PRESENT LETTERS AT BIG SMOKER
Speakers Praise Team at Football Mixer—Small Crowd and Few Speeches
The annual football amoker in F A. U. Hall last night in honor of the 1918 football team was attended by a crowd and crowd in spite of the cold weather.
A short program was carried out including talks by Manager W. O. Hamilton, Chancellor Strong, Coach Bean Olertz and Maldeville, a freshman at the Maplewood academy made a short talk on the possibilities for next year. Potty Clark was also billed to talk but he was out of town, Captain Lindsay, all-village half, was on the program and did provide a driver; show up until late in the evening. Uncle Jimmy was there and after a short talk presented letters to the football cross country teams. It was while this part of the game that out the mod's Lindsay and for his 1916 football "K"
appeared for his 1914 football "K" Uncle Jimmy, however, refused to give it to him until he had made the talk that was expected of him. From the predictions last night next season looks like a good one.
A three round bout between Youngs Murphy and Butler, his sparring partner.
A smoking set was presented to Coach Leon McCarty by the freshman squad for his efficient work with that team this fall.
MAKE PLANS FOR MERCHANTS WEEK
Will Make Program and Entertainment More Elaborate This Year
The program For the Merchants Short Course, to be held in February under the direction of the University Extension Division, is practically complete. "A few more lecturers are yet to be secured," said F. R. Hamilton, director of the Extension Division.
Besides the lectures and talks on the business subjects naturally to be expected on such an occasion, many new features are being added for the convenience and entertainment of the University. These will be provided by different departments of the University. A noon-day luncheon for the merchants will be served on the Hill daily during the meeting, followed, for purposes of promoting sociability and providing fifteen minute address each day.
the "increased attendance at these meetings," said Mr. Hamilton, "and the large number of merchants who return annually clearly indicates that the retailers have found these Short Courses to be of considerable value. The annual rate in past three years makes it possible for an even better program to be offered next February than has been offered in preceding years."
Concerts will be given by the faculty members of the School of Fire Arts and by the Glee Club. The University Orchestra and the University Band will also contribute to the entertainment. Prof. Arthur MacMurray of the department of public speaking will give a program of readings, and the Dramatic Club will present a repertoire Chamber of Commerce will give a banquet to the merchants at the F. A. U. Hall on Thursday night, February 8. Films will be shown for purposes of instruction and entertainment. A film entitled, "The Trials of the Storekeeper," is among these.
PRACTISE ON HOLIDAYS
Basket Tossers Will Hunt Goal Instead of Rabbits Christmas
Basketball practice has suffered this week on account of quizzes and social events. The interclass football series engaged several players, some as candidates and others as coaches for the teams.
Throughout the holidays those of the aquafish who remain will practice regularly. All the men are expected to report immediately after Christa fancy dress party. Only members of the active chapter were present.
The first scheduled game, Washburn Jan. 10, is expected to be little more than a practice affair, although Dr. Kennedy may unsecure a surprise victory over the Kansas two days later, Jan. 12. Phog Allen will bring his aggregation from Warensburg to put the varity five next to some of the old style Kansas football players. Allen brothers were the mainstays of the Kansas athletic supporters.
The first series of conference games with Ames, Jan. 18 and 19, will prove the mettle of the Kansas squad. The second series of game est on the schedule as Ames loses only two men from the squad of last year.

MORE PANORAMA BY USE OF PAINT
Prof. Hekking to Paint Scenic Background in Dyche Museum
Museum
The first floor of Dyche Museum is to have a scenic background, painted by W. M. Hekking, associate professor of drawing and painting at the University of Kansas, to carry the panorama idea into the distance. Professor Hekking will begin on the south wall of the museum, squirrels, and opossums are placed in a naturalistic fall setting of brown grasses, fallen leaves, and rocks. He has made several trips into the country near here with C. D. Bunker, curator of Dyche Museum, to make color sketches of rocky cliffs and fall set preliminary to the final large perspective on the walls of the museum.
Under Mr. Bunker's direction, workers have been busy for several weeks preparing the walls. Canvas was hung over the plaster and a coat of filler applied to it. With this finish the walls were painted. Mr. Hekking will begin work just as soon as the paints arrive.
The improvement the scenic background will make to the panorama is quite evident to any one who has ever seen those bleak, bare, grey walls rising perpendicularly above the panorama which shows in its perfection the naturalistic setting the twenty years of work required to make it.
Professor Hekkening's close acquaintance with the northern's and Canadian woods, where he was raised and of which he has many sketches, will aid him in preparing the perspective for the north side of the building. Here are the moose, the polar bears, and other animals native to the North.
Mr. Hekking received his bachelor of painting degree from the University of Syracuse, where he was associate professor. He also has been conceived with the departments of fine arts in James Milikin University and the University of St. Louis and now is secretary and treasurer of the College Art Association of America.
CANDLES LIGHT E'EN THE
DARKEST NIGHT
Make North College Bright
TALLOW CANDLES LIGHT
Time= 5:00 P. M. Friday A. D.
1912
Scene—Barren class room in Old North College.
Act 1. Four and twenty fine arts are huddled together in a dark and glomy room listening fearfully to weird music? No, only rats putting on a track meet between the mouldering walls. But is not this enough to strike terror to faint hearts?
Finally one brave spirit finds a match, from whence no man can tell, and lights the gas, yes all three of them are burning jets. Blaze forth, their mellow rays.
What's this—a Professor going to give a spread? In wonderment the fine arts forgot to tremble. Deliberately the modern Sir Gallehad makes another trip to the box, and the painter brings him over to be vanish, for he brings forth—not pink tea and Nabiscoes but tallow candles. Fixing these upon the plates he lights them and distributes them about the room. Then turning to the class, he remarks, "We will now proceed with the Ensemble Vivendi, you may meet. Somebody is always taking the joy out of life.
Footfalls are heard in the hall. They come nearer. The door is flung open and in walks Professor Nevin with a large dry-goods box. He sets the box down, tears off the cover it produces a dozen or more paper plates.
Ladies desiring to make a purchase of Christmas cigars, smoking sets, stands, ash trays, or men's pocket books are especially invited to make them here. Every courtesy will be shown by our clerks and we shall also be glad to assist you in making a selection. Carroll's—Adv.

BY THE WAY
How do people go to concerts? To have a date? Even so. Because some one else cannot use his ticket? Also probable. Because it is the thing to do? Perhaps some go because they can't escape. Students students because they can't escape. Speaking of fine arts, one of the students of the f. a., who is the wife of a faculty member spent a glorious hour and a half crochetting at the last concert. But Christmas is approaching and the poor thing could not help herself.
