Salaries of professors and instructors at the University of Kansas will be raised, if the plans of the alumni are put through. According to statistics, the average salary now being paid the 216 faculty members is $2303, a fairly low figure in comparison with the average of other universities, due chiefly to a lower percentage of increase in salaries since the beginning of the war.

Among other arguments for a large increase in salaries is a comparison with salaries paid in other lines of work. The class of 1906 of Princeton University, for instance, was earning during the fifth year after graduation an average of $2225, and the class of 1906 at Yale was earning an average of $2440.

University of Pennsylvania

All the machinery of the various executive departments of the University of Pennsylvania has been set into motion by the influx of letters from students who seek admission here in February. Hundreds of applications have been pouring in from all over the country, and while no definite count has been made as yet it is known that far more have applied this year than for any other second term in Pennsylvania's history.

More than 250 men have answered the call for crew candidates. Although a record number of men have signed up, new candidates will be given a chance to register during the first part of this week.

The 150-pound crew from last year is intact, with the exception of Knight, who rowed No. 5. No one has been picked to fill his place yet, and there is a lively competition between some fifteen candidates for that seat in the boat. The rest of the crew will row as follows: Mitchell, stroke; Kloss, No. 7; Jellineck, No. 6; Barnhart, No. 4; Pratt, No. 3; Goodis, No. 2, and Geis, bow.

Copeland, Swan, Guenther, Howell and Dean, of last year's University crew, have reported, but it is doubtful whether Howell will be able to row this year, as he is in the Medical School, and will have little time to devote to crew work. His loss will be a serious blow to the crew.
