FIRST BASKET-BALL GAME WITH NEBRASKA.
The Nebraska squad this season is an unknown quantity, as Captain Perry is the only man on the team who played last year. If reports are to be believed, however the Nebraskans will give the varsity the hardest kind of a tussle
Coach Hamilton has been working two teams through the entire training season and says there is very little choice between them. One full team is made up of men who won their letters on the Missouri Valley champion team last year. That team took away the conference honors with but five series of plays; this year the team has eighty.
The auditorium has been arranged to accommodate 1,200 people, six hundred in the gallery and six hundred on the floor below, for which an extra fifteen cents will be asked of the ticket holders.
On Friday night the basketball season will open in Robinson gymnasium, when Nebraska will tangle with Coach Hamilton's men in the first of the Missouri Valley games. The same teams will play again Saturday night.
Coach Hamilton Will Not Pick Team Before Games—Curtain Raiser Saturday Night.
Dr. Crumbine's First Lecture.
As a curtain raiser to the big game Saturday night, the Freshmen will play the Halstead high school team, which is being coached by Ben Young, who was captain of the varsity base ball team in '07.
Dr. Crumbine, secretary of the State Board of Health, recently appointed by the Regents as lecturer, will give his first lecture here Thursday morning at 10:15 on sanitary and applied chemistry. His subject will be "Pollution of Domestic Ground Water Supply."
The coach in accordance with his resolution, will not pick the men to start the game until the teams are on the floor Friday night.
Announement to Track Men.
Coach Hamilton announces that track work will begin at once. All mne who expect to try for the track team this year are requested to report regularly at 4:30. If it is impossible to be at the gym at that time, the coach will arrange to see them any time after 2:30. The indoor cinder path will be finished tomorrow, giving the sprinters a track 130 feet long and ten feet wide to work upon. The pits for the jumps and shot put will be finished in the course of the week. The coach wishes especially that all men who wish to try for the pole vault or shot put report to him.
PROF. DUNCAN RETURNS.
Sojourn in Maine and Jamaica Restores Health.
Professor Robert K. Duncan has returned from his Eastern trip, to the Maine woods, where he went to regain his health. He says that although he did not get any deer or big game, he did get an appetite and is now restored to health.
Professor Duncan left here about the middle of November to recover from a nervous breakdown. He stayed in Maine for three or four weeks. Before coming home he was summoned to go to Jamaica to investigate the possibility of growing the camphor tree on that island.
While in Jamaica he was on the 3,000-acre Malcom estate, where there are five-year-old trees, and he brought back one ton of maize be distributed among the professors of the chemistry department in this manner they expect to determine positively whether it is feasible to go up against the Jap anese camphor monopoly.
The Japanese are the only people producing camphor, and in the last year the price has advanced 5 cents per pound.
THEY WANT TO FLY.
Fort Scott Students Plan to Launch Aeroplane.
Paul and Harry Elliott and Gilbert R. Smith, all of Fort Scott, but now enrolled in the University, have studied aviation with a view toward building a lying machine, and for the past three months have been quietly constructing one, with the result that now the frame work is entirely finished and all that remains to be done is to install the engine. This is giving them some trouble, for an engine that develops 30 horse power and yet does not weigh much over 100 pounds, is hard to obtain.
The monoplane is modeled after the Bleriot and the Santos Dumont machines. Its wings measure twenty feet from tip to tip, and are six feet wide. It has a seven-foot, two-blade propellor, and from the tip of the tail to the propeller measures twenty-three feet. The frame works of the planes is composed of spruce wood, over which is stretched the canvas. It has 150 square feet of lifting surface.
Some time soon the acrop plane will be tested, towed behind an automobile, and later when the proper adjustments have been made, will be tested under it own power.
"We think our machine will fly," said Harry Elliott, today. "In a short time we will test it and find out. We have nothing new in our machine. We have followed the successful inventors."
TUBERCULOSIS EXHIBIT SOON
IN SNOW HALL, JANUARY 15 TO 18
Dr. S. C. Emley, of University Has Had Charge of State Work for Past Six Months.
From January 15 to 18 Dr. S. C. Emley will display his tuberculosis exhibit in Snow hall.In the past six months the exhibit has been taken to thirty-one towns in Kansas and about 45,000 people have viewed the charts and specimens and heard the lectures delivered.
In all the towns Dr. Emley has visited he has delivered lectures to the citizens and has held symposiums with the local medical men. The lectures will be extended while the exhibit is at the University. Nearly all the departments of the University whose work is at all related to the public health will have a lectures in Snow hall. Medical authorities from Kansas and Kansas City will also be on hand. Dr. Emley will print the lectures and distribute them over the state.
A feature of the Snow hall exhibit will be the display of disease germs. Germs of tuberculosis, typhoid, scarlet fever, smallpox and all other common diseases will be shown under powerful microscopes.
Dr. Emley has been over the state with the tuberculosis exhibit for the past six months." I think that the health of the people of Kansas is better than ever before," he said. "They are becoming interested in disease prevention. The law against the public drinking cup is becoming less unpopular and the Kansas law has been copied already in several states."
Prof. W. C. Stevens, head of the department of botany, spoke in chapel this morning in regard to the work of Luther Burbank, the California botanical wizard. Though Mr. Burbank has accomplished many wonderful things with his experiments in cross-fertilization, said Professor Stevens, yet he has been embarrassed by exaggerations of his work.
Professor Stevens Told of Work of Luther Burbank.
AT CHAPEL TODAY.
Professor Stevens said that Burbank had created no new fruit but had simply produced his remarkable improvements by working along the regular laws of nature according to certain biological princeiples. Professor Stevens gave some details in regard to some of the results of Burbank's work which has attracted the most attention, such as the Japan quince, stoneless prune and spineless cactus.

DR. NAISMITH RETURNS.
Was in the East, Discussing Football Rules.
Doctor James Naismith returned last night from a trip to New York, where he attended a meeting of the Inter-collegiate Athletic Association of North America. Proposed changes in the football rules caused a hot discussion among the members of the association. The chief bone of contention was the forward pass and double line of scrimage. Prof. Williams of Minnesota ridiculed all the present talk concerning the abolishment of the game as hysteria and favored the retention of the modern game, while Chancellor Day of Syracuse and Prof. Sargent of Harvard attacked it vigorously. The Pennsylvania representative threatened to abolish the game in Pennsylvania next year unless the rules were radically changed.
The following questions were sent out to college authorities over the United States:
3. Do you want the game retained, but radically modified by the elimination of mass and other dangerous plays?
1. Do you favor substituting soccer, or English football for the Rugby game?
2. Are you satisfied with the rules as they stand at present, with a few minor changes?
Of the answers received seventeen favored question 1, five favored question 2, while fifty-seven favored question 3.
It was finally agreed to leave the whole question to the rules committee, which will meet next month.
Rice County Students Had Banquet and Basket-Ball.
AN ACTIVE VACATION.
During the Christmas vacation the members of the Rice County club were very busy entertaining prospective University students. The boys played basket-ball against the Cooper College team December 28, and on the following evening the University students gave their annual banquet. Prof. E. F. Engel of the department of German, gave the address and dedicated a song to the Rice County club.
The following officers were elected: President, Ben Jones; vice president, Nancy Fisher; secretary, Bertha Back; treasurer, Ansel Crawford, all of Lyons, as the annual banquet will be held there next vacation.
NO HOPE FOR INDIAN SCHOOL
UNLESS BUREAU INTENDS TO DISPOSE OF IT.
Congress Will Probably Instigate no Action—University Has Made Application.
The possibility that the national government would change its policies in regard to the control of the various non-reservation Indian schools in the country has again been brought forward in the metropolitan press, thus raising the question as to the possibility of the University of Kansas securing the use of the Haskell Institute buildings. H. B. Peairs, superintendent of Haskell Institute, who has been recently appointed supervisor of Indian schools, is quoted as favoring the plan of having the federal government offer the Indian school to the state and to the University of Kansas. The idea was that the Kansas legislature should make an appropriation whereby the state should have the funds available for making Haskell Institute into a distinctive trade school in connections with the University.
However it can be authoritatively stated that there is no real change from the previous situation. Nothing can or will be accomplished unless congress should take some action in regard to the non-reservation Indian schools of the country. Haskell Institute is second only to Carlisle among the nation's Indian schools. Congress probably will pass no legislation concerning them without careful consideration, and unless the bureau of Indian affairs should have definite plans for the disposal of the schools. Such plans have not been submitted and therefore no change in Haskell Institute is likely to occur any time soon.
The University of Kansas has no influence in regard to the policy controlling Haskell Institute, and can make no suggestions to those in authority. If the time should come that the government should change its relations with the non-reservation Indian schools, then the University would be vitally interested because of its proximity to Haskell Institute. Its authorities would be glad to consider arrangements whereby the equipment of the Indian school could be secured for the University. Looking to this end, the University, through its proper authorities two years ago made application for full consideration in the matter in case Haskell Institute should be discontinued.
Meeting Postponed.
The Student Council meeting which was postponed this afternoon, will take place tomorrow night.

TUESDAY, JAN. 4, 1910
Coach Kennedy is the sad-faced one these days. Just after he worked himself into a fierce anger against Missouri, Coach Roper is reported to have gone to Prineeton. All Kennedy's hope for evening up a few scores are threatened with disillusionment Cheer up, coach, thus has it been from childhood's hour.
Since Dr. Cook has been branded the monumental fakir of this or any other age, Professor Dyche will not ascend Mt. MeKinley to bring down the Cool records. All of the professor's practice on Mt. Oread is thus wasted on the desert (?) air.
Coach Yost has turned out a number of pretty good football teams, yet his has been but a mel ancholy career at best. He seems doomed to more unpleasant prises in regard to the personnel of his team than any other builder of gridiron machines.
ing rest and refreshment, after fattening up on mother's cooking and seeing old friends a home, how fine it is to get down to our studies again. Say, who threw that cabbage?
Here we go on the home stretch Let out a little more steam and get up a little more speed. Or have you already gone the limit?
The basket-ball, season opens this week. The days of sweet revenge are coming. Revenge or whom? Aw, go on.
Brobst-Mitchell.
Miss Myrtle Brobst, '09, and Will Mitchell of Oswega, Kan. were married on Wednesday, December 15, at the home of the bride, at Osborne, Kan. Mr Mitchell was for four years a student in the College and School of Law of the University, during which time the young people be came acquainted. They are now keeping house in Oswego, where Mr. Mitchell is employed by a real estate loan company, The Deming Investment Company.
Took Philippine Exam.
George McKown, from Russell county, a sophomore engineer took the civil service examination for assistant instructor in the Philippines, at Topeka, December 30 and 31.
GAME IS WORTH WHILE.
So Says Chancellor Strong in Colliers Weekly.
Chancellor Strong is one of the sixteen college presidents who are quoted in an article appearing in Colliers Weekly of December 18, entitled "Is Football Worth While?"
The Chancecoller replied: "I believe it to be of very great advantage to have wholesome sport for the college youth. On the whole in spite of its drawbacks I see no better sport for fall and early winter than football. I should, therefore, dislike to see it andandoned.
Caspar Whitney sent letters to the heads of the leading colleges and universities of the country, asking whether the student would be more benefited by an abandonment of the game, or by its retention and the elimination of the present features to which objections are taken.
"I shall name but two or three objections: one is the undue attention it is apt to receive from the students in general, so that i sometimes interferes with their main work; another is that football as an inter-collegiate sport is of advantage to a few men only; and, third, I should regard the chances of being injured as being now too great, although I speak with diffidence on this point and recognize that any strenuous sport carries a liability of injury."
Miss Sarah Morrison, of Kansas City, Mo., who has been attending Vassar college, has entered the freshman class in the College.
ON THE CINDER TRACK.
Track Men Will Be Working There Before Weed-End.
The 40-yard cinder path in the basement of the gymnasium will be completed before the week is out. Track Coach Hamilton is anxious to get his sprinters, shot putters, and pole-vaulters to work; but the handicap of working on wooden floors has held them back.
The new dirt-and-einder-covered space in the gymnasium removes this difficulty, however and the men will soon be able to practice their events under conditions almost the same as those of an out-door field.
The University directory of students, faculty,officers and employees was printed by the Alumni Association during the holidays and is now in the hands of the registrar for distribution Two thousand five hundred copies were printed and each student who desires one may secure it by calling at the registrar's office. The home address and class standing of each student is giver in addition to his Lawrence address and telephone number.
New Directories Are Out.
Prof. Carruth to Wisconsin.
ATTENDED CONVENTION.
Vice-Chancellor W. H. Carruth left Monday afternoon for Madison, Wis., to represent the University at the annual meeting of the Association of American Universities. This is the organization of twenty-two of the larger universities of higher grade in the United States, to which the University of Kansas was elected last year.
George Wall Phi Delta Phi Delegate at New York.
George Wall, a senior law, represented Green chapter at the Phi Delta Phi national convention, held in New York city, at the Hotel Imperial, on December 28 and 29, 1909. The fraternity was represented by delegates from each of the forty chapters in the United States.
The convention was the most successful one in the history of the fraternity. The delegate were entertained at a smoker or Tuesday evening, and at a banquet given by the 1,200 alumni of the city on Wednesday evening.
Steam Rotted One of Wood in Green Hall.
NEW CEMENT FLOOR
University workmen today finished laying a cement and concrete floor in Room 6, in the basement of Green hall. It replaces the regular wooden flooring which, with its supporting joists had rotted away until it had be come unsafe, due to escaping steam from the heating pipe which enter the building directly beneath this room.
A number of the classes which meet in Room 6, held no session yesterday, on account of the worl going on in the room.
Shawnee County Club.
All students from Shawnee county are urgently requested to meet at the residence of Prof. Humble, 1238 Rhode Island street, at 7:30 p. m., Wednesday evening, January 5th, for the purpose of organizing "The Shawnee County club."

>
COLD STOPS WORK ON THE CAR LINE.
Will Be March 1 Before Cars Run Across the Hill Top, Says the Manager.
The students who had fond hopes of riding up to the University on the street cars after the holidays, returned to find their dreams faded. And the manager of the Lawrence car line this morning sentenced the whole student body to walk up and down the hill all the rest of the winter.
"No street cars will run across the University campus before March 1," was the terse statement made by Superintendent Skinner. "This winter weather has tied us up, and we can do nothing until the ground thaws, which will probably be two months from now.
>
"Yes, we've got a grade built through Marvin grove," he said in answer to a question concerning the work already done, "but it is made of frozen dirt and will sink a couple of feet, or more, as soon as the warm weather comes, so we dare not lay any track on it till then."
3,000 SENIORS.
High Schools of Kansas Will Graduate Big Crowd.
During the holidays, the registrar's office completed a list of all the high school seniors in the state of Kansas. There are about 3,000 names on the list.Copies of the University catalog will be sent to all of these boys and girls as soon as the catalog is published.
Are Working on Catalog.
The University does the handsome thing by the smaller colleges of the state by sending them copies of the list. This saves the high schools the trouble of making a separate list for each college, and at the same time gives the colleges and equal chance with the University to secure the high school graduates as students.
Members of the faculty are working on the new catalog for the year 1909-10. It is expected that all the manuscript will be ready for the printer by February 1. The committee on catalog, of which Professor Olin is chairman, expects the departmental material to be handed to them by January 15.
Sam Forter, whose "educated toe" scored the Kansas victory over Missouri in 1907, visited yesterday at the Beta house. Mr. Forter is engaged at present in engineering work on a big irrig- tion project at Gooding, Idaho.
L. H. Mosser, a sophomore in the College, recently received a prize of $25 from the book company for which he worked last summer, for putting in the greatest number of hours in a certain length of time.
John L. Black, '08, who has been attending the University of Chicago this last fall, returned to Chicago Monday evening, after spending the holidays with his parents in the city.
Norman Gross, a former student in the School of Engineering, is quite sick at his home in Russell.
ATHLETES AWARDED.
Senior Football Men Were Giver Letters of Recognition.
Twenty-one white "V" necked jerseys have been received by the senior class committee and are being awarded to the members of the class who played in at least one full half of the inter-class games.
The jerseys were received from Spalding's and have the numerals "10," in blue on them.
"That reminds me," said a member of the freshman team in 1906, upon seeing one of the new jerseys, "that the athletic board gave twelve of our class permission to wear the "10" numeral at the end of the first year season. It seems to me that the class would have shown a little appreciation for our services had it expended a small portion of that $312.18 profit from last year's dances buying us a few numerals."
So saying, he bit his lip and departed.
WONDERFUL BAEKELITE.
Used for Everything, from Chewing Gum to Frictionless Bearings.
According to Frank Brock, baekelite, a new substance recently patented by Dr. Baekeland, is the coming material for almost everything. It makes better pipestems than amber, better billiard balls than ivory, better electric light insulators than porcelain. Ground with graphite, it makes frictionless bearings that need no oil. Shaped into convenient receptacles, it bids fair to replace the tin can in canning industries. Made into varnish, it gives wood a surface that is not affected by acids or boiling water. Incidentally, Mr. Ralph Srucey, who holds Parke-Davis & Co.'s fellowship, has made the discovery that backelite is an ideal antiseptic chewing gum.
BIG COUNTY BANQUET.
Mr. Brock talked to the Chemical club at the last meeting be fore the holidays.
Sumner County Club Entertained Sixty Guests December 23.
Members of the Sumner County club report that the pleasantest and most successful holiday banquet ever held by the club was held at Wellington December 23. The banquet was given at the home of Miss Zella Mitchell. Sixty guests were present, the number including the members of the club, many Sumner county alumni, and the graduating class of the Sumner county high school Merle Prunty, '09, was toastmaster. Roy Spear is president of the club.
The Debating Council will meet in Room 15, Fraser hall Tuesday evenings at 7 o'clock to discuss the acceptance of the question for debate submitted by Missouri The "Income Tax" question was proposed by the Tigers and in all probability Kansas will accept.

INVESTIGATING RECORDS.
Professor Higgins is chairman of a committee appointed by the State Bar association to investigate the charges against the criminal law procedure in this state.
Professor Higgins Making Study of Criminal Procedure.
Letters have been sent to every district judge and to every county attorney in the state asking their views of the law's delay, while every clerk of the district court has been asked to furnish the statistics of the cases filed and tried in his district.
To a Kansan reporter Professor or Higgins said: "The supreme court of Kansas has paid less attention to technical errors in criminal procedure than any other court in the country. However this must not be taken to mean that the present conditions cannot be improved, as the subject demands careful attention before any statement can be made.
"No reforms can be made except through a committee which has time and opportunity to investigate the conditions existing. A state school can make a great return to the state for the money expended in its support by aid ing an investigation into the criminal law of the state and by formulating such reforms as may be needed."
The University has acted in accord with these suggestions and has furnished Porfessor Higgins with facilities for gathering information and making investigations for the use of the State Bar committee.
German Sunday School Class.
This class will hold its first session for the year 1910 next Sunday, January 9th, at 12 o'clock, in the southeast basement room of the English M. E. church. This year the lessons will be found in the gospel according to St. Matthew and will deal with the life of Christ. German students are urged to attend JOHN A. HESS Teacher.

WORK BEGUN ON "YSBRAND"
REHEARSALS EVERY NIGHT THIS WEEK.
Will Be Given Jan. 14 and 15 Souvenir Edition of Play to Be Issued.
With the closing of the holiday season, work has begun in earnest on "Ysbrand," the Van Eeden play to be given by the University. The dates of the presentations have been set at January 14 and 15, at the Bowersock opera house. Rehearsals are being held every day this week, and next week will be held the dress rehearsals.
The music for the play is to be furnished by the University orchestra. Dean Skilton is arranging for some stringed instrument music which will be a special feature of each performance.
A special souvenir edition of the text of "Ysbrand" is being prepared by Prof. S. F. Whitcomb and Prof. F. N. Raymond from the manuscript translation made by a Connecticut woman, a friend of Dr. Van Eeden. This is being printed by the Lawrence Journal and will be ready by the end of this week.
CHECKED UP ACCOUNTS.
State Officials Found Money Matters in Good Shape.
The auditing of the accounts of Secretary and Purchasing Agent E. E. Brown, of the University, was accomplished by state officers during the vacation just closed. For some years it has been the custom of the Board of Regents to appoint a committee of its own members to audit accounts, but by reason of the great increase of business, it was necessary to give up this plan.
On Tuesday, December 28, State Auditor J. M. Nation and State Accountant J. C. Stafford, to together with two assistants from the latter's office, began an examination of the books of the business office of the University. This examination was in accordance with a request made by the Board of Regents, and it is expected that such a check-up will be made at least once each year. The work of verifying accounts and making a complete report of the receipts and disbursements required the time of the three representatives from the state accountant's office in addition to the assistance given by the University office, and was not completed until Monday of this week.
According to statements made the records were found to be in excellent condition and officers of the University were complimented on the methods used and system now in operation, and the accuracy of accounts.

RAN OUT OF COAL.
Buildings Closed Last Week by Fuel Shortage.
Several University buildings were closed for a couple of days last week on account of the lack of coal in the bins at the heating plant. Fraser hall was kept open however, and work in the University offices went on as usual.
The University now has enough coal for immediate use. Three earlovers have just been received from the state penitentiary, and unless something unforeseen arises, plenty will be shipped from time to time. Mr. E. E. Brown, the University purchas in agent, says he has little fear of a shortage.

THE FINAL SCORE WAS 32 TO 17.

Opening Basket-Ball Game of Missouri Valley Conference Goes to Hamilton's Men.
A
Last evening in the first intercollegiate basket-ball game of the season Captain Johnson's five defeated the Nebraska team by a 32 to 17 score.
Nebraska, contrary to dope, turned up with a team of five letter men, of whom three were regulars last year. Not only that but the squad is termed by the Daily Nebraskan as the best that ever represented Nebraska.
All this was of no avail against the men of Hamilton. The teamwork was good, their passing and dribbling excellent. Captain Johnson and Martindell especially acquitted themselves with honor, Johnson making fifteen of his team's points, while the dribbling and guarding of Martindell aided in raising the Jayhawker score and keeping down that of the opponents.
The work of Perry and Mitchell of Nebraska, who made all the Cornhusker points, was a feature. Captain Perry did excellent work in throwing free goals, making seven out of eight chances.
The first half was a walk-away for the home boys, the score at the end of the period being 17 to 4, all the Nebraska scores being made on free goals. In the second session the Nebraskans got together and gave Hamilton's men all they could attend to, the score for the half being K. U. 15, N. U. 13.
The same teams will play to night with the Freshman-Halstead game as a curtain raiser. Ben Young, '08, will be here with the Halstead team.

Riley County Banquet.
The Riley County club banqueted twenty-six of its high school students at Randolph on the evening of December 24, at the homeof Dr. O. E. Edgerton, of that city. The evening was spent in songs and games.
WAS IN THE SOUTH.
Professor Billings Visited in the Sunny Land During Vacation.
While visiting friends in Baton Rouge, during the holidays, Prof. F. H. Billings also acted as representative of the University at the semi-centennial celebration of the University of Louisiana, held in the city at that time. Besides speakers from the state, presidents of several of the universities of the North as well as the South delivered addresses. One of the speakers of special interest was P. T. Sherman, a son of Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman, who was the first president of the school which eventually became the University of Louisiana.
The site of the institution is of historic interest in several ways. Only about six feet underground may be found the remains of old fortifications built when the Spaniards controlled that territory. Since it has been in the possession of the United States many of the nation's prominent generals have been associated with it and in various ways. Zachary Taylor had his home there at one time.
Professor Billings also visited the site of the battle of New Orleans, a few miles south of that city. Near it is now located one of the largest sugar refineries in the country, and in a few years the city's business will probably extend to it..
AT CHAPEL YESTERDAY
A. C. Mitchell Talked of Students, University and State.
OTHER SIDE IS NOW GIVEN
Hon. A. C. Mitchell, '89, of Lawrence, formerly a regent and for many years an influential friend of the University, spoke in chapel Friday morning on the relation of the students and the University itself to the state of Kansas. The ing to benefit the individual, it as proper that the state should primary object of government be provide higher education for its citizens. The students who accept the privileges should appreciate the responsibilitiessss and realize that in a few years they must look after the interests of the state.
Mr. Mitchell, from his experience as a state legislator, explained that the life and work of the students in the school had more influence upon the average law maker than anything the chancellor or faculty might do.Hurged that the students should not only do their own work properly, but become acquainted with and encourage the freshmen each year. Mr. Mitchel referred to the favorable impression made by the student body when the legislature visited the University last winter. His closing thought was that the greatest product of Kansas is its young people.
Dr. E. H. S. Bailey is confined to his home with a severe attack of the grip.
REPORTER TELLS HOW HE GOT THE STORY.
Obtained From Three Sources at the Time Unquestioned—Misconstrued, Says Murray.
"I stand responsible for the article in last Tuesday's Kansas City Star that members of the athletic board have branded as untrue," said Paul Harvey today. "I got the story from three separate sources, and I did not question but that it was true in detail.
"I knew the contents of the resolution of the athletic board, and I also knew of the fiery speeches of certain members. I had no malice toward anyone, and I sent the story away because it appeared to be a good story and was live news. Several newspaper men have told me that they would have done the same thing under similar circumstances.
"To an ordinary observer the action of the board, together with the speeches in the board meeting and the talk prevalent on the hill looked extremely like censure. Some of the board members have declared there was no foundation for the story. I do not need to deny this, as nearly everyone knows there was some foundation for the story. Whatever mistake was made was unintentional and I received the story from three parties supposed to know all about the incident, and after having known the contents of the resolution."
Secretary E. W. Murray of the board said yesterday that the resolution adopted by the board was merely in the line of routine directions to Manager Lansdon, and not a word in it was censorious in tone. The resolution requested Manager Lansdon to submit all prospective schedules to the athletic board for approval, and while this was new in some respects it was not meant as censure.
The action of the board was generally construed as a means to prevent a game being scheduled with Chicago. There were many reports that Manager Lansdon would confer with the Chicago athletic officials during the holidays. The board was against such a game.
The Civil Engineering society held an interesting meeting last J. D. Darnell, a civil engineer of Kansas City, Mo., addressed the society on "Some Problems Confronting a Municipal Engineer." Thursday evening in Blake hall. The society will hold its next meeting Thursday evening, January 27.

The delegates to the Students' Volunteer convention, who remained over for the special Gospel team conference, conducted the First Congregational church of Brooklyn, N. Y., returned to Lawrence late Thursday evening. The special conference work preparing men for evangelistic work among the high schools of the state is to be carried out later in the year.
The party, consisting of H. C. Herman, Walter Mayer, Frank Ward, Howard Curl, John Langenwalted, and Lucien Magill, visited Niagara Falls on Tuesday, stopping at Chicago for a few hours Wednesday.
Reports of the convention will be made by the delegates to all thechureches of the city, Sunday, January 16. Plans are proposed for a joint meeting of the Y. M. and Y.W.C.A.in chapel at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of Sunday, January 16.
GRINNEL WANTS IN.
Would Be a Member of Missouri Valley Conference.
It is rumored in collegiate circles that Grinnell College seeks entrance to the Missouri Valley Athletic conference. Although it's enrollment does not exceed 225, it has set the pace for twenty years in Iowa in the number of championships won.
It is a question whether Grinnel would be fast enough for its big rivals in football, but in baseball, basket-ball and track, how ever, it could easily hold its own Grinnel has carried off the last eight basket-ball state titles, and last spring took the honors in baseball and track, besides winning the second annual Missouri Valley track meet, to which it was invited.
Dr. Wilber at Y. M. C. A.
Life as a race course was the thought discussed by Dr. F. A. Wilber in his talk at the Y. M. C. A. meeting Thursday evening. As a motto for the New Year, he suggested the Scripture text which, after referring to the cloud of witnesses urges the runner to lay aside the weights and sins in order that he might most successfully run the race. Dr. things right enough in themselves might interfere with a Christian's best life, even as extra clothing Wilber explained that many handleaps the runner.

NEW INSTRUMENT WILL ARRIVE NEXT WEEK.
A Customs Inspector Will Be Here to See the Earthquake Recorder Unpacked.
The new seismograph, an instrument to measure the vibrations of earthquakes, will arrive and be installed at the University next week. It is shipped from Germany and on account of the delicacy of the instrument it will not be inspected until it reaches the University. Mr. Krieger, a customs officer of Kansas City, will be present at the unpacking of the seismograph to inspect it.
Just where the instrument will be set up has not been definitely decided, but it will probably be in the basement of Fraser hall, where it will be placed on a pier of masonry.
SKIING THE LATEST.
The Winter Sport Has Been Introduced Here.
No, it wasn't Dr. Cook and his two Eskimo followers that you saw skiing on the golf links this morning. Nor was it Prof. L. L. Dyche preparing for his perilous ascent up Mt. MecKinley. It was simply E. Steele, a special in the Engineering School, and two Lawrence boys, Arthur Kirchofi and Frank Benedict. It may sound funny, but this sport was started in Lawrence by one of the town moving picture shows that Arthur and Frank attended. There they saw a picture entitled "Winter sport in Canada," and their curiosity was aroused to such an extent that they immediately sent away for two pairs of skis. Oh! how they did long for the snow to come, but the fates were against them and it was three season before they got a chance to use their skis. They have been practicing every day this winter and are now quite adept at the art. But it is not only in the youth that curiosity is aroused, for when Mr. Steel saw these boys jumping ditches and fences, he just couldn't resist the temptation to make a pair of these skis himself, and he is doing the same stunts. He says it is lots of fun.
Inter-Society Debate Tryout.
The tryout for the Adelphic Cooley debate on the Public Utilities question, will be held in the regular Adelphic room, at 4:30 Friday, January 14th. All members who are interested must hand their names to Walter Mayer sometime before noon, January 13th.

SATURDAY, JAN. 8, 1910.
About the only thing that has developed as a result of the story of the resolutions of the athletic board concerning the actions of the manager of athletics is the fact that a fight seems brewing. No one knows just what the fight is or exactly whom it concerns. Whom it will involve will not be known until something breaks. Under the present officials the athletic situation has always been pretty good. There have been things come up that were not to the interests of harmony, and not to the best interests of the school. We think that the board should consider any radical action at great length; and only make changes, if they think changes are necessary, with the good of the school in view and after mature deliberation.Fights are a poor thing at best, and whatever their outcome, they often do more harm than good.
The chemistry professors have issued an order prohibiting the general dispersal of stories from that department. The reason is that several stories have been so distorted and mixed up that they have lost all semblance of truth or fact. Some of the newspaper reporters have either carelessly or intentionally wandered away from the true facts in the case. This sort of business is humiliating to a chemistry teacher. He does not want his work misrepresented, and he can not be blamed
The twelve-day rest for the football team between the Nebraska and the Missouri games next fall looks good for Kansas—and bad for Missouri. Every little thing like that counts in a hard contest, and Kansas can no longer afford to give Missouri any advantage at the gridiron game.
Played Basket-Ball.
The members of the Ford county club organized a basket-ball team and played several games at Dodge City during the holidays. The scores were as follows: K. U 27, Dodge Tigers; 9; K. U 27, Dodge Tigers 4; K. U 26, Spearville, 6; and K. U 16, Larned 14. The members of the team were Spencer Baird, Lesslie English, Arthur Riney (capt), Harry Snyder and Roy Bainbridge.

ENROLLMENT REFUSED.

Registrar Geo. O. Foster refused admission to the young man, pending action by the Board of Regents. Mr. Royee said he would make another effort to get his son enrolled at the opening of the second term.

Editor Kansan;
Through the columns of the Kansan I wish to call the attention of the University authorities to the condition of the walks about the campus and also to those leading to the University. It seems that the cleaning of snow from the sidewalks is a custom unheard of in Lawrence. This, however, is no reason why the walks that lead to the University and those about the grounds should not at least be sanded.
Editor of Kansan:
Dear Editor—In behalf of the students of Kansas University I think it quite necessary for someone to state some plain facts concerning the heating of the buildings on the hill and especially the heating of Fraser hall.
Some of the rooms are thoroughly comfortable and no one would have any reason to "kick." were he able to stay in those rooms for all his classes. But perhaps the next room that he is obliged to go to is much overheated and close, making the student uncomfortably warm, even upon removing his wraps. Perhaps the next room that he enters will be cold, so cold in fact, that with his wraps on he is chilly and very apt to take cold.
The rooms at the south end of Fraser hall, the chapel and other rooms on the second and third floors are entirely too cold for the students and several severe colds have already been the result.
The basement of Green hall is usually quite cold, while that of Snow hall is quite overheated. STUDENT
STUDENT.
Editor Kansan :
Where is the college spirit that has heretofore played such a prominent part in the life of every loyal K. U. student? What has become of that splendid enthusiasm which has given our University such wide repute? Are we losing interest in the less serious side of college life?
In considering these questions,
let the student ask himself: "Is it the best thing for our institution, to let this enthusiassm die out?"
All student enterprises play an important part in the perfecting of student life, and without them our University would be greatly weakened, but they can only be made a success through the enthusiastic support of the students body, and it is this spirit of enthusiasm which is apparently lacking at present.
Even "Rock Chalk," which has aroused the envy and admiration of scores of other institutions of learning, lacks the vim that used to make it famous. Let us shake off this letherthy and put some zeal into our work and some volume into our voice. Let us carry more spirit into the Friday morning chapel exercises, and make them as lively and interesting as they used to be.
Let our songs and college yell resound as loudly as in other days when our faithful football team goes out to battle for the glory of K. S. U.. Let us be a loyal, wide-awake, energetic band and keep up the standard and reputation of this, one of the best schools of our country.

The book has two cuts, one of the author, Dr. Van Eeden, and one of the cast (not costumed), the director and the manager. This book was published to arouse the interest of the student body in the play and thus create a larger seat sale, as well as to give them a chance to read and understand the play before seeing it.
The play has a east of fourteen six of whom are girls and eight boys. There are four acts. Everyone who has seen the rehearsals of the play says there is no doubt that this play will be a success.
The text of the Lawrence edition of the play was edited by Prof. S. L. Whitcomb and Prof. Fred N. Raymond. Professor Whitcomb has written the following prefatory note which will appear in the booklet.
For the past ten years or more, many American readers have been familiar with the name of Van Eeden. They have known that he was one of the most prominent living men of letters in Holland, and some of them have been aware that he was eminent as a pioneer in psycho-therapeutics and in various practical enterprises in the field of social reform. As a literary artist, Doctor Van Eeden has produced poems novels and dramas; but up to the present time few if any of his works have any considerable circulation in this country, in English translations.
In April, 1909, Doctor Van Eeden was a guest of the University of Kansas for about a week, giving a series of lectures, partly upon literary, partly upon social subjects. At that time or soon after arrangements were made with him for the production of "Ysbrand" by students of the University. In November of the same year he made a second brief visit to the University, for the express purpose of giving some personal directions to the committees in charge and to the members of the cast, regarding the performance of the play.
During this second visit, the distinguished author gave two public lectures at the University; one upon social problems, and one upon his theory of the drama in general, and the meaning of "Ysbrand." In the latter lecture, Doctor Van Eeden declared that the function of drama was essentially religious, criticising somewhat the American public for its preference for mere amusement in the theater and its dislike for facing there the deeper problems, the less agreeable phases of human experience. The character of the hero, "Ysbrand" he interpreted as that of a gifted, very sensitive, but by no means insane man,goaded to extremes by contact with average men and women who mean well, but are incapable of "understanding." In the author's view, the play is religious in this very simple sense: It presents a
human problem which is insoluble by any secular method; which suggests, at least, recourse to a belief in immortality, or in a God whose ways are beyond the comprehension of unaided reason.
It may be of interest to note that Doctor Van Eeden came to Lawrence, on this second visit, from an inspection of his communistic colony for Dutch immigrants, in North Carolina; and that the next number of a crowded program called for attention to the staging of some of his play; on the continent of Europe.
The text of "Ysbrand," which follows, is from a translation by a New England woman, very slightly revised by the author Doctor Van Eeden gave his ready permission to have the play printed, in connection with the first production of it in English. The committee in charge have corrected some obvious errors in the typewritten copy, and have made some other slight changes for one reason or another deemed advisable. Having had no access to either translator or original version, they assume no responsibilities beyond those implied in this statement.

COLD WEATHER EATS UP COAL

But There Is no Danger of Shortage if State Mine Runs Smootly.
60 TONS REQUIRED TO START SCHOOL MONDAY.
The University administrative department is having a busy life this cold weather, trying to keep enough coal at the heating plant to maintain sufficient heat in the buildings. A continuous line of wagons has been winding up the hill all week with the supply that feeds the furnaces.
An immense amount of coal has been used this week. Sixty tons were burned Monday alone, to heat the buildings sufficiently to hold classes in them. The average consumption this week has been well over forty tons a day. The addition of new buildings to the University plant together with the unusually cold weather has made the amount of coal used much greater than it has ever been before.
Every means possible is being used to economize fuel. For this reason, no vesper services will be held at the University tomorrow. With all that can be done, however, the surplus on hand does not exceed enough for three days use.
E. E. Brown, purchasing agent, said yesterday that there was no danger of a famine unless some accident should happen at the state mine, from which the supply comes.

DEATH OF F. M. HOAD.
Francis M. Hoad, brother of Prof. W. C. Hoad, of the School of Engineering, died at the home of his parents, in Lecompton, Wednesday afternoon of tuberculosis of the lungs. Prof. Hoad was in attendance at the funeral, which took place yesterday afternoon from the family home.
Brother of Prof. Hoad Succumbs to Tuberculosis.
Frank Hoad was a student at the University from 1898 until 1902, and took his bachelor's degree in the College with the class of the latter date. In 1903 he did post graduate work in engineering, and was elected to Sigma Xi as a recognition of his superior work in the sciences.
After leaving the University Mr. Hoad took up structural steel work, and was for a time with the American Bridge Co., then with the Pennsylvania Steel Co., and, for the past four years, until his health failed, was in the employ of Supp Bros, Bridge and Iron Co., of St. Louis.
He was forced to give up his work some months ago, and went to the farm home near Lecompton, where he succumbed to an attack of pleurisy, which came upon him but a day or two before his death.
Dean F. O. Marvin was well acquainted with Hoad as a student, spoke feelingly of the young man's death. "Frank was an especially bright student," he said, "and had a most promising career before him. He undoubtedly would have become a bridge enginer of renown, had not the terrible disease seized him."

BETA SPRING PARTY.
THEY DID NOT ACT.
Formal Function in F. A. A. Hall Nothing Done on the Holmes Last Night. Stadium Proposal.
The annual spring party of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity was held last evening in Fraternal Aid hall. Kelly's orchestra of Kansas City furnished the music. The hall was decorated with green foliage. The grand march was led by Cyrus J. Leland and Miss Ruth Ewing. A three-course luncheon was served during intermission. The Imperial Trio, a musical organization from Kansas City, furnished music during the refreshments. About one hundred and twenty-five couples were present.
Missouri in Search of a New Coach for the Tigers.
The out-of-town guests were: Grace Hutchinson, Edith Wornell, Mable Hayes, Bruce Porter, Helen Parker, Gladys Trigg, Otto Trigg, Dan Anderson, Dave Robinson, Bob Anderson, Tom Murphy, John Clugston, and Elmer Sigler, Kansas City; Gladys Riggs, Luther Thomas, Emporia; Ruth Ewing, El Dorado; Reina Baldwin, Manhattan; Orlin Weed, Atchison; Ben Vincent, Clay Center; Billy Miller, Topeka; and Miss Thompson, Lincoln, Nebraska.
ROPER TO PRINCETON.
W. W. Roper will not coach the University of Missouri football team next year, having accepted the offer of Princeton to take entire charge of the athletic management of that university. Roper's failure to return leaves the Tigers in a bad hole. They have held back for him until they have lost their chance of getting Tad Jones, who will go to the Ohio State. The sentiment is in favor of having another Princeton man for the Tiger coach this year in order that the methods in produced by Roper be continued. Phil King, W. C. Booth, and Ralph Brown are all Princeton men, and it is probable that one of them will be chosen.
Opening Concert a Success.
The opening concert by the Lawrence branch of the American Musical society last Thursday evening at the Unitarian church, was one of the most successful concerts ever given in Lawrence. Many students were present to hear Professor Carl A. Preyer's first public rendition of his new sonota, in F. minor. The Lawrence society is composed of the faculty of the Fine Arts school. Any students who wish may become members by paying the membership fee.
To Have Borax Fellowship.
Bert C. Frichot, B. S., of the chemical department, has been nominated to be holder of the Pacific Coast Borax company's fellowship, known as fellowsship No. 11. The recommendation is made by Prof. E. H. S. Bailey and Prof. Robert K. Duncan.
Sigma Nu Party.
The Sigma Nu fraternity gave an informal party at Ecke's hall last night. A small number of their friends from the other fraternities were invited, about thirty couples being present. Shanty's orchestra furnished the music.
At the last meeting of the athletic board the proposition presented by Walton Holmes of Kansas City, for the building of a stadium, was considered at length. Mr. Holmes was present with his counsel, Jay Richardson, '07. The board, though they looked on Mr. Holmes' plan with decided favor, decided to postpone any action until the other parties interested present their side of the question. The alumni association of Kansas City is interested in the stadium, and it was the sense of the board that they be allowed time to develop and present any plan they saw fit before the board took definite action.
It is rumored that a party in Kansas City, whose name must for the present remain secret, has a tract of land favorably situated in the city on which he wishes to construct the stadium. This field would be somewhat larger than that proposed under Holmes' plan. It has an extent 600 by 400 feet. This gentleman wishes only a contract with the two universities assuring the game on his field for a specified time. He is then willing to construct the stadium wholly at his own expense.
It is said that the Missouri officials have accepted Mr. Holmes' proposition and are only waiting for Kansas to come in to close the contract.
EXCHANGE NEWS.
President Woodrow Wilson delivered a lecture at Princeton, in which he deplored the way in which the athletic gladiators of our universities are put on a pedestal and laurel-crowned. He declares that the school boy preparing for college is given the idea that proficiency in athletics will give him the greatest distinction. The Philadelphia Ledger says, "If Doctor Wilson can suggest a practical remedy for this evil, he will have done another real service to the cause of education in America."
EBRIGHT TO COACH AGAIN
Will Be Mentor for Base Ball Team Again This Spring.
A. M. Ebright, who coached the University baseball team last spring will be invited to coach the 1910 team, according to a resolution passed by the athletic board yesterday. Mr. Ebright is at present enrolled in the School of Law. He has had much experience as a coach and as a player. He coached the Baker team one year Missouri University two and did much with a new bunch of men here last spring. This summer he managed and coached the Beloit team of the Central Kansas League. He is very popular with the players.

Was This a Vacation?
If a vacation means a period of idleness, Chancellor Frank Strong, of the University of Kansas, can hardly be said to have had it during the recent holidays. December 21, he spoke at the dedication of the new high school building at Salina; the next day he was present at the meeting of the State Board of Education at Topeka; the following day he devoted to the Conference of the Kansas College Presidents. He then had left one day in which to prepare for Christmas. The following Monday, he started for Wyoming to attend the meeting of the State Teachers' association at Rawlins. He delivered three addresses at the three principal sessions of the Wyoming Teachers' Association; the first was on, "The West;" the second on, "Some Aspects of the Present Age;" and the third, "The Teaching Profession, Some of its Trials and Rewards." Chancellor Strong reached Lawrence in time to lead the regular Monday morning chapel services at the University when the students assembled after their vacation.
Working Together for Kansas.
Fortunately for the educational interests of Kansas, the day of cooperation between the various colleges and the University has arrived. This fact was strongly emphasized at the conference of Kansas College presidents, held in Topeka, December 23. Those who participated in the conference were the representatives of accredited colleges and those of

the University. The best of feeling prevailed at the meeting, and the watchword was co-operation Steps were taken towards the equalization of standards, in order that there may be no loss of time or credit when a student passes from one institution to another, and in order that the highest grade of efficiency may be maintained in the educational system as a whole.

WILL PLAY AGAIN MONDAY NIGHT.
Cayon's Five Are an Unknown Quantity—The Locals Have a Sick List.
Tonight Captain Johnson's basket ball five will tangle in Robinson gymnasium with a quintet, under the tutilage of Coach Cayou from Washington University. The same teams will play again Monday night.
The outcome of the game is very doubtful, for the Jayhawker team is badly crippled and it is probable that the line-up at the start will contain some of the new men. Woodard has a very bad knee and Heeizer is in poor condition. If these men are unable o start their places will be filled by Larson and Smith.
The visitors' strength is unknown, though their showing against Missouri has not shown their expected strength.
The danger lies in the fact that the Indian Coronado, who plays at center for the Pikeway team, is the star of the team, and should Heizer be out of the game. a new man wil have to hold him down.
TENNIS MEN MET.
Three Old Men Back and Much Other Material in School.
At a meeting of the tennis men Wednesday, Dolf Watson was chosen captain for the coming season. Howard Bigelow was elected manager. Three men who won their letters last year, Watson, Bigelow and Wood, are in school again this year and thre is much other good material from which to pick the team. It is intended to match games with Nebraska, Oklahoma, Missouri, St. Marys, and possibly the University of Texas.
Last year the University tennis team was the best in the West. They defeated all the schools above in handy fashion. In the singles of the Missouri match Watson defeated Ristine, who was inter-collegiate champion of the middle west.
The squad thus far consists of the following men: Watson, Bigelow, Leland, Purton, Wood, Lobaugh, and Seddon. All men who wish to try out will hand their names to one of these men. As soon as possible indoor practice will be held in the gym.
A New Frat.
Seven men at the University who have done professional journalistic work, have been granted a charter by Sigma Delta Chi. the only journaliste fraternity in the United States. Sigma Delta Chi was founded last year at Depaw university and the chapter to be installed here is the second fraternity. There will be no social life connected with the organization, its purpose being purely professional.
The charter members are, Joe Murray, Ralph Hemenway, Orville Markham, Earl Fisher, Homer Berger, Ed. Shauffler and Paul Harvey.
PROF. BATES TALKED.
Told Good Government Club of Commission System.
At a meeting of the Good Government club last Thursday night, Professor F. G. Bates spoke on the commission form of city government. He did not take any definite stand on the matter himself, but simply gave the arguments as they are advanced by both sides.
He said that one of the biggest benefits that has been derived from the commission form is the fact that it has succeeded in working up the interest of the ordinary man making him realize that the government of his city is a part of his own business. He also said that the people who advocate this new form of city government claim that it is more economical than the older form.
"There are many forms of commission government," said the professor, "but the essential features in them are all, firstly, a small number of elected officers, secondly, the concentration of power and responsibility, and thirdly the election of officers on a general ticket not by wards.
BE A SEEKER OF TRUTH.
That Was the Advice of Rabbi Liknaitz in Chapel.
Rabbi David L. Liknaitz of Leavenworth, spoke in chapel Friday morning concerning the essentials of a truth seeker, to which class he considered all true students to belong. He named the absence of prejudice as of first importance. Some of the world's greatest men have not been altogether free from prejudice and the schools of a few centuries ago were very largely to support certain theories rather than to aid the seeking of truth.
Associated with prejudice is often found an intellectual dishonesty manifested by people who hate to be disillusioned. Rabbi Liknaitz also spoke of the over-zealous truth seeker who over-emphasized his own point of view and thus failed to become the truly liberal student.
He closed by speaking of the need of University trained men, who are really seekers after truth and emphasizing the possibilities of this institution in preparing men for usefulness to Kansas.
Twenty-Three First Year Men Given Numerals.
FRESHMEN AWARDED.
Thursday noon the freshman class held a meeting and voted to give sweaters to the members of 1913 foot ball team.

This committee met Thursday with Mr. Coleman and the following men were selected: Beezly, Collins, Corbin, Davis, Dickey, Gossard, Freyong, Higgins, Holloway, Kirshner, Moore, Newton, Plank, Rambo, Rhodes, Roberts, Snyder, Thornbrow, Tudor, Utterbach, Wetmore, Welch and Young.
"YSBRAND"A SUCCESS
DUTCH PLAY WAS WELL RECEIVED LAST NIGHT.
Pleased the Audiences, but Misti- fied Them-Will Be Repeated Tonight.
The first American performance of Dr. Van Elen's play, "Ysbrand," which was given at the Bowersock opera house last night by a University cast, achieved a greater success than its most sanguine friends had hoped for it.
Not in recent years has a University play taken such a strong hold upon the audience as did "Ysbrand." The audience, perhaps mainly curious at first, was swept into complete sympathy before the curtain had gone down on the first act.
The action of the play centers around the strange figure of Ysbrand De Ralf. The failure of others to understand the character of this insurtable person is its theme. Outside the character, the thoughts, and the actions of Ysbrand, there is nothing of mystery in the play. The motives and the characters of the other persons are as open books. The audience, doubtless by design of the playwright, is as much puzzled in regard to Ysbrand's real nature as are the other characters in the play, though somewhat more sympathetic toward him. The speeches of Ysbrand are full of beauty, but their meaning is hard to grasp.. The fall of the curtain on the last act leaves the spectator wondering whether the machinery of society has worked properly to confine a dangerous lunatic, or whether a sane and harmless man has been shut away from God's open sky, for which he so piteously pleads.
Harry Kemp, in the role of Ysbrand, acquitted himself especially well, not only in representing the heights and depths of feeling which Ysbrand experienced, but in preserving throughout the play the dignity of the character. There were all sorts of possibilities for a decent into the ridiculous in interpreting that part, but of the ridiculous there was no suggestion in Mr. Kemp's representation.
The character which, next to Ysbrand, was most difficult to represent, was that of the widow, Mrs. Hardendop, which was taken by Miss Grace Waugh. Her loquacity and bustling energy gave life and energy to the play. She had the longest speches, and the most of them, of any of the characters, yet she handled the difficult part with the naturalness and ease to which University audiences which have seen her play are accustomed.
NUMBER 43
There were come comely features in the play. The clash between the widow and the snobbish, citified Mrs. Belmont van Hees, when each is trying to get the bequest that has been left to Ysbrand, the pomposousness of the notary,the silly talk of the lovers, the bewildermenent of the burgomaster, light up with mild humor the generally sember atmosphere
of the play. Miss Patti Hiatt as Lize, the child who befriended Ysbrand, and Murle Springer, as the impassive professor of mental phenomena who condemns Ysbrand in the last act, add strength to the scenes in which they appear.
The two months of hard work which Miss Gertrude Mossler has put in on the play, interpreting the various parts and drilling the actors, was evident last night. The play ran smoothly from start to finish. The actors not only knew their lines, but knew how to pat character into their parts.

THE COAL STORY.
Fuel Supply for Next Week is Uncertain.
Owing to warmer weather which prevailed a part of the week, the University burned less coal this week than last. The total amount to 180 tons, some sixty tons less than were consumed last week. The amount received from the prison mine this week was 252 tons, so there will be about two days' supply on hand Monday morning.
Work at the University was badly hampered Thursday. The supply of coal in the University bins ran so low that the power plant had to be closed down, and all the available fuel used in heating the buildings. The University printing office had no power to run its typesetting machine, and hence it was impossible to issue a Kansan Thursday evening.
The outlook for a fuel supply next week is uncertain. The prison mine will be able to supply all that is needed, but the condition of the river on account of the ice gorges threatens traffic on the Santa Fe railroad. Danger that the bridge at Lawrence may go out makes shipments over the Union Pacific uncertain.
DRAMATIC CLUBSLIMITED
CHANCELOR STRONG OP-POSES SO MANY PLAYS.
No Out of Town Entertainments Will Occur Without Special Permission.
Four dramatic entertainments by the two existing clubs during each school year is a thing of the past at theUniversity of Kansas. Many people have felt that the present system of two plays each year by both dramatic clubs was a mistake, and Chancellor Strong has now taken action against it.
Yesterday he sent to the managers of the two dramatic clubs a letter directing that for the mutual protection of the dramatic clubs and the University, there be but one entertainment given by each of the organizations during any academic year. One of the entertainments is to be given in the fall term and one in the spring term. The ruling takes effect at once, thereby cutting out any spring performance for the present year. It is suggested that the clubs cast lots for the first year to determine which shall have the fall and which the spring date, and that they alternate thereafter.
The Chancellor also instructs that no entertainments be given outside of Lawrence by the dramatic organizations, either under their own name or any other, except on express permission, granted in each case by the University Council.
How Will It Help Cheer Leader Spend His Money?
COUNCIL IS PUZZLED.
At a meeting of the Student Council, which was held in Fraser hall, Tuesday night at 7:15, some important business was talked over. Ralph Spotts desired the Council to make some use of the $30 which he has as cheer leader. It is probable that a part of this will be used to print constitutions of the Students' Council for free distribution. The Council would like suggestions as to the use of the remainder.
There is a vacancy in the Council from the School of Pharmacy. The Council desires that this school nominate a man so that it can have representation.
Some of the papers and magazines in the library have been clipped to a great extent lately, in violation of a state law. The Council urged each one to see that this practice is stopped before any rigid ruling has to be made against it.
J. W. Bredenthal Dead.
This morning John W. Breidenthal, father of Maurice Breidenthal, a senior in the College, died at his home in Kansas City, Kan. Mr. Breidenthal was ex-state bank commissioned of Kansas and was a prominent Democratic politician. Death was caused by blood poisoning resultant from an injury to the foot.

For some time now we have not been able to enjoy placid slumber on account of vague but sinister thoughts of the demolition of the earth by the monster comet. We have even been afraid to peer heavenward lest we should see the great rover making this way. As it is now, however, when the comet heaves in sight of the naked eye next May we will be able to look it squarely in the face with the courage of one who knows not fear.
"Kansas looks good for the championship of the valley in basket-ball," is the word put out by all the wise ones. Now the wise ones are all good fellows, and they mean well, too, but we don't take much stock in them of late. Do you remember the stories they circulated before the recent, lamented calamity in the last days of the month of November? After this we will wait to see, and not form a conclusion in advance.
At this time of year the poor senior realizes how futile it is to continue battling with the odds that beset him. This realization comes when he hunts through the catalogue for the easy courses and discovers that he has taken them already. Sweet memories of the days of old alone keep him up under his new burden.

Wants Worn-Out Machinery.
Supt. F. E. Ward of Fowler shops is asking for worn-out and broken machinery of all kinds to be brought to the shops for the boys to repair. When the machinery has been put in good condition again the owner may have it by paying the expenses of repairing. If the owner does not want the machinery it will be sold and the money will go to pay the cost of repairing.

BIDS WERE TOO HIGH
Plans for K. S. A.C. Gym Must Be Cut Down.
The contract to build the new $100,000 gymnasium at the State Agricultural College was not let this week, as had been intended, as the bids were all too high for the plans and specifications drawn by State Architect Chandler. The letting of the contract attracted a large number of contractors from all parts of the state. The highest bid was $128,000 and the lowest was $95,000, but the latter did not include the plumbing and heating which will be an expensive feature of the gym as there are to be two swimming pools. The appropriation made by the Legislature last winter was $100,000 and the contract will have to be within this limit. Mr. Chandler will make the changes necessary to make the bids lower and the final contract will be let on February 7.
No Chemictl Club.
There was no Chemical club meeting Wednesday afternoon. The meeting was postponed till next week to let the chemicals hear Dr. M. A. Barber's lecture on the "Tubercle Bacillus." Next week Henry Kohman, who holds the National Master Bakers' Association fellowship, will talk on "Salt-Rising Bread."

GIRLSWOULDSTOPALL CHEATING IN QUIZZES.
Will Start a Petition—Signers Will Agree Not to Give or Receive Help.
"Honesty" is now the war cry of the women's student government association.
In anticipation of the coming quiz week, a movement has been started and is being energetically pushed to get before the girls of the University the matter of cheating, and to ask them to take a definite stand against the practice. The question has been informally discussed in the council, and a committee appointed to draw up a resolution which will cover all forms of dishonesty in college work. Judith Connelly, one of the district chairmen, proposed the following resolution:
"Whereas, we, the undersigned, discountenance all forms of dishonesty in college work and wishing to see the honor system established in the University of Kansas, we do hereby pledge ourselves, neither to give nor to receive help in examinations, quizzes, tests or exercises, written or oral, or reports of any kind given by instructors to form an estimate of the character and quality of the students' work for the term."
The idea is for each district chairman to discuss the matter with the girls of the districts, and then call upon them for their individual signature to the resolution. It will then be taken up before the regular mass meeting and acted upon.
"It will probably meet with more opposition than the 10:30 rule," said Alma Manley, a member of the resolution committee. "The faculty is with us in the movement. They agree that the honor system would be an excellent thing for the Uni sity and certainly worth work ing for."

At the basket-ball game last Saturday night, the "gallery gods" assembled early before the door of the gymnasium, as is their wont. Janitor Dave Miller was 47 seconds late, however, in unlocking the building, so the gods, in order to relieve their outraged feelings, rushed the doorway. Result : the treasurer of the University pays out $3.00 for a new door glass. The aperture is boarded up at present, awaiting the glazier.

DISCUSSED FARM PAPERS.
Topeka Man Told Important Branch of Publishing Business.
E. W. Rankin, the advertising manager of the Arthur Capper papers, at Topeka, spoke to the newspaper class Wednesday morning on "Farm Papers." He mentioned among important farm papers, "The Farm Journal," of Philadelphia, which has a circulation of 700,000. The advertising columns of this paper are filled three months ahead of the issue and the two owners are supposed to clear $150,000 a year. He also told about the Orange Judd Publishing Co., of Springfield, Mass., which is the largest publishing house of strictly farm papers in the world. "Wallace's Farmer," of Des Moines, Iowa, has a circulation of 113,000 a year.
In speaking of the growing importance of the farm papers as a medium for advertisers, Mr. Rankin stated that in a single issue of one of Capper's papers, "The Missouri Valley Farmer," more advertisements were carried than in 31 issues of the Topeka Daily Capital. Many of the highest class of advertisers, such as "The Waltham Watch Co.," "Automobile Companies," and "The National Cloak and Suit Co.," of New York, use the columns of the farm publications.
The Capper establishment at Topeka employs 550 men, pays $15,000 a year for postage,spends $75,000 a year on advertising, and employs besides many high class solicitors in some of the large cities of the country.
Chemical Society Meeting at Kansas City Tonight.
Mr. Rankin learned the printing trade while in college, then studied the advertising business under Long & Strickland, one of the largest advertising agencies in the country. Afterwards he worked for a St. Paul publishing house, from which place he came to Topeka. In parting Mr. Rankin extended an invitation to the entire class to visit the Capper building at Topeka.
The January meeting of the Kansas City Section of the American Chemical Society will be at Kansas City, Mo., in the new Y. M. C. A. building, at Tenth and Oak streets, this evening. The meeting will be devoted to a discussion of the food laws from all points of view.

"EXTENSION THE SUBJECT
COLLEGE PRESIDENTS ARE SHOWING INTEREST.
Extension Work Discussed at Recent Meeting of Association of American Universities.
Does University extension pay? That was one of the chief questions under discussion at the meeting of the Association of American Universities which was held at Madison, Wis., last week, and from which Vice Chancellor W. H. Carruth recently returned. Three years ago, with a good deal of hesitation, the University of Wisconsin established a department of University extension under the direction of Professor Louis E. Reber, and it was Professor Reber who told the representatives of twenty-two leading American universities what he has accomplished since then.
There are at present over three thousand persons enrolled in the university extension and correspondence courses at Wisconsin, and $60,000 is spent annually in maintaining the courses. The department is growing rapidly and through it thousands of persons who would otherwise never have been able to obtain a college education have been brought in touch with the university.
The department of university extension established at the University this fall under the direction of Professor Richard E. Price has been modeled to a large extent after Wisconsin's extension department.
President Woodrow Wilson of Princeton also delivered a very interesting address on "The Right Relation of the College to the Professional School." President Wilson emphasized the desirability of obtaining a college education prior to studying in a professional school, whenever it was possible to do so. He believes that at least two years of college work should be taken before entering a professional school and is strongly opposed to an education which is wholly professional or technical.
"Professionalism in learning often has the same effect as professionalism in athletics," he declared. "In a college education however, one goes into it for the nobility of the game."
The meeting was closed by the delivery of a convocation address by President Lowell of Harvard, at which the student body of the University of Wisconsin was present.
Resigned Fellowship.
Miss Addie Jackson of the graduate school has resigned the fellowship in botany to accept the position as instructor in botany in the Kansas City, Kan., high school. This position was held until recently by W. A. Starin, '07, who resigned to accept the position of professor of bacteriology in the Oklahoma Agricultural college, at Stillwater Ok.
Meet a Week Earlier.
It is probable that the date of the first track meet will be advanced a week. It was arranged to meet Baker here February 21. As the coach will be on the trij with the basket-ball team at that time, it has been decided to ask Baker to change the date to February 14, in order that Hamilton may be able to oversee the performance of his men .

The einder track which was put in the gymnasium destroyed the handball courts in the basement. The place where they were is now used for the shot put, starting, etc.
Sir: I believe the University ought to have a public pillory. It seems to me it is very convenient.
About half the students at the State University were sick for two or three days last week, and it has become so much the habit at Lawrence to charge everything up to the dairymen, that there was a movement on foot to wreck some of the milkmen's pumps. Emporia Gazette.
To the Editor of the Kansan:
There is a class of students who use the library and when they enter or go out of the building these people never close the door. To me this seems to be the biggest crime a student can commit. I would far rather see a student enter the library and smite some fellow student on the head with a eudgel, than to see one who continually fails to close the door.
A student who smashes another on the head injures only one person. But what about the miscreant, too lazy to close the door who is often directly responsible for ten or twelve students catching colds; and colds are the pathway that leads to the river Styx.
It seems to me that it is time o rise up and correct this evil. So I suggest that a pillory be put in front of the library, in plain view of everyone, so that the vanal will undergo humiliation with his punishment.
Let us have the pillory.
BAD COL
CABINETS IN PLACE.
Carload of Geological Specimens to Be Placed on View.
The system of beautiful oak and plate glass specimen cases which the McAfee Cabinet Co., of Clay Center, Kan., has been instaling during the past two months in the Geology and Mining building, was completed this week.
The new cases, designed by Professor Haworth, head of the department of geology and mining engineering, are much like book cases, except that they are larger and have tops to allow the light from the high windows to flood down upon the white, terrace-like shelves. They are five feet high, and occupy the entire wall space of the geological museums—the two, large, first-floor rooms of the building.
THE CLOTHES QUESTION COMES UP AGAIN.
About a car load of geological specimens, some of them very valuable, have accumulated at the University during the past thirty years or so; but they have been heaped around in boxes, drawers, and dark corners, and have never been properly sorted out and displayed. This disorder has been a source of worry to the University geologists for years, and proper provision for the large collection of minerals and rocks was one of the first things considered when the plans for the new building were draughted.
"The cases are beauties and satisfy a long-felt need," remarked Professor Haworth, this morning, "but we are worried 'most to death for fear we cannot complete the task of sorting the specimens and getting them into their new home in time for the dedication of the Geology and Mining building,which takes place on February 25. If it wasn't for that,we'd all be happy."

A PROFESSOR IN HONDURAS
WRITES OF LIFE IN CENTRAL AMERICA.
Former Member of University Faculty Making a Study of Spanish-Speaking Peoples.
The friends of Professor Alfred Schoch, who was assistant professor of French and Spanish at the University for several years, will be glad to hear of his successful work in the National Institute of Honduras, in Central America.
Professor Eugenia Galloo this week received a unique letter from Professor Shoeh, written in Spanish, telling of his work and of the native people of Tegueigalpa, the town where he lives. He also sent several interesting views of Honduras and a curious paper.on which was written his contract with the government for his position, signed by the secretary of the government and officially stamped. Evidently an appointment as professor in a Honduras institution is a matter of greatest importance.
Professor Shoch says that the National institute of Tegucigalpa has a normal department, which, is co-educational, and a School of Law and Medicine. Their five-year course leads to the degree of Bachelor, which is fully equal to the four years' course in our University. The regular school term begins January 1st and the final examinations are taken in November.
"The Institute," he writes "is located near the government palace. The climate is magnificent and never variees more than the months of May and June in Kansas. The people are goodnatured and hospitable and their kindness and attentions toward me make me forget the many comforts that I am deprived of in this far-off little town."
Professor Shoch received his appointment to this National Institute, two years ago. He has always been deeply interested in the Spanish speaking people and accepted the appointment in order to study more carefully the different classes of Spanish speaking people. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan and received his doctor's degree from Cornell.
A CHAPEL OF THEIR OWN.

SCHOOLS NOT TO BLAME.
College-Trained Journalists Not the Worst, Says Colliers.
The Topeka Capital recently contained an article on newspaper writing which stated that "there is more painful reporting to the square inch in Kansas than anywhere else in the world," and discussed the reasons for so much bad writing. In the Capital's opinion, it is due in large measure to "the influx of college journalists into the business of newspaper making." The Capital says the college journalist takes his job "equipped with a large vocabulary and nothing else, and he hands the readers of his paper the only thing he has in stock."
Colliers Weekly takes exception to the Capital's views. It says :
"We cannot concede that college training exaggerates the human tendency toward excess of language. Where English composition is taught in college, the influence is unmistakably in the other direction—away from rhetoric and toward purity and exactness."
Owing to the overflow of the water plant and the probable contamination of the water furnished by the city it is recommended that only boiled water be used for drinking purposes until after the flood has subsided and the water system has been cleaned.

No Vespers Tomorrow.
On account of the shortage of the coal supply at the University, it will be impossible to hold the regular vesper services at the University tomorrow afternoon.
WILL TELL OF MARS.
Professor Lowell Will Give His Theories of That Planet.
Is Mars inhabited? This is a question which has furnished material for discussion by astronomers and scientists for a number of years besides being an inexhaustible source of material for the writer of fantastic fiction and the cartoonist. Next month, on the 14th and -15th, Professor Percival Lowell of Flagstaff, Arizona, a noted astronomer and the first man to believe that our nearest neighbor in the solar system was inhabited by human beings, will be in Lawrence and will deliver two lectures at the University.
Professor Lowell believes that Mars is inhabited by human beings, moreover of a degree of intelligence high enough to be capable of building canals, alongside of which the Panamal canal would look like an irrigating ditch.
.
There has been considerable discussion lately as to whether it would be possible for human beings to exist in the atmosphere of Mars, which is very thin. Professor Lowell believes, however, that there is enough water vapor in the atmosphere of that planet to support the existence of organic life.
Professor Lowell has devoted his entire life to the study of astronomy and has spent a large part of his fortune in erecting an observatory at Flagstaff and in buying astronomical apparatus for it. He is a brother of President Lowell of Harvard. His lectures will be given with a view to interesting the entire student body as well as those particularly interested in astronomy.
The work of Prof. L. L. Dyche as state fish and game warden, was heartily endorsed by the stock breeders of Kansas at their recent convention in Topeka. The following resolution was passed :

Sophomores Think That the Elec tive System Is Unkind.
ARE NOT SATISFIED.
"Gee! that's a long line; I've just waited hours," said a sophomore girl yesterday, who sat on a table in Snow hall, dangling her feet as she waited for her turn at getting an O. K. on her card. Almost a roomfull of sophomores were taking turns at pleading with their advisors in order to secure a strictly elective course which appealed to them. Most of them were heard to remark, as they left, "This course doesn't suit me at all."
A Case of Diphtheria.
Geo. F. Beezeley, a junior in the Law School from Girard, Kan., was taken siek Sunday morning at the Pi Upsilon house. Dr. Chambers was called immediately and removed the patient to the hospital for fear that something infectious might develop. His throat was in a bad condition.

Graduate Club Meeting.
A SUCCESSFUL MEETING.
January Session of Chemical Society Was at Kansas City.
The January meeting of the Kansas City section of the American Chemical Society was held in the new Y. M. C. A. building, at Kansas City, Mo., Saturday. The evening was devoted to the discussion of the food laws from all standpoints. Mr. Rudolph Hirsel and others spoke for the jobbers Professor Jackson and Dr. Crumbine represented the state. Mr. A. V. H. Mory, head of the United States food and drug inspection laboratory at Kansas City, presented the federal department's views. Dr. Walter M. Cross, city chemist of Kansas City, Mo., took the city's side. The meeting was a very successful one and well attended.
According to the custom, the February meeting should be held in Lawrence. It has, however, been decided to hold it in Kansas City. Mr. Curtis, head of the U. S. assay laboratory in Kansas City, and formerly city chemist of New York, will talk on his work, and Dr. Cross will describe a system he has discovered for disposing of city sewage at a large profit. The meeting should be one of considerable interest to all chemical and mining engineers, and it is planned to arrange a trip through the city and government laboratories for all of them who wish to go.
NUMBER 44
CONSULTED WITH HUNTER
Wyandotte County Fruit Growers Visit University Professor.
Gerald Holsinger of Rosedale, Marshall Chandler of Argentine, and George H. Johnson of Kansas City, Mo.,prominent fruit growers and nursery men of Wyandotte county, were in Lawrence Friday afternoon by appointment, to consult with Prof. S. J. Hunter about horticultural conditions in their communities.
Mr. Holsinger was a student in the University of Kansas about 1888, after which he took the course in the naval academy at Anapolis, Md. In the latter line of activity he made several trips around the world, but is now engaged in the fruit business in Wyandotte county.
The finance committee of the University Y. M. C. A. held a "feed" at Vic's Friday evening. Under the leadership of Ralph Cole, chairman of the committee, and J. F. Gilliland, treasurer of the association, the men discussed financial plans for the year. There were nineteen commiteeem present.
Faculty Ladies' Tea.
The ladies of the faculty will give a tea Thursday afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock in the classical museum. All young women students and wives of students are cordially invited.
Financiers Had a Feed.
THE RESERVES TOOK SECOND
PIKEWAY LADS NO MATCH FOR HAMILTON'S PETS.
First Game Was 46 to 7 and the Last One Was 34 to 13.
Last night's basket-ball game was a tame affair in spite of the fact that not a regular of the Varsity squad was sent in by Coach Hamilton. The score was 34 to 13 in favor of Hamilton's reserves.
Though the game was not much as basket ball it was amusing from the spectator's point of view. As the dramatic critic would say, it furnished many amusing situations. The men on both teams spent almost as much time sitting on the floor as they did standing on it. The boxing exhibitions were classy and had Dr. Naismith's coming boxing champs witnessed the bouts they would have obtained some useful points.
Credit must be given the locals, however, as they did nobly for their first appearance. Van der Vries accepted his chances for goals well and the guarding of Larson kept down the visitors' score.
The Washington team was greatly weakened by the absence of Etlinger, their big center.
To say that the game Saturday evening was a farce would be putting it mildly indeed. The Pikeway boys were in a class by themselves and that class was just thirty-nine points lower than that of Hamilton's Huskies. The final count was 46 to 7.
In one department, however, they excelled. Their ability to roll the ball about the floor was far above the standard of the locals. It is rumored in places of authority that by mistake the crack five-man bowling team of Washington University was sent here instead of the basket-ball five.
Dr. Charles M. Sheldon of the First Congregational church at Topcka, will be at the University next week, spending five days here. During the time he will lecture daily to the students, before the religious organizations of the school and will also speak in chapel.
Sheldon Here Next Week.
The feature of the game was the sprinting of Mr. H. Ashley, referee, who, though matched against such men as Johnson and Martindell, showed unexpected form considering his lack of training. He was tiring fast when Dick Waring, timekeeper, stopped the game.
Fred Wulfekuhler and Edward Fritsche of Leavenworth visited at the Phi Gam house Saturday and Sunday.
THE WEATHER.
Fair tonight and Wednesday; moderate temperature.
OKLAHOMA TEAM CHOSEN.
Griffin and Erdman Will Go Against Sooners.
At the final try-out last week for places on the Oklahoma debating team, W. L. Griffin, junior college, and W. A. Erdman, senior college, were chosen to represent this institution against the Sooners. Streeter Blair was chosen alternate. The question for this debate is the postal savings banks and, as in the Colorado debate, Kansas has the negative of this proposition.
According to the system of awards announced some time ago by the Debating council, Mr. Griffin will receive $25 and Mr. Erdman an Imperial dictionary.
FOR DAIRY INSPECTION.
Physiology Classes Will Observe Conditions at Haskell
The classes in physiology will go to Haskell Thursday to inspect and examine the Haskell dairy, which is considered to be the best and most sanitary in the state. The purpose of the trip is to get material for papers on the best way to care for milk and how to protect it from disease germs.
The classes have been doing some excellent practical work. During the term they have had a course of fifteen lectures on the various modern problems of health. They have inspected the plans for ventilation and water supply in several different high schools of the state and have written papers in which the good points have been set forth and corrections for the defects have been suggested.
Is a Successful Speaker.
Dr. Sudler Elected President.
Arthur Brisbane, the editor of the New York Journal, who will speak in chapel tomorrow morning, has the reputation of being a forcible and entertaining public speaker. He has had considerable experience in political campaigns in New York. On one occasion he is said to have made a speech before a hostile gathering of capitalists whom he had been fighting in the Journal, and to have been greeted with hearty applause at the close of his talk, whether he succeeded in bringing his hearers to his point of view or not.
At the last meeting of the Douglas County Medical society, Dr. M.T. Sudler, dean of the Medical School, was elected president, and Drs. Chambers and Smith, also connected with the Medical School, were elected to the positions of secretary and treasurer respectively. This society is solely for scientific purposes and meets every month in Lawrence.
FOUR WANT THE PLACE
WOULD COACH JAYHAWK-ERS NEXT YEAR.
Herrnstein, Shulz, Wasmond, and Levine, All Want to Replace Kennedy.
According to information given out this morning by members of the athletic board, there are four men at present desirous of replacing Bert Kennedy next fall as Jayhawker football coach. As yet no definite action has been taken by the board with regard to selecting a mentor for the Kansas squad next season, but from present indications there seems to be little doubt but that Kennedy will be the man.
Kennedy has done much good work with the team during the past several years and together with Mosse has proved almost invaluable to Kansas University athleties. Nothwithstanding this handleap, the four others are still waiting for the decision.
The question of salary may arise with the hiring of Kennedy. Both he and Mosse have been receiving salaries which do not compare with those given to coach-in institutions of similar standing to Kansas. Kennedy has been receiving $1,200 and Mosse $800 per season. Both men would appreciate a raise and there is some talk that one may be granted. Kennedy at the same time says that he will either coach Kansas during the coming season or will give up the game.
The four other men who are looking forward with anxious faces toward the Kansas mentorship are Herrnstein of Michigan and famous coach of the 1903 and 1904 Haskell team; Schulz, who was a member of the Michigan team four years, being captain in his last season and who has since assisted Coach Yost for a year; Wasmond, quarterback on the Michigan team last year; and Devine, an old Princeton man.

TUESDAY, JAN. 18, 1910.
The class parties this year have been poorly attended, and every one of the classes have lost money on the parties they have given. Some of them are in debt as a result. The students of the University go to parties just as much, even more than they ever did. But for some reason they do not largely attend class parties. Downtown "promoters" and students wishing to raise some spare change have been quite active in the party line this winter. Almost every week there is a party by down town people attended by University students. As a result the class parties are not money-making propositions. The students should remember that the money they spend for a party with a down town proprietor or a student speculator goes forever into their pockets. The students never get any further benefit from the money so spent. It does not help make a better Junior Prom., a better Sophomore, or a better senior class day. Money spent at class parties confers later benefits to the party goers. The financial existence of the classes depends upon the success of class parties. If the parties do not pay it only means that the class must lessen its activity or else assess the members of the class. An assessment forces the students to pay out again the money they have spent on parties,—because the money never found its way into the class coffers.
The production of "Ysbrand" last Friday and Saturday night, was a success from any point of view. The University did a great thing when it produced the Dutch play for the first time in the English language. The students of the University and the people of Lawrence appreciated the play and the problem that it involved. "Ysbrand" was not written for the purpose of entertaining audiences. Its object was to make people think. Such plays are not very often a success. People want entertainment. It speaks well for the students and townpeople that they could appreciate the play.
The Journalism conference tomorrow for the benefit of teachers in the modern schools of journalism only shows how fast the trend toward the universal establishment of schools for the training of newspaper men is progressing. In a few years schools
of journalism will be a part of the curricula of all universities.
A writer for the Kiek Column suggests the pillory for students who leave the library door open in cold weather. We wonder what punishment Old Blue Laws would suggest for those irresponsibles who wantonly and continually steal reference books?
Harry Kemp, bard, philosopher master tramp, boat hand, and dairyman, has now added another chapter to his book of achievement. It is now Harry Kemp, the psychical actor.
And to think that last season Washington was the most formidable opponent that Kansas had to meet.

Mr. Mulford was a student at the University year before last, and was a member of the Scoop club. The rooms at Yale occupied by Mr. Mulford and his roommate were robbed of several gold stickpins, three rings, several valuable shirt studs and $40 in money.

Professor Hubach Would Like a Large Vesper Chorus.
WANTS MORE SINGERS.
Prof. C. E. Hubach desires still more singers to join the vesper chorus. He finds that some people have the erroneous idea that a fee is required of the members of the chorus. He wishes to correct this idea and urges more of the students who sing to join the present numbers.
Professor Hubach plans to make the Sunday afternoon service increasingly pleasing to all who attend. He expects to have students and townspeople hear the best music. The chorus is now practicing on "The Crucifixion," by Stainer, which will be given at the next fall musical service.
LONG CHAPEL TOMORROW
Arthur Brisbane, Noted Journal ist of New York, Will Talk.
Mr. Arthur Brisbane, editor of the "New York American," is scheduled to talk in the chapel Wednesday morning. The long chapel of the week will thus come on Wednesday instead of Friday. Mr. Brisbane is the editorial writer for all the Hearst papers and is one of the highest salaried journalist in America.
C. L. Edson, in Kansas City Times: Generations have been working on these jokes. Here they are all together, the chain is complete at last: A dumb man picked up a hub and spoke. A blind carpenter reached for his plane and saw. A deaf sheepman went out with his dog and heard. A paralyzed man touched a hat made of cloth and felt. A man who had lost his sense of odor, caught some herring and smelt.
The Chain Is Completed.
Art Club Organized.
The Fine Arts of the studio organized on Wednesday an art club. The following officers were elected: President, Fern Edie; vice president, Gertrude Rowlands; secretary, Sadie Fisher; treasurer, Mary Myers; critic, Mrs. Umble. The first meeting was held today at the home of Josephine Barkdull.

PROF. HUMBLE—AUTHOR.
Article for Encyclopedia of Law
Elementary Law Taxt Book.
Professor Humble of the Law School, spent the greater portion of last summer's vacation in preparing for the American and English Encyclopedia of Law and Practice, an article on "Lis Alibi Pendens," or "Another Suit Pending." To do this it was necessary to examine about two thousand authorities, American, English, Canadian, Alaskan and Hawaiian. A portion of the work was done, of necessity, at the Harvard law library, which is the most exhaustive law library, dealing with the English common law. Professor Humble believes that he has done much to classify the law on this subject and that in no other published writing is the problem of lis alibi pendens properly analyzed, nor so exhaustively treated.
For example, no other published work deals at length with this doctrine as applied to English and British colonial courts.
He is now engaged in preparing a treatise on "Elementary Law," designed primarily to meet the needs of the students in his classes on this subject in the University. He hopes to have the volume for use next fall. Among the features of the work, the following may be mentioned: All treatises on this subject now on the market are either compilations of definitions, devoid of illustrations or, treaties on jurisprudence which assume that the reader is a highly trained specialist in the study of the law, and which use to a great extent, a vocabulary wholly different from that of the bench and bar, as well as a classification, scientific, it is true, but bearing little resemblance to the classification which must be used by him, 'who knows not the law but knows where to find it.' In this new treatise, the author hopes to deal with concepts rather than dry and meaningless definitions, which neither amus nor instruct; and to fill the volume with vivid illustrators which stick in the student's mind and can not be forgotten.
Moreover, he hopes to develop an idea advocated by him in an article in the American Law Review in 1908., namely, that there is a vital connection between economic, political and legal studies, that it is essential, for example. that the student of the law of bills and notes have some idea of the business of banking of the present day. To study the law of bills and notes with only the remotest idea about banks and banking is like the study of the human skeleton with an utter ignorance of muscles and blood vessels.
Now is the time to begin to consider that spring suit. Schultz, the tailor.

MET SCIENTISTS IN THE EAST
PROF. HUNTER READ PAPER ON ZOOLOGY.
Heard Praise of University of Kansas From Men Now in the East.
Prof. S. J. Hunter returned last week from his trip to Boston where he attended the meetings of the sixty-first annual gathering of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, which were held from December 27 to January 1. While there he also attended sessions of affiliated societies which met at the same time.
In regard to the national meeting of Sigma Xi, of which Prof. F.O.Marvin is president for a two-year term, Professor Hunter reports that Dean Marvin made a most excellent presiding officer and at the banquet a very happy toastmaster.
Section F of the Science association includes the zoologists and entomologists of the country. Professor Hunter read a paper at the meeting of this section of the association. The sessions of the association of State Entomologists were important because it was decided that the rapidly increasing business to be considered each year required a reorganization of the association. Professor Hunter was appointed as a member of a committee of five which will plan a revision of the work enabling the association to do its work more successfully.
Professor Hunter met several men formerly of the University while in the East. He found graduates who are now carrying on further study at Harvard,who spoke enthusiastically of the preparation which they received at K.U.for their present work. They also commented favorably on the daily chapel exercises in the University of Kansas, which they now miss. At Yale, he met Prof.W.C.Abbott and Dr.A.L.Corbin,'94,who are now instructors there in history and law respectively.
Before returning home Professor Hunter visited several of the important museums and experimental laboratories of the East.

IN MARINE LABORATORY
PROF. BAUMGARTNER TO PACIFIC COAST.
Will Spend Summer Months Teaching at Puget Sound Biological Station.
Prof. W. J. Baumgartner of the department of zoology, has been appointed a member of the teaching staff at the Puget Sound Marine Biological Laboratory. His work there will begin next June It will not in any way conflict with his work at the University as the sessions of the laboratory are held only during the summer months.
The Puget Sound laboratory is at Friday Harbor, where a University expedition went last summer on a collecting trip. Professor Baumgartner was a member of the party and it was at this time that the directors of the laboratory became acquainted with him. The laboratory is supported by the Universities of Washington, Oregon, Montana, and Wyoming, together with other universities and colleges of the northwest.
It is the plan of the directors to organize the work of the laboratory on somewhat the same plan as that of the marine laboratory at Woods Hole, Mass., and make it a center of research work for the middle west and the Pacific coast. Friday Harbor and its vicinity are unusually rich in specimens of marine life.
Professor Baumgartner's work will be to give a course of six weeks in length, but just what work he will offer at the laboratory has not been decided upon.
FOR MINING BUILDING.
Fowler Shops Busy Making the Needed Equipment.
Six new cement top tables with iron pipe foundations are being built by the University at their shops for the mineralogy laboratory in the Mining Engineering building.
These tables will stand about four feet off the ground and will rest upon a framework of two 2 inch pipe. The top will be built of Portland cement the dimensions being four by eight feet. The students of the blowpipe class will use these tables in their blowpipe analysis. Only about eight pupils can use one table, thus ac commodifying about fifty students
Heretofore the students used ordinary tables covered with asbestos pads. These were unsatisfactory, as there was great danger of fire, but the new ones will be absolutely fire proof.
A large cabinet about six feet long and about six feet tall is also being built by the University shops for the library and will have room enough for all of the magazine, papers, and periodicals which the mining department subscribes to.

"But," answered the upper-classman, with a knowing smile, "think how you and Willie can spend that extra hour strolling about the campus on warm spring afternoons when the birds are singing in the trees—" Here she suddenly remembered that her gold tooth was showing and quickly closed her lips.
The Engineering building being as cold as usual, I came over to Fraser hall to thaw out. On strolling near the board where the new spring schedule had recently been put up, I couldn't help pausing to notice two fair co-eds looking at the schedule, one apparently a freshman and the other an upperclassman. Now what do you think I heard them say? Here it is: “Merey,” sighed the little one, feeling her hair to make sure that her rat was still there. “I just have to have an 8 o'clock and Willie hasn't one till 9.”
KICK COLUMN.
Editor Kansan.
“Oh! that's right, besides I'll have that new spring dress that”—Here I swallowed my chewing tobacco and went back to the Engineering building, disgusted. Do you blame me?
Editor of Kansan:
Sir—Some time ago—about a year, in fact—there was elected at the University an organization known as the Student Council. At the time the Student Council was organized rosy hopes were held out to the trusting student body that the Council might take some part in University afairs and even have some authority in student government.
ENGINEER.
Now another chance to bring about a lasting reform presents itself to the Student Council. For several years there has been an agitation against the system of conducting quizzes. Professors and students are alike opposed to the present clumsy and unjust system. Now if the Student Council really wishes to accomplish something, here's a chance to prove whether it really is a part of the University. only been lying dormant or whether, as has been occasionally suspected, it is merely a home for defeated candidates.
KICKER.
To the Editor of the Kansan :
SENIOR LAW.
Through the columns of the Kansan I wish to "kick" on the fact that the law library is not kept open in the evening. This fact works a hardship on the men working their way through school and must work down town in the afternoon, for it forces them to do all of their library work between 8 and 9 a.m. This crowds the library during the early morning hours and makes it practically impossible to obtain certain books which are always in demand. It seems to me that the law library should be run in the same manner as the general library, so as to give every student a fair chance to do his library reading.
Good Words for "Ysbrand."
From the Lawrence Journal.
It is beginning to dawn even upon our own people that there is a great University up on the hill. Nothing illustrated this more than the play presented at the opera house last night. For the first time in English the play "Ysbrand" by Van Eden, was given and it was given by students of the Kansas State University. The conception of the work was great and the interpretation was along the lines of the author. This play has attracted more attention than anything the University has ever done. It has been advertised all over the United States. It was a mighty advance for the University and showed what can be done in a great school. The Journal wants to compliment the University on the great success that has attended this play. It is what is needed.

VOLUME VI.
A NATIONAL ORGANIZATION
NEWSPAPER CONFERENCE TO MEET ANNUALLY.
Meeting at the University Yester day Was of Much Benefit to Schools of Journalism
Charman, Charles Moreau Harger of the University of Kansas.
The National Conference of Schools of Journalism was the outcome of the meeting of teachers in journalism departments of Western colleges and universities here yesterday. This first conference will be followed by annual meetings. The first officers are:
Secretary, Walter Williams of the University of Missouri.
Executive Committee, Willard G. Bleyer, University of Wisconsin; George E. Vincent, University of Chicago; C. V. Gregory, Iowa State College.
The next meeting will be held at Columbia, Mo., by invitation of Dean Williams of the University of Missouri.
These were the proceedings of the afternoon conference, and indications are for a wider interest in the teaching of journalism as a result of this meeting.
All the delegates present a yesterday's meeting showed great interest in the proceedings, and expressed themselves as favoring a permanent organization. Many expressed the belief that a number of schools of the middle West which were not represented at the meeting yesterday, would send delegates to the next meeting. The time of the next meeting was left to the chairman and secretary to decide.
The first national conference of schools of journalism, which met at the University yesterday. brought together a number of teachers of journalism and men engaged in newspaper work, for the purpose of discussing the work of the schools.
In addition to the University five schools had representatives present: The University of Missouri, represented by Dean Walter Williams and Professor Ross Kansas State Agricultural College, represented by J. D. Rickman; Iowa State Agricultural College, represented by Prof. C. V. Gregory; Ottawa University represented by Prof. E. R. Nichols; the College of Emporia, represented by Prof. H. R. Brower.
The out-of-town newspaper men present were Arthur Brisbane of the New York Journal, Henry J. Allen of the Wichita Beacon; W. A. White of the Emporia Gazette; Charles Sessions of the Kansas City Journal; and Wm. Sout'ern of the Independence, Mo., Examiner.
That part of the conference which was arranged for the entertainment of the general University public was marred by the failure of Arthur Brisbane, the principal speaker, to reach Law rence in time to make a talk in chapel.
Following the chapel exercises the real work of the conference began, with the reading of a paper on the organization of the school of journalism at the University of Missouri, read by Dean Williams. At the close of Dean Williams' paper, Prof. C. V. Gregory and Professor Ross made short talks and by the time they had finished Mr. Brisbane had arrived.
NUMBER 45
It was nearly noon when Mr. Brisbane took the floor. He rushed through his speech at lightning speed. He spoke from notes and organized his talk as he went along. Those who heard him could see how it is easily possible for Mr. Brisbane to dictate his editorials into a phonograph at the rate of a thousand words every ten minutes, as he says he does. The talk was mainly a defense of "yellow journalism." Mr Brisbane gave his reasons for thinking it the best type of journalism. He got in a lot of matter, however, about his assigned subject, which was "Things a Journalism School Ought to Teach."
Luncheon at the Eldridge house followed, at which about thirty-five guests of the University were present. After the luncheon, Chancellor Strong called upon W.A. White, Prof.C.V. Gregory and Prof.E.R.Niebols for short talks.
The conference then adjourned to the hotel parlors. C.M.Harger presided. Prof.H.R.Brower discussed the faults of English teaching in the high schools. J.D.Rickman told how the newspaper work at K.S.A.C. was organized to turn out good printers. W.Y.Morgan, Dave Leahy, and Charles Sessions spoke commending in the highest terms the work of the schools of journalism The outcome of the discussion was the organization of the permanent conference which will hold annual meetings.
OH, YOU KIDS!
Senior Laws Are Going Back to High School Ways.

SAYS IT IS GREATEST FIELD FOR USEFULNESS.
Newspaper Is to the Race What Language Is to the Individual.
In delivering his address before the newspaper conference yesterday, Arthur Brisbane spoke only from meagre notes and so rapidly that a stenographic report was out of the question. His manner was not at all that of the orator, but rather of the business man full of his subject, thoroughly sincere, and intent upon making his meaning vividly clear in the fewest possible words. He began by describing his own career as a newspaper man:
I have been a working newspaper man for twenty-six years. I began as a reporter on the New York Sun at $15 a week. I quit after a year and went to Europe. While I was there, the Sun asked me to take charge of its London bureau. I was then 20 years old. The offer was too good for a young man to turn down, so I accepted. I soon returned to New York and was night editor of the Sun. Later I went to the New York World. I am now an editorial writer for the Hearst papers.
I believe that newspaper work is the very best field for useful effort unless a man is fortunate enough to have the ability to develop some great industry. In a selfish world it is natural that the greatest rewards should attract the greatest men. Industrial development is the problem of the century. Next to that I believe comes newspaper work.
The first thing is to know what journalism is. If you should ask me to go into some enterprise here I should want you to define the enterprise. Journalism is to the human race what language is to the individual. You know that physical evolution stopped as soon as men could talk. Then began evolution inside of the brain. Speech made it possible for men to combine in the crowd. Just as a small group may meet on common ground through spoken words, so millions of people are brought together in the columns of a great newspaper. A man who has a newspaper can talk to his community or to his state, or in some cases to the whole nation and that certainly is important. The newspaper editorial column especially, but also the news columns holds a place in the nation today like that of the public square in Athens. One of the ancient Greeks said that if the nation ever got so big it would not get together and talk it would fall to pieces. And so it would. But men can meet just as well in the columns of a newspaper as in Madison Square Garden. Every day you can have five or six or
fifty millions of individuals thinking very nearly along the same lines. Mr. Rockefeller cannot increase the price of oil in the most remote district without having it known.
Socrates had the satisfaction talking to his judges very plainly but when it was over he had to take his poison and die. Instead of drinking the hembock himself, Mr. Hearst gives it to the other fellow. He publishes the Archbold letters and Senator Foraker goes off into Ohio to die politically. The man who is thinking of going into newspaper work is likely to compare it with the practice of law. I think that the study of law for an ambitions young American is entirely unworthy. I say so with entire respect to the great lawyers and the great American judges who are occupying the bench. A lawyer takes anybody's money to fight his little personal quarrel or his big quarrel. The corporation lawyer gets rich, but I do not think that he is to be envied. A newspaper man has the people for his client. A man goes into a lawyer's office and gives his fee and the lawyer takes the case. The newspaper man looks at the question from both sides and adopts the policy that suits him. In a matter of general interest he can represent his state or in a matter of more general interest, he can stand for a nation. I would a thousand times rather be a small newspaper man in some little town in Kansas making a fight to compel my representative in Congress to vote for an income tax than to be Mr. Choate going down to Washington to make a speech against the income tax and getting $100,000 for doing it.
I will mention two examples of powerful newspaper men today Joseph Pulitzer, the owner of the New York World is a very big man. I think, perhaps, he is the most powerful individual in the country. In my opinion he has been somewhat changed by becoming rich. Not that he is any less conscientious but that the world looks different to his since he got money. He has done some extraordinary things with his paper. During the Cleveland administration he did one thing that perhaps no other man could have done. He notified the government at Washington that it would be wrong to sell United States bonds for only a little above par. No notice was taken of his warning. He wrote again. Finally when it became evident that J. Pierpont Morgan was about to succeed in getting these securities, Pulitzer telephoned his banker to send one million dollars in gold to Washington and offer to buy the bonds at a reasonable price, many points higher than the price offered by Morgan. That settled it. Incidentally, too, Mr. Pulitzer made a big profit on his purchase, because the bonds were very valuable.

HONOR BELONGS TO THE WOMEN
GENERAL MOVEMENT FOR A NEW SYSTEM.
Men's Council Met With Women and Joint Action Expected to Bring Results.
Although the real agitation for the introduction of the honor system in the University was begun only a short time ago the progress has been so rapid that indications are at present that the school will be placed upon that system of taking quizzes within a short time While the change may not come in time to affect the order of quizzes next month, there is a likelihood that it will alter matters in final quizzes next spring. The work thus far has been done almost entirely by the Women's Student council of he University. That body has been agitating a no-cheating quiz for some time. Last Tuesday night the Men's council also took up the crusade in a meeting with the council of women. Permanent committees, whose duty it shall be to push the movement, were appointed.
At the same time a joint committee was appointed to confer in the eliminating of all conflict in dates of University functions and to arrange a calendar of University affairs, giving as many events as possible definite annual dates. This calendar will be published in the catalog of the University next spring.
The committee on political reformation of the Men's council announced that within a short time it would be ready to present a final written report on existing evils and needed reformation. A thorough review of politics in all classes has been made and it is understood that the most urgent need for reform exists in freshman classes by which students enter the school for the first time. As a rule they have no conception of true politics and many evils are the result.
Kansas Day Banquet.
The annual Kansas Day banquet will be held at Topeka, January 29. All K. U. Republicans are invited to be present. A special feature of this year's program is that all state candidates for office are expected to make the announcement of their candidacy at this meeting. Mr. A. M. Ebright of the Law School has been chosen as a representative of K. U. Republicans. Plates must be reserved in advance. Those expecting to attend from K. U. are requested to notify Foster Cline or I. N. Williams on or before Monday, January 24.
Prof. Wileox will address the Greek Symposium on "A Trip to Greece," Thursday at 7:30 p. m.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Lawrence Daily Gazette,takes one long, solemn, knock at "Ysbrand." We make this statement in this place and at this time in order to let you know just what the Gazette did say about the play. Unfortunately the Gazette does not disseminate its news very far and very generally. We therefore offer our little aid. Come to think about it those papers that always are laying for everything with a loaded sledgehammer are never very successful. They are "different"—but not popular. Only chronic knockers like chronic knockers and at the present time the brotherhood of the order does not number many souls.
The action of the Chancellor in ordering hat there be in the future only one dramatic production by each club each year will meet favor with everyone. Even the member of the clubs are glad of the action. One presentation each year for each club is enough for the club members and will abundantly satisfy the appetite that the students may have for amateur productions. There will then be one play by the Masque club, one by the Thespians, and one by the School of Fine Arts. And that is certainly enough.
Herrnstein, formerly of Ohio state, and Levine, formerly of Tennessee state, have applied for Coach Kennedy's old position. This array of talent must scare Kennedy almost to death. No need of it, though. Kansas would not be after one of the Ohio or Tennessee cast-offs, even if a change of coaches was contemplated.
If the basket-ball team keeps up its good work some of that numerous body of students, who made up their minds to go to Missouri to school next year as a result of the late sorrow, may reconsider and stay with Kansas.
We refuse to argue the point. Possibly "Tommy" Johnson's basket-ball "uniform" has shrunk since last year. It was rather abbreviated last season though.

LECTURED ON HARMFUL BUGS
MALARIA AND TYPHOID DIS CUSSED BY PROF. HUNTER.
Much Economic Loss and Disease Caused by Fly and Mosquito.
Professor Samuel J. Hunter lectured on the subject, "Harmful Insects," at the tuberculosis exhibit Saturday afternoon. He told of the insects that spread disease among men and beasts with especial reference to those forms most prevalent in this region.
According to Professor Hunter malaria and typhoid fever are the two diseases spread by insects that are most common to Kansas. It has been ascertained that the only way malaria can spread is through the malarial mosquito This insect bites people afflicted with the disease and, travelling on, bites others, injecting malaria germs at the same time.
Some time ago the department of entomology here investigated the mosquitoes around Lawrence and found only one place where the malaria mosquitoes breed. That was in a slough not far from the University. All of the family living in the house closest by was down with malaria.
"People do not realize what an economic loss the malarial mosquito causes," said Professor Hunter. "One million cases of chills a year greatly impair the economic productiveness of the people. About 12,000 people die annually from malaria. The early English colonies in Virginia were unsuccessful because of malarial mosquitos. Today parts of Africa, America, and Asia are not settled for the same reason."
The insect that is mainly responsible for the spread of typhoid fever is the common house fly. This pest breeds in horse manure, hog hair, garbage of all kinds, dead animals, and human excreta. Upon its padded feet are often found 6,050,000 germs. The fly loves to walk in food intended for human consumption, leaving typhoid germs in its tracks.
All manure should be thrown from barns into pits or closed sheds and no open cess pools should be allowed if the fly is to be exterminated. In addition all fermenting vegetable matter should be cleaned away. The towns of the state are beginning to take measures against typhoid and they have succeeded well. The farmer has not taken such preventative measures and today typhoid is mainly a question for the farmer to handle.
Students of the pharmacy classes will hold a banquet at the Eldridge house next Thursday evening. S. J. Crumbine will talk upon "Drug Analysis, and the Pharmaceutical Profession." Mr. H. F. Faxon, wholesale druggist of Kansas City, will also make an impromptu address to the students.
A Pharmacy Banquet.
Many of the alumni of the school will be present and the dinner will serve both the purpose of bringing the old alumni and students together.
Twenty-three men from the senior class and eight from 1911 have been elected to Phil Beta Kappa at Harvard. The additional members from the class of 1910 are to be announced at a later date.
TWO FOR CONGRESS.
Alumni Are Candidates in Kansas Districts.
The Second Kansas congressional district is no longer the only one in which an alumnus is a candidate for the Republican nomination for congress. Last week Fred S. Jackson, '92, announced through the columns of the Eureka Herald, published in his home town, that he would be a candidate against J. M. Miller, the present representative from the Fourth district.
Mr. Jackson is at present serving his second term as attorney general of Kansas, where he has made a name fro himself in his fight for the enforcement of the prohibitory law. He has also been prominent in standing boldly for the principles advocated by Governor Stubbs for improving political affairs in the state. He has been in Lawrence many times since his graduation and has made several addresses before University audiences.
Arthur F. Cranston, '94, is another graduate of the Low School who is making a campaign for congressional honors on an "insurgent" platform. He lives in Parsons and has within the last few weeks become an active candidate against P. P. Campbell for the Republican nomination for congress in the Third district.
MAYBE PEACE AGAIN
Handball Sharks Are Just About Quieted.
When the indoor einder track was put in the basement of the gym, the handball fiends who had by one fell stroke been deprived of their play grounds, raised a cry of anger.
The students were impatient and would not wait for things to take their course. They descended in mass on the faculty handball room and took possession. Then followed a burst of dignified protest from the gentlemen whose domain had been thus rudely invaded. The professors did not like beaten by their students. The result is that the busy physical director has been driven almost to a state of nervous collapse and that many handball sharks will get fours instead of ones.
To relieve the situation it has been decided to make at least three courts on the floor of the gym proper. Heavy wooden back stops will be placed against the rolling doors and courts marked off so that as soon as quizz week is over matters will settle into thir natural state and all will again be peace.
Donald Robertson, a brother of Forbes Robertson, the great English author, who is making a great hit in New York this winter in "The Passing of the Third Floor Back," will probably stage "Ysbrand" in Chicago this winter. As yet nothing definite has been done concerning the presentation of the Dutch play in other cities, but Kansas City and Emporia have intimated that a staging of this play would meet with a hearty reception in these towns.

Orders have been issued to the engineers at Minnesota that if any of them are caught smoking on the campus they will be suspended.

Dr. Emley Lectures to the People and Directs Exhibit and Consults With Doctors.
The tuberculosis exhibit recently displayed in Snow hall is an example of what the University is doing for the people of the state.
Dr. Emley says, "The people of Kansas were never in better health than at the present. They are learning that it is better to prevent disease than to cure it. Even the law against public drinking cups which for a time was looked on as a great handicap is now accepted as a wise measure. The recognition of the value of this law is spreading and many states have followed Kansas' lead in the matter. When public towels and a few more disease spreaders have been abolished we shall have taken a long step toward insuring the public health."
Dr. Emley, a professor in the Medical school, on leave of absence, is in charge of the exhibit and travels with it continually, warning the people of the state against the disease and advising them how to best avoid it. Thirty-five towns have been visited and over 45,000 persons have seen the exhibit which has been on the road six months, only one-fourth of the time it is to continue.
The tuberculosis exhibit is carried from town to town in a special car which is so arranged that it may be opened to the public, thus obviating the necessity of moving the models to a hall and back at every stopping place.
Besides having charge of the exhibit Dr. Emley gives lectures at each town visited and holds consultations with the local physicians and health officers.
NOW TO BE PLAYWRIGHT.
Kemp Working on a Drama in Blank Verse.
Harry Kemp, after displaying his ability as a Thespian in "Ysbrand," has decided to enlarge his field of activities and will enter into the trials and tribulations of a playwright. For some time past Harry has been writing dramatic scenes and near melodramatic situations, but now he has almost completed a romantic melodrama. It has been reconstructed so that it is now a real acting drama. It is sheer romance and unique in that it remains intense the theme is conventional. It is lily tragic until the very last of the play when the plot quickly unfolds and all ends well.
It is written in blank verse because Harry says he cannot do himself justice in the love scenes unless he uses this vehicle of thought. He has not decided to give up writing lyric poetry because as this is a spontaneous outburst of his poetic nature, he cannot regulate it to his ordinary routine of life.
Harry is very enthusiastic over the art of acting and says he thoroughly enjoyed the work in "Ysbrand." That he entered thoroughly into his part is shown by the fact that he lost eight pounds in weight during the performance the first night.

TO GERMANY FOR HIS BRIDE
UNIVERSITY MAN TO WED ABROAD.
Alfred Powell, Last Year's Freshman Football Player, Sailed Yesterday for Coln.
Another romance, involving a University man, has come to light. Alfred Powell, of Wichita, who was a member of last year's freshman football team and a prominent wrestler, sailed yesterday on the Lusitania from New York, for Cöln, Germany, where on February 22 he will be married to Helene Steinbüschel.
Miss Steinbüschel's parents at one time lived in Wichita, where the girl and Powell were in the same class in the high school. Miss Steinbüschel, who is highly gifted as a musician, left last May for Coln, Germany, where she is studying voice, piano and pipe organ.
After the marriage the couple will tour Europe until the first of June, when they will return to the United States. Mr.Powell will then go into business with his father, who has extensive brick manufactories in southern Kansas and northern Oklahoma.
The wedding will be a formal one, at the Episcopal church of Cohn.
While in Europe Mr. Powell will investigate the brick industries of the different countries in which he travels.
Mrs. Effie Pyle Fisher, '01, is a cousin of Mr. Powell. She is the wife of a Methodist missionary now in Europe. Mr. Powell will make a special trip to see her, while on his wedding journey.
TWO DIFFERING VIEWS.
W. A. White and W. Y. Morgan on Journalism Schools.
The afternoon program of the journalism conference yesterday was made up of short discussions of the various problems involved in teaching journalism. Following the luncheon at the Eldridge house, Chancellor Strong called on William Allen White to talk on "The Newspaper Man's Objections to Schools of Journalism."
"My objection to the shool of journalism are theoretical," said
Mr. White. "I never have thought much of the general idea of courses in journalism. It has seemed to me always that what a student wants to do in the University is to confine himself to he regular college courses, if he wants to go into newspaper work later. I have often wished I had spent less time on the college paper when I was in school, and had put it in on mathematics or some other study that would have made me precise and exact.
"But practically, I must say that I can't object much to what the school of journalism is doing, as the best reporter I have ever had was made the efficient man he now is by his training in the University. I do think, that conditions would be improved if a man had to take the college course before the special work in journalism was open to him."
A little later in the discussion W. Y. Morgan was called upon to talk. He took exception emphatically to Mr. White's remarks.
"Mr. White knows better than to believe the things he has been saying," said Mr. Morgan. "It he had studied mathematics or some of the more exact subjects when he was at the University instead of hanging around the college paper and the downtown newspaper offices, he would have been somebody else than Bill White. The things he did in college have a great deal to do with making him the success he has been in newspaper work.
"Some speakers here today have seemed to take the view that maybe the idea of having a school of journalism has not yet been proved a good one. I have no sympathy with that view. The school of journalism has already proved a success and will be a greater success in the future.
"Look around over the state of Kansas, and you will see that the one-half or two-thirds of the newspaper men of the state are college men. That is true of editors, and it is increasingly true of reporters. The newspapers of the state are practically in the hands of the college men of the state."
"This fact shows that great change has taken place in newspaper work in he state since the early days. The proposition of starting a newspaper means more nowadays than the acquisition of an army hand press. It is a complicated undertaking, demanding special training.
"To give that special training, the school of journalism is needed. It is a winner. It will be an absolute necessity to the journalism of the future."
I LIKE TO DO LITTLE JOBS OF REPAIRING
Because I know how to execute them in an artistic manner and, without making you endure a tedious wait. There is nothing about the intricate mechanism of the finest watch that I do not thoroughly understand and there is no piece of gold or silver repairing so delicate that I cannot fix satisfactorily, and you will be surprised when you find out how little I charge.

Henry Allen and Walter Williams in Friendly Fray.
WHEN EDITORS DEBATE.
yesterday morning in chapel the Chancellor staged what the advance notices said was to be a fiery debate. The principals were Henry Allen, the Wichita editor and spellbinder, and Walter William, dean of the Missouri School of Journalism, southern gentleman, and silver tongue orator The debate was without decision and was a draw. Henry Allen led off. He stepped to the center of the stage and opened up. "Modern journalism," he said, "has made all the whole world akim. The United States is now more of a neighborhood than the village community of forty years ago. Today a pulse beat in the China sea neverbrates around the earth and sets millions of hearts aglow. The newspaper takes up the four corners of the earth and dumps the contents into the lap of the ordinary citizen. Every day eighty five million Americans read the same news, and the same thoughts No wonder the country is unified and patriotic."
Mr. Allen quit before his time was called and it was the turn of Walter Williams. Mr. Williams lives in Columbia, Mo. Columbia is the seat of the University of Missouri. It is on a branch line of some railroad. Therefore Mr. Williams was late. He came up strong, however.
"The idiot is the only man," he said, "that does not need preparation for his lifet's work. News paper men need education in their chosen field. They are not merely recording angels, they are inter preters and prophets. Moses was the first great editor. He wrote all the news, good and bad, that came under his observation. Luke was the greatest reporter. He wrote of things he saw and then added a touching human interest Great editors are great prophets they are the men who peer into the future and see the larger good. They work in the interest of the public and have a highly developed sense of personal service."

BRISBANE ON JOURNALISM
(Continued from page 1.)
The second example of the powerful newspaper man is Mr Hearst. He fought the ice trust in New York city until it was compelled to reduce the price of ice. Many thousands of children died that summer because the poor people could not buy ice with which to keep milk sweet. We made a fight which compelled the trust to cut the price of ice in two.
An editor should be alive to even small things which need attention. Going to and from my home at Hampstead, I used to notice many wounded pigeons along in the hedges. They were the birds which the champagne sports had not been able to kill in their shooting matches on Long Island. I decided that this practice ought to be stopped. The sports told me it could not be, but I stopped it in a very simple way. I wrote to every member of the legislature, and asking them to let me know whether or not they would telling them about the cruel practice for a bill to suppress it, told them that we wished to lea the people know by means of our 800,000 circulation whether or not they favored such a practice. That was all that was necessary. The next session of the legislature made a law that stopped pigeon shooting.
We stopped race track betting in New York. A peculiar thin about this was that my editorial on the subject were printed in our Chicago paper at the same time track betting was stopped there they were in New York and rae New Orleans paper copied the edi before it was in New York. Materials and race track betting wa stopped in that city.
The editor is not always the ablest man in the world. He may be a very commonplace man, but he has a big advantage, because he has a great crowd back of him
The education of a newspaper man ought to begin in his earliest childhood if he is to be a news paper man worth while. I might say that it must begin in the crable. He must have almost born in him a feeling of the equality of men. He must be educated to have sympathy for those who suffer and those who are wronged. He must learn to regard as a joke the government which we have a present—a joke on republican or democratic government. He must begin all this as a child. Unless he got it from his father, he probably will never have it. A man who does not have a feeling of in dignation at seeing children working in the mills will never be a newspaper man. He must see that there ought to be a fairer distribution of money. There are people in New York who don't ever know how to throw away their money. I regard Fifth avenue a the great national varicose vein The ability to see these conditions sympathise, and to insist on relief is an important qualification for newspaper work.
Assuming that a man is fitted by nature for this work what should he study? The answer is everything. He doesn't need to be a scholar, but everything that he reads will help him. Lineoln in spite of his lack of education would have made a great newspaper man. Your education may be superficial—that doesn't matter so much; but it must be catholic. Read widely rather than thoroughly. You must know what has
been done before you begin work. Let those who are teaching journalism pick out the best things to read and condense them for their students.
There is only one place to start as a journalist. That is, as a reporter. The first department of newspaper work is, of course, the telling of what has happened. This ought to be done truthfully and exactly. I do not say that a reporter may not arrange his facts in such a way as to present the picture more vividly. When you are describing a street accident in which a little child was killed, it is all right to tell about the big red automobile that went by without stopping. That helps the picture.
The second department of the newspaper is the editorial. And what the people want to read is not what the editor thinks but what the people themselves think. You know the only thing a man has in this world is his own mind, his own feelings. You must interpret people to themselves. The most powerful editorial is that which leads people to say "That is just what I have always thought but never expressed." You must study your public, and write to suit them. In reporting, you must have the power to see the thing clearly and tell it plainly. It is a great power. You must practice writing a great deal, because the mind is like a field that has not been cultivated. You must learn to see the one thing that the people wish to hear about. I remember that one of my first assignments was to write a story about a man who had jumped from the Brooklyn bridge. There was nothing unusual about the incident, and I gave only a few lines to describing his leap. But I traced the story back into the slum where his family lived, and described how I found his little child sitting on the floor chewing a fish bone. A poor workman on the floor above had sent down his own dinner to the bereaved family. I was working for the elder Dana at the time and he cut the story out and posted it in his office. He said it was because I told the important thing. Of course that pleased me a good deal. We received over $8,000 for the family of the suicide. The New York Sun was the best school of journalism. I worked under Mr. Bogart and Mr. Clark and they helped me a great deal. Clark was the night editor of the Sun and had marvellous ability handling copy. On an election night when Clark was absent we had a long table at which twenty men worked, handling the copy. The next night Mr. Clark was in the office and did all of the work himself, at his little desk, besides getting up several columns of his own matter. Clark's handling of a reporter's copy was the best possible education. The reporter who saw his story the next day in the paper, with every unnecessary word cut out and with the important point which he had buried in the story brought up to the lead where it belonged, had the best possible opportunity of learning how to write. A school of journalism should lay great emphasis on this work of correcting copy and re-writing. Joseph Pulitzer I think, is one of the finest writers of English in America. When he began his work he could no speak a word of English. He goes a German translation of Shakespeare and turned it into English and then compared his version with the original English text. I was by such work as this that he learned to write.
Having decided to be a newspaper man, the next thing is to decide what kind of a paper you want to work for. There is the yellow paper—which is mine. I invented it and am proud of it. I suppose that a man is proud of almost any kind of a baby, if it is his. Then there is the other kind of a paper—the quiet kind. It is a very good kind of paper. You want to pick out your own kind and then work in that direction.
yellow paper—which is mine. I invented it and am proud of it. I suppose that a man is proud of almost any kind of a baby, if it is his. Then there is the other kind of a paper—the quiet kind. It is a very good kind of paper. You want to pick out your own kind and then work in that direction.
They say that my paper exaggerates. Exaggeration is usually nothing but a prompt presentation of the news. The most inaccurate reporter is far more careful than the most careful business man. If the ordinary man escapes from a burning building, he is sure that everybody else was burned. The reporter is the expert who is hired to exercise his judgment in such cases. The one thing to do is to educate your readers to know that a cable dispatch is not an affidavit but the best estimate of the facts that good newspaper work can give. When the first telegram about the Galveston disaster reached our office, it said that there were a thousand killed. I told the telegraph editor to print it fifty. Later we raised it to five hundred, and finally it turned out to be ten thousand. Not long ago we got a cable dispatch that there had been an earthquake in Martinique. We could learn nothing about it. The only thing we could find out was that all the cables in that vicinity were out of business. I figured that if the cables were injured here must have been an overflow of lava great enough to run down into the ocean. I knew that if there had been such an overflow as this the city had been overwhelmed. I told them to put it in the paper that there had been an earthquake in Martinique and that 20,000 people had been killed. It turned out to be 40,000. This is the way a newspaper man must exercise his judgement. Now as to sensationalism, the people must have it—just as the Japanese take opium. The ignorant man takes whisky, and the higher class person takes a philosophical discussion. When Newton was working out his discoveries in mathematics he labored under great excitement. He took calculus where some men would have used champagne. If people don't have some one kind of excitement they will have another and I believe that a paper that gives legitimate excitement to people renders a public service. We draw the line at vileness. We do not publish anything which I could not read before the young ladies in this room. Take the Thaw case for example. It was important because it involved an architect who knew everybody. It was probably the vilest case that has ever been tried in New York President Roosevelt wrote a letter to the district attorney, directing him to watch the newspapers to see if they published details of the case which would make it necessary to exclude them from the mails. The Hearst papers displayed the story prominently, to be sure, but they did not publish the indecent part. In New York the only papers which did not have this stuff were the Hearst papers and the Evening Post. The Brooklyn Eagle, which is known as a family paper, published the rottenest story of them all. in Boston the only paper which did not carry the details of this case were the Hearst paper and the Transcript. We publish stories of crime, of course. We can't help crime. I am told that Dean Williams has said in a lecture that Moses was really the
first great yellow journalist because there was so much crime in what he wrote. We can't help crime, but we can help printing details that a man can't read to his daughter—that is the test we make.
I once spoke to a conference of Presbyterian ministers and one of them said, "But, Mr. Brisbane you use such large black type on your front page, and then there will be a line of red type." I told him that the front page of the New York Journal was modeled after the thunder storm, which is the front page of the heavens made up by the Creator. We get in the black clouds and the red lightning. The rainbow suggests the coming Sunday supplement. The only thing we can't get into it is the thunder. If we could, I would have a copy of the Journal thundering on every street corner.
The newspaper is the only amusement that a great many people get. Some would tell them to work hard all week and then bore themselves on Sunday so as not to bring down the wrath of God Almighty on us. That is kind. But we really ought to give them a little excitement. The newspaper furnishes the vaudeville element in their lives.
When Mr. Harnsworth, the owner of the London Times, came to this country, bringing his big touring car, on his way to Florida to fish for tarpon, he told me that the New York Journal was all right, except that it ought to be printed on a much smaller sheet of paper, and in small type I said to him, "You are going down to Florida to catch tarpor because they are big and game and make a great disturbance lashing the water. How would you like it if I should turn your six foot tarpor into a sprat—just a little sprat?" "You brought along this big ear of yours. How would you like it if I should turn that into a baby buggy, in which your chaffeur could push you along?" Millions of our readers do all their tarpon fishing in the Journal.
There is one thing to remember in going into newspaper work. I is the most dangerous thing in the world for several reasons. I brings you into contact with the evil in life. Men lie to you, and you become cynical. A great many newspaper men, I am sorry to say, are cynical. Then, too newspaper work exposes the young man to all kinds of temptations. Finally, conditions grow worse as he grows older. He is likely to be less well off at the end of twenty years that he was at the end of the first year. The best asset that a young man brings into journalism is his freshness. He can see the thing which the older man overlooks having seen it so often. I was sent to report a prize fight once just because I knew nothing about it, and could see what the people wanted to know about. All that the old prize-fight editor could do was to draw a little diagram and make marks where the blows landed. The worst thing that can happen to a newspaper man is to become calloused. When a doctor for the first time cuts off a man's leg, he sympathises with the man. But after he has done that sort of thing for years, he can cut off legs and think about something else all the time. But that does not make him a worse doctor; it makes him a better one. The first time that a judge sentences a criminal, he sympathizes with him. After a while he gets over that. But lack of sympathy does not spoil him as a judge. The
newspaper man, however, who doesn't notice suffering and who gets so he does not care about injustice and wrong is a failure. He cannot do real newspaper work.
But ours is the most interesting and amusing business you can imagine. There are many contrasts in our work. Among my early assignments was one to go and write a story about triplets. I went and looked at them. They had little red and white and blue ribbons tied to them to show the order of their arrival. But I didn't write a very good story. I could do better now. Then, I was sent to tell about the arrival of a noted Japanese wrestler. I took a Chinaman along as interpreter, but the wrestler evidently got a wrong impression, for he rushed at me and threw me over his head against the ceiling. Then I was sent to report the Hell Gate explosion. Once, I was detailed as "leg man" to follow an old reporter to a fire in Brooklyn and bring back the story. The old reporter told me that no one was injured, and gave me his copy. But I learned through a little boy who was crying because his brother was missing, that twenty-four children who were suffering with sore eyes had been in one room of the asylum, and had all died in the fire. I told the city editor about it and that helped in my advancement. In company with some other newspaper men and an expert diver I went out in a boat and helped put an imitation torpedo under a British man-of-wor. We managed to get out of the scrape with the assistance of a little strong language, but after that the British men-of-war were protected by chains so that no boats could approach. In London, I had a place reserved in the House of Commons, and was the only American newspaper man who had a personal acquaintance with Gladstone.
There is no life so interesting as that of the newspaper man.

WHAT'SYELLOW JOURNALISM?
DEFINED BY BRISBANE, ITS GREAT EXPONENT.
It Has a Great Mission in Righting Wrongs and Guarding the Interests of the Public.
"What is yellow journalism?" The The prevalent opinion is that the publication of revolting, disgusting and offensive stories of crime which exerts a powerful immoral influence upon the public, of divorces and accounts of scandals constitutes the essence of yellow journalism.
Arthur Brisbane, one of the greatest editorial writers in America, in the Bookman magazine several years ago, said, "Yellow journalism is the power of public opinion, the mental force of thousands and millions of readers, utilized with more or less intelligence in the interest of those readers. Yellow journalism is the journalism of action—of responsibility—when it is the real and the right yellow journalism. Yellow journalism is simply real journalism."
Mr. Brisbane thinks each great newspaper is in its turn yellow, while it is in the ascendent, passing its competitors and setting up new standards of action and public spit. He admits that yellow journalism is perhaps yellower in Hearst's papers than elsewhere, partly because he is one of the latest of the active editors—the "doers of the word." He makes himself offensive to the "hearers only," because he started out with unusual energy to do things.
It was yellow journalism, according to Mr. Brisbane, when James Gordon Bennet sent Stanley into Africa to rescue the lost Livingston. Conservative journalism, he says, would have let Livingston rescue himself.
Some years ago a child was kidnapped in New York. Great excitement prevailed. Yellow journalism, represented by Hearst, offered and paid $5,000 for the recovery of the child, which was found by one of the thousands of posters with which yellow journalism plastered the country. Would-be-kidnappers learned that a yellow newspaper could set to work a million amateur detectives among its readers and that even amateur detectivesare to be dreaded when they number a million.
"Yellow journalism attracts attention largely through deeds of active energy such as detection of crimes, hiring of halls and the organization of meetings to protest against franchise steals, and the sending of relief trains as in the Galveston flood. To criticise Wall street gamblers, to bring criminal suits against trust extortions is all yellow journalism, which is important to the great public because it does frighten to sofe extent, at least, the big plunderers," says Mr. Brisbane.
"Yellow journalism is important to the peaceful stability of society because it acts as a safety valve for public indignation.
"Yellow journalism is war—war on hypocrisy, war on class privilege, especially against the foolishness of the crowd that will not think and which will not use the weapon that it holds—the invincible ballot. War and yellow journalism will not die out until all the wrongs shall have been righted, all questions settled and all men filled with respect for justice and the rights of others."
KICK COLUMN.
To the Editor of the Kansan :
Sir—The University is in grave danger from the slang peril. A few days ago I was talking to a prominent girl. She prided herself upon being quite refined, and it was surprising to me, when I learned that half of the phrases that this young women uttered were of a slang character. For example, "Nix on the comedy" was one of her pet retorts, and three times in the course of a five-minute conversation, she used it. A single instance of a student being overdeveloped in his slang vocabulary, would not provoke me to this kick, but when I find that on every hand one hears this slang, I call attention to it in the hope that the evil may be corrected, at least in part.
Editor Kansan:
PURITY.
Among the many sanitary and health-protective measures which have been engaging the public attention and occupying the time of our state and national legislators, I have seen no notice given to the unhealthful conditions that exist in the telephone booth. However, all who have made frequent use of these booths, located in public buildings can testify to the foul air generally contained in them.
I have found these conditions existing to a noticeable degree in the booths at K. U. Many times the air in them was so unendurable from the odor of bad breaths, onions and tobacco that it was necessary to fan it out with the door before entering.
The size and construction of these booths are responsible for this condition. Being only large enough for one person, having a low ceiling and double windows to make them as non-conductive of sound as possible, there is no chance for the air within to escape or fresh air from without except through the door. This method of ventilation might be sufficient if each occupant, upon his exit, would remember to leave the door open. However, this is not often done, with the result that the same disease-laden air is breathed over and over again by successive users of the booth.
Hence, it will not require a statement from a physician or scientist to enable a thoughtful person to realize the danger to health of such a practice. This danger could be easily eliminated by providing proper ventilation in both the lower side walls and ceiling or constructing the doors so that they would remain open except when fastened on the inside by the occupant.
Dr. Ida Hyde talked to the girls of the Topeka high school last Friday on the subject of "Personal Hygiene," and Friday night she lectured to the working girls of the town on "Methods of Caring for the Body Under Unsanitary Working Conditions." The lecture was given under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. and was well attended by all of the girls of the town.

WALTER WILLIAMS
---ON--rate faculty of journalism, as of the other faculties of the University of Missouri.
ORGANIZATION OF A SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM
Assuming the teaching of journalism or the training in courses preparatory to journalism the problem of organization for such training or teaching presents itself.
The organization, moreover, will depend upon the extent of courses in journalism and the general purpose of such courses. An organization which would be sufficient where only an occasional lecture on journalism is given where courses are offered in connection with an already existing department of instruction, would manifestly be insufficient where more extended courses were offered and independently of any other department of instruction Courses in journalism more or less extensive and varying widely in character and content are offered at a dozen or more universities in the United States. Believing as I do that separate grouping of journalism studies lends interest, coherency, strength, and high value, I favor such organization of the professional school as will best bring about such separate grouping. This may be attained, in some degree, at least, under practically any form of organization. It is best obtained, in my own opinion, where the courses in journalism are grouped specifically and formally in a separate and distinct professional school.
Such organization necessarily differs at different schools. The complete standardization of universities and colleges is impossible if desirable. Various conditions necessitate various forms of organization.
It is not with the intention of presenting as a model the form of organization of the School of Journalism of the University of Missouri that I describe its organization here. Excellent work is done in training for journalism at Kansas, Iowa, Washington, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and elsewhere, and the condition of organization the most efficient for their present needs. I have thought it might be worth while, however, if I may do so without inviting the charge of immodesty, to place for your consideration the form of organization of the professional school at the University of Missouri. I assume that at a conference as helpful as this promises to be, it is the desire of each one present to consider the problems of journalistic training from all view points.
The School of Journalism of the University of Missouri resembles in form of organization the other professional schools at that university. The Schools of Law, Engineering, Medicine, Agriculture, and particularly the School of Education, have afforded model for the organization of the present School of Journalism. The fact that the School of Journalism was organized equal in rank, coordinate, and upon the same general plan as the schools in which training for other professions was given, gave the School of Journalism at once dignity and rank. Its faculty consists of members selected from the College of Arts and Science, and so-called professional faculty, composed of teachers who give courses in theoretical and practical journalism. The president of the University, Dr. Albert Ross Hill, is by virtue of his office, chairman of this separate faculty of journalism, as of the other faculties of the University of Missouri.
While all knowledge is helpful to the journalist, the grouping of those subjects most directly bearing upon his work has been sought in the selection of the courses offered and hence of the members of the faculty under whose direction these courses are given.
Courses are offered in the history and principles of journalism, in news gathering, newspaper making, and reporting, in comparative journalism, in copy reading and correspondence, in magazine making and professional terminology, in newspaper jurisprudence or the libel law, and in illustrative art in the School of Journalism, giving the course in cartooning. From the College of Arts are taken, as members of the faculty of the School of Journalism, the professors of history, English, political science and public law, sociology, economics, and psychology, who, with the others named constitute the entire faculty of the school thus organized. This does not confine the courses in journalism to courses offered in these particular subjects, but it groups and emphasizes those subjects which are required, while others are elective. The faculty thus constituted passes upon candidates for graduation, the University of Missouri conferring upon the graduates of the School of Journalism the degree of Bachelor of Science in Journalism. It may be added that after the close of the session of 1910-1911, two years of college work or its equivalent will be necessary for enrollment in the School of Journalism at the University of Missouri. This action taken by the faculty of the school gives a five-years course leading to both degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science in Journalism, and places the requirements for graduation in journalism as high as the requirements for graduation in any other professional school.
The value of this form of organization for the professional school has been demonstrated, it seems to me, in the schools of the other professions, notably the Schools of Law and Medicine. It dignifies the professional train. It concentrates the attention of the students upon the subjects best adapted for this professional training. It gives to the students in the professional school a professional spirit. It lends interest, emphasis, and strength to the courses thus grouped. It places the stamp of organization upon the profession and upon training for the profession.
While journalism may be and is successfully taught without this form of organization, as engineering and law may be successfully taught where courses are ungrouped and separate faculties are unorganized yet the more effective plan, in my opinion, for teaching journalism, as for teaching law and engineering, is by the organization of the separate professional school and the grouping of studies therein under the direction of a responsible faculty.

WHY NOT TRY FOR A PRIZE?
STUDENTS MAY ENTER ESSAY WRITING CONTESTS.
The Subjects for the Present Year Deal Mostly With Problems of Politics.
Many prizes are offered every year by private individuals and societies in the United States, for the best essay on subjects which are of national importance and interest. These prizes are nearly all open to undergraduate students of any American college or university. The greater number of subjects this year seem to deal with economic principles.
In order to arouse interest in the study of topics relating to commerce and industry and also to stimulate those who have a college education to consider problems of a business career, Hart, Schaffner and Marx of Chicago, have offered prizes for the best essays on subjects to be selected from the general subject of economics. The prizes this year, offered by Hart, Schaffner and Marx, are under two general heads. The first prize under class A is $600; the second $400. Any American can enter in this class. Under class B, the first prize is $300, the second $200.
To enter this class a person must be an undergraduate of some American college or university at the time when the paper is sent in.
The Mohonk Conference of International Arbitration has offered a prize on he subject, "International Arbitration." This prize is $100, and the contest may be entered by an undergraduate student of any American college or university. The contest closes March 15, 1910.
Another prize, called "The William H. Baldwin Prize," has been offered by the National Municipal League, to the author of the best essay on a subject connected with municipal government. The subject is "City Government by Commission," and is open to undergraduate students in the regular course of any American college.
The Bryan prize essay for the 1910 subject is also on the commission for mof government, the subject being, "Government of Cities by Commission, With Particular Reference to Kansas." These essays must be accompanied by the outline and bibliography of subject, and handed to the Chancellor by May 1, 1910. The prize this year is the income on the fund for two years.
The total registration figures of the leading American unniversities places Columbia at the head with 6,123 students, Pennsylvania second, with 5,235, and Michigan and Harvard third and fourth with 5,200 and 3,994 respectively. Cornell ranks fifth, with 3,903,and Yale sixth, with 3,624.
For the first time in the history of the German universities the total enrollment of full or matriculated students has passed the 50,000 line, the total during the present semester being 51,700 as compared with 48,730 last semester and 47,799 the one before.

HE IS A HIGH SALARIED MAN
BRISBANE PAID $50,000 A
YEAR BY HEARST.
Has Been in Journalism as Reporter, Correspondent, and Editor Since 1883.
Arthur Brisbane, who spoke at the journalistic conference today is a man of national influence.
He was born in Buffalo, N. Y., December 12, 1883 as reporter on ing in the public schools in New York he spent five years in the universities of France and Germany. He began newspaper work December 12, 1863 as reporter on the New York Sun and was later London correspondent and editor of the Evening Sun. He spent seven years as managing editor of different editions on the New York World. Since 1897 he has been editor of the New York Evening Journal. He has also contributed largely to the "Cosmopolitan" magazine. In that magazine for August, '07, he has an article on Mrs. Eddy and Christian Science and in the April and May numbers of '08 he describes "The Fight Against Alcohol."
Sidney Brook in the English publication, "The Fortnightly Review," says the following of Mr. Brisbane: "He formulates and expounds the Hearst creed in the editorial columns of the New York Evening Journal. He is cosmopolitanly educated with many of the attributes of the student and scholar. He is a man of wide reading and an open and reflective mind. He writes with unsurpassable crispness and lucidity The leading articles that have made Mr. Hearst's name a household word were written by Mr. Brisbane."
It is well understood that Mr Brisbane has nothing to do with Mr. Hearst's "yellow journalistic" methods and has done much to prevent large municipal steals in New York city.
Mr. Brisbane is paid $50,000 a year by the Hearst publications. He makes much other money aside from this. Ordinarily he does not lecture for less than $1,000.
A NEW FURNACE.
Chemists Will Test Effect of Great Heat on Metals.
The department of chemistry has recently received an electric tube furnace with which temperatures up to 1,000 degrees centigrade can be obtained and accurately controlled. Professor Me Farland will use it for some works on the effect of different heat treatments on the crystalline structure of steel.
There is also a new microscope, made to order by the Spencer Lens Co. and differing from any at present on the hill. The department now has fairly complete equipment for metallographic work. Other electric furnaces for this work will be bought next year.

Roper to Recommend Next Year's Tiger Coach.
Although W. W. Roper will not return to coach the Tiger team, he will see that the University of Missouri has a good coach next fall. will do everything in his power to Dr. A. Ross Hill, president of the university, made this statement. Dr. Hill said he knew before it was announced from Princeton that Coach Roper would not return to Missouri, but that Roper had written him he would assist the athletic committee in getting a capable man.
This, in all probability, means that a Princeton man will be recommended to coach the Missouri team next fall, because it is thought Roper will recommend someone familiar with his methods, so that his system of coaching last fall can be carried out the coming season.

CLASS PARTIES NOT PAYING
STUDENTS. PATRONIZING SUBSCRIPTION DANCES.
Committees Consider Possibility of Giving No More Class Parties.
The question, "Will there be any more class parties," is becoming a real issue with the entertainment committees of the various classes. The classes have all lost money on their parties this year and unless conditions change the committees will be compelled to quit giving parties.
Yesterday morning the presidents of the classes, the chairmen of the social committees, and the treasurer of the senior class met together and discussed the situation. The conclusion they came to was merely that the students have too many opportunities for dancing; and this is not caused by the classes giving too many parties, but by the "subscription" and matinee dances. It seems the student body can not support its own parties and those of private enterprise at the same time, and the class officers will appeal to the students to support class dances if they want them.
The committees decided to publish the dates of their parties far the remainder of the year and to ask the students to attend the class parties in preference to those given to private individuals unless they intend to go to both unless they intend to go to both.
The classes will give parties as folows; January 28, seniors, at Ecke's; February 4, juniors, at F. A. A.; February 11, seniors, at F. A. A.; February 18, sophomores, at F. A. A.; April 1, seniors at F. A. A.; April 8, sophomores at F. A. A.; May 7, seniors, at Ecke's.
Any other engagements made by the classes will be published as soon as made.
SHELDON NEXT WEEK.

Dr. Charles M. Sheldon, the famous author and preacher of Topeka, will be at the University next week and give a series of religious talks similar to those which were so well received last year. He will speak briefly at the regular chapel hour on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and on Tuesday and Friday at 4:30 in room 110, Fraser Hall. He will also be open for conferences with the students during the week.

OFF FOR THE WOODS.
Kemp and Waters Will Retire
When Summer Comes.
As soon as the balmy months of summer come H. Clay Waters, City editor of Lawrence Daily World, and Harry Kemp, the University poet, will go into retirement from civilization.
In some secluded spot along the banks of the Kaw the rate poet and fiery journalist will pitch their tent. They wish to be in some place where they can "get close to nature" and not be bothered by people who are unaccustomed to intellectual thinking. Kemp will interest himself with poetry and the drama while Waters will put some of his most exciting journalistic experiences into short stories.
In connection with his short story writing Waters it to be chief food provider. In preparation for this task he has already procured an old fashioned muzzle loading shotgun, and a delapidated rifle which he keeps at his desk in the World office.
When interviewed by a Kansas reporter Kemp confirmed the plan but Waters refused to make any statement.
Paper. by . Emerson—Election of Members Soon.
SIGMA XI MET.
The January meeting of the Sigma Xi was held Thursday evening at the home of Prof. E. Haworth. Prof. H. W. Emerson presented a paper on "By-Products of Buttermilk." He discussed the possibility of utilizing the casein of buttermilk which is now wasted, in the same manner that the casein of sweet milk is used in perfecting the texture of paper.
The election of new members to the society will occur at the next meeting on the third Thursday in February.
Richard Maclaurin and Dr. E. R.
Buckley Will Be Here.
SPEAKERS FOR DEDICATION
A. B. Sayles, linotype operator for The Kansan, suffered a broken ankle Thursday evening while on his way home from the office. He slipped on the icy sidewalk near the home of Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, and was found unconscious there by Professors Preyer and Van der Vries. Mr. Sayles has been unable to continue his duties on the hill, but his condition is improving so rapidly it is expected he will be able to work next week.
Dean F. O. Marvin received word yesterday from Richard Maclaurin, president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at Boston, that he accepted the invitation to be in Lawrence on February 25 to dliver the address at the formal dedication of the Engineering building. The other distinguished speaker for the afternoon session will be Dr. E. R. Buckley, president of the American Mining Congress, whose acceptance has just been received by Professor Haworth.

BAKER TEAM FOUGHT HARD
JOHNSON'S MEN FOUND THEM WORTHY FOES.
Game Was Exhibition of Fast and Furious Basket Ball from First to Last.
The score was Kansas 37, Baker 24, but the count does not tell very much about the game. The play was fast and furious all the way.
The Methodists started with a jump and had five points before the locals struck their stride. When they did, however, it was all over with the boys from Preacherville.
From the spectators' point of view the game was the best ever. It was fast, rough and exciting. Both teams played on the offensive during the whole period. A Baker player would dribble the ball to 'teir goal, there would be a fierce scrimmage, and then Johnson or Martindell would dart out of the melee and carry the ball to the other end of the court. Every man on the 'Varsity team was playing a star game and none of the Baker athletes could be exactly termed slow.
The score at the end of the first half was K. U. 20, Baker 11.
The second half was a repetition of the first only more so. The Baker men drew first blood again. The score sawed back and forth, first one team and then the other having the advantage until finally victory rested with the red and blue.
Heizer and Woodward played the game of their lives. The big center gathered six baskets while the ex-captain collected four.
The same teams play again tonight at Baldwin.

Artists Had Spread.
The drawing and painting classes of Prof. Griffith and Miss Maria Benson gave a spread in Snow Hall Friday evening. A big canvas which was spread on the floor served as a table cloth and the party seated themselves around it to eat. After supper they went out of doors and viewed Derakes comet.
TO THE STUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY—
A few students who persist in taking clippings from the magazines in the library are endangering the privileges of all. Unless such practises are stopped it will be necessary to take these magazines and papers from their present place of free access and issue them as books are issued. This would not reflect credit on the school and it would inconvenience the many who are innocent.
The above practise is unlawful and is an expense as well, for all articles destroyed or defaced must be replaced by buying an entire magazine for permanent binding. If we are to enjoy the privilege of having these papers easily available we must stop this destruction. Knowing that the majority of the students are in favor of protecting their privilege, we ask their cooperation in doing away with this practise.

CERAMICS IS PROGRESSING
MISS BENSON TELLS OF POTTERY MAKING.
Kansas Clay Is Good for the Art The Glory of the Difficult Part.
The ceramic department of the Fine Arts School has proven that Mount Oread clay can be used in making their pottery. The most important part of the pottery work is the glaze, and it is upon this that Miss Benson, instructor in this department, is working. "The glaze," said Miss Benson, "is really the important part of the pottery work, because many clays can be found that will work up and fire well, but the glaze is the finishing and settles what price the work will bring. It is the most difficult to find because beautiful coloring and enamel material must be found to combine with the clay so that it will vitrify at the same temperature as the clay. This requires much work in the chemical laboratory."
"This art is nothing new, you know it has been known for centuries, but very few knew the art of making pottery then. Still fewer knew the ingredients of the glaze and those who knew it would not part with their secrets. That period is almost over now, although the great potteries of today such as Van Brigal, Rookwood, Grubby, Tedhum and others will not part with glaze or the secrets of it. But this art is being taught scientifically in schools. For instance, the Binn school in the New York university was one of the pioneer schools and still turns out pottery but the best school is Newcomb college.
"This school is part of Tulane University and is situated at New Orleans. The pottery turned out from this school is of the very best and it keeps agents in Berlin, Paris and other large European cities to sell their pottery.
"Of course it will be slow work here because we will have to dig the clay up, cream the clay with water, sift the clay, dry it and then mold it on the potters. All of it will have to be done by hand, but we expect to have machinery to do all the work some day."
"One interesting part of pottery work is that you can never tell just how your work is going to turn out," she remarked, in speaking of firing. The glazing and the firing of the pottery is being done in the basement of the Chemistry building and the chemical research is being carried on in the mining engineering laboratories.
Miss Benson spent eight years at Newcomb before coming here and is a very capable teacher of this subject.

There is a strong opposition to the installation of the honor system until after the examinations for the first term. We understand this to mean that the students are not opposed to the system itself, but that after working under the old system all year, they wish to reap the benefits it brings at examination time. Some are also probably not at all prepared for an early exercise of the honor system. Everyone can get a fair start next term and prepare for the new order.
Arthur Brisbane's statement that yellow journalism is the journalism of public opinion and responsibility met with the hearty approval of the local branch. They feel that they are vindicated at last, and they will in the future continue their work with serener countenances and clearer consciences.

To Editor of Kansan:—
KICK COLUMN.
The rapid approach of quiz week suggests the following query: Would it not be advantageous to both student and professor, if, instead of crowding all the quizes into one week, they be distributed over two?
If this plan should be adopted it would do away with the frantic cramming in the last week which results in all subjects being shaken together like letters in a box. A more thorough review would go far toward forming a lasting impression upon the mind of the student as well as securing for him a bettergrade. The professor, too, would no doubt find it more convenient to do a given amount of grading in two weeks instead of one. Don't you think so?
Overworked.
these Pictures Were Real.
Stanley Hoisington, a junior Law, has a brother attending the West Point Military Academy. During the Christmas holidays, while in Topeka, he chanced to attend one of the moving picture shows which was then featuring the Hudson-Fulton parade which had been held in New York some time before. The West Point cadets were in the line of march and as the color bearer for them approached Mr. Hoisington was surprised as well as greatly pleased to recognize his brother as the cadet who bore the flag. Nearer and nearer he approached and as his march led him directly in front and almost facing the camera taking the picture, the brother in Kansas saw almost a life like image of his soldier brother.
The little room in the basement of Fraser Hall immediately south of the "Kansan" of fice is being fitted up by Mr. Ralph Spotts and the carpenters for an annual room. Mr. Spotts, when interviewed by a Kansan reporter today, said. "We intend to have a big tabl in there so that the editor and assistants can convene there to discuss matters of importance to the annual. We'll have a typewriter and other things so that it will be a goodplace to work."
Sam Roberts and Ben Prather junior Medics in the school at Rosedale, visited University friends for a few days this week.

Strange Examination Questions
From New St. Louis
School.
Methuselah, the wandering Jew and Balsamo were ephemeral creatures and John D. Rockefeller is an impurecious person compared with what Prof. M. F. Knox, Ph. D., LL. D., of St. Louis can be if he wants to, through his discovery of mental science.
He delivered four free lectures in St. Louis recently, and will attempt to establish a college of new thought in that city, students in which, after a two months' course, will be in possession of those bagatelle secrets, the elixir of life and the philosopher's stone, or their equivalents.
Prof. Knox thinks at present he will exist about 10,000 years, but if he has not become tired of living at the end of that period, he will not depart this life even then.
"By concentrating his mind on longevity," says the professor, anyone can live endlessly. Deatl is unnecessary and the result of ignorance. Rockefeller, with his crude, untrained mind fixed his thought upon millions and got them. My graduates or I, with the same concentration, should succeed even better, because of our special education in mental science."
The professor is a venderable person, 56 years of age, with luxuriant, patriarchal whiskers. Because he does not condescend to focus his faculties on millions, as he teaches his studens, he sometimes passes the plate at his lectures for contributions to his college, Bryn Mawr, at Seattle, Wash.
"What about my white hair and beard?" continued Prof. Knox.
"They turned white years ago before I mastered the mystery of immortality.
"Mental science is not a religion and is not confounded with Christian Science. I discovered Mental Science and my college has been established 15 years. I have branch colleges in New York, Chicago, Detroit, Winnipeg, Bloomington, Ill., Denver, Butte, Spokane, Salt Lake City, New Orleans, Fort Worth, El Paso and Los Angeles."
When asked where he obtained the degrees which are affixed to his name, he professor replied proudly:
"I conferred them on myself by virtue of my presidency of my college.
A class of 57 was graduated last spring from the college, and all of them, according to the professor, can live forever and achieve the wealth of Solomon. "If they observe the rules I have laid down for immortality and riches."
Some of the posers put to the graduates to ascertain their degree of mastery of the new philosophy, were:
"Is a rock alive? Explain its growth."
"What is a woman?"
"What is a woman?" "Were you ever born?"
"Are there two ends to one stick?"
"King Cole" Once More.
"King" Cole received the unanimous vote of the Nebraska Athletic Board, in their selection of the football coach for 1910, and he will train the Cornhuskers at the same salary he received last year.

THE SMITHS STILL LEAD
MORE OF THAT NAME THAN
OF ANY OTHER.
>
Homer Hoyt, Aged 15, Youngest Student in University—The Oldest One Is 44.
According to the directory of the University which was got out last week and distributed among the students, the Smith family again carried off all honors and broke all records as the largest family which daily visits Mount Oread. Closely following come the families of Johnson, the Drowns, and the Millers. Of the Smith family which attends the University of Kansas there are and curious as it may seem there are no two brothers or two sisters twenty-two boys and fifteen girls of that name.
The Johnson family is next in family representation with twenty-one, fourteen of whom are boys; and the remainder girls, and the same fact is true in regard to sisters and brothers.
The Brown family is close behind the Johnson, lacking only one number to tie it. Twelve of the Brown family are boys and the remaining eight are girls.
The Miller family is certainly doomed to bad luck for there are thirteen members in it, seven of them being boys and six girls. The Jones family has a very small representation this year with only eleven members. This family generally ranks among the first when it comes to numbers.
If he first part of the name is counted the Mes. undoubtedly carry off all honors when it comes to numbers, as there are twenty-seven boys and eighteen girls whose last name begins with Me.
The longest name is probably that of a girl, Miss Elizabeth Frieburghouse, a freshman in the College from Hiawatha. This name surpasses its nearest competing name, that of Miss Marguerite Frederick, a sophomore in the College from Bonner Springs, by three letters.
For the shortest name there are a number of people tied for that place, all of them boys, with seven letters to their name. They are Fred Apt, John Ise and Lee Judy.
The oldest person enrolled in the University this year is Mrs. Nellie Terrill, who is enrolled as a special in the college. She is forty-four years old and has three daughters, all of them older than the youngest person in the University. This family is also as large as any one on the hill with four members attending the University.
The youngest person enrolled is Homer Hoyt, a freshman from Argentine, who was only 15 last June. He is taking elementary Greek, calculus, Horace and other freshman required subjects. In an interview with a reporter for the Kansan he said, "I don't think it unusual that a 15-year-old boy should be in college. I have pursued my studies yearly since I entered school and last year when I was graduated from the Kansas City, Kan. high school I ranked second."
The Senior Laws awarded Squires their annual picture, which will hang in Green Hall. This makes the ninth year in succession that he has taken this picture, which speaks well for the work done by Squires. Chili and tamale at Vic's.
STUDYING JOURNALISM.
How One Young Reporter Got a Good Story.
Senator Beveridge, at the Gridiron club's last dinner in Washington, amused his neighbors during the terrapin course with his witty praise of journalism.
"These modern schools of journalism are very good," said Senator Beveridge. "They inculcate enterprise, daring, perseverance, resource. But let me tell you about my friend Mack.
"Mack is in the secretary of state's office. He holds an important post there. Once, during certain foreign complications Mack worked forty-eight hours drafting arguments, cabling, consulting secretaries and what not; and at last, having achieved a momentous and advantageous compromise, Mack, thoroughly worn out, went home to bed.
"In the middle of the night he was awakened by the tinkle of the door bell. He put his head out of the window. A youthful voice said:
'Mr. Mack, this is a reporter Can I see you about the compromise?'
"Tired as Mack was,he assented. He put on dressing gown and slippers, let in the reporter, and in his cold drawing room he dictated two columns to the youth, afterwards having his dictation read over, and correcting it and amending it here and there.
"A long job. At the end Mack was dead with fatigue and his teeth chattered with the cold. He had, however, no regret, inas much as this compromise was too important a matter to reach the public in any incorrect or garbled form. No; Mack, having done his duty, did not mind the personal comfort that it had entailed.
'And now, young man, good night,' he said, with chattering teeth. 'You might send me a half dozen copies of the paper tomorrow.'
"'Oh, this isn't for any paper,' said the reporter.
‘'What?'cried Mack.
‘‘No,’ explained the young man. ‘You see, I'm in the sophomore class of the new Yalvard School of Journalism, and this is a rush interview with a leading statesman that our emergency instructor assigned me to this afternoon.’”
NEW CO-OP CLUB.
A new co-op boarding club was opened at 1108 Kentucky St. today. It will be made up of eight men. The men will work in pairs, the preparing o meals and performing the dut-steward rotating from week to ties of steward rotating from week to week.

The entrance fee paid by each member to supply the club with the necessary utensils and other supplies was $6.
Tom DeForest will be the first steward of the club. The following are those organizing it:

"Salt rising, bread brings time and lasting love into the home." Sounds like an "ad" doesn't it? But that's the statement Henry A. Kohman says the Capital credits Governor Stubbs with making in one of his campaign speeches.
Chemical Club Hears About Salt Rising Bread.
Kohman, who holds the national master Baker's Association fellowship, told the chemical club yesterday afternoon about making salt rising bread This bread has been in favor for generations, but it will not "raise" unless certain bacteria are present. Heretofore it has been necessary to depend for these on floating spores in the air, on impurities in the cornmeal used, or on unall these failed, and the batch of bread for no apparent reason refused to rise. Kohman has finally succeeded in isolating the required bacteria, so that now the bakers can be sure of getting a good quality of salt rising bread every time and under more sanitary conditions than formerly.
SPRING PRACTICE AGAIN.
To Start When Rules Committee Finishes Work.
Kansas will have spring football practice again this year. No definite plans have as yet been decided upon, as Coach Kennedy is waiting to see what action will be taken by the rules committee on football.
Missouri will also have the spring practice, Dr. J. H, Gibson will have charge of the practice, but the minor details will be left to the coach.
Talked about Bessemer Works
Clifford C. Young, who has charge of water analysis in the Chemistry building, talked yesterday to the quantitative students in Chemistry about the Bessemer steel work near Newark, New Jersey. In his talk Mr. Young discussed the works and methods used in obtaining the finished product of rails and structural steel. He talked, also, about the work in the chemical laboratory of the plant, and the rapidity with which determinatio are made. This plant makes the largest "I" beams for structural work in the world.
A ruling has been made by the library authorities that all books taken from the upstairs room on Saturday morning must be returned by nine o'clock Monday morning.

SURE ENOUGH LOVE.
Miss Stower and Mr. Verhage to Be Married Soon.
As a rule when college sweet-hearts are engaged they wait until they graduate before they get married. But this is not the case with Miss Alma Stowers, a sophomore in the college, and Mr. Benjamin Verhage, a sophomore in the engineering school, who did not wait until they had graduated, but withdrew from from school last week to be married. Both students are very popular in their respective schools. Mr. Verhage was generally recognized as the best student of mathematics in the sophomore class.
Mr. Verhage and Miss Stowers met through being in the same chemistry class this fall. This started the romance that is to culminate very shortly. Miss Stowers lives in Kansas City, Kansas, and Mr. Verhage in Cawker City. Miss Stowers is 21 years old, and Mr. Verhage is 22.

VOLUME VI.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 25, 1910
BAKER BEATEN AT BALDWIN
JAYHAWKERS TOOK GAME FROM PREACHERS 27 TO 21.
That score doesn't look like a walk-away and it wasn't. It took Johnson's men some time to re realize they were playing basketball and by the time the discovery was made Baker had a 10 to 1 lead.
Captain Johnson's men returned from Baldwin with another victory on the string. The Methodists fell before them in the second game by a 27 to 21 score.
Things looked mighty bad for a time, but the fifteen rooters who went with the team, Rock Chalked, Hamilton said things, Captain Johnson snapped his fingers and snarled signals and then the home athletes began to use team work. They hit the baskets and the result was that at the end of the first half the score stood Kansas 14, Baker 11.
The second half was marked by great team work by the home lads and such fine guarding that the Methodists became desperate and began to shoot for goals from the middle of the court. They had just scored two baskets on long throws when the game ended.
The Methodists Had a 10 to 1 Lead, But Lost at Last-"Referee's Fault"-Baker.
Captain Johnson and Martin-dell did the best work for K. U., while W. Counts starred for Baker.
The Baldwin people were generally dissatisfied with Referee Fisher and threatened to get him.
The score:
K. U. 27. Goals. Fouls. F. T.

PAN-HELLENIC SMOKER
Annual Greek Event on the Fifth of February.
At a meeting of the Pan-Hellenic council held the first of the week, final arrangements were made for the annual Pan-Hellenic smoker to be held in the hall over the Democrat office on the evening of February 5. Fraternity men in the faculty and all members of general fraternities which do not have chapters in the University will be invited to attend.
The same as at last year's smoker, the different fraternities will put on 'stunts' for entertainment. In addition to the usual vaudeville acts, two wrestling bouts will be staged. The participants in these events will be fraternity men. If two men can be found among the fraternities who are willing to participate, a boxing match will be arranged for.
TEACHING FELLOWSHIPS.
NUMBER 47
Graduates Have Opportunity to Make Good.
In addition to the scholarship fellowships offered by the University to graduates of various colleges in the state there are also thirteen teaching fellowships for the year 1910-11 offered by the University of Kansas which yield $280 per year each. They are open to the graduates of this institution as well as to those of colleges and universities of recognized standing.
For the year 1910-11, one fellowship is offered in each of the following subjects: German, mathematics, education, sociology and economics, romance languages English language and literature, chemistry, American history, European history, botany, philosophy, zoology, and Latin.
'AT "CHILDREN'S HOUR.'
Students of Expression Department in Popular Work.
All applications must be sent to the Chancellor's office before March 15, 1910. Blank applications for these fellowships may be secured from the Chancellor.
Frank Ward, sophomore College, was at his home in Kansas City over Saturday and Sunday.
A popular feature of the Lawrence city library is the "Children's hour" every Saturday afternoon, when the children gather to hear stories told. Miss Vedo Walker of the department of expression has been put in charge of the children's hour. A student of the department is on the program to tell a story at each session. Miss Winifred Van Vliet told a story for the children last Saturday.
HILL CLIMBING NOT HEALTHFUL
DR. NAISMITH EXPLODES SOME PREVALENT IDEAS.
After All K. U. Football Men Are Not Developed Scaling Mt. Oread.
"I have been greatly amused at the idea that is prevalent among the students that the hill contributes greatly towards the health of the students," said Dr Naismith, to his hygiene class Monday. "Now I do not mean to say that this is absolutely wrong for we do get many advantages from the hill. If we all lived on the hill it would be all right. The trouble is that we eat a hearty breakfast and rush up the hill make an 8 o'clock class, or eat a hearty dinner and hurry to a 1:30 class. For when the food is taken into the stomach the tissues are gorged with blood in order to digest the food, and when we walk rapidly up the hill this blood is drawn from the stomach to the muscles of locomotion, leaving the food in an undigested condition."
When one of the students remarked that after a student reached his class he took no more exercise and the blood would return again to the stomach, Dr. Naismith replied: "No the blood does not return to the stomach. When you are in class you use your brain and the blood is carried to it. If it is not carried to your brain there is a tendency for you to become drowsy through the fact that the brain is clamoring for it. This is explains why you are so sleepy in a 1:36 class."
When Dr. Naismith first came here he found that the average heart beat of the students was 96. He was greatly puzzled until he found that this very high average was caused by the exertion of climbing the hill.
Three Men Elected to Kansan Staff.
NEW BOARD MEMBERS.
At the regular meeting of the Kansan board yesterday morning three new board members were elected. They are Carl Cannon of Smith Center; J. E. Miller of Marysville; and William E. Hamner of Kansas City, Mo. These three men have been in the tryout for some time and did the best work of those entered. Miller is a senior College, Cannon is a Sophomore College and Hamner is a junior law.

QUESTION WAS ACCEPTED
Tryouts for Missouri Team Will be Held on Feb 15.
That the income tax is a desirable means of raising revenue within the state is the question submitted by Missouri University for the annual debate with the University of Kansas.The proposition was formally accepted by the debating council at its meeting last evening but the side of the question was not decided upon.
The first tryout for the Missouri team will be held February 15. Those intending to enter this contest should give their names to some member of the debating council or to Professor W. E. Higgins.
EXCEL INTELLECTUALLY.
Prof. W. H. Carrath spoke in chapel this morning in regard to the claims of scholarship which he believes too often do not bulk large enough in the ambitions of the students. Far from the first among the ideals cherished by the student is the ambition to excel in intellectual pursuits.
So Said Prof. Carruth in Chapel This Morning.
To give a concrete example Professor Carruth contrasted the fact that no public demonstration was made upon the return to the University of the first Rhodes scholar from Kansas with the celebration of athletic events. Professor Carruth by no means deprecated the value of physical development and the importance of athletics, but he does not wish an over-emphasis of the spectacular advertisements of the University. He believes that genuine scholarship must in the end be the best recommendation for the school.
Professor Carruth recognized that the reward for scholarship in its nature must usually be unassuming, but he clearly presented the satisfaction that the student may have without regard to the world. The master minds of the ages are open through books. Furthermore, the habits and astes of the scholar secure him rewards at slight expense and throughout life. In closing Professor Carruth administered something of a rebuke to platform speakers whose utterances are calculated to belittle intellectual attainments by urging the value of social intercourse.
Maude Zoellner, a sophomore in the School of Fine Arts, spent the week-end at her home in Tonganoxie.
SHELDON HERE FOR THE WEEK
THE TOPEKA MINISTER TO SPEAK OFTEN.
Is the Author of "In His Steps"
—At Y. M. C. A. Meeting
Tonight.
Dr. Charles M. Sheldon, the famous Topeka author, preacher and lecturer, began his week at the University by reading one of his story sermons at 4:30 in the chapel this afternoon. He will speak at chapel exercises tomorrow, Thursday and Friday morning and also at the vesper services at 4 o'clock Sunday aftrenoon.
He will speak tonight at 6:45 at Myers hall when the regular weekly Y. M. C. A. meeting will be held instead of on Thursday. Dr. Sheldon will also speak to the girls at the regular Y. W. C. A. meeting at 4:45 Wednesday afternoon. At 4:30 Friday afternoon he will deliver his second story sermon. As a writer of religious stories Dr. Charles M. Sheldon has secured a world-wide reputation. His book "In His Steps," has been translated into more languages than any book ever written other than the Bible. As a lecturer Dr. Sheldon has also been much sought after. He has but recently returned from a New England trip, during which he lectured at a conference at Bangor, Me., and also at Providence, R. I.
Beginning tomorrow morning after chapel, Dr. Sheldon will have office hours in Myers hall, to talk with any students who wish to see him. He is in close touch and in hearty sympathy with student life as those students learned who talked with him last year.
HIT THE GRIT.
Fifteen Students Save Thirty Two Cents Apiece.
People may rave about the plutocrats at the University but when fifteen men walk sixteen miles to save thirty-two cents apiece, surely this theory is disproved.
The gentlemen in question went to Baldwin to the basket-ball game Saturday night and after the affair was over took the cinder path for home.
At exactly 11 o'clock p. m. Otto Apollo and 'Buck" Gephard led the grand march out of Preacher-town, and at 3:50 Otto headed the procession into Lawrence, while "Gep" puffed along in the rear. As a result several men have been excused from gym classes because of blisters and stiff knees.

To Sir Light Finger, who one day last week,
But red-hot hats you'll wear through purgatory.
I say this much at least; you now may glory,
From Fraser took my hat and made a sneak.
On Losing a Derby.
That battered katy left me in mine's stead.
Covers my collar, let alone my head.
Ye Gods! I heard a dozen fellows call.
"Vat pays you for old clodings, Leaventhal?"
Rather would I a hatless Harry be,
Than wear that mouldy ruin left to me.
Wretch! Would that I had power to make you go
Straw-hatted through eternal months of snow.
S'blood; revenge I will this trick most scurvy,
Till then adieu.
Yours,
Antiquated Derby.

I would suggest that the Student council divide the $30 which the cheer leader turned over to them, among themselves so that they might get down to work and really do some good.
WILL GIVE PARTIES.
A CONTRIBUTOR.
Freshmen Are to Entertain— Dates Later.
Will Erwin, chairman of the social committee of the freshmen class, announced today that the freshmen will give, the same as the other classes, two or three parties this spring. As yet no dates have been set but arrangements will be made in ample time to make the parties a success.
The freshmen have given but one party this year and were fortunate in losing no money on it. Each of the classes which are now in debt from their parties, lost money their first year and have never made up the loss.

HAT HUNG HIGH.
Pessimist Rebukes .College Men for Child's Play.
"That there is a crowd of vandals in the College is now evident. Yesterday a crowd of young gentlemen were gathered about the south bulletin board in Fraser hall, laughing boisterously. A man's brown stiff hat was nailed high up on the board bearing the sign, "Found—A Derby." Of course the hat had been found, but the owner probably knew where he had left it. Well, this was only a joke, and who cares for a derby hat when there is fun to be had at its expense?"
The author of the above effusion is unknown to the Kansan, but the hat,it might be explained belonged to the editor.
Series of Medical Lectures.
Tonight the first of a series of medical lectures will be given by Dr. E. J. Blair of Lawrence, at the Christian church. The Douglas County Medical association has been asked by the ministers ofLawrence to bring hygienic and other important subjects of a medical nature before the attention of the people in this manner. Dr. Blair's subject will be "The Mind and Body." Drs. Schorer and Chambers will add to the discussion of the paper.
Eligibility Has Been Determined
It was decided at a meeting of the program committee of the junior class just who will be eligible to the Prom: first, all seniors; second, all juniors, outsiders and underclassmen accompanied by a junior or a senior, middle laws, sophomore medies and 2-year pharmacies. The committee also decided that all dates must be in by March 1 and the sooner the better. The date of the Prom is April 29.
The agitation for the honor system was taken up last week by the K. K. club and made an issue for the next semester. The sophomore reporting class is discussing it from the view point of the editorial writer, and Professor Davis' oral discourse classes are working up ten-minute speeches on the question.
A new bulletin was put up this morning in Fraser hall at the south side of the public door of the Registrar's office. There the names and classifications of the students as they will appear in the catalogue will be posted for the students to inspect and if necessary, hand in corrections.

FELLOWSHIPS TO KANSAS GRADS
1
TEN COLLEGES MAY RECOMMEND CANDIDATES.
Graduate School to Award Funds to Students of High Scholarship.
In order to promote advanced study in the state of Kansas, the University of Kansas will award ten fellowships of $280 each to each of ten Kansas colleges for the academic year of 1910-11 and each year thereafter, these to take the place of the research fellowships of $500 established last year. The Kansas colleges to which such fellowships are open for the year 1910-11 are Baker University, Bethany College, Emporia College, Fairmount College, Friends University, MePherson College, Midland College Ottawa University, Southwest Kansas College, and Washburn College. This list is subject to change each year by the administrative committee of the Graduate School after consultation with the committee of visitation of colleges.
Candidates for fellowships are to be nominated by the faculties of said colleges, from the classes graduating in June before the September when they are to enter upon their fellowships. Candidates for the first fellowships shall therefore be from the classes of 1910. In case there are no satisfactory candidates from the classes referred to, candidates may be nominated from other graduating classes. It is understood that the candidate shall be from among those attaining high scholarship in their respective classes.
On or before the 15th of April, 1910, the president of the college receiving the fellowship shall send the name of the candidates nominated by the faculty of the college or its committee, with a statement of his qualifications, to the dean of the graduate School of the University of Kansas.
The candidate's application will be considered by the administrative committee of the Graduate School as in case of other fellowships, and if satisfactory, he will be recommended to the Board of Regents for election. A fellow so elected may choose his work in accordance with the rules of the Graduate School, in any of the departments offering graduate work in the Graduate School.
Each fellow may be called upon to teach or render other equivalent services for not more than two hours per week in the department in which he chooses his major work, and shall pay the regular University fees out of his fellowship fund.
Norman Hackett Tonight.
Norman Hackett, whose interesting lecture last year on the home and haunts of Shakspere will be remembered by many of the students, this evening at the Bowersoek in "Classmates." The play is an interesting example of the modern American drama and offers great scope in its shift from cadet life at West Point to the thrilling scenes in the South American jungle. It is based on an actual occurrence of a few years ago when a party of engineers rescued a lost comrade. Mr. Hackett is a University of Michigan man and is at his happiest in playing to students.
Miss Georgia Beard '06, visited over Sunday with friends in the city. Miss Beard is at her home in Highland, this year.

HAMILTON HAS 68 MEN AT WORK NOW.
If Every Man Will Do His Duty We Have Some Chance for a Track Team, Says the Coach.
Coach Hamilton says, "If every man will do his duty we have a chance for a winning track team. At this stage of proceedings that is about all that can be said.
Last year the 'Varsity went to Kansas City with hopes almost as rosy as on the late lamented November 25. Likewise as on that woeful day they returned much sadder and a little wiser. The score was, Missouri 662-3. Kansas 221-3—the worst defeat ever suffered.
When the Missourians came here for the outdoor meet and everyone expected to have the dose of the fifteenth of March repeated. Dope failed again. Kansas won, $64\frac{1}{2}$ to $52\frac{1}{2}$. Later in the year Nebraska was defeated by 2 points, but a protest to the conference was necessary in order to win the meet.
This year we have almost the same team we had last year. Newbold, Myers and Cooley are gone. In their places we have a docen men who were on the freshman team last year.
Better than this, there are many men in school who have track ability that are becoming interested and coming out to see what they can do. The foot ball team is furnishing some promising material and the class meets have discovered several men of more than mediocre ability.
As soon as the present stress of work is over Coach Hamilton expects the men to get down and dig. He has posted this notice:
"The following men should att once begin regular training, both as to work and diet. Stop smoking at once. Report for practice as often as possible quiz week and after that every day."
"If every man on this list will do his full duty we will have some chance for a track team."
At present the coach has selected sixty-eight men who have shown up well in practice or in the class meets.
In the 50-yard dash there are three experienced men, Haddock, Roberts and Hamilton, who will be tried. Besides these men Davis, Grignard, Pettit, D. Davis, McKinnon, Rise, McMullenn, all have a chance in the short run. There are twenty-one men desir-Martindell, Johnson, Hamilton Smith, out for the hurdles. Stryker, Winters and French will take a chance at both classes of sticks, while D. Davis and Grignard will try for the low only.
If the quarter is not well taken care of it will be strange indeed as there are twenty-two men running that distance. Among them ae Striker, Baer, Haddock Voods, Cannon, Roberts, Kimbell and Rice.
There are twenty-one men desiring a place in the half. Badger, Kraus and Blackmar have had more experience than the others, but they will have to dig in to keep new men from spoiling their chances.

experience than any other event, Badger, Leslie, Allendorfer, Clark, Gruber, Kraus, Watson, and LeMoine are the old timers among the men that are fighting for a place.
In the two-mile there is a lack of material as compared with the other events. The thirteen men trying out are Emery, Fisher, Gruber, Larson, Nesbit, C. R. and F. W. Shriner, Watson, Belding, Carpenter, LeMoine and Murray. Andy Cummins, who broke the two-mile record in 1907 will be in school and will be a factor in the long run.
The field events have not as many try-outs as the coach desires. He believes there are many men in school who would have a good chance in these events were they only to try for it. The try-outs are: High jump, Johnson, Smith, J. Wilson, E. N. French, Wilson, H. T.; pole vault, Johnson, Wnger, O'Connor, Thompson A., Wilson, H. T.
DR. SHOREY TO SPEAK.
His Subjects Announced for the Week of February 14-18.
Dr. Paul Shorey, professor of Greek in the University of Chicago, will spend the week beginning February 14th, at the University, and will lecture in University hall every afternoon at 4:30 on the general topic of the "Relation of Ancient Life and Thought to Modern."
The subjects of his separate lectures will be "Realism and Idealism in Ancient Literature," "The Genius of Greek and English Poetry," "Jest and Earnest in Plato," "Lucietius and the Poetry of Science," and "The Civilization of the Roman Empire."
Professor Shorey will also speak in chapel Friday morning, and at the Sunday vesper service. His acquaintance with the literatures of all times and languages is probably the widest of any man living, and he is a fluent and pleasing speaker.
Dr. Charles M. Sheldon will address the Y. M. C. A. tonight at 6:45. This meeting takes the place of the regular Thursday evening meeting and all men are invited to attend. An opportunity will be given for an informal talk or interviews with Dr. Sheldon following the meeting.

TWO GAMES THIS WEEK
BASKET-BALL THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY.
The Aggies Will Be Here the First Night and the Terrible Swedes the Second.
Erged on by their success in the Baker games, Hamilton's athletes will take on two other Kansas teams. The intended victims are the K. S. A. C. five and the Bethany college quintette.
The Aggie team comes here with a record almost equal to that of the locals. They defeated Nebraska and trimmed Baker by a score of 61 to 40.
Of the Bethany team little is known, but the Big Swedes generally give their opponents all they can attend to in any line of sport.
WILL BE MUSICAL COMEDY.
Junior Farce Written by Best University Talent.
The junior farce this year promises to eclipse everything of a similar nature that has ever disturbed the mental equilibrium of a junior farce committee.
As yet, the members of the comite are silent as to the plot and story of the farce, but yesterday, after due consideration, it was decided to divulge to a waiting world that this year the junior production was to be a froliesome, Trivolous, mirth-provoking musical comedy.
In view of the fact that it is in charge of that George N. Cohen of Kansas City,—namely, one Moe Friedman—and that the remainder of the committee members are noted as musicians, actors and playwrights throughout the University, the production is sure to rival any of those successful musical comedies now traveling.
Mat Graham of Leavenworth, was yesterday appointed a member of the committee in place of Joseph Murray, who was unable to serve. Graham is well known as a musician and has already written several selections which will be produced the night of the Prom.
FRESHMEN TO RUN RELAY.
Challenge of Missouri for Race at Annual Indoor Meet, Accepted.
The challenge of the Missouri Athletic management for a mile relay between the freshmen teams of the University has been accepted.
Missouri has Wyatt, Catron and two St. Louis men who are said to be every bit as good as these men to hold up her side of the race. On the other hand the local freshmen have not a full relay team.
Coach Hamilton wishes every freshman who can run a quarter of a mile to come out for practice. If they do not, the first inter-collegiate experience of the 1913 track team is likely to be a sad one. The relay will be run in Convention hall the night of the Missouri-Kansas meet.

FOR ANOTHER FRATERNITY
PHI BETA PI MAY BE IN STALLED SOON.
Limited Membership of Nu Sigma Nu Demands Another Organization in Medic School.
Some times ago a small band of medical sents got together in Rosedal and organized a local fraternity to petition some national organization. Since then several Lawrence students have been added. They have petitioned Ph Beta Pi, a national medical fraternity, and their success is practically assured.
Membership in this fraternity is not gained entirely through attainment in scholarship, but is more like the ordinary social fraternity The chapter here intends to have a house, in which they can give parties and hold other social affairs There are two members of Phi Beta Pi in Lawrence at present Dr. E.H. Sehorer, of the medical faculty, and Ed. White, a senior in the College.
Ever since the establishment of Nu Sigma Nu, two years ago, Dr Sudler, dean of the Medical School has been in favor of another fraternity in the Medical School therefore the faculty favors the establishment of a new fraternity.
Phi Beta Pi was founded in 1871 at West Pennsylvania Medical college. Up till 1900 it was known as Pi Beta Phi. It has 28 chapters and a membership of 3,200.

On Thursday evening he will lecture on "Religious Architecture." In addition to President F. K. Saunders, Dr. Charles M. Sheldon and others in Topeka, the Washburn committee has secured other competent speakers from a distance. It is the plan of those in charge to make the Bible institute an annual affair at Washburn, as it is at the University.

THE EXCHANGE EDITOR
W. B. Taylor Lectured to Newspaper Classes on His Duties.
W. B. Taylor, exchange editor of the Kansas City Star, spoke to the class in journalism yesterday. Mr. Taylor said the University was to be commended for establishing a department of journalism because he believed that while it is true that only in actual newspaper per work can the newspaper aspirant acquire true finish, yet work in school shortens his apprentice ship.
In describing the work of an exchange editor Mr. Taylor affirmed that it was not such a snap as is generally supposed, since a wide range of information must be covered. All the other departments book to him for copy. The literary editor expects to find everything in his box on contemporary books. The society editor comes to him for New York and Pittsburgh news, and the telegraph editor looks to him for everything that is not handled by the Associated Press. He also supplies the newspaper "morgue," which consists of a file containing the pictures of every person, scene, building, etc., which is of more than local interest..
Through the hands of the exchange editor pass all the minor dailies which furnish the Kansas and Missouri notes. The instinct for news must be as strongly developed in the exchange editor as in any other editor in the office.
Mr. Taylor paid the New York Sun a compliment by saying that it is the most welcome of all the papers which come to the newspaper man's office.Foreign papers do not contain much of value to the exchange editor. The jokes in the London comic papers are sometimes reprinted, but the average American reader must track concealed humor to its hiding place before the joke can be seen.
Mr. Taylor is a graduate of the University of Michigan. He worked on the Kansas City Journal before taking his present position on the Star.
Mr. C. C. Young spoke in Chemical club yesterday on "Rapid Methods of Iron and Steel Analysis." In the laboratories of the big steel companies analytical work is almost unbelievably rapid, he said. For instance, molten steel is removed from the furnace and its silicon contents determined in fifteen minutes. Forty phosphorus determinations are made in one day, the chemist guessing the weight of the precipitate so accurately that weighing is unnecessary. Here a student in quantitative often spends two hours a day for a week on one phosphorus determination.

A REPORT TO THAT EFFECT IS ABROAD.
T. N. E. Dissolved Here 3 Years Ago—Authorities Surprised to Know That It Still Exists.
A whisper has been going around the University in the last few days, to the effect that the Theta Nu Epsilon fraternity will give a spring party this year. The Lawrence Daily World stated last night that the party would be given February 11. Inasmuch as the fraternity is not supposed to be in existence at the University, the announcement has caused a great deal of comment.
When shown the notice stating that the party is to be given, Chancellor Strong this morning refused to make a statement regarding the action that will be taken by the University authorities in case the party is held. He expressed great surprise at learning that Theta Nu Epsilon is still in existence here. He said he wished to get into communication with the members of the fraternity before the party is given, in order to explain to them the offense which they will be guilty of in holding the party.
It is definitely known on the hill that the organization is still in existence. Men who were not in school at the time of the dissolution of the chapter here are wearing the pin. It is understood that men from four fraternities have been pledged this year. Every fraternity in the University, it is said, has a rule prohibiting its members from joining Theta Nu Epsilon. Since the fraternities of the University are on probation before the Board of Regents on the scholarship question, and the holding of a party by Theta Nu Epsilon would result in diserediting fraternities generally, there is no doubt that the influence of the Greek letter societies will be used to prevent the holding of the party.
The local chapter of Theta Nu Epsilon was officially dissolved three years ago, after a conference between the members and the Board of Regents. A short time after this dissolution a petition for reinstatement was made to the Board of Regents. The petition was refused consideration.

SEISMOGRAPH IS HERE.
University's Earthquake Recorder Came From Germany.
The new seismograph which the University recently purchased from a German firm was delivered at Fraser hall today. R. R. Kroeger, special deputy surveyor of customs, came up from Kansas City to be present when the large box containing the apparatus was opened, to make sure that the box contained nothing but the seismograph. The University did not have to pay duty on the seismograph.
The instrument will be set up in the basement of Fraser hall, in the weights and measures room, under the direction of Prof. H. P. Cady and Prof. M. E. Rice. Professor Cady said this afternoon that the seismograph will probably be in working order in a few days.
BAR ASSOCIATION MEET.
Dean Green and Professor Higgins on the Program.
Dean James W. Green and Prof. W. E. Higgins are in Topeka today for the twenty-seventh annual meeting of the Kansas State Bar association, which lasts until to morrow evening. Several students of the Law School will attend one or more sessions of the meeting.
At the opening session this after noon Dean Green delivered his president's address on "The Three Departments of Government." Tomorrow morning Prof. W. E. Hig gins as chairman of the important special committee on "Crimes and Criminal Procedure" will present his report on this matter to which he has been giving much attention during the past year.

New Members Were Elected to the Club
Except for the time given to a story read by Miss Grace Thestrup the regular meeting of the Quill club Tuesday afternoon was devoted to business. The report of the nominating committee was accepted and the officers for next term are: Pr sident, Flavel Robertson; vice president, Miss Amorette Weaver; secretary-treasurer, Walter Mayer. Upon the recommendation of the membership committee the following students were elected to the club: Misses Nellie Burnham, Ethel Luther, Anna McKay, Erinicine Clarke, Frances Wenrick, Gertrude Blackmar and Wilbur Jones, Edward Schaufler, Robert Sellers. Wednesday noon, the club had a group picture taken for the Annual.
THE MATERIAL HAS ARRIVED
INVESTIGATING PROSPECTIVE CAMPHOR INDUSTRY.
A Ton of Supplies Has Come From Jamaica for Industrial Chemistry Department.
Prof. R. K. Duncan of the chemistry department, received yesterday about a ton of leaves, twigs, soil, and young trees from the Island of Jamaica, to be used in relation to the possibility of growing camphor profitably there.
Prof. Duncan returned from a rip to Jamaica just before the Christmas holidays.
While in Jamaica he visited the 8,000 acre Malecolm estate and found that there were an abundance of camphor trees, some full grown and others merely started, and that the foliage was dense and rich looking.
Already some work has been done along the line of analyzing the material and testing it for camphor and the work has so far proved satisfactory. But as one of the men connected with the department said."The work has just begun and it will be at least two months before we will know anything of our success."
The Japanese are the only people who raise camphor and all of the camphor raised passes through government hands and in this way they make the prices and have a perfect iron-bound trust on camphor.
If the Jamaica trees produce good camphor the industry may be established in the southern states.
ADDITION TO MUSEUM.
Fish Found Last Summer Are on Exhibition.
An excellent addition to the paleontology department in the way of fish have been placed on exhibition on the third floor of the Natural History Museum. The addition consists of three fish. One found by Mr. Martin of the research department, owing to the lack of room, has been hanging over the window in the north room while the other two found by Mr. Martin's son have been placed in the cases in the same room.
These fish are a part of the ones found last summer when Mr. Martin and his son and Mr. Green of the same department went on an expedition to the chalk fields of Western Kansas. They are an even million years old, because of the formation they show that they formed in the cretaceous age. The fish found by Mr. Martin resemble the modern pike, while the other two found by the son of Mr. Martin resemble the salmon.
Brownie Angle, a sophomore in the College, has pledged Kappa.

"You will remember," said Henry Allen, last week to the assigned student body as he entrained them while all waited for the arrival of Walter Williams from Columbia, Mo., "that once in a while something arrives from Columbia, Mo., on time. On the twenty-fifth of last November something came from Columbia which arrived on time." With all deference to Mr. Allen, The Kansas believes he will not be agreed with in all quarters. Among the students and alumni of the University, for instance, there is a wide-spread feeling that the package which was delivered from Columbia on November 25, was several years overdue.
The Missouri basket-ball team will soon come to Lawrence for two games. The Tigers are playing a high class of the indoor game this year. With a bunch of new men the coaches have turned out a team that plays like veterans. The comparative scores of the Kansas-Washington and the Missouri Washington games would go to show that the Tigers and the Jayhawkers are about evenly matched. The Missouriians, being inexperienced, will come fast for the next two weeks; perhaps faster than Captain Johnson's men. Unless Coach Hamilton prepares for something big he may be slipped up on when the Tigers come.
What has happened to the oldtime student who carried his books to class in a cloth bag and in the deepest seriousness, looked through heavy eye glasses? Not many years ago this as the ideal type of student. He was a common sight on the hill, and was a real student. With his passing perhaps many genuine students also passed.
Bummy" Booth may be the Tiger coach next fall. That is very well. While Kennedy would like to be revenged on Roper there are a few scores to be settled with Booth. He is the same person who used to coach Nebraska when they had more success against Kansas than they have had lately.
Missouri was defeated twice at basket-ball by Grinnell last week. Grinnell also won the Missouri Valley track meet in Des Moines last spring. The Iowa school might cause some trouble if admitted to the conference. There
are not enough championships to go around now.
On the whole, a sanitary drinking fountain is a good thing. It is a rather unusual circumstance that makes it necessary to turn off the water in order to keep the fountain in that condition. to show httet
The time of the year has come when the student spends more time posing for photographs for the annual at the local art galleries than in preparing his lessons.

Much excitement was created in the gymnasium this morning because of the tryout in the pool of water games which members of Dr. Naismith's class in "The Principles of Sports" are inventing. One of the games that is being tried out is called "Duck on a Rock." A committee on general welfare for the class has decided on Adele Riche's summer hit, "Won't You Come and Splash Me," as the class song.

Good Music at Vespers.
The fair-sized crowd which attended the vesper services Sunday afternoon was well repaid by the excellent music presented. The chorus did especially well in the anthem "The Heavens Are Telling," which was considered by some who heard it to be one of the best presented selections which has been given in the city. The violin solo by Miss Elizabeth Dunn of Ottawa was also very favorably received.

Dr. Charles M. Sheldon of Topeka spoke on the "Missionary Spirit" at the regular meeting of the Y. W. C. A. Wednesday afternoon. He said that all religious life must be kept alive by the missionary spirit.
Dr. Sheldon told of his own experience with the American Indians. He says that the Indian is not dying out, but is increasing in numbers. There are 25,000 on the desert plains of Arizona, who earn their living by sheep-raising. The women are sole owners of the sheep, from which they obtain the wool to weave the Navajo blankets.
He told about the Navajo and Hopi Indians of Arizona, as illustrative of people among whom the missionary spirit might well be practiced. Having visited these Indians in their native haunts, Dr. Sheldon could tell with convincing reality of the strange superstitions of the Navajo and of the horrible snake dance of the Hopi Indians. In closing he emphasized again the ignorance and helplessness of these people and expressed the hope that helpers might go out from this University

Apropos of the American gridiron casualties, the Yale Alumni Weekly remarks: "One has heard much talk recently of the iniquity of American football and of the corresponding gentleness of the English Rugby. It is interesting, therefore, to read an account of the annual Oxford-Cambridge game, which was played a short time ago in London. The list of casualties would be considered a fairly good one for a Princeton or a Harvard game, but does not seem to have created the comment in England that the same number of accidents would have, if they had occurred here. One reads that Mr. Tair broke his collar bone, Mr. Turner had a bad concussion, Mr. Cunningham lost several of his teeth, and Mr. Gilroy was badly knocked about. In addition there were several minor mishaps. To the unprejudiced observer it would seem that the English game had 'nothing on us.'"—Corinell Daily Sun.

IMFLUENCE AND VALUE OF LIFE
SHELDON CLEARLY STATES HELPFUL TRUTHS.
With Concrete Illustrations He Presents His Ideas of a Useful Life.
The value of life in its individual characteristics and the value of life in its influence on others was discussed by Dr. Charles M. Sheldon in his Wednesday and Thursday morning talks in the chapel. To illustrate the distinct nature of every one Dr. Sheldon showed yesterday morning a copy of the marks made by an impression of his forefingers. As there are no two physical bodies just thesame, so each human being is unique in the greater life within.
This fact should make every man feel his individual dignity, not egotistically, but that he may recognize that his work can be done by no one else. True education will develop along all lines of life. Any abnormal lopsided development is truly a sacrilege upon the personality of the individual.
This morning Dr. Sheldon emprasized the constant and powerful nature of influence. Yet it is a silent force and can not be measured. However every person can determine the kind of influence which he will exert and Dr. Sheldon maintained four ways in which it could be exerted. First, every man should have a clear, positive conviction on life which he should give out instead of doubts on questions. Further, he should have a clear optimism in life in spite of a clear recognition of evil. Dr. Sheldon instanced the foreign missionaries as the happiest class of people. Every man should also influence others with a happy enthusiasm for service and a clear spiritual vision of the kingdom of God.
Dr. Sheldon will speak on the "Aim of Life" at the Friday morning chapel exercises.
Hackett Is Appreciative.
After repeated and persistent curtain calls at the Bowersock opera house Tuesday night, Norman Hackett, the star actor in "Classmates," made a short address in acknowledgement of the appreciation shown him during his stay here. He spoke with much satisfaction of his visit to the University last year, and said that it always gave him pleasure to play before a student audience.
For Professor Cone.
In order to show Professor Conde that they sympathized with him in his illness, the 3:30 economics class made up $5.00 Tuesday for the purpose of buying him flowers. After a sufficient number had been purchased a small balance was left over and it is now a mater of debate with the class whether to invest this amount in economic books or candy.

SEEING THE COMET.
University Students Take Interest in Astronomy.
Miss Glendale Griffith, a sophomor in the College, went to Kansas City this morning to do some shopping.
Are you "wise" to the latest way to evade the week-night date rule? It's very simple and so plausible that the warmest advocate of the girl's student council couldn't object to it. It consists of walking up the bill after supper to look at the Comet. Of course, comets aren't everyday affairs, and it is perfectly justifiable in the interests of science to stroll around the campus and observe them. However, the comet isn't going to be for long, according to Professor Ephraim Miller, as it is rapidly fading away to the northwest.
The comet, which is known as DeRake's comet, was discovered some ten or twelve days ago, at an observatory on the Cape of Good Hope, and was then lost and rediscovered a week ago at the Lick observatory. In six or eight days it will disappear again. However, that is no cause for despair among the astronomically inclined strollers, as the famous Halley's comet will become visible during April, and will remain so for a month or more.
Plate Glass Paneling Is Being Put Into Place.
MUSEUM IMPROVEMENTS.
The improvements on the museum which were contracted for last year for about 7,000, are just being completed. They include the ceiling on the first and second floors and the plate glass paneling on the first floor. This paneling is of oak and plate glass and is eight feet and ten inches high.
Above the paneling the space to the ceiling is being ceiled with compo ceiling. This is a wood pulp, covered on both sides with tough paper.
The ceiling, when painted, has the appearance of a smooth plaster finish. When the work is finished, the exhibits on the first floor will be entirely cased off from the lobby.
The paneling is being put in by the J. Q. McAfee Furniture Company of Garnett.
Foresters' Pay Cut Off.
Sixty United States foresters, who have been attending the University of Washington on full pay have had their salaries cut off by the government for the time they remain in school. This action was taken last week by Gifford Pinchot's acting successor. All sixty of the men decided to remain in school for a three-months course at their own expense. When Pinchot was chief forester he encouraged the foresters to attend university on full pay during that part of the year when that the efficiency of the forest their duties were lightest, arguing service was thereby increased. The new acting chief took the ground that allowing the salaries of the men to go on while they were at school was a misuse of funds amounting to graft.

STORY-SERMON TUESDAY.
Dr. Sheldon Told of Young Man Overcoming Handicaps.
As is usual with Dr. Sheldon's stories, the story-sermon which he read in the chapel Tuesday afternoon is founded upon actual occurrences. The story told of an accident to a young medical student which kept him from walking for the remainder of his life. The struggles of the young man against his handicap and his success in leading a happy Christian life is the theme in the story. At present the hero is living in Maine and carrying on a mail order business in collections of helpful Bible verses. Dr. Sheldon wil read another story at 4:30 Friday after noon in the chapel.

The Studio Jackson.
Art critics at K. U. as well as the students in general are in love with work of The Studio Jackson. Most K. U. people know Mr. Herndon's ability as to being original and up-to-date. Mr. Craycroft has displayed his work as a pen and ink artist to many of the students, which work has been more than satisfactory, and the combination gives us a grade of work far superior to anything to which we have been accustomed.
We as a student body will make no mistake by trusting to this studi
do, as we find by coming in con­
tact with these two gentlemen
that there is no half-way mark.

DISCUSSED SANITATION.
Sanitarily Engineers Hear Commit on Sewerage Problems.
At the meeting of the sanitary engineering journal last evening Prof. W. C. Hoad spoke on the "Sanitary Condition of Water Supplies Throughout the State." He told the condition of the supply in various cities throughout the state and classified them as to source and diversity of quality. In connection with the discussion of the water supply, the sewerage system was discussed and suggestions and plans were offered tending to better the sanitary condition of the sewerage system.
The sanitary engineering journal holds a meeting every Tuesday afternoon at 3:30. It is used as an open court where all matters relating to the betterment of sanitary conditions of public works are discussed. Professor Hoac usually leads in the discussion at the meetings.] He plans to have various members of the board of health and others who are authori- cation on health conditions, address the journal at future meetings.

Mr. C. C. Young spoke to the Industrial Chemistry class yesterday morning on "Disposal of Straw Board Wastes."

FOUNTAINS PLAY AGAIN.
Drinking Water Has Lost Its Yellow Tinge.
The sanitary drinking fountains at the University are playing again after a cessation of activities for several days. The authorities looked askance at the thick yellow fluid which bubbled up from them the first few days after the ice-gorge came into the river. They decided to turn the fountain off, for fear some absent-minded person, or one with defective sight, should drink some of the unwholesome-looking stuff. The water which comes from the pipes today is as clear-looking as usual. The lack of drinking water caused some discomfort on the hill, except in the chemistry building, where distilled water is always to be had.
Because of a violation of the University regulations governing social affairs, the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity at the University of Nebraska is prohibited from holding social functions until after the Easter recess.

IN THE COMET'S WAKE.
Halley's great comet, which will be seen in the coming spring with the naked eye, and is already making its mark on sensitized photograph plates in the observatories of the world, has in the past been held responsible for many strange, interesting and terrifying world events.
History records the return of Halley's comet twenty-eight times during the last 2,000 years. The following events occurred during or closely following the apparition of the comet:

Prizes to Those Who Can Write.
Students in the University of Kansas are competing this year for several valuable prizes offered for excellence in the work of preparing theses. A large business house in Chicago, that of Hart, Schaffner and Marx, offers four prizes of from $200 to $600 for the best papers upon certain economic subjects. The Mohawk conference of international arbitration offers a price of $100 for the best paper on the arbitration of international disputes. "City Government by Commission" is the subject, for theses to be offered in a competition conducted by the National Municipal League, and is also the subject for the W. d Bryan prize contest.
Mr. E. B. Cowgill, the publicity agent of the University, will leave soon on an extended visit with the University alumni all over the state. By keepink in touch with the graduates, Mr. Cowgill thinks he will be advertising the University in the best way. The University has alumni members in every county and they are nearly all influential men and women in their counties.
DROPPED THE GAME.
The attempt to revive interest in girls' basket-ball at the Univ-sity has not met with success. The junior girls have not met to practice basketball since vacation. A great deal of interest was taken before the holidays and the promoters of the game have been surprised to find that only one or two girls have shown up for practice on Tuesdays.
Girls Show Little Interest in Bas ket-Ball.
Miss Fish says she knows no better reason for this failure than that the girls are very busy and they can slight basket-ball better than their regular school work.
"Some of the girls seem discouraged. They have probably not recovered from their holiday 'lag' " said a girl "fan" today.
Whatever may be the cause it is likely that there will be no more junior girls' basket-ball this season.
Tells Why He Wrote "In His Steps."
The most famous Kansas writer on religious topics is undoubtedly the Reverend Charles M. Sheldon of Topeka, whose Story Sermons have been read not only throughout the English speaking world, but have been translated into many foreign languages. Dr. Sheldon will explain the advantages which he finds in the story sermon. Individual students are given an opportunity to meet him personally and to have conferences with him.
"Revenge" in the Track Meet.
The University of Kansas football team was beaten this year by Missouri, but there is yet a chance of doing something toward evening the score by winning a victory in the track meet which will be held at Convention Hall in Kansas City, March 12. The men who have entered in the various track events are making excellent records. In the Robinson gymnasium, a cinder track has been constructed so that in spite of bad weather the contestants may prepare themselves for the running contests as well as for the shot-put and the jumping events.
Will Measure Even Kansas Earth quakes.
An instrument to measure the vibrations of the earth is to be mounted at the University of Kansas. The importance of the observations thus taken is likely to be scientific rather than practical. At times of great earthquake disturbances the records from widely separated stations assist in an understanding of the phenomenon. Such records, continued through a period of years, will lead to a better knowledge of the causes and occurrence of earthquakes. The seismograph for the University has been shipped from Germany and on account of its delicacy will not be unpacked until it reaches Lawrence. A customs house officer from Kansas City will be present at the unpacking.
The members of the Quill club had their pictures taken for the Annual last Wednesday. The club will be allotted a page for a write up in the Annual,—a new departure for the staid and conservative Quill.

An informal tea was given in the rest room Wednesday afternoon by the Y. W. C. A. The girls of theUniversity were given a chance to meet Dr.Charles M. Sheldon and his wife, and Miss Maudia Thomas, the new secretary of the association.
The promise of seeing a comet of extraordinary interest has directed the attention of many people toward the heavenly bodies Discussions as to whether the planet Mars is inhabited by beings enjoying a degree of intelligence equal to the building of great canal systems may be seen in the newspapers almost any day. Professor Percival Lowell, who is best known in connection with this canal theory, will visit the University of Kansas, February 14 and 15, for the purpose of delivering lectures. Professor Lowell has spent a large part of his private fortune in erecting a fine observatory at Flagstaff, Arizona. He is one of the greatest astronomers in the world and is a brother of President Lowell of Harvard.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 29, 1910
VOLUME VI.
WOULD ABOLISH GRIDIRON SPORT
AT LEAST UNTIL THE RULES ARE MODIFIED.
While the motion to abolish the game, temporarily at least was lost, a motion was passed for a conference of the regents of the schools in the Missouri Valley conference to consider needed changes in the rules.
Proposition Voted Down—Maybe A Big Conference on the Subjet.
At the meeting of the Board of Regents yesterday a movement was launched for the abolition of football from the University until the rules are so modified that the game is not dangerous. William Allen White and J. Willis Gleed were the only supporters of the movement and it fell through for the time being, at least.
The movement was launched because the two regents think the game is dangerous, takes too much of a student's time, develops brute instincts, and leads to false ideals among the students.
As to grades, computations last year have proved that the average standing of the football players is up and above the average of the whole student body.
Chancellor Strong this morning had the following statement to make :
"I have felt ever since the end of the last football season that the game was in a very precarious situation in the country at large. For that reason I was very anxious that the University of Kansas should be represented at the annual meeting of the Inter-collegiate Athletic Association, held in New York city in December. The Athletic board quite agreed with me in this respect and Dr. Naismith was sent by the board to that meeting. His report increased my solicitude in regard to the game. I therefore took it upon myself to write personally to one of the most important members of the rules committee, to whom I had personal access. Among other things I said:
"The discussion at the recent meeting in New York city, and what I have heard in regard to the matter, leads me to believe that the football rules committee may not understand the precarious situation in many state universities in regard to football. I hope therefore, that you may feel disposed to urge the committee that its first responsibility is not to the sport itself, but to the individual students, their parents

K. U. AT LAW MEETING.
Many Graduates at Bar Association Gathering.
Lawyers who took their degree at the University of Kansas were much in evidence at the 27th annual meeting of the Bar Association of Kansas. Among the speakers were J. W. Green, the president of the association, who spoke on "The Three Departments of Government;" R. M. Anderson, 1900, of Beloit, who spoke on "Our Probate Courts;" Maurice L. Alden, '96, Kansas City, who spoke on "One Remedy for the Waste in Litigation Between Master and Servant." G. L. Finley, 1893, was elected to the executive council. Judge R. B. Gillett was a delegate to the American Bar association. Prof W. E. Higgins spoke on "Crimes and Criminal Procedure."
A committee was authorized to accept the invitation of the University of Kansas to entertain a conference on criminoligy, to be held in Lawrence some time this spring, to which shall be invited such persons as have had practical experience in the administration of criminal law in this state. Over one hundred lawyers attended the association meeting.
Cause and Effect.
WAS IT A FAKE STORY?
To blame the present college man for intellectual indifference in studies and disproportionate keenness in other fields is a favorite diversion. A comparison with the "good old days," when interest centered on the Valedictorian, and football captains did not exist, is considered a final indictment against college men today. The alleged cause is listlessness of students or failure of professors to inspire, neither of which so much as approximates truth. Mental activity and ambition are as full-blooded as ever, but they are being diverted from class room activities by a tremendous wave of public opinion. The magazine editor allows his choice of material to be guided by popular taste. The playwright follows the groves of current thought. In exactly the same way, the average freshman chooses the line of activity carrying 2most prestige in the public eye. He sees that the football captain is known all over the country, and that the highest scholar of the class is known to only a few. As long as public opinion is so furiously interested in the extra-curriculum, the undergraduate (by a natural though fallacious process) will exert his best energies outside the classroom.

T. N. E.'S SAY ORGANIZATION DOES NOT EXIST.
May Be There Is a New Frater nity Called Delta Sigma—A Select Dance.
A meeting of members of the Theta Nu Epsilon fraternity was held Thursday night. At this meeting it was decided not to give up the idea of holding a party, but the pledges were withdrawn from all men who have been pledged this year. Six men have been pledged to the fraternity this year. There are twelve men in all, now in school who have been pledged since the chapter was officially dissolved three years ago. Initiation has been held for some of them.
A. Stanley Adams, a member of Theta Nu Epsilon at the University before the dissolution of the local chapter three years ago,said today that Theta Nu Epsilon has not had a chapter here since the members promised to dissolve and that no spring party would be given here by that organization this spring.
Carroll J. Lord, a member of T. N. E., had the following to say: "I was initiated into T. N. E. at another school, and since I have been at Kansas that fraternity has not been running. The party to be given on February 11 is not a T. N. E. party, but a party by a body of University students. T.] N. E. has no chapter at Kansas at present. The fraternity is peculiar, since one man can take in any other man. That makes it hard to check up the members."
There is to be a party in Eeke's hall on February 11. The hall was engaged by the "Delta Sigma"—another new fraternity perhaps, through Ben Forbes, a member of T. N. E. several years ago at this University. The party is slated as a small select dance. Harry Kelly stated when he was in Lawrence last, that he had been asked to play for a T. N. E. party on February 11. He declined at first, but later made other arrangements. He will probably play for Delta Sigma.

CIVIL ENGINEERS ELECT.
Society Will Have Same Officers Another Year.
Chief Engineer of the National Tubing Works, Henry Miller, of Kansas City, addressed the Civil Engineering society Thursday evening in the lecture room of Blake hal. He spoke upon the subject of lapp and butt welding of steel tubing.
After Mr. Miller's address the society went into a business session and re-elected the following officers:
With General Electric Company.
President, Geo. Neal, Lawrence; vice president, K. F Troup, Kansas City; secretary and treasurer, Albert Learmard Lawrence; faculty adviser, Prof II. A. Rice.
Mr. E. L. Bailey, son of Professor Bailey of the chemistry department, was in the city this week visiting. Bailey has just returned from California where he has been inspecting the mercury are rectifiers recently put out by the General Electric company of Chicago. Mr. Bailey has returned to Chicago where he will resume his work with that company.
Post Exam Jollification.
The annual post exam jubilee will be held in Robinson gymnasium next Saturday evening when the end of quizz week will be celebrated in a fitting manner Committees from the Y. W. and Y. W. C. A. will work out the details of the entertainment and a rousing good time is assured to all who attend.
The Board of Regents at its meeting on Friday made a "division" out of the work of school visitation to include three departments: High school visitation, general lectures and school service. This action practically makes Prof. W. H. Johnson the head of a division and combines with his work that which is now being carried on by Prof. R. A Schwegler.

NOW THEY HAVE WON TWO MORE
AGGIES AND BETHANY COLLEGE THE VICTIMS.
Benefactors for Unfortunate.
On Thursday night Kansas trimmed the Aggies 46 to 19. The first half was real basket-ball and ended 23 to 17 in favor of Ham's bunch.
Miss Watson to Brussels
Impelled by a spirit of benevolence for the unfortunate, George H. Bowles, a sophomore, and George L. Stevens, a junior, traveled all the way to Hutchinson last Thursday and entertained the boys in the reformatory by pulling off several musical "stunts." The Honorable Frank J. Merril invited them. Before they return they will stop at different places to visit.
The second act was a joke. The Aggies ambled about the court in a befuddled fashion and tried to discover what the 'Varsity quintet was doing. They managed to glean two free throws because some of the locals slapped them on the wrist and asked them to help amuse the crowd. V. Long made twenty-one of Kansas' points and Captain Johnson threw three six field goals. Larson and Carpenter were the pick of the Aggie bunch.
The Score of the First Battle 46 to 19, the Second 47 to 22- Neither Game Exciting.
The freshmen defeated Osage City high school 31 to 3 in preliminary contest.
Kansas took the game with Bethany College last evening,but there wasn't much glory to go with the victory.
Miss Carrie Watson, librarian of the University, will attend the international conference of librarians, to convene in Brussels on next August 6. The conference will remain in session six days. Miss Watson has not yet made plans for any other European visit while on the other side of the Atlantic.
The second team started the game and lasted the first half.The score at the end of the period was 13 to 12, with Kansas on the long end. The second half introduced a smiling bunem of regulars who toyed about the court and shot a basket occasionally. Towards the end of the half the boys woke up and began to throw goals pretty regularly. Woodward played his usual dependable game and late in the game copped three pretty baskets in succession.
The final score was Kansas 47. Bethany 22.
The Board of Regents appointed J. A. Clement as assistant professor of education for the second term at its meeting yesterday. Mr. Clement is at present University fellow in philosophy.

SATURDAY, JAN. 29, 1910.
The students of the University are evidently trying to break all records this year in the installation of fraternities. Every week or so adds another Greek letter organization to the list. If this continues much longer it will take only a few years for enough frats to be established to care for every man, woman, or child that enters the University. They will all be Greeks of some kind in that glad day and the ambitions of all in the fraternity line can be satisfied. Then probably the "exclusives" will be the "barbs."
Maybe the T. N. E. party to be given on February 11 is the cause of the class parties being failures this year. The members of that organization are probably saving up all their cash for their blow out and cannot go to other parties. They do say that the T. N. E. parties are something swell and demand a good outlay of the hard specie.
The seismograph is here. It will be in working order in plenty of time to register the disturbances accompanying agitation at the University next fall. The class "bosses" must be cautioned in order that with some "coup d'etat" they do not put the machine out of commission.
Just after the University had nailed the story of the students having too many automobiles and valets firmly to the earth, there comes the story that T. N. E. still eists. There is always something to be put down, it seems.
The fish now being mounted in the museum are an even million years old. There are lots of fish younger than that, and some exceed that age. But there are very few of them whose years number an even million.
To Make the Whistle Heard.
There is some complaint that the big whistle which blows at 7:45 and 8 o'clock each morning can't be heard as well as it used to be. When the new power plant was completed the whistle was removed from Fawler shops to the new building, a considerable distance from student living-places. The engineers are considering the possibility of putting up some sort of a sounding board behind the whistle to throw its sound toward town.
KICK COLUMN.
Editor Kansan.
I see by the last "Kansan" that T. N. E. is going to give a party on February 11. I would like to ask whether this will be like ordinary affairs, or will they only have "spiked" punch and invite the ladies. If it is going to be a real party along the same lines as the ordinary T. N. E. affairs that we hear about, the Medic students will have a great chance to witness about 15 cases of delirium tremens next day.
MEDIC.
Will Address Students' Guild.
Dr. Naptali Luceock, pastor of Hyde Park M. E. church, Kansas City, Mo., will address the Student's Wesleyan guild at the First Methodist church of Lawrence tomorrow evening at 7:30. The guild has recently been organized and Dr. Luceock is the first speaker secured. On March 27, Bishop Quayle will address the guild.
All students having either membership or preference for the M. E. church are members of the guild.
What True Greatness Is
Prof. Dyche has won distinction as a great hunter. He has won distinction as a professor of nature history in the University. He is winning fresh fame as state fish and game warden. But what is more to the point than anything is the fact that Prof. Dyche's hens are laying and eggs are 45 cents a dozen. That is True Greatness—Lawrence Journal.

THE BELLS, BELLS, BELLS.
An Old Historic One May Ring for Chapel Service.
If you should hear a hand bell being rung violently in the main corridor of Fraser hall some morning at 10 o'clock, don't yell "fire!" and then make a rush to join the jam of your fellow-students that is blockading the stairs, or join the crush that surrounds the fire-escape. It won't be a fire. It will only be the old brass bell of other days calling you to the chapel service.
The new-fangled electric bells on each side of the chapel which are supposed to jangle at the end of every hour, won't always work In fact, the only time when are are sure to work is at 10:20 on long chapel days, when the imported orator is just warming up to his work. The University authorities have decided to bring out the hand bell on the days when the electric alarms are not working, in order to attract as many students as possible to chapel. In the days before the electric bells were in place, one of the duties of the guides was to ring the hand bell in the hall at chapel time.
ON OLYMPIC GAMES
Professor Gulick is a good speaker and an authority on his subject. He is the author of a book on the life of the ancient Greeks. He has taken special interest in the excavations that are being made on the sites of an ancient building.
Prof. Gulick of Harvard on Ancient Sport.
The revival of the Olympic games in recent years and the great amount of attention now being paid to them makes of especial interest the lecture which will be given in University hall next Tuesday afternoon by Prof. Charles Burton Gulick of Harvard University. Professor Gulick's lecture will be on "The Olympic Games." It will be illustrated by stereopticon views. The lecture will be free to all.

We'd Like to Know.
WAGE WAR ON CHINCH BUGS
Yes. He Knew.
A few days ago,when one of the freshman literature classes were discussing the English Budget,the professor asked one of his students what a budget it. "A budget is a bundle or package,"the freshman replied,as he smiled his self-approval.
UNIVERSITY WILL CO-OPERATE WITH FARMERS.
Department of Botany Will Investigate Efficacy of Fungus as a Destroyer.
Professor F. H. Billings of the department of botany returned yesterday from Wellington,where he has been for the last few days, co-operating with the farmers of that community, in making experiments with a fungus for destroying chinch bugs.
At the last session of the legislature an appropriation was made for fighting these bugs. The state has had little trouble with the pests for some years, but Professor Billings says that they move in circles and are about due to appear again.
Ex-Chancellor Snow was the originator of the method of fighting these bugs with a fungus. He did a great deal in this work and his last report seemed to show that the method was a success. However, the reports were not full enough to be conclusive.
The University does not wish to spend any money in a useless manner and it is for this reason that the experiments are now being made. One station will be established a Wellington and perhaps another at Cherryvale. The work will be under the direction of Professors Billings and Glenn Many farmers will be interested in this, the records will be closely kept, and the results therefore conclusive.
In carrying out the campaign against the chinch bugs the process is something as follows: A great number of the bugs are collected and placed in a box full of damp earth. The fungus is then placed in the box, the dampness being very favorable to it. When this fungus grows on one of the bugs it is fatal to him but before the bugs die they are shipped and distributed in the fields over the state, where others become infected from these.
If this system proves to be a success the University will infect thousands of these bugs with he fungus and then ship them'ree of charge to the farmers or he state.
A LITTLE OVERDRAWN.
Down Town Paper "Takes Off' the Fraternity Craze.
It's a poor student in the University of Kansas now that is not a member of from one to half a dozen fraternities, says the Lawrence World. Two students are said to have met on the steps of Fraser hall a few mornings ago
"What time did you arise this morning?" asked one.
"Why I was up at five o'clock bugging for a Final," answered the other.
"And I, too, was up at that time," said the other.
"Then let's organize a fraternity." said the first.
And straightway the went and organized themselves, and now they are in a flourishing condition. They have a dozen members and are looking for a few more that arise early in the morning.

RELIGION IS TRUE BASIS
KNOWLEDGE INSUFFICIENT FOR EDUCATED LIFE.
Sheldon in Chapel Considers That Work Is the Main Business of Life.
"The main business of life is work, the incidental thing is play," said Dr. Charles M. Sheldon, Friday morning in chapel, in speaking on the aims of an educated life. He began his address by defining education as the fullest development of the entire human being all of the time so long as he lives. In directing the aim for an educated life Dr. Sheldon said that a student should have a plan and he discussed five elements which should characterize the effort.
He first spoke of humility which increases continually throughout life. Every human being can teach us something that we do not know and pride should be entirely lacking in an educated man.
Dr. Sheldon's terse comments on work and play came in connection with his plea that the educated man should hold things in the right proportion. The educated person should be interested in everything in the world. However, no one should develop abnormally the amusement side of life, but recognizing work as the main business, each one should find happiness by helping some one else.
>
A man's attitude to the multitude indicates his idea of social democracy. He may view the people with indifference, disgust or avarice, but Dr. Sheldon submitted Christ's attitude of compassion and sympathy for every one as the proper one.
A
The educated man should make a response to the call for service Dr. Sheldon said that the world is sick and sore for service and educated men must solve the problems. In closing he emphasized the necessity that to be successful in his aim a man must have a profound religious basis. Mere education is not enough, for university men are willing to sell their brains for money and it is such who cause trouble to the federal government. Religion consists of a profound love for God and man and without this foundation the educated man may be but a shrewd pagan.
WHO' THE BRIGHTEST?
Economics Class Studying Comparative Intelligence.
The students of Professor Boynton's 9 o'clock class in the history of England are very busy today gathering data on the average intelligence of University classes.
This class was a bit sleepy Wednesday and the professor asked several members what they thought of the standard of intelligence in that class. He also asked them to secure some evidence on the standard of intelligence of other University classes
Those in this course who have been consulted are of the opinion that the economic history class is the very elite of University classes.

IS OPPOSED TO HONOR SYSTEM
ONTRARY TO LAWS OF JUS TICE, SAYS HODDER.
Find Two Glaring Faults in the System as Used at Tulane and n th eEast.
Is student sentiment ripe for an honor system or is it possible to start it at the University of Kansas? This is the question before the joint committee of the to Student Councils that has been appointed for that purpose. The committee has been trying to asertain the trend of student opinion on the system.
Professor Hodder in an interview yesterday said, "The honor system, as I understand it, and as I have seen it at work at Touland and in the East, is not practicable to be applied here. There are two good reasons why I do not think that it will work here. In the first place the pledge that the students are required to take that they have not received help or given it is fundamentally wrong and opposed to the laws of justice. By the pledge you accuse everyone of being dishonest until they prove themselves otherwise. My idea is that everyone should be considered innocent until he is proved guilty. Having the professor leave the room is another feature that does not prove satisfactory. Such a measure really puts a premium on honesty. It is placing too much temptation before that small element which may want to cheat.
When Professor Hodder was told that the system under consideration for the University required neither a pledge of the student nor the disappearance of the professor from the class room during the quizz, he thought that such a system would most likely work.
"The only objection that I can see to this new plan," he concluded. "is the inborn prejudice among the students against the tattletale. The only thing that I can think of to get around this fact is that the student would be required to appear before a student committee and not go to any of the faculty."

A Chart of Conditions in Entire State Being Made.
IS TESTING WATER.
Clifford C. Young, water analysis expert of the chemistry department, has been working on the analysis of waters from different parts of the state in connection with the state water survey that is being made by Prof W. C. Hoad, who has direction of the work.
Mr. Young said this morning that by analysis the waters of the state contained too much iron and manganese and that this was especially true of the waters along the Kaw river. To these substances can be laid the cause of the red stains that are often seen on porcelain utensils, and the like. These substances in the water also make it difficult for laundries to send back clothes pure white, as these substances stain clothes slightly yellow.
By the state water survey it is expected to determine the normal amount of these substances in water in any part of the state To Peka, Lawrence and Argentine especially are the towns that suffer from these elements.
The water survey expects to make a chart of the entire state, showing the percentage of these substances in the water. After the survey has been completed time will be devoted to perfecting a process for reducing the amount of iron and manganese. The cities that are troubled with this foreign substance in the water may adopt it and thus reduce the amount of iron and manganese.

At the banquet of the Kansas Equal suffrage association in Topeka last night, Professor Carruth came out for equal suffrage. He said in part:
Someone asked me recently when I was converted to suffrage. And I told them that I never was converted, that I was born converted. I have, during the past thirty years, written several long speeches defending suffrage, but I have grown tired of arguing the subject. For there is no argument against suffrage. The man or the woman who talks suffrage is a person of prejudices and of attitudes. In the masculine mind opposed to suffrage there are two attitudes which dominate: One of these attitudes is pride. Man holds tenaciously to the privileges which he enjoys and which are not conceded to the other sex. But the modern man who says, I hold the right to vote and I refuse to share it,' is like the Czar of Russia. He likes to consider himself the special lord of creation. And if woman enjoyed the privilege of the ballot, he would no longer be her superior, but merely her equal. There is another class of men whose attitude towards suffrage is one of fear. They, by what law the self-appointed rulers of the universe we know not, are afraid that if they extend the privilege of suffrage to women, that feminine nature would be changed. And it is their duty to preserve feminine nature." Then Mr. Carruth called Lyman Abbott and several others of the offenders of the suffragists "dear old grannies who have become liberal along most other lines, but who still hold to conservatism on the suffrage question." "But," added Professor Carruth, "no man argue against suffrage if he believes in a republican form of government. His argument is not consistent if he excludes any person, of mature age and of sound mind, outside the penitentiaries, from casting a ballot."

and the institutions to which they belong; and second, to the public in general.
The football rules committee will be entirely mistaken if i goes on the supposition that the objections to the present game are superficial and due to hysteria. The objections to the present game are in the minds of most people well grounded, deep-seated, and strong enough to endanger the game in, I believe, a large part of the West unless something is done to substantially modify the present rules. I should not be surprised to see adverse action on the part of governing boards of universities and colleges, and even by the legislatures in the different states. I am writing because it is often very difficult to get men who have been associated with institutions on independent foundations to understand the very close relationship and responsibility that state universities have to bear, which relationship and responsibility are so close as to throw a great burden upon the heads of the institutions. I am writing, also not as an opponent to football, but as its friend, and from much observation and some knowledge of the general situation.'
"All the members of the Board of Regents have felt disturbed in regard to the football situation. Some of them are much more radical in their opinion than others, but all have an eye single to the best interests of the University its student body and the state,and are trying to arrive at a solution that will be best for all. A motion to abolish the game entirely was lost, the vote being a tie Another resolution, after many changes and amendments which were inserted in consideration of the administration of the University and of its views, was passed So far as I am concerned, myself, I feel sure that a fair chance will be given to solve the difficulty of the present American game, and that football will not be abolished but some form of the game It seems to me that the right thing now is for everybody to give the matter full and careful consideration, without prejudice so far as possible, so that the question may be considered in all its fundamental bearings and the solution arrived at that will be satisfactory and permanent."

That Much Needed Paneling.
"The new paneling put in this week at the museum will serve several purposes. It will preserve the specimens, which, being in a separate room, will not be subjected to changes in temperature and moisture. It will also cut down the heating expense. Then besides it will keep out vandals who have a bent for writing their names on the goats' horns and riding the buffaloes," said an observant student, whose work takes him to the museum frequently.

Tetrazzzini at Kansas City.
Madame Tetrazzzini, the opera singer, will appear in Convention hall, Kansas City, on Tuesday, February 1. Professor Hubach hopes a large number will attend from Lawrence. About fifty students chiefly of the School of Fine Arts, have planned to go. Tickets can be obtained only at Jenkins' music store, or of Mr. Shaub, at Convention hall.
The faculty and students of the School of Medicine at the University of Kansas have formed a medical society. Meetings will be held several times during the year. It is the purpose of the society to hear papers and to have discussions on subjects connected with the practice of medicine, but broader than those treated in the ordinary class-room discussion. The lives of great physicians and surgeons will be studied, questions relating to the ethical side of the practice, discussed, and recent developments in the medical sciences brought to the attention of the members.

Defends Yellow Journalism, but Means Something Else.
At the first annual journalism conference held last week at the University of Kansas under the auspices of the department of journalism, the interest centered in the remarks of Arthur Brisbane, editor of W. R. Hearst's paper, the New York Journal. Mr. Brisbane did not defend what is ordinarily spoken of as yellow journalism. He condemned severely the publication of vicious and immoral stories. As he, himself, used the term yellow journalism it means the vigorous type of journalism which is actively engaged in fighting against public and private wrongs. This type of newspaper, Mr. Brisbane favors. He does not greatly admire what he calls the quiet kind of paper. He believes that it is the first duty of a newspaper to expose municipal or political corruption and to work for a fairer distribution of wealth. The journalism conference will meet next year at the University of Missouri.
