LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 4, 1908.
NUMBER 41
MEN CHOSEN TO MEET M. U.
COACH HAGERMAN HAS SELECTED 15 MEN.
Men Who go to Convention Hall Will be put on Training Table Friday.
Last Saturday afternoon, in a series of well conducted tryouts, Coach Hagerman picked the men who will go to Kansas City on March 13, to meet Missouri in Convention Hall. There will be eleven events in this indoor meet and fifteen men will make up the squad.
McCoy and Dennis will run the 50 yard; Martindell and Mitchell the high hurdles; McCoy and Mitchell the low hurdles; Dennis and Martindell the quarter; Captain Priest and Allendorfer the half; Cooley and Gutherie the mile; Cummins and Gutherie the two mile; Dennis, Martindell, Priest, Allendorfer, McCoy the relay. Cohn and Stephenson will be the shot putters; Parker and Young the high jumpers; Wenger and Coventry the pole vaulters.
Commencing next Friday evening the fifteen men who go to Convention Hall will go on a training table at the Eldridge House. Coach Hagerman will sit at the head of the table and see that the men keep on diet. The whole track squad is in fairly good condition. Coach Hagerman was more than pleased with the results of the track meet Saturday and the dopesters have already figured that Kansas has a good chance to take 43 of the 85 possible points. The slogan of the track men is "If we don't beat Missouri this year, we never will!"
BRIEF BITS OF TRACK GOSSIP.
BRIEF BITS OF TRACK GOSSIP.
Cohn put the shot 38 feet 2 inches in practice Tuesday.
Stephenson can do 37 feet.
In Wenger and Coventry K. U. has two good pole vaulters Both are new men but they do 10 feet 6 inches consistently.
Cummins, the two miler, will be in good condition for the indoor meet. Andy has always had the endurance, this year he has the speed and the spurt. The other day he did the half mile six seconds faster than he did at any time last year.
Gutherie may cause some surprises in the long distance events. He has the form of Jackson of Missouri and he has done some exceptional work.
Priest, Parker, Young, Cooley and Cummins are the only last year track men who will go against Missouri the 13th.
Missouri reports that there will be only five old Tigers in the meet. It will be a battle of new men.
EXHIBIT OPENED
PUBLIC ADMITTED TO PICTURE SHOW THIS MORNING.
Many Famous Artists Represented—Will Be Exhibited Here Through March.
The annual exhibition of the School of Fine Arts was opened to the public this morning and will continue through March.
The paintings which form the collection have been secured from the foremost American artists and represent the best types of modern art. The exhibition is the most valuable ever brought to the University. It is placed on the first floor of the Museum which has been fitted with an excellent lighting system.
Several noted artists, who were represented in the collection last year, reappear on the list with some interesting work.
Miss Cora A. Parker, instructor in the Fine Arts School of the University fifteen years ago, has three studies, When The Boats Go Out, Grenwich Evening and The April Moon.
Bolton Jones has two paintings in the exhibit, Road to the Village and Spring. Both of these were sold in Lincoln and will be returned as soon as the exhibition is over. F. Luis Mora, whose picture, The Spanish Girl, attracted so much attention last year, is showing The Pirate and The Fortune Teller a brilliant science in Madrid.
Irving E. Couse, who makes a specialty of Indian characters has two studies, the Hunter and The Arrow Maker.
Probably the most intense study of the whole collection is Mass in Brittainy by Lucien Simons. Charles Warren Eaton is represented by Moonlight in Holland which was sold in Lincoln for $1000.
F. M. Benedict, of Lawrence, has six. Professor W. A. Griffith is showing seven, of which The Swimming Hole is decidedly realistic. Miss Claire Hageman and Minnehaha Stearns are showing one each.
Surplus from Banquet Gives Them Money to Burn.
ENGINEERS ARE TO SMOKE.
The engineers of the University will give a smoker in the parlors of the city Y. M. C. A. Thursday evening. A surplus of money from the annual banquet will be used for the evening's entertainment. Speeches by professors and members of the school will be given.

Dr. W. H. Carruth has been appointed by the Douglas county probate court to succeed the late Alfred Whitman as a trustee of the estate of L. H. Perkins.
SPRINGPRACTICE
FOOTBALL SQUAD TO START WORK MARCH 16.
A Heavy Schedule for Next Year Gets Coach Kennedy Busy.
A new feature in K. U. football methods will be started March 16, when the spring practice of the squad begins. Coach Kennedy intends to try out all new men this spring and have his men build up earlier next fall. A special field will be prepared on the golf links where veterans and novices will don the moleskins far in advance of the fall tryout. The practice will continue as long as the men are willing to work. Next year's schedule will probably include the following: Oklahoma, Washington, Washburn, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri.
The place of the Missouri game is still indefinite. Of the others three will be played at home and two away.
The election of a captain to fill the vacancy caused by Angney's death will occur soon. The candidates are "Pat" Crowell and 'Billy" Rice, "Tub" Reed having withdrawn in favor of Crowell.
ORCHESTRA TO NEBRASKA.
To Give Concert There March 11— Nebraska Here March 18.
The K. U. Orchestra will go to Lincoln, Wednesday, March 11 and give their program that night and return next day. Dean Skilton will accompany them as leader. Owing to the expense only twenty-five of the thirty members can go.
The following Wednesday, March 18, Nebraska's Orchestra with twenty-five men will give a return concert.
This will probably be the only trip the Orchestra will make this year.
BANQUETED BY Y. M. C. A.
Basket Ball Champions Given Banquet at Eldridge.
The Uuiversity Y. M. C. A. entertained the basket ball team with a banquet at the Eldridge House Saturday evening. "Uncle Jimmy" Green acted as toastmaster. Speeches were made by Professor J. N. Van der Vries, Manager Lansdon, Coach Hagerman, Captain McCune, and "Billy" Miller. Plates were laid for eighteen men.
Green Bugs Hinder Music.
Green bugs will probably interfere with the usual spring trip of the Mandolin club. Owing to the fact that one of the best members, who can not be replaced, is too busy trying to save the wheat of Kansas to go on the trip, it will probably be abandoned.
TO DEBATE WITH TIGERS
BRINKERHOFF AND TYLER WIN THE HONOR.
---
Hardest Fought Tryout of the Season—Only Debate Held in Lawrence.
In the hardest fought tryout of the season, F. W. Brinkerhoff of Ottawa and Don M. Tyler of Junction City were chosen Monday night to represent Kansas in the annual Missouri-Kansas debate. They will uphold the affirmative of the question, "Resolved, that the candidates for all elective state, district, county and city offices should be nominated by a direct primary held under state regulation." The debate, which will be held here in April, will be the last of the series and the only one held at Lawrence.
Both men selected for the team are experienced debaters. Brinkerhoff stumped the state during the campaigns of '04 and '06 under the direction of the State Republican committee. He is doing special work in the college. Tyler was one of the members of the team that defeated Missouri in debate four years ago. He is a member of the Alpha Tau fraternity and a sophomore engineer.
The tryout Monday night was of an exceptionally high class and some of the best speeches of the year were given.
O. C. Hull was chosen alternate. The judges were, Professors O'Leary and Blackmar and Attorney Brownell.
TALKED ELIGIBILITY RULES.
Professor McClung Thinks Athletes Should Be Students.
Professor C. E. McClung, chairman of the eligibility committee, spoke to a large audience of students and members of the faculty Monday afternoon on "The Missouri Valley Conference Eligibility Rules." He gave as the purpose of eligibility rules, that they were essential to the preservation of athletics. He said further: "A representative team should represent the best phases of college life and this can only be done by enforcing amateur and scholarship requirements."
W. G. West to Become a Benedict
Announcement of the marriage of Maude E. Simpson to William G. West on February 26 at McPherson, Kansas, has been made. Mr. West was a member of the graduating class of 1906 and was one of the assistants in the library during several school years.
Seth Wells of Erie visited with his son Don Tuesday evening.

KANSAN IS NOW IN NEW
HANDS.
This is the initial number of the Kansan under the newly elected management. The new editors of the paper have no rosy promises to make, nor do they ever intend to have any apologies to offer. Under the last two managements the Kansan has made wonderful strides towards the goal of perfection as a university newspaper. If the new management can maintain the present standard of the paper it will consider it has done its duty, but any opportunity for further improvement will not be neglected. The Kansan should grow with the University and if it is found feasible to increase the size of the paper or the frequency of issue it will be done.
With a full share of confidence, but somewhat handicapped, the new management takes from now on the responsibility of giving to subscribers a live paper—handicapped because all the old men of the Kansan staff are gone. There are Roberts, Young, Hovey, Dodge, all seniors, who have been identified with the paper since its birth who are now off the board. The present staff is mostly made up of underclassmen.
The Kansan asks only one thing and that is that it be judged by newspaper standards. It is such a common thing to judge university publications by some academic standard. All the Kansan wishes to do is publish the news, all the news and in such a form as the ordinary reader wishes. Scientific treatises or literary essays have no place in its columns. It should endeavor also to give a true expression of student opinions in its editorials. Confident of the continued good will of the faculty and students of the University during the coming year the Kansan expects to grow and prosper.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Some of the most pleasing social functions of the year have been given by the University Y. M. C. A. The banquets for football and basket ball men, and the numerous other entertainments given each season have shown that organization to be thoroughly wide awake.
The Kansan has several times mentioned the fact that the student body would like to have a students' day in chapel when two or three students elected by all the students could make speeches. The plan was tried two years ago with great success. Why not make it an annual affair? It is in the hands of the chapel committee to make the first move. Gentlemen of the committee, it is time to speak.
Considering what a tame affair the last athletic election was it is only just and fair that the athletic association should hold another election this year.
Friday morning in chapel the students will be asked either to approve or disapprove of the plan for a University hospital. The Kansan believes the hospital association should be given hearty support in its efforts to provide adequate hospital facilities. The scheme stands approved by the Chancellor and

The Kansas farmer made little complaint when the green bug deprived him of most of his wheat crop, but now, that it is indirectly interfering with the trip of the Mandolin Club he is sure to complain.

Another invasion into the rightful occupations of man happened this term when twenty-three girls enrolled in the wood work department. If this onward march of femininity keeps up fifty years longer, mere man will have nothing to do but smoke cigarettes, pitch pennies at a crack, and dream of glories that are gone.
At Cincinnati University.
Only one dance a year is permitted at the University of Cincinnati to each of the four college classes, and the other students organizations there usually hold their parties in the college holidays. Ali such affairs have to receive the sanction of the chairman of the Committee on Social Functions to whom request must be made in writing. Chaperons as a rule are chosen from among the wives of members of the Faculty or are mothers of the students. The hours for the parties are from eight-thirty to eleven-thirty.

Selling Aluminum Cooking Utensils is both practical and profitable. Practical because cooking utensils are always in demand and especially if made of Aluminum. Profitable because of the demonstration and the card system used which makes canvassing pleasant work as well as remunerative.

NUMBER 42
THE ANNUAL SOPHOMORE
PARTY IS TO BE HELD ON APRIL 22.
Decision of the Class Makes Prom Annual Affair—The Sophomore-Freshman Debate.
The Sophomore class will give a Prom this year. That much was definitely decided upon at a meeting of the Sophomore class held Thursday. The date selected was April 22. Further than this but few of the details were decided on. While no arrangements were made the affair will in all probability be held in Fraternal Aid Hall.
Two committees to make arrangements for the annual party were appointed by the class president, Carrol Teeters. The invitation committee consists of Dick Kaufman, Judith Connelly, Maurice Roberts, Martha Stough, and Robert Hackman; the decoration committee is: Pearl Emley, Fritz Fairchilds, Blanche Zurcher, Carl Sherman and Milton Bosse.
At the meeting of the sophomore class Thursday a committee was also appointed to make arrangements for the holding of the annual debate between the sophomore and freshmen classes. This is the third time the two classes have debated. The debate takes the place of the annual scrap between the classes. It occurs on the evening before the first of May. The committee is composed of: Rollin Perkins, Edwin Cooley, O'Connor Smith and Lester Disney. This committee will confer with a like committee from the freshman class.
EXHIBIT WELL ATTENDED.
Brought Here by Mid-West Art Circle.
Miss Corbin Entertains.
The attendance of the first week of the art exhibit has been exceptionally good. The lecture course, consisting of several talks by art critics, will be started next week. The pictures are brought here through the Mid-West Art Circle, which consists of three towns, Kansas City, Lincoln and Lawrence. They have been shown in the other two places and when the exhibition closes here, they will be shipped to their various owners.
Dr. Alberta Corbin entertained her friends and many students of the German department at her home at 1108 Ohio street last evening. Dr. Clara Holst, spoke on the ways of the people of Norway. She lived several years in Norway, and graduated from a University there.
VOTED HOSPITAL
STUDENTS FAVOR PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR.
Committee Thinks Outlook is Encouraging For a Definite Organization.
Eight hundred blanks were given out yesterday in chapel to ascertain the student attitude toward the proposed plan of securing a temporary hospital. Three hundred and fifty-seven students voted in favor of the scheme, and thirteen voted against it. The hospital committee has considered this expression, on the part of the student body as favorable to the plan, and will meet next week to make definite arrangements for starting the proposed system next year.
If a hospital organization of 700 hundred students paying a fee of $2.00 can be started, the health board will secure a cottage where all cases of serious illness and contagious diseases can be taken. A special physician for students, and a trained nurse will be employed.

BUSY WEEK FOR DR. ABBOTT.
His Object in Coming Is to Meet Students.
A numbers of social events are being planned in connection with the visit of Lyman Abbott to the University. Both the Y.W. and Y.M.C.A-are planning to hold receptions at which informal talks will be made by the distinguished guest.
Dr. Abbott is desirous of coming into close personal contact with as many of the students as he can meet during his stay here. In addition to attending the student receptions, he will have open hours for personal conferences with any that wish to talk with him.

Coach Hagerman gave his men a thorotryout this afternoon. The vaulters, shot-putters and hurdlers will be able to take care of their events next Friday.
The track team began its final week of training for the Convention Hall meet by going on a training table at the Eldridge House Friday evening. The athletic management is sparing no expense to whip the track men into shape to make a great showing against the Tigers.
Owing to the fact that there are no night trains from Kansas City, the Santa Fe will run a special for the accomodation of K. U. students next Friday night. The train will leave Kansas City at 11:30. At least 200 loyal rooters it is hoped will go to see the great contest. The University band will accompany the team.
ENGINEERS ENTERTAIN.
200 Men Present at Jollification in City Y. M. C. A. Parlors.
Nearly 200 engineers attended the smoker held in the city Y. M.C.A. parlors Thursday evening. Games and songs and a general good time made up the first part of the program. After refreshments were served, the speakers of the evening were introduced in an informal way by Samuel Forter. Carl Ball in a few words stated the object of the meeting.
Dean F. O. Márvin, the last man to speak, made the impressive talk of the evening in which he compared the present panic with that of 1874. Owing to that panic Dean Marvin was thrown out of employment and started teaching for want of something else to do.
"The man who makes a lasting success is the moral man," he said in speaking of character among engineers.
Those who spoke were: Dean F. O. Marvin, Professors H. A. Rice, Chas. I. Corp, J. D. Newton, P. F. Walker, and C. M. Young; Carl Ball, William Caldwell, W. J. Kackley, Ben Hennessey, H. V. Bozell, Harry Gowans, and Dan Anderson.
The Y. M. C. A. will hold their annual membership jollification tonight in Myers Hall.

SOCIAL PACE IS T00 SWIFT
FACULTY COMMITTEE WANTS STUDENT COUNCIL.
Students Will Themselves Regulate Student Enterprises by Honor System.
A plan is now on foot and ready to be launched, which, if sanctioned by the student body, will revolutionize the social practices and fraternity methods in the University. For some time the matter has been under consideration by the faculty committee on student affairs. The committee has examined into conditions at other institutions and has found that the University of Kansas has the most extravagant social habits of any of the large universities.
Among the sweeping changes advocated by the committee are: the closing of all parties at midnight, a decrease in the number of social functions, requiring fraternity pledges to have a certain number of credits in the University before they join a fraternity, the absolute segregation of the sexes in rooming houses and the establishment of the honor system.
The method by which the committee proposes to bring all these changes about is through the election of a student council which shall have absolute charge of the regulation of these student affairs.
"The social life at the University is entirely too strenuous—in fact it is faster here than in any other institution the committee has investigated" said Professor Bryant, a member of the committee, today. "The committee does not intend to attempt to coerce the students to adopt any of these methods. As a matter of fact the establishment of the system depends upon its favorable acceptance by the student body. The reform must come from the students themselves. It is impossible to improve conditions by making faculty rules. The rules must be made by the students themselves."
The establishment of the student council means the eventual establishment of the honor system among the students of the University. Matters pertaining to the discipline of students would then be left in the hands of the students. The system of student government which the committee proposes to establish here is modeled after that in force in the University of Michigan. The committee which has the matter in charge is composed of Professors Van der Vries, Bryant and W.U. Moore.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The engineering school of the University enjoys a more unified social life than any other school on the campus. The good fellowship shown at the smoker in the Y. M. C. A. parlors Thursday evening is worthy of emulation by other schools.
The students are still unanimous in the opinion that it would be an appropriate thing to have a students' speaker day. Of course the faculty cannot be censured for not wanting to be "shown up" and roasted, but even if it does go a little hard the students would like to see the faculty make the sacrifice and let the students talk.
A communication addressed to the Kansan laments the fact that at class parties programs are made out before the dance. True, this practice does have some objections. About the greatest one is that one doesn't get to dance after paying his "six bits" unless he is a live one.
The University is fortunate in securing such a man as Lyman Abbott, doubly fortunate in securing him an entire week. He is one of the most thorough thinkers in the country and the students of the University should make every effort to come in contact with him.
The first track meet of the season comes off in Convention Hall next Friday, with the prospects growing brighter every hour for Kansas. The men are all in excellent condition
for the meet and there are sure to be some surprises. Track men say the balance of victory lies in the hands of the shot putters and with Missouri depending on Branham and a new man to take first and second against two Kansans who are putting the shot 37 and 38 feet, the prospects for Kansas look exceptionally good. The men are now on the training table and the coach is sparing no effort to bring back a victory from Kansas City. It is now up to the students to give the men their full support. If the real old genuine Jayhawker enthusiasm can be aroused next Friday it will go a long ways toward insuring a victory for Kansas.
The proposed plan of sickness insurance being developed by the University health board deserves the hearty support of every loyal student at the University. For the small expense of $2.00 one can save himself a large doctor bill in case of illness. The opportunity of making the plan a success is now before the school. The students should not wait till next year. The University can not not

J. B. CaseTells of the Work of the Trans=Mississippi Congress.
J. B. Case, of Abilene, spoke in chapel Friday about the work done by the Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress of which organization he is the president for this year. By its recommendations the Congress has been instrumental in securing legislation for opening the mouth of the Mississippi and creating the harbors of Galveston and Portland. The federal Reclamation Act was enacted along lines suggested by the Trans-Mississippi Congress. By authority of this law the United States government has loaned approximately $45,000,000 to make arable the waste lands of the west. This money will be gradually returned to the treasury in annual payments by the home builders who occupy the reclaimed land.

Wilber, Miss Wilber, Miss Alice Norris, secretary of the University Y. W. C. A., Miss Caroline Sage, Miss Grace Elmer and Mrs. W. C. Payne responded to toasts. The girls gave several original yells and songs of true college flavor which helped take away the formality of the affair. The tables were decorated with cut flowers, ferns and carnations.
This is the first banquet of the kind given by the Y. W. girls and will probably be made an annual affair.

THE KANSAN.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME IV.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 11, 1908.
K. U. READY FOR TIGERS
--hurdles, 50-yard dash, quarter and two mile. This would put the Kansans in the clear by two points.
TEAM IS IN PINK OF CONDITION FOR CONTEST FRIDAY.
Cohn Puts the Shot 39-4, Coventry and Wenger Vault 10-7. —Band to Accompany Team.
With every man in the best of physical condition and confident of a hard earned victory, the track squad is ready for the Convention Hall meet. The team that meets Missouri Friday night is the best balanced one that ever wore the red and the blue-there are good men in every event.
K
CAPTAIN PRIEST.
The men who go to Kansas City are: Captain Priest, Parker, Young, Cooley, Cummins, Dennis, McCoy, Martindell, Mitchell, Cohn, Stephenson, Wenger, Coventry, Guthrie, Bergen and Allendorfer. Bergen's great work in the halfmile Saturday assures him a place on the team. One of the above named men will not compete with Missouri but just which one will not be in the meet will not be known until Friday.
Coach Hagerman is very hopeful of next Friday's result and Kansas undoubtedly has a splendid chance for victory. Cohn is putting the shot 39 feet 4 inches; Wenger and Coventry do 10 ft. 7 in the vault; Parker has his regular first place in the jump, and Cooley, Cummins, and Guthrie, the long distance trio, are in great shape. A conservative forecast gives the Jayhawkers first in the shot put, pole vault, high jump, low hurdles, half mile and mile; and second in the pole vault, high
But however the meet comes out it will be hard fought and clean. The K. U. band will be there and a special train on the Sante Fe, leaving Lawrence at 2:30, will carry the big bunch of rooters down. The returning train leaves Kansas City at 11:30.
THE MAY MUSIC FESTIVAL
Noted Soloists and Chicago Symphony Orchestra to Be Here
The fifth annual May music festival will be held this year on Friday and Saturday, May 8 and 9, in Robinson gymnasium. The May festival this year will be the occasion of the assembling in Lawrence of some of the best musicians and musical organizations in the United States.
The festival will open May 8, with a song recital by David Bispham, of the Metropolitan Opera House of New York, and one of the famous baritone soloists of the world. At the other two concerts the Chicago Symphony orchestra will be the central attraction. These concerts will contain several violin and violoncello solos and music by a quartet of noted singers. Professor Preyer will play a new concert piece of his own.
On Saturday night there will be a rendition of Gounod's opera "Faust" by a chorus of a hundred voices under the direction of Professor Hubach and Mrs. Lyons.
Freshman Track Team.
Dan Matthews was recently appointed manager of the freshman class track team. Coach Hagerman was present at the meeting and complimented the class on the good material it has among its members. A tryout will be held in three weeks to select men for the team. The freshmen will meet the Nebraska first year men some time this spring at Lincoln.
The Board of Regents will meet at the University next Tuesday and Wednesday. The meeting will be held then in order that the members of the board may have an opportunity to hear Lyman Abbott.
Regents Meet Next Week.
An election for captain of the football team will be held in Manager Lansdon's office next Tuesday. Pat Crowell and "Billy" Rice are the only candidates for the place. The wen who voted in the last election are eligible for this one.

FAVORS A STUDENTS DAY
CHANCELLOR THINKS IT WILL BE A GOOD THING.
If Students Will Take Interest in It, They Will Be Given Chance to Talk.
Two years ago a students' program was given in chapel at the last of the spring term. Three students chosen by popular vote from the College, the Engineering and Law Schools, gave talks on subjects concerning student affairs. Last year the same plan was proposed, but nothing was accomplished.
This year the sentiment of many students is in favor of the day. The faculty is also in favor of the idea, and it now remains with the committee in charge to take some action on the matter.
In speaking of the matter Chancellor Strong said: "I think it would be a good thing if the students really desired it and would take interest in a serious discussion of University matters from the students' standpoint. It would probably be well to have such a discussion at the last chapel of the year and have the student musical organizations take part in the meeting so that it might be entirely a student affair. The main point seems to me to be whether the student body as a whole takes enough interest in such matters to make it really valuable."
K. U. Girl Writes Book.
A catchy little book entitled "Class Night and Commencement Plays" has just been published by Miss H. Rea Woodman, '01. The book which is said to be exceedingly clever, contains three farces, "The Sweet Girl Graduate," "The Professor," and "She Organized a Club." Miss Woodman is now in Washington, D.C.
Y. M. C. A. Holds Jollification.
About one hundred and fifty Y. M. C. A. boys met Saturday evening in Myers Hall for their annual jollification. No special program was given, but a number of college songs were sung and a jolley good time was had.

FRESHMEN LOSE AT EMPORIA.
First Year Men Play Close Game with Mixed Team.
The freshman basket ball quintet was defeated at Emporia Saturday night by a mixed team of Normal freshmen and second team men. The score was 28-26. In the first half, the embryo teachers ran away with the score, making 17 points while their opponents were getting 5. In the last half, the K. U. men took a brace and tied the score. The Normal boys won the two points which gave them the game.
Lyman Abbott's Tour.
Dr. Lyman Abbott, who will lecture at the University next week, is now in Oklahoma, investigating conditions in the new state. On Friday he will speak at the State Normal in Emporia, and on Saturday at Hutchinson. At Iowa College, where Dr. Abbott spoke last week, the college speaks in terms of high praise of the lectures given there, and says: "From no one has Grinnell ever received a greater mental and, we think, spiritual stimulus, than from the visit of Lyman Abbott during the last few days."
A Tryout for Kansan Board.
Commencing with Saturday's issue of the Kansan there will be an open contest to fill three vacancies on the Kansan Board. Any student in the University is eligible to enter the contest. It will last for one month, at the end of which time three, or as many candidates as have done satisfactory work,will be elected to a position on the board.
Chemical Society Meets Here.
The Kansas City section of the American Chemical Society will meet at the Chemistry Building next Saturday. Herr Graaf, head chem'st of the Ivory Soap Company, will talk about soap-making.

THE KANSAN FAVORS SOCIAL REFORM.
The proposal of the faculty committee to inaugurate some kind of reform in social practices in the University should meet with the approval of every student in the institution, who has at heart the best interests of the school. Of course the reforms will have to be accomplished by common sense methods such as the committee has proposed in its suggestion to have a student council to supervise the moral regeneration of things. One thing is certain and that is that this University wants no Bakerinian tom-foolery. A state institution is too democratic a place for any iron-clad rules. And besides examples all around the University have demonstrated that it is impossible to legislate morality into incorrigibles. Rules laid down by any authority for the purpose of regulating the personal conduct of men and women would of course be a failure. The improvement of conditions must be left with the students themselves, but there must be a method and an initiative body that will see that the wishes of the majority of students is carried out. The student council would serve as just such a body. Its powers would rest upon the good sense of those who elected it. The majority of students do not approve of holding three parties on three successive nights that last until almost time to begin another day. Just such a thing has occurred once this year and is scheduled to come off again the latter part of April. Students simply keep up with the social pace because it is natural for men and women to try to keep up with their surroundings, and not because they approve of it or are physically,
· EDITORIAL COMMENT.
financially or mentally able to stand the strain.
Next week the students of the University will be given an exceptionally rare chance to hear some of the most prominent men in the United States. The Kansan wishes to congratulate the committee on public speakers for their efforts in securing such men as Lyman Abbott to give a week of his time to this school.
The marvelous rapidity with which Missouri athletes work off flunks just before a contest is something quite beyond the ordinary man's understanding.
With a few more days of the present kind of weather the buds and the birds and the baseball fans will begin to come out.
It will not be long now before the wearing of caps and gowns by the seniors will be a reminder that after all thermometers are not the only things that are graduated and have degrees.

KEMP HAS WIDE RANGE.
Strays Through Field of Art from Theology to Thunder Storms.
Harry Kemp read a number of his poems at an open meeting of the Quill club, Tuesday afternoon. The selections presented a wide range of subject matter from theology to thunder storms. The thought varied from the tragic to the fantastic. Mr. Kemp suggested that modern writers attempted but few personifications, and read a poem to illustrate what might be accomplished in that direction.
Whitcomb a Bird Lover.
Professor S. L. Whitcomb will have an article in the next Graduate Magazine on the "Bird Life of the Campus." Professor Whitcomb is an enthusiastic student of birds and has made some very interesting observations on the campus songsters. A special feature of the paper which will lend much to its attractiveness are the illustrations. They are taken from actual photographs made by Mr. L. N. Flint.

THE KANSAN.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME IV.
KANSAS WON FROM COLORADO
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 14, 1908.
NUMBER 44
FIRST DEBATE WON BY VOTE OF 2 TO 1.
Paul Wall, Ralph Spotts, and M.
O. Locke Defended Income
Tax at Boulder.
In the initial intercollegiate debate of the season, Kansas won from Colorado last Wednesday evening at Boulder, by a vote of two to one. The affirmative, "Resolved, That Congress should pass a national income tax law, all question of constitutionality thereof waived," was defended by Paul Wall, Ralph Spotts, and M. O. Locke. J.W.Barrett, Merritt Perkins and Butler Disman upheld the negative for Colorado.
The debate showed thorough preparation on both sides. Locke made an earnest and animated argument for Kansas. Barrett did good rebuttal work for Colorado.
At the request of the debating council, H. H. Tangeman, K. U.,'00, an attorney in Denver, accompanied the Kansas team to Boulder and rendered valuable aid in looking after its interests. This is the first time that a visiting team has ever won a debate in Boulder. The judges were: Edward H. Costigan and James H. Pershing, lawyers of Denver; and James H. Temple, of Boulder. The second debate will be held at Norman, Oklahoma, April 10th.
CLASSES TO PLAY FOR CUP.
Any Man May Play With His Class Team.

BADGE FOR BRAIN WORKERS.
Faculty Asked to Reward Debaters and Writers.
The Debating Council passed resolutions this week to request the University authorities to award a "K" or some distinctive emblem to all men who make inter-collegiate debate. Professor Higgins is greatly in favor of the proposition and says that he will also ask the authorities to award a similar emblem to all students in Journalistic work meriting such a recognition.
Sopomore Debate Tryout.
The tryout for the debating team of the sophomore class will be held in Fraser Hall, Monday evening, March 30. The question concerning the merits of the proposed change in the elective system has been submitted by the Sophomores to the Freshmen, who will have choice of sides.

CAN NOT AGREE
FACULTY DEBATES CHANGES IN ELECTIVE SYSTEM.
A Plan to Reduce Science and Language Requirements Meets with a Fight.
Three faculty meetings were held this week to consider the changes in the elective system as contained in a report of the committee appointed for that purpose.
The chief features of the new plan are: first, to permit the students to select their courses from a broader field; and second, to prevent excessive concentration in any one department. In detail the plan provides that no student shall elect more than sixty hours work in any group, as foreign languages; that not over forty hours may be taken in any department, and that not over thirty hours may be taken in a second department. The report divides the college curriculum into eight groups, and provides that the candidate for graduation must take his work from at least six of these groups. The faculty members were generally agreed on the above part of the report. A provision of the report that the present requirements of six units in foreign languages be reduced by onehalf and that the same requirements in science be reduced by two-thirds is causing a disagreement. A large number of the faculty members think the reduction too great. The committee is composed of Professors Templin, Becker, Newson, Walker and McClung.
Students Try Long Walk.
J. H. Connelly, A. F. Beal and J. H. Jonte started Friday morning to walk to Kansas City to attend the track meet. At Banner Springs Jonte and Beal fell out of the game and waited for a train. Connelly finished the walk.

KANSAS LOST TO MISSOURI
THE SCORE LAST NIGHT WAS 48 TO 37.
Priest in Half Mile and the Relay Were the Features of the Meet.
K. U. 37. Missouri 48.
That is the story of the fifth annual indoor trackmeet held in Convention Hall last night. The meet was interesting all the way and some thrilling performances were staged. The sensations were Priest's great work in the half, the neck and neck fight between Cummins and Synder, and the Jayhawkers unexpected form in the relay.
K. U. lost the meet because her runners could not deliver the goods. In the seven races Kansas could garner only one first and two seconds for eleven points, while Missouri was hiking away with six firsts and five seconds for forty-five points. The Jayhawkers were, however, the real athletes in the field events, taking first and second in the jump and the vault and getting their five points in the shot put.
At the last moment the Missouri authorities would not let Jackson compete, but the result of the meet was probably not affected thereby. Branham took thirteen points for Missouri, Douglas eleven, and Bowling eight; thirty-two points for three men. The other twelve Tigers had little difficulty in annexing sixteen points.
The real feature of the meet was the relay. In spite of the fact that Douglas and Latshaw, the Missouri quarter milers, were in this event the Jayhawkers won with about ten yards to spare. The work of Young and Dennis was the feature of the relay.
The events:
50 yard dash—Branhan, M., first; Douglass, M., second. :05 3-5.
Running high jump—Parker and Young, K., tied for first and second. 5 ft. 8 in.
One mile run—Cleland, M., first; Cooley, K., second. 4:39 2-5.
55 yard high hurdles—Bowling, M., first; Dumas, M., second. :07 2-5.
16 pound shot—Cohn, K., first; Branhan, M., second. 36 feet 3 inches.
440 yard run—Douglass, M., first; Latshaw, M., second. :52 4-5.
Half mile—Priest, K., first; Douglass, M., second. 2:04 1-5.
Pole vault—Wenger and Coventry, K., tied for first and second. 9 ft. 10 in.
55 yard low hurdles—Branham M., first; Bowling, M., second. :06 2-5.
Two mile—Snyder, M., first; Cummins, K, second. 10:30.
One mile relay—Kansas won. 3:36 4-5, with Bergen, Young, Dennis and Priest against Douglass, Driver, Sigler and Latshaw of Missouri.

SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1908.
TO REWARD DEBATERS AND NEWSPAPER MEN.
The Kansan would like to see the faculty adopt the rule of rewarding debaters and students who do sufficient journalistic work in the University. The athlete receives his "K", and he is entitled to recognition at the hands of the institution to which he gives so much gratuitous service; the incessant grind is rewarded by membership in an honorary fraternity, and he deserves that too, for the good things that comes his way are few and far between, and are seldom coveted by his fellows.
But there is one class of university students who never taste the flattery of reward. The debaters and newspaper men of the university belong to this group. As far as work is concerned most of them would trade places with the athletes. So far glory is concerned the athlete's is a thousand times more dazzling than his own, but he has always been content to work and wait, and now and then to flunk.
And now a plan is to be proposed by which these unknown, unhonored and unrewarded students will get something that is coming to them. The Kansan hopes to see faculty take some serious action in regard to the matter.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The debaters who by long and hard work won the first victory that Kansas has ever won over Colorado in debate deserve to be congratulated. While victory is probably its own greatest reward, it will not be out of place for faculty and students to let these men know that their efforts for the University are appreciated.
The Daily Nebraskan says that students in the University of Nebraska are excusing themselves for flunking by saying everyone else in school flunked. According to reports it has become a popular fad in the Nebraska institution to flunk.
The old totem pole, which is
now buried in rubbish in the basement of Fraser Hall, would not only make an interesting relic if placed on the campus, but would be an every day witness of the spirit of the old University days. If it is unadvisable to put it on the campus, it should be given a spot in the Museum. At least it should be rescued from its present obscurity.
Dr. Lyman Abbott, America's greatest theologian and one of its greatest orators, will be at the University all next week. With this and the famous art collection now on display, and the noted musicians that are to soon be here Kansas University appears to be getting a few of the good things that belong to it.
Kansas came out strong last night on the field events but in nearly all the running events Kansas came out a little short. It never was in the province of a Jayhawker to run—from a Missourian.
One of the latest innovations in the work of improving social conditions in the University of Michigan is the establishment of a students' court where all students who transgress city ordinances are tried for their offences. Considering the effective work of the Lawrence police court there is no necessity for such a court here unless it be to handle the extra rush of business that seems to be going on at present.

CURIOUS TOTEM POLE.
Memorial of Class of '93 Now in Rubbish Heap.
CHOOSING BEST PICTURES.
Buried in a heap of rubbish in the basement of Fraser Hall is a totem pole, the memorial of the class of 1893. The pole is a curious looking thing and was carved here at that time by Alexander Shaw. It has various characters on it which represent phases of school life. It was placed on the campus with due ceremony at the class day program in 1893. It remained standing several years and was finally shot down by students holding a celebration.
Critics Show Varied Tastes in Selecting Favorites in Exhibit.
The critics at the art exhibit are beginning to pick their favorite pictures. The range of choice is wide and many studies have been selected as the best.
Lucien Simon's "Mass in Brittany" is attracting a great deal of attention. "The Swimming Hole" by Prof. W. A. Griffith, "In the Mountains of East Tennessee" by E. L. Henry, and "Was It For the Best" by Harry Roseland are some of those in the favored list.

TO TALK HISTORY
PROFESSOR McLAUGHLIN TO SPEAK FRIDAY.
Teachers from over the State to Be in Lawrence Friday and Saturday.
The fifth annual conference of teachers of high schools and academies affiliated with the University of Kansas will be held in Lawrence Friday and Saturday of this week. Professor Andrew C. McLaughlin, of Chicago University, one of the leading historians of the United States will be in attendance. Friday morning will be given over to a general session of the conference with addresses by Chancellor Strong, Professor Johnson and W. R. Stubbs. The economics and American history conference will be held Friday afternoon. The European history conference, with Professor W. C. Abbott presiding will be held Saturday morning.
The most important and interesting feature of the conference will be a lecture on "Political Parties," delivered Friday evening at 8 p. m. by Professor McLaughlin of Chicago University. Professor McLaughlin is recognized as one of the leading authorities on American political history in the country; he was formerly editor of the American Historical Review, and is the author of "Lewis Cass," of the American Statesmen series. He has done much writing for the leading periodicals of the country. In the February number of the Atlantic Monthly, Professor McLaughlin had an article on "Political Parties in the United States," that has received much favorable comment. The schools of the state will be well represented in the conference.
BOARD OF REGENTS MEETS.
Plans for New Power House Submitted. Contract to Let July 1.
The Board of Regents met at the University Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning with the state architect to look over plans for the power house. The contract will be let July 1, when the funds for the erection of the new buildings are available. The regents hope to have the power house completed in time to furnish light and heat for the new Engineering building.
FOR DR. ABBOTT
ROUND OF ENTERTAINMENTS FOR DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.
Faculty Members and Organizations Entertain Lecturer— Many Hear Talks.
Since his arrival at the University of Kansas, Dr. Lyman Abbott, the veteran editor of The Outlook, has been the guest of honor at numerous and varied social functions. Every minute of time that the learned doctor can spare through the week has been taken by persons eager to have the pleasure of entertaining him.
Monday evening he and his daughter, Beatrice, who is accompanying him on his western tour, were entertained at dinner by the Theta sorority. Tuesday evening Professor A. T. Walker gave a dinner for Dr. Abbott, at which Professor Charles Knapp of Columbia University and members of the faculty were present. The same evening Miss Abbott and Miss Edith Snow were guests of the Pi Phi sorority Last night Dr. Abbott was given a reception by the Y. M. C. A. in Myers Hall.
This morning Miss Alwina Wilhelmi took Dr. Abbott, Miss Abbott, and Miss Snow in her car to visit Mrs. Governor Robinson. Professor R. K. Duncan gave a luncheon today for Dr. Abbott to meet his brother, Norman and the University regents. This evening the Y.W.C.A.will entertain him and hold an informal reception at the Y.W. house.
Lectures Well Attended.
With the seating capacity of the chapel taxed to its utmost and many people being turned away, Dr. Abbott opened his famous series of lectures Monday afternoon. In a clearly logical manner he outlined the initial talk on "The Message of Paganism." Yesterday he talked on "The Message of Judaism." The course continues through the week.
Prominent Graduate Dies.
H. L. Raymond, graduate of Pharmacy,'86, died at his home yesterday. Mr. Raymond has been a prominent citizen of Lawrence since his graduation and for several years has been a director of the University Alumni Association.

KANSAS MAN GOES TO YALE
PROF. W. C. ABBOTT SECURES BIG POSITION IN EAST.
Will Finish the Present Term at Kansas University.—Has Been Here Six Years.
Professor William Cortez Abbott, who for six years has been at the head of the department of European history in the University of Kansas, next year goes to Yale. Mr. Abbott's resignation was accepted by the board of regents at its meeting today.
The position that Professor Abbott accepts at Yale is one of the best of the kind in the United States. He is one of the three professors who have charge of the history department of the University. His position is equal to that of Geo B. Adams, who recently gave a series of lectures at the University.
Professor Abbott is recognized as an authority on European history and in his six years in the University of Kansas has caused this department to rank as the strongest in the West.
He is a graduate of Wabash College at Crawfordsville, Indiana, from which he received an A. B. and A. M. degree. For three years he was a fellow instructor at Cornell where in recognition of his work he was granted the President White traveling fellowship in history and political science. He spent two years in study abroad, mostly at Oxford, England, where he received the first degree of bachelor of letters granted in history by the English university.
In addition to his teaching and lecturing Professor Abbott has written extensively for The Nation, the English Historical Review and the American Historical Review. He is a member of the American Historical Association and the Kansas Historical society.
Returning to America, Professor Abbott was for two years instructor in European history at the University of Michigan. From there he went to Darmouth in 1899 where he remained until coming to Kansas in 1902.
Professor Abbott will finish the work in his courses of the spring term at the University before leaving for New Haven.
White Talks to Scoopers.
William Allen White talked to the Scoop Club this afternoon on his early experiences as a reporter and about his recent visit in Washington.

EDITORIAL COMMENTS
Yale is to be congratulated; Kansas is looking for consolations. In the loss of Professor Abbott the University loses one of the shining stars of its faculty and Yale secures a man who will take a place there as one of the school's foremost scholars. Under the direction of Professor Abbott the European history department of the University of Kansas has taken a position second to none in the country. Professor Abbott leaves a position that will be hard to fill; he accepts a position he can honor by his occupancy.
The new walks to the gymnasium will much improve the present conditions. On rainy days the narrow planks now used are entirely inadequate.
The study of the classic languages seems to be decaying at Baker. One of the orators at the little college seems to know little of the distinction between meum and tuum. When a coming preacher of the gospel, from a school where the teaching of strict morality is rumored to be its sacred purpose, steals an oration on temperance in order to win a prize from the good religious people who are keeping up his school, it is time to despair of the possibility of ever teaching the coming generation honesty.
With Dr. Lyman Abbott lecturing every day, a few hundred Bible institute visitors around the University, the picture exhibit still in full blast, the meeting of the state teachers association Friday and the visit of Professor McLaughlin, one of the greatest historians in the United States, there ought to be plenty going on to interest the average student.
A New York paper has recently taken trouble to investigate college courtesy as it exists at different institutions. Among the schools where the underclassmen tip the hat to upperclassmen and to the members of
the faculty are: Columbia, Cornell, Princeton, Brown, Yale, Stanford, Pennsylvania, Purdue, Indiana, Colgate, Hobart, and California. Most of the western universities are too democratic for such business, but Nebraska suggests that she might adopt the custom if it was understood that the younger members of the faculty are not to be included.
Testing Flavoring Extracts.
The chemists in the food laboratory are working on the composition of flavoring extracts and vinegar which are common on the market. The result shows that many of these have not yet met the requirements of the pure food law.
Working on Fossils.
The workmen in the Paleontology department are working on the fossils collected three years ago on the John Day river in Oregon. These specimens are known as Merycoidodonts, and when complete will form a valuable series.

Talks to Scoop Club.
H. R. Palmer, assistant city editor of the Kansas City Star, gave an interesting talk on "Newspaper Types" before the Scoop Club Thursday evening at the Sigma Chi course. He told some interesting stories of his experiences as a reporter during the flood times several years ago. Mr. Palmer has been connected with the Star for six years. Mr. L. N. Flint and F. W. Brinkerhoff were guests of the Club.
Greek Statue Injured.
A bronze statue, known as The Discuss Thrower, was received last week by the Greek department. It was seriously damaged in shipping and is being repaired by H. T. Martin of the Paleontology department. As soon as complete it will be placed on exhibition in the Classical Museum.
Prof. and Mrs. H. O. Kruse went to Halstead Friday to attend the golden wedding of Mrs. Kruse's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Kreviel. Three of the Kreviel family have graduated from the University.

Stole the Prize Oration.
Harvey Smith, the Baker university student, who was awarded first place in the prohibition league oratorical contest at McPherson, March 6, has been charged with plagiarism. It was found that he had copied largely after a lecture written and delivered many times by Edwin S. Chapman, and entitled "The Stainless Flag." The charges have been preferred by McPherson College and will probably place him entirely out of the contest.

No Freshman Football Team next Fall.—Conference Track Meet This Spring.
At the meeting of the Athletic Board on March 12, the new eligibility rules, adopted recently in Kansas City by the Missouri Valley conference, were ratified. In the future there will be no freshman football team at the University of Kansas or any conference university, and no conference school shall compete in any kind of athletics unless the contest is held according to conference rules.
More rigid restrictions against professionalism were adopted. In the future, no athlete may be a member of any athletic organization whatever during vacation whether he receives pay or not. Occasional games with the permission of the university authorities are not forbidden providing the team does not have a single professional or semi-professional member. A person bringing complaint against a player may give common rumor as conclusive evidence.
It was voted that Nebraska, Oklahoma, Colorado, Drake, and Iowa Agricultural College be invited to join the conference which already consists of Kansas, Washington, Iowa, and Missouri. A conference track meet will be held this spring in Kansas City if proper accommodations can be secured and otherwise in Des Moines, Iowa.

HAVE NO CAMPUS COURSE
EASTERN COLLEGE MEN IG-NORE CO-EDS ON CAMPUS.
Dr. Abbott Says Western Students Are Most Industrious—Large Crowds Hear Lectures.
"The students in the western schools have a more earnest purpose in pursuing their college course than those of the eastern schools," said Dr. Lyman Abbott Thursday evening while talking to a Kansan reporter. "A great many of the eastern students go to school because their parents make them and for that reason, they do not as a whole make as good students as the western class."
Dr. Abbott is enthusiastic about his trip through the west, and says that political ideas here agree on the large questions with those in the East. He finds the general opinion of the country agreed on Taft and Bryan as the real men in the next presidential race.
"In Cornell and other co-educational schools farther east, the men do not recognize the women in a social way while on the campus. The social life in some ways is quite strict in those schools," said Dr. Abbott in speaking of University life in general.
Remarkable Attendance.
Never before in the history of the University has a man attracted the large crowds that were present at Dr. Abbott's five lectures on "The Christianity of Jesus Christ." Three thousand people listened to the final lecture yesterday afternoon in Robinson Gymnasium. Dr. Abbott will make his last appearance Sunday evening before a union meeting of the various churches in the auditorium of the gymnasium.
JAYHAWKERS WON RELAY.
Kansans Outhandicapped at Kansas City.
The Kansas two mile relay team, composed of Allendorfer, Bergen, Guthrie and Priest, won from the Missouri team in the K. C. A. C. invitation track meet held in Kansas City last night. Dennis, who won third place in the quarter-mile, was the only Jayhawker to win a point in the open events. The handicaps "handicapped" the Kansans so they were able to do nothing. Missouri and Nebraska were in the same boat.
The K. U. Band is making arrangements for a fine concert and party to be given in the Gym April 10th. Watch the Kansan for particulars.
MANDOLIN CLUB
A CROWD OF A THOUSAND HEARD CONCERT.
The Club Made a Long Trip the Season Past and Played before 8000 People.
Before a crowd of over a thousand the University mandolin club gave its first and only concert of the year last night in Fraternal Aid hall. Each number on the program was well received by the audience and several numbers were repeatedly encored. Among the special numbers that received big applause were: a whistling solo, by John lse and club; Banjo King, by Merle Groene; a mandolin solo, by Heim Goldman; and the College Kids, by Hoar and Yeoman.
T. H. BARNARD
DIRECTOR GOLDMAN
The mandolin club this year has been a great success. Under the direction of Heim Goldman and management of Carl Eddy it made the longest trip of any musical organization in the school during the season, playing before over 8000 people. Everywhere it went it received flattering press notices, and financially the trip was a success.
"Tub" Reed Says Laws Are Thirsty for Gore.
TO "TUG" OR NOT TO "TUG."
The old time honored "tug of war" bids fair to be revived. An agitation has been started between the laws and engineers for an old fashioned exhibition between the two schools. Leaders in both schools are discussing meeting, and nothing remains to bring the discussion to an issue but to arrange a date and number of contestants on each side. "Tub" Reed of the Law school said yesterday: "We will be glad to meet the engineers at any time, with any number of men that they name, providing they do not go over our number."
Chancellor Strong said last night he considered that the tug of war between the two schools would be a bad thing, and it is his wish that the agitation be discontinued.
TEACHERS MEET
DISCUSS HISTORY AND ECONOMICS AND HEAR SPEAKERS.
Dr. Lyman Abbott, W.R. Stubbs and Prof. McLaughlin among Noted Men Present.
The fifth annual conference of the high schools and academies affiliated with the University of Kansas opened Friday morning at 11 o'clock with an address of welcome by Chancellor Strong, in which he said the purpose of the University was to become the organized arm of the state in all endeavor. He was followed by the high school visitor, Prof. W. H. Johnson, who spoke on "Some Important High School Problems."
Hon. W. R. Stubbs then spoke on "The Importance of the Study of Economics and Government in Schools," in which he emphasized the importance of the study of these subjects to make upright, patriotic American citizens.
At 1:30 the Economics conference began. Professor Blackmar made a talk in which he showed the importance of the study of economics. Professor Boynton then read an extract from an article telling why economics should be taught in high schools. Then followed a discussion in which R. F. Knight of Wichita, W. J. Reste of Oberlin and others took part.
Prin. J. B. Wilson of Lecompton spoke on "How to Teach Economics in Secondary Schools," after which came a discussion by Professors Cone and Crissman and others.
W. H. Livers of Topeka spoke on "The Time and Place of Economics in the High School Curriculum," which brought up quite a discussion by Supt. R. L. Parker of Olathe and Professor Blackmar.
At 3 o'clock the American History conference, with Professor Crissman presiding, began, in which were discussions and a paper by Professor Bates of the University and Superintendent Oman of Garnett.
Saturday morning the conference in European History began, with Prof. W. C. Abbott presiding, Papers and discussions on "The History Course in the High School" were given by Prin. W. C. McCroskey of Wellington, Prin. F. H. Olney of Lawrence, Prin. H. L. Miller of Topeka, and Prin. R. G. Tavlor of Hiawatha.
Those speaking on "The History Recitation" were I. B. Morgan of Kansas City, Kansas, Prin. C. H. Hepworth of Paola, Kansas, Miss Ann Shire of Kansas City, Missouri, and Prof. Chas. Bissett of Campbell College.
Prof. C, L. Becker of the University read a paper on "The Value of History."

The team that will line up against the Ottawa Baptists next Saturday in the first game of the season is Rockerfeller, catcher; Hoffman and Harlan,pitchers;Captain Young, first; Gibbs, second; Angney third; Jennings, short; Harvey, left; Doubleday, center; and Carlson, right.
The local fans will have a chance to see Nebraska, Missouri, Washington, Baker, Manhattan, Emporia Normals, St. Marys, and Ottawa in action on McCook during the coming season. The dates for all these contests have not yet been settled.
On May 3 the Jayhawkers will leave on their eastern trip, playing two games each with Washington, and Christian Brothers College in St. Louis and with Missouri in Columbia. The team will also make a trip taking in Nebraska, Manhattan, St. Marys and the Emporia Normals.
Manager Lansdon is trying to arrange a game with Baker at Baldwin for May day and it is likely that this contest will be pulled off as in former years.
No More Barn Dances.
At the party last night for the first time the dance known as the barn dance was tried. It is a dance wherein there is a great deal of jumping up and down. There was at one time 115 couples on the floor and as a result Fraternal Aid Hall was shaken to its foundations. In places the window casings were pulled lose from the walls. The manager of the building issued orders that no more "barn" dances would be allowed in the building.
Senior Play Tryout.
The tryout for the selection of the cast of the Senior play will be held Tuesday in Room 8 of Fraser hall. The tryout last week was a failure owing to the lack of a sufficient number of candidates.
Dr. W. L. Burdick went to Herington last night, where he will act as a judge in the TriState oratorical contest.

ELIGIBILITYRULESGONE MAD
It is commonly admitted that eligibility rules are a good thing, but it is possible to carry them so far that outside of being an inconvenience for individuals they become extremely harmful to the University. Two such examples of the apparent reckless enactment and indiscriminate attempt at the enforcement of eligibility rules occurred during the past week. Last night the mandolin club appeared for the first time this year in Lawrence. On the program the names of about half of the members were given and then the phrase "assisted by" and the remainder of the club members' names. This was only a device to evade the rulings of the eligibility committee which would have prevented the appearance of the club had they been enforced. The mandolin club is one of the last strictly student organizations in the University. The leaders say that the concert last night is absolutely the last appearance of the club. The spring trip has been abandoned and next year the club will not be reorganized on account of eligibility rules. When it is considered that the mandolin club is about the only organization in the school that has made a long trip over the state, and has closed the season entirely successful there is some regret felt that the sacred principles of "eligibility" are paramount to every other thing in the University.
Another example that has brought the smile of disgust to a good many people, both students and faculty members, is the baseball rules made at the recent meeting at Emporia. Occasional games may be played with the permission of the University, by athletes during the summer, but if it is even rumored that a professional is on the team with or against which he plays he becomes ineligible. When such palpably unjust rules are made of course it is presumed that no one will have any respect for them. Now where
Dr. Abbott says the men in eastern schools do not recognize the girls in a social way on the campus. Such stories are calculated to make one thankful that he does not live in the East.
else except before the eligibility tribunal is rumor regarded as conclusive proof.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
It seems to be against the wishes of the Chancellor that the Law and Engineering schools engage in a tug of war. The Kansan does not believe that such a thing would be for the best of the University. It would be sure to end in a scrap, and even if it did not such a thing creates a bad impression of the University over the state. Newspapers would be sure to put the tinge of "saffron" on the event and when the next legislature met there would be "nothing doing."

Social Conditions at Iowa College.
At Iowa State College, where the enrollment is more nearly equal to that of the University of Kansas than at any other State institution in the Middle West, social affairs are under strict faculty supervision. Dances must close at or before midnight and chaperones approved by the college authorities must be in attendance. Dances may occur only on Friday or Saturday evening or the evening preceding a holiday. Fraternities are also under faculty control in so far that no freshman may be initiated before the second half year and then only those who have received a grade of 85 or above in each of their first term studies.
A. I. E. E. Organized.
A branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers has been organized at the University. The branch will hold meetings every alternate Thursday, beginning March 26. The proceedings of the A.I.E.E. will be discussed and original papers read by student members. Talks by practical men in the field of electrical engineering will be given. The meetings will be open to all interested in any of the branches of engineering.

Degrees Granted and Plans for Improvements Were Approved.
At a meeting of the Regents Thursday afternoon the A. B. degree was granted to Aute Richards, Rosalia R. Stone, and Harvey M. Tompkins. A special teacher's diploma was given to Mattie Kent. Plans for the new Mechanical Laboratories and Power Plant were submitted by the state architect and approved by the Regents. These building will be erected southwest of the new Engineering building. The committee instructed Manager Lansdon to prepare a new base ball diamond just south of McCook, to be used for class and fraternity games. A cornfield south of the Gymnasium will be put in condition by next fall for lacrosse and tennis. And an 18 ft. dam will be built across the ravine north of the new Engineering building forming a lake with a capacity of 3,000,000 gallons and increasing the fire protection of the University.

LEADERS ARE SUSPENDED
HEIM GOLDMAN AND CARL EDDY OUT OF SCHOOL.
Three Weeks For Playing Five Ineligible Men in Mandolin Concert.
Heim Goldman and C. G. Eddy, the student director and manager of the mandolin club were snspended today from the University for a term of three weeks for a violation of the eligibility rules in the concert given by the club in Fraternal Aid Hall Friday night.
The action suspending the manager and director was taken by the eligibility committee at a meeting yesterday afternoon. At the last appearance of the club Frank Faloon, Jerome Beatty, Charles Hoar, Ridley Pearson and C. E. Thomas were declared ineligible by the committee. They appeared, however, in the concert but were designated as assistants of the club.
Mr. Goldman, speaking of the suspension, said: "We did not play the men as University men and thought by doing this we were abiding by the rules. This is the first semblance of such an offense by the mandolin club, and I believe we have a cleaner record than other organizations in the school."
A member of the committee said in regard to the affair: "If the eligibility rules are to be worth anything they cannot be ignored the way the mandolin club has tried to ignore them. Neither Mr.Eddy nor Mr. Goldman made any effort to get the men in condition for the concert. We have been very lenient with the club during the year and have made all kinds of concessions to help the organization. But if we are to regard eligibility rules we cannot allow heads of organizations to flagrantly violate them."

PRACTISING HARD
BASEBALL DIAMOND A BUSY SCENE EACH EVENING.
Good Material on Team This Spring—Manager Looking for Game Saturday.
With the opening of the baseball season close at hand the Jayhawker aggregation of ballchasers is in excellent condition. Every evening McCook field is the scene of a hotly contested game between the 'Varsity and the Freshmen. The Freshies have a good bunch of players and give Captain Young's squad a run for their money. In the first real game of the season last Saturday afternoon the first year men were taken into the tall uncut by the score of 10 to 0.
This spring the University will be represented by an experienced, consistent, hardhitting team of diamond stars. Captain Young, long-time guardian of the first sack, will run the team. Young is a heady player, a fair hitter and knows the fine points of the game. Hoffman and Harlan are a great pair of slab artists. They are old men on the team, have the speed and the curves, and, better still, the head of successful pitchers. Tom Stephenson has ability and with a little experience is sure to develop into a good man.
Rockerfeller, behind the bat, is a new man on the team. He has a fast wing and can coach a pitcher. Gibbs at second and Haughey Angney at third are also new men. Gibbs comes from Baker and is a steady fielder and a good sticker. Angney can bingle a little himself and his part of the lot will be taken care of so far as fielding is concerned.
Doubleday, Harvey, Carlson and McClellan are a quartet of sure fielders and heavy bat wielders. Doubleday is an old hand at the national game, although this is his first year on the 'Varsity. Carlson made good last year and Harvey and McClelan are the pick of all this year's candidates for the outergardens.
If McCook can be made ready for baseball by Saturday there will probably be a game. Sand has been put on the diamond and it will be slow until a good rain packs down the loose materials.
MET STUDENTS
H. BURTON,ALIAS "THE SWINDLER" HERE LAST WEEK.
He Met University Officials and Students, Dined at Frat Houses and Was A Hale Fellow.
Harry Burton, who for the past week has been the central figure in alleged effort to blackmail the Chicago police department, which involves several of the most prominent ministers of that city was in Lawrence all last week and met several of the prominent University officials and was enrestained at some of the fraternity houses.
He left Lawrence last Thursday evening presumably to go to Chicago. While here he stayed at the city Y. M. C.A. house and spent much of his time among the students. He was arrested Thusday in Lawrence, but was released on recommendation of Secretay Holmes of the Y.M.C.A.
He is accused by the Chicago police of trying to extort $75,000 from them after receiving a large sum of money from the ministers to secure evidence against the department. The Chicago papers gave his real names as Harry Schlinder alais The Swindler. He purported to be gathering information for the "Woman's Research League" of New York while here.
CLASS GAMES THIS WEEK.
Varsity Plays "Old Stars" Saturday Night.
The inter-class basket ball schedule will be played off this week, beginning this afternoon with a game between the Freshmen and Sophomores at four o'clock. The Seniors have no team out.
The final game will be played Saturday afternoon between the winners of the preliminaries. A silver trophy will be awarded the winning team.
What promises to be an interesting event is a game Saturday night between the "varsity" and "Old K. U. Stars." The "old timers" squad will be made up of: Don Alford, Tommy Johnson, "Phog" Allen, Fay Moulton, Leo Crabbs, "Slim" Dennis, and Alpha Brummage. The election of captain for next year's basket ball team will precede this game. Bergen and Woodward are the only candidates.
PAN-HELLENIC TAKES ACTION
DANCE PROGRAMS NOT TO BE MADE IN ADVANCE.
Fraternities Take Initiative in Doing Away with Inconvenient Practice.
If the action taken by the Pan-Hellenic at its meeting held March 22, is ratified by the different fraternities the practice of making out dance programs in advance of the night of the dance will be done away with. A resolution was passed by the Pan-Hellenic pledging each of the fraternities to forbid its men making out any list of dances before the progams are given out at the dance. From the Pan-Hellenic the resolution goes before the fraternities for ratification. Two of the fraternities have passed the resolution unanimously, the remainder have not yet taken action. It has been placed before the sororities and it is expected they will ratify it.
The practice of making out the programs sometimes two or three weeks in advance of the party is one that has grown up in the last two or three years. It is not common in other schools, and has been found to have many inconveniences.
OXFORD'S FAMOUS LIBRARY.
Professor Thomas Tells in Chapel of Bodleian Library.
Professor D. L. Thomas spoke in chapel Tuesday morning about the Bodleian library of the University of Oxford, England. The library contains about three-fourths of a million bound volumes, and it is chiefly notable for the number of valuable manuscripts which it contains. Professor Thomas said that a book could be secured at Oxford in much less time than in other European libraries and that the atmosphere seemed more uplifting than in any great library on the continent.
Walter Ward and Joe Burkholder, of Belleville and Newton respectively, spent Monday and Tuesday at the Sigma Chi house, en route for Sacramento, California.

WHAT ACTION OF THE PAN-HELLENIC MEANS
The action of the Pan-Hellenic council in pledging the fraternities not to make out dance programs before the night of a dance spells more than at a casual glance is apparent. The reasons given for the action were, that it will give those who have not planned a week ahead to attend a certain dance an opportunity of going and at the same time not playing the "wall flower" throughout the evening, and secondly that girls who go with fraternity men will meet other men than those in the one fraternity to which their escort happens to belong. These reasons are all well and good, but the action of the Pan-Hellenic has more significance than these reasons indicate.
It is bound to result in the obliteration of one of the greatest social barriers between those who do and those who do not belong to fraternities. It is a long stride towards the democratization of the student body. Fraternity and non-fraternity men and women mix in the class room, on the campus, in all the university organizations on an equality. No where else in school are the lines of social distinction drawn. But the practice of making out programs in advance has caused these lines to be firmly drawn at social gatherings. And it is not because the fraternity men intend to be "clannish." It is because of the surroundings in which each man is placed. The fraternity man finds his fellow fraternity man making out their programs and he must follow the example or abide the consequences. It is to be hoped that every fraternity and sorority will observe the new rule. There is no place in a Kansas educational institution for the setting up of lines of class distinction. The organization to which a student belongs should count for nothing in his greater relation to his fellow students in the great institution of which his organization is only a small part.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Admission One Dollar.
The business manager of the annual has given positive assurance this year that the price of the publication will not be reduced after it is once fixed. This rule is contrary to the practice of past business managers, but it is a good one. Besides being a great injustice to those who buy the book the manner in which the book was handled last year tends to cheapen the annual of the senior class. The business manager of the annual should have the support of the student body in his effort to correct these faults of past managers.
The Missouri Independent has a long editorial in last issue telling all about "the annual Jayhawker walloping" as the Independent chooses to call it. Their explanation of how they lost the relay at Kansas City is this. "Branham was not in the race, if he had have been we would have won." Last year their explanation of how they lost the relay was, "that Branham was in the race, and that he was not prepared to run the relay, and as a result they lost."

Consistency, thy name is not Missouri.
In reply to an article in the Kansan the Missouri Independent takes occasion to say that athletic eligibility rules are much better enforced at Missouri than at Kansas, all of which goes to show that the mote looks bigger in your own eye than in the eye of your neighbor. It is doubly hard to be accused of having no respect for eligibility rules just after having signed the prize bunch which Kansas helped enact at Emporia a few days ago.

4000 Heard Dr. Abbott's Last Two Sermons.
With the playing of "A Mighty Fortress is our God" by the University orchestra before an audience of 2500 people in Robinson Gymnasium Sunday evening, began the last meeting addressed by Dr. Abbott during his visit to the University. As his text Dr. Abbott read "What doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God." He said that this admonition from the prophet was but a repetition of the instruction of the commandments given through Moses and was in line with the Christian teaching after the time of Christ. "Religion is the life of God in the soul of man," said Dr. Abbott and explained that religion was not theology, ritual or moral conduct. In closing he made a plea for all to live the Christian life as he had portrayed it.
Dr. Lyman Abbott delivered the address at the Sunday afternoon vesper services from the text "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." He said that the fighting of a good fight was more important than success in a battle.

M'LAUGHLIN ON PARTIES.
The Problem Is To Find A Way To Pay Party Expenses.
Professor Andrew C. McLaughlin, of the University of Chicago, delivered a lecture on "Political Parties" to a large audience in Fraser Hall at the Friday evening session of the high school conference. He explained that the framers of the Constitution left out and thus unconsciously turned over to political parties the provisions for the tranference of the will of the people into the mechanism of government which had been created. The party became the government working from the outside which controls the framework which is termed the government of the nation. Professor McLaughlin said that one of the problems for patriotic Americans is to find some means of financing the party government. Under a spoils system the government itself was compelled to finance the party. If honest ways are not found to provide funds for the parties, the political leaders will use dishonest methods as money is essential for the working of the machinery.

'GREATEST CONCERT AND PARTY'
Of th Season, April 10, in Gym.
The K. U. Band will give the greatest "Concert and Party" of the season, in the Gymnasium April 10th.
The concert program will consist of classical music and solos. The concert numbers will be alternated with party numbers; thereby giving the lovers of party a chance to enjoy a firstclass concert and the lovers of concert music to enjoy the fascination of the party. After the concert numbers have been rendered the party will continue.
The band will furnish the party music, which will be a novelty and a treat—something new, which everybody should take advantage of. The band has been a loyal rooter. Come out and root for the band once; it needs the encouragement and assistance of all. Secure your tickets of any of the band boys; only 25 cents.

VOLUME IV.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 28, 1908.
NUMBER 48
FOR STUDENT GOVERNMENT
INITIATIVE TO BE TAKEN BY PAN-HELLENIC.
Faculty Favors the Plan as Only Solution for Many University Problems.
Student representation on all University committees, a student council to which all questions that materially interest the student body will be referred, government by the governed,-such are the promising prospects at Kansas University. The Pan-Hellenic will meet tomorrow to prepare plans for calling a mass meeting of the student body to consider the advisability of student control of student affairs. This condition exists at Michigan and is entirely satisfactory.
Dr. VanderVries, who has been investigating such affairs at other schools, when asked about the proposed movement said that he was glad to see the students take the initiative; that no radical changes were desirable, but that the movement was a good beginning to the gradual working out of this important problem.
The faculty committee in charge of student affairs has been gathering data from colleges and universities throughout the country with a view to getting pointers on these proposed changes. It has been found that Kansas has the most untrammeled control of any University of the West.
Political Pot Begins to Boil.
The political pot will soon boil again. The politicians are already preparing for the Athletic election soon to be held and several men have backing of a caucus recently held for places on the board. Carl Pleasant, Carl Rouse, Milt Miller and Bob Worline have quite a following and are being pushed by friends for the four student memberships on the athletic board.

OPENS FRIDAY
BASEBALL GAME WITH THE EMPORIA NORMALS.
An Inter-Class Track Meet, and Other Athletic Gossip About the University.
Owing to the fact that McCook is not in condition for baseball the opening of the season was changed from today to next Friday. By that time the diamond will be watered and the loose sand will be rolled down and made solid. Friday the Emporia Normals will appear on the local ball field and Saturday the Ottawa Baptists will contest with the Jayhawkers. Today the Freshmen team went to Leavenworth to play a team of soldiers on the Old Soldiers Home grounds.
An Inter-Class Track Meet.
This year there will be an inter-class instead of an interschool track meet. This event is scheduled for April 18, and will be the best meet in Lawrence this spring. All students of the University will be allowed to participate; freshmen, flunkers and all. The use sheet right now gives the freshmen the advantage of any other class. The Kansas-Washington clash will be the only other meet on McCook this spring.
Many Men Practising.
Spring practice in football is proving a success. About eighteen men are out for positions already. Coach Kennedy is sure of having a great line next fall but the back field material has not shown up yet. Dick Waring, who made a K in '05, and Pleasant, who got his K in '06 are both out for the team.
To Organize Tennis Team.
Tom Lee, chairman of the tennis committee, is preparing to conduct tryouts to choose a tennis team to represent the University this spring. Tournaments with other institutions are to be arranged.
A new innovation in athletics is to be tried here in the near future. A class tournament in water polo will be organized as soon as the teams are in shape. The Junior team is already organized.

Students Interested in Chapel.
---
Joseph W. Cochran, of Philadelphia, secretary of the Board of Education of the Presbyterian church, began his address at Friday morning chapel by saying that never before in a large institution had he seen students so interested in chapel exercises that they attended when forced to stand because the room was too small to supply the necessary chairs.
CHANGE IN TEAM
J. M. CHILDRESS TO TAKE CECIL FAY'S PLACE.
Kansas Meets Oklahoma April 10, Missouri April 23, Washburn April 24.
The second inter-collegiate debate of the season will be held at Norman, Oklahoma April 10th, when the Sooners and the Jayhawkers clash on the forum. Kansas will defend the negative of the question, "Resolved that Congress should enact an income tax law," and will be represented by C. C. Merillat and J. M. Childress. Cecil Fay, an original member of the team will not be in the Oklahoma debate and at a meeting of the debating council yesterday, J. M. Childress, chosen alternate at the final preliminary, was appointed to take his place. Mr. McGregor Douglas, A. B.'94, of Oklahoma City, has been requested to accompany the Kansas team to Norman to look after their interests.
The Missouri-Kansas debate the only debate held at Kansas this year, will be held in the chapel on April 23. On April 24 Kansas meets the Washburn team at Topeka.
To Give Debaters a Banquet.
At the meeting of the Debating Council yesterday, a committee was appointed to make arrangements for a banquet the evening of the Missouri debate, in honor of the visiting team, the judges of the debate and the various debating teams of the University. The debating emblems will be presented at this banquet.
Democrats Make Strong Speeches.
With A. A. Mann, president of the Democratic club, in the chair a half dozen of the University political orators had a joint discussion in Green Hall this morning on the subject: "Byranism versus Taftism." The Democrats were represented by R. H. Worline, W. E. Brown, and S. E. Bartlet and Republican views were given by S. S. Lashbrook, O. C. Hull, and E. E. Brookens.

TWO DAYS VACATION
A RECESS OF TWO DAYS TO COME IN APRIL.
An Agitation Which Has Been Going on Finds Favor With Chancellor.
"We have decided to give the students two days spring vacation. It is a long pull from the Christmas holidays to June, and the students deserve a short holiday," said Chancellor Strong to a Kansan reporter today.
The periodical agitation for a spring vacation has been in evidence since the warm days came. The spring holiday was a regular institution at the University prior to the school year of '06-07. But with the postponement of the opening of the school year one week, as has been the case for two years, the spring vacation was necessarily dispensed with, unless school was continued one week longer in June. The two days vacation will be given sometime in April.
INTEREST IN CIVIC QUESTIONS.
There Are 27 Good Government Clubs in United States.
Charles M. Jessup, of New York, multi-millionaire and formerly Wall street banker, now national secretary of the Good Government clubs talked to the men in Fraser Hall Thursday evening on "The Responsibilities of Citizenship." He prefaced his address by an explanation of the scope of University civic clubs and named a list of American statesmen who heartily favored a national federation of such organizations.
The Good Government organization now has twenty-seven clubs in the different schools of the country. In a consideration of the problems to be studied Mr.Jessup mentioned immigration, the relations of labor and capital, and the need of integrity in high places. He paid a high tribute to the men whose strong influence has given the forward impulses to this nation. He urged that the man who is to have power in political affairs by having the grit to hold convictions and the grace to live them must also be worthy in his home and individual business life.

STUDENT CONTROL OF STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS.
At the next meeting of the Pan-Hellenic the matter of organizing a student council for the purpose of initiating a system of student government in the University will be taken up and an effort made to decide on some plan. The Pan-Hellenic is a very fitting organization to take up the question, but before anything definite is done amore representative body of students should take charge of the affair. There are several methods by which a representative student body may be chosen. One scheme suggested is to let the Good Government Club take charge of the arrangements. As this club is a representative organization and is expert in questions of government it seems that it would be a good organization to launch the system. Another plan proposed is to have a meeting of representatives chosen from the different student organizations of the University such as clubs, fraternities, musical and debating organizations, etc. Still another method that may be used is to call a mass meeting of students and have them select a number of representative students who can perfect the organization and make it permanent. Any of the schemes are good ones. It is not so much the method in which the change is brought about as it is a question of having it brought about. If the Pan-Hellenic wants to do something that will really be a service to the school it has a splendid opportunity. The movement will have the enthusiastic support of the faculty and the Kansan believes of the students. Kansas is one of the few state institutions in the country that does not have some kind of student control of student enterprises. Events of the past few weeks have made the time propitious for action. The Kansan hopes to see something decisive at the coming meeting of the Pan-Hellenic.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
It is about time for the politics
ical bee to begin buzzing. Here's hoping for the sake of a scrap that the athletic election in April will not be as tame an affair as the election last fall.
It is with some degree of satisfaction that the Kansan today announces that there will be a spring vacation sometime during the coming month. One thing that makes the Chancellor hesitate in announcing a vacation is because there is a tendency among the students to leave for home a day or two before the vacation begins and not return until after school has been going for some time. It seems only reasonable that when the students are granted a vacation not on the schedule they should make the responsibility of the Chancellor as light as possible by not taking a longer vacation than is granted them.
Why not organize a Gymnastic team in the University? All the state universities, even Missouri, have gym teams that play a prominent part in their athletic affairs. There is an annual contest held between
