NUMBER 153.
AND THE KANSAN COSTS ONLY $2.00 THIS WEEK
Comparison With Other College Dailies Favors K. U.'s Student Paper
PRINCETONIAN COSTS $4.50
Average Price of 24 Varsity Sheets is $2.93—And The Kansan Prints More News.
An exhibit of college dailies from all over the United States which was put up in Fraser hall yesterday afternoon is attracting considerable attention from the students. The papers are tacked on a large bulletin board and the price of each day is market on it with heavy black crayon.
The comparison shows that the Daily Kansan, although it prints more college news than any other college daily, is being offered for this week at a price which is in the very lowest rank. No college paper is printed in America for less than $100,000. None of them offer to include a Summer Session edition with the regular subscription rate.
Here are the subscription prices of all the college dailies that are listed in Ayers Newspaper Directory:
Daily Californian. $3.75
Stanford Paio Alto. 3.00
Yale Daily News. 4.00
Purdue Exponent. 3.00
DePauw Daily. 2.50
Indiana Student. 2.00
Daily Northwestern. 2.25
Chicago Maroon. 3.00
Daily Iowan. 2.00
Harvard Crimson. 3.00
Princetonian. 4.50
Nebraska. 2.00
Missourian. 2.00
Michigan Daily. 3.00
Cornell Daily Sun. 3.50
Columbia Spectator. 3.50
Syracuse Orange. 2.50
Brown Herald. 3.50
Washington Daily. 3.00
Wisconsin Cardinal. 3.00
Pennsylvanian. 3.00
Daily Illini. 3.00
Minnesota Daily. 2.50
Drake Daily Delphic. 3.00
ANOTHER ONE LEAVES
Bargain week for the Daily Kansan ends Saturday. All subscribers will receive the paper at the two dollar rate who sends in the remittance before that time. The Summer Session Kansan is included with all subscriptions.
This comparison is somewhat misleading because it does not take into consideration the size of the papers. Of the dailies published in the Missouri Valley, for instance, only the University Missouri approach the Daily News, which is more mature published. The Missouri, however, prints Columbia, Missouri, and general news as the exhibit in Fraser hall shows.
O. W. Melin, Instructor in Ciui Engineering Resigns to Enter Practical Work

"HOBBY" AND "R. G." VICTIMS OF DEFICIT
But Victims of 1913 Jayhawk
er Hope System Won't
Be Continued
The Jayhawker proposition isn't quite dead yet, says Asher Hobson, manager of the 1913 annual.
"Allison and I expect to sell about 100 more books yet, which will leave us about $500 in the hole," remarked Hobson this morning. "We'll put our notes for that and keep the price of this year's book up to '$2.75, now and forever,' but if you really want to make us 'sore,' just talk to us about letting the annual stay on its present basis.
The present plan can never be made to pay out. I am convinced of that, and I ought to know, because I find I didn't miss my estimate on the cost of this year's book $100. long before it went to press.
"The present book is too good a book for the University's willingness to buy. Outsiders who buy the book are using it to pay what it costs to out it out."
"The only solution, therefore, is to put out a much poorer book, or to use the $7.50 assessment plan outlined."
"The assessment plan should work.
It works at the Agricultural college,
where it is $10. No one stays out
and the book is published without a
leftoit.
"At present we are not expecting to make our salaries. We are hoping against hope that we'll pay expenses. And we're telling all our friends to leave next year's Jayhawker alone if the system under which it is put out is not radically changed."
Hobson wishes it distinctly understood that he and Allison are not calling for aid or whining. They are going to push the sale of the book from now until commencement is over and pay whatever deficit there is without batting an eye.
But both have decided opinions about some things.
CARRUTH WELCOMES
EQUAL SUFFRAGISTS
At the first meeting of the convention of the Kansas Equal Suffrage Association at the Baptist church last night Professor Carruth, on behalf of the Men's Auxiliary Association and the people of Lawrence, welcomed the women voters to Lawrence.
Others who made short talks were Governor Hodges, ex-Governor Stubbs, U. S. Guyer, ex-mayor of Kansas City, W. Y. Morgan of Hutchinson, and Dr. Charles M. Shoalden, head and author of *In His Steps*.
Mr. Morgan said he hoped the women legislators would support the University.
President, Marie Sealy; vice-president, Amabel Crawford; secretary and treasurer, Veda Lear. Miss Helen Hoopes will retain the office of corresponding secretary until January 1914.

1913-14 OFFICERS
The new sorority expects to affiliate with a similar chapter which will probably be organized at Illinois by Dean Johnson next year. Plans were also discussed for the sorority attending the state Teacher's Association at Topeka next November.

ALL ABOARD FOR ESTES PARK, COLO
Eight Students Have Decide to Attend Summer Session Y. M. C. A,
Eight University students, Elmer Burnham, Chas. Eldridge, Clair Deitrich, Howard Adams, Cale Carson, Bruce Hurd, Irwin Scott and Ralph Yeeman, expect to go to Estes Park, Colorado, to attend the annual Rocky Mountain All-Star game A. this summer for college men of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Wyoming.
The delegates leave Lawrence Monday June 9 in a special car on the U. P., picking up the men from Washburn, Aggies and Salina. Ralph Yoeman, secretary said this afternoon:
"Our small number as compared with Washburn, represented by 25 men, Baker with ten, the Agries with 25, is just a little bit discouraging. A school with our enrollment ought to have five times as many delegates as we have now. The expense of the trip is borne by the man who wishes to go. Since we receive no outside help as some other colleges do, this might account for it."
Emporia merchants last week gave one-tenth of their receipts to the delegates from the Normal and College. Registrar Geo. Foster was also involved in theence, and Hoffman, the new secretary for next year, will be present.
The courses offered will be: The Chinese Revolution; South American Problems; The Decisive Hour of Christian Missions; The family and Social Work; The Challenge of the Country.
REGRETS LOSS OF K. U. PROFESSORS
Suffrage Convention Resolves Against Migration — "Women Must Act"
Send the Daily Kansan home.
"It is a lamentable fact that there are almost as many inmates in the state institutions for the feeble minded and epileptics," she said, "as there are in the state University, Agricultural College, and the state Normal School. Something ought to be done to reduce the number of inmates of the state hospitals and increase the number of students in the educational institutions and I believe the women will do it."
That the women will increase the efficiency of the state educational institutions was the opinion of Mrs. Genevieve H. Chalkley in her address on "Our Elememsyaryinstitution"* that is being held in Lawrence*
Mrs. Chalkley introduced the following resolution: Resolved: That it be the sentiment of this convention that the Board of Control do all in its power to keep the teachers in the Kansas institutions from being drawn to other institutions. The resolution passed unanimously.
He has been practising in Topeka, and recently took a competitive examination for the position of interne in a big St. Louis hospital, being one of 45 chosen from the 222 who took the examination. He is preparing now for an examination to secure a license in Missouri, which is necessary before he can assume the duties of his new position.
Frank Jolley, who received his A. B. in medicine from the University in 1911, was on Mt. Oread today.
"It should be a source of regret to the women of this state that so many teachers in our higher institutions of learning are being drawn from the state," Mrs. Chalkley said, "Woman's part in education starts with the earliest culture and training and it should not cease when they eater the University. We should try to make the institutions of higher learning as efficient as the primary education in the home."

WITH A JAYHAWKER,
SOCKS OR HOSIERY
Hobson and Allison Launch Novel Plan to Sell
The Daily Kanse is not the only University publication that is offering an extra iduement to subscribers this week.
Annuals
To any one who will purchase a Jayhawk on Friday or Saturday of this week, and on these days only, will be given free the choice of two pair of men's silk socks or one pair of women's silk hose.
Hobson and Allison have arranged for big displays down town at Obers, and at Innes, Bulleine, & Co. From these places the footwear, may be obtained, absolutely free when a Jayhawker is purchased. The hosiery is the well-known Phoenix brand, guaranteed.
"If the merchants down town will support a student enterprise it looks as if the students themselves remarked Hobson this morning."
The two firms are giving this space to help Jayhawker sales in return for the advertising it gets them.

ORCHESTRA CONCERT TOMORROW IN FRASER
Dean Skilton's 30 Piece Organization Will Play Befor K. U. Audience
The annual concert by the University orchestra will be given tomorrow night in Fraser hall.
More lighter music than usual will be rendered, besides enough classical to appeal to the "highbrows."
An exceptionally strong orchestra, consisting of thirty pieces, has been organized by Dean Skilton. The solist will be Professor Morse on the violin and Miss Etta Smith of the Fine Arts school, vocal soloist.
A prominent number on the program is the "Dance of Death" written by Saint-Saens. In it the devil can be heard tuning his violin. Another attractive number will be "Large" by Handel which is played by all the violins, 'the piano and organ.
Practically the same concert will be given as was given in Bonner Springs last week at the commencement exercises there. Student tickets admit.

The meeting will take the form of an Estes Park rally. Emily Swick, Agnes Conrad, Mary Reding, Anne Malott, Helen Short and Elsa Zutavern, who represented the University at the Cascade conference last summer, will put on a series of Cascade stunts.

For the modest sum of thirty-five cents for each person a four-course dinner was served. The girls prepared the meal, served it, and acted as hostesses to their faculty guests.
643 OUT OF 763
WANT K. C. GAME
Answers to Meservey's Letters on K. U.-M. U.
Thanksgiving Game
TIGER GRADS FAVOR CHANGE
But Regents Decide About Having Turkey-Day Show on College Or In City.
the president of the Missouri alumni association also sent out similar letters recently and it is understood that the Missourians were even more in favor of the Kansas City game than Kansas alumni. Later on when all the answers are in President Mesery will give all the reasons assigned by the alumni, both for holding the game at Kansas City as well as those for holding the game on college grounds.
Out of 763 answers to nearly 1000 letters to K. U. alumni asking whether the Missouri-Kansas football game be changed back to Kansas City or not, Edwin C. Meresy, president of the K. U. alumni association, received 643 replies favoring the game being played. The team's 120 favored holding the game on college grounds or were noncommitted.
Final decision on the matter lies with the new Board of Administration.
FRESHIES SUNBURNED
They Paddle To K. C. A La Bathing Suits and-- Oh My!
Allcott Mendenhall, a freshman in the College, and Walter Root, of Kansas City, paddled down the Kan- town in a canoe to Kansas City Sunday.
They left the landing below the dam at 4 a. m. in the morning and reached Kansas City eight hours and a half later.
The men foolishly wore bathing suits and as a result got so badly sunburned that it has been almost impossible for Mendhench to attend classes since his return yesterday.
J. D. DANA A GREAT
GEOLOGIST-PREACHER
Prof. W. H. Twenhofel of the department of geology spoke in chapel this morning on James D. Dana, America's greatest geologist and one of the world's greatest geologists.
Dana entered Yale at 17, and his work there in mathematics and the classics was so poor that he could never have made Phi Beta Kappa. Years later, however, he was made professor of geology at Yale.
"As an instructor," said Professor Twenhoef, whn knows Dana's son, "he knew each student by name, and went on long walks with them about New Haven. If one may judge by the number of walks gained more from the walks with their instructor than from their books."
