A MEETING APRIL 23
THE STUDENTS TO MEET IN MASS TO ORGANIZE.
At Meeting Monday Night a Committee of Ten Was Appointed —Enthusiastic Speeches.
The meeting of students held Monday night was not held to air the personal grievance of any student or students in the University. It was a meeting that was representative of all the student body, called for the purpose of deciding upon some plan of giving the undergraduate student body the power of initiative in University affairs that vitally affect the student body. The meeting was not factional or personal.
Representatives from the different schools, from clubs, fraternities, musical and debating organizations, University publications, athletic organizations and other student enterprises met in the parlors of the Eldridge hotel Monday night and launched a movement looking to the establishment of a central student body in the University to control undergraduate affairs. A mass meeting of all the students of the University was called for April 23, and a committee of ten representative students was appointed to investigate such systems at other schools and make a report to the mass meeting.
The meeting was presided over by Secretary of the Y. M. C.A.Hagerman,and talks were made by Coach Kennedy and many of the students present.
Coach Kennedy told of the marked success of student government at Pennsylvania. The coach said: "There is a very sick man at the University of Kansas and that man is the undergraduate body. The students do not consider seriously enough the problems that they should help solve. The time has come for the undergraduates of the University to assert themselves. If our student activities and undergraduate interests are to reach the greatest success, every student should consider himself duty bound to aid in working out the student problems. The final authority on all student questions should rest with the faculty, but the student body should pass on many of the details that so intimately affect their welfare."
The proposition was discussed at length by a dozen representative students and the sentiment seemed to be unanimous that the time was

SEASON OPENS
PLAY EMPORIA AND OTTAWA
THIS WEEK.
Freshmen Active in Athletics Track Tryout Saturday Win from Leavenworth.
Next Friday afternoon when the first man for the Emporia Normals steps to the home plate the base ball season of 1908 will begin. The Teachers have no championship aggregation and Captain Young's husky band ought to romp away from the first clash with a game in the "won" column.
The Ottawa University nine will be on McCook Saturday afternoon. The Baptists have a fair team this year and the contest ought to be interesting.
The first of May game will probably be played in Ottawa. Manager Lansdon has not been able to induce Baker to meet the Jayhawkers in Baldwin on that day and Ottawa, being easily accessible to the K. U. rooters, is second choice.
Men For Friday and Saturday.
The batteries for the games Friday and Saturday will be Hoffman and Rockerfeller, and Harlan and Rockerfeller. The batting order is Harvey, l. f.; Doubleday, c. f.; Young, 1b; Jennings, s. s.; Carlson, r. f.; Angney, 3b; Gibbs, 2b; Rockerfeller, c; Harlan, Hoffman, or Stephenson, p.
Freshmen Track Tryout.
Saturday afternoon before the Ottawa-K. U. base ball game the Freshmen of the University will hold a track meet on McCook to pick representatives for the inter-class meet on April 18. The Freshmen have some good material and Coach Hagerman expects them to come close to the winners in the class meet.
Chancellor to Make Addresses.
Chancellor Strong will be kept busy this spring making commencement and various other addresses. Friday of this week he is to lecture before the North-east Kansas Teachers Association at Leavenworth. He will go to Lincoln on the 23rd to make an address in the Convocation of the University of Nebraska and also to lecture to the teachers in the public schools there. In May, he delivers the commencement address at the University of New Mexico, and in June he makes the commencement address at Friends University in Wichita.
Sophomores Debate Tryout.
The sophomore class will hold a tryout Monday evening in Fraser Hall to pick a team for the Freshmen-Sophomore debate on May day. Sophomores wishing to tryout will hand their names to Rollin Perkins, Paul Harvey, Edwin Cooley, Lester Disney, or O'Connor Smith.
ART EXHIBIT
HAS BEEN VISITED BY 2805
PEOPLE.
In Spite of the Large Number Who Saw Pictures, Exhibit Will Barely Pay Out.
The art exhibit at the University of Kansas closed Saturday night after being open since March 4th. During the twenty-one days the exhibit was open the pictures were seen by 2805 people. About $550 was taken in which will just about pay all expenses. Six of the best paintings were sold while they were at Lincoln, the University of Nebraska securing the "Canal at Brughes" by Eaton. None of them were sold here. The pictures have been cased and sent away, the majority being sent to New York in a special car.
There has been a start made for the collection next year, several paintings have been secured at Philadelphia.
"The exhibit was a success" said Professor Griffith, "it was a good collection and was well appreciated I think by all who saw the paintings."
Prof. J. D Newton Married.
Prof. J. D. Newton, of the Engineering department was married Saturday, March 28th to Miss Minnie Madaris of Kansas City, Missouri. The marriage ceremony was performed by W.J.Dalton, rector of the Church of the Annunciation. Mr. and Mrs.Newton will be at home after May1st at 713 Rhode Island street. Professor Newton has been for the past two years Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering in the University of Kansas.

Sigma Nus Win First Game.
In the first game of the interfraternity base ball schedule played yesterday afternoon the Sigma Nu team won from the Sigma Chis by the score of 12 to 7. Gossard and Russell were on slab duty for the Sigma Chis with James on the receiving end. Stephenson and Cowell were the batteries for the Sigma Nus. The second game of the series will be played at the driving park in south Lawrence this afternoon between the Phi Psis and the Phi Delts.
WILL HAVE POST OFFICE
SUB-STATION TO BE INSTALLED AT THE UNIVERSITY.
Will Open April 16—Work on Fixtures Begins at Once— No Mail Delivery.
The U. S. Postal Department has issued orders for the establishment of a postoffice at the University of Kansas which will begin operation April 16. It will be known as sub-station number one of the Lawrence postoffice and will be under the supervision of E. B. Cronemeyer, University accountant. G.R. Duer and N.S. Coventry will have charge of the local business.
Stamps, money orders, registered letters, newspaper wrappers and postal cards can be obtained from the new station. It will contain all the features of a regular office with the exception that no mail will be delivered from it. The University authorities tried to get the mail delivery privilege, but the Government refused the request. The work on the necessary equipment will begin at once. The station will be in the Registrar's office, and will be open during school hours.
FRESHMEN WIN LOVING CUP.
Class Basket Ball Tournament Ended in Favor of Freshmen.
In the final game of the class basket ball tournament the freshmen swamped the juniors by a score of 37 to 14. The first half was close, but a spurt by the freshies near the close, gave them the long end, the score standing 19 to 10. The juniors were only able to score four points to their opponent's eighteen in the second half. Long and Moffet were the stars for the freshmen. This game entitles the freshmen to the loving cup and to having their picture placed in the trophy room.
All Stars Win Game.
With the Miller brothers out of the game, the All Stars won from the Varsity at basket ball Saturday night by a score of 45 to 35. Johnson and Allen were the main scorers for the All Stars, while Captain McCune and Bergen made 28 of the Varsity's points, the former caging nine pretty field goals.

THE TRUTH ABOUT STUDENT INITIATIVE
Newspapers over the state, always thirsty for a morsel of sensationalism have colored and distorted the facts in regard to the purpose of the meeting of the students held Monday night. In the columns of lurid journals they have been depicted as a bunch of red handed anarchists. In truth the meeting had nothing of the revolutionary nature in it. Those who attended had no intention of hiring a new faculty or of asking the board of regents for its resignation. It was a crowd of representative students who assembled peacefully to try to formulate some kind of plans for the establishment of student initiative in affairs that concern only the undergraduate body. It is not some novelty that is to be tried in the University of Kansas. It is established in all the surrounding universities. It is the intention to ask the faculty to give to the undergraduate student body only as much power as they will freely surrender, but the students are not going to arm themselves with the weapons of force and demand anything.
And again it has been stated in the press that the meeting was brought about by the expulsion of two students, which of course is a fabrication, pure and simple. At the meeting nothing was said of the suspension affair. The meeting was the result of a long agitation for something of the kind at the University which has met with encouragement from the faculty.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The plan that several University Professors had last fall to build a dormitory seems to have been about as vague a dream as Kansas City's eternal chase after a union depot.
The organization of a substation of the Lawrence postoffice at the University will be of inestimable value to the student body. If the students will only give it their patronage it will be only a matter of time
until the government will see fit to establish a free delivery office in the University.
It has been suggested that the Committee of Ten import a student from one of the Russian universities to preside over the meetings of our First Douma.
The temperance wave has struck the University of Nebraska. At a mass meeting held Friday the students denounced the open saloons and marched down the streets of the business section of the city to show their sentiment. It would be a good thing to close the saloons but if the illegal traffic was carried on as the

A Fire Scare.
A window curtian in the room of Miss Pearl Stuckey and Miss Kate Hart at 1340 Tennessee caught fire last evening by blowing into a gas light. The fire did little damage and was put out before the arrival of the fire wagon and a squad of would-be heroes.

Sigma Chi Dinner and Vaudeville.
The Sigma Chi fraternity gave an eight course dinner at their chapter house at six o'clock last Saturday evening. Covers were laid for sixty guests. Following the banquet occurred the annual vaudeville show which consisted of various stunts by the boys themselves. Jerome Beatty did a keen juggling act and Arthur Gray was strong in marvelous tricks taught him by a real live magician. The house was made into a miniature theater, with stage, orchestra pit, dress circle and all other details that go with a real theater. The out-of-town guests were as follows: Clare Brigham, Iola; Holmes Meade, C. A. Bailey, Gus Koehler, and Misses Hazel Howe, Marian Thompson, Marguerite Mills, Pobert Pierce, Topeka; Frank Woodbury, Ray Clifford, Clarence Atkinson, Lester Scott, and Misses Mildred James, Bolina Burchett, Alice Duncan and Marianne Brooke, Kansas City.

KANSAS WON FIRST GAME
DEFEATED OTTAWA BAPTISTS BY SCORE OF 5 TO 1.
Rockerfeller's Home Run and a Brilliant Stop by Jennings the only Features of Contest.
In spite of poor baseball weather, the Jayhawkers celebrated the opening of the season of 1908 this afternoon when they defeated the Baptists from Ottawa by the score of 5 to 1. The high wind made the day anything but ideal for baseball but nevertheless Captain Young and his stalwarts put up a creditable brand of the national game.
The feature of the contest was a home run by Rockerfeller and a great one-handed stop of a hot liner by Jennings.
Rockerfeller's long swat came in the eighth inning and two men gamboled across the plate in front of him. Hoffman, the local slabist, was in great form and several times with men on bases, he settled down and blanked the men from Ottawa.
The new men on the Jayhawker squad played like veterans.
K. U.:—Harvey, 1f.; Doubleday, cf.; Young, 1b., Jennings, ss.; Carlson, rf.; Angney, 3b.; Gibbs, 2b.; Rockerfeller,c.; Hoffman, p.

Forde Glee Club Manager.
The glee club met Tuesday evening and elected Ed Forde of Emporia manager for next year. The club decided to do away with the position of assistant manager and entrust all cares to Mr. Forde. No librarian will be selected until next fall. Bozell, Teall and Professor Hubach were appointed as a committee to confer with the authorities of the University in regard to giving some emblem to the members of the club in recognition of their services. Another committee composed of Cooper, Snattinger and Thomas was appointed to draft a new constitution for the club.
For the edification of the people who thought they were running to a fire when the Fowler Shops whistle blew today, it may be stated that the signal which has been agreed upon as a fire alarm is a succession of five short blasts.
A SON IS BORN
HEIR TO CHANCELLOR CAME THIS AFTERNOON.
Fowler Shops Whistle Heralds Birth of Newest Student at the University.
An heir to the Chancellorship has been born. If the young chancellor had come to any less distinguished parents than he did, the announcement would have read something like this:
A report came into the Kansan office today noon that the Chancellor had a baby at his home. A Kansan reporter called the Chancellor over the telephone.
"Chancellor and Mrs. Frank Strong are the proud parents of a baby boy, born shortly after noon today. Both baby and mother are getting along nicely."
"Hello, how much does the baby weigh"asked the reporter.
"We don't know yet, we haven't weighed him, but he sure is a Buster," replied the Chancellor with a hearty laugh that lasted for almost a minute.
"What is the baby's name" inquired the reporter out of curiosity.
"Haven't found a name yet. In fact we haven't had much time yet to think about it," said the Chancellor seriously enough, but with an inward chuckle of delight.
At 3:30 o'clock when the report became current on the hill that the Chancellor's heir had arrived the whistle in Fowler Shops was blown to herald the birth of the infant. McCook field was nearly deserted and five hundred people started for the hill, janitors with fire extinguishers came from every direction, but when they found out the occasion of the excitement their worried looks changed to expressions of delight.

WORK STARTS
COMMITTEE OE TEN IS MAKING INQUIRIES ELSEWHERE.
Faculty Committee Refuses to Allow a Vote on Amendment to Constitution.
The committee of ten which was appointed at the meeting of students held last Monday night has begun its work, by sending out a large number of letters to different institutions for the purpose of securing information that may assist in the establishment of some kind of initiative in the University of Kansas. The letters will be sent to the student heads of various organizations in the different schools. A large number will be sent to the editors of University papers.
It is the intention of the committee to gather as much information as is possible from other schools and then talk with faculty members here and try to decide upon some system of student government that will suit conditions as they exist here at the present time. The plan is finding favor with most of the faculty members although there is a general sentiment among faculty members against giving into the students' hands those things which concern the relation of the school to other schools and those things which involve the expenditure of money.
The agitation started a few days ago to make the faculty members of the athletic board elective by the student body appears to have met with defeat, because the faculty refuses to have the matter voted upon.
A member of the committee who was selected to draft an amendment to the constitution said today: "We are up against it I guess. The constitution provides that it may be amended by a vote of the members of the athletic association. All the students are members, but the committee refuses to allow the amendment to be put up for a vote and of course that muzzles us completely."
Sig Alphs Gave House Party.
The Sig Alphs gave an informal dancing party at their chapter house last evening. The music consisting of mandolin and guitar was furnished by Shanty Newhouse. The guests from out of town were: Mrs. Blanche G. Apt and Miss Elizabeth Apt, of Iola; Misses Edith and Minnie Stewart, of Wellington; Misses Margaret Hamilton, Minnie Loewer, Bolina Burchett, of Kansas City, Mo.; W. S. McCoy, of Independence, Mo.; and A. N. Brady, of St. Joseph, Mo.
PUTNAM GOES TO OXFORD
FAMOUS KANSAS ATHLETE WINS SCHOLARSHIP.
George Putnam Was a "Gun" in His Studies and on the Gridiron While Here.
George Putnam, '07, now a graduate student at Yale, was awarded the Rhodes Scholarship from Kansas this week. This scholarship pays fifteen hundred dollars a year and gives the fortunate candidate an opportunity to travel extensively in Europe besides carrying on his work at Oxford.
Putnam was a noted athlete at the University of Kansas. He was one of the best football guards in the Missouri Valley and played on the Kansas team last year, and at the present time holds the University record for the hammer throw. He is also a shot putter and discus thrower of ability.
Besides being an athlete Putnam is a student. He won the Yale scholarship last year for his work in philosophy.
E. W. Murray, now assistant professor of Latin in the University won the first Rhodes scholarship given from Kansas.
Sigma Xi Initiation.
The Sigma Xi society held an initiation Thursday evening for the members elected at the March meeting. The new members are as follows: Everett Copley, Harold Bozell, H. P. Broderson, E. A. White, Chester Heuser, Archie Weith, and Ebb Crumb. Professor R. K. Duncan read a paper on "The Trend of Chemical Inventions." The information for this paper was gained by a study of the patents granted to chemists in the last few years. The investigation showed that the leading chemists are now taking out patents to cover their discoveries.
Phi Gams Take Second Game.
The third game of the interfraternity baseball schedule was pulled off Thursday afternoon between the Phi Gams and Alpha Taus. With "Sprouty" Porter in the box and "Red" Coulter behind the bat the Phi Gams won by the close score of 6 to 5. Burdick did the twirling for the Alpha Taus with Tyler as backstop. The second game of the series between the Phi Delts and Phi Psis was postponed on account of cold weather.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Still the reports are spreading over the state that the students of the University of Kansas are at the point of open rebellion from faculty control and one of the Kansas City papers even characterizes the movement as "Emancipation at Lawrence," and all this because of the unauthorized utterances of an indiscreet student who did not realize that he was talking to a newspaper man who was looking for a yellow story to spread broadcast over the state. Why the Lawrence editor should not have seen J. P. Hagerman or Bert Kennedy or someone at the meeting that had not been mixed up in the mandolin club episode and especially since the movement for student control has been pushed throughout the year by faculty men—these are the things we cannot understand.
The truth is that a committee of the faculty has been in correspondence with other universities all fall and winter and from time to time results of their inquiries have been printed in the Kansan to show the students how social and undergraduate affairs were managed at other institutions. Thus it is easily to be seen that the student movement is not an uprising against the faculty control but rather an awakening to the fact that the faculty does have some powers now which it would rather not have and which ought to be vested in the undergraduate body.
Probably nowhere in the United States has the choice of a Rhodes Scholar been made which is more in accord with the spirit in which the Rhodes
seniorships are given than that of George Putnam, who was this week chosen to represent Kansas at Oxford for the next three years. Putnam's record in the University of Kansas as a scholar, athlete, and worker in student affairs was an ideal one. He was an exceptionally good classical student. In athletics, he holds the Missouri Valley record of 145 feet for the hammer throw, and did exceptional work in one year's service on the football team. He served as a member of the athletic board. In class activities he took a prominent part, and appeared in the senior play. The number of his friends was limited only by the number of the people who knew him. The University is indeed fortunate in having a man of such broad attainments to represent it in the English university.
The question is, which was the freeze the other night more destructive to, the peaches or the spring suits?

NUMBER 51
VOLUME IV.
NEBRASKA ON McCOOK
TRACK MEET CHANGED FROM LINCOLN TO LAWRENCE
Inter-Class Track Meet to be Held April 25.—Jayhawkers Meet Tigers on May 16.
At the desire of Nebraska the K. U.-Nebraska track meet, which was to be held at Lincoln this year, will take place on McCook, May 9. Last year Nebraska was defeated by only one point.
The next track meet of the season is the Freshman meet on April 18. The Inter-class meet has been postponed until April 25. The Jayhawker squad will go to Columbia for a tangle with the Tigers on May 16, and the Missouri Valley Conference meet, in which Kansas, Washington, Ames, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, and Drake will enter teams, at Kansas City, May 23.
If any record breakers are developed this spring they will be sent to Chicago on June 6.
The Inter-class contest will be, in many ways, the best meet in Lawrence this spring. Every member of the student body is eligible for a place in the meet and the fight for first place will be hot between the Seniors, Sophomores and Freshmen. Last year in the interschool meet five records were shattered.
Expected a Holiday Monday.
Miss Pirscher, professor in modern languages in Ottawa University, spoke on "German Supertitions" before the Deutche Verein Monday. The meeting was held at nine o'clock instead of three-thirty because the German department expected that a holiday would be granted after chapel.
Founders' Day and Initiation.
The Chi Omegas gave a Founders' Day Banquet Tuesday evening at their chapter house. Before the banquet initiation was held for Marienne Sapp and Alene Jay.
The out of town guests were Miss Florence Smith of Grainfield and Mrs. Mollison of Smith Center.

Earl C. Woodward, of Glasco, a sophomore in the college was unanimously elected captain of the Jayhawker basket ball team for the coming year. Ralph Bergen, of Wichita, was the only other candidate and after three ballots, he withdrew in favor of Woodward. Woodward has played guard on the Kansas five for the past two years and is well known for his steady aggressive style of play. His consistent free throwing and goal shooting has won many games for the team this season.

TOPENSIONPROFS
Andrew Carnegie No Longer to Discriminate Against State University Professors.
In the first endowment that Mr. Carnegie set aside he made no provision for state university professors as they were public employees and the gift might not be acceptable to them. But the National Association of State Universities asked him to give them a share in the fund with the result that he added another five millions.
Professors in state universities who are eligible may in the future receive a pension at the hands of Andrew Carnegie. A fund of $5,000,000 has been set aside by Mr.Carnegie to be added to the fund which he already has for the purpose of pensioning college professors. Professors of state universities are to be the exclusive participants in this fund.

Thirty-nine Prizes and Sixteen Loving Cups to Be Given by the University.
The fifth annual interscholastic track and field meet of the Kansas high schools accredited by the University of Kansas, will be held May 2nd, on McCook Field at Lawrence. These games are open to all accredited high schools in Kansas. To equalize conditions as far as possible, all competing schools will be classified as follows: Schools having an enrollment of less than 150 as class C; Schools with an enrollment of 150 but less than 275 as class B; Schools with an enrollment of more than 275 as class A; and teams representing County Athletic Associations, as class AA. To stimulate interest in the meet, the University will offer as prizes thirteen gold medals for first places, thirteen silver medals for second places, thirteen bronze medals for third places, four silver loving cups for relay races, four silver loving cups for the teams scoring the highest number of points in each of the four classes, and four silver loving cups to the individual competitors scoring the highest number of points in each of the four classes. The meet is open to athletes in good amateur standing under the rules of the American Athletic Union.

WALK TO PROM
Juniors Are Not Going to Use Cabs or Make Programs in Advance.
At a meeting of the Junior class held in chapel at noon Tuesday it was unanimously decided to do away with the use of cabs on the night of the junior promenade. It was also agreed by a unanimous vote to discontinue the practice of making out programs in advance. It was decided that none of the juniors should make out any part of a program before the grand march on the night of the prom. The class also asks that the seniors observe the same rule. The assessment for the prom was fixed at $3.50, for each junior and a like amount for anyone outside the junior or senior class.
Last Senior Party.
The Class of 1908 will give its last party Friday evening April 17. The senior class has been a most successful one in all lines of school activity.
ELECTION NEXT TUESDAY
ONLY ONE TICKET HAS AS YET BEEN ANNOUNCED.
Pleasant, Miller, Rouse, and Worline Nominated by Somebody for the Athletic Board.
With the Athletic Board election coming next Tuesday the politicians of the University are inactive and as yet only one ticket is in the field.
"Uncle Jimmy" Green is again the nominee for president of the board and "Bill" Caldwell, the big sophomore tackle is the candidate for vice-president. Carl Pleasant, junior engineer, captain Carl Rouse, senior engineer, Milton Miller, senior college and first year medic next term, and "Bob" Worline, middle law, are the candidates for the four board memberships. "Andy" Cummins, sophomore engineer, is nominated for chairman of the track committee; Vern Miner, freshman college, of basket ball; "Mike" Lynch, junior engineer, of rowing; Joseph Holthoefer, freshman college, of base ball; Milton Baer, freshman college, of foot-
LOOKING FOR GAMES.
Want Three Games of Base Ball for the Vacation.
Since the announcement of vacation Manager Lansdon has been making attempts to arrange for baseball games on Thursday and Friday of this week. If the weather clears off sufficiently it is probable that the Jayhawkers will play the Emporia Normals at Emporia Thursday, the Warrensburg, Mo., Normals at Warren'sburg Friday, and the Soldiers at Fort Leavenworth on Saturday.
If this trip cannot be arranged the team will likely play with Washburn at Topeka Friday and the Soldiers on Saturday.
Debaters Leave for Oklahoma.
C. C. Merillat and J. M. Childress, the Kansas representatives of the Kansas-Oklahoma debate, leave tonight for Norman, Okla., where they will defend the negative of the income tax law in the annual clash between the Sooners and the Jayhawkers. The men have been working hard and go to Norman tonight, one of the best prepared teams that has ever represented the University. McGregor Douglas, A.B.'94, of Oklahoma City, will join the Kansas team enroute and accompany them to Norman.

IS THE "COLLEGE SPIRIT"
PASSING?
Not rarely is it heard, generally from the older students, that the students of the University do not display the same intensity of college spirit as they did in this institution a few years ago. And there is some apparent truth in the statement so often made. A real live college spirit is a thing to be desired in a school, but of course it usually carries along with it many things which are not so desirable. It is the distinctive atmosphere of Yale or Harvard that is remembered by the graduates of those institutions long after many of the things learned in books have vanished from memory. It is the traditions, the venerated institutions, the odd customs that cluster around European universities that make them the sought after of all schools. The University of Kansas is a growing school, yet in its infancy, but it can not afford to have that "business college" atmosphere about it with which it at present seems to be somewhat afflicted. Of course in the rapid pace of the commercial age the old college life, with its community interests and well defined characteristics, is rapidly passing away, but nevertheless it is a thing worth retaining as long as possible. Perhaps the building of dormitories would do much towards bringing back the "college spirit" that seems to be almost a thing of the past.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The decision of the Junior class not to fill out programs will be of no avail unless it is observed by all the members of the class. It is on the part of the class an act of courtesy to observe and of course it would seem out of place for any of the invited guests to break the rule.
At the Junior class meeting yesterday every girl present voted to "cut out" cabs on the night of the junior prom. Unnecessary to say the boys of the class appreciate this show of
Talk about seizing opportunity by the horns. The Chancellor certainly took advantage of the full attendance at chapel Monday to get in a few words of advice and rebuff.
sacrifice—anyway to the extent of $1.50.
Columbia University has a student who has been a fully matriculated undergraduate for twenty-seven years. He receives an annuity as long as he stays in school. Graduation means the loss of this. He has taken five degrees,has deliberately flunked in chemistry seven times and has seen President Butler of that school rise from a freshman to the head of the institution.

like this one, they could have life positions on the student council.
The Baker student who won the first prize in the state oratorical contest by using a purloined oration published an apology in the Baker Orange in which he says he "didn't think about the results." If he would cut off the last three words his statement would ring more true.
The attendance of faculty members at chapel Monday morning was the largest of the year, all of which goes to show that human nature is the same whether found in the student body or in the faculty.
The fact that the laboratories were to be closed Monday afternoon, that a good many of the professors had announced that there would be no school Monday afternoon, and that the German Verein changed its meeting time, and then the fact that there was no holiday coming, would seem to indicate that the song sung in chapel did not make a great hit with the Chancellor.
The Oklahoma Umpire gets off the following in an editorial on the coming debate with Kansas:
"We have them on our home grounds, as it were, and if we will only stand on the sidelines of the intellectual gridiron and cheer our logician giants as we cheer at a football game doesn't it look as if we should win? Inspired by five hundred seats full of college spirits our debaters will work wonders."
It is to be wondered what the Kansan debaters will do when they see this extraordinary sight.

TOOTS FROM THE WHISTLE.
Did you go to the fire?
The efficiency of the University fire department was amply illustrated Saturday when a score of excited janitors raced towards Fowler Shops with fire extinguishers.
"I knew it wasn't a fire," explained one person when asked why he ran. "The first thing I thought of was that a war with Japan had been declared."
A student minus one shoe, coatless and hatless walked down the hill in disgust after the fire. "Aw say, that was a poor joke," he muttered. "I thought I would be there in time to save at least one stone from out the ruins."

CALVIN THOMAS IS COMING
WILL SPEND THREE DAYS AT THE UNIVERSITY.
Is an Authority on Faust.—Chairman of Reformed Spelling Executive Committee.
Professor Calvin Thomas, Professor of German Language and Literature in Columbia University, will spend three days at the University of Kansas, beginning April 16th. During this time Professor Thomas will give himself freely to the students and instructors of the University. The following is the program of his lectures and addresses:
Thursday, April 16th,4;30 p. m., An Interpretation of Faust; 8:00 p.m., The Tragedy of Fanaticism.
Friday, April 17th, 9. a. m., Lecture in German, on Grillparzer; 10 a. m., A Chapel'Talk; 4:30 p. m., Second Lecture on Goethe's Faust; 8 p. m., An informal talk on Spelling Reform.
Professor Calvin Thomas is one of two or three best known German scholars of America. He is the author of the best annotated edition of Goethe's "Faust," of a "Life of Schiller," of one of the most thorough German grammars for college use, and of several other annotated German texts. He is chairman of the Executive committee of the Spelling Reform Association and is recognized as one of the most moderate and practical advocates of the new orthography. Professor Thomas is a man of strong personality and a very attractive public speaker. He is a Westerner by education being a graduate of the University of Michigan, where he held the chair of of German before going to Columbia.
This is an unusual opportunity for the German teachers of the Kansas colleges to hear the great Germanist, and the University extends to them a cordial invitation to go to Lawrence for this purpose.
A student was buying some candy down town last week. As the rather good looking middle aged lady weighed out the refreshments, he absent mindedly began singing, "Well I love you, love you, love you." And he didn't even see the joke when the lady said quietly, "That's all right, but don't tell anybody about it. I'm married."
Phi Delts Defeated Phi Psis.
In the third game of the interfraternity base ball schedule Monday afternoon the Phi Delts defeated the Phi Psis by the score of 5 to 1. Moore and Mervine were the opposing slab artists. Gelwix and Eaton were on the receiving end.
B. B. Shore, a graduate student, was seriously injured Saturday evening on Mississippi street. He ran the bicycle he was riding into an open culvert and was thrown to the ground. His jaw was broken and one of his wrists was injured. He was taken to the Simmons Hospital.

Trouble at Leland Stanford.
Forty-one students at Stanford University have been suspended and 160 penalized for protesting against the action of the faculty in ruling out liquor from club and fraternity houses. Captain Gay of the boating squad was among those dismissed. As a result both boat squads have disbanded, the base ball and tennis teams have disorganized, and the track team has threatened to do the same. The penalty imposed is the requirement of fifteen additional hours for seniors, ten hours for juniors and five hours for sophomores.
Don't Study on Sunday.
Professor C. G. Dunlap spoke to the Y. W. C. A. Wednesday afternoon on the "Use of the Sabbath." He said that it should be used for quiet, helpful recreation rather than a general holiday. He is opposed to making the day a clearing house for the odds and ends of work left over from the week and is also strongly opposed to Sunday studying, one of the most common ways of breaking the Sabbath in a student community.
Prizes For Song Words.
Professor C. E. Hubach has announced that he will give prizes for words to accompany a song to be used by the glee club. The first prize is $10.00 and the second $5.00. The words need not be regarding the club or the University but can be about anything the author chooses. The name of the writer must be on a separate sheet from the words and all copies must be in by May 15th.
Girls Play Basket Ball.
A basket ball game between the ten and eleven o'clock classes in the girls gymnasium Saturday resulted in a victory for the maidens representing the eleventh hour division. The score was 18-16. Ten o'clock girls: Beal, Fitch, Parisho, Grace Russel, West, and Edie. Eleven o'clock girls: Detwiler, Young, Phillips, Ruth Berger. Pleasant Greene, and Howat.
Second Masque Club Play.
The Masque Club will present "My Friend from India" as the second production of the year on April 25. A matinee and evening performance will be given. This will be the tenth appearance of The Masque Club before a University audience.
Sophomore Medics Win.
The sophomore medics won a base ball game from the Freshmen medics Saturday by a score of 13 to 5.

QUEER JOURNEY OF A UNIVERSITY LAW BOOK.
BUY STOLEN BOOK
Taken from Library and Sold to Kansas City Firm Comes Back in Consignment of Books.
A peculiar case of stealing has been brought to light in the University. The Law library received in April 1901 among a consignment of books, a Treatise on Quasi-Contracts. The law books are stamped with the University stamp on the title page and on pages 99 to 104. This book was duly stamped and entered in the library.
Not long ago the same book was received the second time at the Library in a shipment of books from a book company of Kansas City. The stamp on the title page had been cut off, but the one on pages 99 to 104 had been overlooked.
On inquiry at the book company, Dean Green found out that a certain student now in the Law school had sold several books to that firm. The matter will be taken before the Board of Regents.

IN AN ERRORLESS GAME KANSAS SCORED ONE.
Jayhawkers Took an Easy Game from Normals—Carlson Is the Best Batter.
Last Saturday the Jayhawker ball players met the soldier team of the Thirteenth Regiment in Leavenworth and defeated them in a fast, close game by the score of 1 to 0. Uncle Sam's boys won the championship of the Philippines while they were in the far east but Coach Kaufman's aggregation was too much for them.
The Kansans played a fast, errorless game. Harlan pitched good ball and had the boys in blue on his staff during most of the contest. The one run of the game was made by Doubleday in the third inning on an error and a hit by Carlson.
Won From Normals.
Five to one, with the Jayhawkers on the long end,
was the score of the Kansas-State Normal baseball game in Emporia last Wednesday. The contest was slow and, except for a home-run by Hoffman,
was featureless. The score:
Kansas -2 0 1 1 1 0=5
Emporia-0 0 0 0 0 1 0=1

OKLAHOMA WON A VICTORY IN ANNUAL DEBATE.
Affirmative of Income Tax Question Ably Defended, However, by Childress and Merilatt.
In the annual Kansas-Oklahoma clash on the forum, which occurred at Norman, Oklahoma, Friday evening, the Sooners defeated the Jayhawkers by a vote of the judges of two to one. Both sides were well prepared and when the last speaker finished the audience was in doubt as to the outcome. J. M. Childress and C. C. Merillat ably defended the negative of the question: Resolved, that Congress should enact an income tax law. Oklahoma presented a strong team to uphold the affirmative of the question. The judges of the debate were: J. C. Carlyle, Arlington, Texas; A. N. Young, banker, Muskogee, Oklahoma, and C. M. Briles, Superintendent of Instruction of Muskogee.
JOINT CONCERT AT TOPEKA
Washburn and K. U. Boys Sing Together in the Auditorium.
The concert given by the University Glee Club, in conjunction with the Washburn Glee Club was held last Friday evening in the Auditorium at Topeka.
The Washburn Club was strong on classical music, making a contrast with the light comedy singing and the informal air of the University boys. Miss Grace Boles and Miss Nellie Lincoln, of Topeka, assisted with solos and readings.
The special features of the University part of the program were "Floating on a Marcel Wave," by Irwin Snattinger, and "Mr. Indian" sung by R. E. Teall and the club. Mr. Snattinger sang as an encore a burlesque on a Washburn student. The Washburn club was stronger in numbers having seventeen members.
The Spring concert of the Orchestra will be given tonight in the Fraternal Aid Hall at 8:15. A special effort has been made to make the program popular, and favorite numbers from several former concerts have been included, as well as new ones. A piece of particular interest will be a selection from "The Pirates of Penzance," the opera which was given last year. Miss Phipps will play a violin solo, and Miss Russ will sing Gounod's popular "Serenade." Athletic tickets good. Admission 25 cents.

A NEW SYSTEM
AT FRIDAY'S MEETING COL- LEGE FACULTY VOTED IT.
Wider Range in Electing Studies under New Plan—Must Choose Major.
In a meeting of the faculty Friday morning the much discussed question of revision of the elective system was finally decided. The plan agreed on completely changes some features of the present system. It is far more flexible than the old and will allow a student a broader field from which to choose his studies. At the same time, it will prevent him from doing practically all his work in one department.
Under the new method, the courses in the College are divided into eight groups, each group containing from two to six departments.
The system requires freshmen and sophomores to choose five hours each from six of the eight groups. Group one is English language from which five hours must be taken. This leaves a student the privilege of selecting five out of seven groups, which means that he can dodge science or any thing else that he does not particularly want. Not more than twenty hours may be taken in one department. Sixty hours work must be completed at the end of the sophomore year.
When a student enrolls as a junior he must decide on one group as a major and register that with the Dean. Before graduation he must complete not less than thirty hours nor more than sixty in this group. Not less than 20 nor more than 40 can be taken in one department of this major group.
The work not chosen in the major course may be taken elsewhere subject to the restriction that not more than thirty hours be elected in one group.
Hurt by an Explosion.
---
Dr. F. W. Bushong was painfully injured Saturday afternoon by an oil explosion. He was working with a small quantity of crude oil and nitric acid sealed in a glass tube when the mixture exploded. Mr. Bushong's face and hands were badly cut by flying pieces of glass. The force of the explosion drove particles of glass through electric light bulbs. Prof. Bushong will be unable to resume his work for several days.
H. G. Elledge, a student, was also slightly injured.
Discovered in North Dakota.
In the Kansans story of the K. U. professors whose names appear in "Who's Who," the name of Dr. J. E. Todd of the Geology department should have been mentioned. Dr. Todd's name appeared from North Dakota in the book.
WARM TIMES AT ELECTION
STORMY SESSION HELD YES-TERDAY IN CHAPEL.
Effort to Postpone Meeting Ended in Failure—Brilliant Oratory Displayed.
At a stormy meeting of the athletic nssociation,which lasted for an hour and a half yesterday the Beta-Phi Delt-Phi Psi-Barb combination athletic ticket was elected by majorities ranging from a unaminous vote to 94. The effort of a large number of students to have the election postponed for two weeks in order that an amendment to the athletic association's constitut-providing for the election of the faculty members of the board met an untimely death in the maelstrom of the political battle.
The candidates over whom there was a contest, with the votes they received are: Rouse 387, Miller 281, Worline 250, Pleasant 399, Reed 124, Crowell 156. The other officers of the association were elected unanimously as follows: president, J. W. Green; vice-president, "Bill" Caldwell; football, Baer; baseball, Holthoefer; rowing, Lynch; tennis, Lee; track, Cummins; basket-ball, Miner.
The fight was between the three above named fraternities on the one side supported by a large faction of the non-fraternity vote and the other five fraternities. The usual custom of postponing the election until the next day and voting by Australian system was rejected by the majority, which was aware of the fact that it could elect its ticket without a scrap if the election was forced at that time. The minority resorted to all kinds of tactics to delay the meeting. A dozen different motions were put and each time a division of votes was demanded.
One feature of the meeting was a speech by Professor Van der Vries in which he explained his reason for not posting the notice of the amendment. The reason he assigned was that he was afraid if the members of the association tried to amend their constitution they would have all their powers taken away.
The next Vesper service will not be held next Sunday, as announced in the University Calendar this week, but on April 26.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
When Professor Vander Vries in his phillipic delivered yesterday asserted in terms, more frank than they were sugar-coated, that so long as petty politics played a hand in the selection of the student members of the athletic board that the students would not exert any influence in the management of University athletics he was treading dangerously near the truth. He stated in substance that the student members of the athletic board were as a rule a bunch of "numskulls," fossils, clams who haven't spoken a word in meeting for months. Perhaps this characterization of the student members is somewhat calculated to make some of the ex-members of the athletic board feel wretched and unhappy, but there are few students, who are acquainted with University politics, who will dispute the statement. At the caucuses held to choose the candidates it is always the vote getters that are picked and not the men who are best qualified for the place. The selection of these men is nearly always confined to a half dozen of the last football stars. It would be absurd to think that in this small bunch of students could always be found good representative men for the athletic board. But these men are all known to the students and they can poll the freshman vote and the vote of the faction that happens to get their name on its ticket first. In selecting the members the men on the ticket are never
discussed; the name of the ticket is the only thing considered. It would be supposed that University students would exercise more judgment in voting than they do. Tammany politics is a pure and intelligent thing compared to the politics of the University of Kansas.
Chancellor Strong in his speech at the Alumni banquet at Kansas City Friday night opened the discussion resulting from the Governor's call for a meeting of the heads of the state educational institutions with a view to the unification of those institutions. The State Constitution provides that a department of agriculture be maintained at the University, but the politicans of the early days farmed the departments out to various towns for patronage, and as a result separate schools have grown up, in rivalry instead of in cooperation as provided for in the constitution. To bring back to the University the departments which belong to it will place the institution at the head of state uni-

VOLUME IV.
UNIFY SCHOOLS
MEETING OF STATE INSTRUCTORS CALLED BY GOVERNOR.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL 18, 1908.
University, Normal and Agricultural College Concerned in the Decision.
The idea of the meeting is to unify the administration of the state institutions and not to consider bringing the schools, or any part of them together. It is intended to avoid duplication of work and thereby save the state a great deal of money.
The heads of the three State educational institutions,-the University, the Agricultural College and the State Normal,-the regents of these schools and the leading Deans of the various departments, will meet in Topeka, April 28, to confer with Governor Hoch regarding the educational institutions of the state.
"It is just a question of whether Kansas is to have one first class institution, or two third class schools. It is the most vital question the University has been confronted with for a long time," said Chancellor Strong in speaking of the matter.
For several years the Agricultural College at Manhattan has been slowly drifting toward University methods. The question whether the state is to have one or two universities is now demanding an answer.
COLLEGES ON TRIAL.
Dr. Thomas Talked on Mission of Colleges.
"American college education is on trial," said Professor Calvin Thomas, head of the department of Germanic Languages and Literature in Columbia University, in his talk in chapel Friday morning. Professor Thomas said the college ought to give to students breadth of view, energy of character and devotion to their fellowmen.
Professor Thomas is a graduate and former faculty member of the University of Michigan and is in sympathy with universities supported by taxation. Yet he believes that Columbia, which receives money from the wealthy is doing its share for the social uplift of New York City.
NEXT WEEK
MASQUE CLUB PLAY
"My Friend from India" To Be Second Performance.
The Masque Club will make its second appearance next week in Charles White's comedy, "My Friend from India," at Bowersock's Opera House. "My Friend from India" is one of the funniest things the American stage has produced, and has furnished more merriment than any other play on the boards.
The scene is New York at the present time, and the plot hangs upon the ludicrous attempts of a retired Kansas City pork packer to get his son and daughters into metropolitan society. The son brings a stranger home with him one night, and to save himself, introduces him to his father as "My friend from India," who has discovered "Nervana." "My Friend" not only has a twin, but also a second double, and the complication is ludicrous.
The cast is the best comedy troupe that a University organization has ever gotten together. Vail Nance and "Job" White as middle age comedians, and Harry Gowans, Irwin Snattinger, and Carrol Fiske as juveniles insure a long laugh. Muriel Culp, Dorothy McKnight and Isabel Barton have all been in previous productions of the club.
The cast is:
Erastus Underholt, a retired packer, Vall Nance. Charles Underholt, son of Erastus, Harry Gowans
A. Keene Shaver, a theosophical barber, Carroll Fiske.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
What do the recent student disturbances over the country signify? At Leland Stanford all student affairs have been abandoned on account of unruly students. At Michigan the entire student body seems to be engaged in making war on the law courts of Ann Arbor. In some of the universities of the south large numbers of the students have been expelled.
The faculty recently edited the Silver and Gold, the paper of the University of Colorado. In an editorial was the assertion "that all the agitation was on behalf of the students' right to engage in horse play or become intoxicated."
This statement seems colored, but it contains some truth. Carl Schurz tells in his memoirs of his student days in Germany, of the noble part university students of those days played in moulding the course of public events. They led the revolt against tyrannical governments. They had a political faith for which they fought. Imagine such a thing today. If a girl is dismissed from school for refusing to take a cold bath students of the present day can organize a very good demonstration. When on a drunken spree students destroy property, the whole student body can turn out to defend them, as at Michigan. But where is the leadership in thought, in action, in solving difficult problems, that was once found among students? Has the hustle after money trampled it from view? Have the times changed? Is there a "new" student as well as a "new" woman and a "new" thought?
Students' day? A memory of things that were, but never more to be. Oh, that those who spoke two years ago had not roasted the faculty. If it had been different the students might have had a chance to talk again in chapel. But they were rude. They "rubbed it in" on the faculty. The even "showed the faculty up" as orators.
The Chancellor says the students may have a "students' day" if they want it. Do they want it? Ask them.
The Max Bendix Recital.
Max Bendix, the great violinist, will give a recital in Fraser Hall next Thusday night. Bendix was solo violinist of the Thomas orchestra in Chicago for many years and is known all over the world. No such player has visited Lawrence for many years. Students will be admitted for 25 cents.on presentation of Athletic or Fine Arts tickets.
On the Value of News.
---
C. C. Cline, news editor of the Kansas City Journal, talked to the newspaper classes Friday morning on "News and Its Relative Value." He explained how the policy of a paper and how previous events affected the value of a news story. He told of the origin of the "How Old is Ann" story and the methods used by the Philadelphia North American in playing it up.

WILL EDIT THE JOURNAL
Scoop Club and Newspaper Classes Run City Paper Next Saturday.
The Scoop Club and the newspaper classes of the University of Kansas will edit The Lawrence Journal April 25. The paper will be increased to eight pages, and will be an exhibition of the ability of University journalists. Jerome Beatty is managing editor, Roy Roberts city editor, Brock Pemberton telegraph editor and Wallace Hovey feature editor. Beatty, Roberts, and Pemberton with L. N. Flint and C. M. Harger of the faculty will determine the policy of the sheet. The different members of the Scoop Club will write the leading feature and news stories.
The Scoop Club is a new organization in the University, and follows out the idea of the old Press Club. It is composed of men who have done actual newspaper work.
There are two classes of journalism in the University, the sophomore and the senior. The sophomores are instructed in the rudiments of the profession, such as reporting, interviewing, head writing and proof reading. The seniors study editorial writing and the more advanced phases of the work.
Student Day at California.
At the University of California the students have one day in the school year set aside for their exclusive use. The day is given up to student affairs of all kinds. In the morning speeches are made by representative students in which problems of school life are discussed. In the afternoon, the big feature of the day—the Circus—comes off. In this show nearly every organization in school has some stunt. Fraternities, clubs, Y. M. C. A. and societies of all sorts take a part. The different performances are arranged so as to form a connected whole. A parade is started at the University which marches over the town like a real Barnum and Bailey production. The performers then gather in the Greek theater and present the show. This one day develops more real school spirit than all the others put together.
Ward Coble Business Manager.
Ward H. Coble has been selected as business manager for the Kansas Lawyer, to fill out the unexpired term of F. O. Martin who recently resigned from that position. Mr. Coble is a third year man in the University. He was a member of the Kansan staff for two years.
It's no use for the University to put on any airs so long as dead-give-away advertisements like the following appear in the down town papers: "Wanted There is room to pasture a few more cows on the University campus. Make arrangements at once. Bell phones etc."

ALL READY FOR SOPHOMORE
GRAND MARCH WILL START TONIGHT AT 8:30.
The Event of Second Year Class Is Informal—No Cabs and No Advance Programs.
Promptly at 8:30 this evening the grand march of the Sophomore Prom will advance down the center of Fraternal Aid Hall, under the mellow effect of two large electric numerals, '10 and '08, on each side, symbolizing the significance of the occasion.
The honors of receiving will be done by Carroll Teeter, Mary Gilmore, Earl Woodward, Beatrice Reid, Morris Roberts and Hattie Miller. The affair will be strictly informal.
There will be nearly one hundred and fifty couples in the grand march, led by the President, Carroll Teeter, and Miss Gilmore. On account of this large number going, admission will be by ticket only.
Very artistic programs in the form of booklets are to be presented in the two corners near the stage by Thos. Burtch and Margaret Fort, and Maurice Briedenthal and Lillian Abrahams.
A three course luncheon will be served in three divisions of fifty couples each at the little tables in the parlor downstairs. Because of this difference of time in serving refreshments, no programs are to be made out in advance.
Deutscher Verein Doings.

The settling of this time-honored question at Washburn Friday night promises to be an interesting event. Word comes from the Congregational debating camp that the Washburnites have been in conference with the Secretary of the State Women's Relief Corps for several weeks and are exceptionally well prepared. The Kansas boys have been working hard and will give their adversaries a run for their money.
The Missouri-Kansas debate, the only intercollegiate debate to be held in Lawrence this year, will be held in the chapel on April 28. The Debating Council is preparing to give a banquet to the Missouri debaters, the judges, and all men at the University who have participated in intercollegiate debate. The debating emblems will be presented at this banquet.

MASS MEETING
HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL MAY 7.
The Committee of Ten Will Have a Plan Ready by That Time.
The student mass meeting, scheduled to be held Thursday, April 23, has been postponed two weeks from that date on account of the Max Bendix recital in the chapel tomorrow night. The committee of ten has been busily at work and has secured much interesting information regarding student affairs at other representative higher institutions of learning. The postponement of the mass meeting will give more time for the preparation of data and plans.
Freshmen Play Westport.
Blacker's freshman team will hook up with the Westport high school team Saturday afternoon on McCook. The freshmen have played only one game this year. They have walloped the 'Varsity in several practice games. They will put up a good game against the strong high school team. The game will be called after the track meet.
Moore Talks in Chapel.
Professor W. U. Moore talked in chapel Tuesday morning about the common criticisms of laws and their administrations. He explained how the abstract idea of justice often had little influence by reason of the way in which many provisions of the common law have been evolved.
Two Games Enough.
President Elliot, of Harvard, in his annual report to the board of overseers, recommended that two intercollegiate football games were enough. He called the sport the "most useless of games" and made many other uncomplimentary remarks.
The Bendix Recital.
Much interest is being shown in local musical circles in the recital of Max Bendix, the noted violinist, which will be given tomorrow night in University Hall. Bendix will give recitals in Topeka and Kansas City which are being widely advertised.

CAN THE UNIVERSITY HOLD ITS STUDENTS?
It is not the number of students which matriculates in a university that goes to make a great, growing and permanent institution. It is the number who stay in school until they finish a course that fixes the high standing of a university. If numbers were all that counted Valparaiso University would stand next to Harvard. Yet this university in Indiana is seldom heard of.
In the University of Kansas the problem of keeping students in school is an important and ever increasing one. How to hold students after they are once enrolled is the difficult proposition for the University to solve. Experience has shown that a large majority of students drop out during or after their first year. The cause of this is largely, of course, found among the students themselves, but there is little doubt that conditions which environ the first year students are somewhat to blame.
The freshman's course in the University is far from a path of roses. He comes from the high school to a strange place. He comes from friends and finds himself among strangers. He does not find the community interest, the social unity he supposed existed "at college." There is no one who seems to realize that he is alive. After a week or two he does, indeed, find his classes, but his troubles are not ended. To his mind there is something in the instructors that makes them unapproachable. Upper classmen pay little attention to him. He is alone, and is it much to wonder at that he becomes despondent?
What can the University do to ameliorate these conditions. Is it too much to hope that the University of Kansas will some day have a Dean of men and a Dean of women. Other schools have such officials. At least the University can receive its new students with more open arms. An information bureau could be established, or a guide system. Courtesy on the part
of those who meet the new students would take some of the thorns from the freshman's way.
Make the first year a pleasant one, and students will return at any sacrifice. Money spent for this purpose would not be wasted. If more permanency of the student body could be secured, the benefit would pass the calculations of dollars and cents.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The only debate held at the University this year comes April 28 with Missouri. Kansas has an excellent team in this debate, and should win. The student body owes it to the University and the team which represents the University to turn out and give the men their enthusiastic support in their grab for the Tiger's tail.
During these gaily colored days of spring when a "young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love," it might be well to mention to the freshmen at least that a cloud no bigger than a man's hand is once more coming up into view. That

INTER-CLASS TRACK MEET.
Kansans were lucky enough to bunch their few hits. The game was won by the ability of Harlan to keep the hits scattered and to pull himself out of bad holes and a great pinch hit by Haughey Angney that drove in two runs and cinched the game.
The score:
Haskell. — 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0—0
K. U. — 0-0-0-0-0-2-1-x—3
Friday afternoon the Jayhawkers will meet Haskell, on the Indian ball diamond for the second game of the series. The third and last game will be on McCook in the near future.
"Rooting" Is Feature of Game.
Yesterday afternoon, in one of the most bloodthirsty games of the season, the Angney club beat the Eureka club at base ball to the lively tune of 2 to 0. The game was most interesting from a spectators point of view and ever and anon the hilarious crowd boisterously applauded a beautiful error or a strikeout. The features of the game were the coaching of "Mike" Lynch and "Red" Burt, and the phenomenal work of "Job" White in chasing down flies in the right garden.

PROF. MILLER SEVENTY-FIVE
THIRTY-FOUR YEARS OF SERVICE AT K. U.
Has Seen the Institution Grow From a Small College to a Great University.
Professor Ephraim Miller, for thirty-four years head of the department of Mathematics and Astronomy, is today celebrating his seventy-fifth birthday. Prof. Miller came to this University in 1874 when the institution was only eight years old. At that time the enrollment was about two hundred, the teaching force numbered but seven, and there were only two buildings, North College and Fraser Hall.
During his thirty-four years of service Dr. Miller has seen the number of buildings increase sevenfold, the enrollment tenfold, and the faculty twentyfold.
Ex-Chancellor Snow is the only member of the present faculty who exceeds Professor Miller in years of service at this University. Dr. Snow was one of the three persons that made up the first faculty of this institution.
SOPHOMORE PROM GREAT SUCCESS.
Class of '10 Gave Admirable Annual Party.—138 Couples are Entertained
The Sopohmore Prom proved to be the most brilliant informal affair of the school year. One hundred and thirty-eight couples were in attendance and the music furnished by Shanty's ten piece orchestra was of a very high order. An excellent three course luncheon was served in three divisions of fifty couples each. On the receiving line were: Carroll Teeter, Mary Gilmore, Earl Woodward, Beatrice Reid, Thomas Burch, Margaret Fort, Clem Parker, and Verna Rowe. The class of '08 will have occasion to long remember the hospitality of the class of '10.
Harry H. Kemp was host for Miss Ida M. Tarbell from 10 to 11:30 a.m.today at the Sig Alph fraternity house. Light refreshments were served and Miss Tarbell told in a very interesting way of the various methods she employed in gathering the information for her famous "History of the Standard Oil Trust." Those present were: Mr. and Mrs.R. K.Duncan, Mrs.Mary B.Whitman, Misses Georgia and Lola Smart, Harry H. Kemp, Brock Pemberton, William Clark,and the members of the Sig Alph fraternity.

IDA M. TARBELL
NOTED WRITER FAVORABLY IMPRESSED WITH K. U.
Thinks Western Students Are more anxious for Education than Eastern Students.
"The students of the western universities are not radically different from those in the east," said Miss Ida Tarbell in an interview with a Kansan reporter. "The chief difference that I see is that they are only a little more frank and open in their hospitality, which is very commendable. I find the students of the West a very interesting class of people and think that the majority of them are really more anxious for an education than those in the East. One admirable trait of the western students is that they work their way through school. I have been told that fifty per cent of the students of the University of Kansas are more or less self-supporting. A very small per cent of the eastern student body work their way."
Miss Tarbell's visit to Lawrence was characterized by a unique interest in all University circles, and the number of her hosts were limited only by the shortness of her stay here. She spoke three times before the students; in chapel, to the newspaper classes and to the American History classes. Miss Tarbell has a world wide name as an author and magazine writer, but she is also a very interesting speaker. During her stay in Lawrence she has been the guest of Professor Robert Kennedy Duncan. Miss Tarbell left this afternoon for Chicago.

KAUFMAN TO RESUME HIS SPRINGFIELD POSITION.
Popular Baseball Coach Leaves Lawrence Tonight after Developing a Great Team Here
Dick Kaufman, coach of the baseball team and the greatest slab artist that ever wore a Kansas uniform, will leave school tonight to pitch for the Springfield Western Association team. "Dick" pitched for the same team last summer and proved his ability to hold his own among the best twirlers of the minor leagues.
This season Dick has developed a winning team at the University. This is due to his knowledge of the fine points of the national game.
With good support "Dick" will win his share of the games in the Association.

KANSAS LOSES TO WASHBURN
CONGREGATIONALISTS WIN BY VOTE OF 3 TO 0.
Judges Unanimously Declare that Women Have no Suffrage Rights.
The Kansas debaters met their Waterloo to the tune of 3 to 0, in the annual Kansas-Washburn debate at Topeka last night. Thomas F. Countryman, Cowles Wright and Edgar W. Bray represented Kansas and ably defended the affirmative of the question, "Resolved, that the state of Kansas should extend the same rights of suffrage to women as to men," but the Washburn team composed of Lyle Campbell, O. Z. Preston and Merill Templeton, were exceptionally strong and carried away the honors.
In point of argument the Jayhawker debaters matched well with their opponents, but with their set speeches, delivered verbatim as they were written, they easily outclassed Kansas in delivery. The delivery of O. Z. Preston, of the Washburn team, deserves favorable mention. The Congregationalists fell down in rebuttal work.
The judges were: R. A. Lovett, Salina; Edwin Taylor, Edwardsville; S. H. Brattan, McPherson.
SCOOP CLUB IS SCOOPING
University Journalists are Editing the Lawrence Journal this Evening.
The Scoop Club of the University of Kansas has full sway at the Journal office today and they are putting out a sheet of their own making.

Harger hanging round, and with the journalism classes on the cub list, the twelve page, metropolitan like paper that appears tonight, promises to make us all sit up and take notice. The Scoop Club is made up of professional newspaper men of the University. Several of them have held responsible positions on dailies in the larger cities of the United States.
In Honor of Miss Tarbell.
The Pi Phi sorority gave an informal dinner party at their chapter last evening in honor of Miss Ida M. Tarbell and her hosts, Professor and Mrs. Robert K. Duncan. Miss Edith Snow was also a guest.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The inter-class track meets do more than anything else to foster school and class spirit. These annual contests go a long way toward taking the places of the old time scraps.
The ministers of Lawrence have put the "skidoo" on the Merry Widows at church services. If the fad continues to flourish the poor fellows in the back row will be forced to get on stilts to see the chapel speaker.
Has the student day agitation died a natural death? If we are to have a student's day this school year, it is high time to assert ourselves. We can have a day of our own if we ask for it. Where are those lusty throated individuals among the student body, who lead student spirit at the University? Why not get busy?
Nearly every week from the chapel platform the students are told that if they only work hard and graduate equipped with a lasso as it were, they can get a strangle hold on the world without much trouble and have their names written in the school histories of the coming generations. Thus weekly reassured we all enter into the wearisome strife with renewed grit and determination.
The feasibility of not making out programs prior to a dance, was amply demonstrated at the Sophomore Prom Wednesday night. Words of praise are coming from every side regarding the admirable manner in which the programs were handled at this event. The large crowd present was thoroughly congenial and no one experienced the finding of a full program immediately after they were given out.
The Washburn debate last night went still further to demonstrate that there is something radically wrong with debating at this institution. There is a weakness some place and it is not with the debaters themselves. The fact of the matter is that our debating teams are not trained as well, for some reason or other, as the teams of our smaller sister institutions. The University should see to it that her debaters are drilled so well that they can hold their own with all opponents, as far as oratory is concerned.
The students of the University of Kansas are in every sense men and women and they should have a certain self-government, especially in matters that concern the students alone. However, each student receives yearly from the State the equivalent of several hundred dollars. He should in some way compensate this debt. He must conduct himself moderately and temperately. There are certain prime matters, concerning both the students and the state, in which the state, as having most at stake, should maintain the balance of power.
The University of Kansas has far outgrown its chapel. Its crowded capacity is only about one thousand and on big chapel days it is impossible to accommodate all the students enrolled in the University. When a noted speaker appears many down town friends avail themselves of the opportunity to attend chapel, and seats are all filled before ten o'clock. Consequently the nine o'clock classes come to chapel only to find the seats filled and they

A Citizen Injured.
Mr. Thomas Sears, a citizen of Lawrence, was seriously injured Thursday day evening by falling into the ditch enclosing the Medical Building. Mr. Sears upon feeling sick, during the Max Bendix Recital, left the chapel. He was confused as to the entrances and wandered toward the Medical building, thinking he was on his way home. His cries for help brought relief and he was sent to his home in a cab.
Kemp to Women's Clubs.
Harry H. Kemp, the poet, made quite a hit while in attendance at the annual meeting of the state Editorial Association at Emporia last week. He addressed several of the leading women's clubs on the American poet, Sidney Lanier. He also discussed the sonnet before a class in English Literature at the State Normal.
Gets Fellowship in Bread Baking.
Harry A. Kohman, a senior in the college, has been granted a fellowship in Industrial Chemistry by the National Association of Bread Bakers. The fellowship lasts for two years and pays five hundred dollars a year. Kohman will try to find some way to improve bread baking or to lessen the cost of bread baking.

THE KANSAN.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL 29, 1908.
NUMBER 59
VOLUME IV.
STUDENTS DEMAND LAW ENFORCEMENT.
As the University students are more vitally interested in the enforcement of the prohibitory law in Lawrence than anyone else the Kansan feels justified in encouraging the campaign of purification that was started last Saturday by the exposure made in the students' edition of the Lawrence Journal.
The people of Kansas should be interested in the enforcement of the law in Lawrence above all other places. It is here that the most baneful influences of the violation of the law will be felt, not only now but in future years.
A duty is imposed upon the people of Lawrence and Douglas county which they can not shirk-a duty which demands that they force the officers of the law whom they have elected to do their whole duty.
Has the law been enforced? Facts speak plainer than the warped assertions of blind officials and newspapers corrupted by petty personal motives. In the students' edition there was a list of almost a dozen places where the law was, or is, being flagrantly, openly violated. Since the issue the police have raided four or five joints other than those named. These facts show conclusively that there has been almost a score of places in the city regularly conducted for the sale of liquor. In a wide-open town the size of Lawrence the number would not greatly exceed this.
Yet two Lawrence papers, whose sense of moral and civic righteousness is blinded by silly jealousies, servile personal obligations, and harlequin politics have heaped all kinds of vituperation upon the students who had the fearlessness to expose the rotten condition of affairs. These papers have alleged that facts were distorted, figures misprinted and the whole article a string of falsehoods. But of course the people of Lawrence and of the University know that this yell of "you lie" is itself false and is not believed by the papers which print it. Both the Lawrence Journal and the Gazette know that conditions are even worse than they were painted by the student paper. The Kansan is reliably informed, further, that those who edited the paper Saturday are prepared and will be only too glad to furnish proof at any time the "guardians" of law want it. The issue has been put squarely before the people of Lawrence. It is up to the officials either to enforce the law or acknowledge by their action that they are either incompetent or violators of their official oaths. All the rantings of Lawrence papers about the "misjudgment of amatuers" and "sensational journalism" can not obscure the real issue. The motives behind both these attacks are too apparent for anyone to be deceived therebv.
The articles that have appeared in both the papers are so brazen and crude in their arguments that they are humorous.
The editor of the Journal, in his desperate scramble to get back in the collar of his masters, after he had been so abruptly jerked out Saturday, printed on the front page of his Monday's edition an editorial in which he stated that the students shouldn't expose the city officials because the officials have always been kind to students in hiding from the public the names of those arrested. What, has it come to such a pass as that? Is it a case of criminal protect criminal? Is that what the Journal means? It is certainly a candid admission that there is something wrong with the officers of the law. But the Kansan does not believe the students are under obligations to protect anybody—it knows those who edited the paper are not. It is almost criminal to suggest such a thing.
Then in the same article he asserts that the University will be greatly injured by the exposure. This babble about hurting the University over the state is all nonsense. Does the editor of the Journal or anyone else think he can forever deceive the people of Kansas? Has the University such an abscess that it dares not apply the surgeon's knife lest the operation prove fatal? No, the University of Kansas has grown large enough to stand by the truth. No civic reform was ever accomplished in the dark. If the truth is so awful to relate it is time to change conditions so Lawrence and the University will not be ashamed of them.
The other Lawrence defender of law breakers came out in an article last evening in which it branded the exposure story as false. Outside of this willful falsehood the only argument it advanced was that the "joint story" had caused hard feelings between several citizens of the town. But those who edited the paper will plead guilty to this indictment. The Kansan has no idea that the Scoop Club or Journalism School cares an iota how many politicians get "sore." The unvarnished truth always makes someone sore. The editorial staff was not, however, aware that officials and certain newspaper men would jump at each other's throats as they have. But there is an old, old saying to the effect that "It is the hit dog that always yells." Let the merry war go on until it results in the enforcement of law in Lawrence, for as sure as thieves fall out honest men will get their dues.

MISSOURI WINS
TYLER AND BRINKERHOFF MAKE BRILLIANT SPEECHES
---
Judges Were Unaffected by Intellectual Broadside of Kansas Men—Missouri Did Well.
After making a most brilliant defense, refuting every argument of the opposition and with the opinion of the audience in their favor Tyler and Brinkerhoff, representatives of the University of Kansas in the debate with Missouri went down to defeat last evening in Fraser Hall.
The question, Resolved,"That all district, state, county and municipal officers should be nominated by direct primaries held under state regulation," was ably discussed by both sides. Kansas upheld the affirmative, and Missouri, represented by R. A. Smifh and Henry Elliot, defended the negative.
Brinkerhoff made an earnest opening speech in which he outlined the question and paved the way for his colleague. He was followed by Elliot who gave a memorized talk in a general discussion of the question.
The Tiger debaters came armed with set speeches,which gave evidence of much drill in delivery, and did good work in handling their question.
By agreement R. A. Smith, last speaker for Missouri, continued his talk making the rebuttal for the negative. In a brilliant speech in which the points of argument were clearly outlined, Tyler closed the discussion.
The judges were: J. S. West of Topeka, J. G. Park of Kansas City, Prof. Winslow of Kansas City.
Fire at Sigma Chi House.
A live wire in the second floor of the Sigma Chi house set fire to the woodwork which ignited with gas escaping from a leaking pipe and caused a lively blaze Sunday morning. The fire was put out before much damage was done.

EXTRA LARGE EDITION
The Kansan today issues an extra large edition for distribution to the citizens of Lawrence and to the newspapers of the state who may have received garbled accounts of the whole law enforcement affair.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
After listening to the debate last night, it is evident the result of such a contest is mere lottery. Tyler and Brinkerhoff made brilliant talks, met every point advanced by the negative, and in fact did every thing possible for two men to do to win a unanimous decision, but in the shuffle drew blanks. In the opinion of the audience the Kansas men had the contest won.
It is amusing to read an article in the Lawrence Journal written by the girl society reporter in which she referred to the editors of the students' edition as "youthful journalists." This sounds doubly funny when it is known that the girl's first newspaper experience was received after practically every member of the Scoop Club had begun his newspaper career.
Police Judge Menger is reported to have said the next student brought up before him will receive a term on the rock pile. His Honor is going beyond precedent in judging cases before they come to trial, but it is probably justifiable in this case as it will give the judge more time to attend to his duties as landlord.
One of the Lawrence papers says the students do not believe in the enforcement of law in Lawrence. This statement is absurd in the extreme. If 2000 students favored law breaking affairs in this state would be alarming indeed.

Professor W. H. Carruth has made a German translation of Thos. Moore's poem "Oft in the Stilly Night," which appeared this month in the Berlin periodical "Aus Fremden Zungen."

Boating Accident.
Six members of the German Club started on a boating trip to Cameron's Bluffs Saturday evening. On the way up the river one of the boys tried to "play pirate." As a result one boat was dipped and filled with water. Fortunately it sank in water not deep enough to drown in. The occupants escaped with a ducking and a scare.

The committee on visitation has recently made an inspection of the various colleges of the state to find out how those schools compare with the University in undergraduate work. The report states that the work is of a high class, the great deficiency being in lack of equipment.

THE words, "style, quality and value," as affixed to ready-for-service clothes, have been much abused. CAN'T HAVE "THE BEST MADE."
Every merchant CAN I HAVE THE BEST MADE. The different makes and kinds of clothes are too diversified in character. There must be a distinction. WEBSTER defines "QUALITY" as "a state of being distinguished from others, nature or character relatively CONSIDERED. Something superior or of higher rank."
