KANSAS WINS SECOND AT COLUMBIA 33-26
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 28.1918.
NUMBER 98
Southern Division Champion ship Practically Clinched by the Victory
PLAY WASHINGTON TWICE
Kansas Must Win One Game to Bag Title—Washington Could Tie it Up Again.
Kansas practically clinched the Southern division Missouri Valley basket-ball championship at Columbo and Memphis, where it won in Rothwell, gymnasium #3 to 26.
However, since Kansas defeated Washington easily in both games in Lawrence, Coach Hamilton confidently expects to bag both games at St. Louis in spite of the advantage Washington will have playing on a home court and probably in better form than they displayed here.
The game was fast and rough from the start, the first half ending with Kansas in the lead. In the second half Missouri made more goals than Kansas, but lost out on a number of free throws.
Kansas went into the game to fight from the first—and carried the game into Tiger territory, rushing the Missourians off their feet.
A letter from Coach Stiehm of Nebraska practically assures a Valley championship series of games, according to Coach Mosse, probably three in number.
This victory practically assures the Jayhawkers the Southern championship, but that will not be certain until Kansas has defeated Wash-
ton. The teams should defeat Kansas in both games tonight and Saturday the title would be tied up again between Kansas and Missouri.
REGENTS SING SWAN SONG.
Are Meeting Here Today For Almost the Last Time.
"Moriuri te salutamus," said W. A. Blackburn, a regent of the Agricultural College, in appearing before the ways and means committee of the house last week.
That is the feeling of the Regents of the University in their meeting today, which is one of the last they will hold. The new board to be ap- pared and appointed is due until June 1, but will begin its work soon after being named.
The regents at their meeting today transacted only routine business in order to leave everything in the best possible shape for their successors. In the afternoon, L. C. M. Ardle, the contractor who has charge of the contract for the foundation of the building, appeared before them to discuss for the completion of the excavation and the removal of the rock.
No degrees will be granted at this time since the faculty has not yet recommended any mid-year candidates for graduation.
All the regents were present at the meeting except Hon. J. A. Kim ball, of Salina, who is expected to arrive this afternoon.
Hopkins to Mississippi.
Prof. E. M. Hopkins, as the guest of President H. L. Whitfield, delivers a short course of lectures next week at the Mississippi Industrial Institute and College, the state college at Columbus, on certain questions in English teaching suggested by his recently published articles and reports of investigations.

'THE BONEDOME' A GERMANISCHEN HIT
Verein Play at Bowersock Last Night a Laughing
Success
"DER Dummkopf," a five act comedy by Ludwig. Fulda given at the Bowersock theater last night by the Bowersock ensemble to ensure success in spite of the bad weather.
Robert Woolery, who played the part of Justus Derus Dummkopf, and Eileen Burkarth as Doris Wigand, an American heirs, took the leading parts. Much of the real fun was produced by Linda Bald, a poet, played by Paul Schaefer, and Lisbeth, a coquette, portrayed by Elsa Barteldes.
The K. U. band will give its six concert in Fraser hall next Thursday night, March 6, at 8 o'clock. The first concert earlier in the year was very successful and a new program has been prepared for the second.
Second Band Concert Thursday
Marie Russ and Ada Cressman as maids, L. M. Starin, a lawyer, Freo Poos, a court usher, and Aaron Pienburg, as the judge, were entirely at home on the stage. Frank Speire in the character of the learn-doctor spoke clearly and correctly. George Fair, Harold Mattoon, and George Hamer, representing different vocations to the doctor, for the wealth of the deceased uncle, created much amusement by their scheming.
The play was produced under the direction of Miss Patti Hiatt and Edmund Bechtold, manager.
The plot centers about the will of Amadeus Beck, deceased, who leaves his money to the most impractical of his kinsmen, many of whom are of course desirous of having same Very naturally the "Bonedome" gets the money and is at once the object of much suffragette love-making.

Weather and Mexico May Have Upset Our Aesthetic Sensibilities-Griffith
Financially, the annual art exhibit this year has been a failure.
With over 2,000 students and the entire town of Lawrence to draw from, the $50,000 collection of paintings in the Administration building was collected less than 450 people during the two weeks of the exhibition.
BATTEN PREACHES THE 'MODERN SAMARITAN'
Must Cure As Well As Prevent, Says Social Service Secretary
About 400 single admissions at 25 cents each, 30 season tickets at a dollar each, and 4 family tickets at $2.50 each were sold, making a total revenue of less than $150, which is far less than the expense entailed in collecting and exhibiting the pictures.
The deficit, which has not yet been determined, will be made up from the pockets of the 120 guarantors who are Lawrence business men, pro-ferers. In the aggregate the deficit will be smaller individual assessments will be small.
Professor Griffith, who has charges of the exhibit, is at a loss to understand the light attendance. "I can't account for the big decrease in attendance over preceding years," he said this morning. "Heretofore we have always made expenses with a safe margin left over. The paintings are good and the foremost artworks have been represented. The weather of course has affected us but that is the only reason I can think of, unless," he added, "the Mexican war has upset our aesthetic sensibilities."
Secretary
"The Good Samaritan Up-To-Date" was the subject of the address in chapel this morning by Dr. Samuel Zane Batten of New York, who is associate secretary of the Social Service Commission of the Federal council of churches. Dr. Batten was years ago to pastor of the church in Neubram, Nebraska, of which Chancellor Strong was a member.
"There is a great deal of crime, poverty, misery, and sickness in the world today, which it is our duty as our militants to remedy," said Dr. Batten.
STUDENT CAFETERIA BECOMING PROBABLE
"Crime, poverty and sickness, have human causes. The thing to do is to get behind the act and discover the cause, and then eradicate it.

"It is our duty to help the needy, feed the hungry, and lift up those who have fallen. Conditions are still bad along the Jerico road; there is crime and evil which we must suppress.
SUPPLIES EXHAUSTED TODAY
"What is the good Samaritan up to date doing? Yesterday he built a hospital to cure the sick; today he is calling on the police to prevent car accidents, because they come highway robbers, for by removing the cause, the effect is cured."

"Sickness can be avoided by eliminating causes. Panama, a few years ago, was a veritable pest house. Then sanitary engineers took charge and cleaned up the country so that now it has the lowest death rate of any community in the civilized world. "It is a crime to be sick. The time is coming when, if a person dies before seventy years of age, a coroner's inquest will be called to investigate the death."
Girls May Continue Sandwiches And Coffee Out on the Lawn When Spring Comes.
BULLETIN.
At 11:30 today the "little cafeteria" was sold out, even to the smell of the coffee.
- * * * * * * * * * *
Prospects for the establishment of a student cafeteria are growing brighter with every sandwich sale, according to the report of the committee of the W. S. G. A., in charge of the "tite cafeteria" in Fraser hall.
The first day's sales gave a promising margin. Last Tuesday was a little dull, probably on account of the time and the sales promise to total a god profit.
"We are doing much better than we had ever hoped," said Miss Claribel Lupton, president of the association, this morning, "and it begins to look as if our little venture will in the near future grow into a profitable cafeteria.
"We are thinking of moving it out on the green, green grass when spring comes," suggested a representative, "where 'the dandelions wave and we our stately elms make big patches of shade.' We just haven't enough room here."

Ways and Means Committee of Both Houses to Meet Tonight
FURTHER CUTTING POSSIBLE
Reduction of Agricultural College and Normal School Appropriation May Mean Lowering K. U. Budget
Special to the Daily Kansan:
Topeka, Feb. 28.-Because the house ways and means committee has reduced the appropriations recommended for the state Agricultural College and State Normal by members of the senate committee, a joint session of the two committees will be held tonight to consider appropriations for all of the state educational institutions. The appropriations for Kansas University have not been considered by the house committee, but will probably be taken up in the joint session.
Many items in the appropriation for the Agricultural College and Normal have been whitted by the house committee. Chief among the reductions was the application of the knife to all building appropriations. The recommendations of the senate for maintenance and repairs has not been disturbed as yet, it is claimed, and the house members have shown no tendency to reduce these appropriations.
May Cut All Buildings.
building.
It is because of the density of the two committees to agree on the building allowance that has occasioned a special conference before the bills are reported to the legislature. House members have stood flatly for the refusal of funds for new buildings. They have removed these items bodily from the Agricultural College and Normal budget, it is stated, and will probably apply the knife to the appropriation for the new building at the K. U. medical school at Rosdale. There is probably but one thing that will save that item so far as the house committee is concerned. That is the intervention of Governor Hodges.
Whether the house committee will file a majority report in event they are unable to reach an agreement with the senate committee concernant, the committee's decision is a matter which members of the committee decline to discuss.
Bill May Cause Deadlock.
Just what the result may be, if the house committee does cut down the allowance as made by the senate committee, is causing administration leaders considerable worry. Governor Hodges desires that the session end not later than March 10th at the outside. Already members of the senate who are friendly to the educational institutions are talking about amending the executive and judicial appropriation bill, which was prepared by the house committee, and there is therefore a prospect that the two houses may be deadlocked over appropriations for several days, with everybody uncertain as to what the ultimate outcome may be. The matter has gone far enough now that no one thinks the legislature will adjourn before March 8th. Unless there is an immediate improvement in the situation, it probably will not quit that soon.
Student Returns.
Everett Johnson returned last week from a half term spent in Missouri University. He was a junior here last year but got the Missouri fever and last year K. U. only to return again.
Senior Leaves to Teach.
Miss Kate Daum, of Lawrence,
senior in the College, has been offered a position as teacher of domestic science in the high school at Globe, Ariz, at a salary of $110 per month. She will probably accept and leave for Globe in a few days and return later to take her degree.
Miss Galloo to Read.
Prof. E. Gallo of the French department will give a dramatic reading of French drama before the French club next Tuesday.
