VOLUME III.
GOOD PROSPECTS
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 12, 1907.
STRONG SENTIMENT FOR NEW BUILDINGS.
Much Good Work Done During Holidays by Friends and Students of University.
With the convening of the legislature the prospects for an engineering building look bright. During the holidays the students in conjunction with the Chancellor and Dean Marvin did great work for the cause of more room, and the sentiment among the people and lawmakers seems to warrant the belief that the appropriation will be made. Dean Marvin said today:
"Yes, the prospects are good for the new building. I have been shown a large number of letters from members of the legislature and a large majority of them are decidedly favorable. The most difficult thing we have now to meet is the belief expressed by many of the legislators that we want too much money for buildings, but it must be remembered that a large part of this goes to increase the capacity of the heating and lighting plants. Unless we increase their size or build new plants the engineering building would be valueless for the heating and lighting plants are already taxed to their full capacity, and we need their size increased even to heat and light the new gymnasium building."
Governor Hoch has followed the example of the state auditor and in his message sent Tuesday to the legislature he recommends that the full amount asked for by the University be granted. He also asks the legislature to place all the state educational institutions under the charge of one Board of Regents. There will be no relaxation in the efforts to secure the building, and by the number of students that are showing an interest in it, as indicated by the number visiting Dean Marvin's office, it is certain that if enthusiasm counts, K. U. will get the needed building.
Are you going to flunk in that quiz next week? You are going to flunk in your social quizzes unless you come get in line and do business with the K. U. Pantatorium.
Flunks.
The Freshmen for the second time were the hosts of a party at the Fraternal Aid hall last night. On account of several other attractions in town last night the attendance was rather light, and it is feared that the class treasury will suffer a loss on the party. It is to be hoped that the Freshmen are given heartier support in their undertakings in the future.
Freshmen Had Poor Support.
FRATERNITY PARTIES.

SUMNER CLAIMS LAURELS.
The Sumner county K. U. football team after winning the Christmas game from their vaunted high school opponents at Wellington, Kansas, by the score of 6 to 0, boldly assert their title to the Missouri Valley championship, and modestly suggest that no team in the United States has a better claim on the world's championship.
A Remarkable Chain of Dope Makes This Claim Interesting.
The claim of reasoning leading to this exalted claim by the closest inspection is without a single flaw. This is the claim: The Sumner county K.U. team defeated the high school which earlier defeated Fairmount. Fairmount by a score of 5 to 0 defeated Washburn, which school a week previously had defeated the Manhattan boys 5 to 4. Manhattan humiliated Kansas 6 to 4, and Kansas whipped the Cornhuskers 8 to 6. Thus far the Missouri Valley championship is established.
Going farther, Nebraska played Minnesota a very close game and Minnesota defeated Chicago. Chicago is superior to Michigan as shown in last year's game. Michigan defeated Vanderbilt 8 to 4, which in turn defeated Carlisle. Carlisle defeated Pennsylvania 24 to 0 and was defeated by Harvard by a 5 to 4 score. Yale defeated Harvard.
There are but three flaws to the claim of a world's championship team by the K. U. Club, the Nebraska defeat by Minnesota, Carlisle by Harvard and Harvard by Yale. Each of these scores was close, 13 to 0, 5 to 4 and 6 to 0. While victories gained the scores would exceed these three defeats and no doubt the championship should remain at K. U., both the Missouri Valley and the world's championship.
The eleven that playad in this game were: Hackney and Schwinn, ends; Crowell and Morrow, tackles; Nevitt and Siceloff, guards; Spear, center; Captain Angney, quarter; Hunter and Primly, halves; and Young, full-back. Substitutes: Loofbourrow, Trekell, Trent and Worden.
A Good Thing.
