"What's the Use of Giving Lesson When the Students Don't Come"
—They Glide Away
Miss Rene West and Mr. Karl Wingate regret to announce to their student friends their inability to receive at the Tango Receptions at Ecke's Ball Room this evening of tomorrow. Exhibit and personal instruction in all the latest forms of the Tango and Hesitation Waltz will not be given.
Any doubt as to the efficiency of the University steam roller is now dispelled. Tango enthusiasts have been squashed by the heat of their Receptions have folded their tents like the Arabs and silently stole away.
Manager Dykes announced last night that he had come to the conclusion that dis谅ation was the better part of valor, and furthermore, that the moral code he used to prevent corruption of student morals had accomplished its pound of cure as far as he was concerned. In other words, his party of terpsicoborne performers would decommemorate other and more appreciative fields.
The "artists" left for Excelsio Springs and Southern Kansas.
Nothing has been done by the Student Council, up-to-date, in regard to the few students who attended the "reception" Tuesday.
WANTS LITERARY SOCIETIES AT K.U.
Prof.H.T.Hill Suggests Organization of Clubs to Debate and Read Books
Students in the department of public speaking have been talking a great deal really about the organization of literary societies on the hill. The idea is not merely to thank the teachers but to have the programs consist of musical numbers, essays, orations and extemporaneous speeches.
Prof. H. T. Hill, of the department of public speaking, said this morning, that he was heartily in favor of the plan and would do all in his power to help the cause along. He said that such societies held a prominent place at Baker, A.C., another school of the state, and that he believed six or eight societies at the University would find a place.
"It has been my intention for a long time to try to get a few societies organized," said Professor Hill, today. "However, I have been pretty busy with the debaters and have not had a great deal of time to plan them." Both students teachers will be pretty busy for the next three weeks, but I would be glad to talk to any interested and get their ideas.
"I am in favor of the organization at the beginning of the second semester, but I will be busy with the debaters until the middle of April, and cannot give as much time to the project as I would otherwise. If no societies are formed this year, I feel sure that they will be next, starting with the beginning of the school year 1914-15."
That a student would rather go to his room after having been on the hill from 8 to 11 than to hear any chapel exercise unless something out of the ordinary is the reason Dr. W. L. Burdick of the School of Law for the lack of attendance. Burdick. Earls Early. Chanel
DR. BURDICK FAVORS AN EARLIER CHAPEL HOUR
DR. BURKER FAVOUR
"The programs I had equally as good as last year," said Dr. Burdick this morning. "It seems to me as though the time is causing all the trouble; the average student, rather than attend chapel after classes all morning, will go to his room or get off the hill."
ELECTRICAL SOCIETY

The regular meeting of the Electrical Society has been changed from the usual Wednesday night meeting to Thursday evening, January 14th. The society will be invited to the home of Desmond and Mrs. P. F. Walker for a social evening at 1301 Ohio street between the hours of 8 and 10 o'clock.

TEST SHOWS THAT KANSAS
CLAY MAKES GOOD BRICK
The clay laboratory has received a great many specimens of Kansas clay recently and found that the State has some of the finest clay for making ornamental and building brick that can be found anywhere.
Some of the clay that came from Ellsworth County has just been tested as to its usefulness as brick clay. Results show that it produces excellent buff-colored and deep-red brick. Four of five sample bricks made from the clay, are now in the Chancellor's office.
Will Entertain Education Seniors
The seniors in the School of Education will be the guests of Prof. and Mrs. Raymond Wageler, professor at the University, and Mrs. Joselyn at the home of Professor and Mrs. Olin Friday evening.
A sample of Ottawa clay was received and tested and found to produce a fine red brick. Heretofore the clay from Ottawa has been used in chimneys, walls, buildings, which the masons use in chimneys. The tests which the University makes of the clay takes about three months to finish.

TARDY SENIORS HAVE THREE DAYS LONGER
Annual Management Extends Time of Paying Jayhawker Notes
Three more days have been given to seniors who have not yet paid for the 1914 annual in order that all seniors will have plenty of warning that they must get busy or not see their pictures in the class book.
Although all Jayhawker notes were due today and while the greater percentage were paid in, there are still a number of seniors who have not as yet made arrangements with the management. It is not the desire of the editors to exclude any senior, but it is also absolutely necessary that all be in by the date now set.
Several seniors have spoken to Manager Von Schriltz about extending the time on their notes, but this extension was made only in special cases. However a number of seniors have signified their intention of paying for the annual, but through neglect have not signed up a note. The management has given therefore all who wish to get in the annual three days of grace in which pay up their note payable to make arrangements, paying up later. This is positively the last chance for any senior to get in the book. Unless seniors, who have not "come in" to date, make these special arrangements they will be left out of the 1914 Jawhawk.
The managing committee in charge of the order blanks for the junior, sophomore, and freshman classes has not yet set a final date for all orders to be in, though this date will probably be sometime in February. No annuals will be printed which were not ordered before this date, which will be announced in the near future.
editor Clark requests that the seniors get their pictures in to him as soon as possible. The last date to get the senior pictures in for Poole will be the final date for organizations has been set for February 15.
ROISSANT WANTS SIMPLE
SPELLING IN STATE BOOKS
Prof. D. C. Croissant, head of the extension department, was in Topeka yesterday where he appeared before the state text book commission in the interests of simplified spelling. The commission was not very favorable to the movement although it signified its willingness to go about four-fifths of the way with the simplified spellers.
A list of 300 words was presented to the commission for adoption. The words were some which may be spelled correctly in two ways. The commission refused to ratify the list and balked decidedly on spelling past participles with a "t" instead of "ed."
"A Great Retreat" and "A Great Defense" will be the two papers that will be read before the Greek Symposium tonight by Prof. M. W. Sterling and Prof. A. M. Wilcox. Professors and Mrs. Sterling will be hosts to the symposium at their home at 1129 Louisiana street.

What's The Matter With Chapel?
SAYS HINSWAH APPEAL
IS NOT TAKEN TO DELAY
"I do not know anything about the facts of the application for a parole by Justin Hinshew to Gov. Geo. Hodges," said Dr. Wm. L. Burckid, chief counsel for Hinshew this morning. "The appeal was taken in good faith and not to delay the proceedings. Hinshew has until February 15th to appeal his case to the supreme court."
MANY FREAKS SENT TO
UNIVERSITY MUSEUM
In recent years the Museum has received a number of animal freaks, including a guinea pig with eight legs and four ears; one two-headed, and another 8-legged calf; and a rabbit with teeth $3 \frac{1}{2}$ inches long.
When a person finds a freak, he usually thinks that he has something very valuable, and immediately sends it to the University. "Sports" are peculiar creations, and they are gladly received by the Museum, but they are of little scientific value .
The Daily Kansas wants an expression of opinion from the students and faculty on "Why Chapel Attendance is Not Better." Write out your ideas, and drop the coupon in any University mail box or bring it to the office.

NOW WICHITA WANTS THE OKLAHOMA GAME
Business Association Would Land Interstate Contest Says Beacon
NO WORD AS YET-BOARD
President Hackney Says He Has
Heard Nothing of Plans—City
Offers Financial Inducement
Wichita wants the Kansas-Oklahoma football game next fall. Word from the Wichita Beacon, received at the Daily Kansan office this morning says that the Wichita Business Association is starting a campaign to land the inter-state football game at that city. A letter has been sent to the Board of Administration asking for a chance at the date.
The Wichita Association is using the argument that the trip to Oklahoma is such a long one that many students cannot see the game, that Wichita is centrally located between the two institution's buildings, and that alumni from both schools could see the game if it were played in Wichita.
"We have not yet received any such letter," President Hackney, of the Board said at noon, "and I know nothing of such an effort. This entire matter of playing football games on other than college grounds will probably be settled at Lincoln next Monday."
Some sort of a financial inducement will be offered, probably a free field and part of the advertising expenses.
The Beacon prints the plans of the association in this evening's issue.
E.W.HOCH TO HELP FIND NEBRASKA SITE
Member of Board Will Advise Northern Institution on Relocating Grounds
E. W. Hoch will while attending the Missouri Valley Conference meeting at Lincoln, Neb., next week will also attend a meeting of the heads of the educational institutions who will come to education of the University of Nebraska.
George Couptland, one of the regents of the University of Nebraska at a meeting of the Farmers' Congress at Omaha, Neb., was requested to invite a number of educational men to a conference at which time the relocation of the University would be considered. He invited the following disinterested men to give their opinions as to the location:
E. W. Hoch of the Kansas Board of Administration; President C. R. Van Hise of Wisconsin; President Jacob Schuman of Cornell; President W. O. Thompson of Minnesota; President Snyder of Michigan Agricultural College; E. J. James of Illinois; George E. Vincent of Minnesota and the president of the board of regents of Iowa.
The University of Nebraska is now located in a rich neighborhood in the heart of Lincoln. The University is in need of some new buildings and ground cannot be bought to build them on, so it will be necessary to either build the new buildings where the Agricultural Institute stands, some three miles out, or else relocate the whole school.
The heads of the educational institutions will give an unbissed opinion as to whether the university should be relocated.
