Book Exchange Which Opens Saturday Allows Students to Sell Old Volumes
The University book exchange which will be situated in the east end of Professor Johnson's office on the main floor of Fraser Hall will be open next Saturday afternoon Text, referent and subject information supplies may be listes for sale. No charge will be made for unsold books or supplies.
"Students should bear in mind," said Manager Neal D. Ireland, "the fact that a successful exchange will pave the way for a cooperative student's body to move on." This is reason, this issue, if no other, the exchange should be patronized."
The exchange is not a money making proposition but has been started solely for the benefit of students. Testimony gathered as a result of the questionnaires sent to Nassau State universities show that a university book exchange does not seriously interfere with the business of local book stores.
The dramatic clubs of the two state universities of Nebraska and Kansas may exchange their plays, if a plan now being made by Prof. Arthur MacMurry works out. He can exchange, Nebraska would bring her production of "Believe Me, Xantippe" to Lawrence; and the Kansas club would play "The Witching Hour" in Lincoln. Alice Howell, director of dramas at Nebraska is corresponding with Proff. MacMurry in regard to the scheme.
EXCHANGE PLAYS MAYBE
Kansas and Nebraska Dramatic Directors Now Working on the Plan
"Believe Me, Xantippi" was written by a former Nebraska student, Frederick Ballard. Prof. L. E. Sisson, of the University department of English, saw the play presented at Lincoln, and he pronounced the Nebraska club's production an excellent one.
WANT ATHLETICS TO
TRAIN MILITARY MEN
College athletics make young men physically fit for military service, according to the opinion of the Society of Directors of Physical Education in Colleges, at a recent meeting at Columbia University.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 19, 1915.
NUMBER 79.
FIRST YEAR WOMEN SWING
DUMB BELLS FOR GRADES
The substitution of athletic games for calefitness and manual of arms drill develops better men for the army. The present war is showing that the all-round strength of the individual and development of all organs, gained by athletic games, allows the man to exercise that teaches merely disciplining.
The morning classes were quizzed on calenetics and wa1. drill, while the afternoon classes were examined on dumb-bells and the regular calenetic exercises. The sophomore unit is unitized with Miss Elliot and Miss Pratt in charge. Swedish work and Indian Club swinging will compose the quiz.
"The gymnasium classes are coming through with their quizzes in fine shape," said Miss Gladys Elliot, today. "Each girl is being given a number; I stand up in front of the class and give the commands and Dr. Alice Goetz walks around the class at the back, then counts the numbers which each girl wears on her back, she is able to judge accurately what each woman is doing."
Fine Students For Rushing
Freshmen and sophomores at McGill University, Montreal, have been fined seventy-five cents each for participating in the annual freshman-sophomore rush last October, which resulted in some damage to resale records. Students who do not pay the fine will be suspended from classes.
Council Stops Class Scrap
Council Stops Class Scrap Permanent injury of two students in the annual freshman-soponic more class scrap last fall and declining interest in the affair caused the Council of Administration at the University of Illinois to make a ruling to stop the traditional fight
Lou Wescott Beck, the explorer of the great American desert, gave a stereopicon lecture at Colorado College recently.
Prohibitionists to Meet
The local branch of the Intercollegiate Prohibition Association will meet in Dr. Thompson's office in Myers Hall Thursday evening at 6:45. A short debate is scheduled between the two sides. The meeting will start promptly and end in time to get to the basketball game and the debating societies.
GRADUATES ELECTED TO HIGH SCHOOL FACULTIES
The following graduates and graduate
students have recently received
receipts to teach:

Miss Elizabeth Parker has received notice of her appointment to a German and history position in the Atkellon high school. Miss Parker's work begins at the opening of the second semester
J. M. Johnson, who gets his degree in math, joins a position in the Iola high school.
IDA M. TARBELL COMING
Will be Here February 11—Good Program Planned for Merchants' Short Course
"Ida M. Tarbell will surely be here on February 11 to speak during the Merchant's Short Course. A telegram received Monday night assured us of that fact," said F. R. Hamilton, director of the Extension Division. Owing to some doubt he still needs to have some doubt about her being able to keep the appointment. The subject of her address has not yet been announced."
A. E. Butterworth, head window trimmer for the John Tray Dry Goods Company of Kansas City, who will give two talks, with demonstrations, on the subject "Draperies and Women's Ready-to-Wear," has been added to the program. The subject of window trimmers is a real war that owing to a special request from several of the merchants who attended last year, this number was added to the program, though it was not originally included.
Registration's have been received from four states other than Kansas: Colorado, Oklahoma and Okinawa and registrations and requests for rooms are still coming in.
"We must have more rooms," said Mr. Hamilton. "We will need not less than 150 and so far not more than twenty have been listed. If those persons who have rooms to rent will telephone into the Extension Dixion, we shall be gifted to list them, and assign them to the managers for session of the Short Course. We shall greatly appreciate hearing from anyone who has accommodations to rent."

If you are a student in a college, seize upon the good that is there. You get good by giving it. You gain by giving—so give sympathy and cheerful loyalty to the institution. Be proud of it. Stand by your teachers—they are doing the best they can. If the place is faulty, make it a better place by an example of cheerfully doing your work every day the best you can—Elbert Hubbard.

Lawrence Merchants Say Tha
Hill Inhabitants Pay Better
Than Most People
More than ninety-nine per cent of the students of the University are good debtors is the opinion of the merchants of Lawrence. A canvass of students on that on the whole the students here are prompt in the payment of their debts. "Our credit business among the students is very large," said one merchant. "They are the best pay on the accounts do not go over one per cent."
Another merchant who does a large credit business among K. U. students said, "We seldom lose an account, but we never lost it. I feel from a student leaving the University, but as soon as the student gets out and gets a job the account is paid. Only last week I received a bill from a student paying an account over two years old."
The next dealer said, "I am always glad to accommodate the student who needs me. I know that people have a tendency to abuse the privilege of credit. A man will often buy on credit articles that he would have to pay without if he were forced to pay cash."
If you do not get your Daily Kansan please notify Western Union (Bell 4321) and a messenger will bring you promptly your Kansan. Wait until seven o'clock in order to provide for emergency delays.
"Students' accounts are the best on our books," said another merchant, "Only in special instances do they run for more than ninety days. For longer accounts the students are willing for the debt to be taken over in the form of a note bearing a fair rate of interest."
The bankers of the city were not inclined to talk concerning the profit in handling student accounts. One banker, who appears to be more organized, said: "Although we are compelled to keep extra help to look after student checks, the increased business we get from the merchants because of the money spent by students is something that does not occur Lawrences and that offsets the cost of handling so many small accounts."
To Local Subscribers
The next banker held a peculiar view of the subject not common to the business world, he said. It is no less profitable than a small account taken from anyone else. We consider it a part of a man's education to learn something about banking and are willing to consider the student body to the education of the student body."
Seventeen Students Stand Up for Their Instructor
The Kansan is doing all in its power to perfect its carrier service but appreciates that adding to routes, new carriers, and especially this kind of weather, makes it probable that two or three out of a thousand may fail to get their papers.
Percy B. Shostac, an instructor in the department of English, has been vindicated, at least in the eyes of the students in his 1130 class, petitioning against being by most every member of the class protesting against the injustice done him by the circular. The petition says: "Professor Shostac's treatment of the works of Botticelli was enlightening without any suggestion of indecency."
The University Daily Kansan
CLASS DEFENDS SHOSTAC
This plan is to give each reader the maximum of service.
"We wish to add that we appreciate his efforts to stimulate us to a consideration of the important questions of life, art and literature."
The petition was signed by seventeen students and was presented to hatchback University's afternoon to the University's administrators that hey uphold Shmortz.

TO BE POPULAR, TALK
ABOUT THE COAL SUPPLY
If your house is warmed by a coal furnace, don't take that young man too seriously when he calls you up for a date on one of these cold nights. It is a cruel, cruel thought, but it is just like a man; that date may have been set for a date on the side of a red hot furnace sending up warm draughts into the house.
It is said that the number of dates has shifted perceptibly from gas-heated to coal-heated houses. A warm corner is very much in demand now and rosy checks, dreamy eyes, nearly white skin and the size of one's coal pile seems to be the current mark of the social success.
Gas is low during the cold weather—as usual. And the most enthusiastic date grows chilled in a room where icicles are sprouting. Therefore heed this moral: If you would be popular now, drop frequent hints about the pile of coal in the basement at your house.
GOING TO THE FOLLIES?
It's Going to be Staged in Law
rence This Year—With K. U.
People Starring
Enter the Follies of K. U., the Which's Which chorus, the Departmental Ballet, or anything you want to call it. Anyway, this gigantic whiz is cozy enough to provide its private car can be found, and its original line can be kept intact.
This big show, ladies and gentlemen, is the first of its kind ever presented within the limits of civilization and was evolved by the master minds of men whose prophetic vision has ascribed to them the compassionate and brought sorrow to many a fond mother's dream of her stalwart son or beautiful daughter.
TO BE OF MASTODONIC PROPORTIONS
The show these men have evolved from their master minds is stupendous. They know such gigantic size, such mastodonic proportions that it is seriously doubled if it can be staged in either the Bowersock Theatre or Robinson Gymnasium. However, the same master minds arrange all that, so don't give friends, but remember the date, February 2.
And back of this great production is a worthy cause, a cause of suffering humanity which cannot be expressed in words. The War Relief Fund to which the generous students have so bountifully contributed almost nothing is not a thing to be lightly overlooked. Men are dying, women are ill and women are making toe marks in the snow are begging for a crust, while on Mount Oread men and women walk in furs and woolens and eat to satiety.
FOR WAR RELIEF FUND
That is what this show is for, friend. Frankly that is the reason of its being. When men cannot be brought to realize the need of direct giving, why not have indirect giving done? Why not? Thus thought the master minds who invented this great show. Here is the olan they made.
HERE IS THE PROGRAM
Each department in the University of Kansas which can, will put on one big act of the show. The Glee Club will sing, the public speaking students will stage a farce, the disciples of H. A. Lorenz will probably tumble more than he did. It was tumbled and the boxers box more blood-thirstily than Jess Willard.
But, ladies and gentlemen, this is not all. There are other acts too, such as buying a book or being acquired faster than Fords. Still more are wanted. If you have one tucked away in a pocket or the family Bible, bring it out and present
And now, good people, before the show begins, make your date. And then it is leap-year. Don't overlook that striking fact. No woman should hesitate, unless Mrs. Brown diagrees to accompany her to a show where the box office money feeds and clothes the people of a ravaged land.

HAVE A GOOD TEAM
Aggies Will Make Kansas Fight Hard For a Basketball Victory
The Kansas Aggie basketball team will come to Lawrence tomorrow for a couple of games with Hamilton's five on the Robinson court. These will be the fifth and sixth Conference battles of the year for the Kansas State team, and men have gained from their experience with the Cornhuskers and Ames.
OLD MAN DOPE
The advance dope on the Aggie squad is meager, but from the playing they have been doing this year even the most optimistic Jayhawkower supporter cannot look for more than an annual dividend. The farmers lost only one from last year's squad, Captain Nelson. Seven letters were granted to Aggie players so six letter men will be on the squab which arrives in Lawrence tomorrow.
With the championship squad Hamilton had last year, the Aggies slipped up on Kansas for one game out of the series of four. This proved to be the only defeat for Dummeir's squad which led to a win against team back this year Lowman's men have the advantage of the green midgets who inhabit Mt. Oread.
In comparative scores the Aggies also have the advantage. Only one team has faced both the Aggies and Kansas this year, and that is the weak Washburn bunch. Kansas finished with a 38 to 10 score from the team while the opposing team a 66 to 10 game from them. Both Conference schools finished the second half with an entire set of substitutes.
HAMILTON IS OPTIMISTIC
HAMILTON IS OPTIMISTIC
But it must not be inferred that Kansas has not much of a chance with the Manhattan basketball cagers. On Wednesday, Columbus Coach Hamilton was loud in his case of the improvement in the style of playing showed by his men. He believes that they have hit their stride now and will put up some fights that will show championship class.
As was the case in the first part of the season, the line-up will not be known until the game is ready to play. It was used effectively in the Cornell-staff game against Kennedy, but the change was only temporary. Probably ten men will get into the fracas before it is over Thursday night. Friday night will be in line with that. Kansas expects the big end of the score at least one of the two nights.
Missouri is going to make a strong bid for the Valley basketball championship this year. Van Ghent has a good strong squad and they have shown their heels to all opponents so far. This includes Ames squash, both games, and one game week before Missouri visited Ames. Both games were one-sided victories with the long end of the score hanging on the Tiger side.
The Kansas Aggies have been reported as strong Valley Championship contenders this year. They have played no Conference games yet but the fact that they have the same line-up which proved so strong last year gives the doesters a chance to figure the Aggies in the running. Since Kansas has a poor chance of getting the colors for her own trophy case, the sport enthusiasts would like to see the Aggies admission to the Conference a few years ago the Lowmates have never had as good a chance in any sport as they have this year in basketball.
Baker and Friends Universities played a fast game of basketball in Baldwin last night. Baker took the long end of a 31 to 24 score and leads Zabel's team that Zabel's squad will be in for the Kansas state championship this year.
Glenn F.-R. Russ, a sophomore from Falls City, Nebraska, has withdrawn from school to take a position as manager of the awning and tent department of his brother's sack and tent factory in Shreveport, Louisiana. While Russ was a freshman he broke the freshman pole vault record several times but not officially.
