HAILS FROM FOOTBALL CAP= TAIN DISTRICT.
Carl Rouse, left end for the last three years on the Jayhawker football team, was today noon chosen captain of the '07 team. The election was not one as hard fought as those of the last few years. Carl Rouse and Sidney Milton, both Juniors, were nominated by an informal ballot vote. The second ballot elected Rouse by a vote of 12

to 8 and was followed by a motion declaring him the unanimous choice of the team.
CAPTAIN ROUSE
Rouse comes from that district in Kansas so noted for the production of football captains, the "short grass" country at Beloit. Brummage, Hicks and Pooler followed in succession from Beloit and had not Donald broken the spell Beloit would have had the fourth. Rouse attended the State Agricultural school the fall of 1903 where he played foot ball. Coming to Kansas in 1904 he took up the position then held by "Bony" Fleishman at left end opposite Captain Hicks. Except for a stiff knee in a few games last year and this year Rouse has never given up his position.

NUMBER 25
A FARE AND A THIRD.
Holiday Rates Good From December 20 to January 7.
The railroads of Lawrence will give Christmas rate of one and a third for the round trip this year with the time limit extended to January 7. The rate is universal and does not apply only to the students as has been the case in the past. As a result of the change and the extension of time it will be unnecessary to get certificates this year. The rates will become effective on December 20 to 25 and tickets will be good for return until January 7. This will give students the opportunity of spending the entire vacation at home without paying more than the regular holiday rates.
The system of giving certificates was a great inconvenience to all concerned, but was a sure way of keeping many a home-sick student in school until after the last class on Friday. The fact that it was a nuisance to the railroads caused them to change the plan.
WASHBURN DEBATE ASSURED
---
Council Committee to Report Contract Tomorrow.
The committee of the Debating Council will report the draft of a two year contract for a Washburn-Kansas debate at a special meeting of the Council tomorrow afternoon. There is little doubt that both schools will ratify it as it embodies the ideas brought out in a conference with the Washburn committee.
Nothing definite has been done on the Iowa proposition, and the whole matter is in the air pending fuller information from there. Definite plans for the preliminary debates will be formulated at the meeting tomorrow.
The annual engineers' election was held yesterday at noon and the following officers were chosen for the year: William J. Wilder, president; Carl Pleasant, vice-president; W. R. Caldwell, secretary and treasurer. There was no opposition and the election was unanimous.
ENGINEERS' ELECTION.
Officers Chosen for Year Yesterday Noon.
ANNUAL BANQUET
ENGINEERS' FUNCTION IN Y. M.C.A.HALL LAST NIGHT.
Movement to Boost Engineering Building--Engineers Honor Captain Donald.
The seventh annual banquet of the School of Engineering was held in the city Y. M. C. A. building last night and a six course dinner was served by the Y. M. C.A.to the two hundred and fifty engineers who were present. The entire evening was marked by a jollity and enthusiasm characteristic of engineers.
Toasts were given as follows under the direction of Professor F. F. Walker as toastmaster:
"What We Are Here for," Professor Haworth.
"A Few Ideals," W. I. Hull.
"Signalling in New York Subway,"
A. J. Lawndes.
"New School of Engineering," Chancellor Strong.
"Why I Am an Engineer," Ernest Skofstad.
"Pleasures of Railway Engineering," Professor B. J. Dalton.
"Our Commencement," Rex Thorpe.
"After Graduation," O. W. Pennel.
"The Next Move," Dean Marvin.
"Freshman Experiences," J. Fred Brown.
"The Coming Year," W. J. Wilder.
Dean Marvin made an interesting comparison of the growth of the School of Engineering. The enrollment has increased 156 per cent in the last six years. The only other department in the University that has shown an equal growth is the College, all the other departments having done little more than hold even. Dean Marvin suggested as the "Next Move" that the engineers plan an organized campaign for the new engineering building. The suggestion was adopted at once and the following men were named to confer with Dean Marvin this afternoon: W. P. Hackney, C. P. Donald, F. H. Blackmar, Carl Dassler, and Claude Steele. As soon as the committee reports a mass meeting of the School will be called.
The demonstration of the evening was when Sam Forter in a neat speech presented a handsome gold watch to Captain Donald as a mark of the esteem of the Engineering School.

MASQUERS GO TO MISSOURI.
Will Present "David Garrick" at Columbia Next Monday.
The "Masque" club has accepted the invitation of the Missouri University Dramatic Club and will present "David Garrick" in the Auditorium at Columia next Monday night. This is the first of an exchange of plays which it is hoped will be made in the future. The Missouri people are rehearsing "Brown of Harvard" and we may expect to see them here early in the spring. The play is being extensively advertised in Columbia and the student body are taking a great interest in the approaching visit of "David Garrick." All the fraternities and sororities which have members in the cast of "David Garrick" are making preparations to entertain the Kansas people in befitting style. The dress rehearsals of "David Garrick" and "My Wife's Bonnet" is being held tonight and, with an almost unprecedented advance sale of tickets, it seems that the complete success of the undertaking is assured. The curtain will be raised at twenty minutes after eight both evenings.
A NEW MANAGING EDITOR.
Carl Young Elected to Succeed Roy Moore.
At the regular meeting of the Kansan board Monday morning the resignation of Roy Moore, managing editor of the Kansan since last March, was accepted and Carl Young was unanimously chosen to succeed him. The reason for Mr. Moore's resignation was his recent illness and the burden of his work as business manager of the Jayhawker.
The new managing editor has been on the staff of the Kansan for more than a year, and has fairly earned the position he now holds. He has done excellent work in athletic reporting this year, and won his promotion by it. He will probably succeed to the office of editor in chief when the annual change is made next March.
