REASON WHY SUMMER KANSAN COMES FREE
Putting on Names Now Save Confusion in Mailing Department Next Fall
In order to do away with so much confusion in preparing the mailing list of the University Daily Kansan next fall it was thought advisable to start as many subscriptions as possible this spring. As a special inducement which should cause a large number to subscribe now is the fact that the Summer Session Kansan will be sent free to all who send in $2.50 between now and June 5.
The Summer Session Kansan will print all the news of the University Summer Session and it will be sent by mail to any address until the end of the six weeks' session. Last year a large number of the students subscribed for this "little brother of the Daily Kansan."
All fraternities and sororites that desire a volume of the University Daily Kansan bound as a record of the happenings at the University during the year, may be by mail or on paid subscriptions to the Daily for the coming year.

colleague debate
The men who will receive K's this year are: Avid L. Frank, Harry M. Smith, J. Christy Wilson, Henry A. Shinn, Oliver T. Atherton, Donald B. Joseph, Avery F. Olincy, and Harold F. Mattoon. Of these men Frank, Atherton, and Joseph represented the league; the Oklahoma depute Olmey; Olmey, Mattoon, and Shinn argued in the Colorado debate in Lawrence; and Smith and Wilson talked here against the Missouri team.
The committee to select a design for these K's reported at the meeting of the Debating Council held yesterday decided that the emblem will have on one side the word "Debate," with the initial letters of the two schools in the contest. On which reverse side will be the name of the man winning it and the date of the debate.
A resolution was passed to the effect that the Debating Council will buy only one K for a man who may represent the school in seven matches. The other kings like jobs for each of his other appearances by paying the price of the K.
PETITION CHAPEL CHANGES
Religious Organization Wants Dail Exercises at 10 O'clock and Bigger Attendance
Petitions asking the University,
Senate to change from 11 o'clock
twice a week to a daily chapel at 10
o'clock and pledging the signers to
attend at least fifty per cent of the
exercise, next year if they are
circumcised by the Students' Religious Federation of
the University.
The Federation expects to present the petitions at the next meeting of the University Senate. Members of the Students' Religious Federation say that they have undertaken this change because they believe that the present system of chapel has proven unsuccessful and they think that a chapel at 10 o'clock daily will be better attended
At the chapel hours from now until the end of the semester, only the ordinary chapel exercises will be given, with the exception of Friday. May 29. On this day the three full chapels are open to anyone in need. The speaker and the completed arrangements will be announced later.

AUDITOR SENDS BOOKS
BACK WITHOUT COMMENT
It is your guess about the conditions of the books of the University organizations. Some time ago Purchasing Agent Lardner of the Board of Administration came down from Manhattan and worked for one day on the accounts. His report was not favorable to the bookkeeping system employee by the various managers and managers because he could not make head or tails of their accounts. He took a number of accounts with him back to Manhattan. A few days ago he returned them without comment.
Well, what's the guess?

DEAN MARVIN GETS
CARNEGIE PENSION
THREE OTHERS GOT BENEFIT
Widow of Chancellor Snow and Professors Miller and Hogg Receive Annuities From Foundation
Chancellor Strong petitioned the awarding committee last winter, and a letter was received this morning granting the request.
Dean F. O. Marvin of the School of Engineering, has been- granted an award of between $1800 and $1,900 a year by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
The University is not on the accredited list of colleges that share in the foundation, but because Dean Marvin has been prominent among teachers of engineering, one of the organizers of the university, placed on his long and distinguished record at the University he was placed on the list.
The award begin when Dean Marvin retires from the University faculty, which probably will be at the end of the semester. It is based on the average salary received by the applicant for the past five years, being half of the regular salaried position, and it has been receiving $3,000 as head of the engineering school and $1,500 as advisory dean.
Two other professors at the University and the widow of Chancellor Snow have been awarded pensions from the Carnegie Foundation. Prof. Emeritus Ephraim Miller, who now lives in Pasadena, has been receiving an allowance since 1910. Prof. Archibald Hogg, of the department of philosophy, who was ill in 1911, drew a special allowance, for a year. Mrs. Snow is at present a beneficiary.
"The University of Kansas is not on the regular list of the Carnegie Foundation, because the Foundation hasn't enough money," said Dean Templin this morning. "In the beginning Mr. Carnegie donated ten million dollars, and proposed to retire every college professor after 25 years of service. The money began to run low so the state universities were not admitted to the list, and the 25 year service clause suspended. Later Mr. Carnegie gave two more scholarships to provide for the many students of state universities. However, that was not sufficient to take care of more than a few state Universities. Although, Virginia, Missouri, Michigan, Wisconsin, and one or two more were admitted, Kansas did not get in. And at present it is difficult to see where the Foundation is going to get enough money to pay its present obligations."
