REGENT STOMEETFOR IMPORTANTBUSINESS
NEW AD. BUILDING TO BE ACCEPTED.
Demands For Printing Plant to be Considered—Question of University Extension
The regents have all been asked to attend the University of Wisconsin in company with Chancellor Strong, and R. R. Price of the University extension department, in regard to adopting the Wisconsin plan either in whole or in part with a view of making the University of more value to the state, and of securing more cooperation between the University and the citizens of the state.
Some matters of great importance to the University will be taken up by the board of regents which will meet next Monday at Lawrence. These will include a consideration of plans for enlarging the scope of the University as proposed at the conference of educators which met in Topeka a week ago, the settlement of the question of whether or not a new printing plant should be installed at the University, and the acceptance or rejection of the new Administration building, and possibly arrangements for letting the contract for the new state fish hatcheries at Pratt will be consummated.
Professor Merle Thorpe, head of the department of Journalism has asked for a new printing plant to enable him to carry out the courses which were offered to the students of Journalism early in the year, especially in the art and mechanics of printing.
The authority to let the contract for the new $65,000 fish hatcheries at Pratt has been turned over to the board of regents and if they care to undertake the responsibility, they may take charge of the matter at Monday's meeting. The plans for the hatcheries were drawn up by students in the School of Engineering and submitted by them to state fish and game warden Prof. L. L Dyche, who is also connected with the University.
Professor Thorpe said today in regard to the new equipment, "The equipment for which I am asking will enable me to give the students in Journalism a working knowledge of the mechanical department of the newspaper that he may be better fitted for newspaper work."
The new Administration Building is practically completed and if after the regents have inspected it, they accept it, the building will be occupied as soon as a heating plant can be installed. A temporary plant will probably be installed at once.

Pledge cards will be passed around to each girl present to be filled out for some amount to go towards the support of Laura Radford, '94, who is general secretary of the Y. W. C. A. in Calcutta, India. The committee intends to advertise tomorrow's meeting by the use of yellow tags which will appear on the campus tomorrow morning and will be pinned on every girl student.

WILLIAM JEWELL WON
Missourians Beat Soccer Team 2 to 0.
The soccer game at Liberty, Mo., Saturday between the teams representing the University, and William Jewell, resulted in a victory for William Jewell by the score of 2 to 0.
The Kansas team kept the ball in William Jewell's territory in the first half but were unable to score, and in the second half William Jewell plainly played better ball and kicked the only goal of the game
Coach Root says that the team showed lack of condition owing to the short time he has had for scrimmage so far, but he expects them to make a much better showing against Friends University on MeCook next Saturday.
Robinson, left full back for Kansas, collided with an opponent in the first half of the game last Saturday and received a bad blow on the head. He was replaced by Lewellen.

PROF. STELTER RESIGNS.
Assistant Instructor Will Go To Cornell.
Prof. B, F. Stelter, assistant instructor in English in the School of Engineering has tendered his resignation, to take effect at once.
Mr. Stelter gives a call from Cornell University as the reason for this move. While reluctant to leave the University of Kansas at this time, he feels that the chance for advancement and more suitable work is an opportunity he cannot afford to miss. An increase in salary also goes with the new position.
The loss of Mr. Stelter will be felt by the English department seriously. Mr. Stelter's work has been highly satisfactory in every respect, and his place will be hard to fill. His successor has not yet been announced.

Yesterday morning the professor came to his classes attempting to assume a nonchalant air but Uncle Jimmy found him in his office eropping "Rock-a-bye baby," and immediately started an investigation. The professor said the cause of his exuberance was the arrival of a son and heir and informed the Dean that he was named James in his honor.
This morning the Middle Law presented to the youthful barrister a silver loving cup and forthwith took a holiday. The Juniors will take their vacation tomorrow.
