REPORT THAT PROF
NUMBER 69
If You Object to Pseudo-wit After Whistle Blows, Protest
Phone 25
If your prof holds you after the whistle blows, call K. U., and give the Daily Kickoff the imprint of the class which was held over.
Why not a faculty committee on discipline for professors who hold their classes overtime?
This seems to be the open season for those professors who can't say all they want to say before the whiteblows. You'll have an extra session held on student time.
While no doubt most of the cases of overtime are due to the conscious desire on the part of the professors to earn their salaries, the dormitory officers are committed by the witter members of the faculty family. Some of our professors are blessed with wonderful wit. They can't help being funny. We don't know if they've coeriously at every pause—and are then held overnight to listen to another chestnut.
CONDITION GROW
The conditions these facts have been popularly lately. The condition is becoming aggravated by the desires of each professor to work his lectures overtime in order to pound in his wisdom to make his students quiz-takers.
HERE'S YOUR CHANCE
Unfortunately students can't give their proof a cut for holding them overtime. Neither can they rise when the whistle blows and walk out of the room. The professor must teach it, and you it —you call while he finishes his hairn and then do a spring in ten flat to your class. When grades are not yet turned in, it is unwise, to say the least, for a student to assess itself in regard to working time. All he can do is seek with right-leg indignation. This is a difficult and exhausting procedure to go through four times every day.
Watch that prof of yours.
But there is hope ahead. Beginning tomorrow, any suffering student may report offending professors to the Daily Kansan and their names, including the hour when the offense was committed will be reported in a column under a head which will be most appropriate for the occasion.
Watch that prof of yours.
Call twenty-five every time he continues a pseudo-joke after the whistle blows.
GOSPEL TEAM SUCCEEDS
Holidays
Did Efficient Work Among Churches And Schools of State During Holidays
Church efficiency was the goal towards which the Gospel Teams of the Y. M. C. A. worked on their last trip. As a result, a Church Union was formed at White Cloud, Methampus, and Christ Churches, B. B. Balser will return later to White Cloud and assist the churches in their final plans and in the selection of a pastor. There has been much discussion about the ability of the teams for the smaller churches and the Y. M. C. A. hopes to establish the plan firmly.
WORK AMONG HIGH SCHOOLS
The gospel teams also organized Chartered Education, and worked among the high school boys, teaching them athletic games, helping them in their school work, and opening courses in hygiene. One night at each town was given to the discuss the student life. These students brought out the largest crowds and of much practical benefit to the University.
Efficient church work is the aim of these trips rather than individual conversions and the success achievable through large trips to laver town in the future.
The members of the two teams sent out were: B. B. Balser, captain; Charles Sloan, Herbert Howland, J. M. Johnson and L. B. Glyce to White Cloud, Kansas. The Circleville, Kansas delegation were James Sellers, captain, Edward Todd, and Wayne Edwards.
To Speak In K. C.

WILL GIVE LAW COURSE
IN COLLEGE NEXT TERM
Elementary law for college students—that is the purpose of a new course in law that will be offered to students in the seniors in the College next semester.
Heretofer it has been impossible for a man in the College to take even a little law without enrolling in the course. He will need additional fees for the privilege. The new course in the college will avoid this difficulty, and will offer instruction more suited to their needs than the technical courses in the School of Law.
Reserved seats for the opening basketball games of the 1915 Jaya-hawker season with the Ames Aggies, Friday and Saturday night in Berlin, where were on sale yesterday afternoon. A large crowd is expected by W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics, at both games. A re-arrangement of the gymnasium has increased the seating capacity by several hundred.
"The idea of the course is to give college men instruction in the ordinary principles of law, such as they are likely to need any time," explained Prof. Blain F. Moore, who will give the new course. The course involves a variety of technical nature, but the students will study the common principles of contracts, wills, and other things that they may need any day."
At a meeting of the trustees of Dickinson College, James Henry Morgan was unanimously elected head of that institution.
The new course is scheduled for 10:30', and will give three hours credit.

RICHARD OUT FOR BLOOD
Subject of Mr. Southwick's Recital not a Mollycoddle nor a Pacifist
'Richard III" is the Shakespearean drama which Henry L. Southwick of Boston, gave at his recital in Fraser Hall this afternoon.
While Shakespeare has shown Richard III as an unmitigated, doubleyed villain, in some instances historians have given it the label "Hood he lived." Brightest of all was "Hood he lived" with greater security, he would have beer, an able and admirable governor. He was "liberal and forgiving to the verge of folly," but of a "tyrannical temperament" and of a passionate friend for music.
During his reign he made what, for his time, was a liberal provision for the promotion and encouragement of literary effort. Other good measures marked his brief reign, such as the extension of England's commerce and the repeal of benevolence, but they have generally been attributed to his desire to maintain plurality and to open his bloody accession to the throne rather than to any innate goodness and true conception of his kingship.
But Richard was out for blood. There is no doubt of that. The play is not more bloody than the actual career of the hunch-back king; his revolting crimes; his harmonious warmth. All goes well for a time and his crimes bring to the power he covets until his surpassing and monumental crime, the murder of his two young VHILI officers, the eightful of the throne, appels his accomplice. Then the tide turns and nemesis brings Richard's defeat and death in 1485 at the hands of Henry of Richmond who became a monarch, inviting Elizabeth, heiress of the house of York, recieved the two houses of York and Lancaster, thus closing the thirty years' War of the Roses.
Mrs. Brown to Organize Committee of Students to Governor Social Affairs
TO REGULATE PARTIES
The president of the men's organizations of the Hill will meet Wednesday evening at the office of Mrs. Eustace Brown at seven-thirty o'clock. The purpose is that he will attend the meeting that will act with a corresponding women's committee concerning closing hours, dances, chaperones and everything which goes to make up the social life of the student body. Professor Patterson will commit to student interested who meet the plan will be at the meeting.
Mrs. Brown urges all the men presidents to be at the meeting as it will be their chance to voice their sentiments on these matters. She suggests that if any organization has a meeting on this night that the vice-president may take charge and the president attend the meeting.
About twenty-five women attended the first meeting of Miss Gladys Elliott's gym class which was held Monday night in Robinson Gymnasium. This class is composed chiefly of the women faculty members, wives of students and secretaries employed on the Hill.
The women presidents will meet on Thursday evening at the same time if

CLOCK IN SPOONER
TURNS A NEW LEAF
CLOCK IN SPOONER
No, not the Oancellor. Nor Mrs.
Brown.
Guess who made a New Year's resolution!
Brown.
And it wasn't the office cat
And it whatah? library clock. Having passed the time in slothful idleness all fall, the clock in the main reading room of Spooner Library, that self-same clock which has caused so many students to be late to class, that self-same clock - brace yourself now - is running. It started out the new year again, resolution never to again, did this clock which hasn't run a minute all fall. And so far it has not broken its resolution.
THE STUBBS BOYS AT PRINCETON
Well, well, and is this our Governor Stubbs in the morning paper who has just taken his two boys back east to enter Princeton? The same Governor Stubbs who from one end of the state to the other lambasted K. U. for its classical courses, "aastronomical mathematics" to be exact, and advocated more "salt-rising bread" courses, more practical studies for the youth of Kansas, courses that spelled bread and butter?
There must be some mistake. Surely it is not our former Governor who has chosen for his boys what is probably the most classical institution in the land. There must be some mistake.
Well, if this is the same Governor Stubbs his boys at Princeton will not be sent to classes in badly-ventilated, badly-lighted basements, nor assigned to overcrowded classes, nor to laboratories with archaic and incomplete equipment.
He thought that good enough for Kansas boys. He vetoed an appropriation that would have greatly remedied conditions for Kansas boys at K. U.
Nor will the Stubbs boys at Princeton be without dormitories, nor a Student Union, nor an auditorium, nor sufficient and highclass instructors. They will find at Princeton twice as many instructors per one hundred students as at K. U.; 320,000 volumes in the library as against 100,000 at K. U.
And yet six years ago K. U. was good enough for the average Kansan's son in the opinion of the Governor.
Perhaps it is the Governor's astute financial sense. He doubtless has had it pointed out to him that at Princeton nearly $400 is expended on each student while at K. U., the great state of Kansas—the great state with educational ideals, the great state that is out of debt,—expends $176 per student for instruction, taxing the citizens of the state the substantial sum of 14 cents on $1000 valuation for their University.
And out of this $176 must the University, largely at Governor Stubbs' demand, look after one hundred and one activities of the state, water-testing, drug-testing, community music, etc. Nothing like this at Princeton.
It is not a case of sour grapes with us. If we were not loyal Kansans, or did not have fathers who were loyal Kansans and we had the necessary fare to New Jersey and back, perhaps, who knows? we might be enjoying the educational advantages of Princeton, or Michigan, or Yale, or Wisconsin—along with the Stubbs boys.
There have been as great souls un known to fame as any of the most fa mous.—Poor Richard's Almanac.
