TUESDAY, JAN. 18, 1910.
The class parties this year have been poorly attended, and every one of the classes have lost money on the parties they have given. Some of them are in debt as a result. The students of the University go to parties just as much, even more than they ever did. But for some reason they do not largely attend class parties. Downtown "promoters" and students wishing to raise some spare change have been quite active in the party line this winter. Almost every week there is a party by down town people attended by University students. As a result the class parties are not money-making propositions. The students should remember that the money they spend for a party with a down town proprietor or a student speculator goes forever into their pockets. The students never get any further benefit from the money so spent. It does not help make a better Junior Prom., a better Sophomore, or a better senior class day. Money spent at class parties confers later benefits to the party goers. The financial existence of the classes depends upon the success of class parties. If the parties do not pay it only means that the class must lessen its activity or else assess the members of the class. An assessment forces the students to pay out again the money they have spent on parties,—because the money never found its way into the class coffers.
The production of "Ysbrand" last Friday and Saturday night, was a success from any point of view. The University did a great thing when it produced the Dutch play for the first time in the English language. The students of the University and the people of Lawrence appreciated the play and the problem that it involved. "Ysbrand" was not written for the purpose of entertaining audiences. Its object was to make people think. Such plays are not very often a success. People want entertainment. It speaks well for the students and townpeople that they could appreciate the play.
The Journalism conference tomorrow for the benefit of teachers in the modern schools of journalism only shows how fast the trend toward the universal establishment of schools for the training of newspaper men is progressing. In a few years schools
of journalism will be a part of the curricula of all universities.
A writer for the Kiek Column suggests the pillory for students who leave the library door open in cold weather. We wonder what punishment Old Blue Laws would suggest for those irresponsibles who wantonly and continually steal reference books?
Harry Kemp, bard, philosopher master tramp, boat hand, and dairyman, has now added another chapter to his book of achievement. It is now Harry Kemp, the psychical actor.
And to think that last season Washington was the most formidable opponent that Kansas had to meet.
Former Student Was Robbed.
Waterman's new self-filler Fountain Pen, at Boyles'. This is the very perfection in a self-filer. Let us show you. Boyles, 725 Massachusetts street.
Among the students who lost heavily when robbers went through Welch hall, one of the dormitories of Yale University, last week, was J. Minott Mulford, of Kansas City. Mr. Mulford was a student at the University year before last, and was a member of the Scoop club. The rooms at Yale occupied by Mr. Mulford and his roommate were robbed of several gold stickpins, three rings, several valuable shirt studs and $40 in money.

Professor Hubach Would Like a Large Vesper Chorus.
WANTS MORE SINGERS.
Prof. C. E. Hubach desires still more singers to join the vesper chorus. He finds that some people have the erroneous idea that a fee is required of the members of the chorus. He wishes to correct this idea and urges more of the students who sing to join the present numbers.
Professor Hubach plans to make the Sunday afternoon service increasingly pleasing to all who attend. He expects to have students and townspeople hear the best music. The chorus is now practicing on "The Crucifixion," by Stainer, which will be given at the next fall musical service.
LONG CHAPEL TOMORROW
Arthur Brisbane, Noted Journal ist of New York, Will Talk.
Mr. Arthur Brisbane, editor of the "New York American," is scheduled to talk in the chapel Wednesday morning. The long chapel of the week will thus come on Wednesday instead of Friday. Mr. Brisbane is the editorial writer for all the Hearst papers and is one of the highest salaried journalist in America.
C. L. Edson, in Kansas City Times: Generations have been working on these jokes. Here they are all together, the chain is complete at last: A dumb man picked up a hub and spoke. A blind carpenter reached for his plane and saw. A deaf sheepman went out with his dog and heard. A paralyzed man touched a hat made of cloth and felt. A man who had lost his sense of odor, caught some herring and smelt.
The Chain Is Completed.
Art Club Organized.
The Fine Arts of the studio organized on Wednesday an art club. The following officers were elected: President, Fern Edie; vice president, Gertrude Rowlands; secretary, Sadie Fisher; treasurer, Mary Myers; critic, Mrs. Umble. The first meeting was held today at the home of Josephine Barkdull.

Article for Encyclopedia of Law
Elementary Law Taxt Book.
Professor Humble of the Law School, spent the greater portion of last summer's vacation in preparing for the American and English Encyclopedia of Law and Practice, an article on "Lis Alibi Pendens," or "Another Suit Pending." To do this it was necessary to examine about two thousand authorities, American, English, Canadian, Alaskan and Hawaiian. A portion of the work was done, of necessity, at the Harvard law library, which is the most exhaustive law library, dealing with the English common law. Professor Humble believes that he has done much to classify the law on this subject and that in no other published writing is the problem of lis alibi pendens properly analyzed, nor so exhaustively treated.
For example, no other published work deals at length with this doctrine as applied to English and British colonial courts.
He is now engaged in preparing a treatise on "Elementary Law," designed primarily to meet the needs of the students in his classes on this subject in the University. He hopes to have the volume for use next fall. Among the features of the work, the following may be mentioned: All treatises on this subject now on the market are either compilations of definitions, devoid of illustrations or, treaties on jurisprudence which assume that the reader is a highly trained specialist in the study of the law, and which use to a great extent, a vocabulary wholly different from that of the bench and bar, as well as a classification, scientific, it is true, but bearing little resemblance to the classification which must be used by him, 'who knows not the law but knows where to find it.' In this new treatise, the author hopes to deal with concepts rather than dry and meaningless definitions, which neither amus nor instruct; and to fill the volume with vivid illustrators which stick in the student's mind and can not be forgotten.
Moreover, he hopes to develop an idea advocated by him in an article in the American Law Review in 1908., namely, that there is a vital connection between economic, political and legal studies, that it is essential, for example. that the student of the law of bills and notes have some idea of the business of banking of the present day. To study the law of bills and notes with only the remotest idea about banks and banking is like the study of the human skeleton with an utter ignorance of muscles and blood vessels.
Now is the time to begin to consider that spring suit. Schultz, the tailor.
