THE KANSAN.
VOLUME II.
IN DOUBT
POLITICIANS RETICENT---AT 5 O'CLOCK 1011 VOTES CAST.
Much Scratching Being Done== The Girls' Vote Is Not Heavy.
The Kansan office in the basement of Fraser Hall was the center towards which all lines converged today. All day the hall outside was filled with bunches of politicians telling the uninitiated where to make the crosses.
Wilford Kepner said, "C.E. Brookins will be elected by the largest majority, Charley Hoffman will be second. The board will be Meyers, Hoffman, Young and McCarty."
The politicians were in doubt, with such a large vote they could not predict the result. John Winter Blood, one of the managers of the representative side said, "it is going to be a split election. Carl Young is going to have the largest majority, Stanley Meyers will be second." Glenn Parker of the Reformers said, that Blood had it figured correctly.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 18, 1905.
Paul Neff said, "two Representative and two Reforms will be elected. I should not be surprised if they are Young, Pingry; Hoffman, and Meyers."
Chester Leinbach said,"Douglas will be elected Vice President, McCarty, and Meyers are the only reformers that will get there."
Karl Humphrey, and Harry Hart, when interviewed said. "We are not making any rash predictions but you can depend that the Representative candidates will be there, when the votes are added up."
Senator Martin Elected.
C. L. Martin of Ft. Scott, state senator from the 8th district, was elected president of the junior law class today. Mr. Martin has taught school for eight years, was clerk of the district court for four years, and major in the 20th Kansas regiment in the Philippines
The other officers elected were, vice president, J. H. Cohen, secretary, Miss Womer, treasurer, Blackmar, and sergeant at arms, Wallace.
Snow Elects Members
The membership committee of Snow literary society has voted in the following new members: Misses Huntsinger, Garrett, and Ellis, and Messers Draper and Lindsey. This brings Snow's membership up to thirty-five, with a large number of applications for membership on file.
The society went out to Cemetery Hill, east of town, on its annual fall "go", last Saturday afternoon.
Will Lecture.
Lectures on journalism will be given every Friday morning before the newspaper students. Among those expected are: Frank Jarell, F. P. McLennan, editor of the Topeka State Journal, J. E. Junkin of Sterling, Capt. Henry M. King of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, E. L. Schuman of the Chicago Record-Herald, and Jacob Riis.
C. S. Hall, city editor of the Lawrence Journal will speak to the class Friday at 11:15 o'clock on, "How to Get Local News."
In Basket Ball.
The work of the basket ball team is all that can be expected for this time of the year. Captain Miller will play guard with Barlow or Winnagle. Siler is trying for center and will be the swiftest player that K. U. has ever had for that position. Davis is doing well at forward and whenever he gets the ball with an open throw, a goal is on the way. If Bliss gets in good condition he will make a fast forward. McCune, Allen, and Russel and a score of freshmen are capable of playing very fast ball.
Have Cider and Sandwiches.
The sophomore class held their annual spread in the gymnasium Saturday evening, October 14. The crowd that gathered at first was unusually small, but by the time the dancing began, the floor was well filled. Before supper was served, the girls present formed a receiving line down which the boys had to pass. It is hinted that the numerous jugs of cider present accounted for the extreme good nature and jollity of the crowd.
To Have Pin.
The civil engineers held their semi-monthly meeting yesterday afternoon. The question of a society pin was discussed and a committee instructed to submit the two most favored designs to jewlers for rates. An official engineer's pin will probably be chosen at the next session. The interesting feature of the program was an "experience meeting" in which the boys told their trials and troubles of their summer's work.
The Athenian Senate held an opening meeting Thursday night, the principal feature being a talk by Dr. Burdick of the Law School. The Senate has about twenty five active members and half as many promising candidates.
GREAT GAME SATURDAY.
Senate Meeting.
Team Is in Fine Condition--Rooting Will Be Necessary.
The greatest game of foot-ball on McCook, will come next Saturday, with the boys from Oklahoma. Benny Owens, the quarterback of Yost's "ever victorious" team, is coaching them and will leave no stone unturned to give his alma mater a sound truncating. Coach Kennedy has said all season, that Oklahoma would be a formidable opponent and this belief was strengthened consideratly when the Indians went down to defeat at their hand last Saturday by the score of 18 to 12. It is generally concluded that the aborigines do not have the good team of last year but they play good ball and the comparative easiness with which they were defeated Saturday, shows that Kansas will have to work hard to win.
NUMBER 12
Yesterday evening, the 'Varsity lined up against Shorty's freshmen and demonstrated the fact that the Oklahomaans will have to hurry to pierce the strong defensive playing in the line. The swift back field of '09 which conpares favorably with the 'Varsity's could make little gain and were often thrown back for a loss. Their own defence crumbled before the attacks of the big fellows and in a short time the veterans had crossed the goal line. With the exception of Rouse and Myers, who will probably be out of the game Saturday, Kansas will be in fine condition and with proper rooting will hold back the territory boys from a touchdown.
Brunner, the star tackle, will quite likely play fullback Saturday. He hits the line low and is a "stone wall" interference. Donald will get into the tackle back plays as usual and it will take a strong team to stand the line plunges of these heavy men. Coach Kennedy is saving Rouse for the Colorado game, and his position at left end is being cared for by Burt in a very creditable manner.
Everyone should come prepared to yell on Saturday. It will be remembered that the good "rooting" had much to do with the fine showing of Kansas in the Nebraska game two years ago, and the Oklahoma game will be an opportunity to demonstrate that school spirit is not entirely dead.
OKLAHOMA vs. KANSAS Saturday, October 21.
Season tickets admit; seats on south bleachers 25 cents; on north bleachers,10 cents; gate admission 50 cents.
ROOTERS MEET IN CHAPEL, 4:30 FRIDAY, TO PRACTICE YELLS. BAND WILL BE OUT
COMMONS HERE.
Economist is Lecturing on Labor Problems.
Professor John R. Commons of the economics department of Wisconsin University, delivered the third of a series of ten lectures on the labor problem in the Law lecture room this morning. The lectures are given each day at 11:15 in connection with the University course in trade unionism.
In his opening lecture Monday, Professor Commons discussed the question in a general way, giving the statistics and the objects of labor organizations.
In his opening lecture Monday, Professor Cummins discussed the question in a general way, giving the status and the objects of labor organizations. He maintains that labor unions represent what on a larger scale would be insurrection, but entertains the idea that in the evolutionary progress of its organization the lawless features will be eliminated. The second and third lectures were devoted to a discussion of the union as it exists in the stove industry, and the remaining ones of the series will be devoted largely to specific investigation of individual industries.
To Have Training Table.
A freshman training table has been established at the Steele club. The steward, A. W. Dodge, says that the very best of food will be fnrnished, as nearly like that given at the Varsity table as possible. "Shorty" Hamil may however make some changes as he has his own ideas as to how a team should be fed. The team will go on the table as soon as arrangements can be completed. Captain Veatch said that he had 18 men who were willing to pay $3.00 per week to be together.
To Deposit $3.50.
The managers of the senior annual and play have decided that under the new system it will be necessary to ask for a deposit of $3.50 from each member of the senior class in order to guard against loss. This deposit will pay for the cut that will appear in the annual, the annual itself and a senior play ticket. This seems to be a very reasonable proposition and it is hoped the seniors will avail themselves of the opportunity to help the managers to get things started.
To Give Spread.
The freshman class will give its first spread in Snow Hall Saturday evening, October 21, at 6:30 o'clock prompt. The committees are working hard to make this one of the most pleasant and enjoyable affairs of the season. Dancing will follow in the gym immediately after the supper. All '09ers should come out.
