THE KANSAN. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEBRUARY 1, 1908 VOLUME IV. WALLOP AGGIES K. S. A. C. BEATEN BY SCORE OF 50 TO 12. The Jayhawker basket ball squad walloped the K. S. A. C. quintet last night to the tune of 50 to 12. The contest was rather tame throughout, the Farmers being no match for the splendid team-work of the Kansans. Inaccurate goal throwing on the part of the visitors was the cause of their defeat last night. Captain McCune of the varsity squad and Woodward did excellent work connecting with the basket. Ferris played a consistent for the Farmers. McCune the Star of Game—Missouri Here Next Week for Two Games.

After a Long Trip Abroad—Spent Six Months Studying in Berlin, Germany. The Carruths went to Germany last July with Mrs. E. V. McCullom, their daughter and her husband. For a short time they traveled over the Rhine country and through southern Germany, but for the past five months Dr. Carruth has been residing in Berlin where he could easily reach the great German libraries. W. H. Carruth, vice-Chancellor of the University returned to Lawrence after a half year's trip to Germany. Dr. Carruth went to Europe to gather material for his text book on the German Historical Novel which he has been working on for several years. He has now collected his materials and notes and the book will soon be completed. While abroad Dr. Carruth m many famous scholras and lit ary men. He is trying to a range for Professor Engel, or of his German friends, to con to this country and deliver series of lectures at some the larger American Univers ities. The Universities of Washington, Idaho and Oregon are attempting to form an athletic conference that will debar all freshmen from athletics. On their return from Germany the Carruths were entertained in Madison, Wisconsin by their daughter and in Chicago by Bruce M. Hill, formerly a member of the faculty here. Next Thursday evening Professor Engel and wife will give a reception for Dr. and Mrs. Carruth to members members of the faculty. Vice-Chancellor Carruth will take up his duties as head of the German department at the beginning of the new term. HOSPITALNEEDED FOR STUDENTS SUFFERING FROM CONTAGIOUS DISEASES. No Hospital Facilities at Present for Such Diseases—No Danger in Diphtheria Situation. A striking need for a private hospital at the University for students suffering from contagious diseases has been emphasized during the past few days by the diphtheria epidemic at the University. To escape being placed in the Lawrence pest house, which is being located on the city dump lot, the three students who were quarantined for diphtheria were placed in houses having no modern conveniences. The warm weather together with efficient medical aid made quick recovery possible in these instances, but unfavorable circumstances might have resulted seriously. Doctors Emley and Sudler of the University and Dr. John Rudolph, the county health officer, are in favor of having a cottage or private hospital rented or owned by the University and kept in readiness for the reception of students sick with contagious diseases. The hospital fee is too small and is not paid by enough students to cover such an emergency as this. Dr. Charles Emley, University physician, and Arthur English have completely recovered from diphtheria and the quarantine has been raised. James V. Adams is recovering rapidly and will be out in a few days. Wendell McCanles, assistant instructor in public speaking, developed a case of diphtheria from acute tonsilitis and has been quarantined. There are no other new cases and the epidemic is completely under the control of the medical authorities. PROF. ABBOTT ENTERTAINED. Members of Good Government Club Wednesday Evening. One of the most interesting meetings of the year of the Good Government Club was held at the home of Prof. W. C. Abbott on Louisiana street Wednesday evening. Professor Abbott made the speech of the evening on the "Relation of Education to the Political System." After the paper, the club indulged in a general discussion of the present system of secondary education. The failure of the high school to meet the demands made upon it for more practical work through the weakness of its courses in history, political science, and economics were discussed in an interesting manner by the members of the club. TULANE MAY GET HODDER Professor Frank Heywood Hodder is considering a proposition to deliver a course of lectures at Tulane University in New Orleans during the spring term. If he should decide to accept the offer, Professor George R. Chrisman of the Kansas Wesleyan University at Salina will teach American History in the University of Kansas. Professor Hodder stated this morning that he was still in correspondence with the board of Tulane University but as yet nothing has been settled. He will leave for New Orleans the last of next week if he should decide to take up the work. Head of American History Department Will Probably Be in New Orleans Next Term. Professor Hodder has been at the head of the American History department for seventeen years, and his standing among the educators of the country was recognized by his election as a director of the American Historical Association at its recent annual meeting.

Tuesday, February 4: Basket Ball, Kansas vs. M. S. U. Wednesday, February 5: Basket Ball, Kansas vs. M. S. U. Friday, February 7: Holiday --and called the University of Missouri, smiled and cast a satisfied glance at K. U. But ere quiz week of 1908 has become history Kansas will have an answer ready for Missouri, and it will be "We are here Missouri, 2,000 strong, and if you want to count the agricultural students we will balance almost 4,000 against your 2,000." The enrollment needs only about 20 more names to pass the coveted mark, and then Lawrence will be the scene of parades, bonfires and perhaps other good things. It will certainly be a time for rejoicing; for then the University will begin striving for the 3,000 mark, which when reached will place the University of Kansas along side the greatest institutions of learning in the United States. ABOUT CHAPEL ATTENDANCE. Why doesn't the faculty attend chapel in larger numbers than it has been doing during the past few weeks? Thursday morning out of the hundred instructors at the University only sixteen saw fit to attend the morning exercises and while this number was unusually small, it furnishes a criterion as to what the attendance has been right along since the opening month or two of school. Now it is far from the wisn of the Kansan to criticise the faculty, especially at the beginning of quiz week, but nevertheless it would like to modestly suggest that some members of the faculty get the habit of dropping around to chapel once in a while at least. There are a few students and quite a few instructors who have hardly been seen in chapel this year. Of course they should not be censured for not attending chapel on "Tuesday",but on other days it is their duty to attend semi-occasionally at least. It is the one time of the day that the University gets together as a university and all school lines are forgotten, and as the one University exercise should be made more important. The Kansan only wants to suggest that a little better attendance on the part of the faculty might increase that on the part of the students. Slowly, but surely as the time for the new semenster approaches, the enrollment is nearing the 2,000 mark. Last year the University of Missouri, located in a state twice the size of Kansas passed the coveted goal; and there was a holiday, and parades and bonfires by the students and joy unconfined. Then the State Agricultural College and State University, both situated at Columbia Mo., You've had "patience;" this will require no more. "Every little bit added to what you've got makes just a little bit more." February 14th and 15th The quarantine has brought out the need of a cottage or private University hospital for students who have contagious diseases. As soon as a student becomes sick he is not wanted at a boarding house or club and is placed in a dilapidated building where everything is against his recovery. James V. Adams is confined in a little house on Haskell Avenue, where there are no modern conveniences. The Hospital Asso- It will not be long before you'll see quite a number of men in this vicinity---"kicking themselves."

Ober's HEAD-TO-FOOT OUT-FITTERS Clearance Sale ciotion is too weak to carry out the plan of a private hospital so it should be the duty of the University to provide a suitable place for its sick students suffering from diseases. IMPROVING THE MUSEUM. Artifical Ledges and Cliffs Are Being Built. A great amount of work is being done in the Natural History building along the line of making artificial ledges and cliffs. Besides the half circle on the west side of the building the whole north and south ends of the first floor are being devoted to this work. On the west side of the south part of the museum a large chalk cliff, similar to those of Western Kansas, has been built, showing the erosions of both the wind and rain. In the same room two different types of limestone ledges are being built. Photographs were taken of bluffs near Lawrence and these used in making the ledges in the Museum. A gap was made between the two ledges in which a canyon will be painted, extending the cliffs to the background. Scenery will be portrayed upon the walls, and the ceiling painted to represent the sky. Small animals common to Kansas will be placed here and there among the rocks. In the north end of the first floor an old washed-down hill and a slope of red granite boulders is being built. To Entertain Pharmics. On Friday evening of next week the students of the Pharmaceutical Society will be entertained by the Dean and Mrs. Sayre at the Alpha Tau house. One part of the entertainment will be an illustrated talk on interesting Oriental views by Prof. A.M.Wilcox.

TIGERS DEFEATED JAYHAWKERS TAKE EXCITING GAME 21 TO 20. "Billy" Miller did his usual "stunt" by taking the ball across the field time after time on a dribble and passing it for a goal. The first half ended 8 to 10 in favor of the visitors, but Kansas came back with the usual determination to win and goals by Woodward on long throws soon began to tell. The superior condition and guarding of the local team soon put the score 21 to 16. Cheered to the finish, the Jayhawkers won the most exciting game of basket ball ever played in Robinson Gymnasium from the Tigers 21 to 20. From the time that Woodward tossed in the first basket from the field until the close of the last half the game was so close that a goal would have decided the contest. Teamwork of Kansas Squad the Feature.—Same Teams Play Tonight. Captain Henley then called on his men for a final effort and in the fierce contest of "indoor football" that followed, threw himself into the game and made two pretty field goals, when the timekeeper's gun closed the contest 21 to 20 in favor of the Jayhawkers. No individual man is responsible for the victory but the credit is due to excellent teamwork. Every man worked for the interests of the University and no player played to the grandstand. The same teams play again tonight. Washburn comes Saturday and William Jewell closes the Jayhawker schedule Monday. Kansas-21. G FT F McCune .2 0 0 W. Miller .0 0 3 Bergen .1 0 5 Woodward .4 5 0 M.

Friday, February 7: Holiday. Monday, February 10: Second term opens. A LITTLE QUIZ WEEK SERMON Right now when quiz week is here with all its trials and troubles, it seems to be an opportune time to thresh out that ever important question of a permanent student body. In a few days the results of the examinations will be over and the student will be face to face with his record for the past term. In only too many cases this record will not be what it ought to be or what it was expected to be. And then, to the freshmen especially, will come that annual "call from home and mother." After the strenuous work, and disappointments perhaps, of a hard quiz week, it is only natural that a student should feel discouraged, and want to quit. Especially is this true of the first year student who has never gone through the experience before. And many do quit. There is by far too large a percentage of students here at the University who drop out of school with the beginning of the second semester. The Kansan does not want to lecture or even perpetrate a sermon upon its readers but it does want to speak a word of encouragement to the student who is discouraged and planning to quit school. Now of all times is the moment to show your calibre. Go back into school the second term, with the grim determination of mastering your studies and not being downed by anything or anybody. It may seem discouraging at first, especially so if you have a condition or flunk to remove, but stick to your studies. Postpone your leaving school until after next quiz week and by that time you will be so firmly set in your own mind to finish school that only the faculty in arms could make you quit.

You can not afford to miss Presented by THE THESPIANS Of the University of Kansas AT THE BOWERSOCK OPERA HOUSE FRIDAY and SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14 and 15. reason why the University should not take active steps to provide a hospital or a proper place for the treatment of students suffering from contagious diseases. Among so large a student body as there is here at the University, there is always more or less danger of an epidemic becoming prevalent. The best safeguard against this is always being on the alert and ready to meet the foe before it gets in its deadly work. The medical faculty has done well with the facilities at its command but it needs better advantages. A hospital or cottage where students, ill, with anything that even suspicions of contagion, might be placed would be a big step toward The Finish Pick 'em out. Be your own salesman.

Although the season started out with a number of defeats the team has shown good form in the last few games and has a splendid chance of winning a large percent of the contests yet to be played. This is the first chance the students have had of supporting a basketball team and they have done well. The crowds have been very large and the game promises to become one of the most popular of college sports. The new gymnasium with its splendid court will encourage more men to come out for the team and Kansas can expect even greater things of her basket ball team in years to come. Afterthoughts The story is told of a senior electrical who stayed up all night to study for a quiz, but lying down for a short nap an hour before breakfast, did'nt wake up until nine o'clock. The quiz came at eight. Flunk! Flunk! Flunk! They're the only words I can see. Oh, would that I had a lowly two, Or even a measly three. Oh, well for the grinder lad— He can make that said straight one. Oh, would that I were a genius, Or else a professor's son. Oh, well for the grafter lad— He can get grades at his will. But the thought of the flunks that I couldn't avoid Gives me a cold, cold chill. Things must be in a bad way at Yale if the play "At Yale," which appeared here Monday night, in any criterion. Six sons of Eli had to "row like h-1," in the words the hero, to beat a two-man crew in the Harvard boat, and this achievement was considered worth a night celebration by a mob of eight Yale students. Perhaps the atmosphere of the piece was true to Yale in one particular: Yale, being an old school, is rich in traditions, and certainly every feature of this play's plot is a hoary tradition on the stage. It seems to be a safe bet that there is nothing quite so un-collegy as a "college" play. Dr. A. R. Kennedy DENTIST. Room 5, Jackson Building. Phones. Bell 1515 Main; Home, 344 X. N.

NEAR 2,000 MARK THE NEW TERM OPENS WITH FLATTERING PROSPECTS. Most of the grades for the past term had been turned in to the registrar's office at noon today, and the force in the office was busy sorting the cards. The number of flunks has not yet been determined, but "it looks like the usual number," said Registrar Foster today as he was looking through the cards of a bunch of delinquents. The second term of school opens Monday with the enrollment hovering close around the 2,000 mark. Today the enrollment lacked only about a dozen of reaching 2,000 and Registrar George O. Foster said he expected to see it go past 2,000 before the middle of the first week. The Grades Are Nearly all in and There Is the Usual Number of Flunks. "But the freshmen need not worry if they have made a fair effort to do their work. The University is always lenient with the first offenders." For the past five years about fifty students each year have gone home at the close of the first term. --- ANNUAL POST-EXAM JUBILEE. Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. Celebrated Ending of Quiz Week. The annual post-exam jubilee entertainment of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. was held in Robinson Gymnasium Thursday evening with Harry Herman, president of the Y. M. C. A., as master of ceremonies. After the use of a progressive conversation scheme for getting acquainted, the crowd was arbitrarily divided into sections representing the various schools of the University. The "Fine Arts" made a hit with their pantomime orchestra concert under the leadership of John Ise and E. B. Gift. The brief program was vigorously cheered by the audience. Roy Ridnour sang a solo, Miss Patti Hiatt gave two entertaining readings and John Ise furnished two whistling solos. Hot chocolate and wafers were served at the close of the evening's hilarity.

ABOUT UNFAIR ROOTING The conduct of a certain few spectators at the basket ball game Wednesday evening not only brought disgrace to the University but might have cost the basket ball squad the victory. Four times was Referee Ashley compelled to call touls on the crowd for unfair and contemptible rooting and he would have been entirely justified in adding to or three more penalties. Then the reports got out, as they are sure to, that the students at the University were not good sportsman, all because of the thoughtless rooting of a few spectators who were either ignorant of what they were doing or else were entirely lacking in some of the essentials of gentlemanliness. But not only is such conduct unbecoming of a university audience and does it work incalculable harm to the good name of the school before the general public but it makes the team work under a heavy handicap. Three points were added to the Tigers score through this thoughtlessness of a few spectators in the crowd. One basket ball man said after the game he would have turned in his suit if the game had been lost through the work of the crowd and he would have had just cause to do so. This matter of unfair and contemptible rooting, which has been in evidence all fall, is becoming a serious matter and if the reputation of the University is to be protected, the students must unite in stamping it out completely. The action of the athletic manager in charging the holders of student tickets admission to the Missouri Kansas game Thursday night is meeting with much adverse criticism among the students. Much of this criticism the Kansan believes is just. The manager took the position that eight games had been played here already and that if more contests were brought here an admission would have to be charged. Now the Kansan does not want to be unfair to the manager. It "The Little Minister" Barrie's great drama of Scottish life. Full to overflowing with the quaint eccentricities of the Scotch people.

The whole idea and spirit of the student assessment plan is that no admission shall be charged to the various events included under the tax. If the managements cannot afford to give all the contests scheduled for the two dollars, then raise the price of the ticket but do not charge extra admissions throughout the year.

Henry Miller of Fort Scott the 2,000th Student to Register=-The Enrollment Should Reach 3.000 by 1912 3,000 by 1912. NUMBER 35 Just as the clock in the Registrar's office pointed to the hour of ten Monday morning the enrollment in the University reached the 2,000 mark. Fifteen minutes later George Foster reported the enrollment for this year as 2016. The two thousandth student to enroll was Henry H. Miller, of Fort Scott. This is the fifth time he has enrolled in the engineering school. When he entered as a freshman five years ago the University had less than 1300 students. He is now a Junior, having attended the University only part of each year. There were a number of people waiting around the Registrar's office hoping to become number 2000. When one of them heard that the lucky man had already enrolled he said: "We might go away and come back in five years and be the three thousandth man." And according to the growth of the past few years it will take the University just five years more for the enrollment to reach another thousand. Ten years ago the University of Kansas had just 1000 students. Since that time it has grown with leaps and bounds, showing a yearly increase of ten per cent. If that rate of increase is maintained for five years more the enrollment will reach 3000. OREAD NEWS NOTES. Ever since the close of enrollment in the fall, the number has been hovering close to the 2000 mark. The beginning of the new term brought the necessary number and with a long line still waiting to enroll the second milestone of the University's growth was passed. And the enrollment has not stopped yet. Before the new term is over it is expected that the first 100 in the race for 3000 will have been secured. The rapid growth of the past few years has placed the University of Kansas alongside many of the largest institutions of the United States. Last year about this time Missouri University celebrated the enrollment of its second thousand. R. V. Rutledge, of Alva, Oklahoma, has re-entered the University. Mr. Rutledge is a senior in the Journalism school. Charles Baird and Cecil Fay are meeting Mr. McCanles' classes in public speaking during the latter's illness. Miss May Wallace, a member of the Kansan board has recovered from appendicitis and was at the University this morning for the first time in two months. She will not be able to carry her work this term but will teach in the high school. All of the University buildings have been fitted up with fire extinguishers. In the past the equipment along this line has been very meagre. Automatic chemical fire extinguishers have been placed on practically every floor of each building. GREAT FOOTBALL SCHEDULE. Iowa Game Assured—Washington Substituted for St. Louis. The University of Iowa will be included on the Jayhawker football schedule next fall, for the first time in ten years. A definite contract has been signed between the athletic managements of the two schools calling for a game. Washington University has also been substituted on the schedule for St. Louis University.

Coughlin will support her in the part of Gavin Dysart, "The Little Minister." The part of "Nannie Webster," the goodsouled old village gossip will be filled by Miss Oreta Moore.

STILL WINNING BASKET BALL SQUAD DEFEATS WM. JEWELL MONDAY. Score Was 19 to 11—Washburn Was Beaten Saturday 39 to 15. Still in their winning streak, the Jayhawker basket ball squad closed the local season and annexed their eighth straight victory last Monday evening. The fast William Jewell five were the victims and the Baptist boys never had a chance to win the game after the first five minutes of play. Kansas took the lead at the start and maintained it throughout. The score 19-11 shows the fierceness of the contest. The Jayhawkers did not give their opponents a chance to throw for the goal. The guarding was the best seen here this season. Every red and blue player played a heady and consistent game. 39-15 tells the story of the roughest and most one-sided game the Jayhawkers have won this season. The contest was with Washburn last Saturday night. Captain McCune and his men dazzled the Topekans with their team work and threw goals almost at their will. Score-Kansas,19: G FT F McCune .2 0 1 W.

THE 2000 ENROLLMENT The entire state is rejoicing with the University in its passing of the 2,000 mark in enrollment. It is a great event in the history of the school, and judged as a criterion of progress and prosperity marks an epoch in the history of the state. It means that the University of Kansas must henceforth be classed among the greatest schools of the country. It means that its sphere of usefulness is becoming and will become larger and larger. While the passing of the two thousand mark crowns with success the efforts of years to build up the numerical strength of the University, it should only be a call for harder and more loyal work in the future for the University. The three thousand mark is the goal ahead to be reached now. The work of the University can and will be extended and broadened and the University made of more practical good to the state. 3000 students by 1912 is the war slogan now. The University lost for a term the services of one of its most widely known men when Prof. F.H. Hodder went to Tulane today.The courses he conducted were systematic and among the best offered by the University. His successor, Prof.G.R.Crissman comes highly recommended and will conduct the courses on the same plan as his predecessor.

Manager Lansdon States His Position on Ticket Question. Editor Kansan:-I appreciate fully your motives in printing your editorial on the extra charge made for basket ball games after the first eight games had been played. Your paper represents the student body and is their organ in the discussion of university affairs. It is therefore entirely just and right that you should always be alert and active in the interests of the students. I believe however that you are wrong and I am right in the interpretation of the student enterprise ticket contract. In order to make a correct apportionment of the student volunteer fund to the different sports it is necessary to have a definite number of games. In basket ball I fixed that number at eight. But in making schedules especially in basket ball and base ball it is almost impossible to determine in advance on the number of home games. After a number has been fixed, as this year, it frequently becomes necessary to add games in order to fill out trip schedules, since it is a difficult matter to get games away from home without giving home games in exchange. Again in the course of a year it is necessary to make some contracts for different sports on a percentage basis. This cannot be done with fairness to both parties unless the number of games is fixed. If the number is fixed the cash from the student fund can readily be apportioned to the various sports and to each game in each sport. Without a definite basis for apportioning this fund all accounts with the several forms of sport would be little better than guess work and percentage contracts would be impossible. Finally it seems to me that the ticket held by each contributor to the student fund is sufficiently explicit, as it expressly provides that the ticket is not good beyond the number of games or entertainments indicated in the margin. But in order that there might be no just cause of complaint we have been charging ticket holders fifteen cents for basket ball while the price to the public has been twenty-five cents. It never occurred to me that any one would feel aggrieved by reason of getting more than his ticket guarantees to him. If there had been only eight games all will admit that ticket holders would have no cause of complaint. Or to make an extreme illustration if there had been no basket ball games at home ticket holders would have had no claim against the athletic association since no games in any one sport are guaranteed. The additional games are simply so much donated to the holders of the tickets. The additional money so collected is the property of the students and will be used under their supervision in providing for games and for equipment for the University athletic teams. I am sir, W. C.

With the ostensible purpose of visiting a cousin in Leavenworth, Lincoln came across the Missouri at St. Joseph on December 1. After speaking in Atchison and Leavenworth concerning the slavery question, Mr. Lincoln returned to his Illinois home. Society at Indiana University.

The game was a great neck and neck race from start to finish, with the Kansans in the lead at the finish of each half of the contest. K. C. A. C. Tried Desperately to Win—Teamwork of Kansas Men the Feature. McCune and "Billy" Miller were the particular stars for Kansas. Billy was there with his dribble and McCune shot five field goals.

Hull, Clyde Commons and J. R. Parsons. BAND CONCERT SUCCESSFUL. NUMBER 36 Semi-Classical Selections and Folk Songs Rendered. The University band gave a concert in Fraser Hall, Wednesday evening consisting of semiclassical music which was appreciated by a large audience. The baritone solo, "Mocking Birds are Singing in the Wildwood," by Charles Baird and the medley of old time songs and of sacred music were well received. In addition to the ten regular numbers on the program, Director J.C.McCanles had the boys give four extras in response to the applause of the audience. LITTLE MINISTER SCORES SUCCESS Thespians Played before a Large Audience Last Evening—Miss Clark Did Clever Work "The Little Minister," Barries famous comedy, was presented by the Thespians, the new dramatic club, at Bowersock's Opera House last evening and scored a distinct hit with the large audience. The cast clearly showed its weeks and weeks of faithful rehearsing and the play went on with a smoothness and cleverness worthy of professionals. Every player had made a careful study of his part and the difficult Scotch characters were remarkably well interpreted. From the first the interest was unflagging and the action natural and lively. Miss Mary Clark as "Babbie" the lord's daughter who disguised herself as a gypsy, took the difficult role with an ease and grace which won deserved applause from the audience. Her work throughout was of the highest standard. Miss Oreta Moore and Miss Fern Edie took the minor roles of the "guid wife" and the French maid very capably. Keith Clevenger, as the old Scotch elder, and E. H. Coughlin as the "Little Minister" both did admirable work in their leading characters and were well supported by R. E. Coughlin as Rob Dow and Maurice Allendoerfer as Lord Rantoul. Sybil Betts portrayed her part of the lad very cleverly. All the minor roles were well taken. Last Call for Pictures. The second performance of the play is to be given at the Opera House tonight. Senior photos and all organization pictures for the Jayhawker must be handed in at once. Harold Bozell, business manager, will be at the check stand Monday during chapel and from 11:15 to 12:15. Fred L. Stocks of Blue Rapids has been visiting at the Phi Psi the past week. FOR A HOSPITAL MOVEMENT STARTED TO SECURE ONE FROM STATE. Medical Board Outlines Plan for Sick Insurance to Cover Emergencies. The university health officers held a meeting Thursday afternoon to get definite plans underway toward the building of a permananent hospital at the university. After some discussion it was decided that the University could do nothing itself until after the next meeting of the legislature, but that a campaign should be started to show the people of the state, the dire need of the hospital so that the legislature would not hesitate to grant it at its first session. The board then outlined a system of sick insurance by which the situation can be met until the state provides for the erection of a hospital. Next fall the students will be asked to pay an optional fee of $2.00 toward a sick fund. If 700 students can be secured to pay this medical fee the hospital association will be in position to provide all necessary attention during illness such as a special doctor and nurse and the medical authorities will not be left helpless as they were in the recent diptheria epidemic at the university. "The health officers," said Dr. W. J. Baumgartner, "are powerless in this matter unless supported by the student body. If a hospital is ever obtained from the Legislature, the students must help show the need of it. They can aid materially by taking fees in the proposed sickness insurance." The student health committee consists of Miss Nola Ayers, Edwin C. Morgan and W. L. Stryker. They will receive opinions of the students about the matter and report to the faculty members composing the University health board. SAW KANSANS EVERYWHERE Prof. W. H. Carruth Optimistic Over His Trip. Prof. W. H. Carruth told several interesting incidents of his recent European trip in his talk in chapel Friday morning to illustrate his belief that the world is growing better, that the United States is progressing and that the University of Kansas is improving. In two instances over-payment for transportation was refunded. In London hotels, on the Rhine and in other places Professor Carruth met former students of the University of Kansas. William Clark of St. Joseph, Missouri, has pledged to Phi Gamma Delta. BROOKLYN PASTOR COMING. Forbes, Lyman Abbott and Other Speakers at Vespers. Dr. John P.

He is at present making a tour of the universities of the West. At the March vesper service Dr. Lyman Abbott will deliver the address. The service in April will be a musical service. The vesper chorus will give Gounod's "The Redemption." "DICK" KAUFMAN TO COACH TEAM Last Year's Star Slab Artist Will Coach Jayhawker Ball Tossers First Game Soon. "Dick" Kaufman, star pitcher on the varsity last year and a member of the pitching staff of the Springfield Western Association tram the past summer has been secured by the Athletic Association to coach the base ball team during the coming season. Kaufman is a sophomore in the Enginereering school and he will begin his duties at once. Last year he was recognized as the best college pitcher in the Missouri Valley. The base ball team will commence active training Monday. The first game on McCook field will be played in about a month with some professional squad. IDA M. TARBELL TO SPEAK. Many Notable Persons Will Address the Student Body. The committee on chapel speakers has secured Lyman Abbott, Ida M. Tarbell and other great lecturers to address the student body of the University of Kansas. About the third week in April Miss Ida Tarbell will give a chapel address. It is anticipated that the gymnasium will have to be used on this occasion in order to accommodate the audience. Miss Tarbell will will also lecture to the newspaper classes. In March Mr. Joseph L. Bristow, of Salina, will lecture in chapel and before the newspaper classes. These with the visit of Lyman Abbott during the High School Conference and Professor Thomas, the great authority on "Faust", make the chapel program for the coming term of great interest to the students.

THE NEED OF A HOSPITAL It is not now too early to commence a campaign to secure a large appropriation from the next legislature to build a hospital at the University. The Kansan already has called attention to the dire need of such a building and wants to again urge upon its readers immediate action in this matter. It will rest largely with the students themselves whether the movement to secure the hospital from the legislature is a success or not. It is up to them as well as to the health authorities of the University to impress upon the people of the state the great need of proper hospital facilities at the University. Let the students unite in this agitation to secure the needed appropriation and the legislature will not refuse to grant it. But in the campaign to be carried on to secure a permanent hospital building for the University, the need of some temporary means of caring for the sick should not be overlooked. The complete inadequacy of the medical authorities with their present facilities to handle the situation was clearly demonstrated in the recent slight epidemic of diphtheria which was prevalent at the University. The Chancellor and the medical authorities met Thursday to discuss the matter. The only feasible plan they could suggest to tide over this period of time until the legislature meets is to call upon the students to support the hospital association more heartily. Seven hundred students paying an optional fee of two dollars a year would amply cover the emergency until the legislature meets. The Kansan urges the students to give the hospital association and the medical authorities their heartiest support in this matter which is of the utmost importance to the welfare of every young man and young woman of the University. The deep interest of the people of Kansas feel for the University was well demonstrated the past week when the news spread over the state that the enrollment at this institution had passed the 2000 mark. Everywhere, in words of congratulation, through the plaudits of the press, in thousands of Kansas homes, the praises of the University were sounded. These laudations and well wishes of the people of the state demonstrate that the University is becoming a matter of pride to the people of Kansas. Let the sentiment of good will grow, it means more for the future than it has for the past. The selection of Dick Kaufman to coach the baseball squad this spring is a popular one. Kaufman is a veteran at baseball, skilled in the finer points of the game, and well liked by students and players alike.

Afterthoughts Considering that his ancestors were "all Pirates and Cattle Thieves" it would seem that Professor Carruth is justified in his optimism regarding the improvement of the human race. Professor Blackmar met with the commissioners of Douglas county this week to discuss the plans for a new jail. It is not quite clear whether he was called in in his capacity as a sociologist, or as a representative of the interests of the student body. An English professor criticized a student's paper by writing "Work Illegible" on the back of it, and the student had to bring it to him for interpretation. It is becoming generally understood on the hill that Chemisty II is only an abbreviation for Chemistry two times. N.B.-47 of the class of 160 received stopover privileges. Considering the fact that Professor Carruth received $10 rebate on his Cook tickets and $50 on his steamship fare and only dispensed penny tips, there is a widespread curiosity among the students as to what the entire trip netted him. HAD CUSTOM DUTY REFUNDED Thirty-four Dollars Recovered on Educational Material. A check for thirty-four dollars from the United States Board of Appraisers has been received at the Secretary's office. After a six months' litigation this amout has been refunded by the government to cover the duty paid by the University on a shipment of brick and marble from Italy. The material was ordered by the Latin department for educational purposes, but was held in the customs house at Kansas City until duty was paid. The matter was referred to the Board of Appraisers and finally decided in favor of the University.

BRYAN IS COMING WILL LECTURE IN ROBINSON GYM SUNDAY NIGHT. Women Are not to be Admitted on Account of Lack of Seating Capacity. William J. Bryan, orator and statesman and most prominent man in the Democratic party, will be in Lawrence next Sunday and at 7:30 will deliver his famous lecture "The Prince of Peace" in Robinson gymnasium under the auspices of the University and city Y. M. C.A. Mr. Bryan will arrive in the city from Topeka at 5:15 Sunday evening and will go to the home of W.R. Stubbs, where he will be entertained during his stay in the city. Mr. Bryan comes here from Topeka where he addresses the Sunflower club the night before. Admission to the lecture will be free by tickets, which will be passed out at the check stand. The object in this is to prevent confusion on the night of the lecture as it is expected that the number desiring admission will greatly exceed the capacity of the building. For the same reason admission will be to men only. Those in charge of the affair had at first intended to make it open to men and women but it was found that the members of the University and city Y.M.C.A could not be accommodated if this was done hence the exclusion of the women. Mr. Bryan will remain at the W.R. Stubbs home Sunday night and will leave Monday morning for his home at Lincoln. The University glee club will furnish music the night of the lecture. UNIVERSITY ATTRACTIONS. March Program Is Filled with Special Features. Next month will be noted for the variety of entertainments at the University. The annual exhibit of the School of Fine Arts will open March 4, with a collection of 133 paintings by American and foreign artists. The exhibition, now being shown at Kansas City, will be placed on the first floor of the Museum, and will continue through the month. In addition to several famous pictures by noted artists, two paintings by K. U. students will be exhibited. "A Bit of Nonsense" a picture of two skulls painted by Miss Claire Hageman, and "The Sunset"by Sophomore Party F. A. A. Hall Shanty's Orchestra February 28,1908. Admission 75c Miss Minnehaha Stearns are the ones that will be shown. NUMBER 37 The meeting of the University Bible Institute will open March 16 and will continue for five days. Dr. Lyman Abbott, the editor of The Outlook, will be the chief attraction of this week. The annual conference of high school teachers will meet March 20 and 21. Dr.Abbott will give the principal address at this meeting which will be held in conjunction with the Bible Institute. JAYHAWKERS GETTING READY. Coach J. P. Hagerman Expects to Win Indoor Meet—Kansas Has Lost Nine Men. The wail comes from the Tiger's camp that they have lost three veterans since last year. The Jayhawkers have lost nine of last year's leading veterans out of the game: Babb, Russell, Butler, Driscoll, Lapham, Putnam, Haddock, Newbold and Milton Miller. With the annual indoor meet with Missouri in Convention Hall only three weeks off and with Kansas hard at work, things look more optimistic for the Jayhawkers every day. However a remarkable state of affairs exists: instead of eliminating by tryouts in order to pick fifteen men for the squad, this year there are barely twenty men trying out. Coach Hagerman feels very confident of Kansas's ability to twist the Tiger's tail on March 13. His dope has it that the Jayhawkers should have first in the mile, half-mile, two mile, shot put, pole vault, low hurdle and high jump, while seconds look encouraging in the shot put, low hurdle and high jump. The squad of fifteen that will probably meet the Tigers in Convention Hall are: Priest, Captain Cooley, Cummins, Parker, Young, Wenger, McCoy, Martindale, Guthrie, Cohn, Coventry, Stevenson, Mitchell, Leland and Dennis. Secretaries of University organizations and clubs are requested to write a brief story and history of their organizations, and a list of officers and place it in the "Jayhawker" box at the checkstand at once. Organizations desiring to have cuts in the Annual should make arrangements with Harold Bozell. "Jayhawker" Organizations. The Athletic Association will hold a special meeting Tuesday to elect a student member to the athletic board to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Urbane Angney. Athletic Board Election. TIGERS DEFEATED JAYHAWKERS TAKE TWO MORE—30-19 AND 26-22. Twelve Straight Victories — Des Moines Y. M. C. A. Tonight— Then Ames and Nebraska. Playing ball like fiends, the Jayhawker basket ball squad won their twelfth straight victory and humbled the Tigers for the fourth successive time by defeating the Missourians in Columbia last night by the score of 26 to 22. The team work of the red and blue was too much for their opponents, and although the score was close, Kansas had the game tied up all the way. The team is playing wonderful basket ball right now and is standing the long trip well. After the game last night Captain McCune and his husky lads started to Des Moines, Iowa. Tonight they play Des Moines Y. M. C. A., Thursday they meet the Ames Aggies, and they close the season Friday and Saturday with two games with Nebraska. The first Missouri game was easy. Although the first half ended 12 to 8, the Jayhawkers went after the Tigers and by consistent teamwork in which guarding, dribbling and goal shooting was the continuous performance, won 30 to 19. Bergen, M. Miller, and McCune did the goal work, "Billy" Miller juggled the ball and Woodard played safety. The score: Kangos, 30. Kansas-30: Hamillus 00 G FT F McCune .4 0 0 W.

Officers for the spring term were nominated and elected at the Quill Club meeting Tuesday.

Miss Helen Eveland read a letter from the author to the club and gave a biographical sketch. Miss Rebecca Moody read a critical essay on Ernest Thompson Seton's works and the subject was given over to general discussion. Mr. Brock Pemberton and Miss Williams were elected to the club.

GLEE CLUB WELL RECEIVED ly—Successful Financially. University of Kansas Alumni Entertain Transient Club Royal The Glee Club returned Sunday from the annual spring tour. The club made a successful trip. Everywhere the club was heard by large audiences. At most of the towns visited the club was welcomed and entertained by K.U.Alumni Clubs.The trip was a financial success. Concerts were given in St. Marys, Osage City, Peabody, Marion, Emporia, and Manhattan, wher sang in the Agricultural College Auditorium. Thirteen men made the trip: Hollingsworth, Teal and Krehbiel, first tenors; Frickleton, Thomas and Snattinger, second tenors; Douglas, Cooper and Pemberton, baritones; Ford, Powers and Kemp, bass. Prof. Hubach accompanied the club as director. The club will give a concert in Ottawa Friday night and another in Kansas City a week later. Dance Programs at the Door. The Junior Class will give a dancing party in F. A.A.Hall Friday evening.In order to avoid the confusion of giving out the programs they will be handed out at the door.The music will start at eight thirty o'clock sharp. Two annexes in the rear of the law building at the University of Michigan are to be erected for the benefit of the smokers of the department.The object is to turn the tobacco users from the front steps of the building to a less prominent place. Something of the kind is certainly needed at K.U. The University is this week distributing a large edition of the University News-Bulletin containing the program of the Bible Institute to be held here March 15 to 22.

Bryan to the University Sunday promises to be one of the events of the collegiate year. Party lines will be forgotten and everyone will turn out to welcome him as one of the foremost leaders of America regardless of whether they believe implicitly in the principles he advocates or not. And the university should welcome heartily the public men that come within its doors. Nothing can help the school more than to have more and more of the men who are really doing things or who stand for things in the thought and policy of the nation here. It is a splendid thing for the students to come in contact with such men. It cannot but broaden their views and keep them in closer touch with what is going on in the world of public affairs. The University has been extremely fortunate in securing such men this winter. Bryan and Governor Johnson, who will deliver the commencement address, are without doubt the two most prominent leaders of the Democratic party of today. Miss Ida Tarbell stands preeminent in the school of writers who have turned their pens loose on corporate dishonesty. Dr. Lyman Abbott is regarded as one of the deepest thinkers of America and is one of the greatest of modern editors. The Kansan hopes that this movement to secure public men not of the second or third rank, but from the very leaders themselves, to speak at the University, will meet with even greater success than it has in the past. The campaign to secure a new University hospital is not receiving the attention from Clearance Sale of Books These Books and Prices May Interest You Rosintingel's Reader of German Literature, regular price $1.50 our price 60 cents.

The matter of health is a vital one to every student and can not afford to be passed over lightly. The agitation for a hospital must have the backing of the students or it is doomed to failure from the outset. The plan of the health board to tide over the period until a hospital can be received from the state, is a good one and should be heartily supported by every student. The Kansan cannot help expressing a long loud, Rock! Chalk! Jaykawk! K. U., as it chronicles the glorious victories of the basketball squad on its eastern invasion. The team is playing really classy basketball from start to finish and is displaying pluck and staying powers that the loyal rooters here at home can well be proud of. With the season's series with Missouri alone as victories, the team would be a grand success, but it is not stopping there but is sending one squad after another down to defeat without a halt in the performance. The basketball boys certainly deserve all the praise they are receiving for the splendid games they have been playing. A nice line of high grade tobacco at Vic's.

ONLY TWO MEALS EACH DAY Eat Less Meat and Be Happy Says Dr. Chittenden. Professor Russell H. Chittenden, director of the Scientific school of Yale, delivered the annual Sigma Xi lecture to a large audience in Fraser Hall, Monday evening. The lecture was on "Some New View Points in Nutrition" and was technical. Dr. Chittenden was introduced by Professor E. Haworth. In his address in chapel in the morning Professor Chittenden told about economy in nutrition in its bearing on personal health and efficiency. He suggests that less food be taken at breakfast and lunch by those people who are unwilling to dispense with one meal entirely.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEBRUARY 22, 1908. KANSAS WON FROM NEBRASKA JAYHAWKERS TAKE FIRST GAME OF SERIES. Score of Game Was 28 to 26— Won From Ames but Lost to DesMoines. Captain McCune's victorious basket ball squad dropped into Lincoln last night and defeated Nebraska University in the first game of the series by the close score of 28 to 26. The Jayhawkers played a great game and won on their merits. McCune and Billy Miller were again the stars. Woodward also did great work in free throwing, clearly showing superiority over Walsh of Nebraska. Tonight the same teams meet again in Lincoln. If the Jayhawkers can again humble the Cornhuskers they will have a claim to the college championship of the Missouri valley. Thursday evening the Kansas squad defeated the Ames Aggies, at Ames, Iowa, by the score of 53 to 35. Woodward was the star for Kansas making seven free throws out of ten chances and throwing five pretty field goals. Captain Lenberger scored 24 of the 35 points that Ames gathered and was easily the star of the team. Kansas----53. G FT F McCune .4 0 0 W. Miller .5 0 5 Bergen .5 0 2 Wohler .2 0 1 M.

The DesMoines lads have the fastest team in Iowa. Captain McCune's squad was worn out by its long, tiresome trip. The team was also handicapped by the smallness of the court.

NUMBER 38 Prof. J. E. Boodin spoke at the regular Wednesday meeting of the Y. W. C. A. on a girl's education. He believes that schools of higher learning should provide courses for girls which would fit them for their distinctive positions in life even as technical courses are provided for the boys. He maintains that the control of a household with regard to its economic and hygienic welfare requires scientific knowledge as truly as does the construction of a bridge. The University has made a start in its course in domestic science and the wood working, but Prof. J. E. Boodin believes that much more should be undertaken. CHANGES PROPOSED IN ELECTIVE SYSTEM University May Lighten List of Science Requirements by Including Mathematics. At the last faculty meeting the question of revising the present elective system at the University was considered. The idea proposed by the committee is to give the student a broader range of subjects to choose from and still have him take the same amount of required work. The science requirements will probably be lightened by the addition of mathematics and other subjects thus allowing the student more freedom in selecting studies from the required list. Another meeting will be held Monday to discuss the matter. BLAKE HERE NEXT WEEK. Former Head of Electrical School to Speak. Professor L. I. Blake, formerly head of the Electrical School of the University of Kansas, will begin a course of lectures here next Tuesday. He will give three talks of a popular nature and several technical ones to engineers. Professor Blake is working with the Submarine Signal Service Co. of Boston, Massachusetts. Celebrate Founder's Day. The Phi Psis held a Founder's Day banquet at their chapter house Wednesday night to celebrate the thirty-second anniversary of the founding of the Kansas Alpha chapter. Among those present were Profs. M. W. Sterling and C. G. Dunlap, Herbert Bullene, Joseph Ramsey, George Esterley, Robert Garver of Topeka and Maurice Alden of Kansas City. HOWETOLECTURE ON"TRIP AROUND THE WORLD" FEBRUARY 28. Illustrated Address in Chapel Will Be Free—To Be Humorous. Unheralded and unannounced, Ed Howe, the brilliant and eccentric editor of the Atchison Globe, will arrive in Lawrence sometime next Friday, February 28, and at his own expense will deliver his illustrated lecture on his trip around the world in the chapel that evening. Last year Howe chartered a special train to Topeka at his own expense and delivered the lecture to an immense audience in the Auditorium. C.M. Harger tried to get Howe to lecture to the journalism classes, offering to pay his expenses. His answer over the 'phone was: "I don't want to come to talk to a certain class. If you'll let me come at my own expense and deliver a free lecture, I'll bring my lantern man to Lawrence sometime Friday, I don't know when. I want to meet a lot of the students and people. Ed. Howe's book, "Daily tes on a Trip around the Ed. Howe's book, "Daily Notes on a Trip around the World," has been a great seller on account of its quaint humor and human interest. It is the same thing that enables the Globe to overcome all opposition in Atchison. A FRESHMAN TRACK TEAM. Intention Is to Meet Missouri and Nebraska. M. W. Ross, president of the freshman class, has issued a call to all of the boys of the class to meet in chapel at 12:15 Tuesday to plan for a class track team. Coach Hagerman will preside and talk to the boys. He says that there is an abundance of good material in the class and he will urge the boys to get out and practise to make the team to show their loyalty to class and to the University. Challenges will be sent to the track teams of the freshman classes of the Universities of Missouri and Nebraska and it is expected that one if not both of these meets will be arranged. The freshmen will also contest against the high school track team which wins first honors in the annual meet on High School day to be held at the University on May 2. Following the annual struggle between the Manual and Central High Schools of Kansas City, Missouri, to be held the latter part of May the freshmen will go to Kansas City to compete with the successful team. SPRING FOOTBALL PRACTICE. Coach Kennedy Will Set Jayhawkers to Work. "In order to get ready for Oklahoma, Iowa, Washburn and Nebraska in succession, the University of Kansas football men will have to be put through a month of spring practice," said Coach A. W. Kennedy today. The Jayhawkers will be working out a set of new plays drawn up by Kennedy next month on the field north of the gym if the plans laid down by the Kansas coach are carried out. PREPARING FOR BRYAN ADDRESS A Crowd of 2800 Expected to Hear Nebraska Statesman Tomorrow in the "Gym." A large squad of Y. M. C. A. men were employed all day today in making the preparations for the big Bryan meeting which will be held in Robinson gymnasium tomorrow evening. The immense hall has been filled with seats taken from the other buildings on the campus. This is the first time the capacity of the new Gymnasium has been tested and it was found that the full seating capacity is 2500. If all come who have received tickets some will be required to stand as 2800 tickets have been given out. The meeting will begin promptly at 7:30. There will be a song service before the speaking begins led by Holmes and Hagerman. Professor Burdick, W. R. Stubbs and Mr. Bryan will be the only other occupants of the platform. After the song service by the audience, music will be furnished by the University glee club. MANY CONTESTANTS ENTER. Twenty Men to Tryout for Missouri Debate. The preliminaries for the places on the debating team that is to meet Missouri promises to be one of the hardest contests of the year. Already twenty men have entered and the squad has been divided into two divisions of ten men each. Two men will be selected from each squad and these focr men will have a final tryout to select the two debaters. The subject for the debate is the direct primary law. Kansas will have the affirmative in the debate with Missouri. --- The Episcopal students of the University will be entertained by the Ladies' Aid Society at the home of Dr. Geo W. Jones at 1201 Ohio St. on Monday evening from 7:30 to 10 to meet Mr. and Mrs.Baxter. Last JUNIOR PARTY of the Season---March 6. THE KANSAN The official paper of the University of Kansas.

Ed Howe of Atchison will lecture on Palestine in University Hall. WHAT ABOUT STUDENTS DAY? Two years ago a day was set aside as students day at the University. Speakers were chosen by a general election of the students who were to say what they pleased, criticize whom they please and express the student sentiment upon the way things were run in general at the University. The interest taken in the election was great. The men chosen were as near representative of the student body as could be found. Considering the fact that that was the first year the plan had ever been tried here at the University of having students day, it was a great success. Either through lack of interest or lack of somebody to push the matter, nothing was done last year toward having the students speakers in chapel. The Kansan wants to see this feature at the University again. It is a good thing. It brings the faculty closer in touch with the students. It brings the students closer in touch with the University. The faculty gets a chance to express their sentiment on Tuesdays whenever they are in a belligerent mood. The students should have at least one opportunity to express their knocks on the way things are run at the University. The University Council will grant a students day if the students only express their desire and show that they really want such a departure. Ed. Howe's humorous and illustrated lecture on "A Trip Around the World," which will be free to University students, has been ranked with Mark Twain's best productions. The fact that he pays his own expenses, brings his own apparatus, and wants to meet Lawrence and University men should insure him an enthusiastic welcome. The proposed change in the science requirements in the college course is sure to find widespread favor among the student body. At present the majority of them are required to spend many valuable hours of their course in studies other than those which would best prepare them for the work which they want to do. The University of Kansas is practically the last big school in the country to hold its students up to the old iron clad science requirements, and it is time for it to get in line with the more progressive ideas of the elective system. Let the scientists be free to pursue the study of science, but by all means let those whose chosen work lies in other lines be as free to prepare for it as they. The speech of W. J. Bryan tomorrow is to be strictly nonpartisan, and if the committee in charge has its way the speaker of the evening and Coach Hagerman will be the only persons on the platform. It will be interesting to note just how many wily Kansas politicians will succeed in breaking through the lines and securing a prize dear to the heart of politicians from time immemorial—a seat on the platform with the party leader.

Hugh Fisher to Be Editor of Law Publication. The middle Laws held a meeting in Green Hall Thursday and elected the men who will take up the management of the Kansas Lawyer next September. Those chosen were Hugh Fisher, editor, and W. B. Ferguson business manager. The present officers, Paul Jones and F. O. Martin, will direct its publication until their graduation in June. The value of the Lawyer to its subscribers has been materially increased during this school year. Each month an abstract of each of the recent decisions handed down by the Kansas Supreme Court is secured; a statement of the facts of the case is followed by a summary of the decision of the court and the reasons for it. The prompt publication of these decisions makes the Lawyer a useful magazine to the attorneys of the state by furnishing information at least a month before its publication in the advanced sheets of the Pacific Reporter. A recently added department is "Notes on Recent Cases," in which appear critical notes on such decisions of the Supreme Court of this and other states as warrant special notice. Prof. W. U. Moore has had a great deal to do with the improvement of the Lawyer. Miss Augusta Cottlow gave the third recital of the second course of recitals put on by the school of Fine Arts, Thursday night in the chapel to a large audience. Her rendition of selections by Beethoven, Chopin and Liszt were encribed. This is the third time that Miss Cottlow has appeared before a University audience. She is noted for her ability to execute difficult compositions and her work Thursday was remarkable for the ease and skill with which the selections from the masters were rendered. Martindell made the best time in the quarter-mile tryout in Robinson Gymasium Thursday afternoon. Dennis made second time and Priest third. The tryout was against time. --- The Time— Always The Place Lest you forget— Rowlands' Supply Store Where you will find all the Books for the second term of the University.

KANSAS WON CHAMPIONSHIP JAYHAWKERS HAVE MISSOURI VALLEY TITLE. 1908 Record Unequalled-Hard Schedule-Won 18 out of 24 Games. NUMBER 39 The Jayhawker basket ball five, having won seven out of eight games on their trip, returned Sunday morning with a good claim to the Missouri Valley championship. Eighteen out of twenty-four games on a representative schedule went to the Kansas team this winter, the Jayhawkers making 731 points to their opponents 572. Nebraska is the only team that now opposes the Kansas claim, but although the two universities split even on games, Kansas made more points and won both games at Lincoln advertised as settling the Missouri Valley championship. The first games of the season were poorly played, Kansas not having had any experience in the intercollegiate game, but as soon as Forrest Allen began to coach the work of the squad improved one hundred per cent. Billy Miller began his dribbling game which has stamped him as the greatest player in the valley. Captain McCune's goal throwing, Bergen's consistent work at center, and the guarding and accurate goal shooting of M. Miller and Woodward, all combined with unequalled teamwork made the Kansas quintette champions of the Missouri Valley. 1908 Basketball Record. Kansas, 66; Ottawa, 22. Kansas, 33; Ottawa, 39.

ELECT IN SPRING ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION CHANGES DATE OF ELECTION To First Tuesday in April—Emile Brunner Chosen to Board for Unexpired Term. At the meeting of the athletic association yesterday the date of the annual election was set for the first Tuesday in April instead of the middle of October as has been the custom in the past. This change has been agitated for some time in order that there could be a strong student representation on the board at the opening of school when the most important questions of the year have to be decided. This change will go into effect immediately and will call for another athletic board election in April. Emile Brunner, a senior in the Law School, was elected to the position on the athletic board made vacant by the death of Urbane Angney. Considerable politics was in evidence at the meeting although there were not a hundred votes cast at the election. Brunner was supported by a strong following and defeated Carl Rouse, the other nominee, for the position by twenty votes. This will make Brunner's second term on the board as he served throughout the years '06-'07. Gifts to Library. Mrs. Thomas Emmet Dewey recently presented the library with a volume of Studies of Literature, the work of the late Thomas Emmet Dewey. Mr. Dewey was a prominent lawyer of the state and a friend of the University. The book was edited by Charles M. Harger of the department of journalism. ED. HOWE DOESN'T GRAFT STUDENTS Wants to Address Students in His Own Way—Doesn't Care for Fame. Ed. Howe, editor of the Atchison Globe and famous in literary circles as editor of "The Story of a Country Town" and "Daily Notes of a Trip Around the World," delivers his free illustrated lecture Friday evening in Chapel. Literary critics give Howe a place among the best American writers today, but Howe doesn't mind that. He does things to suit himself and his way suits other people. He doesn't believe in charging students for lectures, no matter how good the are. His ability to bring out the human interest makes his lectures interesting and takes away the dry, matter-of-fact part that bores an audience. KANSAN ELECTS H. C. WATERS CHOSEN AS EDITOR-IN-CHIEF. Claud Clay to Be Managing Editor and Clinton Kanaga Business Manager. H. C. Waters, a junior in the College, was chosen as editor-in-chief of the Kansan for the ensuing year at the annual election of officers Monday morning. Claud Clay also a junior in the College was elected managing editor; Clinton Kanaga, '11, business manager; and Ralph Harmon, '10, assistant business manager. The new staff will take charge of the publication of the Kansan beginning with next Wednesday's issue. The new editor, Mr. Waters is one of the most experienced newspaper men in the University. He is a member of the Sig Alph fraternity and was on the sophomore debating squad last year that defeated the '10 team. He is a member of the University Press club and has been doing active work on the Kansan for two years. He is well fitted in every respect for his new position. Claud Clay, the new managing editor, is a member of the German club. He has done considerable newspaper work since coming to the University and is also a member of the University Press club. He has earned his place as managing editor by two years of excellent work on the Kansan. Clinton Kanaga, the new business manager is a Lawrence boy and is the first freshman to hold such a responsible position on the Kansan. He has done a great deal of work in the business department of the paper and has made an extremely capable assistant manager during the present winter. KANSANS TRY FOR TIGER DEBATE Preliminary Workout Exciting 23 Men Talk on Primary Bill Final Tryout Monday. The preliminary tryouts for the Missouri debate were held Monday night to select eight men to compete in the final tryout next Monday evening. Two sections and two sets of judges were necessary to accommodate the twenty-three contestants. The four successful men of each division are: first place, Brinkerhoff and Hull; second, Waters and Tyler; third, Harbeson and Stryker; fourth, Siminger and Ise. This was the most exciting contest of the season and all the phases of the primary law were brought out. Two men will be selected next Monday night to represent Kansas on the forum with the Tigers. 3,000 HEARD BRYAN SPEAK GYMNASIUM CROWDED WITH MEN SUNDAY EVENING. Bryan Raps Views of Modern Science—New Y. M. C.A. Building Project Explained. Three thousand men from the University and the city gathered in Robinson gymnasium Sunday evening to hear Hon. William J. Bryan deliver his address, "The Prince of Peace." More than an hour before the time announced for the service to begin men lined up before the building. When the doors were opened at 6:45 the seats were rapidly filled and standing room was at a premium. The meeting began with a gospel song service conducted by Professor C. E. Hubach and H. H. Holmes, secretary of the Lawrence Y.M.C.A.J.P. Hagerman, secretary of the University Association, in a brief speech forcefully stated the need and hopes for a $75,000 building for the organization. Mr. Bryan was greeted with great applause when he came upon the platform at 8:30, accompanied by Col. W. A. Harris, Professor W. L. Burdick, representing the University, and W. R. Stubbs, president of the Lawrence Y. M. C. A., who introduced Mr. Bryan as a man standing for the highest type of Christian manhood. After a few words of appreciation of the reception given him Mr. Bryan opened his address, "The Prince of Peace," a discussion of liberalism and skepticism in religion. He ridiculed the theories of modern science in regard to evolution and the theory of creation. There was some humor, some satire, and much good reasoning and splendid oratory, but as a whole the lecture failed to come up to the standards expected by a University audience. The meeting was the biggest of its kind ever held in Lawrence and the Y. M. C. A. deserves credit for its success. After his address Byran talked to the Good Government club.

A movement was started Sunday evening at the joint Y. M. C. A. meeting in the gymnasium to fill a long felt want at the University—an Association Building. The Y. M. C. A. is doing a splendid work among the students. It fills a place the churches cannot fill and reaches the students as no other religious organization can do. The new building would make a common meeting place for the students and would go a long way towards arousing the right kind of sentiment and feeling among them. It is a movement that not only the University should be interested in or even the city of Lawrence but one that means a great deal to every man and woman of the State of Kansas. Such a building as Secretary Hagerman proposes to secure here at the University a home for the students to cost $75,000, is needed badly and the association workers should receive the heartiest cooperation of every student of the University in the campaign to be waged over the State to secure the funds necessary for the erection of such a building. The action taken by the athletic association yesterday in changing the date of the annual election of the athletic board was a wise one. It will insure a strong student representation on the board when some of the most important problems of the athletic year have to be met. The change had been agitated for some time and went through unanimously because of the general feeling among the students that it would be for the best interests of athletics at the University. The masterly address of William Jennings Bryan in the "The Bachelor's Guide to Matrimony" "The man who tells his wife all he knows does not know much." "Don't go to her on your knees,go in your automobile." Illustrated by Harrison Fisher. Something new and to the point, The above are only two of the little kinklets. There are more and better ones. Sold at the University Book Store gymnasium Sunday has aroused a great deal of criticism, favorable and unfavorable, among the university body. All unite in calling it a wonderful piece of oratory and in calling Bryan the greatest of modern orators. But some points in the substance of his speech have produced much discussion. His aims and sincerity and the whole heartedness of the address reflected well the high ideals and purposes of the man. It was extremely unfortunate, however, that he should take up a line of argument so unfair to the evolutionary theory and the evolutionists. This tendency to ridicule much of modern science, weakened an otherwise masterly address. Professor W.L. Burdick spoke on the "Kingdom of Literature" at the fourth annual banguet of the Kansas Authors' club in Topeka last week.

GLEE CLUB STOPS PANIC. Smoke in Olathe Opera House Causes Alarm. Besides making a distinctive hit in the music line at Olathe last Saturday night, the Glee club boys stopped a stampede caused by a fire alarm. The K. U. singers gave their concert in the town opera house. The program was half finished when the hall became filled with smoke. Men grew restless, women became almost hysterical and the whole audience was ready to make one big bolt for the door. Snattinger, the Glee club's robust tenor, got busy about that time and learned from the stage manager that the smoke was coming from the store below where some paper was being burned. Just as the crowd was about to stampede in a mad rush for safety the Glee boys announced the source of the smoke and reassured the panic stricken audience. The program was continued as if nothing had happened. Graduate Club Entertained. The Graduate club made their February meeting a Washington's birthday program. Misses Dart and Hedger and Mr. Gift entertained the club at 1317 Ohio street, February 22. About half the members of the graduate school were present, and a very enjoyable evening was spent. The unique feature of the evening was the use of pictures to illustrate events in the career of Washington. Mrs. Chambers gave an interesting reading, refreshments were served, and the meeting closed with songs. Newton C. Campbell, of the Senior Law class went to Barlesville, Oklahoma, yesterday to appear as a witness in a damage suit to be tried there.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEBRUARY 29, 1908. NUMBER 40 BASE BALL AT KANSAS STARTS SOON—BAT WIELDERS GET BUSY. Schedule Being Made.—McCook Remodeled.—Jayhawkers Go after Title. With the opening game of the base ball season only four weeks off, the Jayhawker ball tossers are practicing daily in Robinson Gymnasium under the direction of Coach Dick Kaufman and Captain Ben Young. The first game that the Kansans will play this season will be with the Leavenworth league team in the last week in March. The college season opens the first week of April when the Ottawa Baptists appear on McCook. Before the season opens thirty-four loads of sand will be put on McCook and the pitcher's box will be elevated. The diamond will be made as good as possible. The big games on McCook this year will be with Missouri, Nebraska, Washington, St. Marys and Manhattan. The team will make an extensive eastern trip, playing all the teams that come to Lawrence and besides, if plans do not fail, invading Illinois and Indiana. It will be the hardest trip ever undertaken by a Kansas base ball team. There are plenty of candidates trying out for all the vacant places on the team. Captain Ben Young will again play first; Huff, Rockefeller, Coleman, Dimond and Cook are trying out for catcher; Michaels, Rose, Gibbs and Val Adams for second; Haughey Angney and Woods for third; Jennings and Shelley for short; and Hoffman, Carlson, Huff, Dimond, Harvey, Dennis, Henderson and Doubleday for the three field positions. Harlan, Hoffman, Stephenson, Brown and Taylor will make a great pitching staff. "The team this year will be a better fielding, and a better hitting team that last year's aggregation," said Coach Dick Kaufman yesterday. "It means another Missouri Valley championship for K.U." SUMMER WORK AT K. C. University Medical School to Offer Six Weeks Course. At the board of regents meeting Wednesday a course of clinical pathology was authorized to be established for the summer at the University Medical School at Kansas City. This course is to run six weeks and will correspond closely with the summer work carried on at the University. It is the first summer course to be offered at the medical school. OPEN NEXT WEEK PAINTINGS FOR ANNUAL EXHIBITION ARE BEING HUNG. Many Valuable Pictures in Collection Several Local Artists Will Exhibit Paintings. The paintings for the annual exhibition of the School of Fine Arts, which opens March 4, are now being hung in the Museum building. The collection consists of 133 pictures and is the largest ever brought to the University. The first floor of the Museum has been wired for electric lights, divided into apartments in which the exhibit will be placed. "We are in a position to entertain our visitors better than ever before," said Professor W. A. Griffith. "We have placed the collection on the first floor, making it easier to reach than formerly." The paintings have been on exhibition at the University of Nebraska and at Kansas City for the past six weeks and everywhere have received the highest praise. Many of the pictures are worth several thousand dollars apiece and the exhibition as a whole will be the most valuable ever shown here at the University. Lectures on different phases of art will be given from time to time while the paintings are exhibited here. Miss Claire Hageman and Minnehaha Stearns, students of the Fine Arts School, who have been doing superior work this year, will have the honor of showing two pictures in the exhibition. Professor Griffith will show six of his own paintings. HOWE LECTURED TO BIG CROWD Atchison Editor's Illustrated Lecture Drew Immense Crowd.— Many Turned Away. E. W. Howe, editor of the Atchison Globe, delivered his illustrated lecture on his trip around the world to all the people that could be crowded into the chapel. In spite of the basket ball game and the sophomore dance, the chapel was full before eight o'clock and many people were turned away. The lecture was a story of incidents on the trip of the author of "Notes on a Trip Around the World." The colored slides were excellently selected from a point of interest. Howe told many amusing stories in connection with the illustrations. The flower parade of the Atchison Corn Carnival was shown by moving pictures at the close of the lecture. Prof. R. A. Schwegler is in Holton today lecturing before the Jackson County Teachers Association. THE REGENTS GRANT DEGREES TO THOSE WHO FINISHED WITH FIRST TERM. Leave of Absence Given to Several Professors—Prof. Ashton to Study in Europe. The board of regents held an important meeting Wednesday to grant degrees to those who had completed their four years of work here at the end of the first term. Two LL.B degrees were conferred, three Bachelor of Science, six Bachelor of Art and one Master of Art. Those receiving the degrees were: Bachelor of Laws—Leo Gibbons, Samuel James McWilliams; Bachelor of Science—David C. McConnaughty, Wilfred F. Wheeler, Paul J. Neff; Master of Arts—Nora Belle Gentry; Bachelor of Arts—G. Bailey Bohannon, Samuel Ebb Crumb, Mattie Kent, Eugenia McDaniel, Wallace E. Pratt, Neva H. Funk. Teachers' diplomas were awarded to H. J.

Stimpson, September 1, 1908, to September 1, 1909; Prof. S.L. Whitcomb, February to June, 1909. Prof. C. H. Ashton will go to Germany for study in the University of Munich. He will be accompanied by Mrs. Ashton, who will take a course in vocal music from some German master. Prof. E. F. Stimpson plans to leave Lawrence in June after Commencement exercises and take a course in Physics in some eastern university during the summer and the next school year. Prof. S. L. Whitcomb will go to some eastern university for study and research at the beginning of the second term of the next school year. The regents appointed Leslie A. Kenoyer fellow in botany to continue the work of Frank Agrelius, who left Tuesday to accept an assistant professorship in the University of Missouri. F. S. JACKSON TO SPEAK. Will Deliver the Annual Alumni Address. Fred S. Jackson attorney-general of Kansas, has been secured to deliver the annual alumni address at the university during commencement week. Mr. Jackson is one of the most prominent of the University graduates gaining considerable fame by his fight to enforce the prohibitory law throughout the state. HOSPITAL PLANS MEDICAL AUTHORITIES ASK STUDENT CO-OPERATION. Hospital Accomodations and Skilled Nurses Under Competent Physician. The University Hospital Association has formed a plan for furnishing hospital accomodations and medical treatment to all students of the University of Kansas next year. A competent physician, who will have a consultation room on the campus and who will visit students who are ill in their rooms will be employed. In case of serious illness, adequate hospital accomodations and trained nurses will be furnished free. The student and faculty committee, as at present, will have control of the association. In order to carry out their plan the medical authorities of the University must have the assurance of 700 students who expect to return next year that they will become members of the association and pay fee of two dollars. The students who have suffered from contagious diseases this year have paid, on the average, about fifty dollars each for medical attendance, medicine and rooms. The new plans will provide for the best medical aid at a comparatively low cost. Cards will be given out next Friday in chapel to get the opinion of the students. FAST TIMES IN TRACK TRYOUT Cooley Runs Mile in 4:51 2-5—Priest, Martindale, McCoy, Dennis, Newbold Take Firsts. Ed Cooley, the star miler, made the record breaking time of 4 minuets 51 2-5 seconds in the tryout for the mile run in the "gym" this afternoon. Considering the fact that it takes 18 laps to make a mile on the gym track this is by far the fastest it has ever been run here indoors, the previous record being 5:05. Guthrie ran second in this race. No times were taken in the other events. Dennis and Newbold took first place in the two heats for the fifty yard dash. Martindale ran a pretty race in the 55-yard high hurdles taking an easy first. McCoy defeated Newbold by a scant yard in the low hurdles. In the gym Priest won a pretty half mile while Dennis took first in the quarter mile tryout. All the events were reeled off in unexpectedly fast time. Parker and Younger both made five feet six in the high jump without a miss. Wenger, Coventry and Peard tried out for the pole vault. The Pi Phis have pledged Miss Pearl Stuckey of Topeka.

OUR LAST SHOT. With this issue, the Kansan is turned over to the new editorial staff elected last Monday. Beginning with next Wednesday they will have full charge and responsibility for the policies of the paper. We have no apologies for the manner the Kansan was run during the time it was entrusted to our tender merciies. We have done our best under the circumstances to get out a paper giving all the news all the time and to be fair to everyone. We have not introduced any startling innovations or have we added any new features that will entitle us to a seat in the Hall of Fame, but we have tried to make the Kansan stand for something in the life of the university. We have tried to make it representative of every phase of the activities of the school and to have it represent fairly the sentiment of the students upon University questions. If we have only succeeded in doing this, we have accomplished all a college paper can be expected to accomplish. It is to be hoped that when the student vote is taken on the hospital plan in chapel next Friday morning, the result will show enthusiastic endorsement of the best scheme that has yet been devised to insure the student against the exigencies of sickness. As measured against the advantages conferred, the cost to the individual member is so small that it ought not to deter anyone from supporting the plan. Twenty men tried out this afternoon for the University track team which is to meet Missouri in Convention Hall. Only twenty men out of an enrollment of more than 2,000! At Missouri two hundred men are reported working daily for the various events in hopes of making the team. Why is there such a striking difference in the number as this? Why do the Tigers show ten times as much interest in track and field athletics as Kansas? We have never beaten Missouri in a track meet and never can until the students support and encourage the team more than they do at present. SIGMA XI ELECTS SEVEN. Kansas iota Chapter Chooses Best Students in Science. The Sigma Xi, the scientific honorary fraternity of the University, at their meeting Thursday evening elected the following men: Everett Copley of Kansas City, Missouri, Harold V. Bozell of Kansas City, Missouri; Harry P. Broderson of Lyndon; Ed. A. White of Independence, Kansas; George S. Weith of LaHarpe; Chester H. Heuser of Ft. Scott; Ebb S. Crumb of Galena.

C.A.girls only,with 150 covers laid will be held in Robinson Gymnasium next Friday. Miss Teressa Wilber, the national secretary will be the guest of honor. A toastmaster will be chosen and toasts on University life will be responded to by representative co-eds. The large membership of the Association makes it possible to hold a banquet limited to members only. NEW CIRCULATION MANAGER. Ralph Cole to Handle Kansan Subscriptions. At an adjourned meeting of the Kansan board this morning, Ralph Cole a freshmen in the college was elected circulation manager for the next year. Mr. Cole is manager of the checkstand and has done considerable work in the circulation department during the winter.

THE NEGLECTED CHILDREN. Judge McCune Told of Them in Chapel Yesterday. Henry L. McCune, judge of the Juvenile Court of Kansas City, Missouri, spoke in chapel Friday morning concerning the neglected children who are brought before him. He believes that the future of this country depends on the raising of the average of citizenship and that to do this the detention home is more useful for many boys than the reform school. Judge McCune mentioned amusing incidents to show how small an idea of religious principles some of the boys possess. A cup of hot coffee at Wiedemann's.

First Year Men Take Missouri Normals into Camp. The K. U. freshmen defeated the Warrensburg Normals here last night in a slow game of basket ball by a score of 27 to 21. At no stage in the game were the normals in the lead. Captain Heizer did good work for the freshmen. Simpson also showed up well at guard. Armstrong did most of the scoring for the visitors. At times the work of the freshmen was classy and good team work was evident. After the city league and class schedules are over the freshman team will take a trip through the state playing most of the leading high school teams. The Missouri Normal game was played in return for the 'varsity game at Warrensburg and the freshmen were placed in the field because the first team had disbanded.
