GIRLS TO SIT BY COUNTIES IN GYM
NUMBER 9.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY OCTOBER 3.1911.
CHAIRMAN AND BANNER FOR EACH GROUP.
Decorating Committee Appointed —Dormitory Workers Withhold Complete Program
An enthusiastic meeting was held by the girls in chapel Monday noon preparatory to the big "Dormitory Day" which will be held in the gymnasium at the chapel hour next Friday. Plans were made to have all girls sit by counties on the main floor of the gymnasium. Each county will have a banner which is to be made by the county chairmen and their committees. A decorating committee was appointed consisting of Delpha Johnson and Elsie Smith chairmen, Lucile Kellerman, Besoil, Madaline Nachtman, Helen Burdick, Anna Manley, Effie Stevens, and Nell Martindell. Another enthusiastic meeting will be held Wednesday noon.
The women in charge of the affair next Friday are planning to make it the biggest day in the history of the women students of the University. The speakers will all be women. Men will occupy the baleony. The band will furnish music. A definite program will be announced later. It is planned that each club or organization will announce through its representative, Friday, the amount which it will give towards the building of the women's dormitory.
ELECTED BY STRAW VOTE.
Wilson The Favorite in The School of Law.
If the students in the law school of the University of Kansas could elect a president, Governor Woodrow Wilson would have a substantial majority. A petition was circulated among the law students here this morning bearing the name of Wilson, Taft. Harmon and LaFollette. It was suggested that the students sign their names under the candidate to whom they would probably contribute their support in case all four were nominated. Wilson received 81 votes, Taft 63, Harmon none and LaFollette 55.
Another petition containing the names of Wilson and Taft was circulated and Wilson received 123 votes and Taft 81. Almost every county in the state is represented in the law school and the expression of the students should be indicative of the general sentiment of Kansas. The Taft visit here a week ago seems to have had little influence on the Wilson sentiment.

This series, which the MacMillan Co., is publishing, is to consist of forty volumes of handy size, and is to be distinctly a library edition, characterized by short yet adequate introduction, rather brief notes, and a glossary full enough to cover disputed points without confusing the reader with minutiae. Owing to the great scope of the work each volume is to be done by a different editor, Prof. Dunlap's book is now on the press.
In a recent number of The Nation is announced a new book by Prof. Wm. S. Johnson, of the English department of the University. This book, which grew out of the course, in Carlyle which Prof. Johnson gives here, bears the title, "Thomas Carlyle: A Study of His Literary Apprenticeship, 1814-1831." It consists of a sketch of Carlyle's life and of the things that interested him, together with a tracing of the development of his ideas, the whole being related to "Sartor Resartus."

The book, bearing the imprint of both the Yale University Press and the Clarendon, Oxford, Press. will be ready for distribution within a few days.
