GIVE DICTATOR AT BOWERSOCK
THE FOURTEENTH PERFORMANCE WAS A SUCCESS.
A Large Crowd Greeted the University Actors Last Evening —The Plot a Clever One.
A large audience greeted the Masque club actors last night at the Bowersock in the first performance of "The Dietator." The play, which is the fourteenth for the club, compares very favorably with the best among the forme productions. It is a three-act comedy with a pleasing plot, and an admirable vehicle for the use o amateur talent.
The story of the play is this: A young New Yorker and his vale are charged excessive fare by a cabman. They refuse to pay it and a scruff ensues. The cabman is struck down by the New Yorker in self-defense. The injured man's condition is thought to be dangerous by the two young men and they flee to Porto Banos on the steamer Bolivar. There the New Yorker, whose name is Brooke Travers, finds the country, in a state of insurrection and finally decides to set himself up a Dictator, after the new American consul has transferred his credentials to Travers.
The first scene is laid on the deck of the steamer and the other two in the consulate at Porto Banos. Howard Wykoff plays the part of Brooke Travers. He is supported by William Cane, who takes the role of the valet. A wireless operator on board the ship is one of the important factors in keeping the plot moving. The part is played by Harold Wilson. The United States consul who decides not to accept his position, is played by Lewis Breyfogle and Cornelia Hardcastle takes the part of his newly-wedded, trusting wife. Clarence Connor portrays the role of Duffy, an over-zealous detective, and A.W. Hosier is the unfortunate Rev. Arthur Bostick, who falls into Duffy's hands as an innocent man charged with a crime. Wayne Wingart plays the part of the Captain of the ship and later doubles in two more minor parts.
The new president of Porte Banos, who has gained his position by a revolution, is played by John Alcorn. His health officer is Alex Johnson. Arthur Fast is Senator Jose Dravo, the proprietor of the hotel of the United States consultate. Sarah Morrison plays the part of his wife. The part of Ida Belle Sheridan, a young missionary, is taken by Bosse Vance and her sister is Vashti Bitter. Ward Maurer is the lieutenant on the U. S. S. Oregon and arrives at Porto Banos in time to save all of the Americans from a dark fate. Miss Helen Morrow takes the role of Juanita,a Spanish maiden, who is in love with each of the Americans at different times during the development of the plot.
The show is given under the direction of Miss Gertrude Mossler head of the department of expression. The performance last night reflected much credit upon her work. France Wilson is manager of the production. The second performance will be given to night.
There was one noticeable feature last night. It was the lack of noise and "rooting" which usually emanates from the gallery.
FOUND SULPHO-CYANIDE.
Professor Bushong Gives Testi-
mony in the G. H. Buck Case.
Prof. F, W. Bushong, of the department of chemistry, returned Tuesday evening from Greensburg, Kan. There he was a witness at the preliminary hearing of Dr. G. H. Buek, accused of poisoning his wife, who died suddenly a month ago. Professor Bushong testified that he found no cyanide poison as such,because it very rapidly decomposes. What he did find was only the results of its decomposition—sulpho cyanide.
Dr. W. K. Trimble, of the School of Medicine at Rosedale also testified that death was not natural, as the examination of the body exhumed two weeks after burial showed.
As a result of the testimony Dr. Buck was bound over to the spring term of court.
MISQUOTED MASKER
Referee Says He Never Made Statements Ascribed to Him by St. Louis Paper.
James C. Masker of Kansas City, who refereed the Thanksgiving football game, in a conversation over the telephone with a reporter for The Kansan today, denied that he had made any comment on the game reflecting in any way upon the fairness of the decisions of Lieutenant Thompson, the umpire.
"No, I did not tell President Hill that I would have disqualified Thompson as an official if I could," said Mr. Masker, when quotations from St. Louis papers were read to him. "In fact I should not know President Hill if I saw him. Nor did the thought of wanting to put Thompson out of the game occur to me. That is an absurd statement, like a number of other fairy stories I have heard since the game. I said nothing of the sort to Coach Hollenback, either.
"I was not watching Lieutenant Thompson during the game He had his work to do and I had a different work. But I have no reason to think that any of his decisions were unfair."
GYM TEAM IS READY
Mr. Masker evinced considerable interest in the statements which are ascribed to him in the St. Louis papers. He said he had not heard of some of them until today.
A gymnastic team of five university men, under the direction of C. B. Root, gymnasium instructor, will leave December 19 for a two weeks' tour of Kansas. These men have worked up an excellent program of tumbling, boxing, juggling and Indian club swinging The schedule of their trip calls for twelve nights' entertainment, and will take them as far west as Hays City, Kan.
Will Do Twelve Nights' Tumbling During Holidays.
The men who compose the team are: Geo. Bbbab, Tim Shotts John Ghornley, Howard Pauly, John Brownlee, and C. B. Root.
New Lights on Campus.
Four more of the new lights are soon to be placed on the campus. One will be situated north of Blake Hall, one north of the repair shop, one southwest of the museum, and one west of the engineering building.
FOUR OF FACULTY BUILD A LODGE
AT CAMERON $ BLUF THEY GO "BACK TO THE SOIL."
The Men Are Building Cabin Where They Plan to Pitch Horse Shoes and Play Marbles.
Chancellor Frank Strong, Dean Olin Templin of the College, Professor H. P. Cady of the department of chemistry, and Professor W. H. Johnson, the high school visitor, are spending their Saturdays and extra holidays in the woods near Cameron's bluff working on the small cabin. It stands directly back of the spring at Cameron's Bluff, but deeper in the woods than the average visitor wanders. This cabin is not built of logs, but of ordinary millsawed lumber which has been hauled from town. The owners are doing most of the building work themselves; they spent their Thanksgiving holidays there and expect to complete the lodge during the two weeks at Christmas time.
A "back to the soil" movement which has been agitated among the people of the cities evidently has reached the University, for about four miles up the Kaw river, deep within the woods, a small frame lodge or cabin is being erected by four of the first men of the University.
A small kitchen is being installed so that hot food may be served. The men own a powerboat in which they and their friends make short excursions up the river and Cameron's Bluff was selected as being the end o a comfortable trip.
Dean Templin, when asked the reasons for undertaking such a project, said they were the same reasons that any twelve-year old boy has for going out in the hills and digging a cave, only that they are past the cave-digging stage.
Harvey county students of the University will meet at Prof. W. J. Baumgartner's residence at 1601 Tennessee street, Saturday, December 3, at 7 p.m., to make plans for a Christmas celebration,
"It is an attempt to get away from the conventionalities of more civilized life at the University and to obtain a little absolute rest," said the Dean. "The chief game in which we expect to indulge is that of pitching horseshoes, but if we can raise enough capital we may also play marbles, though even then we will have to restrict the game to "funnies."
A hunting lodge is maintained by Professors A. T. Walker, S. J. Hunter, F. H. Billings, and L. N. Flint south of the University on the Wakarusa river. A small house was moved out from town to the banks of the stream where the men have permission from three farmers to hunt over a square mile of the land along the stream. Cooking utensils and all the paraphernalia necessary for comfort over night was taken out and the owners often go to their lodge for the fun of the evening and morning shooting.
Harvey County Students to Meet.
This plan was started last year when game was abundant, but this year Professor Walker says they have succeeded in getting but comparatively few ducks and snipes.
Edith Lawson, who has been doing graduate work in elecution at the University, has returned to her home in Russell. Miss Lawson expects to go to Chicago after the holidays, where she will continue her study in elecution.
A BAND CONCERT SOON
Musical Organization Will Appear on December 14.
The University band of forty pieces will give a concert in Frazer hall Wednesday evening, December 14. The band this year is an exceedingly creditable one and under the direction of Prof J. C. McCanles has developed into a concert band that plays everything from classical music to "BooLa." A pieceo solo by Charles Robinson and a tenor saxaphone solo by Ralph L. Marlin will constitute the special features of the performance. Professor McCanles is extremely enthusiastic over the material in his organization and expects to give the student body an entertaining program of classical and popular selections.
An added feature of the concert will be a solo sung by Professor Hubach. The band will play the accompaniment.
Ralph W. Cone, associate professor of economics, today handed his resignation from the University faculty to Dean Templin of the College.
III Health Compels Retirement From Position in Department of Economics.
PROF. CONE RESIGNS
Professor Cone's resignation was made necessary by ill health. He became ill at the beginning of the last school year, and was unable to meet his classes a large part of the year. His work was taken by Professors Boynton and Parmelee. Professor Cone hoped to be able to take up his work in a short time, but about March 1 found that it would be impossible and secured a leave of absence until July 1. Thomas A. Nevins took his classes the remainder of the year.
At the beginning of the present term, Professor Cone felt well enough to take up his work again, but his old illness returned. Prof F. W. Blackmar and Prof. A. J Boynton now have Professor Cone's classes in addition to their own, until some one can be secured for the position.
Professor Cone has been a member of the University faculty since 1899 and associate professor of sociology and economics since 1906. He received his A. B. degree from the University of Kansas in 1895, and the degree of A.M. from Harvard in 1897.
HERMES STAFF FOR MEDICS
They of Skull and Cross Bones to Be Distinctive.
The freshmen medic class, consisting of twenty-eight members not to be outdone by the engineers and the senior laws, have decided upon an article of dress that will serve to distinguish them. It is to be a dark blue jersey, with the staff of Hermes on the bosom.
Hermes, as every medic knows was the patron of the medicine as St. Patrick was of the engineers. His staff around which two serpents are entwined, and which is surmounted by a pair of wings is symbolic of deep learning in the lore of powders and pills.
Emma Maughlin, '09, spent the Thanksgiving vacation at her home in Lawrence. Miss Maughlin is teaching history and Latin in the Canton high school.
"Mike" Lynch and Floyd Ogden, senior electrical engineers have been at Lincoln, Kan., the past week, studying for their thesis the new electric light plant.
EXPLOSION FILLED EYES WITH GLASS
FRANK BELDING POURED WATER INTO SODIUM.
Accident in Chemistry Lab. This Afternoon May Cost College Junior His Sight.
Frank Belding, a junior in the College, whose home is at Pleasanton, will lose the sight of one eye and probably of both as the result of an explosion of sodium, which took place in the organic chemistry laboratory this afternoon.
Belding had been using ether in an experiment in connection with sodium and had some metallic sodium as residue in a flask. He poured water into the flask and the explosion which followed drove particles of the flask into the left eye through the lowe-lid. The right eye was not injured by the glass, but was severely injured by the sodium which entered it.
The injured student was taker to the Simmons hospital, where his wounds were cared for. A severe cut was found in his left arm in which two stitches were taken. Dr. M. T. Sudler, after examining Belding's wounds, said the sight of one eye would be lost, but that there is a chance that the right eye may be saved.
Dr. McAllister, an eye specialist on the staff of the clinical department at the University a Kansas City, has been sent for and will take charge of the case where he reaches Lawrence on an evening train.
Two other students, Charles Kubick and Linden Green, who were standing near Belding when the sodium exploded, were struck by particles of glass and received slight injuries. Following the explosion of the sodium flask, the ether which Belding had been using blew up, but the second explosion had no effect other than to throw particles of glass all over the laboratory.
SPOKE TO CHEMICALS.
Two Assistants addressed the Club Yesterdav.
W. A. Hobbs and I. W. Humphrey, assistants in the department of chemistry, addressed the Chemical club yesterday evening in the chemistry building.
Mr. Hobbs spoke about the stability of hydro-carbons and illus trated his talk with diagrams.
Mr. Humphrey told of the life of August Kekule, a leading German chemist of the last century Prof. Herman A. Allen of the chemistry department will give the talk at the next meeting.
No Glee Concert This Year.
There will be no winter concert of the University Glee club before the Christmas vacation. The hand-books given out the first part of the year by the Y. M. C. A. gave the date of the first performance as Tuesday, December 6, but Professor Hubach this morning stated that no attempt at a public appearance before a University audience will be made until the first of next year.

THE FOOTBALL BANQUET.
The football banquet tomorrow night is a means of honoring the team which should be participated in by a large proportion of the student body. The University was represented on the gridiron this year by a squad of good athletes who played a clean game always and who were in the game every minute of play. There are no "quitters" in the bunch. The only game they lost during the season went to the premier team in the Missouri Valley this year by a much smaller score than was anticipated. In every way, the Kansas squad met the problems of the schedule crediably. A good attendance and rousing enthusiasm at the banquet is the best way to show the players that their good work is appreciated by the students whose representatives they were
Another feature of the banquet is that it will mark the dividing line between the old and the new system of coaching in the Missouri Valley. The chances are that Kennedy and Mosse will never again in the old way teach University of Kansas athletes to play clean ball and win victories. What the future has in store under the new system can only be guessed at, but certainly the veteran coaches have left a record which may well be a source of pride always to them and to the University. And the banquet will be also in the nature of a farewell to them and there the students can set the seal of their approval on the long and faithful service and splendid achievements of Coaches Kennedy and Mosse.
Following the precedent established some years ago, the University Y. M.C. A. has charge of the arrangements for the football banquet. A large affair of this kind always means a lot of hard work and worry, and the only reward the members of the Association will receive for their work will be the satisfaction of having demonstrated again the Association's usefulness to the University.
"The best play ever shown the University public," is what one of the dramatic organizations
promises, for next spring. That is a large promise and to keep it the organization will have to do a lot of work before the grass grows green again.
Coach Hollenback's story about how he and a lot of infuriated Missourians 'chased an official to cover after the Thanksgiving game recalls the sort of amenities that used to be observed on the border just before Kansas became a state, the only difference being that in the early days such incidents were real while the one related by the Missouri coach was only an imaginary one.
New Football Rules.
The consensus of the football authorities is that the new rules, which were given a thorough try-out this season, lessen the danger to players, if they do not increase the interest on the part of the spectators. This decision will have weight with those outside the official circle, but who are nevertheless deeply interested in the game. The statisticians do not entirely agree as to the extent to which the risk to players has been decreased, some claiming that the figures show more persons injured this season than ever before. Several instances of rowdyism and brutality, how ever, have been emphasized unduly by those who desire a return to the old rules. Against these exceptional cases must be placed the very general opinion that the most objectionable features of the game as formerly played have been eliminated.
It can hardly be denied that the opportunity for rough play—and with players not animated by the spirit of true sportsmanship an opportunity is always a temptation—has been lessened and the very complaint that has been heard at times, to the effect that the game has been "molly-coddled," is an argument in favor of the new rules. The game would much better be abolished entirely than that there should be even a tacit admission that spectators go to experience the thrill of possible serious casualties among the players. If it is now harder for rowdyism to manifest itself a long step in the right direction has been taken. The most ardent admirers of the new rules do not claim that they are perfect, but the tendency is toward a higher standard of

sportsmanship. This much must be admitted, and those who prefer a more strenuous form of the sport are open to the suspicion that they are actuated by a wrong spirit. Any further changes of the rules will unquestionably be along these lines, all tending to make the game the ideal sport of amateurs.-Kansas City Journal.
What's the Matter With Prexy?
It used to be a reproach to President Eliot's administration that Harvard seldom won the Yale game in football. Many Harvard men even held him personally responsible. Two Yale games have now been played since his successor came into office, and it cannot be said that the Lowell administration is getting; thus far, much better results. What can be the matter with Harvard's presidents?—Springfield Republican.

Favorable to New Football.
The statistics of football casualties the past season are encouraging to those who favor the "new football." There were only 14 deaths, as compared with 23 in the season preceding; while ol serious injuries to players there were but 40, as compared with 64 the year before. And still, with all this refinement, the game cannot yet be described as ladylike—Springfield Republican.

In Spare Moments, Two Univer
sity Men Made Violins.
In order to pass away the long evenings of last winter, H. T. Martin, assistant curator of paleontology, and his assistant, Wyman Green, a post-graduate student, conceived the idea of turning this spare time to good account by each making a violin. The spruce and maple chosen for the construction did not come from the most aristocratic sources, being only some old boards gathered up in the back yard, but they served the purpose just the same, as is shown by the final products.
After almost a year of work at odd moments on the instruments they were given a final seasoning then polished and are at last in real service. Mr. Morse, instructor in violin, has tested them and pronounced them of excellent quality.

HERE'S SOMETHING WE ALL MISSED
DID HOLLENBACK CHASE
THOMPSON OFF THE FIELD?
St. Louis Papers Print Stories Showing Missouri's Soreness Over Tie Score.
University of Missouri football rooters claim that they were robbed in the Thanksgiving game and place all the blame on Lieutenant Thompson, the umpire whom they accuse of the grossest unfairness. Popular clamor is directed at Lieutenant Thompson because he detected Captain Thatcher illegally holding while Hackney was attempting a field goal and Missouri lost the three points. There has been little in the Kansas City newspapers to indicate the state of mind in Columbia, but the St. Louis papers have contained several articles derogatory to the official. An advertisement in the University Missouri states that panoramaie views of the recent "football robbery" are for sale.
Even Referee Masker is quoted as condemning Lieut. Thompson's rulings. Under a Columbia date line, the St. Louis Time says: Even President A. Ross Hill of Missouri repeated today that he was told by Referee Masker that he (Masker) would have been removed Thompson from the game if it was within his power."
"Big Bill" Hollenback, coach of the Missouri University football team, passed through St.Louis last night on his way to his home in Philadelphia. Hollenback was the guest of Nat Klein, whose son, Eddie, played quarterback for the Tigers.
The following article appeared in the St. Louis Republic last Tuesday morning:
Hollenback has not gotten over the failure of his team to win over Kansas and told some of the things that happened during the game and especially about the robbing of the Tigers of a field goal by Lieutenant Thompson, the umpire. Hollenback did not get into Kansas City till the afternoon of the game and did not learn of the leanings of the Lieutenant until the game had started.
In speaking of the officiating at the game, Hollenback said:
opening the game, Hollenback said :
"It was the rottenest I ever saw in any game and the whole was due to Thompson. He had coached Kansas for more than a week at Leavenworth and he had naturally become a partisan, and that is something no official should be.
"When Hackney made the drop kick, of which we were robbed, he waited until the team was getting lined up and then called a penalty for offside. Referee Masker told me that he said to Thompson 'Why, that couldn't have been When a team is waiting for a drop kick the men don't charge They merely block.'
‘‘Oh, well,’ was Thompson's reply, 'I meant they were holding.'’
Hollenback is considerably in doubt as to whether an official can change his rulings after they are made and it has been put up to the Alumni association at Kansas City to look into the matter and see if it can legally be done.
In addition to the decisions made during the larger part of the game, Hollenback declared that when Kansas made her touchdown Thompson threw his hat in the air and acted more enthusiastic than any of the rooters in the stand. In this Hollenback was sustained by Nat Klein, Eddie Klein, and another member of the party who saw the game.
Thompson banished three of the best men on the Tigers during the game and it it to this fact that Hollenback attributes the tie game. Burress at right end was the one man whom Kansas wanted out of the game and Thompson obligingly disqualified him and as a result the Jayhawkers marched around that end.
The final whistle had hardly blown when Thompson ran off the field and under a guard of Kansas men jumped into the automobile which carried the Kansas team. He had hardly got into the machine when Hollenback, Klein

NEWMARK'S
J. W. Gowans, '03, of Winfield, was elected vice president of the Southern Kansas Teachers' Association at its annual session at Wichita last Saturday. B. E. Lewis, '01, of Anthony and H. P. Butcher '96, of Wellington were elected as members of the executive committee.
and several other Missouri and Kansas City men were after him, and it is doubtful if he would have gotten off the field with a whole skin had they caught him.
"I never heard of a football game where a few men are not dissatisfied over the decisions," declared Nat Klein, "but you can be sure that there is something rotten when every man in town was talking about the unfairness of the umpiring. Hollenback and I talked to Masker after the game, and he told us that he would have disqualified Thompson had it been in his power.
"'I would have resigned and gotten out of the game," he also said, 'if I could have done so. I never want to be mixed up with such officiating again.'"
With Hollenback and the party was Eddie Cochems, coach of the Barnes University football team Cochems was told all the particulars of the game and when shown accounts of the game declared he had never seen such marked evidence of partiality as shown by Thompson.
"In all my experience with football I never heard of a team being penalized on a drop kick," he declared. "Why, it's preposterous to think that any player would do anything that would cause a score to be lost, and it looks to me like a case of something wrong with the officials."
BOARDING HOUSE IN '54.
It would be interesting to make a comparison between the present day conditions and those of pioneer times as regards boarding houses. Here is a quotation from "Wilder's Annals" for the year 1854:
'Wilder's Annals' Tells How a Lawrence Industry Began.
"We had a comfortable night's rest in Dr. Robinson's tent, and in the morning were introduced to the "only boarding house on the hill." Two very intelligent ladies from Massachusetts had united their forces and interests and had taken 'boarders.' In the open air, on some logs of wood two rough boards were laid across for a table, and on washtubs, and kegs, and blocks, they and their boarders were seated around it This was the first boarding house in Lawrence. All was cheerful hopeful, and full of energy."
Word was received yesterday from Dallas Hanna, who went to his home at Fayetteville, Ark. with typhoid fever some time ago saying that he is able to be around again. He expects to return to the University at the beginning of the second term.

Concerning Football.
Here are some of the thoughts Dodd Gaston of the Topeka Capital his been thinking:
It must be admitted that for one who is constantly in competition with Tommy Johnson, Chancellor Strong of the State University manages to attract a fair amount of attention.
It must also be admitted that Coach Kennedy, in picking his All-Missouri Valley football team gave K. U. none the worst of it.
They are going to change the football rules again, but as nobody except the officials ever knows the rules it really doesn't matter.

THE UNIVERSITY KANSAN.
VOLUME VII
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3.1910
COACHES AND TEAM OF 1910 HONORED
NUMBER 32
THIRD ANNUAL FOOTBALL BANQUET LAST NIGHT.
Speakers Agreed That Past Has Been Great Success, but Some Dubious of Future.
"It is fitting that Coach Kennedy's seven years of service be recognized at this banquet," said the Chancellor. "He has helped in the upward movement in athletics. I hope he will always be a K. U. mentor and a member of our board of strategy."
Praise for the members of this year's team who battled for the Crimson and the Blue on the gridiron, praise for the coaches who are closing a long and honorable career as mentors of University of Kansas athletes, and expressions of concern for the future of football at the University were the keynotes of the toasts at the third annual football banquet which was held last night in Robinson gymnasium.
Business Demands K. C. Game.
Chancellor Strong as toastmaster, expressed his appreciation of the work done by the players during the season, and paid a glowing tribute to Coaches Kennedy and Mosse in recognition of the work they have done for clear sport in the University.
Two speakers,Dean J. W. Green and George Innes of Lawrence expressed dissatisfaction with the present athletic program of the University.
Mr. Innes spoke of "Football as a Business Man Sees It." "With all due deference to those who have in charge the new plans for football," he said, "I must say that from a business standpoint there is no better place for the Thanksgiving game than Kansas City. I believe that Kansas boys will come to little harm in Missouri, especially if accompanied by Kansas girls. It might be a good test for their manhood to bring them in contact with Missouri temptation."
Would Restore Training Table.
Dean Green said the University had fallen into bad company when it joined the conference of Missouri Valley governing boards which introduced reforms into athletics. He spoke with especial reference to the training table which he believes is a necessary adjunct to as strenuous a game as football, and deprecated the fact that the conference had discontinued it.
Both Dean Green and Mr. Innes were given prolonged applause. It was evident that most of the 300 guests present were in favor of playing a Thanksgiving game at Kansas City and of restoring the training table.
Prof. Henry C. Hill of the School of Law, who gave the first toast of the evening, "An Old Tiger," carried off the oratorical laurels. Professor Hill was a member of the Missouri faculty two years.
"As to the Tiger," said Professor Hill, "I came to bury Caesar, not to praise him. But it would not be out of order to utter a few words of respect for the disconsolate and bereaved condition of our friends across the border. We can imagine that in the room of the Tiger, as he sat brooding over his failure to win, some such colloquy as this ensued:
The Bereaved Tiger.
"Take thy beak from out my heart
Take thy form from off my door; Quoth the Jayhawk, 'Nevermore.
"I affirm that the game was a victory for Kansas, as all who saw it and saw how it was done can appreciate. The ability to wrest victory from defeat and to remain temperate in victory are qualities meriting the highest honor. The team won the game in the last moments of the eleventh hour because of the indefinable spirit that has always made the Kansas team a worthy foe the thing that distinguishes the man from the formula, the spirit that never can be beaten."
Won a Moral Victory.
"Whoever coaches the Kansas team will always have my support and backing," said Coach Kennedy. Then he proceeded to discuss the Missouri game. "In football there is the actual physical contest and there also is a moral contest," he said. "The views taken on the Missouri game by Kansas and Missouri are proof enough to my mind that we won a moral victory. Missouri has taken with bad grace the enforcement of the fundamental points of football—that the side with the ball can't use hands and arms and advance the ball; rather it's fifteen yards back; you can't hold and have points counted; you can't slug and stay in the game."
Coach Kennedy closed with an assurance of appreciation of the support given him during the years he has been the Kansas coach. "My heart will always be with Kansas," he said.
Need a "Thundering Thousand."
Ralph Spotts described the work of the "Fighting Five Hundred" at the Missouri game. He said that such an organization should be kept intact at the University to cheer at all games but that rather than a fighting five hundred there ought to be a "Thundering Thousand."
Captain Tommy Johnson, after threatening to stay away from the banquet because he was expected to speak, finally screwed up his courage and made a one-minute talk that was a little gem.
Kansas Support the Best.
James C. Masker, who, by blowing a whistle at the Nebraska game became involved in an argument which probably will last forever, and who by a miracle escaped criticism by Missouri, although he refereed the Thanksgiving game, was the next speaker. The words Mr. Masker spoko as soon as the applause which greeted him had died down, came right up from his heart.
"In all my visits to the schools of the Missouri Valley, I have never seen another place where the support given the athletic teams by the students was so good as it is at the University of Kansas," said the 1910 captain. "I believe the happiest moments of my life have been spent while representing the University of Kansas on the field." Then Tommy closed by thanking Kennedy, Mosse, Cheer Leader Spotts and the students for the instruction and support he and the rest of the team had received.
Masker Feels Better Now.
"This reception is indeed gratifying to one who had supposed from reports going round that he had lost all his friends," he said, "In the four years that I have been officiating at University games, I have never found it necessary to impose a penalty on Kansas for rough and unsportsmanlike playing," was Mr. Masker's need of praise to coaches and players.
"I spent mine for a dinner at Strong City," said "Mike" Lynch when he arose to speak on "The Last Quarter." "When I won-

STATE AUDITOR REDUCES BUDGET
RECOMMENDS CUT IN CHAN-
CELLOR STRONG'S FIGURES
Wishes to Eliminate Appropriations for Hospital Building and Girls' Dormitory.
The budget of the University was reduced $286,915 by State Auditor J. M. Nation in his recommendations to the legislature, which will consider his report in January.
The total amount asked for by Chancellor Strong was $1,211,915 If the legislators should approve of the auditor's recommendation the University will receive over $50,000 less than it did two years ago.
Three special appropriations were eliminated entirely from the budget. As submitted by Chancellor Strong they were the hospital building, $100,000, the girls' dormitory, $75,000, and the botanical garden, $7,500. The special appropriation of $135,245 for the up-keep of the plant, new apparatus, campus improvement and repairs was cut to $40,000.
The reasons given by Auditor Nation for taking out the hospital building is that the legislature should first adopt a policy toward medical instruction by the state. "The first two years of the University course," said Auditor Nation, "is now taught at Lawrence" I think the property at Rosedale ought to be abandoned and for the present let medical students take the last two years of their medical course in other well established schools. If this is done there will be no occasion for the legislature to appropriate for a hospital building."
The girls' dormitory was eliminated on the theory that if 100 girls were provided for the other 800 girls at the University and the 2,400 girls in other state institutions should also be provided for.
"The University is also asking $7,500 for a botanical garden and building," said Auditor Nation. "I think they ought to do without this for the present."
Will Edit Democratic Paper.
Carl G. Eddy, '10, former circulation manager of The Kansan, will be the future editor of the Liberal "Independent." The paper was recently sold to a company of local Democrats, who will turn it into a Democratic organ. Carl Eddy was business manager of the Colby Tribune.
Liberal is a town of 1,601 population, according to the 1910 census. It is located in Seward county in the southwest corner of the state.
The work on the new administration building is progressing as rapidly as possible. The concrete forms for the first floor are in place and concrete will be poured into them the first of the week. The terra cotta that is to be used for the facing has arrived from St. Louis in good shape and the work of setting it up will begin Monday.
Work Is Progressing.
At a meeting of the sophomore football team last Thursday night in Myers hall, it was decided to ask for white neck V sweaters with a 4-inch blue "13" numeral to be given to all men that played in the sophomore-freshman game. There will be a meeting of the class next Tuesday noon to vote on the proposition.
Ask for Numeral Sweaters.
Call for Junior Track Men.
The junior track committee requests all junior college track men to be at the Gym at 4:30 Mon day afternoon.
RIGHT EYE IS SAFE.
Belding May Even Have Some Use of Left Eye.
Frank Belding who was injured by an explosion of sodium in the organic chemistry laboratory Thursday afternoon was taken by Dr. M. T. Sudler to the Belle memorial hospital at Kansas City yesterday morning. Dr. McAllister, who performed an operation on his left eye on the night of the accident, believes that there is a possibility that he will recover the partial sight of this eye, which was the one most badly injured.
An X-ray examination was held at the hospital in Kansas City last night to discover whether any glass had lodged in his right eye and it was found that the eyeball had not been cut, but was burned to some extent by the caustic soda. He will without doubt recover the use of this eye.
The left eyeball was so badly cut by the glass that a secondary operation will be necessary after the eye lid has healed to cut the lid away from the eyeball. Belding endured the operation in the best of spirits and is not in the least despondent, as he believes that he will ultimately recover his sight.
FOOTBALL "K" TO 17
The athletic board at a meeting yesterday noon awarded Ks to seventeen members of the 1910 football squad and to Verni Smith of the 1909 squad. The men on this year's team who won the honor are: Baird, Pearl, Davidson, Smith, Lynch, Cowell, Ammons, Johnson, Heil, C. Woodbury, H.Woodbury, Ahrens, Price, Davis, Kabler. Power. Wilhelm.
Athletic Board Proposes Also to Honor Former Players Who Have no Letters.
The number of Ks is much larger this year than usually is granted.
The Board also appointed a committee to investigate and ascertain that members of early University teams are entitled to wear the K. The reserving of a box at the Thanksgiving game for K men disclosed the fact that in the early days of the University Ks were not awarded to members of teams. Former captains of football teams were prevented from entering the box because they had no letters. The athletic board proposes to remedy the lack of recognition as far as possible and will go back along the line of athletic heroes and award letters to the deserving ones.
Little difficulty is anticipated in the matter of football Ks, for a the inauguration of the sport it was customary for one man to be chosen for each position and for him to play through every game on the schedule. Basketball will give no trouble either, as the game was introduced after the granting of Ks became a custom The committee will probably have some problems to unravel in connection with tennis and track letters.
University Vesper Service.
University Vesper Service.
Dr. Henry C. Mabie of Boston, Mass., will speak at the vesper service I雪天 afternoon at 4:30 in the chapel. Dr. Mabie is one of the baptists of the country. He will also speak in the evening at the Baptist Church on "After College What?"
The German edition of the University News Bulletin will be issued next week. The edition will be sent to the members of German classes in the various high schools over the state. The work is being supervised by Prof. Kruse.
The second debate tryout will be held this evening at 7 o'clock in the chapel.
ENGINEERS WILL HOLD CELEBRATION
FLOATS TO REPRESENT DE PARTMENTS OF SCHOOL.
The Entire Day Will Be Given to Stunts and Athletic Events
Plans are being made by the School of Engineering for the most elaborate celebration ever held by any one school of the University of Kansas.
The exact date has not yet been determined. The matter, however, has been laid before Chancellor Strong, awaiting his approval, and the fete will be held upon any day he shall see fit to designate as suitable.
On the morning selected the engineers will parade the campus, drawing floats which will represent the different departments of the engineering school. Afterward they will attend chapel in a body.
The afternoon will be spent upon the golf links, where athletic events will be held, and stunts of various kinds pulled off. There will be refreshments in abundance and every effort will be made by the engineers to make the day a unique occasion.
It is expected that Chancellor Strong will announce his decision early next week. As soon as his approval is secured committees will be appointed by George Russell to perfect plans for the celebration.
DEGREES TO BE GRANTED.
Regents Will Confer Them at Next Meeting.
At a meeting of the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, yesterday, recommendation was made that the Regents admit to the degree of Bachelor of Arts the following: Iris Calderhead, Fern Cramer, Carl G. Eddy, Earl C. Hall, Guy G. Hinkson, Irwin W. Humphrey, Ruth E. Hunt, Raymond C. Ogden, Chas E. Penny, Ruby Ravenscraft, William S. Robb, Clara F. Schimmel, Mary D. Semalzried, Laurene Stevens.
The faculty of the School of Law have recommended the following for the degree of LL.B. Nathaniel E. Berry, Hiram C. Davis, Edward S. Elder, Walter J. Ise, Walter S. Thiele, Isaac N. Williams.
The Regents will take action on the recommendations at their next meeting December 9.
Urged Care in Engineering.
A crowded roomful of students heard Victor C. Cochran, consulting engineer of Kansas City, Mo., address the Thursday evening meeting of the Civil Engineering Society. On the subject, "How Not to Do It," Mr. Cochran gave many valuable points about being careful in the engineering work. He cited interesting cases of large damage through carelessness, and gave humorous incidents that he had met with in his own work. The speaker also told of the collapsing of several bridges at Peoria, Ill., and the plans that he is now making for a new bridge.
Dr. Wilber at Y. M. C. A.
Dr. F. E. Wilber talked before the Y. M. C. A. Thursday evening on "Loyalty in Rgleion." He defined loyalty as living true to to truth as you see it. It is also the soul of religion as it is both the knowing and doing.
At the next Thursday evening meeting W. T. Elmore, a mission x a stereotopic lecture on "Domestic Life in India." This will probably be in Snow hall, so as to have room for all who come. Mr. Elmore will also speak at chapel Friday morning.

BUSINESS AND FOOTBALL.
When a Lawrence business man, speaking at the football banquet last night from the business standpoint, made a plea for the retention of the Thanksgiving game at Kansas City, he said the logical thing for a business man to say. There is no question that less money will be taken in on the game if it is played outside of Kansas City. A survey of football history during the past ten years will disclose the fact, however that, a steady movement has been in progress to divorce the business influence from the college game. Football used to be much more of a business than it is now. In the days when the policy of paying players for their work was followed, a good player had a market value which depended upon the number of schools which were competing for his services. When the rules against professionalism were enforced, the money value of players was lost.
Professionalism died hard. The players themselves have accepted the new regime of amateur sport much more gracefully than outside supporters of the game have accepted it. The last stronghold of those who wished to give a professional cast to the game disappeared when the training table was abolished. Men like Judge Green, who believed that the welfare of the men demands a training table are in one class. Another class wants the training table reinstated because it is the only way there is left of offering men an inducement to play other than the sport itself and the honor of representing the school.
Beyond all doubt, if business is allowed to dominate football, football with be good for business. The important question, in connection with the Thanksgiving game is, will the application of business considerations alone be good for football?
"Why give one hundred girls at the University a dormitory and not the other eight hundred?" asked State Auditor Nation as he drew his snickerskee and lopped off the $75,000 asked for by Chancellor Strong to build a dormitory. Mr. Nation's question is one easily answered. As soon as a dormitory for Girls is erected at
the University, there will be one place where conditions can be established as they should be for the women students. The boarding houses which accommodated the remaining women of the University would be obliged to approximate these conditions as nearly as possible. Thus the dormitory, while it housed only a small percentage of the women students, would be a benefit indirectly to all the others.
As the University of Missouri has shown that it is apt to be ficky on the matter of officials for the Thanksgiving game next year; it may be well to start the discussion of suitable ones right now. The Kansan wishes to suggest Dan Cupid for umpire, believing that he would fill the position to the complete satisfaction of the Missourians. As he is blind, he could not catch any of the players fouling, and besides "holding" has always been recognized as a part of his game.
Fortunately for the livestock judging team the umpire was not an army officer from Leavenworth, Kan.-University Missourian.
This is the first intimation we have heard that the methods of the student livestock judges wouldn't bear watching.
State Auditor Nation has put the question of a School of Medicine squarely up to the Kansas Legislature by refusing to endorse Chancellor Strong's request for
$100,000 for a medical building. Does Kansas need a School of Medicine or does it not? It is not unlikely that the Legislature's answer to the question will be different from Mr. Nation's.
Times Have Changed.
A senior law student who was walking down Massachusetts street swinging his cane the other day was accosted by a business man who asked to see the stick.
"Is this on eof the canes I hear you law students are carrying now?" he queried, as he "hefted" the light bamboo and examined the silver head.
WE ARE
NOW SHOWING A
"Yes, that's our class cane."
"How times have changed," mused the business man, still looking at the cane. "Why, when I went to the Law School up there twenty years ago, we had a hard enough time to get a hickory shirt, let alone a silver headed cane."
Dr. R. L. Moodie is tabulating a catalogue which will be a record of every exhibit that is brought to the museum. Five hundred sheets of heavy book-keepers' paper which will be used for this purpose have been received from the state printer at Topeka. Every entry will be numbered and a record of the geological conditions under which it was found will be put down. The date of its discovery, data about its preparation for exhibition and the name of the discoverer will also be kept in the catalogue.
It has been the object of Dr. Moodie and Professor Martin to make such a catalogue for several years, but this is the first time that they have had the time to put their plan into effect. They expect to catch up on the work this year and additions will be made to the tabulation from year to year as the exhibits are increased.
FEW
Christmas SUGGESTIONS
Rowlands COLLEGE BOOK STORE
The Police Took the Banner.
One of the plays pulled off a the Missouri-Kansas football game which was noticed only by a few who were "next" was the stealing of the big "Beat Kansas" banner which the Missouri rooters tacked to the grand stand at the Gordon & Koppel field.The guilty party was Asher Hobson, a sophomore in the College. Hobson climbed up on the roof of the stand and removed the banner before he was noticed by the Missourians. After he was discovered several gave chase, but Hobson made his getaway, although the police relieved him of the banner.
NO living man can have too many shirts, ties, or socks and when you get right down to cold hard facts, most any man would rather receive one good shirt or one good necktie or one good pair of socks on Christmas morning than all the trinkets you can put in a basket. Man is a pretty practical proposition. Keep that in mind while you're debating what to give him. Maybe the following list will help you out. You can get a good many more helpful suggestions by strolling through our various departments and now's the best time to do it because our holiday stocks are at the very height of completeness.

MAY HELP WITH LAWS.
Two University Professors to Consult With Legislators.
If the members of that body are willing, there is little doubt that Prof. A. J. Boynton, assistant professor of economics at the University, will draft some of the more important bills concerning labor legislation that will come up before the next session of the state legislature.
Governor Stubbs asked Chancellor Strong some time ago to suggest the names of two professors at the University who would be capable men to assist with such legislation. The Chancellor named Prof. Boynton and Prof. W. E. Higgins of the School of Law. The task of selecting a suitable title for all the bills and of determining their constitutionality is left to lawyers, and for that reason Prof. Higgins may be called into consultation.
The most important question on labor legislation that will come up at the next session of the legislature will be in regard to the employers' liability and employees' compensatory laws. Both of these measures have been advocated by labor unions and some of the leading statesmen of the country, but only a few states have as yet passed any legislation on the questions. Both are designed for the purpose of protecting the laborer against accident while in the discharge of his duties and relieving him to some extent of personal responsibility for contributory negligence and fellow laborers' negligence. Both measure will provide for a fund to be contributed by employers out of which injured employees may be recompensed for accidents that might throw them upon the char-ity of the state.

TO FIND CURE FOR TUMOR
Alumnus Writes of Experiments With Tissues.
M. T. Burrows who graduated from the College in '05, has recently published in the American Medical Journal the result of his researches in the study of tumor. The methods used by Mr. Burrows were original and the results obtained have created a great amount of interest in the medical world.'
In his experiments he first took normal tissue from a dog and placed it under favorable conditions in the serum of the same dog anw watched it grow under the microscope. He then took a tumor of sarcoma from a chicken and placed it in the blood serum of the same chicken and watched it develop. Later he took a part of the tumor from a human body and studied its growth under the microscope. It is believed that his researches may lead to a cure of the tumor.
Burrows graduated from John Hopkins University with the degree of M. D, in '09, and is now with the Rockefeller Institute.
November Was a Dry Month .
The University weather report for the past month indicates that during only two November in the forty-two years that the records have been kept was the rainfall less than for November 1910. The amount this year was but .26 inches. The mean temperature for the month was 42.67 degrees, which is 1.34 degrees above the November average. The highest temperature was 74 degrees on the 8th, and the lowest was 19.4 degrees on the 30th.
The seismograph recorded five earthquake during the month, only one of which was as near as 2,500 miles.

N. Y. Professor Complains That They Don't "Make Good."
New York, Dec. 1.—Prof. Leslie J. Tompkins, of New York University, president of the National Association of College Graduates, is authority for the statement that the college woman has not "made good." He has the courage, too, to make the statement in a lecture before the National League for the Civic Education of Women. He said:
"The college woman has not 'made good.' There are, I believe, about twelve thousand or fifteen thousand college women in the United States. Three-fourths of these are so nice that they are married already, and the remainder are freaks. The married women don't take so much interest in outside affairs and freaks can not accomplish anything anyway."
Discussing the question of woman an suffrage, he said;
"Some women do not realize how very powerful is their influence without the ballot. Isn't this indirect influence worth more to you women than the very uncertain power that would come with the ballot that you are ill prepared for? I mean ill-prepared in the sense that the vast majority of women have small comprehension of the functions of government. I'll admit that about 40 per cent of the men who vote are not fitted to exercise the franchise. I'll admit also that I will have no special objection to the votes of women when women as a body are as well qualified to vote as are 60 per cent of the men. But that time has not yet come."

HOW INVENTION BEGAN.
Lazy Man Devised Means of Avoiding Work, Says Dr. Day.
Dr. Edna D. Day of the department of home economics, lectured before the Topeka federation of Women's club Thursday. The Topeka Capital gives the following account of her address:
Dr. Day, in her talk, traced the development of women from earliest historic times to the present day, and prophesied a change and gradual evolution in the pursuit of womankind. "In the early day men did the hunting and fishing and made weapons. The women did everything else. They were the first home builders, the first tillers of the field, the first doctor who cured ills by the use of wild herbs. In fact, the women did all the work. But as they became more intelligent, they forced the men into the fields of labor, they demanded that the men work too Now man is naturally a lazy creature, and the minute a task is put before him he spends half the time he should be working, thinking out a system whereby he won't have to work. This tendency to escape labor has inspired men to the effort of invention. And by invention, and the forcing of men into the fields of labor, the entire economical scheme of things has been rearranged. The work of the home has been taken to the factories, and the work which was the woman's now belongs to the men. And the question arises, is there still enough work left in the home to keep the women profitably oocupied.
Dr. Day thinks that there is. She says that if a woman wisely spends what her husband earns, she has solved the problem in her economic independence. "It was formerly the woman's duty to weave the cloth, now it is her duty to buy intelligently the cloth which has been woven in factories." And Dr. woven in factories." And Dr. Day insists that the home must remain, that the children must be reared at home. "Food may be prepared out of the home in the future, as are the clothes now," she said, "but the home must remain as a place of rest and comfort, a place to keep one's personal belongings. And the spirit of the home, created by the wife and mother, can never be duplicated elsewhere."
Also Dr. Day strongly advocates a change in the present school system. "Wherever girls are being trained," said Miss Day, "they should be prepared for life work If they are to be mothers, they should be taught the care and training of children, if they are to be home keepers, they should be taught the principles of successful and systematic house keeping. They should learn the use and preparation of foods,and no girl should be granted a college degree who does not know these practical things, the things which will best equip her to grapple with her environment."
Cherokee County Club Formed
County Otto Forlumd
The Cherokee county students met at 1336 Tennessee Wednesday evening and organized a county club. Fred E. Lee was chosen president; Sandy Hamilton, vice president; Rhea Wilson, secret tary; and Frank Jones, treasurer
A reception for the high school seniors and alumni of the county at Columbus during the Christmas holidays was arranged for. A basket ball team is also to be or organized to play Galena and Cherokee county high schools.
Another meeting has been called for next Tuesday evening at 7:30 at the same place.
Art Sale for Scholarship
The Pallette club will have a Christmas sale of their work, beginning next Monday afternoon at the check stand in Fraser hall. Half a dozen oil paintings and many sketches by the members of the club will be put on sale, which lasts all week unless everything is sold sooner. This is the first of the two bazaars planned for the year. The object is to establish an art scholarship fund for the use of some deserving person who desires to take art at this University.
COACHES AND TEAM
OF 1910 HONORED
(Continued from page one.)
dered what that title meant, I remembered that I have been here five years and then I thought the boys were roasting me. It was not until chapel time this morning that somebody tipped it off to me that I was expected to say something about the men who will leave this year.
"First I want to say something abut Spear, who worked undiscouraged through three years without recognition, and finally made one of the best centers in the Missouri Valley. And Tommy Johnson—when he quits school you will lose a great man, one who has worked hard for the Uni versity.
Coached Clean Game.
"Finally, I want to pay a tribute to the coaches, who have always coached us to play clean. They have never taught men to hold, slug, or play foul, but have often threatened to take men out of the game at the least show of roughness. And they have never sworn at their men, which I believe is a rare thing among coaches."
Associate Coach Mosse discussed the result of the Missouri game. "I am not entirely satisfied with the result," he admitted. "I don't know why our boys didn't get started sooner. But that last half was something to go down in K. U. football history. We easily had the best of it at the end of the game, while Missouri was 'all in.'"
The exercises closed with the awarding of football ks to eight men by Dean J. W.Green,who explained the meaning of the emblem. "No team has better earned the right to wear this mark of the University honor," he said in introducing the 1910 "K" men.
At the meeting of the Sigma Xi honorary fraternity Thursday evening, the revision of the constitution of the society was discussed. Dr.C.E.McClung, who was a member of the national committee of the society, which met at Detroit this fall, made a report on the conclusions reached by them, which was considered.
WHO WILL GET IT?
Gustafson to Give a Diamond Ring to One of His Customers.
The night before Christmas someone who has been trading at the Gustafson jewelry store will be given a beautiful diamond ring without one cent of expense or without any conditions being attached.
Mr. Gustafson has been having a fine trade, the best he has ever known and that is saying a great deal, and he wants to snow his customers his appreciation, and as he cannot give a diamond ring to each one of them, he is going to give it to some one of them.
Whenever a cash sale is made at the store the money goes into the cash register and when the sale is rung up a ticket is issued by the register which is given to the customer. These tickets are numbered consecutively and when the ring is given away it will be to the holder of one of these tickets. It costs no one an extra cent and each one will get the same big value for their money that has always characterized the Gus tafson store.
The number of the first ticket given out tomorrow will be taken and the diamond will be given to some one of the many who will be cash buyers at the Gustafson store between tomorrow morning and the night before Christmas.
The amount of the purchase will not count, a ticket being issued for a ten cent purchase the same as it is for one amounting to many dollars. Greater preparations than ever have been made to make Gustafson's the holiday center of Lawrence and cases and counter are filled with the most beautiful and most dependable articles that careful selection could secure.—Adv.
Rhetoric Students Will Write to Home Newspapers.
TO ADVERTISE UNIVERSITY
Next week all the members of the various freshman rhetoric classes will be required to write an article concerning the University in general and the students of their home county in particular. This article will be issued by the Publicity department and sent to the leading newspapers in the counties over the state. The editors of the various newspapers will be asked to publish these letters before Christmas. This practice was instituted last year and was considered a most efficient method of advertising the University and informing the people throughout the state what the students from their own county are doing.
On next Monday the first three events of the inter-class track meet will be held in the gymnastium, consisting of the mile, quarter-mile, and thirty-yard dash.
Five heats will be run in each event in which contestants from all the classes of the different schools in the University will be entered.
Series of Events Begins Monday Afternoon in the Gym.
The events have been so aranged that distance runs will alternate with dashes each day in order that one man who has ability for both events, will not be forced to enter two distance events on the same day.
A bulletin containing the order of the events and the rules of eligibility has been posted in the gymnasium.
Christmas Choosing
Keep in mind when selecting Gloves, Neckwear and Hosiery that we show as complete assortment as any store in Lawrence. Again our Christmas Tables are the talk of the town.
Christmas Buying is now at its very best. Every department from Handkerchiefs to Furs is more complete than it will be in a few days.

A BIOGRAPH
Urged Conquering Spirit
"An American," said Dr. W. A. Powell of the First Presbyterian church of Lawrence in his chapel talk Friday, "is one who, wherever he is wants to be somewhere else." He went on to tell how we as Americans should inherit the conquering spirit of our forefathers. This according to the speaker cannot be accomplished without the following prime factors, liberty, equality and fraternity. By liberty he meant that a man should meet the problems of life unharmed by the bonds of despotism. The speaker defined the second as the right of all men, under God, to make the most of themselves. The last is but an outcome of the first two principles.
Dr. Powell urged the study of history for thus we would become acquainted with the great constructors of the world. We should not only study past history, but the history of our own time as it goes on around us today, he said.

FIVE SUCCESSFUL IN RHODES EXAM
CHANCELLOR RECEIVES RE PORT ON RECENT TEST.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1910
University, Washburn, and Baker the Schools Whose Candidates Passed.
Chancellor Strong yesterday received from H. T. Gerrans, secretary to the delegates of the local examinations of Oxford University, a report that five of the contestants who took the Rhodes Scholarship examinations at Lawrence early this fall had passed successful examinations. They are:
George S. Counts and Frank H. Allis of Baker.
Edmund D. Cressman, University of Kansas.
Henry R. O'Brien and Phillip W. Whitecomb of Washburn.
Mr. Allis did not take the examination in Greek and if he receives the appointment will have to make up the deficiency after he gets to Oxford.
The board in charge of the Rhodes Scholarship interests in Kansas will meet soon to choose from those who passed the examination the man who will represent the state for three years at Oxford. The members of the board are Chief Justice Johnson, State Superintendent Fairchild, Chancellor Strong, President Sanders of Washburn, and President Murlin of Baker.
Although the "rotation system" which provided that candidates should be chosen in succession from the University, Washburn and Baker was abandoned this year and the examination was thrown open to the students of all the colleges of the state, none passed the examinations except representatives of the three colleges in the original arrangement. If the rotation system were still in effect it would be the University's year to send a man to Oxford.
Tryout Shows Strong Candidates for Squad.
DEBATE OUTLOOK IS GOOD.
The prospects for a successful year in debating are exceedingly bright. Prof. G. A. Gessell, who will coach the teams this year, said in comparing the Kansas debates with those of the University of Wisconsin: "I would not be afraid to pick a team from the squad to go against Wisconsin." Those who were selected in the try-out last Saturday evening are: Miss Maybelle E. Stuart, and Adelbert Andrews, Clarence Connor, Arthur Fast, Walter Griffin, William Hughes, Milton Minor, Eliot Porter, and Roscoe Redmond.
There will be a meeting of the members of the debating squad Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 in room 501 of Fraser hall for the purpose of discussing plans for the work of the squad.
C. C. Cline, news editor of the Kansas City Journal, spoke to the class in reporting Monday morning on the newspaper business.
ADVICE TO REPORTERS
C. C. Cline Says Knowledge Is a Prime Essential.
"Knowledge is one of the primeressentials of the newspaper man," he said. "A reporter should know every important man in his country and state, and should be acquainted with current events well."
"Do not let the almighty dollar obscure your vision," continued Mr. Cline. "A reporter who does will not get very far. One or two years of newspaper work also is the best training for a business career."
BASKET-BALL SCHEDULE.
Pentative Dates Arranged by Manager Lansdon.
Since the close of the football season Manager W. C. Lansdon has been busy with the basket ball schedule. As yet no defi nition arrangements have been compiled, but in several cases tentati dates have been made that will probably hold for the season. Every season there has been a con ference of the Missouri Valley managers of basket-ball this year there has been no suc cet meeting called.
The dates as arranged thus far by Mr. Lansdon are: Nebraska at Lawrence, January 13 and 14; Nebraska at Linecoln, February 24 and 25; the dates for Missouri at Lawrence are not yet arranged but the games at Columbia will be played on February 20 and 21. Two games have been scheduled with Baker, but January 21 is the only date decided upon at this time. On the trip which starts with the game at Columbia, February 20, Drake and Ames will probably be played. If Washington is played at all it will be on the nights of February 17 and 18. All of these return dates have not been fixed.
CHOOSE CAPTAIN TONIGHT.
Two Candidates for Position on 1911 Team.
The captain of the 1911 football squad will be elected tonight following a dinner given at the Elricidge house by W. C. Lansdon manager of athletics.

If a recommendation made by the Women's Student Council is adopted by the executive head of the University, the keeper of the University calendar will have some busy sessions the first few weeks of every school year. The women have recommended that all University events be scheduled as early in the year as possible and that schedules be posted in the various buildings, in order that conflicting dates which have been a source of bother in the past may be avoided. The events which the recommendation is intended to cover are not named in the letter which the president of the Association sent to the Chancellor yesterday afternoon, but a member of the Council said they included all student dramatic productions.all student concerts, class parties, all fraternity and sorority spring parties in short, general student entertainments of every kind.
It is supposed that the organization which first speaks for a given date will be allowed to hold that date above all comers. The women believe that the school year will run more smoothly if their recommendation is followed. By referring to the posted schedules a student can plan just what he is going to do a long way in advance.
It was at a meeting last Thursday afternoon that the women decided to recommend their plan to the Chancellor. Just to make the scramble for dates more exciting, they further recommended that all purely student affairs be held on Friday and Saturday nights leaving the study nights free. Of course University lectures, which are regarded as more or less a part of the regular work, will enjoy immunity from this regulation.
For Regulation of Dramatics.
Henry C. Mabie, here under the auspices of the Baptist church, will speak at the regular meeting of the Young Women's Christian Association Wednesday afternoon at 4:45. His subject will be "Practical Christianity." Mr. Mabie was formerly president of the managing board of the Baptist church, but now spends his time lecturing to students at Universities and colleges.
Mabie at Y. W. C. A. Tomorrow.
Action was also taken on a letter from Chancellor Strong, asking for recommendations on the control of University dramatics. The recommendations of the Men's Council on the matter were endorsed with a few additions and amendments. It was voted that participation in the plays put on by the language departments should not disbar students from taking part in one of the dramatic association plays, a provision that allows a little more latitude than was given by the men in their recommendations; and the wording of the resolutions drawn up by the Men's Council was changed to show that both Councils joined in the enactment of the rules.
Every girl of the University is urged to come since this will be one of the most important meetings of the year. Hannah Mitchell will sing.
Thepsian Meeting Postponed
The regular monthly meeting of the Thespian Dramatic club which was to be held this evening, has been postponed one week.
VALUE OF HOME ECONOMICS
Dr. Day Said Course Is Both Cultural and Practical.
Dr. Edna Day of the department of home economies, spoke at chapel Tuesday morning on the place of home economics in the University. She said that home economics deserves a prominent place in the University because it prepares girls for the home of the future. It adds interest to home life and overcomes a woman's inordinate desire for the foolishness and artificiality of high society. "If men spend many years in learning how to earn money to support a home, why should women not spend an equal time in learning how to spend that money to the best advantage for the home?" This is the first consideration.
"The second reason for teaching home economies in the Uri versity," said Miss Day, "is that it is a part of a cultural course There is a real art in knowing how to take proper care of the home and to cook well."
The third and last point is that home economies tends to take away the drudgery of cooking and house-keeping for the young housewife. Not only does it add an interest to the preparation of foods, but it leads psychologically to other profitable lines of thought and activity.
"HOW TO FIND THE LAW."
Daily Lectures Are Being Given to Law Students.
Prof. H. A. Daly of Chicago will deliver lectures three times each day this week to classes in the Law School on the subject "How to Find the Law." Prof. Daly carries a set of books with him to demonstrate his lectures, using the laboratory method of explanation of the system. He is invited by the school. During the nine school months he visits the more important law schools in the west and south upon invitation. Prof. Daily, who was formerly with the editorial staff of the Encyclopedia of Pleading and Practice, is now with the West Publishing company.
Senior Pharmics Will Dress Up.
The senior pharmies have joined the ranks of the professional schools in adopting an article of dress which will distinguish them from all other students on the hill. This garment will consist of a gray jersey with a blue mortal containing a red pestle on its front. The letters K, U, in red will also be woven into the matar. Twenty-one of the jersey have been ordered, and they are expected by next week.
Attended Directors Meeting.
College Basket Ball Team.
Robert E. Lee, a junior in the College, was taken ill with pneumonia yesterday afternoon, and has been removed to Simmons' hospital. This morning his condition was reported to be serious and his fever was high.
Plans are now under way which will provide for the organization of a basket ball team to be made up entirely of men from the College. Manager Lansdon expects to schedule games with Kansas colleges and schools and after Christmas the College squad will do battle with the Aggies, Washburn, Bethany and other state schools.
SENATOR BORAH TO ADDRESS ALUMNI
Dr. James Naismith attended a meeting in Kansas City yesterday of the physical directors of the Missouri valley from the various colleges, schools and Y. M. C. A. As a special feature of the meeting Dr.George E. Fisher, international director, gave an address on the athletic relation which should exist between these different organizations.
ACCEPTS INVITATION TO AT-
TEND COMMENDEDMENT.
Was a Student at the University in the Early Eighties.—Practised Law in Kansas.
William E. Borah, United States Senator from Idaho, who was a student at the University of Kansas in the early eighties, will deliver the alumni address at the commencement exercises of the University next June. Dean Olin Templel received a letter from Senator Borah last week accepting the invitation to give the address, which will be made on Tuesday of Commencement week, "alumni day."
This is the first time that one not having received a degree from the University has been asked to deliver the commencement address Within the last year the Alumni Association has extended its membership to include as associate members those who have attended the University, but were not graduated.
Senator Borah attended the Southern Illinois Academy at Enfield, Ill., before the came to the University. He was admitted to the bar in 1889 and practiced law in Lyons, Kan., from 1890 to 1891. From there he moved to Boise, Idaho, his present home.
He was elected United States senator from Idaho in 1907 for the term 1907-13. He is a member of the Republican national committee.

IS GETTING ALONG WELL.
Student Whose Eyes Were Injured May Recover Sight.
Frank Belding, who was injured by the explosion of chemicals. Thursday of last week, is reported to be getting along very well. He is at the University medical hospital at Rosedale.
Doctor Sudler said this after noon when asked regarding the conditions of Belding's eyes, "His right eye is safe, but it will be some time before we can say anything positive in regard to the left eye. If inflammation does not set in he will be sure of the sight of the right eye and a fairly good sight in the left."

REVIVING A LOST SPORT.
There is evidence that a few intrepid souls are attempting to revive a sport which once had a considerable vogue at the University. We refer to the exercise of thinking, which is said to have occupied the attention of students in former days almost to the exclusion of everything else. In fact, there were at one time organizations for the purpose of promoting thinking, just as we now hold mass meetings to stir up enthusiasm for the big games. Of course those organizations lacked the spectacular finish of the modern mass meeting. They were only small groups of students who banded themselves together in literary societies and the like. It is said by students who attended the University in the early days that these literary societies were not maintained merely for the purpose of keeping a member on the debating council, but that the members took them seriously, attended meetings regularly, and ever wrote things which they had thought out for themselves and which they wished their fellow members to think about.
One "old grad" who stopped over in Lawrence between training the other day to look at the new buildings fell into a reminiscence mood and told how a member of one of the societies, now a successful lawyer in one of the big towns of Kansas, had commanded the attention of the whole University by writing an oration entitled "A Defense of Shylock." Of course this incident only illustrates the poverty of University life in those days. Faney any student getting an audience nowadays by discussing anything as far back as Shylock's time. In these modern days, the downtown hall with its brilliant lights and its sound of revelry has superplanted the bare, quiet, dimly lighted room on Mount Oread as the place where the students like to go for their pleasure at the end of the week.
In spite of this revolution in student living there are a few who think that an institution for the promotion of thinking could find a place in the crowded student life of the present day. Even a few students have been mixed
up in the attempt to revive interest in debating on the hill,though it may be that this is largely a faculty measure. But another movement launched by students alone is even more daring. That is the inauguration of a student literary magazine at the University. The first number of this publication will soon be issued—an institution which has no excuse for existence except that it will give an excuse for thinking. Strange indeed if this thing should survive and actually find that there is a place for it in the present University life. Student institutions which encourage or even permit of independent thinking seem to have had their day at the University. And yet, probably every student has had fleeting moments in his college career when he has wished that he could find time to go away by himself and think a little. Most students reflect after they have graduated that they never found the time to think as much as they would have liked. Wouldn't it be curious if the launching of the Oread Magazine should mark the beginning of a movement which will bring thinking back into fashion again?
Early in the fall, before the returns were all in, The University Kansan made a hasty award of the wreath of sour grape-leaves to the Washburn College rooters as the champion bad losers at football in the Missouri Valley The Students' Herald at Manhattan says that the bad spirit with which these rooters have taken the defeat of their team by the Aggies on Thanksgiving Day. shows The Kansan was right. But another claimant for the honor arose on Thanksgiving Day and by a display of bad temper and villification placed the Washburn title in jeopardy. Unquestionably Missouri has at least "halved"the bad-loser championship with Washburn and may yet make the Ichabods look like the best sports in the world.
It is not every State University that can point to one of its own sons as a leader in the United States Senate. Senator Borah's record since he went to represent the state of Idaho in that body has been such as to reflect credit upon the school where he gained his education. His acceptance of the invitation to deliver the alumni address of 1911 gives assurance that the Commencement next June will be one of the most noteworthy the University has ever held.
Theodore Hackney should demand that Thanksgiving Day football and stash it away as a memento of the goal he kicked that didn't count.—Kansas City Star.
And stashed away somewhere near the football, Theodore should have a large framed portrait of the redoubtable Hon Thatcher, but for whose untimely holding Missouri would have annexed the three additional points.
Discussed Food Laws.
Prof. E. H. Bailey of the department of chemistry returned this week from New Orleans where he, with Dr. Crumbine, attended the meeting of the National Dairy and Food Association, which was held there last week. The subjects discussed by the association concerned dairy products, oleomargarine, and also uniform food laws and the enforcement of the food laws within the states.
Fine stationery—Wilson's drug store.
Dr. Mabie Urged Students to Retain Early Memories.
KEEP IDEALS OF HOME.
Dr. H. C. Mabie of Boston made the address at the vesper services in Fraser hall Sunday afternoon on the subject of the ideals brought from the homes of students at the beginning of their college life. At that time, said Dr. Mabie, the imagination begins to work with fresh promise, and the student is certain to come face to face with the suggestion that it is a time to broaden out. "Certain narrow things are to be eliminated but it is a time of peril because all advancement involves moral risk."
"The great question often then becomes," said Dr. Mabie, "how much of the good of the earlier life will the student keep." The memories of a sweet, pure family life should be cherished, he urged. Likewise, the memory of the Christian sacrifice making possible the student life should not be forgotten.
Dr. Mabie especially emphasized the great fundamentals born with mankind which school helped by classifying them. He also urged that students retain their dreams of childhood which may be divine rather than fanciful.

A NEW PLAN TO TRAIN TEACHERS
HAS BEEN DEVISED BY THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION.
Provides Future Teachers With Practical Work by Affiliating High School With University.
Prof. C. H. Johnston, Dean of the School of Education, met the teachers of the Lawrence high school Thursday afternoon of last week to discuss a plan recently proposed by the University whereby students of the School of Education will be enabled to do practical work as teachers in the high school.
The plan of affiliating the School of Education with the high school, as proposed, would give the students the privilege of a school room environment for nine weeks. Each student would direct classes, correct papers and report on the methods used in teaching.
Under the supervisor would be four assistant supervisors, to direct the practice teaching. These assistants may be teachers in the departments in which the work is carried on. The students are to receive credit for this teaching which will be one of the requirements for a state teachers' certificate, and for a degree in education.
A supervisor would be employed as instructor over all the details of the practice teaching. He would be a member of the University faculty employed for this work.
At the present time twenty three universities and colleges have relations with a nearby school,and twelve own their practice schools. Since 1826, Germany has developed the system in some form, until now it has a fine organization in that country.
Lecture Courses Planned.
It is argued by the projectors of the new plan that the arrangement would result in benefit both to the University and to the high schools. No decision was reached by the high school teachers at the meeting Thursday.
A course of lectures will be given this year before the teachers in Kansas City, Kan., by university professors. On one Saturday of each month a lecture is delivered on the present scientific aspects of education. Following this, the four hundred teachers are divided into four sections,presided over by Prof. C. H. Johnston and Prof. H. W. Josselyn of the University of Kansas, Professors Wilm of Washburn, and Professor Miller of the Kansas City high school.
On December 10, Professor Johnston will lecture before the Atchison County Teachers' Association on "Habit-Making and Habit-Breaking in School Work."
Storm Delays Work
Work on the new administration building has been suspended on account of Sunday's storm. A force of men was busy Monday afternoon clearing away the snow preparatory to resume work, and if there are no further interruptions by bad weather the outside walls of the building will begin to rise this week.

VISITED JOPLIN MINES.
A party of mining engineers headed by Prof. C.M. Young, visited the Joplin mining district during the Thanksgiving holidays They were the guests of Mr. O. N. Wampler, '06, who ie one of the largest mine operators in the district.
The Mining Engineers Inspected Southwest Missouri District.
Friday the party visited the concentrating plant and smelter of the Granby Mining and Smelting company, which is the oldest company in operation in this district, having started work there in the summer of 1863. They spent Saturday at the plant of the Independent Powder Co. and at other different mines in and around Joplin. Mr. Wallace, state mine inspector for the state of Missouri accompanied the party on Saturday.
The party, with the exception of Professor Young, returned to Lawrence Sunday evening. Professor Young went to Galena, where he had a preliminary survey of the ground, upon which he is contemplating the erection of a concentration plant for the use of the state of Kansas in which an attempt will be made to ascertain the loss that is contracted in the waste materials each year.
Three automobiles were placed at the disposal of the party and in this way they were able to cover all the district in a most satisfactory manner. Everywhere they went they were treated royally by the people with whom they visited.
Prof. W, C. Hoad, chief engineer for the State Board of Health, left last night on a trip of inspection. During this trip he will visit Garden City, Kinsley and Dodge City, in the interests of the state board.
Dean Charles S. Skitton of the School of Music went to Emporia yesterday to attend the meeting of the state Music Teachers' association.

“Graduates of higher institutions of learning positively can dominate this nation provided they allow no selfish motives to actuate them,” said Mr. Engle. “The most elemental principle in man is his religious interest, and to my mind the greatest open door for religious influence in the United States is he Sunday school. For this reason I emphasize my belief that society has no better use for the college trained man or woman than the work of a layman in our Sunday schools.”

Pays Way With Candy.
A number of young women enrolled at the University of Kansas are paying their own expenses while attending school, but there is one who also assists others through school while acquiring an education herself.
Before coming to K. U. Miss Wenkheimer graduated from the State Agricultural College at Manhattan, receiving the degree of bachelor of science from that institution. She had specialized in candy-making in the domestic science department there, so it occurred to her to try to sell home-made candies to the students at Lawrence.
The young woman who is accomplishing this seemingly impossible task is Miss Alberta Wenkheimer, who came to Lawrence this fall with her brother Carl, 12 years old and her sister, Winifred, 10 years old.
And her plan evidently is good, for the demand for her product has increased to such an extent that a cafe has put in a line of the candies she makes.
In addition to doing all her own housework, cooking, caring for the children and making the candy, Miss Wenkheimer finds time to carry fifteen hours of work in the departments of English and Education at the University. She has one faithful assistant, however, in adding to the family income in her little brother Carl, who sells and delivers the candy for her after his school hours.
The work of gathering clay samples for the department of geology and mineralogy will begin in earnest, now that the state auditor has allowed that item in the budget of the University to go through. Large quantities of clay will be collected and the out come of the test will be watched with interest throughout the state.

TO ATTEND CONFERENCES.
Professors Will Go to National Meeting During Holidays.
During the holidays most of the professors of the economical history departments of the University will attend meetings of their respective societies either at St. Louis or Indianapolis. Professors Blackmar, Boynton, Hellberg and Dykstra will attend the St. Louis meeting of the American Economic Association, also the Political Science Association and American Association of Sociology.
Professors Hodder, Becker, Patterson, Crawford, and Davis will go to Indianapolis to attend the meeting of the American Historical Association. Prof. F. H. Hodder is a member of the executive council of this society.
The opening work of all these orders begins on December 27, and lasts about four days.

They Even Like Plain Running
Forty men covered the cross country course at the University of Kansas in the recent race between two picked teams of twenty men each. As the men came in they were given scores in order of their arrival. The victory went to the "Reds" by a score of 446 to 375, and the winners were treated to an oyster supper. Medals were awarded to the individual men making the four highest scores. The best time made on the mile and three-quarter course was eight minutes and forty-five seconds. The University gives credit in gymnasium work for participation in the various forms of athletics, and the cross-country runs are among the most popular of the forms of sport. Travelers on country roads about Lawrence are likely to meet, even on the coldest days, a white clad figure running down the miles in the abbreviated costume of the track. The doctrine of fresh air is taught to the students and they use large quantities of the celebrated Kansas ozone. The one difficulty that the cross country runners meet is that they can not go far from the University without going down the long hill—which is all right except that it involves running back up.
A woman made the best grade in the Kansas state medical examination held recently in Kansas City, Kans. Sixty-five applicants appeared before the examining board and of this number, fifty-four passed, Charlotte Kaulbach, a student from the school of medicine of the University of Kansas, was the one who ranked at the head of the class. Every applicant from the University was passed and will receive a license to practice. According to the members of the board, this class was the strongest that has appeared before it. The plans for the reorganization of the school of medicine of the University of Kansas are progressing steadily. Medical education is expensive, and the budget that will be presented to the next legislature carries a considerable amount for this work. But those who are in a position to judge of the situation, feel that a great opportunity is open to the University to build up the great medical school of the Southwest. With the constant raising of standards, the small and poorly equipped medical schools throughout the country are obliged to close their doors. The opportunities for the well equipped schools, and their responsibilities, become correspondingly greater.

An insert of all the "K" men of this season's football team will also form a part of the special issue. The insert will be similar to that of former editions and will be suitable for framing.

Lansdon. Roy Heil, of Topeka, the star quarterback and half, was the only other candidate for the position. The contest was decided on the first ballot.
AMMONS IS CAPTAIN
Ammons has been one of the most consistent players ever on a University of Kansas team. This was his second year on the varsity, having played at end in 1909 and end full this year. His stellar work at full has won him the name of the "Rock Crusher," and he was the only player on this year's team to be placed on the all-Missouri Valley team. He gained his preliminary training on the Arkansas City highs, playing two years on that team. Ammons will have a majority of the 1910 team back next year to help him build a winning football squad.
On First Ballot the Star End and Fullback Was Chosen to Head the 1911 Team.

GOVERNING BOARDS MEET AT DESMOINES
CHANGELLOR STRONG CALLS
CONFERENCE JAN. 6.
Will Discuss General University Matters, Leaving Athletics in Hands of Faculties.
Chancellor Strong yesterday sent out letters to the presidents of the schools comprising the Missouri Valley Conference, calling the presidents and governing boards of those institutions to meet for their second annual conference at Des Moines, January 6. The first meeting was held at Kansas City last spring. At that time the football question was the most important matter of discussion, and the new regulations regarding faculty coaches and the abolition of the training table were passed.
The questions which will be discussed this year have not been made public. It is thought that most of the time of the conference will be devoted to general questions of University administration and policy. It is likely that not much time will be given to athletics. Chancellor Strong said some time ago that the conference of governing boards would so far as possible leave athletic matters in the hands of the conference of faculty representatives. The faculty representatives of the schools comprising the conference are:
Kansas, Prof. C. E. McClung.
Missouri, Prof. W. G. Manley.
Nebraska, Prof. R. G. Clapp.
Iowa, Prof. A. G. Smith.
Drake, Prof. John L. Griffith.
Ames, Prof. S. W. Beyer.
Washington, Prof. C. A. Waldo.
Recovering From Diphtheria.

Two students of the School of Geology and Mining are experimenting with Leavenworth coax with the view of finding a process to eliminate the sulphur and asl which gives much trouble by sticking to grates. Besides the practical results to be obtained the young men will use this as the foundation of their theses.

Davidson and Smith of Football Team Disapprove Athletic Board's Action.
The fourth series of events, consisting of the low hurdles, 100-dash and pole vault is being held this afternoon.
TWO REFUSE STRIPES
Following a week of more or less violent discussion, in which the action of the athletic board in awarding football Ks to seventen men of the 1910 team and a K and three service stripes to men of last year's team, has ben criticised and defended, two members of this year's team today decided that they did not want to accept the stripes which were awarded to them for last year's service. Ellis Davidson and Ralph Smith have requested Laudson to have their sweats made with but one stripe in place of the two they are entitled to wear.
When interviewed this afternoon Davidson said, "There are two reasons why I asked Manager Lansdon to have but one stripe put on the sleeve of my football sweater. The first is that I think I did not deserve a K for last year's work. I did not think I could take a 'Service Stripe' (as the board calls them) for a stripe means the same as a letter here and at other schools. I can not see any reason why a stripe does not mean a K. This is the first time anything like a so-called reserve letter has been considered. The second reason is that I do not think my name would have been mentioned but for the fact that as a result of certain developments in the meeting of the Athletic board I was awarded a stripe so that another man could receive his letter.
"I did not consider the fact that the board had awarded the seventeen Ks in arriving at my decision to return my last year's stree."
REGENTS TOMORROW
The matter figured largely in the banquet given by Manager Lansdon Tuesday night, when Ralph Smith made a talk in which he intimated that one K had beer given because of fraternity influence on the athletic board.
Will Discuss the Problem of the School of Medicine.
FOOTBALL SEASON PAID $11,491.64
The Board of Regents will begin a two-days' session at the University tomorrow. In addition to a large number of routine matters which they will have to consider, they will discuss the problem of the School of Medicine, which probably will take up most of the session.
The Griffith club at 1229 Ohio will give a dance at I. O. O. F. hall Saturday evening.

The opinions held on problems of athletics in universities by such men as Alonzo Stagg, director of athletics at the University of Chicago, are always valuable. In a recent letter in the Chicago Inter-Ocean, Director Stagg discusses the influence which the Chicago conference has had upon college athletics. He says:
"The whole intercollegiate world is debtor to the Chicago conference for the best regulation respecting intercollegiate athletics which has been promulgated; namely, the one year residence rule. This rule has since been adopted by all of the best universities of the East. It is the strongest blow against so-called "ringers" in college athletics which has ever been struck, as well as the most effective rule in the interest of the scholar-athlete which has been adopted."
Coach Stagg is one of the men who at first were opposed to the rule prohibiting the training table, but who came to support it later. He goes on to say that
"Another regulation of far-reaching good in which the conference has set the lead is that against the training table and training quarters. Like many others who have been in charge of coaching and training athletes, I had supposed that the training table was a necessity from the standpoint of properly conditioning athletes and I was frankly opposed to the regulation. I am now thoroughly convinced that the training table is not a necessity. Furthermore, I believe that it is about the last stronghold about which professionalism can gather in well regulated athletic institutions, and from the experience of several years in administering the training table problem and from hearing the testimony of many men in other institutions on the subject, who are familiar with the matter, I am well satisfied that the training table presents problems of professionalism which the ordinary manager can no more master than can the ordinary grocer make all his collections."
Superintendent William Pickens of the Western State Normal School at Hays has issued a circular letter to the people of Kansas protesting against the action of State Auditor Nation in cutting the estimated appropriation needed for the support of the western branch of the Normal School 73 per cent. Superintendent Pickens shows by a comparison with the estimated appropriation for the Manual Training School at Pittsburg, the only other school in the state which is in the same class with the Hays school, that too large a slice has been taken by the auditor out of the only state school in western Kansas. The Pittsburg estimate was cut only about 18 per cent.
The State Auditor did not, it appear, show any special animus against the University in trying to lop off over a quarter of a million from Chancellor Strong's estimates of the needs of the next biennium. But he has menaced the whole cause of higher education in Kansas by recommending that large reductions be made in the budget of every institution. If the Auditor's recommendations are followed in respect to the University, the school will be years in recovering from the setback which will follow; and it is fair to suppose that the same thing will happen all the way down the line.
The University, or rather the state of Kansas, would lose the School of Medicine which after years of slow development is just getting fairly started. The proposed cut in the maintenance appropriation would make it impossible to provide for the needful expansion of courses and to prepare for the proper handling of increased enrollment. The University would not be able even to hold its own and a backward trend would be substituted for the progress of the past decade.

STUDENT'S DIET CONSISTS
CHIEFLY OF GRAPENUTS.
Henry Maloy, Freshman, Is At
tending School on $100 a Year
on a Wager.
It has been said that Orientals can subsist on a lesser diet than Anglo-Saxons. But the tradition has been rudely shattered by a student of the University. Henry Maloy, a freshman in the College from Eureka, Kan., has since last September, been living on a diet of such peculiar and scanty measure that it is a question of debate among his friend as to how he maintains his robust appearance. The daily fare of Maloy consists of sugar, water, oleomargarine and grape-nuts. Without any change whatever he has continued to eat the four foods, if such they may be called, and declares that he does not find the diet monotonous.
The selection of the peculiar diei1 was not entirely arbitrary with Maloy. On the other hand, it is the direct outgrowth of a wager. Early last fall, when Maloy decided to attend the University, his father made an offer which he accepted. The father's offer was that he would pay all of the expenses of his son in college during his four-year course, providing the son's expenses during the first year remained within a minimum.
Former Students Will Wed
Up to this time Maloy has spent on an average of only $1.00 a week for board, thus breaking all records at the University. More than that, he expects to complete his first year's work on $100. If he does he will have won his wager and his college expense money.
Maloy is probably known best by his work in drawing cartoons Since coming to the University he has been responsible for the greater part of the cartoons that have appeared in the University Kansas. Also, he has had considerable experience on southern Kansas newspapers.

THE GAME OF FOOTBALL
When I behold a football to and fro
Urged by a throng of players equally
Each party bent alike on victory ; Methinks I see, resembled in that show. This round earth poised in the vacant sky,
Where all are fain to lay each other low
Striving by might and main for mastery.
The ball is filled with wind; and even so
It is for wind most times that mortals
Death the sole prize they all are struggling for;
And all the world is but an ebb and flow;
And all we learn, whereas the game is o'er.
life is but a dream, and nothing more.

DEATH OF GLENN CROSS.
End Came to Senior Engineer at His Home in Wichita.
News of the death of Glenn Cross, a senior engineer, of Wichita, Kan., reached the University yesterday. Mr. Cross had been suffering from a complication of heart trouble and other diseases for the past five weeks. He died early Tuesday morning.
At the regular meeting of the K. U. Branch of Electrical Engineers, Wednesday evening, a committee drew up a resolution of condolence, as follows:
"Whereas, God in His wisdom has taken our beloved friend and classmate, Glenn Cross, from our midst, we, the Electrical Society of Kansas University, remembering the splendid example of his life as a student, his devotion to his work, and the value of his friendship, desire to extend and express our deepest sympathy and condolence to the family and his many friends.
"Be it resolved, that a copy of our expression be sent to the family, and that the secretary record the same on the minutes of the society and that a copy be published in the University Kansan.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1910
STUDENTS ATTEMPT CONQUEST OF AIR
THREE K. U. MEN BUILT A
BLERIOT MONOPLANE.
New Ideas in Construction Embodied in Machine, Which Will Be Tested During Holidays.
The first air craft built by students of the University of Kansas will be tried out during the Christmas holidays. The machine is a Bleriot type monoplane built by Gilbert R. Smith, a sophomore in the School of Engineering, Harry Elliott, a junior in the College, and his brother, Paul C. Elliott, a sophomore in the School of Engineering.
The three men have been at work on the aeroplane in a shed on Haskell avenue ever since last summer. The machine was completed in time for a test during the Thanksgiving vacation. On the Friday following Thanksgiving the craft was taken from its shed for a trial flight. But when all preparations had been made, a strong wind from the northwest caught one wing of the machine and before it could be secured properly, swung it over and crashed it down upon the frame, punching a hole through the aluminum covering and bending one of the ribs of the wing. The damage has been repaired and another attempt at flight will be made in a seventy-acre field south of Lawrence during the holidays.
The idea of building an aeroplane was first conceived by Harry Elliott, a year ago last October, and the three men immediately set to work upon the first model, which was constructed of wood with canvas covering for the wings. Their first model was a glider. The motive power was furnished by an automobile and a long manila rope. After several successful flights had been made plans were laid for the construction of a self-propelling machine that should be a real aeroplane.
The materials for the new machine were received the latter part of July and the work was started. The frame work which is usually made of certain tough woods, in the Elliott-Smith machine is of steel tubing which has several times the strength of the wood and at the same time offers extreme lightness. All joints were securely brazed and put to a rigorous test for strength. Sheet aluminum was substituted for canvas for the covering of the wings and the guiding planes.
The expanse of the wings is twenty-six feet from tip to tip with an area of approximately 200 square feet. The engine, which is 30 horse-power with two cylinders and which weights only 120 pounds, and the gasoline tank are placed toward the front just below the level of the wings. The aviator's seat is toward the rear about three feet below the level of the engine. This arrangement serves to give an automatic balance to the machine, and for rounding curves, small planes are hinged to the outer edge of the large wings to secure the warping effect that is obtained in the Wright biplane.
The weight of the entire machine with a moderately heavy man in the aviator's seat and everything ready for a flight will not exceed 500 pounds, which, the builders say, is lighter than any other machine of equal size and strength.
Several tests of the engine mounted in the frame without the wings attached, have proved it to be satisfactory and although of only two cylinders, the vibration is very slight. The six-foot propellor blade can be revolved at a rate of 1,500 revolutions a minute.
THE LETTER THAT
A Communication Awaits Secretary of the Theta Nu Epsilon.
In spite of the hard, slow death which T. N. E. died, there seem to be people who think it is not dead yet. A letter addressed to the secretary of Theta Nu Epsilon, Delta Signa chapter, was received at the University postoffice yesterday. No one at the University postoffice knew who the secretary of the defunct order is, and the letter was turned over to The Kansan with instructions to find that officer if possible. The letter awaits the person to whom it is addressed.
If it is not called for, the contents may be examined by the University authorities, in whose care it was addressed.
MANY CONVENTIONS
Facutly Members Will Attend Conferences of University Men During Holidays.
The University of Kansas will be well represented at various conventions of University professors, which will be held during the Christmas vacation.
Prof. S. J. Hunter will read papers at the meetings of the American association for the Advancement of Science, the Association of State Entomologists, and the Entomological Society of America. These conventions will be held at Minneapolis, Minn., December 28 to January 1.
Prof. C. E. McClung will attend the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and will preside over Section F, or the zoology section of that convention. He will also attend the meeting of American Zoologists and will read a paper on "Chromosome Individuality."
The American Historical Association, which holds its meeting at Indianapolis, Ind., December 27-29, will be attended by all the members of the department of history, Professors Hodder,, Patterson, Becker, Crawford,and Davis.
At St. Louis, December 27-30, the following conventions will be held: the American Sociological Society, the American Economic society, the Political Science association, and the American Association of Labor Legislation. Professors Blackmar, Boynton, and Dykstra will attend. Professor Blackmar will read a paper on "Leadership in Reform" before the American Sociological society.
Prof. C. E. McClung, who represents the University of Kansas in the Missouri Valley conference announced yesterday that Prof. A. G. Smith of Iowa State College, as chairman of the conference had called a special meeting for December 17 or 19, at Kansas City, Mo.
One of the things which will be considered will be the admission of Washburn College, Kansas Agricultural College, and the University of Colorado, into the conference.
The first number of the Oread Magazine, the new magazine published under the auspices of the Quill club, was issued Monday morning. The magazine contains eight short stories and four poems, most of them written by seniors. The new publication has had a good sale and the first edition is nearly exhausted.

Chancellor Strong Is Making an Effort to Change the Vote of the Kansas Physicians.
A movement has been started by Chancellor Frank Strong toocate the new clinical department of the School of Medicine at Lawrence, rather than at Kansas City, Kan., and thereby unify the school here.
On last Saturday, the Chancellor submitted at the meeting of the Board of Regents, a report compiled from answers to a general communication to all the Kansas physicians. That report showed that 60 per cent of the 800 doctors favored Kansas City, Kan., as the place of location. Evidently the Regents did not approve of the vote, however, for following the meeting, the Chancellor sent more letters asking for further consideration on the part of the doctors.
The last letter points out the advantage of locating the $150, 000 building here and thereby establishing one of the strongest medical centers in the West. The matter will be finally settled probably at the next meeting of the Board of Regents.
At the meeting Saturday Dr. S. J. Crumbine, present secretary of the State Board of Health, was chosen administrative head of the new school after its reorganization. Dr. M. T. Sudler will be associate dean in immediate charge of instructional work.
COUNTY CLUB PLANS.
Most of Them Include Banquet During Holidays.
The University students have organized county clubs and will have banquets during the holidays for the seniors of the county high schools. The object of the clubs is to stir up enthusiasm for the University.
The last clubs organized are those of Reno and Anderson counties. Dean Olin Templin of the College entertained the Reno county students last Friday evening at his home. A banquet will be held at Hutchinson on December 27.
The Anderson county student met Friday evening and elected Edward Taylor president, and Frank Nesbit, treasurer. A banquet will be held December 23 at, Garnett.
Probably the most elaborate plans are those of the Cherokee county club of which Fred Lee is president. On Wednesday, December 21, the high school seniors will be entertained with a farce representing a meeting of Cherokee students to organize a club. As a curtain raiser a room supposed to be that of a student at the University, will be shown Many counties have basket-ball teams. The Johnson county boys arranged Saturday to play Olathe, Spring Hill, Rosedale and Gardner.
The only club not to have a banquet during the holidays is the Short Grass club, of which W. H. Rodebush is president. All of the twenty-four counties west of the one hundredth meridian are in this club and the members will not be able to get together during the holidays.
Pharmics Will Wear Jerseys.
The junior pharmacies held a meeting last. Wednesday morning and decided to wear blue jerseys with a red mortar and pestle on them. On the mottar and pestle will be the numerals, '12, in blue.
Mr. C. H. Brown of the Horton Headlight spoke to the sophomore reporting class Monday.
ELECTRICITY FOR FARMERS.
Students Are Working Out Plans for Thesis.
An electric lighting system for a farming community will be the subject of the theses of Verne Long and Roy Porterfield, seniors in the School of Engineering.
The system as it will be worked out will be located six and a half miles southwest of Madison, Kan., the home of Long. Power will be obtained from the falls on the Verdigris river. Should the farmers of that community become interested in the lighting proposition, the plans as worked out by Long and Poterfield will be used to install the plant.
They will begin their work during the Christmas vacation on the plans.
SCHEDULE 18 GAMES
Prospects Are Bright for a Successful Basket-Ball Season.
The schedule for the coming basketball season was announced by Manager Lansdon yesterday and is as follows: January 13 and 14, Nebraska at Lawrence; January 16 and 17, Iowa State College at Lawrence; January 21, Baker at Baldwin; January 27 and 28, Missouri at Lawrence; February 4, K. C. A. C at Lawrence; February 11, Baker at Lawrence; February 16, K. C. A. C at Kansas City; February 17 and 18, Missouri at Columbus, February 20 and 21, Iowa State College at Ames; February 23, Cotner at Lincoln, Neb.; February 24 and 25, Nebraska at Lincoln.
Prospeets are bright for an other successful year in basketball. More and better material is in school than ever before. Four of last year's K men, Captain Heizer, V. Long, Johnson and Martindell are back, besides a number of last year's substitutes, among the most promising are Larson, F. H. Long, guards; Watson, Riney, Young and Stuckey, forwards, and Jim Smith and O. Mallis, centers. The good players from last year's freshman squad include, Wheelock, Douseman and Hite, forwards, and Snider, Eisle and Hess, guards.
This year's freshman team is the best that the University ever has had. Boehm, the star center who played on the University of Pennsylvania team, is considered the best in the West. "Red" Brown, of Kansas City Central High, Trickett, Kansas City Kansas High, Perry, Kansas City Manual; T. S. Reed, Crawford, Riney, Greenlees, forwards, and L. Smith, Zabel and W. F.Brown, guards, are the most promising candidates. The freshmen will not play high school teams as last year, but will contend with class teams and the new college team.

WILL FORM CLUB OF "GOOD FELLOWS"
STUDENTS START FUND TO
HELP NATE MILLER.
Aged Janitor, Suffering and in Need, Will Have Christmas Remembrance.
The students and faculty of the University have an opportunity to join the Association of Good Fellows that is being organized in every town with the object of providing Christmas cheer to those who have been visited by adversity. Nate Miller, the aged juritor of the University, lies at home helpless, as the result of a stroke of paralysis he suffered some weeks ago. He has only a small chance of recovery. He and his aged wife, also in feeble health, live alone. They need help. The kind of help they would appreciate most is that coming from the remembrance of the students—just a small Christmas gift before the student body leaves for holiday enjoyment at home.
A number of students and faculty members have interested themselves in the matter, and a fund will be raised for the relief of the man who has been the faithful servant of the University for many years. Mr. E. B. Cronemeyer will act as custodian of the fund.
No amount is too small to give. Subscribers are asked to leave their contributions at the window in the secretary's office any time this week. It is hoped that members of the faculty who have not already done so will hand contributions to Mr. Cronemeyer.
All the older students, as far back as history goes, knew Nate as a friend. When his failing strength necessitated his removal from Fraser hall to lighter work about the campus, he did not meet the students so often, and yet everybody knows Nate. His spirit of friendliness extended to everyone and won friendliness in return.
Members of the Alumni association will be asked to add to the fund for his relief, but their responses can not be received for some time. University students who contribute this week will have the satisfaction of leading the movement to help the old janitor. Many will take this opportunity to prove their membership in the Association of Good Fellows.
CLASS WAS IMPRJSONED.
Fraser Hall Lock Played Role of Jokesmith.
A jammed lock on the door of room 119 Fraser hall made it necessary for the members of Prof. Chas. Gray's English literature class to make their exit through a north window at the close of the period yesterday afternoon. The lock was out of order and when the door closed upon the class it closed for good. The class, girls and all, led by the professor, gave an exhibition of what they would have done had a roaring fire cut off their escape.
Later the janitor with a crowbar made the striking lock loosen up.
Edgar Markham, city editor of the Leavenworth Times, who was graduated from the College last year, visited University friends Sunday and Monday. He made a short talk to the sophomore class in journalism Monday morning.
Prof. H. W. Emerson of the School of Pharmacy will speak Friday at 11:30 in room 205 of the chemistry building, on "Recent Changes in Pharmacy," before the Pharmaceutical society.
The New Courses in Home Economics BY EDNA D. DAY
Home economics has been introduced into the University of Kansas this year. Temporary rooms have been fitted up in the basement of Fraser hall, with the expectation that the home lovers of the state would soon see to it that in a University having several buildings devoted to the professional training of men to earn money to support homes, there should be at least one building devoted to training women to use wisely this money in the making of homes.
In the olden days all girls were trained at home in household pursuits. This practice is no longer as common as it was, nor is it under present-day conditions, as efficient a means of training for home-making as it was in the past. The old training was given not so much for the sake of the training, but because the daughter's help was needed by the mother in her work. Now that the factory has taken from the home many of its former industries, it is no longer necessary that the girls as well as the mother should give their time to the housework. As a consequence, many other interests have developed that claim the time and energy of the growing daughters, and although some mothers still, by effort, arrange to give their household training, it is not so easily nor as thoroughly done as formerly.
However, although the necessary housework is less, the knowledge needed in the proper management of the home has increased. Today there is more to learn that concerns the home and less time in which to learn it. Some short-cut process must be used. Not only is it less easy for a mother to arrange to train her daughter at home, but the changed conditions make the precepts handed down from grandmother and the experience gained by mother herself insufficient to meet the still rapidly changing conditions. A study of underlying principles does much to shorten the time needed to learn details. Moreover, only an understanding of underlying principles makes adaptations to
new conditions easily possible. Few home-makers know enough of these principles to competently teach their daughters. Moreover, it is easier for the school to do this teaching, as it has long taught language, mathematics, and science.
However, while the school can best teach general principles and must give enough practice to make principles understood, it can not in general take the time to give as much practice as the acquirement of skill demands. Here is the opportunity of the home. The girl with interest aroused and principles learned should be given an opportunity Saturday or Sunday or vacation times to acquire skill, and at the same time to give her mother a vacation.
While much can be done in the high school, until a student has had college or university work in physical, biological and social sciences, and has reached the greater maturity of college years, many of the underlying principles can not be fully grasped. In college, as well as in the lower schools, the work has special educational value because of its own inherent interest. Moreover, by its aid, all the work of a general college course planned originally for men can be made more interesting and valuable for women students.
It is not enough, however, that it should be taught in one institution of higher learning in the state. It should be taught everywhere that girls are taught. The city and town girl needs the instruction fully as much as the country girl. In fact, if there is any difference she needs it more because in general she gets less of it at home.
The work in home economies in the University includes this year a course on Foods, which is an experimental study of the principles of food selection and preparation. The illustration accompanying this article shows the class in the laboratory studying dextrin, the product formed in toasting bread and browning flour. The lesson included a study of the properties of dextrin, including experiments to

show the relative thickening properties of white and brownen flour, to be applied later in making brown gravy. Also, the members of the class were to prove experimentally that dextrin is a stage in the digestion of starch. Then they made toast in three different ways and compared the products from the standpoint of digestibility as well as flavor.
In the House course this term attention is given primarily to sanitation. The class is studying the principles of heating, lighting, ventilation and plumbing and the planning of basement, kitchen and bath room. The second term's work deals primarily with the artistic aspects and includes a study of plans for other parts of the house.
In the course on Home Administration the class is studying the principles of spending both time and money for a home. Among other things, the members of the class have made a special study of the staple groceries,the brands on the market,the chances of adulteration,and the advantages of buying in quantities.
Next year we hope to give in addition a course in dietetics, a study of the nutritive values of different foods and its application in the planning of meals to suit different economic and dietetic conditions,and a course on special problems of food preparation and dietetics.

Also we hope to begin the study of textiles and clothing. Much of the family sewing has left the home, but the problem of a wise choice of dress goods is an ever increasing one. It is said that more money is spent every year on dress than on any other attempt at art expression, yet how few women have been taught to apply principles of art and design to dress! Some women succeed because they are born artists, but all might succeed with much less effort if they were taught aright. In our course on textiles and clothing we expect to teach the characteristics of different fibers and fabrics, their adaptation to different uses,principles of cleaning, the relation of the consumer to the textile industry and the application of art to dress.

"The Living Word of Students Better Than Letter Writing," Says Professor Carruth.
At the chapel exercises Friday morning, Vice Chancellor Carruth, who was conducting the exercises, gave a short review of the problem of the University appropriation, and urged that students spend a part of their Christmas vacation in preparing their home legislators for the coming session.
"As you probably knew," said Professor Carruth, "the state auditor has cut off some of the most important features of the University budget, in his recommendation of the legislature. Of course he has no authority to curtail appropriations, but his opinion has weight. You, as students of the University know better than anyone else what the University needs, and you may be sure that Chncellor Strong, who is very conservative, has been reasonable in his requests.
"Ninety per cent of the counties of the state are represented in this student body and your influence is wide-spread and very effective if properly wielded. All the printing and letter-writing the University can do, will not count as much toward securing the desirable result as the living word of you students.
"So I again urge upon you to make the occasion of your visit home an opportunity to talk to the legislators and influential citizens of your district, and do your part in securing for the University the appropriation as recommended by the Chancellor."

The foregoing is a dialogue between two members of one of the co-operative boarding clubs conducted by students of the University. One man had turned a deaf ear to the call of the alarm and had slept an hour later than his schedule. Consequently breakfast had not been prepared. His fellow club members had organized an alarm brigade and hence the bucket of water in the face of the sleeping cook.
This particular club is being maintained at 1228 Rhode Island by the following men; Hugh Wassen, Homer Hoyt, John Suchy
Edward Lodge,Clarence Dimmitt and Edward Steele.
The men are doing their own cooking and each day two members are selected to prepare each meal. The steward by virtue if his work in keeping the larder full is immune from any of the batteries. The boys are all satisfied with the method they have chosen for obtaining their board and are living well on a weekly expense of $1.25. A "battery" consists of the men who are selected to prepare the next meal and those "on deck" follow the "battery." Wassen holds the honor of being the champion "gravymaker" of the club.
Severe Earthquake Recorded.
The University seismograph recorded tremors Saturday morning indicative of shocks of severe intensity. The preliminary tremors reached here at 3:51 a.m. The main waves began at 4:16 and lasted till 4:24. The earth continued to tremble perceptibly until 5:39, making the entire duration of the disturbance an hour and forty-eight minutes. The shocks were from an east to west-ery direction and the distance was 6,500 miles.

When the Athletic board of the University awarded Ks to seventeen members of the football squad a week or so ago the season of 1910 was officially closed. And when, a few days later, Earl Ammons was chosen captain of next fall's squad, the season of 1911 was officially opened.
Already there has been muel speculation as to just what will be the status of next year's eleven. Rulings of the Missouri Valley Conference, which take effect next fall, will undoubtedly play an important part in changing the entire game. To begin with Kennedy and Mosse, who have coached Kansas for a number of years, have severed their connection with the University. A ruling against professional coaches has made it necessary for them to cease coaching the team. The coach next season must be a member of the University faculty and a non-professional. Three men have been spoken of as possible candidates. They are "Tommy" Johnson, captain of the 1910 squad, and Carl Rouse and Alpha Brummage, former students at the University. No definite action has been taken by the University authorities, however, and probably none will be taken for some time. Neither is it known what position will be created on the faculty to care for the coach.
Moreover, as during the past season, the training table will be eliminated. These rulings place football on practically the same basis as baseball and track athletics occupy at the present time. The result of the change on the team is still a matter of speculation. So far as material is concerned, however, there is no doubt but that there will be no lack. A number of the present K men will return and several members of this year's squad also are promising material for the 1911 team. Furthermore, there are many freshmen who will be eligible for next season's squad.
A glance into the future of football, however, justifies a retrospective look, too. The season of 1910 is worthy of consideration
for several reasons. Firstly, it proved to be one of the most successful for several years; secondly, it is the last year in which a Thanksgiving game will be played against Missouri at Kansas City, and thirdly, it may go down in history as the last season of K. U. under professional coaches.
Also, the season of 1910 has proven to be one of the most successful from a financial viewpoint for a number of years. More than eleven thousand dollars profit was realized during the fall.
A glance at the scores. of the 1910 games shows the season's success. In eight battles Kansas was defeated but once, and tied another time. Six games were decisive victories. Nebraska administered the defeat, and the tie game was played with the Tigers. Kansas also has placed to her credit 75 points while her opponents tallied only 22. The largest score made by K. U. against an opponent was 21. The largest made against the team was 6.
A decision has not yet been reached on the place of playing the 1911 Thanksgiving battle. According to the Missouri Valley Conference rules the game must be played either at Columbia or at Lawrence. At this time it is very probable that Lawrence will be chosen as the battle ground. Whether such an arrangement will prove a success is a matter of much debate. The game at Kansas City certainly has been a money maker for both schools. Will the financial loss suffered by changing the place of playing the game be offset by the advantages gained is the question to be worked out next season.

TEAM OF SIX MEN ON TUMBLING TRIP
Spectacular Exhibition of Physical Culture Work at University Will Be Given.
The six men who compose the University tumbling team will start on a trip through Kansas to give an exhibition of the physical culture work that is being done at the University. The first date that will be filed is at Halstead on December 19; Newton will be made on December 20; Hutchinson on December 21, Great Bend on December 22, Ellsworth on December 23, and Salina on December 26. The team will spend Christmas at Ellsworth. The men who compose the team are C. B. Root, coach; "Tim" Shotts, Howard C. Pauly, George Babb, Ray Ghormley, and Charles Brownlee.
Schotts is from LaCrosse and is a senior mining engineer. He first began his work on the high-bar when he was eight years old and had to work on a rope trapeze in the barn. His bar work since coming to the University has drawn favorable comment from many of the students of the University. His exhibition last year before the wrestling tournament was his initial public performance.
George Babb, a sophomore in the College from Lawrence, and Charles Brownlee, a special student in the College, from Stafford, are always linked together on account of their work last year as tumbling couple. Babb started his work on the mats when attending high school and has greatly improved since coming to the University. Brownlee was first initiated into the tumbling art at Robinson gymnasium and by dint of hard work has reached a stage near perfection.
Ghormley, a sophomore in the School of Engineering, is from Hutchinson where he worked as a tumbler and comedian while in high school.

PLAN NEW STADIUM TO COST $40,000
ATHLETIC FIELD OF FUTURE ON SOUTH CAMPUS.
Natural Amphitheater Overlooks Field on Which University Sports May Take Place.
Plans for a new athletic field at the University of Kansas have just been completed by Doctor James Naismith, director of physical education. The proposition of a new field has been under consideration by him for the past two or three years, but the resolution passed by the Board-of Regents of the University last year, following the football agitation, providing that all inter-collegiate games should be played on college grounds, made the problem a serious one.
The coming of the Kansas-Missouri game to Lawrence either next year or the year following, raises the question of handling the crowd. The growing importance of the game assures a greater interest and a larger crowd each year. It is thought by Dr. Naismith that McCook field will be inadequate and that to enlarge it
low the gymnasium, and will be used for football and baseball games. The baseball diamond will be directly behind the geology and mining building, and in the northeast corner of the football field. A clearance space of fifty feet has been left on all sides of the field for box seats and automobile space. The grandstand and permanent bleachers will be on the sloping sides of the hill. The top of the bleachers will be on the level with the campus back of them. The permanent seats will accommodate about ten thousand persons. The bleachers on the south being only temporary, can be moved during the baseball season.
The practice fields will probably be ten feet below the level of the large contest field and will be used for general work, especially serub football and baseball. Tennis courts and spring practice fields will be located in various parts of the large field wherever space perMITs. Handball courts will be located near the gymnasium and probably on the same level with the large contest field. Every available space will be utilized for some form of athletics.

so as to add all the required improvements would be practically impossible, on account of interfering with the well established plans for the development of that part of the campus, which is to be carried out within a few years.
The large contest field, 300 by 400 feet, is on a level 65 feet be-
Aside from the need of a new field for the Thanksgiving game, the physical director feels that there is an urgent demand for more room for outdoor exercises. Further, an athletic field should be as close as possible to the gymnasium.
The plans of Dr. Naismith provide for a new field on the slope of the campus hill, south and west of the Robinson Gymnasium, as shown in the accompanying illustration.
The plans as outlined by Doctor Naismith, for the new field are: The site of the proposed field extends from the brow of the hill southward about 300 yards, to the line of the University property and west from the gymnasium 430 yards. The brow of the hill forms a natural amphitheater for bleachers, with the ground sloping to the south and west. Much grading work would be required to put the field into shape but an excellent drainage system could be worked out at the same time.
"My main object," Dr. Naismith says, "is to accommodate the greater number of students with the exercise they want. It is necessary to have practice fields as well as contest fields and above all they should be near the gymnasium. The spectators also have to be provided for in the best possible way."
220-yard straightaway, finishing in a pocket of the bleachers. The circuit of the track will be 100 feet across, permitting high jumping, pole vaulting and other field events in the enclosure while the races are in progress. Ample space will be provided for temporary and permanent bleachers along the sides for the larger contests.

The proposed field is ideally located with respect to the gymnasium and is easily accessible from the rest of the campus and from the street car line. The plan, if carried out, would give the University of Kansas a field for athletic sports, comparable for all practical purposes to the famous stadiums of Harvard and Syracuse, though at a much smaller cost.
The present plans are an enlargement and improvement upon the plans drawn up last year by several engineering seniors. Herbert Stockwell and M.K. Thomenjuniors in the School of Engineering, have been assisting Dr. Naismith in the work this year and should a field be constructed it would be largely after their plans.
Inter-School Meet Postponed.
The inter-school track meet which was to have been held in the gymnasium this week has been postponed till the week of January 9, 1911.

HEE HAW!
Professor Carruth's assertion, in chapel last Friday, that the living words of the students of the University will go further toward securing the appropriation the institution needs for the next biennium than all the printing and letter writing that can be done, is worthy of the earnest consideration of every student. Each student, whether he wills it or not, is the representative of the University in his home community. The University's value to the state is determined by the work it does toward making good citizens. The state did not engage in philanthropy when it established a University. It expected and still expects a definite return. Unless the standards in industry in the arts, and above all, in the character of the citizens of Kansas are raised through its agency,the University is a failure.
He should represent the University actively, not passively. During the Christmas holidays he should do what he can to make plain to the people of his home neighborhood the need in which the University stands of the entire amount of the appropriation that has been asked for. Any reduction of the budget will hamper the efficiency of the institution for years to come. The students now in school may not be affected, but those who come after them will be. In the long run the disadvantage will fall upon the state. In doing what they can toward securing an adequate support of the school, students will be rendering a service not only to the University of
A TIGER IN STREET
That the University has proved faithful to its purpose through all the years of its existence is a truth self-evident to those who have the opportunity to view in a large way its achievements. But not all the people of Kansas have the opportunity to take the larger view. They can judge of the University's value to the state only from what they know of the students who are enrolled from their particular communities. Therefore every student has upon his shoulders a great responsibility to represent worthily the school to which he is indebted for his education.

Kansas, but to the state of Kansas as well.
Does the tone of jingle bells really express the great idea of Christmas? Is it a day on which people should cull out the mere pleasures of living for consideration and reject all that is serious, and momentous because it may be more or less somber? Life is a tremendously complex thing. Christmas and the ideas that Christmas stands for were meant to apply to all of life, its pathos and its problems as well as its
The editor of Collier's of course knows what he wants to print in his columns and he doubtless has formed some shrewd estimates of what his readers want. But many people will differ from his idea of what constitutes a good Christmas poem.
'THE VOICE OF CHRISTMAS'
The poem by Harry Kemp, the Lawrence poet, which appears in this issue of The University Kansas, was written in response to an invitation from Collier's Weekly, asking him to write a Christmas poem for that publication. The editor of Collier's returned the poem because it is "too somber" and contains "too much of Him crucified," to be in the editor's opinion a good Christmas poem.
"I am sorry to say our office doesn't like this. When I say doesn't like it,I mean that they don't quite like it for the needs of our Christmas number. They feel it is a little too somber for a good cheer number: a little too much of Him crucified.
Mr. Kemp took his invitation from Collier's seriously and set out to write the best poem it was in his gift to produce—a poem that would express the real meaning of Christmas. To have a poem of his "featured" in a special issue of a paper of such scope as Collier's would be a fine recognition of a struggling young poet, one not to be disregarded; besides he labored to justify the responsibility that had been placed on him to voice the immemorial spirit and meaning of the Christmas celebration to the American people. The result, and its reception of the editor of Collier's, together are calculated to arouse some interesting reflections on editorial judgments of literature tempered by the editorial conception of "what the people want."
Mr. Kemp did not take advantage of the invitation to "try again." He replied to the editor that the poem he had written was the best expression of Christmas of which he was capable and that he did not feel equal to the task of infusing the "tone of jingle bells" into it.
"Don't you want to take another try at it, and try and express, in three or four stanzas something of the sort—something of the cheer of universal brotherhood, to the tone of jingle bells. Get the true Christmas spirit of good-cheer to all, with the pleasure of sleighbells in it. Make us all feel real good over it. Do try."
The editor of Collier's made the following criticism of the poem in a letter to Mr. Kemp.
pleasures. Every pleasure has its background of conditions that are not all that they should be, and can not be disassociated from that background. Surely the view of life that surveys existence as a whole unblinkingly and yet extracts hope and good cheer from the survey is greater than that which skims the surface for the merely pleasant. Christmas, of all days of the year, is a time which demands that we take the larger view.
To conclude that Christmas is a time of inane rejoicing made possible by closing the eyes to half the realities of life is to deny the very essence of the celebration and to reflect upon the people who observe it. It is because it has helped to meet the deeper problems of life that Christmas has come to be what it now is.
The University Kausan takes pleasure in printing Mr. Kemp's poem, believing that his "Voice of Christmas" speaks in a remarkably complete way of the sacred character of the day.
STUDENTS.
Can't Win Applause That Way.
Mr. Nation, the state auditor, is engaged in slashing the appropriations asked for by the University of Kansas, the State Agricultural College and the State Normal schools. Fortunately the day has passed in Kansas when a politician can win applause by putting the state educational institutions on half rations.—Kansas City Star.
Some years ago Kate Stephens, a graduate of the University, wrote an essay entitled "The University of Hesperus," which was a picture of the University of Kansas and its life in the early days. Conditions have changed in some respects from what they once were, but students are much the same as they have always been. For instance, this description by Miss Stephens of the students of the University's younger days applies very well to those of the present:
"These students have come from all kinds of homes, from meager town houses, from the plainest and most forlorn farm houses, and from other houses laden and bursting with plenty—and plenty in Hesperus is always more plenty than plenty anywhere else. Many of these young people have been nurtured delicately, but a large number have doubtless tasted the bitterness of overwork and the struggle of life before their teens . . ."
"But from whatever part of the state the students come to their University, he and she commonly come—they are not sent. The distinction is trite, but there is always a vast difference. In many cases they have made the choice and way for themselves. They have earned money to pay for their living while at school and they expect, during the three four, or five years they are in their intellectual Canaan,to spend vacations in work—in harvesting great wheat-fields of Philistia, or some other honest bread-winning."

New Pictures For Haworth Hall.
Prof. Erasmus Haworth has just received two fine pictures to be hung on the walls of the geology and mining building. The pictures are from California. One is a view of the Stanford University Quad, Palo Alto, Californiia; the other is of the Italian fishing boats in the bay at San Francisco. The geology building is already well furnished with many fine views and it is one of Professor Haworth's chief aims to continue to add such pictures to the full extent of the available wall space of the building.

PROMOTING DEBATE IN HIGH SCHOOL
UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT FURNISHES DATA.
Contest for State Championship at University at Time of the High School Meet.
The University Department of Extension is busy at present sending out references and magazine clippings that may assist the members of the high school debating league which was organized last spring, under the direction of Richard R. Price at the annual high school conference at the University.
The plan as outlined in the constitution provides for debates to be held first among the schools of one district upon questions prepared by the Extension department. Then the champion of one district meets the champion of an adjacent district, the debates to continue until but two debaters remain undefended. The final debate will be held at Lawrence the night of April 29, which is the day before the annual high school track meet in the spring.
As an aid to the debaters the department of University Extension has published a free book on the subject of debating that is sent upon request to any high school The references to magazine articles and a bibliography of the subject was prepared last summer The clippings are required to be returned at the end of two weeks. Arguments on both sides of the question are sent out so that the debater may be prepared in rebuttal as well as constructive argument.
The league, as organized last year, includes eight districts with 45 high schools, in which every county of the state is represented. At the conference last May a constitution drawn up by Prof. R. R. Price, after a study of similar organizations in other states, was adopted by the conference with a few minor changes, and a director for each district was appointed.
The questions to be debated will be on important problems of the day and will include such topics as the popular election of United States Senators, the commission plan of city government, single tax, parcel posts, simplified spelling, international disarmament short ballot, and initiative and referendum.
Any high school in the state may become a member on payment of $3 to the district director.
Claim to Be Most Cosmopolitan.
Oberlin College makes a claim through the columns of its December Alumni Magazine to be the most cosmopolitan college in America. Its large number of alumni in foreign lands, the first exchange of college lectures between Japan and America, its prosperous International club, and a recently appointed faculty adviser of foreign students are listed among the factors contributing to its cosmopolitanism.
Students at Tulane University, New Orleans, have not heeded the appeals of President Craighead to take part in athletics as he wishes. He has announced, therefore that every freshman and sophomore shall be required to take a certain amount of exercise prescribed by the faculty. Outdoor work will constitute the greater part of the physical requirements.

POETS AND POETRY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
--that fell
It is generally believed that the University of Kansas exercises an influence upon the development of the material arts alone, but to those who live in Lawrence, close to the actual life of the University and of its student body, it is clearly manifest that some spirit of inspiration hovers over the historical old town of Lawrence, and under its subtle influence many students who come here thoughtless and care-free boys and girls, depart as poets and authors.
The University of Kansas may point with pride, not only to those former students and alumni who have already garnered literary reputations, but may well indeed interest herself in that younger choir of poets who have not as yet ventured from beneath the protecting wing of their Alma Mater.
A list including the names of students of the University, who are at present engaged in producing verse, would indeed be astounding as to numbers, and a revelation as to the identity of the writers.
For lack of space, it is impossible herewith to give mention of all the fledgling poets who are gathered at the University, but only to those few who are more or less known by their published works, or occasional verse.
First and foremost of all KU. bards , is, of course, Harry Kemp. Not directly connected with the University at present, he nevertheless is a student in a larger sense on account of his residence in Lawrence, his constant use of the University library fo. purposes of study and his relations with University professors.
Kemp has achieved to no mean rank among the poets of America and is read with interest by a large group of those interested in current literature. Heretofore his poems have appeared only in magazines, chiefly the American, and New York Independent, but a volume will soon be issued containing the best of his works Kemp is so well known to the people of Lawrence, and to the public at large that further comment here is unnecessary.
The following lyric is one of the most recent from his pen:
THE HEIGHTS.
Of golden worth no more appears
The Dream my fancies built of yore;
The Disillusionment of Years
With Her stern wand, has proven ore
That I deemed aureate, grossest clay,- And painfully accomplished sense Has led me up the thorny way
Of hard and harsh experience:
Yet he who climbs the heights may see Eastward from Eve's rose-rippled bars.
The concaves of Infinity
The concaves of Infinity And all the marches of the stars.
Wattles has published his verse to some extent in current magazines, and intends to offer his initial volume to the public in the near future. The following poem of his is reprinted from the Oread Magazine:
Softly sleeps, as he passes, the sweet wayside grasses
And the heart of a dreamer of dreams is a-start
REALITY.
A star has bloomed in the night, Cold and far.
At the light of the star;
In the path where the primroses are
The road winds on through the plain,
Dusty-white.
But the star is a glory of glories afar
At an infinite height;
Intent on the burning bright goal of his yearning.
Snowy-soft on the sod
He has sped through the shadows of night;
On a delicate, wind-fragrant primrose
Ah, dreamer, fond-dreaming, the star was but seeming.
Has mingled his soul with the star,—
But he trod
"Twas the primrose was God!
A member of the Graduate School, and a fellow in the department of philosophy, he is alike a careful student and a deep thinker.
John Shea is well known at the University of Kansas and over the state of Kansas as well, as a poet of ability. Almost any issue of the Kansas Magazine will contain one or more of his lyrics.
His poetry, however, is not impregnated with the problems of philology with which he busies his mind, but is a creation of leisure hours, and contains a striking note of originality and happiness.
Some god gave thee to tell how good each day.
How the veiled sun with holy mornin glow,
JOHN BURROUGHS.
Breaks from the east, and with unsight
Lovejoy is best known as an artist, and his watercolors and charcoal studies are much in demand among the people of Lawrence.
The following was dashed off with a speed which rivals that of Walt Mason, and is a fair sample of his claims to distinction as a humorous poet:
The fierce red sunset of the western sky Paints fair Mount Oread's brow with livid hue;
Slants through the windows of a dusky room,
THE POET AND THE CHEMIST.
And lights the dim interior to view.
Mid-firing test tubes, dome capsules
The mystic Bushong threads his careful way,
Scanning the crystals of precipitates. Arranging pungent draughts in prim array.
And now through gloomy door, the stately Kemp
Appears with measured tread, his wind-tossed locks
About some bay whose mouth the
"Canst thon reveal the law which needs must rule."
Th' traction of the ruby lips of youth;
When contact with a tender hand,
forsooth.
Sends thrills which fire the ganglia of the brain.
Which loose the seven-fold fibers of the light;
Thy instruments which spectralize the sky,
And gazing down from heights of poetry,
A distant murmur pricks the poet's ear And calls him from his philosophic flight.
Amid the gath'ring shadows of the night.
He sees the weary figure of Bushong. His ample features nestled on his breast.
And each gray crucible and reeking tube
Resounds the measured rhythm of his rest.
THE VOICE OF CHRISTMAS
I cannot put the presence by, of Him, the Crucified,
Who moves men's spirits with His Love as doth the moon, the tide:
Again I see the life He lived, the godlike death He died;
Again I see upon the cross that great soul-battle fought Into the texture of the world the tale of which is wrought Until it hath become the woof of human deed and thought;
And, joining with the adceden bells that all the morning fill,
His cry of agony doth yet my inmost being thrill
Like some fresh grief from yesterday which tears the heart-strings still.
I cannot put His Presence by, I meet Him everywhere; I meet Him in the country town, the city's busy square; The mansion and the tenement attest his Presence there.
Upon the funneled ships at sea He sets His shining feet; The distant Ends of Empire not in vain His Name repeat,— And, like the presence of a rose, He makes the whole world sweet.
He comes to break the barriers down raised up by barren creeds;
About the earth from zone to zone like sunlight He proceeds;
He comes to give the World's starved heart the perfect love it needs,
The Christ whose friends have played Him false, whom dogmas have belied,
Still speaking to the hearts of men...Tho shamed and crucified,
The Master of the Centuries who will not be denied!
—HARRY KEMP.

A student himself making small pretensions to the name of "poet," and yet richly deserving mention as a writer of verse, is Owen Lovejoy, a junior in the College. Only occasionally does he proffer anything to University readers, but what he does offer is eagerly read.

Miss Maude Swisher, a sophmore in the College, has from time to time written for the K. K. Magazine. Her poems, mostly impressionistic studies, are written under the stress of real poetic feeling. The following is a little poem describing the sensations experienced by a poet at the approach of evening:

THE STUFF OF SOULS.

Possessed of a soul-heritage denied

Of Immortality; hath ever cried
To know the secret of this soul that hides

To thee who wouldst these mysteries explore,
hath jealous Heaven left one gate ajar
So! feast your fill of charmed poesy's
lore,

For many singers on this saddened star Have wrought their souls in song, ceasing before
The following is a tribute from his pen to the victims of the Quantrell rail:
Earl O'Roke, another member of the junior class of the College, occupies the position of poet-laureate of the K. K. club, and has contributed some good verse to the publication of that society.
They slumber 'neath the oak trees's fallen leaves;
Beside their tomb, the gopher digs his
lair,
And silk threads that the Indian Summer weaves

SPOKE ON BRITISH INDIA.
England Has Helped Conditions There, Says W. T. Elmore.
"The people of British India are no where near competent for self-government," said W. T. Elmore, who has been a missionary in that country for nine years, in an address on "India's Unrest," in chapel Friday morning. "The lack of national honor and the prevalence of bribe taking among the native officials are the great obstacles delaying the granting of any considerable measure of self-government."
Though many British officials are unsympathetic and the London government imposes some grievous taxes, Mr. Elmore says that Great Britain has done all for India that ever has been done for it. Not only does that country have great natural resources and a challenging history, but the English people have developed it and are preparing it for a large influence if its population can be taught aright.
India has many good schools, said Mr. Elmore, but as 95 per cent of her educated men hope to enter government employ where there is an opening for but a much smaller proportion, many of these men become mere political agitators. The all-pervading caste system is also recognized by the nation's leaders as a great handicap to the country's progress.
Mr. Elmore explained that one great need of missionary and other uplifting influences was to change the character of the homes. Where women are despised even the best educated men will sink back to the low native level when their environment is debasing.
OTTAWA LOST COIN
Football Did Not Pay and May Give Up Basket-Ball.
According to a report issued by Treasurer Frank Jennings of the Ottawa University student council, the football season of the university ended with the management $483.86 in the hole. The deficit will probably mean the abandonment of a basket-ball schedule this year, as that sport has always been a money loser there. Every football contest at home with the exception of the Baker game lost money. A college minstrel show is being planned to make up part of the deficit.

K. U. HAS STUDENTS FROM 95 COUNTIES
TEN "SHORT GRASS" COUN
TIES NOT REPRESENTED.
Douglas, Wyandotte, and Sedg wick the Only Counties Represented by Over 50 Students.
The 1,796 students who are at present enrolled in the University from the state of Kansas, represent ninety-five counties. This is the same representation as last year. The ten counties that are not represented are of the "Short Grass" country, west of the 100th meridian. They are Gove, Grant, Gray, Greeley, Haskell, Hodgeman, Kearney, Morton, Stanton, and Stevens.
Douglas county leads with 509, of whom 497 are from Lawrence, and eight each from Baldwin and Eudora. Wyandotte county comes next with 91, of whom 68 are from Kansas City, Kan.; Sedgwick has 52, of whom 45 are from Wichita; and Shawnee 46, of whom 43 are from Topeka. Last year Dickinson county, with 50 students, had a larger enrollment than Sedgwick and Shawnee, but this year its enrollment is only 43. Labette county, which was at twelfth place last year with 29 students, is now in sixth place with 36 students.
Leavenworth and Montgomery counties are next with 55 each. Harvey and Johnson counties have an enrollment of 33 each. The other counties represented by
twenty or more students are as follows: Reno 30, Brown 29,
Crawford 26, Bourbon 25, Nemaha 25, Sumner 25, Cowley 23, Marshall 23, Rice 23, Atchison 22, McPherson 20, and Miami 20.
Will Give Extension Lectures.

GIRLS MAY HAVE $70 HATS FOR $7
A COURSE IN "ESTHETIC ECONOMY" DOES IT.
Course at Barnard to Enable Women to Dress Well on a Small Expenditure.
New York, Dec. 5.—Miss Evelyn Tobey is teaching Barnard and Columbia girls "esthetic economy." Miss Tobey explained today, it means nothing more nor less than teaching girls how to have $70 hats for $7. Also it teaches how to dress and look pretty. Miss Tobey believes that college girls and school teachers are lax in the matter of dress.
"Of course," the professor said; "there are some women who are endowed with a genius for looking pretty and up-to-date in the 'raggedest' frock and the oldest bonnet. But there are other women who are devoid of the sense of adornment. Woman's greatest faults, when she starts in to make her own frocks and hats, is her propensity for loading her hats up with feathers and flowers and furebelows out of all sense of proportion.
"The first thing to do when my inspection and criticism are invited is to see how much I can eliminate from a creation. Often one flower is more becoming than a wreath—one flower prettier than a cluster of waving plumes and so on. I start the girls in at the very beginning of a hat. In the first lesson I show how the wire foundation of the hat is clipped and woven into the frame. But, of course, some women haven't any intuition about their clothes and then one has to help them out. I think after the physical culture course the art of beautifying yourself is the next most important.
"I wish I could impress upon the girls who intend to go out into the world the necessity of appearing at their best. Of course, I don't believe in willow plumes before breakfast and chiffons and lace at 12 o'clock, but there is such a thing as looking too plain.
"I would like to see every girl dress herself for work with the same precision and care she would for a dance. I know lots of girls who can do it—but they are not college girls. The college girls and school teachers are most remiss in this respect, but the bonnet course at Columbia will, I trust, inculcate a proper respect for beauty, the most desirable of all feminine attributes.
"A girl can dress very well on a slender salary if she only knows the trick of refurbishing velvet and of cleaning flowers and satins. Here's a hat that's seven years old. I made it myself."
She placed a jaunty black fur turban on her black hair to illustrate her theory. She advised the girls who make their own hats against buying a lot of material at a time, but suggested that ornaments could be added from time to time.
AGAINST TRADE SCHOOLS.
A New York College President Disagrees With Roosevelt.
The Rev. Charles Alexander Richmond, president of Union College, Schenectady, in a recent address, took issue with Col. Theodore Roosevelt against the tendency to establish trade schools. Richmond said that the educators of the country are going mad over the subject of trade schools.
"They are acting for all the world as if they cared only for what shall be eaten, what shall be drunk and the wherewithal to be clothed. Colonel Roosevelt in one of his Western speeches said that every college student should be taught a trade. I suppose he had in mind the case of some boys where a good carpenter or a good
farmer had been spoken in the making of a poor preacher or a briefless barrister. But you might just as well demand that every farmer should be taught Greek."
Are Taking the Work of the Uni versity to the People.
K. U. SPEAKERS POPULAR.
University people seem to be popular as speakers from the number of them filling lecture dates this week over the state.
Miss Esther Clarke of the Extension department spoke Tuesday night at Smith Center before a gathering of women's clubs on "Why Am I a Kansan?" Friday evening, Miss Clarke delivered the same speech at Oak Grange before the Grange Institute. This is an old but prosperous farmers' institute, having been organized thirty years ago and now owning its own hall and a shelter for its horses.
Friday night the following lectures were delivered:
Prof. E.B. Cowrig addressed the Anti-Horse Thief Association at Tisdale, Kan., on "The Farmer's Future."
Professor Jackson spoke to the A. H. T. A. of Holsted, Ken
professor Jackson spoke to the A. H. T. A. of Halstead, Kan. Prof. W. C. Stevens lectured on "The Progress of Plant Breeding" at Hayesville, under the auspices of the A. H. T. A.,which has taken up the branch work of the Extension department of the University.
TO RAISE REQUIREMENT.
Colored Girls' Advance Standard for Their Club.
In order to improve the grade of work done by the colored girls at the University, the Pallacean Girls' League will raise the entrance requirements for admission into the club. Heretofore students beginning their second year were eligible for admission. Now they must have completed a certain number of hours with credit before they can become members.
The League is a literary organization composed of colored graduates and students at the University, and is over ten years old. It has graduate members teaching in the larger cities throughout the state, all of whom are proud of their connection with the club.
Each year a course of study is planned and carefully followed out. This year the work will consist of careful and critical reviews of the current magazines, considered from literary, social, and religious standpoints.
Ruby Thornton is president and Winifred Morton secretary.
NORMAL PAYS DEBT
Football Has Been Paying Proposition at Emporia.
At a meeting of the Athletic Association of the Kansas State normal the financial condition of recent years was reported. The association is out of debt and has over $300 in the treasury with which to start the basket ball season.
Five years ago the association was $600 in the "hole." This has been coming down slowly and was finished with the profits from the Thanksgiving game. The association voted to displace the athletic monogram with a single big "K" for all teams.
C. L. Brewer, the new director of athletics for Missouri University, has arrived in Columbia. As soon as business pertaining to the football season is completed Professor Brewer will take over the athletic management also. In compliance with the conference rules requiring faculty coaches,hwill become the Tiger football mentor in future seasons. He comes from a similar position at the Michigan Agricultural College.
Will Take Up Work at Once as Manager of Athletics.
BREWER AT COLUMBIA.
Statistics compiled by the officers of the Senior class at Princeton show that the average expenses of a college student at that place for four years of his course are $3,675, or about $919 a year. The minimum for four years expenditure reported is $800, and the maximum $10,000.

TEACH PHARMICS BY CORRESPONDENCE
NEW PLAN .IN UNIVERSITY EXTENSION.
Beginning Next Term, Non-Resi dent Students May Work for Ph. G.
At a meeting of the board of regents in the middle of November a course in pharmacy was added to the list of correspondence courses that are being given under the direction of Richard R. Price, the head of the University extension department. The work in the course which will begin the first term after Christmas, will include two terms of instruction by correspondence of twenty-six weeks each, and two summer sessions in the laboratories at Lawrence of six weeks each.
The purpose of instituting such a copurse is to allow persons in the state who lack sufficient entrance credits to allow them to enter the regular course in pharmacy at the University, the chance to become registered assistant pharmacists. Before taking the examination it is necessary that the applicant shall have had four years' practical experience in drug stores of the state. The degree granted at the completion of the course in Ph. G, or graduate in pharmacy.
The fees charged will be the same as those regularly charged in the School of Pharmacy with the additional expense of fees charges for material used in the residence laboratory work, which will range from $8 to $12 for the six weeks. During the summer sessions daily written and oral quizzes will be the feature of the recitation work.
Prof. L. E. Sayre, dean of the School of Pharmacy, lectured on the new plan before a teachers' association at Pittsburgh recently and circulars setting forth the advantage of the new course have been sent to all parts of the state. Much interest has already been aroused an dthe indications are that at the beginning of the next term a large number of students will enroll in the course.
The University of Pennsylvania library has now passed beyond the 300,000 mark in the number of books on its shelves, placing it among the first rank of university libraries in this country.
Statistics on last year's graduating class at Wellesley College, just made public, show that of a class of some 300 young women, 245 are already married or about to be.
