Two undergrads who returned to Lawrence on Saturday, in their anxiety not to miss any classes, decided to try the skating on Potter lake Sunday afternoon. Their ears were full of excitement and amazed during the puff up the hill, and the happy undergrads anticipated a glorious afternoon.

The ice was decidedly rubbery. The Giants stroke became shorter, and he decided to return to the bank. The Ice cracked, broke, and he took a cold bath. The Runt says the Giant looked fibre wading out, but he got the impression the opinion of person at the time. It would have been indirect.
Skates were hastily adjusted, and the larger of the pair boldly stroked forth. The Runt concluded that if the ice would hold the other it was safe for him, and that only one needed to risk his life.
"William Cain, who was confined to hospital during the holidays, hopes to be able to return to school some time this week. His condition is much improved and he is able to walk with the aid of two canes.
Perhaps it was because it was Sunday. Some people want to tack that moral to the story, but the undergrads themselves say that is just a little too thin.
THAT $800,000 DORMITORY
No well meaning tax-payer wants to deny our state University any essentials that will improve the educational facilities of that institution. A reasonable appropriation is perhaps in order, but the demand for nearly two million dollars is too much, one takes into account some of the purposes for which the money is to be used. One of these plans is to build a students' dormitory, lavishly furnished, and calculated to cost the $800,000. Why pay three-fourths of a million dollars for students' quarters, when there are today enough modern homes in Lawrence, within easy walking distance of the University ready to ac commodate 1000 or more students, with all the conveniences afforded. With this fact known, where is the need of the useless expenditure of $800,000? As such constitute the University's cry for a two-million dollar appropriation, the new legislature should cut them down without a cent. It smacks of graft—Editorial from the Paola Western Spirit.
We subscribe heartily to the above with but one exception. The University is not asking one cent of the legislative for a dormitory. Now that this obovious item is eliminated we shall expect Brother Sheridan to stand by us on the rest of the budget.

Brings Bumper Crop of
Records at K. U.
Kansas shouldered past several records in 1912 and its State University lunged ahead at an equal rate. Yearly reports filed with Chancellor Frank Strong this week show that the institution made a healthy advance in a score of directions.
A gain of 138 students over 1911 was the growth in attendance and the total enrollment for the year will reach a figure close to 2600 when the second semester students arrive.
Fifty thousand citizens received direct aid from the extension division through its home-study courses, University lectures, package librarian reference bureau, the program service and lantern slide series.
Diverted from teaching funds,
$55,000 was used by the University
in paying the salaries of experts directly serving the people. The Board of Health secretary, Weights and Measures inspector, Food and Drug Inspectors and Analysts, State Game and Fish Warden, State Sanitary Engineers, Water Analysts, and others were paid by the University.
The largest fish hatchery in the world, devised by Prof. Lewis L. Dyche, and erected under the supervision of the University regents was dedicated at Pratt.

From the University hospital at Rosedale, 1511 citizens received free medical aid and advice.
University sanitary engineers helped 111 Kansas cities and towns in municipal problems, erecting plants and preventing typhoid epidemics.
Prof. C. M. Young invented system for washing coal which would save $5000 a year to the Lansing state mine alone.
Hundreds of samples of food and drugs sold in state were tested in K. I.
To exterminate the San Jose scale, 332,000 trees were inspected by the department of entomology. Spraying was ordered for 81,000, and a great many orchards were saved as a result.

DR. WARTHIN TO_TALK ON "SEX PROBLEMS'
Will Address Meeting in Bow ersock Under Auspices of. Y. M. C. A.
Dr. A. S. Warthin, head of the pathological laboratories of the University of Michigan, will speak at the Bowersock theater Sunday afternoon, January 12, under the joint auspices of the University Y. M. C. A. and the City Association. The subject of the lecture will be "Sex Problems."
Dr. Warthin is a man of the highest scientific standing and is a very attractive lecturer. The address which will be delivered here is one that has been heard by practically every student of the University of Michigan for the last fifteen years and is one of the most popular extension lectures offered by that school.
It is through the influence of Dean C. H. Johnston that Dr. Warthin has been obtained. The two are close friends, Dr. Warthin having written one chapter in Dean Johnston's book on High School Education.
GLEE AND MANDOLIN CLUBS MAY COMBINE
Proposed Spring Concert First Move Toward Affiliation of Organizations
MAY ADD BANJO CLUB ALSO
Triple Concert Would Give Varied Program and Fellow Practice in Larger Universities.
It is probable that the students will hear the University Glee and Mandolin clubs in a combined concert sometime in the spring. There is a rumor that plans are being made between the management of the two organizations for such a concert.
The dual concert will be the first step in a proposed plan to unite the two musical clubs into the University of Kansas Glee, Mandolin and Banjo club. The scheme of forming a combined club is in accordance with the custom in the majority of the larger universities, where the clubs are combined. The glee club has a membership of sixteen men, and the mandolin club of about fourteen.
At the present time the managers of the two clubs are forced to work in conflict in the matter of trips and concerts. With a combined club of thirty men combining the vocal and the instrumental music, a more varied and interesting program would be given.
The glee club will give its first concert of the year in Kansas City in the Westport high school auditorium the evening of January 24. The managementes of both the glee and mandolin clubs are in communication with the Santa Fe for one of the reading room trips to the Pacific coast which was taken by the singers last year. As yet no encouragement has been received from the Santa Fe.
The K. U. Debating Society will hold its regular meeting Thursday evening at 8 o'clock in room 313 Fraser hall.
OUR BIRTHDAY
The University Daily Kansan today lights the first candle on its frosted Birthday cake. Just one year ago, the old-tri-weekly stepped aside to let the robust infant crowd into its place.
So kind were students, alumni and faculty in their approval and support of this newspaper youngster and so generous were the merchants of Lawrence that on its first birthday the Daily Kansan nods gratefully to its record of second place in circulation among American college dailies and to its position among the leaders in publication of its class.
Published by the students themselves, having no connection with the University other than that of any other undergraduate activity, the Daily Kanan feels that its advance illustrates that the students themselves are keeping pace with the faculty and regents in making the "University of Kansas" a synonym for excellence.
THE BIG STORMS OVER NOW
SAYS NEWS WEATHER MAN
Mercury Fell Below Zero Last Night—Stood at 5 This Afternoon—Fair and Warmer Tomorrow.
This story should ordinarily begin with a quotation from "It snows, cried the school boy." That has been the custom but cold-blooded managing editors are murdering cubs for less now.
At two o'clock yesterday afternoon the mometer register five degrees above zero and last night it dropped to the zero point. The snow fall so far amounts to about 18 inches and is preparing clear skies and continued cold.
The weather observatory has been transferred from the department of H. P. Cady, professor of chemistry, to that of R. K Young, instructor in physics and astronomy. The change took place January 1.
REPORT OF FRANK'S DISCHARGE AN ERROR
IS IT COLD ENOUGH FOR YOU?
Chancellor Shows How Only Regents Determine Selection of Instructors
MOSSE MAKES STATEMENT
Head Coach Officially Denies Report
that he Fired Minnesota Helper
—Students Sign Petition.
The report that Leonard Frank, assistant football coach, will lose his position at the end of the year is without foundation, according to Chancellor Strong.
"Frank is a member of the faculty, and his election or removal lies wholly with the Board of Regents," he said today. "Recommendations as regards the election of instructors come from the heads of departments. The instructions must come from Dr. Naismith. The report that Coach Mosse has discharged Frank is entirely unofficial and erroneous."
Owing to conflicting reports indicating that Frank would not be here next fall considerable feeling was excited among University students just before the holidays and a petition was circulated, asking that Frank be retained again next year. Nearly 800 persons, students and faculty, signed the petition which is still in circulation and which will be presented to the Board of Regents. Coach Mosse today made the fol-
"Many reports circulated just before the holidays concerning the change in coaching for next year were misleading and erroneous. I had no intention of doing any injustice to Mr. Frank. He was given due notice that I could not conscientiously recommend him as my assistant for another year. My idea is that there must be complete harmony in the coaching system in order to assure a winning team. I did not discharge Mr. Frank; I understood that the matter of engaging assistants is entirely in the hands of the Board of Regents. All I could do was to make my recommendation, which I did looking wholly to the best interests of the University of Kansas football team."

"Arthur St. leger Mosez." Frank returned today from his vacation but expressed himself as having nothing to say, "I have made no decision yet as to the future," he said, "except that all students wishing to be in any of my boxing classes are hereby notified to be in the gym Thursday afternoon at 4:30 or they won't get in on boxing this year."
K.U.RIFLE CLUB ENTERS
Will Compete in Western Inter- Collegiate Indoor Rifle Matches
The Rifle Club at the University is sure shooting off a lot—
The University of Kansas Rifle Club, organized here early in the College year, has entered a team in the Western Inter-Collegiate Indoor Rifle matches. The first series will take place Saturday.
Practice takes place every night and the men who come out have a good chance to make the team. The ten men making the highest scores before that time will be chosen for the contest Saturday. The ten men who represent K. U. Saturday have not clinched their places for the markmen making the highest scores each week will be chosen.
Prizes will be given to the winning team, both to the team as a whole and to the individual members. A large silver loving cup will be the prize for the team and each member will receive a medal.
Students are urged to come out and practice for the team.
A regular meeting will be held Wednesday evening, but if three or more men want to shoot any time before then the gymnasium will be opened up for them.
