Merchants' Association Secretary Says Cleaners Should Be Held Responsible
NO RECOURSE IN STATUTES
County Attorney J. S. Amick Points Out That Law Does Not Call Recent "Departures" a Crime
"Let the Student Council or some other University body take the initiative in demanding indemnity or personal bonds given as security by pantatorium proprietors and they can count on the Merchants' Assurance to release them" said C. O. Bowman, secretary of the association this afternoon.
"We have no legal right to demand a bond, nor has the city council, but some student organization can ask for such security as will compel the court to enforce their agreement. You can make it to their interest, to give this security.
The reputable establishment should be behind such an effort because of the advertising it would get if for no other reason. It would have far less competition, too, because the fleecer would not do business.
"If the students would pay for their pantatortium tickets in quarterly installments instead of the whole sum down at the beginning of the year it would go far toward solving the question."
J. S. Amick, county attorney, when questioned as to the possibility of bringing back stray pantatorium owners, said that nothing would please him more than a chance to get hold of some of these high filtration systems, so not, far as able to find a charge on which they could be tried.
"If some of the senior laws or any one else can find me a statute or decision on which I can stand," he said "or if it can be proved that they took them clothes belonging to some one else, I will get after them in a minute."

LET HIM EXPLAIN
"Lawrence, Kas.,—To the Star:—Lawrence people have been interested in the discussion of the University football coaching problem which has appeared in your Speaking the Public Mind column.

MANDOLIN CLUB TO PLAY AT GLEE CLUB CONCERT
"We are planning to make this as complete a work of its kind as has ever been published, and we are hoping that it will do much to create interest in students who are helping themselves through college," said Con Hoffman Y. M. C. A. secretary this afternoon. "The students who are working must help or it will be a success. A complete canvass of the business houses of law has been made by our employment committee. One hundred and ninety men students have been aided in obtaining places to work through the Y. M. this year and most of these have been permanent jobs.
"This bulletin will show the average earnings of students in the different schools, the average amount of time spent by each student on his homework, and the number of assignments themselves to the needs of their employers, different positions being filled by student help in local business houses, the different occupations of those who work for school expenses during school hours, and the average earnings of these students and many other facts that will be interesting.
"In order to aid in the getting up of this bulletin the cooperation of those students who are working their way through school is needed. There will be no publicity of names and conditions it will be maintained throughout."
"All students who are doing any work whatever that helps to pay school expenses are asked to report the following things to the employment bureau before the holidays; name of school in which they are enrolled; class, time, place and manner with any other information that would help in making this a complete census of the facts."
Sigma Phi Sigma held initiation last night for Glen L. Alt, of Denton, Kans., a sophomore engineer.
MOSSE DISCUSSES COACHING SITUATION
Charges at Football Mixer That Kennedy Attempted to Influence Players
HURTS K. U. SAYS MANAGER
Hamilton Declares That Present Un settled Conditions Affect K. U.
—Uncle Jimmy Presents K's.
In a characteristically blunt manner, Coach Arthur Mosse commented on the agitation to elect Dr. A. R. Kennedy as his successor, last night at the big football game this time. Professor Ubina used this time Mosse has refrained from making any public statement on the situation.
"Kennedy has caused dissention in the team this year by work with some of the individual men," declared Coach Mosse. "Kennedy has not been my friend since 1907. He has tried by underhanded means to hurt my coaching. I don't mind an enemy who fights in the open but I have no use for one who uses underhanded means to gain his ends.
Predicts Good Season
**Predictors Good Season**
"I will not resign. I am going to stay on the job. I'm back come back"
"Captain Detwiler is my friend and I will get an assistant coach who is satisfactory to both of us and we will have a big season."
"The squad was too small this year. No team can get along without having forty men available at the beginning of the season. I want to see a bigger squad turn out next year."
Coach Leonard Frank, did not allow to the recent wreck over the coaching situation. He gave his estimate of each player works on the
Players Worked Well
"They were all fighters," he declared. "Contrary to the frequent rumors during the last few days, there was no friction among the team. They all worked together. And in the coaching staff likewise there was cooperation. We never let personalities come before playing.
"I will not be here next year, but I will think about you often and I want you rooters to stick by the team. The spirit of last year was not here this year. Try to revive the old confidence in the team and coaches and stay with the team win or lose."
Criticism Harmed K. U.
"The recent criticism of the coaches is to be regretted," Manager Hamilton said. "Most of it is thoughtless. I know that those who found fault with existing conditions did not think of the injustice which they were doing, and tried to do the Uni-ty. Most of the talk was harmless enough at first but it soon grew to personalities and then it became unsportsmanlike and harmful to athletics at the University.
"I believe in free speech by the students directed through proper channels, but we are too eager toUBUUUUUUUUUU
Question Concerns All
"The selection of a coach is a matter which vitally concerns every student and every alumnus and every member of the faculty of the University of Kansas. We want every student to voice his opinion through the proper channel and we want every alumnus to feel that he has a word in the selection, but there are dozens of inside facts which govern the selection of the coach which the students never know. So I say that it takes long and careful consideration to settle the matter justly.
"The school spirit is 75 per cent of a winning team. No team can play football if they have not the spirit of the school behind them. So I want the student body of the University of Kansas to stick to the team next year regardless of who coaches it."
"Uncle Jimmy" presented each member of the team with a "K" and told the audience that Kansas had the All-Valley team.
Present Clever Skits Before Mixer Crowd
The Pan-Hellenic Council presented the "Tango Minstrels" an unusually clever piece of minstrel work at the mixer last night. Leo Fitzpatrick, Guy Houston, and Baldwin Mitchell as soloists, DeLongy and Wingart as end men, were the stars of the performance.
The Sachems followed with a fifte-
minute sketch. Lady, well received.
WILL THE FOOTBALL AGITATION SUBSIDE?
Captain Elect and Men's Student Council Would End Discord
"LET AUTHORITIES DECIDE"
Text of Council Resolution and Detwiler's Statement—Team Will Pull Together Next Year
That the entire football team, so far as he knows, is going to pull together for next year, leaving the settlement of coaching matters to the authorities, in the opinion of Dutch Dewalier, the new football captain.
"The fellows on the team regret the recent agitation, I believe, and are willing to do that in part next year" "Presidently I am going to work my head off."
After considerable investigation of the coaching question Tuesday night, yesterday, and today, the Men's Student Council at an adjourned meeting in Fraser Hall at most decision days is to meet in the Inferior. In a resolution the Council asks that a decision be left to the "proper authorities."
"That in view of the many and varied elements concerned in the situation, the Men's Student Council does not deem it appropriate to take any action on this matter at the present time.
"That inasmuch as the opinion of all parties concerned are known, we believe that the situation can be adjusted by the proper authorities."
When asked this morning for further comment on the coaching question Coach Mosse said, "So far as I am concerned I am through discussing it. I want a chance to coach the team next year without interference and when the season is over I am willing to stand on my record."

TEAM OPPOSES MOSSE?
Majority of Players Met With Board Privately Yesterday After noon in Fraser
A majority of the football squad met with the Board of Administration in secret session yesterday afternoon to discuss football. President Hackney would not divulge the result of the meeting.
It is commonly reported on the hill, however, that a majority of those present opposed the retention of Mosee as head coach and also wished to rescind their action concerning the student petition. Tuesday evening the football team signed a petition to the Men's Student Council asking that the Council require all petitions which are circulated among the students to be first presented to the Council for approval.
Bunny Wilson, Larry Kinnear and Russell Clark comprised the company.
A hit of the evening was the work of the Sphinx trio, John Smith, James McGregor and Rickie Ricke. The University Glee club also gave several interesting numbers.
