THE KANSAN.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME II.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 24, 1906.
WON TWO GAMES
BASE BALL TEAM IS IN GOOD FORM NOW.
A Defeat at Oklahoma Yesterday ---Second Game There Today.
The University base ball team, since starting on their southern trip, have played three games and have been showing the southerners a fast article of ball, considering the fact that they have been playing practically without practice. Two games have been won and one lost. The new pitchers have been making a good showing and give promise of giving Kansas University the strongest battery in years.
At Friends' University,where the first game was played, Jones was put in the box as Kansas' twirler, and succeeded in holding the Quakers to three hits. The game was played in a field of mud, but notwithstanding, only one error was chalked up against the Jayhawkers. The final score was 3 to 1.
The Chillocco Indians played Thursday at Chillocco, Okla., were defeated in a good game by the score of 6 to 1. Meade was in the box for Kansas and allowed only one hit, while the University boys found the Chillocco pitcher for six hits. At Norman, Okla., where the boys played yesterday, they were defeated by Oklahoma University by the score of 5 to 1. Reports from this game or meagre, and beyond the news of the fact that Hoffman pitched and Oklahoma University won, nothing is known. The concluding game with Oklahoma was played this afternoon. The team goes to Austin, Texas, for the next game, Monday, with Texas University.
NUMBER 50
ELIGIBILTY RULES.
A Summary of the Scholarship Requirements.
Owing to the general lack of information as to the rules for eligibility of athletes, the Kansan publishes the following rules of the Council and the Athletic Board on the subject. The following two rules in regard to scholarship were adopted by the University Council, June 8, 1905.
"That the rule requiring the making up of all failures before graduation be abolished."
"That no student may be given a degree in any school of the University, nor transferred from one school to another, who has outstanding failure in more than one-third of his work in any one term or more than a total of fifteen hours."
The action taken by the Athletic Board Tuesday noon was as follows:
Resolved, that the Athletic
board interpret the action of the Council in regard to eligibility as follows:
1. A failure which the student is required to make good will bar the students eligibility until his record in the Registrar's office shows that it has been made good.
2. When the Dean and Head of the Department concerned relieve a student from the necessity of making a credit in the specific course in which he has failed or when a student has been transferred from one school to another in spite of a failure, we will consider the failure in either such case as barring his eligibility for the current term and the next term in which he is registered. This bar will be removed when he has successfully completed the full minimum work for his class and school in any term after the one in which he failed.
3. We will in no case consider a failure as affecting eligibility if the course in which the student fails is in excess of the minimum requirement for the class and the school in which he enrolled.
Representatives of Students in Chapel May 11.
A UNIVERSITY DAY.
The plan formulated by the class presidents and members of the chapel committee is to have a University Day in chapel once a year. This year the date will be Friday, May 11. Student organizations will furnish music and three representatives of the students will speak in chapel.
Names of candidates for this honor must be in not later than chapel time next Monday, and only those names will be considered who have ten names or more signed to their nomination. On Tuesday at chapel, votes will be taken by ballot on the persons so nominated, and the three highest men in the list will have places on the program May 11.
A University Vesper Service of unusual interest will be given in the University Chapel next Sunday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock. Do not fail to be there before the whistle blows, as the service has been seriously marred so far by the people coming late. Both from a musical point of view and from the point of view of the address the service promises to be one of the best of the year.
The Vesper Service.
The musical program is as follows: Organ Prelude, Offertory, Rheinberger; Lord's Prayer, Merbecke, Arr. by Stainer; Venite, Woodward; In Excelsis, Tenner; Anthem, Hark, Hark My Soul, Shelley; Hymn 85, Thomas. A. Arne; Anthem from Holy City, Gaul, Chorus of ladies voices with soprano and
bass obligato; Organ and Violin, Ave Maria, Bach—Gounod. Miss Bessie Wheaton, soprano, and Mr.L. A. Hubach, bass, both of Kansas City and well known here and much appreciated on previous occasions will assist the University chorus.
The address will be given by Doctor Moffat, President of Washington and Jefferson college and Moderator of the Presbyterian General Assembly and is sure to be of deep spiritual interest.
SCHOOL ATHLETES BUSY.
Teams Organize for Inter-School Meet, April 14.
All the athletes of the University, and some who have never thought of being athletes until the last few days, are turning their attention to the interschool tournament to be held on McCook field, Saturday, April 14. At present the odds seem to be in favor of the Laws and Engineers, with the College an unknown quantity. The Engineers count on taking all the long runs while the sprints will go to the Laws. The College has a number of good athletes but so far this season they have not been doing any training, while the men of the other schools have been doing work ever since the track season opened. Though the time is short the college expects to get men in good shape for the long runs and some of the sprints, so that neither of the other schools will have a walk-away when the meet is called.
The game of baseball between Emporia College and the University will be played the same afternoon as a counter attraction.
The Laws yesterday elected Captain Driscoll, of the track team, as captain of the Law team. Broadie and Justice will have charge of the weight events, McNaughton will have charge of the sprints, and Blood will manage the long distance runners.
For the College "Cap." Young was elected captain, Finch will train the sprinters, Hovey the distance men, and Putnam the weight men.
The Engineers have not yet elected their captain but Butler will doubtless be chosen to lead them.
Quill Club Elects.
The Quill club elected the following new members at their regular meeting last Tuesday: Mr. Notstein, a faculty member, Joeph Murray, and Misses Georgia Baird, Dora Monahan, Elsie Hoskins. Mina Everett, Ruby Jackson, and Mabel Davis. The next meeting of the club Tuesday will be open to the public. Miss Lynn of the English department will speak to the club on quantity in verse.
CONTRACT LET
NADELHOFFER OF LAWRENCE TO BUILD GYM.
Will be Ready for Commencement Next Year---Ornaments Left Out.
The contract for the building of the gymnasium and auditorium building was awarded by the Board of Regents yesterday to William Nadelhoffer of Lawrence at $71,000. Mr. Nadelhoffer is the contractor that built the Law building. The contract calls for the building to be ready for occupancy by Commencement week of 1907 but allows until July 1 for the final completion of the work. Several changes had to be made in the plans as originally designed by Architect Stanton in order to complete the building within the appropriation of $100,000. Some of the details of the interior and some of the ornamentation will have to be left off, and the swimming pool may have to be placed under one of the wings of the building instead of in an annex as was originally intended. Aside from these changes, the building will be substantially the same as the original plans.
Mr. Stanton, the architect, was instructed to make drawings for the Rosedale hospital in order that the plans can be approved and bills called for at the May meeting of the board.
Dr. Moffat Speaks.
Dr. Moffat, president of Washington-Jefferson College and for this year Moderator of the Presbyterian Assembly lectured last night in University Hall. The audience was of fair size considering the weather. The theme of the discourse was that there is no antagonism between Christianity and science, that Christianity is a life, and that though there may be different theological beliefs, no one striving to lead a Christian life will have any difficulty in reconciling the two. He developed the subject by first discussing the Copernician theory and its effect on the thought of the world, then the discoveries of geologists, and, lastly, the Darwinian theory.
Dr. Moffat will deliver the address at the regular Vesper services tomorrow afternoon at four o'clock.
David F. McFarland, of the chemistry department lectures on "The Manufacture of Iron and Steel" tonight before the American Chemical Society in Central high school at Kansas City. The lecture will be illustrated by lantern slides.
