DR. McKEEVER MADE PLAN
Former Professor Outlines Requisites of Model Small City in Score Sheet
In February 1920, Dr. William A. McKeever of Lawrence, formerly connected with the University of Kansas, succeeded in interesting the Rotary Club of Shawnee, Oka, in a Better Cities Campaign similar to those which he had previously conducted in Kansas.
As a result of his efforts the club offered a prize of $2,500 to be given to the city in Oklahoma which, after a year or more, would prove to be the best place in which to rear the young Later Doctor McKeever visited Oklahoma and then them in the context, furnishing them with full plans and specifications.

With this committee, Doctor McKeever visited the twelve cities named above, spending a day in each, viewing their evidence of achievement and hearing their claims for first place, and receiving their written reports. Nearly all the cities declared a holiday in honor of the judges and made the occasion one of great celebration. Much more important is the contest everywhere.

Rotary Invitation Declined
At the regular meeting of the Law-
rence Rotary Club held yesterday in Fraser Hall it was decided to ask the 1921 K. U. football squad to lunch with them at their next meet-
nent. Their plans were to make this
announcement. But they the football captain for the sex
season might perhaps be elected.
"The squandau is very sorry to have had to decline this kind invitation," said Dr. Forwens C. Allon, director of the College of Arts and Sciences, "it impossible for them to accept."
All records for dry November weather in Kanaan were broken last month, according to the U. S.weather bureau's report. This has been the drytest period of the year for many years. Practically no rain can fall during October and November.
This Was Dryest Autumn Saves K. U. Weather Man
The light snow that fell over most sections of the state November 18 and 19 was the only recorded precipitation in most of the reporting stations, except in the southeastern part, where for the entire state was 0.7 inch, less than 10 per cent of the normal amount.
Failure of High Court to Jail Rebels at Leipsig is
GERMANS LOSE FAITH IN THEIR JUDICIARY
Berlin, Dec. 8.-Germany's confidence in her courts and their judges is slumping with the German mark.
The average German has become convinced that the court system is bad. The cause is the failure of the high court at Leipzig—the same that caused the collapse of the courts—he have brought before it the perpetrators of the Kapp revolt of twenty months ago.
The Kapp revolt cost hundreds of lives and billions of marks, and the ordinary German has not forgiven the people responsible for it. It was demanded that the conspirators be prosecuted, and their arrest and trial was ordered. So far none of them have been tried.
Until last spring the prosecutor libided by siring he could not find any of the conspirators. Then a Reichsherrt interpolation revealed that von Jargow, one of the leading representatives of the old regime, had always been within reach in Berlin. The Minister of Justice told the Reichsstatter that von Jargow had not been arrested because of illness which he had proved by a doctor's certificate. Von Jagw promptly issued a statement
There are two sides to the question. While the Democrat term the failure to try the monarchist conspirator "outrageous," the monarchist element has a powerful factor, contentedly asserting that our friends, cause is in good hands."
The result of the interpollation was that the court was ordered to begin the trials as soon as possible. October 27 was fixed as the date. A week before the trials were to begin, the court postponed them, declaring that four of the rebels—Captain Eberhard, Colonel Bauer, Major Pabst, and John and had been given provisional liberty. This caused the postponement, it was said, as the court wanted to try all the conspirators together.
Meanwhile another rebel, Doctor Schole, who had been in hiding since the revolt, had been arrested and released on 100,000 marks bad. The day after the postponement Captain Eberhart had no intention of appearing at trial, because he had not sufficient guarantee that the court would not arrest him after the Kapp trial for the Erzberger murder, which some of his men were accused of committing. There has been nothing since. The Kapp was liberated by honey, booming and nectar preparer for another revolt.
J. G. Stutz, secretary of the Municipal Reference Bureau attended the rate hearing of the Riverside Light and Power Company before the Public Utilities Commission in Topka Tuesday. "Owing to the fact that the attorneys for the Company had failed to supply the officials of various cities affected by the proposed new rates with valuations of plants, equipment, and distribution systems, and receipts and expenditures, which would enable the city officials to consider the reasonableness of the new rates and prepare their defense, the case was continued," said Mr. Stutz.

PAYS FOR JAYHAWKER

Head of University Would Not Accept Complimentary Copy of Yearbook
For the first time in the history of the University the Cancellor has paid for his personal copy of the Jayhawker. In the past it has been the custom to present the head of the university a copy. I "do not feel that I am entitled to a free copy any more than anybody else who has no more to do with the putting out of the book than I do. Consequently I am buying my copy of the annual," and the Cancellor is managers of the 1922 'jayhawker'.
The final order for books to be printed must be in the hands of Theugh Stevens Printing Co, who will print the book this year, by February 1922. Elmer Isern, business manager has issued a warning to students who are planning to wait until spring to buy a copy. "What that we think they are all doing this, but we do not intend to order over five or ten students failed to get copies of the book because they had waited to take advantage of the extra copies they thought had been ordered."
The number of complimentary copies to given this year will be much smaller than in the past. To date, the free-list as given out at the Jaywalker office has but the names of Governor Allen, one each to the Board of Administration, and the dedicated.
For the first time in a number of years all the women of the University will be called together at a dinner which is to be given at the University Commons at 7 o'clock, Wednesday evening, December 14.
All University Women To Dine In Commons
Tickets will be sold at the Presser Check Stand on Thursday, Friday, and Monday. The price of the tickets will be fifty cents and all women of the University are urged to be present, because it will be a real affair with beautiful decorations and local entertainment, according to Jenny Glendinning, who has charge of the entertainment.
"Honey" Says,"The Capital and the Governor are all we need now that we have a Stadium"
Send the Daily Kansan home.
"Now dat we have di studum, alit "now dat we needs is to move de capitol here and we neede da Guvner presidin' over di valley. Dis hilltop am a fitten' place fer dot." These are the sentiments expressed by Charles Wilson, keeper of McCook field.
Mr. Wilson and "Honey," as he is called by the football men, is a loyal admirer of the squad, cheering them on, saying that they then of traditions of the past.
Kansas has a most enviable athletic tradition, say those who know her history. Twenty-nine years ago this fall, an Illinois team invaded the Kansas field, signalling the opening of McCook Field. Kansas defeated the Illinois squad 28 to 4. McCook Field, as it appeared then, was quite different from the present field of battle. In 1901, a covered grandstand which stood in the northwest corner was the home of the football team. Then in 1904 in the north bleachers were made a part of the slowly growing structures. In 1909, the south bleachers and in 1911 the west bleachers were added. Each year buildings
were viewed. Many thousand dollars were spent in this way.
In the passing of the years Kansas has upheld the traditions of that first football game and her glory, is reflected in her records of many victories, both in football games and in the growth of the University.
Many radical changes have taken place since that victory of twenty-five years ago. McCook Field is no longer recognizable to returning Grads. Gone are the board fence walls and the trees through, as are the trees that gave a vantage point to the small boy who did not possess the necessary entrance fee. In their place stands the beginning of a wast outdoor structure of concrete, a symbol of the desire of many architects to expand their number who died in service.
On October 29, five thousand Jay-hawks saw this great memorial仪式 timely opened by a decisive victory over the honored enemy, the Agile Wildcats.

If tradition holds true for the futre, as it has for the past, Kansas glory will indeed be supreme.
