INCOME BILL UP
IN CHAPEL FRIDAY
Important Issue Will be Explained Fully at Convocation
TO REPRESENT THE STATE
Each County Will Have Section For Its Students—Good Program
The County Club Convocation will be held tomorrow morning at 10:10 in Fraser Chapel, Chancellor Strong, Prof. C. A. Dykstra and Willard Glaeser for the Permanent Undergraduate Bill to the University. The band will furnish music.
The chapel will be divided into counties to represent the state, each county being named so that the students may sit under the banner of their own county. The western part of the state is called the chapel, the northern part, in the northern part of the Chapel and so on.
WORK TOGETHER FOR BILL
Circulars describing the main features of the Income Bill will be given out at convocation. According to W. Y. Morgan, lieut-governor, and E. T. Hackney, of the Board of Administration, the success of the Permanent Income Bill depends largely upon the interest shown in it by the students of the state institutions. Pres. H. J. Waters, of the Agricultural College he withdrew his will in cooperation with the University of Kansas in getting the bill before the legislature in favorable shape.
K. U. BACKSLIDING
The Men's Student Council at Manhattan has also stated its willingness to work with K. U. and the other state schools in connection with body towards the proposed bill will be determined to a great extent at this meeting tomorrow.
At the meeting of the County Club Union last night attention was called to the fact that the University has been building new buildings years ago, while at the same time the enrollment has increased 50 per cent. It was pointed out that North College, Snow Hall, and the Journalism Building, all three new buildings are needed.
WILL CALL ON LEGISLATORS
Other universities with relatively the same enrollment as the University of Kansas have not only many more, but far more adequate buildings than K. U. and their teaching staffs. But in these states there is a law similar to the one provided by the proposed Permanent Income Bill.
Paul R. Greever, president of the Men's Student Council, suggested at the meeting that a committee from the Council and the Union work together to form a committee to serve as senator in every county in the state be interviewed before the session of the coming state legislature. Every delegate to the County Club Union is requested to select five men and women to fill the role, because the legislators from their county.
Any information about the Income Bill or the county clubs can be had at the new office of the County Chai in the alumni office, Fraser Hall.
WILL CONSIDER REQUEST
Disciplinary Committee to Discuss Petition of Council
The disciplinary committee of the University Senate received the petition of the Men's Student Council this afternoon and will consider it at a special meeting as soon as possible, according to Prof. D. L. Lee, dean of the university's journalism department. No action could be taken at the time the petition was presented today but it is probable that the request will be considered at once. After a careful consideration of the request the committee will report to the Senate and in the process will grant a special meeting of the Senate will be called next week.
"I am glad to see that the sentiment of the student body is against such rallies as the one we are called upon to deal with," said Peer Grosz of the disciplinary committee. "We will give the request of the Men's student Council our careful consideration as soon as possible. However, the committee has argued in favor of the disciplinary situation before the action was taken last week.
"Before taking that action we consulted with forty universities and colleges over the country. This was the punishment given in most of these schools while the president was administered. In those cases, the students are expelled and cannot enter any university in the country."

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 7, 1916.
HIGH STANDARDS ARE NECESSARY
David R. Porter Tells Students of the Value of a Standard
"The Value of a Standard," was the subject of a heart to heart talk given last night by David R. Porter, chairman of the Y. M. C. A. international committee, before the members of the University Y. M. C. A. and other students.
"The greatest danger that the average student faces is the peril of not having a high standard," said Mr. Porter. "We see student here that are satisfied if they merely 'get by.' There is the type of a student who comes from the little two-by-four high schools where they have been considered teachers." He teaches that type anything. They think that they know it all and as a result fail to make good either on the athletic field or in their courses.
"There is the other type who come with very high ideals and are willing to sacrifice and pay the price to reach them. There are two factors that we ought to consider in forming our horizons, namely dimensions or the breadth of our horizon. Some of our horizons are just as wide as our hat brims, frats, university or states. It is time the students began to think in world terms.
URGES HIGH STANDARDS
SHOULD THINK IN WORLD TERMS
"We are living in the most tragic year in the world since the time Jesus Christ was nailed on the Cross. And we need a standard as broad as the world to contemplate the enormous amount of suffering that is and will exist in Europe during these next few weeks, we are watching a *Europa* on the Cross."
"Our standard must not be only broad but also high and lofty. We get most of our standards from the crowd we associate with."
FEW CHANGES IN RULES
New Basketball Rules Vary Little From Last Year
"No great changes have been made in the 1917 basketball rules," said Doctor Naismith, the originator of basketball, in an interview after his return from the conference of basketball officials in Kansas City.
The most important change in the rules this year is in the position o. the center. The new rule states: "If the ball is at center, the center is at liberty to take any position he may choose as long as he is on his side of the circle and has his hand behind his back. Also, the center will be in the ball after the ball has been tapped."
A few other changes have been made, but are of a minor character, such as the requiring of a back board which must be away from the wall and the permission granted to the referee to ask for the assistance or opinion of the umpire, but neither can contradict the decision of the other.
This morning Doctor Blackmar attended a conference called by Gov.ernor Arthur Capper for the purpose of considering the revision of state and county governments, and matters of efficiency in government.
Professor Blackman went to Topeka from Wichita, where he has been a professor of the Kansas Conference of Charities and Corrections. He gave a talk before this body Tuesday night on the form of Prisoners Through Labor."
Dean Blackmar will return to Lawrence tomorrow morning. Profts. Cumberland and W$_2$. B. Codenhafer have had charge of his classes during his absence.
Dean F. W. Blackmar will deliver an address tonight before the Public Service Association in Topcka on "The Permit or Indeterminate Franchise."

CLEVER FOOTBALL PROGRAMS
Sanitation Committee Meets
Many unique features have been planned for the party, but Managers Bond and Gaitskill refuse to disclose them. One secret has leaked out—the programs will be in the shape of small footballs. It is said that the leather covers for them were secured inside the ballrooms and footballs used by the K. U. squad during the season which has just closed. Tickets for the event have been selling rapidly, and the managers expect a crowd which will fill the small F. A. U. Hall. Many additional tickets were sold yesterday when it was announced that the party would be held in F. A. U. rather than in the downtown hall is much superior to that in Robinson.
The sanitation committee of the University Health Service is meeting in Room 102 of Dyce Museum this afternoon at 4:30. This committee has been meeting in the gym but the difficulty of finding a vacant room there necessitated changing the place of meeting. Supervision over the sanitation on the University campus is in the hands of this committee.

ENGAGES IN STATE SERVICE
The state service work of the University should especially interest anamnesis and public health, the University is conducting the field work of the State Entomological Commission; that the University maintains laboratories for chemical and bacteriological examination of water; that the University is engaged in the examination of the clays of the state and the determination of their fitness for the fine and coarse textures; that the bacteriology is engaged in study of chemical problems of interest to industries of Kansas; that by legislative enactment it is the duty of the University to examine samples of food and drugs for their purity; that the University has in its custody the sets of standard weights and measures of the states; that they design a state sealer, who is a member of the faculty, tests weights and measures in enforcing the laws governing commercial standards, and lastly that there is an engineering experiment station in which numerous experiments with Kansas building stone, brick and stone for paving, the purification of sewage, the properties of soil, the aeration conditions of metering appliances for municipal services are being conducted.
CARRIES ON SURVEYS
Several surveys carried on by the University will interest the parents if they accept the students' invitation to visit here. A biological survey of the waters of botany, zoology, and entomology. A geological survey is being carried on through field expeditions sent out annually. The surveys of the waters of the state is being made by the University in conjunction with the United States Geological Survey and the State Board of Health.
The museums of the University never fail to attract favorable criticism. The entomological collections comprise about 26,000 species and 300,000 specimens; the botanical collection contains 10,000 identified and labeled specimens; geology is represented by specimens in economic, petrographic and mineralogical groups; the zoological collections are rich and varied; the classical museum contains a collection of casts of Greek and Roman sculpture, fasciate reproductions, artistry, original coins and photographs.
MUSEUM IS OF INTEREST
The geologists have invented a new harmless game to entertain themselves between classes. They first take all the hats and caps from the hooks on the wall and then see if they can land on the distance of ten to fifteen feet. Francis "Shorty" Martin holds the "record up-to-date."
The work of the University Extension Department should prove interesting to the mothers and fathers and the students should take their parents on an inspection trip to this department.
Geologists at Play
The semi-monthly meeting of the Mathematics Club will be held in Room 103, Ad Building, Monday afternoon at four-thirty.

MAN WHO NEVER CHARGED
IS IN THE UNIVERSITY
An interesting fact has been discovered in the character of Julius Krebs, a junior engineer who lives near the U.S. border should feel proud of, and he probably is, because few college students can boast of the same thing. Krebs has never in his entire life charged any-one—not even so small a bill as five cents.
Thus the University of Kansas sets the record for achievement in the fact that it possesses such a student, and challenges the other universities of the country to produce a man who can equal the record of Krebs.
WANT WOMEN TO PAY PARTY DUES
Managers Ask That Junior Women Pay Own Prom Dues
The women of the junior class should feel that the Prom is their party in the opinion of Howard Fleeson and Harry Montgomery, Prom managers. "We are making appointments with the sororities and other organizations," said Fleeson this morning, "in an effort to impress upon the junior women that they should not allow the men to bear all the responsibilities for their years the men as a rule paid not only their own dues but those of their partner, a condition which is hardly consistent with modern ideals of sex equality."
The junior dues are $3.00, paymen may be deferred till after the holidays but the managers will circulate all students, who are planning to attend the party, will be asked to sign. These blanks will be for the purpose of ascertaining approximately how many intend to go to the Prom.
Some have expressed surprise that the date of the Prom has been set so early but the managers explain that this is due to mid-year examinations, basketball and Lent, which interfere with elaborate social activities from the middle of January to the latter part of April.
ALUMNI PROUD OF TEAM
Chicago Association Sends Best Wishes to Players
The Chicago Alumni Association, K. U.'s most active alumni association, is proud of the football team. The following letter was received yesterday from Homer Hoyt, president of the Kansas. By the editor of the Kansan.
"We were naturally disappointed over the outcome of the Missouri game, but nevertheless we all thought that this year's team was one of which we could all be proud. We have not yet learned the details of the game, but we know from the frequent football upsets of the past season that we have the team. It is almost impossible for a team to win all its big games. Kansas undoubtedly had to use a lot of plays to beat Nebraska which showed her hand to Missouri. I know in 1912 Kansas won from Missouri because she lost a hard-luck game to Nebraska. The team had something in reserve for the last game which he or she unprepared for. The 1916 K. U. team was the same one. We send every man on it our best wishes. Here's to the team."
Sincerely yours,
HOMER HOVT.

PETITION SENATE FOR NEW HEARING
Men's Student Council Would Present Reasons for Reconsideration of Sentence
REFERRED TO COMMITTEE
Chancellor Strong Sends Council Resolution to Senate Committee
A request for permission to present reasons for a reconsideration of the punishment inflicted on the eight men recently suspended from the University for participation in the Naughty Committee, and a representative committee of the University Senate by the Men's Student Council this morning, as the result of a discussion of the matter at a meeting of the Council last night. The request was addressed to the Senate, but Chancellor Strong, to whom it was prepared, requested that the Senate committee, on whose recommendation the Senate unanimously acted.
"The disciplinary committee thoroughly investigated the matter before it made its report to the Senate, and after several meetings that body unanimously adopted the recommendations embodied in the report of the committee." Doctor Strong said this report is "the most important" the proper medium through which obtain a reconsideration of the question, and therefore I recommended to the Student Council that it confer with that body."
STUDENT COUNCIL ACTS
Following is the request handed the chairman of the committee by the Council.
We, the Men's Student Council of the University of Kansas, submit the following petition to the Senate of the University to urge that the sentiment arising in the student body over the fact that eight men were expelled from the remainder of the semester, with a loss of the seminary, be incorporated in the rally on October 27.
After due consideration and investigation, we, the Men's Student Council, join the student body in the belief that the measure taken was too severe and we recommend a reconsideration of your action.
The Men's Student Council is opposed to any such unauthorized rally, and we believe that the student body is opposed to such and would approve of some less drastic form of punishment.
We ask the privilege to appear before the Senate and present our reasons for a reconsideration of the punishment inflicted.
Signed,
Paul R. Greever,
President.
