ENGINEERS HAVE CHRISTMAS DANCE
INFORMAL AFFAIR IN GYM
DECEMBER 16.
Will Have Elaborate Evergreen Decorations—Will be Annual Function.
In order that they will not be entirely out-done by their old time rivals, the law students the engineers have planned a dance for Saturday evening, December 16, in Robinson gymnasium. While the event will in no way be as large or elaborate an affair as the Law Scrim, the Engineers intend to have just as good a time as their barristar brothers.
A three piece orchestra will be placed in the center of the gymnasium floor. Evergreens will be draped around the walls of the room and electric lighted pins of the different schools represented in the School of Engineering will blaze forth from behind the evergreen. No refreshments will be served, the affair being entirely informal. The faculty as well as the students will attend. It will be made an annual affair and will be known as the Engineer's Christmas Dance. An admission of fifty cents per couple will be charged.
DELANEY MAKES
ALL-WESTERN SQUAD
Walter Eckersall Places Kansas Kicker on Second Team—Ames And Nebraska Represented.
Walter Eckersall, the greatest quarterback the University of Chicago ever had, and at present a Chicago sport writer, has selected an All-Western football team. Delaney, the Jayhawker kicker, is the only member of this year's squad to place on Eckersall's selections. He is given the left end position on the second eleven. The only other Missouri Valley players on this team are Chappel, of Ames, at right end, and Owen Frank, of Nebraska, at left halfback. Shonka, the big Nebraska captain, was placed at left guard on the first All-Western eleven. Eckersall's All-Western elevens are:
First Eleven.
Hoeffel, Wisconsin, Left end.
Conklin, (Captain), Michigan,
Left tackle.

MAT ARTISTS ORGANIZE
Will Have Matches With Other Schools.
An instruction class in wrestling has been formed by Mr. Root, instructor in the gymnasium, to meet three times a week in the wrestling room, commencing tomorrow at four thirty. All men who intend to try out for the class teams or the team which will represent the University this year, must join this class. A schedule of matches with wrestlers from other institutions and one between the different classes, will be arranged as soon as possible.
So Says Mr. Fite of Harvard Dean Johnston Replies in Nation.
UNIVERSITIES CANNOT
MAKE SCHOOL MA'S
That "School-ma'ms" should start to teach at once, practicing on the children of the different communities, is the opinion of a Mr. Fite, who in a recent number of "The Nation," begins to rival Mr. Crane of Chicago in criticizing the universities of the country.
Mr. Fite, who evidently is trying to live up to his name, is a professor at Harvard, but still believes that intending teachers should not take courses in teaching at universities or normal schools. Though a teacher himself, he says it is a waste of time and an absurdity for intending pedagogues to practice teaching at college.
Prof. C. H. Johnston of the School of Education at the University of Kansas replied to the attack by an article, also in "The Nation." According to Prof. Johnston, Mr. Fite overlooks the fact that by his method the teacher also begins practicing on children, or "mere humans" as Mr. Fite calls them. Moreover Prof. Johnston shows that Mr. Fite's method would be exceedingly expensive and unsatisfactory to the states, that would try to use inexperienced teachers.
TEST CONCRETE BEAMS.
Senior Hydraulic Engineers do Elaborate Work on Thesis
Finding the effect of repeated loads upon re-inforced concrete beams is the joint problem assigned to J. J. Tucker, H. Stockwell, H. S. Wilson, T. P. Humphrey, and H. H. Houk, Hydraulic Engineers, in the annual Senior engineering thesis now being assigned.
Under the direction of Professor Corp, a machine for testing is being erected in Fowler shops by which reinforced concrete beams may be subjected to great and repeated pressure, similar to pressures to be expected in practical construction work and a "fatigue" limit determined for certain makes of beams. In warehouses, large building, piers, etc., concrete beams stand repeated shocks, and it is the purpose of these tests to determine the maximum loading which such beams can stand.
Two years ago Professor Corp and Prof. H. A. Rice started a series of similar tests which were never completed. Now, with the apparatus in Fowler Shops, beams will be subjected to loads varying from 90 per cent of estimated efficiency down to those showing that the beam is uninjured or not at all affected. Definite data will be taken, experiments with all extremes of loading made, until a point of elimination is reached where the beams show no "fatigue" under its load. From these experiments definite estimates for actual construction can be made—regarding foundations for large a very important question now structures.
Last Thursday evening about eighty men gathered at Myers hall to eat apples, and pumpkin pies and drink cider. This jollification was planned by the Y. M. C. A. for the benefit of the men who did not go home for the holidays.

TEN STUDENTS WILL
MAKE TESTS AT WICHITA
Four Mechanicals And Six Electrics Will Try Efficiency of Power Plant.
Ten students of the School of Engineering left yesterday for Wichita where they will make a ten days efficiency test of the plant that is to furnish power and light for the city and for the street railway system.
Blackmar to Address Women.
"Scientific Management Applied to Student Life" will be the subject of Prof. F. W. Blackmar's talk at the regular meeting of the Y. W. C. A. Wednesday afternoon of this week..
Next week's meeting will be a recognition meeting for the one hundred and seventy-five new members of the association.
The date of the regular meeting of the Y. M. C. A. for this week has been changed from Thursday to Saturday night. This has been done in order to secure Mr. Raymond Robbins of Chicago, who is a social reformer and trade union exponent of national reputation. Thursday's Kansas will give full details of Mr. Robbins' visit to the University.
Prof. C. A. Johnson of the department of Electrical engineering will be in charge of the work done by the men. Robert Fisher, assistant in the mechanical engineering laboratory, will have charge of the boiler tests and will make a special study of the flue gases.
The students who are making the test are Ray Bartlett. Charles G. Martinson and William J. Plank, of the department of mechanical engineering; Ray Mock, M. K. Thomen, G. O. Brown, H. E. Hoadley, Elmer Dershem and H. F. Wilson of the department of electrical engineering.
