COUNTY CLUB DOINGS.
Many Banquets, Much Loyalty and Great Good the Holiday Order.
The Cherokee County club gave a reception to the seas, faculty and alumni of the Cherokee County High School at Columbus on Thursday evening, January 4, in the high school building. About ninety guests were present.
Prof. Eramus Haworth of the University faculty talked to the company on the change in importance and organization of colleges and universities within the past few years. Professor Haworth is an old resident of Cherokee county, as he moved there with his parents in 1866, and his father, Mr. Elwood Haworth, still lives on the old claim in the southeastern part of the county.
Rev. Frank Jewett, of the University class of 99, spoke on college society.
The club presented a framed picture of the University hill to the high school. Refreshments and games were provided and the affair was an entire success. The Cherokee County high school students are becoming very much interested in the University, and probably twelve or fifteen new students will come to the Universiily from there next year.
MONTGOMERY.
One of the most successful of the banquets given by K. U. students during the holidays was given by the Montgomery students on January 4, 1905, in Independence, Kansas. There were about thirty guests from the senior high school class and all enjoyed themselves thoroughly. There were a large number of alumni present and several good speeches were made.
JOHNSON.
The Johnson County club of the Kansas University, gave a reception in Olathe, January 3, to the Senior class of the Olathe High school and former K. U. students. The reception was held in the Commercial Club parlors and was well attended. The program, consisting of speeches by former and present K. U. students, occupied most of the time Much enthusiasm was aroused by the speeches, songs and yells, and the prospects are that several of this year's graduates will attend the University next year. The fact that "Uncle Jimmie Green" was a former county attorney of Johnson County, was brought out by the old alumni.
County Superintendent L. A. Parke was elected president of (continued on page 4.)
The Osage County club held their first annual banquet at Osage City Thursday night, January 5. Every school in the county was represented and much interest was shown by the seniors.
GLEE GLUB TRIP
Very Successful and a Continuous Round
of Joy.
On the day vacation begun Friday, December 23rd, the members of the University Glee club packed their grins with music and a lot of that indefinable substance known as K. U. spirit and started to distribute it around Kansas. They began and finished a most successful tour of the State towns. It is the first time in several years that a University organization has made so long a tour and with no disastrous results. The trip, socially, was one round of pleasure. Many of the county clubs gave their annual banquet on the night the club was scheduled, and if this was or had been impossible, the students living there No moment was dull for those representing Kansas University. The tour covered a distance of 700 miles, through the southern part of Kansas.
The social side of life was made apparent to the boys at their first stop, Olathe, where, after a pleasant reception by K. Ustudents, at the rooms of the Olathe Commercial Club, all were invited to a party given by the sophomore class of the Olathe High School.
The first long ride of the trip was between Olathe and the next stopping place, Iola. A small but appreciative audience greeted the club there.
Sunday was spent in Chanute, where by the courtesy of wilbur Lapham all were pleasantly entertained Sunday evening. After the concert Monday night the Jefferson County club gave its banquet with the Glee club as guests. During the stay there several members of the club visited the smelters and other objects of interest.
The words Kansas University seemed to open the doors of everything anyone wished to visit, though ordinarily closed to outsiders.
At Parsons, after the concert, which was given in the beautiful New Elks Theatre, all were invited to an oyster supper tendered by the students and graduates there. Prof. C. E. Hubach, Henry Asher, and Alva Bernhard spoke of the advantages of our University and did it so well that they, with R. U. Hoover, were unanimously appointed speech makers for the rest of the trip.
At Winfield, the Cowley County club gave its banquet. Most of the officers were unavoidably absent, but Jess R. Hoel acted as toast master.
Newton was the next place of entertainment, where at the home of M. Warkentine a K.U. (continued in page 4.)
KANSAN PLANS.
Proposed Plans of Reorganization.
At the last Editorial Board election of the Univhrsity Weekly Publishing Association it was agreed by the candidates on both tickets that a radical change in the plan of managing the University paper was necessary and that the basis of the new plan should be to make membership in the editorial board dependent upon competition, and thus to insure that all members should be interested and capable, and presumably efficient and active. Thus it is hoped to meet the cardinal objection to the old plan; that board members chosen solely to represent some University interest have as a rule contented themselves with representing that interest in a purely ornamental way, so that two or three or half a dozen willing workers have always been compelled to do the work intended for sixteen. A further and perhaps equally serious objection to the old plan is that it does not insure that the men placed in charge of the student publication will be the men best qualified to assume the responsibility and most completely prepared for it by their previous experience.
How best to make the proposed change is a hard problem to solve; and it is far easier to formulate a new plan of management than it is to engineer the transition from the old to the new. During the present term a body of competitors has been called out and set to work covering the University news field as reporters, and furnishing perhaps the greater part of the news matter that has appeared in the KANSAN. Almost all of these competitors have shown ability as well as energy; and therefore there is available, whenever a plan for using it is adopted, a supply of excellent and proved material for filling vacancies in the Board.
To secure a plan the Board appointed a committee consisting of the Chaffcellor, Prof. E. M. Hopkins, Prof. W. W Lawrence, the managing editor and the business manager, to prepare one and report to the Board. That committee has reported a general plan based on a comparison of the systems of other Universities, and has suggested also some details of a possible method of getting the plan into practical operation. The Board has unanimously adopted this general plan for recomendation to the stockholders at their next meeting; and the action of the stockholders will determine the next step to be taken.
In substance the plan is as follows: All Board members are to be chosen in their freshmen and sophomore years, in a series of competitive contests extending through those years are to remain on the Board until the end of their college course, and are to share in the profits, if any, in proportion to the degree of their responsibility and the length of their term of service. A full Board will consist of five seniors, five juniors, and five sophomores, each of whom has been chosen in his freshmen or sophomore year.
At the beginning of the first term of each college year, a competition will be opened to members of the freshmen class. Candidates will be assigned to general and special duty as reporters, and at the end of the term the two men whose printed work has been greatest in quantity and best in quality will be appointed to the board on probation. A similar competition will be open during the second term of the year; and at the end of that term two more freshmen will be appointed on probation. All these appointments become permanent after satisfactory service of one term.
During the first and second terms of each year, competitions will be open to members of the sophomore class for the filling of vacancies that may arise through the non-return or non-service of members. All these contests will be for places on the news department of the board. For the business department a separate competition will be open to the freshmen in the middle of the freshman year, to last for one year. All competitors in this contest will will receive a commission on business done whether they are successful or not. At the end of the competitive period, continued on page 4.
FRAT MEN REFUSED.
Debating Council Won't Admit Fraternity Representatives.
The inter-fraternity debates have aroused a very noticeable interest in debating work among fraternity men. At the last meeting of the debating council the advisability of admitting fraternity representatives was discussed. The opinion is almost unanimous among the present members that unless the fraternities organize and maintain an active literary society, they should not reasonably expect representation in the council.
As they are at present conducted, no one of the fraternities is in any sense a literary organization or does any work that belongs to such a body. It is difficult for the council to see any valid reason for admitting to the council men who do not represent a regularly organized literary association. If the Greek letter orders of the University wish a voice in this work, some of the debaters claim they should maintain a society that encourage it.

Henry Shott, an old K. U. man and a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity has recently been made city editor of the Kansas City Star. The Star is classed as one of the five best newspapers in the United States and Mr.Shott's position is a particularly excellent one.
The KANSAN's special edition met with more favor than was expected and there was a market for several hundred more papers. Until this edition the editor has been on a pleasure and pencil pushing trip where pleasure and profitable work combined in the proper parts and netted more than three thousand miles, a water melon dinner with radishes and lettuce and tomatoes right out of the garden. Bannana and lemon trees added to the warm sun and water that made bathing a delight all furnished much material to a Jayhawker and the fresh oysters of Galveston and Corpus Christi furnished material for considerable pleasant pastimes.

-H. W. Paris,
The crowd that enjoyed the tobogganing down Adams street Thursday and Friday are doubtless thankful that the University is on a hill.
The Topeka Capital has taken a stand for the University. In several of the late issues there have been long editorials urging the legislature to make the appropriation for the new buildings for which Chancellor Frank Strong has asked. The KANSAN has always contended that the Capital is a much better and more worthy paper than a few who are unfriendly to Washburn contend it is.
The Bethany Messenger, in an article on "The Football Situation," says: "In most cases Bethany has shown great superiority over both Kansas and Washburn in comparative scores. However, and for this reason we feel justified in ranking Kansas teams thus: Haskell, Bethany, Washburn, Kansas, Faimount, Emporia Normal, St. Mary's, Kansas State Agricultural College, Ottawa."
The Bethany Messenger reminds us of the little dog that barked so much and was the first to run.
CHANCELLOR ANDREWS ON FRATERNITIES.
In his annual report to the governor of Nebraska, Chancellor Andrews sets forth the following views regarding Greek letter societies:
"Student social affairs have a close bearing on the university's welfare. Greek letter societies have become part of the university system, yet considerable abuses, which it is most difficult to reach, occur in connection with them. Membership in these organizations often adds painfully to student expenses. Parents should remember that such membership is in no sense necessary or required, students' scholarship, reputation, standing and influence being quite independent of the question whether they join these bodies or not."
The old literary societies, the Palladian, the Union and the Dellan still do noble work, socially as well as mentally; so that membership in them is most desirable.
It would seem that not a few students enter the University simply to join fraternities or sororities. Having thus secured, as they think, social standing, many discontinue their studies, at the same time remaining in residence at their society houses as sources of demoralizing influence for students wishing to work. The conviction is spreading that fraternity initiations should be supervised and that pledging should be postponed until the student in name has demonstrated his purpose to be a student in fact. The majority of Greek letter society people appear to wish such reforms, aware that, without them, the reputation of the societies for character and scholarship suffers. The regents stand ready to enact remedial regulations, but for the present, await request therefor from the organizatons interested."
Some regulation is needed among fraternity and sorority circles, especially with regard to rushing and the Greeks themselves recognize this better than any others. In the past reform measures have been attempted but with little success. Failure was due, largely, to lack of unanimity in agreement among the Greeks. Restrictions, and voluntary ones are at smaller institutions where there is less opportunity to avoid living up to them, and, of course, these restrictions are beneficial. So far at larger institutions, these self-imposed regulations have not been successful. The excuse given that rushing must be done early at Nebraska, for self defense, if for no other reason, must be given consideration. It is a problem which those in Greek letter circles ought to be able to solve for themselves, one which ought to have been solved ere this. Just what remedial regulations these organizations can request from the regents, however, it is rather difficult to see. Such a request would be a tacit admission, on the part of the members of Greek letter societies, of inability to regulate themselves, an omission which they would be loathe to make.

KANSAN PLANS.
(continued from page 1.)
(continued from page 1.) the candidate who has shown the greatest ability in the general field will be appointed assistant business manager, and after one year of service in this capacity he will become business manager, and will hold this position for one year, retiring before graduation.
All appointments to membership are to be made by majority vote of the board upon recommendation of the proper officers of the board; the business manager and his assistant to recommend the new assistant, and the editor-in-chief and his associate to recommend appointments to positions in the new department.
Resides the business manager and assistant business manager, the officers of the board will be an editor-in-chief and an associate editor or managing editor, both to be elected by the board from the junior class members upon recommendation of the preceding officers, and to hold office for one year. This election will take place in the latter part of each year, and at that time all senior members will retire from the board.
The editor-in-chief will be the chief and presiding officer of the board, having final control of both the news and the business departments. He will be responsible for the management and for the news and editorial policy of the paper, will write the leading editorials, and direct the editorial department.
The associate or manageing editor will have charge of the news department. He will assign duties to all news editors and reporters, and see that the news field is properly covered. He will supervise the makeup and printing of the paper, and when printed will turn it over to the business manager for distribution.
The business manager will look after subscriptions and advertisements, circulation and collections, with the aid of his assistant.
Individual editors may take charge of distinct departments of the paper, or of specified issues, as may be determined. The paper may be published once, twice, or three times a week, or every day. If a daily were published, each issue of the week might have a different editor. Any board member failing to serve for two weeks will thereby vacate his position.
The plan thus generally outlined will be presented in detail at the next meeting of the stockholders, to be held before the end of the present term. If then adopted, from one to two years will be necessary to get into full operation. During that time, the general principle of appointing to board positions only competitors and of electing to office only the most competent members of the board, may be applied under the general supervision of such a committee as that which presented the original report. When the plan is in complete operation no further supervision will be necessary.
For instance, at the end of the present term, all members of the present board who have actually served in their positions may be continued to the end of the year, and from their number may be elected an editor-in-chief and an associate to serve to the end of the year. All vacancies in the board may be filled by appointing from the present competitors those who have the best record as to quantity and quality of work printed. At the same time a new competition may be opened for all the board positions to be vacated at the end of the year by the retirement of seniors, and for such other vacancies as may arise. At the end of the year, new officers may be elected from the most active and efficient of the upper class members of the boaad, and these officers may remain in charge until the latter part of the year. By that time the third competition should have provided I the necessary material from all classes for a complete organization of the board according to the general plan suggested, and thereafter there should be very little difficulty, if any, in carrying out its provisions. Such difficulties as arise earlier may be dealt with as seems wisest at the time.
It is recommended that the subscription rate of the KANSAN be so fixed that with a reasonably large subscription list it will meet the actual cost of printing and distributing and make the paper entirely independent of advertising support.
The question has been asked whether the adoption of the proposed plan will not make it possible for some University interest to secure absolute control of the paper and thereafter to retain it by appointing only its own representatives to the board. The answer is that such control can be secured and held only by always winning out in the successive competitions, and that these can be decided only upon the character of the work done by the competitors. If fitness is the only test of membership in the board, it is a matter of indifference what University interest a member may represent outside of the board itself so it is claimed; and to win and hold a position on the board will be one of the highest of University honors.

At Hutchinson, the next concert town, the opera house manager had chartered a street car for our use. Eight of the club went out to the State Reformatory where again the words "we're from K. U." established a firm footing with the officers. After dinner the club was asked to sing to the inmates.
At McPherson the banquet given there to the glee club all the K. U. spirit not previously given out was turned loose. A few of the club paid a visit to McPherson college.
The Salina Glee club entertained the club at its rooms, and afterwards at a banquet, one of the most enjoyable of the entire trip. From here the club concluded to go home and rest up for the coming school work, after a trip that would not have been missed by a single member, and hopes of a similar one next year.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
Vol. I. No.28.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, JANUARY 19, 1905.
GOOD ROADS FOR ILLINOIS.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 18—A dispatch from Shahotun states that the Russian raiding column has returned safely except for casualties while fighting the Japanese. It is stated on good authority that 300 Russians were killed or wounded, al though General Kuropatkin, in his report as given out here, admits only eighteen men killed and sixty-nine wounded.
A Proposed Law Providing For State Construction.
Mistchenko's Troops Lost 300. But Broke Through the Japs.
Springfield, Ill., Jan. 18.—The Illinois good roads commission appointed in October, 1903, by Governor Yates in pursuance of an act of the legislature, has about completed the draft of a bill which will go before the legislature probably early next week, providing for a general system of hard road building in Illinois to be dore under state supervision.
GOSSACK RAIDERS BACK.
STOCK COMPANY FOR ST. JOSEPH.
Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 18, O. D. Woodward wired his son, Frank Woodward, from New York last night that the Woodward and Burgess Amusement company had secured the lease of the Tootle Theatre in St. Joseph, Mo., from the Orpheum Circuit Company. Mr. Woodwent to New York last week, where he met Martin Beck, general manager of the Orpheum company. The deal was closed yesterday. This means the Woodward Stock company will play in St. Joseph hereafter.
M. S. U. WANTS $878,933.
Columbia, Mo., Jan. 18.-The biennial report of the board of surators of Missouri State University will be forwarded to Jefferson City in a few days. The whole amount asked for the university for the next two years is $878,933, while for the school of mines at Rolla, $168,200 is asked. A large part of the amount will come from the collateral inheritance tax and will not be taken out of the state treasury.
Washington, Jan. 18.-If the committee on rivers and harbors fails to insert in the river and harbor bill an appropriation for improvements in the Kaw at Kansas City, an effort will be made when the bill comes before the House, to add to it an amendment authorizing an appropriation for that purpose. Representative Curtis learned from Chairman Burton today that all appropriations were being reduced from the amounts originally agreed upon and that there was no likelihood of the committee recommending an appropriation for the Kaw.
INSIST ON KAW IMPROTEMENT.
DR, IRVINE CHARGES SLANDER.
Philadelphia, Jan. 18. -- The controversy between the Right Rev. Ethelbert Talbot, bishop of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Central Pennsylvania, and the Rev. Dr. I. N. W. Irvine took a new turn yesterday and it is probable that the whole affair will be aired in the civil courts. Dr. Irvine filed notice of a suit for slander against Bishop Talbot, asking damages. The papers were served on the bishop who was here today.
NEW KANSAS CITY HOSPITAL.
Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 18— The sisters of St. Mary, a Catholic order, made the final arangments yesterday for the purchase of a price of property in Kansas City on which they will erect a hospital. The building they will put up as a beginning will cost $60,000 or $70,000, but it is their plan to add to the structure soon, bringing the total cost up to $150,000.
HARGER'S ADDRESS.
5 Cents per copy
Abilene Editor Gives Interesting Talk,
Chas M. Harger, editor of the Abilene "Reflector", lectured to the newspaper class and a large number of other English students on Literature in Journalism Friday.
Mr.Harger treated his subject in a pleasant and entertaining manner, showing briefly some of the essentials of good literature and modern journalism. He said in part:
"The secret of success in literary work is to make others see and feel as you do, and only a simple, direct style of writing can accomplish this result. There is no place for stilted, flowery language."
"The one great joy is to be able to win one's way by doing what he wants to do, and he who chooses the greatest of professions, journalism, and makes a success of it should be suprem happy."
Mr. Harger is one of the fore most newspaper men in Kansas a writer and thinker of long practical experience. He is a firm friend of the University, and

The sales of the steamers and the large amount of business transacted with the Russian government were partly responsible for the extraordinary profits.

The head line, "A 'Varsity Press," don't mean that all the girls who give parties this year get in.
A better class of shows make up the opera house schedule this year than usual and there are many that are of particular interest to students.
We all know where Governor Hoch stands when it comes to higher education and proper provision for maintaining institutions of higher learning
Here is a prayer that was heard recently. "Out fathers who art in Topeka, legislators be thy name, thy kingdom come with a nice big sum, and gloried be the game."
The Emporia College and the Normal are discussing editorially which institution is the best friend of the University. It's a wonder Baker or Washburn don't come in on the goat's milk diet route.
If the state legislature knew what the amount asked for meant, not only to the University of Kansas, but to the state and to them, there would certainly be no hesitation in granting the full amount.
A meeting of the stockholders of the Kansas University Weekly Association will soon be held to adopt the plans published in the last issue of THE KANSAN. Any objection will be heard and the plans will be subject to change at that meeting.
The Y. M. C. A. needs the support of every young man in school this year, if the work as planned is to be carried out. Every one in the University should be in sympathy with the work of the association, whether he is a member or not. You can give the Y. M. C. A. material assistance by doing without one cab ride or a half dozan cigars each month, for awhile, any how.
The University has now reached the stage where a large number of its graduates occupy seats in the house of representatives at Topeka, and it will probably be these men, who are acquainted with the most urgent needs of their alma mater, and those men who have visited her and have seen the crowded condition and the necessity of an appropriation of the full amount asked, who will be most earnest in their efforts to get the bill passed without a deduction of one cent.
As yet no definite reason has been assigned for the suicide of Ed. K. Brown. It was certainly not a lack of friends, because Brown was a popular man with a large number of 'Varsity people though this was only his first year. He was not lacking in intelligence and was not burdened with any bad habits. His financial support was all that could be asked and why he should pursue such a course as to end his life is a strange and unexplainable act that is mourned by many.
The suicide of E. K. Brown of the '08 class is one of the sadest incidents that has occurred in connection with the University for a long time. His action was undoubtedly due to an undue morbidness over failure in class work, and is very likely to give a false impression of the University's attitude in such matters. It is on the whole very regretable, and resulted from a failure to see the proper relations of college life to the life of the outer world.
"The fact that the KANSAN of Kansas University in an article pronounced the College of Emporia the University's best friend and thereby slighted the Normal, seems to be worrying some Normal supporters. The pressure was so great on one that he has given veat to his feelings in an article entitled, "A Comment," in the Normal Bulletin. The College is accused of courting K. U.'s., favor for the reason that it is envious of the Normal which (as the writer says) always defeats the College in match games. To say the least the writer's memory is exceedingly short, but probably that is all that can be expected of one who is getting an education "while you wait style," as it were by a sort of "quick lunch" process. Anyone who is acquainted with the history of the two schools knows that College victories are far more numerous than those of the Normal. But the idea of the College being envious of the Normal is as bad as accusing the Normal of being envious of the grade schools. Is a school that prepares men for an A.B.. degree to envy a school whose highest purpose is to turn out nothing but a horde of Kansas school teachers?
A COMMENT ANSWERED.
The writer then proceeds in his comments by getting down on his knees to K. U., as it were, and with the look-at-what we have-done-for-you air, begs some favor from the University. He offers K. S. N., as a manufacturing concern for K. U., and asks some recognition of the fact. The writer says, "Two-thirds of the Normal football team will be playing in K. U's., team within two years," and then asks, "How many C. of E. men are there playing in K. U's., team?" The College is glad and proud to answer with the writer, "None!" Why should they? The College and K. U., are practically doing the
same educational work as far as regular college course is concerned, while the Normal doesn't pretend to advance to the same educational stage as does the State University. It is very natural for a Normal student with his preparatory education to go to K.U. for the purpose of further development, but there is nothing at K.U., except a professional course for a graduate of C. ot E. The reason no College men enter the professional courses at K.U., is because they feel that after completing a college course they can afford to go to some more highly equipped school than the State University to finish their education. These are the reasons why none of the C.of E. men are playing on K U.'s, team, K U., has always treated the College as a sister institution, not as a "benefactor," as the writer desires the Normal to be called. This is the way the College wishes to be treated. The Normal may be the humble servant of K.U., a sort of factory which prepares raw material for further development, but the College of Emporia, by the right already mentioned, can call itself K.U.'s, friend, a sister institution, asking nothing, giving nothing, and in the end producing men who, in intellectual capacity, are equal to those graduated by the University.
By this article the value of the Normal is not depreciated. As a Normal school it is one of the best, if not the best in the country. But to talk of a school whose course is no higher than a good high school, as being a rival of the College, is a joke. The Normal does good and efficient work as far as it goes, but it does not go very far. The College starts about where the Normal stops in the educational world and continues to a place equal to any college in the country. The graduate of the Normal is prepared to teach children, the College student is taught to live with and for his fellow men. The College and Normal are both educational schools, but that is all the farther the comparison goes."-College LaTe

W. H. Billingsley, drug clerk for Billingsley and Arbuthnot, of Belleville, was in the city this week. He was on his way to the Isle of Pines, West Indies, where he expects to spend about two months.
We wish to call the attention of the members of the Association to the fact that the University needs their full support for the next few weeks. Each alumnus should use his influence with the legislators from his district, to induce the legislature to make more liberal appropriations for the maintenance of K U. Now is the time to show our loyalty to our Alma Mater.
A circular letter was sent out this week to all members in good standing. These letters were mailed Wednesday evening and Thursday morning. A resident member tendered his dues. H. M. Fuller, of Seneca, was the first one out of town to remit. This is very encouraging to the Corresponding Secretary and Treasurer. Will the other good Pharmies just make an effort to keep up this rapid pace?
PROF. GRIFFITH LECTURES
Prot. W. A. Grifthn lectured to the Journalism class Tuesday on, "Newspaper Illustration." He gave the mechanical methods employed in making the illustrations.
He said in part: "The earliest method was by drawing the illustration on wood with a lead coating on the surface. The next method was by the Challa Plate process, which is used by the greatest number of papers at present. Zine etching is another process and it is used by the largest papers of the country."
The wiring of the Chemistry building was almost completed by several students who worked throughout the holidays.

Y. M. G. A., NEEDS FUNDS.
The Y. M. C. A. committees are having considerable difficulty in raising funds to meet the deficit in the treasury of the association. Prominent members say that unless more money is forthcoming, it will be necessary to limit the plans for the future very materially. It is even hinted that they may have to dispense with the services of the general secretary next year, and apply the funds wholly to other branches of the work.
A CAMPUS STATUE.
Dr. Simeon Bell of Rosedale, Kansas has given the University of Kansas a statue of an early corn planter. The composition is bronze and it stands nearly fifteen feet high.
Our early Kansas planter is represented plhuting corn by hand. At present the statue occupies a place in the museum; but it will soon be placed on the campus directly in front of the main hall. It will be the only piece of statuary in the University campus.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, JANUARY 21, 1905.
TRACK TEAM AT WORK.
Extensive Preparations to Defeat Missouri at Kansas City.
Butler is to have charge of the squad of pole-vaulters and men trying for the broad jump. Morrow has the high jump and hurdles.
5 Cents per copy.
The fourteen men who expect to try for the sprints have met several times recently in the boxing room and made arrangements for indoor training They will meet every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 4:30 in the Gymnasium. A starting rack will be erected and every man will be in condition to run when the season opens.
A track team for the Spring term has been organized. At a meeting last week, the best men of last year's team were chosen as leaders to train new men. Bailey, the Captain o the track team will train the long distance runners and Finch will instruct sprinters. Driscoll will have charge of the middle distance runners.
Ackarman, the trainer of the men who wish to handle the weights, will have to start at once in preliminary work to get in good condition early.
Every man will do his best to win from Missouri at the Kansas City indoor meet, March 17.
VALENTINE VS. HARGER,
Anyone who has heard Mr. Valentine lecture cannot but notice the contrast of the two men. One editor would be taken by one unacquainted with him to be a merchant, banker, a business man rather than an editor; while the other might be judged to be a college processor, rather literary and scholarly in his manner. On said to the rising young newspaper men and women: "Watch your style, write good English, make readable, interesting stories, there is always a place for them." The other said: "Be exact in the conduct of the business of your paper, know how much per inch your paper cost; anybody can write who has an ordinary education."
Each of these men is an editor of a small town paper. Both have made a success of the newspaper business financially and otherwise. But the different ideals which they have advocated as in the foregoing may give some hints as to what makes a successful editor, though perhaps after all they come to the same thing ultimately just as with all successful editors.
Clark Jacoby, general clerk of the House of Representatives of Kansas. and Clyde Hossford of Paola, spent Sunday at the Alpha Tau Omega house.
VALENTINE'S ADDRESS.
Another Editor Scores the Journalists.
Hon. Del A. Valentine, editor of the Clay Center Times, lectured on the "Country Newspaper" Thursday, to the class in Journalism. Mr. Valentine is at present Clerk of the State Supreme Court and president of the Kansas Day Club, but gives his chief attention to his Weekly in Clay county.
He said in part: "I was employed in a bank for a number of years and drifted into newspaper work by chance. But the training I got in the bank has been the most valuable part of my education in the newspaper business. The exactness, the application, I learned there has made it possible for me to edit a country weekly with profit. In the twenty-tour years that I have been in the newspaper business, my paper has made more money on the capital invested than any bank in my town-The Country Weekly will pay you if you run it right. I know of no business where as sure profit can be realized on as small capital. But you must pay close attention, study its business side, for it is that part of a newspaper that makes possible the editorial page."
Mr. Valentine spoke farther on the technical equipment necessary in a country newspaper office. He closed by admonishing those present "to become newspaper men and women, not journalists, for the newspaper man hires the journalist, while I never heard of a journalist hiring a newspaper man."
Professor L. E. Sayre gave a short introductory talk on anti-Diptheretic serum, from the pharmacist's view-point. Prof. M. A. Barber delivered a lecture, illustrated by stereoptican views, telling of the various forms of bacteria, and the method of preparing the various anti-toxins from animals inoculated with them. Prof. Barber also described the progress made in bacteriology and anti-toxins, from the time of Pasteur to the present day, and told of the work being done along this line in the Kansas University laboratories.
PHARMICS ENTERTAINED.
The Kansas University Pharmaceutical Society met Wednesday evening in the pharmacy museum. A number of invited guests were present, and the program was one of the most interesting ones that has been given this year.
After the lectures, refreshments were served, and the Pharmics and their guests had a social good time until the electric lights went out and compelled them to adjourn.
PHI PSI'S BIG CONVENTION.
Will Entertain Chapters of Fifth District
Kansas Alpha chapter of Phi Kappa Psi is making preparations to entertain the District Convention of the Fifth District of the fraternity, which will meet in Lawrence April 26, 27 and 28
On the evening of the 26th. the active chapter will give a smoker. The annual spring party takes place on the 27th. The convention closes on the night of the 28th with a banquet at the Coates House in Kansas City The chapters of the schools that will be represented in the convention are: the State Universities of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and California, Beloit College and Leland Stanford University.
THE KAPPA PARTY.
The long established reputation of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority as ideal entertainers was sustained in the very pretty party given Saturday night in the new Fraternal Aid hall at which about one hundred and twenty couples were in attendance, including many guests out of town. This was the first sorority party ever given in the new hall and if the others to follow maintain the standard of social pleasure and happiness set by the Kappa Greeks the reputation of Kansas University girls as the best hostesses in the state will ever grow.
Upon entering the large hall guests were greeted by Miss Maude Olender and Harry Hart, Olga Newlin and Dode Henley and Miss Eva Hirst and John Fleishman. Shortly after nine o'clock the grand March started, led by Miss Eva Hirst and John
leishman. A program of twenty-four selections was danced out to the music furnished by Zieler's orchestra of Kansas City.
A delightful course dinner was served in the large salon. Among the out of town guests present were: Miss Mary Gray, Gay Shephard, Maud Proudfit, Mamie Maher and Messrs Frank McKnight, Ralph Nelson, Fred Seddon, and Ray Clifford, of Kansas City; Miss Margaret Going and Miss Charlotte Nelson, Topeka; Miss Marie Williams, Newton; and Miss Grace King, of Holton.
Miss Mamie Maher returned to her home in Kansas City today, after a visit with friends here. She was accompanied by Miss Mary Bitting.
The Track Team has lost a valuable man since the holidays. G.A.McGrath, of Carbondale, who made five feet, six inches on the high jump went home last week.
NEW DEBATING COUNGIL.
Independents and Frat Men in Together.
This morning in Physics building the Athenian Senate was organized by 21 men of the University who are interested in placing the debating and oratorical interests of the University on a higher standard and firmer basis. J.A.Hoel,who represented Kansas at the National Oratorical contest last summer in St.Louis, is the one person to whom all the credit for the new organization belongs.
The new senate plans to have regular meetings and to have all debating and oratorical interests of the University converge in such a manner that the new society will be by far the strongest literary club in the entire college. Social affairs, including dances and dinners will also be given.
The charter members are: Jesse A. Hoel, C. O. Pingry, George Benson, R. C. McCormick, John A. Johnson, J. R. Givens, J. Winter, Blood, Albert Beach, W. J. Lucky, Paul Wall, D. J. Sheedy, Manley Michaelson, N. P. Sherwood, P. A. Montgomery, Wirt McCarty, Carl Ackarman, W.W. Parker, Jim Woodford, Chas. Ise, E.C. Brookins and Hal R. Lebricht.
NEW KIND OF CLUB.
Students Organize Tonight.—Eleven Hash Houses.
The socialist tendency in the University is shown by the organization of a co-operative boarding club which consists of forty members.
Last term twenty men organized a small club at 1214 Kentucky street. They elected W.B. Tribble, a senior pharmacic, as president, and D. Nichol, an engineer, as steward After several weeks of experimenting they succeeded in arranging a bill of fare similar to that of the trainingtable, which satisfied everybody and cost each member only $2.00 per week.
This term two cooks were employed and the membership increased to forty. The success of the venture is best shown by the fact that when twenty new members were wanted, many more than that number presented themselves for membership during the first day after the club voted to increase its numbers. The club will move to new quarters as soon as suitable rooms can be had.
STOCKHOLDERS' NOTICE.

This week is a long drawn out hour of suffering to most students and many wonder if it is real joy to the "profs."
Indications are that the new plans for the KANSAN will run smoothly. Here's hoping that all's lovely.
We wonder if it takes much scratching and clawing over in Missouri to get a Tiger appropriation granted from the legislature.
Colder weather may make the blood thin but the past week has made several "soles" thin to go with 'varsity student's thin blood.
One more week and the old term is over. It is certain that time waits for no one and the blue pencil factories still continue to do business.
The question is—Are there more limbs bruised and bones broken climbing the hill in the winter than there are hearts "——" in the balmy days of spring?
The University of Kansas has and intends to retain the most friendly feelings towards all other institutions in the state. This includes the Baldwin and Topeka colleges.
There is still room for workers on the KANSAN and if there is any one that wants to prove that he or she is willing to work, now is the time to get in on the ground floor before the term is over.
At the meeting of the stockholders of the old WEEKLY, now KANSAN, to be held next Friday, at noon, any questions as regards the new plan will be gladly answered and all information desired will be given.
There is an old story going the rounds that there was never an editor in the history of the University that was not glad when his term on the Weekly was over. This year it has been a semi-weekly.
No one will deny that there could be room for improvement in the basket ball team, but whose fault is it? The men now playing are all good players and only lack a little training. On the other hand there are many other larger men and experienced
players in the University that should get out and make the team.
The University of Missouri asks the Tiger legislature for an appropriation of $878,933. What would the august Kansas fathers think down at Topeka with a bill like that before the house and none of Carrie Nation's weapons around with which to cut it down all at once.
After a heavy snow it is almost impossible for a student to climb the hill to the University without getting a bad fall. Only last week a student fell on the side-walk and cut his knee cap so badly that he was confined to his room for several days. Even when there is no snow the side-walks are so slippery that it is hard work for one to even stand up on the incline.
There is an ordinance compelling property owners to clean their side-walks but it does not seem to be strictly enforced. Thus a person ascending the hill is apt to fall and receive serious injury owing to the negligence of property owners. The University should see that the walks are cleaned or that ashes are sprinkled on the snow so that the people who have to go up the hill two and three times a day are certain they can get up without falling and fracturing any bones.
**MORE SOUR GRAPES.**
The Normal and the College of Emporia, are engaged in a heated editorial controversy as to who is K. U's., friend. With this established there would still remain the question as to which would be better off.-Baker Orange.
"The above is another echo of College Normal discussion which was started by a short article in the K. U. KANSAN. The affair has progressed thus: The KANSAN published an article commenting on the kindly feeling existing between K. U., and C. of E. The College Life quoted it as a thing of interest to the students of C. of E. The Normal Bulletin felt slighted and drew the Normal into the discussion by some comments unfavorable to the College. This comment was answered editorially in the College Life and the trouble stopped for a time. Now the Baker Orange comes out with its comment and the Washburn Review expresses its opinion by publishing the quotation from the Orange.
Baker was never known to let an opportunity slip to say say something mean about K. U. She has taken this chance to cast a stone at her old rival but K. U, doesn't feel bad at all. The old English proverb well says, "Stones and sticks are flung only at fruit-bearing trees." College Life.
NEW BUILDINGS A NECESSITY.
Doubtless a great cry of "extravagance" went up from a part of the population of Kansas when it read the list of appropriations necessary for the University, prepared by Chancellor Strong. Many people may think that $300,000 is an enormous sum to grant to a
school. These people should pay a visit to the University, and they would be convinced that the accommodations are totally inadequate to our absolute needs.
EXAMINATION SIGNS.
Instructors, too, stay up late at night preparing lists of puzzling questions to strike terror to the heart of the innocent undergraduate. Dark hints in the class room telling of the coming conflict between teacher and student in which will be decided whether or not the lordlady will have to put out her "room for rent" sign in a few days.
Twice a year, just after New Year's and immediately before Commencement, the signs of coming examinations are apparent. Many students are forced to accept positions, varying from cashier in "papa's bank" to that of cashing (overcoat) checks in a hotel, on account of certain warnings received from their instructors in regard to the precarious condition of their work. Others who have not as yet received such warnings, but who have uneasy feelings in their hearts, lock themselves in their rooms, after putting "busy day" signs on their doors, and are seen only when they are dashing to or from their classes.
One comes shivering home at 3 o'clock in the morning from an annual Spring party or from a night's coasting, thinking of neglected studies and coming "quizes," his way is illumed by lights gleaming o'er the snow, which comes from numerous upstairs rooms, showing that others, besides himself, will pass with glorious records.

MISS AMBER LAWLORD.
Miss Amber Lawlord, who makes her first appearance as a star in this city at the Bowersock opera house, Tuesday, January 24th, in a new play called an "An American Woman" is perhaps better fitted to portray this ideal character than any other woman at present on the stage. Miss Lawlord comes of one of the foremost Southern families, being a grand-daughter of Amber Tunis, and also connected with the famous Morgans of Kentucky Her home in
Amber Tudorde
Nur American Woman
New York is No. 7 East 33rd street, which has been the scene of many a fashionable gathering at which Miss Lawlord was the hostess. Her ambitions were always in the line of stage endeavor, and as a mere pastime she spent several years abroad under the most famous instructors in this art. While abroad she wrote several sketches and plays which were pronounced good, and she will probably produce them within the next few years. She was formerly of Wilton Lackaye's company in "The Pit."
SIGMA XI MEETING.

He first called attention to the fact that the United States has not only passed all competitors in the production of iron and steel, but that it now produces annually more of these substances than both England and Germany.

She moved alone;
So have I seen a lily flare,
Above its zone.
A tiger lily, bravely bent Against the wind,
(ts colors all from heaven lent,
Superb, refined
By nature's alchemy of tears,
Rebuffs and shocks
Free as the sun of doubts and fears. It patient rocks
Above the croaking multitude
That gnaw below;
Amidst a throng in solitude,
Yet all awlow.
With warmth and color Helpful sign
Still unto me,
I see the tiger lily shine
And it is thee.

JUNIOR-FRESHMAN PARTY.
The Freshman and Junior classes of the University are preparing to give a party together within a tew weeks. They intend to give it in Fraternal Aid hall and restrict it exclusively to members of those classes. It is given that the Freshmen may become better acquainted with the Juniors, for it is thought that on May 5th the latter class may need somebody guards from their younger brethren.

GIRLS MONOPOLIZE.
Prof. F. H. Hodder, professor of American History in the University, spoke in Chapel Friday morning on "College Studies." He introduced many interesting incidents and remarks relative to the student and the college. Among other things he said: "It is too bad that girls are getting a monopoly of the liberal studies.
GIVIL ENGINEERS SHOULD ORGANIZE.
It takes time for an education to grow and it cannot therefore be crowded."
Students should also be careful in the choice of studies as well as in the number of studies.
The electrical engineeres, mechanical engineers and the mining engineers have organizations among themselves; but where are the civil engineers?
Is it that the civil engineers do not take as much interest in their work? There is just as bright a lot of fellows among them as there is in any school in the University, but for some reason they do not hang together.
Eat,drink and be merry at Vic's.
Every fraternity and sorority from the University were photographed at the Squires studio last year. He is the student's photographer.
A civil engineer's society would not only help the seniors and juniors but also the lower classmen. An engineer cannot have too many acquaintances among men in his profession. The more people he knows the better for him and the place to get acquainted is while he is in school. After he graduates he will probably never again have such an opportunity so he should make the best of it now.
After men leave school they scatter. Some may go to Africa, some to South America, some to Alaska; but an occasional letter will keep track of one's friends. It a man has no friends when he leaves school it will be a hard thing to get them out in the world. A society would tend to bring the engineers closer together, and to let each see what the others are doing and thinking about. Take for instance the American Society of Civil Engineers. Engineers from all parts of the country attend its meetings in order to see what other men are doing.
A society could be very easily formed if some one would take the lead. Papers on modern engineering feats, or an interesting subject, could be read and they would help both reader and listener. Let us not waste any more time in talking but get together soon and organize a civil engineering society.-Civil Engineer.

THE KANSAN.
OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
Vol. 1. No. 30.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSA$ , JANUARY 26, 1905.
TRACK NEWS.
Team2Going in to Win From Missouri—If It Is Possible.
The Track Team has been working hard in the Gymnasium this week on the sprints, high jump, pole vault and weights. A padded weight was made and Ackerman may be seen on Tuesday and Thursday on 4:30 and Saturday at 10:00, teaching his squad of men how to send the shot over thirty feet. McCoy is doing good work in this squad. Never before in the history of the University has the track team began so early and so enthusiastically in their work.
Livingstone who played substitute right end is getting well into form for the high jump. Lupham is going up five feet without much practice. More men are needed who can jump high, and there is a chance for some one to get on the team that will battle Missouri in Convention Hall at Kansas City.
A starting rack is being made in the Fowler shops that will be used by the sprinters. There are over a dozen men trying for a place on the splints and good material is on hand. Little can be done in the long distance runs but Bailey is out every night practicing for wind by sprinting and playing basket ball. The mile men have a hard proposition before them. It some long winded Kansan can show the representative of Missouri his back in the finish of the mile run the Jayhawkers will run the athletie meet.
Butler, Wall and McCoy are the only ones who have been practicing in the Gymn. but Foster intends to enter the arena soon. Dr. Naismith and Manager Plank are elated over the prospects and absolutely know that we will win from Missouri.

WAS HERBERT HADLEY'S UNCLE.
Relative of Attorney General Dies at San Diego, Cal.
Olathe, Kas., Jan. 24.-(Special.)—George H. Peach, about 60 years old, and since 1870 a hardware merchant of this city, died at San Diego, Cal. He left here a week ago to spend the remainder of the winter in California, but contracted pneumonia en route. His wife, who accompanied him, will return with the body here for burial. He was a brother of Dr. A.D Beach, who died in this city last November, and an uncle of Herbert S. Hadley, attorney general of Missouri. Mr. Hadley is a Kansas man, and a member of the law class of '92. of the University.
A NIEDRINGHAUS PLEDGE.
To Prevent Further Bolting From the Caucus Nominee.
Jefferson City, Jan. 24-There is in circulation tonight a written pledge in which the Republican members who sign agree to stand by Niedringhaus, the caucus nominee for senator. This pledge of the Niedringbau men is first in the nature of a declaration of principles. It states that Niedringhaus was the caucus nominee for senator and later the houses, in separate sessions, voted for his election, and that he was fairly and honestly elected. The signers then say that for these reasons they have voted for Niedringhaus, and they agree to further vote for and stand by him.

A BLIZZARD IN IOWA.
Des Moines, Ia., Jan., 24. Reports received at the central weather bureau tell of a fierce blizzard sweeping over the northern part of the state. At Mason City the street cars are at a standstill and the railroads entering the town have temporarily abandoned their schedules. It was 6 degrees below zero at this point today.

FINCH ON EDITOR AND HIS POLICY.
Lawrence Editor Delivers Good Common
Sense Lecture.
C. S. Finch, editor of the Lawrence Daily Gazette, and the Jeffersonian Gazette lectured before the newspaper class Monday, on "The Editor and his Policy."
Mr. Finch began his lecture by saying; "I might lecture to you every day in the four years of your course here on the theory of newspaper work and you would still be ignorant of the practical part of the work." "The place to learn newspaper work is by the editor's desk in the newspaper office." Mr. Finch took every one of his listeners into his confidence and taught them from "the editors' desk."
In speaking of the editors' policy he said, "There is a great difference between the politics of a newspaper and its policy." "The editor of a small paper should have the courage to put forth his own convictions. However the great metropolitan news paper is an absolute machine."
"The editorial writer must write well whatever opinions are laid before him."
Mr. Finch thinks that the editorial page is being crowded out of the great newspapers because the American citizen of today is able to weigh the facts in hand and form his own opinions. He said, "In the days of Horace Greely the editorial page of the New York Tribune swayed public opinion. Today if an editor writes editorials on any political question for an evening paper he will scarcely be able to reach his office the next morning on account of the men who are waiting to convince him that his opinions are wrong.
Mr. Finch commented upon many of the Kansas dailies and brought out their best points. "The Atchison Globe holds the first place among the state dailies,' he said, "Col. Murdock of the Wichita Eagle is so fearless and puts forth his convictions so clearly and honestly that he has never been able to become governor of Kansas and perhaps never will.
"I thought many years ago that I had discovered the way to make the editorial column popular again, and that was by the paragraph editorial. I gave myself up to training along that line and what little success I have had has been on that account. But the paragraph editorial to win attention must have in it some thought, some dominant idea which will appear to the reader.

K. U. VICTORIOUS.
First Basket Ball Game Ends Well.
In the first basket ball game of the season, played last Friday night in the University Gymnasium, between the State Normal and University teams, the University team won easily with a score of 46-11.
The game was never in doubt from the time the whistle blw until the close. It was well played, with good clean work on the part of both teams. The team work of the visitors was somewhat defective while that of the University boys showed good form. The management now proposes to take the team on a weeks trip through Iowa and Nebraska, the details of which have not been arranged The line up of the teams Friday night was:
NORMAL. K. 6.
L. S. Harper, ... L. F...Bliss
C. Roberts, R. ... F...Barlow
L Jackson, ... C...W. Miller

MORE TROUBLE FOR CZAR.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 24.—Cossacks, while dispersing a crowd of strikers at 4 o'clock this afternoon, drew their swords and wounded several men.
Sensational, but unconfirmed rumors are in circulation that the prefect of St. Petersburg has been assassinated and that he will be succeeded by General Trepoff, the former chief of police of Moscow. It is also reported, but unconfirmed, that the chief of police of St. Petersburg has been assassinated.
KANSAS MAY PLAY MICHIGAN.
Favorable Correspondence From Four Big Schools.
Manager Plank has received the most favorable communications from "big nine" teams that he has received since his office as manager of athletics was created. Four letters that import good tidings from Michigan, Northwestern, Indiana University and Wisconsin.
A letter was also received from Drake University stating that it would be most agreeable to meet Kansas the coming season on the gridiron.
M'chigan and Northwestern simply want to have Kansas come to their respective fields and ask what is the best offer that Managor Plank can make. Wisconsin wants the Jayhawkers to come to Madison if a game is arranged but Manager Plank wants the game played in Kansas City.
With the favorable letters it seems very probable that Kansas will have some of the best teams on the schedule next year that a Kansas schedule ever embraced.

This is a strenuous week for the University. Final quizzes on and the appropriation bill slated to come up in the legislature! What a relief when both are over.
The Kansas City Star prints the following: Columbia has an eccentric character who collects hair pins, gum and powder rags by snatching the pocket books of Missouri University girls." Here's hoping that that character will not come to Lawrence. [Signed by the girls.]
Why not get some new bunting for the chapel balcony railing? It is a good enough idea to have it up there but some more presentable cloth should be used and some attention should be given to the way it is hung. At present the cloth is not only old and ragged, but hangs in a very slovenly manner. It is an eyesore to the chapel visitors.
It is to be hoped that the legislature will realize the necessity of the appropriations asked for by the Chancellor. The University of Kansas is almost alone in the fact that it has to beg and plead for state appropriations, and the only cause of this is the ignorance of the Kansas citizens as to the magnitude and importance of this institution. For this reason let every student and Kansas University supporter establish himself as a sort of information bureau and tell his friends when he writes home what we really have and need down here. Most important of all, however, if you have a friend or acquaintance who is sitting in the legislature, be sure and not let him do the voting in blissful ignorance of what it all means to us. Now is your last chance.
Prominent educators are of the opinion that within the next decade, somewhere in the middle west, will grow a pre-eminently great University, and each of a half dozen states is now making the most strenuous efforts to become the seat of this great school. Chancellor Strong voiced the sentiment of every loyal Kansan when he said: "This institution must be Kansas University; it CAN'T be any other." It should be Kansas, by all means. There is no better location, there are no more favorable surroundings. But whether or not this University becomes the Harvard or the
Yale of the west, depends largely upon the attitude of the state legislature for the next few years. This year Missouri University is asking for nearly nine hundred thousand dollars for the next biennum, while Kansas has asked only about three hundred thousand dollars for the same time. This is a fair illustration of the efforts in this direction in other states. Unless buildings and equipments are provided as fast as needed, students will go elsewhere than to Kansas, and our chance for relative greatness will be gone.
DR. SNOW ON THE BIBLE.
Ex-Chancellor F. H. Snow lectured to the young men of the University Sunday afternoon on "The Unity of Truth."
He said that formerly there was the opinion that scientific truth conflicted with Biblical truths, but now all these truths are known to have the same meaning. When speaking of the age of the earth and the time consumed in bringing it to its present state, he said, "God made the earth in his own way, and not in man's way." Dr. Snow does not believe that Biblical stories are to be taken literally.
NEW GYM PLANS.
Dr. Naismith has had the plans for the new gymnasium drawn and they are now ready for presentation to the legislature.
Oysters fresh from Baltimore at Vic's.
DYCHE'S LECTURE.
Prof. L. L. Dyche in his lecture to the Zoology class in Snow Hall, Friday, on "Migration of Animals" related some interesting incidents in regard to his Arctic expeditions. Among other things that he experienced was that he never saw so many birds in his life as he saw in northern Greenland.
AN OLD K. U. STAR.
"Pete" Allen, who attended the University last year and who was a star athlete is playing a very fast game of basket ball with the Kansas City Athletic club. This team is the star team of the West and "Pete" is probably the star on the team.
In the game against the Haskell Indians "Pete" threw more free goals than any three players on either team. He has an underhanded throw that is hard to block and he also has a left handed throw which generally puts the ball in the basket.
The University Glee club will have "big doin's" in Praternal Aid Hall, Friday evening. February 24. The nature of the entertainment has not yet been disclosed, but it will be something not yet attempted in Lawrence by way of amusement and entertainment; so say those who know.

COMPARES FRAZIER TO A PRISON.
Prot. F. W. Blackmar lectured in Blake Hall Monday.
University Professor Scores University Architecture
His subject was "Civic Art,' which is that in parks, public buildings, and in the artistic plan of cities as a whole.
He spoke of the location and grouping of our buildings. In regard to the beauty of design of the different buildings he spoke of Frazier hall as prison like, the Library stunted, Snow Hall lacks a good location, Fowler shops, he spoke of as really artistic, also the Museum from a distance, the new Court House would be more artistic if its yard were larger. The Carnegie Library has a good plan, if carried out in a larger building.
He closed his address by giving a picture of Festival Hall at the World's Fair, as the ideal of using Nature to advantage.
SNOW ELECTS OFFICERS.
Snow literary elected the following officers for the spring term, last Saturday evening; R. L. Douglas, President; Guy Duer, vice-president; Miss Gant, secretary; Chester Ramsey, treasurer; W. D. Kenny, sergeant-at-arms; Harry Heinzman, assist-sergeant-at-arms. Miss Miles and F. H. Hartman, the retiring president, were elected to serve on the program committee with the secretary, Miss Gant, who is an ex-officio member.
The new officers will serve until April, when under the new constitution, officers will be elected who will continue their duties until next November.
The regular meeting next Saturday night will be omitted on account of the stress of quiz week.

Bender the Nebraska football wonder has signed a base ball contract with Little Rock for next season, and Nebraska has been a little uneasy ever since about the effect it will have on their team next spring. Bender means as much to them in base ball as on the gridiron. But as he has accepted no salary but has merely sighed a contract for the future, it is thought that it will not hurt his amature standing.
STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING.
All KANSAN subscribers are requested to be present at the stockholders' meeting to be held in the chapel Friday at 12:15, to pass upon the prepared plan of reorganization. Part of the business to come before this meeting will require a majority vote of all stockholders, hence a large attendance will be necessary. Some very interesting questions are to come up.
TOPEKA LETTER.
Practically all the members went home over Sunday. The most of them feel that they must devote some time to their private affairs. They were anxious enough to come here but they also want to keep their home affairs in shape so that they can make a living.
The most important bill up for consideration so far this session has been the franchise bill offered by Mr. Hackney. Since the LaHarpe decision the cities of the second class have been in a precarious condition. However that will be remedied at once and the mayor and council will have the authority the people always supposed they had to control the streets and alleys.
There is a diminution of place hunting. Of course there are a few persistents hanging around but the majority have gone home. It took some time to adjust the members to the new order of things. It was hard for a member whose district had four places two years ago, not to be able to get one this year. He was afraid it would cripple his influence. Members are mightily afraid of what the home folks say. That is, most of them are, Mr. Haackney is not. In this connection I want to tell an old story about Col. Haackney which is illustrative of the man. In the boom times he built a fine business block in Winfield and in the exuberance of his pride he put his initials, "W. P. H." on the centerpiece at the top on an elaborate emblem. After the boom broke and such things became monuments of folly, an Englishman visited Winfield and was being shown the sights. Col. Haackney showed him his big building and 1st him admire it in silence. The Englishman looked long at and then said, "Col. Haackney ah, doneherno, that is a deeeded fine building but what in the deuce does W. P. H. stand for on the top where the British Lion ought to be?" "That," replied the famous citizen, "stands for 'William Played Hell.'" He has not played any in the Legislature but there has been great fear lost he have an outbreak and if he does the china will be broken.
The new members who knew so much at first know a good deal less now and are much less in evidence. These fellows had figured on coming to Topeka and running things from the start. They found some heavy weights perched upon the throttle and they would not allow anything to be moved. The new members may get together later and do something for themselves but so far the old fellows have had things pretty much their own way. This has been true because they have not abused their power.
Stubbs is not in the chair much but he has his finger on the business of the house. 'He has a smile for every body but he is business all of the time and goes on the theory that the least work of the speaker is to preside. He can afford to leave the chair when such a man as Judge Clark takes it.
There are of course too many bills before the Legislature but most of them are local. There ought not to be so much local Legislation, the people ought to live under general laws. The committee on judiciary is going to take up the collateral inheritance bill this evening. This bill is designed to help the University and harm no one. As the state has to appropriate just so much money anyway it really does not make much difference into which fund this money goes. The state Agricultural college has an endowment of $65,000 and the state normal has something like $20,- 000 while the state University has only $7,500.
The bill before the Legislature giving the title of the islands in the rivers to the state University was prepared by the attorney general. The title had to be vested somewhere and the attorney general thought the University was as good a place as any. Dr. Glaseock, a most valuable member, is pushing the medicinal school bill and he believes it will be passed. No opposition has developed for it so far. It does not carry an appropriation.
Nothing definite has as yet been done on a tax bill but serious consideration is going to be given one. Also the elections committee is expected to report a primary election law that will meet the requirements. Much anxiety attends the action of this committee as every man with political aspirations is holding them in abeyance until this committee and some law is enacted. The platform pledges it and the people demand it but the politicians will have to make a readjustment when the bill passes. Every man is careful now not to have a boom for anything until this matter is disposed of.
The Price raid claims interest a good many Lawrence and Douglas county people. It is hard to forecast what will be done about these claims. They ought to have been paid long ago but for some reason they are not receiving serious attention. The last Legislature by a make-shift spent $5,000 to shove them off onto this one and now it is up to an economical Legislature to make a big appropriation to pay them off. The claims are just and ought to be paid but I would not advise anyone having a claim to contract any meat bills on the strength of having them paid this session.
The ways and means committee of the senate will take up the University appropriations on Wednesday night The University has been asked to make its showing on that night. It will do so.
TO RESUME ATHLETIC RELATIONS WITH NEBRASKA.
Prominent students have been very active during the past week working up sentiment in favor of resuming athletic relations with Nebraska if any sort of terms honorable to Kansas can be arranged with the Corn husker association. A petition has been circulated this week which will be presented to the athletic board, urging it to take steps in this direction.
Nebraska and Kansas are logical opponents, and there is no reason for cherishing petty spite and declaring everything off.
We ought to have debate as well as athletic contests with Nebraska, and its up to Kansas to make the overtours.

The student of men and measures finds much to occupy his mind in the revolutionary movements which are in progress. And the Russian peasantry revolution is not the only one of importance, either. We have forces at work in our own country that are as revolutionary in their character as are the slavonic disturbances. Not that they are bloody or anarchistic in any sense, for they are not. But the astounding disclosures of boodle and corruption that have been made all over the country mingled with the universal demands for purer government, bespeak an inevitable conflict between the two forces. Upon the decision of this problem depends the future of the United States in her relation to the world. If America remains strong within, she will some day be the leader of the world. University students can well afford to give a little time to the consideration of such matters as these, for as the public speaker is want to say, "Upon them depends the future of the state and of the nation."
