NUMBER 21
That is the question facing the Mee's Student Council at the present time, the subject being one of such delicacy that it was not possible just last night was treated in confidence.
Representatives of Hill dance bands presented their views on the matter and explained in detail to the members of the council the workings of the proposed agency, at the M.S.C. meeting last night.
Bob Thorpe, chairman of the Forum committee, presented a report of press interviews and tentative plans. He pointed out that the Senate would not be the Board of Regents, no candidate for political office may use University factions during the month preceding election.
Those who voiced opinions on the subject were Lewis Foreman, Louis Kirkpatrick and Michael McCreight. The council decided to postpone its verdict on the matter for further consideration, but arranged for Wednesday to consider the problem.
The date for the regional meeting of Midwestern Colleges and Universities, which will take place here this year, was set for Nov. 12-15 by the councilmen. President John Milton Phillips was authorized to act as general chairman, with power to appoint all committees as are necessary.
The report of the Budget committee was adopted with little discussion. An expenditure of $500 for the forums program was allowed.
A re-draided Itranural bill was read and passed without discussion, following which an amendment to the Forum bill was considered and accepted.
Appropriations of $100 to the "K

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1906
FORUM BOARD UNABLE
TO SPONSOR NORMAN THOMAS
Norman Thomas, candidate for President on the Socialist ticket, is not to speak at the first M.S.C.-W. S.G.A. public forum, as was mistakenly announced in the Kansan of Oct. 7.
The news story was released through an unavoidable misunderstanding. The Forum Board, selected by jointly by the two councils, carefully considered sponsoring an online campaign, but no definite action was taken.
Since that time, a long established ruling of the state Board of Regents has come to the attention of the student board. As a matter of policy, the requests of any and all political candidates for the use of University facilities during the campaign have been declined. In the light of this acknowledged precedent the M.S. College of Business has promoled to senator Mr. Thomas.

Unusual Rush Brings Possibility Of Reserved Seats in the Library
Jitney Players Present 'The Rivals' Here October 22
"Ecky, Ecky, break his necky ... " A famous old college yell that epitomized the football spirit of a bygone era. Our fathers fought on the field, more to bash the skulls and smash the bones of their opponents than to roll up points by means of ingenious, swiftly-working, and beautiful plays. And when one more skull was fractured the spectators frotted with the wild spirit of the arena ... much the same as did the Romans when the lion bit off the head of a defenseless gladiator.
Business has increased so much in the basement of the Watson Library at the reserve desk that Miss Moyer and I will be able to start to leave seats in advance.
Most of the copy for the official student directory is in the hands of the printers, and proof is being read on the greater part of the material. Those in charge of the publication feel that it may be released soon.
It would appear to one observing student that the professors have planed early in the hearts of the student body to help them in their effort toward the reading of the assigner
None of the library's staff is able to explain this phenomenal rise in the reading of magazines and books on reserve. To date no one there has ever suspected that perhaps the members of a library have had something to do with it.
Student Directory Is at Printers
Eckv Is Dead-But Not in Kansas
The student directory includes the names and addresses of all students and members of the faculty in the University in Lawrence and those in the hospital of the School of Medicine in Kansas City, Kans.
But we can't go wild over the Ecky, Ecky stuff any more. Ecky is dead . . . and so is the football strategy he glorified . . . the football strategy still employed by our Varsity team today. Everyone realizes that, except, apparently, the coaches.
A pop rally will precede the departure of the Kansas football squad for Ames, Iowa. Friday at 6:30 a.m., at the Union Pacific depat. This game with Iowa State will be the first out-of-town game for the Jawhawkers.
Bill Township, head cheerleader, and president of the Ku Kus, asks everyone who can possibly do so to attend this rally. Haldey Steiger and Frank Warren will be present to help lead the team. The train leaves at 7 o'clock.
Plan Send-Off For Jayhawk Team Friday Night
Give the student body the new type of game, the open, tricky, fast-running, and passing game. Let the team develop into an aerial circus if necessary. It will not win every game. No one will expect it to. But make the spectators feel that the team, even in defeat, has put on an exhibition of modern football.
Some people think our school spirit is dead. School spirit is not dead, but it's deadly low . . . just as low and as dull as our football games. It is not reasonable to assume that student spirit can get very hot over a pile ofashes . . . ashes that got cold with Ecky many long years ago.
The student body is and always will be more than willing to co-operate, to yell its lungs out of its own voilion ... provided it has something to cooperate with and yoll for.
Potentially, the team this year and any year is as powerful as any in the Big Six. Let the coaches get these archaic, obsolete ideas out of their heads, give us real, honest-to-good advice for them, help them then, will we have back that healthy, roaring school spirit.
Probably no price will be placed on the reserving of seats at the tables in the building where he is to highly advisable for students to notice that seats are going to be as scarce as Democrats at a Republican rally long mid-session. aseep over the campus.

Elliott Roosevelt In Contract Charge
Statement of Russian Agreement Suppressed by Munitions Committee
BULLETIN
Dallas, Texas—Elliott Roosevelt hit back tonight with a threat of legal action against persons responsible for publication of material connecting him with deals for war planes.
Washington, Oct. 6—The Senate Munitions Committee suppressed a foreign statement alleging that Elliott Rose, son of the President, contracted to supply airplanes for the war and sold of airplanes to Russia, because the pact was never fulfilled and public inquiry only would have "succeeded the conspiracy."

At the same time Nye said that he finally had been compelled to make public the text of the all-difvaff awrən to by Anthony Fokker, Dutton airplane manufacturer and self-styled peer of all aircraft salesmen, given details of the purported contract with the President's son in the interest of fairness.
Quick denial of part of the the Fokker affidavit including reference to the planes which were to be sold to Russia as falling in the "military" class came from young Rossevelt in Pft. Stuttgart. It was claimed that the Fokker statement was released by the committee obviously to "smeat my father."
Work Progresses On New Dormitory

The building is to be ready for occupancy next fall, although it will be completed long before then. In connection with his a retaining wall is being constructed east of the buildings. This will allow a fill to be made and a level lawn in front. Stimmons said it will prove the appearance of the property very much.

'Students Not To Blame' 'Phog' Says in Answering Phillips
"In all my 17 years at the University of Kansas I have never found the student body lying down on anything." Dr. F. C. Allen told a Kansas reporter last night. "There is spirit among the students, but it is dormant owing to lack of proper leadership."
Dr. Allen gave out the following statement yesterday afternoon in answer to John Phillips, president of the Men's Student Council:
Russia Serves Notice on Powers To Break Pact Unless Violation by Nations In Spain is Halted
"Certainly there was no desire to condemn students as individuals on account of the lack of student spirit on the campus prior to our first football game with
Moscow, Sept. 7. (UP)—The Soviet government, through its embassy in London, today notified other powers that it will abrogate the pact for non-intervention in the Spanish revolution and act as Russia sees fit without violations by Portugal, Germany and Italy are halted immediately.
Russian sympathies are strong for the Madrid Socialist.Communist government. The note was interpreted as a direct warning that Russia will and Spanish loyalists unless aid alleged by Germany rebels by Fascist nations is stopped.
The note will be presented to a session of the International Committee for Non-Intervention in Spain which meets Friday.
Genova, Sept. 7. —(UP)—Dipolitic circles reported tonight that Russia was ready to rush airplanes and other war materials to Spanish government forces unless alleged violation of the non-in-vention protection ceases.
It was argued also that France and Great Britain will not permit Russia to further menace the equilibrium of Europe.
Rome, Sept. 7 — (UP)—The Soviet note regarding Spanish intervention was received here too late for official comment, but informed persons professed to interpret it as an implicit confession of a condition is getting more precarious.
Berlin, Sept. 7—(UP) - Russia's note regarding intervention in the Spanish civil war was considered, in political quarters here, as confirming the German victory over the French, who would make a European war in order to spread Bolshevism throughout the continent.
Mail For University Post Office Increasing
R. C. Abraham, University postmaster, reports that the volume of mail is increasing daily. This is the result of a nearly two-third past years. Monday, Wednesday and Friday are the heavy days as most students send their landry home on
Mr. Abraham states that relatively few students send written matter in their laundry bags this year. However, there have been a few cases. Warnings are sent to those who ignore postal mail because it usually puts a step to the infraction.

Washburn. Certainly it was lack of organization all along the line that gave a most drab aspect to school spirit on the campus this year.
"On Saturday morning of the Wash-
burn game even the cheer leaders had
not been outfitted with their sweaters.
"The failure to have the freshman mops on time; the failure to have the nightshift parade, which nine times out of ten has always been held on the opening game of the season rather than the competition games, is conclusive in itself.
"Over three hundred students arrived at the stadium after game time, when it was known that all home contests start promptly at 2 o'clock.
"Football is an occasion as well as a
ame. The national anthem, the raising
f the flag, the students with their massed
heering, as well as the players in com-
action, are things that people go to
to game for.
"Unless we have the liaison perfectly working between all extra-curricular activities, we fail to produce the colorful pageantry that combines the fine outdoor, wholesome rivalry between two colleges.
To insure a definite working link we have appointed the "K" men to organize, deputize, and supervise these game activities. The "K" men of course, will work with the players in low's job, but they will work with the director of the band, the Men's Student Council, the man on the public address system, the Jane James, the Ku Ku's and the cheer leaders, so that in the future the organization will be well correlated, working organization

these men who have won their athletic
letters in all sports, should be the ones
to reflect a wholesome, intelligent athletic
spirit at a football game, which is
steeped in an athletic environment."
