TUESDAY, FEB. 1, 1910.
To hear the roar that is going up in certain quarters concerning the stories of the alleged existence of the T. N. E. fraternity at the University, one would be led to believe that there are some members of the frat in this school. No one has any reason to complain unless he is a member of T. N. E.—and then his reasons are rather meager. If T. N. E. does not exist then there is no one to defend the fraternity and hence no one to get angry at any stories that may be printed.
Of all the Kansas rooters William Allen White and J. Willis Gleed seem to have taken last Thanksgiving's defeat the hardest. They are so far the only ones who have suggested the abolition of the game as the only way to keep Missouri from Defeating Kansas, say once every seven years. If the two regenets will only have patience until next Turkey day Kansas will drub Misouri so thoroughly that they will want to keep the game forever.
The action of the regents in attempting to abolish football has, at least, opened up a political issue. If some candidate should announce himself for governor, and promise, if elected, to fill up vacancies on the Board of Regents with Coach Kennedy, "Shorty" Hammil, "Tub" Reed, Prentiss Donald, Bert Pooler, and Al Hicks, he would carry the "sporting" vote almost to a man. All prospective candidates please copy and ponder this.
Regent Gleed says that it is not in the province of the University to develop prize-fighters. We take it that he is not interested in bringing the heavyweight championship back to the white race.
Professor Harger Spoke.
Professor C. M. Harger of the department of journalism, made an address at the celebration of the Kansas Day club of Denver Col., Saturday evening. The banquet was held at the Aud' orium hotel. The reunion was one of the most enthusiastic and successful ever held by the Kansas colony in Denver.
Baseball training has begun at California University. Practice games are to be played three times a week.
KICK COLMUN.
To the Editor of the Kansan.
While at the senior class party last Friday evening I was strongly reminded of the "dear old farm" with its various ruminants. This reminence was revived by the sight of several of our young "ladies" vigorously kneading a wad of gum between their pearly teeth. After the dance many couples went to one of the near-by cafes. Several had been served and were eating when one young "gentleman" who had not been so fortunate proceeded to enjoy (?) himself by smoking a cigarette while seated at the table. Perhaps a course in social etiquette would be of greater benefit to some of our' 'students' than geology, botany or some similar subject. I ask your indulgence in the promiseenous use of the words ladies, gentlemen, and student in the above.
A KNOCKER.
IN NEW QUARTERS.
University Instrument Maker Now in Fowler Shops.
C. W. White, the University instrument maker, who has previously occupied a room in the basement of Blake hall, is now installed in the tower room of Fowler shops. Several instruments such as a lathe, an upright drill and motor have been placed in the room to assist him in his work. Besides doing particular repair work in wood, metal and electrical instruments, Mr. White also makes instruments for demonstration work in physics.

THE REGENTS AND I GAME
It came to pass, one wintry day,
There must in Lawrence town
The Board of Regents. Stern were they,
And gloomily did frown.
First up spake William Allen White.
He of Emporia town,
Said he "This football game is fierce.
He of Emporia town,
We ought to put it down.
We ought to put it. Why, I once knew a man who knew
A boy who had a friend.
Whose cousin broke his leg there-
by:
I're really ought to end.
Some time some one might get hurt here:
It really ought to end.
A boy who had a friend,
It might occur some day;
Come, brothers! let us put it down
'Well said! well said!" the re-
cords eried
Let's do it right away."
"Such games ought not to be."
Then there arose J.Willis Gleed—
"Bill Allen's right," cried he;
"I know of a sad incident.
That in my hearth doth rankle
My office boy's small brother once
In that way sprained his ankle," "Terrible! Terrible!" cried the Board,
And swayed in mute despair. While William Allen paced the room,
And tore his scanty hair.
"And shall we raise up pugilists? Nay, nay," quoth Willis Gleed.
More Enots of Harvard Is Kansas' crying need.
Let's down these brutal tendencies That threaten our fair school ;
Let's make them intellectual,
And let Minerva rule.
O brethren, it would be.
Could five-foot shelves be put out.
How beautiful, how beautiful,
how beautiful it would be.
"Beautiful idea, lovely thought," Cedid William Allen White.
Let's star this intellectual dope.
I feel thirsty we might.
Bill Allen voted with his friend. The others voted my.
By all the 'Varsity."
Let's thrust the fifth game away
'Tis time that football died.
I really think we might.
I make this resolution then.
And thus the brutal game sur vived.
Cited Written Work When
'Let's star this intellectual dope.
And liveeth to this day.
And yet, perhaps, the day will come
J. Willis loudly cried,
And liveth to this day.
When they'll put football on the buye
In some far distant year,
And raise young Eliots here.
The sophomores took charge of the assembly one morning at Oregon University and gave an ap propriate program.
SHELDON AT VESPERS.
Dr. Charles M. Sheldon made a helpful talk at the vesper services Sunday afternoon in regard to meeting the doubts with which some people are troubled. The large crowd present also enjoyed the anthem by the chorus, "Lovely Appears," from Gounod's Redemption.
Tells About Meeting Doubts Troubling Some People.
The vesper chorus meets for practice this week at 7 o'clock on Thursday evening and at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Students who wish to sing in "The Cruelifixion," to be given soon, should join the chorus at once.
ROOMS FITTED UP.
Research Workers Are in Their New Quarters.
The rooms in the basement of the Chemistry building, which were remodeled early in the year for the industrial fellows, have recently been fitted up and are now occupied by the fellows. All kinds of apparatus for research work has been installed. The men who will occupy the rooms are Mr. Mackey, who is working with cement; Mr. Friedot, who is working with borax; Mr. Fague, who is working with cosein, and Mr Tillotson, who is working with glass.
Will Give Concert.
The University orchestra is practicing in preparation for a concert which they intend to give next month. A novel feature of this program will be the rendition of "Miserve," by a quartet of voices with orchestra accompaniment.
Miss Edna Gafford was called to her home in Topeka Saturday by the severe illness of her mother. Later reports say that Mrs. Gaford died Sunday afternoon. Her death was caused by pneumonia.
Given More Honor.
Prof. Morse, head of the violin department in this University, is achieving marked success in his work in Kansas City. He has been asked by Carl Busch, the famous Kansas City composer and publisher, to furnish two numbers on a Norwegian program, which the latter is going to give soon. This is a singular honor for Mr. Morse to be asked to play at this time and shows that he is considered by good musicians to be among the best in Kansas City.
As "Dod Gaston" Sees It.
"The fate of football depends upon the rules committee," says the dispatches. Wrong. The fate of football hangs on the people who pay the money to see the games and there should be some care taken not to "sissyize" it. Topeka Capital.
To Become an Instructor.
J. Wilbur Jones, a senior in the college, withdrew from school today to assume the work of instructor in English in the Kansas City, Kan., high school for the remainder of the year. Mr. Jones has his course in the University in such condition that he expects to secure his degree yet this year at the close of the summer session.
Copy Has Been Sent.
Copy for both the summer session catalog and the regular 1909-1910 catalog was sent to the state printer at Topeka this morning. The former will be given the right of way and should be ready for distribution in about two weeks.
