URGE ALL STATE SCHOOLS TO JOIN
Prof. L, N. Flint Advises Union of All Colleges to Work for Income Bill
HOLD CLUB CONVOCATION
County Organizations Will Explain Their Purposes at Meeting Friday
"Now is the time to get the state schools together on the proposition of the Permanent Income Bill if anything is to be done this year," said Prof. L. N. Flint, in his talk before the meeting of the County Club Union recently, "and the best way to do this is to send a representative from each state school and see that they form a Union as there is at K. U.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS TUESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 5, 1916
CLUBS OPEN HEADQUARTERS
"If each school will do this and then elect a head for all of the Unions over the state, who will see that the schools are ably represented at the coming session of the legislature, the results will be wonderful."
Professor Flint showed the fault of the system used to get the bill he forre the legislature two years ago when it failed by only seven votes. This was due to the failure of the schools to co-operate. He explained how only one forty-fifth of all the state taxes went to the University and that the Permanent Invoice Bill required the advantage being that as the state grows the income of the school increases in proportion.
Willard Glasse, president of the Union, announced this morning the opening of the office of the County Club Union in the Alumni office in Fraser Hall. A conference in formation will be held. Amount Bill for the county clubs can be found here.
HOLD MEETING FRIDAY
"The new pamphlets explaining the features of the bill will be off the press before the Christmas holidays," said Glasco today. "I wish to call the attention of all delegates of the County Club Union to an unannounced meeting at the Prairie Hall, Wednesday night at seven-thirty o'clock. Every county must be represented at this meeting either by the delegate or the president of the club."
The latest boost for the Permaint Income Bill was made at the senior-alumni smoker last Wednesday, when W. Y. Morgan called attention to the fact that the University ought to have a system whereby the alumni and students could co-operate to get the plans completed before the school really needed Plans have been completed for the County Club Convocation to be held next Friday to place before the whole student body the main features of the Income Bill. Prof. C. A. Dykstra, Chancellor Strong and Willard Glasco will be the main speakers of the day. Praser Chapel will be divided into two rooms and there to enlist the occasion. All delegates to the Union will sit on the platform.

Inspects Foreign Shipments
Professor Wellhouse, assistant state entomologist, was in Topeka and Ottawa last week inspecting foreign shipments. Foreign shipments to this state cannot be opened until they have been inspected by the state entomology department. These shipments often contain disease germs that may have allowed the boat without inspection, might introduce some new disease which would cost the state thousands of dollars to exterminate.

Schedules for Year to be Made at Manhattan Friday
The coaches and managers of the Missouri Valley conference schools will meet in Manhattan Friday and Saturday for their semi-annual meeting. The participants will be questions of business that have arisen during the football season and disputed claims of various schools will be argued. Schedules for basketball, track, and baseball will be made out at that time. The University of Kansas, Chicago, E. W. Murray, for the faculty, and Coaches Olcott, Clarke and Hamilton
"Notices have not yet been sent out regarding the official business of this meeting," said Professor Murray this morning, "but the football, basketball, baseball, and track schedules will be made for the coming year. Other games will be scheduled." The conference will probably be discussed."
Student Recital
It is rumored that certain schools in the conference will ask this meeting to pass a resolution permitting the basketball schedule to permit playoff of games other than those which must be played with other teams in the conference. "I know nothing of this plan," said Professor Murray, "but it seems very as these points are considered in every meeting of the conference."
Prof. Arthur C. Terrill, head of the mining and ore dressing department, entertained an old schoolmate, Charles W. Burgess, of Joplin, at his home Thursday and Friday. They founded the College School of Minerals at the Colorado School of Mines. Mr. Burgess is now an agent for the Door Thickener company which is helping greatly in improving the ore dressing methods in the Joplin District.
Schoolmate Visits
Students in the School of Fine Arts will give a recital in North College Wednesday at four o'clock.
Where is Student Sentiment?
The Kansan has waited almost a week since the action of the Senate in suspending eight men from the University for the rest of the semester, to hear an open expression of opinion from the students in regard to the drastic steps taken.
Thus far no student has signified willingness to be quoted as either opposed to, or in favor of the action, and as far as can be learned no steps have been taken to secure a rehearing of the case before the committee.
But there is student sentiment for and against the action of the Senate whether it is openly expressed or not. What the Kansan wants is a sincere expression of student opinion from those who have been elected to represent the student body.
The Kansan has taken a stand in its editorial columns today. It wants to hear other student sentiment.
FEW STUDENTS FAIL TO PAY UP
Foster Expects Voluntary Loan Fund Contribution to Exceed $200
Few applicants for student directories have failed to contribute ten cents for their books, says George O. Foster, registrar. At noon today more than 775 had been added to the Student Loan Fund through this voluntary contribution of students and faculty members.
The distribution of books has been in progress only a day and a half. Mr. Foster now expects the total amount secured for the loan fund to far exceed his first estimate of $200.
Sixty-Four Dollars YESTERDAY When the office of the registrar closed yesterday afternoon, $64 had been paid into the fund, and contributions were equally brisk this morning.
"One business firm down town paid $5 for a directory," Mr. Foster said this morning, "and others have signified their willingness to be equally liberal."
FEW FAIL TO CONTRIBUTE "Few students and faculty members have failed to contribute. But don't think for a minute that students are the only ones who have passed the fund up.
"More faculty members, I think, than students have failed to contribute. But the contributions we have received and shall receive will add a neat little sum to the Student Loan Fund."
MRS. NEVIN OF NEW YORK BOARD OF HEALTH SPEAK!
That public health is purchasable is the contention of Mrs. Arthur Nevin, hateriologist, who speaks in Snow Hall this afternoon at fourthirty o'clock. Mrs. Nevin is well qualified to handle her subject, since she is a member of the Board of Health of New York, where she has recently been engaged in helping to stamp out the poliomyelitis epidemic, better known as infantile paralysis.

FIFTY FROSH IN FIRST PRACTICE
Coach Olcott Put First Yea Men Through Strenuous Workout Yesterday
The freshmen proved they were strong for football when over fifty "fresh" turned out to the first class football practice yesterday afternoon. Coach Olcott took charge of the "green ones" and showed them how to handle the pig skin. The assistant coaches did not appear and Coach Olcott insisted that practice that a few remarked that pitching hay was easy compared with football. After running punts, the men were put on the dummy.
It is planned to break this large fresh aggregation into three squads, each squad working under one of the formations. The second be picked Thursday, and will be drilled on the formations and plays to be used against the strong sopho-
more team
SOPHOMORE LINE-UP CLASSY
Coach Humpty Wilson announces that he has the classiest team of all in his veterinary sophomore bath. Practically the same team that played under freshmen colors last year will battle for sophomores in the annual gridron contest of the classes.
The sophomores have many veterans on the squad. Hart and Gerhart, members of last year's freshmen team are expected to hold down the game against Lakewood at end while the backfield has an abundance of material. Doc Marquis, trainer for the varsity squad, and who played at Drake a year ago, will probably play quarter. Casey and Seward, both track men and players in the senior triumph will be half-backs while Dunkley will hold the position at fullback.
Coach Wint Smith is begging for more junior material. Only seven men appeared for practice yesterday afternoon. The nature of the senior team remains a mystery. Neither team plays players have been down to the field.
WANT MORE MATERIAL
it is hoped by the coaches and those in charge that the students will come out for practice. Many times the material is discovered if this way.
Prof. A. J. Boynton, of the department of economics, spoke on the "Adamson Bill" at Plymouth Center parish house Sunday evening. Explaining the bill with reference to its probable effect on railroad transport, he emphasized the fact that the problems arising from it are not likely to be settled for at least ten months after the law goes into effect (January 1), and that even then the strike danger will not be eliminated unless special legislation is passed. The situation is increased by the belligerent attitude of the rail managers and unions. An open discussion followed his lecture.

Spent Vacation in Oklahoma
Spent Vacation in Oklahoma
Prof. E. H. S. Bailley, of the department of chemistry, has returned from Oklahoma City where he spent Thanksgiving vacation with his son. He visited the medical school of the state university, and attended the meetings of the Oklahoma State Teachers' Association. Later he visited the University of Oklahoma at Norman.
The Weather
HEALTH WEEK CALLS FOR PLENTY OF FRESH
Fair tonight and Wednesday; not much change in temperature.
Did you study last night? Was your window open? Or did you sit all cooped up in your stuffy room and yawn and gape while trying to fathom what some author meant to sav?
If you didn't have your window open you were not observing Health Week which is being held this week. We are holding Health Week meetings.
Each day has been set aside for a special observance. Monday was Open Window Day, Tuesday was Tuberculosis Day, and the remaining days of the week have appropriate titles.
SENATE TALKS DISCIPLINE TODAY
Considers Relation of Chancellor to Enforcement of Faculty Regulation
The relation of the University Senate and of the Chancellor to the enforcement of discipline in the University will be considered at a meeting of the University Senate this afternoon.
A report of the committee recently appointed to draft plans for a code of disciplinary regulations and a permanent organization within the Senate for their enforcement, will be discussed at the meeting this afternoon and it is probable a permanent disciplinary organization will result.
Final decision in matters of discipline and the enforcement of this discipline will remain in the hands of the Chancellor, but it is understood the report made by the special Senate committee recommends a permanent Senate decree for investigations to serve in advisory capacity to the Chancellor.
As the result of action by the Senate just before the Thanksgiving vacation, the students who participated in the Naughty Rally have been punished, and nothing has occurred since. The Senate should justify any further consideration of the matter, say members of that body.
LAW SCRIM FRIDAY NIGHT
Football Men and Coaches Have Been Invited
The grand march of the Law Serim will start at eight-thirty o'clock a Friday night. Flowers and cabs are not tabooed but according to the Serim managers, Jack Bond and Joe Gaita's is preferred that they be omitted.
The football men, including all members of the squad who were out at the close of the season, and the coaches have been invited.
In the receiving line will be: Chancellor and Mrs. Frank Strong, Dr. and Mrs. W. L. Burdick, Jr. Jimmy Green, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Olcott, Potsy Clark, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Higgins, Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Rice, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Moore, Jack Bond and Joe Gaitskill.
EATS AND MUSIC FEATURES OF JOURNALISTS DANCI
The second journalists' dance to be given in Robinson Gymnasium Saturday December 9, will be featured by spiny music of Haley's orchestra and by different eats. Haley has a musical affinity with the occasion and there are to be seven novel stunts introduced during the evening's entertainment.
All students are urged to get their tickets early because at the last dance given by the journalists several were not able to get tickets. The dance is open to all University students, any sort of a newspaper and seventy-five cents being the required fees.
Gives Recital Saturday
"Mrs. Edward MacDowell knows better how her great husband wanted his music to be interpreted than anyone else does," says Henry F. Pinch in the New York Evening Post, commenting on Mrs. MacDowell's recitals for her own album. Ms. MacDowell lovers in the University of Kansas will have an opportunity to verify Mr. Finch's assertion Saturday, when Mrs. MacDowill will give a free recital in Fraser Hall. Mrs. MacDowell's recitals are entirely of her music, and Mr. MacDowell one time abandoned her promising career as a pianist because she believed it was a greater duty to help foster the great creative genius that was her husband's than to interpret the works of others. Mr. MacDowell objected to this, but the world benevolently knew now being in a position to interpret intimately the works of the dead master.

HUMBLE AND CO. HUNT
PACRICIOUS POSSUM
Light Lunch Only Reward
Opossums scurried about seeking trees and underbrush in the valley of the Wakarusa last night, and well they might, for Henry Wilbur Humble, professor of law, was on their trail with an excited following of Phi Alpha Delitas to capture them dead or alive.
"Opossums in this part of the country don't 'play dead'—they beat it," said Professor Humble on being questioned as to the success of the hunt. "Of course the biggest ones got away," explained this same officer; so far "but we succeeded, nevertheless, in having countless number." Luncheon was seen after a ten-mile hike—but it didn't consist of opossums!
Art Collection is On Display
The collection of pictures now on display on the third floor of Administration building is causing much notice and admiration on the campus. The exhibit was received by Prof. W. Smith from eastern schools showing the work of the artists. The collection is composed mostly of oil paintings done from still life studies and models, although there are a number of design exhibits.
