The system of preferential balloting

or choices. Each voter will be en
titled to one first choice, one second
choice, and as many third choices as
he desires to register.
No candidate may be voted for in
more than one column of a single
ballot
If the count shows that any candi
date has received first choice votes
equal in number to a majority of the
total number of ballots cast, that can
didate will be certified to the student
publication board for appointment.
If, in the case of any position, no
candidate has received a number of
first choice votes sufficient to deter

Animal husbandry students of an
eastern university who spent their va
cation in districts where the foot and
mouth disease is prevalent are being
fumigated today over at the veterinary
department. This is being done mere
ly as a precaution against the bring
ing In of the disease to the college
stock. The method of fumigation Is
the same as that used by al veterinary
men in their work against the dis
ease, and is perfectly harmless. A
sheet that covers each man with the
exception of his head Is used and for
maldehyde gas Is generated beneath
It effectually destroying all dangerous
germs that the man may accidentally
be carrying around with him.
Y. W. C. A. VESPER
SERVICE YESTERDAY
Girls Gave Interesting Talks Golden
Window One Subject En
courage Friendship
The Y. W. C. A. vesper service Tues
day night was unique in the fact that
girls from different colleges gave in
teresting talks on the subject "The
College Girl's Road." The first talk
was by Helen Parsons on "The Golden
Windows." The second was by Ethel
Rathkey on "The House by the Side
of the Road." She saw In this the
idea of service and pointed out the
special responsibility of the college
girl.
Miss Gale spoke on "Comrades."
She spoke of the different relations
we have to people and said that we
must learn to walk with Jesus if we
are going to make our earthly friend
ships mean what they should. She
showed the foolishness of the snob
and cynic.
Drake University musical students
and faculty will engage in an annual

GERMAN PLAY GIVEN
FRIDAY EVENING
Entitled "Das Verlorene Paradles" and
Is a Modern 'German Play
Typical of German Life
The German Dramatic Club will
give their annual play Friday, Janu
ary 15, in the Temple Theatre. A
large cast has been chosen and is
working unusually hard to make this
play a success.
It is a modern German play, entitled
"Das Verlorene Paradles," and de
picts German family life and Its con
nection to the business world. The
father, Mr. Bernardl, is a well-to-do
fjctory owner. His wife's whole In
terest is in the home, while their
daughter Edith, who is well educated
and has traveled a great deal, has lost
all the illusions of life, so that she is
not interested In anything. Richard
von Ottondorf, the son of a distin
guished German writer, makes a busi
ness contract with Mr. Bernardl in
which he is to receive Edith's hand
in marriage.
In a scene with the laborers of the
factory, who threaten a strike, Otten
dorf shows himself to be so narrow
that Edith is 'disgusted and refuses
to marry him. This rather disap
points her parents, but, as usual, they
yield to her will and Ottondorf is
forced to give up the whole of the
contract.

A CHAP ELME
DR. CALDWELL AT YESTERDAY'S
CONVOCATION
BUT FEW STUDENTS ATTEND
"American Wars and Their Influence
on American and World De
velopment" Subject of
of Topic
A small audience attended convoca
tion yesterday to hear the address
given by Professor Caldwell of the
American history department on the
"American Wars and Their Influence
on American and World Develop
ment." Professor Caldwell spoke In
detail of each of the five American
wars and the effect each has had upon
the development of this-country, and
upon the world in general. The Revo
lutionary War opened a way, he said,
for the evolution of a new people, who
bave contributed largely to the world.
The Civil War settled the disputes be
tween the North and the South and
united them in a way that would have
been hard to accomplish otherwise.
He said that a peaceful means of se
curing the abolition of slavery could
not have been secured at that time.
He further remarked that .he hoped,
and believed, that a time would come
when national questions would be set
tled by an upbuilding rather than a
tearing down of the country.

So great has been the recent growth
of the graduate college of the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania that the present
facilities for teaching professional
courses are entirely inadequate and
that plans are being made Jot the
erection of a building to cost half a
million dollars. Though no date has
been fixed for the commencement of
building operations, the probable site
is telng cleared for action, workmen
having already started the demolition
of several existing structures.

FEW TICKETS STILL
LACKING FOR PLAY
Seventy-Five Names Still Lacking to
Make the Junior Play a Suc
cess This Year
Only about seventy-five names are
lacking on the advance list for the
Junior play. Those who have not yet
signed up are urged to do so before
Saturday night in order to get the
benefit of the advance price of $1.50.
After Saturday night there will be no
opportunity to get tickets at this
price and those who purchase them
at the box office will have to pay $2.00.
This is final and no exceptions will be
made to this rule.
Chairman Harkson announces that
"If I Were King?" will be given if
copy can be obtained. Other good
plays will be obtained in case this play
can not bo secured, so that those who
wish to go will be assured of a high-
class play. All Juniors are urged to
come out and help their class.
Fifty men of the senior class of the
University of Texas, the largest num
ber that has attended a senior class
meeting for many days, at a smoker
held recently, squelched the cap and

MORE STATISTICS
MANY LONG RUNS FROM KICK
OFF LA8T 8EASON
MENTION CAPTAIN HALLIGAN
Nebraska Leader Scored More Place
Kicks In a Single Game (The
Iowa Game) Than Any
Other Player in 1914
By Parke H. Davis.
The monarch of all individual run
ning feats upon the gridiron is the
full field run from kick-off to a touch
down. Prior to 1914 only twenty-six
instances are to be found of runs of
this character. The-past season, how
ever, produced not less than sixteen
of these runs and two players (J. P.
Gallagher of Christian rBothers Col
lege and A. Barnard of Washington
State) attained the novel distinction
of making such a run twice in one
season. Four men divide the honor
of having made the longest runs of
this class. Their achievements are to
be found in the following data:
Ninety-five yards, R. L. Tolley,- Se
wanee) vs. Cumberland.
Ninety-five yards, H. N. Benfer, (Al
bright) vs. Susquehanna.
Ninety-five yards, W. S. Tucker.
(Pennsylvania) vs. Swarthmore.
Ninety-five yards, J. P. Gallagher,
(Christian Brothers) vs. Ohio North
ern. Similar to the run from kick-off is
the long run-back of a punt to a touch
down. Two players share the distinc
tion of having made the longest runs
of this kind. One of them it -will be
noted has already been featured in
running back a kick-off. These men
and their runs are as follows:
Eighty-five yards, R. L. Tolley, (Se
wanee) vs. Florida.
Eighty-five yards, Sacksteder, Chris
tion Brothers) vs. Ohio Northern.
The longest run from a scrimmage
formation in which the ball was regu
larly received must be distributed
among three men, each from a differ
ent section of the country:
Ninety yards, C. E. Kirk, (Maine)
vs. Norwich.
Ninety yards, G. E. Smith, (Michi
gan Agricultural College) vs. Akron.
Ninety yards, William Morris, (Den
ver) vs. Wyoming.
