NAME BUILDING
THE "LAWS" VOTE TO CALL IT "GREEN HALL."
Are Incensed at the Intrusion of College Students--Measures to Expell Them.
At a public meeting of the law school called by President Ford of the senior class on Tuesday it was voted that the new law building should be called "Green Hall."A committee was appointed to wait on the regents at their next meeting and recommend this name. When this matter was disposed of, and the chairman asked if there was anything further to come before the meeting, Art Relihan made a fiery speech in regard to the intrusion of the college students into the "laws'" domains. He said: "This is our building and if we want to keep our furniture nice we must keep them out." The motion met with a hearty response all over the house and a committee was appointed to wait upon the proper authorities in regard to the redress of the juvenile
The dedication of the new law building comes on the 27th of October. It is intended to make it one of the important events of the year.
FRESHIES SURPRISE 'VARSITY
Hold Them Down to 17 Points in Hotly Contested Game.
The Freshman football team lined up against the 'Varsity this afternoon and the hardest fought game of the season, thus far, was the result. No one was more surprised than the 'Varsity at the way the proteges of Coach Hamil held them down to the score of 17-0.
On both sides there was considerable punting, Veach for the freshies doing some sensational work with his foot and the pigskin. Dahleae, Crowell, Matlock, Capt. Cohn, Blade and Fogwell also deserve special mention for good work. Coulter made good at tackle excepting when Pooler got the ball, when fear seemed to seize him.
The Varsity played well together and put a fairly strong game, though they were repeatedly penalized for off-side plays. Both coaches were on the field and took active part in the game at critical moments. We predict that the Kansas freshmen will bring home glory to old K. U. before the season closes.
Lawrence is infected by the most blood thirsty swarm of mosquitoes, right now, that ever rose out of water. A number of students have covered their heads with mosquito bar to keep away the pests.
H. H. Thompson, who attended the University in '91, has returned to Lawrence to live. Mr. Thompson was known by the '91 class, as the "inventor."
WITH THE FRESHMEN.
"Big" Hamil Is Getting His Pupils Ready for the Military Boys.
FRESHMAN SQUAD OF 1905
The Freshman football squad under Coach Hamil is fast rounding into good form, and barring accidents, will be in shape to show the cadets from Wentworth Military Academy some points about the game next Saturday. McShane, Russell, and Cowles are showing star form in line work, the weak place in the squad. Most of the players are experienced in the backfield, and that part will not lack for good men.
The Wentworth team is stronger than for several years, and has been in training since the middle of August. They have the advantage of the freshmen in this, but are somewhat lighter. This will be one of the best games that the freshmen will play. In scrimmage with the 'varsity this afternoon the freshmen made a creditable showing, holding them down in good shape.
Dean McClung of the Medical School stated the other day that an unusually large number of medical students this year are arranging to combine the two years' work done here with the first two years of college work and take the A. B. degree before finishing the medical course. This is only another indication of the present tendency in higher education. Young men are lengthening the time spent in preparation for work. In this age when men of eighty are still at their posts, the man of twenty-five finds himself only a boy in comparison, and is in less of a hurry to be out of college. The time will no doubt come when the college course will be recognized as almost a prerequisite of a technical or professional career.
NEWS OF THE GRIDIRON
Lansdon May Schedule Game with Campbell University for Friday.
The canceling of Saturday's game by Fairmount leaves an open date that may be filled by Campbell University or the Kansas City Athletic Club. Either team may play here Friday in order not to conflict with the Wentwortn-Freshmen game.
The freshmen and first team lined up against each other this evening for the first time.
In a special dispatch from Wichita in one of the Kansas City last Sunday papers, it was alleged that Kansas canceled the game with Fairmount and that the fine condition of the latter's team was one of the reasons for the action of the State University. Manager Lansdon gave the Kansan the following telegram that was received from Frirmount last Saturday.
Wichita, Ks., Sept. 22,'05.
W. C. Lansdon.
Lawrence, Ks.
We cancel Sept. 30.
Roy J. Kirk, Mgr.
No one received any injuries of serious nature in Saturday's game and from now on regular scrimmage with the freshmen will be held.
The following men are now on the training table: Hart, Pooler, Rouse, Donald, Reed, Waring, Myers, and McNaughton. Coach Kennedy is anxious that a rooters' club be formed and help the team to victory with its enthusiasm. An old student remarked the other day that the old time rooting was far superior to that of the present day and it is probably true. A rooters' club with a competent leader should be formed at once.
SENIOR ELECTION.
Political Machine Wrecked. Election Postponed to Give Boss-Busters Time.
The chief feature of the week was the smash up of the senior political machine. This so called machine, according to the boss busters, has dominated class politics ever since '06 entered the University; heretofore it has given the rank and file of the class some recognition and allowed them to believe that each vote was an important factor in the elections. This year, however, "the caucus was too exclusive" as one of the enraged senior coeds says, and trouble commenced to brew toward the end of last week. The death like stillness that always precedes a storm was not noticed with any degree of apprehension by the occupants of the "machine" until last Monday morning when the so called farcical election was to have been held. Clouds were gathering on the horizon, distant murmurings were heard. By noon the elements had done their work and the machine men barely escaped. At the meeting called to order by Acting President Anderson, the boss busters were ready for action. Grant moved that an adjournment be taken until next Monday and convinced by the rousing speeches of Logan and Linbach, the "rank and file" concluded it was the right idea. When the vote was taken the ayes on both sides seemed quite equal and by mutual consent both parties moved to the chapel auditorium, where it was clearly demonstrated by a standing vote, that the boss busters were in the majority. Next Monday, it is presumed that the new ticket will have been nominated and at the present writing it looks as though it would meet with little opposition.
