UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS THE KANSAN. VOLUME III. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 2, 1907. BILL HAS PASSED HOUSE TODAY APPROVED OF UNIVERSITY AP- PROPRIATION BILL WITHOUT CHANGE. Gives University $780,834 for Next Biennium--Four New Buildings Granted: General Engineering Mining Engineering, Power Plant and Repair Shop. At three o'clock this afternoon, a special dispatch to the Kansan was received from Chancellor Strong in Topeka, announcing the passage of the University appropriation bill, in exactly the same form as it passed the Senate some two weeks ago. It is now in the hands of the Governor for signature and only awaits this mere formality before becoming a law. The bill grants to the University everything, even to the smallest item, that was asked for by Chancellor Strong at the beginning of the session. It appropriates in all for the maintenance of the University during the coming two years and for the erection of the four new buildings asked for, the grand total of $780,834. Of this, $490, 000 is to be used for the maintenance of the University, and the remaining two hundred and ninety thousand dollars is for the erection of the new buildings and for other minor items. The four new buildings granted by the legislature are a general engineering building to cost $150,000, a mining engineering building to cost $50,000, a FARAGHER GETS FELLOWSHIP power plant to cost $50,000,and a repair shop to cost $7,752. The appropriations, just made will for the first time in its history give the University a sum anywhere near adequate to its needs and the next two years should see it take larger strides forward than ever before. Will Do Research Work with a Boston Laundry. BE AT CHAPEL. The most pleasing feature in the granting of the appropriation was the fact that the bill passed with practically no opposition. Throughout the entire session, the legislature has had the friendliest attitude possible toward the University and it accepted without question the recommendations of Chancellor Strong. Research work is soon to be begun in the Chemistry department to try to disclose some process to make clothes last longer. For this purpose the Alden-Spears Laundry Supplies Company of Boston has established a valuable fellowsip in the University. Fred Farahger assistant in the Chemistry department, has gone to Boston to do original research work, and there is a possibility for Prof. Duncan and Mr. Faragher to make a trip to Europe. The fellowship was secured through the influence of Prof. Duncan, and is said to pay $500 a year. Mr. Faragher, who is doing work for a doctor's degree, will have the fellowship this year. After studying for some time in Boston he will spend a few weeks in Chicago investigating laundry processes. The work is being done for the purpose of discovering some process for washing clothes that will prevent their chemical destruction. Chancellor Strong is greatly elated over the passage of the University appropriation bill. In a long distance telephone conversation this afternoon he said: "No, I don't want to announce a holiday for Monday, but I want to see every loyal student of the University at chapel. I will have some interesting things to tell them." CASH PRIZE IS OFFERED. By Electrical Engineering Society for Best Design for Pin.

NUMBER 43 Friday morning two speeches were given in chapel, one by Prof. F. E. Bryant of the English department, the other by Ewing Herbert, editor of the Brown County World. Mr. Herbert's talk was purely incidental, as he was here for the purpose of lecturing to the newspaper classes. As last Thursday was the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Henry W. Longfellow, Professor Bryant used the great poet as his subject, discussing him as the peerless poet, as a perfect gentleman—a man whose soul was almost spotless and whose life, to himself and others, was the ideal one. Mr. Herbert pleased the students with a peculiarly humorous, rambling talk upon the good fellowship, innate courtesy and nobility to be gotten from a college life. He said that he himself had received several lessons in courtesy from college students. "Your education is not gotten from books, however essential they may be. It is from the associations of the college life and ideals that you receive your real education. And the spirit of comradeship instilled into you here is doing much to spread good fellowship and concord throughout the country. It is the acquisition of such a spirit and character that constitutes the real liberal education, and fits for life in its broadest sense. Carry your feeling of good fellowship to your homes and take your parents into your confidence as friends." Gave Concert at Ottawa. The mandolin club, accompanied by the Jayhawker quartette, gave a concert to a large and enthusiastic audience at Ottawa last night. There were eighteen in the mandolin club and the concert was given just as rendered at Lawrence. Charley Hoar and John Bull were the star performers and were repeatedly encored. --- Misses Bess Tusten and Elsie Loucks andMr.CecilForter spent Saturday and Sunday at the home of Misses Lucy and Alicia McNaughton at Tonganoxie.

OPERA WAS GOOD "THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE PLEASED A FULL HOUSE. Work of Principals and Chorus Was Excellent—A Second Performance Tonight. The presentation of Gilbert and Sullivan's Comic opera, "The Pirates of Penzance" before a large audience at the opera house Thursday evening proved one of the notable events of the year. The play represented long and strenuous preparation on the part of the cast, the University orchestra, and the members of the faculty who directed the work, and the result fully justified their efforts. The production richly merited the high praise it is receiving on every hand. Though the opera had little plot, it was full of movement and good situations. Some of the latter were rather difficult to handle, but the members of the cast entered into their parts with such ease and interest that everything ran smoothly. Mr. Sam Forter played the part of a pirate king in a proper dashing way, and Mr. Everett Copley was cleverly military as major general Stanley. The songs of both took well with the house. Mr. Archie Narramore as Frederic, the pirate apprentice, and Miss Queena Beauchamp as Mabel, youngest daughter of General Stanley, were the hero and heroine of the play. Their parts, though difficult, were well taken, and they sang well. Miss Florence Heizer made the character of Ruth, a piratical maid-of-allwork, one of the features of the play. Mr. Frickleton did good work as Samuel, lieutenant of the pirate band. The chorus of General Stanley's pretty daughters, and the chorus of fierce pirates sang in a way that showed much ability and thorough training. The chorus of policemen was one of the funniest things in the evening's performance. Some of the songs were spiced with local allusions. The University orchestra furnished the accompaniment in a way that reflected great credit upon the organization. A second presentation will be given tonight. The proceeds will go to a fund for the relief of MacDowell, the great composer, who has recently lost his mind.

While the regular fifty day session is ended the legislature will be in session all of next week. Chancellor Strong went to Topepa today. He feels little concern, and thinks the University will receive the much needed appropriation before the middle of the coming week. Today's number of the Kansan is the first paper to be issued under the management of the newly elected officers. In assuming the duties of issuing the Kansan the new management realizes that there are many responsibilities incurred. In the beginning we want to edit a paper free from color so far as factions are concerned. We shall try to gather all the news of interest to the University students and whenever a student knows of an item that should be printed we shall be glad to be handed the item or notified by phone. If we accomplish our aims the management can and will freely ask for the most hearty cooperation of both the faculty and the student body. The Kansan will be used to advertise every University organization which relies upon the students for its support. And whenever any department is failing to receive the proper support the Kansan will be used to set the facts before its subscribers. The new management realizes how prone newspapers are to make mistakes. Whenever such is the case don't get sore and pout around for a week but come directly to the editor and we shall be glad to correct and explain errors. The fact that the University appropriation bill has not yet come up before the lower house has no adverse significance. It has been looked for every day this week and Chancellor Strong believes that the only thing causing the delay is the very many matters of great importance that have been occupying the attention of the Legislature The cast and directors of "The Pirates of Penzance" are to be congratulated upon the excellence of their production. It has meant a vast amount of hard and faithful work for them and it is a matter of gratification that their efforts have been rewarded by such hearty support of the University public. To please a chapel audience is not the easiest thing in the world, but Ewing Herbert "made good" with his forceful and manly address yesterday morning. The University can not get too many representatives of Mr. Herbert's kind of citizenship on its chapel rostrum. Who thought there was a person in the University who had the nerve to take a picture from the Pirates of Penzance bulletin board in broad day light? Guilty?

LECTURE TO JOURNALISTS. Ewing Herbert Gave Interesting Talk to Newspaper Class. "The chief purpose of conducting a newspaper," said Ewing Herbert, in his address before the young journalists Friday morning, "is to upbuild and better the community and the state in which it is located." Mr. Herbert talked on "What People Like to Read" and in his own entertaining way said in part: "Nothing is readable, nothing is worth while, that does not have feeling in it. In so far as you can put feeling in your writing, just that far will you be successful in getting out a paper that the people like to read." Mr. Herbert's paper, the Brown County World, is one of the few country papers of the state that carries no regular editorial page, putting the editorial matter in with the regular news. His paper is also unique in that the advertisements are printed in the same type as the common news columns. In appearance Mr. Herbert is very dignified and grave, his coal black eyes set back under a heavy brow, his deep melodious voice together with his excellent command of language and keen sense of humor, make him a forceful and interesting speaker. The Journalism classes considered his address one of the best of the season. Ice cream at Vic's. Wilder Bros. CUSTOM LAUNDRY Special attention given to ladies' work.

Dr. Snow's Reports Show Decrease in Velocity of Wind. Willis Moore, chief of the U. S. Weather Bureau, has written to Dr. Snow of the University, inquiring about the instruments with which he has measured the velocity of the wind. The report or Dr. Snow and the weather bureau do not coincide. The weather bureau in its report claims that the velocity of the wind has not decreased in the last seventeen years. Dr. Snow declares that the velocity of the wind has decreased 15,000 miles a year from the records of the preceding seventeen years. He bases his assertions upon the records of the anemometer, the anemoscope and other instruments for measuring the velocity of the wind. These instruments were installed in the University observatory July 1, 1872 after the building of Fraser Hall. These instruments cost the University four hundred dollars and are absolutely accurate having been tested several times. Dr. Snow says a higher velocity is registered by these instruments than by any in the west, except on the highest mountains. The reason for this is the favorable location, as the top of Fraser Hall is eleven hundred feet above sea level and 250 feet above the Kaw valley. He attributes the disagreement with his observation to the comparatively low situation of the other observing stations of Kansas. Dr. Snow also states that the amount of rainfall has increased at about the same rate the velocity of the wind has decreased and that there is more moisture in the air than formerly. N. E.

The University basket ball team will start on its second trip Tuesday afternoon at Warrensburg, Missouri, where they will play the Missouri teachers that night. Games with K.C. A.C., Independence A.C., Wyandotte A.C., Kirksville Osteopaths and two games with M.S. U. at Columbia follow in order. The team won half of the games on the first trip, but as there are seven games on the second trip they expect to win four. The men who make the trip are: McCune, William Miller, Hackett, Milton Miller, Woodward, Wohler and Bergen. The Man in Overalls. Next Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 in the chapel Rev. A. A. Tanner, of Alton, Illinois, will give the lecture which was so enthusiastically received by the Knife and Fork club at Kansas City last December. The subject of the lecture is "The Man in Overalls," and the lecture accordingly deals with the old question known as the Labor Problem, but it treats it in an entirely new light. Rev. Tanner left the ministry some six years ago and entered a large factory in Cleveland, Ohio, as a day laborer. He stayed with the company until he was promoted to overseer. Having experienced the workmen's hardships and the employers' troubles and having made a careful study of them both he left his work in order to lecture on the relation of laborer to employer from the standpoint of each. Rev. Tanner is especially sane and liberal and his lecture should be a treat as well as profitable. The lecture is under the auspices of the Sociology departmet and Professor Blackmar is especially anxious that there be a large crowd present. Co-ed Wants Square Deal. An anxious co-ed hands this piece to the Kansan for publication: "Mr. Notestein has invited the boys of his English history classes to come around to his room of evenings and discuss the work with him over their cigars. The girls of the ciass feel that their opportunities for acquiring a thorough knowledge of the subject are being curtailed, that Mr. Notestein is obviously discriminating against coeducation. It is their opinion that Room 11 of Fraser Hall is admirably adapted to a five o'clock tea." If you are going to entertain for Washington's Birthday, get your souvenirs at Weidemann's.

Innes, Bullene & Hackman NEBRASKA ALSO CORNHUSKER STUDENTS END DORSE "BIG FOUR." In a Mass Meeting Unanimous Sentiment Was for Missouri Valley Conference. "If Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin insist on our football eleven playing under the strict Chicago Conference rules in the games with their teams next fall, we favor severing athletic relations with those institutions and joining the "Big Four" in the Missouri Valley." This was the unanimous sentiment of the students of the University of Nebraska at a great mass meeting held yesterday to protest against the loss of Captain-elect Weller and Little of their football team under the Chicago Conference rulings. Kansas has been waiting for just such a move on the part of the Cornhuskers, whom the Jayhawkers consider their logical rivals, ever since the "Big Four" project came up. The Nebraska faculty is always considerate of the wishes of the students and this means that Nebraska will join the "Big Four." With Nebraska in the Kansas City Conference, Kansas students will no longer object to the "Big Four" as it will become the "Big Five." Meeting of Chemical Association. The Kansas City section of the American Chemical Association met here last Saturday. Dr.J.R.Meechel read a paper on "Expert testimony in chemical cases" and "The determination of small quantities of alcohol in beverages." Dr.Meechel told a number of cases in which he was called to give expert testimony. - Dr. H. B.

The "Farmers Ball" given in Fraternal Aid Hall last night by the Juniors was perhaps the most successful class party of the season, in point of fun and jollity if not in point of numbers. The revelers played around the big hall in the true care free style of country lads and lassies while the otherwise dignified walls resounded with the whistling and cheers of encore after each dance. Two handsome prizes were given for the best costumes representing the life down on the old farm.

TRAINING HARD TRACK MEN GETTING READY FOR TIGERS AT K.C. Team Will be Picked by Last of Week.—Among Other Athletes. The track team has been going through the last stages of training during the last week and a final tryout has been in progress the last week. Yesterday, while the pole vaulters and shot putters were working in the new gymnasium, Hagerman, the amateur coach of the Jayhawkers bundled the other track men into a bus and took them to the plot in front of the Santa Fe depot for a secret tryout. The result was that a few surprises were in store for the team. Newbold, who had taken second to Driscoll in the 50, also showed a surprising amount of strength, winning the half mile with Priest a close second. The course was on grass and Priest had gym shoes while Newbold had spikes, but the fact that Newbold was still strong enough to win the half after having gone through the sprints speaks well for his ability. Driscoll won the quarter with Dennis a close second. In this race McCoy took a third and Babb fourth. Cooley had no trouble in the mile, Cummins coming in second. As yet the two mile tryout has not been heard from. The men will soon be chosen in a regular tryout. In the hurdles, Lapham seems to be the best man in both flights. Butler also does the hurdles in good form but McCoy and Campbell are shoving him hard in the low ones. Russell is not yet well enough to train for the polevault and Butler has the best of the bargain for second man. The shot put has not yet been decided but no one has Putnam beaten for first place. By the end of the week all the men will be chosen for the team and a complete list of the men who will meet Missouri can be made out then. To the careful dopester, the question now is, "Will Missouri beat the Jayhawkers worse than they did last year?" Hagerman has been throwing his whole soul into the track work and he is the only one who stands between Kansas and ignominious defeat. The Missouri team is much stronger than it was last year. Hagerman is the hope of Kansas in that he is leading a seemingly forlorn hope against the best track team west of Chicago. The basket ball team is off on their second trip. We wait for the telegram, "We have met the enemy and they are ours; five Tiger scalps-four of them from Joplin." Is there any significance between the names of Newbold and Thunderbolt in describing the way the "kid" runs? NUMBER 44 ENTHUSIASM IN CHAPEL. Large Crowd Listens to Speeches. -- Chancellor Given Barrel of Apples. The passage of the appropriation bill caused a demonstrative audience to fill the chapel at the Monday morning exercises. Speeches were delivered by Chancellor Strong Dean Marvin, Professor Walker and Professor Haworth. The climax of enthusiasm was reached when a crowd of engineers bore a barrel of apples to the rostrum and Sam Forter in a neat speech presented it to the Chancellor. They were purchased by the engineers to repay the Chancellor for the barrel he gave to the legislature for the $780,000. Chancellor Strong said in his speech that the securing of the appropriation marks the greatest forward movement in the University, and for the first time puts the University in a position where it can plan for the future with a certainty of carrying out its plans. ine appropriation in detail is 1908 1909 General maintenance $245,500 $245,500 Building and equipment for civil and mechanical engineering ... 100,000 50,000 Building and equipment for mining engineering ... 50,000 Additions to power plant... 50,000 Repair shop... 7,000 Additions to heating system... 7,752 Sewers and repairs. 6,662 Extension of water mains and lights on campus ... 1,220 Law library... 6,000 Equipment of Dyche collection... 7,000 Equipment and repair of State standard weights and measures ... 3,200 Contingent fund for chancellor ... 500 500 In addition fees from students amounting to about $26,000 a year and the interest, $7,500 a year, on the permanent endowment is appropriated.

EASY VICTORY KANSAS 34, NORMAL 16, AT WARRENSBURG LAST NIGHT. --- McCune and Woodward Played Great Game.—Kansas Plays K.C.A.C.Tonight. Warrensburg, March 5, (Special.) The University of Kansas basket ball team won an easy victory here tonight from the Warrensburg Normals by a score of 34 to 16. The Jayhawkers were in excellent shape and played rings around the Warrensburg bunch. McCune at forward and Woodward at guard played the star game for the Kansans. McCune scored 15 points and despite the efforts of the local bunch he dropped the ball in the goal as often as it was passed to him. Woodward at guard never gave his man a chance for a goal, and himself scored 6 points on the Normals. It was evident from the opening of the game that the visitors had the locals beaten. Faster team work, accuracy in passing the ball,and certainty in goal throwing won the Kansans the game. Curnett was the star for Warrensburg. At the end of the first half the score stood Kansas 14, Normals 10. In the second half the visitors played even a faster game than in the first the Normals scoring only 6 points to Kansas' 20. Final score: K.U.34, Warrensburg 16. The individual score is as follows: McCune, f. field goals 6, free goals 3; W. Miller, f. field goals 2, free goals 0; Hackett, c. field goals 3, free goals 0; M. Miller, g. field goals 1, free goals 0; Woodward, g. field goals 3, free goals 0. Referee, Roy Roberts. The basket ball team left Tuesday afternoon and will be gone about eight days.

The students have ceased to worry over the legislative appropriation, but the monthly paternal appropriations are as perplexing and uncertain as ever. With evening smokers for the men and pink teas for the girls student life at K.U. should really become as great a delight as Professor Carruth's poem pictures it. If any person had made arrangements with the Kansan officials whose term of office has just lately expired in regard to items of news, he had better see the new management before any mistake is made. In passing the Kansas University appropriation bill as originally framed without scarcely a dissenting voice the Kansas legislature seem to have fully realized the possibilities and needs of it great institution. The almost unanimous feeling was, too, a compliment to Chancellor Strong of especial significance since this years appropriation was the largest amount ever asked by the University. The state has indeed, in these "piping" times of prosperity, dealt generously with her educational institutions. And what does it mean to the University? That the next two years will be the greatest in the history of the University goes without saying. But, as Chancellor Strong says, it means more for the future It may not be quite as dignified but the average student, with $25 a month allowance, can easily understand how it will be far more beneficial to the human race to discover a process to keep shirts from wearing out than to discover a dozen new chemical elements. than the present. The assurance given in the appropriation that the legislature intends to deal with us in a progressive way is worth more than even the immense sum we received. The track team is near the eve of a great contest. For two months now a large number of men have been working hard to make the team. Coach Hagerman has volunteered his services and is putting forth every effort to round up a team of athletes that can go down to Convention Hall and show that this year the victory belongs to Kansas. But as Uncle Jimmie Green said last fall before the Nebraska football game, the team alone cannot always win. It is the shout of five hundred voices sounding Rock Chalk that bears up the exhausted runner and lifts up the jumper another inch when otherwise his best effort had been made. Begin to plan now and when the 15th arrives let every loyal student that possibly can go down to Kansas City to help win that meet.

Professor Duncan Tells What Mr. Faragher's Position Means. The fellowship given to Fred Faragher by the Alden Spears Sons Company of Boston for the purpose of discovering improvements in the chemistry of laundering marks a wholly new relation between the University and State and is likely the most important fellowship that has ever been granted to a University student. In an interview in regard to the purpose and possible effect of the fellowship Professor Duncan of the Industrial Chemistry department to whom the whole idea of the fellowship is due and through whom it was offered said: "The sole purpose of the fellowship is the solution of the problems connected with the chemistry of laundering. The people of the country pay a laundry bill of nearly $20,000,000 per week and a sum vastly more than that to repair the fabrics which the laundry destroys. The launderers proceed with a joyous ignorance of the whole body of modern knowledge. We are going to try to change all that. "In attacking the problem Mr. Faragher simply pts his youth and strength and creative powers against a problem which the company with its inside knowledge of the business believes to be soluble. If he succeeds he is to receive not merely the $500 per year but 1-10 of the value of all that he discovers and consequently if he can lessen the damages by a fraction of a per cent we shall be asking him to give the University a Fine Arts building. "In addition to this, his business services will be required by the Alden Spears Sons Company at the expiration of the fellowship on a mutually satisfactory basis. "Finally, and, that is where the University comes in, during the two years tenure of fellowship he must write a monograph on the subject for the use and benefit of the people. Wilder Bros.

BOOKS BY PROF. BLACKMAR. Three Important Texts Will Come Out This Spring. Three new books will be published this spring by the MacMillan Company for Professor Blackmar, dean of the Graduate School. The books are: "The Elements of Sociology," "An Economics for High Schools," and an "Economics for Colleges." The first two are new books, the third is a revised edition of Professor Blackmar's Economics, now in use in the University. The new edition is planned to give a thorough exposition of the principles of Economics and Political Economy. Beside the topics ordinarily comprised in such a work the new edition will contain special chapters on trade unions, cooperation, transportation, commercial crises, and public control of industries. The publication, within a year, of three new books, together with the regular class work and almost weekly trips over the state as a lecturer would seem work enough for even a K. U. professor. But Dr. Blackmar is also busied with an essay on the Irrigation of Arid Lands in the United States. This work is being done for the Carnegie Institute. It is to form one chapter in a monumental history of the United States now being prepared under the auspices of that institution. Each chapter is to be written by a specialist on that particular subject. It will be some time before the book is ready for publication, but the men who are back of it hope that when it is finished the United States will have a written history commensurate with its national greatness.

A complete local telephone system in the University has been installed by the Bell Telephone Company and will be opened for public use tomorrow morning. The charging of the batteries which is now going on will be finished during the night. And then only a "hello girl" at the central board in the Registrar's office will be needed to make it possible for one to talk to any office, shop or laboratory throughout the University from any place in town, or out of town where a Bell phone can be found. The system, which has cost the Bell Company $25,000, is larger and better than most towns of 5,000 population have. It is a central energy while the magnet system is used in most small towns. A complete charging plant and set of storage batteries are located in the basement of Fraser Hall. The switch board has a capacity of 360 lines and a present equipment of 120. There are 80 working lines on it now, and five trunk lines connect it with the down town centrals. Twelve booths have been placed around, two in each building, one for local use and the other for long distance talking. The eighty phones appear cross indexed 220 times in the directory so it will be very easy to find any number you wish. The work of installation was in charge of D. Lyle, E.

Tanner, of Alton Illinois, addressed a large audience yesterday afternoon in the chapel on the subject, "The Man in Overalls." Throughout his talk he showed that the characteristics of the man in overalls bore a very close relation to the conditions under which he worked and lived. Mr. Tanner spoke from first hand knowledge of the drunkenness, immorality, profanity and other vices of the workingman in the factory, in their relation to the conditions which foster them. He dwelt strongly upon the pathos of the life of such a man, the constant fear of being out of work, and the monotony of the work he is forced to do to make a living. In contrast to all this, Mr. Tanner spoke of the warmheartedness of the laboring man toward his fellow-men. The whole subject was handled with a sympathy born of personal knowledge, a sympathy which the speaker has gained by working side by side with the man in overalls. Mr. Tanner closed his address with an appeal for better conditions which will permit the man in overalls to be a man, not a machine. At the election last fall, fortythree Kansas counties adopted the provision of the Barnes' law with reference to high schools. These counties with the twenty-two already supporting county high schools make a total of sixty-five counties with high schools that fully prepare for the Freshman class of the state university. Allen and Marshall counties have the largest number of high schools meeting the requirements of the law, Allen having six and Marshall five schools that prepare students for the Freshman class of the University.

Professor Johnson the high school visitor has returned from a trip to the Lincoln Central High School in Lincoln county. This school is making such improvements in its faculty and general equipment, as will soon enable it to enter the list of accredited schools. The Blue Rapids high school is also trying to get in line. On the night of March 1, a meeting of all the citizens was held in the opera house for the purpose of considering the needs of the high school that would, when supplied, bring it up to class 2 among the high schools in the counties that have adopted the Barnes law. Professor Johnson addressed the meeting, explaining fully the requirements which the University lay upon the accredited schools. Beside the business of the meeting there was a very excellent program furnished by the high school students. SECOND PERFORMANCE BEST. Saturday Night's Show Netted MacDowell Fund $120. The second performance of "The Pirates of Penzance" given Saturday night was better in every way than the first. While there was not a full house as on the first night, the attendance was good and the crowd was an enthusiastic one. Several more encores were called for than at the first performance. On Thursday night the play was given under difficulties. The bad weather caused delay and the play had to begin before all the principals had reached the opera house. After such a beginning the tension behind the scenes was pretty acute all through the play and it is much to the credit of the cast that there was so little evidence of it on the stage. On Saturday night there were no unfavorable circumstances. The players felt at ease and appeared at their best. The net proceeds of Saturday's performance amounted to about $120 which will be given to the MacDowell fund. --his new play One hundred and forty-eight seniors had their picture made for the Annual by Squires and every one is ready for the cut.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS VOLUME III LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 9, 1907. THREE DEFEATS KANSAS LOST TO COMPANY "F" TEAM LAST NIGHT. The Score Was 41 to 15.—K. C. A. Wednesday, and NUMBER 45 William Jewell Thursday. For the third straight time the University basket-ball team was trimmed again last night. The score was only 41 to 15, in favor of Company F of Independence. Kansas never had a chance of winning from the blow of the whistle. Kansas did not score until nearly the end of the first half when they secured five points, but the soldiers already had 23. In the second half the Kansans did little better. For the Jayhawkers McCune and Miller did noble work, but the odds were against them. Thursday night the team played William Jewell a hard game, losing by a score of 22 to 20. The Jayhawkers were defective in team work and too light for William Jewell's heavy guards. McCune was the star for Kansas. The individual score was: Miller, f. goals, 1, field throws 0, fouls 5; McCune, f. goals 4, field throws 1, fouls 5; Hacket, c., goals 1, field throws 2, fouls 8; Woodward, goal 0, field throws 0, fouls 1; Wohler, goals 2, field throws 0, fouls 0. In one of the hottest games played this year the Kansans met defeat at the hands of the K. C. A. C. team Wednesday night by a score of 44 to 35. In the first half the Kansans played rings around the K. C. athletes and at the close of the half the score was 27 to 18. The intermission, however, seems to have done the Blue Diamonds good for when they came back they began to show the Kansans up in great style, while the Jayhawkers had lost the location of the basket. When the smoke of defeat cleared it was found that Kansas had added 7 points and the Kansas Cityans 26 points. Beck, who played against Hacket at center, threw 11 goals. The team plays the Kirksville Normal tonight and the Missouri University Monday and Tuesday. Mandolin Club Election. The University Mandolin Club elected the following officers for next year at the meeting of the club Wednesday evening: Charles Hoar, president; Julius Marks, vice president; Wiliam Peet, secretary; Carl Eddy, manager. The club will go to Kansas City, Friday, and will give a concert in Kansas City that evening. Tryouts This Afternoon. In the try out for the mile and the half mile this afternoon, Worden won the mile in 5:2 and Priest won the half-mile in 2:15. The 50 yard dash and low hurdles are being run on the Fraser Hall straightaway. TEAM NEARLY COMPLETED. Bunch that Meets Tigers at Kansas City Picked Today. The men who will twist the Tiger's tail at Kansas City March 15 have been chosen with but one exception. Fourteen men have been chosen. The choice of the fifteenth and last lies between Loper, Haddock and Cummins. The following men will be photographed by Squires this afternoon, the first fourteen of whom will go to Kansas City: Parker, Young, Cooley, Babb, Lapham, McCoy, Newbold, Butler, Driscoll, Dennis, Worden, Russel, Priest, Putnam, Pringle, Cummins, Drake, Campbell, Loper and Haddock. Hagerman has Worden in special training. Some unexpected ability has been shown in the past few weeks training and that together with the fact that he already had a team not to be scoffed at, makes Coach Hagerman confident that he will "show" the Missourians a thing or two March 15. PHI BETA KAPPA BANQUET. Interesting Program Given at Presbyterian Church. The Phi Beta Kappa society held their annual banquet Friday evening in the Presbyterian church parlors. A short reception was held before the banquet for the benefit of the recently elected members. Professor Hopkins as toastmaster, made his introductions exceedingly novel and interesting by using translations from Beowulf. The toasts were: Irregular Verbs, Miss Benn. Iregular Verbs, Miss Dear If I were Roosevelt, Mr. Squire. If I were Roosevelt, Mr. Squire. Robinson Gymnasium vs. Fraternal Aid Hall, Miss Jackson. Beyond the Rio Grande, Mr. Cooper. An Imaginary Quantity, Miss Everett. The East and the West, Miss Nadine Nowlin. Mr. Dooley on Phi Beta Kappa, Mr. Tavlor. Phi Beta Kappa Ideals, Mrs. R. D. O'Leary. Little business was transacted, but the chapter refused to endorse the applications of Washburn and William Jewell for chapters. On receipt of a letter from Professor Edwin Bartow of the University of Illinois, formerly of this University, the chapter endorsed the application of that institution for a chapter of the society. President's Address. -W.P. RUSHING THE BARREL HON. F. D. COBURN TALKED. Tells Students the Importance of Letter Writing. Hon. F. D. Coburn, the man who wouldn't be a United States senator, delivered the chapel address Friday morning. His subject was "Letterwriting," and Mr. Coburn, who is considered as maintaining a model office and office methods such as letter writing, is surely qualified to discuss that subject. He evidently thought that University students are either lax or ignorant in the art of correspondence, for he went into minutest details. His address was full of good sensible information which the student needs as well as others. "Courtesy, legibility, and lucidity are the essentials for a correct letter," said Mr. Coburn, "courtsey first because it is indispensible to life in general." The talk was characteristic of the man, simple, energetic and valuable. --- FRESHMEN VS. SOPHOMORES. Lower Classmen Preparing for the Annual Debate. The Sophomore tryout to determine who shall represent that class in their debate with the Freshmen will be held tonight, probably in the X. Y. Z room. There are several contestants for the team, which will consist of three men. The Freshmen will hold their tryout next Wednesday evening also in Professor Frazier's room. The David-Goliath debate for which these tryouts are preparing will be held about April 30. George King, storekeeeper at the chemistry building, fell from a stepladder last Wednesday and broke his arm. $1==Kansas City and Return==$1 UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS VS.

A NEW DIRECTOR FORMER LAWRENCE WOMAN TO DIRECT DRAMATIC CLUB. --- Cast Selected for "The Crisis."— Play Here April 4. —Probably Outside Towns. At the Masque Club meeting Thursday night Miss Georgia Brown of Kansas City was appointed dramatic director to succeed Professor Frazier. Miss Brown is already well known here. She conducts a dramatic school in Kansas City, has had charge of the Priests of Pallas ballet for several years and directs the Woodward Stock Company productions. This company has lately put on "The Crisis," the play which will be given this spring, making her services still more valuable. At this meeting the following persons, who took parts in "David Garrick"and "My Wife's Bonnet"last fall were elected Masque members: Gus Koehler, Arthur Riddle, Wesley Stout, Willard Holmes, Glenn Shields, Miss Bess Parkman. Miss Vinnie Lewis, Miss Isabel Barton, Miss Edna Hopkins and Dan Anderson. "The Crisis" will be given here April 4 and 5. Gus Koehler, Arthur Riddle, Solon Smith Frank Ellis, Charles Kimball, Miss Bess Parkman, Miss Vinnie Lewis and Miss Edna Hopkins will take the leading parts. The management expects to take the play to Topeka, Ottawa and Emporia after showing here. The Masque Club is a student organization which chooses its own director and financial managers. The financial managers assume the responsibilities of any loss and share in the profits. Frank Kuns is spending the weekend at his home in McPherson.

Maybe the basket ball team is fixing to spring a surprise on the Tigers Monday and Tuesday nights. Judging from Mr. Coburn's address in chapel, he does not agree with the Hon. Senator Tillman, as he said: "You cannot do business with a pitchfork.". Wonder if the selection of "The Crisis" by the Dramatic Club for its next play had anything to do with the crisis which placed Mrs. Georgia Brown in as director instead of Professor E.G. Frazier. A professor in the Romance language department hit the nail on the head when he said just after a quiz the other day: "I don't think it is such a great crime 'to pony' a little in a quiz but when the students hand in their 'ponies' it's going too far." It seems altogether fitting and proper at this time "to invite the attention" of Mr. Coburn to the fact that our Chancellor does not spend his time picking stamps off unused letters. He has been busy picking bigger things from the vicinity of Topeka. The address by Hon. F. D. Coburn in chapel yesterday was far from the spread-eagle kind of oratory that appeals to a large student body, but from a practical point of view the speaker laid down some principles that are absolutely essential to a successful career. Mr. Coburn was not a college man, on the other hand his knowledge came through the hard knocks of the school of experience. He does more letter writing probably than any other man in the state and his timely warning to the students should be given careful consideration. The Chicago University students held a mass meeting in chapel this week for the purpose of stirring up enthusiasm for the coming debates. Kansas would do well to follow the example. The first University debate is on March 22, with Oklahoma. Kansas has a good team that has been working hard and it is certainly entitled to the best support that the students can give. Last year the students showed a commendable spirit towards the University debate. This year let us put more enthusiasm than ever in the debates for a debater is helped by enthusiasm as much as an athlete. Teachers Meet April 19. At the conference of superintendents and principals of accredited schools to be held here April 19 and 20, the main subject for discussion will be the biological sciences. According to a decision made at last year's meeting the instructors in Greek and Latin will also hold a classical meeting. Professor F. W. Shipley of Washington University and Professor Markham of Baker will give addresses. The conference will be for principals and superintendents of accredited schools of Kansas and Western Missouri. A.

This is the time of year when the senior engineers are beginning to sit up late worrying about their theses. The electrical engineers have all chosen their subjects and are now hard at work. Very few realize the amount of hard work that must be put on an engineering thesis. A practical subject must be chosen and worked out as an expert engineer works out his problems. MacKenzie and Heine are working on the Lawrence City Power Plant. Paul Shuey is doing research work on cylograph measurements of the human voice preparatory to writing a thesis on this subject. Frank Phillips and Robert K. Winning are working on the new power plant for the University. Their research work will be used when the new plant is constructed. Louis J. Bohn has chosen "A comparison of efficiency of arc and incandescent lights for street lighting" as his subject. Roy Sweezey has taken cures for storage battery troubles for his work, and Ned Bailey and Glen Bramwell have a difficult subject in "A designing series motor to operare satisfactorily on both direct and alternating current." The Quadrangle Club of the University of Missouri will play "Brown of Harvard" in Columbia April 5 and 6. This is the time of year when you fish out those light skirts and jackets.

Boarders wanted at the Goodnight Club 1218 Tennessee street. Good board for $2.50. The annual art exhibit or noted paintings given at the University of Kansas under the auspices of the Fine Arts department will commence April 2 and continue for three weeks. Miss Cora Parker and Mr. George Borse, well known artists of New York City, are making selections from the most famous examples of American art. The collection consists of 110 pictures that represent the highest type of art. Miss Parker, who is helping in the selection, was one of the first teachers in the Art School at K.U. The names of the artists represented in the exhibit cannot at present be announced, but they are among the foremost of American painters. The exhibit will be given in Kansas City two weeks before its arrival at the University. After its exhibition here, it will be taken to Lincoln, Nebraska and shown at the State University at that place. The exhibit will be placed on the second floor of the Museum and will be open every day and evening excepting Saturday evening. "The object of showing this collection," said Professor W. A. Griffith of the Fine Arts school, "is not to draw a large crowd from a distance but to give the students a better appreciation of the best American art. We are trying to develop a love for true art among the general class of students." In connection with the exhibit, a course of lectures pertaining to American art will be given. Season tickets are $1 and permit as many admissions as one desires. Single admission 25c. Those Who Wear Stripes. Of this year's football squad fourteen men received K's on sweater vests, which were awarded instead of the customary sweaters. The red service stripe is placed on the arm of the vests, designating the number of K's a man has received, a stripe being given for each year's service. The number of stripes upon the vests of this year's K men are as follows: Donald and Brunner, four each; Rouse and Milton, three each; Angney, Miller, White and Reed, two each; and Wallace, Cohn, Forter, Cowell, Pleasant, and Putnam, one each. --made to order.

Cards will be used no longer for keeping student records, but instead a loose ledger book system will be used. In this way the records will be bound in volumes and will be much easier to handle. Mr. Foster says he has also decided to take Mr. Coburn's advice and improve his correspondence. To do this two new typewriters have been installed, a No.8 Remington for keeping records, and a No.6 for letter writing. Baker Gets Scholarship. W. O. Ault, of Baker University has been awarded the Rhodes scholarship for Kansas. This entitles him to three years at Oxford with an income of $1500 per year and provides that he shall spend his summers traveling in Europe. An honor for any student. Some Good Advice.

He discussed in an interesting and pleasing manner the various and conflicting theories concerning the origin of the Etrurian race and stating the most prevalent theory that they were an Asiatic but non-Aryan people. "Little is known of that interesting nation of the dim past," said Professor Laing, "but it is certain that they were a civilized and organized people, though our knowledge comes only from scattered references in Latin literature and fragmentary remains of their art." By stereoptican views many peculiar and interesting customs of the ancient Etruscans were shown, concerning their tombs, burial of the dead, temples, sculpture, homes and vase work. Though Dr. Laing's lecture was not very well attended it was of a high artistic orde. At Chicago University a few days ago, the day of the Junior Prom, $5,321 was taken out of the University bank.

Chancellor Andrews of Nebraska, who last year forbade smoking on the campus, last week ordered the expulsion from the University of any student found chewing the vile weed. The Minnesota Daily tells the Legislature about it this way: "Oh, yes, we know—we know—the] University is still "out begging" and is asking a good deal. There are two sides to this tragedy. On one side is a Croesus with a treasure in one hand, dealing out wooden money with the other; on the other side are the beggars,which are the sons and daughters of Croesus himself." By a vote of 61 to 59 the co-eds at Minnesota decided not to prohibit men from entering Shively Hall, the women's dormitory. Perdue is being visited by an epidemic of mumps, while at Amherst College, the students were dismissed for a month on account of scarlet fever. Haven Hall, the girls' dormitory at Syracuse, is quarantined for scarlet fever. Over eighty girls are imprisoned. By a narrow margin the honor system was voted down at California University last week. A total of 1079 students voted, of which 758 were men and 321 women. Of these 351 men were in favor of the honor system, and 407 against. One hundred and seventy-one women voted in favor as opposed to 150 against. Chairman Daveler said that he considered such a defeat a great victory, as it points out that a real sentiment has been created for an honor system in the University. THE KANSAN. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 13, 1907. VOLUME III. NUMBER 46 READY FOR MEET --half than has yet been pulled off at Missouri. The low hurdles should be a great race. Both the Jayhawkers and Tigers are loping along at seven flat—which won the hurdles last year. Lapham and McCoy have the greatest speed in the fence races. Russell is nearing the eleven foot mark in the pole vault. Putnam is coming along nicely tossing the pebble in his KANSAS TRACK TEAM IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. As the indoor meet approaches, there is more and more hope in the Jayhawker camp. Monday night Parker made five-eight in the high jump. Driscoll and Babb are running the 50 in excellent form.

P. HAGERMAN, WHO WILL TALK IN CHAPEL TOMORROW. K CAPTAIN FRANK PARKER old form, and is conceded first by the Tigers. The only dark spot is in the mile. Cooley has a very bad ankle and cannot hope to do much better than five minutes. His unfortunate accident, coming as it does during the final training is hard to remedy. Worden will be in fine form by the time of the meet and his steady improvement is remarkable. In the two miles, Cummins will have to tussle with Jackson and Snyder or Jones. He will be kept fresh and his showing will greatly determine his ability as a two miler. The relay will be as exciting as ever with the "dope" all in favor of the Tigers. However, one thing is certain—this meet will be a real meet and the Tigers will have a run for their money. Monilaw had a crack team to start with and only a few vacancies—that of Anderson being practically all he had to fill. On the other hand, out of fifteen men, six are new to the Kansas team and two of them never saw a track suit until last fall. By giving Kansas second in the fifty, first in the quarter and half, second in the mile and two-mile runs, second in the hurdles, first second in the high jump, first in the pole vault and high jump, the meet would be won 43 to 37 before the relay. Giving the Tigers the relay would not give them the meet with these figures. It's up to the men to do their best for the above result and a first in the low hurdles by Lapham or McCoy would be greatly appreciated. Coach J. P. Hagerman, who has given Kansas his time all afternoon for three months without renumeration, will give his dope in chapel on Thursday morning. It is whispered that "Hagie" has something up his sleeve which he will disclose Thursday morning. At least, his "dope" will be worth hearing. Chamber Music Recital. A chamber music recital will be given in Fraser Hall tomorrow evening by the Wylie Quintet Club of Kansas City. Mr.Wylie, who was director of the violin department two years ago, has given several similar concerts here which were greatly enjoyed by the music loving public.

At a meeting of the Athletic Board of the University, Monday the rules and regulations as ratified by the council of the Big Four at Kansas City were accepted to the letter. This means that Kansas will be a member of the Big Four and that next year the athletics of the University will be under the new rules of eligibility. Then the Big Four, comprising Kansas, Iowa, Missouri and Washington Universities, will have one of the strongest interschool athletic associations in the West. --- The Masque Club will hold their first opera house rehearsal of the Crisis this evening.

Jackson finished only 10 seconds behind the Chicago miler. CONVENTION HALL, FRIDAY, MARCH 15 Excursion on the Santa Fe Railway will leave Lawrence at 2 p. m. Returning will leave Kansas City at 11:30 p.m. All students are urged to attend this track meet and cheer the Kansas team to victory. FOUR DEFEATS WON GAMES AT KIRKSVILLE AND WARRENSBURG. --- Play Good Games at Kansas City and Missouri.-Defeated Last Night. Crippled and bruised, the basket ball team returned today. They lost the second game to the Tigers, at Columbia last night by a score of 33 to 13. In the first half the Kansans were in the game and at the close of the half the score was 10 to 7 in Missouri's favor. In the second half Kansas never found the basket, and never even came near making a field throw. The only points made in the second half were made from the Tigers fouls. The individual score of the Kansans last night was: McCune, f., goals 0, free throws 0, fouls 1; Wohler, f., goals 0, free throws 0, fouls 0; Bergen, c., goals 3, free throws 0; fouls 4; M. Miller, g., 0, free throws, 0, fouls 5; Woodword, g., goals 0, free throws 6, fouls 0. Officials Ebright and Roberts. The night before the boys did much betrer, playing a game of 34 to 31. At the end of the regular game the score was 31 to 31. Missouri, however, succeeded in making the first three points when the ball was put in play and as a result won the game. Out of the six games played on this trip Kansas has lost four, winning only from Warrensburg the first game and from Kirksville. The worst defeat was at Independence, when the soldiers run up a score of 41 to K. U.'s 15. At Kansas City the Jayhawkers made a good showing against K.C.A.C. Mrs. Lewis in Chapel Friday. Mrs. Cora G. Lewis will lecture to the Sociology classes at 4:30 on Thursday, on the subject of "Communal Philanthropy." In chapel Friday morning Mrs. Lewis will lecture on the "Kansas Conscience." This will be the first chapel address by a woman this year. Mrs. Lewis is visitor for the State Association of Charities. During her stay in Lawrence she will be entertained at the home of Professor Blackmar. --- Professor Boodin spent Friday in Topeka, visiting the high school. Friday morning he addressed the high school students. His subject was "Certain axioms of modern thought." In the afternoon he attended a conference of the English teachers and in the evening he spoke to the high school teachers on the "Meaning of education." Professor S. J. Hunter was in Kansas City Monday on business. THE KANSAN The official paper of the University of Kansas.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13, 1907 A Kansas club, composed of K. U. students, has been formed at Ann Arbor. Only another indication of the widening influence of the University of Kansas. Chancellor Strong spoke at Wichita last Saturday on the K. U. of the future. It goes without saying that the Wichitaians saw something that taxed their imaginations. The most common subject among the track enthusiasts in the halls today is: Is Prof. X going to give Henry M. another examination, or has Charley raised that condition yet? The immense amount of work that Coach Hagerman is doing for the University without a cent of compensation should endear him to every one who has the welfare of the institution at heart. We can not have too many such enthusiastic and unselfish workers as Coach Hagerman. The manager and members of the mandolin club are to be congratulated on the excellent record it has made this year. They have lost nearly a score of good men through the eligibility rules, yet still have an organization that conforms with similar organizations of larger institutions. --- There should be some means of preventing the conflicts that occur on the dates of the different student functions such as athletic meets, debates, class parties, etc. If there was some system of registering the dates in the registrar's office much inconvenience and trouble might be averted. Was the basket-ball team playing against luck, or something worse. It would be more satisfactory to believe it was against luck, but it looks suspiciously as if in five of the game the boys were playing against better teams. We feel bad over the result but we should be comforted when we think how miserable the Warrensburg Normals must feel. On the whole we can't say the team did so bad. At Kansas City and at Missouri the boys played great games. Of course the U. S. army at Independence showed us up, but Uncle Sam has shown others up also. All K. U. has to say to the victorious teams is, "you can't do it again." J. P. Hagerman, the Y. M. C. A. secretary, but better known as the Jayhawker track coach, has finished his second month of service as coach. He has given Kansas University his services, refusing all remuneration. As a result the track team will go to Kansas City, Friday night, in training for the first time. The same enthusiasm that won at Nebraska will win at Kansas City. It was this enthusiasm that led Hagerman to accept the leadership of the track squad. He has done his best. Student support will do the rest. The lecture which was to have been delivered to the electrical engineers by Mr. W.K. Parker was postponed and will be given Thursday evening at 7:30. Mr.Parker's subject will be "The Choice of Types of Equipment in Power Plant Construction." Razor and strop guaranteed at Dick Bros. Price $1.00. Mrs. P. S.

The first annual banquet of the Kansas State Club was held at Oyster Bay last Friday evening with T. E. Rankin, instructor in English in the law department, as the guest of honor. About twenty members of the club were present, not quite the full quota of Kansans attending the University of Michigan, but what the men lacked in numbers they made up in enthusiasm for the Sunflower state. During the early part of the evening Fischer's orchestra furnished the usual delightful music of that organization. Then followed the course dinner served in good style. After the dinner was over the remainder of the evening was given to short speeches by the various members of the club. Isaac R. Rubin acted as toastmaster, and called upon the follow for responses: Frank Bates, "The Jayhawker State"; Harris B. Maris, "Kansas Sagebrush"; Clyde L. King, "William Allen White"; Philip R. Anderson, "The Shortgrass Country"; "The True Kansan," Rosboe F. Hunt; "Kansas Prosperity," Clyde W. Colby; cowboy recitation, "When the drama comes to Cactus Center," Charles W.

The Mandolin Club leaves tomorrow afternoon on its second trip to be gone nine days. They will take along with them twenty men, seven more than before. The following towns will be visited on the trip: Atchison, St. Joseph, Kansas City, Kansas, Mexico Missouri, Columbia, Sedalia Lexington, and Kansas City Missouri. The club will play its return engagement at Missouri on March 19. Charley Hoar, one of the best men, has left the University and his loss is keenly felt by the club. Otherwise the boys are in excellent condition for the trip. They have been practicing regularly under the direction of Heim Goldman, and will undoubtedly make a fine showing. The club has been deprived of a large number of men on account of the eligibility rules, but most of the places have been filled. Those who will go on trip are Cambern, Barteldes, Bull, Youman, Dannels, Mitchell, Groene, McGeorge, Eddy, Scott, Pearson, Richardson, Cambell, Engle Goldman and Martin. Barteldes Had the Goods. A large number of K. U. students attended the Automobile Show in Kansas City last week. They all stuck their heads under the machines, blew the horns and talked of valves and cylinders but only one was able to produce the goods. He was Otto Barteldes, who lives in Lawrence, and he bought the largest of the Stoddard-Dayton touring cars for $2,700. He will drive it up from Kansas City himself as soon as the roads are good. Some Good Advice. When your pants are baggy and your coat looks bum, send them to the K. U. Panti-tor-i-um.

Students Pay State for Education in Altruism Says Prof. McClung. In an address on "Practical Education" in chapel,Tuesday,Dr. E.C.McClung spoke of the return which the State justly expects of college bred students,in whom it has invested the capital of an education The underlying idea in all the speeches of the men who come to us from the outside world,he said,is that we are expected to pay our dividends in the form of altruistic service of the commonwealth. "We are expected to do those things that will make the lives of others pleasanter and most profitable, and so to conduct our own that we will leave the world better than we found it." In order to do this, said Dr. McClung, we must get a clearer conception of the part we play in the development of the race, we must make a more critical study of our history, physical mental and spiritual, coming by that study to a knowledge of our place in the great underlying plan of the universe. For the trained thinkers who will carry on these investigations, the world looks to it colleges and other institutions of higher learning. It reasonably expects that in in these places they may be found. How to Enforce Food Law. New Accredited High Schools. Professor Johnson spent last week visiting Ottawa University and the Garnet High school. Garnet has a senior class of twenty-four this year. It is one of the accredited schools. This week Professor Johnson will visit the schools in southwestern Kansas. The board of education at Liberal, Kansas, has called a meeting of the citizens to discuss plans for making their high scool a school of the first class. Professor Johnson will address the meeting. --- Are you going to the track meet looking like that? The K. U. Pantatorium wants to see you first. The State Board of Health has taken the preliminary steps to put the pure food law in operation. Three food inspectors and one drug inspector have been appointed. The appropriation for carrying on the work does not become available until after April 1. The time which remains before that date will be spent in instructing the newly appointed inspectors in the methods of carrying on the work. Inspectors will go over the various stores in towns and will send samples of the goods which are being sold to the University and the Agricultural College to be analyzed. If the food does not stand the test suit will be brought against the retailer unless he has a guarantee from the manufacturer stating that the food is pure, in which case the suit is to be brought againft the manufacturer. Dealers will be given until October to dispose of all goods on their shelves which are not up to the standard. The analysis of dairy products, meat products, cereals, flour and bakers products will be made at the Agricultural College. The analysis of all other goods will be made here under the supervision of Professor Bailey. Sophomore Prom Committees. The date of the Sophomore Prom will in all probability be changed from April 17 to sometime in May. This will give an opportunity of using the new gymnasium and will interfere less with the Junior Prom. President Skofstad has announced the following committees: Invitation committee: chairman, Clay Waters, Jessie Baldridge, Alberta Clark, Bob Rowlands, Ike Hausman, Jimmy Duberry.; refreshment committee: Lucy Wright, Claude Clay, Mildred McCurdy, Tom Veatch; decoration committee: Amorette Weaver, Harold Armsby, Zella Mitchell, Tom Johnson, Roy Walker.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 16, 1907. MEET WAS CLOSE NUMBER 47 MISSOURI WON BY SCORE OF $ 48\frac{1}{2} $ TO $ 36\frac{1}{2}. $ Jayhawkers Pushed Tigers Hard in Every Event—Relay Team Won Great Victory. By the close score of $ 48\frac{1}{2} $ points to $ 36\frac{1}{2} $ points, Missouri annexed the fourth annual indoor meet with Kansas in Convention Hall last evening. It was a great and glorious surprise to everybody. The Tigers were nearly swept off their feet by the unexpected strength of the Kansas team while the five hundred loyal Jayhawkers who journeyed to Kansas City to cheer on their representatives were more than satisfied with the showing they made. Things broke bad for Kansas at the start and at one time Missouri had a lead of more than twenty points, but the Jayhawkers were not discouraged and fought gamely to the end, winning the relay, the great event of the evening, by a wide margin. The rooters supported the team most loyally and cheered the defeated men equally as much as those who carried off the laurels. The Tigers secured a commanding lead at the first break from the barrier, Branhan and Douglas taking both first and second honors from Driscoll and Babb. In the 440-yard dash they repeated the performance, Driscoll being handicapped by a false start while Babb was saved for the relay. The half mile furnished the Tigers the first package from Coach Hagerman's surprise box. Running a splendid heady race Dick Priest surged to the front in the last lap and crossed the line several yards ahead of the surprised Tiger. As Parker, the Missouri entry, passed Priest on the fourth lap, he turned his head and said, "What's the matter Priest, can't you run?" He found out. In the mile, things started bad for Kansas. Worden set too hot a pace to keep up during the tearing grind of a mile, and after holding the lead for eight laps dropped behind. Then it was a battle royal between Cooley and Jackson. If the plucky Kansas miller had been in better condition there would probably have been another tale to tell, but as it was Jackson was pushed to the limit to hold the lead and finished first in the remarkably fast time of 4 minutes 38 seconds with Cooley hanging close on his heels. This was by far the best time made during the evening. Little Cummins ran the race of his life in the two mile. Lap after lap he stuck to Jackson who was trying in vain to shake Continued on page 4. MRS. LEWIS TO JOURNALISTS. "Light, More Light Is What Journalists Should Seek. Mrs. C. G. Lewis addressed the Journalism classes Friday morning. In her talk at random on "A Woman's Place in Journalism," she reviewed women's place in journalistic circles and left with the coming jouanalists many practical and helpful suggestions. "When you can put into every local story a bit of your own individuality," said Mrs. Lewis "add a little human interest, or obtain a new point of view, you will find the world waiting for your work. Have an eye for the beautiful, the simplicity of every day life." This is the first time that the budding newspaper students have listened to a lady speaker, and the direct and practical address was favorably received by all who heard it. The qualifications of a good journalist, according to the speaker, are, a broad, liberal knowledge of people and society, a sympathetic nature and a genial disposition. "Light, more light," she said, "is the thing for which a journalist should ever be striving." Freshman Debaters Chosen. The preliminary tryout to choose debaters to represent the freshman class in the Freshman-Sophomore debate was held Wednesday evening in Prof. Frazier's room. Rollin Perkins, Roy Dietrich and Lester Disney were chosen. There were six contestants for the places. Professors Sisson, Bryant and Becker acted as judges. The question for the debate between the two classes is: "Resolved, That it is for the best interests of the students in colleges of liberal education that the sexes be segregated." However, the debaters are thinking of changing to some other subject. The debate will be held April 30. Dean Skilton has forwarded $107.05 to the MacDowell fund. This represents the amount that was cleared on the second performance of the Pirates of Penzance. Next Wednesday and Thursday there will be an exhibition of Japanese prints in the museum building. Mr.Shima, a Japanese merchant, will be present and deliver an address The exhibition is given under the direction of Prof.Griffith of the Fine Arts school. Japanese Print Exhibition. MacDowell Fund Gets $107.05. --- Kansas-Oklahoma Debate Friday Evening March 22 DON'T FORGET THE DATE IMPROVECAMPUS EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN PLANNED. --- Shade Trees, Shrubs and Flowers to Decorate Grounds.—To Line Mt. Oread with Trees Line Mt. Oread with Trees. Mr. Crocker, superintendent of buildings and grounds has just completed specifications for extensive and permanent improvements of the University campus. Several hundred trees including a wide variety of all the hardy trees of Kansas, will be planted, most of them north of the library and the museum. It is planned to place several clumps of pine and cedar on the brow of the hill half way between the library and the Bible Chair house, to do away with the vacant appearance looking towards Louisiana street. At the foot of the embankment, which fringes the Museum on the north, more pine, cedar and catalpa trees will soften the rugged appearance, while farther north, across Oread avenue from the Bible Chair house, ash oak and hickory trees will be planted at the north entrance of the University grounds. The idea is to beautify the grounds, cover up the desolate spots, and at the same time obstruct in no way the excellent view of the country to the south and north. Of course it will take several years for the trees planted this spring to produce the desired effect, but a start towards this will be made. A large number of shrubs and flowers are also to be set out on the campus this spring. Music Festival May 9 and 10. --- Madame Schumann-Heink has cancelled her Western engagements and for that reason the plans for the spring music festival have been changed considerably. As the plans are now, on the first night there will be a joint recital by Anton Hekking, the great violincellist, and Charlotte Maconda, soloist last year for the Thomas orchestra. The second day, two concerts will be given by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, assisted in the afternoon by four singers, and in the evening by the festival chorus of one hundred voices. The orchestra will givean original overture by Dean Skilton. Professor Carl Preyer will play Liszt's E flat concerto with the orchestra, and Miss Helen Phipps will play Bruch's violin concerto in G minor. Two cantatas will be rendered: "The Swan and the Skylark" by Goring Thomas, and the "Stabat Mater" by Rossini. W. W. Parker, law '06, has butted into politics at Emporia. He is a candidate for police judge. WILL ENTER K. C. A. C. MEET. Kansas Will Send Team of Fifteen Men.—Four Mile Relay. In the K. C. A.

POLITICS NEED PRAYER. "Kansas Politics Need Divine Help."—Mrs. Lewis. "At this time the political department of the Kansas Conscience needs praying for," said Mrs. Lewis in chapel Friday. "Political strife, a sort of civilized savagery is hurting the state in its social conditions. There are too many black flag business men, too many men who silence the public conscience by public acts of benificence. No man should be silent on such things, and the University student is especially to be censured if he tolerates such a state of affairs, not to speak of joining the ranks of these deceivers of the public. Much of the nations noblest work is being done by young men. Let the K. U. student convey to his home district the highest hopes and methods for the future, make Kansas a better state, and start the national movement for better political and social practices and conditions."

Kansas-Oklahoma debate. Kansas has reason to rejoice over the result at Kansas City last night. Missouri celebrated a victory when they played K. U. a tie game of foot-ball Thanksgiving, and we can with more consistency rejoice now, for we have another shot at the Tigers this year. The outcome last night indicates that Kansas will easily win the outdoor meet later on. Last night we made eight more points than we have made for the last two years. The meet last night showed that Kansas has a track team that compares well with the Missourians, and needs only a little more training to make it superior to Monilaw's men. In the outdoor meet three more events are entered, all of which Kansas is practically sure of capturing. In the discus throw, the hammer throw, and the broad jump Kansas will get a first place. One of the things brought out last night was the amazing speed of Cummins. Although a new man he gave Jackson a run for his life. In the relay Babb, Haddock and Newbold showed that they are coming men. All four of the Kansas runners outclassed the Tigers. Although it is called a defeat Kansas won a decided victory at Kansas City. Watch what she does to the Tigers in the spring. What is the matter with the K. U. band? On trips like the one to Kansas City we should certainly have a band that can be taken along. Where does the fault lie? The athletic board cannot be expected to take a musical organization along that hasn't practiced for several months. The manager says he can't induce men to come out and practice. The men cannot be blamed much for refusing to devote their time to practicng on a brass horn for months in order to have their expenses paid on a dollar excursion somewhere. What we need is a faculty instructor and a University credit for band members. Then this institution of two thousand students can support a band. Now that the track meet is over let's whoo it up for the debate next Friday. Oklahoma is getting up all kinds of enthusiasm. It's up to Kansas to show the Sooners what enthusiasm means and Kansas has never yet fallen down. If we will give our two men the right kind of support we can win that debate. Fifteen students at Nebraska have been dismissed from school as delinquents. The editor of the Nebraskan lets out this pathetic wail: "Sad, cruel fate! Why will the cold and heartless world thrust its rugged flints, and hide its treacherous thorns in youth's harmless dreamy way? Oh life is a tragedy after all." Another two-by-four Kansas editor has taken a shot at the Journalism course in the University. Will these little dinkey editors who don't know the difference between a split infinitive and a box-car ever tire of knocking on education? According to Mrs. Lewis's description one would think the Kansas conscience was calloused in spots. The danger of getting into the "also ran" column keeps many a good man off the track. Not long ago the Standard Oil trust got down on its knees before a K. U. graduate; then The Good Clothes Store While many stores are thinking about the New ideas in Spring Suits and wondering whether they'll take—we're selling them. We're noted for having the best.

"Yesterday morning a student lost an overcoat and recovered it later at a pawn shop."—Daily Nebraskan. It is nothing unusual for K. U. students to recover their overcoats several times each year at pawn shops. Mrs. Lewis said in speaking to the Journalism classes yesterday, "By some, John D.

The Times in speaking of the ex-Kansan said: "Another Napoleon of Washington lawyers who is winning well deserved laurels in criminal law is Robert Wesley Wells, a Marylander, a mere youngster in point of age, but a "criminal lawyer" and politician of ability. Just now he is in the limelight as the attorney (associated with Mr. Hoover) of Mrs. Bradley, who has been indicted for shooting ex-Senator Brown of Utah in the Hotel Raleigh.

Wylie Quintet Club Gave Pleasing Performance. The concert by the Wylie Quintet Club of Kansas City, given in Fraser Hall on Thursday evening was enjoyed by an enthusiastic audience. The members of the club are Ralph Wylie, violin, who was head of the violin department here two years ago; Carolyn Wylie, violoncello; Clyde Whitlock, viola; Glenn Bevan, violin, and Emma De Arman, piano. The program was made up of string quartet and piano quintet numbers varied by a solo by Mr. Wylie and a caprice for three violins. The quartet plays with true artistic interpretation and every piece showed the wonderful assurance and sympathy that can be felt only by players who have studied and trained together for years. The concert was a great treat for musical people and especially for lovers of stringed instruments. After the concert the members of the club were given a reception in the classical museum by the teachers in the University Studio. --made to order. State Superintendent E. T.

Twenty-four times he circled the track never more than a few yards behind the Missouri wonder and finished with a spurt that gave Jackson all he could do to maintain the lead. The high hurdles went to Salisbury and Crouch of Missouri, but in the low hurdles Lapham won a close second. Here is where many of the spectators thought Kansas got the worst of it. The two, Crouch and Lapham, crossed the line almost together to the inch and it looked very much like a tie if the Kansan was not in the lead. Russel and Butler took both places in the pole vault at ten feet four inches. In the high jump, Parker carried off his usual first place while Young tied with Avery for a second place. Branhan gave Putnam more than he could handle in the shot put. The real surprise of the evening was the relay. After the Tigers had won the sprints it looked as if the Kansas chances of annexing the relay had gone glimmering but to the great delight of the Jayhawker rooters this proved to be not the case.

He said, "I was so confident of the relay that I ran my freshman team." One of the reporters replied, "Did you say fresh-man relay or freshmen relay?" Monilaw then passed the cigars around.

As Newbold, the dashing little Kansan, passed Branham in the whirlwind finish of the first race of the relay he turned to the exhausted Tiger sprinter and said,"Good-bye Branham."

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 20, 1907. BRIGHT PROSPECT MANY CANDIDATES ARE OUT FOR THE BASEBALL TEAM. Strong Pitching Staff with Hoffman, Kaufman, Hailan, and Holmes on Firing Line. The prospects for a pennant winning baseball team this spring are brighter than they have been for years. For the last month a large squad of candidates for the team have been practising faithfully every afternoon that the weather would permit. Nearly all of last year's team are back, together with a large number of new men, and there is such an abundance of good material that Captain Brookens will have difficulty in picking the team. The dope points toward an unusually strong pitching staff this spring. Hoffman, the mainstay of the team in the box last year, is out in a suit again and will probably pitch if necessary, although he wishes to play in the field. Besides Hoffman, other players of known ability and caliber who are out for the team are Dick Kaufmann, "Lefty" Holmes and Harlan. Kaufman pitched for Hutchinson last summer and is without doubt the best college twirler in the Missouri valley. Harlan and Holmes are both "slab artists" of unusual ability. Captain Brookens will be back at his old place behind the bat. Ben Young is out for first again and will probably make good. Other candidates for the initial sack are Carlson and Ruggles. Second base is open to everybody and there are half a dozen candidates who expect to make good. The fight for the keystone position promises to be unusually lively. "Art" Relihan who coached the Varsity last year will likely be eligible under the new rules. The central station is his home position. Spide Bailey looks good for short-stop again while Bobbie Noyes of Troy and "Sprouty" Porter of Kansas City will probably fight it out for third. For all the positions in the outgarden and most of the infield berths there are anywhere from three to six candidates and a thorough weeding out process will have to be gone through before the team can be picked. A practice game will be played with Leavenworth in about a week to try out the men. The team leaves on its annual southern trip April 4th. Kansas-Oklahoma Debate Friday Evening March 22 NEW FRATERNITY AT K. U. DON'T FORGET THE DATE Chapter of Pi Theta Sigma Installed in Pharmacy School. Last Friday evening a new Fraternity was established at K.U. when a chapter of Pi Theta Sigma, a national pharmaceutical fraternity was installed in the local school of pharmacy, by T.C. Davis, a member of the faculty of the University of Colorado. The ten charter members are: Karl Fry, Merill Diamond, Ray E. Walker, Wayne D. Townley, Louis Bixby, Thomas L. Bennett, Walter D. Kemp, Tully Martin, Clarence Holmes, and Edward A. Gaut. Karl Fry commenced working on the matter last November. The subject was kept a secret outside of the school of pharmacy until the chapter was installed. Pi Theta Sigma was founded at the Philadelphia School of Pharmacy in 1902. There are now five chapters. Only students in the school of pharmacy are eligible to membership. The fraternity is not honorary and members may join other fraternities. 4 MILES IN 20 MIN. 23 SEC. Relay Team Will Be in Great Shape Friday Night. Coach Hagerman is putting in every effort possible to present a team Friday evening that will win the four mile relay. In practice yesterday afternoon the four mile course was finished in twenty minutes and twenty-three seconds. Worden ran the first mile in five minutes and six seconds; Priest ran the second in five minutes and three seconds; Cummins the third in five minutes and nine seconds, and Cooley the fourth in five minutes and five seconds. The balcony track is much shorter than the Convention Hall circle and the boys will be able without doubt to run the distance in a little over nineteen minutes. GAVE TWO SACRED CONCERTS. NUMBER 48 Mandolin Club Can Play Either Sacred or Rag Time. The mandolin club at the first three places on its trip was listened to by large and enthusiastic audiences. The boys played at Atchison, St.Joe and Kansas City, Kansas, the last part of the week and gave two sacred concerts at Jefferson City Sunday. They will return Friday evening. To Elect Track Captain. All track enthusiasts in the college will meet in room 15, tomorrow at 12:15 to elect a track captain for the interschool meet next month. SOONER DEBATE KANSAS AND OKLAHOMA WILL ARGUE FRIDAY NIGHT. --- Cutler and Lomax Will Defend the Present Policy of U.S. on Chinese Question. The first inter-state debate of the year will be held in chapel Friday night between Kansas and Oklahoma. The question for discussion is: "Resolved, That the present policy of the United States in excluding Chinese should be maintained. The Kansas debaters are: Sullivan Lomax, and Russel E. Butler, both of the Law school. The men were chosen in one of the best preliminaries held this year and made excellent speeches. They have been working hard and have the subject well in hand. Kansas has the affirmative in the debate. Mr. Lomax, although this is his second year here, finishes the law school this spring. He is from the Ft. Scott Normal. He has had considerable experience in local debating at Ft. Scott and is versed in public speaking. Mr. Butler is a junior in the Law school. He was on the Baker team last year that defeated Washburn. ATTACKS MOORE STATEMENT. Dr. Snow Says Rainfall Has Increased in Kansas. Dr. F. H. Snow has issued a signed statement refuting many of the declarations contained in Willis L. Moore's recent pamphlet. Mr. Moore, the U. S. weather observer at Washington, reiterated his statements that the rainfall is the same as that of thirty years ago, and that the velocity of the wind has not decreased since the time blizzards and cyclones were in vogue in Kansas. Dr. Snow, whose observations extend over thirty-five years and are at variance with these statements, has taken exception to them. He has sent over two hundred signed statements to many of the leading newspapers and periodicals of the country, stating his observations and disproving those of the chief of the weather bureau. Dr. Snow is able to defend his statements as he has spent much time in their collection and his recording instruments are perfect. On an Eastern Trip. Dean Frank O. Marvin of the engineering school, went east Monday in the interest of the University. He will visit several large eastern cities and will be absent until after April 1. Walter Holmes and John McIntyre of the University of Missouri, were visitors at the Sig Alph house this week. GAVE LAND TO UNIVERSITY. Frank Lawrence, Nephew of Mrs. S. T. D. Robinson Dead. Mr. Frank B. Lawrence of Boston, who recently died at Philadelphia after returning from a visit in the South, was a nephew of Mrs. S.T.D. Robinson. Mrs. Robinson formerly owned fifty-one acres of land directly west of the University. As a token of her affection and esteem for her nephew, this land was deeded to him. It was suggested to Mr. Lawrence that the land was needed by the University, but not being a rich man, he did not feel able to donate it outright. However he gave the University ten acres immediately adjoining the old University tract near Fowler Shops and the Chemistry building, on the condition that the University would take the remaining forty-one acres and pay him the interest on $10,000 for the period of his life. The Regents of the University agreed that some suitable recognition should be made to his aunt, Mrs. S. T. D. Robinson; consequently, the new gymnasium which is located on the ten acres is called Robinson Hall. The two new engineering buildings which are provided for by the appropriation of the last legislature, will be built upon land acquired from Mr. Lawrence. Also the Central Administration building which will be built sometime in the future in accordance with the plans of Mr. Kessler and the Regents, will be located on the Lawrence land. A GOOD GOVERNMENT CLUB. Upper Classmen to Study Civic Organizations of the Country. A club known as the Good Government Club is at present being formed among a few upper classmen for the study of municipal and civic organizations in this country. Within the last few years such clubs have been organized in nearly all the larger universities of the country and they have now been banded into a National Intercollegiate League with headquarers in New York. The clubs have no partisan purpose of any sort, but represent the growing interest in civic problems among young men. It is the aim of the organization to take up the work in a purely informal way. Y. M. C. A. to Elect Officers. The Y. M. C. A. will hold their annual election at their regular meeting tomorrow evening. The officers as proposed by the nominating committee are: president, H. C. Herman; vice president, C. P. Donald; secretary, D. E. Worden; treasurer, B. S. Hill; and student membership advisory board chairman, Geo. H. Ahlborn.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20, 1907 UNIVERSITY CALENDAR. Friday, March 22: Hon. Manford Schoonover speaks in chapel. Kansas-Oklahoma debate. It would be a remarkable thing if one of the magazines you were looking for could be found in its shelf at the library. We confidently hope that Coach Monilaw has explained to his own satisfaction why his vaunted relay team failed to materialize Friday night. Heat as a general rule produces energy but a visit to an afternoon class the last few days would convince a person of the exact opposite effect. "Spring brings one consolation to the bona fide student," says the Michigan Daily. "The other kind can have their conversations outside the library reading room when the south wind fans the campus." Isn't it strange that conditions are quite similar about Mount Oread? Could the trees but repeat the sighings that they hear and the silent steps before the several buildings give up the secrets that they know the spring poet would have a field, rich in material from which to develop his thoughts. The mile relay to be contested in by Kansas and Missouri Friday night is the first long distance relay race that has ever been scheduled for Kansas City. The showing of the Kansas team yesterday afternoon was highly satisfactory to Coach Hagerman and if they are in the shape Friday night that the present time indicates Coach Monilaw is likely to have another job of explaining on his hands. Should the boys win the race in good time there is a possibility that they will go to Jamestown,or Pennsylvania,this spring to compete with the eastern mile relay teams. On Friday night of this week Kansas and Oklahoma will meet for the first time in a debating contest. We have a large number of debates this year and that our institution may not fall behind in this important line of development it is necessary that we begin the series of debates with a victory. In Mr. Butler and Mr. Lomax the University is represented by two men of experience in the art of argument and its presentation. What we want, next to the representatives themselves, is a large audience that will respond to every effort of our speakers. Enthusiasm will put our men in the right frame of mind to do their best so nothing short of a crowded hall will show the loyalty from the students that this debate merits. The baseball season will open next month at the University with the brightest prospects for a winning team that Kansas has ever had. Never before have we had such a pitching staff as that of Hoffman, Kaufman, Harlan and Holmes which will represent the University this spring. All of them are experienced and tried players and rank among the very best in the Missouri Valley. For all the other places on the team there are candidates galore, with enough veterans back to form the nucleus of the strongest fielding and batting aggregation that has ever played at the University. Captain Brookens has had years of experience on the diamond and commands the heartiest respect from all his men. Baseball prospects certainly are good at old K. U. this spring. The U. S. weather bureau official had better be careful what kind of reports he gives out in Kansas about weather conditions during the last thirty years. Dr. Snow has for the last thirty-five years kept accurate observations. For Rent. Large modern south east room. Ladies or gentlemen. 1321 N.H., Phone 6872, (Home.)

"The Life of General Fraser," upon which Miss Oliver spoke in chapel Tuesday morning, was a subject very interesting to the students. "General Fraser was a man of great native ability," said Miss Oliver, "and his ability was increased greatly by his own exertions from rigid self training. He was pleasant in manner, witty, genial and courteous. In the Civil war, before he became brigadier general he was called the 'courteous colonel.' And when a prisoner in Libby prison he cheered his comrades by lecturing to them on Shakespeare. "General Fraser had taught in the Bermudas and in Jefferson college and was president of Bellefount College before he came to Kansas as the first active Chancellor of the University in 1867. Through his persevering efforts the hall now called by his name was erected. He appealed to the people of Lawrence who responded with $100,-000 in bonds by which his dream of a building larger than North college was realized." Bring your shoes to us for repair. K. U.

The Masque Club is making preparations to put on the record show of its history and to this end they are practising almost nightly. It is the ambition of the club to make the "Crisis" a production which will be remembered for a long time to come. Every member of the cast has had several years of either amateur or professional experience and in addition are accustomed to work together so that it will take a much shorter time to put on the play than ordinarily is required. The fourth and fifth of April have been set as the dates of production and the rehearsals have been going so favorably that there seems to be no doubt that the play will be ready by that time. Miss Georgia Brown, the director, has been coming up from Kansas City once a week but will make more frequent visits from now on. She is very enthusiastic over the play and the exceptional talent shown by the different members of the cast. Revival Meeting. The First Christian Church of which C. L.

KANSAS FIRST LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 23, 1907. BEAT OKLAHOMA IN FIRST DEBATE LAST NIGHT. S. Lomax and R. E. Butler Defended Chinese Exclusion.— Judges Vote 2 to 1. The first debate of the year was won by Kansas last night from Oklahoma by a decision of the judges of two to one. The Kansas team composed of Russell E. Butler and Sullivan Lomax defended the Chinese Exclusion policy of the United States, while R. McKittrick and W. C. French of Oklahoma University had the negative. The speeches were all good, but at the close there was little doubt with the audience as to who the victors were. Mr. Butler opened for Kansas with a very clear statement of the question. In a forceful argument he showed the justice of the Exclusion policy and its immense economic benefits to the country. Mr. McKittrick in opening for the negative argued that it was possible to change our policy without admitting the undesirable class of Chinese. This was the substance of Oklahoma's argument throughout. Mr. Lomax, who spoke second for Kansas, dwelt at length upon the social harm that would come from a change of policy. He convinced all that the Chinese are an undesirable element and are not assimilable in our civilization. Mr. McKittrick closed the debate for Oklahoma and Mr. Butler closed for Kansas. Mr. Butler's closing argument was particularly strong and did much toward winning the debate. An audience of 350 people was present, and a great deal of enthusiasm was manifested. Admission 75 cents. Saturday, March 30th. The invitation committee of the sophomore class asks all who wish to attend the Sophomore on April 19 to make dates at once and report them to the committee.

Hall NEW REGENTS IN CHAPEL. J. W. Gleed and W. Y. Morgan Tell of Early Days. The Board of Regents were present in chapel Friday morning, and the two members recently appointed by the Governor, J. W. Gleed of Topeka, and W. Y. Morgan, editor of the Hutchinson News, talked for a few minutes to the students. Mr. Gleed told of the good old days at K. U. in the 70s, when the University was small and poor. He told of the labors of Dr. Snow in scientific work, by which he did much to broaden the old classical course. "But after all, much as the classics are neglected now, I believe that Greek did me more good than any other subject, in that it afforded the broadest possible outlook on all things intellectual." Mr. Morgan also told of his days at K.U. He spoke of how small the University was then, and how it had advanced in size and power. "I believe," said he, "that K.U. is destined to a glorious future. Why not? It is very evident that the pendulum of education is swinging westward, away from the old schools of the East. The middle West will be the educational center of the world. When that time comes why will not the University of Kansas, even now one of the foremost institutions of the section, take the lead?" REGENTS MET YESTERDAY. NUMBER 4 Elected Officers, Granted Degrees and Leaves of Absence. The new Board of Regents met yesterday and elected T. M. Potter, vice president and W.Y.Morgan, secretary. They granted leave of absence for one year to Margaret Lynn, H. H. Vaughn, L. E. Sisson and Wallace Notestein of the College faculty. The following degrees were granted: A. M., C. A. Shivley; A. B., Earl Gafford, Edith Griffin, R. W. Hoover, Lydia Lindsey, Harry Relihan and Madge Woodhead; B. S., Victor Cone, C. A. Whitney, A. R. Mann Claude Reid. Several proposed new courses in engineering were adopted, and some painting and grading was ordered done in College Park, Rosedale. KANSAS SECOND TRACK TEAM DID WELL IN HANDICAP MEET. Parker First in High Jump—Butler and Russell Both Places in Vault-Lost Relay. In the big K.C.A.C. handicap meet at Convention Hall last night the Kansas track team made an excellent showing winning second place to the Kansas City Club which had more than twice as many entries and defeating the Tiger team by three points. The final scores were: K. C. A. C.23, Kansas 18, Missouri 15, Nebraska 7, and unattached 7. The first points handed out to the Jayhawkers were the five won by Captain Parker in turing the first place in the high jump. Parker cleared the bar at his indoor record height of 5 feet 9 inches. With a 31-2 inch handicap he won at 6 feet and 1-2 inch. McElroy the scratch man jumped 6 feet. In the hurdles Lapham won his heat and took first in the semifinals but was nosed out by a bare six inches in the finals by Crouch of Missouri. The quarter mile race was an interesting event. With fifteen men in front of him all the way from 2 to 20 yards Driscoll dashed by them one by one and finished third but a few yards behind the winner. Newbold in the half mile ran a plucky race. Eight men were ahead of him from 2 to 30 yards but he passed them all by the middle of the last lap and was first man only a few feet from the tape when a Nebraskan dashed by. Russell and Butler worked in the pole vault like two veterans and as they repeatedly crossed the bar after all other competitor had dropped out they were received with bursts of applause. They tied in actual height at 10 feet 7 inches but Butler's handicap of 3 inches won him the first place and Russell took the second. In the 4 mile relay while Kansas was defeated Coach Hagerman was well satisfied with the work of his men. Missouri simply had a faster team. In the first race Jones took a lead of 15 yards on Worden. Priest and Cummins each lost enough to give Jackson in all 60 yards the start of Cooley. Cooley ran a magnificent race and when the tape was reached not more than 15 yards of the gap was left. Cooley's time in his race was caught at 4 minutes 30 seconds. WILL REMAIN AT K. U. Hagerman to be Y. M. C. A. Secretary Another Year. J. P. Hagerman, secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., has accepted the invitation of the Advisory board to continue his work here for another year. To do this involves the sacrifice of many personal and other interests that have been pressing upon his attention. But it is clear to all who are in touch with the Y. M. C. A. work that Hagerman is necessary to the movement now under way to get a building fund started. In reengaging Mr. Hagerman the Board asks for a full year of his time instead of the nine months of his present contract and will increase his pay in proportion. To meet these new financial responsibilities an active and energetic canvass among the students, faculty, alumni and town people is being made to insure adequate support for this year and the year ahead. Dr. Sanders of Yale Coming. --- Professor Frank K. Sanders, of Yale, will give a course of lectures at the University this spring. The lectures which will be given from April 19 to 23 inclusive, will be on "The Growth of the New Testament." Professor Sanders is one of the best authorities on the Bible in this country, having been for many years Dean of the Yale Divinity School. Professor Sanders gave a series of lectures here last year. Professor Boodin was instrumental in securing Dr. Sanders. THE CRISIS No Vacation this Spring. There will be no vacation next week as has been reported. Chancellor Strong said today: "No, we can't eat our cake and keep it too. We began school late with the intention that the spring vacation be left out, and it would be necessary to continue school a week later in June. I don't believe the students favor such a thing."

The winning of the Oklahoma debate last night opened the debating season for Kansas in an auspicious manner. It was a good debate. We debated against a good team and won. There are three more debates yet to come this spring. We have three good teams and there is no reason why we should not take all of them. Of course it will require the hardest kind of work on the part of the men composing the teams, but they must remember that work, and hard work, is an obligation they incur when they accept a position on a debate. The K. U. debater receives for his work no recognition from the University. The men who represented Kansas last night had worked hard for several weeks, harder than athletes because their work is not so interesting, yet they must be content with the plaudits of the crowd that heard them last night. Let Kansas University recognize her debates, and we will take front rank in debating as in many other things. Many universities bestow medals and letters upon their victorious debaters. At Michigan University the state legislature has invited the team that debates Minnesota to hold the debate before a joint session of the houses of the legislature, and as a result on April 9 in the senate chamber of the state the debaters will meet. Kansas has in the past given too little heed to her debates. Let her from now on take the interest in debating that she should. One of the things the University has been notably short on this year has been noted visitors. With one or two exceptions we have had no men of national repute either in chapel or as lecturers. It should be one of the priceless advantages of a college course to have the opportunity of seeing and hearing men who have done things. At many universities a students lecture course is maintained. Within the next few weeks W. J.Bryan, Booker T. Washington, O'Donnell Bennett, and Edward Channing will be at Michigan while Chicago will be visited by a large number of equally prominent men. A K. U. baseball enthusiast arrived early at the debate last night before there were many people in the chapel. "Great scott we haven't a big enough crowd to lick the umpire if we lose" he said as he looked at the crowd. The Daily Iowan headline writer got the following lines over a column of track dope. "In the spring the young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts, of track athletics—"Fat" Seydel expresses lyric emotion with sixteen pound shot." A big grafting scheme has been unearthed at the University of Cincinnati. A number of professors were running a book store skinning students out of several thousand dollars annually.

The visit of the board of regents yesterday reminded a homesick freshman of the time the school directors visited the little white school house in the country. A little more formal and dignified that was all. The crowd last night was better than it has been at most debates but it was by no means as large as it should be. My, but the baseball microbe does flourish this kind of weather. It wasn't hard to tell what the students had in mind when W. Y.Morgan mentioned a holiday yesterday. A collection of about three hundred Japanese prints was brought here for the benefit of the art classes and exhibited in the museum building on Wednesday and Thursday. These prints are the property of Sogo Matsumato, a New York merchant, and were collected by him in various parts of Japan. The owner's representative, Mr.Shima, lectured Thursday afternoon on the Japanese schools of wood-cut engraving. A part of the prints were sold after the exhibition. The prints constituted a very good representative collection of the work of the various schools of Japanese wood-cut engraving of which Mr.Shima talked, all of the schools being represented except the very earliest.

Annual Conference of Superintendents to be held April 19-20. TO MEET NEXT MONTH. The Fourth Annual Conference of superintendents and principals of accredited high schools will meet at the University of Kansas April 19-20. The science departments have the meeting in charge. Various branches of science taught in high schools will be discussed. The Sigma Xi will give a program Thursday evening at the opening session. Professor Mason B. Thomas, of Wabash College, Indiana, will speak. Professor Salisbury, of Chicago, will be the speaker for Friday evening. Science teachers of the state and University will talk at the various sessions. The Art Exhibit will be open at that time, giving the teachers an opportunity for pleasure. Sigma Xi Meeting. The March meeting of Kansas Iota Chapter of Sigma Xi was held Thursday in the Physics building lecture room. The paper of the evening was given by Prof. M. E. Rice on the subject, "Wireless Telegraphy; Its Principles and Recent Development." An initiation was held for the persons elected to membership at the February meeting. These spoke briefly as follows: Prof. Robert Kennedy Duncan, "The Interpretation of Science;" Miss Lalia V. Walling, "Cardiac and Respiratory Movements in Acrididae;" Mr. George P. Mackenzie, "The Lawrence Power Plant;" Mr. Frank U. G. Agrelius, "Slime Moulds—Plants or Animals?" Mr. Frank D. Phillips, "A Power Plant for Kansas University." The chapter will hold a banquet the latter part of April. Guy Drummond and wife were visiting friends the first of the week. Mr. Drummond is an employee of the Union Pacific at Omaha in the block signal department. Clara Carr, A. M.'06, visited her sisters at the Pi Phi house Sunday. Esperanto Class To Be Organized. Mr. Campbell, of the German department, lectured to the Verein Monday afternoon on Esperanto. He said, in brief: "Esperanto is the language simplified to the utmost so far as grammar and vocabulary go. It was created by a Russian, Dr. Zamenhof. His first work on the subject was made public about 1887. Since then the movement has grown until there are now something over five hundred Esperanto societies scattered all over the world. There are fifteen journals devoted entirely to Esperanto, two of which are in America. One is published in Oklahoma City. There are Esperanto clubs in America in a great many of the prominent universities of the East and middle West. One has been organized at the University of Missouri. It is probable that within the next few weeks a class in Esperanto will be opened in the University. It will meet once a week for a course of six or eight weeks and attendance will be entirely voluntary. The new Pharmic Frat Pi Theta Sigma had a group picture taken this week and of course it was made by Squires. Senior Play. A great mystery surrounds the senior play this spring. The committee has given out that the date will be May 23 and 24. Other than that they are as silent as can be and only smile mysteriously when questions are asked. The baseball team was photographed this week at Squires Studio. Notice. Any young man desiring to act as steward of a boarding club next year, call at the Kansan office.

The festival chorus, which is to take a prominent part in the spring music festival in assisting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, which is to give the concerts the second day, is now being organized. It is to consist, as it has hitherto, of about one hundred voices. Most of these will be from the University. The organizing and rehearsals have been put off later than formerly for the reason that most of the seniors are familiar with the "Stabat Mater" which is one of the two cantatas they will render. For that reason only the rehearsals will be given. But it is desired that all those intending to take part in the chorus make arrangements at once, as the time is not long. The festival comes May 19 and 20. The other cantata is "The Swan and the Skylock" and exceedingly interesting as well as beautiful. It is derived from the poems of Keats and Shelley. An Easter gift of a bottle of Raymond's perfume will please. The Summer Session. Every student knows men whose position he would like to fill when he is ready. How many of them spend three months of every summer in idleness or in work outside of their chosen professions? If you are ambitious, if you are not absolutely forced to earn money, if your health is good, can you spend the six weeks from June 6 to July 17 to better advantage than in the Summer Session? You will have two full months of vacation afterwards, from July 18 to September 18. A catalogue may be obtained at the Registrar's office.

Skeleton of a Man who Lived 20,000 Years Ago. On the third floor of the Museum building are the fossil remains of a human skeleton. To the casual observer they are not particularly interesting, for they resemble closely an ordinary human skeleton. But when it is considered that this "Lansing Man" lived in Kansas anywhere from 20,000 to 50,000 years ago, and had dogs and pets, the fossil remains of which were found in the same formation as the man, and specimens of which now may be seen in the Museum, the prehistoric skeleton becomes at once interesting and curious. What kind of a being was this that ranged the plains so long ago? Is he a relative of the fossil remains of the man found in Nebraska last autumn? These can only be matters of speculation, but it suffices to say that the two skeletons were found in the same geological formation, the Pleistocene, the same layer in which the buffalo with the arrow in his shoulder was found, and in which numerous skeletons of dogs, wolves and small animals have been discovered. The skeleton of the "Lansing Man" was discovered in March, 1902, on a farm near Lansing, Kansas. It had been resting all these centuries about twenty-five feet from the present surface of the ground. The bones of this remarkably old human being are much like those of the man of today somewhat shorter, with a small head. He was probably very inferior intellectually. The most noticeable difference between this prehistoric specimen and the modern man is the longer arms of the "Lansing Man" in proportion to the body. The bones are in a fair state of preservation, and are almost complete, excepting the skull which the University Museum was unable to obtain. Vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream, made from the fruit at Wiedemann's. You are sure to be pleased with photos from the Morris Studio and they cost no more than the other kind. Phones 312.

PLAYERS READY --- THE CRISIS PERFORMERS AND PARTS ANNOUNCED. Gus Koehler as Stephen Brice and Miss Parkman as Virginia Carvel, Have Principal Parts. The Masque Club is making remarkable progress in the rehearsals of the "Crisis" which will be put on at the Bowersock Opera House on April 4th and 5th. The members of the cast have been practising nightly for the last month, and under the careful supervision of Miss Georgia Brown, who comes up from Kansas City twice a week, they are now able to go through the entire play without a hitch. The time from now until the night of the appearance will be spent in working out the fine points and minute details. The manager of the play went to Kansas City this week and selected the costumes and special scenery that will be used. Some of the characters make several rapid changes during the course of the performance. The leading parts in the play will be taken by Gus Koehler as Stephen Brice and by Elizabeth Parkman as Virginia Carvel. The other members of the cast will be as follows: Clarence Colfax, Frank Ellis; Judge Whipple, Solon Smith; Eliphalet Hopper, Arthur Riddle; Colonel Carvel, Charles Kimball; Carl Richter, Willard Holmes; Jack Brinsmade, Clem Parker; Tom Catherwood, Frank Turner; Ephum, Job White; Eugenia Renault, Isabel Barton; Pus Russell, Edna Hopkins; Mrs. Brice, Vinnie Lewis; Ann Brinsmade, Lillian Abrahams. COOLEY CLUB ENTERTAINED. Gave a Reception to Oklahoma Debaters Friday Night. A very pleasant event of the visit of the Oklahoma debaters to Kansas University was the reception given to them by the Cooley Club in the classical museum after the debate last Friday evening. A large number of the members of the club were present and several invited guests. Refreshments consisting of punch and icecream and cake were served. Notice Sophomores and Seniors. The invitation committee of the Sophomore asks all sophomores and seniors to make their dates at once and report to the committee. The Sophomore will be informal. Committee: Clay Waters, James DeBerry Alberta Clark, Ike Hausman Jessie Baldridge, Robert Rowlands. The Seniors will give a party Friday night, March 29, at Pythian hall. Admission by ticket only. Get tickets from Martin, Alford, Bromwell, Forter, Jones. Senior Party. K. C. A. C. MEET WAS A TIE. Revised Score Gives University and K. C. A. C. Each 18 Points. According to the revised figures which have just been given out by Martin Delaney, of the Kansas City Athletic Club, the University of Kansas and the Athletic Club were tied for first place in the meet held last Friday, each having 18 points to their credit. The mistake in the scoring by which the Blue Diamonds were credited with having won the meet last Friday came in giving them six points which should have been given to unattached entries. This gave Kansas the meet by one point. Later it was found that Childs, who won third in the high jump, was an Athletic Club man instead of Y. M. C. A. entry, which made the score tie again. The question as to which team shall receive the banner, offered as a prize for the meet, will be decided this week by the Athletic Club. ITALIAN WRITESC. M. HARGER. Refers to "The Reflecior" as Most Importana Paper in U. S. The following letter translated by Professor Bassett was received by C. M. Harger, director of the newspaper course at the University. Municipality of Isnello, office of the mayor.—My dear professor: I learn with great pleasure from several Italian and foreign papers that you offer a high order of instruction in journalism in a special course at the University of Kansas and at the same time edit with great success "The Reflector" one of the most important papers of the United States. Dr. Chas. E. Bradt of Chicago, secretary of foreign missions of the Presbyterian church, will speak at the Easter Vesper service Sunday. "Such being the case, purely in the interests of the various Italian settlements in the state of New York, I take the liberty of offering you, disinterestedly, my little work on the history of the Sicilian communes around Isuello. Should my proposal be accepted, I beg you to send me the necessary authorization to the end that the usual and suitable editorial formalities may be observed. Very sincerely and respectfully yours, C. Verga." ELECT CAPTAIN BASKET BALL TEAM CHOOSE GEORGE McCUNE LEADER. Newly Elected Captain a Leavenworth Boy.—Team Was Banqueted by Manager Lansdon. At a meeting of the basket ball team at the home of Manager W. C. Lansdon last night George McCune was unanimously elected captain for the year 1907-'08. Those present at the election were M. Miller, W. Miller, Wohler, Hackett, Woodward, McCune and Bergen. Mr. McCune is a sophomore in the engineering school and comes from the Leavenworth High School. This is "Mac's" first year on the varsity and he has played his position at forward in almost every game this season. On the recent trip in the games at both Kirksville and the K. C. A.C. the newly elected captain was credited as the "star" player of the Kansas team. The basket ball boys were treated to a delightful dinner at the home of Manager Lansdon just before the election was held. BASE BALL GAME SATURDAY. Detroit or Hutchinson—Probable Lineup Given Out. NUMBER 50 The varsity will play a practice game Saturday afternoon on McCook field with either the Detroit team of the American Association which is practising at Leavenworth or with the Hutchinson league of the Western Association. The Kansas team will line up with possibly a few exceptions as follows: Captain Brookens, catcher; Young, first; Lefty Holmes, second; Noyes, third; Bailey, short and Bloss, Hoffman, and Carlson in the field. Kaufman and Harlan will pitch. Three Theses in Mechanical Class. In the mechanical engineering school theses are being prepared by the seniors to be handed in by May 25. Rex Thorpe has for his subject "The Heating Value of Oil Residue," William Neville, B. S. last year, is working on "The Use of Denatured Alcohol," and G. J. Hopkins is handling the subject of "The Influence of Changing the Time of Ignition in Gasoline Engine Economy." --- THE CRISIS A*L*L *S*T*A*R *C*A*S*T April 4 and 5 AT CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO. Professors Johnson and Walker Representing Kansas. Professor Johnson and Walker left Tuesday night for Chicago to attend the meeting of the north central association of secondary schools and colleges, which will be held there from Wednesday till Saturday of this week. The object of this meeting is to bring about a closer relationship between the schools belonging to the association. There are in all about 150schools represented, covering practically all of the Mississippi valley. One of the most interesting things about the association is the fact that graduates of high schools which are placed upon its accredited list, may enter by certificate any of the state universities or colleges belonging to the association. Professor Johnson is to lay before the meeting applications for a place on the accredited list from about fifteen Kansas high schools. TO HOLD OPEN MEETING. Ira Hedrick to Address Civil Engineers Tomorrow Evening. Mr. Ira G. Hedrick, consulting engineer of Kansas City Missouri, will address the C. E. Society Thursday evening in Snow Hall. Mr. Hedrick is the leading consulting engineer in the West and was a partner with Waddell for a number of years. The Society is very fortunate in securing a man of his ability and every engineer who does not hear him will miss an opportunity of acquiring some valuable information, coming direct from a man who is and has been an employer for a large number of college men. A Communication. To The Kansan: In my communication of the other day, regarding Frank B. Lawrence, it was not my intention to convey the idea that Robinson Hall was named expressly after Mrs. Sarah T. D. Robinson. Some seem to have taken it that way. The Gymnasium is to be called Robinson Hall in honor of the late Governor Charles Robinson and his widow, Mrs. Sara T. D. Robinson. F. W. BLACKMAR. Phi Psi Delegate to Frisco. Louis H. Moore left last night on a three weeks' trip to San Francisco to attend a meeting of the Council of the Fifth District of Phi Kappa Psi. He is the delegate of the Kansas Alpha chapter. After visiting at San Francisco, Los Angeles and Grand Canyon he will return to Lawrence. The Kappas have pledged Anna McCoy of Hiawatha.

Sunday, March 31: Easter Vesper Service. It has been suggested that the air line proposed to extend from Kansas City to Lawrence and Topeka will remain an "air" line for a good many years. It is reported that the Cooley club at K. U. is to give the Oklahoma team an informal banquet tonight—quite a take off when the Sooners are pleading for a change in the treatment of the "coolies."-The Umpire, University of Oklahoma. The latest report from the Kansas City Athletic Club meet is that Kansas and the Blue Diamond team are tied for first honors at 18 points each. The first report was 23 to 18 in favor of the Kansas City team and then on the following morning Director Delaney admitted that 5 points credited to his team belonged to the unattached count. Later it was found that the third place in the pole vault should be taken from the K. C. A. C. leaving Kansas winner. But this would never do so Childs who won third in the high jump was found to belong to the Athletic Club and now the score is again tied. It seems strange that Delaney did not know who was and who was not on his team the night of the meet. It would have been just as reasonable for Manager Lansdon to have gotten mixed up on his team. Probably this evening's paper will announce the Athletic Club as the winners or even Missouri may get the first honors before this week is over. The Kansas University Mandolin Orchestra gave to the music lovers a rare and peculiar treat in their concert Tuesday night. The club was here under the auspices of the Glee Club, and was well attended. Many, doubtlessly, remember the Club's visit here last year, and recall the fact that they had been pleased and amused by the "College Kids," before the year's visit. The "College Kids" Charley Hoar and Johnny Bull, were naturally the most popular, as they had the most popular and catchy music. "Forgotten," a flute solo by William McGeorge, accompanied by the Club, was probably the musical treat of the evening's entertainment. In the selections the work of Director Goldman showed itself to advantage and portrayed Mr. Goldman a director of much ability.-Independent. The surprising thing about Mr. Kayser's admission to the bar is that while here the only law studies he took were contracts, jurisprudence, elementary law and constitutional law, and still his quiz was conducted by some of the most able lawyers of Oklahoma. Cares For Homeless Boys. Horace E. Steele, a former Lawrence and K. U. boy has recently been placed in charge of a home for friendless boys at 188 Gault court, Chicago. The home is in the center of a notorious district known as "Little Hell." Mr. Steele was secretary of the old city Y. M. C.A. at Lawrence, and was engaged in State Y. M. C. A. work before going to Chicago. The home is open to any kind of a boy that wishes a place of shelter. Professor Boodin to Speak. Professor Boodin will leave Thursday to attend the joint meeting of the Western Philosophical Association and the North Central Psychological Association to be held in Chicago from March 28 to 30. Professor Boodin will read a paper on "The Dimensions of Reality."

Kayser, Editor of Chickasha Journal, Admitted to Bar. From Chickasha Review. J. W. Kayser, the brilliant young journalist, who edits the Chickasha Journal, was admitted to practice as a lawyer before the district court yesterday afternoon. Heretofore, Mr. Kayser has been known in Chickasha only as a versatile and accomplished newspaper man of marked literary talents, and it was not until he was arraigned before the examining committee of trained lawyers, that it developed that he had thoroughly prepared himself for the legal profession before embarking in journalism. Mr. Kayser is a graduate of the University of Kansas, where he completed the college course with high honors. For two hours the examining committee poured abstruse questions into the applicant and they were astonished by the legal lore that he showed in his replies. When the examination was concluded it was the unanimous verdict that no applicant in this court had ever come out of the ordeal with more honors. MANDOLIN CLUB BACK AGAIN. Notice. Any young man desiring to act as steward of a boarding club next year, call at the Kansas office. A sophomore or junior is preferable. President I. C. McNeill of the Superior Wisconsin State Normal School, has just been elected superintendent of the city schools of Memphis, Tennessee. Mr. McNeill was a student in the University of Kansas during the early 80's. Never too late to get in on a good deal. We've got one for you. K.U. Pantatorium. Greeted with Enthusiasm at Each Concert=Sacred Concert Made Hit. The Mandolin Club returned Saturday from a concert tour through Atchison, the two Kansas Citys, St. Joseph, Jefferson City, Mexico City, Columbia and Sedalia. Lexington, Missouri, was on the schedule, but as no hotel accommodations could be secured the date was cancelled. The boys were courteously received at all the places and every number of every concert received an encore. Several K. U. graduates were met on the trip. At St. Joseph. Mr. Spencer of the class of '99 who is now the city chemist of that place, entertained the club most royally. Mr. Fulton,'94 also showed the boys a good time at Sedalia. At Jefferson City a sacred concert was given Sunday night. The clergy of the town were radically opposed to the performance, but after it was given one of the prominent ministers came forward and moved that the city give the boys a vote of thanks, and also begged their pardon for the criticism of the previous week. The club played at chapel exercises while in Columbia. As the boys entered the hall the entire student body greeted them with the Rock Chalk yell. At St. Joseph the high school boys tried to out yell the K. U. boys. It was a case of eighteen against 150, but the old Rock Chalk soon put a quietus on the youngsters. The program at Kansas City, Mo., was given the same night the track meet was held, but a large crowd was present notwithstanding. While there the boys received complimentary tickets to the college play "At Yale" given at the Willis Wood theatre. The press of the various cities made very favorable comments on the concerts. The Morning Intelligence of Mexico, Mo., said in part: "The Kansas University Mandolin Club gave a highly creditable entertainment in this city Monday night. Their actions while in Mexico were beyond reproach. Our community has a great amount of admiration for a well-organized and gentlemanly band of students." The boys are enthusiastic in their praise of the receptions they received. Mexico, Missouri, seems to be a favorite place for concerts on account of the admiration the fair sex manifest for music of a good quality. Eighteen boys made the trip in a private car. Dramatic Criticism. Prof. Edgar G. Frazier talked to the newspaper classes on "Dramatic Criticism" yesterday morning. His talk was largely for the benefit of those intending to make dramatic criticism their work and was extremely interesting. Don't put it off. Have Squires make your photo.

The College Jeweler WHEN BOOKS WERE SCARCE. Miss Carrie M. Watson, the University librarian, gave some interesting reminiscences about the early library of the school in a chapel talk Tuesday morning. The beginning of a library was very meagre indeed. At first only a few books were placed on shelves in the room that is now the Chancellor's office. As the school grew the library was moved to Room 14 and then to the north end of Fraser Hall, where it remained till the books filled the room and finally overflowed into the hall. The Summer Session. It was at this critical moment that William B. Spooner gave 75,000 for a new Library building. In 1894 the books were transferred to this place. "The library of the future," said Miss Watson, "will boast of its hundreds of thousands of volumes, and will occupy several buildings containing spacious departmental reading rooms." Vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream, made from the fruit at Wiedemann's. Every student knows men whose position he would like to fill when he is ready. How many of them spend three months of every summer in idleness or in work outside of their chosen professions? If you are ambitious, if you are not absolutely forced to earn money, if your health is good, can you spend the six weeks from June 6 to July 17 to better advantage than in the Summer Session? You will have two full months of vacation afterwards, from July 18 to September 18. A catalogue may be obtained at the Registrar's office. Bring your shoes to us for repair. K.U.Pantatorium.

HUTCHINSON WON VARSITY LOOSES FIRST GAME TO LEAGUERS 6 TO 1. Harlan in Box Made Good and Noyes at Third Played Well. Game Played in Rain. Notwithstanding a chilly rain from the north about three hundred hungry baseball fans witnessed the first game of the season upon McCook field this afternoon at which the Hutchinson Leaguers walked off with the game to the tune of 6 to 1. The game was void of any sensational plays where the grand stand roof is raised with bursts of enthusiasm, but on the other hand repeated juggling with the slippery ball made it manifest that the weather was not fit for the real game. Harlan showed himself to be of the right fibre for a box artist. In the innings played there was not a man earned a run. He issued five bench passes to the leaguers who couldn't find the ball. Noyes made good at third and repeatedly used his head in allowing a doubtful ball cross the foul line before touching it. He also spanked a nice two sacker over the right fielder. Hoffman made the score for Kansas from a single in the first inning. Carlos Johnson, last year's base ball captain for Kansas, played an errorless game at first for Hutchinson, and secured one safe drive. as follows: Kansas Hutchinson Brookins C Noyes, Lewis Young 1 b Johnson Holmes 2 b Casey Noyes, Angney 3 b Seikmeyer Bailey ss Wood Hoffman lf Croughn Bloss cf Pettigrew Carlson rf Noyes, Lewis Harlan } p { Hassler Kaufmann } Dunham Score by innings: R.

The journalism classes received the address of John McDonald on Friday with much enthusiasm. In his characteristic manner the Topeka editor amused and instructed the coming newspaper men for an hour. He told of the adverse criticism of the state press when the Journalism classes were organized in the University of Kansas, and said that the practical side of the course is beginning to be fully recognized all over the state. Many valuable hints were dropped during the address and the budding journalists enjoyed a laugh that they will not soon forget. JOHN MacDONALD AT CHAPEL. A Characteristic Speech--No Prima Donna in Reply to Encore. John MacDonald, editor of the Western School Journal, was the special attraction in chapel yesterday morning and made a characteristic speech. He recounted the fact that he first visited Kansas thirty-seven years ago and at that time came to the University and met Professor Snow. "And," said Mr. MacDonald, "we'll both be here thirty-seven years from now, talking over the history of the last seventy-four years." At the close of his speech Mr. MacDonald received a hearty encore, at which he rose and said, "I am not a Prima Donna." FUNERAL SERVICES TUESDAY. Remains of Professor Williams Brought to Lawrence. The funeral services of Professor P. J. Williams will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 at the Baptist church in Lawrence. A number of the members of the faculty will attend. Professor Williams was a professor in the University from 1881 to 1888. That was before the establishment of the State Normal and he had work in that department. Since leaving here Professor Williams has been in Massachusetts. University Vesper Service. The Vesper service at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon will be of special interest. Dr. Charles Bradt of Chicago, secretary of Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, will deliver the address. The following musical program will be given: Organ Prelude, Intermezzo, Rheinberger; Lord's Prayer, Merbecke, arranged by Stainer; Venite, Woodward; Anthem, Hosannah, Grainer; Hymn, No. 104, Lancashire, Smart; Quartet, Christ our Passover, Buck; Nunc Dimittis, Gregorian; Postlude, violin with organ, Adagio, Tartini. T. N. E. Party. The Theta Nu Epsilon fraternity gave their annual spring party in Fraternal Aid Hall last evening. Only members of the fraternity and their girl friends were present and the evening was spent in dancing. An elaborate supper was served duringthe intermission. Several alumni from out of town were present. OPENS MONDAY EXHIBIT BEING ARRANGED TODAY IN MUSEUM. Works by Miss Parker and Mrs. Canfield, formerly of Kansas. Lectures Each Evening. The paintings for the Annual Art Exhibit to be held here for the next three weeks by the Kansas Art Association have arrived from Kansas City. They were hung in the second story of the Natural History Museum today under the supervision of Professor Griffith. There are one hundred and one of the paintings. These works of art have been collected throughout the winter by Professor Griffith and Miss Cora Parker, who was once art director here. Miss Parker is the painter of "The Blue Waters of Glouchester," one of the best pictures in the collection. Another former resident of Lawrence, Mrs. Canfield, wife of Professor James H. Canfield, once professor of economics here, is represented by two paintings. The exhibit opens Monday morning at nine o'clock and the paintings will be shown every day until five o'clock. Every evening except Monday and Tuesday a lecture will be given in connection with the exhibit. All sources of information, as reference books, will be at hand for the use of visitors, and the exhibit promises to be of much value to all interested in art. At the close of the exhibit here the pictures will be taken to Lincoln, Nebraska, under the auspices of the University of Nebraska. MADE IMPORTANT DISCOVERY. Ex-Kansas Graduate Found Method of Sewage Purification. Mr. F. B. Porter, K. U.'03 who is now chemist for the Swift Packing Company, has succeeded in devising a method for the purification of the sewage from the Swift and Armour packing plants at Ft. Worth, Texas. The experiments which Mr. Porter has been carrying on were made at an expense of $40,000. They have effectually proved that the waste from large packing plants can be so purified as to be no longer a menace to public health. THE CRISIS A*L*L *S*T*A*R *C*A*S*T April 4 and 5 POWER PLANT INADEQUATE. The New Gymnasium Will Over Tax its Capacity. "Long prefoire the new power plant is ready for use the University will be face to face with a grave problem of securing sufficient light," said Prof. P. F. Walker of the mechanical engineering department. "Even now the plant is being run at its fullest capacity to supply the needs of the University and when the Robinson Gymnasium with the five hundred incandescent and six arc lights for its lighting is completed, it will be a serious question whether the already over-taxed system can fill the demand. The plant is not only small but is equipped with antiquated and inferior machinery. In the power house the boilers are old style and hand fed; in the shops the engines should be replaced by upto-date turbines. The generators are all of an old model. The only way to keep the University in light until the new plant is installed next year is to limit the supply of power of many industries throughout the University. Thus the liquid air plant will have to be shut down much more than now, and the same with other things. It is very doubtful whether even this method will suffice. WILL ATTEND ROYAL BALL. Prof. H. H. Vaughan Invited to King Emmanuel's Ball at Rome. Professor H. H. Vaughan, assistant professor of French, Italian and Spanish, who obtained a leave of absence at the last meeting of the Board of Regents, will spend the year in Italy and the romance countries studying dialects and making observations preparatory to writing a book on "Effect of the Moors on the Spanish Language." He has received an invitation from King Emmanuel II of Italy to a royal ball to be held in Rome next summer. This invitation was obtained through his personal acquaintance with one of the officers of the Royal Guard whom he met while studying in Italy some time ago. Talked at Y. W. C. A. Meeting. Miss Strong, city secretary for the Y. W. C. A. in Kansas City, Missouri, addressed the Y.W.C.A.last Wednesday on "The Ideal City Association and Home." She spoke of the need of more workers and equipment to carry on the city association work and the necessity of having college women for this work. The special music was a vocal solo by Miss Hoisington. Junior Class Meeting. The junior class will meet Monday noon to discuss important matters about the Prom.

An Oklahoma advertiser very happily suggests that the comet may or may not strike us but in either case you will need a spring suit. From the fire in the eye of our Scotch friend MacDonald yesterday, Dr. Strong was fortunate, indeed, to have business at Kansas City. This is the time of the year when the Rhetoric professor reads a column base ball story and wonders why all this instruction in the careful use of English if it must come to this. Italian notables certainly are recognizing the fact that Kansas University has some great personages connected with it. C. M. Harger received a great compliment from a son of Italy and now Professor Vaughan has been invited to attend a ball at Immanuel II.'s court at Rome this summer. All friends and students of the University should make it a point to see that any discoveries of fossil prehistoric animals coming under their observation become the property of the University Museum. There are numerous unconstructed specimens now being held by parties in the state for large sums of money: the University is unable to pay fancy prices. Loyal residents of the state should be glad to donate such valuable historic specimens to the State University Museum where a collection is now being made scarcely equalled in the United States. While it may seem a trivial and insignificant thing for a class to vote numerals to members of its various athletic teams yet it is these little things all taken together that makes a person feel that his efforts are not entirely without appreciation. There are some classes in the University that have never yet failed to present their teams with the class numerals, and there is one class that seems to hardly realize that it ever had a team that fought on the basket ball court or played upon the base ball diamond. Classes should show their spirit and be loyal to their teams. No carriages were employed by the students at Stanford on the night of the Junior Prom, it having been decided by a joint agreement between the women's conference and the prom committee that all couples should walk. Professor H. H. Vaughan, of the French department, attended the meeting of the Michigan Schoolmasters' Club at Ann Arbor, Michigan this week, where he read a paper upon a new method of teaching the French irregular verbs. Professor Vaughan's home is in Ann Arbor. William Gilmore, of the Engineering class of '01, visited on the hill Monday and Tuesday of this week. Mr. Gilmore is now employed in the testing department of the Santa Fe, with headquarters at St. Louis. COMMERCE OF SAMUEL MUNHEIM CO. You can buy some kind of a Hat most anywhere.

PAPER by the Pound at BOUGHTON'S 1025 Massachusetts St. CHOSE THE OLD NAME. The Dramatic Club Was Known As Masque Years Ago. At one of Miss Georgia Brown's recent visits to direct the rehearsals of the "Crisis" a curious coincidence was discovered. It seems that several years ago when Miss Brown had charge of dramatic events in Lawrence, and her daughter, Evélyn, was the leading lady in all the plays given, the dramatic club existing at that time was reorganized under the name of the "Masque." This organization died when Miss Brown and her daughter left, the one to take charge of the Auditorium School of Dramatics in Kansas City, and the other to enter the acting profession in which she has become so famous. When last year the University Dramatic Club were casting about for a more appropriate name, it was without any knowledge of this predecessor that the Masque name and badge were adopted. Entertained by Professor Hill. Professor and Mrs. Hill entertained a few members of the faculty at a six o'clock dinner Monday evening in honor of Professor and Mrs. Main.

A specimen of prehistoric animal life that ranks as one of the best in the Kansas Museum has just been added to our collection. H.T. Martin, Paleontology Curator, has just completed the laborous task of reconstructing the fossil remains of a mammoth fish. This specimen was discovered by Dr. McClung in Gove county, Kansas, and was the largest known fish inhabitating the great inland sea of the Aetaceous Age, five to eight million years ago. It was thirteen feet six inches long, two feet nine inches wide, had a head that measured two feet nine inches by two feet four inches, and whose sharp canine teeth were three inches in length. Its weight is estimated at 1500 pounds. It is one of the two reconstructed specimens known to exist in the world, the other being in the National Museum at Washington. It is worth $1000. WANT A "JIM CROW" ANNUAL. Laws Refuse to Mix Pictures With Common Students. The Laws at the University of Nebraska are causing a great disturbance because they are not given a place in the Annual separate from the remainder of the University. It is not the policy to divide the University annual into divisions for each school, but the Laws insist that this time honored rule be broken and that they have space separate from the common University rabble. ENFORCING PURE FOOD LAW. The Laws seem however to have gone too far. The faculty, the editorial staff, all the University publications and the students are making things interesting for the Laws. Announcement. Mr. C. E. Franz, of the Pittsburg Reduction Company, engaging men for summer work, will be here soon. Heretofore the company has been represented largely by men of eastern universities. But this year owing to the great demand for aluminum ware the capacity of the factory has been increased thus giving K. U. an opportunity to be represented. If you are interested, see Cecil Smith, 1317 Ky. St., or Wm. Osborne, 1446 Ky. St. The University Assisting in Work of Inspection. The work of food inspection under the new state pure food law is carried on here and at the Agricultural College, but most of it here. Prof. J. T. Willard at the Agricultural College has charge of the veterinary division of inspection, and Professors Sayre and Bailey of the drug and chemistry divisions. To carry on this work of inspection there will have to be additions to the faculty of the Pharmacy and Chemistry departments. Advertisers Getting Busy. During the past week Superintendent Ward of Fowler Shops has received 182 sealed circular letters and several hundred catalogues from tool and machine companies all over the United States. A small item in the American Machinist of recent date to the effect that Kansas University was to have soon a splendid new engineering building, served as an incentive for the various companies to begin advertising themselves. K. U. Man in Porto Rico. Professor Bailey has received a letter from Edward F. Nelson who is chemist in charge of the chemical work on a large sugar plantation at Central San Cristobal, Naguabo, Porto Rico Mr. Nelson was a graduate student in chemistry at the University in 1905-6. He expects to remain in Porto Rico until the grinding season closes in June. Meeting of Board of Health. Professors Bailey and Sayre have been in Topeka for the past few days in attendance at the meeting of the inspectors of the State Board of Health. At this meeting the inspectors were instructed as regards the collecting of samples. These samples will be analyzed, part of them in the pure food laboratory at the University. French Play Next Month. The annual play given by the French department will be the three-act comedy entitled, "Les Petits Oiseaux." The parts have all been assigned and rehearsals are being held weekly and things are progressing so nicely that the department is confident that it may be staged about the last week in April.
