FOOTBALL DIMINISHED ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION DEBT.
Had Haskell Institute Been Played Entire Debt Would Have Been Wiped Out
Under management of W. C. Lansdon, the football season of 1905 has netted the athletic association $297.55. Applying this profit to the unpaid claims from last year consisting of $672.55, the association is now in debt $375.00.

Two "ifs" prevented the old debt from being wiped out this year. The rainy day when Washington University played made the attendance at that game small and the calling off"of the Haskell game which promised to bring a recordbreaking crowd caused a $350 financial loss.
Kansas. to Compete at Athens.
Fay Moulton, the ex-Kansas University 100 yard man is very likely to compete in the Olympic Games at Athens this summer. Moulton lowered the 100 yard Kansas record in '99 to 9 4-5 seconds and then went to Yale where he ran several races with the worlds champion, Arthur Duffey.
Last June, Moulton won the 440,220 and 100 yard runs in the K.C.A.C., St. Louis and Lincoln track meet at Kansas City.
Y. W. C. A. Elects Officers.
The Y. W. C. A. held their annual election last Wednesday. The following officers were elected: Ruby Jackson, president; Ola Bingler, vice president; Susie Shaffer, secretary; Henrietta Gebbardt, treasurer.
Barb Girls' Party.
An exceptionally nice party was given last night at Fraternal Aid Hall. The party was rather small and exclusive, about eighty couples dancing. Twenty-four barb girls took part in the event, the other girls present being chosen as guests from the various sororities.
The girls on the reception line were Miss Ada Bechtel, Miss Maud VanCleave, Miss Katheryn Hosford, Miss Margerite Dixon and Miss Ella Nash. The grand march was very prettily executed. The programmes were given out by Miss Hermina Pollman and Miss Blanch Smith at the south side, and Miss Gertrude Merker and Miss Nellie Isaacson at the north side. The programs were dainty white folders engraved in gold, and made up of the usual twenty-two dances.
The refreshments were perhaps the most elaborate of any given this spring. They were served in two courses. On the menu were dainty sandwiches with chicken salad, pickles and coffee, and Neapolitan ice cream with fancy cakes.
A small fire in a steam laundry next door did not interrupt the dancers but only added a little fun and excitement to the affair. In all it was a very successful and enjoyable party.
Kansas Monday.
An opportunity will be given to the University public on Monday night to again see how Kansas athletes conduct themselves. A basket-ball game has been arranged with the fast K, U. team to be played on our floor, and it is expected that a hearty welcome will be given to the Jayhawkers. This is the first contest in any branch of athletics with Kansas for three years. Daily Nebraskan.
German Plav.
The students of the German department will play "Die Schulreitrain" in the original German next Friday evening in chapel. The play is popular and any one with a fair knowledge of german can appreciate it. The play has been given in the Verein since vacation. The cast will be announced in the next issue of the Kansan.
One of the freshman "barb" girls sent an invitation to the "Barb" girls spring party to a professor, who is married and has three children, with the card of an unmarried member of the faculty in it.
The Phi Delts gave a matinee dance at their house this afternoon, followed by a dinner.
Two prominent young men of the law school were expelled from the University Saturday for some indiscreet actions of a few nights ago.
TEAMS SELECTED
SIX LAWYERS ON TEAMS FOR INTERSTATE DEBATE.
Small Number of Debaters Makes Double Trials Necessary---- Strong Baker Team.
Professors Hodder, Becker and Burdick, the judges in the debating trials, met this morning and made the results of the preliminary debates which were held this week. As there were only nineteen men in the preliminaries it was decided to select the nine men for the teams without the formality of a second set of trials.
As the squad has been divided, the Baker team is probably the strongest of the three. The men are: J.W.Blood and Wilburn Parker of the Law School and Chester Ramsey of Snow literary society.
The men who will represent the University in the Iowa debate are: W. J. Luckey, and J. H. Sutton of the Law School, and N. J. Bischoff of X.Y.Z. They will defend the affirmative of the question: "Resolved, that the United States should establish a fiscal protectorate over West Indian, Central or South American Republic, whenever it shall manifest a chronic failure to meet its foreign financial obligations." Granted: that neither these republics nor any foreign nation would object.
The Missouri men are: "Howell and McWilliams of the Law School, and John Gage of X. Y. Z. Kansas has the affirmative of the following question: "Resolved: that Congress should grant power to a commission to fix and enforce railway rates. Granted: that any action of Congress after the question is submitted shall not enter into this debate. Both the Baker and Missouri debates will be held here.
With the issue of February 7th the Daily Nebraskan ceased its publication. At a meeting of the board of regents last spring, it was decided that the college paper would be operated on the elective plan—somewhat similar to the present system in vogue here. In the future the editors and assistants will be elected only when the quality of their writing guarantees sufficient fitness-for editorial work. Whether the name "Nebraskan" will be dropped is not known.
A terrible clatter of bells is frequently heard in Fraser Hall today. The electricians are installing the new set of electric gongs.
The many University people seen going to the river today to skate were divided into pairs, so that they might be "as they should in co-education," as Prof. Hopkins says.
TRACK SCHEDULE COMPLETED
There Will Be Five Meets. Nebraska among Them.
Manager Lansdon has completed the track schedule. Five meets will be held:
Indoor meet, Kansas City March 16.
Interschool meet, McCook April 13.
Oklahoma, Norman, Okla.
Oklahoma, Norman, Okla.
Missouri, Columbia.
Nebraska, McCook field.
The exact date of the last three meets have not yet been decided upon, but they will all be held in May.
Rejoin K. C. A. C. Team.
It is announced today that Albert Hicks and "Pete" Allen, former K. U. athletes have gone back to the Kansas City Athletic Club and will play in the rest of the seasons games. They had quit the Blue Diamond team on account of a little trouble with Coach Delaney. The breach has been patched up and a truce declared, so that Hicks and Allen can accompany the Blue Diamonds on their Eastern trip. Their loss was keenly felt by the Athletics as can be seen by the fact that Baker beat them this week. They will also play in the series of games against the Schnecady, New York team, which are to be played in Convention Hall February 15, 16, 17. Hicks had been spending his vacation on his big farm near Beloit, Kas.
Quill Club Elects.
The Quill Club elected the following officers for the spring semester at the regular meeting this week. Frank Melvin, president; Bernice Jones, vice-president; Rillie Bernhard, secretary and treasurer.
The club has a larger and more active membership this year than for two or three years past and is in a fair way to become a strong factor in the English department of the University. Several lectures and special programs have already been arranged for the Tuesday meetings this spring.
Chancellor's Condition.
Chancellor Strong has no fever now and is getting along very nicely. However it will be some time before he will be able to be up. The Chancellor has been ill since his return from the meeting of the State Board of Education at Topeka the week after Christmas holidays.
Fine Skating on River.
Skating on the Kaw has been ideal for the last few days. More students have been seen going toward the river than to the library. Good skating comes so seldom at K.U. that lessons must give place when it does come.
