SENATE COMMITTEE WORKS ON K.U. BILL
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 14, 1913.
Will Probably Report Measure Back to Legislature at Tuesday Session
NEW BUILDINGS SEEM DOOMED
Present Disposition is to Give Full Amount Asked For Maintenance of Institution.
Special to the Daily Kansan.
All apportionation bills are due to be reported back to the Senate and House tomorrow under a joint resolution introduced early in the session with both the Senate and House, with one or two other measures, will be held over until next week.
Topeka, Feb. 14.—After working up to a late hour last night on the appropriation bill for the University of Kansas, the senate ways and means committee will take up the budget again tonight. A joint session with the house committee will then be held, and the bill will probably be introduced into the legislature Tuesday.
With the possible exception of the hospital building at Rosedale, all the requests for new University buildings will probably be denied. The reason is that in most cases it is to give K. U. the full amount asked for maintenance purposes.

NUMBER 88.
WILL DISCOURAGE COMICS
Faculty May Organize to Stop Sending Humorous (?) Valentines
“If any student with malicious intent sends a burlesque valentine to any member of the faculty because of personal grudge he should be presented with a condition in not less than three hours, and if the same person be found to have committed two offenses he should be punished by the department under the instructor to whom said valentines be sent.”
The above is Section 1, Art. 1 of the proposed, resolution that will no doubt be passed by the faculty for addressing the sending of comic valentines.
Recently a history professor was sent a valentine portraying said in individual, corpulent indeed, with glasses riding his prominent nose and his whole person exaggerated in a most humiliating manner. Tha's clearly been he has done, and the immediately began to interest other members of the faculty in an anti-valentine organization with the above result.

HE TALKED ON CRIME MORE WILL DELIVER Houston of State K. U. LECTURESERIES
Chaplain Houston of State Penitentiary Says Work is Man's Salvation
"Crime is a young man's disease and an old man's habit," said Reverend Thomas W. Houston, chaplain of the state penitentiary in chapel this morning in an address on "Crimes and Its Cure."
"The great majority of the men convicted are between sixteen and thirty years of age, which is the dangerous time for a man. It is the boys without home training, the men who are weak, who go wrong and come to the penitentiary."
"Work is the salvation of the man in prison as well as of the man outside. For man, whether in prison or out, the first lessons in citizenship and manhood are: Learn to work to obey, to play, to study, to pray." Harry Gowans of the Graduate School also sang before chapel.

W. S. G. A. Can't Supply Demand for Some Texts---- 150 Rented
VALENTINES DAY SAD FOR VENUS AND THE CO-ED CLUB
Miss Elise Fleeson was at the desk at chapel and was swamped with requests for Ely's and Seegar's Economics, Parker and Haswell Zoology, volume 2, Physiology 1, American Government by Beard; Hilles and Ford's grammars are especially in demand.
The association buys the book for $37.5% per cent of the original value and rents it to the student for 50 per cent. The student can sell the book back in the spring for 25 per cent of its original value marking. So you get the actual cost if it were bought new.
EXTENSION LECTURERS BUSY

Thursday 369 called to see how they had fared, and the procession continues today.
The store will close shop Wednesday till next spring.

However, I finally buttoned twenty five without accident, but the twenty sixth was too much.

TIGERS HERE LONGING TO FEED ON JAYHAWK
Missouri Comes to Oread Tonight Hoping to Win Division Championship
VALLEY HONORS AT STAKE
Winner of Series Will Meet No braska for Crucial Games of 1913 Season.
The hardest games of the season will be played tonight and tomorrow night, when the Kansas quintette meets Missouri on the Robinson gymnasium court. Coach Hamilton considers these the most important contests of the series, and if both are won the chances for the Missouri Valley championship are bright. One more game from Washington and one from Missouri, on their own court, will assure it.
The dope generally favors Kansas.
Missouri's basket-tossers are slated among the best in the valley this season, however, and these two games will undoubtedly be the fastest on the schedule. Coach Hamilton predicts a close score, but gives Kansas the long end by several points. The best team that Kansas ever turned out will go on the floor tonight. The men have been training steadily, and all are in the best position to practice. The practice has shown a marked improvement over the past week, and they are able to shoot baskets at will against the College team.
SOPHS TO SMOKE AND PLAN CLASS MEMORIAL
The valley championship probably lies between Missouri and Kansas, as Washington is almost completely out of the race. Out of the last 24 games played, with Kansas, Missouri has only captured one, and that was in 1908 on their own court. Accidents are likely to happen at any time, but if the Kansas team holds up to its practice form, this will doubtless be the only one out of 26 games.
The big game starts promptly at eight o'clock tonight, so as to be over at nine. As a curtain raise, a short preliminary will probably be played between the freshmen and the College.
Sons of 1916 Strong for Good Fellowship—Engineers Take First Step by Smoker Thursday.
The first sophomore smoker will be held next Thursday night in Eagles hall.
The sophomore class of the engineering school met yesterday in Marvin hall at chapel time to set the date of the first smoker. Allen Sterling, president of the class in the building, insisted that he instructed and appointed a committee to engage the hall and to prepare the program of the evening.
Early in the year the classes were called together to discuss some plan of procuring closer friendship by meetings of the respective classes and to leave a class memorial at the end of their senior year. The engineers have been quite active in the work. They have planned the first smoker to be followed by several more this year.

SOWERS AND MORRIS PLEASE
Former With Readings and Latter
With Bass Solos Score Biggest
Hits of the Evening
The Glee Club, at its winter concert made good with an audience that last night filled all the seats in the chapel and overflowed into standing room and window sills. The audience liked the entertainment the club provided and seemed unable to get enough. They encored enthusiastically the numbers by the club, the numbers by Clarence Sowers, and those deep bass solos by Lawrence Morris.
The audience was happily disposed and when the club marched in, resplendent in gleaning shirt fronts and full dress suits it was given a hearty welcome. The program began with some of the best known Kansas songs, followed by the "Song of the Vikings."
Came then Lawrence Morris with the Bass Viol." Clarence Sowers with readings and a solo number;仁尼 Wisdom with a solo, "When All be Bonny Bird;s;" and other numbers by the club. All won a welcome award for his found encore necessary. Just before Leave, Abe M. Goldman scored a hit with his imitation of the musical family across the street.
The second part of the program was less formal and in lighter vein. Baldwin Mitchell and the club in "Blue Eyes," the song written by Frank Ryan, '15, for the Glee Club, scored a hit; and "The Ghost of the Violin," by Clarence Sowers and Lawrence Morris, required a second encore before the audience was appeased. "Somebody's Comin' to Town," by Harold Wilson was heartily applauded, as were the readings by Clarence Sowers. "Heinie Waltz-Round On his Hickory Limb," by Lawrence Morris and the club, and "Row, Row, Row," by Clarence Sowers and the club, concluded the program.
"Portrait of Miss Appleton" in Art Exhibit is Really Harry Quinney
PAINTING HIDES TRAGEDY
Behind the paint and oil of one of the paintings in the art exhibit over in the Administration building lies a tragedy. The picture in question is a "Portrait of Miss Appleton" by Eugene Speicher. It was discovered a short time ago that the subject of the portrait was not a Miss Appleton but Harriet Quinby, the aviastion who was dashed to death in an aeroplane last summer.
Miss Quinby and the painter were very intimate friends and it is thought that the painting hides a romance, which was cut short by her death. The painting was passed by her grandmother at an exhibition several months before it was discovered that the fortunate bird-woman was the subject of it.
JUNIOR PROM EARLY
THIS YEAR—APRIL 4
The junior prom this year will be given on Friday, April fourth, which is somewhat earlier than in former years.
"We have set the date early so that it will not conflict with the Exposition to be held in May, and so the weather will not be too warm for dancing," said Manager Edward Boddington this morning. A num-ber new features will be introduced but the prom will be formal as usual.
Managers Boddington and Strickland are making elaborate preparations, and promise the classiest pron ever given. Their advice is: "Make sure everything is good, and report them to the invitation committee as soon as possible."
