UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
NUMBER 149
VOLUME X.
$2.00 BARGAIN WEEK FOR DAILY KANSAN
Rates
May 19 to 24 Are Dates For Subscriptions At Old Rates
SUMMER KANSAN INCLUDED
Paper Issued During Hot Weather Session Goes Free to Those Paying Now.
Students and members of the faculty will be given an opportunity to re-subseribe for the Daily Kansan next week at the old price, $2.00 —provided they pay in advance. One week and one week only, is the announcement and the bargain dates are May 19 to 24.
"It is manifestly unjust," said the circulation manager today, "to increase the price of the paper without giving all of our subscribers a chance to pay up for another year if they so desire. More than ten per cent of our mail subscribers and a number of our local subscribers are paid into next year at the $2.00 price. These subscribers would not be charged an additional rate because they have already been receipted into the next school year, so in order to give everybody the same opportunity we will let all our subscribers know of this bargain week a time when they can all pay in advance for a year at $2.00.
"Only last Saturday Frank D. Messenger living at 841 Mississippi came in the office and paid up for Daily Kansan for next year. His subscription was accepted, of course, and now the entire list of Daily Kansan readers will have a similar chance."
Beginning on next Monday afternoon a coupon will be printed in the columns of the paper which can be used in accepting this offer. The coupon, together with the remittance can be mailed, or handed in at the office at the basement of the journalism building.
One inducement which should cause a large number to subscribe now is the fact that the Summer Session Kansan will be sent free to all who send in $2.00 next week. This paper will print all the news of the University Summer Session and it will be sent to any address by mail until the end of the six weeks session.
Last year a large percent of the students subscribed for the "little brother of the Daily Kansan" and they all seemed to enjoy reading about their friends who were swetering in the Mount Ouled class rooms. Anyone who paid in advances for the Daily next year will be given the Summer Session Kansan besides having the advantage of the old rate, $2.00. However, the subscriptions must be sent in next week.

MUSTSELL500ANNUALS TO MAKE ENDS MEET
Annual Editors Face Losing Proposition If Students Do Not Respond
With 800 1913 Jayhawkers sold, nearly 500 more remain to be disposed of before the book pays out according to the plans of the editors. "Tomorrow we will start a personal campaign of the faculty and of all students who haven't bought a Jayhawk," said R. G. Allison this morning. "We must sell the books to pay out."
"If the students of the University want an annual like this and last year's Jayhawkers now is their opportunity to show it," said Asher Hobson. "Fourteen hundred were printed. Of these the University took a hundred, and a hundred went to outsiders. This leaves 1200 to be sold among the students—one Jayhawker to each two students, and if that number can't be disposed of, it is evident that the students don't want, and should not have, a Jayhawker like the one we put out this year. I don't anticipate any great trouble in making ends meet; nevertheless, students haven't showed any remarkable interest."
STUDENTS MAY HAVE CLUB ROOM IN FALL
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 13, 1913.
Lee Bryant Offers Floor In Proposed Building—No Action Yet
Quarters for a Men's Student Union will be erected by Lee Bryant, if an organization of students and some assurance of stability is secured. If such an organization is made this spring, the quarters are made to be easily for occupancy when the University reopens next September.
"I expect to build this summer," said Mr. Bryant today, "and if the students of the University desire a floor for their club room I will build one for them. The dimensions of the building will be 50 by 80, and this should be ample. The floor can be partitioned off as desired. The rental will be about seven or eight hundred dollars per year, including heat and water. The building will be ready for use next fall, and if the men of the University desire it they can move in then."
There is some talk among the students to effect an organization and have the Student Union ready for occupancy next fall.
The subject for the lecture will be "Recent Developments in Fuel Investigations." Dr. Parr is probably the highest authority on fuel problems at States of the U.S., having made a life study of this matter.
The lecture will be delivered in the Chemistry building at 11 a. m. Twenty-five members of the association are expected from Kansas City. A luncheon for the guests will be given by the local members it one o'clock.
Send the Daily Kansan home.
Dr. S. W. Parr, head of the Applied Chemistry department at the University of Illinois, will speak at the last meeting of the Kansas City section of the American Chemical Society to be held at the University next Saturday.

WILL BE A SENIOR PLAY
AFTER $100 IS PLEDGED
Class To Circulate Petitions To Guarantee Expenses of Annual Show
Will the senior class give a play this year?" was the question that confronted the class this morning in a meeting at chapel time in Snow hall.
Miss Constance McCommon,
chairman of the senior play commit-
tee, spoke. "There is too little
interest shown in the play," she said.
"The class has 'laid down' and the
committee is working on such uncertain grounds that unless some definite action is taken to insure the committee the support of the class it is useless to go any further. The class is not trying to break the tradition previously established, but dramatics have been so completely over-done in the University this year that sufficient interest can not be aroused.
"The play will cost $200. The committee asks that petitions be circulated to get 100 signers who will pledge themselves to stand behind the play to the extent of $100, to be used if the play does not pay out."
Action was taken on the suggestion and it was decided to circulate the petitions this afternoon and tomorrow up to chapel time. All petitions are to be turned over to Miss McCammon tomorrow at the check stand during chapel.
About 75 seniors were present at the meeting.
KANSAS AND BAKER IN TENNIS FINALS
Doubles Championship o State Postponed, To Be Played Off This Week
The finals for the state championship in the tennis doubles for colleges in the state will be held between Kansas and Baker some time this week, either here or at Baker. The K. U. team, A. Johnson and J. R. Smith, will play Laury and Vauchn of Baker.
Send the Daily Kansan home.
At Winfield Saturday A. Johnson and J. R. Smith defeated the Southwestern team qualifying for the finals in this event. The finals were postponed on account of the rain Saturday and will be played some time this week.
News has come from South Africa of the death of William Harvey Brown, K. U. '87. Mr. Brown has been in South Africa for several years collecting scientific materials on a trip to "South Africa" which is well known for the extensive work shown in its preparation.
This same team from Baker defeated both Kansas men in the singles held at Winfield Saturday. Today they play the Southwestern team for the singles championship of the state.
Ar. Brown is a son-in-law of Exchancellor Snow, who resigned about twelve years ago. He was given a commission in the British army where he distinguished himself when he succeeded in taking Rhodesia for the British government. As a reward for his distinguished services as a soldier and scholar he was appointed mayor of Salisbury, a large city in South Africa.
The four men composing the team this year for Kansas are now playing match games for the trip to Missouri next week. Two men only will be allowed to make the trip. The men are: J. R. Smith, A. Johnson, E. Richardson, and H. Richardson.

Professor Hult, of the University of South Dakota, will speak on "Literary Longevity" in the Green room tomorrow afternoon at 4:30.
SUBJECTIVE EDUCATION
NEXT, SAYS SCHWEGLER
Individual Development the Key-Note of the 20th Century
Prof. Raymond A. Schwegeler of the school of Education spoke in chapel this morning on "A subjective factor in education." He emphasized the fact that education should be subjective rather than objective, that the needs of each individual should be met his talents cultivated, rather than that a class of pupils should be regarded as a unit.
"Education is the process of unfolding every latent capacity which lies wrapped up in the boy or girl. The 20th century idea of education absolutely transcends that of any of the past ages. We are going to develop a type of men and women superior morally, physically, spiritually and intellectually to all past or present forms of creation.
"For a thousand years," said Dr. Schweiger, "education has been objective. We have assumed that all individuals were standards. In the modern 20th century we are endeavoring to find out what are the individual capacities or latent tali of the individual in order to develop them.
"In years to come the first, most promising, far reaching life employment will be that of the educational specialist who helps the race through the period of adolescence to the fullness of maturity."

MIGHTY UMPTS-UMPS CHANGE SEATS TONIGHT
Dodd And New Council. To Supercede Coats And Followers
Another star is about to go out, another comet has all but flashed its entire way across Mt. Oread's heavens. Tonight "Doc." Coats becomes a "has-been"; tonight the new Men's Student Council elected last week goes into effect.
"I lay down the Caesarian mantel feeling that I—that now I can catch up in some of my work," says "Doc," in speaking of the approaching retirement. "I shall not make a long speech of welcome. Dodd will not be able to save myself for Students' Day." Following the official installation,
"DOC" COATS Retires as President This Year
which will consist of first collecting fees from new members, making a final report of the year's troubles, and a general summary of all unfinished business so that the new council will have a clean slate on the two questions. The council will hold a combined feed on the new members.
Following is the new lineup that takes effect tonight:
President, Leslie Dodd. Dodd is the third straight Engineer to head the council in three years. He is a member of Allemania, the German club, and stands well among students and faculty. He is pledged to follow energetically the pace set by Coats.
Vice-president, Dpn  Malcolmson.
Another Engineer.
Secretary-treasurer, Henry Maloy. This year Henry guarded the junior class funds. He will also endeavor to be secretary. He is a member of the Greenwood county spelling club and is also slightly known as a cartoonist on the Daily Kansan. He will act as publicity agent.

Annual Contest With Missouri On MeCook Saturday To Be Some Scrap
DOPE NOW IS UP IN THE AIR
Kansas Won Indoor Meet on a Second Place, But—And The Tigers Are Mad.
Although the overwhelming Jay-hawkier victory over Nebraska Saturday brought cheer by the buckets-aful to Kansas supporters, prospects are not too wonderful for the Jay-hawkers here next Saturday when they meet the Missouri Tigers on McCook Field.
This is the annual outdoor meet between the two teams and all forecasts of dopesters and dope point to contest. The two teams caught a tight contest ever staged on McCook.
In the annual indoor meet last March in Convention Hall, Kansas defeated the Tigers inside the first time. However, Kansas won by a slim margin of one point, and that was decided by the relay race. A closer contest had never been seen in Convention Hall, and the Tigers lost to Boston in Hamilton and his triumph of speedy athletes: "Wait till this spring; we'll get you." Saturday is the day scheduled for the "Getting."
The decisive victories over the Argies and Nebraska in the last two weeks were welcome and extremely pleasant to Kansas supporters, but these were secured over green and weak track teams. The Tigers are just the opposite. Missouri has defeated one of these same teams as well. Kansas has. This troch meet Saturday is no certain snap for Kansas. Coaches Hamilton and Mosse both realize this.
To the average track student who has watched the performances of both teams this year, both when pitted against each other and when meeting common adversaries, the meet looks like a certain tosse-up. A single second place may decide the meet for either side.
It was the same way in the indoor meet, when Malcolm's second place in the two-mile practically won the meet for the Red and Blue. A similar occurrence is looked for next Saturday and no one, dopesters, coaches, or the athletes themselves, can figure to any great extent at all how the contest will result.
Taking up the events one by one, Kansas is found to have a most decided edge in track events, and the Tigers in the field ones. This year their power has been and never will be particularly strong in field contests.
The meet last Saturday with the Nebraska Cornhuskers showed this fact plainly. Kansas did not get a single first place in a field event. But Kansas, in the cinder track this year, alopecy have taken the first for Kansas.
In the races, however, Kansas should take the lead. The sprints, the 100, 220 and 440 yard dashes, should go to the Jayhawkers easily, although a short distance race is always in doubt. However, the Giants' Daals, Hilton and Schwab the Jayhawkers need fear little worry.
The hurdles, however, up to this
stage doen't pose a significant
factory for Kansas in the Tigers.
The race between Nicholson and Hazen in both events will be the closest sort of contests. This Nicholson man has equaled the world's record in the 120 yard jumps, and is practically as good in the 220.
The half, mile, and two-mile should be Kansas winners without a doubt. Murphy, the fast Tiger distance man, who beat Hutto of the Aggies Saturday, may give Patterson a race in the half, but he will probably be forced to content himself with second place.
Now comes the coach's bug-a-boo, the field contests. Thatcher, the big Missouri weight man, a point winner for the Tigers second only to the Hon. John Patrick Nicholson, is sure to take the shot put and the discus.
