UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME VI.
HAS ACCEPTED APPOINTMENT.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, NOVEMBER 23.1909
L. L. DYCHE WILL BE FISH AND GAME WARDEN.
NUMBER 30
Board of Regents Will Permin Him to Retain His Position With University.
After a further conference yesterday with Governor Stubbs a Topeka, Prof. L. L. Dyche accepted the appointment as state fish and game warden. Some temporary arrangement will be made whereby Professor Dyche can retain his position in the University together with the new appointment. Chancellor Strong has talked with members of the Board of Regents in regard to such a temporary arrangement and they were agreeable to it.The proposition will be given formal and definite consideration at a meeting of the Board of Regents next Monday. At the next session of the legislature a perma nent arrangement will be asked whereby the fish and game department may be connected with the University and thus taken out of politics.
Professor Dyche has gone to the state fisheries at Pratt, where he will sped some time in starting a set of books of his own and inaugurating new policies. Later he will go to the Bureau of Fish Industries at Washington and the larger state hatcheries of the country where he will get all possible information about fis' hatching and fish raising.
Professor Dyecha expects to develop the Kansas hatcheries so that in time he can distribute a million young fish over the state each year. Both he and Governor Stubbs are very enthusiastic over the possibilities of the fish industry in the state and believe that all the fish demanded by the people of Kansas can be raised in the state.
Professor Dyche will receive only the salary to which he is entitled through his connection with the University, as the last legislature made no appropriation for the fish and game department.
Prof. F. W.Blackmar and Prof. Maurice Parmelee of the department of sociology will attend the annual meeting of the State Conference of Charities and Corrections which will be held in Hutchinson November 27, 28, 29 and 30. Professor Parmelee will deliver an address upon the need of a public defender in criminal cases, and Professor Blackmar will take part in the discussion incident to the various papers presented.

A MEMORIAL BOOK PLATE
May Sexton Agnew Books to Be Designated.
The local chapter of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority has received their book-plate to be used to mark the books bought with the income of the May Sexton Agnew memorial book fund. May Sexton graduated from this University in June 1901. In September she was married to Lieut. Agnew and sailed to the Philippine Islands with him, where she died in November. With a desire to perpetuate her memory, the Kappa Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta, of which she was a member, presented to the University library a sum of money to be known as the May Sexton Agnew Memorial book fund, the income accruing therefrom to be used to purchase books in the department of English literature. Already a number of books have been added to the library and will be designated with this book plate. The plate consists of a series of graceful scrolls, and inside the circle of scrolls an open book bears the name of May Sexton Agnew, the sorority and the words, "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die."
A GOOD CONCERT.
Mune.Frieda Langendorf Pleased the Large Audience.
A large audience greeted Mme. Frieda Langendorff last night when she appeared in the final number of the fall recital course. The program afforded opportunity to hear the wonderful quality and wide range of Mme. Langendorff's voice. Her first number, aria "Oh, My Son," from "Le Prophet" by Meyerbeer and the Swedish folk song, "Der Sehweinchirt," were perhaps the most heartily received. Professor Carl Preyer played the accompaniments in his usual delightful manner.
Mme. Langendorff held a reception in the Greek room after the concert.
Juan Dios Avellaneda, a native of Santander, Spain, registered as a student in the University last week. He will take the mining engineering course. Avellaneda did his preparatory work in a high school in Spain and in a college in Mexico City, where he has lived for a number of years. He expects to pay his way through the University by conducting private classes in Spanish in his room down town.
Native of Spain Enrolled.

KENNEDY'S PETS IN FIGHTING TRIM.
Team Did Not Go to Leavenworth
—Doing Signal Practice on McCook—Leave Thursday.
Coaches Kennedy and Mosse will leave Lawrence with twenty-six men of the regular football squad and the freshman team for Kansas City at 8:20 over the Santa Fe Thursday morning. Every man on the Jayhawker team will go to the border city in great condition for the hardest game of the year. Not a man on the team is suffering from a serious bruise and every one of them is seeking vengeance against Missouri for the Tiger impoliteness of breaking a seven year-old tradition by kicking that memorable field goal last year.
Contrary to expectations, the Jayhawker squad will not be taken to Mosse's farm near Leavenworth. The manager and coaches wanted to give the men three days of good, quiet, simple life, but many of them did not like to leave their school work that long, so the trip has been abandoned.
No serimimage work will be done this week. Last night the men were put through signal practice at a terrific pace. Some of the players insisted that they got a better workout last night than they did in the Iowa game. Tonight the signal work will be continued in the same way and tomorrow the men will do little work.
Brownlee, right end, was called home yesterday to be a witness in a trial. He is expected back to tomorrow morning. This will cause a littl trouble for the coaches, as they expect to use him in the big game.
The team will line up against the Tigers just as it did against Iowa, except that Randall will be at right tackle and "Tommy" Johnson will steer the team from the quarterback position. Coach Kennedy thinks that Davidson, the new left guard, is a find. He has been out of the game on account of an injured knee. Heil will be given a chance to play part of the game. When he goes in Johnson will be shifted to half The coaches expect to let as many able to keep the team at topmen enter the game as will be notch.
At a joint meeting of the Y.W. C.A. cabinet and advisory board yesterday, Miss Nadia Thomas was chosen as general secretary to fill the vacancy caused by Miss Nourse's resignation. She will take up her work here January 1.
Miss Thomas Elected.
Stella Cornell of Great Bend, who was a sophomore in the College last year, is visiting here this week.
BOARD OF HEALTH MEETS
All Business for the Year to Be Finished.
The members of the State Board of health, composed of Professors Sayre, Jackson and Bailey of the University of Kansas, and Professor Willard of the Agricultural College at Manhattan, which met last Monday and Tuesday at Topeka, convened here yesterday. This will be its last meeting this year and all business will be finished.
Mr. Hearsch of the Ridenour-Baker Grocery company of Kansas City and Mr. Mory, federal food inspector also of Kansas City with Mr. Kleinhaus., the state food inspector are here to advise with the board.
Professors Bailey and Hoad are also in consultation on water systems in the various cities and towns in the state. Samples of water are being received and analyzed and reported upon. One of the problems in the southern part of the state is to rid the water of oil and by products of the refineries.
INQUIRIES ARE COMING.
Army Officer Wants to Know How to Teach Men to Swim.
Dr. Naismith this morning received a letter from an army officer of high standing, of Fort Riley, asking for instructions in his method of teaching a man to swim in fifteen minutes.
The officer stated that he had seen Dr. Naismith's article copied in the Kansas City Times, and as swimming was now compulsory in the army and as no method had yet proved satisfactory, he had taken the liberty to write and ask for instructions.
Dr. Naismith answered the officer's letter by enclosing a magazine in which his article, entitled "Teaching a Person to Swim in Fifteen Minutes," was published.
Hicks Is Helping.
Al. Hicks, better known to old timers as "Bruiser," who played end on the K. U. team three years and was captain in 1904, arrived in Lawrence from his home in the short grass country last night He will remain untilTurkey day, helping Kennedy, Mosse et al. round the Jayhawks into proper shape to twist the Tiger's tail.
Conditions Are Improved.
Prof. F, W.Blackmar and Prof. Maurice Parmecle made a trip of inspection to the state prison at Lansing last Saturday. They found conditions improved from the situation last year when they were investigated by a commission of which Professor Blackmar was a member. The authorities are carrying out the recommendations of the commission as far as possible.
"Seedy" Newbold, a junior last year, was here Saturday and Sunday.
THE LAST BIG RALLY OF YEAR
BAND, AND CHEERING TO MORROW.
Team and Old Stars in Chapel Meeting Tonight at Lee and Kentucky Streets.
Football enthusiasm will reign supreme tomorrow morning after the regular chapel exercises. At that time the final Lawrence knot will be tied in the Tiger's tail. The band will be there to play Poola and the Kansas Spirit. The final workout for the rooters is to be held at this time and on that account the cheer leader requests that every man bring his megaphone.
The undefeated football boys of 1909 as well as many of the ex-stars of the K. U. gridiron will be on the platform. The general "enthusers" of the University will be on hand to see that the requisite amount of enthusiasm is injected into the crowd. Chancellor Strong, Manager Lansdon, Prof. Van der Vries, Coach Mossse* Geo. O. Foster and many others will do the forensic act.
The cheer leader requests that everyone bring arm bands, football pins, ribbons and pennants to this last big rally of the year.

The chapel will be a mass of color to show the team the appreciation and best wishes of the student body.
Tonight the cheer leader wishes to meet all the rooters who will attend the Thanksgiving game, at the corner of Lee and Kentucky streets at 7 o'clock for a short cell practice. "Bring your megaphones and let's wake the echoes of the town," is the slogan.
