But a Real Pulitzer Would be a Pulitzer Still. Thinks Professor
SHFLTERED LIFE AT K. U.
IMPOSES BIG HANDICAP
"If Joseph Pulitzer had enrolled in K. U.-what then?" This was the question put by Prof. Merle Thorpe to 200 students at the conclusion of a review of the life of the famous New York World editor, in which the early struggle of the friendless, and penniless Hungarian lad to get an education from public libraries was graphically portrayed.

"Kicked out of French's hotel in New York city as a boy where he had crept to get warm, he returned 12 years later, paid $260,000 cash for the hotel, razed it to the ground, and erected on the site what was then the tallest building on earth. Eight years before this immigrant boy at 29 with William Grosvenor, dictated the policies of a great national party; the convention is known today in history as the "Hill and Joe" convention. He never had a day's school, granted gold, high or college, knew history, American government, the sciences, philosophy, and literature, and knew them intimately, and he mastered the English language until in written or oral expression he stood on an alien soil peer of us all."
The speaker recounted some of the constructive journalism of Pulitzer. He forced the Cleveland administration to offer bonds to the public instead of to a Wall Street syndicate; brought about the Hughes investigation of insurance coverage of England and America during the Venezuela dispute, many claim his influence prevented war; was first to call attention to deplorable conditions in Cuba; started war on Louisiana lottery which resulted in abolition of that gigantic swindle; exposed Algernum and canned beef scandals, ice trust missions to state and federal penitentiaries. In short he lived to see his platform printed 25 years ago in the New York World adopted by the country. Among the planks were taxation of inheritances, of luxuries, of monopolies, of large incomes, of privileges of corporations, reform of office-holders, office-holders, vote buying, and of employees who coerce employers in elections.
"But," asked the speaker, "what if he had entered K. U. at 21 instead of crawling through learning's backdoor? Cynical ones say that our sheltered life makes mental muscles flabby, weakens the will, and destroys initiative. They say that if Joseph Pulitzer had come to Oread with steeled ambition and hopes high, he would have soon caught pace with the snail crowd, have approached learning for learning's sake with the same apathy that the average student shows.
"While the sheltered life of our University imposes a frightful handicap, it is not an insuperable one. Pulitzer would have overcome this handicap just as any other iron man or woman may do."
After all, Professor Thorpe said, it depends on the man. The truly great man will be master of his environment. Whether he is a doctor or a KU student, depends upon “the eye to believe, the eye to see, and the will to do.”
The law of contract, together with numerous suggestions for changes and improvements, was discussed by Judge A. W. Benson of the Supreme Court of Kansas at the School of Law Friday afternoon.

The following is the explanation of the authority given by an authority of the University;
Cressman, E. D., Mon Wed., and Fri. 3:30, Fraser 292.
The mill tax is a method for providing a permanent income for educational institutions. It consists of a tax laid in accordance with the constitution or statute laws of a state, or both, providing that for a given institution like a university a tax of a milk, more or less, on the assessed valuation of the state we shall collect each year. As the assessed valuation of a state changes but gradually in a series of years it is easy to compute what the tax will raise. Because of the fact that the product of the tax may be used for the institution named and nothing else the institution knows to a certainity how much its preference. Therefore, may make its plans for a long series of years. The advantage of this is obvious.

A mill tax seldom if ever yields enough for the whole support of a university. Special appropriations must therefore be asked for for all the special equipment it is however, comparatively easy to secure such appropriations because they are relatively small, while it is difficult to secure appropriations for the whole support of a University, including buildings and special equipment, because they necessarily are very large and a legislature hesitates from appropriating the proportions of public funds. To illustrate this point, the total received by legislative appropriation for the University of Kansas during the current biennium was about $72,500 per year. If we had had a mill tax yielding a permanent income, the university would have appropriated out of the total amount given above would have been about $100,000.

DR. STRONG ADVOCATES A BUILDING PROGRAM
Article in Graduate Magazine Declares That Physical Plant Inadequite
"There should be a building program for the University of Kansas." This is the keynote of Chancellor Frank Strong's letter to the alumni, published in the October number of the Graduate Magazine. The article contains a list of the buildings which the Chancellor says ought to be erected as soon as conditions in the state justify.
His estimate of the cost of $870,000 is distributed as follows: central portion of the building for Administration and the College of Liberal Arts, to cost $375,000; medical building for the departments at Lawrence, to cost $100,000; home economics building, to cost $75,000; woman's building and residence hall to cost $150,000; men's Union building to cost $100,000; residence hall for men, to cost $100,000; new engineering shops, to cost $50,000; rebuilding of the present Fowler Shops for a University commons and Alumni headquarters, to cost $20,000.
State Law Limits Length
"I understand perfectly," says Chancellor Strong, "that the constitution forbids in Kansas the actual appropriation beyond two years, but it is to be hopeful, that, if the next legislature would outline a permanent building plan, it would be appropriate for the next two years a reasonable sum therefor, that each succeeding legislature would conform thereto."
In the last two years the University's physical plant at Lawrence has not been increased, according to the Chancellor. This would be a matter of less concern if the physical needs were already fairly well met, but the University has never been able to catch up to its needs in this respect. The pressure for rooms is already great and ought to be relieved. The necessities for better laboratories and better equipment depending upon the amount of floor space is also great.
VESPER AUDIENCE GIVES
$7.52 TO RED CROSS FUND
An attractive musical program under the auspices of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A., drew a fair-sized audience on Monday in Fraser Hall at 4:30 yesterday.
Those present enjoyed Dean Skilton's organ solo, the Hoyt trio, consisting of violin, piano and the Y. M. quartet, piano solo by Hazel Branine, vocal solos by Clara Powell and Benjamin Levine, and T. Hill of the department of public speaking Hal Coffman, Y. M. president, presided.
Seven dollars and fifty-two cents was collected for the Red Cross fund.
The Sacrifices of Science
W. C. Stevens, professor of botany, used to pick and eat sweet clover leaves whenever he had the opportunity. He hoped, by this constant sampling, to find a plant which had a sweet taste. One day he picked a leaf and chewed part of it thoroughly. It was sweet. He looked at the half which he held. On it was the other bite of a caterpiller.

ASK TALBOT FOR POINTERS
Towns Want Information on Variety of Municipal Questions
Many inquiries relating to the drafting of ordinances have been received from municipalities by Prof. C. H. Tallot, head of the municipal reference bureau. The inquiries have increased since the League of Kansas Municipalities held its convention here a few weeks ago.
The nature of ordinances asked for by various cities cover a wide range of municipal questions, according to Professor Talbot. Among the questions that have been submitted to the State Council are the Methods of garbage and refuse disposal, means by which the "cut-out fiend" may be made to respect the rights of others, and the regulation of moving picture shows. Second and third class cities are consulting the Commission on larger cities, but some mupipalities of the first class are also seeking information.
TO MAKE A SUPREME EFFORT
Washburn Will Strain Against Jay-hawkers in Saturday's Game
The Washburn Ichabads will make a desperate effort to defeat Kansas Saturday afternoon when the Jayhawkers meet them on Washburn Field at Topeka. Coach Gray gave his pupils a hard workout yesterday afternoon completely shifting his line-up.
The Washburnites did not gain much glory in the game with the Normal Saturday and Gray says his team will undergo a complete upheaval. It is doubtful whether this change will stop the Kansans, but the Washburn contest always is a hard game for them, as they are a freakish football, often losing to smaller schools and then resversing their form against heavier opponents.
