NUMBER 87.
VOLUME XII
MOVE WEIR SCHOOL OF MINES TO UNIVERSITY?
Bill Introduced Into Legislature Provides for
Change
A bill to move the state School of Mines from Weir City to the University was introduced into the legislature W. A. Bird, of Shawnee County.
All the courses are now given at the University and the extra students could be handled with little or no extra expense to the state. The University now offers courses in geology, engineering, physics, mathematics, shop drawing, chemistry,煤矿 and mining and the school could be incorporated with the University without any increase in the appropriations.
If the School of Mines grow it will perhaps be necessary for an increase in the upkeep, but this would be necessary regardless of the location of the School and would be less here than if it were a separate institution.
The State Board of Administration asked for an appropriation of $20,000 for the support of the WebSphere in the budget for the next two years.
Twenty-Eight Students at Weir School of Mines
The State School of Mines and Metallurgy at Weir City, was established by an act of the legislature in Feb. 15, 1910. The location of the school at Weir City, 20 miles south of Pittsburgh, might be in the heart of the mining region of the state. The school is supported by the appropriations from the state. It also receives an appropriation from Congress along with other schools of mining. The school is managed by the Board of Administration. The staff of these institutions were enrolled, nearly all of them specials, according to the report of the Board of Administration.
DECIDE UNIVERSITY'S
FATE NEXT THURSDAY
Committee From Legislature to Bass Recommendation on Observations Here
A sub-committee from the ways and means committee of the legislature will visit the University Thurs day while consider the proposals they will probably base their recommendation on the observations they make here Thursday.
Cut Extension $15,000
The senate committee on ways and means is prepared to make a fight for liberal appropriations for the Kansas state schools. The committee has submitted a report of the big schools, carrying a total of 2,151,204 for 1916 and $2,149,600 for 1917, the largest appropriations ever given to the educational institutions of the state. The committee was practically unanimous in reporting the
The Democrats in the senate and a considerable number of Republicans are favorable to the liberal appo-
sition, but they have a good majority. But the house has the economy idea just now and every bill the senate committee gets out is slashed by the house committee or and means and by the house itself.
The amount given the schools is only $46,750 less than the board or administration asked for them. This amount was cut from some of the maintenance. The extension work was reduced $15,000 a year.
Fraternity Tax Bill in House
A bill to repeal the tax exemption law for fraternities was introduced into the house of the legislature by Fred Reibe, of Shawnee county. Friday. It was referred to the judiciary committee on taxation and was reported of fraternity men on it. The bill was reported favorably by the senate committee on taxation.

The faculty women's Gym class will not meet this week.

Kansas Defeats Aggie Squad in Double Series on Man-hattan Court
Home safely again with a fifth and sixth Missouri Valley victory added to their string, the Jayhawker basement. They were more than more this week than the other students on the Hill, take quizzes. And then like every one else they will celebrate, by taking on the Wash-ton baseball night in Robinson Gymnasium.
Although having only one game this week, the Crimson and Blue squads will get busy next week and stage a two game home series with their rivals of Thursday and PoloLand the Kansas Aggies. In addition, Missouri Tigers will play two games in Robinson, February 19 and 20.
Were it not for those four games on the schedule with the Tiger quintet Kansas would probably see an ever-victorious basketball team for 1915. And the chances are Dumbo. And if they were to meet the feast anywill. It will be a battle of Wisconsin coaching when the two aggregations do clash for both Coach Van Gert and Hamilton are former students of the Madison institution.

If Ineligible Students Fail in Quizzes
Shifting Will be Necessary
Several changes will be necessary in "The Man From Home" if the three students who have been declared indebted by the IRS may pass their examinations this week.
Here's Your Chance--

THE PONDEROUS JUGGERNAUT ROLLS ON
Squeezes Weary Studies Beneath It
The price for the Union Debt dance, to be given in the Gym February 9, will be $1.00 per couple according to Vic Bottomly, president of the Student Council. The dance will begin at 8 o'clock, and close at 12:00.
And the Juggernaut rolls on: ponderous, soilless, inexorable. The long-suffering juggernaut is the inquisition drab and murky are the days without, dreary and sad within, for quiz-week is upon us, and what profiteit it a man if he read many tomes, and neglects the pamphlet that his instructor wrote?
The gas in the furnace runs low o' nights, but the cramming stude sits at his desk to an unwonted hour, holding more or less sweet communication with the shades of departed scientists, and yet on the morrow his fleeting knowledge has vanished! Garbed in gargments of gold and scarlet, peagreen and violet, wrought into robes by the loving hands of sister Bunny, he abhorses the sight of the ancients; though his toes grow cold and the wet towl about his fevered bogg oppress him, he struggles ever onward, with the mystic warning "final" driving him on as a Nemesis.
And when in the fog of early morn-
ing he drags his halting limbs to the
accustomed seat at the back of the
classroom and discloses to the pitiless scorn of his professor the profound depth of his ignorance, who shall there be to pity him? For are we not all even as he?
Students will be asked to make a statement of the outside work they are doing when they enroll Monday. The information will be given on small cards which will be handed out on enrollment day.
Press Club Elects Prof. Thorpe Prof. Merle Thorpe, of the department of journalism, has been elected to membership in the Press Club of the university where he was an instructor in the summer school at the University of California last summer and will be there again this summer.
Swede Wilson with banjo, and Eric Owen with violin will furnish the music.
Ammons at Pittsburgh

Earl Ammons, who played on the Varsity in '10, and '11, is athletic director at the University of Pittsburgh, at atitjama, Pittsburgh. He won the "Missouri" game in "10 the Kansas-Missouri" game in '10 when his brilliant play held Missouri to a 5 to 5 tie. Ammons was captain of the team in '11.

Retailers Give Service
"The people of today are more comfortable than the kings and princes of a hundred years ago, because of the retailers," said Paul H. Neystrom, of Minneapolis, in his book "The merchants in chapel this morning." The retailers have taken up the work of the inventors and given them to the public. Many the invention has failed an the retailers did not give it to the public.
"The retailer performs a great social service in giving the public better goods and better things to improve all the thing; that name for public good."
Retailers Need Methods
The REAL retail merchant needs methods; needs a system of accounting that will give him information about his business with a minimum of bookkeeping work. This is the advice J. C. Walker, of the Burroughs Machine Co., gave Kansas business session at Lawrence, this morning.
"The day when the old fashioned merchant who depended on his memory and a few memorandums to serve in the place of proper accounts, has passed. The day when the business man must be aware of the superiority of himself and others in order to secure success is here," said Mr. Walker.
"This is the reason, I take it, for this Merchants' Week. It is one of the plans now being carried out to get the business men having like problems together in groups so that they may exchange their suggestions of those who have made a close study of their problems.
"No other lines produce so many failures as the retail field. This is accounted for partially in the fact that this is the largest field of commercial endeavor, but still more fully in the fact that there is a prevalent idea that anyone can conduct a retail store."
