7cm. 12-24=1m THE KANSAN. 9L111 UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS VOLUME IV. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SEPTEMBER 16, 1907. ON THE GRIDIRON COACH KENNEDY WILL BEGIN WORK WEDNESDAY. Rouse, Milton, Pleasant, Reed, Miller, Cohn, Crowell Angney, Forter, Rice to be Back. Ten wearers of the coveted "K" and as likely a bunch of last years tyros and scrubs as a Jayhawker coach ever had, will make up the squad out of which Coach Bert Kennedy is to build the gridiron machine which is again going to humble the Cornhuskers, secure sweet revenge from Coachems vaunted St. Louis lads, defeat—(NX) The pipe went out. According to the "Big Four" Conference rules which are to govern all athletics at Kansas this year official practice can not begin until the opening of the university on Wednesday. Already the squad are holding daily siestas on McCook getting ready for the strenuous times that are yet to come but no they are not practicing. Practice shall not begin until Wednesday. Captain Rouse is expected in every day to start things moving, while Kennedy and Parry, the new assistant coach from Chicago, are more than ready to start work in order to have the team well in hand by the time the first contest the fifth of October rolls round. Rouse has been working hard all summer and will be in shape to play the game of his life this fall. Every loyal Jayhawker fan already knows the doughty captain's pedigree but for the benefit of those who are new among us, here is his record. He hails from the land of star football players, Beloit, the home of three K. U. captains, Brummage, Hicks and Pooler. For three years he has played a star game at end and won the captaincy on his steady consistent work. The other nine wearers of the "K" who are back for their positions again are Milton, for three years center on the squad the lightest man that ever held that position on a Kansas team, Reed, surnamed "Tub" a 230 pound giant from Kansas City, Cohn, a 180 pound Fort Scott lad, Pat Crowell, the fighting Irishman, who is doped to be one of the stars this fall, Angney, the quarterback and baseball star and the surprise of last seasons team, Billy Miller, the speedy little halfback of forward pass fame, Forter, the star punter, Rice a star of three years ago who is sure to land the fullback berth this fall and Carl Pleasant a good consistent end. Coulter who played a good game at quarterback until he broke his shoulder is also a [Continued on page 4.] NUMBER FACULTY CHANGES FOR YEAR. Several New Departments Created -Temporary Appointments. Many changes have been made in the personnel of the faculty for this year. Some instructors are away on leave of absence, while others have accepted positions in other schools. Norman Duncan, brother of Professor Robert Kennedy Duncan of the Chemistry department, will lecture in the English department. Raymond A. Schwegler, formerly acting president of Ottawa University, is associate professor in Education. Frank G. Bates is assistant professor of American History. Adolph Zeifle will take Professor Havenhill's REGISTRATION NOW LARGE. Looks Like 2000-$2.00 Fee Fairly Well Supported. Although the registration for this year has but barely begun, the enrollment when finished promises to go beyond the 2,000 mark. The enrollment today is more than 300 greater than on the same day last year, but as the University has opened a week later this year it is impossible to closely estimate the increase. Only about 50 per cent. of those enrolled have paid the voluntary fee of $2.00 for the support of the various organizations and of athletics. However Treasurer Brown does not consider this bad at all, as many of those who do not at the present time under- An Ode of Vindication. Lauders of Olden Times, if it be true That all the nations in a twilight dim Have fallen, and the olden peoples were Broader of brow, of more heroic limb— Then let the little spirit in the rose Fold up the crimson curtains of its tent Into the hard green bud again, And let the earth roll back upon itself Its growth of being to its huge mistakes Of mountained flesh—for of what use were men? For then might regnant blasphemy declare That God has many firmaments unfurled, Star-powdered banners streaming everywhere, To celebrate the ruin of a world. Not so! tho still we battle (as of yore) Along the avenues of petty strife, Yet by rich increment grow more and more The nobler things of life: Write this in golden letter: The world is growing better And one by one each fetter Drops from the limbs of man; As neighbor helping neighbor, To implements of labor True hearts reforce the saber And bless instead of ban. From the satyr's sensual lip And the faun's degraded leer Already golden numbers slip And the saint begins to peer. Mid the shambles dark of life There gropes the pure desire Like a lily thrusting tendrils out For sunlight, from the mire Which fathered it—the riddle Still doth the god maintain: From sin there springeth virtue, And joy is born of pain. --Written for the first number of The Kansan by Harry H. Kemp. place in the Pharmacy department. The other changes are: Eliot Boardman, assistant professor in French. C. C. Crawford in place of Mr. Notestein in European History. Alford D. Schoch takes Mr. Vaughn's place in the French department. E. W. Murray, K. U.'s representative at Oxford for three years, is assistant professor in Latin. J. E. Todd in place of Professor Kay in the Geology department. Mr. Thomas in place of Miss Lynn. Mr. Moore, English; W. R. Robinson, Zoology; Charles Oshwald, Mechanical Engineering; Mr. Jackson, food chemist. stand what the fee is really for, will galdly pay it as soon as they learn of the many benefits to be derived from its use. Last year over 75 per cent.of the students paid the fee which allows a student admission to all foot ball and base ball played on McCook field and basket ball in the gym, the debates, orchestra, glee club, band,and mandolin club concerts. The first number of the M. S. U. Independent was issued last Saturday. The enrollment there at that time was 1541. TO HELP KENNEDY E. E. PARRY OF CHICAGO WILL BE ASSISTANT COACH. Brunner and Donald Will also Help Regular Squad and Train Class Teams. E. E. Parry of has been secured by Manager W. C. Lansdon as the new assistant football coach at the University this fall. Parry is a pupil of the great Stagg and comes to the university highly recommended. He played four years on the Chicago team, two years at tackle and two years at end. He is also a famous track man holding the conference record for the hammer throw. Last spring he coached the North Dakota University track team. At the head of all the teams and men this fall of course will be Bert Kennedy, for three years official tutor of the Kansas teams and the recognized authority on football in the Missouri Valley. Six regular football squads will practice daily on McCook this fall instead of three as in the past. The new conference rules do not allow the freshmen to play outside games, so to overcome this difficulty and arouse more interest in football, it was decided to organize teams from every class this fall instead of just the freshmen. These teams are to be entirely independent of the varsity and scrub squads. A regular schedule of seven games has been prepared in which every team meets the other once. The winner is to receive a silver loving cup to be placed in the trophy room of the new gymnasium. Assisting Kennedy and Parry will be Donald and Brunner, for four years the invincible pair of tackles who won places at the very head of the list of gridiron heroes. Both will return for more school work and will have charge of the class teams. To All University Students. Heretofore a rule of the University has existed stating that enrollment would close on the Saturday before classes were opened. This year Registrar George O. Foster proposes to enforce this rule to the dot and those who "drop in" to the registrar's office after next Saturday to signify their intentions of entering the University will have to present unimpeachable evidence of their inability to register earlier if they wish to become students at the University.

The Chancellor takes this opportunity offered by the Kansan to extend a cordial greeting to the students, both old and new, who will be at the University of Kansas during the coming year. He hopes they will render all the assistance in their power toward making this the best year in the history of the University, and to that end he expects them to stand for the highest and best things in university life. The University is now large enough so that the matter of size need call for no special concern; what is needed now is a higher ideal as to the importance and continuity of university work and the moral and spiritual standards of our community life. THE CHANCELLOR. Fatherly advice is always trite. The gratuity that prompts it is usually wasted on the ungrateful receiptents. But those who are entering the University for the first time, listen: You are sent here for purposes greatly different from what your inclinations tempt you to pursue. Next Monday when classes begin, Freshmen, you should begin—and don't let up. Ninety out of every hundred who find failure the sequel to the their brief college career fix their destiny the first few months of school. Keep before you the picture of the delinquent returning home at the end of the first term—a failure in the first struggle of life. Attend your classes and keep up your work for the first month and the habit will be formed and many an hour of despondency at the close of the first term will be avoided. Students can stand a trust on most things but when the livery men want to monopolize such a necessity as cabs it is indeed time someone is shouting "hold, enough." It is not known whether or not the Attorney General and county attorney have a son or daughter in the University, but anyway their action in "busting" the trust put their names along side the greatest "trust-busters" of the age. One freshman says he has already promised his laundry to nine different firms,has subscribed for seven papers,has engaged board at eight clubs, and all before he got away from the depot. There were several hundred students who went boating on the river this summer without getting wet, but three or four professors got off dry land and the bunch got ducked. Willis Carruthers, A.B.

What would have been a dire disaster to university students was only averted by mere chance—a livery trust. A few days ago the liverymen of the city published an announcement in the papers stating that all prices beginning with the middle of the month would be raised. Cab fares were to be the same within certain limits but all of the hill top district including the Sigma Nu, Phi Psi and Pi Phi houses, was to be in the fifty cent fare class. The price of livery rigs was to be raised from the customary $1.50 for an afternoon, to $2.00 and $2.50 on Saturday and Sundays. Mr. W. C. Simons, of the Lawrence World, thinking the the prices exorbitant on the students filed a complaint with the county attorney, stating that the liverymen were violating the anti-trust law. The county attorney began investigating the charge and as a result the trust suddenly disappeared in the dim blue air. The county attorney had a clear case against the liverymen and had the law taken its course the penalty would have been a $500 fine and a month in jail. Mr. Simons who was responsible for the breaking of the trust has also received a letter from Attorney General Jackson stating that there was a clear case against the liverymen here and that if they did not disband their organization the state would take steps against them.

Novel Plan Adopted last Spring- Going into Effect this Fall. A new and unique plan has been adopted by the sororities of the University for the rushing of new members this fall. A Pan-Hellenic council was organized last spring composed of an active member of each of the four sororities and one alumnus and the following plan was decided upon to go into effect this fall. On the Saturday after the second week of school delegates from each of the sororities meet and going together, deliver written invitations to the girls they wish to become members of their sorority. According to popularity one girl may get one or she may get four invitations. After the invitations are delivered the sorority girls go to their respective homes and await the next Monday morning when the girls signify their acceptance to the invitation by appearing unaccompanied at the breakfast table. At this time the colors are placed upon the new pledge and the rushing season is over. Delicious Ice Cream Soda with Pure Food Juices at Wiedemann's. Coach Hagerman Wedded. J. P.

CHAPEL ADDRESS JUDGE SMART DELIVERED SPEECH ON GETTING READY. Before an audience of 2,000 persons this morning congregated at the opening chapel exercises, Judge C. A. Smart of Ottawa, Kansas, delivered an eloquent and impressive address on "Getting Ready." The speaker showed how each man's life depends upon his early training and that life is not a game of chance. Strong men are the need of the hour with combination of courage, energy, education, cheerfulness and discipline. The address in part was as follows: Strong, Courageous Men of Discipline are the Need of Hour. Early Training Necessary. Life is no game of chance, young people. Life is no game of chance. The events in life are most severely logical. Causes precede effects and effects follow causes with most unerring exactness, and rewards and results and compensations follow human action as night the day. There is not a man this morning filling a position of honor and power and responsibility, nor a woman filling a position of usefulness and great influence who, in the days gone by, did not get ready for the exact position each now fills. And more than this, we are apt sometimes to think that only those who fill responsible positions in life—those who have succeeded—are the ones who got ready. The rule is not thus limited; it is universal. How shall you get ready? What preparation shall you make? For what shall you prepare? I know of no better way to answer these questions than to consider briefly the needs of the hour—not only the needs of the present hour, but the needs of the hours to come. What, then, is the need of the hour? I doubt not that the answer is already in the minds of each that the real need of the hour is men, strong men, men big enough and strong enough to demand and receive what belongs to them, and at the same time big enough and strong enough to keep their hands off that which don't belong to them. The easy things, young people, are not the most desirable things. The easy ways in life are not the more useful ways in life. "Only in dreams is a ladder thrown From the lowlyearth to the sapphire And the dream departs and the vision falls. And the sleeper wakes on his pillow of stone." NUMBER 2 He is not the best student who is found searching the catalogue for an easy course in his college life. The world needs courageous men. A long time ago some men had been toiling all night to catch fish and hadn't succeeded. In the morning the wisest personality who ever walked the earth instructed them to "Launch out into the deep." The advice was good then and it has been good ever since. The world is in need of men who have the courage to launch out into the deep. The world needs energetic men. Energy covers a multitude of defects. It is written "Reason's the chart but passion's the gale," and this is right. Life must have a chart; reason is the chart; but young people, don't spend your entire life studying the chart. You know men, and so do I—there are thousands of them—who spend their whole time studying life's chart and never have gale enough to get anywhere. The world needs educated men,men completely educated; educated mentally,morally and physically;men who are educated for public good and not for private enjoyment only; men of whom it can be said, "the world is better because of their education." The world needs cheerful men. We have all the gloomy men we need. If some man could discover a method by which pessimists might be eliminated he would render a service of inestimable value to mankind. The world needs men of discipline. For twenty years and more, I have been interested somewhat in trying to discover some reason why so many young people come to grief, and I believe that there is no reason more potent than the tendency to rebel against constituted authority. It is found in the home; it is found in the schools; it is found in civil and military life altogether too much. Young people, in your college life, don't forget to study the Book of Books. It is the chart of life. It is not the record of trivial acts but of mighty deeds. It is not a biography of old foggies or weaklings, but the biography of great men, men who impressed their personality on the world when it was new. It is the great store house of knowledge. It is the great Guide Book to which you may go when in doubt. It fits all kinds and conditions of humanity. It is the final report of the Chief Engineer with the map and profile of life. Young people, have you disappointed yourselves? Have you disappointed those to whose hearts you are very dear? Have you failed? There is but one thing that you can do. Bend your energies once more. Gird yourselves for another attempt. GAME AT JOPLIN? KANSAS CITY OUT OF QUESTION—JOPLIN IS A QUESTION. Manager Favors the Lead and Zinc Town, but Thinks Game Will be Played Here. Manager W.C. Lansdon stated today that the Thanksgiving game of foot ball with Missouri would not be played in Kansas City as has been the custom for years. The manager gave it as his opinion that the game will be played in Lawrence, but personally he is in favor of playing the game at Joplin, Mo. Every possibility of finding a suitable place in Kansas City where game can be played has been exhausted and the manager is in correspondence with Joplin parties in regard to playing the game in that city. Every effort has been made to get Manger Tebeau of the Association park in Konsas City to make a reasonable proposition but he still demands 25 per cent. of the gross receipts and the other propositions that been received from Kansas City are more unsatisfactory. Manager Lansdon is acquainted with the conditions around Joplin. In regard to playing the game there he said: "Joplin has a population of 50,000 people, and electric car connections with 75,000 more. I have figured that we would have good railroad connection with 1,000,000 people, and the game would be a financial success. Since Kansas City has been eliminated from the list of possible places Lawrence and Joplin are the only two places left. I expect to go to Joplin in a few days to talk with some of the citizens over the matter. Joplin a good good place to play the game with a seating capacity as large as that at Kansas City. Of course there will be a strong sentiment in favor of playing the game in Lawrence, but I believe we can get a $3.00 rate to Joplin and the train can make the trip in 4 1-2 hours." Mr. Lansdon is anxious to decide on a place and after his return from Joplin a decision will be reached. PROF. CARRUTH IN EUROPE. Has Visited Many Countries this Summer. The Chancellor received today a letter from Professor Carruth, who is spending a half year in Germany. He is now in Berlin, having traveled through England, Scotland, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland and Southeast Germany. He and Mrs. Carruth are both in excellent health. Professor Carruth is doing some important work for publication. He sends his hearty good wishes to his colleagues and students. HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION. Why Students Should Join—Become Members. The success of the University Hospital Association among the students last year assures it a permanent place in the organizations of the school. As the student body increases, the health problem becomes more serious. The enrollment of this school exceeds the population of many towns in Kansas. In a town of 1500 inhabitants two or three doctors are kept busy. In a student body of 2,000 the same is true. Some illness is sure to prevail. It may be you. The unexpected always happens. The Hospital fee will probably be $1.00 for the year. In case of illness, students having paid this fee will be entitled to medical attention and hospital service free of all charge. Any sane person can see what it means. It is no graft, but a worthy effort of the University Health Board in behalf of the students. ENROLLMENT IS HEAVY. 1150 at Nine this Morning-Only 607 Had Paid Athletic Fee. At nine o'clock this morning the enrollment for the fall term of school had reached the surprisingly large number of 1150. Of this number 607 had paid the athletic fees. Before the day is over it is expected the enrollment will reach 1400. This enrollment does not include the summer school which had 300 students nor the Rosedale medical school which brings the present enrollment past the 1500 mark. The present indications are that the enrollment will be a record breaker exceeding 2,000. WILL BE FINISHED OCT. 1. Regents Ask Contractor to Rush the Work-Doors Closed. The Board of Regents at its last meeting notified the contractor of the Gymnasium that the work on the building must be completed by October first. There are many odds and ends yet to be finished, and some few things about the building will have to be done over again. In order to place nothing in the way of the rapid completion of the building so that the students may have the use of it as soon as possible, it has been closed to all persons excepting the contractor and his workmen. The building when finished, is expected to be one of the most acceptable on the campus. Chancellor's Reception Friday Eve.

The student assessment fee of $2.00 has been paid by 569 students out of 1061 enrolled. Of this number enrolled there is a small per cent of upper classmen and this in a large measure accounts for the apparent indifference. The fee is an excellent advantage offered to the students whereby they can see practically all the entertainments offered by the various organizations of the University, athletic, musical, and debating,-40 attractions in all-for the sum of two dollars. Besides the selfish purpose the student might find in buying the ticket he will also help develop the University spirit by bringing out a large attendance to the various entertainments. The Kansan wishes to impress upon all students—new and old—the advisability of joining the Hospital Association. Those in the best of health are prone to disregard the time when sickness may come, but in the case of the Hospital Association the cost is so small and the possible benefits so overwhelmingly great that common sense demands that the students affiliate with it. The faculty, the students, everyone is in favor of the scheme. If the students hold back the project will fall through. Don't delay. Pay your fees when you enroll. The trust microbe seems to be spreading into diverse places and occupations of late. Lawrence saw the "cab trust" blow up a few days ago. At Baldwin the barbers decided to charge 5 cents extra for shaving a man's neck and like the Lawrence livery men were advised by the County Attorney to reconsider their proposition. The next thing the boarding clubs will organize a trust and the laundry men will raise their prices. A couple of enterprising young men upon arriving in town a few afternoons past, started to get a trasfer man to deliver their trunk and upon finding that about a dozen men were anxious for the job they decided they could make the quarter of a dollar and started up the street carrying the trunk and were last seen going south past the 1300 block on Tennessee. Washburn is trying the $2 voluntary fee for support of athletics this year and nearly every person enrolled has paid the fee. Notwithstanding the sanguinary results that follow an encounter between K.U. and Baker students, the action of K. U. students in driving the 'bus trust out of business and of Baker students in suppressing the iniquitous neck-shaving trust show that the two schools are capable of forgetting their differences and working together in the cause of good citizenship. The possession of two such trust-busting institutions within its borders ought to give Douglas county a high place in the esteem of our trust busting president.

GAME ON McCOOK THANKSGIVING CONTEST WILL PROBABLY BE PLAYED HERE Joplin Deal Has Fallen Through Sixty Men out for the Team. The present indications are that the Thanksgiving game will be played on McCook field. The proposition to play the game at Joplin has fallen through owing to the fact that no rates could be secured on the railroads. Joplin practically offered the $2,000 bonus and a better place for the game than Tabeau farm at Kansas City. The manager of the Kansas City park still insists on 25 percent. of the gross receipts, but several influential alumni in Kansas City are using their influence to secure a better proportion. There is a strong sentiment at Missouri against playing the game here, but Manager Lansdon stated today that he believed when Missouri realized the gravity of the situation they would consent to play in Lawrence. It is thought by many who have been waiting developments that the game will be played as usual in Kansas City. Manager Lansdon however still believes that Lawrence will eventually land the game. Sixty men have been reporting for practice every evening and by the last of the week when the class teams have become fully organized the squad will probably approach the 100 mark. Practically all the veterans who will play this fall have already donned the moleskins, "Tub" Reed, Julius Cohn, Billy Rice and "Red" Coulter being the only "old heads" missing. Tub is having trouble with the eligibility committee again and may not join the team this season, although there is still hope of his massive 225 pounds filling the left guard berth again. Billy Rice has been suffering from an attack of malaria and will not get into the game until next week. "Billy" Miller, the veteran half-back, will be unable to play at all this season. "Billy" strained himself this summer and the doctors have forbidden him to attempt football this fall. "Billy" is a steady, consistent half and will be sorely missed. Practically all the practice this week has been devoted to running signals. Although scrimmage work will be started soon and Saturday the varsity will play a regular game against Brunner's freshman squad. During the past week Kennedy has been lining up the varsity sqnad as follows: Spear, center; Rouse and Stevenson, guards; Caldwell and Crowell, tackles; Milton and White, ends; Steele, quarterback; Forter, Angney, half-backs, Lobaugh, fullback. ORCHESTRA OUTLOOK GOOD. --- More Applicants than Places—The Orchestra Badge. About thirty-five applicants for places in the University orchestra were present at the first rehearsal Monday evening, and later arrivals who will try for places will bring the number above forty. This is a larger number than can be accommodated in the orchestra and with so many to select from there is assurance that good material will be found to fill every place. The orchestra last year had about twenty pieces. Several more pieces will be added this year. The orchestra has adopted as its emblem a handsome pin in rose gold which was worn for the first time at commencement last Juue. It is given to all members who have served one year with the organization. The design, a lyre and clarinet with the letters "K. U." across them, was made by Genevieve Sterling,'07. Welsh College Yells. Wales is by no means disposed to bend the knee to America, says T. P.'s Weekly. The Welsh yells are fully up to the transatlantic level. The University of North Wales has a yell something like this: "Bravo, bravissimo, ray, ray, ra-o-rack! Ray, ray-ra-o-rock! Ray-ray-ray-ray-o-rock!" Cardiff has somewhat a similar yell, while at Alberystwyth the cry is "Hip-hip-hur-aber! Hip-hip-hur-Aberystwyth! With a pip and a pang, and a yip and a yang, yak, yak, yak!" Yost's Star Tackle for County Att'y T. D. Smith, Law '00, is making the race for Republican nomination for county attorney of Brown county. Tom played on Yost's "Ever Victorious" '99 team. He works on his farm a couple days a week to keep in training. Evenings he sits on the porch of his residence and sings "Crimson and Blue" with his children. Tom is true blue. Important Chapel Friday. Chancellor Strong will deliver his annual address to the students of the University at Friday's chapel exercise. Every student both old and new should attend this chapel. Dr. Strong to University Faculties. Chancellor Strong is making his annual talk to the faculties of the University this afternoon upon various plans for the year. A BAND LEADER J. C. McCANLES OF LINCOLN WILL BE BAND MASTER. NUMBER 3 First Regular Instructor in History of University. Many Candidates for Places. The K. U. band will have a professional band leader this year for the first time in the history of the institution. The new master, Mr.J.E.McCanles comes from Lincoln, Kansas, and was for years a pupil of Professor A.F.Weldon of Chicago, leader of the famous Weldon Band. Mr. McCanles comes here strongly recommended by the Chicago artist as a cornet soloist and a leader of twelve years' experience. Last year the band composed of thirty pieces was purely a voluntary organization led by a student. New uniforms were purchased through the subscriptions of the students and they are now in the hands of the University awaiting the new band. The first rehearsal will be held in the chapel room tonight at 7:15, and regular rehearsals twice a week after that. From the inquiries now being made a large number of candidates will no doubt be out this evening, and the sound of brass and the tinkling of cymbal will soon begin to arouse the latent energy of enthusiastic students for the football season, soon to be opened. GYM OPENS NEXT WEEK. Students Should Get Lockers at Once. Dr. James Naismith, physical director, is giving out lockers in Room E, in the basement of the Chemistry building. These lockers are free to all and should be secured at once. In all the eastern colleges locker fees are charged but at K. U. everything is free. Classes in football, base ball lacrosse, swimming and other outdoor sports are being made up for the next six weeks. Dr. Naismith with Root, Hagerman, Shotts and Bailey are class directors. The new gymnasium will open next week and everyone should be ready to get into it. Former Gym Now a Laboratory. The large basement room of Snow Hall used for years as the gymnasium is now being used as a laboratory room for zoology I. J. W. Kayser, former editor of the Kansan, has recently bought out his partner in the Chickasha Journal and now has complete control. FELLOWSHIP ESTABLISHED. Professor Duncan Secures One in Industrial Chemistry. The Parke, Davis Co. of Detroit has established a temporary industrial fellowship in Professor Duncan's department of industrial chemistry, to be known as the Parke Davis fellowship. This fellowship, like the Alden Speare fellowship, yields $500 a year for two years and offers the fellow appointed one-tenth of the value of any discovery resulting from his work. The subject of investigation proposed by the company deals with the enzymes, and concerns the finding of new starch digested. Ralph C. Shuey, of last year's graduating class is the first holder of the fellowship. Mr. Shuey has been summoned to Detroit for a preliminary conference with the company. This constitutes the second fellowship established in Professor Duncan's department. PRESENT ENROLLMENT 1811. Granting Late Registration as Last Year-2200 Coming. The enrollment at the University including summer school and the Kansas City medical reached the high mark of 1811 yesterday evening. The entire registration for last year was only a small number larger than the present for this year and Registrar Foster says that 400 enrolled after this date last year. Granting that no more would enter late this year than last year the aggregate registration of Kansas University for the year 1907 and 1908 would number over 2200. BUSY EXAMINING ATHLETES. Dr. Naismith and Coach Hagerman Examine Candidates. These are busy days for Dr. Naismith and Coach Hagerman. Every man who takes gym or enters athletics of any kind must undergo a rigid physical examination and many candidates are presenting themselves. To date thirty-two have chosen cross country running and several times that number have been examined and assigned to gym classes. The outlook for track material is very promising for this season of the year. Regular work for the gym classes will not begin until about October 1st, at which time the gymnasium will be opened.

Subscribe for the Kansan. $1.00 for one year—70 issues. Keep a file of the Kansan and at the close of a four year course you will have a history of the University. The Kansan stands for the same principles of building up the University and its various organizations and fairness to every individual as were inaugurated when the paper was placed upon a competitive merit system three years ago. At times we expect to knock but only when conditions are such that we deeply believe a "rap" may be for the good of the University. If we are to be square, we want the hearty support of the students. We want every student in the University to read the Kansan and we must have a large per cent on the subscription list. Send the paper to your home folks and see how glad they are to read what is taking place at the University. It will almost take the place of a letter. Now that the congestion of the first few days of school in the halls is practically over you can begin to see gathering here and there little groups of students planning out slates for the political season. Within the next few days the halls will be filled with a humming and the professors who have been here many years will know "why" when in many cases they hear no answer to the call of the roll in their classes. Some one offered as a suggestion to those in charge of the enrolment that a rope be attached to the door of the registrar's office and then be fixed at each station around the course the new student must pass. In this way the new student could hold on to the rope and when he found it fixed he would know it was a stopping place. There would be no danger of getting lost as the rope would lead the bewildered student through the labyrinth of stops safely to the starting place. The athletic board will hold a special meeting tomorrow to decide upon that troublesome question which has kept sporting circles in a whirl of excitement for the past month—where shall the Thanksgiving Game be played? The plan of holding the contest at Joplin ended by the refusal of the Santa Fe to give satisfactory rates. Everybody was glad the project ended that way for sentiment was dead against taking the contest to Joplin. It looked too much like playing the game for money alone and the sacrificing of the spirit of amateur athletics for financial considerations. The logical place to hold the contest is on McCook field this fall and at Columbia next. It is in keeping with the spirit of the university that all athletic contests should be played on college grounds, and now that there is a difficulty in securing grounds at Kansas City the opportunity of bringing the game here should not be permitted to slip by.

To the Editor: Now that it is found impossible to have the Thanksgiving foot ball game in Kansas City, is it not a good time to make two desirable reforms in our athletic schedule? A great many people think that an exciting public athletic contest is inappropriate to Thanksgiving day, and would it not be best for us to respect their scruples? We gave up playing a base ball game on Decoration day out of respect to such scruples, and it would take away a source of a good deal of criticism of the University if we should play our final foot ball game on the Saturday preceding or following Thanksgiving day. Then, University sports are for the benefit of students, not for the populace of a great city; and we can secure this only by having our games always on the athletic fields of the competing Universities. That is the best way of keeping them purely University and not professional, in fact sports rather than mere contests. That would make it possible for all students, even the poorest, to attend them; for the whole body of students, in fact, instructors and employees of the University to gather around the players and inspire and support them. Sincerely yours, A. M. Wilcox. When you eat at Vic's you know you are getting the best and cleanest food that money can buy. Football Schedule for 1907.

Basket Ball Team From Far North to Tour U. S. In 1903 Don Alford graduated from the University of Kansas. During his school life he was an enthusiastic supporter of basket ball, being captain of the 'Varsity five for one year. After graduation, he went to Nome, Alaska. In this country of ice and polar bears, the citizens are ardent enthusiasts of basket ball. The game is played everywhere. Finding conditions thus, Alford at once conceived the idea of developing a strong All-Alaska team and touring the U. S. His plans have at last been realized. This summer, the citizens of Nome subscribed $10,000, to support the scheme. Alford was elected manager and captain of the team that will tour the U. S. this year in a private car. Ten men are scheduled to make the trip besides the coach and assistants. They will leave Nome Oct. 1, and with a favorable voyage will reach Seattle November 1. They will visit the more important schools along the Pacific coast, playing an extensive series of games there before coming east. After the Pacific coast schedule is completed, they will start across the Rockies stopping at the principal cities along the way such as Salt Lake City and Denver. From Colorado they will go north into Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois. On finishing their series at Chicago, they will come to Kansas City, where they will play the K. C. A. C. Probably just before the Christmas holidays they will reach Lawrence. No game with K. U. has yet been scheduled, but arrangements to that effect light be made. Pennants Manager Lansdon in speaking of the trip said "Manager Alford has written me about a game with the Alaska team. We cannot tell definitely when they Get ready for the games. Stevenson-Hopper 819 Mass. St. The Eskimos will then finish their tour through the eastern part of the U. S. playing at all the big schools in the east. He Had The Habit. It seems that special fees are being required of students in more subjects than usual this year. Therefore the error into which a College freshman fell was not unusual. At every step of his progress since arriving here he had been stung for one kind of fee or another, and so at the end of his first recitation in Zoology he walked up to the instructor, purse in hand, and asked, "And now do I owe you anything?" Are you a Freshmen? If so, ask any old student about the reputation of the K. U. Pantatorium.

SCORED THE SNOB ANNUAL ADDRESS BY CHANCELLOR TO STUDENTS. NUMBER 4 Plead for Spirit of Democracy, Permanency of Students Suggested Dormitories. Chancellor Strong in his opening address yesterday in scatching terms scored snobbishness among students and made an earnest plea for the continuance of that democratic spirit that Kansas has been noted for. He stated in his address that he thought the establishment of dormitories was the only way in which a return to "old college life" could be brought about and impressed upon the fraternities the importance of using their splendid opportunity of cultivating a true college spirit. His remarks were in part as follows: "I always approach this occasion with considerable emotion. When so many important things must be mentioned, the wrong word may be spoken. It is a sad thing to know that many in this student body will fail before the end of next June and fall by the wayside. Something is radically wrong somewhere when so many of our students quit at the end of one year. As you enter this new life, take a little time to think. Do what you came here to do. The University wasn't founded primarily as a place for a good time. There is a serious side to class work and to University life, and the students should be honorable in regard to this part of their work. "Another question that arises is, What is the best way to increase the democratic spirit of the school? We do not have many snobs here nor many aristocrats in one sense of the word, but we must have the assistance of the students in order to keep democratic spirit alive." The Chancellor then discussed many plans of developing school unity and meeting the problems of school life. He suggested the dormitory system as a means of bringing about a common spirit among the students. The fraternity and sorority houses aid in some measure to bring this about, but do not affect the school as a whole. In the regulation of social life and the life of the school in general, the fraternities and sororites must play their part. It is essential to have the cooperation of all, if the best interests of the school are maintained. He further commented on the apparent looseness of discipline and the relation of the new college to the old. A man is much the same after he leaves the university that he was while in it. Very few make any radical change in their habits of living. Hence it is essential to keep one's self under a discipline more or less strict. SENIOR CLASS TICKET NAMED --- '08 "Barb" Boys Announce a Ticket. Composed of Both "Frat" and "Barb" Men. "Frat" and "Barb" Men. At a meeting of about two dozen of the "barb" members of the Senior class Wednesday evening a class ticket for the coming year was made out. The fact that a man was a "barb" or a "frat" man was not used as the standard in selecting the names, but rather the question whether the person could or could not fill his place if elected. The election will be called Tuesday noon in the chapel room by R. L. Douglas, acting president. The ticket as made out is as follows: President, Allan W. Dodge; vice-president, Roy Cook; treasurer, Clifford Corp; secretary, Susie Shaffer; editor annual, Carl Young; manager annual, John Schwinn; manager play, Frank Parker; chairman play, Cecil Forter. --- Additional "Frat" Pledges. Since last Saturday the following men have pledged to the fraternities: Phi Kappa Psi:-Geo. Fife, Kansas City. Beta Theta Pi:-Max Wilhelmi, Lawrence; Thomas Palmer, Wamego; Harold Fish, Topeka. Phi Delta Theta:-Herman Walker, Hutchinson. Phi Gamma Delta: — Chas. Richardson, Cleveland, Ohio; Robert Roos, Kansas City, Mo.; Robert Banks, Kansas City, Mo.; Horace Brain, Kansas City, Mo.; Forest Amsden, Wichita; Edward, Amsden, Wichita; Harry Heaton, Wichita; Reginald Sherman, Wichita; Geo. Boughton, Leavenworth; Clyde Watkins, Council Grove; Peter Hood, Pittsburg. Sig Alph:-Warren Belows, K. C.; Harry Cugler, K. C.; Ray Loofbourrow, Wellington; Ben Minneapolis. Sigma Chi:-Jerome G. Beatty Lawrence; Carl Sherman, Salina; Van Birch, Junction City; Mr. Wood, Ness City. The sororities are very busy with their rushing and under the new Pan-Hellenic rules they will not pledge any new members until a week from Monday. The Kappa Kappa Gamma entertained their friends with a matinee dance at Bowersock's yesterday, and the Pi Phis will give a dinner dance this evening at their new home on Oread avenue. The four sororities were at home to the new girls of the University in Snow Hall this afternoon. Sigma Nu:—Wm. Pepperell, Concordia; Frank Burn, Sedan. The Alpha Taus will give an informal dancing party this evening at their house, the first one since it was remodeled this summer. FAVORS JOPLIN DR. HETHERINGTON IN CONFERENCE HERE THIS MORNING Tells Athletic Board Where Game Should Be Played.—No Decision Reached. Dr. Clark W. Hetherington, manager of athletics at Missouri University, was here this morning conferring with Manager W. C. Lansdon and the Athletic Board about the Thanksgiving game and eligibility rules. The place for the turkey day game was argued all morning and no definite conclusion was reached. It is evident that a real problem is before the two schools. Dr. Hetherington seems afraid of Lawrence for some reason, and favors Joplin or Kansas City. The K. C. A. C. proposition was mentioned, but as it means a seven-year contract and an expenditure of $14,000, it was not seriously considered. Manager Lansdon in speaking of the question said, "We accomplished nothing definite but convinced Dr. Hetherington that Kansas would not go to Joplin. We showed him McCook field with a view of getting the game here. He will discuss matters with the Missouri Board Thursday. Something definite will probably be decided next Saturday." PRACTICE IS GOOD. Football Situation Improving Since Hard Work Started. Coach Kennedy's football proteges held lively scrimmage on McCook last evening, the first one of the year; and before the little battle was over, the varsity had scored 10 points while the scrubs had worn themselves out in vain trying to connect with the varsity's goal line. It was a lively battle while it lasted and bumps and hard knocks were handed out generously by both sides. Using their last year's formations and with Angney at quarterback, the "vets" carried the ball from the kick off straight down the field to a touchdown. Then the scrubs settled down and there was a battle royal until Forter negotiated a field goal. Both sides hung up the "nothing doing" sign for the remainder of the game. This afternoon the 'Varsity is plugging away at Brunner's freshman squad for the first regular game of the season. The past week has seen a big improvement in the football situation. Big Tub Reed the 230 pound giant donned the moleskins. Billy Miller is back in the game, and Billy Rice and Julius Cohn will probably report for work next week. There is still a shortage of backfield material. The charging machine has been introduced into practice this week and the men have plugged away faithfully at it. SCHEDULE FOR INTER-CLASS GAMES Ten Contests in All—Freshmen vs Juniors October 5-100 Suits Checked Out. "Let everybody play football" is the new mandate from the Athletic Board of the University of Kansas. One hundred suits have already been checked out and new men as going into the manly game every hour. Five squads are already at work on McCook field and others will be formed Monday. Each class will have one or two squads to work out material for the class tournament which begins next Friday with a game between the Freshmen and Juniors. Brunner began work with his freshmen squad Tuesday night on the golf links. Twenty-five men are out and Brunner is separating the sheep from the goats. His practice in running down punts is getting the '11 men in good form early and the sports are betting that the newcomers walk off with the class championship. It will be remembered that Brunner's freshmen last year scored a field goal on the 'Varsity in two minutes play in the first real game on McCook. The schedule is: Friday, Oct. 4, Freshmen vs. Juniors. Saturday, Oct. 5, Sophs vs. Seniors. Friday, Oct. 11, Freshmen vs. Seniors. Saturday, Oct. 12, Sophs vs. Juniors. Saturday, Oct. 19, Freshmen vs. Sophs and Juniors vs. Seniors. Friday, Oct. 25, Freshmen vs. Juniors. Friday, Nov. 1, Sophomores vs.Seniors. Friday, Nov. 8, Freshmen vs. Seniors. Saturday, Nov. 16, Sophomores vs. Juniors. Saturday, Nov. 23, Freshmen vs. Sophomores, and Juniors vs. Seniors. The winning team gets a silver loving cup and free trip and admittance to the Thanksgiving game. This is the first time in the history of the sport at K. U. that there has been an interclass schedule with a trophy given to the winning team by the athletic board. Haskell vs Arkansas Today. The Haskell Indians played the first game of the football season this afternoon at Fayettville with the University of Arkansas. 'Varsity vs. the Freshmen. Brunner's tyros lined up against the 'Varsity this afternoon, and the end of the first half the score was 10 to 0 in favor of the 'Varsity. The freshmen played well. THE KANSAN Kansas.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 28, 1907 Chancellor Strong but voiced the sentiment of the democratic West in his excellent chapel talk yesterday when he said, "There is no place for the snob at K. U." The college is and always should be an essentially democratic institution, and when "gilded aristocracy" finds a place in it the modern university has failed in its purpose. The question of the building of dormitories at the University, which he also dwelt upon at some length, is a vital one. To care for such an enrollment as the University is now attaining, cannot but be a serious problem which needs immediate attention. The dormitory idea is not a new one at the University but has been considered thoughtfully for years as a possible solution of the problem of caring for the students. The next two years will probably see some definite steps taken toward the establishment of such a system here. The record of enrollment for this year will include some interesting and alarming figures. It is said there are between 500 and 600 students who were here last year and should have returned this year who have not yet put in an appearance. There are 900 new students in school. About 100 of those who did not return made failures last year. But how account for the other half a thousand students who have dropped out. Reasons outside the university can account for a large number of students falling out, but undoubtedly the conditions surrounding students here are not as they are in some schools. What is needed is a more unified body of students. Make university life more attractive. For this purpose the idea of dormitories is a good one. When it comes to pass that in the midst of the "rushing" season the four sororities give a joint entertainment for prospective pledges it is time to quote those lines from the Bible which begins "And the lamb shall lie down with the lion." If Thompson made as much money correspondingly as the average member of the K. U. book agent army that travels over Kansas each summer, in the fifteen years he has had, he ought to have enough money to go to school the next fifteen years. Registrar George Foster says he knows of half a dozen freshmen who have already gone home disgusted with the effort to find the classes. The lot of a freshman is unnecessarily hard. It would be a very easy matter for the university to alleviate the confusion that always occurs with the freshman. The snob in the long run snobs himself.

FIRE DEPARTMENT. Four Students Will Get Free Rooms, Light and Heat. The completion of the repair shop now under construction south of Fowler shops will not only add to the equipment of the University valuable facilities for repairing tools and implements used in the work constantly going on on the campus, but will also make possible the establishment of a much needed organization on the hill—a night fire-brigade. In this building a room will be set apart for the storing of a chemical fire engine and other apparatus used in extinguishing fires. Directly over this room will be a sleeping apartment for the accommodation of the firemen. This force will be composed of three or four men from the student body who are willing to be in that room from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. ready for duty in case of fire and receive in return the use of the room, heat, light, etc. At the present time the janitors of the various buildings have been organized into a fire brigade and drilled in the use of the necessary apparatus. These men go off duty at 6 p. and return at 7 a.m., leaving on the hill through the night only the night watchman and the man at the pump house. At all times the pressure is so low on the campus that the University water supply is kept up by pumping water out of the city mains into the University system. In order to do this it is necessary to keep the pump in action day and night throughout the year. Special arrangement has recently been made with the Lawrence water company whereby their pumping station will put on a pressure of 150 pounds in response to a call from the hill. This, together with the pressure afforded by the pump at Fowler Shops will enable a good stream of water to be thrown over the highest building on the campus. The Pharmacy school has felt the influx of new students more than any other school in the University, and on account of this there is not laboratory space enough to give the students proper facilities. More provisions must soon be made or the Pharmacy department can not do the work expected of it. MANY YOUNG MACHINISTS. An Increase of 50 Per Cent. in Enrollment in Fowler Shops. That the Engineering school continues to become a more popular part of the University is amply shown by the fact that fifty per cent. more students are taking work in Fowler shops this year than ever before. The large increase which is taxing the capacity of this department of the University, can partly be accounted for by the fact that the University enrollment is larger this year than before, but the increase in the number of students taking work in Fowler shops is out of all proportion to the increase in general enrollment. There are three students from Manhattan, six who have completed manual training courses, and three journeymen machinists taking work in the shops. G. T. Swarts of the College of Kentucky, has entered the Mechanical Engineering department of Kansas University as a Junior.

Seventeen years ago Herbert Thompson enrolled as a freshman in the University. Now he is a junior. After a vacation of fifteen years he has returned to finish the course he began a decade and a half ago. Many students start to the University and then stop a year to make money to continue in school, but few there are who cease their college studies for a space of fifteen years to recuperate financially. Changes vast and sweeping have modified the appearance of the University since Thompson started his college course. Mr. Thompson has completed two years of college work and has entered the medical school. His home is at Edwardsville, Kansas. He was a sophomore in the University in 1892.
