NEW BUILDING PLANS READY
BE FORMALLY AP PROVED SOON.
WILL
New Building Will Be the Center of the University Life of the Future.
After preliminary work lasting over a year, the plans for the new $500,000 administration building have been completed. They are the result of the work of Prof. W. A. Griffith, of the department of drawing and painting, Prof. W. A. McArdle, lecturer on architecture, and State Architect Chandler, Dean Olin Templin and Professor Griffith worked out the preliminary plans several months ago. Later their plans were submitted by the Board of Regents to the state architest, and then Professor McArdle did some work on them.
The architectural style of the structure is Classical-Renaissance its principal dimensions are; length, 480 feet; with of wings, 170 feet. The central section is 130x130 feet. The smaller sections on each side are 65-65 feet. The wings are three stories, the central sections four stories, and the intermediate section two stories in height.
The most striking feature of the interior design is the rotunda at the center of the building. This is 60 feet in diameter and extends through the entire four stories. It is lighted through the great flat dome. The rotunda is designed to be the center of the University life of the future.
The Board of Regents has not yet formally approved the new plans, but there is no doubt that this will be done at the next meeting. Formal approval of the

First Real Co-Ed Honorary Fraternity in School.
The five girls in the Fine Arts school who formed a local honorary sorority to petition Alpha Psi, were visited last week by the grand secretary of this organization, who said that their petition would be granted and the installation take place this spring. Alpha Psi is purely honorary and membership is gained only by those who excel in music. This is the first honorary fraternity in the University to which only the coeds are admitted. Dean Skilton says he is in favor of the establishment of an organization of this nature in the Fine Arts school.

14 GAMES ON SCHEDULE
BASEBALL PLAYERS PRE- PARING FOR CONTESTS.
Besides Games Scheduled, Others Are Tentative—Southern Trip Abandoned
Manager Lansdon announced this morning the schedule for the baseball team for the coming season. Fourteen games have been arranged and a half dozen more are practically assured. Work-outs have been in order during the past two weeks and the men will now be rounded into shape for the first games. The schedule calls for an equal division of at-home and foreign games. The first will be played against Nebraska on McCook.
Besides the scheduled games two are now in the tentative stage with the Baker team and two more will be played at some time as practice contests before the real season starts with the Haskell Indians. The "Aggies" will also be met, providing they agree to play under the conference rules.
The management found it impossible to schedule the Southern trip that has been anticipated and consequently it was abandoned.
Following is the schedule as given out today:
April 22-23, Nebraska at Lincoln.
April 15-16, Nebraska on MeCook.
April 29-30, Missouri on McCook.
May 10, St. Marys on McCook.

TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1910.
The University has had a tragic object-lesson in the danger that attends the "beating" on one's way on trains. Boyish zest for running risks and doing some dangerous "stunt" cost a life or promise and brought grief into a home when young Gregory fel from a moving train at Bonne Springs last Saturday. What has happened can not be undone, but others can at least profit by the tragedy. For, among the students of the University, the practice of "riding the blind" is by no means an uncommon one. Besides the trips to Kansas City and other towns nearby, which are taken as a matter of course it has been customary for some students to beat their way to places where University team meet those of other schools in athletic contests. The practice is even commoner at other schools than it is at the University of Kansas. At the University of Missouri there is a "hobe club" among the students. To qualify for membership in it, a man must "bum" his way for a thousand miles. Students of the University of Illinois, it is said swarm to the trains for days in advance of an important game at Chicago. With the occurrence of last week in the memory of the students here, it is to be hoped that "riding the blind" will never again be a popular method of travel at the University.
Today The Kansan is issued under the management of the new board of officers recently elected. The new board hopes to maintain The Kansan as the representative publication of the student body. It hopes to make improvements in the paper during its incumbency in office, in keeping with the improvements which previous boards have made. The men who have just completed a year of service as officers of The Kansan have pursued a policy of printing the news of the University openly and fearlessly. That policy has met with praise—a little faint, perhaps—in some quarters, and censure—unmistakably voiced—in others. It is the intention of the new board to continue that policy, in the belief that it reflects the best sentiment of the University public,of which the paper is the representative.
Last week was a compa rtively easy one at the University
with a holiday and two half-hol idays in which to rest up from the two and one-half days of study. Next week the students will have an opportunity to energize. With a Bible institute, a convention of representatives of accredited schools, a basketball tournament and a track meet, in addition to an unbroken study program, it will be a full week.
From reports that have reached Lawrence of the way in which the rules were interpreted in the recent basket-ball games between Kansas and Missouri, it is a fair inference that basket-ball is running pugilism a close race as the great fistic game of the country.

THE CREEDS OF YALE.
Episcopalians Now Outnumber the Congregationalists There.
New Haven, Conn., Feb. 25.—The class vote announced today by Yale academic seniors shows that for the first time there are more Episcopalians than Congregationalists in a graduating ela- There are sixty Episcopalians to fifty-two Congregationalists and forty-seven Presbyterians, with the other denominations scattering.
Daily compulsory chapel was lustily voted by the class, 206 to 23, who voted for optional morning prayer. On the other hand 133 believed Sunday chapel should be made optional, while ninety voted for compulsory Sunday attendance.

According to the present census, 1299 students are enrolled in English at the University. Of this number, 700 are taking freshman rhetoric, in which study there are twenty-three divisions. On account of the large number of divisions, the department is having trouble in finding rooms in which to hold the morning classes. One division recently had to be placed in the journalism class room, which has been kept open for laboratory purposes until that time.

HARD TO FOOT OUTFITTERS
CHAMPIONS FOR THIRD SEASON
HAMILTON'S MEN MADE A GREAT RECORD.
For the Third Successive Season Kansas Has Romped Away With the Honors.
The basket-ball season is over and the Jayhawkers are again the champions of the Missouri valley. This honor was won by taking 17 out of the 18 games played. Only one defeat stood between Captain Johnson's men and an ever-victorious season.
The best teams of the Missouri valley conference were met and decisively defeated. Any claim that the Kansas City Athletic club might have to the premier honors of this section was put out of action by defeating that team on its own court, and most of all, the Kansas state championship was successfully defended against the strong teams of Baker and the State Agricultural college.
The men who composed the team are men of whom the University may well be proud. They are athletes of the very best type and at the same time students of more than usual ability. Three of the men, Captain Johnson Woodard, and Martindell played their last game for the University Saturday night at Lincoln. In their plaees for next year are at least two men who have had much experience. Van der Vries and Larson played in nearly all the games on the trip and their work was of championship quality.
One need only to look over the scores made by the team during the season to see the work that the men and the coach have done to attain the position they now hold. It is apparent to every one that Kansas has made a long stride on the bright path of yearly victories. Following is the record of the team this season:

Seismograph Installed.
The seismograph, which has caused a considerable amount of comment at the University of late, has finally been installed. Just a bit too late to record the slight shock at St. Louis yesterday Professor Cady hastened to place the instrument in readiness. It was set up this morning in the north end of the basement of Fraser hall and is now ready to record any future quivering of the earth's surface. However the "time circuit" which records the time of the shock is yet to be added before the installation is complete.

CLUB WOMEN WILL STUDY
COURSES OFFERED BY EX TENSION DEPARTMENT.
Prof. Price Plans to Allow Club Members to Take Regular University Courses.
A new branch of University extension department work is to be taken up within a short time. That was he announcement made by Professor R. R. Price today and this time the instruction is to be given to the club women of Kansas.
Not long ago Mrs. C. C. Godard, president of the State Federation of Women's clubs, requested Mr. Price to speak before the state meeting,which will be held in Abilene next month. She requested that he present some method at that time which might be adopted by the club women in studying through the University. The result is that Professor Price has two plans which he will present and the club women will be allowed to adopt either or both of them.
The first plan is to offer regular courses, such as are now offered by the department, but instead of requiring each member of the club to send in written study papers the quizzes will be given through a leader appointed by the members. The quiz questions will be sent to that leader and she will be allowed to act as instructor in so far as the quizzing goes.
The second plan is that of furnishing references for material from which the club members may work up the papers they wish to read before the clubs. In connection with the references the Extension department also plans to furnish much printed material on the more common subjects of the present day.
Just at this time much material in the form of pamphlets is being sent to high school debaters on the Postal Savings bank and Parecels Post questions.
A PREHISTORIC SKULL.
Given to University by Former Student.
John M. Tufts, 08, examiner of surveys, at Neiligh, Neb., yesterday presented the paleontological department with a nearly complete skull of an extinct animal called Oreodon. The animal was about the size of a sheep and belonged o the ruminants. The molar teeth resemble very much those of the sheep and deer family, while the canine or tusks were much like those of the pig family. The specimen, although not rare, is interesting in that it shows some portions of the skull wanting in most of the specimens now in the museum.
Freshman Pan-Hellenic.
Two delegates from among the freshmen in each fraternity met last week and organized the Freshman Pan-Hellenic. The following officers were elected: John Frank, president; Dick Reid, vice president, and Arthur Spalding, secretary. A smoker and freshman pan-hellenic dance will be given during the first part of March.

To Revive Class Debates.

The selection of the question according to the terms of the challenge is left to the sophomores and the time and other details will be decided later.

BISHOP QUAYLE AT VESPERS
Noted Minister Spoke to a Large Audience.
Bishop W. A. Quayle spoke to an overerowed chapel Sunday afternoon at the regular vesper service. His talk was directed upon the quistion, "Why Am What I Am?" He discussed four possible answers for this question.
The first answer was, because of circumstances. Dr. Quayte admitted that circumstances have a great deal to do with shaping men's lives, but insisted that a man can be bigger than his environment.
By the influence of personalities other than oneself, was the second suggested answer. "Yes," said the bishop, "other intellects such as Browning, for instance do help shape our lives, but we have no excuse for becoming misshapen through them."
"I am what I am through my own grace," the bishop gave as the answer of the self-made man. He expressed great admiration for the self-made man, but asked "if all you are is from your own grace, how much do you really amount to, after all?"
"A life that is fresh and sweet is so because it reflects God," continued the bishop. "Our mentality and our 'physicality' (one of his self-coined words) are dependent upon God and it is only through God that we are permitted to exercise our own grace. Hence, it naturally follows that we are what we are by the grace of God."

TALES OF THE TRIP.
Basket-Ball Men Played Flirt, 'Tis Said.
The damsel seemed to appreciate the attention that was being bestowed upon her, but after a while Woodward tired of his task of vending the soft words and took a comfortable seat in the lobby. Within a short time his day-dream was disturbed by
Since the return of the basketball team from its tour the players have spent considerable time telling "tales" on each other. One of the best involves Woodward. It seems that during the visits at the different towns where the games were played "Woodie" acted the role of "fusser" more or less; generally more. While at Des Moines the team stayed at the Ellet hotel and the ex-captain spent considerable of his leisure time saying "Case" words, which he has learned during the past 23 years to the pretty little blonde who reigned over the cigar counter.
the harsh voice of the bell hop "Call for Mistah Woodward," came the cry and the Kansan was delighted to receive a large package.
With nervous fingers he tore it open and found a beautiful bunch of violets and roses. A card bearing the inscription, "With Love From Anna," was attached to the bouquet.
(Note—The flowers were made of paper and Anna was the cigar girl.)
TO CONSERVE RESOURCES
Professor Haworth Thinks Sub object Demands Study.
To illustrate concretely, Professor Haworth said that comparatively little that was really new in agriculture had been discovered in recent years and that the same was true in regard to animal husbandry. He urged that some scientific mind ought to be able to find a way to use the light and energy of the sun with less waste. When the power of the sun may be stored up by the humblest citizen, then the trusts will have less power to regulate the standard of living, he argued.
A need for a great invention to accomplish a real conservation of resources was presented by Professor E. Haworth in his speech in chapel this morning. He feels that within the last five or ten years very few discoveries have been made by which mankind can more successfully cope with nature. He says marvelous advancement has been made within a half century, but believes that in many lines men are losing interest and are failing to bring forth inventions which will benefit the world.
DISCOVER NEW METHODS
Miss Alice McGill, a student in the College, has been obliged to give up school on account of ill health. She left for her home in Hill City, Monday.
College Graduates Are Needed in Industrial Plants.
A Cleveland packer explained a new process of curing meat recently to a convention of packers. With electricity, he said, he could do in from three to twenty-five days what, under the old salt-pickle system, takes from twenty-five to one hundred and five days. The discovery came about in this way, says Colliers Weekly:
About ten years ago a man was testing out an electric motor, using a vat of salt and water as a makeshift rheostat. One of the electrodes in that vat was weighted down with a brick which, after the test, crumbled in his hand like dry cake. The electricity had driven the salt particles into and through the brick. As he was interested in the packing business, the experimenter wondered if electricity couldn't drive salt into meat. He tried it, and a great meat-curing plant has been erected in Cleveland.
As a sidelight on this packer's enterprise, this achievement is notable, but it is only one result of a policy he adopted years ago of taking into his plant every year two or three of the brightest young graduates of colleges and technical institutes he can get and turning them loose, to do what they please, largely, and to make suggestions for the improvement of process. It was one of these men, now superintendent, who increased the hog-killing capacity of the plant from about five hundred to more than seven hundred a day by eliminating the swinging motion when a hog's leg is hooked and the creature is yanked up to have its throat eut.
GAVE MONEY TO GLEE CLUB Mandolin Club
Mandolin Club Lost Membership in Student Enterprise.
At a meeting of the members of the associated student enterprise in Green hall yesterday, it was decided that on account of its failure to participate in the student enterprises this year, the Mandolin club should be dropped from membership for one year.
E. E. Brown, treasurer of the association, was instructed to transfer the Mandolin club's share of money to the Glee club on condition that the latter organization give more concerts out of town and one here to take the place of that which should have been given by the Mandolin club.
The tennis club petitioned the association for a share of the receipts, but was referred to the Athletic association. The tennis men did, however, obtain an appropriation for grading their courts on MeCook.
Prisoners Treated Well
Prof. Bailey of the department of chemistry, has an article in the last bi-ennial report of the state board of health on "Sanitation in Our State Prisons." Prof. Bailey tested the air in the mines and investigated the food and clothing provided for the prisoners, before writing the article. The report was ordered by Governor Hoch, who wished to discover what truth lay in the statements of Kate Barnard, of Oklahoma, who declared that prisoners from her state were mistreated in Kansas.
INITIATION MARCH 18.
Six New Phi Beta Kappas Will Respond to Toasts.
The initiation of the new members of the Pi Beta Kappa society will be held Friday evening, March 18. Owing to the crowded program of University events for the next two weeks, which includes the annual Bible institute and the meeting of the high school teachers of the state it was impossible to fix an earlier date for the initiation.
The formal acceptance of new members by the Phi Beta Kappa is a University event, not a socia one and for that reason is no postponed until after Lent. Six of the new members of the society will be asked to respond to toasts, when the initiation is held
Players Have High Grades.
}
While speaking of Phi Beta Kappa Sigma Xi and other organizations of high academic standing, kindly look over the eligibility list of the 'Varsity basket-ball squad. Not a man flunked, not a man was conditioned, among ten men.
Among the term grades for the men who took the trip with the team there are as many "1's" as there are "2's" and "3's" together. One of the men, "Shorty Long," has all "1's" for this term, and in his whole University career he has twenty-four, '1's' and six "2's" from thirty subjects.
It Will Pay You to Wait.
"I haven't time to even think of an ad, let alone writing any. All I can do today is to look over the acknowledgement of the jewelry orders I have placed within the last few weeks. Here I have word saying that all my orders are placed and that they all will be shipped soon." This is the answer that Broer Gustafson gave our business manager when he went in yesterday to get the copy for the customary add of Gustafson, the College Jeweler, at 911 Massachusetts street.
He then showed our business manager a model of a large K fob he is having especially made for the students. The K is made of polished brass. It is a block letter about two inches square. When you get one of these on a black silk or a leather fob it will be the swelled thing that you have ever laid your eyes on. Now listen here. Broer has not ordered a very large supply of these on the first order. However he will have enough to fill many orders. But to avoid getting left out, you want to watch when he gets the order in and be one of the first people to appear on the Hill with one of those nifty fobs.
Besides these fobs he is getting in a complete new line of K, U jewelry. Anything you might want in that line we will have new. Be sure and wait until you see the line at Gustafson's, the College jeweler. Adv

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME VI.
WILL SPEAK AT COMMENCEMENT
TWO PLACES ON WEEK'S PROGRAM FILLED.
Professor Royce of Harvard and Bishop McDowell Are Definitely Secured.
Two of the speakers for commencement week at the University of Kansas were announced today from the University office as they have accepted invitation to take part in the ceremonies of commencement week. Professor Josiah Royee of Harvard University will have the place of honor among the speakers of that week, as he will deliver the commencement address. Bishop William Fraser McDowell of Chicago will deliver the baccalaureate sermon to the graduating class. The other speakers of commencement week have not yet been chosen.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 3, 1910
Professor Royce, the commencement speaker, is a notable figure among the philosophical students and writers of the United States. He has been a member of the faculty of Harvard University since 1882. He is a graduate of the University of California, and taught four years in that institution before going to Harvard. Professor Royce is well known as an author. He has almost a full dozen volumes on philosophical subjects to his credit, and besides is the author of "The History of California," in the American Commonwealth series. He has written one novel which was published some years ago. As the first American to be appointed to the Gifford lectureship in Scotland he has won recognition of his scholarship abroad.
William Fraser McDowell is one of the best known of the bishops of the Methodist church at the present time. He has had a long career as an educator in both the religious and the secular fields. From 1890 to 1899 he was chancellor of the University of Denver. He has served on the international committee of the Y. M. C. A. since 1899, was president of the Religious Educational association in 1905-6, and since 1906 has been a member of the board of trustees of Northwestern University.
Spoke to Mining Journal.
Prof. Erasmus Haworth spoke before the Mining Journal Wednesday afternoon on the subject, "Value of a reputation for honesty." Before beginning his address Professor Howworth gave a short discussion upon the pictures in the lecture room of Haworth ball, and expressed a hope that the members of the Mining Journal would assist personally in increasing the collection.

ON TRAINING TABLE.
Coach Hamilton Hopes to Put Track Squad There.
The Kansas track team will put on the training table next week if the present plans of Coach Hamilton are carried out.
"I would like very much to have my track team on the training table for about three days before the Missouri-Kansas meet, which is to take place March 11, but I cannot decide definitely until the return of Manager Lansdon, who at present is out of town with the freshmen basketball five," said Coach Hamilton today. "At present all the men are in fairly good condition except French, who is depended upon to win the high jump at Kansas City. His right leg is giving him some trouble."
STOP BEATING TRAINS.
Recent Instance Should Be the Last, Says Chancellor.
To the Editor of The Kansas:
I was glad to read your editorial in connection with the recent fatal accident. The untimely death of Earl Gregory ought, it seems to me, to put a stop entirely to the thoughtless practice of students beating their way on trains running in and out of Lawrence. Such action cannot be justified on any grounds that would apply to a student in the University and for the sake of the parents and the students themselves, as well as the University, I hope that the custom will be frowned upon by everybody connected with the University of Kansas.
FRANK STRONG. Chancellor.
FRESHMEN DEFEATED.
Lost First Game of Trip to Clay Center.
The K. U. freshman basket-ball five dropped their first game of the present series to the Clay Center high school five at Clay Center Tuesday evening by a score of 26 to 21. The freshman played a fast and heady game throughout both halves and the outcome of the game was undecided until the last few minutes of play. Myers of K. S. A. C. referred the game.
The University Medical society held its regular weekly meeting Wednesday night in Snow hall. Dr. James Naismith told the members of some interesting experiments which he and Instructor Root are making on athletes in this school.

ANNOUNCE NEW SCHOLARSHIP
WOMAN'S STUDENT ASSOCIATION THE DONOR.
NUMBER 62
Will Hold Gala Day This Spring to Raise Money—Amount Will Be Over $150.
Although the details of the scholarship have not yet been announced the general points have been made known. A meeting of the scholarship committee of the Woman's association is being held this evening to work out those details of minor importance. The scholarship will amount to perhaps $150 or more and will be raised entirely by the efforts of the association. The money will be loaned to some sophomore girl next year and the association will endeavor to give it not so much for collegiate standing, but for actual need.
The establishing of a new scholarship at the University was announced this morning. It will be known as the Woman's Student Government association scholarship and will be given by that body.
The money will be raised this spring by the giving of a gala day to be known as the Kirmess. It will alternate with the May Day Fete and will be given this year the last part of April or the first part of May. Details of that event will be decided upon later.
ART IS HIS SIDE LINE.
Foreigner Has Unique Manner of Making a Living.
Although not enrolled in the University, William Schwarz, of Vienna, has excited a considerable amount of interest among the students during the past few days He is a graduate of the university of that city and is now in Lawrence on his way from San Francisco to New York.
The literary part of the Quill club program Tuesday afternoon consisted of a sketch by John Shea concerning a girl just returned from college and feeling the loss of her old environment Most of the hour was occupied with a discussion of the securing of manuscripts for use in the Quill magazine, to published this spring.
Quill Club Met.
Mr. Schwarz has exceptional talent in music and art, is jolly full of wit and humor, and when exerting himself is very entertaining. He has visited at many student clubs during the past few days. On such visits he sketches pictures and then sells them as auction. In this manner he is earning transportation for the remainder of his trip.
Another Pin.
The members of the artists' club met last night at the home of Miss Arta Briggs, 1317 Ohio street, and adopted a design for a badge. It will consist of a gold palette with three burshes thrust through it.

K. U. FURNISHED SERUM.
Basis of Supply Established in Medical Department.
Despite the fact that newspapers throughout the state have given the credit of furnishing serum for the cure of cerebro spinal meningitis to several sources, the University medical department is the only source through which any of the preparation has been distributed.
Dr. Simon Flexner, director of the Rockefeller Institute and the discoverer of the preparation, is considered the most eminent authority on the disease. Early last fall he sent a quantity of the serum to Dr. E. H. Shorer, of the University Medical School, asking him to administer it and control all the cases where the preparation was used.
The first call for the serum came last week from Geneva, a town in the southern part of the state. It being impossible to reach this station by direct train connection, the serum was taken to Ottawa by automobile, and from there it was conveyed to its destination by a special train. However, before it reached its destination the patient had suc cumbed to the disease.
SONG RECITAL TONIGHT.
Mrs. Wilson Will Sing—Prof Preyer, Accompanist.

February Weather Report.
In the University weather report for February the only measurement that differs materially from the February average is the mean temperature. This was not produced by any extremeness of temperature, but rather by a large number of winter days. The mean temperature was 28.64 degrees, which is 4.11 degrees below the February average during the years since 1868 that the record has been kept. The minimum temperature for the month was 2 degrees below zero, on the 23rd.

Rugby football, whatever its faults may be, does not suffer from a scarcity of press agents. The March number of "Success" contains a four-page article on Rugby by Henry Beach Needham. Mr. Needham undertakes to demonstrate the superiority of Rugby over the American game. He claims that the English game is not only safer but is faster and more exciting. Whatever there may be to Rugby, it is going to be hard to "popularize" a game when the players do not like it and the spectators do not like it. Why don't we like Rugby? Did any member of the student body ever see it played? Perhaps it would have less trouble getting a foot-hold if people were better acquainted with it. Why don't the exponents of Rugby arrange a series of games to educate the public? Then, if the merits of the game are such as it has been represented to have by its fervent advocates, the prejudice and objections which the rest of us have would be broken down and the football question would have solved itself.
The members of the University of Kansas basket-ball team are to be congratulated on being able to "come back" and for the third consecutive year carry off the championship of the Missouri valley. It was a remarkable showing they made this year, and all the more remarkable because the season failed of being an ever-victorious one by only the smallest fraction of a second. The necessary basket had been thrown—the ball was just going down within the ring—when the official's whistle blew and ended the game at Washington University. Thus the only defeat which the team suffered during the season was almost a victory, and does not detract from the record of the season.
The new national guard company which is being formed at the University is badly needed as a corrective of the stooped shoulders and sunken chests so prevalent among the men on the hill, which are the results of too great devotion to books. Eh, What?

DEMISE OF THE "SNAP."
Economics Now a Working, Not a Sleeping, Course.
The proverbial five-hour snap is no more. No longer will everybody laugh when you tell them that you flunked in economies—for now it is one of the hardest courses on the Hill. No longer will the economics students say, "I am taking 10 hours and economies." And it all started yesterday when the students went to class, and were assigned 500 pages of library reading. Those who did not faint at the shock were then given a 5,000 word thesis to write by the end of the month. Now if you ask one of these "economies" how much work he is carrying, he will answer, "economics and ten hours."

"THE ENGLISH BUDGET."
Professor Becker Gave Instructive Talk Last Night.
"If President Taft, Speaker Cannon and Senator Aldrich had to get up in congress and in the face of the opposition defend their tariff bill, one thing at least would have to happen," said Prof. Carl L. Becker at the meeting of the Good Government club last night. "One of them at least would have to have an accurate and comprehensive knowledge of a tariff bill, and that is something that has never happened yet in this country."
Professor Becker was speaking on "The English Budget." He made the statement quoted above to illustrate the English way in legislation. Over there when the ministry prepares a budget, a representative of the ministry must elucidate the bill on the floor of the house of commons, explaining and defending its provisions, item by item. He must be prepared to meet all the objections that the opposition can possibly raise, said Professor Becker. Therefore, all legislation must be above board. Nothing can be hidden.
"The English people are now having what they call a crisis, but what in any other country would be called a revolution," said Professor Becker. "An English revolution can be distinguished from ordinary political agitation by the way in which the people calm down while the revolutionary measures are under discussion. The privilege of 'heckling' a public speaker by throwing rotten eggs at him and trying to break up his meeting which is usually taken advantage of to the full by the opposition, is for the time being done away with. When election comes, everybody votes a little more conservatively than he feels.
"The present English crisis, while brought on by the provisions of the budget, is really caused by the revival of the question as to whether the lords have the right to reject a budget that is passed by the Commons.
"Their power to do this was supposed to have been taken from them in the seventeenth century. The question was supposed to have been settled until it was reopened by the refusal of the lords to adopt the present budget."
The meeting last night showed the club to be in a flourishing condition, as nearly every member was present. Three new members were elected. They are: James E. Grattan of Sedgwick, a senior law; W. E. Pepperell, of Concordia, a middle law; Chas Raymond Eyssen, of Independence, a middle law.

Company May Be Recruited Up to Full Strength of One Hundred Men.
“There will be more than fifty signers to the petition for a military company tonight, and I will then turn it over to Colonel Wilder S. Metcalf,” said C. R. Shiffler today. Mr. Shiffler is the member of the middle law class who has been circulating a petition to secure a student company of the Kansas National Guard at the University of Kansas.
The First regiment of the National Guard is now one company short and Mr. Shifler, who has been a captain of militia, was instructed by the adjutant general of Kansas to organize a company at the University.
The fifty signers necessary for securing the company have been secured, and in a couple of weeks the company will be installed, according to Mr. Shifler. The drilling will begin at once in Robinson gymnasium, with the fifty members. If others care to enlist, as Mr. Shifler thinks they will, the company will add more members until there are almost a hundred men in the ranks.
The recruiting officer is highly pleased with the interest which the students have taken in the movement. He thinks that those who join the company will be more than repaid for the time which will be required for drill
DEBATERS CHOSEN.
Marks and Perkins to Meet the Tigers.
At the final tryout for places on the Missouri debating team last night, H. C. Marks and R. M. Perkins were chosen to represent this university against the Tigers this spring. Frank Swan cara was chosen alternate.
The tryout was held in the chapel Wednesday afternoon with Professors Higgins, Bates and Davis acting as judges.
This concludes the try-outs for places on inter-state debating teams, but the dates for none of the contests have been decided upon definitively. There will be only one debate at home this year, that with Missouri, the Sooners and the Mountaineers being met with on their own grounds. The question of a tax upon incomes will be argued here and the postal savings banks system will be discussed with Oklahoma and Colorado.
There has been nothing definitely decided upon as to the time and place of awarding the prizes offered for excellency in debate this year, but this question will probably be settled in the near future.
The patronesses of Miss Gos sett's district of the girls' student council will give a series of "at homes," at each of which one third of the girls of that district will be entertained. The first one will be given at the home of Mrs. W. E. Higgins, on Saturday March 5th.
MANY KINDS OF FISH
Received by Department of Zoology From California.
The department of Zoology recently received a large shipment of fifty-five different species of fish from Prof. E.C. Stacks of Leland Stanford University. The collection contains specimens from Hawaii, South America, Siberia, Europe and the rivers of California, Panama, and the Pacific coast.
The fish are exceedingly beautiful, having attracted great attention, while on display at Seattle, last summer. The specimens will be used in the regular laboratory work in zoology. They are now on exhibition in Room 206, Snow hall.
Laws Will Also Have a Pin.
Although no definite action has been taken as yet it is practically a certainty that the Law School will adopt a pin within a short time. The emblem will be used not as a class distinction, but to distinguish the law students from students in other schools.
The committee which was appointed to select designs for the badge, and which consists of Frank Ford and George McKercher, and Herbert Stubbs, has decided upon a circular gold pin bearing the letters "K. U." and the figure of "Justice" with 'i' proverbial balances, engrav'd thereon. The emblem may be worn as a scarf pin or on the lapel of the coat.

How About You?
A very helpful invention for the users of eye glasses is on the market, and has been for a good while. But many users of glasses apparently do not know it, or they would have it now. For this little invention has made it possible for one to do away with those old spectacles that hurt your ears and those nose glasses that are always falling off. This is the Stic-tite nose glass bridge.
This is so constructed that it will fit any nose and will fit good and tight. No matter if your nose is large, small, flat, narrow or broad, this stic-tite will hold your glasses on in any kind of weather, in any position your head might be, and on all occasions. Gustafson, the College jeweler, at 911 Mass, street, has these Stic-tite for you at $2.50 in gold filled and $5.00 in solid gold. Adv.

HAS DISCOVERED NEW METHODS
CASEIN NOW EXTRACTED FROM BUTTERMILK.
E. L. Tague, Who Has Held the Fellowship for Past Year, Announced the Result Today.
Announcement of very valuable discoveries in connection with the manufacture of casein, was made by Professor Robert Kennedy Duncan, of the department of industrial fellowship, today. The fellowship has, during the past 14 months been in the hands of Mr. E. L. Tague, a graduate of the University. During that time he has been working to find a method by which he could extract the casein from some other substance that sweet milk, from which it is commonly manufactured.
The report states that Mr. Tague has discovered that case-in may be manufactured from buttermilk by a new method he has discovered and that by the
use of this discovery the supply which is now limited, will be greatly increased.
Mt. Tague claims to be able to extract at least four pounds of cascin from one gallon of buttermilk. Cascin is worth from 15 cents to 27 cents a pound. Thus the value of the new discovery can be understood at least to a certain extent.
Again, buttermilk is much cheaper than sweet milk and the value of the new method is consequently doubled. It is said that more than 40,000 gallons of buttermilk are emptied into the sewers of Omaha alone every day This total waste may now be utilized.
Casein is destined to fill a large place in the industrial world. Already it is used to a large extent as a substitute for celluloid and meerschaum as well as in the manufacture of billiard balls, in "sizing" paper and in mixing paints. It is also a valuable substitute for amber and tortoise.
in regard to the research work done by him.
Mr. E. L. Tague returned Sunday from a trip to Omaha, where he was for four days conferring with the donor of his fellowship
Mr. Tague will superintend the making of a large quantity of the substance, a part of which will be made here and a part of which will be made in Omaha. This will be the final step in ascertaining the profitableness of the making of casein from buttermilk, which is the object of his fellowship.
Miss Ruth Williston, who took graduate work here 3 or 4 years ago and who has since been teaching in Westport High school in Kansas City, will go to Norway next summer to study Ecology among the Arctic plants.

PREPARING FOR SUMMER SCHOOL
SIX THOUSAND CATALOGS HAVE BEEN ISSUED.
Many New Courses Will Be Of
fered—Three Weeks Course
to Be Continued.
The summer session is becoming of increasing importance each year as a great convenience to many people who can not attend the University during the winter months. Many of the courses are especially designed to present the latest and best methods to city and country superintendents, principals, and teachers, especially those having work of high school grade.
Six thousand copies of the eighth annual summer session catalog of the University have been received from the state printer and are now ready for distribution from the registrar's office.
The regular summer session course is six weeks in length from June 9 to July 20. A supplementary three-weeks' course will be offered this year in a number of studies. This plan was started two years ago in response to a large demand for a nine-weeks' session. It was continued last year and the number of students remaining for the short courses was almost double that of the previous year. The number of three week's courses is somewhat increased this summer; they are however, courses independent from any of the preceding studies with which they may articulate and may be elected by any properly qualified student.
Professor A. T. Walker is director of the summer session and as in past years, will have associated with him instructors from other institutions as well as many of the regular University faculty From the University of Nebraska will be Lawrence Fossler, head professor of the Germanic languages and literatures. The University of Chicago will be represented by Dr. F. J. Miller, examiner for secondary schools and professor of Latin. Two University of Kansas graduates who are now instructing in other universities will also teach. They are U. G. Mitchell, who received degrees here in 1906 and 1907, is now a teaching fellow in mathematics at Princeton, and Dr. R. E. Scammon, '04 and '06, who is now an instructor in histology and embryology at Harvard. Kansas schools are represented by Dr E. C. Wilson, professor of philosophy and pedagogy at Washburn, D. L. McEachron, dean of the College and professor of English language at Washburn, and Dr. J. K. Hart, professor of philosophy at Baker. In the list of instructors Prof. J. A. Clement is accredited to McPherson College though he has recently become a regular member of the University faculty.

COLLEGE MEN SUCCEED.
State Legislator Explains How and Why.
Hon. C. A. Case of Abilene, a member of the state legislature and a graduate of Princeton spoke in chapel Friday morning in regard to college men as business employees, influenced by his experience with them in the last ten years. He confessed to a prejudice in favor of employing college men because of the greater opportunities and training received by them.
In contrast with the college men who are not willing to begin at the bottom, he cited several who had thus laid a good foundation and eventually had attained distinct success in a business career. Mr. Case outlined the frequency of changes in some vocations thus making the success of the college man depend only on his fitness and preparation. A chance would come to every individual and upon his fitness, energy and honesty depended his advancement.

TRYOUTS FOR MEET TODAY
SIXTY YARD STRAIGHT AWAY OUT OF DOORS.
Hamilton Says the Chance for a Victory Is Small, but Worth a Hard Struggle.
This afternoon Coach Hamilton's track men are holding their final try-out for the big in-door meet. Every man who has shown up well in practice will be given a chance to show what he can do today and the best of the men will meet Missouri at Convention hall March 11.
The flooring that has been used in in-door practice has been laid on the cement walk north of the gym and the dash and hurdle men are doing their trials over the full distance.
Last year the team journeyed to Convention hall full of assurance of victory. They came back "trimmed."
This year things are different. The team is of about the same caliber as that of last year, but it is minus any feeling of victory.
"Track work," said Coach Hamilton today, "is the hardest thing in the world to dope out Everything looks rosy until the meet, then some of the stars are not "right" and you lose. Or all may look bad until some dark horse pops up and takes the meet There is a fighting chance to win this year, but the fight will have to be a hard one."
Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson pleased an unusually large audience at her recital Thursday night. By far the favorite song of the evening was "Fair Jessie," by Von Fritzel. "Mother o' Mine," music by Towne and poem by Kipling, received enthusiastic applause. Prof. Preyer accompanied Mrs. Wilson in his usually delightful manner. Mrs. Wilson played several of her own accompaniments.
Large Audience at Recital.

Sophomores Plan to Give Novel Prom.
The sophomores this year will allow the seniors just two weeks in which to recover from the effects of the junior prom before the second year students will extend their hospitality on May 13, to those who graduate—and, in accord with sophomore prom tradition, the affair will again be informal.
An innovation will be started by the '12 class, in the form of a faree. Don McKay, who is chairman of the prom committee, stated today that a faree had been written and by a member of the class, and that in all probability its definite acceptance would be made by the committee next week. Details of the faree or the name of the writer cannot yet be obtained, but will be given out next week. There are also a number of other novel features being planned.
FRATERNITIES TO DEBATE.
Greek Letter Representatives Clash May 5.
The annual inter-fraternity debate will be held May 5 in Fraser hall. The subject, "Resolved That the honor system be adopted at the University," has been chosen. The eight Greek letter so cieties have each chosen representatives to work for the honors.
Those who will debate are:
Sigma Chi, C. A. Parker; Sigma Nu, M. V. Martin; Beta Theta Pi Homer Conley; Phi Delta Theta G.H. Frith; Alpha Tau Omega Eliot Porter; Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Hal L. Clark; Phi Gamma Delta, J. A. Williams; and Phi Kappa Psi, F. E. Pettit.
As yet the judges have not been chosen, but will probably include members of the faculty.
E. F. CROCKER ILL.
Superintendent Had Attack of Paralysis.
Yesterday afternoon while at work at the University, E. F Crocker, superintendent of buildings and grounds, was taken suddenly ill. He was removed to his home west of the campus, where a physician pronounced his indisposition as an attack of paralysis. Today Mr. Crocker is somewhat improved, however, and it is thought that there will be no serious result.
Miss Gertrude Mossler, of the department of expression of the University, will give a recital to the M. F. H. club at Ottawa, on Monday, on the silver anniversary of the founding of the club.
KEPT SECRET FOR A WEEK
THEN "TELL-TALE" GRAINS OF RICE TOLD IT.
Miss Mayme Myers, a Sophomore,
Married to Mr. Samuel Sprague
of Oklahoma City.
Miss Mayme Myers of Hutchinson, a sophomore in the School of Fine Arts, was married February 21 to Samuel Sprague of Oklahoma City, Ok., while spending a few days visiting friends there. Then Mrs. Sprague returned to Lawrence and resumed her studies at the University, determined to keep secret for a short time the fact that the marriage had taken place.
Tell-tale grains of rice gave the secret away. The young woman's landlady was in the room when the latter unpacked her trunk after her return. When the little white grains began raining upon the floor from the clothing which was taken from the trunk, the girl had to admit to the landlady that she had been married.
A few days later a letter came addressed to "Mrs. Sprague." This was seen by the landlady and by roomers at the house, and again the radius within which the "secret" was known widened.
Mrs. Sprague is staying with her former room mate, Miss Bernice Bevins, at 1213 Ohio street. She will leave to join her husband in Oklahoma City next Tues day. Then they will start on a wedding trip. They will go to Galveston and after spending a few weeks there will return to Oklahoma City, where Mr. Sprague is in business with the Taylor Tile and Cement company.
TO BUILD CHAPTER HOUSE.
Kappas to Erect New Home Before Long.
Plans are now being made by the members of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority for the erection of a new chapter house on the crest of old Fort Thacher. The site marks one of the historic spots of Lawrence. It is situated at the corner of Louisiana and Ontario streets, just southeast of the University campus.
Although no definite building plans have yet been accepted, work is progressing steadily and it will probably not be long before the Kappas will have their new home.
Vesper Service Program.
President Frank K. Sanders of Washburn will make the address at the vesper services tomorrow afternoon in the University chapel. Following is the musical program: Piano, organ and violin prelude, "Marche Religieuse," (Wagner); hymn No. 28, "Abide With Me" (Monk); anthem, organ and violin postlude, "Elegie" (Tschaikowsky.)

"On to Princeton," is again the slogan of the University of Missouri. For the second time in just a few months our friends over there have been bereft of high hopes. First came the news that Roper would not be back to train the western Tigers next year—that his alma mater needed him. That was a blow, but not a staggering one. It only remained to make a contract with another Princeton man. So Dillon was secured, and all was well—Dillon, who had the warmest recommendation of Roper, as best gifted to carry out "my policies." Small wonder, then that, as the telegraph reports says, the student body of Missouri is feeling blue since they got word that Dillon's business interests will keep him in the East next year. Once more negotiations must be opened with Princeton—with Princeton, we say, because it is generally admitted even in Columbia, Mo., that Princeton had as much to do with the victory last Thanksgiving day as Missouri did. The gloom in Columbia will not lift until another Princeton star consents to have his name added to the athletic payroll.
The Bible Institute which will open tomorrow with the address of President Sanders of Washburn in chapel tomorrow afternoon is an important feature of the University life, and is recognized as such over the state. Since the Institute was begun, five years ago, other educational institutions of the state, recognizing the value of a series of lectures on religious subjects, have imitated it. Thus the Universitil, sometimes referred to as a "Godless institution," has been the pioneer in an important branch of religious teaching.

We are now showing, for example, $3.50 over 75 different styles and colors at.
Imperials are also in and they are more than ever the classiest $3. hats in the field.

HE PRINTED THE NEWS.
And Brock Pemberton Got Emporia Merchant on His Trail.
The Emporia Gazette, William Allen White's paper, was almost wrecked recently on account of a short story which it printed about an Emporia woman who will marry a Topeka man, says the Topeka Capital. The story related the account of the purchase, by the bride-to-be, at one of the Emporia stores, of $40 worth of "under-things," all in one garment, and the tale was concluded with a series of moral reflections on the extravagance of woman. After the appearance of the story in the paper the woman returned the "things" to the store, explaining to the clerk that it was not publicity but underwear which she was looking for, and that she would in the future trade at some place where the purchase of such things caused less of a flurry. Then another woman who had bought a $25 lingerie waist at the same store returned it, saying that she was afraid the news of her purchase might reach her husband and that would never do. Then the merchant who owns the store, inspired by a vision of all the women in Emporia calling at his store with packages under their arms, went to see Mr. White and asked him to please repress his news-hungry reporter who had the audacity to publish the account of the purchase of underthings for a trousseau box, said he could not comprehend the temperamental make-up of a man who would boldly set into type the story of so delicate a matter, the publicity of which meant dollars, forty of them, to him, the merchant, and a big advertiser in the Gazette. The reporter was called into consultation and a discussion on newspaper ethics followed.
Mr. Brock Pemberton, of Emporia, a reporter for the Gazette who has made his hit with the girls of the younger crowd in Topeka, is said to have been
Who Was This?
The University visitor, a member of the class in the late ninety, looked at the haughty youth with interest.
"To what fraternity do you belong?" he said.
The youth looked serenely at the sky above the visitor's head. "I am a Bard," he said leily.
Prof. A. T. Walker and Prof. C. E. McClung left Wednesday evening with Prof. W. H. Johnson on a trip for the inspection of schools during the rest of the week.

PORTRAITS OF JOURNALISTS
DEPARTMENT HAS INTER ESTING COLLECTION.
--given a better idea of the style and genius of Colonel Watterson, but—it happens that Secretary Ballinger was once a student of the University. This made a rather delicate situation, which was met by framing a part of the editorial in which Ballinger's name does not appear. The one complete sentence of the editorial which appears with the portrait, is:
. Harvey, Watterson, White, and Hapgood Write of Profession of Journalism.
The department of journalism of the University is the possessor of some interesting photographic portraits of American newspaper men. Prof. C. M. Harger, head of the department, has been for some time gathering the collection.Portraits of Horace White of the New York Evening Post, Norman Hapgood, editor of Collier's Weekly, Col. George Brinton McClellan Harvey, editor of Harper's Weekly, and Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, have been framed and placed on the walls of the journalism class room. This is the beginning of a collection which it is hoped will include most of the men of national prominence in journalism in the United States.
Accompanying each picture and framed with it,is an appropriate sentiment in the handwriting of each of the four men. These written messages to the students of journalism are almost as interesting as the portraits themselves.
For instance, enclosed within the frame which contains the photograph of Col. George Harvey is this statement, in the Colonel's own handwriting:
A
"True journalism and the politics that seeks personal advancement are not and cannot be made co-operative; from the radical difference in their very nature and the impossibility of reconciling what should be the idealism of the one with the practicalism of the other, they must be essentially antagonistic."
Colonel Harvey made the commencement address at the University last June. He was entertained on the evening of commencement day at a dinner to which a number of Kansas editors had been invited. Colonel Harvey was of course called upon for a speech after the dinner, and in the course of his remarks he took occasion to criticise William J. Bryan severely. He scored the Nebraskan both as a politician and as a journalist. To one who has the remarks made at the dinner in mind, the message framed with Colonel Harvey's picture seems to take up right where he left off in his remarks last June, and to contain almost a direct reference to the editor of the Commoner.
Colonel Harvey's photograph is the largest in the.collection The Colonel wears huge spectacles with tortoise-shell rims, and an inspection of the portrait will give point to the remark recently made by an easterner that he "looks as if Peter Newell drew him."
When the request for Colonel Watterson's photograph reached the Courier-Journal office, Colonel Watterson was ill in Florida and could not send an autographed statement as requested. His associates at the Courier Journal office gathered up a few pages of the original "copy" of the editorial entitled "Ballinger," which the Colonel had recently written and which had been quoted all over the country. These were sent with the photograph.
Probably nothing could have been selected which would have
"Only the known organs of predatory wealth, with here and there a newspaper not actually owned by the syndicate, but drawn by community of sympathy and interest to its side—we take no account of thick-or-thin partyites committed to the dogma that the Administration can do no wrong—have come to the President's rescue."
Horace White, who was for many years editor of the New York Evening Post, wrote as follows:
"I consider the study of the Bible the best foundation for a good style of English composition. I recommend for the training of journalists the study of history, ancient and modern, political economy, political science, and the English common law, and a reading acquaintance with the Latin, French and German languages."
This is Norman Hapgood's contribution to the symposium on what one should do to fit himself for journalism:
"The best preparation for newspaper work, in my opinion, is as sound, liberal, and varied an education as possible. A journalist's task is to think well on many subjects. The surest aid to such thinking is an education which combines strict mental training with the freeing influence of general cultivation."
SECRET IS OUT
What M. U. Women Carry in Party Bags.
"Oh say, Louise, did you get home from the dance all right?" "Yes, Marie, but do you know, the worst thing happened to me. It was horrible. Fred and I were getting into the cab, when my slipper bag flew open, and my slippers and stockings fell out."
At last the secret of the slipper bag is out, says the University Missouri. Masculine curiosity has often been aroused as to the contents of the little bags which girls carry to dances. The average man would think that they contained the indispensable powder, pumps and pins. At last the secret has been disclosed S-sh! The little bags also contain a second pair of stockings which Columbia girls take to dance in.
ENROLLMENT NOW 2,298.
No, the practice is not a new one, it is said. It is not merely a whim or fancy of university women, for it is an almost universal custom. Fashion has decreed silk hosiery, and silk hosiery is expensive. The stockings are delicately woven and are easily torn. It is for this reason that women do not wear the more expensive ones with heavy street shoes. This is where the slipper bags come in handy at the dances. The co-eds carry their silk stockings with them, and change them for the heavier ones. This is done because the light dancing pumps are not so destructive as the heavy street shoes and they are able to afford a greater variety and a larger number of pairs of silk stockings.
Hand in your Junior Prom dates to the committee at once.
The present enrollment of the University has reached 2,298. The usual number of teachers that enter for a short term in the spring each year will put the num ber well toward 2,400 before the end of the semester. This is a satisfactory increase over the enrolment of last year.
Number Expected to Reach 2,400 Before Long.
Of the students this year 1,430 are men and 868 women. Of the women 551 are in the college,184 in the department of fine arts,2 in each the Law School and the School of Pharmacy,and 22 in the Medical School.
The Graduate school is the only department of the University that shows an important increase this year. There are 120 graduate students, an increase of 20 per cent since last year. The enrollment by schools is: Graduate 120; College, 1,093; Engineering 439; Fine Arts, 269; Law, 215; Medicine, 164; Summer Session, 374.
CLIPPING BUREAU.
Extension Department Has Entered New Field.
In connection with the University extension department has been established what resembles a clipping bureau, although the extent of its work is yet too limited to call it by that name. The object of this branch is to assist and promote debating among the high schools and societies of the state. It keeps on file magazines and references and upon application of any of the institutions mentioned for information on any subject, articles from magazines and the proper references will immediately be mailed to the applicant. This work is now the germ of what may develop into a clipping bureau as a department of the University.

WHEN IS ELEVEN TWELVE?
The Waterbury Accused of Mudding Mathematics.
At exactly 11 o'clock yesterday morning, nineteen laborers who were working on the University campus, dropped their nineteen picks and shovels and started toward their dinner pails. At the same moment the University office force grabbed their hats. Even the staid professors hesitated in the midst of their lectures and began gathering up their notes; for hadn't the big power plant whistle, which daily announces the hour of twelve, boomed forth its deep-noted blast? It had; but everybody felt that something was wrong so as one man, they consulted their watches and saw that another hour remained before noon
The laborers indulged in a few sulphurous remarks concerning "that red-headed engineer," and picked up their discarded tools, the office force turned back to its work with a groan, and the professors looked puzzled as they resumed their lectures.
Over in the power plant on the west part of the campus, the fireman blamed the engineer, the engineer blamed his Waterbury watch, and the Waterbury, which hangs in the morning sun silently pointed an acusing hour hand at Old Sol, as the original or of the mischief.
At one minute after eleven, Engineer Charley Griffith began answering numerous telephone calls, and was heard to tell the inquisitive ones that, "I took only one glance at the watch, and the sun was shining on it in such a way that it looked like 12 o'clock to me, so I pulled the whistle."

Dillon was elected on Roper's recommendation. In his letter requesting his release he said his business interests in the East had increased so rapidly that he could not afford to come West 'or ten weeks' work in the fall.
Members of the athletic committe say they do not know who will be elected to fill the vacancy

A Kansas professor gave only one "1" in his class. When asked the reason, he replied, "There was only one girl in the class who could boil things down." That girl must have been in a perfect stew all the time.
The college girl wrote to her mother, "Every girl wears at least one diamond, and some of them two or three."
"Never mind," came back the answer from the farm. "Old Speckle and the white Leghorn are both laying. You can have a diamond soon."
The college girl thought she had struck a pithy epigram when she said, "What your mother tells you will never make you conceited." The mother, however, retaliated with, "The breakfast your college-bred daughter gets won't make you corpulent."

BALL TEAM DEVELOPING
The past week of spring weather has worked wonders with the nucleus of this season's K. U. baseball team. Although the men have been out for but a few practices, Coach A. M. Ebright is already getting a line on the different men for the positions on the team.
THIRTY MEN ARE OUT FOR POSITIONS.
Thus far about thirty men have reported and work-outs are being held each afternoon. The final weeding-out process has not yet begun, but Coach Ebright expects to have the squad down to not more than fifteen men by the 20th of this month.
"I am getting a line on the men now," said the coach this morning, "but in no case have I definitely decided upon the players who will hold down the positions Of course, Captain Rockefeller will be the regular man behind the bat, but the men for the other positions have not yet been selected."
Squad Will Be Cut Down to Fifteen Men the Last of the Month.
Thus far eight men are trying out for the pitching staff and it is a question as to who will be the regular pitchers. Heizer Farrell, McMullen and Lobaugh all look good and besides these veterans there are also several twirlers from last year's freshmen squad. Walker, who played first last spring, is at his old position again this year and looks like a sure bet. Palmer, Van der Vries and Tommy Johnson are all juggling chances for second base and Rogers is trying for third.
There seems, however, to be a lack of men for the outfield positions and it will undoubtedly be necessary to move some of the infield aspirants to the outer garden. However, they will not be shifted permanently until the latter part of this month.
Call Issued for First Year Base ball Men.
Next week will mark the beginning of freshman baseball practice. Sometimes in the latter part of this week Manager Lansdon will issue a call for candidates to be present upon McCook field, Monday afternoon, prepared for practice. The freshmen will have no coach of their own, but will be under the supervision of the 'Varsity coach, since later in the season both teams will practice together.
FRESHMEN TO START WORK

The Kansan announces today a competition for places on The Kansan staff. There are a number of vacancies which must be filled soon. Students of all schools of the University are eligible to enter the try-out.A knowl edge of how to write plain English and a willingness to work are the only qualification a board member must have.

SPOKE TO INSTITUTE
HUGH BLACK TOLD WHAT AND HOW TO READ.
A Large Audience Heard the Educator Criticise Different Authors.
Professor Hugh Black, of Union Theological Seminary of New York, delivered the second address of the Bible Institute yesterday afternoon on "What and How to Read." Maintaining throughout the lecture the folly of one reader selecting the best books for another, nevertheless Professor Black showed a great appreciation of Carlyle and encouraged the students not to lose him from their lives entirely simply because at one period in their education Carlyle did not appeal to them. Incidentally Dr. Black mentioned that Charles Dickens was too largely underestimated.
Professor Black's first proposition was that many students who had fortunately learned the art of studying a book had not learned the ear of reading a book.
"Such people are laying up for themselves a very unhappy old age," he said. "The reason we have not time to read is that we are confused by the immense mass of material coming continually from the press."
Professor Black emphasized the first principle of selection as being the art of rejection. He said that one should not feel disgraced because he had not read the "six best sellers" or the book of the moment."
As all the great things in the world are commonplace, Professor Black said the same is true of great rules of reading. Emerson's instructions that a person should read only the old books, the famous books, and the books which one likes, were explained and expanded by Professor Black in his most interesting fashion. He put in a word for second best books with the apt statement that high mountain peaks were admirable for tourists, but poor places for homes. To get the most from books each person should own, as far as possible, those that he reads.
In telling how to read, Dr Black amplified two thoughts given by Ruskin on the subject. Readers should maintain an attitude of reflection and most certainly a willingness to give close attention to the volume and not all the time be looking for shocks and thrills.
"Aim at a hospitality of mind get rid of prejudice and spend little time criticising methods," were some of Professor Black's general suggestions for reading Culture is intensive and can be secured from the reading of a few books. To neglect reading entirely is to encourage the narrowness of life which is incident to specialization in business activity.
Dr. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the state board of health, will lecture to the classes in education Monday.
THE WEATHER
Unsettled. Showers on Wednesday and Thursday.
BOUGHT NEW HOME.
Phi Delts Purchase the Sparr Residence.
The chapter house association of the local chapter of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity this morning purchased the house and lots at 1409 Tennessee street, commonly known as the Sparr place, and owned by Mr. Charles Sparr. The exact amount of money involved in the transaction could not be learned.
The chapter will take possession of the property the first part of June. No formal opening of the house will be held this school year, but the fraternity expects to have a big house warming at the beginning of next year.
Professor Higgins, of the School of Law, who is at the head of the chapter house association, gave out the information that several improvements were necessary to make the house a good fraternity home, and these would be made during the summer vacation. A large porch will be built on the south and east sides of the house and an extension will be added to the west side. The house will also be painted.
The Phi Delts are the second fraternity in the University to own their own home. The Phi Kappa Psis were the first. They bought the house they now live in several years ago.

Scoop Club Meeting.
A short meeting of the Scoop club will be held tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock in the Kansan office. It is important that all members be present.

OUTLOOK NOW IS BRIGHTER
MORE HOPE OF WINNING INDOOR MEET.
Men Will Be in Best Condition Special Train on Union Pacific.
With the big track meet only three days away a little gleam of light has at last broken through that great gray gloom that has for the past three weeks hung so closely around the gym. Those who saw the performances in the try-outs Saturday were very favorably impressed with the showing made by the men. The dash and the hurdles looked especially good. In the distance events the time was slow but as none of the men who took places were hard pushed, there it little to be drawn from the results. As far as physical condition is concerned the men are to be at their best on Friday night.
The Kansas freshmen are scheduled to run a mile relay with the Missouri first year men. The Kansans have been showing up in good shape, but if reports are to be believed, not as well as their Tiger rivals. One of the Missourians ran his quarter in 54.3 at a recent try-for that event.
Concerning the result of the meet, Coach Hamilton said this morning, "We have by no means given up hope of winning Friday night, and are at least sure that the Tigers will know they have been through a meet when we finish with them. We have a fighting team and every man is going to do his best. Why, we haven't even lost that two-mile yet. What I want to see most now is a big crowd of rooters at the meet. If every man who is able to get to the city will go and pull for the team all the time, whether we are winning or losing, we will be almost sure to win. Don't give up that meet till Missouri has the necessary forty-three points."
The special train will leave the Union Pacific depot here at 6 o'clock Friday evening and on arrival at Kansas City, the rooters will be taken direct to Convention hall by especially chartered cars. The returning train will leave immediately after the meet.
Changed the Date.
On account of a conflict in dates, the French play will be given in the gymnasium on Saturday night, April 16, instead of April 23, as previously announced. The reason for the change is because of the May festival, which will be in progress at that time.
Work on both the French and Spanish plays will be begun at once.
Orchestra Concert, March 29.
The University orchestra is preparing for its spring concert, which will be given on March29. One of the features of this performance will be the initial erudition of a "Minuet," composed for full orchestra, by Dean Skilton.

TUESDAY. MARCH 8, 1910.
In the matter of student self government there is little doubt that the women have far outstriped the men at the University of Kansas. The Women's Student Government association has done two things this year which go a long way toward fixing the position of the organization as a useful and important factor in the University life. The first is the establishment of "district meetings," in which the young women of the University are brought together in a social way. The service rendered by these meetings has been to break down harmful barriers of caste and clique and to put the relations of the women of the University or a truly democratic basis. That is work in the direction of Western ideals. The second achievement of the women's association has been the establishment of a scholarship. That is a good thing not only because it will render a service to some deserving student but because it helps to bind the members of the association to gether in the pursuit of a worthy purpose. It is even a better thing than it appears on the surface. The men's association as yet has no such really important achievement to its credit as either of the two cited above. It is true that the laws of the women's association have broken down in some particulars. For instance, the mid-week date rule is almost dead letter; but this minor failure is easily offset by the fact that the first of March is sometime past and the freshmen have not yet blossomed out in their class caps as provided for by solemn enactment of the Men's Student Government association.
There seems to be some uncertainty as to where "Puny" Bluck, the football star, who was lately suspended from the University of Missouri, will bestow his athletic talents next year. Some say he will go to Princeton. "Mark my word," said a Kansas City man to a University of Kansas student the other day, "Bluck will play on the Missouri team next year." If Black tries to, some exciting events may be looked for in Missouri Valley gridiron circles next year.
John Parker and Archie Beard spent Saturday and Sunday in Kansas City at the home of Parker's parents.
STAGES DRAMA OF REAL LIFE
CENTERS AROUND FOOT
BALL PROSPECTS.
Scene Is Laid in Down-Town Dental Office, Where Tragedy Is Put on Daily.
There is one short, usually jovial person at the University who is worried. Not only that, he looks it and admits it. His cares usually seem to be of small concern to him, but at present they are causing him to star in the character of "Chronic Grouch" in a play of that name.
The chief interest in this absorbing tragedy centers around the poor prospects for a championship football team in 1910. The two points in the play which give it its strength are its singleness of character (there being but one person in the cast) and the persistency of its morose tone. This latter gives the audience a leaden feeling in the pit of the stomach which lasts to the end of the third act and later.
The production is staged in the Head Grouch's down-town dental office, whenever a willing audience assembles—which assemblage convenes daily.
The Kansans prints below an epitome of the play, which bids fair to have a long and successful run unless something happens right away.
ACT I.
Enter the daily audience into the waiting room. Audience takes off its hat, "rings" a prong of the hall tree at a distance of sight feet with it, occupies the easiest chair in sight, and the short but sour drama of real life begins.
(From inner office emanate various crunching sounds, indicating removal of an adult size molar from the jaw of some unfortunate. Shuffling of feet toward door of waiting room. Enter entire cats, a pair of villainous-looking forceps in hand Paces floor.)
"Never saw such doin's in my life. Looks to me like everybody at the University is trying his best to give the dear old game of football the blow that killed father. It seems to be a contest between 'em to see who's got the best punch. If somebody doesn't step in pretty soon, they're going to do something really harmful.
(Confidentially) "Do, you know what all this squabble over the game has done to the prospects for next year? Well, I'll tell you. It's ruined them, that's all. It's driven a lot of good football men out of school, who would have stayed otherwise. They all told me, when they left that they didn't enjoy ping-pong nor tiddle-de-winks, so they thought they would attend a school where gentler games were encouraged. What do you suppose the good people of Kansas will say when they learn how their University abolishes the healthier games and demands that its young men risk their lives over the ping-pong table and the tiddle-de-winks board?" (This with inexpressible sarcastm.)
(Lays forceps on the table and sits down beside audience, who looks expectant.)
(Groans from inner office announce recovery of consciousness by him of the extracted molar Cast retires to administer chloroform to above mentioned patient, thus concluding first act.
ACT II.
(Enter villain, commedian and hero, owes in uno.) "There's one more thing about the acts of the Regents which looks muttish to me. They say that football is damaging to scholarship. Now if you will notice closely, you'll find that the class standing of football men is better than the majority of other students. This is shown by the Registrar's records. The football men keep up their work because they have to; they are given some incentive to work, whereas others are not. Now if that isn't a benefit, then I can't recognize one; but the Regents can't see it."
(Gasoline torch explodes in back office, and second act closes with a bang.)
(Enter entire company, frowning.)
ACT III.
"To be plain about it, the 1910 team is going to be punk rotten, the slowest we ever had, and—well, I can't think of anything else adequate to express it just now, but I'll think up a few choice appellations by the time the season opens next fall.
"There isn't a good man coming from this year's freshman team, and the remains of the Varsity will be pickin' for every team they meet next year."
"If I am offered the job of coaching for 1910, I have a notion to turn it down. What they need here is a tiddle-de-winks coach; and do you think I am base enough to lead promising young manhood into the horrible deaths and suffering which await

the dare-devil participants of that bloody game? No! Daily tooth-pulling and infliction of torture in other forms may have slightly dulled my fine sensibilities, but I won' coach tiddle-dewinks."
(Company glares a moment at audience, who grins exasperatingly; then retires to call a cab for the patient.)
Curtain.

TOURNAMENT THIS WEEK
HIGH SCHOOL BOYS AND GIRLS AT BASKET-BALL.
Twenty-Five Boys' Teams and Five Girls' Teams Will Compete for Championship.
The fourth annual interscholastic basket-ball tournament, in which both boys and girls teams will compete, will take place in Robinson gymnasium Friday and Saturday of this week. Games are scheduled for 10 a.m., 2 p.m. and 8 p.m on both days and two games will be played at those hours.

Admission to the preliminary games will be 15 cents to those holding student enterprise tickets. General admission will be 25 cents for the former and 50 cents for the latter games.
WHERE WILL BLUCK GO?
It's to the Tigers, Either Way the Warrier Turns.
One "Puny" Bluck, captain-elect of the Missouri football squad, who was recently dismissed from that school because of a disagreement with the town police force, will next year don the moleskins for the Tigers, but it will not be for those who hibernate in Columbia. According to reports, Coach Wm. Roper, who will have charge of the Princeton squad next fall, has induced the hard-hitting tackle to enter Princeton and try out for the team there.
Several Missouri University students who were visiting over Sunday at their homes in Kansas City, however, made emphatic denials of this report and, with a sly wink and a knowing nod of the head, said, "Just wait until next year." Evidently they believe that before the time for the call for the pigskin chasers next fall, the services of Bluck will be considered too valuable to be lost to Missouri..
To Debate Honor System.
Judges for the inter-fraternity debate, which is to be given in Fraser hall May 5, have been chosen. They are Professor W. E. Higgins, Hon. A.C. Mitchell and Professor F.G. Bates. The question which will be discussed is, "Resolved, That the Adoption of the Principles of the Honor System would be conducive to the best interests of the student body and to the University of Kansas."
Rev. Frank E. Higgins, "The Lumber Jack Sky Pilot," whose work among the lumbermen of Minnesota has been described by the author, Norman Hacket, will speak in chapel Friday, April 18 under the auspices of the Presbyterian board of home missions.
ORGANIZATION NEEDED
Dean Sayre Outlines Work of Professional Societies.
Dean Sayre of the School of Pharmacy gave a talk to the pharmaceutical society yesterday morning on the subject of organizations and associations. "The world's work is being carried on by organizations and men are living closer together than ever before," said Mr. Sayre. "The young man in his educational life should be taught that the greatest work in life must be made effective through organization, co-operation and association."
At the close of his speech the dean gave the history of two of the largest associations in the world—the American Medical association, which pays attention to the practice of medicine, and the American Pharmaceutical society which protects and enforces the pure food law.
A Recital by Students of Department of Expression.
HAD LARGE AUDIENCE.
The recital given by the senior girls of the department of expression Friday afternoon at the down town studio, was exceptionally good. The audience was a large and appreciative one.
The program consisted of the following numbers:
"Sleep," (Mrs. Browning)— Edith Lawson.
"Miss Hazy's Matrimonial Experience" (Alice Hegan Rice)—Jennie Purdy.
"The Lost Word" (Van Dyke)
Gravee Waugh.
"The Mission Box That Scandalized the Village"—Bess Yeater.
"The Hazing of Valient"—Lilian Kirchoff.
"Jean Valjean" — Winifred Van Vleit.
Nina Pilkenton and Bertha Williams of the vocal department sang solos.
The senior girls will give a farce at a recital soon.
RECEIVED NEW SKULL.
Valuable Specimen Arrived Yesterday.
The department of Paleontology yesterday received a very valuable skull of a beaver from the Smithsonian institute in Washing ton, D. C. The skull is of the extinct species known as Castorides. It will be used in the department for study and within a short time a comparison of the new specimen will be made with that presented to the University last summer by Dr. McClelland of Pleasanton, Kansas. It is believed that this comparison will reveal the fact that the McClelland skull is of a different and extinct species.
OPENED BIBLE INSTITUTE.
Echoed in France.
President Frank K. Sanders of Washburn Spoke.
Amida Stanton, '04, who was for one year a fellow in French, is this year attending the University at Sorbonne, Paris. A recent letter received from her tells of a picture of the campus of the University of Kansas that hangs on the walls in one of the class rooms of the French school.
Miss Gertrude Mossler of the Fine Arts school, gave a recital before the N. P. M. club at Otawa, yesterday.
The instance goes to show the world-wide recognition of the University.
President Frank K. Sanders of Washburn College, opened the University of Kansas Fifth Annual Bible Institute Sunday afternoon with an address on "The Biblical Use of the Imagination," at the vesper service time. He first referred to the importance of imagination as a factor in business activities as the planning of great railroad enterprises.
Imagination is also useful to the student especially in any historical study, he said. The use of the imagination in considering the Bible is important in both the historical and allegorical writings. President Sanders explained its use in Job to supplement the historical framework and thus to present the author's idea of the relations between God and men. The supreme use of imagination for religious purposes is in the parables which Jesus used to set forth eternal truths.
Special music included the anthem, "Unfold Ye Portals," from "The Redemption," by Gounod, which is a favorite with the vesper chorus and with the audience. Only two more vesper services will be held during this school year. On March 13 the speaker will be Dr. Washington Gladden. The following Sunday an entirely musical program, in the nature of an Easter cantata will be given. The chorus will give "The Crucifixion" by Stainer.
Miss Gail Gosset's division of the Woman's Student Government association was entertained Saturday afternoon at the home of Mrs. W. E. Higgins, 1223 Ohio street, by the patronesses of the 1200 block. Mrs. L. E. Sisson, Mrs. George O. Foster and Mrs. Higgins were the hostesses.

TO WORK IN EAST BOTTOMS
SETTLEMENT IDEA TO START NEXT TUESDAY.
Students in Department of Exp expression Will Teach Little Urchins.
The department of expression at the University will start a social settlement movement in the East bottoms next Tuesday. There at 1022 New York street, a small cottage has been furnished and in the rooms have been hung pictures and pennants. Cozy chair and window seats have also been placed in the rooms and picture books, story books and other forms of child literature have been supplied. And in that house on every Tuesday, the girls of the department of expression will gather with the little urchins of the district and carry on a form of settlement work.
The movement is at present under the supervision of Miss Veda Walker, of the department of expression. It is the idea of those conducting the work to tell mythological and Bible stories and classical and fairy tales to the little urchins who go to the house each week. After the children are told the stories they are required to retell them and are thus taughs the stories of moral uplift almost unconsciously.
While the work at present does not include such a wide scope, it is the plan of the department or the University to extend the idea as soon as it is practicable to do so. Next fall a number of working girls' clubs will be organized and courses in physical culture will be added.
The students are most active in the work are Miss Cornelia Hard castle, Miss Hazel Browning, Miss Lucile Barrett and Miss Chloe Cory.
MISS WAUGH TO WAMEGO
Fine Arts Student to Prepare High School Plays.
Miss Waugh is the first of a number of students in the department of expression, who will go to different schools throughout the state for the purpose of training the students in the school which give annual plays.

When Professor Hubach came to Fraser hall about 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon to practice the vesper music he found that the pipe organ was not working properly. After turning a lever the organ was no longer on a strike, but a volume of smoke poured from the top of the pipes. Electrician Smith was called, but he found no reason why the organ should not continue its good behavior in the future.

FRESHMAN SQUAD RETURNS
Had Hard
Luck With Majority of Games.
The freshman basket-ball squad consisting of Woodbury, Bray field, Gribble, Snyder, Harold Wheelock and Hite, accompanied by Manager Lansdon, returned Sunday from their tour of the state, not in the prime condition in which they started out. The trip was an unusually hard one, a game being played every night. The contest with the Chilocco Indians, in which the latter displayed the typical Indian spirit was particularly rough. Because of poor courts, unofficial baskets and other unexpected obstacles, the freshmen were not as successful as they might have been otherwise, against the teams which they had beaten on their own court. However, they were victorious in the game with Halstead high school, which resulted in a score of 22 to 26. The scores of all the other games are as follows:
Clay Center High School 25 freshmen 21.
Chiloico Indians, 30, freshmen 9.
Newton High School 33, fresh men 25.
Halstead High School 22, fresh men 26.
Reno County High School 50 freshmen, 26.
Total K. U. points, 107.
Total for opponents, 160.

ANOTHER FRATERNITY
Biological
There is now an honorary fraternity in almost every department of the University and it would seem that there was room for no more such organizations. But the biological students have also recently formed one and they will petition the national Biological fraternity, Beta Sigma Phi soon.
Science Society Is Formed.
Albert Le Moine, the president of the sophomore class, is at the head of the movement. The fraternity will be purely honorary and only those who are recommended by the faculty will be admitted to membership. The members intend to do research work in biological sciences, and may give a scholarship in the department to commemorate their founding.
It is understod that the charter for the new society will be granted soon and the installation will take place before the end of this semester.
SAVES MONEY FOR STATE.
School of Pharmacy Doing Much Analytical Work.
"During the past year," said Dean L. E. Sayre of the School of Pharmacy, "the University has made over 1,000 analyses of foods and drugs, besides examining water and making many bacteriological tests for the state. Commercial chemists would have charged from $10 to $25 for each analysis, and I figure that the state would have had to pay at least $50,000 if the analyses had been left to private individuals."
Dean Sayre is an advocate of pure food laws, and he has done so much for their enforcement that he was recently appointed head of a committee of the American Pharmaceutical association to devise means of extending and unifying drug reform. He is working on the problem at present and is formulating several plans. One will be to ask congress to pass laws requiring a more thorough and uniform inspection of drugs. He will suggest a large part of the Kansas system for the other states, since it is recognized by the leading pharmacists as the best in the country.
Reis Ryland returned Sunday evening from Kansas City where he has been visiting friends.

ENTERED "INSTITUTE."
Harvard Neophytes Put on Street Stunts.
Each recurring year one hundred students of "Fair Harvard," for the greater part members of the athletic element of the sophomore class, are initiated into the mysteries of "The Institute," says the Boston Traveler. Previous to this final ceremony these students are at the beek, and call of the older members of the society and are forced to don old clothes and to do any old errand that may be demanded.
Thursday a class of five initiates, the first to be put through the sprouts sine the Yale-Harvard game, occupied the center of the stage at Harvard Square and entertained a large and appreciative audience for a considerable period. It was a free show, but that did not detract from its merit, and the neophytes performed their various parts with the practiced abandon of accomplished artists.
One neophyte had evidently been an understudy in the star role in "Ten Nights in a Barroom," for his specialty was to imitate a disciple of Bacchus and to reel about the streets plaintively crying: "Drink is a curse. Oh, for one long curse!" Another, representing Napoleon, delivered a talk on his conquests, much to the deletation of his audience; while still another, attired as a ballet girl, gave a splendid terpsichorean performance, interspersed with the rendition in a high pitched voice of the beautiful classic, "Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly?"
H. F. Smith, '85 of Wellington, Kan., visited in Lawrence Saturday.
The exhibition proved highly elevating and inspiring to the gathering and there was none present who was not willing to concede that each neophyte had paid his full entrance fee to the "Institute" and should be accepted as a full fledged member without question.

TROUBLE OVER SENIOR PLAY
Play Not Yet Written—Must Be in Hands of the Director Within a Week.
DISSENTION AMONG COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
Dissension in the senior play committee was made known today after the date on which the play will be given was definitely decided upon last night. It is said that some time ago trouble ensured over a disagreement between the manager of the play and the chairman of the play com mittee as to whether or not the chairman should receive a part of the money from the performance. There is no precedent giving the chairman a right to receive a compensation, and consequently the manager refused to agree to divide the proceeds.
From this disagreement further complications arose. As yet no announcement for a tryout for parts in the play has been made. No play or a synopsis of any play has been submitted to the play committee and as yet no formal action has been taken with regard to the choosing of a play.
It is said that Vale Nance, Irwin Snattinger and J. E. Miller, members of the play committee, are working on the production which will be given. These men it is said, have written the plot and are now filling in the dialogue. The first act is completed, but no reading has been given before the committee. The chairman announced that he would call a meeting for the reading of the synopsis, but no meeting has yet been held.
The dates set for the play are May 4 or 5. This makes is necessary for the manuscript of the play to be in the hands of the director by March 18, a week from tomorrow. It has been stated that the play, which is now being written, will not be presented to the play committee until that time. If so, the probabilities are that it will be up to the committee to either adopt the play as presented or be seriously hampered in selecting or writing another.
Mr. A. B. Frizell, instructor of mathematics in the University received a severe fall yesterday afternoon and as a result is now suffering from a paralysis of his right leg. His fall was occasioned by the slippery condition of the board sidewalk in front of the gym.
A. B. Frizell Fell on the Icy Sidewalk.
INSTRUCTOR INJURED
Mr. Frizell was taken to his room at 1247 Kentucky street, but this morning, as his condition was not improved, he was removed to the hospital.
Hetherington to Wisconsin?
Clark W. Hetherington, director of athletics at the University of Missouri, has been offered the position of director of athletics at the University of Wisconsin.
ENTRIES STILL COMING IN.
Nearly 300 High School Basket Ball Players Coming.
A definite schedule for the games to be played in the basketball tournament, commencing tomorrow morning,has not yet been arranged. Not all of the teams who are expected to enter have notified the management of their entry, but letters are coming in on every mail and by tomorrow morning Manager Lauddon expects at least 300 entries for the tournament.
Tomorrow morning a complete schedule will be arranged and the preliminaries will all be played in time to allow the playing of the finals Saturday afternoon.
MEETTOMORROW
HIGH SCHOOL CONFERENCE TO START.
Dean Charles Judd and Dr Washington Gladden Will Be Principal Speakers.
The seventh annual conference of high schools and academies accredited by the University of Kansas, will begin tomorrow morning at chapel hour when Dr. Washington Gladden, who is conducting the Bible Institute this week, will speak. Immediately after the close of his address, Chancellor Strong will deliver the formal address of welcome after which State Superintendent of Public Instruction E. T. Fairchild, will address the teachers on "The Educational Outlook for Kansas."
J. W. Gleed, who was scheduled to address the meeting in the afternoon, will be unable to attend, owing to legal business. Professor Carruth and Prof.R.A. Schwegler will make addresses on questions relative to the relationship between high schools and universities.
NUMBER 65
Probably the most important address of the session will be given Friday evening at 8:15 when Dr. Charles H. Judd, dean of the School of Education of the University of Chicago, will speak on "The Scientific Study of High School Problems." Immediately after this lecture Chancellor and Mrs. Strong will receive informally at their residence.
Frank Barclay Thatcher was last night elected captain of the 1910 football team of the University of Missouri.
On Saturday the meetings will close with a number of conferences of different departments.
Professor Johnson, who has charge of the conference, is expecting a large delegation of teachers.

HAVE FIGHTING CHANCE TO WIN
KANSAS MAY TAKE TOMOR ROW'S MEET.
The Men Are in Good Condition and the Dope Looks Brighter.
Scores of Former Indoor Meets
1904—Missouri 48 Kansas 40
1905—Missouri $57^{1/2}$ Kansas $27^{1/2}$
1906—Missouri 55 Kansas 30
1907—Missouri $48^{1/2}$ Kansas $36^{1/2}$
1908—Missouri 48 Kansas 37
1909—Missouri $62^{1/3}$ Kansas 22 2 3
The score gave teil only too plainly the city of the Kansas Missouri meets in Convention hall in the past six years. What the result may be tomorrow night is the question uppermost in the minds of all loyal Kansans. "We are going to Kansas City with an even chance of winning the meet," said Coach Hamilton this morning. "The men on the team are every bit as good as the Tigers and are in fit physical condition. A good deal depends on how the men feel tomorrow evening and on the break of the luck These things being even we have at least an equal chance."
The track men and others closely interested in the meet have been filing dope sheets with the coach on the result of the meet. The majority of these pick Kansas to win with a margin of from one to ten points. There are a dozen or more, however, who give the enemy the meet by a fairly large margin.
Total...41 44
A conservative estimate which strikes a medium between the two extremes is as follows:
Kan. Mo.
50 yard dash ... 8 0
55 yard low hurdles ... 3 5
55 yard high hurdles ... 3 5
440 yard dash ... 5 4
Half mile run ... 3 5
Mile run ... 3 5
Two mile run ... 3 5
Pole vault ... 3 5
High jump ... 5 3
Shot put ... 0 8
Relay ... 5 0
No Meeting Tonight.
Tickets for the meet were placed on sale at the check stand in Fraser hall at 1:30 this afternoon. All box seat tickets with the exception of those reserved for the management were kept in Kansas City for the Kansas City alumni of the two schools.
The meeting of the Civil Engineering society, which was advertised for tonight, will not be held as Mr. Ira G. Hedrick, who was to talk, was not able to come to Lawrence.
THE WEATHER.
Clear tonight and Friday; rising temperature.
SANDERS WILL LECTURE.
This estimate while conservatives gives Kansas a good chance win should any of the Missouri speed merchants fail to deliver. A change of any Kansas second to a first or taking a second net counted will give Kansas the meet. On the other hand the loss of any of the points that have been given Hamilton's men, would make the result a certain defeat.
Two Talks on Hebrew Religion Next Week.
President F. K. Sanders of Washburn College, will deliver two lectures at the University of Kansas next week on "The Development of the Hebrew Religion." The lectures will be given primarily for Prof. J. E. Boodin's class in the philosophy of religion, but will be set at 4:30 on the afternoon of next Wednesday and Friday in order to permit the public to attend. President Sanders will lecture in the Snow hall lecture room.
WRITERS CONFER
Regent Will Be Here Tomorrow
—Gladden Lectures Have
Large Attendance.
W. A. WHITE AND DR. GLAD DEN TO MEET.
(Continued on page four.)
By a special engagement Regent William Allen White, will visit the University tomorrow for the purpose of meeting and conferring with Dr. Washington Gladden, who is delivering a series of lectures here this week to the Bible Institute. While neither of the two great men have ever met, so much has transpired that indirectly connects them, that the meeting tomorrow will be a novel one.
It happens that Dr. Gladden is pastor of the First Congregation al church in Columbus, Ohio. At the time Mr. White's book, "A Certain Rich Man," appeared, a copy of it fell into the hands of Dr. Gladden, and he was so pleased with the work that he delivered a Sunday evening sermon upon the subject matter short time later. The sermon created considerable press comment and a copy of a Columbus paper in which an article on the review of Dr. Gladden, made in his sermon, was published, was sent to Mr. White. In return Mr. White sent Dr. Gladden an autograph copy of "A Certain Rich Man" as a Christmas token. Consequently a sort of mutual friendship developed and both men determined to visit each other at the first opportunity. That opportunity will come tomorrow and the two noted men will confer on no one knows what, but it is needless to say that the meeting will be an interesting one.
In speaking of Mr. White yes tederday, Dr. Gladden stated that he was surprised to hear that the famous Kansan was so young. He said that after reading the book above referred to the historical references made in it led him to believe that the author must be a man of mature years. When told that Mr. White was still a young man he was greatly surprised.
MET,RESOLUTED THEN PARTED
"I anticipate a very pleasant meeting with Mr. White," said Dr. Gladden. "He appeals to me as a typical Kansan, a man who represents the state in every de-
STUDENT COUNCIL QUIZZED TWO OFFENDERS.
'Let Him Who Is Without Sin Cast the First Stone,' the Sentiment.
The members of the student council gathered together last night and met, face to face, another problem of University affairs. The result was that the usual "good resolution" step was taken and the meeting was adjourned.
Last evening the principal call for legislation was with regard to the peanut throwing at the Bowersock opera house, which occurred on the night of the presentation of "Polly of the Circus." Allan R. Shaw and Frank C. Wood, who were ejected from the gallery at that time for disturbing the peace, were brought before the council and their story drawn from them.
After they had admitted throwing the peanuts, the members beban to try to determine what attitude the council should take on the matter. A rigid inspection brought forth the conclusion on the part of the majority of the members of the council that they too, had in times past been guilty of a similar offense, ie., throwing peanuts from the gallery. Consequently the need for action was recognized and after the "ejected" had been reprimanded, the council passed without a dissenting vote the following resolution:
"Whereas, recent conduct of the students in the gallery of the Bowersock opera house has gone to the extreme, the student council gives warning that all disorderly conduct in the future on the part of students will be severely dealt with."
The conduct referred to has been defined as not only throwing peanuts alone, but the releasing of any edible articles or other missiles, from that part of the play house known as the gallery. The council also proposed to recommend that the Friday of all quiz weeks be declared a holiday and appointed a committee to confer with a committee of the faculty in the setting of dates for University functions in the fu.
PAINFULLY BURNED
Everett B. Sutton, a junior, received a painful injury yesterday afternoon. He went to the basement of the physics building to syphon some distilled water from one of the large bottles in which it is stored. By mistake he placed the tube in a bottle of sulphuric acid and in starting the syphon his mouth was filled with the acid Remembering his chemistry caused him to call for ammonia hydroxide. It was obtained and applied. However, Sutton failed to remember that although ammonia hydroxide counteracts the acid, it also eats the skin, and the final application caused him to suffer painful injuries about the mouth.

THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1910
The students who were guilty of disturbance of the peace in the Bowersock opera house a few weeks ago, have been haled before the student council, where a metaphorical slap on the wrist was administered to each of the culprits. And the council—all this was on the same evening, mind you—issued an edict that the next student who shoots a peanut shell will get two slaps on the wrist, also metaphorical, of course. It is high time that the reign of the "roughnecks" was ended at the University and it can't be said that the action of the student council was one bit too drastic.
Everybody who knows about athletics, in a discussion of athletic contests always has something to say about the way that "rooting" helps a team. The fact that a trainload of students will go down to Kansas City to the meet tomorrow night is a good sign. Rooting alone won't win a meet-but it will help. Kansas is depending on a lot besides rooting, and expects to be able to produce the goods when the gun cracks in Convention hall. A whole season of systematic scientific training has been put in on the track team, and justifies the expectation if not of victory at least of a close score.

SCOOP CLUB TO BANQUET
SEMI-ANNUAL IN KANSAS CITY SATURDAY NIGHT.
Dr
The Scoop club of the University has completed arrangements to hold its spring banquet in Kansas City next Saturday evening at the University club. Between fifteen and twenty men will go down from the University for the banquet.
On account of the large number of University of Kansas men working on the Kansas City papers, the Scoop club last fall went to Kansas City to have a banquet in order that the Kansas City men might attend. The meeting proved so profitable that a spring meeting was planned at that time.
Newspaper Men of University to Dine With Graduates and Missouri Students.
The invitation list for next Saturday's banquet has been extended to include as many members of the University of Missouri Press club as can be present, with a view to promoting a better acquaintance between the newspaper men of the two universities.
Here It Is!
Jerome Beatty of the Kansas City Times, who helped to found the Scoop club and who gave it its name, will preside as toastmaster at the banquet. No formal program has been prepared but it is planned to introduce some original literary work at each meeting held in Kansas City. Last fall Harry Kemp read an original play. Saturday night C. L. Edson, the "funny man" of the Times, will read a chapter of a novel which he is writing.
One of Mr. Edson's claims to fame is the fact that he was the first student of the University to own an Automobile. His Automobile was a monthly paper which he wrote, printed and bound, and in which he set forth his views of University life. Edson is also something of a poet, and it is expected that his poetical controversy with Harry Kemp will be resumed at the meeting Saturday

night. At the meeting last fall the discussion between the two was called on account of darkness—the lights were swtched off at 3 a.m.
SOME FUNNY EXCUSES.
Why People Don't Pay for the Graduate Magazine.
It might be expected that L. N. Flint, editor of the Graduate Magazine, would be exempt from the ordinary "kicks"that come to a newspaper, inasmuch as he is running a dignified periodical read by dignified people. But Mr. Flint has had a couple of refusals to pay the subscription price of his magazine, accompanied by the reasons for the refusal. He writes of them as follows in the last number of the Graduate Magazine:
Two members of the University faculty refused last year to pay for the Graduate Magazine. One of them said "he never ordered it," a statement which The Magazine had good reason to doubt but which all publishers recognize as the conventional and therefore the proper excuse of the person commonly—though neither euphoniously nor euphemistically—spoken of as the dead beat. (In educational circles such persons are of course referred to as merely by a trifle careless about their debts.) That case was not even interesting. But the other brother said that he would not pay his subscription because he "had not received an invitation to the Junior Prom." Original! No doubt of it. But baffling—haunting The Magazine has sometimes felt like invoking the Shade of Sherlock to help make a diagram of it—dignus vindice nodus. The relation is about as clear as in that other problem: if x equals mud how many times does Boola go into Mars? It is too much for any of those who work in the Magazine office. But then, there was a time when no one saw the connection between the gumdrop and the north pole.
GIRLS WERE INTERESTED.
So Was Everyone on Massachus setts Street Yesterday.
Two girls stood shivering on lower Massachusetts street yesterday, gazing intently into a well-decorated window. They were neatly dressed and as they stood there in the snow other passers-by were attracted to the window.
"Don't you know, dear, I believe that is the best assortment of college jewelry that I have ever seen in Lawrence. Those rings and lockets! Aren't they just too dear for anything? Let's go in, as I must get Harry that cigarette case with the seal on it for a birthday present."
After the cigarette case had been purchased, Mr. Gustafson showed the girls another assortment of the jewelry which he could not get in the window.
Mr. Gustafson is the college jeweler and he says that this shipment of fobs, ash trays, picture frames, spoons, book-marks hat and belt pins, etc., is the largest that ever came to Lawrence. It's exclusively for the K. U. trade.
Prof. C. M. Young returned the first of the week from a meeting of the American Institute of Mining Engineers in Pittsburg, Pa. where he read a paper on "The Decomposition Products of Black Blasting Powder."

HE'S WORKING IN THE GYM
---
H. CLAY WATERS GETTING HIS-DEGREE.
Under Coaching of Harry Kemp,
the ex-Kansan Editor May
Do the Two-Mile.
---
Henry Clay Waters, who was editor of The Kansan in 1908-9, and who has for the past three months been city editor of the Lawrence World, is now making up his gym credits at the University, preparatory to taking a degree. During the tours years he was a student of the University, Mr. Waters spent so much time poring over books in the sociological alove at the library that he could not quite find time to finish his gymnasium work. Now he is burninfg the midnight gas poring over physical culture studies.
"Heine," as the ex-editor and ex-student is known to his friends, has been seen daily for the past week crossing the campus with a small note book filled with typewritten exercises, with dumb bells, weights, Indian clubs, bars, wands and the like, which he must learn before receiving the coveted sheepskin. His eyes wear a preoccupied, far-away look, for "Heine" has thought so much in terms of sociology that the really simple directions for the handling of his apparatus are a bit puzzling to him. And this in spite of the fact that Waters was considered an exceptionally good basket-ball player on the high school team before he came to the University.
However, "Heine" is likely to get all the tutoring he needs. For a week "Cap" Young, past holder of the University high jump, coached him along the athletic way, and now Hary Kemp, who takes a daily two-mile spin around the track to enhance his pursuit of Pegasus, has taken up the work. Unfortunately, the poet has ideas of his own about physical training, ideas which the little typewritten book does not contain. He has been importing Dr. Naismith to make 'Heine' do the two-mile before he is declared to have finished his physical culture course. The recipient of the poet's attentions is attempting to side-step the two-mile requirement. He claims that he should be allowed to enter in lieu of the "two-mile" the pursuit of two-line "personals" from the Sana Fe station to Haskell Institute and back several times a day for a period of three months. The matter is being threshed out in the gymnasium this afternoon.

MRS. GRENFELL SPOKE.
Told of Advantages of Higher Education.
Mrs. Helen Loring Greenfell of Denver, Col., spoke briefly in chapel Wednesday morning in regard to the larger life which comes to women as well as men from college experiences.
"It is not the kind of work, but the way of doing it which enti"s the worker to success," she said.
To illustrate this statement, Mrs. Grenfell told the story of a college girl who became a teacher in a small coal and mining town in New Mexico. The community had a large foreign element and she not only taught the children from books, but in a conscientious way maintained a miniature college settlement among the people. Their testimony to the value of her life showed the possibilities of carrying a high college spirit into humble surroundings.
Mrs. Grenfell was for three terms state superintendent of public instruction in Colorado and is active in all movements for the uplifting of conditions in her city and state.
BOILER BROKE AWAY.
And Rolled Forty Rods Down the Hill.
Last Saturday the large boiler which was being moved from Fowler shops to the boiler house broke away from the workmen who were moving it and rolled about forty rods down the hill Its course toward a little cottage was deviated by it running through a hedge, against some trees and into a field of soft dirt. The incident occurred by the failure to carry out the plans of Mr. Crocker, who was ill at his home at the time of moving the boiler.
The force of men who were moving the boiler at the time of its rapid descent, are now engaged in the process of a slow ascent.

Hearing of Harry Kemp's intentions to be the first man to brave the icy waters again this year Van der Brook and Kaffer decided to "beat" Kemp to his stunt.
Saturday afternoon they walked about three miles up the Santa Fe tracks to Cameron's Bluff and took a fifteen-minute plunge in the river. The water was too cold to stay in any longer, but the boys had accomplished their object and were satisfied to walk back to Lawrence and tell their friends of their stunt.

Dr. Gladden began his series of lectures in connection with the Bible Institute this week with an address Tuesday afternoon on "Where Are We in Industry?" He started with a somewhat historical discussion of competition, which he said had been the regulative principle in economic life and then discussed the present industrial conditions and the possible outcome of the conflicts between employee and employee.
In his address yesterday afternoon on "Where Are We in Social Morality?" Dr. Gladden gave the history and present stat of several vices which have in jured the body politic. His conclusion in regard to the liquor business was that in general there was much less drinking now than twenty-five years ago. On the other hand he felt that the gambling spirit whereby a man wants to get something for nothing, is influencing millions of people who are not tempted by any outward form of gambling.
He will speak in chapel tomorrow at 10:00 o'clock in the morning, and also at 4:30 and at vespers Sunday.

ANNUAL BOARD WASSURPRISED
SENIOR PLAY EARLIER THAN THEY THOUGHT.
The Board Expected to Finish the Annual by May 18—Must Rush the Work.
The announcement of the date of the senior play as May 4 and 5 came as a surprise to the men who are getting up the senior Annual. They had not expected that they would have to have the senior book finished until nearly two weeks later than that. The contract which has been made with the publishers calls for the delivery of the books May 18 There will have to be a lot o work done at high pressure around the Jayhawker office if the Annual is delivered in Lawrence in time to be put on sail the night of the senior play.
"I asked Vale Nance about the date of the play before I made the contract with the publishers," said Manager Leland of the Annual today. "He told me he thought it would not be before May 18, and I went ahead and made the arrangements with the publishers on the basis of that information. I did not see Mr. Cairn about the play, as I had no idea at that time that there was any friction between the manager on the play and the chairman of the play committee. We can get the Jayhawker out all right by May 4 if we have to, but it will mean that the work on the latter part of the book will have to be hurriedly done."
"The Annual board will simply have to double its work for the next two weeks in order to go the book done in time for the play," said Ralph Spotts, editor of the Annual, yesterday. I guess we can handle the proposition a right, if the whole staff burns the midnight oil for the next two weeks."
Milton Cain, the manager of the play, said today, "I am sorry all of this senior play affair have been aired so much. The dates which I set were selected after considering the matter thoroughly, and if anyone is to be inconvenienced by them, I regret very much."
In the interest of the department of zoology, the library has added some valuable current German periodicals. The most important of these are the sixty-four volumes of "Mikroskopische Anatomie," which completes a set of seventy-four volumes.

TEACHERS MEET
HIGH SCHOOL CONFERENCE A SUCCESS.
Probably 300 Delegates Attend ed the Meetings Yesterday and Today.
Perhaps 300 high school teachers have been at the University since yesterday for the purpose o attending the seventh annual conference of accredited high school and academies of the state.
In connection with the meeting of the conference, the lectures of Dr. Washington Gladden and the high school basket-ball tournament are furnishing ample entertainment for those who are here Among the delegates are man former University students.
The principal lecture to the delegates was delivered last night by Dr. Charles H. Judd, dean of the school of education of the University of Chicago. His subject was "The Scientific Study of High School Problems."
"The real problem of education is the development of method by practical investigation of current practices. Mere discussion is futile. We need definite data," said Dr. Judd. By way of illustration he cited the results of an investigation made by the principal or the Free academy in Norwich Conn. This principal was aware of the criticism against present methods of teaching the elementary branches made by people who were "taught differently, when they were young." Finding a list of examination questions given in the '60's, and the record made by the class who wrote or the questions, he gave the same questions to the corresponding class last year and found that the class averaged 20 per cent higher than the class in the '60's. Dr Judd gave no time to discussion of theory, but demonstrated that educational problems could be reduced to the same scientific, practical basis which the business world demands.
After the lecture the Chancellor and Mrs. Strong held an informal reception at the University residence that the visiting teachers might meet Dr. Judd.

The twenty-four boys team which have been engaging in combat during the past two days have presented in many instances a high class of basket-ball. They show marked ability and make the basket-ball fans wish for the time when many of the players will be University students.
Five series must be played before the championship of the boys teams may be decided. Yesterday the first two series, including eighteen games were played Today two more of the series were disposed of and tonight the finals will decide the winning team.
The teams which entered the tournament are Leavenworth Baldwin, Clay County, Lincoln Parsons, Lecompton, Topeka, Halstead, Cherokee County, Kansas City, Kan., Chanute, Wellsville Newton, Rosedale, Kinsley, Paola, Havensville, Pleasanton Montgomery County, Eldorado Iola, Portis, Reno, and Waverly.

In the first game yesterday Reino defeated Arkansas City by the score of 23 to 11 and Minneapolis by the score of 40 to 3 thus placing herself in the finals Chanute in turn defeated Osawatomie 40 to 4, and Glasseo 25 to 18
ON DEMOCRACY AND RELIGION
Partisan Politics and Partisan Religion Alike on the Wane, Says the Divine.
DR. GLADDEN GIVES TWO STRONG ADDRESSES
"Political mercenaries are the scandal and shame of our democracy," said Dr. Gladden in his address Thursday afternoon on "Where Are We in Democracy?" Other conditions which threaten the civic life of the nation are improving, but the mercenary spirit in politics is worse than in the past," maintained the great reformer. "It is a cancer in the body politic that must be cut out and that very speedily if the American democracy is to flourish.
"The partisanship which exalts party above the good of the state has been a great evil, but it is on the wane. Partisan politics is partly responsible for the boss, but even his power is passing." In referring to Platt, Dr. Gladden said that for several years there had been hardly enough left of him to point a moral.
Watch this space next week
Inequality in taxation and the unwillingness of great corporations to allow a square deal came in for a share of Dr. Gladden's discussion. Constructively he considers that the success of a democratic government depends largely on the strengthening of the local unit. To accomplish the latter he believes that every city and village should be permitted to rule itself as far as possible.
"The sectarian spirit in religion has been losing its power. It is a great thing to discover that we are Christians," said Dr. Gladden in his address yesterday afternoon on "Where Are We in Religion?" He spoke of his pleasure in seeing the various unions and efforts in that direction which have been going on among the denominations. In regard to the proper work of the church in a community Dr. Gladden said that its great tragedy had been the failure to understand its mission to bring the kingdom of heaven down to the earth instead of merely getting people safely out of this world into heaven. "The one great curse consuming the souls of men is the worship of money," said Dr. Gladden, and this has been destructive of thy proper spirit in the church as well as in business activity.
"The kingdom of God is coming with power. If the truth is not spoken by the church then it will be by others," said Dr. Gladden.
Dr. Gladden spoke this afternoon on "Where Are We in Education," especially to the visitor at the University for the high school conference. He will speak at the vesper services at 4:00 o'clock tomorrow afternoon on "The New Knighthood."

THE PROFITS OF THE SENIOR PLAY.
The recent rumors of a disagreement between the men entrusted by the senior class of the University with the production of the senior play raises the question of what the play means to the members of the class—a question that has been lost to sight in some of its phases for a number of years. The reported disagreement was over the division of the profits of the play. Since 1902 the amount of money which the play has brought in above expenses has gone to the business manager of the play to reconcile him for the time and effort he has expended and the financial risk he has assumed. The chairman of the play committee also expended much time and labor but as he had assumed no financial obligation he was given no share in the proceeds. The chairman of the play committee worked for nothing more than the recognition he would get for having produced a play that would rise to the dramatic standards maintained at the University and be a credit to his clas. The manager of the play has usually spent as little money as he could consisten with his honor and self-respect staging the committee's play and has pocketed the rest of the income from the play. Previous to 1902, the manager of the play was given a chance to work for his class as well as himself in "putting on" the play. The profits of the play in those days—whether the amount was small or large—were turned over to the Students' Loan Fund. The class as a whole thus expressed its appreciation of the value of a university training by adding to a fund which would enable deserving students coming after them to complete the work necessary for a degree, in cases where that would not be possible without the help of the Fund. Though it is seldom heard of by the student body, there is still a Student Loan Fund. That it is a useful thing is shown by the fact that every del
far in the Fund is now being used by students who need financial help. That a larger Fund could be put to good use is shown by a recent occurrence. The Association of Collegiate Alumnae founded a small scholarship for upper class girls. When the awarding of the scholarship was considered it was learned that there are a number of senior girls in the University who would be able to graduate if given a loan as small as $25, and who could not graduate if the money were not forthcoming from somewhere. If the senior class wishes to make the senior play a matter in which every member of the class can take pride; if it wishes to take the faplum of the play profits out of petty class politics; if it wishes to avoid quarrels about who shall get a rake-off out of the proceeds —why not revive the custom of putting the profits into the Student's Loan Fund.

Their black and tan Oxfords portray the finest bench-work and the smartest modeling you will see in a good many seasons. It gives us much pleasure to say that we have the exclusive Lawrence agency for these excellent Shoes, the prices of which are
Ober's HEAD-TO-FOOT OUTFITTERS
THEY CAME YESTERDAY
"Rah, rah, rah—mud, mud Mudhole High school, Rah," wa the cry that drifted over Mount Oread yesterday morning and th high school boys broke over the crest of the hill of knowledge and were upon the University in ful force.
High School Boys Brought Rah Rah Spirit.
Onward they came, each giving evidence of having absorbed several pages of the book entitled "The Clothes of a Rah,Rah Boy," and within a short time the colors of the hat bands and the arm bands of the various educational institutions of the state blended into one glorious rainbow. And the human rainbow moved steadily across the campus toward the gymnasium where the boys were shortly afterward to meet each other face to face in deadly basket-ball combat.
As the column reached the east end of the gymnasium a meek, but jealous freshman eyed the leaders and inquired in an inquisitive tone, "Where are you from," and giving evidence of striving to contain a feeling that some one was usurping his place at the school he waited for the reply.
"We're from Mudhole, mud mud, Mudhole high school," wa the answer and the material o future University activity wandered on.

HAVE BUILT A WIRELESS
ARE NOW SENDING AND RE CEIVING MESSAGES.
Mystrom and Koonson, Students
from Topeka, Are the
Builders.
C. W. Nystrom, a junior electric, and Charles Robinson, a sophomore mechanical, both or ropeka, man, have put them seives into the lime-light of mechanical activities of the University, by pertecting a wireless telegraph apparatus.
Both were classmates in the Topeka high school and both have been interested since their graduation in the practical uses to which electricity may be put. Nystrom, perhaps more than Moinson, because he had early decided to become an electrical engineer, has devoted much thought to the wireless system on telegraphy.
Neither of the students has ever had any practical experience in a telegraph office and all then knowledge of the subject has been gained entirely through study of books on the subject.
Nystrom first thought of the practical application of his knowledge last summer and was prompted by various experiments which have come up in the classroom this year.
Soon after school started las fall Nystrom suggested the idea of building a wireless system to Robinson. They then began planning and reading about such subjects and the result was that their plan for the perfecting of the present miniature communicating system was developed.
The two live about a block apart, Nystrom at 1320 Ohio and Robinson at 19 W. Adams, and so it was planned that the two stations should be established at the two houses. A set of wires, called an aerial, was strung to take the place of erecting a tower and then the work of making the more intricate parts of the mechanism was begun. The two students made all of the parts of the system themselves with the exception of the sounding key and the spark coils.
After all the parts were made and the wiring connected they began the most difficult part of all that of adjusting the machinery.
They worked for one month at this, but for some reason were still unable to send or receive messages and it looked for a while that all their work would be in vain. One Saturday evening however, after spending the most part of the day making minor ad justments, Nystrom sat down at his key to practice on the Morse code, and was agreeably surprised to receive a reply to his message from his friend.
They talked over the keys until late that night and the next day they put the finishing touches to their aparatus. Since then they have added many more small conventions to the mechanism until now they can carry on conversations with each other very easily at all times.

Halley's comet, spectacular decelict of the heavens, will appear within the range of human vision with the next three weeks.
The great comet is now in the constellation Pisces, and can be seen with the aid of glasses, after 7 o'clock in the evening, provided the skies are clear and the lower strata of air free from smoke and dust.
The comet now is about 100,000,000 miles from the earth and is approaching the sun at a rate of twenty miles a second. It will be visible from 7 until 10 o'clock each night when the sky is clear.
ELEVEN MEN ELIGIBLE.
Halley's comet has not crossed our solar system since 1832. It is one of the most brilliant wanderers in the skies and will appear to inhabitants of the earth as a broad band of fire, when it comes within range of the unaided eye. On May 18, 1910, the comet will be but 12,500,000 miles from the earth.
Halley's comet can now be found in the great square of Pegasus, which can be located by the novice of training a strong pair of glasses a little above the reflection of the setting sun shortly before 7 o'clock.
Two of Last Year's Linemen Can Play at Missouri.
Of the football veterans who will return to the University of Missouri next fall, linemen are the scarcest, says the University Missouriian. Only two of the linemen who won their "M's" last fall will be eligible to represent Missouri in football in 1910. They are F. B. Thaeder guard, and E. H. Johnson, tackle.
Veteran back field men and ends will be plentiful. Three halfbacks, three ends, two quarterbacks, and one fullback are left from the 1909 regulars. Prewitt Roberts, a fullback who won his “M” in 1907, probably will be eligible, too.
SWIM AGAINST CURRENT.
Eleven of the nineteen football players will be awarded "M's" last fall will be eligible for the 1910 team. They are: J. S. Clare L. H. Curtis, E. C. Hall, T. D. Hackney, O. M. Idler, E. H. Johnson, Edward Klein, J. E. Pixlee, G. B. Shuek, W. H. Saunders, and F. B. Thacher. A. B. Wilder will return to school next fall, but will be ineligible because of conditions in his studies.
Advice of Dr. Gladden in His Chapel Talk.
"Man is not merely a drop in the river of circumstances," said Dr. Gladden, in chapel yesterday morning in discussing the extent to which environment determines character. "Nature furnishes the medium for man but he is a swimmer in and against the current." Such was Dr. Gladden's argument in expanding his scripture text: "Be not fashioned according to this world."
Last call for St. Patrick's post cards at McColloch's drug store.
Dr. Gladden believes it is a part of the heritage of human experience that a man can choose right if he wills and that he i not merely an unresisting drop in a flood. Nevertheless he feels that it is necessary to urge all to hold fast to the truth, as in school and out it is all too easy to yield to popular feeling and to the peril of the current of custom.

LOAN FUND TOO SMALL
MANY APPLICATIONS FOR MONEY.
Profits From Senior Plays Make Up About Two-Thirds of the Amount of Fund.
The University committee in charge of the Students' Loan Fund has more applications for loans than it it able to grant with the funds on hand, and is awaiting some additions to the fund in order that a number of deserving persons may be helped through school.
The fund is now being used by sixteen persons. Most of them are now students attending the University, but a few are recent graduates who have not yet paid back amounts which they have borrowed from the fund. The fund now amounts to something more than $1,200.
About two-thirds of this amount has been paid into the fund by the senior classes of previous years from the profits arising from the senior plays. The debating council has paid a small amount, and private gifts make up the remainder of the fund. Senior classes which have contributed to the fund and the amounts which they have given are as follows:
Class of 1894 ... $340,30
Class of 1895 ... 18,25
Class of 1896 ... 100,00
Class of 1897 ... 150,00
Class of 1898 ... 133,10
Class of 1899 ... 34,40
Class of 1900 ... 15,91
Class of 1901 ... 70,0
In 1902 the custom of turning the proceeds of the play into the fund was discontinued.

"It Develops Courage Both Phys ical and Moral."—Bryan.
FAVORS FOOTBALL.
After the Arizona-New Mexico football game at Tucson, Ariz., William Jennings Bryan, who had been an interested spectator, took occasion to voice his sentiments in regard to the great gridiron game.
He would not, he said, abolish the grand American college sport because of an occasional injury sustained in it. There is danger in any manly sport, and, while preferring to meet the exigencies of the political rather than the gridiron struggle, yet he is heartily in favor of the sport.
"Football," Mr. Bryan said in part, "is a means of developing in young manhood those qualities which above all others are required of successful men of our nation today, be it in business, politics or profession. Not only does the contest on the gridiron develop muscular strength to maintain and help through years, but it develops mental skill and brain power, which is so indispensable to the highest efficiency. But above al, in my opinion, football develops courage—both physical and moral. And in this gift of courage football equips us for the trying moral struggles through life."
CARTER WILL LECTURE.

ATE DOG BISCUIT.
Freshmere Attend Sophomore Banquet as Prisoners.
While the eighty-five sophomores of New York University regaled themselves one night with a full course dinner at the Cafe Normandie, nine captive freshmen sat looking on as comfortably as sundry fetters would permit. Each of them had a portion of dog biscuit and water in front of him.
The only way the freshmen could eat was dog-fashion, for ropes bound the arms and legs of all of them, and one vicious specimen wore also a pair of hand-cuffs. The fun started in the afternoon when the sophomores captured Albert Nixon, the freshmen's president and quarterback on the 'Varsity football team, and set guard over him in a barn at One Hundred and Ninety-second street and Grand Avenue. One by one as the afternoon wore on other freshmen were waylaid until by dark Nixon had seven companions. Lest they try something hazardous they were tightly coiled in rope.
When time arrived to start for the class dinner the sophomores boosened the leg bindings of the prisoners enough to permit them to walk and tramped them down to the train in the middle of a hollow square. Resue efforts by the remainder of the freshman class, were outgeneraled, and the procession boarded the train intact and in good order.
At Ninety-sixth street a sophomore picket spied a freshman waiting on the station platform and lastooed him. This was the specimen who got the handeuffs for having the temerity to resist. Express and local subway trains both held over while the passengers came out on the platform and watched this exciting capture. The victors then had nine of the enemy in tow and reached the cafe with them minus further incident.
The proceeding was so uncommon that the sophomores were boasting that it had no precedent in any class at the university.

TWO JUNIORS COMPOSE SONGS
JUNIOR FARCE TO BE A MUSICAL COMEDY.
Graham and Gillman Have Written the Musical Numbers—Tryout for Parts Next Tuesday.
The farce, "The Student Count," which accompanies the annual junior prom this spring is to be an original musical comedy according to the announcement made this afternoon. And more than that not only all of the lines have been written by students of the third year class, but the musical hits as well have been composed by two juniors. They are Matt Graham and Ray Gillman. These students have composed, it is said, a number of bright, catchy songs which will be sung for the first time this year.
The book of the farce itself has been written by members of the farce committee. The story is one of modern times and the scene is one that will be instantly recognized. The question of international marriage is the theme of the piece and the amusing and ridiculous situations arising from this question when applied to student life form the main feature of the farce.
The play this year will include a chorus of twenty people, besides the ten principals who are scheduled to carry off the leading honors of the evening. Special scenery will be provided and various other novel features will be anounced later.
The farce committee, together with Miss Gertrude Mossler, the director, will hold a tryout for parts a week from tonight, March 22, at 7:00 o'clock in Fraser hall. At that time all who attend the try out will be expected to be prepared to show some elocutionary or vocal talent.

STUDENTS ARRESTED.
Hopping Street Cars Gets Them in Trouble.
Two well known University students were arrested last night by a street car conductor and taken to the county jail where they were lodged in the public cell.
The students, both of whom should have known better from recent experiences, persisted in jumping on and off a Massachusetts street car. The conductor ejected both of the men three times before they were arrested Each time they were forced of the car it was done because they refused to pay fare.
Because of early classes this morning the students were released late last night and in al probability there will be no prosecution.

It will be a meeting of the entire committee and will be the first that every member of the committee has had an opportunity to attend this year.
Reports hinting trouble be between the manager of the senior play and the chairman of the play committee, which have circulate during the past week, led President Neal to seek a conference with Mr. Nanee.
"I spoke to Mr. Nance of the need of harmony on his committee," said Mr. Neal this morning. "Mr. Nance, it seems, claims that the girls of the committee, or two of them at least, agreed to let him write the play and present it them to assign parts. Of the three girls on the committee, Miss Sutton and Miss Lawson, say that nothing was said to them about this. A synopsis of the play will be read at the meeting this evening.
"Some of the reports may have been exaggerated, but however that may be, the senior class is going to stand for its rights t have a good play."

TO DEVELOP THE HEAVY HITTERS
The warm breezes slipping over McCook had the desired effect on Ebright's base ball try-outs and the way the twenty-five boy frisked around the bases, cavorted about the fields and pounded the ball, sent little thrills of joy into the heart of the coach.
Twenty-Five Men Try Out for Positions on Ball Team. —Much Enthusiasm.
The men who are trying out are vastly in excess of the number of places and the competition is strong. It is hoped that the result will be to develop a team hitters and men to be chosen for this talent rather than for fielding ability.
"The trouble with our team last year," said Coach Ebright we that the men could not hit whips meant runs. This year we will devote the most of our time to remedying this defect and if the men continue to show the form they are now exhibiting, they will be second to none in the valley."

TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 1910.
Friends of the University of Misssouri are agitating for a fixed tax to be levied for the support of the University. This is to free the institution from the necessity of appealing every two years to a legislature which is too busy playing politics to attend properly or fairly to the needs of education. The University of Missouri fared rather badly at the hands of the last Missouri legislature, and naturally its directors do not wish to repeat the experience. The University of Kansas has the same problem to face. In a short time the biennial fever of interesting the legislators in the higher education of Kansas must begin. It is sometimes hard for the academic mind to get the legislator's view point, too. One Solon said he did not get a good impression of the University when with his fellow Solons he visited Lawrence during the last session. "They fed us better at Manhattan," he explained.
A dispatch from Madison, Wis. says that the students and faculty of the University of Wisconsin have signed an agreement to abstain from treating one another to intoxicating drinks in the future. Out here in Kansas, while we have problems enough to keep us busy most of the time, we are spared some problems that arise in higher education in states where there are saloons in the university towns.
The University of Kansas, at least, is safe from further criticisms on the part of Millionaire Crane of Chicago. When next he criticises the faculty for being unable to hold down high-salaried jobs such as they pretend to pre-pare students for, he will be confronted with the fact that a member of the faculty of the University of Kansas has been offered a position on a league baseball team.
"Nothing set in the midst of naught," is Dr. Percival Lowell's description of the tail of Halley's comet. That tail must be almost as thin and unsubstantial as next year's football plans at the University of Kansas.
No, you're wrong. The junior farce this year is called "The Student Count," not "The Student Council." There are also seniors on the Student Council.
WORK ON STREET
CAR LINE STARTED
Cars to Reach Summit of Hill Within a Month, According to Present Plans.
The work of completing the car line over the campus from Mississippi street to Ontario street was begun yesterday. D. Dwyer, superintendent of construction for the eastern company that is building the line, will arrive in Lawrence Wednesday to push the work. At that time the working force of twenty men and six teams will be doubled. The line will be extended from Mississippi street and by April 1 the line will be opened to the top of the hill. The complete circuit connecting the south end of the Tennessee line will be completed by May 1.
The company is now running a fifteen minute service, but when the line over the hill is opened the service will be doubled during rush hours.
The station that is to be built at the University will be located in North hollow, opposite the law building. It will be built of cut stone and roofed with fancy tile. A platform will be built on the campus near the gym where the double track will be located.

SCOOP CLUB AND M. U. PRESS CLUB MET.

Thirty-Two Guests at First Banquet of the Two Missouri Valley Schools.
"Well, I guess the millinnium's about due," said a former student of the University of Missouri, after he had looked and listened a moment at the door of the grill room of the Sexton hotel in Kansas City Saturday night.
What he saw there was a group of students and former student of the Universities of Kansas and Missouri sitting together at a banquet. What he heard was the Kansas yell applauded by Missouri men and the Missouri yell applauded by Kansas men. The Scoop club of the University of Kansas and the Dana Press club of the University of Missouri were holding their first meeting together.
Six members of the Dana Press club journeyed up from Columbia to attend the meeting, with Prof Frank Martin of the Missouri school of Journalism. They are all enthusiasts in newspaper world and the members of the Sooop club say they profited much from meeting the Missouri men. The Dana club members present were Prof. Frank Martin of the University of Missouri school of journalism; J.B. Powell, managing editor of the University Missouri an; H.E.Ridings, president of the University Missourian board Vaughn Bryant, J.E. Chasnof and G.V.Kenton.
Thirteen active members of the Scoop club were present. Arthur Riddle of the Minneapolis Messenger, Wallace Hovey of the Hawaii News-Democrat, and John Paul Jones, who is now practising law at Bonner Springs, were alumni members who came to Kansas City for the banquet. The remainder of the thirty-two guests were alumni of the Universities of Kansas and Missouri, who are now in newspaper work at Kansas City. They were Henry Schott, C. L. Edson, Jerome Beatty, Marvin Creager, Roy Roberts Cecil Eastman, John Lovett, H Clay Waters and H. M. Hoelke of the Kansas City Star and Times Theodore Alford and James Craig of the Kansas City Post.
Jerome Beatty of the Kansas City Times, the first president of the Scoop club, was the toastmaster. J. B. Powell of the University Missourian, Harry Kemp. "Dooley" Riddle of Minneapolis Frank Martin of the School of Journalism of the University of Missouri, Henry Schott, Marvin Creager and C. L. Edson of the Times, and James Craig of the Post were the speakers.
Mr. Craig told of the trouble he had when he first went into newspaper work at Kansas City to find another college man on a paper there who was not from the University of Kansas.
"Finally," he said, "Frank Martin came down from Nebraska, and then we two could get together and say what we pleased about the Jayhawkers."
C. L. Edson read a chapter of a novel he is writing, a love story with its setting the University of Kansas. "A novel," said Mr. Edson, "should be eaten like a watermelon. It should be broken open and the heart should be secooped out first. Too often we gnaw through the rind of a story
only to find when we get to the heart of it that the thing is rotter inside." Acting on this theory Mr. Edson, instead of putting his introduction at the beginning of the book, has placed it at the end of the first chapter.
Henry Schott gave the journalism students a talk about "Getting a Job." He extended to the two clubs an invitation from Col. W. R. Nelson to be the guests of the Star at their next meeting in Kansas City.
Harry Kemp read two poems which he has lately had accepted by the magazines, and a third, which he composed on the evening of the banquet in honor of the newspaper profession, is as follows:
Here's to that, modest, unpretentious band
Who fling the day's news broadcast through the land,
Who, mid most of our joy, and woe,
and strife.
Keeping their fingers on the pulse of life.
Like wise physicians, on the symptoms dwell
On these, our times, and future ills foretell.
Not theirs the light that beats upon a throne;
They pass their arduous days and nights, unknown;
Sufficient praise to them is work well done.
With each new day their toil's anew begun.
And thus they ever lift the Present's glass
Wherein the world may see its own self pass
In swift review, fleet as the wings of Time.
With Poverty and Wealth, Reform and Crime.
Yet, though unknown, they grope not with the blind,
But grip the hidden springs that move mankind;
A power is theirs to make and unmake fame.
Though they themselves have no recorded name.
To them the Mighty and the Haughty bend,
And all the Powers that be must con descend
From their proud course—the prince the general bold,
The magnate, rich in stocks and bonds and gold—
And many a Public Graft which flees the sight,
By them is caught and dragged forth into light
Of open shame—so here's to those brave men
Who fight the Nation's fight with val iant pen;
For Public Good, long may they strive and be
The People's guardians of Liberty.

VESPER SERVICE CLOSED SERIES
DR. GLADDEN ON "THE NEW KNIGHTHOOD."
For the Past Week the Lecturer Has Addressed Large Audiences Each Day.
Dr. Washington Gladden gave a fitting close to his series of lectures during the week of the Bible Institute in his address on Sunday afternoon at the vesper service on "The New Knight hood." To outline the characteristics which are to exemplify the new chivalry he quoted several of the admonitions in the letters of the apostles Peter and Paul.
Though the spirit of the ol chivalry is not to be ridiculed, Dr Gladden suggested its limitation in that the old knights were willing to exercise their virtues for but a limited class. Furthermore the new knighthood is an improvement because it consecrates rather than condemns trade.
Dr. Gladden presented a strong elaboration of an argument of Professor James, which advocates the preparation for a close friendship with poverty by the modern man as an excellent moral equipment for war. According to the great Ohio preacher, the distinctive mark of the new knighthood is courage—the courage which is not afraid of poverty. The man thus armed is truly brave and can be independent in his efforts for the betterment of mankind.
The founder of the new knighthood inevitably is Christ who though rich, became poor. To obey him will bring the truest membership in the order of the knighthood. The beauty of the authem admirably sung by the chorus furnished to the large audience a pleasing addition to the afternoon service. The instrumental prelude and postlude fully equaled the high standard which has been attained in that part of the vesper services during the past winter.
CHEMICAL SOCIETY MET.
Afternoon and Evening Sessions Held.

MAY ESTABLISH A NEW COURSE
DEPARTMENT OF PHOTOG RAPHY FOR COLLEGE?
Plans to Establish Such a Course May Be Presented to Regents This Week.
Plans are being formulated for the establishment of a new department of study in the College—a full course in photography. brief course of that kind was given during last year's summer session and it was probably the interest manifest at that time that has brought about the consideration of a permanent course.
Already the proposed department has been discussed pretty thoroughly by a number of the members of the faculty and with the Chancellor and all look upon its establishment favorably. How ever, no definite plans have yet been made and before anything further is done the idea will be presented to the Board of Regents for the consideration of it members. The probabilities are that the matter will be taken up at the meeting which is called for this week.
In the event of the establishment of such a course the work would be divided among the several departments of the University which include courses desire in, the art of photography. The full curriculum would include such courses as chemistry, psychology, philosophy, drawing and painting. Practical photograph, will also probably be included and will include the scientific as well as the artistic side.
Necessarily it will be some time before the course may be completely established: Such a department would require special laboratories such as the University cannot now provide. It is planned, however, to build the necessary laboratories in the new Administration building in the event that the Regents look upon the establishment of the new course favorably.

WOMEN SET THE TONE.
Theirs the Duty to Make College Spirit, Says Dr. Gladden.
"Kansas is going to be, if it is not now, the greatest state in the United States," said Dr Washington Gladden in his talk at the Y. W. C. A. banquet Saturday night in Snow hall. "The evidence of her greatness is in the building and presence of this University." In speaking further of universities, he said that although he was not a graduate of one or them, yet he believed that the greatness of the nation was an eloquent in the state universities.
Dr. Gladden spoke of the gradual growth of woman's place in colleges and universities and o that place as a social factor. He urged that the true spirit and ter per of a university should be given en and set by the women st students. Dr. Gladden is a thorough believer in the higher education, of women. "Of all the money have spent in my life," he said "none has brought me more profit than that invested in my daugh ter's college education."
After Dr. Gladden's talk the following toasts were given. Mr.
A. M. Wileox acted as toastmistress:
"The University and the Association," by Miss Grace Elmore; "Unity in the Association," by Miss Nadia Thomas; and "From the Seniors," by Miss Lauren Steven.

HEIZER WILL BE THE NEXT CAPTAIN In All Probability the Center Will Be Elected Tomor. row Night.
In all probability the captain of the 1911 basket ball squad will be Robert Heizer, a junior in the College. The election will take place tomorrow night at the Eldridge house, at which time the annual basket-ball banquet will be held.
Up until a few days ago threemen were believed to be eligible They were Heizer, Long and Martindell. Martindell found yesterday, however, that he was credited with having played a few minutes in a varsity game during his sophomore year and consequently was ineligible on account of the existing three-year rule.
Thus Long and Heizer are left to contest for the captaincy. Long however, declares that he will not be a candidate and as a result Heizer is left with a clear field. Heizer has served on the 'Varsity for two seasons at center. He is a heady player and has done much good work.

NUMBER 68
BE GIVEN LATTER PART OF MAY.
Members of the Committee and Also the Manager, Say the Trouble Is Ended.
“Harmony” was the watchword at the senior play committee's first meeting, which was held at the Chi Omega sorority house Tuesday evening, and "harmony" is the word which best describes the relations now existing between the manager of the play and the chairman of the play committee. The trouble which has existed is now no more.
"Mr. Cain, manager of the play, will set the date," said Val Nance, chairman of the play committee, today. "All published reports to the effect that there has been friction on the committee have been without foundation. There is no trouble and never has been."
"I am glad to see the committee working in good order, and I hope no more trouble will come up," said George Neal, president of the senior class.
"Everything is going along beautifully," said Miss Gail Sutton, a member of the play committee. "There is no friction in the committee and in a short time the dialogue will be complete."
"The date of the play will probably be two or three weeks later than the date first published," said Milton Cain, manager of the play. "I am anxious that neither the play committee nor the staff of the Jayhawker shall be discommoded in the least."
"The news that the play will not be held May 4 and 5 came as a welcome relief to the Jayhawker staff," said Editor Ralph Spotts. "It will now be possible to get out a much better Annual than we could have produced working under pressure."
At the meeting Tuesday night the men on the committee presented the synopsis of a play which they had been working or for some time. The entire committee is now working on the dialogue of the play and meetings will be held every afternoon and evening until it is completed.

OFFER PRIZE BY MISTAKE
But Bryan Prize Committee Will Make Offer Good.
The student who wins the Bryan prize this year will owe his success to a mistake on the part of the committee in charge of the prize.
The Bryan prize is supposed to be awarded once every two years to the student who submits the best essay on an assigned economic or political subject. Thos A. Nevins was the winner of the prize last year. Under the rules the prize would not be offered this year.
For more than a month, however, a sheet has been posted on the bulletin board under the clock in Fraser hall, setting forth the subject and the conditions under which it may be won in 1910 The committee did not learn o its mistake until one day last week. After a conference, the committee members—Prof. F. H Hodder, Prof. C. G. Dunlay and Prof. E. M. Hopkins—decided not to withdraw the offer.
"The amount of the prize will be the same as last year," said Prof. F. H. Hodder, to a Kansas reporter. "We made a mistake and we decided to make it good." The professor did not say how the fund will be made up.
The subject assigned this year is "Commission Government of Cities, with special reference to Kansas."

PETITION REQUESTS CALLING OF MASS MEETING.
Student Body Will Be Given a Chance to Voice Itself on the Football Question.
Because of the fact that the students of the University have as yet been allowed no opportunity of expressing their views on what should be done with regard to legislation against football, the Kansan, this morning caused a petition to be circulated among the students. The petition is addressed to the Student Council, and reads as follows:
"We, the undersigned, students of the University of Kansas, do hereby petition the Student Council to call a mass meeting of the members of the student body as soon as possible for the purpose of obtaining the sentiment of the student body with regard to the present status of football in the University. And, we further ask that the Student Council convey that sentiment to the Board of Regents of the University."
Within two hours after the petition was signed by the first student 227 names had been added.
It has already been presented to George A. Neal, secretary of the Student Council. A meeting of the council will be held next week and the date for the calling of the students together will be decided at that time.
The constitution of the Student Council declares that that body shall represent the student body. The constitution also provides that the Council shall call mass meetings for the consideration of sent themselves to the student all important subjects which prebody and shall work for the student body in its decisions or those subjects.
For that reason the petition was circulated and the names secured. Many more than are needed have been signed and without doubt the Student Council will call a mass meeting within a short time. When the meeting is called each student will be given a chance to express his views with regard to the legislation that should be taken against foot ball.
Prof. and Mrs. F. H. Hodder will entertain the members of the Graduate School at their home 1115 Louisiana street, Saturday evening, March 19.

LET THE REGENTS KNOW.
What is the sentiment of the student body regarding football. The Kansas believes it is almost unanimously in favor of the game substantially as it has been played in the last few years, and that great dissatisfaction would follow an attempt to substitute Rugby for the present game. For the student body to convey its wishes in the matter to the Board of Regents would be a propelling thing to do. The student council is or should be the medium through which the wishes of the student body are made known to the University authorities.
From Topeka comes the news that the state board of health is preparing for a great campaign against the fly. Coal Ebright and his squad began a "swat the fly" campaign out or McCook field the other day that will be prosecuted vigorously al spring.

Special music will also be provided for the meetings Tuesday and Wednesday day evening.
TO PLAY PART OF HOST.
"K" Club Will Entertain High School Athletes.
Hereafter, when high school athletic contests are held at the University, whether they are track meets or basket-ball tournaments, the visitors are to receive more attention. This was agreed upon at a called meeting of the "K" club last night.
No formal meeting was held there not being sufficient members present to transact business but those members of the club who attended the meeting talked over the matter of entertaining high school athletes, and it was the unanimous opinion of those present that the "K" club could help the University much by doing this.
"How soon will the 'K' club get into a house?" was asked of Dick Waring. "I don't look for us to get a house this spring," he said, "but next fall when football starts, we ought to get into our own quarters."
"We also intend to invite all the high school athletes to the annual May Fete and the members of the 'K' club will show them about the University and in that way get in closer touch with the men."
WILL MEET WESTON
Walking Club Plans a Hike From Lake View.
Twenty members of the University Walking club have planned to meet Edward Payson Weston, the veteran long distance walker, at Lake View Sunday morning and accompany him from that place to Lawrence.
Weston started from Los Angeles February 1, on a long walk to New York City. He is scheduled to make the distance in ninety days and is now seven days ahead of his schedule.
The members of the club, how ever believe that they will be able to keep up with the walker and one or two even assert that they will reach Lawrence ahead of Weston.
To Enter Five Men.
Manager Lansdon expects to send at least five men to participate in the Missouri Valley invitation meet to be held in Omaha April 1, under the auspices of the Omaha Athletic club.
The following men have entered: Haddock and Roberts in the dashes, French in the high jump. Gribble and Watson will run in long distance events, unattached. The relay team will also be entered provided that the O.A. club will advance the expenses to cover the railway fare.
The Omaha Athletic club was recently organized by the army officers who are situated at the army post in Omaha and they intend to make this meet an annual event if this year proves to be a success.
Miss Gertrude Mossler and Miss Grayee Waugh go to Wamego next Thursday to hold the tryout for the Wamega high school play. The tryout will be under the supervision of Miss Waugh.

It is a great pleasure to talk about such Clothes as these. It is a big satisfaction to be able to say, and to know it is true, that we offer you at these prices a measure of value that can be had no where else for the same money. You cannot examine these garments without knowing that they come from the best clothing makers in the country. Nothing but the supremely highest art could produce such faultlessly made, smartly designed apparel. As for the patterns and colors, we selected them individually---each according to its merits. There are no "undesirables," no "uncertainties." It is quality showing, pure and simple. One feature of the display we want you to note particularly is the wonderful variety of new effects in gray, blue and pencil-striped patterns.

RULES MUST BE CHANGED
OR RUGBY WILL REPLACE MODERN FOOTBALL.
Manager Lansdon Believes Material Changes in the Present Rules Must Be Made.
"Unless the present rules of the game of football are materially changed within a short time by 1911 I expect to see Rugby football become the leading college sport among the schools of the Missouri valley," said Manager W. C. Lamsdon, in speaking of the present status of football in the University this morning.
Contrary to the expectation of many of those who take the most interest in the game at the school very little interest has evidenced itself on the part of the student body with regard to the movement to abolish football. This is probably due to the fact that the students believe that the game is in no danger. Yet Manager Lansdon believes that the situation is a grave one as far as reform goes, and many others share his belief.
The national rules committee meets in New York on March 25. At that time the national rule which will govern the playing o the game next season will be adopted. On April 19 the conference of the Missouri valley schools will be held at Kansa City with a view of adopting rules for the valley teams. The fate of the game at the University probably depends upon these two meetings.
When asked if he thought basketball would ever take the place of football in college sports, Manager Lansdon said that be believed the game of basketball would continue to be the most popular of indoor college sports, but could not take the place football now occupies.

VOLUME VI.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 19, 1910
FORMAL ACTION AGAINST T. N. E.
OFFICIALLY FORBIDDEN AT UNIVERSITY.
The Eleven Members Now in School Say They Were Unaware of the Rules.
"This action was taken because there had never before been any formal ruling by the Regents in regard to T. N. E.," said Chancellor Strong this morning. "This action makes an infraction of the resolution a matter of discipline By the terms of the resolution the Chancellor is authorized to take such action as seems to him ad visable.
The formal action in regard to T. N. E., which was expected at the meeting of the Board of Regents Thursday, materialized in the form of a resolution, formally forbidding the existence of the society at the University of Kansas.
"The investigation that has been made has shown T. N. E. to be such a loose organization that it is difficult to deal with. I have not fully formulated the further action that will be taken, except that it will be taken through the other fraternities. That seem to be the best way to handle it.
NUMBER 69
"Every one of the eleven men who admitted being members of T. N. E. in reply to the letters recently sent out from the Chancellor's office, claimed either to have joined T. N. E. before April 1907, or to have been a member before coming to the University of Kansas, or to have been taken into membership by persons not connected with the University of Kansas. All disclaimed having had any connection with any local organization of T. N. E., except on two occasions when a number of them signed a petition asking to have the chapter rein stated here. All whose memberships dated later than 1907 claimed that they did not know they were breaking any rule of the University at the time they joined."
SPOKE AT BANQUET.
Prof. L. E. Sayre of the University was invited to address the club and to act as one of the hosts of the evening in the absence of Governor W. R. Stubbs
Prof. L. E. Sayre Represented the University.

INITIATION LAST NIGHT

The fourteen new members of the University of Kansas chapter of Phi Beta Kappa were initiated into the honorary fraternity at a meeting held last night in the parlors of the Methodist church. The president of the society, Professor M. W. Sterling, presidec as toastmaster at the banquet.
Six of the new members responded to toasts as follows "The Insurgent," R. L. Douglas "The K. U. Faculty in 1916," Miss Blanche Zurcher; "The K. U. Campus in 1916," E. D. Cressman; "The Ideal Student in 1916," Miss Grace Thestrup "The K. U. Woman in 1916," Miss Florentine Hackbusch "Student Government in 1916," R. L. Spotts. The faculty members of the society were represented by Miss Oliver, who spoke on "The University Seal," and Prof. E. W. Murray, who spoke on "Academic Freedom."
TOO MUCH SMOKING
If It Doesn't Stop in Buildings and on Steps——
Chancellor Strong in a talk in chapel yesterday morning called attention to the great amount of smoking that is being done on the steps and approaches of University buildings and inside some of the buildings. This is done in violation of an order of the Board of Regents. The Chancellor said it might be necessary for him to sent some of the worst offenders home for a month to think the matter over if they continued to disregard the order.
"It is important that the order prohibiting smoking in or about the buildings be respected," said Chancellor Strong this morning. "There has been talk of prohibiting smoking entirely on the campus, and it will be necessary to do that if the order is not obeyed." made the request in chapel yester day morning in order that morrastic action might be avoided."
The work of repairing and improving McCook field for the coming spring track meets was begun yesterday morning.
Athletic Field .Being Prepared for Spring Meets.
IMPROVEMENTS AT McCOOK
Many changes are to be effected and a general improvement of the entire field will be made. The track will be widened so that five men will be able to run the dashes at the same time, and a new system of drainage will be installed, so that rainy weather will not hinder outdoor practice. The old football fence will be removed and many other minor improvements made.
Melville Woods went to Kansas City Friday to visit friends.

VARIOUS POINTS OF VIEW
A communication from H. V. Bozell, manager of the Jayhawker in 1908, elsewhere in the issue of The Kansan, sets forth as Mr. Bozell says, the view that is likely to be held by the manager in regard to turning the profits of the senior play into the Students' Loan Fund. The Kansan believes that the manager's view has prevailed too much in recent years, to the exclusion of other interests that ought to be considered. To the class as a whole it is a matter of indifference whether the manager makes a "good thing" financially out of the play or not. But the whole class is interested in having its various enterprises representative in the best way possible. It is to this end that The Kansan has suggested putting the proceeds of the play to a different use than that of mere personal profit.
In Mr. Bozell's article the objection is urged that the manager ought not to be deprived of the profits of his work as long as he has to assume the financial risk That is a valid objection. The class should assume the financial responsibility. Nor would it follow even then that the manager should serve for honor alone Probably somewhat more efficient service could be secured by offering the manager a share of the profits. But the idea that he should have all he can make over and above the expenses of the undertaking is a pernicious one There has been a tendency in recent years here toward the "commercialization" of student enterprises. The idea of service to the class has been supplanted to a large degree by the idea of using the public offices of the student body as a source of profit.
The Michigan plan which Mr Bozell speaks of is worth looking into. The classes at the University may find that they can profitably introduce it into student affairs at the University o Kansas.
A St. Patrick's Day Tea.
The last of a series of teas given by the ladies of the faculty was held in the Classical Museum Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Strong. Mrs. Higgins and Mrs. Haworth were the hostesses. A St. Patrick's Day color scheme was carried out and small shamrocks were given as favors. A harp of smilax served as a centerpiece.

SENIOR PROFITS
H. V. BOZELL WRITES OF PLAY AND ANNUAL.
Suggests New Plan by Which Classes May Gain Control of Class Funds.
To the Editor of The Kansan:
May I, as the manager of a former Jayhawker, have a few words as to the disposal of profits from the senior play and Annual?
The idea that the money from such source should be turned to the Student Loan Fund very naturally has strong attraction to the outsider, and there would doubtless be good result from it but let us look at it from the view point of the manager. He is elected, in either case, not for the profits, or "grapes," which he may be lucky enough to get but for the honor that accrues to him from the place. The class asks him, though, to assume the whole financial responsibility of the production. The manager is required to put in about as much time as the board or committee and above that to do the business outside of that. The amount of this can never be fully realized by one who has not been through it; I, for one, although I was lucky enough to come out ahead would never care to take up such a proposition again for the same amount of money, merely on account of the time and work it took. If the class would attempt to assume the responsibility, there would be more argument on the other side, but who had to stand the loss of the two rainy night in 1905; the poor sale of the Annuals in 1907?
I must disagree from the statement that a minimum is spent, so that profits will increase. The manager keeps down expenses only to such a degree that he feels he will not lose money. With the class of plays and books that the University of Kansas demands of its senior classes nowadays, it is a hard proposition for managers to see how such an expensive production can be put out without a personal loss. If a manager can stage a play or produce a book with business ability enough to have some left over, I
seems he should have that for his work.
It appears to me that it is the system that is wrong in the first place. The chairman and members of the play committee, and the editor and member of the board of the Annual, all do work and should receive something but the manager could hardly pay out of his pocket. If some system, such as is used at Michigan, could be inaugurated, I think everyone would be satisfied. This is to elect managers and editors and chairmen to do the work for a certain modest salary, the class, or school, to assume responsibility, the men working under bond, and any profits to go to some predesignated fund or purpose. Kansas is large enough that some better business basis is needed, and such a one seems feasible. I think all managers who have been through the mill will agree with me in saying that the present system requires, for the best productions, that the managers shall be entitled to the profits—this as long as they are required to as sume their positions as they would assume a private enterprise.

The press dispatches say that "a former student or a professor of the University of Kansas is in the limelight at present through claiming to have discovered that Gentiles and not Jews erucified Jesus." If the claim of the "former student" is true, it is clear that the Arizona cowboy who "beat up" a Jew in 1887, after having learned for the first time that members of the latter's race had put Jesus to death, owes his victim an apology.

Latest is the Pitching Gun.
A new invention, termed "The pitching gun," is being worked out with great success at Annapolis. The gun is expected to give the candidates all the necessary practice to make them able to hit any pitcher. The gun is directed to throw the ball directly over the plate or curve it to any degree u. to eight feet. This is done by simple regulation of the breech. Fifteen pounds pressure is used, thus giving the ball about the speed of an ordinary pitcher. If desired the speed of a modern three-inch rifle can be obtained.
Miss Bessie Daum, a sophomore in the College, who has been confined with pneumonia in the Simmon's hospital for the past month, is sufficiently recovered to attend classes again.
WASHBURN IN TROUBLE.
Former Coach Sues the Athletic Management.
A suit filed with the district court last week by Dr. G. W Weede against the Athletic Board of Control of Washburn college in which the former foot ball coach sues for $475, back salary, seriously threatens the prospects for spring athletics at that institution, and with what is probably the best bunch of track and baseball material in the history of the school there is not the price of a postage stamp in avail able cash to equip the teams for practice and start the work. The students' enterprise fund which was relied on for this purpose,has been garnisheed under this action.
Work on the new quarter mile track and the athletic field have been stopped and the baseball team lacks the necessary equipment for practice. Two track meets have already been scheduled and a baseball schedule is ready for the final arrangements. What policy the athletic board intends to follow under these circumstances is not known as yet, as there has been no meeting of the board since the filing of the suit. The action will come up for trial during the next term of the district court which convene April 4.

The Origin of "Jayhawker."
A bit of Kansas history from the Olathe Register: One morning in the fall of 1856 Pat Devlin, a Free State Irishman, rode into Osawatomie on a horse heavily laden with plunder. “Have you been foraging, Pat?” he was asked. “Yes, I been out jayhawking.” “And what is jayhawking?” was the next question. “Well, you see, we have a bird in Ireland we call the jayhawk; it worries its prey before devouring it. And joyhawking is a good name for the business I've been in.” The name stuck, and while in time the meaning was lost, all Kansans came to be known as “Jayhawkers.”

WELL-EQUIPPED COURSE.
At Wisconsin, 75 Students Are Studying Journalism.
A newspaper laboratory is one of the new features of the course in journalism at the University of Wisconsin this year. It is equipped with seven standard typewriters with desks, on which the students are required to write them stories.
To furnish models for their work, several thousands of well written news stories of all types have been mounted and classified in a large filing case. Magazine and special feature articles taken from newspapers and periodicals have also been provided to furnish students good examples of this kind of material.
Files of the New York papers the Milwaukee and other Wisconsin dailies, and representative weeklies of the state, are preserved for daily reference and use by the students in newspaper work.
Reference books, descriptive matter and illustrations of types setting and type-casting machines, printing presses and stereotyping outfits also form a part of the laboratory equipment.
A "morgue" with obituaries cuts, and matrices of well-known people shows the student how such matter can be preserved for use on short notice.
Over 75 students have enrolled in the six courses offered in various phases of newspaper work.

FOR BETTER FIRE PROTECTION
THE BUILDING OF A LAKE PROJECT
PROPOSED.
By Use of Artificial Reservoir University Would Be in Less Danger From Fire.
The idea suggested by Dr. L. I Blake of the department of Physics many years ago, of having an artificial lake on the campus of the University to be used in case of fire, is about to be realized, according to a statement made by Mr. E. F. Crocker, superintendent of buildings and grounds, this morning.
The original plan suggested by Dr.Blake was to construct a small pool just west of the chemistry buildings. The plan at present however, is to make a lake about two hundred yards wide and three hundred yards long, in front of the new Engineering building, by placing a dam across the mouth of the deep gulch at the southwest corner of the golf links. It is proposed that the dam be about forty feet high and about forty feet thick at the base tapering to sixteen feet at the top.
It is proposed that a pumping station be located on the campground the dam and the lake filled from the city water system. A extra supply of water is urgently needed on Mount Oread, as it is well known that in case of fire the present available supply would be insufficient.
Prof. W.C. Hoad, who has charge of the project, expects to set his engineering classes to work on the preliminary plan within a few days.
The local alumni of the Phil Delta Theta fraternity gave a St. Patrick day party to the members of the active chapter and their lady friends, at the home of Dr. J. W. O'Bryon last night. About sixty-five guests were present.

WOULD HAVE TENNIS COURTS
OUTDOOR SPORTS FOR WOM. EN AGITATED.
Women Will Petition. Board of Regents to Provide Courts on Campus.
A campaign has been started among the University girls to secure tennis courts on the University campus. Plans for forming a tennis club are well under way and the whole movement is being enthusiastically pushed.
"This world is not merely a world for men and this University is not merely a University for men," said Dean Templin, referring to the efforts of the girls toward obtaining these courts.
Dean Templin is not the only one who realizes that although the girls and boys are taxed an equal amount each fall for athletics, the benefits which they drive are very unequal. Severa members of the faculty, especially Miss Corbin, Dr. Naismith and Miss Fish have long desired some plan whereby the girls might have out-door sports.
Several committee meetings have been held and a systematized campaign is being planned by Bessie Rarig, Rose Abbott Florentine Hackbush and Hazel Hall. A petition for the tennis courts will probably be started next week, and will be submitted to the Board of Regents at their next meeting. Different members of the Girls' Student Government council have signified the willingness of that organization to help along the cause of the girls.

RAISE STANDARD OF LAW SCHOOL
YEAR'S COLLEGE WORK EN TRANCE REQUIREMENT.
Beginning Next Fall All Students Entering Law School Must Have Been a Year in College.
Beginning next fall all students entering the School of Law of the University must have completed at least thirty hours, or one year's work, in the College Such was the statement given out from the office of the Chancellor this morning.
"The action was taken primarily to raise the standard of the Law School," said Chancellor Strong this morning. "By such a ruling the students in the School will not only enter with a higher education than at present but many will be induced to become candidates for an A. B. degree before entering upon the study of law."
The action was taken by the faculty of the School of Law at a meeting last Friday and resulted in the passing of a resolution requiring all entrants to the School of Law to have at least thirty hours of work credited to them in the College. The resolution was passed at the suggestion of the Board of Regents and the action now goes back to that body for approval.
The new ruling is expected to place the Kansas school on a higher standing that it has yet reached. At the same time it will not affect those students who take the six years' course, completing requirements for both an A.B. and LL.B. in that time.
Gymnasium and hygiene cred its will not be required under the new ruling and thirty hours worl in any first year courses will sat isfy the entrance requirement.

KENNEDY AND MOSSE CHOSEN
ATHLETIC BOARD DECIDES
COACH QUESTION.
The Two Men Will Undouble/edly Lead 1911 Squad—Spring Practice Next Week.
The meeting of the Athletic board of the University yesterday afternoon resulted in the conditional rehiring of Bert Kennedy and Arthur St. Leger Mossse to coach the football team of 1910. Although the action is by no means final, there is probably no doubt but that the two men will be the mentors for next season.
K
Dr. A. R. Kennedy, Football Coach for 1910.
All depends upon the action taken by the delegates of the Missouri valley schools at the football conference which is to be held in Kansas City on April 19. If the rules are not materially changed at that time or the Rugby style of play adopted, then the board decided to tender the positions of coach and assistant to Kennedy and Mosse respectively. However, if the rules* are changed so as to disfigure the game as it is now played at the University further action will be necessary.

know the game.
"I see no reason why I should not accept the position of coach, if the rules are not materially changed," said Kennedy last night in speaking of the action of the Athletic board. "However, if the rules committee should make any radical changes that would rob the game of its man to man tactics, then 1 would rather see the University adopt Rugby and 1 would quit coaching."
The matter of salaries was not considered by the Athletic board and it is not expected that salary differences will arise.
"I do not believe that there will be any difficulty over the salary question," said the coach when asked about the matter.
In the meantime the members of the football squad will decide upon a date for the beginning of spring practice work. The time will probably be set for some time next week after the national rules committee meets on the 25th of this month. The practice work will be under the direction of Captain Pleasant and Captain-Elect Johnson. Kennedy and Mosse will be asked to participate to any extent that they may desire.
KANSAS TOOK SECOND.
Made Good Showing in K. C. A
C. Meet.
In the fifth annual K. C. A. C. invitation meet in Kansas City last Saturday night, Kansas came in for second honors. The high honors went to K. C. A. C. by a score of 25, and Kansas dropped below only two points, taking second place by a score of 23. While Captain Haddock did not break his record in the fifty-yard dash, French set a new indoor record for the high jump in Kansas City, by jumping six feet and a half inch, and Fisher took the mile handicap in 4:37.
Following are the results of events in which Kansas figured:
50-yard dash, Haddock, third;
shot-put—Ammons, third, 40 feet;

WILL CONSIDER THE PETITION
TAKE UP FOOTBALL MEETING QUESTION TONIGHT.
All but Two Members of Student Council Favor Calling Meeting of Student Body.
Nine of the eleven members of the Student Council have stated that they favor the calling of a mass meeting of the students of the University for the purpose of considering the football question. Two of the members assert that they do not believe the idea of issuing such a call is a good one.
"The mass meeting will be called," said Edwin Baumgartner, president of the council, this morning, "if it is the wish of the students."
The petition, which will be presented, has been signed by nearly 300 students. The constitution of the Student Council requires a petition signed by only fifty students to call a meeting of that kind, and it is confidently expected that the Student Council will abide by the constitution.
The other members, besides the president, who favor the calling of the mass meeting are: John Harbeson, George A. Neal, Horace Hollingsworth, Earl Woodward, Harold Armshy', Robert Fischer, Edwin Cooley and Roy Dietrich.
Virgil McCarty has stated that he does not favor the movement because he believes the football question is one which the Board of Regents should decide. Fred Hesser is also against the calling of the mass meeting. He says, "I am not in favor of a mass meeting for some hot-headed person will be sure to jump up and make some inconsistent motion which I am afraid might carry."
WESTON MET BY STUDENTS.
About Fifty Met the Walker West of Here.
About fifty students and as many more citizens of Lawrence met Edward Payson Weston, the veteran pedestrian, two miles west of here, and accompanied him to the Santa Fe depot this afternoon.
He stopped at Lawrence only long enough to drink several glasses of soda water before continuing his journey to Kansas City. He expects to make forty-seven miles today. He started from Topeka early this morning and arrived here at 3:48.
Before leaving Weston made a short speech to 600 students who had gathered at the depot to meet him.

TUESDAY, MARCH 22, 1910.
Smoking is regarded by one part of the student body as a great nuisance and worse, with out a single excuse for existence and by another part of the student body it is regarded as a great pleasure, which is hardless in moderation. There is no chance that the holders of these widely differing opinions can ever be brought to agree. The best that can be expected is a compromise. For that reason it is to be hoped that the Chancellor's recent warning about smoking on the steps and in the approaches of buildings will be taken seriously by all smokers. It seems a fair division of the campus between the smokers and the non-smokers if the former while being given free range of the grounds elsewhere are asked not to smoke in or near buildings. It has been the policy of the University heretofore to make as few rules as possible regulating the conduct of students. Many of the smaller colleges of the state burden students with petty rules. The impossibility of enforcing them in all cases makes for bad discipline. It would be humiliating to students and to all who are connected with the University if a stringent rule should be come necessary in regard to such a comparatively insignificant matter as smoking. The best way to avoid an era of petty rules is to respect the reasonable one the Regents have made about the use of tobacco in or near buildings.
The young women of the University make a good point when they claim that a portion of the money which the athletic association derives from the fund of the Associated Student Enterprises should be set aside to provide places of outdoor exercise for women. A large number of the "athletic tickets" are paid for by women. It is true that there are no women's athletics which help to pay the expenses of the athletic association, but it is also true that all men's athletics except football are supported largely by the profits which arise from football. No provision is made by the University for outdoor exercise for the women—except, of course, the exercise of climbing the hill each day. Now the women are asking for some tennis courts, and some way ought to be devised to grant this modest request.
The choice which the athletic
board has made provisionally in the matter of football coaches for next fall will be ratified by an overwhelming majority of the student body. "Bert" Kennedy and Arthur St. Leger Mosse have made a great record at the University of Kansas. They have developed a wonderful series of winning teams. They have kept the sport on a clean basis, and have made it a good advertisement for the University as much from that fact as from the fact that their teams have been successful. Both Kennedy and Mosse have been here so long that they "belong," and the student body is glad to know that they are to be the football mentors for the season of 1910.
If all of Mr. Carter's lectures at the University are to be a broad and inclusive in their scope as was the one last night, it will pay every man in the University to hear him. Some parts of his talk on the "Conflicts of University Men in Many Lands" were well adapted to give students at the University of Kansas an idea of their duties, privileges and opportunities which they are too likely to lose sight of in the prosaic round of study and recitations.
HE FAVORS FOOTBALL.
Rev. Wolfe Says Students Should Play the Game.
"Students in the University should play football," said Rev. H. E. Wolfe, pastor of the Lawrence First Methodist Episcopal church, in his speech in chapel last Friday morning. "It is a healthy, manly sport and I believe in encouraging it. When I see a team of players lined up on the gridiron it makes me want to don the football togs and get out myself."
"Students while attending school should not take things too seriously. Now is the best time in your lives and you should take advantage of all of the manly athletics and other recreations which improve the man, morally and bodily, that you can."
Yet, Dr. Wolfe argued that the student should not over-step the boundary line and take four years of good times now and perhaps lose forty years of usefulness later.
Six new engine lathes are being built at Fowler shops by students who are taking work in connection with courses in engineering there. Every two years a half dozen lathes of that sort are built by the students. The parts are all turned out by the men and later are assembled by a special apprentice.

TO PROMOTE ATTENDANCE
Adelphic Society to Suspend Members Who Stay Away.
An urgent request that all members be present at the last meeting of the Adelphic literary society before the Easter holidays brought out nine members yesterday afternoon. The nine thought something ought to be done in regard to the lax attendance at the meetings of the society. So they passed a by-law providing that a member who is absent twice in succession, or who twice fails to appear when he is on the program, shall be dropped from the roll of the society.

A PERPETUAL QUIZ.
The Public Conducts Exam for Law Students.
A novel course in the answering of questions is being carried on in the School of Law of the University. The Capper publications of Topeka, in which the Topeka Capital is included, have departments devoted to the answering of questions which have a legal bearing.
These inquiries are sent to Dean Green of the School of Law and he assigns the questions asked to the seniors, who take great pains in obtaining the correct answers. Often times a student will spend three days in gathering the correct information, which may take but two lines in print. These answers are then sent back to the papers which publish them.
Information is asked by people not only from this state but from all over the country. The advantage in such a system is either for the man whose proposition i not important enough to take to a lawyer, or for the one who can not afford to employ a lawyer.

CARTER GIVES FIRST LECTURE
GREETEY BY LARGE CROWD IN CHAPEL.
Spoke on "Conflicts of College Men."—To Lecture Again Tonight at Seven.
In his address last night in the chapel on "Conflicts of College Men in Many Countries," E. C. Carter began with a discussion of the special struggles which some foreign students have against poverty and adverse political conditions. He mentioned particularly the young men of Turkey and Russia and one sacrificing Brahmin who had been a personal friend.
As equally affecting the American college man, Mr. Carter spoke of the temptation to indifference. To yield to it eventually means moral death to the student here, as well as to the one having a discouraging environment. In speaking of the conflicts with selfishness, the speaker made a strong presentation of the value of true friendship. He told also of how superficiality was sure to weaken even an otherwise strong college man. He referred briefly to the conflict of religious doubt which he will discuss more fully this evening in his address, "The Drift From Doubt."
Chancellor Strong will preside again tonight and the meeting will begin promptly at 7 o'clock as it did last night.
The music, which is led by Professor Hubach, was a special feature. The musical part of the program tonight will include solos by John Powers and Fred Hesser.
Many Had Dutch Lunch.
The third benefit for the Y. M. C. A., given in the form of a "Dutch Market," at the Kappa house Saturday, was much enjoyed and well attended. The requisites of a Dutch lunch were procured at beautifully decorated booths at which "Dutch" maidens presided. The market was open from 5 to 7 o'clock to the young men and women of the University and their friends.

MEMORIAL FOR H. B. NEWSON
CHAPEL SERVICE DEVOTED TO LATE PROFESSOR.
Dean Marvin, Prof. Dunlap, and Prof. Harshbarger Were the Speakers.
A memorial service for Professor Henry B. Newson was held in Fraser hall this morning at the regular hour for the morning chapel exercises. Before introducing the speakers, Chancellor Strong spoke of Professor Newson as one who had had much to to do with the forward movement in the University because he had the far outlook which is part of a strong character.
Prof. C. G. Dunlap spoke on Professor Newson as a personal friend who had known him in his college days as well as during his twenty years of untiring, devoted service in the University. Born in Ohio in 1860, Professor Newson, after a high school education, attended the Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware, Ohio from which he was graduated in 1883. He was recognized while still a youth, as a mathematician of exceptional ability and as a student of great originality.
During the following year at Johns Hopkins Professor Newson decided to devote his life to science and give his entire energies to scholarly pursuits. Te taught two years in the south and then in the fall of 1886 was able to carry out a long-cherished plan of study in Germany. During that time his main study was mathematics.
Upon his return to the United States he taught a year in Illinois and in 1890 came to the University of Kansas. Professor Dunlap spoke of the gratification to his friends that in addition to his unassuming performance of his ordinary duties Professor Newsor had been able to finish his book upon which he had jut much time and thought.
Professor Newson possessed a very retentive memory so that with a knowledge of English literature that was surprisingly broad, he freely quoted poetry of which he was very fond. This taste was realized only by his intimate friends, as anything like a mere display of knowledge was very distasteful to him.
Dean F. O. Marvin spoke of Professor Newson as a seeker for scientific truth in all the ways by which it could be found. As a teacher he was more than a drillmaster, though he did not neglect drill where it was needed. He was so stimulating and enthusiastic as an instructor that his students were interested and eager to follow his direction to ward individuality and training for research.
In speaking of Professor Newson's discoveries in mathematical territory, Dean Marvin said that his work has won recognition and praise both in America and foreign countries. The spirit of sacrifice in investigation which actuated Professor Newson caused him to achieve results and in turn to honor the society of Sigma Xi, which honors those who have a dominant spirit of investigation and search for truth.
Prof. Harshbarger of the mathematics department at Washburn, spoke of his friendship with Professor Newton gained especially through the meetings of the Kansas Academy of Science He
told of the papers read at these gatherings by Professor Newson which showed him as an original thinker. His influence for the better teaching of mathematics in the Colleges and high schools of the state would also remain as a monument to his name. This result was accomplished by Professor Newson through the Kansas Association of Mathematical Teachers, which he organized and made successful.
In speaking of a certain technical article by Professor Newson, Professor Harshbarger said that he considered it the best specimen of original work which had been done in the Middle West. He also paid a tribute to the unselfish industry of Professor Newson who was willing to build himself into the life of the state instead of looking merely for financial advancement.

"I consider football to be on a mighty unstable foundation if this school just now, and the student body and other supporters of the game ought to wake up to the fact and create a little disturbance in this immediate locality if they want to retain the game," said Coach A. R. Kennedy to a Kansan reporter today. "Arthur St. Leger Mosse voiced my sentiments exactly,' continued the coach, "in a letter I received from him the other day, in which he says:
"I suppose all you Lawrence sports are sitting around taking gas, while the Regents pin foot ball to the mat with a toe-hold."
"Of course St. Leger writes in his usual joeyal tone, but he means it, nevertheless, and he's right Football enthusiasts seem to think this abolition business is a joke, and they simply smile; but while they are smiling, the opponents of the game are industriously throwing mud, which is going to prove ruinous.
"As you know, Rugby is the game which is about to be foisted upon us. Now I don't think that game will ever fill the niche now occupied by football, because it isn't an essentially inter-collegiate game; it's merely a form of exercise.
"If Rugby were adopted here all University athleties would go to smash for the want of funds. For years, not one of the other college games has stood upon it own feet financially, at the University; they all depend, for their existence, upon the fat gate receipts of the football games. Now do you think the English game would roll the golden simoleons into the athletic coffers as foot ball does?
`The chief objection raised`
against the present game is not the danger to the player, but rather, that football training is abnormal, producing much the same effects, in after years, upon the players, as does prize fighting. Now, any professional trainer will swear, with his hand on a 3-foot stack of towels that a monstrous heart, such as is developed by the continual running in the Rugby game, is ten times more dangerous to an ex-player than all the sprains and bruises which a man can possibly receive in football. That is what they say and I'm willing to accept a trainer's word in the matter."

WAS THE FIRST OF THE SEASON
A KEG PARTY ON THE GOLF LINKS FRIDAY NIGHT.
And Another on Porch of Row land's Store—Relics of Campus Party Advertised.
"These eups were left on the golf links by THE KEG PARTY Friday night. The owners may have them if they will take them down."
These were the words on a sign which, appearing high up on the south bulletin board of Fraser hall this morning, gave publicity to an open-air drinking party which was held on the campus Friday night. Suspended from the sign were two bright new tin cups.
An early golfing party Saturday morning saw evidences that there had been the night before a revel of the sort that made Milwaukee wealthy. The two tin cups were among the trophier gathered up by the players.
The debris which they found scattered over the ground south of McCook field did not come as a surprise to some of the golfers. Several members of the party who live near McCook field had listened the night before for several hours to sounds of unwonted hilarity out on the campus. The sounds began about the time when good students are supposed to be putting in their last licks on the lesson in Chemistry II for the next day. Just before midnight a burst of melody that would have put the senior law choral society to the blush was wafted across the street car tracks through the windows of dwellers near the campus. The melody kept coming for a couple of hours.
One man who lives near the campus took a look at the field the next morning through a glass He saw through the haze that filled the valley a group of men busily engaged in gathering up what appeared to be bottles. A little later he strolled over to have a look at the scene, and there saw enough to convince him that the commotion of the night before had not been with out ample cause.
Not bottle remained, it is true; but in the soft sod of the green was a circular depression which showed beyond doubt that a keg had nestled there. All about the circle the sod had been trodden by many feet. Semingly the keg had had some sort of fascination for the revelers. And one side of the circular depression where the keg had stood was much deeper than the other, showing that it had been tilted up as the bystanders coaxed it to yield up the last drop of its contents.
The ground nearby was strewn with bits of crackers and cheese which apparently had comprised the more solid elements of the feast. There was evidence also, that the stomachs of some of the feasters had revolted against even this light repast.
The two tin cups were objects of considerable interest to the students in the main hall today. Up to a late hour this afternoon there were no claimants.
D. L. Rowlands was fighting mad Saturday morning when he found the porch floor of his book store littered with corks, labels, metal caps, and other evidences that the place had been the scene of a drinking party the night before. Mr. Rowlands intends to prosecute the offenders if he can find them. He said this morning that he had a pretty definite idea of who some of the unwelcome visitors were.

At a meeting of the Pan-Hellenic council, held yesterday afternoon at the Phi Delta Theta house, a committee was appointed to draw up a statement regarding the condition of the fraternities of the University and their attitude toward the adoption of the proposed rule. This action was taken after a long discussion of the probable effects of adopting Chancellor Strong's recommendations.
Chancellor Strong's letter will not come up before the fraternity the officially before next Tuesday night, when meetings will be held following the Easter recess.
From statements that have been made by various fraternity men since Tuesday it is evident that the fraternities do not like the idea of a sophomore pledge requirement.
The main objection which fraternity men have made to the plan lies in the fact that if it is adopted they will be unable to fill their houses next year. There are one or two fraternities in good shape to meet the new requirement, but it is believed that all the others will be more or less embarrassed.
One recommendation that the letter contains will not be complied with. Probably not one or organization will adopt the new rule "without waiting for any other fraternity," as Chancellor Strong urges. Uniform action of all the fraternities will probably be secured through the Pan-Hellenic.
Many fraternity men believe that when the regents are informed of the conditions the fraternities will have to face under the new rule, some less drastic action will be substituted for that outlined in the letter.
The Board of Regents held a conference with a committee of fraternity men last fall and discussed the situation. The agreement reached at that time, the fraternity men say, was that if the scholarship standing of the fraternity men was equal to that of non-fraternity men at the end of the first term, no restrictions would be laid upon the fraternities. The fraternity men also say that the letters received Saturday came as a complete surprise to them. They say that they gathered from what was said at the conference with the Regents last fall that no action would be asked of them for at least a year.
The letter which came as such a disagreeable surprise to the fraternities on Tuesday afternoon's mail was sent to every social
Greek letter organization on the hill. It is as follows;
NUMBER 71
After long consideration on the question of adjustment in our fraternity methods, I believe that all of our fraternities (both for men and women) should pass a rule and strictly abide by its letter and spirit, forbidding the pledging either formally or informally of any person until he shall have been a student in the University for one year with his record for entrance and for the first year entirely clear in scholarship, or of any other person whose scholarship record is not entirely clear as shown by the books of the Registrar. I therefore urge you to take such action, without waiting for any other fraternity, on or before April 10, 1910, and to apprise me immediately when such action is taken. I am advising this on the highest consideration of fraternity welfare and as a believer in the future influence of fraternities on the whole scholarly, moral and social life of our universities, if they shall respond in season to their responsibilities and duties.
FRANK STRONG, Chancellor."
WILL GO TO CHICAGO.
If the present plans of Manager Lansdon are carried out Kansas will be represented in the Western College conference meet to be held in Chicago, June 1.
Five Kansans to Enter the Meet There.
The meet is an annual event in which all the large colleges of the west are represented and is the largest affair of its kind held in the West.
Four of the men who are to make the trip have been chosen. They are Haddock and Roberts, who will run in the dashes, and French and Jim Smith, who will enter the high jump. The fifth man has not yet been named.
This will be the first year that the University has ever been entered in a meet of this size. Last year it was impossible to enter because this meet came on the same day that the Missouri conference meet was scheduled.
"I will send men who have either equaled or broken the Chicago records in the events in which they will participate," said Manager Lansdon this morning," and I believe we will have a good chance to capture some of the honors."
A. L. Rohrer, electrical superin tendent of the General Electrica works at Schenectady, N. Y., addressed the members of the junior and senior electrical engineering classes this morning in Snow hall. Mr. Rohrer is making a tour of western colleges, looking for graduates who are willing to enter the General Electric works in New York.
Spoke to Electricals.

PRACTICE WORK NEXT WEEK
FOOTBALL MEN CALLED FOR TUESDAY.
Spring Practice Will Be Under Supervision of Pleasant and Johnson.
On next Tuesday afternoon the first spring football practice of the season will be held on MeCook field. A call has been issued for all men who have played on either the freshmen or 'Varsity squad and also those who have not yet played at the University to present themselves at that time.
Captain Pleasant and Captain- elect Johnson, who will direct spring football practice.
The work-outs are to be under the supervision of Captain Pleas ant, assisted by Captain-elect
MARY MAY
Johnson, and Coaches Kennedy and Mosse will aid in the work to some extent.
"Every man who wants to try for football next fall will be given a thorough work-out," said Captain Pleasant this morning "and if he shows up well will be given another opportunity next fall to make good. The old meet will also have a chance to get in good condition.
"However, the most important part of the practice work this spring will probably be the becoming familiar with the modified style of play. It will be necessary for us to learn a good many things about the modified game, even if there are no radical changes made in the present rules."
"We will study both the modified and Rugby styles," said Captain-elect Johnson today, "and at the same time will get a line on good material for next fall. The game under modified rules is being worked out at Missouri and they believe it is a good thing to study over there."
While Kennedy and Mosse will be unable to take an active part in the workouts next week, both will be on hand at different times during the week and from that time on until spring practice work ends. In that way they will be able to keep in touch with the men and will be asked to offer suggestions for those who are trying out.
Prof. R. R. Price will speak to the students in the Douglas county high school tomorrow.
THE WEATHER.
Fair tonight and Friday; cooler tonight.
TENNIS COURTS FOR GIRLS
Petition Will Be Presented to Authorities.
A petition will be circulated among the women of the University for signatures next week, asking that the University establish a number of tennis courts on the campus for the use of University women. The petition will be submitted to the University authorities as soon as a thorough canvass of the women students has been made.
This was the action decided upon yesterday at the meeting of tennis enthusiasts in the chapel at noon. Miss Nellie Burnham was appointed chairman of the committee which will draw up and circulate the petition.
Another committee with Miss Bessie Rarig as chairman, was appointed to present plans for the organization of a tennis club and to draw up a suitable constitution.
An effort will also be made to find out what other colleges are doing in providing outdoor to secure the tennis court is sucsports for girls. If the movement cessful here it is planned to hold a tournament late in the spring if the courts can be completed in time.
SHIPPING LIQUID AIR.
University the Central Source of Cold Waves.
"The department of chemistry now has the record of furnishing liquid air from coast to coast," said Prof. H. P. Cady this morning. "We have shipped as far east as Pennsylvania and yesterday we sent a consignment of five flasks to Prof. Patty at Albuquerque, N. M." Prof. Patty is a professional lecturer on liquid air, radium, and the wireless telegraph, and his territory includes the Pacific coast. The University has always supplied him on his tours through the northern and central states.
A NEW CURATOR.
Leland Stanford Man to Entomological Museum.
At their meeting last week the Regents appointed F. X. Williams of Leland Stanford University to the position of assistant curator of the entomological museum. He will begin his work at the University about April 1. Mr. Williams is at present an inspector in the office of the state horticultural quarantine officer at San Francisco.
Chancellor Strong will leave tomorrow morning for Chicago, where he will attend the North General Association of secondary schools. Dean Olin Templin and Prof. W.H. Johnson left today to attend the same gathering.
Chancellor to Chicago.
MASS MEETNIG ON WEDNESDAY
PRESIDENT BAUMGARTNER SET DATE TODAY.
The Students Will Gather in Chapel to Express Views on Football Question.
On next Wednesday evening March 30, the students of the University will be given an opportunity to voice their sentiments with regard to the football question. At 7:30 on that evening a mass meeting of the student body in the Chapel has been called by Edward Baumgartner, president of the Student Council. Every student is urged by the Council to attend the meeting and to convey his or her idea of what legislation, if any, should be taken against the great college game as played at this time.
For some time the movement threatening action against the game has been growing in strength and circumstances have begun to indicate that the rules governing the playing of the game may be radically changed or the Rugby style adopted within a short time.
Up until this time the student body of the University had been given no opportunity to voice its sentiments as a whole and in order that it might do so a petition asking the Student Council to call a mass meeting of the students for the consideration of the question was circulated. This petition was presented to the secretary of the governing body last Saturday and considered at the regular meeting Tuesday night. The result was that, by a unanimous vote, the calling of the meeting of students was ordered. This morning President Baumgartner set the time for next Wednesday.
The meeting will be called for students of the University of Kansas and of every one who attends will have an opportunity to say what he thinks about the football situation. After as many who wish to do so have expressed themselves an effort will be made to pass a resolution correctly expressing the sentiment of the student body. This resolution will be formally presented to the Board of Regents by the Student Council.
Quill Club Met.
At the regular Quill program Tuesday afternoon sketches were read by Miss Gertrude Blackmar, Miss Anna McKay, and Henry Draper. The program next week will be numbers relating in some way to Easter.
No Issue Saturday.
There will be no issue of The Kansan Saturday, as a large percent of the student body will leave town during the Easter recess. The next issue of The Kansan will be Tuesday, March 29.
George O. Foster, registrar of the University, went to Topeka this morning on business connected with the new University catalogue.

NEW PLEDGING SYSTEM
The fraternities of the University of Kansas have a large job out for them in meeting the requirements that have been asked by the Chancellor in his letter of last Tuesday. The old system has been in vogue here ever since there were fraternities, and of course, like every system of long standing, it will be hard to alter. Fraternity men generally seem somewhat taken aback by the magnitude of the change they will have to work out.
It is to be hoped that when the time actually comes to put the new system into effect it will be found not so hard of accomplishment as is now anticipated, and that it will be attended by fewer inconveniences than fraternity members now fear.
That it will work out in ultimate good to the University is an opinion that has long been held by many of the most competent observers of the conditions here That consideration is the one which has actuated the Regents and that result, if attained, will be all the justification the change needs.
Good is expected to come to the University in two ways under the new system: the standard of scholarship, which is of vital interest to a university, will be raised; and a condition which has been a source of criticism of the University throughout the state will be remedied.
When these two results have been brought about, the University will have taken a long step forward.
the students of the University are to have a chance to express their views on football at a meeting called by the student council That resolutions will there be adopted asking that football be retained as one of the branches of sport in the University of Kansas is apparent to anyone who has taken the trouble to sound student sentiment. As students are more closely interested in the game than anyone else, it is entirely proper that their views be communicated to the Board of Regents which is considering legislation that will affect the game. Now it is up to the students. Every man in the University should come to the mass meeting in order to make the sentiment expressed at that assembly representative of the student body as a whole.
TEACHING THE TRUTH.
"Investigation has disclosed nothing that would warrant the charge that Anarchistic, Socialist, or other dangerous doctrines are being taught in the University," says the Board of Visitors of the University of Wisconsin, in a report just made to the Board of Regents. That the fact should be as thus reported is, to our mind, entirely satisfactory in itself but the censorship implied in the investigation is a matter that suggests serious questions, says the New York Evening Post. Unloudly, the teaching at a state university, or at any university should be sober and responsible and should not include the spreading of any revolutionary propaganda; but if the Board of Visitors is going to watch out for "socialistic" doctrines, and blackist professors whose teaching is favorable to their spread, there will be a kind of restraint on honest and independent thought in the social and political sciences which will go far to undermine the character of the entire body of teaching in this domain. The range of doctrine that may be called socialistic is extremely wide, and reaches from government ownership of railroads all the way to communism. The best way to treat the question opened up by this state of things is to appoint only men of conscience and ability to the professorships in economics and political science and then let them tell the truth as they see it, without fear of personal consequences. Then, if the judgment of a given professor is against Socialism, or any particular kind of degree of Socialism that judgment will have weight and influence; but if the judgment is part of the price he must pay for the privilege of holding his chair, how can it command public respect?
WILL SPEAK AT GRINNELL
Prof. J. E. Boodin Will Make an Easter Vesper Talk.
Professor J. E. Boodin will attend the meeting of the Western Philosophical association at owa City next Friday and Saturday, March 25 and 26, and will deliver an address before that association on "The Nature of Truth." On Easter Sunday he will speak at the Easter vesper service of Grinnel College. Professor Boodin formerly-taught in Grinnell College and holds its beautiful Gothic chapel and permanent vesper organization as the ideal toward which the University of Kansas should work.
Any Christian young man in Idaho or North Dakota may now obtain a college education free by agreeing to never so long as he lives to touch intoxicating liquor tobacco in any form, or "other narcotics." This premium on abstemious living is provided by the will of Charles Botsford, a Boston merchant, which was filed for probate yesterday. Mr. Botsford left more than $100,000, and after making several minor charitable bequests the will orders that the residue of the estate shall go to educate the youth of Idaho and North Dakota who will sign the pledge stipulated. Botsford spent a part of his life in the northwest
An Education Free.
The students and alumni of Jackson county will hold a banquet at Olathe Saturday, March 26. Registrar George O. Foster will speak.
WILL SELECT MATERIAL.
For the New Administration Building.
A committee, consisting of Chancellor Strong and Regents Hopkins and Gleed, was appointed at the meeting of the Board of Regents last week to investigate the matter of material for the construction of the new administration building.
The new building is to have a smoothly dressed surface, and for that reason it is believed that the native stone which is quarried on the site of the new structure and in the vicinity will be unsuitable. The native stone dakes and cracks too easily when the surface is dressed.
The committee will investigate the posibilities of other building stone. It is believed that stone which will fill the requirements can be quarried near Lecompton. In case no suitable stone can be found at small expense, pressed brick may be used.
SPOKE TO Y. W. C. A.
Student Volunteer Representative Sketched World Problems.
At the regular Y. W. C. A. meeting yesterday afternoon, Mr. J. L. Murray, national educational secretary of the Student Volunteer Association. talked about "Students Interest in the World Problem." "We should be especially interested in world affairs now," declared Mr. Murray, "because this is a strategic movement which is presenting world problems."
The situation in Korea, China, Japan, India, and Turkey was sketched by Mr. Murray to show how the countries of the far East were in a time of unrest and change. Miss Helen Janes sang a solo.

ON "GOOD GOVERNMENT."
A. C. Mitchell Spoke to Good Government Club.
Hon. A. C. Mitchell, '80, of Lawrence, was the speaker at the meeting of the Good Government club last night.

He talked about the conservation of natural resources, the idea of the "square deal" in politics, and the ideas underlying representative government. Mr. Mitchell is an "insurgent" Republican and in answer to a request by a member of the club, he outlined the aims of the "insurgent" movement.
Mr. Mitchell is a candidate for the Republican nomination for congress in the Second district, against Congressman Charles F Scott, '81.
MAKING JEWELRY.
Manual Arts Class Has New Silver Handicraft.
Work in silver is a new feature of the girls' class in manual arts. The students hammer and etch silver pins, hatpins, cuff-links, and other pieces of jewelry. The work is entirely new in the University, as heretofore they have worked only wood and brass.
The silver comes in sheets and is sold to the students for sixteen cents per square inch.
Conducted Settlement Work.
Miss Cornelia Hardeastle and Miss Ethel McNitt of the School of Fine Arts, conducted the work this afternoon at the settlement house, at 1022 New York street Last Tuesday at the first meeting there were seventeen children present.

IN OTHER COLLEGES.
The history department of the University of Washington has received from a friend in Seattle, a collection of seven old newspapers ranging in date of publication from Feb. 17, 1791 to Feb. 6, 1817. One, the "Ulster County Gazette," dated January 4, 1800, is devoted almost entirely to expressions of condolence and regret by leading men of the day on account of the death of George Washington.
The Michigan Daily is waging a campaign for further sanitary drinking fountains before the warm weather begins. Since the health-menacing cups were abolished some time ago, there are only two buildings in the Michigan campus where students can get a drink of water.
The Aero club of the University of Pennsylvania has sent a letter to the various aero clubs in other universities asking them to join in an inter-collegiate aeronautic convention to be held in Philadelphia, April 1 and 2, to effect a permanent organization.
The University of Washington Daily is to have one column each week devoted especially to the interests of women of the University by reporting the doings of their sisters in other colleges.
A class glee club is the latest organization to break out at Michigan. The sophomores have been the first to get together on the proposition.

Professor Duncan to Rochester
Prof. Robert Kennedy Duncan of the department of industrial chemistry left Saturday for Rochester, N. Y., following the receipt of a telegram from two of the industrial fellows, Archie Weith and Frank Brock. Weith and Brock are the holders of the enamel fellowship granted by a Rochester firm. They went there a short time ago to try out in the factory of the donor of the fellowship the discoveries they had made working on a small scale at the University. It is thought that their sending for Professor Duncan means that an important discovery has been made in the work in enamels.

FAVORS THE OLD FOOTBALL
CHANCELLOR PREFERS IT TO RUGBY.
Says the American Game Is Doomed in Missouri Valley—Reforms Don't Reform.
"I am satisfied that football in its present form will not be 'retained at the University,'" was the opinion Chancellor Strong expressed to a Kansan reporter this morning.
"The opposition to the game on the part of the Regents is too strong to be overcome by the imagined 'reforms' which the National Rules committee annually make. And, too, the opposition sentiment seems to be just as much alive in the other schools of the Missouri valley as it is here. So, it will be a matter of great surprise to me if the American game is ever again played by the Missouri Valley conference teams.
"Personally I am opposed to the sport as we have been playing it—the training is too strenuous, and too small a percentage of the men of the University can participate—but the University must have football of some sort to replace the old game. I am willing that Rugby should be tried, although I know very little about that style of play, but I would much prefer a suitable revision of our own football. If the rules committee does not make the necessary changes—and I have no idea that they will—then why not draw up a Missouri Valley code? I suppose this would be next to impossible, but it might be tried, anyway.
"As to revision, I adopt the stand that Coach Kennedy has taken. He says that this business of trying to graft the open Rugby plays to our game, which is essentially a closed one, is foolishness and can't be done; but this is exactly what the national committee has been trying to do for years and for this reason they have had no success, and never will have. I believe, with Kennedy, that a return to the old style game would be a good thing and I would rather have than done than to adopt Rugby."
Concert Next Thursday
The University orchestra will give a concert in Fraser hall Thursday, a week from tonight. Several original compositions by Dean C. S. Skilton will be played at that time for the first time.

MISS MOSSLER HONORED.
Superintendent Over Columbia Teachers.
The duties of the office to which Miss Mossler has been elected will include the conducting of alumni meetings of the school and the delivering of lectures. She will also superintend the teachers in all educational institutions throughout the United States, who are graduates of the Columbia school. The latter work will include the outlining of courses of study for those teachers and planning much of their work for them.
Miss Gertrude Mossler, head of the department of expression on the University, this morning received official notification of her election to the position of superintendent of expression over all institutions in which graduates of the Columbia School of Expression, of Chicago, are teaching. Miss Mossler was elected by the alumni association of the Columbia school, of which she is a graduate. She will have for Chicago the middle part of June to attend the annual meeting of the Columbia Alumni Assosciation which will be held on the 26th and 27th of that month. At that time she will assume her new position
The new office, however, will not mean that Miss Mossler will leave the University. On the other hand she will continue at the head of the department of expression and simply add her new duties to the work she is already doing.
"Figgers" Won't Blow Up.
A professor in chemistry was commiserating the professor of mathematics on the fewness of his students, and the latter, resenting the implication that popularity was a proof of good teaching, replied: "The trouble with mathematics is that nothing ever hapens. If, when an equation is solved, it would blow up or give off a bad odor, I would get a many students as you."
A burglar recently entered the Chi Omega house at the University of Colorado, in broad day light while most of the girls were at the University. He searched the house and secured about $77 with remarkable speed, escaping without leaving any clue to his identity.

BIG FISH FROM KANSAS SEA
A PREHISTORIC SHARK MOUNTED AT MUSEUM.
Skeleton of Deep Sea Monster Fifty Feet Long Placed on Exhibition.
One of the most striking specimens of a fossil fish ever discovered has just been placed on exhibition in the west corridor on the top floor of the Natural History museum. It is a portion of a huge shark, comprising forty-five finely preserved vertebrae, which form a wall mount in a slab form, forty feet square.
The largest vertebra measures about four inches in diameter,and is comparison, several vertebrae of a recent shark, which are only about three-fourths inches in diameter, have been placed in the same case.
The measurements give some idea of the gigantic monster. Calculations show that the animal must have measured about fifty feet from tip to tip. The mouth probably attained a stretch of three to four feet, and it is easy to imagine what a wholesale slaughter such a denizen of the deep would wage among his lesser bretheren.
A small separate mount of two vertebrae has also been made—one to show the flat face of the vertebrae, the other cut in sections to showthe bony walls at the center of the double conceave or amphioleus vertebrae. On a separate mount of glass inside the wall case are shown a number of small, smooth, well-worn pebbles, over seven-hundred of them, which were intermingled with the vertebrae. These, known technically as "gastroliths," were probably once a part of the food-masticatory apparatus of a long-necked plesiosam that inhabited the waters in the Cretaceous age at the same time as the shark.
The specimen was found last summer in western Kansas by H. T. Martin, assistant curator of the museum, on the ranch of Mr. Neuenschwander, in Trego county. Many tons of rock had to be removed in order to secure the specimen. It represents the largest shark ever secured from the chalk beds of western Kansas.

The University senate at Michigan recently got busy and refused to allow the organization known as the Michigan Union to put on a minstrel show this spring. When the union gave an opera last fall it promised to give no other public entertainment this year, but because of its financial needs had asked permission to give the minstrel performance.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME VI.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 29, 1910
WILL CONFER ON NEW RULE
Many and Various Are Objects to Sophomore Pledging. Requirements.
Chancellor Strong will meet the members of the Pan-Hellenic council at the University Thursday afternoon, to confer with them regarding the sophomore pledging rule. The fraternity representatives will go to the meeting to get a somewhat better idea of what will be expected of them under the new rule, and they will be prepared to present to the Chancellor their objections to the rule.
CHANCELLOR WILL MEET THE PAN-HELLENIC.
As the days pass it becomes more and more evident that the fraternities will put up a fight against adopting the new rule. Fraternity men don't like it and most of them are free to say so.
"Possibly there are a half dozen fraternity men in the University who will say that the reconditions made in the recent letter from Chancellor Strong should be adopted at once without change," said one fraternity man today "but I doubt if a poll of the fraternities would show more than that."
Some fraternity men believe that a modification of the rule would be all right. There is a strong faction which will try to get the Regents to accept a rule allowing pledging of freshmen as at present, but prohibiting the initiation of members until they have spent a year at the University in good standing. The men who favor this plan say they believe sub-rosa pledging will go on in spite of all rules, if the recommendations of the Chancellor are adopted. They would avoid the breaking of rules by allowing freshman pledging.
The reasons for the fraternity men's opposition to the Chancel lor's plan are many and varied.
"It isn't fair to throw the burden of raising the scholarship of the freshman class on the fraternities," said one fraternity man today.
"The fraternities are not organized for scholarship, but for a different purpose," said another. "The first thing we know we'll be making Phi Beta Kappa an entirely useless organization if membership to our societies becomes a matter of scholarship."
The members of the sororities are also opposed to the rule. They advance all the objections that are advanced by the fraternity men, and another one.
"It isn't right to put us in the same class that the men occupy," said a sorority member this morning. "Our scholarship is away above the average of scholarship among the girls of the University as a whole, while the standing
of fraternity men in their classe is away below the average standing of University men."
Chancellor Strong has not given out an interview regarding the letter recently sent to the fraternities. "As far as I am concerned," he said to a reporter the other day, "the letter is a confidential matter between the University and the fraternities. I have decided not to make anything public in this matter from my office. The fraternities are at liberty to make public as much of what passes between us as they wish to. The rest will be kept confidential."
Changed the Date.
The date for the Colorado debate has been changed from Friday, April 8, to Thursday evening, April 7. The team, composed of Foster Kline, George Probst and E. L. Overman, will leave Tuesday evening, April 5. for Boulder, Colo. At Denver H. H. Tangeman, a University graduate, will join the men and accompany them to Boulder.

A DEAN CHOSEN FOR NEWSCHOOL
C. H. JOHNSTON TO HEAD SCHOOL OF EDUCATION.
Is Now a Member of University of Michigan Faculty—Has Done Much Research Work.
Dr. Charles Hughes Johnston of the University of Michigan will be head of the new School of Education of the University of Kansas, which was established by the Board of Regents last summer. Dr. Johnson last week accepted the offer, tendering him the position as Dean of the school.
Professor Johnston has been a member of the department of education at the University of Michigan for a number of years. His work for the doctor's degree was done at Harvard University, under Professors James, Palmer, and others. He is regarded as one of the most promising of the younger men of the country. Only recently he was made full professor at the University of Michigan, so anxious were the authorities to induce him to stay there.
Ever since the School of Education was established by the Regents of the University of Kansas nearly a year ago, the University authorities have been looking the field over to find a man for dean of the new school who would be fitted for the special needs of the position. They feel that Dr. Johnston's qualifications for the area are of the best, as he is one of the leaders of the new type of educational thought and has done a great deal of research work in the study of education.
Dr. Johnston has written a number of articles that have been published in the best educational and psychological journals of the country. Titles of some of the articles are as follows: "Tendencies in College Departments of Education," "The Social Significance of Various Movements for Industrial Education;" "The Systematic Training of Feeling as an Educational Issue;" "The Present State of the Psychology Feeling;" "The Combination of of Feelings;" "Ribot's Theory of the Passions,' 'and 'The Rose of Sensations and Feelings Under Ether.'
Dr. Johnston visited the University of Kansas March 12, when the conference of accredited high schools of the University was held. He conducted the Saturday morning symposium on "Problems of Administration."
Professor Tonks to Lecture.
Prof. Tonks of Princeton University will give an illustrated lecture on "The Growth of Naturalism in Italian Painting," in University hall, next Tuesday afternoon. April 5, at 4:30.

WE DO NOT WANT FOOTBALL ABOLISHED.
"I do not want football abolished."
These are the words used by Chancellor Strong in a communication printed in The Kansan today.
"We do not want football abolished," the committee on rules has said in effect, by spending many weary days in deciding what the game shall be next year,—eliminating features which have been shown to be dangerous adding others that will make the game safer, trying in every way possible to meet the critics of the game and to save to the college of the country the great American college sport.
"We do not want football abolished," will doubtless be the sentiment of the mass meeting of students which will be held in the chapel tomorrow evening In order that the sentiment may be expressed in no uncertain way it is the duty of every student in the University to be there when the president of the student council calls the meeting to order to morrow evening.
Come to the football mass meeting.
The regeneration of T. N. E from a band of naughty boys into something sweet and pure is now complete. The Kansan has the evidence to prove the statement just made. A week ago there appeared in The Kansan a little story about a drinking party which had been held on McCook field. The edition was not half off the press before a former member of the twice-defunct T. N. E. came rushing into the office, to protest against the publication of facts which would "hurt the University." Various other members of the late organization came in to express ideas of the same sort. This shows that T. N. E. has changed. If the mere publication of stories about drinking parties rouses such pain in the former members, it is only fair to suppose that the parties themselves can only be thought of with horror and loathing.
Now that the Easter recess is over, it may be confidently said that the backbone of the term is broken. Unfortunately, the same thing can not be said of the term's work. The students who are saving up a number of little
odds and ends of work for sometime nearer the end of the term are, as always, in a large majority.
"The expression, 'Beware theides of March,' is likely to be supplanted as a classic in the University of Kansas by 'Beware the tenth of April,'" said a freaternity man the other day. "What is the explanation of the fascination which that date April 10, has for the University authorities, anyway?"
PROPOSES THE SOLUTION.
George Ade Talks of Revising Football.
The heated discussion relative to a proposed revision "downward" of the present football rules has provoked George Adc to the following solution of the problem:
"Selection of Players: The eleven players constituting the team shall be selected by the faculty, and the student who has received highest grade in Greek anthology shall be captain of the team. No student shall be eligible for the team unless he is up in his class work and has an established reputation for piety.
"Preliminaries: When a team appears on a field for a contest it shall greet the opposing team with the Chautanqua salute, which consists of waving his handkerchief. After this, a few friendly chats concerning books and writers may precede the opening of the game.
"Substitute for the toss: Instead of tossing a coin to determine which side gets the ball, the two captains shall be called upon to extract the cube root of a number, provided by the profess or of mathematics. The captain who is the first to band in the correct solution gets the ball."
"Advancing the Ball: The ball having been placed in the center of the field, the umpire, who must be a professor of geology, exhibits to the team having possession of the ball a fossil. All members of the team who think that they can name the geological period to which the fossil belongs hold up their right hand. The umpire selects a player to name the period. If he answers correctly he advances the ball two yards. If in addition, he gives the scientific name of the fossil, he advance the ball five yards. If no member of the team can answer the question propounded by the umpire the opposing team shall be given a trial. If successful, it is given the ball."
"Rotation of umpires: After each touchdown there shall be a change of umpires, so that the questions asked of a team may in the course of a long and exciting game, cover the class work in zoology, applied metaphysics veterinary science, Sanskrit, and other useful studies.
"Offside Plays: Any player who makes a grammatical error, mispronounces a word or seeks assistance from a fellow student shall be deemed guilty of an offside play, and his side shall be penalized at least five yards.
"Substitute for Kicking Goal After a touchdown has been made the team making it shall be credited with five points, and the captain of the team shall translate 500 words of Caesar's Commentaries. If he does so without an error, his team is given an additional point, the same as if a goal were kicked. If he fails, the ball goes to the opposing team on the twenty-five yard line."
300 Guests Expected at Third Annual Banquet.
K. C. ALUMNI DINNER.
The third annual dinner of the graduates and former students of the University of Kansas, in Kansas City, will be held Saturday, April 9, at the University club Eleventh street and Baltimore avenue. It is expected to be the most important event of the kind to be held in the West this year. Besides the Kansas City alumni and former students of the University of Kansas, many men from nearby Kansas towns will attend. It is expected that more than three hundred persons will be present.
The date for holding the dinner was selected at a meeting of several of the Kansas City alumni at the University club. The meeting was presided over by Justin D. Bowersock, '91, president of the Kansas City Alumni Association, who appointed a committee to make arrangements for the afair. Those appointed are Dr. H. A. Poorman, '01; J. C. Nichols '02; W. T. Grant, Henry Schott; E. C. Meservey, '82; Leslie Lyons, '00; James Edson, '01; A. T. Beach, '05; Gomer Thomas, '97; Frank House, '96; Walter Sutton, '04; Thornton Cooke, '93; F. G. Crowell, '87; Denton Dunn, '87; and Justin D. Bowersock, '91.
The University orchestra will give its annual spring concert in the chapel on Thursday evening March 31. Besides the regular musical numbers, the program will include vocal solos by Professor Hubach. The hour for the concert has been set at 8:15.

FRESHMEN CAPS TO RETURN
Friday, April 1, is the date set for the re-appearance of the proverial freshman cap. Last winter the student council decreed that the first year men be allowed to stow away the diminutive head gear during the chily months and adopt caps which were provided with ear muffs, if they so desired in order that their organs of hearing might be protected from Jack Frost.
At the time the ruling was made it was further decreed that when the balmy zephyrs of spring should blow gently over Mt. Oread the freshmen should institute a search for the discarded caps and bedeck themselves with the half-dollar size "Merry Widow" once more. The date for the return of those balmy zephyrs was set for April fools' day. At last spring is here and April fool is fast approaching. These circumstances bring forth the question "Have the freshman forgotten?"
April 1, the Date Set by Student Council.
Held County Banquet.
The Johnson County club of the University entertained the seniors of the high schools of Johnson county at a banquet in Olathe Saturday night. Registrar George O. Foster was the principal speaker, and acted as toastmaster for the occasion. Many University of Kansas alumni were there.

Took Sixty-Five Mile Walk.
Last Friday Louis Reeves, a junior law, and J. R. Elliot, a freshman in the College, set out on a hike that took them sixty-five miles. The two students walked from Lawrence to Leavenworth on Friday, arriving at the latter place in the afternoon. The next morning they set out for Kansas City, arriving there a day later than they had arrived in Leavenworth. The trip back to Lawrence was made by train, however, they being satisfied with the sixty-five mile record.

A TRIBUTE IN HAMPTON'S
MAGAZINE REVIEWS CHANCELLOR STRONG'S WORK.
A
Tells How His Plans Have Uni fied State Education and B ettered the High Schools.
Hampton's Magazine for April, in its department entitled "Personalities," have a page article about Chancellor Frank Strong and the University of Kansas. The article is accompanied by the Chancellor's portrait. Previous articles in Hampton's have called attention to the work of the Universities of Wisconsin and Minnesota, and in the current issue a tribute to Chancellor Strong for securing similar good results in Kansas. The article follows:
In all the wetter of sometimes silly schemes of modern education a really big practical idea has been developed, within the last ten years, throughout the Middle West. It is that of connecting up the high schools of a state with the state university. This perfectly simple plan has accomplished two things: it has bettered the curriculum of the high schools, and it has increased the attendance and interest at the state university. Incidentally also, it has raised the standard of school athletics and successfully done away with professionalism In Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas Iowa, Arkansas and Texas great strides have been made.
A
Already in these pages attention has been called to the excellent work of Wisconsin and Minnesota. This is to be a word about what has been done for Kansas by the man at "K. U."—as the state university up on the hill at Lawrence, Kansas, is familiarly called. His name is Frank Strong. Two good names, these, and put together they really give you a picture of the tall, broad-shouldered, clear-eyed man who came out of Yale in '84 to tackle the educational problems of the Middle West. He was born in central New York, but he wanted to get out into the open land of hard work. First he was superintendent of the schools in Lincoln, Nebraska; then president of the University of Oregon. He has been chancellor of "K. U." since 1902. He is a born organizer. He rearranged the school system of Lincoln, established one of the first kindergartens in the West and remodeled the curriculum of Oregon's university upon the lines it follows today.
No people is more eager for an education than the people of the Middle West; the states keep the cost of a college education down to the matriculation fee; board and room can be bad for as low as two dollars and a half a week. If you cannot pay for your books, frequently the state will buy them for you. As a result, from all over the world students come to these colleges, passing by the larger and better known institutions of the East. Japanese, Egyptians, Porto Ricans, Filipinos attend in considerable numbers.
But it is the home education for which the state is most anxious; it is its own men and women, boys and girls, of whose education these states are most jealous. As Dr. Strong said, when he first took up the chancellorship of "K. U.": "The University is for the people." Then he began with his system of high school visitation, bringing the entire school system in close touch with the University, increasing materially the efficiency of secondary education.
To bring the university close to the people it has been made useful to every community through university extension lectures, correspondence courses, food and drug inspection, water analysis for municipalities, addresses on municipal problems and direct effort in helping the farmers through systematic warfare on grain pests that threaten crops in the wheat belt. The university's "green-bug" and "ebinch-bug" campaigns have saved the farmers millions of dollars.
The industrial chemistry department has reached out into the manufacturing field and already has established eleven scholarships dealing with problems of moment. Courses in banking, business, journalism, have attracted students seeking special training, while the courses of the College of Liberal Arts have been made more elastic.
This broad conception of the University's work, backed by Dr. Strong's associates and the Board of Regents, has borne fruit in an increase of attendance from 1,223 in 1902, to 2,250 in 1909. It is recognized as a people's school and its activities are reaching into every section of the state.
Kansas folks have about given up the idea that they haven't time to get a college education, and every youngster in the short grats country looks today with longing at Frank Strong's school and the time when he'll be able to yell the most wonderful college yell ever invented;

TO ORGANIZE CITY LEAGUE
OFFICIALS OF KANSAS TOWNS TO MEET.
Prof. F. G. Bates Sending Out Invitations for a Session at Wichita May 18 and 19.
Prof. Frank G. Bates, assistant professor of political science, will tomorrow mail to the mayors of second and third class cities of Kansas a letter of invitation to a meeting to be held at Wichita on May 18 and 19 to consider the organization of a league of Kansas cities. The letter is also on he authority of C. L. Davidson, William Green and F. L. Martin, who are mayors respectively of Wichita, Topeka and Hutchinson with whom Professor Bates has consulted.
The letter calls attention to the associations of city officers and others interested in neity government which have been formed in other states. At the meetings of such organizations questions of practical interest such as street paving, lighting, garbage disposas, municipal ownership and new legislation have bee neconsidered in formal papers followed by general discussion. No opportunity for interchange of ideas -exists among city officers of Kansas and it has been suggested that an organization to secure the benefits of such an interchange would be desirable in this state.
The invitation is extended to the councilmen and other city officers through the mayor to whom the letter is sent. Professor Bates has been acting as temporary secretary of the movement since he was in conference with the mayors mentioned a few weeks since
UPHOLDS THE WORK.
Eradication of San Jose Scale to Continue.
The district court in Sedgwiel county has recently sustained the authority of the state entomological commission in its work conducted under the direction of Prof. S. J. Hunter to eradicate the San Jose scale from the orchards of that county. The trouble arose from the action of a property owner living near Wichita who filed a petition for an injunction prohibiting the representatives of the state from entering his premises to inspect his orchards or spray his trees.
Judge Wilson not only denied the injunction, but also issued a restraining order prohibiting further interference with the work of the state. He stated that the purpose of the law was to prevent the spread of injurious insects and diseases among fruit trees and nursery stock and efforts to prevent such work were antagonistic to the welfare not only of Sedgwick county but of the country at large.

"NO CHANCE FOR THE OLD GAME"
PREJUDICE TOO GREAT.
SAYS CHANCELLOR.
Desires Permanent Solution of Football Problem That Will Do Away With Agitation.
To the Editor of the Kansan:
The statement in the last Kansan in regard to football, so far as my views are concerned, was not quite accurate. The Kansan reporter and I had a long conversation on the subject, covering almost every phase of the question, and in condensing the conversation the misunderstanding occurred. I do not favor the return to the old style football played before 1905, because I see no chance that we could get back to the old style game without so strong a prejudice on the part of those well qualified to speak as to endanger any kind of football whatever.
I was, however, much impressed with Coach Kennedy's statement that it is impossible to graft the open English game upon the American game. Such action results in a hybrid game, which is productive of many injuries. The more I thought about it the more I was convinced that Coach Kennedy's statement had much reason in it, namely, that we should either go back to the old Ameri can game, the so-called closed game, and play that, or else that we should go to the English Rugby game and play that.
I am very clear in my own mind that we need a good strenuous game for men to play during the fall season, and I am anxious that the outcome of this whole discussion shall be a permanent solution of the whole question so that we shall not be torn up every year or two by discussions of our athletics. I see no chance for the old game; I do not want football abolished; therefore I shall use my endeavor toward any solution of the problem that, whether the Rugby game or a strongly modified American game be adopted shall forever, I hope, do away with the insistent charges made against our athletics.
While we are on the matter of organization I believe that the whole system should be gone into not only in regard to the rules of the game, but in regard to every thing else connected with it. I am anxious for a permanent solution of the question on a basis so reasonable that we may have quiet and permanence in regard to our fall athletics.

BASEBALL TEAM BEING PICKED
NEARLY ALL POSITIONS PRACTICALLY SETTLED.
The Pitching Staff and Players in the Outer Garden the Only Ones in Doubt.
The baseball team for the coming season is now practically picked. With the exception of the pitching staff and the outfield, Coach Ebright has decided upon the men who will enter the first scheduled games of the season for Kansas.
For the past several weeks a number of men who represent the best material in the University have been doing practice duty on McCook. The workouts have given the coach a chance to inspect the men from every viewpoint and he confidently believes that the team of 1910 will show the 1909 squad a number of the finer points of the game.
"The pitching staff is some what up in the air," said Coael Ebright this morning. "Four men are doing good work, but since the staff can only carry three, one of the players will have to be dropped."
"The outfield is also unsettled Five men are doing good work and I cannot say at this time which three will be retained."
The men who seem to be practically settled upon and the positions they will play are: Catheer, Rockefeller; first base, Walker; second bace, Palmer; short stop, Hamlon or J. Smith; third base, Huff or Ward. The pitchers who are making the best showing; at the present time are Heizer Farrel, Sevins and Doyle.
In the outfield Harvey, Haller Lobaugh and Wilhelmi are contesting for positions. Jim Smith is also a likely candidate for a position in the outer garden in the event that he is not used at short stop.
A practice game will be held the latter part of this week and the first matched games have been scheduled with Haskell for Apri 8 and 9. After that time the team will be definitely announced.
Was a Phi Delta Phi
David J. Brewer, associate justice of the supreme court of the United States, who died last night in Washington, D.C., was elected an honorary member of the local chapter of Phi Delta Phi in 1897. Although Justice Brewer was never a student at the University, he was greatly interested in the school and especially in the development of the Law school.
Preparations are being made by the members of Phi Alpha Delta, honorary fraternity in the Law School, to celebrate the first anniversary of their installation at the University. A banquet which the Kansas City chapter of this fraternity will attend, will be the feature of the celebration It will be held at the Eldridge house, April 17.

REBEL AT "HASH AND'
Michigan Seniors Quit Eating for Revenge.
Overcome by the prospect of facing hash once and sometimes even twice a day, two well known seniors decided that starvation was far better than that, so they stopped eating last Thursday and have been subsisting upon air and books ever since, says the Michigan Daily. Needless to say air formed the greater part of their meals.
For five days neither of the two touched a morsel of food, attending classes regularly and appearing just as strong as usual. While the latter fact may seem a little wide of that very narrow mask truth, still it is a fact and may be vouched for by the presence of bruised faces among certain men of their acquaintance who decided they were in a fit condition to be manued.
The last was broken yesterday afternoon and from now until next Monday the aforesaid two will live on nothing but milk which in Ann Arbor means a die of diluted water.
No one is worried over the out come save the boarding house keepers. They glance fearfully at the hash and then sigh to think that if the fever spreads they may be forced to eat it themselves Undoubtedly it is nourishing food, but the prospect of being forced to consume it themselves palls upon them and they are fast losing that rosy and robust appearance which has made them famous.
Fads of a more comic nature than this have reached Ann Arbor and contaminated the entire student body, but of this one there need be no fear. Next to his leisure there is nothing a student likes so well as three and possibly four meals a day.
The course of dieting mentioned above may result in additional brawn and muscle, but the majority believe that an excellent steak will go a much longer way toward making a Samson of the ordinary man.
TWO SCHOLARSHIPS OPEN.
Junior and Senior Women May Apply.
Two scholarships are open to the young women of the junior and senior classes of the University this month.
One is known as the Marcella Howland Memorial scholarship. It is in the form of a gift and applications for it will be received until May 1.
The committee which receives applications for the first scholarship is composed of Professors Galloo, Hyde and Oliver. The committee which represents the second consists of Mrs. Clara P. Smithmeyer, Miss Hannah Oliver and Mrs. W. A. Griffith.
The second is the Lucinda Smith Buchan Memorial scholarship and consists of a loan of $200 for two years without interest. The same time limit of receiving applications for it as for the first is allowed.

WILL PETITION FOR FOOTBALL
MOVEMENT STARTED MASS MEETING.
Student Committee Will Draw Up Arguments Showing Why Game Should Be Retained.
It was decided to address a petition to the Regents asking that football be retained in practically its present form, and to send along with the petition a brief setting forth the reasons why football should be retained in the list of University sports. Five men—Ralph Spotts, Earl Fischer, Carl Pleasant, Tommy Johnson, and William Caldwell,—were appointed by President Edwin Baumgartner of the Student Council to draw up the brief. O. A. Baum, Harold Armsby, and George A. Neal, jr., were appointed to secure expressions from alumni of the University, which also will be submitted to the Regents.
The mass meeting held in Fraser hall last night took measures to make the Board of Regents of the University acquainted with what the students are thinking on the football question.
The meeting lacked the effervescent qualities of the usual football rally. The three hundred men present were there to talk seriously about football. The speeches made were to inform, not to arouse enthusiasm. Coach Kennedy and Dr. James Naismith were the two speakers who were not students.
Coach Kennedy gave a talk on the changes that have been made to improve the game in recent years. The coach is in favor of the old-fashioned closed game but he believed recent change have all been made with a view to the betterment of the game.
"It was different under the old rules committee, which was formed by the New York Athletic club," said Coach Kennedy. "In those days revision of the rules was largely politics. A coach would invent a new play and win victories with it. The next year the coaches he had beaten would influence the rules committee to declare the play illegal.
"Nowadays the rules committee is made up of University men whose one aim is to make the game better. I believe the most exhaustive study of American Rugby ever made preceded the recommendations made by the present rules committee. They are trying their best to keep the game a good game and at the same time make it safer."
The coach said that if the present tendency toward open play keeps on, it might be wise to lessen the value of possession of the ball. In the present game, he said, accidents had resulted from combining open play with the present value of the ball, which the player will run any risk rather than lose.
"I have always believed that football is the typical college game," said Dr. James Naismith,
professor of physical education. "It seems so because it is possible for twenty or thirty thousand students to watch every movement of the ball and get individual thrills from its progress. The hold it takes of the spectators can be seen in the way the man on the bleachers tries to 'help' with straining muscles the representatives of his college when they are being forced down the field.
"The thing to be done is to make football the best possible game. That will insure its life for everybody believes in athletics. It is important that the students show the Regents that they are in favor of a good clear game, and that they believe the game has intrinsic value."
"One thing to bear in mind is the fact that the critics of the game are looking at the abuses on the game, not at the game itself as a whole," continued Dr. Naim smith. "When we look at the game as a whole and at its history we can see that great strides have been taken in making it a better sport.
"In the period from 1897 to the present, conditions have changed greatly. In 1897 we had twelve men who played football during the season. Last year 109 men were using football suits. In the early days professionalism was a common thing; now there is none. In 1897 there were no restrictions as to class standing or amount of work carried. A student could show up from no one knew where and go to playing football. He was not required to spend any time at the University before entering the game. Now a year's attendance is required, and the player's class work is under close inspection.
"The most significant thing in this change is that the student of the University are back of it. They are for eliminating the faults of football as fast as it can be done."
"Football at the University of Kansas is suffering from the bad showing football has made at other places," said Captain Carl Pleasant. "As long as I have played the game I have never seen a man seriously hurt either on the Kansas or the oposing teams. As long as we can show at the University of Kansas a record of no men injured and high class standing of the players, I think the game ought to be allowed to continue."
"The new rules will eliminate injuries," said Captain "Tommy" Johnson. "They will make the game more an individual game and ought to be satisfactory to the critics."
Ralph Spotts said, "It is up to the students to show why football should be retained at the University if they want it retained. Let every student help to compile a list of arguments against the abolition of football, to refute the article which Regent Gleed has written to kill the game."
Geo. Neal then moved the appointment of a committee for that purpose. The motion carried. The committee will finish its work in ample time to present its brief to the Board of Regents by the time the meeting to discuss the game is held in Kansas City April 19.
RECORDS FAVOR FRATERNITIES
ANNOUNCEMENT IS NOT OF FICIAL.
Report Says Fraternity Standing Is Above Non-Fraternity— Meeting This Afternoon.
The average hours of delinquency of the fraternity members was 14 per cent while that of the non-fraternity students is said to be 16 per cent. These figures represent the work of the fall semester. Last year the standing of the fraternities was not so high as that of the non-fraternity students.
Although not officially announced, it became known this afternoon that the report of the scholarship standing of the University students, other than fraternity members, which was completed today by Registrar Foster shows that the latter students fell below the standard of the fraternity members. The difference in the percentages of the two classes is said to be 2 per cent of the hours carried.
The Pan-Hellenic organization of the fraternities is meeting with Cancellor Strong this afternoon. The meeting is being held for the purpose of allowing the fraternities to present their sentiments with regard to the passing of the sophomore pledging rule, which has been suggested by the Chanceller.
It is not definitely known what views will be presented by the fraternity men, since a definite outline of their arguments will not be prepared until just before the meeting with the Chancellor is called.

LOVING CUP OFFERED.
Athletic Manager to Give It to the Best Punter.
The athletic management announced this morning that a loving cup would be given to the football player who, at the end of the spring practice, had shown the greatest skill in punting, drop kicking and in the forward pass. Last year this cup was offered by the Kansan and was won by Captain-Elect Tommy Johnson. The cup this year will be similar to the one given last spring and will be awarded in May.
The first spring practice work was done yesterday afternoon on McCook field when twelve mem met and went through preliminary work under the direction of Captain Pleasant and Captain elect Johnson. The squad is handicapped this year on account of the unsettled conditions of the game at the University. Very little practice work can be done until after the football conference of the delegates from the Missouri Valley schools is held in Kansas City on April 19.If radical changes are made in the rules at that time it will affect the work greatly and consequently practices are being held back.
Already the outlook for a team of the usual Kansas class next fall is good. An abundance of material is to be found in the school. Besides the freshmen of last fall and others who will be candidates for next year's 'Varsity there are year's eleven. They are Johnson, a number of eligibles from last Heil, Brownlee, Ammons, Ford Dahlene, Randall, Maxwell, Davidson, Lynch, V. Smith and R. Smith.

FOR A TENNIS CLUB.
A meeting of the women of the University will be held tomorrow at 4:30 in room 118, Fraser hall, to adopt a constitution and to elect officers for a tennis club. All of the women of the University who are interested in tennis are asked to attend the meeting.
ATHLETIC BOARD TO INVESTIGATE
WILL COMPILE DATA FOR FOOTBALL REPORT.
Committee of Three Will Prepare Arguments to Present to the Regents.
It became know for the first time today that a committee has been appointed by the athletic board for the purpose of inquiring into the arguments for and against football at the University of Kansas and is now working on those arguments. The committee consists of Dr. C. E. MeClung, Dr. Naismith and Tommy Johnson.
These men were appointed at the last meting of the board and were instructed to prepare data with especial reference to the article by Regent J. W. Gleed, that has been referred to so much in the present football controversy. Each phase of that article will be considered and all possible data gathered to either help prove or disprove the statements which Mr. Gleed has made. The material which this committee gathers will be used at the time of the meeting of the delegates of the Missouri Valley schools at the football conference in Kansas City April 19.
The work has been divided into three divisions. One is the compiling of data which opposes the present game and is being worked upon by Dr. McClung. Another favors the game as it is played at this time at the University and the arguments in this division are being prepared by Captain-elect Johnson. Dr. Naismith in the meantime is compiling data on the physical effect upon players.
As to what will be the result of the work now under headway cannot be said. The report will not be made public until it is presented to the Board of Regents as the statement of the attitude of the athletic authorities of the University of Kansas.
When asked if the question of adopting Rugby would be taken up one member of the committee said, "We have not decided upon what our final report will embody. We may recommend changes in the rules if we find they will be of advantage."
The work of this committee will not interfere in any way with the work which will be done along the same line by the committee of students which has been appointed by the Student Council.
PRESIDENT WATERS HERE
Will Speak at Chapel Tomorrow Mornig.
President Henry J. Waters of the Kansas State Agricultural School at Manhattan, will be the guest of the University tomorrow. He is coming to Lawrence to speak at the chapel exercises tomorrow morning. Chancellor Strong will give a luncheon in his honor.
A tryout for the tennis team which is to meet Baker April 30, will be held in two weeks.

THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1910
The students who came out to the mass meeting last night did all that the students can do for the game of football. The petition which will be sent to the Board of Regents expresses the views of the student body. Every student in the University should make sure that his signature is attached to it. The brief for football, which the committee appointed last night will present to the Regents, will do for football something that has not been done except by piecemeal. It will present in concise form all the arguments in favor of retaining the game, as Regent Gleed's interview published some time ago presented the arguments for abolishing the game. The students of the University are strong in the belief that football will not suffer when the arguments for and against are lined up together and compared.
The Student Council came forward as the true representative of the student body last night by holding a mass meeting to discuss a subject in which the students are deeply interested. There is hope that the Student Council will soon come to play the part in University affairs which belong to it, and cease to be a useless University organization.
The "Beat Kansas" spirit which was worked so hard in the Missouri valley last fall, has made its appearance already for the season of 1910. The Washburn Review is admonishing its constituency to begin saving money with which to buy gold footballs for the Washburn team if the University of Kansas team is beaten in the game next fall.
Beating the "Rule o' Thumb." Kansas City Star.
When Robert Kennedy Duncan, professor of industrial chemistry in the University of Kansas, wrote a magazine article four years ago on cellulose and incidentally referred to the lack of information as to the chemical treatment or fabrics in laundries, he could hardly have imagined the important consequences that would follow from his statement. It happened that the article was read by a manufacturer of laundry supplies, who at once began a correspondence with Professor Duncan. The outcome was the establishing of the first of the industrial fellowships in the University of Kansas that are doing pioneer work in the United States toward putting industry on a scientific basis, as it is in Germany.
A recent statement by Professor Duncan shows how the work has developed. Altogether, eleven fellowships have been established. The fellow who undertook the problem of finding a way to launder clothes without destroying the fabrics has finished his work at the university and is now with the corporation that endowed the fellowship. No hint is given of the success of the investigation, but there will be a general hope that the results will become apparent in decreased shirt and collar bills within the next few years.
---
Another fellow has been engaged in an investigation that promises to increase the value of the alfalfa crop. He has discovered a method of conserving the food value of alfalfa in drying it so as to make it a richer fodder. The results are now being tested on a large scale in the feeding of sheep. The chemistry of bread was another subject under consideration in the laboratories at Lawrence. It has proved exceedingly difficult to produce a salt-rising bread of a uniform standard, day after day. The fellow discovered that the bacterium involved in salt-rising bread is not in the yeast, as had been supposed. He finally succeeded in isolating the bacterium and in growing cultures of it to be put on the market so that salt-rising bread may be made of a uniform quality.
Another interesting problem has been the utilization of the constituents of the waste buttermilk from the butter factories. No one had ever succeeded in isolating casein from buttermilk in condition available for use. For a year and a half a fellow worked on the problem without success, but he finally solved it, and Professor Duncan says that "the success of this one operation ought to add millions to the property of this country."
Two fellows working on the betterment of enamel for enamellined steel tanks have been successful in creating an enamel which is more resistive than any heretofore made. The manufacture is about to begin on a commercial scale. Other investigations concern the manufacture of hydrate of lime, the chemical treatment of wood, new uses for borax and the duetless glands of deep sea animals.
The success of these fellowships suggests great possibilities for the development of industrial chemistry in the United States. Only the barest beginning has been made at Lawrence. But as the attention of manufacturers is more and more attracted to the work it should prove of increasing importance. Professor Duncan and the University of Kansas have done the country great service in pioneering.
Several changes in the cast of the French play, "Moi," were an announced today. Louis Buxton has been assigned to the role of De La Porsheriae; Clara Osgood will take the part of Madam De Verriers, Wilbur Benucham will play the part of Aubbrun. The part of German will be taken by David Wenrick.

COMPLETE ORDER OF HEMIPTERA
MISS HAZEL BRANCH DOING IMPORTANT WORK.
The Family of Tree-Hoppers Is Being Worked Out in a Scientific Manner.
Some of the most important scientific research work that is taking place at the University at this time is that being done by Miss Hazel Branch, '08, of Wichita who recently returned to Lawrence to work for her master's degree. The work which she is doing includes a systematic and biologic survey of the family of Mendracidae in the order of Hemiptera. The more common name for this family of insects is the tree hopper.
The importance of the present work lies in the fact that the order has never been completely worked out in this or any other state. Up to this time three of the families are lacking. Two of those three are now being worked out by eminent scientists and the third and last family which will complete the order will be completed by Miss Branch.
The work on the families which has been completed up to this time has been done by such scientists as Prof. E. S. Crumb, of the Bureau of Entomology at Washington, Prof. H. J. Meek, of the University of Wisconsin; Professor or Sanborn, entomologist for Oklahoma; Prof. H. B. Stough, of Atchison, and Prof. S. J. Hunter, of the University of Kansas, who has worked out two of the families.
The Order of Hemiptera in includes insects more commonly known to the people of this state as the green bug, the locust, and the harvest fly. When the entire order is finished all of the families will be placed under one cover as a text book.
"The Order of Hemiptera," said Professor Hunter this morning, "is of more biologic and economic interest to the people of the state of Kausas than any other order of insects. The work which is being done by Miss Branch is a step toward the completion of that order."
Walter Williams Honored.
Walter Williams, Dean of the School of Journalism of the University of Missouri, yesterday received notice that he had been elected a Fellow of the British Institute of Journalists. Dean Williams delivered the annual address before the Institute at Plymouth, England, last August.

NEW SCHOOL TO BE HIGH GRADE
WILL STUDY PROBLEMS OF EDUCATION.
Dr. Johnston Will Take Charge of the New Work September 1, 1910.
The new School of Education of the University of Kansas which will be headed by Dr. Chas Hughes Johnston, now of Michigan, will be organized with a special view to meeting the problems that are now demanding solution in education. "The work will be high grade," said Chancellor Strong, this morning, "with special attention to graduate study and research." The organization of the School will probably not be entirely completed until Dr Johnston takes up his new duties
D. M. SMITH
DR. CHARLES H. JOHNSTON.
at the University, September 1. The work of the new School will be to investigate the fundamental principles of education. It will duplicate to as small a degree as possible such work as is done at the State Normal school. Instead of placing the emphasis on the work of preparing teachers to hold positions, it will be placed on studying the basic principles on which teaching is done.
Dr. Johnston is specially fitted to develop the growth of the school in this field, to which little attention has been given in the Middle West. He has spent years in research work, and has to his credit a long list of articles published in the leading educational magazines. He is a graduate of the University of North Carolina but has done all of his work in the North since leaving that university.
When the School was first authorized by the Board of Regents it was planned to include in its jurisdiction the departments of University extension and school visitation. This will not be done The two departments will be kept independent of all Schools of the University, as they touch equally all kinds of University work.
Their Last Party.
The class of 1911 is to finish its series of parties as the close of 1911, on Friday evening. That evening at Fraternal Aid hall they will give their last party except the Junior prom. In order to leave a good impression of the class, the social committee is making special preparations to make this the best party of the year. Shanty's full orchestra will furnish the music for the dancing, which will begin at 9 o'clock. Although the committee will have added expenses, the price of admission will be the usual sum of 75 cents.-Adv.

ON GERMAN SCHOOLS.
Prof. J. A Campbell in Chapel Yesterday.
Prof. J. A. Campbell spoke in chapel yesterday morning in regard to the work in Prussian secondary schools as observed by him last year while he was acting in the capacity of an exchange professor in Germany. "These schools," he said, "present courses of three types: classical, modern languages and science, and a combination of the first two Nine years is required for each course and the ten-year-old boy must decide which of the courses will receive his attention. By the age of 12 the boy or his parents for him is practically forced to determine the line of study for his life work.
"Even in the preparatory school the German boy is under rigid discipline. His parents combine with instructors to keep a close oversight of his work. If he faib in one study he must take his entire list of studies over again the next year. He receives a complete quiz at the end of his nine-year course and here again he must take another year if he fails in even one subject. Thus the young German school boy has a more thorough knowledge of books than his American cousin, though he may have a less comprehensive view of life in general."
The German universities allow no students to enter without having fully completed entrance requirements. Professor Campbell said that while the students lack social organizations and some other advantages they have some compensations. In the winter they have occasional free afternoons for skating, and in the summer some cessation on very hot days.
TO BE ASSISTANT CURATOR
Entomological Department Adds Faculty Member.
Mr. Francis Williams, Leland Stanford, '08, arrived at the University this week to take up work as a new member of the department of entomology. He will be assistant curator of the entomological collections.
Mr. Williams leaves a position in San Francisco on the staff of the state entomoligis there in order to devote himself to his chosen field. He has published, in the leading entomological journals several important papers and has devoted himself especially to the Lepidoptera. Mr. Williams was the entomologist for the famous scientific expedition to the Galapagos islands.
SPOKE TO Y. W. C. A.
Juvenile Court Judge Tells of His Work.
"We come into the world with the instincts of animals. We have no idea of right and wrong until we are educated to have," said Judge Hugh Means, of the juvenile court, in his talk at the Y. W. C. A. meeting yesterday afternoon.
Football Men Not to Wrestle.
This theory Judge Means puts into practice in his dealings with offenders who come under his jurisdiction. He says the word "judge," in regard to the juvenile court is a misnomer,—that he rather talks to the little scoundrels, as he calls them, to see what he can get out of them about their life and their point of view of things.
Prof. W. H. Johnson, the high school visitor of the University, attended the fifteenth annual meeting of the North Central association of colleges ad secondary schools at Chicago last Friday and Saturday.
As a result of many injuries to the University of Pennsylvania wrestlers this year, Mike Murphy, the athletic trainer of that institution, has forbidden the football men to appear on the mat. Heretofore Murphy has always urged the kickers of the football squad to wrestle, contending that it was one of the best exercises for developing strength and speed, but recent accidents have changed his opinion.

SECOND QUAKE WAS RECORDED
THE SEISMOGRAPH SHOWED LONG DISTURBANCE.
The Instrument Recorded Distant Earthquake Yesterday. Morning.
Prof. H. P. Cady, who has charge of the weather instruments of the University detected movements of the seismograph which was recently installed in the basement of Fraser hall, at 11:48 yesterday morning. The instrument recorded a continuous earthquake shock for about 32 minutes.
The recording was not sufficiently detailed so that the direction of the shocks could be definitely determined, but the east and west components of the seis mograph seemed to be stronger than the north and south.
Yesterday's disturbance was the second earthquake shock to be recorded by the University seismograph. The first occurred on March 9, and was apparently more violent than the one recorded yesterday.
The seismograph at Washington University recorded earthquake shocks at the same time the shocks were recorded here. Nothing has been learned, however, a to the locality in which the shock took place, but from the reading of the seismograph the greatest force of the shock was apparently a good way off.
At the present time the University seismograph is being slightly changed by Professor Cady. Extra weights are being placed upon the contrivance that are expected to make it somewhat more sensitive in the future.

Will Not Become v Professional.
"Tommy Johnson, the Kansas University basket-ball and football player is trying for a position with the Oklahoma City baseball team of the Western as sociation. He played shortstop Saturday for this team in an exhibition game with the St. Louis Americans. He made one hit and one error. The outfield is said to be his regular position. If he fails to "make good" it will not impair his amateur standing, acording to the rules of the Western Amateur association."
The above story which appeared in the "University Missouri, " the official publication of the University of Missouri yesterday, was emphatically denied by Tommy Johnson this morning. "There is absolutely no truth to it," he said. "In the first place I have no time to spend on baseball. More than that I have never corresponded with the Oklahoma City management and above all could not afford to impair my amateur athletic standing at the University by playing on professional teams of any kind."

Eastern Magazine Prints Bio graphical Sketch.
HARRY KEMP'S "LIFE."
Harry Kemp has arrived at the position among men of note where the magazines are printing biographical articles about him "Human Life" for April has a half-page sketch of the Kansas poet, which traces his life from the time when he "took the road' under the guidance of professional al hoboes until he came to rest in the shelter of Mount Oread and devoted himself to the task of turning his experiences and observations into magazine "copy."
The heading of the article is "Harry Kemp, the Tramp Poet of Kansas." The subject of the sketch feels that an injustice is being done to him, for by the time he began to attract notice in the public prints as a "tramp poet," or in fact as any kind of a poet he had abandoned his old manner of living, and was no longer a tramp, which he became "when mere slip of a boy" as Human Life has it. The writer of that article was not without an imagination of his own. He says that Kemp when a student in the University "often broke up classes by some iconoclastic remark"—which is news both to the poet and to his instructors.

TO AID THE FARMERS.
University to Exterminate the Chinch Bugs.
Prof. F. H. Billings and some of his assistants have spent the last few weeks in examining soils in various parts of the state in order to find out whether chinch bugs can be infected by the farmers without the aid of the University.
As a result of their investigations it has been discovered that the soil of some counties if kept damp will develop the fungus which proves so deadly to the bugs. With all the infected bugs which will be sent out this summer a bulletin will be enclosed explaining to the farmers how they can experiment with the soil for the one purpose of finding out whether that particular soil contains the fungus. This is expected to be of great value to the University if successful, since it will save the University the cost of infecting and mailing the bugs
