SIGNIFICANCE OF THE GAME.
Few
Realize What the Result of the Kansas City Contest Means to Kansas.
Kansas 29, Missouri 0, is next to the largest score that a Kansas football team ever ran up against the Missouri Tigers and after the supreme confidence expressed by Coach McLean just previous to the game and after a summing up of the great victory, the score of 29 to 0 in favor of Kansas has a manifold meaning. First it shows that Kansas is entirely out of Missouri's class and is capable of giving the best teams in the West a hard fight. This is true when considered from all points of view. At the first of the season Missouri played fearfully poor ball but at the time of the Purdue contest was playing fast ball and this was not denied by any one. Missouri did not play a game for several weeks before Thanksgiving and Kansas had an uncertain quantity to play against. The press was full of reports of the rapid development of the Tigers just previous to the game and the fact that Kansas ran up such a large score cannot be so much attributed to a poor team at Missouri University as a superb aggregation at Kansas University. The Kansas City Star said that Kansas undoubtedly had an unusually strong team and one of the best in the Central West. It also said that Kansas could defeat Nebraska the way Nebraska played in the Haskell-Nebraska contest and it is well known that Booth lett no stone unturned that would have a tendency to impede the progress of the sturdy redskins. The Kansas City Star saying that Kansas could defeat Nebraska adds more credit to it than the report would otherwise have. The Star has the reputation of telling the truth and when such reports appear in the sporting columns there is no love nor prejudice to promote it.
Keep Monday night open for the Foot Ball Jollification, Blake Hall.
With the last great victory of 1904 and practically a clean sweep of the season Kansas feels justly prond of its team and next year the prospects are that there will even be a better eleven than the one that has just won so many honors for the crimson and blue.
With the last score of 29 to 0 the Kansas schedule this season so far as amateur college teams are considered. The only aggregation that has succeeded in defeating the Jayhawker team is Haskell and they also made a clean sweep of the season and only fell before Carlisle in a postseason contest.
MRS. ARMINA MARVIN DEAD.
Wife of Late James Marvin, Chancellor of K. U. and also Mother of Dean Marvin.
Mrs. Armina Le Suer Marvin, widow of the late James Marvin died at 7:30 Sunday night at her home on South Vermont St. Her illness was brief and its fatal termination was owing chiefly to her years. She would have reached her 80th. birthday on Tuesday of this week.
Armina LeSeur was born in Allegheny Co., New York, Nov. 30, 1824. During her young womanhood she attended Alfred Academy, now Alfred University. Here she met James Marvin to whom she was married at Bolivar, N. Y. in 1851. Four children were born to them; FrankO., at present dean of the Engineering school of the University; Mina E., wife of Professor Wilcox of the Greek department; and Clifford and Henry P. Both of these died in infancy.
James Marvin taught in the East until 1874 when he came west and became Chancellor of the University of Kansas. Kansas University was not then the
BARTON'S
DECISION.
What the Illinois Man Has to Say Regarding the Kansas Man.
Below is the letter written by Professor H.J.Barton of the University of Illinois which conveys his opinion of the eligibility of Captain Hicks, Pooler, Rice and Griggs. Prof. Barton is the Illinois representative in the Big Nine conference and is also secretary of that conference. Missouri suggested Prof. Barton and Kansas accepted. Professor Wilson Sterling
The University of Kansas.
Dear Professor, Sterling —
The University of Kansas. My Dear Professor Sterling.— Yesterday I telegraphed you my decision in the case submitted.
From the evidence submitted it is quite clear to me that the men have not destroyed their amateur standing. Their action was a very foolish one I thinkbut only foolish—for 'Varsity men to be playing football on County teams is a good way from the standard which ought to be maintained. However

great school it is now. Legislators and obstinate town councils had to be dealt with and in these matters the tact and hospitality of the Chancellor's wife played no small part.
Mrs. Marvin has had an influence upon the University of Kansas that falls to the lot of few women. She had a husband who gave the best years of his life to this institution. She gave a son to become the head of one of the most important schools of the University, and a daughter to become the wife of one of the most influential professors of the University.
Armina Le Seur united with the Methodist Church when a young girl and, until the weakness of age made it impossible, was a constant attendant at that church.
The funeral was held at the family home at 1605 Vermont street at two o'clock Tuesday. Dr. Frank Lenig of the First Methodist church conducted the services assisted by Rev. W. W. Bolt of the Plymouth Congregational church. The music was furnished by Mr. and Mrs. Hults, Mrs. Busch and Prof. W. H. Carruth. A beautiful setting by Prof. Marvin of Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar" was sung as part of the service.
1st. It is perfectly clear that by playing against professionals they did not destroy their standing for while this is the A. A. U. rule it is not the College rule. This is well understood.
Interment was made in Oak Hill Cemetery.
2nd. While there may be a well grounded suspicion that the local management had assurances that any loss would be made good by the men who bet still the contract under which the boys played is the only thing in law or equity by which the players can be bound. This contract is in substance what the conference colleges are using with minor teams and no objection is possible. The newspaper reports and hand bills are not evidence as against the plain words of the contract. I presume this will commend itself to you. I also hope on more mature reflection it will also to the Missouri authorities. I have the honor to remain
Very sincerely yours,
this has nothing to do with the matter submitted.

COST STUDENT $30 TO THROW A PENNY.
California and Stanford Clear a Fortune at the Annual Coast Game—Illinois Wants Louger Vacation at Christ mas—Wells Girls Imitate Politicians-Cornell Man Fined.
The Cornell Sun editorially protests at the injustice done to students by magifying their little transactions of law. One man at Cornell was recently fined $30 for throwing a penny on the stage of the Lyceum Theatre.
The receipts of the California-Stanford game this year are said to be the largest in the history of western football. The total receipts were $30,308,and the approximate expenses $1,000,making $29,308 to be divided between the two colleges.
California's football season does not end at Thanksgiving. She will have a Christmas game this year with the Sherman Indians.
A movement is on foot at Illinois to petition the faculty to have the Christmas holidays begin on Friday, December 16, instead of Wednesday, December 21. as is now the arrangement.
Dr. Carl Williams, head football coach at Pennsylvania, who this year turned out the championship team of the year, will sever his connection with the institution this year. It is said that Pennsylvania will follow Yale's example and adopt a regular graduate coaching system.
The girls at Wells college on Hallowe'en had an enthusiastic political rally. The girls played the parts of political leaders of national prominence, and made fine speeches on current questions.
THE GRIDIRON AFTERMATH.
In his last game Capt. Albert Hicks played a praiseworthy part and kept his men together in such a way that the result and the work of Captain Hicks will go down in history and will have a longer life than the general who so ably directed the Kansas team in 1904. The remark "Hicks is certainly a wonder" could be heard on all sides and the favorable comments made upon the Kansas captain should make every Kansan, and especially Beloit, proud of Albert Hicks and his career at the University of Kansas.
Pooler sustained his reputation as a star player and in the Missouri game proved himself a capable man for captain next year and one deserving the honor which is one of the greatest that the University of Kansas can bestow upon a man.

Kansas has always more supporters after the game than before.
Captain Stangland, of Columbia, was so severely injured by a blow on the head, in the Yale game that he lost his senses of taste and smell.
"Though K. U. did not play its entire first team, yet we have something to crow over. We scored against the University and Washburn did not."-The Students Herald.
"The Kansas University may well be proud of its football captain. He is an unusually good football player as is proved by the record of the University team. More than that, he is a scholar and a gentleman. His command of the English language is something marvelous. The Herald predicts a brilliant future for the gentleman when the football season is over." —Students' Herald.
--of what has been charged to her, she is doing an injustice to herself by not making a public statement of the condition of her athletic association. It may be that the faculty of Washburn is not acquainted with all that is done in athletics. If they are not it is time some investigation was made, for public opinion in Kansas is doing Washburn a great deal of damage."—College Life.
"It is to be hoped that the Uai universities of Kansas and Nebraska will patch up their differences before the beginnng of the football season next year. These two colleges are really the centers of football interest in the Missouri valley, and it is to be deplored that the relations between them are not what they ought to be. Those who saw the game between Nebraska and Kansas in 1903 remember it as one of the best games ever played in this part of the country, and the chances are that had the teams met during the season just closed they would have furnished a game as good as the one of the previous season. Foot ball in the Missouri valley needs just such games to make the interest in the sport commensurate with that of the East and the Middle West."—K. C. Star.
"Prior to last year, Washburn had no better football team than the average denominational school of Kansas, but for some hidden reason last year enough heavy and fast men appeared on her gridiron to class her among the leaders of football in the state. This con lition has caused much criticism throughout the other schools of the state, and Washburn has again and again been accused of professionalism. In the face of this criticism, Washburn has made no public explanation. It is beginning to be believed that silence is convicting her of the greatest evil in athletics. If she is not guilty

SOME JEALOUSY.
"Once in an edition of the KANSAN, Kansas University's official paper, there appeared a statement, which the College of Emporia proudly publishes in College Lite, that C. of E. was the University's best friend, because once upon a time when K. U.'s., football team was in Emporia playing the Normal the C. of E. co-eds yelled for the University. Why? C. of E. envies us because we always defeat them in our match games. Notwithstanding, how does a little squeaking noise C. of E. can produce compare with the aid the Normal renders K. U. in the line of athletics, regardless of other efficient material going to the University each year. K S. N serves K. U. just as a manufacturing concern does the populace. Two-thirds of the Normal football team will be playing within K. U.'s, team within two years. How many C. of E. men are there playing in K. U.'s., team? None K. U. is even now aching for such men as McFarland, Hyndman, Hensley, Light and others. Thus see, the Normal is many times the greater benefactor of the two."—State Normal Bulletin.

STARKWEATHER SHOE GO.
The plan is again being discussed of organizing a foot ball league in the West to correspond with that of the Middle West known as the "Big Nine." It is suggested that the following colleges be included: Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, and Leland Stanford, California. A proposition of this kind was discussed at the end of the season last year, but nothing was done. It seems to be a pretty good sort of a scheme and would no doubt establish football in the West on a firmer basis.

There is a plan under advisement at Cornell for the military science department to give a series of military hops during the year. These hops used to be notable events in Cornell social life, but they were discontinued some years ago because they were not financially successful.

Recently in Chapel Chancellor Strong said that there is no other University where the conditions are better for the establishment of traditions than in the University of Kansas. Few know why the bell is rung in Fraser hall just before Chapel service, but it is a custom which has been handed down from the time when there was no whistle to be blown and where the bell could be heard over the whole University because of its very small size. The school was at that time but the north end of the main building.
"And do you expect to follow in the footsteps of your father when you grow up?" asked the good man.

THE KANSAN.
OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
VOL.I. NO.22.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, DECEMBER 3, 1904.
FOOTBALL JOLLIFICATION
Monday Night is the Date.
Monday night has been set aside as the occasion upon which the victories of the past season will be lauded and magnified, and when the worthies who have so faithfully executed their charges on the gridiron in defence of the crimson and blue, will be awarded the great "K."
The band will meet at the foot of the hill on Tennessee and Adams and a crowd will follow it to the top of the hill where a general reception will be given the season's notables. Chancellor Strong and Mrs. Strong and Dean Green will be present and some others who are expected to say a few words that express the feeling of admiration that fills the air in praise of the football men of the season of 1904. None of the football men will be called upon to make a speech, so those having the matter in charge say, unless the player agrees before-hand to comply with the wishes of the crowd. This is the last opportunity that will be given the students and faculty to show their appreciation of the good work.
Let Everybody Be Out.
THE JUNIOR SPREAD.
Informal But a Most Successful Occasion.
Thursday night the Junior girls gave their first "spread" of the season in the gymnasium. They gathered at Vic Keller's and marched up the hill with the eatables about 6:30. Table cloths we spread on the floor of the "gym", and about sixty Juniors sat around the heaps of sandwiches, salad, oranges, apples, grapes and bananas. Never did a class spread have more or better things to eat.
After lunch, the floor was cleared and dancing begun. Some delay was occasioned by the tardiness of the musician, but it was made up for when he did arrive. One of the enjoyable features of the evening was a German Waltz, girl's choice. There was such fun that it was encored a number of times.
After the concert at Fraser hall a number of other classmen came over and joined in the pleasure, and they pronounce the Juniors "jolly good fellows." The dancing ceased at 11 o'clock when the lights went out. The Junior girls say this is only the first of a number of like affairs.

THE CHANGELLOR'S APPRECIATION.
The Chancellor wishes the KANSAN to say that he very much appreciates the helpfulness of the students when his mother met with an accident some time ago.
MANDOLIN GIUB WEDNESDAY
Best Mandolin Club in History of School —Creditable Showing Assured.
The University of Kansas Mandolin Club will give its Annual Fall Concert in the University Chapel next Wednesday evening, December 7.
The Mandolin Club this year is easily the best club the University has ever had. The peculiar instrumentation with especially arranged music gives an orchestral effect that is unusually pleasing
The members and their positions are: first mandolins, Hein Goldman, Wallis Wilson. Omer Goyett; second mandolins, Oscar Skoftstadt, Frank Bedell, Clyde Funchess; third mandolins. Roy Camburn, Jerome Beatty; guitars, Walter Guy, Glen Bramwell, Sam McReynolds; banjo, Chas. Seewir; flute, Frank Brock; cello, Erank Sorgatz; drums and traps, Albert Lander.
This 15 piece orchestra has been directed by J. L. Newhouse and Heim Goldman.
It is dependent only upon its own members. Only K. U. students are connected with the club and only members will appear on the program or go on the trips.
Roy Camborn, Wallis Wilson, Clyde Funchess and Frank Sorgatz make up a quartette that will sing new college foolishness.
Clever specialties and solos will be given by the club men
The club as a whole plays varied styles of music but the greater part of the program is new popular music.
At all except two towns the club has all its expenses guaranteed beside the usual per cent. After each concert the club will play for a K. U. dance or reception.
The program opens with the "K. U. Mandolin Club Overture" and closes with "Hop Lee," a Chinese murder in two sharps and one flat.
The students from Wyandotte county met Friday, and organized a county club. The following were elected as officers.
WYANDOTTE CLUB.
The admission for the concert next Wednesday evening is 25 cents Tickets may be obtained at the check stand or of club members.
The club will take a ten days trip at Christmas.
Elmer Sigler, president; Richard Speck, vice president; Alfred Richter, secretary and treasurer. This county is well represented in the University and its organization has been a long looked for event. Some good work is expected from Wyandoite representatives.
Three fraternities will have line parties.
BASKET BALL PRACTICE BEGUN.
Hicks and Pooler Among the Likely Candidates—Eating Club Teams to Organize-Faculty Team Playing Regularly.
The unorganized state of the basket ball team is due to the fact that last year's Captain, Pete Allen, is not in school this year, also on account of the trouble the latter part of last season about the eligibility of players.
The schedule of this year's games has not been arranged, but it will probably include the the local teams of Baker, Ottawa, Emporia, Washburn, Haskell, and Missouri, and it is rumored that some of the big teams of surrounding states will be included. Wisconsin and Iowa are the principal ones mentioned at present.
The foot ball season is over and basket ball now takes the energy of the athlete. Basket ball is in a rather chaotic condition as far as organization is concerned but this does not prevent practice. Twice a week. Tuesday and Friday nights at 7:30, the players are meeting. There are always more than enough present to have a game, among whom are a number of the old players. Only a few of the foot ball men have come out as yet but next week McCoy Adams, Michaelson, Pooler, Hicks, and Chappell will join the squad.
Besides those trying for the regular team there is much interest among others who play basketball simply for the exercise. The faculty team is out every Tuesday and Thursday afternoons playing the scrubs. A number of the boarding clubs about town intend to organize teams this coming week.
CAPT. HICKS IS COACHING.
Captain Hicks is in Sumner county this week coaching the Sumner county High School football team.
Regent T. W. Butcher secured Hick's services last week when he was here.
Sumner county has had an exceptionally strong football team this year but has one or two post season games with semiprofessional teams which it is anxious to win. So the Sumner officials induced the great end of K.U. to go down and teach them a few tactics new to the high school aggregation.
Prof. J. A. Craig, of the department of Semetic Languages and Literature and Hellenistic Greek of the University of Michigan, will speak in University hall, December 13, on "The Cuneiform Inscriptions of Babylonia and Persia."
EAST MAY DEBATE WEST.
Cornell and Wisconsin Lay Plans for Forensic Contest—Darmouth Abolishes Fraternity Politics.
Last summer a communication was received by Professor Frankenburger, of the University of Wisconsin, from the University of Cornell in regard to a western debate. They said that they were contemplating a debate with a Western University and that they would like to hear from Wisconsin. Professor Frankenburger responded that a debate between the two schools could undoubtedly be arranged. No reply has been received from Cornell as yet, although they have received a further request that a debate be negotiated.
Yale and Harvard musical clubs gave a joint concert in New Haven last week. Harvard was represented in this concert by clubs numbering over ninety men.
Ice practice for theVarsity and Freshmen Hockey teams of Columbia has started at St. Nicholas Rink. Elementary team work is being practiced.
THE NEXT CAPTAIN.
The freshman class at Dartmouth has unanimously pledged its members to cast unpledged ballots in all elections, and to refrain from bartering votes. These resolutions have now been adopted by all classes in the college. Since their adoption elections have been free from all the objectionable features which "fraternity politics," had introduced into college affairs.
So far no captain for next year's football team has been selected but there is an unanimous opinion that Bert Pooler will be the successor of Captain Hicks.
There is no other candidate and it is probable that no one could beat Pooler anyhow. In "Plucky" Pooler Kansas will have a competent field general and one of the best known players that ever donned a Jayhawker moleskin. He has won more than one game for Kansas and has at all times retained absolute self control.
Pooler is deserving of the very great honor and praise that he has won.
Among the guests who will be invited to the Engineer's Banquet are: Mr. J. M. Mead, Assistant Engineer of the Eastern Grand Division of the Santa Fe, and Mr. G. Bloom, Principal Assistant Engineer of the Rock Island. Last year Mr. John Punell, Superintendent of Topeka shops and Mr. A. E. Stillwell were invited.

Musical organizations are a good thing for a University just as a football team or a good faculty or a loyal student body is. In going over the state representative musical clubs of a college create a good or bad impression that is very lasting and does unlimited good or harm to an institution. The conduct of the men while on the trips also adds much to the reputation they make for their college in the towns visitel. Clubs sent out in years gone by have received some harsh criticism and some that was injurious to the University. This should not happen, and with the clubs that tour the state this year, the University of Kansas will get a reputation as a place where good clean gentlemen are educated and not a place where rich parents send their sons to sow wild oats. These clubs deserve the support of the student body and when they give a concert, they deserve a large audience and a representative one.
The Glee Club concert was a credit to any institution in America and the evening's entertainment was a better one than the average professional troupe gives for double the price. This year's glee club is made up of good representative University men and the trip that they will make will be a good thing for the University both now and in years to come. The men will also receive no little benefit from the trip. In their dress suits, which on them are good things in the proper place, the University of Kansas Glee Club makes an appearance that does itself much credit. The members are to be congratulated upon their work and upon the program they render and upon the appearance they make.
The most imperative of the present needs of the University is a new gymnasium. The "Gym," in present use is small and poorly equipped, and is entirely inadequate to the needs of the University. As the number of students increases so also should the equipment of the college increase. In other large institutions the gymnasiums are large buildings fully supplied with exery modern apparatus, and are open all day and late at night for the use of the students. Our "Gym." is a discredit to the University and State Auditor Wells surely did not understand the circumstances fully when he refused to recommend an appropriation for a new one.
K. U. is amply blessed with college songs We have our jolly songs, those that are sung on a hay-rake rile, and our really good songs, which we sing in chapel. This latter includes "The Crimson and the Blue," "The Rock Chalk Song." and "Away Out West in Kansas," and it is these that should receive more attention. Why not, when we have them, sing one of these songs at every Friday morning chapel exercises? There is nothing that arouses such enthusiasm or binds the students together so closely as does the singing of college songs.

The failure of the water supply is becoming a frequent and unpleasant occurrence.

THE CHANCELLOR'S FOOTBALL VIEWS.
Chancellor Strong reviewed the work of the football team during the past season in Chapel Tuesday.
He said, "This season has been the most successful football season K. U. has had for many years. It is not only a victorious season but a season of clean athletics."
"The men who have sacrificed their time and strength to this end should receive the thanks of everyone connected with the University."
"The scholarship and character of the players of this year's team is above the average. The University is proud of the team and their record. K. U. athletics have been placed on a clean basis."
The presenting of the "K's" will be made a State occasion and an unusually large assembly of students this year is expected

GLEE CLUB CONCERT.
The numbers which were most enjoyed by the audience were the Verdi number, "Oh Hail Us, Ye Free," which was especially fine, "The Tinker's Song," from "Robin Hood," and "Three Doughtie Men" in which the "team work" of the club was particularly noticeable.
The programme was relieved from any tinge of monotody by the excellent work of the Glee Club Quartette composed by H. E. Popham, J. W. Lapham, H. H. Asher, and L. W. Scherer. The quartette furnished the humorous part of the programme and some of their selections were practically plausible. They received three encores to two each of their numbers. Mr. Hubach was compelled to respond to encores to both of his solos.
The Glee Club gave their annual Fall concert in the University chapel last Thursday evening. The attendance was large but was not the turn out of the student body which so good a concert deserved.
The "humanaphone," an instrument which must be seen to be appreciated, excited considerable merriment and was one of the unique features of the entertainment. The concert was a decided credit to the Glee Club, to the director, and to the University.

The Kansas City Journal says that Michaelson is the star center of the West. It is certain that it there is any more of a star center in the West he will have to hurry up in order to even appear luminous as compared with Michaelson. In losing Manly Michaelson, Kansas will lose one of the best line men that ever donned a Jayhawker moleskin and will lose a combination of a gentleman, a student and a star football player, co-mingling in such a way as to make the Kansas center of the season of 1904 a remarkable man.

SOME UNIVERSITY SOCIETY HISTORY
Snow Anniversary Promotes Interesting Bit of History Regarding "Lits" and "Frats."
Last Saturday evening Snow Literary held its annual special meeting, at which Registrar Geo, O. Foster, and ex-Chancellor, F. H. Snow addressed the society.
Mr. Geo. O. Foster, one of the charter members of the society, told something of its foundation and early history. It was organized by law students in about the year 1897. Mr. Geo. R. Christman, now principal of the Salina schools, was chosen the first president. The society was named in honor of Chancellor F. H. Snow.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, DECEMBER 8, 1904.
Dr. Snow, who has been in the University since 1866, traced the history of the various literary societies since that time. In October, 1866, it was the desire of the students of the University to have a literary society open to both sexes, but this was deemed highly madvisable. However, before the end of the school year, the "Acropolis," admitting both boys and girls, was founded. At that time there was great prejudice against coeducation. Kansas was the first State University to admit women.
Several years later interest in the "Acropolis" seemed to wane and some of the boys, deeming this state of affairs to be the fault of the girls, seceded, forming the "Orpnelian Society," and the old "Acropolis" in its weakened condition, took the name of the "Oread."
For nearly twenty years these societies existed, and were very nearly equal in strength. Out of the Oread Society grew the Beta fraternity, called then the Delta Phi. The Pi Phis also grew out of the Oreads Prof. Snow does not, however, attribute to the fraternities the loss of the former interest in literary societies. He says that the University has grown beyond the stage where everything is centered in "literaries." Dr. Snow says, "There is something that these literary societies do give which is given no where else—drill in extemporaneous speaking."
SNOW FLIES.
Dr. F. H Snow was notified a few days ago that a new species of horse fly which he discovered in Arizona last summer had been named after him by the expert who classified it. It will be known to science as the Snowella Atrata.
Prof. E. H. S. Bailey will deliver a lecture to the students of University Medical college at Kansas City, Mo. next Friday on "Sanitary Chemistry."
MANDOLIN CLUB GONGERT.
U. Players do Good Work and are Frequently Applauded.
The K. U. Mandolin Club gave its second annual concert in the University chapel last night. The large audience present thoroughly enjoyed the program which was different from any that has ever before been given by a Mandolin Club. The jugging of Jerome Beatty made a pleasing change in the program and was the special feature of evening. His work with bottles was especially fine. Heim Goldman, the leader of the Club, gave two excellent mandolin solos, the last, "Gathering Clouds," of his own composition, being especially worthy. Frank So-gatz is the all-round musician of the Club, for in the various numbers on the program, he played the piano, mandolin, guitor, cello and trombone.
The first number on the program, an overture entitled, "The University of Kansas Mandolin Club," was especially composed for the club by J. L. Newhouse and made a well deserved hit, "Hop Lee" is the music of a Chinese dance, from "The Tenderfoot," and the Trombone solo by Frank Sorgatz made a change in the variety of music generally furnished by a mandolin club.
This is the only public appearance the club will make in Lawrence, but it will make a ten days' trip through the northern part of the state during the Christmas holidays.
ALL STAR ELEVEN.
Kansds Has 5 on Missouri Valley Team.
In the line-up of the all-star eleven of the Missouri Valley selected by the Kansas City Journal this year, Kansas has five players, Nebraska three, Haskell two and Missouri one. The following is the Journal's line-up:
Left tackle—Donald, Kansas. Right tackle—Ackerman, Kansas.
Center-Michaelson, Kansas.
Left guard-Warren Haskell.
Right guard-Hunter, Nebraska.
Left end—Hicks, Kansas.
Right end—Benedict, Nebraska.
Quarterback—Pooler, Kansas.
Left half—Bender, Nebraska.
Right half—Archiquette. Haskell.
Full-back-Akerson, Missouri
5 Cents per copy
While the makeup of an allstar eleven is always a matter of some dispute, the above lineup shows the prominence of the University of Kansas in Missouri Valley athletics. The Kansas City Journal concedes to Kansas almost half of the all-star eleven. This is a worthy concession and one that Kansas is justly proud of.
DOUBT JAP REPORT
Russians Say Fleet Could Easily Secure Shelter.
St. Petersburg, Dec. 7-Although the war office and the admiralty are still without direct news from Port Arthur, confidence in the ability of the fortress to hold out continues to be expressed.
The reports from Tokio of the shelling of the battle ships and of heavy losses by the Russians in an ineffective attempt to recapture 203-Meeter hill are considered misleading. According to a high officer of the general staff, the warships would be able to seek shelter from the fire from 203-Meter hill by anchoring behind the Tiger's Tail peninsula. Reports that the Russians are clearing the mine fields outside the harbor are regarded as the best indication that the squadron is preparing to move out to this anchorage, where it will be secure under the protection of the shore batteries.
THE INGALLS UNVEILING.
Washington, Dec. 6-Speaker Cannon notified members of the Kansas delegation today that the committee on rule, in planning the legislative program in the house for this session, had found that it was desirable that the ceremonies incident to the acceptance by the government of the statute of the late Senator John J. Ingals, which the state of Kansas has placed in the Statuary hall at the capitol, be held before the adjournment of Congress for the holiday recess.
"VARSITY INTERESTED IN "EVERYMAN,"
WARNER DECLINED THE PLACE.
"Everyman," the morality play which is to be performed at the opera house this evening, is one of the oldest dramatic compositions in the English language. The author is unknown, but the first performance must have been somewhere about a hundred years before Shakespeare. The theme is that of a man, "Everyman," who, about to die, sees pass before him the various aspects of morality and human weakness. The symbolic figures carry on the dialogue This play is especially interesting to College people.
Washington, Dec., 7.—Major William Warner succeeded in thoroughly interesting both the Missouri and Kansas delegation to lay. He refused the office of pension commissioner which was tendered him by the president. This amazed the Kansans, who had been nursing the office and could not understand how anybody could decline a $5,000 office.

NEXT YEAR'S PROSPECTS.
Foot ball prospects for next year look very favorable at present. Of this year's squad, at least seven or eight will return next year. Captain Hicks is the only man who will not be eligible next year, as he has played four years, but probably Michaelson and Ackarman will not return, as they graduate this year However, one, or both of these star players may be back. If they can be induced to return Kansas will undoubtedly have one of the greatest teams in her history.
Hundreds of Students Turned Out.
FOOT BALL JOLLIFICATION A SUGGESS.
Monday night the annual foot ball jollification was held in Snow Hall when the "K's" were awarded and all sorrows of the season of 1904 were smothered in song and laughter with plenty of vell on the side.
The band met at the corner of Tennessee and Adams and the foot ball men met at the Phi Delt house. Here a line of march was formed and up the hill was the order. At Snow Hall Chancellor and Mrs. Strong, Messrs Innes and Mitchell and several faculty members with their wives formed the reception committee. Speeches were made and Mr. Mitchell and Innes spoke of the friendly feeling existing on the part of the merchants of Lawrence.
Captain Hicks and Ise also spoke.
When all is said and done Brunner deserves no little credit for his showing last Thursday. He went into the game crippled and stayed in until the end, playing good ball every minute and making great holes in the opponent's line at will. He was also good for an average of 8 yards when carrying the ball through the line.
The way that Donald and Ackarman hit the Missouri line promoted unlimited applause from even the Missouri cewd. These two players fairly tore up the line for from 3 to 20 yards at a time.
McCoy did the long running of the day Thanksgiving and played a spectacular game, He made the longest run of the day clearing Missouri's right end for 45 oards and would have gone over in another down had time not have been called.

There is a rumor afloat that Mr. Edgar Green, the plucky half back, went to Denver and got married. Mr. Green was not present for his "K" on Monday night. Here's luck to "Eddie."
One thing that would greatly improve the appearance of the Campus would be vitrified brick or macadamized drive-ways. The drive-way between the Spooner Library and the Museum of Natural History at present is a discredit to the University. The drive-way in front of Fraser Hall is also a poor one. If these drive ways were paved and curbed, as well as the others about the different buildings, a visitor driving over the grounds would be more impressed with the University.
The present gymnasium is a discredit to the people of Kansas and to the University. Everything is crowded into half the space it should occupy. Two men are given a locker about the size of a lunch basket. Their clothes are wrinkled and soiled. The men are forced to work in a small room which is so crowded that those who play basketball ball are often injured by falling over apparatus, or against the racks that are standing about the room. Men and women use the same gymnasiums, the women in the forenoon and the men in the afternoon. What we need is two large combination rooms with plenty of space for indoor games.
There is not as much interest taken in the track team as there should be at K. U. Only a small part of the men of the University ever go out and compete for a place on the track team. In the large colleges of the East it is regarded as great an honor to break a track record as it is to win a foot ball game. To train for a track meet takes as much time and effort as to train for a foot ball game and the track men should receive due honor.
Then more men shouldtry t or the places. The track offers opportunities to every man large or small, to gain honor for himself and his University but it offers special advantages to the small man who is excluded from the other sports on account of his size. Some of the best athletes that have ever been turned out of K.U. had very poor physiques when they first came, but by perseverance and
hard training they were able to develop into fine athletes.
The men who intend to try for the track, should not wait until Spring to begin training, but should commence at once by doing gymnasium work and by practicing the sprints on the running course west of the University. This year the long distance runners got much benefit from the cross country runs, and next year there is no reason why there should not be a full track meet some time during the Fall. Undoubtedly this would bring out much new material and would have a great influence on the result of the indoor track meet with Missouri, which is held too early each year to allow much time for out door training.
The first regular University lecture to be given to the class in Journalism will be delivered by B. B. Herbert of Chicago one of the prominent men of the National Editorial Association, some time during the month o December.

A student is not eligible to membership if he has a condition in any study, the rule being similar to that of the Athletic Association concerning scholarship. Many of the new members are deficient in Physical training and are thus ineligible for membership. A committee has been appointed with Professor Abbott as chairman to look up the matter of revising the rules.

Plan For Advertising Public Lectures.
W. E, SPALDING.
Public lectures, concerts, and several other entertainments at the University hereafter will be in the afternoon, unless for special reasons other arrangements are made, and will be advertised systematically as "Four-thirty Lectures." Such lectures will therefore be placed in charge of the particular departments most interested, for such arrangements regarding time and place of holding, special advertising, and entertainment of speakers as the department may think proper. There are now twelve department conferences which are open to the public, and others may be organized so that there will be two or more meetings of this kind every afternoon. The general committee on public lectures will have to see that information is given so that the interests of these meetings may conflict as little as possible. The regular meetings of these conference will be announced on the Calendar. By this means it is hoped to call the attention of the students to the fact that there will be something of special interest any afternoon they can be at the University.

TO YOUNG WOMEN.
A few reasons why every Uni versity young woman should become a member of the Young Women's Christian Association.
3. Opportunity is offered for service. However great may have been activity in the homchurch before coming to the University, not one student in ten who neglects all Christian work during her four years University course, ever takes it up again.
2. You have here the stragetic opportunity of serving Christ and the cause of Christ by helping to win for Christ and the church the most influential class of people-college students
1. The association is the only distinctively Christian organization of the University for young women and therefore should have the support of every Christian student and of all who respect Christianity.
4. The Association offers excellent Bible study and Mission study courses, without which knowledge, people are coming more and more to realize that one cannot have a broad education.
5. You need the spiritual inspiration that comes from fellowship in Christian life just as you need intellectual inspiration from fellowship in the class room.
6. In identifying yourself with the association you are becoming a part of a world-wide student movement which is claiming the allegiance and service of the

strongest students in the world. 7. Students are, of all people, most apt to become selfish. The four years of "getting" should be counterbalanced by sufficient giving to keep the life normal.
8. You can thus show your sympathy with the practical work of the association, such as giving help and information to new students, caring for those who are ill or in need, finding employment for those who desire it.
9. The weekly meetings and the daily noon meetings are worthy of your interest. Great effort is put forth to make them so interesting and helpful that no student who attends will feel that her time has been wasted or missed.
10. The budget of the Association is $720.00. The principal sources of support are faculty, students and alumnae. It is a heavy burden for a few but light if shoved by many; too often the financial problems are met by those who can least afford to give.
11. The association is the only strictly democratic organization for young women, of the University. Everyone needs, sometimes, to come in touch with those outside her own little circle of friends. One object of the Association is to bring together young women of all classes, sorroroties and societies on a common basis of Christian fellowship and service.
12. Even if you feel that you cannot take a very active part in the work yourself, as a member you may be instrumental in bringing in some one else whose influence can be very widely felt
13. A group of young women and among them the busiest students are volunteering their services to make this work a success. They need your co-operation.
14. Loyalty to your University demands it Throughout this state, as other states, misinformed people regard State Universities as the center of atheism and infidelity. The Association has the opportunity of making in large part, the reputation as well as the character of the University life, above reproach.
15. The Association should stand for the highest standard of scholarship and social life, as well as spiritual attonement and it depends upon you to make it an organization which demands the respect of every student and every member of the faculty.
Does some one of these reasons appeal to you? Will you carefully consider the responsibility you have in this matter in view of your connection with the University, taking into account your candid estimation of the value of the Y. W. C. A. to the University and to you as a part of it?

A PEGULIAR FIND.
Tokio, Dec. 10-Now that the Russian fleet has been destroyed, the Japanese artillery is turning part of its fire on the city and the remaining fortifications. The terrific battering at the harbor has abated somewhat and an attempt is making to find the weak spots in the walls and trenches which Gen. Stoessel has constructed to retire to as a last resort.
The Japanese established infantry trenches recently inside the parapets of the two Rhlung and the Vorth Kekwan forts, but were compelled later to retire beyond the moats. Since then there has been practically no fighting done along the ineline of the eastern ridge of forts, but infantry is being concentrated there.
New York, Dec. 10.-A fortune of $240,000, growing out of the recent great boom in Bronx real estate, has just come into a woman's hands through an investigation in which she took no interest and of which she was unaware. Through the sale of the Becker estate tract it became known that Mrs. Becker, wife of a dealer in furs, owned one-fifth interest in the property. It was believed that five institutions each owned one-fifth interest in the property and it was agreed that the tract should be sold. The transaction was delayed and resulted in the discovery that Mrs. Becker, whose father years ago held a one-fifth interest in the property, had a deed drawn transferring that to his wife.

ENGINEERS' BANQUET.
Fifth) Annual Event—Good Attendance. Good Speeches, Good Menu.
The Fifth Annual Engineers Banquet was held Friday night at the New Eldridge House. Every one connected with it in any way concedes it to have been the most successful one that has been given, in both the number in attendance and the results that will come from it. Over one hundred and thirty members were present and they taxed to the utmost the capacity of the hall. If next year's attendance increases to any extent a larger hall will have to be obtained.
The striking feature of the evening was the strong traternal feeling that existed and the desire expressed by almost every speaker for a new building to be known expressly as the Engineers' building.
Early in the evening singing was started in the parlors and, except when there was speaking,
EVERYMAN TO RETURN.
University Dramatic Club to Bring It.
Those who missed seeing the really capable production of "Everyman" here last Thursday night will be interested to know that the Dramatic Club yesterday completed arrangements for a return date to be played here next Wednesday.
This quaint old play was revived three years ago by the Elizabethan Society at Oxford, England, and proving an immediate success, was presented in London by a cast of professionals, Edith Wynne Matthison playing the title role. After a long run there, Charles Frohman brought the complete production to this country, where it has scored as complete a triumph as it did in England- The company is now headed by Richard E. Magnus, who, by his excellent delineation of the title role, is winning an envii
The KANSAN will have a special edition next Saturday that if all goes as now planned will be one of the best that has been issued by any K. U. paper for a long time. There will be half tones of the foot ball men, coach and some of the faculty engravings and prints that will make it a nice souvnir edition. All pen drawings and other material must be in not later than Tuesday night.
A special effort is being made to secure enough advertising to pay at least for a large part of the paper and students will find many holiday bargains offered.

Chancellor Strong said there were four points that he wished to make: first, that there are at present three hundred and twenty-five students in this department, and that he expects there will be twice as many in the near future; second, he wished this department to be of a more permanent nature than it is at present, for no student can afford to take but part of a course; third, he wished for not only technically educated men of the highest excellence, but also men of influence; fourth, he wished to see an idealism established.
Dean F. O. Marvin noted the marked change that takes place in a student during the four years and said that the one who has the most grit gets the best results, and that there is a place in the world for him.
able degree of fame for himself and the play on the occasion of its first tour through this western territory.
The Dramatic Club, which has done so much for the cause of the drama here, deserves a great amount of credit for its enterprise in bringing the company back for a return date and a large audience should be present. Admission twenty-five and fifty cents.
HARE AND HOUND RACE.
The hare nd bound chase last Saturday morning was one of the most interesting and best attended cross country events that have occurred this fall
At ten o'clock Roberts and McReynolds, who had gone over the ground Friday with Dr. Naismith and mapped out their course, left Snow Hall and six minutes later the "hounds,' thirteen in number, were started.
The course extended northwest for about three miles and then swerved south, ending about two miles west of the shops, where the bag was found. The hounds then started for Snow Hall finishing the course of about seven miles in one hour, twenty-nine minutes. All finished in good condition, notwithstanding it was the first chase for some of the participants.
ENGINEERS ELECT.
Baldwin Chosen President After Hard Fight.
The annual engineers election was held Thursday at noon in chapel and Clode Baldwin was elected president, and Singleton, secretary and treasurer. There was considerable political fighting, but it was confined exclusively to engineers. Out of 325 members of that department only 185 were present to vote. Baldwin and Singleton were on one ticket, and Strickler, Dove and Frank Guy composed the other. A "dark horse" ticket was launched immediately before the election with Benson for president. Baldwin's majority was five votes and Singleton's one. Dove, who was put up by the Strickler supporters was also put up by the Baldwin crowd but withdrew from that ticket. However his election was unanimous.
PROF. GARRUTH ON KANSAS POETRY
Tells of Some of the Leading Jayhawker Poets and Gives Some Modern Examples.
Prof. W. H. Carruth of the German department of the University spoke in chapel Friday on "Kansas Poetry." He said that the subject could be treated in two aspects, one a discussion of the poetry written by Kansas poets and the other a discussion of the cultivation of poetry in Kansas.
He mentioned as the best Kansas poets, Richard Realf, who wrote a few of his poems during his residence in Kansas in the year 1856; John J. Ingalls, whose best poem is "Opportunity;" James W. Steele, editor of the Kansas Magazine; Eugene Ware, who wrote under the nom de plume of Ironquill, William Allen White, who at the beginning of his literary career published a book of poems, together with Albert Bigelow Paine, entitled "Poems by Two Friends;" and Mrs. Ellen Allerton, whose best known poem is "Walls of Corn."
Prof. Carruth said the practice of writing verses, rymes, and the study of the construction of poetry, would increase one's appreciation of poetry. In conclusion he read three little examples of verse written by men who would never be thought guilty of doing such things.
Sigma Nu entertained its friends Friday night with a dancing party at Pythian hall. Newhouse's orchestra furnished the music, and everyone present enjoyed the Sigma Nu's hospitality to the utmost.
The Orea is have issued invitations for their next party at Pythian hall Friday night.

Chancellor Frank Strong was recently elected a director of the Kansas State Historical Association.
It is taken for granted that Jesse A. Hoel, the Kansas University student who won a place in the national oratorical contest, was well drilled.-Kansas City Star
There is lately a decided increase in the membership in the Young Women's Christian Association and the number of sorority girls joining is surpassing all previous records. In one sorority there are reported only two members who are not members of the Association. This is not only commendable, and a display of the true spirit of the girls but is evidence of the undeniable good that can be obtained in the University Christian Associations.
The KANSAN extends the congratulations of the student body to Captain Hicks and the team of 1904. The record made by the Kansas eleven this season just closed is one to be proud of. Not only does the student body rejoice because of the victories but because of the manner in which they were won. The work of the Jayhawker aggregation of 1904 has been a revelation from the start and proves that honesty is best policy and that amateur football is the winning kind after all. At times support dragged but the KANSAN was behind the team from the word "go"and only regretted theseeming lack of interest at times on the part of the student body and above all the faculty. The band was a great help throughout the season and while one criticism appeared regarding the action of the band men at the same time we are all for the band. Too much credit cannot be given Coach Kennedy and Captain Hicks. Both names will live in the University for many, many years. Both mer have been faithful and honest at all times and the season's result tells the story that makes us all rejoice when we thing what is to come next year.
Inter-fraternity debates are for the best interests of the University. It is unnecessary to go to unreasonable extremes, neglect studies and sacrifice money and health. It is unwise and foolish to think of going to Chicago to train and of spending too much time to the detriment of other interests and studies. It should be followed out merely to the extent where the individual, the University and fraternity are best benefited.
Let these debates be under the supervision of a faculty student committee or let the work be of such a class that credit will be given. Raise it to that standard. Debating and literary work done under an instructor for the interests of the University is every bit as good and as practical as class work, therefore just credit is deserve1. It is a means of obtaining material and interesting more of the students in the debates.

It probably contains some of the rare metals and Mr. McFarland is trying to obtain these.
FRESHMEN WAKE UP.
The class of '08 seems to be the weakest class, as a body that the University has ever accepted. It was defeated in the flag fight because so many of the Freshmen preferred to stay in bed rather than get out in the cold and fight for their class. They seldom have class meetings to discuss class politics; instead a certain few decided the destiny of the members and the class is expected to be led blindly wherever these said few choose they shall go. This of course disorganizes the class. The common member has no part in the class affairs. The outsiders, that is, those not in the "royal circle," had nothing to do with the Freshman party. It was decided upon, date set and all arrangements made by one man and his tribe; and yet we wonder why there is so little class spirit. A man is not going to support some one else's class. Make the class belong to each and every Freshman; let one man be as good as the other and we shall have class spirit to waste.-A FRESHMAN.

UNIVERSITY GIRLS TAKE NOTICE.
Paris, Dec. 10—Chatelaines are very much in vogue at present, but they no longer dangle from the belt. The newest chain is heavy, with a safety pin on one end and a heavy bar on the other: to this are suspended the finger chains to which the trinkets are attached. The pin is fastened to the sleeve and the chain is then moved round miladie's wrist so that she always has hold of her treasurers. Still another fashion is to pin the chain into a bracelet.
THE LAW PARTY.
Continued from page 1.
by about 100 couples. Dr. Burdick and Mr. Woods were among the faculty members and there were several out of town alumni present. After the grand march there was a rush for the filling of the programs, and the way those laws moved about, with plenty of good football men on all sides, was a great pleasure to the spectators. There were twenty dances and sometimes as many as four encores. Yale Boola, Under Southern Skies, Il Trovatore and some good college compositions made up a part of the program and encores. The programs were tastefully gotten up in purple and white with Captain Hick's picture in the front of each and the names of the players around the edges. The programs were tied with crimson and blue ribbon.
The hall decorations were clever, and a goal with a large "L. L.B." wrapped in Kansas colors, and a football suspended with fine wire, promoted admiration.
The law party was a success in every detail, and the committee having the matter in charge is especially deserving of credit. As entertainers the law students are proving themselves superior to the other departments of the University, and the annual "scrimmage" is winning a reputation both at home and over the state that the Laws can be justly proud of.

THE KANSAN.
OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
VOL. I. NO.25.
Foot ball men are not, as a rule on the honor roll in student work, but neither is the prevalent idea a true one, "That is that they are lowest in their class work." It cannot be expected that men who indulge in the hardest physical exertion three hours a day study at night with as clear a brain as it otherwise might be.
STUDENT STANDING FOOTBALL MEN.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, DECEMBER 15, 1904.
Kansas has had less trouble this year with his class work of its football squad than for several years past. Only three from the entire squad have been reported as doing unsatisfactory work. The grades of the football squad as near as they can be reckoned from the scanty data at hand will average nearly a two Strickler, McCarty, Ise, Ackerman, Michaelson and Royer have the highest grades of any of the regular first squad. The grades of these men will average about a one nimut.
Interesting material in this connection is the records of old football men of the Uniwerslity Of late yeers the records of John Algie '01 and W. D. Vincent of the same year are best. C. H. Avery of '97 was an exceptional student as well as a phenomenal football player. His grades the last two years of his college course consist entirely of ones. He was enrolled in the engineering school two, which is the hardest course for football men. Antonio Buzzi of '96 was also a football man that was a star in his class work. Archie Hoag of '92, one of the best fullbacks Kansas ever had, at present a member of the faculty has a student record far above the average.
Plucky Little Star Deserves the Honor.
POOLER CAPTAIN FOR 1905.
Monday Arthur Pooler was elected captain of the 1905 football team to succeed Captain Albert Hicks who has so faithfully led the Kansas team of 1904 to victory many times.
This scattered data shows that the members of the football team are at present and always have been not below the average in student ability but rather above.
Pooler was born near Beloit and raised in that vicinity. He was not born a prince, but born to become a great football player, and his destiny is working out wonderfully well. He played four years on the High school team at Beloit, and after graduation from that school, entered the University. He has been here three years and has been a member of the first squad since his first week in the 'Varsity. He stands five feet six inches and weighs only 156 pounds. His grit and unassuming manner

KANSAS CITY INDOOR MEET.
Kansas to Meet Missouri About March 17—Tigers Won Last Year and Their is More Interest Now.
The annual indoor track meet in the Kansas City Convention hall with the University of Missouri will be held about March 17, and arrangements are already under way in preparation for a grand mid winter athletic contest that will surpass any ever held in the Central West. Last year was the first contest af its kind ever held in this section of the United States but was as successful as a Thanksgiving game and there was more interest at times than has been shown at the annual turkey day contest for years.
The Kansas City athletic club and the Y. M. C. A., of that city will probably enter.
In addition to the old track men of last year's fame such as Bailey, Driscol, Butler, Morrow, Ackarman, and Finch, there will be several new ones this year, and Chester Cooke will enter the 50 yard dash.
THE PHARMIC PARTY.
One of the most successful parties ever given by the Pharmics was held in Pythian hall last Monday night. There were nearly fifty couples on the floor, all of whom thoroughly enjoyed the program rendered by Somners orchestra. The program contained twenty numbers and there were three or four encores to every one. The programs were very artistically gotten up, having an impression of a cluster of American Beauties on the cover.
Mr. and Mrs. A. Henley entertained the Sigma Chi fraternity with a banquet last Saturday evening at their home in West Lawrence. Besides the present active chapter of the fraternity there were present the most of the town alumni and several out of town alumni; among the out of town guests were, Frank Thompson, Chicago; Ray' Clifford and Ralph Morrison, Kansas City; Arthur Bradley, Fort Worth, Texas, and Walter Sutton of New York.
SIGMA CHIS BANQUETTED.
PROF. HAWORTH'S GEOLOGICAL REPORT.
Professor E. Haworths' annual geological report for Kansas will probably be out earlier this year than before. Dr. Haworth has been about the busiest man in town trying to get all copy off to the state printer. The printer now has it all and the proof sheets are expected in a few days. The report this year will not differ very materially from preceding reports and will contain much oil and gas reading matter and statistics.
ANOTHER ART EXHIBIT.
Only American Artists Will be Represented This Year.
The second annual art exhibition of the University will begin December 26 and last one month. The collection of pictures this year will consist entirely of the work of American artists. There will be about fifty paintings, 250 original book plates and a valuable collection of brass rubbings. Last year the Carnegie exhibit here was an unusual success and did much to stimulate interest in art, not only in Lawrence and surrounding towns, but in many sections of the state. Clubs and societies visited last year's exhibit in crowds and it is believed that this year's display will be a much greater attraction. It is under the direction of the fine arts department of the University and is in charge of Prof. W. A. Griffith.
The exhibit this year will differ considerably from last season's and the chief distinction is that only American work will be displayed. Last year the paintings were nearly all the work of foreign artists. Of this year's collection, twenty-four of the pictures received prizes in the St. Louis World's fair and will be brought to Lawrence from St. Louis. Sixteen of the paintings have received the Shaw fund prize, one the Webb prize and one the Evans prize. In addition to these, four are from the Chicago Art Institute and many others will be gathered from American studios.
Some of the finest and most valued pictures that will be exhibited are:
Night and Waning Day,
George R. Barse, Summer, Frank
W. Benson; A Connecticut Hilton,
Emil Carlesn; A. Friendly

THE LAWS IN DEBT.
The creditable reception and party given by the members of the Law School for the foot ball team last Friday night proved more costly than was expected and the laws are now in debt about twelve dollars. At a meeting of the law school Tuesday it was decided to give another party and endeavor to make enough to pay the old bills. It will be given in Pythi an hall and probably the last of January.

SENATOR F. D, SMITH SPEAKS,
Senator F. Dumont Smith spoke in chapel Tuesday morning. He said "we do not know how to value youth when we have it. Life is a bargain; everything we receive in life, we pay for." Mr Smith said that the best judgement should be exercised in bargaining for things in this life. He gave it example John D. Rockefeller with his immense wealth but without taste for art, music, literature or even of good meal and said if it was possible he would gladly exchange his wealth for the better things in life that he once enjoyed
THEY WANT CHAPERONS.
SORORITY GIRLS PASS UP SUNDAY DINNERS.
At a meeting of sorority girls held a few days ago, it was decided to decline all invitations to social affairs at fraternity houses hereafter unless chaperons are present The girls claim they will also refuse to attend dances when classes will be in session the next day. The rules are thought to have been run through by a few disaffected girls who never are asked out, and who took this unique method of revenging themselves upon their more popular sisters. Neither rule was adopted by a unanimous vote, and a number of girls have accepted invitations to dinners where they know that chaperons will not be present. It will be interesting to watch the effect of this newfangled scheme to infuse a little Eastern formality into social circles here. It has been the custom here for many years for the boys to ask girls in crowds of eight or ten to Sunday dinner.
One of the best known fraternity men said yesterday:— "I don't think the rule will be in force long. It's only one of those sporadic attempts to drag into life here a little of that Eastern 'culchah' that you hear about, and the effort will die a natural death. It's probably the pet of scheme of some girl who has a friend that spent a year at Smith or Vassar, and who thinks it would be very nice to carry out (continued on page 4.)

A ball won't roll down hill unless some good fellows make the move The modesty of the band men prevent them from taking the initiative There is no excuse for not having uniforms. One concert well attended would pay for all of the uniforms needed.
When you go home Christmas don't forget to tell every high school senior you meet that the university is the only place in the state for him to go to school, her too.
An editor of the KANSAN holds office for two terms or one year. About the time that he gets things to working smoothly, and finds his most competent helpers his term ends and then another has to grind part of his life away writing copy and worrying his hair gray.
Why not buy band uniforms? Nearly every college and university in this section of the country that has a band has uniforms to help the brass instrument men. Baker University of Baldwin is giving a series of oyster suppers for the purpose of buying band uniforms. Why wouldn't it be a good idea to give a combination concert, the Band, the Orchestra, the Mandolin and Glee clubs, on the last day of this term and use the proceeds for buying band uniforms?
The action of certain sororities regarding Sunday dinners at fraternity houses appears almost ridiculous when viewed from the ordinary standpoint. It seems that eastern customs and forms are wanted by some of the "vogueish" more than anything else. They seem to be more after form than what would appear to be good, honest, honorable pleasure. There are not three independent girls in Lawrence that would be afraid to trust themselves together in any fraternity house on Sunday. The sorority girls seem a little inclined to be fearful lest certain extreme southern and eastern customs will not prevail here.
While it would probably be a wise rule for an editor on the KANSAN to hold office one year there would probably be one man in ten that would do it. It is certain too that he would be dead broke and working for glory or would be such an experienced hand at the business that running a university paper would probably be an easy job for him. It takes on an average of three hours a day.
The election of Arthur Pooler for captain of the 1905 team is the best choice that could have been made. No better man could be found for the place nor one more deserving. Pooler has been of the most faithful, always going to his work with a will, and never making a complaint nor trying to display his knowledge of the game in preference to the coach's knowledge. In his three years in Lawrence the Beloit boy has won many friends and his friends in the University are especially numerous. With Pooler as the leader of the 1905 eleven Kansas should have an ever victorious aggregation. It is for every student and faculty member to support Pooler and Pooler's men.

THE REGULAR 75c GYMNASIUM SHOE FOR 50c
With the football season at an end, athletes in the University turn their thoughts toward basketball as the next sport to engage their attention. The prospects for the game this year are very bright, but the team deserves more support than it has received from the student body in the past. Basket ball is a game with as much science in it as there is in football, and ignorance of the fine points of the game is all that keeps the student body from showing a lively interest in the sport. One never enjoys his first game of football, and the same is true of the game under discussion. It is to be hoped that this year the game here will be better supported than it has in the past.
Reports come from several western colleges of brutal hazings in which injuries of a very serious nature were inflicted on Freshman. In one case a Freshman was said to have been strip ped, painted and thrown into a river, from which he was dragged nearly dead. The offenders were punished severely, but that didn't help the injured one. Hazing in the East is no longer the fashion. The time was when the Sophmore felt his duty had not been done to the Freshman if he did not show him his inferiority in some way, and sometimes the ways were not mild. But that time has passed. At Yale this year at the opening of college there was practically no hazing of any sort. For the last few years even the mildest forms, such as verandah and billiard table oratory, has been declining. After the wrestling on the Campus, the Freshmen lived up to tradition by rushing up and down York street in front of Pierson Hall a few times, but the Sophomores were hardly more than interested spectators —Yale Alumni Weeckly.

PEERLESS GARMENT HANGERS for MEN and WOMEN THE ONLY PRACTICAL SUIT
THIS
An interesting demonstration of Peerless Garment Hangers is on at Innes, Bullene & Halclman's, in Suit Room, making many converts to the wonderful little space saver of the day. The hangers are attached to a closet door, a half dozen suits hanging perfectly in the space usually allotted to a single garment. By an automatic device skirts are held by their own weight, each garment independent of the other, the jacket removed without interfering with the skirt, and vice versa.
The hangers have no springs to mar the tailored shape of a garment, those designed for men's clothes padded with felt to prevent defacing of fabric. The complete set of six hangers, with the necessary attachments, neatly packed in a dainty box, makes a gift of inestimable value at a cost of $2.00.

A LARGER CAMPUS—51 ACRES PUR- CHASED
The regents of the University have purchased fifty-one acres of land near the University, known as the Robinson tract. It adjoins the present campus on the west and is a level piece of ground that will add much to the general appearance of the campus. The citizens of Lawrence advanced the first payment on the land in anticipation of favorable action on the part of the next legislature, which it is hoped will make an appropriation sufficiently large to cover the cost of the ground.

A NO CHAPERON SHOCK.
The electric light linemen appeared on the hill at the top of Adams street Tuesday morning without a chaperon and proceeded to blask some poor feelings when they were replacing an electric light pole. The result was awful. Girls all over the hill, especially sosority girls, were dreadfully shocked and one is quoted as saying that she won't return to school unless the faculty furnishes chaperons. The faculty will probably recommend that the linemen hereafter dig through the rock with a pen knife.

have won him innumerable friends here,
Since his initial game on the Kansas eleven, Pooler has been considered the best quarter back Kansas has had for three years, and his playing has not only been sensational at times, but has been almost remarkable. Especially in backing up the line and in head work is the next year's captain an unusual man. He is always conservative and never loses self control nor confidence.
Pooler will make a good captain and with proper support will doubtless have an ever victorious team.
He merits the honor that has come to him and should have the support of every student and faculty member in the entire University.

STATEHOOD BILL.
Washington, Dec. 14.—Friends of statehood legislation in Congress and out of it have urged members of the Senate committee on territories to make afew changes as possible in the provisions of the Hamilton bill and the action of the committee to date indicates that the bill will come before Senate practically as it passed the House.
I, for one, am not worrying about whom I shall invite to dinners and mid-week dances. There are enough independent girls here we can ask, and if the supply becomes exhausted, we can send home and ship in a few of our old friends. Why, we could run in a little 'Eastern custom' on 'em ourselves. Farther East, sorority girls are as scarce as at the big dances as hen's teeth, and at Detroit they sometimes attach extra cars to the Ann Arbor trains to accommodate the girls going down to the big parties. There's no use bothering about it. though, the girls will have forgotton all about the rule inside of two weeks."

OUR ALUMNI PRESIDENT---FRANK P. MacGLENNAN.
Editor of the Topeka State Journal and a Graduate of 1875.
Mr. Frank P. MacClellman, president of the University of Kansas Alumni association is probably the most successful newspaper man in the state today and his success is due all to the work of one man and every student and alumni is proud to have this one man at the head of the mass of graduates of this institution.
Since 1885 the Topeka State Journal has steadily increased in every department and it now the largest and most expensive daily newspaper published in Kansas, being composed of ten or more pages every day. The Journal is also the largest money maker of any daily in the state. It is strictly an independent paper and its great success is due entirely to Mr. MacClennan's excellent management. At all times of the day the editor can be found around the office either in the editorial rooms, the press rooms or the composing rooms. He is universally loved by every one of his many employees and he has some that have been on the Journal for many years and who have
He is a son of Kenneth and Adelia MacClennan and was born at Springfield, Ohio, March 1, 1855. Among those who received the degree of Bachelor of Science, from the University of Kansas, in 1875 was Frank Pitts MacCleanan. During his career as a student nere the present editor of Topeka's prominent paper worked at several trades and in the summers would go to the harvest fields of Western Kansas and work by the day in securing money to complete his education. After his education here Mr. MacClennan was connected with the Emporia Daily News for several years and was a practical printer. His parents residing in Emporia; he acquired proprietary interests in the Emporia Daily News in 1880 and under his management the Emporia paper flourished until 1885 when Mr. MacClennan bought the Topeka State Journal at auction. He is now editor and proprietor and sole owner of that newspaper.
been offered positions on much larger papers, all of which goes to show the friendship that develops between this man of rare qualifications and his working force.
There is probably not an alumni of the University that does not know the man who manages the large daily also manages the greatest number of alumni from any institution in Kansas.
sands of miles. He presides at all meetings of the alumni association, calls all meetings and is toastmaster at the annual alumni banquet which is one of the most elaborate social events in the entire university calendar.
M. MacClennan was elected at the annual meeting of the Alumni Association last June and there are more than 2500 alumni of the University of Kansas. There are also more than 10,000 people scattered all over the United States that have attended the University and a large majority of these feel as if they were alumni though they are not possessors of the coveted diploma.
In Mr. MacCleennan the University of Kansas has a man who is a man in every sense of the word. He has waged war against fraud and endeavored to ferret out improper usages of funds when all others dropped by the way. He has helped many a poor but ambitious boy through school and is still doing it, He

A BATTLE SONG FOR OLD K, U.
O Mother Kansas, for thy glory Thy sons are girding for the fray.
They will tell the victor's story Eve the closing of the day.
The thy foemen's jeers are ringing And their hoarse throats mock thy fame.
To the conflict we go, singing Praises to thy glorious name.
Chorns:
Hold them Kansas! hold them!
hold them!
Thunders forth its b,ttle peal.
Stand with ranks as firm as steel While the thousand throated Rock Clalk
Thunders forth its battle peal.
O see the foemen's charge is sweeping
There'll be weeping, bitter weeping For the Queen upon the Hill. Shall the hordes heat, buck her
Through our shattered ranks at will
For the Quiz app, go to HI!
Shall the hordes beat back her
riots?
Shall they fail to do and dare Till the vandal hands of victors? Tear the garlands from her hair!
Now the Kansans reassemble
See the fire that lights his eye
Trouble all go former team!
Kansas means to do or die See the tide of battle turning How thy champions strive for thee With what god-like zeal they're burning
Now they grasp the victory!
O Mother Kansas, still thy glory
Goes abroad through all the land
We shall crown thee still with glory Long as runs life's golden sand
And thy lovers to thee clinging While the dial is pointing Stel Will be clinging to thee
songing, praises singing To the Queen upon the Hill.

ABOUT COUNTY GLUBS.
Twenty now existing and more being daily organized.
The county club organizations which are comparatively new to University life, promise to become the most direct and effective means of making Kansas people acquainted with the University, its work and its needs. Chancellor Strong encouraged the movement last year, and a number of county delegations organized clubs and gave receptions or banquets in the holidays. The blanks filled by the freshmen this year indicate that a considerable interest was taken in these entertainments, and in view of this fact, the majority of the counties are organizing clubs this year. The following counties are among those who have organized thus far: Johnson, Montgomery, Cherokee, Crawford, Labette, Bourbon, Saline, Sumner, Clay, Jefferson, Allen, Osage, Washington, Wyandotte, Elk, Sedgewick, Marshall, Brown, Cowley, and Lyon.
Many other counties will organize within the next few weeks. Nearly all of them will give receptions or banquets this year. Some of them have football teams and will play past season games in their home counties. Arrangements have been made in several cases to have some member of the faculty address the club meetings
The second Senior class party was given Saturday evening, December 3 in Pythian Hall. A large crowd enjoyed dancing, many under classmen as well as Seniors being present. Sandwiches and coffee were served and Sommers' orchestra furnished the music.
THE 1905 TRACK TEAM.
This is Another Sport in which Kansas Has most Excellent Prospects.
The present outlook for a winning track team in the coming season is brighter than it has been for a number of years. The freshmen class has many strong men in nearly every event of the track. The last year's men who are back, are Will Bailey, captain of the team, Finch, Driscoll, Morris, Butler, Ackerman and McCoy. Freshmen who made good records in the trial contest at the beginning of the term are, Commons of Lawrence High School, McCrath and Foster of Carbondale High School, W. W. and M. B. Miller and Davis of Osage City High School, Gordon Livingston of Ft. Scott, Lapham of Chanute and Myers, who worked on the Chicago University squad last year. Other promising Freshmen who are good, all round men, are Young, Hunter and Coleman. The weakest point in the squad is among the weightemen; but Dr. Naismith hopes that with the acquisition of Davies, one of the strongest men on the State Normal team last season, and with Donald, Michaelson and Fischer, in the contests, that this event will become one of the Kansan's strong point.
In the past, but few strong teams have competed with Kansas and the strongest of these, Missouri, is usually victorious. Where they win their largest number of points is in the longer runs, and though Kausas has had good men they are usually defeated. This year Miller, Commons and McCoy, of the new men, are expected to retrieve many defeats of the past. The places for the long distance run

have no applicants yet,but country runs have doubtless developed men who will report for the long runs when the weather opens for practice. Kansas has nearly always been successful in the pole vault, high jump and hurdles, and this year will be no exception. McGrath. Russel and Livingston are now making over five feet in the high jump. Last year's ever victorious team of hurdlers, Butler and Morron, are still here, and for the pole vault Wall, Foster, Hulbert and Low, who can make records of nine feet without practice, will work hard for places. The applicants for pole vault will be put on the horizontal bar, and under Dr. Nansmith's direction, will soon begin practice for proper vaulting. With all these strong men there is apparently no reason why Kansas University should suffer a single defeat in 1905.

A Talk With the Chancellor.
"In talking with a representative of the KANSAN yesterday, Chancellor Strong spoke of the standing of the University of Kansas as follows :
"In this special edition of the KANSAN I wish again to call the attention of the students to some matters of great importance to the University at this particular time. The University of course does not want any undignified solicitation of members of the Legislature for assistance, but it daes wish that the students, graduates and friends of the University shall seek to make the members of the coming Legislature understand thoroughly what are the real needs of a large and complex university. It is very difficult to one who has not himself been a part of a large university, or has not seen it with his own eyes, an adequate idea of how very complex such an institution is and how numerous are its interests. If we could bring every citizen of the state of Kansas to Lawrence and show him the University, we would have very little difficulty in getting an income and an adequate to over necessities.
In the first place, the appropriation for the general maintenance recommended by the State Auditor, is a minimum amount and is absolutely necessary for the continued growth of the institution. The University has fallen behind other institutions in income and equipment so largely and for so many years that it will take a superhuman effort to any where near catch up. We were once on even terms with such institutions as the Universities of Minnesota, Missouri and Nebraska. However, I am afraid they have now irrevocably passed us in the matter of income and equipment. What the University is asking of the next Legislature both as to income and buildings, will still leave us far behind the institutions mentioned, and will put it somewhere near the end of the second class of institutions according to income, or well toward the third class. Our present situation is therefore an intolerable one and we do not believe for a moment that the people of Kansas will be satisfied to have things remain as they are. The Chancellor of the University travels widely in the state and meets a large number of representative men, and he feels sure from experience that the people of Kansas are not caring whether the total appropriatons are larger or smaller than they were two years ago, but that they are caring whether or not the institutions that bear the name of the State receive adequate support and whether the money is spent for legitimate and necessary purposes.
With regard to buildings we are in fully as deplorable a condition as in regard to income. The fact is that the University of Kansas never has cost the state of Kansas anything like what other such institutions have cost the states in which they are located. For that reason the state has got into the habit of fixing upon
small things for the University of Kansas. The present value of private gifts to the University aggregates all out $400,000. It would be difficult to find a like state of affairs in the case of any other state university in the country. The University of Kansas has a total of twelve buildings including the one now in course of erection. Missouri has twenty-six, Arizona has seventeen, Minnesota has thirty, Arkansas has seven, North Carolina has sixteen, Michigan, twenty-three, Ohio has eighteen for instruction alone, Nebraska has twenty-two, Iowa twenty, Georgia sixteen, and Utah eight. Of our twelve buildings, one is the original building and is situated too far from the present site of the University to be used for general purposes such as recitations etc. It is now used by the music school and is so old and in such poor condition that it is always
a question whether it is worth while to place any money on it for repairs Another is the building containing the heating plant, which cannot be used for any instructional purpose whatever. Another is the University residence which was a gift to the University by a relative of Dr. F. F. H. Snow's and which is to be used as a residence by Dr. Snow during his lifetime. It, also, is not available for general University purposes. Another is the new Museum building, in which there are no recitation rooms and which, generally speaking, is not available for instructional purposes. It is a museum building pure and simple, built to hold the very valuable collections of the University. Another is the old Chemical Hall, now used for the courses in medicine,—a very small and cheap building that ought to be erased from the campus. It will be noticed that this makes

UNIVERSITY NEEDS.
Oh honored sirs who have to do With making state laws,—give us heed,

five buildings out of the twelve that are either not available for general university instructional purposes, or else are not in any way such buildings as a modern university requires. At the very best the number of buildings available for instruction is eight. It should be remembered, too, that four of these twelve buildings, were gifts to the University and did not cost the state a dollar.
In fact, we can't do ...
We've worked with almost nothing
Come and see—and then you'll not doubt it.
We want a building for engineers, but it must be designed without it.
I hope you'll agree-it won't do! We want a building for engineers.
We want to finish our present balls They are in a deplorable state:
For, as they stand, they're merely walls.—

We want more land, we've crowded been.

We use much money, we know
We're worth it,--wouldn't you say?
We want a "permanent student body."
But if you see that our needs are secured,
We'll attend to our worthy Chancellor's hobby
The students will then stay—be assured.

Prof E. F. Engle entertained the members of the Rice County Club at his home on Kentucky street last Monday night, Refreshments were served and the social evening was very pleasantly spent.
It will be seen that the University is in a desperate condition as to buildings for general classroom and laboratory purposes and if the condition is desperate now it is easy to see what it would be by the end of the next biennium with three or four hundred more students to care for than we have during the present year. It is therefore not a matter of convenience or desirability, but a matter of absolute necessity that the University have the two buildings that are asked for—the gymnasium and the engineering building, and that they be as large and as well equipped as the future of the University demands. We are not going to ask for a dollar more than is really necessary to get the kind of buildings and equipment adequate to the real needs of the institute and to provide for the immediate future of the University."
NEW RULES.
How the Chicago Conference Affects Kansas.
The annual conference of western Universities, held at Chicago during the past week, adopted several new rules which will do much to eliminate professionalism in football in schools under the Conference. Henceforth, a man must be in school a term before he can take part in University athletics. This will almost entirely do away with the large number of men who enter Universities every year for the sole purpose of playing football, and who leave at the close of the football season. The rule has been in force in the east for several years,and has been found to be beneficial there. It will be, however, a harsh rule for many of the western Colleges, as the student body is less staple here than in the east, and the Freshman class usually furnishes a large proportion of the football squad. The rule will also affect the small denominational schools more than the Universities as the student body is less permanent and the players on the football team are usually term men, Kansas University will be as well, if not better, off than a majority of the western universities next year, as a large number of this year's veterans will return next year.
The Conference also made a ruling with regard to the Haskell and Carlisle Indian schools, recognizing them as colleges, thus placing them under the Conference rules. By this ruling, Haskell loses seven of her star players, all of whom have played beyond the four year limit.

Some of the sorority girls have become so circumspect that they cannot accompany a young man on the piano without a chaperon.
The only thing to be feared or deplored about the chaperon movement is the formality which it would introduce into University society. The west has always boasted a good healthy freedom of action which is not compati with the idea of a chaperon on every corner. Such things obtain only where it is a cardinal sin for a man to appear without a dress suit after six o'clock.

The large attendance at chapel never fails to attract the attention of former students. "Do you have any compulsory chapel attendance?" is the question invariably asked when an old K. U. man visits the University for the first time in four or five years. A daily attendance from six hundred to a thousand students looks surprising to those who were accustomed to only three hundred, and present conditions augur well for the future of the University.
THE DAUNTLESS HIGKS.
Another old hero is passing away
What shall we say tellows, what shall we say?
Can word of ours tell him the things that we feel?
Do you think we can soften his old heart o' steel?
Can we make him believe that these tear drops are real?
Him, born to the carnage and bred to the fray?
Why there's nouse to tell him the least little word
A touch of the hand—and he's heard
He has glanced in our hearts, he has read the whole story
Don't you know when all trampled and wounded and gory.
He yearned to our hearts and was dumb to his glory
And only through ours was his own bosom stirred.
Now a clasp of his hand and for ever he's gone
The glory of day means the death of the dawn
Our day and his powers are fled to the past
And the red sky of youth, it is palling at last
So farewell and Godspeed! Let our hearts hold him fast,
Til the journey is run and the long night comes on.

"THE WIZARD OF OZ"
Play goers, young and old, are keenly awaiting the visit of "The Wizard of Oz," which is one of the most successful extravaganzas ever produced. Gay with its brilliant trappings, bright with its bevy of pretty girls, bewitching in harmony, beautiful in its color' effects, and buoyant in its fun, "The Wizard of Oz" is the kind of entertainment that appeals to ninety-nine people out of a hundred. "The Wizard of Oz" is a production that stands preeminently in a class of its own. From a scenic standpoint it is gorgeous throughout, and if one is fond of fun, the sight of pretty girls arrayey in brilliant costumes, music of the light and catchy order and stage pictures that are gems of scenic art, then "The Wizard of Oz" cannot be equaled.
The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman are, of course, the principal comedy features in the production, but there are a dozen other fun creators, almost equally clever, each of whom prohis share of the fun. One must not overlook, however, the comical Lion and frolicsome Cow who provoke screams of laughter. Dainty little Dorothy is an ideal heroine for a fairy play. The chorus is one of the largest and most clever ever enlisted in the production of an extravaganza. The Wizard of Oz" will appear
at the Bowersock Opera house Tuesday 20. Owing to the length of the performance the curtain will rise promptly at eight o'clock.
Roy Sanford, of the senior pharmacy class will relieve Julian Jenkinson '04 during the holidays. Mr. Jenkinson is head clerk at Hinoe's Pharmacy, Kans. City, Mo.
F. M. M. Moore '04 has been working of late for the drug firm of McLean Bros, of Lamar, Colo. Mr. Moore writes that Lamar is a live town and the druggists are progressive, having stores well up to date.
PHARMACY ALUMNI NOTES.
The proceedings of the Kansas Pharmaceutical association for 1904 are out. The publication is quite late in making its appearance, as the Secretary A.E. Topping '88 of Overbrook, was much handicapped in his work owing to a fire, during the summer, which caused him considerable loss. Mr.Topping has done well under the circumstances and deserves credit for work he has accomplished,

TO DEAN GREEN.
First in War, First in Peace, First in the Hearts of His Countrymen.
In every school there is an idol; a person to whom the students look for judgment, consolation or advice in all college disputes and troubles. In some schools it is the "Prexie," in others it is the football coach; in the University of Kansas it is "Uncle Jimmy" Green.
Dean of the School of Law president of the athletic board and the best friend the students
GENTLEMAN SOUIRS
ever could wish for, his word has been law among the student body since the University students ever thought of having a protector.
When enthusiasm is needed, "Uncle Jimmy" speaks in a rooting meeting and hoarse voices are abundant next day. A football controversy arises and the decision of the President of the Athletic Board settles it. A student gets into trouble and Judge Green defends him.
He once attempted to resign from the Athletic Board; again it was said he was going to leave the University, but to the great relief of the entire institution he was forced to remain.
There is no doubt that this popular dean will stay with the University until his lungs are unable to permit him to smoke his favorite cigar.
May he advise our children as well as he did our grandfathers.
LIMERICKS BY C, L. EDSON.
There was an old player named Hicks
There was an old player named Hicks
They say that he used to put cricks In Indian's necks Which reduced 'em to wrecks This cunning old codger named Hicks.
He had a young friend they called Pooler
Bout the size of a small six inch ruler "He can't play at all," People said "He's too small"
But gee whiz! That young lad was a fooler.
There was once a player named Ackerman,
In time he became ju-sta cracker man When they gave him the ball He would bump thru them all And with head, feet and hands he would whack-er-man.
There was a young fellow named Green
The tigers they treated him mean They beat him and maimed him They slugged him and lamed him His face wasn't fit to be seen.
This ain't all though that happened to Green.
His sweetheart rushed onto the scene No longer she'd tarry But forced him to marry Now wasn't that girlie a queen?

Schedule and Players—May be Under Separate Management.
BASKET BALL.
The Basket Ball men are hard at work three evenings in the week, getting ready for the coming games and Captain Ira Adams is getting the men into good form. Adams played guard last year and is known as one of the best players on the squad Manley Michaelson and Frank Barlow of last year's team are trying for forwards while C.J.Bliss and H J.Luther are the new men working for the same positions. Bliss has been on the track team for several years and is fast at getting around and passing the ball. Hicks and Pooler are out practicing every evening but say they do not intend to try for the team because their work in the law school requires too much time.
Ben Stelter, Charlie Siler and Milton Miller are trying for the center position. Stelter and Siler have played the game for several years and know the game thoroughly.
Captain Adams will play his old position of guard. Roy Roberts, William Miller, Roseoe Winnegal and Harry Hunter, all new men, are trying for the otner guard. Winnegal is from Hiram college, Ohio, where he played on the college team. He will very probably make the team here.
The schedule for this year's game has not been completed as yet for the Athletic Board has not decided whether it will back Basket Ball or not. But if the Athletic Association does not take hold of it, it is certain that the Department of Physical training will, but if the latter happens of course no elaborate schedule can be planned.
A schedule as outlined by Manager Plank includes at present; Y. M. C. A., Topeka; Emporia State Normal; Kansas National Guards, Newton; Friends' University, Wichita; Agricultural College, Manhattan; and William Jewell of Liberty, Mo., with a possibility of securing out of the state games with Des Moines, Iowa; Iowa State University; Chicago University; and Monmouth College of Illinois,

THE FOOTBALL TEAM OF 1904
M. H. BARNARD

Captain Hicks.
ALBERT HICKS.
With the close of this season, ends the football career of Captain Albert Hicks, right end and one of the best men that ever donned the Kansas moleskin. During four successive years he has played right end, and has gained a reputation as a hard, sure tackler and a consistent ground gainer. For the past two years he has been chosen as a member of the all-star eleven of the Missouri Valley. Hicks is almost idolized by the student body and has made a name for himself in athletics at Kansas University which will endure for many years to come. Albert Hicks comes from the "short grass" country, and before entering the University, played on the Beloit High School team. He is 23 years old, weighs 160 pounds and is 5 feet 10 inches in height. He will probably practice law next year.
ARTHUR POOLER.
Arthur Pooler, the wonderful little quarter back, is another of the Jayhawker stars. In the Missouri game last year, he won the game by kicking a field goal with but a minute left to play. In the Washburn game this year he made the only score of the game by a brilliant quarter back run of thirty yards. He is probably the best tackler on the team and does all the punting and goal kicking. Pooler also comes from Beloit. He is 22 years of age, weighs 155 pounds and is 5 feet 6 inches tall. He has one more year to play and will be back next year. He will captain the Jayhawkers next season.
Manley Michaelson, the remarkable center, is the best man at his position Kansas has ever had, and probably is the equal of any center in the west.
Certainly there is not a man in the Missouri Valley who can compare with him. On the defensive "Mike" often breaks through and downs the man with the ball before he can get started. He is 23 years old, stands an even 6 feet, and weighs 181 pounds.
This is only Michaelson's second year on the 'Varsity, but he graduates from the Law school next Spring and will probably begin practicing Law immediately. If he should return for a Post-Graduate course,

Emile Brunner is one of the strongest players in the line. For two years he has been playing guard to the entire satisfaction of coaches and students. He is one of the best ground gainers on the teams and his terrific line plunges make him a hard man to stop. Brunner is 23 years old,6 feet tall and weighs 178 pounds.
EMILE BRUNNER
as the student body hopes, he will add great strength to the Jayhawkers next year.

John Fleishman.
C. PRENTISS DONALD.
C. Prentiss Donald, left tackle, is one of the strongest men on the team. This is "Don's" second year on the team, and he is improving every year. In carrying the ball, he is a terror to opponents, and can always be depended on for good gains. Donald comes from near Moran, where he played on the High School team, before entering the University. He is 22 years old, 5 feet, 10 inches tall, and weighs 202 pounds. He is the heaviest man on the Kansas team. He will be back next year.
J. C. Royer, left guard, has developed into a strong player within one season. This is his first season on the football squad and he has made good. He is especially strong in opening holes in the opponent's line, through which the backs may advance the ball. Royer is also captain of the base ball team and a good all-round athlete. He is 22 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs 180 pounds. He will return next year.
J. C. ROYER
CARLACKERMAN
He will help make up the 1905 team.
The position of right tackle is acceptably filled by Carl Ackerman. "Ack" has played three years on the Varsity, two at guard and one attackle. He has been a consistent ground gainer and at times, his work was sensational. He is 23 years old. 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 180 pounds. "Ack" graduates from the law school this year.
"BONY" FLEISHMAN
Fleishman at end, while not a sensational player, he is played a good steady game. He is a good tackler and always in the game.
He is from Topeka and is

Ronse, another end is a good defensive worker and a sure tackler. His home is in Beloit and he weighs 165 pounds.
ROUSE
MYERS
Myers, right half, is a hard, steady player. Last year he attended Chicago University where he played on the Freshman team. Entering Kansas University this year, he made the team at once and has been playing halt all season. He is not a sensational player, but can be depended upon for good gains and is the best man on the team in helping the man with the ball. He comes from Fort Scott, is only 19 years old, is 6 feet tall and weighs 158 pounds. He will probably be

with the Jaywhawker squad again next year.
Ed. Green, the little left half was the smallest man on the team, being only 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing 140 pounds. He is very fast and a hard, sure tackler. He is from La Harpe. He was married immediately after the close of the football season
Charles Ise, a full-back, is a remarkably strong player. This is his first year at the full-back position, but he has made a brilliant showing. In the Washington game and in the Missouri game, he distinguished himself by many times breaking through the center of the line for long runs, several of which were for touchdowns. He comes from Osborn, in the "short grass" country; is 22 years old, weig is 153, and is 5 feet, 10 inches tall. He gets his degree this year, but may return next fall.
McCOY.
McCoy, at half, is the fart est man on the squad. He did especially fine work in the Missouri game, making several long runs of from 10 to 50 yards. "Mac" is 6 feet tall and weighs 180 pounds.
CHARLES ISE.
McCarty did good work at the full-back position until he was hurt in the Oklahoma game. He has been unable to play since. He comes from La Harpe, is 5 feet, 10 inches in height and weighs 153 pounds.

IT'S VICTORIES==IT'S MEN==IT'S COACH
M. H. TOTHA
Photo by Squires "Bert" Kennedy,—the man behind.
M. S. R. TOPKIA
"BERT" KENNEDY
To "Bert" Kennedy an incalculable debt is owed by the students of the University. In the short time allotted him, he made a machine which at the end of the football season had no superior in the Missouri Valley. His task was an especially difficult one owing to the frequent changes in coaches that have been made in the last few years, and the consequent absence of any traditional Kansas University system of coaching.
Coach Kennedy's football experiences have been long and cast in pleasant lines. After his football days here ended, he entered the University of Pennsylvania, and soon made the team, where he gained a as enviable reputation for himself in Eastern football circles as he had in the Missouri Valley when playing with Kansas.
After leaving Pennsylvania, he was engaged to coach at Washburn college, where tor two years he produced an all-victorious team. As Coach Kennedy's home is in Lawrence and his growing practice in dentistry made his presence here more and more imperative, it was an easy mat for the Athletic Association to secure his services early this fall as coach for two years.
HARRY HART
Harry Hart, sub-half, did some sensational work in the Missouri game, making several long runs. He weighs 156 pounds. Other good substitutes are Russell, 175 pounds, fast on his feet and a strong hunter. Reed, Milton, Livingstone, Thoms, White and Root, all deserving men.
The commendable zeal with which he has coached the team, his pleasant relations with its members and the students and his qualities as a man, make Coach Kennedy an individual admirel and respected by all with whom he comes in contact.
The annual Thanksgiving game is the all-important football game of the year. For fourteen years these games have been played. Of these fourteen games, Kansas has won nine Missouri four, and one drawn battle.

RESUME OF THE SEASON.
What Has Been Done And What It Means. The foot ball season of 1904 has now passed into history. The last game has been played, the parties, banquets and receptions given to the members of the team are over, and the captain of next year's team has been selected. The interest of the students at large, concentrated for the past three months in the victories and defeats on the gridiron, will be diverted into the various common channels of student activities and foot ball will be lost sight of for the remainder of the year.
The Kansas team of 1904 is one of the best that ever represented the University. Certainly it ranks above any Jayhawkter team since the "Ever Victorious" team of '99. Individually and collectively, the team is a model football organization. Every man on the team is a bona fide student of the University of Kansas and is in the University primarily to receive an education, and not for the mere purpose of playing football, They are representative students and gentlemen in every sense of the word. The University of Kansas is perfectly willing to rest its reputation as an educational institution upon the conduct of the 1904 football team both on and off the field.
One circumstance that contributed in no small degree to the
success of the team is the fact that most of the men are veterans. Practically all of them have had some experience previousto his season. The team had a little hard luck at the beginning of the year but when it once got fairly started as it did about the middle of the season, the players made a clean sweep of everything. And, at the end of the season with every part of the powerful foot ball machine working smoothly and harmoniously, there was no show whatever for Kansas' valued rivals, the Missouri "Tigers."
The progress of the team was slow and unsatisfactory at first. A large amount of material came out, but Coach Kennedy was bothered with many difficulties and obstacles that greatly hindered the development of the
M. & B. TOPEMA

team. The first game, with Emporia college, was a disappointment to the students and supporters of the varsity team. The score of 6 to 0 was disheartening in the extreme as a year before the Jayhawkers had defeated the college by a score of 34 to 0. However, colder weather and a week of hard practice worked wonders in the team and the following Saturday Kansas rolled up a score of 34 points against the Kansas State Normal team, the visitors failing to score.
The outcome of the Haskell game on October 6 was not unexpected as Haskell had a great team and had already rounded into mid season form. On October 25 the Jawhawkers lined up
against the strong team from Colorado University, which had but a week before defeated Nebraska by a score of 6 to 0. The game ended in a tie—6 to 6.
On October 22 the Kansans played Oklahoma University at Norman and won easily by a score of 16 to 0. Constant practice and drilling in formations by Coach Kennedy now began to show good results and in the game with Washburn College at Topeka the Jawhawkers showed little improvement, though Kansas won by the small score of 5 to 0,the score should have been much larger The first half was played almost entirely within twenty yards of Washburn's goal line and on the defensive, the Kansas line was impregnable.
As the season progressed the men played together much better; offense became fiercer and more compact, and the defense was a veritable store wall. Victory followed victory in rapid succession. The stong Notre Dame team was defeate 124 to 5, Washington University at St. Louis went down to the tune of 12 to 0 and Manhattan swamped 41 to 4, and finally, in the great Thanksgiving day contest at Kansas City, before 8,000 spectators, with the team in perfect condition, the Jawhawkers rounded out their great season by defeating Missouri 29 to 0.
The team of 1904 has made a record for itself that will long be remembered by football enthusiasts of the west. The only game lost by Kansas was the one to the Haskell Indians and this was early in the season, before the team was fairly developed.

THE WORK OF THE Y. M. C. A.
The Young Men's Christian Association has been in the University as a student organization for nearly fifteen years, but it was first organized with the City Association in 1882. The organization did not begin to have a very large place in the University life until the Fall of 1899 when it had its first "House" and employed its first Secretary, Mr. P. O. Hanson, who is now in China, filled this place and gave half of his time to the work. The Association has had a remarkable growth during these five years. While in '99 there were only about 35 members there are now 225 and will be over 250 when the membership canvass is completed.
But even more significant has been the internal development of the work. A few years ago about all that was being done was to hold a weekly religious meeting. The work that the Association is doing now covers a broader field and reaches men from more sides. The work for new students has come to be an important part of the program. This year a number of the men came back a week earlier to help in this. The town was canvassed for boarding and rooming places, trains were met, an information bureau was maintained at the house, and informal social affairs were held every evening so that the men could meet and get acquainted. There was an average of forty men out and some evenings more came than could get into the house. The Employment Bureau canvassed the town for work and was able to give some assistance to nearly every man who wished it. Applications for work from over ninety men have been received. It is safe to say that a great majority of the new men were helped in some definite way during the first few weeks of school. Two receptions were given to the new students and were well attended.
Two religious meeting a week were held the first part of the term but later the Sunday meeting was changed to once in two weeks, so as to be able to get more speakers from out of town. The Thursday evening meetings are still the Association Prayer meetings and are attended by
an average of 25 men. For the Sunday addresses we have been able to secure some of the best men in the country, such men as Prof. Iden, of Emporia, and Mr. H. M. Beardsley, who is the President of the Upper House of the Kansas City Council were been secured. The attendance at these meetings has ranged from 45 to 125. There are eight Bible classes this year with 145 men enrolled, and two Mission study classes with 30 enrolled, which is more than twice as many as there were last year. Over 90 men have taken into membership and were initiated at the spread Friday evening.
One factor that has had very much to do with the development of the Association work is the Student Conference held at Lake Geneva, Wis., each year.
Last Summer there were five of the Association men who attended and received the training such a Conference has to offer
The Budget of the Association this year is $1226.00, and this fund is secured from students, faculty, alumni and other friends. The interest which alumni and friends outside of the University take in this work is very encouraging. They have already subscribed $150.00 and we expect to receive $250.00 before the end of the year. A great deal of the success of the Association is due to the many friends which it has outside of the University.
THE COMING ANNUAL.
The management of the Jayhawker '05 is, "even as they always do," promising the "best ever." The managing board consists of the editor-in-chief, business manager, and ten assistants. The board was chosen early in the year and has been working ever since.

The managing board consists of Dana Gatlin, editor-in-chief; Geo. Hansen, business manager; staff of assistants, Irene Gilchrist, Edith Levan, Grace Smith, Lesley Hill, Thompson, Ray Barton, Frank Sorgatz. Jack Pattison and Hill P. Wilson.

THE MAN WHO FELL FROM THE WATER TOWER.
N. M. McGillivray, a former student of the University, was a visitor at the University this week. McGillivray is remembered and known to all students of the University as the man who fell 75 feet from the top of the stand tower while attempting to inscribe his class numerals upon it. His class was the last to attempt such feats and during his freshman and sophomore years they bedecked their side of the stand tower, which is easiest to get at from the ladder. But as it was easy for other classes to do that, so in Mr. Gillivray's junior year, it was proposed to place the emblem of their class on the northeast side which is very difficult to get at. A rope and pulley arrangement was made whereby a man could be pulled up to the top, McGillivray, as the most daring, was selected to do the painting. He was safely pulled up and was beginning to work when the rope broke just above his head. Nearly dead from the fall, he was carried to his home where he lay helpless for weeks. After getting up he was compelled to go on crutches for nearly a year, but he has since almost entirely recovered and to look at him now one would never dream that he had gone through such a painful experience.
Of the six men who had hold of the rope that night two have since died, one, George Hood, is a member of the faculty. and the whereabouts of the other three is unknown.
Mr. McGillivray has for the last four years been in the employ of the Mexican Central Railroad. At present he holds the position of Division Superintendent of the Zacatecas branch.
THE BASE BALL TEAM.
Prospective Line Up. Plenty of Good Ma-
verial.
The prospects for next year base ball team are very bright. Seven of the old players will be back and there will be plenty of good, new material from which to choose. The catching position will be very well guarded by Royer, who played the same position last year and who is captain of this year's team. Royer is considered one of of the best amateur catchers in the Missouri valley and he is a good field general, always in the game and always getting the best out of his men. The pitching staff this year will be very strong. Morgan the star pitcher on last year's team will hold down the same position next season. Gill and Ames, who pitched for the Friends University last year, will also be on the pitching staff and should prove very valuable to the team. Dean who played third base some and short last year, will probably play short this year in Sexton's place as Sexton is a star outfielder and will be needed in the left garden. Henry who played first base last year will not be back this year but there will be a good man to hold down that suck in either Brookens or Ben Young. Ben Young was a star first baseman on the Kansas City Kansas, high School team last year. Second base will be well covered by Wilson, who played that position on last year team, Johnson, who played third base last year and who will play the same base this year was the best around player on last year's team. He never lost his head and is a good hitter and a surthrower. Everything that come in the outer field will be take care of by Sexton, Woodford an Gillette, who make an outfit that is hard to beat. The schedule though scarcely started will probably embrace the following College of Emporia, Emporia Normal, Agricultural College Washburn, Friends University Fairmount, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Washington University Missouri and possibly Iowa Practice will begin as soon as the weather settles and will be pushed vigorously.

THE GREAT GAME IN NIXTY ONE
The footfall of football marching back to town again
It finds me and minds me of games of other days
Of old games and bold games o "tackle" rush and down again
Kayouga played Missouga, Oh,
that's the game to talk about.
Hugging men and sluggling men in forty different ways.
Kayouga played Missouga, it was back in Nixty-one
Both age and youth-in very truth all people that could walk about
Thronging came to see the game and help along the fun.
The presidents and residents, Professors and the Tutors come
Psychology, biology, zoology arts the hooters and the rooters and the fifers and the fluters came
Ten hundred voices thundered forth the hope within their hearts.
Kayouga held Missouga once _ until they had to ount the ball
A sailing high along the sky it fled to distant lands.
Kayougans then, like circus men rose three ranks high to hunt the ball.
The highest was the sprest and he caught it in his hands.
The rushing line came rushing fine to down the three a standing there
They grappled tight to left and right of him upon the ground.
No fumbling now but tumbling now,a summersault and landing fair.
They came down fine within the line and raced across the ground.
Missouganis then got up again, and wildly chased the floating man
Each smote the one ahead of him and sent him like a shot
Into the fire, it seemed, the flier had leaped from out the frying pan,
For like a stone by giants thrown they downed him on the spot
They haggled and they dragged till the lookers on were wild
Then south and north and back and forth a raging like an elephant.
The chancellors were casting slurs they bandied many a fell af front
They muttered and they stuttered in a manner far from mild.
As few yards as two yards were twist him and the goal
But through it all the man and bath were being slowly hammered back
"We'll win it in a murder," said Miss souga and they stammered back
"Seven seconds yet to play. we'll play with heart and soul."
Another rush, another crush, the heroes push and roll again
When bang! the ball exploded in a burst of smoke and flame.
They saw him fly along the sky, and cross 'Missouga's goa again
The player with the pig skin so Ka youga won the game.
The presidents, the residents, professor and the tutors velled
Psychologists,biologists,zoologists and all;
The band played,the stand swayed and all the happy rooters yelled.
Ten hundred voices thundered forth one cheerful fearful bawl.
Nowthe football of football march, ing back to town again
It thrills me and fills me with mem ories of the day,
Kayouga played Missouga and they tore her colors down, again
Andgai eda bund ed ɛrd-əm m

OLD MEN TO RETURN.
Chicago Probably in Schedule - Most of This Year's Football Regulars to Return.
The victorious football season just past causes a feeling of exultation in the success of the crimson and the blue. The management and students now look forward to the season of 1905. The question most often asked is, "What will next year's team do?"
Hicks has played four years and will graduate together with Michaelson and Ackerman. Their loss, although great, has been expected and about twenty five men will try for their places. Pooler, Brunner, Royer, Donald, Myers, Ise, McCoy, Fleishmann. Rouse, McCarty, Russell and Davies will probably return next fall. Livingston is probably the man who will take the place of Hicks. Davies looks capable of taking Ackerman's place at tackle. Milton has been substitute center this year. A very fast set of backs can be developed from what material is at hand, and as there are plenty of heavy men who are trying for a place on the team a strong line is certain.
When every opposing team is broken up and handicapped by the new rules, Kansas University has besides this year's team, trained men in every class who are capable of playing in the 'varsity team next year. The freshman team developed many fine players who will be able to make the team. The management is now corresponding with Chicago in order to schedule a game. Chicago will play a Missouri Valley team and Kansas will probably be chosen for the schedule.
Iowa writes favorably and the Athletic Board,it is hoped will arrange for a game with Nebraska it it so wishes.
The prospects for next year's team could hardly be better and the schedule will enable the team to show what Kansas brain and brawn can accomplish against some of the "Big Nine" elevens as it is probable that Iowa, Illinois and Chicago will be scheduled.

UNIVERSITY SOCIETY.
Something About Social Functionious in General.
Society in Kansas University is better regulated, more elevated and on a saner basis than it is in many towns of a larger size, where social happenings are controlled by much older people. The democracy of the University is refreshing in contrast to the formality that obtains in social matters in small college Here boarding clubs, fraternities, literary societies, and class organizations all have a hand, and no one is slighted.
The fall season in University social circles is always a busy one, with its reception to new students, annual fall parties, class dances and rushing parties, but it is the spring season which, within the last few years has added so much to the social life of the University.
The Junior Prom is always the biggest class affair of the year, and by reason of its elaborateness and the efforts of the Sophomores to break it up,it is the best known of University social affairs The Y. M. C.A. and the Y.W.C.A.each gives a large reception yearly for students,and this year the ladies of the faculty have been making the acquaintance of girl students by a series of teas,held fortnightly.
First, we have the spring parties, which are the result of a gradual growth of many years, dating probably back to the time when the one large social event of the year was the commencement banquet, given for the citizens of Lawrence, to excite their interest in the University. This idea was carried one step further, when the various societies, literary and social, each gave an annual entertainment of some sort, although for many years these functions were merely in the form of open meetings, when entertainment and refreshments were furnished the guests.
With the introduction of fraternities into the university came the dancing parties, and taking up this idea of annual entertainments, the fraternities have chosen the spring parties as their yearly functions. These were at first simple affairs, on which little money and labor was expended, but from this primitive stage, the season has gradually become a series of brilliant dances with extensive decorations, imported musicians and elaborate refreshments.
Several years ago the parties were held in Eldridge Hall. Later they migrated to Pythian Hall when the necessity arose for larger parties. From now on, however, the New Fraternal Aid Hall will be the scene of all the big dances. Each society has vied in making its spring party the most elaborate and brilliant.
Several years ago one sorority gave a Japanese party which is still talked of as one of the prettiest dances given here. The Oread Club is an organization of nonfraternity men which gives a dancing party about every three
weeks. To these parties are in vited representatives from every Greek letter organization and from the general ranks of the students, and invitations are always eagerly sought after.
The Junior Prom is the affair of the spring season. This is the reception and dance given to the Seniors, and is always the occasion of vigorous efforts put forth by the Sophomores to interfere with the success of the dance, whether it be molasses on the floor, kidnapping the class president or destroying the decorations. The Junior Prom attracts more attention outside the university than any other affair held here.
Commencement Week is always the time for social events, but the early departure of many of the students confines these affairs to a smaller number.

Prof. L. E. Sayre is going to experiment upon the guinea pig with fungi of the loco weed for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not this fungus is poisonous. Prof. Sayre has already proved, by experiment, that the loco weed itself is no poisonous. If the fungus is found to be nonpoisonous, the death of stock which eat this weed will have to be attributed to another cause. The structure of the leaf of this plant is hair-like, a fact which may bring about malnutrition. Prof. Sayre feels assured that he will bring new facts to light by his experiment.
PROF. SAYRE'S EXPERIMENT.
Monday Der Deutsche Verein held its regular meeting in the German room. A story "Der Blinde Schimmel," by Miss Edith McCarty, was considered especially well rendered. Miss Kate Reynolds and Miss Nigum presented a scene from Minna Von Barnhelm. It was very pleasing and called forth much applause. The club sang several German songs. It was decided to make the meeting of next Monday afternoon a special Christmas meeting, in which the story of the birth of Christ and appropriate songs and poems be given.
