ASKED TO RESIGN.
KANSAS UNIVERSITY FACULTY COUNCIL WILL ACCEPT WOOD-RUFF'S RESIGNATION.
THE ACTION BY A CLOSE VOTE.
The Resolution Adopted Was the Outcome of the soilding Coach Wood-ruff Gave the Football Team Three Weeks Ago on McCook Field.
Dr. Wylie G. Woodruff, coach of the Kansas university football team, has been asked to resign.
The request comes from the Kansas university faculty council, and is embodied in a resolution adopted at an adjourned meeting held last evening.
The cause of the trouble is the scolding Coach Woodruff publicly gave the team on McCook field a couple of days after the Medic game, in the course of which he roundly scored the players for their slow and fumbling playing. In the course of his remarks on that occasion he swore at the players. This is what caused the trouble. At the time Hamill, Buzzi and Blockberger left the field. Dr. Woodruff afterwards apologized to the players and to Chancellor Snow he submitted a written apology for his display of temper. The apology was accepted by the players, and all returned to their work except Blockberger, who has still refused to come out for practice. The faculty council did not so easily smooth over the matter, however, and their action last night was the result.
The matter has been before the council ever since the occurrence on McCook field. Last Tuesday night at a regular meeting it came up for action. There was a heated debate, but no decision was reached, and the council adjourned to meet again last evening in special session to dispose of the subject. At the Tuesday night meeting three plans were suggested for the disposal of the affair. To accept Woodruff's apology; to disapprove of the contract between him and the athletic association; to remove him as coach.
The plan as adopted last night in the resolution passed expressed strong disapproval of Mr. Woodruff's actions, his violent display of temper and his profane language on the field, and directed Chancellor Snow to inform Mr. Woodruff that his resignation would be accepted by the faculty council, at the earliest date he could give it. This resolution was not adopted till after considerable debate and much heated discussion. It was finally passed by a close vote of seven to six.
While the resolution says the resignation will be accepted at once, it is understood that Dr. Woodruff will coach the team for the remainder of the season, and then quit, though he may decide that the strained relations made greater by this action on the part of the council, will make it best for him to immediately sever his relations with the team.
The news of the action of the council was suppressed by the University authorities, though it leaked out from other sources; and was not known to the members of the football team when approached on the subject this morning. As the boys had not heard of the matter, and had had no time for consultation, they were unable to tell what effect the action would have on the work of the team for the rest of the season — Lawrence Journal.
The first number of the lecture course will be that of the Louise Brehany concert company October 21. This concert will be given at the opera house. There will probably be but one lecture. The remainder of the course will consist of concerts and impersonations. Arrangements are being made with Miss Georgia Brown to make her "School for Scandal" one of the attractions.

Prof. Blackmar Complained.
Mr. George Gunton, in the October number of Gunton's magazine, very able reviews Prof. F. W. Blackmar's paper read before the Kansas State Irrigation society and published in the Kansas University Quarterly.
There are enormous tracts of land in the west which, with proper irrigation, would support here in the United States probably the densest population in the world. This is the ultimate fact of interest now chiefly in setting at rest any bugaboo scare about population outrunning the means of subsistence. The immediate interest of the west in irrigation lies, as we have suggested, more in its social consequences. This view of the subject is well set forth by Prof. F.W. Blackmar, of Kansas university, in a paper contributed to the Kansas university Quarterly. It seems to us a note-worthy and very encouraging thing that one of the clearest analyses of the needs of the west, from a broad scientific standpoint, that has recently appeared should come out of the west itself. There is a sense, however, in which this is not surprising. Probably there is more real serious thinking and study on social and economical questions among the rank and file of the population of the west than in any other section of the country, which is merely another way of saying that despite all the mistaken notions and crazes that have come so far, and will come, the west is in a more hopeful condition as regards the final correction of these problems than is the east. It is more than probable that when the first emotional impulses for any kind of social reform have spent their force, and a broader knowledge takes the place of the superficial trash that has been vended throughout the west as economics and sociology during the last dozen or fifteen years some great and far-reaching movements of genuine social reform will come out of that wonderful alieny beyond the Missi sippi and carry the whole nation up to higher standards of economic, social and civil life. Scattered indications of the saner attitude of the western mind are important just because they denote the trend such an indication (for it is little more, perhaps) is this article by Prof. Blackmar.'

AMUSEMENTS.
"A Bunch of Keys," polished up to date, Hoyt's best satire, still possesses great attraction for the theater-going public. It is essentially an entertainment for the masses, and in that draws the patrons of farce comedy. This rattling façial production bristles with funny situations so closely following upon each other that the audience is in almost a continual peal of laughter until the final fall of the curtain. The songs, dances, and medleys, which form an important item of the play, are entirely new and are nicely rendered. Miss Ada Bothner appears as Teddy. The rest of the company are very evenly balanced and contains some very clever people. Seats on sale at Dick Bros drug store.
The Use of Books.
It is very remarkable and strange how absent minded some students are when reading library books. These books should be objects of general pride. Instead they are fingered and pencil-marked, even pen and ink marked, and the corners of the leaves turned down. The average student when reading a book, takes a delight in finding some particularly good passage, and is able to appreciate it without its being underscored, and the words defined in scrawling pencil marks. Many fine volumes have been rendered absolutely hideous and unsightly by these malpractices. Many of these volumes cannot be replaced at any reasonable price, and some of them not at all. Besides the passages marked are very often an index to the character of the culprit who made them, and in very many cases do not exhibit a particularly desirable one. Another use that books are put to sometimes is by hitting your best friend with them to let him know how much you love him. If you want to demonstrate your affection, use your hands and not a book.
