NO COLLEGE CREDIT TO UNIVERSITY BAND
Committee Decides That None Other Than Gym Credit is To Be Given
Stanford Gives Credit
One University Out of Thirty
Four Gives Credit
Asked For
No credit other than the customary gym credits will be given by the College for band work, according to the report of the faculty committee which considered the question. The report states that "band work does not replace any college work, and therefore cannot justifiably receive credit."
When the band men petitioned for credit, they stated that practically every other university gives credit for similar band work.
The faculty committee sent queries to thirty-four universities and colleges of the class of the University of Kansas, regarding this credit. Leland Stanford University of California is the only one which gives credit other than gymnasium or military credit.
"Leland Stanford presents an unusual case" according to Dean Templin of the College. "The college is not divided into schools as we are and therefore they can give credit more readily than can we."
The reason that credit is given for debate work, according to Prof. U. G. Mitchell, a member of the committee, is that debating duplicates the work of the department of public health, and hence deserves the credit.

I guess, they were all dressed up for an ordinary box and set them up on some posts, it makes a nice look on instrument, and it is a new stunt. Well bill don't you with you would settle this trouble, the hat, I tried to clean all over the mist new rug.

Three-Man Commission Handles Coal Situation
The commission will be composed of a practical miner, an operator, and a representative of the public, and its duty will be to sit almost continuously and to make changes in miners' wages and working hours as conditions in the coal fields warrant. It is believed here the coal commission probably will recommend a greater increase than 14 per cent.
As was announced in The Daily Kansas Monday, December 15, there will be no issue, published tomorrow, Friday, December 19. Each year it is deemed unnecessary to print a paper on the day students leave for their Christmas vacation, as most of them are gone before night.

Story From Aggieville is Contricted by Figures Procured by Miners
KANSAS LEADS ALL IN COAL PRODUCTION
K. U. Men Produced 76 Cars
Aggies, Washburn and Bake Trailed the Jayhawkers in Production
Pat Petrolia, 120, and Nat Armel, c21, two of K. U's returned volunteer coal miners, the Lawrence Rotary Club today, of the doings of the Yahawk in the Pittsburgh coal fields. Petrolia and Armel spoke at a lunchroom of the club at the Chamber of Commerce. While he was talking Petrolia was handed a copy of the Agricultural College's publication, the Internship list, in which Armel's colleague said
"The Industrialist article is not correct," said Mr. Pedroja. "The volcanic tersents put out a total of 161 cars of coal in Mexico, and the mining seventy-six, which was divided between the first K U. detachment and the second K U. detachment, the first detachment mining fifty cars and the second detachment putting out twenty-six cars of coal.
"Washburn got out fifteen or sixteen cars and Baker got out six. do not know how much the Kansas City, the Wichita, the Wilson County and several other outfits got out, but there were other cars that But, for argument say they got out nothing and the ninety-seven cars mined by K. U., Washburn and Baker was all that was mined outside the Aggie outfit. At that figure the Aggies could have mined only sixty-four cars and two twelve cars less than U's outfit."
"I do not understand how the Agile publication could make such assertions. It gives no figures, only makes the sweeping statement that the Aggies mined more coal than did the Jawahars. This mistake in its next issue if it wishes to be fair, as no doubt it does."
