She is more interested in you and your college course than anyone else. Gifts to her now mean pleasant memories to you in the future.
Why not let us send her a copy of the University Daily Kansan telling her each day of the University you are attending.
The Daily Kansan can be one of the letters you write home—and you little realize how these letters are appreciated.
Five hundred students sent the Daily Kansan home last year—and each and every one has said "keep it up!" There's a reason.

COACHES PREPARE FOR CLASS GAMES
Struggle For Supremacy Promises to Be a Fierce One
CAN YOU PLAY FOOTBALL?
Expect Every Man Who Has Played to Come Out—Are Looking for Varsity Material.
The inter-class games will begin on the 14th of December, and all players who expect to come out for the team are urged to report as soon as possible. Practice will begin Tuesday afternoon under the direction of Courses Mossee and Frank.
As soon as enough men report for each squad, a Varsity man will be assigned to help coach the team which represents his class. Any man who has had any experience at all in play, should be requested to report, as the coaches realize that there is some good material in school that did not come out for the Varsity. The success of the Varsity this year is directly attributed to the inter-class games of last season.
The concludes for the teams are as follows, Price for the seniors, Brownlee for the juniors, Davis for the sophomores, and Weidline for the freshmen. No man who played in the Nebraska or Missouri games will be allowed to compete in the class games. None of the freshmen who made the regular squad will be eligible to compete in the games. The games this year should prove more interesting than ever before as a larger number of players were out for the Varsity and also because the players were more divided among the different classes than usual.
A soccer tournament will be staged the same day as the inter-class football tournament. None of the soccer tournaments are free. *Playing in the soccer inter-class games.*
The first game will be held one week from Tuesday and the final, the following Saturday. Two games every afternoon during the week.
First Call for Suits.
W. O. Hamilton.
All men who have football suits and are not going to play in the inter-class games, please check in at once at McCook field.

FORWARD PASSSES BADLY NEGLECTED
Gridiron Authorities Discount aged by Poor Showing of Their Favorite Play
The pace was very stiff from the start and the nine entries kept fairly well bunched until about a mile from the finish, when Capt. Patterson closed the gap between himself and the K. C. A. C. entries, who had been setting the pace and took the lead. He finished the race in good shape and had a half a block lead over the entire field.
The Jayhawker cross-country aggregation composed of five entries journeyed to Kansas City, Thursday morning and tied a knot in the K. C. A. C. cross-country team. The Kansasans had the race all to themselves, only one Kansas City entry finishing.
Capt. O. W. Patterson won the race while W. J. Malcomson and Ray Edwards finished second and third respectively. The run started at the K. C. A. C. athletic field and ended at the club house down town. The winner finished in 27 minutes, 9-25 seconds, this time being two-fifths of a second better than the time a year ago.

Eastern exponents of the forward pass style of game were greatly discouraged by the showing of this department the past season. Very few successful passes were made in the eastern games and Navy frances, and Navy frecasses, were attributed to straight style football and mass plays.
Many of the authorities expected that the forward pass would play a very important part in the offense of the majority of the winning teams, and for that reason strengthened the efficiency of the pass in every possible way. This was not the case and with only a few exceptions, the teams depended on straight football and mass plays, and only used an occasional pass, or opened up as a last resort.
In the west this, was usually the case, and in the majority of the games the losing team would open up a series of passes as a last sort to win. An example of this was when Missouri tried to penetrate the Kansas offense in the last few outs by open play.
Whether anything will be done to change this condition will be one of the things for the rules committee to decide. Many of the coaches attributed their neglect of the forward pass to the inefficiency and in experience of their players.
VARSITY PUGILISTS TO DON THE PADDED MITTS
Gong Rings Tomorrow Afternoon fo First Round of Fistic Instruction Under Coach Frank.
Now that the football season is over classes in boxing, under the direction of Coach Frank, will start at once, and the sounds of dull sickening thuds will resound from room 202 of Robinson gymnasium on Friday, 13:30 o'clock until the shades of night are pulled down upon the slaughter.
According to Coach Frank over seventy men are already signed up for the course in boxing, and black eyes and bloody noses will be in style from now on. The boxers will be divided into light, middle and heavy weight classes. Gym credit will be given to sophomores for the work. An attempt will be made to give similar credit to freshmen.
Classes in wrestling will also be started next week, on Monday and Wednesday in the wrestling room on the second floor of the gym. Last year K. U. wrestlers met the K. C. A. c mat artists, but failed to enter the valley wrestling conference owing to lack of material and training. Coach Frank will endeavor to turn out a team to compete with the conference teams when the wrestling bugs go' busy next January.
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.
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 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 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 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.
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 devotions and duty to their institutions obligates them.
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 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 put the maintenance of the University, the Agricultural College and the State Normal Schools on a permanent basis, removing them from the danger of having their revenues curtailed by caprice or financial depression, and enabling the governing boards to pursue a definite business-like policy.
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, adds not one but many to the value of each thousand dollars worth *£* property that he possesses?
TWO MORE CLUBS ARE ADDED TO THE DECK
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 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.
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 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.

Cowley and Butler Students Form Organizations and Will Have Announcements read in Chapel
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. If the people at the following general assembly appear on the ballot as a proposed amendment to the state constitution.
A Butler County club has been organized with the following officers: Roy Springer, president; Milton Minor, vice-president; Clio Overman, secretary and treasurer. The next meeting of the organization will be held December 12th.
The first step, then, is to prevail on the legislature to give the people a chance to vote on this measure of government because it has educational interests of the state.
The club, with a membership of thirty-five students, is planning for further meetings with a view toward rousing interest in the University in Cowley county.
At a meeting held Friday afternoon, the students from Cowley county organized a Cowley county club nud elected the following officers: President, Arthur L. Crookham; vice-president, John Probst; secretary, Mable F. Woods; treasurer, Harold A. Truesdell; publicity agent, Jesse Derby.
HERE'S WHY LAWRENCE
HACKS ARE SO CHILLY
Ever notice that cab in front of the Chem. lab. on Friday afternoons and envy the prof, who could afford to have a cab wait for him till his 2:30 class was dismissed to take him to his train?
Well, you had better hesitate and think it over. The occupant of that cab when it leaves for the station has a body temperature of just 338 degrees below freezing on the Fahrenhite scale.
And furthermore, any one who should heave a brick through the window at said occupant would probably be the next victim of W. J. Burns and his accomplices on a dynamite charge, for such an action would raise both the cab and driver several vards above their ordinary altitude.
The occupant of that cab is no other than a jar of liquid air, manufactured by the diplices of Professor Cady each week and shipped away. The product is obtained from the product, a cab is used to take it to the express office.
