WILL THERE BE A 1914 JAYHAWKER?
Condition of Annual Proposition Darkens Prospect for This Year's Book
A. F. WADDEL MAY RESIGN
Editor-In-Chief Unwilling to Assume Business End of Publication And Other Side Too
Whether the 1914 Jayhawker will make its appearance is a matter of doubt as present.
Alfred Waddell, who was elected manager last year, says that he will resign before he will attempt to publish the book on the basis used last year. The managers of the 1918 annual claim a heavy loss on the book.
book.
A man was proposed to the junior class last year by the Skull and K society for financing the Jayhawker. Paul Ross was appointed chairman of the committee. The junior class voted against the plan proposed, and at the present time nothing is being done.
Ross will call a meeting of the committee at an early date to attempt to formulate another plan whereby the manager of the Jayahawker will not be compelled to assume the entire responsibility for the publication expenses.
BAND NEEDS FAT MEN
Bass Horns and Big Drum Are As Yet Without Owners
"The traditional large fat man whose cheeks bulge out, while extracting dulce tones from the big bass horn, and the little man who plays the big bass drum, have not yet made their appearance on Mount Oread," said J. C. McCanley, leader of the University band, this morning.
"More than thirty-five men were tried out and accepted last night and about ten men were held over for a tryout later. But it is a case of everybody wanting to be a cornetist. Nobody loves a fat man, and as all bass players are fat there is a decided scarcity in the bass section. We need a good snare drummer or two, and a bass drummer."
Another tryout will be held in Blake ball at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. There is room for several more musicians. At the Kansas-Missouri game the band gets a free trip, all expenses paid.
Dean Snackne, "11, holder of the Kansas City alumni fellowship at Columbia, is visiting at the Keltz house.

William Hodgins of New York City has pledged Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
"HANK" MALOY. KANSAN CARTOONIST, IS COMING
Henry Maloy, the greatest cartoonist of the Sunflower State, is on his way back to K. U. He says so himself.
Maloy has signed a contract to draw exclusively for the University Daily Kansan this year.
"I am now on my last lap of a season of experience interspersed now and then with a little salary," he writes as he leaves a position as manager of a chautauqua. "I will yank up my stakes as soon as my tent gets dry enough to pack away and trot back to K. U. where the faculty can again take up the work of eliminating the slang from my vocabulary. You know they have a hard time with some of the words such as "boob," "mutt," "chasing" "bean," etc. that creep into my otherwise highbrow editorials.
