BUY CHRISTMAS GIFTS TO
START EDUCATION CAMPAIGN
K. U. students and faculty members want to educate their friends outside the borders of the state in the merits of Kansas.
An army of undergrads have already stormed the Daily Kanese office and carried away copies of Prof. Carl Becker's monograph on "Kansas," a romantic little essay on how a people fell in love with a great state. For Christmas gifts to convert aliens, nothing could be more appropriate, declared the purchasers. The booklets are still on sale at the Daily Kanese office for twenty-five.

MASQUERS ALL READY FOR FIRST CURTAIN
Manager Cain Too Ill Direct Today's Final Dress Rehearsal

Final preparations for the play have been made. Tonight a last dress rehearsal will be held, using the scenery and costumes which arrived from Chicago and Kansas City last Saturday night.
William Cain, manager, has been unable to direct the show the last week owing to severe illness which has confined him to his bed. The cause of his illness is unknown, but is thought to be hip trouble.

Why dogs howl, and cats yowl,
when by all the laws of nature they
should be asleep, will prove interesting
to many. There is no authoritative
statement, however, that this will
be explained in the lecture.

Blinco jumped from the wheel and was uninjured. The bicycle was crushed under the wheels and the front lamps in the car were demolished.
SQUIRRELS SHOULD NOT GO HUNGRY THIS WINTER
er, the skeptics tweedled their thumbs and remarked, "Impossible." Like when Elw Whitney fixed up a machine with a laser pointer, she winked at one another and tapped the seat of intellect with a knowing foreinger.
And now when Greenwood County comes forth with an invention, not for taking the seeds out of Freshmen's hair, but a machine for cutting all hair, Freshmen to P. S. B., the public, skeptic as usual, believes that the only way to avoid looking like Rip Van Winkle after his twenty-year snooze, is to slip the barber two bits every fortnight.
When McCormick invented the reap-
er, the skinties tucked their thumb.
"You place this helmet contrivance on your head thus," and he clapped it down on the reporter's think tank.
"We were granted our patient last week," said a member of the club this morning, "and may therefore safely yield up its secret.
RESERVE "K" LIMITED WILL OPPOSE MILL TAX
Only Varsity Football Subs to Receive Consolation Letter, Says Coach Mosse
"Some misunderstanding seems to have resulted from the announcements of two pewards for work in football announced recently, the loving cup awarded to Coach Arthur St. Leder Moser this morning.
"You see there are thousands of little holes in the plate each one just big enough for a single hair to stick out. Now you tighten this screw until the hairs stick out of the holes, just the right distance." The Greenwood county inventor twisted something until the shiny plate bristled with hairs.
"This done, you singe off the outstanding hairs and you have the neatest haircut it is possible for modern science to produce.
"I have heard considerable comment to the effect that the cup is to be the same one each year. The cup will be a new one each year, and will remain the permanent property of the man who wins it.
"As to the reserve "K," some seem to have the opinion that such an emblem will be awarded the Varsity subs in basketball and baseball. This is not true. Only football subs will receive the emblem. The men on the regular minor sport teams will be given a letter
Miss Anna E. George, the foremost American exponent of the remarkable Montessori sense training method of educating children will lecture before the students in chapel Wednesday afternoons
that will be about the same in books as the reserve football "K," but the subs on these teams will not receive any letter. By minor sports is meant swimming, wrestling, tennis and like kinds."
INNA E. GEORGE TO TELL OF MONTESSORI METHOI
"We have contracted with the Great Western Stove Company to manufacture 500 of the articles, and as we go home for Christmas in our special car we are told by the company that way. Later demonstrations will take place on Mondays and Fridays in Room 110 Fraser for students and the faculty.
the practicability of Henry George's single tax was argued in the meeting of the Oread Debating club, Friday evening. The affirmative was upheld by E. L. Bennett, J. C. Brunting and E. R. Moody, J. H. Probst, H. V. McColloch and C. H. Cory argued the negative. The decision was left to a vote of the club who gave it to the negative. The Oread club has challenged the Cooley club for a championship debate during exposition week.
Miss George is the only person in the country who has had personal work under Mme. Montessori. At present Miss George is the only one who has had the responsibility of being prepared to satisfy the complex demands of establishing a model Montessori school, and to deliver lectures from personal experience. Miss George will fully explain the methods of the school and its advantages over the old style of teaching.

Oreads Settle Single Tax
Jinxton County Club Will Ai Its Views on Important Subject
Subject
President Marley Brown received a letter Friday afternoon from Bert S. Simpson, president of the Jinxton County Club, which contained a resolution passed by the club expressing itself opposed to the mill tax. The resolution is as follows: "We the members of the Jinxton County Club, hereby resolve that we are not in favor of the mill tax and will do all we can to defeat it. Signed B. S. Simpson pres., Lunice Staton, secretary." Below this was written: "Our representatives will be at meeting Tuesday and tell you why."
The Central Organization of County K. U. Clubs will settle a fierce and stormy fight which is raging in its midst at a meeting of all county club representatives, Tuesday afternoon, at 4:30, in room 116 Fraser. The Chancellor or some member of the faculty will be present to answer any questions asked during suggestions. He will also answer all objections raised against the mill tax.
GRADS TO STUDENT COUNCIL?
This letter caused quite a commotion among the officers of the Central Organization of County Clubs, and it is rumored that an effort will be made to expel representatives of Jinxion County from the organization. The rest retract their statement in the letter and will work for the good of the organization.
P. S. B. Will Petition for Entrance at Chapel Tomorrow.
At a meeting of the Graduate School held Friday it was decided that the school was to be governed by the same rules that the other schools now are. It was also decided that the graduate students would agree to hold their election for student council members in the spring the same as other schools instead of in the fall as they have previously desired. There will be several candidates.
The question as to whether or not the Graduate School shall be represented in the student council will be decided at a general mass meeting of all students to be held at chapel tomorrow.
"Louie" and "Bugs" Still Going.
The Kansas boys keep turning up.
Louis Lacoss, last year editor-in-chief of the Kansas, is now working on the Kansas City "Star," and says he likes it.
“Bugs” Ferguson, perpetrator of the Olathe matter hoax, until recently on the Kansas City Post, is now with the Atchison “Champion.”
Commencing the first of the year the Daily Kansan will run a column devoted to the interests of students desiring to take temporary or permanent employment to help make their way through the University, and in the interests of employers looking for help on the spur of the moment. In other words, a column given over to "want ads" will be maintained.
...
To any student desire to find work three insertions of an "ad" of not over 15 words will be run in this column free of charge. Similarly, to any employer desiring student help, this column will be open for three insertions.
In order to avoid any embarrassment to parties using this column each advertiser will be known by a number and all adds will be answered by such number.
Y. M. C. A. ISSUES HANDSOME BOOKLET
"Character-Service" Contain Record of Past, Present, And Future Activities
The University Y. M. C. A. has just issued a sixteen-page pamphlet entitled "Character-Service." It contains a record of the work of the president and a statement of the present situation and some suggestions for the future.
Among other things there is a statement by E. T. Colton, associate secretary of the International Committee of the Y. M. C. A. A. Mr. Colton was formerly traveling student secretary for the colleges of the west and states that he believes "enough in and states that he believes "enough in women of Kanaas to feel sure that maintain the high standards of character in the state and will therefore not withhold from the University Young Men's Christian Association anything in the way of men, equipment, or support which may be asked for within reason."
A nine years' record shows that while the number of men in the University has increased from 833 in 1903-04 to 1432 in 1911-12, the number of members in the association has increased from 245 to 525 or from 29 percent to 37 per cent of the men of the University.
No More Free Posters
"The year 1911-12 in retrospect" shows that there have been some 'big days' in association work. President Taft, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., spoke on The Young Men's Christian Association as a World-Wide Influence'. Other prominent speakers were: Dr. Winfield S. Hall, of Northwestern University Medical College; George Sherwood Eddy, International Secretary for Asia; J. K. Codding, warden Kansas state penitentiary; Raymond Robins, of Chicago, working in connection with the Men and Religion Forward Movement; Dean Walter Taylor Sumner, chairman of the Vice Commission of Chicago.
Some sage once pointed out that root things don't never do last for a long time.
good things don't never do last forever. And they don't never do. The ancient's epigram has been corroborated right on the University campus. Last week the press of the department of journalism announced that it had 1,100 football posters to throw at the students. Today from the same source comes an announcement that the posters are all gone.
The Christian Science society of the University of Kansas will hold its regular meeting Tuesday, December 17th at 7:00 p. m. in Myers hall. All members of the University are invited.
K. U. Pharmacists in Demand
North Dakota and Indiana are coming to Kansas for their pharmacists. Dean L. E. Sayre received requests from North Dakota and Indianapolis, this morning for two men who have their bachelor of science degree. The salaries offered were $1400 per year for the former and $1200 for the latter position with prospects of an increase to $1,800 and $2,000 per year respectively.
Lieutenant Uttterback of the Kansas National Guard will address the members of the National Rifle Association on "Ranges" in the gymnasium at 7:30 this evening.
Coal Supply Low.
The coal supply at the University is again short, there being only enough on hand to last until the middle of the week. However Mr. Brown said this morning that he had placed an order for ten cars with a coal company and that eight were expected from the penitentiary at any time.
UNIVERSITY NEEDS
JUST $1,917,023.17

Regents Prepare Budget Showing Amount Necessary for Next Two Years
SECOND IN STATE SERVICE.
Only One Other School Does More for Commwealth While Forty Receive More Money per Student.
Pointing out that the University was returning mre to the State in direct service work than any other American University except one, the regents of the institution this morning submitted to Auditor W. E. Davis their statement of the requirements for the maintenance of the present high standard during the next two years.
The regents, in preparing the budget, made a study of conditions at forty other state universities and found that Kansas ranked second among them in this feature of helping the citizens, in spite of the fact that but four of these institutions receive less for each stanthan Kansas. The report calls attention to the fact that because of insufficient funds, the State was unable to hold Professors Hond, McClung and Robert Kennedy Duncan, all experts in their lines, who were drawn away last year by Michigan, Pennsylvania and Pittsburg.
State Service Work Growing.
To keep Kansas among the twenty-two first class universities designated by the United States Government, the regents found that $549,188.97 a year was necessary for the general maintenance. For carrying out and broadening the 40 odd lines of state service work, the regents ask for $43,229 for the first year, and $42,375 for the second. Demands for this work have grown so within the last year as to compel the University to take $55,000 from its teaching fund.
Closely related to the state service work is the extension department for which $24,860 is needed for the first year, and $29,790 for the second.
For the School of Medicine and the State Hospital at Rosedale, which has ministered free to 1511 patients since it opened its doors only a year ago, the legislature will be asked to appropriate $16,458,888 and $41,568,888 for the two years. Eighty thousand dollars is included in the completion of the main section of the hospital building and for the erection of a laboratory building at Rosedale.
Building Repairs Necessary
Building Repairs' necessary
For upkeep of building, the demands were forced to ask a large increase due to the fact that in recent years inadequate has been made for this purpose. Many buildings, as a result are in a deplorable condition and repairs to the amount of $119,427.66 must be made at once.
"The budget is on a basis of economy below that of most State Universities," said Chancellor Strong, chairman of the Board of Regents. "For example, I have just received the budget of the University of California for which the state provides almost 60 per cent more money per student than we have asked."
Money for the central section of the college building for which the foundation has been laid, is asked, $186,000 for the first year and $50,000 for the second. The first section of a building for the School of Education and a biological laboratory are included among the buildings asked for.
Chemists Elect Officers
At the annual meeting of the Kansas City section of the American Chemical Society, in the banquet hall of the Kansas City Y. M. C. A. last Saturday evening, the following officers for the coming year were elected: President, L. S. Bushnell, head chemist for the Armour Packing Company at Kansas City; vice-president, Prof. L. D. Haverhill; councillor, E. H. S. Bailey; secretary-treasurer, W. B. Smith, with the U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry at Kansas City; assistant secretary, Prof. C. C. Young.
Prof. H. L. Jackson, of the Water Analyses department, read a paper on the presence of tin in canned foods, which he is at present investigating. Prof. E. W. Bushong reported on the use of boron in food products which met in New York last fall Professor Bailey talked upon the condition of the food markets of Europe.
