TO AWARD SIXTEEN "K'S."
Five Substitutes Recommended for Plain Sweaters.
The athletic board met Monday noon and accepted the report of the foootball "K" committee. Prof. J. N. Van der Vries as chairman of the committee recommended that the following men be awarded the honored letter: Donald, Brunner, Reed, Rouse, White, Heinzman, Strickler, Hart, Angney, Miller, Waring, Pooler, McNaughton, Meyers, Burt, and Milton. The names of Pingrey, Wilson, Root, Ahlborn, Brawley, were recommended to receive sweaters for their good work as reserves. Owing to the fact that all suits and training table board bills are not yet paid, the athletic board did not take final action on the matter.
A matter in regard to granting the freshman men numerals and jerseys was brought up but not acted upon. The eligibility committee was empowered to take final action upon the eligibility of the basket ball men before their initial game this week.
On The Democrats.
The Democrats of the University have planned an elaborate program to be given on December 16. The University wit saw the program pinned on the law school bulletin board and proceeded to have some fun. When he had finished, it read as follows: Outlook for Democratic success in Kansas. (Poor) Chances for Democratic victory in 1908. (Mighty Blue). Prominent Democrats of to-day. (Minus Quantity). Influence of Roosevelt's great victory of 1904 upon the Democrat party. (Killed it). What the Democrats of K.U.may do for the party. (Nothing).

CAPTAIN DONALD
The Y. W. C. A. County Fair at Nebraska last week cleared $280.
THE LA HARPE BOY SELECTED ON THE FIRST BALLOT.
It Was in Doubt Until the Last Minute. Neither Brunner nor Donald Present.
C. Prentis Donald, the star tackle of the Kansas eleven, was elected captain for the 1906 season yesterday. When the members of the squad met in the manager's office, everyone knew that the two candidates would make a close race, but Donald was conceded to have the better of the race. On an informal ballot taken before the election, the vote stood 11 for Donald and 9 for Brunner. On the first ballot, Donald was elected by a vote of 13 to 7. The election leaves the two men as good friends as before, and the best of feeling prevails.
NUMBER 27
The new captain is one of the best players in the country. If he had a chance he could hold his own with any of the star players in the East. Weighing over 210 with every ounce brawn and muscle, it takes half of an opposing team to stop him when he gets started. At Kansas City on Thanksgiving, he made his distance with or without interference, although the Tigers would be hanging on three and four at a time.
Donald made his reputation against Nebraska two years ago in the game that Nebraska almost lost. He made almost all of the gains and by his work Kansas was able to advance the ball more than twice the distance of the Cornhuskers.
"An American Citizen"
Dramatic Club will give its sixth annual play on Wednesday, December 20, at the Bowersock Opera House.
Tickets on sale Monday morning.

TO DEBATE BAKER.
The solid vote of the law school clubs and Snow Literary decided the question of a Baker debate in the affirmative this afternoon. The faculty members of the council were not present. The debate will probably be held here some time in April.
Professor J. E. Boodin resumed his lectures before the Psychology classes today after a week's illness.
WILL PUBLISH GERMAN BUL- LETIN.
University Department will Send It to High School Students. Will Entertain Students Next Spring.
Professor E. F. Engel of the German department is preparing to issue a German bulletin soon after the holidays, a copy of which will be sent free to every high school student of German in the state. In the first number will be printed a tabulated list of all the high schools offering work in German, together with the amount of work done, and the number of students in each. The bulletin will be a four page folder, and, if the University will support it, will be issued quarterly by the department. This is only a part of the plans of the department to get in touch with the German work in the high schools, in order that work of a uniform quality will be offered for entrance.
Next spring at the time of the conference of high school principals here in April, the department will give a special entertainment to which all second and third year German students in the state will be invited. The program will consist of the play by Beurdix, "Die Lurgnerin" besides songs by the German chorus. The cast of the play is about filled, and rehearsals will begin soon after vacation.
Betas Make Hit.
The Beta "Hoop a La" chorus proved to be the great "hit" at the County Fair. 600 persons enjoyed the chorus. Not many of the spectators knew that the handsome girls were really boys until they began to sing, and then the "cat was out of the bag." Prima Donna Anderson was plainly the star of the cast.
The Daily Nebraskan coincides with the Kansan's "All Missouri valley team" with the exception of fullback, which it gives to Mason, the Nebraskan, instead of Roberts of Colorado. "As to the rest of the makeup of this 'All Missouri Valley eleven' we could suggest no changes that would better the lineup," says the Nebraskan.
Sophomore Party.
The sophomores will give the first of their series of parties in Fraternal Aid hall on next Saturday night. Everyone in the University is cordially invited. Tickets may be procured of Rex Singleton for 75 cents.
Prof. C. E. Hubach has arranged for some of the most popular Christmas music for the Vesper service, Sunday. Mr. Hutchinson, pastor of the Baptist church will deliver a short address.
