WILL STOP LOANING OF STUDENT TICKETS
Manager Hamilton Says "Enterprise" Books Are to Be Watched
100 BORROWED SATURDAY
Count Shows That Scores Passed Gate at K. U.-Aggie Game Under False Pretenes
"The practice of students riding into basketball games on other students" season tickets has got to stop," said Manager W. O. Hamilton in his office at the Gymnasium this morning. "The athletic authorities and the ticket men have a little lax in watching tickets, but the other night when we noticed a girl sliding into a reserved seat on a ticket made out to Richard Blank, we decided to sall a halt on the whole affair.
"The students have carried on the practice of using borrowed tickets until it has grown more serious than they think. It seems easy for them to give you a ticket, and take your girl to the game upon it, but when you stop and figure out that not only are you defeating the purpose for which the enterprise tickets were set in the bargain, it will unlikely be seen that it doesn't pay."
"There is but one way for the Athletic Association to stop this habit of indiscriminate trading of season passes, and it has been a hard sell. We have opened open for it. Hereafter any student found attending a basketball game on another man's ticket will be excluded from admission, and the ticket will be taken up. It will be hard for the doorkeepers to refuse admission. If you want her to escort her escort didn't want to put up the extra two-bits, but, it must be done."
Of the attendance at the Kansas-Aggie game Saturday night, it was estimated that a hundred students did not come in on their blanks. Of the tickets examined afterwards in the office some before and one who had been school and other to students who had gone home over the week-end. This is what the athletic authorities plan to have abolished in the future.

DESMOND O'KEEFE TO GO TO WEST POINT
Junior Gets Appointment From Senator Thompson to U.S. Military Academy
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 3, 1914.
Desmond O'Keefe, junior law, has received from Senator William H. Thompson the appointment as cadet to the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. O'Keef will withdraw from the University after finishing his examinations in the School of Law this week and will report for duty at West point June 15.
Announcement of the appointment was received this week from Adjutant General George O'Reilly, if the University is one of the accredited schools listed by the War Department, O'Keele will probably be one of the first to enter West Point without taking an examination, a recent ruling department.
The appointment means four years of education in the nation's military school, with $50 per month paid from the time of entrance until graduation. At the close of his training at West Point, appointment to an official position in the army will be made if O'Keefe so desires.
An interesting history is connected with the recent appointment, at age 37, of Congressman Case Broderick had an appointment coming to West Point from the First Kansas Congressional District. He called for a competitive examination at Holton for the selection of an appointee. H Thompson was held in Kansas. John T. O'Kee, Desmond's father, was attending high school there. With several others young Thompson and John O'Kee took the examination at Holton. Thompson came out second best and O'Kee third, but thought he had been selected. Thompson was one per cent and O'Kee two per cent behind the man who won the appointment.
That competitive examination resulted in a friendship between Mr. Thompson and Mr. O'Keefe which has lasted for life. O'Keefe is now an attorney in Leavenworth and was twice elected city attorney, while Thompson was last year elected senator from Kansas.
The two men met last month at the Democratic banquet in Topeka and the senator told Mr. O'Keefe he might have the West Point place for his son Desmond, who immediately accepted the position.
O'Keele's home is at 418 Vine Street, Leavenworth is on a track athlete and his race run address is in the mile. His Lawrence address is 1237 Tennessee.

"A study of the transmission o human diseases through the agency of insects," is the way Prof. S, J Hunter of the entomology department mentored by Dr. J. W. Brennan on insects and disease which he will offer the coming semester.
"No phase of medicine is attracting more attention today than the part which insects play in the transmission of diseases," said Professor Hunter. "Pellagra which has recently appeared in Kansas has been the subject to much study by this department" in cooperation with the State Board of Health at Topeka. We will attempt to find a method of stopping the disease."
PHARMICS TO ENROLL AT DEAN SAYRES OFFIC
The Pharmics will enroll Monday in the office of the Dean of Pharmacy. Dean Sayre expects ten new students to register.
K. U. ASKS CONGRESS TO PAY WAR CLAIM
Presses $100,000 Bill Against Government for Burning Hotel in 1836
At the head of an armed posse, J. B. Donelson, a United States marshal, and Sheriff Jones, of Douglas County entered the city of Lawrence, Kansas, May 21, 1856, under the pretext of arresting certain citizens.
That afternoon the posse surrounded the Free State Hotel, suspected of being a storehouse for munitions of war. Failing in its attempts to break into the building by the use of a cannon, which on the third attempt to fire burst, the posse applied the torch to the hotel.
the Board of Administration has recently asked Senator Thompson to reintroduce the bill in the Senate. Should it be passed on for further this time, the University will receive more than $100,000. including interest.
On this basis the New England Emigrant Company, owners of the Free State Hotel, immediately brought a claim against the Federal Government for damages. The company later transferred its claim to the University of Kansas and was then been presented to Congress several times. In 1907 the bill passed both houses but President Roosevelt did not sign it.

SAYS K.U.WILL HAVE COMMERCE SCHOOL
Pres. E. T. Hackney, in an Interview, Explains Proposed Kansas Institution
The University of Kansas will soon have a School of Commerce according to an interview given out on the campus of the Paresh M. Shah and of Administration, Ed. T. Hackney.
Explaining the course Presidem Hacknev said:
"The idea of the school is to send out the graduates with a general knowledge of the fundamental underlying principles that build up the commerce of a nation rather than with a superficial training in the smaller details of business management. It will not be a business course, as the term common is used, nor a professional course in commercial training in its broadest aspects. Many of the studies in the proposed course already are offered at the university; some will have to be added.
"The correspondence course for country merchants is meeting with popular favor. The merchants' week program next May promises to be advertising courses already given in the journalism work, and commercial chemistry. Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Harvard, Ohio and the University of Alabama are larger universities which already offer four courses in this line.
"It will be simply a matter of time until the University of Kansas offers such a course leading to a degree. Many of the studies are already there, as I said before. The next thing will be to assemble them, the right man to put at the head of the work, and get the thing started."
The Board of Administration will probably take action on the matter at their meeting this week.
NO HONORARY DEGREE AT KANSAS SINCE 1890
Only Five Such Titles Given in History of the University
"The practice of granting honorary degrees by universities and colleges is declining very rapidly," said Dean John Templin this morning. "The granting of honorary degrees has been prohibited in Kansas since 1859, the tendency of many universities to look with disfavor upon the custom,
"Usually, and especially among the smaller colleges of the country, an honorary degree is a form of graft. They are usually purchased by a valuable gift to the institution. In many instances, it amounts to nothing but the granting of a scholarly brand for a personal favor."
Kansas has only granted five degrees during the fifty years of its existence, and it is doubtful if a single one of these was given on the basis of purely intellectual effort. Richard Cordley received the degree of Doctor of Divinity in 1874. He was a minister in Lawrence, and his popularity was the only reason for granting the degree.
D. O. Kellogg, jr. received the degree of Doctor of Divinity the same year. He was a faculty member for a time. John J. McCook received the degree of Doctor of Laws after he had given a pasture to James Martin, an athletic field. Several others, including James Marvin, Charles Robinson, for whom the gymnasium was named, and James A. Martin were also given degrees.

BUT FEW FINISHED;
THESE ARE HAPPY
Majority of Students Are Still Burning Midnight Oil and Taking Quizzes
A few students, a very few finish-
ished their part of quiz week today;
they were the lucky ones, the favored
ones, according to the many who are
still burning the candle at both ends.
Several Monday and Tuesday classes,
but it is only heresy; everyone is too busy
to even know about such things.
Tomorrow the ten o'clock quizzes will be taken; Thursday morning will be given over to the eleven o'clocks; the three-thirty-quizzes tomorrow afternoon; the one-thirty classes are scheduled for Friday morning.
When the noon whistle blows Friday the final final will be over and everyone will begin to realize that it wasn't so bad after all; there will be nothing to do until next term and that will be two whole days away.
in the meantime, from now until that Friday whistle blows, there are still numerous hard quizzes to take in. That is how we have joined those taken today, yesterday, and from the beginning of quizzes.
DANGER FROM SMALLPOX
OVER, SAYS DR. NAISMITH
The danger from smallpox is over, according to Dr. James Naismith. No new cases have been reported to him and the ten-day period of incubation will soon be over. Unless some have been exposed, there is little danger of taking the disease, says Doctor Naismith.
Dan Hazen, star track man has been unable to run for the last two days because of the effects of vaccine. His other athletes are unable to work out.
The Kappa Sigma fraternity house is still under quarantine. The men will probably be allowed to go out next Monday. At present, none of the members of the fraternity smallpox, though three of them are ill from the effects of vaccination.
About 175 students have been vaccinated by Doctor Naismith in the ten days since the first announcement of free vaccination.
