TRACK TRY-OUT
PRELIMINARY IN GYMNASIUM LAST SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
Badger, Clark, Smith, and Reynolds, New Men, Showed Up Well.
Last Saturday afternoon Coach Hagerman held a preliminary tryout in Robinson gymnasium for track candidates. No new material developed from the tryout, still the coach is optimistic about the prospects for a good track team.
The events of the tryout were quarter-mile, half-mile high jump, and shot put. Badger, one of last year's freshmen team won the quarter, running it in sixty seconds. Ralph Perril was a close second for honors in this event.
The two-mile was won by Hal Clark, with Mattison Leslie second. Clark has not been able to get some advanced standing credits accepted and may not be eligible for the team. In the high jump two men, Jim Smith and Jim Reynolds, tied for first place at five feet six inches. Hamilton, a third high jumper, did not try out as Hagerman wants to use him in the low hurdles. Wood put the shot thirty-five feet seven inches. Meyers did not compete.
The remainder of the preliminary tryouts will be held soon. The above events are the ones in which the team is weak. No old K men are out for a place in any of them.
With the closing of the basketball season this week two K men will be added to the track squad. They are Martindell, broad jumper and high hurdler, and "Tommy" Johnson, high hurdler and polevaulter. Both of these men would be sure point winners if they had the proper time to train for their events.
Teeter President Democratic Club.
At a meeting of the Democratic club, Monday, J. Edward Teeter was elected vice-president to fill the unexpired term of Ben Jones who has left school.
Mrs. C. Garret of Bonner Springs is here this week attending her daughter, Mayme, who is sick at the Smith House.
CANOE CLUB ORGANIZED.
To Build a Two Room Club House at Cameron's Bluff.
Eight canoeists of the University met yesterday and formed a canoe club. After true maratime style they elected as presiding officer, with the title of commodore, John Power. Ridley Pearson was elected first mate, who in ordinary language would be secretary and treasurer. He keeps the "log." The chairman of the rowing committee of the Students' Athletic Association, Merle Groene, was given the honorary title of rear admiral.
Present at this meeting were George Russell, Ridley Pearson, Edward James, Merle Holmes, Dick Kemp, Merle Groene, Alex Loomis, and John Power. The membership was limited to canoe owners, subject to a vote of the club.
It is the purpose of this club to exploit water sports, make such provisions and accommodations as possible,mark channels, hold aquatic meets at regular intervals and build a club house and dock. It was proposed to build a substantial two room log cabin at Cameron's Bluffs for a club house; while at the foot of Tennessee street they are to erect a dock to accommodate fifteen canoes.
All persons who are interested in this movement are welcome at their next meeting at 12:15 in room 15 on Monday, March 8.
FRESHMEN LOST A GAME.
Defeated Wentworth Saturday Night—Lost to Westport.
In a game that was considered the roughest of the year, the freshman basket-ball team defeated the Wentworth Military Academy at Lexington, Mo., Saturday night, 25 to 24. The game was to have been played under inter-collegiate rules, but according to the freshmen, Marquis of Queensburg tactics were used to great advantage by the cadets. Larson was the chief point-maker with five goals. The freshman line-up: Van der Vries and Watson, forwards; Malleis, center; Larson and Long, guards. WESTPORT, 32; FRESHMEN, 30.
Friday night the Westport high school team of Kansas City, Mo., defeated the freshmen 32 to 30, on the former's court. This was the first defeat of the season for the first-year team.

INGRATITUDE THAT IS UNDESERVED.
The people of Manhattan, or some of them, are, it seems, raising a lot of talk about the cut the legislature has made in the budget amount asked for by the agricultural college for the next two years. One of the newspapers there complains that the farmer boys are being discriminated against in favor of the "pampered pets" down here at the University, and winds up a scurrilous diatribe against the University and the legislature in these words:
And then, what makes it more unfair is that when the college fails to do all the work it could and should do, somebody (and he is usually from the university), will say: "The Agricultural college is not doing the work it ought to do."
However that may be, it is safe to say that the Agricultural College is doing some work it ought not to do, to-wit: It is giving a high school education, at state expense, to all the pupils of the Manhattan schools who care to go beyond the eighth grade. The town of Manhattan maintains no high school and has never had one. When the pupils pass out of the grades they go to the Agricultural college prep department. As the prep department is organized only with a view to preparing for the higher work of the school of which it is a part, no attention is paid to languages. Consequently, there is no place in Manhattan where a student may gain regular college entrance standing.
Now if the people of Manhattan are really desirous, as they say they are, of furthering as much as possible the work of the great state school located there, they have a chance to prove it by maintaining a town high school and thus removing from the agricultural college a burden by no means light. For twenty years other towns in Kansas the size of Manhattan have been maintaining high schools costing from $5,000 to $15,000 a year. From this can be figured that state money sufficient to put up several fine buildings has been diverted from its proper purpose of furthering agricultural work to the use of the town of Manhattan. And it also furnishes a partial explanation of why "The Agricultural college is not doing the work it ought to do," if such is indeed the case.
Today a new management is taking hold of The Kansan and will direct it for a year to come. It keenly realizes the advantages as well as the disadvantages of its position. At most an editor is hated by about two-thirds of the people, respected by possibly one-third, and loved by none at all. He mistakes who would direct a newspaper, and direct it right, with the sole end of making friends. If one flatter and pamper a vain humanity he may gain unreal friends at the cost of self-respect; if one back an unjust cause or equivocate at a critical point he may gain a following but no friends; only by meeting issues in a firm, manly manner and by boldly indorsing the right and the just can an editor gain genuine friends. And however few the latter be they make up for myriads of the former.
A movement is now on foot at the University to form a Cosmopolitan or International Club. There are a dozen or more students from foreign countries in school now and they would make an excellent beginning.

A Cosmopolitan club has several good points. In the first place the foreign students in their meetings would become acquainted with the customs and life in all countries; their viewpoint would broaden correspondingly. Besides the club would induce other students from abroad to come to Kansas. One Bulgarian at the University has induced four of his countrymen to attend school in Lawrence in the past two years.
The new management of The Kansan has several plans to perfect in the course of the coming year. It shall be our aim to steadily improve the sheet over whose destiny we are sponsor. Before the present school year is ended we hope to enlarge the paper from four columns to five columns and before another year rolls around we expect to see firmly established at the University a good, five column daily publication. The steady growth of the school, and its prospects for the future well nigh insures the success of a daily.

Peculiarly Enjoyable Because of Absence of Spellbinder.
The newly-elected officers of the Kansan gave a dinner for the members of the board and a few newspaper guests at the Fairfax Saturday night. Each year the incoming officers plan some kind of entertainment for the board. When the word went round that it was to be a banquet this time a period of fasting and keen expectation followed. As this article has to pass the scrutiny of one of the officers before it goes into the paper it is impossible to say anything except that the banquet was all right in every respect. And that is probably the truth anyway, for complete justice was done to all six courses. One thing made this "feed"
One thing made this "feed" unique in the history of the University. There was no oratory from a single one of the officers, and none from the board members.

NEW CHEMISTRY TEXT.
Professor Cady Is Preparing One for his Classes.
Prof. H. P. Cady is writing a book on Inorganic Chemistry after the general plan of Ostwald's text and expects to have it ready for his classes by next fall. The chemistry department has been using Ostwald for some time, and while it is an admirable work, it is an English tranrlaion of a German writer and as such has its drawbacks to on American reader. In fact there is no book that fits precisely the demands of the department.

He got 1246 votes against 400 as received by S.D.Bishop, who was a candidate on the independent ticket. Practically everyone voted the Republican ticket as there were but 100 straight Democratic votes.
The vote by wards for Dr. Carruth was: First ward, 321; Second ward, 410; third ward, 290; fourth ward, 65; fifth ward, 92; Sixth ward, 68.
Professor Carruth has entered the race for the office of mayor of Lawrence after the solicitations of his friends and people interested in the joining more closely of the University and the town of Lawrence. For a long time men on the bill have been in one way or another connected with down town affairs but not enough to get the town thoroughly in sympathy with the University.
The Republican platform endorses the enforcement of the prohibitory law. Should Dr. Carruth be elected the old haunts of the East bottoms will take wings and fly.
Woman Suffrage Club.
A college branch of the woman suffrage movement has been organized in the University. The officers elected are: President, Jessie Baldridge; vicepresident, Helen Phillipps; secretary, Maybeth Parker; and treasurer, Florentine Hackbush. The board of directors is Miss Carrie Watson, Professor Carruth and Professor Olin.
Senior Play Tryout.
The first draft of the senior play is far enough advanced now to choose the characters. A tryout will be held Tuesday evening in room 15, Fraser Hall, at 7:15 for all seniors who desire parts.
MORE FACTS
CONCERNING CHEMISTRY FAILURE OF LAST TERM.
Thorough Investigation Made—34 Flunked Finals in Chemistry I-18 in Chemistry II.
The Kansan has made a complete investigation of the chemistry department records for Chemistry I and Chemistry II for last term. As stated in a previous article, there were enrolled in Chemistry I at the beginning of of the term, one hundred and forty. Of these, ninety-nine received a credit at the end of the term. In Chemistry II, there were enrolled at the beginning of the school year one hundred and seventy-nine, and at the end of the term ninety-three of these received a passing grade.
Some of those who did not receive credit, flunked the course outright, others withdrew, some were conditioned for deficiency in work, and still others had their grades withheld on account of unpaid bills or not having checked in their apparatus.
The enrollment in Chemistry I was: College, seventy-five; Pharmacy, fifty-five; and Engineering, ten. The failures were College, twelve: Pharmacy, twenty-two; Engineering, two Fourteen Pharmics flunked outright, and eight of them had to quit the work on account of lack of preparation. There were also five conditions, all pharmics.
There were one hundred and twenty-eight engineers and fifty-one college students enrolled in Chemistry II. Nineteen of these withdrew formally, and fifteen quit the course. Of the one hundred and forty-five left,eighteen flunked; thirteen of these engineers and five college men. There were thirty-four of the one hundred and forty-five conditioned; thirteen for deficiency in work and twenty-one for indebtedness to the Chemistry department. Most of the conditions can be removed.

BASEBALL
PRACTICE
LARGE SQUAD ON McCOOK FIELD EVERY DAY.
Team to be Chosen Next Week- Pitching Staff, Third Base, Shortstop in Doubt.
Coach Ebright is getting more and more optimistic about the final outcome of the baseball team this season. Twenty-five men are trying out and since last Saturday the squad has been divided into two teams and practice games are being played every afternoon. Next Saturday the coach will pick a man to play a nine composed chiefly of "inelligibles," after which he expects to pick the men who will open the season for Kansas. However, next week's decision will not be final as from fourteen to sixteen men will be kept in the squad until after the season is well under way. This is done so that a fair chance will be given to all those who are trying out and in case the men, who are picked at first, do not show up well in the regular games others in the squad can take their places. The first game of the season will be in Mauhattan on April 8 with K. S. A. C.
Ebright said this morning that the team was already practically picked with the exception of the pitching staff, a short-stop and a third base man. Walker will no doubt hold first, Gibbs will continue in his old place at second as will Rockefeller as cacher. Right field will be played by Captain Carlson, center field will probably go to Harley Wood and right field to either Lovett, Rogers or Riling.
The pitching staff now includes five men, Harlan, Lock, Burdick, Lobaugh and Heizer. Of these Harlan is assured of his position, and from the remaining four two will be chosen for the regular staff.
Third base and short-stop are the most disputed positions- Blacker, Harvey, Palmer, Huff, Fisher and Ogden are trying out and so far all are showing up in about the same form.
OLYMPIC GAMES
IN ROBINSON GYMNASIUM ON SATURDAY NIGHT.
According to advance reports the events of the Olympic games, to be held Saturday evening in Robinson Gymnasium, will be such that no man in the University can miss them without losing an interesting exhibition of athletic prowess. "Bill" Caldwell and "Big" Smith will put on the gloves and demonstrate their ability to box as well as to play football. Tim Shotts will be on the mat with an aggregation of tumblers guaranteed to equal anything outside of Ringling's circus. Pierson, Ghormley and Brown are the men who expect to be associated with him. Shotts will also do some spectacular work on the horizontal bar.
Everything in Way of Athletic Stunts to be Put On—Relay Race with Haskell.
A team from Haskell will contest with the University runners in a relay race. The Kansas four will be selected from among the following: Haddock, Newbold, Badger, Hamilton, Howard, Perrill, Fairchild and Baer. The small men led by "Shorty" Corwine will undertake to win a relay race from the big men of the University. Corwine will also show the multitudes the art of walking on his hands if he can find some one who will enter against him in such a race.
Two wrestling bouts will be on the program. The heavy weights at 175 pounds will be represented by Jolley and Powell. The bantam weight wrestlers, Humphrey and Allison, tip the scales at 110 pounds.
Roy Burdick has promised to repeat some of the fancy stunts which amused the men at the Pan-Hellenic "smoker" last Saturday night.
Ockerblad's illuminated club swinging will be one of the attractive features of the evening. It must be seen to be appreciated.

TO BEGIN FINAL SERIES TONIGHT
Nebraska Optimistic-Kansans Not in Usual Form-Special Train Friday Night.
Tonight in the Rainbow skating rink at Kansas City, Kansas, the Jayhawkers and the Cornhuskers tangle in the first contest in the final series to settle the Missouri valley conference basket ball championship. They will meet again tomorrow evening at the same place and should the honors be divided the final game will be played Saturday night.
From the Cornhusker camp comes the news that the Nebraskans are going to win the championship, may be two straight games. They have been working hard for two weeks and have had three coaches directing their work. They may spring the same surprise on on Kansas in basket ball that Kansas sprang on them last fall in football.
JAYHAWKERS AND CORN- HUSKERS CLASH IN K. C.
The Jayhawkers are not so optimistic. "Tommy" Johnson has been off color for some time; so has Martindell, the speedy guard. The season has been too long for the Kansas five. They were playing a month before any of the other conference teams.
"Phog" Allen was up from Kansas City yesterday afternoon. He was busily engaged for an hour drilling the Jayhawkers on shooting goals. Besides this he has been teaching them how to play a game which will break up the close guarding of the Cornhuskers. He thinks Kansas will win two straight games easily if Johnson and Martindell play their usual game.
Heizer will be played at center tonight, Johnson and McCune will hold down the forward positions, and Martindell and Captain Woodward will play the guards. Coach Allen expects to switch the men around when they show any signs of weakening. Long and Bergen are the two men he has to rey on.
There will be a special train returning from Kansas City at 11:30 Friday night.
HARRY KEMP TO LECTURE TONIGHT
Tonight in the city Y. M. C. A. auditorium Harry Kemp will give his lecture on his poems, that was postponed last week. This lecture is a new one and he will read several poems that have not before appeared before the public. The admission is twenty-five cents.

A NARROWMINDED LOCAL POLICY.
Last week Governor Marshall of Indiana in a special message to the legislature attacked a bill which had been passed by the house and which increased the state tax levy for the benefit of the University, the Agricultural school and the Normal School in Indiana. The view point of Governor Marshall is interesting as showing that there still exist in an age of broadmindedness and progress many persons, even high in art and politics, who are unique because of their singular narrow-mindedness and unprogressiveness. The chief executive of India has two reasons for cutting down the appropriations to state schools; first because the denominational institutions can take care of the students of college rank and second, because at her different schools the state of Indiana was educating nearly 1000 foreign students. As a matter of strict economy the denominational schools could educate college students at a money saving for the state, but the product turned out would be inferior and today any state is far behind the ideal of a twentieth century commonwealth that does not support a University. The last sentiment, that Indiana cannot spend state money to educate outside students is vicious and a policy so local and narrow as not to be tolerated in a respectable state. Indiana is fortunate in having a great engineering school at Purdue where students from all over the middle west go. At the same time if any Indiana young man wishes to get a real education in the arts or law he goes to Michigan, to Ohio or to Illinois. How much money are those three states spending to educate Indiana young people? The attitude of Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota is the broad, national one on this point. A state school should be for all students in all states so that a person who wishes to specialize in any branch of knowledge may specialize at the best school, at the lowest price.
When the legislature passed a law making the owners of property subject to imprisonment for allowing minors to smoke in or on their premises we wond r if they intended to make the Chancellor serve time for all the infractions of the rule that are found around the University. If that is the intention a liberal appropriation should be made to employ assistants to help serve time in the county jail.
Today William Howard Taft was inaugurated president of the United States. He is another of the steadily increasing host of college men who by their practical ability and their hard common-sense are discrediting the time worn statements that college men are impediments in the big world of men and action.
The inauguration of a president will never appeal to the serious nature of college students, however, until the day is declared a national holiday and all schools are closed.

A Modern Fairy Tale.
A red carnation, a quarter, and the mistake of a page was the starting point for a romance which ended last Friday when Harry Hart was wedded to Miss Effie Stein of Atchison. Mr. Hart, a former K. U. student, was in Topeka covering the doings of the legislature for the Leavenworth Times. Miss Stein had a clerkship in one of the committees of the Senate. One day she called a page and sent a carnation to the Times Reporter. She gave the page a quarter for his trouble. The page kept the carnation and gave the money to Mr. Hart. Explanations followed with an introduction and then a marriage.
Harry Hart was a student here for five years. He was manager of the senior play in his last year and played on the football team for two years.
La Verne Palmer spoke yesterday afternoon at the regular weekly meeting of the Chemical Club. His subject was "The Solution Theory of Carbon and Steel." The theory, which is complicated was discussed at length.

MICHIGAN PROF. IN CHAPEL.
H. A. Sanders told of big Western Schools.
Professor H. A. Sanders, of the University of Michigan, made a short talk in chapel Wednesday morning in which he mentioned some of the marked differences between the University of Kansas and the school which he represents. They have no daily chapel exercises at Michigan. This condition is not caused by opposition of faculty or regents but because the growth of the University was so rapid that it had no auditorium sufficiently large to seat all the students. Hence the authorities could no longer require attendance upon the daily exercises, and the students refrained from coming when the compulsion was removed.
Professor Sanders explained the invisible dividing line between the social intercourse of the boys and girls of the University of Michigan in their recitation and campus associations by saying that the school was formerly a distinctly men's college. Though the results are satisfactory as to scholarship, the segregation weakens the social life and the attendance of girls has made no increase for several years.

EXHIBIT CLOSES SATURDAY.
Greatest Collection West of Chicago - Attendance Low.
The art exhibit will be closed on Saturday. The opportunity of seeing the masterpieces of some of the greatest American painters will soon be past. It is said that there is no better collection of paintings in the Chicago Art Institute than is shown here. And as Prof. W. A. Griffith says, "A liberal education is not complete unless the student is acquainted with some of the greatest painters and their works."
In this exhibit, there are paintings of all kinds. For those who love the sea, there is the "Ancient Mariner" and "The Coast near St. Ives." In others, one can see wharves, boats, and waves dashed to spray on the rocks. There are pictures of sunlight, sunset, moonlight, rain, snow, mists and storms. There are paintings of trees and flowers, hills, rivers and mountains.
Many phases of child life are depicted as in "Unrepentant" and "Nancy" as well as "On a Log in the River." There are numerous portrait paintings in the exhibit such as "The Dutchman," "A Green Gown," "The Girl in Black" and many others.
Then there are the pictures that tell a story such as "The Broken Contract," "The Intermezzo," and "The Haymarket." Notwithstanding all this variety of art the attendance is low, so low that it is hardly worth while to keep the exhibit open.
PROF. SANDERS LECTURED.
Told of Greek Manuscripts of Bible Owned by Chas. Freer.
Professor Harry A. Sanders of the University of Michigan delivered an illustrated lecture Wednesday afternoon in the chapel on the four Greek manuscripts of the Bible which were bought by Charles Freer of Detroit in a suburb of Cairo, Egypt in 1907. Mr. Freer did not recognize the value of his purchase and for several months kept the manuscripts in a Detroit vault before even submitting them to Professor Sanders who is professor of Greek at Michigan. At the annual meeting of the Archeological Society in Chicago on January 1, 1908, Prof. Sanders aroused much interest by his report of the importance of the manuscripts to students of the Bible. Since that time he has given considerable study to them.

A Busy Gallery of Art.
C. F. Squires, or "Con" as the boys call him has made the pictures for the senior laws for the last seven years and each class has given him a recommendation to the oncoming class. This is a record the like of which no other Lawrence photographer has ever been able to boast.
Mr. Squires took time yesterday to show a visitor about his art gallery. This is a busy season of the year for Squires as he is doing a large part of the work for the Annual. Nine photographers, the best artists obtainable are busy turning out pictures of students and organizations of the University. Two more artists will shortly be added making eleven in all. But when one calculates that Mr. Squires has already made photographs for 180 seniors and has about 70 yet to come it is well understood why it takes such a large squad of men to handle the work.
In addition to this work Mr. Squires is making all the pictures for the Baker Annual, and he is obliged to care for his large trade in Lawrence and a large trade that comes to him from old K. U. students, who come back to Lawrence to have pictures taken.
"Con" Squires has worked in many of the leading studios of the United States, and has taken the grand prize in Kansas and prizes in many exhibitions where the world competed. Last year he was president of the State Photographer's Association. Before coming to Lawrence Mr. Squires had photographed every infantry and calvary army officer in Uncle Sam's army, and it was in the making of these army pictures that he received his great experience in grouping.
experienced Mr. Squires is one of those business men who is not looking for the dollar that today will bring. He looks to the future and realizes that a business like his with an established reputation is worth more than a few dollars made at the sacrifice of the best work. Mrs. Squires, who is a finished photographer, with the aid of two able assistants inspects every picture before it leaves the studio.
"Financial success depends as much on the advertising that good work gives as on the money that one gets directly," says Squires, and if one goes through the studio and sees the patronage he has built up one will believe that he is right.

C. W. White, instrument maker for the University, recently completed one of the most delicate and original pieces of work that he has yet attempted. When Dr. Sutton, a former University graduate but now a prominent New York physician, was here last fall he left the specifications with Mr. White for the making of two siphons to be used by surgeons while operating on patients. By means of this apparatus a continuous flow of water can be taken to and from the body cavity, thus insuring an efficient and hygienic operation.
TENNIS SQUAD ELECTS.
Watson Captain, Bigelow Manager—A Six Match Series.
The University tennis squad held an election of officers yesterday. J.R.Watson was made captain and Howard Bigelow manager of the team for the coming season.
It is the plan of these two men to turn out a better team this year than ever before and to increase the number of games in the schedule.
Practice matches are being played regularly in the gymnasium but with the coming of spring the work will be done on outdoor courts.
This year's schedule will probably include Nebraska, Missouri, K. S. A. C., K. S. N. Fairmount, and Washburn.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME V.
NEW REGENTS APPOINTED
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 6, 1909
T. M. POTTER AND A. C. MITCHELL RETIRE.
W. A. White Reappointed—C. F Foley, of Lyons, and L. S. Cambern, of Erie, New Members.
Governor Stubbs this week reappointed William Allen White of Emporia as regent of the University, and in place of Hon. T. M. Potter of Peabody and Hon. A. G. Mitchell of Lawrence, the other retiring members of the Board, he appointed C. F. Foley of Lyons and L. S. Cambern of Erie. Mr. Mitchell would doubtless have been reappointed except for a new policy of the governor not to appoint any one to the governing board of a state educational institution from the town in which the school is located.
C. F. Foley is a graduate of the class of '84 in the School of Law.
L. S. Cambern is a banker at Erie. His son, Fred J. Cambern, is a senior in the College.
The governor has also appointed Sheffield Ingalls, '95, to be a regent of the State Agricultural College, and Professor Olin Templin of the University to be a member of the State Text-book Commission.
Music at Vespers Sunday
The program of the vesper service Sunday, which is to be entirely musical, is an especially interesting one. The special numbers will be selections from Gounod's "Mass to St. Cecilia," including the "Credo," the "Sanctus," the "Beredictus," and the "Agnes Dei;" and Gounod's "Ave Maria," with a trio of piano, organ and violin. Professor Preyer will be at the piano, Miss Cook at the organ, and Miss Dunn, of Ottawa, will play on the violin. The special soloists will be Miss Nita Abraham, of Kansas City, and Miss Agnes Husband, of the school of music. There will also be a special chorus for the occasion.
The appropriation bill for the University for the next two years passed the lower house of the legislature at 5 o'clock this afternoon.
APPROPRIATION BILL HAS PASSED
The bill as passed was the senate bill which the upper house adopted last week.
HIS POEMS INTERESTING.
Harry KempTalked at Y. M. C.A. to a Large Audience.
Thursday evening Harry Kemp delivered another one of his lectures on his poems and their history at the City Y. M. C.A. for the benefit of that organization. About two hundred and fifty of his admirers were present.
Kemp handled his audience well keeping every one in good spirits until he had finished his readings. In the discussions of his tramp poems he used an excess of bowery language which pleased his listeners. The twenty-six poems which he read cover a wide range of thought. Some were of puppy love, some of tramp life, some of a scientific nature and some of a deep philosophical study.
The only love poem which Kemp read and acknowledged that he was really in love when he wrote it, was one he calls "My Little Maid in Lavender." The poem was a beautiful one and received a good demonstration from the audience.
Kemp began his lecture career last fall and is making good.
OLYMPIC GAMES THIS EVENING
NUMBER 61
In addition to the other attractions previously announced for the Olympic games to be held in Robinson Gymnasium at 7:30 this evening will be a relay race between representatives of the Beta and Phi Delt fraternities. The official announcement indicates that pajamas and night shirts will be the prevailing costumes used by the contesting teams.
Each year the Olympic games are becoming more prominent in University affairs. At this time the Y.M.C.A.Increases its membership and also makes its position with regard to the student body clear.
Funeral of Mrs. Moodie.
The funeral of Mrs. W. L. Moodie was held this afternoon at 2:30. Mrs. Moodie has been an invalid for a good many years.
Mrs. Moodie was the mother of Miss Minnie Moodie, private secretary to the Chancellor, and William Moodie '07 and Roy Moodie '05, who is now an instructor in Zoology.
Miss Elizabeth Van Vleit went with MissLillianDreiblebis to spend Sunday, at the latter's home in Sabetha.
JAYHAWKERS CHAMPIONS
WON TWO STRAIGHT FROM CORNHUSKERS.
Scores Were 28 to 22 and 24 to 15 at Kansas City.—Last Game Tonight.
Last night in Rainbow skating rink of Kansas City, Kansas, the Jayhawker basketball team won the Missouri Valley Conference championship by making it two straight victories from the Cornhuskers. The final score was 24 to 15. To spur the Kansans on to victory there was a crowd of one hundred loyal students and some four hundred Kansas City fans.
In the first part of the game the Nebraskans had a little the best of the argument, the half closing with the score of 8 to 7 in favor of the Cornhuskers. They came back strong in the first part of the second half and had a lead of five points before the Jayhawkers awakened. Johnson the speedy Kansas forward finally broke the spell and the Kansans started in to win the game. The feature of the game was the fast playing of Johnson who did some spectacular work dribbling the ball across the court and then shooting the ball into the basket.
Long was substituted for McCune late in the game. He succeeded in throwing a field goal. For Nebraska Walsh and Bell did good work. The whole Kansas team was in the game after the first awakening.
Tonight the teams will play in Rainbow rink again. The purpose of the game is to raise money for the depleted athletic treasuries of the two schools. Should Kansas win tonight it will make six straight from the Cornhuskers.

NEW BOOKS FOR LIBRARY.
Facsimile of Milton's Manuscripts—Full Edition of Kipling.
Among the new books received at the library, one of importance and value is a facsimile of the manuscript of Milton's Minor Poems as preserved in the library of Trinity College, Cambridge. The original, a thin folio of thirty leaves in Milton's own hand, is mangled but regarded as the chief treasure of the Trinity College library, and is well reproduced in this new volume. The history of the original folio is not clear. It had belonged to Sir Henry Newton Puckering and was given to Trinity College about 1691.
The chief value of the book lies in the fact that the workings of Milton's mind, his second thoughts, as he interlined, struck out words, and changed the phrasing of Lycidas, Comus, and other poems can be seen.
Another folio from the British Museum containing the "Autographs and Documents relating to Milton" is interesting. It has the different signatures of John Milton, a page from John Milton's Bible, and a reprint of the "sale of the copyright of Paradise Lost."
The library has also acquired a complete uniform edition of Rudyard Kipling, comprising twenty-two volumes in red cloth and gilt top binding.
ART EXHIBIT HAS BEEN CLOSED
This is the last day of the art exhibit. The collection will be broken up after it leaves here, and most of the pictures will be sent back to their respective studios. A few of the pictures will remain in Lawrence. J.A.Henley has purchased Birge Harrison's "Bryant Park at Evening, New York," which has been a favorite with visitors at the exhibit.
The attendance up to and including March 5 has been 3,525. Yesterday was the best day so far. Thursday and Friday 511 school children patronized the exhibit.
Although there have been good crowds each day, the exhibit will come to a close with a small deficit against it. Exceptionally large crowds this afternoon and evening might enable the management to pay out.

SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1909
FOR A STUDENTS' DAY.
Every spring since time out of mind a group of students, a few members of the faculty and The Kansan have regularly agitated a Students' day. The matter has already been discussed this year. Professor Carruth and other members of the faculty have favored the plan, and several from the student body have become interested in the scheme. If the students want a day set aside to themselves they can get it. The plan advocated is to have a long chapel given up to speakers from the student body. Representatives from the college, the school of Engineering, the school of Law and from the school of Medicine in Rosedale would deliver addresses on whatever theme they wished to discuss. These speakers would be chosen by ballot by the different schools interested. Some years ago a students' day was tried and it proved a great success.
Two championships decided in Missouri Valley athletics and two diamond studded belts for Kansas teams, is the record thus far this season. And the year is only a little more than half over. The propensity of the Jayhawkers to gobble up nearly every thing that is not nailed down on the athletic map is paralleled only by Chicago University. The big city school has a mania to annex at least a half of the championships floating around in the Chicago conference. For that reason Chicago is the one big thing in the Lake Michigan region. It begins to look to casual observers as if Kansas was preparing to be the Chicago of the Big Seven. The University might as well compose itself right now and with becoming dignity wear the honors appertaining to so enviable a position. The sterling athletes of Captain Crowell and Captain Woodward have finished. In another month Captain "Swede" Carlson and his swatters will be turned loose upon the unsuspecting Valley baseball teams. Before spring mellows into summer the Conference penant is likely to unfurl itself to
the Kansas breeze on the McCook ball lot.
Governor Stubbs has made a new and good rule respecting the governing boards of state schools. He has not appointed any person to membership on the board of regents of any school who lives in the town in which the institution is located. A regent from Manhattan or Lawrence or Emporia is quite likely to be prejudiced toward the school in his home town. The new rule caused A. C. Mitchell, one of the staunchest and ablest defenders of the University, to be dropped. It also caused a particularly aggressive and forward regent of the State Agricultural School to retire.
Spoke on the Specialist.
Rev. O.C. Brown, pastor of the Lawrence Baptist church, spoke in chapel Friday morning on the specialist and the work which he accomplishes. He believes that school work includes both drudgery and a pleasant experience. The pleasure comes in the advance work, in the harder and more technical courses when the student is an investigator and an explorer to a certain extent. The specialist not only gratifies natural inclinations but opens for himself a larger place of usefulness. Mr. Brown mentioned Chancellor Snow, Elias Howe and others who had been useful to mankind by specializing along certain lines.

NEW APPARATUS
FOR STATE DEPARTMENT OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
Professor Stimpsom Has Gone to Washington D. C. to Place the Order.
Professor E. F. Stimpson left for Washington, D.C.Friday to arrange for securing the apparatus necessary for properly equiping the state's department of weights and measures. By virtue of his office Chancellor Strong is at the head of this department but the practical workings have been in the charge of Prof. Stimpson who within the last few months has had several conferences with grocers in regard to the accuracy of weights and measures used by them.
Kansas now lacks a complete set of instruments as the outfit sent from Washington several years ago was stored in the basement of the Capitol building at Topeka. Little attention was given to them at that time and several instruments have been lost. To enforce the new law new weights and measures are now needed. After securing the order at Washington for the necessary instruments Prof. Stimpson will go to Albany where they are manufactured.
Before returning to Lawrence Prof. Stimpson will visit a sister in New York City.

Thursday night the Jayhawkers won from the Cornhuskers by a score of 28 to 22. Neither team was up to the form they showed earlier in the season. From the time the referee blew his whistle for the game to start there was no doubt as to the outcome.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME V.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 9, 1909
NUMBER 62
VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS
NO DISSENTING VOICE ON UNI-
VERSITY APPROPRIATION.
Two New Buildings and Increased Maintenance Provided for To Raise Salaries.
The lower house of the legislature showed itself distinctly friendly to the University when the appropriation measure came up to a vote last Saturday evening. The senate bill passed by a unanimous vote, although every other appropriation measure this term has developed opposition.
The bill appropriates $982,159. Under its provisions the University will receive $347,993 for maintenance in 1910 and $368,-978 in 1911. For the first wing of the new administration building $50,000 will be available in 1910 and $75,000 in 1911. The sums of $50,000 for the new state hospital at Rosedale and of $10,000 for equipping the electrical engineering building will be available in 1911. For repairs and improvements of buildings and grounds, $40,144 will be expended each year of the biennium.
A part of the increased maintenance fund will be used in raising the salaries of faculty members. This increase, together with the action of the legislature in making University professors eligible to participate in the Carnegie pension fund, will put the University on a par with its neighbors in attracting the best instructional talent.
WANT AN ANNUAL?
Then Better See The Manager at Once.
The manager of the annual must put in his orders by March 20, and on that date he must know how many copies can be sold. No more books will be ordered than are sure of being sold.
The Jayhawker this year will be in two editions; a souvenir, leather one for $2.50, and a cloth one for $2. Students desiring one or the other should leave their name and choice with the manager or any member of the annual board before March 20.
Notice to Freshmen.
All candidates for the Freshman track team will meet in the gym. at 4:30 Thursday afternoon.
FINISHED WITH A GREAT RECORD
The record of the Jayhawker basketball team is an enviable one. Of the twenty-eight games played three were lost; one to Washington, one to Missouri, and one to Nebraska after the championship series had been concluded.
For the greater part of the season, there were but seven men in the squad. All of them were first team caliber and of about equal ability. They were: Captain Woodward, Martindell, Johnson, Long, McCune, Bergen and Heizer.

Lectured on Palestine.
Prof. Lewis B. Paton of the Hartford Theological Seminary gave an illustrated lecture Monday afternoon on "Palestine in the Light of the Latest Archeological Researches." Through the excavations carried on by different nations within recent years the knowledge of the ancient cities of Palestine as presented in the Old Testament has been greatly supplemented. Excavations in Egypt and old Babylonia also have direct bearing on the history of Palestine because its people were at times subject to the more powerful nations. Thus the inscriptions on the Babylonian pottery of which Prof. Paton exhibited pictures were important in relation to the character of the presemitic race that lived in Palestine. The clay tablets found in Tel el Marna, Egypt have also materially contributed to the archeologist's knowledge of Palestine.
WHY NOT DO IT THIS YEAR?
MOVEMENT FOR A STUDENT'S DAY STARTED.
Professors Carruth and Boynton Think the Plan a Good One Students Get Busy.
What is a students' day? It is a day on which a long chapel is given to representative members of the student body who shall speak on some phase of University life. There have been at least two of these occasions at the University—the last one being held four years ago. They grew out of the abolition of the May day "scrap."
Shall there be a student's day this spring?
Vice-Chancellor Carruth says, "It is a good plan and I am in favor of it. Some opportunity should be given the students to express their views as to University affairs. The date for the exercises might be on May day and the time after chapel might be given as a holiday."
Professor A. J. Boynton, in speaking of the student's day, said, "I am most enthusiastic about it. It would be good for the students and for the University. A high standard should be set for the speakers. Natural leaders should be brought out—men who would truly represent their schools. A speaker ought to be selected for his general ability, his popularity, and his leadership. Thus in a short time the position of a student day speaker would be a coveted one."
A Communication.
Every voter in the University who has the interests of the country at heart should immediately communicate with his representative in Washington and express his opinions in regard to the re-election of Speaker Cannon and the changing of the rules in the House. As Alfred Henry Lewis has said, "There isn't one of our statesmen but will pay more attention to a letter than to the voices of many men." So get busy men and let your own representative and perhaps all eight Kansas representatives know how you stand. It is important that you act immediately as the question will come up March 15th. The writer has addressed a letter to each Kansas representative asking that Speaker Cannon be deposed and that the rules of the House be modified. The representatives are: D. D. Anthony, jr., Leavenworth; C. F. Scott, Iola; P. P. Campbell, Pittsburg; James M. Miller, Council Grove; W. A. Calderhead, Marysville; Wm. A. Reeder, Logan; Edmund H. Madison, Dodge City; Victor Murdock, Wichita.
A UNIVERSITY INSTRUCTOR.
FIRST TRACK MEET HERE FRIDAY NIGHT
Friday night of this week the Jayhawker track team will meet the Baker team in Robinson Gymnasium. It is early in the season and neither team is at its best. The meet promises to be an exciting one since it is the first one between these two schools for several years.
The last preliminary tryout was held at Robinson Gymnasium Saturday afternoon. The results were satisfactory and things look good for a walk away with the Methodists.
Thompson broke his former tryout record in the two mile by making it in eleven minutes twenty-four seconds. Park took second place. The quarter mile was won by Perril in fifty seven seconds. In the high jump Smith and Reynolds made five feet six, and Wood put the shot thirty-six feet three inches.
The Baker team has been holding its final tryouts during the past week but the results do not compare with those of Kansas. With the dope in favor of Kansas and the meet to be held here, Coach Hagerman is confident of coming out with a victorious team.
Debating Teams Chosen.
The faculty committee consisting of Professors, A. J. Boynton, W. H. Carruth and C. H. Gray, has decided who shall represent Kansas in the debates with Missouri and Colorado. M.O. Locke and L.E. Overman will go to Columbia. P.C. Carson, J.W.Harbeson and Ralph Hemenway will debate in Lawrence with the team from Colorado.
Band Concert Tomorrow Night.
Tomorrow night in Robinson gymnasium the University band will give its annual concert under the direction of John C. McCanless. The band has been faithful in its attendance at athletic contests this year and deserves the support of the student body.
Thespian Rehersal.
The Thespians began rehearsals for their spring play, "As You Like It,' Saturday evening under the direction of Miss Georgia Brown of Kansas City. Keith Clevenger resigned as manager of the Club and Thomas A. Lee was chosen to take his place.

AVICTORY TEMPORARILY WON
Every person interested in the University has cause to rejoice that so liberal an appropriation was given to this school by the legislature. The fight has been a long and a hot one and the result was many times in doubt. Contrary to the prevalent belief, however, the friends of the University were not contesting for a large appropriation in order that the institution might continue to increase in size and influence. The fundamental question was whether the University should continue to head education in this state, whether it should continue as a University or whether, being deprived of many of the functions of a University, it should wither and die under the overshadowing greatness of a usurper. The issue was, should Kansas grow until it become a Michigan, a Wisconsin or an Illinois, or should it degenerate into an Indiana overshadowed by a Purdue or into an Iowa overshadowed by an Ames. The question has been at least temporarily decided. To disinterested persons on the outside of the state it at one time appeared as though Kansas would offer the paradox of a University outstripped by a branch of the University. The general trend was, for a time, in that direction. The legislators of Kansas have been too materialistic many times in former years. They would readily appropriate funds to care for the insane, the epileptics, the feeble minded and the criminals. But they were slow in accepting the cheaper way and by educating doctors, teachers and social workers check maladies and crimes. Too many persons have an antiquated idea that education has no utility unless it enables a man to add to the richness of the land, to improve the art of commerce, or to make an addition to the intrinsic wealth of the world. Education should be and is utilitarian, but that does not mean that the almighty dollar should ever be in mind. The benefit and uplift of society in all its phases is the most vital question of the
age. The people of Kansas are beginning to realize the importance of the question. The more Kansas people become interested in society as a whole the more liberal will be their support of their University.
A few years ago the presidency of a state university was considered a mediocre position. Today when a vacancy occurs in a university of standing the most influential and well known men in the whole country are mentioned for the place. William J. Bryan has been thought of for the chancellorship of Nebraska, Senator Beveridge for the presidency of Michigan, and representative McCall has been elected head of Dartmouth. The recent retirement of President Angell of Michigan shows just how hard it is to find suitable heads for state schools. For three years the board of regents of Michigan has been hunting a successor to Doctor Angell, today they are apparently no nearer a conclusion than on the day they began their quest. President Angell has loomed up as the greatest of University presidents because he was the pioneer in state University building. It was he who first persuaded a state legislature that a state institution could become as great as the large endowed schools of the east. The practical and the
cultural was the two-fold aim of Michigan under Doctor Angell. Today nearly every university in the United States is following in the wide trail blazed by the eminent Michigan educator. It must be a difficult task to replace the foremost man in the foremost University in America.

SCHOOL CHILDREN SAW PICTURES
Yesterday and the day before were children's days at the art exhibit. Many of the down town people sent their youngsters up to see the pictures on exhibition in the Museum. In the two days over five hundred little ones enjoyed looking at the masterpieces of some of the great artists of today.
Could some of the artists who were represented at the exhibit hear the remarks made by some of the visiting children they might not feel flattered in the least.
One little colored fellow about as tall as a sack of flour, and as thick too, stood in wrap admiration before a picture with a massive gilt frame. When asked which one he liked best he said, "Dis one here 'cause it's got the purtiest rim around it."
Two wee small boys were earnestly discussing the cause for some of the pictures being rough and others being smooth. Finally one of them came to the conclusion that the canvas used was of an inferior quality.
"Oh, that aint the reason," said the other one assuredly, "it's 'cause so many people have put their fingers on some of them and rubbed spots off."
One little fellow was asked why some of the children don't enjoy pictures and he replied, "Oh, because they don't understand them. I paint myself so I like them."
Needless to say a crowd of children stood before the picture with the little boy who is on the log in the river. The little girls showed much interest in the unrepentant girl who is pouting.
"Let's go see the stuffed animals, kids they're lots more fun than these old pictures," this was the signal and a crowd of boys were off for the basement of the Museum.

OLYMPIC GAMES WERE A SUCCESS
The Olympic games were held in the gymnasium Saturday night, under the auspices of the Y.M.C.A. As usual a large crowd was in attendance and the "stunts" put on were enjoyed by all,
The Kansas relay team began the season by defeating the Haskell runners in a mile race which was part of the program.
The night shirt—pajama race between the Betas and Phi Delts was won by the latter. One of the most amusing features of the program was the wrestling match between Allison who weighs 110 pounds, and "Big" Smith of twice his weight. Although a burlesque affair, it gave a good exhibition of the boys' real ability. "Red" Burt and "Bill" Caldwell as the respective physical trainers added interest to the event.
Tim Shotts, Pierson and Ghromley furnished entertainment with a good exhibition of tumbling. Shotts also gave a fresh demonstration of his ability at horizontal bar gymnastics.
Roy Burdick gave a series of poses to illustrate his remarkable proficiency in bodily contortions.
Ockerblad made a pleasing contribution to the evening's program with illuminated club swinging. In his hands Indian clubs perform some wonderful movements.
Caldwell and Smith presented
a vigorous boxing contest as the closing stunt.
During the evening, George O. Foster and R. L. Douglas told of the work and needs of the Y. M. C. A., after which the boys were given an opportunity to pledge financial aid to carry on the association's activities. Secretary J. P. Hagerman spoke in regard to the future prospects of the Y. M. C. A.
Causes for Gray Hair.
In an entertaining speech in chapel Tuesday morning Prof. L.E.Sayre, dean of the Pharmacy School, read clippings from his office correspondence to give his explanation of why some of the young men of the faculty have gray hair. He read a protest, against the chemist in his department, which had been registered by some manufacturer of white lead paint who believed his product had been maligned. Another correspondent was grieved at the University's report of adulteration in his spices. Some man considered Prof. Sayre's department competent to determine the gold value of Trego County shale. On the whole Prof. Sayre considers that a professor needs a pass key to all kinds of knowledge if he is to avoid gray hair and answer all the questions which may be sent to his department.

AN INDOOR TRACK MEET
JAYHAWKERS AND PREACHERS CLASH TOMORROW.
The First Meet To Be Held in Robinson Gymnasium.—Kansans in Poor Condition.
Tomorrow night in Robinson gymnasium the Jayhawker track team will compete against the Baker team. This will be the first inter-collegiate indoor meet ever held at the University. The outcome is uncertain as nothing is known about the strength of the Preachers and the Kansans are in poor shape.
Several men who have been playing basketball all winter will be entered tomorrow night. Johnson will do the high hurdles and pole vault. Bergen will run the half-mile and may run in the relay, as also may Martindell. These men have had no training and are in poor physical condition.
In three events of the eleven men who have never competed for Kansas before are entered: they are the mile, two mile and shot put. Coach Hagerman is optimistic about the outcome of these for he says the new men are good ones.
The order of events tomorrow night is the same as it will be in the Kansas-Missouri meet at Convention Hall. They are so arranged that the men competing in two events will not be hurried from one to another.
The events and the Kansas entries are:
35-yard dash—Haddock, Newbold.
One mile run—Clark, Badger.
40-yard high hurdles—Johnson,
Hamilton.
Quarter mile—Fair childs Haddock.
40-yard low hurdles-Newbold, Hamilton.
Two mile run—Thompson, Leslie.
Relay race—Haddock, Newbold, Bergen, Badger, Fairchilds and Martindell.
High jump—Reynolds, Smith.
Pole vault—Johnson, Wenger.
Shot put—Stephenson, Wood.

The selection of the cast has not yet been completed but reading rehearsals are being held by those who have been chosen. The club has arranged for special scenery and costumes and the plan now is to give two performances, matinee and evening of April second.
NEW REGENTS UNABLE TO COME
There was not a full attendance at the regents' meeting Tuesday, owing to the fact that the legislature had not yet adjourned and some of the members were detained at Topeka. Only Regents Gleed and Hopkins were present. The new regents have not yet formally accepted their positions.
A large contract was closed with the J. Q. McAfee Manufacturing Co. of Garnet, Kansas to furnish glass cases for the Dyche collection in the natural history museum.
BASKET BALL TOURNAMENT
INTER-SCHOLASTIC SERIES IN GYM NEXT WEEK.
Fourteen Teams Entered—Girls Series Too—Two Loving Cups The Prizes.

Fourteen teams have already sent in the required entrance fee and it is expected that this number will reach twenty. Three girls teams will also play a series. The Kansas University athletic Association will give two loving cups for these championships. The Halstead team is the present holder of the trophy.
The games will be played on the afternoon and evening of the two days. The winners of the first day will fight it out for the cup, while the losers will clash for the "consolation championship." The basket balls used by the winners will be presented to the teams as souvenirs.
Admission will be charged for the tournament. Of this money, eighty per cent will be evenly divided among the competing teams to reimburse them for their trip expenses. The following teams are now registered: boys teams, Kansas City, Kansas, Leavenworth; Topeka, Osage City, Halstead, Reno County, Dixon Township, Iola, Parsons, Chanute, Sabetha, Glasco, Kingman County, Dickerson County; girls teams, Reno County, Beloit, Chanute.
CANOE CLUB HELD MEETING
The organization of the canoe club was perfected at the beginning of this week when the members adopted a constitution and by-laws. The design of an ensign was discussed but referred to a committee for future consideration. The club has acquired the complete use of the docks at the foot of Tennessee street with all improvements and water rights reserved. This is their first steps to-wards the many improvements they hope to make this spring. A report on a Club House was referred back to the Committee to be brought up at a later meeting. To the original roll of charter members have been added the names of Logan Abernathy, Chas. Gossard, Ed Kinney and Fred Mervine. Weekly meetings are to be held in Room 15 at 12:15 every Monday.
CONCERT GOOD
BAND
GAVE ITS ANNUAL LAST NIGHT.
Several Burlesques in the Program Which Pleased Audience Thirty-three in Band.
Before a fair sized audience assembled last night in Robinson Gymnasium the University band gave its spring concert under the able leadership of J. C. McCanles. The program opened with Kelly's "Kansas" the rendition of which was varied by the boys' singing of the words in addition to the instrumental work. The human voice was also effectively used to assist in the presentation of the descriptive selection, "A Hunting Scene." As an encore to this number the band played "Nocturno."
The overtures, "Light Cavalry" and "William Tell," were well received. "Boola" was given as an encore to the first one.
Director McCanles gave one cornet solo with the band accompaniment. It was entitled "Young America" and consisted of several patriotic airs. As an encore the band played "Hearts and Flowers."
C. Robinson gave a pleasing flute solo entitled "Spring Song." Following this number "Cupid's Charms" was presented as an extra.
"The Glow-Worm" and "Golden Sunset Waltzes" were well played selections.
The program ended with a humoresque on "Merry Widow Waltz" which contained burlesques on various musical performances. The reproduction of the work of an amateur trombonist was entitled to rank as the most agonizing.
At present the band consists of thirty-three players including Prof. J.C.McCanles.

CONTROLOFCOLLEGIATE ACTIVITY
Most of the students in the University want a students day; most of the members of the faculty are willing that there should be a students day. Apparently there are no opponents to the new scheme. But despite the general unanimity of opinion the students day is probably about as far in the hazy future as it ever was. The governing system at the University is woefully incomplete because there is no institution or body to register the wishes of the student body and the faculty members and give their desires a quick execution. With a council of students and faculty to oversee undergraduate affairs the students day would have become a permanent feature long ago. With a council the nefarious system of class politics that is calculated to train University young men gum shoe methods and make ward bosses out of them would long ago have been abolished. The faculty, or some institution about or within it that few students know the nature of, is supposed to make rules for the student body. Yet the faculty, in a day of reform and purity in politics, has allowed an antiquated election system to persist; a system which generally chooses about the worst possible men for class offices and allows a dozen members of one class to sneak out in the woods and elect their officers, permits a group in another class to hold the election unannounced, and in fact forbids not methods in politics that would make "Bathhouse John" and "Hinky Dink" sit up in wonder and amazement. It seems to us that the next work of the Chancellor should be to establish a council of students under some kind of faculty control. In that way alone can many needed reforms be instituted, and what is more vital and to the point, only by giving the students a larger voice in school affairs can the well nigh dead school and class spirit be revived.
The success of the band concert last night provokes the thought that the University made a wise provision when it decided to encourage a band by providing it with a leader and giving it a share in the associated student enterprises. Aside from the fact that the band is indispensable at all games, meets, and other spectacular features of university life it is worth many times what it costs both to audience and performers for the band to appear on the concert platform to render a formal program.
Missouri is beginning to worry about the indoor Convention Hall meet on March 26. In fact several doesters concede the contest to Kansas. Dr. Monilaw even believes that Missouri is about due for a drubbing. All of which looks mighty bad for the success of the Jayhawkers.
Dean Templin quoted a noted woman as saying that "The life of a woman was a tragedy." A girl who flunked and was put out by the same Dean defines it as: "A comedy of errors."

When the eye persists in playing upon the face, and the mind to dwell on the character and expression of the subject in a picture, it is evidence of good lighting and correct pictorial composition, but when the eye first surveys all else, and the mind carries more of the surroundings than the character and individuality of the subject, it is evidenced of defective lighting or composition or both; MOFFETT photographs are known in most lrge cities of the world by their quality of lighting and composition that give emphasis to individuality, which is the principle reason for their being sought by magazine publishers. There is but ONE MOFFETT known in the photograph business; he is now at 829 Mass. St.,—formerly the Morris Studio, which has been remodeled and made most modern in the state.

Wake up, Juniors!
The junior class committees that are working on the junior prom are being hindered considerably in their work by the indifference shown by the class members concerning the turning in of their "prom dates" to the invitation committee. Besides checking the work of this committee, it also impedes the finance committee which can do nothing until the complete lists are made out by the invitation committee and turned over to it.
The finance committee would like to commence its laborious task of collecting the fees from those who are going to attend the prom, about the first of April. Those who have not already complied with the demands of the invitation committee, may experience some difficulty in getting their invitations if they do not attend to the matter at once.

HAGERMAN'S PROTEGES WON IN A WALK.
Jayhawkers took 9 Firsts and 7 Seconds—Preachers Strong in Field Events.
Kansas won the track meet last night in Robinson Gymnasium from Baker by a score of 66 to 19. The score tells the story. The Preachers were simply outclassed. They couldn't stand the pace set by the speedy Jayhawkers. Six or seven hundred people saw the contest.
Baker did not get a point until the fourth event when Cunningham took second place. Fairchild of Kansas, stumbled on the last lap and failed to place. Martindell won the race easily.
Kansas was strong in the running events, winning all of the firsts and all but three of the seconds, of the eight races. In the field events Baker won the high jump and the pole vault, but the Jayhawker shot putters outdistanced the visitor by more than a foot. Kansas took the relay race in a walk.

BIBLE INSTITUTE BEGINS MONDAY
Next week, beginning Monday, the fourth annual Bible Institute of the University will be held March 15 to March 21 inclusive. This year the committee has been fortunate in securing two of the most prominent religious leaders of the country, Professor Hugh Black, the famous preacher and author, and Dr. Frank K. Sanders, the well-known Bible scholar.
Professor Black, who was formerly pastor of the Scottish Free church in Edinburgh, is at present professor of practical theology in the Union Theological Seminary of New York City. Half of each year he devotes himself to teaching, and the rest of the time he responds to calls for lectures from the large universities of the country. He has made strong appeals to the students of Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Michigan and other schools in the East.
Dr. Sanders conducted the Bible Institute here three years ago, and is well known on the hill. For some years he was dean of the Yale Divinity School. Dr. Sanders is well known as an author and editor on scientific study of the Bible. His lectures this year will begin a series of courses that will continue as a part of the Bible Institute for some years to come.
Arrangements are being made for several conferences, so that the students may meet Professor Black and Dr. Sanders.
BISHOP LILLIS SPOKE IN CHAPEL
Religion in its largest meaning and including the individual's duty to his Creator was the subject of the vigorous address given in chapel Friday morning by the Right Reverend Bishop T. F. Lillis of Leavenworth. He enumerated several of the demands which society makes of its members. To meet these demands some controlling motive is required by every man. The desire for the esteem of fellow men or even devotion to duty, said Bishop Lillis, are often not sufficient for all occasions. Nor is education in itself an adequate motive to cause man to meet the demands of society. Religious principles alone will furnish the necessary universal motive.
Bishop Lillis sees in the history of the nation and in present day conditions many evidences of the power of religion in the United States. On the other hand he sees many forces attacking the religious ideas of the people. Among these is the attitude of legislators and society in general toward the granting of divorces.
TEACHERS MEET NEXT WEEK
ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF HIGH SCHOOLS AND ACADEMIES.
Special Sessions for Instructors in all Lines—Dr. Hugh Black Will Speak.
The sixth annual conference of Kansas High Schools and Academies accredited by the University will be held next Friday and Saturday, March 19 and 20, at the University. The first session will open at 10 o'clock Friday morning when the visiting instructors will unite with the students in listening to an address in the chapel by Dr. Hugh Black of Union Theological Seminary of New York. The remainder of the morning will be occupied by a general conference during which there will be an address by Chancellor Strong and by Hon. E. T. Fairchild, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, on the subject, "School Administration."
Dr. Black, who will be at the University the entire week in connection with the Bible Institute, will deliver two other addresses during the conference. His lecture on "Culture and Control" at 1:30 Saturday afternoon is offered especially for the visiting teachers.
The Friday afternoon and Saturday morning sessions will be devoted to the presentation of papers and informal discussions on the various practicable problems which confront the high schools and academies of the state. Prof. C. G. Dunlap will be chairman of the English section which convenes at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon. Prof. E. M. Hopkins will speak. At the same hour Prof. W. H. Carruth will preside at the meeting of the German section at which he will give an illustrated lecture on "The Tell Country."
Prof. F. H. Hodder and Prof. Eugenie Galloo will preside respectively at the American History and Civics section and the Romance Language section on Saturday morning. E. A. White of Kansas City, Kansas, will be chairman of the chemistry section. The program for the general conference on Friday evening will contain much of interest to the visiting educators. Principal Gilbert B. Morrison, of St. Louis, a well known authority on secondary education, will deliver an address on "Relation of Manual Arts to a Liberal Education." Prof. D. M. Bowen, of Ft. Scott, will apply the problem directly to the situation in Kansas by presenting the report of a committee o
(Continued on page 4.)
MORE SUGGESTIONS FROM THE FACULTY
The question as to whether the students' day shall be made a reality or not, is being discussed by the students as well as the faculty.
In speaking of the students' day "Uncle Jimmy" Green said, "It would be a mighty good thing, if properly carried out. But there is the danger of too much criticism by the speakers. An injudicious use of invective, personal abuse and criticism might be productive of more harm than good. Criticism given conscientiously would be beneficial—for it would be given from the viewpoint of the students. Much would depend upon the kind of speakers as to the success of the enterprise."
Dean Green thinks the best way for the students to get their day is to act through the various classes. The presidents could send a petition to the Chancellor asking for the students' day. This would give the movement official sanction. Professor J. E. Boodin is another great enthusiats for the students' day exercises. "I greatly approve of it," he said, "and would be glad to cooperate in the work."
Professor Boodin was chairman of the chapel committee when the last students' day was held a few years ago. He said they had every reason to be satisfied with the exercises. He suggested that each school elect its own representative who shall speak on the work it is doing. Then several men might be chosen from the University at large to speak on any theme they might choose.
The Hiawatha News.
Copies of the first issue of the Hiawatha News have been received at the Kansan office. This paper is being edited by Wallace F. Hovey, who last year was graduated from the college. He was also managing editor of The Kansan when Roy Roberts was editor. The News is a five-column, twelvepage paper. It has many more departments than the ordinary weekly. It is one of the few country weekly papers that devotes the front page to big news stories.
WILL BE A NATIONAL.
Lambda Epsilon, the local legal honorary fraternity organized some time ago received an acceptance to its petition to Phi Alpha Delta today. Phi Alpha Delta is a national honorary fraternity of good standing and has been installed at several neighboring law schools this year.

A "LINE FENCE" BETWEEN SCHOOLS.
Regent Taylor of the Kansas State Agricultural College introduced into the last legislature a bill forbidding the University to teach agriculture or any directly connected branch and forbidding Manhattan to teach engineering. For this Regent Taylor was severely censured by the students, faculty and alumni of the Agricultural college, and there were many who declared that he introduced the bill at the instigation of the University authorities. In defense of himself Regent Taylor, before the Kansas City Alumni association, said in part: "Instead of graduating seventeen persons in agriculture, as we did last year, of whom, according to my information, but two are now farming, we should send out, every year, farmer graduates by the hundred, who would hasten back to the land. . . . The University people had no collusion, consultation, understanding, prearrangement, or plan, formulated or otherwise, by word, letter or wire, with me. The only motive I can think of adequate to influence a person to such an action is the one that in this case actually applies, viz: That, I thought the thing I was doing ought to be done. It seems to me that it would be a misfortune greater than the waste of money for the state to establish an agricultural course at Lawrence. It seems to me that it would be a misfortune worse than the waste of money for the state to support a second University at Manhattan. I repeat it, a "line fence" between the institutions ought to be established by law."
The Lawrence World, commenting editorially on an objectionable illustration contained in an advertisement which appeared in The Kansan, suggested that not sufficient care is taken by publishers to insure the freedom of the advertising columns from every demoralizing and improper tendency. Reference was made to
he fact that clothing advertisements are illustrated with pictures of gilded youths holding drinking cups, bull dog pipes, or the illegal cigarette, thus giving the unsophisticated freshman the impression that if the unities are to be preserved the habits must go with the clothes. The point is well taken. But in general, the publisher's careful oversight might well extend to other details than the illustrations. The paper which contained the criticism of The Kansan is a notorious offender in the matter of filling its inside pages with advertisements of quack nostrums, some of them dressed in the guise of news to entrap the reader, and malodorous with revolting descriptions of disease. The publisher prints these things, not because he thinks they help anybody, but because they are making him rich. For this reason, much as a renovation is needed in his unlovely inner pages, and those of many other publishers, it is to be feared that this highly objectionable matter will continue to be inflicted upon readers, as long as they submit to it.
Next Friday and Saturday a number of basket ball teams from all over the state will come to the University. The county clubs should make arrangements to entertain guests from their counties and to show them about the University. Let the young people from the high schools know that they are wanted and needed at the University.
A Change for the Better!
While young men's styles are not as spectacular this spring as they were last season, nevertheless our tailors have held to dashing and original lines. The reason is that young men want something "different" in spite of elderly opinion. There has never been displayed a cleaner-cut or smarter line of young men's suits and overcoats than those which make up our excellent assortments for this spring. They began to sell from the moment they were placed on exhibit and we look for the largest young men's trade we have ever had in any season. Suits $12.50 to $30.00. Overcoats $12.50 to
Suits $12.50 to $30.00.
Overcoats $12.50 to $25.00.

THE SILHQUETTE MAN.
Visited The Kansan this Morning; Making his Way with Scissors.
Wyman Green, the silhouette man, came down to The Kansan office this morning and gave the office force an exhibition of his work. He had with him silhouettes of several members of the faculty which were praised and commented upon at great length.
Green has been doing this kind of work for four years. No one showed him how to do it. He saw a fellow performing the stunt in Wichita one day and it looked so easy he tried it himself when he got home. He found the work to his liking and has been doing it ever since.
Green has been in school all year. He has been making his way with his little scissors. Some days he has made as high as five dollars, others he does not make anything. When he has time to work he can always find something to do. His phone number is 195 on the Bell and he will call anywhere to do work.

Fifty members of Junior Pharmic class met at the Eldridge House Thursday night for their first annual banquet. The occasion was in honor of Professor Adolph Ziefle, who will leave March 22, for Fargo, N. Dakota, where he has accepted a professorship in the state Agricultural college.
The banquet in eight courses, was served at eight thirty and an hour later, Dwight G. Hulburd, president of the class, acting as toastmaster, introduced Dean L. E. Sayre who spoke on "Problems of Pharmacy." He was followed by Professor H. W. Emerson on the "Outlook of Pharmacy," Professor L. D. Havenhill on "K. U. Men in Pharmacy," Professor C. M. Sterling with "A Talk to Juniors," and Dr. S. J. Crumbine, Secretary of the State Board of Health, on the "Value of Pure Drugs."
Frank Wood, a member of the class, then spoke on the subject of "Advice to the Faculty" and Roy Worley on"A Farewell to Our Departing Instructor." The latter was responded to by Professor Ziefle, who expressed his regret at leaving the University and the many friends he has made here.
Professor Ziefle came to the University, from Michigan, over a year ago and during that time he has made many analyses of drugs and foods for the health department of the state, besides conducting his regular work in the school of Pharmacy.
A Practical Study.
Professor Bailey's class in chemistry of foods, made a practical test of foods yesterday afternoon at a banquet in the chemical museum. Four courses were served entirely from porcelain dishes, with the exception of the cocoa which was supped from glass beakers. Potatoes, and salt rising bread were baked in the electric oven which H. A. Kohman uses in his experiments in breadmaking. The salt rising bread was exceptionally well appreciated. The final course was grape juice ice frozen with liquid air. Each one held a porcelain dish full of grape juice into which Professor Bailey poured a little liquid air. The owner stirred it for a few seconds, and the ice was frozen.

"The London Times," said Mr. Murray, "is without doubt the greatest newspaper in the world. Its ideal is not to get the news first but to get it right. An accurate history of any period which it covers can be written from the files of the Times."

TO PROMOTE GOLF PLAYING
Last fall, owing to the inspiration of a few new members of the faculty, the game of golf was revived at K. U. About twenty people started in late in the fall to improve the ground. This spring an effort will be made to put the field in good order. So that the links will be something to be proud of. The plan is to put in perfect order a nine-hole course. This may be repeated for an eighteen hole course. About fifty persons are expected to join the club. The fee is $2.00 each for the season. This will give about $100.00 to be spent on grounds. The University will also aid in the improvements to the ground. The officers of the club are Prof. Blackmar, president; Prof. Crawford, secretary; Profs. Sterling, Newson, Patterson the executive committee. The membership will consist of the professors and students of the University and the golf enthusiasts of Lawrence. Those desiring to become members should see the committee.

TRAINING TABLE TO BE RETAINED
MISSOURI TO STAND WITH KANSAS AND NEBRASKA.
One Third of Conference Schools Want Tables.—Four Are Against Them.
The athletic committee of Missouri University decided last Friday that Missouri should cast her vote in the Missouri Valley conference for the retention of the training table. At the last conference meeting in January Dr. Hetherington, the Tiger representative, voted to abolish the table. The change in attitude was brought about by student sentiment and the solid stand of "M" men for special training.
At the January conference meeting it was decided to abolish the table if in a period of sixty days one third of the conference schools did not protest the action. Kansas and Nebraska at once protested and it was hoped that Ames would change her vote. Few considered that there was any chance that Missouri would stand right about face and stand with Kansas and Nebraska.
The action of Missouri insures training tables in the conference next year. Iowa is against the idea because the Chicago Conference rules debar the table from the Hawkeye school, Washington, Drake and Ames plead that they cannot afford to maintain special training quarters for football men.
Prof. Sanders in Chapel.
President F. K. Sanders of Washburn spoke in chapel Tuesday morning along the line of the addresses he is giving each afternoon in connection with the Bible Institute. His talk consisted of reasons why a knowledge of the gospels should be a part of the education of everyone. They are of intrinsic value because they treat of things which Jesus himself regarded as worth while. The truths are treated in a way to stimulate those who study them. Furthermore a knowledge of the gospels will have a socializing effect. "But the supreme value of studying Scripture", said Dr. Sanders, "Is that it continually deepens our consciousness of God."

INSTITUTE HAS BEGUN
FOURTH ANNUAL SESSION BE-GAN YESTERDAY.
Dr. Sanders Lectured on "Gospel of Mark"; Dr. Black on "Reconstruction in Theology."
The University of Kansas fourth annual Bible Institute opened yesterday. The presence of two of the most prominent religious leaders of the day, in Professor Hugh Black and Dr. Frank K. Sanders, insures a week of the broadest religious education and the deepest spiritual meditation.
Dr. Frank K. Sanders, the eminent Bible scholar, formerly Dean of the Yale Divinity School, and now the head of Washburn College, gave the first lecture of his course of five lectures yesterday afternoon at 3:30. His subject was "The Four Gospels, Interpreted as History and Literature." As an introduction to the broad, general subject he discussed the slow appearance of written records of the life of Christ.
His real subject for the afternoon's talk was "The Gospel of Mark: The story of the active ministry of Jesus told with a keen sense of its orderly development and dramatic character." In this Gospel of Mark Dr. Sanders has found a series of eight scenes by which the author portrays the public ministry of Jesus. Its chief value is its vividness, its realism, the power of impression it makes upon one. These impressions make a natural basis for the beginning of a study of the words and works of the Master as set down in the four Gospels.
Following Dr. Sanders, Professor Hugh Black, the famous Scottish preacher and author, now professor of practical theology in Union Theological seminary, began his course of lectures on "Reconstruction of Theology." He confined his remarks to "The Need of Reconstruction" and "The Principles upon which the Reconstruction must Proceed," combining the lectures of Monday and Tuesday which were introductory to his "Illustrations of Results in Special Doctrines," to which he desires to give more time.
In the beginning Dr. Black said, "I did not come to make you a new theology or to defend the old one. In fact I have enough trouble with my own. A theology is of little use until

COLLEGE BRED LINCOLN.
One of the pseudo statesmen of this vigorous commonwealth in a speech directed against education and the educated used the frazzled-out question, "What could Abraham Lincoln have amounted to, had he had a college education?" There are plenty of people in Kansas who think this argument is unanswerable. They would conceive a college educated Lincoln as raised on a bottle in his early youth, sent to kindergarten at four where he made baskets and played with the girls, bundled off to private school at eight where he studied Latin and history and manual training, and graduated from high school at sixteen with a bubbling knowledge exceeding that of old father and mother at home. Then these anti-educationalists would have Lincoln go to a college where in his freshman year he would learn to smoke cigarettes, sing tenor in the glee club, join a fraternity, lead a bull dog around the campus, and wear loud clothes. They then see him graduated from his alma mater, sallow complexioned, pimple faced, flat chested, and given a place in his uncle's office where, buried in hopeless obscurity, he would have continued the even tenor of his way. But there are few such college students in the whole United States, there never was one, there is none now, and there never will be such a specimen in the University of Kansas. Had Lincoln gone to college he would have studied his lessons and possibly become better acquainted with the problems he was to meet. His great heart would have been tempered, his great soul enlarged and his great mind sharpened. A college bred Lincoln would have been as great as—who may not say greater than—the real Lin-
Training tables will be continued in the Missouri Valley Conference. In their mad rush to follow the example of the Chicago Conference in every small detail, it looked as
nough the conference schools would abolish the training table. The Valley schools do not need a preceptor in forming a conference; they do not need to imitate for they have initiative enough to build after their own peculiar ideas. Football, at best, is a rough sport and any athlete who plays the gridiron game should be in the best physical condition possible. Many a serious injury is forestalled by the extra conditioning a training table gives. The Missouri Valley Conference has done well to deviate from the example of the Chicago Conference and do something on its own hook.
Missouri has a new football coach, imported from the east and heralded as a star mentor. Now since Missouri can't lay it all on the coach the sport writers in Columbia will be kept busy for several months to come thinking up excuses to spring on the public after next Thanksgiving day.

"Iridescent Gray
Young man, if you haven't seen our new spring series of gray suits, don't put it off any longer. One of the new things that is attracting much admiration is an innovation called "iridescent" gray. It's a sort of combination of dove gray and olive with a fine hair-line stripe of harmonizing hue. Then there's the tan series and blue series and green series, and others till you can't count 'em. And mind you, we have all of these in our big showing of special models--the classiest raiment ever built for men,

MAKIN I MORE INSTRUMENTS.
C. W. WILLIAMS Completing Extensometer and Special Balance.
C. W. White, instrument maker, is making a new apparatus known as an extensometer, which was designed by Prof. Corp. This instrument is to be used for testing the stretch in metals and is graduated to such a fine degree that readings as small as one thousandths of an inch may be taken. This instrument, which has only been modified by Prof. Corp, consists of two clamps which encircle the metal and their only connection is by two microscopies screws which when touching both clamps form an electric circuit. By taking readings before the metal is stretched and then taking readings after, the exact stretch can be obtained.
A special balance for the measurement of the surface tention of liquids has been recently completed by Mr. White. This apparatus was designed by Prof. Walker and he and Mr. White have worked out the mechanical workings of it.

YOU have been reading a good deal of late about the Famous ROYALS of Chicago and New York, the concern that brings the style of Broadway, New York to your door; the concern that makes it possible for you to have all your Clothes made by the BEST TAILORS IN THE WORLD for less than you have been paying for ready-made clothes.

you make one for yourself.' He showed that the theology of the church is bound to lag behind religion because the creed of a church is slower of change than is that of an individual. The present age is preeminently an epoch of criticism and an age of science, and the application of scientific methods. The supreme difficulty lies in adjusting the universal principles of Christianity to this special age. It is a time of great unrest and questioning, but it is not an irreligioes age.

NUMBER 66
CHANCELLOR IS WILLING
STUDENTS MAY HAVE A SPECIAL DAY.
A Meeting Next Week to Consider a Council for Student Activity.
In regard to the students day Chancellor Strong said today, "I am in favor of it and would like to see it carried through. If the affair is properly conducted it would be of much benefit to the University. It will not be necessary to petition the University Council because the students can have their day if they really want it. The only thing we ask is that the exercises may really take the place of the regular Friday chapel."
The Chancellor will call a meeting of all University men early next week to consider the organization of a student council. He is of the opinion that there is much work that can be done by such a body.
If the students are serious in their desire for a students' day and a students' council they can have both. The Chancellor favors several reforms but feels that they should come from the student body.
UNIVERSITY CLUB COMMITTEE BUSY
The committee appointed by the faculty to investigate the possibility of financing the University Club, met Tuesday evening with Dr. McClung.
Dr. Carruth is the chairman of the committee composed of Dean Templin, Professors Boynton, Burdick, Patterson, Vander Vries, Hood, A.J. Walker, and Dr. McClung.
The report on finances was satisfactory, and, on the whole, the committee favors organizing a stock company or holding company to buy and build rather than to rent a house.
The Betas entertained Dr. Hugh Black and Prof. Boodin at dinner Wednesday night.
The Phi Psis will give an informal party in F. A. A. hall Saturday night.
The chairman has been authorized to call a meeting next week of those faculty members interested to hear the report.
A sub-committee composed of Dean Templin, and Professors Van der Vries and Patterson reported upon the financial outlook.

TO REWARD ATHLETES
"K" MEN WILL GET PERMA-NENT PASS.
Athletic Board Planning to Give Medals to Men Who Have Served University.
The Athletic Board of the University is developing plans for adopting a system of medals that will give all "K" men who have served the University free admission to all athletic games on McCook field and in Robinson gymnasium.
The medal pensions are an outgrowth of the free admission order that was made last year, permitting all "K" men to witness all athletic events free of charge. Some trouble has arisen on account of the gate-keepers not recognizing athletes of a few years ago.
One plan is to give the same kind of medal for each branch of athletics, it having an emblem of victory on one side and the owner's name on the other with his event and its date. It has been suggested that these be bronze for one year's service, silver for two and gold for three. Another plan is to give footballs to the football men, base balls to the baseball men and basketballs to the basketball men. As soon as a definite plan has been adopted, these medals will be given to all new "K" men, and all old "K" men can get them at actual cost.
MANY TEACHERS WILL BE HERE
Prof. W. H. Johnson who has charge of the conference of high school and academy instructors which convenes at 10 o'clock Friday morning is anticipating a profitable session. He is expecting an attendance of between two and three hundred teachers from over the state. Not only will the State Normal and the Kansas City, Kas. schools be well represented but large delegations will come from more distant schools.
The conference will give to seniors of the University who expect to teach next year a valuable opportunity to meet the leaders of various schools of the state in addition to presenting a program of interest in connection with their future work.
Prof. Jackson of the Food Analysis laboratory has not been able to meet his classes this week on account of illness.
DOCTOR BLACK
CONTINUED LECTURES TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
"Reconstruction of Theology" and "Justification by Faith" the Subjects.
Professor Hugh Black continued his lectures on "Reconstruction in Theology" by speaking Tuesday afternoon on "Faith" as one of the special doctrines which should be considered in any study of theology. He said that faith is not restricted to religious life but is essential to all scientific investigation and is present in all business activity where it is called confidence and credit. When a man says he has lost his religion he has really lost only his theology. He may have lost his faith in the form in which religion is organized.
"Faith," said Dr. Black, "is not only the acceptance of facts but is also a committal of the life to God. A religion based on knowledge or the emotions would produce a philosophy or a mysticism. A religion based on faith has the broadest, most fundamental and most universal basis which can be secured."
On Wednesday afternoon Dr. Black spoke on the doctrine of "Justification by Faith." This phrase has been associated with Paul and Martin Luther who were strenuous advocates of it. Yet the doctrine is the heart of Old Testament religion as the Israelites received everything by simple faith. Furthermore the other apostles taught it as truly as did Paul but by them it was termed forgiveness of sins. Dr. Black suggested several standards by which men might be judged but showed that no one would really wish to accept them. He said that the doctrine of justification by faith implies that God judges a man's life by his intention. Though admitting that this might thus be considered a dangerous doctrine Dr. Black emphasized that it was also a comforting one.

THE UNIVERSITY IN POLITICS.
The enemies and friends of the University have long deplored the fact that the chancellor and various professors play the game of politics every two years in the interest of the University. The "dissenting" members of the legislature are verbose with attacks upon this political activity. The fact is that it is a disgrace that the University was ever dragged into the game of politics. And it is also a fact that the legislature dragged it in. Long ago it was recognized that, unless the chancellor with all the friends of the Universiity lobied and used every conceivable influence at their command, the appropriations would be woefully deficient for the needs of the school. Only by playing politics could the University obtain necessary funds, and so of course, the University played politics. If the legislature is sincere in wishing every vestige of political activity banished from the University let them arrange a system by which the school may be cared for and perpetuated without the biennial fighting, pleading and compromising that features the passage of every appropriation bill. Let the legislature take steps to insure the University a steady income in keeping with the wealth, importance and growth of the state and the school will keep strictly out of state politics. How much would the appropriation have been in the past few years if the chancellor had remained quietly in Lawrence during the sessions of the legislature and let things run their course unhindered?
The athletic board is about to grant suitable rewards to athletes in all lines. These rewards, in whatever shape they may be, should be distinctive marks by which all athletes of the University, past and present, may be readily recognized. Presented to the gate keepers they should be an open sesame to local contests of all kinds. The athletes of the University
have done and should continue to do much for the school and it is only right that clean sportsmen and stalwart men should be encouraged in athletics by distinctions of various kinds.
"I think that 'Richlieu' is one of the best Shakespeare plays that I ever saw," said a student who attended the play in Kansas City last Saturday.

Bells of Town Cows Will No Longer Tinkle on Campus.
The University authorities will not use the northern portion of the campus for a cow pasture this year. The last appropriation was sufficiently in keeping with the needs of the University to make it unnecessary longer to rent the north campus as a range for the benefit of the pittance which would accrue to the treasury.
The work of beautifying that portion of the campus, hitherto impossible, will now be undertaken. The newly reorganized golf club will use that portion of the ground for a course. About all the money the club can raise on dues will be spent in removing underbrush and getting the putting greens into shape.
Attended "Sunflower" Banquet.

ARE THROUGH HEAVY WORK
TRACK MEN WILL REST FOR A WEEK.
Several Men Are Sick—Will Be Ready for Tigers-A Special Train.
All of the hard work for the track team is over now, and as Hagerman puts it, "It is up to the men." He has done everything that he can do for them, and winning lies with them. From now until next Friday there will be light practicing and short dashes for speed. The coach is now pointing the men for the Tigers.
With the training table the men have an excellent chance to get into perfect condition. Manager Lansdon has provided the team with plenty of equipment. There is a great deal of worry in the coach's mind over the condition of the men. V. Wood has been sick in bed with the grippe all week, and yesterday had to go home. Haddock also has a severe touch of the grippe, and Reynolds, the high jumper, is off color. Perrill has a bad cold but it is hoped that nothing more serious will develop. Fairchilds is in very poor shape and does not seem to be able to get his old strength that he had before his sickness.
Hagerman is holding short practices in Fraser Hall every evening for the men in the dashes and the hurdles.
The Santa Fe will run a special train down and back for the meet next Friday night.
CHEMICAL SOCIETY MET HERE TODAY
The Kansas City section of the American Chemical Society is in session at the University today, following the plan of holding alternate monthly meetings here and at Kansas City.
This morning at 10:30 there was a conference of all the chemistry teachers held in conjunction with the teachers conference in Green Hall.
The meeting held in the chemistry building this afternoon consisted of fifteen minute talks: "The Making of Lantern Slides," A. F. Layman; "Changes in the Kansas Food Law," Prof. E. H. S. Bailey; "Recent Decision on the Use of Boracic Acid as a Preservative." W. W. Brown.
The evening meeting will be held at the Eldridge House. After dinner Professor F. B. Dains, of Washburn, will lecture on "The Work of Bergnan, Gohn and Scheele in the Development of Chemistry."

WELL ATTENDED
THREE HUNDRED AT HIGH SCHOOL CONFERENCE.
Teachers from all over State Here
—Luncheon Served to the
Visitors at Noon.
The sixth annual conference of the teachers of the accredited high schools and academies began yesterday morning after chapel as arranged by the program. The total attendance has amounted to about 300, and it is of especial importance since it is a representative gathering. There are teachers from all over the state, and the old familiar faces of former K.U. students are seen in great numbers.
The main feature of the general conference has been the emphasis placed on manual training work in relation to a liberal education. Also what credit should be given for manual and commercial subjects taken in the high school has been discussed. At present the college does not accept for entrance credit manual training work, but the probability is that in the future this will be given.
The various sections of the conference had the best attendance that they have ever had.
THE LUNCHEON
A luncheon was served to the visiting teachers in Snow Hall at 12:15. A committee of ladies of the faculty had the arrangements in charge. Mrs.O'Leary was the chairman of this committee. Ten of the University girls served.
PREPARATIONS FOR MAY FETE ARE ELABORATE

At a meeting of the May Fete enthusiasts last Thursday evening at the home of Prof. C. H. Gray, Miss Fern Cramer was elected manager. The following committee was appointed: Prof. and Mrs. C. H. Gray, Hannah Oliver, Misses Sage, Norris, Nadia Thomas and Agnes Evans.
The entire program has not been arranged. But a few changes have been made from that of last year. A lord and lady, to be chosen from the senior class, will take the place of the May Queen. There will be four May poles—one for each class of the University. The Masque Club and the Thespians will give short productions. Other attractions will be arranged for later. The date of the fete is set for May 1 unless the weather prevents.

INSTITUTE OVER
CLOSED WITH YESTERDAY'S LECTURES.
Black at Vespers Tomorrow.
Many Students and Down Town People Were in Attendance—Dr. Block at Vanessa Tomorrow
The Bible Institute this year was successful. Each lecture was well attended and appreciated by the audiences. Both Doctor Black and Professor Sanders made many friends while here.
In his Thursday afternoon talk on the doctrine of sin Professor Hugh Black again emphasized the importance of the truths of the past even in the reconstruction of a doctrine. The Old Testament idea that sin is the opposite of righteousness and the departure of man from God's law is entirely correct.
In the last analysis the cause of sin is in the human will. The theoretical origin of sin is of no consequence, but the practical origin of temptation is of much importance and this makes the human will the tragic battlefield of the world.
In his address Friday afternoon Dr. Black rounded up the thoughts of the week's discussions of doctrines. "The Gossel is not a system but a message," said Dr. Black. "Christ made his religion consist of fellowship with himself." Professor Black emphasized the essential thought of his address by saying that he would not walk across the street to bring a man over to his theology but would put forth a great amount of effort to bring men to Christ.
Professor Black delivered an address before the teacher's conference at 1:30 this afternoon. He will close his week at the University with an address at the vesper services Sunday afternoon at 4:30 in the gymnasium. This will replace the previously announced union service at night.
Thursday afternoon Professor Frank K. Sanders gave his fourth lecture, "The Gospel of John." "This gospel," says Professor Sanders, "is the one of supreme spiritual worth." It is essentially a gospel of the Christian church, its purpose being to develop one theme. As a final word, this gospel, when viewed from any standpoint, is "an apostolic representation of Jesus, and not of His work."
Professor Frank K. Sanders gave his concluding lecture Friday afternoon on "The Personality of Jesus as Outlined in the Synoptic Gospels." Professor Sanders first gave a resume of his lectures during the week, showing the characteristics and special power of each of the four gospels. In speaking of the personality of Jesus, Professor Saunders showed how each gospel brought out and emphasized a certain side of His life. Yet they all try to make us see a great personality. It was through his accumulated power by intercourse with God that Christ could represent to us the divine and the ideal.

A GRAND OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS.
Next week the chancellor will call a meeting of the men of the University to find out the real sentiment of the student body concerning a students' day and a students' council. He will discover whether the agitation for both these features is from a few active demagogues or from the majority of the students. All reforms must come from the students themselves and the chancellor is willing that they should have every thing they want within reasonable bounds. The meeting will afford an opportunity for every man on the hill to express his opinion of a students' day and students' council. There should be speeches by conscientious students who take the matter seriously. If enough serious minded men attend the meeting called by the chancellor a committee will undoubtedly be appointed to draw up a scheme for a council and the student body will enter upon an era never before known. School patriotism will increase wonderfully, societies will be organized among the students to give the University publicity over the state and to increase the enrollment of the school. The chancellor will receive a fuller aid from the students before each legislature and the graduates will look back upon their alma mater with tenderer memories than is possible under the present arrangement. School spirit is the key to a great University. A students' council, in a hundred ways, will further this spirit. Every student should attend the chancellor's meeting, let him know that the student body thinks on these matters. Be present at the meeting or forever hold your peace.
Whenever some student gets a particularly lazy streak and wants to cut class he merely announces the fact to his classmates and brands all who refuse to follow him as "pikers." Now no student wants to be a "piker," whatever that is, and
so generally they will cut the class against their own wish and better judgment. The majority of the students that cut class do not really wish to do so.

YES, I handle the ROYAL CLOTHES advertised in the Magazines
YOU have been reading a good deal of late about the Famous ROYALS of Chicago and New York, the concern that brings the style of Broadway, New York to your door; the concern that makes it possible for you to have all your Clothes made by the BEST TAILORS IN THE WORLD for less than you have been paying for ready-made clothes.
I Can Take Your Order for ROYAL Clothes
I can show you 800 BEAUTIFUL SPRING ROYAL PATTERNS, ALL PURE WOOL, and let you pick your EASTER SUIT from this big collection. The features of ROYAL Clothes you cannot buy, for love or money, in any other clothes. With a ROYAL suit you get a legal GUARANTEE, warranting the garment to be ALL PURE WOOL—without a thread of cotton in it—shape retaining, and more, to hold its good fit and style until completely worn out. And the snap, the dash, the clever style effects the ROYALS put into their suits from $20 to $40 would cost you $45 to $70 if you had a New York local tailor make your suit. Come in and see for yourself.

FRESHMEN HAVE MANY ATHLETES
This year's freshmen track team promises to be a good one, so says Coach Hagerman. The number of candidates and their variety of events may cause this prediction to come true.
French in the high jump is doing regularly over 5 feet 6. Roberts has a record of 10 flat in the hundred-yards and 51 in the quarter. LeMoine, Davis and Stuckey are also making good time in the latter event. Haines will be strong in the two-twenty. In the two-mile LeMoine has made 11:03, which is better than the varsity indoor time. Watson is just a few seconds slower. Kraus is doing near 5 flat in the mile. Stuckey is making the best time in the half-mile. Davis is doing well in the hurdles. Ammons is putting the shot over 38 feet and hurling the discus 105 feet. O'Connor will do the pole-vaulting.
Several of the strongest men may enter unattached in the K. C.A.C. handicap meet which will be held in Convention Hall, April 2.

One of the members of the Junior Prom invitation committee was down to this office this morning complaining about the slowness of the members of the Junior class in turning in their prom dates. This committee has been working hard for three months trying to accommodate the other members of the class.
According to the statement of the visitor, the invitation committee has made a solemn resolve never to ask a junior for his date again. Should this threat be made good April 29 may come and find many juniors without an invitation to the Prom.

WILL HAVE FINAL TEST
CELEBRATION AND MASS MEETING FRIDAY.
Chancellor to Meet Students Hall Way on Students' Day and Student Council Agitation.
There will be "something doing" at the University Friday after the chapel exercises. The two class periods will be given over to the students.
First an effort will be made to arouse some enthusiasm for the track meet with Missouri. The track followers feel that K. U. has the best chance of years to beat the Tigers. There are some new men on the team and a touch of the real K. U. spirit might do wonders for them. The University drum corps will be out and "Rock Chalk" will be heard on all sides.
After the enthusiasm meeting, the chancellor will meet all the men of the University in chapel to discuss plans for forming a students council. At the same time the question of a students day will be brought up.
For years there has been an intermittent movement for a student council. The chancellor has seen fit to call this meeting. The attendance and the spirit shown will be a test of the students's feelings in regard to the matter.
"Dick" Priest to Marry.
Tomorrow evening Richard Priest a senior engineer and captain of the '08 track team, will be married to Miss Verda Ward of Kansas City. Mr. Priest is from Chanute, Kansas, and it was there that he first became acquainted with his bride. The young couple will live in Kansas City where the groom will do engineering work with a construction company.
To Attend Conference.
Dean Templin left this afternoon for Madison, Wisconsin, to attend a conference of Deans of Colleges and State Universities to be held at University of Wisconsin. From there he will go to Chicago to attend the North Central Association of University deans.
PLAY INDIANS
BASEBALL TEAM PLAYS HAS-KELL NEXT WEEK.
Team Picked With Exception of Third Base—Game With Aggies April 8.
Coach Ebright has arranged for three practice games of baseball with the Haskell Indians for Monday, Friday and Saturday of next week. The first game will be played on the Haskell diamond and the last two on McCook.
With the exception of third base the 'varsity team has been picked. The lineup now includes Rockefeller and Huff, catchers; Walker, first; Gibbs, second; Haller, short-stop; Lovett, left field; H. Wood, center field; Carlson, right field and pitchers Harlan, Lock, Burdick, Heizer and Farrell. Third base will go to either Blacker, Fisher, Palmer, or Harvey and the player will be definitely decided upon after the first game with Haskell.
The first scheduled games will be played against K. S. A. C. at Manhattan April 8 and 9.
SELF GOVERNMENT FOR K. U. WOMEN
The committee of senior and junior girls, who were elected by their respective classes to consider plans for organizing a self-government association, met the Chancellor, for conference, this afternoon. The senior committee has been at work since the opening of the second term, arousing interest in the movement for self-government. As a result,the junior girls met two weeks ago, and elected a committee to serve with them. Meetings of the sophomore and freshman classes will be held soon. A mass meeting of all the girls of the University will then follow, to adopt a constitution and elect officers. It seems to be the wish of all the girls that the organization be founded on a thoroughly democratic basis, and that the council or governing board be made up of representatives elected by the various classes and schools of the University.
The conference with the chancellor today is to determine what responsibilities the organization may fittingly undertake.
MEET NEXT FRIDAY
CONTEST WILL BE CLOSE AND CLEAN.
The Kansan's Forecast is Kansas 44, Missouri 41—New Men on Both Teams. THE KANSAN'S FORECAST.
44 Total
With the Kansas-Missouri indoor track meet only three days off the athletes under Coach Hagerman have finished strenuous practice and are doing just enough work to keep pointed for their events. All the men are in good condition and able to do their best on Fridav night.
It looks as though Kansas had a good chance to come home with first place for the first time since the indoor meet has featured track athletics between the two schools. Missouri has lost several of her old time stars and the contest will be mainly between new men.
In any event the meet is pretty sure to be close and clearly fought throughout. Both schools have evenly balanced teams with few individual stars. No one athlete on either team is likely to annex more than eight points.
Dean of Bible College.
Rev. Chas. M. Sharpe '97 has been elected dean of the Bible College of Missouri, Columbia, Mo., which is devoted to the instruction of men for the ministry of the Christian church. Mr. Sharpe was pastor of the Christian church in Lawrence for some time after he took his Master's degree at the University in 1899 but since 1902 he has been professor of Old Testament in the school of which he now becomes the head.
HALSTEAD WON
BELOIT BEAT CHANUTE IN GIRLS' FINAL.
Eudora Disqualified at end of the First Half-Cups to Victor Balls to Seconds.
In the final games of the high school basket ball tournament Halstead won the boys' championship and Beloit the girls' championship.
The game between Halstead and Eudora was called off at the end of the first half on account of there being two ineligible men on the Eudora team. The Halstead team won the championship last year. Ben Young, captain of last year's base ball team coached the victorious lads.
In the girls' game the Beloit team almost doubled the score made by the Chanute team the final score being 15 to 8.
The victorious teams were given trophy cups while the seconds were awarded the basket balls played with.
The visiting high school teams were composed of many good players many of whom will enter the University next fall. The members of the victorious teams are: Halstead, Todd, Eubick, Kowder, Dettweiler and Showalter. Beloit, Belknap, Baker, Ball, White, and Welburn.
WILL GIVE CONCERT IN CHAPFL TONIGHT
The Schildkret Hungarian Orchestra will give a concert in University Hall this evening at 8 o'clock. This concert is given in the place of the mandolin club concert. Athletic tickets being good for admission.

THE UNIVERSITY THE LABORERS
AND
Ten years ago, any labor leader called upon to address any University audience, would have considered it necessary to justify his position and explain his attitude toward social and labor problems. As showing that Universities are coming closer to the people in all walks of life and that University professors and students have a keen interest in and a fine appreciation of the problems of the laborer, it may be interesting to note how John Mitchell is received at the institutions where he lectures. Every place students and faculty in large numbers hear him and show sympathetic interest in his work. The increasing broad mindedness of college men is rapidly closing the gap between the brain workers and muscle workers, and the laborers are coming to realize that a University may have benefits for all the people.
Professor Walker's chapel talk this morning corrected some popular misapprehensions as to who pays the bills when University instructors go on trips to attend association meetings of various kinds, while their classes drift about on the sea of learning without a rudder, as it were. It seems that these trips, together with the writing of erudite treatises which are "born to blush unseen," are necessary to maintain the standing of the University abroad. The professor loses not only money but much valuable time, and the students lose out on knowledge that they are thirsting for, but what at first seems to be an economic waste is perhaps counterbalanced by the added prestige which accrues to the University.
With a new coach and twenty players going through spring practice daily, Missouri has already won next Thanksgiving's game in her own mind. The Tigers generally pull the game out of the fire by a close score in the late spring or in the
early autumn but the memory of man recalleth not the time in previous years when they pocketed the contest so early in the day.
The County Clubs did good service for the University during the basketball tournament. The high school students were entertained by the club members, shown about the campus and interested in the school. Not a few of them promised to be students here next fall.
A story of merit must entertain the imagination; a picture properly composed will do likewise. MOFFETT photographs have these qualities and satisfy where all others have failed; ask the seniors who have them.
Imperial $3 Hats
A $3
Wonder!
One of the biggest triumphs ever known in the headwear world has been achieved by the Imperial factory in the production of their new spring lines. Not only does the variety of styles and colors surpass anything previously known in $3 headwear, but the makers have given another demonstration of their unique enterprise by using, in each hat, a quality of materials and workmanship not possessed by any other $3 hats in the world. We would like every man in Lawrence and vicinity to see this display. We have the complete spring lines and they are certainly a treat to behold.

THE
Walksac
Model
Fadclothes are the result of an idea.
The idea came from young men who wanted to design men's garments that would look different.
Take 100 ordinary men.
They look exactly alike. Then put a Gadclothes man in with them.
He stands out like a lighthouse on a dark night. That's because Fadclothes have a certain swing and dash to them THAT NO OTHER CLOTHES CAN EVEN IMITATE Your custom tailor can't give your clothes the snap and smartness of Fadclothes because he's afraid to be daring. The result is that nobody ever knows when you blossom out in a new suit.
TRY WEARING A SUIT OF Fadclothes. YOU'LL FIND YOURSELF IN MIGHTY GOOD COMPANY.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE CHAMPIONS BUSY
Two years ago Miss Thomas, president of Byrn Mawr, established the College Women's Equal Suffrage League among the women of that institution. This movement was heartily received by many colleges and now there are twenty-seven schools with clubs of this character. The purpose of this club is to form a union of college women, both students and alumnae to co-operate with the National Woman's Suffrage Association. Miss Eleanor Lexow heralded this movement at the U. of K, the latter part of January. She made several informal talks at the different clubs and sorority houses presenting the subject to those heretofore indifferent. A provisional meeting was held in the chapel at which Miss Lexow discussed the matter with the University women as a body and proposed plans for the establishing of permanent organization.
Various attitudes have been assumed by the women of the University, toward this movement some are indifferent and apparently satisfied with conditions as they are; others are bitter anti-suffargists and consider politics and affairs of state without woman's domain; still others are ardent champions of the enfranchisement of women and consider themselves entitled to a share in forming the laws which govern them.
The movement started by Miss Lexow was taken up by several enthusiastic members of the faculty together with a few students and culminated in the organizing of a permanent chapter of College Women's Equal Suffrage League composed of about fifty members.

Final Talk at Vespers.
"Indecision is the intellectual temptation of our time," said Professor Hugh Black in his address at vespers Sunday afternoon which closed his week at the University. The Roman governor Felix before whom the apostle Paul was accused was the Scriptual character presented by Prof. Black as a basis for his talk. He said that hesitation amounting to indecision was justifiable in some intellectual considerations but that in religious affairs indecision brought serious results. If a man merely neglected to act in favor of a Christian life he would thereby make an eternal mistake.
Professor R. K.Duncan returned last night from Boston. He has been away fom the University the last few days in the interest of the Industrial chemistry department.

STUDY OF GERMAN IN HIGH SCHOOLS
The German department has recently completed its report on the study of German in Kansas high schools. The statistics thus derived show that 141 out of the total 155 accredited high schools now offer German in their curriculum. The number of high schools with three year courses in German has increased nearly fifty per cent. All of the figures point to an increasing interest in the study of German over the state.
The German Bulletin, published twice a year by the department, has helped in this movement. Another factor is the fact that of the 150 teachers of German in the state, 58 are old University of Kansas students.
The German department is planning to give a play early in May. The cast has not been chosen yet.
PROFESSOR WALKER SPOKE IN CHAPEL.
"Every student of the University is interested in having professors attend meetings of educational associations," said Professor A. T. Walker in chapel this morning. "Even if the student does not read the minutes of the association or the scholarly articles read there, his interest is being served, for it is the attendance of faculty men at such meetings that determines the standing of his school abroad and gives value to the diploma he will some time hold."
Professor Walker's speech was made in reply to an editorial which appeared in the Kansas some time ago, which deprecated the fact that professors sometimes take trips to attend conventions while school is in session.

ARE READY FOR TIGERS
JAYHAWKER TEAM IS RESTING TODAY.
All the Men are in Good Condition Special Leaves at 2:15 Tomorrow
Tomorrow night in Convention Hail the Jayhawkers and Tigers will have their annual indoor battle for track honors. The Tigers are confident of winning. They consider Kansas as not having a look in Coach Hagerman is just as optimistic about the Jayhawkers and many track critics say he has a right to be that way.
The team is resting today. The men are in the pink of condition for the fray tomorrow night. The coach says every man is at his best. This week on the training table has done wonders for the men, giving them the final touches.
In the try-outs several of the Convention Hall records have been beaten. Haddock and Newbold ran the fifty yard dash in 5-3 on the rubber mats in Fraser Hall Tuesday afternoon. The new men are doing stunts just like this and the coach says he expects to spring a number of surprises tomorrow night.
"If all the men do their best individually," said Captain Newbold today, "we have got the Tigers bested by ten or eleven points. Such men as Perril, Fairchilds, Clark and Thompson are going to show great form when it comes to the final test."
Coach Hagerman said, "Figure it any way you will I can't see how we can possibly lose. Last year the Tigers had three or four stars who won the meet for them. This year the Missouri team is a balanced one and for this reason I think we are going to lick them."
In the pole vault Wenger has got back to his old time form and "Tommy" Johnson will do his share in both the vault and hurdles.
The Kansas entries are:
50 yard dash: Haddock, Newbold.
440 yard run: Perril,Haddock.
880 yard run: Bergen, Badger.
One mile run: Clark, Cooley.
Two mile run: Thompson,

SIX NEW ONES
LEGISLATURE PROVIDED FOR GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS.
Makes Total of 18 Fellowships and 5 Scholarships Available to Students.
The last legislature appropriated money to establish six new graduate fellowships at $500 each. They are open to teachers in Kansas colleges and superintendents and principals of Kansas schools, who are graduates of colleges and universities of recognized standing and who have shown preeminent qualification for advanced work. Blank applications for these fellowships may be secured from the Chancellor of the University on or before May 15, 1909.
These new fellowships will make a notable addition to the present teaching fellowships offered by the University at $265 each. These latter are twelve in number being one each for the following departments: English Language, French, German, American History, European History, Mathematics, Education, Sociology, Philosophy, Chemistry, Botany and Zoology.
Three scholarships are also offered to students in the college. The Marcella Howland Memorial Scholarship is open to junior and senior girls and pays about $80 a year. The Lucinda Smith Buchan Memorial Scholarship, established by the alumnae members of the Pi Beta Phi sorority, is open to young women of the junior and senior classes of the college. It provides for a loan of $200 for three years without interest. Mrs. Sara T. D. Robinson, of Lawrence, supports a research table in the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Mass. Mrs. Robinson makes the opportunity to use this table open to women of the University who have specialized in the biological sciences and given evidence that they are fitted to make the best use of it.
The Roofs and Bridges class of senior civil engineers, accompanied by Prof. H. A. Rice, went to Kansas City today to inspect the railroad bridges on the Kaw and Missouri rivers.

FOOTBALL MEN REPORT MONDAY
CAPTAIN PLEASANT ISSUES CALL FOR PRACTICE.
Will Last for Two Weeks—Kennedy and Mosse Will Have Charge of Work.
All candidates for the '09 football team are requested to report for practice Monday afternoon, March 29, at 3:30 o'clock, on McCook field is the call issued by Carl Pleasant today.
After considering the fact that there is less than a week to practice next fall before the first game the football authorities have decided to have spring practice. Coach Kennedy will have charge of the men every day and St. Leger Mosse will be here part of the time to get a line on the new material. The practice will continue for two weeks.
Carl Pleasant, who is to lead the Jayhawker team next fall, is enthusiastic over the prospect for next year. Several old men are gone from the squad but there are twenty-five or thirty new men who will want to try for a place. He says he wants the new men to get acquainted with the 'varsity system of playing so that they will not be raw recruits next fall.
In regard to the spring practice, Coach Kennedy said: "We start to work next Monday, and we want all the men who can play football to come out. Of course the men who are engaged in active athletic work will be excused. I intend to work the boys on perfecting the forward pass and the onside kick. We will run signals, do some tackling, and we may, before we quit, do some scrimmage work.
"It is much easier for the men to get together in the fall if they have worked together before and our first game,to be played with St. Marys, comes a week after school opens. Mosse will be over to help Pleasant and myself with the work."
There are in school besides last year's candidates about twenty-five men who have shown football ability. The captain has turned in a list of new men who are expected to report Monday. They are: "Big" Smith, "Pete" Heil, Frank Veatch, Powell, Price, Davidson, Ahrens, Ellis, Hottle, Alphin, Rayfield, Wilhelm, Lenox, Amos Smith, Slaymaker, Abernathy, Magill, Doyle, Almond, Spriggett, Cain and Larson.
DR. VON EDEN
BEGINS SERIES OF LECTURES APRIL FIRST.
Will Discuss Psycology, Sociology and Dutch Literature-To Speak at Vespers.
Dr. Von Eden, a famous European literary man of Amsterdam, Holland, will deliver a series of five lectures at the University, beginning April 1. The lectures will be given in the chapel each day at 4:30 and the subjects will include psychology, sociology and Dutch literature. He will also speak at Vesper service on April 4.
For a number of years Dr. Von Eden was a practicing physician in Amsterdam, but in later years he has devoted his entire time to the study of the world's literature and is now one of the foremost authorities on European writings. He is the author of a number of books.
He will spend two months in America studying the literature of this country and delivering a number of lectures at other schools.
STUDENTS SECTION OF A. S. M. E. HERE
Word has recently been received by Prof. P. F. Walker, of the Engineering school, that the American Society of Mechanical Engineers has granted permission to the Mechanical Engineering department of the University to form a student section of that society. This is considered as a recognition of the high standard of the Engineering school here.
The forming of student sections is a new departure from the National society, which has been conservative, and only three or four of the larger eastern schools have been allowed to organize in this manner.
The organization here has been practically settled by the old Mechanical Engineering Society, whose members will be the charter members of the new organization numbering 22 from the three upper classes. The society will hold a meeting tonight to discuss the matter.
The American society of Mechanical Engineers was organized in New York in 1880 and numbers now about 3450 active members. It is the recognized head of that branch of Engineering in this country.

THE MENACE OF CLASS POLITICS.
The inception of a student council presents peculiar and perversive difficulties which may only be overcome by the exhibition of commonsense on the part of the students and of tact on the part of the faculty. The political system at the University is an inherent menace to all improvement and to all reform. Like all political "rings" and "machines" the combinations at the University abhor any change that threatens their supremacy. The politicians will support the project of a students' council only if they see therein an opportunity to keep their power and to exploit still further the political field. The majority of the student body are not politicians and are not interested in class politics. They look with disfavor on the political system, and view with suspicion any new move for fear that it is merely a new tack by the "ring leaders" to catch the veering wind of public opinion. If a committee is appointed or elected to formulate plans for a council it must be kept strictly out of politics. The best plan would be to let the chancellor appoint the temporary committee, because if the members are elected they are sure to represent political combines. The committee last year that let the student council project slumber until it could never be aroused was too large and had too few men with ideas of their own on the subject.
Tomorrow the track team goes to Kansas City to meet Missouri in their annual indoor clash. For the first time it appears as though Kansas has a chance to run away with the long end of the final score. The Kansas rooters may have their first chance to see Kansas wallop the Tigers tomorrow night. No student can afford to miss seeing such an important event in track athletics. You're sure to get your money's worth in any case.
On every bulletin board about the University there are notices of books which have been carried off from the owner. This is a mild way of announcing a theft. University people should cultivate enough honor and integrity to give the owner any misplaced books they may find.

A Unique Instrument.
A unique musical instrument was used by the Schildkret Hungarian Orchestra last Tuesday night. It was a cymbalum, the national instrument of Hungary. The resemblance between the cymbalum and the grand piano is marked, the main difference being in the appearance of the two instruments. The strings of the cymbalum are strung on a sounding board, three strings to each tone to give volume. The strings are then struck with either felt covered sticks or metal rods.

TREATISE ON GRANGERS.
Discusses Organization and Outcome of Movement
"The Co-operative Grangers of Johnson County, Kansas," is the title of a treatise recently completed by Robert Ray, fellow in economics at the University. In the conclusion of this paper Mr. Ray says, "there is considerable truth in the statement that the Grange and its co-operative enterprises have done for the Grangers of Johnson county what President Roosevelt and his rural commission would like to see in every rural community."
In his study Mr. Ray discusses the organization of the National Grange in 1867 and of the first Grange in Kansas, which was the Johnson county Grange formed in 1872. Three co-operative institutions which came from this movement form the main theme of the paper. They are the Johnson County Co-operative Association which was organized in 1876; the Patron's Co-operative Bank of Olathe, which was organized in 1883 and is a joint stock company with Granger stockholders; and the Patron's Fire and Tornado Association of the State of Kansas, organized in 1889. Originally it was to give insurance on farm property at half the average rate of other companies, but in the nineteen years of its existence its rate has been even lower than that.

Four Men From Classes in Journalism to Work on Star.
TO TRY OUT REPORTERS.
--in feats of strength. New Motion
Through arrangements made by the department of journalism with the Kaasas City Star, four members of the journalism classes will go to Kansas City to work on the Star and Times for the period of two weeks. The Star will "try out" these men by putting them through all the stunts that are required of their regular "cub" reporters.
The four men who will try out are H. Clay Waters, who has just retired from the editorship of the Kansan; Claud A. Clay, who resigned last fall from the managing editorship of the Kansan; Ralph Spotts, of the Kansan staff and Frank Motz.
CONCERT WAS ENTERTAINING
The Star expects to make this try-out of the most promising members of the journalism class a regular feature, and will give the aspiring journalists some real training in the spring term of each year.
The Schildkret Hungarian Orchestra gave an entertaining concert Tuesday evening in Fraser Hall. The programme was made up of both classical and ragtime music. Many features were also introduced during the evening, Sam Schildkret being prominent in each. The Orchestra which is composed of eight pieces has played throughout the East before coming here. Mr. Schildkret first came to this country with his musicians to play at the World's Fair. Since then the famous orchestra has played for the wedding of Miss Alice Roosevelt and for Prince Henry during his tour through this country.
ANOTHER FELLOWSHIP.
Prof. R. K. Duncan has just received another fellowship for the Industrial Chemistry department. A large glass company with head offices in New York City has offered $1500 a year for two years for a research student working on "The Optical Properties of Glass in Relation to its Chemical Constitution." In addition to the annual guarantee, the fellowship provides that the student shall receive ten percent of the net profits that accrue as a result of his work, and also agrees to employ the worker in the glass corporation for three years after his fellowship work is done. All applications must be in by June 1, 1909.

JAYHAWKERS TOOK BUT ONE FIRST.
Tigers Were in Good Condition and Sprung Surprises on Hayerman.
Kansas 22% and Missouri 62% was the final outcome of the annual indoor clash between the Jayhawker and Tiger track teams in Convention hall, Kansas City, last night. Just as the Missouri dopesters predicted, the blithe young men from the land of the Jayhawk were on the small side of the score card from the first.
Luck did not break even in lsst night's meet but the best team undoubtedly won. The Jayhawkers were in every event from the start to the finish except the two-mile, which Steele, the wonderful runner from the Tigerland, not only won but in doing so he clipped almost half a minute off the Missouri-Kansas record, running the distance in 9:48 2-5.
In the fifty yard dash Douglas beat Haddock by a foot; Herzog beat Newbold in the low hurdles by a few inches; the shot put was won by Roberts of Missouri, who did only 37 feet and 5 inches, in other words 5 inches short of what Stephenson did against Baker—luck was against Kansas in these events.
An unfortunate accident occurred in the mile race, Cooley spiked Cleland of Missouri who fell losing about eight yards by the fall. The Missourian finished the race but was unable to catch the Jayhawker runners. Cooley was disqualified, giving Cleland second place.
Interspersed with the events of the dual meet were several invitation races. High school teams, Y.M.C.A. and picked teams made up the list of athletes.
Fifty-yard dash — Douglas, Missouri, won; Haddock, Kansas, second. Time: .05 3-5.
High jump—Bowling and Herzog, Missouri, and Smith, Kansas, tied for first place. Distance 5 feet 5 inches.
One mile run—Clark, Kansas, won; Cleland, Missouri, second; (Cooley disqualified). Time 4:41 3-5.
Fifty-five-yard high hurdles—Herzog and Bowling, Missouri ran a "dead heat," giving Missouri eight points. Time :07 2-5.
440-yard dash—Douglas, Missouri, won; Haddock, Kansas, second. Time: 54 3-5.
Shot put—Roberts, Missouri won, 37 feet 5 inches; Wilder, Missouri, second, distance 36 feet 81-2 inches.
880-yard run-Tipton, Missouri, won; Burgess, Kansas,

HELD MEETING
CHANCELLOR SPOKE TO MEN YESTERDAY MORNING.
Sentiment in Favor of Student Council Strong—Committee to be Appointed.
After the Chancellor's address, several students spoke upon the general sentiment in regard to the movement. Prof. W. J. Baumgartner, who has had much experience with student council work at Chicago University, explained in brief the workings of such a body.
Chancellor Strong addressed a large meeting of University men yesterday morning after chapel upon the needs of a student council. He mentioned a few problems connected with University life that could and should be regulated by the students themselves through their own organization. In his opinion it is absolutely necessary to have something of this sort to bring the students closer together and thus create a stronger college spirit. The Chancellor advocates a Student Union, a building where the students can assemble to chat and read and have a general good time. But this building can't be obtained from the legislature until it sees the necessity of such a building. If the student council gets behind this movement, it can get what it asks for.
A motion was unanimously carried that the Chancellor appoint a committee to make preliminary arrangements for a council, a report to be made within three weeks. This committee will be appointed the first of next week.
PLAYERS FOR FARCE CHOSEN
The names of those successful in the Junior farce tryout held Wednesday night were announced by John Power, chairman of the farce committee, today. The juniors who will take part in the farce are Fern Cramer, Helen Graham, Lenore Carson, Elizabeth Yeater, Martha Bartels, Lillian Kirchoff, Gail Sutton, Isabel Barton, Edna Hopkins, Winifred Van Vliet, Margaret Fort, Jennie Purdy, Alberta Cresswell, Hazel Allison, Fred Fairchild, Don Yoeman, William Ollis, Clay Shinn, Herbert Cowan, Murphy Hissem, Roy Dietrich, Fred Tuthill, Edward Schauffler, Nat Berry, Carl Eddy, Edgar Ford, Rollin Perkins, Milton Cain, Homer Connelly, Harold Harlan and Arthur Seddon.
The farce this year will be a two act musical comedy. The committee has been working hard on the play for some time.
MASQUE PLAY MONDAY NIGHT
SECOND PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR.
"In the Bishop's Carriage" with "Madam Butterfly" as a Curtain Raiser.
The Masque Club will make its second appearance this year in the modern four act comedy drama, "In the Bishop's Carriage," at Bowersock's Opera House, Monday and Tuesday nights of next week.
This is the twelfth regular performance of the Masque club and it will have an additional attraction in the shape of "Madam Butterfly" as a curtain raiser. This artistic little sketch is the work of David Belasco, and is a remarkable reproduction of Japanese pathos and emotion. A special feature of "Madam Butterfly" is the acting of a child, little Amy Irene Radcliffe.
The dramatization of the main play is based on the book by Miriam Michelson and is chiefly the work of Channing Pollock, one of the foremost American dramatic critics. The plot of the play centers about Lombroso's theory that criminals are not necessarily all bad, but that there is one cell in the brain thus diseased. This cell can be made normal by applying strong moral influences, and thus the criminal tendencies can be overcome.
The cast is composed of seventeen people, all exceptionally well fitted to their parts. The costumes have been secured from Kansas City, and one set of scenery from Omaha,
"KING" COLE RETAINED.
Nebraska to Keep Her Greatest Football Coach.
Coach "King" Cole of Nebraska, who was an applicant for the position of manager of athletics at Michigan University, failed to land the place and yesterday he accepted his old positon as football mentor at Nebraska. Cole trained the Cornhuskers for the past two seasons and has developed great football machines.
According to reports from Lincoln the aim of Cole will be to defeat Kansas on Nov. 6 next. He will point his team for that game.
Missey Casey, Nancy Fisher, Ola Jackson and Maybeth Parker have issued invitations for a matinee dance in I. O. O. F. hall April 3.

Dr. van Eeden of Holland to be Here.—Vanden Broek Tells of Him.
J. A. Van den Broek, a sophomore in the Engineering School is a native of Holland and is well acquainted with Dr. F. van Eeden the famous author and psychologist who will begin a series of five lecture at the University next Thursday April I. Mr. Von den Broek spent a week in the home of the great man near Amsterdam when visiting in Holland last summer.
After being graduated from Amsterdam University in medicine Dr. F. van Eeden went to Paris with the idea of continuing special work in that line. Here he became interested in psycho-theuropy and when he returned to Holland established a clinic in Amsterdam. He made a great success of his venture as he was the first man to introduce hypnotism into Holland. He has now withdrawn from the practice of medicine for though still interested in it he wishes to give more time to literary and sociological studies.
Dr. van Eeden became the leader of a new school of literature in Holland by publishing his book "The Quest" in 1880. This work is so highly regarded in Holland that it is studied in the high schools much as Shakespeare is studied in America. He is the author of many other books both literary and scientific. Most of them have been translated into German and two of them into English.
Dr. F. van Eeden is a pronounced socialist and has contributed much money to communistic enterprises to help the laboring men. He is however in no way an agitator and takes an active share in the events of the day only when he can be of practical help to his people. By successful mediation between striking railroad men and their employers he has secured the warm friendship of the men and the thorough respect of the employers.
At Vespers Tomorrow.
Dean J. P. de Bevers Kaye of Grace cathedral at Topeka will speak at Vespers Sunday. The special music will consist of Chopin compositions to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the great master's birth. The program is: Piano prelude, Prof. Preyer; Trio, Violin, Organ and Piano, Misses Dunn and Cook and Prof. Preyer; Nocturne, Chopin, Arranged by Prof. Preyer; Anthem, Sweet Breath Lyres Above, Shelley, Chopin.

A GREAT FIELD FOR A STUDENT COUNCIL.
The outlook for a student council is brighter than it has ever been before, because now for the first time the University is working together with the men of the student body to bring about its organization.
But with all this it will take careful handling of the matter to bring about success. The new movement's greatest danger of failure will lie in any effort the students may make to have specific powers delegated to the council from the beginning, before it is known where the council's greatest field of usefulness will lie.
It is especially important that at the outset no authority be asked for for the council which the faculty can not grant, thereby starting trouble at the very beginning. The new council will have its hands full for the rest of this year at least if it devotes its whole attention to devising means whereby the men of the University can be assembled together at frequent intervals with a view to getting them in the habit of doing their loafing and visiting all together once in a while instead of dividing into little cliques and crowds as they always have done.
That is a field in which the new council would not conflict with any authority already established, and where it could do a service for the students which must be rendered before a student council will be in position to represent the students to the best advantage.
Last night for the third time in as many years Coach Hagerman led his track athletes against Missouri, and for the third time his band met defeat. Coming to the University when small interest was taken in track and when the track team was only a name Hagerman by hard and persistent work has been able to develop fair squads and has laid the foundation for a great future in track athletics.
Handicapped as he has been by the fact that nearly all his men came to the University without previous training, Hagerman has worked against odds and obtained results. At the expiration of this school year there will be a vacancy in the position of track coach, for Hagerman has resigned and will take up his work in California. The athletic board and the department of physical training can make no greater mistake than to fail to obtain the services of a good coach to take Hagerman's place and put the athletics of the cinder path and the field on a plane with the influence and importance of the University in all other lines of endeavor. A coach should be obtained who can be in Lawrence during the entire school year so that the athletes may work out from the day that school commences. There is a good man not far away, an experienced and successful coach in track and basketball who would come to Kansas with proper inducements. A start should made at once to land a man to carry on the work Hagerman has started.

Will Still Be Opportunities When You Get Out, Says Dr. Henson.
Dr. P. S. Henson, of Boston, entertained and instructed a large audience in chapel Friday morning with an address on the importance of taking more time for laying the foundation for life's superstructure. He rebuked the tendency of young people to get the false notion that all the great opportunities will be gone before they get a chance at them. Looking back through the 77 years of his life he sees many marvelous things have been accomplished in the world in that time but yet more startling advances are ahead of the younger generation. He urged his hearers to be loftily ambitious at the same time that they took plenty of time to accomplish their ends. The things of the greatest worth are the things of slowest growth.
New Verein Ruling.
The officers of the German Verein wish to call the attention of the members to the ruling made two weeks ago whereby any member who is absent from three successive meetings without being excused by the president or other officer of the Verein shall forfeit his membership. New members will be admitted on the recommendation of the faculty of the German department and election by the members of the Verein.

The Beautiful New Portrait in the Moffett Display.
Everyone who has been on Massachusetts street today has noticed the beautiful new photographs now shown in the display at the foot of the stairway leading to the Moffett studio, at 829 Massachusetts street. The work is so good and so different that everyone stops to examine it and comment in regard to it.
Among the photographs shown are pictures of Chancellor Strong, Dean Templin, and little Dinsmoor Wood. They are of large size and have what is known as "artists light" one side of the face shading off into shadow.
In these pictures there is nothing to detract from the face and if the eyes leave the face for a moment they are involuntarily drawn to it again. This is the kind of work that has made the Moffett studio of Chicago known from the Atlantic to the Pacific as one of the best studios in the United States. It is this class of work that brought to the Chicago studio statesmen from Washington, New York and other eastern cities to have their photographs made.
The moffett studio is giving Lawrence a superior quality of work and it will not be long until it will have a reputation equal to its name-sake in Chicago. Of course this will not come at once, but the character of the Moffett pictures is such that one cannot help but think nice about them and already the studio is drawing trade from other cities.-Lawrence World.

NO GERMAN BAND
ROYAL DRESDEN PLAYERS NOT IN MAY FESTIVAL.
Minneapolis Orchestra to Play Instead—No Chorus Will Appear This Year.
A change in the arrangements for the May music festival was made necessary by the fact that the Royal Dresden orchestra, which was to have given two concerts, asked to be released from its contract as it has no other dates west of the Mississippi. Accordingly a Minneapolis, Minn., orchestra has been secnred to give the concerts.
The program has been varied somewhat from that followed in former years. The first concert will be given by soloists, some of whom have appeared in music festivals here before with the Chicago Symphony orchestra. On the second day of the festival two concerts will be given by the orchestra. There will be no chorus this year. This feature has been made one of the chief features of former festivals.
The Royal Dredsen orchestra, with which arrangements were made last fall to appear in the festival, advertised itself as the great orchestra which was directed by Wagner and other great musicians. It was learned later, however, that the present Royal Dredsen orchestra has no connection with the one with which Wagner was connected, having been organized some fourteen years after the former one had disbanded.

A CUP TO BEST KICKER
THE KANSAN WILL REWARD PUNTING ABILITY.
Twenty - Six Men Are Out for Spring Practice—Signal Work Tonight.
The Kansan board yesterday morning decided to offer an appropriate loving cup to the member of the spring football squad who develops into the best all around kicker. Accuracy proficiency and consistency are to be considered in the contest. The new men as well as the old will be eligible to win the cup, the only qualification being that the winner must have eligible grades last term and must be passing a sufficient number of hours this term to make him eligible for the team next fall.
The contest will be divided into four sections; puncting, place kicking, drop kicking and onside kicking. A committee consisting of Dr. Naismith, Coach Kennedy and a representative of The Kansan is now developing the rules governing the contest and they will be published in a week.
The contest will take place on McCook soon after the end of spring practice. The judges for the contest will be Dr. Naismith, Coach Kennedy, and Carl Rouse.
The loving cup that The Kansan will present to the best kicker will be a personal reward and will be retained by the winner.
The spring practice began on McCook yesterday afternoon and will continue for a period of two weeks. Last night there were twenty-six men in suits and the men practiced punting, running down kicks, and tackling. Tonight there will be more men out and signal practice will be started. Before the week is over Coach Kennedy expects to begin scrimmage work.
TELEGRAMS
CONCERNING THE BREAKING OF COPYRIGHT LAWS.
Masque Club and Kansan the Recipients—Dramatic Clubs Fined For Bill Posting.
Telegrams were received by The Kansan and Miss Gertrude Mossler today from Leibler and Company, and the National Theatrical Company of New York, stating that the presentation of "In the Bishop's Carriage" by the Masque club violated the copy-right law. Nevertheless the club intends to give the performance tonight as advertised.
The manager of the Masque club, Roy K. Deitrich, immediately sent a telegram to Leibler and Company, offering to rectify any mistake that had been made, stating that an inquiry had been made of the manuscript company from which the play was purchased and that that company had given the club every assurance that no royalties were demanded from ameteur producers.
Miss Mossler, who had charge of the direction of the play, in an interview with a Kansan reporter, said that she considered the club as having been perfectly justified in putting the play on under the circumstances; that she herself wrote to the manuscript company and considered their judgement substantial when they informed her that there would be no difficulty arising from the presentation of the play without paying a royalty.
From the information obtainable the fault of the error if there has been one lays with the manuscript company and not with the Masque Club.
The manager of the Thespian dramatic club, Thomas Lee, and Roy K. Dietrich, who is manager of the Masque Club, were called up in police court this morning to answer to a charge of violating the city ordinance concerning the posting of bills. Both plead guilty and were fined $6.50 each.
POLICE COURT PROCEEDINGS
MADE GOOD IN TWOPLAYS
MASQUE CLUB'S DOUBLE BILL WELL LIKED.
Pathos and Comedy Well Played, and Voice of the Prompter not Once Heard.
In the presentation of "In the Bishop's Carriage" with "Madam Buttrfly" as a curtain raiser, at the Bowersock opera house last night, the Masque gained high honors. Both plays glided to completion without a hitch of any sort. The performers were letter-perfect in their parts, and barring a slight stiffness in the interpretation of some of the characters, the plays as given last night would have been a credit to professionals.
Miss Dorothea McKnight as Nance Olden, the girl thief about whom the action centers in "In the Bishop's Crariaage," carried her part especially well and showed a steady improvement in dramatic ability over her former appearances. Harold Armsby, as the happily inebriated, stage-fancying Philadelphia millionaire, handled a difficult comedy part in a way that added much to the success of the play.
In the pathetic little opening sketch Miss Grace Waugh took the part of Madam Butterfly and readily adapted herself to the requirements of her role.
Both plays were prepared in a short time, and that they went so smoothly is a compliment to the careful training which made this result possible.
Change in Football Rules.
Next year there will be several changes in the football rules. The only change of any importance is in the goal kicking from the field. Next year a field goal will count only three points instead of four, so that two field goals will be equal to a touchdown and goal. This means that a premium will be put on touchdowns and upon team work.
MANY SCHOOLS
ENTERED IN INTER-SCHOLASTIC MEET ON MAY 1.
New Trophies for Athletes-Invitation Meet on May 22.
The sixth annual interscholastic track and field games will be held under the auspices of the University, Saturday, May 1, on McCook field. This is an annual affair held each year on the first Saturday in May. So far over twice as many high schools as entered the meet last year have signified their intention to enter track teams this year.
In connection with the track and field games there will be held the second annual tennis tournament for all the high schools of the Missouri Valley. This is to begin on Friday, April 30, and continue over into Saturday, May 1.
This year the University has added five additional sets of trophies to the list. Instead of having only one half-mile and only one mile run, there will be two in each, dividing all the entries for this event. This makes two additional sets of trophies. Also three more quarter mile runs have been added, classifying the entries according to the school's ranking of entrance to the University. Here three more sets of trophies are offered.
In preparation for this meet many improvements have been made on McCook Field. The track is now being given a cinder covering. When completed it will be equal to any in the West. A new straight away of sufficient length to accomodate the running of the high hurdles with ease is also being made. In addition to all this, the whole grounds are being leveled and a new sand pit for the high jump and pole vault is to be provided.
On May 22 the University will hold an invitation meet for all the accredited high schools of the Missouri Valley.

The sporting writer for the Kansas City Journal in commenting upon the Convention Hall meet branded Cooley's accidental spiking of Cleland as questionable sportsmanship, insituated that it was intentional and stated that Cooley had spiked two Tiger runners on previous occasions. The fact is that Cleiand stumbled on the pole and fell directly in Cooley's path and the spiking was accidental and unavoidable. Cooley would be the last athlete in the country to intentionally trip or spike a rival runner, he won the mile in Convention Hall and he should have the credit for it. In all his years on the track Cooley had not previously been disqualified for spiking.
Last night some persons probably students, wrecked the Masque Club picture on the campus and would have stolen the photographs had they not been frightened away. Even at the University there are thieves, rascals and other forms of irresponsible existence. There are always some students, who, on account of lack of training in their youth or from a conceived willfulness, disdain the conventions of society. Such persons are more deserving of pity than of condemnation, but they should not be allowed to roam around unhampered to prey upon an unsuspecting society.
The scores of people at the play last night who were showered with beans, confetti, paper boxes and wadded programs in a continual downpour from the gallery will no doubt look with favor upon the creation of a student council which shall make some effort to eliminate the activity of the "roughneck" and the hoodlum at undergraduate public entertainments.
The Kansan's offer of an appriate trophy to the best all around kicker on the football team should have some effect in developing a star man. Many a time a team is raised above
mediocrity by a stellar performer in the kicking department. Next years Jayhawkers must have all departments of the game cared for.

Mr. J. H. Canfield.
Notice was received at the University today of the death of Mr. J. H. Canfield, librarian of Columbia University. He was professor in history and economic science in the University of Kansas from 1877 to 1891. Until 1889 he taught all the history and economics that was offered here and in the meantime was a professor in American history. In 1891 he accepted the chancellorship of the University of Nebraska. Later he became president of the University of Ohio. Professor Canfield was a graduate of Williams College. "He was a man of genial nature," said Professor Blackmar in speaking of him, "bubbling over with perpetual enthusiasm and a great lover of his friends who numbered thousands in the state of Kansas. He was especially loyal to the teachers of the state and at one time president of the State Teachers' Association, subsequently of the National Teachers' Association."
Spoke at Vesper Services.
Dean J. P. de Bevers Kaye of Topeka, spoke at vespers Sunday afternoon on the text, "In quietness and confidence shall be thy strength." He advised students to recognize this truth instead of yielding to the temptation to be always at the center of things. "Out of life's silences have appeared the greatest men and women of the world," said Dean Kaye. The greatest may not be spectacular but it will be true. It depends upon the preparedness for life's crises which come to all lives.

Attempt to Steal Pictures.
As R. C. Shuey was going east from the Chemistry building last night about twelve o'clock, he heard a crash near the tree on which the picture of the Masque Club has been hanging, and, looking over in that direction, saw two men whom he thinks were University students, leaving the picture in great haste. Mr. Shuey says they would have carried off the picture had they not seen him approaching, but the students, apparently thinking him the night watchman, dropped the picture which crashed to pieces.
Professor Dalton in Chapel.
Prof. B. J. Dalton spoke ir chapel this morning on the requirements for successful work for a railroad system. He referred to the vast importance of the railroads in which one-eighth of the wealth of the nation is invested and which with the associated industries furnish support for perhaps one-fourth of the people in this country.
He urged the engineering students to complete the University course because railroad employers are requiring a completed technical knowledge to an increasing extent. Professor Dalton mentioned prominent railroad men to show that though but comparatively few men had well paid positions in the engineering department the training which had been secured fitted them for other responsible and lucrative positions. Sterling integrity and sound judgment are needed for all men in the transportation service.
Ball Game on McCook.

Sturtevant with readings on the Danish authors, Holberg and Oelenschlagen. The officers of the club are: President, Amy Green; secretary and treasurer, Arthur Swanson.
