EASTERN METHODS.
NEW PRINCIPAL AT WORK
PROF. CHARLE8 W. TAYLOR HEAD
OF UNIVERSITY TEACHERS'
HIGH 8CHOOL.
"If the K. U. squad has no kicker I
will develop ono," is the declaration
of Ralph W. Sherwln, the new foot-
Charles W, Taylor, of tho class of
1898, has succeeded Professor Crocker
as principal of the Tomplo High
School. In connection with hiB new
work ho will also have a class in
"School Administration" in tho
Teachers' College.
Mr. Taylor is regarded as ono of
tho ablest school men in tho state.
Since leaving tho University ho has
had twelve years' experience as super
intendent of tho city schools at OhI
owa, Geneva and McCook.
Ho was president of tho Central No
braska Teachers' association and of
tho Southwest association. His ap
pointment is received with unquali
fied approval by school men every
where, all recognizing him as being a
man of splendid administrative abil
ity. Upon graduating from the Red Oak,
Iowa, High School, Mr. Taylor en
tered tho University of Nebraska,
where ho took an active part In stu
dent affairs. Ho was a member of
tho Interstate Debating team and cor

Dartmouth man, who played under
tho new rules last year. The now
gamo is to punt tho ball and Sherwln
will introduce these eastern methods
at Kansas. Ho claims that "risks'' at
gaining aro what win games.
"Every avallablo attic and baBO
ment on tho campus us already boon
converted into a classroom to rolioro
overcrowded condltlonB, so wo ard
unable to further remedy tho conges
tion, declared Suporintondont ' of
Buildings, Grounds and Construction
C. E. Chowins.
Classes of beginners in tho law col
lege are suffering tho most from tho
situation. Room 304 in University
hall, wherp those olaBBes aro sched
uled, boiUb only sixty-Bovon, whoroas
there aro over eighty Freshmen Laws
enrolled, and tho number 1b apt to
increase rather than diminish.
A number of ordinary straight chairs
have been pressed Into servico, thoro
by packing tho room to its full ca
pacity, yet it Is evident that when full
attondanco becomes tho rulo after this
weok's unsettled conditions, standing
room will have to bo resorted to.
Dean Hastings' Puzzled.
Judgo Hastings, dean of tho law col
lege, and tho professors of tho department,-
have boon trying .tajJolve,
tho problem evor sinco tho first
classes wore held, but have finally
glvon It up to Suporintondont Chowins.
Othor classes aBlde from thoso In
Freshmen law aro also too largo for
their regular quarters. Dr. Bessoy's
classes in Botnny I had to bo sched
uled in tho Mechanical Engineering
building instend of old Nebraska hall
on account of insufficient room in tho
latter.
Official Plumber Ousted.
Students who aro curious to know
Just why a supply of plumbing pipe
and fixtures now occupy the ground
north of University hall, will bo In
terested in learning that tho Univer
sity plumber, with his paraphernalia,
was ouBtod from his sanctum in tho
basement in order to make room for
the Legislative Referenco Bureau.
Where to stow tho plumbing material
is now a question with the authorities.
What to do with tho crowds of
chemistry students, that have poured
In upon him, Is tho question which is
now perplexing Professor Benton
Dales, head of tho chemistry depart
ment. Chemistry Labs Overflow.
Over eight hundred students havo
registered in this department. Tho
original capacity of tho chemistry
buildings allows for only five hun
dred and seventy. Last year nearly
seven hundred students wero accom
modated in ProfosBor Dale's depart
ment, but it was crowded to tho limit.
With an attendance moro than ono
hundred greater than last year, new
accommodations will have toxbo pro
vided. Notices of the desk arrange
ments will be posted Saturday If pos-
