NEBRASKA NOT ON BASKETBALL LIST
Management Will Not Play Cornhuskers This Season If Avoidable
Nebraska will not be on the Jayhawkier basketball-ball schedule. This is the official statement of Manager Hamilton in regard to the scheduling of this year's contests for the Kansas basket tossers.
The schedule has not all been made out but it is certain no game will be scheduled with the Cornhuskers unless perchance the Stiehm prodigies should win the championship of the northern division. In that case Kansas, if victor in the southern division of the conference, will probably play a post-season series to settle the championship.
For this reason Coach Hamilton will schedule no game unless positively necessary as Kansas does not wish to have any such trouble as occurred last year. In place of the Nebraska games Kansas may play Ames or some of the other members
The trouble all dates back to last year's squabble when Coach Stiehm refused to let his men play a post season series because the Easter vacation had begun and other obvious reasons. As a result last season's championship was never decided.

The schedule will be made out next Saturday at a meeting of the officials and coaches of the Missouri Valley Conference.
McMaster Will Address E. E.
Mr. K. L. McMaster, of the Kansas City Electric Light Company, will address the electrical engineers in Marvin lecture room Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. The address will be a rather technical lecture on "The Electrical Power Distribution."
Professor Wileox will give an illustrated lecture on the Acropolis of Athens Friday afternoon at 3:30 in the Greek room, 206 Fraser. All members of the University and the general public are invited.
Pan Hellenic Council of the University of Illinois has adopted resolutions discountening hazing. The council is made up of representatives of the various Greek letter fraternities and its action will, it is thought, have a decided bearing on the question. Several other student organizations are called the University Illinois Student union and the College of Agriculture club have taken similar action in the past—Illinois.
IOWA. — Considerable discussion has arisen since the removal of the engineering college from here to Ames, and several noted state educators do not think the plan was a good one.

MATERIAL NEXT YEAR WILL BE ABOVE PAR
Every Varsity Man Back But Captain Brownlee and Price
THE KICKING WILL BE STRONG
Two Place Kickers and Drop Kicker
—Freshmen Dope to Make Varsity Fight for Place.
"Prospects for a winning team next season are the greatest ever," is the way Coach Mosee puts it when discussing next year's football prospects.
And there is every reason for this feeling of confidence in the Jayhawk mentor for the material judging from the present standpoint, promises to be far above par. But two men of equal square are certain of being missed, the ones are and Captain Brownlee, the ends of this year's aggregation.
One trouble with the team's playing this season was the inexperience of the players but all this will be different next season as all of the men will have the advantage of this year's grind and with the addition of this experience their playing should be improved at least fifty per cent.
The kicking department will not only be trained per cent stronger but in addition it will be more contestants for the honors. In the punting department the rivalry will be between Dalton, a consistent punter of the freshmen squad, and Wilson of the Varsity. For field goal work Kanaus will have two good place kickers and a drop kicker, who may prove a find. The place kickers are Weidline and Dalton. Weidline's ability is known and Dalton has been consistently kicking the ball over the bar all season for the Bond recruits. The drop kicker that dopers are pulling for it is Sproull a sophomore, who intends to come out next year. In practice this toe expert is able to consistently boot the ball over the bars by the drop kick route from the forty yard line.
Fight in Line for Pieces.
In the freshmen line are a number of stars who are weighty and fast and will make the Varsity men work to hold their places next year. At end, Reber, Braden and Cappa are doped to give a struggle for these berths on the Varsity. At center Hammond has shown well and for tackles Coach Bond is pulling for Burton and James, both of whom are fast heavy men.
Good Back Field Material.
Good Back Field Material.
The back field fight will also be a big struggle for positions. All the Vaishnavis in this region there will be the Bond recruits Dalton, Bottomly, Bishop, and Russell.
So it all points to another tail twisting next year about the same time as the last one and the Tiger to again postpone his revenge.
WISCONSIN. — The gymnastic team is up in arms over the athletic board's action to the effect that minor sport "Ws" will be limited to individual honors at the Western conference gymnasium meet.

Miss Hutchinson wore a dress and hat artistically composed of seventy-five pennants of different sizes, but all felt.

Evening
The annual football banquet will be held next Tuesday night. Next year's captain will be chosen at the banquet and an announcement made of the "K" winners for the past season.
And yet no candidates are in the field for captaincy but at least two entries are expected. tl is rumored that Bill Weidle may be one of them and "Buster" Coolidge the other. Both of these men have played for two years and in addition both starred in the Missouri and Nebraska games. Both are popular with the team and students. However, some other man may receive the position as several others are available.

The new football rules have diminished the danger of the game. For the season of 1912 not a single death was recorded from any of the colleges. The high schools registered three deaths and outside players seven.

It would save the time of administrative heads and members of the faculty who are compelled by their duty to the interests intrusted to them by the state to go to Topeka and exert their efforts to have these interests understood by the legislature, in order to prevent the doing of some serious injury to some branch of the educational or state service work through oversight or lack of knowledge.
The Mill Tax as a Basis for a Permanent Income for All of the State Educational Institutions
A good thing for the University. A good thing for the other institutions. A good thing for the state and the taxpayers. A relief to the legislature.
It would make it possible to take better care of the details of the University administration. Under the present system the University budget for the expenditures in June, 1915, must be compiled in September 1912—almost three years ahead. With a permanent income each year would be provided for as occasion required and the administration would know definitely what to count on.
It would relieve administrative heads from the humiliation of being criticised for attending committee sessions at the legislature and doing the necessary legislative work to which their devitions and duty to their institutions obligates them.
Mill Tax Would Benefit University. It would ensure a more healthy growth of the University, because normal growth in an educational institution is possible only when plans providing for such growth can be made, extending over a number of years.
It would put Kansas among the states which have already given their educational institutions the advantage of permanent incomes by fixed tax: Iowa, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Colorado, California, Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska, and others.
It would make it less easy for other universities to take some of the best teachers from Kansas, as they have been doing, because of the greater permanence of these universities in the matter of income, and the greater certainty with which their teachers can depend on the continuance of their work.
It would remove all temptation from educational institutions to save their interests by resorting to political methods. No state institution would ever be drawn into politics.
It would deliver the University from an especially heavy handicap of having only $7200 in permanent income (Interest in its land fund)—a handicap from which the other two state educational institutions suffer, but in a much less degree.
It would insure the gradual and proportionate increase of the revenues for education as the value of the property in the state increases, providing automatically the larger means of meeting growing needs.
It would emphasize the insignificance of the cost of education to each individual taxpayer. If he pays taxes on a valuation of $10,000 the mill tax would cost him $10. Would any man question that the presence in the state of three educational institutions, doing an immense amount of state service work, add not one but many to the value of each thousand dollars worth of property that he possesses?
It Would be a Relief to Legislature It would relieve the legislator from the responsibility of the present large total of appropriations, removing from his shoulders the burden of the entire educational budget of the state. It would also relieve him from the well-meant but sometimes overzealous importunities of the advocates of the various institutions.
It would save the time of legislators who are now compelled to study the intricacies of appropriation bills while occupied with scores of other legislative matters. To understand thoroughly the details of the University appropriation bill alone would require all the time that the ordinary legislator can devote to the duties of the legislative session.
It Would Benefit The State.
By eliminating competition in the procuring of appropriations it would make toward a better co-operation among the various schools, and a consequent increase of efficiency and value to the state.
It would result in a more economic administration of the educational institutions because system based on a stable and calculable income always means economy.
It would be to the advantage of the taxpayers because it would insure their getting the greatest possible efficiency out of the state schools, the greatest possible value for students with fixed and permanent income can an educational institution do its best work.
How The Mill Tax May be Secured
The income of the University and other institutions can be made permanent only by constitutional amendment.
The matter must first be presented to the legislature in order that it may be by them submitted to a vote of the people at the following general election. It will then appear on the ballot as a proposed amendment to the state constitution.
The first step, then, is to prevail on the legislature to give the people a chance to vote on this measure of such importance because educa- interests of the state.
