VOLUME III.
FULL OF PLUCK
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SEPTEMBER 29, 1906.
BRUNNER'S PUPILS SCORE IN THREE MINUTES.
Brunner's pupils proved their metal against the Varsity in an interesting game this afternoon. Their team work was good, and their punting was more consistent than that of the first team. In only three minutes of play the tyros had scored, Mallam making a successful try at field goal from the thirty-five yard line.
Kicking of the Freshmen Was Superior to Varsity. Score Was 15 to 4.
In the second half Cohn succeeded in drop kicking a field goal and the score stood 15 to 4 when time was called. Porter of the freshmen ran down many quarterback kicks.

Manager Lansdon has a set of men at work north of the new "gym" preparing a 100 yard cinder track, a pit for broad and high jumping and pole vaulting. A large number of men will begin fall practice in a few days for the track work.
Track Men Begin Training.
The cross country run is being made regularly now by about ten men. Cooley, the Kansas City long distance runner is easily the first to complete the circuit.
Cross Country Notice.
For the benefit of the new men the cross county course will be made two miles instead of four until the men get used to the work.

SENIORS ELECT OFFICERS
A Spirited Fight—Part of Both Tickets Elected.
The senior class met Friday noon and elected the following officers: Rey O. Douglas, president; Ray Tripp, vice-president; Roy Martin, treasurer; Ruby Jackson, secretary; Chester Ramsey, editor of the Annual; Roy Moore, business manager of the Annual; Ivy Brock, chairman of the Play, and Harry Gowans, manager of the Play.
The fight was a spirited one between the two factions and so close was the contest that the ultimate outcome was not known until the final vote had been counted. The remarkable fact was the number of scratched ballots and in this respect, Douglas bested Klingberg and received a majority of five votes. Miss Brock received two more votes than Miss Sellers while all the majorities were correspondingly small.
Kansan Tryouts.
Students of the University desiring to try for the editorial board of the Kansan should begin systematic work and keep a copy of all their work. There are four vacancies to be filled soon.
Students desiring to try for assistant business manager should see Frank H. Blackmar at once. The assistant will probably become business manager in March.

MADE NO CHANGE.
Plan to Reorganize Debates Defeated Temporarily.
A meeting attended by about twenty-five law students and five college students was held in chapel at 4:30 Friday afternoon and despite the effort of a number of those present a motion was passed sanctioning the present system of managing the debating of the University and continuing the old debating council in power.
The meeting was called by Mr. Grant president of the debating council for the purpose of organizing a student's association composed of all students who have paid the two dollar voluntary fee. It was the purpose of the meeting to carry out the wishes of the Chancellor, but all action was nullified by the passing of the motion by the Laws to allow things to remain as they were. The sense of the meeting was that nothing be done.
It was stated at the meeting that the present debating council is in a very bad condition. They have no by-laws; the treasurer has not returned to school and there is a large sum of money waiting in the hands of the treasurer of the University to be turned over as soon as the Council is placed on a solid basis. Despite these facts the motion carried almost unanimously to do nothing.
A movement is on foot among the students to perfect an organization and during the coming week a meeting will be held at which definite plans will be decided upon in compliance with the students' and the Chancellor's wishes.
A COMPARISON.
Enrollment Is Now Greater Than Last Year.
The enrollment today has reached 1422 this fall at Lawrence, 47 at the Kansas City K. U.Medical and 265 at the summer school making a total of 1734. Last year the enrollment for the entire year was about 1720.
Sophomores Elect Officers.
The sophomore class held a meeting at noon Thursday and selected officers for the ensuing year as follows: President, Ernest Skofstad; vice-president, Harold Armsby; secretary, Miss Zella Mitchell; treasurer, Carl Pleasant. The ticket that was elected was known as the "Straight Barb Ticket." The majority was about 60. The opposing ticket was known as the "Straight Barb Anti-machine Ticket."

SHALL THEY VOTE
SHOULD STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN CITY AFFAIRS?
Hon. Frank March Says They Should. The University is a Part of the Town.
Hon. Frank March of this city addressed the students of the students of the University at Friday's chapel exercises. Mr. March emphasized the fact that the student's work in the University bears a close relation to the elements of success in the business world. He invited the students to become a part of the citizenship of Lawrence and to take an interest in the municipal government. His speech in part was as follows:
"It is possible for you as students to here acquire a group of vigorous habits that will be of great assistance to you in after life. Accuracy, punctuality, energy, reliability are each fundamental for the student and the business man. A good wholesome fund of common sense will help you solve problems for which the higher fields of learning have not yet been able to offer solution. Common sense cannot be taught. It must be acquired by practical experience.
"In closing, I wish to emphasize the fact that you, as students, are a part of this community. Many of you expect to spend four years here in getting your education. In that period, if you are wide awake observers, you will unconsciously become much interested in the growth of the town and the management of its municipal affairs.
"I can see no reason why you should not have a voice in deciding matters that are of moment to the city and why you should not exercise all the right prerogatives that belong to the citizen.
"The people of Lawrence are glad that the University of Kansas is located here; they congratulate themselves that Chancellor Strong is your Chancellor; they rejoice that the attendance is so large; they are glad to receive you, the representatives of so many different communities, into Lawrence as an integral part of the community; we do not look upon you as a city set upon a hill, apart, with different interests, but are glad to regard your interests as our interests; and, as a last word, I beg you ever to remember whether as a business or professional man you honor yourself that you are honoring your alma mater, and that as you honor your alma mater, you indirectly reflect credit upon the old city of Lawrence, which has the honor of being the seat of the State University of Kansas."
