UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, WEDNESDAY AFTER NOON, APRIL 14, 1915.
The Kansas squad worked out of doors yesterday and had batting and leisure practice although the field was not in the best of condition. Marxen, lawson, or a left-hander will probably do the slab work for the Variety of opening batsman 100 Oelock. Marxen is the most likely of the three mentioned because he is an early season man with his arm already in fine condition. John Bunn has been working hard the catcher's position the past week and may be expected to start Thursday's game behind the bat. The initial sack is a toss up between Gray and Farrel. Both are hard hitters among the other squads and under may be retained on the sack at the hitting of Gray keeps the as for as general all around ability is concerned.
second, Nate Jessehamer has been working most of late. Lashley, who also a candidate for the position may be shifted to the outfield. Short top's position is still very much in the air, and he is Murphy and Wood are both hard hit and clean fielders. Again as in case of Lashley, Murphy may beanged to the outfitter, in order to strain an invincible batting order. "Dutch" Lonborg has been used on bird almost exclusively the past crack and it is almost a safe bet that he again be at his old 1910 season.
"The team is going good," said och mCarty today, "and I expect em to come out on the long end of

K. U. Vamps Puzzled At Anti-Rouge Dictum
It has been said:
"Little dabs of powder, little dabs of paint.
Make the K. U. maidens look like what they aint."
War paths and war paints may have been things of the past or they may have not. The struggle of vamps to "outwamp" each other has been as momentous a question as the Custer wars.
One girl says it is each girl dures to look her best and that it can not be done without a little cosmetic shop of her own. A second girl interviewed the girl when she is all "farged out," and must still look her best. Another imperiment little feminine beauty very pearly said, "if a girl wants to paint, powder, pull her eyebrows and wear makeup, then it is her business and nobody else."
But girls, you're all wrong again. The fact is that rouge is no longer in style. Paris Journals say that every coat worn by women and painted in the shades of the costume to be worn, with the coming of this spring. The rouge must also go and the cheeks must be left as pale as the lips. Illies which surround the placid lake.
SMITH TAKES PUNCH
AT RESEARCH REPORT
America Far Behind Other Coun tries in Research Work Says Prof. Alter
"American universities have spent less on research work than any other Universities in the world," said Prof. W. R. Smith, of the department of sociology. "Professor Pritchie's criticism of the 'imitation research' as he terms it, has been small and misleading. A shamefully small amount of money has been spent in any sort of enco-urceasure of research work."
Professor Pritchett deplores the fact that the salaries of college professors have necessarily been leveled to a minimum because of the extensiveness of the field, thereby greatly increasing the number of teachers needed. "I do not agree, at all, with Professor Pritchett," said Prof. Dinnore Alter. "The extension of the curriculum might be harmful in some places, small colleges, for instance, but in every state there should be one place where practice would be taught well. There is too little of real research work done in American Universities. We lead the world in research work in the field of astronomy, but in other fields we are far behind." He says that he would rather have a chance to do the research work which he is now able to do along with his teaching, than get paid by applying his knowledge of astronomy in some other line of work.
Prof. W. M. Sterling, of the department of ancient languages, said that the extension of the college curriculum is neither a bad thing, nor a weakness, but it has been a perfectly natural and inevitable development. Certain departments have received too much attention due to the tendency of the students to follo- wards themselves as if they were povised but on the whole the extension of the curriculum has proven very beneficial."
Party Dresses Permitted At Prom Asserts Wells
"The feminine gender may blossom out in all its glory at the prom," Bill Wells, one of the managers said today, as he paused in his labor of securing decorations which he and Rudy Baumain claim are going to surpass anything ever seen on the Hill. "Yes, indeed," he continued, "party dresses or afternoon frocks will be in order; and I am expecting that all Parisiennes style show will be backed off the map, and made to gas for breath. The dresses that we have in boxes addressed to certain K. U. beauties have been arrived recently and Lawrence outfitters have been overworked in making sales."
Wells anticipates no difficulty in keeping the "no flowers, no taxis" decree obeyed, especially since the mandate that the women need have no fear of any lavish costume being out of place.
