THE KANSAN. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS VOLUME II. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 3, 1906. WON THE CUP CAPTAIN DRISCOLL SAVED THE TROPHY. The K. U. track team defeated Missouri in the relay race at the K. C.A. C. Handicap meet last night, and won the silver loving cup which was the trophy of that event. The team scored six points in the general contest which the K.C.A.C.won easily. Manager Lansdon is well pleased over the record of the boys last night. The team won the relay race, first in the pole vault and third in the 440. The Missouri men won the mile race Russel Broke the Record in the Pole Vault---Track Men Are Jubilant. K CAPTAIN DRISCOLL. and third in the half mile. In the regular events where all the clubs were allowed to enter contestants Kansas won 6 points Missouri 6 and Nebraska $13\frac{1}{2}$. The greatest surprise of the evening and the event over which the most enthusiasm was shown was the relay between our team and the Tiger team. Tidd of Missouri got the pole and started the race with Commons gaining about 15 yards in the two laps. Dennis lost about 10 more for Kansas and Wallace held his man about even. With 25 yards in the lead Ellis of Missouri started for the last two laps against Captain Dris- (Continued on page 4.) K. U. VS. STATE NORMAL. This May Be Last Game of the Season. NUMBER 44 The game with Washburn Wednesday night put the University team in good form, after the wear and tear of their long trip. The game tonight will show them in their old time form—the form that beat Nebraska, with the team work that held the admiration of all the eastern teams who saw them play. Since the game with Baker is somewhat in doubt, this will probably be the last game of the season, and the students should show their appreciation of our first champion basket ball team by liberal patronage. Tonight the University five will meet the men from the State Normal in the gymnasium in the second intercollegiate basket ball game played on the home court. Since their defeat at the hands of our boys early in the season the Normalites have been strengthened by changes in the team, and unless all signs fail the game tonight will be a fast and exciting one. PHI BETA KAPPA BANQUET. Sixty-five Guests Attended Initiation Last Night. The annual banquet and initiation of the Phi Beta Kappas was held last night at the Presbyterian church. The dinner of five courses was served at 6 o'clock. About seventy-five guests were expected but only sixty-five were present. The seventeen members were initiated and seven of them responded to toasts. The speakers were: Dean Frank O. Marvin, toastmaster; Georgia Pilcher, Grace Smith, Benjamin Stelter, Mrs. Florence Hodder, Grace McKnight, Prof. L. E. Sisson, Margarethe von Unwerth, Hedwig Berger, John F. Bender and U. G. Mitchell. Alumni members present were Ida McKnight, Edward S. Cowdrick and Geo. M. Sherrard all of Topeka. The band men met in the chapel this morning and began practice for the Convention Hall track meet. Manager Lansdon will take the band to stir up enthusiasm.

The base ball team will start on their southesn trip March 19 will be away until the third of April. During this time they will play some of the best professional and amater teams in the South. Thirteen men will make the trip-eight fielders, three pitchers, coach and manager. The schedule of the trip is as follows: Wichita Western Association, March 20; Friends University, March 21; Chilocco Indians, March 22; Oklahoma University, March 23 and 24; Galveston,Texas,League, March 28; Texas Agricultural College, March 29; Texas University, March 30 and 31; Southwest Kansas College, April 2; State Normal, April 3. FIVE CENT ENTERTAINMENTS. An Assessment of $2.00 Would Make Events Cost Five Cents. A meeting of class presidents was held yesterday afternoon to discuss the advisibility of a general student assessment. Manager Lansdon says he can furnish 10 foot ball games, 10 basket ball games, 10 base ball games and 4 track meets for $2400 from students. Dean Skilton estimated that $300 would support the musical organizations and assure 6 concerts each year. An assessment of two dollars would raise $3000 and this would leave $300 for debating. The same committee will meet Manager Lansdon, Dean Skilton, and Dr. Carruth on Monday to discuss the question further. Sigma Xi Elects. The faculty members of the Sigma Xi honorary fraternity of the University of Kansas met last night and elected six new members to the scientific order. To become a member of the Sigma Xi fraternity a student must do some scientific research work and reach a certain degree of scholarship in his studies. The newly elected members were: Professor F. W. Bushong as a faculty member; Richard E. Scammon, graduate member and special student in zoology; senior members, Ira J. Adams, electrical engineer; Frank F. Rupert, research work in chemistry; Mabel Davis, special work in mathematics; U. G. Mitchell, special work in mathematics. KANSAS WINS EASILY DEFEATED WASHBURN WEDNESDAY NIGHT. Washburn Could Not Locate Baskets----Hope Washburn's Star----A Good Turnout =A Good Turnout. Kansas outplayed Washburn Wednesday evening in the gymnasium and won by the one sided score of 39 to 12. This was the first opportunity afforded to the public of seeing the Missouri Valley champions play, and the seating capacity of the "bleachers" was taxed to the limit. No doubt can exist but that Kansas has a wonderful team. Their team work was fine and the ball was passed with unusual accuracy. Allen was the star as usual but Siler was a close second, getting six field goals. Washburn has evidently been playing upon a floor with higher ceiling, as many of their long throws coincided with the ceiling. They passed the ball well enough but their goal throwing was very poor. Millice, the big football player, must have imagined a football game was in progress, and made numberless fouls. He almost precipitated a fight, when he floored "Fog" Allen in a rather crude fashion during the first half. Hope is Washburn's best man. While not a spectacular player he made most of Washburns points. The line up: KANSAS KANSAS G. Ft. F. W. Miller 5 7 1 Allen 2 1 1 Siler 6 0 2 M. Miller 1 0 2 Johnson 2 0 1 — — — WASHBURN. G. Ft. F.

One year ago the Kansan adopted the merit system of selecting the members of its editorial staff, and the present character of the paper attests the success of the plan. It is but fair to the administration which ended with the last issue to say that the Kansan has been the most representative paper the University has had for years. It is but justice to say that it has been, on the whole, fair and free from partisanship. The new management finds no enemies to placate, and can turn its attention to more vital matters. It shall be the aim of the present editor to be strictly nonpartisan in his attitude toward all University affairs. He has no sore spots to nurse, and no political obligations to pay. It is his expectation to champion what seems to him to be right in all affairs of public interest to the University, without favor to any faction. Any mistakes will be of judgment and not of intention. The best interests of the University, first, last and all the time, is the one and only pledge the Kansan makes for the coming year. Are you willing to pay two or three dollars to attend all the University events next year? There has been a plan in the air all year looking toward a general student assessment to support University organizations, and it is now being pushed in all the classes. Such an assessment would support not only athletics better than the present scheme, but would leave far more for debates and for musical and dramatic events than they now draw from the students. The assessment must be voluntary, and would depend wholly upon the good faith of the students for its success. It would, however, insure a higher standard in our musical and dramatic organizations. It is worth thinking about. The columns of the Kansan will be open at all times to any reasonable discussion of student affairs. If you have an idea or a grievance tell us about it. The editor of a college ex change confesses as follows: Editing a college paper is a nice thing. If we publish jokes people say we are rattle-headed. If we don't, we are fossils. If we publish original matter, they say we don't give them enough selections, they say we are too lazy to write. If we write an occasional story with any reference to Cupid in it, we are fussers. If we ignore the coeds, we are woman-haters. If we remain at the office, we ought to be out looking for news items. If we go out, then we are not attending to business. If we wear old clothes, they laugh at us. If we wear good clothes, they say we have a graft. Now what are we to do? Just as likely as not someone will say we stole this from an exchange. So we did. "Professor, may we have a little more air," said the fair coed. "Hot or cold," he asked facetiously. "Cold for a change" the fair one replied, for it was a lecture course.

The results of the basket ball season to date show a marked change in the standing of the game as a college sport. Manager W.C.Lansdon has made a financial success of the basket ball season so far,to say nothing of the glory and pleasures accorded the University and the team by their victories and trip. In addition to the winning of the Missouri Valley championship our boys scored a total of 318 points to 248 points made by opposing teams. Although six out of the eleven Who Said Gentle Spring?

Red 30 Bell games played were lost it was not due to the fact that any of the teams were superior to ours. The first games of the series were won, and the teams played last were none that K. U. could not have easily beaten at any time when the boys were not worn out. Nebraska gave the boys fine treatment and stirred up enthusiasm for the game by putting the Kansas crowd on the rostrum at chapel, while the professors made speeches telling of the "Kansas Sunflowers" and the students yelled themselves hoarse. At Iowa a dance was given the boys after the game. Four days were spent in Chicago, study and sight-seeing being the order in the day time with a game every night. The return trip began Monday morning and ended with rough games played at Muscatine, Iowa, Monday night and at Fairfield Tuesday night. Both these games were lost, the first by a score of 43 to 19, and the last 42 to 39. To win half of the games on a trip of such length and against strong teams is doing as well as could be expected of any team. The farther east one goes the rougher the game is played, and the smaller is the number of fouls called. The Chicago teams play rough ball, and their umpire Hynes, who is said to be the best official in basket ball in Chicago, said that the games with Kansas were the cleanest he had ever seen in a long time. Our boys report them the roughest played this year. Try a "Sunset Surprise" at Vic's Ice cream any style at Vic's. Clothes cleaned, repaired and pressed $1.50 per month. Phone 506. 12 W.

Missionary representatives from the various foreign fields of the world were present numbering about four hundred in all. Special to the Kansan. The key-note of the Convention was expressed in the motto: "The evangelization of the world in this generation." It is the largest students convention that has ever met for religious purposes. The Kansas State University delegation led the Kansas representation. The speakers of the first session were: John R. Mott, General Secretary of the Volunteer Movement, and Robert E. Speer secretary of the Presbyterian Foreign Board of Missions. These men held the attention of their five thousand listeners so closely that one could almost hear a pin drop. In later sessions the principal speakers were noted men of Great Britan and Germany.

From the very start Driscoll filled up the gap and at the first corner of the last gap the Jayhawker captain "cut across" for the pole and at the finish was 10 yards ahead of the Missouri. Driscoll also took second in the first heat on the 50 yard sprint and third in the 440. In neither of these events did Missouri take a place. Russell won first in the pole vault at 10 feet 9 inches. This height breaks the K. U. record made by Whipple in 1903 which has stood at 10 feet, $ 8 \frac {1}{2} $ inches for the last three years. In this event Russell won over Hogensick of Nebraska, who has an out door record of 11 feet 6 inches. Missouri did not enter in the pole vault. Putman put the shot 39 ft.3 inches, but owing to a two feet handicap was only credited 37 ft., 3 inches. McCoy ran in the half mile but failed to win a place. From the showing made last night, our team will have at least a good chance to win the meet on the 16th against the Tigers. The pole vault, quarter mile, 50 yard dash and relay race will be cinched for the Jayhawkers. While the mile, half-mile, shot put will be just as sure events for the Tigers. Of the other events Jackson of Missouri will win the two mile and Parker will win the high jump for Kansas. In the hurdles neitheir team claims a sure thing. Death of Violet Cornelison.

"Martial law governs territory under army while military law governs army and those with army," he explained reading several articles of war from the revised statutes and several different laws from the manuel. "Article 67," he said, "called 'Devil's article,' is a catch for all offences." At the close of his lecture he gave opportunity for asking questions. Grape cider at Vics.

The basis to work on as outlined last evening is to give the athletic department 80 per cent;the orchestra $ _{3/4} $ per cent;mandolin club,if changed to a faculty management $ _{3/4} $ per cent;glee club $ _{2/4} $ per cent;debating $ _{5/4} $ per cent and the band 5 per cent. Professor Carruth said that he was in favor of having a faculty man to instruct the band and that that department of music be brought to a higher basis. The freshman class took the first step to show their feeling about the assessment plan, and pledged themselves unanimously to support it. NUMBER 45 CHANCELLOR STRONG AWAY. Is at the Battle Creek Sanitarlum for a Few Weeks. Chancellor and Mrs. Strong went to Wichita the first of the week and will remain there for several weeks. Dr. Strong will be at the Battle Creek Sanatarium at that place and will have the best of care and diet. While he is now well on the way to recovery, it will be several weeks before he will give any attention to University business. Dr. Bnrdick Away. Dr. W. L. Burdick was called to New York the first of the week by a telegram announcing the death of his father. If nothing unforeseen happens he hopes to resume his duties on the hill next Monday. Miss Owens Returns. Miss Minnie Owens returned Monday from a thousand miles concert tour through northern Kansas and southern Nebraska. She was a reciter for the Bissing Concert Company. The company had a very successful tour. NORMALS WERE EASY. Teachers Were Defeated 60 to 13 Baker Game March 19. The result of the basket ball game in the gymnasium last Saturday night between the University five and the team from the Emporia State normal was a decisive victory for K. U. At the end of the forty minutes playing time the score stood 60-13 in our favor in spite of the efforts of the Normal boys. The game although one-sided was fast and was made so by the swift teamwork of the University boys. The ball was carried down the entire length of the field many times and a goal made without a Normal player being able to get near it. The Normalites missed many chances at goals and were decidedly lax in team work. The boys took defeat gracefully and showed a spirit that some members of other teams would do well to imitate. The referee's decisions were fair. Referee, Turner. Umpire, Davis. The line up was as follows: g ft e f Allen f 10 6 5 W.Miller, f 4 0 1 Siler, c 2 0 0 M.Miller, g 3 0 1 Johnson, g 8 0 2 Total, 2769 g f t e e Elmore 0 0 0 Partridge, 2 1 3 Shuey, f 1 0 0 Hargis, c 2 0 3 Wells, g 0 0 0 Cowan, g 1 0 4 King, g 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 The last basket ball game of the season will be played in the gymnasium on Monday evening, March 19, when Baker will battle with K.

Although the sky was over cast and a stiff north wind was blowing,over thirty-five men were out Monday on McCook for the first regular practice of the coming season. Owing to the rawness, little was done toward developing the men outside of batting and some fielding. The majority demonstrated their ability to catch the ball in the out field without any difficulty and the picking of the team will depend on the batting ability of the individual players. The last years men in the infield are sure of their places and the chief competition will be for the out field. Brown, who played year before last will stand the best chance of getting a place and Hoffman the hard hitting pitcher will probably be used in the out garden, when not needed in the box. He was the best batter on the team last year and is a fielder of rare ability. Ahlborn, a south paw, looks good for a place. The pitching staff will be strong this year. Morgan, Jones, Taylor and Meade are all high class slab artists and at least three of them will make good. The early southern trip will necessitate much hard practice but the present inclement weather will postpone work for two or three days. On Friday, March 16th, the Sophomore class will hold its fourth and last open party in the F. A. A.Hall. Tickets will be 75 cents. St. Patrick's Party. Minnesota defeated Iowa in debate last week on the same question which Kansas will debate with Iowa in April. Minnesota had the negative, the same side that Iowa will defend in our debate with her. Rates to students will be held open by the Morris Studio a short time. This is a chance to get fine photos at less than half price and many have taken advantage of it. 829 Mass.

KANSAN ELECTS ROY MOORE IS THE MANAGING EDITOR. Two Freshmen Were Elected to Board----The Merit System Works Well. The Kansan board, in regular session Monday, elected Roy R. Moore managing editor for the coming year. He is a junior in the College and has been on the board since March, 1905. He had charge of football news through the last season, and the excellence of his work won him the second position on the editorial staff. The committee in charge of the spring term competition recommended Ward H. Coble of Kansas City, Mo., and C. A. Clay of Nickerson, Kansas, for election to the board. The recommendation was accepted unanimously. Both are freshmen in the College and have been writing University news for the Lawrence papers all year. The merit system has been in operation for a year, and every member now on the board was chosen by its regulations. Student Volunteers are Back. The University representatives to the International Convention of Student Volunteers, which was held at Nashville last week returned last night. They report the meeting a great success and well worth the time and expense of the long trip. Some of the southern delegates could not understand the significance of the sunflower emblem of the University delegates, and inquired curiously about the meaning of "those daisies the Kansans are wearing." The University delegates to the conference will make a formal report at a joint meeting of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. in chapel next Sunday at 4 o'clock. All students are invited to attend the meeting. Congressman Scott was surprised to find a large number of University students to greet him in North Lawrence the other night. Mr. Scott has a warm spot in his heart for the hill and expressed his pleasure at seeing so many of the students out to hear him.

Soph-"Varsity basket ball. Would you like to pay five cents to see a good football game? A general assessment would mean larger crowds at all athletic events, musical programs, debates, etc. Large crowds mean enthusiasm, and enthusiasm means success. The Stubbs-Allen-Scott controversy is stirring up as sharp a factional fight among University Republicans as any where in the district. The young politicians are out for a scrap. In connection with the political enthusiasm that is rife at present, it would be well to remember that it is a queer civic conscience that will allow a young man to help pack a local primary, when he has no idea of giving up his former residence. Captain Driscoll of the track team wears a perpetual smile since the K. C. A. C. meet. He is not the only one that is feeling cheerful over the prospects. Kansas will send a splendid team to Kansas City, March 16, and Missouri will get a run for her money. In the report of the Washburn game in our last issue, a mistake was made in crediting the proper person with goals made. The five field and seven free goals given to W. Miller should have been credited to Allen and the two given to Allen should have been credited to Miller. Why not adopt Professor Carruth's suggestion and have a student's day in chapel when they could voice their sentiments in reference to some of the "don't likes," that are most dear to their hearts. We hope that Professor Carruth's suggestions will be adopted by the chapel committee. Did you ever see a fellow walking up the street with a young lady, and punctuating his conversation by expectorating on the sidewalk, or by rolling his cigarette from one side of his face to the other? Of course you have. And didn't it make you sore? It should, at any rate. Smoking is no disgrace, but a gentleman would know that it is not always in order. Why don't the girls insist on proper respect for themselves? Important Language Lectures. Professor Francis W. Kelsey, head of the Latin department of the University of Michigan, has been secured for the conference of foreign languages which will be held at the University April 21, the day following the High School Field Meet. Professor Kelsey will be remembered by University people through his lecture on "Pompeii and St. Pierre" delivered here Feb. I0. He is one of the two or three most widely known Classical teachers in this country and the author of many Latin text books. Professor Kelsey will give a popular lecture on Friday morning April 20 at 11 o'clock. On Saturday morning he will take a prominent part in the discussion of all Latin topics that come before the conference. Letters have been sent out to the language teachers throughout the state asking them to submit to the committee topics which they would like to have discussed under the leadership of Professor Kelsey at that time.

Wilcox, of the Greek department, scored some shortcomings of the University in chapel yesterday morning under the head of "Things I don't like." He did not beat about the bush, but went directly to the point and said several things that are well worth thinking about. "Some things I don't like to see are, in the first place, vacant seats in chapel, whether among the students or on the platform," said the professor. "Neither do I like to see young men smoking about the steps of Fraser Hall. In fact I don't think they should smoke on the hill at all, and above all things not when walking with a young lady. "Another thing I don't like is the fact that our fraternities are so much given to cultivate the social side of their life to the exclusion of the real fraternal, helpful side which should be foremost. I don't like to see our parties entirely devoted to dancing; that is not my idea of a party which should include music, conversation and dancing. I don't like mid-week parties and I don't like to see the students neglect their religious and philosophical studies nor get in the habit of staying away from church services." Fruit of all kinds at Vic's. German Department Pictures. The pictures recently bought for the German department are of especial interest, owing to the fact that no originals have ever been made. They are known as the Artist's Lithograph. Instead of painting the picture, the artist prepares the "stone" or impression, and produces the picture from that. Professor Carruth bought a collection of thirteen while at the St. Louis Fair. They picture in an interesting way German myths, historical scenes and landscapes. The two most interesting ones are: The surrender of Napoleon III to Bismark at the close of the FrancoPrussian War and "Gudrun am Meeresstrande." Thus far only nine have been framed. Sophs to Play 'Varsity. The sophomore basket ball team, the champions of the basket ball tournament, will play the 'Varsity on Friday evening.

Innes, Bullene & Hackman FRATERNITY DEBATE APRIL 13 Five Fraternities Will Contest-- They Will Debate Iowa Question. Arrangements for the InterFraternity debate for the Ewing Herbert cup have been completed and announced by Prof. E.G.Frazier, head of the department of Public Speaking. The debate will be held in the chapel on April 13th. Only five fraternities have entered this year. Their representatives and the order of speakers will be as follows: Alpha Tau, J. F. Brett; Sigma Chi, Arthur Relihan; Phi Gamm, Geo. Thatcher Guernsey Jr.; Sig Alph, Theo, Alford; Phi Psi, Bernard L. Sheridan. The speakers will alternate affirmative and negative in the order chosen. The subject will be the Iowa question. Paul Wall, of the Sigma Chi, won the debate last year. If any fraternity wins the cup for three years in succession it becomes the permanent property of that fraternity. "The Sophomore." The "Sophomore" committee finds that in general, the plan of "The Sophomore" is not very well known. As announced once before, it will be a formal dance given by '08 to entertain '06, similar, as far as the Seniors are concerned, to the Junior Prom. The date is April 27th. In this affair, Senior Laws are counted as Seniors, and Middle Laws who are second year men, are counted Sophomores. The committee would be greatly aided if both Seniors and Sophomores would make dates immediately. The affair will be strictly Senior-Sophomore. German in Sunday School. The University department of the Methodist Sunday school has a novelty in form of a German class. Just at present it has over thirty members. They sing German songs, and discuss the lesson in the same language. Mr. Bahner is the instructor. See the $2.50 half cabinet pictures with K. U. mounts. Squires Studio. Tunnel To Gymnasium.

KANSAN DAY REPRESENTATIVES SPEAK IN CHAPEL. For the first time in nearly two years representatives of a University paper appeared in chapel yesterday morning to discuss the paper before the whole University. Professor E. M.Hopkins of the English department, who has done more than any one else to bring the University paper to a proper standard, J.W.Kayser, the retiring editor, and R.L.Douglas, the new editor, were the speakers. Outline Position and Condition of Paper---J. W. Kayser Gives Interesting History. Professor Hopkins' remarks dealt with the growth of journalism in Kansas University. In speaking of the earlier journalism of the University, he said: "The college newspaper men of that time felt little if any more restraint in their public converse than in that of their halls and boarding places. The fact that an outside public might be inclined to regard a college paper as an index to the kind of training they were receiving in college had apparently never entered their heads." He summed up his idea of what a student publication should be by saying: "I mean that it should be a newspaper and a good one, with all that that implies: all that is good in any newspaper, with special adaptation to the particular public for which a university newspaper is published." He then gave a plain statement of the support the Kansan had received from the faculty and student body and of the work which the newspaper students were doing to make the paper a success and urged the college public to give them the encouragement which they merited financially and otherwise. Dr. Carruth then introduced J. W. Kayser, editor of the Kansan during the past year. He gave an account of University publications, which follows: NUMBER 46 The University had been running for only a few years when an aspiring youth by the name of William Osborn, now a teacher in Cincinnati, Ohio, decided that he thought the University was sadly in need of a guiding and directing agency. He issued his sheet monthly in magazine form and called it the "Observer of Nature." It lasted two years. In September of '78 the first number of the Kansas Collegiate Monthly was issued. Its first editor was C. S. Gleed, now the well known lawyer of Topeka. His successor was W. H. Carruth. The Collegiate was devoted to the interests of the Oread society. A rival to the Collegiate, called the Courier and the organ of the Orophilion society was started during that year but it only lived for a few months. In April of '78 the University Pastime devoted to athletics and news was started by E. C. Meservy, now a prominent lawyer of Kansas City. It was Meservy that gave the University a holiday by sending a fake telegram to the Chancellor Marvin, announcing the death of regent Ingalls of Atchison. The Chancellor hurried to Atchison to be present at the funeral but was surprised to find Regent Ingalls alive and well and enjoying himself at a church social. The Kansas Collegiate was succeeded by the Kansas Review in the fall of '79. Among its editors were W. H. Carruth and C. F. Scott, now running for congress in the second district, the late W. C. Spangler, E. C. Little and Pliny Soper. Mr. Carruth certainly intended to become an editor,for there isn't a paper that existed during his college course but what he was either editor of it or next in line for the editorship. In 1882 a faction pulled off from the Review and started the Courier, devoted to the interests of the non-fraternity students. The Courier continued until 1884, when it was changed to the Weekly University Courier. This date marks an epoch in K.U. journalism, being the advent of the first weekly. Twenty years from that date, 1904, the semi-weekly Kansan was started. P.C.Preston was editor and W.Y.Morgan, now of Hutchinson, business manager of the Courier. The Weeekly Courier ran until 1895, eleven years—the longest life any paper has had at the University. Some of the editors during this period were Herbert Hadley, now attorney general of Missouri, and Pro- (Continued on page 4.) SOPHOMORES WERE GAME. Held the 'Varsity in First Half of Game Last Night. In one of the fiercest played games of the year, the Sophomore class team which won the class championship in the recent basket ball tournament, last night held the 'Varsity to the low score of 29 to 12. The game was quite rough and the 'Varsity was handicapped by the absence of Capt. Miller and Allen. The first half ended with the score of 9 to 7 in the favor of the 'Varsity. The sophomores were a surprise even to themselves in the game they put up, showing up stronger than many college teams of this season.

May Have Baker Debate April 21 Council Elects Manager. The Debating Council notified Iowa today that they had selected April 27 for the Kansas-Iowa debate. Iowa submitted two dates, April 20 and April 27. The Baker debate will in all probability be held Saturday, April 21, while the high school visitors are here, unless the date cannot be arranged with Baker. The date for the Missouri debate has not been set, but in all probability it will be either April 13 or April 27 as they are the only dates within reasonable time that can be arranged without interfering with other events here. The Council elected B. A. Earhart manager at the meeting yesterday afternoon. They have felt the need of one man to manage the financial affairs and hope to avoid the delay which always attends committee management. Miss Mary Copley, who recently resigned the French fellowship here, went to Pittsburg, Pa., last week where she will visit relatives this spring. Do you like fine photographs?

Kansas has the best all around team she has had in years. While the prospects have been good since the showing at the K.C.A.C.meet, the announcement that Kuhn, of the Medical at Kansas City who won ten points at the K.C.A. C.meet would be in the meet for Kansas, makes victory almost certain. Putnam is the only aspirant at the shot and will make second in it. Hines, a senior engineer was out yesterday, and will be a strong man on the half mile, where the team has been weak. Kuhn, of the Kansas City Medical school, is counted upon as a sure winner in the high and low hurdles. Wallace and Russell will also enter in the hurdles. Parker should take first, with Young second, in the high jump Finch and Commons will make Missouri work hard for first and second places in the sprints. Barnard is conceded second place in the two mile against Jackson of Missouri and the relay and quarter mile are sure events for Kansas University. Russel is a sure winner in the pole vault and the evidence all seems to point very favorably to a Kansas victory. Lost—A ladies gold watch. Also K. U. seal fob.

SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1906 Professor Carruth paved the way for a revolution of one branch of University enterprise when he advocated a decent share of the projected assessment for the benefit of the band. The wonder is that someone with influence has not done something of the kind long ago. The band is having, and for years has had a harder struggle and less support than any other organization in the institution. They have furnished their own instruments, bought their own music, if they got any, done without uniforms, and in spite of all, kept up their organization in the face of actual discouragement from the faculty attitude. Sometimes they have been admitted to athletic contests, and almost as frequently they have not. Still they have held together and have never failed to do their duty to the institution when they got a chance. Other schools support their bands and make them as important as any other organization. At the State Agricultural College the State furnishes uniforms, instruments, music and instruction, and they have a band that is a credit to the school. A band is as valuable to a school as a good athletic team is in its way. Let's recognize the worth of it and work for Professor Carruth's suggestion: Give the band a share of our support, and advocate the proposition to get an instructor for them. The general assessment plan in its present form involves the change of management of debates from the literary societies to a general council elected by all the students. It is practically this plan which the societies refused to accept last fall, when Chancellor Strong offered to assume financial responsibility for the debates. There are two things involved which should make the societies see the need of the change. One is the fact that this year there are several men in the University who are not on the debating teams because of the society restriction. They are good men but do not feel like keeping up those organizations. The other reason is that the societies do not afford sufficient support for the debates. Nothing but the Baker debate can prevent a deficit of at least a hundred dollars this year. A general council necessitates general liability for the debt which under the present system the societies are bound to meet. Put the debates on a general basis. The sophomore class is showing decidedly bad spirit by giving their class party on the same date as the In-door Track Meet at Kansas City. It is not fair to either event to allow such conflicts to exist, and if it comes to a question of relative importance to the University, the class should yield. It is not too late to arrange the matter so that neither party will suffer, but the only way is for the sophomores to yield. A University event is of vastly more importance than a class party. A story is going around to the effect that a member of the football team is holding up a treat which the team is entitled to. The story has it that W.R. Stubbs gave him fifteen dollars last fall with instructions to treat the team with his, Stubbs',compliments. The treat has not been forthcoming and the boys insist that it is bad form to hocdoo them in such a manner. The question is, who has the biggest kick coming, the football team or Mr. Stubbs. Freshmen are often quite witty, though they sometimes outgrow it—or become sophomores. A two-weeks old freshman was heard to say in speaking of the prevalence of nicknames: "Well I don't care what they call me, just so they do it in time for breakfast." Fruit and nut sundaes, at Vic's.

Another wrote that he had taken a forty-five-dollar course on "Scientific Salesmanship," but that he got more out of "Ready Money" than out of that whole course.

(Continued from page I.) fessor Engel of our German department. During the life of the Courier there were several attempts to start rival papers, but they generally failed. The Times was started in 1888. W.A. White, now regent of the University, was its business manager. It lasted for only a few months. In 1889 the University Kansan was started by some members of the Phi Psi fraternity, who had become dissatisfied with the Courier staff. The Kansan appeared for two years and was then merged into the Courier. The Student Journal was begun in '92 and issued at intervals until '95. Two of its most prominent editors were Ed T. Hackney, now a prominent lawyer of southern Kansas, and Ralph Waldo Cone, now of our sociology department. In 1895, the Kansas University Weekly succeeded the Courier. The Weekly existed until 1904, when the Kansan was started, with Wirt G. McCarty as editor. R. L. Douglas, the new editor of the Kansan followed Mr. Kayser. In introducing his subject he told the story of the mule that "blew" first and applied it to his own situation, saying that those who preceded him had taken the same advantage of him and that as they had exhausted the past and the present he must confine himself to the future. He then said that his policy as editor was to be a non-partisan one and that if he should ever take a stand on an issue and afterward find that he was wrong, he proposed to acknowledge his mistake and not play the part of the "crawler." He said also that he considered that the college paper should be especially the student's paper although he did not think that the college paper should always champion the students in every case that arose. If you want to be satisfied with your picture go to Shelley's studio. University Workmen Organize. A number of faculty and student members of the Ancient Order of United Workmen met at 413 W. Adams Street Wednesday night and perfected the preliminary organization of a student auxiliary lodge. Several students and faculty members were present. Committees were appointed to draft regulations, and to take steps toward a permanent organization. They have asked the local order of the city to have two special students meetings each year, and it is very probable that it will be granted. Student Workmen have had no benefits of the fraternal side of the order while in the University, and it is hoped that the auxiliary will secure all the benefits of any local order.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS VOLUME II. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 14, 1906. ONE DOLLAR FARE SANTA FE RUNS EXCURSION FOR TRACK MEET. The K. U. Entries=-K. U. to Compete in St. Louis Meet Saturday. Arrangements are now practically completed for the in-door meet at Kansas City, Friday night. The Kansas squad and their rooters will leave at 2 p. m. Friday on a special train over the Santa Fe. Returning, the train will leave Kansas City at 12 p. m. for Lawrence. A special rate of $1.00 has been made, good only on the K. U. special. Admission to the meet will be 50 cents, which includes reserved seats. Tickets will be held here for sale until Friday noon to accommodate the students. The number going from Lawrence promises to be larger than that at any previous meet, and Kansas will have her share of supporters. The Kansas squad will consist of twelve, and the entries are: Captain Driscoll and Wallace in the 50-yard and 440-yard dashes, Russell and Johnson in the pole vault, Kuhn and Johnson in the high hurdles, Kuhn and Wallace in the low hurdles, Young and Parker in the high jump, Barnard in the two-mile, Priest in the mile, McCoy in the half-mile, and Putnam will put the shot. The relay team will consist of McCoy, Dennis, Wallace and Captain Driscoll With this lineup there seems to be but little doubt of Kansas pulling the victorious end. The relay team, Putnam, and Wallace, accompanied by Manager Lansdon, will leave at 11:45 p. m., Friday, on the Alton Night Hawk for St. Louis, where they will compete against some of the best athletes of the country, in the meet at St. Louis University, Saturday night. At noon, today, Manager Lansdon had not received any official list of entries from Missouri. Chancellor Strong is fast regaining his strength under the regulations of the sanitarium at Wichita, where he has been for the last ten days. He is taking the medicated baths and vigorous exercise every day and his improvement is very marked. Chancellor Is Gaining Rapidly. NUMBER 47 FORM PARTNERSHIPS. The Senior Laws Are Already Preparing to Get Legal Business. This is the time of year when the senior laws are laying plans to begin practising after this year's work ends. Some have decided where they will start others are looking for locations. Some have formed partnerships among themselves to begin when school is out. Among these partnerships are the following: C. O. Pingrey and Jos. H. Sutton will be together at Kansas City, Missouri; M. N. McNaughton and W. L. Hurd, at Tonganoxie, Kansas; while J.W. Blood and Charl Stichter will try to nail legal business at El Paso, Texas. J.E. Driscoll and W. T. Clarkson will engage in the insurance business at Wilson, Kansas. Mandolin Club Concert. The mandolin club will give a concert under the auspices of the down town Y. M.C.A. in the new Y.M.C.A. auditorium, on Thursday, March 22. The concert will be the same as played at the University of Missouri where every number was encored and one number was answered eight times. The club was to have gone to Lincoln to play for the University of Nebraska on the spring vacation trip, but as the Mandolin and Glee club of Nebraska are to be on their trip to the Pacific coast the concert will be postponed until the middle of May. The spring vacation trip will include Leavenworth, Atchison and St. Joseph. Glee Club Trip. The schedule for the Glee Club trip the week of spring vacation is now complete. They will leave here Monday, March 26 giving the first concert in Holton, Kans., that night. A concert will be given at Frankfort Tuesday night, Waterville Wednesday night, Washington Thursday night, Beloit Friday night and Minneapolis Saturday night. The club will return Monday after spring vacation. Fourteen will make the trip including Prof. and Mrs. Hubach, as director and accompanist. Your picture can be pretty as well as a likeness if made by Bauer & Coffey. 1103 Main Street Kansas City, Missouri. ANNUAL MUSIC FESTIVAL. Will Be Given April 6 and 7----Cast of "Der Freischutz." The annual spring music festival, which is to be given April 6 and 7, is six weeks earlier than usual, in order to avoid the rush of entertainments at commencement time. The features of the festival are the two operas "Der Freischütz" and "Parsifal," a large part of each being included. The parts in "Der Freischütz" have been assigned as follows: Agnes, Mrs. Blanche Lyons; Annie, Miss Augusta Flintom; first bridesmaid, Miss Gertrude Russ; Rodolph, Prof. C. Edward Hubach; Caspar, Mr. John Ise; Cuno, Mr. Everett Copley; Prince Ottokar, Mr. Harry Durkee; the Hermit, Mr. Herbert Tuthill. The University orchestra has learned the entire accompaniment of Weber's opera "Der Freischütz,"which will be given the first night of the festival. The orchestra was never in such good form as at present and their good work is winning wide recognition. The festival chorus this year numbers 100 voices, which is a much larger number than ever before; many students are included. The glee club will sing in the hunter's chorus in the opera. New K. C.Paper. Marvin H. Creager, Arts '04, who has been sporting editor of the Kansas City World since he graduated from K.U., will be the telegraph editor of the Kansas City Post, which commences publication today. Mr. Creager was one of the first graduates of our school of journalism and is meeting with great success in his profession. The K. U. Post is a democratic paper and it is rumored that it is to be backed by Bernard Corrigan of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company and will therefore be hostile to the policy of the Star. High School Would Not Change. The fraternities of the city High School who are to give a party in F. A. A. Hall Saturday night refused to change dates with the Sophomores. The Sophomores will have to give their party on Friday night as announced, as the hall has been rented for several months. BAKER GAME OFF. Allen and Johnson Were Unable To Play Baker. The basket ball game which was to have been played on next Monday night March 19, has been called off on account of the disability of several of the regular men of the Kansas University team. "Fog" Allen, the star of the team is unable to play on account of an injured hand. Tommy Johnson is compelled to devote all his time to preparing for the Missouri-Kansas track meet and other regulars are out of condition. It was unfortunate that the Baker game could not have been scheduled during the regular season, for the Kansas University team could not be kept in condition for three weeks after its regular schedule had been completed. Professor Cady Speaks. Professor H. P.Cady spoke in chapel Tuesday on the "Value of Theory in Scientific Study." He remarked that the theoretical part of science seems to be much more easily grasped than the facts upon which the theory rests. A noticable feature of the chapel service was the attendance of Professor Cady's class in Qualitative Analysis and his address received round after round of applause from these students. Regent White to Speak. William Allen White, of the board of regents, will address a special meeting of the Quill Club of the University next Thursday afternoon at half past four. This will be a special open meeting and all students are invited to attend. The lecture will probably be in Room 8, Fraser Hall. Special Kansan Rate. The Kansan will be delivered to any address for the rest of the year for thirty-five cents. This rate is made to accommodate any who want the news during the baseball and commencement season. Lawrence Brett spoke to the Mining Journal Tuesday on the cause and prevention of mine explosions, which he is working up for his senior thesis. Chas. Heuser, C.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 1906 The Missouri Independent concedes that the Indoor Meet is a doubtful proposition, but thinks Missouri should win "by a small margin." It is but common fairness to the Sophomore Party Committee to state that their action in giving their class party next Friday night was a choice between a conflict with the Indoor Meet and a mid-week party. The statement in the last issue of the Kansan was based on the supposedly authentic information that the date could have been changed to a Saturday night. Under the circumstances the committee was more unfortunate than blamable. From all present indications, the Indoor Meet at Kansas City Friday night promises to be the beginning of a new epoch in University track athletics. Never have our chances for victory been so good, nor the determination of the track team been so marked. If the boys do not win they are going to make somebody work mighty hard for a victory. The excursion rate this year is unusually low, and a correspondingly large number of students and faculty should take advantage of the opportunity and go with the team. The University band has been practising for several weeks and will help stir up the enthusiasm of the crowd. Show your confidence in the team by your presence and your encouragement. All aboard for Kansas City! The Minnesota Daily has this to say about encouragement of literary work there: Today, after more than thirty years of history, there is just about the same provision for literary societies as at the beginning of the institution—that is to say, none at all. There is not a single room or attic about the University which they can call their own. Bundled about here and there, first in this recitation room, then in that, the wonder is, not that their work is of a lower grade than it should be, but that they do any work at all. Much of it could be said with equal truth of Kansas. It is unavoidable here just at present, on account of the crowded condition of all the buildings. But could not adequate provision be made for the future accomodation of literary work in the University? The Daily Maroon, the official publication of the University of Chicago is resting under a charge of making two thousand dollars a year in profits. Prominent students have demanded an investigation of its methods. Try a "Chocolate de'clare," at Vic's. Rolled In The Mud. W. E. Broadie of Kansas Day fame was ignominiously maltreated at Ottawa the other n.ght. While attending the state oratorical contest with a party of Baker students he was mistaken by the Ottawa supporters for a Baker man and in company with the others of the party was given a coat of sticky mud by being rolled in the streets of Ottawa. "Banana Specials" are fine, at Vic's. A pedagogue does not lead a very exciting life as a rule, neither does he lay up for himself great wealth. However, his profession has some pleasures, substantial and otherwise. "Much that I am, and all that I have received in the way of inspiration and encouragement, I owe to Uncle Jimmy Green," said a Law alumnus. Those are the things that help to make the teacher's profession worth while. Fruit and nut sundaes, at Vic's. Marvin Creager, of Kansas City, spent Sunday at the Phi Psi house.

Notwithstanding the cold weather a fair article of ball was played and the few spectators were well satisfied. Waring did the twirling for Dickinson and Angney for Sumner. Three hits were made on the former while Angney only allowed two. Both sides deserved only one score, as Sumner's four points were made on errors. Waring struck out thirteen men to Angney's eight. Senior Party Well Attended. The senior party given in F. A.A.Hall Friday evening was one of the most successful of the entire social season.The Newhouse orchestra of six pieces furnished the music for the program of twenty dances and fully sixty couples were present. This was the second party given by the class this year. Professor Hoad talked to the civil engineers Friday afternoon about his visit to St. Joseph. Mr. Hoad was one of a company of twenty engineers who were guests of the Jackson Sewer Company of that city. They inspected among other things some interesting forms of river dikes and sewer and sewer construction. "Where are you going my pretty maid?" "I'm going to college, sir," she said." "Then you'll learn a lot about Greek this fall." But she answered him haughtily: "Not at all, I'm taking jiu jitsu and basketball." The sophomores at Michigan have adopted an official "Soph" hat. It is to be red with a white band, or white with a red band, according to the taste of the wearer. The Michigan Daily hails the new "lid" as one of signs of spring. Fred J. Boyles, 631 Mass.

Squires and no other for your picture. At a recent meeting of the Chemical Club last week M. A. Barber read a paper upon the Distribution of Typhoid Fever in Lawrence. He has investigated most of the cases that have occurred within the past five years. The investigation shows that the cases were distributed, not being confined to any particular locality. The relation of the cases to the water supply was also studied, and the conclusion drawn that the city water supply was safer for general use, than that of the wells of the city. Typhoid in Lawrence. Findlay Played for Cash. The man who brought woe to Minnesota in the Wisconsin game last fall received $92 for doing it. Findlay, star half back on the Badger team testified last week before the legislative investigating committee that he received that amount for playing on the team. Worse exposures than this are said to be coming. He also testified that after the Minnesota game $100 worth of champagne was bought for the team in St. Paul. Resolutions of Sympathy. The following resolution was adopted by the Law School on Monday, March 12th, 1906. We, the members of the Law School of the University of Kansas, in mass meeting assembled extend our heartfelt sympathy to our esteemed friend and professor, Dr. Wm. L.

One of the long distance track men started for McCook field a few days ago carrying a small box. Some curious boys followed him to the track and peeping thru' the fence saw him take an alarm clock from the box and set it to go off in five minutes and then placed it so as to be able to see it as he finished each lap. At the end of the second round he got mixed up on the time and stopped the clock until he had figured out the time and again was off on his race. He made a very good estimate of his time for the alarm went off just before he crossed the line at the finish of the mile. University of Kansas at Athens. Fay Moulton, who holds the record here for the hundred yards, will be on the American team at the Olympian games at Athens next month. Moulton, while at Lawrence was an all around athlete and since then has made an enviable record at Yale. Since Olympian games were revived a few years ago no greater honor can fall to an athlete than to be chosen to represent his country at the great meet. The Americans have always taken the most points in these contests and much is expected of them at Athens. Obituary. Daniel Burdick died at his home in East Greenwich, R. L., Sunday morning, March 4, 1906, of paralysis and heart failure, aged eighty-five years. Mr. Burdick for twenty-seven years of his life was actively engaged in railway engineering, and until a few years ago, was successfully engaged in real estate business after retiring from railroad work. He leaves two daughters, and two sons, one of whom is Dr.W. L. Burdick of the Law School. Emporia Won in Oratory. W. S.

Some Important Lectures Announced. Dr. Tozzer of Harvard University will give an illustrated lecture in University Hall next Friday evening. His subject will be Peoples and Ruined Cities of Central America. Dr. Tozzer spent four years in Central America and Mexico, living with some of the tribes that have had very little contact with Europeans or Americans, having been admitted to their sacred enclosures and taught their rites and ceremonies. He has made a special study of their hieroglyphs and visited many of the ruined cities of Yucatan, Guatemala end elsewhere. He is familiar with the native peoples, their languages, the prehistoric cities, and the ancient sculptures of that region. The lecture will be of special interest to students of history, anthropology, and archaeology, but all will enjoy it Friday, the 23rd of March, Dr. Moflat, president of Washington and Jefferson College and moderator of the Presbyterian General Assembly, will speak at the Friday morning chapel exercises and lecture in the evening on Modern Science and Christianity. He is of conspicuous ability both as a leader in the religious field and as executive and thinker. Sunday, March 25th, will be held the next vesper services. Dr. Moffat, already mentioned, will give the address. Special music is being prepared by Professor Hubach and the choir. The vesper service has come to fill so important a place in University life that it does not require emphasis.

THE KANSAN. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 17, 1906. VOLUME II. MISSOURI WINS NUMBER 48 AT THE END THE SCORE WAS 55 TO 30. Parker Breaks the High Jump Record---Missouri Springs Many Surprises. Once more the Kansans' hope of victory over Missouri at track went glimmering when for the seventh consecutive time Missouri defeated Kansas at the big Convention Hall meet last night. The Missourians simply ran away from Kansas and won by the onesided score of 55 to 30. The ease with which the Jayhawkers were defeated caused much surprise, since it was generally conceded that Kansas was reasonably sure of several firsts. The Columbia boys were given a number of sure things by the same dopesters, but the only difference was that Missouri won all the firsts previously conceded to her and several others which seemed safe for Kansas. The summary of events is as follows: One mile run—Jenkins (M) first, Jackson (M) second. Time, 4:49. Priest (K) ran. 50-yard dash—Tidd (M) first, Branham (M) second. Time, :05 3-5. Driscoll and Wallace ran. Putting 16 pound shot—Anderson (M) first, Putnam (K) second. Distance, 41 ft. 10 in., second, 37 ft. 11 in. 55 yard high hurdles—Kuhn (K) first, Crouch (M) second. Time, :08. Johnson and Lewis ran. 440 yard run—Tidd (M) first, Driscoll (K) second. Time,:55. Wallace and Stewart ran. Running high jump—Parker (K) first, Anderson (M) second. Height, 5 ft. 9 in. 880 yard run—Ellis (M) first, Jenkins (M) second. Time, 2:05 3-5. Dennis and McCoy ran. 55 yard low hurdles—Crouch (M) first, Kuhn (K) second. Time, :07. Parker and Lewis ran. Two mile run—Daniels (M) first, Barnard (K) second. Time, 11:07. Pole vault—Russell (K) first, Johnson (K) second. Height, 9 ft. 6 in. Mile relay—Missouri, first; Kansas, second. For Missouri, Tidd, Stewart, Ellis, Leapheart; for Kansas, Young, Wallace, McCoy, Driscoll. Time, 4:24. A large crowd was out to see the contest and, it is safe to say, got their money's worth. Under the direction of Martin Delaney, director of the K.C. A.C., and his corps of able officials, the meet went off without a hitch. The events were run off quickly and without the tiresome delays that usually accompany a track meet. Much credit is due to the men who made it possible to carry off the events so successfully. The Missourians sprung several surprises and showed up strong in places where they had been considered weak. In all the distance runs the Kansas boys showed their lack of training by their inability to finish anywhere near as strong as the Missourians. The biggest surprise of the whole meet was the loss of the 50-yard dash. Kansas rooters had their first bitter taste of defeat when the Missouri sprinters took first and second places over Driscoll and Wallace. The prettiest contest of the meet was the high jump. No one had counted on Missouri for more than third place, but when Young was forced out at 5 ft.6 in. and Anderson cleared the bar easily, everyone began to open his eyes. From then on it was a match for supremacy between Parker and Capt. Anderson, Parker finally winning with a record two inches better than he had ever made before and an inch higher than the Kansas University record. Kuhn, who had been counted as a sure winner of both the high and low hurdles, brought another blow to the Jayhawkers when, after winning the high hurdles, Crouch, after being set back two feet, succeeded in winning first in the low hurdles by a narrow margin. In the pole vault there was no competition and Russel and Johnson had things all to themselves. The relay race was the most exciting event of the meet. Tidd, of Missouri, and Young started and after a pretty race Tidd came in for a few feet ahead. Wallace with a poor start ran a pretty quarter and came in ahead of Stewart. McCoy was then badly outdistanced by Ellis in the third relay, and made a gap that Capt. Driscoll, after running the race of his life against Leapheart, nearly succeeded in closing. But the lead was too great and Missouri came in with the first honors. The 440 yard run was another disappointment for the Jayhawkers, when Tidd beat Capt. Driscoll to the tape after a close race. The relay team, consisting of Capt. Driscoll, Wallace, Young and Dennis, with Russell and Putnam made up the squad that went to the St. Louis University invitation meet to be held today. T. L. Eyerly, of the class '05, who has been principal of the Marysville high school this year visited friends at the University this week. Mr. Eyerly has been away from his school for several weeks on account of sickness, but will resume his duties next week. COASTING ACCIDENT. Miss McCracken Hurt Thursday Night. In a bob sled mixup on Kentucky street Thursday night, Miss Louise McCracken was quite seriously injured, sustaining a double fracture of her leg just below the knee. Frank Brock, who was guiding the sled, attempted to steer past the Beta "bob" which had not been taken from the road. He did not quite clear it, and the accident resulted. Several sleds were following one another in quick succession and it is a wonder that more were not hurt. It will probably be six weeks or two months before Miss McCracken will be fully recovered. ENGINEERING NOTES. A new Richle 60,000 pounds tension and compression testing machine has been received for the testing laboratory. It will be set up immediately and be put into use by the classes in Strength of Materials. This machine makes a valuable addition to the equipment of the laboratory. To get a degree from the School of Engineering, one must present a thesis, which requires a great deal of original investigation. The Kansan publishes today the subjects which the senior "civils" have taken, and will eventually publish the thesis subjects of seniors in other departments. J. Clyde Baldwin and Astley Purton are working on plans for the drainage and reclamation of swamp land along the Wakrusa. A. R. Mann is investigating the flow of sewage in the Lawrence sewerage system. He is making these investigations in Lawrence as it is a typical residence city. Strickler and Ward are investigating the effect of clay on the strength of cement mortar. It is generally supposed that sand containing clay weakens cement mortar. It is to settle this question that this work is being done. Zimmerman and Parker are designing a sewerage system for the city of Olathe, their home town. Dolph Blanpied is experimenting with cement. Dunmire and McGillivray, who have been making an investigation of Kansas stone as road building material, have collected stone from the eastern half of the state. They have put in a laboratory in the basement of the shops and have made abrasion, cementation and absorption tests on fifty different samples besides experimenting with the effect of repeated freezing and thawing. Chester Smith, '04, is getting out a thesis for his master's degree. He is working on some phase of sanitary engineering. LEAVE TUESDAY BASE BALL MEN HAVE HAD LITTLE PRACTICE. Wichita League Game Canceled---- The Team Will Be Picked Monday. On Tuesday, the base ball team will leave on its Southern trip and will be gone two weeks. Its seems rather absurd to talk of base ball, when not more than four or five days actual practice has been held and when the individual players have not had a fair trial. The winter weather, that should have come a month ago, has waited until March, and the team will have to start with a complement of players, who have showed up the best—a difficult task at least. Primarily the schedule was arranged for practice and the chance of winning all the games does not seem very probable, but with the college teams Kansas ought to take every contest. The chief disadvantage will lie in the fact that Texas and Oklahoma Universities have been practicing for two months and will be in good shape. The only change in the schedule as announced in the Kansan a few days ago, is the dropping of the Witchita Western Association team on account of the inclement weather. The first game will be played with Friends on next Wednesday. Oklahoma comes on Thursday and Friday and the next week will be taken up in playing Texas professional and college teams. The last game will be played with the State Normal during the first week in April. Texas University will be the hardest proposition of all the college teams played. Last year Missouri's crack team suffered a shut out at Austin and the Jayhawkers will have to hurry if they win. The team will be chosen Monday and the following men will probably be the fortunate ones: Brookens, catcher; Hoffman, Krimeyer, Jones, Taylor or Meade, pitchers; Young, first base; Wilson, or Heatherington second; Bailey, shortstop; Johnson, third; Brown, Bloss and one of the pitchers will make up the outfield. Hoffman will take care of one of the positions most of the time on account of his strong batting. The Kansan will have daily reports from manager Lansdon and the team's progress will be posted on the Kansan bulletin board. Contract Not Let. The board of regents met for their regular monthly session Thursday afternoon. The entire time was spent in discussing the letting of the contract for the new gymnasium building but as all the bids were to high no action was taken.

SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1906 The voice of the spring poet is stillled—the sound of sleigh bells and bob-sleeds has put him out of business. The freshmen at Nebraska blossomed out in gaudy new class caps the other day in the crimson and white of the University colors. Wonder if the recent blizzard didn't make these ice-cream "lidlets" look like less than thirty cents? Manager Lansdon is trying something that is almost an innovation in the southern baseball trip, coming as it does so early in the season, and before the team has had the benefit of even any good field practice. The schedule is not one that would try the metal of the team late in the season, with the exception of the Texas game, which will show our boys the pace it takes to win. The trip, with the excellent training it will give means a very strong team this year, for we have the material to work with. The athletic board has been having a heated discussion about the color of the new baseball suits. When Manager Lansdon ordered the new suits he consulted the baseball men about their preferences, and in accordance with their wishes, ordered the suits of grey material, which is so popular with all teams on account of its servicibility. After the suits had been ordered, and were on the way, an agitation was started to have the order rescinded, and to have the suits of the traditional crimson which has always been the distinguishing mark of the Jayhawker teams. But the suits were here, and the board has decided to have them dyed the regulation crimson. Various statements have been made about the matter, to the effect that the team did not want the new color, and that Manager Lansdon was acting without authority. As a matter of fact he was simply exercising his power to equip the team, and he did it in accordance with the preference of the boys themselves. The only question involved is the relative value of servicability and tradition. The grey suits are cleaner than the red. Other schools have given up the colored suits, just as they adopted the servicable football suits for wear and not for color. The sentiment in the board, however, is strongly in favor of holding to the time honored crimson suits. Nebraska has taken up with the general assessment plan as the only way to ever raise the debt which she has been piling up under the old season ticket plan. The fee which the Daily Nebraskan is urging is four dollars each, for students of the University. The student tax is bound to come to all important schools and colleges sooner or later, for it is the only way to keep all departments of a large and growing institution interested in all the lines of the work which the various organizations stand for. The proposition which the students and faculty managers outlined is just what our organizations need to place them on a strong foundation of general support. So far no one has been found who would "knock" on the proposition, which is in itself a fact worthy of notice. When the petitions are circulated through the University as they will be before long, every loyal Jayhawker, who believes in student enterprise should try to be among the first to put his name on the list, and pledge himself to pay the fee so long as he stays in the University.

William Allen White, the most successful Kansas writer of short fiction, talked to the Quill Club Thursday on some phases of the science and the art of story writing. Mr. White's talk was perfectly informal, being largely in the form of answers to questions by members of the club and others, and was based entirely on his own experiences in writing short fiction and character sketches. Mr. White said that in his judgment the two great requisites of a good short story are two parts of character and one part of fiction. "In writing up a story," he said, "get away from the facts upon which your story is based. The closer you stick to the facts the farther you are from the truth." In speaking of the typical American story, Mr. White declared that it is essential that the practical things should enter into the telling. "The society novel cannot be vital in America until we have a large leisure class who get their money simply by writing a check on the bank, as the typical stories do. And I may say that I hope that day will never come. What you must put into your stories is how the hero or the heroine makes his or her living, how he pays his board. Another thing I don't like is the preponderance of the love story in our short fiction. Popular writers pay altogether too much attention to that short period of life. There are too many other things just as important and interesting in life, which are almost neglected for this branch of fiction." Mr. White told of the way in which he collected the material for his political sketches which have been very popular. "Such writing is photographic in exactness," said he. "In getting the information I discount what a man's friends say just forty per cent, and what his enemies say, by ninety per cent, and there is the truth every time." Fred J.

How Would You Like to solicit for a set of books and have back of you the enthusiastic cooperation of the greatest men in the world—college presidents, bankers, railroad presidents, millionaires, members of the cabinet, senators and representatives? Such are the books of the Personal Help Library. "Ready Money" has been published only a year and "Thoughts That Inspire" six months, yet they are being used in the pulpit and on the lecture platform, in high schools, colleges and Y. M. C. A. night schools. J. J. Gregory has written us that he intends to put "Ready Money" into the Y. M. C. A. libraries of the United States, into the libraries of the navy and army posts, and theological schools. He has bought, since the first of January, over 700 copies. Great corporations are buying them for their employees. No books have ever been so enlarged or received with such enthusiasm. One agent sold eighteen extra in four hours while delivering. A salesman for another company says that his business was increased $150 in one week by READING "Ready Money." Another wrote that, he had taken a forty-five-dollar course on "Scientific Salesmanship," but that he got more out of "Ready Money" than out of that whole course. The president of one subscription company ordered a number of copies of "Ready Money" for his agents and stated that it ought to be part of the outfit of every agent, no matter what he is selling. If agents of other companies are having their sales increased by using "Ready Money" as a text, what ought not you to do selling "Ready Money"?

He discussed first the archaeology of the country, then the people themselves in relation to the traditions of the past. In spite of the fact that a large number of University people were in Kansas City and a great many more attended the Sophomore party, the audience was one of the largest that has attended a public lecture this year.

In the forthcoming first Kansas City performance in English of Wagner's "Valkyrie," at the Willis Wood Thursday night March 29, Mr. Henry W. Savage's big Grand Opera orchestra under Conductor Schenck will begin the picturesque prelude at 7:30 o'clock precisely. Wagner himself set the hour for beginning "The Valkyrie" at 5:30 in the afternoon, but his version of the beautiful musical story of the Valhalla warrior-maids required a performance of over four hours. The popular version used in America has undergone the same scholarly condensation that was necessary for "Parsifal" so that Mr. Savage's production by beginning at half past seven is over shortly after eleven o'clock. "The Valkyrie" starts with the prelude of storm music picturing the flight of Siegemund and there is no intermission. The curtain rises and Siegemund enters and the music continues. The much talked-of combat in the clouds occurs in the second act, and the famous "Ride of the Valkyries" is at the beginning of the great third act, which closes with the Magic Fire Seene. This is the superb episode where the god Wotan calls up a wall of flame from the rocky heights to protect his sleeping daughter Brunnhilde until the warrior Seigfreid in the next opera of the "Ring" comes to claim her as his bride. The usual hour of 8:15 o'clock will be the time for starting the overture to "Rigoletto" on Friday night, March 30, and for "Faust" on Saturday night. NEW POST CARDS of K. U. and city buildings.

GOOD ENOUGH TOPEKA CONFERENCE SATISFIED WITH FOOTBALL. Freshman Eligibility Rule Modified----New Summer Base Ball Rule. At the annual meeting of the athletic conference of Kansas Colleges in Topeka last Saturday, several important changes were made in the present athletic rules which are of great importance to the University. Most important of course was the partial elimination of the freshman rule as it has been in force during the past year. By an extremely close vote the conference decided that all schools with an enrollment of less than 400 should be allowed to play the first year men in the football games. This does not effect the University, the State Normal, Washburn, the Agricultural College, or Lindsburg, but all other colleges including St. Mary's, Ottawa, College of Emporia, Fairmount, Friends', and Salina Wesleyan will enter under the modification of the rule. This is of the utmost importance to the University as several of the schools effected by the rule are on the varsity schedule and will be able to develop much stronger teams than Kansas had been expecting. The other important change in the rules that is of interest to the University is that in regard to professional baseball. According to the new ruling every player that has participated in more than three games of summer ball, will be declared ineligible to play college base ball. Aside from the freshmen rule the conference made no attempt to reform football. The University was represented by Wilson Sterling. BASEBALL SCHEDULE. Dates For The Remainder Of The Season. Manager Lansdon has arranged the following schedule to follow the southern trip; Nebraska university, April 12 and 13. Emporia college, April 14. Oklahoma university April 20 and 21.

NUMBER 49 Two games will be played with Baker or Washburn on McCook field April 27 or 28, the time of the track meet with Emporia college. CAPTAIN ALLEN. Basket Ball Captain Elected for the Following Year. At a meeting of the basket ball squad, held in Dr. Naismith's office Monday noon, "Fog" Allen was chosen unanimously as the man to head the team for the coming year. Allen is a steady, consistent player, who can be depended upon to do all that is possible for the best interests of the team and the University. Under his leadership the team will increase the long string of victories begun this year under the able direction of Milton Miller. There is some talk of arranging a schedule that will exceed in length any trip ever undertaken by a University organization in the west. It will include a trip to the Pacific coast,to be taken during the Christmas holidays and extending a week after. Manager Lansdon has promised to arrange it if the team is willing to miss their vacation. CLASS DEBATE NOTICE. Contestants Must Enter by Vacation. Professor Frazier, of the public speaking department, who will have charge of the freshman-sophomore debate, has called for the entries of both classes not later than March 28, at noon. The question is the Missouri subject and the representatives of both classes will be chosen in class preliminaries. Regular freshmen and special students doing their first year's work in the University are eligible from the freshman class, and all second year students the same way from the sophomore class. Freshmen should hand their names to some member of their committee, at once. The committee is Gowenlock, Apollo, Eustack Smith, and H. C. Waters. Sophomores should report to either Ansel Clark, R. L. Douglas or Kenneth Campbell or to Professor Frazier. The preliminaries will be held as soon after vacation as practicable. Chancellor Strong has returned from Wichita where he had been for the past two weeks at the Battle Creek sanitarium, and expects to resume his duties in about a week. He is in perfect health, aside from the natural weakness resulting from his long illness. Dr. Strong will be on the hill for the Friday chapel, April 6, if nothing happens to prevent. Chancellor Is Back. Photographs, the kind an artist makes, at popular prices. Bauer & Coffey, 1103 Main St., Kansas City, Mo. Will Kenny, '08 engineer is confined to his room with an attack of pleurisy. OFF FOR THE SOUTH. Base Ball Team Left Last Night. Johnson Eligible. The University base ball team left last night on its southern trip and will stop at Wichita today where a game is scheduled with Friends' University. Manager Lansdon and Coach Relihan accompanied the team composed of Brookens, "Ben" Young, Carlos Johnson, Hetherington, "Spide" Bailey, as infield men. Andy Brown, Bunny Wilson and one of the pitchers as out field and Hoffman, Jones, Meade and Kirmeyer as twirlers. Captain Johnson was declared eligible in the University Council meeting today noon and will join the team at the Chillocco Indian school tomorrow. As Manager Lansdon says this trip will give the boys a chance to taste salt water and will cover the largest number of games ever scheduled for a 'Varsity base ball team. Dr. Moffat Here Friday. Dr. Moffat, president of Washington and Jefferson College, and Moderator of the Presbyterian General Assembly, will address University audiences three times this week. He will speak in chapel Friday morning and will deliver an address that evening in the chapel on "Modern Science and Christianity." On Sunday afternoon he will address the regular vesper services at 4 o'clock. Dr. Moffat has the religious earnestness one would expect from a man originally a minister of the United Church of Scotland. His good judgment and large hearted personality have been invaluable services to his own church in the settlement of the question of a new creed and in the bringing together of the northern and southern branch separated since the conflict over slavery. The long time he stays and the number of times he appears will give the University public a good chance to get acquainted with this earnest and large hearted man and ought to be of great spiritual significance to our life. Senior Play Notice. Senior girls who wish to try for places on the play will meet in room 15, Friday afternoon at 3:30 and all men at 4:30. Candidates are requested to come prepared to read a short selection from Shakespeare's As You Like It. PLAY COMMITTEE. Alumnus Honored. Miss Nadine Nowlin, of the class of '03, who has held the fellowship in zoology at Bryn Mawr this year, has just been granted a travelling fellowship in that subject. She will travel in Europe for a year with all expenses paid. WAS NOT IN IT KANSAS LOST OUT AT THE ST.LOUIS MEET. Kansas Lost Relay On Foul--- Russell Was Only Man Not Handicapped. The squad that represented Kansas at the indoor meet held under the auspices of St. Louis University, at St. Louis, last Saturday night returned Sunday night but not loaded with victories. The only entries were in the relay, the shot put, and the pole vault. In the relay race was a fight for supremacy between Missouri and Kansas teams, with the odds considerably in favor of Kansas. All went well until the last relay began. Ellis of Missouri had a considerable lead at the start, when Capt. Driscoll succeeded in closing in the first lap. On the next round Driscoll attempted to pass Ellis, but was fouled by him. Driscoll in turn fouled Ellis, who dropped out of the race and refused to finish. Driscoll came in but was disqualified by the judges and the race was given to Washington University. The Kansas relay team finished in fast time, having made the eight laps of 1400 yards in 2 minutes and 52 seconds flat. The K. C. A. C. team considered the fastest team in this part of the country defeated the M. A. C. in 2:48 flat, showing up but 1 second to the man faster than Kansas. In the pole vault Russell was at a disadvantage in being the only man not given a handicap. This was a good recognition of his ability but it failed to procure a place for him. Subtracting the various handicaps of from two to fourteen inches from the records of the other vaulters, Russell would have tied for first place. Putnam failed to win a place in the shot put. The next meet will be the annual class tournament on McCook field April 12. Another Coasting Accident. Several students were severely shaken up in a collision with a four-horse sled on Hancock street Monday night. No one was dangerously hurt, but William Montgomery of the Law School lost several of his front teeth, and other members of the party were considerably shaken up. The sled was the same "bob" on which Miss McCracken was hurt last week. It is the third collision in which it has figured this year. Notice to College Athletes. All students of the college who are interested in the interschool meet of April 14, will meet in the lecture room of Snow Hall to elect a captain and two sub-coaches, Friday at 4:30.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1906 Bob-sled accidents are proving much more dangerous to the well being of the University than football ever was, even in the days when it was at its worst. Who will cry down on bobbing? Say a good word for the general assessment when you get a chance. You will find that it is worth working for. The debating and musical interests of the University are not in the same class as the other work of the institution, and it is solely on account of the lack of support. The University should be the leader in debate and oratory in the state. Proper support will bring the rest. Get in line to give your measure of that support. Michigan received an object lesson in the success that comes from an intense application to a single purpose the other day, when a Japanese undergraduate won the first honors in the University oratorical contest over his American competitors, and will represent that University in the oratorical contest of the Northern Oratorical League May 4. His subject was the mission of new Japan, and it is safe to assume that his visions will in a large measure be fulfilled, whatever they are. The Japs who come over here to learn the best there is of all the sciences and the crafts are going to be a figure in the world's history before long. We will have to "get a move on," if we don't fail out of the race with such opponents. The showing of the track team at St. Louis Saturday night saves us the trouble of writing the obituary of our hopes for glory in track athletics this year. We cannot consistently be downcast if we are defeated in the indoor meets so long as our men have no other facilities for practice than the straight away dash they had in the main corridors of Fraser Hall in preparation for the Kansas City meet. Such training does not give endurance, and that is where our men failed. We have speedy men, but the two weeks of bad weather just before the meet left them without any chance for endurance runs. The outdoor meet may tell another story, for our relay team all but defeated the Missouri team at St. Louis, showing that they have the speed in them. We have always put up a good contest in the outdoor events, after the warm weather and the long cross-country runs, which have been impossible this year. Kansas has no sore spots and not even a suspicion of a yellow streak over such a defeat as the one at Kansas City Friday night. When we get that long looked for gymnasium with facilities for consistent practice, we will be able to put our track team where our football team has been for years. K. U.

The only production of Wagner's "Nibelungen Ring" music drama "The Valkyrie" ever shown west of Chicago will be that of Mr. Henry W. Savage which comes to Kansas City on Thursday night, March 29, and at the Saturday matinee March 31. Mr. Savage has the only complete production of the opera that can be taken on tour and presented with the same perfection of stagecraft that has made "The Valkyrie" the most popular of all "The Ring" dramas in the East. The performance begins at 7:30 in the evening, and at 1:30 for the matinee, and the final curtain on the Magic Fire Scene and Wotan's Farewell to the beautiful Brunnhilde will descend shortly after 11 o'clock at night, and after 5 o'clock at the matinee. "The Valkyrie" will divide attention with Verdi's "Rigletto" and Gounod's "Faust" in the Kansas City engagement.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 24, 1906. WON TWO GAMES BASE BALL TEAM IS IN GOOD FORM NOW. A Defeat at Oklahoma Yesterday ---Second Game There Today. The University base ball team, since starting on their southern trip, have played three games and have been showing the southerners a fast article of ball, considering the fact that they have been playing practically without practice. Two games have been won and one lost. The new pitchers have been making a good showing and give promise of giving Kansas University the strongest battery in years. At Friends' University,where the first game was played, Jones was put in the box as Kansas' twirler, and succeeded in holding the Quakers to three hits. The game was played in a field of mud, but notwithstanding, only one error was chalked up against the Jayhawkers. The final score was 3 to 1. The Chillocco Indians played Thursday at Chillocco, Okla., were defeated in a good game by the score of 6 to 1. Meade was in the box for Kansas and allowed only one hit, while the University boys found the Chillocco pitcher for six hits. At Norman, Okla., where the boys played yesterday, they were defeated by Oklahoma University by the score of 5 to 1. Reports from this game or meagre, and beyond the news of the fact that Hoffman pitched and Oklahoma University won, nothing is known. The concluding game with Oklahoma was played this afternoon. The team goes to Austin, Texas, for the next game, Monday, with Texas University. NUMBER 50 ELIGIBILTY RULES. A Summary of the Scholarship Requirements. Owing to the general lack of information as to the rules for eligibility of athletes, the Kansan publishes the following rules of the Council and the Athletic Board on the subject. The following two rules in regard to scholarship were adopted by the University Council, June 8, 1905. "That the rule requiring the making up of all failures before graduation be abolished." "That no student may be given a degree in any school of the University, nor transferred from one school to another, who has outstanding failure in more than one-third of his work in any one term or more than a total of fifteen hours." The action taken by the Athletic Board Tuesday noon was as follows: Resolved, that the Athletic board interpret the action of the Council in regard to eligibility as follows: 1. A failure which the student is required to make good will bar the students eligibility until his record in the Registrar's office shows that it has been made good. 2. When the Dean and Head of the Department concerned relieve a student from the necessity of making a credit in the specific course in which he has failed or when a student has been transferred from one school to another in spite of a failure, we will consider the failure in either such case as barring his eligibility for the current term and the next term in which he is registered. This bar will be removed when he has successfully completed the full minimum work for his class and school in any term after the one in which he failed. 3. We will in no case consider a failure as affecting eligibility if the course in which the student fails is in excess of the minimum requirement for the class and the school in which he enrolled. Representatives of Students in Chapel May 11. A UNIVERSITY DAY. The plan formulated by the class presidents and members of the chapel committee is to have a University Day in chapel once a year. This year the date will be Friday, May 11. Student organizations will furnish music and three representatives of the students will speak in chapel. Names of candidates for this honor must be in not later than chapel time next Monday, and only those names will be considered who have ten names or more signed to their nomination. On Tuesday at chapel, votes will be taken by ballot on the persons so nominated, and the three highest men in the list will have places on the program May 11. A University Vesper Service of unusual interest will be given in the University Chapel next Sunday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock. Do not fail to be there before the whistle blows, as the service has been seriously marred so far by the people coming late. Both from a musical point of view and from the point of view of the address the service promises to be one of the best of the year. The Vesper Service. The musical program is as follows: Organ Prelude, Offertory, Rheinberger; Lord's Prayer, Merbecke, Arr. by Stainer; Venite, Woodward; In Excelsis, Tenner; Anthem, Hark, Hark My Soul, Shelley; Hymn 85, Thomas. A. Arne; Anthem from Holy City, Gaul, Chorus of ladies voices with soprano and bass obligato; Organ and Violin, Ave Maria, Bach—Gounod. Miss Bessie Wheaton, soprano, and Mr.L. A. Hubach, bass, both of Kansas City and well known here and much appreciated on previous occasions will assist the University chorus. The address will be given by Doctor Moffat, President of Washington and Jefferson college and Moderator of the Presbyterian General Assembly and is sure to be of deep spiritual interest. SCHOOL ATHLETES BUSY. Teams Organize for Inter-School Meet, April 14. All the athletes of the University, and some who have never thought of being athletes until the last few days, are turning their attention to the interschool tournament to be held on McCook field, Saturday, April 14. At present the odds seem to be in favor of the Laws and Engineers, with the College an unknown quantity. The Engineers count on taking all the long runs while the sprints will go to the Laws. The College has a number of good athletes but so far this season they have not been doing any training, while the men of the other schools have been doing work ever since the track season opened. Though the time is short the college expects to get men in good shape for the long runs and some of the sprints, so that neither of the other schools will have a walk-away when the meet is called. The game of baseball between Emporia College and the University will be played the same afternoon as a counter attraction. The Laws yesterday elected Captain Driscoll, of the track team, as captain of the Law team. Broadie and Justice will have charge of the weight events, McNaughton will have charge of the sprints, and Blood will manage the long distance runners. For the College "Cap." Young was elected captain, Finch will train the sprinters, Hovey the distance men, and Putnam the weight men. The Engineers have not yet elected their captain but Butler will doubtless be chosen to lead them. Quill Club Elects. The Quill club elected the following new members at their regular meeting last Tuesday: Mr. Notstein, a faculty member, Joeph Murray, and Misses Georgia Baird, Dora Monahan, Elsie Hoskins. Mina Everett, Ruby Jackson, and Mabel Davis. The next meeting of the club Tuesday will be open to the public. Miss Lynn of the English department will speak to the club on quantity in verse. CONTRACT LET NADELHOFFER OF LAWRENCE TO BUILD GYM. Will be Ready for Commencement Next Year---Ornaments Left Out. The contract for the building of the gymnasium and auditorium building was awarded by the Board of Regents yesterday to William Nadelhoffer of Lawrence at $71,000. Mr. Nadelhoffer is the contractor that built the Law building. The contract calls for the building to be ready for occupancy by Commencement week of 1907 but allows until July 1 for the final completion of the work. Several changes had to be made in the plans as originally designed by Architect Stanton in order to complete the building within the appropriation of $100,000. Some of the details of the interior and some of the ornamentation will have to be left off, and the swimming pool may have to be placed under one of the wings of the building instead of in an annex as was originally intended. Aside from these changes, the building will be substantially the same as the original plans. Mr. Stanton, the architect, was instructed to make drawings for the Rosedale hospital in order that the plans can be approved and bills called for at the May meeting of the board. Dr. Moffat Speaks. Dr. Moffat, president of Washington-Jefferson College and for this year Moderator of the Presbyterian Assembly lectured last night in University Hall. The audience was of fair size considering the weather. The theme of the discourse was that there is no antagonism between Christianity and science, that Christianity is a life, and that though there may be different theological beliefs, no one striving to lead a Christian life will have any difficulty in reconciling the two. He developed the subject by first discussing the Copernician theory and its effect on the thought of the world, then the discoveries of geologists, and, lastly, the Darwinian theory. Dr. Moffat will deliver the address at the regular Vesper services tomorrow afternoon at four o'clock. David F. McFarland, of the chemistry department lectures on "The Manufacture of Iron and Steel" tonight before the American Chemical Society in Central high school at Kansas City. The lecture will be illustrated by lantern slides. If you are a beauty we can take it, if not we can make it. Bauer & Coffey, 1103 Main St., Kansas City, Mo.

SATURDAY, MARCH 24. 1906 With a good pitcher for every day in the week, the base ball team seems in a fair way to do something on its southern trip. One of the instructors of the University has become so enthusiased with the importance of his line of work that he seems to have forgotten the existence of all other work. When his students began to cut their other classes to do their work with him, the other instructors began to find fault, but not before the students had framed a petition to the faculty to have the amount of work cut down to a reasonable amount. Enthusiasm for what one is doing is commendable, but there is a limit to the time that a student can give to a course. The principle that it never pays to change a well established policy in a hurry was never better exemplified than in the predicament in which the University Council and the Athletic Board are placed by their action of this week, altering the interpretation of the scholarship requirements for athletes. The rule that the University has adhered to for years is that an athlete must make a creditable standing in all work that he undertakes, and that a failure to do so would disqualify him for any participation in sports. This is a rule confirmed without discussion at the Topeka Conference this year. The University, which is supposed to set the pace in such matters in the state, has repudiated this rule, and in consequence is practically out of it, so far as the Association of Kansas colleges is concerned. The situation has been here for some time that if a student failed in a course that he was carrying over and above the minimum requirements, on recommendation of the head of the department and the dean he might be excused from making up that course without injuring his standing in the University, or hindering his graduation. An old rule that has been in force for several years, will allow a man to change from one school to another with a maximum of five hours work back. That is, if he has flunked or been conditioned in not to exceed five hours of work, he may enter another school and take a degree from it without making up the deficiency. The two rules thus held lower requirements for good standing and for graduation than were required of any one wishing to represent the University in any way. The board and the council held that it was inconsistent, and decided to fix the academic qualification as their standard. Accordingly the Board passed the rule that if a student changed his enrollment with the maximum of flunks against him, and did creditable work for one full term in the other school, the flunk should no longer be a bar to participation in athletic sports. This was ratified by the University Council on appeal. Granting that all these arguments be true, the action was a direct reversal of the well defined policy of the University, and was deserving of much fuller consideration than it received. It may be true as has been reported, that all of the Big Nine institutions practice the rule that the Council has just adopted, but the fact is that no one here is certain enough to make positive statement to that effect. It seems that as much as that should have been certain before action was taken. The action has placed us out of line with the colleges of the state, and may result in queering us with other institutions with whom we have athletic relations. UNIVERSITY CALENDAR. Sunday, March 25.

The beautiful Valkyrie maidens, those mythological daughters of the God Wotan that inspired the first of the "Nibelungen Ring" music dramas which Kansas City is to have an opportunity to hear during the coming Grand Opera Season under the direction of Mr. Henry W. Savage at the Willis Wood Theatre, constitute one of the most picturesque conceptions employed by the German master in any of his descriptive melodic compositions. The production of "The Valkyrie" is Mr. Savage's most important effort next to "Parsifal," and will attract hundreds of music-lovers to Kansas City on Thursday, March 29 and at the Saturday matinee. "The Valkyrie" was first sung in English in Boston and the production was pronounced a greater triumph than any previous attempt to picture the opera in America. Mr. Savage has the only complete "road" production of the opera, and the Kansas City performance is guaranteed to be as complete and perfect as when given in the East. These fabled warrior maids were supposed to follow the heroes in battle and carry their bones back to Valhalla, where the mighty fighters joined the forces of the gods. To illustrate the "Ride of the Valkyries," the music of which is so often given in concert programs, was a task that has always puzzled the great producers. At first huge hobby horses ridden by dummy figures were drawn back and forth behind gauze curtains at the rear of the stage. At the Opera in Paris these "prop" horses are still employed. But in Munich and in this country they have been discarded and the "Ride" is pictured by means of patient electrical effects. It is necessary to show the arrival and departure of the maidens, galloping through the clouds on their wind-horses, and when properly pictured this scene becomes one of the artistic achievements of the opera. The orchestra of sixty musicians will begin the magnificent prelude at 7:30 o'clock precisely for the evening performance, and at 1:30 for the matinee. The other performances during the Opera Season will include the first English version in the West of Verdi's brilliant "Rigololetto" on Friday night, March 30, and the great revival of "Faust" for the closing performance Saturday night, March 31.

In discussing the subject Mr. Flint said, "Modern advertising is an art based on psychology. It determines to a large extent what we eat, drink and wear, in fact it decides where our money goes, and perhaps how we get on in the world. One's success in advertising depends on knowing the business and then using a 'follow-up system of cultivation.'" In his next lecture, Mr. Flint will speak on, "The Financial Side of Advertising." Harold D. Burdick, formerly Kansas University 1907, now a midshipman at the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, has become an expert swordsman.

Prof. Dexter Examines So Called "Football Injuries." Fischer's An interesting inquiry has been made by Prof. Dexter of Illinois, who believed (as many other football enthusiasts do) that the multitude of injuries ascribed to football are in a great measure only newspaper yarns. In working out this theory, he wrote a personal letter to each man whose name was published as injured by football. Professor Dexter sent out one hundred and thirty five letters. Of these twenty-four were returned marked, "No such person in the directory." To the seventy-eight letters which were sent to college players sixty replies were received. Fourteen of these reported their injuries as false and only five could be described as being seriously injured. Canvassers For Our New Book.

St. Rowlands & Stevenson, How Would You Like to solicit for a set of books and have back of you the enthusiastic cooperation of the greatest men in the world—college presidents, bankers, railroad presidents, millionaires, members of the cabinet, senators and representatives? Such are the books of the Personal Help Library. "Ready Money" has been published only a year and "Thoughts That Inspire" six months, yet they are being used in the pulpit and on the lecture platform, in high schools, colleges and Y. M. C. A. night schools. J, J. Gregory has written us that he intends to put "Ready Money" into the Y. M. C. A. libraries of the United States, into the libraries of the navy and army posts, and theological schools. He has bought, since the first of January, over 700 copies. Great corporations are buying them for their employees. The man who handles these books has a great message and he gets a great response. 10 books have ever been so enologized ar received with such enthusiasm. One agent sold eighteen extra in four hours while delivering. A salesman for another company says that his business was increased $150 in one week by READING "Ready Money." Another wrote that he had taken a forty-five-dollar course on "Scientific Salesmanship," but that he got more out of "Ready Money" than out of that whole course. The president of one subscription company ordered a number of copies of "Ready Money" for his agents and stated that it ought to be part of the outfit of every agent, no matter what he is selling. If agents of other companies are having their sales increased by using "Ready Money" as a text, what ought not you to do selling "Ready Money"? YOU CAN SELL THE BOOKS WITHOUT WEARING YOURSELF OUT TALKING. You can get a business training YOURSELF by selling books that give other people a business training. Write for terms or see Mr. C, E.

In the announcements of the new catalogue which is now in the press, the number of University holidays is considerably reduced. There will be no spring vacation at all, and other vacations are cut down so as to make the work of the University more continuous than has been the case in the past. The University will open on Monday after both the Thanksgiving and Christmas recesses, instead of on Tuesday as before. On account of this saving in actual time of work, the University will not open until the 12th of September next fall. Soph Baseball Manager.

The Voting Was on School Lines The K. C. Medics Voted Straight. Dennis J. Sheedy, Clyde Baldwin and John F. Bender were chosen by the balloting this morning to represent the students on the program University day, May 11. The voting was entirely on school lines, and the campaign was on the whole one of the unique events of University politics. The Law school nominated Sheedy in a meeting last Friday, just after the announcement of the contest for places on the program. By the promise to support the Medics and the Pharmics in their future political battles, the Laws secured the promise of their solid support for Sheedy. Then they petitioned the committee to allow all three votes to be cast for one man, and by this means cinched the election of their candidate by a large margin. To make assurance doubly sure, Sheedy's "manager," J. W. Blood, went to Kansas City and secured the vote of the upper class Medics for his candidate. Fifty-five votes were secured in this way, and if they had understood the voting of three votes for one man, Sheedy's total would have been 1011. As it was he secured 901 votes to 562 for Baldwin, and 536 for Bender. All the men chosen are seniors, Sheedy in the Law School, Baldwin in the Engineering School, and Bender in the College. The active interest taken in the choice of speakers promises a very flattering support for the program May 11, when the successful candidates will speak. NUMBER 51 Display Cases for Geology. Prof. E. Haworth has just had a magnificent show case built for the geological museum, which is located on the third floor of Snow Hall. The case was designed by Prof. Haworth and is built on entirely original plans. The case contains four specimen decks, capable of holding many hundreds of specimens each. It is of quartersawed oak, 16x8x4. Eight oak pillars support the structure, and it is really a work of art. Mr. Haworth said, "I had the case constructed according to my own ideas at a cost of $315." The geological museum has been growing rapidly in value during the last few years owing to Mr. Haworth's activity and Mr. Kay is transforming the room from an unorganized aggregation to an orderly collection of specimens. ELEVEN GAMES SCHEDULED. No Tiresome Long Trips for the Football Men. The Kansas football schedule for next year includes eleven games, five of them with state universities. Six of them are at Lawrence and the longest trip away is the St. Louis trip Nov. 3, for the game with St. Louis university. The schedule is: Sept. 29—Kansas State Normal at Lawrence. Oct. 3-College of Emporia at Lawrence. Oct.18-University of Arkansas at Lawrence. Oct. 27- University of Colorado at Lawrence. Oct. 20—University of Oklahoma at Lawrence. Nov. 3-University of St. Louis at St. Louis. Nov. 10—Washburn at Topeka. Nov. 17—University of Nebraska at Lincoln. Nov.17—University of Nebraska at Lincoln. Nov.24—Agricultural College at Manhattan. Nov.29-Missouri at Kansas City. The important changes from from schedules are the dropping of Haskell, the addition of St. Mary's, the substitution of St. Louis for Washington university and the resumption with Nebraska. A very gratifying feature of the schedule is the absence of long tiresome trips which invariably put the team in such bad condition that they cannot play a game that would do them justice. With the present prospects for a team next year, Kansas should come out at the end of the season with a large share of these games to her credit. Glee Club Started Yesterday. The Glee Club left Monday for their spring trip over the northern part of the state, to be gone for a week, giving concerts every night. They will spend Sunday in Minneapolis, Kas. The University has had printed for them the programs that will be used. They are neat eight page booklets, filled with views of the University buildings and grounds with the middle pages devoted to the program of the Club and the roll of Club members. This is the first time that the Club has been recognized in an official way. Professor and Mrs. Hubach accompanied the Club, the former as director and the latter as accompaniist. J. W. Kayser Goes to K. C. Star. J. W. Kayser, editor of the Kansan during the past year goes to Kansas City this week to accept a position on the Star. He has finished his work in the College and will get his degree in June. He is the second University student who has gone to the Star this year. HOWLAND SCHOLARSHIP. Applications for It Must be Filed by April 15. The Marcella Howland memorial scholarship which yields about sixty dollars is open to the young ladies of the Junior and Senior classes of the College and is awarded each year by a committee of the faculty of which Professor Galloo is chairman. Applications for the scholarship should be made by April 15 and handed either to the chairman of the committee or to the Chancellor's secretary. Miss Howland was graduated from the University in 1890. A young woman of high ideals, she gave promise of a splendid career. After graduation she attended an eastern college and returned to enter upon her work when death called her away. To perpetuate her memory a fund of one thousand dollars was invested, the income of which was to be given as aid to worthy young women of the University to enable them to complete their course. Had to Work on Streets. The active interest taken by the University students in the primaries last week recalls a time when a lot of students were caught for their poll tax and had to work on the city streets. It had been customary for the officials to overlook the fact that a number of students claimed citizenship in the city in order to vote. On this occasion the students were on the losing side, and the heartless officials warned them to work their tax in the time honored manner. As it happened, they shirked so successfully that they were discharged at the end of the first half of the day. Northwestern to Quit Football. The Board of Overseers of Northwestern University has adopted a resolution abolishing football for five years. The debt of $12,000 incurred by the department during the football season has been assumed by the University. Hereafter a regular member of the faculty will have charge of all athletics there. Will Be Three Hundred Guests. The Junior "Prom" to be given on the 19th of April will be the best ever given by any Junior class if the expectations of the class officers materialize. This year at least, all seniors of the four year schools of the University are eligible to be guests of the '07 people provided they paid the "Prom" assessment last year. All members of either class should hasten to make "dates" and relieve the invitation committee. More than three hundred invitations will be issued. OKLAHOMA WON SOONERS TAKE BOTH GAMES FROM BASE BALL TEAM. Lack of Practice Telling on the Boys-Left Saturday for Austin. The base ball team has been only moderately successful on their southern trip; although they were able to annex the first two games easily, the Sooners took both games with apparent ease. However, the supporters of the team should not feel discouraged at such a showing, as Oklahoma has been practising for the last two months and no doubt was in good condition. In the contest on Saturday at Norman the final score was 8 to 4 in favor of Oklahoma and it is to be surmised that the Sooners were getting even for the walloping they received in football last November. Kirmeyer was in the box for the Jayhawkers and kept the hits scattered but was not well supported in the field. The boys have been very reticent about sending any definite news and the ones who deserve praise for good playing will probably escape notice. The team left on Sunday for Austin, where they played the Texans yesterday and today. Nothing has been heard from Manager Lansdon, and all that can be done is to hope that the boys put up a creditable game. Texas had a strong team last year and beat the champion Missouri team. "Innes-Festival." Placards bearing this inscription are to be seen all over the hill, and many supposed them to be advertising for a great sale of some sort at Mr. Innes' down town. But they are not. They are to announce the famous Innes Band of sixty musicians, which will be here for the annual music festival. The band is one of the very best and is a valuable addition to the festival. Musicians joining the Innes band after having played with other organizations have been amazed at the character of the programmes arranged by the great band leader. They have been confronted by musical compositions the like of which are never attempted by even the best of the concert bands now touring this country and Europe. Innes has blended his band in such a manner as to secure the effects of a symphony orchestra rather than that of an organization which depends more upon the loud tones for its effects. Innes is inclined towards the compositions which were written for symphony orchestras, but gives a fair share of popular music at each of his programmes.

The Kansan expected to bring out its spring poem in this issue, but the weather of the past week threw the muse into violent chills from which she has not yet recovered. The usual cutting of classes incident to vacations begin today. The abolition of spring vacation takes away one temptation, which draws students from the straight and narrow path. One branch of outdoor sports that has been almost totally neglected here is tennis. There are a number of enthusiasts in the University, and with some good courts the number would be greater. Tennis tournaments are a recognized feature of athletic life at many other institutions. Why not here? There's no keeping politics out of University affairs. The committee which arranged for the selections of speakers for University day in chapel, thought they had arrived at a means of doing it by having the nominations in the form of signed petitions. But within a half hour after the announcement, three schools had entered into a compact to concentrate their support upon one man. It's no use. The spirit is irrepressible. Mr. Reid's Lecture. Albert T. Reid, publisher of the Leavenworth Post, addressed the newspaper and art classes Friday on "Newspaper Illustrating." His talk was a very interesting one, and told of the various processes, through which a picture goes for reproduction at its different stages. Mr. Reid is one of the leading cartoonists of the west, and is also the proprietor of the Reid-Stone Art School, of Topeka. Miss Mary Chamberlain, of Topeka, spent the past week at the Pi Phi house. "St. Patrick Was an Engineer." The engineering students at Missouri took their annual day off on St. Patrick's anniversary and rendered due honor to the patron saint of the Irish, who, as they assert, was an engineer. At ten o'clock all the students lined up in the quadrangle and on all fours in the snow, went through the grand "Kow Tow" before the jolly saint. "The Shamrock," a little paper published by the engineers on St. Patrick's day, contained the following: St. Patrick was an Engineer, he was, he was! For he surveyed the Emerald Isle, And made its map and a profile. Erin Go Bragh. Rah! For the Engineers. St. Patrick was an Engineer, he was, he was! For he was the gun with a monkey wrench.

GRAND OPERA STARS TO SING IN KANSAS CITY. Some of the Brilliant Artists from the Combined "Parsifal" and English Grand Opera Company Under Mr. Henry W. Savage's Canner. Mr. Henry W. Savage will introduce to Kansas City a host of glorious voiced English singing songbirds when his combined "Parsifal and English Grand Opera Companies appears at the Willis Wood for tour performances, beginning Thursday, March 29. Three different masterpieces are to be given, including two performances of Wagner's celebrated Nieblungen Ring music-drama "The Valkyrie" that begins at 7:30 and 1:30 promptly, with complete productions of Verdi's exquisite "Rigoletto" and Gonnon's "Faust." Opera lovers in Kansas City and surrounding points have been looking forward to this brief season of grand opera ever since it was known that an opportunity would be afforded to hear "The Valkyrie" which Mr. Savage has been the first to translate to the American stage. The work is one of such lyric, dramatic and scenic grandeur as to be counted a rival of last year's production of "Parsifal." This is the first of the "Ring" that has been brought west of Chicago. The importance of the occasion has induced the railroads to announce special rates of one and a third fare for the round trip' and hundreds of opera lovers will visit Kansas City to enjoy the superb repertory. CHANGES IN MINNESOTA DAILY Two Faculty Members on Board of Publishers. At a meeting of the subscribers of the Minnesota Daily, this week, it was decided to allow two faculty members on the board of publishers, a body which succeeds the old board of directors.

The University of Heidelberg has recently secured a new building for its library, which contains more than 700,000 volumes. Over twenty miles of shelf space are required for the books. On account of the financial burden of her athletic teams the Kentucky university has withdrawn from the field of intercollegiate sports. The action was taken by the board of curators at their recent semi-annual session. The Ohio legislature has passed a bill providing that any student of any university or school, public or private, found guilty of hazing, shall be fined not more than $200 or imprisoned for not more than six months, or both. The heads or instructors of schools who knowingly permit hazing are amenable to a fine not exceeding $100. Canvassers For Our New Book. Make large wages selling our new book to retail grocers.
