UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
NUMBER 94.
WANTS $65,000 FOR HEATING AND POWER
Board Asks Legislature for New Equipment at KU
PRESENT SYSTEM SINCE 1883
Original Cost Was $16,000 But Additions Have Been Made
A new heating and power plant for the University of Kansas was asked for by the Board of Administration in a bill introduced into the legislature yesterday by Senator B. E. Wilson of Jefferson County.
The bill asks for $65,000 with which to install the new plant. The present building was erected in 1887 by the state at a cost of $16,000, was once occupied by the university, be repaired and built onto several times. The power plant is in the same building with the mechanical engineering laboratory and serves the double purpose of providing power to the University and affording laboratory apparatus for experiments.
Should the bill be passed, the new building will bring the two plants under the same roof and thus do away with the waste of time the superintendent of buildings and grounds now experiences in tramping from one end of the campus to the other.

BOARD TOO HIGH AT K. U.?
If State Furnished Meals at Cost, More Students Could Attend School
K. U. undergraduates are demanding the same advantages in the way of boarding facilities as are provided in the state institutions at Hays Normal and at Pittsburg. At Hays good board is provided for the students at a cost of but $7 per person. The breakfast and supper are furnished to the students at 15 cents each with a cafeteria lunch at noon.
In contrast, the men and women registered at Lawrence are compelled to pay $4 or more per week for their board at privately supported eating houses since the state has made no provision. The expense as far as foodstuffs are concerned is little higher in Lawrence, for the costs tive at home, the operation on easis basis, is noble to supply food to the athletes for less than the boarding houses charge for a poorer diet.
Conrad Hoffman, secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., thinks that the state could make it possible for many men, now unable to attend college, to stay at the institution by establishing a self supporting system of eating houses. "This would also make it impossible or the downtown people to eat in the restaurant environment" he Hoffman today, "for they would have to compete with the University equipment. At present board is higher at K. U. than at towns of a similar size where physical conditions are different."
MOTT WILL LEAD K.U.
IN GREAT CAMPAIGN
Workers of International Reputation to Take Students in Hand
The largest gathering of famou social and religious workers ever assembled on an American college camp will push work with the students o the University of Kansas during Mot Meeting Week, March 2-8. In addition to men of international distinction such as John R. Mott and Raymond Robbins, men promising to attend before campus audiences in an effort to foster the slogan "Every K. U. Man and Woman a Christian."
Although these men have, as individuals, visited and worked on nearly every University campus in this country, no institution before has been able to arrange for their appearance at one time. John R. Mott, E. Richardson, and Mabina and A. J. Elliott, all on the K. U. program, are in the foremost rank of American university lecturers at the present time.
Refused Diplomatic Post
To have refused the American air
bassadorship to China that he might
continue his chosen work with the
young people is the unique distinction
of Leader Mott, General Secretary of
the World's Student Christian
Federation. Mott has gained international fame as an orator, diplomat,
and lecturer. Secondly, Mott is
E. K. Foster, a man said to have visited the past five years is said to have visited 35,000
fraternity and club houses in different institutions.
The entire State Board of Administration consisting of E. T. Hackney former Governor Hoch and Mrs. C. G. Lewis will come to the K. U. campus for these meetings. Another former Governor of the state, W. R. Stubbs, will preside at several discussions. Other Kansas men, now in public life, who have studied the students with all the vigor of the "Kansas Language" is leutenant-Governor W. Y. Morgan, editor of the Hutchinson news; Henry Allen, editor of the Wichita Beacon; and H. L. Heinzman, a K. U. graduate, now international secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
Special meetings for women, in addition to the general meetings, have been arranged. Among the women speakers on the program are Miss Lucy Riggs, student secretary for the US House of Representatives and Miss Myra Witherls, a student Y. W. C. A., secretary now under appointment for work in India.
Meetings for Women, too
All fraternity men of the Mott campaign committee will meet at 4:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in Myers Hall. Arrangements will be made for the distribution of the campaign speakers among the members. The attendance of every fraternity man on the committee is necessary.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 17, 1915.
Mott Fraternity Men to Meet
Beginning today the library in the Chemistry Building will be open every Wednesday from 7:00 to 10:00 o'clock.
Open Chem Library
Explain the Tax to Them—Write
If the Legislature should RAISE the appropriations to educational institutions $100,000 above the amount asked for by the Board of Administration, it would cost the Kansan paying taxes on $10,000 the whole sum of 28 cents.
Hardly. And if he did know it he would know that his 28 cents had been better spent than any other 28 cents during the year.
IF the Legislature should CUT appropriations—cut out the Administration and College building for which $250,000 has been asked—it would save the person paying taxes on $10,000 the sum of 70 cents.
Would he ever know it, or feel it, or care?
How would he feel about this saving if he knew that it meant that his daughter or his neighbor's daughter was going to class up five flights of stairs to the garret or that his boy or his neighbor's boy was getting his education in a dark, unsanitary basement?
We hope the Legislature will realize how he would feel.

MISSOURI SEATS ARE ON SALE
Tiger's Five to Play in Lawrence Friday and Saturday Nights
Seats for the Missouri **basketball games** are now on sale at Manager Hamilton's office in the Gym and a Allie Carroll's news stand, down town. The two contests with Missouri occur in Robinson Gymnasium on Friday and Saturday evenings of this week. Student coupons 14 and 15 will admit to the balcony, or accompany a player in a reserved seat. Single admission without the tickets are 75 cents for seats on the playing floor.
Manager Hamilton went to Manhattan this morning to get a line on the new style of play which has just been inaugurated by the Tiger five, and which they offer games with the Aggies. William Oliver Hamilton is taking no chances on losing the Valley Championship now that it is nearly in our grasp, and he doesn't want the Tigers to slip anything over on the local team, which will change in style of play. Mr. Hamilton will return tomorrow morning.
"We are going to play a couple of games with Missouri," he said, "and I am sure that we will win at least two of them."

SEEK K. U. FACULTY MAN
FOR PRO-GERMAN CLUB
An invitation to join the German University League of New York, was extended to Dr. F. B. Dains of the Chemistry department at the University of Kansas. Doctor Dains thinks that an attempt is being made to organize the Americans, who formerly studied in Germany or Austria Hungary, as the first country in which he has not used for twelve years and which he left at the University of Berlin upon the completion of his work there.
The avowed purposes of the organization are: To establish a well organized American center for former German and Austrian students; to co-operate with efforts to strengthen ties between Europe and fore the educated people and the press, reliable material bearing on German affairs.
Doctor Dains did not avail himself of the opportunity to join the organisation.
