Students May Make Round Trip to Kansas City in Few Hours
The interubian line which will soon be in operation between Lawrence and Kansas City will give the University of Kansas the distinction of being situated in Lawrence and in Kansas City at practically the same time. Although an hour schedule has not yet been announced, it is almost certain that the new station something better, according to an unofficial statement made a few days ago by a man who is in a position to know the plans of the company.
The round trip fare will probably be one dollar. This will make it easy, even for persons who have to count their pennies, to travel back and forth very much as the city commuter goes to his work; and this will in many respects, revolutionize the life of the University.
It will be possible, for instance, for Lawrence people to attend the Kansas City theaters and return home the night before. It has been impossible for those who had to be in Lawrence early the next morning, or who could not afford to spend the night in the city, because Kansas City left at 9:30 o'clock.
CAN ATTEND THEATERS
CONVENIENT FOR STUDENTS
Again, it will be easy for students living in Kansas City to go back and forth every day and on a convenient schedule. At present a student who comes from Kansas City or from neighborting towns in the morning, cannot get back before 4:30 in the afternoon, leaving Lawrence, say, at 2:22. The new arrangement will put him there at 1:30, in time for dinner.
NUMBER 67.
WHAT ONE STUDENT DID
The railroad schedule now in operation forced one woman student last year to spend 48 hours a week going back and forth in order to attend two lectures when she was taking her class. She had to leave Kansas City the afternoon before her class, at about four o'clock, and reached Lawrence in time for supper. She spent the night at a hotel, which meant that she did not duly attend the lecture the next morning. Then she took the first train out for Kansas City at 2:22, and reached there at about四 o'clock. Multiply all that by two, and you get 48. The new road would have cut that down to two miles most, and probably great deal less.
ANOTHER SCHOLARSHIP
GIVEN BY MRS. JOHNTZ
The committee on Scholarships for Women of the University today received a check for $200 from Mrs. Pearl Mason Johnitz, Fine Arts, 60, nc.edu. He would like to start a new fund for the founding and maintenance of a loan scholarship for women of the University. The scholarship is in memory of her father the Rev. G. W. Mason, and he added to time to meet by Mrs. Johnitz.
The scholarship will be given in the spring when the others are away.
Dr. Maser was a man prominent in his profession, of wide reputation and of great benevolence during his life. When his daughter, now Mrs. Pearl Maser Johns, was on the Hill, Dr. Maser was always giving to the needy.

Y. W. C. C. A. Social Workers Give Christmas For Poor
Many little hearts were made glad Wednesday afternoon when Christmas presents were distributed to over thirty poor children of the city by the social settlement workers of the Y. W. C. A.
A large Christmas tree with all the trimmings was set up in Friendship Hall, Ninth and Delaware, by the Y. W. C. A, women and dolls had been decorated for their special sororities. Other gifts, toys, fruits and candies were there too.
the little folk were treated to a surprise when they entered the playroom of the settlement house and saw the large candle-lighted tree with its ornamentation and praise; they felt appalled and asked for everything on the tree. Christmas stories were told the children who in return proudly spoke the little pieces which they had learned in school. The whole affair was prolific in results and the childs joy may had as much fun out of the entertainment as did the school children.
A.K.U.CALL
Of late, we have heard much of cafeterias; all of us have looked with envious eyes toward Ames and a hundred other colleges and universities which operate clean eating-houses at ourselfs; we feel sorry for ourselves.
But we don't need to. There is just one necessary thing which the students can get before a cafeteria which will accommodate all who will care to use it can be had. That one thing is a building.
The Board of Administration has promised that it will put in the fixtures and start in good running order a suitable cafeteria if the room is given. For one thousand dollars, a good building could be constructed to accommodate six hundred students. Go home this Christmas and tell your candidates about the condition up close. You are in a classroom classes are held in badly-lighted, poorly-heated basements and garrets, and then tell them that Kansas is one of the few universities in the Middle West that does not furnish a decent eating place for the students. What they will have some weight; if you save it.
Let's all get together and back the Board in asking an insignificant sum from the legislature that we may have a good University cafeteria.
PRAISES STUDENT AID
Treasurer of Belgian Fund in New York Thanks University for Help
A letter of appreciation and thanks was received this morning by Chancellor Frank Strong from Henry Clews of New York City, treasurer of the Dollar Christmas Fund for Destitute Belgians.
Mr. Clews asked the Chancellor to thank members of the student body for their practical gift to the desi- tionarians. The letter in full follows;
My Dear Chancellor:
In behalf of our committee I desire to acknowledge the valued donation to our Fund of $118.20 collected by the students of the University of Kansas. Your generous support will help us considerably in the effort we are making to alleviate a number of the most destitute students in our community, who will be glad to know that we have already devoted $0,000, part proceeds of our collections, to the work of relief under the auspices of the American Commission for Relief in Belgium, and we trust to hand over for a similar purpose, another substantial sum before our Fund closes. To me as Treasurer it is very gratifying to have the cooperation of the University of Kansas in our work, and I shall be glad indeed if you will be good enough to thank, in my name, the various subscribers who have expressed their sympathy for Belgium; suffering in so practical a way.
With personal respect, I am Most truly yours, Henry Clews

JAYHAWKS SCORE SIXTY GIVES NINTH CONCERT
Basketteers Romp Over K.C. High School in Their First Game
First Game
Coach Hamilton's Jayhawker basketser kept their 1915-16 season last night by winning an easy practice game from the Junior College of the Polytechnic high school of Kansas City. The final count was 38-27 for Coach Hamilton and 34-23 for Varsity men used by Coach Hamilton during the game had an easy time in winning, there was much in the ragged team work and loose handling of the ball to give Coach Hamilton and Coch Spruill plenty of work between now and the opening of the season January with Ames in Robinson gymnastum.
The "Poly" highs were the first to score but a goal by "Slats" Cole who registered seven during the evening, tied the score and from then on the score increased. In the rear. The first half ended 25 to 12 but the second period, despite a complete shift in the Kansas lineup, proved even worse for the visitors, only six points being scored while the coyote quintet was rolling up thirty-five.
COLE MAKES SEVEN GOALS
Although pleased at the good showing ability shown by the recruits, Coach Hamilton admitted after the game that will have to be pounded out of the squad before it will class up with the K. U, fives of the last few years.
Despite the wide margin in the score several of the Junior College players showed up well, Green at left was one of the first to tossing free throws. Trautwein at center together with Green proved the only players capable of solving the Jayawhaker defense. This pair made it through the screen recorded by the visitors during the game.
WHOLE SQUAD PLAYED WELL
Practically all of the double quintet used by Coach Hamilton showed up well. The four forwards, Kennedy, Gibbons, Washburn, and Kowder were playing a nature game. Appel and Nelson who played the defensive most of the game looked good. The veteran Cole at center not only got the jump on his opponent every time he was also taken seven field positions himself the individual marker of the evening.

Band Makes Its Annual Fall Appearance—Renders Difficult Program
The University band gave its ninth annual fall concert last night in Fraser Hall at eight o'clock before a large and appreciative audience. The program was the heaviest ever played by the band. The applause was immense after every selection and the desired number of encores could not be played on account of the lack of time and the desire to finish the regular program. The selections were as a whole the best of the day, judging from the way they were played the audience seemed satisfied that K. U, has a real band.
The band owes its success and efficiency to its unitting and able director J. C. McCanles. Mr. McCanles has had charge of the band for seven years and in that time he has formed an organization that is one of the most highly appreciated in the University.
Besides the student tickets several quarters were taken in, which is an evidence of interest in the band by persons outside the University.
After the concert, to show his appreciation of the work done by the students in the band, Mr. McCanes gave them a little feed of brick ice cream, and they wished them the usual joy and good times of Christmas and New Year.

After being brought to Kansas City, Mo., from Salina, Kans., Santon Sanchez, a Mexican who is slowly succumbing to tuberculosis, was rejected by several of the hospital staff. After receiving treatment at the University hospital at Rosedale, where he is in a weak and pitiable condition,
DYING MEXICAN BATTERED FROM PILLAR TO POST
Salina didn't want Sanchez, so the chief of police put him aboard a Union Pacific train on a stretcher Dec. 7, and sent him to Kansas City. Kansas City has been imposed on in such a manner before and therefore the hospitals were justified in calling it 'a bad situation somewhere.' And he guarded to the matter Governor Carper ordered that the practice of Kansas towns of sending destitute sick persons on to the next station must be stopped.

M. U. STUDENTS PROTEST
Annual Jayhawk-Tiger Battle Injures Their Morals They Say
The Young People's Societies of the University of Missouri, in a union meeting, have petitioned the authorities of both the University of Missouri and the University of Iowa to hold the annual football game on some other day than Thanksgiving Day.
WANT NO THANKSGIVING GAMES
They reason that the contest on Thanksgiving Day is contrary to the spirit and purpose of the day and interferes with its proper observance; the Thanksgiving day game is not merely detrimental to the morals of the college town but to the state as a whole. The state and the world at large that the standards of the world are placed above the standards of religion at the University of Missouri, as well as at the University of Kansas.
MAY CALL VALLEY CONFERENCE
"In view of the above reasons," the petition reads, "and because of our belief in their validity, we submit this protest, and petition that in the future we will make it possible in by the two Universities concerned, nor by the University of Missouri with any other University on the National Day of Thanksgiving, but that in our of our forefathers shall still prevail as the proper observance 'the Day.'"
This is the only step that has been taken in the agitation of doing away with the game on Thanksgiving Day. We have done so because a conference of faculty members of the Missouri Valley schools will meet and draw up a resolution. This in turn will give us a reference of the heads of the institutions with which rests the final judgment.

This Must Be A Mistake
This Must Be A Mistake In a communication to the Washington Daily, a member of the faculty gets real confidential;
"Don't get the idea that your instructors expect you to spend your holiday poring over books, for they, too, know what it is to look forward to times when they may accomplish those things which are put aside from day to day because study keeps them busy".
Many are the students that are feeling the effects of the professors' pre-Christmas drive.
