WILL INTERPRET BASKET BALL RULES
LAWRENCE. KANSAS TUESDAY, DECEMBER, 5, 1911.
OFFICIALS AND COACHES MEET SATURDAY.
Basketball in the Missouri Valley is to be made more interesting to the spectators and also more scientific. At least that is the purpose of a meeting of the coaches of the different teams of the Missouri Valley Conference coaches of other teams in the valley and officials. The meeting will be held in Kansas City Friday afternoon.
six Men Will Officiate At All Games—Make Schedule Saturday.
There were a number of changes in the basketball rules made this year and the conference committee on rules will explain each of the clauses to the coaches and officials so that there will be no contention over the interpretation of any of the rules. In the past the difference of opinion by coaches and officials has caused much contention and it is hoped by the thorough explanation of the meaning of the rules that this will be avoided this season. The revised rules are definite on the questions of fouls and they tend to make the game free from holding and place speed and skill in a more important position than ever before.
At this joint meeting six men will be chosen to officiate at all of the Missouri Valley Conference games to be played. In limiting the number it will give the officials a chance to make a thorough study of the rules and become more efficient in handling the games. No official will be selected who does not attend the meeting in Kansas City so that the decision made at the conference will be used throughout the basketball season. The Missouri Valley basketball schedule for 1912 will be decided on Saturday.
"LITTLE RED SCHOOL
HOUSE" GAINS GROUND
Kansas is Meeting Place For Social And Civic Center Movement Next Year.
Next year Kansas will be the meeting place for prominent educators of the country who are interested in the Social and Civic Center movement. It was decided at the first meeting of the association which was held at the University of Wisconsin some time ago, that the University of Kansas should be the next host. "The movement is gaining ground and our efforts to make the people see that the "little red school house" is good for other things than a country school are getting results," said Prof. R. R. Price, head of the extension division of the University. Prof. A. W. Trettein, of the school of education, and Ralph Spotts, who spend considerable time traveling over the state say that they find a very favorable attitude toward the movement.
Prof. G. A. Gesell of the department of public speaking will give an address at Marysville, Kansas Saturday on the movement.
There will be an important meeting of the engineers in their chapel Thursday morning at 10.15.
A son arrived at the home of Vice-chancellor William Herbert Carruth yesterday morning. The young vice-chancellor is a strong lad but it will be some time before he can keep up with the Chancellor's heir.
Engineers' Attention.
Carruth Has a Son.
THE KANSAN WANTS TO KNOW
At present it compares favorably only with other Kansas college papers, and is not in a class with student dailies of other universities.
The University Kansan should be a Daily.
There is not a university in the country of the rank of Kansas that has not a student daily.
Our neighbors on every side boast daily papers. There is Nebraska, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Chicago, Missouri.
"Missouri" brings to mind the sample copies of the University Missouri distributed on the campus last week, and the conscious and unconscious comparison with the Kansan. The comparison was not favorable to the Kansan.
* * * * *
With the new equipment of the department of journalism, and the help of the journalism students in laboratory and in gathering news, the Kansan can be made a daily.
It can be made larger by one-fourth and issued every college day in the year.
It can carry more departments, including a high school department, and go out to the high schools and the state, a worthy representative of the big school whose name it bears.
It can be sent to every high school in the state.
The Kansan Board will relinquish its profits in the publication and turn every cent into the paper.
A board composed of the presidents of the Men's and Women's Councils, Chancellor Strong and Professor Thorpe would audit its books monthly and report to the students.
Appointment to the board and editorship would be strictly on the merit basis, and any student in the University would be eligible. The Daily Kansan would still be a student paper; a student would have absolute control of its editorial policy.
* * * * * * * *
All this and much more could be done if the students of Kansas would support the paper by their subscriptions so that the Kansan could consciently ask its advertisers for more patronage.
At present the Kansan costs $3,000 a year.
At present the Kensington costs are
A daily, six-column, set in smaller type, printing one-fourth more news, features, and cuts and sending out 1,000 copies daily over the state, would cost $6,000 a year.
* * * * * *
If five hundred more students will promise to subscribe for a Daily Kansan, from January to June, $1.25, 125 issues at one cent an issue, the Kansan will become a daily the first of January.
Does the University of Kansas want a Daily?

DESIGN OF QUEBEC SOLVED MYSTERY BRIDGE FAULTY OF UNKNOWN FEVER
Dr. Swain's Lecture Was Well Attended—Forest Conservation Subject Tonight
“In engineering practice as well as in any other pursuit of life the study of one's mistakes is sometimes better than the study of successes,” said Dr. George F. Swain, of the department of Civil Engineering of Harvard, in his lecture yesterday afternoon on the "Quebec Bridge and its Fall."
Dr. Swain is one of the prominent engineering educators in the country and has spent much time studying the higher type of structures. The cause for the collapse of the mammoth Quebec bridge, he stated in the lecture, was the improper design of some of the compression members of the structure. This one fault caused 17,000 tons of steel to plunge into the river.
"This bridge would have been the greatest structure in the world, even greater than the Fourth Bridge of Scotland, had it stood. It was built across the St. Lawrence river seven miles above Quebec. At this point the river was 2,000 feet wide. The steel bridge was to furnish railway service across the river and was to have one clear span of 1,800 feet.
A well filled chapel greeted Dr. Swain last night. This afternoon he will lecture on "The Relation of Forests to Stream Flow."
Dr. Gentry K. U. '05 Discovered Malta Fever in Mexico—Now in Government Service.
"The bridge was designed by engineers of the old school and the greatness of the work was out of range of their experience. Consequently the improper design of the compression members caused the disaster which is claimed to be the greatest engineering tragedy of the present day."
When the Mexican goat herds in the canons of Texas and New Mexico became afflicted with a strange new disease during the past few years, the government called on Dr. R. E. Gentry, K. U. '05, for a solution, and the secret of the unknown malady was forthwith laid bare. It was discovered that the baffling disease was identical with the European Malta fever, which is indigenous to the shores of the Mediterranean. It is caused by a bacillus which is present in goats and is spread to persons by continual drinking of the infected goat's milk.
A large part of last summer Dr. Gentry spent in field laboratory work, studying the Malta fever in the goat country along the Pecos, Nuesces and Rio Grande rivers. The results of his work were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, August 26, September 9, 16, and 30, 1911.
The doctor passed through Lawrence last Wednesday evening on his way from Fort Leavenworth to San Francisco, from which port he sails today for Manila on the U. S. Army transport, "Logan." He will be in the Philippines two and a half years as a member of the Army Board for the study of Tropical Diseases.
Dr. Gentry was a member of the Army Medical Corps at Washington in 1910 and was afterwards stationed at Fort Leavenworth. His degree of M.D. was conferred the previous year by John Hopkins University, but he has an A. B. from K. U. in 1905. He completed a year's graduate work at Rosedale afterwards.
FOOTBALL MEN WILL
BANQUET AT ELDRIDGE
Athletic Management Will Entertain Thursday —Squad Will Elect Captain.
Next Thursday evening at 6:30 o'clock at the Eldridge House the annual banquet given by the athletic management to the members of the football squad will take place. Every man who has played in any one of the eight scheduled games is invited to attend.
At this banquet the men who have earned their "K" this year will be awarded the coveted letter and the captain for the team next year will be chosen. At the present time there is only one candidate in the field for the captainey, Harold Brownlee being the only one mentioned.
CLASSMEN CHASE PIGSKIN NOW
Varsity Players Not Eligible For Class Teams—Will Arrange Schedule Soon.
"We will play until snow and cold weather drives us in," said the coach this morning. "as soon as the teams get organized, a schedule for the inter-class series will be arranged."
The men who are trying out for the class football teams checked out suits and were given preliminary instruction by Coach Sherwin on McCook field this afternoon.
The twenty-five varsity players who went to Columbia are not eligible to play in the series but several of them will assist in coaching their class teams. A rule has been adopted that none will be allowed to play in any game unless he has trained continually from the beginning of practice.
"During these contests I will get a chance to watch for varsity material," Sherwin said. "The series will also give me a chance to do individual work with several members of the freshman squad who look good for next year.
MANAGER HAMILTON SPOKE
Was the Chapel Speaker This Morning.
Subject of Address to Mining Journal Wednesday.
Referring to the playing of the football games in college towns Mr. Hamilton stated that playing the game on the grounds in Columbia this year was successful beyond the fondest hopes of either school. The address was concluded with an appeal to the student body to give more loyal support to varsity athletic teams.
"MINING IN MEXICO,"
Manager W. O. Hamilton was the chapel speaker this morning and quite naturally his address was concerned with athletics at this University. The speaker noted the great interest that has been created in college sports within the last few years and cited as an example the large number of athletes that appeared for the initial basket ball practice this year compared to the few that came out in the past years.
WILL DISCUSS BIG ATHLETIC CHANGES
"Mining Conditions in Mexico" will be the subject of a talk to be given before the Mining Journal Wednesday afternoon, at 4:30 in Haworth hall, by Mr. E. J. Schrader, a mining engineer who is visiting in Lawrence. Mr. Schrader is a graduate of the Minnesota School of Mines, and is fresh from five years' experience in Mexican矿工 work.
MISSOURI VALLEY CONFER-
ENCE MEETS HERE.
May Add Two Members to Roll
—Will go Over Baseball Situation Again.
The annual fall meeting of the Missouri Valley Conference will be held at the University Saturday. This is the first time that the conference has been held at any of the schools interested and following the meeting in Lawrence the conference will be held at the different Valley schools in rotation.
Professor McClung, the Kansas representative in the Conference, does not know what questions will be decided by the men at the meeting Saturday. It is probable however that the baseball situation in the Missouri Valley will be decided at length. Many universities are abolishing this sport, but Mr. McClung says that he is satisfied this step will not be taken by the conference. Professionalism, which is supposed to be interfering with baseball will be the chief subject of discussion.
It is also possible that the conference will receive petitions for membership from the Kansas State Agriculture College and the University of Oklahoma. The Aggies have always wanted to join the conference and the Oklahoma victory over Kansas and Missouri this fall in football gives that school a prominence which it will use in gaining admission.
Besides the regular routine work of arranging schedules the questions of Missouri Valley officials undoubtedly will be discussed. The conference includes Nebraska, Missouri, Ances, Drake, Washington, and Kansas.
SCHOLARSHIP LOVING CUP
Sig Alphs Hold Convention During Holidays.
The Kansas Alpha chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon entertained the Zeta province of that fraternity here last Friday and Saturday. The convention was concluded with a banquet at the Eldridge house. A large delegation of Kansas City alumni attended the banquet. The chapter at the University of South Dakota was added to the Zeta province making the number in this division eight. The Sig Alphas inaugurated a plan to improve the scholarship standing of the Zeta chapters. A handsome loving cup will be awarded the chapter with the best record each year. The next meeting of the province will be in Columbia, Mo., in December, 1912.
PIANO RECITAL TONIGHT
Italian Artist Will Play—Enterprise Tickets Good.
The third Fine Arts recital of the fall course will be given tonight at 8:15 in Fraser by Silvio Scionti, the Italian pianist who recently appeared in Chicago with the Thomas Orchestra.

A WORD FROM MR. FITE
The universities and colleges of the land received another body blow last month when one Mr. Fite—know him?—informed a waiting world that school teachers have no business going to institutions of higher learning. According to Bro. Fite there is a waste of time and energy in the teacher attempting to learn the best way to instruct the young and he advocates a system that ought to be nation-wide, whereby a teacher would never see the inside of a college but upon graduation—from high school, we suppose—would be the mental leaders of the youths of this country.
A few months ago a certain rich man, one Mr. Crane of Chicago, rose up in mighty indignation and proclaimed that a goodly number of our college lads were mighty hard drinkers and were past all moral redemption. Now Mr. Crane is a business man who has made his millions and probably enjoys getting rid of some of his money by swating the institutions of higher learning. In contrast to him is Professor Fite. He himself is a teacher and as such ought to know the defects in our educational system.
But just what is his idea in sacrificing the rising generation to a corp of unschooled and untrained teachers? Is it justice to the present schoolgoers that they be denied the benefits of a college training which they themselves may not be able to obtain? If Professor Fite's instructions are followed it would take but a few years before the connecting link between the grade and high schools and the colleges would be lost. It would tend toward a severance of sympathy and a differentiation of ideas and tastes that would not be beneficial to those affected.
On its face Professor Fite's article appears to be a challenge to higher education of our pedagogues. In many districts the inexperienced teachers have been tried and they have always shown a lesser degree of aptitude and ability to instruct than those who have had college or normal training. Mr. Fite's remarks raise again the question of specialization. A teacher ought to be as much of a specialist as a machinist, an engineer or a professor of chemistry. The work of those teachers who have had college training is the only way to prove to some people that expert teachers have their place in the educational world.
HERE'S OUR CHOICE.
It is with a degree of trepidation that the University Kansan ventures to pick an All-Missouri Valley football team. It realizes that its choice will be freely criticized by those who have their interests centered in other schools. Viewing the game from the angle of one who is unprejudiced the Kansan picks the following men:
Ends, Brownle and Delaney.
Taekles, Baird and Davidson.
Guards, Bramwell and Weid
tein.
Center, Ahrens.
Quarterback, Heil.
Fullback, Ammons, (Captain).
Right half, Coolidge.
Left half, C. Woodbury.
Our choice for second team is:
Ends, Magill and Price.
Tackles, Schwab and Houk.
Guards, Burnham and MeMil-
Center, Tudor.
Quarterback, Wilson.
Fullback, Daniels.
Right half, Davis or Hoffman.
Left half, Kabler, or Beezley,
or H. Woodbury.
Now that the football season is over, the Baker Orange is forced to give front page, first column position to a checker tournament that is being waged
--among the students at the Methodist college. There's nothing like keeping students interested in athletics the year around.

WILL PENSION FACULTY
Illinois University Will Provide Allowance for Aged Professors
The University of Illinois has appointed a committee to establish a system of retiring allowances for members of the faculty. It is thought such a system would make faculty members willing to accept smaller salaries during the period of their active labor in the prospect of securing a retiring allowance upon reaching the age limit of their efficiency. At the present time the cost of such a pension system would not be great, for the average age of the faculty at Illinois is not high. This is similar to the plan of the Carnegie foundation at several different universities. By the Carnegie system the full professors of certain institutions are placed at the age of sixty-five upon an allowance, whose amount is based upon their salaries. In case of physical disability they may retire upon such a pension after serving fifteen years as a professor or twenty-five years as an instructor. Professor's widows are also beneficiaries of the Carnegie Foundation.
52 CHINESE AT MICHIGAN
Have Association There to Promote Welfare of Orientals.
Fifty-two students are registered this year in the Chinese Students' association of Michigan, more than double last year's total. Although this organization embraces all Chinese students in the state all but two of the members, who are girls at Ypsilanti, are in attendance at this institution.
The aim of the association is to promote the welfare of the Chinese both at home and abroad. It hopes to bring about a closer alliance between the students here and to attract new men to Michigan. Its success along this line can be estimated when it is realized that out of seventy men coming to this country for the first time, twenty came to Middigan, and a half dozen more are enrolled who come from other schools.
Although Cornell had the largest enrollment of Chinese last year it is altogether probable that Michigan will pass them this year—Michigan Daily.
PROFESSORS ARE AUTHORS
Engineering Faculty Members
Write Articles For Magazines
Prof. Harry Gardner, of the School of Engineering, and Prof. Edward Bartow, formerly professor in chemistry here, now with the University of Illinois, are recent magazine contributors. Professor Gardner has an article in the Engineering Record, September 9, "Effect of Hydrated Lime on Portland Cement Mortar"; Professor Bartow has recently brought out a report on "Waters of Illinois."
In addition to these, an article on "Permanent Culverts," by Prof. A. S. Gearhart, of the department of Mechanical Engineering K. S. A. C., appeared in the "Canadian Engineer" of September 14. Mr. Gearhart is well known in University circles as State Highway Engineer.
A Masterless School.
A department of Journalism has been created by New York University which turns the course to instructors identified with its School of Commerce. Other Universities have established School of Journalism under the instruction of sociologists, political economists, educators of one sort or another. We have yet to hear of a School of Journalism directed by journalists. We wonder would a University think of engaging a clergyman to teach law, or a mechanical engineer to give instruction in medicine?
COMMUNICATION
To the Kansan;
What is the matter with the football banquet?
Are we a bunch of poor losers?
Where is that "fighting Jay-hawker spirit?"
Three years ago we had an all-victorious football team. Nothing was more natural, after that season was over, that we should celebrate—have a banquet where we could live over the season again, tell how it was done, and throw boquets at the team, individually and collectively. The atmosphere of the whole University was over-charged with enthusiasm, self-satisfaction, and the "Kansas spirit."
So the banquet was to be an annual affair—a tradition based upon the most successful team the University has ever had. It was "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. U." with a whoop and hurrah.
Now, we are told that the football banquet will not take place because of lack of support on the part of the student body.
What is the matter with K. U.? Shall this tradition perish because we haven't been able to have all-victorious teams every year? Must we beat Missouri before we can have any "Kansas spirit?" Or does the "Kansas spirit" mean great jubilantism in victory, great silence in defeat relieved only by the noise or knocking on the team? Are we bunch of "fair weather" sports—a lot of Poor Losers?
To a loyal Kansan, prejudice toward K. U. if anything, the only answer to this is a shame-faced "Yes." Baker tied us—groans and predictions of failure. We walloped St. Mary's—wild hilarity and much "Kansas spirit." The "Aggies" gave us a hard game—more groans. We didn't beat Washburn badly enough—Oklahoma was lucky to beat us——.
But why continue? If we can't support our team and our coach up and down, victory and defeat and maintain our tradition by showing this year's team that we are not disappointed in them, but rather, proud of the clean games and the hard fights they put up—then why not cease talking about that "Kansas spirit?"

PATTERSON WON SECOND
Kansan Nosed Out By Former Tiger Opponent.
In a five mile cross-country run which took place in Kansas City on Thanksgiving day, Patterson of Kansas won second place, being defeated by Johnson the former Missouri star who ran for the Kansas City Athletic Club. Eleven men were entered in the race, three, Patterson, Murray and Hartman, for Kansas, five representing the University of Missouri, two representing K. C. A. C. and one was unattached. The time, 28 min. and 30 sec., was good, especially considering the condition of the course. Patterson led until near the finish when Johnson passed him. Murray finished sixth and Hartman eighth.
Betas Had Turkey Pull.
The Beta Theta Pi fraternity held its thirty-seventh annual Turkey pull at the chapter house last Tuesday evening. The dinner was followed by a dance and 120 persons attended. Many alumni and other out of town guests were present. Music was furnished by Haley's orchestra. Speeches were made by W. S. Kninner, president of the Kansas City Terminal Railway Company, Prof. Erasmus Haworth and Dr. F. A. Wilbur.

MORE FELLOWSHIPS IN NEAR FUTURE
INSUFFICIENT ROOM FOR LABORATORIES HERE.
Important Work To Be Taker Up—Department Receives Additional Equipment.
Doctor Robert Kennedy Duncan, head of the department of Industrial Chemical Research at the Universities of Kansas and Pittsburg, arrived here yesterday from Pittsburg, for his second inspection this year.
Professor Duncan said that the work here shows great progress and that he was exceedingly well pleased with the development which has been made.
"Although no definite report can be made at this time, remarkable results have been obtained in the whole department," declared Dr. Duncan.
"The field was never so broad nor the prospects so bright as they are at the present," he continued. "Besides the fellowships here, we now have twenty-three at Pittsburg, and soon that number will be extended to fifty. They are now held in abeyance for the simple reason that we do not have adequate accommodations for such a number here. No new fellowships will be granted at present but some which will be conferred in the near future are much more important than any of those which are held now."
The industrial chemistry department is constantly adding apparatus to its laboratories. A number of platinum crucibles to be used mostly in the fellowship in petroleum have been received and also an electrical apparatus called a milliammeter to be used in determining the properties that paints and varnishes have to withstand weathering.
STUDENTS PUBLISH BOOK
"Tiger Book" Will be History of Missouri Athletics.
A "Tiger Book" devoted to University Athletics is to be published at the University of Missouri. A group picture of all the Missouri fooball teams will be included in the book, and it will record all events of school athletic History. Students of the School of Journalism were instrumental in getting the project started. The publication will cost about $1,000.
Defends Yale Roistorers.
The Dean of the Yale academic department who investigated the rioting in the New Haven theater last month where eight Yale men were arrested, is incensed at the actions of the New Haven police toward Yale students on the night of the disturbance. He says there was no drunkenness or disorder among the students and that a good deal of the theater smashing was done by others than Yale men. The manager of the theater declares he will sue the city on account of the inadequate police protection on the night of the fracas.
No War Between Japan and U. S. "All war talk between the United States and Japan is the malicious gossip of either fools or knaves," said President David Starr Jordan of Stanford in a recent address to the students of Stanford. The President has just returned from a seven weeks' intimate visit in the land of the cherry blossom.
No War Between Japan
Dr. Jordan was invited to meet the Mikado and spent some time in the presence of the emperor. During his trip President Jordan delivered no less than sixty-four addresses in Corea and Japan to representative Japanese audiences, mostly under the auspices of the local peace societies. He states that transportation facilities have not improved in the eleven years since his last visit as have the other economic factors in the land.-The Stanford Daily.

Michigan Administration Recently Made Investigations by Personal Letters.
WHY ENGINEERS
DO NOT RETURN
At the University of Michigan an investigation was recently held to find out why so many of the students in the School of Engineering did not come back for the second year. The total enrollment for 1909-10 was 1335, and of this number 386, besides those graduating, did not return. Letters were sent to 200 of these and 125 replied.
The reasons for departures, in general can be classified as follows; Miscellaneous, 13; ill health, 19; dissatisfaction with the department, 8; change of institution, 9; change of course or department, 19; desire for practical experience, 21; and lack of funds, 36.
The relatively small number of letters which contained any adverse criticism and the large number that gave lack of funds as the cause for absence is especially notable.
Thirteen Lectures to be Given in as Many Cities.
FACULTY TO LECTURE
The department of University Extension has made arrangements for eight of the professors to give thirteen talks at different towns in the state in the next month. Most of these talks will be before teachers' associations or at extension centers. In this way the people throughout the state become acquainted with the University and its work. The days on which the professors will speak and the places are: Prof. R. R. Price of the department of University Extension spoke before a meeting of the Lawrence Wonlen's Suitrage club at the county court house this afternoon at 3 o'clock.
On Friday, Dec. 1, Prof. W. L. Burdick of the School of Law will speak at Atchison. His subject will be “The Eternal City.” On the same day Prof. C. G. Dunlap of the department of English will speak at Horton. On Saturday, Dec. 2, Prof. A. W. Trettien, principal of the Oread high school, will be at Bennington; and Prof. Price will go to Thayer. On Thursday, Dec. 7, Prof. H. W. Josselyn of the School of Education will give an address at Iola. On Friday, Dec. 8, four professors will give addresses. They are Professors Dunlap at Olathe, C. H. Gray of the department of English at Osawatomie, Trettien at Eskridge and F. H. Hodder of the department of history at Hutchinson. On Saturday, Dec. 9, Prof. C. H. Johnston, the high school visitor, will speak at Topeka, and Prof. Price at Holton. On Friday, Dec. 15, Prof. Dunlap will lecture at Horton.
The Abnormal Freshman.
The poor freshman has a hard life. He gets its coming and going. No matter what he does, he is always doing the wrong thing. If he dresses to meet traditions, he is centured; if he does not dress to meet traditions he is ducked. Since he has had nothing but the "ducking" in Indiana, we present the censure by R.B. von Kleinsmid of DePauw University, the article being taken from the Indianapolis Star.
"Modern freshmen are abnormal and the product of unnatural conditions, according to R. B. von Kleinsmid of DePauw University in a lecture last night on "Adolescent Physiology" at the Y. M. C. A. He said that only abnormal boys of their age can wear muddy shoes with trousers rolled up to the fourth cuff, displaying the ugliest part of the human body—the feet, and wear the other clothes affected by the modern freshman. Many boys have to grit their teeth to do so, he said. The reason they do, he said, is because they wished to socialize.
The reason they do, he said, is because they wished to socialize. —The Daily Indianan.

ONE MORE RECORD BROKEN
Highest Barometric Pressure Recorded in November.
The highest barometric pressure ever recorded at the University of Kansas was registered here last month at 29.963. This means that the air was denser, and heavier than at any other time in the records of the University weather bureau, which date from 1868. Professor Cady's report says that the month was windier, colder, snowier, but less cloudy than usual. The minimum temperature, 4.5 degrees, is nine degrees below the normal minimum but lacks two or three degrees of being the lowest.
There were four earthquakes during the month, their points of similarity leading to the conclusion that they were of common origin.
The prevailing wind was from the southwest, and the distance the wind travelled was 11,360 miles. This is about four hundred miles above the average. The mean hourly velocity was 15.7 miles.
FACULTY TO MAKE CANDY
K. U. Dames Will Entertain Next Wednesday Afternoon.
Has the faculty a sweet tooth? If it has, and is right good to its wives this week, it may have an opportunity to indulge its saccharose appetencies next Wednesday evening. For Wednesday afternoon the K. U. Dames will make candy with Mrs. Thompson, at 1008 Alabama, and each member is expected to bring material for the manufacture o enough confectionery to provide for the hungry Profs. at home. And maybe there'll be some left over for the little Profs.
Quill Elect Eight.
Mrs. Herbert Hungerford will be in charge of the meeting.
At a meeting of the Quill club last Tuesday, the following were elected to membership: Brownie Angle, Margaret Darrah, Eleanor Draper, Inez Smith, Maud Swisher, W. M. Burkholder, C. F. Farnsworth, Homer Hoyt, Earl Potter and Allen Wilber. New members are chosen by the club from among those recommended by the faculty of the department of English.
Another election of new members will be held before the Christmas holidays.

ENGINEERS HAVE CHRISTMAS DANCE
INFORMAL AFFAIR IN GYM
DECEMBER 16.
Will Have Elaborate Evergreen Decorations—Will be Annual Function.
In order that they will not be entirely out-done by their old time rivals, the law students the engineers have planned a dance for Saturday evening, December 16, in Robinson gymnasium. While the event will in no way be as large or elaborate an affair as the Law Scrim, the Engineers intend to have just as good a time as their barristar brothers.
A three piece orchestra will be placed in the center of the gymnasium floor. Evergreens will be draped around the walls of the room and electric lighted pins of the different schools represented in the School of Engineering will blaze forth from behind the evergreen. No refreshments will be served, the affair being entirely informal. The faculty as well as the students will attend. It will be made an annual affair and will be known as the Engineer's Christmas Dance. An admission of fifty cents per couple will be charged.

A schedule of matches with wrestlers from other institutions and one between the different classes, will be arranged as soon as possible.
So Says Mr. Fite of Harvard Dean Johnston Replies in Nation.
UNIVERSITIES CANNOT
MAKE SCHOOL MA'S
That "School-ma'ms" should start to teach at once, practicing on the children of the different communities, is the opinion of a Mr. Fite, who in a recent number of "The Nation," begins to rival Mr. Crane of Chicago in criticizing the universities of the country.
Mr. Fite, who evidently is trying to live up to his name, is a professor at Harvard, but still believes that intending teachers should not take courses in teaching at universities or normal schools. Though a teacher himself, he says it is a waste of time and an absurdity for intending pedagogues to practice teaching at college.
Prof. C. H. Johnston of the School of Education at the University of Kansas replied to the attack by an article, also in "The Nation." According to Prof. Johnston, Mr. Fite overlooks the fact that by his method the teacher also begins practicing on children, or "mere humans" as Mr. Fite calls them. Moreover Prof. Johnston shows that Mr. Fite's method would be exceedingly expensive and unsatisfactory to the states, that would try to use inexperienced teachers.
TEST CONCRETE BEAMS.
Senior Hydraulic Engineers do Elaborate Work on Thesis
Finding the effect of repeated loads upon re-inforced concrete beams is the joint problem assigned to J. J. Tucker, H. Stockwell, H. S. Wilson, T. P. Humphrey, and H. H. Houk, Hydraulic Engineers, in the annual Senior engineering thesis now being assigned.
Under the direction of Professor Corp, a machine for testing is being erected in Fowler shops by which reinforced concrete beams may be subjected to great and repeated pressure, similar to pressures to be expected in practical construction work and a "fatigue" limit determined for certain makes of beams. In warehouses, large building, piers, etc., concrete beams stand repeated shocks, and it is the purpose of these tests to determine the maximum loading which such beams can stand.
Two years ago Professor Corp and Prof. H. A. Rice started a series of similar tests which were never completed. Now, with the apparatus in Fowler Shops, beams will be subjected to loads varying from 90 per cent of estimated efficiency down to those showing that the beam is uninjured or not at all affected. Definite data will be taken, experiments with all extremes of loading made, until a point of elimination is reached where the beams show no "fatigue" under its load. From these experiments definite estimates for actual construction can be made—regarding foundations for large a very important question now structures.
Last Thursday evening about eighty men gathered at Myers hall to eat apples, and pumpkin pies and drink cider. This jollification was planned by the Y. M. C. A. for the benefit of the men who did not go home for the holidays.

THE UNIVERSITY KANSAN.
VOLUME VIII.
SO SAY THEY ALL,
"WE WANT A DAILY"
LAWRENCE, KANSAS THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1911.
KANSAN SUGGESTION IS WELL RECEIVED.
Many Students Express Favor able Attitude—Feel That we Must Keep Pace With Other Colleges.
Judging by the favorable attitude of a large number of students who have communicated with the University Kansan, the movement for the establishing on a daily has unanimous sanction. In every instance the students state that the University needs a daily and that proper support ought to be given it by the student body. The following is a partial list of those who have expressed themselves in regard to the movement:
Ralph Yoeman: "The Kansan is a popular article with the students. If it could be made a daily, everybody would be better satisfied, besides it would be a dandy advertisement for the University."
"I think the Daily Kansan would be a good thing, and that the students, the freshmen at least, will support it," said "Scully" Waugh. "I always read the Kansan and enjoy it; I know nothing much about it but I favor the proposition of a daily, and think it is the thing we need."
"Come on, boys, we're with you." Earl Ammons.
"The Kansan as a daily appeals to me," said Arch MacKinnon. "I would not, however, like to see the paper pass out of student control. The necessary support for such a project as a daily could doubtless be obtained."
"I would certainly like to see the Kansan made a daily," said Beulah Murphy. "I think though that the editorial columns of the paper should remain in the control of the student body. I would not like to see the Kansan made a paper such as the publication at K. S. A. C. where the college activities receive little attention."
"The plan suggested in Tuesday's Kansan looking toward a daily issue should touch a responsive chord in every K. U. student who cherishes the welfare of his school." Ira C. Snyder.
Edmund Rhodes, when asked his opinion as to making the Kansan a daily paper, gave out the following: "There is no doubt but that it would be the best thing for the school but the practical side appeals very strongly to me. Could the necessary support of the student body and down town merchants be obtained? That is the biggest question in my mind and if this can be answered advantageously I am heartily in favor of it."
"It is a burning shame that the fires of University patriotism have been allowed to burn so low, as to allow the other schools of the Missouri Valley to have dailies while the University has been content with a tri-weekly. It is time for Kansas to have a daily." This is the way Donald McKay regards the campaign.
The Men's Student Council at their last meeting expressed a friendly attitude toward the movement. They passed the following resolution: "Resolved, That the Men's Student Council endorse the movement of the University Kansan for a daily and give it our hearty support."
"I most heartily endorse the plan of making the University Kansan a daily publication. By making the paper a daily the students of the University would be brought in closer touch with the current events and the benefit that the University would receive or derive from the daily is
(Continued on page 4).
NUMBER 34.
CHANCELLOR'S WORD
To The Kansan:
A university as large and important as the University of Kansas needs a daily paper. It would insure a better news service for the whole institution, a better knowledge of what the University is doing and a more accurate reflection of the best spirit of the institution. It would also greatly facilitate the work in journalism and unify all of the journalism and publicity work. I hope very much that the student body and faculty will cordially support the movement for a daily Kansan.

PLANS FOR LAW SCRIM COMPLETED
Guests of Honor Are Prominent Barristers and Football Squad And Coaches.
Plans are now practically complete for the Law "Serim" which will take place in Fraternal Aid hall, Friday, December 15. This is the event given by the School of Law in honor of the football squad and Ira Snyder promises that nothing has been left undone to make the affair one of the most successful ever given and to show the football boys the feeling which this school in the University bears toward the team.
The second Fine Arts faculty concert will be an organ recital by Dean Skilton in Fraser half tonight at 8:15. Admission will be free.
The guests for the evening besides the squad will be Governor and Mrs. W. R. Stubbs, Chief Justice and Mrs. Johnson, Manager and Mrs. Hamilton, Coach Sherwin, Professor and Mrs. Thorpe, Cancellor and Mrs. Strong, and the faculty of the School of Law.
Dean Skilton Gives Recital
Metcalf Inspects K. N. G.
Examinations to remove conditions in Economics I will be given December 12 at 3:00 p.m. in the Economics office. Room 204 Administration building.
Co. Wilder S. Metcalf, Kansas National Guard, will inspect the non-commissioned officers and the accountrements of Provisional Company A, K. N. G., at the University today. Colonel Metcalf who gained distinction in the Philippine war, reside in Lawrence. He is no longer connected with the United States Army, but has charge of the state militia.
Economics Exams.
A unique emblem in the shape of a football has been designed and each member of the squad will wear one of these as a badge of honor. Novel schemes for decoration are promised by the committee. Halls orchestra will furnish the music for the evening.
On the receiving line will be, Governor and Mrs. Stubbs, on the part of the state; Chief Justice and Mrs. Johnson, on the part of the Supreme Court of Kansas, the faculty of the School of Law and their wives, Ira Snyder, president of the senior Laws John Hoffman, president of the middle Laws and Guy Vor Schrittz, president of the junior Laws.
HOORAY! A REAL FOOTBALL BANQUET
BIG STAG INFORMAL NEXT WEDNESDAY EVENING.
Fraternities, Class Societies And Other Organizations to Put on Stunts—Big Eats.
There is going to be a football banquet anyway. For the past two years the Y. M. C. A. has had charge of this event but owing to a lack of support they declined to take the responsibility of financing the affair this year. At a meeting of the Men's Student Council Tuesday evening it was decided that the custom of the student body showing their appreciation for those who have fought on the gridiron ought not be abolished. Accordingly plans were made for the biggest stag affair that this University has ever seen.
Fraternal Aid hall has been secured for next Wednesday evening and from eight o'clock on the evening will be given up to an informal good time. Uncle Jimmy will speak and several of the football enthusiasts among the faculty will give short speeches.
Although the Men's Student Council will have direct charge of the affair, all the fraternities, societies and other organizations of the school will be asked to co-operate in making the evening enjoyable. The University Glee club will sing and a home made orchestra will play. The Sachems will meet this evening to decide on the stunt that they will put on. It is rumored that they will pull off some high jinks which will have local application. The Friars and the Black Helmets will both stage some stunts and all of the fraternities will appear on the program. The Scoop Club, which has gained some reputation as the composer and singer of sweet songs, has been asked to contribute something suitable for the occasion n and their bards are already at work.
And listen! The Women's Student Council will be seen in executive session. No, the women themselves will not be present but it is rumored that the members of the Men's Council will show how their sisters conduct a meeting.
A hydraulic press, with a pressing power of eighty tons, is being installed in the industrial chemistry department. The machine weights a ton and will be operated by hand. Oil is used to get the high pressure. The pressure will be used in experimental work of making buttons, artificial wood, and to make bricks for determining tensile strength
Friday evening a farewell reception will be given in Myers hall for "Dad" Herman, ex-secretary of the Y. M. C. A., who is going to leave the University next Monday. An informal affair has been planned by the chairman of the social committee All the men of the University are invited to come and give "Dad" a farewell handshake. There will be refreshments and several clever stunts.
And there will be lots to eat. It was decided to do away with any formality and a regular "free lunch" will be served. The Laws have agreed to allow their favorite Blackstone punch which is used only on state occasions, to be served.
Install Hydraulic Press.
Herman Will Say Goodbye.
The tickets for the big affair will go on sale tomorrow morning at chapel time and will sell for fifty cents. The committee in charge has decided to limit the number of tickets sold to three hundred and if you wish to attend you had better buy your tickets early.
KILLED IN PISTOL FIGHT
Former K. U. Student First Killed Two Assailants.
Wesley Stout, a student in the College who left school in 1908 was shot and killed in a pistol fight at Monclova, Mexico, Monday night. A letter was received from Montclova at San Antonio, Texas, stating that Stout was drawn into a quarrel, cause unknown. He was unarmed at the time, but wrested a pistol from a Mexican, one of his assailants, and before he was shot down killed two assailants, the Mexican and a gambler. He had arrived in Monclova several days before the tragedy and was identified by papers.

MINERS HAVE RIGHT OF WAY IN MEXICO
E. J. Schrader, Told of Laws And Rights Allowed Foreign Miners in Mexico.
"Mining is a public utility in Mexico," declared E. J. Schrader, a graduate of the Minnesota School of Mines, in a lecture, "Mining in Mexico," given before the Mining Journal Wednesday afternoon at Haworth hall. "Business, agriculture, railroads—all give way to the rights of the miner. So highly favored is the miner, that he can open up a mine upon another man's private property, and do so lawfully."
"Practically all the mines now operating in Mexico were once mined by the Spaniards," said Mr. Schrader. "Moreover, many of these old mines, of which we still have records, have never yet been re-discovered by the Americans and other foreigners, who are alone responsible for the development of Mexican mining properties."
Mr. Schrader, who is just back from five years experience in the mining districts of Sonora, Mexico, drew some very important comparisons between Mexican and American mining law, told how the mining engineer must adapt himself to the peculiar conditions in Mexico, and gave some very interesting history of Mexican mining.
McKay And Gephart Want Money For Blankets.
According to Mr. Schrader, Americans predominate in the mining industry there. Drawing on his own experience, he gave some interesting ideas concerning the Mexican laborer, and the problems which a young engineer will meet in Mexico.
COLLEGE MEN, PAY UP!
Math Club Meets.
There will be a meeting of the Students' Mathematical club tomorrow afternoon at 4:30, in room 103, Administration building. The constitution will be submitted for adoption. All advanced students of math. and allied subjects are invited to come.
There is still a large shortage in the fund that is being raised for blankets for the football squad. This shortage is entirely due to the failure of students in the College to pay the subscriptions that they made several weeks ago. It is requested by Donald McKay and "Brick" Gephart, officers of the College, that all those who have not paid their subscriptions should do so before 12 o'clock Friday. These men will be at the old check stand in Fraser at chapel time tomorrow.
GOOD THING TO GET THE DAILY HABIT
BETTER KANSAN WILL BE COME A NECESSITY
Professor Thorpe Says Students After a Taste Won't do Without a Daily.
"A student daily paper at the University of Kansas will do more than any other one agency to unify and crystalize college life and spirit," said Prof. Merle Thorpe to a Kansan representative today. "It will bring all the various activities to each student each afternoon, thus making students better informed and as a result making them better Kansas men and women.
"I am confident of this: If the Kansan is published as a Daily for five months, the students would raise heaven and earth before they would go back to a thrice-a-week pamphlet. They would no more live without their daily paper than Kansas City would be content with a weekly."
Professor Thorpe said that the student body should not expect the managers of circulation and advertising, and the editor to work without some remuneration. The advertising manager is obliged to spend on an average of 80 hours a month in soliciting business, collecting copy, and reading proof, and finally collecting bills and keeping an intricate set of books. The circulation manager must solicit, arrange his routes, drill and look after his delivery boys, answer complaints, work daily on his circulation addresses and also keep a set of books. Prof. Thorpe thinks these men should be given a small per cent, say ten per cent, of the business.
"If I were the student body and owned a newspaper property I would rather have my business managers receiving a small remuneration, and the editor, say $20 a month, than to have men volunteer to do the work for nothing. Because then I should feel easier in asking these men to sacrifice their time and in holding them to their responsibilities than if they were doing the work gratis.
"Then there is another value to the paper. Men would work harder to get in line for these positions, and the paper would profit by this incentive. Nor would a man or woman who is working his way through college be prohibited from trying out for a Kansan position."
"Finally," said Prof. Thorpe, "the paper should be a student paper. It should have an undergraduate flavor or it will fail to supply the field. To this end students should always have entire control. The department of journalism, of course, should always be ready to offer help by way of advice and suggestions. "In one university at least the department of journalism gets out the student paper. The result is a hybrid, neither a metropolitan nor a college publication. This plan is bad. The students should have full control and responsibility. A good way to teach the libel law is to let the student editors talk to the plaintiff's lawyers."
Palette Club Has Sale

REGARDING THE GAME
Now that the annual Kansas Missouri football game has been played and on college grounds it is well to consider whether on not the late ruling that took the game away from Kansas City, is for the best.
In considering this question there are three separate and distinct bodies that are directly concerned. The first group to be considered is that large number of alumni who as graduate of their institution are now scattered all over the United States Just what their attitude is towards changing the game to Columbia and to Lawrence can be ascertained only by personal investigation. The Kansas City alumni represent, perhaps, the most flourishing alumni organization of this school and it is quite natural that they deprecate the recent ruling and are urging the return of the annual struggle to Kansas City. The wishes of all alumni must be respected. They represent a phase of college spirit as do those who are actually in school. They are the advertisement of what the University can produce. An expression of their attitude is not obtainable now but we believe that a majority of the University alumni favor the playing of the game in Kansas City. And we say this with a fear of denial by both alumni and others.
Reports from Missouri indicate that they are well pleased with the arrangement. Financially the game paid almost as well as it would in Kansas City. For the first time in years Missouri alumni came back to Columbia and it was a grand home coming for a great many. The students at the University of Missouri, viewing the matter from a pecuniary standpoint, probably—we say it advisedly—saved money. The trip to Lawrence next year will mean but little more to them than the annual pilgrimage to Kansas City. The game was a wonderful thing for Columbia and the Missourians are able to appreciate the advantages that they obtained.
In regard to the attitude that the students at this University should take, it is too early to speak. For years we have accustomed ourselves to think of the Missouri game and Kansas City as inseparable. This idea is thoroughly infused in the student body and any change that is made must prove itself before it will be accepted. The students at the University have no right
to say, at this time, that the game ought to be played in Kansas City. Indications are that there is a growing sentiment towards all college sports played on college grounds. The ruling in regard to football is the first step in this direction. No one can say that it is for the best or for the worst until it has been tried.
HELP US GET A DAILY
The University Kansan started its campaign for a daily this week and in this movement it wishes to enlist the support of every student in the University. That we need a daily is not questioned. If we are to keep pace with other schools it is necessary that we have a live college publication—and that a daily.
In our last issue an appeal was made to the student body for an expression of its attitude regarding the campaign. Replies to this editorial will be considered indicative of the general mind of the University.
We can only urge that every student make this a personal matter, one to which he will give some thought and attention. We want every one to express himself, either endorsing or opposing the idea, and these expressions will determine to a large extent

the future plans of the campaign.
The movement for a daily has been started and it must go forward to a successful conclusion.
It cannot stop until we have one of the finest college publications in the land. If the students show an apathy or disinterestedness the campaign cannot go forward and a lasting injury would be inflicted on the University. We have started something that we cannot afford to stop and you must help us push it along.
Let us hear from you.
COMMUNICATION
To The Kansan:
To all who attended chapel this morning it was very evident that the morning chapel services should be abolished or that some measure be adopted to attract the students and professors. Those present were 10 professors (including Chancellor Strong and the speaker Manager W. O. Hamilton) and 143 students in a school which claims an enrollment of 2500. What made the small number in attendance more apparent was the subject of the speech which was given by the manager of athletics. "The athletic situation and the past football season." This is one of the most important questions before the students and faculty of the University.
Fine Arts Give Recital.
The students in the organ voice and violin departments of the School of Fine Arts will give their fifth recital of the school year Tuesday December 12 at 4:30 in Fraser hall.
The constantly diminishing number of students who attend chapel can be explained in the actions of the majority of the professors. These professors do not attend chapel and at exactly 10:15 start their classes. In this way they have intimidated the students who fear to attend chapel because of the danger of coming in late and gaining the ill will of the instructor and possibly a cut.
This occurs to me at least three times a week. My 10:15 class is in the New Administration building and as soon as chapel is closed I hurry to class only to find the class in a well advanced discussion of the lesson. At present there are only about three of the students in this class of thirty who dare to attend chapel. It appears to me that the professors show a poor spirit toward the chapel exercises and that Chancellor Strong should correct this evil or abolish chapel as it invariably holds over five or six minutes past the allotted time.

MINERS VISITED JOPLIN
Inspected Mines, Smelters and Powder Plant.
Seven students in the School of Engineering went to Joplin Mo., with Prof. C; M. Young during the Thanksgiving vacation to visit the zine and copper mines at that place. Two mines a smelter, and several powder plants were inspected and many valuable suggestions for class work were obtained. The mine which costs the most to operate of any in the district, as well as the one which costs the least were both visited. Those who went were O. L. Andrews, D. H. Cadinus, C. M. Coats, R. M. Hoffman, A. D. Johnson, M. G. Monroe, A. H. Mangledsdorf.
Questionable Ethics
It would be of psychological interest to examine the minds of the men who steal books off the library reserve shelves and automatically anamass comfortable little book collections of their own, with little trouble and no expense. It is scarcely credible that any man would deliberately make an expedition to the library and wantonly bear away a book belonging to some one else, in order to appropriate it as an additional and useful bit on personal property. Self-delusion must exist in one form or and other. Perhaps a man flatter his himself that he is taking out a long lease on the book, with the ultimate intention of restoring it; or else he feels that the library is a University organization and in consequence exempt from the ordinary rules of morality. But whatever the delusion the result is the same. Professors go to the greatest trouble to exhaust expensive volumes from the unknown depths of the library and to have them placed on the reserve shelves. They even bring their own precious tomes over from their houses and put them at the mercy of the undergraduate, simply in order that students may accomplish the required reading with as little expense as possible. And the result of this generosity is that several professors (to say nothing of the library itself), have already this year lost valuable volumes some of them almost impossible to be replaced. If this continues the reserve shelf system will have to be abolished. Let the spoilers only find some other means of accumulating their ill-gotten libraries, and the vast and honest majority will not have to be deprived of an invaluable benefit solely on account of the despicable few.—Yale News.

STATE ORATORS STUDYING HARD
FORTY HIGH SCHOOLS IN DEBATING LEAGUE.
The Extension Department Busy Sending Out Library Material —Championship Debate Here in May.
Begining soon forty high schools of the state will be keep busy in a debating session which will last until next May. During which time questions of importance to every community of the state will be discussed. The advisability of adopting the pending amendment to the constitution of Kansas extending the right of suffrage to women, the commission plan of government single tax, parcels post, income tax, international disarmament initiative and referendum, short ballot and popular election of United States senators are subjects the high school men will discuss.
The high schools which will debate these questions belong to the Kansas High School Debating League. The Extension department of the University of Kansas is at the head of the league and furnishes bibliographies and reference to the debating teams. Much interest has already been taken by the schools and for some time the debaters have kept Prof. R. R. Price, head of the University Extension department, busy sending references and material.
Ashland High school won the final debate last year and received the large loving cup offered by the Board of Regents of the University for the championship debating team of the state. If Ashland wins this year it will be permanent possession of the cup However the other high school of the state are getting busy early.
WILL PLATE TOWN
Wellsville Makes Application For Aid in Making Map.
When some citizens of Wellsville saw by the papers that students from the University would go to Wichita to inspect a power plant there they decided to make application for the School of Engineering to send some students to their city to make surveys and draft a plate for the town.
Wellsville cannot afford to en gage an engineer to do the worl so several students will probably be sent there next week to do the job.
OPEN HOUSE FOR GIRLS
Mrs. J. W. Green Will Entertain
Every Saturday Afternoon
Open house for all the girls of the University will be held by Mrs. J. W. Green at her home at 637 Tennessee street every Saturday afternoon between 2:30 and 5:30 o'clock. These meetings will be entirely informal and all the girls are urged to attend. If the girls show sufficient interest in these informals they will be continued during the rest of the year.
The athletic council of Wisconsin has changed the rules under which the official "W" is awarded to football players. Hereafter a man must play in one-half of each of two Conference games or one whole game of that class. Or, if he plays in only one minute in a championship game, he is entitled to his "W."
Dr. Robert Kennedy Duncan who has been here inspecting the department of Industrial Chemical Research left yesterday for Chicago. From there he will return to the University of Pittsburg.

COLLEGE FRESHMEN LEAD IN CHAMPIONSHIP RAGE
Inter-School Series of Basket Ball Games has Been Started.
Basketball has made its annual entrance into the University in the freshman inter-school series which started this week. On Monday might the first College freshman five defeated the freshman Laws by the score of 14 to 6. On the same night the freshman engineers ran over the second College team to the tune of 10 to 2.
The first College five was again victorious last night and the result of the game with the freshman Engineers was 16 to 0. The freshman Laws came back after their previous defeat and walloped the second College team 16 to 6. These games will be played on each Monday and Thursday evenings in the gymnasium and it will require four more nights before each team has played every other team and the freshman inter-school championship is decided. There will be no game tonight.
The regular inter-school basketball series will start next Thursday and it will require three nights to complete these games. The College, Law School and Engineering schools will have teams.
COLD STORAGE EGGS
MUST BE STAMPED
State Board of Health Issues Orders Protecting Housewives From Bad Eggs.
No more will the Lawrence housewife have to play safe by going out on the back porch to break the eggs for breakfast. If they have been in cold storage too long she will know it because the fact will be plainly evident from the stamp on the package. Dr. S. J. Crumbine, dean of the medical school of the state University has issued the order through the state board of health that will protect all buyers of eggs in the state.
If the housewife orders "fresh eggs" and gets some bad ones, not bearing on the package the proper label, she can report the matter to Dr. Crumbine with the assurance that the offending dealer will hear something drop.
Placing Her.
If she goes with all the boys, she's a coquette. If she prefers a "steady" she couldn't get any-one else.
If she majors in Chem. on Greek she's queer. If she doesn't, she's looking for snap courses.
If she is athletic she loses her maidenly charm. If she isn't well, girls can't do very much anyhow.
If she doesn't wear a diamond, she's not engaged. If she does she's running a bluff.
If she belongs to a club, she's frivolous. If she doesn't, she couldn't get in.
If she asserts herself in class, she's strong-minded. If she doesn't, she hasn't any brains.
If she doesn't talk much, she is uninteresting. If she does, she is tiresome.

Many interesting facts in regard to the cost of living at the University have been brought to light by the reports that have been handed to the committee.

CONFERENCE MEET MAY BE CHANGED
KANSAS CITY MAY GET THE
CONTEST
Basketball And Baseball Schedule Will be Made—Officials Chosen.
The meeting of managers and coaches of Missouri Valley teams at Kansas City tomorrow may cause a change in the present arrangement of conference track meets. A triangular system of dual meets between Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska, track teams will probably be arranged and schedules will be made for basketball ball and baseball.
"The attendance at Des Moines to the Valley meets has been poor," stated Manager Hamilton yesterday, "and as Missouri and Washington are willing, the meet probably will be taken away from Des Moines. Unless Drake agrees, however, this year's meet will have to be held there since the conference agreed to hold the contests there for three years providing the Iowa schools discontinue their state meet. This is the third year of the compact."
If Kansas City is decided upon as a place for the valley meet Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska will have a track meet each year at their respective schools. Nebraska could come here, Kansas go to Columbia and the Tigers to Lincoln.
This meeting of coaches and referees of the Missouri Valley is due to the initiative of Kansas and several officials have written Manager Hamilton expressing their intention of attending. The purpose of the conference of coaches and officials is to arrive at a definite understanding upon the interpretation to be placed upon rules governing holding, pushing, blocking and dribbling.
Some trouble was experienced last year by coaches and their teams when they attempted to play one style of basketball against opponents who were coached in the opposite extreme. Advantage of rougher methods was allowed by officials and victories were won by unfair means. Six men will be chosen who will officiate at all Missouri Valley Conference games. Those who have signified intentions of attending the conclave are Toutou of Central high school; Hoopes and Harman of Westport high school; Storms and Allen of the Y. M. C. A.; Ashley of the K. C. A. C.; Hoover of Baker, Quigley of St. Marys, and Bond of Kansas.
MEMORIAL CHAPEL

Memorial services for the late Mrs. Sara Robinson, widow of Ex-governor Charles Robinson, will be held in chapel Friday morning.

The University quartet will sing.
LABOR LEADER TO SPEAK

beyond my power to determine. I assure you my support." Jesse Gephart.
"The Kausan ought to be made a daily by all means but the students should have full control of the paper. The faculty should have no supervision whatever," stated Ellis Davidson.
"I am heartily in favor of making the Kansan a daily issue and will lend all the assistance that I can in order to aid the proiect." Burton Sears.
Don Dousman: "The Kansan has never fully covered the athletic news on the hill. If we had a daily it could do so, much better than at present. I'll do all I can to help."
When asked as to what his opinion was of publishing the
University Kansan as a daily, Melvin Kates said: "I think it's a mighty good plan and I would like to see it go through. I think I speak the sentiment of the majority of the students as in all whom I have talked to about it I have not found one knocker."
Carl Hicks said: "It's a good thing. We ought to be on a par with the other schools in this respect as well as other activities."
Harry Weaver said that he would be in favor of it if the faculty had no part in the control or the molding of the policy of the paper. When assured that the students would have entire control except in regard to the auditing committee which would remain practically the same as it is now he said, "It will be a fine thing. I hope to see an enlarged newsy daily paper next month which this school is undoubtedly large enough to support."
Charles Dolde said: "I'm all for it. It needs pushing along." "The thing to do is to get behind the daily and push. Our University should have a daily

Everett Brummage said this morning in regard to the proposition of making the Kansan a daily paper: "It is the only thing to do. We are the only large University in this section of the country that does not have a daily paper. With the journalism facilities now being installed there is no reason why it should not be a great success."
$3.50 and $4.00 at

"The Kansan ought to be a daily. If it were the paper would be on a par with papers of those of other universities, it would cover the news of the school more thoroughly and would be of more interest to the students," said Elmer Dittmar.
"The University of Kansas should have as good a paper as other large universities do," was the remark of Bess Bozell. "I think the students would come out and support a daily too."
Asher Hobson: "Let us tell the one thousand high schools throughout the state of our grea University. Let us tell them through a daily Kansan."
Hal Harlan showed his approval by saying: "It is the best proposition I have ever heard of being pushed in this University. There is no doubt but what the desired subscribers could be obtained as it is just what the students and surrounding community want. If they can pick up a paper with some good live news in it, they will be much more willing to give it their support tha nthey would the paper that contains news three or four days old. I am heartily in favor of the movement."
A. R. Buzick said: "A University is judged by its paper. Why should not the Kansas represent the strength of Kansas University? If it were a daily it would."
"This scheme to make the University Kansan should receive the support of every student. It will mean much to the school." Arvid Frank.
"I would like to see the Kansan a daily by all means," was the statement of Bruce Hurd "I think the necessary subscriptions could be had by systematic campaign among the students."
Gilbert Bragg was much in favor of the plan. He said "The University Kansan as a daily certainly meets with my approval. The obtaining of a sufficient number of subscribers would be the only argument against it, but I believe that when the students see what a decided improvement it is over the old paper they would come through with very little urging."
George Stuckey, when interviewed upon his opinion of the Kansan becoming a daily said: "The students like to read the Kansan because they know they are getting all of the news of the University. However, the local papers appear daily and the students read them as they are many times able to scoop the Kansan because of its handicap of appearing only three times a week. I am satisfied that a daily will get the support of the student body."
"I want to see the proposition for a Daily Kansan go through" says Robert E. Lee. "It is a mighty good thing, there is no doubt that we need it, and I don't see why it can't be done. The University and the students of the University need it."

Kansan Wants to Announce in Its Next Issue That Enterprise is Assured.
The following Kansas-spirited men have volunteered to represent the Kansan in their respective schools:
The Kansan wants to announce a Daily Kansan in its Tuesday's issue.
It can do so if 500 students will fill out blanks promising to support the new publication.
The blanks will be given out a the Kansan office, 110 Fraser Monday.
Old subscribers will receive the Daily the rest of the year without additional charge. Several have expressed their intention of sending a copy home. The Kansan will mail a copy for the same price. Other subscribers have said they would each procure a new subscriber.
The executive committee of the Merchants Association has promised the support of Lawrence merchants provided the students do their share.

The vart-colored costumes of the masquerads blended with the fraternity streamers and multi-colored electric lights with which the hall was decorated About the middle of the evening the lights throughout the hall were winked out and a large "harvest moon" rose over the heads of the orchestra to the tune of "The Pink Lady." The enthuasm was with which the "moon" was met caused it to be used almost exclusively for the remainder of the evening.
M'CLUNG PRESIDENT OF THE CONFERENCE
Committees Reported at Meeting This Morning—Home Economic Girls Served Dinner.
At the meeting of the Missouri Valley Conference in Robinson gymnasium this morning only a small part of the work to be done, was finished.
Dr. C. E. McClung of Kansas was elected president of the conference for the next year.
The reports of committees were heardand the invitation was extended to other schools that wish to enter the Conference to appear with their petitions before the meeting this afternoon.
The meeting was adjourned shortly after twelve and the members were served with dinner by the Home Economics department in the basement of Fraser hall.
In the afternoon meeting which convened at three o'clock the football and baseball situation will be discussed.
HASKELL WALLOPED
OTTAWA. 51 TO 6
Red Skins Were Speed Fiends on End Runs and Handling Forward Passes.
The football squad and about 150 students of the University saw Bert Kennedy's Haskell Indians wallop Ottawa by the score of 51 to 6 in a post season football game on Haskell field yesterday afternoon.
The Indians had been trained to play the open style game and from the start of the game until the close Artichoker, Tayah and Rooe circled the Ottawa ends for long runs. The Baptists were outclassed in every department of the game yesterday. It was a signal victory for Haskell as Ottawa had tied Washburn and William Jewell during the season.
The event was something of a Kansas affair as Kennedy, the Redskin coach, turned out many winning teams in the years that he coached the Jayhawkers. "Box" Dahleh, the referee, is a former Kansas star and played fullback on the ever-victorious team in 1908. Pete Heil, the star quarterback of this year's team, acted as field judge and Jay Bond the freshman coach was head lineman.
To the University students at the game it seemed that they were seeing a contest on McCook field as the Haskell band plays "Booil" and the rooters have adopted nearly all of the Kansas yells. The girls at Haskell have a "rooting section" of their own and they yell as loud as the boys.

If you do want to see these things you had better buy your ticket right away for the big stag informal to be held in Fraternal Aid hall next Wednesday evening. Yesterday the tickets for the big event were put on sale and within a half an hour there were over one hundred tickets sold. Interest in the big event is being created in all the schools and the Men's Council expects to have a packed house when they stage the big performance next Wednesday.
At a meeting of the Sachems last Thursday it was decided to produce ten minutes of melodrama and a committee is now at work writing the lines. The old saw mill, the dynamite explosion the villain with his plug hat, the beautiful heroine and the loving lover will all be seen. Soft music by the Sachem orchestra will be played throughout the performance.
The Scoop club has decided to issue a scandall edition for the benefit of the onlookers and those who attend the smoker will see how a real live "sheet" is produced. The paper will be printed on the stage and will be delivered to all present free of charge, all others a dollar a copy. The Scoopers will take their regular hike next Wednesday and will go to Biermann's immediately after noon to practice for the evening's entertainment.
The Friars and the Black Helmets will meet this evening to perfect their plans for their stunts and tomorrow morning the Pan-Hellenic will make arrangements to stage something of interest. Jesse Gephart states that any society or club that desires to have a part on the program should communicate with him before tomorrow noon as definite arrangements must be made soon.
Tickets will go on sale again Monday and if you ever expect to have a good time you had better purchase a little red tag.

Thirty six basketball gam have been scheduled by the en universities that belong to the Big Eight Conference. The season opens on January 6 and lasts to March 16. The schedule gives practically every university an opportunity to play every other school in its class.
Big Eight Universities Pla. Basketball Two Months.
PICTURE OF MRS.
ROBINSON IN FRASER
Dean Blackmar Shows Four Photographs of University's Friend.
Four photographs of Mrs. Sara Robinson, the property of Prof. F. H. Blackmar, were placed in the lower hall of Fraser so that those who attended the memorial exercises in her memory, at chapel yesterday were able to see a likeness of the staunch friend of the University who died at her home near Lawrence recently.
The largest photograph was taken in 1898 and shows Mrs. Robinson as she was in the last decade before her death. Her old friends who have known the woman since pioneer days, will be more interested in the other three pictures. One was taken in 1847, another in 1857, and the third in 1864.
BROWNLEE WAS ELECTED CAPTAIN
Next season will be Brownlee's last year in football. He played on the varsity in '09 and this year. Before coming to the University he played two years on the Cooper Academy team, at Sterling, Kansas. In '08 he mad the Freshmen team and in the next year had little trouble in making the varsity.
At the annual banquet given last Thursday night by the Athletic Board for the football team of the University, Harold Brownlee was unanimously elected captain of the 1912 team. Brownlee played a star game at right end this year and his ability to get down under punts was equalled by no end of the valley teams.
Unanimous Vote For The Star
End—Band And Rooters
Serenaded Squad.
"It looks like we would have a good team next year," said the newly elected captain. "There will be some good material from this year's freshmen team and five or six of the old men will be back to give the team the necessary amount of 'old heads,'"
A rousing time was created at the banquet by the K. U. band which played a serenade for the team. It was not long after the strains of "Boola, Boola," were begun until almost a hundred University students 'turned up' from some where any joined in a healthy "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. U." for the team.
"You never find any better spirit than that anywhere," said Coach Sherwin, as the band was playing and the students were cheering.
Rocky Mountain Champions.
The University of Colorado won the football championship in the Rocky Mountain Conference. The other universities in the conference in the order they finished are; Utah, Denver University, Colorado College, Colorado School of Mines, and the Colorado Agricultural College.
FOR A DAILY KANSAN
In the last three years the University of Colorado has scored 301 to their opponents' eight points.
In order to make a Daily Kansan possible I will be one of 500 students to promise to pay on or before February first $1.25 for a five months' subscription, beginning January 6.

Seven Expert Engineers Will Give Addresses at Meeting in Marvin Hall.
Prof. P. F. Walker of the Mechanical Engineering department is endeavoring to make the University of Kansas the center of all engineering activities for this section of the country. For this purpose he has sent out one hundred and thirty five invitations to engineers in the state of Kansas and Kansas City Mo., to attend the Third Annual Meeting of the University of Kansas Student Section of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Thursday December 14.
Two meetings will be held in the main lecture room of Marvin hall, the first Thursday morning at 10:15 and the second in the afternoon at 2:30. During these sessions the following papers will be read :

WILL YOU DO YOUR PART?
Feb. 19-26—C. Alphonso Smith of the University of Virginia will give series of lectures .
It has been suggested, and justly, that the practical side of the proposition will be difficult of solution. It has been said that sufficient subscriptions cannot be obtained and that sufficient advertising cannot be secured to justify the increase in the number of papers issued. In regard to the support from the Kansan advertisers, it is recognized that there will be some difficulty in the beginning. From the first of January until March there will probably be a daily loss on each issue. But the Kansan believes that, if given proper support from the student body, it can tide itself over until a better time comes. That the advertisers will give us their moral and financial support in the movement has been assured Present indications show that the advertisers will do their part if the students do their part.
The interest that has been manifested in the movement for a daily Kansan is extremely encouraging. In every instance the students have expressed themselves as being strongly in favor of keeping abreast of our rival colleges in the Missouri Valley.
The sole remaining question then is: Will the student body get behind the movement and push? Are they willing to sacrifice a little in order to bestow a lasting benefit upon their University.
The Kansan has received communications from a number of students and they all favor the plan. Were YOU among those who ANSWERED the appeal? When the call for subscriptions come will YOU subscribe?
Just how badly do YOU want a daily?
A WRONG CUSTOM.
There is a custom in vogue at the University that is rarely found in any of the large colleges. According to a long established custom the entire football squad elects its captain. This idea has been thoroughly worked out at other schools and it has been found to be impractical. If, for instance, there had been a contest over the selection of a captain this year, the vote of the man who played but a few minutes would have counted as much as that of the regular varsity man who played in every game.
The University ought to provide that only those men who

have earned their "K" should be allowed to elect the leader for the next year. It is only justice to these men and to the candidates for the captaincy that the votes should be confined to those who have won their letter.
The situation that presented itself this year was wholly pleasant but in the future there may be a contest in which the matter of who should vote will play an important part.
BUY A TICKET.
It is a good thing that the Men's Student Council has undertaken the responsibility of providing some function at which, in a small degree, the appreciation of the men of the University for its giriron warrior may be shown. The apathy that was shown toward the annual banquet by the student body led the Y. M. C. A., which has hitherto had the affair in charge, to abandon the project. Determined that this annual custom shall not die out, the Men's Council has started plans for a big stag affair next Wednesday.
That every man owes a great deal to the team is granted and next Wednesday is the time to show how much you appreciate their efforts. The price of fifty cents makes it within the reach of all and as the affair is strictly informal there is no excuse why YOU should not be there.
Fall in line and buy a ticket and jolly up next Wednesday.
In the selection of Harold Brownlee to captain the Jayhawkers next year, his teammates acted wisely. For two years he has played an end on the varsity and both on offense and defense has gained a Missouri Valley reputation as a heady, fast, aggressive and clean player. His unanimous election indicates how highly he is regarded personally by his associates and under his direction the University is looking forward to a most successful season next year.
One of the finest exhibitions of real college spirit and loyalty that has ever been shown at the University was displayed by the band last Thursday evening. Wholly unsolicited they marched to the Eldridge House where the football banquet was in progress and semenated the football squad. Such marks of appreciation make the proper friendly feeling in the school.

Students Sang Hymn on Entering Quiz in Common Law Pleadings.
It was a sad bunch of young lawyers who filled the lower corridor in Green hall the other afternoon. Their faces were downcast and their spirits drooped. They stood in groups and talked in low mumbling tones. Some scanned quiz books eagerly, others attempted to look unconcerned. But there was an aspect of fear which the casual onlooker could not understand. Of a sudden the door of a room opened and Professor Higgins appeared
"It's a Common Law Pleadings quiz," sighed one of the men as he made a move toward the open door, but he stopped Someone started a familiar Bible hymn and the forty men sang i with pathos—then the quiz.
AID FRESHMEN ATHLETES
Wearers of "I" Organize to Keej Them Eligible.
Plans are under way at the University of Iowa for the formation of a new "I" club. The new organization will be founded by prominent Iowa athletes and will be for the promotion of athletics at Iowa. The underlying idea is to have a system of coaching and admonition to the freshmen and other athletes.
Most of the men who are ineligible fail during their freshman year. The reason is they do not realize the seriousness of their position, till too late. These men will be admonished not to let up on their work, and in case they need it, the members of the club will tutor them.

150 TOLD "DAD"
HERMAN FARWELL
GEO. O. FOSTER TALKED ON HERMAN'S WORK HERE
Program of Musical Numbers, Comic Opera, Readings And Speeches Was Given.
The farewell reception given last night at Myers hall by the Y. M. C. A. for "Dad" and Mrs Herman was well attended by one hundred and fifty men and women students.
After an informal social hour an entertaining program of several talks and a number of musical selections and readings was given. Roy Fraser gave a medley of comic opera; Registrar Foster told of the work that Herman has done in the University and said that "Dad" is leaving us in the physical sense only. Miss Gertrude Mossler gave two readings. John Musselman sang several catchy songs, accompanied on the piano by Abe Gold man.
Roy Stockwell, the new Y. M. C. A. secretary, spoke on Herman's life of service. Mrs. Herman was called on to speak and she said that although she had formerly been most interested in the women's association she would always be concerned with the work to be done by the men of the Y. M. C. A.
"Dad" finished the program with a short talk telling what he has gained personally from a few intimate friends in the University and how the direction of his life has been altered by his connection with the men of the association.
Refreshments of chocolate and wafers were served after the program. The rest of the evening was spent in singing University songs.
The entertainment was one of those which Charles Younggreen has planned for the Y. M. C. A to give throughout the winter The next party will be shortly after the Christmas holidays.

FOREST CONSERVATION

Dr. Swain, who sees a close relationship between the conservation of forests and floods, erosion of hilly countries, and siting problems in river navigation, insists that the scientific investigator of today go back to first principles in logic.
W—“The Pink Lady.”
T S. "Alexander's Rag Time Band."
To illustrate his point of view Dr. Swain showed the relation which inductive and deductive reasoning holds to the subject of investigating forests conservation.
W—"The Spring Maid."
"Deductive reasoning alone will give accurate results in the field of forest conservation," declared Dr. Swain. "Should one factor, upon which the results of induction depend, be erroneous any generalization regarding forestry and stream flow, from the inductive standpoint, will be imperfect. Only by starting with given phenomena and explaining them by pure induction, can the true relation be found."

STUDENT'S EYE BURNED BY ACID
SPLASHED SULPHURIC ACID INTO FACE.
Roy Rankin, Senior, Was Clean ing Apparatus—Dr. McAlester Treated The Burn.
Roy Rankin, a senior in the College, severely burned the pupil of his left eye with sulphuric acid while working in the chemical laboratory last Thursday evening. He was cleaning a piece of apparatus with the acid and potassium bichromate when the solution splashed up into his face and entered his eye. He quickly washed it away with cold water but not soon enough to keep it from injuring the sight.
Dr. H. L. Chambers treated the eye but fearing that it might prove dangerous, he sent Rankin to Dr. A. W. McAlerest, the eye specialist at the University Medical School at Rosedale, Friday morning.
Rankin returned to Lawrence last night and reports that the burn is not nearly so deep as it was first thought. The injury is across the pupil of the eye but he will not lose the sight of it unless fresh complications set in. Doctor McAlester says that it is possible that the vision of this eye may be clouded but that he hopes even to remedy this defect.
Rankin will make daily trips to Rosedale until all danger is past.
PRITCHETT WILL AID
EDUCATION COMMISSION
At Invitation of Gov. Stubbs Will Help Kansas Board Revise School Curricula.
When Dr. Henry S. Pritchett of New York heard what questions are coming up at the meeting of the Commission of Higher Education in Kansas here Tuesday, he decided to be at that meeting.
In any action that it may take on the important matters coming before it, the commission will have, therefore, the counsel of the greatest educational expert in America.
Dr. Pritchett, the head of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of teaching, makes is his business to be on the spot when matters of great importance to education are pending.
William Allen White had some correspondence with him in the summer regarding the report that is to be made to the commission at this meeting by the committee on efficiency, and Dr. Pritchett became greatly interested in the questions that the committee has been considering during the past nine months. Governor Stubbs invited him to attend the meeting of the commission and he accepted today.

The performer of the evening showed the most finished technic of any of the artists who have appeared here this fall.
The program was selected from compositions by Chopin, Liszt Beethoven and Brahams. Liberal applause ran through the program but only the last number was responded to with an encore
The next number of the recital course comes on Tuesday December 19, at which time Alexander Heinemann, the German, one of the two or three world's greatest singers outside of grand opera, will appear.

There are local Dames clubs at Yale, Harvard, Illinois, Chicago, and a number of other schools and it is a distinct honor that the University Dames have been asked to join the national association.
MASS MEETING TO START UNION FUND
Students Will Circulate Promis sory Notes During Holidays —Tentative Plans Drawn
After chapel on December 15, a mass meeting of the students will be held to make arrangements for starting a fund for a Students Union Building.
A plan by which the campaign for funds may be started during the Christmas holidays has been evolved by the Men's Student Council. A number of promissory notes, made payable to E. E. Brown, secretary and purchasing agent of the University will be given the students to be circulated among the friends of the University at the different cities over the state. A promissory note must also be signed by the student collector promising the Council that the student will try his best to collect a certain specified amount before the end of the holidays.
Tentative plans for the building are being made by Arch MacKinnon, president of the Council, and Prof. H. A. Rice. Blue print copies of the plans will be given to each student so that he may better explain the proposed building. A site back of the Administration Building, on a knoll overlooking the golf links, has been selected as a suitable place to build, if the necessary funds can be obtained.
The building which the Council plans to erect will be two stories high above the basement and will cost about $100,000. It will contain different amusements for the students, general assembly halls, quarters for visiting athletic teams and a lunch counter.
If other arrangements for a University dining hall are not made, the Union building will contain one in the basement. The Council is now investigating book stores and plan to ask the Regents for permission to place a co-operative store in the proposed building if the plan is found to be practical.

A DAILY KANSAN IS WHAT WENEED
UNIVERSITY DEANS SHOW
FAVORABLE ATTITUDE
Engineers Pass a Resolution Favoring The Movement— Pledge Their Support.
If the sentiment expressed by several members of the faculty is an indication of the attitude of the rest of that body, the movement for a Daily Kansan will be successfully concluded. Below will be found a few words from University deans and a resolution passed by the students of the School of Engineering:
"I am heartily in favor of making the Kansan a daily as I think that it would be a good thing for the University. The only question in my mind is in regard to the support of the paper on the part of the students."—Dean J. W. Green.
"That the University needs a daily is apparent when we make comparisons with other colleges in our class. I endorse the movement and hope it can be carried to a successful conclusion."—Dean Dean Templin.
"The University of Kansas should have a daily newspaper for the interests of the student body in particular and the University in general. There is no question about its desireability; there should be no question about its financial support. The University is so large now that the Kansan is about the only way for a professor or a student to know what is going on. It has become indispensable to people who would be well informed. They need daily information."—Prof. Frank Blackmar.
At a meeting of the Engineers in chapel Thursday morning a committee was appointed to draw up a set of resolutions in favor of a Daily Kansan. The Engineering School as a whole is very much in favor of the plan that is now being pushed so strongly and have pledged themselves to do all in their power to make it a success.
The committee drew up the following resolution :
"Be it resolved, that we, the School of Engineering, are in hearty accord with the movement to make the Kansan a daily, and will lend our enthusiastic support to further this project, which will place the University of Kansas in its deserved, relative standing with other Universities of its size and class.

KEYNOTE OF EDUCATION
COMMISSION'S REPORT
Recommends New Department For University—Suggests Plan For Common Budget For State Schools.
The Kansas Commission on Higher Education met in Topeka today and submitted a report to Governor Stubbs in which efficiency as regards our state institutions was the chief subject of discussion. The committee on efficiency, Regents W. A. White of the University, A. L. Sponsor of the State Agricultural College and Sheffield Ingalls of the State Normal was appointed nine months ago and has been at work on its report since that time.
By statistics and charts it showed the details in the management of the schools; the service rendered to the state by every employee from the executive head to the janitors. The number of students and the cost for each student furnished the basis for comparison of the three institutions with each other and with similar schools in other states. On the basis of these facts the committee offered recommendations of far-reaching effect.
"In every branch of higher learning Kansas pays less than the average amount paid in American states of our class for education in any type of school whether Normal, Agricultura College, or University," says the report, "but the worth of these schools as what may be called institutions of service may be greatly increased."
Extension centers in the large cities of the state, under the common management of the three in stitutions are recommended These centers are to have a manager in each who shall organize classes, distribute instruction papers, and arrange for lectures by professors in the schools.
The need of a high grade de partment of architecture is urged by the committee. An exper in that line, who should do the work of the state architect's office, could supervise branches of the department at the University and the Agricultural College. Free plans and specifica tions would be furnished for all county, municipal, and schoo work, and for bridges, roads and parks.
To give courses in practical fish culture; teach the farmer boys and girls the art of pond making, and fish feeding to give such a course to school teachers so that every school house could have its fish pond in operation—these are some of the uses that the committee sees for the new fish hatchery which the University is building at Pratt.
A closer correlation between the institutions of learning and the penal and eleemosynary institutions should be brought about, says the committee. For instance, "the Medical school should have free access to all penal and eleemosynary institutions in the State for purposes of examination and cure of the inmates." Morally defectives in the reform schools might be helped by physical and psychological treatment.
The School of Medicine of the University is urged to establish a school of Hygiene Clinic for the benefit of defective, retarded, and exceptional children. Consultations would be held with parents and teachers as to the best methods of training, and such cases as could be benefited by surgical or medical treatment would be referred to the State Hospital.
The work now being done in industrial chemistry in the Umi
versity should be enlarged into a school of specific industries the head of this school to correlate its work with agricultura industrial fellowships to be established at the Agricultural College.
The proposed mining school at Weir City will, if the recommendation of the committee be followed, be made a vocational trade school doing work of secondary nature only.
Among the other recommendations of the committee are the following: That there be developed at the University a department and laboratory of public health; that the courses in the University now being given along the line of business administration be organized into a school of business administration; that the University establish in the near future a library, school in connection with the library and its administration that all of the institutions of higher education be put upon a standard as to equipment and salaries, per capita cost of education per year, and the number of teachers, fairly commensurate with that of other standard American Universities.
To prevent duplication in the three schools and to do away with jealousy in the matter of securing appropriations the committee recommends that the legislature authorize a plan under which a committee of nine regents, three from each board be appointed to have control of a common budget of higher education, and to look after co-ordination of work and the installation of a common business system. The internal affairs of each individual school would continue under separate boards of six regents each.
TESTING CAR HERE
Santa Fe's Dynamometer Car to Be Exhibited to Mechanicals Thursday.
255 PLEDGES IN A DAY AND A HALF
In order to allow the mechanical engineers who are to meet here on Thursday and others interested in engineering, to seccently built by the Santa Fe, H. the new dynamometer car reB. McFarland, engineer of tests for that railroad, has agreed to bring the car to Lawrence for one day.
The dynamometer car is practically a new thing in engineering circles and is used to measure the tractive force required to draw a train. The car is placed after the engine and by marking on a drum indicates the force that is expended in drawing the remaining cars. It is extremely useful in mountainous countries and in places where there are numerous curves in the track.
There are only a few cars in existence at the present time but almost all of the railroads are beginning to recognize the econom. of having one of these cars and more are being built. The International Correspondence School, the University of Illinois and the Santa Fe own the only cars now on the road.
The car that will be here Thursday is fifty feet long and has a rigid underframe that allows it to withstand a blow of 900,000 pounds, with a fibre stress of only 17,000 pounds per square inch in the metal. It is divided into two sections one for living purposes and the other for making records. There are four Pullman sections.
FIRST TWO DAYS' WORK
GAINS HALF NUMBER
"The visit of this car is of interest to people besides those interested in engineering," said Prof. P. F.- Walker of the department of engineering, "for i is the instrument by which all of the railroads will conduct their investigations of the best possible efficiency on their lines. It is a recent departure and a visit to the car Thursday will be of general benefit."
Reports of Managers of Departments Have Not Yet Been Received.
Two hundred and fifty five pledges to subscribe for the Daily Kansan had been handed in at the Kansan office at 2.30 this afternoon.
"Brick" Gephart was the first man to sign one of the pledge tickets after the campaign for a Daily Kansan was started. He will take the first wet "sheet" from the new press at 3 o'clock January 9 and present it to Chancellor Frank Strong.
As soon as the complete reports of the men and women who are working among the students of the various departments are received, it is expected that the list of pledges will be swelled to near the five hundred mark.
The first paid up subscription was given by Mat Guilfoyle a short time after Gephart signed the pledge.
Sunday morning the Pan-Hellenic passed a motion to the effect that each member of every fraternity subscribe individually for the Daily. By noon today each member of the Pan-Hellenic had ratified the motion of their Council. The Pi Upsilon fraternity and the Sasnaks resolved that each of their members should take the Daily.
take the Pi Phi sorority pledged themselves to seventeen additional copies; the Thetas and Kappas increased their subscription by two numbers apiece.
The following universities and colleges in the United States have a daily paper published by the students: Harvard, Cornell, Dartmouth, Syracuse, Columbia, Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania Indiana, Illinois, Purdue, Oberlin, Iowa State, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Chicago, Missouri, Nebraska, Stanford, California and Washington.
There may be others, but exchanges from these universities have reached the Kansan office from time to time.
Earl Fisher, managing editor of the Kansan last year and now head reporter on the Topeka Capital, writes his sentiment as follows:
(Continued on page 4).
"Kansas would not be considered out of place in that company," said a student in the Kansas office this morning.
"No one will draw a greater breath of satisfaction than I when the Kansan goes over to a daily. It is the one big thing Joe Murray and I hoped for during our affiliation with the sheet. Would that the realization of the dream could have come while we were in a position to enjoy it most. Go to it; a daily will make men of you."
In spite of the current assertion that "the clothes do not make the man," it every day comes home to us that correctly cut, better clothing are a valuable asset to any man with hopes and aspirations.
What we seem to others to be (as well as what we truly are) is vastly important to the measure of our success. The first impression we make upon a stranger is very often lasting; always it remains with him until differ-
K. U.'s old suit is now going upon its 8th year of usage. (The Kansan is eight years old I am given to understand); her fellow universities have cast aside their old style costumes and have adopted those which are right up to the minute.
I am in favor of the change —decidedly so.
MUST COLLECT $60
Will Make House to House Canvas This Week.
There is, still a, shortage, of sixty dollars in the blanket fund,
although about twenty dollars was paid at the check stand Friday morning.
It is the plan of "Brick" Gephart and Donald McKay, officers of the College, to divide up the names of those who signed the subscription lists and have not yet paid among five or six men. This week these men will call on all those who have not paid their subscriptions. Gephart and McKay think that in this way all the shortage will be collected.
BANQUET CLASSMEN
Victors in Inter-class Football Seriess Honored by Athletic Assn.—Sixty Men Out.
The schedule for the series of inter-class football games will be made out soon by Coach Sherwin and the entire schedule will be playee before the Christmas holidays. For the past week, the men of the sophomore, junior and senior classes have been practicing on McCook field under the tutorship of Coach Sherwin, Heil, Ammons, and Baird.
Heil coaches the juniors, Ammons teaches the seniors and Baird the sophomores. When the freshman squad comes out. J. Bond will take charge of their practice and will put them in shape for the series of games.
Coach Sherwin said yesterday afternoon that he would make out the schedule as soon as the tyros appeared on the field. "If they are not out in suits soon we will conduct the games without them," said the coach. "The reward for the winners of the series will be given a banquet at the Eldridge house by the Athletic Association."
"Practice will be held at four o'clock every afternoon and at ten o'clock Saturday morning. Last Saturday we did not hold practice on account of the rain but as a rule about sixty men have reported for the workout.
"We are not giving the classmen the detailed instruction that we gave the varsity men at the year, but they are being instructed in falling on the ball and in punting and catching."
MARSHALL WILL BANQUET
County Students Organized Last Night and Elected Officers
The Marshall county students of the University organized their county club last Friday night at a meeting at the home of Miss Mary Schuchart, 1339 Vermont street. The club decided to give a banquet at Frankfort, Kansas on Friday, December 29. It is planned to invite all K. U., alumni of the county as well as all seniors of the county high school to the affair. A University professor will be the speaker of the occasion.
Twenty-five students attended the meeting last night and all were enthusiastic over the new organization. The officers elected were: Gean Hall, Waterville president; Mort Loury, Frankfort, vice-president; Earl Rush Axtell, treasurer; Effie Beaver, Home City, secretary.
Graduates Had Informal Party
The regular every-third-week meeting of the Graduate club of the University was turned into an informal party at Westminster house last Friday evening. Several musical numbers were given by Mr. Bruno Kiesewetter. Those on the receiving line were Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Hungerford, Miss Grace Light, Mr. G. B Blair, and Mrs. P. C. Hiebert.
The club now has a membership of seventy five and is more alive this year than for sometime past
ARE YOU GOING TO THE BIG SMOKER?
TOMORROW NIGHT IN FRA-
TERNAL AID HALL.
"The Hand of Fate," "Hel-Mit Black Serenaders", a "Rube" Skit Will be Present.
Tomorrow evening will see the greatest gathering of actors and actorines that has ever been assembled on Fraternal Aid stage All the special scenery for the various productions has arrived and will be shown for the first time tomorrok.
The Sachem committe wrote the play last Saturday evening and the cast is practicing every so often. The play is entitled "The Hand of Fate, or Genevieve, the Queen of the Harem." There are three characters and a property man. Jack Dalton, the Double Dyed Dynamiter of Domestic Domiciles and Doer of Dastardly Deeds, desires the papers that beautiful Genevieve the Queen of the Harem has in her possession and when she refuses to give them up she is saved from a horrible death by the timely interference of Percy Jones, plebian but honest beneath whose ragged vest beats a heart of gold and an Ingersoll watch. The villain is killed and Genevieve and Percy live happily ever afterward.
In regard to this show Chancellor Strong says, "Probably never again will there be such a production at the University."
The Friars promise that they will put on ten minutes of comedy. They will be the original Rubes and will sing several catchy football songs. They refuse to disclose the plot of the skit and promise some surprise when they appear before the footlights.
The committee in charge of the "eats" says that it has made provision for at least four hundred people and the committee on arrangements has prepared for that many people. The demand for tickets was so great that it was decided to increase the number originally set as the limit.
The Black Helmets will pre sent "Hel-Mit Black Serenaders," an original musical comedy which involves the serenading of a colored sorority house. It is not known what they will put on as they want to keep the whole thing dark.
The first whistle will blow tomorrow night at eight o'clock and time will not be called until the last vestige of sandwich has been devoured and the last drop of punch has been quaffed.
Will Demonstrate Machine
A demonstration with an Aeme Automatic Screw Machine, under the direction of Mr. M. E. Barden, will be given in Fowlen Shops five days commencing Wednesday afternoon, by the National-Aeme Manufacturing company.
This demonstration which is made in the interest of new labor saving machinery is one of the a series of tests which the National-Ame people have been giving at other state universities and colleges throughout the country this fall. The machine, which has been in operation at Nebraska for the past week, has been delayed, so that the tests will not start until Wednesday instead of Tuesday, as announced.
Presbyterian C. E. Party
The Christian Endeavor Society of the Presbyterian church will give the "Winter Match," social and classical, in the church parlors this coming Friday evening, December fifteenth. All Presbyterian students are urged to come and share in the good time.

DO YOU WANT A DAILY?
It has been suggested by one communicant to the Kansan that the average student has no time to read a daily such as would be published if the plans of the Kansan are carried out, and that there is not sufficient "hill" news to justify the increase in the number of issues.
Evidently a false impression has been gained. When the announcement was made that if we would have a daily we would secure telegraph service, it was not intended that the Kansan should attempt to compete with those large dailies who chripicle the happenings of the world at large. It is not intended that a daily Kansan should carry a telegraphic account of the war in China or the latest revolution in time that he cannot find some Jamaica.
By its prospective telegraph service the Kansan hopes to keep in close touch with all the large universities of the country and by a system of exchange it is hoped to carry daily briefs of what our sister institutions are doing. It is in this particular that the daily Kansan will differ from the Daily Missouri. This latter publication fills the office of both student and city paper and it has grown to be much more of the latter than of the former. The daily Kansan will never do this.
As to the assertion that there is not enough news to fill a daily paper, a visit to the "back room" of the Kansan office will convince the most skeptical. Last Saturday there were almost three columns of news set up that were forced out of the paper for lack of space. And this is not an unusual occurrence.
Do you think the Kansan can run on good wishes and lots of news? Every issue of the Kansan means an actual outlay of cash and the "ads" have to come in order to make the paper pay for itself.
Some students say to cut out some of the "ads" and print the news that is left over. How long do you think the Kansan could exist if it were not for its "ads"?
Surely there is no student on the "hill" who is so pressed for time that he cannot find a motime in which to scan a daily paper that will tell him of all the "doings" of the University.
Think over this daily Kansan proposition. If you have any suggestion, write us.

Have YOU PERFORMED YOUR PART?
REVIVAL OF BASEBALL.
Those who feared that baseball as a college sport in the Missouri Valley was dead, will probably find some relief in the action of the conference of Missouri Valley colleges which met here last Saturday. For several years the conference has been standing up so straight on the baseball proposition that it has been in danger of falling over backward. In an effort to eliminate entirely any trace of professionalism the conference has been so strict in its ruling that it almost killed the game as a college sport. Nebraska, Washington and Drake had declared that it was impossible for them to put a team in the field that would comply with the conference rulings.
But under the proposed rules men who have had real experience in the national game will be allowed to represent their university. Summer baseball to some extent will probably be allowed and the fact that a man has received some monetary consideration for his services will not bar him from participating in the games with other colleges. The general idea of the conference members was to exercise more leniency regarding the game.
Probably the conference recognized that unless some steps were taken this year there would be no baseball. Their action will tend to make the game flourish and every college in the valley will put out strong teams this year.

Read Extracts From Mrs. Robinson's Diary And Told of Her Work for Kansas.
Prof. Frank W. Backmar conducted the memorial service held in chapel Friday morning for effectress of the University of Mrs. Sarah T. D. Robinson, ben-Kansas.
It was made known for the first time that the $20,000 fund which Mrs. Robinson left for the erection of a town hall in her birthplace was originally to be used for the purpose of a girl's dormitory at this University. There was a paragraph in Mrs. Robinson's original will that the money, which was inherited from her mother, be left for a woman's building on the campus. Later she decided that her native town should be the beneficiary of this fund, as she was the last member of the family and it would be only through the dedication of the town hall that the Robinson name could be perpetuated.
Prof. Blackmar read extracts from the diary of Mrs. Robinson kept during the pioneer days in the state of Kansas. "If you want to catch the spirit of Kansas during the dark days of war times, read the book written by Sara T. D. Robinson in 1856," Professor Blackmar said. "It made the strongest appeal to the east for aid for Kansas which has ever been written."
Mrs. Noble Prentiss, who was to be one of the speakers, was unable to reach Lawrence yesterday morning.
Prof. A. W. Trettien, also o' the School of Education, will take his class in Physical and Mental Measurements to Topeka this week to apply these tests to the boys in the Boys' Industrial School.
GATHER SCHOOL DATA
Prof H. W. Josselyn of the School of Education will make several trips to various cities in the state before the holidays to investigate the different school systems. He will co-operate with the teachers and administrative officers in gathering reliable data concerning actual school conditions.
Professor Josselyn Will Visit State Schools Before Holidays

REINSTATEMENT IS THEIR POLICY
CONFERENCE SCHOOLS TO PLAY BASEBALL.
Will Boost Tennis—Washburn And K. S. A. C. Not Admitted to Membership.
Baseball will be played by every school in the Missouri Valley Conference and all efforts are to be made to make it one of the first sports in the valley. The faculty representatives of each of the six conference schools in their meeting at the University Saturday made certain changes in the baseball eligibility rules which will make it possible for all of the schools to turn out good teams.
Nebraska, Drake and Washington had not planned to have teams, but after the matter was discussed for the greater part of the meeting, the men from these schools were favorable to the game. Under the baseball plan
adopted at the conference a committee consisting of Prof. F. H. Ewerhardt, Washington, John Griffiths, Drake and Prof. S. W. Beyer, Ames, was appointed to make changes in the eligibility rules which will insure teams at each university. Professionalism will not be allowed to creep into the college game, and a system of reinstatement for the men who have played for salaries will be adopted.
In regard to Missouri Valley basketball the conference approved all of the action taken by the coaches and managers at Kansas City last week. A further resolution which had been drawn up by Coach W. O. Hamilton that the coaches and officials make every effort to eliminate holding and other forms of contact between the persons of the players and endeavor to make the game more open than heretofore. In taking this step the Western men have taken the lead of the East in improving basketball according to Coach Hamilton and Dr. Naismith.
from Washburn and the State Agricultural College but neither were accepted. Action was taken that no football game shall be played in the conference after the Saturday immediately preceding Thanksgiving. This is the day on which the season closes for all of the big teams in the country.
The representatives present at the meeting were: Prof. W. G. Manly, Missouri, Prof. C. A. Waldo, Washington, Prof. F. H. Everhardt, Washington, Dr. R. G. Clapp, Nebraska, Prof. S. W. Byer, Ames, John Griffiths Drake, and Dr. C. E. McClung, Kansas. McClung is the new president of the conference. The next meeting of the conference will be in Des Moines at the time of the track meet.

ent traits of our character are brought to his notice to contradict it.
So if an article of our individual apparel is casting wrong reflections upon ourselves, the ill-effects of which must be overcome by subsequent proof that we are really of greater worth than the reflection implies, it becomes our duty to discard that incongruous article—and to do it as soon as we can consistently do so—for more pleasing raiment.
The undesireable advertisement, which the fact that we are the only school of our rank in the country not issuing a student daily, must give prospective students, those at home who are interested in present scholars, and the world at large, should I think, be deemed sufficient to demand that the exchange be made. —G.W. Von Schultz.
Personal pride commands us to replace our old fashioned periodical with one equal if not better than those of our sister universities.
"Frankly, I am opposed to the plan, unless a very material change should be made in the Kansan. I believe that at present the students as a rule depend on the Kansan only for University news, and read the Star Capital, or local papers for outside informaiont.
"The student body should not be required to read five papers a week to keep posted as to the University news, and unless the scope of the Kansan should be so extended as to render the reading of another paper unnecessary, the proposed plan would be no betterment. Certainly I find myself well satisfied with the present system.
"But on the other hand, it might be an improvement if the Kansan could combine the local and the really important outside news, and in that way fully meet the newspaper requirements of the average student.
idea, and the right subject upon which to work. Do not let the work lag! Bring the realization of the value and need of a daily paper to the students and faculty and success is assured. Let us all get behind and push, but if you can't push, then get in front and pull! And let me in the harness. —Joy Kent.
"Kansas" is a great University. We are justly proud of our educational qualifications, our athletic ability and our social attainment. This self conscious pride is largely due to the fact that the University of Kansas is known in all sections of the country as one of the best state institutions in our nation.
"But it is with no little hesitancy that we are loathe to speak of our student publication the University Kansan.
"There are numerous advantages in having the Kansan published as a student daily. Under the present system of publication there seems to be a lack of general interest on the part of the student body. This doubtless is largely due to the fact that the present Kansan does not, occupy the important position in the minds of the student body that it should. It comes to us like an unconnected story. We fail to follow the connecting link that adds the necessary interest.
"We want a daily student publication and heartily endorse your plan for extension. Like wise you may consider me one of the "500" boosters for a bigger and beter Kansan daily."—Ha' M. Black.

SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR DAILY RISE 100
LAWRENCE, KANSAS THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1911
HOUSE TO HOUSE CANVASS
STARTS TOMORROW
Circulation Manager of Kansar Will Get "Yes" or "No" From Every Student.
Commencing tomorrow evening the circulation manager of the Kansan and a corps of assistants will make a house to house canvass of the students for their subscriptions for the Daily Kansan. At present, the number of voluntary pledges stands at 362 Those who have been working among the students in the departments have not given compelt reports.
Before the house to house can vass of the students cease the circulation manager will either have the signed pledge of ever, student in school or a flat refusal
The Phi Alpha Delta law fraternity will consider tonight whether or not every member shall subscribe for the daily. In the School of Engineering, Law and Medicine, few men have not signed the pledge who were not already subscribers for the paper. The reports from the College show that the men are boosting the Daily Kansan more than the women student body, although individuals and some organizations among the women are enthusiastic in the campaign. Out of every ten subscriptions that have been received nine have been from men.
Those who already have paid their subscriptions for the paper for the year, will receive the Daily without any additional charge. However, unpaid subscriptions which were due last September will be advanced from $1.50 to $1.75 after December 15

Dean Templin announced that all students who go to the advisor without a clear idea of their course mapped out, will be summarily referred to the chart to think the matter over themselves. "We must put a stop to the action of some students in monopolizing all the time of the advisors They are busy men and must work fast.

CULTURE AND EFFICIENCY
Prof. A. G. Mitchell Spoke in Chapel Tuesday.
Prof. A. G. Mitchell of the department of Philosophy spoke in chapel Tuesday morning on "Culture and Efficiency." He discussed the often expressed "contempt for culture" in America, which is only true when people consider culture synonomous with fastidious laziness.
MOSSE TO COACH
"This definition of culture is far from correct," said Mr. Mitchell, "true culture combines knowledge of material matters with spiritual training."
Cancellor Strong, at Smoker Said he Would Help Sherwin
Arthur St. Leger Mosse undoubtedly will be assistant football coach next year. Chancellor Strong surprised the students at the football smoker last night by intimating that the former assist ant coach would again be on the regular staff next year.
"We have always had good coaching at the University," Chancellor Strong said last night. "This year however there was a great handicap in the work caused by the lack of an assistant. Next fall I hope to see on the coaching staff the man who neglected his business to help whip the team into shape to meet Oklahoma, Nebraska and Missouri. I will use all the influence I have with the Board of Regents to secure this service on the regular coaching staff."
Chancellor Strong referred to Mosse, who spent the greater part of the three weeks preceding these big games working with Coach Sherwin. He received nothing for his work.
The students showed their apreciation of his interest and work for the University last night by giving a "What's the matter with Mosse?" Mosse's efficient work with Coach Kennedy produced many winning teams at the University, one of which was the ever-victorious team of 1908. Mosse is known as one of the greatest strategists in western football circles. He is a former Kansas football star.
GLEE CLUB TO THE COAST
University Council Gave Permis sion For Trip in February.
The University Council composed of Chancellor Strong and the heads of the various departments in the University met yesterday. It voted to allow the Glee Club to take a trip to the Pacific Coast during February
Pacific Colts during February The club will start either the third or fourth of February and will take in the following itinerary: Newton, Dodge City, La Junta, Las Vegas, Albuquerque Winslow, Seligman, Needle, Barstow, Richmond and Los Angeles. On the return trip the Grand Canyon will probably be visited. The club will be gone almost three weeks.
The annual Christmas vesper service of the University will be held in the chapel at 4:30 Sunday afternoon. There will be a program of special Christmas music and a brief address.
Those who will make the trip are: Prof. C. E. Hubach, director Melvin Kates, manager, John Musselman, Lawrence Smith, H. M. Jenkins, Finley Graham, Victor Larson, Clarence Sowers, E. G. Wickwire, Robert Campbell, A. Phillips, Edmund Rhodes Hal A. Harlan and Hal Black.
Christmas Vespers.
A plan was also drawn up by the council to have weekly reports upon classwork. Instructors will report to the office the progress made by the students at the end of each week. This system will go into effect immediately.
450 MEN ATTEND FOOTBALL SMOKER
EVERYONE HAD A GOOD TIME
Stunts Were Clever And Were Well Received—Chancellor And Uncle Jimmy Spoke
Four hundred and fifty men of the University, imbued with the greatest spirit that has ever been shown at this school, assembled in Fraernal Aid hall last evening for the Football Smoker and showed their appreciation of the football men and their coach. The program included a short introductory speech by Arch MacKinnon and a speech by Uncle Jimmy Green followed by the stunts by the class societies and the Pan-Hellenic.
"The Hand of Fate or Genevieve, the Beautiful Queen of the Harem," was presented by the Sachems and came up to all press notices. "Spee" Brummage as the villain, Edmund Rhodes as the hero and Ralph Spotts as Genevieve all escaped without serious injury from the audience.
Chancellor Strong, Coach Sherwin, and Mosse were called upon for speeches and all responded. Following these speeches Lewis Smith, Utah's White Hope and Oscar Dingman, The Viaduct Rat, staged two rounds of fast boxing.
Sandy Hamilton, Henry Laffer,
John Sterling and Milton Minor
represented the Friars in some
clever "Rube" quartet work.
Their songs dealt with the recent
sojourn of the football teams in
Moberly, Mo. Following this a
"free lunch" and eider was
served downstairs.
W. W. Fuller and John Musselman represented the Pan-Hellenic. They sang a number of popular songs. Following them was Manager Hamilton. He was to have presented the "K's" to the men but on account of the failure of the Athletic Board to award them, was unable to report.
The Black Helmets gave a farce entitled "Hell-Mit Black Serenaders." "Red" Brown as Eliza, "Rus" Clark as Pearl and "Abe" Hosier as Mandy took the part of three colored sorority sisters of the Pi Theta Kappa Omega. A chorus of Black Song birds serenaded them with some vocal and instrumental music.
After the Black Helmets came the Scoop Cub and within a few minutes they printed a daily Kansan that contained some spicy news. G. W. Miller as the managing editor qualified as an efficient news gatherer.
The informality of the entire evening's entertainment made every one feel at home and to the Men's Student Council a great credit is due for their undertaking the responsibility of the function.
Student Recital Tuesday.
The fifth student recital of the School of Fine Arts was given Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 in Fraser hall by the organ and voice students. One number was an organ sonata for four hands by Merkel, played by Misses Holcomb and Barkdull.
C. A. Sumner, secretary of the City Club at Kansas City, Missouri, will speak at the Y. M. C. A. next Thursday evening on "The Common Welfare." There will be special music.
One week from tonight the noted German singer, Alexander Heinemann, will give a song recital in Fraser hall. Heinemann is one of the two or three greatest baritones in the world and has been decorated by several European rulers. This will be the chief musical event of the car next to the musical festival in the spring.

Considering that the smoker was gotten up on such extremely short notice, the stunts were all good and their hearty reception showed how well they were appreciated.
The evening's entertainment demonstrated one thing and that is that a stag smoker is a much more enjoyable function at which to honor our team than is a formal banquet with all its accompaniments. The football team enjoyed the evening, the four hundred students enjoyed the evening, the coaches enjoyed the evening and the faculty members could find no fault.
The great success of a smoker such as was held last night probably establishes a custom will live for years to come.
KANSAS FRATERNTIY SORIORITY EMBLEMS IN LEATHER
Entered as second-class mail matter September 17, 1910, at the postoffice at Lawrence, Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1879.
The Football Smoker last evening was the best thing that has taken place at the University in years. There was never a finer display of spirit and never was exhibited a greater degree of cordiality and friendship among all the men of the school. The entire evening abounded in the good fellowship that really exists in this school but is too seldom shown.

WHY WAS IT?
The one disappointing feature of the smoker last evening and for which there appears to be no valid excuse, was the failure of the Athletic Board to report on those men who received the "K." For over a week the Board has known that the smoker was to be held and that the giving of the "K's" was to be the culminating feature of the evening. Just why this Board has failed to meet is not known but they added the one disappointment to an otherwise successful evening.
REPORT ON EFFICIENCY
The report of the Kansas Commission on Higher Education carries with it the greatest educational message that has been given out in this state in years Efficiency is the one great subject discussed and if the plans of the Commission are carried out the state of Kansas will have the closest cooperation among our state schools. A closer correlation of our state institutions is
shown to be in line with the general idea of efficiency.
One item that is of special importance is the broadening of the work of the extension department and the establishing of twenty additional extension centers.
Another recommendation that has an important bearing on the University calls for the establishing of a school of business administration. Harvard and Wisconsin are the only schools in the United States that support such a department and their practicability has been clearly demonstrated.
The other suggestions of the Commission will all appeal to the economy of the tax payer. In the entire report there is one main idea, and that is to give to every man who pays taxes the greatest possible return on his expenditure.
Suffragettes Meet.

A WORD TO YOU
Owing to the late date school closes this year, it will be very inconvenient and in some cases almost impossible to defer your Christmas shopping until you get home. You can do just as well here in Lawrence, and some of you a great deal better, than at home, and it is worth something to you to pick out your presents at leisure, with a wide field to choose from, and avoid the wild scramble of the last day or two.
If you haven't got the money, send home and get it now. You are going to spend just so much anyway.

THE UNIVERSITY KANSAN.
NUMBER 38
VOLUME VIII.
OUTLOOK IS GLOOMY FOR DAILY KANSAN
LAWRENCE, KANSAS SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1911
STUDENTS APATHETIC TO
PROPOSED CHANGE
Apparently Satisfied to Keep Paper in Rank of Second Rate Universities.
Unless the students at the University take a more active interest, the movement for a daily Kansan, will result in a failure. At the present time there are but a few over three hundred and seventy five subscriptions and the majority of these have been obtained only by a personal solicitation of the fraternities and societies.
It had been hoped that the daily Kansan would be assured by today but under the circumstances it is impossible to anounce it. In the last issue of the Kansan it was stated that a house to house canvass of the students would be made and apparently a number of them are waiting to be approached before they sign up.
Unless the student body signifies in some material way that it really wants a Daily . Kansan the movement will die. Unless the campaign is pushed to a successful conclusion before the Christmas holidays the project will be abandoned. The advertising contracts with the merchants will have to be signed up next week and these men cannot be approached conscientiously unless the students have done their part.

THE COMMON WELFARE
G. A. Summer Spoke at Y. M. C.
A. Thursday Evening.
C. A. Sumner, secretary of the City Club of Kansas City Mo., spoke on "The Common Welfare" at the Y. M. C. A meeting last Thursday evening.
"One of the most prominent and important questions of our day," said Mr. Sumner, "is which is more sacred, personal rights or property rights. I maintain that when the two conflict property rights must be regarded, ed as secondary in importance to personal rights, that is the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
"The public is not inclined to condemn the man who destroys life through business, as much as the man who commits murder outright. I contend that both deserve equal punishment. These are questions that must be settled in order to realize our present social ideals."
Ben Leventhal played a violin solo and responded with an encore.
DEFINITION OF CRIMES
TO BE IMPROVED
Committee on Criminal Laws And Procedure Drafts Security Measures.
The committee on Criminal Law and Procedure of the State Bar Association met at the University last Saturday to consider the criminal law of the State of Kansas. This committee was appointed three years ago. It has been devoting its work to investigating criminal law and procedure to ascertain just how far the popular criticism of criminal law and procedure is justified in the State of Kansas, and to drafting such measures as would secure the state against abuses in criminal procedure.
The possibility of improvement in definition of crime for the purpose of avoiding certain technicalities that might tend to defeat or delay trials was discussed.
SHOWED PICTURES OF
GERMAN STUDENTS' DUELS
Professor Kiesewetter Gave an Illustrated Lecture on "Life at German Universities."
The committe is composed of Judges J. C. Ruppenthal and R.C. Heizer of the District Court Attorney-General John Dawson J. S. Chinek, former prosecuting attorney of Shawnee Co., and Prof. Wm. E. Higgrins.
Prof. Bruno Kiesewetter of the University of Marburg, at present Professor of German at Kansas, gave a stereotypic lecture at the German Verein Monday afternoon, showing many views and explaining incidents of "Life at German Universities."
Pictures of the German Kneipe or drinking-bout were also thrown upon the screen, while the songs sung by the students at these festivals were sung.
The feature of the lecture was the illustrations of the student dueling which contests are generally for honor, but in some cases the lives of the duellers are at stake. Duels are very common at the German universities. A student must have won a certain number of duels before he can be pledged to a fraternity. The students are proud of the injuries received in a fight, and when the cut heals without leaving a scar it is reopened and filled with red wine, giving it a noticeable effect.
Nesbitt is Soccer Captain.
The members of the soccer football squad elected Frank W. Nesbitt captain for next year on the first ballot at a meeting yesterday afternoon in the gymnasium. Nesbitt is a middle law.

PLEDGE EFFORT TO RAISE $3,335
WILL SOLICIT FOR UNION FUND AT HOME TOWNS
Chan, Strong, Geo. O. Foster And H. A. Rice Indore Campaign at Mass Meeting.
At a mass meeting after chapel yesterday the Union Building fund campaign was successfully launched. About four hundred men attended the meeting and forty seven definitely committed themselves to work for the fund during the Christmas holidays. They were given books of promissory notes, and will try to get signers among the citizens of their home towns. The amount that the forty-seven workers will attempt to raise is $3,335 but many of the men know where they can get all their money subscribed and expect to raise even more.
Students wishing to canvas their home towns may obtain scription blanks from Arch MaeKinnon.
Took University Testing Instruments Also.
TEN MORE TO WICHITA
Chancellor Strong spoke on the plan of building the Union by subscription, and discussed the rumor that the Union Building Fund would conflict with the Woman's Dormitory Campaign The Chancellor stated that inas much as the both campaigns would cover a long period, he thought that it would not prov unfavorable to either for then to be conducted simultaneously.
Ten more Engineering students were called to Wichita last Friday to assist the twelve other Engineers who have been testing the Kansas Gas & Electric Light Co.'s plant there under the direction of Prof. C. A. Johnson, or the Electrical Engineering department.
Registrar Foster said "We have observed the principle of 'ladies first' in deferring the start of this campaign until the Woman." Dormitory fund almost is an assured thing, and now that the two propositions are being considered I think we ought to get together and make them both a success."
Prof. H. A. Rice spoke about the Ohio State University Student Union building, which he investigated last summer, and Burton Sears described the Union building at the University of Pennsylvania.
Those who went down Friday are: Hansen, Stevens, Baldwin Wright, Parker, Hartman, Magatagan, Schooloy, Steeper, and Marbel. These men, together with Professor Johnson, are under the general supervision of Mr. H. C. Heaton, engineer for Sargent & Lundy, of Chicago who are making the tests.
Investigates Sanitarium Site
In order to avoid delay, the University's set of testing instruments were hurried to the plant this week when the regular instruments, which were to have been supplied by the General Electric Company, failed to arrive.

ENROLLED 900 IN COLLEGE.
Prof. W. C. Hoad, of the department of municipal engineering, went to Saffordville this morning to help investigate a site for the new state tuberculosis sanitarium. The last legislature appropriated $50,000 for the building, and the site has been offered free of charge. Dr. Crumbine, chairman of the state Board of Health, and State Senator Milligan of Garnett, the chairman of the board in charge of the new building, accompanied Professor Hoad. Saffordville is a town of about 200 population, in Chase county, about ter
Numbered Chairs Makes Enrollment in Order of Arrival
Students who went to the gymnasium this morning to enroll in the College where they took their places in numbered chairs awaiting the opportunity to enter the enrollment room on the second floor. The first man to be enrolled in classes for next semester, arrived at the gym at 7 o'clock this morning and took his place at the head of the line. This system enables the students to be enrolled in the order of their arrival.
Accurate figures upon the number of students enrolled in the College could not be obtained until after six o'clock, but it is estimated that 900 were enrolled in classes in the College. Many of the students anticipated a long wait in the gymnasium before they would be able to receive their classes. Two young ladies quietly did embroidery work while making their way to the front of the row.
ENGINEERS MUST USE GOOD ENGLISH
Faculty Will Issue a Circular on Engineers' English for Students.
NOW A CONFERENCE
ORATORICAL CONTEST
As a result of the second meeting of Engineering technical report readers, held last Thursday night in Marvin hall, the faculty of the School of Engineering, decided Monday that every instructor in the School of Engineering, should report at the end of each semester regarding the nature of the English work done by students in the Engineering school. That is, every student will be expected to use correct English, as far as possible, not only in the regular Rhetoric course given as part of the Engineering curriculum, but also in every class recitation, and quiz paper.
To facilitate this move, an "Engineering" English circular based upon the regular circulat sent out by the English department of the University will now be adopted especially for Engineering work, independent of the regular English circular. By making the English work specific and a part of the entire four years, the School of Engineering hopes to improve the general average of the Engineering student work in theses and make all Engineering work correct in regard to English composition.
Kansas May be Represented on Missouri Valley Rostrum at Des Moines in May.
Kansas may compete with the other schools in the Missouri Valley Athletic Conference in an oratorical contest at Des Moines next May if tentative plans submitted to the different schools are approved. The contest probably will be held on the evening before the Conference track meet. Prof. G. A. Gesell, head of the department of Public Speaking received word yesterday of the proposed plans. The letter from Frank E. Brown, head of the department of Public Speaking at Drake, states that enough schools have already signified their intention of supporting the movement to insure its success, and asks if Kansas will send a repre

LAW SCRIMMAGE
A PRETTY TRIBUTE
ONE HUNDRED COUPLES AT
TENDED THE BALL
Decorations Were Simple—Distinguished Guests on the Receiving Line—Music Good
The ninth annual Law Scrimmage in honor of the football squad was given in Fraternal Aid hall last evening. One hundred couples attended the function and a number of distinguished guests were present.
On the receiving line were Dean and Mrs. Green, Professor and Mrs. W. L. Burdick, Professor and Mrs. W. E. Higgins, Professor and Mrs. H. W. Humble Professor H. C. Hill, Chancellor and Mrs. Strong, Chief Justice W. A. Johnston, Mayor Sam Bishop, Judge Mason, Judge Silas Porter and Judge Clark A. Smith of the Kansas Supreme Court, Ira Snyder president of the Senior Laws, John Hoffman president of the Middle Laws Guy W. Von Schriltz of the Junior Laws, Miss Delpha Johnson Miss Ruth Harger, and Mis Winona McCoskrie.
The decorations of the hall were not elaborate but were in extremely good taste. The “K” blankets of the football team were wung across the room with the pictures of the letter men on them. Goal posts in red and blue were placed against a back ground of green foliage and a football on a stand draped in the University colors gave the entire function a distinctive setting.
The programs were booklet done in leather with a large circle "K" on the cover. They were given out by Alex Johnson and Miss Lillian Matkins and Franz Wilson and Miss Nell Taylor.
Refreshments were served in the hall below at quartet tables. The music for the twenty-four dances was furnished by Ra-Hall's orchestra of Topeka.
JOB FOR CHEMISTS.
Civil Service Examinations Held In January.

Their Relation to Stream Pollution to be Investigated
C. C. Young, state water analyst, and C. A. Haskins, of the School of Engineering, are working on a series of experiments for the purpose of ascertaining a method of purifying the waste products from creameries. Some creameries over the state have been accustomed to allow their refuse to run into the streams where it decays and pollutes them. The state is taking every precaution possible to prevent stream pollution and these experiments will not only assist the state in its problem of sanitation but also aid the creameries in the problem of the disposal of their refuse.

THE UNION BUILDING
Feb. 15, 16, 17.—M. P. Gould of New York will give lectures on pharmacy.
The movement for a Students' Union Building started auspiciously. A large number of the men attended the mass meeting and after expressing a favorable sentiment toward the movement gave a more substantial assurance of their support by signing pledges. The work done during the holidays by these men who have pledged themselves will determine in a large measure the activity with which the future campaign is conducted.
That the University needs a building such as is being contemplated, is obvious. Such a meeting as was held at the Football Smoker last Wednesday evening demonstrated that gatherings where all may meet and mingle, are conducive to a healthy college spirit.
If the men will take the proper interest such a building is assured. The regents will do their part and if the people of the state realize the good that will be obtained by the erection of the building they will do their part.
Ohio state says that its college spirit has increased 100 per cent since its Union building has been built. If we can create a better spirit than we now have the results that will come in the future can hardly be exaggerated.
Will the students do their part?
PAY YOUR DEBTS.
There are a few students at the University who hold their obligations too slightly. A few weeks ago a subscription was started for a blanket fund and $150 was pledged by the College students. Up to date $60 of this amount are unpaid and the repeated calls of the College president have failed to make these neglected ones "come through."
These people have been asked and invited a number of times to attend to their bounden duty. The committee in charge of the funds needs the money and unless those who are in arrears pay up, they will publish a list of delinquents next week.
A little thought and attention by those who know that they owe the money will forestall an unpleasantness that will be embarrassing but fully deserved.
DOD GASTON'S CASE
Dod Gaston's column on Second Thought has this to say this morning:
We observe incidentally, that
We wonder who subpoenaed House in this football matter anyway.
after trying it for a year without, those in authority at K. C. are about to employ a football coach.
The Law Scrimimage last evening was a pretty tribute to the football team. And the precedent of making it a full dress function was probably thoroughly established and henceforth this annual affair will be one of the formal parties of the year. Last evening the majority of the men were in full dress and the distinctive character of the evening semed to demand it. Next year no doubt the Serim will be stricly formal.
PROSPERITY FOR PROFS.
But There's a Long Dry Speel Coming Next Month.
Two pay-days came near telescoping at the University this month. For some reason the November pay checks of faculty members and employees were late in coming from Topeka. The tenth of the month rolled round, the date when the penalty is added to the gas bills, and still no checks. It was Wednesday that the warrants arrived, following a visit by Edward E. Brown to Topeka to see what the matter was.
Now the powers at Topeka, as if to make up for their neglect, announce that University employees will draw their December pay on December 22, the day vacation begins. This is a custom usually followed by the state auditor. How the University people will stand the prosperity of two pay-days in two weeks is a matter of speculation.
The moral of this story is, that it's a long time between paydays—in January. The checks for that month will arrive about February 10.

MUST DIG FOR VALUABLES
"Not a one of us who wets successful got gold without work, and it is impossible to anybody to get the vainable things in life without digging."
"This is a good time to be alive," said Raymond Robbins a labor leader and social worker of Chicago in chapel yesterday, "The greatest strain of all times, both individual and social is soon to be faced, and to meet it, one must be better prepared than the last generation. For this reason education is necesary, but be sure you give back to society full value for every advantage you enjoy."
Social progress moves about as fast as the slowest class, the speaker said. In passing over a glacier all the men of his party were tied to one another. "This taught me two lessons, first that a line cannot move faster than the slowest man in it, and second that strong men will look out for the welfare of the weak when the two are hitched together.
Mr. Robbins was one of the men who made the rush to the Alaskan gold fields in 1898 and in the first part of his address he compared life's problems with his experiences in the far north. "I learned up there, that there is something on a man's inside that is bigger and more important than anything which is tacked on the outside. Of the 20,000 men who started for the fields only 1,500 arrived and although these men were all shapes and sizes they had that indefinable 'something' which made them pass stronger men on the war."

LAWRENCE, KANSAS WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1911.
MEN'S COUNCIL SUMMONED EIGHT
PROBED INFRACTIONS OF
STUDENT DISCIPLINE.
Refuse to State the Result of Their Actions—Report Sent to Chancellor.
That the Men's Student Council is determined to make the most of its recently acquired disciplinary powers is evidenced by their summoning eight alleged transgressors of student discipline before them last evening.
Ten days ago, or rather nights ago, eight jolly fellows chartered a chariot from Moak's and drove hither and thither over the town regaling students and town folks alike with their melodious carroling. Various members of the Student Council saw them while they were serenading the sorority houses and thought that they were entirely too boisterous. At the next meeting of the Council an investigation was started that resulted in the meeting last night.
What the Council recommended last night is not known as they refuse to give out anything until their actions have been sanctioned by the Chancellor. It is rumored however that in one case the student will be suspended from school for a period of three weeks. Five other offenders will be put on probation for the rest of the year. Two of those summoned were dismissed.
ONE
The report of the Council was sent to the Chancellor today and definite action probably will be taken by him before the holidays.
Proceeds Will be Turned Over to Dormitory Fund.
MISSOURIANS GIVE DANCE
The Missouri Club of the University of Kansas has taken its first step towards interesting itself in University affairs. Advance will be given in Kansas City, Mo., Thursday evening January 4, 1912 at Morton's hall. 40th and Main streets, for the benefit of the Girl's Dormitory fund.
To Talk on High Explosives
It was the purpose of this club at its organization to bring the Missouri people together and "do something" for the betterment of the University. While the non-residents have not turned out as well as was hoped for at first, still the club is gradually gaining precedent, and if this initial step is a success, bigger things are promised later. All Kansas alumni from Missouri and especially all students now in school are most cordially urged to attend the dance during the holidays. The price will be one dollar per couple. Tickets may be obtained from any of the following: Don Dousman, Russell Clark, Earl Moore and Theodore Schwartz.
The last meeting of the Civil Engineering Society until after the holidays will be held in Marvin hall Thursday night, Dec. 21, 7:30 p. m. Carl Pleasant, '10, who is now in charge of the Municipal Asphalt Plant, Kansas City, Mo., will be the speaker of the evening.
At the regular meeting of the Chemical Engineering Society which meets tomorrow evening in the Chemistry building, Dr. L V. Redman will give a lecture on "The Production and Uses of Modern High Explosives."
Civils Meet Thursday.

JUNIOR PROMENADE APRIL 12 IN GYM
ANNUAL FUNCTION FIRST
FRIDAY AFTER EASTER
Further Plans For Big Dance Have Not Been Made— Farce Not Started.
The annual Junior Promenade will be held this year on Friday evening April 12 in Robinson gymnasium. For some time there has been considerable agitation to have the annual function early in the spring before the weather gets too warm. The managers of the Prom, Bruce Hard and Elmer Whitney, believe that the middle of April will be plenty early as far as the weather is concerned and will be late enough to allow the Prom to act as one of the functions in honor of the outgoing Senior class.
Further plans for the Prom have not been made. Last year an innovation was started in the time of beginning the dance Acting at the suggestion of the Chancellor the Prom was started at six o'clock in the evening and concluded at three o'clock in the morning. The managers of the Prom this year have not decided when the Prom will be started.
The Junior Farce committee has not yet started to work on the farce but immediately after the holidays a meeting will be called and actual work on the play started.
CONFERENCE MEETS AGAIN
Basketball Officials Will be Definitely Decided.
The second winter meeting of the Missouri Valley Conference will be held at Des Moines, Iowa on January 6. Dr.C.E.Mclung and Manager W.O.Hamilton will attend the conference from Kansas.
Because of the heavy enrollment in Dr. Hyde's course of elementary Physiology, and the many requests that were received for enrollment after the class was closed, it has been decided to re-open the course in Physiology I. It is a five hour course open to all students in the University, and meets at 1:30.
The question of basketball officials for the approaching season will be definitely decided at this meeting.
Phvsiology I Re-opened
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN ON JAN.
ITS EXISTENCE DEPENDS ON STUDENT BODY.
ENGINEERS FINISH TESTS
Kansan Staff Asks Support From Alumni—Offices and Press Room in Medic Building
In its movement for a daily the University Kansan has had generous support from the student body and today it is able to announce that on January 8 the first University Daily Kansan will be printed.
When the movement was started, the statement was made that at least five hundred additional subscribers must be secured before the project would be ventured. Through the aid of a number of students in the various schools, four hundred subscribers were secured and the staff of the Kansan feel that if the student body once sees the advantages of a daily they will give the paper sufficient support that it may continue to exist.
In order that a daily may exist the Kansan asks every student who goes home for the holidays to secure at least two subscribers from University alumni. If the old graduates can be interested in a daily its success will be assured.
All of the machinery for the department of journalism has arrived and will be set up during the holidays. The daily will be published in the Medic building where the offices, press room and composing room of the paper will be located. All of the newspaper files will be placed in this building and most of the work in the department of journalism will be done there.
In order that Manager Hamilton may obtain the necessary data for suits and other equipment, all the men who wish to take part in University track work will meet Captain French and the manager at the club house on McCook field, Thursday afternoon before the football game.
Track Men Attention.
Completion of Work at Wichita
Celebrated With Banquet
Finish Enrollment
Word was given out by Dean Templin of the College that all enrollment in the College must be completed by five o'clock Thursday evening December 21. Enrollment is being conducted now in the gymnasium every afternoon from four until six o'clock.
The squad of Electrical and Mechanical engineers that went to Wichita under the direction of Professor C. A. Johnson, has completed the work in testing the new power plant there and the men returned to school last Friday. The result of their tests proved satisfactory in every way and the reception given them by the firm employing them was flattering.
At the close of the tests on Thursday, a banquet was given at one of the hotels. The entire expense of the trip was borne by the Chicago firm that constructed the power plant for the city of Wichita.
AWARDED 14 "K'S"
Ahrens Denied His Letter Be cause He Failed to Attend Classes.
The Athletic Board awarded fourteen "K's" yesterday to the men who have fought on the gridiron this year. The men who received the letter are: Weidlein, Bramwell, Delaney, Ammons, Brownlee, Heil, C, Woodbury, Baird, Davidson, Price, Schwab, Daniels, Coolidge and Davis.
An investigation of the Board proved that Henry Ahrens, regular varsity center, had failed to attend his classes and for this reason was denied his letter. It it said that he was regularly enrolled in the School of Law but had failed to report to his classes. Those who are in charge of the eligibility of University athletes say that the change in the administrative system of checking up eligibility made this possible this year. They regret the irregularity and a letter of apology will be sent to all of the schools that Kansas has played this year.
THESPIANS ARE PREPARED
Will Produce Play Shortly After Holidays.
The Thespian Dramatic Club will present its play "The Gay Mr. Thompson's" shortly after the return from the Christmas holidays. The cast have been rehearsing their parts for the last month and already have the show well in hand. The exact date of the play has not been set as it will be given in the new Bowersock Opera house and there are several conflicting dates. However the management has the farce comedy in condition to be put on at any time and will announce the exact date in the first issue of the Daily Kansan.
NAISMITH TO NEW YORK

Mr. Naismith, the originator of the game of basket ball, is an authority on the rules. The changes in the rules for the following season will be discussed.
During the holidays the library will be open to students from eight until six o'clock every day with the exception of Christmas and New Years days and Sundays.
All books that have been checked out from the shelves must be in the library before the holidays. A fine will be imposed for books that are not returned.
STATE EDITORS WILL MEET HERE
EXPECT 500 AT TWO DAY
SESSION IN APRIL.
Editor of Life May be on Program—Students Will Furnish Entertainment.
Through the efforts of Prof. Merle Thorpe of the department of Journalism, and the editors of the Lawrence papers, the annual meeting of the Kansas State Editors association will be held here. Three other cities, Arkansas City, Manhattan, and Osage City had their representatives at the meeting and attempted to draw the meeting.
It is expected that five hundred editors will attend the two days session here on April 8 and 9. Some of he best speakers in the country will be obtained to address the editors.
Efforts were made last night to secure an address by Henry Watterson. It is thought, however, that it will prove impossible to have him come to Lawrence. An attempt will also be made to secure the editor of Life magazine, J. A. Mitchell, for the program.
The University Daily Kansan will throw open its doors to the editors of the state and welcome their inspection of its printing plant. The entire proceedings of the meeting will be covered with two issues daily of the Kansan.
Already plans have been made for the entertainment of the men when they come to the University. Smokers have been planned and some original stunts will be put on for the benefit of the visitors.
HELD IMPROMPTU DANCE
Soal Shooters Could Not Play After Engineers' Party.
The "sprinkler" or the "sander" could do nothing with the basketball court last night and, as a consequence, the games between the Engineers and the second College team and the first College team against the Laws could not be played. The Engineers had danced in the gym Saturday night and the floor was slippery.
Three minutes of slipping and sliding was enough to cause Coach Hamilton fear, so he stopped the game. During the play but one goal was thrown.
To shoot a basket the players had to brace themselves, throw the ball and fall down. Football is tame to what basketball is on a dance floor.
GERMAN SONG RECITAL
Alexander Heinemann, Baritone,
Sang in Chapel Last Night.
The last number of the Fine Arts Fall Recital Course was given by Alexander Heinemann, the German baritone, and his accompanist, John Mandelbrod, in Fraser Hall last night.
A program of songs by Beethoven, Brahms, Herrmann and Schubert was given. Programs with parallel German and English words were supplied.
Mr. Heinemann is one of the world's greatest singers and last nights's recital is considered the most important musical event of the year with the exception of the Music Festival in April.

THE STUDENTS' UNION BUILDING
Tentative Plans Require $50,000 to Start Work---Influence oi Other Unions.
Many of the students have signified their intentions of soliciting for the fund for the Union Building, when they go to their homes during the holidays. It is expected by those who are at the head of the movement for the Union, that a good start will be obtained in pledging the amount necessary for actual work.
Books of the promissory notes may be obtained from Arch MacKinnon. There are three parts to these notes. One is given to the man who pledges himself for the support of the building, one for secretary E. E. Brown and the third is turned over to the Student Council Committee.
It is anticipated that three years will be necessary to collect the full amount for the completed building.
Present plans place the Union Building northeast of the finished Administration building. A broad roadway will lead from the grand entrance of the Administration building directly on and on the west a long flight of stairs, with percolas at the landings will lead to Potter lake in the valley. This arrangement will be in the center of the large horse shoe formed when the buildings of the University are completed and the campus extends around to the point of the hill north of the Engineering building.
The interior features of the buildings itself will be planned to a certain extent after those of other Unions at other Universities. The main lobby, the room where all may meet, will be flanked on either side by large reading rooms. These rooms will be fitted out with heavy furniture—mission style—plenty of lounging chairs and sofas, and with huge fire places where small parties may retire to "talk over things" to themselves. Magazines, newspapers, and books will be at hand; the cigar stand will be in the main lobby.
In the basement, will be found the dining hall, banquet rooms, and some of the billard tables and other gaming equipment. There will even be a barber shop there. Over one hundred men may be boarded at the table in the large dining hall.
On the second floor, all the societies and organizations of students will have their meeting rooms. The Student Council will have its offices there and publications will have either
their main or branch offices there.
The third floor will be given entirely over for the dancing flood. This will probably be open to any of the University organizations that wish to make use of it. It is said that at some of the other Union buildings, the dance hall has its dates planned for over a year in the future.
University Student Unions have proved successful at Harvard, Pennsylvania, Chicago, Brown, Dartmouth, and many other colleges of the east. Some of them have been erected as the result of public subscriptions. At present, the students at the University of Michigan are conducting a campaign among their alumni for one million dollars that shall be devoted to the building and furnishing of a great Students' Union to be called the Michigan Union.
Testimonials by those who have watched the influence of the Students' Union elsewhere, all go to show that the feeling of conradship, the gentility and refinement that is cultivated beneath its roof can nowhere be equalled.
This is said of the Houston Club at the University of Pennsylvania:
"The Hall and Club have been called experiments, but they are no longer so. Every day two thousand students push open the hospitable doors of the Club, and every day it obtains a stronger hold upon the student life at Pennsylvania. It is worth all that it cost, and more, and its success will probably, before many years, be duplicated in many other American universities.
K. U. CHAMPIONS IN BASEBALL IN 1870
"Not a detail has been spared that could help toward the end to be gained. There are nowhere softer rugs to tread, more tasteful pictures to admire; no deeper, more comfortable leather chairs, better billiard and pool tables, truer bowling alleys, or more inviting baths and swimming pools. And yet all is as simple as it is graceful and convenient. The great, because silent and constant, influence of the Hall is not toward the breeding of luxury, but towards the cultivation of refinement and good manners. It is the recreation place of a community of gentlemen, and no young man who spends his odd moments here for four years will fail to carry away with him something of that excellent quiet dignity which is in its very atmosphere.
OLD PIGSKINS TELL MANY VICTORIES
Secrets of Athletic History Re vealed at Gymnasium Trophy Room.
By Wayne Wingert
Most of the students know that the little room to the right
A world of interesting things can be found in the room on the first floor in the northwest corner of Robinson gymnasium. Many banners, pennants, pictures, footballs, baseballs, and other trophies which represent the work of a thousand and more athletes of the University, would furnish material for many "memory cues," were the right man to wander into that place where relics of long ago are kept.
on entering the men's side of the gymnasium is the trophy room, but few if any realize the value and significance of some of the things there. The glass case in the center of the room holds the first and last trophies that the varsity athletes have won in battle.
The silver baseball in the center of the case is the first trophy ever won by a University team. It was given for a championship in baseball in 1870. The other baseballs and those old pigskins tell the tale of many victories in the early days of athletic history here—Kansas 14, St. Marys 0; this baseball has Kansas 5, Missouri 0; and that football has Kansas 4, Missouri 0. That last score was made at St. Joseph Mo., and those shoes on the bottom shelf were worn by Sam Forter when he kicked the winning goal.
Those men in that picture are the first captains—Kinzie '90-91; Chaplain '92-'93; William

son '94; Pratt '95. The group of pictures on the wall to the left shows the Kansas football teams from '95 to 1910. "Shorty" Hamel and his team of '96 is in that picture next and there are Bert Kennedy, '97; Arthur St. Leger Mosse, captain in '98; and Avery and the team of '99.
"Hurry-Up" Yost was coach that year and the team was an ever-victorious one. The men scored 280 points to their opponents' 32. Missouri, Nebraska and Drake were the only schools to score against the Kansas machine.
In 1900 Wilcox led the team. Jenkinson in '01 and Vincent. Brummage, Hicks, Pooler, Donald, Rouse, Crowell, Pleasant. Johnson and Ammons follow in order.
Stop at this picture which is of the first team that represented Kansas on the gridiron. Everyone has seen at some time or other one of the small school-boy teams, the kind that play in the vacant lots fourteen or fifteen men on a side, depending upon the number of men who come out to "choose up sides." All wear suits neatly "squared" by the hands of mothers well up in the art of quilting. Across the breast appears the mystic
numerals or letters of their order.
Just such a picture is that of Kansas' first football team. No stripped jerseys, no shoulder pads, no helmets, none of the modern convenient protectors of the present day players. Just clad in plain football suits, which are, as a rule, not long enough to reach below the players' knees, and a jacket laced in front with the K. and the U. on either breast.
Next to the pictures come the banners won. The large yellow one was won by the championship football team in the original Western Association which was composed of Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Iowa. This was in 1892 and '93. Three blue pennants were won in 1891 for championship in football, baseball and tennis in a triangular league composed of teams from Washburn, Baker and Kansas.
Prof. W. L. Burdick has recently been appointed by the American Bar Association as a member of the Executive Council for the state of Kansas.
The loving cups on top of the trophy case were won by the track teams, baseball teams and basketball teams.

THE UNIVERSITY KANSAN.

KANSAS HAS HAD A PAPER SINCE 1874
SEVEN PAPERS HAVE BEEN ON CAMPUS SINCE
First Edition of Semi-Weekly Promised an Eight Page Paper.
(By Charles Benton)
Since the year 1874, the students of the University of Kansas have had an official paper controlled by the student body. The first paper published by undergraduates was the "Observer of Nature." This was the organ of the Natural History Society, and was edited by William Osburn. 77.
The next year a new paper called the Kansas Collegiate, an enlargement of the "Observer of Nature," appeared. Both papers were issued to the same subscribers under the same management. The Observer limited itself to scientific articles, and the Collegiate devoted itself to literary articles and news. Charles S. Gleed, edited the Collegiate and William Osburn the Observer.
After the spring of 1876, the Observer ceased to appear. The Collegiate continued to hold the field until 1878. In that year, two rivals appeared, the University Courier and the University Pastime. The Collegiate which was under the management of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity excluded other fraternities from having a voice in the paper. Then the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity organized the Courier. The Pastime was a private venture inclined to sensational news, and was published fortnightly. It lived until April 16th, 1879.
The Courier, on account of lack of support was withdrawn in 1879. The Collegiate took possession of the Courier and became the Kansas Review.
For two years the Review held forth in full sway without a rival. But in the fall of 1882, the Courier was revived, again as a revolt against the exclusiveness of the management of the Review, and continued to appear every night until commencement 1884, when dissention in its ranks disbanded the paper.
In the fall of 1884, it was revived and ran as a weekly. At first the Review opposed the Courier with a weekly called the News, but the Courier proved the stronger and the Review was suspended. In the following year, a quartel led to the splitting of the Courier into two sections. The Phi Gamma Delta controlled one Courier and Mr. John Sullivan the other. The paper controlled by Sullivan sold out to the Courier the next spring and the two were united again.
Kansan Appears
A paper known as the Times and published by non-fraternity men was the rival of the Courier for the next year but did not reach a second volume. The successor of the Times, the University Kansan, proved a worthy foe for the Courier for the year 1889-'90.
At this time, in the days of compulsory chapel attendance on Friday, the students and faculty began to see the advantage of an official school paper. One Friday chapel was devoted to the boosting of the embryonic paper, and speeches were made by the Chancellor and a number of the students. The members of the faculty divided the chapel into sections and made a personal canvass of the entire student body soliciting subscriptions for the weekly. The next year the Kansan and the Courier were united
After running for a number of years as a weekly the same proposition confronted the editor anow, that of expanding and improving the Kansan. The movement was started by Wirt McCarty and pushed so hard that it was soon carried. September 17, 1904, the first issue of the semiweekly appeared.
into an eight page daily." This true publication appeared every Thursday morning and Saturday night. The editors who so successfully generated the semi-weekly Kansan are as follows in order: Wirt McCarty, J. W. Kayser, R. L. Douglas, Carl Young.
In this issue the editor writes an editorial as follows: "The faculty and students demanded a change and it is now 'up to them' now to support the new paper. With combined support the Kansas will run and run until it runs
For four years the little semiweekly steadily improved with the increase in interest given by the students. On May 5, 1908, the Kansan became a tri-weekly. The first publication was under the management of H. C. Waters. It was tried more as an experiment and proved so successful that it was continued. The following men were editors of the tri-weekly in their order: H. C. Waters, Paul Harvey, Jos. W. Murray, and Louis LaCoss.
This is the evolution of the Kansan which started a little paper containing scientific articles, branching out to deal with University news, and issued at irregular intervals. Then development into a weekly, a semiweekly, and then into a triti-weekly. Now after three successful years with the three issues per week, the prophecy of the first editor of semi-weekly Kansan is coming true, "The Kansan will run and run until it runs into an eight page daily."

Total, Kansas 81 Opponents 4
With the election of Harold Brownlee as captain of the team of 1912 and the big Student Council Smoker at Fraternal Aid Hall, Kansas finished its twenty-second year of football. Seven games were played, four of which were victorious for Sherwin's men. Under the leadership of captain Ammons, the quiet assuming but smashing full back of the Jayhawker team, and the tutorship of Ralph W. Sherwin, the team fought to the last second with Nebraska, then rounded into shape after their defeat at the hands of the Missouri Valley Champions and played so fierce a game against the Tigers that although not victorious, they thoroughly whipped the men of the gold and black for three quarters of the contest.
At times the men of Kansas showed a fierceness in tackling, carrying the ball, running interference, and in smashing the line that could not be resisted by their opponents. In the second game, the men seemed to feel that they owed it to themselves and to the rooters that they redeem a tie game against Baker. The words of their coach were heeded. The men did not push in making interference but rather hit and hit hard too; each player put his man out of the play. Punts were returned fast and dodging in broken fields netted many yards.
In the Manhattan and Washburn games, the "pep" displayed in previous performances was, to all appearances, lacking. Tackling was not low nor hard and the line proved weak. The safety man was depended upon once too often to save Kansas from a touchdown. Washburn crossed the goal line after they had approached dangerously near by opening up the center of the line
The Drake "Bull-dogs" expected to win. They made costly mistakes of which Kansas quickly took advantage to score. No one has been able to explain yet how Brownlee got the ball back of Drake's goal line when Simmons allowed Delaney's sixty yard punt to pass him.
Sherwin's men showed a better knowledge of the fundamentals of the game at this period. Their tackling was low and clean. Always prepared to take the aggressive, their versatility in playing a heady game of football more than made up for lack of prowess in gaining through the line. It was against Drake that "Pete" Heil and Brownlee startled the doopers and fans with the series of forward passes that set tongues to wagging.
However, this open style of play could not be used effectively in a cold blinding snow and sleet storm, against a strong fast team that was powerful in bucking the line and boasted a pair of half backs whose fleetness could circle ends almost at will. Bennie Owens' Sooners could not be scored upon, even though they were not dangerous after the first quarter. Three times Kansas was within striking distance of a touchdown, but each time unable to carry the ball over. In this contest all Kansans learned that it would do no good to tackle a stout half back about the hips.
In Stiehm's Cornhuskers, Kansas met a team of true championship caliber. Yet all Jayhawkers love to remember the first five minutes of that game, the time in

which Sherwin's men are pronounced to have outplayed Nebraska. In vain did the northerners try O. Frank on his famous end runs and the powerful Shonka on his line bucks. Kansas forced Nebraska to punt and then came Nebraska's recovery of their kick. It seemed to the onlooker that the heart ebbed from the Kansas men and Nebraska arose exaltant in their strength. At first they could stop those Cornhusker rushes, but after that recovery, first downs were easy. Gibson scored first on a forward pass.
The work of Coach Sherwn and his squad of twenty five athletes was spoiled in the final contest by a slippery field at Columbia. Failure to gain at critical times cost us a victory.
For the remainder of the game Kansas played against a better team, but, notwithstanding, Nebraska fought for every point won.
Problems in the making of the team of 1911 that had to be solved this fall by Coach Sherwin alone, will be smoothed out for the team of 1912 next spring. The men will know the fundamentals of football before they leave school this year and the development of Brownlee's team will be correspondingly faster and to a greater extent next season. The coaching staff will have a complete grasp of the situation and the making of a football machine that will win games will be started immediately upon the return to school.

"AT HOME" FROM SOONERS
Varsity Invited to Attend Their Football Banquet
The University of Oklahoma will banquet its ever-victorious football team next Saturday night and today an invitation to attend this function was received by Coach Sherwin, Manager Hamilton and the members of the varsity football squal. None of them will be able to attend.
A match is now under way between the Chess club of the University of Michigan and that of the University of Chicago. The match is carried on by mail and, as there is but one move a day, it will probably last most of the winter. It is a match in which all the members of each club are eligible to suggest plays. The positions in the games as the moves arrive, will be posted on the club bulletin board in University hall.

Every night the sixteen men who are trying out for the basket ball team of 1912 are training for the season which opens on Friday night after the return from the Christmas holidays.
Competition for places on the squad has been closer than ever before. More men, who have had experience in playing the college brand of ball, have tried out for the team than in years past, and the prospects for a winning five in the Missouri Valley Conference are good.
Kansas will first play Missouri and Washington University of St. Louis for the championship in the southern division of the Conference, and then, when winner in that division, will meet the victor in the northern half of the Conference in three games that
will decide the championship of the valley.
In the southern part, Washington University is developing a good squad of goal shooters. Missouri lost several of their best men last spring, but will no doubt replace them from their freshman squad. In the northern section, Nebraska is pointed to win the championship with the team that played so well last year. Few of their old men will fail to return, so that their team will be one of veterans again. In ease Kansas and Nebraska tangle for the final contest for the championship, a battle royal is promised by the coaches and men of both schools.
The varsity squad of tryouts has been divided into teams that play scrimmage games after the routine practice every night. The fundamentals of the open "no contact" game are being drilled into the men every night. Practice in dribbling properly, shooting goals, passing and catching the ball is all a part of their work before the games of the evening. Then the squads selected to scrimmage for the evening go on the floor for fifteen minutes of fast playing.
Speed is the element that the Coach is trying to develop now and he is getting it out of the men too. It is said that the form and whirlwind agility with which the men are playing now, rivals that of the varsity last year in mid-season form. The men are tired when they leave the floor, although the games are of only fifteen minutes duration. After the holidays, the first squad will be selected and then will commence that training for endurance that has ever been the strength of Kansas basket ball teams.
The men who are showing best at forward are: Stuckey, a veteran of last year's team, "Red" Brown and Baldwin, both of the freshman team last year, and Kent. For center, three men are doing well: Hite, captain of the
After the selection of the varsity squad, the College team, under the direction of Coach Bond will be organized and a regular schedule will be played with teams in the vicinity of Lawrence. As a curtain raiser for the opening game of the season on the floor in Robinson gymnasium, the College team will play its first game probably with Lindsborg.

The regular December meeting of the Iota Chapter of the Sigma Xi will be held at the residence of Prof. C. H. Ashton Thursday evening at 8 o'clock. Dr. L. V. Redman, Frank P. Brock and Archie J. Weith will present a paper on "Phenal Condensation—Products and Their Industrial Application."
The earthquake which occurred in Mexico last Saturday was recorded on the seismograph here. As shown on the instrument the quake lasted two and one-half hours and the height of the disturbance was at 1:20 p.m. The oscelatory movements were mostly from north to south.
JAYHAWKER COSTS $2.50
Aside from these, two teams representing the University and the College, several other teams will be organized for the students of the four classes and in the various schools. Already the freshman are divided into school teams representing the College Law and Engineering. Each one of the schools of the University will have its team. Games between the class teams and the school teams will be played regularly.

Tickets go on Sale After Christmas Holidays.
QUAKE RECORDED HERE
The tickets for the Jayhawker will be put on sale immediately after the holidays. The price will be $2.50 and will remain so until February 15.
Harold Brownlee, treasurer of the Senior class and his committee will sell the tickets in connection with the managers.
"Heretofore it has been the custom to put the tickets on sale afer the holidays," said Clark Wallace, manager of the annual. "but this year the annual board and the class think that it ought to have more to work on so as not to take chances on the number of books sold. The regular price of the Jayhawker is $2.50 but all those who do not buy their tickets before February 15 will have to pay $2.75."
Manager Wallace also wants all pictures of Seniors and school organizations handed to the annual board by February 15.
Fifteen gallons of raspberry punch were wasted at the Law Scrimmage last Friday night. No, the bottles didn't break nor did some unthinking engineers steal away with the beverage.
The fact is that Burton Sears was the custodian of the liquid and it was entrusted to him to see that guests were plentifully supplied with refreshing drinks. Entranced by sweet music and thoroughly carried away by the pleasure of the evening he forgot his charge and allowed the punch to repose untouched until the morning after the Serim.
FORGOT THE PUNCH
15 Gallons Were Not Served at Law Scrim.
It was found next morning by the decoration committee who had come to the hall to clean up after the festivities. Seven gallons of punch were returned to Wiedemann's.

The Doctor said, "Where did his jaw go?"
Christmas is near and Professor Flint's little son wanted Santa Claus to bring him some building blocks. Although the Professor is a newspaper man, but not from Chicago, he had some inclination towards the carpenter shop. Accordingly he tried the buzz saw at Fowler shop—and the block did the rest. Two stitches were taken to close the wound.
The windows in Fowler shops that are in a line with the buzz saw are perforated from blocks of wood that have gone through on hurried trips. Yesterday Prof, L. N. Flint of the department of Journalism, got in line with this machine and suffered a bad cut on the forehead.
Now the craftsmen at the shops are telling Mr. Flint just how to stand in front of a buzz saw when cutting blocks.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1911.
With this issue of the University Kansan, the official publication of the University ceases to be a tri-weekly and takes its place in the growing ranks of college dailies.
A DAILY KANSAN.
That a University as large and influential as ours needs a daily paper is undisputed, but never before have circumstances been such that a daily issue could be ventured. By taking advantage, however, of the equipment of the department of journalism the Kansan found itself able to start at a minimum initial cost. An appeal for support was made to the student body and as a result we are able to announce today that on January 6 the first Daily Kansan will come off the press.
The facilities for getting out a paper are the best and the Kansan starts auspiciously. It is recognized that there will be certain difficulties at first but we pray your indulgence until our efforts become thoroughly systematized.
Remember that this daily is your daily. It is a student publication and always will be. Come to the office with the news and help the editorial side of the paper by informing the reporters of what is happening.
The student body has given the Daily Kansan material support and it is now necessary that they make it the best college daily in the land by working in harmony with the editors of their paper.
WORK FOR A UNION BUILDING.
The Christmas holidays can be made extremely profitable for the University if a number of the students are inclined to do a little work for their Alma Mater. The movement for a Men's Union Building has reached the point where an actual outlay of money is needed to insure its erection. The members of the Men's Student Council conceived of this building several months ago and since its inception have fostered the idea until now the building appears to be more than a mere idle dream.
One hundred thousand dollars are needed before the building can be erected and properly furnished. If the alumni over the state and other public spirited people can be interested in the movement, the necessary funds can be collected without a large tax upon any one person. It has been intimated that the Board of Regents may be induced to appropriate a generous share of the money recently left the University by Ex-Governor and Mrs. Robinson for the building and if the people of the state do their part, a Union building is not at all impossible.
The students who now interest themselves in the work will be conferring a favor on a coming generation that is inestimable. Those who are now in the University can scarcely hope to see the building erected and occupied before they have completed their college career. But a building such as is proposed must necessarily appeal to anyone who has ever been a student at the University. It will be in the Union Building where all the old graduates may gather and discuss their college days. It will be a commons for both alumnus and student and the building should appeal most strongly to the former. Those who have attended other schools where they have a Union Building testify to the fact that they find a great deal more pleasure in returning to school when they know that there is one building on the campus that is always open to them.
The campaign for a Union Building has been started and it must not be stopped. The University is showing signs of its greatness. It is now taking its rightful place among the educational institutions of the land and the erection of a Union Building will be a mere indication of its progressiveness.
MARKS OF PROGRESS.
A retrospective view of what has been accomplished at the University within the past few years shows that greater steps along progressive lines have been taken than in any previous time. Within two years the Men's Student Council and the Women's Student Government Association have been formed which have combined to exercise a disciplinary control over the student body that promises to work for the welfare of all. They have taken out of the hands of the University Council the control of student discipline and if they use their powers judiciously they will retain them permanently. Under their direction steps have been taken that will lead to the erection of at least two new buildings on the campus. The girls have been prime movers in the agitation for a dormitory and the men have already started their campaign for a Union Building.
Politically, the University has had a revolution within the last
few years. In a former age the political ward heeler held as complete control of the university political situation as does his brother in the city hold in his hand the political welfare of the metropolis, but things are different now. A system of Australian ballot has superseded the "packed convention" and the "split" elections testify that the students individually are doing their own thinking. In contrast to the old graft system regarding school offices, there has been substituted the honor system—whereby one student is not able to pay his way through school by means of one Senior play.
College spirit is more healthy than in any previous year. Although the football season was not wholly successful the student body stayed by the team and by the coach in a commendable manner. The Football Smoker last Wednesday evening evidenced the kind feeling that is felt for the football team.
The result appears to be a fraternal spirit among the students such as has never before existed. With the completion of the plans already made the University will be the best college in the land.
AN APOLOGY.
This issue of the University Kansan was supposed to be a football edition in which would appear the pictures of those men who have won their letter on the gridiron this year. Owing to the delay of the Athletic Board in making its selection the Kansan was unable to procure the cuts of the men in time for this issue. It is not only a disappointment to us but also to a number of students who have been accustomed to getting the picture of the "K" men in the Christmas edition of the Kansan.
The trip of the University Glee Club at the beginning of the next semester will be one of the greatest advertisements the University has ever had. Embracing as it does a route of over two thousand miles, their trip will take them as far west as California and they will carry the "Rock Chalk" far into foreign country. The best Glee Club that this college has ever known, they ought to make a "hit" wherever they go.
Wouldn't it be a proper thing for the Athletic Board to grant reserve letters to those men who were not able to earn their "K." All of the large colleges are doing this and they have found it eminently satisfactory. It is not fair to a man who has almost played enough to win a letter that he should go unrewarded because he lacks a few minutes of play in a conference game. The plan appears just to the players and it in no way lowers the honor of the "K."
$ORORITY HAS A "POUND."
Takes Care of Articles Miss placed Downstairs
"Do you know where my muff is, Nell?"
"Yes, it's in the den on a chair! Have you seen my white gloves?" "Um-um, they're on the piano. I saw them there a little while ago."
This conversation may be heard a dozen times a day in any of the sorority houses on the Hill. While girls have never been especially classed as being careless, still it is so easy to leave a handkerchief, muff or pair of gloves on a chair or table down stairs. As a result things disappear very easily, gloves and handkerchiefs go "goodness knows where", and the girls wonder what on earth becomes of them.
For the purpose of instilling in the girls the habit of taking care of their personal things, one of the sororites has established a "pound" for all lost or misplaced articles. A committee has been appointed and every piece of wearing material or any personal article which is found down stairs out of place is immediately thrown in the "pound."
When a girl misses a collarette, suede shoes of jabot, if it is not upon the personage of one of her "sisters," she may find it in the "pound," where, upon the payment of five cents, she may redeem it before a certain period. An auction is held and then the an auction is held and then the owners in order to regain their property must bid against the crowd. Generally the owner has to pay a pretty high price for her article before it is returned to her.
The money that is received into the "pound" goes into the general house fund. In this manner the sorority is obtaining a double benefit.
One of the girls said in regard to the new system, "It was just awful the first week or two. It cost some of us 30 or 40 cents in two or three days. But I am sure that it is going to be a success and it is certainly a needed reform. The girls are taking much better care of their little knickknacks now and you can't imagine how much it improves the books of the house."

MAY CUT WITH IMPUNITY
Dartmouth Faculty Makes New Ruiling on Absences.
Cutting of classes at Dartmouth College is to be a sign of scholarship hereafter. A ruling has been made by the faculty whereby any student having an average grade of 85 per cent for the previous semester may cut a class whenever the spirit moves with perfect impunity as far as his record is concerned.
Applying to all classes but the freshman, the new regulation replaces a ruling providing that "no credit be given for a course in which a student has cut more than five times per semester hour." The old ruling still applies to all men having grades under 85. Said President Nichols, speaking of the new fredoom accorded his students: "It is not the faculty expectation that men of high standing will underestimate or lightly forego any of the opportunities of class-room instruction which the college offers. The changed regulation simply relieves them from the duty of explaining necessary absences and getting them formally excused by the Dean."
WILL MAKE ANOTHER TEST
Three Electricals Will Work on Emporia Power Plant.
An efficiency test on the Electric Railway plant in Emporia will be made during the Christmas holidays by B. R. Mock, C. V. Waddington, and H. E. Hoadley Electrical Engineers, under the supervision of Prof. C. A. Johnson, of the Electrical Engineering department. This test will be similar to the tests now being made by twenty-two senior Electricals and Mechanicals at the Kansas Gas & Electric Light Co.'s plant of Wichita.
Students Have Rink.
A skating rink will be built upon the campus by the Associated Students of the University of Montana this winter.
The A. S. U. M. is supported this year for the first time by a $5.00 addition to the annual university fee. The one payment makes all student members of the athletic association and gives them half price admission to athletic contests, debate and other univeriy functions.
If We Didn't Have To Work
O, what a prune twowould surely be
if we didn't have to work!
So much we always do and see,
if we didn't have to work.
we could he abed until noon each day
And spend the rest of the time in play;
No boss could tell us to go or stay,
if we didn't have to work.
We'd court the girls until 2 a. m.
If we didn't have to work.
And spend most of the day with them,
If we didn't have to work.
We'd take in all of the ball games, too;
We'd go to Europe and tour it through
O, there's so much that we all would do,
If we didn't have to work!
tation the whole glad time,
If we didn't have to work.
O, wouldn't it be just joy sublime,
If we didn't have to work.
We could loaf the hours away at ease
In the leafy shade of the orchard trees,
And do whatever our fancy'd pease,
If we didn't have to work.
But, gee, how sick of it all we'd get,
If we didn't have to work!
We'd stew and worry and kick and fret,
And how on earth would we ever eat?
And how would we earn the cash to meet
The bills which daily our eyes would greet,
If we didn't have to work?
We'd all grow restless and tough and bad,
If we didn't have to work.
We'd all be grouchy, morose and sad,
If we didn't have to work.
Tis best, you see, that it isn't so,
For only through work do we live and grow;
And how we'd manage—well, I don't know,
If we didn't have to work.
If we didn't have to work. —Los Angeles Express.
FOOTBALL GAMES WON IN 15 MINUTES
PROVED IN A HARVARD-
YALE GAME.
One Eighth of Time on Gridiron is Spent in Actual Exertion.
"Washington Daily."
"It takes from two hours to two hours and a half to play the average game of football. The teams are usually on the field that long, but strangely enough the players are in actual motion only about fifteen minutes. This statement has been proved."
"This is much less time than it takes to win and lose a Harvard-Yale boat race. Moreover, besides the partial let-up between the plays, there are three breathing periods of actual rest of twenty-one minutes. No doubt the personal contact of man against man accounts for the "using up" of players in football, but the sustained supreme effort of the oars-man is of longer duration. There is no let-up for him until he has exerted himself to his utmost for twenty or more minutes."
"Last year a Harvard man tried a most interesting experiment during the Harvard-Yale football game to ascertain how much time was used in actual playing. He confined his experience to one period, but that was extremely painstaking and he had a man to assist him.
"He used a stop watch, starting it with each play with the snapping of the ball by the centers and stopping it at the blowing of the referee's whistle. He repeated this process through every play of the official fifteen-minute period and found that the players were in actual motion, struggling and fighting in offense and defense, only three minutes and twenty seconds. If the time of actual playing in this period was a fair average, the duration of physical exertion in the four periods approximated fifteen minutes.
SIXTEEN CORNHUSKERS
WIN FOOTBALL LETTERS
Seventeen Reserves of the Second Team Given "R."
Sixteen football men were awarded "Ns" at the University of Nebraska. Seventeen men on the second team were given "Rs," standing for "reserve." The men who won the coveted letter are: Shonka, captain, Chauner, Elliott, Owen Frank, Gibson, Anderson, Lofgren, Russell, Harmon, Hornberger, E. Frank, Swanson, Potter, Warner, Purdy, Pearson.

THE UNIVERSITY KANSAN.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Its Opportunities and Ideals; an Interview With Professor Thorpe.
"The University Daily Kansan should first of all reflect the life of the University of Kansas," says Professor Thorpe, of the journalism department. "To attain this end it should inform its readers of all the current events of the campus, carefully keeping each in its proper proportion. If someone says the moonlight dance is barbarous, the editor is not honest with his readers if he gives this item the same important position as one to the effect that a library school has been authorized by the regents. Worthwhile news from sister colleges and universities in the Daily Kansan will tend to keep us all from growing provincial and at the same time will help us to sense the right proportion of our own news.
"After the news of the day is chronicled the second duty of the editor of the Daily Kansas will be to interpret the significance of that news to us. What does it mean? Is it of far-reaching effect? What will be the outcome? In the news columns we find that an effort is being made to coordinate the work of the three state institutions. We look to the editorial column to see what importance is attached to this movement. The editor tells us that it will eliminate jealousy and make for greater efficiency.
"Finally the Daily Kansan should entertain. Inform, Instruct, Entertain; that is the field of the modern newspaper. The college paper should give us a
HE WOULD GO AROUND
picture of college life day by day; it should see that we get a glimpse of the comedy and paths of the campus and classroom; it should give us the college anecdote, the passing triviality of the day; lampoon the foibles in clever burlesque and parody, and the thousand and one unclassified incidents that go to make up life.
"I want the Daily Kansan to have a distinct personality. I want it to have character and individuality. It must not be the conventional college paper nor yet a typical. It must be itself shot through and through with the distinctive flavor of K. U life."
"Pretty big job for the editor," the reporter suggested.
Good Smear of Mud Was Reward For Hurrying.
To "make" the slope up Adams street with an empty stomach and five minutes time, is not exactly like coming down Pikes Peak on roller skates. To "make" that slope when the narrow path is obstructed with trios and quartettes of pall-bearer-gaited maidens, results in a hurdle race, wall sealing contest or a complete blockade.
"Pretty big job for the editor," the reporter suggested. "The paper cannot be bigger than the editor." Prof. Thorpe replied. "If the editor is inaccurate, if the editor is slovenly if the editor is unfair, his paper will be inaccurate, slovenly, and unfair. But if the editor prides himself on seeing clearly and rewriting faithfully, in other words on telling the truth, if the editor is inherently clean and neat, and if he loves fair-play, then his paper will be truthful, clean and impartial.
Yesterday a slight youth with a worried look and a must-get-to-class-on-time walk faced the big hill, turned on the juice, threw in the high, and sped on towards the top. He flitted by couple after couple, and began to see himself on time once. Suddenly he was confronted with a difficult proposition—mud on both sides of the walk, and four stout maid ens, practicing stationary walking directly in front of him.
He coughed, scared his heel plates on the bricks, made a noise like a merry-go-round, but couldn't—he was blocked. He decided to take a chance; pushed his ten cent shine into the soft mud and tried to go around. He slipped turned, balanced on one foot and fell—the mud successfully covering most of him. And as he floundered he heard the maidem sav:
"Isn't that the funniest thing?"
An editor can be a gentleman, and it doesn't take a reader long to get a pretty fair picture of the man behind the paper.
GRAND ENTRANCE
WILL BE ON NORTH
The New Administration Building Will Face McCook Field When Completed.
"I want, and every Kansan who loves his University wants the Daily Kansan to be a gentlemanly paper."
When the Administration building is completed, probably in 1916, it will present a different appearance from the other buildings on the campus in that it will have two main entrances. One of these, will face on the boulevard which runs westward to Marvin Hall. This is the one that will be used most by students, but on the north, will be the grand entrance to the new building. The plan is to have a drive around the point of the hill on the north and a walk from the north entrance down over the golf links to McCook field and Mississippi street.
CAN ONE SLEEP IN A QUIZ?
One Student Did And Now Wonders About His Credit.
Is a student at perfect liberty to go to sleep during a quiz if he so desires? This is the question that is at present being discussed by certain students of the University.
No doubt you have seen students fall asleep in class, not able to withstand the lulling effects of the professor's rhythmic voice. But did you ever know of a student going to sleep during a quiz? This great peace of mind was recently reached by a junior in the College. The young man, after looking over the examination questions, calmly rested his head on the back of his chair and spent the hour in sweet dreams.
Has the professor good reason to object to such conduct? This is the question. Without a doubt a professor has a right to object to a student's sleeping during a lecture, for then he is trying to give the student something that will be of value to him. In the second case he is asking the student for something. Is it his right or duty to insist on the student's answering the questions or at least have him say whether he can or not?
Asks About Crane's Hopefuls In a recent number, Life gives room to a little pleasantant at the expense of Mr. R. T. Crane, the "enemy of the colleges." Says Life: They say Mr. Crane has several sons, and they all went to Yale. What's the matter, Mr. Crane? Haven't the boys done well? Or is it merely that you think that they would have done better if you had kept them in Chicago and made elevator boys of them?

"THE QUITTER"
"He was the queerest combination of success and failure," Thompson was saying as the waiter carried out what remained of the generous porterhouse steaks, "the strongest mixture of contrary forces that ever walked across the Michigan campus. Yes sir, Bartleson was a genius, a man who could move anything he set his hand to, a steam engine of energy, yet,"—here he paused for a word—"yet, a—something—a yellow streak, maybe, always kept him from finishing the last lap."
The other men had lighted their cigars and squared themselves to the speaker as listeners do unconsciously when they expect something interesting.
"Yes, he was a man who never finished. We were freshmen together and both joined the football squad. That's how I came to know him. As a freshman I envied him the notices in the papers in which he was alluded to as 'this year's find.' The papers were justified, for he was a whirlwind on the field and after three weeks was regularly installed on the first team.
A sure tackler, fast and always in the game, he was easily the prize freshman of the year. Well, one day he failed to show up for practice. Then the next, and the coach and captain hurried off the field to his room only to find their star player in robe and slippers, before the grate serenely smoking a big pipe."
"He was just tired of football, that was all anybody could get out of him. Thy implored, stormed and fumed; the athletic committee and a delegation from his class waited on him and he finally agreed to return to the squad. But a couple of nights of practice and he quit again. This time for good."
"He sort o' dropped out of sight, as I recall, until the second semester of his Sophomore year, when there was a good deal of talk of the unusual action of the Senior class play committee. This committee gave Bartleson the $100 prize. It caused a furore among the other contestants who claimed that his play was ineligible since the last act was only in synopsis form. Bartleson had agreed to finish it at once and as the members considered it far superior to the others, made the unprecedented award.
"He started in to finish the play,—I was rooming with him then—but 'the mood never struck him' as he said, and the committee was finally compelled to use one of the others, to the disgust of all of us who had interested ourselves in the affair.
"Then the track meet the following year. As a Freshman and Sophomore Bartleson had worked on the track only intermittently, but this year he had trained hard and consistently for the mile, and made the team in the Spring, nosing out a mighty good bunch of material at that.
"Remember that Michigan-Chicago meet? The heart-breaking finish, Chicago winning by a third of a point? The papers said the pole vault did it, but those of us who knew felt differently. The mile race was one of the first events. Bartleson appeared in fine form. He led off and kept his position until the beginning of the third lap, when the Chicago man forged ahead. We looked for Bartleson to spurt, but our hearts grew sick as we saw him limp and slow up at the 220-mark, and a second later stop and walk over to the dressing room.
"He had a stitch in his side, he said. The trainer looked him squarely in the eye, then flung one word at him, his face livid, and stalked out of the room.
“After that everyone thought he was a quitter. Maybe he was, I don't know. But I do know there was something uncanny about the fellow. One night as we were tramping home from an evening down-town—one night when he had seemed uncommonly taciturn—he burst out into a strange confidence. ‘I can't help
it. I know I'm a quitter. I know what you men think of me. But i can't help it. There's something wrong in my makeup; it's like the craving for drugs, at times it overpowers me. I'll pay for it someday. I try—but I can't help it. I can't help it! "
"Damned laziness," broke in Powers. "I know his kind."
Powers, "I know his kind," "So I thought at the time," went on Thompson, "but his words, and the peculiar intonation of his voice haunted me. Somehow I came to pity the big strong, talented fellow, and many's the time I took his part when the others slurred him. But I never could explain satisfactorily to them, or to myself, for that matter, why I upheld him.
"Yes, he always failed to finish," Thompson resumed after lightening his cigar. "His final flash in the pan was his Senion thesis. We were both medics, and he chose to go into the subject of tetanus. The numerous deaths from lockjaw at that time were causing a great deal of discussion, since it was considered incurable. Bartleson cooped himself up in the laboratory for months, working like a Trojan, throwing the same vigor and energy into his experimental and research work that he had shown on the athletic field. His thesis was reprinted in the medical journals and brought forth high praise from noteworthy scientists. All predicted that his knowledge of the dread disease would enable him to find the reagent which would successfully combat the tetanus germ.
"The Dean, an old, respected, plain-spoken man, met Bartleson at the class day exercises. He laid his hand on Bartleson's shoulder and told him that his thesis on tetanus was the best piece of work ever done in his department. 'Your work is international in scope, but it is unfinished, and I need not tell you that society demands as its right that you finish this work. Bartleson:' and the old Dean's eye clouded, 'you know and I know that your University and your classmates have expected results from you before. Understand, I am not blaming anyone, but you failed to deliver the goods. Football games are won and lost every day, but here you're given more than an athletic contest to win. My dear boy'—here his eye shot fire, 'finish this fight, finish this fight.'
"Bartleson hung his head, then looked up quickly, fairly crushed the Dean's outstretched hand, turned, and was lost in the crowd.
"That was eleven years ago," continued the speaker reminiscently, "and I've never seen on heard of him since."
"Strange you should have mentioned a tetanus thesis tonight," said Lansing quickly. "A couple of weeks ago I was called to a small town in the northern part of the county to assist in a surgical operation. It took longer than we planned, I missed my train and the local physician insisted on my going to his home
for dinner. He was a college man, agreeable, though somewhat inclined to diffidence. I thought.
"His little son, a sturdy chap of seven or eight years, ran out to meet us, and the father caught him up in his arms and made as much over him as if he had not seen him for months. He interested himself at once in the child's doings of the day, and anyone with half an eye could see that the father was immensely fond of his son.
"I suppose that we had been talking half an hour when the mother excitedly called to us, and the doctor hurried to her. In a moment he returned carrying the boy, who appeared to be in a convulsion.
'He laid him on the bed.
He laid him on the bed. '‘ Summer complaint;’ this to the mother, ‘bring me some water.’
"No sooner had she left the room than he showed me a discolored spot on the boy's bare foot.
"'A mail,' he whispered
hoarsely.
"Only for a moment did anguish and despair seem to overcome him. Then I saw his face set—it was a fighter's face. When his wife returned he was the confident and steady general of the operating room. He gave her a few simple directions as to the care of the child, whose convulsion had now left him, and in answer to a look, I followed him to the basement. There he had fitted up an extensive laboratory, as finely equipped as any I have ever seen. He answered my look of inquiry that his father had fitted up for him 'for some special work' he said, 'ten years ago.'
"Then, swinging around to me, he asked 'Will you help me?' And without waiting for an answer, 'I'll do the work now:' this came hoarsely, 'and with God's help I'll finish.'
When I returned I found him working like mad in the laboratory.
" 'You look after the boy' he almost shouted to me," 'fight for every minute, and I'll save him.'
"The guinea pigs had arrived and he was ready for them. He developed thousands of tetanus germs and long before morning the little animals were writhing under the influence of inoculation.
"He selected one and placed it in a glass box.
"Together we watched the pig. Its violent convulsions became less marked, stopped; its legs relaxed, and as the cold became more intense it made an effort to get to its feet.
"'I want to try freezing, he mumbled. Then, as if in explanation, 'You see I made quite a study of this once.'
"He removed the pig, laid it on the table, and watched it feverishly. For ten minutes, it must have been, he kept his gaze riveted on the little animal. Then as he saw its eyes roll, its back bend, sure signs of another convulsion, he turned to me and muttered savagely 'Better look
after the 'boy' and began his work anew.
"The boy was rapidly growing worse. His convulsions were more frequent, and the sight of water, as in extreme cases, threw him into violent hysteries.
"I watched incessantly, the mother ever at my elbow. The little lad's jaws were now firmly locked, and in his most violent
convulsions it was necessary for us to hold him to prevent them from breaking his spine. And as we stood together, helpless, as the little body suffered the greatest torture known to man we could hear the nervous tramp, trump, trump, resounding from the concrete floor of the basement below.

INDUSTRIAL CHEMICAL FELLOWSHIPS
By Robert Sellers
The first Fellowship in Industrial Chemical research was established here five years ago through the efforts of Doctor Robert Kennedy Duncan, who was then head of the department of Organic Chemistry. F.W. Faragher was paid five hundred dollars a year to investigate the "Chemistry of Laundering" for two years.
This enterprise met with success and at the close of its time, the salary was doubled and the time extended several months.
Of the fourteen fellowships established at the University since the first, eight have been completed.
The work that Professor Duncan has done in years past toward the co-relation of learning and commercial industries is being fully appreciated now. The student and producer are working together and entirely for their mutual benefit. After business men and the large producing firms had been shown how the student in his laboratory, in the midst of his books, and tutored by near sighted professors could aid them, they were ready to invest their money in the work at the University.
What are some of the concrete ways in which the student helps the producer? He discovers new and cheap materials that may be used in the manufacture of his product. Best of all he closes all channels of waste minimizing loss in that direction.
Professor Duncan meets the manufacturer for whom he wishes to establish a fellowship, not as a professor looking for a job, but as a man prepared to deliver a certain valuable commodity—the services of one of his students. He says that the
American manufacturer or producer will not be able to compete successfully with the foreigner simply on account of the factor of waste that enters into the work done by the American. This will have to be eliminated by the Chemical Research Fellow.
Only men who are well prepared for the work are made the beneficiaries of these Industrial Fellowships and then the recompense is such as will permit them to devote all their time to investigation. Ofen a bonus is offered upon the favorable outcome of the subject under investigation. The fellowships that are held at the present time are:
The relation between the optical properties of glass and its chemical constitution," by Dr. E. Ward Tillotson. It is based on the fact that nearly every kind of glass has a different refraction. If a certain refraction can be obtained, the glass can be used to great advantages in the making a special reflector for electric lights.
"An Investigation into the Extractive Principles of the Glands of Deep-sea Mammals" by E. R. Woidlein is the search for the medicinal properties which might be found in the ductless glands of whales.
“An Investigation into Adhesives, Bindets and Preservative for Woods and Metals” by Dr. L V. Redman, Frank P. Brock and Archie J. Weith. This fellowship is an extension of and an evolution out of the fellowship held last year by Dr. Redman for the purpose of determining the preservatives of wood.
"Imp improvements in the Dyeing of Vegetable Ivory and the Utilization of Vegetable Ivory Waste" by J. P. Trickey is a
search for a better process of coloring and shaping the substance found in the nut of a species of nut. When young, this nut contains a whitish, albuminous material which gradually hardens into a close grained substance resembling the finest ivory. It is now used for buttons, chessmen, billiard balls, etc.
"The Utilization of Petroleum" by F. W. Bushong and J. W. Humphrey. The principal feature in this is the manufacture of soap from the by-products of the refinery. A soap of good quality and high cleansing properties has already been discovered. The problem which remains is the elimination of the offensive odor which it contains.
"The Utulization of Gilsonite" by W. E. Vawter, seeks new properties and uses for a variety of asphalt. It is the most recent fellowship established here.
The field has broadened to such an extent that it was necessary to locate a number of fellowships at the University of Pittsburg, where there are now twenty-three. Several old K. U. men are at work there among whom are the following:
Dr. H. A. Kohman and Dr.
Charles Huffman are working on
"The Chemistry of Bread."
Walter Hobbs, "The Chemistry of Baking."
R. C. Shuicy, "The Manufacture of Glue."
Paul Parmalee, "The Utilizaion of Waste Grease."
Dr. J. F. MacKey, "Improvements in the Manufacture of Cement."
Doctor Duncan says that the range of activity of industrial chemistry is rapidly widening and it will not be long before new fellowships will be granted of vastly more importance than any now.

SOME THESES BY OUR ENGINEERS
By Herbert Flint
Some very interesting and practical work is divided in the annual set of Senior theses recently given out by the various department heads of the Engineering school to the Senior Engineers of 1912. Three lines of work are open, laboratory investigation with experiments and compilation of data, along the lines of cement work, paving brick and good roads; designing, such as making practical plans for sewers, water works and bridges; and library investigation, consisting of a summarizing investigation of data on some subject not having definite data and formulae yet compiled.
"Each student must complete a successful thesis before graduating from the Engineering School," said Professor Hoad, in speaking of this year's work. "The senior thesis is a practical test of the student's power made under actual working conditions that will be met with everywhere, and is an absolute requirement."
Water Reservoir.
To design a practical water supply reservoir near Lawrence is the thesis assigned to John B. Boesche and Fred E. Johnson Civil Engineers.
This thesis, which involves problems to be encountered in western irrigation and city water-supply work, presents a practical and interesting bit of investigation under actual working conditions. Given a location along a stream, the students must design a dam which will impound an amount sufficient to guarantee a yield of 1,000,000 gallons of water a day, the year around—enough for a city of 10,000 people.
Work on this thesis will be done on Baldwin's Branch, about six miles northwest of Lawrence and directly south of Lake View. Here is a large drainage area the waters from which will be used for the water supply. A dam which will make a lake of some 160 acres will be designed for a certain situation on this stream. Just how big a dam will be required for a daily yield of 1,000,000 gallons of water, of what material, how high, cost of dam, and what amounts of water different heights of the dam will impound, are some of the problems involved.
Careful surveys of the entire drainage area affected must be made, so as to compute the amount of water to be expected. All available local rainfall data as well as the United States statistics, must be consulted, so as to allow for floods, and also to make calculations for drought evaporation, seepage, etc. Questions of sanitation will come up. In the end, the students must make plans based upon their data which will enable a dam to be built as cheaply and well as possible, and guarantee 1,000,000 gallons of water every day of the year, whether it be for irrigation or city purposes.
"This is a typical city water supply problem which is being encountered over the state all the time," said Professor Hoad in speaking of this thesis. "Working under actual field conditions, near to school, the boys ought to make a fine piece of work out of this."
Bridge at Ellsworth
Something more than mere school work is involved in the thesis now being worked out by H. V. Becker and Bert E. Dodge Civil Engineers, who are to design a reinforced concrete highway bridge suitable to be placed over the Smoky Hill river on one of the principal streets of the city of Ellsworth, Kansas, the home of Mr. Becker.
An old "tin" bridge out of date, and unsuited to present traffic conditions spans the Smoky Hill at Ellsworth. Why not get up a design for a modern
bridge for the home folks thought "Beck?"
As a result, plans are now being made for a three-span, reinforced concrete arch bridge to fit that particular place, with roadway and side walk room provided. The entire structure including foundations, piers and superstructure will be of concrete reinforced with steel, after the most approved manner of bridge building. Borings and surveys will be made at the proposed place of construction, and everything drawn up just as if the city of Ellsworth were about to put in the bridge itself.
Farm Drainage.
Down the Santa Fe tracks southeast of Lawrence is the town of Franklin. Near here Guy S. Smith and Roy M. Smith, brothers, Civil Engineeeds, will design a scheme of surface and sub-surface drainage for a half-section of very flat land. For years, this land, which lies unusually level, has been almost useless because of the lack of natural drainage. The land, which is very rich, cannot be worked in wet seasons on account of standing water.
To remedy this, the Smith brothers will lay out plans for ditches, tile drains, etc., so as to enable this land to be worked at any time of the year regardless of rainfall and lack of natural drainage.
L. A. Baldwin and E. L. Bray, Electricals will make a study of the direct-current distribution of the Kansas City Electric Light Co's plant in order to determine whether or not it would be heaper for the company to abandon certain of its direct-current distributing system, and replace these with alternating-current supplies.
Practically all of this work will be done by the students at the office of the Lighting Company in Kansas City, where they will have access to all the operating records of the company, cost of machinery, wiring, etc. Any additional tests that may be necessary to arrive at definite conclusions will be arranged for by these men.
O. E. Marvel and F. C. Walden will make a study of telephone transmission. At present, they are experimenting with delicate vibrators to be used in an oscillograph, an instrument for determining the distribution of magnetism in rotary convertors. As soon as this instrument is perfected the students will be given use of the toll lines of the Missouri & Kansas telephone company, either in Kansas City or Lawrence, for making comparisons of the traces of speech over loaded and unloaded telephone lines.
Elmer Dershem will determine the ratio of transformation and the phase relations of instrument transformers . under different conditions of loading.
G. O. Brown and T. P. Steeper will make complete tests of the street car motors used by the Lawrence Street Railway & Light Co.
C. F. Hansen and E. E. Stephens will make an oscillograph study of armature reaction.
E. L. Wright and George Magatagan will make a comparison of the methods of securing multiple speeds for direct-current motors.
R. L. Parker and H. F. Wilson will study the servicibility of portable electrical instruments.
M. K. Thomen and D. H. Cadmus will design and figure on the construction of a magnetic ore separator.
Mining Engineers.
Considerable laboratory work will be done by Mining Engineers in working out their theses this year. One of the most important subjects assigned is that of testing Kansas coals
with reference to cooking and by-products. It is being handled by Morton G. Monroe, under the supervision of Prof. W. A. Whitaker, of the Metallurgy laboratories. This problem will furnish some data in regard to our Kansas coal fields, their values, and possibilities.
"The Explosibility of Coal Dust," will be undertaken by O, L. Andrews. This problem is very timely in connection with the recent coal mining disasters throughout this country which impelled Congress to establish a testing station at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where it was demonstrated beyond a doubt that coal dust was largely responsible for most of the great coal mining disasters of recent years.
Geo. M, Brown will make a study of Coal Washeries, after the large washeries recently established in the coal fields of Southeastern Kansas.
A. H. Manglesdorf will investigate the efficiency of concentrating plants for lead and zinc ores.
Mechanical Engineers
Much of the material used in the theses assigned to the Mechanical Engineers will come from data gathered on the long trip made by a party of Mechanicals early in the fall to Chicago Milwaukee, and other northern manufacturing cities.
"Handling of Material at the Gary Steel Plant," by T. D. Howard, is the direct result of this trip.
Geo. H, Broderick will study "Paper Mill Equipment."
Chas. G. Martinson, "The Development of the Iron and Steel Industries."
L. L. Browne, "Engine Piston Rings."
THE QUITTER.
(Continued From Page 8)
"On the morning of the third day I went down to tell the father that the boy could not last much longer. I found him standing breathless, awaiting the outcome of an experiment. For three days he had worked like a madman. His feverish eyes, his unshaven face, his haggard countenance, had made him look like one." I suggested that he see the patient, and he answered curtly 'I haven't time.' The food which I had carried to him I noticed was untouched.
"Without looking up he muttered to himself 'It's only a simple salt solution injected under the shoulder blade."
"And as he watched I saw the pig stagger to its feet.

"We stood motionless." "The pig moved its head slowly from right to left. Then it grunted.
"The father seized the solution and bounded up the stairs. I followed.
"He rushed through the house but at the bedroom door he stopped.
"His wife was kneeling at the bedside moaning. His son waaded."
The silence that followed the narration was broken by the scratching of a match. "He never finished," said Thompson as he lighted his dead cigar.
WHAT! HAM AND EGGS
"Board on Hill, first class price $4.00 per week—ham and eggs with extras."
But Maybe This Landlady's Chickens Don't Mind Cold
But maybe the boarding house lady has chickens that do not mind the cold.
This announcement appeared on the bulletin board yesterday. "Ham with eggs"—yes and they cost 38 cents a dozen. Today the landlady probably has a bunch of hungry engineers, several students of physiology, who did not like the sausages that they got at the last boarding house and many others.

ALUMNI RAISE DORMITORY FUND
COUNTY ORGANIZATIONS
ARE WORKING
Students Give Proceeds of Many Enterprises - Faculty Offers Active Support.
Bv Miss Alberta Corbin
The State Alumni Committee on a Building for Girls has progressed so far with the organization of the Kansas Counties that preparations have been made for a state wide campaign for pledges in the holidays. Letters have been sent out to all county chairmen with suggestions that a meeting be held in every county between Christmas and New Year's.
This is the time when many counties regularly hold a meeting of Alumni and former students, and present students. It is hoped that this year every county in the state will do so. At these meetings pledges for the Building will be made and a campaign of the county planned the campaign to be made in the remaining days of the vacation The County chairmen have been requested to report the result to the University on January 8.
Task Not a Great One
Alumni of other colleges have done as much or more. A small college in Indiana with only three hundred Alumni recently raised $250,000. The students and faculty assisted the Alumni in the work. The Alumni of Indiana University raised $50,000 two years ago. Last year the Alumni of Texas raised $100,000 which they presented outright to the University as a free gift "for the good of Alma Mater."
The alumni have undertaken to raise $75,000. The task is not great if united action is taken. Any of the larger Kansas towns can raise for a public building as much as the alumni are asking from the whole state. Indeed they not only can do so. They have done so.
The question has been asked, how soon can the total amount be raised. The committee has hoped from the beginning that the work would be done by June 1, 1912. Other Alumni are of the same opinion. It has been suggested for instance that a three days campaign would bring in such a sum that the remaining amount could be easily and quickly added. Success depends chiefly upon united action.
One of the county chairmen has said, "All we want to know is what our county should contribute. We can raise the money as easily in six weeks as we could in six months. Let us finish this business and get ready for something else, and not have it drag on until everybody is tired and sick."
Many members of the Alumni Association residing in other states are working for the Dormitory. In Kansas City, Missouri, members say they will raise $15,000.
Men and women are taking an active part in the movement which has become statewide. Prominent people in all sections of Kansas are working to raise money.
Regents Support It.
The Board of Regents were approached on the subject at the beginning of the movement, and on June 16, they passed unanimously the following resolution
"Resolved that the Board of Regents express its appreciation of the effort being made by the alumni to raise a fund for the erection of a building for University girls. This is a great need at the University and the Board will place the girls building on University grounds."

FORMER STUDENT, FISHING EXPERT ON ALBATROSS
Johnston, Senior College Last Year, Investigated Halibut Beds on Alaskan Coast.
Edward C. Johnston, a senior in the College last year, returned yesterday from an eight month's cruise in Alaskan waters to spend the holidays with his parents at 1501 Rhode Island street. While in school Johnston specialized in biology but before he had completed his work for an A. B. degree he took the civil service examination and obtained a position as captain's clerk on the ship "Albatross" which works under the direction of Bureau of Fisheries. The ship sailed from Seattle last June and proceeded north along the Alaskan shore investigating the halibut beds. This work was kept up until the ship grew unseaworthy and the captain put back to San Francisco for repairs. The boat is now in the harbor waiting until Congress appropriates money for the repairs and Johnston took advantage of the delay and came home for the holidays.
"We had an uneventful cruise," said Johnston today. "The boat has a crew of seventy men and officers besides four men connected with the Bureau of Fisheries. We went as far north as the Bering Sea. The weather of Alaska is delightful and the scenery among the small islands is wondeful."
movement their hearty support. At a meeting called November 8 for the special purpose of discussing the plans of the Alumni Committee, the following resolution was introduced and adopted :
"Resolved that it is the sense of the general faculty of the University of Kansas that the proposed Woman's Building at this institution is an urgent and primary necessity, and that the efforts of friends of the University should and must be centered upon this object until it is achieved."
A committee consisting of Professors Haworth, Billings, Green Bailey, Dunlap, Kester, and Shadd was appointed to solicit funds. Substantial contributions have already been made.
Students' Work.
Of peculiar importance is the interest evinced by the students themselves. The Student Government Association has pledged the net proceeds of the May Fete. The Senior girls are raising money. The Juniors are giving a series of candy sales. The Sophomore and Freshmen are only waiting for a clean field to carry out plans. Private organizations also are taking part in the movement. Allemania is arranging to give a play. Kappa Kappa Gamma has given the proceeds of a Dutch Market, Chi Omega and Pi Phi have both made pledges.
The various counties, too, are planning to raise money. Barber County students will work up a play and make the tour of the county towns in the summer. Kansas City, Missouri students have arranged a social event for the holidays, the proceeds of which will go to the Building fund.
The local interest in the Alumni undertaking is of great importance. The Alumni committee of twenty five in Lawrence have presented the question to the women through their clubs. Many clubs have voted unanimously to favor the movement in every possible way. Over three hundred women have pledged themselves to help carry the work to a successful issue.

Middle Laws Appointed a Committee to Prove That They Are Working.
Who says that the Laws are not an energetic crowd of young men? For a long time it has been the opinion among University people that the School of Law is a place where "snaps" may be obtained at will and where those of the leisure class may make up the sleep they lost the night before. This idea has been more or less augmented by the fact that numerous stories have been circulated in regard to slumber parties in class, cutting class in order that a date may be kept and the exceedingly great interest the Laws take in all University affairs outside of the class room.
Study Equity Pleadings—3 concentrated hours.
In order that the School of Law may have justive done it the members of the Middle class have appointed a committee to make a thorough investigation of the exact time during which a law is necessitated to apply himself to study. The conclusion reached, as shown in the following schedule, requires a thirty hour day if the law wishes to make use of all the time demanded of him. The schedule is:
Practice Court—3 concentrate ed hours.
Outside lectures—3 concentrated hours
Recitation—3 concentrated hours.
Eating—3 concentrated hours.
Recreation, fussing, etc.—3 contrated hours.
Sleeping—Eight concentrated hours.
