UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
VOLUME XIV.
WHEN FATHER AND MOTHER VISIT US
Telephone the Kansan So All Can Learn About Folks From Home
MANY PLACES TO CALL
Various Service Plants and University Hospital Offers Field for Investigation
The Kansan wants the names of the parents who are visiting in Lawrence for Fathers' and Mothers' Week. The minute Dad and Mother get here, the Kansan wants to tell about the folks. Whether *o* not parents come for Fathers' and Mothers' Week, they probably will begin to realize the interest the University is taking in them and their children. They will appreciate the personal service being provided by the University in state work.
TO STAY DESPITE WEATHER
The University is showing what it is trying to accomplish in the way of service to the citizens of the state. If parents should not come to school, they should inform them that six more moms are left in which they can visit.
TO STAY DESIRED
The weather is a fairly discouraging one and we desire to see the University in its work clothes, but a few of them already have come and are coming. Some of them expect to remain only for a day or so while others will stay for the week and go home with the children for vacations.
HEALTH FACTORY AWAITS THEM When Father and Mother are here, be sure and take them to the University Hospital. The nurses there will be glad to show them the equipment, the dispensary, and the way in which the many bright rooms are teeming with that happen to students every day. Formerly, if a student became ill, sprained a wrist, or broke a bone, he had either to call a physician, or patch up the break himself. Now it is different. A small fee of two dollars is paid in the fall. Then whenever anything happens, the student goes to the Hospice, receives medical attention, Let Father and Mother see how well the health of the son and daughter is being cared for.
HEALTH FACTORY AWAITS THEM
DILLON LIKES TO ANSWER QUERIES
Nothing Pleases Him More Than to be Object of Verbal Broadside
"Just a moment, Mr. Dillon," interrupted a student, "where you do you consider the proper place for an editorial column?"
such questions and interruptions in the course of an address would disgust the ordinary individual but they have the opposite effect on Charles Darwin, author of The Carpenter farm publications, who is the guest of the University this week. In fact, nothing pleases Mr. Dillon more than to be the object of his attention and his answers with his honest opinion derived from years of experience.
ADDRESSED THREE CLASSES
Mr. Dillon addressed three classes in the journalism department this morning, a feat which required almost steady talking from 9:30 to 12:30. Yet the able editor never tired of his job and felt ready to continue the routine in the other two days he will remain at the University. The field of journalism in which Mr. Dillon is lecturing is a language and the wide expanse through which this particular field furnishes him with an inexhaustible supply of material from which to choose subjects for lectures.
NUMBER 65.
LECTURES AGAIN TOMORROW
This afternoon Mr. Dillon is delivering a public address in Fraser Chapel on the subject "Newpapers and the Public". In Snow Hall tomorrow afternoon at 4:30p. Mr. Dillon will give an interview to the "Professional Man and His Paper". This lecture as well as the one this afternoon will be open to the general public and the material will be handled in such a way that the average person with little knowledge of the technical side of Newpapers will find the idea of asking questions during the lecture will be carried out tomorrow.
The members of the Kansan Board will give a Christmas dinner at the Oread Cafe tonight in honor of Mr. Hobson, who is being honored by Chi, honorary journalistic fraternity, will give a smoker and feed for Mr. Dillon at the Sigma Nu house.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. TUESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 12, 1916.
"Y. M." CHRISTMAS PARTY
TO BE AFTER HOLIDAYS
"There will be no Christmas party given by the M. Y. C. a this week," said Secretary Wedell this morning. It was thought that there might be such a party but after looking over the schedule it was found that there were already too many social events and cuizies planned for the week.
The party nad been scheduled in the "K*" books for December 6th and was popped until this week. How was it popped until we now until a few weeks after Christmas.

SOUR OWL EDITORIAL BOARD IS ANNOUNCED
NO CHANGE FOR 1917 SCHEDULE
*ernest Stateler, speaking from the view-points of captains, will make short talks, on the work done by the captains, at the ball games. The captains-elect will also talk.*
Rinker and Dillon appear to be the most likely candidates for the capa-
tiancy of the cross-country team. Rinker will be a senior next year and
Rainier will be a junior next year, three in practically all of the distance
meets. Dillon will be a junior next year. His showing this fall has been
remarkable. His best showing was made at the Missouri Valley meet,
which drew third among the Kansas runners.
"K" letters for the two teams will not be given out until the football smoker, Wednesday night. There will probably be more letters given to them this year than last due to the consistent work done by the men this fall.
The race for the caputaincy of the football team appears to be a tossup between Frost, Fast, and Nielsen. Frost was one of the few men who made a place in the line out of the team at tackles. His work at tackle has been consistent throughout this fall. Nielsen has had his own at the fullback position this year in spite of the many men out for his position. His playing has been good in that position, many times instilled the same spirit into the line. Fast has been a brilliant open field runner and always speedy. His work was best in the Nebraska and his dashing off the team has added asset to the team this season.
THREE MEN UP FOR CAPTAINCY
Six new cities have been added to the membership of the League of Kansas Municipalities since the first of December. This makes a total of 132 cities in the largest membership the League has ever had. Last year there were 132 cities in the League at this time of the year. Clay Center in Clay county, Manchester in Dickinson county, Stavens county, Stevens county, Sedgwick in Sedgwick county, and Gridley in Coffey county are the new members.
Same Teams Are Included In List as Were Played During Past Season
TWO COMERS ON TEAM
Six Cities Join League
DATES ARE REARRANGED
Ames, Kansas Aggies, and Oklahoma Games Will be Played a Week Later
The football season next year will be another long one, ten week-end being available for the schedule makers. A Missouri Valley conference ruling limits the number of football games to eight for K. U. so that there will be two off dates, one coming between the Nebraska and Missouri games as well. The opponent will be the big home contests for Kansas, the "Homecoming" being on November 17 at the time of the Nebraska clash.
Kansas will meet one more game on the gridiron in 1917 as it did in 1916, Manager W. O. Hamilton stated this morning. He announced the tentative schedule which includes several shifts. The Washburn game, played heretofore in November just before the Nebraska game has been shifted to October 20 as the third game of the season. The important events contest will be played two weeks later than in 1916, the 1917 date being October 27. Kansas also contests also are thrown a week later. The date of the Normal game will be either September 29 or October 13 with the Illinois contest October 6.

UNIVERSITY BAND PLAYS THURSDAY
Elaborate Program Has Been Prepared for Annual Concert
The University band will give its annual concert, Thursday night in Fraser Chapel at 8 o'clock. J. C. McCanies, better known as Mac, promises that this will be the best program a K. U. band ever rendered. A number of the selections were written by the band leader himself.
Other popular offerings of the evening will be the numbers, "Serenade" and "Andante e Mazurka" written by Mr. McCanes. The last number will be the already popular piece, "Our Uncle Jimmy." The words and music came from K. U.'s popular band-master
The program consists of eleven numbers in all. Miss Ednah Hopkins, an accomplished violinist of the School of Fine Arts will be the soloist of the evening. A Saxophone player will be another feature of the program.
BASKETEERS LOOK STRONG
Varsity Squad Shows Up Well In Scrimmage
Playing with a zip and dasht that brushed the freshmen off the floor, the Varsity basketball squad took revenge during drugging they received Wednesday.
Bill Weaver, who was the best center in the Valley during his years with K. U.'s championship teams of 1912-13-14 says, "The prospects for a successful team looks much better than it did at that time and largest bunch of men I have seen out for the team in some time."
The Varsity men will have no vacation this year as the team will have to work through the holidays in order to prepare for games at Ames on January 18 and 19.
AMERICAN RELIEF WORK
EXPLAINED BY PATTerson
Last night the squads were divided into three teams, each bunch playing twenty minutes. In every encounter the Varsity came out with the long end of the score. Good guarding featured in both squads but the regulars had a decided advantage in team work and speed.
Some of the new men who showed up well in scrummage were, Shinn, Matthews, Johnson, and Lindsey. With five men of last year's squad back and a strong bunch from the freshman squad of last year, the Jayhawkers' prospects for a successful 1917 basketball season looks especially bright
How the six American Relief Societies work in France was explained by D. L. Patterson, of the department at the Uniarian Church last night.
"Lawrence has a local interest in these societies, since $1,500 has been raised here for their support," said Professor Pintertown. "Then too, there is a chance that four or four Kansas boys are in the ambulance service on the front."
VACATION ENDS NEW YEAR'S DAY
Chancellor's Cabinet Decides Holidays Are Already Long Enough
The Christmas vacation ends with New Year's Day and classes will take up Tuesday morning, January 2. This was the decision reached yesterday afternoon at the meeting of the Chancellor's cabinet, which is composed of the heads of the different schools.
QUESTION OF CUTS UNSETTLED
The University has taken no action on the matter of cuts from classes on the campus, so that it will be given instructions, so that problem will be left to the individual instructors. The Senate has discussed the question of cuts at vacation time at several meetings, but no action has been taken and the Senate has said that it is probable that a meeting will be called before the holidays.
BEGINS EASIEST POSSIBLE DATE
"Since the Christmas vacation is so long this year—nearly two weeks and a half," said Chancellor Strong. "The holiday cabin did not deem it expedient to grant the extra day holiday. The vacation this year is starting at the earliest possible date and next year the vacation will extend past New Year, so the problem will not confront us then."
QUESTION OF CUTS UNSETTLED
The agitation for the extra day was started last week by students who live considerable distance from Lawrence and will have to travel New Year's Day in order to get here for Tuesday's classes.
VEREIN TO GIVE COMEDY
"Schuesebund" (The Bunch of Keys), a one-act comedy, will be given at the annual Christmas meeting of the German Verein, Wednesday evening at 7:30, in Room 313 Fraser Hall.

The Oliga habitually engages the宫廷 habitually careless. Olga cleans and straightens her house frantically, in preparation for the visit. The aunt arrives. Olga discovers, to her horror, that she has lost her bunch of keys, and as a result cannot unlock her property. She enquires about the search for the keys give rise to a number of amusing situations. The keys are found at last in the waste basket.

BATTERED WAR RELIC RESTS IN MUSEUM.
Tried Too Large a Shot
In an obscure corner of Dyche Museum, on the second floor, lies a relic of Civil War times. It is an old model cannon. Both wheels of the carriage are off and lie in the corner. A large hole in one side of the barrel testifies to a too large shot Battered and in a dilapidated condition, the old cannon rests there, probably noticed by few.
WATER IN THE OCEAN?
IT DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT
"What is it that we always find in the hese?" Doctor Moore asked of his elephant.
Doctor Moore was discussing some of the minerals that might be found in various places under various conditions. It so happened that he was talking about shells and lime formations in the ocean.
Hemphill, who was half asleep am, had only a vague idea of the answer. He didn't come upon the correct answer was quickly given out by the instructor.
