STUDENT'S EYE BURNED BY ACID
SPLASHED SULPHURIC ACID INTO FACE.
Roy Rankin, Senior, Was Clean ing Apparatus—Dr. McAlester Treated The Burn.
Roy Rankin, a senior in the College, severely burned the pupil of his left eye with sulphuric acid while working in the chemical laboratory last Thursday evening. He was cleaning a piece of apparatus with the acid and potassium bichromate when the solution splashed up into his face and entered his eye. He quickly washed it away with cold water but not soon enough to keep it from injuring the sight.
Dr. H. L. Chambers treated the eye but fearing that it might prove dangerous, he sent Rankin to Dr. A. W. McAlerest, the eye specialist at the University Medical School at Rosedale, Friday morning.
Rankin returned to Lawrence last night and reports that the burn is not nearly so deep as it was first thought. The injury is across the pupil of the eye but he will not lose the sight of it unless fresh complications set in. Doctor McAlester says that it is possible that the vision of this eye may be clouded but that he hopes even to remedy this defect.
Rankin will make daily trips to Rosedale until all danger is past.

MASS MEETING TO START UNION FUND
Students Will Circulate Promis sory Notes During Holidays —Tentative Plans Drawn
After chapel on December 15, a mass meeting of the students will be held to make arrangements for starting a fund for a Students Union Building.
A plan by which the campaign for funds may be started during the Christmas holidays has been evolved by the Men's Student Council. A number of promissory notes, made payable to E. E. Brown, secretary and purchasing agent of the University will be given the students to be circulated among the friends of the University at the different cities over the state. A promissory note must also be signed by the student collector promising the Council that the student will try his best to collect a certain specified amount before the end of the holidays.
Tentative plans for the building are being made by Arch MacKinnon, president of the Council, and Prof. H. A. Rice. Blue print copies of the plans will be given to each student so that he may better explain the proposed building. A site back of the Administration Building, on a knoll overlooking the golf links, has been selected as a suitable place to build, if the necessary funds can be obtained.
The building which the Council plans to erect will be two stories high above the basement and will cost about $100,000. It will contain different amusements for the students, general assembly halls, quarters for visiting athletic teams and a lunch counter.
If other arrangements for a University dining hall are not made, the Union building will contain one in the basement. The Council is now investigating book stores and plan to ask the Regents for permission to place a co-operative store in the proposed building if the plan is found to be practical.

A DAILY KANSAN IS WHAT WENEED
UNIVERSITY DEANS SHOW
FAVORABLE ATTITUDE
Engineers Pass a Resolution Favoring The Movement— Pledge Their Support.
If the sentiment expressed by several members of the faculty is an indication of the attitude of the rest of that body, the movement for a Daily Kansan will be successfully concluded. Below will be found a few words from University deans and a resolution passed by the students of the School of Engineering:
"I am heartily in favor of making the Kansan a daily as I think that it would be a good thing for the University. The only question in my mind is in regard to the support of the paper on the part of the students."—Dean J. W. Green.
"That the University needs a daily is apparent when we make comparisons with other colleges in our class. I endorse the movement and hope it can be carried to a successful conclusion."—Dean Dean Templin.
"The University of Kansas should have a daily newspaper for the interests of the student body in particular and the University in general. There is no question about its desireability; there should be no question about its financial support. The University is so large now that the Kansan is about the only way for a professor or a student to know what is going on. It has become indispensable to people who would be well informed. They need daily information."—Prof. Frank Blackmar.
At a meeting of the Engineers in chapel Thursday morning a committee was appointed to draw up a set of resolutions in favor of a Daily Kansan. The Engineering School as a whole is very much in favor of the plan that is now being pushed so strongly and have pledged themselves to do all in their power to make it a success.
The committee drew up the following resolution :
"Be it resolved, that we, the School of Engineering, are in hearty accord with the movement to make the Kansan a daily, and will lend our enthusiastic support to further this project, which will place the University of Kansas in its deserved, relative standing with other Universities of its size and class.
V. H. Hilford, Chairman.
Geo. E. Broderick,
M. C. Conley,
Committee."
