12 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN VOLUME XIV. NUMBER 66 NIELSEN IS NEXT YEAR'S CAPTAIN Plunging Full-Back Will Guide K. U.'s Gridiron Heroes of 1917 CROSS COUNTRY ELECTS Racers Rinker Chosen At Banquet To Lead Long Distance Harry M. Nielsen, the plunging fallback of the 1916 machine, was unanimously elected captain of the 1917 team at the annual football banquet last night at the Eldridge House. The race for capcityancy was between Fayetteville and Harry Rinker was elected captain of next year's cross-country team. PLAYED CONSISTENT GAME Nielsen played the same consistent brand of football for his high school team at Natoma that he has shown HARRY (SWEDE) NIELSEN Football Captain-elect. here. Last year was his first year on the Varsity, and although his playing was not spectacular, it was always consistent. His best work last year was on the defensive, but for solid line smashing he was nearly always good for a gain. This year his playing has been more aggressive. In many games he has shown great ability in hand-to-hand play across the Nebraska line in the first victory since Tommy Johnson's celebrated dash in 1909. Twenty-seven football men, six men of the cross-country team and the coaches were guests of honor at the banquet last night. Adrian Lindsey, captain, this year, was presented with a leather travelling bag by the men of his team. Lindsey in the back, three to five, way they played. Coach Olcott and Manager W. O. Hamilton also expressed their appreciation of the good work done by the team this season. Nielsen made a brief speech of thanks. The captainny of the cross-country team was a race between Welsh and Rinker. Rinker, the new captain, is a junior from Wakeney. He made a good showing in the spring inter-class meet last year and has been showing good form in every season. He is well suited to Stateler in practically every run. GOLDSMITH RETURNS FROM MEETING OF ARCHITECTS Goldwin Goldsmith, Professor of Architecture, has just returned from the annual meeting of the American Association of Architects at Minneapolis. Questions in American architecture were taken up and problems such as pork barrel methods of building post offices were discussed. Every third year the convention is moved from the headquarters at Washington and Professor Goldsmith thinks the chances for bringing the Architects to Kansas City for the next meeting are good Founds School in Kentucky Founds School in Kentucky. That the Kansas idea for a school of public health is growing is proven through the bane of the School of Medicine, will leave this week for Louisville, KY, to assist in the founding of a school there. Kansas was the first state to take up this idea of a school of public health. It was five years ago that such a school was founded. The school was founded and she told to be founded in Louisville will last only three days. The Weather Partly cloudy and probably unset tied tonight and Thursday, so not cold GRADUATE MAGAZINE IS The December number of the Graduate Magazine, containing several articles of interest to the student body as the alumni, is off the press today. OFF THE PRESS TODAY It contains a short article on how the University budget is built, giving each step in the figuring of the University's expense account. Prof. E. F. Engel gives a short but thorough his analysis of the system planning the workings of the system. Willard Wattles contributed a short poem in the form of a prayer. Another article of particular interest to the students is the story of the "University on the Border," by Dr. Naismith, who was chaplain of the Lawrenmont Foundation. This team wrote a series of the K. U. boys last summer. There are several personal items, alumni notes and other features of interest. KANSAS MEETS NEBRASKA TODAY UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 13, 1916. Debaters Discuss Submarine Warfare Question in Annual Dual Contest The Lincoln debaters, Robert B. Waring, C. Ivan Winslow, and E Everett Carr, accompanied by Professor Maxey, arrived in Lawrence over the Union Pacific at three-fifteen o'clock this afternoon, passing on the row in the Kansas team, emu-ion, W. W. Hancock, son, and Wallace Hake, which upholds the negative side of this same question in Lincoln tonight. The Kansas debating team is endeavoring to establish to the satisfaction of three judges this afternoon in Fraser Hall that submarine warfare upon commerce, as now conducted, is incompatible with the rights of neutrals and the law of nations in regard to non-combatant enemies; while the Nebraska队 is bombarding the same three judges with arguments to show that this undersea warfare violates these rights and laws. Edwin Price, George Brown, and Harold Mattoon compose the Kansas队. Last year dual debates between the Universities of Nebraska and Kansas were resumed after a lapse of some ten years. At this first meeting Nebraska succeeded in defeating both Kansas teams, although only by close decisions. This adds much interest to the debate over which Kansans are fighting to win as complete a victory on the forum as the football team did on the rridiron. The Delta Sigma Rho will give a banquet for the debaters and judges FANNING CONCERT WON MUCH FAVOR Baritone Rendered a Splendid Program With Much Ability Cecil Fanning won the enthusiastic support of his audience in the first number of his program last night and retained it through the full two hours of splendid singing and dramatic interpretation. Mr. Fanning's voice is a rich bari tone which is aided in the expression of emotional tones by his sincerely dramatic gesture. The variety in his program, which was illustrated in Loewe's "Der Erikonik", Schumann's "Der Nussbaum," and the Old French folk song "Le Cycle du Vin," would have discribed seriously plued voice or one which depended upon non-essentials for effect, but Mr. Fanning showed perfect control and his voice grew more pleasing and powerful as he continued. "Iimmortal Love", by Prof. Arthur Nevin was rich in harmony and Mr. Fanning's interpretation of it was more suitable to the song rather than to himself. He is perhaps at his best in the tenderer, softer songs; he creates the right atmosphere in the beginning and enables them to enjoy the beauty of the song. The explanations made by H. B. Turpin, the accompanist, before many of the selections helped the audience to get more out of the individual numbers and made the program exceptionally interesting. Something different in encores was the recitation of "The Bend in the Road", a poem which he himself wrote, while traveling in Ireland. His ready brogue made it wonderfully pleasing. W. H. Wellhouse, assistant state mortologist, has just returned from Pittsburgh where he has been inspector of shipment of 2,000 oriental shrubs. Eight students were suspended from the University November 28 for participating in the Naughty Rally. This was Tuesday afternoon. The following Tuesday, the Kansas took a positive stand on the matter. This paper jumped at no conclusions. It took time to investigate thoroughly. It presented the facts. It gave its readers its sincere judgment. Students and Faculty Join Hands The next day the Kansan pointed out a definite solution of the difficulty. The plan finally followed by the Student Council and the Disciplinary Committee was essentially the same one suggested by the Kansan. The result was made public this morning. And it further called for expression of other student sentiment. You know the response. The Kansas cannot help take what it believes a justifiable pride in a service to the University. And it rejoices in the triumph of what it believes to be right. BAND WILL GIVE ANNUAL CONCERT It further congratulates the University on having such a fair-minded set of faculty men and a corps of student representatives, who were "on to their job." Program of Classical and Popu lar Music Arranged by Director McCanles The University Band will appear in its annual fall concert in Fraser Hall Chapel at eight o'clock Thursday evening, December 14.

McCaines, who came here in 1907, after studying music in Chicago. At that time there was only the nucleus of a band, no band music, and no instruments. From this begin- ning the University of Kansas Band has been developed into a per- forming group with an extremely high quality of which is recognized by prominent band leaders throughout the country. 11.

DILLON TALKS TO KANSAN BOARD AT ANNUAL DINNER Miss Alberta Corbin is not meeting her German classes this week because of illness. The Daily Kansan Board gave its annual Christmas dinner last evening at Bricken's. Mr. Charles Dillon, managing editor of the Cappar Farm Publications, who is giving a series of lectures on this week, was the ruest of honor.

The place cards were miniature Kansans upon which the menu and toast were placed. DILLON BELIEVES IN NEWSPAPERS Topeka Editor Told of the Public and the Press Yesterday "The newspapers do not get one half the credit from the public that they deserve," said Charles Dillon, managing editor of the Capper farm publications on "Newspapers in the Public." Fraser Chapel yesterday. "In a public enterprise, a newspaper gives thousands of dollars' worth of space to help fund the university. If it fails, then the public expects them to help with the finances of the enterprise." In connection with this statement, he urged the case of the Kansas City Star after the burning of Convention Hall. "It if had not been for the efforts of Mr. Nelson in the columns of his paper, this hall would never have been rebuilt. The public does not think of these things in connection with a newspaper. They think that it is an editor's duty to help out with public improvements." "The public," he continued, "is an unstable witness. Ask different people that saw a thing happen and you would have to worry about the time. Then when the public sees these statements in a paper they criticize it, never stopping to think how quickly news is written nor of the events encountered in editing a paper. "Papers are improving and editors are doing all they can to help in this. No editor wants false statements in his paper and they try to keep such things out, but they will get into print because they have two essentials, and at the present there are fewer mistakes in papers than there formerly were."

MEN PUT BAN ON NAUGHTY RALLIES By Unanimous Vote at Special Convocation, Stalwarts Disapprove of Rowdyism DEAN WALKER EXPLAINS Said Time Had Come for Drastic Action in Regard to Much Outbreaks Wheres, there has come about a situation at the University of Kansas in which sundry disorders and breaches of discipline, on part of the student body, have taken place, and Therefore be it resolved, by the men students of the University of Kansas in convocation assembled: Wheres, such breaches of discipline have appeared in the form of unauthorized rallies in which there has been an unwalful interruption with classes on the part of the students of this University, and Wheres, certain students have been called before the University Disciplinary Committee and, upon trial, found guilty of such breach online and dismissed from school for the remainder of the semester. That we hereby condemn and express our sentiment to be against such disturbances as occurred at the morning of October 27, and That in the future we shall do all within our power to prevent and suppress such disturbances. That we concur and endorse the action of the University Senate with regard to the rule protections in similar offenses in the future, and That we ask and hereby petition the University Senate to reconsider their action in suspend their participation in their participation in the affair, and excise toward these men a material degree of clemency. The entire men student body of the University unanimously adopted the foregoing resolution at the meeting in Fraser chapel to take action in expansion of the eight students for their participation in the impromptu rally of the morning of October 27. The mass-meeting of the men followed the conference of the Men's Committee of the disciplinary committee late yesterday and it was argued that if a resolution to the effect that the students were opposed to the "naughty rallies" and would do their part in the future to see that such rallies did not recur, definite elementry would be asked disciplinary committee meets with the University Senate tomorrow. CHANCELLOR'S TALK IMPRESSIVE CHANCLELLOR'S TALK IMPRESSIVE The conversation today was opened with students by Chancellor Strong to be filled out dealings in the matter and asked that the students give the faculty the same consideration in the case as they expected in return. The Chancellor explained the true idea of college to the subject that wish no reference to the subject that wish sideration was made, the impression that the Chancellor's talk made was easily seen. A reference to a settling of a similar matter in former years was made. With the admonition to students in a just manner, the Chancellor turned to the meeting over to the students. Paul Greeyer, president of the student council reviewed the facts without comment and called upon Dean Walker, who with Prof. W. C. Stevens represented the disciplinary committee in the matter. EXPLAINED COMMITTEE'S ACTION EXPLAINED COMMITTEE'S ACTION In explaining the action of the disici- nary committee Dean Walker said, "It it not the wish of the committe- tee in inflicting the punishment was given to these eight men to any particular harm to these particu- lar men, but rather the action came after we had investigated the case enough to find that some severe pun- ishment must follow this lawless rally We admit that in these men we did not have the ring-leader nor perhaps of the rally, but we thought that the leaders come for some drastic action to do away with rowdishy and the expulsion was the result." President Grever then asked for a resolution to the effect that the men of the University should go on a hunger strike, a violation of the Duke Kennedy offered the resolution that was adopted. While the motion to adopt the resolution was still before the house, Professor James Anderson requested questions as to the wording of the feebility's promise of a mitigation if the punishment to the students.
