CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE STATE
CAPTAIN WOODWARD'S SQUAD GETS BASKET-BALL HONORS
Friday and Saturday nights of this week the Jayhawker five will meet the Nebraska team in Robinson Gymnasium. The strength of the Nebraska team is unknown, but with the coaching of "Phog" Allen for a couple of days this week it is thought that the Jayhawkers will be able to hold their own with the Cornhuskers.
Jayhawkers Score Twice as Many Points as Opponents—"Tom Johnson Makes 108 out of 365.
By taking every game on its holiday trip, the University basketball team won the championship of Kansas. Every large institution in the state except Washburn has been met and defeated by Captain Woodward's players.
In the nine games played on the trip Kansas scored nearly twice as many points as all opponents. In the free throwing department of the game the Kansans were weaker than their opponents, scoring four less points on an equal number of chances. "Tom" Johnson lead the scoring with 108 points.

TUESDAY, JANURARY 5, 1909
The University Missourian has a long story in a recent issue devoted to the discussion of the statement of Guglielmo Ferrero, the Italian historian who is now at Columbia, in which he is reported to have stated that the romance of Antony and Cleopatra was not a romance at all, but a mere sordid marriage where gold was bartered for position and position for gold. The professors and instructors in history at the University of Missouri all agree in this view; although most of them lament the fact "that another lemon has been plucked in the garden of science." Of course we hate to see all the pretty stories of the scented barge that bore the Egyptian queen down the Nile, of the fake fishing trip old Mark enjoyed, of the way the gentle lover of the Roman murdered her brother while he slept discredited, but we refuse to lose any sleep over Cleo and Mark. And why should we when we realize that Anna Gould and her Boni have been having as much trouble as the Roman general and his foreign wife ever had, and besides they are not two thousand years dead.
This is one of the many things the Daily Nebraskan wishes the students there to ponder well: "At the Nebraska-Kansas football game in Lawrence in 1907 there were 900 more people in attendance than at the Nebraska-Kansas game in Lincoln this year. Lawrence is a town of 10,000 and Lincoln a city of nearly 60,000 inhabitants. The University of Nebraska has about eight hundred more students than Kansas.
In the failure of the "all-star" party to be pulled off according to schedule, the really and truly social lights of the University lost the chance of a life-time to have their pre-eminence established beyond cavil. But, since the promoters saw fit to abandon the project at the eleventh hour the goats will doubtless continue to mill around on the

social heights with the sheep and there is no one who can say them nay.
And now Washburn wants to be admitted into the Missouri Valley conference. It might be alright to admit Washburn but Baker, Fairmount and Sumner county high school need not think they too are eligible for membership in the conference.
Friends Has'em Tall and Short.
Sidney Hotchkiss who will enter Friends University at Wichita this spring,will have the unique honor of being the tallest college student ever enrolled in the state. He is six feet nine and three-quarter inches tall and weighs 225 pounds. Hotchkiss is 19 years old. With him as a classmate, will be Edgar Carver, an Englishman 19 years old. He is five feet tall and weighs 98 pounds.
Many Tigers Try Out.
Seventy-one men took part in the preliminary debates held at the University of Missouri before the holidays. Of this number 16 were chosen to form a debating squad. Later in the year, another tryout will be held to choose the teams from this squad, that will debate in the three interstate contests.
At the meeting of the music department of the State Teacher's association, held in Topeka, last week, Dean Skilton was elected chairman of that department for the coming year.
Dean Skilton Talked and Played.

K. U. PROFESSORS BEFORE ACADEMY
Haworth and Miller Speak—Bushong Elected Treasurer.
Professor E. Haworth read a paper on "Rivers" at the forty-first annual meeting of the Kansas Academy of Science which was in session in Topeka the last three days of last week. He believes in river improvements but pointed out methods in which he believed thousands of dollars were only being squandered because the engineers are working against nature instead of with nature. Prof. Haworth was succeeded as president of the organization by F. B. Dains, of Washburn, who has been one of the vice-presidents during this last year. Prof. F. W. Bushong of the Chemistry Department of the University was elected treasurer of the organization.
At the Tuesday evening session Prof. E. Miller gave an address in honor of the late Dr. F. H. Snow, who was one of the founders of the Kansas Academy of Science.

W. H. Lipscomb of the University of Virginia is the tallest athlete in the world. He is six feet eleven inches tall and twenty one years of age. Lipscomb was unable to make a place as regular on the University football team, it being suggested that his legs got in their own way.
Dunlap Now a Director.
Professor C. G. Dunlap was chosen as a member of the executive board of the central division of the modern language association of America, last Wednesday. It was the fourteenth annual meeting of the division and was held in Chicago.
Baker is Moral.
A lady from Baldwin shopping in a down town store this week was heard to say: "I would not send a cat to Kansas University. It will ruin a young man to send him there, the influence is so bad. Why they don't even teach the Bible there. The morality at Baker is an inspiration to new students."

The College Standard
Throughout school days, college
days, business or professional career the Conklin Pen will serve you faithfully and make writing a pleasure. You don't have to coax it or fuss with it to get it to write. Because of its wonderful feed principle, ink responds instantly at the first stroke and maintains an even, steady flow to the last dot. Another great advantage of owning a
CONKLIN'S SELF- FILLING PEN
—you're never without ink. No matter where you may be in your room, lecture hall, at the post office, telegraph office or hotel, or on the train—all you have to do when your Conklin Pen begins to run dry is to dip it in any inkwell, press the Crescent-Filler and your pen instantly fills itself and is ready to write. The same simple movement also cleans it. No mussy droper—no spilling of ink—no interruption to your train of thought.

KANSAS THIRD
WARNER PUTS K. U.NEXT TO CHICAGO AND WISCONSIN.
Reed on First Western Team. Myers a Half on Second Team with Allerdice of Michigan.
Kansas third, Nebraska sixth, Ames ninth, and Iowa twelfth, is the ranking Glenn S. Warner, the famous Carlisle coach, gave the Missouri Valley teams in the all western rating which he published in the January Outing. The placing of the teams was done by Coach Warner after careful study, by himself and other eminent football authorities.
In picking the members of the "all western" team "Tub" Reed of Kansas was the only Missouri valley player given a place on the first team. "Stan" Meyers was given a half back on the second team. Ames, Nebraska and Iowa were represented on the second team. "Billy" Rice was also given honorable mention.
Coach Warner suggests that the National Rules committee simplify the rules this year so that the players can learn them, that the spectators can understand them and so that the officials can render acceptable service.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 7, 1909
TRACK TEAM LACKS CAPTAIN
DENNIS, PRESENT LEADER,
WILL NOT BE IN SCHOOL.
Coach Hagerman Starts Practice for Indoor Meet.—Dennis, Cummins and Priest out of game.
The track team is in need of a captain. Clarence Dennis of Seneca, who was captain of the 1909 track team has written Coach Hagerman that he will not return to school.
So far two members of the track squad have announced themselves as candidates for the vacancy, Cecil Newbold and Edwin Cooley. Both men have been on the team two years and either is capable of creditably wearing the title to which he aspires.
Newbold has done brilliant work in the 100-yard dash, the 50-yard dash and the relay race but even more than brilliant has been his efforts in the 220-yard low hurdles. Last year he ran his heat in the low hurdles in 26 2-5 seconds, breaking all previous Kansas University records.
Cooley is the long distance runner of the University. He has an interscholastic record of 4:30 for the mile. Last season Cooley was physically unable to make a showing and this year with fifteen pounds more avoirdupois—he weighs 151 in his track suit—he expects to redeem himself. The election will probably take place sometime the last of the week or the first of next week.
The indoor meet to be held with Missouri in Convention hall at Kansas City, March 12, is scarcely two months off and Coach Hagerman is already training his men in earnest for the event. A track for straight away running and high jumping has been arranged in the Gym. Many good new men are trying out but the holes left by Captain Dennis, "Dick" Priest, the half miler, and "Andy" Cummins, the two miler, can hardly be filled. All these men are eligible and Coach Hagerman says that with them in school he would turn out an ever victorious team.
Amos Hawkinson has been called to his home in Marquette, by the death of his mother.
GAMETOMORROW
CORNHUSKERS COME FOR FIRST BIG CONTEST.
Missouri Valley Basketball Schedule Opens in Robinson Gym with Kansas vs. Nebraska.
The Jayhawkers will play their first interstate basketball game of the season Friday night when the Cornhusker team plays in Robinson Gymnasium. The comparative strength of the two teams cannot be doped as neither team has played out of its own state.
The Jayhawkers have been handicapped by not having a regular coach to teach them the new points of the game. "Phog" Allen has been here a few times but his trips have been too scattered to give the team the best results of his coaching. He was up from Kansas City last night showing the boys some new features of the game which will be sprung on the Nebraskans Friday night.
The new department of the game which will interest the spectators most is the throwing of the ball from one end of the court to the other, similar to the method used in making the forward pass in football. Tommy Johnson can throw the ball on a dead level a distance of thirty yards. He can control the ball too.
The members of the squad are all in good physical condition and are confident of winning from the Cornhuskers. Every man in the squad is a regular, according to "Phog" Allen, and all of them will get in the game Friday night.
Coach Allen will be here Friday night and expects to start the game with the following line-up: Johnson and McCune, forwards; Woodward and Bergen, guards; and Heizer, center.
Prof. R. K. Duncan is in Madison, Wisconsin, this week to investigate for the University of Kansas the relations which may properly exist between the scientific department of a state university and the economic interests of a state. This work has been well developed by the University of Wisconsin and Kansas hopes to learn how to increase its efficiency in that direction.
Frank Merrill 07, of Paola, is visiting at the University.
ART EXHIBIT JANUARY 26
ONE HUNDRED TEN PICTURES IN THE COLLECTION.
Masterpieces Have Been at Carnegie and Chicago Art Institutes and Pennsylvania Academy.
The seventh annual fine arts exhibit will open in the Museum on Tuesday, January 26. The pictures have been exhibited this year at the Carnegie Institute, the Chicago Art Institute, the Pennsylvania Academy and other well known art galleries in the United States. One hundred fifteen paintings are in the exhibit besides one hundred ten etchings. All of the pictures have been approved by art juries in the east, and are the prizewinners from many of the best American exhibitions.
In speaking of the exhibit, Prof. W. A. Griffith of the fine arts department of the Universalaid, "When I saw the collection at Lincoln, where the pictures are now on exhibition, I was surprised at the very high standard of pictures. They are simply great. The large majority of the pictures come from the most noted art collections in the East."
Miss Cora Parker one of the first instructors in the fine arts department here, will have three paintings, "The Iris Garden," "The Fisherman" and "Southward."
The exhibition will close on February 20. Two hundred seventy-two feet of linear floor space will be required for the exhibit.
"The Climbers" Next Week.
The comedy drama, "The Climbers," to be presented Jan. 14 and 15 by the "Thespians" was written by Clyde A. Fitch and is considered his masterpiece. It consists of the efforts of a rich New York family to get into the "400." Their efforts cause many amusing situations. The costumes are to be new and catchy. The cast is composed of 24 persons, of whom eight are leading characters. The majority of the players took some part in the club's former production, "The Little Minister."
Fred Cowles, of Kansas City was a guest at the Phi Delt house Monday.
LIVING IS HIGH
ROOMING HOUSES AND BOARDING HOUSES GRILL SCHOLARS.
Students Live at Cost in Many Institutions—Kansas Lacks Dormitories and Living Halls.
The University Missourian in a recent issue presented figures proving beyond doubt that living expenses in Columbia are higher than in towns of similar size over the state of Missouri. Rooms and board at the seat of the Missouri iustitution cost relatively higher than in other places.
The Kansan has recently looked into the matter at Lawrence and the conclusion reached is that the necessaries of life come higher here than at other institutions over Kansas and even at other state Universities.
At Missouri University students obtain board at a large cooperative boarding club for less than two dollars per week and rooms can be obtained in the city and in the university dormitories at nominal cost.
At Baker board averages $2.75 per week and double rooms rent for from $5 to $10. At Emporia the students at the State Normal and at Emporia College get good board for $2.50 a week and double rooms at from $4 to $10. At the Normal training school in Pittsburg students board at co-operative clubs at from $2 to $3 and rooms rent from $6 to $10.
Compared with these figures the prices in Lawrene are high. Board averages $3.50 weekly and fair rooms cannot be obtained for less than $10 monthly. Many rooms rent for as much as $15. The roominghouse and boarding-house keepers are not entirely responsible for this state of affairs. Many products sell for a higher price in Lawrence than in the markets of other towns. The boardinghouse keepers are first grilled in buying certain commodities and in return are forced to grill the students.
House rent is fearfully high in Lawrence. A seven-room, poorly built house four blocks from the hill rents for $35. The renters are thus compelled to charge exorbitant prices for their rooms. There are several houses in town in which the rooms rent for over $100.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 1909
The rules that have been made for girls in the school and endorsed by the girls of the senior class and all the sororities seem to be having a good effect on some of the evils that have been noticeable in the social affairs of the University. Whether those beneficial results will be so noticeable when the mellow days of May rollaround is problematical. As the temperature goes up it may be the anti-courtship rules will grow less popular. The rules have back of them no compulsion and that is as it should be. Custom, conventionality, habit are, anyway, the strongest elements in any society. It has already come to such a pass that those who break the rules in public attract the attention of students. Let the sentiment become so strong in favor of the rules that there will be no inclination to break them.
A week of school is almost gone and still a number of the Faculty members have not put in an appearance. Now it does not seem to be over severe to state that it seems only fair that those who teach should be here at the opening of school the same as those who are taught. If the absence is caused by attention to University affairs outside of the University, or even by pressing personal affairs the failure of the professors to show up would be excusable. But the fact that someone wants to go on a junketing trip in a far off state, or attend a conference of something or somebody is hardly a passable reason for failure to show up at the University sometime during the first week of school.
The move toward the formation of a baseball league among the teams of the Missouri Valley conference is exactly in the right direction. Each year the conference teams should arrange games among themselves so that the championship in each line of sport would be unquestionably settled. The champion football team under the present system is easily

All the doors to Fraser open to the inside. Fraser hall is always the most crowded building on the campus. In case of fire the inadequate means of exit from Fraser hall might occasion the loss of life. If there is not there should be a state law compelling the doors on public buildings to swing both ways or to the outside.

BIOLOGICAL LIBRARY GROWS.
Dr. McClung Predicts a Library for Every Department.
The biological library in Snow hall is scarcely a year old and yet it has 3,500 volumes on its shelves, with the promise of 10,000 more within the next two years. More than that, Dr.C. E.McLung, who founded the biologic library, predicts that it will be but a few years until every department in the University will have its own library.
Until the biologic library was placed in Suow hall, a year ago, students doing research work in the biological sciences found it necessary to spend hours and in some cases, days of good time delving thru the Spooner library looking for references.
As a proof of the rapidity with which the new library is growing, one has but to glance at a list of the contributors and the books they have given since the opening of the fall term. Here are a few of them:
United States Senator, Chester I. Long, has furnished all of the annual reports of the U. S. Fish commission, comprising thirty volumes; James Wilson, secretary of Agriculture, has sent the library all of the "Year Books" from 1894 to date; Otis Smith, director of the geological survey, has printed a complete set of bulletins and professional papers composing some sixty volumes; Charles C. Wolcott, secretary of the Smithsonian institution, has furnished a complete set of publications of the United States National Museum Co., comprising seventy-five volumes; Henry Krummel, director of the geological survey of New Jersey, has presented the library with a complete set of their annual reports, constituting twenty eight volumes.

Throughout school days, college days, business or professional career the Conklin Pen will serve you faithfully and make writing a pleasure. You don't have to coax it or fuss with it to get it to write. Because of its wonderful feed principle, ink responds instantly at the first stroke and maintains an even, steady flow to the last dot. Another great advantage of owning a
CONKLIN'S SELF FILLING PEN
Throughout school days, college
you're never without ink. No matter where you may be—in your room, lecture hall, at the post office, telegraph office or hotel, or on the train—all you have to do when your Conklin Pen begins to run dry is to dip it in any ink well, press the Crescent-Filler and your pen instantly fills itself and is ready to write. The same simple movement also cleans it. No mussy dropper—no spilling of ink—no interruption to your train of thought.

K. U. Woman Talks at Chicago.
That even in the liberal West education for women has been looked on with suspicion until very recently, was the statement made yesterday by Mrs. Blackbrother, one of the first women students of Kansas State University, before the Literature College women. Speaking of her experiences, she said, "In those days, people looked askance at a college woman, and said, 'Oh what use is all your hand work?' Now the answer to the question is, that an education is a help in any station of life, and an educated woman can cope with any situation. Personally, I enjoyed satisfying the hunger after knowledge, and later I could answer my children's questions and follow them in their studies as they grew up. Your advantages are greater than ours were, but the question is, 'What are you going to do with your education?' The obligations of an education are like the obligations of riches; it must be used for the good of mankind. You should not draw apart from other women, but should be of service to others."—Chicago Daily Maroon.

The landlords, it seems, have raised rents so that the renters to protect themselves, must have more money for their rooms. However that may be, the students foot the bill in the end.

JAYHAWKERS 48; CORNHUSKERS 13
KANSAS WINS FIRST BIG GAME IN ONE-SIDED CONTEST.
Johnson Made 11 Goals. Every Kansan a Star, and Bell Best Nebraskan.
Kansas won the first interstate basketball game from Nebraska last night by a score of 48 to 13. It was a whirlwind contest from start to finish.
The Cornhuskers were clearly outclassed in all departments of the game. In the first few minutes of play Kansas took the lead and it was easy to predict the winner. At the end of the first half the score was 19 to 6 in favor of Kansas.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 9, 1909
Kansas used the long overhead pass and the dribble. Nebraska seemed to favor the short pass.
Every man on the Jayhawker team played a great game. Johnson at forward seemed to be invincible. Time after time he would dribble the ball across the field and add two points to the score. Capt. Woodward at guard threw four field goals. Martindell played a star game at guard. Long who went in at forward in the second half pulled off several brilliant plays. Bergen and Heizer at center played star basketball. McCune at forward did much to give Kansas the victory.
For Nebraska, Bell at guard was easily the star player.
"Phog" Allen, of the Kansas City Athletic Club was a visitor at the game. In speaking of the Jayhawkers he said, "My prediction is that they will easily win the Missouri Valley championship. They are great. Kansas could defeat Chicago if the game were played on the court here."

LAWYERS TOBAR ASSOCIATION
K. U. Graduates and Students to Speak.
NUMBER 38
The University will be well represented at the annual meeting of the State Bar Association to be held in Topeka January 28 and 29. Three of the speakers will be graduates of K. U. Besides this the University will have a personal representative to speak, who will be chosen from the senior class by a competitive contest which will be decided by submitting papers on the subject, "Should the rule 'that a person cannot recover money which he has paid another under a mistake of law' be adhered to when it appears that the payee is not entitled to it and should not in good conscience retain it?"
The three graduates are Judge G. L. Finley, '93, Dodge City; Arthur M. Jackson, '97, of Leavenworth and Professor W. E. Higgins, '94, who will prepare a paper on "The State and the Criminal in the State of Kansas." A majority of the classes will be dismissed on these two days, allowing the students an opportunity to attend the meeting.
HAVE DRESS REHEARSALS.
ThespiansGiving Finishing Touches to Friday Night's Play.
The Thespians are holding full dress rehearsals for their play, "The Climbers," to be given in the Bowersock opera house next Thursday and Friday nights.
The costumes for the play are new in entirety. The opera house has been somewhat remodeled on the inside and new scenery has been procured for the Thespians.
"The Climbers" is a strong play and Miss Georgia Brown, the popular dramatic instructor of Kansas City, has been working hard, training the caste. Nearly all the players are experienced and adapted to their parts.
The University Hospital had an enrollment of two students this week. Henry Kohlman, a fellow under Professor Duncan, and James Fields,a Junior Pharmic, were both taken to the Hospital Thursday. Fields went to his home in Kingman this morning.

DEAN MARVIN HEADS SIGMA XI
NATIONAL MEETING CHOSE ENGINEERING PROFESSOR.
Sigma Xi was founded in 1886 at Cornell University and is the largest of all scientific honorary fraternities. The object of the society is to encourage research work in science.
Marvin Not at Meeting and Honor Was Unsought—Sigma Xi Greatest Honorary Scientific Society.
All the larger universities and colleges have chapters of Sigma Xi. Twenty-five schools were represented at the Baltimore meeting.
For the past four years Dean Marvin has been chairman of the National Council of Sigma Xi and his work as chairman won him his new position. Professor Marvin was elected to the society in 1890 and that same year a chapter was installed at the University, the fifth in the United States. At the present time the fraternity has fifty-three members in Lawrence.
Dean Frank Olin Marvin, of the School of Engineering, was elected national president of the Sigma Xi scientific society at the national meeting of the society held in Baltimore the latter part of last week. Dean Marvin was not even at the meeting and the election came as a great surprise to him. He had not understood that he was considered for the position and did not learn of his election until yesterday.
Several Kansan Board Openings.
Tryouts for places on the Kansan board are now open to all students of the University. There are several vacancies that are to be filled in the near future.
An out of town man who lived in Lawrence twenty years ago was at McColloch's drug store yesterday buying post cards. He said "What a wonderful change there has been in and around the University since I was here. It certainly has grown in size and beauty and no one, unless he had been absent like I have, can realize to what magnitude the institution has grown."
PROFESSOR HODDER RETURNS
Attended Historical Meeting and Visited Library of Congress.
Prof. F. H. Hodder has returned from the annual meeting of the American Historical Association at Richmond, Virginia. Mr. Hodder is a member of the executive committee of that body.C. L. Becker and C. C. Crawford also attended the meeting of the association.
After the association meeting Prof. Hodder spent several days in the Library of Congress and the Archives of the State Department. He also visited the University of Virginia at Charlottesville and Jefferson's home at Monticello.
CADY TO OBSERVE WEATHER
One of the features of the conference was the luncheons given by the professors and ex-students of the various Universities represented. These reunions were held at the Commonwealth Club at Richmond. Cornell University was first, with eighteen people at its luncheon. Kansas came second with twelve representatives. Prof. W. C. Abbot was present.
Regents to Allow Tome Tstudents to Work in Buildings at Night.
At a meeting of the board of regents Friday evening Prof. H.P.Cady was put in charge of the work of securing the daily weather observations and the preparation of the monthly record which was for so many years the work of Dr.F.H. Snow. The instruments will be moved from the Snow residence sometime during the spring and will probably be placed in the Chemistry building.
The regents also granted permission to the scholar in Bacteriology and to the fellows in industrial chemistry to enter the University buildings for work at night without the presence of a professor, thus placing these students on the same footing with instructors in this respect.
Kappas Gave Tea.
The Kappa Kappa Gammas had a most enjoyable tea this afternoon at their chapter house, 1400 Tennessee street, for all the sorority girls. The hours were from three to six.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1909
It is only a question of time until the University will be forced to build dormitories and commons to provide for the students and enable them to live at nominal cost. The fact is plain that living is higher in Lawrence than in other school towns and is higher than it ought to be. We do not pretend to know who gets the surplus, but one thing we are sure of, and that is that the students foot the bills.
Since the story on living expenses in Lawrence was published in Thursday's Kansan, the subject has been much discussed. The property owner affirms that taxes and the expenses of keeping up property are so high that he must charge high rent. The renter says he must charge high prices for the rooms and the student reaches in his pocket and settles the account.
The boarding house keepers assert that they sell board at the lowest possible price,the commodities they must use being so high that to lower the price of board would mean financial ruin. However that may be, the student is again in the little end of the horn.
Such schools as Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, and Chicago University protect the students from being held up. The university commons furnish board for almost cost and the dormitories keep room rent down to a fair figure.
As the term-end draws near when the University student body has to go through the ordeal of final quizzes, a spirit of even more than the usual feverish activity is manifested on the hill. This is visible particularly in the laboratories and shops.
Today "from morn till dewy eve" the clang of anvils and the hazy rumble of machinery emanated from Fowler shops as the engineers made haste to get their shop work in shape before the fatal day of reckoning. In the chemistry building from scores of flasks, crucibles
and retorts diabolical and noxious fumes arose and hung upon the murky air while anxious students marked down results in laboratory note books.
The casual visitor who looks in on University activities between now and the first of February will not be likely to go away with the impression that the students here are a bunch of gilded idlers.
Is there something about the ozone of Mount Oread that makes a man a politician? Not to mention the students who have gone out and made goverders and senators of themselves, one of our professors was recently elected national president of a great scientific society at a time when he was two thousand miles away from the place where the election was held. Not one in a thousand of the gentlemen who pride themselves on being practical politicians ever has things so well fixed that he can put a continent between himself and the seat of war and still win out.
With the championship of the state safely put away the Jayhawker basketball team has started on its conquest of the Missouri Valley. It is early to prophesy but the decisive victory over Nebraska last night at least shows that Kansas must be reckoned with in the games of the basketball league.
A new style of whirlwind finish will have to be invented for the basket season if that end of it is to go any faster than the beginning.
In just exactly five weeks from now the annual agitation in favor of quiz week reform may be expected to break out.
Two Men for Oklahoma Debate to Be Chosen Then.
DEBATING TRYOUT MONDAY.
The Debating Council met in Green Hall Thursday afternoon. It was decided to hold the first preliminary contest in debating on January 14. In this tryout the members of the team that will debate with Oklahoma are to be chosen. Each contestant will be given eight minutes.
The question for debate is: Resolved, "That the fifteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States should be repealed." Kansas will defend the affirmative side at Lawrence. Two men will represent the University.
All persons who desire to enter the Oklahoma tryout are requested by the debating council to leave their names at the office of Prof. W. E. Higgins in Green Hall.
The Missouri and Colorado tryouts will not be held until after examination week.
J. J. McShane, a former engineer at the University, is now with the Kansas City Structural Steel Co. He is in the drafting department with headquarters in Argentine.

DRAMATIC CLUB ASSOCIATION.
A Missouri Valley Conference of College Clubs to be Formed.
The managers and directors of the dramatic clubs of the different schools and universities in Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri are discussing the probability of organizing an association by which it will be made possible for the clubs to produce their plays in the other schools.
The first step toward this organization will be made next week when the Masque club will give its fall production, "The Royal Knave," at Liberty, Missouri, under the management of the Dramatic club of William Jewell College. After the show the visiting players will be entertained with a dance.
Beltzer Captain at Nebraska.
Oren Beltzer, halfback and punter of the Cornhusker football eleven, was elected captain of the '09 team Wednesday. The race started with Frum and Collins in the lead for the position but both withdrew on account of the hopeless deadlock and Beltzer was elected over Harte.
The new gridiron leader is also captain of the Nebraska baseball team and is one of the best college third baseman in the West.

Testing Water of Lawrence.
The bacteriology department of the University has two students at work testing the sanitary conditions of the wells and cisterns in Lawrence in regard to sewerage. Edward Wiedemann, a senior in the college, is testing the water from the wells and Miss Roxanna Oldroyd, a graduate student, is conducting the test in regard to cisterns.
DON'T SNEAK THE BOOKS.
One Student to Be Severely Dealt With for Violating Rules.
"The student body of this University must be ridded of the thief or thieves who have been appropriating the history reference books of the library before I can with any sense of justice hold a student for his library work," said a professor of history Friday morning, while discussing the disappearance of books from the library, some for all time and some for a few days.
There are enrolled in one of the history courses over a hundred students. At times reference is made to material which is to be found in only a half dozen or in some cases only one book. During the last week there have been several times when students have taken these books from the library and kept them for two or three days. In doing this the student has not only violated the University library rule, but he has also disobeyed the public library law, besides this he has meddled with state property.
This condition of affairs has existed here for several years, but the guilty culprit has never been located until this week, when evidence was obtained against a student which is strong enough to incriminate him. He will be flunked outright in his history course, and his offence will be referred to the disciplinary committee.
W. S. Jenks, '87, Discusses Life.
W. S. Jenks, '87, of Ottawa, spoke in chapel Friday morning on his observations of the various methods used by people in the universal effort to get the most and best out of life. He said that the attempt to secure this end through so-called high society was a mistake as the strongest friendships were not found under such conditions. Mr. Jenks maintained that real ownership of truth and beauty resulted from an appropriation of their values and the proper use of them. To those who would seek the most and best of life by acquiring greatness he would present the importance of giving service each day.
University Vesper Service.
The Vesper service as 4:30 on Sunday afternoon promises to be unusually interesting. The address will be given by Bishop Francis Key Brooke, one of the leading men in the West in his profession. Professor Preyer will play a postlude on the piano, Meditation, from Tschaikowski; Miss Cook and Professor Preyer will play a postlude for piano and organ. First Movement from Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven; Professor Hubach will sing a solo, Adore and Be Still, from Gounod, with piano accompaniment, and the chorus will render the beautiful choral service.

BROWN ON BIG COMMITTEE
Campaign for Uniform Weights and Measures To Be Started.
Mr. E. E. Brown, secretary of the University, yesterday received a notification from the Bureau of Standards at Washington of his appointment on an important committee of the National Conference of Weights and Measures. The committee was formed in accordance with a resolution adopted at the Conference meeting held at Washington during the holidays. Its duty is to take measures for the formation of a National Full Weight and Measure League, in which membership shall be unlimited and to which any one in favor of honest weights and measures shall be eligible. The committee is to report at the next annual meeting of the national conference, but in the meantime it has full power to organize the league if it is found advisable.
At the meeting of the conference which Mr. Brown attended during the holidays the fact came to light that there is practically no check on the manufacture and use of faulty weighing and measuring devices except in a few states. A campaign will be started to secure such state legislation as will
compel dealers to use accurate scales and measures.
There have been seven deaths on Prof. F. H. Billings' guineapig farm and the tests for germs of tuberculosis have just been completed.
Chancellor Strong is state sealer of weights and measures for Kansas.
No Germs Found Yet.
A few boarders wanted at 928 Louisiana Street. $3.00 per week.Mixed club.
The guinea-pigs are inoculated with butter and milk from Kansas towns, and allowed to run for two months. As yet no tuberculosis germs have been discovered, and Professor Billing believes that Kansas cattle are healthy. One hundred more "pigs" were imported this week for further tests.
Miss Beulah Bishop went to Kansas City Friday.

GAS HELD OUT WELL.
Lawrence Need Not Fear Under Supply of Fuel.
. The gas supply of Lawrence was not perceptibly affected, during the recent period of zero weather. This is more than most of the other towns in Kansas, which are supplied with natural gas from the southeastern Kansas fields, can say.
Kansas City probably suffered the worst during the recent cold period because of a weak gas pressure. Topeka also felt the shortage and so did Leavenworth, Hutchinson and Wichita.
J. H. Dunkel, manager of the Citizens Light Heat & Power Co., today said to a reporter for the Kansan that so far as he knew and unless something unforeseen should develop, Lawrence need have no fear of the supply of natural gas giving out.
RUSH WORK ON NEW BUILDING
Mining Building to Be Completed July 1.
Work on the Geology and Mining building under construction immediately west of the gymnasium is being prosecuted vigorously. At the beginning of the job there was a hitch. H. Eilenberger & Co., of Chicago, the firm having the contract for the erection of the building, sublet the contract for stone work to W. A. Summitt. Mr. Summitt failed "to make good," so the subcontract reverted to the original contractors, and now H. Eilenberger & Co. is rushing the job to completion.
C. P. Shaw, of Kansas City,
is superintending the work. He says that his company will have the building completed by July 1, although the contract does not call for it to be finished until August 1. Seventy-five men are employed daily.
The Thetas will hold initiation tonight for Gale Gossett of Kansas City. Afterward the freshmen will give their annual "Katsup."
The pictures in the annual will be on record many years and should be the best possible portrayals of individuality. Moffett will make one from each order special for half tone work for this occasion. Come early for best results.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 12, 1909
KANSAS WON FROM AMES
IOWA SCHOOL DEFEATEED BY SCORE OF 65 to 22.
Kansas off in First Half but Played Whirlwind Game in Second. —Took Last From Nebraska.
In a rough one-sided game the Jayhawker basketball team defeated the strong Ames five by a score of 65 to 22 last night in Robinson Gymnasium.
At the start of the game the Kansans played the Ames men off their feet but the Iowans settled down and the first half ended with the score standing Kansas 26, Ames 18.
Heizer was substituted for Berger and Wohler for Martindell at the beginning of the second half. The Jayhawkers were humiliated by their poor showing in the first half and started the second with a pace which the Ames team could not stop.
McCune and Heizer showed the best form in dribbling the ball and throwing goals. Brown and Low were easily the star performers for Ames. The Kansas team showed a weakness in handling the dribble when closely guarded by their opponents.
From comparative scores between the Ames-Missouri and the Ames-Kansas games the Jayhawkers and Tigers are about of equal strength. The Ames team will play Manhattan tonight.

CONFERENCE BASEBALL.
Track Meet on June 5—Washburn did not Petition.
At a meeting of the Missouri Valley Conference schools in Kansas City last Saturday it was decided to draw up a schedule for baseball similar to the plan used in basketball. At a meeting to be held in Des Moines in the near future the schedule will be drawn up.
At the Kansas City meeting Professor Moorehouse of Drake University was elected president of the conference and Dr. C.E.McClung was re-elected secretary.
June 5th was set as the date for the conference track meet. President Moorehouse will appoint a committee to select a place for the meet and as he is a Des Moines man the committee he will appoint will probably select Des Moines for the meet. The Iowa Capital has offered a stadium free to the conference schools.
Bishop Brooke at Vesper.
Washburn did not petition for a place among the conference schools.
To a small audience who braved the storm Sunday afternoon to attend the vesper service, the Rt. Rev. Francis Key Brooke, Bishop of Oklahoma delivered an address on the Epiphany, the Twelfth-day festival which closes the Christmas season as it is considered by the Episcopal church. The Epiphany is celebrated as the anniversary of the visit of the Magi to the Christ Child and Bishop Brooke's talk was a discussion of the significance of the gifts which they presented to Him.

THESPIANS THURSDAY
NEW DRAMATIC CLUB TO PRESENT "THE CLIMBERS."
A Strong, Experienced Caste for Clyde Fitch's Masterpiece—Special Costumes and Scenery.
The annual production of the Thespians will be staged in Bowersock's opera house on Thursday and Friday nights of this week. Clyde Fitch's masterpiece, "The Climbers," portraying the social difficulties of a New York family that has been a paddler in "the social swim", will be the play. Amelia Bingham used "The Climbers" for several seasons with great success, opening the Willis Wood theatre in Kansas City with it a few years ago.
The play blends comedy and drama in such a perfect way as to make it almost classic.
The Thespians have spared no expense in giving "The Climbers" the same setting and costuming as the original production. New costumes have been procured from Kansas City by Maurice Allendorfer and Miss Georgia Brown, and special scenic and electrical effects will be introduced.
The nature of the play causes many thrilling and dramatic climaxes with enough amusing situations to bring out some humorous comedy. 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. E. Richardson; Mrs. Hunter, Alma Manley; Mrs. Sterling, Grace Warner; Jessica Hunter, Rebecca Passon; Clara Hunter, Fern Eddie; Ruth Hunter, Fern Cramer; Mrs. Godesby, Gretchen Rankin; Miss Sillerton, Lola Smart; Miss Thompson, Eva Detwiler; Marie, Elizabeth Kneaster.
Chancellor Strong delivered an address in Topeka Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. of that city on "What the Ordinary Man Owes to Christianity."
LANSING COAL SUPPY SHORT.
University Must Go into the Market for Fuel.
The state penitentiary can no longer be depended on to supply the University with coal. With the removal of the Oklahoma prisoners the number of men available to work in the mines is greatly reduced, and the output of the mine will be reduced about 600 tons per day. The University has received only one carload of coal from the mines at Lansing this week, and the prison officials stated this morning that they could not be sure of sending any more for a week.
E. E. Brown, purchasing agent of the University, this morning placed an order for 250 tons with private dealers. During a cold snap such as we are experiencing at present, the furnaces at the University eat up coal at the rate of forty tons a day, and that order will cover about one week's consumption.
At the end of that time it is believed that the amount of coal which the prison mines can be depended upon to furnish the University with in the future can be estimated with some accuracy. If at that time it becomes evident that the prison mines cannot be depended on for a supply, Mr. Brown will go into the market with an order for 1000 tons.
TRIED TO END LIFE.
Student Became Discouraged from Illness and Overstudy.
George G. Whittemore, of Waterville, a freshman in the college, yesterday in a fit of melancholy attempted to end his life by taking carbolic acid. The amount of acid used was so small, however, that he did not seriously injure himself. He will be taken to his home at Waterville tomorrow.
Whittemore had been ill for some time, and his illness combined with worry and overstudy to make him despondent.

EDUCATION DOES NOT ALWAYS PAY.
The law student who wrote the article in the Topeka Capitol questioning whether a college education pays and answered in the negative should have qualified his answer by telling who he is. If he had so done we might have been able to judge whether or not the failure he admits he has made so far in life is due to the education or to the man who has received the education. The writer says he has supported himself while attending the University and as a result has been snobbed and looked down upon by other students. Anyone acquainted with conditions at the University knows that if he has been snobbed it is not because he worked but because of some other reason. In working his way through school the one who wails his lot is not different from hundreds of other students in the University of Kansas, and they are not snobbed. In fact they hold the high positions in school among the student body. They join fraternities the same as the student who comes are with a fat allowance from his father. In fact the two men in the University who have held more positions of honor than any other two students at present in the University both have worked their way through the University.
The student says he could not get a salary of over forty dollars a month from anyone after spending five years in college. Well he is the exception to the ordinary student. There are undoubtedly a number of students in the University who are not worth even forty dollars a month, and education cannot increase their earning ability. All the seed in the world scattered on the Sahara desert would not increase the value of the barren soil, neither will all the seeds of education sown on the intellectual barrenness of some brains help to bring forth that which it takes brains to produce. Yes, it is true that education does not always pay.
Now and then, when we forget, something impressive, dramatic, tragedical occurs to remind us that there are questions all around demanding attention of those who have a desire to improve the lot of their fellows. Such events are not unknown even in the University. Within the last two days one has occurred. The lot of the freshman is not an easy one. He is in a new position, he is constantly harrassed by fears that are groundless, he broods over things which grow as the imagination dwells on them, he is dejected, despondent, sometimes overworked. Is it any wonder that he sometimes is tempted to commit deeds which he will regret through life. Is it any wonder that less than half of the new students return the next year. By the building of dormitories the lot of the new student can be greatly improved and the communal associations will make more attractive a college life which is now remembered by many students, who drop out after the first year, as a place where pleasure abides not, and where the students never cease from trouble.
If the students of the University are desirous of securing some vacations during the coming term start an agitation to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of a few of the great scholars and statesmen who were born just a century ago this year. Here is a partial list: statesmen, Lincoln and Gladstone, the two greatest of England and America; in music, Mendelssohn and Chopin; in science, the greatest man, perhaps, of all time, Charles Darwin; in the world of letters, Edgar Allen Poe, Alfred Tennyson and Oliver Wendell Holmes, William Kingston, the historian, and Edward Fitzgerald who translated The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.
The University Missourian says that every Tiger on the team would have given a goodly slice of his monthly allowance for the football which Bluck kicked out of the grounds at the Thanksgiving game. And it's a safe bet that many a Tiger has sadly reflected how much larger that same allowance might have been if Bluck had only kicked a few more into Prospect Avenue the same way.
Many specimens of skulls lately imported from France have been put in the museum for the use of students. Several forms of animal life from "snakes and toads" up to domestic animals are shown.

THE TRAGEDY OF BRAINS.
Wins Education Through Tribulation but still a Failure.
The following pathetic wail from a struggling law student, minus the stage directions, appeared in the Topeka Capital a few days ago under the caption "Does Education Pay?"
Virtue Has No Reward.
"Some with lives that come to nothing,
Some with deeds as well, undone."
These lines frequently come to me as I think of the vast number of young men in the colleges and universities of this country who are paying their own way through these institutions of higher education. I could not say this perhaps if I were not a college student myself.
When very young I was thrown upon my own resources. I completed a four year's high school course. Then some friends told me to go to college and my success would be assured. All would be smooth sailing thenceforward. I followed the advice of my friends and entered the University of Kansas. I took my bachelor's degree last June and am now in the school of law. During my entire college career I have worked and skimped and struggled. I have denied myself every social pleasure and taken absolutely no part in university life. I have scrubbed floors, washed dishes and lived in attics, garrets and basements. I have studied hard and tried to make something of myself. I have been honest and conscientious in everything I have done.
Cruel, Cold K. S. U.
Now that my college career is so near the close, for I leave it forever next June, I feel that the only words I can utter as I cast my last long, lingering glance over the campus on Mount Oread, the only thought that can come to me will be: "Farewell, scenes of all my bitterness and my keenest humiliations!"
Romance Begins and Ends.
Many men say that the happiest days of their lives were their college days. My bitterest and most unhappy days have been my college days. I met some months ago a beautiful and accomplished girl. She was a very good friend until she learned that I was poor and compelled by force of circumstances to be honest. Then she quit me. The girls find it awful hard to love a poor devil nowadays.
There is no premium on brains anywhere. More brains have rotted and decayed in the wretched dwellings of the cities's poor than have adorned the parliaments, thrones and council chambers throughout all history. There are more and better brains in the attics of Lawrence today than have been in the State House at Topeka for twenty years.
Where Brains Are Cheap.
Students Starve.
You will ask, perhaps, why these young men of ability do not go out into the world and do something. The fact of the matter is they can barely find enough of the necessaries of life. More bright and talented young men starve to death in
American colleges every year than you can find on the staff of the average big daily newspapers.
$40 a Month Salary.
The point which I wish to make is that a college education is of no benefit to the average young man without means. He can employ the four years he would spend in college to better advantage by learning some trade or getting a start in business. Had I gone to work at something after leaving high school I could have accumulated by this time $2,000. My five years in college have cost me $1,500, counting all the work I have done and the money borrowed. No man today would be willing to pay me more than $40 per month. I gave up a $40 job to go to the university.
Does a college education pay?
Does a college education pay? The article is signed by Wilbur Winthrop, which is a fictitious name, as there is no five year university student by that name.

The most successful play invented on the American gridiron this year was the fake punt, end around forward pass, which is credited to Coach Sheldon of Indiana.

KANSAS WON FROM AMES (Continued from page·1)
Referee, "Pete" Allen, of Kansas City.
Took Second Nebraska Game.
The Jayhawkers won the second game from the Nebraska team Saturday night in Robinson gymnasium by a score of 36 to 17. In the first half of the game the Cornhuskers played real basket-ball, holding the Kansans to 12 points and making 9 themselves, but in the second half the game was a walk-away for the Jayhawkers. Long and Johnson starred for Kansas, while Bell did the best work for Nebraska. Walsh was retired from the game early in the second half for having made too many personal fouls.

SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATION DEVOTED TO ZOOLOGY.
BULLETIN READY AMUSEMENTS.
Prof. C. E. McClung Wrote Five of Fourteen Articles—1200 Copies Issued
Copies Issued.
The last part of volume four of the Science Bulletin of the University, which is a continuation of the publication known as the Kansas University Quarterly, came off of the press during the holidays and is ready for mailing. One volume containing from 300 to 400 pages of reading matter with necessary illustrations, is issued in parts at irregular intervals in each year. The bulletin just issued is devoted to Zoology and contains fourteen articles five of which are written by Dr. C. E. McClung, and the others by instructors and students of the University at the present or who have been associated with it in recent years. One of the important numbers is a brief history of the Department of Zoology in the University of Kansas, prepared by Professor McClung, which includes a list of the publications of the department. Including the articles in the present bulletin, a total of one hundred and eighty-seven articles have been published during the life of the department in Kansas.
Four of the numbers of this bulletin are devoted to discussions of the sex cells of the grasshopper, to the investigation of which Dr. McClung has given considerable attention, with the result that he has become a much quoted authority on the subject. Miss Lalia V. Walling has an article in regard to the anatomy of the grasshopper heart.
Professor McClung's article on "The Restoration of the Skeleton of the Bison Occidentalis," is of especial interest because it describes the mounted specimen of an extinct bison which is in the paleontological museum. The bones were found by H. T. Martin in Logan county, Kansas, in 1895, and assembled by him. The specimen is the only complete skeleton of an extinct form.
Other articles are on the "Relationship of the Turtles and Plesiosaurs" by Roy L. Moodie, a "Description of the Skull and Separate Cranial Bones of the Wolf-eel" by L. A. Adams, some "South American Archeological Notes" by H. T. Martin, and "Notes on Some Northern Arizona Birds" by Alex Wetmore.
Twelve hundred copies of the Bulletin were issued.

Most Captains Are Linemen.
According to the Purdue Exponent a large percentage of the football captains who have been elected for the coming year play in the line. This is explained by the fact that the new style football requires, as a rule, a double set of backs and as it is desirable that the captain play the entire game, the number of captains who play these positions is comparatively small.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME V.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 14, 1909
CARRUTH OUT FOR MAYOR
NUMBER 40
VICE-CHANCELLOR HAS ANNOUNCED HIS CANDIDACY.
Would Continue Reform and Clean Lawrence.—University and City Would be More Closely United.
Professor William Herbert Carruth, head of the department of Germanic Languages and Literatures in the University, has announced himself as a candidate for the office of mayor of Lawrence before the republican primaries. This is the climax of a movement which has been on foot for many years to unite, more closely, the University and the city of Lawrence.
In speaking of his candidacy to a Kansan reporter Professor Carruth said, "I am a candidate for the office of mayor of Lawrence through the insistent demands of many of my downtown friends. There has been a lack of harmony between the University and the city of Lawrence at large and many friends think that my success would eliminate these difficulties. There has been a growing tendency for many years for men of the University to mingle with the business men of the town. Many of the professors belong to the different clubs of the merchants and they have much influence in the city.
With Vice-Chancellor Carruth in the mayor's chair the reform in Lawrence would be continued with vigor. His candidacy has excited much favorable comment over the city and he has a host of supporters.
Electricals to Kansas City.
"With regard to the prohibitory platform I may say that it appeals strongly to me, for men outside of Lawrence have said that the growth of the University in the future will depend in a large measure upon the cleaning up of Lawrence. In fact my candidacy for the mayorship was suggested by an outside man who is greatly interested in the University and its growth. For Lawrence to have a greater University than ever before it is necessary that the good work of cleaning the town be continued and that the University and town work together."
Prof. M. E. Rice will take the electrical engineering class to Kansas City tomorrow for the purpose of explaining certain electrical apparatus in use in the large plants.
In many college towns the institution and town have close relations. Many college professors have been mayors of the town where their institution is located and have filled the office creditably.
NEBRASKAANGRY
CORNHUSKERS DON'T WANT TRAINING TABLE ABOLISHED.
Conference Move Unpopular here— Iowa at the Bottom of the Affair.
Kansas, it is understood, opposed the abolition of the training table at the Kansas City meeting. The move seems to be rather unpopular among football men at the University. Coach Kennedy when asked his opinion of the matter said, "I do not think it was necessary to do away with the training table. Rules, of course, are to be obeyed and we will obey them. The Missouri Valley Conference is in its youth and not yet on its feet and I feel that all rules should be observed by all schools in order that the conference may gain strength. "The training table was abolished because Iowa could not have one anyway and Wash-
The Daily Nebraskan and the students at Nebraska do not like the action taken by the Missouri Valley Conference in abolishing training tables. They lay the blame for the whole thing on Iowa. The Hawkeyes, as members of the "Big Eight" have not had a training table for some time. It was, of course, to their advantage to impose the same restriction upon the "Big Seven" teams.
The Daily Nebraskan points out the fact that Michigan left the conference because the rules became too strict and suggested that it might be a good thing if Nebraska followed Michigans example and left the smaller conference.
"The training table was abolished because Iowa could not have one anyway and Washington, Ames and Drake could not afford one. Every precaution should be taken to protect football players and condition them for games."
HAS A JOB IN KANSAS.
Jerome Beatty Will Leave Reportorial Position on K. C. Journal.
Jerome Beatty, who was president of the Scoop Club last year, will sever his connection with the Kansas City Journal in a few weeks to take a position on the Hutchinson Gazette. He will be editorial writer and telegraph editor on the latter paper.
Mr. Beatty is a Lawrence boy who has had a number of years of experience on Lawrence and Kansas City papers. He found time aside from his regular newspaper work recently to write a story which has been accepted by Munsey's Magazine.

CONDITIONS NOT AT ALL IDEAL
FORMER STUDENT DISCUSSES BOARD AND ROOM.
Harold Batchelor Compares K. U. and Dartmouth System.—All the Credit to the Latter.
"Conditions in regard to board and room are in a deplorable state here at the University of Kansas," said Harold Bachelor, a student at Dartmouth, to a Kansan reporter yesterday. Mr. Bachelor lives in Valley Falls and was a freshman in the college last year.
"Board at Dartmouth is from $3 up to $5. Students board in the Dartmouth dining hall at cost. The prices in the grill rooms are higher than in the halls because students in the former have personal waiters. The food is the same in both places."
"While living expenses in the East are higher than in the West students get board and room at Dartmouth at cost. In the dormitories the finest suites of two rooms rent for $17 and one room is from $5 to $9. The furnishings, heat and attendance are much better than in any of the Lawrence rooming houses.
"The dormitory and dining room system at Dartmouth, and in nearly all the eastern schools, provides a home life that is seldom found at K. U. There is a good fellowship that is lacking here and that, appreciated once, is always wanted by a student."
Emporia Five Got Cold Feet at Last Minute.
Saturday night the Jayhawker basketball five will meet the William Jewell team in Robinson Gymnasium. The Collegians are playing fast ball this year and are expecting to give the Kansans a good run for the game.
WILLIAM JEWELL SATURDAY.
The William Jewell team was one of the few teams that broke even with Kansas last year. On the strength of their showing against Kansas they claimed the Missouri Valley championship.
A game was to have been played with the State Normal team Friday night but the freezing temperature of the early part of the week has affected their pedal extremities causing them to call the game off. On January 22 Ottawa University is here and the following night the Kansans lock horns with Washburn.
Chancellor Strong is in Topeka attending a meeting of the State Board of Education.
AMONG INJURED
FATHER OF "IKE" LAMBERT PERISHED IN FLAMES.
Mrs. Regent Morgan Broke Her Ankle—Several University People Injured.
There were several people more or less closely connected with the University, in the Copeland hotel fire in Topeka early this morning.
Isaac Lambert, a prominent attorney of Emporia and father of Isaac Lambert, Jr., a special in the college, was probably consumed in the flames. The last seen of him he was in one of the top story windows imploring aid. He was told to go to the front windows and come down on a ladder there. The surmise is that he perished while attempting to find a way to safety.
Mrs. W. Y. Morgan broke her ankle in a long jump from the third floor. Regent Morgan was not hurt.
Regent Alexander Mitchell of Lawrence was in the hotel. He escaped but lost all his clothes.
S. C. Wescott, '90, a member of the legislature from Cherokee, sprained his foot in escaping.
J. C. Gordon, grandfather of Miss Mary Overholt,a student in the College last year, owned the burned hotel. His loss is $100,000, partially covered by insurance.
Several Changes for "The Royal Knave" at William Jewell.
MASQUE CLUB TO LIBERTY.
The Masque club members who have parts in "The Royal Knave" will leave tomorrow noon for Liberty, Missouri, where they will give their play at William Jewell College Friday night. Vale L. Nance,business manager of the club, had arranged to take the company to Clay Center during the holidays and give a performance, but when he learned that the Clay Center manager would not guarantee them expenses, the engagement was called off. At Liberty the club is sure of its expenses.
Some changes have been made in the caste, since the play was given before the holidays. Those in the caste are: Francois Villon, Vale L. Nance; King Louis, Roy Detrich; Triston, Harold Armsby; Oliver, Ward Cook; Noelle Jolys, Earl Fisher; Thibaut de Assigny, Merle Prunty; Casin Cholet, Kenneth Patterson; Renee de Montigny, Harry Slaymaker; Guy Tabbory, Clifford Cole; Katherin Veaucelles, Dorothea McKnight; Hugette de Homil, Edna Hopkins; Blanch, Hannah Mitchell; Isabeau, Grayce Waugh; Mother Villon, Isabel Thomes; Herald of Burgundy, Louis Breyfogle.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 1909
The first tryout for debates is to be held tonight. Owing to the generosity of a professor in the University, there will be a large number of contestants in the tryout. Students in the University of Kansas have never manifested the interest in debates they should. Those who enter the contests have nearly always been confined to the students of the law school. This should not be. The college should furnish more debaters than the law school because it is larger and the engineers should not remain out because they do not feel equal to competing with the euridite and scholarly laws. If the technical schools desire to ever become recognized leaders among the divisions of the University they must come out of the shops and laboratories and help develop that larger life that is a part of any great university.
Professor Carruth's candidacy for mayor of Lawrence should receive the support of the people of Lawrence. Dr. Carruth is not only an old citizen of the city but is a leader in the University. It is perhaps in this light of his connection with the University that his candidacy will be most discussed. There seems to have always been a breach between the citizens of Lawrence and students in the University. The occasions of rowdyism which in the earlier days probably caused the ill feeling has passed. There is no doubt as to Professor Carruth's fitness for the mayoralty. His ability is unquestioned, his honesty and integrity need no praise. His election to the mayor's hair would unite the town and the University as it has never been united before.
At the University of Minnesota the medical school will in the future require the attendance of students at classes until noon on Sunday. This action coming so soon after the University officials notified the members of the faculty that when they reach the age of
sixty-five they can consider themselves out of a job and turned out six of the old professors, seems to indicate that the University of Minnesota is getting immensely practical if it is trampling on heaven and humanity, and sentiment and all the finer things that make life worth living and an education worth the sacrifices which the Kansas law student says are so great. ___
The Michigan Daily says that Prof. Geo. L. Robinson, of the McCormick Theological Seminary, in an address at the University of Michigan divided students into four classes: "the sponge, who soaks up good and bad alike; the funnel, receiving at one end only as fast as it runs out at the other; the strainer which allows the wine to pass through and retains the scum; the sieve, which allows the pebbles and chaff to pass through and retains the wheat."
Well, that classification may be all right for the students of Michigan but out in prohibition Kansas no such classification as sponges, funnels, strainers, and sieves will apply.
At the University of Chicago every rooming house landlord or landlady is required to sign a contract with the university that certain accommodations will be furnished roomers and that girls will be furnished adequate parlor rooms for the entertaining of their company. Nevertheless rent is much cheaper at Chicago than at Lawrence. At Kansas it has long been the custom for those who rent rooming houses to conduct themselves as if the students had no rights which they were bound to respect, or even under the least obligations to respect.
Coach Frank Armin, or Ermin, or Arner, whoever he may be, said to be connected with a school somewhere in Kansas called Southwestern has picked an all Kansas football team in which he says the state University is not entitled to a place on the team. Really, seriously it was not commonly known in the northern part of the state that Southwestern college or university or seminary or whatever it is had a football team much less a coach until the reputed coach settled the championship of the state.
At the University of Wisconsin the Professors' University club had just secured a license from the United States to sell liquor in their club house, says The Cardinal. We are inclined to think this is a mistake from what we have heard of Wisconsin. It must have been only a renewal of the old license.
Coach Clapp of the University of Nebraska basketball team says he is very well satisfied with the showing the Cornhuskers made in Lawrence. And the same is true of Kansas. A man as easily satisfied as Dr. Clapp should always be happy.

KANSAS CHANCES GOOD.
"Pete" Allen Says Jayhawkers Have a Little Edge on Missouri.
"I believe that Kansas will defeat Missouri in basketball, but by a small score. Missouri has a great team, but I believe Kansas has a better one." This is "Pete" Allen's view as to the comparative strength of Missouri and Kansas.
Mr. Allen officiated as referee in the Ames-Missouri game and umpired yesterday evening in the Kansas-Ames game.
"Why do I believe Kansas will win?" continued the famous basketball man. "My reasons are that the Kansas team is composed of more natural basketball men than the Missouri team and that Kansas has its team work developed to a finer point."
Meeting of A. C. A.
The Association of Collegiate Alumnae will hold a meeting, to which the Senior girls will be invited, at the home of Miss Agnes Thompson February 7.

New Dormitories Needed.
The imperative need of new dormitories should be pressed upon the legislature. In that way only is it possible to enable students to get good board at comparatively low prices. Groceries are higher in Columbia than in any other part of the state and not one whit better. Rents are higher than they are even in Kansas City or St. Louis for better accommodations. The only way of relieving the situation is to give the students a chance to help themselves. This can be most effectively done by erecting additional dormitories and dining rooms.- Missouri Independent.

Dr. Wilber Discussed Red Cross.
Dr. F. A. Wilber spoke in chapel Tuesday on the history and character of the International Red Cross Society with especial reference to the work now being done for the earthquake sufferers in Italy. It was established in 1864 in Geneva, Switzerland by men interested in improving conditions in time of war. At that time twelve nations agreed on certain articles concerning the treatment to be given the wounded in time of battle. When the United States signed the treaty a few years later it was suggested that the society use its funds for relieving great suffering in time of peace as well as war.

MUTTERINGSOF COMINGSTORM
Last Survivor of Scoop Club Prosecutions will come up for trial.
An echo of the stirring times on the hill last spring came this week in the news that "Bull" Drake had returned to Lawrence, had been arrested and would be tried for the violation of the prohibitory law at the next term of court. Drake is one of the jointists who was involved in the "Scoop" Club prosecutions last year, but he skipped town at that time before a warrant could be served and only recently returned.
Unless Drake pleads guilty, the county attorney states that he will be obliged to use the same witnesses who were called in the case last year. The names are still in his possession and if Drake shows a disposition to fight they will again be subpoenaed to help uphold the majesty of the law. It is believed that Drake will plead guilty.

MASQUE CLUB IGNORES ORDER
PLAYED AT LIBERTY LAST NIGHT DESPITE FACULTY.
The University Council Ordered Stars to Stay Home but the Call to Road too Strong.
At a meeting held a week ago the University council decided by unanimous vote that the Masque club should not be allowed to present the play "The Royal Knave" outside of the town of Lawrence. Last night the club gave the play at Liberty, Missouri, and the managers of the club have probably involved themselves in a difficulty which will take some explaining to get out of.
The University authorities learned yesterday just before the company boarded the train that the club meant to give play. It was too late to get into communication with the managers, but a member of club who was reached by telephone just before starting for the station said she had been assured by the business manager that the proper arrangement had been made with the University for presenting the play.
The manager of the club stated a few days ago that he had heard the action of the council talked about among the students, but that he had received no official notification of it.
By presenting the play at Liberty the club has transferred a considerable amount of work from the shoulders of the committee on eligibility to those of the disciplinary committee.
VERNON SPOKE TO STUDENTS
Told Classes in Journalism of Country Reporter.
Mr. Chas. Vernon, a former student and editor of the Manhattan Mercury, spoke to the classes in Journalism Friday morning, upon the "Country Reporter's Problem."
"A young man who does not possess an interest in his work," he said, "will never become a reporter. He must realize that that which is of interest to him is perhaps also of interest to two-thirds of the people. Above all, a reporter must know that the plain, simple truth is always best."

WHY NOT HERE?
STATE PROTECTS M. U. STUDENTS FROM "HOLD UPS."
Board and Room in Missouri Dormitories $92 a Year Cheaper Than Average in Lawrence.
"Board and lodging for less than three dollars a week in the University dormitories" is a part of an advertisement for the University of Missouri which appeared in the University Missourian this week.
Students in Columbia are partially protected by the state from being "held up" by boarding and rooming house proprietors. The student at Missouri pays $108 for board and lodging dnring the school year.
Compared with this the prices in Lawrence are frightfully high. The general catalogue of the University states that the average cost of board for a year is $160 in Lawrence and that lodging averages $40. This totals $200 yearly for board and room or just $92 more than the same thing costs at Missouri. That is not all. In Missouri all the good fellowship of dormitory life is added. Freshmen are not so likely to become homesick and leave school and the enrollment is kept up. If every Freshman who enters this University would graduate Kansas would be the biggest school in the Missouri Valley. It has been proved that new students never will stay until something to take the place of their home life is given to them.
ART EXHIBIT POSTPONED.
Will Open on February 2 for a Month's Stay.
The art exhibit is to be postponed one week. It will open on February 2.
Prof. W. A. Griffith received a telegram from the management at Lincoln yesterday, asking if the exhibit could be kept there another week. The pictures are making a great hit with the Lincoln people.
Mr. Griffith consented to the change. The exhibit will be at the museum during the month of February.

"THE CLIMBERS" WAS GOOD
THESPIANS INTERPRET HEAVY PLAY IN ARTISTIC STYLE.
Clevenger was the Star—Attendence small Owing to Weather and Counter Attractions.
The Thespians presented their second annual play, The Climbers Thursday and Friday nights at Bowersock's opera house to audiences much smaller than usually attend University dramatic productions. The interpretation of Clyde Fitch's play was good and attendance would have been larger had it not been for the bad weather and conflicting attractions.
Some special scenery had been procured and the costumes were elaborate, as the setting requires. The snow scene in the third act was perhaps the most dramatic.
"The Climbers" is a social play and was rather a difficult production for amateurs. But each member of the cast carried his part well. Keith Clevenger with the role of Richard Sterling was easily the star of the play. He was ably assisted by Edward Haney as Warden and Maurice Allendorfer as Mason. Alma Manley as Mrs. Hunter and Grace Warner as Mrs. Sterling showed real dramatic talent. Gretchen Rankin and Fern Eddie brought out all that was in their parts. Earl Grant as Trotter made a hit as the foppish aristocrat of New York.
"The Climbers" was the most difficult play ever attempted by a University dramatic club.

SHELDON COMING
TOPEKA DIVINE BEGINS WEEK ENGAGEMENT MONDAY.
Chapel Talk Daily, Lectures to Classes in Journalism, and Personal Conferences.
Dr. Charles M. Sheldon, eminent divine, author, and editor, will be at the University all of next week. He was engaged for a week's stay here before Christmas but sickness in his family caused a change of the date.
Doctor Sheldon lives in Topeka but his fame is in no way confined to Kansas. His time and ability are demanded all over the country and a year ago he was peevailed upon to spend three months in England and give his assistance in an important movement there. The Topeka minister's greatest work in a literary way is "In His Steps." This book made a profound impression.
Doctor Sheldon will speak at the chapel exercises every morning next week and will lecture to the classes in journalism while he is here.
Every morning immediately after chapel Doctor Sheldon will conduct conferences in the Greek office. All students, who wish to see and talk with him, will be welcomed at the conference hour.
Owing to unexpected duties in his church at Topeka Doctor Sheldon could not arrive for Vesper services tomorrow. Dr. F. K. Sanders, president of Washburn, will take his place at vespers.

LISTEN TO THE CRY OF WOLF! WOLF!
The Lawrence Gazette objects to Professor Carruth's candidacy for mayor on the ground that he is a University professor and therefore a theorist. It frankly asserts that The Gazette will be lined up for Bishop. The down town paper can find no fault with Professor Carruth aside from the fact that he has too much education and is therefore impractical. The Gazette is of course voicing the sentiment of a fraction of the down town people—a sentiment which grows more pronounced as one travels to the east and north of the city. But we would not question the sincerity of the Gazette. It is an idea borrowed from the time of the cloister and the hermit philosophers, that the educator is impractical and visionary. That notion, however, perished with the coming of the educator out into the world of everyday affairs. Professor Carruth has demonstrated beyond a doubt that he is an immensely practical man. He has served with distinction six years in the city council and on the city school board. The Gazette says it would be glad to support him for Chancellor, which, of course, is a position requiring much more executive ability, much more business sagacity than the office of mayor. If Professo: Carruth is an impractical man it must be impractical to live upright to start in adversity and through one's own efforts become a great scholar. It must be an impractical man who has taken a lively interest for many years in all the affairs of a city and a great university and in every case has made a decided suc-
The notion that a man cannot be an educated man and still a man of practical things is obsolescent if not obsolete. It would take too much space to comment on the long list of college professors who have served in public life with distinction. To the critics it would
be well for them to read something of the life of Seth Low or of Professor Royal Copeland, who was the best mayor Ann Arbor ever had. Woodrow Wilson, a university president, has been prominently mentioned as a candidate for the presidency of the United States. One is inclined to suspect that those who think Professor Carruth an impractical man are the same ones who consider clean government as a Utopian delusion; the same ones who agree with Ingalls that purity in politics is an iridescent dream; the same ones who believe law enforcement is an unreality, and decency in government as radical as it is repugnant to them. But it is not easy to delude Lawrence people with a false cry for there are too many in the "impractical" educated class here who have the ability to separate the crass from the true, to vote for good government, a greater and united University and city of Lawrence.
James Metcalfe, the dramatic critic of Life, comments on the changed attitudes of the universities of the country toward the drama on the occasion of the presentation of a play in New York by Yale students. A few years ago, if they did not actually frown upon the staging of plays by students, there was an attitude of passive acquiescence in such things. Now, however, all that is changed, and the universities instead of studying

only the drama of the past are disposed to regard the drama of the present as a living force in literature. The Yale students were trained for their New York play by the best professional talent that could be secured and other schools are giving help to students who show a liking for the stage. The University of Kansas has not developed to that point as yet, but it can and does exert an influence to developing a taste for the best drama. Along this line is the effort of the University to secure a return engagement of "the Servant in the House" which made a profound impression at its first performance here.
President Hill of Missouri, in his chapel speech yesterday, said that it was not better to come to school and loaf than not to come at all. He evidently thinks that the atmosphere of Mt. Oread is not so permeated with culture that the very breathing of it makes a man wise, and that the walls are not yet so classic as to impart learning to those who lean against them.
The pessimistic correspondent of the Topeka Capital says he lost a girl because he was poor. If he has only lost one girl in five years he is much more fortunate than hundreds of others who have plenty of money.
Again the season of the year has rolled around when the list of those injured coasting down Mt. Oread is heralded to an expectant public.

TENNIS PLAYERS PRACTISE.
Many Good Tournaments Arranged for This Spring.
The University tennis players are beginning to prepare for their spring matches by a series of indoor practice games. Within a week the squad will start working out on the gymnasium courts. This will give the advantage of unlimited practice and will put them in good form for the coming tournaments.
The men who now compose the squad are: Watson, Purton, Farnsworth, Seddon, Bigelow, Wood, Leland, Lee, and Richardson. From these players a captain will be chosen who will have general supervision over the teams in practice work and tournaments. This place will no doubt go to Watson since he is the only man on the squad who played with last year's team and since he was the only man to finish the preliminary tryout with a percentage of 1000.
The spring schedule will probably include Nebraska, Missouri, St. Marys, Baker, Washburn and Fairmount. More active interest is being taken in this line of athletics this year than ever before.
Drug Company Gives Books.
A donation from Parke, Davis & Co., of Detroit, Michigan, through the branch house in Kansas City, has been sent to the department of Pharmacy for an addition to its library. The donation consists of some twenty or thirty volumes of medical and pharmaceutical books. This makes the donation to the library somewhere in the neighborhood of two thousand dollars. A letter from the donors states that they will now be sending to the University every month, or at least at the end of every three months, a box of unbound volumes, consisting mainly of magazines.

Clay Clement, Stage Star, Visited at Phi Psi House.
"I've heard how Kansas made such a fine record in football this year," said Clay Clement, the noted actor, playing in "A Servant in the House," Thursday, "and you beat Iowa too. I remember how Kansas beat Iowa when Iowa was so strong."
Mr. Clement then inquired of Professor Hodder, who was present, concerning the enrollment of the University. When told that Kansas claimed twenty-two hundred, he seemed greatly surprised.
Mr. Clement visited the Phi Psi house while in Lawrence He is an alumnus of that fraternity from the University of Chicago. He was a member of the class of 1883 from institution.
"We in the East," he said, "do not realize the size of your University, though we often hear of its greatness. Twenty-two hundred! No wonder I saw so many young people at the opera house."

PRESIDENT HILL SPOKE.
Head of Missouri Discussed Technical and Cultural Education.
President Albert Ross Hill, of the University of Missouri, in chapel yesterday presented an interesting discussion of the respective claims of professional life and of culture upon the student. He first emphasized the fact that culture does not merely inhere in certain studies but as a by-product may be secured from any subject that is approached in the right attitude. But he does not believe that culture will be obtained from "drifting" in any academic course. He thoroughly disbelieves the scholastic theory that it is better to have come and loafed than never to have come at all.
On the other hand President Hill pointed out that the technical course may leave the student with a lack of perspective and a narrowness of vision. The course which leaves out entirely the fundamentally humanistic studies can not furnish the best preparation for a professional life. Professor Hill cited his experience as an instructor in Cornell as a proof of the value of a cultural course for technical students.
Though separate schools allow simplicity of work President Hill believes that it is desirable to have the academic and technical work combined in the same school.

FOUR WORKMEN STRIKE.
ATTEND THE
Work on Building Hindered by Illness of Contractor.
Three carpenters and one plumber quit work on the new main engineering building this morning because they have not received any pay for five weeks. There is a little general dissatisfaction among all the workmen on account of the slowness with which they have been paid but at present there are no indications of a general strike.
The delay of the contractors in paying the laborers is due to the illness of Mr. Hopper, the head of the contracting firm. His condition is such that he cannot be seen and the junior member of the firm refuses to take the responsibility of paying the men. Most of the workmen understand the existing conditions but workmen are used to a regular pay day and on that day expect their wages so they think that some arrangement should be made for prompt payment. On account of this discontent the work on the building is progressing slowly.
At the Adelphic meeting yesterday, R. Muir told of his experiences while visiting Italy. He described the Vatican and his audience with the Pope. The ship subsidy question was debated.

SQUAD DOWN TO HARD WORK
HARD GAMES OF BASKETBALL SCHEDULE ALMOST HERE.
"Phog" Allen Regular Coach Now —Training Men to Use Short Pass for Small Courts.
"Phog" Allen is to coach the Jayhawker basketball team the rest of the season. He quit the K.C.A.C.last week and will now devote two nights each week to showing the Kansans the fine points about the great mid-winter college game.
Last night the Varsity and Freshmen were pitted against each other for an hour. For the first half hour of play the Freshies were strong and held the score down to 26 to 18. In the last twenty minutes of play, though, the Varsity scored 25 field goals. It developed in this practice game that the Jayhawkers are woefully weak in playing the short pass game. Coach Allen says that the team will have to overcome this defect in order to win the games on the foreign courts as most of them are small.
The Kansas team plays Nebraska on the 29th and 30th of this month in Lincoln. These games do not count in the division championship series as Nebraska belongs to the northern division of the conference. On Feb. 3 and 4 the Tiger five is here. The Jayhawkers play Washington University in St. Louis Feb. 10 and 11 and the two nights following this they play the Missouri at Columbia. The division championship series will be ended in Robinson Gymnasium on Feb. 20 and 22, when the Washington University team plays the Jayhawkers.
The conference championship series will be played the last week in February. The time and place of playing this series will be determined when the division series are ended.
Kansas 53, William Jewell 12.
In a slow, sluggish game the Jayhawkers defeated the William Jewell team by a score of 53 to 12 in Robinson Gymnasium Saturday night. Martindell, the speedy Jayhawker guard, got a finger broken early in the game and will be unable to play for some time. This will handicap the Kansas team somewhat.
SHELDON SPEAKS
The Stout club gave a party in I. O.O.F.Hall Saturday night.
EVERY MORNING THIS WEEK AT CHAPEL HOUR.
His Subject is "The Spirit in Man" He Spoke Yesterday and Today.
Dr. Charles M. Sheldon, the noted author and pastor of Topeka, began the week which he is giving to the students of the University of Kansas with a short, vigorous talk in chapel Monday morning. He announced his theme for the week as "The Spirit in Man" and opened his remarks with the quotation"It is the Spirit which giveth life" from the words of Christ whom Dr. Sheldon said is the great authority on life. In order to gain this spiritual life no one need neglect or despise the body. For his third point Dr. Sheldon stated that no one need get away from the world to grow spiritually and any tendency towards that attitude is a mistake. "The way to get goodness is to fight badness." In closing he emphasized the reality of the spiritual life.
Dr. Sheldon continued his talk this morning to a much larger audience. Just as truly as no two persons make identical prints with their finger tips so no two personalities are the same. Therefore each individual must develop his personality along distinct lines. Dr. Sheldon then drew illustrations from mechanical life to illustrate the fact that the spiritual life is very sensitive to the impressions of God. As a drop of water upon an unprotected telephone wire destroys its use fulness so a very little thing will prevent the sensitiveness of the Spirit.
Dr. Sheldon will continue his chapel talks during the week and will speak to the Y, W. C. A. add Y. M. C. A. meetings on Wednesday afternoon and evening. He will also meet the students each day in Prof. Wilcox's office between chapel and noon.
The largest machine at the University was installed in the new power plant last Saturday. It is a combined generator and steam turbine which cost $4000. It weighs 15,000 pounds and was taken to the building with the aid of a large traction engine.

Lawrence a Good Place for John D. To Place Spare Change—Students Good Source of Income.
College life is not merely a matter of studying and of grade getting. There should grow into the student certain associations and traditions which make so large a part of college life," said the Minnesota Daily in a recent issue, discussing the advisability of erecting dormitories at Minnesota. Imagine the associations and traditions of a rooming house or boarding club in Lawrence?
A student, however, pays enough in Lawrence to get all the "traditions" he could want. Rooms that rent for $10, $12 and $14 today rented for $6 and $8 a few years ago. But with this increase in rent, the accomodations have failed to keep pace.
In the 1400 block on Tennessee street, there is a house, the value of which is about $4000. The rent for this place is $60 per month for twelve months. This does not include heat, light and water. The cost for these items ranges from $25 to $40 a month and must be paid for by the students in the house. This $720 for rent is clear money to the owner and represents a return of 18 per cent to the investor.
Another house on East Lee street rents for $700 a year. This is absolutely clear return for the property owner as the cost of heat, light and water is met by the students. This amounts to $30 or $35 per month. The interest on this investment is fully 15 per cent.
These are two examples of the high rent which must be paid by the students and which represents a clear return for the investor.
First Kansas Magazine Out.
In the first number of the "Kansas" magazine, published at Wichita this month, a number of people connected with the University are represented. Professor W. H. Carruth has a poem in the number, "Dreamer of Dreams." William Allen White has a short review of Kansas politics. There is also an account of the Kansas-Missouri football game by Griffin Ordway, with a cut of the K. U. team, Missouri valley champions.
ON THE CARPET
MEMBERS OF MASQUE BEFORE DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE.
No Punishment Decided upon— Trying to Locate Responsibility for Affairs.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon the disciplinary committee took up the matter of the Masque club's trip to Liberty, Mo., against the orders of the University council. All the members of the club were summoned to appear before the committee. The hearing was held in the Latin office. The members of the club were called in one at a time in quick succession and subjected to a rapid fire of questions from the committee, and then dismissed.
The committee was merely trying to get at the facts of the whole affair and to determine where the responsibility for the breaking of the decree of the University council really rests. The subject of punishment will not be discussed until it is definitely found whether the manager or the members of the caste knowingly broke the rules.
The Kansan Is Yellow.
Editor Kansan: Do you mind my telling you that for a student paper I consider The Kansan a fake? It is filled with a lot of editorials written by a young man who has a fairly good vocabulary but no sense. The Kansan is a radical paper from start to finish with scarcely any news in it ever and that little news written up like the items in one of Hearst's "Americans." What do your subscribers care for the editor's opinion about people and things? I'd like to read an unbiased editorial in your paper for once. Some young man wrote an article on the value (?) of education. In some respects he was just right and I fail to see why The Kansan should fill up space with a stinging editorial about some one who has not discovered yet as good a graft as you. Kansas University is no place for The Kansan staff. Its members know too much to learn more here. They even score the editors of local papers—men who have been in business since before you were born. Why waste your time here? And why call your paper a student paper? Student means one who studies and that surely does not apply to The Kansan board. Try and give us a good edition and not so much yellow journalism. A SUBSCRIBER.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1909
Another correspondent to the Topeka Capital, who signs himself "A K. U. Student," says The Kansan is entirely wrong in saying that the student without money is not snobbed at the University. He says The Kansan knows that a man without a "fat" allowance cannot belong to a fraternity. It is difficult to tell just what a "snob" is but we will venture there are fewer of them in the University than in any town the size of the University in the state. Snobbery and ignorance go together. Education and snobbishness are incompatible. There are no class distinctions in the University of Kansas. The individual himself determines how he shall be regarded by his fellow students. Within the last two years at least four students who were either washing dishes or waiting on tables in boarding clubs have become members of fraternities. Money is not a qualification for entrance to the fraternities. At the social functions the fraternity and non-fraternity people meet on a level. We are inclined to think that the distinction which the correspondent to the Topeka paper feels is more a figment of the imagination than a true statement of conditions as they are.
It has been intimated in certain quarters that the Kansan's support of Professor Carruth for mayor of Lawrence is looked upon as "pernicious activity" by down town business men. "You fellers stay on the hill where you belong, and leave the matter of governing the town to the business men who keep the town going," is the way one of them put it. The idea that city government affects the men who take in money along the business streets more closely than the people who spend money with them is apt to be popular with business men; they are apt to lose sight of the fact that men whose names do not appear on the signs of down town shops may have quite as much interest in seeing the
town run right. The Kansan feels that in representing over 2000 of the town's population, who spend more than $4000 every day with the town's merchants, it is entitled to offer its support to a candidate for mayor who will give Lawrence a clean and progressive administration.
The sudden solicitation of down-town paper in deprecating a student joke and trying to make a mountain out of a molehill shows that it makes all the difference in the world who the joke's on.
Lost—A watch fob, blue silk ribbon and gold locket—return to Kansan office.

NOMADS OF THE ROCKIES.
Indian Hunters and Trappers Visit the University.
A half breed Indian trapper and guide by the name of Wilson, with his father and a pack of bear dogs, was in Lawrence yesterday. He visited the University Museum in the afternoon soliciting patronage as a collector of specimens for natural history museums. At present he is working for Yale and several other large institutions.
Young Wilson and his father are returning from Mexico to which country they guided a government party from Alaska through the Rocky Mountains. They stopped at the University of Missouri and were mistaken for negroes, receiving harsh treatment.
From here this pair of hunters will go to Belle Grade, Montana from which place they start on a cross country trip to Alaska. They sell furs and pan gold when they need money. The dogs are used for hunting and sledging purposes.
Wilson knows the Canadian country like a book. He also knows every crook and turn in the Rocky Mountains from Northern Alaska to Mexico. Besides his hunting he finds time to write articles for the "Outdoor" Magazine.
UNIVERSITY CLUB SOON.
Committees Working on Plan for New Organization.
The University Club will soon be a thing of reality unless all signs fail. A thorough canvass of the faculty members was made a short time ago and over three-fourths of them are highly enthusiastic over the project.
A permanent committee to supervise the plan with W. H. Carruth as chairman, and two sub-committees have been appointed. One sub-committee is drafting articles of incorporation, bylaws, rules and regulations. The other is working out the financial end of the matter and arranging for the club and its location.
The reports of the committees will soon be presented and submitted to the faculty for adoption.

BAILEY ON EXAMINING BOARD.
Inspected Conditions at the State Penitentiary.
Professor E. H. S. Bailey accompanied the commission recently appointed by Governor Hoch to make investigations at the penitentiary. This week an examination was made of sanitary conditions, especially of the heating, ventilation, and food supply. The air in the prison cells was examined after the prisoners had left in the morning, and it was found to be nearly of as good quality as the the air outside. One day was spent in examining the mines, and samples of air were tested. The results showed that, for mine air, the atmosphere was considerably above the average both in the main passages and in the places where the men actually work.
The food store-house, kitchens, and dining rooms were inspected, and the warden furnished a list showing the total amount and varieties of food consumed during the entire year. As for the quality of the food, it was found to be above the average of food for men in ordinary condition. The nutritive value of the food was also found to be high. The results altogether showed the food to be satisfactory both in quality and quantity.
KANSAS OIL THIRD.
Professor Bushong is Working on Oil Products.
"Kansas oil ranks third in the world," said Prof. F. W. Bushong, to a Kansas reporter this morning. "Pennsylvania oil is superior to all other oils, while Kansas oil would rank even with the Ohio product but for the presence of sulphur."
Mr. Bushong is working on Greenlee's Scholarship for the procuring of new products out of chemical compounds. So far the investigation has revealed the presence of many forms of oxalic acid in the oil. The investigation will not be finished for several years.
"I do wish that girls would stop wearing those big hats in class. I can't even see the professor's face," said a poor senior yesterday.
Agreement Is Impossible.
"How lucky for me that the girls in economics wear Merry Widows. A fellow can snooze the whole hour and the teacher can't get wise to it on account of the hats," was the remark of a sophomore.
Thus is the world ever divided over the simplest questions.

REPRODUCE "THE CLIMBERS."
Thespians to Stage Their Play for Third Time Thursday.
In response to the urgent demands of students and of down town theatre goers, the managers of "The Thespians," have agreed to reproduce "The Climbers" in Bowersock's opera house on Thursday evening, January 21. The many other attractions held last week gave the going public too much to see and many could not attend the Thespians.
The same cast of twenty-two people that gave the play last Thursday and Friday take part in the presentation. "The Climbers" is the heaviest play ever produced by a University dramatic company.
Dormitory Life Lauded.
The Women's Dormitory at Wisconsin, Chadbourne Hall, provides a comfortable and pleasant home for more than a hundred girls. So popular is it that applications for entrance must be sent in months ahead of the opening of the academic year. Recently the regents restricted its use to freshmen and sophomores because it was found that girls who were fortunate enough to find places at the hall in their first year very often returned year after year, thus making it impossible for freshmen to enter. And this is true in a city in which students, women as well as men, have but little difficulty in finding good rooms and goad board, and where the problem of pleasant and comfortable life is not so serious as at Minnesota.—Anna Helmholtz Phelan.
Dormitory life meant in my college protection and tutelage, communal responsibility and comradeship with a large group of people. It brought into our college life the personal touch of people older and better than ourselves. Its social standards were democratic, and loneliness and friendliness could not long exist under its genial and cheery influence. One did not have to go far for what one needed were it mental uplift or an audience for a hornpipe.- Dorothy Derickson, Wells College, in Minnesota Daily.
Jessie Baldridge, a senior in the college, has returned to school for the spring term. Miss Baldridge left school in the fall on account of the illness of her father. ___

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME V.
LONGBOAT TO VISIT HERE
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 21. 1909
--talked of Ministry to Y. M. C. A.
In his talk at the Y. M. C. A. meeting Wednesday evening Dr. Chas. M. Sheldon gave his ideas of the requisites of a minister and the requirements made of one in these days of large opportunities. "The ministry is a profession which puts a man in touch with all kinds of men and world problems," said Dr. Sheldon. To illustrate the demands made upon a pastor he sketched the number of things which he was called upon to do in the course of a fourteen hour day. He urged the boys to consider the opportunity for brainy men in the ministry at a time when other professions and many lines of business are overcrowded. Following his address he gave time for general questions.
GREAT INDIAN RUNNER WILL GIVE VARSITY POINTERS.
Longboat, the great Indian long distance runner, who will run the Marathon in Convention hall in Kansas City sometime in March, will come to Lawrence afterward and assist Track Coach Hagerman in giving the Varsity runners a few pointers. Mr. Hagerman and Longboat are friends, the former having trained the red man for three weeks, some three years ago in Ontario, Canada.
To be Here Before Convention Hall Meet Which is Changed to March 26.
Like all of his race, Longboat is a blunt fellow and his remarkable records have been made, not so much from careful training as through sheer ability which nature has so beautifully bestowed upon him. However, Longboat in his plain, pointed way will be able to give the Varsity runners pointers, which should do an inestimable amount of good. It is also the plan to have Longboat give an exhibition in Robinson Gymnasium, and that he may better demonstrate his ability the four best Kansas runners will be selected to compete with the champion.
Much to the satisfaction of Coach Hagerman, the date for the indoor track meet to be held in Convention hall, Kansas City, has been changed from March 12 to March 26. The change is especially welcome because it lengthens the period of preparation. Convention hall is booked with other engagements until the last of March.
FRESHMEN VS. WESTPORT.
First Year Men Will Play Curtain Raiser Friday Night.
The freshman basketball team, as a curtain raiser to the Kansas-Ottawa game, will play the Westport High School of Kansas City Friday evening. The freshmen will be at a disadvantage as they have been playing under intercollegiate rules, while the game will be played under those of the A. A.U.
The first year team will present a patched line-up. Van der Vries, forward, suffered a broken nose last week and will probably be out of the game.
Edmund Bartholow has returned to the University after three weeks'absence,on account of the illness of his father.

TALKED CASEIN TO CHEMISTS.
E. L. Tague is Trying to Extract Product from Buttermilk.
NUMBER 43
Mr. E. L. Tague, a fellow in Industrial Chemistry, gave a very interesting talk Wednesday afternoon at the weekly meeting or the Chemical Club. His subject was "Casein", He told that it is an albuminous substance, obtained by precipitation from milk, and is somewhat related to cheese. It is a very desirable substance because of its many uses. It serves as glue, medicine, food to some extent, to make waterproof and fireproof paint, to print wall paper, to make imitation leather, and to make oils and photographic plates.
The work that Mr. Tague is doing for his fellowship is the extraction of casein from buttermilk. At present in the large dairies buttermilk is poured out as worthless.
NEW FELLOWSHIP.

After leaving the University last spring, he went first to Guatamala and then to Honduras. He has been appointed to take charge of the National Institute and two normal schools in Tegucigalpa. Professor Bassett has received copies of several Spanish newspapers, sent by Mr. Schoch.

A UNIVERSITY OF THE PEOPLE
WISCONSIN IS WORKING FOR THE STATE.
Professor Duncan in Report to Chancellor Tells How a University Can Reach Rich and Poor.
Last session ninety per cent of the bills in the legislature of the state of Wisconsin were arranged and drafted in the University legislative bureau. Before the present session opened sixty per cent of the legislators of the state had visited the bureau to get information relative to some proposed legislation The university bureau is now working on about fifty bills for the present session of the legislature.
In this way is the University of Wisconsin rendering a service to the state in a practical way and giving the people of the state the benefit of the knowledge which only specialists can possess on problems of society and government. Professor Robert Kennedy Duncan, of the industrial chemistry department, has just returned from the northern university where he went to investigate the relations of the university to the state. He has made a report to Chancellor Strong.
This legislative board prior to each session of the legislature collects all the information it can on every proposed piece of legislation. It secures copies of the laws of other states, finds the defects, and with its knowledge of economic, political and legal problems corrects them. Thus in the state of Wisconsin is growing up a body of legislation superior to that of any state in the Union. The bureau began in 1901 with an allowance of $1500 and has steadily grown in importance and in popularity with both the legislature and people until at this session it was itself forced to oppose a bad piece of legislation which provided for an appropriation of $50,000 for its own expenses, says Professor Duncan in his report.
Among the most important work the university is doing at the present is in the administering of the public utilities law which is under the direction of the railroad commission whose chairman is a lecturer in the university on political science, B. H. Meyers. The administration of this law as of many other laws requires the greatest technical skill and could not be administered without the aid of the university. The Tax commission is also under the direction of the university men and has been conducted on a sound economic basis.

ONLY FIVE MEN LEFT.
Basketball Squad Is Weakened by Injuries.
The Jayhawker basketball squad is cut down to five men. Martindell, the speedy right guard has a broken finger. Wohler went home sick the first of the week and last night "Tommy" Johnson, the crack forward, sprained an ankle. Johnson will be unable to play before the Nebraska games, the last of next week.
This string of accidents is going to play havoc with the Jayhawkers' chances for an evervictorious team. Woodward, McCune, Bergen, Heizer, and Long are the men left on the squad. If one of these men should get hurt before the Washburn game Saturday night the Congregationalists have a good chance of winning the game as they have a strong team. The Ottawa five plays here Friday evening.
TO PREVENT DUPLICATION.
Proposed Law Defines Fields of University and Aggie School.
Two bills designed to do away with duplication of work in the University and Agricultural school were introduced into the legislature yesterday-one in the house and one in the senate. Both bills provide that after July 1,1909,the University shall offer no courses pertaining to agriculture and that the Agricultural school shall give no course in any professional science.
Talked of Ministry to Y. M. C. A
If one of these bills becomes a law, the school of engineering at the agricultural school will be discontinued.
No Action Yet.
No definite action has been taken by the disciplinary committee regarding the Masquers. The committee has finished its investigations and will report to the University Council the first of next week.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1909
The suggestion made by Chancellor Strong that it may be more important for the state to establish a department of agriculture at the University than to maintain a school of engineering at the Agricultural College is referred to by the Topeka Capital this morning as a "counterplot" and "ruse" or the part of the University to take the school of engineering away from the Agricultural College. But the suggestion is entitled to consideration on its merits. As the Chancellor pointed out in his report to the governor, farming is and must remain the greatest industry of Kansas. If the provisions of the state constitution had been carried out by establishing the agricultural school as one department of the University, the student who intended to go back to the farm after he had finished his course could get his specialized training in agriculture and at the same time do some University work. In this way the service which the University was designed to render the state could be greatly extended.
There is one appropriation the University is asking for that from the viewpoint of the welfare of the student body is the most important of all the sums asked for. This is the request made for $75,000 for the erection of a girls' dormitory. The girls of the University should take a special interest in this matter whether they would be benefited by a dormitory or not. At one of the northern state universities the girls met and chose a committee of about twenty beautiful co-eds to visit the legislature and some of them made speeches. Of course the appropriation went through with a hurrah. Why not do the same thing here.
The Kansan gets many communications that are unsigned. These can not ordinarily be published. All communications should be signed, but the name will not be printed if requested.
Kemp Shares This One.
Someone said: You can't write a man down by writing him up.
The following communication from Wallace Notestein who was an instructor in history here two years ago, but is now at the University of Minnesota, is self-explanatory. In justice to The Kansan it can be stated that the facts upon which the editorial comment in The Kansan was based were secured from The Michigan Daily.
Editor Kansan:—Your editorial on the University of Minnesota is interesting as illustrating the possibilities of error in twenty lines. The Medical School here does not and never has required Sunday attendance. At the request of some students a review class was to meet on Sunday. Before the first meeting the arrangement was stopped by the authorities. Two professors instead of six are to be retired and they are both going out on Carnegie pensions. Your remarks about "trampling on heaven and humanity and sentiment and all the finer things that make life worth living" are delightful.
The Kansan never fails to be entertaining. Only one favor I have to ask-give us a relief from Harry Kemp and all your other sins will be forgiven.
Amicably Yours,
WALLACE NOTESTEIN.

Lawrence
An angry papa left behind and two lovers speeding toward Memphis is the outcome of a romance of long standing between Maurice Henrie, a junior law from Onaga and Miss Florida Bryson, a junior in the school of fine arts from Overbrook.
Maurice Henrie and Miss Bryson Man and Wife since last Spring.
A MARRIED COUPLE ELOPES.
Mr. Henrie and Miss Bryson were students at Washburn college last year. There they fell in love with each other and were secretly married last spring. This fact did not leak out however until this week when the bride's father suspicion something and hastened to Lawrence.
Before the irate father arrived on the scene Mr. Henrie had taken his wife and hurried away to Topeka. From there they telephoned Mr. Bryson in Lawrence that they were going to Memphis. He answered that as far as he was concerned they could go to a hotter place than that. At this point his language became so hot that the fuse of the telephone burned out and further discourse became impossible.
The young married people are probably safely in Memphis by this time. Their plans for the future are unknown.
Oklahoma Finals Friday.

DR. SHELDON CONTINUES.
Talked Yesterday and Today on Spiritual Life.
In his talk in chapel on Wednesday morning Dr. Charles M. Sheldon gave attention to two misconceptions of long standing concerning the spiritual life. He said that the idea that the spiritual life is intended for old people and not for the young is a great mistake. He was glad to believe that people were more generally realizing that yonth is the natural time for looking for spiritual life. To disprove the misconception that a deep spiritual life causes men to give up things of value he said that the happiest people whom he knew were missionaries and that they had the largest supply of laughable stories.
This morning Dr. Sneldor spoke of five ways in which the spiritual life could be increased. He first mentioned the Bible which contains the record of how men have struggled out of sin into a higher life. Following this study should come the reading of biography for Dr.
Sheldon believes that living men have continued to make a bible. As examples of worthy lives he mentioned David Livingston, Frances Willard and Jerry McCauley. The third source of spiritual life is in the act of prayer. He then spoke of the power of the overcoming life. The man who overcomes sin in his own life desires to do good to others. Dr. Sheldon's last method for increasing the spiritual life was by faith. Though men may have doubts they should take the words of Christ and test them.

(Continued from page 1)
Another important work in which Wisconsin excells is the university extension. This work is done in four ways: (1) Correspondence study, (2) Instruction by lectures, (3) Debating and public discussion, (4) General information and welfare.
There are 1,504 students in the correspondence schools scattered over the state and the enrollment is increasing 150 a month. The work is carried on as it is by the large correspondence schools but in addition professors go out in the state and meet the students. Thus is the influence of the university becoming state wide. Laborers, apprentices, farmers, traveling men, stenographers, mechanics, salesmen, clerks, bankers, doctors, and business men are among the students in the correspondence schools.
In the lecture extension work the state has been divided into districts and superintendents with instructing staffs placed in each one. The state has been liberal in its appropriations for this work which is getting so close to the perspiring, workaday world.
The Agricultural department of the University has done a tremendous amount of work for the farmers of the state. "The agricultural department has already added more money to the state than the whole University could spend in fifty years," said the governor of the state to Dr. Duncan. The University has established a commercial school which has acquired such a reputation for efficiency that twenty per cent. of its students come from other states and it has five times as many applicants for help as it can supply.
In giving a reason for the ambitious work of the instructing staff in this what may be justly termed the people's university, Professor Duncan says: "Everywhere there is the creative spirit. The reason for this is that in accordance with the living faith of the institution, every man must do something and that something must be creative, not merely critical; promotion depends on it, and the respect of his colleagues."
The motto of the University of Wisconsin is: "The University an instrument in the upbuilding of the state."

PLAY BEGUN ON DIAMOND
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 23.1909
GOLF LINKS SCENE OF EARLY BASEBALL PRACTICE.
Many Men Out for Team.—Coach Ebright Satisfied With Prospect.
The breaking up of winter at such an early date has stopped indoor baseball practice and given the candidates for the Varsity a chance to get some early outdoor practice. For three days now the ball tossers have been on the golf links tossing the ball about the lot and limbering up for the hard work to come.
Coach Ebright has been watching the men closely but is unable as yet to give out any opinion concerning the individual men. He thinks, however, that the Jayhawkers will be able to hold their own in the great American game.
There are some forty men in school who can play baseball and who want to make the team. This afternoon at a meeting in the gymnasium a classification of the candidates was made to find out just what material is going to be eligible when the season opens. About twenty-five of the coach's list of forty men are eligible now.
"Swede" Carlson is to captain the team this year. Six men of last year's team are out for places. They are Carlson, Harlan, Rockefeller, Doubleday, Harvey and Gibbs. Harlan will head the pitching staff this year. Rockefeller and Johnson will fight it out for the backstop position. For first base there are several experienced candidates including Captain Carlson and Walker, first baseman for the freshmen last year. Gibbs will try for second base again. The rest of the infield will be filled with new men. There are a dozen candidates for the outfield with two of last year's men, Harvey and Doubleday, heading the list.
Ebright who is to coach the team is an old baseball head. He coached at Baker for several years and last year tutored the Tigers.
B. A. Earhart of the senior law class successfully passed the state bar examination at Topeka, Thursday.
OTTAWA WAS EASY.
Work of Kansans Improves Washburn Tonight.
The Ottawa basket ball team fell before the speedy Jayhawkers last night in Robinson gymnasium to the tune of 61 to 22. The work of the Kansans showed an improvement over that of the last few games.
The short pass which Coach Allen says the team must master before taking the trip to Lincoln Friday, was used effectively by the Jayhawkers. Long and McCune at forwards both played a great game. All of the members of the team did good work but it was spasmodic.
For the Baptists George at forward played a star game, throwing eight field goals.
Tonight the Jayhawkers will play Washburn for the first time this season. The Congregationalists have been playing good ball lately and with the Varsity in a crippled condition, have a good chance to spoil the enviable record of the Kansans.
Last night McCune had his elbow severely injured and now only four players are in first class condition.
FRESHMEN WERE REVENGED.
First Year Frat Men Dupe their Brothers.
As a result of the fact that they had been made the butt of several practical jokes, a few Freshmen fraternity men of the University decided to get even with their older brothers. The first year men framed up a typewritten circular letter purporting to be from one C.R.Morrow, agent for the Excello Tobacco Company of St.Louis. Each upper classmen in at least five fraternities received one of the letters. If the epistle was signed by the steward and the treasurer of the fraternity and presented to Mr. Morrow at Dick Bros. Drug Store Thursday evening at 7:30 each man would be presented with a 2 oz. can of Alpha Dora Preferencia smoking tobacco, the regular price of which was 25 cents.
Over fifty fraternity men, anxious to get in on a good thing flocked to Dick Bros. After waiting around about an hour and seeing or hearing nothing of the advance agent the greek letter men realized they were duped. With thier pipes burning lower than their spirits they filed silently away and the freshmen for once were revenged.

ATHLETIC BOARD AGAINST ABOLITION OF TRAINING TABLE.
Kansas to Protest Against Action of Conference—Nebraska with K. U.
The Athletic Board held an important meeting yesterday afternoon. The report of the proceedings of the Missouri Valley Conference which was held in Kansas City a short time ago, was presented and discussed.
At present there is a section in the conference rules which permits the establishment of training tables. The action of the conference was to drop this section. The representatives of Kansas voted against the abolition of the table.
At the board meeting yesterday the delegates were instructed to protest against the action of the conference. This move by Kansas will call for another vote on the question. If two thirds of the schools vote in favor of dropping the section training tables will be abolished. The vote of three schools will retain the section. It is not probable that these three votes can be obtained. At present only Kansas and Nebraska want training tables. The matter will be decided at the adjourned meeting of the conference at Des Moines, Iowa, on January 25. Manager W. C. Lansdon and Prof. C. L. McClung are the delegates from Kansas.
The main argument advanced in the conference meeting against the training table was that the men associated together so much that they could think of nothing but football. This was the principal cause that lead to its abolition in the Chicago Conference.
Last year Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas were the only schools which had training tables.

DR. SHELDON CLOSED.
Topeka Divine Ended Week's Stay Yesterday.
Dr. Charles M. Sheldon closed his week at the University yesterday. Every morning during his stay he occupied the chapel hour in discussions of the "Spiritual Life." Yesterday he reviewed his former talks and made an appeal to the students to recognize for themselves the force of spirituality in life and in the world. He said that we live in a great world of struggle for the good things and if we do not succeed in overcoming evil we will in turn be overcome. The person who conquers a fault will be helping others as no man lives to himself alone. He must struggle constantly and be able to endure opposition.
Dr. Sheldon emphasized the fact that the contest is no spectacular affair and must often be waged without any of the applause which encourages a football player or a public speaker. The laying hold on eternal life should be the main work of every person and one in which he will continue without regard to incidents which may tend to hinder.
In closing his talk Dr Sheldon mentioned the many needs for the spirit filled life in the state nation and other countries and urged his hearers to decide to live the life which the spirit of Christ brings.
In addition to his public addresses, Dr. Sheldon talked informally during the week, with many of the students. He was impressed with the earnest purpose which he so lately met.

A CHANGING VIEW OF EDUCATION AND THE STATE
Professor Robert Kennedy Duncan, in his report on the relations of the University of Wisconsin and the people of the state, tells of an instance when the university was attacked by certain interests, whose greed had been curbed by the university legislative bureau, of trade unions coming to the defense of the institution. Such an anomolous condition means more for the future of education than is at first apparent. This favoritism comes from the labor union world because the state university has taken an interest in the everyday lives of the people of the state. It has abandoned the ages old idea that education should be for only the fortunate few. The right to believe as one's conscience prompts, the right to a voice in government long ago passed from the hands of the few to those of the many. And now education, the necessary complement of both, is getting into the hands of the people. In Wisconsin at least it is going into the factory, the mine, the workshop, out on the farm, wherever men labor that all may live. It begins to realize that the materiality of education is the only fact that at present concerns society and that however good the vague something known as the spirituality of education may be, it can never come to the great mass of men until their material condition has been elevated. Education has always started at the top of the social rung, where least needed, and left all other classes void of its benefits. But in Wisconsin there is a reversal of things. First, the university is trying to extend the boundaries of the educated class; secondly, it is not waiting for the people to accept applied science, but through the legislative and administrative channels of the state is forcing the people to accept the imperious dictates of scientific government and social conduct.
If the report which Professor Duncan brought back from the state of Wisconsin could be read by every voter in the state of Kansas it might mean a transformation in the purposes of the State University which will result in a few years in changed ideals for society.
The more one sees of the rules that are being made in colleges over the country for the conduct of co-eds, such as forbidding the wearing of "peeka-boo waists,""pastel shades of hosiery" and so on the more one is inclined to believe that all such rules are more prudish than prudent.
Is it an example of the irony of coincidence that at about the same time that two score students are failing at the beginning of their career Phi Beta Kappa is electing to membership those who have been most successful at the close of a college career.
IS NOT POPULAR.
Anti-Fraternity Bill Stands Little Chance of Becoming Law.
Reports from Topeka indicate that Representative Ravenscraft's bill to abolish fraternities in the University is not taken very seriously by the legislators. There are numerous fraternity men prominent in all factions of that body, and none of these are anxious to proclaim that the societies with which they were connected so nefarious that a law is needed to wipe them out. The "barb" legislators are disposed to spend their time on bills which they regard as of more importance to the state.
The bill, which was introduced into the House this week, provides that the board of regents shall deny to all students belonging to fraternities the privileges of the school. Failure to enforce this provision is punishable by a fine of $100 to $500.
May Festival Plans.
Plans are being perfected for the annual May concert of the Fine Arts school, which will be given the first week in May. The main attraction will be the Royal Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra of sixty-five members which is touring this country for the first time. The orchestra was formerly directed by Webber, Schumann and Wagner. Three or four singers will accompany the orchestra. Three concerts will be given.
Prof. A. M. Wilcox will lecture at 10:15 Tuesday in the Classical Museum on the reproductions of Mycenaean objects lately acquired by the university. He will also repeat the lecture at the same hour and place Friday for those who cannot attend Tuesday.

DR. SHELDON TO JOURNALISTS
Told Them What An Ideal Newspaper Ought to be.
Dr. Sheldon spoke to the newspaper classes Thursday morning on "What good a newspaper can do."
"The first thing a newspaper should do, in becoming an ideal one," he said, "is to tell the truth. This has been so little practiced that the public is becoming suspicious as to the truth of news."
Telling the truth, getting news in proportion, printing real news of the world, and using none but clean advertisements, were the features of an ideal papers, as outlined by Dr. Sheldon.
"Our greatest trouble" he continued, "lies in the fact that we have not learned to make good things as interesting as bad things. We are, however, indebted to the newspapers for one thing. They are always first in reform movements, helping to remove objectionable men from public life."
The Montreal Daily News is an example of Dr. Sheldon's ideal paper. It is a conservative, clean, paper, published to meet the tastes of the better newspaper readers.

The rain falls o'er the landscape and the mist obscures the sky. I'm feeling mighty lonesome and not the least bit spry. If I'd only been more firm at the starting of the term, had let all foolish things alone, I would not be compelled to bone. Bereft of friends and pleasures now, it's mighty hard to sweat and plow your nose thru books piled mountain high and cuss the things and groan and sigh.

SECONDATTEMPTSUCCESSFUL
George Whittemore Ended his Life in Waterville Thursday.
George Gordon Whittemore, the College freshman who attempted to end his life here a week ago Monday, drowned himself day before yesterday. Whittemore, after his first attempt at suicide, was taken to his home in Waterville. His relatives hoped that the open air would bring back his failing health and raise his depressed spirits. The young man was apparently recovering and seemed to be again in a normal condition.
Thursday he drove from Waterville to a small river outside of the town a short distance. Hitching his horse to a tree he plunged into the icy waters and sealed his fate.
Young Whittemore was a good student while in school and he numbered his friends by the score. Of extreme conscientiousness, he always thought that his work was not up to the standard and spent much time worrying about his studies.

The freshmen basketball team defeated the Westport high school team in the curtain raiser to the big game last night by a score of 38 to 18. The game was full of fast and rough playing. The freshies played furiously the first half but weakened a little in the second. Larson and Watson did especially good work for the first year men. Carl did the best work for Westport.
Junior Party.

AN EXCELLENT PLAY.
Miss Hortense Nielsen, who has made an enviable reputation as an actress of emotional roles, will be seen at Bowersocks Opera House on Monday, January 25, in Herman Sudermann's great play, "Magda." Miss Nielsen will appear in the leading role and is said to portray "Magda" with a marvelous intensity, spontaneity and a gift of delineation of the character that gives evidence of real greatness. Sudermann roles are probably the most difficult in all modern dramatic literature. There is such a depth and so much subtlety in all his works that it requires talent and skill as well as intelligence of a very high order to fully comprehend the great author's meaning and to interpret the characters. Miss Nielsen has added greatly to her splendid reputation by her capable presentation of "Magda." An excel nt company lends ample support to the star.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME V.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 26, 1909
WISCONSIN'S EFFICIENCY
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE IS CONNECTED WITH UNIVERSITY
Service to State Is Cheaper and More Efficient than in Separated Schools.
That the Agricultural College of the State of Wisconsin owes its remarkable efficiency and a record for service to the people of that state which makes the work of many other state agricultural schools seem puerile in comparison, largely to the fact that it is a department of the University of Wisconsin, is the opinion commonly held by the people of Wisconsin. Prof. Robert Kennedy Duncan when on his recent mission to Wisconsin, made special inquiry into the work of the Agricultural School. He found that that department was organized in the closest harmony with the other departments of the university, and all co-operate to render a maximum of service to the state for a minimum of cost.
Professor Duncan inquired of high officials and instructors of the agricultural school, and of outsiders, to find the explanation of the school's efficiency. The answer was always the same: "It is because of our connection with the University." The instructors explained that being free from instructional duties in general subjects, the department is able to devote itself intensively to teaching and research in agriculture, and all funds received by the department are devoted exclusively to that work. Owing to the University connection, the department has been saved the expense of developing engineering courses or any other that would have distracted it from its sole business: agriculture.
Because of its connection with the University, the school is able to attract a superior grade of ability in instructors and researchers which it could never secure if it were an independent institution. With the efficient laboratories of the university at its command, the students in the four years' course are given an efficient training which could not be approached if the school were separate. The students have additional advantages in being participants in all the larger interests of the University.
(Continued on page 4)
In the service accomplished for the farmers of the state the agricultural college has received efficient aid from the University. In increasing the yield of corn and potatoes per acre, improving the quality of tobacco grown in the state, and in making an exterminating
NAISMITH BACK FROM EAST
Visited Many Schools and Gymnasiums on His Long Trip.
Dr. James Naismith returned from his eastern trip Saturday. During Christmas week he attended the meeting of college physical directors held in New York City; since then he has been visiting the gymnasiums of different universities and colleges in the east.
The system of class competition in athletics which Dr. Naismith discussed at the directors' meeting was received favorably. A few colleges have already adopted systems similar to this.
The new gymnasium which Northwestern is building is the greatest one in America, says Dr. Naismith. It has besides regular rooms for gymnastic work an indoor baseball diamond with a dirt running track around it. The building is to cost between $2,500,000 and $3,000,000.
While in Philadelphia, Dr. Naismith made a study of professional basketball. The professional game is played under a set of professional rules and is slower than the college game. The particular feature of the game is the good feeling existing between the players. New York is the center of eastern collegiate basketball.
Magill, Toronto and Ottawa Universities in Canada were visited by Dr. Naismith. It is at these institutions that the great sport of hockey is played so much. According to the doctor it is the fastest amateur game in the world. The University of Toronto is arranged like the University of Iowa. The sports of the northern colleges are hockey, socket, rugby, lacrosse.
NUMBER 49
Dr. Naismith says he would not trade the University of Kansas gymnasium for any one he saw on the trip for accomodating the different branches of work.
Miss Cottlow's Piano Recital.
The recital Thursday evening by Miss Augusta Cottlow in Fraser Hall will be of special interest to students. Not only is Miss Cottlow the best known perhaps of the younger American pianists, but her program includes Mac Dowell's "Heroic Sonata," which is considered the greatest of American piano compositions, being an interpretation of Tennyson's "Passing of Arthur." This will be the pianist's last appearance in Lawrence for some time as she is going for a long concert tour in Europe this fall.
Professor Erasmus Haworth is away on a short trip to the western part of the state in geological interests.
DES MOINES THE PLACE
CONFERENCE TRACK MEET IN IOWA CAPITAL JUNE 5.
Training Table not taken up at Yesterdays Meeting—Number of Contests Limited.
At the meeting of the Missouri Valley Conference in Des Moines yesterday that city was decided upon as the place for the Conference track meet to be held on June 5. The Iowa city is not so centrally or conveniently located as Kansas City, but the inducements offered were fair and far the best submitted to the representatives.
Haskins Stadium in Des Moines is a natural amphitheatre. It is one of the best arranged athletic fields in the West and is an ideal place for the big track meet.
The matter of retaining the clause permitting training tables was not taken up. A vote will be taken at some future meeting of the conference before the next football season and the table will then be formally eliminated or retained.
A rule as to the number of games each conference school could play was also adopted. Only eight contests in football, and eighteen in both baseball and basketball are hereafter to be permitted.
The representatives at the Des Moines meeting were W. C. Lansdon of Kansas, C. W. Hetherington of Missouri, R. G. Clapp of Nebraska, L. M. Byers of Iowa, F. M. Beyer of Ames, C. P. Waldon of Washington, and D. W. Morehouse of Drake.
Talked of Woman Suffrage.
Miss Caroline Lexon, of Bernard College, New York, and secretary of the College Equal Suffrage League, spoke in chapel this morning. In a short address she gave a general view of the woman suffrage question, showing four reasons for the movement. She said that there is a great need in every state for a modification of the common law where it concerns the interests of married women; and that, as a democracy, we are not playing fair when we exclude half of the people from voting. Women should have a voice in regulating laws for human welfare. Lastly, Miss Lenox thinks, a reform is needed from the point of view of the working woman, who should have some voice in determining the conditions under which she works. College women are especially interested in this movement because they are the first to receive its bene fit in coeducation.
BLAKE SIGNALS USED.
Submarine Signals Helped Locate the "Republic."
In locating the damaged steamer, Republic, which was wrecked on the New England coast Saturday, the Blake system of submarine signals, invented by Professor Lucien I. Blake, formally of the University faculty, played almost as important a part as the wireless telegraph. This is the first time the signals have been used in an accident, and long after the wireless signals on the Republic had failed to work the rescue ships were enabled to continue the search by means of the submarine signals. The principle of the system is the transmission of sound through water. The signal enables vessels in a fog to make their presence known to similarly equipped ships in a radius of five miles.
Professor Blake became the professor of physics in the University in 1888. He remained the head of the department of physics until 1905. He now lives in Boston and is consulting engineer for the Submarine Signal Company. Last winter Professor Blake spent a week at the University, giving a series of lectures on physics.
WASHBURN WAS SWAMPED.
Jayhawkers in Good Condition for Nebraska Trip.
The Jayhawkers beat the Washburn basketball five Saturday night in Robinson gymnasium by a score of 46 to 17. The game was a poor exhibition of playing in which roughness predominated. The Washburn men made twenty fouls while the Kansans made thirteen.
The large court and fast work of the Jayhawkers bewildered the Congregationalists from the first. "Tommy" Johnson threw eighteen free throws out of twenty chances. In the last part of the game Captain Woodward was retired on account of a temporary injury.
The Jayhawkers are in good condition for their tangle with the Cornhuskers Friday and Saturday nights of this week. Martindell is unable to play yet but will probably take the trip with the team.
Miss Watson Entertained.
Miss Carrie M. Watson, the University librarian, entertained the library assistants last Saturday evening in honor of her niece, Miss Carrie Nicholson, of Chicago. The evening was spent in an entirely informal way and light refreshments were served.

PLENTY OF WORK FOR BOTH SCHOOLS.
A bill has been introduced in the state legislature and also the state senate which defines the work of both the Kansas State Agricultural College and the State University. The move to remove the engineering school to Lawrence is supported by one of the regents of the Manhattan school, Edwin Taylor. The school at Manhattan is of course strongly opposed to the proposed change. If the school of Mechanic Arts was brought to Lawrence it is undoubtedly true that it would mean much for the State University, while it might mean a temporary set back for the Agricultural College. It would however, mean a tremendous saving for the state and would place both institutions in a position to go forward along definite lines in the performance of the boundless work that is just ahead of public higher educational institutions. The State Agricultural College need not suffer by the removal of some of its courses in mechanic arts and the sciences to the State University. The work that the Manhattan school can do in agriculture is tremendous and has only just begun. By concentrating all her energies or the problems of the cultivation of the soil and the life of the farmer she will not find a scarcity of work. But whatever is the outcome of the present agitation to define the work of the two schools, the broader question of rendering some service to the state should be the aim of both schools. The question whether one school teaches agronomy or the other teaches bridge construction or via versa is not of so much importance as that both schools push forward to aid in the progress of the state. The division and definition of the courses in each school is only to increase the efficiency of both schools and it need not lessen the possibilities for work which is now presented
to both. It is a ridiculous spectacle to see two great educational institutions, going on the assumption that there is just so much education in the state to dispense, and fighting to see which school shall do the dispensing.
If some of those who are crying that university professors are too impractical to hold public office could read the story contained in Professor Duncan's report of the way in which the state of Wisconsin is run better by University men than it has ever been run before, they would be appalled at their own stupidity.
It is now getting the time of the year when the dilatory student can begin to have a keen appreciation of those lines of Shakespeare:
"So you, to study now, 'tis too late, Climb o'er the house to unlock the little gate."
When the new list of Phi Beta Kappa members comes out, unless you are one of the fortunate few, it is well to be one of those who hoped for little and then your disappointment will not be grievous.
NEW YORK UNION MET.
Old K. U. People Spoke and Sang University Songs.
The New York Union of Graduates and former students of the University of Kansas has planned to hold five meetings in the future. The first of these meetings was held at the Bronx Park restaurant Friday evening.
Professor Franklin of Lehigh University presided. Professor W. C. Abbott of Yale talked on "The University of Kansas," and Laura E. Lockwood of Wellesley responded to the toast "College Awakening." Some of the other speakers were Eugene C. Caldwell of New York on "Science," Hervey White of New York on "Kansans Away From Home," Mrs. Gertrude C. Davenport on "Mrs. Carruth—a memorial," and Edwin E. Slosson on "Chancellor Snow—a memorial."
Mrs. Blanche Lyons sang a solo and led the Union in singing. At seven o'clock the meeting began with the singing of "The Crimson and the Blue" and later the Alumni song was sung by the Union.
At the regular meeting of the Quill Club last week the following new members were elected from among the students recommended by the English department as having done good work in courses in writing: Miss Sarah White, R. K. Dietrich, Fay Livengood, Miss Grace Thestrup, Miss Viola Shefler, Miss Gertrude Eson, Clifford Cole, Gail Sutton, Lucy Buck and Alice Asher.

--war on bovine tuberculosis,—in all these and numerous other things all the talent of the University has been at the service of the farmers of the state. The workers in the agricultural school fully appreciate the value of the service, as is shown by a statement made by the dean of the agricultural department to the effect that if the agricultural school, by separating itself from the university, could obtain vastly increased appropriations, still it would cling to the university, because of its ability to render more efficient service through that connection.
The University of Kansas is well represented in the field of politics.

NEWBOLD IS TRACK CAPTAIN
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 28, 1909
---
LOW HURDLER ELECTED OVER COOLEY YESTERDAY.
NUMBER 46
Track Team Begins Serious Work after Examinations-All Track Athletes Must Train.
With the election of a captain to fill the vacancy caused by Dennis' resignation, the team is ready to get down to serious work. The men are out several times each week conditioning themselves. As soon as the examinations are off training in earnest will begin.
Cecil Newbold of Rosedale was elected captain of the '09 track team yesterday afternoon. Edwin Cooley, the miler, was the only other candidate. At the election nine men, Newbold, Cooley, McCoy, Wenger, Martindell, Bergen, Stephenson, Parker, and Allendorfer, were eligible to vote.
Newbold is a sprinter and hurdler. He has run the fifty and hundred yard dashes the past two years and last year developed into a star low hurdler. At the Conference meet in Kansas City last spring he made the best time of the event in his heat of the low hurdles. This spring he will run the fifty in Convention Hall indoor meet and he will be Haddock's running mate in the hundreds in addition to his work in the low hurdles. Newbold is a member of the Sig Alph fraternity.
Coach Hagerman and Captain Newbold will ask each track man to promise to keep in active training all season, and any man who fails to diet properly or who will not come out to practice will be dropped from the team, according to the new plan.
Local Chapter and Alumni Celebrated Founders Day.
The Thetas gave their Founders' Day banquet last night at the chapter house. Miss Kate Riggs of Lawrence acted as toastmaster. Toasts were given by Misses Poff, Gossett, Baldridge, and Harrison, and by Mrs. Beatty and Mrs. Cargill.

LEGISLATORS TO VISIT HERE
WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEES HERE TOMORROW.
University Plant Will be Inspected and the Needs of School Investigated.
By invitation from Chancellor Strong the Ways and Means committees of both the Senate and the House will spend the entire day tomorrow at the University. The two committees and many legislators will come to Lawrence from Topeka on the Santa Fe plug. They will be met at the depot by a committee from the University and from the Lawrence Commercial club.
After a short drive over Lawrence the law makers will be taken up on the hill and the chapel exercises will be given into their hands. During the remainder of the day the committeeen will look over the University plant and obtain first hand knowledge of just what the school needs. After a thorough inspection of the different buildings and especially the structures in course of construction the two committees will meet in the offices and the Chancellor will make a final review of the requirements of the school.
The two Ways and Means committees are the most important and influential committees in the legislature. Their report upon the University appropriation will have a great influence with the legislators.
The committee from the House is led by Representative Stannard of Franklin County. The other members are Amrine, of Morris; Mercer, of Chase; Louder, of McPherson; Stockton, of Coffey; Edwards, of Greenwood; Jewett, of Sedgwick; Crumley, of Thomas; Flagg, of Jefferson; Rhodes, of Marshall; Shideler, of Crawford; Dennis, of Gove; Davis, of Bourbon; Cron, of Butler; Brown, of Kingman; White, of Ottawa; and Banker, of Russel.

PROF. BLACKMAR ON IRRIGATION
Professor F. W. Blackmar has finished a lengthy report on the development of irrigation and the reclamation service of the government in the arid west. This is the result of the work of four summers in investigating the chief irrigation plants in the Western States. Prof. Blackmar's exhaustive report will be published by the Carnegie institution of Washington.
ART EXHIBIT IS HERE.
Collection Will be Open to Public Tuesday.
The collection of pictures which will be placed on exhibition next week came in from Lincoln, Neb., last night and was brought up to the Museum building this morning. Packed for shipment the pictures filled an express car. Three large drays hauled them up the hill. Workmen have been busy all day removing the canvasses from their cases.
The exhibit will be opened next Tuesday. All the intervening time will be required to place the pictures in position. There are 236 of them, all the work of American artists. The exhibit will be larger than last year's, and Professor Griffith believes that the pictures to be shown have generally a higher order of merit than those of any previous year.
Plans are being made to have a number of University professors deliver lectures during the progress of the exhibit. These will include talks on American art and specific criticisms of the pictures on exhibition.
Some rare specimens have lately been received by Professor L. L. Dyche, in the department of systematic zoology.
Two black squirrels, procured from Johnson county, which are a black form of the red fox squirrel, and very rare, have just been received.
NEW SPECIMENS FOR MUSEUM Professor Dyche Gets Rare Squirrels and Opossums.
Two specimens of opossum have also been obtained. One of these is black, the other cinnamon brown, very extraordinary variations from the natural gray color of the 'possum.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1909
Kansas is taking the right position in opposing the abolition of the training table for her athletes. In the first place there appears to be no very good reason to do away with the training table and looked at from the Kansas viewpoint there are a good many reasons for its continuance. Men who play a hard football schedule should be provided with the best care and the diet most conducive to their health. The training table helps to overcome the bad effects of the strenuous practice the team is forced to undergo. Kansas football players after going through one of the hardest schedules in the Missouri Valley emerged at the close of the past season in excellent condition both physically and scholastically. The University of Kansas has no dormitories or publically conducted eating clubs such as the other schools of the Missouri Valley have and while Kansas would be greatly injured by doing away with the training table the other schools would not be affected as the athletes would continue to enjoy the benefits of a training table in the dormitories, or university boarding clubs.
It is coming time now to begin figuring on what kind of a track team the University is going to have this spring. The University is not scarce on material. There is all kinds of it going to waste. The team has one of the best coaches of any team in the country, and a captain for the coming year who has plenty of enthusiasm. It has an indoor track as good as any in the country. Now it is up to the University to turn out a winning track team. Only two things are in the way of a winning team: one is to keep the men eligible, and the other is to make the men train. It is up to every man who has any ability on the team to see that he himself and others on the team keep up their school work. It is up to the organizations and the student body to put such a strong brand of disapproval on the flunker, who can not keep on the organization, that it will be a disgrace to flunk.
The rapid growth of schools of journalism in all parts of the country is one of the most hopeful signs of the change which higher education is undergoing from the critical to the creative.
The University of Missouri continues to expand this all important, but, new department of the university, and the University of Colorado has just decided to make a school of journalism one of her departments. The power of the press is unquestioned. The press it is that becomes despot when the real monarch no longer reigns. There is no department of American life that needs the influence of academic training as does the newspaper world. It is not hard to imagine a time, not far distant, when journalism will be a profession which requires a university training and has some code of ethics not hedged about by the dollars received in advertising; or corruptible by the purchasers and stiflers of public opinion.

week night unless it is to the theatre, or some other place where there is a good fat admission. Now of course such rules are all very good for the theatre proprietor, but it makes dates come too high during the week, and is not fair to the college man of limited means. Then the rules committee should define just how low the price limit can go or some of the cheap ones will soon be ringing in the nickle shows—indeed if they have not done it already.
Again the time of the year has rolled around when the annual story appears in all the papers in regard to the University getting the $20,000 claim through congress.
With Newbold to lead the track team and Hagerman to coach it the men should find no trouble in getting plenty of wind for the long distance runs.

PLAY NEBRASKA TOMORROW
Jayhawkers in good Shape for two Lincoln Games.
Tomorrow night the Jayhawkers will play the Cornhuskers at Lincoln Nebraska. The team will leave tonight. Seven men, manager Lansdon and Carl Rouse will make the trip. Coach Allen is unable to go on account of his work in Kansas City.
The lineup of the Jayhawkers will be changed against the Nebraskans in order to better handle Walsh, the speedy Cornhusker forward. Johnson will be switched to guard, McCune and Long will play the forwards and Bergen and Heizer will go in at center. "Phog" Allen says that Bell will not be able to hold a candle to either Long or McCune. Martindell will take the trip but probably will not play on account of his injured finger.
These games do not count toward the championship. All division championship games are played between the 3 and 22 of February.

A suffragist club was organized at the University of Kansas Tuesday afternoon with about thirty members. Miss Caroline Lexow of Barnard college, who is national secretary of the College equal sufferage league is responsible for the organization of the club. Miss Eugénie Galloo was the temporary chairman of the meeting. Miss Lexow told something of the history of the long struggle for womens' rights and how despite this fact they are oppressed and denied their legal rights in many of the states. To tell the simple truth the enthusiasm was not very uproarious and Miss Neuen Schwander who was sergeant at arms, had little trouble in keeping down boisterousness. The club is now looking for new members. It only meets twice a year when some suffragette of nationl fame will address the local suffragettes. The club will meet Febuary 9 to elect officers. The club has four men members up to date.

Cigarettes Don't Go.
Ho, ye long, lank, sallow faced, short winded, weak hearted, yellow fingered, pimple faced cigarette fiends listen to this. Throw away that coffin tack, brush the "smokin'" off your clothes, shove the yellow strings of that bag of "Duke's Mixture" down in your hip pocket, try to brush away that brain fog, grasp something solid with your nerveless fingers, straighten up your back and try to fix the apparatus in your think shop on the following facts:
Professor McKeeber of the Kansas Agricultural College selected fifty cigarette smokers and fifty nonsmokers and compared their averages for the term. The nonsmokers made an average of 80 per cent. against the 621-2 per cent. of the smokers. The smokers made 81 per cent. of the failures in studies.
Now ye devotees of the paper smokes, ye servants of the Lady Nicotine,ye candidates for the Foolish House what, if we may be allowed the phase, do you know about that?—Arkansas Weekly.

SOME HOPE YET
TRAINING TABLE MAY BE RETAINED AFTER ALL.
Kansas Must Revise Football Schedule—Some Schools to Be Dropped.
"There is still some hope for the retention of training tables" said Manager Lansdon yesterday in discussing the meeting of the Missouri Valley conference in Des Moines the first of the week. "Nebraska and Kansas are for the table and if they can get another school to stand with them they will succeed in keeping the clause permitting training tables."
Nebraska will try to induce Ames to vote for the table. Ames has a large athletic association and can afford to conduct training quarters. Unless the Iowa Aggie school can be induced to vote with Kansas and Nebraska the training table will probably be dropped.
They Got Wet.
The Physiology class visited the dairy barns at Haskell this afternoon. Coming back on a hay rack they were caught in one of the afternoon showers and drenched.
Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and Washington will probably be on the schedule for next year. That means that four schools outside of the conference will be on the schedule, and a fewer number than that if the table is abolished. The management will be forced to drop one or more of the schools that played the Jayhawkers this year. Oklahoma, K. S. A.C., Washburn, St. Marys and the Normals contested with Kansas last fall. It is assured that all of them will not oppose Kansas next year.
As a result of the limitation put upon the number of contests in football, basket ball and base ball Kansas must revise her schedule. Eight games in football are allowed and if the training table is abolished this spring the teams can stand no more than six or seven. The Jayhawkers will not play so many of the smaller state institutions in the future and the contests will be almost entirely with state universities or with conference teams.
Tripp Club Party.
The Tripp Club will give a series of parties during the spring. The first one will be given on the evening of Feb 6.
