STUDENTS HEAR OF INCOME BILL
NUMBER 63.
Urge County Clubs to Work for Legislative Measure by Meeting Representatives
GIVE STARTLING FIGURES
Chancellor Strong Compare Kansas Appropriations With Michigan and Wisconsin
"It seems to be agreed that we need a settled and permanent income for the University and other state institutions," said Prof. C. A. Dykstra, in his discussion of the Permanent Income Bill before the County Club Convocation this morning in Praser Chapel. "The proposed permanent Income Bill will allow a systematic development for K. U., and it will take the granting of the income of the state schools out of politics."
Professor Dykstra showed that to get the bill passed in the coming legislature, the legislators must be convinced that such a law will be of benefit for these state institutions. He gave the opinion of one of the legislators who said that the average legislator was merely a $3 politician for fifty days. In that time 2,000 bills come up, giving the legislature barely time to prepare what a bill would be shifted from the shoulders of the legislator.
FACTS TO REPRESENTATIVES
Professor Dykstra said that the bill would not get anywhere unless there was a strong organization over the entire state. He showed that the students themselves had it in their hand, and that the bill was to become a law.
Willard Glascio, president of the County Club Union, speaking for the student body also emphasized the fact that to do efficient work the students individually would have to see that the essential facts of the bill were brought before the legislators in their respective counties.
FIGURES ON MICHIGAN
"If the legislature knew it would be better for the state, the legislature, and the state schools it would gladly accept, they must be up to the students to see that the legislators are shown the merits of the bill. It is imperative that each student take the matter up individually with the representatives of the state."
Chancellor Strong quoted some rather startling figures showing the relative amounts of money spent by the state of Kansas and Wisconsin and Michigan on their school towns, and that the state's income was most readily shown at the University of Michigan where more than a million and a half dollars were given the school by the state but only $9,000 had to be appropriated because of the existence of the mill tax law (1912-13, 1912-13,
TO APPEAR IN CONCERT
The feature of the convocation was the order of seating, the students sitting in sections according to counties. The management of the conference was in the hands of Willard Glasco, H. C. Hangen, M. P. Wear, and H. F. Perkins.
K. U. Band Spends Fortieth Meeting in Preparation
"We believe that we are now prepared to give one of the best band concerts that the University Band has given for several years," said J. McCanesias after the band had insisted for fourth practice Wednesday night.
Heretofore, these concerts have not been very well attended, but this year some special features are offered that will make the concert well worth attending. The special features of the program will be a violin solo by Miss Edna Hopkins, a saxaphone quartet, Selection Un Ballo in Maschera, Tales from Hoffman and three sections of McCanlies questions that will be especially good.
The concert will be given in Fraser

STUDENTS SEND INVITATIONS HOME
Chance for Home Folks All Over State to Get Acquainted
Walk through the student district at 1300 any morning this week and you will see many post cards reposing among the letters in the mail boxes in the porches ready to be taken by the mail man. If you take a peek into the reading matter you will find the familiar words inviting Father and Mother to Lawrences for the next inclusive. For students are sending out the cards that were given to them by the Publicity Department.
That personal touch column is doing its work, too. Something is always added; something which the mother and mother. Occasionally the card tells Mother to come and let Father stay at home to tend to the chickens. But the majority of the cards invite both the mother and Mother to this Parents Week.
December 11 to 16 will be a regular de-acquainted week among Kansas folks. Two students, pales on the hill from each other, visit from each other as home towns go, will introduce Mothers and Fathers next week and Mothers and Fathers will exchange notes and greetings. And a better feeling will result over
Next week nothing will be strained in the matter of work. Professors will ask as hard questions as they are asking this week and their quizzes before the holidays will be as hard. Students will flunk as hard as they will. You can expect that they recite just as easily. As many dances will be held and as many hikes will be taken this next week as any week in the school year.

Hamilton's Basketeers Getting Ready for Opening of Season After Holidays
VARSITY WORKS
HARD FOR GAME
MUCH GOOD MATERIAL
Prospects Are Good for a Cham pionship Team This
Year
Now that the final curtain has been run down on the football season, interest in sports at K. U. has turned instinctively to basketball—a game that can be fun but can well afford to take stock in when it is considered that Jawahyer teams have been Valley champions most of the time and that the inventor of the very game itself is a member of our faculty. Th coaches have been busy with workouts and with daily workouts in progress, as possible to draw a line on the
Coach William Oliver Hamilton has an unrivalled record in the Missouri Valley for producing championship teams; and this year, with some exquisite coaching skills and hands, prospects are better than at any previous time. Last year the squad slumped noticeably; but the stars of that team are still in school, and there has been much good maturation from the freshmen of last season.
This year, too, Coach Hamilton has Potsy Clark, the idol of Illinois, for assistant; and Potsy has brought to the Jayhawkers his intimate knowledge of eastern tactics. Potsy has been a mentor to the practices since the close of the football season; and he promises to continue the good work.
is possible to draw a line on the
son's outlook.
POTSY COACHES
Last year's stars are showing up in much better form than they did last season. Captain Fat Nelson is in excellent condition after a summer spent in building log cabins and constructing telephone lines in the mountains of Colorado; and Gibbens, the smallest man on the squad and the biggest on the score book, is finding the hoop in sensational location of Oloffs football that to the squad—notably that of Shinn—has sent Kansas stock skyward. The football men inject a certain amount of football "rough stuff" into their play which is good in defensive work.
LONG PRACTICES
Practice last night lasted from seven o'clock until nine, during which time there was a lengthy work-out in passing the ball and in goal shooting, followed by a short one, if ever out every night of the week now. There will be no rest for the basketeers during the Christmas holidays. Instead of going home to partake of roast turkey and dressin' and such with the home folks, they then went to their weeklyouts in the gym. The early opening season on January 5 makes the Christmas practice necessary.
STICKY TAFFY ENTHUSES
Many Women Buy Tags for Junior Taffy-T舞蹈
Miss Enthusiasm, garbed in her best bib and tucker, is all ready to greet the women of the University at the Junior Girls' Taffy-Dance in Robinson Gymnasium, Saturday after three from until five-thirty, o'clock.
This is the first women's mixer of the year given by a class organization and well-managed plans promise a time of fun for all. Since taffy pulling will be one of the principal features of the day, easy clothes will be worn throughout. Constant smiles are the only requirements to meet the guest of honor.
SURE- IT'LL BE A FINE LITTLE SHOW
Those who do not dance will find plenty to do and good accented music to play. If you are on the Hill is invited. If she has not her tag, she can get one at the door.
Prof. E, W Murray, faculty representative, and Coaches Oclark, Clark and Hamilton are attending a Missouri Valley Conference meeting at Manhattan today and tomorrow. Schedules for basketball, track, and baseball will be arranged at this event and will include competitions between the various Valley teams will come up for settlement by the officials.
Attending Valley Conference
Senior Girls Mixer Tuesday
The first senior girls mixer of the year will be held Tuesday evening at 7:30 in the Women's Rest Room in Fraser. This mixer is to be a song fest. "Come prepared to sing college songs," said Carolyn McNutt, president of the mixer committee.
Law Scrim In F. A. U. Hall To night One of the Big Events of Social Season
FOOTBALL SQUAD GUESTS
Blushing Ad Lindsey Will be a Headliner on the Elaborate Program
The students of the School of Law will pay their annual tribute to the football team tonight with the Law Scriem, one of the biggest formal parties of the year, in F. A. U. Hall. Preparation for the party has been completed and every indication presages one of the best scriens in recent years.
Every man on the football squad at the end of the season will be a guest of honor of the laws tonight, as well as the coaches and that grand old man of K. U. football—"Uncle Jimmy" Green. The pikersin artists of the past season will dischard their moleskins for dress suits, and men in red shorts. A month ago as mud-covered heroes will tonight be social lions attired in regulation dancing duds and vast expanses of white shirt bosoms.
A GREAT LITTLE SHOW
And while the football men themselves, attract a great deal of attention, there will be that "female of the species"—the K. U. co-ed--present in all the gloriousness of her new party gown. The laws, too, should attract some attention—especially if they wear their canes in connection with high hats and evening o'cans. And then there's be Ad Lindsey, the blushing captain of the 1916 Jay-hawkers—the man who'll get crimson shoes for his birthday. Then him on beating Nebraska and say: "Oh! So you're Ad Lindsey!" It'll be a great show, all right, all right!
So far as the party itself is concerned, Managers Bond and Gaitskill promise all sorts of exceptional features. Haley's six-piece saxophone orchestra from Kansas City will fulfill that mission; it will be a four course supper served in the U.A. D. uining hall; and decorations, programs, et cetera ad infinitum will be of the super-excellence of the superb. The party will begin at 8:00 o'clock with a reception in honor of the football team; the grand march will begin at 8:15; and dancing will be the order from 8:30 until 2:00 a.m. Saturday.
Though the party is given by the laws, any student in the University may attend by paying the five-dollar admission price. Those who did not secure tickets today can get them at the door tonight.

VACATION MAY BE ONE DAY LONGER
If Chancellor Grants January 2, Students Need Not Travel on New Year's Day
FIX NO PENALTY FOR CUTS
Individual Instructors Will Inflict Own Punishment for Cuts
The possibility of extending the Christmas vacation one day in order to permit students who otherwise night be compelled to travel New Year's Day in order to reach Law School, the school being considered by Chancellor Frank Strong. The power for such a prolongation of the holidays rests with the chancellor and his cabinet, to whom it was referred at a recent University Senate, but that body hesitates to establish such a precedent.
The vacation as scheduled will be one day longer than specified by the University calendar, founded on a rule of a former board of regents, which included the cabinet, doubts the advisability of extending it another day. On another such occasion which occurred during the time Dr. Strong has been Chan-ten University, not even the one day was granted; classes were resumed New Year's Day.
EXTRA DAY MAY BE GRANTED
ENTR DAY MAY BE GRANTED
"I shall consider the matter carefully, and extend my good wishes," and I may devise some means of extending the vacation one more day."
As the Senate has not yet acted upon the matter of punishment for pre-holiday and post-holiday cuts, such absences from class before or after the holiday will be dealt with by individual instructors. This question has been discussed at two meetings of the Senate, but, as no definite action has been taken, and there will be no further meeting holidays, it is probable that there will be no regulation effective in regard to cuts for this vacation.
PROFITS TO DEAL WITH CUTS
However, as in the past, instructors will be free to do as they choose with students who cut classes. Faculty members whom this question were referred were unanimous in advising that students who may wish to spend New Year's day at home, apply for excuses from their instructors and the dean of the school in which they are enrolled.
