A PROMINENT CLUB WOMAN A STUDENT
MRS. EUSTACE BROWN TAK.
ING A COLLEGE COURSE.
NUMBER 49
Enrolled Last Fall With Her Son —Has Been President of Women's Federation of Clubs.
The desire for higher education has led at least one club woman of Kansas to enter the University, Mrs. Eustace H. Brown of Olathe is one who has listened to the call of the higher arts. Last September, together with her son Marley, she entered the School of Law. Her son is a student in the College. At present Mrs. Brown is enrolled as a special in the College, as her health will not permit her to take the required number of hours. However, next September she intends to enroll as a regular student in the School of Law.
Mrs. Brown has been president of the Kansas Federation of Women's clubs. During her administration a scholarship was founded for girls who seek higher education. It is known as the Scholarship Loan Fund. As a result one girl was enabled to enter the University. Now there are two girls in this institution deriving the benefits of this scholarship. There is now $1,000 in the treasury of the Federation of Woman's clubs for such purposes. Also during her administration resolutions were passed, endorsing the urgent need of dormitories for girls at the state University.
Before entering school here she was much prejudiced against the institution as she had heard of the various acts committed by the different societies that were allowed to exist, but since arrival she has become convinced that it is the best place in the state for young people.
When asked today what impressed her most, she replied, "The students, of course. I was most sincerely impressed by the look of determination upon the faces of the multitude of blossoming young manhood and womanhood that ascend Mt. Oread every day to drink of the fountain of knowledge. When attending chapel this year, I made a study of the students, observing closely their moods and outbursts of feeling."
TITCHENOR WILL SPEAK.
Celebrated Kansas Day.
Sixteen Kansas students attending the Crescent College and Conservatory at Eureka Springs, Ark., celebrated the admission of their home state into the Union by giving a dance last Saturday evening. The Jayhawkers wore red and blue ribbon on their sleeves and decorated their hall with the Kansas colors during the evening.
Some Things the Noted Psychologist Has Done.
The committee on University lectures has been fortunate enough to secure Professor E. B. Titchenor of Cornell University, New York, for two lectures, February 16th and 17th, at 4:30 p.m., in the chapel.
Professor Titheenor is indisputably the dean of American experimental psychologists, Sage graduate professor of psychology and director of one of the most productive and aggressive psychological laboratories of the world. Professor Titheenor is an Englishman, but a typical Wundtian in training and in research methods. Aside from numerous monographs on technical subjects of psycho-physics and psychometry, he is the author of a Primer of Psychology, Outlines of Psychology, Text-Book on Psychology (two volumes), the most extensive and comprehensive two volume Manual of Experimental Psychology of Feeling and Attention, Experimental Psychology of the Thought Processes, and is the translator of Wundt's five volume Physiologische Psychologie (sixth edition) He has recently delivered a series of lectures on psychology at the University of Illinois, and another series at Columbia University, New York each of which series now constitutes an important book for psychologists. He is a member of various scientific and honorary societies both in America and Europe, and was this year Lowell lecturer in Boston, and is now or a lecture tour of the Western Universities of Iowa, Minnesota Nebraska and Kansas. Aside from being a constructive thinker and great investigator, Dr. Titheenor is gifted as a vigorous exposition of sound psychological doctrine. He will be the guest of Dr. Charles Hughes Johnston, Dean of the School of Education, during his four days' visit to Lawrence.
A. R. Young, '05, Is City Engineer at Topeka.
GETS GOOD POSITION.
A. R. Young, who graduated from the School of Engineering in 1905, and since that time has been city engineer at Chanute, was last week appointed to a like position in Topeka. For the past three years Mr. Young has had charge of the waterworks plant in Chanute, besides being city engineer. He has carried on some extensive experimental work in the location of the ground water along the valley of the Neosho river, and his data is accepted as authentic on that subject.
The position which Mr. Young has received is one of the best in the state, paying $2,000 per year.
OUTLOOK GOOD FOR UNIVERSITY BILL
COMMITTEE CONSIDERED K. U.'S NEEDS LAST NIGHT.
Sentiment Reported Favorable to Entire Budget With Exception of Girls' Dormitory.
Following the hearing which was given the University appropriations before a joint session of the ways and means committees of the house and senate last night, it was reported in Topeka today that the University budget probably would be granted as requested by the Board of Regents, with the exception of the Women's dormitory, for which it is likely no appropriation will be made. The feeling toward the University in the legislature is entirely friendly, and the claims which the representatives of the institution set before the session of the committees last night made a good impression.
It is the plan of the legislators to grant a night session to each of the state educational institutions until all have been heard. The appropriation bills for their support will then be prepared. The bills probably will come before the legislature for consideration some time next week.
At the session last night it was decided to defer consideration of the School of Medicine until some evening next week. A number of physicians were present at the hearing, expecting a discussion of the plans for that school.
CLUBS FAVOR DORMITORY
Kansas Federation Using Influence at Topeka.
The Kansas Federation of Women's clubs has appointed delegates to appear before the ways and means committees of the legislature in behalf of a women's dormitory for the University. Each of the members of the federation has passed resolutions asking that the legislature make an appropriation for a dormitory.
Mrs. George J. Barker of Lawrence is one of the delegates to Topeka.
Chancellor Strong and the other members of the University faculty spent several hours before the committees of the house and senate. The legislators inquired carefully into the particular items of the budget, requiring explanations in considerable detail.
The representatives of the University at the conference were Regent J. W. Gleed, Chancellor Strong, Secretary E. E. Brown, Prof. R. R. Price, and Prof. M. T. Sudler.
The Griffith club will give a dance in I. O. O.F. hall Saturday evening.
READY FOR TENNIS WORK.
Men Will Hold Preliminary Try outs in the Gym.
The indoor tennis practice and preliminary work for the coming tennis tournament in the gymnasium will begin this week. Dr. Naismith has set aside the following hours for the squad. Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.; and Thursdays from 9 to 3:30.
JANUARY WEATHER MILD.
All who expect to try for places on the team this year are asked to enter their names for assignments on the indoor schedule. The spring season is too short to hold outdoor tournaments to determine the personnel of the team. The six or eight men who make the best records in the gymnasium practises will be included in the regular varsity squad.
Twenty men have already entered their names. If there are others who wish to play they are asked to notify at once Howard Richardson, chairman of the schedule committee.
Seismograph Broke the Only Record of the Month.
According to the University of Kansas weather report January of 1911 was noteworthy for its high mean temperature, small rainfall and great cloudiness, but no one of the means for the month established a new record. The mean temperature, 32.01 degree, has been exceeded ten times, notably by that of January, 1880, which was 41.23.
The heaviest earthquake yet recorded by the University seismograph was on the afternoon and evening of January 3, the disturbances lasting about two and a half hours. This was the violent earthquake that occurred in Russia Turkestan. No other quakes were recorded during the month.
The Registrar Has Received Some of the Term Grades.
QUIZ WEEK NEARLY OVER.
Quiz week is dragging its weary length along. Probably the worst is now over, though there are some students who say they have as many as four or five quizzes awaiting them tomorrow.
Chester Farnsworth, a junior in College, spent Thursday in Topeka seeing the legislature in action.
The term grades are being turned in to the Registrar's office by some of the more energetic professors. According to the rules all grades are due to reach the Registrar by Saturday noon. Registrar Foster, mindful of the way things have gone in previous years, says he does not expect to have all the grades turned in before the end of next week.
CORNHUSKER GAME ON M'COOK FIELD?
ATHLETIC BOARD TO DECIDE DEFINITELY TODAY.
Nebraska Has Asked for Change That the Schedule May Be Lightened.
The athletic board met at 4:30 this afternoon to consider altering the tentative football schedule so as to play the Nebraska game on McCook field next year, instead of at Lincoln as was originally planned.
Manager Lansdon received a letter today from Manager Eager of Nebraska asking that the place of the game be changed to Kansas. Nebraska was unable to give Kansas a date a week earlier than was originally scheduled, and the Michigan management objected to having the Kansas game played in Lincoln a week ahead of the Michigan game.
Manager Lansdon said today that the request of Nebraska probably would be acceded to, as the change will bring one of the big games to McCook for the 1911 season.
TRACK TRYOUT S
DAY.
And a Handicap Meet Is Scheduled for Next Week.
All track men who expect to try out for the Baker and Missouri indoor meets are requested to report at the gymnasium as soon as possible for practice. The try-out for the team that will contest with Baker will be held Saturday afternoon. Plans are that the first of next week a handicap will be held with the Lawrence high school team and on Monday, February 13, the men will meet Baker.
All men who expect to enter the tryouts for the Missouri indoor meet at Kansas City should also enter these contests.
Dean Skilton Still Ill.
Dean Charles S. Skilton of the School of Music is improving very slowly. He will not be out, however, for a month. He was taken sick five weeks ago with pneumonia. Mr.C.A.Preyer, professor of the piano, is acting as head of the school.
Prof. Bailey Is Honored.
Prof. E. H. S. Bailey of the University of Kansas has been elected a member of the Sectional Committee of Bromatology of the Eighth International Congress of Appliled Chemistry that is to be held in Washington, D.C., in 1912.

TWO-EDGED.
If, dear reader, you have been troubled this week with regretful recollection of things written in quiz books—things which now seem to you totally inadequate in view of what might have been there inscribed—cheer up. You do not suffer alone.
A faculty member paced up and down a corridor in Fraser hall yesterday, in evident disquietude. "I feel guilty," he confided to a passerby. "I have been reading the examination papers of some of my students. The papers show a lack of comprehension of the subject which I did not suspect in any of my students, and contain errors which were never made in class and which I should have made all haste to correct if they had been made. I wonder how far I am responsible for those examination papers."
So, gentle reader, if you have humiliated yourself by revealing your ignorance to your instructor, he may be secretly sharing your humiliation. The quiz is a two-edged weapon, and while the
casualties seem to be all on one side, there may be many a hidden wound on the other.
RESPONSIBILITY.
The students of the University have a capacity for handling their affairs which has never been developed. The present opportunity to take an active part in the management of college athletics, in whatever way, should be embraced eagerly, not shrunk from as an unwelcome burden. What is needed is an honest facing of issues. Heretofore the faculty has managed sports. The faculty has made of athletics a clean and credible college activity. The students, it must be said, have permitted it to appear that their interest in sports has been on a lower plane. They have allowed a policy of evasion of rules and indifference to the improvement of sport to parade as student sentiment. The time is at hand when the real student sentiment must be made known, exactly as it is. Inter-collegiate sports may stand or fall as the result of the revelations that are forthcoming.
The present time is often spoken of as the era of the college map in large affairs. This is true because it is the era of the trained man and the college is the place where training for useful service may be gained. The college man who hopes to take an important part in affairs can best prepare by taking advantage of the peculiar opportunities which the school offers.
Of the making of dates there is no end. The compact which the class of 1911 has entered into to return to commencement in 1916 carries date-making about as far into the future as it has gone. The spirit which prompted it will insure a goodly representation of 1911 people at every commencement festival.
We will not know whether or not the backbone of winter is really broken until the advance agents of prosperity appear on the campus, dazzling the minds of University men with promises of sudden wealth in return for a few weeks' easy work next summer
"The daily practice of immortality is the habit of stopping to think of your fellow men as immortal spirits. It is this which has its effect on the character of the man," says E. I. Bosworth, dean of Oberlin College. "This spirit is the promise of the commonplace and characteristic in immortality. The effect of such thinking on a man's character is to make him a truer friend, and make him have a higher estimate of those with whom he comes in contact, and take more pains with his friendships."
The Thoughts of Others.
Miss Elma Ulm of Lawrence, a former student of the University, who has been attending school in Washington, D. C., has taken a position as teacher in an Indian institute in North Carolina.

BY O. H. LOVEJOY.
[A poem by Eugene F. Ware in the Topeka Capital, dealing with the existences, suggested to a University rhymester the following parody.]
Half a million Kansas blizzards
Hait a million Kansas blizzards
Have congealed their cheerless giz
Have congealed their cheerless giz zards,
Since I serenaded Alice
In her lofty pine-tree palace
On a bluff beside the ocean,
While below in wild commotion,
Stood my rivals 'mid the corals,
Screaming forth their frenzied mal ice.
Filled with many a hairy brother,
Each one scrapping with another,
Were the branches round the palace
Held by sturdy brown defenders;
And the rivals far beneath her
Saw my sinewed arms ensheath her,
Saw our lips with kisses mingle,
In the sunset's dying splendors.
From the top-most leafy turret,
I lose of time can never blit it.
Shied we at the vanquished suitors Pine cones from the breezy casement.
Hearts wiht gleeful malice leaping;
Gazed we on their baffled weeping,
As the smitten, sloping foreheads,
Felt the sting of their debasement.
Soon a soaring pterodactyl,
With its claws so strong and tractile,
Chased the rash, rejected lovers
To the tall grass with its charges;
Then we caught a three-toed pony,
Hopped upon its haunches bony,
And his twelve hoofs crunched the sea shells;
Bore us o'er the ocean's marges.
In a far, secluded region,
Guadalupe.
In a far, secluded region,
Guarded by a monkey legion,
'Mid the branches of a fern tree,
Builted we another palace.
Soon above the breezes' sighing,
Rose the note of infant crying,
And at night I walked the branches
To the rhythmic snores of Alice.
Well, I lost my life while "hooking"
Dinosaur, my wife was cooking;
For she hit me twixt the eyebrows
With an infant alligator.
Where my hungry horde was crying.
And, as it to me was useless,
I obtained another later.
There my body soon was frying,
Twenty lives I lived with Alice,
And I never bore her malice
For the "basting" that she gave me
When I sought to force her larder.
Then, through countless generations,
Pressed between the rock formations,
Dreamt I happy dreams of Alice,
And the old Carbonic ardor.
Very little do you tax me,
When you turn to me and ask me,
"Where is Alice now, please tell us,
Why, we never see you with her?"
Long ago aweary grew she,
That my number always drew she,
So she got a change of venue,
Neer again to venture hither.

LIBRARY "BUGS"
ARE MOSTLY MEN
A STUDENT PROVES IT BY STATISTICS.
Says Men Are Interested In World News, While Women Read the Home Papers.
More men students than women take advantage of the reading rooms of Spooner library according to statistics kept by a College student who had his curiosity aroused on the subject early in the term. The following is an account of his investigation as he gives it:
"My work this year has been of such a nature," says the student, "as to keep me in close touch with the library, and through sheer curiosity I have taken the 'census' of the three principal rooms of the library at haphazard times almost every day since last September. Now I have enough figures to make reliable averages and the results which I have obtained from them are in some cases quite surprising. I find that the average number of women students to be found in the entire library at all times is 38, the average number of men 45. The largest number of students I have ever found in the library was just 150, of which number 67 were women and 83 were men. This was on Monday morning, October 10. Perhaps the St. Mary's football game on the previous Saturday had something to do with this by keeping the students from getting their Monday lessons on that Saturday. Yet there is always a larger number of students in the library on Monday mornings than at any other time, the average being 55 women and 64 men.
"The smallest number I found in the library at any one time was 12, on the evening of Saturday, October 29, the day of the Washburn football game. Of this number four were women and eight were men."
"Taking first the main reading room of the library, there is an average of 27 women and 17 men in this room all the time. The women noticeably predominate on the north side of the room and the men on the south side. This peculiarity is perhaps due chiefly to the location of the halls where wraps are left when entering the library. At night the numbers drop off to 18 women and 13 men in this room.
"Friday evenings, Saturdays, and Monday mornings show the only notable variations in the numbers, not only in the main room, but in all the rooms. The averages show that very few are to be found in the library on Friday nights, a large number on Saturday mornings, an average number on Saturday afternoons, and a small number on Saturday nights, although the last number has steadily increased since the beginning of the term.
"On Friday nights the average number of women in the main reading room is five, the average number of men is ten. On Saturday forenmoons the numbers are respectively 20 and 11; on Saturday evenings three and four; and on Monday mornings 35 and 31. Thus it is seen that there are usually more women than men in the main reading room, but in the other two rooms the men more than balance this difference.
"In the reading room upstairs are to be found usually more
men than women. The averages for this room at all times are 14 women and 19 men. On Friday evenings there are five women and 17 men; on Saturday mornings the figures stand 18 and 24 respectively; on Saturday nights one and seven, and on Monday mornings 16 to 24.
"Finally, in the newspaper reading room the men are invariably in the majority. The average numbers to be found in this room are one woman and five men. At night the average is two women and no women. On Friday evenings the average is no women and three men; on Saturday mornings two women and four men; on Saturday evenings no women and one man; and on Mondays four women and nine men.
"As these figures would tend to show, the men seem to be more interested in newspapers than the women. The men are usually to be found reading the general world news in the big city dailies, the women frequent the newspaper room only on Saturdays and Mondays when the local papers from home arrive. Another factor, however, may enter into the showing of the figures,—that is that the men are drawn into the newspaper room more than the women because of their hat-room being on the south side and leading directly into it."
THOSE PRACTICAL JOKES.
This Unfeeling Trick Was Perpetrated at a Boarding House.
Life is not grapes nor even velvet in a Lawrence boarding house Personal feelings receive as much consideration as a large hat in a nickelodeon, and practical jokes of which the following is a sample, run wild Get out your tear mop, agitate your sympathy gland and listen.
Henry Bing was just going to bed. Time, 4 a.m. And as the forthecoming morning was Saturday, he decided to sleep through a few rounds of the hour-hand, after daylight. Accordingly he wrote the following note, which he pinned on the outside of his door:
Henry slept for a while the next morning—just a little while. After he had been waked up ten times, by ten different fellows with the same old question of "Where are they?" "Come through with the weeds," Henry's angry passions arose to such . . point that he forced himself from under the covers and rushed over to the door where his sign hung. There he read:
"Please don't disturb; want to sleep."-Hank."
"Just received a box of cigars from father. Come in and see me."—Hank."

HARDEST GAME OF THE SEASON
HAMILTON'S OPINION OF CONTEST WITH K. C. A. C.
But the Coach Believes Kansas Will Win by Tiring Their Opponents.
What promises to be one of the hardest games that the Kansas basketball five will play this year is that with the K. C. A. C. team in Robinson gymnasium next Saturday evening. Some of the best players in the Missouri Valley, who are not in school, compose this team and a very fast and close game is expected.
Coach W. O. Hamilton went to Kansas City last night to see the contest between the K. C. A. C. and Bethany College and he says that there is little doubt in his mind, but that the Kansas team will nose out ahead.
"I look for fast playing and it will be the endurance of the K. U. five that will win," he declared. "Our opponents used twelve men in the game against Bethany last night in their efforts to replace their lack of wind. They have three brilliant goal-shooters on their team in Goldman, Terte, and Elliot, but I believe our guards will be able to keep those men covered well enough to prevent them from scoring above the average. Our men are now in fine condition and I expect them to wear the K. C. A. c. men out after the first half.
"The game between the Kansas College and Bethany Friday night promises to be a close contest, for the Bethany team has several good players, although they do not play team work."
As a curtain raiser to the game Saturday night the Lawrence high school will play the Kansas City Kan., high school.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1911
TO MANHATTAN TO TEACH JOURNALISM
MISS SADIE MOSSLER HAS POSITION AT K. S. A. C.
1s Known to Many Students Through Her Newspaper Comments on University Affairs.
Miss Sadie Mossler, who is well known to many University students through her work on the Lawrence Journal, will give up her position as city editor of that paper to accept a better place. The Regents of the Kansas State Agricultural College have decided to enlarge the course in journalism in that school and have asked Mis sMossler to become an assistant professor in the department. Miss Mossler will take up her duties at Manhattan in about a week.
Miss Mossler has been city editor of the Lawrence Journal for three years. She began her work as society reporter, and the department of society gossip "by the S.R.," in the Journal has been exclusively her work. Her humorous and satirical comments on student affairs have caused many University people to read the "S.R.'s" column with interest. Many of Miss Mossler's opinions were put into the mouth of "the little lad who hang around the S.R.'s desk."
The department of industrial journalism was created at the Agricultural College last fall.Charles Dillon, formerly of the staff of the Kansas City Star, is at the head of the department.
Chancellor Strong and Professor Cady go to "Strokm Jemt."
REST AFTER QUIZZES
Chancellor Frank Strong and Professor H. P. Cady are spending today and tomorrow at "Strokem Jotem on the Kaw," for a rest and relaxation after the strenuous days of quiz week. "Strokem Jotem" is the lodge that these two men with Professors Olin Templin and Johnson built at Cameron's bluff this winter and it is serving its purpose very well in furnishing an asylum for the members of the faculty.
Griffin Scholarship Awarded.
Homer Hoyt, a sophomore in the College, was awarded the Charles S. Griffin memorial scholarship. It carries with it a fund of fifty dollars and was open to any boy in the sophomore class who can use the sum properly in paying his expenses.
The members of the awarding committee were professors B. J. Dalton, S. J. Hunter and M. W. Sterling.
Paul Harvey a Professor.
Paul Harvey, who was graduated from the College last year, has become instructor in English at Alma. E. B. Gift, who received his master's degree in 1908, is the superintendent of the schools. Harvey was editor-in-chief of The Kansan last year.
Professor Dunlap went to Fort Scott this morning to deliver two lectures before the Teachers' meeting at that place.
JUDGE PHILIPS WILL SPEAK
The Ex-Federal Judge Will Ad dress University Students.
Hon. John F. Phillips, ex-federal judge of the western district of Missouri, will speak in the lecture room of Green hall, Friday morning after chapel. His subject will be "The Federal Judiciary" and will be for the law students, but all those who desire may come. The speech will not be technical in nature and will be interesting to the public. The University is very fortunate in securing Judge Phillips, because he seldom makes speaking dates and this will be his first trip to Lawrence. Professor Higgins of the School of Law who secured him has practised before the judge and thinks he is one of the most eloquent speakers in the middle west. He also has a new pleasing person city.
Mr. Philips is a graduate of Central College of Kentuey, and in the Civil war served on the Union side. Afterwards he settled in Missouri and practised law till he became a member of the state supreme court. From there he was appointed a federal judge and resigned only last year
WILL TEACH BOTANY.
Miss Grace Charles Will Take Prof. Agrelius' Place.
Miss Grace M. Charles of Chicago has arrived at the University to take the place in the faculty made vacant by the resignation of Prof. Frank U. G. Agrellius, who has accepted a position in the State Normal. She will conduct the teachers' course in botany and instruct in Botany 1 during the spring semester.
Miss Charles received a doctor's degree from the University of Chicago last September and is a teacher of experience, having taught in the University of Wyoming as well as in high schools. She has also carried on special work and will have published in the March number of the Botanical Gazette a research paper on the Marattia, which are subtropical tree ferns.
Short Bible Courses Offered.
Roy Dietrich, chairman of the Y. M. C. A. Bible study committee, is completing plans for the Bible courses to be offered during the spring semester. Special emphasis will be placed upon the small group classes which will carry on short courses. The canvas for members will be begun by the men of this committee next week.
Glee Club at Haskell.
Will Speak at Baptist Church.
C. J. Galpin of the University of Wisconsin will deliver the fourth of a series of Sunday night lectures at the Baptist church of Lawrence tomorrow evening. The talk will be especially for students. The subject will be "Enthusiasm in Ordinary Life."
The Glee club will give a concert at Haskell Monday evening at 8 o'clock. The program will be practically the same as was given in the chapel some time ago.
COLLEGE TEAM WINS FROM BETHANY FIVE
"SWEDES" BEATEN IN A SLOW GAME YESTERDAY.
By a Narrow Score the Second Team Wins Its First Basket-Ball Game.
The first game on the schedule of the College basket-ball team played in Robinson gymnasium last night resulted in a defeat for Bethany College, the visiting team, by a score of 25 to 23. The outcome of the contest was in doubt until the last moment of play, when Nesbitt threw the winning field goal for the College five.
The Bethany "Swedes" scored the first point on a foul and from that time maintained a lead of one or two points until the middle of the first half, when the Kansas team took the lead by a spurt of playing that was the only really fast basket ball played during the entire game. This lead was kept until the score was tied in the latter part of the second half and until the end of the game it was a question as to which team would win. The score at the end of the first half was 16 to 10 in favor of the College team.
The contest was fast and clever at times, but the men could not maintain their fast pace for the entire session. The absence of roughness was the feature of the evening. Numerous fouls were called, but most of them were technical.
Tonight the varsity squad meets the fast K. C. A. C. squad, after a preliminary between the Kansas City, Kan., high school five and the Lawrence high school five.

ON SOCIAL PROBLEMS
Secretary of New Board in Kansas City Tells of His Work.
L. A. Halbert, secretary of the Board of Public Welfare of Kansas City, Mo., spoke at the regular Y. M. C. A. meeting in Myers hall Thursday evening on "Public Charities." Mr. Halbert said, "The taking care of the poor and needy of the cities is the greatest problem the modern city has to face and it has been found that it can be solved only by the establishing of a board of public welfare which could devote its entire time to the furtherance of such ends."
In order to understand the work done by the board it is essential to know something of its composition. The field of activity covered by the board can be divided into three classes namely correctional, charitable, and general elfare. The work of the correctional department is divided into three heads, the workhouse being placed first, as it is the place where the vagrant husbands and fathers and the lazy young men and women go to work out fines. Those who can not be classed as being criminal and utterly worthless, are sent to the municipal farm where plots are allotted to the different prisoners for cultivation. The bureau of correction follows, since it keeps a record o all the convictions in the city in order that the board may know the criminal record thoroughly and study the habitats of crime.
The largest field is that of charity. It is divided into three departments, lodging house, constructive work for the destitute, and the charities registration bureau. There is only one place in the city where board and lodging can be had at low prices and that is at the lodging house. The people who frequent these places are the poor and destitute and those out of work. In order to prevent duplication of charity to one family, a charities registration bureau was established. It is the work of this bureau to keep a record of the aid given to each family and to act as a confidential employment and information bureau. In this way all the cases of charity can be attended in a systematic manner, thus establishing a unified policy for the improving of conditions of the needy and distressed.
The third and last class is the department of general welfare. Three departments are included in this, the free legal aid bureau, employment bureau, house inspection, and dance inspection. To protect the weak and ignorant laborers from the encroachments of the avaricious employer a free legal aid bureau was established. Many young attorneys for Kansas City offer their services free of charge to the bureau. Also an employment bureau is maintained and over 2175 jobs were secured for men during the month of October. House and dance inspection are also carried on, inspectors being employed in each case to root out the evils in their respective departments.
Gilbert A. Bragg, a junior engineer, was called to his home in St. Joseph, Mo., Friday evening by the death of his grandmother.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT FROM CHEMICALS
AN EXPLOSION ENDANGERS
EYES OF EDITH BABB.
Presence of Mind and Prompt Action of Robert Davis Saves Student From Acid Burns
Another explosion in the chemistry building yesterday afternoon would have resulted in the loss of the eyesight of Miss Edith Babb, a junior in the College, but for the presence of mind of Robert Davis, who works in the same class.
Miss Babb was cleaning apparatus in the laboratory room for Chemistry I.preparatory to checking in at the close of the term. She made a solution of acid with which to cleanse the apparatus and after placing the solution in a flask corked it securely and then inadvertently shook the flask. The reaction of the acids was stronger than the flask could bear and the resulting explosion filled Miss Babb's eyes with the acid. She immediately cried out that her eyes were burned and ran for the door to seek the aid of Miss Hedger on the lower floor of the building.
Upon hearing her cry of pain, Robert Davis, a freshman in the College, from Kansas City, Kan., ran to Miss Babb and by the arm, hurried her to the water faucet where he dashed water in her face and forcing her eyes open thoroughly washes the acid from the lids. The power of the acid was shown on both Miss Babb's and Mr. Davis' hands, which were severely burned.
Professors H. P. Cady and Forence Hedger said, in speaking of the accident afterward, that the quick and thoughtful action of Mr. Davis at the time of the accident was the only thing that possibly could have saved Miss labb's eyes.
As it is, the most painful injury that resulted from the explosion is the burn upon Miss Babb's hands.

If mothers would come to the University with their children, the cases of "sore eyes,""job in the bank," and others now so prevalent probably would be greatly decreased.
A report on the number of students to be found in the library places it at an average of eighteen women and thirteen men. We are curious to know where the other five men keep themselves. Probably they attend engineering meetings until the library closes.
It would seem to be to the interest of the University public to accede to the request Nebraska has made to play the Kansas-Nebraska game on McCook field next year. If it is true that the contest between Kansas and Missouri will go to Columbia next fall, such an arrangement would secure just the alternation of big games on McCook field that is most desirable.
At last the week of extreme nervousness is over. Our work is now history—in the Registrar's office. We guess there will be more studying at the opening of the new term than there was at the opening of the one just ended. Object lessons in what

Present statistics show that there is a wonderful increase in the number of people who depend on Glasses for good vision. Take enlightened Boston, "The Hub," for instance. There are more people wearing Spees there than in any other city of its size. Where learning and progress are, you will find the most people wearing Glasses.

happens to those who don't are so fresh in the minds of students that they will contribute to this result. "Never let your studies interfere with your education," says a fake proverb. Numerous students have taken a term to discover that it's an expensive education and one not exactly desirable that is acquired at the expense of neglecting one's studies.
"Millions for hogs, but not one cent for humans" would make a good slogan for those who are opposing the expansion of the School of Medicine to keep pace with the growing needs of the state of Kansas. The state spends liberally for the investigation and cure of the diseases to which porcine flesh is heir. The appropriation for hog cholera serum will go through unquestioned. The state rightly figures that money which will promote the health of live stock is well invested. It pays. It is surprising that there are people who do not realize that the human inhabitants are, even commercially speaking, worth more than any form of life on which a dollars and cents valuation is placed. An appropriation which will promote the health and well-being of the people of a state is a good commercial investment for that state, if the discussion must be narrowed down to considerations for commercial advantage.
Everybody Will Wear Specs Some Day
If You Don't Need 'Em Gastafson We Tell You.
Bad Scholars, and Why.
From Life, New York. The private boarding schools for boys, St.Peul's, St.Marks, Groton and the like, are accused
The College Jeweler
of turning out bad scholars. The charge, which is not new, is based on the lists of the Harvard undergraduates who come to notice, either at graduation or before, as scholarsts of distinction. In December the names of 178 first and second group scholars were announced by the Harvard authorities. To this number, the private schools, St. Paul's, St. Mark's, Groton, Middlesex, Milton, Pomfret and St. George's, which certainly must contribute at least one-tenth of the total number of Harvard undergraduates, contributed only seven persons. To meet reasonable expectations, they should have shown twice or three times that number. The explanation is that the general run of boys from these schools who go to Harvard don't care for distinction in scholarship and don't go in for it, but put in their best energies on sports and social competitions. They think, and their friends, and as a rule their parents also, that in so doing they follow the course most profitable to them.
Six years ago President Eliot disclosed that the best Harvard scholars come from the public schools; that out of 172 men who got their A.B.'s with distinction in 1903, 84 came from the public schools, 44 from academies, and 32 from private schools. As to these figures, it may doubtless be said that the public schools send only their best scholars to college, whereas the academies and private schools send nearly all their boys there. If the high school boys who go to Harvard and the private school boys are not, that makes a difference. The instruction given in the private schools, is, presumably at least, as good as that given in the high schools and probably better. Probably the figures fail to tell the whole story; nevertheless the private school boys don't show up as
well in scholarship as they should. Why not? Aren't they capable enough?
Yes, they include due proportion of boys with good families What ails them, then?
What ails them seems to be distraction of purpose. Most of them, when they get to college, try to do two things—appease the authorities by doing what work is necessary and gratify themselves by vindicating or establishing (please don't laugh) their social position. Scholarship does not do their social position one spark of good, and the attention to studies which is necessary to attain distinction in scholarship can only be bestowed at some sacrifice of time and energy that might profitably be devoted to the acquisition of social eminence. The young gentlemen try for the line of goods that is most in request in their world. The authorities try to persuade them that their estimate of value is mistaken, and that they try for the wrong thing. But they try for what they discover to be the most esteemed in their world, for what they value, for what all the girls they know value, for what their friends and parents value, and for what, as they see it, is scarcer and harder to get than scholarship, and more remunerative after they get it.
The boys from the private schools are more exposed to this distracted competition than the boys from the high schools, because they have more money and come out of a social layer where associations that look advantageous are prized and more attainable. Their job, besides learning something out of books or at lectures, is to keep in the social plane in which they start, or break into a better one.
That is a matter that requires much thought and some industry, and that is what is the matter with their scholarship.

REGISTRATION TO BE COMFORTABLE
CHANGES IN SYSTEM FOR NEXT YEAR.
Students May Be Spared Necessity of Standing in Line, but Closed Classes Unavoidable.
In discussing the enrollment for the second semester, Prof. L. E. Sisson said today that the article headed "Some Suggestions Concerning Enrollment" in the issue of The Kansan for January 26, is very fair. He says that the faculty contemplates making several improvements in the system next year
As it is now it is impossible to enroll all the students in one day. Next year more advisors will be provided, probably six instead of three for each of the four classes. The students will assemble upstairs in the gymnasium and be provided with seats. Their order of enrollment has not yet been worked out. An attempt will be made to obviate the necessity of standing for hours in long lines. The students might be numbered as they came and given a definite hour when they should return to enroll.
The trouble of closed classes cannot be remedied so easily, said Professor Sisson. The great competition for certain classes has only been felt the last few years on account of the increased number of students. This situation can be relieved only by legislative appropriation which cannot be expected for two years yet. Other large universities, as a rule, have a fund which they can use for the engaging of new teachers as the need for more classes is felt. When the University succeeds in getting a similar fund from the state, the courses will be open to all.
Tested Natural Gas.
The report of the tests of natural gas by the chemistry department have been made public. The local consumers of the gas complained of the exorbitant bills that were turned in to them every month and so an investigation was made. The analysis was carried on in the laboratories by Prof H.C.Allen, and it shows the presence of 95.7 per cent of marsh gas,the combustible material in the gas,and .21 per cent of oxygen,the air constituency in the gas.
Will Enter Michigan.
Fred B. Fonlk, of Wichita, a sophomore in the College, and a member of The Kansan staff, has withdrawn from the University and will enter the University of Michigan at the beginning of the second semester, which opens February 13.

GOT RARE SPECIMEN
University Profits by Losses of Kansas City Animal Show.
Mr. H. T. Martin, of the department of paleontology, while in Kansas City yesterday, had the good fortune to secure for the museum a rare specimen of rodent from Mr. Edwards' animal show, now located at 12th and Baltimore. This animal is the Agouti, a native of South America, and is one rarely found alive in traveling collections. Mr. Edwards' animal exhibit, however, is unique in this respect, as it contains many odd and unusual specimens, seldom found in captivity. Many losses occur owing to the rapid climatic changes. Mr. Martin made arrangements with Mr. Edwards to ship any of the animals which die to the museum, where they will be used in the comparative studies carried on at the University.

The food laboratory has recently acquired an apparatus to be used in a high speed centrifuge, which the University already possesses in the drug laboratory. The presence of this apparatus will make the centrifuge available for certain uses to which the food laboratory can put it, which will greatly expedite special lines of work. This machine is used for the purpose of very quickly and completely separating solid matter of a light floculent nature from liquids of all kinds.

FROM OTHER COLLEGES
Kansas is the greatest college state. One out of every 122 residents of Kansas is in college; Iowa is next with one out of every 171; then comes Illinois, Ohio New York, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.
It has been estimated that the students at Michigan State University during the last year used 132,210 cigars, 33,180 boxes of cigarettes, 52,000 packages of smoking tobacco and 6,850 plugs of chewing tobacco. They also used 57,400 packages of gum and 100,000 bars of chocolate.
Chicago's student council recently abolished the freshman toque and substituted therefor an official freshman cap. The order has been strongly resisted on the part of the first year men on the ground that many of the self-supporting members of the class would suffer hardship in destroying a useful article of wearing apparel.
A new and novel system of inter-society debates has been inaugurated at Upper Iowa. Hereafter the question is to be submitted eleven months in advance, but the sides will not be chosen until the night of the debate, when the teams will decide by lot which side they will uphold. The idea is to produce ready extemporaneous speakers.
A novel course is found at Indiana, the like of which probably does not exist in any American university. The purpose of the course is to make the members of the classes familiar with the broader principles of conservation. According to the announcement of the professor in charge, it is a study of conservation from a scientific standpoint.
The team that will represent the United States at the Fifth Olympic games at Stockholm, will, of course, have its expenses paid by the Olympic Committee, as usual, and the committee to ask for contributions for the record as favoring the project and contributing, is the Amateur Athletic Union. President Everett C. Brown of Chicago has notified Secretary James E. Sullivan to take a mail vote of the board of governors authorizing that the sum of $1,000 be contributed by the Amateur Athletic Union to the treasurer of the Olympic Committee to start the fund that is to be raised to send the team of 1912. This proposition was presented to President Brown by the New York members of the A. A. U., who felt that the Amateur Athletic Union should take the lead.

AT LAST FOOTBALL IS A SAFE GAME
INTERCOLLEGIATE RULES COMMITTEE DECIDES.
However, the Committee Couldn't Refrain From Making a Few Changes in the Rules.
New York, Feb. 4.—The intercollegiate football rules committee did a little more surgery on the game at a meeting in New York yesterday.
With E. K. Hall, of Dartmouth, as chairman, and Walter Camp as secretary, the committee decided intermissions were too long and reduced the periods between the first and second and the third and fourth quarters from three minutes to two minutes. A new rule was adopted permitting teams by agreement to transfer the supervision of offside play upon the line of scrimmage from umpire to head linesman. The linesman, however, is to report any infraction to the umpire.
Another new rule provides that throwing a player to the ground after the referee has declared the ball dead may be considered unnecessary roughness. An amendment was adopted allowing only three men to walk up and down the field on each side of the line. The present rule allows five. If the ball accidentally strikes an official, provides another amendment, it shall not become dead, but play shall continue.
A new rule adopted specifies that all penalties under the rule regulating the forward pass shall be applied from the spot of the down and not on the spot from which the pass was made.
The committee transferred the duty of keeping time from the field judge to the umpire, and in rule 18, section 2, which provides that a player in catching for a pass shall not be tackled or shouldered until he has caught the ball and "taken more than one step in any direction."
After the conference Mr. Han said :
The words "taken more than one step in any direction" were stricken out.
"The reason that the committee made so few changes is that we feel the game has accomplished what the new rules started out to do—the elimination of serious injuries—and that it was now a safe and playable game."
K C A C Elects Athletic Manager.
Manhattan, Kan., Feb. 4.—E. N. Rodell, of the School of Printing of the Agricultural College, was elected general manager of athletics by the athletic association here last week. Mr. Rodell is an alumnus, class of '03. The Aggies do not have a manager to put all of his time on athletics and must draw from the faculty some man who is willing to take the time outside his regular work to manage the athletics of the school.
Chemistry Club to Meet.
At the meeting of the Chemistry club next Wednesday evening at 5 o'clock in room 101 of the Chemistry building, Mr.Ward Tillotson, who holds the Holoplane fellowship in industrial chemistry on glass, will speak on "The Relations between the Physical Properties and the Chemical Composition of Glass."
Chemistry Teachers Spent the Night Grading Books.
WORKED TILL DAWN
Students who went to the basket-ball game last night were surprised to see the chemistry building ablaze with lights. Only those who had taken courses in chemistry the past term knew that the illumination was made necessary by the industry of the faculty members of the department, who spent the night grading quiz books and streaking red ink through note books.
From time to time through the night hurry calls were sent by telephone to students whose books did not meet the requirements. "Come up and correct your note book' 'was the call. The first summons was sent out at 11 o'clock last night and the last at 6 this morning.
The chemistry teachers stayed at their posts all night in order to get the term grades into the Registrar's office by noon today. Registrar Foster said that not more than 40 per cent of the grades of the University had been turned in at noon.
TRACK TRYOUT POSTPONED
Weight Men Are Showing Good Form.
The tryout for the track team which will meet Baker Monday, February 13, has been postponed until Wednesday and Thursday of next week. The reason assigned by the coach for the change, is that most of the men who were to try out at that time have taken advantage of the recess between semesters to go home for a visit.
Coach Hamilton expects to see some new records established at the tryout next week. Earl Ammons will devote himself entirely to the weights and Hamilton expects him to improve over his last year's record. Bower a fresh man in the School of Engineering from Kansas City, who threw the weights last year for Central high school, has come within a few inches of equalling the University record in the shot-put in practice and Coach Hamilton expects him to equal the present record in the try-outs next week.

The Alumni association of the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts is asking the New Hampshire legislature to change the name of their Alma Mater to the "University of New Hampshire."

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1911
THINK AMERICANS HAVE MUCH MONEY
IS GERMANY'S IMPRESSION, SAYS PROF. CORBIN.
Professor Alberta Corbin of the department of German arrived in Lawrence Saturday from her trip abroad, which was begun last spring at the close of the semester. Miss Corbin spent the most of her time in Europe studying at the University of Berlin, but during the summer months she toured England and Southern Germany, and spent several days in Paris.
Member of German Department Relates Incidents of Year Spent Abroad.
In speaking of the advantages of the Universities there, Miss Corbin said, "I went to see most of the classical German plays at the theater of Berlin which is the best in Germany. The musical advantages offered there are excellent. Most of the great artists of the world are heard in America more frequently than in Berlin, but the greatest ones come to Berlin for a few performances, and afterwards tour America, their object being to obtain better salaries than the Germans can afford to give them in that country.
"It is a difficult matter to make the Germans believe that any of the Americans are poor. Germany as a nation gives one the impression of being a comparatively poor country, but they have no extremely poor classes as in England and their provisions for taking care of their poor are unexcelled. They arrange this by a system of pensions which is in charge of the government."
"The lack of money of the German people is nowhere more evident than in the management of the universities and royal libraries. Their cataloguing system is very inefficient, they have no such thing as a card index and their library force is so small that it requires from three to twenty-four hours to get any book that one wishes to use.
NUMBER 51
"The Americans who live in Berlin generally reside together at a women's club or at one of the 'pensions' for Americans. At the women's club there is a library of English books which is used a great deal. There is also an American church which is very well attended. At the Fourth of July celebration held last summer there were 500 Americans present and at the dinner given afterwards there were representatives from almost every state in the Union and also from Alaska Many of the universities of this country were represented by large delegations. There were fifteen people from the University of Kansas."
In speaking of the manner of treatment that tourists receive from the Germans, Miss Corbin said that she had only most pleasant recollections of the trip.
"However, some of the more old fashioned type of Germans speak with disapprobation of the growing predominance of the business and other practical interests under the name of Americanism," she continued. "The
better informed class of Germans do not think that this growth of business interests is due to American influence. The average German does not give us credit for having much idealism."
On her return trip,Miss Corbin visited Yale University, Columbia, Johns Hopkins University and the Woman's College at Baltimore

KANSAS THE VICTOR OVER K.C.A.C. TEAM
GAME SATURDAY EVENING WAS HOTLY CONTESTED.
The Blue Diamonds Started Out Strong, but Weakened as Kansas Gathered Strength.
The contest between two of the best undefeated basket-ball teams in the Missouri Valley resulted in a victory for the Jayhawker five Saturday night in Robinson gymnasium by a score of 37 to 29 when the varsity five met the team of the Kansas City Athletic club. The rival men played like demons the entire forty-minute session to maintain the honor of their record, but the better training of Coach Hamilton's men enabled the Kansas aggregation to nose out at the finish with an eight point lead.
When the referee tossed the ball at center for the first time, the K. C. A. C. men started the game with a vim that promised to win by a large margin. The Kansas five played on the defensive for the first five minutes of the contest and their opponents had scored six points before Heizer put his team in the running by tossing the first goal for the locals. Then the count was quickly evened and toward the last of that half the wearers of the blue diamond allowed the Jayhawkers to gain a six point lead against them.
Every man on the Kansas City team was good on the offensive, but the guards could not keep the Jayhawker goal-shooters covered well enough to prevent their scoring when chances were offered. On the other hand, the Kansas guards had all they could do to keep the Blue Diamond forwards from under the basket and to make them risk shots from the center of the court. Many times the skill and daring of the K. U. forwards would break up the team work of their opponents.
The intermission between halves was of great benefit to the visiting team and they started the second session in much the same way that they played the first. Toward the middle of the half they succeeded in tying the score. Then a free throw would give one side a momentary advantage which would be overcome by a goal from the field by a forward who chanced a shot from a difficult angle. The fast pace set by the Kansas five soon told on the Kansas City men in the last part of the contest, and a brilliant spurt put the K. U. tally far out of reach of the Blue Diamonds.
By springing into the play and snatching the ball from the Blue Diamond who was dribbling toward his goal and using skill in passing the ball, the Kansas forward was nearly always enabled to take his shot at the basket, before the opposing side could touch the round leather. The score at the end of the first half was 20 to 14 in favor of Hamilton's men.
The playing was so fast and hard that several fouls were called by the officials, but the most of them were on technical errors which inevitably proved disastrous to the team that made
them, for Goldman and "Shorty"
Long were "right" when it
come to dropping the ball in the
basket on a free trial. Despite
some of the swift rushes made for
the goals to try a shot, the game
was exceptionally clean of any
rough work.
Goldman was the star player of the visiting team both in handling the ball on the floor and in scoring. Every man on the local squad was playing the game for Kansas. Heizer accepted four difficult chances for goals while Long and Stuckey were also point gatherers. The work of Douseman and Larson in guarding their men will rank them among the best guards of the Valley.
The line-up for the teams was as follows:
K. C. A. C.— G. F.T F.

Consulting Engineer to Discuss the Untechnical Side Thursday.
J. S. Worley, of Kansas City, will speak before the Civil Engineering society Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock in Marvin hall. His subject will be "The Untechnical Side of Engineering," and is principally for the engineers, but all those who desire may come. As the subject shows, it will not be technical, and so will be interesting to the public.
Mr. Worley is of the firm of Worley & Black, consulting engineers. Their chief work is with waterworks and sewage systems, but they are helping build the Kansas, Oklahoma & Texas railroad which Prof. B. J. Dalton,the University railway engineer, is directing. The railroad runs from southern Kansas through Oklahoma and is to be built to the gulf.

"OLD FOOTBALL WAS THE BETTER GAME"
BERT KENNEDY HOLDS TO HIS FORMER OPINION.
New Rules Are Wrong in Spirit,
Contends Ex-Football Mentor
—Rules Committee Selfish.
Bert Kennedy, the former coach of the University football squad, disgusted with the changes in the football rules, which were made by the rules committee in New York last Friday.
"The changes, though none of them are radical, show a wrong tendency in spirit," said Kennedy this morning. "I have always believed that the old game is the best and I still think so. The advocates of the new game say that only fifteen men were killed this year, while twenty-two were killed the year before, and they say that this fact shows improvement. Of course it is an improvement but not radical enough. Unless the rules are changed so that the old style of play is again allowed I believe we will eventually lose football as a college sport."
Kennedy thinks that politics plays too large a part in lawmaking by the committee. He says that the representatives of the big Eastern schools seem to want to change the game so that their teams will make a good showing, and not with a view of improving the sport.
The change back to the 70-minute game is a wise provision, according to the former coach. This change gives the teams more of a chance to win in evenly contested games. The remainder of the changes are minor and unimportant and will not affect the game to any noticeable extent.
"Of course it takes more than one year to thoroughly tryout a radical change, such as was made last year, but I would certainly like to see more of the old football."

OPPORTUNITY.
Because it may affect radically the welfare of college athletics and the future of student self-government, the meeting of the Student Council, called for tonight, promises to be one of the most important ever held by that body. The Council will have to decide either to take an active part in determining the eligibility of athletes, or to adopt a policy of "hands off."
If the Council decides that eligibility is too ticklish a subject for it to handle,the athletic board may conclude that the students are not interested in baseball to the extent of keeping the game clean. That would be bad for baseball. In some of the other colleges of the Valley, faculties have reached a stage of discouragement that has led them to give up the game as hopeless.
To plead that the Council ought not to take up the question of eligibility because the student body is more interested in managing other departments of athletics is not sufficient to free the Council from the responsibility which now rests upon it, however true the statement may be. If the Council takes a definite and progressive stand in the eligibility matter, and shows that the students are unmistakably in favor
of clean athletics, there is no doubt that student participation in affairs now closed to them will follow.
The objectionable rules in baseball have been made solely with the end in view of preventing professionalism. The Athletic Board is interested only in seeing that amateur standing is maintained by athletes. The students should be more anxious than the faculty that their representatives are amateurs. Once it is made clear that the students are really back of the spirit of these rules, the chances are that the letter of the rules can be changed in such a way that they will not bar men who really are amateurs.
If the Student Council takes up a part of the eligibility burden the outlook will be better for College athletics and the future of student government.
JOURNALISM.
Can journalism be taught in schools? A few years ago the answer, in the minds of most people, was an emphatic "no." Gradually, however, the conviction grew that the schools can do something in journalistic training. That this important factor in modern life is one that the schools can not afford to neglect is a conclusion still more recent. That there is work waiting at hand for the schools to do is indicated by the following paragraph from the Springfield Republican:
"It is not flattering to American pride to have our consul general at Rio Janeiro, Julius G. Lay, report that our trade with Brazil is seriously handicapped by the bad reputation of our country. From the United States, he says, Rio hears only news of lynchings, murders, and accidents while the news from Europe is full of scientific, literary and artistic achievements. Therefore, Mr. Lay wants to have organized a news service which will gradually teach South America that this is a civilized and cultured country, or at least that we can't be so bad as all that."
Reports from the home of the Tigers say that plans for a new $40,000 concrete stadium are almost completed and that work on the structure will begin soon. This looks as if Missouri had confidence in the rulings of the Missouri Valley conference. The question now is what is Kansas going to do towards providing suitable grounds for the large athletic contests? If Missouri gets her stadium completed it is not at all probable that she will desire the football games to return to Kansas City and it will be up to Kansas to make ready for the grand rush when it comes her turn to entertain.

Ober's HEAD-TO-FOOT OUTFITTERS
Kansas University students received due regard by the provision arrived at this week that the Nebraska game will be played on McCook field next year. With no large game here, with the possible exception of Oklahoma, the main body of the students would have no first hand knowledge of the playing condition of the team. The playing of the Nebraska game here will allow enthusiastic rooters to figure out to the third decimal point just how badly we are going to beat Missouri next season.
The announcement that a class in fancy dancing will be conducted at this University will probably cause little cold thrills of horror to course down the spines of our friends at Baker, but the approaching base ball season with a scheduled game with the Methodists makes this practice of learning to do some fancy "side stepping" an almost essential means for physical protection.
Not to be outdone by our department of home economics, which teaches fourteen ways to cook an egg, the London Academy for Waiters has published the fact that there are 714 ways of folding a napkin.

HERE'S A CHANCE TO WIN A HUNDRED
FOR ESSAY ON "INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION."
Donor of Prize a Harvard Student—Contest Closes on March 15.
The contest for the prize of $100 for the best essay on International Arbitration by a student of any American college or university, offered annually by the Lake Mohonk Conference on International Arbitration will close March 15. More than ordinary interest attachs to this because it is the gift of a student —Chester D. Pugsley, of Peekskill, N. Y —at present studying law at Harvard. He was graduated from Harvard College in 1909.
A similar prize last year brought out seventy-five essays from colleges in all parts of the country and was won by George Knowles Gardner, of Worcester, Mass., a Harverd sophomore. In 1908-9 the prize went to L. B. Bobbitt, of Baltimore, then a sophomore in Johns Hopkins.
The judges will be Hon. Elmer Ellsworth Brown, United States Commis'ner of Education; Hon. Joseph B. Moore, Justice of the Supreme Court of Michigan; and Professor George Winfield Scott, of Columbia University.
The award of the prize will be announced and the presentation made at the seventeenth annual meeting of the Lake Mohonk Conference, May 24-26, to which meeting the winner will be invited.
Essays are not to exceed 5,000 words (3,000 is suggested as desirable) and must be delivered not later than March 15 to H. C. Phillips, Mohonk Lake, N. Y., from whom full information and references may be obtained.
BROWN ELECTED CAPTAIN.
Former High School Star to Lead Freshman Five.
Loren B. Brown of Kansas City, Mo., was elected captain of the freshman basket-ball team Friday. He played basket-ball four years at Central high school before coming to the University, and was captain of the team two years. He was the best point-gainer on the team and was picked by experts of Kansas City as a member of the interscholastic basket-ball five of Kansas City He plays the position of left forward on the freshman basket-ball team.
Value of "College Honors."
At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a system has been inaugurated by which all of the so-called "college honors" are rated and no man is allowed to have more than a specific number of points. It is said that the activities are no longer embarassed by the overloading of any one or more men and that no individual is allowed to identify himself with so many interests that his original purpose in college is lost sight of. This system is being considered in several eastern universities.
PREVENTION OF CRIME.
Professor F. H. Billings of the department of botany, spoke at Huron Friday night. His subject was "Bacteriology in Relation to Household and Farm Economy."
Prof. Blackmar Says to Look After the Children.
New dates and figs at Vic's.
Professor Frank W. Blackmar head of the department of sociology, spoke last Friday night before the Anti-Horse Thief association at Topeka on social conditions. He spoke in favor of the organization of neighborhood societies for the prevention of crime. It is better and cheaper in Professor Blackmar's opinion, for the state to take steps to prevent crime, than it is to spend most of its time and energy in correcting violations of the law after the crime has been committed.
Professor Blackmar spoke at length on the problem of providing the proper environment for children. In speaking of the work of the Sunday schools, he believes that more attention should be paid to the development of the social side of the child's nature as well as the religious side. He also advocated extensive playgrounds for children and expressed his belief that everyplayground around a school house should contain ten acres. The child labor laws were commended by Professor Blackmar in so far as they placed the government on the side of the children.
QUILL CLUB HISTORY.
Professor Hopkins Tells of Tribulations of Society.
Prof. E. M. Hopkins spoke at the regular meeting of the Quill club Monday afternoon especially to the new members in regard to the organization and history of the club. Though at times it was not in vigorous condition it has lived and grown. The publication of a magazine, Professor Hopkins considered as an important element in the success of the club. He also discussed the opportunity for making the Oread Magazine as a more frequent publication of literary value in the University.
Honor System at Columbia.
A movement is on foot at Columbia to bring about the "honor system" of examinations, and matters were brought to a head by the publication of a system of rules and regulations governing examinations by members of the senior science class. The sections of mining and metallurgy have already voted to adopt the scheme. All that is necessary now is the approval of the science faculty, and it is believed the authorities will look favorably upon the plan. Under the "honor system" proctors are dispensed with and the entire control is turned over to those taking the examinations. In case of any fraud or cheating detected, there is to be a trial of the offender by a committee of seven. The findings of this court are to be submitted to the faculty with the appropriate recommendations.
The total yearly income from all sources at the University of Kansas is $537,000.Two other universities have smaller incomes. They are Indiana State University, with $371,870, and Leland Stanford with $508,100.The largest income for any university is $2,678,930,the yearly income of Harvard.

FROM OTHER COLLEGES
Plans for the new dormitory, presented to Amherst College by Charles M. Pratt, 79, of Brooklyn, in memory of his son, Morris, formerly of the class of 1911, have been announced.
The board of regents will ask the State Legislature for special appropriations for a new science hall at the University of Michigan, to cost $250,000; for a heating power, lighting, and fire protection plant, to cost $305,000, and for a storehouse for supplies, to cost $20,000.
The student enrollment for 1910-1911 at Carnegie will exceed 2,200, a gain over previous years in practically all departments. The annual catalogue, just issued, shows that students come from thirty-six of the forty-eight states, and from seventeen foreign countries.
New York University, according to a recent report of the registrar, Dr. George C. Sprague, has loan funds amounting to nearly $18,000 for the use of its students. One hundred and forty-one students are enjoying the use of the funds, making an average loan of $128 to each.
Announcement.
We beg to announce the arrival of large German and Spanish importations of folders and mounts made to our order and sold exclusively to us. We operate a sufficient number of studios to justify even larger purchases than those of any photographic supply house, and therefore derive advantages in prices that enable us to offer a variety in styles heretofore untouched outside of the very largest cities.
We have in our exclusive employ a very efficient artist from Florence, Italy, and one of the foremost American artists on miniatures and paintings and back ground etchings, and are thoroughly equipped to supply an atmosphere to each negative that will individualize it and make it different from all others.
Our own finishing plant in Kansas City, being equipped to supply every want for fifty studios, is supposed to be the most thoroughly equipped in the world.
In addition to all times having fifty exclusive styles to offer the people of each vicinity in which we operate a studio, we will duplicate anything else produced in photography—both in quality and price—regardless of what they may be.
Furthermore, we are the first to establish the strictly one-price system with plain figures of the price on every wrapper—these are permanent and give everybody equal advantages on the very best rates in the city. But bear in mind, we employ the best talent money will procure. It is upon these principles that we solicit your patronage.

STUDENT ENGINEER BUILDS A WIRELESS
A FRESHMAN ELECTRICAL USES BARN FOR STATION.
Messages Received From Atlantic by Amateur Operator—Uses Headgear of Central Girls.
"Pleasant voyage, wish you a successful new year."
The above-going message was caught from a Hamburg-American liner in the mid-Atlantic by the wireless station of Volney Cissna, a freshman engineer at the University of Kansas, while av his home in Fort Scott, Kan., a few weeks ago. Cissna also has a station in Lawrence which is much better equipped than the southern Kansas plant. A wireless telegraph outfit consists of two parts, namely aerial and indoor. Four antenna or aluminum wires stretched between the ridges of the house and the barn at the height of thirty feet from the aerial apparatus. A homemade loose-coupled transformer, crystal rectifier, and a regulation telephone headgear, completes the equipment. The transformer is of Cissna's own manufacture and was made by him during his senior year in high school. It consists of two tightly wound copper wired wooden cylinders, one enveloping the other, which when pulled back and forth regulates the resonance and varies the wave length. The two cylinders are supported by pegs which are set upon a wooden base. The crystall rectifier or detector, which determines the wave length, consists simply of a perpendicular rod four inches long set upon a piece of silicon which is placed upon a hard rubber base covered on top with nickel plate. The regular "hello girls" headgear is used to decipher the wireless code that is in use by the different stations throughout the United States.
The young electrician has as yet made no attempt to transmit messages but is content with the receiving of the wireless code. He has in his possession over one hundred minor messages that he has picked up from the stations at the Forts Riley, Omaha, and Leavenworth, New Orleans and Key West, Florida.
When asked why he took up the study of wireless, he replied,
"The desire for communication between my boyhood chum and myself who lived two miles from town, led me to take it up, as we had no telephone at our house."
Cissno is now making a new transformer in the Fowler shops and expects to have it completed in a few weeks.

"If, however, one considers the theory of artificial use of fungus as a means for fighting chinch bugs as a theory for all time, regardless of any changes in natural conditions, then it is perhaps safe to say that it has been overthrown. But it is quite certain that Dr. Snow never claimed such immunity as that from the attacks of time, else he would never have expressed the wish that the time might come when artificial infection of chinch bugs would be unnecessary, a result he so earnestly endeavored to bring to pass in his own day."
"It is the public announcement of this fact that has caused some to see in it the downfall of Dr. Snow's theory. Although we disclaim any first-hand knowledge of the origin of the fungus now in the soil of the state, its presence here may be due to the work of Dr. Snow during the former chinch-bug epidemic.
ON CHINCH BUG FIGHT.
Prof. Billings Says Artificial Infection Is no Longer Necessary.
As regards associate professors' salaries, the University of Kansas stands at ninth place, with Washington, in a list of twelve. The highest is Columbia, at $4,000; the lowest is Nebraska, at $1,600.
"It is plain that natural forces are now accomplishing for the farmer all the benefits obtainable from the chinch-bug fungus,without effort on his part," said Prof. F. H. Billings in chapel this morning. "The farmer's efforts in this direction will no longer materially affect the result.
Of seventeen universities, Kansas has fifteenth place, with Colorado and Nebraska following in the matter of salaries for assistant professors. The salary paid by the University of Kansas is $1,500. The highest salary, $4,000, is paid by Columbia University.
Comparison of Salaries.
The salary of professors at the University of Kansas is far below the average of other universities with which the University of Kansas is to be compared. The salary of the deans of the different schools is $3,000. The highest salary paid to deans is by the University of Chicago, and is $7,500. In a list of seventeen universities, the University of Kansas stands at fourteenth place in the matter of salaries, alongside of Washington and Nebraska Universities. Colorado, paying $2,600, is the lowest in the list.
The University of Kansas is below the Universities of Colorado and Nebraska in the matter of salaries paid to full professors, $2,500. The highest is Columbia University with a salary of $7, 500.
IT WAS LONESOME TIME
How Students Waited for New Term to Begin.
"Oh, hum, I'm so tired."
It was Saturday morning, and a mathematics "gun" was speaking.
"I didnt have a single class Friday," she continued. It was the most tiresome day I ever spent. Didn't know what to do."
Various ways were employed by students to get through the short breathing-spell between terms without ennui. Some indulged in the luxury of sleeping till the sun was on the last lap of his marathon. Some went home to seek the consolation of their parents after the week of flunking quizzes. One student in answer to repeated queries, looked up from his desk to say that he was answering the letters that had been written to him during the last term.
"I'll finish this evening, and then I'll be getting letters for at least two weeks," he said. "It sort of gives a new lease on life." And some went to Kansas City.
K. U. Alumnus Promoted.
Professor Erasmus Haworth received a letter recently from George T. Hansen, who graduated from the engineering school in '06, telling of his appointment to the position of general mining sales engineer of the Allis-Chalmers Machinery company, with the additional responsibility of assuming charge of all especially large construction work. The Allis-Chalmers Machinery company United States and they make mais one of the three largest in the machinery of all kinds Before high promotion to his present position Mr. Hansen had charge of the installation of the company's machinary.
Freshmen and Seniors Win.
The result of the interclass basketball games yesterday between the juniors and seniors and the freshmen and sophomores resulted in victories for the freshman and senior teams. The game between the juniors and seniors was exceptionally close and exciting. The game to decide the championship of the school will be played between the freshmer and seniors sometime next week
Fred Truby of Independence, Kas, Robert Waters, and Reginald Williams of Kansas City, Mo. freshmen in the college, have been pledged to the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity.
MISSION STUDY COURSES
Hazel Sanders, who attended the University two years ago, has returned to complete the course.
Minnie Pickens, '09, has returned to the University for graduate work.
Many Subjects to Be Presented This Term.
This term's schedule of Mission study classes for girls has just been completed, and every girl is asked by the committee who has charge of the work, to examine carefully the following list of courses and if possible, avail herself of the opportunity offered here for getting into touch with one of the world movements off the day.
The study of missions has taken on an added meaning and interest since the unparalleled industrial, political and religious awakening in the nations of the far East. The necessity of knowing something of the traditions, present-day history and conditions of the Oriental peoples, for the perfect understanding of even the ordinary course of events in the world today, in almost any field, has brought about an unusually full course of mission study classes for the present term, offered by the Young Women's Christian Association and the Bible chair houses.

VOLUME VII.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1911
LOOK FOR A FIGHT
CORNHUSKERS EXPECTED TO PUT UP HARD GAMES.
The last series of games on the varsity basket-ball schedule to be played on the home court in Robinson gymnasium this year will be contested with the University of Nebraska next Friday and Saturday nights. The last two times that the students will be able to see the varsity five in action this year are expected to be close and exciting contests. Nebraska has made no great record this year, but they have been playing close games with some of the best teams in the Missouri valley and also with some of the teams of the Western conference
To Avenge Former Defeats Nebraskans Must Beat Kansas This Week.
The great rivalry between the students of the two schools will probably break forth with all its pent up force the night of the first game. The Nebraska boys are determined to win at least one of the games of this series in order to maintain the athletic honor of their school. It has been three years since the Cornhusker five has returned to Lincoln with the victory over the Jayhawker attached to its string. Kansas won all four games of last year's schedule, despite the face that Nebraska had one of the best squads that they have had in recent years. This year, the sting of the defeat on the football field lends an incentive to rouse the K U. five to further efforts in order to retrieve the reputation of the school on the basket-ball court. Hamilton's men have proved themselves to be as good as the school has ever had and the dope points toward a Kansas victory. Missouri defeated Nebraska last night by a good lead
"I know little about the Corn husker squad this season," said Coach W. O. Hamilton. "They defeated the Ames team in the first game by a large score and that aggregation carried off the victory on the following night by a close margin. In both their games with Minnesota, they held the score very low, even though they were defeated in both contests. I think that the contest will be close, but the playing will probably be clean and free from rough work. One fact that seasoquo s. assuqeq N. aprepui at victory is that they lost two of their best men this year in Perry, who was a star guard, and Petrashek, who plays center.
"I am giving our men a rest this week in preparation for the trip which will begin next week. Every man on the squad is in the best condition possible and I expect them to win these games by good margins in the score."
NUMBER 52
As a curtain raiser to the game Saturday night, the College team will play a return game with the Kansas City Y. M. C. A. Tiger team. The members of the department squad are out for revenge on account of the defeat last night, so a fast contest is expected.
Prof. G. A. Gesoll will speak at Holowel Saturday.
A KANSAS ORATOR.
Captain "Joe" Waters of Topeka Will Speak in Chapel.
Captain Joseph G. Waters of Topeka, will speak in chapel Friday morning. His original wit and ready satire have marked him as a fearless character among speakers in Kansas. For many years he has been in great demand as a public and after-dinner speaker.
He has been engaged in the practice of law for over thirty years and now enjoys one of the most extensive practices of the state. He is also a criminal lawyer of great ability and has been engaged as attorney in some of the most important cases that have ever been tried in Kansas. Captain Waters was in command of an Illinois regiment during the Civil war.
VESPERS NEXT SUNDAY.
Bishop Hendricks Will Speak at First Service of Year.
The first vesper service since December 11, will be held at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon in Fraser hall chapel. Bishop Hendricks, of the Methodist church, South, of Kansas City, Mo., will speak. The Vesper chorus will not sing, but the following musical program has been prepared
Piano solo, "Andante Expressivo" (Debussy)—Professor Carl Preyer.
Song, "Oh Savior of the World" (Sir John Goss)—Vesper quartette.
Organ and piano duet, "Andante" (Chaminade) — Miss Cooke and Mr. Preyer.
FENCING AND BOXING.
Dr. Naismith Would Organize Classes for Sport Lovers.
Dr. Naismith will organize a class in fencing and boxing in the near future, if enough of the men in the University are interested in these sports to make the plan practicable. There has been a demand for such classes of this sort every year, but heretofore Dr. Naismith has not considered that enough men would take part to make the effort worth while.
At other schools boxing and fencing clubs exist that hold tournaments every year and give exhibitions. It is the present purpose of Dr. Naismith to arrange for a tournament to be held next spring.
Herbert Jonts, a senior mining engineer, spoke before the University branch of the American Institute Wednesday afternoon on the "Telluride District of Colorado." Mr. Jonte used lantern slides made from pictures which he took while working in that district during the summer of 1910.

Lectured to Miners
The Sachems will meet this evening at 9 o'clock at the Acacia house.
Sachems Will Meet.
COUNCIL IS OPPOSED
DOESN'T WANT TO HANDLE ELIGIBILITY.
At the Meeting Tuesday Night Only One Member Favored Action by the Council.
It was decided, after an evening of argument, to invite the members of the Athletic Board to attend a conference with the Council next Tuesday night and to defer all action until after the conference is held.
The Student Council is much opposed to making a home for the little foundling which the Athletic Board has left on its doorstep. When the question of baseball eligibility came up at the meeting of the Council Tuesday night, the only member who favored having the Council undertake any work of athletic administration was "Mike" Lynch. Several other members devoted the evening to trying to argue "Mike" out of his position.
The consensus of opinion seemed to be that the Athletic Board was asking the Council to take up work which the Board is as fully competent to perform as the Council.
"The Athletic Board is lazy. The members aren't willing to attend to the work they are especially empowered to do," is the way one Council member put it. The Council seemed to want it understand that it is no fonder of work that is the Athletic Board.
Lynch vainly argued in favor of having the Council take a stand in favor of the amateur rules.
J. T. Chafin, of the Swope Settlement, of Kansas City will speak at Myers hall, this evening at 6:45.
A SETTLEMENT TALK.
J. T. Chafin Will Tell "How the Other Half Lives."
"The Athletic Board got athletics into all this trouble, now let the Board find the remedy," said one member of the Council
So, Lynch was a lonesome minority of one in favor of the assumption of responsibility. McKay and Zoellner led the chorus of objections against it.
"No student ever complained that an athlete was violating his amateur standing," said McKay. "They want all the men to play who can and they kick when one is ruled out for professionalism." "Let's call a meeting and see if the students want amateurs to represent them," suggested Lynch.
Notice.
Mr. Chafin has chosen as his subject, "How the Other Half Lives." He has had a great deal of experience among the poor settlements of Kansas City and an interesting talk is expected.
The first tryout for the sophomore fare will be held in room 110. Fraser hall at 7:30 tonight.
Prof. L. E. Sayre, dean of the School of Pharmacy ,went to Topeka yesterday to do some work for the Kansas Academy of Science, of which organization he is a member.
WRESTLERS ORGANIZE.
Gymnasium Director Will Instruct Three Classes.
A wrestling club will be organized by C. B. Root next Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 in the gymnasium. The members will be divided into three classes according to weight, as follows: Light-weight for those weighing less than 135 pounds; middle weight, 135 to 158; and heavy weight for those weighing over 158 pounds.
In May a tournament will be held to decide the best wrestler in each class. The three winners of each division wrestle for the championship of the University. Apropriate medals will be awarded which will be paid for by charging a membership fee off twenty-five cents.
The class will met every Wednesday afternoon at 4:30. There are already a dozen men who have signified their intention of joining.
. SECOND STORY STARTED.
Work Progressing Rapidly on Administration Building.
K. K. CLUB DISBANDS.
The work on the new administration building is progressing as rapidly as the weather will permit. The brick work with its terra cotta facing is well advanced toward the second story, it being nearly the required height on the north and east sides The erection of the forms for the second floor has begun and the forms for the supporting columns are in place.
Members Differed on Question "Literary or Social—Which?"
The false work supporting the concrete for the first floor is being removed in order to make room for the false work that will support the forms for the stairways leading from the first floor to the basement.
Anna Savage entertained the girls of her district Wednesday night with a valentine party. About thirty girls were present and spent an enjoyable evening making valentines and trying their skill in an archery contest.
It is reported that few of the old members will reorganize and carry out the social side.
Mary Bass, of the class of 1910 from McPherson, Kan., is visiting this week with friends at the University.
Prof. W. H. Johnson, the high school visitor, has been sick the past few days with la gripe.
At a recent meeting of the K. K. society, held at Myers hall, it was the unanimous vote of the members present to disband. The society was organized about two years ago and was to be a literary society. Some of the members wanted to make it more of a social organization, and this with a few other differences, caused the club to disband.
John T. Stewart, a senior in the College from Wellington, was called home Wednesday on account of the death of his sister.

COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS BY CHICAGO PROFESSOR.

Dr. Small has been the University dean and head of the department of sociology since 1892, and dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Literature since 1905 in the University of Chicago.

The subject of Dr. Small's address has not been made known.
ELECTION IN K. N. G.
Politics Causes Dissension in University Military Company.
Capt. C. R. Shifler placed the local company of National Guards under martial law last Tuesday evening when the election to fill the vacancy in officials caused by the resignation of Second Lieutenant B.R. Stocks, took place. Three candidates were out for the position in the final ballot Harry Alphin, J. S. Wenger and Forest C. Walden. In the balloting 23 votes were cast for Allphin, 16 for Wenger and 9 for Walden. A motion was carried to eliminate the lowest man, thus eliminating Walden. A majority of votes present is required for election. On these grounds, Capt. Chifffler declared the election in favor of Allphin. It is understood that the friends of Wenger will demand a new election at the first meeting of the Guards, which will be on

STILL LIFE.
In the University museum stands the sculptured bronze figure of a man who is supposed to be planting corn. His hand is extended to drop some kernels into the earth and he has a spade to cover them up with. No one has ever seen the bronze man move since he was placed in position on the museum floor. Seemingly he is always on the job, yet his work never gets anywhere.
It is unfortunate that there is a little lodge of members of the Student Council who seem to believe that the highest expression of their duties as representatives of the student body is in emulating the man of bronze in his masterly attitude of Doing Nothing,
Those who are opposed to the woman's suffrage movement will find an extremely favorable point in the fact that although this question is now up for consideration before the State Legislature, no signs of life can be detected in the Women's Equal Suffrage League at this University. It is painful to think that these young ladies have allowed a golden opportunity to pass and have not offered a single resolution or petition to the august assembly in Topeka. Can it be that they will not acknowledge that they are old enough to vote?
The Student Council has decided to hold a conference with the members of the Athletic Board before deciding what to do in the matter of college baseball. It is a pretty good thing to know what one is about when taking an important step, and the proposed conference ought to clear up matters somewhat. Still,there is an unpleasant suspicion that the Council is anxious not to do anything with eligibility. It looks bad for baseball.
Sure! Let 'Em Vote.
In the Kansas Senate today Senator Reed read an editorial from The Star censuring the legislatuer for its refusl to make sufficient appropriations for the maintenance of the State University and the State Agricultural College, and offered a resolution to submit the appropriations to a vote of the people.
Fine!
The people who pay the taxes and the people who have children to educate should pass upon the question of the appropriations for schools.
By all means let the question be submitted to the citizens of Kansas—Kansas City Star.

He Wanted to See.
To the Editor of The Kansan.
The question of large hats, those with the dome shape effect, with a garden of roses planted in such a manner as to obstruct the view of the little man behind, seems proper at this time.
At the Missouri basket-ball games, a young man, who had paid double the price of admission, failed to see a goal thrown, simply because a dashing young lady wore her dome effect.
FOR $15
Couldn't the manager make a short address before the opening of the next series with Nebraska and ask the ladies to dispense with their rose gardens during the game?
It is awfully embarrassing to ask your lady friend the score every two or three minutes and have her reply that she doesn't know how to keep score.
—The Man Who Paid.
Dr. W. H. Carruth delivered an illustrated lecture before the West Side Study club last Tuesday in Fraser hall. Stereoptic views from the country of William Tell, together with a talk on this character were the features of the meeting.

PRESENT MAY FETE
Y. W. C. A. TO HAVE CHARGE OF THIS YEAR'S FESTIVAL
Girls of Senior Class Will Elect One of Their Number for May Queen.
In accordance with a custom which was established in the University of Kansas three years ago, a May Day Festival will be given by the students of the University sometime in May of this year. The Young Women's Christian Association, which will have charge of the fete, met soon after the holidays and drew up plans for this year's performance. Miss Naida Thomas, secretary of that association, will have general supervision of the festival. Miss Beulah Murphy chairman of the Y.W.C.A. social committee, has been chooser business manager.
Miss Thomas announced this morning that several of the same events which have been presented in past years will be repeated and new attractions will be added. The "Pyramus and Thisbe" performance and the Morris Dances will be given and other dances and spectacles are being planned. The May Pole dance will, of course, be one of the main features of the day. Miss Mary C. Fish, of the department of physical education, will train the dancers.
The May Queen will be elected by the members of the senior class, as has been done in previous Festivals. Attendants to the May Queen will be chosen from the young ladies of the other classes.
This year's festival will in all probability be given in front of Fraser hall and plans for seating a large number of spectators comfortably are being considered.

Mechanical Exhibition in Fowler Shops Postponed
The machine that was to have been exhibited at the Fowler shops recently could not be used. It was damaged while in transit to Lawrence from the University of Missouri and had to be sent back to the company's plant at Cleveland, O. It is doubtful if it will be shown here after the repairing.

At $15.00
Some very fine Suits and Overcoats, of $18 to $25 standard grades. Good to put away for next Winter, if you do not need it now. The saving is more than enough to make it an investment.
At $18.50
Some very fine Hart, Schaffner & Marx Suits and Overcoats, $25. $27.50 and a few $30 grades among them, and all fully up to their qualities at original prices and when any man can get Hart, Schaffner & Marx Clothes at less than usual prices he's certainly not very wise if he doesn't do it.

TRYOUT FOR BAKER
LACK OF INTEREST SHOWN IN YESTERDAY'S TRIAL.
Coach Hamilton Fears That This Year's Track Team Will Not Equal Former Standards.
The try-out for the track team that will oppose Baker University in the gymnasium Monday night, February 13, and the handicap meet with the Lawrence high school took place in the gymnasium yesterday afternoon. The result of the first day of the meet between the high school and the varsity team was 43 to 13 in favor of the varsity.
The number of the men that came out for try-out was exceedingly small. Coach Hamilton said that the lack of interest displayed was very discouraging to him and that the University would have to work hard this year to maintain the high standing that the team acquired last year.
The result of yesterday's events are: 30-yard dash—First, Harry Hamilton; second, C. Woodbury; time, 3:4. 30-yard low hurdles—First, Finch of the high school; second, C. Woodbury; time 4; 30-yard high hurdles—first, C. Woodbury, second,H.

FELLOWS VS. PROFESSORS.
A Game for a Stake in Chemistry Department.
The professors of the chemistry department this week challenged the industrial fellows of the same department to a game of basketball. The challenge was written in the following terms and presented to the captain of the fellows:
"We, the high monkey-monks of the red ink-slingers, do hereby challenge the Industrious High Imagination Fellows to make a splendid endeavor toward glorious achievement in basket-ball and at the end a pot of stew."
B. A. Earhart, who was graduated from the School of Law in 1909, and Vinnie Vandling, a student in the University from 1906 to 1908, were married December 22. Mr. Earhart recent was appointed postmaster at Oxford.
The fellows accepted the invitation and the game will be played next week.

The value of the endowment fund of the University of Kansas is less than that of other institutions in the state. The agricultural College has a fund of $500,000; the Normal School, $270,000; Washburn, $210,000; Ottawa, $175,000; Baker, $161,00 and the University of Kansas, $151,000. In other words, the University of Kansas has very little permanent income and must depend almost entirely on direct appropriations.
Appropriations aggregating $710,00 were made to ten universities and colleges at the annual meeting of the general educational board recently held in New York. The gifts are conditional upon additional sums being raised by the institutions. Carlton College of Northfield, Minn., Colorado College of Solorado Springs, and Dakota Wesleyan University of Mitchell, S. D., are the schools west of the Mississippi, which are benefited.

Kansas City Y. M. Beats Second Five Yesterday.
The department men have not been taught the A. A. U. rules this year, and some of the men had never played under the rules before in their basket-ball experience. As a result many fouls were called on the College men for violation of the rules and these fouls proved exceedingly costly because the man who did the free tossing for the opponents scarcely missed a basket.

NEBRASKA WON BY SUPERIOR PLAYING
CORNHUSKERS TOOK MEASURE OF HAMILTON'S MEN
In Fastest Game of the Season Kansas Five Was Outplayed Florence Beats Lawrence.
The Cornhuskers were victorious over the Jayhawkers in the first game of basket ball series in Robinson gymnasium last night by a score of 36 to 27. This is the first time that Nebraska has defeated Kansas at basket-ball since a series of three games which were played in Kansas City three years ago. The score last night was the result of a contest in which the Cornhuskers easily proved themselves the superior team both in team work and in shooting goals. They had been primed for this game and won by clean, fast playing; so fast, indeed, that the men were exhausted after the contest had drawn to a close.
After the ball had been thrown up at center for the first time, it was but a short time until Kansas scored the first points of the game when Stuckey threw a goal from the field. However Nebraska quickly obtained three goals and thus took a lead that was never stopped during the entire game except for a few minutes in the latter part of the second half, when Kansas forged one point ahead, but was speedily overtaken by Nebraska.
The pace set by the Cornhuskers was the fastest that has been witnessed on the court in Robinson gymnasium this year and toward the end of the game it told on both teams, but they fought the contest to the finish. The work of the Nebraska guards was exceptionally good in covering the Kansas forwards when they were within shooting distance of the basket. One of the features of the game was the long shot that Stuckey made from the center of the court. Dousman and Larson, while they were not as successful in keeping their forwards covered, did good work in breaking up the Cornhusker team work, and in working the ball back to the Kansas goal. The superiority of the opponents was shown in their team work, the ease with which they destroyed the Kansas passing and the dexterity with which they took the ball out of the hands of a Kansas man.
Coach Hamilton says that it was a plain case of being outplayed, but he expects his men to come back strong tonight, and to take the last game.
During the first half, Owen,Nebraska's left forward, suffered a badly wrenched knee. He returned to the game in a short time, but was later forced to withdraw.
The stars of the game for the visitors were Frank and Hilmes who were also the point-gatherers for their team. "Shorty" Long accepted all except one of his trials at fre throws, while the Cornhuskers were unable to score when given a free trial.
The line-up of the team was:
Nebraska— G. F.T. F.
Owen, l. f...1 0 0
Hutchins, l. f...2 0 0
Gibson, r. f...1 0 1

Referee—"Fog" Allen. Time of halves, 20 minutes.
As a curtain raiser to the varsity game, the Florence high school played the Lawrence high school and defeated them by a score of 34 to 27. In the first half of the preliminary contest, John Garrison, who played right guard for the Florence team, suffered a severe sprain of the right ankle. He continued playing the game to the finish and helped him team-mates win the victory.
As a curtain raiser to the game tonight the College team will play the Kansas City Y. M. C. A. Tiger team as a return contest to the game played in Kansas City Wednesday night.

Mr. Miller is looking up and making a comparison between the grades made by pupils in high schools and the grades made by those same pupils while in the University. He will also take figures from Emporia State Normal, Baker, Washburn, and the Manhattan Agricultural College. This will give statistics showing the relative difference in the standard of study maintained by the different schools.
Tryout for Kansan.
Any student in the University desiring to tryout for a place on The Kansan board may make a place before school closes in the spring if he begins at once. It is probable that three new men will be elected before June. No one who cannot devote at least two hours, three days out of the week to gathering news should apply. It is especially desired by the editorial staff that some member from the engineering school shall tryout, so that the news from that school may be thoroughly covered.

WOULD MAKE FRATS PAY TAXES AGAIN
BRADY FAVORS REPEAL OF EXEMPTION LAW.
The Unequal Burden Is Most Severely Felt by the People of Baldwin.
Senator J. L. Brady of Douglas county has introduced a bill into the upper house of the legislature to repeal the law which exempts the property of Greek letter fraternities from taxation. Representative J. M. Newlin of Douglas county introduced the same bill into the lower house about three weeks ago.
Senator Brady said today that great pressure was brought to bear upon the Douglas county legislators by the people of Baldwin, who want the fraternities and sororities of Baker University to pay taxes on their property. The little town which is the seat of the Methodist school has on foot some expensive improvements which can not be carried to completion unless all the property it town is made to pay its share of taxes.
"We have received petitions with hundreds of signers and numerous delegations have visited us at Topeka, asking that Baker fraternity property be again made taxable, so the town can go ahead with its improvements," said Senator Brady today.
Senator Brady thinks the law is wrong in principle as it distributes the burden of taxation unjustly.
The Chi Omega sorority and the Pi Upsilon fraternity are the only Greek letter organizations of the University which took advantage of the law exempting them from taxation this year. The repeal of the law would make very little difference to the fraternities here.

WILL THE COUNCIL ACT?
It is intimated that one reason why the Student Council is so reluctant to accept the athletic board's invitation to help enforce the eligibility rules governing baseball is because the members are convinced that the rules as they now stand are fareical—that their strict enforcement would bar out many men who are in the truest sense amateurs, and this fact encourages winking at them in every quarter.
Perhaps it is time to cast aside the present letter of the rules. They are at bottom rules adopted in the early days of collegiate baseball and patched and added to until the result is regarded by many as grotesque, bunglesome and ineffective. Possibly the time has arrived to discard them, and, building upon the experience of the last ten years, to frame a new code which will deal simply and directly with conditions as they stand today.
If the time has arrived for such action, why shouldn't the Council take a hand in the revision?
Far better than any policy of inaction and negation would be a genuinely constructive effort by the representatives of the student body to give form and force to the students' views on
If the members of the Student Council don't like the present rules, let them tell why, and suggest changes for the better. Here is a program that calls for some hard work, perhaps, but the students in general will not object to seeing their council work.
amateur athletics and the best way to insure the amateur standing of University athletics.
Perhaps, if the Legislature would appropriate enough money to set the School of Medicine on its feet it would be possible to do something for the serious condition described in the following paragraph from the Garden City Telegram:
"Three mighty good University regents are about to expire without much chance, it is feared, of reappointment: W. Y. Morgan, J. W. Gleed, Scott Hopkins
The point system by which Lynch of the Student Council is trying to pass student elective honors around among a slightly larger circle, will have a hard time getting through the Council. Some of the members seem hopelessly devoted to the doctrine that to the grafters belong the spoils. It is a curious fact that many of the students who achieve distinction after they leave the University are among those who never held an office or took part to any considerable extent in student affairs while they were in school. It also is a fact that many a man who goes forth from the University leaving a long trail of class honors behind his name in the senior annual is found to have reached the zenith of his ability in getting those honors associated with his name. Why should not the student body get the benefit of what some of the bright unknowns can do if they only have a chance? And why not prevent the present overburdened holders of student honors from wearing away all their energy before they get a chance to use it out in the world? A little better distribution of class and other student honors could do no harm and it might help a number of people.
It is easy enough to predict that none of the essays on applied Christianity for which an unknown benefactor is offering prizes will deal with University class politics.

The Book-Worm Turns.
Again we have lived over a week of assignments in the reference courses and again we have been admonished to read, read, read, and take notes. I am not kicking on reading and taking notes, but I am kicking on the outrageous amount of reading that some professors seem to want students to do. Of course the student is not expected to read carefully everything that is assigned—that is an impossibility—but it is assigned just the same, and when the note-books come in it makes no particular difference whether the reader, if such he may be called, has put much material into his head, just so he has made some kind of a record of the assignment in his note-book. Unreasonable reading assignments thus lead to a haphazard, careless way of doing things. A lack of thoroughness is encouraged. Practical, systematic knowledge and mental training is sacrificed to a senseless desire to cover a lot of ground in a minimum of time, and the result is a careless mind with a useless confusion of general material.
For instance, I know of a case where a professor has this week assigned a definite list of references covering approximately one thousand pages to be read by the end of fifteen recitation periods. Now every professor ought to know that no student can or will average more than two hours reading to each recitation hour unless he neglects other work or ruins his health. Every professor knows also that the average student cannot read and take notes on more than twenty pages an hour and do it as it should be done. Figure it up then: thirty study hours times twenty pages an hour equals six hundred pages--about half the assignment. I contend that such unreasonable assignments do not “seare” students into working.
Why not have reasonable assigned readings and then a closer inspection of note-books by the professors? There is a crying need for greater thoroughness and care, and these qualities are not promoted by hasty and ill-considered reading. We need quality instead of bulk.
but merely discourage and overwork those conscientious students who are in for business, and encourages dishonesty, fraud, and carelessness on the part of those who want to get through as easily as possible. The latter class of students look upon such an assignment as an impossibility and hence neglect it altogether. They wait till about the last minute, then hastily run over the books and take copious notes on a lot of stuff they know little or nothing about, or they "borrow" some other person's note-book and do some extensive "eramming" and manage to creep through. Unreasonably large assignments tend to encourage these careless ways of doing things.

"HONOR IS MORE THAN HIGH FEES"
JUDGE PHILIPS IS FOR HIGH ETHICS IN LAW.
Ex-Federal Judge Urges Young Lawyers Not to Be Led Away From Lofty Standards.
Ex-federal Judge John F. Philips closed his speech in chapel yesterday, in which he discussed the relation of the courts to the democratic form of government, with a strong appeal to the students of the School of Law to carry into their profession a high standard of ethics and urged them to consider the honors and distinctions attending a long and just career on the bench as more to be desired than the luxurious life of the well-paid lawyer. He said that it should be the ambition of every lawyer, rather to save the life of an accused man from the clamor of the populace or an orphan from the spoiler than to receive large rewards from wealthy corporations. He recalled to mind the fact that poverty often leads to distinction and that a young man must not be too anxious to get along too rapidly in the world.
"Don't forget to come back to your Alma Mater when you have won fame and glory for yourself and visit your revered and learned Dean. It will gladden his heart and enrich his life."
In speaking of the tendency of the times to make the judges more directly responsible to the vote of the mass of the people, Judge Philips denounced the movement as one tending to destroy the impartiality and judicial atmosphere of the jurist. If they are appointed for life their wisdom increases with age and they have no other motive for action than that of establishing a name for themselves as honest and impartial judges.
In speaking of the supreme court of the United States, Judge Philips said, "A country can no more exist without a supreme court to uphold its constitution than it can exist without the providence of God. The framers of the constitution never intended that the supreme court should pass upon its own acts."

CITY SETTLEMENT WORK
Chafin Told of Aid for Poor and Criminal
In speaking at the Y. M. C. A. meeting Thursday evening on "How the Other Half Lives," J. f. Chaiin of he Swope Settlement work in Kansas City took of his experiences with the poo and degenerate of that city. Not only does he seek to provide in his institution a better environment and some encouragement for the unfortunate, but also he assists the police. With the later he also frequently has controversies for their failure in duty.
"In all our work the volunteers from among the lower strata itself are very helpful to me," said Mr. Chafin. "I have had four boys who were especially useful in reporting crimes to me and advising with me how we can help those who are down even though from their own misconduct."
"Boys from the street though they are, they have much of true manhood in them and are 'on the square,'" declared Mr. Chafin. Such men aid him in encouraging their weaker associates.
Mr. Chafin and the other regular settlement workers perform a service for the poor by compelling landlords to be just to their tenants. This work occasionally brings the enmity of men who otherwise would be willing to give them financial support. A certain amount of free medical service is given at the settlement house to those who require such help.
NAUGHTY WORDS BARRED.
Student Boarding Clubs Form Anti-Profanity League.
Steps have been taken by some of the student boarding clubs to organize an anti-profanity league. One club has already taken the initiative, elected officers, and established a fine system. The system is unique. Each member caught uttering a slang phrase or irreverent word within hearing distance of two persons is arrested. He is brought before a student tribunal and tried, the mode of procedure being the same as that of a regular justice court. The unfortunate one is assessed one cent per word. When there is a sufficient amount of money in the bank to warrant the expense a banquet is held and the whole house join in a "spread."
Such a banquet was given last night in the attic of a boarding club on Mississippi street, after the basket-ball game.

FROM OTHER COLLEGES
Nearly twenty million dollars in gifts has been received by the University of Chicago from its founder, John D. Rockefeller, during the administration of President Harry Pratt Judson.
Investigation of the registrations of the last summer school and of the first semester of the present year shows that the University of Michigan received more students from Massachusetts than from any other New England state.
A gift of $300,000 by Mrs. Russell Sage to Cornell University has been announced by President Schurman. The money is to be used for a new dormitory for women students, to be known as the "Prudence Risley Hall" in honor of Mrs. Sage's mother.
It has been definitely determined that the new building in which the Harvard Germanie Museum collections are to be placed, and toward the erection of which Adolphus Busch of St. Louis, Mo., has given sums aggregating $250,-000, is to be known as Adolphus Busch hall.
A bronze fountain has been given to Smith College, at Northampton, Mass., by William H. Lanning of Hastings, Neb., in memory of his daughter, Mary Tomlinson Lanning, of the class of 1912. The fountain is a basin, with the figure of a woman standing beside it. The site for it is still undetermined.
March 10 is the date selected for the annual debate between the State Universities of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. The subject will be "Compulsory Arbitration as a means of settling Disputes between labor and capital." Each university will choose a team of three debaters to defend each side of the question.
An increase in the income and and in the building fund of the University of Wisconsin on the basis of a growth of 23 per cent. in the number of students in the last two years, and of the growing demand on the part of people of the State for expert assistance, is provided for in a bill introduced in the legislature. The bill provides for changing the existing two-seventh of a mill tax on the assessed valuation of all property of the state for maintaining the university to 3-8 of a mill. This would increase the general university income, approximately, from $750,000 a year to $1,000,000.

WILL MEET BAKER ON MONDAY NIGHT
COACH HAMILTON SAYS KANSAS WILL WIN.
Baker Has Dangerous Men in Hurdles, High Jump and Quarter.
Coach Hamilton will attempt to use the thirty-six meen who have shown up well in the try-outs in the meet with Baker University, Monday night in Robinson gymnasium. He says that he has little doubt but that the varsity can win the meet by a large score.
"I think that if all the men who have tried out will work hard for the next three weeks," he continued, "we could have a team that could not be headed by any other school in the Missouri Valley this spring. The main thing now is that the men work hard and with the right kind of spirit, but if they don't, we will not have much of a chance in the conference. We should let the over-confidence of the basket-ball team be an example for us this year and should do the hard work from the start and keep it up."
"The prospects for the team are a little better than they were last year. However, Nebraska reports that they will have the best track team this season that they have ever had in the history of their school, and they predict that no school in the Missouri Valley will be able to beat them. The hardest work will be required within the next three weeks to get in shape for the Missouri meet in March and we will have to be in first class trim to make any showing at all."
"It is true that the men will have to train without any coach for ten days while I am away with the basket-ball team, but Captain Hamilton,trainer Burgess, French and Tod Woodbury will be in charge of the work and the men will be expected to take their daily practice the same as if I were here myself."
In speaking of the meet Monday night, Hamilton said: "I am told that Baker has one of the best men on the hurdles in the valley, and that their men on the quarter mile and the high jump are allyso good. I believe that they expect to make those events their strong point-winners."
Sig Alph Spring Party.

The stage was decorated with the purple and gold bunting, the front of which was arranged with potted palms, covered with the varicolored bunting. The chandeliers were draped with purple. An immense shield bearing the fraternity emblem was hung in the front of the stage.
As the couples arrived they were received by Miss Marie Sinclair, Miss Ann Williams, Miss Hazel Sanders and Mr. Fred Had doek, Mr. W. F. Bellows, Mr. Herman D. Knecht.

Announcement.
We beg to announce the arrival of large German and Spanish importations of folders and mounts made to our order and sold exclusively to us. We operate a sufficient number of studios to justify even larger purchases than those of any photographic supply house, and therefore derive advantages in prices that enable us to offer a variety in styles heretofore untouched outside of the very largest cities.
We have in our exclusive employ a very efficient artist from Florence, Italy, and one of the foremost American artists on miniatures and painting and back ground etchings, and are thoroughly equipped to supply an atmosphere to each negative that will indivialize it and make it different from all others.
Hot and cold soda, egg drinks and ice cream at Barber's drug store.
In addition to all times having fifty exclusive styles to offer the people of each vicinity in which we operate a studio, we will duplicate anything else produced in photography—both in quality and price—regardless of what they may be.
Furthermore, we are the first to establish the strictly one-piece system with plain figures of the price on every wrapper—these are permanent and give everybody equal advantages on the very best rates in the city. But bear in mind, we employ the best talent money will procure. It is upon these principles that we solicit your patronage.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1911
UNIVERSITY GIRLS AID CIVIC LEAGUE
FINE ARTS STUDENTS DO SETTLEMENT WORK.
Poor Children in the East Bottoms Given Instruction—The Classes Well Attended.
In times past the University of Kansas has been at various times intimately connected with that section of the city known as the East Bottoms, but it remained for the members of the department of expression of the School of Fine Arts to establish a relation that works for the good of both At 1022 New York street, a three room house has been fitted up and every Monday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock the young women of the department go to this place and conduct short classes in physical culture and kindergarten work and tell fairy stories and stories of historical interest to the young children who come to this place every week.
The idea of conducting a class along missionary lines was conceived last year and some work was done by the department in co-operation with the work that the Civic league of this city is doing. But at the beginning of school last fall the work was taken up by the department systematically and from a beginning of four boys, the class has grown to twenty-four, and additions to the equipment of the house have been made from time to time, so that at the present time there are three nicely furnished rooms with pictures, simple furniture and a piano. Exercises to develop misshapen limbs and to properly develop parts of the body are given, and little drills with simple musical exercises add much to the interest of the meetings. But the story-hour is the one that most delights the children and as they listen to the tales of fancy or open wide their eyes at the stories of wonderful men and women the real purpose of the holding of the classes is evident.
Children between the ages of 5 and 12 years old are admitted and Miss Walker, who has charge of the class says that the children show great interest in the work and that at no time have they been hampered by a lack of attendance.
The idea of conducting these classes is not entirely original with the department as they cooperate to a great extent with the various societies in the city, but it is unique in the fact that young women of the University can find time to bring a little enjoyment into the lives of those whom circumstances have oppressed
Third Musical Recital.
The third number of the winter course of musical recitals will be given in the chapel this evening by Albert Boroff. Mr. Borooff has won for himself a place of pre-eminence in the musical world, and is recognized as one of the leading bassos of the country.
FIRST MILITARY HOP
University K. N. G. to Give Ball February 21.
The first annual military hop will be given by the University K. N. G. in Robinson gymnasium February 21. Many officers of the regular army as well as the officers of the National Guard, from Leaenworth and Topeka will be here.
Those in charge of the arrangements have planned to have the military band, stationed at Fort Leavenworth, play and it is understood from those that attended commencement last year that this is the best band in this part of the country.
Those in charge have arranged to have guards detailed from the company to patrol the different parts of the building, to act as orderlies in the dressing rooms.
The balcony to the gym will be draped with red, white and blue bunting. Flags and emblems of the company will also be on display for the first time. The members of the company will be in full dress uniform as well as the visiting officers.
Refreshments will be served by men detailed from the company. The affair will be a strictly University affair and is given exclusively by the University company of the National Guards. An admission fee of one dollar will be charged.
MODEL OF NEW BUILDING.
Plaster Paris Cast of Administration Hall Coming.
A plaster of Paris model of the new Administration building has been made in St. Louis and is now on the way from the constructor. When it arrives it will be displayed in the Chancellor's office if there is room. The model is ten feet in length and shows the building as it will appear when finally completed.
The part of the building now under construction is only the east wing. The center and the other wing will be built later when the legislature makes the necessary appropriations It is hoped to have the building as represented by the reproduction, completed by 1916, the semi-centennial of the establishment of the University.
Howard Morgan, Harry Dixon Wilbur Barnes and Earnest Brown, all of the college, who live at 1301 Vermont street walked to Baldwin last Saturday morning. They left Lawrence at 5:25 a.m., and made the trip in three hours and fifteen minutes, including stops at Vinland and Sidneyville on the way. The return trip was made by rail
Notice
Walked to Baker.
On account of a lack of lights last night, the try-out for the Sophomore farce was postponed until next Wednesday evening at 7:30.
VARSITY RAN AWAY FROM BAKER TEAM
VISITORS SCORED 14 IN LAST NIGHT'S MEET.
Tod Woodbury Alone Garnered
5 Points More Than Baker and
Broke Pole Vault Record.
The first track meet of the season, which was held with Baker University last night in Robinson gym, resulted in a defeat for the visiting team by the score of 79 to 14. The general superior training of the members of the Kansas squad was evident in nearly every event that was held. The time made in all the running events was less than the time made a year ago. One record, the pole vault, was broken.
One disagreeable feature of the running events was the fact that all the men entered jumped the gun This caused some annoying delay.
The star work for the Baker team was done by Martin, in the quarter mile race, which he won in the time of 57:2. The best point-gatherer for Kansas was C. Woodbury, who took two firsts and three seconds, for a total of 19 points. The indoor record for the pole vault and the varsity record which was made last year in the inter-class meet, were broken by C. Woodbury, who went to the height of eleven feet and four inches. The time that was made in the 2-mile run was lowered a half minute from last year's time.
"This competition which was afforded by the meet last night will serve to put new life in the ter work now in preparation for Missouri at Kansas City onMarch 10," said Coach Hamilton, this morning. "I think that opr prospects now for a winning team in the Missouri Valley conference meet this spring are good. No one in the valley will be able to beat Woodbury at the pole vault this year; I expect him to go to 12 feet as soon as we get outside for practice."
When asked regarding the Missouri meet, Hamilton said: "Missouri has a better team this year than they had last, but we have a much better team also and I expect to give them a good meet at least if we do not win."

Prof. Titchener has lately published two volumes telling of his work in this direction.
His subject for Friday is not known,but it will be more technical in nature,so will be principally for the students in the department of psychology.

LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEES BUSY WITH AXE.
Agree on $996,000 for Maintenance and All Fees Will Be Turned Into State Treasury.
The ways and means committees of the house and senate of the state legislature have agreed upon the appropriation which they will recommend for the University for the next biennium.
At a joint session last night the committees slashed off all estimates for buildings from the budget as submitted by Chancellor Strong, with the exception of $42,000 for the foundation of the next addition to the Administration building.
The sum agreed upon for maintenance is $996,000 for the two years. This amount represents positively the whole of the University's income, for all fees paid by students will have to be turned in to the state treasury. They will not be returned to the University as has been the practice heretofore A member of the ways and means committee of the house in a telephone conversation this afternoon said that the income of the University would be $50,000 more next year than it was last year. This sum will have to take care of all increase in growth and work. The $42,000 appropriated for the foundation of the new administration building will be available the second year of the biennium.
The bill will go to the house for consideration either tonight or tomorrow morning.
BLUCK A SAILOR.
Tiger Terror to Enter Annapolis Next Fall.
If "Puny" Bluck, erstwhile captain and star tackle of the Tigers, can pass his examinations successfully, he will leave his Alma Mater next fall and enter the United States military academy at Annapolis. Bluck was expelled from Missouri University last fall but reentered some time ago and recently through the efforts of K. P. Gilchrist, a former Tiger and friend of "Puny's", obtained an appointment to the military school by means of Representative Morgan, who is from Bluck's own district. Upon first receiving notice of his appointment, "Puny" did not care to go, but letters from Gilchrist finally persuaded him to accept. He will withdraw from school immediately and study for his examination in April.
The College basket-ball team will play the Fairmount team in the gymnasium Thursday evening at 8 o'clock.

Baldwin, the seat of Baker University, is confronted by a situation which illustrates the possible unfairness of exempting fraternities from taxation. The town is so small that now, when it is planning extensive improvements,the exemption of any property from taxation is keenly felt. In Lawrence the fraternity property is comparatively so inconsiderable that the higher rate which other property has to pay because of its immunity would not be noticed. However, the situation at Baldwin indicates that the law is perhaps wrong in principle. While no fraternity can be blamed for taking advantage of the law as long as it is a law, those which have gone on paying taxes are to be commended for their public spirit. Many fraternity men have expressed themselves as opposed to the law, holding that they are amply able to carry their share of the burden of taxation.
It is good to hear a talk about brains by a man who has them. Captain Waters' speech in chapel was one of the most entertaining and at the same time one of the most thought-provoking that the students have heard in many long hours of chapel going.

"Kansas."
(Extracts from an article by Prof. Carl Becker in "Turner Studies in American History.")
To understand why people say "Dear Old Kansas" is to understand that Kansas is no mere geographical expression, but a "state of mind," a religion, and a philosophy in one.
In Kansas, as has been well said, "it is the ideas of the Pilgrims, not their descendants, that have had dominion in the young commonwealth." Ideas, sometimes, as well as the star of empire, move westward, and so it happens that Kansas is more Puritan than New England of today. It is what New England, Old England itself, once was—the frontier, an ever changing spot where dwell the courageous who defy fate and conquer circumstances.
For the frontier is more than a matter of location, and Puritanism itself is a kind of frontier. There is an intellectual "West" as well as a territorial "West."
The confident individualism of those who achieve through endurance is a striking trait of the people of Kansas...Kansans have been subjected, not only to the ordinary hardships of the frontier, but to a succession of reverses and disasters that could be survived only by those for whom defeat is worse than death, who can not fail because they can not surrender... The result has been to give a peculiar flavor to the Kansas spirit of individualism. With Kansas
history back of him, the true Kan san feels that nothing is too much for him. How shall he be afraid of any danger, or hesitate at any obstacle, having succeeded where failure was not only human, but almost honorable? The Kansas spirit is therefore one that finds something exhilarating in the challenge of an extreme difficulty.
Now, Kansans are eccentric in the same sense that Americans are; they differ somewhat from other Americans, just as Americans are distinguishable from Europeans. But a fundamental characteristic of Kansas individualism is the tendency to conform; it is an individualism of conformity, not of revolt. Having learned to endure to the end, they have learned to conform, for endurance itself is a kind of conformity...Kansas, it is true, has produced its eccentrics, but there is a saying here that freaks are produced for export only. In one sense the saying is true enough, for waht strikes one particularly is that, on the whole, native Kansans are all so much alike.
Yet the patience, the calmness, the disposition to conform, is strictly confined to what is regarded as the natural course. Below the placid surface there is something fermenting which is best left alone—a latent energy which trivial events or a resounding phrase may unexpectedly release...Insurgency is native in Kansas, and the political history of the state, like its climate, is replete with surprises that have made it "alternately the reproach and the marvel of mankind." But this apparent instability is only the natural complement of the extreme and confident individualism of the people having succeeded in overcoming so many obstacles that were unavoidable, they do not doubt their ability to destroy quickly those which seem artificially constructed...A people which has endured the worst of nature's tyrannies and cheerfully submits to tyrannies self-imposed, is in no mood to suffer hardships that seem remediable.

Ober's HEAD-TO-FOOT OUTFITTERS
Kansas is not a community of which it can be said, "Happy is the people without annals." It is a state with a past. It has a history of which its people are proud, and which they insist, as a matter of course, upon having taught in the public schools. There are Old Families in Kansas who know their place and keep it—sacred bearers of the traditions of the Kansas Struggle ...The belief that Kansas was founded for a cause distinguishes it, in the eyes of its inhabitants, as pre-eminently the home of freedom. It lifts the history of the state out of the commonplace of ordinarily westward immigration, and gives to the temper of the people a certain elevated and martial quality. The people of Iowa or Nebraska are well enough, but their history has never brought them in touch with cosmic processes.
There is an alert attention to the quality of those who enter the state from outside. The crucial question is, are they "our kind of men?" Do they speak "the Kansas language?" Yet the Kansas language is less a form of speech, or the expression of ideas, than a certain personal quality. Some time ago a distinguished visitor from the East came to the state to deliver a public address. His address was attentively listened to and highly praised. But ...the great man was found wanting, for there was discovered, among his other impedimenta, a valet. It was a fatal mischance. The poor valet was more commented upon than the address, more observed than his master. The circumstance stamped the misguided man as clearly not our kind of man. Obviously.no man who carries a valet can speak the Kansas language.
Kansas is America in microcosm. Within its borders, Americanism, pure and undefiled, has a new lease of life. It is the mission of this self-selected people to see to it that it does not perish from off the earth...The devotion to the state is devotion to an ideal, not to a territory, and men can say "Dear Old Kansas!" because the name symbolizes for them what the motto of the state so well expresses, "ad astra per aspera."

JAYHAWKERS TAKE SECOND CONTEST
KANSAS WINS LAST GAME ON HOME COURT.
In Reversal of Form Heizer's Team Ran Up a Score of 37 to 12.
The Jayhawker team showed its real ability Saturday night when it outplayed the speedy Nebraska team at every point and defeated them by the overwhelming score of 37 to 12. The Cornhusker five, however, fought the contest to the end, fighting for every inch of ground that the Kansas men forced them to yield, despite the fact that Owens, their star forward, was out of the game.
As soon as the game was called the Kansas team was in the going and playing with a determination to win that was not to be daunted. It was the work of only a few minutes for the Kansas forwards to annex three field goals and thereby to obtain a lead on the visitors that was never equaled. The reversal in form in the goal shooting of Hamilton's men was phenomenal. At times the visitors attempted to outplay the Jayhawkers by rough, fighting tactics, but the men of Hamilton merely played around their opponents with team work so fast that it was impossible for the Cornhuskers to maintain the pace.
Perhaps the grilling contest of the night before had something to do with Nebraska's defeat in the second game of the series, but Kansas players say that they played just as fast a game as on the previous night.
The work of the Kansas guards in covering their forwards was unique, in that they did not allow a single field goal to be made during the first half and the playing of the entire team was so clean that only two points were gathered by the opponents when given free trials at goal. On the other hand Heizer and Stuekey vied with each other in tossing goals, each obtaining five, "Shorty" Long was the best point gatherer for the local squad, having scored four field goals and seven free throws. At no time during the game did the Nebraska center show any form in breaking up the team work of the Kansas five. The best work for Nebraska was done by Frank and Hutchins, who did all the scoring for the Cornhuskers, until near the close of the contest.

Leslies' Weekly Says He is Talked About.
Leslies' Weekly for Feb. 9, under the heading "People Talked About," prints an article about Prof. F. W: Blackmar. Dean Blackmar is another one of the professors of the University of Kansas who is being written about in the current numbers of leading magazines as a person whose ideas are new and of general interest.
Below follow a few extracts from Leslie's article:
"F. W. Blackmar, professor or sociology of Kansas University and dean of the Graduate School holds unique and original views upon leading questions of the day. He believes that there are too many churches in the rural districts and that the small salaries paid ministers leave them open to the temptation offered by every graft scheme that lifts its head to public view, offering an 'honest' and much-needed dollar to the underpaid and overworked pastor. Says Professor Blackmar: 'The competition of the various denominations frequently leads to the building of more churches than can be supported. Take a town with eight hundred people and six churches and not over half the population church-goers. Here we have six struggling congregations, with six poorly paid preachers, everything poorly organized, every church organization bearing a burden of debt and jealous competition bringing the whole Christian service into disrepute."
MANY WILL TEACH,
Junior and Senior Girls Preparing for School Work.
What are the girls of the University preparing themselves for? There are 246 juniors and seniors in the University.
Of these, 129 are juniors and 117 are seniors. Statistics show that 162 juniors and seniors are enrolled in the educational department. Does this mean that 162 out of a total of 246 juniors and seniors intend to teach? What are the remaining 84 to do? There are 23 seniors and 15 juniors in the School of Fine Arts; one senior in the School of Law one senior and four juniors in the School of Pharmacy and two seniors in the School of Medicine. There are 38 students who seem to be merely taking a straight college course.
It is evident that a great majority of the juniors and seniors have a definite purpose in view This is generally teaching.

A. S. Hiatt, superintendent of the city schools of Oskaloosa, visited W. H. Johnson, the high school visitor, Saturday.
Prof. Carl Beeker of the department of history was one of a number of contributors to a volume of studies in American history dedicated to Frederick Jackson Turner last December. The presentation of the volume was made on the occasion of Professor Turner's presidency of the American Historical association which met in Indianapolis December 27. A number of his former students at the University of Wisconsin hall collaborated in a volume of historical studies in his honor.
Profesor Beeker contributed an article entitled "Kansas," a discussion of the people of the state and their ideals. "I knew very little about Kansas history," said Professor Becker, "so I wrote an appreciation of the state and its people, discussing the relation of the state's history to the present temper of its people."
W. K. Hubbard, formerly an instructor in the School of Engineering, visited the University on Saturday. Mr. Hubbard is now city engineer of Alva, Oklahoma.

SUFFRAGETTE WILL SPEAK
Sylvia .Pankhurst Will Address Students March 15.
Miss Eugenie Galloo received a telegram Friday from the managers of Miss Sylvia Pankhurst, the daughter of Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, of London, announcing that Miss Pankhurst would address the students of the University on the subject of Woman Suffrage March 15. Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst is the leader of the suffragette movement in England and her daughter is as much interested in the work as she is. At present Miss Sylvia Pankhurst is in Canada on a lecture tour. She is a young woman about twenty-five years of age, but is already recognized as one of the leading workers in the suffragette movement. She will probably discuss the troubles that have taken place in London recently between the police and the suffragettes, and will also tell of the progress of the movement in this country. Her aunt was killed in a anti-suffragette riot in London two weeks ago. The lecture will be under the auspices of the College Equal Suffrage Association, and the town branch which is known as the Douglas County Equal Franchise League Miss Pankhurst will also make an address down town.

FAMOUS ALUMNUS VISITS UNIVERSITY
WILLIAM HARVEY BROWN OF SOUTH AFRICA HERE.
A Member of Parliament in Rhodesia, and an Author and Soldier
Last Saturday Kansas University was visited by an alumnus who came from South Africa to look again on the scenes of his Alma Mater The visitor was William Harvey Brown who graduated in the spring of 1888 and who has since traveled over the greater part of North America and Africa He first came to the University in the fall of 1882 with just a sufficient amount of money to provide for his books and board. He made the remainder of the money that he needed throughout the winter by doing chores for different families in town. The second year that he attended school he swept the hall of Fraser hall, and did other janitor work. He slept in the basement of Fraser hall and had for a roommate W. P. Cone, who is now a dentist of Hutchinson.
He was one of the speakers selected by his classmates to deliver an address at the commencement exercises. The next year he accompanied Prof. L. L. Dyche on an expedition through Colorado and northern Arizona. The two men killed two cinnamon bears on the trip Later he went to the Smithsonian Institute at Washington and had charge of the exhibit at the Cincinnati exposition.
In 1889 he went to South Africa to get specimens for the museums and arrived just in time to take part in the Matabele war. He obtained permission to take the examination for the position of assistant surgeon and was successful. He entered the service of a trading company which had large interests in the interior of the country and when the war was over he was given large grants of land for meritorious service. A second war broke out and the young man enlisted for the second time. At the close of this war he returned to the United States and when he went back he took with him Mrs William Harvey Brown, formerly Miss Martha Snow, daughter of the late ex-Chancellor Snow.
Mr] Brown is now living in Salisbury in Rhodesia, South Africa and is a member of the parliament of Rhodesia. He has written a standard book on conditions in South Africa.
Change in Caste.
There were several changes made last night in the cast of characters for the Thespian production, "The Bachelor," which is to be put on in the near future. Miss Angle replaces Miss Rankin in the lead. Miss Dilly takes Miss Eaton's part as the society lady, while Miss Eaton assumes the character role of the play. Manual Davis takes the part of "Martin," the character part of the play. Director Lotz says he thinks this is a final cast and all that is necessary now for the production is hard work.

ON SCIENCE INSTRUCTION
Doctor Moodie Told of Address Made at St. Paul.
Dr. Roy. L. Moodie, assistant professor of zoology and paleontology, spoke in chapel today in regard to the annual meeting of the American association for the Advancement of Science which he and four other members of the University faculty attended at St. Paul, Minn., during the Christmas holidays. In order to explain the nature of the organization he mentioned the meeting of scientists in York, England, in September, 1831, when the British Association for the Advancement of Science was formed. The American association was organized in 1847 and together with other associations has a purpose so similar to the English organization that their efforts are now international.
Although many Eastern scientists were unwilling to come so far West, 1,500 delegates attended the St. Paul meeting. The event which attracted the most general attention, said Doctor Moodie, was the address by the retiring president, David Starr Jordan. The subject of President Jordan's address was "The Making of a Darwin" in which he discussed some incorrect methods of modern instruction His views on some subjects might be criticised by specialists, but in the specific line of zoology, said Dr Moodie, President Jordan gave much of interest and value.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1911
SPECIAL SESSION OF CONFERENCE
NUMBER 55
MAY MEET TO DISCUSS THE BASEBALL SITUATION.
The Men's Student Council and several members of the athletic board, met in Fraser hall Tuesday night and held a conference on the baseball question. After the conference the Council met and adopted a resolution to this general effect:
Student Council Promises to Help if Less Severe Rules Are Adopted.
The Student Council will undertake to secure from candidates on the baseball team a full and truthful account of their athletic careers, provided that the Missouri Valley conference will give a reasonable assurance that it will reinstate to eligibility men who may be technically ineligible,but who in reality are amateurs.
It was suggested that a system of blanks to be filled in and affirmed by athletes be adopted.
The resolution passed with two dissenting votes.
"That plan has not been closely enforced here," said Dr. C. E. McClung. "When a man has presented himself as a candidate for a team we have taken that as his declaration that he is an amateur. But the Universities of Nebraska and Missouri, which have tried the most elaborate system of blanks and other means to determine the standing of students are the ones that have led in the movement to abolish baseball.
All Sports Involved.
"I am particularly anxious to see the students take this matter up," continued Professor MeClung, "as it is sure to have an effect not only upon baseball, but upon all other inter-collegiate sports.
"It is not a matter of the standing of men alone but involves the whole attitude of the students toward inter-collegiate sports. An assurance that the students are really interested in upholding the principles of amateur sport is needed more than anything else just now. The impression is growing that they don't care whether the men on their teams are amateurs or not, as long as they are skillful."
Conference May Meet.
Professor McClung said he would be glad to try to arrange for a special meeting of the Missouri Conference before the baseball season opens, if the Council wished to make an effort to have the men reinstated who are only technically ineligible.
After a lengthy discussion, the Council decided to take the plunge and declared its willingness to take up the question of eligibility if the Conference shows
any disposition to relax the present impossible rules. Dr. MeClung could not promise, of course, but expressed the belief that the Conference would be found willing to make changes in the rules.
The resolution adopted by the Council does not obligate it to take any very definite action. The details of its further procedure will be determined after the Conference is heard from.
A TRAINED MUSICIAN.
Harold Henry Studied in America and Europe.

BASKET-BALL TEAM LEAVES ON TRIP
NEXT TWO WEEKS WILL DE CIDE CHAMPIONSHIP.
Teams to Be Met Include Missouri K. C. A. C., Grinnell, Nebraska, Ames and Gotner.
The varsity basket-ball squad, consisting of eight men, leave this afternoon for a trip of two weeks' duration in which time they will either win or lose the championship of the Missouri Valley conference schools. The first game will be played tonight with the fast K.C.A.C. team.
The K. C. A. C. squad has been working for several days in special preparation for the game with Kansas and all prospects point to a hard contest in Kansas City. After the game at Kansas City the team will journey to Columbia and will meet the Tigers on Friday and Saturday nights. Then follow in the next week the games with Ames, Grinnell, Nebraska and Cotner. The trip will include nine games in all, and it is expected that it will prove to be one of the hardest mills that the team has beer through in recent years.
"We can lose four of the games on the trip and still have a possibility of at least tying Missouri for the championship. I think that we can take one of the games from each of the conference teams that we have to play and in case we do, there is a chance to take the honors of first place in the conference." Such was the opinion of Coach Hamilton, in regard to the prospects of the team winning the Missouri Valley championship. "Everything depends on whether or not we strike the right stride in our first games at Kansas City and Missouri. If we get to going good at the outset, we ought to have a splendid chance to defeat everything that we encounter. However, I expect to see the team defeated once or twice on the trip. There is always danger on one of the men getting hurt in one of the games and such a condition would work a hardship on the playing of the team."
The Kansas National Guard help an election for second lieutenant Tuesday evening in the gymnasium. From three candidates, Waldren, Joe Wenger and Harry Allphin, Allphin was chosen by a close vote.
National Guards Elect.
The men who will make the trip re Heizer, V. Long. Stuckey Dousman, Larson, Smith, Watson and F. Long.

WINNER OF FELLOWSHIP.
Hoffman Is Awarded Second Grant in Multiple Endowment.
Another industrial fellowship has been granted to a Kansas University student. Charles Hoffman, who holds a fellowship in chemistry at Yale from this University, has been awarded the Ward, Mackay & Co. fellowship by Professor R. K. Duncan. The donors offered some time ago a multiple fellowship, the first to pay $2,500 a year for two years, the second to pay $1,500 with the same time limitations and the third to pay $1,000 for the same number og year. Henry Kohman received the first of the endowments and Mr. Hoffman will be granted the second. The third has not been allowed.
This fellowship was endowed by the Ward, Mackey & Co., a large barkery firm in Pittsburg, Pa., and at the time of giving the regular endowment they specified that a $10,000 bonus was to be divided among the three fellows if certain things were discovered by them.
SEND Y. M. DELEGATES.
While in school here, Mr. Hoff man was a star pitcher on the varsity base ball team.
Kansas University Will Be Represented at Convention.
The University of Kansas will be represented at the twenty ninth annual convention of the Young Men's Christian Associations, which will be held in Pittsburgh, Kan., from Thursday night until Sunday night. "Dad" Herman, Fred Soper, Ross Beamer, Frank Messenger, Howard Marchbanks, and Gurnee Cross compose the University delegation. Also William Caldwell, secretary of the Haskell Y. M. C. A. will go with three Haskell Indians to the convention.
The Program contains many noted Y.M.C. A. men and leaders, such as W. A. Tenner, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. of Manila, P. I., and Dr. C. A. Barber of New York city, and C. S. Bishop, of Kansas City, Mo.
Friday's Chapel Speaker.
The chapel speaker for Friday will be Rev. Adelbert Hudson, of Newton, Mass. Rev. Hudson is now a national lecturer under the auspices of the Unitarian church. He has been a successful pastor for fifteen years and has studied theology in Harvard University. Mr. Hudson has also practiced law and at present is a member of a law firm in Sioux City, Ia.
Mathematics Club Meets.
The Mathematics club met last evening at the home of Prof. A. D. Pitcher, 325 Indiana. Prof. U. G. Mitchell discussed the subject of "Finite Groups in Finite Geometry."
UNIVERSITY POETS TO ISSUE VOLUME
WILL BE SECOND BOOK OF K. U. POEMS.
Newly Organized Poet's Club Hopes to Publish New Work by May 1.
A volume of poetry, written by University students, will soon make its appearance, if the plans perfected by members of the University Poets' club, at a meeting held Tuesday night, are carried out.
At this meeting the new literary society was regularly organized and it was voted to accept the offer of Senator J. L. Brady, editor of the Lawrence Journal, who is willing to assume 'the financial risk involved in issuing the volume.
The Poets' club is to be highly informal. It will have no rules, officers, or dues. Its main purpose will be to increase the interest in minor poets, and at the meetings to be held each Friday in the Greek museum, various of the lesser literary constellations will be read and discussed.
The only other collection of K. U. verse ever published was printed by the Journal press in 1888. It was called "Sunflowers," and among the contributors were Jas, H. Canfield, William Allen White, E. C. Little, William Herbert Carruth, Willis Gleed, and others.
The membership of the club is as follows; Gale Gossett, Adella Pepper, Anna Manley, Willard Wattles, Lon Buzick, John Shea, and Harry Kemp.
INTELLECTUAL SPARROWS.
Four Baby Birds in Fraser Hall Carefully Reared.
Whether the mother bird is really intellectual and wants to bring up her children in an atmosphere of culture, or whether the whole thing is merely accidental, is all a question. Anyway four baby sparrows are growing to bird-hood away up under the caves of Fraser in a nest built—well, to be sure it is built of straw and feathers as nests usually are. In one side, however, is a printed magazine page, bearing an article entitled, "Young Canaries; Their Care and Training."
The Barroff Recital.
The recital of Albert Borroff, a basso of Chicago, in Fraser hall, Tuesday evening was very much enjoyed and favorably spoken of by those who heard it. Miss Greissinger accompanied at the piano. His interpretation and his pronunciation of Italian and French were said to be above criticism.
Notice to all Clubs and Organizations :

A STEP BACKWARD.
The action of the ways and means committee of the Legislature regarding the University budget recalls the time when the state institutions suffered a setback under the Populist regime in Kansas. The University was many years in recovering from the effects of the short-sighted "economy" of the Populist Legislature. In fact, in an important educational sense it never has recovered from the crippling it received in that period, for other schools of which it was then the equal, now rank above the University of Kansas. Those schools received consistent support and their growth was not interfered with.
If the Legislature backs up the committees, the University is bound to suffer, and almost as much as during Populist days, Everyone at all cognizant with educational conditions is free to admit that the Populist Legislature's treatment of the University was a grievous mistake.
And just as surely as the present Legislature denies needed support to state education, it will work far reaching harm, and the fact will be recognized by all the people in days to come when there is no way of repairing the damage.
Can the Legislature of Kansas afford to face to the rear and take up its march away from progress?
Speaking of broken resolutions, where are those senior law mous taches which were to flourish without let or hindrance until Kansas triumphed over Missouri in football?
If the anti-profanity league which has its headquarters on Mississippi street, would establish branch clubs on the other side of the Hill its "spreads," which are paid for by the fines, would come at more frequent intervals.
The women of the Black Mask and the Silver Serpent, two societies of the University of Nebraska spent a day recently soliciting subscriptions for the Daily Nebraskan. The Nebraskan was compelled to cut down in size this year for lack of patronage, but apparently it still has some valuable friends.
All the departments of the University have separate seminar rooms in the library,but one and that seems to be one of the most popular courses offered on "the hill." If a student wishes to read up on economics or logic he may go into a private room which is stocked with the books which he wishes, but if he wants to talk there is no place for him to do it. The need of a social or talking seminar is commanding.
for now the students have to do the conversing in the reading rooms, at a great inconvenience to themselves.

The Horrors of War.
T. M. Godfrey, a junior in the School of Engineering, spoke before the Chemical society Wednesday afternoon. He choose as his subject the "Symthetic Jewels" and spoke of the manufacture of artificial rubies and diamonds.

Juniors Address Society.
Mr. Godfrey said, "although it is not possible to manufacture diamonds on a commercial scale,the manufacture of rubies has been so perfected that perfect stones of ten karats may be regularly obtained." These are identical with the natural rubies in chemical composition, color and optical properties.
Gilbert A. Bragg, a junior in the Engineering School, also spoke on, "Paint and Its Adulteration." He sounded a warning to the users of paints, not to buy the cheap paints sold by the mail order houses.

Thinks Council Would Act.
To the Editor of The Kansan.
To the Editor of The Kansan.
In a recent issue of The Kansan you have a criticism on what you term the inactivity of the Student Council, regarding the stand taken by that body in regard to the base ball situation. The Council has refused to try to enforce the eligibility rules. Why should they enforce them? They had no part in making these rules and have no sympathy with them, feeling as a large number of students do that the rules are foolish and unjust. If the students through their representatives had any part in making these rules, I believe that the students would see that they were enforced. The tendency in the last two years has been to take away from the students whatever control over athletics they may have had. For instance the athletic board, having a practical majority of student members, has been relieved by the Board of Regents of the responsibility of employing our coaches. Dr.MeClung, the member elected by the athletic board to represent the University in the Missouri Valley conference has also been largely relieved of his duties by this same Board of Regents. Now the students through their Council are asked to act as police and enforce the eligibility rules, but nothing whatever is said of allowing the Council to have any voice in making these rules. I think that our Council would be found active enough, were there any chance to get a decent change in the rules. Why not have some rules that could be enforced and that it would be reasonable to enforce?

HAD EASY TIME WITH FAIRMOUNT
COLLEGE TEAM WON BY A SCORE OF 29 TO 6.
Last Game on the Home Court Was Slow and Free From Rough Work.
The last basket-ball game played on the home court by the College team resulted in a defeat for the Fairmount College team last night by the score of 29 to 6. The playing was not as fast at any time of the contest as in the contest between the College and Y. M. C. A. last Saturday night, and the local men showed form in goal shooting that was far inferior to what they have done before.
The team work of both squads was loose, but the guarding near the basket was close and a number of the points of the game were made on long shots from the center of the court. The contest was exceptionally clean and free from rough work. During the entire course of the game only three fouls were called and Malleis of the College scored the only point in the free trials at goal.
Malleis and Hite were the best scorers for the arts and sciences men, Malleia tossing seven and Hite five field goals. The guarding of Plank of the Wichita five was perhaps the best work done for the Fairmount team.

INDOOR TENNIS PRACTICE.
Kansas Team to Enter Intercollegiate Tournament.
The indoor tennis tournament is to start as soon as possible in the gymnasium, so that a team may be picked for the Kansas intercollegiate tournament which is to be held May 12 and 13 at Wash burn. This will be the first year that the University team has entered this tournament, which is composed of the following schools Washburn, Baker, State Normal Southwestern, and the Kansas State Agricultural College.
The indoor tournament will be played under intercollegiate rules, although the contestants will be allowed to arrange their own matches, and will be permitted to play them out doors if they wish. However, each contestant will have to play every other man at least one match before Saturday, March 4, unless he has lost six matches, in which case he must withdraw from the tournament. No contestant will be permitted to play two matches in succession if in so doing he will prevent another match from being played in the gymnasium.
The matches are to be played under regular rules, except that a set is to be of four instead of six games. Contestants are to be required to furnish one ball apiece for each match,and at the end of each match the result will have to be immediately communicated to the office of Dr. Naismith, either by phone or on paper.
It is the object of the committee to pick the four best men from this tournament to represent Kansas in the inter-collegiate contest, for they will have to send two men for the singles and a pair for the doubles.
At Vespers Sunday.
Bishop E. R. Hendricks of Kansas City, president of the Associated Christian Enterprises of America, made the address at the Vesper services Sunday afternoon on the subject of "The Christiikenness of God." "The vocation of man is the discovery of God," said Bishop Hendricks, "and he may come to know God by studying Christ, who is a time exposure of the Father."
Bishop Hendricks named absolute truthfulness, unselfishness, and the pardoning power enabling him to present the justice of a sovereign, as some of the attributes of Christ, which show him to be the equal of God whom men worship.
At a meeting of the Pan Helenic Council held last Sunday morning a committee was appointed to draw up tentative rules regarding the methods to be used in the future by the fraternities in pledging. Up to this time no systematic plan has been used in this matter and it was thought best to adopt such a system, so that if a controversy should arise regarding pledges the council might have something to work on. The committee consists of Sears, Doyle, and McKay.

Accident to Professor Olin.
Prof. A. S. Olin is suffering from a sprained wrist as a result of a fall Saturday morning.
While helping to move some rotten timbers at his new house, one of them broke and threw him backwards, tearing the ligaments in his wrist.

IT WAS A FIGHT.
A tennis court on Adams St. might be mistaken for a Mexican battlefield except that the "dead soldiers" scattered about on it largely outnumbered those to be found on any single field in Greaserdom. The casualties were the result of a night attack the latter part of last week.
Dead Soldiers Lay Scattered on the Scene of Action.
The dead left on the field were mostly pints, with a couple of quart commanders of battalion. When attacking party retired they carried their dead and wounded with them.
A Prom Minus Men.
ITHACA, N. Y., Feb. 11.—Disgruntled because only five of their number were invited to the men's junior "prom," the remaining 395 women students in Cornell university held a "defiance dance" of their own in the gymnasium of Sage college last night. No men were admitted to the girls' party and the fee required was only 10 cents in comparison with the $5 required for admission to the juniors' ball.
Miss Ada May Harrington, of Brooklyn, was chairman of the committee which started the movement. It has been an open secret for years that Cornell men do not look with favor on the coeducational plan. This is, however, the first time that the young women became militant enough to organize an opposition event and exclude them from the function.
New Motor Received.
A new three and a half horse power motor has been received by the department of industrial research and will be set up in the basement of the Chemistry building. This motor will furnish the power for such chemical apparatus as the mixers and grinders used in the industrial department.
Rats, eats and ants are made to run through mazes of labyrinths at the University of Michigan in order to teach students their learning processes, and soon monkeys are to be added. The work is unique in that the experimentation accompanies a regular undergraduate course, whereas in the past such work has been reserved for graduate students.

STUDENTS' WIVES ORGANIZE SOCIETY
K. U. DAMES WILL BE NAME OF NEW SOCIAL CLUB.
Plan to Give Programs Every Two Weeks—Wives of Professors Are Patronesses.
K. U. Dames is the name of a club which was organized last week by a number of the wives of graduate and undergraduate students who met with Mrs. Herbert Hungerford, at 1039 Kentucky street for that purpose.Mrs. Roy Rankin was chosen president, Mrs. Herbert Hungerford vice president, and Mrs. Clifford Young secretary-treasurer. Mrs. U.G. Mitchell, Mrs. F. U. G. Agrelius, and Mrs. H. O. Kruse are patronesses of the club.
The object of the new organization is to promote sociability among the wives of students. It will meet on Wednesday afternoons every two weeks when some program both instructive and entertaining will be presented. Mrs. U. G. Mitchell has special charge of the program arrangements and has already planned to have an address by Dr. Daya stercopticon lecture by Dr. W. H. Carruth, and a talk by Mrs. R. R. Preuszner of Lawrence. The ladies will also have one meeting at which Dean F. O. Marvin will exhibit his collection of etchings to them.
The K. U. Dames will hold their next meeting Wednesday afternoon, February 22, at 3 o'clock, at the home of Mrs. H. O. Kruse, 1538 Kentucky street. The officers of the club hope to have the wives of students to whom they were unable to get a personal invitation to the first meeting, to affiliate with the new organization at that time.
Miss Alwinne Wilhelmi, who was graduated in 1908 from the College, will be married this evening at 7 o'clock at the Plymouth Congregational church, to Ray Sexton, a graduate from the College in 1905.

Of All Sad Words.
One man who fell a victim before his quizzes at the end of last term, sat down at his table and produced the following poem: Then feeling that the verse might strike a responsive chord in some other breast, he brought it to The Kansas for publication:
Ballad Pathetic.
Many hours I've spent in study; Now my eyes are giving out. And I've climbed the hill so
And I've climbed the hill so quickly
quickly That my heart's no longer stout. Oh I know I've worked in earnest And poor dad has spent his "trolls."

A clash with half a dozen police and three theater attaches followed in which many students had their heads bruised or by blows from the officers' night sticks.

Chicago Divine and President Sanders the Lecturers at Institute of Religious Education.
NUMBER 56
The Kansas Institute for Religious Education for 1911, will convene at the University the week of March 24 to March 30, inclusive. Dr. Shailer Mathews, dean of the divinity school of the University of Chicago, and President Frank K. Sanders of Washburn College will be the lecturers on the week.

"The General Character of the Social Teachings of Jesus."

In addition to his series of lectures on the teachings of Jesus, Dr. Mathews will deliver the chapel address Friday, March 24, and on Saturday, March 25 will lecture to the teachers who are assembled at the high school conference on "The Preacher and Public Opinion." He will speak as the Vesper service the Sunday following on "The Adventure of Faith."
Dr. Sanders of Washburn will give four lectures, from March 27 to March 30, on "Six Great Essentials of the Ancient Hebrews." The sub-divisions of the subject are:
"From the Disruption to the Fall of Samaria, 937 to 722 B. C."

The lectures of Dr. Sanders will be given at 3:30 in the afternoon, in the Snow hall lecture room.
The Bible Institute as the series of lectures has been called in previous years, has always attracted much attention over the state, and the idea has spread to other colleges. Usually a number of ministers from various parts of the state are in attendance at the week's discussion of religious topics.
At Myers Hall Sunday.
Reverend W. C. Payne will deliver an address at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon in Myers hall for men of the university. His subject will be, "Is Jesus Christ the Son of God?"
TO USE LABORATORIES
Town Physicians to Work at the University.
Plans are being made by the Douglas County Association of Physicians for the use of the medical laboratories of the University in connection with a course of lectures and studies which that society expects to take up this winter. A request has been made of Dean M. T. Sudler of the School of Medicine that the doctors be allowed to use the equipment here for their work that would require laboratory experiment. Dr. Sudler made the statement this morning that the University department would do all in its power to aid the association in its work.
A meeting of the members of the association will be held on Thursday evening every week beginning on March 2 for the purpose of reviewing and studying anatomy. Competent lecturers will conduct the meetings and subject that require laboratory, experiment. Membership in these classes will be limited to those physicians of the county association.
INDIAN RELICS RECEIVED.
Grinding Stones From Arizona Donated to Museum.
Robert Jordon of Light, Cohese county, Ariz., a brother of Warren Jordon, junior in the College, shipped two old Indian grinding stones to the University last week. These stones were found in the Sulphur Springs Valley, which was a camping place for the Apache Indians when Geronimo, the noted Indian outlaw, was chief of the Apache band. They are called metates, and are each about two feet long, and eighteen inches wide, and weigh about fifty pounds. Each has a groove about six inches deep running the entire ength.
The Indians used them for grinding corn meal. Mr. ohnson's gift is the only specimens of the kind in the University. H. T. Martin, assistant curator in paleontology and anthropology,is particularly anxious to get old reliess of this kind.
The University company of the K. N. G., commanded by Capt. Shifler, and the Lawrence city company, commanded by Capt. Clark, will fight a sham battle sometime in March or April, at some place near Lawrence.
To Fight Sham Battle.
Prof. Charles H. Johnston,Dean of the School of Education, will leave Tuesday for Mobile, Alabama. There he will speak before the annual meeting of the department of superintendents of the National Educational association. His subject will be "Cooperative Research in the Field of Education." He will be gone eight days.
All sorts of infantry maneuvers will be executed. Preparations are now being made for the battle. About sixty men will participate on each side.

KANSAS DEFEATED TIGERS LAST NIGHT, 32 TO 16.
PUT MISSOURI OUT OF THE RUNNING
Roughness Characterized the Game and Two Tigers Were Put Out—Beaten at K. C.
The Kansas five put the Missouri basket-ball team out of the contest for the championship of the Missouri Valley Conference, by defeating them last night in Rothwell gymnasium at Columbia by a score of 32 to 16. The only school that now stands in the way of Kansas to the fourth consecutive championship is Nebraska and Coach Hamilton's men expect to be able to win at least one of the games there. If they do they will have gained undisputed right to the first place in the conference.
Extreme roughness was the feature of last night's game, Referee Luring being forced to call 17 fouls on the Missouri men for their rough tactics. Two of the best men the Missourians have were compelled to retire from the contest on account of the personal foul limit. They were Purkhiser and Captain Cohen. The frequent fouling by the Missouri men left them no chance to win, for they were generally made good by "Shorty" Long, who tossed 10 out of the 17 free throws.
Kansas took the lead at the start and maintained it throughout the contest, the nearest that Missouri come to tying the score being in the second half when the count stood 16 to 14. Stuckey was the scorer for the local squad,making six field goals. Burress did the best work for Missouri

Lost to K.C.A.C.
Kansas was defeated on Thursday night by the strong K. C. A. C. team by the score of 41 to 40. Porter Craig tossed a basket from the center of the court in the last half minute of play. Up to this point Hamilton's men lead by a one-point lead and only the lucky shot of the Blue Diamond forward wrested the victory from the local squad. At the end of the forty-minute session the count was 37 to 37, and it was either team's
game. Three free throws on fouls gave K. U. a lead which was expected to win, but the goal goals of Goldman and Craig meted out to Kansas their second defeat on the season.
The feature of the game was the free throwing of Long, who put the ball into the basket twenty-two times out of twenty-seven trials.
TO TOUR EUROPE.
University Students Will Take Sight Seeing Trip.
A party composed of twelve young women from the University of Kansas and from some of the high schools of Eastern Kansas is planning a three-months' tour of Europe this summer. They will be in London during the coronation ceremonies. Prof. Allen A. Seipt, of the German department, and Mrs. Seipt, who will personally conduct the party, are both experienced travelers, having spent over a year abroad.
After crossing the channel the young women will visit Holland, The Hague, Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
The tourists will leave Lawrence early in June and will sail from New York for London. Here after resting from the ocean voyage and witnessing the festivities of the coronation of King George, they will see al the chief places of interest in London. A tour of England will follow including among other places Shakespeare's home at Stratford-on-Avon, Oxford University, and probably the lake region.
Thence their route will lead through northern Germany to Berlin and will include stops at Hildesheim, a town which is proud of its quaint and antique buildings, many of which are 500 years old,at Brunswick and Hamburg. An excursion by boat down the Rhine will be a feature of the trip. From South Germany, the girls will proceed indirectly to the Tyrol and Switzerland. Enroute, Leipsic with its university, Dresden with its art galleries, Nuremberg and Munich will afford both pleasure and instruction. Bern, Interlacken and Lako Lucerne will also be seen.
The itinerary will be concluded by a tour of France and a week in Paris. The party will then take ship from a French port for home, and will arrive in time for the opening of school.
The final arrangements for the personnel of the party have been left to Professor Seipt.
A piano recital will be given in the University chapel this evening by Harold Henry, the noted young musician, who was graduated from the University in 1901
The Henry Recital.
Prof. E. B. Titchener, who gave the lectures on psychology Thursday and Friday, left this morning for Iowa City. There he will speak at the State University of Iowa. From there he will go to the University of Illinois at Champaign.
FIRE DESTROYED THE OPERA HOUSE
LAWRENCE JOURNAL A TO
TAL LOSS.
Loss of $50,000. Caused by Destruction of Building and Contents This Afternoon.
Fire this afternoon destroyed the Bowersock opera house and the plant of the Lawrence Daily Journal, the law office of Judge George J. Barker, and a second hand store, which occupied other parts of the building.
The fire started under the stage possibly from a short circuit wire. The first alarm was turned in at 1:45, but the department was unable to check the flames. Within thirty minutes the fire had swept throughout the building, and everything in it was a complete loss. Only a few records from the business counter of the Daily Journal were saved.
The Lawrence Journal is edited by State Senator J. L. Brady. It is one of the oldest newspapers in Kansas, having been established over fifty years ago, during the free state struggles.
The loss from the fire will approximate $50,000.

WHICH RULES?
What is the prevailing sentiment among students about the eligibility requirements for participation in inter-collegiate athletics? There seems to be two groups, holding opposing sentiments, among the athletes themselves and the more enthusiastic "fans."
One group believes the amateur rule should be enforced, that no student who has taken pay for his athletic ability should be allowed to represent the University.This of course does not necessarily mean that they are in favor of upholding the Missouri Valley Conference rules, which at present may bar out men who are actually amateurs.
Another group believes that in baseball, at least, the amateur rule should be dispensed with, and any bona fide student who has not taken part in organized baseball should be allowed to play.
One of the supporters of the latter idea has suggested as a satisfactory method of fixing eligibility for baseball the following:
Start with a clean slate when a man enters the University, taking no cognizance of his activities in sport up to that time, unless he has been in organized baseball. From the time that he becomes a student, require him to abide by the amateur rule.
Opposed to this, the upholders of the amateur rule throughout man's entire athletic career assert
Chairman McClung of the Athletic Board has said repeatedly that an expression of opinion by the students themselves is of great importance at this time.
What is YOUR opinion about the rules that should govern our athletics?
Don't feel too sorry for the Ti ger because he has another kno in his tail. He's used to it.

A LONG SENTENCE.
But Captain Waters Won a Chapel Audience With It.
---
University students heard one of the wittiest addresses of the year a week ago when Captain Joseph Waters of Topeka addressed them. Mr. Waters talked about "Brains.' His opening sentence especially delighted his audience and in response to many requests The Kansan prints it. He said ::
Whether the origin of man was, in the Bible declares, an independent, complete and last creation of him as he now exists and confronts me this morning or as a protoplasm, wherein became associated potential atoms sufficient to form a zoophyte, by good nutrition and advantageous environment developed through the ages into an animalcule, and it, by exceptional surroundings and a fair common school education became, after long epochs, a tadpole, and it, by the survival of the fittest, after billions of aeons, lost its tail and became a toad, and it, by choice of its fellows, became the chief of the puddle, grew after a multitude of cycles to become a frog, and it, becoming entranced with its own guttural utterances, through long lapses of time, fooled with its claws until they turned to thumbs, fingers and toes, and in his extreme egotism, after uncomputed periods of time, stood himself on end and holding himself erect by the assistance of a toad-stool, pushed his forehead perpendicularly to the front from the immemorial slant, and standing with his breast inflated with air, with his stomach pouched with worms, assumed to take on the measure and being of a man, and commenced the hunt for a tailor to crease his pants, has nothing to do with the proposition I intend to talk about here.
The short of it was, Captain Waters said, that man found himself equipped with a brain and his duty was to use it. After dwelling upon the service which intellect had rendered and must still render for society, Captain Waters closed his address as follows:
Elevated by such thoughts and such an outcome, the student here should value his brain, the finest mechanism of the Creator, keep it at its best, use it to the limit for good and while he may not discover the law to overcome inertia or gravitation, or banish friction, or may not evolve a blackberry as big as the dog star, he may and will discover something for himself that shall add to human happiness, destroy vice, lessen the ills of life, and restore this benign and glorious world to its lost Eden, belted with happiness and enveloped with the everlasting graciousness of peace.

J. S. Codding, a junior in the School of Law, left for his home in Westmoreland, Wednesday.He expects to return for the spring quarter.
SONNET.
When night had closed my solitary bower
About with darkness, and the things of day
Forgotten were, and care was hid away!
Then did I climb atop the castle's tower
To wait in dreamland, till at midnight's hour
The quiet moon should silver all the gray,
Dull gabled roofs where only blackness lay.
And weave the petals of one antique flower.
Ah! beautiful it was! for nature there
Seemed jealous of the art of man, and so
Did lend her lightest touch, fantastic sweet,
That she in his domain might make more fair
His craftsmanship; teach architects to know
Hers the art primal, hers the art complete.
Reverend Hudson Spoke in Chapel Friday.
VALUE OF THE BIBLE.
"Even greater than the mistake of the man who consigned to the rubbish heap valuable manuscripts that he had inherited is the mistake of the man who for any reason discards the Bible," said Rev. Adelbert Hudson of Boston in chapel yesterday morning in speaking of the value of the Bible. "The greatest literary treasure-house in the world is the Bible. No real student of English can afford to leave it alone. Even in this lesser value the Bible can not be neglected without great loss.
"The Bible is a book of authority in religion because it has a complete record of the experiences of a race. In the last analysis we accept our own experiences as our religious authority and it is very essential that we test and supplement them by the experiences of others."
Mr. Hudson closed his address by quoting from the Bible itself concerning its value: Search the Scriptures for in them ye think and think truly—ye have eternal life.
RELIGION INTERESTS MEN
In his address on "Religion for the Men of the Day" at the Y. M. C. A. meeting Thursday evening, Dr. J. D. Richey of Kansas City, maintained that men are as much and even more interested in religion today than ever before The presentation of religion which is to secure their active allegiance must, however, be virile. Men want to know God as who is directly interested in them and will take away sin.
Dr. Richey in Favor of Church Institutions.
Although he emphasized the value of personal religion, yes Doctor Richey spoke positively in favor of church institutions, because only by such organizations can men most successfully work out the truth that they learn. He considered efforts for the social betterment of humanity to be one of the useful ways for demonstrating religion.

LIGHT FINGERS IN THE LIBRARY
PROPERTY IN CLOAKROOMS IS INSECURE.
Thefts of Clothing and Books
This Winter Approximate
$200 in Value.
The library cloak-rooms have become a privileged place where every student who wishes to do so may help himself to an overcoat or hat, or other article of dress. This is the opinion of one of the librarians of Spooner library who says that not a day passes without complaints being made at the desk that something has been taken from the cloak-room. If a total estimate could be made of the value of the articles of dress taken from the library closets this winter the amount would probably reach $150 or $200.
One of the librarians who has charge of the library at night, discover a student, not long since, going systematically through the pockets of the overcoats hanging in the closet. A partial list of those who have lost property in Spooner library only recently, follows:
Ledrue Carter, overcoat; Walter Nesbitt, hat; Arthur Johnson, two hats; Louis LaCoss, overcoat, gloves and muffler; Allan Shaw, hat; Harold Ketchem, hat
The thieves do not confine their operations to clothing alone, but are stealing an unusually large amount of books from the shelves, either to take them from the library and read them at home, contrary to the rules, or in some cases to take them, never to bring them back. The following statement was made by a librarian in regard to the thieving that is going on all the time:
"I have never seen conditions worse than they have been since Christmas. Scarcely a day passes that I do not hear complaints about missing articles. The way things are going now the only method I can see to stop this petty thievery is to place guards at either end of the cloak-room.

Men Lighter Readers, Too.
A few days ago there was an observation in The Kansan that men were steadier and more earnest readers than women. In addition to this, it also seems that they read more "light" literature also. According to the little man who sells "The Saturday Evening Post" down near the Museum, the majority of his patrons are men, and the greater number of these are law students. The average number of papers sold is 175. Thursday was a record breaker in sales, for 225 papers were disposed of before the litte boy turned his wagon around and trudged slowly down the hill
Tumblers Are Working.
The "University tumblers" are planning a very extensive tour to be made some time this spring in the eastern and northern part of the state. They are going to begin regular practice again shortly because of their appearance before the Teachers' association, which is soon to be held here. They will also appear before the entire student body, probably in the stunt day program.

TWO LECTURES ON PSYCHOLOGY
PROF. TITCHENER OF COR NELL IN CHAPEL.
Spoke on "Types of Mind" and "Memory and Imagination," Before Good Audiences.
Professor E. B. Titchener or Cornell University spoke in the chapel Thursday upon "Types of Mind." Professor Titchener is probably the leading experimental psychologist in the United States and has an international reputation.
He said that normal persons are very much alike in brain matter, more so than strangers wish to believe,but that there are those who believe that everything should be done for service, those who advocate that efficiency should be the prime aim, and those believe in research.
These may be likened to three caskets, gold, silver and lead. He said that service is noble in itself, but tie us down to present conditions and does not aim to grow nor look into the future. It deals with merely present efficiency and abolishes waste, but neither directs or inspires others while making the most of what exists. By these two principles we are held to beaten tracks, we are blinded to much that awaits the doing. The spirit of research, said Professor Titcheren, beyond the present, has a creative spirit and can carry civilization upward because of its absolute intellectual freedom.
Professor Titchener began his address on "Memory and Imagination" yesterday afternoon by saying that psychology had ceased to be purely a theoretical science as its principles are being applied in increasing measure to the consideration of practical problems. After sketching the history of experiments in the study of memory he told of those made in the Cornell psychological laboratory under his direction.
Of the experiments to discover the relations between imagination and mere perception, Professor Titchener spoke in some detail. He said that the results proved that imagination and perception are much more alike than the common mind usually believes.
In addition to experiments with visual images, Professor Titchener has made interesting observations concerning the relations between both auditory and olfactory images produced by memory and by imagination. He said the total result of his experiments proved that contrary to the general belief, memory images are variable and unstable, and imaginative images are the permanent ones. This, Professor Titchener explained, is because the imaginative image is new; it has no associates, but stands singly in the focus and hence is more permanent than the dissolving picture secured by the memory image.

Frichot, of the department of industrial research, who until recently held the fellowship in Borax, has accepted a position with the Petroleum Products Co. of Independence, Kan.

That country boys make better students than those from the city is a conclusion drawn from an analysis of the fellowships and scholarships recently awarded by the Harrison foundation of the University of Pennsylvania. Out of thirty-two men holding these honors, sixteen come from towns of less than 6,000,four from towns of less than 15,000, three from cities of less than 50,000,four from cities of more than 100,000. This list does not include four from Philadelphia and one from a suburb of Baltimore.

CAPTAIN HEIZER FAILED IN ONE COURSE.
Prof. McClung Explains Why Failure Did Not Bar Him From Basket-Ball.
Another question that must be raised between the members of the Athletic Board and the Student Council concerning the eligibility of University athletes will be concerned with the case of Robert Heizer, captain of the 'varsity basket-ball team.
Captain Heizer has a flunk registered against him in one of his history courses. Ever since quiz week was at an end the rumor has been going among the students that the basket-ball captain was ineligible for the game.
A Kansan reporter had a talk with Prof. C. E. MeClung today regarding the case of Captain Heizer. In answer to a remark that the students were wondering why a man with a flunk against him was away representing the University in Athleties, Professor MeClung said he had applied to Heizer's case the agreement he had made with athletes and coaches to give each man two weeks' notice when he was doing failing work, before taking him from a team.
"Owing to the faulty working of the system by which failure reach the eligibility committee," said Professor McClung, "I did not hear of Heizer's failure until a week after quizzes were over. I immediately notified him that he would be ineligible for spring athletics. I did not think his failure would apply to basketball, because the conference had made a special provision for basket-ball, in view of the fact that the game is played in two term of the year. The rule provide that when the three years of a man's participation in athletics expires at the end of the first term, he may be allowed to finish the basket-ball season. Therefore I appiled the practice of the two weeks' notice in this case. I should have done if it had happened in the course of one term.
"The conference has a rule which sets the minimum number of hours a man must carry at twenty during the year. Heizer has completed twenty-seven hours in the last year, so he has passed in enough work to satisfy conference requirements. From the point of view of the conference he is eligible to play."
Douseman of the team is said to have a condition against him but to have passed in enough work to make him clearly eligible.
Professor Carl Becker criticised the system of reporting on the standing of athletes to the disciplinary committee. "Mr. Heizer failed in one of my courses," he said. "A statement of his standing in the course could have been obtained long before the end of the term, but none was asked for. To my mind, the two weeks rule in this case has defeated the object of eligibility requirements."
KANSAS BEAT AMES
The basket-ball game last night between Ames and Kansas resulted in a victory for the Jayhawkers by a score of 37 to 36.
TO SERVE SOCIETY.
Professor Price Urged Students to That Ambition.
The opportunity and the obligation of men and women, especially college graduates, to be useful to society, was the theme of Prof. R. R. Price of the department of University extension in his talk in chapel this morning. To those people who really wish to give something of value to the world, Professor Price would present the admonition of the Hebrew prophet to his people to do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with their God.
"If a man violates the basic principle of justice between men it will not materially help society if in later life he endows universities and establishes libraries. Such gifts are hollow mockery from a man if he does not deal justly with his fellow men," said Professor Price in speaking of the first division of his subject.
His interpretation of the injunction to love mercy was that it is the duty of all to take part in some altruistic effort. To sneer a reformers is a great mistake, maintained Professor Price, because they are needed to solve the problems of the day.
The last part of the prophet's message Professor Price said was in the nature of a requirement that a reformer should have no pride of person in an effort to get things done or insist that reforms come in his own way. He wished that the students might be so useful to society that it could be said of them as it was of a great English architect, "If you are seeking his monument look about you."
HOUSE BUDGET IS INCREASED $20,000
UNIVERSITY MAINTENANCE RAISED TO $865,000.
Student Council Will Write to Legislature, Asking Support fro the University.
At the meeting of the Student Council last night it was decided to send letters to the members of the Kansas legislature who are interested in the University, asking them to use their best efforts in the approaching struggle for appropriations. It is hoped that the members of the legislature can be made to see that anything whi cripples the University is directly against the interests of the students, both of the present and the future.
The bill for University appropriations in the lower house has been increased by $20,830, tacked on to the general maintenance fund. This increases the appropriation for maintenance from $844,170 to $865,000.
Chancellor Strong prepared a statement the last of the week, showing the inadequacy of the proposed maintenance fund, with the fee diverted from the University and applied to general state purposes. Chancellor Strong's contention is that the proposed sum will not provide for the increased attendance which the University is justified in expecting in the next biennium. The statement follows:
Comparative statement of income for General Maintenance University of Kansas.
The present income of the University of Kansas for General Maintenance for the biennium 1909-11 is as follows:
1. From appropriations $716,971
From fees by students as tuition 78,437
From interest on land fund 14,400
Present total for Gener- al Maintenance $809,808 or about $170 per capita on the following enrollment:
1909-10 - - - - - 2303
1910-11 - - - - - 2450
Total 4159
2. Under the appropriation proposed by the committee the total which would go to General Maintenance for the biennium 1911-13 would be as follows:

NO SCHOOL TOMORROW.
Library to Be Closed All Day Wednesday.
Because George Washington, who chopped down a cherry tree and later became the Father of his country, was born on the twenty-second of February, tomorrow will be a legal holiday, and no classes will be held at the University.
"Practically all buildings on the hill will be closed tomorrow." said Secretary E. E. Brown. "The library will close at 10 this evening and will not reopen until Wednesday morning."
The holiday tomorrow will be the first since the Christmas vacation, and will give those students who still have an after-quizz-week headache a chance to recover. Some of the patriotic professors have assigned no lessons for Thursday classes, while others have given out double assignments just as a hint to students that holidays should not interfere with University work.
Many of the students who live near Lawrence will go home for the holiday. The rest will spend their time taking in the "nickles" and making up back work.
SOPHOMORE CAST.

OPERA HOUSE FIRE NECES SITATED CHANGE.
"The Bachelor," the play that will be presented by the Thespian Dramatic club of the University on Wednesday and Thursday nights of this week, will be put on in Fraternal Aid hall, because of the destruction of the opera house, where plans had been made for the play. This is to be the fifth production of the club and promises to be a great success. The business manager, George Richardson, has spared no means in making preparations complete. A trip was made to Kansas City where two sets of special scenery was secured from the Willis Wood for arranging the background of the stage. The work of the stage direction has been in care of Henry B. Lotz, director of the Auditorium theater of Kansas City, and regular rehearsals have been held to guarantee a successful rendering of the play.
Two Sets of Special Scenery Secured From Willis Wood for Production.
The play is a bachelor love story in which David Holmes, the bachelor, and Sylvia, play the most important parts. This play was staged several years ago under the name of "A Bachelor's Romance."

KANSAS WOULD GO AHEAD.
KANSAS WOULD GO AHEAD If the people of Kansas, after mature deliberation upon all the facts of the situation, could pass upon the question of the School of Medicine of the University there is not the slightest doubt that they would vote to build up the School to the highest state of efficiency as rapidly as the resources of the state would allow. They would not decide upon a course of action that would involve the abandonment of a plant worth thousands of dollars and result in the withdrawal of the state from the promotion of medical science. Some day there must be a School of Medicine which will serve efficiently the great territory of this part of the Missouri Valley. The University has made a substantial and considerable beginning toward providing such a school. In such a work of service to humanity the state has gone far enough already to have rendered great benefit. It can not afford to give up now and retire from the field.
Checkers is one of the games said to be growing in popularity among the students of the University.
The Student Council might pass resolutions to the effect that no peanuts or paper should be thrown from the gallery of the new Bowersock opera house.
That sentiment in the student body which is willing to see athletic victories gained even at the cost of playing ineligible men will be found to be confined within very narrow limits.
The piano recital given by Harold Henry, a graduate of the University, Saturday evening, was an important event to the music lovers of Lawrence and to the University. It illustrated on of the best things to which the energies of the University are devoted—the fostering of the fine arts. Mr. Henry's genius was not supplied by the University, but his training was. It is no small honor and credit to the University that one of the few great American pianists is numbered among its alumni.

ALL EYES ON ANDOVER.
Eastern Academy Will Try a Move Toward General Athletics.
The recently announced innovation in the policy of Phillips Andover Academy toward school sports is worthy of more than passing notice, says the Yale Alumni News. Andover will try next fall the experiment of laying stress on interclass football, and of treating the school team as an aggregation of the best players, not as the only aggregation of players. The results of this experiment will be awaited with much curiosity by rational followers of American school and college sport. While the conditions are not identical, because of age and physique, there is much similarity between the athletic situation in a college or university and that of a large school—particularly, of course, the large private school. The ideal arrangement would be to have the strongest possible intercollegiate teams and at the same time have the strongest possible general athletics. The balance, however, has been hard to keep, and so at many American colleges we see football for instance, practically restricted to one group of men—the varsity squads—out of which the varsity teams are chosen, with the under-graduates at large letting the sport severely alone. Baseball is somewhat better balanced, and Yale Field, for instance, sees every year plenty of scrub baseball played for the fun of it. Andover proposes, in football, to call out the 250 or more men who like the game, divide them into class groups and then into smaller groups according to age and strength, and match these teams against each other in a kind of school tournament, selecting the best eleven men for the school team from all of these squads only a short time before the Exeter game. This team will then play the Yale and Harvard Freshmen, probably, for practice and then go up to the annual championship. This plan should bring out every able-bodied boy in the school and create a very general football interest, which, because it is diffused over all the boys instead of centered on the school athletic leaders, should be far less nervous and exciting and injurious than it now is. The move is in the right direction toward general athletics—and is one of the most promising developments in American school life that we have noted in a long while.
"WE HAVE NO POETS."
Hence the Lebo Seniors Send to University for Yells.
Ralph Spotts, University cheer leader, has received a letter from the cheer leader of the senior class of the Lebo high school, one of the girls of the class, asking for suggestions for yells and class songs for the Lebo seniors. "I am writing to you because we have no poets in our school," says the letter.
It is possible that Mr. Spotts will enlist the services of the newly organized K. U. Poet's club in behalf of the songless and yellless Lebo students.
Miss Edith Dabb, the national secretary of the Young Women's Christian Association among the North American Indians, spoke before the girls of the University Monday afternoon at Westminster hall. Her talk was of her work among the Indian women.

BANQUETSATURDAY FOR ENGINEERS
ELEVENTH ANNUAL AFFAIR OF KIND ON FEBRUARY 25.
Toasts and Stunts Will Be Giver
—Four Hundred Plates Arranged for.
The eleventh annual banquet of the Engineering School will be held next Saturday night at Robinson gymnasium. Heretofore this banquet has been given during the fall term, but this year the engineers decided to start a custom of having the affair come on the date of the dedication of the new Engineering building, February 25.
All the plans have been made and those in charge of affairs say that it will be the biggest event of the kind ever attempted at the University. About four hundred plates at $1.50 each have been arranged for, and the advance sale of tickets indicate that fully that number will attend. In addition to the toasts and speeches, each branch of the Engineering School will give a stunt. The exact nature of these stunts, however, is kept secret.
The decorations will be in charge of the Electrical Engineers. They will make an unusual and original electrical lighting effect the feature of the decoration. The supper will be served in six courses. Mrs. Julia Wiley, a caterer from Topeka, has been en gaged to furnish the dinner.
The banquet will be a stag affair and only engineers will participate. Even the waiters are to be chosen from the Engineering School. Prof. J. N. Van der Vries will act as toastmaster. Following is a list of the speakers and their subjects:
Carl Pleasant, '09, city asphalt inspector at Kansas City, "My First Professional Scrimimage;" Prof. H. P. Cady, "Thermo-Dynamics of the Future;" Chester A. Smith, '04, associated with Burns & McDonald, construction engineers of Kansas City, "Why I Choose Sanitary Engineering; Prof. Geo. C. Shaad, "Factors; Lieut. Col. J. E. Kuh, engineering corps at Fort Leavenworth; "Points of Contact;" Dean F. O. Marvin, "The Dean wishes to see you in his office;" Mike Lynch '11, "Erin Go Bragh"; J. W. Malecolmson, consulting engineer from Kansas City, "Reminiscences of Mexico;" Prof. E. Haworth "Improvements Worth While;" Geo. W. Russell, '11, president Engineering School, "Why we need an Engineering Day."
The chairmen of the committees, who, with their fellow committeeemen and many others from the Engineering school, have all worked to make the affair a success, are: Mike Lynch, finance committee; Chas. McWhorter program committee; Fritz Broker, arrangement committee; Car Hanson, refreshment committee.
Will Mount New Specimens.
The paleontological department is now working on an Ichthyodetes, a large fish, almost eight feet long. The specimen was found among the chalk beds of Trego county during the summer of 1909. It is being made into a slab mount to be placed at the head of the stairway in the Museum by the side of its relative, a Portheus, exceeding fifteen feet in length, for comparative study. It will be the first complete specimen of its kind that has ever been mounted in any museum.
PAPERS CONSOLIDATED.
'Lawrence Journal-World' Result of Saturday's Fire.
For several years Lawrence has been "long" on daily papers Paragraphers all over Kansas have been fond of suggesting as a means of employment for expressidents, ex-assistant superintendents of ventilation, ex-pugilistic champions, and others for whom no sphere of action could easily be found, that they "start another daily paper in Lawrence." Presumably the joke has run its course now that the Lawrence Journal and the World have consolidated, leaving but two daily papers in the field. The consolidation was effected as a result of the Bowersock opera house fire, which destroyed the Journal plant, Saturday afternoon.
For some time the merchants of Lawrence have been urging the two newspapers to combine, but the physical valuation of the two plants was such that the proprietors figured they could not make it profitable.
State Senator Brady, who has edited the Journal, and W. C. Simons, editor of the World, will both retain connection with the "Journal-World," as the new paper will be called.
QUAKES RECORDED HERE.
Thirty-Minute Tremor on Monday Afternoon.
The seismograph at the University recorded severe earthquake tremors yesterday afternoon. Preliminary tremors began at 1:06 p.m. and lasted for thirty minutes being well-defined in a north and south direction. The second preliminary tremors began at 1:30 and lasted twenty-five minutes, the direction being east and west. The distance seemed to be apparently 6,500 miles.
Georgetown University seismograph recorded a severe set of shocks Saturday, which began at 2:31 p. m. and continued to 3:03 lasting in all thirty-three minutes. Distance 3000 miles in an easterly direction.
The St. Louis University seismograph also recorded severe shock; Saturday afternoon, beginning at 1:22 p. m., and lasting till 2:10 p. m. The distance was computed to be about 3000 miles in an eastern direction.
Neither the One Nor the Other at M. U. Prom.
NO CABS, NO FLOWERS.
According to the committee in charge of the dance the young women who go to the Junior Prom at the University of Missouri this year, will carry no flowers. The reason for this change is that the flowers are too expensive at this time of the year.
The use of cabs is also barred because, as the committee says the University is a democratic school and the frat men have boys atted the Columbia liverymen on account of the charges.

As compared with five years ago, the registration of the Yale general catalogue, just published, shows some interesting changes. The increase of students from 3,208 to 3,282 is only about 2,1-3 per cent. The total number of officers of instruction and administration rises from 416 to 506, or about 21 per cent. The number of officers of instruction alone rises from 360 to 410, or about 14 per cent. In the same time the number of full professors and other university officers of the same rank has risen from 110 to 126.
In order to accommodate the large crowds that desire to attend the big Yale-Harvard annual gridiron struggle, certain individual members of the Athletic Committee of that intitulation are suggesting that a Coliseum could be built for 30,000 more. It is said the big arena could be built for $650,000. A further suggestion is that the finances could be arranged by selling stock at $100 per share; the stock to be divested of voting power, thus leaving the control of the stadium in the hands of the Athletic Committee. Objection has been raised to expending this sum of money for just one large annual game, for at no other event than the Yale-Harvard meet could the stands be filled with a crowd large enough to pay expenses. This large expenditure has been justified on the grounds that the Coliseum could be so arranged that it could be used for musical and dramatic purposes as well as for the foot ball game; also by projecting a cinder path through it, it would be available for the inter-college track meets. No definitive plan for construction has as yet been considered by the Athletic Committee.

TRAINING HELPS GENIUS.
And Newspaper Workers Are no Exception to the Rule.
Yale Alumni Weekly.
There has been much said of date about the value of college training for journalists. Mr. Herbert W. Horwell in an article on "The Training of the Journalist," in the January Atlantic Monthly inclines to the view that journalists are born, not made. He says: "Whatever may be the future development of journalistic education, one thing is certain—journalism will never become a close profession. Courses of study may be organized whose certificates and diplomas will come to be accepted by editors as prima facie evidence of aptitude for certain kinds of newspaper work. But no trade union will ever prevent an editor from printing matter that suits him, whether the contributor is a Bachelor of Journalism or not. Whatever privileges journalistic or other graduates may attempt to secure, a memorable utterance of Mr. J. Noble Simms, that delightful character in Mr. Barrie's 'When a Man's Single' will long remain true. The calling of a writer for the press will still be open to everybody who has access to pen, ink, and paper, with a little strawberry jam to faster the pages of manuscript together.' This perhaps is true if somewhat qualified. Men often achieve success in many different things without undergoing specific training first. But it will usually be found upon investigation that they trained them selves, so the total effect is not altered by Mrf Horwell's theory. The heaven born genius is a popular hero of fiction to which the public cling with peculiar fondness, since every man rather suspects that he himself has some lurking qualities of this nature And yet the fact remains that very few reach any goal by a short cut. Even a heaven born genius is more useful after he have trained.

FOURTH DEFEAT FOR MISSOURI
KANSAS TAKES LAST BY A 36 TO 25 SCORE.
Cornhuskers Can Scarcely Stop the Jayhawkers Now—Long and Stuckey Star.
The fourth consecutive basketball championship was practically made sure for Kansas Saturday night when Missouri was defeated by Kansas for the fourth time this season by the score of 36 to 25. The team that now looks big to Hamilton's pets is Nebraska and it is expected that the K. U. men will have the Cornhusker style of play solved by the time they fight the last games of the season and will win both contests. In case one game is dropped to the Nebraska men, Kansas will still be in the lead for the championship.
The Kansas squad was forced to go to their limit in the contest, for Missouri discarded their rough "hammer and tongs" style of play and put up a snappy game that required fast playing to win the contest. Edwards and Burress, the Missouri guards, allowed themselves to be drawn up the court toward their own goal and a number of Kansas baskets were made by quick returns to the Kansas end of the court to an uncovered man who unfailingly tossed the basket. The first half ended with the score 26 to 21 in favor of the local squad.
Missouri came back strong in the second half and two baskets in quick succession reduced the Kansas lead to one point, but the Jayhawker men braced and quickly accurate passing soon put them in the lead and from then on till the close of the contest the Kansas men ran away from the Tiger team. Many times during the game applause was drawn from the crowd of Missouri rooters when Hamilton's men executed a brilliant series of passes, which ended in one of the forwards tossing the basket for Kansas.
Stuckey did the most scoring for Kansas, while "Shorty" Long was unexcelled in his work on the court in breaking up the opponents' team work and stopping their dribbles toward their basket Cohen, one of the Tiger forwards, starred for his team, accepting many difficult chances at field goals. The team work of the visiting boys threw Missouri in a sort of maze, and their exhibition of playing together was considered poor.

Secretary H. C. Herman, Fred Soper, Frank Messinger, Howard Marchbanks, Ross Beamer and Gurnie Cross returned yesterday from Pittsburg, where they have been attending the State convention of the Y. M. C. A. since Thursday of last week. The convention was attended by about 225 delegates and was one of the best of its kind in recent years. Dr. Clarence A. Barbour, international secretary of the Y. M. C. A., was the principal speaker on the program. A. A. Hyde, of Wichita was also in attendance.
MAKE YOUR DATES.
Y. M. Convention Successful.
The date for the Sophomore Prom, which will be held at Robinson Gymnasium, has been set for April 7, and the committee will attempt to follow as much as possible the methods pursued by the Sophomore Prom last year.
Sophomore Prom Is Now Under Way.
All senior men who have paid their Prom dues when they were sophomores will not be charged for their tickets; all senior men who did not pay will be charged $1.50. All sophomores and others will be charged the regular price $2.50.
It is hoped by the management of the Prom that it will be the best yet given by any class. The farce, under the direction of Miss Mossler, is well under way, and gives promise of being exceptionally good.
Hand all dates to any of the following: Carl Krehbiel, Clay Dodge, Gladys Clark, George Babb, Georgia Cotter, Harry Ketterl, Leland Angevine, Ray Soper, Walter Moore, or Malcolm McNaughton.
MILITARY HOP TONIGHT.
Unique Affair to Be Given by K. N. G.
The first annual military hop will be given this evening in the Robinson gymnasium by the University K. N. G. Arrangements are being made for the reception of a hundred couples. Thirty officers of the regular army and of the National guards will be here from Tpeka and from Leavenworth.
The music will be by Shanty's orchestra of seven pieces. However, the university band will play national airs during the intermissions. They will also play the grand march, which will start a 8:30. The march will be led by Adjuntant General Martin of Topeka, who will be the highest ranking officer present.
The balcony of the gymn-simm will be draped with red, white and blue bunting and with flags and emblems of the company. The members will be in full dress uniform. The guests will not be expected to wear dress suits.
Orderlies, detailed from the company will patrol the building to act as guides. Others will serve the refreshments.
The price of admission to the floor will be one dollar and to the gallery a quarter.

When is only about 5 per cent increase when the Committee intended a per cent of increase as great is the per cent of increase in enrollment, which would call for (13.6 per cent) $110,079
In other words we could not keep up with our increase of enrollment with basis of 5 per cent increase. Please note the following:

This expectation of enrollment is conservative, for the average for the past six bienniums (or twelve years) has been 515 and twice has been over 700, and the number graduating from high schools is rapidly and largely increasing.
4. This allows simply for keeping things exactly as they are and allows for no expansion whatever—no new work, no new methods, no cutting down of classes; and such a policy would forever forbid the improvement of an institution.
5. Therefore the University asks and urgently calls for the per cent of increase in the amount it can use for General Maintenance equal to the per cent of increase in its enrollment or $110,079 instead of $48,762.
6. It is also urgently calls for $17,683 more to go to improvement in teaching, for replacing old apparatus, for dividing classes that run as high as 60 to 120 each, for the employment of a woman physician, for new lines of work, etc., etc.
7. The maintenance budget for the present year (the last year of the present biennium) is $423,000, and on the basis proposed by the House Committee the average each year of the coming biennium would be only $429,285 making necessary a very serious
setback to the University.
8. This restoration of amount of income to that asked by the University can be accomplished by the restoration of the fees charged as tuition ($79,000) or by an appropriation of a like amount by the legislature.

KANSAS DROPS ONE GAME TO GRINNEL
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23.1911
IN CLOSE CONTEST IOWA FIVE WINS 17 TO 16.
Jayhawkers Beat Ames a Second Time—After Cotner Tonight Comes Nebraska.
A
The Jayhawker basket-ball five met its third defeat of the season at the hands of Grinnell College last night by the score of 17 to 16. Telegraphic reports are so meager that very little is known about the game. However, the score indicates that the contest was fast and close throughout. It is not known whether Hamilton played some of the substitutes in this game with a view of resting the regular tossers for the Nebraska game or not.
The second contest with Ames resulted in a victory for the local five by the score of 28 to 17. On account of a mistake by the telegraph operator the score was first announced as 78 to 17 in favor of Kansas, but the correct report as given out by Manager Lansdon this afternoon is 28 to 17. It is thought that Coach Hamilton started the first Ames game with several of the substitutes and was later forced to put the regular men in the contest to win the game. Tuesday's count would seem to show that the Jayhawkers played the Iowaans off their feet and then ran the score up to suit themselves.
The team meets Cotner University at Lincoln tonight and on Friday and Saturday night play the final contests of the season with the Cornhuskers. The games will not decide the championship of the Missouri Valley conference, because Kansas made it certain that that honor would rest with the Sunflower state by defeating Missouri and Ames in all four games that were played with them.
Coach Hamilton said before the team started on the trip that he thought the Kansas team had solved the Cornhuskers' style of play and that he expected the mer to win both games. Both the Cotner game tonight and the Grinnel contest do not count in the Missouri conference championship.
THURSDAY'S SPEAKER.
H. W. Charles of Topeka will speak under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. at 6:45 Thursday evening. He has chosen as his subject "Men in the Making."
Topeka Superintendent Will Speak on Boy Problems.
The seniors in the department of expression of the School of Fine Arts rendered "The Piper's Pay" at 3:30 this afternoon for the benefit of the Settlement house, in East Lawrence.
Mr. Charles is the superintend ent of the Boy's Industrial Schoo and has had a great deal of experience in this line of work.
OFF ON WEEK'S TRIP.
College Team Will Play Six Games With Smaller Schools.
Athletic relations between the University and several of the smaller colleges of Kansas will be resumed upon the basket-ball floor when the newly organized College basket-ball squad makes its trip next week. Since the ruling of the Missouri Conference limiting conference schools to eighteen games went into effect, athletic relations between the University and some of the strong schools of the state have been restricted to baseball, so that it is expected that the initial tour of the department team will be beneficial in creating a cordial feeling between the University and other Kansas schools.
The College team has won all of the games it has played this season, with the exception of the contest with the Kansas City Y. M. C. A. Tiger team at Kansas City. The men expect to win all the games of their trip, but they are expecting to be forced to their limit at both Florence and Chilooco. The game at Florence will probably be played under the A. A. U. rules and this will place the University men at a disadvantage.
The games that will be played are: Florence Y. M. C. A. at Florence on Friday night, Chilooco Indians on Saturday, Friends University on Monday, at Wichita, Fairmount College on Tuesday night at Wichita, the Bethany "Swedes" at Lindsborg on Wednesday night, and St. Marys College on Thursday night. The men who will make the trip are Hite, Nesbit, Malleis, Eisele, Young Carpenter, and Beamer. Manager Lanson will accompany the squad.
Not Hurt by Co-Education.
Professor George B. Mead, 69 the philosophy department of Chicago University, will deliver the annual Phi Beta Kappa address on Friday evening, March 3. Mr Mead is an excellent talker and comes with a national reputation as a speaker.
The speech will be open to the public and all members of the University are invited.
The catalogue of Bates colleges gives the names of 271 men and 207 women and shows that co-education has not made the college less popular with the men and the Greek and Latin Courses are surprisingly popular. The percentage of the increase of men is larger than that of the women. The young men of the college are obliged to study argumentation and must take part in public debate.
Phi Beta Kappa Speaker.
Professor F. W. Blackmar, dean of the Graduate School, returned Tuesday morning from a ten days business trip to San Francisco, Cal. While away Professor Blackmar visited both Stanford and California Universities.
LECTURE SERIES ON CIVIC PROBLEMS
DR. CHARLES ZEUBLIN WILL BE HERE IN APRIL.
Is a Noted Lecturer on Municipal Problems—Will Give Five Talks.
A series of lectures of more than ordinary interest to the University,was announced this morning by the committee on University lectures. Dr. Charles Zuoblin of Boston, Mass., a member of the National Municipal League and of the American Civic Association, and ex-president of the American League of Civic Improvement, will speak at the University during the week beginning April 24. He will give lectures every afternoon at 4:30 in the chapel on the subject of the problems of the twentieth century. The titles of the lectures will be, "The New Civic Spirit," "The Training of the Citizen," "The Making of the City," "The Administration of the City," and "The Life of the Citizen."
A long career of activity in municipal problems has made Dr. Zueblin an authority on the subjects he will treat at the University. He was a member of the Chicago special park commission from 1901 to 1905 and held other positions in Chicago. He was professor of sociology in the University of Chicago from 1892 to 1908, and became noted in that time as a lecturer. He is now traveling independently a as publicist.
Dr. Zueblin attended the University of Pennsylvania. He holds the degrees of bachelor of philosophy from Northwestern University and of Doctor of Divinity from Yale. He studied abroad at the University of Leipsic.
Company Will Make Hop an Annual Affair.
K. N. G. BALL SUCCESSFUL.
The University company of the Kansas National guards gave their annual military hop Tuesday night in Robinson gymnasium. The main floor was decorated with the national and regimental colors while red, white and blue bunting hung from the balcony. Strict military discipline was observed throughout the evening. Orderlies were detailed at every turn to assist the guests. Officers and privates were in full dress uniform. On account of the inclement weather no out-of-town guests were present. It is the intention of the company to make the hop an annual affair. Shanty's orchestra of seven pieces furnished the music.
Miss Helen Hughes, daughter of Judge Charles E. Hughes, of the supreme court, is a Vassar sophomore. Like her mother, she is very clever at mathematics, and is very fond of reading, like he father.
UNIQUE CHEMISTRY LUNCH
St. Peter's Cafe Entertained U. L.
C. Club.
The members of the St. Peters Cafe organization of the department of chemistry entertained the You Live Chapel club with a luncheon this noon in the office of Prof. H. P. Cady. The U. L. C. club is composed of members of the faculty of the various departments who usually take their noon meal on the hill. The place cards at the luncheon table were drawings on the table cloth which characterized in some way the work that the member is carrying on. For Dr. Naismith the place card was a drawing of a basketball. The place of Professor Dockery of the department of psychology, was designated by a picture of a brain; and the seat of Miss Hosford of the department of biology was made known by a green bug.
The guests at this unique entainment were Dr. James Neis smith, Professors F. H. Raymond E.F. Stimpson, T. T. Smith, and F.C. Dockery. Those who aranged the luncheon were Professors H. P. Cady, Florence Hedger, and H.J. Broderson.
The plates upon which the three course dinner was served were evaporating dishes; the coffee cups were casseroles and beakers served as glasses. The cooking for the luncheon was done by some of the members of the chemistry department on the electrical apparatus and over the bunsen burners.
ENGLISH READINGS.
Last of Successful Series Will Be Given Tomorrow.
An interesting feature of the work in freshman literature for this year has been a series of readings by members of the department of English.
Prof. Johnson read from Dante,
Miss Gilbreath from Lamb's Essays;
Mr. Forsythe from "The
Knight of the Burning Pestle."
The last of the series will be given tomorrow at 4:30 in room 116, Fraser hall. Mr. Stelter will read from Shakespeare's King Henry the Fourth, Part two.
Student on Lecture Tour
Engineer's Day.
An idea which originated at the University of Kansas will be carried out on March 31, and will be known as Engineer's Day. This day is to be a holiday for engineers only. A parade, athletic stunts and a feed will be the program for the afternoon, to be followed by a dance in Robinson gymnasium in the evening.
Fred E. Lee, a senior in the College, left Wednesday afternoon for Columbus, Kan., where he will deliver an illustrated lecture, "The Passion Play of 1914 as I Saw It," under the auspice of the Cherokee county high school. Mr. Lee will deliver the same lecture Friday night at Hallowell and at Crestline on Satur day night.
THESPIANS GAYE "THE BACHELOR"
SUCCESSFUL PERFORMANCE IN F. A. A. HALL.
Will Be Staged Again Tonight
—A Pleasant Play Presented Pleasingly.
There were no calls from the gallery for "Boola" at the Thespian club play last night, but otherwise the sudden change made necessary by the burning of the Bowersock opera house was not noticeable. The production of "The Bachelor" was accomplished with rather fewer than usual for the hitches looked for in amateur plays, despite the fact that the stage conveniences in F. A. A. hall are meager, and the cast of the play was working upon a stage to which it is unaccustomed.
Fortunately "The Bachelor" is a play which can be staged with out elaborate scenery. The stage of Fraternal Aid hall had been supplied with sufficient accessories to make a creditable setting. The minor details of the setting had been well worked out.
"The Bachelor" is the story of a literary reviewer and his ward Claude Sowers took the part of the leading man and depicted the literary critic with ability and real delicacy and restraint. Everett Brummage as Mulberry, a quaint old bibliophile, was remarkably successful in his part. Of the feminine characters. Lola Eaton, as an acerbulous maiden lady, was the most successful. Brownie Angle, who played the part of the ward, has an engaging stage personality and her work was favorably received by the audience. Ethynne Williford and Edith Renn had the other feminine parts. Solon Emery, Manvel Davis, Alston McCarty and "Ike" Lambert were the other members of the cast.
The audience which saw the play last night about half filled the house. The performance will be repeated tonight.
ARE INTERESTED.
Disciplinary Committee Pursuing Gambling Investigation.
Although the Student Council has decided not to look further into the charges of gambling among students which were filed last week, the disciplinary committee of the University has shown considerable interest in the state of affairs which was disclosed. "We have taken no action as yet, except to question one or two men" said a member of the committee yesterday. "but we expect to keep in touch with the situation and find out all there is to be learned."
The ladies of the faculty entertained the girls of the University at a tea in the classical museum this afternoon.

Speaking of appropriations for what we are about to receive, may the Lord make us truly thankful.
Everybody is glad that the long weeks of discussion and worry over the appropriations for the University are drawing to a close. The indications are that the University will fare badly this year. The proposed appropriations do not allow for the probable growth of the University. The next two years will be a sort of breathing spell, a marking time, while the institutions in other states are forging ahead at the normal rate.
It is reported from Topeka that Senator Brady's bill repealing the law which exempts fraternities from taxation was killed in committee. No demonstration was made over the demise of the bill. It died a very quiet death. The fraternity men of the University were confident from the first that they had sufficient influence in the Legislature to do away with the bill in this way. It will be remembered that some of the fraternities have gone on paying taxes after the law exempting them went into effect. It may also be remembered that The Kansan a short time ago remarked approvingly upon the public spirit of those fraternity men who voluntarily assumed the obligations which are laid upon other property owners by law. "The Kansan was wrong in that talk about public spirit," said one fraternity member after the editorial had appeared. "The only reason why the frats paid taxes was because they didn't know there was a law exempting them." "The result of the killing of Senator Brady's bill in
committee," said another fraternity man yesterday, "will be that two or three hundred dollars less taxes will be paid in this county next year." He stated the matter from his own point of view but the statement is somewhat erroneous. The amount of taxes levied will not be lessened. A better way to state the case is that the non-privileged taxpayers will have to pay two or three hundred dollars more taxes next year in this county.
Discrimination.
"What do you charge for rooms?"
"Five dollars up."
"But I'm a student—"
"Then it's five dollars down."
—Boston Transcript.
The Big Fight Is On.
It seems to be up to Mr. Don Carlos and Mr. Newlin as the representatives from Douglas county to push through the appropriations for the University. The great Kansas school has been growing rapidly and its friends had hoped that the day of petty bickering to get the support necessary to maintain it had passed It is true that there have been many fights, but so far, the school has never failed to get what it needed. It may make a hard fight for the Douglas county members, but certain it is that they will do their best.—Lawrence Journal-World.

Prof. Roy Moodie, of the department of paleontology, received Tuesday a grant of $200 from the Elizabeth Thompson Science Fund, to be used in connection fith his work on extinct amphibia in America. This fund was established by Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, a wealthy woman of Boston, for the purpose of advancing special research work along worthy scientific lines. A committee of trustees, of which Dr. Charles Minot, of Harvard is the chairman, distributes the interest on the money left, each year to worthy applicants and Professor Moodie received the money this year with which to carry on his work. The results of his investigations will aid in the publication of a work on the Carboniferous Amphibia of North America.

REORGANIZED KENT CLUB
Nice chocolate candies at Vic's.
Organization Revived After Two Years' Quiescence.
The Kent club, which is supposed to consist of members of the senior class of the School of Law, but which has not been in existence for the past two or three years, has been reorganized.
A write-up of the club has appeared in each issue of the annual catalogue. Its purpose as stated in the catalogue was for "the discussion of legal, economic and historical questions, and the consideration of legal literature."
Only one member of the ole organization is in school at the present time. He called a meeting last week and those interestel in the discussion of legal topics completed the reorganization. Besides the discussions upon legal questions, the club will take up after-dinner speaking. Later, prominent lawyers will be asked to address the club.
The usual custom of holding formal meetings will be dispensed with and the club will meet at the homes of the different members for their informal smokers.
The new officers of the club are: President, R. J. Shetlar; vice president, F. J. Rayfield, secretary, A. J. Thompson; treasurer, Joseph Wenger.
ALUMNAE WILL ENTERTAIN
Girls of Senior Class to Be Given a Reception.
The Lawrence branch of the Association of the Collegiate Alumnae will give a reception to the women of the graduating class Saturday, February 25, at the home of Miss Winston, 1620 Massachusetts street. This is an annual reception in honor of the senior girls and promises to be very profitable in that it gives each one an opportunity to meet her classmates as well as the Lawrence members of the association.
Dr. Payne's Address.
The discussion will be continued next Sunday at 3:00 p. m., on the subject, "The Resurrection of Christ."
Dr. Wallace C. Payne, of the University Bible chair, addressed about a hundred men last Sunday afternoon on the subject, "Christ Man and God." He showed in the discussion that Christ was superior to men in three things: first, in character, in which he was perfect; second, in capacities, in that he was unparalleled and complete, and lastly in his consciousness of knowing the truth, of being sufficient for the needs of men and of his own sinlessness which was without a flaw.
The Chemical Engineering society will give a banquet at the Eldridge house on the evening of March 21. The banquet will be open to chemical engineers, members of the chemical faculty and also to all students who are majoring in chemistry. About eighty are expected to attend.

Early Style Notes for Spring 1911
Comprehensive assortments of Tailored Suits, Long Coats, Tailored Skirts, Reception Gowns, Waists and Silk Petticoats await your inspection.
These charming garments appeal irresistably to the young woman who is tired of winter and her winter wardrobe. The new styles differ in many ways from the winter models but retain the same general narrowness and grace of outline.
DESIGNED & TAILORED
WORKSHOP WORTH
The tailored suits have shorter coats—many with the smart button over front. Collars plain or trimmed.
Tailored walking skirts are a mite wide and have many new panel effects. Cloth covered buttons are used extensively in trimming them.

A CLOSE CONTEST IN INDOOR MEET
The Store of Quality and Progress
KANSAS IN BETTER FORM THAN LAST YEAR.
The Woodbury brothers and Davis are the men Kansas is depending upon in the high and low hurdles, and here the Jayhawkers expect to harvest all the points in sight.
The high jump promises to be one of the spectacular events of the meet. Nicholson, who will represent Missouri, is the holder of the Western A. A. U. championship. French, who will enter the event for Kansas, can cross the bar at six fet and will push Nicholson hard for first place.
Jayhawkers Are Expected to Start in Dashes, Hurdles, and Field Events.
Don't forget the Hiawatha af- ter the dance.
Track athletes at the University are busily preparing for the indoor meet with Missouri at Kansas City, March 10. As soon as Coach Hamilton returns from the basket-ball trip he will begin getting the men into final shape for the meet.
There is a feeling that Kansas has much better chances than last year. Ammons is practicing for the shot put and is sure of second place in that event. Gribble, whose knee was injured last season, is showing up in good form for the quarter mile or the relay.
A dispatch from Missouri yesterday says that M. U. conceded the dashes, hurdles, and most of the field events to Kansas, and hence must show up strong in the distance events to win the meet. It is in the distance department that Kansas expects to do better than usual. Osborne is doing good work for the two mile and is almost sure of second place. From the half mile up Missouri is almost sure to take first places, but the Jayhawkers expect to put up hard races and to win second in most of the events. In the mile Watson and Patterson are doing promising work.
Sigma Chi Party.
d
Last Tuesday evening the members of the Sigma Chi fraternity gave their annual spring party in Fraternal Aid hall. Blue and gold, the fraternity colors, were used in the decorations. Hall's orchestra was screened behind a lattice work of ferns, palms and decorations of the fraternity colors. On the receiving line were C. A. Parker, Gladys Clark, Geo. Russell, Hazel Jones, Will Norris Helen Morrow, Ira Bermant, Helen Thomison and Mrs. Petty. The grand march was led by Harold Harlan and Bertha Dack. The programs consisted of booklets bound in brass, with the coat of arms of the fraternity embossed on the cover.
There were several favor dances, the first being a school-day dance, in which sunbounnels and straw hats were provided for the guests. At 12 o'clock'a large flag was unfurled and a spot-light picture of Washington was thrown on it.
Refreshments were served in the dining room which was decorated with smilax and daffodils. The Imperial Trio of Kansas City furnished music during the evening. A three-course supper was served.
The following out-of-town guests were present: Mr. and Mrs. Carl Trapp, Dr. and Mrs. Reed, Mr. and Mrs.Connell, Ralph Lewis, Hazel Jones, Jennie Moneypenny, Royland West, Frank Russell, Eva Smith, Rebecca Welty, Miss Reed and Miss Wickwyre of Topeka; Mr. and Mrs. F.

LOST ONE GAME TO CORNHUSKERS
KANSAS DEFEATED BY
SCORE OF 38 TO 26.
"Shorty" Long the K. U. Star— Championship Is Not Yet Lost.
In a fast game of basket-ball that was interesting from the start, the Jayhawkers dropped their second game of the conference schedule to the Cornhusker five last night by the score of 38 to 26. Kansas led in the scoring during the first half of the contest and the count at the end of the first session was 15 to 14. However, the Cornhusker men came back strong in the second half and Hamilton's men weakened, with the result that the Nebraska team romped away with the contest by a large lead.
Gibson, the tall Nebraska forward, led in the scoring for the winning aggregation, with six field goals and "Shorty" Long starred for Kansas, tossing three field goals and making twelve successful free throws.
The result of this game does not give the Missouri Valley conference championship to Nebraska and in case the game tonight is also lost the Jayhawkers still have the premier honors of the valley. The championship in basket-ball is determined by the number of games that each school wins and loses. Nebraska has lost five Missouri four, while Kansas can possibly lose only three games in the conference.
COTNER TOOK A GAME.
Kansas Five Defeated Thursday 35 to 26.
The basket-ball game with Cotner University on Thursday night at Lincoln resulted in a defeat for the Kansas five by the score of 35 to 26. The Cotner men went into the game to win and the only chance at victory that the Jayhawkers had in the entire contest was in the second half when the score was tied. However, the Cotnerites quickly annexed several field goals and finished with a big lead. The star work of the game was done by Siddons, who led the game by tossing ten field goals from difficult angles of the court.
The scarlet fever quarantine card was removed from Prof. H. P. Cady's house this week. Professor Cady'e was quarantined for two weeks when his children were taken sick with the scarlet fever, but since he did not contract the disease within two weeks he was allowed to leave the house.

'JOHN AND OTHER JOHNS.
A Unique Subject Well Treated in Chapel.
"John and other Johns" was the unique title of the address given in chapel yesterday by Judge Winfield Freeman of Kansas City, Kan.,in which he rapidly sketched the accomplishments of many men named John from John the Evangelist down to John Sherman the Ohio statesman. To the author of the Revelation he gave high praise for producing a book which, though not fully understood by men had done much to lift them above self.
With a keen sympathy for the limitations of the men and the obstacles they overcome, Judge Freeman spoke of the work of John Bunyan and John Wesley. John the Baptist, John Calvin. John Milton and John Adams were also mentioned as John-men who have influenced the world for good.
"But more numerous than all the others is John Chinaman," said Judge Freeman, "for he is 450,000,000 strong, and is moving as a mighty avalanche in the affairs of Asia. He is the strongest man, physically and mentally in the Orient." Judge Freeman prophesied that within fifty years China will overrun India and Persia and within 100 years would extend her domain to the Mediterranean. He considered that the division of languages in the empire was the only thing which had held it back thus far.

WHO HELD UP TWO SIGMA CHIS?
MASKED MEN TOOK ROSCOE WARD'S GOLD WATCH.
Officers Believe It Was a Student Prank and Say They Will Arrest Offenders.
Two masked men met Roscoe Ward and Ted Relihan, University students, as they were walking through South park to their rooms at the Sigma Chi house, about 10:30 o'clock last night.
“Put up hands,” remarked one of the masked men in a decisive tone, at the same time grasping Ward by the shoulder, and pointing a gun in his direction. The other masked man grasped Ward's other shoulder.
Relihan made a break and ran for safety and the Sigma Chi house. Ward was left alone with the two masked men, who took his gold watch and all the money they could find, about sixty cents.
"Now beat, it," said the man behind the gun, and in a few seconds Ward was in the Sigma Chi house telling the man at police headquarters what had happened. Officer Dailey and Deputy Sheriff Ebb Woods went to the park with Ward and Relihan, but no trace of the two men was found. Sheriff Woods said today that he knew who the hold-up men were. He said that warrants would be issued from the county attorney's office tonight for two students, who probably regarded the hold-up as a clever "stunt." "If it was a fake hold-up, I didn't see any indication of that fact," said Ward today. "My gold watch hasn't come back, nor my sixty cents. It was a real gun, too."
Sheriff Woods said that arrests would be made in the case Monday morning.

THE JUNIOR PROM.
It has been suggested that it is time to make some changes in the social gatherings of the University, notably the Junior Prom, in the direction of greater simplicity and smaller expenditure. Such affairs as the "Prom" need to be regulated every few years. It is the ambition of every junior class to give "the greatest Prom ever" and it is not many years after rather simple beginnings until the managers are taxing the pocket-books of the class and racking their brains to invent features of novelty and magnificence that will give their Prom the supposedly necessary lead over the preceding one. When the burden gets too heavy the Prom is simplified and the process begins anew from that point. One feature of the Prom,in recent years that has expanded unduly is the junior farce, which takes hours of time and makes it impossible for the dancing to begin until midnight or after. A commendable effort will be made to shorten the farce this year and thus contribute to making the Prom less of an all-night affair. If the managers of the 1911 affair can devise a way to start on time—taking care to make that time early—and eliminate all delays, criticism of the Prom will be lessened and the entire affair made more enjoyable.
Reports which indicate that students of the University are given to the consumption of the Demon Beer are said to hurt the University over the state. Therefore it may be well to remark in connection with the challenge to a beer-drinking contest which some of the engineering students have flung in the faces of the rest of the school, that University students are not devoid of a sense of humor.
A GLOOMY VIEW.
A graduate who lives in Salt Lake City takes a gloomy view of the University's future. He thinks the Junior Prom and Senior Reception are too tame, owing to ridiculous regulations made by the faculty, and compares them with pink teas in an Old Ladies Home. The graduate was a football player when he was here. One wonders whether he would live up the Prom and the Reception by instilling a little of the grid iron spirit into them. It is rather a trait of human nature to imagine that the decadence of an institution begins when one sever one's connection with it. The feeling of the Salt Lake City alumnus seems to be that the University can no longer compare with what it was in the good old day when he was a student. He says the attitude of the Regents enrages the alumni and cause then to advise their friends to send their children to other schools From the constantly growing enrollment of the University,it would seem that the people of the state have sense enough to disregard the advice of such alumni.
If "Engineers' Day" is to be March 31, whose day will March 17 be?
A Lawrence paper affirms that the men of the University are interested in the course on "The Family." If any oconfirmation of the report is desired, take a look over the campus as soon as the warm weather sets in.
While the decision is pending as to what committee has jurisdiction in the matter of regulating the gentle art of poker playing among students at this University, we move that the question be referred to Professor Dyche, the Game Warden.
The non-conference basket-ball teams have been springing some surprises on the varsity squad this week. Let us hope the College team will have better fortune when it goes out to meet the teams of the smaller Kansas colleges.
A sparrow's nest under the eaves of one of the buildings on the University of Kansas is said to be constructed from the treatise, "Young Birds, Their Care and Training." This precedent doesn't necessarily mean an increased demand for Mr. Coburn's justly celebrated work, "The Beef Steer and His Sister," and "The Hog's Happy Habitat."—Kansas City Star.
No Danger of a Fad.
Got What She Came For.
By Violet Shv.
Miranda Jane in Lonesomeville had such a splendid mind, so simple and so ladified, so dreadfully refined, that all her relatives declared to Lawrence she should go, and give her noble intellect a chance to sprout and grow. Four years passed by and she returned to uncles and to "ants," while docilely beside her walked a being clad in pants. Then all her joyful relatives embraced what she had roped,—declaring, "Jane has really done much better than we hoped."

ON STUDENT DISHONESTY.
Geo. O. Foster Will Tell of His Observations.
It might be well to make a chapel date for next Tuesday. For several years George O. Foster, registrar of the University, has been making a study of the subject of dishonesty among students and next Tuesday he intends to make a few remarks relative to how cheating and other forms of dishonesty in examinations are carried on. It is reported that he has several exhibitions of modes of cheating and that his remarks will be enlivened with incidents of local student life.
Two University students spoke at the annual banquet of theDemocrats that was held in Topeka last Wednesday. Emmet Kyle, a sophomore in the College from Lacrosse, and Henry J. Ahrens, a senior law from Belleville, delivered speeches before that assembly in which the prospects of theDemocrats in the near futurewere described. The subject ofMr. Kyle's Address was "Democratic Victories" and he spoke as the representative of the local Democraticclub. "Kansas" was thesubject chosen by Mr. Ahrens,andhe told of the attitude of thisstate toward the principles ofDemocracy.

Chicago and Michigan have passed Harvard, Pennsylvania has changed places with Cornell Illinois has been passed by Minnesota, California and Wisconsin, California and Wisconsin have changed places, Northwestern has passed Yale and Syracuse. Kansas has outstripped Iowa and Indiana, as Tulane and Indiana have Iowa and Johns Hopkins and Virginia have changed places The number of undergraduate women shows a decrease at the majority of institutions—quite an unusual condition. Harvard continues to lead in the number of men students, followed by Michigan, Yale Princeton, Wisconsin, Chicago, Columbia, Cornell, Minnesota; including the women the order is Harvard, Michigan, California, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Chicago, Syracuse, Columbia, Yale, Princeton, Texas and Kansas Each of these institutions enroll more than 1,000 academic students.
In an article of the current Graduate Magazine, Frank R. Whitzel, '96, of Salt Lake City, speaks of Kansas University as closely resembling a "female seminary." Mr. Whitzel, an old K. U. football star, bases his opinion mainly upon the strict rules which the regents and faculty have placed upon the various student activities. According to Mr. Whitzel the Junior Prom and Senior Reception of today are as tame as a "pink tea in an Old Ladies' Home." He says: "The petty annoyances, foolish rules, and absurd conditions imposed by the regents and faculty enrage the alumni and cause them to advise their friends to send their children to other schools." The article explains that the authorities, in taking away from the students all control of their activities, makes namby-tambes and Lizzie boys of them.

PLAN FOR A BIG BANQUET TONIGHT
ENGINEERS WILL MEET IN THE GYMNASIUM.
Visitors, Professors and Students Will Give Toasts and Make Merry.
The advance sale of the tickets for the engineers' banquet tonight has reached the mark of three hundred and it is expected that the attendance may be even greater. This is the eleventh annual banquet that has been given by the students of the School of Engineering and the addresses that will be given at the celebration this evening in Robinson gymnasium will make the event one of the most successful in the history of the department.
The guests will meet in the men's part of the gymnasium on the first floor where they will be entertained with music and where yells will be practiced. Promptly at 7 o'clock the sliding doors will be pushed aside and the engineers will take their places.
Professor J. N. Van der Vries will be toastmaster and the speakers of the evening will be: Carl Pleasant on "My First Professional Scrimmage;" Professor H. P. Cady, on "Thermo-Dynamics of the Future;" Chester A. Smith of Kansas City on "Why I Choose Sanitary Engineering;" Prof. G. C. Shaad on "Factors;" Lieut. Col. J. E. Kuhn of Leavenworth on "Points of Contact;" Dean Marvin, "The Dean wishes to see you in his office,"" Mike Lynch, "Erin Go Brac;" J. W. Malcolmson, of Kansas City, "Reminiscences of Mexico;" Prof. E. Haworth, "Improvements Worth While;" Geo. W. Russell, "Why We Need an Engineering Day."
Forty Years a Teacher.
Mrs. Ellen Richards, who was in St. Louis recently as presidee of the National Home Economics association, has just completed her fortieth year as a teacher in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The women students gave a luncheon to commemorate the event and there were eulogies by the professors upon her work as a chemist, "as a social seer and as an evangelist." Over a thousand sand dollars has been raised to be called the Ellen Richards funds and to be used as she desires. She was lately given the Ph. D. degree by Smith college.
College Girl a Minister.
Miss Marion Hasting Jones, a graduate of the class 1897 in Smith College, has been ordained pastor of the Congregational church at Staffordsville, Conn. She gave up teaching a girls' school in Hartford to go into the ministry and had served as a liecentiate for some time before her ordination.

FAVORS PLAY AND HEROES
Mr. Charles Told How to Reclaim Boys.
In speaking on "The Reelamation of Youth" at the regular Y.M.C.A.meeting Thursday evening, H. W. Charles, superintendent of the Boys' Industrial School at Topeka, spoke of the opportunities of the home, the public school, and the church, instead of the work accomplished at his institution. Preliminary to his discussion of the remedies for the increase of delinquency among children, Mr. Charles referred to inherited tendencies, economic conditions, and broken homes as the causes of evil.
"Every boy is more or less a hero worshiper," said Mr. Charles, "and if the father will make himself a true companion he can become also the hero of his boy and thus largely prevent him from becoming a delinquent. I think also that more practical education to aid in earning a living will be of benefit to the boy. To be increasingly useful our public schools should give more manual training."
Mr. Charles urged the value of play and that the schools should provide chances for it if the boy's moral and physical education is to be fully developed. He also advocated more definite efforts upon the part of the church to help the boys and share all good things with them.
Ross Beamer had charge of the music for the meeting and will be a permanent assistant in that way to T. N. Hill in the work of the religious meetings committee.
Phi Beta Kappa Address.
Professor George B. Mead, of the philosophy department of the University of Chicago, will deliver an address at the University of Kansas March 3 under the auspices of the Phi Beta Kappa honorary society. There are two honorary societies at the University. The Phi Beta Kappa represents the literary departments and the Sigma Xi, the scientific. To be a member of the former, a student must have made a high record in scholarship during his University course. The rules of this society permit the election to membership of not to exceed one-fourth of the graduating class. The members of Sigma Xi are elected at various times during the year. The society holds frequent meetings at which scientific subjects in which the students and professors are interested are discussed under the leadership of some specialist in each line of research.

Miniature Administration Building in the Museum.
CAST IS MOUNTED.
A plaster cast of the new Administration building, as it will appear when completed in 1916 has been received at the University museum and has been mounted on a permanent stand on the first floor of the building.
The cast which is about five feet wide and ten feet long is made of white plaster of Paris and is divided into three sections corresponding to the sections of the building as they will be constructed. It is a miniature reproduction of the building as it will appear from the outside, even the lights on either side of the main entrance have been erected in their places. The model of the completed building was constructed by the order of the architect, Mr. MacArdle of St. Louis, who is in charge of the construction of the building.

ARE ASSISTANTS IN HIGH SCHOOLS OF STATE.
Doing Work for the Experience Through the Department of Education.
The School of Education has lately been sending out seniors and graduate students to teach for a week or so in the various school of the state. This gives them the necessary training for the time when they will take regular positions. The school board of Kansas City, Kan,has been so well pleased with the idea that they have invited the School of Education to send down students to teach or to observe their methods. Clarence Rice, a senior, taught mathematics in that high school for three weeks. Grace Elmore, also a senior, taught mathematics for a week in the Chanute high school. Edmund Cressman, a graduate student,taught Latin for three weeks in the Iola high school.
The students are not paid for the work, as the experience is thought to be a sufficient recompense. The faculty in the School of Education a short time ago asked that they be allowed to use the Lawrence schools as a training place, but were not granted the privilege by the school board. However, several seniors are regular teachers in the high school and receive salaries. They are Zoe Clark, who teaches most of the time, Ethel Douglas, who has a class every day in history, and Ruth Wilhelm, who teaches botany. There are also eleven University botany students who assist in the high school laboratory course.

JAYHAWKERS ARE VALLEY CHAMPIONS
HEIZER'S SQUAD LOST BUT THREE CONFERENCE GAMES
Despite Poor Record on the Recent Trip, Kansas Won Most Games—Individual Scores.
Although the Jayhawkers lost for the third time to the Nebraska team in the last contest of their schedule at Lincoln, Saturday night, by the score of 34 to 24 Kansas is still the champion of the Missouri Valley Conference. This is the fourth time that the premier honors of the Valley have been won by the Jayhawkers, but this time a stigma is cast upon the title by reason of the fact that the Cornhuskers defeated the champions three times out of the four games played. However, the basket-ball championship is determined by the number of games won and lost by members of the Conference and since Kansas has only three defeats in the Missouri Valley to her credit, a record which is better than that of any other members of the Conference, the right of Kansas to first place cannot be disputed.
On the trip which the varsity squad completed last Saturday night, nine games were played, in four of which Kansas was victorious. But only six of the nine games played were with conference teams and the four victories were with these teams also.
The records that the individual players of the team made in the eighteen games of the season is one of the best that has been made for years. "Shorty" Long has a record of 137 points, made in free throws, and in conference games alone he threw 97 baskets out of 122 trials. Stuckey threw the most field goals of any man on the team, since he has 52 to his credit, while Captain Heizer is a close second with 49. Long scored 221 of the total of 588 points made in the eighteen games of the season. The small number of fouls called on the Kansas men attest the fact that they played one of the cleanest games of any team in the Valley.

THE INDOOR MEET.
This is a year of new things in athletics. It will be in keeping with the spirit of the times for the University track team to win the indoor meet from Missouri. Coach Hamilton says the chances of the team to take the big end of the score look better and better. At Missouri everybody is talking about the meet and a big squad is working every day. They realize over there that it will take harder work than usual to get away with the meet this year. It's up to the team and the students of the University of Kansas to make the most of their opportunity.
KAW SPOILS PLEASURE.
Snag in Swollen Waters Causes Accident.
That pride always goes before a fall was proved again last Sunday afternoon in the middle of the Kaw river when two University students who were out canoeing, struck upon a snag and were thrown out of the boat and forced to swim two hundred feet to the nearest bank while the canoe and the derby hat of one of the men floated over the falls at the Bowersock dam.
William B. Byers of 1131 Tennessee street, and Clarence Clarke of 1324 Ohio street,both freshmen engineers, decided to enjoy the spring-like weather of Sunday afternoon by making the first canoe trip of the year. They were returning homeward and the boat landing was only a half mile distant when suddenly the light shell was jerked from beneath them. They attempted to tow the canoe toward the bank and save it from going over the falls, but the attempt was futile since the current of the stream was fast carrying them to a cold plunge over the dam. After a hard swim through the ice-cold water the pleasure hunters landed on a boat on the north bank and the canoe serenely floated down stream and over the dam. The 22 caliber repeating rifle and the kodak that Mr Clarke had taken along with him on the trip, went to the bottom.
Meade's Subject Announced.

EXTENSION DEPARTMENT HELPS YOUNG ORATORS.
Ninety-Five Package Libraries Assist High School Seniors in Writing Graduation Speeches.
Another way in which the University is assisting the high schools of the state was made known this morning by Prof. Richard Price, of the department of University extension. Letters have been sent to various high schools over the state, offering the assistance of the department in helping the members of the senior class in working up their graduating orations. The department has compiled a list of subjects for themes and has collected many magazine articles as well as pamphlets relative to these questions and these are being sent on request to the various high schools
At the present time there have been ninety-five of these package libraries sent out and there are at least thirty-five schools who have expressed a desire to obtain the books. Each school is allowed to keep the material two weeks and there is no charge from the department except for postage.
Railroad Man Will Speak.
"The idea is meeting with great success," said Professor Price this morning. "The high schools of the state, especially those of the smaller towns where there are no public libraries, are sending in calls for material and in every case have said that this was the most practical work that the department has done for the public schools since its existence. The system has been working for only a few weeks and as soon as we have some of the libraries returned we send them out again and in this way we hope to furnish all who apply for books. Wisconsin is the only other university in this country that has anything like this system of package libraries. The great interest taken in it by the various schools is bound to make it a permanent feature of the department."
A. W. Kanavel of New York city, international secretary of the railroad department of the Y. M. C.A. will speak Thursday evening at the regular weekly meeting in Myers hall. The talk will deal with the needs and difficulties that beset the railroad employees and how the railroads are trying to meet them. There is at present a great demand for college men who are willing to work among the employees and take part in the Y. M. C. A. work. His subject will be "For Men on the Road."

RECEIVES RECOGNITION.
Chancellor Strong Gets Words of Commendation From New York.
Alumni all over the country have been watching the present contest for appropriations before the legislature. Chancellor Frank Strong's labors before that body have been appreciated by the alumni in New York city, as is shown by the following telegram received at the Chancellor's office this week:
"Chancellor Strong, Lawrence, Kan.; The Kansas University Alumni association of New York sends greetings to you and words of good cheer for your magnificent efforts in behalf of our alma mater. Its prestige has so increased here in the East that Kansas should support it generously until it reaches the first rank of American Universities. —Edward F. Burnett, President."
JUNIORS OBJECT TO FACULTY RULING
DON'T WANT TO CLOSE THE PROM AT 3 A. M.
Secretary Brown Suggests Conservatism, but Managers Would Consult the Class.
Yesterday Donald McKay and Roscoe Redmond, managers of this year's junior prom, received official notice from E. E. Brown, secretary and purchasing agent of the University, to the effect that the University authorities desired the prom to be discontinued at 3 o'clock a.m. As a reason for this action Mr. Brown states that after consideration of the matter the faculty decided "that the best interests of the University would be served if such a social function, if held in University buildings should not last until daylight."
That additional restraint will be placed upon the managers in planning the affair was implied a week before, when E. M. Briggs, the University marshall, advised MeKay and Redmond, that instead of each party surpassing previous performances, an attempt should be made to be more conservative in decorations and refreshments.
The managers of the prom have talked with various members of the class of 1911,and have reached the conclusion that the class should be consulted in the matter, as they believe that arrangements for the prom should be completed without restraint as to the length of its durations or suggestions concerning decorations. Arch McKinnon, president of the junior class, also desires to obtain the opinion of the class and for that reason has called a meeting of the junior class for next Friday noon in Fraser hall. All members of the class are urged to be present, so that an expression of their opin ion may be had.

VOTE ON BILLS AT 10 TOMORROW
APPROPRIATIONS UP BEFORE BOTH HOUSES.
Students' Fees May Be Retained in University Budget by Conference Agreement.
A vote will be taken on the University appropriation bills in both the house and senate tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
After the two houses have voted on the bills, an agreement will have to be reached in conference. It is reported from Topeka today that the University fees may be put back into the appropriation in the conference.
The house bill in its final form totals $1,020,370. The senate bill includes practically the budget as asked for except the appropriations for the women's dormitory and the hospital building.
It is likely that the legislature will reappropriate the $45,000 for the administration building,which was allowed to lapse last summer.
THE OKLAHOMA BANQUET.
Attended by Professors Green and Higgins-Both Spoke.
Dean J. W. Green and Prof. W. E. Higgins of the School of Law, returned Thursday night from Muskogee, Ok., where they attended the third annual banquet of the Oklahoma Alumni association of the University of Kansas.

THE UNIVERSITY AND POLI TICS
The University has been "in politics" this year to an extent unprecedented. The amount of the appropriations for state education has become a bone of contention between the two factions that are struggling for the mastery in Kansas politics. As a result, appropriations are being cut down on the grounds of "economy" in order that politicians may "go before the people" with a good record. And therefore education is getting less money than it really needs.
The situation in politics which has caused the paring down of University appropriations will be changed entirely and forgotten within a year or two. It will not even be remembered by the legislators that the University appropriation was cut down to contribute toward the political advantage of one side or the other. But the University for years to come may feel the handicap which has been imposed upon it.
What better argument is needed for a mill tax, a system of support which will insure the steady growth of the University and free it from the danger of becoming involved in petty politics?
THE KANSAN CHANGES.
The term of the present editorial board of The Kansan draws to a close with this issue of the paper. For the support which the University public has given the University Kansan in the past year, for the appreciation which has greeted the efforts of the paper to serve its readers and the toleration which has been manifested toward its shortcomings, the board is duly grateful. The present board has had a good deal of fun and satisfaction in its capacity of recorder and critic of University events and University life, while at times the drudgery of the position seemed predominant. It is with mingled satisfaction and regret, therefore, that the retiring officers turn over the responsibilities and the pleasures of University newspaper work to the new board of editors and managers. The prospects are that The Kansan will have many opportunities for improvement in the immediate future, and the newly elected board is competent to make the most of them.
UNIVERSITY MORALS.
The standard of morality and behavior is necessarily higher at the University than it is in the other communities of the state. A standard which is good enough for other communities is not necessarily good enough for the University, for it is an institution dedicated to progress in morals and conduct as well as in academic learning, and the state demands that the University shall serve as a model for the rest of the commonwealth to follow. It is for this reason that the report

living up to the high standard of conduct which the state expects of the University community. A few young men have fallen below this standard, and though the reports which have gone out about their action have represented conditions as being worse than the facts warrant, the University must "stand" for the stories. Doubtless among the students who cried out against the story which appeared in a Kansas City paper last night as misrepresenting the facts and being of a kind which will hurt the University, were some of the very men whose actions gave a basis for the news article. A newspaper is to be held strictly accountable for statements it makes which are not in accord with facts,of course, but the students whose actions have been in contravention of the University standards must remember that they have equal responsibility for the consequences of their acts. A pitifully small amount of misbehavior can hurt the University and, since this is so, the injunction is all the more binding on every student to see that his conduct comports with University standards.
Chancellor Strong's action in setting a time limit upon the Junior Prom is a step toward correcting a condition which has occasioned much criticism of the University and will lead to more criticism if it is continued. The allnight party doubtless has a novelty all its own, but if students of the University can derive any profit from such novelty, the fact is yet to be established.

IT WAS THE NIGHT OF THE ENGINEERS
ELEVENTH ANNUAL BAN QUET HELD SATURDAY.
Two Hundred Engineer in Attendance Heard Series of Interesting Talks.
More than two hundred engineers were present at the eleventh annual banquet of the K. U. engineers in Robinson gymnasium Saturday evening, and the rest have been regretting that they weren't there. For it was one of the best meetings the engineers have ever held. After the elaborate banquet had been served, midnight found the guests listening with keen enjoyment to a series of toasts never excelled at the University in wit and genuine interest.
The banquet was served in the east room on the lower floor of the gymnasium. The guests were seated at three long tables. At the central table, where the electrical engineers were seated, a miniature electric locomotiveplied from end to end of a track down the middle of the table. The locomotive and the track were made by students at Fowler shops. A street lighting system with tiny electric bulbs also was strung along this table.
At intervals during the evening the lights were switched off and fiery letters, "E E," sputtered from an infernal machine rigged on the side wall. The "electricals" had a monopoly on the "stunts," and so satisfactory were they that each branch of engineering doubtless will be represented in special features at the next banquet.
Prof. J. N. Van der Vries presided as toastmaster. His introductions of the speakers on the program were clever and pointed.
The Toasts.
Carl Pleasant, former captain of the football team, led off in the speaking. In responding to the toast, "My First Professional Scrimmage,"he said that this was the first time he had ever been charged with professionalism. He believes the engineer who has graduated will be likely to regret that he did not learn more theory when he was in school. Football, he said, is essentially an engineering game, a problem in stresses and strains.
"Thermodynamics," said Professor H. P. Cady, "is likely to be an important subject in the future, or at any rate in the hereafter." Then the professor of chemistry brought the cheering message to the engineers that by the principles of thermodynamics the inmates of hades are perfectly comfortable, once their temperatures have risen to that of their environment.
"Why I Chose Sanitary Engineering" was the subject of Chester A. Smith of the class of 1904. Mr. Smith told some good stories and wound up by saying that he chose his profession much as other men do, largely by accident.
Prof. Geo. C. Shaad compared a body of engineering students to a power plant. "Our duty is to keep the average load up near the maximum," he said."The ratio of actual power to apparent power is important. It behooves us to look about us and find if we actually are as busy as we appear to be, and to keep our power factor near 100 per cent."
Lieut. Col. J. E. Kuhn, of the corps of army engineers at Fort Leavenworth, talked on "Points of Contact." Colonel Kuhn said
we took pride in the School of Engineering of the University because he was a native Kansan. He told of the relation which the army has held to the engineering profession. "The profession was first fostered in the United States by the army," he said. "Until 1824, West Point was the only school in the country which taught civil engineering, and up to that time all public engineering work was necessarily done by the army engineers."
Chancellor Strong was detained in Topeka and when Dean Marvin rose to speak he expressed the Chancellor's "regrets" at not being able to attend the banquet.
A Reception to the Chancellor.
"I believe the student body does not fully appreciate the magnitude of the Chancellor's position—what he is as a man, and what he is doing for the students in his position," said Dean Marvin. "I hope that when the Chancellor returns from his labors at Topeka, whether he has been successful in obtaining for the University the entire amount of the support it needs and has asked for, or not, he will be given a rousing reception after the period of stress he had undergone."
Dean Marvin made a short talk on the value of personality, and the desirability of being not only students, but men among men.
"Ireland Forever."
Strange to say, the title of "Mike" Lynch's toast was "Erin go bragh." Mike did not speak on his subject further than to translate it into English. In the numerous summers since he started to the University, Mike has worked as an engineer, and he gave his fellows some advice on holding a job. "The best way to get a stand-in with the boss," said Mike, "is to rake up a common enemy—preferably the technical graduate. When the boss says the t. g. is no good, tell him he is right, and you can prove it."
"Reminiscences of Mexico," by J. W. Malcolmson, was perhaps the most entertaining talk of the evening. In his years of experience as a mining engineer, Mr. Malcolmson has accumulated a vast store of entertaining reminiscences. He warned his audience not to belittle the value of their University life. "Such occasions as this are more important than you realize. When I was in school I was anxious to get away, thinking that when I left school I would begin to live," said Mr. Malcolmson. "I have realized since than those years were the best of my life. The opportunities I had then to meet men who were the leaders of thought and action are among my most cherished recollections."
Prof. E. Haworth spoke on the correlation of theory to practice, and of the melancholy experiences of men who spent their time on inventions and investigations which the world didn't need.
Mr. Malecolmson spoke of the revolution in Mexico, of the customs and prejudices of the natives, of lucky strikes in ore and of the varied duties the engineer in charge of a mine is expected to perform from preserving order to prescribing for sickness. A wealth of experience was compressed within his short address.
George Russell, president of the engineering students, closed the speaking of the evening with an appear to the engineers to make the approaching Engineers' Day a feature of real value and significance to the University.
Seniors! Squires for your annual pictures.
Some Engineers May be Barred as Professionals.
AN UNIQUE CONTEST.
A real championship bout will be pulled off at the University if the challenge of the Mining engineers is accepted by any department of the school of engineering. Friday the Miners issued a challenge in which they proclaimed their ability to outdistance all comers in a beer drinking contest. This said drinking bout is to take place on Engineers' Day and is to be participated in by all who are not declared by the eligibility committee to be in the professional class. This ruling of the committee is causing considerable worry among the Miners, for there is a fear that the ruling may disqualify a number of their men upon whom they were depending to win the meet.
At the time that the beer drinking contest was announced there was an additional challenge for a tug of war, a four man relay race, and a hundred yard dash. Of course in view of the great interest taken in the imbibing contest, and because of the large number of men that will probably be entered in this struggle, the other events will probably not receive much attention.
The Chemicals met in regular session Friday afternoon and sent the following answer to the Miners: "We, the most high analyzers of Protein-albumin-protein, do hereby accept the challenge of the illustrious slingers of the pick and shovel for the relay race of four men, and the strong men's tug of war. At the same time we Chemicals hereby challenge any department of the Engineering school to a relay swimming race of four men, to take place in the K. U. tank, filled with aqua 200 proof."
At the Vesper Service.
The steadfastness of Jesus in the course he had marked for himself was the theme of the address at the vesper service Sunday afternoon, which was delivered by the Rev. Noble S. Elderkin, pastor of the Lawrence Congregational church. "Though most people yield to their friends the will of Jesus could not be bent," said Mr. Elderkin. "Public opinion does not sway the true heart, and though it costs to do right, the cost not to do right is far more dear."

A pure silk Stocking with re-inforced garter hem. As its name implies, truly a "Wonderfoot." The foot is protected against wear through an inter weaving of lisele thread on the sole, heel and toe. This does not show on the outer side yet it so strengthens the wearing qualities of the foot that it will outwear the rest of the Stocking and in no way mar its beauty. Black only at a pair $2

The data obtained will be printed in the State Board of Health bulletin and will also be kept on file at the Chemistry building, to be referred to by the various cities at any time.

Geo. O. Foster Believes Student Moral Sentiment a Bit Wobbly.
"Among students and faculty alike who believe that drastic punishment will be necessary to eradicate examination cheating from American schools there is sentiment in favor of a disciplinary committee with irrevocable power to expel the guilty students," said Registrar George O. Foster, in chapel this morning, in discussing needed changes in the moral atmosphere of this University. He believes that though this school is above many others in its moral standards there is a vacillating policy which manifests itself in the Student Council's attitude toward the eligibility of athletic representatives and in the general failure of students to insist that all students shall be honest in quizzes.
"Stealing is too often looked upon as the collecting of souvenirs," said Mr. Foster, "and therefore naturally enough students do not look with seriousness upon stealing in examinations. It is somewhat gratifying that cribbing is less among the upper classmen, but one senior who brags of his success in cheating does a serious injury to the moral standards of the school."
---
Mr. Foster discussed briefly some of the influences which have been assigned as causes for cheating and explained that conditions in preparatory schools are often responsible. He also referred to various preventive methods which have been advocated, such as changes in grading systems, the giving of more weight to daily recitations, and the honor system. Without attempting to say just what should be done in the University of Kansas, he emphasized the injury the student does to himself by cheating in examinations.
NO PROSECUTION.
Sigma Chi Bandits Got Only Jacking-Up.
COLLEGE FIVE LOSES TWO GAMES
In an interview with a reporter of The Kansan,County Attorney Riling said today that there would be no prosecution of Vance Day and Roy Heil, the Sigma Chis who held up a couple of their fraternity brothers in South park Friday night. Prosecutor Riling fails to see where there is any joke in calling out the county officers to help carry on a practical joke. He called up the Sigma Chi fraternity last night and warned the men against a repetition of anything of that sort.
FLORENCEN AND CHILOCCO BOTH VICTORIOUS.
Department Team Urges Small Courts in Defense—Three Games Yet to Play.
The College basket-ball team met its first defeat of the trip at the hands of the Florence Y. M. C. A. team last Friday night by the score of 28 to 18. The playing was fast and hotly contested during the entire game, but the small court that the game was played on kept the local five from pushing their score higher. The star of the game for the winning team was O'Neill, who tossed six baskets from the field at difficult angles. The summary of the game is:

The result of the game Saturday night with the Chilooco Indians was a second defeat for the College men by the score of 25 to 15. The playing was very rough and a number of fouls were called on both teams for rough tactics. The Indians went into the game to win, and they were never stopped during the entire session.

STATEMENTS
INACCURATE.
Report of Disciplinary Activity Is Exaggerated.
Despite the fact that no action has been taken by the disciplinary committee for a week regarding the complaints that were made against students charged with playing poker, the Kansas City Star last night printed a story intimating that additional action had been taken and more was to follow. Professor Carl Becker of the disciplinary committee made the following statement today::
To the Editor of The Kansan:
To the Editor of The Kansas:
It may be well to state in The Kansan that the interview alleged to have been given by me and printed in the Kansas City Star and Capital of yesterday, and this morning, has no basis in fact. I have never been interviewed by a representative of either paper and have never made to any one the statements attributed to me. The statement of facts contained in the alleged interview, is moreover, so far as
the disciplinary committee is concerned, almost wholly false. CARL BECKER
Pan-Hellenic Smoker.

This year the Pan-Hellenic council has planned a more elaborate event than that of any previous smoker.
Each fraternity is to present a "stunt." Souvenir programs have been printed and dinner will be served in the dining room. The fraternity men among the professors have been invited, also the alumni in town.

EYE SYMPTOMS
MANY PEOPLE have defects of which they are unconscious, and while they suffer no inconvenience or pain, they should wear Glasses for the sake of their future Eyesight.
Do you have headaches? Do your eyes water? Do they ache? Does print run together? Do things appear double? Do things become dim or swim? Are your eyes inflamed? Do your eyes tire after reading awhile? Does a bright light pain them?
