CLASSMATES GIVE THEIR FLESH TO AID CLYDE MARIS
Six Men Gave up Part of Their Skin to Injured Student
DOCTOR CALLS FOR TEN MORE
Final Operation and Grafting Will be Executed in Dr. Rudolph's Office Wednesday, at 9:30.
By sasrificing a piece of their skin a little larger than a pea, ten students can assure the complete recovery of Clyde Maris, the freshman engineer, who was injured several weeks ago. He was bruised, and his flesh was torn in places, when he collided with a street car while riding his motorcycle.
Maris has been treated by Dr. John C. Rudolph, and all of his wounds are healed, except one on his back which is heightened of its size will require skin grafting.
Six students have offered to have part of their skin taken for the freshman engineer. They are William Baker, of Rosedale; C. J. Bayles, of Garrison; R. C. Keeling, of Oakley; F. F. Maret, of Haviland; Claude Griffith, of Lawrence and Paul Cunnick, of Lawrence. All are freshman engineers and classmates of Maris Dr.Rudolph will also give part of his skin for the operation. The final operation and grafting of the skin will be executed Wednesday, and Dr. Rudolph says it is necessary that ten more persons offer skin before the operation can be made. All who want to receive grafting part of their skin for the injured student are requested to go to Dr. Rudolph's office, 922 Kentucky Street at 30:08 o'clock Wednesday May 29. The physician guarantees that the operation will not be painful and will be no bad after effects.
JAYHAWKS PUT CRIMP IN QUIGLEY MACHINE
Jayhawker Aggregation Out for Revenge—Win Last Game by 6 to 0
If the Quigley Athletes expected anything in the gift line from the Kansas Cripples last Saturday they were sadly mistaken. The Jayhawk aggregation showed the Catholics that although they had slipped from the Missouri Valley Championship claimants they were still out for scalp. Sherwin's men were certainly out for revenge and when the last feeble ray of hope flickered out for St. Marys in the last of the ninth, the Kansans held the game by a 6-0 score.
Neither team scored in the first, but in the second the Kansans annexed one and started the scoring. From that point up to the fifth both teams were held scoreless by the perfect pitching of Mahoney for the Catholics and Walker for Kansas. Then things began to break and four tallies were brought in by timely swats of the jayhawker assisted by errors for the Quigley aggregation. In the next inning Sherwin's men collected one more run to their credit. Walker, however, continued to baffle the St. Mary's players from St. Mary's were held closest to the end of the game. The game was featured by the perfect delivery of Walker and the stellar hitting of Ammons and Walker. All the team were in good form and played in the form that they displayed before their last slump.
This closes the season for the Jayhawker baseball team. The St. Marys baseball machine have one more game to play, that with K. S. A. C. next Tuesday. To win the Missouri Valley Championship the Quigley claimants will have to annex this clash.
The score by innings: R. H. E. Kansas. . . .010 041 004—6 5 2 St. Marys. . . .000 000 000—0 4 5
PROF. W. C. HOAD TO GO TO MICHIGAN
Professor of Sanitary Engineering Accepts Position From Northern School
A POSITION MORE LUCRATIVE
Both Rank and Salary Will be Increased—Michigan Men Charge The State For Exert Services
The State For Expert Services
Michigan has stolen a man from Kansas in the person of William C. Hoad, professor of sanitary engineering. His appointment as head of a new department of sanitary engineering at the big northern school was confirmed by the Michigan board of regents last Friday. Professor Hoad was called to Michigan for a consultation about two weeks ago and at that time accepted the appointment. Professor Hoad's loss will be distinctly felt by nearly every city and town in Kansas. During the past year he has examined and approved two million dollars' worth of municipal work in Kansas, and has advised with more than two hundred towns and cities on questions of water supply, sewage, purification plants, and renewal of franchises. At present he has on hand plans and specifications for towns, only partially completed, amounting to another two millions.
SALARY AND RANK INCREASED
SALARY AND RANK INCREASED
He goes to the University of Michigan as head of the sanitary engineering department at a substantial increase in salary and rank. In addition to this, the difference in the policy of the Michigan and Kansas Universities will double his salary. Michigan is one of the faculty to do state work to charge the cities for their work. Kansas University goes on the theory that it is an arm of the state and that the state has a right to call on the University for free service, whenever such work does not interfere with its teaching province.
Professor Hoad is a graduate of the University of Kansas, class of 1898. For two years following his graduation he did engineering work for the Santa Fe and Union Pacific railroads, after which he specialized in sanitary engineering at the Boston Institute of Technology. As associate professor of engineering, he served on the State Board of Health in 1907, and has continued with that body ever since. Professor Hoad will leave the first of September for Michigan to take up his new duties there.
REGISTRAR FOSTER GETS INLAID TABLE
Incapacitated Prisoners at the State Penitentiary Do Excellent Work
The table is a massive design thirty-one inches high with an inlaid woodwork top fifty-one by thirty-three inches. The top is made up of fifteen different kinds of hard wood and contains twenty thousand pieces. The work is done in the wook work shop at the penitentiary by incapacitated prisoners who are not able to do heavy manual labor. The work is of a very high grade and the piece given to Mr. Foster is easily worth $150.
Registrar George O. Foster has at his office a handsome oak library table which he has just received as an award from the Royal Cedding of the State Penitentiary.
"I can think of but one thing to be done with such a handsome thing," said Mr. Foster this morning as he carefully covered the mosaic top with papers, "and that is to place it in the reception room which I hope we are going to have in the Administration Building."

JAYHAWKERMANAGERCALLS UPON SENIORS TO HELP BEAR FINANCIAL DEFICIT
To the Members of the Senior Class:
I am about to take the bitterest dose of medicine it has ever been my misfortune to take. I must confess that my attempts at managing the 1912 Jayhawker have been a failure.
We have gone into debt, not fifty or a hundred dollars, but several hundred.
The cause, I am sorry to say is due entirely to lack of foresight on my part. We tried to put out the best annual that had ever been seen at this school and we overstepped our limit. Whether or not I would have taken the book entirely on my own responsibility I cannot say. I intended to be as careful as I would were it my own enterprise.
CONDITIONS OF ELECTION
Be that as it may, the Jayhawker this year is in a bad hole, and it is now up to me to get out the best possible way. At a special election held last fall it was voted that the class take over the book, that it receive any profits and make good any deficiency. I was elected with that understanding.
CONDITIONS OF ELECTION
However let me say in my own defense, that I did not, intentionally, recklessly assume the task because I felt the class was behind me. I simply used poor judgment in estimating the cost of the book which we planned to put out. I estimated $4,000. It was nearer $5,000. Now, however, since the class would have faced such a big price that would have accrued had I made mistakes in their favor, I feel that I must call upon the members of this class, distasteful as it is, to make good the deficiency.
AUDIT ACCOUNTS COMPLETE
I propose that the senior class finance committee and the secretary and purchasing agent of the University audit my accounts. If I have not satisfactorily accounted for every dollar taken in, I will do so then. If any of my expenditures are not taxable, I will pay my personal account. After the books have been satisfactorily audited then let the committee or committees levy an assessment that will meet the deficit at that time. The University, I believe, may be willing to aid us in some material way. I personally will pay $50 of the deficiency and Mr. Cannon will pay $50 more. If the members of the class accede 'to' such a proposition, one which was accepted at a class election last fall, well and good; if not I will do whatever I am able and seems best.
Finally let me say that Carl Cannon is in no way responsible for the state of affairs which I have brought to my attention. It has been extremely interested in the
outcome of the book and has never urged that we take any chances of overstepping our financial limit. While I hold myself entirely responsible, Mr. Cannon desires to equal the responsibility I feel able to apply to the deficiency.
No one deplores the present condition of affairs more than Mr. Cannon and myself. We have put in many times the number of hours, one never connected with such a publication would ever imagine necessary. We believe that we have put out a book of which most of you are proud. We know that we have put out a book much better than the present condition. The manager has made the mistake which should not, but no doubt will, detract from the excellent work of the editor and his staff.
Below I submit to you an account of the total liabilities and the total assets based on the assumption of all the books being sold. All the books probably will not be sold and consequently when turned over to the University at a reduced figure will increase the deficit to some extent.

Books sold University. . . . . . . . . . . . 271.28
Total assets. . . . $4,111.75
Deficit. . . . . . . . . $529.37
The discount which has been deducted is what I feel may be deduced from the bill of the engravers on account of the work and which necessitated extra expenses on the printing contract.
The firms with which we have done business have been very "square" with us and we feel that we should reciprocate as far as possible. The editor and myself are unable to meet the deficiency out of our own pockets, something we would gladly do was it within our reach. The class and the University have been the principal beneficiaries of the mistakes that were made. Will the class carry out the platform it adopted early in the year or are our mistakes greater than were contemplated at 'hair time?'
SENIORS MEET TOMORROW
(Signed). CLARK A WALLACE.
The members of the senior class will hold an important business meeting at twelve o'clock tomorrow morning in chapel. Business relative to the finances of the Jayhawker will be discussed. All members of the class are urged to be present at this meeting.

MEN'S COUNCIL JOINS PURE FOOD MOVEMENT
Will Investigate Sanitary Conditions and Prices Charged at Boarding Clubs
At the first meeting of the new Men's Student Council held in Myers Ha.. Sunday afternoon, it was decided that an investigation of the conditions at various boarding houses and the prices charged should be made, and if possible, to better both.
The advisability of continuing the management of the Jayhawk on the same basis that it was run this year was discussed, and a committee composed of Milton Minor, chairman, Charles Sturland and Ace Wilbur appointed investigator to position, and if necessary to devise some jw scheme.
An active campaign for the new Student's Union building will be begin at once, and as much work as possible will be done during the summer.
$5 IS NEW PRICE OF STUDENT TICKETS
This Action Taken Saturday by Old Student Enterprise Association
MAKE PURCHASE COMPULSORY
Athletic Association Needs More
Money on Account of Removal of Missouri Game From K. C.
Student Enterprise tickets will cost the students five instead of three dollars next year. The action raising the price of the student activity ticket-books was taken Saturday afternoon at the meeting of the representatives of the several organizations, members of the Student Enterprise Association, and the Student Councils.
The meeting was held in room 116 Fraser hall. The motion to raise the price of the tickets was passed unanimously.
Efforts are being made to make the purchase of the tickets on the part of the students compulsory, but as yet no way in which to require their purchase has been found. Next fall at registration an effort will be made to procure all necessary matriculate or register at the office to buy one of the activity books.
The price of the ticket was increased to provide more funds for the Athletic Association, which found itself forced to get along on less than 10 percent of its account of the removal of the Missouri football game from Kansas City.
Representatives of all the organizations that are members of the Association were present at the meeting Saturday afternoon with the exception of the Mandolin Club, the Glee Club, and the Orchestra.
PROFESSOR EDITS HISTORY OF KANSAS
Dean Blackmar Brings Out Two Volume Work on State Development
The history of Kansas which Dr. F. W. Blackmar, professor of sociology, has been editing is now coming from the press. It consists of two quarto volumes of 1900 pages with a supplementary volume of biography. It covers the whole political, industrial, financial and institutional development of the state. It has been the aim of the editor to put the salient facts found in this book to the public for accessible form. For this purpose the book has been put in cyclopedia form.
As stated in the editor's introduction: "It would be almost impossible to make such a history of achievement covering such a wide range of subjects in consecutive narration and at the same time make it usable to those for whom it was intended. For this reason the alphabetical order of topics has been chosen. By this method information on any subject from the administration of a governor or the development of a constitution to an historical incident or the founding of a small town may be obtained with facility. And in the process of research the form it has been necessary to omit all controversies, to avoid all comparison of judgement and relate the simple facts of how it all came about "However, all those who wish to have a consecutive history of political events need only to follow the history of the spearate administrations of the governors from Reeder to Stubbs and they will find a continued history of the political development of Kansas. And if this be supplemented by the perusal of separate articles such as those of the Louisiana Purchase, the Missouri Compromise, the Kansas-Nebraska Bill, Squatter Swopevighte, the development of constitutional conventions, finance measures under their respective titles we may have a history and philosophy of the building of the state."
W. Cannon of San Diego, is visitin his son Carl a senior in the College.
MOSSE TO COACH
NEXT JAYHAWKER
FOOTBALL TEAM
Position Accepted by Old Grad After Consultation With Chancellor
SHERWIN WILL RETURN HOME
Receives Good Offer From Home Town—New Appointment Must be Confirmed by Board of Regents
Arthur St. Leger Mosse will probably be the head coach of the football team next year according to the result of a consultation between Chancellor Strong and Coach Mosse in the office of the Chancellor this morning.
The Chancellor is said to have asked Mr. Mosse if he would accept the position as head coach and Mr. Mosse announced that he would take the offer and confer with Manager Hamilton at an early date concerning the appointment of an assistant. Mr. Mosse's appointment must be confirmed at the meeting of the Board of Regents this spring.
Ralph Sherwin, former coach of the football and baseball teams, filed his resignation at the office of the Chancellor late Friday afternoon, announcing to his friends that he intended to go to the game. He would be in his home town, Fitchburg, Mass.
Coach Sherwin's resignation will come to the students not altogether unexpected. He stated before he accepted the offer of coach of the Jayhawkers that he did not intend to make athletic coaching his life work and that his return to the east where he expected to find a job was necessary determination to leave the coaching work at an earlier date than contemplated when he first came to Kansas.
Coach Mosse will return as a graduate to coach the team on which he used to play and which he aided in coaching several years ago. He aided in placing the ever-victorious team of 1908 upon the field and the team of the following year that lost only one game of the entire season, the Missouri game, by a score of 12 to 6.
SHERWIN RETURNS TO HOME
TOWN IN MASSACHUSETTS*
Coach Sherwin lays down the profession of athletic coach to take up a business career. "I have had an attractive offer from my home town, Fitchburg, Mass., and will go into the insurance business there," he said this morning.
"I wish to express my appreciation
RALPH SHERWIN,
Who resigned Friday as head coach of the football and baseball teams.
of the courtesy with which I have been treated in my year at Kansas. I have been helped in my work in every possible way. I shall take with me some very pleasant memories of the University and I shall follow the University's career athletically and scholastically next year with great interest."
