ASKS FOR SUGGESTIONS ON CHAPEL CHANGES
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 9, 1914
Daily Kansan Wants to Know Student Opinion on Question
PROFESSOR SUGGESTS PLAN
If Students Want it at Ten O'clock Change by all Means, Says Dr. Van der Vries
The University Daily Kansan begins a campaign to determine why chapel is not better attended. The Kansan asks for an expression from students and faculty. A blank is written with questions to be answered as follows:
Yesterday the Kansan printed an interview from Prof. John Van der Vries of the Chapel Committee, Professor Van der Vries suggested that the Kansan start a referendum among the students and members of the department in regard to the kind of chapel and at what time it should be held.
Would ten o'clock chapel be better? Too little music? How could attendance be improved? The three questions are to be answered and the coupon dropped in any University box, or delivered at the Kansas office.
'If the students think chapel at ten will draw any better than it does at eleven o'clock then let it be at manners all means,' said Dr. Van Dyries.
A count taken at this morning's chapel showed fourteen faculty men on the platform and approximately 600 students in the audience.
TELLS PART COLLEGE MEN PLAY IN WORLD
Henry M. Beardsley, Formerly Mayor of Kansas City, Talks in Chapel
With these words Henry M. Beardley, former mayor of Kansas City prefaced his address in chapel this morning on "College Men" and the
"Every age has seemed to the dwellers in it as a new day. The early emigrants to America, the pioneers, those who developed and made productive the new territories, all these must have thought they were living in an age far in advance of those which preceded it."
"The present day differs from others in that it is a day of greater democracy," said Mr. Beardsley. "The place of the college men in this new day is as voices of authority. They are not to value their education as a means of putting them above their less fortunate brethren. They have a great responsibility in trust in helping legislate for those who are not so well fitted for life with education and ment. We are a people who begin to understand and appreciate such a trusteeship. I believe that certain men who in the past have amassed great fortunes would in the light of new thought live far different lives were they permitted to live again."
The Girls' Glee Club sang "song
You Have Love a Lilac," by Bischot
admirably.
A Former Illini Editor,
Beardside Visits Kansan
Having edited the daily paper at the University of Illinois once upon a time himself, Henry M. Baedleay, formerly mayor of Kansas City, who spoke in chapel this morning, paid tribute to his interest and interested visit this morning.
what I am curious to know," he remarked to one of the student editors, "is whether the training given in schools of journalism is going to turn into newspaper men who write in papers that tell the truth in their news stories."
Mr. Beardsley explained that he was daily forced to read papers of the type which call a crowd of 5,000 at an opposing political meeting "a small crowd of 500," and a 500-person crowd at a political meeting it favored, a "large and highly enthusiastic crowd of 5,000."
"I know of but one paper," said the ex-mayor "that gives the new impartially, reserving its own opinion for the editorial page or to cover out of the news. That paper is the Christian Science Monitor."
W.S.G.A. SAYS DATE RULE IS STILL GOOD
Council Says the Mid-Week Clause Will be Enforced As Far As Possible
NOT CONSIDERED
Action Regarding Request of Women Students Will be Deferred Until Another Meeting
Action in regard to the petitions presented to the council, yesterday, asking that the women students of the University be given a chance to reconsider Article II. IV of the law was deferred until another meeting. The council voted their disapproval of the proposition to reconsider the article.
"On behalf of the Council I wish to say that the mid-week date rule will be enforced insofar as our power extends," said Miss Maude Lourrey president, W. S. G. A., with the meeting of the Council at 4:30 o'clock yesterday.
The Council planned yesterday to begin work at once to stop the prevalence of week-nights off among the women students, teachers and other staff in list of the offenders whom they expect to see personally in the near future.
The article in question reads, "Social engagements should not be made for evenings of school days and ex- hilarity events and for evenings preceding holidays."
ONE PANTATORIUM READY
FOR BOND-OTHERS WILLING
One of the down town pantatourian owners has not only expressed his willingness to put up a cash bond to the men's Student Council, guaranteeing his relentless commitment and made all arrangements to turn over the bond.
"All the men we have seen appear to favor the arrangement," Frank Miller, chairman of the committee from the Council says. "We have been trying to work out the most satisfactory plan and our committee has adopted the scheme perfected every cleaning and pressing establishment in Lawrence will be urged to come in. Further results may be expected early next week."
K. U. GLEE CLUB WILL SING AT NEWTON TONIGHT
The University Glee Club is in Newton today and will sing there tonight. Last night the singers were in Hutchinson and sang before a large crowd. After the performance, the club members were entertained with a dance by K. U. alumni and alumni supported the concert and looked after the visitors while they were in Hutchinson.
The trip will end tomorrow night at Emporia. Manager Sowers was in Emporia, Thursday, and made arrangements with the Normal to hold the concert in Albert Taylor Hall, the Normal chapel. The Glee Club will return to Lawrence Saturday night.

NUMBER 71
STUDENT UNION PLAN MAY NOT BE DEAD
Change of Student Day Date To Mean a Building Campaign?
Will the agitation for a Men's Student Union, which is supposed to have died a peaceful death last fall, be resurrected on Student's Day in March? That this is true is the explanation some prominent students are asking of the reason for changing the date of Student's Day from May to March.
"An agitation started in May could not be completed before the close of school, consequently the date of launching the campaign must be started earlier. For this reason the Student Council changed the Student Day date." The students who think they see a Union campaign in the air, are using this argument.
President Dodd of the Council said this morning that any campaign started by the students would have a much better chance of completion if launched early in the second semester. For changing the Student Day date, announced in the Daily Kansan yesterday, it would hardly be true to say, however, that we had any particular campaign in mind," he added.
Washburn Games Coming
The two Washburn games will be played Friday and Saturday nights of next week. Manager Hamilton taught him understudied of some students who have tried to get reserved seats, thinking that the games were scheduled for this week.

LIBRARY HAS BOOKS OF
PRESENT-DAY WRITERS
The unfamiliarity of K. U. students with present day authors, demonstrated by Prof. W. S. Johnson of the English department by a quiz on current literature, is due to no fault of the University library. Of the twenty-eight authors listed, the works of only two, W. S. Gibson and Eden Philpott, are not found on the shelves.

KANSAS FORWARDS THE STARS
Van's Field Goals and Lefty's Free Throws Bring Victory to Crimson and Blue
In a game of basketball which far outclassed that held the previous night, the Kansas Jayhawkers defeated the Ames Aggies last night in the Robinson Gymnasium. The score was 38 to 22.
Outclasses Ames in First Round Hamilton's five far outclassed the Men of Hubbard in the first twenty minutes of play. Getting the jump on their Northern opponents from the start, after the first five minutes of play the boys in crimson and the blue never were headed and had things practically their own way to the finish of the game.
The contest was prettier to witness from the spectator's point of view than the knock-down-and-drag-out which they witnessed Wednesday. Both teams opened up more, passed better, and showed superior teamwork. They were to a flying start which they got in the first half, the Farmers' defeat to their lateness in getting started.
But the Aggies were first to score, Before two minutes of play had elapsed, Bully Greenlees, who worked at guard for Sproull's quintet last night, committed a technical foul, and Swiney, the big Ames forward, charged into the lead, sild a pretty free throw through, the oval netting.
Kansas soon came back. Hansel, the Farmer captain, performed a stunt similar to that of his Jahwak-ang moment, and *Sprowl* in tauza scored.
K. U. Takes Lead
Here the Jayhawkers took the lead, never to be headed to the close of the game. After the ball had been passed up and down the field twice, Greenlees and Weaver for Kansas, and Dowell for Ames all shot hard. Hopefully other Aggie guard, made his first error, and Sproull scored another free throw, putting his team in the lead.
Hover grabbed the ball, tossed it up at center, and Ames got possession of it on the buck. Kansas soon recovered it however, and after a few passes, Bill Weaver, the Jayhawker center, stood near the center of the field on the north side of the court, watching for an opportunity to elude the watchful eyes of the Iowa guards and feed it to a man nearer the basket. But everyone was "covered up" and so Mill shot for himself. The ball described a pretty arc in the air, and came down squarely in the middle of the basket, counting two points for Kansas.
Weaver's wonderful shot half way took the pep out of the players from the Northern state. In quick succession Van der Vries, the Yajawkier midget forward, hit two pretty goals from underneath the basket, and Bally Greenlees, guard, dribbed the ball down the field, scored a goal followed with another field shot, and Van got two more in succession.
Six Field Goals—Six
With the score 22 to 4 against them at this point, the Aggies came out of their shell. On a pretty play, Dowell, forward, stood at the extreme side of the court and tossed a goal.
Ames Scores For Kansas
On a buck at the other end of the court, Swiney, the other Aggie forward, scored a goal for Kansas when jumping against Van der Vries, he tipped the ball into the Kansas basket over the head of his lighter adversary. But Ames came back. Holmes on another buck play scored and helped the Hawks' head ended with the Jayhawks' lead 24 to 8.
The second session was much more bitterly fought on the part of both of the teams. Each five scored 14 points in this session, and the score exactly paralleled the playing. The Aggies opened with a rush. Before the hyphany went aside, at first going up, the Aggies had up five points and looked as though they were going to make it interesting for K. U..
Wherein Kansas Comes Back Hansel, captain and guard, got two goals in rapid fire succession,
