Croissant this morning. "The request of the Mozart Musical club that at least one ragtime selection be played by the band has been reported to me, and I shall make every effort to have theirrequest acceded to."
The Mozart Musical club at its regular weekly meeting last Thursday night passed resolutions demanding that the Marine band on its visit here should play at least one ragtime selection, and threatened to boycott the concert in case its request was denied. Professor Croissant, who has charge of the arrangements for the concert, is trying to get in touch with the band and will endeavor to get the assurance from the manager that the ragtime will be played .

GOOD GOVERNMENT IS HARD TO BUILD
Ex-Mayor Beardshield of Kansas City Tells of Trials of Public Life to Y. M.C.A.
"Building a good government is like rolling a stone up a hill," declared H. M. Beardside, ex-mayer of Kansas City, Mo., in his address to the University Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoon in Myers hall. "If you let go on the side of the hill, gravity pulls the stone down. In public life the influence of evil is always pulling down.
"No man in public life has ever tried to improve conditions without feeling the power of evil constantly building up there is there to let old things go ahead.
"The great problem to be solved by public officials and all desiring to improve conditions is to find out how to change present conditions in such a way as to help all, not to help some." The important vigilance is absolutely necessary.
"There was a time that men considered that the government which governed least was best but this belief is no longer adhered to. The conscience of the nation has said that it is the duty of the state to look after the welfare of the poor. Laws are made to prevent child labor, to provide physical safety, to bring wholesome living and to protect public health.
Chancellor Strong and Regents to Attend opening at Pratt, Kans.
"In all the matters just mentioned the Christian and social standpoints are identical. A good Christian must feel that the obligation to see to it that the conditions of social and economic life are what they should be and to see that remedies are wrought into government to correct present evils. Moreover company with present movements must believe in the teachings of Christ. The same code of honor must exist in the government of the state, business affairs, and church relationships."
The formal opening of the new fish hatcheries at Pratt will be made tomorrow.
TO OPEN FISH HATCHERY
Chancellor Strong, Prof. Merie Thorpe, members of the Board of Regents, and distinguished citizens of the state will be present. Kansas has here been a hatcheries in the world where being in all about eighty-five aquatic ponds.

The work at Pratt is in charge of Prof. Lewis L. Dyche.
EVERY TIME I COME TO TOWN-
THE JAYHAWK JUST KICKS AROUN'
HEY SHOVED IOWA'S ENGINEERING SCHOOL
Single Board of State Regent Shifted It to Ames, Crossing the Hawkeyes
(Special to the Daily Kansan)
Iowa City, Oct. 29.—To have their college jerked out from under their feet and shifted a hundred miles to Ames is what is happening to the engineers at the University of Iowa these days. And frankly, the Iowa students don't like the experience a bit.
Iowa five years ago adopted a system of one board of regents for all state institutions and this single board after proving unsatisfactory from all sides in each year thus far has decided that the engineering college should be moved to the agricultural college. Seaworth is state sentiment against this board, he added of the board that a campaign is being buried at the obsoxious one-board system in an effort to do away with it entirely at the November election.
"The change is wrong in its method because nothing so sweeping should be done without first getting the opinion of the people of the State, declares Prof. I. P. G. Holden of Ames in the Daily Iowan. "By this I mean, not merely the politicians or even the members of the policemen, but the people. To my mind the radical changes proposed involve a step backward, instead of forward."
The Daily Iowa aided by every student in the University is conducting the fight against the action of the board, which seems doomed to destruction next week.
Hon. Henry M. Beardsley, ex-major of Kansas City, Mo, who addressed the Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoon, was the guest of Pi Upsilion at dinner Sunday.
Mu Phi Epsilon, honorary musical sorority of the University, held its hallowe'en party Friday evening, October 25, at the home of Miss Helen Woolsey in Breezeedale. The house was dimly lightened with jack-o-lanterns and soft colored lights, and autumn leaves and bitter-sweet berries over the creeper. of the hall-stairs, the creeper. In the shape of pumpkins, with dainty cakes constituted the refreshments. The invitations were limited to the members and 24 guests enjoyed a delightful evening at whist.

BIOLOGICAL SURVEY WILL HELP FARMERS
Reports to Show What Plants and Animals are Best for Kansas
"We want to know exactly what plants and animals can be most profitably propagated in the state of Kansas, and that is the reason we are now checking up and tabulating the reports turned in by the four expeditions of the State Department in the field," said Assistant Professor Wm. J. Baumgartner of the department of biology this morning, in outlining the biological survey now being made of the state. "We can't know which can be best grown until we have complete information about the ones now living here.'"
THERE GOES MY HAT
The survey is being made under the direction of the department of biology in the University and was begun about two years ago. The money was provided by a special appropriation of the legislature.
Last summer there were four expeditions in the field; two botanical parties under Messrs. Grelius and Wilson of Emporia; the zoological party under Prof. R. D. Dinsay of the zoology department; the bird and mammal party under Prof. C. D. Bunker, curator of mammals in the University.
The reports of the expeditions of last summer are now being checked up and tabulated by Professor Baumgartner.
The State Work department of the Civil Engineering School has just finished unloading a carload of concrete samples from the Kansas City Terminal Co. There are five hundred samples in the lot to be tested. These tests are made for the purpose of determining which method of construction is the most servicable. The report from this department will be used in the construction of concrete for the new Union Depot at Kansas City.
Kansas zephyrhs have been touted by the poet and the singer 'till we've come to the conclusion that the zephyr is a dinger, but I fail to get excited when I read their sorry lays and I call them by their first name, ie, namely—beady days. Of all the freaks of Kansas climate, from the cyclone to the flood, nothees me like a windfest; makes me want to shed some blood. Some may think that it's poetic when the leaves go flying 'round, but for me I much prefer them when they lie still on the ground. Lips are chapping, clothes are flapping and my hat has down a mile, and I'll thank the One Who Makes Them, if he'll stop them for a while.
"The old grads" will flock back in large droves to the homecoming and Alumini meeting at the M. U. -K. U. game. Among the speakers at the exercises which will be held during the day will be William Pitt, of Kansas City, Mo. and W.Y. Morgan of Hutchinson, Dr. John Outland.

EXTENSION DEPARTMENT
GUES OUT COLLECTION
Will Send Famous Paintings of American Artists to Kansas Towns for Exhibits.
A $75,000 art collection is the latest attraction to be used in the interest of the University Extension Department. Some time ago it was announced that this department would employ motion pictures in its work; now, an option has been secured on a collection of the work of American artists and this collection will be used as a resource for illustrators down of the state for the next six months, provided the co-operation of the cities can be obtained.
"We are now sending out letters to the heads of women's clubs and the superintendents of schools in the towns to be visited by the collection to secure that co-operation," said Prof. Richard R. Price, director of the department of University Extension, who will be aided to pay only a small fee to pay the expense of packing and shipping the collection to the next point."
The art collection is now in the state of Indiana and will probably be shipped to this state about January first.
PROF. DUNCAN TO INSPECT
STATE FISH HATCHERY
Prof. B. J. Duncan left this morning for Pratt, Kans., representing the Regents, to inspect the new fish hatcheries to see if they were built according to contract.
WEEK NIGHT DATE
RULE SUSPENDED
For Thursday Night Only, in Honor of Big Mask
Next Thursday's is Hallowe'en. Remember the fun you used to use on that night? Well the Men and Women's Student Councils are planning to give every student in the University a chance to recall those childhood days in fondest fashion.
Ball
A big masquerade ball will be given next Thursday night in Robinson gymnasium for students.
The week night date rule will be off next Thursday night so that Chinamen, Cowbies, Ballet Girls and Clowns may dance at the first annual masquerade Council and the Womens Student Government Association at Robinson Gym.
"The ball will rival that of the Priests of Pallas given at Kansas City" said President Coats this morning. "No one will be admitted except with costume and mask. The ma's will be used for the first two dances."
No one need stay away because he does not dance. There will be fun for all. The "feed" will consist of apples, doughnuts and cider. A five piece orchestra, furnished by Haley will sell every five cents will be sold for seventy five cents.
The places for the ticket sale have not been arranged yet. All costumes will be handled by Peckham's Clothing Company. Orders must be in by Tuesday night. The funds will go to the two councils.
"We are planning to make this Halloween'en ball an annual affair," said Charles Coats, president of the Men's Council, "and we will if a big crowd turns out. Then all you have to do and everything will be done to make the party one of genuine good-fellowship between the men and women alike."
GET INTO POLITICS
SAYS HENDERSON MARTIN
Hon. Henderson Martin, of Mifflin,
Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee, made an address
to the law students in Green Hall
during Chapel time this morning.
Chapel talk much of the young
man who is not interested in politics"
he declared. "Politics is a game,
and a very interesting one; the only
game that a man can play from youth
to old age.
But if you want to get all the delight out of the politics, and avoid all the grief, don't run for office. Just help your friend to get it. Politics will make a man of you. Play it, and be an intelligent player.

KANSAS CAME BACK
IN AGGIE CONTEST
Showed Strength by Defeating K.S.A.C. Team 10 to 6
19 to 6
MINNESOTA SHIFTS USED
Famous Out-Flanking System Gav
Advantage—Martin Ran 65
Yards for Touchdown.
Couch Mosse expressed himself as fairly well satisfied with the game Saturday.
"I think considering the style of play used we should have scored at least twenty-five points against the Aggies," said Mosee. "The scoring was held down to some extent due to the fact that the men were not experienced in the shift plays used and consequently showed some hesitancy in their charges. With the men working right they should have had no trouble in giving the Aggies a good beating taking into consideration the methods of play used by the Manhattan team."
Coach Lowman: "The Aggie team did not play with as much 'pep' as I expected they would. But then I have nothing to say about the game you saw it."
When seen after the game Coach Bennie Owens, who is teaching the Sooners the art of the game again this year, would not make any direct statements regarding what he expected his team to do against the Jayhawkers next Saturday.
"The Sooners will be ready for the game," smiled Owens. "The men have the Beat Kansas spirit all right."
"Playing the style of games that they used against the Aggies Kansas should beat the Sooners by at least one touchdown," this was the statement issued by Coach Brewer of Missouri U., after witnessing the Jayhawker victory in Saturday's game. "The Sooners will undoubtedly put up a big fight, but Kenneth they did against us as they will not be hampered by the over confidence which played such an important part in the Tiger victory.
"Oklahoma's greatest strength is on end runs. Missouri was able to hold them on account of the sterling defense put up by the ends. The Kansas ends played a fine defensive game and should be able to improve on their playing to some extent by the time of the Oklahoma game."
Kansas proved that she could come back and come with lost of steam Saturday by defeating the Aggies 19 to 6. The game was fought fiercely and it was not until Dutch Martin pulled his thriller, going 65 yards down the field for the final touchdown, that the interest in the stand abated and it was certain that the Jayhawkers would win.
The real test of the Kansas team came in the latter part of the fourth period when the Aggies approached within a yard and a half of the K. U. goal. The Crismon line charged low and hard, upsetting the plunging Farmers backs holding them for three lows, saving a touchdown and possible defeat.
Burnham's play, which gave the Aggies this advantage in the last quarter has been discussed pro and con probably by every student in the University by this time. The pass for the punt was bad and the big Kansas guard had to hurry so that the ball was kicked only 10 yards. On the next two plays the ball was rushed almoًثt to the Kansas goal line. Here the ball was sent out of danger. Some of the football followers claim that Burnham's play on the kick should have been to drop the ball and Manhattan a safety. This would have been but two points while if the touchdown has been made the game probably would have gone to the Aggies. However Burnham did the game and sportmanlike things. He kicked the ball the best he was able.
Martin and Holiday Show Well. Saturday's game also proved the caliber of two halfbacks, who have
