UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 7.1916
NUMBER 71.
SEASON OPENS TONIGHT
Jayhawkers Will Meet Ames in First Basketball Game
Snowtime on Mt. Oread
The lovers of basketball who inhabit Mount Oread will have their first chance to seb the 1916 Kansas action in squad when Coach Hamilton's offering appears on the floor tonight for the first game of the season. Missouri Valley Conference race will officially open with this contest.
In spite of the fact that it is the initial game of the season for both teams, this will doubtless prove more of a detriment to the Kansas than to their northern rivals. Among them with a squad of three players together with a coach although not all veterans, they know better what to expect of each other than do the men of the crimson and blue aggregation. For with only two men on the Kansas five who have ever played Varsity ball before, it could certainly remain a matter of mystery as far as the Kansas side is considered.
Four first class guards are to be found in Nelson, Wilson, Uhrlaub and Appel and probably the first two will start the game tonight. However, all four will give a chance in the game. Hoffman and Heath have given their ability and will get a chance to show their ability in the opening game.
TEAM WORKS HARD
PLENTY OF SEATS
But in spite of all the practices this week and the weeks previous Coaches Hamilton and Sproull have not been able to pick five men to start the game tonight. The only sure bet for the opening of the game is Cole, who will be selected and will be allowed at this position if the results of the first half will allow any substitution. Kowder, Gibbons, Pattinson and Kennedy stand equal chances of getting into the game at the two forward positions and all of them may get in for a short time. Miller and Gibson have also been showing up well of all.
Practice for the past week has been strenuous. On Monday night the "town gang" composed of former K. U. and city stars, including Mason Wright, "Lefty" Shrubbil, furnished the opposition for the Varsity squad. No score was kept but the "town gang" has a habit of taking the long end of the score. This time the defense of the Jayhawkers was better and the score was estimated at 35-14. The team made up most of the work with the three squads of Varsity men working against each other. Wednesday was the big practice of the week for the Haskell Braves came from their share of the scoring in "right" that night and the result proved an overwhelming defeat for the Indians.
The enlarged seating capacity of the gym will enable the handling of any sized crowd which may appear. With 616 reserved seats on the main floor and more than that number of unreserved seats in the balcony no one will have to stand to see the games unless the excitement be brought to life. The number of tickets has been good and a packed gym is expected to welcome the start of the "green" 1916 K. U, squad on the road to another Valley championship.
no captain has yet been chosen to take the place of Ray Folks, who did not return to school this year. A head for the team will be appointed for the two games with Ames, and an election held next week.
EXTENSION DIVISION
WANTS OLD MAGAZINES
If you have any old magazines that you do not want, give them to the correspondence division for use in their package library service.
Phone 25
If your prof holds you after the whistle blows, call K. U. 25 and give the Daily Kansan his shirt and the class which was held over.
"We have a constant demand for material that is contained in magazines, especially those issued during the last year," said Miss Nellie Stevenson, instructor in the division, yesterday. "We always find use for such public materials, like the Outlook, World's Work and Review of Reviews, and will appreciate any copies that the students can no longer use.
Night Class For K. C. H. S.
Night Class For K. C. H. S.
The University extension division announces the courses that will be offered next semester at the night at the Kansas City, Kansas high school where the division conducts schools. There are three courses for University credit and one special course. The new classes will be started about the twenty-fourth of this month.
HELP EUROPE'S SOLDIERS
Students Will Make Band ages and Supplies for Civic League
Bandage making and the preparation of hospital supplies promises to be a new way in which the students of the University can help the warring European nations, if the plans of the Lawrence section of the National Civic league to organize a student session of this society materialize.
During the Christmas vacation the work of extending the activities of the league over the entire state was started by the organization of such a society in Lawrence, and since that year has been made up of in making bandages and guae surgical sponges to be sent to the European base of the society in Paris and Bordeaux. From these two points the supplies are sent out to the field and base hospitals at the formerly handled by the Red Cross Society of this country, but on account of many other activities this special work was left in the hands of the National Civic League of which Miss Mary Willard is intermédiaire and Mrs. Ethelbe Nevin, wife of the compere is foreign secretary.
LAWRENCE WOMEN CAN INSTRUCT
In order that the work might be expanded in Lawrence a course was given to a number of Lawrence women during the vacation qualifying them as instructors in making, rolling and packing bandages. The Executive Committee of the University of Miss Edith H Snow, Mrs. T. H, Chalkley, Mrs. F. M, Benedict, and Miss May Gardner, the treasurer.
Work is being done every Monday and Thursday afternoons in the parlor of the Uitarianian church under the direction of the Executive Committee. About fifty women have been out every time the association has met thus far, including a number of the wives of faculty members, and a number of University women having worked in the labor put on a better working basis it is the plan of the Executive Committee to start a Saturday meeting so that the University women can have a time when they all can get together.
New material is used in making most of the bandages. They are made of muslins and gauzes. There is however, a need for old sheets, pillow cases, linens, and in fact any old clean white goods.
STUDENTS CAN GIVE OLD CLOTHES
"There is also a demand for old clothes that would be worth the shipping, and here the young people of the
University can respond as never before," said Miss Snow of the Executive Committee this morning. "According to Vernon L. Kellogg, faculty members at the University委屈 and special envoy from Germany to investigate conditions in Poland, the two most needed things in the war zone today are hospital supplies and medical equipment trying to supply as much of these as is possible for us to gather and ship."
All shipments are being made to the National headquarters of the National Civile League in New York City by Express, as the freight routes are slow and uncertain. Shipments are made every week through the port, and the returns that are coming in are very encouraging to the members of the league.
CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT STERILIZES
All of the bandages and supplies prepared in Lawrence by the league will be sterilized by the Chemistry department, jacked in air-tight sealed tin boxes and shipped for immediate transportation to the front. The chief kinds of supplies that are being made are plain gauze bandages of all widths, special muslinal fracture bandages, and gauze surgical sponges.
It is estimated that two hundred and fifty dollars will carry the work of the league entirely through the winter. Thus far ninety dollars have been donated, and it will be interrupted while the rest of the necessary amount is being raised. The Executive Committee is not asking for any large contributions to the fund, but it is hoping that every one in the team can contribute a little or able to contribute a little in either time or money to the work. A number of down-town merchants have been very liberal in donations of their products to companies have given liberal reductions on the shipments of bandages and clothing already sent.
The Ford peace expedition was a total failure in the opinion of the K U. Debating Society. The question "Resolved that the Ford Peace Expedition was a practical method of procedure" was not answered and Europe" lost at the meeting last night. It was defended by Whitehead and Brungton. The negative was taken by Asher and Reser. The question at next week's meeting will be "Resolved, that the Federal Constitution should be so amended as to make the laws easier to understand." The affirmative side will be Hagen, Walsh, and Schmutz; the negative, Woolsey, Stuewe, and Read.
Say Henry Failed
In an article Tuesday the reporter failed to mention the fact that Roy Napp's birthday occurred on Christmas Day.
GO AHEAD AND TATTLE
Tell on Time-Stealing Profs Even if Your Tongue be Slit
The corduroys have located the strongholds of the Shiny Brows and the last report says the air reeks of battle and smells like finals. The battle cry of cord-wearing journalists "start classes on time and stop classes on time" so they can see the snow and echolong from every proffortified building on the Hill.
Yesterday the corduroys located many vulnerable points and the Daily Kansan published the chart with the names written out in full. But there are more! Keep your eyes open and your ear cocked, ye long-suffering patients of the one-minute more profs, and report the advances of the enemy.
You need not wade through the deep drifts to the Daily Kansan office to report. Just open your ears and when you hear the swish-swish of water, listen for about; it's probably some corduroys and your chance to report is at hand.
Don't fail to report every offense. If the same prof continues to violate the rules of the University, the Chancellor's wishes, and the rights of the students, get into the game and take a shot.

REMITS SPECIAL FEB
K. U. Board Remedies Condition Prevailing in Fine Arts School
The $5.00 matriculation fee which has been charged of students wishing to take special work in the School of Fine Arts at the University, has been ordered refunded by the Board of Trustees of the Fine Arts faculty. Hereafter, no fee will be charged for this special work.
The order was issued because of the many complaints received from students who thought it unjust that they should have to make extra payment in order to take the work. Heredity and other factors are some of some teacher in the School of Fine Arts had to pay the regular matriculation fee.
"We expect a large increase in the enrollment as a result of the new order," said Harold L. Butler, dean of the School of Fine Arts. "We have a faculty of highly trained and experienced instructors and the people of Lawrence should look to the college for children to us rather than to some out-of-town school or to some professor who comes to town but once a week."

GLOSE FORMALS AI
University Women Would Have Annual Parties Close at 1 o'Clock Too
THE WOMEN'S PLAN
THE MEN'S PLAN
We recommend that this resolution, together with the one proposed by the University Senate, with the request that they be acted upon.
With all respect to the committee of men's student organizations we reject the rules for closing dances, and substitute the following rule for closing dances, and the committee of women's organizations. All dances shall close at 10 a.m., and Saturday night dances which shall close at twelve. There shall be no
To the University of Toronto, we regularly recommend that the rule governs the closing hour of dances be broken all close at one ́clock on Friday night and at twelve ́clock on Saturday night, with the exceptions noted in the
+ partner, that if your body does not care to make the recommended change, the students be permitted to vote on the question.
*[This rule allows formal parties to last till two o'clock.-Ed.]
Finally, that the opinion of a similar conference of women students be ascertained and given due weight.
At a meeting of representative University women which met last night at the call of Mrs. Eustace H. Brown, adviser of women, to discuss the recent dance ruling, a resolution was addressed to the University Senate asking that all dances held on April 30 be closed at club. There are to be no exceptions, none of the annual parties are to continue after 1 o'clock.
A similar meeting of representative men which was held Wednesday night adopted resolutions asking that dances continue until 1 o'clock, Saturday excepted, and that formal parties and the Prom and Soph Hop, be allowed to continue later as under the old rule. Both resolutions mitted to the Senate by Senate at its extention at a special meeting if we can be called, in the hope that the Senate will pass a rule more in harmony with student sentiment.
HISTORY OF THE FU $ ^{\infty} $
A number of sheets setting forth the proposed social etiquette and the new dance rules were passed. After stating her case and a short comment from Mrs. Brown, asked for the frank opinion of the women in the meeting.
At the beginning of the meeting, Mrs. Brown explained that it was her minority report, from the meeting of the committee on student interests, that was passed by the Senate, and it came as a surprise to her. She explained that the 12 o'clock rule as passed by the Senate was the faculty women of the university, of which organization, Mrs. Frank Spangler had been representatives at the meeting in the Chancellor's office. At that time a 1 o'clock rule was passed with Mrs. Brown's as only the dissenting vote.
An open discussion showed a division of opinion as to the exact form the change should take; but there were only five women we were in favor of the twelve. We ruled out of these being ones who do not blame Blanch Mullen, president of the W. S. G. A., crystalized sentiment when she spoke in the name of the W. S. G. A. and Kappa Kappa Gamma. Miss Mullen was for a universal 1 o'clock rule with no exceptions. After Miss Mullen's statement, most of the women expressed themselves in favor of the 1 o'clock rule. Mrs. Spangler was against it, posed rule, and several faculty women present said that knowing students as they did, felt that Miss Mullen's proposal was most satisfactory.
CAN'T GET DRESSED AT 8
Maureen McKernan, in a plea for the later hour, cited the difficulty girls living in high school have a large library in their homes for ready to read for a dance at eight o'clock.
Miss Nadine Nowlin, of the faculty, in expressing her opinion said that she was in favor of the 1 o'clock school day. She said she hadn't to school herself. Miss Nowlin said: "I agree with Miss McKernan. It will be necessary to have a faculty supervision of student bathing, along with the rest of the rules we are making; if we fail to follow them, a big ban would be able to get ready for a dance at 8 o'clock."
“ALMOST PERSUADED”—MRS. BROWN
ALMOST PERSONADED — MRS. BROWN
"Thou almost persuet me," said Mrs. Brown after listening to the woman's side of the question. In a final vote there were only four candidates for the rule. This morning Mrs. Brown said that she was still in favor of her own rule but could see the student's side.
The main arguments of the women were that 12 was too early to close a dance, and that the real harm came, not from the 1 o'clock dances, but from the formal parties that were allowed to last so late as an eclipse. In the school, the later dances should be done away with, and the 1 o'clock dances allowed.
