CANDIDATES FOR CAPTAINCY
THREE STARS IN THE FIELD FOR THE HONOR.
Pleasant, Caldwell and Carlson All Want To Lead '09 Eleven— Each Man Played 2 Years.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DECEMBER 1, 1908
The election for the football captaincy of the '09 eleven, which will take place in the near future, has been somewhat complicated by the recent entrance of Carl Pleasant into the race. "Bill" Caldwell and "Swede" Carlson had previously announced their candidacy.
Either one of the three men would make a great leader next year. Pleasant made his "K" in 1906 as an end. Last year he was out of the game but this season he was back in his old position. Pleasant was a star in the open field work, getting down the field fast under punts and carrying the ball well. He made one of the touchdowns against Missouri.
Caldwell is the hardest fighter on the team. As long as he lasts—and he holds out until the end—he gives his opponent all that is in him. "Bill" got his "K" last year at tackle and he has piayed the same steady, hard game for two years. Caldwell is a ground gainer of ability and is fast running down punts.
Carlson has played his second consecutive year on the team, last year as guard and tackle, this year as center. The "terrible Swede" was the star of the team this year, his open work at center being spectacular all season. Carlson is the slugger and captain of the baseball team.
WHO ARE CHAMPIONS?
Denver University Challenges Kansas to a Game.
Coach Kennedy received a challenge from Denver University yesterday to play a postseason football game in Kansas City to decide the championship of the Rocky Mountain District and the Missouri Valley. The Coach says he does not think it possible to accept after the hard season just finished. Denver University has defeated all the leading football teams of the Rocky Mountain region.
BASKETBALL
NUMBER 30
SEASON OPENS NEXT WEEK WITH BAKER FIVE.
Team Leaves Dec. 12 on First Trip — College Teams of Kansas to be Played.
The local basket ball season opens in the Gymnasium Dec. 11, when the Baker team tangles with Captain Woodward's squad. The team will leave the next day on their first trip and will play about seven games while on the road. Baker, Fairmount, Kansas Wesleyan, Emporia, Newton Y. M. C.A., and Ottawa University are on the sceedule during the week. The team has been practicing under the direction of Dr. Naismith for over a month. Captain Woodward will hold down one guard and that is about the only position on the team that is secured. Tom Johnson, Randall, McCune Bergen, Heizer, Martindell, Wohler and Beard all have chances to land one of the other four positions.
The Athletic Board will meet this week and try to hire a coach. "Phog" Allen, last year's mentor, is coaching in Kansas City and cannot be secured. The Board has in mind several good men, and will try to land one of them.
Tickets Must Be Exchanged.
Owing to the small seating capacity of the University chapel all holders of student tickets will have to exchange them for general admission tickets to gain admittance to the concerts given by the glee club Dec. 3 and 4.
BIG BANQUET TOMORROW
STUDENTS, BUSINESS MEN AND FACULTY TO DINE TEAM.
It Is Expected 500 Will Be Present To Listen to Speeches by Chancellor, Gov. Stubbs and Others.
The 'Varsity football banquet, given by the University Y. M. C. A., students and downtown business men, will be held in Robinson Gymnasium tomorrow evening at seven o'clock. This is the first time that the student body has been invited to banquet with the football team, and it is the only time since 99 that a chance has afforded itself for the students to pay their respects to an all-victorious team. Arrangements have been made to take care of five hundred banqueters besides the invited guests.
The twenty-two football players, Coach Kennedy and wife. Assistant Coach Mosse and wife. Coach Rouse of the Freshman team, Governor-elect Stubbs, and representatives of the Star, Journal, Post, Capital, all the Lawrence papers and the Kansas are to be the guests of the evening.
Chancellor Strong will be toastmaster for the occasion. Coach Kennedy will speak on "The Making of a Football Team." Assistant Coach Mosse will respond to the toast, "Stolen Signals." Ralph Spotts, this year's cheer leader, will talk for the student body. William Hudson, of the El-

ALL STAR DANCE
ONLY ELITE IN SOCIETY TO ATTEND THIS PARTY.
You Must Be Pretty and a Good Dancer, Girls. To Get Invitation to "All Star" Dance.
An "all-star" dance is the newest social function in the society circles of the University. A number of students have made arrangements to give a party Friday, December 11, at which only those who tip the light fantastic toe with more than ordinary grace will be asked to attend.
There will be no scrubs present. Only the butterflies and Beau Brummels of the University are to be favored with an invitation. There is much curiosity in society circles to know just who the elite of the school are, but it will all be settled in a few days.
The dance will be held in Smith Hall, formerly known as Everett hall. F.A.A. hall is too big. The University's "400" would get lost there, besides it costs more, so Smith hall was chosen. Invitations will be issued in a few days. Newhouse's orchestra,the same Newhouse who plays for common folk, will furnish music.
SENIOR GIRLS TO ENTERTAIN.
To Give Party in Gym for Boys Saturday.
Next Saturday, December 5, the girls of the senior class are going to entertain the boys of the class with a spread and dancing party in the gymnasium. This is a distinct innovation in social affairs of the senior class of the University. Now one thing about the party next Saturday is that you don't need a girl to go but there will be a splendid opportunity to get one before you go home. Men are supposed to come alone and the hostesses will already be there. The Senior girls extend a cordial invitation to every boy in the class to attend the party Saturday evening.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY AND THE PEOPLE.
And now the modest State Agricultural college at Manhattan wants to take under its direction the work of forestry and road building in the state. The college at Manhattan is evidently sparing no pains to entrench itself in the favor of the people of the state and it realizes that one of the best methods in which to do this is to get as close to the life of the people as is possible. The farmers at Manhattan already have more and better buildings that the State University. Their annual income exceeds that of the university by $108,000 already, and they are constantly making an effort to increase it. Now this is a condition that does not exist in any of the surrounding states. With the exception of Kansas the income of the university exceeds that of the agricultural college in every other nearby state. What is the cause of the particular hold which the school at Manhattan has on the people of the state to the exclusion of the State University? It is undoubtedly caused by the close relations which the Agricultural college bears to the most important industry of the state. Yet from the State University come the lawyers and politicians, newspaper men and members of the state legislature of Kansas. When we contemplate these things we are tempted to ask if it isn't after all the farmer who runs the state of Kansas. Anyway, it behooves the University of Kansas through its educational extension courses, through its industrial scientific departments, through its pedagogical department and lecture courses to get in closer touch with the common every day life of the people of the state. When it succeeds in doing this it will not only have benefited itself but will be rendering the full measure of service to the people upon whom it depends for its maintainence.
And a Thanksgiving day has passed and again a halcyon
stillness seems to prevade the lair of the tigers at Columbia. They are wondering how it all happened. The best team won there is no doubt of that. The only wonder with us is how Kansas year after year with little effort gathers together a better squad of football players than can Missouri although they strain and plan and plot and make the Thanksgiving game the goal of a season's schedule. It cannot be in the size of the schools for Missouri is larger than Kansas, it is not altogether and always the faults of coaches for Kansas and Missouri have both changed coaches many times since the old story of defeat for Missouri, victory for Kansas began. No, it must be that Kansans are built of just a little firmer stuff than are the Missourians. It must be that Attica and Geneseo and Beloit, wherever they are out in Kansas, grow just a little finer specimens of manhood than the hills of the Ozarks or the home of Mark Twain can produce.
Afterthoughts
"They can't elect a governor and they can't play football," is the way a Kansas City colored man was heard to sum up the situation in Missouri after the game.
It is rumored that there has been a great pressing of dress suits among the Beau Brummels since the rumor came out about the "all star" party.
It is presumed that Coach Monilaw's "bow-wow" play went to dog-heaven after its untimely death.
What a long, weary stretch
will ensue before the Christmas recess, without the sign of an excuse for a holiday.

One is the enormous variety of models, patterns and colors shown and the certainty that each man will find precisely what he wants. Another is the assurance that the garments are the products of the most prominent makers in America—the very best Raincoats made. The other is the important fact that throughout the entire display the prices range from $2.50 to $5 lower per Raincoat than similar grades sell for in other stores.

"INTELLECTUAL HOBOES."
Dean Deed of Michigan Scores College Secret Orders.
Dean Deed of the literary department of the University of Michigan made an attack on college fraternities before the State Teachers' Association Saturday. His speech was entitled "Intellectual Hoboes."
"Musical organizations and athletic clubs are foci for dissolute and disorderly hangerson," said the Dean. "While the fraternity organizations might be one of the most powerful instruments for good influence and scholarly work, yet, as they exist at present, their influence is all thrown in the direction of interests which are not academic.
"I have sufficient proof of this. Last February twentythree men from the literary department of engineering were dismissed from the university for incompetency. Of these seven were still in Ann Arbor, most of them living in fraternity houses as late as the month of May. Prominent members of some of the fraternities came and implored me to help rid them of this class of fellows.
"Not only this, but two or three fraternities had men boarding in their houses who made no pretence of attending classes, and who had not even registered in the university. These conditions I have found existing in every university I have visited. The only way to get rid of these intellectual hoboes is summary dismissal. My statements can all be substantiated." - University Missourian.
Graduate Club Reorganized.
A meeting of graduate students was held Friday, Nov. 20, at which a large number were present and the graduate club was reorganized. The following officers were elected: President, R. W. Baldwin, A. M. '08; vice-president, R. J. Ray, A. B. '08; secretary, Florence Hedger, A. B. '04; treasurer, C. H. Heuser, A. B. '08. The object of the organization is to bring the graduate students, each of whom is largely working independently, into closer touch socially and intellectually. There were 102 graduate students enrolled in the University last year and the enrollment will probably be as great this year.
Fine Arts Recital.
Miss Mary Angell will give a piano recital this evening in Fraser Hall. It is the third of the fall Fine Arts course and will be open to the holders of students' tickets.

Prof. Hodder in Chapel.
Prof. F.H. Hodder made some suggestions to students in his speech in chapel Tuesday morning by reading two old-time poems. The first was a medieval students' song in which the chief thought was "Some are living without thinking." The second poem gave the story of an irregular city street which had been originally formed by the path in a forest of a calf that wobbled. The moral was that sometimes "Reverence is lent to well established precedent." Prof. Hodder sought to apply the thought of poems to his audience by his closing question, "Does a college student think?"

400 ATTEND BIG BANQUET
TOOK 15 SPEAKERS AND TWO HOURS TO TALK FOOTBALL.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DECEMBER 3.1908
The first University banquet ever given a varsity football team was held in Robinson gymnasium last night. Four hundred were in attendance, and the occasion was one of the most enjoyable events ever held at the University.
Mosse Made Hit as After Dinner Speaker and Indicated Intention of Going Back to Farm.
The menu was an excellent one, the caterer surpassing the usual standard of such affairs. After the guests had done justice to the viands they listened for two hours while fifteen speakers discussed the great game of football, in every possible bearing and from every possible angle. From the first game ever played by a varsity squad to the blowing of the whistle closing the last game of the ever victorious season just past, not an incident in the football history of the University was allowed to go unrecorded.
Chancellor Strong, as toastmaster, introduced the first speaker, Governor-elect Stubbs who responded to the toast, "Kansas Men." He traced the origin of the indomitable spirit of our football men back to the pioneers who suffered and wrought in the early days.
Prof. E.M.Hopkins, the first football coach of the University gave some ancient history, describing the first game with Baker and the first with Missouri.
Dr.James Naismith described some of the sacrifices which a student had to make for the privilege of playing on the team.
Ralph Spotts, this year's cheer leader, described the spirit of the University, which will lead the student body to support a team in defeat as well as in victory.
Dean Green commended this year's team for its team work and saw hope for the future in the waning of the spirit that urges the player to seek glory for himself regardless of the welfare of the team.

GOOD
THE STUDENTS HERE LIBERAL IN ATHLETIC SUPPORT.
NUMBER 31
Fifteen hundred Athletic Tickets Sold Here as Against 522 at Nebraska and 844 at Iowa.
In his talk at the banquet last night Manager Lansdon said that student enterprises are better supported in this University than in any other in the Middle West. Nebraska and Iowa have the system of season tickets for student affairs that is in force here, but larger use is made of the season tickets here than in either of the other schools.
In the University of Kansas 1500 students, or 85 per cent of the total enrollment, have purchased season tickets this year. In Nebraska, where there are nearly twice as many students, 522 were sold. In Iowa, where the enrollment is 2500, 844 season tickets were sold.
Mr. Lansdon quoted these figures in making the point that there is no lack of college spirit of the most helpful sort in the University of Kansas.
University Vesper Service.
---
There will be a University Vesper service next Sunday afternoon at 4:30 in the chapel. Dr. Koehne, of New York City, will give an address on the Personality of Jesus. Dr. Koehne is a well known preacher and lecturer. Professor Preyer will play a piano prelude, Nocturne, from Grieg; and Professor Preyer and Miss Cook will play a piano and organ postlude from Rubenstein. The anthem will be, "The Woods and Every Sweet Smelling Tree," by West. The usual beautiful choral service will be given.
Kennedy Will Don the Togs.
The Washburn football team will close its season next Saturday by playing a game against an "all star" team captained by Coach Weede and composed of all the best material of other days that can be collected. Coach Kennedy will probably play quarter for the "old spavs". It is expected that the old stars will go through the Washburn line like an express train through the morning fog.
Frank Paul, of the University of Illinois, is visiting at the Alpha Tau house.
GLEE CLUB WILL SING
FIRST FALL CONCERT IN FRASER HALL TONIGHT.
Hubach, Conley, Forde, and Snattinger For Special Numbers. — Piano Solo by McNeeley.
The University Glee club will give its first concert of the year in Fraser hall tonight. The same program will be repeated tomorrow night. The singers have been practicing for several weeks and a program of classical and popular music has been arranged.

The program tonight will be divided into two parts. During the first part full dress will be evident and typical college style will be the dress feature of the second part. Prof. Hubach will sing a special solo during the first part, and McNeely will play a piano solo during the intermission. Conley and Snatinger will sing a duet. Solos will be sung by Cooper, Conley, Forde and Snattinger.

In the back field, Myers, Johnson, Bond, Dahlene, Fiske, Stephenson and Steele, all practically regulars, made the emblem.
The regular "K" is to be eight inches long. The members of the squad who did not earn their regular letter but who practiced all season and got into a game or more, were awarded a sweater with the letters "K.U." four inches in length on the front.

SLOWLY, SLOWLY OUR REASON RETURNS.
We have been mad, raving, insanely mad for almost three months. And we have not been the only ones who have apparently lost their reason. From the poems, songs and yellts that have been received in the Kansan office lately we venture the opinion that there are others beside us who have needed a padded cell. But didn't we have a good excuse for losing our reason? Sanity and a winning football team were never made to go together. We had a perfect right to sing songs with words like unto the ramblings of a microcephalous individual and music that harmonized about as the stage thunder behind the scenes. If we met upon the side lines and let out yells that would make a Comanche Indian blush, whoso business was it but our own? It was all right to stir up pandemonium in chapel once a day, to have a night shirt parade once a night and to burn up a pile of boxes whenever a report of victory came over the wires. But we have played the part well. The student body and a good many others, who have passed the student stage, should be congratulated on the perfection with which they have essayed the difficult role of madmen.
But now we can catch a glimpse of returning sanity. Last night for a few hours we felt a relapse, but this morning are decidedly better. We are all going to start to school again, brush the dust from long unused books and study—yes study, very, very hard. We are not going to be lunatics any more until next year. From now on we are going to be real human boys and girls and study our lessons, oh so hard, for verily we have wasted much precious time in riotous and mad living. We are a little ashamed of our conduct but, honest, we didn't know just what we were doing. We began to study today and the way we are going to work will make father and
mother real proud of their sons and daughters at K. U.
An anti-homesick society has been organized among the Freshman co-eds at Minnesota, and they recently gave a banquet. It may be suggested that if they want to be really effective in their aim to cure homesickness they had better admit men to the club.
K. U. Men at Big Banquet.
Herbert S. Hadley, '92, governor-elect of Missouri, will be the principal speaker at the annual banquet of the Kansas Day club which will be held January 29, at Topeka. The University will be represented by O.C. Hull, a senior in the college.

Football is of ancient origin. Reference is made to it by Shakespeare in his "Comedy of Errors," Act. 2, Science 1, line 83;
"Am I so round with you as you with me,
That like a football you do spurn me thus?
You spurn me hence and he will
spurn me hither;
If I last in this service you must case me in leather."

UNIVERSITY PEOPLE WANT STATE COLLECTION.

Historical Manuscripts and Publications Would Be Great Aid in Graduate Research Work.
At the meeting of the State Historical Society in Topeka Tuesday, the advisability of building a special home for the vast collections of the society was taken up and it was decided to ask the coming legislature to appropriate money for a special building.
For some time the University has been wanting the archives of the society to aid in historical research, and an effort will be made to have the new building located in Lawrence.
Professor Curruth, who is interested in locating the building here, said to a Kansan reporter this afternoon: "Everything depends upon which town gets the new building. The University has put in a claim for it. We do not care for the entire collection. Topeka may have the Indian relics, trophies, and the museum;the University needs only the literary collection, which contains a file of all Kansas publications and manuscripts. This latter class we think justly belongs to us."
The moving pictures this week at the Lyric are extra good.
A movement is on foot to build a Memorial Hall for the Civil war veterans of Kansas, and the hall will probably come to this city, the scene of the early border wars. Interested parties will make an effort to have a part of the historical collection located in the soldiers' building should Lawrence fail to get the new Historical Society structure.

"The best spirit in the Kansas football team," said Coach Kennedy, "is inherited. The resolution that keeps a team fighting to the end is a growth which comes from the teams of previous years. The system of graduate coaching strengthens this."
(Continued from page 1)
The laurel crown, or whatever it is that an after-dinner speaker gets, was easily carried away last evening by Assistant Coach Mosse, who blossomed out as a rival of Dr. Van der Vries in the spellbinding business. Mosse was to speak on stolen signals, but modestly disclaimed the ability to use anybody else's signals even if he had them, saying that in moments of excitement he even forgot his own. He said that the game of football was becoming too complex for him and announced his intention of returning to the farm.
Prof. J. N. Van der Vries read an original poem called the "Reveries of a Tiger Mascot."

NUMBER 32
"PHOG"ALLEN MAY BE COACH
MANAGEMENT MAY SECURE POPULAR STAR.
With Good Coach, Material Under Captain Woodward Will Make Great Team.
The Athletic Association is at present looking for a coach for the basket-ball team during the coming season. Good coaches for that branch of sport are scarce and it is difficult to find a man capable of coaching the 'Varsity squad.
"Phog" Allen, last year's coach, who is now coaching the Blue Diamonds in Kansas City, may be secured to teach the 'Varsity. The management is endeavoring to have him make several trips to Lawrence each week and be mentor for Captain Woodward's squad, while coaching in Kansas City.
Since the close of the football season Johnson, Randall, and Bond have come out for practice. Johnson has had six years experience at the indoor game and is sure of a place on the squad. With these three football stars and Woodard, Bergen, McCune, Peard, Wohler and several other experienced men the new coach will have material sufficient for another championship team.
No Early Vacation This Year.
Students who have been getting some pleasure from the rumor that a three weeks' vacation would be given at Christmas because of the shortage of coal supply, are doomed to disappointment. Mr. E. E. Brown states that the University has a larger supply than at the time of the Thanksgiving recess and that there is no probability that any unusual action will be necessary to keep the University supplied with coal.
Junior Party Last Night.
The Junior class gave its third party of the year in Fraternal Aid Hall last night. Notwithstanding the fact that the Glee Club gave a concert and the Thespians and Opera people had a rehearsal, about eighty-five couples attended. Newhouse's orchestra furnished the music for the evening.
GLEEMEN SANG
VARIED PROGRAM MAKES HIT WITH AUDIENCE.
Powers the Best of the Singers Snattinger, Conley and Cooper Also Star Soloists.
The Glee club gave the second number of their sixth annual concert in Fraser hall last night before a well filled house.
The program was divided into two parts. The first half was opened with the "Crimson and the Blue," set to new music. The feature of this part was the classical solo by John B. Powers, which was easily the best number on the entire program. Professor Hubach's "Poor Man's Song," was well rendered.
During the intermission Paul McNeeley, the clubs pianist, played a piano solo that drew forth much applause.
The second half of the program was composed of popular music. The solos by Cooper, Snattinger, Conley, Hesser, Harlan, Forde, and Douglas were catchy and made a hit with the audience.
Special Edition on Fifteenth
The Christmas number of the Kansan will be bigger than ever this year. The paper will be regular size and contain about thirty pages. The edition will contain write-ups of all University organizations, but football will be especially featured. The price of the paper will be fifteen cents or two for twenty-five cents. Regular subscribers will receive their regular paper. The special will be on sale commencing Tuesday, December 15th.
A Hawaiian Would Enroll.
The registrar received a letter yesterday from a high school in Hilo, Hawaii, asking if a graduate of that school could enter Kansas University as an accredited student. The young fellow wishes to enter the University next fall.
The total registration of students for the year reached the 2100 mark yesterday.
It's 2100 Now.

PRINCESS IDA NEXT WEEK
ANNUAL FINE ARTS PLAY ON DECEMBER 10 and 11.
A Star Lot of Principals and Chorus of 28—University Orchestra
Will Furnish the Music.
"Princess Ida" will be given by the department of Fine Arts on December 10 and 11. The opera is one of Gilbert and Sullivan's productions. It is a takeoff on the higher education of of women and is built around the experiences of Hilarion and his friends, Cyril and Florian, who come to the school of the Princess, disguised as women. A real sword fight is the climax of the opera.
The University orchestra will play. Rehearsals have been going on for several weeks under the direction of Misses Flinton and Mossler.
The members of the cast are King Hildebrand, Abe Van Meter; Hilarion, Allen Merriam; Cyril, Charles Fisher; Florian, Ira Burmont; King Gama, C. P. Fiske; Arac, H. B. Bozelle; Guron, Delbert Kemp; Scynthius, Ralph Spotts; Princess Ida, Helen Jones; Lady Blanche, Alberta Cresswell; Lady Psyche, Helen Giddings; Melissa, Grace Waugh; Sacharissa, Verna Rowe; Chloe, Edna Warner; and Ada, Nina Pilkenton.
There are 28 members in the chorus. The University Orchestra will furnish the music for the two productions.
John R. Koehne at Vesper.
John R. Koehne, the eminent eastern divine will be the speaker at Vesper tomorrow afternoon at 4:30. His subject will be "The Personality of Jesus." During the coming week he will lecture every evening at the Presbyterian church.
Ristine May Lead Tigers.
Deatherage, quarter, Alexander, half and Ristine, center are the three candidates for captain of the Missouri football team. The result of the election to be held next Tuesday is uncertain but Ristine seems to have the call for the position. As a center he ranks only behind Carlson in the Missouri Valley.
CO-EDS WORRIED
ARE FINDING IT HARD TO STAY HOME.
Faculty Members Help Girls to Break Good Resolutions by Giv- Work Night Parties
University women who belong to the Pan-Hellenic and have been trying to observe the rules which forbid week night callers and the attending of parties on week nights insist that the road of obedience is getting rocky oh so rocky.
First came the big football banquet on a week night, but under the cloak of loyalty the rules could be broken. But now the law scrimpage is coming on a study night the coming week and the girls are again troubled for a good excuse to break some rules. And then there was the Glee club concert on a study night and this week "Princess Ida" comes on a week night. Two of the best known clubs of the University are going to give parties the coming week on nights when all are supposed to be in at 10:30. But after Christmas other impediments are presented to a strict observance of the rules. Mary Mannering and Mrs. Fiske are coming on week nights. In the last two weeks the faculty members have more than two times helped to play havoc with the rules by giving parties on week nights.
"Oh, we are just worried to death over these rules," admitted one blushing co-ed." "It seems as if everyone was trying to throw temptations in our way, and the faculty members are worse than anybody else. Why, I didn't realize that there was so much going on in the society life of K. U. until we made these awful week night rules."
To Analyze K. C. Kans. Water.
Next week a consignment of river, well, cistern and spring water from Kansas City, Kans. will be analysed by the University Bureau of water analysis in order to discover what is causing the prevalence of typhoid fever in that city.

STUDENTSSHOULDWORK FOR UNIVERSITY AT HOME.
It is not long now until the students of the University go to their homes, and it is not long until the legislature meets. The organization of the county clubs at this time is imperative if the students want to do the most effective work for the University in their home counties. In each county where a club gives a banquet it should have as its guests the state representative and the state senator from its county. The members of the club who make speeches should be well informed in regard to just what the University is asking from the legislature the coming session and how this request compares with the request other similar state institutions are making of their state legislatures. In addition to the work of the clubs as organizations the individual students should not fail to call on their representatives in the legislature and put in a plea for the granting of what the University is asking. The first signs indicate that there will be some kind of a fight made on the University in the legislature this winter. Just how strong that fight will be remains to be seen, but it certainly can be minimized if the students will unite in an effort to boost the appropriation. The Kansan also urges its large number of alumni readers over the state to line up behind the efforts of the University in its endeavor to get an adequate subsistence from the legislature.
Six students were dismissed from the College of Emporia because they were guilty of the crime of belonging to a fraternity. The action suspending the students comes from the faculty of the college and for that reason has about it a tinge of sarcasm. A bill is to be introduced in the state legislature seeking to abolish fraternities in the State University, and it would not be surprising
if it passed, considering the fact that much of our legislation at the present time is but the expressed whim of a moment. But for a college where rationalism is supposed to be the guide of its action to pass such rules, and then dismiss from the school students, who are said to be leaders in the institution, because they violated the rule,is enough to make one believe that education when it becomes universal will not accomplish what is expected of it. There is no doubt but that much good as well as evil is wrapped up in the fraternity. When the governing bodies of our colleges learn enough to properly regulate fraternities and place them in such environment that the

The Student's Herald of Manhattan after telling in detail the story of purloining of the Kansan's report of the Iowa game gets pointed and tells a few simple truths in this language:
"The editor of the Lawrence paper by the way, is a prominent citizen of the State, and is a senator-elect of the coming legislature.
"College students may be 'kindergartners' and be generally ignored, but whatever else may be said of them, they have a sense of fair play, and of right and justice. If men in high places, such as this editor tries to fill, employ methods as mentioned above, which are seen and studied, and later of course imitated, is it a wonder there is so much rottenness in civic life today? What is the use of training up the youth of the country to become exponents of civic righteousness, when they see the affairs of a high public office entrusted to one who has so little regard for what is right and fair."
Freshmen Play Basketball.
The tryout for the Freshmen basketball team is nearly finished. The only position not yet definitely filled is that of guard. Hurlbut, Long and Stucky are trying out and the two which make the best showing will fill this position. Watson and Van der Vries will be forwards and Malleis and Larson centers. At a meeting yesterday Larson was chosen captain of the team. The team expects to make a trip through the state during the coming season.

DISCUSSED EARLY HISTORY.
Martin Likes the Placing of Markers in Lawrence.
Apropos of the recent placing of markers to commemorate historical events in the early days of Lawrence, George W. Martin, secretary of the State Historical Society, read a vigorous paper in chapel Friday morning concerning the conditions which caused the Quantrell raid and similar attacks upon the free state settlers of Kansas. By referring to the time of the various outrages, he conclusively showed that the small band of free state marauders known as "Redlegs" could be blamed with causing the repeated assaults of pro-slavery men from Missouri.
Mr. Martin gave the Daughters of the American Revolution credit for rescuing from oblivion many historical spots in the East and said that little attention had been given to such matters in Kansas till the last twelve or fifteen years. Within that time the state has spent $22,000 in commemorative efforts and much more has been expended by private citizens.
"Frat" Men Suspended in Emporia.
Six students of the College of of Emporia were suspended for the remainder of the school year last Thursday because of their connection with a society which was formerly a local Greek letter fraternity. The faculty of the school had ruled against fraternities more than a year ago and had required that the students pledge themselves to belong to none while in school. The suspended men maintain that they had conformed with the rules by disassociating the society from the school. One of the boys is Edwin Dunaway of Oswego who was a student of the University in 1906-07. The other boys live in Emporia.

To Show Legislature That Students Are Not Rich.
An effort is being made by Chancellor. Strong to find out what percentage of the students of the University earn, or partly earn, their way through college and also how they do it. To do this a circular letter has been sent to every student in the University, asking him to answer questions concerning the above points. From the returns received from these inquiries the Chancellor will make out a report to present to the state legislature when he asks for the year's appropriation. Besides this a comparison of the percentage of working students at Kansas with other schools will be made.
Debating Questions Decided.
The questions for the three University debates have been presented to or chosen by the debating council. Oklahoma submitted the question, "Resolved that the fifteenth amendment should be repealed." The question tendered by Colorado is, "Resolved, that the U.S. should encourage a merchant marine by bounties and subsidies". The council submitted the same question to Missouri. The sides on the debates have not been chosen.

THE KANSAN
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME V.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DECEMBER 8, 1908
NUMBER 33
HAWORTH IS PRESIDENT
KANSAS GEOLOGIST CHOSEN HEAD OF MINING SCHOOLS
The Association is Trying to Get Important Legislation Through Congress.
The association is composed of all the state mining schools in the country. The members are trying to get congress to pass a bill appropriating a fund, similar to that given for agricultural purposes, for the use of the mining schools. The senate has passed the bill and it is now ready for the House of Representatives.
Professor Erasmus Haworth was elected president of the American Association of Mining Schools at a meeting held in conjunction with the American Mining Conference at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, last week. The other officers of the association elected are: Secretary and treasurer, Prof. A. H. Purdue, of Arkansas; and vice-president, Professor Fulton, of Wisconsin.
At the mining journal tomorrow afternoon Professor Haworth will tell of the work of the American Mining Conference. Several noted men delivered addresses at the meeting. Senator Dick, of Ohio, promised the conference that within sixty days a bill creating a Bureau of Mines and Mining will pass the senate. The House of Representatives has passed favorably upon the Bill.
Prof. C. G. Dunlap spoke in chapel Tuesday morning on the character and writings of John Milton. The subject was particularly timely because beginning Wednesday December 9 the literary folk of London will celebrate the three hundredth anniversary of the birth of the great poet of the commonwealth.
The most distinguished characteristic of Milton was his sense for style but he achieved no popularity as an author because his diction was too classic for popular approval.
Prof. Dunlap said that the London admirers of Milton had arranged for elaborate ceremonies and programs and the presentation of some of the poet's dramas during the three days celebration.
Dunlap Spoke on Milton.
ENGINEERS BANQUET NEXT TUESDAY
Committees Working Hard on Big Annual Affair.
The sixth annual engineering banquet will be held Tuesday, Dec. 15, in Robinson gymnasium. Covers will be laid for three hundred and fifty guests and twelve after dinner orators will speak. H.R.Davis, of the Hope Engineering company of Kansas City, will make the first speech. Three other practical engineers will be on the program but they have not yet been selected.
The faculty speakers will be Professors H. P. Cady, Berton McCullom, A. H. Sluss, and M. E. Rice. Carl Ball, president of the engineers club, and the incoming president to be elected this week are on the program for toasts.
The committees for the banquet are: Program—Harry Coleman, Charles Hoffman, Henry Nixon. Refreshment—Charles Fisher, Arthur Groesbeck, H. C. McClure. Arrangements—C. W. Morrow, Frank Glage.
SENIORS GET THE MAGAZINE
All seniors in the University, being near-alumni, are to receive the Graduate Magazine, according to an order of the alumni directors. The seniors have one advantage of the alumni, however, in not being asked to pay subscription.
For convenience, since the alumni room has been moved off the main travelled road, magazines are placed in the old alumni room, now the outer office of the dean of the college where seniors may easily get them. Beginning next month, the laws and pharmics will get theirs in one of their classes.
PAUL HARVEY CHOSEN.
The Kansan Board Picks Junior for Assistant Editor.
Paul Harvey, of Columbus Kansas, a junior in the college was chosen by The Kansan board at its meeting Monday morning to fill the unexpired term of Claud Clay who resigned a week ago. Mr. Harvey is serving his second term on The Kansan. During the football season he handled the athletic news.
CAPTAINCY TOMORROW
FOOTBALL MEN TO CHOOSE '09 LEADER AT BANQUET.
Twenty-two Men Get to Vote for Leader—Caldwell, Pleasant and Carlson Still in Race.
Tommorow evening the Athletic Management will give its annual banquet to the football team at the Eldridge house. Every man who got into a game this year will be a guest and will have a vote at the election for the captaincy of the 1909 team to be held during the evening.
Caldwell, Pleasant and Carlson are yet in the race for next year's leadership and the contest seems to be a toss-up between the three. The vote will undoubtedly be close and the winner will be successful by only a few votes.
The men who will cast ballots are Captain Crowell, Pleasant, Reed, Carlson, Harley Wood, Caldwell, Hennessey, Rice Johnson, Steele, Bond. Myers, Fisk, Waring, Dahlene, Stephenson, Randall, Vaughn Wood, Ford, Houghton, Spear and Newbold.
The senior girls proved themselves charming hostesses in the party which they gave to the boys of their class last Saturday evening in the gymnasium. The evening's entertainment opened up with a big surprise for the boys, who found their hostesses wearing red masks and red caps and gowns. They were kept guessing until just before the spread when the masks were doffed. Dancing was enjoyed before and after the spread.
Senior Girls Wore Masks.
Officers for Cherokee Elected.
The Cherokee county club met yesterday evening and elected officers for the coming year. John Brentlinger was chosen president; Cleve Bowser, vice-president; Mabel Hardwick, secretary and Dan Nevinger, treasurer. The club will give a banquet to the seniors of the Galena and of the Cherokee county high schools in Columbus during the the vacation. A football game will also be played with each school.
SAYS GUESTS ARE COMMON.
Have Not Invited the Elite to the All-Star Dance.
The promoters of the "elite" dance to be given in Smith hall next Friday night think The Kansan has been unjust and unfair to them. William Fishman of Kansas City, one of the moving spirits of the affair, said to a Kansan reporter this morning: "This is no creme-de-creme, fluffy ruffles, four hundred, light fantastic toe tripping affair. It is true that we are trying to get the best dancers on the hill and we want a party of exclusive dancers.
"But the fact is, we have not invited any elite people at allnor do we intend to. They are all the very commonest people on the hill.' When the list of invited guests is published, you will see that it does not include the elite of the school."
This statement by the promoter of what at first was intended to be a |""varsity 400" affair, that the party is to be only a simple function is causing disappointment, as it was hoped that the long mooted question as to just who compose the Elite would be settled.
But now it is all open again.
PRESBYTERIANS WILL BUILD
Raising Money for a New Westminster House.
The Presbyterians are conducting a canvas over the state to raise money with which to endow a new and larger Westminster house.
J. C. Cochran of Philadelphia is conducting the work and he has already raised a considerable sum in Lawrence. He will visit Kansas City, Topeka, Leavenworth, Winfield, Ottawa, and Hutchinson and work for the fund during the next few weeks.
W. W. Cockins, formerly of Lawrence and now of Kansas City has given $15,000 towards a new building on provision that the committee raise $30,000.
The Presbyterians are planning to erect a solid brick structure two stories high. A large hall will divide the building into two halves, on one side will be located the rooms for bible study and special classes, on the other side Dr. Wilbur, head of the Westminster house, will have his home.

WHY NOT OPEN LIBRARY TO USE OF STUDENTS.
Last night an unusual phenomenon was observed on "the hill." The sun had set and for some time the radiance of the moon had silvered the Mount Oread crest before those in charge of the library felt the call of hunger and doused the lights and locked up the building until they should have partaken of their meal. Usually the first premonitory pangs of hunger or the first whiff of boarding house cooking which floats into the east windows of Spooner Hall from the reflectories at the foot of the hill serve as the signal for driving the students from their work in the library and locking the building tight shut until the more important matter of eating has been disposed of. Some of the more hopeful in the student body see in the incident of last night a hopeful sign that at some future date the University authorities may keep University buildings open to the best advantage of the student body. The lock step and certain other matters of unison may be extremely appropriate in some of the state institutions, but it seems that the choosing of meal times is one of the matters which may be left for the University students to exercise at their own discretion. And if the authorities are really considering keeping the library open at such times as the students wish to use it, they might devote some attention to the many arguments in favor of keeping it open on Saturday afternoons.
We started to write a long editorial on the meeting of the American Mathematical Society here last week, but when we came to the place on the program where Prof. Vander Vries talked for full twenty minutes on "The Stinerians of Quartic Surfaces,"we decided to leave the editorial for the puzzle editor to write.

STUDENTS NOT SERIOUS.
Flunking an Economic Consideration Says Prof. A. J. Boynton.
"The average undergraduate does not take himself seriously enough," said Professor A.J. J. Boynton to his economics class yesterday. "From an economic standpoint a student in K.U. can not afford to flunk. Eastern men who have an allowance of $5000 a year can well fail. They get their money's worth leaning against the historic walls of the old schools. The walls at this University are so young that they are still bleak and it doesn't pay a student to come here and flunk just to rub against them. Flunking is an economic question with the ordinary Kansan and every flunk means an economic loss."

The board of regents of the University of Nebraska are considering asking Frank Strong to become chancellor of that institution when the resignation of Chancellor Andrews takes effect. No formal offer of the position has as yet been made to Chancellor Strong, but reports from Lincoln indicate that there is a strong likelihood that it will be made soon.
Whether or not the Chancellor would regard the headship of the Nebraska school as a sufficient promotion to justify him in accepting it is a question which has been much discussed in Lawrence this week. The salary is about the same as that paid here. The fact that at Nebraska the university and agricultural college are combined would give the Chancellor a somewhat larger field of work and would furnish conditions somewhat more to the liking of Chancellor Strong than he finds in Kansas where the two schools are competing against each other. On the other hand, it is believed that a very tempting offer would be required to cause the Chancellor to abandon the plans for the growth of the University of Kansas which he has been working on for years and which extend far into the future.
Chancellor Strong has made no statement in regard to the matter.
Aggie Captaincy to Gingery.

BAKER TONIGHT
CAPTAIN WOODWARD'S SQUAD TO BALDWIN THIS EVENING.
Nine Jayhawkers to Make Trip. Return Game Saturday Night
Tonight the basketball team will go to Baldwin to play its first game of the year with the Baker five. The players are all in good condition and able to play a fast game.
Last year the preacher team did not play with K. U. owing to the fact that several of the Bakerites were ineligible under Kansas conference rules. This year their players are all in good standing. Only two men of last year's squad, Brainerd, center, and O'Neil, guard are playing with Baker this year.
Nine Kansans—Captain Woodward and Martindell, guards; Johnson and McCune, forwards, Bergen, center; and Heizer, Long, Bond and Wohler, who will probably be tried out in the game, will make the trip.
The Baker team will play a return game in Robinson gymnasium Saturday night. A special train will bring the Methodist rooters to Lawrence, Hamilton, of Kansas City Central High school, will referee the contests and Shawnee, of Haskell, will umpire.
Ristine to Lead Tigers.
Carl Ristine, of Joplin, Mo., was elected captain of next years Tiger team. The final vote stood Ristine nine and Warren Roberts, a sub-guard six. Ristine was the fighting center of the Missouri team and was among the first three centers of the Missouri Valley. He is also a basketball and tennis star.
Adelphics to Meet.
The Adelphics will meet in room 19, Fraser Hall, tomorrow at 4:30. The main part of the program will be a debate on the ship subsidy question. It will be an open meeting.

The election was the closest in years. After four ballots there was no election, neither Pleasant, Caldwell or Carlson receiving a majority of the votes. Before the fifth and last ballot Caldwell withdrew. The teller counted the votes, with one ballot left in the box the vote stood Pleasant ten and Carlson ten. The deciding vote went to Pleasant.
Pleasant won his first "K" at end in 1906. Last year sickness prevented him from playing the game, but he took his old position this year and played a hard consistent game all season. "Pleas." was al ways down fast on punts and

Some Rules for Girls.
The dean of women at Leland Stanford has established the following rules for the co-eds:
1. Women students must not appear on the quad or about the university buildings wearing frou frou skirts.
II. Light dresses and, particularly,"peekaboo" waists should not be worn at university exercises.
III. Women students must not wear hosiery of light or pastel shades.
IV. Men and women students must not stroll together in the evening in single couples.
V. Lights in dormitories and house clubs must be extinguished by 10 o'clock every evening.
VI. Students of the university must satisfy themselves with fewer social activities.
VII. All men students calling on women students in the evenings must have said their goodbys and taken their departures prior to 10 o'clock.
As a result of these rules the girls are up in arms at this attack on their vested rights.

THE KANSAN
The official paper of the University of
Kansas.
Entered as second class mail matter September 30, 1904, at the Lawrence, Kansas, Postoffice under the act of Congress, March 3, 1879.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1908
The next issue of the Kansan will be the Christmas number and will be issued next Tuesday. This edition will contain about thirty pages and will have special writeups of all the organizations of the University. It It will contain a two-page half tone portrait of the individual members of the all victorious football team, which will be suitable for keeping. The cuts are all made from the latest photographs of the players and are full size. But the issue will not by any means all be given over to football. It will try to tell the story of what the University of Kansas has done and is doing for itself and its supporters. As soon as the Kansan comes off the press Tuesday
it will be on sale at the check stand and at the Kansan office.
Tomorrow the girls of the senior class are going to meet for the purpose of indorsing or rejecting the rules which have been made by the faculty committee for the purpose of regulating the girls of the University. Now if the senior girls take a decided stand on this question it may result in a strengthening of the sentiment in favor of the rules. Ultimately the only power back of the rules is the good sense and acquiescence of the students. The senior girls should come out in full force tomorrow and if they oppose the rules should not be slow to make the fact known. If they stay away from the meeting then they should not afterwards assert that the rules were not endorsed by the class.
When the election for the captainacy was in a hopeless tangle last night, the votes being divided between three men
"Bill" Caldwell than whom there is not a better tackle in this country, arose and manfully withdrew from the race. "I will play just as hard and fierce next year as a regular man as I would as captain and so I withdraw," was the way Caldwell sacrificed a possible honor to end a close election.
Caldwell's playing during two years has merited some reward. Since the day he stepped into Donald's place he has taken good care of every man that came against him. He is an all around man and a great player.
And now the University of Nebraska is looking for a chancellor and turns to the University of Kansas. The compliments which have been paid Kansas by Missouri in selecting a governor, Idaho in taking a United States senator and New York in securing her magazine editors from Kansas, and now Nebraska in looking to Kansas for a chancellor are certainly
appreciated by the University of this state.
And now the denominational institutions of the state are taking up the weekly service idea, which had its birth in the wicked University. Seems to be a case of the lion leading the little child.
Today is the last day to get the souvenir edition of the Jayhawker at two dollars. The editors and managers are endeavoring to put out a high class annual but their efforts will be reduced to nothing unless at least 500 students promise to support the scheme. All persons who want one of the annuals at the special price should see any of the committee tonight or early in the morning before the manager checks up with the committee.

LISTEN, EVERY BODY! We Launch Our Great Semi-Annual Clearing Sale Immediately! Six Weeks Ahead of Time!

ever made at this period of the year on strictly fresh new merchandise of the highest possible class and quality. Read carefully every one of the following items and, as you do so, bear in mind that the celebrated Ober Guarantee stands back of every offering just the same as though we were selling the garments at their regular prices. There has never been an opportunity anything like it and it is extremely unlikely that its equal will ever occur again in the annals of the clothing trade.

OUR $30.00 Suits and Overcoats, without equal anywhere at any price; the very finest and most luxuriously tailored garments that haver been known in the clothing industry; patterns controlled almost exclusively by the tailors who made these garments for us, now CUT TO... $20.00
Here's the Reason
EARLY in January an army of workmen will swoop down upon our store and begin the colossal task of transforming it into the handsomest, best arranged and most completely equipped clothing establishment in the entire state of Kansas. The full and complete details we will make public at a later date and when we do—well, we'll just say this: it will be one of the biggest surprises Lawrence has known in many a year. The point just now is this: the contract for this "grand transformation" was let two months ago. We are impatient for the work to begin. But it can't begin until we have sold a tremendous volume of merchandise and cleared the decks for the workmen. We have therefore decided to launch our big semi-annual clearance sale immediately instead of waiting until the customary sale period, believing that by cutting our prices to the lowest possible notch we can reduce our stock sufficiently to enable the contractors to take possession of the store early in January. That is the whole story in a nut-shell. The reduced prices speak for themselves, and in view of the fact that the entire stock is strictly fresh, new, up-to-the-minute and embraces nothing but the finest products of the greatest clothes-makers in America. We look for one of the greatest raids on a clothing stock ever recorded in this part of the country. Remember, early buying is always the best, and particularly so in this case.
Cordially yours.

Pleasant is a member of the Athletic Board and president of the senior class. He lives at Lyndon, near Ottawa, and is an engineer. No better leader for next year's team could have been found. He is popular with the men and works just as hard in scrimmage and practice as he does in a game.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME V.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DECEMBER 15, 1908
WOULD UNITE TWO SCHOOLS
CHANCELLOR FAVORS ONE HEAD FOR K. U. AND K. S. A. C.
"The University Should Go to Those Who Can Not Come to It," Says Dr. Strong.
Chancellor Frank Strong will complete his biennial report to the governor of the state this week. It will be a lengthy document of about 40,000 words and devoted to a discussion of the work of the University,the needs of the University for the next two years and a thorough review of the relations of the University to the Argicultural college.
In regard to the duplication of work in the university which other schools in the state are doing the Chancellor will say: "The University is a universal institution and covers by law as well as by implication, all of the work which an educational institution of college rank may do except what is made impossible by the organic law of the state or nation." He states that there is but one exception to the statement that the university may do any work that comes within the purvue of higher education and that is in the establishment of a theological school which would be repugnant to the constitution of the state and nation.
UNIVERSITY IS PARAMOUNT
METHODS OF SETTLEMENT
A large part of the report is devoted to a discussion of the legal phase of the state maintaining two schools of engineering and mechanic arts. This is in reply to an article which appeared in The Industrialist, the official publication of the school at Manhattan. To settle the rivalry which now exists between the agricultural college and the state university the Chancellor suggests five possible plans.
(1) To remove both institutions and place them upon one campus.
(2) The removal of the Agricultural college to Lawrence.
(3) The union of the two institutions in administrations.
(4) The agricultural college may be restricted in its duplication of work by legislative action, for the constitution does not prevent such action as it does in the case of the University.
FAVORS UNITING THE HEADS
In the discussion of these possible means of settling the difficulties now existing between the Agricultural college
(5) The agricultural college may be left free to develop into a full rounded university.

NUMBER 35
WHAT THE UNIVERSITY MOST NEEDS.
BY C. M. HARGER.
The University of Kansas needs more than anything else a series of excursions that will bring to it from every part of the state a few thousand men and women who may see for themselves what a great school does and what it needs. The average Kansan understands but dimly the work accomplished by the University; he fails to comprehend what it means to have 2,000 young men and young women gaining knowledge and inspirationand most of all, he does not realize what a fine investment it is for the state to equip and support a great school. Many universities outstrip ours in material belongings, but none in spirit, in enthusiasm or in the splendid beauty of the school's site. With the high standard of Kansas' aspirations there should be 4,000 students in the University and buildings and teachers sufficient for the proper instruction of them all. I believe that if some way could be devised to bring the representative men and women of each community to the University for inspection of its methods and personal observation of what it offers, there would be an accession of interest and a hearty willingness to build up the University to its full standard of equipment. Kansas needs to become acquainted with its University When it does, it will wonder that it has not demanded more vigorously a larger equipment a breadth of working materials commensurate with the state's development in other ways. No one who visits the University fails to become its enthusiastic advocate—many thousand more should have an introduction.
K. U. has a library with 60,000 bound volumes and 30,000 pamphlets.
K. U. BEAT BAKER
THE GAME ONESIDED BY A SCORE OF 44 TO 16.
Every Kansas man a star—Methodists outplayed at every
stage.
Last Saturday night the basket ball team played its first local game of the season and defeated the Baker five in Robinson gymnasium by the one side score of 44 to 16. From start to finish the Methodists were outclassed and the score was always heavily against them.
For the Jayhawkers every man played a star game and took advantage of every opportunity offered during the game. Bergen and Heizer, centers, took care of their own positions and played all over the court besides. Captain Woodward, Martindale and Wohler played the two guard positions and broke up many a play that otherwise would have ended in a goal for Baker. The forwards were McCune, Johnson and Long and each one of the trio was a whirlwind. Johnson was the star of the game.
The team left on its Kansas trip Monday.
Monday evening the team won the fiast game of their trip by defeating the Normals in Emporia 36 to 25.

Carruth to Issue Poems.
The Vice-Chancellor of the University, William Herbert Carruth, is soon to put before the public his first volume of poems. He has collected and arranged seventy of his own poems into a little book which will be entitled "Each In His Own Tongue And Other Poems."
The book is now being printed by Putnam & Sons, New York, and will be ready for distribution about December 20th.
WHAT THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS MOST NEEDS
BY HENRY SCHOTT, Managing Editor The Kansas City Times.
In answer to your kind letter, I beg to submit these suggestions:
The University should be supported by a fixed tax, the income growing as the wealth of the state grows. This would put an end to the biennial visit of supplication to Topeka.
The University should be in fact what the law of the state intended it should be: the head of the educational system, with other schools co-ordinate branches. That would avoid the waste of duplication, and happens to be not only the law but common sense as well.
WHAT THE UNIVERSITY MOST NEEDS.
This is not the time for the University to compromise or equivocate. Within the next two years it will be fully decided whether the University is to be one of a half-dozen mediocre institutions or is to be in the Wisconsin-Cornell-California class.
BY W. A. WHITE.
I have your valued favor asking me for my opinion about what the University of Kansas most needs. It seems to me, that the needs of Kansas University now are not so much students, nor buildings, nor football championships, so much as that indefinable something called college spirit. It is bred in a desire not so much to be learned as to be wise. I think the danger of our school and of all state universities is, that they may be mere learning hoppers into which the youths of the states are fed to learn certain definite technical things, such as law, engineering, pharmacy, journalism, chemistry, fine arts and the like. What we need is not lawyers, engineers, druggists, painters and poets, but men and women who can be lawyers, engineers, druggists, chemists, and what not, and still get the best there is out of the world,-the best our civilization offers,-because they have learned to be wise and patient and kind with one another and the world. We need men and women of culture who have skill, rather than, men and women who have merely skill. Our University needs more than anything else so to interest our faculty in the University of Kansas that it will become a religion to them, and this may not be done until the state of Kansas appropriates larger salaries to the teaching force of the University; but give a well paid body of teachers, who will be friends and examples to our studedts, rather than mere temporary preceptors and there will enter into the University a broader college spirit than we now have. That college spirit will make men and women who are capable of enjoying the best that our civilization affords and capable of contributing to that civilization through their professional skill and through their habit of patience, kindly reasonableness in their relations with men; that is more than mere material welfare. Kansas has a right to expect from the State University something more than makers of laws and pills, and molehills, and pictures and rhymes. It has a right to expect from its University graduates, who, as men and women, are willing to sacrifice their comfort and their immediate advantage for ideals. And I feel very strongly that our next development should not reach out towards more students, greater buildings and more gross material substance, but towards a higher ideal of citizenship.
BASKET BALL STARS MANY.
OLD "K" MEN AND NEW MEN OUT FOR TEAM.
The year's schedule is heavy team is on first trip of year at present.
The basket ball outlook at the University is exceptionally good. Many men of experience are trying out for the team and a well balanced team of star players is assured.
Captain Earl Woodward will play one of the guards. He is a star man of two years'varsity experience and is one of the best players in the Missouri Valley. Other men who will try for the squad are Tom Johnson, and Howard Randall, football stars; George McCune, last year's captain and forward; Paul Wolher, a guard and a player who can absorb all kinds of punishment; Roger Peard, a fast, sure player; Robert Heizer, a guard and freshman captain last year; Ralph Bergen, center on last year's aggregation; Don Martindale, a guard and whirlwind player; and Long, an experienced man at the indoor game.
On Monday the team started on its first trip. The men will play with the Normal at Emporia; Fairmont at Wichita; Ottawa University; Newton Y. M. C. A.; Joplin Y. M. C. A.; and with several other teams in southern Kansas. The trip will not end until after Christmas.
T
EARL WOODWARD, BASKET BALL CAPTAIN.
After the preliminary games the schedule is heavy. The first Missouri Valley championship games are with Nebraska in Lawrence on January 8 and 9. On the 13th the Normals play in the gymnasium, on the 16th the Aggies come for a game, and on the 22nd Ottawa will be played at Ottawa. On the 23rd the Jayhawkers meet William Jewell at Liberty, Mo.; and the team meets Nebraska on their own court on January 59th and 30th.
Missouri comes to to University for two games on the 5th and 6fh of February, and on the 10th and 11th Captain Woodward will lead his men against Washington University in St. Louis. On the way home the team will play with Missouri on the 12th and 13th. Washington
Manager Lansdon will probably add a few more games to the list, and if K. U. should win from Washington, Missouri and Nebraska the team would have to play a championship series with the winner of the games between Iowa, Drake and Ames.
University ends the season in Lawrence on Washington's birthday.
GRADUATE CLUB IS ACTIVE
Has Adopted Well Formed Plans for Year.
The Graduate club, composed of members of the graduate school of the University, has organized for the school year 1908-09 with the following officers: President, R. W. Baldwin; vice president, R. J. Ray; secretary, Florence Hedger; treasurer, C. H. Heuser
The club has passed resolutions determining its work for the year, in substance as follows:
"We believe that our unique position both as (in the main) alumni and present students of K. U. gives us a peculiar interest in fostering larger university traditions, and in learning of and supporting the policies for the greater growth of the University. We have determined, therefore, that the program of the Graduate club this year shall be the presentation of and working for plans of the up-building and support of the whole university and the graduate school as a part thereof."
As a first step towards the fulfillment of this policy, Chancellor Strong has presented to the club his plans for a greater university and its needs for the next biennium.
After the holidays Dean Blackmar will speak on the Graduate School and its needs.
The Graduate School was organized in 1896. In the school year 1907-08 it contained 102 members and granted 23 degrees. The annual increase for the last few years has been about 10 per cent. A strong graduate school is the distinctive feature of a true university Only a few state universities have well equipped graduate schools. These few are now the leaders in education in their respective sections of the country.
tions of the country. The Graduate club does not forget the fact that if Kansas university is to be a great university she must have a graduate school of the very highest standing.
"I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man who lives in it so that his place will be proud of him. Be honest, but hate no one; aver-turn a man's wrong-doing, but do not over-turn him unless it must be done in overturning the wrong. Stand with anybody that stands r i g h t. Stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong."

The Song of the Young Men
Oh splendid young world with the garland of youth on thy brow,
The looms of time flash on our sight the bright woof of the Now.
Back, Age, with thy face ever turned to the widening past;
In our veins there runs wine, we have come to our birthright at last:
We will cleanse the old ways with the whirlwind and fire of the new,
And leave the race better and nobler as partios do.
God bends over us with a blessing, we work with a song;
Our cities and bridges and railroads leap, rivited strong,
Into being like magic—Yea, one with the thought we have hurled
Through the length and the breadth of the continents vast of the world
Our parallel ribbons of steel, and our vessels are gone
From the uttermost reach of the west to the gates of the dawn.
We wrestle with forests, they melt like a beam in the night
And pastures of cattle and farmsteads grow into the sight;
Where cannibal savages plundered and crept in the dark,
We have sprinkled our lights, turned the marsh to the well-ordered
Give way to our battleships! grinning through powder and smoke With crack of Martinis we throw off the weight of the yoke. Do mountains detain us? Our faith is our hand and our brain, We level their heights till they touch with the sweep of the plain With steam shovels mighty; we take what the tropics afford Of brown men, shave continents down, leave a coast firmer-shored.
As we pass on the light, one by one the old nations awake:
Like Lazarus, out from the tomb of tradition they break To strike hands with us in our triumph of science and steam:
The day and the action must follow the night and the dream.
Our trumpets are blown and the terrible wind of their blast Overthrows the old tyrannies bastioned deep in the past.
We have shaken down wall after wall, sunless throne after throne,
And truth shall reign ever preeminent, perfect, alone.
And when our joints stiffen, our efforts grow feeble and old You shall see we have fought for ideals 'mid commerce and gold,
And after the din and the dust of the fight will appear Triumphant forever the effort and labor sincere.

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS;
MANY SAW "PRINCESS IDA"
---
FINE ARTS COMIC OPERA HAS THREE PRODUCTIONS.
Carroll Fisk and Helen Janes the Star Performers—Heavy Practices Made Voices Hoarse.
The Fine Arts play, Gilbert and Sullivans "Princess Ida," given in Bowersock opera house on last Thursday and Friday evenings and Saturday afternoon, entertained a large crowd at each performance.
The cast was chosen from the best singers and actors in school but the exertion of hard practice weakened the voices of the singers and robbed many songs of their power. The principals and chorus were all at their ease upon the stage and presented the opera in veteran style. The costumes were ordered especially from New York and were dazzling in brilliancy.
Carroll Fisk, as the hunchbacked Gama, father of Princess Ida, was the star of the performance. He sang catchy songs in a strong, penetrating voice. Helen Janes, who had the title role, sang charmingly and acted well.
Her part was extremely heavy but she carried it well. The other members of the caste who showed up to especial advantage were Ralph Spotts, Delbert Kemp, and Leo Bozell, comic characters and sons of Gama; Helen Giddings as Lady Psyche; Alberta Cresswell as Lady Blanche; Grace Waugh as Melissa; Allen Merriam as Hilarion, the lover of the Princess Ida; and Abe Van Meter as King Hildebrand.
Among the Chorus of Courtiers and Soldiers there were many good male voices. Quay Barnett was especially good; his solo was better rendered than many of the numbers of the principals.
The chorus of Girl Graduates made a distinct hit. Their different costumes were beautiful and appropriate and their songs were catchy. Their soldier costumes and songs deserve especial praise.
The University Orchestra of twenty one pieces, led by Dean Skilton, played the opera music.

COUNTY CLUBS ARE MANY
BANQUETS TO HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS DRAW STUDENTS.
Clubs Will Entertain Members of Legislature and Present Needs of the University.
The county clubs which are organized at the University each year, are becoming more prominent as factors for inducing students to attend the college here than any other means of advertisement. During the Christmas holidays the clubs give banquets to the senior classes of the high schools of their counties. Besides this, football and basketball teams composed of University students arrange for games with the high school teams during vacation time. This all tends to bring the high school people in close touch with University people and their ways. When the prospective college student hears the old yell "Rock! Chalk! Jayhawk! K.! U.!" at these banquets or athletic contests he is imbibed with the true Kansas spirit and all his loyalty is turned to the University of Kansas.
An effort is being made by many of the clubs to secure the state senator or representative from their district to speak at their Christmas banquets. By doing this it is thought that the real position which the University holds in the state can be clearly shown to the legislators, and that they in turn will recognize this and stand by the University when the appropriation bill comes up before the legislature this winter. This is an especially important feature of the work, as it is generally understood that the legislature will either grant an appropriation sufficiently large to make the University the leading educational institution of the state or else it will deny the Chancellor his request and put it on a level with the other state schools.
On account of the short Christmas vacation it would be impossible for the University clubs to entertain the high school people if it were not for cooperative work of the University alumni and alumni clubs. They attend to the details of preparing for the banquets and arranging the schedules for the athletic contests. Thus the only thing left for the active members to do is to arrange for speakers for the banquets and to get their athletic teams in condition to follow out the policy of Kansas, that is, to win.
The county clubs which have organized, elected their officers and have arranged for holiday banquets and athletic contests, with the names of their officers and members of their teams are:
WYANDOTTE.
The Wyandotte county club has eighty-nine members. The officers are: president, Edwin Cooley; vice-president, Kenneth Troup; secretary, Ada May Varney; and treasurer, Amy Green. A banquet will be given

ALL VICTORIOUS FOOTBALLSTARS
TWENTY-ONE MEN REWARDED FOR GRIDIRON WORK.
Members of Premier University Team are Kansans—Short Grass Section Has Its Quota.
To chronicle the events of an ever-victorious football season and to tell of the stalwart Kansas who made possible such a record is a rarity in the University of Kansas. Only once before in our seventeen years of football history has a team won every game on its schedule. The squad of '99 turned the trick, but that year the schedule was so light in comparison with this year's games that Captain Crowell's team of '08 stands out, as the premier of all Kansas teams. With the fiercest schedule of any team in the Missouri Valley the squad plugged along early in the season saving its strength for the mighty games to come. The work in the early part of the year was ordinary, the wildest rooter did not predict what turned to be the truth.
Coach Kennedy,himself frankly said that the team could not win four games in nineteen days from four of the strongest teams in the valley. But the men through natural ability, hard work, good coaching,and, not least of all, the scrimmages with the Freshmen came into their own and placed the University at the head of football in the Missouri Valley.
A REAL FIGHTING IRISHMAN.
"Pat" Crowell, the evervictorious captain, has played his three years on the squad and never did a man do more consistent work. "Pat" is a good man on offense but he stars at defensive work. An opponent might as well assault Gibraltar as try to get through the Irishman. Crowell is a senior in the Law school and received his early training on the Summer County High School team.
THE CLASSIEST OF THEM ALL.
Like his captain Reed is a senior Law and will receive his degree in the spring.
"Tub" Reed, the 230 pound Kansas City boy, is one of the Western players who is classy enough to make a place on the best eastern teams. With speed and versatility added to ponderous avoirdupois he has been the star guard of the valley for two years. "Tub" is always doing something "different" to outwit his opponent and he generally does about what he wants to in a game. If a rooter wants to keep track of the ball just let him glue his eyes on Reed, the pigskin wont be very far from the giant.
HE'S NEVER BEEN OUTPLAYED.
When Donald had played his years on the Varsity "Big Bill" Caldwell was called upon to fill his place and from that day to this he has been a second Donald. Caldwell is no heavy weight but he gives every ounce that he has to his opponent. He's the genuine fighter of the fighters
and has never been licked or outplayed either. He has met the best that these parts afford and has always come out of the fray victor. Caldwell hails from Geneseo, and is a junior engineer.
THE STAR OF THE BACKFIELD.
"Stan" Myers, law, of Fort Scott, is the fastest man on the squad. In 1905 he earned his "K" on Pooler's team but since that time a bad knee has kept him out of the game. "Stan" used to be a track star, clipping off the hundred in about ten seconds.
This year as an offensive and defensive half Myers ranks with the best in our Valley. He carries the ball in great style and always has a hold on the man with the oval to help him along a few inches. He is death on forward pass formations and can fathom the most intricate interference of his opponents.
THE DEFENSIVE STAR.
"Swede" Carlson, the Missouri Valley's star center, made his reputation this year through his "open style" play. When his team is on defense Carlson stands behind the line where his shifty optics can detect the enemy's formation. Then like an eagle he swoops upon it and breaks it up. Last year "Swede" was guard on the team but center is his position.
Carlson is captain and slugger-in-chief of the baseball team. He is another of the law students, and comes from Kansas City, Kansas.
THE MOST VERSATILE MAN
Playing full back, end or nearly any other position on the squad "Billy" Rice is a star. He has played football at one place or another ever since the game was invented and his years of training have made him the wiliest man on the squad. Rice played for K. U. in 1903, again last year and this year. Many critics have picked him for an all Missouri Valley end. "Billy" also is a law and Topeka is his home.
title of "Lucky Jay." The name was undeserved, he was not lucky at all, his speed and ability alone enabled him to do his feats
A PLUNGING, KICKING FULL.
ALWAYS READY AND RELIABLE.
Carl Pleasant, left end, president of the senior class, and a popular man on the hill, earned his first "K" in 1906. Last year he was not in moleskins but he was at his old stand and better than ever this year. "Pleas" somehow always managed to be down the field under punts and passes and he succeeded in capturing not a few onside kicks for gains or touchdowns. His home is at Lyndon, wherever that is, and he is a senior in the engineering school. Like his running mate, Rice, he was chosen by some as an end on the Missouri Valley team.
"Jay" Bond, senior college, of Lawrence, was the end runner of the team. The way he, protected by Johnson, skirted the wings of the opposing line was sensational. Bond is wonderfully fast on his feet and is generally on hand to pick up a fumble, an onside kick or anything else that's straying around loose. This facility to take advantage of every misstep of the opposing team earned him the
THE SENSATIONAL END RUNNER.
Oscar Dahlene, line plunger and place kicker, is another of the Lawrence boys. He probably gained more yards plugging the line than any man on the squad and when the tandem play was called with Oscar carrying the ball the linesman might just as well pull up his stakes. At Nebraska he scored all sixteen points in the first half on two touchdowns and a place kick. He played so hard in that contest that he was out for the rest of the season. Dahlene is a junior engineer. This is his first year on the 'Varsity.
A NEW MAN WHO MADE GOOD.
Carrol Fisk, of Topeka, is one of the members of last year's Freshman team to land a berth on the regulars. He performed consistently at half all season and many a game was featured by his slashing runs. Fisk has two more years at the great game and he will undoubtedly develop into one of the University's greatest halves. He is a Sophomore in the college.
A STAR QUARTER IN ONE YEAR.
"Tommy" Johnson, quarterback, basketball star and track man has been the wonder of the team this year. Never having played any University football he made the quarter position on the jump. As a field general, safety man and punter he ranks high. His feat of returning a punt seventy yards in the Nebraska game opened the eyes of the critics. Since then he has done excellent work. "Tommy" is a native of Lawrence and is a College junior.
A HARDWORKING LINEMAN.
This seasons right guard, Harley Wood, of Ness City, played a hard game all season. Injuries kept him out of some contests but in the Nebraska and Missouri games he was in good shape and held his own. His 180 pounds are well proportioned and he is a formidable opponent. Woods is a senior Law.
A LITTLE FELLOW THAT'S A MAN.
Clarence Steele, the lightest man on the squad, is in many ways one of the best athletes. He is a wrestler of ability and as muscular and wiry as a tiger. Many a big man has run against Steele and come out of the mix up in a bad way. Sub quarter last year, he won his "K" this year at quarter and half. He is a sure tackler and runs interference well.
HE SOLVED THE PEEK-A-BOO.
Steele calls Kingfisher, Oklahoma, his home. He is a junior engineer.
BONE AND SINEW 180 POUNDS.
Tom Stephenson, who won his second letter this year at fullback hits an opposing line like a ton of brick. He alternated with Dahlene this season and played nearly the entire Missouri game. "Steve" is a fair place kicker and breaks up interference in good shape. He comes from Holton and is also a junior engineer.
Ben Hennessey, as first sub line man got his "K" this year. Ben is an end, and a star too. He first achieved fame for breaking up the Nebraska peeka-boo play that was vaunted to be such a terror. Hennessey is a senior engineer from Fulton. If he is back for the squad next year he ought to be a star.
A STAR UNDER POOLER.
"Dick" Waring, senior College, made his "K" in 1905 under Pooler. This year he played right half but did not get into enough games to earn a letter. "Dick" lives in Abilene, out in the short grass country where football was first originated.
DIDN'T HAVE A REAL CHANCE.
Howard Randall, the 200 pound tackle and guard did not have a chance to show what he really could do because there were already tried veterans at his positions. When he did get to play he showed up well and he will be a regular lineman next year. Randall is a College senior and lives in Newton.
PLAYED WELL AT GUARD.
Vaughn Wood, sub guard, is a heavy, well built fellow and played a gilt edged article of football when he got into the game. His home is Burlingame and he is a junior engineer.
A PLUGGING LINEMAN.
The Summer County high school team gave Roy Spear, sub center, his first football training. Spear is a brawny 175 pounder but the performances of Carlson kept him out of the big games and robbed him of his "K." The junior engineering class claims him.
A GOOD END AND HALF.
Frank Ford earned one of the "K. U." sweaters this year by his work in the line. He has sufficient weight to be a good man and next season may see him a regular. He is a middle law.
Albin Houghton, a senior engineer from Cottonwood Falls was kept out of several games this season on account of a sprained ankle. He played some at both end and half and made a good showing.
A GOOD LAWRENCE PLAYER.
THEY'RE NOT ALL LAWS.
Uncle Jimmy's School No Longer Football Mecca.
It has not been so long ago since football player was a term synonymous with law student. In the good old days of Coach Yost, Shorty Hamil and such stars, nearly every member of the squad was studying the legal profession. The law school was the mecca of the gridiron heroes. At that time every school in the country induced all the promising material they could find to enroll as students. Courses in china painting, physical training, and free hand drawing often had to be arranged to accomodate the knights of the moleskins.
Kansas University never did stoop so low as that however. The law school was footballized; that is, the course was put into
such a shape that a football man, with little time to spare on study, could get through with the least possible exertion. All this is now changed. The law school is just as hard to get through as the other ordinary courses. Unless a player wants to become a lawyer, there is no inducement for him to study the law.
Of the twenty-one men rewarded for work on the gridiron this year, nine are taking engineering,the heaviest course on the hill, seven are laws,and five take their work in the college.

THE FRESHMEN PLAYED WELL
SUCCESS OF 'VARSITY DEPENDED MUCH ON TYROS.
Rouse Turned Out Great Team Several Players for 'Varsity Next Fall.
It is hard to analyze a victorious football season, but a critic of the game who has paid any attention to the events of this season must recognize that the Freshman team has never received its share of reward for the ever-victorious team. The first year men, night after night, used the formations of Washburn, Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri against the 'Varsity in order to train the regulars for their opponents. The victory over Nebraska is largely due to the fact that the team had been trained by the Freshmen to meet the Nebraska offense and defense.
Coach Rouse had a fine squad of tyros to work with and the simple truth is that he turned out the best Freshman team since the new one-year residence rule has been in effect. The team ran away with the class championship, defeating the Sophomores 27 to 0 and the undefeated Senior team 12 to 6.
There are several real stars among the new men and every place left vacant on the 'Varsity will be well filled by them next fall. "Big" Smith, right tackle, has the weight and speed of "Tub" Reed and he will be a wonder someday. Davidson, left tackle, will be a likely candidate next fall for a line position. Hackman, at center, plays the same style as does Carlson and his weight almost insures him the regular place at center after the passing of the "Swede." Lovett, the first year captain, is a line plunger of ability and can hold down full-back or a line position on the 'Varsity. Maser is the team's best half-back, and he is speedy and carries the ball for long gains. Brownlee at end is a star of the first magnitude, and he should slip in at end on the 'Varsity next year. Powell on the other wing is scarcely below Brownlee. Heil, the clever little quarter, is fleet and wily, punts well, and can handle the forward pass. Despite his weight, he may some day be a regular.
The Freshman line-up was: Lovett (captain), full back; Allen, right guard; Ahrens, left guard; Smith, right tackle; Davidson, left tackle; Brownlee, right end; Powell, left end; Hackman, center; Heil, quarterback; Maser, right half; Slaymaker, left half; substitutes, Price, A. Smith, Lee, Wilhelm, Lennox, Ellis, Alphin, Veatch, Larson.
"She was a student of Vassar, While he was a Princeton man And during the Newport season, They gathered a coat of tan, Which caused unlimited wonder. Knocker cried 'What a disgrace', For each of the pair were sunburned On the opposite sides of the face." —Exchange.
STUDENTS DO ALL THE WORK
They Collect News, Edit Copy, and Set the Type for the Kansan.
The Kansan is a newspaper of University students for University students. The news is gathered, the type set up, and the paper printed entirely through student enterprise.
The editor is the head of the paper and he is responsible and accountable for everything that appears in its columns. He directs the policy of the paper, writes the editorials, and gives the final revision to the news articles.
The managing editor makes assignments to the board members, and edits the copy that they hand in. The news field is divided up and each reporter has a certain territory that he covers at least once each week, in addition to writing up all special events in his field.
As soon as the news is collected it is given to the student typesetters and put in type. A student runs the paper off the press and immediately student carriers deliver the sheet over town.
The business manager and his two assistants collect all the advertising and pay the expenses of the paper. The press and print shop is owned by the Alumni Association. The circulation manager takes charge of the subscription list, handles all subscription money, and takes charge of the mailing out of the paper.
The Kansan is controlled by the board and a faculty committee of three. The faculty committee examines the credentials of all prospective board members and officers and makes endorsements to the board. The paper is run entirely on the merit system, the best men get on the board by tryouts, and the best board members become the officers.
The Modern Poet.
He sees a glory in each common thing,
And in his heart reigns God's perpetual spring;
He turns not from the present times away
Unto the splendor of a former day;
He seeks not far the life he is to sing,
But lives around him lend his fancy wing
And underneath his voweleed interplay
Men find that he has somewhat still to say. —Harry H. Kemp.
Ben Lebenthal, a freshman, went up to Professor Cady after he had made a poor recitation a few days ago and innocently asked:
"Professor, what is a Pi Phi?"
"Ah that's where you have been spending your time. No wonder you haven't been reciting," replied the professor, and the freshman was afraid to inquire farther lest he incriminate himself in some mysterious species of wickedness.
Many students are speculating on the possibility of a regular annual "all star" party resulting from the one given this year.
MUSICAL CLUBS ARE NUMEROUS
SINGERS AND PLAYERS HAVE OUTLET FOR TALENT.
Many Students Belong to Glee Club, Band, Orchestra, or Mandolin Club.
The Band was at one time a neglected scrap-heap among the musical organizations of the school. The players had only a student leader, who did not give much time to developing the band for his compensation was small. The men had no uniforms, except perchance two or three, which had been brought from their home towns; no music except that which was bought at the time of the founding of North College; and almost no organization. Whenever a visiting athletic team would bring its college band here, ours would not make an appearance at all. But two years ago things underwent a change and a man who is a professional musician was selected to direct the boys. Professor J.C.McCanles was the man and he still holds the reins to the band wagon. This year the band is more fully organized and gives little functions of its own. It is completely uniformed in blue, trimmed with red suits, purchased two years ago. At all athletic events it is on hand. The band receives a share of the student ticket

THE ORCHESTRA.
The University Orchestra is the most representative musical aggregation on the hill. Professors, Fine Art, College, Medic, Engineer, Pharmic, and even the Law students are to be found in the organization. The orchestra is one of the oldest and most able musical organizations connected with the University of Kansas. Professor Chas. Skilton, dean of the School of Fine Arts, is the director. Beginning the year with only a few of the old regulars back in school, he has gathered together and developed a first-class organization. The orchestra is too large to make trips as do the mandolin and glee clubs, but each year it gives two concerts in the chapel. These are heavily attended by students and townpeople. The May music festival would not be complete without the orchestra. The concerts will be given the second term this year. Owing to the heavy practice in the Fine Arts play this fall they did not have time to prepare for a concert the first term. The members of the orchestra and their instruments are: Professor Chas. Skilton, dean of the Fine Arts school, director; Miss Helen Phipps, Prof. A. K. Hubbard, Louis La Coss, George Wright first violins; Helen Hill, Mary Casey, Francis Stevens, second violins; Prof. P. Wernecke, Mary Wheeler, violas; Prof. F. Billings, Milton Demand, Ralph Stevens, violoncellos; John Demand, double bass; Charles Robinson, flute; Harry Elliott Guy Smith, clarinets; John McCanles, Roy Baer, cornets La Verne Palmer, Leroy Martin, french horns; Charles Baird trombone; William Steward tumpani.
GLEE CLUR
The people of Kansas think they have lost a great part of their winter entertainment when they miss the concerts given by the University Glee Club. Each winter this club of glee men, headed by the instructor of the voice department of the School of Fine Arts, goes out over the state and makes the hearts of the people glad and merry. The club always "plays" to large audiences and is received with much enthusiasm by the parents of K. U. students, old friends, old "grads" and others. The management last year "showed" the club in the following towns: Kansas City, Kansas, Bonner Springs, Topeka, St. Marys, Manhattan, Osage City, Peabody, Marion, Emporia, Ottawa, Olathe, Kansas City, Missouri, and Lawrence. This year's organization will tour the state, beginning about the first of February
People who know say the Glee Club concerts given in the chapel December 4 and 5 outclassed those gone before, and judging alone from the attendance numbers it can not be
said that the popularity is diminishing. Nearly 800 people attended the first night's performance and about the same number the second night.
The club is under the management of Edgar Forde, a middle law student. He was a member of the organization last season.
Professor Edward Hubach, graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music and head of the Voice department of the University, is again directing the voices. The members of the club this year are as follows: Harry Sharpe, Gardner; H. W. Hollingsworth, Leavenworth; Fred Hesser, Beloit, first tenors; Homer Conley, Wichita; Irwin Snattinger, Topeka, second tenors; R. L. Douglas, Columbus; Fred Cooper, Newton; Rollin Perkins, Lawrence, first bassos; Harold Harlan, Downs; John Powers, Lawrence; Edgar Forde, Emporia, second bassos; James McNeeley, Topeka, pianist.
MANDOLIN CLUB.
Last year the Mandolin Club made the most extensive tour ever undertaken by a musical organization. Besides making a hit in all the towns visited, the tour proved a financial success. There was never a musical orgnization that advertised the school further or better than the mandoliners.
The faculty decreed last year that in the future the club should have a faculty leader, and the faculty leader, whoever he may be, has taken no steps to organize a club this year.
In view of the club's former popularity, it seems strange that some steps have not been taken by the powers that be to keep up its ancient renown.

HAGERMAN IS OPTIMISTIC
COACH, AS USUAL, THINKS WE CAN BEAT MISSOURI.
Six Old "K" Men Will be on the Track Team But There is Plen-
ty of New Material.
"The 'hodoo' which seems to hover over us when we meet Missouri is bound to go up this year if the eligible men who are able to do so will get out and work. Every man in school who can help us will surely be on hand, for this is one year that we have a chance for a clean sweep in athletics. I feel confident that with the new material we have, we can 'clean' Missouri for she only beat us ten points in the meet last spring, and she has lost many of her best men, including Branham and Cleland. As for us we have even better men to fill the vacancies made by last year's graduating class than we lost," is the way Coach Hagerman expressed himself when asked what he thought about the prospects for a winning track team next spring. Then he added in an earnest, confidential way that he believed many people would consider him over optimistic as usual, but that he sincerely thinks that Kansas will have a winning team.
A rapid survey of the material which Hagerman has at his command this year would indicate that his predictions may come true. Along with this he has a promise from Dr. Naismith that the track in the gymnasium shall be at his disposal all through the winter months. This means much, for in previous years the team has been hampered by basket ball playplaying, and gymnasium classes using the training quarters.
The fact that many of the track men also play basketball, breaks in heavily on the indoor track team. Johnson, Bergen, Martindell and Randall are some of the men whom the coach says he must have to whip Missouri in March. These men are all on the basketball squad and have a good chance of making the team. The loss of these men will be a severe handicap to the team unless the basketball season is finished early enough to give them a chance to train.
The schedule for the track team is the same as last year. Early in March Coach J. P. Hagerman's men will meet Missouri in Convention Hall at Kansas City. A little later in that month the team will be entered in the Kansas City Athletic Club invitation meet. The latter part of April the annual inter class meet will be held. During the month of May Kansas will meet Missouri and Nebraska in dual contests on McCook field. The last contest in which the team will compete is the Missouri Valley Conference meet held in Kansas City the last of May.
Clarence Dennis, of Seneca is to lead the Jayhawker track team this year. He was graduated from the School of Law last spring. He has not been
in school this term but will enter the second semester and do special work in the college. For two years Dennis was a member of the team but did not show himself to be a runner of exceptional ability until last year when he proved himself to be an equal of the great Douglas of Missouri.
MATERIAL FOR THE TEAM.
Of last year's squad there are six "K" men to build a team around. They are: Dennis, Cooley, Cummins, Martindell, Newbold and Wenger. The other men of that squad who are not in school were: Priest (captain), Drake, Coventry, Young, Guthrie, Cohn, Pringle, Parker, Eddy, and Mitchell.
BARNARD
COACH HAGERMAN
Coach Hagerman was graduated from Occidental College, of Los Angeles, in the spring of 06 and came to the University the following fall in the capacity of secretary of the University Y. M. C. A. On account of his interest in athletics he volunteered his services as coach of the track team of the University the next spring. Last year Mr. Hagerman was made instructor of physical education. He has been successful in his efforts to develop a good track team at the University and is popular with the students.
There are fourteen men to add to the six veterans. Two of these, Johnson, a hurdler and pole-vaulter, and Haddock, a crack sprinter, are old "K" men. The others, Stanley Myers, Hamilton, McCoy, Perril, Reynolds, Smith, Heizer, H. Wood, V. Wood, W. Meyers, Huff and Howard, are going to help make a well balanced team. The coach bases his faith for a winning team on the fact that Stan Myers, Johnson, Smith, Haddock and Myers are all eligible for a place.
Dope on the Men.
SPRINTS.
For the dashes, the coach has four men to pick from. Haddock, who earned his "K" two years ago running in these events against Missouri; Stan Meyers, the fast half back of this year's football team; Newbold, who has had a place in these events for two years, and Dennis, the great quarter-miler.
QUARTER-MILE.
Dennis, captain of the team who ran such a great race against the speedy Nebraskans
last year, is easily the first man in this event. From Howard, Perril, Baer and Clark his running mate will be chosen. All these men are fast and the coach says there is no choice.
HALF-MILE.
Bergen, who took second in the half-mile at Missouri last year, is conceded by the coach as the first man for the place. The men who will make a close fight for second place are Badger and Perril of last year's freshman team, and Cain and Richardson.
MILE.
Cooley, who earned his "K" two years ago by breaking the record here for this event, is in good physical condition and is expected by the coach to run in his old time form. McCarty, Allendorfer and Badger, all men of ability, will try for a place.
TWO-MILE.
Cummins, the gamest runner who has donned a Kansas track suit for years, will be in school in time to get his place on the team. He is the man who beat Jackson of Missouri so badly two years ago. From Park, Bosse and Baer the coach thinks he will be able to choose a competent man to run with Cummins.
HIGH HURDLES.
LOW HURDLES.
Johnson, who earned his "K" three years ago in this event is going to try for a place. Martindell took second in two dual meets last year running the hurdles. He will be out for a place. Reynolds, of last year's freshman team, is a good man.
In this event there are five men of equal ability to choose from. Newbold won a "K" by winning the low hurdles in the conference meet at Kansas City last year. McCoy, Grignard, Smith, and Hamilton are the others of the quintet.
HIGH JUMP.
Reynolds, Smith, Johnson, Ruggles, Huff, Heizer and Hamilton are candidates for a place in this event. Any of the men can jump five feet, six inches and the ones that make the team will be point winners. PROAD JUMP
BROAD JUMP.
Martindell won a "K" in the Missouri meet last year by taking first place in the broad jump. Smith and Heizer of last year's freshmen team and Huff and Winters can all do twenty feet or better in this event.
POLE VAULT.
There are four men who are going to try for a place in the pole vault. They are Wenger, Johnson, Peard and Hamilton. Any of these men can vault nine feet six inches.
SHOT PUT.
There are seven men in school who can put the shot close to thirty-six feet. They are H.Wood, Stephenson, V. Wood, Reed, Meyers, Randall and Houghton. The coach says the team will be strong in this department.
DISCUS.
Heizer of last year's freshmen team can hurl the discus 110
feet. Other men who can beat the one hundred foot mark are Meyers, Stephenson and Smith. HAMMER
Meyers, who took first place in the interclass meet for the freshmen last year can throw the hammer 140 feet consistently. Dahlene and Reed are good men in this event too.
RELAY TEAM.
It is of the relay team that Kansas is always proud. This year the coach has nine good men, from which to choose the team. These men are all game runners. They are Dennis, Haddock, Stan Myers, McCoy Bergen, Newbold, Howard, Martindell and Perril.
THE SCOOP CLUB
There is in the University of Kansas eachyear a little group of men who have worked on newspapers before coming to the University and who expect to follow newspaper work after they leave. Last year a club of these men of more or less common interests was formed, bearing the euphonious title of "Scoop" club.
A "scoop", as everyone knows, is a piece of news printed by a newspaper an edition or two before competing newspapers get to it, and the fortunate reporter who can score a scoop on an opponent has his job cinched for another week at least—unless before that time elapses he should allow himself to be scooped. It can readily be seen that the word "scoop" is synonymous with steady job, ready money, and other delectable things know: in the newspaper profession chiefly for their scarcity. This accounts for the name being adopted by the association of men who sometime hope to enjoy the things the name stands for.
The members of the club in conjunction with the classes in journalism issued one number of a Lawrence paper, an edition which gained a wide notice over the state through its exposure of violations of the prohibitory law in Lawrence. After a period of excitement and discussion the term of court was called in which the members of the club went into court and proved every allegation made in their paper.
Now members elected this year are Allen Merriam, of Winfield, Oscar Stauffer, of Emporia, Clarence V. Drake, of Piedmont, Geo. B. Waters, of Galena, Murdock Pemberton of Emporia, and John Brownlee, of Wichita.
Of the men who were members of the club last year, Wallace Hovey is a reporter on the St. Joseph News-Press, Jerome Beatty is with the Kansas City Journal, Carl H. Young is with the Kansas City Times, Roy Roberts is city editor of the Lawrence World, and Brock Pemberton is on the staff of the Emporia Gazette.
Henry Clay Waters is president of the club for this year, J. W. Murray is vice-president, and Claud A. Clay is secretary and treasurer.

SOCIETY.
While University parties are not as a rule, formal there are during each year a number of functions which are elaborate and which would be a credit to any metropolitan "Society Column."
None of the parties are unduly formal for it is impossible for a crowd of students to lose their good democratic spirits even under the stress of "fussy" clothes and high collars.
The banquet to the football men was one of the largest affairs of its kind ever given here. It was especially delightful because it was a change from dancing parties. If given annually it will be placed on the Social register as one of "the functions."
The spring parties will all be given at Fraternal Aid Hall except the Phi Gam party which will be a pavillion dance.
Besides the so called Spring Parties there are a number of annual banquets given. The Betas have a Turkey Pull, the Phi Delts, a Matinee Mess, the Phi Gams a Pig Dinner, and the Sigma Chis a Hallow'een Masquerade Dance. All these parties are limited to the individual fraternities but at the spring parties we find all the University people represented.
The Junior Prom is probably the most looked-forward-to event in the year. Committees work for months preparing for it and their labors are surely well paid. It comes April 29 this year. While entirely democratic it is a sought-for privilege to attend the Prom. Its distinct individuality makes it the crowning social event of the year.
The fraternities and sororities who will give spring parties this year with the dates are: Beta Theta Pi, January 8; Kappa Alpha Theta, January 29;
Sigma Chi, February 19; Sigma Alpha Epsilon, February 12; Pi Beta Phi, February 26, Kappa Kappa Gamma April 16; Sigma Nu, April 29; Phi Gamma Delta May 7.
DEUTSCHER VEREIN AND CERCLE FRANCAIS
German and French Departments Give Plays Annually.
The faculty and students of the German department have a Deutscher Verein which meets every Monday at 4:30 in Fraser Hall. At these meetings faculty members and outside visitors give short talks, students read essays and recite German poetry and sing German songs. Every word spoken in these meetings is in German. The organization has a student president and a student secretary. These officers are changed every month.
The Cercle Français is supported by the French faculty and students. At the regular Tuesday meetings a topic for discussion is assigned and under the direction of a leader the Cercle discusses the topic in French.
The French and German departments present plays each year. This year's plays will be given in the spring.
So It Seems.

UESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1908.
"THE aim and final goal of education is the uplifting of the WHOLE people."
These are the words of President J. D. Schurman of Cornell, uttered in an address delivered at the University of Missouri December 11. How near is this statement an expression of the modern ideals of education and how is it applicable to the University of Kansas?
Platitudinous praise of the work of one's self or of one's institution is the commonest and cheapest thing in the world. With glittering generalities, defenders of education have from the beginning answered those who reproached higher learning as a tawdry thing existing apart from the general welfare of the great mass of mankind, and a luxury fit only for the idle few.
How has the University of Kansas met the ideal of modern education? What has it done for Kansas people? Is it possible to measure what it has accomplished in terms of human welfare?
It has saved the people of Kansas $100,000 on oysters alone, used during the last year. Experiments performed in University laboratories showed that Kansas people were buying thousands of gallons of water at oyster prices. A law was originated by the University, passed, and is now being enforced, and Kansans now eat scientifically packed oysters.
Chinch bugs and green bugs, former pests of Kansas farmers, have almost disappeared from the state. Leslie's Weekly says the scientific department of the University of Kansas saved the people of the state $10,000,000 in one year alone, in the yield of cereal grains. That is twenty times the cost of maintaining the University.
By scientific methods it destroyed the grasshopper crop of Kansas and the alfalfa crop increased $12,171,610 a year.
By its discoveries in adulteration in spices alone and the consequent enactment of legislation, it is saving the people $50,000 a year, besides removing a great menace to the health of the people.
Its medical department has discovered a method for the study of tuberculosis bacteria, one at a time. Medical men have been working on this discovery for years. If it results in a cure for the dread disease consumption, who then will try to measure the work of the University in dollars and cents?
The University of Kansas through its social and political science department has had laws passed which have systematized the work of the charitable organizations of the state and is annually saving the people $40,000. It is impossible to figure in dollars the good that has come to the state through the work of this department. In the legislation regarding penal institutions, the alleviation of the conditions of those who work for corporations, legislation which restrains the rapacity of individuals and legislation seeking to correct political inequalities, it has assumed a leadership.
The juvenile court law was the work of this department. It is annually saving the people of Kansas vast sums of money, besides rescuing thousands of Kansas boys and girls from criminal careers.
In the reclamation of Kansas land, in the movement for good roads, in the conservation of the state's resources, the University is constantly exerting a pressure to secure legislation.
water as a result of the University. The state board of health has imposed upon the University work, which otherwise would cost many thousands of dollars, connected with the water supply and sewage systems of manyinas towns. The University has been instrumental in changing the water supply in many communities and in this way has rendered a vast service in the prevention of disease.
The University of Kansas has become a potent and necessary administrative body in the enforcement of much of our modern legislation. The pure food and drug law could not be enforced without the aid of the chemical department. For the first time Kansas has pure milk, pure food and pure water as a result of the University.
disease. The mining department has made investigations into the cause of coal mine explosions and is working on a method of prevention which when the work is completed, may be of priceless value to that great industry.
The University of Kansas has turned out 3259 graduates. Over five hundred of these are teachers. There is hardly a high school in the state that does not number in its faculty a graduate of the university. By the close contact which the University maintains with secondary schools, the standard of education has been greatly raised. In this way has the
University added materially to the welfare of thousands of Kansas people.
The University of Kansas is awake to the fact that state education should not be for only the fortunate few. As a result, it has established university extension courses in Kansas communities, it has sent lecturers out into the state to give to the people the knowledge it possesses on scientific subjects. More and more it is becoming a school of correspondence furnishing to the citizens of the state information that will be of practical service in every line of industry which the state affords.
In the vocational departments it is meeting the demands of modern education. Yearly it turns out from its professional and technical schools hundreds of young men and women able to cope with the severe problems of modern society.
These in brief are a few of the multitudinous good things which the University of Kansas has brought to the people of this state. In specific terms it would be impossible to measure the manifold accomplishments of this institution. It has and is daily coloring for good every human activity within the borders of the state and spreading its sphere of influence far beyond the confines of Kansas soil. But what it has done in the past is only a scintilla of what it may accomplish in the future. The ideal university would be the one whose ramifications permeate into every crevice of human endeavor. With President Schurman, of Cornell, the University believes that the greatest of the humanities is humanity. With Upton Sinclair, it should agree that the only vital man is he who adds something to the welfare of the race. Knowledge for knowledge sake is an anachorism, not to be indulged in at the expense of the state. This, however, is not saying that the humanistic studies do not have the same place in the state university that the scientific subjects have.
useful fixture in the lifting alarms of modern life. How to raise the standard of life. How to alleviate the misery of millions. How to add to the productivity of human labor. How to secure justice, political, economical and social, for poor as well as rich. How to eliminate disease. How to plant a school-house where now stands a jail and a library in place of an alms-house. These are some of the many problems which the education of the future should and must wrestle with. If they are ever to be solved, it must be by higher education. Black pessimism indeed it would be to say they never will be solved. The University of Kansas has done much and will in the future do infinitely more to solve these mighty problems of human welfare.
The University of Kansas is engaged in the work of making men and women. Men and women capable of going out into life and by application of the knowledge gained here, to conditions that surround them, adding to the happiness of their fellows. Progress has eliminated the dialectician as a useful fixture in the lilting affairs of modern life.
--lose by far the largest number. We have now worked ourselves up to a pitch where we can moralize. It is sad indeed to see a young man make a failure in the first battle of life. It makes one melancholy to see so many in the first little gale on the sea of life dash against a long seen rock, "and in an instant hear the billows roar a sunken ship."
A few more days and then home—home. Were you ever a freshman? If you were not you have missed half of the joy of living. It is worth all the hardships, all the tribulations, all the pangs of homesickness, all the vague fear of flunking, all the weary hours of bugging for quizzes, all the taunts of mathematics professors, all the red marks on labored themes, all the inhumanity of deans, just to enjoy for one whole week the pleasurable anticipation of going home. And just think, two weeks with nothing to do but attend parties, given in honor of "our K. U. students" and turkey dinners on Christmas and New Years day. And just think, how proud we will be of ouselves as we strut down the village street. We are no longer freshmen. We have come back into our own. For two weeks we are appreciated at our true value. We have discarded the blue cap. We have changed since we left home three months ago. Our coat hangs a little better. We have cultivated a pompadour. But all too quick the two weeks flit by, and then it is back again to our humble position.
But alas—we will not all return. Some have read the signs of failure at the end. They will not have the courage to brave it to the finish. Some, like captives freed, will not return to their slavery. It has always been so. We suppose it always will be. Weak eyes will cause the University to lose by far the largest number.
So freshmen, and a few others may ponder well this advice, come back and brave it to the end. Work is the best antidote yet discovered for flunkers. It is a sure cure, if taken in proper quantities.
THE University of Kansas this year is asking the legislature for a total appropriation of $1,149,259. For maintenance for the next two years it asks $757,971; for repairs of buildings $80,288, and for new buildings $311,000. This is an increase of $368,424 over the appropriation made for the last biennium. The greatest increase in the appropriation asked for is that of general maintenance. Here the increase is thirty-three percent.
This increased demand of the University on the treasury of the state looks big and it is big, but it must be remembered that the enrollment has increased nearly twenty-five percent and that in addition to this the University has taken up a vast amount of work, such as the pure food and drug analysis and water and sewage work of the state, which requires money to carry on.
Students of the University when they go home for the holidays, should bear these facts in mind. The educational institutions of the state are rapidly growing institutions and in this regard are unlike other state institutions. Of course this is a fact which is always hard for a legislature to understand. If the students of the University when they go home put forth their best efforts for the school of which they are a part, there should be no trouble in securing the appropriation the University asks for and must have if it is to continue its growth.
BASE BALL
SIX "K" MEN BACK FOR THE GAME.
Mills Ebright, Former League Star to Coach Team Many Good New Men.
The base ball prospects for the coming year are bright. Several of last season's "K" men are back, and the freshman squad, and ball talent that has not before turned out will fill all vacancies.
Captain Ben Young, first base Hoffman, pitcher; Avery, third base; and Jennings, short stop; will all be out of the game. Rockerfeller, catcher; Gibbs, second; Harlan, pitcher; and Captain Carlson, Doubleday and Harvey, fielders; all letter men will be out for positions in the spring.
Among the likely new men the best are Tom Johnson and Harley Wood, of the foot ball team, and Lovett, Walker, Riling, Brain, Blacker, and Burdick of last year's freshman squad.
Mills Ebright has been secured by the management to coach the ball tossers in the spring. In 1904 Ebright coached the winning Baker team, and for the past three years he has been the mentor for the Missouri squad. The coach is a student in the law school, and used to be a professional ball player. His position was in the infield.

GOOD GOVERNMENT
CLUB
The Good Government club is a society organized for the purpose of studying practical politics. It is a national organization and there are local clubs in all the leading universities of the country. Municipal, state and national problems are studied and discussed at the meetings of the club.
R. L. Douglas is the president of the Good Government club of the university of Kansas, Walter Brown is vice president, and Burton Sears is secretary. Chester Ramsey, Watson Campbell, and H. Clay Waters compose the governing board.
The club has held only a few meetings this year, but will begin holding regular meetings during the holidays. Congressman Clayton of Alabama, who was permanent chairman at the national democratic convention at Denver last summer, addressed the club early in the fall. It is the policy of the club to get in touch as closely as possible with practical politicians, to listen to addresses from the most prominent ones who can be secured, and learn as much as may be of the reasons why things are done as they are in politics and the various influences that have a bearing upon every political situation.

NEW BUILDINGS FOR ENGINEERS
Civil and Electrical Mining and Mechanical and Power Structures.
Many Well Equipped Laboratories New Structures — Ready Next September.
Three new buildings will be added to the eleven now on the University campus by the first of next September. All of these will be for the use of the engineering school and will be located west of Robinson's gymnasium. When these buildings are opened for occupancy all the engineering departments of English, foreign languages and mathematics will be moved to the main engineering building. This is to be done because under the present system of hours the buildings are too far separated.
Two of the buildings, the one known as the saw tooth building and the other as the engineering building, are being constructed in such a way that additions can be built to them when needed.
built to them when needed The engineering department will ask the legislature to appropriate money for an electrical laboratory to be added to the saw tooth building. The east wing of the main building is arranged so that it can be extended 150 feet to the south It was built principally for the civil engineering and mechanical departments.
The Engineering Building.
The main engineering building when completed and fully equipped will cost $90,000. This building is so planned that the weight of the floors rest on the main walls of the building. If a change of partitions is wanted it can be effected without impairing the strength of the building in the least. The floors are of the slow burning mill construction resting on beams doubled, with a fireproof deadener of asbestos between them. The basement has a concrete floor. The fourth floor is finished with the under side of the roof beams, thus economizing every foot of space in the building.
foot of space in the building This is the only building on the campus which is adequately provided with offices for the instructors, there being fourteen of these. There are fifteen class rooms, six drawing rooms, three blue print rooms, five laboratories, one locker room for the civil engineers, ont lecture room and a library and reading room in the building.
The general features of the floor plans and the location with regard to the other buildings on the campus was worked out by Dean Marvin of the engineering school. The detailed drawings were made by John H. Stanton, state architect.
The drawing rooms on the fourth floor will be lighted by skylights. the others will be fitted with powerful Gem lamps which will be so distributed that the intensity of the light will not vary over five per cent in any part of the room. Two of the blue print rooms are to be for sum printing and the other one for electric printing. In the C.E. locker room there will be a complete set of field instruments in a single locker so that each field party will have a full set of instruments all the time.
The lecture room is to have a seating capacity of four hundred people. It will be fitted with a permanent lantern and the windows will be arranged for darkening the room when desired. It will be seated with the best type of portable chairs. The room was not made in the ampitheatre style, so it will be possible at any time to clear the floor and make a general utility room of it. The purpose is to have the engineer's social functions at this place.
A materials, a concrete, a cement, a sanitary and a road materials testing laboratory will be locat
ed in the basement. The feature of these laboratories is the mammoth 200,000 Olsen Universal testing machine with extension table in the materials testing division. It will take a twenty foot beam, columns up to ten feet and a tension piece up to eight feet.
The building is to be heated hy a combination of fan driven hot air and direct coil radiators. There are to be two systems of electricity in the building, one a direct 220 volt current for power and the other one an alternating 110 volt current for lighting purposes. The ordinary 16 candle power incandescent carbon filament light will be used except in the drawing rooms which are to have 100 candle power Gem lamps, so arranged as to give an even light.
Mining Building.
The mining building, being erected between the gymnasium and the new engineering building, will cost when completed over 850,000. The structure will look much like Green hall.
With two stories and basement the department of geology and mining engineering will be well housed. The building will be in two parts separated by a space of seven feet. In the large main part will be located the offices of the faculty, the museum and the large recitation rooms. Laboratories of all description will be profuse in all parts of the building.
The smaller part will be one story and basement and here will be located the mining laboratories equipped for all kinds of testing and experimental work
A feature of the structure will be a fire proof vault where valuable manuscripts on research work may be safely kept. The windows will be large and high and the rooms will be well lighted.
The miners can move into their new home next September.
Saw-tooth Building.
The saw-tooth building, being built at the extreme southwest corner of the campus, will be the home of the new power plant and the engineering laboratories. When completed the building will be made up of five bays, but for the present but two of these will be finished. The power plant will be in the south bay and the mechanical engineering laboratory will be fitted up in the north ones. P.F. Walker, professor of mechanical engineering, and director of the shops, will have charge of the work in the building.
Power Plant.
The power plant is to be equipped with the best procurable machinery. These are to be two Bonus-Kennicott water tube boilers fitted with Green economizers. The boilers are so arranged that the feed water to the boiler is heated by flue gasses, thereby economizing on the amount of heat required for the boilers. They are also equipped with automatic feeders for the furnace. In the boiler room there is to be a 100-horse power Sterling water tube boiler to be used for experimental purposes. With regard to this boiler, it is so arranged that tests connected with steam generation and the prevention of smoke can be made. Several styles of grates are to be used in the furnaces to determine which is the most economic one for Kansas coal. All the apparatus for the boiler room is to be arranged so that it may be used for experimental work.
In the engine room there is to be a 150 kilowatt direct connected cross compound Ball engine which will operate a 150 kilowatt wire direct current Western electric generator. The current thus derived will be used for driving the motors in the different university buildings. This current may also be converted by a motor generator set into an alternating current and then used for lighting purposes. In addition to these there is to be

There will be research rooms for special investigations.
HARRY KEMP---POET
In southern Kansas near the town of Hutchinson in a quiet country graveyard rises a modest tombstone worn by the sun and rain of twenty-two years. Unknown, unnoticed, the one whose grave it marks has slept all these years under sunny, changing Kansas skies.
In 1886 a humble contractor of Youngstown, Ohio, moved with his family to Hutchinson. The family consisted of father, mother and the three-year-old son. They left their home in Ohio and came to Kansas in the hope that the change in climate would cure the disease of consumption, with which the wife and mother was afflicted. But the disease had gone too far, and, in a few short months the wife died and was buried at Hutchinson. The father, Wilbert Kemp, and his three-year-old son Harry returned to their home in Youngstown, Ohio.
At Mount Hermon.
Five years ago, a tall, gaunt, long-haird youth was strolling about the grounds of Mount Hermon, a school founded by Dwight L. Moody for boys in Massachusetts. He always had under his arm a volume of Keats or Byron. When he could be induced to study the modern languages in the classroom, he used a text book written by William Herbert Carruth of the University of Kansas. He had noted the fact that Professor Carruth was a Kansan. He had not forgotten that his mother was buried in the same state. He had admired the book and he longed to return to the state where his life had ended its first epoch and begun a new one at the age of three. First, he started for Chicago University, but when he reached there, the desire to come to Kansas was with him and grabbing an "outbound freight," he started south.
Begius "Hobo" Life.
But let us continue the romantic story of his life where we left it. After he returned to Youngstown, Ohio, his father left him and went to Arlington, New Jersey, to secure work in a celluloid factory. Until Harry was twelve years old, he lived with his grandmother in Youngstown and then went to join his father at Arlington. He remained here four years. In the winter time working in the factory and in the summer time "hoboing it" around the adjacent country. Here he also attended school until he reached the sixth grade. In the meantime he had been studying Latin and Greek and had become a disciple of Keats and Byron. The last year he spent at Arlington, he attended the high school, but was dismissed for playing boyish tricks.
Then he left home, not to return until he had circled the earth and experienced the vicissitudes that sound more like an adventure tale from the imagination of Robert Louis Stevenson than the actual story of two years in
"I have rotted three long months in a steel-barred Texan jail,
"And felt the bitter mockery of law."
Again at Mount Hermon.
When he escaped from the clutches of the law, he went to Mount Hermon, Massachusetts, and remained a year and was a second time dismissed from school, because, as he says, his heterodoxy did not suit the conventional religious views of the institution. Then seeking the school where the methods of thinking were congenial to his scattered, but rebellious ideas of the future, he went to Elbert Hubbard's settlement at East Aurora, N.Y. He did not remain here long as he had trouble over a poem which he asserts Elbert Hubbard had used without giving him credit. He then returned to Mount Hermon for another year, but was again asked to leave. It was then that he decided to go to Chicago University, but eventually came to Kansas. This is, in brief, the narration of the more prominent events in the life of Harry Kemp, poet and student in the University of Kansas.
lived off and on until a few weeks ago.
When Harry Kemp reached the University of Kansas in the winter four years ago he was "broke". He had come from Chicago on a freight train and existed as a tramp on the journey. When he arrived here he went to Professor Carruth, who gave him temporary assistance and helped him in securing a place to work for his board. The next two years, he says, was a time of despair. Professor Carruth taught him how to milk a cow and he secured a job of milking and doing chores and held it, he says, until the cow went dry owing to his inability to get all the milk. He lost his position as milkman and went to stay with a restaurant keeper by the name of "Bony Lowne", with whom he has
Came Here on a Freight.
Is Now Prosperous.
He is now more comfortably situated than ever before since he left his grandmother's home in Youngstown, Ohio, and is having success with his poetry and has also entered the lecture field where he is making some money. But it has been a long struggle and Kemp may claim that he has as well as genius that rarer quality of self abnegation. Destitute of money, housed in a bare cold room, the floor littered with notices of rejected manuscripts, the writer saw him often during this time of his extreme poverty. One night he says he actually contemplated ending all his misery, but hope of success held back the fatal deed.
Walked to Emporia.
It was soon after this that he went to Emporia to spend Thanksgiving day with Charles Vernon, a student in the University, who was a great friend of William Allen White. Miss Ida Tarbell, of the American Magazine was in the city at the time and Harry accompanied her to the theatre on Thanksgiving eve. He had walked all the way to Emporla and that too without a hat. These eccentric performances attracted attention in the newspapers of the country and from this time on the journey of life became somewhat smoother for the poet.
Seventy Poems Published.
Harry Kemp has had published in the New York magazines during the last two years no less than seventy poems. At the present time he has a contract with one magazine to furnish a poem each month, and several other publications are accepting his poetry regularly. At the instigation of some of the literary people of New York city he is now engaged in compiling a collection of his poems for publication in book form.
Kemp prides himself on being the poet of modern life. Most of the poems he has had published deal with modern industrial conditions. A span of a bridge, a child dying in a coal mine, the hum of machines, the clang of anvils, a lurid flame of fire belching from a blast furnace, clouds of lowering smoke pierced by factory smoke stacks are all more poetical to the mind of Harry Kemp than the the fables of mythology or the scenes of nature. Kemp is fond of nature and its beauties, but he says he loves human life more and human life is artificial. He hates, he detests the artificiality of society which grinds the toilers to a life of misery. A number of his published poems have been euologist of the workers of the world. "The Toilers' Dead" appeared in The New York Independent.
Let us raise up a monument to these
Such as a monarch for his tomb decrees.
They did not perish in a patriot war
With glory leading onward like a star
Nor for some cause, pre-eminent,
alone.
Die and their fame in human hearts
enthrone.
No! But upon their bones our cities rise
No! But upon their bones our cities rise
That, towering, take the morning from the skies.
Untold, unknown, innumerous brotherhood.
They have cemented empires with their blood.
They have gone down with roaring in their ears.
To dedicate with death our outflung piers,
And where great-breasted ships now sail the sand
They clove a path asunder through the land
With a thousand flashing picks, while as with fire
Their bones were racked with aches and fevers dire.
They hewed the forests down and cleared the ground
Where now the wheels of industry resound;
Beneath the crashing tree oftimes fell
And knew nor funeral train nor passing bell.
Deep in the din, wide-washing seas they sleep.
Having sowed their bones that luxury might reap.
They knew the mad machine, the Moloch mill,
Vociferous, has slain and slays them still,
And where the hot blast lights the sky with flame
They perish day by day, unknown to fame.
Let us seek out the noblest spot on earth
And, Eiffel-like in height, of pyramid girth,
Rear up, tremendous, to salute the sun,
Some witness of the perished million
Who went down unto death with none to cheer
And with their lives bought all we prize as dear,
This wonder and this glory and this shame
Called "civilization" when tongues name the name.
Let us build up a monument to these
Such as a monarch for his tomb decrees.
Writes of Modern Life.
Because of the injustice and inequalities he sees all around him Kemp is a socialist. He doesn't stop to ask why socialism is a balm for social wrongs. He only sees the fact that gross social wrongs do exist and he condemns them in harsh tones. But he has too firm a belief in the principals of evolution to be a radical revolutionist. As all socialists Kemp hates a pessimist but not much worse than he does an optimist. He is a meliorist and believes the world is growing better, but only by efforts of man. Conscious, unceasing, uncompromising war with the present wrongs and the traditions that bind us to them is the only means of progress.
Belief in God.
Harry Kemp is not an atheist; he is not a believer in all the teachings of Christianity. He believes in a God. He says he knows there is a God, and will not for that reason allow himself to be called an agnostic. But he will not attempt to define his God. He says the Creator he reverences cannot be measured by earthly standards. His only religion is truth—truth as taught by modern science. He believes firmly in an immortal soul. In a short poem "God and the Soul" he says:
But let the universe Back into darkness roll. Two lights death cannot dim, God and the Soul. His contempt for the formalities and egotistic claims of
orthodox religion is told in two stanzas of an unpublished poem to God:
I cannot measure Thee, I cannot span
With my poor reach of thought thy smallest plan;
I will not set Thee on a crystal throne.
And dress Thee in the attributes of man.
Man sought to measure Thee and parcel out
With rapid fires which withered human hearts
False portions of Thee, hedged Thee round about
And flamed up hotly in the face of doubt.
While recognizing in the wonders all about him the creations of a divine Being the poet humbly admits his inability

Before Suicide
[This poem was written when Mr. Kemp was in a melancholy mood and was contemplating playing the role of Chatterton.—Ed.]
[This poem was written when Mr. Kemp was in a mel-
mood and was contemplating playing the role of Chatterton.~
Life is a vain dream, over in a day,
A thirst of soul a drink of death doth slake;
Life is a cloud the light wind bears away,
A murmuring in sleep before we wake.
They err who say the body doth not hold
And clog the spirit with its baser clay;
Tho reasons they adduce an hundred fold:
'Twixt body and soul there is no wedding day.
Still is the soul a white-limbed captive, bound,
To rank desires and evil lusts a prey.
And my soul is an hunger to be free From bonds that thwart and accidents that mar, And while the body nought but earth doth see, She, like a being from another star, Is blind to all but immortality And is with flesh continually at war.
She would untrammeled be to do some deed Which God required of her, somewhere, sometimes. Constrained to countenance the body's need, She frets and pines—it is thus with all men; Their minds must rankle and their hearts must bleed Because the soul is heaven's denizen.
Draw near, my immortality, draw near! I bring upon myself the final hour. Already Death's portentious tread I hear And tremble in the presence of his power.
Already down the corridors of time
Nearer and nearer comes his ghostly tread...
Yea! his vast presence, solemn and sublime,
Draws nigh to add me to the uncounted dead.
Nearer and nearer comes his ghostly tread
I welcome him with pleasure born of dread:
Pleasure—I might meet great ones gone before;
Dread—Lest Death be a sea without a shore.
I cast me down from heights of high despair And storm the mysteries of Death and God, For all philosophy is empty air Founded on guesses dark leading nowhere, And futile is each rounded period.
The puzzle tempts me and I long to die;
The riddle of life doth for solution call;
I am an hunger to probe out the "why"
And understand—or nothing know at all.
When first I came into the world, I came,
Into the seventh Heaven of song up-caught
Pure-hearted, noble-minded—and I thot
To burn thru all the nation as a flame.
But Poverty dulled the sharp edge of my thot,
They dipped my robes of innocence in shame;
Men used my garden as a garbage plot
And mocked my name.
And day by poisonous day the gradual stain Gained on my soul. And struggle hard and long Banished imagination from my brain And stole a daily glory from my song.
And now I lay my weary effort down;
I cease, the shell of what I might have been,
And forth I go, lacking that starry crown
Which my fond Boyhood often dreamed to win,
Forever imperfected now my plan!
The harmony is broken up within.
And here, upon the threshold of the man
I mount my last sad step, put out the light,
And bid the world, and life, and all goodnight—Goodnight! Oh Life, Oh Light!
Oh World! Oh Love! Goodnight!

Y.M.C.A.DOES GOOD WORK
ASSOCIATES ITSELF WITH SPIRITUAL AND SOCIAL LIFE.
Since J. P. Hagerman Has Been Secretary the Organization Made Strides Ahead,.
With J. P. Hagerman continuing as secretary, and with Myers hall as the place for holding its Bible and Mission Study classes and the regular Thursday night prayer meetings,the Y'. M.C.A. is better than ever equipped for looking after the social, intellectual and religious needs of the boys of the University.
A large crowd assembled at the annual social held during the first week of the school year; the students' hand books were distributed at that time, and the new men met each other and the upper class men.
Addresses have been given at the mid-week meetings by different members of the faculty, and ministers of Lawrence and occasionally the boys have had informal discussions among themselves
The Association is exerting itself to make the weekly Sunday afternoon vespers service a center for the religious life of the school. The University of Kansas is the pioneer among the universities in conducting such services which have heretofore been held but once a month. The weekly service allow the students to hear representative men of the various denominations, as well as a high quality of instrumental and vocal music.
The banquet given to the football team under the direction of the Y. M. C. A., was one of the most successful stunts ever pulled off on the hill, and it is bound to be an annual affair.
The membership of the Association is somewhat larger than last year, at this time, and by the end of the school year over 500 men will have paid their fees.

BELL BROTHERS PIANO CO.. Gentlemen: I had the pleasure of using one of your Pianos several months ago and was delighted with the effect which your interposed spring produced in the action. It gives the keys a liability under the fingers that is very desirable. When I find it your hard to develop is that, in order
lighted with the effect which your interposed spring produces, pliability under the fingers that is very desirable. Which I find it very hard to develop is that, in order to bring out a strong tone of good quality under a heavy pressure touch, the knuckle or writes should yield or spring a little, just as the key is struck. The simple little invention of yours helps to accomplish this result in the action.

DR. NAISMITH HAS NEW PLAN
In New York During Holidays He Will Spring Innovation.
Physical Director Hopes to Develop More Athletic and Track Men.
During the Christmas vacation Dr. James Naismith, Professor of Physical Education at the University of Kansas,will give a detailed report of his new system of class competition in athletics at the meeting of the Directors of Physical Education, of the universities and colleges of the United States, to be held in New York City. He has been working on the plan for some time and has now completed a system for track and cross country running competition. By the time he makes his report he will also have a scheme for basket ball playing which will give the class, which has the greatest number of teams and the most efficient players, the championship.
M. J. BURTON
DR. JAMES NAISMITH.
Dr. James Naismith, professor of physical educatin and chaper director came to the University in 1898," from Gross university of Denver, Colorado. In 1892 while at a training school for physical directors, in Springfield, Massachusetts, he invented the game of basket ball which has become so popular as a college game. With the beginnig of shool this year he formulated the system for class competition in athletics which he will make public at New York City, December 22.
When Dr. Naismith was asked about his new scheme he said: "No doubt my plan will receive much criticism when I make it known, just as my theories concerning the possibility of playing basket ball were ridiculed, but I think it is a good one and I intend to use it here. We have been working with it here this year and it has come up to my expectations. The system in so arranged that every man in each class may make points which will count for his class. The old system of choosing a team to represent a class does not show the relative ability of the of the different classes, it merely shows the strength of a few men of one class compared with that of a few men of each of the other classes. I propose to show the athletic strength of all the men of one as it compares with that of all the men of another class.
"Besides doing this from my plan, new material will be found which will help solve the problem of picking likely candidates for the university track team. You see when a man enrolls for track work we have him do all of these events, the 100 yard dash, the quarter mile run and the high jump; he is graded by the ability he shows in the work. The keenness of class competition stimulates his efforts and if he has exceptional athletic ability we soon find it out and then turn him over to the track coach who will develop his form and make him a valuable athlete."
Competition in Track.
The plan which Dr. Naismith is now using for class competition in athletics is simple after it is explained. He has a large chart with the names of all the men enrolled in gymnasium classes upon it. Opposite the list of names are three columns in which the record of each man's performance in the 100 dash, the quarter-mile and the high jump is kept. The number of points made in each event is determined in this way: A man who runs the 100 yard dash in 14 4-5 seconds is allowed 5 points, for every fifth second he takes off this time 5 points are added to his record; thus if he runs the distance in 11 seconds his score is 100. In the quarter-mile, if the entry can run it in 79 seconds he gets 5 points, for each second of time he lowers his record he gets 5 points reaching a perfect score at 54 seconds. The high jump is treated the in same manner, at three feet seven inches 4 points are given, for each additional inch made 4 points are added to his record, a perfect score is made when the entry jumps 5 feet 7 inches. At regular intervals competitions are held and each man gets a chance to better his record, he does not lose his previous record, however, if he fails it at these trials.
At the end of each month the scores that the members of each class have made are added up and compared; the class having the greatest number of points wins the competition for that month. Also the number of men competing in each class is compared. Besides this the individual records of the members of one class are compared with the individual records of the members of the other classes. It is by the use of this system that Dr. Naismith hopes to stimulate interest in class athletics and also to develop men for the track teams.
Cross Country Running.
Generally in an interclass cross country running, the class which has the best man wins the race. Dr. Naismith's plan adds another requisite to this one, making the race also dependent upon the number of entries. If 50 men enter a race, the man crossing the tape first will get fifty points, the second man will get forty-nine points, and so on, down to the last man, who will get one point. This plan, he thinks, will induce more men to run, for each man is sure of making something.

Professor E. W. Murray, of the University faculty is the secretary of the Alumni Association of American Rhodes Scholars and edits a quarterly magazine devoted to the interests of the Rhodes Scholars who have returned to the United States.
As soon as the first consignment of Rhodes scholars sent from the United States had completed their three years' course in Oxford and returned to the United States, they organized an alumni association, of which Professor Murray was elected secretary. An association of whatever kind has to have its organ in these days, so the Rhodes Magazine was started.
Each number of the Magazine contains a letter from Oxford, detailing the latest doings there in scholastic and athletic lines, a personal column telling what the students who have returned are doing for a living, with a good quantity of "joshes" interspersed and an editorial department in which the more important matters of interest to the Magazine readers are discussed. Occasionally an alumnus unburdens his mind in a communication on politics, philosophy, or the science of making both ends meet, and on two occasions the editor (Professor Murray)has burst into song in page-long poems—excellent poetry, by the way, which we would be glad to print in The Kansan, if it were not protected by copyright.
PAN-HELLENIC COUNCILS.
The fact that Professor Murray is editor of the Magazine makes the university of Kansas, the center from which radiates all the activity of the Rhodes Scholars' organization in the United States.
Fraternities and Sororities Have a Regulating Board.
The two pan-helenic councils composed of fraternity people control the fraternity affairs here.
The girls' council consists of an active and an alumnae member from each sorority. It governs the rushing and social activities of the members. The Chi Omegas have the president this year.
The representatives of each sorority in the council are: Kappas: active, Nola Ayers; alumnae, Mrs W. E. Higgins. Thetas: active; Hazel Allison; alumnae, Mrs. Hodder. Pi Phi: active, Bertha Lucan; alumnae; Dora Wren. Chi Omega: active, Gertrude Eson; alumnae, Eva Butler.
The men's council is made up of two active members from each of the eight fraternities.
A Political Platform.
"Let reverence for law be taught in schools and colleges, be written in spelling books and primers, be published from pulpits, and proclaimed in legislative houses, and enforced in the Courts of Justice; in short, let it become the political religion of the nation."

THE JAYHAWKER COACHES
Kennedy, Mosse and Rouse Trained Football Players.
Bert Kennedy, Arthur St. Leger Mosse and Carl Rouse, all former students of the University and former captains of Jayhawker football teams were the football coaches this year.
Kennedy, the head coach, was a quarterback and captain in the late nineties. He played one year on the Pennsylvania team and afterward coached Washburn college Since coming to the University Kennedy has been very successful.
ROBERT TAYLOR
MOSSE.
Assistant Coach Mosse was a star guard in the old days when the "guards back" formation was the sensation of the football world. He was assistant coach in 1906 and solved the Nebraska formations and enabled Kansas to win the game. This year he did good service in arranging the Kansas defense to meet all opponents.

Carl Rouse, star end and captain in 1907, coached the Freshmen squad. He had excellent material to work with and he turned out a team that held the 'Varsity in many a scrimmage. Rouse was a great end in his day and the Freshmen ends, through his training, were wonders.

Clean Football is Winning Football (By Coach "Bert" Kennedy.)
Competent authorities on football as played today agree that clean football is winning football. No coach of recognized standing in the college world at this time would teach his men to foul or deliberately violate the rules. It is this tendency in the modern game that pleases me most. So far as the new rules governing the playing of the game are concerned, I am not so sure that they are better than the old ones. But that the playing rules are better enforced by officials, that coaches and players are striving harder to live up to the spirit as well as to the letter of these rules, and that our faculty authorities have worked real reforms in the scholarship standing of the players there can be no doubt. These factors have put football on a higher plane than ever before, and that without robbing the game of a single point that was of real value. True, the college teams as a whole for the past three years have not been as strong as elevens of earlier times. But this fact we can well forego in gaining the points first mentioned and in putting all teams on a more equal footing.
Those who have been closely identified with the administration of athletics at the University and, in fact, all our students have recognized that in matters of reform Kansas has been among the leaders. That reforms were needed everyone is agreed, and, with such men as Chancellor Strong and Dr. Naismith insisting that athletics here be put on the same moral plane as other forms of undergraduate endeavor, it is easy to understand why Kansas occupies her high position in the intercollegiate world.
We are all proud of our "ever victorious" team of 1908 and justly so, for they are true representatives of a splendid student body, and the victories they won were clean and decisive. The players, substitutes, coaches, trainers and rooters all deserve great credit and may well be proud of their work. And while these were the chief factors in the success of the season just closed, I feel sure that the work of the past two seasons under the new rules was almost as important as this year's work on the field.
The conclusion of the whole matter is that here in Kansas we are on a sound basis because our athletics are clean. While this does not mean that our teams will always be victorious it does mean that win or lose we will get the best results out of athletics.
I am proud to have had a part in coaching the K. U. football team for the past five years and especially proud of the results of this season. But most of all it pleases me that our athletics are so clean.
Let us all be on the alert to see that we maintain this high standard. It is the work of each and every true Kansan.

SIX LITERARY SOCIETIES
DEBATING COUNCIL HANDLES ALL SCHOOL DEBATES
Men Can Gain Practice in Speaking in the ClubsVarsity Debating on Merit System.
Great opportunities are offered at Kansas University to those desirous of practice in public speaking and parliamentary drill. Six literary societies offer work along these lines.
The X. Y. Z. Debating club meets on Friday afternoons on the fifth floor of Fraser hall. Debating constitutes the main part of the program. The officers of the club are C. C. Merrillat, president; L. E. Overman, vice-president; Louis La Coss, secretary and J. T. Shannon, treasurer.
The Cooley club is a debating and oratorical society whose membership is limited to the students of the law school. Meetings are held every Friday afternoon. The officers of the club are G. W. Thiele, president; O. H. Lee, secretary; and Harvey Starbuck, treasurer.
The annual debate between the X. Y. Z. and the Cooley clubs will be held after the holidays. The subject to be debated will be the initiative and referendum question.
The Adelphic literary society was permanently re-organized this fall with these officers: J. W. Harbeson, president; J. S. Vernon, vice-president and Otto Apollo, secretary and treasurer. Meetings are held on Fridays at 4:30 in Fraser hall. This society aims to advance interest in all kinds of literary work, including debating.
The Athenian Senate meets every two weeks. The purpose of the senate is to give practice in general literary work. The Athenian officers are W. E. Brown, president; T. R. Gowenlock, secretary; and J. H. Atwood, treasurer.
The Kent club is another law society. Programs consisting of debating, extempore speaking and orations are given every month. The officers are S. M. Johnson, president; R. H. Yankee, vice-president; and Max R. Wiley, treasurer and secretary.
The Burke club meets every two weeks. Most attention is given to debating. Theodore Shannon is president.
The Quill club is a small organization of members of the junior and senior classes who are recommended by the faculty of the English department as showing ability of doing original composition work of some merit. The officers for this term are Willard Wattles, president, and Miss Myrtle Brobst, secretary-treasurer. The club holds its meeting at 4:30 every Tuesday afternoon and regular attendance of each member is expected. The programs ordinarily consist of the reading of the work of a few of the members and criticism by the other members of the club. A Quill will be published early next spring which will contain stories and various original articles selected from the work of the membership during the year.
All debating work at the University is in charge of the Debating Council. This body is composed of two representatives from the six literary societies and three members of the faculty. All preliminary and interstate debates are held under the supervision of this council. The officers are C. C. Merrillat, president; J. H. Simminger, vice-president; O. C. Hull, treasurer; R. H. Spotts, recording secretary; and Professor W. E. Higgins corresponding secretary. The members of the Council and the societies which they represent are: Adelphic, L. E. Overman and R. H. Spotts; Athenian, R. O. Douglas and R. E. Butler; Burke, O. C. Hull and A. F. Livers; Cooley, M. O. Locke and C. C. Merrillat; Kent, J. H. Simminger and L. L. Carroll; X. Y. Z., Robert Worline and R. C. Johnson. The faculty members are Professors W. E. Higgins, W. H. Carruth and D. L. Thomas.
Three interstate debates will be held this year. Kansas debates with Oklahoma on the question, "Resolved, that the fifteenth amendment should be repealed." Oklahoma debates here on the negative side. Colorado debates here on the question, "Resolved, that the United States should encourage a merchant marine by bounties and subsidies." Kansas has the negative. The same question will be discussed with Missouri at Colnmbia. In this debate Kansas will have the affirmative. The preliminary tryouts for these debates will be held in January.
Sigma Xi Lectures in February.
Professor A.G. Webster, head of the department of Physics in Clark University has been secured by the Sigma Xi scientific societies of Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Iowa to deliver the annual circuit addresses at those institutions.
The eastern educator will be at the University on February 8,9 and 10 and will deliver addresses on each afternoon at 4:30. Professor Webster is perhaps the greatest American authority on the subject of sound and he will dwell much upon this particular realm of his chosen science. The first lecture by the Clark professor will be experimental,the second historical and the last philosophical. The addresses will be popular.

An indolent sort of individual lay down one day in the early fall under the branches of a tree laden with ripe plums. He soon fell asleep and his mouth flew open. In a little while a ripe plum fell from the tree and fell plumb between his jaws. It awakened him, and finding the luscious fruit in his mouth, he concluded that he had discovered an easy way to get a living. The next day he came again, lay down on his back under the tree and opened his mouth. In a few minutes, instead of a ripe plum, a large, juicy worm fell into his mouth. As he spat it out with disgust he exclaimed: "There are exceptions, of course; but as a general rule a man would better keep his mouth shut."
An English magazine says that one of the strangest developments in the labor question in that country is that the unemployed of London are now holding their demonstrations on Sunday so that those who work on week days can participate.

What Brown Says
"CHRISTMAS," said Brown to the Brown family at the supper
Brown to the Brown family at the supper table, "while it isn't celebrated in exactly the same style as when I was a boy, is still the same old Christmas—the happiest and most looked for day of all the year by children in every land. I remember how our folks used to cook and bake for a week and how the house was decorated with cedar boughs and holly, and how great logs of wood were hauled in for the fireplace Christmas eve. My, what an evening of pleasure and mirth it was, and how we all gathered in front of the wide fireplace and sang and told stories and watched the flames as they danced and then disappeared up the chimney, and what an evening of expectancy it was! We could hardly close our eyes in sleep thinking of Santa and what he would bring to us while we slept. Some people say that Santa Claus is a myth, but I say he is real for although I never have seen him I've seen his pictures thousands of times and only today, while in McCOLLOCH'S DRUG STORE, I noticed Post Card Pictures of my jolly old friend. I say, LONG LIVE SANTA CLAUS!

Two dramatic clubs and a Fine Arts play give all students who have stage ability a chance to demonstrate their talent. The plays and operas are under the direction of experienced directors who aim at advancing dramatic art and literary criticism among the students.
The latest dramatic club to be organized is the Thespians. It gave its first play, "The Little Minister" in February, 1906. All those who take part in any of the plays produced by this club become members.
THE THESPIANS.
"The Climbers" will be presented by the Thespians January 14 and 15. This play is a society comedy drama, dealing with the efforts of those who are not members of the "400" to get into that exclusive set. The cast of the play is: Richard Sterling, Keith Clevenger; Edward Warden, Edward Haney; Frederick Mason, Maurice Allendorfer; Johnny Trotter, Earl Grant; Dr. Steinart, George Hiatt, Godesby, Roy Simpson; Servant at the Hermitage, Willard Wattles; Jordan, Tom Lee; Leonard, William Fishman; First Footman, G.

FINE ARTS OPERAS.
The first opera presented by the Fine Arts department of University was in 1905 when the German opera, "Der Freischutz," was given in conjunction with the May Musical festival. The object of the presentation of these operas is to train the voice students to appear in public and to give the orchestra practice in playing concerts. Membership for the Opera is not restricted to the Fine Arts department, but it is open to the general student body. The last opera presented by this department was "Princess Ida," given December 10 and 11.
The Fine Arts plays are under the general supervision of Dean C. S. Skilton of the Fine Arts department, who is assisted by Miss Gertrude Mossler and Miss Augusta Flintom.

For Buildings: First wing, Liberal Arts building, $125,000; Hospital at Rosedale, $50,000; Woman's Building and Dormitory, $75,000; Electrical Engineering Laboratory, $50,000. For special repairs and improvements, $80, 288.
PER CAPITA COST:
The average per capita cost of colleges and universities in the United States is over $200. The per capita cost of the University of Kansas is now less than $140. On the basis of what is asked for it will be, in the next two years, a little over $150.
WHAT IT NEEDS:
The University has as many students of college grade as all other institutions in Kansas put together have of college grade. Comparatively few of the two hundred cities of Kansas are as large as the University.
The enrollment of students in the University has increased 800 in the last four years, and over 450 in the last two years. In the last eleven years its enrollment has increased 1166. Nearly sixty per cent of its students come from Kansas farms. About fifty per cent pay a part or the whole of their way through the University.
The University of Kansas offers 800 different courses of study.

HAS MORE THAN 2100 STUDENTS
UNIVERSITY SHOWS WONDERFUL GROWTH DURING YEAR.
There are Now More Girls in the College Than Boys.—Many Men Take Engineering.
The high water mark in the enrollment of students in the University of Kansas was reached December 5,1908,when 2,100 was reached. The registration continues to grow.
Of this number, 942 are in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences,the men numbering 427 and the women 515. Last year there were 453 men in the college and 446 women, showing the largest percentage of gain of women in the college in the history of the University. It shows a decrease in the number of men entering that department of the school.
433 men are enrolled in the engineering school. Last year the number was 479.
184 students are registered in the Law school, 79 in the School of Medicine, 22 in Drawing and Painting, 94 in the School of Pharmacy, 126 in the Department of Music and 48 in the Graduate School. The attendance at the summer school was 220.
The University of Kansas is a "state" institution in every
The counties of Cherokee, Crawford, Dickinson, Franklin Labette, Leavenworth, Marshall, Montgomery, Reno, Rice Sedgewick, Shawnee, Wyandotte and Douglas have over 25 students. 39 counties have from 15 to 25 representatives.
A Kansan Got the Ball.
Kansas University is an interstate and a national as well as a state school. Colorado sends six students, Iowa 2, Kentucky 2, Missouri 92, Nebraska 2 and Texas 2. The following states send one student: Illinois, New York, Ohio, South Dakota, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. Holland has one student, New Mexico 2 and Russia 1.
When Bluck kicked the field goal in the Thanksgiving day game which gave Missouri her first score against Kansas since 1902, the ball flew over the fence into Prospect avenue, into the midst of a crowd of people who were standing in line trying to get in to see the game. A lively scramble followed for the possession of the ball, but a Kansas man got it and it is now in his possession at Independence, Kansas. That ball would certainly have looked good to a Missouri rooter.
January 1, 1909, a Kansas magazine, owned, edited, and managed by Kansans, will appear in Wichita or Topeka.
A Story That Might be True.
A happy student lolled in his rocking chair and smoked a General Arthur with leisurely abandon. What cared he for board bills or flunks! He was one of the hits of the hour. His classmates had elected him president of the freshmen class, and on the steps of Fraser Hall he was the general subject of conversation. The boys honored him, the girls ogled him. Even the landlord at his abiding-place humbly called him "mister."
What cared he for study! Learning was the smaller part of college life anyway. He would be a leader among his fellows, and when he stepped out upon the rude mart of the world he would be a leader among men. Let those who wished study far toward the dawn; he would graft his way through, and in the end be more successful than the grinds.
As he sat in dignified luxury, lazily blowing rings from his aromatic cigar, professors from the hill who were so honored as to have him in their classes, came into his room bowing in obeisance. Kneeling on the Royal Wilton rug at his feet they begged him to take credits of them in his various studies. But he spurned them and their offerings as dross offered by the scum of the earth. Away! I say. Away! Twice I say away. Away to your bare studies with your credits. I spurn them. I
am no longer your servile slave pleading for a bare three in my studies. Ha! Hal! I have this day conversed with the Chancellor and he has promised me an A. B. without my doing any work. Today I lunched with the Board of Regents and they promised that what I wished I should have. They recognize merit. They are just in their rewards, but you—you—you, you cringing dogs; upon you I empty the bitterness of my contempt! I look upon your baldening heads and laugh aloud to see you squirm. Take your lowly grades and leave my honored presence. I will have noth—!
At this moment the grafter's room-mate hits him roughly on the shoulder and interrupts him by exclaiming, "Wake up there, Bill. Let's get to work on this Dutch. It's about time you were bugging up on that stuff."
As Bill arises and reaches for his eye shade and his History of the Thirty Years War, the curtain starts to fall. As soon as it has started and while it is going down an Engineer in the next room sings in a sonorous voice "Nobody Works But the Engineer." After the last echo of this song has died away the gentle strains of "That is a Habit I Never Had," sung by three Laws as they deal out the next poker hand, is borne down the hall. When the barristers have finished, the curtain arises on a tableau, showing Bill stooped over his study table working for dear life.

MANY NOTED SPEAKERS.
Chapel Is Well Attended by Students.
The attendance of the students upon the Friday morning chapel exercises during the fall term has been uniformly large and on the occasions of special enthusiasm because of approaching football games the room has been entirely inadequate in its seating capacity. The speakers for the occasions have been alumni of the University, prominent citizens of Lawrence, and representative men in various various lines of work in the state and nation. During the spring term three men of international fame will each give a week of his time to the university and offer opportunities for personal conversations with the students in addition to making addresses in chapel. The speaker for February will be Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell, famous for his work in behalf of the fishermen of Labrador. He will speak at vesper services Sunday, February 14, and in chapel during the following week.
Professor Hugh Black of the Union Theological Seminary of New York City will begin his week an the University of Kansas with an address at the vesper services on March 14, 1909.
The noted physician and sociologist, Dr. Frederick vonEden of Holland will be here during the first week in April. He also will speak at vesper services in addition to the chapel talks at that time.

WOULD UNITE TWO SCHOOLS.
(Continued from page 1)
and the University the Chancellor favors the union of the administrative heads of the schools but only on condition that that unity be made complete not only in the board of regents but in one president who shall be at the head of both institutions.
DISCUSSES THE BUDGET
A large part of the first part of the report is devoted to a discussion of the budget for the next biennium. The report points out in an extensive way how the cost of maintainence has greatly increased owing to the rise in the salaries of teaching force etc.
AN INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTION.
Commenting on the practical things which the University is doing' the Chancellor says: 'The modern University must relate itself to the life of the state in as practical a manner as possible. That is to say it has in general two duties to perform. One of them is to insist first of all and of primary importance upon the highest ideals of culture and attainment. But on the other hand, the modern university is, or should be, an industrial institution having to do with the practical side of life. It must therefore help men and women in the struggle of life and aid them in the general accumulation of wealth, for one of the pillars of our civilization is the economic well-being of our people. The University of Kansas has long had this ideal in mind, but has not had the funds to realize it. It has for several years in a limited way carried on the work in university extension. It has carried on more extensively and very successfully its work in journalism. It has done something along the lines of banking, accounting, and domestic science; and its professional schools represent a large field of practical, vocational work. It now expects to increase its work in these general lines, especially in university extension and domestic science. It expects to add correspondence work to its present lectures in order to bring to bear on the community the university training and helpfulness. There is no reason, so far as I can see, why the benefits of the University should be limited to the comparatively few fortunate ones who find themselves able to spend the time and money to live from one to four years at the University. The University of Kansas must be for all who strive for the higher things of life and must go to those who cannot go to it.'
The Chemical Club.
The Chemical Club, which was organized in 1900, is an outgrowth of the Chemical Seminary established about 1895. The club has no definite membership but its weekly meetings are attended by forty or fifty students in the chemistry and pharmacy departments and the members of the faculty of those departments.
Discuss Phases of Their Work in Regular Meeting.
ENGINEERS' SOCIETIES.
The students of the electrical engineering school are organized into a society known as the Kansas branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. It meets once every two weeks to discuss the proceedings of the national organization as set forth in the periodical published from its headquarters. The present officers are Ray Jones, president; V. S. Foster, vice-president; E. J. Thiele, secretary-treasurer. Prof. M. E. Rice is chairman of the executive committee of which E. J. Thiele is the senior class representative and C. W. Nystrom the member for the juniors.
CIVIL ENGINEERS.
The Civil Engineering society of the University meets on the second and fourth Thursday evenings in each month of the school year and listens to addresses by professors and men who are actively engaged in engineering work. The officers at present are Tom Veatch president; L.C.Walker, vicepresident; Carl Pleasant, secretary-treasurer; Prof. W. C. Hoad, corresponding secretary and B.J.Dalton, advisor.
MECHANICAL ENGINEERS.
Attendance upon the weekly meeting of the Mechanical Engineering society is required of the juniors and seniors of that department, and many sophomores and freshmen also attend. The programs consist of discussions of articles in the different engineering periodicals of the library and once a month an address by some competent speaker. The present officers are H. S. Coleman president; John Garver, vicepresident; Charles. E. Johnson, secretary-treasurer.
ENGINEERS' BANQUET.
The students of the different engineering schools have a banquet open to engineers only each year. Practical men from the cities, faculty members and students speak at the banquets. Carl Ball is the present president of the Engineers.
Economics Department Does Good Work.
"I have been doing all I can in the way of university extion work. Our department for this work is not more than half equipped, but despite this fact, there are about three hundred lectures delivered over the state by members of the University faculty," said Prof. Frank W. Blackmar to a reporter for The Kansan.
There is as Much Art
Prof. Blackmar delivers on an average of fifty lectures a year himself. There are but three members of the faculty who carry on this work here. The University of Wisconsin has twenty members in this department and the University of Illinois has twelve professors who assist in the extension courses.
The Chi Omega sorority will give their Christmas banquet and play at their chapter house Wednesday evening.
Dyeing
Cleaning
in cleaning and pressing Clothing as there is in making it. There is a right way and a wrong way of doing it. We take the greatest possible care with our work, and every garment that leaves our hands has the stamp of "newness" upon it. Our system of sponging and cleaning clothes is acknowledged to be the best and to yield the best results. We press every garment into its original shape.
