TO GIVE ALICE IN WONDERLAND
WORK OF THE WOMEN'S STUDENT ASSOCIATION.
Instead of the usual May fete, which has been an annual event at the University of Kansas, the Women's Student Government Association of the University will this year present, on May 4, Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland," which has been dramatized by Prof. W. S. Johnson especially for this event.
The play will be staged among the trees in North Hollow, unless the weather should make outdoor staging impossible, when it will be given in the gymnasium. Prof. Raymond will direct the production. The cast for the play is very large, comprising about seventy-five characters, who have been chosen from among the University girls by the members of the English faculty. The first rehearsal will take place Tuesday, April 5.Prof W. H. Davis and Mrs. Davis are supervising the dramatic work. Miss Gilbreath will select the costumes. Miss Fish will teach the dances and pantomime work and Mrs. Blanche Lyons the music.
Has Been Dramatized by Prof W. S. Johnson Especially for May Day Fete.
The primary purpose of the entertainment is to secure funds for the maintenance of the scholarships for freshman girls which the Women's Student Gov ernment association decided to offer some time ago.
The districts of the Association under the direction of Miss Gardner and Miss Nowlin,will arrange booths on the campus where visitors may obtain refreshments such as Alice found in Wonderland.

WILL MEET MONDAY.
Athletic Association May Hola Election Then.
A meeting of the Athletic Association will be held in the chapel Monday at 12:15. Whether the annual election of officers will take place at that time depends on the action taken at the meeting.

If there is no sentiment in favor of an Australian ballot the Association will proceed to elect officers Monday noon.

A DAY OF DERBIES
Freshman Heads Minus Diminu tive Merry Widows.
NUMBER 74
Where are freshman caps?
April 1 was the date set by the Student- Council for the stowage of freshman derbies and the enore of their microscopic hats, but they kept right on wearing the same old lids. Now the question is, did the freshmen bid defiance to the Student Council of the University of Kansas, or was it merely an April fool's day joke on that austere body.
"I'll soon be a sophomore, and besides, that kind of cap is not in style this season."
"Oh, I'm a law, not an ordina ry freshman."
The only plausible excuse was offered by an auburn-haired freshman, who said, "If the members of that Student Council had red hair they would not have passed that rule."
There are various excuses of

fantile class, viz. ;

The sophomore class will hold meeting in chapel at 12:15 on Monday.
TO PLAY RUGBY NEXT SEASON
CIRCUMSTANCES INDICATI ADOPTION OF NEW GAME.
Kennedy Will Begin Teaching English Game to Players Monday-Other Reasons.
That Rugby football is the game that will be played at the University of Kansas next fall became more than a possibility today. It loomed upon the horizon of the faithful rooters as almost a certainty when the anouncement was made this morning that spring practice beginning Monday will be devoted to the Rugby game.
Coach Kennedy will take charge of the practice at that time. He has been studying the Rugby rules—has been carrying the book around with him for a month, in fact. The rooters take it to mean that when as loyal a supporter of the old game as he takes up with Rugby so earnestly it is because he is sure of the doom of the present game.
A majority of the members of the Athletic board of the University do not think the changes proposed by the National Rules committee will materially improve the game. The opinion will go a long way in shaping the attitude of the University at the Missouri Valley conference in Kansas City April 19. Add to this the fact that a resolution of the Board of Regents is already on record providing that the game is abolished until the rules are changed in a way that suits the Regents—well, it all does not look promising for the old game does it?
When asked about the incorporation of Rugby into practice work this afternoon, Coach Kennedy said, "I think the game of Rugby should be used in spring practice this year."
"I believe that as good a play as any would be to let next year's freshmen taam play the proposed game. After that we would be able to judge more intelligently as to the merits of the game; but it seems that the Regeents are not in favor of allowing our American football to exist another year at t he University, so I suppose they would not agree to this plan.
"I have two or three good reasons for this. In the first place the drill would do just as much toward getting the men into condition for next season, as does the present style of ball, and at the same time, we would be giving the English game a try-out with a view towards its possible adoption. I do not believe in rejecting any proposition without investigating it thoroughly; and since we have never seen Rugby, at this school, it seems only fail to give it a trial, at least.
"As to who would coach Rug by in case it is adopted, I cannot say. At the other American

schools where football has been replaced by Rugby, a precedent has been established whereby the football coaches were retained to teach the new game. When it was first suggested to me that this be done at the University, I must confess that I was not much impressed; but 'he more I think about it, the less obstinate I grow and, when the time comes maybe—' but the coach could not be induced to say any more; he simply smiled.
KANSAS TOOK HONORS.
In the first annual indoor meet of the western division of the Amateur Athletic union at Omaha, Neb., last night, the Kansasmen figured as one of the classiest teams entered. Among the 294 athletes who participated the Kansans divided the university honors with Iowa and Nebraska. Chicago, Omaha and Kansas City divided the points as to the cities.
Made Good Showing in W. A. A U.Meet.
Many of the best athletes in the middle west were entered in the events of last night's meet, but no better work was done by any than by Roberts and French of the University. Roberts sprung a surprise by annexing the W. A. A. U. championship in the 50-yard dash, and in nosing out a few inches ahead of Hadock. French also took the high jump honor by clearing the bar at 6 feet.
The events in which Kansa figured follow;

SCHOLARSHIPS ARE NEEDED
147 GIRLS WORKING WAY THROUGH SCHOOL.
Number of Small Scholarships Would Prevent Many Going Home Broken in Health.
The Women's Student Government association, in investigating the condition of girls at the University who are earning all or a part of their way through school, has discovered urgent need for more scholarships which are open to girls.
The girls who are doing outside work while in school to pay expenses now number 147. Fifty-six earn their entire way. Some of the occupations in which they are engaged are housework, tutoring, stenog, apne work, and soliciting subscriptions to magazines. Many earn money by teaching before entering school and support themselves entirely on their own earnings.
While some of the young women have pleasant and agreeable work, many use up their reserve energy and are compelled to return home broken down in health if not also in ambition and hope. "A number of small scholarships of little more than $200 would go far toward lightening the burdens of the girls who support themselves. It will enable them to continue in school," said Mis Pearl Stuckey, president of the Women's Student Government association, today. The Woman's Student Governmen association has taken the initiative by offering a scholarship open to girls for their sophomore year
FINALS TUESDAY NIGHT.
Wrestlers to Decide Champion ship.
The semi-finals in the wrestling matches were held last night in the gymnasium. The matches resulted in Roberts winning from Utterbach in twenty minutes. Smith from Welch in five minutes and Wenger from Ziegler in twenty-eight minutes.
The final matches to decide the University champions in the different divisions will be held in the gym on next Tuesday night. At that time Gorsuch and Fastter will wrestle for honors in the light weight, Roberts and Wenger in the middle-weight, and Smith and Bond in the heavy-weight classes. Two falls will be necessary for a decision in each case.
May Wear Caps and Gowns.
The members of the faculty will be asked to wear caps and gowns during commencement week this spring. Such was the decision of the senior class, reached at a meeting held in chap el yesterday. A committee has been appointed to make the request of the members of the faculty next week.

WHAT $850 COULD DO.
In the eight years during which the senior classes of the University interested themselves in swelling the amount of the Students' Loan Fund by contributing to it the profits from the senior plays, the sum of $860 was added to the fund from that source. That is an average o $107 a year. For the past eight years the policy of diverting the profits of the plays into private pockets has been pursued by senior classes. It is fair to assume that the profits of the last eight senior plays have been as great as the profits of the preceding eight. In that event, if the custom of turning the profits of the play into the Students' Loan Fund had been followed uninterruptedly, the fund would now be $850 richer than it is. The sum would help from four to eight students through a year at the University—would mean the difference between success and failure in the ambition to get a University education. The Women's Student Government as sociation has discovered a great need of financial help among University women. There are many cases of the same sorrow among the men. Here is a chance for the senior class to render a needed service to the University
The Student Council has recommended to the Athletic Association that the constitution of the latter organization be amended to provide for elections according to the Australian ballot system. It has been the policy at the University in recent years to hold all important elections by the Australian system as by that method an unfair election is impossible. The Council's recommendation will un doubtlessly be passed at the meeting of the Association at noot Monday.
It's a bit surprising, isn't it that in spite of the precarious condition of University athletics at present, enough students could be found to man the opposing tickets for the Athletic Association?
To Rugby or not to Rugby— that is the question.

added before his study-tired eyes Faintly through the open window drifted the songs of a band of serenaders. Night after night he had heard it all before, and had only closed his windows so the noise would not disturb him But tonight the careless laugh o the boys on the street no longer jarred on his studious temperament. It awoke in his heart a strange answering echo. He tried to manipulate the formulae, but the thought of the congenia band marching arm in arm, sing ing their dreamy songs, got between him and his book. He could see the little new moor curled up in the sky and he knew it was adding just one more touch of romance to the hour o the wandering singers. For the first time in his life he felt the call. He could not account for it The ceaseless routine, the days o carefully-heard minutes for study seemed to have lost their appeal. His soul yearned for the good comradeship, his lungs panted for the cool night air The sounds of the voices, harsh from long singing, were sweeter to him than any other sounds he had ever heard. He stepped to the window, his eyes dark with the emotions stirring him, his lips parted to join in the chorus And then he realized that he was only the Collar Gind.
"HUMAN INTEREST" NEWS
W. R. Kercher Tells Journalism Students About It.
W. R. Kercher, who writes the stories of humor and pathos in the "Kansas Topics" column of the Kansas City Journal, lectured before the sophomore class in journalism Wednesday morning.
"How do I get my stories for the 'Kansas Topics' column? I try to get the personal, intimate side of a man," said Mr.Kercher. "To do that, you must catch him in repose. You must manage to be welcome in a group of men who are 'just visiting.' You simply have to be an expert loafer."
Expert loafer—those words sounded good to the members of the class, many of whom believe themselves already competent to write "Kansas Topics" stuff, if being an expert loafer is the chief qualification.
"You will find in your daily running and loafing after news," continued Mr. Kercher, "little incidents, little anecdotes, little tears that, if woven into plain, simple English words in your newspaper, will come to be looked for eagerly by your readers.
"It is a mistake to think that only living, exciting incidents of one particular day make real news. Things that are interesting, fed in homeopathic doses—a lot of things—the fifty-seven varieties—that's news. That's what makes a newspaper. Add to a chronicling of the day's events a touch of history, a squad of anecdotes, some quips of humor, a touch of the sentimental or the pathetic, some lines of description all these things adroitly and skilfully handled and attached so far as possible to acts and events and times that are current, and then you get the full and whole meaning of the word 'news' and you make a complete and whole newspaper."

MANY NEW FEATURES.
To Be Introduced in the Junior Prom.
During the past several weeks the managers of the Junior prom have been preparing to introduce a number of original ideas at the time of the giving of the annual party next month. One of the greatest changes from the usual arangements will be the placing of the stage on which the farce will be given, on the lower floor, known as the banquet hall. By so doing the time generally lost from the time the farce is finished until the chairs in the dance hall may be removed, is saved.
Another change will be in the position of the orchestra. This year the musicians will occupy a platform in the center of the floor rather than at one end. The decoration committee is also hard at work and expects to bring forth a number of original ideas in decorating.
LECTURES FOR LAWYERS.
Three Imported Speakers in the Month of April.
During the month of April the School of Law will have lectures from Prof. Henry C. Mill of the faculty of the University of Missouri; S. G. Slonecker, of Topeka, and Roger W. Cooley, of St. Paul, Minn.
Professor Mill will be here on Monday, April 4. and will lecture at 1:30 on a subject not yet announced. Mr. S. G. Sloneeker, register in bankruptey, will give a series of six lectures late in April on the "Bankrupt Law." Roger W. Cooley will also come during the latter part of the month and wil speak on "Law and How to Find It."
Medical Society to Meet.
There will be a meeting of the medical society at the University of Kansas, Wednesday, April 6, at Snow hall.
The following program will be given :
"Origin of Medical Frauds," Professor Sayre; "Practical Physcological Tests," Prof. H. W. Emerson; "Life of William Harvey," Frank F. Maple.
Miss Edith Lawson and Miss Gretchen Rankin spent the day in Kansas City.

HAVE RELICS OF THE EARLY DAYS
CHANCELLOR FRASER'S NOTE BOOKS RECEIVED.
They Show That University's Sec ond Head Taught Ten Subjects in 6 Years.
The class-room and special lecture notes of Chancellor John Fraser were received at Spooner library the first of the week. They were sent as a gift to 'the University from Mrs.Fraser, who is living in Madison, Wis.
By the class-room notes, which are found in four volumes, it is shown that during the six years he was the head of the University. General Fraser taught political economy, international law, sociology, psychology, logic biology, literature, algebra, and poetry.
General Fraser was the second chancellor of the University. He succeeded the Rev. R. W. Oliver in 1868 and held the office until 1874, when James Marvin became chancellor. The building of the structure which now bears his name was the great work which Chancellor Fraser did for the University. He obtained the funds for the purpose from the state legislature and from the sale of city bonds.
Among the notes is a letter addressed to the treasury department at Washington asking for the discarded instruments of the coast survey for the use of the classes in "Praetical Astronomy." The letter is dated July 25,1868.
When General Fraser became chancellor in 1868, the enrolment of the University was 122 and the faculty had five members When he retired in 1874, the at tendance was 272 and there were ten members of the faculty
General Fraser's Civil war uniform and weapons, which are preserved in the case on the stairs leading to the history reading room in the library, were also presented to the University by Mrs. Fraser.
A SOPHOMORE FARCE
An Innovation for This Year's Prom.
An entirely new feature is to be incorporated in the Sophomore prom this spring, when a musical comedy is to be introduced as a part of the entertainment. The comedy is called "Miss Independence" and has been written by Geo. W. Bowles sophomore in the College.
The plot of the play is woven about college life at the University. It deals with the objections of parents to their sons participating in college athletics and also includes a college romance Eight musical numbers, besides the opening chorus, have been written by Mr. Bowles, and will be sung by the company. Dancing will also be introduced.
The comedy is being printed in booklet form by a Kansas City music house and will be placed on sale on the night of the prom. The try-out for places in the east will be held this evening; at 7:00 o'clock in Fraser hall Twenty-five sophomores will be chosen for the different parts
Preparing Specifications
Specifications for the east wing of the new Administration building are in the hands of the state printer to be put in printed form. They will be ready the middle of next week for the contractors.
University Orchestra Pleaseed Large Audience.
GAVE GOOD CONCERT.
Before a large audience, the University orchestra gave its seventh annual spring concert in Fraser hall Thursday eveningThe orchestra has been increasing in merit each year and the character of the music and the excellence of its execution this year was all that could be asked.
Each number was favorably received. Perhaps the selection from Beethoven and the minute of Dean Skilton's own composition were the most pleasing to the audience. The solo by Professor Hubach was given the usual cordial reception which his singing receives.
The students and members of the faculty who constitute the orchestra this year are:
Director—Dean C. S. Skilton Members—Concert-master, Professor Wort Morse; Beatrice Dalton, Helen Hill, Louis LaCoss Benjamin Leventhal. Second violins William Hoyt, Frances Smith Reginald DePoe, Scott Johnson Violas—Mrs. B. J. Dalton, Professor Wermicke. Violincellos—Milton Demand, Ralph Stevens Double bass—Wesley Demand Charles Robinson, Professor Hood. Oboe—E. G. Young, Clarinets—William Burkholder, R. S Pond. Bassoon—Professor Landrum. Cornet—Roy Baer French horns—Professor Jones J. C. McArthur, A. J. Thompson Trombones—Ralph Johnson, Professor Bushong. Tuba—theodore Aschmann. Tympani—C. H Withington. Drums—Professor Gardner.
The orchestra was assisted by Mr. J. H . Martling, bassoon and Mr. J. C. MeCanles, cornet.
PRESIDENT WATERS SPOKE
"Combine Genius With Judg ment,' He Said.
"Genius standing alone uncombined with judgment is the poorest equipment a man can have," said President Henry J. Waters of the Kansas State Agricultural College, in his address in chapel yesterday morning. Mr. Waters emphasized the value of common sense and a development of judgment in contrast with a dependence on mere genius.
The fear of making mistakes was the first of the common college mistakes discussed by President Waters. Such an attitude makes men cowardly, he said. The man who does things makes mistakes, but not the fundamental one of doing nothing. In speaking of the students' mistakes in an improper division of time President Waters contrasted the "good fellow" and the "grind," and suggested the need of individual inventories to determine the proper station between the two extremes.
"The greatest good any study can give you is to make you do cheerfully what you do not want to do," said President Waters in presenting the mistake which students make when they seek to dodge difficulties. The college diploma should not be undervalued because it means that the student has made good in his first test. The world at large deires at least this much evidence that the man who asks for its rewards is not a quitter.
Vance Day went to Kansas City yesterday to spend Saturday and Sunday with his parents.

GOT POETIC JUSTICE
An Editor Who Dunned Subscribers in Verse Regrets It.
The usually placid office of the Graduate Magazine has been the scene of a good deal of excitement during the last month. The editor of the Magazine tells about it in the March number just out. He says:
"The alumni are long-suffering, but there is a limit to what they will endure without resistance—as the office of the Magazine has learned in sorrow during the past week. A thousand or more statements of subscription accounts were sent out recently to members of the association. In the upper left hand corner of these statements—where there would otherwise be been a barren blank on the sheet—was printed a verse of "poetry," correct in rhyme and meter and permeated by high moral sentiment, starting off with a soothing rhyme to the effect that the "K. U. Grad. is a prompt Ok Soul, if he only happens to think," ete., and closing with a highly poetic allusion to the act of writing a check. The effort represented by the stanza was altogether humanitarian; it was born of a sincere desire to spread a little jam of sentiment on the dry bread of debt-paying. But the alumni looked at it from some other and incomprehensible angle. They evidently felt that retribution—as well as the dollar or two mentioned in the bill—was due at the Magazine office. They wrote their answering communications in verse Date lines, salutations, and superscriptions were done up in rhyme and hurled at the officer. Street addresses came wriggling out of their envelopes in dactyls and anapests. Check drawn on an ample fund of vergeance were thrust at the unhappy editor in reitalary iambia. It looked like death by metriction. And finally, to fill the measure of grief, some of the alumni pretended to be pleased with the verse on their bills that they framed them in stead of paying them."
Frank Ward, a sophomore in the College, has received the permanent appointment for the pulpit in the Christian church at Midison. He will spend only every other Sunday and Monday in Madison. He will spend only evaded to continue his work at the University.

MILLER'S MEMORY GONE.
Michigan Quarterback Cannot Recall College Life.
Spokane, Wash., March 28. James Joy Miller, the famous Michigan quarterback, who was found employed on the Blalock fruit ranch near Walla Walla Wash., southwest of Spokane failed to recall his college days when shown pictures and scene of life at Ann Arbor by Wil Coleman, a college acquaintance now a resident of Walla Walla.
Coleman made a trip to Blake ranch lock, taking with him a college scrap book, which he showed to Miller and in which the latter displayed eager interest, particularly in pictures of members of the football squad. When shown pictures of Coach Yost, Trainer Fitzpatrick and "Germany" Schultz, he said; "I've seen those men," but was unable to tell where he had seen them.
Asked by Coleman regarding his parents, he replied that he did not know he had any until apprized of the fact by E. L. Brunton, postmaster of Walla Walla, who assisted in locating him. As he talked tears often came into his eyes, while mention of his gray hair caused him to remark that he often suffered from headaches.
A LECTURE ON ART
Professor Tonks of Princeton Will Speak Tuesday.
The University, which has been favored with excellent lectures on literature, science, history, philosophy, and religion, is next to have an art lecture. It will be given next Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 in University hall by Professor Tonks of Princeton University. The subject will be "The Growth of Naturalism in Italian Painting." The lecture will be illustrated by the stereopticon. All are invited.
Professor Tonks is one of the lecturers of the American Institute of Archaeology and Art and is thoroughly trained for his work by study and travel.

An advisory board consisting of Miss Bauer Miss Winston, and Prof. James Naismith was also elected.
TO HAVE CLUB ABROAD
American University Men to Have Club House in London.
An international movement for the organization of a club which is primarily designed as a home for university men while abroad has been started. This new club will be a common meting place for American University men visiting England, as well as headquarters for the organizers and participants in international contests.
The first tournament will probably be held May 1.
The club will have a lawn and house-boat at Henley, a yacht chartered for Cowes week, coaches, and luncheon at "The Derby," Aseot, Goodwood and elsewhere Special privileges will be secured for members in the world of business, sport and travel and to those completing their education abroad.
Membership is open to graduates and underclassmen of any university or college, civil and military, of recognized standing in America. The committee reserves the right of refusing the right of refusing or removing any name which in their sole opinion is deemed ineligible.
Applications for membership may be made direct to the secretary in London. The annual nonresident dues have been fixed at ten dollars. The forms of applications contain a request for a continuance of membership for at least five years.
Through the hospitality of the new Oxford and Cambridge club, one of the finest club buildings in London has been secured. The club house immediately adjoins St. James palace and Marlborough House. Situated in the heart of "club-land," it faces St James street, Pieceadilly, in the fashionable hotel and theater district. The club opens March 31 1910.
A Minnesota man, N. K. Chaney, is on the committee of Rhodes' Oxford scholars, who are promoting the organization.

"The City Chap," a Musical Comedy, to Be Presented.
Lafayette, Ind.—"The City Chap," George Ade's play, written expressly for the Harlequin club of Purdue University, which will be presented during the last week of March, is being rehearsed daily by the students in Lafayette under the direction of George Herbert.
All of the books, music and lyrics are now here, and the final selection of the east has been made An understudy for each speaking part will be a feature of this year's play, the absence of several al of the east in previous plays necessitating this action.
The play is a breezy musical comedy in Mr. Ade's best vein. The music is by Benjamin Hapgood Burt of New York. All of the handsome "girls" who compose the chorus have been measured for their shoes, rats and other feminine attire. The chorus is expected to make a big hit this year, as in the previous productions it has gathered in the large end of the applause.-Indianapolis Star.

HE WAS "DIFFERENT."
A Topeka Man Ran Counter to Lawrence Ways.
}
Lawrence has the reputation of being the faddest town in the state, largely due, perhaps, to the influence of the university students, says the society editor of the Topeka Capital. They are simply sizzling with fads and everybody in the town, who is anybody, walks and talks and looks just like everybody else—who is anybody. The girls all adopt the same coiffure, and the slightest deviation is absolutely unallowed—that is, if the owner of the hair wishes to meet with approval. If one girl, who is a sorority girl and a "good dresser," wears a Persian belt, every girl on the Hill has a Persian belt within three days. At Lawrence the fads come rolling in like the waves on the beach, quite as irresistibly, and quite as regularly, and each wave submerges everybody in the whole town—that is, everybody who is anybody. For example: A Topeka chap went down to Lawrence to see one of the younger girls at the University. He was not quite similar enough to met with the approval of the dapper young miss, whom he visited, and she confided to one of her friends that he was "impossible." "You know," she said, "that nobody here orders anything but a nut sundae, and he took me into Wiedemann's and ordered p—lain ice cream. Think of it!"

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME VI.
OPEN CAMPAIGN AGAINST RUGBY
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL 5, 1910
ATHLETIC ELECTION BE COMES MASS MEETING.
Five Hundred Students in Chapel Resolve Against the Abolition of American Football.
The enthusiasm for football started when Ralph Spotts offered a resolution, after speaking upon the present status of the question at the University. Mr. Spotts's talk was brief and to the point and it was evident at once that the resolution voiced the sentiments of his hearers.
A protest on the part of the student body against the movement to adopt Rugby football came yesterday when 500 of the most loyal supporters of the present game gathered in chapel. The meeting was called for the purpose of holding the annual election of the Athletic Association but a motion postponed the election until today.
And then came other motions and speeches and resolutions and after an hour had passed the most pronounced stand of the year against the adoption of the English game had been taken.
Whereens, the Rules Committee is doing all in its power to revise the rules of American football to meet the present objections to the game, therefore.
It reads as follows:
"Be it Resolved, That the Athletic Association of the University of Kansas favors the retention of the American game as revised by the Rules Committee.
"And further be it resolved That we oppose the adoption of English Rugby."
Following the presentation of the resolution, Harvey Starbuck of the School of Law spoke in defense of it. He was followed by Carrol Lord, also of theSchool of Law, who declared that the students should not humble themselves before the Board of Regents and allow the game of football to be abolished by that body without making a strenuous fight for its retention. George Neal, secretary of the Student Council, also spoke in favor of the resolution and its adoption followed by a unanimous vote.
"Whereas, the Football Rules Committee has not yet drawn up the rules under which the game will be played in 1910, and.
"Whereas, the meeting of the delegates from the Missouri Valley schools has been called for a date preceding the meeting of the Rules Committee for the purpose of revising the present rules, therefore.
Another resolution followed the first. It was introduced by Edgar Markham, and read as follows:
"Be it Resolved, That the Athletic Association of the University of Kansas hereby requests Chancellor Strong to postpone the meeting of the Missouri Valley Conference until after the Rules Committee shall have made its report, in order that the Conference may act with full knowledge of the changes made by the rules Committee."
The resolution was passed by another unanimous vote and a committee consisting of Edgar Markham, William Caldwell,and Harold Harlan, was appointed to carry the resolution to Chancellor Strong, after which the adjournment of the meeting followed.
The campaign of the students of the University against the abolition of American football was started early yesterday morning when posters asking every loyal rooter to meet in chapel at noon made their appearance. At the same time twenty-five or more petitions were circulated in the different buildings on the campus. Each of the petitions was carried by a supporter of the present game and every student he met was asked to sign..
The petition read as follows:
By 4:00 o'clock this afternoon 900 signatures had been received. The petitions will be presented to the Board of Regents at the next meeting, April 18.
"We, the undersigned students, are radically opposed to the substitution of English Rugby for American football at the University of Kansas and petition the Board of Regents for the retention of American football as revised by the Rules Committee."
On account of the absence from the city of Chancellor Strong, the resolution asking for the post ponement of the Missouri Valley conference, could not be presented. It will be carried to him upon his return tomorrow.
TO ENTER EASTERN MEET.
Haddock, Roberts and French to Philadelphia.
Manager Lansdon expects to send three men to Philadelphia Pa., April 29, to enter the University of Pennsylvania Relay Carnival, which will take place on that day. If the athletic board consents Manager Lansdon will send Haddock and Roberts to run the 100 yard dashes and Frenel to enter the high jump.
The University of Pennsylvania gives this carnival every year and all the largest schools in the country are represented. One thousand men are entered for this year's races. The meet is for relay races principally, but will also include the dashes and the high jump this year.
Sophomores Have Deficit of $47 to Meet.
GIRLS TO PAY PROM DUES
On account of the extra expense attendant to the giving of the farce in connection with the sophomore prom this year, it was decided at a meeting of the class today, to levy the same assessment upon the sophomore girls as upon the boys.
The class treasurer reported a deficit of $47, caused by the poor attendance at the parties the class has given. The proceeds of the prom are expected to help cover this amount.
THE "FOOTBALL TICKET" WON
EVERY CANDIDATE ON THAT TICKET ELECTED.
Haddock, Harlan, Johnson, and Lynch, New Board Members Results in Detail.
The election of the Athletic Association, held in Fraser hall today, resulted in the electing of all of the candidates on the "Foot ball Ticket." Besides Dean James Woods Green, who was the only candidate for President, those elected are: Vice-president, Tom Stephenson; secretary Prof. H. A. Rice; and Board Members, Haddock, Harlan Johnson and Lynch.
The election today was the biggest for several years. A total of 912 votes were cast. The interest on the part of the students was general and started when the polls opened at 9:00 o'clock, and continued until they were closed at 3:30. At times as many as fifty students stood in line waiting their turns to cast a vote.
The two tickets in the field did not raise much of an issue. One was designated as The Football ticket, yet the majority of candidates on both publicly announced themselves in favor of retaining the present game. Probably more than half of the ballots were scratched. This was probably caused simply by the voter's own personal friendship or because of the personalities of the different candidates.
Following are the results of votes cast:
Football Ticket.
Vice Pres., Tom Stephenson...
Secretary, Prof. H.A. Rice...
Fred Haddock... "Hal" Harlan...
"Tommy" Johnson...
"Mike" Lynch.
Representative Ticket.
BOARD MEMBERS
Vice President, Ralph Spotts.
Secretary, Prof. E. W Murray.
BOARD MEMBERS
because they were the candidates on both tickets and of no other opposition the chairmen or the different committees were all elected, although the vote for them was very low except on straight tickets.

NUMBER 75
Professor Rice Cannot Serve.
In spite of the fact that Prof. II. A. Rice was chosen secretary by a large majority today, he will be unable to serve because of provision in the constitution of the Athletic association.
it happens that a clause in that constitution reads in substance that the secretary of the Athletic Board shall be secretary of the Athletic Association. The office of secretary of the former organization is filled by the appointment of Chancellor Strong. Its tenure is indefinite. Prof. E. W. Murray is secretary of the Athletic Board by the appointment of the Chancellor and therefor, will continue as secretary of the Athletic Association, until such time as the Chancellor shall appoint his successor.
THE WEATHER.
Fair tonight and Wednesday: colder tonight with frost.
LAWS TO AID CAMPAIGN.
Meeting Favoring American Football Tomorrow.
A meeting of the students of the School of Law will be held tomorrow morning at chapel time for the purpose of promoting the cause of football.
Four committees will be appointed. One will raise funds with which to carry on a campaign. A second will write to alumni over the state to get them to express their views on football to the University authorities. A third will communicate with the alumni at Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City, Kan., with view to getting a football demonstration at the annual dinner of University alumni in Kansas City Satur day night.
WE'LL NEVER KNOW.
Every school in the University will be asked to appoint a member to each of the four committees.
Freshmen and Sophomores Leave Great Question Unsettled.
WALKED TO BALDWIN.
The freshmen and sophomores who were going to debate on "Resolved that the present political situation in the United States demands the forming of a new political party," have decided not to hold the debate. The freshmen claim that it is too late in the year to prepare for the debate.
Four Students Made Distance in 4 Hours, 28 Minutes.
Profesor Tonks Lectured.
Professor Tonks Lectured.
Professor Tonks gave an art lecture this afternoon at 4:30 in the chapel on "The Growth of Naturalism in Italian Painting."
Honor System Won't Work.
Letha Hurst, Caroline Ishmael Val Adams and Walter Leclerc walked to Baldwin Saturday morning. The distance was covered in four hours and twenty-eight minutes. The first eight miles were made in two hours and thirteen minutes. The party returned to Lawrence on the evening train.
The honor system, in use in the University of Mississippi, is not working well in the opinion of the upper classman of that institution. Lack of ideals among the students is given by some as the cause. Others lay the blame at the door of the faculty for slipphod management.
INTER-CLASS MEET APRIL 23
SEVENTY-FIVE MEN PRAC TICING FOR THE EVENT.
Winning Class Gets Loving Cup
—Men Who Break University Records to Be Awarded "Ks"
The annual spring inter-class track and field meet will take place on MeCook field on Saturday, afternoon, April 23. The meet is open to all men who have uɑŋ uɑŋ paɪdənoo ṣpəqaq outer-class meets. The entries will be made according to classes and the winning class will be given a silver loving cup. Besides, all point winners will be given souvenir bronze medals and all men who break university records will be awarded a "K" and will be given an individual silver loving cup.
Seventy-five athletes have already signified their intention of entering the meet and the majority of them are now practicing daily upon McCook field. Many others are expected to enter before the time of the meet, but the following are some of the most likely candidates at this time.
Seniors—Badger, Cooley, Had dock, Johnson, Martindell, Stryker, Winters, V. Smith, Stephenson, Neal.

Coach Hamilton is firmly convinced that the holding of trac meets between classes is the best way to build up a victorious 'Varsity team. The plan is being used in a number of the largest universities of the country and it fast gaining popularity.
"This year's outlook is for a successful meet," said Coach Hamilton this morning. "All of the most enthusiastic track mer have been working hard for some time. There is no reason why this inter-class meet should not in a short time be one of our most popular track events."
A Party to Begin at 6 O'Clock.
A unique feature of the Chi Omega spring party which will be held April 15, is that the guests are invited for o'clock. The hostesses have adopted a plan advocated by the Women's Student Government association in order to close spring parties at an earlier hour than has been done in the past. Invitations to the party were issued Saturday it will be held in Fraternal Hall.

REACHING THE REGENTS
The meeting of the athletic association yesterday showed signs that the student body has thrown off the apathy which has possessed it on the subject of football. A hurried rush was made for the stable in the hope that it was not too late to slam the door and keep the horse from being stolen.
If the same interest in retaining the American game had been shown a month earlier, there would now be little danger to the game. Perhaps there is time even now for the sentiments of the student body to affect the action of the Regents.
It is well to remember, however, that the Regents are away from the University, that they have not the student point of view exclusively, and that they are likely to be affected but little by student excitement. The meeting yesterday had the effect of uniting the students in a determined effort to save football but it is doubtful if a meeting of Regents will be much swayed by it.
The brief which the student committee will present to the Regents along with the petition to retain the game is more likely to influence that body.
From Kansas City comes word that "football will not be abolished at the University of Kansas if the Kansas City alumni can prevent it." At the annual dinner there Saturday evening a resolution will probably be adopted declaring for the retention of the American game. The Kansas City alumni are coming with aid at a most opportune time. It is important that the Regents be made to know that the demand for football is not confined to the present enrollment of the University.
Regent William Allen White, who is known to some of his editorial associates over the state as "Hell-Roaring Bill," says that he is the original football insurgent—the first man to agitate for
the reform of the game at the University. Mike Lynch, referred to on the election posters as "Terrible Mike," is running for the athletic association on the platform of retaining football at the University in its present form. The University seismograph will have work to do when "Hell-Roaring Bill" and "Terrible Mike" clash on the football question.
Up to the hour of going to press, the "prominent fraternity man" mentioned in a down-town paper who advocated the use of the paddle and other instruments of torture known in fraternity houses as a means of bringing up fraternity scholarship, had not been offered a position in the new School of Education.
Kochman, the scientist, has recently shown by experiments on rabbits that alcohol given in moderate amounts prolongs life. Perhaps here is the explanation of the remarkable tenacity of life shown by a University organization, which had to be killed twice before it would stay dead.
BEAUTIFY WEST CAMPUS.
Idea of Member of University Faculty.
Editor Kansan:
One way to beautify the west campus would be to put in a basin and fountain between the Chemistry building and Fowler shops. This could be utilized as a reservoir to contain rain water from the roofs of these buildings. A supply of soft water is very essential to make distilled water, which is now prepared for all departments of the University in a large still and condenser in the attic of the Chemistry and Pharmacy building. The present arrangement, in which hard water is used, is very unsatisfactory, as the water is often of poor quality and the pipes of the condenser frequently become incurable.
I also suggest that by means of a small motor the water could be kept in circulation and jets thrown toward the center from a circular pipe running around the basin. This should be protected by a railing, and ornamental shrubs planted near the margin. Here is an opportunity to combine beauty and utility that we cannot afford to neglect.

"WIPED OFF OF ATHLETIC MAP"
RESULT TO KANSAS FROM ADOPTION OF RUGBY.
Kansas City Star Writer Says Other Missouri Valley Schools Won't Take English Game.
Kansas City Star.
Graduates and former students of the University of Kansas who have been in Lawrence in the last week bring to Kansas City news that the proposed plan to abolish American football and to borrow the English game of Rugby is no mere scare. Unless the alumni of the university immediately bring pressure to bear upon the regents, they say, Kansas will be wiped off the athletic map.
There is no doubt that the adoption of Rugby would mean the death of K. U. as far as interscholastic athletics is concerned Its football team is the best ad vertisemenut the Jayhawkers have. Not only that, the receipts from football are so large that they make possible the less popular sports. The football receipts furnish better training facilities, better coaches, more complete outfits and make possible better schedules than would be possible were the athletic treasury not fattended each fall.
Kansas will be alone in the Missouri Valley if it adopts Rugby. Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Iowa and the other schools in the same class as Kansas will not try to adapt themselves to the English game. Kansas is a strong rival, and football games with Kansas are to be desired, but these schools can get along without Kansas much better than Kansas can get along without them.
If Kansas does take on the English game it will be a great deal to the advantage of Missouri. However deplorable the fact may be, a winning football team is a much better drawing card than a strong Greek faculty Universities in the Missouri Valley are not yet independent enough to ignore advertising of the good kind.
The K. U. athletes always have been well trained. In no game has a man ever been worked to the danger point. No undertrained men are permitted to takl part in football. Physical examination reduce the danger from football to a minimum.
Football is a rugged American game—of a kind that every American wishes he could play. No sport can prosper in American colleges unless there is competition among colleges. If Kansas abolishes American football and adopts the English importation it will mean that all the athletics at K. U. in the fall will consist of Rugby games between class teams—and every college man knows how insipid is the enhlusiasm at inter-class contests.

The order has aroused considerable discussion, the students regarding it as a slur upon their personal habits, though the order says it is intended to teach cleanliness in the classes.
Fraternity Honor System.
The fraternities at the University of Nebraska have adopted an honor system to be governed by the board of honor selected from their own number. The movement is to prevent cribbing on examinations forging of reports and infringements of other university laws.

HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL
DONORS ACCEPT WORK OF ENAMEL FELLOWSHIPS.
Archie Weith and Frank Brock Have Discovered Enameling Process—To Be Used in East.
Archie J. Weith and Frank P. Brock, who hold the enamel fellowship, have discovered a process for using enamel on steel tanks that has been accepted by the eastern donor of the fellowship as more economical and more durable than the present method now in use.
The process, which has not been made public, was worked out on a small scale in the laboratories of the Chemistry building and since has been applied to steel tanks fifteen feet in diameter and seventy feet high, proving entirely satisfactory.
Prof. R. K. Dunean returned Saturday from New York where he had been called to consult the manufacturers. He found them eated over the success of the new system.
Both Mr. Weith and Mr. Brock will return to Lawrence in about two weeks and will continue their investigations here until June, when they will again go East to take permanent situations with the company with which their donors are connected.
FAVORS RUGBY FOOTBALL
Dean Templin Will Close Office for Games.
Rugby football has one champion at the University of Kansas in the person of Dean Templin, who is an ardent lover of the game.
In discussing the question of the probability of Rugby supplanting the college game next fall, Dean Templin said, "If Rugby is played here next fall, my office will always be closed, or I will be at the game.
"In the ordinary game the spectators sit around shivering and perhaps once during the game a man will get away and make a long run and people will discuss it for years afterward. Now, in the Rugby game a man is breaking away for a long run every minute and the game is full of thrills. From a spectator's point of view it is much the better game."
ATTENDED CONFERENCE
Dean Templin Met Heads of Other Colleges.
Dean Olin Templin attended the annual national conference of college deans at the University of Lilinois, last week. Dean Templin has been president of this organization for the past two years and was re-elected at the last meeting.
From the conference Dean Templin went to Chicago where he visited at the University of Chicago, and later at the University of Michigan. At both of these institutions he studied conditions as compared with the University of Kansas and investigated the arrangement and equipment of their psychological laboratories with a view of obtaining suggestions for the equipment of the new Administration building.

BIG EXTENSION MOVEMENT
Massachusetts College Will Have Thirty Centers.
A bill was recently passed by the Massachusetts legislature and signed by Governor Draper, which provides for what is known as the Massachusetts college. The act incorporates seven men as the trustees of the college. The main idea is to provide young men and women with college education so near their home that they need not be prevented from obtaining an education on account of distance.
The plans contemplate about thirty educational centers in various parts of the state and located in the larger towns. As this is planned at present it will place 90 per cent of the people within eight mile sof one of these centers and the fare will in no case exceed five cents. The facilities for such education are expected to be granted by the municipalities in which these institutions are located and it is intended that the public school buildings shall be used for this purpose when not needed for the use of the lower schools. The municipalities will grant degrees for the work done, these degrees to be the A.B. and M. A. the specific requirements which shall be adopted to safeguard the value of these degrees, to be determined by a board chosen from the college presidents of the state and approved by the state board of educatio. This act can become operative only when $500,000 shall have been given to this work by responsible riverers.
The estimated cost of a year's tuition will be about $34 per year.

WHAT IS THIS GAME OF RUGBY?
QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED BY MANY STUDENTS.
Coach Kennedy Tells Few of Most Important Differences From American Game.
"What is this game of Rugby anyway?" is the question that has been asked by a number of students at the University during the past few days. The question was put to Coach Kennedy this morning, and, although he does not claim to be a living exponent of the English sport, he willingly made notes of a few things he has gleaned from the Rugby rule book, which he has been carrying in his hip pocket during the past month.
"To my mind there are six important differences between Rugby and the present American game of football," said the coach.
"First, Rugby requires fifteen men on a side.
"Second, Rugby does not permit interference.
Third, Rugby rules declare that once the ball is 'down' it must be put in play again in such manner that both sides have an equal chance at possession on the ball, the object here being to abolish the necessity of 'hanging on to the ball' under the Ameri can system.
Fourth, effort is mainly directed towards developing a machine so that the man with the ball is followed, rather than preceded by his teammates.
" Fifth, Rugby does not permit the use of the forward pass.
"Sixth, the thing for the man carrying the ball to do when tackled, is to pass it back to a teammate.
"Other important innovation would be the practical elimination of the 'heavy man' from the game. Speed becomes a primary requisite under Rugby rules. Kicking also becomes an essential for every man on the team. A player must be able to kick wi either foot and do it on the run too."
MISSOURI CHOOSES COACH
Hollenbach From Pennsylvania
Next Mentor.
After many months of effort Missouri has at last selected the football coach for next year. An other Eastern man has been chosen, this time it is Hollenbach from Pennsylvania. He has been coach of the University of Pennsylvania and before that was a member of the team of that school.
The Missouri papers have become very enthusiastic over the new coach and are predicting great things that their team will do in the Missouri valley next fall.
Miss Zaza Weathers, a sophomore in the College, is back in school this week after having been confined to her home at Hutchinson, for the past two weeks, on account of sickness.
H. C. Waters, a former editor of The Kansas, and now a reporter on the Kansas City Star, spent Sunday visiting friends in Lawrence.

ABOUT "THE REDCOAT."
Love, Tragedy and Comedy Under Yorktown's Guns.
The period in history upon which the romantic drama, "The Redecoat," is based is one of the most fascinating that could be imagined. At the time of the surrender of Yorktown Washington was a comparatively young man. His generals and staff officers were boys of 22 and 23 years. Their love affairs and gallant conduct in defending their country combined with the picturesque dress of the century and the spirit of liberty which was the life of the time, all tend to make "The Redecoat" one of the most interesting of plays.
Those who have been privileged to attend the rehearsals declare that it is also brimful of good comedy of the cleanest kind and the comedy follows close on the heels of tragedy in this play which tells the story of the beautiful niece of a famous Whig who fell in love with a Redecoat.
"The Redecoat" will be produced at the Bowersock opera house on the night of April 13 and 14, under the auspices of the
"The Redecoat" will be produced at the Bowersock opera house on the night of April 13 and 14, under the auspices of the Daughters of the Revolution.

THE FIRST BASEBALL GAME WITH HASKELL.
Ebright's Men Will Meet Indians on the Latter's Ground— The Line-Up.
+
At 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon the 'Varsity baseball season will open on Haskell field. If reports are to be believed the Haskelites have a great team this season and Ebright's men are ir for a warm session.
Just at present the 'Varsity is a rather doubtful quantity and the performances of the players are far from consistent. One day they play great baseball and the next they show little class.
The players have been fielding well and show some good inside baseball. All that is necessary now is a thorough tryout of pitchers and more batting practice. After the Haskell games the fans should be able to get a good line on the real ability of the men. The teams will line up tomorrow as follows:
The team is not hitting very well as yet, and the pitchers' abilities are not well established These things will determine whether the team is a real one or not when there is time for it to work out, and it is the hope of the coach that the pre-season games will serve as a proper training.

Dates for Debates.
Working on Costumes.
The dates for the Oklahoma and Missouri debates have been definitively decided. The Oklahoma debate will be April 29, at Norman Ok. The one with Missouri will take place at Lawrence April 30, instead of May 13, as previously announced.
A Benefit for Y. W. C. A.

APPOINTED COMMITTEES.
Members to Aid in Campaign for Football.
The action of the Student Council Tuesday night was largely concerned with means for furthering the investigation of the football question. Four committees were appointed from each school to assist in working up student sentiment. In the School of medicine the committees appointed were: Publicity—Mills and Beard; Funds—Maple and Owens; K. C. Alumni—Finney and Booth; Alumni—Baumgartner and Doty.
The appointing of committees was postponed for the engineers and the College until the mass meeting in chapel tomorrow. The Council took no action on committees which have been previously appointed.
The committee which will investigate the alumni sentiment on football was authorized to collect money from the students for defraying the expense of sending out letters. A letter was also sent to the president of the athletic board suggesting an amendment to the constitution abolishing the chairmanships of various athletic avents and that nominee for the athletic board should receive their places by petition instead of by caucus and election by the Australian ballot system. This is intended to put all student elections on the same basis and avoid politics.
NUMBER 76
WILL BE SECRETARY.
Prof. E. W. Murray to Continue in Office.
Despite the choice of Prof. H.
A. Rice for secretary of the Athletic Association at the election of that body last Tuesday, Prof.
E. W. Murray will continue to act in the capacity of that office.
A constitutional provision makes the secretary of the Athletic Board, secretary ex-officio of the Athletic Association. Professor Murray was appointed to his pres ent office by Chancellor Strong and no change will be made at this time according to a statement made by the Chancellor this morning.
Engineers to Aid.
The engineers held a meeting at chapel time this morning and elected Caldwell and Pleasant a committee on committees which shall represent the School of Engineering in the mass meeting tomorrow and any other action that may be taken.
Medical Society Met.
"I am well satisfied with the present board," said Dr. Strong, this morning, "and I see no reason why there should be a change. As long as the officers are as efficient as they are at this time, I would not consider it a wise move to make any new appointments."
The Medical society met last night and was addressed by Prof. L. E. Sayre upon "The Origin of Medical Frauds." The other speakers and subjects were, Prof. E. H. S. Bailey on "Analysis cf Drinking Waters," and Frank Maple on "John Harvey."
HOLD ANOTHER MASS MEETING
CLASSES DISMISSED FOR TOMORROW'S GATHERING.
Steps Will Be Taken to Conduct Active Campaign for Retention of Football.
Chancellor Strong announced this afternoon that he would suspend classes at the University tomorrow morning after chapel time until noon for the purpose of allowing the students to hold mass meeting to discuss the foot-situation.
The mass meeting was called by the Student Council. Steps will be taken to conduct an active campaign for the retention of football in the short time that remains before the governing boards of the various universities meet in Kansas City April 19. Committees will be appointed to handle the different phases of the work and plans will be made to bring all of the work which is now being done under a central head.
It is also planned to appoint delegates, who shall visit every Regent of the University and place before him the sentiments of the students with regard to football and arguments favoring its retention at the University.
Committees will be appointed to draft arguments on the question and to enlist the aid of the alumni in the football fight.

TENNIS MEN BUSY.
Varsity Squad to Be Organized Next Week.
The tennis players of the University have, during the past several weeks, been working out in regular practice in anticipation of the organization of the squad this month. A date for a try-out for the varsity team has been set for next week and at that time the team, which will meet Baker in the first scheduled game or April 30, will be picked.
The outlook this spring is for the usual fast team. The majority of the stars of last year are in school and will be eligible to play this season. Among the most prominent are Captain Watson, Bigdow, Wood, Leland, Lee Marshall, Motz, Purton, Richardson, Lobaugh, and Seddon. Others are expected to enter during the coming week, however, and at the end of that time the try out tournament will be arranged.
The schedule has as yet not been completed. Negotiations are being made by Manager Biglow for matches with a number of different schools, including Nebraska Missouri, St. Mary, Oklahoma, and K. S. A. C.
Changes Committees.
Many Petitions for Tennis Courts
President Le Moine of the sophomore class has made some changes in his prom committee Everett Brummage has been appointed chairman of the refreshment committee to take the place of Rob Roberts, and Miss Ethel Williford and Miss Nina Pilkenton were added to the program committee.

CAST FOR PROM ANNOUNCED
SOPHOMORES PLAN FOR BIG EVENT.
Farce Is Innovation, Written b. Class Member—Dates Coming in Slowly.
The different parts of the cast of "Miss Independence," the sophomore farce, were assigned last night at a rehearsal in Miss Gertrude Mossler's studio. The play was read by George Bowles the writer, and the sophomore were then assigned their lines. The first rehearsal of parts will take place this evening at 7:15.
The introduction of a farce in the sophomore prom this year is an innovation. It is the first time that such a thing has been at tempted, and it is in an effort no to be outdone by the juniors i any way that the second-year students have planned an elaborate event for May 13. The fare has a local setting and includes a number of local hits that are said to make it a clever little production. A number of original son hits will also be introduced and a mixed chorus will do the singing and dancing stunts.
The music for the dancing a the prom will be furnished b Kelly's orchestra and elaborat plans for decoration and refreshments will be carried out. The majority of the eligible students have, as yet, been slow in announcing their dates and the invitation committee is urging all who expect to attend to get out of the tardy list. A time limi has been set for April 20, and after that time no dates will be received.

KEEP THE ISSUE STRAIGHT
One faction of University politicians adopted the football slogan at Tuesday's Athletic Board election and by so doing clouded the football issue while helping their men into office. The student body seemed not to take cognizance of the fact that not one of the men elected on the so-called "football ticket" will by virtue of his position ever have a chance to vote on the question of what kind of football the University is to play.
The placing of Professor Rice's name on the ticket at a late hour in order to accentuate the pretended "football" significance of the ticket raises an interesting question. Did the backers of the ticket know when they placed Parofessor Rice's name on the ticket that the personnel of the Athletic Board would not be affected thereby? Did they use Professor Rice's name merely as a convenient stepping-stone into office? If they did not know, then that is a significant commentary on the ability of student managers to handle student affairs and be sure of what they are doing.
But perhaps the worst effect of this dragging in of factional University politics into the football situation was the impression it gave to outsiders. The morning papers printed the news that the "American Football" ticket had won after a hard fight. They conveyed the idea that there was actually an organized party among the students fighting for Rugby. As a matter of fact the students are united for American football. Rugby could not muster a corporal's guard in the whole University.
The fact remains that Tuesday's election did not affect the football situation. The question has to be fought out, elsewhere than in factional elections. The students should not lose sight of the true condition. If American
tootball is to be retained at the University it will be because the best possible case for football has been made before the Board of Regents.
Doting Washburn football fans have named next year's football team at that school the "blue cyclone," which will doubtless prove to be a dainty morsel for "terrible Mike."

"LUMBER JACKS' SKY PILOT"
Man, Famous for His Religious Work Among Lumbermen, to Speak in Chapel.
TITLE GIVEN TO REV FRANK E. HIGGINS.
Rev. Frank E. Higgins, who is to make the chapel address tomorrow is the subject of an interesting little volume by Norman Duncan entitled "Higgins—A Man's Christian," Mr. Higgins is a Presbyterian, who regularly ministers, without a church, acting under the Board of Home Missions, to the lumber jacks of the remoter Minnesota woods. A more extended description of Mr. Higgins' work, called "The Lumber-Jack's Sky Pilot," has been written by Rev. Thos. D. Whittles.
One writer has said of him: "To confuse Higgins with cranks and freaks would be most injuriously to wrong him. He is not an eccentric; his hair is cropped; his finger nails are clean; there is a commanding achievement he bind him; he has manners—a man variously interested, as the polite world demands, nor is he a fanatie; he would spit cant from his mouth in, disgust if ever it chanced within. It is a reasonable and highly efficient worker—a man dealing with active problems in an intelligent and thoroughly practical way; and he is as self-respecting and respected in his peculiar field as any palpit parson in the cities—and as sane as an engineer."
He has no church; he straps a pack on his back and tramps the logging roads from camp to camp, whatever the weather—12 miles in a blizzard at 40 below—and preaches every day—and twice and three times a day—in the bunk houses; and he buries the boys—and marries them to the kind of women they know—and seolds and beseches and threshes them, and banks for them."
The subject of Rev. Higgins chapel address has not been announced, but no doubt the students of the University will be interested in hearing this Irish-Canadian from the woods of Minnesota.
A Student Complains of Marking of English Papers.
CALLS CRITICISM UNJUST.
Through this column I hope to bring before the instructors a matter which is not only very annoying to the students but to many very unjust. Many of the papers are looked over, and in some cases actually graded, by critics hired to do this work. A greater part of the students in the English department are complaining about the injustice done them by the critics. Many of the comments are the results of mere personal whims of the critics and as such they can be of no benefit to the student. Then, too, there is the element of fault-finding and not the tone of genuine corrective criticism. These critics are causing hard feelings and in some cases are causing the students to become discouraged. Something ought to be done by someone to correct this fault. What shall it be?

COLLEGE ENGLISH BAD.
Boys Brought Up on Bad Eng lish, Says Missouri Writer.
"The Teaching of English," is the subject of a communication to the New York Evening Post from R. D. Miller of Columbia Mo. "The once very general belief that 'anybody can teach English' has, in recent years, given place to the belief that nobody can teach English, and this, in its turn, is now yielding to the belief that anybody can teach the proper method of teaching English."
Mr. Miller pays his respects to the amount of English that College students know. "College English is bad, incredibly, intolerably bad," he says. "Why? There is an unbroken circle of causation of which the lay citizen seems wholly or partly ignorant. Bad English is bred in the bone of the average American boy. He hears bad English at home and at school; he reads it in the newspapers and the cheaper magazines. He studies grammar at an age when he should be taught elementary composition, and composition and literature alone when he should also be taught grammar. In the high school his teacher is always overworked and frequently half-trained. When he enters college his education in English has reached the half sophisticated stage of 'Give it to John and L.' His interests are incredibly narrow; his ignorance, apart from football, is impartial and catholic. The 'unsolved problem' that confronts the college instructor is a heterogeneous class of thirty such boys, the unchallenged product of 'affiliated' schools. He does what he can with them in one short year, 'fails,' as many as college tradition will permit and passes the rest on to graduation, and, if they teach, to perpetuate in the high schools the conditions which he is powerless to change."
Politics and Ship Subsidy.
Politics at the University have become as intricate and complicated as those of the nation. This fact was shown Tuesday when a deep-thinking voter approached Emile Grignard, candidate for the chairmanship of the rowing committee, and said, "Emile, before I cast my vote for you I would like to know how you stand on the ship subsidy question."
"I'm against Rugby," answered Emile, and the vote was cast in his favor.
The Alpha Taus will give an in formal party at their chapter house, Saturday evening.

TO GIVE BIG JUNIOR PROM
ARRANGEMENTS ARE FAST NEARING COMPLETION.
Farce to Be Given on Main Gym Floor—Other Features—Dates Coming in Slow.
A
A Junior prom that's different Such are the plans of the prom committee and on April 29 if all of those plans are carried out the annual junior party promises to be the most novel and most original for several years.
For several months the managers and the members of the different committees have been working faithfully upon the different features of the event. Every phase has been completely covered and in no case is there to be a duplication of past proms. The plans thus far have been kept a secret and even yet there are many features that will not be announced until the prom is given and the secret is made a public one. A number of the arrangements, however, were given out this morning by Manager Pettit.
V
One of the best will be that of arranging the farce. In the past the stage for the play has been erected on the main dancing floor. The result has been that almost one third of the dancing space has been lost and the floor badly crowded. This spring the farce will be given on the main gymnasium floor. The stage will be erected in the center of the room and the audience will be seated in the east section.
The farce which will last an hour and a quarter, is said to be filled with juicy bits of University gossip, that will make a play which exceeds anything yet given.
After the farce the dancing will start on the upper floor. There again a new plan will be adopted. The orchestra will be stationed on a low platform in the middle of the floor. Consequently practically no room will be lost to the dancers and the 300 couples will not be hampered for room.
Dates for the prom have up to this time been very slow in being handed in to the invitation committee. There is less than a week left in which to hand in dates and unless many of the juniors and seniors get busy they will be forgotten when the invitations are issued.
Research Work Successful.
Prof. L. E. Sayre, Dean of the School of Pharmacy, has recently been doing research work upon Gilsimium, an herb used in medicine to reduce the heart action and has succeeded in extracting the extract or principle from the root.
1
Gilsumium is grown in the southern part of the United States and is similar to the jasmine. It belongs, however, to a different species and the root of this flower has been used in medicine for over fifty years.
Inspect Drug Houses.
The association of wholesale drug houses in Kansas City has given its annual invitation to the School of Pharmacy, faculty and students, to inspect the wholesale drug houses in Kansas City on April 22. It is expected that almost a hundred students will spend the day inspecting the wholesale houses.
EMIL OBERHOFFER, GREAT ORCHESTRA CONDUCTOR.
S. M. A.
Emil Oberhoffer, conductor of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, which appears here on April 22, is considered one of the six great conductors of the world. Such artists as Paderewski, Sembrich and Carreno assign him this rank. The training for his work has been very arduous and the opportunities few. Mr. Oberhoffer is a magnetic personality, who interests the audience as much as his orchestra.
STREET CARS IN A WEEK.
Work Hindered by Increment Weather.
If it were not for the rain the first of the week it would not be more than a day or two longer until street cars would be able to reach the top of the hill, and it would mean only a week's more work until the cars would be descending Mt. Oread on the south side. However, the work has been hindered and it will probably be the first of next week before the cars reach the summit.
The track is now laid as far a the Chemistry building and with in a short time the erection of the station which is to be built between the Chemistry building and the gym will have been begun. Two other platform stations, one south of Fowler shops and the other north of the law building will also be built. Another station will be built by the street car company at Me Cook field. It will be a pavilion sixteen feet wide and forty feet
FIRE ESCAPE FOR FRASER.
Iron Stairways Will Also Be Used as Exits.
A fire escape will soon be built on the west side of Fraser hall, leading to the chapel. There will be two exits from the first floor of the chapel and one from the gallery.
Two three-foot iron stairways will lead from the gallery exit to the first floor exits. From each of the first floor exits a four-foot stairway will lead to the ground. The fire escape will be used every day as an exit, so that the crowded conditions in the hall at chapel time will be eliminated.
Attend Conference.
QUILL READY SOON.

Hands.
Prof. H. L. Jackson of the de partment of chemistry will leave next Tuesday for Boise City, Idaho, to attend the first annual convention of the Western pure food officials,which will convene there the 11th and 12th.
At the regular meeting of the Quill club Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. Helen Thomas, editor for the Quill magazine, reported that several manuscripts were in the hands of the printer. The publications will probably be ready for sale in about three weeks.
The literary program of the meeting consisted of a narrative entitled "A Question of Stimulus," Miss Ise, a character sketch by Miss Alice Smith, and poems by Harry Kemp.

CONFERENCE NOT POSTPONED
REGENTS WILL MEET BE FORE RULES ARE MADE.
Much Opposition to Football Among Missouri Valley Authorities, Says Chancellor.
The meeting of the boards of control of the colleges of the Missouri Valley will be held April 19, as originally scheduled The petition of the Athletic association asking that the meeting be postponed until after the football rules committee has completed its work was presented to Chancellor Strong last night. The committee which presented the petition was told that it would be impossible to alter the plans that have already been made for the meeting.
"The governing boards of at the schools in the Missouri Valley have been personally invited to be present at the meeting April 19," said Chanceellor Strong this morning. "It will be impossible to find a new date which will be convenient for all these men. If the rules committee has done its duty, we would now know what changes in the rules were made for the season of 1910.
"The situation to football is dangerous," continued Chancellor Strong. "Undoubtedly a motion to abolish football will be presented at the Kansas City meeting. Just how such a motion will be received by the meeting, I have no idea, but I hope the abolition of the game may be prevented. Those people who think the agitation against football is local and hysterical are badly mistaken. Criticisms of the game come from all quarters of the country. A university should avoid making any part of its life subject to violent criticism. There fore, I am anxious that final action may be reached which will look toward permanency.
"I think the discussion which is going on among the students is a good thing. The fuller the discussion that is given the matter before it is settled, the better The students should discuss the game on its merits if they wish to make the greatest possible impression of their views on the Re gents. I hope they will not give the impression that they consider football the most important thing in University life."
The Chancellor said to the committee which visited him last night that in his opinion the present agitation over football is the direct outcome of the many evil attendant on the annual Thanksgiving game at Kansas City, rather than the objections to the way the game is played.
There is more of a sentiment against the game in the Missouri Valley than most of the student are aware of. Iowa has on board of control for its schools and the president of that board is radically against football. The Nebraska authorities have no expressed their opinion definitely yet, but they seem to be in harmony with anti-football legislation. Missouri is for a change.

READ MORE POETRY.
Miss Lynn Expressed View in Chapel This Morning.
Though professing her ability to present nothing but platitudes, Miss Margaret Lynn gave an interesting discussion of our present attitude toward poetry in her talk in chapel this morning. Though the average person does not read a dozen lines of poetry a month, there is a considerable knowledge of many standard poems in any intelligent community.
Miss Lynn explained this by referring to the reading of a certain amount of poetry which is required in a college course. Yet the requirement is largely lost so far as it affects most students in after life.
"Though the public libraries have volumes of the poets of the first rank," said Miss Lynn, "the books are read but little. Many people feel afraid to bring poetry or any discussion of it into common conversation."

Miss Woodsmall Told of Collegegirls of the Orient.

However, Miss Woodsmall said. American teachers have so carried their ideas into the school life of India that the college girl there has come to be very much as she is here.
Miss Woodsmall added interest to her talk by showing photographs of the life and dress of ludia.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL 9, 1910
WASIMPORTANT MASS MEETING
HELD YESTERDAY MORN ING IN CHAPEL.
Students Recommended That Playing of Thanksgiving Game Be Discontinued in K. C.
The most important mass meeting and in all probability the last one before the Missouri Valley football conference in Kansas City April 19, was held in chapel yesterday morning. The 1,000 students who were theretook undoubtedly the most important action yet taken in the football campaign.
After Chancellor Strong had outlined the situation to the students and urged them to take sane action, the meeting was turned over to Ralph Spotts, cheer leader. The election of a committee on committees was the first action and it was followed by instructions that that committee should choose four other committees. The four will include one on finance, one on publicity, another to write to the alumni, urging them to take some action on the present question, and a fourth to visit the Regents and present the arguments of the student body favoring the retention of the American game.
The men elected to serve on the committee on committees are: Ralph Spotts, chairman; William Caldwell, Carl Pleasant, Sidney Heil and Harvey Starbuck. With the exception of the appointment of Ben Forbes as committee on finance, no definite action has been taken in appointing the other committees.
Then ensued a discussion on the changes in the administration of the game as suggested by Chancellor Strong. Several of the students expressed what was undoubtedly the sentiment of the majority of the students present and the result was that a motion was passed without a dissenting vote to the effect that it is the concensus of opinion of the student body that the Thanksgiving game should be played the Saturday before Thanksgiving day and not in Kansas City. It was then recommended that the annual Missouri-Kansas game be played alternately at Lawrence and Columbia.
While it is not definitely known how the action of the students here will be taken by the Kansas City alumni, it has been learned that many of the latter strongly oppose the playing of the annual game any place but at Kansas City. The sentiment of the alumni members as a whole will undoubtedly be expressed at the annual banquet there tonight.
"I believe the action taken at the student mass meeting today points the way to the solution of the football problem," said Chancellor Strong to a Kansan reporter yesterday afternoon. "I was highly gratified at the action taken. I had not expected that the students would accomplish so much of actual constructive value. The football situation was greatly improved by
the outcome of the mass meeting, "It goes to show," continued the Chancellor, "That there is a remarkably sound student sentiment at the University of Kansas. My belief that this was so led me to desire a full discussion of football among the students, in order that the best sentiment might express itself. The result of the discussion that has been going or was even better than I had hoped for."
LOST THE DEBATE.
The Kansas-Colorado debate, on the postal savings bank question, held at Boulder Thursday evening, resulted in a unanimous decision in favor of Colorado.
Colorado Won From Kansas by Unanimous Vote.
The members of the team representing the University were Foster Cline, George Probst, and E. L. Overman. With the exception of Mr. Overman, who was a member of the Missouri debating team last year, the Kansas team was inexperienced in inter-collegiate debating.
The judges of the debate were Denver men including Judge Muser, of the Colorado supreme court; C. E. Williams, clerk of the Colorado supreme court, and J. Fillins, an attorney of that place.
The same question will be debated with Oklahoma on April 29.
GIRLS WOULD HELP.
May Appropriate Money to Sophomore Deficit.
The girls of the sophomore class will hold a meeting next Monday, April 11, at 12:15, in the chapel, to consider the advisability of turning over the funds which remain from the Freshman Girls' Circus of last year, for the partial payment of the sophomore class debt. There still remains $14 in the treasury from last year.
The present amount of the class debt is $47. The deficit is due to the class officers say, to the poor support given class parties this year, and unless the prom is unusually successful, at least part of the amount will have to be carried over until next year.
H. T. Martin, curator of the department of paleontology, has almost completed the mounting of the pectoral fins and girdle of a protosphyraeae, which was found last summer by department collectors. When completed this specimen will be one of the finest ever mounted and is considered very valuable.

DREW A DEFEAT IN FIRST GAME
The Buchanan club gave a dance in Ecke's hall last night.
HASKELL THE VICTOR BY
TO 1 SCORE.
Home Run in the Ninth Prevent ed a Shut-Out for K. U.— Fielding Was Good.
The first chapter of the baseball team's history this season was a sad one. A summary can be told in a few words:
Haskell 6, K. U. 1.
Through the whole story runs the vainilla of one Means, the pitcher for the reds. This gentleman was tight, he was exceedingly tight. The hits the 'Varsity boys gathered from his delivery were few and far between, while he was not overly generous with passes. One he gave to Huff but to get it the 'Varsity third baseman was forced to stop a pitched ball with his head. Means also struck out fifteen men. In the fourth and fifth innings he mowed down every man who faced him.
The 'Varsity played a good fielding game, making but one error on a hard chance. The trouble seemed to lie in inability to connect with Mean's slants.Smith and Wilhelm were the only men in the lot who were able to hit the ball. The former saved a shut-out by a home run in the ninth inning.
Another trouble of the locals was the inability of the pitchers to locate the plate. Four of the Indians' runs resulted from bases on balls.
Batteries: K. U.-Doyle, Far well and Rockefeller; Haskell-Means and Lawrence.
MAY MAKE NEW RECORD.
Ammons Threw the Discuss 123
Feet, 7 Inches.
Earl Ammons, who played left end on the 'Varsity "gladiators" last fall, strolled out on the golf links the other day and to while away a few moments picked up a little round iron thing, weight four pounds, called a discus. When he found that it was made to throw, he tried it. On the first effort the distance was 116 feet on the second, 117 feet 9 inches. Gladiator Ammons was not satisfied with this. In one last mad effort he threw the scrap iron 123 feet, 7 inches. The 'Varsity record is 114 feet. It looks bad for the record.
Women Students Suspended.
NUMBER 77
Two students have been suspended by the new student court at the University of Wisconsin. One of the suspensions was for six weeks because of misconduct at the gymnasium on Prom night, and the other was for four weeks because of misrepresentation of facts at the court.
Dr. James Naismith will leave Wednesday for Emporia to be present at the dedication exercises of the $100,000 gymnasium of the State Normal School.
THE WEATHER.
Partly cloudy, possibly showers late tonight; Sunday warmer.
TOLD OF LUMBERMEN.
Rev. Higgins Talked of Work in Minnesota.
The life of the lumbermen of Minnesota and of his ministry among them was the theme of an interesting talk in chapel yesterday morning by Rev. Frank M Higgins. He spoke of himself as a child of the forest who had lived with Indians as his daily companions when he was between 9 and 12 years old. Until after he was 20 years old he had no opportunity to go beyond the sixth grade in school.
After securing his education he began to preach in a forest town about forty miles from Duluth, Minnesota. He went out from there into the neighboring woods and came into sympathetic touch with the rough "lumber jacks." By his life he won the men of the different lumber camps so that they urged him to return to preach to them.
Since giving up his regular pulpit to preach to the lumber men, Mr. Higgins has been able to do much to rid the Minnesota villages of evils which dragged down the men. They send for him on many occasions and respect him fully. From among those whom he has helped to a Christian life have come several men who are now preaching to their companions.
Mr. Higgins gave several instances of men who had changed their lives though originally they had been ready to do him personal violence. One man was unapproachable until the "sky plot" had shown an interest in his dog. The phraseology of the lumber men which Mr. Higgins quoted was one of the entertaining features of the address. He closed with a vigorous expression of the joy he had found in trying to see how much good he could do to his fellow-men.
PINCHOT MAY NOT COME.
Dean Skilton Says Report Is Premature.
A report to the effect that Gifford Pinchot, who has become so well known during the past four months in public affairs, would month, was denied this morning, visit Dean C. S. Skilton next
When asked about the report Dean Skilton said, "It is premature. I have extended a standing invitation to Mr. Pinchot to visit me the next time he comes west. His secretary has informed me that he has been called to Europe to meet Mr. Roosevelt, but may make a Western trip sometime in May. If he does he will very likely arrange to visit me."
Gifford Pinchot and Dean Skilton were close friends during their four years in Yale, both being in the same alphabetical division. They were also members of the same fraternity.

COMPANY "A" AT UNIVERSITY
PROVISIONAL ORGANIZATION NEXT WEEK.
University Company of National Guard Will Camp Near Lawrence Next June.
"Provisional Company A" of the Kansas National Guard will be organized at the University of Kansas next week. Monday and Wednesday afternoons, from 3 to 5, all the signers of the military petition recently circulated and others who wish to become members of the company will report at the office of Dr. Naismith, in Robinson Gymnasium, for physical examinations and enlistment At the same time the men will be measured for khaki and blue uni forms.
Adjutant General C. I. Martin '07, who was in Lawrence Thursday night at the inspection of Company H of the National guard, said that he was anxious to have the organization of the University company completed as soon as possible. He has authorized C. R. Shiffler of Girard, a member of the middle law class to perfect the organization of Provisional Company A. The company will be doubtless as signed to a place in the First regiment, commanded by Col. Wilder S. Metcalf, '97, before many weeks.
Plans are being made to have the company go into camp near Lawrence for six days immediately following quiz weeek in June for the purpose of receiving instruction in drills, guard mounting, and shooting for medals as well as for practice. The company will use its regular field and shelter tents during this encampment. Each member will be allowed to shoot 250 cartridges and will be paid 3 cents a shot for target practice. In addition to this sum, each man will draw the pay of his rank for the six days' encampment. The drills at this six day encampment will be as thorough as possible in order to get the company in shape to make a good showing at the army maneuvers at Fort Riley early in September.
Although eighty men signed the petition for the installation of a company at the University, it is likely that the state will permit the enlistment of only sixty-five men at the present time.
To Work in Chalk Beds.
Dr. C. L. McClung and Prof. Roy Moodie will spend a portion of their time for summer field work in the chalk beds of Trego, Kansas. They expect to take with them a number of the summer school students who are taking special work in paleontology.
Adrian Morgan, president of the freshman class, is spending the week end at his home in Leavenworth.
James Reynolds of Joplin, Mo. is visiting friends at the University.

GOOD WORK FOR FOOTBALL
The mass meeting of yesterday was the best the students of the University of Kansas have ever held, because it showed in a striking and unmistakable way the loyalty for the University that is behind the fight now going on to retain football as a part of University athletics. That it would be actually harmful to the University to do away with football the students have felt from the beginning of the agitation. Accordingly they have pointed the way to the removal of the recognized faults of football while retaining the game itself.
The way in which the meeting was conducted yesterday and the way in which the best counsels prevailed was a credit to the student body. It has been said by critics of the University that the students think more of football than they do of their studies,that there is more loyalty to football shown than there is loyalty to the University. That is an easy criticism to make and a hard one to answer. Athletic enthusiasm is something which anyone may take note of, while the interest in the deeper and more vital affairs of the University is of a less demonstrative nature, and likely to be found only by those who know how to look for it.
The resolutions adopted at the mass meeting yesterday showed beyond question that the movement to retain football is not an exhibition of hysteria and narrowmindedness on the part of the students, but is conducted with all regard to the best interests of the University. There is no doubt that many of the stu
dents who voted for the resolution favoring the removal of the game from Kansas City voted against their own personal preference. They subordinated their own wishes to the good of the University and of University athleties.
More good was done for the cause of football yesterday that had been done at all previous meetings. Probably enough was done to insure the continuance of the sport at the University.
The University Missourian is the paper at Columbia on which the practical work of the School of Journalism of that institution is done. The first year it was published, it was supported by a legislative appropriation. Then local jealousies began to manifest themselves. A fight was made on the paper at the last legislature, with the result that the appropriation for its support was stricken from the University budget. But there was enough proper University spirit at Columbia to save the paper to the University and its valuable use as a laboratory to the School of Journalism. Students formed a stock company and this year the paper has been run on an independent basis. It has been liberally supported and has more than paid expenses. Local news of Columbia as well as University news is handled in its columns. A large circulation has been built up for the paper among the citizens of the town. The Missouriian has taken a strong stand for municipal improvement, and is coming to be in the best sense a model newspaper which other small town dailies might imitate with benefit to themselves and their communities.
The Missourian is just now supporting a movement lately started to build a new capitol building for the state of Missouri.
Students should be interesting themselves in a discussion of candidates for the places in the Stu
dent Council, in order that the best possible choice may be made at the election, May 5. Events of the past week have shown the need of an able, aggressive Student Council-one that will truly represent the student body and will do more than the present council has done toward solving the problems of government at the University that students must solve. Ability should be the sole qualification for which men are chosen-not the fact that they belong to this or that faction of University politicians.
SOME MODERN "GRAFT."
Get-Rich-Quick Scheme "Sold' Some Fairmounters.
Two Fairmount College jokers went out Sunday from Wichita and dug about three pounds of steel bullets out of a bank on the K. N. G. rifle range east of town. They displayed the bullets at Fiske hall. They claimed that the long repose in the earth had changed the stell and lead into gun metal which they said, jewelers were eager to pay 25 cents a pound for.
Instead of the one suck hoped for, the tempting paid landed a half a dozen "preps" and one college "soph." These purchased mining rights and got busy.
An organized stock company of the "wise" ones now systematically boosted the price to fifty cents by stock manipulation. They also put the jewelers next to that, although each jeweler was "overstocked in gun metal," each jeweler confirmed the value of "gun metal." The frenzied mine operators worked Monday and Tuesday, producing about 100 pounds. A column and a half expose in the Wichita Eagle Wednesday morning shut down the mines.

BRUTAL GAME ATTACKED.
Student Breathes New Life Into the Jack Johnson Issue.
To the Editor of the Kansan:
It is reported that in a game of baseball on McCook Thursday afternoon two of the players collided, knocking a chunk out of the forehead of one, and a row of ivories out of the other; also that last week one of the players of this game received a black eye and was unable to keep a date that night. Now in view of these terrible accidents, do you not think that this brutal game ought to be abolished? Are we students going to become gladiators and engage in bloody combat like the Ancient Romans? Is this institution going to tolerate a sport, the playing of which almost floated third base in human blood Thursday? Are sights like these conducive to the higher thoughts that this institution is endeavoring to instill in our minds? How can our noble school live where we tolerate such sport? Will the mothers of the youth of Kansas send their sons to the University of Kansas to be murdered, or their daughters to be hardened by gazing on gory athletic fields? I say that this fieldish so-called sport, baseball, must be abolished. Is this institution going to produce Jack Johnsons or President Eliots? If it is to be the latter the baseball rules must be radically changed, and the game brought nearer to ping pong, or we must introduce tide de-winks. Which shall it be Tiddle-de-winks is English, and as the spring styles are all English, why not adopt this form of exercise? I have never seen bas ball played, but I think that som action should be taken immediately.
STUDIOUS.
In 50 Years, 23,000 Students.
Statistics gathered by Yale University show that in the last fifty years only one-quarter of the 23,000 students were graduated. Many of the non-graduated students are now occupying positions of honor and responsibility throughout the country. In fact, in nearly all pursuits the percentage of non-graduates exceeds the percentage of graduates. In art, architecture and music there are five times as many non-graduates as graduates; in government employment, twice as many; in the ministry, one and one-fourth times as many; and in business, twice as many.
Archery was introduced as a University sport at a shoot recently held at California. The large number of contestants indicate that the interest in the new sport will be strong in that school.

"THE REDCOAT" PLEASES.
"Abounds in Moments of Intense Interest," Says Critic.
In speaking Thursday evening of the cast in "The Redcoat," Georgia H. Brown, who is directing the production, said, "There is some surprisingly good talent in this group of players. Of course the play is deep and requires real acting to make it a success, but these people are going to do it justice. Undoubtedly some of the comedy is equal to anything that has been seen in New York this season and Miss Culp is to be congratulated on having secured real talent to work it up.
"As each rehearsal develops the possibilities of the play, I am amazed. Aside from its historical value, it abounds in moments of the most intense interest and the love scenes are as fine as any I ever saw."

"The Misfit Man" Was Present ed in New York.
The chief character—a comedian—is a young American doctor sojourning in India for reasons closely connected with a certain young woman who lives in the mimic world as the daughter of an American capitalist of a new type. The young man conceives the idea that people grow old and die because some one or two parts of their anatomical machinery have completed a cycle, while in other respects they are still sound and fit] If this is true, he thinks, it must be possible to construct a new young man out of the best parts of a lot of old men, and he persuades the Indian Rajah, Rain Mohan Rai Tan, to allow him to try the experiment on a lot of old prisoners.
As a surgical operation it is successful, but the resultant product is a heterogeneous mixture of a number of different nationalities and subject to the whims and tastes of all. To make matters worse, each of the original prisoners was married, and all the wives claim "Misfit" as their own.
President Jordan to Retire

NEED A "CUR STRAIN."
Is Best for Human Race, Says a Chicago Professor.
William I. Thomas, professor of sociology at the University of Chicago, recently startled his hearers in the course of a talk on "Eugenics, or Race Development," by recommending what he called a "eur strain" in human beings.
"A good, strong stock is what we need," he said. Points aren't worth much. A race horse has 'points,' but it runs itself out in four years. The best all-round dog is a good cur dog, and if we can get a sound "cur strain" in humans and then give the children the right surroundings and the right education we shall have gone far toward developing the race."

WAS A CADDY TOROCKEFELLER
LOUIS KUPFER HOLDS THAT DISTINCTION.
For Two Summers the Law Student Performed Office for the Magnate and His Friends.
Among the students at the University who bears some distinction, is one who was, not so many years ago, caddy to John D. Rockefeller. The student is Louis Kupfer, a middle law, from Cleveland, Ohio. For two seasons, during the summers of 1903 and 1904, Mr. Kupfer held that position under the great oil magnate. Not only did he caddy for Mr. Rockefeller, but also performed the same office during that time for other distinguished men who came to visit the magnate and play golf with him at his beautiful home at Forest Hill.
In speaking of some of his experiences this morning relative to the position he held under Mr. Rockefeller, Mr. Kupfer said, "The principal reason for my desire to caddy for Mr. Rockefeller was that he had a fine pond on his place at Forest Hill, where he allowed his caddies to swim when he did not wish to use them. After a good swim we would go to the gates which barred the entrance to the grounds surrounding the house and wait with the guards who were on duty there, until Mr. Rockefeller would send for us. When he was ready for us the guards would let us enter.
"Mr. Rockefeller was visited by many famous men of those days who played golf with him. Among them were Mark Hanna Otis, the big steel man, and Travis, the golf champion. All three used to be there often. Mr. Hanna was a jolly man and talked freely to the caddies, but Mr. Rockefeller never said much to us unless he made an exceptionally good drive and then he would look around at us with a pleased expression and say, "That was a pretty good drive, wasn't it?"
He was always afraid his wig would blow off and used to pull his cap down firmly on his head before making the drive. He always wanted his caddy to learn his style of play so that the boy could hand him the stick he wanted without being told which one would be used. Mr. Rockefeller was always a good player, but never first class.
SENIOR PLAY FINISHED.

THE PUNCH VANISHED.
Freshmen Had Trouble at Pan Hellenic Party.
At 10 o'clock last night or somewhere near that time—and that matters not—nine or more lusty upper-classmen crept stealthily up the stairway of Fraternal Aid hall and a few moments later crept back down a la the same manner. But the descent was made with about twenty gallons of punch which had been prepared especially to quench the thirst of the dancers at the Freshman Pan-Hellenic party which was being held there.
In some mysterious manner the freshmen "fell" to the fact that the liquid had vanished, and forthwith one of the bravest strode across the street and returned with a policeman.

Junior Prom Plans Similar to Last Year.
NUMBER 78
At a recent meeting of the Juni-ior prom finance committee it was decided that the system used by the class of last year in caring for the financial phase of the annual party would be adopted by the class of '11, practically in its entirety.
Each junior will be expected to pay his dues to a member of the finance committee within a short time. At the time of the payment of dues he will be given a receipt signed by the committee member to which the payment is made. Later these receipts may be exchanged for tickets which will admit to the prom.
Seniors and members of the faculty will be sent invitations to the prom within a week. With those invitations will be enclosed a ticket entitleing the holder to a regular admission ticket to the party.
The members of the finance committee, to one of whom the dues should be paid are: Matt Graham, chairman; Roy Gillman, Allan Park, Speneer Baird, Robert Fisher, John Parker, Miss Grace Elmore, Miss Anna Williams, Miss Agnes Husband.
Dates for the prom have not been handed to the invitation committee as rapidly as had been expected and the members of that committee are making an effort to have all of the dates in within a week. Unless the juniors hand their dates to a member of that committee within a short time they may be unable to gain admission to the prom.
Professor E. Stanley, president of the Friends University of Wichita, and formerly superintendent of the city schools of Lawrence, was a visitor at the University yesterday, attending the committee meeting of theState Teachers' association.

NO GAMES WITH CORNHUSKERS
KANSAS-NEBRASKA BALL
SCHEDULE CANCELLED.
Nebraska Could Not Meet Ama teur Requirements—State Normal and Washburn Instead
It was learned this morning that the four baseball games which were scheduled early in the season between the Universities of Kansas and Nebraska have been cancelled at the request of the University of Nebraska officials.
The athletic board of that University in a recent letter to the athletic board here said it would be impossible to certify for all the men who are playing on the Nebraska team this year under the amateur rule of the Missouri Valley Conference. The Nebraska officials, however, intimated that they believed their team was in about the same condition as other baseball teams in the conference schools, and asked if it would be possible to play the games as scheduled without regard to the rules. They asked in ease that could not be done that the games be cancelled.
Prof. C. E. McClung, chairman of the athletic board, when asked about the Nebraska games today said: "The Nebraska board asked us to play the games regardless of the fact that some of the members of the Nebraska team were professional players We did not think it advisable to play contrary to the conference rules. All the members of the Kansas team are in good amateur standing. The other members of the Missouri Valley Conference will not play with Nebraska or account of the amateur rule." Manager Lansdon has arranged for games with the State Normal and Washburn teams on the dates left open by the canciliation of the Nebraska games. Conch Ebright's men will meet the State Normal team on Me Cook field next Friday and Saturday. A game with the Washburn team will be played on Me Cook field April 22 and another at Taukau April 23.
One Week of Grace for Sopho mores.
MUST HAVE DATES.
During the past week the sophomore prom committee has been doing considerable work in an effort to get all of the dates which have been made for the annual party recorded. The effort has been without satisfactory results however, and for that reason the committee has set a date after which no dates will be received The late is April 20. With this system the sophomores hope to facilitate the work which they must do and also to gain more time in making the final arrangements for their party.
THE WEATHER.
The dates may be handed to Donald McKay, George Stucky Ralph Johnson, Ike Lambert or Everett Brummage.
Generally fair tonight and Wednesday; cooler.
ENLISTMENT TOMORROW.
Only Small Numbers Reported for Examination Yesterday.
Capt. Carl Phillips, examining physician, was out of town yesterday, and as a result a number of the "forward march boys" who hoped to be duly enlisted soldiers by today are waiting. But by tomorrow the doctor will return and from 3 to 6 o'clock tomorrow afternoon he will be on the receiving line in Dr. Naismith's office and will decide how many of the sturdy Jayhawkers are fit for military duty. Sixteen men reported for examination yesterday and it is hoped that at least seventy-five will report tomorrow afternoon. Only sixty-five men may be accepted for the company and the first ones to be enlisted will constitute "Provisional Company A" of the University of Kansas
Recruiting officer C. R. Shifler stated this morning that he hoped to have everything completed by the end of this week and that as soon as fifty-eight men have been accepted he would make requisition through the quarter-master at Washington D.C. for equipment.
ABANDON THE BROOMS.
Vacuum Cleaners to Be Used to Clean Buildings.
No more will the dusky jantors wield the filthy broom and the unsanitary dust-pan up and down the halls and corridors of the University of Kansas, to the confusion of the passing student and instructor. The "vacuum cleaner" has arrived here to stay, according to a statement made by Mr. E. F. Crocker, superintendent of buildings and grounds this morning.
The first one was tried out to day in the Engineering building for the instruction of a large crowd of engineers and such others as cared to be instructed. The operation was satisfactory to all concerned, and so we may expect to see all the buildings equipped with the machines next fall, at the latest.
Earth Trembles Again.
The seismograph, located in the basement of Fraser hall, recorded an earthquake shock last night. The duration of the shock was over an hour and a quarter, extending from 6:40 to after 8 o'clock.
Prof. H. P. Cady, who has charge of the instrument, said this morning that, as near as he could locate it, the earthquake was from 1500 to 1600 miles to the southeast. That would make it in the vicinity of Kingston, on the Island of Jamaica. Several disturbances have been reported from this vicinity in the last few months.
Call for Sophomore Trackmen.
All sophomore trackmen who wish to enter the Inter-class meet should see Will French as soon as possible.
THE NEW DEAN MAKES A VISIT
DR. C. H. JOHNSTON HERE TO CONFER WITH FACULTY.
Purpose and Organization of the School of Education to Be Outlined in Bulletin.
Prof. Charles Hughes Johnston, who has recently accepted the position of dean of the new School of Education of the University, arrived in the city yesterday to remain for a few days to get in touch with plans for his work here next year. He will return to AnnArbor on Thursday, as he is taking advantage of the spring vacation at the University of Michigan to make this preliminary survey of the work which he will direct here.
Professor Johnston held a conference this morning with the members of the department of Education and will meet them again tonight for further discussion. He is now giving special consideration to the information which will go into a bulletin to show the purpose and organization of the school and to outline the courses which will be offered. This bulletin will be sent to superintendents and principals of the state and to prospective students who might wish to enter the School of Education.
Professor Johnston is recognized as a man of distinct ability and his selection to head the new school will do much to insure its success. His visit at this time will enable him to carry forward the work next fall without the delay which might be incident to starting a new school.
VISITED PENITENTIARY.
Sixty Students Made Trip to State Institution.
About sixty students of the classes in Remedial and Corrective Agencies and Applied Sociology, under Prof. F. W. Blackmar, went to Lansing and Leavenworth this morning to inspect the state and federal prisons there.
The party left on a special car at 7:00 o'clock and returned this evening. The state penitentiary at Lansing was visited this morning and the federal institution this afternoon.

A RECORD OF PROGRESS
If the history of football at the University of Kansas had been one of degeneration instead of progress, if conditions in athletics had been going from bad to worse, then there would have been more point in the movement to abolish the game.
On the contrary, the tendency has been steadily toward the improvement of football and athletics in general.
Conditions were bad for awhile that is farther back than anyone now in school can remember when professionalism was rampant, and the scholarship of players was a reproach to the school. Then the University officials started to "clean up" and they were backed up in the movement by the students. The University showed the whole Missouri Valley that it is possible to have clean athletics and winning teams at the same time. It has been years since a University played received pay. Today, if the scholarship standing of the whole university were equal to that maintained by the football men, those who are interested in seeing the University do efficient work would be much easier in their minds than they are.
True, everlasting vigilance is required to keep sport clean. That is as true of college sport as it is of politics. But why abandon athletics because of that fact, especially when the University has shown that the needed vigilance is forthcoming and that athletes can be kept clean and not only that, but steadily improved?
ity of Kansas alumni at Kansas City Saturday night was a meeting of a kind which is sure to become of more and more importance as the years roll on. The graduates of the latest class pledged the Alma Mater with the frosty-haired alumnus of the early days, and to both the University has become an inspiring memory. The University of the present is vastly different from that of the early times, yet it is the result of orderly evolution from early conditions. Though "young" as schools of higher education go, it is acquiring traditions which mean much to the present students and to the alumni. That is another reason for "making haste slowly" when policies are contemplated which involve marked and radical changes in University life.
A UNIVERSITY NEED.
The Yale Alumni Weekly makes the statement, or rather, accusation, that "cribbing" is on the increase at Yale University. If that is true, there is one condition in college life that is the same in the East and the West for "cribbing" is by no means unknown at the University of Kansas. In fact, one professor of long experience, whose position gives him a knowledge of all departments, said recently, "Cribbing is the besetting sin of University of Kansas students. It is looked upon by many of them in the most matter-of-fact way, as if it were one of the regular in
There is little question that "cribbing" is on the increase at the University. Its growth can not be explained entirely by the fact that the students do not like the present examination system, though some students have urged that as the explanation, for in former years there was less "cribbing" under the same system. It is a vice which does only harm. If it is to be remedied the student body must take upon itself the task. The present Student Council has considered the matter of possible remedies, but has been unable to make up its mind as to what is the right way of going about it That is not surprising, for the problem is a most perplexing one and it may be long before it can be solved. A strong Student Student Council is needed at the University to meet this and other questions of student life; there fore the most able men in the University should be chosen to serve on the Council, which is to be elected May 5. That this b done is of vital interest to every student of the University.
stitutions of the University, and a perfectly proper thing."

The New "Brown" Family Has Just Come to Town!
What a pity that Theodore Roosevelt's visit to Kansas is to be in August, when the University is not in session! If the ex-President had only timed his coming for the fall, the University would have been more than pleased to entertain the state's strenuous guest with an exhibition of clean athletics and a clen sport, from which mollycoddles are stricly barred.

We show a complete selection at each price from $10 to $35, featuring a particularly big line at

Effort Made to Take Phonograph Record.
An effort was made by Professor H. O. Kruse and E. F. Engel of the German department, to obtain phonograph records of the college yells at the mass meeting Friday morning.

At the regular meeting of the Y. M. C. A. Thursday evening, President William Caldwell announced the recommendation of the nominating committee for officers for the association for the school year of 1910-11, as follows:
President, "Tommy" Johnson; vice president, Kenneth O. Munson; secretary, Verne V. Long; treasurer, D. C. Martindell. These names will be voted upon at the next meeting Thursday night.

High School Students to Learn of the Study in University.
BULLETIN IN GERMAN.
The University News-Bulletin issued today, was printed in German and is being mailed to every high school in Kansas in which German is taught. The material contained in the Bulletin is devoted to the interests of the department of German and is compiled by E. F. Engel, who originated this plan of appealing directly to the students throughout the state who are studying German.
This is the fourth year in which a German Bulletin has been sent from the University. It is now issued twice during the school year, as it meets a hearty reception over the state. Last December the Bulletin was mailed direct to the students, but this issue will go to the teachers for distribution.
Colored Students Won Debate.
H. V. Wilbourn and George Williams represented the coloré students of the local Y. M. C. A. in a debate held at Topeka last Friday. The question debated was, "Resolved that the present system of trial by jury should be abolished." Wilbourn and Williams took the negative, and J. E. Carey and J. C. Davis of Topeka the affirmative. The negative side won.
Should Elect Class Captains.
Walked to Baldwin.
A. G. Mall, J. W. Humphrey and H. E. Kraus walked to Baldwin Sunday morning, returning the same way that evening. They claim not to be footsore and to have found the walk invigorating.
Coach Hamilton would like to see the men who are interested in class athletics meet and elect a captain for each class so that the men may be picked for the different events as soon as possible Coach Hamilton said this morning that more interest is being manifested this year than ever before, largely, he thinks on account of the class meets last fall Four records are liable to be broken this spring.

M. U. RULES FOR WOMEN.
University Authorities Draw Up a Code.
Columbia, Mo., April 5.—The women of the University of Missouri in mass meeting adopted today a strict set of rules for the government of the young women students.
The rules were drawn up by a committee representing the sororities, the girls' dormitories and the leading boarding houses. They have the approval of President Hill and Miss Eva Johnston, ton, adviser of the women. This is the first time a uniform set of rules have been adopted by the university women.
Here are the rules which the women expect to enforce:
Men and women shall not room in the same house.
No woman shall make more than four evening engagements a week, including calling engagements.
The house door shall be locked at 10:30 p. m., and anyone who must be out later must obtain a key from the chaperon.
Callers shall leave at 10:30 o'clock.
Any woman leaving the house in the evening should inform the chaperon where she is going.
Each chaperon of a rooming house must agree to these rules before her home is placed on the approved list which is filed with the adviser of women.
ARE READY FOR SHOW.
Cast in "The Redcoat" Are Doing Good Work.
The work of the various members of the cast which will present "The Redecoat," the latest play written by Muriel Culp, is all that could be desired. Charles Younggreen in the title role is doing the work of a professional. Mr. Younggreen can scarcely be classed with amateurs, as he has had excellent stage training in the companies of Robert Edson and Paul Gilmore. His interpretation of "Hot Head Harry" Hallowden, the dashing king's dragoon, who ventures into the home of Washington in search of his sweetheart, is superb.
Alberta Creswell, as Patricia Lee, the girl who is in love with an enemy of her country, carries one of the heaviest parts in the cast, with grace and ease. "Tod" Woodbury is surprising his best friends by the manner in which he is working out the character of Colonel Jack Howard, the bluff soldier who is led to believe that his sweetheart, Peggy Chew is in love with the Red coat. Quay Barnett is particularly fine as a young French marquis, Francois de Chastelux. The cast is strong throughout and is working as no cast in Lawrence ever worked before to do justice to itself and the play tomorrow night.
"The Redcoat" is a romantic drama in three acts and a tableau showing the surrender of Yorktown. It will be produced tomorrow evening at Bowersock's theater. The tickets are on sale at Woodward's.
Installing Foundry.
Machinery valued at $1,000 has been ordered from the Obermayer Foundry company of Chicago for the new foundry which is being installed in the west end of Fowler shops.
Work on the installation is being rapidly pushed so that it will not be long before the foundry will be in operation.
MINING EXPERT SPEAKS.
Explained Use of Hydraulic Cartridges in Mines.
Dr Henry M. Payne spoke at themining journal meeting yesterday afternoon at 4:30, in Snow hall. Dr. Payne is a professor of mining engineering at the University of West Virginia, and general manager of The Hydraulic Cartridge Co., of New York. He is interested in West Virginia coal mining operations and was sent to Europe last summer by the state of Virginia to study methods with a view of changing the state mining laws.
Dr. Payne, in his talk, dwelt primarily upon the explanation of the hydraulic cartridge, which is a substitute for explosives in coal mines. The use of this cartridge does away with the greatest dangers in coal mining, as there is no heat or flame connected with its use
The cartridge is a steel cylinder which is placed in a hole in the coal bed and water is forced into it under very great pressure, which forces out a row of pistons along one side and this causes the breaking of the coal.
The cartridge has a force equivalent to the explosive force of powder.
Dr. Payne closed his lecture with illustrations of coal mining methods of Europe.
FISH FOR THE FARMERS.
Prof. Dyche Says They Can Raise $3,000,000 Wotrh.
Wichita, Kan., April 12.—Prof.
L. L. Dyche, state fish and game
warden, declared that if the farm-
ers will follow his advice he will
establish enough ponds to give
every family in the state one
good meal of fish each week,
which would be $3,000,000 worth
of fish each year.
He wants the farmers to build fish ponds and will issue a bulletin in a short time on how to build the ponds and how to select the fish for stocking them and how to feed the fish. He is now visiting ponds which are being built. He says most of them are not properly constructed.
The "New Type" Is Here, Too.
The "New Type" Is Here, Too. The president of Columbia University, in his annual report to the trustees, among other things, says: "The new type of student, whether he knows it or not, goes to college primarily for a social and not an intellectual purpose." Of course, you can't give a young man brains merely by sending him to college. Too many rah,rah students cannot be turned into scholars. Their brains can't stand it. It would be a grievous wrong to bring down all college students to a level of this class, so the committee on instruction of Columbia is figuring out a plan, something like that at Oxford, of dividing the students into honor and pass men, so that anybody with the price can be a college man.—Kenyon Collegian.
The Office-Boy's Grandma.
"You will have to let me off for a day or two in April, ma'am." "Why, Nora, what for?!" "I must be a sick a bit, ma'am." "Sick, Nora?" "Sure, ma'am. I'm th' grandmother of an office boy who wants to git off an' see the openin' ball game, ma'am."—Cleveland Plaindealer.
Miss Edna Gafford, who left school last term is visiting at the Theta house.

THE VARSITY CAME BACK
BEAT HASKELL BY A 10 TO
5 SCORE.
Success With the Indians Gives Hope of Winning From Nebraska.
As baseball, the session held with the Indians on McCook field Saturday, was of very little force but there was in the 'Varsity' 10 to 5 victory much of the swee nness of revenge and this more than made up for some of the other things that were lacking.
It can be said, however, that Ebright's men made a far better showing as stickers than they did the day before, and as the men walked to the plate and clouted the ball one after the other, those in the bleachers who feared the team were hitless wonders drew deep breaths of relief Haller was the particularly shining light in this department, putting the ball out of the lot four times out of five at the stick. The pitchers also worked well and not a run that was tallied to the Indians' credit was earned.
But just here was the sad feature of the performance. Coach Ebright's men bobbled several easy chances and allowed the Sioux to slip across the rubber without molestation. The errors did not all lie with Rockeyites however, for from the third to the eighth innings the redskins gave a very passable imitation of the Los Angeles aviation met.
Muri was sent on the firing line for the Indians, but the liberties that the 'Varsity took with his slants and the Curtiss-like performance of the substitute first baseman caused him to seek his old hunting grounds around the initial sack. His successor on the mound fared no better and when he had to retire with a badly injured hand in the seventh, Means was called to the rescue.
Work on Quill Magazine.
Heiser and Sevin served the pellets for the white men and gave entire satisfaction.
The linotype in the alumni association printing office started work last week on copy for the Quill magazine, which will be published about the first of May. The magazine this year will contain thirty different articles of verse, narration, description sketches and feature stuff. Its eighty pages will contain more local interest stories than previous publications. There are 25 members in the club this year, but several of the articles will be contributed by persons who are not in school. Mrs. Helen Jones Thomas is chairman of the editorial board.

MAY CHANGE WITHOUT LOSS
EASY TO SHIFT MISSOURI KANSAS GAME.
So Says Manager Lansdon, Who Has Long Favored Playing the Game on College Grounds.
In an interview this morning concerning the playing of the annual Thanksgiving game alternately at Lawrence and Columbia instead of at Kansas City, as betoretofe. W. C. Lansdon, manager of athletics, said.
'I see no reason why the game should not be as profitable played here and in Columbia as it has been in the past at Kansas City. While the receipts will probably be somewhat less, the expense would also be cut down appreciably.
Last year the expense of the game at Kansas City was over $8,000 and the University's share of the receipts totaled less than $10,300.
"From this it would appear that as the net profits were only a little over $2,000 the profits could be made to reach that figure if the game were played here.
If the game is played here, it means of course, that the seating capacity of McCook field must be greatly increased. A new grand stand must be built on the south side and improvements made in the present stand and in the bleachers on the north side, and at the west end. Personally, I am inclined to believe that we will have very little difficulty in getting as large a crowd here as was present at the game at Kansas City last year.
"The question seems to be not so much the handling of the crowd on McCook as the earing for the people in the town. It would mean that every patriotic person in Lawrence would have to get busy and make coffee and sandwiches on that day if the people were to be fed. As far as that is concerned, a cup of coffee and a sandwich was as much as I was able to obtain in Kausae City last year after the game.
"Of course, it is a matter of mere speculation what Column I will do in the matter. I understand, though, that President Hill is in favor of abolishing the Kansas City game; and further, Columbia is better prepared now to handle the game than it was a few years ago, when the question of such a game first came up.
"As far as playing the game on the Saturday preceding the Thursday of Thanksgiving is concerned, I am inlined to favor the idea, as in previous years the team has been handicapped by having two games come so close together; and it will save running over a Saturday without a game, as it was proposed to do this year."
Annual Board Editors Will Rest The senior annual editoria board expects to take a well earned rest after tomorrow night. Ralph Spotts, the editor, said to day he expected to send the last copy of the book to the publishers by that time. The staff will then have nothing to do but read proof, which has already commenced to come back.
"GRADS" FAVOR FOOTBALL
Voted Solidly for It at Kansas City Banquet.
As was expected, the annual dinner of Kansas City alumni and former students, which was held at the University club at Kansas City last Saturday night was turned into a rally for American football. Only two or three of the many speeches made deaf with subjects off the football question.
The two hundred guests present voted almost unanimously in favor of retaining the game in its present form. E. C. Little, '83, was the only speaker who opposed the game.
Prof. W. H. Carruth spoke at the banquet on what has been done at the university since Cham cellor Strong's administration began. L. N. Flint, secretary of the Alumni Association, spoke on "The Alumni at Large."
A letter has been received from Herman Credner of the University of Leipsic, Germany, by the curator of the department of paleontology of the University, saying that he had shipped a collection of fossils from some of the famous German fossil beds. This valuable collection was obtained through the exchange system which the University has with other schools of the world.

The freshmen were made responsible for gathering sufficient material for the bonfire which helped the annual track rally at the University of California.
SENIOR PLAY READY.
As Usual, It Is the "Best Ever" Tryout Tomorow Night.
The manuscript for the senior play has been completed and according to Miss Gertrude Mossler, the director, it is one of the best ever written in the University.
"This year's senior play will be somewhat different from the usual run of senior plays," said Miss Gertrude Mossler today. "I was much pleased in looking over the manuscript to notice the gratifying absence of small talk, which most amateur playwrights are un able to keep out of their lines.
The first and only tryout for places on the cast,which will also be for places on the senior farce cast, will be held in Fraser hall tomorrow night, at 7:15, before Miss Mossler, Vale Nance, chairman of the senior play committee. Milton Cain, manager of the senior play, and Miss Edna Hopkins, chairman of the senior farce com mittee.
"It is different from the usual run of college plays also in having a small east. The play has the merit of having been written with due regard for dramatic consisteney, rather than with the dominating purpose of making places for as many characters as possible. It really is 'legitimate drama,' which means that it is not like many amateur productions."
The senior play this year is a four-act comedy-drama. It deals only in part with life at the University. There are seventeen char acters. The name of the play has not yet been made public.
Rehearsals will begin next week. The play will be given on Thursday and Friday nights, May 19 and 20.
The name of the senior farce as announced by the farce committee will be "Mr. Jay Hawk."
Horace Hollingsworth and Henry Ahrens, seniors in the School of Engineering, returned yesterday from Leavenworth, where they surveyed a boulevard from Leavenworth to the United States fort.

A GAME UNDER THE NEW RULES
GLADIATORS WILL HAVE A TRYOUT NEXT WEEK.
The football game between the "Muffins" and the "Plugs," which was to have been played on the golf links tomorrow afternoon, has been postponed until next week. The postponement is due to the fact that the men have not had enough practice work to justify a public game.
Coaches Kennedy and Mose Will Be on Hand to Get Line on Next Fall's Material.
As yet the day on which the game will take place has not been decided, but it is probable that it will be set for Wednesday.
The two squads will be under the direct coaching of Captain Pleasant and Captain-Elect Johnson. Coaches Kennedy and Mosse will be on hand to watch the men work out and get a line on material for next fall. While the new rules proposed by the National Rules Committee have not yet been adopted, it is practically settled that they will constitute many of the revisions for next season and for that reason they will govern the playing of next week's game.
Davidson and Robertson were chosen captains for the two teams and each has picked his men for the contest. The line-up follows:

HELD SENIOR TRYOUT.
The majority of the members of the senior class met at Miss Gerturde Mossler's studio in the Dick building, last night and participated in the tryout for the senior play, and the senior farce. The tryout lasted until after 12 o'clock, but even then a number were prevented from the reading of the parts.
For that reason the results of the tryout were not announced today and will not be given out until after a second tryout is held during the next few days.
Harvey Burgess, a senior law, left for Western Kansas Sunday night, where he will take a position as county surveyor.
IS AGAINST FOOTBALL
Governor Stubbs Has Announced His Opposition to the Game.
The fact that Governor W. R Stubbs opposed the playing of football of any sort at the University became known yesterday afternoon. The intelligence was gained through a prominent citizen of Lawrence who is greatly interested in the welfare of the school. This citizen held a conference with the governor about a week ago and it was at that time that Mr. Stubbs expressed his opposition to the game.
"I am opposed to football and to the playing of the game at the University," said the governor, in speaking of the present agitation here. "There are many reasons for my opposition, yet, I have decided not to take any part in the present agitation at Lawrence." Despite the fact that Mr. Stubbs takes an open stand against football it is practically a certainty that he will not interpose in the present campaign. On the other hand he is said to have no desire of taking part in the fight.
CHOSE FRESHMEN TEAM.
Tyro Baseball Nine Chosen Yesterday.
The members of the freshman base ball team were named by Coach Harold Harlan yesterday afternoon. The Tyros have been working out for some time and be cause of the fact that a large number of men have been trying for positions, it has been impossible to pick the team earlier.
The men who will compose the first-year team are: Hill, catcher; Porter, first base; Hicks, third base; Hamilton, left field; Walker, center field; Mahin, right field; and Miller, Busiek, McCarty and Asheraft, pitchers.
The men who will play shortstop and second base have not yet been chosen. However, the positions will be given to two of the following four men: Davis, Laffer, Rambo and Hoffman.
Charles M. Harger, director of the University course in journalism, has an article in the current issue of the Saturday Evening Post, entitled "The Farmer and His Bank." Mr. Harger discusses the intimate relations between the farmers and the small banks and how they mutually help each other.

AMERICAN FOOTBALL TO STAY AT UNIVERSITY.
GAME WILL NOT BE ABOLISHED
Statement Made by Regent Gleed Last Night Indicates Conclusion—See Hopkins Tonight.
"The Board of Regents of the University of Kansas will not vote to abolish the game of football at that institution unless the majority of the Missouri Valley schools should favor abolishment and neither will the authorities of the school favor the adoption of Rugby unless at least four or five of the other schools of the Conference are willing to adopt it."
Such was the statement of Regent J. W. Gleed, made to a committee of students who called upon him last night. Mr. Gleed came to Lawrence yesterday on business and was the guest at the home of Vice-Chancellor W. H. Carruth. Last evening a delegation consisting of Carrol Lord, Carl Pleasant, and William Caldwell, called upon the Regent and spent more than an hour with him discussing the football situation at the University. At first Mr. Gleed showed a tendency to listen rather than to talk and signified a desire to learn of the attitude of the students here with regard to the retention of the game. Then he entered into the discussion and made the above statement.
It is commonly known here that Regent W. A. White and Regent Gleed are the two most radiant opponents of the game. With such a statement coming from Mr. Gleed it seems that football's probably saved for another season.
The student football visitation committee, composed of Carrol Lord, Carl Pleasant and R. L Douglas, will confer with Regent Scott Hopkins tonight. He is in Lawrence this afternoon and so the conference was arranged On Monday Regent W. A. White will be here and has agreed to meet the committee at that time.
On tomorrow evening the three students will leave for Hutchinson to hold a conference with Regent W. Y. Morgan and before returning will call upon Regent Foley at Lyons.
Mr. Gleed also said that the playing of the Thanksgiving game at Kansas City was the worst feature of University football, and that a change in the place of playing that game was one of the reforms he most wished for.
A reception will be held for the worthy grand matron of the Eastern Star at Masonic hall April 15. All student memberes are invited

The action of the University in cancelling the baseball games with the University of Kansas because there are professional players on the Nebraska team was somewhat surprising, to say the least. It is absurd to suppose that it is impossible to find enough men at the University of Nebraska to make up a baseball team untainted with professionalism. It is more likely that the action arises from the belief of the Nebraska officials that the amateur requirements for college baseball either can not be enforced or ought not to be enforced. The frank request that the University of Kansas suspend the conference rules and play the games as scheduled indicates a deliberate attempt to break down the conference rules. The University of Kansas can well afford to spend considerable time investigating the situation before it agrees to withdraw to any extent from the requirements it has succeeded in imposing in regard to amateur standing in all branches of sport
In the seven weeks of school yet remaining this year, there will be enough "doing" to keep most students as busy as they care to be. In addition to the University and social affairs which always spring up to fill all the dates at toward the end of the spring term, there will be no lack of theses and final reviews with which to while away the time.
They are talking of building some electric lines into Columbia, Mo. Every improvement of that kind will help to put Columbia on the map of the accessible world, and will also have a bearing on the important question of playing important University games in University towns.
"I can see no hope for the abo
fition of football," said Regent J. W. Gleed to the student committee last night. But there is no scarcity of hope, just the same, for if Mr. Gleed can see no hope, then the students of the University can see lots of it.

EARTHQUAKE NOT LOCATED
University Seismograph Only One to Record Last Shock.
Who has lost an earthquake? The University has a perfectly good quake which the owner can have by claiming his property. It was recorded on the University seismograph Monday night. So far, the occurrence of the earthquake has not been noted by a single other observatory, though the record made by the University or Kansas seismograph indicated a more violent disturbance than the one which was recorded March 31 by observatories all over the United States.
The record shows that the earth's trembling lasted over an hour and a quarter. The story traced in the lampblack on the revolving drum by the sensitive needles of the seismograph goes thus: mild premonitory shakings began at 6:40 and lasted for about 15 minutes. Then a sudden shock sent the needles zigzagging 3 millimeters from a straight line, which means that the earthquake had begun to go some. The recording needles were kept on the job for the next hour marking down shocks of varying intensity. Toward the end of the record the curves traced by the points become longer, indicating that the earth was getting tired, and finally, after a few minutes of barely perceptible sidewise movement the needles again became motionless.
"The record was absolutely characteristic, as was shown by comparing it with the tracings of previous shocks which were made by other instruments," said Prof. H. P. Cady yesterday.
When the street car line over the hill is completed during the next two weeks, four pay-as-youenter cars will be placed in service. The cars have been ordered and are expected to arrive with in a short time. Two of them will be used in making the University circuit from the south and the other two from the north.

FOR EASY BICYCLING.
Student Has Device to Change Gear of Wheels.
For several years H. V. Jono has been working on a device for changing the gear of a bieyeh from high to law as the occasion demands. This week he received word from parties in the east who have had his invention in charge saying that it is a complete success and that when a few changes are made, a request for a patent on it will probably be made.
The device is extremely simple The mechanism for changing from high to low gear is in the sprocket wheel, but this is controlled entirely by attachments from the handlebars. Thus, when the rider comes to a hill all he has to do is to give the bars twist and the low gear is on. When he has successfully pedaled on the high gear and he can bowl up the hill another twist will turn on the high gear and he can bowl down the hill without working like a jumping jack.
Mr. Jonte is enthusiastic over his invention and as he has heard of no similar device on the market, he feels certain that the patient will be granted and that when the proper financial means are secured he will have his labor-saving device one of the necessities of life.

MORGAN FOR FOOTBALL.
Regent Gives Out Interview at Columbia Favoring the Game.
University Missourian, April 12. W. Y. Morgan, a member of the Board or Regents of the University of Kansas, a representative in the Kansas legislature and editor of the Hutchinson News, while in Columbia today expressed himself as opposed to the abolition of football.
"Yes, there is an agitation in Kansas against football," he said, when asked about the situation there. "It was started outside of the University by newspaper men who thought the game was giving the school a black eye in the state. Like your university Kansas is largely dependent upon the good will of the people of the state for its support. These men felt that the people were getting the idea that the University was turning out good butchers as a result of the roughness of football.
"Football is rough, but it takes a rough game to make a man out of a fellow. I have not missed a game in Kansas City for fifteen years. There are changes that might be made to advantage. I think the suggestion made here that fewer games be played is a good one. In the fall the game takes up too much of the students' time.
"I think the resolutions passed at the University of Kansas the other day, in favor of doing away with the Thanksgiving game at Kansas City, were proposed by members of the faculty and were supported by the students in the hope that they would stop the agitation against football.
"I don't know whether the Kansas regents will take any action against football or not. Two members of the board are strongly opposed to the game and they may want to take advantage of the present agitation."
Ralph C. Johnson, who graduated from the College last year, is visiting friends here for a few days. He has been working on the Leavenworth Times since graduation, but is now on his way to Denver, where he will do reportorial work.

VISITED PENITENTIARY.
Sixty Students Make the Annual Trip
Prof. F, W. Blackmar, Prof. M. F. Parmalee, and sixty members of the department of sociology, spent Tuesday at the state and federal penitentiaries and the Old Soldiers' home. The trip was the regular annual one that is taken in connection with the course in remedial and corrective agencies, under Professor Blackmar.
The party left Lawrence on a special motor car at 7:00 o'clock, and upon arriving at Lansing went immediately to the state institution. There the students remained until 1:00 o'clock when a special inter-urban car carried them to the Old Soldiers' Home, where an hour was spent in inspecting the buildings and grounds. Later the party went on to the Federal penitentiary where they spent the remainder of the afternoon and returned to Lawrence at 4:30 in the evening. Probably the most interesting part of the trip was the visit to the state institution. The students were met at the prison entrance by Warden J. K. Codding and then organized into parties of ten each. Each party was headed by a guide, who took the students through the entire institution including the coal mine.
HERE'S ANOTHER KIND.
Non't Somebody Please Champion Australian Football?
Consul Baker of Hobart says that Australian football, while not dangerous, is of great athletic benefit, and also "of very considerable interest to spectators." The consul says that the Columbia Park boys' club of San Francisco, including forty boys of good athletic build, has completed its tour of the Australian states and played about forty games of football with Australian teams without a single accident.
The Australian game requires a larger field than the game as played in the United States calls for, and the ground must be oval in shape and at least 180 yards from goal-post to goal-post. The players at the start are placed along the edges down to the center of the field.
The chief science of the game is to keep the play open. It is not allowed to trip a man nor to put the arms around the neck nor in any way to endanger his person. The ball can be taken away from a man only by knocking it from his hand. A detailed account of the game is on file at the bureau of manufacturers. As many as 40,000 persons go to see one of these matches in Melbourne—New York World.

ANOTHER BRUTAL SPORT.
Discovered to Exist at the University.
A few years ago five blooming, healthy young specimens of Kansas manhood came to the University, full of hope and pride and ambition. Today those five men are heartbroken and miserable, and the joy has gone out' of their young lives with a dull, sickening thud. All of that, if not more so.
And the reason for this blight and despair? Why, yesterday those five were refused admission to Company A of the Kansas National Guard, which is being formed here. The reason for the rejection of these ambitious young warriors was—whisper it softly—deformed feet. Flat, and clubbed, and twisted and maimed pedals put the chances of those five ambitions young men on the hum.
And they're bitter about it, too for they say it's entirely the fault of the institution they've been attending.
"Did I bring these mained extremities with me from home?" said one of the unfortunate, waving a foot full of corus before the bystander. "No, by ericky, these didn't come from hopping from furrow to furrow on the dear old farm, and they didn't come from long jaunts on the track of the Central branch, and they didn't come from that brutal game of football, either. Hark ye, stranger, this"—pointing once more with a tearful gesture to the injured pedal—"this is the result of years of walking upyon brick-paved hill to eight o'clock classes," indicating Adams street.
All the other victims attribute their misfortunes to the same cause, and advocate the abolition of walking by order of the Board of Regents. A movement is on foot, it is said, to force the street railway company to carry all students who buy athletic tickets, to classes free next year

PLAYED A TIE GAME.
Sig Alph-Sigma Chi Game Called in the Eighth.
The Sig Alphs and the Sigma Chis played a seven-inning base ball game on McCook field yesterday afternoon. The score was 7 to 7 at the end of the seventh when the game was called on account of darkness. Another game will be played later, but the exact date has not yet been decided upon.
This afternoon the Alpha Taus and the Phi Delts will play a regular scheduled game on MeCook field.
At the Chemistry Club.
Bruckmiller's subject was "The Manufacture of Fertilizer." He gave the methods by which fertilizer might be made the best use of, by experimenting with soil as to the amount of acids or bases that it requires.
Wilbur Hobbs and Fred Bruckmiller read papers at the meeting of the Chemical club yesterday. Hobbs' subject was, "The Manufacturing of Incandescent Gas Mantles." He described the elements that compose these mantles and gave the history of their manufacture.
Prof. H, W. Emerson returned today from Hutchinson, where he has been since last Monday.

First Performance Staged Last Night
GAVE "THE REDCOAT."
"The Redcoat," the second production of Miss Muriel Culpa a former University student, was staged at the Bowersoek opera house last night before a large audience. The play was given under the auspices of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the proceeds will be used by that organization in defraying the expenses of holding a state convention of the society here in May.
Thirteen of the twenty-five members of the east were University students. The title role and the leading girl's part were both played by talent of the school. The first was taken by Charles Younggreen and the second by Mis Alberta Cresswell. Both did well. The others from the hill were: Charles Woodbury, Quay Barnett, Frank Nutter, Logan Abermathy, Homer Conley, Ward Coble, George Hill, Melvin Kates, Vernon Ward, Margaret Fort and Melville Wood. Speaking from the standpoint of dramatic production the play itself is undoubtedly better than Miss Culp's, "Father and the Frat," which was produced by the Thesian dramatic club last fall. Good lines abound in it, and there are several situations cleverly developed. But as a whole it does not hang well together.
Several things in the plot require a considerable stretch of the imagination, while the play rather leaves the impression that the Revolutionary heroes devoted their time chiefly to love and carried on the war as an incidental matter.
The play will be repeated to night.

TWO FELLOWSHIPS.
Open to Students in Department of Geology.
Prof. Erasmus $ ^{a} $ Haworth has received the announcement of a fellowship in geology, at Princeton University and an industrial fellowship at the University of North Dakota.
The Princeton fellowship will require work to be done in some special line in geology and special work on the investigation of high grade clays will be required in the fellowship from North Dakota.
"These fellowships," said Prof. Haworth, this morning, "each carry with them $400. I should be glad to recommend some of our students for these fellowships. It is a splendid opportunity for a student interested in geology."
Professor Humble lectured last Friday night at Pleasant Oak school house, near Clearfield, to a chapter of the Anti-Horsethief association. He also conducted an informal discussion on legal principles.

HELD LAST MEETING
Prof. A. J. Boynton Spoke to the Good Government Club.
The Good Government club held its regular bi-weekly meeting at the Sigma Chi House last night. Professor Arthur J. Boynton gave a short talk on the tariff.
Among other things, Professor Boynton said that he believed in the establishment of a permanent tariff board, and the entire removal of the tariff from the realm of politics. He also described the manner in which, under the present system, manufacturers lay their wants before congress and have their side of the question discussed without reference to the long-suffering consumer. He also stated that he believed the ordinary man is in no way qualified to pass judgment on any sort of a tariff.
This will probably be the last meeting of the Good Government club this year.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME VI.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL 16, 1910
NUMBER 80
TOOK ANOTHER FROM INDIANS
YESTERDAY'S BASEBALL GAME WAS EASY VICTORY.
Each Team Got Seven Hits, but the Jayhawkers Slugged the Ball the Most Timely.
Kansas won the deciding game from the Haskell Indians yesterday by a score of 6 to 2. The story was told in the very first inning, when the Ebrights to a fancy to Means' slants and pounded him all over the lot. Before the bombardment had ceased, four K. U. pastimers had crossed the pan.
After the first inning the game was a fairly even affair. The crack redskin pitcher settled to his work and allowed only two more scores to slip across. Heizer, who was on the elevation for the red and blue, pitched ball all the time and the Indians had trouble locating him when hits meant runs.
The field was slow as a result of the showers earlier in the day, but in spite of the fact that this prevented the fastest kind of baseball, the exhibition the locals put up was by no means a bad one. Shortstopper Hanlon was especially successful in picking up the muddy sphere and heaving it fast and true to the initial sack. Haller was the batting wonder of the K. U. bunch. Twice he pounded the pill for two bases when the hits meant scores for the local ball tossers. Muri was the sticking star for the Indians.
Each pitcher allowed seven hits. Means struck out eight men. Heizer was close on his heels with six strikers stung.
HE HAS A THEORY.
Professor Cady Explains the Earthquake Rrcords Here.
The quake which the seismograph recorded here has been traced to its origin, if the opinion of Professor Cady is correct. A report from Costa Rico, dated Thursday morning, reports a quake extending from 3 o'clock Wednesday morning over a space of an hour and a half. If the report had been delayel in transmission, which is highly probable, it is very likely the one which was recorded here.
Another way the matter could be explained is that a large quake at sea, which did no damage, was followed by the quake on land which was reported by Costa Rica. The first quake was the one reported by the University seismograph.
TO BE A CLASSY MEET.
Inter-Class Contest Will Be of Much Interest This Year.
As the date for the annual interclass meet approaches, interest in the result is increasing among the track athletes of the different classes.
Coach Hamilton said this morning: "This is going to be the closest and prettiest meet ever held at the University. It will be classy too. All the records made will be ones to be proud of. The half mile race will be a "hum-dinger." I would hate to prophesy as to who will win but I think it lies between the freshmen and the seniors.
Haddock will probably captain the seniors, Rice the juniors, and French the sophomores. The freshmen have not yet chosen their leader.
On account of the delay in electing men who can take charge of such things, Coach Hamilton believes that captains for all kinds of class athletics should be chosen in the fall at the time of the general election of class officers.
NEBRASKA'S CHARGES.
Intimates Something Is Wrong With Kansas Team.
The Daily Nebraskan for April 13 has the following paragraph concerning the cancellation of the baseball games between Nebraska and Kansas:
"The reasons given by Kansas for cancelling the dates was that she would not play against a team which allowed professionals to play. Nebraska, knowing that several of the men have played summer baseball will not certify to an all non-professional team Kansas, on the other hand, certificates to all of her team. As it is practically certain that some of the members of the Kansas team have played summer ball, the statement as to Kansas having an all non-professional team is considered in baseball circles to have little weight."
REGENTS HAVE A LARGE TASK
Mechanical Engineers Met.
At a meeting of the Mechanical Engineering society, held at 1301 Ohio street, Thursday evening, the Journal of the American Society was discussed by Walter Bobns tengel, a senior engineer, and M. C. Conley, a junior engineer.
Registrar Foster announced this morning that the catalog would be shipped from the state printer's office on Tuesday of next week and be ready for distribution the last of the week.
Catalog Soon.
WILL SETTLE TWO VITAL QUESTIONS NEXT WEEK.
Fraternity Problem Will Be Handled Monday—Tuesday the Football Problem Comes Up.
Two things of vital importance to the University of Kansas are to be decided by the Board of Regents Monday and Tuesday of next week.
At the meeting of the Regents to be held here Monday the question of the fraternity pledging system, which was raised some time ago by Chancellor Frank Strong, will be discussed. Over two hundred students are interested in the outcome. Tuesday at Kansas City the fate of football will be determined. Every student and professor in the University is deeply concerned.
A committee composed of a man from each of the eight fraternities will meet the Board of Regents Monday and explain to them their attitude on the pledging plan as suggested by the Chancellor. Each fraternity will endeavor to set forth arguments which will show that it would be impossible for the effective use of the sytem. The system advocated is not to pledge members to the fraternities or sororities until they have completed a year's work in the University in good standing.
They Cling to Old Promise.
The fraternities base their hopes on the promise by the committee on fraternities from the Board of Regents last fall, that they would not be molested if they could raise their standard of scholarship equal to, or better than, the non-fraternity standing. This was done, as was shown by the Registrar's recent investigation. The sororites will plead that they should not be classed with the fraternities.
The Fate of Football.
A majority of the members of the University board have expressed themselves as in favor of the retention of the game under the new rules. None of the Board want to abolish the game here unless a majority of the Conference schools are in favor of it. Kansas will not take any radical steps without the approval of the other schools.
Tuesday morning the Board of Regents will go from here to Kansas City where they are to meet the boards of control of other schools of the Missouri Valley to discuss the football situation. An attempt will be made to abolish the game of football. If this fails some sort of a conciliation between the various views as to the right stand to take with regard to the game will be attempted. The sentiment of the other schools of the valley is not definitely known. Iowa is against football. Missouri wants a change and Nebraska and Washington Universities seem to be rather indifferent.
THE WEATHER.
Fair tonight and Sunday; frost tonight.
BANQUET GREAT SUCCESS.
Members of Sigma Xi Had Heaps of Fun at Annual Affair.
The members of the Sigma Xi honorary scientific society gave their annual banquet last night in the basement of Snow hall.
About eighty plates were set, and the assembly was made up nearly half of students and holders of fellowships, and other half of the members of the faculty, who are members of the society.
The members of the Y. W. C. A. served the dinner. The feature of the dinner was the menu which was written entirely in Latin.
Prof. C. E. McClung was master of ceremonies and after the dinner was served the fun of the evening commenced.
Prof. McClung and Prof. Bailey told a few stories and Dr. E H. Schorer followed with a sidesplitting automobile sight-seeing trip. In this he was assisted by about six men and the mystery of the evening was the fact that the assistants were so covered and disguised that the onlookers were unable to find out whether they were students or professors.
The members of the faculty are today chuckling to themselves, thinking of the old times when the "It" society used to get together annually and have a frolic similar to that of last night.
The society was founded in 1888 and then merely for a good time socially. Annually the professors got together with students and the former lost their class-room dignity. This old custom was kept up until 1905, when the Sigma Xi took its place. Since then, even, this custom has been kept up.
Mrs. C. L. MeClung and daughter, Mrs. W. R. Childs, returned to Kansas City Friday evening, after visiting a few days with her son, Prof.' C. E. McClung. On Thursday Mrs. Childs addressed a meeting of the local Civic Improvement league in connection with the "Clean-Up" day planned by the ladies to be held in Lawrence today. Mrs. Childs has had experience in similar efforts in Kansas City, Kan.
Mrs. Younggreen of Topcka visited her son Charles this week and saw The Redcoat performed.
GOV. STUBBS IS FOR FOOTBALL
AND THE AMERICAN GAME LOOKS GOOD TO HIM.
Student Committee Is Busy Lining Up the Regents for the American Game.
W. R. Stubbs, Governor of Kansas, spoke cheering words to the students' committee which visited him yesterday to talk over the football situation.
"The old American game is good enough for me," said the governor to R. L. Douglas, Carrol Lord and Carl Pleasant, the members of the committee. After the Governor had thus indicated his position on the band wagon, he went on to say that he would like to see the roughness of the game lessened a bit, and every precaution taken against risking life. He said he thought the English game was all right, but that his knowledge of it was not great enough to enable him to compare it with American football.
"I like all the clean American sports," said Mr. Stubbs. "I think it is all right to have them so constituted that they bring out all there is in a man. The things to watch out for are to keep the game clean and not extra-hazardous."
The Governor said in taking leave of the committee that the abolition or retention of football in any institution was outside his duties and rested with the governing boards.
Swinging Round the Circle
For the purpose of getting the views of the Regents on the question before the meeting Monday, the committee went to Hutchinson last night to interview Regent W. Y. Morgan. From Hutchinson the three men will go to Lyons to talk with Regent Foley. Regent Hopkins was interviewed on the subject when he was in Lawrence Thursday night. He gave the committee a statement which indicates that he will vote to retain American football.
Will Edit a Real Paper.
The journalism class at Ohio Wesleyan will edit an entire issue of the Journal-Herald of Delaware, Ohio. All news, editorials and market reports will be governed by the class.

Preparations for the annual French play, which will be given in Robinson gymnasium tonight, have been completed. The French play will be preceded by a Spanish play as a curtain raiser.

A CHANGE OF FRONT.
The longer the agitation over football is kept up, the more favorable the situation grows for the retention of the game. Football is referred to as a "problem" mostly by men who have not the most intimate connection with the sport. Those who have the closest knowledge of the game feel hopeful that whatever faults it has can be eliminated, and they have reason to feel hopeful in view of the progress of that kind that has been made in the past ten years.
As the football problem stands now it is less of a "problem" than would result from the abolition of the game. The question of what would take the place of football is one that no one has yet appeared to answer. The university authorities recognize the value of the fall game as an aid in working the transformation of the new students from an unorganized mass into loyal members of the University body. It seems now that the best solution of the football problem is to keep on playing football and to make such changes in the game as it appears to need from time to time.
The annual Music Festival is one of the University events which all students of the University should make a special effort to attend. The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra is one of the best in the United States. The program which will be given has been chosen with the greatest care. The soloists are all of wide reputation. It is probably true that students, like the American people as a whole, care too little for good music. An opportunity like the present to broaden one's means of enjoying life should not be neglected.
SOPHOMORE PROM PLANS.
Committee Has Drafted Regula tions for the Party.
The music for the sophomore prom, May 13, will be furnished by Harry Kelly's six-piece orchestra. The music will be arranged by Mr. Kelly from the songs sung in the farce.
The sophomores in their entertainment of the seniors and faculty members of the University, plan to equal anything ever given at the University. Rapid progress is being made with the farce, under the direction of Miss Mossler. The seniors and members of the faculty will receive their invitations within the next week or two
The prom committee is not sat isfied with the way dates are coming in. So far, only a few dates have been turned in. All should be in by April 20, the members of the committee say.
The committee has made the following regulations regarding the prom :
All senior girls are entitled to all the privileges of the prom. Also all senior men who have paid their fees when sophomores, but those senior men who did not pay their fee may attend the prom on payment of $1.50.
Each sophomore boy and girl is expected to pay the finance committee the regular fee of $2.50.
All second year students o those who have sophomores stance from other schools will be classified as sophomores.
All seniors and sophomores who are attended by other than sophomores or seniors will be expected to see that the regular fee of their attendant is paid.
All dates should be handed to and tickets received from: Geo. Stuckey, Don MaKay, George Greever, Ike Lambert, Ralph Johnson, Everett Brummage, and Edmund Rhodes.

The Games Progressing Slowly— Busy Times Next Week.
FRATERNITY BASEBALL.
Next Monday the Alpha Taus and Phi Delts will play their postponed game. Tuesday the Phi Gams and Phi Psis will decide their game and Thursday the Phi Gams will meet the Alpha Taus. Wednesday afternoon the Sig Alphs and Sigma Nus are booked for their tangle. Saturday morning the Sigma Chi-Sig Alpha tie will be played off.
The series of fraternity baseball games has been seriously hampered thus far, by accidents, darkness and rainy weather. Only one game of the four which were to have been played by the end of this week has been decided Last week the Betas won from the Sigma Nus. The Phi Psis and Phi Gams started their game, but injuries to two of the Phi Psi players necessitated the calling off of the game. This week the Sigma Chis and Sig Alphs played an 8-inning game to a tie, when the game was called off on account of darkness. The Phi Delts and Alpha Taus were to have played Thursday afternoon, but rain prevented them.
The Girls' Tennis Association of the University has arranged a schedule so that a part of the members of the Association will play daily on the court back of D. L. Rowland's Book Store. So far, this is the only court that the Association has been able to secure, although a petition is now before the Chancellor requesting that several more be built on McCook field.

GASTON TO THE RESCUE.
Topela Capital Writer Has Some Thoughts on Football.
J. E. House of the Topeka Capital, who writes under the name of "Dodd Gaston," relieved his mind in the Capital this morning on the subject of football. Mr. House is something of a rooter himself. Last year he attended nearly every big game the University of Kansas team played In his column "On Second Thought," in the Capital, he says;
It seems to us that the proposition to abolish football at the University of Kansas—for that is what the substitution of the Rugby game amounts to—is unfair and indefensible. If there is any considerable demand for the abolition of the game at the university we haven't heard it, and we have a seat tolerably close to the rostrum. On the other hand the state has many thousands of football devotees who are enthusiastically for the sport. It is not too much to say that the sentiment of those at all interested in outdoor sports is overwhelmingly in favor of the retention of the game. The two regents who are making the fight against football are not interested in the sport. Neither of them, we believe, ever attended the games and neither, we believe, pretends to have any expert knowledge of the pastime. Under the circumstances, isn't it barely possible

that they are allowing their personal prejudices to actuate them in this fight. The judgment of thousands of the followers of the sport is that it should go on. The judgment of two regents, neither of whom pretends to any expert knowledge of the sport, is that it should stop. Is football getting a fair deal? Have two men elothed with a little brief power; the moral right to force upon the thousands of followers of the game a condition that is distasteful? We doubt it. In fact it is our notion that old Joe Cannon who was sealped the other day amid shouts of wild acclaim, never attempted a thing more arbitrary or unjust.
AN APRIL PICNIC RECORD.
A Botany I Class Was Caught in Seven Showers.
The class in Botany I holds a new record in the pinching line. An excursion into the country Thursday lasted through seven separate, distinct showers. The class is composed of sixty members and though they are mostly girls, the marathon for home was, to say the least, almost phenomenal. Wire fences and flooded ditches offered slight obstruction to the city lasses, who took the hurdles like professionals. A motion by Professor Stevens "in favor of its not having rained at all" was carried unanimously in spite of dripping feathers and a general telltale effect of dampness. The trip was not altogether in vain, since loads of violets picked by relays, as it were, crowned the returning heroes and heroines.

Prof. E. H. S. Bailey spoke on the subject "Something Worth While." Professor Bailey discussed the ambitions of students that fail to mean the most to them in the end, such as ambitions for money and power. These motives are entirely selfish and unworthy, he said. The things worth while are to have friends and make efforts to be useful.

HE FAVORS AN HONOR SYSTEM
PROF. ROGERS SPEAKS FOR PRINCETON PLAN.
A Joint Committee From Student Council is Gathering Data Upon Various Honor Systems.
The adoption of the honor system in examinations is being considered at the University of Kansas. A joint committee of the Student Council for men and women is obtaining information on the success of the system in other Universities. The system which has been used at Princeton University for the past seventeen years is used as a model by the universities which have recently adopted the system.
A
Prof. D. C. Rogers, in the department of philosophy hereand a graduate of Princeton University, when asked about the success of the system there, said "The students look upon the home or system as having banished cheating from the class-room. The man who reports any case cribbing he sees is not looked down on by his class-mates, for they consider it as a duty of loyalty to the university. No one outside of the student course knows of the reporting."
Regarding the possibility for the success of such a system here Professor Rogers said, "I believe that the students of the University of Kansas do, as a body, have a keen appreciation of questions of honor,which would be essential to the success of an honor system If the students care enough about the honor system to give it their enthusiastic support at the start I see no reason why the system should not succeed here as well at other institutions."
H. H. FISKE IN CHAPEL
Haskell Superintendent Told of Indian Education Problem.
H. H. Fiske, superintendent of Haskell Institute, spoke in chapel yesterday on the Indian problem and the bearing of education upon it. Of the 300,000 Indians now living in the United States, only the younger generation will be influenced by education, as most of the adults will not learn new ways. Mr. Fiske believes that all things considered, the advance of the Indian people has been remarkable.
He gave in some detail the different arguments concerning the respective values of the reservation and the non-reservation schools. Though the latter cause the youth to grow apart from their people, the ultimate result was the desired upliftinfli influence on the race. He considered that the reservation schools were useful for the children, but that after they were about 14 years old are the non-reservation school would accomplish the most for them.
Mr. Fiske said that somewhat contrary to the general opinion the health of the Indian was improved by his adoption of the white man's life and the medical knowledge incident to it. The schools helped in this matter as well as in overcoming the superstition prevalent among the primitive Indians. There is among them no lack of caliber, but lack of cultivation.

WANTS GOOD OLD GAME
SO SAID DR. NAISMITH AT EMPORIA YESTERDAY.
Dr. Curtis Says Athletics Are a Disgrace to American Schools Physical Directors Society
Dr. James Naismith has taken a stand in favor of the American game of football and "the good old days of '95."
At a conference of physical directors of the different colleges of the state, held at Emporia Friday, Doctor Naismith, who presided at the conference, was the champion of the American game of football and lead the opposition to its abolition. Dr. H. S Curtis of Clark University, Worcester, Mass., president of the American Playground Association, was asked to speak on the subject of "football reform," in the absence of E. C. Quigley of St. Marys, who was on the program for a talk on that subject.
Athletics Are a Disgrace?
Athletics Are a Disgrace?
Doctor Curtis contended that all American athletics are a disgrace to the schools. The doctor said that he has never seen a sportsmanlike match of baseball or football. Rugby, he thinks, is too dangerous, and he advised the adoption of soccer in its place.
Physical Directors' Society.
The physical directors of all the Kansas Colleges were at Emporia, where the new $100,000 gymnasium—for the State Normal was dedicated. They decided to perfect a permanent organization and have regular meetings during the year. A committee made up of Miss Ada Heaton women's director at Baker; Dr Naismith, and P.S. Samson of the State Normal was chosen to draw up a constitution for the new society.
Pharmics to Kansas City.
About fifty students of the pharmacy classes will go to Kansas City Monday for their annual banquet given by the wholesale manufacturing druggists for them. This is the twentieth annual banquet, and dinner will be served at the Coates house at noon. The wholesale manufacturing houses will have everything open in the afternoon for the inspection of the students.
Miss Corbin entertained informally the Women's Student Council, the district chairmen and the patronesses of the districts at her home Thursday afternoon.
TALK WAS ENTERTAINING
Prof. Hudson Told of Passion Play and its Actors.
Before a large audience of students and professors of the University, Professor Jay William Hudson, of the University of Missouri, delivered an illustrated lecture on the Passion Play in chapel yesterday afternoon. Several Lawrence people are planning to see the production of the play, which is to be given in Ober Ammergan, Germany, next summer.
The Passion Play is given every ten years by the peasants of this famous little German village and it was in 1900 that Professor Hudson saw the production. He made a very close observation of it from a dramatic standpoint. In addition to this he has spent much time in a study of the conditions of the peasants, and of their country.
Professor Hudson told the story of the play in an extremely entertaining manner. To add interest to his talk he used many stereop tion views showing the best fea tures of the play.
Chi Omega Formal Party.
The members of the Chi Omega sorority gave their sixth spring party in Fraternal Aid hall last night. A novel feature of the party was that it began at 6 o'clock. The grand march, which started at 7 o'clock, was led by Professor and Mrs. Haworth.
The platform was decorated with palms and daisies. A three-course luncheon was served. The tables were decorated with yellow and white daisies. The favor dance was led by Miss Purdy, Miss Cramer and their escorts. The two Misses Degan gave out the favors which were red and white roses. The dancing ended at 1 o'clock. About 100 couples were present.
The names of the out-of-town guests follow: Mrs. Waugh, Eskridge; Mr. and Mrs. Sutton and Gail Sutton, Lyons; Misses Pearle Maser, Flossie Adler and Ina McKnight, Parsons; Miss Alice Campbell, Wichita; Miss Hazel Sanders, Galena; Misses Lucy and Hazel Burgess and Mr and Mrs. J.

Brown, Olathe.
--matic unity of the play is well developed.
"THE REDCOAT"
A Colonial Play by
Muriel Culp
The Phi Psis will give an informal party at Fraternal Aid Hall this evening.
The second performance of the "Redcoat," Miss Muriel Culp's play of Revolutionary times was given at the Bowersock opera house Thursday evening. At this last presentation the audience was rather more appreciative than at the first performance. As is generally the case with amateur productions the play went much more smoothly the second night than it did the first.
The play itself is a story of Washington's visit to his home at Mount Vernon just before the fateful lines of the allies were closing in about the beleaguered Yorktown. From the stressful scenes of war Washington came to enjoy the quietude of a few hours at home. Just before the arrival of Washington and his staff a redcoat lover of Richard Henry Lee's ward who is visiting at the Washington home comes to pay a visit to his sweetheart. He lingers too long for a last farewell and is entrapped by the colonial officers. The scenes attendant upon the redcoat capture and his subsequent escape with plans of the colonial campaign, through the aid of his faithful sweetheart, are the strongest in the play. The finale of the second act would do credit to a more pretentious play.
Miss Culp submitted the play to Professor F. G. Bates of the University for his opinion as to the historical correctness of the situations. Professor Bates said that in his opinion the play was a true reflection of Revolutionary conditions.
Miss Georgia Brown, who directed the play, said that she considered the play a clever production and that the dramatic unity of the play is well developed.
This is Miss Culp's second Colonial play. Her first play was written several years ago for the Salina high school. Her first play which attracted the attention of the University people was written last fall and presented by the Thespians. It was called "Father and the Frat."
Fred Cowles Party.
Professor Fred R. Cowles, on the University Preparatory School of Kansas City, will give a party at the Phi Delt house tonight for the active chapter of Phi Delta Theta and several of his out-of-town friends. In all ninety guests have been invited to come to the party. Those living out of town who will attend are: Misses Gay Shepherd, Amy Merstetter, Mary Buckles, Grace King, Olga Newlin, Mary Mervine, Sidney Cooke, Clifford Leonard, Hyden Eaton, Herbert Breidenthal, John Lovett, Frank Ellis, and Alfred Seddon, of Kansas City; Rose Mitchell, Alice Willard, and Leo Haughey, of Topeka; Geneva Wiley, of Emporia; and John Coyle, of Guthrie, Okla. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Berger and Miss Marie Berger will also be present.
Coach Hamilton witnessed the inter-scholastic track meet in Emporia yesterday, which was given under the management of the Normal College. About 15 high schools were represented.
Mrs. Crowe's Recital.
The last number of the music recital course was given Thursday evening in Fraser hall by Mrs. Frederick Crowe of Lawrence. Mrs. Crowe's skill as a pianist is well known here and she came up to all expectations. Her program was well selected and the numbers were of wide range.
NO FOOTBALL GAME.
Unless More Candidates Come
Our Practice Soon.
Coach Kennedy said this morning that there would be no game of football next week unless more players came out for practice.
"After the Rules Committee makes its final revision," said Dr. Kennedy, "I expect to go out with the men and work up two teams for an exhibition game."

JAMES BRYCE WILL SPEAK
STATESMAN COMING TO K U. NEXT WEEK.
Will Deliver a Lecture Thursday Evening and Will Speak at Friday Morning Chapel.
James Bryce, British Ambassador to the United States, and author of "The American Commonwealth," has accepted an invitation to be the guest of the University of Kansas and will make two addresses at the University next week, April 28 and 29. A public lecture will be given Thursday evening on some topic of political interest. On Friday morning Ambassador Bryce will address the students at the regular chapel exercises. During the Ambassador's stay, a banquet will be given in his honor, at which the University Regents and a number of state officials will be present.
Negotiations with Ambassado Bryce have been carried on all winter by Prof. J. E. Boodin, to arrange for a visit to the University. Prof. Jesse Maey of Grinnell College, a close friend of Ambassador Bryce, joined in urging the British statesman and author to come to the West. Ambassador Bryce will stop at Grinnell to deliver an address before coming to the University of Kansas and after concluding his visit to the University will speak before the Knife and Fork club at Kansas City. Professor Maey will be company the Ambassador on his trip to Kansas.
Following is a letter to Professor Boodin, in which the visit to the University is discussed. :
"My Dear Sir: As you naturally wish to know as soon as possible whether I can accept your and your Chancellor's kind invitation to visit the University at Lawrence, I write to say that I find it will be possible to come if I come a little earlier than I had previously determined. Official business makes it necessary for me to be back in Washington by the first, or at the very latest by the second of May, so I am cutting short the rest of my tour in order to visit your University and Grinnell College. My hope and wish will be to reach Lawrence from Grinnell on the 28th of April. I can stay there till the afternoon of the 29th, or perhaps if you so wish, till the morning of the 30th; that is, if the friends in Kansas City, who wish to receive me there, will be satisfied if I reach Kansas City pretty early on the 30th, and if they allow me to start back for Washington by a night train on the 30th.
"May I ask you to be good enough to telegraph to me if these arrangements suit you? I fear they are the only arrangements I can make, as I must be back in Washington by May 2 at the latest.—I am yours very truly,
JAMES BRYCE.
To Elect Captain.
The captain of the freshman track team will be elected tomorrow. The election will be held on McCook, at 3:30.
SIG ALPHS WERE SUED
Landlady Asks $115 for Rent and Damage to House.
NUMBER 81
Suit has been brought against the members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity by their landlady, Mrs. Anna R. Brownlee, for the sum of $115, being for rent and damages to the house, which amount she alleges they refuse to pay.
The trouble arose over a bill for plumbing put in the house at 1345 Vermont street, during the month of February. When the bill was presented to Mrs. Brownlee by the plumber she refused to pay it, saying that the fraternity should pay the bill. The fraternity later paid the plumber, but deducted the amount from the March rent. Mrs. Brownlee, however, refused to accept the rent minus the amount of the bill. She then took the matter up with Chancellor Strong and when he refused to interfere, brought suit in Justice Brook's court.
When asked, this morning, in regard to the matter one of the members of the fraternity said. "When the plumbing became defective we called Mrs. Brownlee up by phone and she told us to get a plumber to put in the necessary repairs and she would pay the bill. We did so and when she received the bill she thought it was too much and refused to pay it. We paid the bill and tendered her the rent minus the plumber's bill, with the receipted plumbing bill attached. This she would not accept.
"We know that we are in the right and have decided to fight it to the end. It is wholly unjust and unreasonable that we pay for permanent repairs put into the house. We pay high rent for the house and repairs became necessary because of the age of the house and reasonable wear and from no fault of ours. Furthermore the rent has been deposited to her account every month in advance and she has at ready accepted the rent for this month."
The landlady, on the other hand, says that the rent has not been paid and that she will push the suit unless settlement is made today. She claims that she has been mistreated and that the house has been given rough use age.
"No exhibit game of new style football will be played upon McCook field until after the final revision of the National Rules Committee," said Captain Pleasant this morning. "From thirty-five to forty men are out in suits and if the game is not taken away from us we will develop two teams that will give a good representation of the revised game."
No Game This Week.
The report will be submitted at the meeting of the Missouri Valley conference, which is being held in Kansas City today and is expected to affect the decision of the meeting to a considerable extent.
Frank Yoeman of Kingman, visited his cousin Don. a senior in the college yesterday.
FOR FOOTBALL IN THE VALLEY
RESOLUTION TO ABOLISH WAS DEFEATED.
Vote by Boards Unanimous—But Two M. U. and Three Kansas Regents Were for Resolution.
Special to Kansan.
Kansas City, April 19.—A resolution to abolish all football in the Missouri Valley after December, 1910, lost by a unanimous vote of boards of the different schools at the conference here today. The vote of individuals however, was not unanimous three of the Kansas representatives and two from Missouri voting for the adoption of the resolution.
The representatives met at the Coates House this morning. All of the schools of the Missouri Valley were represented. The Conference was called to order by Chancellor Frank Strong of Kansas. Those present from the University of Kansas were Regents White, Morgan, Cambern, Foley, Gleed and Hopkins. All of the curators of the University o Missouri were also present. President A. Ross Hill of Missouri, was, however, unable to be here.
WAS A TIE VOTE.
Three Favored American Foot ball—Three Opposed It.
The resolution to abolish the game was discussed in executive session behind closed doors before the vote was taken. There seems, however, to be considerable sentiment among the delegates present against the abolition of football or the adoption of Rugby.
The football situation at the University of Kansas was discussed thoroughly by the members of the Board of Regents at a meeting held in the office of Chancellor Frank Strong last night. After all of the different points which have been raised during the controversy of the past three weeks were discussed a vote of the regents present was taken to determine the attitude of the University at the Conference in Kansas City today. The result of the voting was that three of the regents present stood for the retention of the American game and three for the adoption of Rugby.
No action in the form of a resolution to adopt Rugby had been adopted up until a late hour this afternoon.
Those who favored American football were: Chancellor Strong and Regents Hopkins and Morgan. Those who favored Rugby were: Regents White, Cambern and Foley.
THE WEATHER.
Fair tonight and Wednesday. Showers in east portion; warmer Wednesday.
TO MEET WASHBURN.
Ebright's Men to Play Two Games This Week.
Next Friday Ebright's cohorts will invade the state capital and engage in the first struggle for two years with the rah,rah boys who are seeking the higher education at Washburn. Baseball relations have been broken with the Congregationalists for two years but this year soothing syrup applied in large doses has had its effects and the horse hide chasers from both schools will meet on the Washburn field Friday.
As if to show the amiability exiting between the two teams, the very next day, Saturday, our local devotees of the national ports will play the host to the Washburnites on McCook.
JUNIORS RESPOND SLOWLY
Coach Ebright has not yet announced the line-up of his men for either game, but it is almost certain that the infield will be the same as in former games. In the out-field Haller and Smith are sure of their jobs as garden keepers, but the guardianship of center-field is still in doubt, with the juggle going on between Wilhelm, Harvey, and Larson. The pitching staff is going good and any one of the regular slingers may be used, with the indications pointing towards Farrell or Locke for the first game.
Committee Desires Prompt Payment of Prom Dues.
Work on the Junior Prom is being delayed because of the fact that juniors are slow in paying their dues. The finance committee urgently desires that every person who has not yet paid his dues shall do so within the next two days. Dues may be paid at Mass Graham, chairman; Roy Gillman, Alan Park, Spencer Baird, Robert Fischer, John Parker, Miss Grace Elmore, Miss Anna Williams, and Miss Agnes Husband.
TO BE NO RESTRICTIONS.
Against Fraternities Pledging Freshmen Students.
After receiving the scholarship report of the different fraternities of the University at their meeting last night, the regents refused to take action with regard to pledging regulations for the Greek letter organizations.
Yesterday afternoon representatives from all of the fraternities met the Board of Regents and presented to them the reasons why the fraternity men be lieve there should be no sophomore pledigng rule. Their principle argument was the fact that the scholarship of the fraternity men during the fall term of this year was above that of non-fraternity students.
SENIOR PLAY CAST CHOSEN
FIRST REHEARSAL HELD LAST NIGHT.
Sixteen Members of Graduating Class Will Appear in Drama Written by Class Members.
The final tryout for and first rehearsal of the Senior Play cast was held last night in Miss Gertrude Mossler's studio in the Dick building. At that time the cast of characters for the annual senior production was announced and work upon the play begun.
The title of the play has not yet been announced and for reasons best known to the play committee will not be announced for some time. The plot is also being kept a secret, although it is understood that as usual the play deals with a local setting, but is nevertheless, different from any previous senior play.
The play was written by members of the play committee, including Vale Nanee, J. E. Miller Harold Harlan, Irwin Snattinger Miss Helen Janes, Miss Edith Lawson and Miss Gail Sutton. Work is being pushed rapidly and regular rehearsals will be held until the middle of next month, when the play will be given. The cast follows:
Aunt Deborah Channing—Laurenia Shaw; Elsie Winsett—Pearle Stuckey; Mollie Henderson—Mary Jones; Margaret Channing—Edna Hopkins; Bess—Maude Brown; The Maid—Gileten Rankin; Jack Logan—Vale Nanee; J. Alexander Channing—Ralph Spotts; Nathan Winsett—Lyman Guise; Bert Summers—Carl Eddy; Paul Templeton—Harry Rogers; Herbert Green—Roy Dietrich; Bill Henderson—Earl Miller; Harold Longwell—Herbert Cowan; Jerry—Tom Stephenson; Mike, Richard Adams.
HOW STUDENTS MAY HELP.
Spring Town-Cleaning Now Is Going on in Lawrence.
A movement was started in Lawrence Saturday to clean up the town—that is, to remove from the streets, parkings and private property all rubbish and refuse which defies the beauty of the place. It has been suggested by some of the town people who are interested in the clean-up that students can help in the movement by refraining from throwing scraps of paper and other litter upon the streets.
This, it would seem, is a very modest request to make of the students. It indicates how they may easily help to keep Lawrence a beautiful town the remainder of the school year.
Will Hold Initiation.
Alpha Chi Sigma, the new chemical fraternity, will hold initiation for the following new members tomorrow night. W. E Vawter, Edmund Rhodes, Charles Robinson, P. M. Godfrey, J. F. McKay, Edward Kohman, Fred Faragher, G. A. Bragg, Frank Tillotson. The initiation will be followed by a banquet.

TIME TO GET BUSY
One sometimes hears it said as a criticism of the University that too much is done for the students of the institution—that they are not allowed to manage enough of their own affairs. One way for the students to obtain a wider management of student affairs would be for them to show a keen interest in matters now under their direction.
Who will bring out some candi dates for the Student Council?
The coming of Ambassador Bryce to the University is a matter of felicitation, for many reasons. It is the crowning achievement in a year in which many distinguished and able men have visited the Universitqy and enriched its life. It will bring the University into prominence as an institution which, more than most

western institutions, has intimate relations with the great thinkers in the busy world of today. But best of all will be the opportunity for the students of a typical western commonwealth, to see and hear the man who has written most sympathetically and wisely of American government—who has been the best interpreter of American institutions to American students.
A Paper's Life Depends on It, Says W. A. White.
"It is only natural for an advertiser to go as far as he can in pressing his views upon the editor of a newspaper where there is a piece of news which he wants written a certain way," said William Allen White in a talk before the sophomore class in journalism yesterday morning. "A big advertiser easily gets the notion that he is helping to support the paper as an act of charity, and therefore has an interest in the news columns as well as in the space in which his advertisement appears.
"The editor's life in his community depends upon his maintaining his editorial independence. It is up to him to show that the ideas in his paper are his own. If he lets the advertiser 'bluff' him, people will be sure to find it out. He had better pull up stakes and start over again in another town, for from that time on he will lose his identity and be come known as smoebody else's representative."
Mr. White told of how he had made trouble for himself by freely printing accounts of rows in church choirs, and the like, in Emporia. ) The opera house advertising was stopped for awhile, he said, because a play was 'roasted;' but the owner of the opera house resumed advertising when he found that the reporter wrote as many good notices when he paid his way to see the show as when he had a pass. "If you try to punish the advertiser who has tried to boss you, you put yourself in the wrong," said Mr. White. "From his point of view what he is doing is all right. You must treat him as fairly after he stops his advertising as when he was paying for space in the paper."

A FRIEND OF STUDENTS.
Mr. Sage Had Great Interest in University.
In the passing of Mr. Henry W Sage at the home of his daughter Mrs. F. A. Wilber, last Saturday the students of the University lost a very sincere friend. Mr. Sage came to Lawrence in November 1905, within a few months of the time that Dr. F. A. Wilber assumed the duties of student pastor. From that time until his death he was vitally interested in the students and all that concerned them. Probably no one in the city not directly connected with the University was oftener seen in Fraser hall and the library than was Mr. Sage. The tall stately figure and the distinguished face of the perfect gentleman invariably attracted the admiration of all he met.
Not only did Mr. Sage regularly attend the public lectures and the special chapel exercises, but he was deeply interested in the athletic life of the school. He attended the athletic contests and the musical entertainments and was ever thoroughly interested in the students themselves. Before coming to Lawrence Mr. Sage had been actively engaged in business in Cincinnati, where he was the secretary of a large gas company. Though not a college graduate his sympathies were so completely with the students here that they were continually on his mind and his association with them was a great pleasure to him.

CLASS OF '75 MAKES GIFT
CONTRIBUTES $28 TO STU DENTS' LOAN FUND.
The First Gift in Accordance With a Plan Suggested by Miss Kate Stephens, '75.
The Students' Loan Fund has been increased by $28, the gift of members of the class of 1875. Prof. Wilson Sterling, custodian of the Fund, last week received the money from Miss Kate Stephens of New York. The contributors to the fund are Miss Stephens, Mrs. I. S. Blackwelder cf Chicago, Frank P. MacLennan of Topeka, and W. S. Herrick of Warsaw, Ind.
The sum was collected by Miss Stephens in accordance with a plan which she outlined in a communication to the Graduate Magazine in December. Systematic giving by University graduates to worthy and needy University causes is contemplated in the plan. Miss Stephens suggested that each graduate give $1 for each five year period he had been out of the University, the purpose of the gift to be determined by vote of his class. Miss Stephens found that the Students' Loan Fund was short of money, so she went ahead and raised a contribution, following the plan she had suggested, among her classmates of the class of 1875. The class of '75 has been out of the university thirty-five years; therefore the sum contributed by each donor to the fund was $7.
Several applications for loan from the Fund are on file. The $28 from the class of '75 will help make the way to graduation easier for some deserving student.

THE ROMANCE PLAYS.
Were Given Before Large Audience Saturday Night.
The Kansan's high-priced dramatic critic, who, by the way is a good deal of a grouch, doesn't understand French and Spanish very well. Besides, he was all worn out as the result of a recent attempt, so a new man was sent to "cover" the French and Spanish plays in Robinson gymnasium Saturday evening. The reporter is a student in the department. Naturally, he wished to write an account that was warranted to give satisfaction all around. The regular critic, though he didn't see the plays, protested against the account the reporter handed in, saying that he wouldn't have done it that way. But reason prevailed and he was eliminated. This is the new critic's story:
"Acting their lines like professionals and speaking their Spanish or French like their mother tongue, the students of the department of Romance languages scored a hit last Saturday night in the tenth annual dramatic production of this department.
"El Sueno Dorado," or "A Dream of Gold," a comedy in one act, was presented by students in the Spanish department. This is a delightful selection and the parts were well taken. Lewis Smith as Don Gumersindo, showed marked ability as an actor and received good support in Edna Oakley and Martha Bartels, acting as his wife and daughter. Moneta Butts as Micaele, the servant, and Harry Gondy at Saturnino were well received. Edward Taylor as Ramon was especially good and gave a good interpretation of his part.
"At the end of this play, a delightful feature was introduced. The stage was turned into a reception hall and a number of our beautiful Sunflower maidens and handsome Jayhawk youths were the guests. Beautiful gowns for the girls and real dress suits for the boys made a pretty stage picture and when the feature of the evening was introduced—Mr Benjamin Leventhal, violinist,and Lenna Ridenour, accompaniment—a picture of the typical musicale was given. Mr. Leventhal gave delightful renditions of the Hungarian rhapsody, "Fantaise de Concert," from Faust, "To a Wild Rose," and the "Flower Song."
Immediately following this the French play "Moi," in three acts, was given. As in the Spanish play, the ease with which the action was carried on in French marked this performance. Martin Brooks Reis Ryland, and Lewis Buxton took the leading parts and were well supported by the remainder of the cast. Agnes Conrad replaced Clara Osgood as Madame de Verrieres and took the part well, although she had only twenty-four hours' notice. The humorous acting of W. L. Beauchamp as Aubin, the servant, was especially commendable. The cast for this play was:
Dutrecy, a rich bachelor, Martin Kahao Brooks; Armand Bernier, his nephew, Reis Joseph Ryland; Therese, his niece, Katherine Louise Martin, De la Porcheraie, a capitalist, Lewis Augustine Buxton; Fromental, a banker, Edmund Dresser Cressman; Georges Fromental, his son, Joseph Treusseld Marshall; Madame de Verries, his daughter, Clara Louise Osgood; Fourcinier, a doctor, La Vergne Dale. Cyprienne, a servant, Lois Harger; Aubin, a servant, Wilbur Lee Beau
About 400 students and faculty members saw the two plays.

SIMPLIFIED SPELLING.
Professor Jackson's Chapel Talk This Morning.
Prof. H. L. Jackson spoke in chapel this morning on simplified spelling and the methods advanced to secure its use in this country.
Prof. Jackson said, "Though the need for it has long been recognized by the general public, how to accomplish anything was not known until the organization of the Simplified Spelling board in New York in 1906. Among the thirty-nine members of the board were twelve editors, four chancellors, and seven professors. Fortunately for the finances of the scheme, Andrew Carnegie was a member of the board and he it was who furnished funds for the circulation of literature."
The circulars prepared by various members of the board have contained lists of words with suggested changes in spelling. The list of 300 has been adopted at least in part by many people. Professor Jockson mentioned several classes of words which it seemed might very properly be changed.
In 1908 an advisory council of 165 educators from over the country was elected to assist the board in suggesting changes in words. Prof. W. H. Carruth is the representative from Kansas. Professor Jackson suggested that University students might help to make the English language predominant in the world by encouraging simple spelling. He had printed data concerning the movement which he distributed to interested students at the close of his talk.
MUSIC FESTIVAL ITEMS.
The piano to be used at the Festival is a Chickering concert grand, sent from Kansas City by Carl Hoffman. It is the instrument used by Busoni, the great Italian pianist, in his recent recital.
Every year some member of the Fine Arts faculty appears with the orchestra at the Festival, comparing favorably with the visiting artists. This year Prof. Hubach and Prof. Preyer will appear. In previous years Miss Greissinger and Miss Cooke have appeared as pianists, Prof. Skilton as conductor and composer.
The concerts are to begin promptly on the hour announced Thursday at 8:30, Friday at 2:30 and 8:15. The audience are asked to be in their seats at that time.

OLD PLAYERS FOR FOOTBALL
DR NAISMITH HEARS FROM SIXEY MEN.
Few Serious Injuries Reported,
While Benefits Received Were
Very Numerous.
Dr. James Naismith last evening submitted his report on American football, compiled from data received from alumni football players, to the Board of Regents The report is made up of the answers to the questions which were contained in letters sent to the old K. U. players by Dr. Naismith, some time ago.
The result of the investigation shows that not only the players themselves are in favor of the retention of the American style of play, but that the general feeling over the entire state is in favor of the playing of the popular sport at Kansas City. Not a man, who answered the letters opposed American football, but the majority favored a revision of the rules, saying that they believed some of the evil features should be eliminated.
"The answers are the most in telligent I ever received with regard to such a subject," said Dr Naismith this afternoon. "Every man showed that he had spent time thinking out each question and all of them answered in a sane manner. There is not a reply which shows any rah-rah spirit it."
The sixty former players who answered the communication from among the 200 sent out,show a similar trend of thought in all of the answers. The first question inquiring why the men had engaged in the game was answered by the sentence, "Because I liked the game," The second question developed the fact that while a good many had been injured during their football career at the University, none were seriously hurt. The recoveries from all of the injuries were in each instance said to have been complete and no ill effects have since come from those injuries.
The question "What benefits did you personally receive from the game?" brought so many replies that in many cases the meridid not have room on the answer blanks to write down the benefits they had received, and wrote peronal letters to enumerate them.

answer, however, was the one to the question. "What is the attitude of the people of your town toward the game?" The report shows that there are very few objections urged by the people of the state in general. Those objections are not serious and include roughness, danger, and commercial spirit in the sport.

VOLUME VI.
"NEBRASKAN" MAKES CHARGE
SAYS PROFESSIONALS PLAY BALL AT K. U.
Gives Names of Men, Most of Whom Have Graduated and Left School.
The "Daily Nebraskan," the official student publication of the University of Nebraska, has opened an attack upon the eligibility of the Kansas baseball men. In an article printed in that paper on Tuesday, April 19, the statement was made that the Cornhusker athletic board is working in an effort to show that the majority of the members of this spring's University team are, according to the conference rules governing baseball, ineligible to play.
A
Several men are named as ineligible because of their having played with salaried teams. Among them are Moss and Johnson. As far as any one at the University who is connected with athletics knows, Kansas never had a baseball player named Moss. There is a Mosse in this part of the country, who once attended the University, but he is none other than Arthur St. Leger Mosse, assistant football coach. As far as baseball is concerned it is a stranger to Mosse, as every one here knows.
(
The Johnson referred to is probably Tommy Johnson, the star Kansas quarterback, who ran ninety yards down Nebraska's football field last fall, carrying the pigskin with him for a touchdown. His renown, however, is confined to the gridiron game, to track and to basket-ball, and he also is not affiliated with the great national game.
Gibbs and Hoffman are two more so-called ineligibles. And Kansas will admit that they are ineligible this year, since they played their last game last year and the year before respectively. Neither is in school this spring, and neither has had any connection with the ball team this season. Harlan is also accused, but since his work with the team this season has been entirely in the capacity of "His Umps," he is meeting the accusation of Nebraska, sans spinal shivering.
In only four of the nine instances cited did the Nebraskan pick this season's players. Those four are Sevin, Palmer, Heizer and Rockefeller. Each was interviewed by a Kansan reporter this morning and all are ready for an investigation. They declare they can stand up before any riddling inspection that Nebraska might desire to enter into.
The article in the Nebraskan follows:
"A dispatch from Iowa today, states that the Old Gold school is back of Nebraska in this fight on the summer baseball rule in the Missouri Valley conference and that they intend to help the Cornhusker athletic board in this fight So far no special developments have occurred in the campaign which Nebraska has started against the summer baseball rule, but the Nebraska authorities
have been collecting data to the effate that a large per cent of the men on the Kansas team are ineligible under the conference rule and thus have no right to participate in university baseball this year and since being professionals they are barred from all university activities.
President C. E. McClung, of the Kansas Athletic board in replying to the recent action of Nebraska in regard to the eligibility of the men of other baseball teams, stated that he believed that all the Kansas men were amateurs, but that he would be pleased to receive any information regarding the standing of the men of his school that Nebraska or any other schools could gather. As a result, Nebraska authorities have attempted to prove that the members of the Kansas team and other teams of the conference had
(Continued on page four.)
WILL BREAK RECORDS
COACH HAMILTON PREDICTS BIG MEET SATURDAY.
"Give us a good warm day next Saturday, and we will make some of those 'Varsity records look pretty small," said Coach W. O. Hamilton, in speaking of the second annual interclass track meet, which will be held Saturday afternoon on McCook. "If the weather is as fine as it is today I expect the meet to be the classiest of the season."
Already Sixty-Seven Men Have Entered and More Will Sign Medals for the Winners.
If the hopes of the coach are realized new records will be made in both the hurdles,the high jump, the discus, the mile, the 220-yard dash and possibly the broad jump.
Already sixty-seven men from the four classes of the school have entered in the different events and, since the lists are open until the day of the meet, many more are expected to sign.

INVITATIONS TO PROM
Have Not Been Received by Many Seniors.
Some criticism has been current during the past few days among seniors and post graduates who have not yet received their invitations to the junior prom.
The trouble has arisen over the fact that last year's class is the first for several years that has kept a complete record of the students who paid their prom dues.
Paul Carson, chairman of the invitation committee, stated this morning that he would be glad to issue invitations to any who had not yet received them, if they will present their receipts for prom dues paid.
The members of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority gave "His Lordship," a farce, for the benefit of the Y. W. C. A. last night.

The Kansan today reprints from the Daily Nebraskan an article in which that paper alleges that there are at the present time professional players on the University of Kansas baseball team. The article shows that they have been hearing a lot of things up at Nebraska. The athletic authorities at the University of Kansas, it is safe to say, have investigated most of the instances cited by the Nebraskan and have satisfied themselves that the men have not played professional ball. The Kansan believes that no harm can be done by an open and free discussion of the charges. If any of them are true, it is to the interest of the University to know it and act accordingly. On the other hand, failure to recognize the published reflections on the University in any way may be construed by neighboring Universities to mean that there is something here to be covered up.
College athletics was doubtless benefited by the meeting of governing boards held at Kansas City Tuesday. One thing that encourages lovers of sport and of football in particular is the changed attitude of men who at first thought the abolition of intercollegiate contests was the only solution of the problem. Most of them changed their minds as the discussion went on. They arrived at the conclusion that careful regulation of college sports is all that is needed and that is what the friends of sport have been claiming all along.
It was quite incidental, of course,but the Regents at the Kansas City meeting Tuesday showed themselves entirely competent football publicity promoters. If there is any better way to advertise the Thanksgiving contest at Kansas City next Thanksgiving day than by announcing in advance that it is the last that will ever be played there, nobody has thought of it.
Tonight the Music Festival begins. It is an occasion long looked forward to by lovers of music. Every student should go to all the concerts if possible. Any student who does not attend a single one of them will have cheated himself out of a valuable part of his University education.

Many Electric Lights to Be Installed Soon.
TO LIGHT THE CAMPUS.
The need for a larger number of electric lights upon the campus has been apparent for years and this spring the University authorities have taken definite action toward improving lighting facilities. A short time ago Secretary E. E. Brown, accompanied by members of the committee or grounds, made an inspection of the campus to determine where additional lights should be placed. It was decided that beginning north of Spooner library, a light should be placed about every 100 feet along the main boulevard to the Engineering building.
Arrangements for beginning the work of installation have necessarily been delayed because so many propositions had to be considered. Mr.Brown said yesterday that the kind of supports from which the lights will be suspended was one of the things under consideration. The apparatus to be used has been practically decided upon, but the contract has not been closed. All the wires will be placed underground.
In addition to the lights along the roadway, two will be placed in front of Fraser hall and one between Fraser and the medical building. Each light will consist of a cluster of five Tungsten incandesces, making a soft, white light. Each series will be enclosed in a large globe.
APPROVED APPOINTMENT.
Of Dean of New School of Education.
At the meeting of the Board of Regents Tuesday afternoon the appointment of Dr. Charles H. Johnston to the position of dear of the new School of Education, was approved. Other details with regard to the school were discussed and formal action taken to grant the faculty of the new department sole power of setting the standard of teachers' diplomas and also the sole power of certification.
Another action of the Regents not in connection with the School of Education, was the appointment of Dr. J. N. Van der Vries to assist Prof. R. A. Schwegler in his work of arranging the delivering of addresses before county teachers' institutes.
FOR $250,000.
Elect New Members.
The Phi Alpha Delta, honorary law fraternity, has elected eight members of the junior law class to membership. They are, Glen Porter, Robert Foulston, Karl Shawyer, Lee Shinn, Albert Spencer and George Brown.
Bryn Mawr Girls Working to Raise That Amount.
Bryn Mawr College girls in every portion of the country have answered the call for assistance in raising a fund of $ \frac{1}{4} $ million dollars that is necessary in order that their alma mater may obtain a cash gift of equal amount offered by the general educational board, the organization endowed by the Rockefeller millions. The only condition imposed is that the money must be obtained by not later than the first of June.
Such progress has been made up to date that the workers for the cause are confident they will have obtained the necessary quarter of a million dollars when the time limit has expired. One contributor has offered to make up the remainder of the fund as soon at $170,000 has been raised. This makes this one gift $80,000. A manufacturing company has offered to make up $50,00 of every $100,000 raised by the alumni
There have been many other conditional subscriptions. Several women have volunteered to give $10,000 when nine other contributors of the same amount can be found. The contributions of amounts ranging from $100 have been plentiful from graduates in all parts of the country and have swelled the fund. Money has also been obtained by class collections throughout the country. In addition to New York organized groups are canvassing Washington, Chicago, St. Louis, Boston and Cincinnati, the latter city being the home of Miss Helen Taft, who is a student at Bryan Mawr.-New York Evening Telegram.
I have convinced hundreds of students that this is the place to leave your shoes for repair. Why buy new shoes to break in, when you can have your old ones repaired as good as new. I use the best of stock and do the best of work. K. U. SHOE SHOP, 1400 Louisiana street.

BUILDING RAILROADS.
Engineers Have Imaginary Net work on Golf Links.
Have you ever been curious to know what the engineers are doing with their surveying instruments on the golf links these days?
Then here's the answer. They are building railroads—not real ones, of course, for it only requires an imaginary one to give them the necessary credit in surveying. Moreover, it is not that those students are unable to build real ones, for the Tennessee-Mississippi street line of the Lawrence Street Railway company was laid out by the senior civil engineers.
There is probably not a square foot on McCook that has not been used for somebody's railroad. They have been built from almost everywhere to the top of the bill but the most popular seems to be one connecting the U. P. and Santa Fe depots with the Engineering building.
As all first class railroads run in as straight lines as possible the engineers try to make theirs run as straight as possible, and this has caused much trouble For instance one young railroad builder found that he would have to send his line through a small wheat field. When the farmer objected he told him that he was just doing thesis work for the University. But the "wise" older farmer was not to be deceived and answered.
"You can't fool me; tell who ever ye're workin' fer that I'll sell my land for $20,000, and not a cent less."
Another, it is said, found that his road would go directly through a sorority house and gave up the task.
At another time a party of engineers who were building a line from Haskell to the hill, hired a colored gentleman to carry their tools. They were running close to a fence for some time, when one of the party remarked that it was 45 minutes and 20 seconds off the line. "Good Lawd," said the colored gentleman, "mah wife'll sure land on me if I stay around here that long. Gimme my money, I'm goin'."
Will Receive Bids.
Bids for - the construction of the east wing of the new Administration building will be received by the Board of Regents at the next meeting, April 28. At the meeting of the Regents Tuesday, the matter of material to be selected for the building was discussed but no action was taken.

Gustafson
Yet this game is not perfect and will not be until every diamond is equipped with a scaffold, in order that smart alecks may be promptly hanged and put out of their misery. The gallows might be erected behind the catcher, and directly in front of the grand stand, without being too much in the way. It seems impossible to organize a team without having in its membership a few men who play ball with their mouths. They are always protesting, expostulating, throwing fits of various kinds, and delaying the game. Nothing is more tiresome or annoying to see a lot of frenzied orators crowding frantically around the umpires, pawing the air and shrieking. If the umpire has the legal amount of backbone he will never back down from a decision because a lot of baseball lawyers are howling at him.
Baseball is the great game, as previously remarked, and all other games, indoor or outdoor, are trifling by comparison. Many new games enjoy a brief popularity and then fade away. They are usually designed as substitutes for baseball, and they often have some points of resemblance to baseball, but as substitutes they are about as satisfactory as bran coffee in the place of real coffee. There is only one national game, and it has survived all the imitations and substitutes, and is stronger and more popular each year.
The umpire should have powers of life and death. When a talksmith in uniform becomes too pestiferous the umpire should beckon to the executioner to do his duty, and the offender should be removed with as little delay as possible. There is plenty of room under the bleachers for the corpse until the undertaker can send a wagon with a hayrack to haul them away. Or a graveyard might be established near the right field fence.
THE COLLEGE JEWELER
Baseball is the great game, and now that the season for it has opened, both in professional and amateur circles, the call of the bleachers is insistent and the man who has human qualities in him arranges his work so that he can attend the games, says Walt Mason in the Emporia Gazette. If his work interferes with his attendance upon the ball games, he throws up his job, and permits his wife to earn the living for the family. This plan is strongly recommended by the Gazette's sporting editor.
Walt Mason Rises to Remark on the Subject.
BASEBALL REFORMS.
The would-be funny player should also be consigned to the tomb. The idea that baseball players should be low comedians is a survival of the early days of the game. Not one in a hundred of the humorists in uniform ever do or say anything funny; the majority of them mistake profanity for humor.
When baseball has achieved perfection there will be something doing every minute while the game is in progress; there will be no oratorical contests; not tedious waits; the decisions of the umpire will be final, whether they are right or wrong; or, if if they are disputed at all it will be after the game is over, and nobody but the captains of the opposing teams will be permitted to make protests, or address the umpires at all.
When this fact is fully realized, and all the foolishness has been cut out, the national game will be more successful than it ever was.
People who pay to see ball games want to see the ball games, and not declamatory contests.
STUDENTS TO WED.
Smart-Clark Wedding to Take Place in May.
Invitations have been received by many University students to attend the wedding of Miss Lola Lucille Smart, of Ottawa, to Mr. William Miller Clark of Atchison on Tuesday, May 10, at 7:30 o'clock.
Miss Smart, who is the daughter of Judge C. A. Smart, entered the University in 1907 from Ottawa University and received her A.B. degree at the close of last year. Miss Smart was one of the most popular girls of the University and is a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority.
Mr. Clark, whose parents formerly lived in Lawrence, was a student of the University School of Law until two years ago, and is a member of the PhiGamma Del ta fraternity. He is now traveling for a Pittsburg milling company.
At the ceremony, which will take place in the First Congregational church of Ottawa, Miss Edna Hopkins will be bridesmaid and Mr. Harry Rogers will attend the groom.
Following the wedding Mr. and Mrs. Clark will tour the eastern states, after which they will make their home in Pittsburg, Pa.
CONSIDER INVENTION.
May Manufacture Professor Hood's Fireless Cooker.
At a meeting of the Lawrence Committee Tuesday night, the fireless cooker, an invention of Professor Hood of the department of engineering, was examined and a committee of business men were selected to make thorough investigations concerning it.
For some time Professor Hood has been working on this device, and he believes he has a cooker that is entirely different from anything now on sale. Its mechanism is extremely simple and it is made of light material, which is also an invention of Mr. Hood's.
It is expected that the committee of Lawrence business men will make a report soon and it is expected that the manufacture of the invention will be begun here.

A unanimous vote of the representatives of the six Missouri Valley conference schools in attendance for the retention of football.
The abolition of intercollegiate football games on Thanksgiving days except insofar as existing contracts may be affected.
After December 1, 1910, no athletic coaches shall be allowed except those who are regular members of the teaching staff, employed by the governing board of the institution, for the full academic year.
After December 1, 1910, no inter-
mission games except on college-
grounds.
After September 1, 1910, no student shall be a member of more than two intercollegiate teams in any one year.
Freshmen shall be limited to athletics competition within their own school.
The abolition of the training table.
The abolition of the hammer throw in field competitions.
The president of each institution to appoint one member of a joint committee to revise the football rules and report to the conference after December 1, 1910.
A strong sentiment in favor of retaining football in the Missouri Valley was shown at the meeting of the governing boards of the various schools at the Kansas City meeting Tuesday. All the schools of the conference were represented, with the exception of the University of Iowa.
The proceedings of most importance to the University of Kansas were the ruling that intercollegiate games must be played on college grounds after existing contracts expire, and the ruling prohibiting the employment of short-term coaches after December 1, 1910.
A conference of governing boards was organized, with Chancellor Strong as president and Dean Isaore Loeb of Missouri as secretary.

Three Kansas men, Moss, Johnson and Gibbs, were members of the Beloit team in the Central Kansas League last summer, and their pictures may be found on page 256 of the Spalding guide for 1910. Harlan, who was a member of the Jayhawker team last year, played with the Minneapolis team of the Central Kansas League and his picture also appears on page 256 of the Spalding guide. Sevin, Palmer Heizer, Hoffman and Rockefeller, who are members of the Kansas team, have also been informed against as having played with professional and semi-professional teams in the state of Kansas last year.
One member of the Manhattar team stated last week that he did not wish to state the name of the team that Heizer played with as he felt that Kansas should do that herself. Sevin played with the Stevens club of the Kansas City league last summer and Palmer and Hoffman played with the Ellis and Hope (Kan.) teams respectively."

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL 23.1910
A
FRESHMEN WILL WIN THE MEET
SCORES PREDICT VICTORY FOR FIRST-YEAR MEN.
Despite the cold weather and the wind, Coach W. O. Hamilton succeeded in taging one of the best track shows that has been seen on McCook field for some time. And that the coach knew what he was talking about when he said that a number of the 'Varsity records would be laid on the shelf was proven, at least in part by the results.
With the relay, broad jump,and to-mile run, three remaining events to be decided at the interclass track meet this afternoon the score shows that the freshmen are due to win. The score at the time of going to press is as follows: Seniors, 21, Juniors $ 15\frac{1}{2} $ Sophomores, 36; Freshmen, $ 48\frac{1}{2} $
There is probably no doubt that had weather conditions been favorable the hopes of the coach in record-breaking would have beer realized. Of the six events he predicted new records would be established, two were made.
The first was in the pole vault and the second in the 120-yard hurdles. The winner of the first record was Tod Woodbury, a freshman, who by breaking the record won his "K." The second record was etaken by Winter, a senior,who already holds a track "K." The men in the other events which the coach had hoped to establish new records were unable to set the required pace against the wind.

UNIFORM QUIZ SYSTEM
Adopted by Student Council This Weeks
At the meeting of the Student Council last Tuesday night a new system for conducting examinations was adopted and recommended to the faculty for ratification. The plan provides for only one quiz in each subject, whether a two or a five-hour course;
The examinations for all three hour 8 o'clock classes. will take place Monday morning from 8 to 10, the two-hour 8 o'clock classes from 10 to 12; three-hour, 1:30 Monday classes, from 1:30 to 5:30; two-hour, 1:30 classes, from 3:30 to 5:30.
The 9 o'clock and 2:30 classes will have Tuesday 10:15 and 3:30 classes, Wednesday, and 11:15 and 4:30 classes will have Thursday. On Friday there will be a holiday.
This system, called the uniform quiz system, provides periods for all classes with no conflicts. The system has been referred to the faculty council for adoption or rejection. The Student Council has asked the University council try the system for a few years.

MUSIC FESTIVAL WAS A SUCCESS
MUCH TALENT DISPLAYED
AT ALL CONCERTS.
NUMBER 83
Despite Fact That Symphony Or chestra Was Delayed in Arriving, Satisfaction Was Given.
The Music Festival of 1910 was one of the most successful ever given at the University and this in spite of the failure of the Minneapolis Symphony Orehestra to reach Lawrence in time for a concert yesterday afternoon as scheduled. The concert which was to have taken place yesterday afternoon was given this morning at 9:30, before an audience almost as large as attended the regular concert last night.
The failure of a railroad to make schedule time from Denver was given by the manager of the orchestra as the reason why his musicians did not arrive on time. The orchestra left Denver immediately following a concert there Thursday evening, with the promise from the railroad company that the train would reach Lawrence in time for the concert the following afternoon. A partly disabled engine on one of the divisions caused so much loss of time, that the orchestra did not arrive in Lawrence until after four o'clock.
At the rehearsal held yesterday afternoon, Miss Esther Shaw, a junior in the department of music, played Mendelssohn's G minor concerto with the orchestra. It is the plan of Dean Skilton to have one of the more proficient music students play at the afternoon rehearsal of the orchestra each year.
The high opinion which the University public holds of the Minneapolis orchestra was more than justified by the concert last night. To the best musically educated persons in the audience, the "Symphony Pathetique" by Tschaikowski probably seemed the best played piece on the program at least, that is what one of them said today. To other people there seemed little use to try to make comparisons. The entire program was thoroughly enjoyed from beginning to end by the great audience. The "Hungarian Phantasy" which Prof. Carl Preyer played with the orchestra was enthusiastically received. Professor Preyer's playing has never been more brilliant than it was last night. Professor Hubach's solo, "Celeste Aida," accompanied by the orchestra was fully equal to the work of the artists who travel with the orchestra.
The first concert of the series, Thursday evening, was a recital by Genevieve Wheat Baal, soprano, and Richard Czerwonky, violinist. The work of Mr. Czerwonky was one of the fine features of the festival.
- Ticket holders accepted with out complaint the changed conditions made necessary by the failure of the orchestra to arrive in time for the concert yesterday afternoon. Nearly all adapted their own business to the time of holding the concert this morning and attended. No comment on the festival is heard except expressions of satisfaction.
THE WEATHER.
Fair tonight and Sunday; cooler tonight.
It is not known yet whether the sale of tickets will pay the expenses of the festival, but Dean Skilton said this afternoon that he believed it would pay out.
TO GIVE ALUMNI ADDRESS
Prof. C. M. Sharpe, of Missouri, a Commencement Speaker.
Professor Charles Manford Sharpe, dean of the Bible College of Missouri, at Columbia, will deliver the alumni address at commencement. Professor Sharpe was graduated from the University in '97 and received the degree of master of arts two years later. He spent a year at the University of Chicago engaged in work towards a doctor's degree.
While in the University, the Reverend Sharpe was pastor of the Christian church in Lawrence and was regarded as an able man. He was a keen student and a forcible speaker. He left the active ministry to take the chair of semitics in the Bible College at Columbia. About a month ago he was appointed dean. The college has four teachers in its faculty and about two hundred students. Some of its work is accepted for credits by the University of Missouri.
Received Pottery Kiln.
W. A. Griffith, professor of drawing and painting of the University, received yesterday a pottery kiln to be used in hardening and burning clay vessels which are moulded by students of the department of ceramics. The kiln will be installed on the third floor of snow hall the first part of next week. It is of considerable size weighing two tons.
Gave Informal Dinner
Dean Skilton and Mrs. Skilton entertained Mr. Fisher, Mr. Overman, and Miss Maude Cooke with an informal dinner at Dean Skilton's home last night.
Mr. Overman, Mr. Fisher and Miss Cooke are members of the Minneapolis Symphony Concert company.
Study Kansas City Charities.

WASHBURN MET DEFEAT, 6 TO 1
AN ERROR PERMITTED THEM TO SCORE.
Varsity Took the Lead in First Inning With 3 Runs Game Full of Errors.
By a tally of 6 to 1, Washburn was the victim of Ebright's balltossers this afternoon. At no time in the game did the visitors have a chance with Farrell's slants, while hits by the Kansas men were frequent and lengthy. The K. U. lad stook the lead in the first inning, when they fell on Miller's slants for three hits which, combined with errors, permitted three men to cross the plate.
From a fielding point of view the game wasn't much; the locals made all kinds of errors and the visitors were in the same class. Farrell was safe with men on bases and the only score that Washburn was able to slip across the pan came because of an error. The pitcher of the Washburn gang, who boasts of seventeen summers, had his troubles when there were Kansas men on the sacks.
Farrell struck out seven of the opposing batsmen, while Miller mowed down six of the locals.
WILL BUILD ADDITION.
To University School of Medicine at Rosedale.
An addition to the University hospital at Rosedale costing $80,000 will be built within a short time, according to a statement made this morning. That amount was appropriated by the legislature and will be paid to the University on July 1.
The present plans for the addition to the School of Medicine is to build a 200-bed annex to the present hospital. The building now holds only thirty-five beds and is not large enough to accommodate the needs of the school.
Plans are being drawn under the supervision of Dean H. G. Hoxie, of the school, and will later be presented to the faculty members for approval.
TO MEET K. C. A. C.
First Annual Track Clash Will Be April 30.
The first annual track meet with K. C. A. C. will be held on McCook field, Saturday, April 30 The K.C.A.C. team will consist of twelve men from Kansas City and Roberts and Nevitt of Haskell, and Messenhem of Lawrence will also compete.

Things look promising now for a good Student Council next year. A number of candidates have been anounced, among them the fittest men in the University to hold office in the Council. Several of the candidates are men who proved their ability in the recently-conducted campaign for football. That was a typical example of the service that the members of the Council will be asked to do in their official capacity. A Kansas City newspaper man, writing of the recent meeting of governing boards at Kansas City, said that the conclusions reached there would have been different had it not been for the campaign carried on by the students of the various schools to keep football as one of the Missouri Valley college sports. Students of the University of Kansas were enabled to make an effective campaign for football largely because men of ability directed the movement The men who have in this way shown their capacity should be elected to the Student Council for the next year.
The daring manager of the Minneapolis orchestra, who undertook to give a concert in Denver one evening and another in Lawrence the following afternoon, staked the success of his scheme on the chance that the railroad service might be satisfactory—with a result by no means surprising. The inconvenience caused by the failure of the orchestra to reach Lawrence in time for the afternoon concert was much to be regretted, but by holding a concert this morning, all but a few of the ticket-holders were satisfied. It is to be hoped that at next year's festival, Lawrence will not be at the wrong end of a long trip across the country on the orchestra's itinerary.
WHITE.
From Life, New York.
With shears we clip this extraordinary passage from the Sun, which is nothing if not literary, even in its market reports;
' 'Kansas has quit raising corn and gone to raising hell, and seems to have an over-production,' declared William Allen White several years ago, and he has had no work to do except with his pen from that time on. An equally well-known writer, Samuel Bigthe, recently let fall incidentally the remark that northwestern Canada was engaged in raising land values.'
How—what—why? Oh, come now, this is a little too much. Since Van Norden's Magazine essayed to hitch literature and finance in unlawful wedlock these Wall street reporters have been putting on airs. "An equally well-known writer, Samuel Blythe," Dollars to doughnuts—or dithyrams—you never heard of Mr. Blythe. Dollars to the hole in the doughmats everybody has heard of Mr. White. Since Kansas quit raising hell and went to raising certain rich men, his name is an open sesame to sanctums lined with gold. Fame, emerging from the gamma grass, flaps her wings and proclaims with a thousand tongues the glory and the gains of Kansas. Blythe may sometimes fire a shot that echoes 'round the world; but when White uncorks his fountain pen we seem to hear the fall of the Bastile and the invincible trend of advancing cost.
Honk, honk! It is no longer the wild goose winging his solitary way, "darkly painted on the crimson sky" of bloody Kansas 'Tis the toot of the fattened farmer in his automobile, scattering the dust on the highway—off perchance, to dine and wine in honor of William Allen White new-lighted from a European trip Kansas once more raises and roasts her corn; hell is no longer in the curriculum of her agricultural college. Amid the ears, no longer ruth but rejoicing. Even the crows no longer croak, but cry "Kaw-Kaw!"
"An equally well-known writer," Shucks! Since commerce undertakes to appraise letters why not "equally as good." and be done with it?
Prof. C. A. Nash returned yesterday from Illinois where he was called on account of the sickness of his father.
One would never think of associating good music like the line the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra puts forth, and beer together. Nevertheless, Lawrence will never again hear the weighty German trombone player, who tromboned in the orchestra, for the simple reason that there are no thirst emporiums where 'joy waters'" are dispensed here.
Symphony Trombonist Could Not Satisfy Thirst.
NO JOY FOR MUSICIAN.
Those men who designed the Imperial Hats for this Spring are certainly open to congratulations. They have worked up a series of styles, both in soft and stiff Hats, that easily win the season's medal for originality and snappiness in the $3 field. We're putting Imperials on more heads this Spring than we ever have in any previous season. There's not another $3 proposition like it. We have the entire new line; sole agents in Lawrence. See the new pliant soft grays, the "8 in one" Hats,
When a Kansas reporter interviewed Herr (being short of type we cannot print his name) and asked him how he liked our fair city, his answer was so enthusiastic and explosive that it resembled the boom of the big bass drum at last night's concert.
His reply, when concentrated and put into English was: "Ach, mine son, such a purg! I climbed dot mountain six times to-day and nowhere tonight can I procure von glass of beer. Never more shall I return."
When he finished tears were rolling from the big German's eyes and the reporter's heart was touched.
"Have you tried the bottoms?" the pencil-pusher ventured.
But the man from the Blue Dan ube had fainted and no "restora tives" were at hand.

Caldwell made a few remarks from his standpoint as retiring president in which he spoke of the importance and possibilities of the Y. M. C. A in the University. As president-elect Johnson spoke of his realization of the work to be done and pledged himself with the co-operation of the boys to put his whole strength into it with the expectation of making it more successful than at any time in the past.

FAVORS TRAINING TABLE.
Otherwise, Kennedy Is Satisfied With Regents' Action.
"I am glad to hear of the action taken by the Kansas City conference on the football question in the Missouri Valley," said Coach Bert Kennedy, this morning. "If anybody had said to me, a month ago, that football would be retained by the conference schools, I would not have believed them. It's needless to say that I am about the happiest man in town; and it's not from any selfish interests either, for the city papers now prophesy 'the passing of Coach Kennedy,' but because I think the abolition of football here would be a great detriment to the University.
"I think the conference did right in requiring the Kansas-Missouri game to be played in the college towns. I have favored that for a long time. It will help to do away with commercialism—the greatest evil connected with the game.
"The abolition of the training table is the one action taken, which I believe was a mistake. In training men for as strenuous a game as football, every means should be used to make them as 'fit' as possible, and I shall always contend that a training table is one of the greatest helps a coach has in getting his squad into perfect condition."

KENNEDY NEXT YEAR'S COACH
ATHLETIC BOARD'S ACTION IS RATIFIED.
人
Mosse the Assistant—Position on Faculty Probably Be Created for Coach Next Year.
That Bert Kennedy will coach the Kansas football team next fall became known definitely today. Moreover, his assistant will be Arthur St. Lester Mosse. The coach question, which has been a mooted one ever since last fall, was definitely settled by the action of the conference of Missouri Valley schools in Kansas City last Tuesday and the subsequent ratification of the appointment of the coaches today.
A month ago, when football conditions were unsettled and the coach question could not be decided, the athletic board passed a resolution to the effect that if American football was retained Kennedy and Mosse should be next season's coaches. Should Rugly have been adopted, the resolution provided that the question should remain unsettled. The announcement has been made by Dr. C. E. McClung of the athletic board, that the resolution would remain valid.
人
The question as to whether the regulations made by the conference in Kansas City this week, requiring the coaches to be members of the faculty of the school in which they teach, would prevent Kennedy from being coach next fall, was also settled today. In all probability he will be retained and a position in the faculty created for him.
At present the plans are to create a directorship of outdoor athleties, under Dr. James Naismith head of the department of physical education. Kennedy will be given that directorship and will be paid a regular salary as are the other faculty members. He will take charge of football and would probably have a few other duties added to his office.
THE HONOR SYSTEM
Being Considered for Adoption at the University.
The joint committee of the Student Council for men and women have received the constitution of the Honor System of the Princeton University and are considering its adoption at the University
The constitution provides for a student court consisting of the presidents of the four classes and two others, one a member of the senior class and the other a junior. This court represents the student body and deals with all cases involving violations of the honor system. It will have power to summon students and witnesses and conduct a formal investigation, and in case of conviction the penalty shall be the recommendation to the faculty of expulsion.
Violations of the honor system consist of any attempt to receive assistance in examinations whether the one so doing has completed his own work or not. It is understood that every student will report any case of violation that comes to his notice.

IS FOR ARCHERY.
J. M. Challis Says It Is a Great Sport.
In an interesting speech in chapel yesterday morning James M. Challis, 94, a prominent attorney of Aitchison, advocated archery as a rational recreation for University students. He claimed that this sport, so famed in literature from the dawn of antiquity, was a most satisfactory mental and physical exercise. Archery uses more muscles of the body than any other sport which can be readily provided and is suitable for all ages and classes of people, said Mr. Challis.
He explained that though archery was very popular in America for a period of years from about 1874 to 1885, it was then distinctly a fad and thus subject to the instability of a fad. An argument in favor of its adoption in colleges today is the universatility of the game. A record in one place holds good in another and in after years and thus exact comparisons of scores are possible.
Mr. Challis said that contrary to general opinion Indians are poor archers. He told of a tournament conducted at the time of the Chicago World's fair, in which white men,doubtful of their comparative ability, had thoroughly defeated their opponents from half civilized peoples.
GRADUATE WILL SPEAK.
James Challiss Has Been an Orator Since College Days.
James Challiss who was the chapel speaker yesterday is a graduate of the School of Law, class of 1894. Before he entered the Law School he was a student in the College and was well known as a speaker of ability, having represented the University in the state oratorial contest. Since his graduation he has been engaged in praeticing law in Attchison. He is now a member of the well known firm of Waggener, Orr & Challiss, the sucessor of the old firm of Waggener, Horton & Orr which included Ex-Chief Justice Horton. While in College Mr. Challiss was a leader among the students in various University enterprises and has kept in touch with student problems since his graduation.

Professor Ephriam Miller, of the University, who has the honor of having followed the teaching profession longer than any other man in Kansas, will retire from the faculty at the close of the present year.
Professor Miller has taught school almost sixty years. His term of service and position in the University renders him eligible to a Carnegie retiring pension which he probably will receive.
Dr. Miller began teaching when he was 14 years old and by this means made his way through Alleghany College, Pennsylvania. He has been teaching in Lawrence for forty years, having been first elected to the chair of mathematics in the University. Nineteen years ago he was appointed to the chair of astronomy.
He has always taken a great interest in this line of study and has the happy faculty of making his subject interesting to others.

A PARTY TO PUGET SOUND
PROF. BAUMGARTNER WILL HEAD EXPEDITION.
University Will Offer Credits to Students Who Do Six Weeks' Work at the Station.
Professor W. J. Baumgartner of the department of Zoology will lead an expedition to the Friday Harbor Station on the shores of Puget Sound this summer to collect and study the marine specimens which are to be found in such abundance in that region. Besides several students from the University who have already signified their intention of going, there will be representatives from the University of Iowa, Washburn College, and several of the minor colleges and high schools over the state.
"Between fifteen and twenty of the persons whom I have spoken to on the subject have announced their intention of going, "said Professor Baumgartner this morning," and from present indications the full number will be secured in a short time. We have secured a special car and will go over the Canadian Pacific, leaving early in June so as to have time for few side trips on the way out. These will include a visit to the Canadian National Park, which is said to equal or exceed Yellowstone in grandeur. Active work will not begin at the station until June 28.
"The cost of the trip will be moderate, as living expenses are not high at the station, and the railroad fare will be greatly reduced by the use of the special car. I would be glad to talk to any student who is interested in such work, in embryological work in particular, who would like to accompany us.
"The University offers six hours' credit to those who wish to remain during the entire season. We will return in September."
Professor Baumgartner will have charge of the work in embryology at the station.
Prof. C. E. McClung and Prof. W. J. Baumgartner headed a party to Friday harbor last sum mer and collected enough marine specimens to last the University and high school classes of the state a number of years.

PLANS FOR PROM NEARLY READY
AMBASSADOR BRYCE TO BE GUEST OF HONOR.
Farce Will Be Given on Main Floor of Robinson Gymnasium.
Plans for the Junior prom which will be held in Robinson gymnasium on Friday night April 29, are fast nearing completion. Despite several slight inconveniences under which the managers and the committees are working, there seems to be no doubt that this spring's event will be one of the most successful in the school's history
There will be at least one feature, which has not been surpassed in any previous years That is the distinction of having for a guest of honor such a famous man as Ambassador James Bryce. Both he and Professor Jesse Macey, of Grinnel, have received invitations and will be present at the prom.
Other features will be the unique arrangement of the farce which will be staged on the maidgym floor instead of on the auditorium floor, and which will begin promptly at 9 o'clock. By this arrangement none of the space usually lost to the dancer by the erection of a stage for the giving of the farce, will be wasted. The orchestra will be placed on a raised platform in the center of the hall, and the decoration committee has hinted that there will be some unique decorative plans carried out in connection with these novel features.
A
人
Another important feature which was planned, but failed was that of providing for street cars to carry the dancers from the gym after the Prom. Or account of the car line loop not being built it was impossible it carry out the plan. Despite this fact, cabs will not be used as a means of conveyance, the members of the class having decided that "cabs were not in order."
TO PLAY SUMMER BALL.
Harlan May Go to Schmelkers in Kansas City.
With the opening of the baseball season in the various leagues over the state, many of the University players not eligible for college athletics, are commencing to feel the "call of the wild" and are working the kinks out of their arms. The accounts of the Sunday game of the Missouri Athletic club with the Schmelzers in Kansas City shows that one Hal Harlan, for several years chief slab artist for the local enthusiasts and now coach of this year's freshman team, was decorating the box for the Missouri Athletic club.
When asked this morning as to his probable relations with this team for the season, Mr. Harlan said that in Sunday's game he was a mere filler and that all though he would in all probability pitch several more times for them, before the State League opened up, he was in no way under contract with them.
AN ATHLETIC PROGRAM
Tomorrow Will Be "Open Day" in Girl's Gymnasium.
The annual open-day exercises of the girls' gymnastium classes will take place at 4 o'clock to morrow afternoon in Robinson's gymnastium. The program is:

Mr. Chafin will speak on some phase of the subject interesting to University men.
WASHBURN TOMORROW.
Tomorrow the postponed visit with the Washburnites will be made by Coach Ebright and his pupils and the kind spirit of cordiality that pervaded the game last Saturday as shown by the score of 6 to 1, it is hoped will be repeated. The line-up will be practically the same as heretofore, except that "Pat" Harvey will be the keeper of the center patch. Coach Ebright expects to use Heizer, Doyle, and Farrell in the box, giving each a turn at the rivals.

SEVERAL MORE CANDIDATES
ANNOUNCED THEMSELVES FOR STUDENT COUNCIL.
Spotts and Baumgartner the Only Candidates for President— The Complete List.
Since the first announcement of candidates for election to the Student Council, a number of names have been added to the list.While all of the petitions have not yet been filed with President Baumgartner, they will be recorded by Friday night. There is a chance of several more students announcing their candidacy before that time.
Thus far two men have an nounced their candidacy for president. They are Edwin Baumgartner, who now holds that office and Ralph Spotts, who has for the past four years been connected with many student activities.
For vice president there is but one candidate, Verne Long, and likewise for secretary, Elbert Overman is the only man who has announced his candidacy.
For members of the council it is different. While the college is allowed six men, there are seven candidates, the School of Engineering may elect four of the five candidates and the law must pick two of five men. Both the Schools of Medicine and Pharmacy are entitled to one member and only one in each school has announced his candi daey.
The judges of election will hold a meeting tomorrow night at the Phi Delta Theta house to formulate rules governing the election which will be held May 5.

A "tag day" for the sale of tags or buttons signifying that the holder is entitled to admission to the performance of "Alice in Wonderland" has been planned by the Women's Student Government association. The date of "tag day" has not yet been determined, but it is believed that it will be a method of selling a larger number of tickets than could otherwise be sold.
The date of the Gala Day has been changed from May 14 to May 13, in order to avoid a conflict with the Kansas-Missouri track meet.
Juniors Given But One More Day of Grace.
RECITALS POSTPONED.

Coming of Ambassador Bryce Made Changes Necessary.

A change in the dates of graduating recitals of students in the department of expression has been made necessary by the coming of Ambassador Bryce Thursday evening. The recital of Miss Grace Waugh and Miss Jennie Purdy, which was to have been given Thursday evening, has been postponed to May 3. The recital of Miss Winifred Van Vleit and Miss Elizabeth Yeater has been postponed from May 3 to May 5.
UNIVERSITY ATHLETES TO ENTER RELAY CARNIVAL.
Haddock and Roberts Will Run the Hundred and French Take Part in the High Jump.
Three members of the Kansas track team, Haddock, Roberts and French, accompanied by Coach Hamilton, will leave Lawrence tomorrow night at 5:37 for Philadelphia, where they will participate in the Sixteenth Annual University of Pennsylvania Relay Carnival, which will be held there Saturday, April 30.
The men will go by way of St. Louis and Washington, arriving at Philadelphia Friday morning, thus having twenty-four hours' rest before the meet: Haddock and Roberts are entered in the 100-yard dashes and French in the high jump.
This is the first year Kansas has ever entered this meet, but if the men make a good showing Kansas will probably be represented next year.
"All three of the men are in good shape," said Coach Hamilton this morning, and if they do as well in Philadelphia as they have been doing here, we will be sure of taking a couple of places and ought to take one first. Last year the hundred was won by R. C. Foster of Harvard in 101-5 seconds. Haddock made that time in the inter-class meet under unfavorable conditions Saturday, and Roberts is his close second. Last year the high jump was won by Porter of Cornell at six feet, and French has already gone that high this year, and if this dope means anything Kansas has a good chance to bring home at least one first."
This meet is given by the University of Pennsylvania every year and the competition is open to all college men, whether they be in college at the present time or not. There are about one thousand entries filed for this year's meet, and include college men from all parts of the country. The meet was intended originally only for relay races, but lately a few other events have been added to make the meet more interesting.
A dispatch from Columbia,Mo.. today says that the M. U. track team will not attend the Philadelphia meet. Not enough money could be raised to send the men, and Dr. Monilaw said that some of the athletes were not in good condition.
Senior Girls to Entertain.
The senior girls will entertain the senior boys on the evening of May 14, in Robinson gymnasium.

The laying of the corner-stone of Westminster Hall again calls attention to the admirable way in which two of the religious denominations in Kansas have solved the problem of providing stricly religious education for their young people. Instead of taking up the burden of maintaining colleges provided with a complete curriculum, which on account of financial handicaps could never be better than second or third rate, they have established houses for religious instruction in Lawrence, where students may also make use of all the advantages afforded by the University of Kansas. The plan works to the benefit of everybody concerned More students make use of the facilities provided by the state in the University than otherwise would and the church people who are taxpayers, are saved the waste of keeping up two educational institutions where one does the work just as efficiently.
The Daily Nebraskan recently published an honor roll of those professors and instructors who dismiss their classes promptly at the close of the recitation hour. That might be a good plan at the University of Kansas. The first few minutes of many class periods are disturbed by students trooping in from previous classes which held overtime. Then, too as long as it is known that there are instructors in the University who keep classes later than they should, the University fussers will steal a few minutes for conversation with their fair ones and charge the time up to one of the professors aforesaid if an explanation is asked for.
While the regulation of room
ing houses in which University students—and particularly women students—make their homes during the school year, probably never will be enthusiastically approved by all landlords and landladies, it is nevertheless an important matter. The amount of regulation must increase rather than lessen for some time to come. This is one of the matters in Which the Women's Student Government association has interested itself, to the betterment of University conditions.
Women students should take a keen interest in the approaching election of officers of the Women's Student Government association, for the coming year. The women's association has done much creditable work in the year of its existence, probably the most creditable being the establishment of a scholarship, which will help some girl through school. The election is important. The work so well begun should be left in competent hands.
Mr. Challis's remark in his chapel talk Friday morning that "archery beats rolling cigarettes as a form of exercise," will have but little weight with those students who might ponder it to best advantage. It will be a long time probably before it will be fashionable to wear fingers that are abraded by the bow-string rather than delicately tinted with nicotine.
By winning the inter-class meet, the freshman athletes have set a high standard for the class to live up to. Members of the class who are engaged in other activities will doubtless try to reach the high degree of excellence which the athletes have shown.
It is said that the method by which the schools in the Missouri Valley Conference will avoid viin which the new rule prohibiting the hiring of short-term coaches really is not a joke, though some people cannot repress their smiles when they think of it.
"It's all right to pardon the poets," says Walt Mason, "but if the officers ever succeed in getting a slogan-maker into the penentiary no elemeney should be shown." Agreed, if that includes the man who invented the "Beat Kansas" slogan.
Received Yesterday by Department of Zoology.
SNAKES AND LIZARDS.
The department of zoology received a collection of frogs, snakes, and lizards yesterday from Professor W. A. Hurter, curator of St. Louis Academy of Science.
Seventy-five species were contained in the collection. Thirty of them are new additions for the department. One of the most valuable snakes is called "Negraserpentis." It is black in color and about twelve feet in length.
The collection is on exhibit in the zoological storcroom, and in room 206 Snow hall.
The Switching of Tails.
Lawrence Gazette.
The promoters of Halley's comen insist that their prodigy has a tail fifteen million miles long. Men who in their youth were wont to milk the cows in fly-time, are the only ones who can have a realization of what it would mean to us to have Halley's pet switch that tail around the earth.

Annual Meet Promises to Be Best Ever Held—Many Prices for the Winners.
The University of Kansas will hold its seventh annual high school track meet on May 7. The entries close next Saturday evening, but even now the prospect for the meet this year are more promising than last spring, when the meet reached the high watermark.
Manager Lansdon sent out entry blanks to the accredited high schools of the state, several weeks ago and the entries have, for the past few days, been coming in rapidly.
The prizes this year will be the same as last year; gold medals for first places, silver for seconds, and bronze medals for third places. To the team wining the relay and to the athletes breaking records and those securing the highest number of individual points, silver loving cups will be given.
Owing to the fact that the schools in Kansas City and the other larger schools just outside the state, such as Joplin, St. Joseph, and Springfield will probably not enter this meet, the smaller schools throughout the state will be given a chance to win against some of the larger schools.
In connection with the track meet this year, the third annual inter-scholastic high school tennis tournament will be held. Four cups will be offered as tennis prizes; two in the singles and two in the doubles. A championship cup and a consolation cup will also be given.
On May 21 a meet for the schools outside the state and the schools in the state winning large numbers of points in the meet of May7 will be given, and prizes similar to the ones awarded in the first contest will be given.
Praise for Dean Skilton.
Lawrence World.
The large audiences which filled the gymnasium at the three concerts just closed shows conclusively the valuable work accomplished by Dean Skilton of the School of Fine Arts, whose untiring efforts have made it possible for Lawrence to hear each year some of the best musicians of the country. The fact that he has brought the attendance to the point where the festival is a success financially, is secondary in value to the development of the sense which enables the public to better appreciate good music.
人
Judging by the results of recent years, the enrolling of guardants will be unnecessary in the future. The festivals which at first drew attendance as a novelty, have now become a part of the work of the School of Fine Arts and are looked forward to with pleasure by the people of the town.
Quill Being Printed.
Almost all the "copy" for the Quill magazine is in the hands of the printer and will be published within a short time. Several of the stories in the forthcoming is sue have been written by non members and many are said to be especially interesting.
An Order Against Smoking on Athletic Field Issued.
THE 'PILL' MUST GO.
"No smoking inside the wire in closure."
Every entrance to the wire enclosure of the athletic field at Me Cook and the doors of the club houses on the field are adorned with one of these signs. They were put up by the athletic management because of the bad impression given to visitors by men in athletic suits on the athletic field smoking.
For the most part the offenders are members of club baseball teams and enthusiastic fans who frequent the field during practiced hours. Several members of the 'Varsity baseball team also in-dulge in the use of "last drag" occasionally, and it is desired that this be stopped on the athletic field.
"Dick" Waring, assistant athlete manager, said this morning that the order will be enforced and that the first time anyone is caught breaking it he will be taken off the field. This order will apply to everyone who has occasion to enter the wire enclosure.
SAYS RUGBY IS SAFER.
Prof. Murray Thinks It Is Due to Small Use of Tackle.
Prof. E. W. Murray, who was the first Kansas Rhodes scholar, had an article in the Kansas City Star Sunday, describing the game of Rugby football. "Passing and kicking are the great features of Rugby play," says Professor Murray. "They are so commonly used that one rarely sees a desperate tackle in a Rugby game. This feature differentiates Rugby from the American game and eliminates that feature of our game which its opponents deplore most of all. It is the tackle in one form or another that is responsible for most of the injuries caused by our game. It should be understood, however, that Rugby is not free from injuries, but the injuries received in this game are sprained ankles and broken bones, such as a track man or baseball player may receive. The more serious concussions and torn ligaments are extremely rare."

Harvard Plans to Have the Biggest and Best of Its Kind.
Harvard is to have a million-dollar gymnasium, the biggest and most perfectly equipped building of its kind. The plans call for an artificial ice rink, a huge swimming pool, two smaller plunges, one hundred baths, a 9 lap running track, shooting galleries, bowling alleys and other paraphernalia.
The money will be raised by subscription. The committee in charge has already, had promises of substantial backing and has selected a site.
The Pi Upsilon local fraternity will give its first anniversary banquet at their chapter house this evening. Bishop Griswold of Salina will act as toastmaster. Toasts will be responded to by Dr. Burdick and members of the fraternity. There will be no guests other than the advisory members.

CEREMONIES WERE HELD
AT LAYING OF WESTMINS TER HOUSE CORNERSTONE.
A Number of Prominent Presbyterians Spoke at Exercises Held Sunday.
The laying of the corner-stone of Westminster hall, located on Oread avenue across from the water-tower, took place last Sunday afternoon with exercises suitable to the occasion. On account of the cold wind the program was given in the assembly room of Myers hall, until the point in the proceedings when it was necessary to place the box and its contents in the corner-stone of the building.
Hon. A. C. Mitechell, '89, who has been one of the local Presbyterians actively concerned in the plans for the building, presided at the meeting and made a few remarks. Of special interest were the remarks of Dr. W. G. Banker, who did so much while pastor of the Lawrence Presbyterian church to secure Dr. F. A. Wilber for the religious instruct or of University students. As the student pastor, Dr. Wilber sook of the past work and possibilities of the future.
Indicative of the cordial attitude of others for the enlarged work to be done by Dr. Wilber were the remarks of Dr. Wallace Payne of the Myers Hall Bible chairs and of Chancellor Strong in his greetings from the University. The list of the contents of the box going into the cornerstone was read by W. W. Cockins, the donor of Westmister hall In addition to pamphlets explaining the history and aims of Westminster Association there was much information in regard to the Presbyterian church in general. Copies of the Lawrene dailies, of the University catalog and student directory, Sunday school helps and a copy of the Bible were also placed in the box.
At the evening meeting at the church the history of the move ment resulting in this Westmins ter hall were discussed by Prof E. Miller and E. F. Caldwell, '85 as well as by Mr. Cockins, Dr Wilber and Dr. Banker.
TO DECENNIAL MEETING.
Prof. Sayre to Attent National Pharmaceutical Convention.
Professor L. E. Sayre, dean of the School of Pharmacy, will leave next Saturday night to attend the meeting of annual convention of the American Pharmaceutical Society which convenes in Richmond, Va., on May 2.
Professor Sayre will deliver three lectures before the society. The first will be on "Active Constituents of Gelsimium," the other two, "Drug Reform" and the answer to the question "How far do Physicians and Surgeons and Pharmists Regard the Drug Standards?"
From Richmond, Professor Sayre will go to Washington, D.C., where he will attend the decennial meeting held for the revision of the United States Pharmacopea.
Every day this week a quartet composed of the following will sing in chapel: Prof. C. E. Huach, Mrs. W. H. Davis, Mise Riggs and Mr. John Power.
WENT TO KANSAS CITY.
Professor Parmelee Accompanied Students There.
Accompanied by Prof. M. F. Parmelee, more than twenty University students, most of whom were members of Professor Blackmar's class in Remedial and Corrective Agencies, made an inspection of several institutions in the two Kansas Cities last Saturday. Though there were about two dozen people who started with Professor Parmelee at the School for the Blind in Kansas City, Kan., at 9 o'clock in the morning, his following had dwindled to five boys when he suspended inspections at 5 in the afternoon.
After watching the blind men making brooms and the girls at their sewing and hearing both boys and girls read from their text books, the students went to the office of the Associated Charities. There they were joined by Frank G. Brainerd, supervisor of the work, who took them to see the organization's Shelter Home for women. Mr. Brainerd took the visitors through the district known as "The Patch." It consists of the hovels of foreigners crowded together without regard to sanitary conditions.
After securing a lunch in Kansas City, Mo., the students went to see the settlement work of the city known as Franklin Institute at 19th and McGee streets. Much good is accomplished for the people of that neighborhood especially through library, play ground and day nursery for the children. J. T. Chafin, who directs the work, is to be in Lawrence and speak at the Y. M. C. A. meeting Thursday.
The Pi Upsilons will give a party in Ecke's hall, on the night of May 6.

COMMITTEES ARE CHOSEN
TO HANDLE WORK OF COMMENCEMENT WEEK.
University Is Preparing for More Visitors Than Ever Before Attended Commencement.
The committees which will have charge of the various activities of Commencement week have been announced from the Chancellor's office. Of late years commencement week has been crowded so full of events that a large number of committees and committee members have been necessary to look after all the work that had to be done. This year is to be no exception. In fact it is planned to have the doings of the week on a larger scale than was ever attempted before.
This year's graduating class has an imposing array of 400 members now (though that number will be, alas! cut down somewhat before the commencement rose bloom), making it by far the largest graduating class in the history of the University. That mean that a larger throng of fond relatives than usual will have to be taken care of at the commencement exercises. The alumni are coming back in larger numbers each year. So the University apthorities have cause to think that there will be a larger crowd o visitors than at any previous commencement.
The classic athletic event of commencement week—the baseball game between seniors and alumni—will be played as it has been from time immemorial, and will be one of the show feature of commencement week. Or scarcely less importance as a drawing card will be the regatta which will be held on the Kavriver Monday of commencement week. The first regatta was held last year. It was greatly enjoyce by University visitors.

Harry Kemp Prefers Championship Belt to Laurel Crown.
One would have thought, had he stood outside the punching-bag room yesterday, that Jack Johnson had stopped off on his trip west and spent the day training at the University. The whole building shook, and even the seis mograph in the basement of Fraser hall was puzzled. But it was not a prize-fighter—far from it It was a poet, and none other than our own Harry Kemp. Harry can punch a bag some, too.
"You see," he said, as he landed a vicious blow on the leather. "I have to start in training about this time every year, so I'll be able to 'rough it' during the summer. I went to the Great Lake last summer."
"Why don't you ride in a Pull man?" somebody asked.
"There is not enough money in poetry," exclaimed the poet, still beating a tattoo on the bag, "so I can't afford it. I wish I had started out in prize-fighting in stead of poetry. There's more money in it." This in answer to the bystander's look of amazement.
"No, I don't care for money," the poet went on regardless o logic. Any ordinary person can make money. I want to be different from the common people. I should like to be a prize-fighter because there is excitement in it—the notoriety, the crowds, the
but the remainder of the poetic philosophy was lost in the din of the regular throbs of the punching-bag, as it bounded bael and forth in a poetic rhythm, impelled by poetic jabs.
DISPLAYED LOUD HOSIERY
University of Chicago Youth Causes Commotion.
In the midst of the campus, surrounded by influences of independence and free thought and in an atmosphere of personal liberty, University students yesterday violated all the precedents of scholastic propriety by depriving a fellow student, equal before the law, of his presumably inalienable right to do as he pleased when a number of personal friends stripped Lyle Harper of his hosiery.
It is true that the hose were particularly car-splitting in tone and dazzling in color, but hitherto on University campuses the brighter the raiment, the more popular. The precedent set yesterday by University students on the University campus is thus the more unexpected and startling. The days of college extremes in clothing, especially hosiery are numbered.
Harper was charged with of fending propriety by displaying a noisy combination of yellow and black hose, and aggravated the offense by wearing 'his trousers turned up a few inches higher than usual. His hose were forcibly removed and suspended in a nearby tree, and he was permitted to return home to secure additional—and quiet—covering for his pedal extremities, only after oath never to repeat his crime in the University neighborhood. The Daily Maroon.
An Out-Door Club.
The official list of organizations at Michigan has secured another addition in the recognition by the committee on non-athletic organizations of "The Society of Les Voyageurs." The society is in a large measure honorary and is composed exclusively of foresters and engineers. It is a rerequirement of membership that one's future vocation shall call him to a life out-of-doors. The society has about a score of members and maintains club rooms.
Two Glee Club Concerts.

MORE CANDIDATES
ANNOUNCED FOR ELECTION TO STUDENT COUNCIL .
All Petitions Must Be Filed by Tomorrow Night—Election Friday. May 5.
All petitions of candidates for election to the Student Council must be signed and filed with Edwin Baumgartner, the present president of the Council, by tomorrow evening. A week later May 5, the election will take place.
At this time probably all of the men who will be placed in nomination for the different offices and council memberships have announced themselves. Among the candidates are many good men; students who have been prominent in student affairs for several years, and who are candidates for the Council because they want to make it a representative body.
The election next week will be held by the Australian ballot system. Consequently, very little politics, which often breaks down the true democratic spirit of the University elections, can enter the polling. Each student will be able to select the candidates to fill the positions that he believes will be able to make the Student Council what it should be.
The men who have announced their candidacy since the list, of candidates was last printed in the Kansan, are :
Secretary
President
Thomas Lee,
Roy Porterfield,
Burton Sears,
From the College,
Lloyd Beeghly,
Edward Chesky,
From the School of Engineering

TEBEAU LOSES ANNUAL GAME
THANKSGIVING FOOTBALL
AT A NEW PARK.
Next Fall's Turkey Day Game Will Be Played on Gordon and Koppel's New Field.
The last annual Kansas-Missouri football game which will be played in Kansas City, will not take place in Tabeau's Association park, as it has during the past number of years. Such was the announcement made by Professor E. W. Murray, secretary o. the Athletic board, this morning, day afternoon, Manager Lansdom By action of the board last Mon was instructed to close a contract with Gordon & Koppel to play the Turkey Day game in their new park at 47th and Lydia avenue in Kansas City. All connections with Tebeau will be severed and the new contract made within a short time.
After communicating with the governing board of the University of Missouri, the action of the local athletic board was taken for two reasons. The first is that by the new contract much better terms will be secured and the second that the Gordon & Koppel park aqords much better accommodations, from the viewpoints of comfort, safety and capacity.
The contract which the University here and Missouri have held with Tebeau during the past several years has been a conditional of each year the two schools had, one. At any time before June 1 by its terms, the right to rescind the contract for the coming season. Consequently, it was possible for the athletic board to take action as it did.
The terms under which the combe made, give the owners 10 per cent to play in the new park will cent of the gross receipts. Tebeaun was drawing $17\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. The management of the new field promise to arrange to accommodate 25,000 persons, if necessary. This number is twice the capacity of Tebeaun's park. Fourteen thousand people attended the game last fall, and with the next being the last in Kansas City, the number may very likely be doubled. Missourin has already agreed to the new contract and it will be completed within a short time.

DEBATES THIS WEEK
MEET OKLAHOMA AND MIS SOURI TEAMS.
The Former Debate at Norman Tomorrow Night—Missouri Here Saturday Evening.
W. T. Griffin and W. A. Erdman, accompanied by Prof. W. A. Davis, left for Norman, Ok., today where on Friday night they debate the team representing Oklahoma State University. The local team will uphold the negative side of the Postal Savings Banks question, and as they have had the advantage of getting the affirmative side of the question as advanced by Colorado a few weeks ago, it is expected that a favorable decision will be given.
On Saturday night the Missouri team, composed of Byers and Priestley, will journey to Lawrence and it will be up to H. C Marks and R. M. Perkins to "show" them a few points on the question: "Resolved, That a tax upon incomes is a desirable means of raising revenue within the state."

A number of good men, who should be members of the Student Council, have not appeared as candidates. It is said that factional alignments have kept them out of the running. If it happens, that two men who are good Student Council material belong to the same organization, only one of them can be a candidate—because, it is said, representation or the Council must be passed around That is a most mistaken idea. If the students of the University pay attention only to preserving the "balance of power" between university factions in the membership of the Council to be chosen at the next election, it will spell ruin for the usefulness of that body. The next year will be a critical one for the student council idea at the University. It is important that candidates be selected for merit alone, and without regard for whatever affiliations they may have. There is only one issue and that is the issue of getting a Council with sense and energy enough to make itself really useful to the student body
With the change of a single word, every Jayhawker can most heartily commend the following editorial from the University Missourian: "There is only one way to make the last game of football in Kansas City a great success. This last game should be Tiger victory."
Tomorrow night the seniors and members of the faculty will be the guests of the junior class at the greatest social occasion of the year, the Prom. The Prom this year will be notable through having as a guest Ambasador Bryee. To honor the represente
tive of a great nation and the man who has performed a great literary service for America is a privilege of which the class of 1911 may well be proud. It will make tomorrow night's gathering unique among junior Proms.
Company "A" of the Kansas National Guard will be a valuable addition to the activities of the University. It is to be hoped that the organization of the company can be completed this week The training which will be imparted will be of value to the members of the Guard and will make them more useful to the state than they could otherwise be.

University Committee Helps tc Find Teachers.
A HELP TO SCHOOLS.
School authorities throughout Kansas are learning to depend more and more on the recommendations of teachers made by the committee for this purpose at the University of Kansas. The work of the committee is directed by W. H. Johnson, of the department of school visitation. The committee has always been conservative and careful in its recommendations and whether the teacher in question is a graduate of the University or not, every effort is made to secure the best qualified person for the vacancy which offers. Every year there is a growing demand for good teachers and it has proved of great advantage to school officers to be able to seek the counsel of an advisory committee such as this at the University.—Emporia Gazette.

MADE A GULF TRIP.
C. M. Harger Recommends It as a Rest Cure.
Prof. C. M. Harger, head of the department of journalism, went to New Orleans last week to attend the Shriners' convention. While on the trip he went as a passenger on a freight boat from New Orleans to Mobile and back. In his paper, the Abilene Reflector, he describes the voyage and recommends that kind of outing for Kansas people:
"The boat cruises along the coast, stopping at little towns with freight until it reaches well down on the west coast of Florida. Then it returns and makes its week-end stop at New Orleans. It has for the western novelty and change; it is a good time to rest and enjoy a few days in peace undisturbed by telephone calls and the demands of business. It makes one of the best rest cure imaginable and if some people would take a few days out of New Orleans in such a journey instead of spending frantic weeks at expensive hotels in Colorado they would not only save money but accomplished much in health and recreation."
Prof. R. A. Schweegler speaks a Rossville tonight and at Mitchel tomorrow evening. The addresses will be made before county teachers associations.

TO IMPROVE THE USE OF ENGLISH
COLLEGE FACULTY CONSID ERING NEW PLANS.
Even a Senior Who Uses Poor English May Have to Re-enter Freshman Rhetoric.
If you belong to the "had ought," "has went," and "give it to John and 1" school of English expression, watch out, for there is trouble looming in the offing for you. The faculty of the College is considering a new movement for the conservation of the mother tongue in a pure state among undergraduates of the University. The plan will be voted on at the next meeting of the College faculty, which probably will be held next week.
A rule may then be passed which provides that any student in the University, at any time in his course following his freshman year, may have his credit for freshman rhetoric withdrawn when it appears from the papers handed in in his class work that his use of language is defective The student will then be required to enroll once more in freshman rhetoric, and to pick up the important points of English structure which he missed in his freshman year.
"The English preparation of students entering the University varies widely," said a member o the College faculty this morning "It is possible for a man actually to earn his credit in freshman rhetoric by any test which the department of English can apply and then go on using exerciable English in every paper he writes during the rest of his course."
The importance which the University attaches to the correct use of English is shown in the face that rhetoric is the only subject that is required of every student who enters the University. Following is the plan which will be submitted to the College faculty at its next meeting: Proposed Plan for Creating Grad
Amend present rule which reads "Rhetoric, five hours, must be taken by all freshmen not offering it as a fourth year of entrance English, by adding 'credit granted for this subject will be provisional and may be withdrawn at any time before graduation if the student's command of English is seriously defective."
Provide further as follows:
College instructors will take note of their students' use of the English language and when making final reports of grades upon the work of any course they will indicate in each case their opinion of whether the students' command of English is satisfactory.
Whenever any instructor reports that a student is deficient in his use of the English language the registrar will notify the student of the fact and warn him that he is in danger of losing his credit in freshman rhetoric.
Whenever two or more of a student's instructors make adverse reports, the registrar will notify the English department of that fact and will cancel the student's credit for rhetoric. The English department may suspend the action of the registrar when ever it is apparent that such cancellation of credit would be unjust. Unless the department thus intervenes the student will be required to ce-enroll in the subject at his earliest opportunity. When possible, special classes will be provided for such students.
RARE SPECIMENS.
Mounted and Placed in the Mu seum.
Some very rare specimens of Lamia Portheus and Khthyopeetes have been purchased by the University for the Muesum. All of the specimens were found in the famous chalk beds of Trega county, and as the Lamha—or shark—and Portheus were found together, it appears that they were fighting and were killed by each other, or were killed at the same time by some larger animal.
These specimens are very rare, and if properly mounted the Lamma alone would be over thirty feet long, but as there is no suitable place in the Museum for such a large case, the specimens will be mounted in sections and placed in the hallway of the third floor.

TO COMPLETE ENLISTMENT
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF MEN FOR COMPANY "A."
Recruiting Officer Shifter Expects to Have Required Number This Week.
C. R. Shiffler, who is organizing a company of the Kansas National Guard among the students of the University, expects to have the maximum number of enlistments for a Guard company by the end of this week. The physical examinations will be made by Captain Carl Phillips, in hi office at the Fraternal Aid building.
Several causes have contributed to delay in completing the organization. Some of the signers of the original petition asking for the formation of the company are under 21 years old, and are having trouble in getting the consent of their parents, which is necessary before they can be enlisted. Still other signers are suffering from an attack of "cold feet" fearing that Membership in the Guard will hinder them in the pursuit of their business. Mer who have had experience in the National Guard say that such fear is groundless. There are a number of reasonable excuses for which discharges are granted. Any man whose business arrangements are interfered with by his membership can easily get a discharge.
It is the plan of Captain Shiffle to take the company into camp near Lawrence for target practice during commencement week but attendance at this encampment will be voluntary. The company will be in camp at Fort Riley for ten days prior to the opening of school next fall. According to reports the maneuver camp will be composed of all regular army and national guard organizations between the Mississippi river and the Rocky Mountains.

THE TIGERS THIS WEEK
EBRIGHT'S TEAM MEET MIS SOURIANS ON McCOOK.
Kansas Dropped a Game to The Washburnites Yesterday—The Line-up and Score.
"We will win from Missouri in both games here if the pitcher work right," said Coach Ebright this morning. "At the present time the whole team is fielding and hitting in fine shape, but Farrell seems to be the only pitcher who can locate the plate. If Heizer and Doyle steady down think that we should have no trouble in annexing both games."
The Tigers who come here for a two day's session tomorrow and Saturday have thus far this season been putting up a great game. Coach Ebright is evidently worried about the way in which men will perform and is basing all his hopes for victory on their being "right." The line-up for Friday will be the same as heretofore, with Farrell as the probable offering.
Yesterday in a game in wood the wildness of the local pitcher played a conspicuous part, the lads from Washburn stole a game from Ebright's proteges in a ten round fight-fest. The kind treatment accorded the Congregationalists last Saturday by the local was reciprocated yesterday by the Capital city lads and when the whistle blew at the end of the tenth inning, the score-boy hung up a 7 to 6 sign with Washburn carrying the big load.
Kansas got off on the wrong foot. Heizer in the opening session allowed three of the opponents to seamper across the pan. The hoodoo still remained and he allowed two more of the rivals to pedal the circuit in safety. He lasted until the fifth, but because of wildness was replaced by Farrell, who pitched good, steady ball. At no time was he bumped hard and his control was almost perfect.

TIGERS DROP FIRST GAME
SMOKE TOO DENSE FOR MIS SOURIANS YESTERDAY.
So They Were Unable to Find as Many Scores as the Jayhawks Another Today.
The swatfest held yesterday afternoon resulted in the defeat of the visiting Missourians. Sixteen knots were deftly placed in the Tiger's caudal appendage by the Jayhawk but in the proceeding the noble bird lost six pinfeathers.
Haydon, who was the first Missouri offering, got in bad with the local binglers in the very first spasm, and four hits, two of them for three-bases each, coupled with an error, permitted three of the K. U. runners to dent the rubber before the smoke cleared away. In the second inning Palmer led off with a double and slipped over the pan when Hayden and Alexander made mistakes.
In the fourth the Tigers took a sudden liking to Farrell's twist ers and assisted by a pass and an error, managed to tie the score.
Ebright's men then rose in their wrath at this inexcusable liberty and pounded out three more in the fifth. Doyle went in for Farrell and held the enemy to one run captured in the sixth. At the opening of the eighth Canto resigned in favor of Lock, who also let one Tiger escape him.
Mr. Marshall, of Columbia, was sent in to stem the rising tide in the fifth and he managed to keep back the flood for an inning and a half, then it burst upon him and he went under with a splash It was the lucky seventh and the Rockeyites knew it. They rose and snope Marshall's slow shoots for a mere trifle of seven runs. In the eighth they gleaned a couple more and then decided that their lead was safe enough to cease firing and got ready for the prom.
One Slip Hanlon carried away the batting honors. With his new stick he lined out two three-base hits and a homer. "Bun" was also the leader in the bobble department, having three mistakes credited to him by the scorer.
The fielding features of the game were two fast double plays the first put on in the initial and the second in the seventh inning
Batteries: Farrell, Doyle, Locke and Rockefeller. Missouri: Haydon, Marshall and Kline.

Struck out: By Haydon 3, by

GAVE DECISION TODAY.
Case of Sig .Alphs vs. Mrs Brownlee Settled.
The decision in the case of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity vs. Mrs. Ana Brown was rendered by Judge Brooks, in whose court the suit was tried. The fraternity was sued by Mrs. Brownlee the owner of the house in which
the fraternity men are living, for rent which, it was said, had not been paid by the fraternity. The members of the fraternity stated that the rent was unpaid because they had been called upon to settle for some plumbing which was done in the house,and which they said should have been paid by Mrs Brownlee.
The amount of the plumbing bill was $28.15 and by the decision today the Sig Alphs are instructed to pay $9.95 of that bill. They are also required to pay to Mrs. Brownlee $8.00, being the price of four locks which had been broken. The costs of the trial $10, were assessed against the Sig Alphs.
A party of eight friends of Miss Helen James came up from Williamsburg in automobiles for her recital Wednesday evening.

JUNIOR PROM WAS SUCCESS
DETAILS OF THE BIG PARTY WELL WORKED OUT.
Every Phase of Entertainment Complete—Standard Set by Former Classes Uphold.
The class of 1911 is to be congratulated. The seventh annual Junior prom, held in the Robinson gymnasium last night, was a success in every sense of the word All of the details of the entertainment were well worked out and each fitted into its place in such a manner as to make the entire afair successful.
The farce started shortly after ten and lasted an hour. It was in the opinion of all who have seen Junior farces before, the best ever given. The play this year was entirely original and embodied not only a number of well written lines but several catchy original song hits as well. These together with a east well trained in stage business, may be said to have "made" the farce.
The grand march started shortly after midnight, and the regular program of dances about 1 o'clock. Twenty-four dances were waltzed and two-stepped before Hall's orchestra played Home Sweet Home and the prom-goers made their way homeward at 5 o'clock this morning.
Two features of the party which played their parts in making the prom what it was were the decorations and the refreshments. Although the decoration committee was seriously hampered in its work by the fact that they were unable to begin placing the decorations in the big hall until yesterday morning, a unique scheme was carried out. The gym was transformed into a Japanese garden. The decorations while not so intricate as last years, were in perfect taste and entirely adequate.
The refreshments were served on the first floor of the building and consisted of a two-course luncheon. The service was good and little trouble was experienced in serving all of the dancers About 500 peoole attended.
RECITALS NEXT WEEK

WILL DEBATE TIGERS
University Debaters Will Meet Missouri Team in Fraser Tonight—Subject Income Tax.
The annual debate with Missouri will take place in Fraser hall to night. H. C. Marks, a junior law and R. M. Perkins, a senior in the College, will defend the negative side of the question, "Resolved That an income tax is a desirable means of raising revenue within the state." The team from Missouri is composed of A. P. Priestly and C. C. Byers.
MAKES A REQUEST.
Priestly from Columbia, is said to be the star in the debating firmament of the Tiger school. Marks and Perkins are at the head of the ranks in debating circles in the University and the outlook is for an interesting clash this evening.
Chancellor Wants no Trouble at Baker.
Chancellor Frank Strong today sent the following communication to The Kansas, with reference to the special train, which will go to Baldwin Monday for the Kansas-Baker base ball game:
To the Editor of The Kansan:
My attention has been called to the fact that our base ball team plays with Baker at Baldwin, on May 2, and that a few years ago on a similar occasion there was some trouble between the students of the two institutions. Vice President Parmenter, of Baker University, now in charge of the University in President Murlin's absence, and myself are very anxious that there shall be no disord or trouble between the two student bodies at the game next Monday, and I therefore urge our people to be courteous in their conduct, and careful of the good name of the University of Kansas.
FRANK STRONG,
Chancellor.
Baker vs. Kansas,
TWO ADDRESSES BY STATESMAN
Monday, May 2nd Baldwin, Kansas.
Large Crowds Listened to Addresses on Contemporary History and Higher Education.
JAMES BRYCE LECTURED AND MADE CHAPEL TALK.
James Bryce, ambassador from Great Britain to the United States, went to Kansas City this morning after a two-days' visit at the University of Kansas, during which time he made two addresses at the University and attended the junior prom as the guest of honor. Today the Ambassador spoke to the school teachers of Kansas City, Kansas. Tonight he will address the Knife and Fork clug at Kansas City. Prof, Jesse Macy of Grinnell College accompanied Ambassador Bryce.
Ambassador Bryce expressed to Chancellor Strong his gratification at having been able to visit the University. "It has been an interesting and profitable experience to me," he said.
Seniors Lack Credit.
The lecture given Thursday evening in Robinson Gymnasium was attended by an assemblage of University and town people which filled the large hall to its capacity. The subject was "The History of Our Time." The speaker described contemporary history as the most interesting history and mentioned the subjects which in his opinion are most deserving of attention by the student of history.
The general subject of University education was the theme upon which the Ambassador spoke before a crowded chapel at the regular service yesterday morning. Mr. Bryce opened his talk with an appreciation of the beauties of the view from Mount Oread. "You are fortunate far above other Universities in having your school placed on this lofty and wind-swept top," he said. Chancellor Strong gave a luncheon in honor of Ambassador Bryce yesterday at which President A. Ross Hill of the University of Missouri, President H. J. Waters of the State Agricultural College the Regents of the University and local newspaper men were the guests. In the evening Prof. and Mrs. F. H. Hodder entertained at dinner in honor of the Ambassador, and later a reception was given to members of the faculty at the Chancellor's residence. Ambassador Bryce was present at the performance of the junior faree after the reception.
Registrar George O. Foster has been checking up the records of the seniors this week and as is the case each year, has found many students are lacking in the required number of credits for graduation. Thus far he has completed the checking of College seniors and in consequence has sent out about fifty requests for interviews. He hopes to see all such Monday or Tuesday and later in the week will talk with other students about their shortages.

Enough has been said about the deficiencies of college training in the use of English to make any plan to improve it of interest. The one now before the faculty of the College, which provides that a student who shows in his class work that he cannot write good English shall be required to take Rhetoric I a second time, may not be adopted as a University rule but has the merit of being a well thought-out plan to make college training more efficient. As one member of the faculty said, the object of the rule is not to punish anybody for not knowing how to write, but to bring instruction home to the place where it is most needed. It is hard to see how the new rule could be otherwise than beneficial to students. In fact, it is hard to see any objection to it, other than that it may be rather hard on the English instructors, who already have to read about all the bad English they can stand.
The two addresses delivered at the University by Ambassador Bryce, made a valuable addition to the year's experience for every student. As the only state University to entertain Ambassador Bryce on his western trip, the University of Kansas is especially fortunate, and the large attendance at the lectures showed that University people completely appreciated their good fortune
Miss Hazel Kelly of Paola, who attended the University last semester, is visiting at the Pi Ph house today. Miss Kelly will leave for an extended European trip May 16.

NOTICE.
The Chemical Engineers Challenge
The Mining Engineers To a Ball Game,
To be played on any date the challenged may choose to play. Losing side to set up a keg of beer (vant or otherwise.)
Done this 27th day of April, 1910.
The above was placed on the bulletin board of the Mining building Wednesday and the following answer shortly afterward appeared on the bulletin board in the chemistry building:
NOTICE.
The Mining Engineers are pleased to accept the Challenge of the Chemical Engin
To a game of ball to be Played in the near future. The losing side to set up a large keg of otherwise. MINING ENGINEERS
Signed, MINING ENGINEERS
When this much advertised affair is to take place has not yet been definitely settled. A "hitch" has been caused in the arrangements, it is said, through the fact that the teams do not agree on exactly how many gallons a "large keg" contains. None of the players have ever indulged in this game before, but it is expected that many "three baggers" will be the result of the contest, since the managers of both teams have agreed to place the keg of "otherwise" on third base. This is done, it is said, so that the lucky ones who get this far may refresh themselves.
It is also said that a larger key of this so-called "otherwise" will be placed behind the catcher, as an inducement to bring the players away from the "oasis" or third.
LOST TO HASKELL.
Freshmen Made a Lone Score in Game With Indians.
Hal Harlan's bunch, with the exceptions of the second inning in which five runs were scored by the Indians, out-played. Haskell in all departments, but could not overcome the result of that fatal second.
The freshman baseball team took the small end of a 5 to 1 score Thursday afternoon when they played the Haskell Indians on the Indians' ground.
At the meeting of the Board of Regents yesterday, Rose Morgan, '94, who is now teaching in Topeka, and Benjamin F. Stelter, '05, now at Yale, were elected instructors in rhetoric at the University. They will take their positions next year.
The feature of the day was the long hit made by Ben Davis which resulted in the one loner run of the freshmen.

KANSAS WITHDRAWS.
By the action of the Athletic board at its last meeting, the University of Kansas voluntarily withdrew from the Kansas Conference of Athletics. The action means that the University will meet all future athletic aggregations under the rules of the Missouri Valley conference only. As a result the football games which are regularly scheduled with such teams as the Normals, St. Marys, the Aggies, and Washburn, will either be discontinued or those schools will be required to meet the University under the Conference rules.
From the State Athletic Conference.
There is probably no doubt but that the smaller state schools will agree to play under the new rules. Washburn has already stated that she is willing to accept the restrictions.
Professors Carruth, Sisson, and Hunter returned Thursday morning from their visit to colleges of the state.
Faculty Members Return.
McPherson College at McPherson, Cooper Memorial at Sterling and Bethany-College at Newton were visited.
The Kansas medical society will meet on May 4,5 and 6, in Topeka. Dr. Sudler and Dr. Schorel of the School of Medicine will read papers.

- At the address given Thursday night in Robinson gymnasium Ambassador Bryce spoke in part as follows:
"I do not know of any people who would have a greater interest in the study of history, for few states of the union had a more remarkable history than Kansas. One of my earliest recollections is that of hearing the trouble in Kansas from 1855 to 1860 discussed. In England and Sotland the people were much interested in the border struggle. It was a dark prospect. We wondered if the issue of slavery would be determined by the struggle in Kansas.
"No history is more interesting than the history of the present. The best histories are those written by people about the events that happened in their own time and country. They show the emotions stirring men and the motives underlying act But the writing of contemporary history is especially difficult because not all the facts are known perhaps at the time of writing, and the writer is likely to be more or less influenced by partisan feelings. Even in the United States, where there is today more publicity than there is now or ever has been in any other country, we do not know all the facts underlying important events Despite its difficulties, however, contemporary history always must be written.
"The past is always a part of the present. Knowledge of the past is the interpretation of the present, in the nation and the individual. All that we are and do exists because of something that existed in the past.
"We are all making history, whether or no we write it or study it. The world will not be the same after us as it would have been if we had never existed.
"Out of the immense number of forces playing around us, students of history must determine what are the main ones. To do this we must study opinions and the courses of opinions rather than unrelated facts. The facts which make opinions are the important facts in a democracy. They can best be learned by studying opinions.
"The significant thing about opinions is the change which takes place in them. Study the causes that lead to a veering of opinion. In a country like the United States, consisting of a vast number of unrelated groups, one must study the relative magnitude of the groups and the relative volume of opinion. Endeav or to find out the reasons for things. If opinion is growing or changing, it is important to know why.
"Never despise a minority. The history of free countries is the history of minorities that grew until they became majorities. This is illustrated in your great Civil war. The party which favored the abolition of slavery in the North was once a despised faction, but it was a passionate minority which came in time to impress its opinion upon the mass of people. I do not believe, if the question had been left to a
vote, that the south would ever have seceded. There was another case where a minority, through its arbor dominated the majority.
"The student of history should be always independent. His conscience and his opinion should be in his own keeping; but at the same time he should defer to superior minds. It is better on the whole to form your opinion from talking with individual men rather than from what you read in periodicals, although you must of course derive a great part of your information from reading. One should, before making up his own mind on a question finally, talk it over with the wisest man he knows and also with a man who is just an average man. Let their opinions enter into the forming of your own."
Don't confine your study, especially of large questions, to your own country. In order to determine what are great facts and what are small, you must know what influences are working in other countries. When you learn that the same opinions are held by many men in different countries on a great question you find yourself in the presence of a world-movement. Worldmovements are best worth studying. Three of them I regard as especially important.
"The first is the contact of the advanced and backward races of mankind. The world was never so small as it is now, the contact never so close. A rising in China, a revolution in South America affect the business of a merchant in the United States. The interior of Africa, which sixty years ago was unknown, is now parceled out between five or six European powers. The contact with Japan and China, the annexation of the Philippines, have given rise to new problems, ethical, social and political.
"In two aspects the advanced races are the aggressors—in conquest and in being lenders and traders. The civilized merchant makes the backward race take his goods and pay for them, ever though the customer would like nothing better than to be left alone. There are also two ways in which the backward races immpinge upon us. One is by emigrating into countries of the advanced races. The other is by entering into industrial competition with advanced races. The latter may yet be a serious thing for us."
The second great problem is that of the classes who are now trying to use their political power to benefit their material condition. These movements are now more active than ever before They are the natural result of putting political power into the hands of the masses. At the present time probably three-fourths of the political questions in the United States and a large proportion in England touch upon the relation of organized capital to the remainder of the community
"The immense shifting of populations is another great world" movement which has been prominent in the last fifty years. It is greater than anything of the sort that has taken place since the fifth and sixth centuries of our era. Since 1845 unnumbered millions of people have poured from Europe into North and South America. The tide seems now to be checked, but the influence which the mingling of many peoples will have upon your country constitutes a great problem.
ious thought.
"Because of their wide sweep and their immense significance I commend these problems as being worth while to students of the history of our own time."
"A fourth great movement which I shall merely mention is the influence which the dominance of natural science is effecting on modern ethical and religious
ON HIGHER EDUCATION
The Subject of Mr. Bryce's Chapel Address Friday Morning Advanced Improvements.
There is nothing in this country that I have noticed with greater pleasure than the continued advance of universities. The last thirty years has seen the establishment and development by state legislatures, of a large number of state institutions of higher education, to which liberal grants of money are made yearly, and besides these nearly every state contains its independent universities or colleges of high merit. This witnesses to the enlightened wisdom and zeal, both of private persons and of the state authorities who rightly think nothing better could be done for the youth than to place before them the amplest facilities for the prosecuting of every kind of study. How much such facilities are appreciated is shown by the large and constantly increasing attendance not only at the universities supported by the states, but also for colleges of private foundation.
"Knowing well what they are doing, I feel a sincere affection for the Universities of America. I admire the earnestness which the instructors and professors in your schools throw into their work, even though it is almost always insufficiently remunerated. I expect great results from the diffusion of knowledge among all classes of the people, and believe that many men of natural gifts who might otherwise have been left without adequate training, will be able to render admirable service to the community as writers, teachers, and workers for the public good.
"There is, I believe, no country in the world in which so large a proportion of the young men and women are now receiving an education of the university type as in the United States. In all probability the students of your country have now all the institutions of higher education that
are necessary. What is most needed at this time is to develop the efficiency of these institutions. This should be done by increasing the teaching staff and providing for higher salaries so that the best men possible may be secured. It may also be done by the developing of those branches of study which, while they are not likely to be most popular, are essential to a thorough education. It is not only the applied sciences which should be taught in your university. You should not think that all education of the liberal type rests upon the thorough knowledge of such courses as agricultural chemistry and engineering. On the other hand remember that theoretic sciences such as economics, chemistry, physics and biology are all important.
"Moreover, there is even greater danger in all countries today of neglecting the literary or humanistic subjects such as philosophy, history and philology. Without ample provision for the teaching of these branches of learning, no institution deserves the name of university. And so I would remind you as students that while you are here you are not preparing yourselves merely for your vocational life, but also for life itself. You must acquire those interests and tastes which will give you enjoyment in after years. You must learn to love literature and history and to think about the great things which have been treated in the works of the most famous writers of olden times.
"Never be afraid to spend time on studies which seem remote to our own times. From the ancient writers of Greece and Rome, from the great poets of later times, such as Dante Shakespeare, and Milton, there is still to be gathered such fruit as does not grow on any trees of today. And remember in every study, whether it be scientific literary or historical,the essential thing is to be thorough, to face and master ever difficulty, to be sure that what you know is known accurately. The habit of sound and careful independent thinking is the best intellectual quality a young man can start with in his journey through life."

Special to The Kansar.
Norman, Ok., April 30.—By a unanimous decision, Oklahoma won on the affirmative side of the Postal Savings bank question here last night in the debate with Kansas.
The representatives of Kansas emphasized the need, practicability and far-reaching advantages of the postal system. The negative showed the obstacles and advocated instead a segregation of savings deposits and branch banks. The rebuttal given by W. T. Griffin was spirited.
After the debate the Kansas team was entertained at a reception given in the Y. M. C. A rooms.
The meeting of the ladies of the faculty, which was set for May 7, has been postponed until May 9.
