LAWRENCE, KANSAS SATURDAY. OCTOBER 14, 1911.
TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY OF WOMEN
Failure in Work Bars From Office—Will Have Judge of Elections.
The Women's Student Council at its regular weekly meeting Wednesday afternoon took up the subject of rules regarding the eligibility of women candidates for class offices. Heretofore there have been no rules regarding the eligibility of class officers and the committee on organizations other than athletic have taken no action whatsoever. Hence the Woman's Student Council has made the following regulations and rules to govern the eligibility of women candidates for class elections;
1. All questions of the eligibility of girls and all questions of illegal voting on the part of girls in class elections shall be referred to the Women's Student Council.
2. All women candidates must be regularly enrolled as a member of the class in which she is a candidate for office. A woman student having a deficiency of not more than ten hours will be regarded as regularly enrolled.
4. All women candidates for office must qualify by securing on a petition the names of twenty-five persons eligible to vote for them, endorsing their candidacy. These petitions must be handed to the president of the Women's Council by noon the Tuesday preceding election.
3. A woman candidate having but one failure and taking the work over again is declared eligible for office.
5. The president of the Women's Council shall appoint one girl from each class to serve as election judge in all class elections with the judges appointed by the president of the Men's Council.

University Will Determine What Housewives Are Buying.
TOMATOES OR WATER?
Are Kansas Housewives buying tomatoes or are they buying water when they ask for canned tomatoes at the grocery store? The state pure food laboratory at the University of Kansas proposes to answer this question. During the past week the laboratory has resembled a cannery. Dozens of cans of tomatoes have been "put up" under varying conditions. These will later be subjected to tests. The department is looking for a method of analyzing canned tomatoes to determine readily whether manufacturers have diluted them with water in violation of the state pure food law.
PRIZE FOR FOOT BALL SONG
A prize of five dollars to the undergraduate member of the University who shall submit the best original football song, adopted for a popular melody was offered today by a member of the faculty. It is desired that these words and the popular song to which they are to be sung, shall be handed in at the Kan-san office by November 1. A committee composed of Prof. W. H. Carruth, Prof. C. E. Hubach and Charles Dolde will judge the merits of the songs.
TEST SUPPOSED METEORITE
107 Pound Star Found in Man's Garden.
A supposed meteorite was brought to Lawrence from Thomas county yesterday by J. A. Vaughn who exhibited it at the Eldridge house. It weighs one hundred and seven pounds and is of a black color with a few white crystals in it. Mr. Vaughn said that he saw the meteor fall and then he went out and dug it out of his garden where it had plowed a trench about four feet long and two feet deep.
Prof. Erasmus Hawerth examined the specimen and said that the material of which it was composed was similar to some meteorites but that the general outside appearance would lead him to believe that it was not. He will make a thorough test of samples taken from it next week.
MACHINE EXPLODES
The Liquid Air Plant Was Almost Wrecked.
An explosion of the liquid air machine yesterday almost wrecked the plant and George Dunn the operator, narrowly escaped a serious injury. The joints on the potash drum had become loosened and in an attempt to fix these the high air pressure caused a large amount of potash to be blown out taking with it one of the sections of pipe. This pipe was thrown entirely across the room and passed within a half inch of Dunn who was trying to fix the break. The machine will be ready for use in a few days.
Sixty-Five Members Added to Roll.

DUTCH MARKET TONIGHT
Kappas Will Convert House Into Restaurant.
A "Dutch Market" will be given this evening from 5 o'clock until 7 o'clock at the Kappa house, 1215 Oread for the benefit of the girl's dormitory fund. All the proceeds of the "market" will be given to the campaign committee for the Women's building.
The sorority house will be converted into a veritable Dutch carnival. There will be booths of all colors and sizes. The colors used in decoration will be red, blue and yellow. The girls will be dressed in the costumes of Holland and if you go to the market you will be surprised to see the many novel features of a "Dutch-hand."
The dutch lassies will serve appetizing lunches, "dutch lunches" to the students who attend. Baked beans, buttermilk, rye bread, sandwiches and all the popular dutch dishes will be "dished up" in the regular style of good old "Deutsch Land."
Dr. Mason Talks in Chapel.
Remember that all the proceeds from the dainties sold at the Kappa house tonight will be added to the money already subscribed to the girl's dormitory fund.
Wilber N. Mason, the new president of Baker University, addressed the students of this institution yesterday in chapel on the subject, "The Debt of the College Man."
Mr. Mason included all college students under the head "College Men" and divided their debt into three divisions, the debt of duty the debt of opportunity, and the debt to the community from which they come.
"There are too many institutions where many of the students attend for a good time only," said the speaker, "and although I do not think there can be any here, it is just as well to be told where they fail to meet their obligations." He declared that such people were parisites and were idling away that which many would saerifeice almost anything to obtain an educatio.
"People now-a-days are cultivating too much of the softness of life. This is all right until it weakens one's sense of duty." Mr. Mason said. "A thief is a thief, and a drunkard a drunkard, no matter how high the guilty party stands in social station." Christ was cited as the highest type of man who realized his duty to others.
The third debt which men owe is one to the community from which he comes "College education has a place on the farm and in the small town as well as well as in the great city." Mr. Mason said. "One who looks down on his home surroundings with a hypercritical air is to be despised. Rather," he said, "one should put his life into the home community and lift the standard there by use of one's advantages."
