Laws of a school must be obeyed and reverenced just the same as laws of a state. The Thea Nu Epsilon fraternity in continuing its organization and planning a spring party is violating a rule passed by the Board of Regents almost three years ago. The Chancellor is obliged to see that T. N. E is disorganized and discontinued, and any action that he may take in consequence of any continued violation of the members of the fraternity would not only be justified but absolutely necessary. The members of T. N. E may be among the best students and the finest men in the University. That is no excuse, however, and only makes their actions more inexecutable and depreciatory. The regents have decreed that T. N. E may not exist at this University and nearly all, if not all of the fraternities have passed rulings prohibiting their members from joining T. N. E. In spite of this latter fact, several men have forgotten whatever fealty and obligation they owe to their fraternities and have violated their fraternity ruling and joined T. N. E.. Besides being a law-breaker such a man shows that he has no proper appreciation of his fraternity and the spirit it is supposed to represent. No good fraternity man would disobey the rule of his fraternity and join T. N. E. The formation of the medical society among the students of the Medical School will add considerably to the strength of that department of University work. The Medical School is now being firmly established and put in a position to develop in the healthiest way. The requirement of two years of college work of medical students proved a slight setback to the medical enrollment. This was expected, but it will be only a few years until the school has regained its lost attendance, with a great addition in the quality of the students. The medical society will further prepare students for their profession by informing them on questions that are ordinarily not brought up in the classroom. A medical society is an important part of all good medical schools. The Regents of the University will abolish football unless the conference of the governing boards of Missouri Valley Conference schools modifies the game so that it will be less dangerous. If these are the only terms upon which the game can be kept itsuture looks bad. About the suriest way to do nothing at all but talk is to hold a conference. KICK COLUMN. Editor Kansan: The diligent student in the library has many trials and tribulations. To begin with not enough attention is given by the attendants to the lighting and ventilation of the building. The library is supposed to close at 6 o'clock each evening; although there is much to be said for keeping it open during the supper hour. Despite the fact that the student should be allowed to study until he is disturbed about 5:30 by the noise of the janitor closing the windows. Then at 5:45 a whistle is blown and the student is expected to close his book and depart, thus losing a few minutes from his studies each day. If the attendants in the library could understand that a little inconvenience to them would result in greater convenience to the entire student body a few beneficial changes might be made. Professor Boodin in Topeka. Prof. J. E. Boodin went to Topeka today to speak on "The Citizen's Duty to the Municipality," at a meeting of the city federation to be held there this evening. This is an organization of ladies, but the husbands of the members are invited to this special meeting. To Lecture Tonight.

Michigan Daily: Murder will out. It always comes to light. Much murder will out tomorrow morning, when the January number of the Gargoyle goes on sale at the book stores and news stands. Kicks and knives and naughty words and prisons and blood figure strongly in the fiction of the present issue. The editors laid no plans for a ghoulish number. First came one yarn which terminated in the violent death of a character. Then came a poem on the joy of shoving a knife between human ribs and prodding viciously. After that, the editors were presented with a bit of fiction dealing with a novel stabbing affair. Finally the humorist came near killing a character. On surveying their material, the management found that there was nothing to do but to let blood drip and shivers ran throughout the entire issue. DEADLY GREEN INK. Or Was It Notebooks That Made a Professor Ill. "It may sound funny, but it's no joke," said he. "Anyway, as soon as I can get about again, I'm going to try some green ink on the cat." He expects to be on the hill again by Friday. ALUMNUS MAKES PRESENT. Prof. R. D. Landrum is spending quiz week in bed at his home, 940 Maine street. Late Saturday night he was grading chemistry II note books with his famous green ink when his fountain pen went on a strike. He sucked it to start it working again, and got some of the ink in his mouth. Whether it was the fault of the ink, or of the despondency caused by the terrible note books, Professor Landrum is unable to say, but since that time he has been confined to his bed. C. Dallas Hanna of Kansas City Kan., who was graduated from the College last spring, has received an appointment to a position connected with the Smithsohn Institute. He is now in Wash inton, D. C., but will leave in June for the government vessel "Albatross," which will cruise in Pacific waters in search of specimens and will stop at Japan. Hanna Gets Appointment.

Blackmar went to Wichita Tuesday evening to visit schools in connection with the work of the University committee which visits the colleges of the state some time during each school year. Sidney Prentice Gave Valuable Cast to University. The natural history museum has just received a plaster of paris model of the Tricerataps, a 3 horned herbivorous Dinosaur, an extinct reptile monster of Western America. Sydney Prentice [69], who is now doing all the drawing for the Carnegie Museum of Pittsburg, Pa., has remembered his Alna Mater by making and presenting this model to the University The model is 2 feet 2 inches long, eight inches of which is the skull, and 11 inches high, this being about one-tenth the size of the original. It is colored with an inconspicuous olive green tinge. The base on which the model sets is 3 feet long by 1 foot wide. An original skull of the Dinosan is now in the museum. It is 6 feet, 6 inches long. The estimated length of it is about 25 feet. Remains have been found in thearamie-cretaceous district of Oklahoma and Wyoming. The following descriptive label accompanied the model: "A cast of the original model made and exhibited in the Carnegie Museum of Pittsburg, Pa., presented to the University of Kansas by Sidney Prentice, with permission of Dr. W. J. Holland, Director of the Carnegie Museum." AMERICAN GETS HONORS. Henry Van Dyke a Fellow of Royal Society.

Word From Illinois. The Topeka Capital for this morning contained a story under an Urbana date line which was some surprise to the local athletic management. According to this story the Illinois University football schedule will close next season with a game with Kansas. Manager Laudson when shown this story said he had not heard of it, but would like to have some notice of it officially before he dedided to give them a date. Scalded His Foot.
