One feature of the conference policy this year is to reverse the usual order of inspection of teaching and urge the high school teachers of the state to visit University classes and observe their former students at work, and the University methods employed in instructing them. Large printed schedules of classes will be found in the halls of the buildings and teachers are advised to plan this visitation systematically.
After-dinner speaking: Chancellor Frank Strong, John MacDonald.
KANSAS WINS LAST FROM CORNHUSKERS
Third Game at Manhattan
Goes to Jayhawkers
30 to 24
Kansas took the third game from Nebraska on the Aggie court last night and won the contest by the score of 30 to 24. The game was the roughest ever played on the K., A. C. court and Referee Hyland more than had his hands full with the continual fouling and roughing.
Kansas was the first to score as in the preceding night when Sproull dropped in a free throw. Then the two Kansas forwards aided by the splendid passing of the entire team counted on difficult goals. The first half ended with the Jayhawkers lead by a score of 21 to 13.
They Had More Stiehm.
In the second half the Cornushers made their rally and overcame the Kansas lead but the excessive fouling of the tebraksans gave the chance to choose to bow how he counted heavily. The game ended with the Jayhawkers playing safely with a small lead.
The Jayhawkers took the lead early and held it safely throughout the game. The Cornhuskers started a rally but the big lead which the Kansans had obtained could not be overcome. Hyde was put out of the game in the second half for personal fouls.
The feature of the game was the great guarding of Greenlees, the Jayhawker captain. He made several goals from difficult angles. Sproll also played a strong game, throwing one goal and making ten free throws. Weaver got the jump most of the time on Myers, the Nebraska center. Underdow and Haskell who were the hope of Stiehm's team for a clean sweep were unable to count effectively.
The following is the score:
Aggies Cheers Jayhawks. Nebraska made two substitutions, Carrier taking Hyde's place, and Stryker replaying Myers. Many fouls were committed which were uncalled, and the continual rough work marred the contest throughout. The Aggie crowd cheered the Jayhawkers through the whole struggle.

UNIVERSITY COUNCIL MAKES NEW RULES
No More Dances Without Permission of Student Interests Committee
"No students or group of students may give or attend a dancing party during a session of the University which is thrown open to the public indiscriminately at a fixed price."
No student or group of students may give a dance without permission of the committee on Student Interests, and this permission will be granted only when the committee are satisfied that the dance will be performed by you and that it will not be thrown open indiscriminately to the public at fixed charges and that it shall close at the proper hour.
This is one of the sections of the new rules regulating student activities passed by the University council at its last session.
Its aim is to check indiscriminate dancing parties given under the name of the University and to put an end to other misuse of the University name for advertising purposes.
Saturday night dances must close at one o'clock, dances on other nights at one o'clock, except the Junior Prom, the Soph hop, farewell parties at the end of the year and formal dances established by student organizations will 2 o'clock. No dances may be given except Friday and Saturday nights and the nights before holidays.
All student organizations must file blanks with the Chancellor giving the purpose of the organization, and no organization may use the name of the University without the permission of the University seal may also not be used for decorative purposes without permission.
Breaches of these rules will be disciplined by the Student Coun-
K. U. Dames Meet.

Second Year Men Will Have Only Hundred at Stag—"Program Coming Nieely," March 19
"Only thirty-five more tickets for the Sophomore Smoker will be sold," said chairman Leon Howe this morning. "We shall be able to accommodate only one hundred at this smoker and sixty-five tickets are already out."
Plans for the program are well under way according to members of the committee. The Black Helmets have agreed to put on a stunt. Coach Frank is training three pairs of "white hopes," and some of the best speakers in the faculty have consented to talk.
The date of the smoker is March 19 instead of March 13, as was announced in a headline of Tuesday's Kansan.
THE THESPIAN "AVIATOR"
PROFESSIONAL SHOW
Best Amateur Production Ever Given by K. U. Students, the Verdict
"The best play ever staged by
satellites at K. U." is the general
verdict of those who saw the
Thespians' production of "The
Avilator" at the Bowersock last
night.
Clarence Sowers as Robert Street, author of "The Aviator," and Miss Cecile Burton as the Aviator's summer sweetheart, Grace Douglas, drew repeated appaise for the production in which they handled their parts.
The show was remarkable for the excellence of its minor characters. From the opening of the play till the final curtain the cast carried their parts through with great ease and effectiveness.
Albert Teed as Street's chum and "Chuck" Dolde as his publisher, displayed the dramatic ability in a highly pleasing manner.
Ward Hatcher as Sam Robinson, a mechanician, made a great hit with the audience in his humorous role and was called on to answer curtain calls.
The play was laughable all the way through with many ludicrous situations included in the plot. Street's chum, has told it about the hotel where the two are staying that the experiences related in the former's book and Street's own and that both are a great avia- street. Street, to shield his friend does not disclose the real truth but helps matters along by relating in glowing terms some of his imaginary experiences. Grace Burton, a guest of the hotel with whom he has fallen in love, urges him to race with a French aviator who arrives with two machines.
Street tries in several ways to avoid making the flight but is unsuccessful. In the end he secretly learns to operate the machine through Robinson the mechanician and wins the race and the girl.

The Sixth Annual Basket-ball Tournament of all high schools and academies of the state of Kansas begins Friday morning at 9:00 in Robinson gymnasium with forty-eight teams playing for the championship of the state. Sixteen teams of girls and thirty-two of boys are entered, the finals of which will be played off Saturday night.
This contest is the biggest of its kind ever held in the world, according to Manager Hamilton.
Manager Hamilton expects nearly five hundred contestants at the University for the meet. Nearly a hundred have not yet been accommodated. "Billy" Price is arranging accommodations for the boys and Miss Frances Black for the girls. Manager Hamilton hopes to avoid sending any of the visitors to hotels if it is possible to get places for them at boarding clubs and fraternity and sorority houses.
Three games an hour is the plan. The regular big gym floor, divided into two parts by a net, will enable two games at the same time there. A few of them will be played timely. All finals, however, will be played on the big regular court.
The four officials for the games other than University men are: Hoover, of Baker University's '08 ever-victorious team; "Phog" Allen an old "K" man and basket-ball coach; Clausen, an experienced teacher; and Ed. Van der Vries, also an old "K" man who is now principal of the high school at Sedan, Kansas.
