"Education of the Soul" is Subject of Lutkins Speech
tion
Dean of School of Music at Northwestern Gives Address at Convoca.
"Higher learning sometimes fails to reach entirely the education of the soul. The education of the soul lies in two directions. The first concerns morals and conduct—in other words religion. The second concern appreciation of beauty in its highest manifestations—in other words art," said Peter Christian Latik, Dean of the University of Chicago. "Very, very, at concavity this morning, walking on the "Education of the Soul."
Dean Lutkin stated as the fundamental principle which is behind our colleges and universities the remark of Aristotle, "There is a certain education which our sons should receive, not as being practically useful, nor as indispensable, but as liberal and noble." He went on to trace the evolution of the modern university from the 12th and 13th centuries.
"It is my purpose, however, to enlarge upon the second aspect of soul education—the awakening of the inner spirit to the appeal of art, whether that appeal is expressed in language, form, color, or sound.
First Spokes of Literature
"We will first consider the art of literature. It is a thousand pities that so few of our university graduates are consumed with a love of good literature. They seem to do better in England and Canada, for the love of fine reading is certainly an asset they seem more than with us. They seem more successful in implanting the seeds of literary self-development, and is not that, after all, the essential end of education. One has missed a wonderful privilege if the soul has never been made responsive to the fascination of good literature.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, NOV. 17. 1909
"What has architecture meant to the world? Greece without its Acropolis, London without its House of Parliament, Paris without its Notre Dame, Rome without its Coliseum and St. Peters would all lose most essential outward characteristics if these buildings ceased to exist. In this country we are fast learning the value of architectural effects. America suddenly wakened up to the fact that buildings may be of entring beauty as well as of forbidding useless.
Bow to Heroes of the Past
"In painting as in most of the arts we still must bow before the mighty heroes of the past. Their works have lifted countless admirers to a better comprehension of artistic values and to a nobler conception of life itself. An art whose devotees are numbered in thousands among the most cultured peoples of the world may well challenge our attention and regard and awaken in us an arduet desire to know it and to enjoy its ownness.
"We now come to the artistic appeal through the ear—the art of music. The appeal of music as an art is so powerful that its followers cheerfully undergo real hardships rather than forsake its practice. Classical music is much better than it sounds to the uninitiated. Theodore Thomas claimed that the muscoons would love the great classics provided they were well and frequently played.
Art has a spiritual quality that allows us to the soul rather than to the mind. It is one of the comparisons of life that the things of the spirit have not necessarily to do with intellect, but with the ways we seek to seek far to find great architects, sculptors, painters, poets, and musicians whose formal education either in general subjects or their particular specialties, has been most meager. But these are the rare exceptions of artists who have profound and truly traditional skills in any art before we begin to appreciate its magnitude and worth."
Gives Plan of Art Study
As to art instruction in our universities, it should be approached from three points of view: in the heloft of Dean Lutkin. "The first of these concerns the student body, the second those students who are parly interested in some phase of and thereby those who wish to"
and thirty others who will become professionals in some artistic line." He stated that the University

John Stutz Named National Secretary By City Managers
Association Chooses K. U. A.
Permanent Headquarters
For New Office
The secretary of the University Municipal Reference Bureau, John Stuts, was elected secretary of the National Association of City Managers at their convention held in Kansas City last Tuesday.
Herculeso much confusion has resulted from the fact that with each change in the office of secretary, the residence has been changed also. In 1986, a former student selected some place as a permanent residence of the secretary. The University of Kansas was chosen as this place from a number of offers. This location is affiliated with the-sponsored work of the university, Municipal Reference Bureau.
C. M. Fassett, professor of Municipal Government, addressed the convention at a banquet Thursday evening on the subject of "City Charters." He took the place of Dr. A. R. Hattou, of Western Reserve University at Cleveland, who was to have cooked.

Muchacha Chicita Swears Vengeance
San Antonio, Texas, Nov. 16 (U.P.)
"I am going to get the man who
killed my papa." This was the declaration
of Seniorita Iara Murugina, prefee
14-year old daughter of the late
premeal Francisco Murugina, when she
arrived at the hospital on a boat of a pulman car at the outset of a pilin trip, into Mexico.
The sororita, resolving to avenge the death of her father, armed herself with a pistol and with $58 in her purse, left her home here and all but on her way to Mexico where she was discovered and returned.
Shortly after she left, she was missed by relatives, and at the same time it was found out that the money and pistol were gone. Relatives and friends suspecting that the muchacha chichin might have started to Mexico might have been going to sequester the body of General Murga, set out to find her.
She was found crudely in the seat of a Pullman car with her hat coiled down over her flashing, dark eyes.
Colorado Battle to Whet K.U.Taste for Tiger's Meat
Doc Yak and His Pep Pellets Are Reported to be Headed This
Way
Wanted—a cook who knows how to prepare Tiger meat. Apply to the Associated Rooters of Kansas before November 30.
"I am considering inserting the above ad in the papers of the Missouri Valley," declared Vigil Miller today. "A man named Clark is going to present the students of the University with a dead Tiger for Thanksgiving dinner, and we don't know how to cook the animal. There has been some talk of having this tortured beast, but I don't know whether choice Tiger is good that way or not.
Rooters' Section Ends Season
The last appearance of the cheering section will occur tomorrow, the cheerleaders say, and every yell in the knowledge of the rosters will be opening on the invading team from the vest. That the yells are still too fast in their delivery is the only complaint coming from the rooting general. The Rock Chalk and the kicking roster are a little retaliation in the execution.
"We make a special appeal to every student to be present," announced the yell leaders. "According to the papers this morning, the Colorado team is exceptionally fit and ready for the combat, and will be confident of victory when they take on the rangers." The loss of the rosters is liable to be transmitted to the team, and might mean the loss of the game.
"Don't let the approach of Old Man Winter prevent the whetting of the Jayhawk's appetite tomorrow for well-done lizard Thanksgiving."
Doe Yak and Doe Whose Coming
The rumors regarding the approach of Doe Yak are apparently confirmed by the Kauan men who were the Ka'an last night. The doctor was stepped in some town in Mile Sound by the impasibility of the route (he traveled by means of a wagon) and struck his penis with his pep along the road.
Doe Whees, his assistant, and unregional Yak quartet is still in the employ of the doctor, the notice reports. It is reported that the pellets were shot at the patient and it such could possibly be the truth, and that the federal prohibition authorities are unable to understand how the Doc gets away with it. However, these are all more rumors and apparently unfounded reports and the doctors are not convinced by he fee of excitement does not abate soon, or the Doc does not show up.

Iquire Urges Co-operation
Students Should Have Charge of City Affairs
"There should be better cooperation between professors and the business man," said W. G. Snipe, of the Squite Electric Company, Kansas City, Mo., Thursday night in a tall, before the local counter of the Aeromex Engineers. "Mr. Snipe's subject was 'The Engineer as a Business Man.'"
After the talk there was a short social period during which clerid and donghua were served. J. I. Harling, engineer from Kansas City, Houston, engineered from Kansas City, could not be present. The meeting was held in Marvin Hall.
There is also a need to apply the principles of economics, as they are learned, to business and all its difficulties, according to Mr. Squire. In cities in which there are educational institutions, such as the University, the students should have charge of the municipal affairs. They should manage the power plant, water system, and similar enterprises under the supervision of the professors of the institution.

Organizations Wage Fight Against High Charges for Music
Students Discover Musicians Are Paid More Per Hour Than The Chancellor
A meeting was held last night by the house treasurers and social secretaries of the organizations on the Hill, in Fraser Hall to discuss the reduction in the price of dance music. The meeting was presided over by Mark Waggoner, president of the inter-functority council.
Dean Butler was quoted as saying that none of the musicians who played in hill orchestras were worth more, while many did. And very few were worth that much.
The agreement as drawn up in its present form states that not more than three dollars per hour shall be paid to each man in an orchestra, one dollar per man additional to the leader. This is not intended to interfere with written contracts already made.
Twenty-three out of twenty-eight organizations voted sobly in favor of the movement but the committee feels that the consent of at least 90 per cent of the forty-two interested organizations on the hill must be in favor of it before the resolution will be effective.
A committee who interviewed or chestra leaders reported that most of the men were playing for dances on a side line and if the prices were reduced they would play playing. Some protested that the quality of the music might be reduced as well as the prices if the movement carried.
"Of course we expect opposition," said Mark Waggoner, "you can't take anything away from anybody without a fight."
Both Wisconsin and Nebraska, by organized effort, have reduced the price of dance music to $2.50 per hour.
Another meeting will be hold next Wednesday for representatives from all those houses who are in favor of the procedure and will be formulated.
Free Tickets To Game
Five Mile Run The Price to See K. U. Play C. U.
Free tickets to the Colorado-Kansas football game Saturday afternoon will be given to all persons who run the entire distance of five miles over the usual cross-country course here, beginning at 10 o'clock Saturday morning, Coach Schlademan announced this morning.
All who finish the distance of five miles, more or less, under thirty minutes, will be admitted to the games in the afternoon free of charge.
This run is mainly for the benefit of the squad—to get them accustomed to running in the forenoon, as the race at Missouri on Thanksgiving day will be run at that time. Efforts were made to get a Western Conference team to meet the Kansas runners, including the Georgia, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and others were tried but with no success.
The Student Directories have arrived and may be obtained at the Registrar's office.

Program Started This Morning
The morning was devoted to talks
by the members of the faculty in the
department of journalism.
"There are five tests for news," said Prof. W. A. Dill in his talk, "News for High School Papers." The test ares: Is it news? Is it true? Is it timely? Is it constructive? Is it kindly? Those questions apply to the community paper as well as the greatropolitan dailies."
Professor Dill pointed out that the high school papers must obtain most of it news from the activities of it, news and other things in which the school has facultyes and departments of athletics are also sources of good stories. This confinement of news to practically one source, the school, presents the dane of the news, a free use of colloquialisms which is one of the worst habits to be formed.
To the business and advertising managers of the high school papers. Professor Flint talked on "The Business Success of a Paneer."
Talks to Ad Managers
"Business means the discovery of a market," and Mr. Flint. He further explained that the market for the high school paper is divided into two parts, the circulation and the purchase. The latter demands certain things of the paper
"The reader wants to obtain real news as well as jokes and quips from the paper. The advertiser is looking for an open door to a new market."
"The business manager must see that he has a commodity, not only pleasing to the eye in makeup and dressing, but filling the value to satisfy his market.
"Above all," said Mr. Flint "a business paper must be a business success. A newspaper conducted on a poor business basis will get nowhere. Merchants want to deal with successful business concerns."
"The business manager must be a salesman who can find "the point of contact," on both the reader and the advertiser."
Mahin Discusses Editorials
Mahm Discusses Editorials
Dr. Helen Mahin discussed the editorial page.
"The editorial page serves two purposes," she said. "To express public opinion and to make people think, what can we do?" The column will cover world, national, state, and home news so that everyone can understand it. It should entertain people and give them pleasure. But it not only make them think but act."
In writing, students should not try to be artificial. It should be done naturally and more in the manner of every day speech and thought. Writing ability doesn't necessarily come with old age, or rather, people should know how to present themselves better when attempt writing. Do it now if the indication is present.
This afternoon Mr. Ralph Ellis, Managing Editor of the Kansas City Journal, gave an address. Journalism was discussed at meetings conducted by Miss Mahin and Mr. Flint. The afternoon ended with a "Seeing K. U." tour through the Museum and other points of interest under the guidance of the staff.
A supper for visiting delegates under the auspices of the K. U. Press Club and the University Daily Kanan will be given this evening at the Plymouth Congregational Church, Chancellor E. H., Lindley will greet the visitors and the supper will be followed by an informal program.
Saturday morning there will be round tables held for those interested in reporting, editorial writing and the criticism of papers. Teachers, supervisors, business and advertising managers will also have round tables.
Mr. Fred Triggs, of the Kansas City Star, and Mr. Lee White, of the Detroit News will address the conference tomorrow morning. Awards by the winners will be made to the winners of the contest for high school newspapers.
