BASKETBALL SEASON IS CLOSED AT K. U.
Jayhawker Five Win the Last Game of Season at St. Louis Saturday
WON NINE; LOST SEVEN
Three of the Four Games Player Last Week Were Lost by Ragged Playing
The Jayhawker quintet closed their 1917 basketball season Saturday night by winning the last game with the Washington University five at Louis. The score of it 19, The Freeze 24, in favor of Washington University.
None of the Jayhawker goal-tossers were up to their standard, according to Coach Hamilton, and their team-work and goal-shooting ability were lacking during the entire trip. He said, however, that the first game with the Tigers at Columbia was also might, was a fairly one, and the team played more team-work than at any time on the trip.
HAD NO LICENSE TO LOSE
Hawkey Hamilton said that the Jayhawk quintet had no license to lose the first Washington University game. The principal reasons he gave for the Jayhawk defeat were that the referee was totally incompetent, and that Scrubby Laslett was forced to play in three minutes of play on personal fouls.
In the first clash with Washington, University Friday night, the Jayhawker quintet opened the scoring with a 15-foot foul out of net. Serbhavi Lalett was
a forced from the game on personal fouls and Rudolf Uhrlaub was shifted from left forward to left guard in place of Laetelle, and Kauder went in at left forward. This change proved ineffective and the Washing-ton Jayhawker lead and added a three-point margin by the end of the half.
PIKERS CONTINUE TO LEAD
PIKERS CONTINUE TO LEAD
The second half was much the same as the latter part of the first half, and the Pikers had piled up an eight-hit, the end of the game, the score standing 24 to 16 in favor of Washington.

STATE MANAGER BILL
PASSES LEGISLATURE
All Institutions Controlled by Board of Three Men and Business Manager
The lower house of the Kansas legislature passed the State Manager Bill Friday when it occurred in the senate ambediments, and the bill, which was introduced by the ministry, the Board of Control, and the Board of Corrections into one board now lacks only the signature of the governor and official publication to make it a law. The new board will be known as the Board of Administration.
The board consists of three members appointed by the governor, and the governor himself, who acts as president. The board appoints co-potive members, receive $300 per year each and expenses. The board appoints a business manager who supervises all state institu- tions now under control of the three boards.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 26, 1917.
This is the third change in five years in the form of administration for the University and other state institutions. For many years the University was under a Board of Regents, but since 1986 it under a board of administration. The business management will act as general supervisor and purchasing agent.
The bill is intended to take the administration of public institutions out of politics and bring about a more efficient management. It is estimated that the bill will save the state over $300,000 annually. The measure is not meant to be a proposal and in urging its passage before the senate he called it the most economical and sensible move in the history of the state institutions.

Faculty Holds "Club Night"
Will Dance the London Taps
A new dance, the London Taps, recently made its appearance at the Saturday morning dancing class. It denies that the dance is a celebration with which the performer taps the floor alternately with heel and toe. The latest terpichiorchean creation is said to be a cross between the Pigeon Walk and the Kangaroo Hop. The victim first approaches his partner in a defensive position, and, after some preliminary sparing with the feet, canter forward a few steps, where the process is repeated. The recipient requires good audition, and good judgment of distance, as a participant with the heel by either participant might entail serious consequences to any stray pedal member which happened to be lingering in the vicinity.

APPROPRIATION BILL PASSES STATE SENATE
Provides $225,000 to Complete Administration Building But No Salary Increase
NO FINE ARTS BUILDING
Attempt to Provide Separate Home for School of Music Failed by Vote of 14-17
The appropriation bill for state educational institutions, which includes $225,000 for the completion of the Administration Building, was passed by the state senate Friday evening after several hours of spirited debate.
The total appropriation for the University amounts to $1,554,000, an increase of $287,402 over the amount appropriated by the 1915 legislature.
PROFESSOR.
This amount, however, may permit an increase in the salaries of University professors. Senator Wilder S. Metcalf moved that an increase of $22,000 for each year be allowed for increasing the salaries of University faculty. He called attention to the fact that many prominent faculty at the University because of more attractive offers from other universities.
In this he was seconded by Sen. James R. Plumb, of Emporia, who charged the senate with allowing increases to other state institutions, while objecting to adequate approvals for the educational institutions.
ALL SCHOOLS NEED INCREASE
Sen. W. F. Schoob, of Topeka, also favored the increase, and in a speech urging it called attention to the increased attendance at all state schools.
Sen. P. Kihmall also favored an education sufficient to increase the salary of K. U. faculty members.
Sen. James F. Malone of Herndon warned the senate that if the increase was allowed K. U., he would ask a proportional increase for all state schools.
Sen. C. E. Snyder, of Leavenworth, a member of the ways and means committee, then tried to change the University building appropriation by allowing the Senate for the Administration Building and allowing $100,000 in addition for a Fine Arts Building. This move was strongly supported in speeches by Senator Snyder and Senator Nightingale, who was finally lost by a vote of 14 to 17.

Tilly Koenen is Ranked With Schumann-Heink by Many
Critics
Students of the University will have an opportunity to hear a noted singer, Tuesday night, when Mme. Tilly Kooen sings the fifth concert of the University Concert Course in Robinson Gymnasium.
Mme. Koenen's voice is a contritio, of great power and range, but with this she has an exquisite pianissimo, as well as a fluent singing the lightest and most delicate songs. She deserves ranking with Schumann-Helnik in the opinion of many musical critics. Her range exceeds that of her fellow composers' note of which she has perfect control.
Mme. Koenen's program will consist of songs in German, French, and English. She will translate the German and French songs into English before singing them. Dean Butler, who heard her singing in Topeka a year ago, says that she is imitative, and that these songs will prove to be one of her favorites. Also on the program will be five Danish children's songs, which have made Mme. Koenen famous as a singer of this class of music.
Mme. Koenen will be accompanied by Louise Linder, pianist. These two artists are inseparable, as Miss Linder's piano is not part of the companion of any other pianist.
