COMMITTEES PREPARE TO PASS ON BUDGET
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 24, 1913.
Ways and Means Boards To Consider K. U. Needs Next Week
Special to the Daily Kansan.
It is probable that the attention of the ways and means committee will be occupied the greater portion of next week with the matter affecting the 1914-15 appropriations for Kansas University, the state Agricultural College, the state Normal and other schools. J. N. Herr, chairman of the house ways and means committee, has stated that representatives of every school seeking an appropriation would be given an attentive hearing, but that the committee would look for the items that could be eliminated from the budget without materially injuring the schools.
Special to the Daily Kansan.
Topeka, Jan. 24—Next week the ways and means committees both of the house and senate will meet in joint session to consider the education bills. Institutions are now being sent to all heads of the various educational institutions seeking appropriations at the hands of the state and these men will attend the meeting when the budgets of the several schools are considered.
Much Work Required.
"It is a big job," said Herr. "We want to keep appropriations down as much as possible. At the same time we do not want to impair or impair the schools. For that reason we want all the information we can get and the college heads will receive every attention and consideration when they come to Topека next week."
The exact date for taking up the educational appropriations has not been determined. Under the terms of a resolution adopted in both houses, the appropriation bills must be reported by the ways and means committee not later than February 15. It will require an entire week—possibly two weeks—to dispose of the educational budgets. Then comes the appropriations to the state departments and penal institutions.
Will the joint investigating committee begin work in the state house or in the educational institutions? That is a question which has aused considerable discussion in the state house this week. With the educational appropriations pending, it is rumored that the committee may make a preliminary investigation of the educational institutions to determine if possible whether the corps

SENATE WILL COME
House May Also Accept Chancellor's Invitation to Visit Mount Oread
The state senate will visit the University some time during the present legislature session, according to a vote of that body yesterday afternoon. The vote was in response to an invitation to the legislature to visit the University, ex-regular days ago by Chancellor Frank Strong.
The statement that merely the ways and means committee would come is not true. The acceptance is not received, and no visit of their visit has not yet been fixed.
The house of representatives was also included in the invitation issued by the Chancellor, but they have as yet taken no action on the matter.

JUICY JUNIOR PLUMS BEGGING THESE DAYS
As Yet No Announcement O Candidacy for Salaried Jayhawker Offices
Up to time of going to press this afternoon, not a single person had announced himself as a candidate in the coming election for editor or manager of the annual for next year.
LEONARD FRANK WILL NOT COACH AT OHIO?
The date of the election, which is Feb. 18, is only a little over three weeks off, and the two factions of the junior class will have but little time in which to get their machines oiled up nicely. Usually a good deal of rivalry is evinced in the race for these offices, but so far no one has even so much as intimated that he would run, even if uured a little.
The Student Council decided this fall to make both positions salaried, and voted to place the manager's salary at $100, and that of the editor at $100.

Admitted to State Bar
Arrangements For Head Men tor Job Fall Through— Goes to Missouri?
Coach Leonard Frank will probably not go to Ohio State. This was his decision this morning after consideration of the offer from that institution. The assistant coach refused to disclose the reason for his refusal, but it is rumored that it was on account of insufficient financial inducements.
This means that Frank may go to Missouri. The sentiment of the Tiger student body is in favor of accepting him and it only remains for the regents to approve of Coach Brewer's suggestions concerning the matten. If these are approved Frank will become track, basket-ball and football mentor of that school. It is evident that Frank will not stay at Kansas and if he does not go to Missouri he will accept some of his other offers. The former Minnesota star wishes to secure a position as head coach and also is after a raise in salary.

MASON SPEAKS ON RECALL OF JUDGES
Tells Chapel Audience Agitation For Such Legislation Will Continue
"I believe that agitation in favor of some kind of judicial recall will continue," declared Chief Justice Henry F. Mason of the Kansas supreme court in chapel this morning, where he addressed the largest assemblage of students that has gathered there since the football season closed, "and I further believe that legislation will answer that demand, but I will not prophesy that legislation will demand that a judge will have to drop his routine legal position to go out and stump the state in order to keep his seat on the bench every time he renders a decision that does not exactly suit the people at the time it is made.

Seniors, Juniors and Freshmen Hold Meetings at Once to Consider Plans
The matter of class memorials will be pushed forward at once among the three classes that have as yet taken no action on the matter, according to statements made this morning by the presidents of the senior, junior, and freshman classes. "Personally, I am heartily in favor of the movement," said Dan Haxen, president of the class of 1914, "and although the junior class is at press condition financially I feel sure that our proposition will be considered favourable and that the class will leave a monument on the campus that it will not be ashamed of.
"A meeting of the class will be held shortly after the opening of next semester to consider the plans for the Prom and the memorial matter will be brought up at that time." President Elmer Whitney of the class is morning that the proposition would be made to the class at the next meeting which will probably be called soon after examination week.
"I have called a meeting of the freshmen for next Monday after hygiene especially to consider the memorial proposition and by having the 'meeting at a time when a large part of the class will be present we will be able to take action on the class will express the will of practically the entire class," said Bonnie Reber, president of 1916, today.
"I have talked to a great many of the men in the class and all of them have said they were heartily in favor of leaving a memorial on the campus and I feel sure that this will be the sentiment of the class as a body when it comes together on Monday."
