NUMBER 95
OPPOSES EXCLUSION OF NON-RESIDENTS
State Should Welcome Stud ents from Other States, Chancellor Says.
WOULD AFFECT 275 HERE
And Kansas  Sends, 1,200  Annually
Away to school in Other Places
The proposal to charge exhobitant fees to students coming to the University from other states meets the University's approval of Chancellor Frank Strong.
"Kansas cannot possibly be benefited by the passing of such a bill," he said. "In the first place, Kansas is constantly offering inducements to people outside the state, to move students out of Kansas and other industries here. This is an expense to Kansas, but it is also good advertising. When a student comes to this state to attend the University, he pays the tuition fee of twenty dollars. Since the cost to Kansas for the education of each student is $150, the cost to the state for each year of his education is $155. However it must be taken into consideration that, during his residence here, the student spends approximately five hundred dollars each year. Although this sum does not go into the educational fund, it does contribute to the general wealth of the person he is venting to make his home in the state in which he is educated.
"Of course," he concluded, "if it were possible for all states to arrive at a uniform rate of tuition, it would make little difference whether the rate were high or low. There is no way for Kansas to gain, however, if she raises her tuition, while other states maintain a low rate."
Registrar Foster Onposed to It
"If this proposal becomes a law," said Registrar Geo. O. Foster this morning, "it will tend to drive away a number of students from our state."
face to the tax payers of the state as to expenditures. The institution will be run at practically the same cost as the institution. Students as it will without them. Not only will it tend to drive away a number of students but it will tend to cause them to enroll as residents in reality they are non-residents."
"Students from other states should be encouraged to come to Kansas instead of being excluded," says Prof. Brennan. "We want students between states tends to eliminate provincialism and should be advocated. Kansas would be the loser by a law that would keep men out of the University of Kansas."
Last year 275 non-resident students were enrolled in the University, 188 of these were from Missouri, 48 from Oklahoma, the remainder scattered. More than one thousand two hundred students from Kansas were enrolled in schools in other states.
"On January 22 inquiry was made through the information bureau of the state library regarding the attendance of non-resident students at the State University, State Agricultural College, and the State Normal College, and are authorized by the president of the Board of Educational Administration.
Under the heading, "You Can Save the Tax Payers of Kansas $60, 000 per Annum," the circular which lists the taxes paid to the tax-deducted cargo contained, the following matter:
$165 Yearly to Teach You
"Attendant non-resident students at the State University year 1914, 282; State Agricultural College non-resident students at Emporia non-resident students, 64; making a total of non-resident students attending these three institutions of 487. The average cost of maintenance per student at the Agricultural College was in excess of $165 each, at the state Normal the average cost was $109 per student. The students pay approximately $30.50 each to the state, or a net loss to the tax payers at the State Normal. The students attending K. U, and the Agricultural College of $135 each, making a total of $50,106. The sixty-four non-resident students attending the State Normal pay to the state, each making a loss to the tax payers of $89 each or a total of $6,966.
"The grand total loss to the tax-payers of the state of Kansas for educating non-resident students is $62,800 per annum. This is to say that teachers in the treatment unit for buildings in which to house these non-resident students.
"Why should the taxpayers of Kansas be compelled to pay this

Faculty Workers to Meet
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS THURSDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 18, 1915.
Women Practice Wednesday Girl's Glee Club practice has been postponed from Monday until Wednesday.
$62,800 for educating non-resident students? Why should not each non-resident student who attends our state institutions pay what it costs them to attend school? Do the students within our borders? The passage of such a law would reduce this outside attendance and not require the tax payers to build more buildings to cost the taxpayers more equipment and more for instruction.
"Here is a chance to save the tax payers over $60,000 per annum without injury to any Kansas institutions."
2783 Reasons for Granting Appropriations
As students of the University of Kansas, we are not likely to forget why the University is asking the legislature to appropriate more than a million and a half dollars for its use during the next two years.
We know that there is only one reason.
Not buildings for the sake of buildings.
Not more ground for the sake of a larger campus.
Not maintenance merely to keep the plant running
Not bounding for the same of buildings.
More ground moved for the sake of a larger campus.
We know there is only one case.
Not buildings for the sake of buildings.
We are the reasons for this large budget, and there are 2783 of us.
But US, 2783 of us.
And 'behind us' are our 'parents and the other' 'kindred' 'children' who wish something as possible to amount to something—to be worth something to the state.
Eighty per cent of us have met the proposition half way by earning part or all of our expenses while in school. Those of us who are doing this feel that the University is not unreasonable in asking the state to spent $175 a year on each of us. Most states do more than that.
Those of us whose parents are paying our bills feel just as strongly that we ought to have as good advantages as the students at other state universities. Our parents feel that way about it.
We are not likely to forget that we are the reason why the University is asking an increased appropriation, and we hope the legislature will not forget the reason.
Somehow we feel that if they remember us, they will give us what we need.

THEY ARE HARSH, NOT SOFT
Kennedy Says No Soft Words About "A Professor's Love Story"
According to Duke Kennedy, manager of "A Professor's Love Story" the Kansan headline writer who spoke of senior play rehearsals as "polishing soft words" has another guess coming. "As a matter of fact, says Kennedy, he roughing up Kansans in a few of their efforts to get everything ready. No soft words for me in this business."
Great trouble has been experienced in securing a big box and drop curtain that is required for the big scene in the last act. The resourcefulness of the management has been needed to secure the rolling Mill and the Bowersock scenery man are getting together at last and will produce the desired curtain.
Rehearsals for the play are now being conducted nightly on the stage at the Bowersock, and the finishing touches imparted to the cast's execution by Prof. Arthur Mitchell, director of the play. Seats go on sale Friday, and a large advance sale is expected.

At present there are nearly three hundred men and women enrolled in the different courses offered by the department. Many of these are separated into divisions for Professor MacMurray believes that large classes can not be handled most efficiently.
Courses in the public speaking department at the University of Kansas have become so popular that an increase in the faculty of this division will be necessary to adequately handle the students next year, according to Prof. Arthur MacMurray, head of the department.
He thinks that growth is certain, for plans to offer a special course for law students.
"The increase this year has been one hundred per cent over last year and should it grow in proportion I believe so," said Professor MacMurray today.
