NUMBER 53.
CHANCELLOR FAVORS ASSEMBLY SCHEME
Daily Kansan's Plan Should Be Considered by Committee, He Says
TWO COUNCILS SHOULD ACT
Dean Olin Templin Suggests Setting Aside Full Period Week for Undergraduate Gatherings.
Urgent further consideration of the plan presented by the University Daily Kansan for student assemblies, Chancellor Frank Strong this afternoon declared he favored the adoption of a longer walking definite times for such purposes.
The following is the Daily Kanan plan: The morning schedule should be rearranged on Tuesdays and Fridays so as to shorten each class five minutes and shorter the time between classes the same amount. In this way the students would make an extra effort to get to classes promptly, and the faculty would sacrifice the same amount of class time to the working out of the plan. On the two days mentioned, morning classes would be over at 11:15 o'clock and the rest of the morning would be devoted to the assembly. On one day the present Friday chapel with 'an outside speaker, would be continued under the direction of the faculty, while on the other day the period would be turned over to the students to be used as they considered best.
"I am heartily in favor of some plan whereby the students will be given some definite time when they can hold meetings," said Chancellor Frank Strong. "I am not positive as to the scheme which would prove the best. Most certainly, the plan suggested by The Daily Kansan should be submitted to the Student Council. If the Council is agreeable, it can consider the plan with the committee of the University Council, and some conclusion can be arrived at whereby the interests of all will be advanced."
Dean Olin Templin, is in favor of giving the student body full control of some definite period during the week and not having it on a small scale, and found a success.
"Under the plan being considered by the University Council," said Dean Templin, "chapel would be held every day at 11 o'clock. On Fridays no classes would be held after chapel. Two hours would be held Monday and Thursday, two hours Tuesday and Thursday. Four hour courses would also probably be planned.
"If the students want a period over which they would have full control, I would favor a trial by giving them a part of the long period planned for Fridays, or a short period on another day. Thus no radical change would be made in schedules until it was definitely shown whether or not the students really desire such an hour, and that it would be a success."
Prof. Hopkins Makes Report Giving English Teacher That Distinction
That English teachers work the hardest and give instruction to their students at less cost per capita than any other University department was the statement made by Prof. E. M. Hopkins, of the Department of English, in a report given before the second annual meeting of the National English Council, held in Chicago, November 28 to 30, and of which he is a director and executive committeeman.
HARDEST WORKER ON EARTH DISCOVERED
"Trust her not confiding student For She's a fickle Goddess."—Anon.
Professor Hopkins bases this assertion on the results of personal research which he has embodied in a report made for the National Committee on English Composition of which he is chairman.
Out of 130 schools investigated, it was found that the average number of students assigned to an English teacher was 138, in German 86, mathematics 115, Latin 96, and science 77

CINEMA MUSEO
PHARMACY COURSES APPROVED BY BOARD
Prospective Druggists May Now Burn Midnight Oil
At - Home
Kansas boys who want to study pharmacy will be encouraged by a resolution of the State Board of Pharmacy made public today. The act approves the extension courses in pharmacy of the University of Kansas, which makes possible study for the profession without leaving home.
Students who take this extension work in the future will therefore be trained along lines favored by the state board, under whose direction certificates in pharmacy are awarded in Kansas.
The Board of Pharmacy of Kansas approves the efforts of the University of Kansas in extending its educational work in Extension courses and especially commends its efforts in bringing to the pharmacists in different parts of the state the training in Pharmacy through its Correspondence course. The Board of Pharmacy will aid the board of Pharmacy in its efforts to raise the educational standing of applicants seeking registration through this board.
The state board in addition decided to credit as practical experience all time actually spent at the University School of Pharmacy. The board approved a course before it will award a certificate, but under the new ruling, this requirement will be considerably diminished for University students.
The following is the complete res c lution:
It is further resolved that the board give credit for any time actually spent in residence at the University (which time being spent in pharmaceutical laboratory or class room instruction). The credit for same being recognized by the board equal to practical experience. For example, three months are spent in receiving such instruction, for these three months, three months practical experience will be accredited.

HANGOVERS FROLICKED MUSIC TEACHERS MEET
W. S. G A. Entertained Three Hundred Marooned Students Thursday afternoon
About three hundred students who didn't go home or elsewhere for Thanksgiving enjoyed the W. S. G. A. entertainment held in the girl's section of the gymnasium Thursday afternoon. From 3 to 6 p. m. the homeless ones rollicked and sported in old fashioned games, "chawed" taffy and nuts, and danced the good old Virginia reel our fathers and mothers knew.
"The boys were as numerous as the girls, and had just as good a time," said Frances Powell, one of those in charge in speaking of the show.
The rooms were decorated with corn-fodder, pumpkins, bittersweet, and other autumn foliage and made to imitate a Thanksgiving scene of pioneer days in Kansas. Under the direction of the W. S. G. A. members refreshments and amusements were furnished in such abundance that from the usual formal University party the affair turned into the merriest frolic seen on the hill in years.
Original Selection by Dean Skilton to be Played at Annual Festival
WHO'D A THOUGHT THEY WOULD STUMP A STUMP
At the fifth annual festival of Kansas Music Teachers to be held in Manhattan December 5, 6, and 7, a special program of music by Kansas composers will be give Thursday afternoon. Prof. Wort Morse will play a selection by Dean Charles S. Skilton entitled "Impromptu in F. Sharp Minor." Professor Morse will also play an Elegy written by Professor Cox of Highland.
Professors C. A. Preyer, Dean Skilton, Wort S. Morse, C. E. Hubach, Miss Anna Swenecy, Harriet Greissinger are among those who will attend fro me the University.
Prof. Merle Thorpe of the department of journalism is in Chicago attending a convention of teachers of journalism from all parts of the United States. Professor Thorpe will deliver a speech at one of the sessions. He will return from the convention Wednesday.
PROF. THORPE ATTENDS
JOURNALISM CONGRESS
The sun peeped over Fraser and cast a glance at the petrified stump near Snow hall. The stump shivered slightly and smiled.
"Hello, Sol," it yelled. "Glad to see you. I nearly freeze sometimes since they stuck that building up over there."
A student passed down the sidewalk and smashed the stump between the eyes with his cane. "Wow!" gasped the stump. "Wonder if that can be broken?" is mighty badly fooled. He ought to see the canes carried in my day. When I used to be on earth in the shape of an oak tree, men used to
carry canes that were canes. As far back as I can remember, men carried clubs for protection against beasts, and later in my life they carried clubs for protection against other men. But what on earth they carry canes? Or are they the one guy did he go, Sol? I can't see from here."
Sol east another kindly glance toward the stump and settled himself for his day's work.
"Went into Green hall," answered Sol.
"Must be a lawyer. That ex-
pels me. But some one will
take him for a burglar."
"Can't say that I blame him much," answered Sol. "However, I am prejudiced. Those lawyers are faithful fellows. They are sitting on the steps every time I take my first look at the top of the hill and are still there when I leave at night."
SCHOLARSHIPS FOR YEAR-ARE AWARDED
K. U. Women Receive Prizes Through Generosity of Local Donors
The awarding of the scholarships given for the benefit of the women of the University of Kansas for 1912-13, was announced this morning by Miss Hannah Oliver, secretary of the scholarship committee:
Adella Pepper of Lawrence, a senior in the College, received the Innes memorial scholarship. The Daughters of the American Revolution scholarship was awarded to Bonnie Bailey, junior College, also of Lawrence. Miss Bailey was also awarded the scholarship given by the Kansas chapter of the American Collegiate Alumnae.

FLAMES DESTROY BEAUTIFUL HOME
Completely Devastate Professsor Emerson's Residence On University Heights
CAUSE OF BLAZE UNKNOWN
Defective Wiring Recently Connected Thought to Have Started Fire— Almost no Furnishings Saved
The beautiful home of Prof. H. W. Emerson, situated on University Heights burned to the ground early Sunday morning with almost a total loss.
The fire was first discovered about three o'clock in the morning when part of the tile roof fell in, showing the entire upper part of the house to be on fire. Aided by the high wind the fire spread so rapidly that nothing could be saved from the upper story.
The Lawrence fire department responded to the alarm, making connection with the University plug at the Engineering building, and drawing on both Potter Lake and the city mains for pressure. Owing to the long run, the firemen arrived in time to save a few pieces of furniture and household effects from the lower floor.
From all indications the fire started from defective wiring in the upper story, though the actual circumstances will probably never be known. The house was wired for electricity two years ago, but the fact that electrical connections was not made until a few days ago lends strength to the theory that defective wiring started the blaze.
The gale from the south sent sparks down the hill to Warren street, setting fire to grass on the hillside and endangering residences in the valley west of Mississippi street.
Professor Emerson and wife are staying temporarily at the home of Professor Shaad.
BLIND PIANIST'S RECITAL
PLEASED MUSIC LOVERS
Edward Baxter Perry, the celebrated blind pianist, gave a piano recital Tuesday night in Fraser hall, as the third number of the fall recital course.
Mr. Perry is one of the greatest exponents of the lecture recital method in the United States. Before each of his selections, he explained the theme of the composition and made it easier for the average hearer to get the full appreciation of the work.
Mr. Perry is a composer of rank and among the numbers on the program, were some of his own composition.
"GO AFTER IT HARD! WE'RE WITH YOU!"
Students Were Told That Home Folks Would Support Mill Tax
Many students returning from their homes in different parts of the state report a general sentiment in favor of the mill tax. The people seem to feel that the state educational institutions have been beggars long enough and that it is time to put them on a permanent business basis.
Among those interviewed during the vacation were several members of the legislature. Most of them appeared willing to submit the mill tax proposition to the voters but were not sure it would carry.
"The fact that it has lost twice in Missouri, it is encouraging however," said one member. "Kansas will hardly follow Missouri's lead in educational matters, any more than in athletics."
Several students talked to the editors in their towns and have the promise of hearty support for the tax amendment."

AT WORK AGAIN.
Things seem rather blue today, after a week's rest, when we look at neglected studies, piled up lessons, and boarding club fare. Still it's good to be back.
And being back, the faculty expects us to take hold more firmly than before, and work as though we had really rested during the week. Which obviously enough, may be a vain expectation on their part. For the past week has been full of everything but rest.
And alas, for the quizzes that come during the next few days. Concentration for a quiz, or for just an hour's recital of lessons seems to be a thing of the past. The mere thought of buckling into things again causes homesickness. But things will straighten out after a little while, and everyone will again be able to study and enjoy it.
And despite the chaotic condition that everything seems to have drifted into, we repeat that it's good to be back.
A REVISED DIRECTORY
It may be necessary to leave the questions as to who are the M. V champions to a straw vote.
In a communication last week the plan of having the changed addresses of students printed in the Daily Kansan was urged. It is the custom of the Kansan to print a revised list twice a year and the first one will not be long in forthcoming.
Meanwhile, if you have moved,
and wish to get in the revised list,
it would be a good idea to report
your new address to Registrar Foster
immediately.
JAY HAWKS
It is thought that at the meeting of the math "guns" last week, several theories were exploded.
A Jay Hawk after a Missouri game is a catbird because as we understand it a catbird is a bird that eats cats. If it were not for Jay Hawks it would not be possible to help reduce the cost of living by furnishing tiger meat for the football team over Thanksgiving.
Like making the eagle scream any football speech maker who makes the Jay Hawk squawk is greeted with storms of applause. Let him merely suggest that "We are going to win that game tomorrow" before a stumped herd of rooters gathered together for the purpose of working up enthusiasm, scattering cornstalks over the campus, burning evergreen trees in front of Fraser hall, and killing the two class periods between chapel and dinner—just mention it to such a bunch and the very honey pots on Mt. Olympus will clatter from the demoxestration for several minutes.
It is rather difficult to understand why there are Tigers because it was
necessary that the tigers and Jay Hawks should be in the same ark during Noah's time, and since the tiger cannot last over an hour and a half when there is a Jay Hawk around it is difficult to understand how he withstood it unpimp dumps at the time mentioned. However there are Jay Hawks and tigers.
The Jay Hawk is the only bird that sings cuss words to the tune of "Hallejhah thine the glory" but he is excused, we think, by a poem from the Missouri University Oven one verse of which is given here.—
A lesson can be learned from our
rain efforts to be tame
Heaven for souls but it takes hell To win a football game.
It would seem that the season for Jayhawks was not so open as some persons imagined.
No water. Shucks, who wants to wash anyway?
Well, what's the difference? We'll grow another voice before next all.
Cornell and Harvard students have tarted a movement in New York and Massachusetts to have the state legislature enact a state law permitting non-resident students to vote in national elections.
AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY
AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY—
What did yesterday amount to for you?
We asked that of some six or seven fellows, and received various answers. To one it meant a day to catch up the work that he had missed during the week. To another it meant a day to spend absolutely quiet. To a third a day to read the papers, to loaf around the room, to have some talks with the fellows. To another it meant one long strain of fussing.
But to no one did it mean what Sunday should mean. From every standpoint, Sunday should be a day for a "change of labors." It should keep you from getting stale. If you are in the custom of working inside all week, your religion, on the seventh day, should be to get outside. To take a long walk in the woods, or out in the country, to paddle on the lake—anything but the regular routine work. If you are outdoors all of the week, a long day loafing around the room with a book and a pipe will help. Anything to take your mind off the steady work.
And we wish to remark that there are a number of instructors who are fond of remarking that your section has three days less time laboratory time than the other sections, but that doesn't make any difference—you have got to get it done. But as we understand a laboratory course, you are supposed to put in the usual amount of time, the same as all other men. As you are not given credit for the extra work, why do it? And there are others who tell you that "the building will be open Sunday for all those who wish to work." Is that not thoughtful of them?
We are not telling you that on Sunday you must go to church. That is a matter that you must decide for yourself. But if a day tramping, with the yellow leaves crackling under foot, and the water lapping against the gray stones is not enough to give you courage to start the new week, more religion can't and will never do it.—Wisconsin Daily News.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF WISE OLD BOYS
Ancient learning may be distinguished into three periods: Its commencement, or the age of postits; its commencement, or the age of critics; and its decline, or the age of critics. In the poetical age, commentators few, but might have, in some respects, made themselves philosophical, their assistance must necessarily become obvious; yet, as if the nearer we approached perseverance may have forced their directions, in this period they began to grow numerous.

The King of Purgatory sent his lictors to earth to bring back some skilful physician. "You must look for one," said the King, "at whose door there are no aggrieved spirits of disembodied patients." The lictors went off, but at the house of every doctor they visited there were crowds of wailing鬼 hanging about. At last they found a doctor who was only a single shade, and cried out, "This man is evidently the skilful one we are in search of." On inquiry, however, they discovered that he had only started practice the day before. —From the Chinese.

O yet we trust that somehow good Will be the final goal of ill,
Defects of doubt, and taints of blood;
That nothing walks with aimless
That not one life shall be destroyed,
or case as rubbish to the void,
When he made the pile complete;
That not a moth with vain desire is shrivelled in a fruitless fire, or but subserves another's gain. Behold, we know not anything;
I can but trust that good shall fail
At last--far off--at last, to all.
And every winter change to spring.
So runs my dreams; but what am I?

The Eskridge high school has won every game this year, and has a score
of 189 points to five points against them. Eskridge claims the state high school championship and is willing to play any high school team in the state to defend that title.

SESSION ON CAMPUS TO REVISE LAW CODE
Three Kansas Societies Will Consider Changes in Present State Statutes
Revision of the Kansas criminal laws and court procedure is one of the purposes of a joint session of the Kansas State Society of Criminal Law and Criminology, Kansas Conference of Charities and Corrections and the Association of Probate Judges, which will be held on the campus Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Experts from all over the state will consider changes in the present codes and will present their findings in bills for consideration by the legislature.
Bills have already been drawn up by the Criminal Law Society providing for the change in the time allowed for appeal to the Supreme Court from two years to one year, for the sterilization of criminals, for the destruction of unhealthy houses, and these, with similar measures will be discussed and passed upon by the three organizations.
The program for the meetings will include the following addresses: "A Study of Jails and Lock-ups," Warden J. K. Codding; "Economics of Public Health," Dr. S. J. Crumbine, dean University School of Medicine; "What is the State Doing for the Delinquent Boys?" Supt. H. W Charles, Boys' Industrial School, Teoka; "The State and the Homeless Child." Miss Adda Lobdell, State Agent, Orphans' Home, Atchison; "Methods of Handling Insane Cases as viewed by the Probleate Judge," John T. Sims, Probate Judge, Wyandotte County; and "The County Charity of Kansas," H. S. Bowman, chairman State Board of Control. John B. Winalow, Chief Justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court and Judge Merritt W.

COACHES PREPARE FOR CLASS GAMES
Struggle For Supremacy Promises to Be a Fierce One
CAN YOU PLAY FOOTBALL?
Expect Every Man Who Has Played to Come Out—Are Looking for Varsity Material.
The inter-class games will begin on the 14th of December, and all players who expect to come out for the team are urged to report as soon as possible. Practice will begin Tuesday afternoon under the direction of Courses Mossee and Frank.
As soon as enough men report for each squad, a Varsity man will be assigned to help coach the team which represents his class. Any man who has had any experience at all in play, should be requested to report, as the coaches realize that there is some good material in school that did not come out for the Varsity. The success of the Varsity this year is directly attributed to the inter-class games of last season.
The concludes for the teams are as follows, Price for the seniors, Brownlee for the juniors, Davis for the sophomores, and Weidline for the freshmen. No man who played in the Nebraska or Missouri games will be allowed to compete in the class games. None of the freshmen who made the regular squad will be eligible to compete in the games. The games this year should prove more interesting than ever before as a larger number of players were out for the Varsity and also because the players were more divided among the different classes than usual.
A soccer tournament will be staged the same day as the inter-class football tournament. None of the soccer tournaments are free. *Playing in the soccer inter-class games.*
The first game will be held one week from Tuesday and the final, the following Saturday. Two games every afternoon during the week.
First Call for Suits.

All men who have football suits and are not going to play in the inter-class games, please check in at once at McCook field.

FORWARD PASSSES BADLY NEGLECTED
Gridiron Authorities Discount aged by Poor Showing of Their Favorite Play
The pace was very stiff from the start and the nine entries kept fairly well bunched until about a mile from the finish, when Capt. Patterson closed the gap between himself and the K. C. A. C. entries, who had been setting the pace and took the lead. He finished the race in good shape and had a half a block lead over the entire field.
The Jayhawker cross-country aggregation composed of five entries journeyed to Kansas City, Thursday morning and tied a knot in the K. C. A. C. cross-country team. The Kansasans had the race all to themselves, only one Kansas City entry finishing.
Capt. O. W. Patterson won the race while W. J. Malcomson and Ray Edwards finished second and third respectively. The run started at the K. C. A. C. athletic field and ended at the club house down town. The winner finished in 27 minutes, 9-25 seconds, this time being two-fifths of a second better than the time a year ago.
Captain Patterson, Edwards and Malcolmson Take First Second and Third
JAYHAWKER TEAM
WINS K.C.A.C. RUN
Eastern exponents of the forward pass style of game were greatly discouraged by the showing of this department the past season. Very few successful passes were made in the eastern games and Navy frances, and Navy frecasses, were attributed to straight style football and mass plays.
Many of the authorities expected that the forward pass would play a very important part in the offense of the majority of the winning teams, and for that reason strengthened the efficiency of the pass in every possible way. This was not the case and with only a few exceptions, the teams depended on straight football and mass plays, and only used an occasional pass, or opened up as a last resort.
In the west this, was usually the case, and in the majority of the games the losing team would open up a series of passes as a last sort to win. An example of this was when Missouri tried to penetrate the Kansas offense in the last few outs by open play.
Whether anything will be done to change this condition will be one of the things for the rules committee to decide. Many of the coaches attributed their neglect of the forward pass to the inefficiency and in experience of their players.
VARSITY PUGILISTS TO DON THE PADDED MITTS
Gong Rings Tomorrow Afternoon fo First Round of Fistic Instruction Under Coach Frank.
Now that the football season is over classes in boxing, under the direction of Coach Frank, will start at once, and the sounds of dull sickening thuds will resound from room 202 of Robinson gymnasium on Friday, 13:30 o'clock until the shades of night are pulled down upon the slaughter.
According to Coach Frank over seventy men are already signed up for the course in boxing, and black eyes and bloody noses will be in style from now on. The boxers will be divided into light, middle and heavy weight classes. Gym credit will be given to sophomores for the work. An attempt will be made to give similar credit to freshmen.
Classes in wrestling will also be started next week, on Monday and Wednesday in the wrestling room on the second floor of the gym. Last year K. U. wrestlers met the K. C. A. c mat artists, but failed to enter the valley wrestling conference owing to lack of material and training. Coach Frank will endeavor to turn out a team to compete with the conference teams when the wrestling bugs go' busy next January.
The Mill Tax as a Basis for a Permanent Income for All of the State Educational Institutions
A good thing for the University. A good thing for the other institutions. A good thing for the state and the taxpayers. A relief to the legislature.
Mill Tax Would Benefit University. It would ensure a more healthy growth of the University, because normal growth in an educational institution is possible only when plans providing for such growth can be made, extending over a number of years.
It would make it less easy for other universities to take some of the best teachers from Kansas, as they have been doing, because of the greater permanence of these universities in the matter of income, and the greater certainty with which their teachers can depend on the continuance of their work.
It would make it possible to take better care of the details of the University administration. Under the present system the University budget for the 'expenditures in June, 1915, must be compiled in September 1912, almost three years ahead. With a permanent income each year would be provided for as occasion required and the administration would know definitely what to count on.
It would save the time of administrative heads and members of the faculty who are compelled by their duty to the interests intrusted to them by the state to go to Topeka and exert their efforts to have these interests understood by the legislature, in order to prevent the doing of some serious injury to some branch of the educational or state service work through oversight or lack of knowledge.
It would relieve administrative heads from the humiliation of being criticised for attending committee sessions at the legislature and doing the necessary legislative work to which their devotions and duty to their institutions obligates them.
It would put Kansas among the states which have already given their educational institutions the advantage of permanent incomes by fixed tax: Iowa, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Colorado, California, Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska, and others.
It would remove all temptation from educational institutions to save their interests by resorting to political methods. No state institution would ever be drawn into politics.
It would put the maintenance of the University, the Agricultural College and the State Normal Schools on a permanent basis, removing them from the danger of having their revenues curtailed by caprice or financial depression, and enabling the governing boards to pursue a definite business-like policy.
It would deliver the University from an especially heavy handicap of having only $7200 in permanent income (Interest in its land fund)—a handicap from which the other two state educational institutions suffer; but in a much less degree.
It would insure the gradual and proportionate increase of the revenues for education as the value of the property in the state increases, providing automatically the larger means of meeting growing needs.
It would emphasize the insignificance of the cost of education to each individual taxpayer. If he pays taxes on a valuation of $10,000 the mill tax would cost him $10. Would any man question that the presence in the state of three educational institutions, doing an immense amount of state service work, adds not one but many to the value of each thousand dollars worth *£* property that he possesses?
TWO MORE CLUBS ARE ADDED TO THE DECK
It Would be a Relief to Legislature. It would relieve the legislator from the responsibility of the present large total of appropriations, removing from his shoulders the burden of the entire educational budget of the state. It would also relieve him from the well-meant but sometimes overzealous importunities of the advocates of the various institutions.
It would be to the advantage of the taxpayers because it would insure their getting the greatest possible efficiency out of the state schools, the greatest possible value for students with fixed and permanent income can an educational institution do its best work.
It would result in a more economic administration of the educational institutions because system based on a stable and calculable income always means economy.
It would save the time of legislators who are now compelled to study the intricacies of appropriation bills while occupied with scores of other legislative matters. To understand thoroughly the details of the University appropriation bill alone would require all the time that the ordinary legislator can devote to the duties of the legislative session.
It Would Benefit The State.
By eliminating competition in the procuring of appropriations it would make toward a better co-operation among the various schools, and a consequent increase of efficiency and value to the state.

Cowley and Butler Students Form Organizations and Will Have Announcements read in Chapel
The income of the University and other institutions can be made permanent only by constitutional amendment.
The matter must first be presented to the legislature in order that it may be by them submitted to a vote. If the people at the following general assembly appear on the ballot as a proposed amendment to the state constitution.
A Butler County club has been organized with the following officers: Roy Springer, president; Milton Minor, vice-president; Clio Overman, secretary and treasurer. The next meeting of the organization will be held December 12th.
The first step, then, is to prevail on the legislature to give the people a chance to vote on this measure of government because it has educational interests of the state.
The club, with a membership of thirty-five students, is planning for further meetings with a view toward rousing interest in the University in Cowley county.
At a meeting held Friday afternoon, the students from Cowley county organized a Cowley county club nud elected the following officers: President, Arthur L. Crookham; vice-president, John Probst; secretary, Mable F. Woods; treasurer, Harold A. Truesdell; publicity agent, Jesse Derby.
HERE'S WHY LAWRENCE
HACKS ARE SO CHILLY
Ever notice that cab in front of the Chem. lab. on Friday afternoons and envy the prof, who could afford to have a cab wait for him till his 2:30 class was dismissed to take him to his train?
Well, you had better hesitate and think it over. The occupant of that cab when it leaves for the station has a body temperature of just 338 degrees below freezing on the Fahrenhite scale.
And furthermore, any one who should heave a brick through the window at said occupant would probably be the next victim of W. J. Burns and his accomplices on a dynamite charge, for such an action would raise both the cab and driver several vards above their ordinary altitude.
The occupant of that cab is no other than a jar of liquid air, manufactured by the diplices of Professor Cady each week and shipped away. The product is obtained from the product, a cab is used to take it to the express office.

IT'S TIME TO GET EXTREMELY BUSY
Those Thirteen Days May Prove a Hoodoo to the Unwary
EVEN MINUTES ARE NUMBERED
Thirteen more days—beg your parndon, we forgot you were superstitious—ninety-one hours, then (that is college hours), or fifty-four hundred and sixty minutes from noon today, and the whistle releases you for seventeen days of loafing. You'll then have four full days to think why you didn't bring her a ten pound box instead of a three-quarters size, and to explain to dad that you'd like to take back the telegram you sent on November fifteenth saying you'd rather have a ticket to Lincoln now than a gift from Santa Claus six weeks later.
But Think of Those Seventeen Mornings When You Can Forget the Alarm Clock.
And when you get home just bear in mind that if you sleep all day Sundays it'll be only fifteen of the days you're awake till the whistle will arouse you at t:30 for a dozen and a half day's run till semester exams. $18+13=31$, or the number of college days till exams begin.
After the exams it will be approximately five and a half weeks till Easter and after Easter ten weeks till final begin. There will be three holidays during the second semester besides the Easter recess—Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays and Memorial Day.
PROMINENT JUDGES SPEAK HERE FRIDAY
Justices Pinkney and Winslow to Adress Three Charitable Societies
Judge Merritt W. Pinkney will speak on "The Juvenile Court and Dependent Children of Chicago." Judge Pinkney is in charge of the juvenile court of Cook county, Illinois. He will speak later upon that of the Penman Law, a topic that is being widely discussed at this time.
Judge John B. Winslow, chief justice of the supreme court of Wisconsin, is listed among the speakers to appear during the joint conventions to be held in Snow hall this week.
Judge Winslow is noted for the efforts he has made to raise his court from a machine, to a court of justice. His subject will be "A Judicial Recall That Failed." His talk will not be a mere technical discussion of the judicial field of securing improvements to meet the present day conditions.
“Everything is coming along in good shape,” is the way Manager Cain expresses himself in regard to the annual Masque club production which is to be staged the 17th and 18th of this month.

SPAIN IS IGNORED,
SAYS PROF. OWEN
Romance Language Instructor Declares that Dons are Most Progressive
"I believe that Spain is more grossly ignored and more grossly misrepresented by Americans than any other nation of Europe," declared Prof. A. L. Owen in speaking of that country in chapel this morning, "and yet, contrary to the general opinion, it is one of the most progressive of European nations in many respects.
"Not long ago I heard a University professor say that the study of the Spanish language was not a part of an education, but I am glad to say that he was behind the times. The language and literature of sixty millions of civilized Christians should eighty be and is fast coming to be an object of an election. Spanish literature is one of theophlist known to man."
Professor Owen said that the fact that we got our informatim about Spain through England accounted for the prejudices we hold, because the prolonged religious antagonism between the two nations has produced an ill feeling that time has never altogether effaced.
The King of Spain has been aided by a progressive parliament in encouraging foreigners to visit there. Professor Owen said, "A few years ago a custom law was passed by which foreign baggage was not to be inspected or taxed upon the statement of the owner that it contained nothing that was not for his own use.
"In 1910 the first 'student residence', corresponding to oru fraternities, was established at the University of Madrid with seventeen colleges. It now has fifty members, owns its own house, and a good athletic field.
"Spain is one of the few countries on the continent possessing a woman's college. One was started in 1880 by the wife of a missionary and it now has an enrollment of several hundred young women from Spain and many other countries, and is equipped with a splendid-five-story building, containing complete and up-to-date laboratory equipment in biological and physical sciences as well as domestic art.
CLUB OF CLUBS WILL ORGANIZE TONIGHT
Representatives of All Kansas County Societies Will Meet in Fraser Hall to Draw up Platform.
The Confederation of County Clubs will meet this afternoon at 4:30 in room 116 Fraser. This meeting is of great importance and all the counties should have their representatives there.
By this time all counties are supposed to be organized and at the meeting today representatives will formulate plans whereby the united efforts of the counties can be concentrated on the problem of the mill tax which is of vital importance to the University.
At a meeting November 19 the Confederation was organized, officers were elected and plans discussed to begin active work in the counties in the interests of the University. Over forty counties had been organized up to that time and were represented by their presidents and secretaries while others had representatives there also.

WUXTRY! SUB-FRESHMAN QUALIFIES FOR SOB-SQUAD
(Monday, November 25, was a holiday for University students, but not for the Oread high school. Here is what a student in an Oread rhetoric class wrote as his theme for that day!)
OO! !—OO! —O! O! O!—Oread!
Oread! Oread!
Up, up from the frosty, dun-hazed up of Mount Oread, where the early morning mists of the day after the day after the day the Tiger's tailpiece was twelve times knotted on the wind-blowed sod of banner-decked, yell-chanked McCook field, a lonesome water flaited out in long, piercing, heart-bursting accents of anguish. Against the speechless walls of the museum it wandered and was lost; toward the immobile face of the rock, down the bleak, chilled road in front of a deserted law building,—aye, even unto the tall sentinel chimney of the heating plant that no longer vomited off great goo-ey wreathes of Weir City slack smoke, it (the wall) staggered, painfully rose again, again stumbled, and with one final laugh, strongly suggestive of midnight sons, sank down and was
But in front of Myers hall, reluctant, indignant, resentful, with the taste of burnt omeal strong on their tongues, a little band of patriots stood, wavered, and slowly melted into the arched entrance.
Again a lonesome wail came, like a faint whisper. "Oread," it said, and echo silenced it in its clammy November clasp.
again lost. A painful silence fell all and was shattered into a thousand shimmering fragments. In the trees she wrestled; he grappled; the trees wept; it was raining.
Monday morning it was, and high onto the cold, breakfastless hour of eight; but the cement walks along Oread avenue did not creak under the footsteps of a hurrying throng. From vacant eyes, bleary from a week of excitement, the windows of Fraser looked down on a deserted campus. Not a sound sounded on the hill; a dullness suggestive of the day after the day after the day after a great celebration enveloped all in its sable robes—muffled it, to be up-to-date.
It was Monday, the 25th. There was no school on the hill; but there was school at the Oread high school.

Lack of funds is the reason given out today by Prof. Richard R. Price for the postponement of the National Social Center Association congress till January 22 and probably not until February 12.
"It was thought some time ago that the necessary financial support had been secured, but recently some of the backers withdrew their support," said Professor Price this morning.
"I discussed the situation with Frank P. Walsh, Chas. M. Sumner, and Chas. H. Talbot in Kansas City Saturday and we decided that the team he held before the last of January and probably not till February 22."
Harvey County Club to meet The Harvey County K. U. club will meet Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock at the home of Professor Baumgartner, 1209 Ohio street. Every member is urged to be present.
Owing to the indefinite postponement of the congress, it has been found impossible to arrange a definite program. It is estimated that between 400 and 500 delegates will be present at the meeting.
Seven University artists will appear on the program at the Kansas State Music Teachers' Convention held at Manhattan December 5 and 6.
UNIVERSITY ARTISTS TO PLAY AT CONVENTION
At the concert of Kansas composers, Prof. C. A. Prayer will play three piano compositions, Dean Skilton one organ composition, and with Prof. Wort Morse he will play his composition for piano and violin.
The Literary staff of the Annual Board will meet Wednesday night.
Professor Hubach will sing at chapel at K. S. A. C. Thursday morning and at the evening concert Thursday evening. Miss Sweeney and Miss Cook will be the other artists to take part in the program.

The game is won, and so's the mon, vacation time is past, and 'een the Turk has quit his work and gone to rest at last. Now comes the time when we look back, and ponder on the scores, and wonder how the Heck we came $\circ$ waddle back to shore.

All honor to Coach Moses I say, all honor to the team, but you'll confess we ate 'em up with Minnesota steam. The All-Missouri Valley队 is doped by every gink, with nerve enough to brave the strong and brains enough to think, but there's a silent member of that team of fancied might, and that we should "Give it to him," is no more than or just right.
As soon as an instructor finds that he must condition or fail a student, he will at once send a red card to the dean's office. This will be recorded and when the student enrolls for the next term his class adviser will have conditions on the student's transcript, and can direct him properly.
At the present time the record of failures and conditions is not sent in until the report of the instructor is made. It passes through the registers of the computer, more elapsed before the point is reached where action can be taken.
CADY STILL HAS BEST
OF BOREASE AND PLUVIUS
Only Two Earthquakes Recorded in November Owing to Seismograph's Indisposition on the 23rd.
The weather man was extraordinarily good to us last month according to Prof. H. P. Cady, who yesterday statistics for the month just ended.
Perhaps it was a case of tempering the wind to the shorn lamb, said unfortunate being the battered Jayhawk during the first of the month and the slinking Tiger in the latter portion. At any rate the mean temperature in the summer is 9 degrees above the average for preceding years on record.
Also those of us who were ashamed to wear our jaded raincoats were equally blessed; for the raincoat was a fine garment, average, just 1.23 inches, to be exerted.
The total run of wind was 9,893 miles which is 1,094 below the November average.
Two earthquakes were recorded during the month, on November 6 and 19.
OLD GRAD TO HELP FIGHT
PLAGUE IN CONSTANTINOPLI
Dr Andrew W. Sellards, '04, one of the resident physicians of the John Hopkins hospital, has been selected by the American Red Cross to go to Constantinople to study and aid in the fight against the Asiatic cholera.
The proposition was referred to the medical committee for the selection of a physician. After several names had been proposed that of Dr. Sellars was selected. The committee decided to remain in this work and since Dr. Sellars is an authority on the subject, he was chosen.
The proposition met with Dr. Sellards' approval and all arrangements have been made for the trip. As soon as word from Ambassador Rockhill, who is stationed in Constantinople, is received the doctor will leave for Turkey.
SOUVERIN CALENDARS ARE

Fort Scott Editor Appointed by Stubbs to Replace Fmporia Journalist
WHITE HAS TOO MUCH WORK
New Member of Board Has Risen Rapidly From Reporter to Present Important Position.
William Allen White resigned yesterday as a member of the Board of Regents of the University, and George W. Marble, of Ft. Scott, was appointed by Governor Stubbs to fill the vacancy.
Mr. White's successor is the publisher of the Ft. Scott Tribune, a man who has long shown great interest in music and literature. Titled to step into the work at once.
Pressure of business and politics is given as the reason for Mr. White's resignation. Finding it impossible to give enough of his time to the business of being a reagent of the University, Mr. White requested that he be excused and his resignation was accordingly accepted.
Excepting Hopkins, White was the senior member of the Board of Regents and during his incumbency of 7
years has exerted his influence and given valuable time to further the best interests of the University in every way possible. As a member of the Committee on Efficiency of the board of higher education he
selped draft the report made to Governor Stubbs on the institutions of higher learning in Kansas in which it was shown that Kansas is paying less for students is young men and women than other states pay in similar institutions.
At one time a student of the University, he has become one of its most noted and honored alumni. He did his first newspaper work at the University and on Lawrence papers and edited the Kansas annual one volume "Volubility" of other alumnus of the University has done as much for his Alma Mater as he has, and for that reason his loss to the school will be felt.
FACULTY CHANGES LANGUAGE ENTRANCE
Five Languages Instead of Two Will Now Be Accepted Here
That proposed change in entrance requirements to the College was adopted by the faculty at its regular meeting last night. The recommendations of the committee were approved intact. The greatest change is in the matter of language requirements, five languages being accredited now instead of Latin and German as formerly. Three units from the miscellaneous group may now be offered instead of but one.
"Fifteen units are required for admission as at present," said Dean Olin Templin this morning. "However, any graduate of a high school, properly recommended, who has fifteen accredited units will be admitted without condition, but must make up group deficiencies after admission.
"In foreign languages the student may hereafter offer for admission two units of one language and one of another. Greek, Latin German, French, and both be required. Formerly three units of either Latin or German were required.
"Three units from the miscellaneous group may be offered. The old rule was that but one unit from this group could be offered."
The entrance requirements in the other groups are not changed In English three units are required; in mathematics, 24%; in physical science, biological science, and history, one unit each.

Gold is tested by fire; man, by gold—From the Chinese.
COURTESY
The part of host is a trying one under any circumstances and much more so under conditions of high tension and enthusiasm. Several thousand visitors were entertained last Saturday and all agreed that their treatment was all that could be desired. Even the disconsolete Missourians praised the spirit of sportsmanship shown by their Jay-hawker hosts.
In former times it was a brave man who dared separate himself from his comrades when invading a hostile football camp. Many times the fights-off the gridiron were much bloodier than the battles between the teams. Baker will corroborate this statement.
The spirit of friendliness and sportsmanship shown by Kansas this year and by Missouri last year is to be commended. It marks the passing of the old wringlings and bickerings and sometimes even worse that have marred such occasions in the past.
How's this? A student was gazing at the pennants in a downtown store the other day when he noticed a large pennant of a popular brand of chocolates. "Why," he exclaimed, "that must be a colored school."
The Daily Kansan regrets to announce to its readers the resignation of Wayne Wingart from the position of managing editor. Tryouts for the position are being held now.
IN TOUCH WITH HOME.
Students, busy with many things are wont to neglect their correspondence to the folks at home to so great an extent that it is little wonder that some parents hesitate to allow their boys and girls to enter the University. This neglect is noticeable especially among the upper classmen who seem to find it difficult to get the time, or something to write about.
Yet everyone knows that the upper per classmen are more likely to have time than the freshmen, as the latter rarely get their work systematized before the end of the second semester, and there are many things to distract the first year men. Of course the upper classmen belong to more societies usually, and are compelled to spend more time in a social way, but to lag behind in the matter of a letter home every once in a while seems unpardonable.
Ten minutes once a week would suffice for the actual amount of time necessary for a letter, and would go a long way toward making those at home feel that you are not growing away from them entirely. Of course if you have no interest in the old town except to keep father posted on the day the remittance is due, this advice wasted. If, however, you would do the right thing, you would keep the whole family posted on you and your affairs at the University by writing to each member a letter every week.
Try it for a while and see if it is appreciated.
The P. C. has balked again. But there is no cause for complaint, as the clock in the library is still on the job.
A news story has it that forward passes are badly neglected. The trouble may lie in the fact that the defensive team rarely does neglect them. Witness a touchdown by one Howard, of Nebraska.
VACATIONS.
Vacations are short intervals that come too seldom for the student to realize that they are come until they are gone. Professors take a keen delight in vacations. It affords them time to prepare terrible quizzes for just after they are over, quizzes that no student can look at unfinchingly.
And aside from affording the faculty an opportunity to prepare these quizzes, vacations give the students ample leisure to study for them, and catch up in the courses in which they are lagging. All of which is easily explained, and very simple.
The wonder is this, and it leaves no room for doubt that the faculty has a keeper understanding than the students: Why can't the latter understand such a simple thing as a vacation as the former does?
The hardest worker on earth has been discovered. Contrary to our ideas concerning the matter, the person is not an editor of a college paper.
When a student assembly scheme is adopted, what a paradise it will be for chapel daters.
THERE ARE OTHERS.
Any one who has walked up the "hill" between classes could not help realizing that the sidewalks are hopelessly inadequate for accommodating the great number of students who now attend the university. Not only are the walks overcrowded, but many students unwilling to push their way through the mass, walk on the grass—or where the grass was—thus doing much to destroy the beauty of the campaise. When Dr. Drechler of Berlin, Germany was visiting the university, the knack was in his ability to university of Wisconsin had a campus as beautiful as it would be in case the present paths worn across its surface were obliterated, the Doctor could have said that our campus was the most beautiful he had ever seen. At any rate, one of the greatest factors in destroying the beauty of the upper campus is found in the long strips of bare earth which parallel the sidewalks.
When those sidewalks were built, the University of Wisconsin was much smaller than it now is. If the men who planned those walks had any idea of the greatness which our university would attain, they made no provision for the increase in attendance; but as is usual with such undertakings, they undoubtedly went ahead without thought for the future, which was left to take care of itself. Up to the present time, the future has not done very much in improving upon the inadequate accesses constructed by the past; and, as a result those who are in a hurry to go up or down the hill are compelled either to fight their way through a closely packed moving mass of people or to get off the sidewalks and travel on the grass. As she has outgrown many other things, so the University of Wisconsin has outgrown these narrow sidewalks, which, by the way, are badly cracked and poorly drained. Can we not have some new and adequate walk's?—Wisconsin Daily Cardinal.

The Y. M. C. A. handbook gives the date for the beginning of classes after the Christmas holidays at January 7, Tuesday. Probably there are many students, like the writer, living on branch railroads that do not run on Sunday who cherished the fond hope that they could be at home over Sunday, Jan. 5, without incurring the wrath of their instructors by cutting classes Monday. When the writer went to the proper authorities for corroboration, that is, in the hopes of corrobiation, he found that the question is unanswered. Now why did not the University Council give us that Monday? Holidays are granted on various other occasions not so important, it seems to the writer, as this. Please think about it, O University Council, and you students who are concerned, how nice it would be.

PROF. WALKER ISSUES A GAS STATEMENT
Fields
Shows Trouble With Gas Supply From Oklahoma
To remedy the gas situation another full equipped pumping station will have to be put in the Oklahoma gas fields, according to Prof. P. F. Walker. Professor Walker makes the following statement regarding the situation:
As to the natural gas supply, the problem at the present time is one of transmission, not of the amount available in Oklahoma. It depends upon the pipe line and the compressors used in driving the gas through the pipes. A year ago the compressors in the southernmost station near Independence were of ample capacity to keep the lines northward at their full limit of transmitting capacity, including the relay or step-up stations at Petrolia and Scipio, although this was enough to supply only about 80 per cent of the maximum demand in cold weather. During last winter, however, the pressure of the gas fell at the wells and in the supply lines leading to that first station, which cut down the efficiency of those compressors to such an extent that they could no longer handle the full amount of gas.
Another Station Needed.
To remedy the situation would have required the equipping of another full capacity station in Oklahoma and the laying of many miles of full size pipe lines, meaning the expenditure of three or four millions of dollars. Because of the probable short life of any gas field, this investment would have to pay over 30 per cent above operating expense in order to meet the degree of depreciation incurred from interest, and no such returns were in sight. No reasonable man would risk his money in such a place.
What was done was to move the Scipio station into the Oklahoma field. Taking out that station reduces the pipe line capacity, leading to all this northern section, to about 90 per cent of the former capacity, or to 72 per cent of the maximum demand, although it must be understood that this maximum is an estimated quantity based on the number of users of gas last year. In order that the present line may be worked to its full capacity I understand that the extension into the Glenn Pod district north of Tulsa will be completed, with a matter of weeks Reports of plenty of gas in more distant fields are of no real significance now, because the pressure drops as it flows through long pipes and great expense will be incurred in opening up these regions. Incidentally it may be remarked that gas under a fair natural pressure is cheaper than air at atmospheric pressure, so people need not fear as to air in the pipe lines.
As before stated it is a question tance for 25 cent gas has been reached and to make further extensions it is practically certain that the price must go up. This should bring the demand down to the line capacity.
Will Cost Much Money.
As to gas meters, I wish it understood that I do not say that all are correct. What I do is say that if a meter of any of the usual types has been adjusted properly before being set in the line, its accuracy is not better than when they were adjusted meters do show errors of 3 or 4 per cent when the gas is flowing through them faster than when they were adjusted for accuracy. This error of
ten accompanies low pressure but it is not caused by it. The real conclusion is that accuracy depends upon the ability and disposition of the supplying gas company to test and adjust its meters, and not upon the maintenance of pressure. A adequacy of service is a question entirely distinct from this. P. F. WALKER.

NEBRASKA NOT ON BASKETBALL LIST
Management Will Not Play Cornhuskers This Season If Avoidable
Nebraska will not be on the Jayhawkier basketball-ball schedule. This is the official statement of Manager Hamilton in regard to the scheduling of this year's contests for the Kansas basket tossers.
The schedule has not all been made out but it is certain no game will be scheduled with the Cornhuskers unless perchance the Stiehm prodigies should win the championship of the northern division. In that case Kansas, if victor in the southern division of the conference, will probably play a post-season series to settle the championship.
For this reason Coach Hamilton will schedule no game unless positively necessary as Kansas does not wish to have any such trouble as occurred last year. In place of the Nebraska games Kansas may play Ames or some of the other members
The trouble all dates back to last year's squabble when Coach Stiehm refused to let his men play a post season series because the Easter vacation had begun and other obvious reasons. As a result last season's championship was never decided.

MATERIAL NEXT YEAR WILL BE ABOVE PAR
Every Varsity Man Back But Captain Brownlee and Price
THE KICKING WILL BE STRONG
Two Place Kickers and Drop Kicker
—Freshmen Dope to Make Varsity Fight for Place.
"Prospects for a winning team next season are the greatest ever," is the way Coach Mosee puts it when discussing next year's football prospects.
And there is every reason for this feeling of confidence in the Jayhawk mentor for the material judging from the present standpoint, promises to be far above par. But two men of equal square are certain of being missed, the ones are and Captain Brownlee, the ends of this year's aggregation.
One trouble with the team's playing this season was the inexperience of the players but all this will be different next season as all of the men will have the advantage of this year's grind and with the addition of this experience their playing should be improved at least fifty per cent.
The kicking department will not only be trained per cent stronger but in addition it will be more contestants for the honors. In the punting department the rivalry will be between Dalton, a consistent punter of the freshmen squad, and Wilson of the Varsity. For field goal work Kanaus will have two good place kickers and a drop kicker, who may prove a find. The place kickers are Weidline and Dalton. Weidline's ability is known and Dalton has been consistently kicking the ball over the bar all season for the Bond recruits. The drop kicker that dopers are pulling for it is Sproull a sophomore, who intends to come out next year. In practice this toe expert is able to consistently boot the ball over the bars by the drop kick route from the forty yard line.
Fight in Line for Pieces.
In the freshmen line are a number of stars who are weighty and fast and will make the Varsity men work to hold their places next year. At end, Reber, Braden and Cappa are doped to give a struggle for these berths on the Varsity. At center Hammond has shown well and for tackles Coach Bond is pulling for Burton and James, both of whom are fast heavy men.
Good Back Field Material.
Good Back Field Material.
The back field fight will also be a big struggle for positions. All the Vaishnavis in this region there will be the Bond recruits Dalton, Bottomly, Bishop, and Russell.
So it all points to another tail twisting next year about the same time as the last one and the Tiger to again postpone his revenge.

It would save the time of administrative heads and members of the faculty who are compelled by their duty to the interests intrusted to them by the state to go to Topeka and exert their efforts to have these interests understood by the legislature, in order to prevent the doing of some serious injury to some branch of the educational or state service work through oversight or lack of knowledge.
The Mill Tax as a Basis for a Permanent Income for All of the State Educational Institutions
A good thing for the University. A good thing for the other institutions. A good thing for the state and the taxpayers. A relief to the legislature.
It would make it possible to take better care of the details of the University administration. Under the present system the University budget for the expenditures in June, 1915, must be compiled in September 1912—almost three years ahead. With a permanent income each year would be provided for as occasion required and the administration would know definitely what to count on.
It would relieve administrative heads from the humiliation of being criticised for attending committee sessions at the legislature and doing the necessary legislative work to which their devitions and duty to their institutions obligates them.
Mill Tax Would Benefit University. It would ensure a more healthy growth of the University, because normal growth in an educational institution is possible only when plans providing for such growth can be made, extending over a number of years.
It would put Kansas among the states which have already given their educational institutions the advantage of permanent incomes by fixed tax: Iowa, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Colorado, California, Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska, and others.
It would make it less easy for other universities to take some of the best teachers from Kansas, as they have been doing, because of the greater permanence of these universities in the matter of income, and the greater certainty with which their teachers can depend on the continuance of their work.
It would remove all temptation from educational institutions to save their interests by resorting to political methods. No state institution would ever be drawn into politics.
It would deliver the University from an especially heavy handicap of having only $7200 in permanent income (Interest in its land fund)—a handicap from which the other two state educational institutions suffer, but in a much less degree.
It would insure the gradual and proportionate increase of the revenues for education as the value of the property in the state increases, providing automatically the larger means of meeting growing needs.
It would emphasize the insignificance of the cost of education to each individual taxpayer. If he pays taxes on a valuation of $10,000 the mill tax would cost him $10. Would any man question that the presence in the state of three educational institutions, doing an immense amount of state service work, add not one but many to the value of each thousand dollars worth of property that he possesses?
It Would be a Relief to Legislature It would relieve the legislator from the responsibility of the present large total of appropriations, removing from his shoulders the burden of the entire educational budget of the state. It would also relieve him from the well-meant but sometimes overzealous importunities of the advocates of the various institutions.
It would save the time of legislators who are now compelled to study the intricacies of appropriation bills while occupied with scores of other legislative matters. To understand thoroughly the details of the University appropriation bill alone would require all the time that the ordinary legislator can devote to the duties of the legislative session.
It Would Benefit The State.
By eliminating competition in the procuring of appropriations it would make toward a better co-operation among the various schools, and a consequent increase of efficiency and value to the state.
It would result in a more economic administration of the educational institutions because system based on a stable and calculable income always means economy.
It would be to the advantage of the taxpayers because it would insure their getting the greatest possible efficiency out of the state schools, the greatest possible value for students with fixed and permanent income can an educational institution do its best work.
How The Mill Tax May be Secured
The income of the University and other institutions can be made permanent only by constitutional amendment.
The matter must first be presented to the legislature in order that it may be by them submitted to a vote of the people at the following general election. It will then appear on the ballot as a proposed amendment to the state constitution.
The first step, then, is to prevail on the legislature to give the people a chance to vote on this measure of such importance because educa- interests of the state.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON DECEMBER 4 1919
NUMBER 55.
DISTINGUISHED MEN
COMING TOMORROW
Legal Associations Will Convene Here for Three Day's Session
100 DELEGATES EXPECTED
Recall of Judges and Mothers' Pension Law of Illinois to be Discussed in Meetings.
The University will have as its guests Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of this week at least one hundred of the most distinguished men of the state. They will be here to teach you how to conduct the Kansas State Society of Criminology, the Kansas Conference of Charities and Corrections, and the Association of Probate Judges.
"Two of these societies are naturally small in numbers," said Professor Higgins this morning. "The Society of Criminal Law and Criminality can do its best work with small numbers, and quality is of much greater importance than quantity in its deliberations. The Association of Probate Jurists is also interested in the conference, which will be interested in the Conference of Charities and Corrections and it is larger than the other meetings.
"These conferences, however, by their very nature will bring together a number of the most distinguished men of the state, and we expect at least one hundred, and probably many more will be present.
Two men are of national reputation. Judge John B. Winslow, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Wisconsin, will speak on "A Recall That Failed;" and Judge Merritt W. Cook, of the Juvenile Court of Chicago, will give two addresses. One of these, "The Funds to Parents Act of Illinois" (the Mothers' Pension Law), is of special interest. Illinois now gives a pension to worthy mothers who are unable to support their children, instead of sending the children to a state institution.
The first session will meet, according to the program, in snow hall Thursday evening. From seven to eight will be spent in registering in order that arrangements may be made for the expedition work of the several organizations. Starting at eight o'clock the three societies will hold a joint session, with Chancellor Frank Strong presiding. Addresses will be given by Sunny Surrey president of the Kansas Conference of Charities and Corrections, udge Roy T. Osborne, president of the Association of Probate Judges; and Judge C. A. Smart, president of the Kansas State Society of Criminal Law and Criminology.
The sessions of these meetings will be held in Green hall, Snow hall, and possibly some of the night sessions will be held in chapel.
MARION GREEN IN RECITAL
TONIGHT AT FRASER HALL
Noted Baritone Will Render Varied Program Including Selections From Haydn, Verdi, Handel
Marion Green, baritone, who gives a song recital tonight in Fraser hall, is one of the leading concert singers of the country. He visited Lawrence about a year ago and was the star attraction at the meeting of the State Music Teachers' Association at that time.
Mr. Green will render the following program:
Recit, And God Said, Let The Water; Aria, Rolling in Foaming Billows, (Crasation), Haydn; Aria, Bercusee (Louise), Charpentier; Recit, Thus Saithe Lord, (Messiah), Moonlight Night, Hermann; Madrigale, Florida; She Rested By The Broken Brook (Request), Coleridge-Taylor, Auvergnat, Goodhart; A Banjo Song, Homers; Pom Porter, Romans; An Island Sheilling Song, (Songs of the Heribries), Kennedy-Fraser; Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes, Old English; When I Was a Page (Falstaff), (Request), Verdi; Killie Krankie, (Request), Turvey; Farewell (Old Scotch), Fisher.
Wonder His Heart Wasn't Broken Too
Capt. Brownlee Had Most All the Rest of His Port Side Anatomy Pulverized.
"Football is a good game but it treated me in a strange way this season," complained Captain Brownlee today. "Whenever I was hurt at all it was on the left side of my body and if I ever play any more football it will be at left instead of right.
"In playing right end all the bumps came on the left side of my body," he explained, holding up his bandaged left hand in proof, "and now I'm through with the right side of the line."
Brownlee has not been hurt as much this year as many of the members of the team but whenever he was hurt it was on his sinister side. He had banged his hand, hurt a shoulder and received many hard bumps that caused little or no damage to him.
And all this happened to his left side.
SHARPHOOTERS MAY NOW
WIN MEDALS AS MARKSMEN
Bronze and Silver Trophies Will be Given for Excellence in Rifle Practice.
"Every good marksmans who competes in the rifle shooting that is held every Wednesday night and Saturday afternoon can win prizes for his skill in marksmanship," declared Prof. J. V. Redman, one of the executive committee of the Rifle Club.
According to the rules of the contests, every person who makes 80 points standing and 85 points prone will be entitled to a bronze medal made into a watch-fob. This will be presented by the National Rifle Association for expert shooting. The man who scores 90 points standing and 95 points prone is entitled to a bronze medal made into a watch fob. This also will be presented by the National Rifle Association for the best sharpshooter.
The fobs before mentioned will be presented to anyone who makes the required score for the first time, both to students and faculty mema morocco case will be given to the bers. A bronze medal enclosed in student who makes the highest score of the year in competition.
Intercollegiate matches from which the faculty is excluded will be shot off at an early time. "Students are showing unusually good form for so early in the season, shooting nearly in the form required to win the prizes," Captain Bennet said this morning.
SMOKER WEDNESDAY
Annual Affair Promises to be Larger than Ever
Miss Hazel Kelly, of Paola, has returned home after a short visit at the Pi Phi house.
There will be a big feed during the intermission. The stunts this year will be more varied and a big attendance should be assured. Last fall more than 400 tursits attended and this year it is expected that the number will reach eight hundred.
The football smoker is only a week off. Wednesday, December 11th, is the date set. The smoker will start at seven thirty p. m. and the price of admission is only fifty cents.
This Year
The program will consist of speeches by the Chancellor, "Uncle Jimmy" Green, and the football coaches, Mosse and Frank. The Pan-Hellenic council will put on a stunt as will the different student organizations of the University. The program will include musical, dramatic and athletic numbers. All of organizations who expect to take part in the entertainment are expected to hand in their part of the program to President Coats of the Student Council not later than next Monday.
Miss Renetta Garst, of Wichita will spend the week-end with Miss Hazel Butts, a senior in the College.
COUNTY CLUBS SHOW BUT SMALL INTEREST
More Work Necessary If We Are to Get That Appropriation
The students of the University do not seem to be interested in working for appropriations, or putting the University in close touch with every county, to judge from the attendance of the meeting of County Club presidents and secretaries in room 101, Fraser last night. A lonely little group of five or six braved it up the hill to talk over what they are going to do for the University while at home Christmas.
"This is the only student organization in the University that is working for the University interests throughout the state," said Marley Brown, president, today. "The Publicity and Extension departments, of course, are in this field, but students are not connected with these.
"The attitude over the state toward the University rests more with the students than anyone else. And if the students realized the great service this organization could be to University, they would work for it."
"We are striving to make the organization a permanent one, and it will probably be called the Central Organization instead of the Confederation of County Clubs. We will aid the students in helping the University at their homes, and endeavor to correct opinions over the state which tend to give the University a black eve."
"If every student would go home Christmas and use his personal influence for the University, our apologies down so they have been in the past."
The next meeting will probably be on Tuesday at 4:30. Notice will be given as to the place.
Right after board meeting he'd slip away to the gym, get the old janitor to unlock the pool for him, and in a few moments the porcelain walls of the pool would be splashed to the ceiling, while the green waters bobbed under the floor and the sight of a slightly gray-haired, dumpy figure that plumped into them with many wheezings and blowings.
"Watch me bring up mud," he'd shout; and he would have, too, if the bottom hadn't been of tile. "I've got everything—mud crawl, back stroke, tread water, and belly-buster. Whee!"
This boyishness "Bill" White has imitably shown in his sketches on "The Court of Boyville," where he pictures all the joys of a small boy, probably all his very own. At least, he must have often tasted the joys of the old swimming hole from personal experiences, for during his seven years regency at the University he was always an ardent and splashy visitor at the swimming pool.
"Bill" White has resigned as one of the regents of the University, so the headlines say. Too busy with politics, he says, to longer give the business of the University the time needed to do it justice. Sorry, but he had too.
Some odd bits of ancient history about "Bill" White as a student at the University in the '80s have recently come to light. According to his contemporaries he was the laziest and yet the best newspaper man in
P. S. B. WOULD ENTER THE STUDENT COUNCIL
FOR "BILL" WHITE IS ONE OF THOSE "REGULAR GUYS"
"Boundless enthusiasm, to the extent of recklessness, was his main characteristic while a student in the University," said Prof. W. Carruth, who was White's classmate in the early days. "He has lost some of his recklessness in his life, but otherwise he is still the big-hearted, jovial, easily-enthusiastic "Bill" White of his collage days."
To the Daily Kansan the mention of "Bill" White's name suggests many things, but perhaps the first thing is the fact that the man who put the "Aqua" in "Aqua Purp" and told how there was "no God of Newton" has not lost his greatest charm, his boyish enthusiasm.
Meeting Tuesday Morning to Vote on Admitting Graduate School
A mass meeting will be held after chapel by the men of the University Tuesday, Dec. 17th, to determine whether the Graduate School shall have a representative on the Student Council.
The article now reads: The Student Council shall be composed of members chosen by the male students of the different schools from their numbers, the following schools to be represented; the College, the School of Engineering, the School of Law, the School of Medicine, and the School of Pharmacy. Each school shall be represented by one member for each one hundred students, or major fraction thereof, but each school shall be entitled to at least one representative. In addition to the councilmen, there shall be a president, a vice president, and a secretary, elected at large by the students of the University.
The Graduate School has been trying to get admission to the Student Council for over two years. Enough pressure has finally been brought to bear on the council, so it will be taken on the amendment.
The amendment will read: The Graduate School should be included in the list of schools to have representatives.
CHRISTMAS TEA ALREADY
FOR UNIVERSITY WOMEN
The ladies of the faculty will give a Christmas tea tomorrow afternoon from 3 to 5:30 at Haworth hall for the young women of the University. The Christmas idea will be carried out in the decorations and serving.
the University. He could always be found at the down town newspaper office with his feet cocked up on somebody's table; but he got more news, and knew more about what was going on, than any other man on the paper.
Besides being lazy, White was as he himself admits, something of a "bone dome" as regards grades and Phi Beta Kappa scholarship while on the hill. According to his own story he never got above a "$" in all the time he was in college. In this connection it is interesting to note that in the spring of 1910 we gave the Phi Beta Kappa address to a bunch of highbrows at Columbia University, New York.
Triumphs he has had far beyond most Kansans, but in the estimation of one University professor, White never scored a more heroic triumph than he did when he finally learned to speak in public.
So we're rather fond of "Bill" White here around the University for a good many reasons. To us his name is another way of spelling "K-a-n-s-a-." We've played with his "King of Boyville," lived the boom days over again in his "Aqua Pura," and seen his first try at the new game of "clean politics" in his political sketches, "Stratragems and Evil Tales," that told "The Homecoming of Colonel Huck's" had made him better known in New York than he is in Kansas; but we would rather attribute his eastern acquaintanceship to his connection with the American Magazine.
"The first year he was a regent," says this professor, who was present, "White tried to speak one afternoon before the University Quill club, an undergraduate gathering of some twenty-five students interested in literary work. Never in my life have I seen anyone so badly stricken with stage fright. He was a wreck; he couldn't even stand; before he was through he simply had to sit down."
"Bill" White not known in Kansas? It's not so. There are too many descendants of Colonel Huck, especially around the state University, for "Bill" White to be unknown in Kansas.
And Now the P. C.

Weather Man Claims Niche in Hall of Fame by Equalling Timepiece's (?) Unreliability.
"Generally fair tonight and Wednesday ___."
The student who read that statement on the weather bulletin last night went to bed with visions of a bright, sunny day for the morrow.
He awoke this morning to a fog enveloped world, turned on the light in order to make the room seem warm and cheery while he dressed, and went out into a region so wet that the very air was saturated with moisture. On the campus the buildings, at a distance of fifty yards, loomed dim and indistinct through a curtain of fog. Fraser bulked up a gigantic mountain range, with two twin cloud-enveloped peaks rising high. Buildings farther away were lost in gloom.
"Generally fair tonight and Wednesday ___."
The student felt that he had been deceived. He started for the bulletin board in the Chem building to decipher the deceiver. Then he read again:
"Generally fair tonight and Wednesday, except unsettled east portion tonight; colder west portion tonight."
Elsewhere on the weather report he found this gem:
"A moderate barometric depression is centered around Winnepeg and a defied disturbance appears to be advancing from the North Pacific accompanied by rain in Oregan."
You can take that as you like, ane either lay out your lighter clothes or hasten down town to get your overcoat from pawn.

Prof. De la Marre of the University of the City of New York will lecture to the University Cercle Francae, January 24. He is now secretary of the Alliance Francaise an international organization of French universities lectures in all of the large colleges and universities in this country.
"While Prof. De la Marra is here," said Professor Neuenwander of the romance language department today, "the Cercles Francise of the University will probably join this larger organization. If it does, we will be from Paris who will visit our club. The French Clubs of the Universities in the east are all members of the Alliance Francise."

Gridiron Warriors Will Be Guests of Honor at Fraternal Aid Hall
The tenth annual Law Serim痕 will be held Friday evening, December 6, in Fraternal Aid hall. This is one of the two exclusive law functions of the school year and is given to the graduating seniors in honor of our football warriors.
Besides the football squad consisting of thirty-two men, the guests of honor will be the members of the faculty of the School of Law and their wives, Coach and Mrs. Mosso, Coach Frank, Manager, and the members of the supreme court of Kansas and their wives.
"The affair will be formal as in past years," said "Bob" Campbell, who is overseeing the plans for the Scrium, "but the taboo is placed on flowers and we are also discouraging the use of cabs.
"A five course dinner will be served during the evening. The decorations will be elaborate and all appropriate for the guests of honor."

Henry C. Anderson and Leon Howe Are Authors of This Year's
Production.
"The Red Rose Diamond" is the name of the musical comedy to be presented by the Red Domino Club this year. The book has been written by Henry C. Anderson, a Kansas City boy, and the music and lyrics by Leon Howe.
"The music is light and siir, and is 'raggy' enough to suit the most fastidious. The composer is an ex-
cellent player." And in several successes to his credit.
In speaking of plans for the play this year Manager Campion said: "The book of the play offers the best possibilities of any that have been presented to the club for a long time. It has a good plot, well connected, and with none of the hard situations that usually tax the abilities of the amateur actor. The prospects are much better this year than ever before. There is an abundance of good talent in school.
The Domino Club presents a musical comedy written by Kansas University students each year. The first play, given in 1910, "The Idol," was very successful. The play given last year, "Object Matrimony" was good, but the music was bad. The band had to studentlege students. The music for the play this year is "light." Hink said that he could whistle it already.
Miss Patti Haitt will direct the production and have charge of the rehearsals. She has had considerable experience in training amateurs. The club will hold a tryout for playwright play. Tuesday evening in Frasher hall, at seven o'clock There are several parts in the play that do not require a singing voice. Persons who have any taste for comic opera can have an opportunity to see it at close range by trying out for a part. The chorus will require a very large number this year. The room for the tryout will be announced in the Kansan tomorrow night.

Coach Brewer Voices Missouri Sentiment in Letter to Manager Hamilton
Manager W. O. Hamilton, received a letter today from Coach Brewer, of the University of Missouri, thanking him for the hospitality shown them and the courtesy of everyone towards the Missourians.
Coach Brewer said that every person who made the trip from Missouri was more than pleased with the way he was treated.
The University Missouriian says in part: "Everywhere there were as many Missouri colors as there were Kansas colors with "M" and "K" pennants distributed evenly all over town, including many residences. Instead of the "Beat Kansas" banners, which greeted them here last year, they had as their slogan, "Welcome Missouri" and had many banners up to this effect."
In this article the University Missouriian voiced Coach Brewer's sentiments as well as the sentiment of all the Missouri students that came for the game.
John Lovett, of Hutchinson, is at the Phi Delthe house for a few days.
Fred Hesser, '10, is visiting at the Beta house.

WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE
WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE
With the resignation of William
Allen White from the Board of Re-
gents, the students of the Uni-
verse are losing a close friend and
sympathizer.
Once a student himself, Mr. White remained "one of the boys," and was a common visitor to the pool of Robinson Gymnasium where he vied with the best swimmers of the institution in making high dives and back plunges from the spring board. He understood the undergraduate point of view, despite which he has time and time again proved his practical worth to the University.
Mr. White never lost sight of the fact that the University is composed of more than one faction, and his work in the past proves that he had the correct idea of each.
His loss to the institution will be felt undoubtedly. "It is regrettable that his work forced him to resign as he has always done his utmost to further the best interests of old K. U., and seemed to have her welfare at heart.
Thanks are extended to him for what he has done in the past, both as alumnus and Regent.
After this, the Oread high school will surely declare a holiday whenever the University does. Witness the story on page 1 of last night's Kansan.
THE DEBATING TRY-OUT
The try-out for the selection of the university debating squad will be held Wednesday December 11. The proposition for the try-out will be, "Resolved, that the policy of regulated competition should be adopted by the federal government as the solution of the trust problem." This resolution will be debated with the universities of Missouri and probably with the Universities of Oklahoma and Colorado. Six minutes will be allowed each man in the try-out, and he may discuss either the negative or affirmative side of the question.
It is important that every man interested in debating participate in this try-out. Over forty men took part in last year's try-out, and a still larger number should show their active interest in debating this year. Outside of athletics, the only inter-collegiate activity in which the University of Kansas competes is debating. Its importance therefor should not be underestimated.
The advantages of debating were pointed out by Professor Gesell in his chapel talk of last week. Perhaps the greatest value of debating is the opportunity for research work which it affords the student. This phase of debating, which has hitherto been overlooked was brought out by Professor Gesell in his speech. As proof of this he cited examples of a number of men
who first became interested in their life work while intensively studying public questions in the preparation for inter-collegiate debating.
For the first time in nine years Kansas won from Missouri in the last annual debate. The two men who represented Kansas in this debate were doing as much for the school as though they had won a spectacular athletic contest. Many students, and among them are some of marked ability, have the impression that intercollegiate debating is of little importance and is not worth their time and efforts. This impression is erroneous. Debating ranks as high in interest in this university as in any other of the Middle West. With two live debating societies and the keen competition our sister universities have always given us, the try-out this year should bring out some of the best material Kansas has ever produced.
It is seen by a headline that a school house has been moved by a heavy vote. Hardly necessary to remark that it wasn't a straw vote
THE COLUMBIA TEAM
The following paragraph is reprinted from the Kansas Notes of the Kansas City Star. The fact that Columbia University has not had a football team for five years may make Ed. Greer's explanation funier than was intended originally.
"Nicholas Murray Butler is being laughed at for asking 16 million dollars for Columbia University's immediate needs, but Ed Greer of the Winfield Courier suggests that people forget how much it costs to run a football team."
KNOW THE OUTSIDE
KNOW THE OUTSIDE WORLD
The typical university man lives in a little world of his own, cut off in great measure from the real world outside, in which he is preparing to take a place. Without doubt he is getting the best preparation that the best men of his time can devise; but the fact remains that he is out of touch with actual conditions, except the sporting events. He comes from a high school, or a small preparatory school, plunges into the most interesting and absorbing life possible, and, even if he had any "practical" experience before matriculation, finds himself engulfed in a swirl of college activities that, seemingly, gives him no time for anything else.
The result is that, after years of getting ready for something, the prepared one finds himself a stranger in a strange land; speaking its language, but handicapped by a lack of understanding and compelled to learn that history before he can do what he has been prepared to do.
A remedy would be a compulsory course in Current Events and their Significance; but no such course is offered. There is, however, another remedy, rather preventative, nearer at hand, and easier to take. In fact, after one takes it for a short time, he cannot get along without it. He cannot that college men are so healthy, that is they confident, that they scorn all "dope," especially preventatives, the very things that are reputed to be worth more to the ounce than all other medicines to the pound.
Do a bit of preparing on your own hook. Keep your feet in time with the college lock step—but your ear cocked for the marching tunes of the big procession going by outside. Do what nine-tenths of us don't do; read the daily papers and worthwhile magazines—Michigan Daily.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS
OF WISE OLD BOYS
Mere scholarship and learning and the knowledge of books do not by any means arrest and dissolve the human system. Nor would I pretend for a moment that literature can be any substitute for life and action. Burke said, "What is the education of the generality of the world? What is the education of books? What is the straint and discipline, examples of virtue and of justice, these are what form the education of the world; profoundly, true, is life that is the education of books. But the parcel of books, if they are well chosen, reconcile us to this discipline; they interpret this virtue to the diviner mind, and rouse us to a consciousness of what is best in others and ourselves—Lord Morley.

SUCH IS LIFE
Under the caption, "College Shang," Life Magazine prints the following article which ought to inform the Daily Kansan feel real news.
College slang is apparently on the rack. Its use and abuse have been generally exploited during the last few weeks.
The University of Kansas publishes a daily paper called the University Daily Kansan. This paper, according to al reports, is a hot-bed station of this taken from the headlines in one number are as follows:
The trouble seems to have started in Kansas, where most troubles originate.
"The Toot Manifesto is Effective To-day. (That is, the new regulation for signal-whistling goes into effect.)"
"Andrew (sc. Carnegie) Digs Up Again."
"That Baldwin Team Still Eating Em Up."
"Jayhawker Hopes on the Tobogan."
"Test Heart Action of Bubble Warons."
Now the head of the department of English in the Kansas University is a gentleman of sensitive nerves, and he has hastened to state that the department of journalism is entirely separated from that of his own. At the same time he intimates that if the Kansas appears to be still under the blight of slang and apparently not able to recover from it.
Pharmacy may henceforth be studied at home. Fine, but will these home students be able to master the pronunciation of the many words of Marathon length without the aid of instructors?
STUDENT OPINION
The lighting of the buildings on the campus is undoubtedly as inefficient and antedated as may be found in this section of the country. Just why considerable portions of the appropriations should be expended for relatively unimportant purposes, and that they should not remain, as it was installed twenty or thirty years ago, does not seem quite clear.
Ask any student why he is unable to study twenty-five or thirty minutes in the library without experiencing severe eye strain or headache. He will probably attribute it to anything except the real cause of the trouble, the inefficient and unhygienic lighting.
WE'RE IN THE DARK.
Editor Daily Kansan;
It would seem that in an institution of this size, the library could be illuminated in a manner which enables a student to do his best work. It would be comparatively inexpensive, and the damage done to the appropriations would be negligible. Although many of the other building are better examples of incorrect liking than the library, they are not needed and would make the installation of proper systems of illumination would tend to raise the standard of work which is being done in them.
The whole industrial and commercial world is awaking to the necessity of more and better light. Why should the University of Kansas be backward in this respect?
All announcements for this colu-
ture will be added to the news

There is an exciting race scene, an intense act of action laid away up in the Kentucky mountains and a novel and amusing plantation scene introducing a score of clever little colored lads in songs, dances and band music. Nothing better in a dramatic way, nothing more wholesome and more entertaining can be desired than "In Old Kentucky." It is a strongly dramatic and an unusually thrilling story of real people, elaborately presented and splendidly plumed.

A large number of candidates have reported, but there is room for many more. Ten voices are especially desired, but any men with good voices will be welcome. The first home concert will come shortly before the Christmas holidays, and will be, in many ways, a radical departure from the old bygone form of glee club concert.

Beside the announcement of a series of Greek lectures, the notice of a boy who desires to find a roommate. To one who is a bulletin board fiend this sheet is rather stale, having been posted at least a month; and wonder arises whether the roommate has been found, tested in the scales, found wanting and room made for his successor.
Nearby is the advertisement of G. G., who lost a gold watch in the enthusiasm of last Friday's rally. His hard luck is almost equally by the numerous persons who have lost fountain pens and text books; while one lone individual advertises that he is a fountain pen ahead.
One notice penned evidently in frantic haste requests the return of a small notebook lost in class. Valuable notes are specified as the cause of the anxiety for its return. Who knows what pencilled comments on the instructor and author of the written confidences what "He" said last night may be down in this book, and make a joy to the finder?

BASKET TOSSERS ROPED ARENA DRAWS SHOW UP STRONG NUMEROUS RECRUITS
With Five "K" Men Bac Coach Looks for Fine
Team
With nearly thirty men out every night in suits and five "K" men back the prospects for a successful basket-ball season this year are the brightest possible. The "K" men back are Captain Greenlees, Brown, Hite, Behm, and Smith. This with the exception of Captain Stuckey is the squad that won the championship of the southern division of the conference last year.
In addition to this squad a large bunch of last year's freshmen team are out. Several of them have exhibited real play against the freshmen aggregation and will push the Varsity men to keep their positions. At center Weaver is showing up well, especially on the tip-off Dunniem is also putting up a fine defensive game at *guard*. Sproull one of last year's freshmen centers has been transferred to forward.
Coach Hamilton has started holding nightly practices and the squad is showing up in good form. The first game will be staged shortly after the holiday. They are likely heavier than than of last season and should show up better when confronted by rough tactics of their opponents.
Varsity Easily Defeats Freshmen
In last night's scrimmage the Varsity as usual had a walk-a-way and scored at will on the fighting press before the game, but out for the freshmen team and the indications are that they will develop into a strong bunch of basket toppers before the season is over.
Coach Frank of late fame on account of his Minnesota tactics on the football field will assist Coach Hamilton with the Varsity basket tossers. Coach Frank played for several years on the Minnesota basketball team. It will be remembered that Minnesota defeated Nebraska by an overwhelming score last season on the basket-ball court.
Ike Lambert, '12, of Emporia will come tomorrow for a short visit at the Phi Delt house.

Coach Frank Starts Boxing Classes With Enrollment of Seventy-Five
Seventy-five men reported yesterday to Coach Frank for the boxing class. Not much work was indulged in the first day, but from now on strenuous work will be the program for the class.
Coach Frank has said that he did not care to develop any "Mike Gibbons," if only he could develop all of the men in the science of self protection. The men look pretty good," is the way Coach expressed himself.
The idea of the class will be to hold boxing matches among themselves and when the men develop faster and get better acquainted, a boxing carnival will be held to determine who is the best man in the school. The men will be divided into feather weight, light weight, weighted weights, and heavy weights. If any of the other conference schools develop any boxers a carnival may be arranged in the spring.
BIG CIRCUS COMING
Peanuts and Red Lemonade Will Hold Sway in Robinson Gym
The Spring Circus which is given annually by the students will be held in the gymnasium this year the first week in April. It will be given for the benefit of the girls' dormitory.
The circus is on the way.
Between twenty and thirty men are working out every day at tumbling, and pyramid building. Mr. Root requests any one who has any freakish stunt of any description or who can give a slight-of-hand performance or has any side-show trick, and it goes to the gymnasium and all it ok.
The show this year will be bigger and better than ever. Seventy-five or a hundred people are expected to take part and gigantic preparations are being made.

FORTY MEN REPORT FOR CLASS SERIES
Great Interest Displayed In Approaching Inter-Class
Affairs
Practice for the class football games is on with a rush and over forty candidates were out for last night's practice eager to begin work. No definite dope could be gotten on the strength of the opposing teams or the referees and the iminations are that the games will be real gridiron battles.
The coaches were busy rounding up their men and drilling them into the rudiments of football. The coaches that will take charge of the work are Captain Brownlee, Weidline and Davis.
Most of the evening was spent in kicking the ball and practicing falling on it. The condition of McCook was not good, and practice was held on the golf links.
Coaches Mosse and Frank are still looking for more recruits for next year's team and are hoping that any big man that have not come out for football this year on account of lack of knowledge of the game will report for the class fracases as individual attention and instruction will be given to every man and will be a good chance to learn the rudiments of the game in preparation for next year.

The Mill Tax as a Basis for a Permanent Income for All of the State Educational Institutions
It would make it possible to take better care of the details of the University administration. Under the present system the University budget for the expenditures in June, 1915, must be compiled in September 1912—almost three years ahead. With a permanent income each year would be provided for as occasion required and the administration would know definitely what to count on.
It would save the time of administrative heads and members of the faculty who are compelled by their duty to the interests intrusted to them by the state to go to Topeka and exert their efforts to have these interests understood by the legislature, in order to prevent the doing of some serious injury to some branch of the educational or state service work through oversight or lack of knowledge.
It would relieve administrative heads from the humiliation of being criticised for attending committee sessions at the legislature and doing the necessary legislative work to which their devitions and duty to their institutions obligates them.
It would put Kansas among the states which have already given their educational institutions the advantage of permanent incomes by fixed tax: Iowa, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Colorado, California, Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska, and others.
It would make it less easy for other universities to take some of the best teachers from Kansas, as they have been doing, because of the greater permanence of these universities in the matter of income, and the greater certainty with which their teachers can depend on the continuance of their work.
It would remove all temptation from educational institutions to save their interests by resorting to political methods. No state institution would ever be drawn into politics.
It would put the maintenance of the University, the Agricultural College and the State Normal Schools on a permanent basis, removing them from the danger of having their revenues curtailed by caprices or financial depression, and enabling the governing boards to pursue a definite business-like policy.
It would deliver the University from an especially heavy handicap of having only $7200 in permanent income (Interest in its land fund)—a handicap from which the other two state educational institutions suffer, but in a much less degree.

A good thing for the University. A good thing for the other institutions. A good thing for the state and the taxpayers. A relief to the legislature.
Mill Tax Would Benefit University. It would ensure a more healthy growth of the University, because normal growth in an educational institution is possible only when plans providing for such growth can be made, extending over a number of years.

It would save the time of legislators who are now compelled to study the intricacies of appropriation bills while occupied with scores of other legislative matters. To understand thoroughly the details of the University appropriation bill alone would require all the time that the ordinary legislator can devote to the duties of the legislative session.
It would emphasize the insignificance of the cost of education to each individual taxpayer. If he pays taxes on a valuation of $10,000 the mill tax would cost him $10. Would any man question that the presence in the state of three educational institutions, doing an immense amount of state service work, adds not one but many to the value of each thousand dollars worth of property that he possesses?
It would relieve the legislator from the responsibility of the present large total of appropriations, removing from his shoulders the burden of the entire educational budget of the state. It would also relie him from the administrative and financial zealous importunities of the advocates of the various institutions.
By eliminating competition in the procuring of appropriations it would make toward a better co-operation among the various schools, and a consequent increase of efficiency and value to the state.
It Would be a Relief to Legislature

It would result in a more economic administration of the educational institutions because system based on available income always means economy.
It would be to the advantage of the taxpayers because it would insure their getting the greatest possible efficiency out of the state schools, the greatest possible value from their work with fixed and permanent income can an educational institution do its best work.
How The Mill Tax May be Secured
The income of the University and other institutions can be made permanent only by constitutional amendment.
The matter must first be presented to the legislature in order that it may be by them submitted to a vote *x* the people at the following general assembly appear on the ballot as a proposed amendment to the state constitution.
The first step, then, is to prevail on the legislature to give the people a chance to vote on this measure of such vital importance to the educa-

The course is the first of its kind on record.
WE HATE TO RUN THIS
STORY THIS COLD DAY
The Constitution of the United States defines the duties of the United States with respect to the naten and the various states. But the custom officials on the Canadian border have done more to a duly duty on liquid air shipped from this University to Canada than the Constitutions of both Canada and the United States.
Mr. W. B. Patty, who has been lecturing in western Canada for many years on wireless telegraphy, liquid air, and radium, has obtained his liquid air from the Chemistry department of the University. But the problem of shipping empty flasks back to the United States to be refilled with liquid air without paying a duty is the burdensome question. Mr. Patty got the flasks in Germany, and paid six dollars duty to import them in the United States. Now Canada charges duty for taking the flasks in the United States charges duty for the flasks coming back into this country. The difficult predicant Mr. Patty is in to get the flasks of Germany back in the United States without paying duty and the liquid air of the United States into Canada without paying duty, so as to combine the two in order to make them useful to him.

EARLY LAND ANIMALS WILLISTON'S SUBJECT
Lecture Tomorrow By a Man Who Could Teach Anything in Catalogue
HE SPEAKS 14 LANGUAGES
And Refuses to Wear a New Hat Even When One is Purchased
"The Early Land Animals of North America" will be the subject of Dean S. W. Williston's popular lecture for the general public, which will be given Friday at 4:30 in the lecture room of Snow hall. The people of Lawrence as well as the student body are invited to attend. A second lecture, "Causes of the Evolution of the Animals of North America" will be given at 10:30 o'clock Saturday morning at Snow hall. This lecture will be more technical but is open to the general public.
With the return of former Dean Williston to Mount Oread, several stories have come to light about his eccentricity. It is related that in the early days of the University of Kansas, Mr. Williston was asked by the Chancellor what he wished to teach "Anything in the catalogue" he replied. The former dean thanked him for his knowledge and his knowledge of various languages. When introduced to persons he used to try them out in various languages. It is said that he could speak seven languages, and read fourteen.
Like many other men, Dean Williston used to have a favorite hat. It was an old, battered relic, but was worn constantly upon all occasions. Some of his assistants thought of a plan to improve the appearance of their dean. They bought a new hat and placed it where the old one usually hung, and hid the battered hat in a far court. When Dean Williston started to go home he could not find his hat. He looked everywhere, and finally went home bareheaded, refusing to wear the new one.
FORMER DEAN TO SPEAK
IN CHAPEL TOMORRO'
Dr. Williston left here in 1902 to accept a position in the University of Chicago.
Dr. Williston was the first dean of the School of Medicine when that department was enlarged and made a separate school. This was in 1899 when a two year course was installed, which might be combined with the College course to receive a degree of A. B. in medicine or B. S. in medicine. At that time the requirements for admission to the school of medicine were the same as those required by the Collere.
Samuel Wendell Williston, former dean of the University School of Medicine and at present professor of paleontology at the University of Chicago will speak in chapel tomorrow morning. Professor Williston came here in 1890 to take charge of the first medical course installed in the University. But one year ago we grieved that the wine was offered. The instruction was merely preparatory for work in other schools.

M. Jinbo Takes Hon. Pen In Hand
He Rises to Ignite How Esteemed Highbrows is Many Better as Hon. Ivory Domes.
Masatarjo Jinbo has enrolled in the University of Kansas.
Be it known at once that Masarato Jinbo is not the name of a new breakfast food, a new kind of shrubbery, or the latest Oriental musical comedy. Masarato Jinbo is a young Japanese art goods dealer of Kansas City, and he attends the University through the United States mails.
Masataro Jinbo is very much in earnest in his work, as his letters to the Extension Division show. These letters, taken from the charm to the English language.
"In response to your esteemed letter under the date some time in last August of which it has been in my consideration to reply to, I have the honor to inquire the further details of it, as I desire to study only the political economy and the English specially in the correspondence probably intended for me. Names and have been in United States about eight years only, I am hardly to make the familiar expression in English."
Masataro's letters show care in the composition and misspelled words are perhaps less common than in the letters of the average native American. For over a year he has been corresponding with the Extension Department and in suavity and politeness his letters are models.
He wihes courses, to use his own words, "to get the modern commercial knowledge, to write the expository business contract nainer in English."
Masataro expresses himself as "very much satisfy with your worthy advice" and hopes "to make a good schooler under your favor."
Here's our best to M. Jinbo!

Mr. Swartz is a graduate of Lafayette College, class of 1910, and since 1912 has been in traveling work throughout the colleges and universities of the United States.
"Mr. Swartz is quite a young man, but a man of extraordinary personality and ability, as evidenced by the important position he now occupies," aid Roy Stockwell this morning. "He has a particularly strong record or scholarship and will be sent to Russia in the near future to work in the great student centers of the Russian Empire."

Fire Escape Clingers Prove Unwelcome Audience
at Rehersals
The management of the Masque club is having its troubles already. This year "The Boys of Company B" is the offering of the club and in order to get ready for the two performances which will be given at the Bowersock theater December 17 and 18, the members of the cast, are forced to rehearse in Fraser hall. For the past few rehearsals William Cain, manager, has had to keep a guard at the fire escapes of the building to keep anxious students from hearing the play.
Manager Cain says there will be plenty of seats at the Bowersock and he wishes the students would not try to see the rehearsals as it gives him much worry. The members of the cast also dislike the idea of rehearing their parts before an unwelcome audience. It is hard enough to act in a room before the director to say nothing of working before critical students who look at them from hiding places.

But You Won't Need Any Overcoat in the Library.
The Theta house is a handsome white Colonial house, costing $10,000. The first floor is finished in grained oak and has four rooms, a reception hall, living room, dining room, and kitchen. A large porch opens off the living room on the south side of the house. On the second and third floors are twelve sleeping rooms furnished in white and blue.
Prospects for good weather are more promising today with the assurance that a spell of fair and cooler weather is about to break upon us. The general indications point to a month of relatively cold weather with precipitation slightly above that of last month.
In view of these prospects and those offered by Prof. Walker on the low gas pressure, the library is preparing to accommodate more nightly inhabitants than have been on hand thus far this year. Better make your seat reservations early, in order to be prepared for the grand rush which will naturally accompany these conditions, aided by the fact that exams, are now only twenty-nine days off.

Boiled shirts and spike tailed coats are going to be much in evidence tomorrow night when the tenth annual Law Scrimimage will be held in the Fraternal Aid hall.
The laws are spreading themselves, to put it in campus vernacular, and are going to make this one of the big occasions of the year. They will have as their guests the thirty-two members of the football squad, the faculty of the School of Law and their wives, Coach and Mrs. Mosse, Coach Frank, Manager and managers of the Supreme Court of Kansas and their wives.

WHY NOT TAKE GREENWOOD
INSTEAD OF OLD BOURBON?
Any county club that wishes to compete for the state spelling champion with the Wyandotte county club, the present champions, can get a match by accepting this challenge through the announcement columns of the Kansan. Bourbon county is preferred.
The foregoing is the result of willful action and premeditation on the part of the members of the Wyandotte county club at its regular monthly meeting last night at Myers ball.
Carl A. Preyer, head of the University piano department, played an original composition Tuesday as the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra.
When the captain of the Wyandotte team was asked why he preferred the Bourbonites he said that there are tales being circulated around the campus to the effect that system of spelling taught in the Bourbon county high schools the Wyandottes wished to prove that the Bourbons failed to take the advantage of this while they were in high school.
PROF. PREYER SCORES
IN CONCERT PROGRAM
the enthusiastic manner in which Professor Preyer's program was received is indicated in the following from the Kansas City Journal:
"The solist of the afternoon was Carl A. Preyer, head of the piano department of the Kansas state University, who played his latest and most pretentious composition, a brilliant concertstuk for piano and orchestra. This gifted musician is not heard in this community nearly as much as he complements deserve. His latest work is a distant advance upon what he has done in the past, a bold and virile conception admirably developed and proving Mr. Preyer a concertist and composer of his merit."
The officers chosen at the las meeting are: President, Mrs. Arthur Moon; vice-president, Mrs. L. A. Winsor; secretary, Mrs. A. J. McAllister; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Katherine Means.
K. U. Dames Elect.
The Taming of the Shrew was effectively accomplished to the extent of the first act by the K. U. Dames, which met yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. N. P. Sherwood.
Orthographics Are Decidedly Booming
Greenwood County Students Believe They Are the Guys That Put the Spell in Spelling.
Constantinopoliheredoodlesackpfeienmachergeselleshaft—this is the longest word in the German language according to Vice-Chancellor Carruth but the students from Greenwood county claim that they can spell any English word no matter if it is three feet longer than this.
"We have some word mongers in our county club that we think can outspell any organization from the International Hobo's Association to the Past Grand Order of Harvard Rhetoric Professors," said Denton Howard, president of the Greenwood county club this morning as he came into the office and asked us to run an announcement to the effect that "Greenwood county hereby challenges all county clubs of the University to an old fashioned spelling match to be held any time and any place that the 'accepting organization may wish.
"Any other county club that desires to accept the challenge may meet with our committee and frame up a set of rules. One rule that will probably be enacted is that cub reporters on the Daily Kansan and sign painters shall be barred from competition in said match."
The Greenwood county club is aiming at a revival of that good old standby that gave our fathers so much enjoyment in those "little red school houses." It decries the present mad scramble for psychological, philosophical, biological, and ethical education, and the mental element of putting the A, B, C's together in the right combinations.
TO PUBLISH POETRY
Wattles and Shuler of Wichita Write Volumes of Kansas Poetry
A book of original verse, written wholly on Kansas subjects and by Willard A. Wattles, a graduate of the University, and illustrated by John Shuler, another Kansas boy, both formerly of Wichita, will appear early next spring, according to a communication received this week from Wattles, now teaching at Amherst, Mass.
Two years ago Wattles, Harry Kemp, and others got out a book of poetry by University students called "Songs from the Hill." This new book will be entirely by Wattles, and in addition will deal only with Kansas subjects, endeavoring to typify Kansas by every possible means and by the things most characteristic to Kansas. It will contain the following poems: "Kansas," "My People," "May on Oread," "The University of Kansas," "Sunflowers in the Corn," and "The Prairie Wind."
Shuler, who will illustrate the book, is a graduate of Fairmount College and spent three years in the art institutes of Chicago and New York. He also worked for his work, and has one painting now on exhibition in Vienna.

THAT PHARMACY COURSE
Content is a *particular tenant*, but it always in palaces. From the Chinese.
The recognition by the State Board of Pharmacy of the Correspondence Course offered by the Extension Division is a very important matter. First, it is an official recognition of the value of the University's Extension Course by a State Board which governs the licensing of pharmacists—all young men who desire to practice pharmacy must pass this Board of Pharmacy Examinations and must have besides four years of practical experience. To the graduate in Pharmacy of the University the Board gives the following credits: "Graduates of the several courses in pharmacy may become 'registered pharmacists' in Kansas, without examination, upon application to the State Board of Pharmacy, on completion of actual experience in a drug store, as follows:
"Graduates of the three-year course must have twenty-one months' experience."
"Graduates of the two-year course must have thirty months' experience."
"Graduates of the four-year course must have twelve months' experience."
The Board certifies proficiency to graduates of the University School and credits for practical experience as above. For the extension work all pupils in the course are given credit for time in residence at University in terms of Practical Experience.
Wisconsin is to have a course in football. A course in track would sound more sensible.
THE FOOTBALL SMOKER
The second annual football smoker will be held Wednesday evening, and in persuance with the custom started last year, undoubtedly will be an occasion of enjoyment for every man who attends.
The scheme was tried for the first time last year, when over four hundred were present and had a much better time than at the former football banquets, where everyone had to be on their best behavior, and real cheering abstained from. Last year the four hundred gathered and listened to speeches from the men in the direction of the team, and saw such noble bodies perform as the Scoop Club, and other organizations on the "hill."
There was plenty of smoke, and plenty of music, and pep to spare. The lunch was served in a very informal manner as any one who was present will testify, and the best part of it was, it was good and everybody had enough.
This year, plans are being formulated to make the smoker a bigger success than ever, and every man who stays away is going to miss one of the best times that any college student ever had a chance to have. And he is not only going to miss a good time, but will lay himself liable to the charge of being pepless, which to a Kansan, is a term of deep reproach.
Don't look at this smoker from a selfish viewpoint. Think of the football team, and how the men denied themselves things that they desired to keep in training. Think of the knocks they received and of the be on sale the latter part of this made up. Then consider that this is the last time this year that you will have a chance to do honor to them publicly, and act accordingly.
Tickets, in the form of tags, will be on sael the latter part of this week. If you really men it when you say that you are proud of the team, you will be wearing one of these tags as soon as they appear The tighthead and the drone will no doubt remain undecorated.
The Daily Kansan is pleased to anounce the election of Harlan Thompson to the position of managing editor, and of Henry Maloy to the Daily Kansan Board.
OUR THOUSAND DISTRACTIONS
Can the average Wisconsin student keep his mind on his studies? We hate to say "No"; but "No" must be the answer. Should we say "Yes" the journalist would never forgive us, for he well knows that he is haunted night and day for fear "the story" will escape. In his quiet room or in the classroom, he feels a burden hanging over him; and be he ever so resolute to strict attention to his lecturer, his mind tricks him, and off it goes and wanders in search of material for his daily columns. The actor knows that he must have his "lines" by night; and, try as he may, the same monotonous rumbling of questions and replies buzzes in his head; and his class work for the day necessarily suffers. The athlete nurses a lame foot or shoulder; the pending game is ever on his mind; he must get those signals down "pat"; and while the professor is attempting to drive home a point, I am hitting the line for a ten yard rain.
Mable, too, has her troubles. She has two bids for the Friday night lance, and to play fair she has "made a mess of it"; consequently the last lecture was "awfully dry." Then there's the business manager; it's eleven o'clock and no "ads." No one can describe his agonies during the next hour. More numerous is the distinguished commiteeeman who must positively call a meeting today. If you see him rushing through the corridors, think not that he is storming for his next recitation. No, he must find "Bill." Chances are he doesn't find him, and you might as well offer him Mother Winslow's as try to soothe him with philosophy. There's a meeting at four o'clock, another at five, and three more in the evening, besides a special at eleven. You pick up a book with a sigh of relief, and for the half hour to what is "accomplished" in session number two, discovering probably that your whole scheme fell through or that you lost the election. The mental strain is too much, but you keep right on plotting another scheme or hatching out another idea. There's no use trying to get the French verses tonight; and the day has ended for you—and for everyone else.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF WISE OLD BOYS
Neither retrospection nor introspection can analyze our active student life differently. There are elections and initiations from September to June. For what? Into what? Each student must answer such questions himself. Unless he is retired, each student will work side more empty "honors," the other he drops that work the better it will be. Over activity in "student affairs" is certainly a bane upon our college life—Wisconsin Daily News.
The sympathetic-ink remains colorless and invisible, so long as the paper upon which it has been used is cold, but becomes a fine blue or green hue thereafter. The hidden beauty of some men's natures can be revealed they must be thrown into the heated furnace and pass through the fiery trial of affliction, but no fury warrants that. To scorch a man into despair so long as there stands by him the form of one like unto the Son of God—Anon.

A Dry One.
Why in the name of the Sahara desert and all of the other dry and sandy wastes doesn't the Board of Regents or E. E. Brown or whoever is in control, why again don't they buy a few gallons of distilled water and place them where a thirsty and parched body of students may relieve their terrible dessicated condition.
At least some one might be granted a short term franchise for the sale of lemonade or some other thirst quencher. The lectures are dry enough, but with no water to cool our parched and aching throats life is growing unbearable. Please es tablish an gasis.
"One Concerned" very appropriately calls attention thru last evening's Kansan to an error appearing in the diary pages of the Y. M. C. A handbook. As the editor of that publication may I mention another error appearing on page 40, wherein I wrote that "The biggestons" on March 16th. The Easter recess begins on the 20th, as noted on the same page.

There is an exciting race scene, an intense act of action laid away up in the Kentucky mountains and a novel and amusing plantation scene introducing a score of clever little colored lads in songs, dances and band music. Nothing better in a dramatic way, more wholesome and more entertaining can be desired than "In Old Kentucky." It is a strongly dramatic and an unusually thrilling history of real people, elaborately presented and splendidly played.

Employment Bureau Issuee Quarterly Report of Amount of Work Secured
A report covering the operations of the University Employment Bureau from September 1st to December 1st has just been issued by Roy Stockwell, manager of the bureen. During this period 64 men have been placed in permanent positions while 54 others have been supplied with temporary employment. Few three of the men registered with the bureau have secured employment independent of the bureau and there are still 37 men who have filed applications but whom the bureau, for various reasons, has been unable to assist as yet. The total number of applicants thus far this year is 198.
To December 1st the number of permanent positions secured for students by the bureau was 85; oppor-tions for temporary employment, 302.
The estimated value of the work secured from September 1st to December 1st (the value of permanent positions being estimated on the basis of the entire school year) is $15,000. Of all work secured by students through the bureau for the year 1911-12 was estimated at $3,550.00.
The annual cost of operating the Employment Bureau is placed at $75,000. The university pays $75,000, the remainder $75 being said by the Y. M. C. A.

It would deliver the University from an especially heavy handicap of having only $7200 in permanent income (Interest in its land fund),—a handicap from which the other two state educational institutions suffer, but in a much less degree.
It would put the maintenance of the University, the Agricultural College and the State Normal Schools on a permanent basis, removing them from the danger of having their revenues curtailed by caprice or financial depression, and enabling the governing boards to pursue a definite business-like policy.
Gardner Girls Victoresses
It would remove all temptation from educational institutions to save their interests by resorting to political methods. No state institution would ever be drawn into politics.
The Mill Tax as a Basis for a Permanent Income for All of the State Educational Institutions
It would put Kansas among the states which have already given their educational institutions the advantage of permanent incomes by fixed tax: Iowa, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Colorado, California, Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska, and others.

It would save the time of administrative heads and members of the faculty who are compelled by their duty to the interests intrusted to them by the state to go to Topeka and exert their efforts to have these interests understood by the legislature, in order to prevent the doing of some serious injury to some branch of the educational or state service work through oversight or lack of knowledge.
Professor and Mrs. Baumgartner, will entertain Dr. S. W. Williston of Chicago, on Friday at a luncheon and reception.
A good thing for the University. A good thing for the other institutions. A good thing for the state and the taxpayers. A relief to the legislature.
It would make it possible to take better care of the details of the University administration. Under the present system the University budget for the expenditures in June, 1915, must be compiled in September 1912—almost three years ahead. With a permanent income each year would be provided for as occasion required and the administration would know definitely what to count on.
It would relieve administrative heads from the humiliation of being criticised for attending committee sessions at the legislature and doing the necessary legislative work to which their devotions and duty to their institutions obligates them.
All Tax Would Benefit University. It would ensure a more healthy growth of the University, because normal growth in an educational institution is possible only when plans providing for such growth can be made, extending over a number of years.
It would make it less easy for other universities to take some of the best teachers from Kansas, as they have been doing, because of the greater permanence of these universities in the matter of income, and the greater certainty with which their teachers can depend on the continuance of their work.
It would insure the gradual and proportionate increase of the revenues for education as the value of the property in the state increases, providing automatically the larger means of meeting growing needs.
It would emphasize the insignificance of the cost of education to each individual taxpayer. If he pays taxes on a valuation of $10,000 the mill tax would cost him $10. Would any man question that the presence in the state of three educational institutions, doing an immense amount of state service work, adds not one but many to the value of each thousand dollars worth .f property that he possesses?
It Would be a Relief to Legislature
It would save the time of legislators who are now compelled to study the intricacies of appropriation bills while occupied with scores of other legislative matters. To understand thoroughly the details of the University appropriation bill alone would require all the time that the ordinary legislator can devote to the duties of the legislative session.
It would relieve the legislator from the responsibility of the present large total of appropriations, removing from his shoulders the burden if the entire educational budget of the state were given him from the well-meant but somewhat zealous importance of the advocates of the various institutions.
It Would Benefit The State.
It would result in a more economic administration of the educational institutions because system based on a stable and calculable income always means economy.
It would be to the advantage of the taxpayers because it would insure their getting the greatest possible efficiency out of the state schools, the greatest possible value for students with fixed and permanent income can an educational institution do its best work.
By eliminating competition in the procuring of appropriations it would make toward a better co-operation among the various schools, and a consequent increase of efficiency and value to the state.
How The Mill Tax May be Secured
.
The income of the University and other institutions can be made permanent only by constitutional amendment.
The matter must first be presented to the legislature in order that it may be by them submitted to a vote of the people at the following general election, which appear on the ballot as if proposed amendment to the state constitution.
The first step, then, is to prevail on the legislature to give the people a chance to vote on this measure of such vital importance to the educational interests of the state.

"MORE MEN FOR CLASS FOOTBALL", THE CRY
Mosse Wants All Varsity Subs Out for Practice at
Once
A hurry-up call for more men out for class football was issued this morning by Coach Mosse, on his way to talk about next year's schedule.
"The men are not coming out," said Mosese, and he looked peeved and sounded grieved as he said it. "Last night only the sophomores and freshmen had enough men out for a team.
"I want those men out who subbed on the Varsity. I want to see what they can do. There is Varsity material kicking around here that never sees McCook except to watch the other fellows do it.
"They tell me the fellows who didn't make the Varsity won't come because they would feel ashamed to play class football if they don't make the Varsity. I want those fellows out. Nine Varsity men out of ten are subs a year or more before they ever make the first team. Spear, center on the team in 1910, was a sub four years before he made the team."

DRAKE DELPHIC
TRIFLE PEEVED
Says Injustice Has Been Done Her Football
Boys
And now we are informed by the Drake Daily Delphic that we are as they term it good to ourselves when we place Kansas third in the Valley ranking. Of course there is no definite ranking available due to the muddled condition of affairs. Not only did dope fail to work out as it should in many cases but at the same time the score of many of the games was far from expressing the real strength of the opposing teams.
Realizing this we took into consideration as far as possible the playing strength of the teams in the last few games of the season. This, is generally conceded, is usually the best judge of a team at its strongest development. Kansas was hampered all season by injuries and the holding back of plays and did not show her real strength until the Nebraska and Missouri games. In both of these games everything was uncovered and every man was in the game. The results of these games are history. Kansas showed her superiority to the Tigers in every department of the game. The results of these games are history. Kansas showed her superiority to the Tigers in every department of the game. The Tigers took a fling at the Drake Buldog on Drake's own ground and there you have what should be a real test of the comparative playing strengths of the teams in question. As to Drake's early season win over Kansas, no doubt the Bulldogs feel chesty about their first win over the Jayhawks but they should remember that five of Kansas' men were out of the game and many of the pet plays were kept under cover. And how Drake puts herself over Missouri in Valley ranking remains an unexplained puzzle.
As to the Nebraska-Ames dispute this department does not care to enter into it as either team is entitled to first place so far as we can judge. Probably the writer on the Drake writer can make this point clear for us.
SOCCER MEN
BUSY
Mfch Interest is Being Exhibited in Approaching Class
Contests
Fifty-five men are out every evening from three-thirty until five o'clock practicing for the inter-class soccer games which are going to be pulled off next week on the soccer field in the rear of the gymnasium.
Coach Root expects to discover some finds during this series to recruit his Varsity team with next year. The prospects for a strong eleven look very bright and excellent material will not be lacking.
Butler will lead the seniors, Crawford will head the juniors, while Evans and Owens will captain the sophomores and freshmen respectively. There should be some good games between the teams as all the regular players are divided up among the four classes. The freshmen will be the best organized as they have been playing together all season.
HONORABLE FUMIWO ANDO
Would TRANSLATE BOOK
Jap Student Reads Text by Dean Johnston and "Has the Honor to Introduce Myself."
Fumiwo Ando, of the Tsuchiura Middle School, Inariki-ken, Japan, in an honorable letter to Dean Johnston of the School of Education, is "looking forward your letter with eagerness" in the hope of translating a text from Japanese into English written by Professor Johnston, into the Japanese, and the matter of such a translation is now being considered by the Scribner Company.
In characteristic Japanese style Ando tells how he graduated from Tokyo Higher Normal School and read Dean Johnston's book. Thinking that the book would interest Japanese students, he did not be allowed to translate it into his native language for his fellow teachers.
TO BAR FIRST TEAM
The letter was written November 3rd and mailed at Tokyo.
Freshmen First Team Cannot Play in Inter-Class Affairs
Affairs
More interest than ever before is being displayed in the present class football games. This is largely due to the fact that the championship will be by no means an easy win for any of the classes.
Heretofore, the affair was always a walk-a-way for the freshmen team, who in addition to having the advantage in a season's training for the games, also, had an advantage in beef and available material. But such is not the case this year. In this season's inter-class games thirteen of the best men on the freshmen squad will be barred. These
Coach Bramwell, who has charge of the young hopefuls in the series, is especially anxious that a large number will report for practice, so that the freshmen will be well repaired. In order to spare the time should try out as making the class team entitles a man to wear his class numeral.
thirteen constitute the first freshmen team.

Washburn and Aggie Coaches Announce Retirement from Coaching Game
It is likely that two of the coaches who opposed Kansas this season on the foot ball field will not be in active service next year. One of these is Lloyd Driver, coach of the Washburn team, and the other is Coach Lowman of the Aggies. The Washburn Review gives the following on the prospective retirement of the two mentors.

It was announced after the game last Thursday that it was the last game for both coaches. In an interview with the Capital, Friday, W. L. Driver stated his intentions to turn his attention to his farm in the Ozarks after the close of the year next June. For some years he has been improving the farm, the celebrated Matthew Bowers at the Hills, and now believes he should give his entire time to it. Coach Ouy Lowman of the Aggies said that while he would continue to have charge of athletics at K. S. A. C., he would relinquish active charge of the eleven. However, he may be found coaching the line, his specialty, next year.

NUMBER 57.
FRATERNITIES SHOW HIGHER SCHOLARSHIP
Greek Letter Men Surpass Barbs in Matter of Grades
SAME IS TRUE FOR CO-EDS
Girls Pass Ninety-Four Per Cent of Work Against Eighty-Eight for Men.
It isn't often that the fraternity man has his inning, and when he does, everybody ought to know about it. Registrar George O. Foster gave him one today in his annual report to Chancellor Frank Strong on student scholarships.
Of the twenty-five men who failed completely last year, but one was a fraternity man. The statistics gathered by the registrar show that the 224 members of Kansas fraternities passed in 89.45 per cent of the 883 members compared with the 88.35 per cent of the 1001 non-fraternity men.
The sorority girls Mr. Foster found to be making even a better showing than the men. They passed in 96.85 per cent of their work, a little more than one per cent higher than the 95.03 grade received by the other women students. But twenty per cent of the members of Greek societies proved deficient in their studies and none failed completely. Of the non-sorority girls, twenty-two per cent did unsatisfactory work and .7 received poor grades in all their work.
Registrar Foster explains the showing made by the fraternity members by the fact that the societies pay careful attention to the static standsings and make organized efforts to improve scholarship.
A healthy rise in scholarship on the part of the general student body is pointed out in a comparison made in the report with the preceding year.
A feature of the report was the superiority of the women over the men. Forty-five per cent of the male students registered black marks in part of their courses in contrast with the twenty-three per cent undergraduates in the same class. The women passed in ninety-four per cent of their hours, six points better than the men.
ROCK CHALKS TRAVEL
HOME VIA PALACE CAR
Greenwood County Students to Rida in Luxury and Boost Mill Tax From Pullman Seats.
Woodrow Wilson travels in his special car, so does Bill Taft, and also Ex-Teddy Roosevelt; but never in the history of the University has an organization of the rank of a county club attended to dozzie the takeoff of cars, bringing themselves into town in a special car, and a palace car at that.
At a meeting held Wednesday night, the Rah Rahs from Greenwood county made arrangements whereby a special car will leave Lawrence December 20 with more than 150 of Jay Hawk enthusiastically welling.
"Ricker Chicker Bum Ricker Chicker Bum Greenwood Greenwood Makes things hum."
The special will proceed to Topeka where it will gather up a half dozen Ichabods from Washburn and on to Manhattan for a bunch of Aggies and then on down the line to the trembling Christmas turkey.
Something like eight or ten of the bunch play musical instruments and as the jerkwater train pulls into Eureka the strains of "Oh Where, Oh Where is Old Missouri," will tell the sleepy inhabitants that the University is awake and needs the mill tax.

BILLINGS IS HONORED
Will Head Committee to Study Method Of Fighting
Germs
Dr. F. H. Billings, associate professor of Botany and bacteriology has been honored by receiving the appointment of chairman of a national committee or five to make a plan of methods for fighting disease bacteria.
The appointment came from the president of the association of state and National Food and Dairy Departments and the commission was chosen from among authorities all over the United States. The other members selected are Dr. D. J. Healy of Lexington, Kentucky, Dr. J. S. Abott of Austin, Texas, Dr. J. H. Wright of Fargo, North Dakota, and G. W. Stiles of the United States Department of Agriculture.
The purpose of this commission is to carry on research work and make tests to determine a standard of methods for waging war against Austria and to present their results to the association for its adoption.
The commission has been at work for almost a year now and many important results have been accomplished. At present work is being done to establish the standards. The next meeting of the commission will be in Mobile next May.
JUDGES IN SONG CONTEST
FIND EFFORTS UNSUITABLE
Prize Money Turned Over to Student Council Until Distinctive Kansas Anthem is Found.
To encourage the writing of a typical University of Kansas football song, fifteen dollars was turned over to the Men's Student Council this afternoon by the judges in the Daily Kansan song contest.
No award was made in last month's competition because no fitting song was submitted and the officials decided to create a fund to be held until a real prize song is written.
"The judges, felt that no worthy Kansas song was presented in the Daily Kansas contest," said one of the judges this afternoon. "That the students did not care to adopt any of them was shown by the fact that at the Missouri game, only the old chants were used. The prize of fifteen dollars will be held by the Men's Student Council until some author appears who can compose a worthy song."
The judges in the contest were Professor D. C.rosso and Martie Thomas.
PAN-HELLENIC TO GAMBOL
GAILY AT FOOTBALL SMOKES
The foball smoker to be given at F. A. A. hall next Wednesday evening under the direction of the Men's Student Council promises to be the best ever yet.
One of the big features will be a gambling playlet given by members of the Pan-Hellenic in length and atone worth the four-bits price of admission. Considerable expense is being entailed by the council to get up the smoker, but the sale of tickets, which started today, indicates a large crowd.
The program and feed will eclipse those of last year's smoker who was so successful. Tickets may now be obtained from agents on the bill for fifty cents.
Frank O. Marvin, dean of the School of Engineering is expected to spend his Christmas vacation in Lawrence.
DEAN MARVIN HOME

Recent reports from Northport, Michigan, where the dean has been, say that he is "feeling fine" and on his way home now. Nothing definite can be obtained as to the present whereabouts of the dean but it is rumored that he is stopping in Chicago for a few days and will be home some time in the near future.
Before commencement last spring Dean Marvin went to northern Michigan to recuperate after he was down.
Carl Logan, a sophomore in the College, is spending a few days in Topeka.

Student of Forty Years Ago Says Kansans Excel In Research
ONCE DEAN OF THE MEDICS
Gives Annual Sigma Xi Address to
Members of Local Chapter This Afternoon
This Afternoon.
"Half the research workers in my line of work in the United States are from Kansas," said Dr. S. W. Williston, head of the department of paleontology in Chicago University, speaking in chapel this morning.
Speaking in a reminiscent vein Dr. Williston worked out the idea which seems to cling with everybody that has ever lived in Kansas —"Once a Kansan, always a Kansan."
Dr. Williston was at one time head of the University Medical School he is here to give the annual Sigma Xi conference in Fraser hall this afternoon at 4:30.
According to his story, there are four persons living who received degrees from the University before he was here, which was just forty years ago. "I am not a graduate of the University of Kansas," he said "but better still, a graduate of the state of Kansas."
Dr. Williston gives the Kansas spirit of liberty and equality and human sympathy as the thinns which Kansas means to outsiders, and attributes his success to the discipline he received while one of the few score students that in his day made up the University.
WM. CAIN TO CHICAGO.
According to him, Kansas students are more aggressive and therefore excel in research work in competitor with students of Eastern and Middle states.
Makes Arrangements for Special
Scenery for Masone Club Play.
Mr. William Cain, manager of the Masque club, will leave to oorw morning for Chicago where he will make arrangements for some special scenery to be used in the club's production of the "Boys of Company B" at the Bowersock theater; December 17 and 18.
His work deals with the problems of mining mountain coal in seams that stand almost perpendicular, owing to volcanic action, which, according to Professor Haworth, is a difficult engineering problem.
Special drops depicting scenes of the camp of Meadow Greys on the Hudson and the army scene will be brought from Chicago especially for use in two of the acts of Rida Johnson Young's clever comedy-drama.
For the past year he has been assistant engineer for a British Columbia coal company forty miles north of the Line, and after January 1 will be head engineer.

Judge Smart Believes Innocent Medi
in the discovery of a preventative.
Should be Paid for Time in Penitentiary.
A pension law for worthy and needy mothers, the raising of the age for compulsory education from fourteen to sixteen years and the abolition of the ice system for the compensation of probate judges were among the important changes in the laws of kansas advocated by Governor Frank W. Perry of the three legal societies in session in Snow hail this morning.
Supt. W. H. Hall, president of the Kansas Conference of Charities and Corrections advocated strongly the adoption of resolutions asking for the passing of a mothers' pension law.
"In the law of 1911, he said, "we have provision for the city's caring for the family of the fireman who has lost his life or his efficiency as a bread winner in the discharge of his duty. This is a laudable and worthy expenditure of money. Would it not be wise and fair to make similar provision for the maintenance of the family of a poor widow who has no way of educating her children other than by her own labor? Is not her family of more value to the state than the money it would take to educate them?"
"The innocent should no longer be punished for the crimes of the guilty as is the prisoner's family," declared the judge. "The state should no longer take his earnings from his wife and children. Nor should an innocent citizen suffer the (Continued on page 3.)"
Picture Show Censorship.
Supt. Hall then made a statement of the resolutions which had been passed by the society of which he is president calling for the extension of the jurisdiction of the probate court to include criminal and civil jurisdiction, the adoption of a law abolishing the fee system, judges and placing them on adequate salaries, and public defense in criminal trials.
“Our conference believes that these resolutions look to the public good, and if enacted into law would benefit’' declared the superintendent.
Convicts Deserve Pay.
Probably the most radical changes were put forth by Judge C. A. Smart, president of the Society of Criminal Justice, advanced the idea that prisoners should share of their earnings while in the penitentiary, and that citizens found innocent of the crime of which they were accused should be paid for the time they were held prisoners.
Judge Roy T. Osborne, president of the Association of Probate Judges advocated the change in the limit of the age for compulsory education to 18 years old. He also suggested stricter censorship of motion picture films.

or possibly the cause of one of the many terrible diseases to which the flesh of man is heir to.

F. A. A.

The grand march will start at nine o'clock and the dancing will continue throughout the evening, interrupted only by refreshments, which will be served in five courses.
The dance programs are on purple leather, tied with white strings, the School of Law colors. On the front of the poster is the letter "K" on it. Below in the nier is an "LL. B." They contain the program of dances, the names of the members of the football squad, and other material which makes them a worth-while souvenir. The attendance tonight will be large and the laws will have a number of distinguished men as their
COMPETITION IS NOT NEEDED FOR EFFICIENCY
Combination is Better, the Decision at the K. U. Debating Society Last Night.
Is competition essential to the attainment of industrial and social efficiency? No! At least that is the decision reached by the judges after weighting the arguments pro and con at the clash last night at the meeting of the K. U. Debating Society.
Donald Joseph, Hugh Adair, and Ira Irwin who set forth the points against competition, winning the decision, argued the monopolies can be controlled, that the wastes of competition should be avoided, and that the efficiency of controlled monopoly is much greater than that obtained under cut-throat competition.
George Marks, Webster Kimball and Fred Soper were the opposing speakers.
FIRST CHRISTMAS TEA
HAD LARGE ATTENDANCE
About 300 girls enjoyed the Christmas tea given yesterday afternoon in Haworth hall by the ladies of the faculty. Mrs. Frank Strong and Mrs. M. R. Sterling greeted the young women at the door. Mrs. James Green and Miss McEntire presided over the table.
The room was attractively decorated with Christmas greens and bells. On the tea table was a miniature Christmas tree and red candles.

The romance was begun when Miss Stucky and Mr. Pratt were students in the University. Miss Stucky was widely known at the University. She was president of the Woman's Student Government Association, and a member of the Phi Beta Phi sorority. She was graduated from the College. Mr. Pratt is a graduate of the Engineering school, and formerly lived at Phillipsburg, Kansas.

K. U. EXPOSITION IS PLANNED FOR SPRING
Scheme to Show Working Exhibit of every Department Is Launched
WEEDE INVENTS THE PLAN
hancellor Strong, Student Council,
W. S. G. A., and Members of
Faculty to aid the Project
"All Theory and no Practice" is the impression of many people of the state, in regard to the University. That is the general impression held by some people of universities in general. In order to bear this belief, and to show the people just what the University has for the children of the state, a plan has been drawn up by Orlin A. Weede by which the citizens of Kansas can see with their eyes the things that are done by University students. It is proposed that a University Exposition be given on May 2, and 3, 1913. It is to be a college fair modelled along the regular "World's Fair" line. It can be made as interesting in its way as any of the larger fairs.
The plan has been indorsed by Chancellor Frank Strong and the University Council, the Men's Student Government Association, and the Women's Student Government Association. The Chancellor's statement is as follows:
"I have been very much interested in the exposition plan since it was brought to my attention, and I sincerely believe that an exposition of the kind suggested would be of great benefit to the people of the state as well as to the University. The University Council has carefully weighed the points for and against such an exposition and has found that it would be advisable to sanction and support a University Exposition on May 2, and 3, 1913. The students can depend upon the co-operation of the whole University."
What K. U. Could Show.
The limited knowledge of the average person concerning the function of the University and its service to the public is astonishing. Because they have no children many people believe that they can deny no benefit from a University. Others are convinced that Lawrence is merely a place to have a good time. Most people must be shown before they believe, and a University Exposition is designed to show that K. U. students do work, and benefit the state by that work.
The plan, in brief, is to give working exhibitions of the various departments of the University in the various buildings on the days mentioned. Visitors would be shown the serious side of the school's activities and could see at a glance the work of each department.
It is planned to hold at the same time several meetings of interest to outsiders and also the annual high school track meet. Parents' Dav will also probably be included in the scheme so that the fathers and mothers of the students will have the best opportunity of seeing just what the University is accomplishing.
Many Interesting Exhibits.
For instance, instead of laying the finished products of Fowler shops on some dark shelf, let them be placed out in the open for public scrutiny, from the crude chain-links to the most delicate instruments in machine construction could be grouped together in typical camp life on the frontier around drafting tables covered with maps and profiles.
All the other departments of the school could be similarly depicted The plan will be submitted to the students soon and they will be given an opportunity to vote on its adoption.

CLASS FOOTBALL
Mr. Big Husky, if you failed to make the Varsity team, or if you didn't have pep enough to stick it out, gather your frame together and trot over to McCook field and mix it up in class football. Something ought to be due from you besides brilliant class work.
And you men you tell how you used to do it in high school, tear away from your easy chair, and go out and illustrate your lectures. Don't be a drone. Help your class win the championship.
In years gone by, some excellent material has been found among the class team recruits, and this year should prove no exception. At any rate you should show up and take a chance on being an undiscovered star.
Getting into college is now easier under the new entrance requirements. But smoking a cigarette in Fraser hall will continue to be the most expeditious means of getting out.
A MORAL
We are warned that the thirteenth remaining school days of this month may prove a hoodoo. If a man were starving and had thirdeen days to regain his normal condition would he wait until the twelfth day or would he begin eating slowly and keep up his steady diet until he had his fill. Obviously he would begin eating as soon as possible. Do you get the moral?
GET BEHIND IT
Elsewhere in this paper is an article explaining plans for a grand University Exposition. That the plan is a good one there is not a doubt. The advantage that it would be to the University of Kansas is obvious.
Out over the state among a certain class of people the idea seems prevalent that we of the University are not practical in the work that we do. Our task is to show them that we are practical, and that our work is of a kind to produce real results and not merely to give an uncertain knowledge of intangible theory.
The way is clear before us in the proposed Exposition. All that remains is to adopt plans that will make the Exposition a success, and to see that our parents and friends become interested enough to attend. Once they are here we are confident that their notions (if they have any) about the impractibility of this institution will vanish.
It means work to arrange for such an Exposition, and every one connected with the University should make it a duty to get behind the plan and aid it directly as well as morally. Moral support is good but it takes real effort to make things go. And this being the first thing of its kind ever attempted by
the University of Kansas, it is going to mean the material support and co-operation of everyone, beginning right now, and not next week.
It is sometimes a fact that a few do all the work of an enterprise. It is necessary to have someone in charge to direct the work, and in the case of an affair as big as this Exposition several directors are necessary. It is hardly necessary to add that Kansas students are men enough to do their share, and not throw all the burden upon someone else.
Meanwhile get busy and boost.
It is up to the students to say whether they want the Exposition.
Considering what it will mean to old K. U., we don't see how they can vote against it.
Our mind reverts to the cap pistol of boyhood when in reading of the sharphooters we see that "intercollegiate matches will be shot off."
A more appropriate place than K. U. for the sessions of a Society of Criminal Law and Criminology would be George Fitch's Siwash College.
THINGS THEY NEVER TELL US Fine paper you boys are getting out. How do you manage to keep your class work up in such fine shape?
I never kicked a football more than twenty yards in my life.
My dog is in no way remarkable.
I'd have gone to Nebraska but I had lost my pep.
I never had a date.
My hair has always been thin and hard to comb.
The Lawrence water situation is in truth these days to University students a dry subject.
I HAVEN'T TIME.
How often one hears the complaint made by students when asked to do anything slightly out of their way. "Oh, I haven't time." Ask one to serve on a committee in society or class, "I simply can't spare the time." Why did Miss Smith not have her lesson prepared this morning? "Oh, I didn't have the time." Why does that not big, husky fellow over there go out and fill up the weak places in the football team? He too "does not have the time."
It would be no exaggeration to say that the greatest per cent of students make statements similar to the above several times during the course of each week to excuse themselves for failure to do their duty. For failure to find time to do things that are expected of one is certainly nothing more nor less than neglect of maybe, assuredly morally, who "cannot find the time" One never who is really busy and is really capable. Such a man can always "find the time" or even make time in which to do what is required of him in one way or another.
Did it ever occur to you that it is in this fact that there lies the secret of the other -man's success? The reason why honors in student government or in every other community seem to be monopolized by a few individuals is simply because they have the time. It is not so much that marks the difference between success and failure. It is rather the capacity to find time for everything that one is required to do. It is the capacity to make the best possible use of one's time. And success is a distinction to which the man who "hasn't got the time" can never hope to attain.-Ottawa Campus.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS
OF WISE OLD BOY S
Men and women make their own beauty orugine. Bulwer speaks in one of his novels of a man "who was uglier than he had any business to be," and, if we could but read it, every human being has an eye and a good-looking, or the reverse, as that life has been good or evil. On our features the fine chisels of thought and emotion are eternally at work.

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
Now the nights are all passed over Of our dreaming, where dreams
Now the days are all gone over Of our singing, love by lover—
Days of summer-colored seas,
Days of many melodies.
Now the kiss of child and mother
The speech of sister and both-
selves
Are but with us as strange words,
Or old songs of last years birds
In a mist of fair false things—
Niebs with quiet folded wings.
"Why did she break the engagement with Tom?"
Now all good that comes and goes is
"She advised him to be economical and he started by getting her an imitation diamond."—Philadelphia Bulletin.
As the smell of last year's roses
As the shining in our ees
Of dead summer in pait skies.

STUDENT
OPINION
I have read your classification of college students. You say that you found it in your copy basket and that you suspect a member of the faculty. I don't believe a word of it. I do believe, however, that you do the tastes of University of Kansas students a rank injustice.
'TWAS ROTTEN.
Fat Studes—That bed's rather narrow for two.
I wear a mackinaw coat, and just because I do I don't think that I ought to be classed as a rough among those who say "believe me," and chew spearmint gum. Purhermore often wear a shirt. Purhermore have no right to say that I sing at night or flunk in snap courses.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Lowe-Why do the leaves of this book stav tothere?
But all that I could forgive.
Where you overstepped all bounds of justice in was where you classed the laws in with the roughs and Daily Kansan bunch and mention the engineers not as much. We were as you are as the laws will testify. Next time please give the engineers a place.
A Disgruntled One.

What the Mill Tax Would Do
Mill Tax Would Benefit University. It would ensure a more healthy growth of the University, because normal growth in an educational institution is possible only when plans providing for such growth can be made, extending over a number of years.
It would make it less easy for other universities to take some of the best teachers from Kansas, as they have been doing, because of the greater permanence of these universities in the matter of income, and the greater certainty with which their teachers can depend on the continuance of their work.
It would make it possible to take better care of the details of the University administration. Under the present system the University budget for the expenditures in June, 1915, must be compiled in September 1912, almost three years ahead. With a permanent income each year would be provided for as occasion required and the administration would know definitely what to count on.
It would save the time of administrative heads and members of the faculty who are compelled by their duty to the interests intrusted to them by the state to go to Topeka and exert their efforts to have these interests understood by the legislature, in order to prevent the doing of some serious injury to some branch of the educational or state service work through oversight or lack of knowledge.
STUDENTS HEALTHY
Less Sickness This Year Than Ever Before, Says Dr. Naismith
Molasses taffy with black walnuts, fine chewing. Get it at Wiedemann's."-Adv.
There are less students who have serious cases of sickness this year than ever before," declared Dr. Naismith, professor of physical education this morning.
"I find that the students are in better condition this year than any class of students that have ever entered the University since I have been here. There are more cases of carlessness, such as broken bones and broken ribs than in former years. But such cases as bad eyes and a weak heart seem to be unknown in this year's class.
"This shows conclusively that the general state of health of the students is becoming better each year. This also tends to make better students and better work results. Also there are more of the students who work with the gymnasium than ever before. Even a afternoon more than a hundred afternoons are working out, seemingly just for the pleasure there is in it."

At 12:30 a three course luncheon was served by the department of domestic science at which Vice-Chancellor Carruth acted as toastmaster. Judge W. A. Schoh spoke on "Getting Married" recommending the raising of the age limit for marriage from eighteen to twenty-one years, and the raising of the age of majority of girls to eighteen to twenty-one years, and the making of stricter qualifications for seuring marriage licenses.
Judge L. L. Uhls spoke on "Degeneracy and Some Preventives for it." He advised the passage of law that requires the sequestration of persons of insult to criminals, more stringent marriage laws, and compulsory sterilization of criminals.
Warden C. K. Coddling of the state penitentiary declared that the prevention of crime was not a matter for the jails and prisons to solve, but a problem of organized society. He established the establishment of night schools and a necessary means of reducing the number of criminals.

RECRUITS WANTED FOR COLLEGE TEAM
Coach Frank Wants More Men for His Basket Tosser Aggregation
Greater importance than ever before is going to be laid on the College basket-ball team. Heretofore only a limited schedule has been played but this year a full fledged schedule is being arranged that will keep the team more than busy.
Coach Frank who has charge of the coaching of this team expects to develop a squad which will push the Varsity men to hold their positions. Contrary to report he is not expecting to teach the men roundtactics or a blocking game like that which Nebraska plays but he is intending to teach his team Minnesota tactics. As to what this style of game is the coach only smiles and says, "wait and see." Coach Frank will also assist in the instruction of the Varsity.
Every man that is not on the Varsity or is ineligible on account of being a freshman or back in his studies is eligible to play on this team. In fact it will consist of a second Varsity team. Never before has so much good material for basket-ball shown up and this year's College aggregation should be nothing less than a contender for the state championship.
More trips will be taken than usual and at least four trips are being scheduled. The schedule is not all out but among the schools played are strong college teams like the Warrenburg Normals, William Jewell and the College of Emporia.
Miss Elizabeth Marbury, the dramatic agent of New York, said at the Colonvy Club the other day:
"It is an error to think that the intellectual girl is dowdy. Look at the girl graduates about you. Those with the highest marks wear usually the nicest frocks. I said one day to a Brun Mawr girl;
"How beautiful your pannier gown fits, dear. I thought you grave and reverend seniors were above such trifles?"

The inter-class soccer series will start Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The freshmen will tangle with the sophomores, and the juniors will hook up with the seniors. The winner of these two games will play the following afternoon at 4 o'clock to settle the championship of the University.
Yesterday afternoon in the shivering cold more than forty men turned out for practice. There are more men showing up for the sophomore team than any of the others. The juniors and the other officers scrubbed in. Root wants all of the men who know anything about the game at all to come out.
The winner of the series will receive a silver loving cup and the name of each member of the team will be inscribed upon it.
COACHES TO COLUMBIA
Manager Hamilton. Coach Mosse and Prof.Murray leave For Conference
Manager Hamilton, Coach Mosse,
and Professor Murray leave today to
attend a meeting of the coaches and
officials of the Missouri Valley. The
purpose of this meeting is to discuss
the interpretation of this year's
basket-ball rules and to arrange the
various schedules.
The basket-ball schedule has not been entirely settled and will be decided at this meeting. It is probable that the same arrangement will be continued as that used last year, the division of the Valley into a Northern and Southern Division. Coach Hamilton will probably arrange several games with the northern teams in addition to the regular schedule.
Next year's football schedule will also be arranged. A game with Washington University will be arranged if possible. The other games will be the same with practically no changes excepting that Kansas will play the Sooners at Norman, and Missouri at Columbia.

Both the Tigers and Cornhuskers have eletced their captains for next year's football teams. The two choices are men who were named on the All-Valley squad.
Purdy was chosen to lead the Cornhuskers and Wilson the Tigers. The Nebraska captain showed his worth in every /game in which he played. In the Kansas game he was hampered by a bad knee but hit the line harder than any of the other Nebraska backs. Wilson, the Missouri leader plays center and is considered one of the best men in the conference at that position. That he did not star in the Kansas-Missouri game was due to the system that he was bucking and the spirited game of his opponent than any poor playing on his part.
A prince who falleth out with laws breaketh with his best friends.
The laws are the only guards he can be sure will never run away from him.
Where the least useful part of the people have the most credit with the prince, men will conclude that the way to get everything is to be good for nothing.
Power in the prince, and liberty with the people, are like heat and moisture; where they are well mixed everything prospers.
A wise prince will not oblige his courtiers, who are birds of prey, as to disoblieve his people, who are beasts of burden.
Remember
If a prince does not show aversion to knaves and deceivers, they will deceive till they ruin him. A prince who praiseth others too soon is in danger of repenting it too late.-Life.

WHITE HOPES, ETC. AT FOOTBALL SMOKER
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 9, 1912.

Smoke.
Remember the Utah Thug, The Mill, and the Alley Rat of Last Year's
A battle is impending. The light weight championship of the universe must be settled.
Perhaps we had better limit the championship to this sphere, this continent, or even this university, but at any rate the battle will be pulled off. Better yet, two-count 'em, two battles will be pulled off, and the occasion is the annual Football Smoker in F. A. A. hall. Wednesday night.
"Wharf Rat" Dingham and "Mormon" Smith, the two famous light-weights, whose doings have been filling the sport columns of the metropolitan dailies for months, will positively battle for the lightweight championship. Both men are in perfect condition and, while news from the training camps is often reported as identically to the hostile quarters give encouraging reports. It is to be a battle to the finish, and both men are prepared to go the limit—two rounds.
Two white hopes from Coach Frank's boxing class will also put on a two round bout, but their identity is veiled in mystery.
This is to be one of the many features of the football smoker. Students will also be put on by on the Pan-Hellenic council, the Black Helmets, the Friars, the Sachems, the Glee Club, and the Kansan. The Chancellor, the coaches, the captains, and the players, too, there will be eats, served during an intermission in the program.
"This smoker is given at bargain rates," said C. M. Coats this morning. "We are giving a two dollar show and a feed, all for fifty cents. It is the last chance this year to publicly honor the team, and every man should come. The freshmen, in particular, should avail themselves of this opportunity. All men must buy their tickets before Tuesday night, as the number sold will be checked up then, in order to know how large a quantity of eats to provide."
RECOMMEND REFORMS
Favor Mothers' Pensions, Bigger Salaries, and Modern Punitive Measures
As a result of the two days' meeting of criminologists at the University Friday and Saturday, the Kansas legislature may better prison regulations, adopt pensions for mothers an simplify civil and criminal procedure at its next meeting in January, if recommendations of the sessions just passed are followed.
Opposition to the recall, by Judge J. B. Winslow of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, pleas for a better jail system by Warden J. K. Coding of the Kansas state penitentiary, and a paper on the advantages and justices of a mothers' pension law, were features of the closing meeting of the three legal societies that met Saturday in snow Hall.
Owing to a death in the family Judge Merritt W. Pinekney of the Cook County Illinois juvenile court was unable to attend, his paper on him was to Mother's Pension Law in Illinois" being read by Professor Higins.
In his talk on the jail system, Warden Codding declared that the jails of Kansas are the feeders of the penitentiary, and as a remedy suggested the building of work houses and work farms for prisoners, the working of roads by jail labor, and compensation to the prisoner of one third of his labor, to go to his family. Resolutions recommending these changes were adopted to be submitted to the legislature.
Judge Winslow advocated the simplification of both civil and criminal codes of procedure, broader education of lawyers, removal of courts

PROFESSOR WRITES ROMANCE OF KANSAS
Carl Becker Tells How People Fell in Love with
a State
"I wondered vaguely why any one should be moved to say 'Dear Old Kansas!' I had supposed that Kansas, even more than Italy, was only a geographical expression. To understand why people say 'Dear Old Kansas,' is to understand that Kansas is no more geographical expression, but a 'State of mind,' a religion, and a philosophy in one."
Thus does Carl Becker, professor of European history, explain his first impressions of the Sunflower state in his monograph on "Kansas" in the Turner Essays in American History Series, published by Henry Holt and Company. Essay it is called for it; a romance it is, a story of a prairie country that won the story of a people.
Wrapped in a holiday cover it would make it a fitting gift for the skeptical ones who live outside the borders of Dear Old Kansas. The little heart story of a great American boy like the only Kansas sun office this morning. Copies may be obtained for twenty-five cents each.
COMETH NOW BOURBON
WITH CHIP ON CLAVICLE
"It's the height of impudence for the Wyandotte students to claim the state spelling championship, when they haven't even held a match with any club either this year or last, and after we it out with Miami county last year."
This is the answer of the Johnson County students to the challenge of the Wyandotte aggregation for a spell-off competition county for the state championship.
from politics, and longer terms with better salaries to judges.
Judge Pinckney pleaded for the adoption of a law providing pensions or worthy mothers on the ground hat such pensions would be both economic and humane and were needed under present conditions.
"Of course, if the Wyandotte club wants a match, the statement continues, we will be glad to accommodate them on a 40 and 60 basis or winner take all. But the fact that Wyandotte have assumed the championship without even holding a match is ridiculous in the extreme.

Just 189, 732 times up to noon today has that famous old sentence clucked forth in the main corridor of the Journalism building. In every known variation through the entire scale from Do through La and Mi unto Do, has the call of assistance for the Grand Old Organization vibrated.
And all because the department of Journalism rented ten new typewriters this fall, and invited four-secure heavy fingered cubs to practice.
They did. Dropped the first digit with the thud of a pile driver upon the "N" key. Bang! plunged the capital letter into the heart of the mechanism, glancing off to punch itself upon the paper, and then rebounding off the tuning board to burst into a shower of sharp red, white and blue clatter.
Bang! followed the little "o" when the first finger had located it in a careful search through all the other white keys.
Raced soon after the small "w". Thus one by one, in measured blows, the letters jumped into place on the paper.
And today at least four scores of the four scores can write letters home that the teacher has received.

KANSAS STATE SWAPS FOSSILS
Trades Sunflower Prehistoric Animals for 350 From Switzerland.
The University of Kansas and a firm in Geneva, Switzerland have been "swapping fossils. It is not a "sight unseen" game though, because Kansas knows what she is getting in the bargain. Three hundred and fifty new species of invertebrate animals are on the way from the land of cheese. They are worth at least $125,000, according to Prof. W. H. Twenhofel of the Geology department. The Geneva firm is to receive a collection of fossils from Kansas clays in exchange for the invertebrates.
Through its work on Kansas insect problems, begun in 1872, the University has returned in economic value to the state an amount often estimated as high as the entire cost of the institution and its foundation.
ENTERPRISE BOARD HANDS OUT BUDGETS
Second Hand Performance Will Not Pull Cash From Association Pie
The joint Board of the Students' Enterprise Association announced this morning the budget allowed to the members of the Association at the meeting of the Board, Friday afternoon.
The budgets are as follows:
Athletic Association. $5042.32
Mandolin Club 200.44
Clos Club 119.00
Glee Club . . . 30
Band . . . 288.50
Orchestra . . . 250.00
Debating Council . . . 329.09
The following motions were passed regard to the payment of the amount allowed: (1) One half of the sum o money allowed each organization shall be placed to its credit at once; the remaining one-half is to be withdrawn until after said organization has given its second entertainment. (2) The first entertainment, repeated, will not be considered as the second entertainment.
Each organization which is a member of the Students' Enterprise Association submitted to the Joint Board, an itemized account of their estimated expense for the year, upon which reports, th allowances were made.
"This plan will, we believe, prove much more satisfactory than the former percentage scheme used," said Charles Coats, president of the Joint Board.

The Bourbob County Club is spellbound at the boldness of the Wyandotte County Club, in challenging the Bourbon County Invincible to an old-fashioned spelling match.
"We have inherited the art of spelling," said Pres. Randolph Kennedy, "and there is nothing we would rather do than to uphold the reputation of our forefathers for spelling, and teach the Wyandottes how to form words in the proper order.
"Bourbon County students admit that the fame of Bourbon County for spelling has not been so extensive as they think it is, a familiar to the Wyandotte students."
The Bourbon County Club issued the following statement today: "If the Wyandotte County Club wishes to oppose the Bourbon County Club in a spelling match, its secretary will meet the secretary of the Bourbon County Club and make the necessary arrangements. The sooner the better for us."

STUDENTS TO VOTE ON EXPOSITION PLAN
Hold Chapel Tomorrow to Decide on Minature World's Fair
WOULD COMBINE EVENTS.
Chancellor favors Holding Parents' Day, May Fete and Engineers' Parade at Same Time.
To approve plans for the holding of a University Exposition, a special mass meeting of the students will be held tomorrow morning at chapel time. The proposition will be presented by Chancellor Frank Strong, and an expression of opinion will be called for. If the students favor the plan, the meeting will be turned over to C. M. Coats, president of the Men's Student Council, and the students will proceed to effect their own organization for the holding of the Exposition, and elect officers to conduct the work.
"An exposition of this kind was held at the University of Wisconsin last year," said Chancellor Frank Strong this morning, "and it was an eye opener to everyone, not only to students and the people of the state generally, but also to those more intimately connected with the work of the University. Many departments were not acquainted with the work of the other departments, and derived much benefit from the exposition. To the people of the state, it gave an idea of what the University was doing.
"It would be a good idea to have this exposition at the same time as Parent's day, and give the parents a chance to see the workings of the University departments. The date will probably be the first of May."
The plan is to present a working exhibit of every department of the University, somewhat on the order of a miniature world's fair. To show the serious side of the University work will be the chief aim of the exposition, but amusement will be provided also for the many visitors who will be present. It has been suggested that the May Fete, the Engineers' Parade and the Indoor Circus be held at that time. A "Pike," patterned somewhat after the one at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, may also be presented.

Trust no one as far as you trust yourself—From the Chinese.
WAKE UP.
The University of Kansas Exposition—sounds rather ponderous doesn't it? But despite its bigness both in sound and reality, Kansans of the type that are here are capable of seeing it realized.
Tomorrow in chapel, the students put the official stamp of acceptance or turn-down on the plan. It has passed the faculty and has been endorsed by both student governing bodies. Unless the students prove mulish and unreasonable it will pass them unanimously.
Some are saying that they do not understand it. There's the point. Go to chapel and find out. Then wake up to the possibilities that it appears to the students and the University, and make your "aye" the loudest in the room.
"Gimme a light, got a fountain pen, lend me your pipe, slip my me gloves, how you fixed on change, lend me a quiz book, let me borrow your intelligence."—The College "Moocher" (male species).
"Have you a pin, let me wear your ribbon today, if I only had your hat it would just match my coat (Oh! you're so kind), you know I left my gloves at home, have you a hairpin? Thank you Birdie—The College "Moocher" (female species.)
AHEAD AS USUAL
The Cornell Daily Sun, through the attorney-general is advocating a bill allowing the students of colleges in the state of New York to send their votes home in matters of state and national scope. The students of Kansas could do it this year.
The Jinx is now after our holidays. Washington's birthday comes on Saturday.
YOUR TAG SIR.
Comes now the day of the football smoker, the one big democratic event of student life. There is where all meet on common ground to do honor to the season's gridiron warriors. There you meet more good fellows in a minute than you do at any other gathering of the social year in five. There you can be happy and contented in an unconventional atmosphere, and see stunts as no other entertainment produces.
Of course there is the cost to be reckoned with. In years to come the football smoker may be free but at present it is necessary to charge fifty cents, the price of ten "cokes." It is hoped that every student will find a way to procure the sum stipulated, even if it becomes necessary to borrow and pay interest. This admission will go toward the renting of the hall and the distributing of the "eats."
Remember, the chance to attend a football smoker comes but once a year, and that this is the last time the team and coaches will talk to you until next season. Remember
further that this is only the second smoker ever held, and that it should grow to be one of the dearest of Kansas' traditions.
Do your part as a real Kansan by being among the first on hand Wednesday evening. You will never regret it.
The Daily Kansan is perhaps the only daily paper in the state that has not urged the people to do their Christmas shopping early. There's a reason.
WAIT A MINUTE.
But she, kind-hearted soul, knows better, and unwilling to have the young man suffer she calls him again. He is almost exasperated, when she holds his water bottle up before his eyes. "It's boiled too," she adds, as he seizes it eagerly.
Place—Any student rooming house.
A student, dishevelled in appearance as if he had but lately arisen from bed comes down the stairs three steps at a time. He reaches the foot shaking himself into his coat while struggling desperately to keep three books under his arm. Clamping his cap tight on his head, he makes a头long rush at the door: He turns the knob and is about to begin his pre-any-thing-to-eat march up the hill to an eight o'clock class when his good landlady in an anxious voice calls to him:
“Mr. Stopper, oh, Mr. Stopper, aren’t you forgetting something?” Stopper hesitates. “Now let me see,” he muess; “do I have a quiz today? No; that’s not it.” And hastily he looks down at his clothes, thinking that perhaps he didn’t have everything on straight because of his great flurry. Everything O. K. “Guess I've got everything,” he says to his landlady and again starts off.
His eyes kindle with gratitude, and until five minutes of eight he pours forth soul-felt thanks and blessings upon her. Then he slips the bottle in his pistol pocket and starts blithely up the steep slope of Mt. Oread where dry lectures and dryer fountains abound, whistling all the while, "Dry Bones in The Valley."
NOT ONLY COAL
"In the spring of the young man's fancy," and so forth. And about the first week in December the young University man's fancy begins to center on those examinations by which he is to be judged. For some the outlook is sinister; to scarcely any, agreeable. And to urge a student that he should apply himself diligently between now and the end of the term would be insult to injury.
In a recent number of "The Creighton Chronicle," however there was an editorial entitled "Wasted Energy," the force of which is striking. It seems that out of many million tons of coal produced in the United States last year, about half the number were wasted. The editor intimates that if the test were applied to the time and energy wasted by students the coal figures would lose their significance. This may appear the wrong end of the term for talk about wasted hours. But at this time the problem is uppermost in the minds of no small group. That great horde of moments, not spent in real amusement, but frittered idly away—they would be such a comfort now! Other terms are coming, and other examinations. Why not take the lesson home at Christmas, reflect a bit, and come back with a little "efficiency" scheme worked out?—Daily Californian.

THE ILLS OF LIFE.
When anything happens in this world, we say it is providential, meaning it is intended for our own moment and discipline. We forget that events happen often for our punishment as well as for our correction. The ills of life are not all medicinal. There is such a thing retributive justice so necessary that life, its sufferings of the unpuny, are often meant to be punitive. They are sent as the rewards of their wickedness—Anon.

Never looked on by the light.

Till at length the sweet buds open—
Such a bud is life.
There are buds that fold within them.
When the rose of thine own being Shall reveal its central fold, courage, marvel, Fearing what thine eyes behold; What it shows and what it teaches Are not things wherewith to part; Are not ways coastal Beatings at the heart.

COUNTY CLUBS--
WHAT THEY MEAN
The Central Organization of K. U. County Clubs is making its first appearance in the University, to be a permanent and living institution for the good of the University of Kansas. Some explanation of its purpose and plans seems necessary in addition to those set forth in previous articles in the University/Daily Kansan.
This Central Organization of the County Clubs in the University is an outgrowth of two movements in progress at the present time: the campaign for the Mill Tax for the State Institutions of Kansas, and the numerous County Clubs which are rapidly coming into existence since the action of the Men's Student Council upon the matter of county organization among the students. However the securing of the Mill Tax law in this state is not the final aim of the Central Organization. The primary purpose of this body is to provide University of Kansas with a completely organized and systematically working association of its students, by which the best interests of the University may be effectually promoted among the people in the state outside of the University.
The membership of this organization shall be composed of the presidents and secretaries of all K. U. County Clubs as the official representatives of such clubs in the Central Organization. The constitution, as it now stands for adoption in the hands of the committee, provides that "By two-thirds vote of all members present at a regular or called meeting, the president and secretary of any inter-county or outside state organization of students in the University of Kansas may be elected representative of the organization." The members will meet together as a council of the County Club organizations and take up such matters as concern the University's interests, which are of necessity to be carried out by the influence of students of this Institution among the people outside of the University in their respective counties and communities.
The efforts of the University authorities and the Student Council o secure a Mill Tax law has brought to the minds of those active in the work, the great need of such an organization. Chancellor Strong has for many years devoted his mental, oratorical and other persuasive powers upon students and legislators to secure sufficient funds for the support of our University, but the centralized character of these student organizations by counties makes possible the greatest influence immediately at the command of the University authorities. Any plans for a campaign or work on foot in the interest of the school can be communicated through the entire Organization composed of the heads of the unity, directly to the member, and thus secure a rapid and efficient execution of such plans. The two notable characteristics of the association are the immediateness of ration through centralization and directness of effect through a definite and complete organization.
Some of the more immediate and definite plans of the Central Organization are, to secure in at least one of the newspapers, and in as many more possible, in each county, an article on the Mill Tax question, and to give the people-one idea of the significance of their County Club in the University by informing them of the County Club's work at home as well as in the University. By delegating a student thru the central Organization of County Clubs to each paper in his or her country, the authorities may secure an article in every payer of the state, supporting such measures as the Mill Tax and others that are bound to come in the future life of the University. Plans
for entertaining the senior classes of the different high-schools over the state, for increasing the percentage of the students out of high-schools coming to the State University, and above all, to create a better understanding of the course content of the school and executed by the Central Organization of K. U. County Clubs.
Its next meeting is at 4:30 P. M., in Room 116, Fraser Hall, Teach the 10th, of December, and all presidents and secretaries of County Clubs are invited to this meeting as important business is before it for the coming holidays.

THE CHARGE OF THE HEAVY BRIGADE
Half a yard, half a yard,
Half a yard onward
Plunged the bold center rush,
Weighing three hundred.
"Forward the ball," he said.
No man was there dismayed.
Bady the ball was played;
Some one had blundered.
Theirs' not to make reply,
Theirs' not to do and die.
Theirs' not to do and die—
Follow the husky guy
Weighing three hundred.
Tackles to the right of him,
Tackles to the left of him,
Tackles behind him
Pounded and thundered,
Stormed at with college yell,
Over the line he fell,
He who had fought so well,
Came from the jaws of death,
Back from the mouth of hell
All that was left of him—
Left of the three hundred.
When will his glory fade? O, the wild charge he made! All the world wondered. Honor the charge he made. Honor the whole brigade. Honor the guy who weighed— Only three hundred. I. C. Davis is Post Dinahat

Is character best developed by the influence of the city or the country? This is the vital question which affords the theme of Clyde Fitch's last great play, "The City" in which Hugo B. Koch is soon to appear. With its intense dramatic force "The City" is conceded to be one of the most powerful plays of modern times. Without doubt it is the strongest play ever written by the late Clyde Fitch. The attraction is under the direction of the United Play Company. At the Bowersock theater, Tuesday, December 10.

XMAS GIFTS
To be selected from among 111 Daily Kansan high school reporters scattered throughout the state as the leader for the month of November, was the unique honor conferred this afternoon on Irene Ruggles of Mankato. Judges from the faculty of the department of Journalism awarded her the first prize of five dollars for the best work in the Kansan high school. This is the third Burch of Buffalo and William Jennings Weber of Ellinwood, will receive second and third prizes of three and two dollars. Ten students were given honorable mention.
"Say you will meet me at Lee's."
The judges, in naming Irene Rugges for first honors, pointed out that the stories submitted by her were more varied in interest than those of any other reporter. Unlike many of the correspondents, she did not confine the news sent in to mere reports of athletic contests, but broadened her scope until it took in practically every phase of student work at Mankato.
Files in which to preserve the Daily Kansan will be sent out January first to all high school libraries. Reporters are urged to see that the paper is kept in these files in the building, as but one copy of the paper will be sent to each institution. This replaces the plan carried out last year, of mailing a paper to both the high school and the reporter.

NEW YORK LEGISLATURE MAY
LET STUDIES VOTE.
An amendment to allow students of colleges in New York to vote in state and national elections, has been submitted by Attorney General Thomas Carmody to the legislature. The amendment reads thus:
"Provided that a person qualified, except as to residence, in the county and election district, while a student of any seminary of learning, may vote in an election district in which such seminary is situated and not elsewhere for all officers and upon all questions which may be submitted to the vote of the state, the whole State, and the legislature shall prove to pledge the manner in which, and the time and place at which, such students may vote, and for the return and canvass of their votes in election districts in which they respectively reside."
AGGIES BECOME M. V. C. MEMBERS
ansas State Agriculture School Now in Valley Athletic Circles
The Kansas State Agricultural School was admitted to the Valley Conference at the meeting of the Coaches and Officials of the Conference, at Columbia last Saturday. This was in no way unusual among many followers of athletes of this institution.
The farmer boys have had their eyes on the Conference for some time and have only been waiting for a chance to gain admission. In every line of sport the Aggies have been turning out teams, which though not of Valley champions, still remain to make most of their Conference opponents extend them to win.
The Aggie football teams can well be judged by the showing of the last Lowman aggregation, which beat the Ichabods in such a classy style in the close of the season. In basket-ball last year's team defeated Kansas on the Aggie court, and in base-ball sprang a surprise on Saturday against games. These and many other records go to show the strength of the Manhattan teams.
Coach Lowman, as a result of their admission to the Conference, is trying to arrange games with Missouri and Utah teams in the teams for next year's gridiron schedule.
This ruling concerning the entrance of the Farmers to the Valley Circles, will not go into effect until next September, so that their games this season will be played in court, and baselands will not count as regular conference contests.

M. V. TRACK MEET TO WASHINGTON
St. Louis Gets Big Track Affair After Long Conference Fight
READOPT BASKET-BALL RULES
Coach Hamilton's Interpretation Approved by Conference—No Contact Style of Game to be Played.
The meeting of the Conference officials last Saturday cleared up more than one question in valley Circles, which have been open to dispute. Probably the greatest decision handed down by the meeting was that in regard to the location of the annual Missouri Valley Track Meet. Heretofore Des Moines has had the meet, and the mother-remembered members of the trackkeeping of keeping it but not so with the school's. The fight was won by the southern division, and the next Valley Track Meet will be held at St. Louis, in the Washington stadium.
Kansas City will again draw the annual Missouri-Kansas track meet and this will be held on March 7th. The other meets in which the Kansas track men will compete will be the Missouri-Kansas outdoor games at Lawrence, May 17 and the Nehru-Kansas outdoor games at Lincoln, May 10. In addition to these dates arrangements are being made to hold both an indoor and an outdoor meet with the Aggies, and possibly an indoor meet with Fairmont at Wichita.
Basket Ball Rules Unchanged.
Last year's interpretation of the hask ball rules were again readapted by the Conference with a new debate. This is in itself a battle for Coach Hamilton, who has always been in favor of the no-contact style of play, and has abided by the Conference decision in regard to that question in spite of Coach Stiehman's rather lax enforcement of it.
No arrangements were made by Man
ager Hamilton for renoving basketball
relations with Nebraska. Kansas will
not play the Cornhuskers unless it
should be in the post season games,
because he has not been championship
champions of the northern and southern division of the Valley Conference.
The Kansas basket ball schedule up to date is as follows:
January 18 Washburn at Lawrence.
January 22 and 23 Kansas Aggies at
Kansas.
January 30 and 31—Kansas Aggies at Manhattan.
February 1—Washburn at Topeka.
February 7 and 8—Washington a Lawrence.
February 14 and 15—Missouri at Law rence.
February 28 and March 1—Washing ton at St. Louis.
Football Schedule Nearly Fixed.
Football Schedule Nearly Fixed.
Contrary to the expectation of many persons, no movement was made towards the return of the annual Tiger-Jayhawker struggle to Kansas City. The rest of the games for next year's schedule will be practically the same with the exception that Washington will take the place of Warrensburg on the Kansas schedule. The proposition which will face next year's Jayhawker team will be the stiffest in years. Five conference games and one inter-state contest will be staged. These are as follows:

What the Mill Tax Will Do
It would insure the gradual and proportionate increase of the revenues for education as the value of the property in the state increases, providing automatically the larger means of meeting growing needs.
It would emphasize the insignificance of the cost of education to each individual taxpayer. If he pays taxes on a valuation of $10,000 the mill tax would cost him $10. Would any map question that the presence in the state of three educational institutions, doing an immense amount of state service work, adds not one but many to the value of each thousand dollars worth -f- property that he possesses?
It would relieve the legislator from
one responsibility of the present large total of appropriations, removing from his shoulders the burden $ \alpha $ the entire educational budget of the state. It would also relieve 'him from the' well-meant but sometimes overzealous importunities of the advocates of the various institutions.
It would save the time or legislators who are now compelled to study the intricacies of appropriation bills while occupied with scores of other legislative matters. To understand thoroughly the details of the University appropriation bill alone would require all the time that the ordinary legislator can devote to the duties of the legislative session.
It Would Benefit The State.
By eliminating competition in the procuring of appropriations it would make toward a better co-operation among the various schools, and a consequent increase of efficiency and value to the state.

TEAM WILL CHOOSE NEXT YEAR'S LEADER
Weidlein and Burnham Are Probable Candidates For Captaincy of Squad
At a banquet at the Eldridge house tonight for the 1912 football team, the captain for next year's team will be chosen. This banquet is an annual affair, and is given under the auspices of the Athletic Association.
As far as can be ascertained only two candidates are out for the captaincy. Both of the men are tackles, and both were picked for the mythic All-Misouri-Valley team. Weidline and Burnham have each one more season to play for the Crimson and Blue. Both men are expected to return to school next fall to help round out an "All-Victorious team."
Burnham has played two seasons, and has been a great power in the line. His defensive playing can not be questioned, and he has given the best that he can to do, at all times. He has done much of the punting for this year's team.
Weidline, the mate of Burnham, is one of the best tackles that has represented K. U. in recent years. He is a sure tackler, and his place kicking added many points to K. U's. score this year.
WICHITA IS NOT THE ONLY
TOWN NEEDING HIS HELP.
Prof. Erasmus Haworth, head of the department of Mining Engineering and state geologist, left last night for Wichita, where he will confer with Water Commissioner Campbell, on the question of a better source of water supply for Wichita. Prof. Haworth has been working with the Wichita water problem for almost a year, and has had it very well in hand. He says he thinks he can get the city some very good water. One of the things that many Kansas cities lack, is a good water supply, and the improving of this condition id one of the most important questions with which the State Work Department of the University has to deal
COPYRIGHT QUESTION
BOBS UP ONCE AGAIN
Cruel Hearted Manager Demands More Money from Masque Club
After more than six weeks of rehearsing "The Boy's of Company B," after setting dates for the production of the play, and after arranging for the costumes and scenery the Masque Club may have to give up this play, choose another and have it ready for production by next Tuesday.
This is due to a misunderstanding in regard to the royalty on "The Boys of Company B," between Manager Cain and Jules Murrum of New York City, who owns the copyright to the play, and understood that the royalty was to be $100.
Now comes William B. Wright of Kansas City, who represents Jules Murray, and says that due to the fact that this will be the first time "The Boys of Company B" has ever been produced by amateurs, the royalty will have to be $150. He threats to take the prize provided by Masque Club from staging this play next Tuesday and Wednesday if the $150 is not paid.
FIRST BAND CONCERT WILL
SPRING CLASSICAL TUNES
"We are going to stage 'The Boys of Company B,' declare Manager Cain, and we are not going to pay more than $100 royalty on it. Never before has any amateur performance at the University paid over $25 royalty. We can not afford to pay more than $100 because we have already gone to a theater to play the effervescent for the play, and unless someone serves papers on us, 'The Boys of Company B' will be produced at the Bowersock."

George W. Marble, recently appointed to succeed William Allen White as Regent of the University, will not accept the position. Mr. Marble reached his decision because he believed that his lack of familiarity with University affairs would make him of little service to the school.
In a letter to the Daily Kansan, Mr. Marble states that he regrets exceedingly that he must decline the honor, but is confident that some other man would prove more valuable as a member of the Board of Revents.
"I have a very warm interest in the University," he writes, "and in the development of the young men and women who are students there, but I feel that there are others who would be capable of rendering a much higher service than I could possibly render on the board, who would feel as highly honored as I feel in being proffered the position.
Mr. Marble, who is the editor-pro proprietor of the Fort Scott Tribune-Monitor, was appointed following the resignation of Regent White. Governor Stubbs has not announced who will be named to fill the vacancy.
"I made up my mind to decline the appointment on the Board of Regents because of my lack of familiarity with the University work, and my apprehension that I could be of little or no service on the Board."
STUDENTS MAKE PUBLIC INVESTIGATION RESULTS
The students and fellows of the Department of Physiology, who were conducting special investigations of physiological problems under the direction of Dr. Ida H. Hyde, last year, now have their researches ready for publication. Articles to appear in the leading English and American journals of science.
DEAN MARVIN,

CO-ED AND STUDENT SLIP OFF
AND ARE TIED FOR LIFE NOW
Sophomore in College and Junior Engineer, Married in Kansas City, Will Continue College Education.
Miss Ethel Melvilde of Pittsburg, a sophomore in the college, and Clarence S. Clarke of Joplin, Missouri, a junior engineer, sprang a surprise on their friends Friday by sliding off to Kansas City and getting married. The marriage is the culmination of an acquaintance which began during the present school year.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Clarke say that they do not intend to let such a trifling circumstance as a wedding interfere with their respective educations, but they are ready to go on through school. They are now at home at 1825 Kentucky street.
WILL DO ENROLLING NOW IN SINGLE DAY
System Similar to That Illinois in Effect Next
Semester
"Less complication and more speed," the slogan of the administration in adopting a new system of enrollment at the opening of the second semester.
"By the new system we will be enabled to do the entire work of enrolling on the first day of the semester," said Mrs. C. E. Esterly, secretary to Dean Templin, this morning. "The system resembles the one in use at the university where most students schools where upwards of four thousand students are enrolled in two days."
Under the proposed plan instructors will bear a much more important part in the work of enrolling students than heretofore, and will have a chance to know the applicant's qualifications for course he desires to pursue under them.
The student will first make out a list of the courses he wishes to take, together with the hour at which he wishes them to come. This he will present to his adviser for approval. After the adviser's signature is affixed, he will take the card to a long table at the south end of the gym, where the instructors of the departments will be seated in the order that their courses appear on the schedule. The instructor will guide him in each course by the instructor under whom he is to have the subjects.
The instructor will thus have a chance to know who is enrolling under him, and to make objections to the student's entering the class if he knows him to be unfit for the work, instead of being able to wait until he has enclosed them and then to have him dump the course, as is the case under the present system.
UNIVERSITY TO HELP CITY.
That The University will help Lawrence get Commission Government, was shown by the large attendance of the faculty members at a mass meeting held last night in Central High School. It was the first time an adoption of Commission Government.
Speeches were made by D. J. Brady, Prof. C. A. Dykstra, Dr. W. J. Baumgartner, Prof. R. R. Price, Rev. Stauffer, Prof. F. Walker, Henry Albach.
Supt, F. P. Smith acted as chairman
meeting, and Prof. John H. Van
damerow
A resolution was passed to work in favor of Commission Government. Prof. R. R. Price was appointed chairman of the commission, so that an election might be held soon.
WELL, AFTER ALL, WHO
ENJOYED BEING A CAMEL
Pure water from the four Fraser Hall cisterns will be placed tomorrow in coolers in all University buildings for drinking purposes. The HtwoO has been analyzed by University experts, and the data are freely free from all dangerous biotics.
On account of a state law, which prohibits the public drinking cup, students who wish to imbibe must carry their own gobbles.

STUDENTS VOTE FOR EXPOSITION SCHEME
Adopt Plau for Holding Miniature World's Fair By flanimous Vote
WEEDE ELECTED PRESIDENT
Bodman and Wingart Chosen as Other
mittees to be Named Soon.
By a unanimous vote, the student body of the University voted to have a University Exposition, when the Chancellor put the question before the school this morning at a special mass meeting held in chapel.
Following the acceptance of the plan President Coats took charge of the meeting, and officers of the Exposition were elected as follows: President, Orlin E. Weed; Vice-president, Russel Bodman; Secretary-treasurer, Wawrey Wineart
In his introductory speech Chancellor Strong gave several reasons why we should have the Exposition.
"The Exposition will enable departments and students to get into closer touch with one another, with great help to explain what they are thinking, what the other fellow's work is about."
In addition, the Chancellor pointed out the fact that Manhattan has a bank, and that Wisconsin has had a very successful Exposition on the same plan.
"A greater reason why we should have an Exposition is that many people are inclined to think we here at the University are not practical—that we teach only theory. I believe an Exposition such as the one beimg planned will dispel that idea from the minds of the people of the state."
In order to give double value to the Exposition and enable as many people as possible to attend it, an effort will be made to have the annual May Fete, High School Day, Parents' Day, and High School all held at the same time.
THIRTEEN K'S GRANTED
Board Gives Smaller Numder of Sweaters This Year Than Last
At a meeting of the Athletic Board *a*esterday afternoon in Fraser Hall, thirteen men were awarded the variety B. Brownlee, Burnham, Tudor, B. Brownlee, Groft, Weldline, Price, Wilson, Detwiler, Coolidge, McGuire, and Parker.
This is the smallest number of "Ks" that have been granted in a number of seasons. The reason for this is that the conference rules in regard to the granting of letters were changed last year. Every man who received a letter had to play five quarters, and three of these must be in a conference game.
PROFS RING BULLSEYES JUST LIKE STUDENTS DO.
Some of our professors have become excellent marksmans with the rider by means of the recently formed club for the Masonic gymnasium, regularly in the Robinson Gymnasium.
The membership of the club has been rapidly increasing in the two weeks of its existence and now numbers fifty, including many students of the University. The club has been divided into six divisions, one practicing each week from 7:00 to 9:00 and on Saturday afternoons from 2:00 to 5:00 o'clock.
Many of the students have already been shooting in prize form, making a score of 80 standing. The club is increasing in popularity since the purchase of a new rifle, and good work is expected from the men from now on.
Oreads Will Have Student Council
Oread High School adopted a constitution modified after that of the University last Friday morning at a meeting of the student body. The constitution is a step in the advancement of the school.
A significant feature of the constitution was an article which provided for the organization of a student council which shall have power over the student body at all times.

Man is measured by deeds, not by inches.—From the Chinese.
ROUGH HOUSE TACTICS
A theatre is a place where a bunch of students go to throw programs, give vent to their college spirit. Sometimes "college students" even go as far as to rush upon the stage, stop the performance and do violence to the actors. This has not happened at the Bowersock theatre as yet, although it has been approached to a very narrow margin.
The other evening a splendid production was marred time and again by some faciotic person and his associates, who insisted they had paid the price of admission to the opera house for the purpose of their individual sport. And to have this sport they made neat little arrows out of programs and waste paper which they sailed at persons or onto the stage. Of course this was perfectly all right. It did not trouble anyone, and when a particular arrow happened to hit a particular person on the head, the "hurler of the weapon" and his associates set up a lugubrious howl. This added a great deal to the pleasure of those who attended the theatre for entertainment. The humor was so virile and pure that women and children alike laughed heartily at the College Man's attempts at fun.
Another thing which the sophisticated student did for those who wanted to enjoy the performance in a civilized manner, was to interpolate cries and remarks during the silent and dark effects. The efforts of the most obliqued lads were appreciated to the fullest degree by all as the time, during these effects which the stage manager had so carefully worked out, would have been lifeless only for the action of the students.
The theatre is a place for entertainment, not a rough house.
Those who go to the theatre for circus sport are to be excused. They probably have not had the opportunities of others. Perhaps they come from small communities which do not support opera houses. One never can talk about such things, and takes time for instincts of good breeding to stamp themselves upon growing students' character.
Regent Marble should prove helpful as a Builder of a greater University.
FRESHMEN, BE ALIVE.
The football smoker proved to be one of the headline attractions of the sporting season last year. More than 400 men enjoyed the event, which was the first of the kind in the school, and by so done honored men who made the football season a success. On Wednesday night of this week the second chance to do this honor for the men, who took bruises and broken bones for the glory of Kansas, will come.
To the freshmen who know not what is in store for them when they attend the smoker, we can say that the event will be entertaining, will be instructive, will be inspiring and will be filling. The last, of course refers to the "eats," which always make a hit.
The entertainment this year will surpass that of last year we are assured.
The K's will be awarded, Chancellor Strong and Manager Hamilton will speak, and there will be plenty of good clean Kansas spirit shown. The man who does not attend the smoker will find himself a "has been."
To try to study on Wednesday night when all your fellow "pals" are enjoying themselves at Fraternal Aid hall, would be folly. It would be waste of time, for what can a fitting mind absorb. With visions of *yellow*, good speeches, clever "stunts," and an appetizing lunch, what could a normal student do? Nothing, but dream over his books. Of course if you are a "dig," one who does not appreciate the worth of intercourse with friends or the social aspects of the school, you will have no trouble in keeping your nose to the printed lines and your mind full of knots, which never will be united until you have learned the art o "mixing."
Those freshmen who have not bought their tickets for the smoker are not urged to buy. They are hopeless, for if they have not realized already the importance of entering into the spirit of their university life, it is almost too late to urge them on.
Several college text-books are labeled as "Introductions." And like the usual introduction there are always those who fail to catch the name.
SILLY, AIN'T IT?
The professor was giving a lecture on Greek art, and the figures in the room glowed ghost-like in the rays reflected from a screen. The professor tapped the floor impatiently for the next slide, when the operator let it fall to the floor where it broke into a thousand pieces just as a sickly voice from the corner ueried:
"If Ganymede lived today, what would Hebe?"
"Man's sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought." "Indeed!" sneered the hard working stude, as he filled the first half of his quiz book with the simple and touching words of his wan song.
DRONES.
The drone is found throughout the world, wherever one wanders, and from very country of which one hears. indeed, drones seem to be a sort of necessary evil.
Being subject ourselves to acute attacks of laziness, we are not going to denounce the persons who do not like to work. It seems quite the natural thing that one should not like to take up a task. What we are aiming at are those parodies of men and women who will not work under any circumstances.
There is nothing more pitable than he sight of a person drifting along where there is least resistance, seemingly with no power to overcome his natural aginess.
Such a one is as bad as he who has not the will power to curb his bestial appetite. In the scale of worth to the world he is lower.
It is up to you individually to make your own class. If you are naturally industrious you are remarkable, and extremely fortunate. If you are woefully lazy and overcome your laziness, then every respect is due to you; you prove yourself to be a strong man, and one worth while.
But if you give way to your inclinations to take ease and let the other fellows do it all, you are about as worthless as any human specimens that the world produces.

Classify Yourself.
Preaching may be compared to lightning, of which it is said there are three kinds—the flash, the zigzag, and the slant. The flash looks like a pigege at it with wonder. The zigzag is here, and there, and everywhere, darting from cloud to cloud without any apparent object or effect. But the slant sends the bolt through the gnarled oak, and is mighty through God to the pulling down of strong-bolds—Pond.

STUDENT OPINION
Bishop Doane.
HE WOULD'T CUT
While others complain of the inadequate sidewalks, poor lighting, lack of water, and various other grievances. I should like to register a kick against the malicious practice of a certain University professor, who persists in giving quizzes on the last day before the holidays.
Already I have three quizzes to come on that day, and expect as many more. Of course, I understand that the professor wishes to have something to speculate about during vacation, but it seems to me that it is not treating them
Editor Daily Kansan:
exactly fair. On the last day of schoo, the mind of the average student begins to wander from his work to thots of home and mother, and the good dinners he is going to get. So he is hardly capable of exercising to his fullest extent various faculties of "attention," "association," "inhabitation," etc., which he has learned in psychology are necessary to "Recall."
Why, O. Professor, can't you trust the student to stick till the last day and give a few of your quizzes the first or the middle of the week? I believe it would result in less red ink marks and better feeling. And I do not believe a dozen students of the 2500 would take advantage of the fact to cut.

The J. C, H. S, given went through the season victorious, winning every one of the seven games played. The combined score of J. C, H.S, is 193, as compared to the opponents combined score of 32. This string of victories is due, largely, to the excellent coaching given by Dr. Smiley, assisted by Mr. Platt, both of whom were star players on the Washburn gridiron. J. C, H.

"The Per Capita Cost of Students in the Different Colleges and Schools of a University," was the phase of the problems confronting university administration to be discussed by Dean Charles H. Johnston, at the meeting of the National Association of State Universities held in Washington, D. C., recently. Dean Johnston represented Chancellor Frank Strong, who was unable to attend.
"The discussions all centered around three main subjects, Vocational Guidance of the College Man, The Cost of Higher Education, and Partition of Students in University Government," said Dean Johnston this morning. "My topic would come under the second of these heads."
"At present very few universities have their budgets so made that one can determine the cost of any kind of an education. For example, it is practically impossible to estimate the cost of an engineering student in any university, or of a medical student, or of a graduate student, etc. It is also difficult and practically impossible at the present time to compare the cost of the first and second year work with that of the third and fourth year work. Other problems such as the cost of zoology
courses as compared with those in English or other subjects in such a way that one could establish a standpoint of experience that never been thoroughly worked out."

"The purpose of my discussion was to attempt to show how much educational significance attaches to the establishment of an equitable per capita cost. The fictitious cost per capita of a university student, without specification of the kind of course he is taking, tells too little about the differentiated cost within schools and is really valueless. With the help of Professor Josselyn, I have been putting in graphical form a picture of the costs it exists in a typical university budget and thus to demonstrate more clearly the importance of so apportioning university moneys that the per capita cost may be easily ascertained. President Hadley of Yale has made the statement that this question is barely touched upon by university authorities as yet. The whole question is only one of a dozen university issues that are coming up for solution at the present time."

CONTESTS START IN CLASS SERIES
Dope Favors Strong Freshmen Squad-Sophomores Look Like Dark Horses
The inter-class football series began this afternoon with the freshmen playing the sophomores, while the juniors struggle against the seniors tomorrow. A large crowd was present, and unusual interest was shown by the students.
The freshmen start the series with quite an advantage over the rest of the teams, because most of them have been playing football all season. However, the sophomores and juniors loom up as worthy opponents for the wiley freshmen, as there are some players on both of the teams. The freshmen look so strong as the rest of the teams, and the dope is altogether against them.
Price and Wilson, coaching the seniors, have had a hard time to get enough men out for one team, and the men have had no scrimmage at all. Weidlin is all smiles about the junior team and expects to make a cleanup. The sophomores look as if they might spring a surprise on the freshmen. There has been quite a little spying on the part of all the teams, but the freshmen have had their eyes on the practice of the second year men all week. Occasionally a freshman would stay around and try to watch the sophs practice some of the pet plays, but the substitutes would look cross-eyed at the unwelcome visitor, and he would move on.
No lineup has been announced by any of the coaches, but every man who is out in a uniform will probably be given a chance to show the coaches what he can do.
CAMP PICKS TEAM Butler of Wisconsin Only Western Player on All-American Squad
Walter Camp, the head of the athletics at Yale, has picked his All-American football team.
The team this year presents an unusually strong lineup. The picking of an "All" team is a hard matter, and some people on the second team are as good as those on the first team, but someone must be placed on the first team, and in this matter Mr. Camp has used his own judgement.
The team as picked by Mr. Camp is
It seems as if Mr. Camp has picked the strongest line-up possible from all the college teams. He gives three Harvard men places on his first team, while Yale, the runners-up, gives two places, Butler, of Wisconsin, is the only western man to get a place on the team. He is given a tackle position.
as follows:
- End-Felton, Harvard;
- Tackle-Englehorn, Dartmouth;

Museum Gets Valuable Specimens
A collection of rare specimens gathered last summer by Professor W. R. B. Robertson, of the department of biology of the University in the Bermudas and Jamaica, arrived last week, and were placed in the store room of Snow Hall preparatory to being placed in the display room.
The collection contains many fine specimens of AmpHIxus, snails, and periputus, besides many other exceedingly rare specimens. In all there are 150 specimens in the collection. The collection is a very valuable addition to the biological museum.
Harvard Asks For Outlines.
The Harvard Natural History Society sent a request to the department of Zoology of the University, last week, asking for an outline of the course in field Zoology, which is given here. Harvard is about to establish a course in zoology, and is being taken from all schools which are giving it, as to the amount of time which should be given to it, the nature of the work, etc.
Prof. Edward Baumgartener, of the department of Biology, has answered the letter and had given various suggestions.

FRESHMEN TO HOLD FOOTBALL GAMES ARE INTER-SCHOOL SERIES NOW VERY LADY LIKE
Coach Frank Divides Sqn According To School Ranking for Series
"Freshmen trying out for the Freshmen basket ball team will be given a fair chance to show their ability this year," is the statement of Coach Frank, head mentor of that aggregation. This season, instead of picking a regular squad after a few weeks practice, the coach will give every man a chance to play at least a month on one of the teams.
The candidates trying out will be divided into College, Pharmies, Law, and Engineer aggregations, and a series of games will be played between the different schools. This series will determine which colleges it is essential that the various players should get out the remaining nights before the vacation and limber up.
To the winners of this series a silver loving cup will be presented. It is the intention of the management to make an annual affair. The regular Freshmen team will then be picked from these teams at the conclusion of the series, and will play a series of games with the College team.
WANT AD BRINGS BACK
WANDERING MACKINAW
Some people are born wise, others achieve wisdom in various ways, and one stude had the foresight to insert the following want ad in Friday's Kansan:
"Person who took red and black mackinaw from cloakroom of engineering building is known. Return by Monday and save trouble."
Precisely at 5:18 Saturday morning, the cook at the Alpha Tau Omega house opened the back door to—well she forgot exactly what she did open it for, after she bled that heap of back reposing calmly on the rear stoop.
It is still a mystery how the person who acted after reading that ad managed to insert the words “to the Alpha Tau Omega house” in it, which stern economy had forced the writer, tomit. There's a moral.

The pictures will be given to the students and faculty. The supply is very limited.

Old Time Players makes Game Less Interesting Say New Style
Many of the old players who won their football glory in the time when mass plays and brute strength were the predominant factors in winning a game, have been wont to criticize new style of play. In this they have made the charge that the new game does away with a good bit of the real interest, the majority of football players are well satisfied with the new charges.
It is noticeable in this connection, that there was not one death due to college football during the past season. This marks an epoch in football that should decrease some of the newspaper articles; the great college game has received.
This is due not only to the new rules, but also to the superior playing of the contestants of the present season's eleven. Most of the big games were free from injury. Such games as the Missouri-Kansas, Harvard-Yale, Chicago-Minnesota, Harvard-Princeton, Carlsbad-Pennsylvania, and Army-Navy game were played in most the most casual conditions. But few players were taken out, and their removal was due either to poor playing or in order to receive a rest.
The Kansas-Missouri game furnished one of the best examples of the season. Time was only taken out twice during the whole contest, and not one player was removed on account of lack of condition or indifferent playing.

EIGHT SCHOOLS WILL CHOOSE COMMITTEES
NUMBER 6.
Will Hold Elections Tomor row to Effect an Organization for Exposition
BOARD TO HAVE SUPERVISION
Will Direct Students' Exhibitions a Miniature World's Fair to be Held on Campus.
The school committees of the University Exposition will be elected to tomorrow morning at ten o'clock.
It will be the duty of the School Committees which will be elected by the various schools to see that their respective schools are represented to the very best advantage at the University Exposition. The affairs of the school will be almost altogether in the hands of these School Committees. The chairmen of the School Committees will be members of the executive board, which will have general supervision over the Exposition, insofar as the students are interested in the Exposition.
Th call for the election was issued this morning by Orlin A. Weede, president of the Exposition, and provides that committee of five members each be elected by the College, the Graduate School, the School of Engineering, the School of Law, the School of Fine Arts, the School of Medicine, the School of Pharmacy, and the School of Education. The elections will be held in the buildings of the different schools.
Mr. Weed desires that the committees elected meet to choose their chairmen as soon as possible, as the chairmen of the respective school committees are members of the Executive Board.
The president of the Exposition, two members of the executive board, selected by the board from its members, three faculty members, and the Chancellor, will compose what shall be known as the joint board, which will adjust everything of both faculty and student concern.
DANISH VIOLINIST
SHOWS RUGGED VIGOR
Skovgarrd and assistaut please Large Audience in Fine Arts Concert
Though suffering from a severe two weeks' attack of bronchitis which left him weak and unable to speak, Alex Skovgaard, the Danish violinist, assisted my Mme. Mary Heness, soprano, and Miss McLoung, pianist, neverless gave his concert in fell last night in Fraser hall.
"Tallahassee," by Cyril Scott, an Englishman, was designated to typi- American music through imitating native genius of negro melody.
The most conspicuous characteristics of Skovgård's playing were the rugged vigor and virgile swing with which he handled his selections, which are shown in the opening Sonata by Sjorgen and in his own composition.
It is interesting to note that Scott has never been in America, and wrote his music only on what he knew of America from a friend's letters.
Miss McClung made a very pleasant impression with the Bachsusoni Tocatta and its encore, a wedding march by Grieg. Mme. Henness was most effective in her presentation of Verdí's "Aria" and "Oh Dry Those Tears" with violin accompaniment by Skovrarr.
The valuable Stradivarius which Skovgård used in his concert was a source of great interest. The unusual singing quality of its tone was especially noticeable in the lower and middle registers. According to Miss McClung, no one ever touches the violin but Skovgård himself, and the big Dane guards the instrument every moment, never letting it out of his sight. He got it from the British Museum, where it landed after passing through a very interesting life.
SHIVERING STUDENTS CRY FOR CAFETERIA
Prospects of Boreal Winds and Slippery Adams Street Provoke Petition
The hungry studes have already begun to miss their old friend, the Cafeteria.
Blustery weather and foul will soon be upon us again, and people are beginning to realize it. Today a petition was started asking the regents to re-establish the cafeteria. Signers were plentiful.
The cafeteria was discontinued this fall partly because Dr. Day, director of the Home Economics department, needed its rooms for a sewing class. The matter of its permanent maintenance was also referred to the Alumni Association at its annual meeting last spring, but no great interest was shown in favor of re-establishment.
"The regents were in favor of again starting the cafeteria this year," said L. N. Flint, secretary of the Alumni Association, this morning. "Chancellor Strong and Secretary Brown made a search in the buildings for suitable rooms, but failed to find any.
"It was then left to the Alumni Association to act on the matter of furnishing a temporary structure in which to house the enterprise. In order to find out whether or not student support would justify such a proceeding we inserted a coupon in the Daily Kansan for several days, to be filled out and dropped in any café where they had been any day who was in favor of the cafeteria's being continued this year." Only three replies were received. Consequently we did not fel justified in working for the project.
"Personally, I am heartily in favor of the plan to begin again start a lunch room on the campus, and I believe if the students will let it be known that they want it, it will be put into operation."

To add another Oriental touch to the meeting, those who wish to attend will be tagged on the campus today with artistic hand-painted
Tea will be served by girls in Japanese costumes, and Japanese prints and curios, imported from Tokio for the occasion, will be displayed.
ADOPT CONSTITUTION
County Clubs Choose Laws by Which They Shall be Governed.
At a meeting of the Central Organization of County Clubs yesterday afternoon a constitution was read and adopted by the club. This constitution will go into effect after it has been published in the Daily Kansas. About twenty counties were represented at this meeting.
The next meeting will be held Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 and business of greatest importance will be taken up. It is therefore advantageous for every county to have its club organized before that time and to have its representatives present at this meeting.
Mr. "Jake" McCall of Wichita, who has been the guest of Henry Moore at Sigma Nu house for several weeks, has returned home.
STRANGE THAT ALL THE CO-EDS WERE DATED UP
Some people are born generous, some achieve it through the contrast presented by their fellow men, and one freshman showed he had it aplenty by calling up three different girls in a vain attempt to make a date for the football smokeon tonight.

"Hello, is this Gladys? This is Earl."
"Quite well, thank you. Busy tonight?"

Gym Instructor Offered Goo Place as Director on Chicago Playgrounds
C. B. Root, instructor in the department of physical education, has received a call from the Chicago South Side Playground Association to direct one of the playgrounds there. He will not accept, although he passed an examination while in Chicago last summer which made him eligible for the position.
As director of one of the playgrounds Mr. Root would have had outdoors work most of the season. Incidentally, Chicago has one of the most extensive systems of recreation in the world. The state has complete control, a bi-partisan board governs the system, and it has been so successful that a movement started in Kansas City to establish such a system there has made rapid strides.

Chemists to Attend Banquet.
Campbell Lectures on Lessing Prof. J. A. Campbell of the German department gave an illustrated lecture this week to the Deutscher Verein on the subject of "Lessing the Poet and Dramatist."
Professor Campbell spent several years in college with writings that concern the poet's life and the von Barnheim" collection is unique.
Miss Reynolds of the Fine Arts school sang three German songs at the close of the lecture.
"What makes you think there won't be any girls there."
The strains of the lifting melody floated faintly out on the evening air as the Hungry Stude, swaying his shoulders unconsciously, entered the little restaurant. Shuffling along, he elevated his clavicles in perfect unison with the tinkling rhythm of the piano that fed lavishly on the nickels of the "rag" loving customers of the place.
"Well, I didn't expect you to smoke; but you can watch the stunts."
"What have you girls got on for Wednesday night anyway? You're the third one I've called up tonight and none of the girls seem to want to go."
There's a reason and a psychological one at that. Listen.
"Suggestive as the lyrics of our popular songs are, the music is even more so," says Prof. Wort S. Morse of the School of Fine Arts.
"Take for instance, the piece, 'O,
Mistah Dream Man.' The sinuous
"O, Mistah Dream Man, Please let me dream some more—
"Although it is true that there is very little beauty in the melody of the songs, still there is a certain swing and rhythm in the music which has caused the people to take to it.
He seated himself and looked about. Everybody was "doin' it." Even the waiters slipped around with the same swaying movement. Why? For the same reason that the whole country does it.
Just like the dream I ___"
Tickets For 1913 Jayhawker Now on Sale by Senior Financial
FUNNY WE NEVER THOUGHT IT PSYCHOLOGICAL BEFORE
Financiers
"We are going to put out fully as good a book as the 1912 Jayhawker," declared Asher Hobson, manager of the Annual, "but I feel that the student body of the University must have been year that it is ready to support a book or class book or in future years it must demand a book superior to those published at other state institutions in the Missouri Valley."
Prof. Carl A. Preyer, with a new original composition will be the attraction instead of Mr. Smith. Miss Maude B. Cook will act as accompanist for Professor Preyer. Professor Preyer played his concerttuck in Kansas City last week with the Kansas Symphony Orchestra, and made a big hit.
PROFESSOR PREYER WILL
PLAY AT FRIDAY CHAPEL
Judge Smith of the Supreme Court will not be able to speak in chapel Friday on account of illness.
"The committee has met with success thus far," said Frank Carson chairman, this afternoon. "A thorough canvass of the student body will be made. The work will be completed as soon as possible in order that the manager of the Annual may know what to count or from the students. The fifty cent reduction should prove a substantia argument in favor of early purchase."
The finance committee of the sen-
or class is now selling tickets for
the annual which will appear next
pring. The amount charged for a
icket is $2.50. After February 1
he price will be $3.00.
The contract for the 1913 Jay-hawker was let yesterday to the Union Bank Note company of Kansas City, who also published last year's annual, according to Asher Hobson, business manager of the annual.
rhythm and cadence of the music in that piece are far more demoralizing than the words. The same is true of the majority of the popular 'rags' with which the country is flooded.
"There is something about that type of music that very few people can resist, and it is not uncommon to see persons who are normally staid and serious swaying unknowingly when one of these pieces is played. I write such music is an artist, for no other artist could produce such result."
So there you are. It's the demoralizing music; therefore the reformers should go after the music writers. They are the real cause of the war and if the reformers would restore the young people the old stately dances that the forbears enjoyed so much they music do something with the melody men.
But it can't be helped. It's the psychological effect of syncopated melody. We are powerless in the grasp of the rag-time composer.
But the "rag" is with us. The formations hammer-locks and death-grips used by the terpischorean devotees of the old school are tabooed. "Mistah Brown" and his "rag-time" "violin" in full possession.
PRELIMINARY TRYOUT FORTUNATE THE MAN FOR DEBATORS TODAY WHO HAS A BLUE TAG
Fifty Men Expected at Firs Speech-Making for Oratory Squad
Fifty men are expected to attend he first debating tryout to be held in room 313, Fraser hall, at 3:30 thirtime.
Six minutes will be allowed for each speech. A dozen men will be chosen for finals for the debating squad who will hold an elimination tryout next Wednesday. From this散兵担阵 for the Oklahoma Missouri, and Colorado contests will be chosen.
Debating relations with Oklahoma, which were somewhat strained for a while this fall, have been amicably resumed. South Dakota and Iowa, who wrote in for debates, will not be met this year.
Minor, Wilbur, Carson, and other members of last year's debating squau will be out for the team and will undoubtedly be strong contenders for places on the regular squau.
"The question on competition offers a fine opportunity for someone to argue Socialism," said Emmett Bennett, president of the Debating prospects in speaking of the prospects for the future if they would like nothing better than to have someone present the Socialists' side of the argument today."

FOOTBALL STAR DIGS DIRT
FOR NEW ADM. FOUNDATION
About 1300 cubic yards of rock have been taken out of the excavations for the second part of the new administration building and the work is not more than one-fifth done. A force of eighteen men is at work drilling. They are using a steam drill and high crane and a great quantity of earth but do not expect to complete the excavation before the last of March.
This will give some idea of the size of the project and the great addition it will be to the University when completed. It will be by far the largest and finest building on the campus.
"Box" Dahlene, of the all-victorious team of 1908, has charge of the excavating work.
Mechanicals Will Meet.
The Student Section, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, will hold its weekly meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 12, at 1301 Ohio street. E. A. Van Houton will talk on "The Concrete Construction at Keoku. Fairchild and Degen will give magazine reports.
Democrats Will Meet
Democrat Will Meet
The Democratic Club of the University of Kansas will meet at the Phi Alpha Delta house Thursday evening at 7:00 o'clock. It is important that every democrat be present as important business will be brought up.

JOE BISHOP INJURED BY
FALL DURING REHEARSAL
Joe Bishop sprained his wrist in the rehearsal of "The Boys of Company B" by the Masque Club in the Dick building last night. He is the principal in a blanket-tossing scene in the third act and it was while they were rehearsing this scene that the accident happened. Instead of hitting the bucket when he came down he hit the trumpet and the result was a sprained wrist. The accident will not prevent his keeping his part in the show as the performance is not given until next Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
THE BLUE BLOSE DIAMOND CAST TO BE NAMED SOON
"The successful competitors for places in the Red Domino play, 'The Blue Rose Diamond', will not be announced until Friday," said Manager Campion this morning. "There is so much good material to pick from that it is hard to decide just what people will fit the characters best." "There will be a rehearsal for the chorus Thursday night, but as yet we have not definitely decided on the personnel."
Former Students to Wed.
Miss Blanche Benedict and Mr. Walter Varmum, two former students of K. U. will be married at the home bride in Lawrence this evening. The School of Pharmacy in 1910 and is now with Woodward & Co., in this city.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11.
One discouragement to those who would be great is the fact that when greatness is achieved, admiring friends will insist on telling how worthless and lazy the person was when in college.
The public is the poorest master of all.—From the Chinese.
Coach Frank's boxing class is on in full blast. The young Kansas pugilists get a whack at noses every day now. It is hoped that no Wolgasts or Ritchies will develop. How shocking it would be to our critics.
IN THE DARK
In a communication yesterday,
"A Common Stude" voiced the sentiments of a great many students as regards the giving of quizzes on the day immediately preceding a holiday.
We are going to keep our actual thoughts as to the merits of this nefarious custom in the dark. We will, however, go so far as to say that it is barbarous and cruel, extremely so, and that the professor who infiltrs a quiz at such a critical time, when the students thoughts are flitting towards home and away from boarding house fare, that professor should be shunned. At the end of his courses lie flunks.
Since the linotype has been broken, and the monotype has been getting out the paper, the Daily Kansan can no longer claim to be a dry sheet.
DO WE MEAN IT?
The plan for a University Exposition received the unanimous approval of the students in chapel yesterday morning, and considerable enthusiasm was shown by everyone. The students believe that the plan is a good one, and that it will work out to a successful conclusion. The question is this? Do the students mean it when they say that they will get behind this Exposition and work for it in harmony with its directors and in harmony with the different schools?
If we do not mean that we are willing to take up the work and give it our earnest efforts, then a poor step has been taken. But on the other hand, if we do get busy and exert ourselves, we will make old K. U. known and respected in circles that hitherto have had a rather poor opinion of her.
That is one side of the question. There is another side and it is one that will, or one that should, keep every student's interest and bring from him his best efforts. That is the Kansas Spirit.
Kansas breeds no quitters. A quitter has no place here. The Exposition has been started and the students are bound in honor to keep up the reputation that they have inherited through the work of those who are now alumni.
There must be no shirking as con-
sorted action is necessary. There must be no jealousies as this must be a University affair, not a sectional one of any department or certain portion. There should, however, be friendly rivalry between the different departments of the institution in order that each do itself credit.
What remains to be done is the completion of the organization and plans in detail from the departments. This done and the work of the students really begins.
And when it does, it is up to us to make good on our statement yesterday morning. If not, the brand of quitter, that sign of yellowness will be applicable to us. Do we mean it, when we say we will work?
Nine days more until vacation begins. Consequently the library is being overworked.
If all shows come during the week end, there would be more agitation to suspend the week night date rule.
Tenight is the big night—the night of the football smoker. The management announce that over 550 will attend, and that those without tags may be turned away because of lack of preparation for them.
SLANG PEEEVES THEM ALL
In another column the Campus gladly publishes a letter in criticism from one of O. U.'s most prominent and respected alumni. In the communication the Campus is summarily arraigned before the bar of literature, indicted on the charge of "murdering English," and is condemned to "cut out" the slang from the copy of the prosecuting witness. With the judgment as rendered, the Campus cannot seriously complain. If it has been so "recerent to its sacred trust" as to allow expressions of slang to appear in its legitimate news articles without the formality of quotation marks, it must humbly beg it readers' several pardons and pray for mercy.
That it is in the habit of maliciously murdering English in its regular news articles more than any other newspapers, the Campus cannot believe. However, it is quite possible that criticism may be directed against some reading matter in the Campus which will not fall in this category of "regular news." If it is the "feature" stories that are objected to, the Campus must plead guilty and announce its firm intention to "do it again" as soon as it gets the chance.
The "feature" stories as they have been published in the Campus this year, are usually based on facts which possess an interest of peculiar character for a large part of the Campus subscribers. In their published form they are frankly and plainly "features" and worth printing only for the cleverness and wit with which they are written up. And those slang expressions which are of ideas in metaphorical relationships form one of the most effective means of giving the desired effectiveness (how we miss the word, "punch?") to the story.
Wit may not be literature, but it is a mighty important element in American life. The variety produced by the young men on the Campus may not come up to the Mark Twain article, but at least it produces the laugh. However shocked the patron saint of English grammar may be, the "feature" stories are the most widely read portions of the weekly issue, and with all due respect to subscribers who may not like it, the Campus begs to say that they may read the rest of the paper if they fear that their language will degenerate—Ottawa Campus.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS
OF WISE OLD BOYS
If anyone should give me a dish of sand and tell me there were particles of iron in it, I might look for them with my clumsy fingers, and be unable to detect them; but let me take a magnet and sweep through it, and would it draw to itself if we had more power of attraction? The unthankful heart like my finger in the sand, discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through it without iron, so it will find in every hour some heavenly bessings; only the iron in God's hand is gold.

LONG LIVE THE CUB
Permit me to register a "kick." I would like to know the why and whereof in the two articles side by side in Monday's Kansas, entitled respectively, "Now istge Tumme Fpr ALI goDm Mn," and "Grip Epidemic Now Raging in our Mist?" Is either of them particularly educational, or do they contain any news? It certainly looks to me like the cub reporter had "put one over" the managing editor.

BRAMWELL TO HEAD NEXT YEARS ELEVEN
Aggressive Center Chosen To Lead 1913 Squad of Grtdiron Warriors
WEIDLINE OTHER CANDIDATE
New Captain Declares Next Season's Aggregation Will Rival Ever-Victorious Team of 1908
Willis Bramwell, a two year "K" man was the choice of the Kansas team last night for next season's captaincy. This was somewhat of a surprise to the majority of football followers as up to yesterday but two candidates, Weldline and Burnham, were in the field. In the election, Weldline was appointed only by Weldline, Burnham withdrawing from the contest.
It is doubtful whether the squad could have picked a better man for the position than Bramwell as he is one of the most reliable men on the team. Next season will be Bramwell's last year on the gridiron.
In addition to being a good man for almost any position in the line Bramwell is a wonderful defensive and offensive player at center. His ability as a fighter is well demonstrated in the remarks of "Tiny" Allen, 226 pound Nebraska center, who was named the best posing "Bram" delcared, "that Bramwell was the biggest little man he had ever tackled."
In fact most of the Kansas rooters were satisfied that Bramwell was too big for this same husky Nebraskan.
Speaches were given by the coaches and the two captains and the 1912 team concluded the evening by a concert oforious aggregation for next year.
Official announcement of the "Ks" will be made at the football smoker in

Edwards and Taune are the regulars while Craig and Bernet who were on the squad last year are also out. Groves, a star of last year, and Shepard have been injured, and five have refused to come out because football has put them back in their studies.
The aquad has been narrowed down to twelve by O. F. Field, the coach and work is on in earnest. Sixteen games will probably be scheduled and the team will probably make a northern flank. The number of good men have joined the squad who were on the Freshman five last year.
MICHIGAN ENDOWMENT
$25,000,000-NOT $7,200
Says the Michigan Alumnus: "At present, Michigan's total income when capitalized conservatively represents an endowment of about $25,000,000. This is over and above the value of the buildings and equipment, which was estimated at almost $3,500,000 in the inventory of the university is that the universities of the twentieth century must think in millions as those of the nineteenth century thought in hundreds of thousands.

Ober's HEAD TO FOOT OUTFITTERS
PLAYS GAME IN SLEEP
Wilson, Kicker, Ends Slumbers on a Gridiron All His Own
One of the post-season football stories is told on "Buster" Coolidge and "Bun" Wilson.
A few nights before the Missouri game these two men were sleeping together. Everything was quiet and both were resting peacefully when suddenly 'Buster' was awakened by "Bun" grabbing him about the neck. He held on tightly for an instant and almost choked "Buster." Then he let go. Everything quieted down again.
But again "Bur" made a high tackle and again loosened his grip. Coolidge, in order not to disturb Wilson, turned end for end in the bed. Now Buster was sure that they could both sleep peacefully.
But on the very next play Wilson decided to punt. It was one of those fifty yard spirals at that. Time had taken out to care for the injured.
When the game was resumed, Coolidge had left the field and "Bun" Wilson, the K. U. quarterback, play on the game on a gridiron all his own.

In the first game of the interclass series played yesterday afternoon on McCook field, the freshmen walloped the sophomores. The score was 12 to 4.
Series
In the first half the freshmen outplayed the sophomores altogether, but in the second half after being lectured by Milton and Helern, the second year men came back and scored two safeties on the tyres. Gadani and Cort scored the touchdowns for the freshman. Both tries at goal failed.
The freshmen outweighed the sophs ten pounds to a man and time and again plowed through the light second year line. Fisk, Johnson and Reber especially hit the line low and hard. Gadskill at quarterback and Caps at end also played a good game. For the sophomores, Sweeney, Brown and Milton played the best game.
The most spectacular run of the day was made by Fisk just after the kickoff, when he broke through the sophomore line for a seventy-five yard sprint. He was tackled two yards from the goal. Gadkill carried the ball to the next down, then freshman to the rooting bunch. In the last half when it was evident that the tyros would win, Coach Frank, Captain Brownlee, Tudor, Burnham, and Price organized a rooters section and made some

VOLUME X.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 12, 1912
AUDITOR DAVIS ASKS FOR THE MILL TAX
NUMBER 61
Recommends in Annua Report a Business System for State Institutions
"There is a widespread feeling in this state that there ought to be a change in our system of providing means for the maintenance of our educational institutions," says State Auditor, W. E. Davis, in his annual report to the governor, and which goes through the governor to the legislature. "The present plan of direct appropriations by each legislature has an evil aspect which becomes more alarming as the influence and power of these institutions grow."
In his report Mr. Davis sets forth the lines along which the criticism falls. Briefly they are as follows: 1. The scramble of the different boards and heads of institutions for all they can get from the legislature is unseemly and keeps the legislature and the people in a turmoil.
2. The legislature in the brief period of its existence is unable to determine the actual needs of the institutions and sometimes refuses to make that determination and very frequently grants appropriations that ought to be refused.
3. The influence of these institutions through their graduate and student bodies is becoming more and more potent in procuring favorable legislative grants for doubtful purposes.
4. The institutions do not know what funds will be available for any period beyond the existing biennium and are unable to plan for the future.
"These criticisms," said Mr. Davis "are in the main well founded and should be given careful consideration by the legislature. In my judgment there are two things that should be done. First, a single board of three should be created for the management of these institutions. This board should be so constituted that it would in reality be a governing board. Under the present plan the boards of regents give only a few days out of the year to their duties. Necessarily they must rely on the heads of the institutions, who in reality determine all questions affecting the management of the schools under them.
"Secondly, the constitution should be changed to authorize the legislature to levy a direct tax for the support of all state schools. The rate of levy ought not to be subject to change except at intervals of from six to twelve years. Most of the states levy a direct tax for this purpose. The state schools of Illinois receive no appropriations from the legislature, but in every other state so far as my investigations have extended, the direct levy is supplemented by legislative appropriation.
"I am not undertaking to set forth the advantages of the system I suggest over the present plan, for if the legislature decided to go into the matter it will have ample means to inform itself not only as to the advantages of this plan, but also as to others that will no doubt be gesteted. I am fully informed, however, that no plan for a direct levy should be adopted that will place large sums of money at the unrestricted disposition of state schools unless provision is made for a single governing board that will actually take over the management of these schools."
Jackson to Lecture on Food Laws "Foods before and after the enactment of the Pure Food law," will be the subject of a lecture to be given in Snow hall at 2:30 this afternoon by Prof. H. L. Jackson of the chemistry department before Dr. Hyde's class in physiology.
Professor Jackson will take up the condition of foods sold over the country and especially in Kansas before he goes to market. He add the result of that law on the sale and manufacture of foods throughout the whole country.

Plans for another extended trip similar to that of last year are being made and will be announced later. The club will give a concert in Kansas City some time in January.
PRELIMINARY SQUAD WILL
SCRAP FOR FINAL PLACES
Windmill Orators in Six Minute Rounds Lashed Air in Struggle for Chance to Debate.
Shrill tenors piped fiercely, mellow baritones rolled smoothly and profound basses fairly made old Fraser shake yesterday afternoon when in the preliminary tryout some thirty men fought the air in six minute rounds for a place on the Varsity debating squad.
The judges of the contest were Professors Gessell, Dykstra, and Hill. Today Professor Gessell announced the following men as successful in the first tryout: Hoyt, F. Carson, Olney, E. L. Bennett, E. M. Johnson, W. Edwards, F. Beeson, and Hugh Adair.
In addition to these men, the following old men of former teams will be eligible this year for the final tryout to be held next Wednesday: Cale, Carson, Minor, Wilbur, McClellan, Dayas, and Griffin.
The final tryout will be held on the question: "Resolved, that the policy of regulated competition should be adopted by the federal government as a solution of the trust problem," whose results will be allowed to each speaker.
TREGO COUNTY ORGANIZES
TO BOOST FOR UNIVERSITY
Trego county adds another link to the chain of counties in the Central Organization of county clubs. At a meeting of Trego county students recently a county club was organized and will begin immediate work in Trego county for furthering the interests of the University there. The students are Emery R. Ringer; vice president, Harry E. Burnham; secretary and treasurer, Arthur S. Keraus; publicity agent, Andrew J. Groft.
"Trego county students realize the advantages in having an organized county club," said Harry Burnham this morning, "and although we only have a few students here we have organized a club and are certainly glad to get into the Central Organization."
Dean Charles H. Johnson of the School of Education has acquired a wide reputation as a writer on educational problems. This month he will have an article in the report of the National Association of State Universities on "Distributed Per Capita Cost of a University Education."

WILL OTHER PARENTS AID US DESSICATED STUDES?
Twice a week a five-gallon can comes to Lawrence by express from far-off Abilene. No label betrays the contents of the can for if the inhabitants here knew that within it was clear, sparkling aqua purée even before it had been consumed as it is; could not prevent their seizing the prize and carrying it away.
Two hundred miles is rather a long way to go for just plain drinking water, but that is what three students in the University are doing in an effort to escape the brunette liquid that is being swallowed by the majority of people in Lawrence.
The recipients of this semi-weekly treasure are Deane and Frank Ackers and Arthur Stacy, all of Abilene. About a month ago when
CHANGES HOLIDAY REGENTS PREPARE FROM MAY 1 TO 2 THE FINAL BUDGE
the complexion of the bath material became so decidedly swarthy the boys wrote home and told their parents about it.
Mr. Ackers and Mr. Stacy conferred together and arranged for the shipment of some of Abilene's surplus moisture to their suffering sons. When Dean Johnston of the School of Education was lecturing in Abilene recently he was asked about the condition of the water supply. On being told that the conditions were not satisfactory, he would continue sending the water until the end of the school year if necessary.
"I believe that the University is a fine school," he said, "but I do not believe that health should be sacrificed for an education."
Chancellor Grants Vacation
Friday to Allow Two Days for Exposition
Developments are taking place rapidly in the organization of the exposition project. The School Committees of the Schools of Law, Pharmacy and Engineering were elected this morning at the mass meetings held in their respective buildings at chapel time. The other schools will elect tomorrow.
Speculations are already being made as to the nature of the exhibits to be put on by such schools as those of Law and Fine Arts. "It is important that the School of Law will put on a series of trials," said Prof. W.E. Higgins this morning. Others have suggested various things for the schools that cannot exhibit such things as working drawings, and models or pies and cakes."
The May Day holiday has been changed from Thursday, May 1 to Friday, May 2, in order to give two holidays in succession in which to hold the exposition. Engineers' Day is not to be eliminated on account of the exposition as was supposed by some of the flannel shirted brigade. They will have their holiday all to themselves the same as usual.
The committees elected by the schools today are as follows: Law—A. M. Sullivan, H. C. Dolde, H. R. Adair, V. Bottomly, E. P. Miller, W. Warren, J. R. Ebnother, W. P. Barnes, and L. A. Meadows.
The Delta Phi Delta sorority announced this afternoon their annual exhibit and sale of art goods, which will take place from December 19 to 24 inclusive, in one of the downtown stores.
At the engineering school only committeemen were appointed to head each school department, with regular officers to be elected later. Each department is figuring on how they will work with their extreme youth, the agricultural and architectural departments will not be included in this list.
This is the same affair that has become well known under the name of the Palette Club Christmas sale.
The exhibits will include oil and water color pictures, hand painted chalkboards, and watercolors.
ART STUDENTS TO HOLD

Marble, Here, Will Accept
DATE IT 12-12-12 PLEASE
The regents of the University, in session today, are going over the University budget department by department, giving it a final revision before sending it to the state legislature to show the why and wherefore of the money needed to run the University for the next two years.
Position as Regent of the University
George Marble, of the Ft. Scott Tribune, who last week declined the position of regent to fill the place of William Allen White, resigned, has accepted the position and arrived in Lawrence today to assume his duties on the board of regents. He attended his first meeting today and will help pass on the finals of the budget.
The office poet took a chew and straddled his machine, and with determination, started out, to write a peacherine. He clawed his head an instant, then with one short upward glance, at the calendar upon the wall, he took this awful chance. "The sad and solemn march of years, has brought to us, this day, the like of which will ne'er be seen, 'till all of us are clay. This day, a hundred years from now, will see the end of war, and women's clothes, and politics, and other kindred lore. This day, one hundred years from now, some other solemn fool, will write a verse about the thing that caused this silly droll. Just notice it upon the check you have to write today, twelve-twelve-twelve, and—Friday the thirteenth next day."
No statement of the extent of the budget has yet been given out and probably will not until today's session is complete. The board expects to finish its work by tonight.
WHEN YOU ARE THIRSTY
TAKE A TRIP TO WICHIT?
Upon the advice of Erasmus Haworth of the School of Mining, Wichita is going to use artesian well water as a head of the impure water it has now.
"Wichita is foolish to drink the hard water she is now getting when she might just as well have soft water of the best quality," said Professor Haworth in an address before he heard of commissioners of Wichita.
Robert Campbell, commissioner of water and lights, will sink a well about nine miles out of the city at a place recommended by Professor Haworth.
The Equal Suffrage League of the University will meet Friday afternoon to decide whether or not the League will disband, now that suffrage has carried in Kansas.

COLLEGE CLUB MAY DISBAN

PONCE.
COAL SUPPLY SHORT
Not Enough Convict Coal Mined to Supply All State Institutions
There may be an enforced holiday yet before Xmas, if it gets much colder.
Forty tons of coal, nearly a carload, are required each day to furnish the heat for the various University buildings.
"We have about twenty tons on hand now," said J. R. Ulrich, superintendent of the heating plant, this morning. "That's sufficient, but if the weather should turn very cold we would probably run short. The coal is mined by the convicts at Leavenworth, and divided among the state institutions, but they can't get it out fast enough to allow us to keep a supply in reserve. We are getting it at the rate of about a carload a day. A car is about fifty tons, but we burn forty in ordinary weather, such as this. Last winter we burned as high as sixty tons a day."
UNIVERSITY WOMEN SPEND
AFTERNOON IN JAPAN
Lydia Lindsay Tells of Japanese Customs, Dress, and Correct Manner of Serving Tea.
The Japanese tea, given yesterday afternoon in Myers hall by the Y. W. C. A. girls proved exceptionally entertaining, and instructive.
The program given, included a talk on Japanese life by Miss Lydia Lindsey. She wore a Japanese costume that she used, when attending a recent exhibition of the kimona, but did not not have the big Japanese sash.
She initiated the company into the mysteries of tying the sash, which is so complicated, it might be included as one of the Fine Arts. The Japanese girls do not wear these sashes to school, for if they did they could never get to class in time. They spend the money of salves when they wear the money of hats. The real Japanese way of serving tea was also shown.
Miss Hansen told the life story of a Japanese girl she knew.
Those that served tea, and sold prints were in costume.
Miss Frances Powell, and her committee had charge of the meeting. Amie Mallot, and her commit-served ten. About 210 girls att-ended.

'WANT AD" BRINGS RESULTS IN SIXTY-THREE MINUTES
In just sixty-three minutes yesterday evening a want-ad in the Daily Kansan restored a lost watch to its owner.

FOUND-Watch; owner may have same by proving property, etc. See M. Warren at 110 N. 12th St.
1121 Vt. after 6:00 p.m. m. 27.
The Daily Kanman carrier boy left
the office at 5:04. He arrived at the
residence of the owner of the watch
according to the time card he
makes out. The owner was some-
what delayed in reading his paper,
but at 7:20, just sixty-three minutes
after the paper was left at his door
he was at the phone identifying his
property.
Moral—Well, the moral is so plain that he who reads may run.

HAIL, HAIL, THE GANG SURE CONGREGATES
More Thau 700 Howling Studsnts Crowd F.A.A.Hall
At Smoker
"Hail, hail, the gang's all here." The gang, some seven hundred strong, at the football smoker in F. A. A. hall last night broke spontaneously into song from sheer good fellowship. They filled the floor and overflower into the gallery. The speakers who looked into their bright and smiling faces saw them through a thick blue haze, but the applause tendered the orators was substantial and not to be mistaken.
The culmination of the evening came when a score of men, more at home perhaps on the gridiron than on the platform, filed on to the stage to receive the emblems of their prowess. The audience was silent, eager, respectful, while "Uncle Jimmy" with appropriate words presented the letters, and then applauded each one till the walls shook.
The program opened with speeches by Charles M. Coats, Chancellor Strong, Coach Mosse, Assistant Coach Frank, and "Uncle Jimmy" Green, all of whom aroused the enthusiasm of the audience.
"Sam's Dream," a melodramatic lyric burlesque farce, presented by prominent representatives from the Pan-Hellenic sorcerers gave an excellent opportunity for the songster squad to liberate their feelings in song and jest. All felt relieved when they were through.
In the title role of Sam Brown, the football captain who had developed acute indigestion from eating too much fruit salad for supper; 'Pinky' Wingert displayed his dramatic instincts to great advantage; his facial expression showed he was full of energy (or is it Claude?) Sowers, whose impersonation of Shylock was touching to say the least.
During smoke and intermission the University Glee club quartet rendered two little ballads with sympathetic feeling and were recalled to repeat.
In the boxing matches Fowler and Bodington swatted each other and a certain Mr. Dingman, and a certain Maureen, who was knewed, and no one was fatally injured.
The hit of the evening was the senior society of Sachems' presentation of the one act tragedy, "A Night in a Hen House, or Virtue is its Own Reward," which was received enthusiastically.
The committee on arrangements had neglected ot take into consideration the psychology of seven hundred hungry students eager for eat, and there was a good natured stampede. At last every one was filled, or at least satisfied that there were enough students returned to see the last stunt, "K-Nights" presented by the Black Helmets.
The program concluded with a speech by Manager W. O. Hamilton and the presentation of the "K's" by "Uncle Jimmy."
HUNGRY STUDES PETITION
REGENTS FOR CAFETERIA
Hot Noonday Lunches of Last Year Seem to Linger in Mind of Student Body.
The petition for the re-establishment of the cafeteria which a number of students were hungry enough to sign yesterday was submitted to the regents who are in session today. A lunch room on the campus is asked for so those who live some distance can eat a bite on the hill. daintly cooked as was the offerings of the cafeteria, the cost of aforesaid grub to be in reach of economic studies.
There is some question as to the place for the cafeteria since the sewing class now occupies the for-mer room. If they want them they can get away with the eats any place providing they have the chance.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon will give their annual Christmas party on December the nineteenth.

A man should be judged according to influence on others—from the Chinese.
WE'RE WILLING
In a caustic communication yesterday, two stories appearing in the columns of the Daily Kansan were roasted. Good! We like it. But the writer seems to be under the impression that he is the ideal person to hold down the position of managing editor. Now if he will call at the office and demonstrate that he can handle the cubs, if he can do this one thing, we're willing to allow him to take the reins in his hands and "show us up."
Today the student can write 12-12-12 as the date on his letter to the home folks. Those who write this today will not have the chance to write the day, the month and the year in the same manner, until 2010. Then we will be too busy to pay much attention to mundane affairs.
"Will Do Enrolling Now In Single Day," reads a headline. Well that sounds familiar.
ALL IN SHAPE?
How about it, when you leave home for the holidays? That is how about your school work? Got everything in good shape have you, or are you putting it off until you get home and have more leisure?
Better be careful. There are six more school days and then none for two weeks. Which, obviously, is a long time. But how many students will put any part of their vacation into study? Think over what you have done in the past, and get your work up before you leave and you will be taking no chance.
Football may be a lady-like game when it comes to holding, but Sir Percival contends that it cawnt compare with billiards.
Some of the professors have be come excellent marksmen. It is hoped that this shooting craze does not develop into a mania for giving "shot-gun" quizzes.
PEP? WELL, YES.
The football smoker is over but the memory of it will long remain. Last night, over 700 students and faculty members met in Fratern Aid Hall and had the time of their lives.
It wasn't merely a feed and talk fest; it was the Kansas Spirit rampant. And we venture to say that not a person attended who was not glad to be there.
The success of this second annual football smoker makes certain a continuation of the affair. And there is no longer any doubt but that the custom as it now is, is far superior to the formal banquets that have been held in years gone by. Every man seemed to enjoy himself and the cheering was not restricted as it formerly was.
There is no Kansan who. is not
proud of the team. This was shown last night when the majority of the men students paid their fifty cents gladly to do its members honor, and still further shown by the expressions of regret on the part of those who could not be present.
The pep that the students had last night was great. There is no better way to describe it. It was demonstrated clearly that the spirit shown in the week intervening between the Nebraska and Missouri games was not a flash, but that the spirit is there all the while and blazes forth upon occasion.

NOW K. U. SENIORS AND THE JAYHAWKER-
There is an inexplicable tendency on the part of most students to let things "slide" until necessity compels action. That this habitual tendency should be apparent in the underclassman or the Junior is certainly regretable, but in either of these cases we may find some excuse for it. When it comes to the much-esteemed and ever-excaled Senior, there is undoubtedly no excuse for such laxity.
Year after year we hear the same seemingly inevitable appeal from the Liber, liber Seniors to hand in their Liber slips and photos. Without a single exception every Senior class for the last seven or eight years has failed to perform these two simple tasks on time. There is but little need of mentioning the delay which delinquent Seniors cause the printers, or those who are endeavoring to compile the necessary contents of the Liber. The Senior whom others are bound to imitate, should not set such an example to the members of the lower classes. More than this, from the standpoint of punctuality and self-propriety, the Senior should see to it that he performs these duties in the required time. The date, when the Liber slips and photos are due, is here, and immediate response on the part of the Seniors is necessary.
Thus far the class of 1913 cannot be accused of laxity in this respect, but from what has continually occurred in the past, and from the procrastination apparent this year, it seems that the young man who heard were shortly striking its annual querulous note—Brown Daily Herald.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS
OF WISE OLD BOYS
It is only when Time, with reckless hand, has torn out half the leaves from the book of human life that it may be able to recover from day to day, that man begins to see that the leaves which remain are few in number, and to remember, that the book was written at that time, that upon the earlier pages of that book were written stories of happy innocence, which we would have forgotten, the same lieutenant resolution and the inevitable reaction of despair, or else the firm resolve to record upon the leaves that the child has witnessed than the child's story with which the book began—Longfellow.

STUDENT OPINION
A down town paper came out the other day with an article to the effect that seven of our fair co-eds have written to a bachelor's club out at Stockton that they wished to get into communication with the members of it and possibly make brighter a few lives out in that desolate part of the state. What are we going to this? Why do they go so far away to look for suitors? Are there not men right in school who would make good husbands? I know that there are scores of boys here who would like to get acquainted with girls (object matrimony) but they have not had the opportunity. I would like to see a bachelor's club started here.

FEW KNOCKS
Editor Daily Kansan:
The University Exposition has had few knocks, which is somewhat of an exception to an undertaking for the first time. We should congratulate ourselves on being within a student body which is not crabbed, but one which looks upon the favorable and shining side rather than the dark and gloomy. From appearances at this time we will all be boosters instead of 'knackers.' Criticism is certain to make about such an Exposition and every error discovered by the students should be made known at once to those delegated by the students to manage the Exposition, so such errors may be corrected.

Six Reserve K's handed Out Players Receive Words of Praise
of Praise
The official presentation of the K's was announced at the smoker last night. Thirteen men were given the Varsity emblem from the hands of "Uncle Jimmy" Green. The sweaters were not given out because the K sweaters were not ready. "Uncle Jimmy" as he presented the K to each man praised him and thanked him in the name of the University.
Reserve letters were granted to Milton, Rambo, Holiday, Helvern, Wiedemann, Daniels, and Miller. These men received a hand shake from Dean Green and were promised their letters as soon as a suitable design can be finished. This is a new feature which the athletic association inaugurated this season. These letters were awarded to the men beating them, who would handle the ball being able to play in the required number of quarters but still played in some of the most important games.
It is the intention of the Athletic Board to make the awarding of these reserve K's an annual custom. The design for these insignias consists of a small K with a small letter F over the K and a like letter under it, the insignia to read "Kansas Football Team."

Gains Twelve Pounds During Football Season---Claims Worry Did It

Count 'em. This is the increase of
fat Coach Arst St.勒格 Mosse
added to his constitution during the
present football season.
Coach Mosse says that staying awake nights figuring out plays, worrying over the condition of the players, and trying to think how bad Kansas would defeat Missouri might cause any one to become gray haired, but what accounts for the increase in weight?
No doubt the scientists will consult the eccentric Coach and a great scientific evolution may result from the experiment of the Kansas mentor. Coach Mose at the beginning of the season tipped the beam at 191 degrees yesterday when he stepped on the scales the indicator jumped up to 203.
If he can gain 12 pounds during the football season which is only two months long what will be the weight during the remaining months?

Wrestling and Boxing to Raise Curtain on Basket
Freshmen
The game ended with the seniors forcing the ball into the juniors' territory.
Wrestling and boxing promises to break into the lime-light this winter to a greater extent than ever before. In addition to probably sending men to the K. C. A. C. meet, arrangements have been made to hold a meet with Missouri in these branches of athletics.
Billy Price's beef proved too much for William Weidline's scrappers in the junior-senior game yesterday afternoon and the final count was 7 to 0 in favor of the seniors. This means that the next bill in the class series will be between the freshmen and the sophomores for the supremacy of the school.
Then came the fatal fourth quarter when the seniors scored their touchdown on a twenty yard run by Hoffman followed by a line plunge by Schurer. Plank kicked goal making the score 7 to 0.
The game opened with the seniors pounding their way down to the juniors' goal line, on gains by Plank, Rambo and Schurer. The juniors, however, recovered the ball on their five yard line and on a sensational forty yard run by Crawford, carried the back ball into senior territory.
From that point the game was almost evenly played, the juniors making up for their lack of beef by scrappy playing. During the second, third, and fourth quarters the seniors were held for downs, time after time, on their opponents' twenty-five yard line. The call will be made to J. Williams, who reputed toe artist, but his attempts at the goal were all failures, partly due to junior队 sifters, who forced him to hurry his kicks.
The first meet will be held here on the 14th and 15th of February. The different bouts will be staged preliminary to the Missouri-Kansas basket-ball games. The other meet will be held at Missouri and will probably occur when the Kansas goal tossers journey to Tiger town.
JAYHAWKERS WILL
TWIST TIGER'S TOE
For the juniors, Butler, James, Frank and Crawford played the best game. The senior stars were, Rammo, Hoffman, Plank, Schurer, and Tillman. The last two men played on the Lindsborg football team. Both of them will be out next year for the Varsity squad.
The junior line-up consisted of Moore, Butler, Fairchild, Ross, Ulmone, James, Frank, Crawford, Dilmore, Jackson and Crawford. The men would be the senior team were; Rambo, Burk, Tillman, "Fat" Hooch, "Shorty" Tillmann, Share, Butler, Chase, Brown, Hanson, Keplinger, Rhine, Schurer, and Plank; substitutes, Fox, Carpenter, Croan, Eisle, Madlem, and Young.

TO OFFER LOVING CUP
Sachems Will Develop Punters by Giving Trophy to Best Booter
A silver loving cup will be presented annually to the best punter in school by the senior society of Sachems, according to an announcement made last night at the football smoker by Edmund O. Rhodes, president of the organization.
The loving cup will be awarded after a tryout sometime next spring. The regulations governing this contest have not yet been formulated, but we will begin up with a view to developing the best putting ability in school.
Each cup will be engraved with the name of the winner and will become the permanent possession of the champion punter. The names of the winners will be placed in the gymnasium and a permanent record kept.
The aim of the Sachems in establishing this award is to focus more attention upon the kicking among the football men, and to make sure that the best talent of the University along this line is developed.

REGENTS TO ASK HELP ON WATER SITUATION
Will Request Kansas Legislature to Appoint Committee to Investigate Conditions
NEW ENGINEERING COURSES
Delving Civils and Electricals Will Have More Opportunity to Hold Noses to Scholastic Grindstone
As a result of a resolution passed by the Board of Regents in its session here yesterday, the legislature of Kansas will be requested at its next meeting to appoint a special committee to investigate the water situation in Lawrence and the matter of fire protection of the University
A number of other important matters came up and were acted upon. It was decided to place two new five-hour courses on the schedule of the School of Engineering. The petition for the bacteria was read and placed on file.
In addition Miss Emma Bechellt was appointed supervisor of the Bell hospital at Rosedale and the degree of Bachelor of Arts was granted to Mrs. Persons; Margaret D. Darrah, Robert A. Hoffman, and Elmer R. Hoskins.
The new courses in engineering will be a general course in electrical engineering for civil engineers and one in advanced electoral laboratory for senior electrical engineers. Both courses will be offered next semester.
Club Developing Into Strong Organization—Allied With National Association.
UNIVERSITY RIFLE CLUB
ELECT THE OFFICERS
ELECT
The K. U. Rife Club, which is allied with the Niffy Rifle Association, is rapidly developing into an expert organization. The following officers have been appointed for all of the divisions except those meeting Tuesday and Thursday evenings and on Saturday mornings. Monday evening division: A. J. Weith, capitan; A. A. Armage, range judge; Wednesday evening division: U. O. Haworth, captain; U. O. Meridith, range judge; Friday evening division; Mr. Scott, captain and A. Sterling, range judge.
The standings of the teams have been raising steadily and the highest score yet made is 84 standing. A very good ruling has recently been put into effect. It was the outcome of a suggestion made by Professor Harvey who all filled in an ammunition he bearded from the range, found that the smoke cartridges were clogging the guns and making the shooting inaccurate.
UNIVERSITY POSTOFFICE
RECEIVE CHRISTMAS SEALS
The University post office has received a consignment of 2500 of the Red Cross Christmas Seals. These seals are issued every year by the National Tuberculosis society and the money derived from the sale of them is used in the prevention of that disease. They are sold for one cent and can be placed on the back of all mail matter.
The idea of the seals originated about twelve years ago when Jacob Riis, a well known social worker of New York City, received a tuberculosis stamp from Norway. He then wrote an article about the queen looking stamp and it was published in the Outlook. Miss Emily P. Bissell, secretary of the Delaware Red Cross Society, saw the opportunity for its use here in America and started on a campaign to that effect.
Last year 330,000 were sold in the United States and judging from all indication the amount this year exceeded that of all former years.
Judges Liked The Gruh

Prof. W. E. Higgins received a letter of thanks from Judge W. O. Parker of Emporia in which the home economics department was complimented on the quality of the lunchmen served to the visitors at the joint meeting of that judicial societies on last Friday.
COLLEGE COST CLIMBS
Board Rates Have Doubled in Last Twenty
Years
Registrar G. O. Foster has found that the cost of an education at the University of Kansas has almost doubled in the last twenty years. The greater part of the increase is due to the cost of board, which has advanced 40 per cent. The fees remain the same as in 1892.
In the same time the cost of board has increased 50 per cent at Williams, 30 per cent at Wellesley, and 22 per cent at Harvard. Smith is the only college which shows no increase in cost of board. The average increase in board for the college for which statistics have been taken was 33 per cent. The rate of increase in tuition was 50 per cent.
Below is a table showing the percent increase in cost of board and tuition in some of the colleges:

COMMITTEES CHOSEN FROM ALL SCHOOLS
Each Elects Five Students to Plan for University Exposition
That the students are taking an active interest in the University Exposition is evidenced by the fact that the elections for the committees from each school have been well attended. Elections in the different schools were held this morning. The committee of the collegelege: Frederika Hodder, Elizabeth Ifeeson, Lina Coxedge, Alfred Waddel, and Arthur Perry.
At a meeting of the Medical School held this morning the following were elected as a committee to represent the school in the University Exposition: Lee Hoffman, chairman; Ernest Macy and Roscoe Word, all of the scientific department here and E. W. Mundell and R. M. Athay of the clinical department at Rosedale.

BOYS OF COMPANY B STAND AT ATTENTION
Masque Club Soldiers Rou Copyright Enemy and Prepare for Battle
Through the influence of Paul Gilmore the Masque club will not have to pay the extra $500 royalty demanded by Jules Murray, who owns the copyright on "The Boys of Company B."
Charles C. Younggreen who is directing the production for the Masque club and who supported Paul Gilmore when he starred in the play wrote to Paul Gilmore asking him to use his influence in having the somewhat excessive royalty reduced. Gilmore took the matter up with Jules Murray and the result is that the Masque club will pay only $100. The following night letter was received by Younggreen from Mr. Gilmore this morning:
"Best wishes to yourself and the Masque Club in producing the Boys of Company R." Have Murray, Murray, Murray, $100. All kinds of luck.

JOLLIEST OF JOLLY HOLD FORTH TONIGHT
Knights of Transit Will Give Dance in Gym This Evening
The School of Engineering will give a Christmas dance in Robinson gymnasium tonight. This is the third dance which the engineers have given this fall and as the other two were classed as being the jolliest parties of the school, those who are going to attend are looking forward to this one with great expectancy. The students will be imported from Topeka to furnish the music and refreshments will be served during the evening.
Charles J. Hainbach, chairman of the committee in charge of the affair, says that a little surprise will be offered in the way of a novelty in lighting effects. No moonlight dances will be given but during almost the entire evening the soft, luminous glow of electric bulbs will be the only illumination.
In talking about the affair another one of the committee said, "We certainly are going to have a pleasant dance tonight as we won't have to be so careful about watching out for fellows stepping on our toes now as some of our members have gone over and enrolled in one of the schools on the east side of the campus."

Christmas Vespers Sunday.
The regular Christmas vesper service will be given by the University vesper chorus Sunday afternoon in Fraser Hall at 4:30. It will be entirely musical and will contain selection and vocal pieces. Professor Preyer will play a Nocturn in F major and will play with Professor Skilton a duet from Beethoven.
All members of the chorus are requested to be present at 2:30 for
On every hand you'll hear the howls of self appointed gods, who criticise the acts and words of other crumbling clods. The style in hats, in women's dress, and cigarettes, and such, are raved about by Anti-league leagues, that they slip their clutch. Just now the latest stunt is knocking on the bunny dance, or any ragtime movement that "just makes your shoulders prance." Now as I see the thing today, I view not with alarm, the growing tendency to rag; please wise me up; what harm? We ought to bless the guy that wrote the music which compels, and punctuate the balmy night with loud and joyful yells. I thank the man who writes a song that makes my pulses sway; the joy of living comes from art that makes emotion play. I like to live, that much I'll own, to drink the bloomin cup, until the benches all break down. In this, I'm not alone. So full of sorrow is the wold, I've always thought it best, to take the happiness that comes, and tolerate the rest. Now you old howlers in your lair, are talking from the mire of everlasting ignorance, come out and comb your hair. The thing you howl about is not as bad as you suppose. A growing evil in the land: Come on, blow out your nose.

TO BUY COAL IN OPEN REGISTRAR PROPOSES
If Present Coal Supply Is Not Enough for University's Needs
Warm Rooms! No Colds! N
Coughs! No Sickness! No Docto
Bill to Pay!
This is not an advertisement of a radiator manufacturing company or ventilating concern but merely explains the conditions which will exist in regard to heating the building of the University this year.
The students will not receive any vacation this winter similar to those which were granted last January on account of the lack of coal for it was decided at yesterday's meeting of the regents to buy coal in the open marsh or state penitentiary at Leavenworth was unable to furnish sufficient coal.
At present there are just four carlords of coal on hand.
The money to purchase these 300 tons of coal will be taken from that company for scholarships or for scholastic purposes as the legal tender due no funds for emergency purposes.
UNIVERSITY GOSPEL TEAM
WILL GO TO EFFINGHAM
Conduct a Series of Meetings During Christmas Vacation in County High School Town.
A gospel team of five men from the University Y. M. C. A. will conduct a series of meetings at Effingham during the second week of the Christmas recess. Roy Stockwell, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at the University returned weeks later from Effingham where he had made arrangements for this meeting.
The K. U. men will work with a local committee and the object of the meetings is to build up the religious interests and the Y. M. C. A. in that town; and incidentally to interest the students of the Atchison county high school, located at Effingham, in the University. Most of the meetings will be religious in character, but one night will be devoted to "stunts."
PREYER'S COMPOSITION BRINGS APPRECIATION
"Concertstuck" by Univer sity Professor Enjoyed By Students
Long chapel this morning was made up wholly of a musical program.
Professor Preyer of the School of Fine Arts, received an appreciative tribute from students and faculty of the University this morning when he played his "Concertstuck," the one he composed with such favorable comment last week when he gave it at the Kansas City Symphony orchestra concert.
Assisted by Miss Maud Cook, Professor Preyer brought from a crowded chapel applause such as few persons who have appeared in chapel this year have received. Had it been a football rally such an applause would have been only perfunctory; but the evident pleasure with which the student received showed that the student beamed at the work of a University professor who does not "hit the line hard" or out sixty yards.
Other music was furnished by Mr. and Mrs. Rose, with the Bulgin revival meetings down town. Mr. Rose sang "Three for Jack" and responded with an encore; Mrs. Rose gave the waltz song, "Carmena" and also received a liberal encore.
Like Unto Hotcakes
"The Y. W. C. A. Kansas University calendars are selling very well indeed," says Miss Mollie Carrol, Secretary of the Y. W. C. A. "There are a few fine Japanese prints left, which can be purchased at the Y. W. C. A. room."
Phi Delta Theta will hold initiation Saturday for Humphrey Jones and Alf Harris, of Emporia; E. Lee Heidenrich of Kansas City; and Roland Boynton of Los Angeles.

REGISTRAR PROPOSES EDUCATIONAL CIRCUS
George O. Foster Outlines Plan to Take University To The State
HOLD MEETINGS IN TENTS
Traveling Exposition Would Give Week's Program in Cities
Visited.
Registrar George O. Foster thinks that the real value of the University Exposition, to be held May $Z_{2}$ will come through showing the taxpaying citizens of the state the work being has outlined a plan embracing his has outlined a plan embracng his ideas.
"The show on the campus will be of value in that the citizens who actually come will see the University in operation," said Mr. Foster, "but the next step is to take the University out into the state.
"If the idea were adopted by Kansas it would make the University well and favorably known where before it has been known only vaguely or not at all. It would break down the already weakened barrier of educational exclusiveness, and more important still, it would be one more layer to the chain of mutual betrayal. It would emphasize the essential point that town and country are one community. The expense could be minimized by using faculty members and men provided by the State Board of Health.
Same Plan at Minnesota.
"Minnesota is working some such scheme. The plan is something more than University Extension. It might be called an 'Educational Circus' in the business world, but it should hold the shows. To all intents and purposes a representative portion of the University—faculty, students, and equipment—is temporarily detached and transferred to other parts of the state, thus actually extending the benefits of the state's costliest educational plant to a wider field than ever before.
Week-Long Programs.
The plan as conducted by Minnesota has been approved by the United States Bureau of Education. The idea is to spend a week in each community. Each day of the six is devoted to some special topic, with lectures and demonstrations during the day time and entertainments at night. A sample week is as follows: Monday, business men's day. There are lectures on all kinds of topics interesting to business men, as well as a few talks of a more general nature. In the evening the University Glee club entertains.
Tuesday is art and literary day, with lectures on libraries, children's books, women's clubs, civic betterment, playgrounds, the drama, and similar subjects. There is a reading hour in the afternoon, in charge of a trained reader; and an industrial aunt or uncle who probably put on here in May. In the evening an illustrated lecture on art o- a kindred topic.
"Wednesday is home welfare day. In the day sessions such problems as 'The Human Beings of High School Age,' Why Babies Die, rational living, kindergarten, domestic science and industrial education. In the evening, an illustrated lecture on "How Kansas Educates Her Children." Thursday is public health day, with lectures and exhibits in keeping with general topic. In the evening dramatic readings, etc. Friday can be devoted to social centers and similar discussions. Illustrated lecture on Liquir Air. Saturday, Town and Country Day,' with lectures on 'Insects Dangerous to Crops,' care of orchards, etc. In the evening one of the University dramatic clubs will give a play."
Registrar Foster's plan will probably be submitted to the Board of Regents in connection with the main plan of the University Exposition.
A. G. Knobel, of St Louis, international secretary for the railroad department of the Y. M. C. A., is visiting Roy Stockwell and other Y. M. C. A. men this week.

Contempt is a better weapon than anger.-From the Chinese.
As far as the eats were concerned, the smoker was not a success. Indeed, all that some people got was the "jam."
Now the engineers are referred to as "knights of transit." Next we may expect the headlines to call the laws "Barons of the Bar."
A JUST REQUEST
Early in January some two hundred men will assemble in Topeka for the purpose of enacting legislation for the state of Kansas. These two hundred men have been chosen by the people of Kansas as most nearly representative of their wishes and opinions and as the most competent to carry those wishes and opinions into effect.
Many problems will come up for the consideration of these legislators. All of these questions interest educated people but one in particular is near to the hearts of educators. It is the proposal to allow the people to vote upon an amendment to the constitution which shall provide an adequate support for the state institutions of higher learning.
In voting to submit the amendment to the voters the legislator does not obligate himself. He merely says that he is willing to allow the people to rule. The legislator is not called upon to decide as to the wisdom of the mill tax. He is asked simply to allow the voters and taxpayers, those upon whom the responsibility would rest, a chance to express their wishes in the matter.
It would seem that no one could oppose this proposition. Those who favor the mill tax will of course support it. Those who oppose the mill tax will surely not deny to the people the right to do as they desire in the matter. To those who will have to meet it should be left the answer to this appeal.

THE POOR MAN'S SON
THE POOR MAN'S SON
Few people doubt now-a-days that a rich man's son doesn't have innumerable advantages over a poor man's son, if they both start out together in the same business or in the same profession.
The young man with money has capital, a certain social standing, influential friends, and, above all, the opportunity to adequately prepare himself for his line of work.
Anything that the government in a democracy can do to equalize the chances of these two classes of people is generally considered to be the legitimate business of that government. Anything that will tend to put a poor man's son on an equal
footing with a rich man's son is an aid toward true democracy.
This is the excuse, and the very good excuse, that a state has for furnishing professional education free for all its sons at the state University. If all the Kansas boys were rich there would be no need for free professional schools.
An educational system which would teach young people from the kindergarten to the University but would always balk at giving a business or professional education at any point would certainly be a curiosity. Such an education would, after it passed the grammar school stage, be a rich son's affair because poor men couldn't afford to send their children to school if there was no hope for them to get any practical returns from their education.
The critics of free professional schools in Kansas may not realize it, but they are trying to destroy the equal chance which the poor boy now has with the rich.

What would the cafeteria do for water for the coffee, etc.?
?
Well now that it has been mentioned, a bachelor's club would be a fine thing. Think of the notoriety of its members.
There is not a thread of hope that the rooms occupied by the cafeteria last year will be attainable for its re-establishment. The sewing class seems entrenched to stay.
THE HIGH COST OF LIVING Students at the University of Wisconsin are threatened with a rise in the price of hair cuts from twenty-five to thirty-five cents. This has already been done by a number of tonsorial establishments in some of the larger cities. A comparatively few years ago the average barber shop charged only fifteen cents for this service. It is true, of course, that the fashions of cutting hair have changed considerably. In former days every masculine individual was accustomed to wearing his hair thick and clipped in a circle around the neck. He had his hair, trimmed, not cut.
But the styles have changed. Now-a-days the average man, and the great majority of college students, demand that the barber use the clippers freely on their heads. The difference lies in the fact that the later fashions consume more of the toronial artists' time and attention. Formerly, the ordinary barber could wear a sleeve through the entire process in between ten and fifteen minutes, whereas, today, the average barber will consume all the way from fifteen to twenty-five or thirty
This, fundamentally, is an illustration of the cause of the rise in prices. There are some cases where higher prices are caused by monopoly and the operation of the so-called trusts, but these are probably in the minority. The real cause of the greater number of instances in which prices have steadily increased during the last twenty years is that people demand more, the standards of life are higher. The great meat packing companies say that the reason why meat has risen in cost is because people demand the fancy cuts where formerly they were satisfied with inferior cuts of meat. And, to return to the matter of hair cuts, because we demand more and the barbers demand more, we have to pay more. Therefore, the high cost of living.—Daily Illini.

One hundred and eleven Kansas cities and towns told their troubles to University of Kansas sanitary engineers last year. And the University experts visited these municipal patients, inspected their water and sewage disposal plants, and made recommendations and gave advice on how costs could be thousand of dollars had it come from a private source.
111 Towns in Past Yea Have Asked University for Solution
Let a town in Kansas desire to erect a new water works. Immediately a call goes out to the University for aid. The professors go over the plans and output out the best methods of creating the plant and approve the plans.
But the University help does not stop with the completion of the system. Each year the engineers work on a new system and are judged by analysis if the water is unpolluted.
Six cities last year requested assistance in checking typhoid epidemics. One of the engineers made a sanitary survey of each district to find out the source of the disease, and precautionary measures were immediately taken by the municipal authorities on the advice of the expert.
PARKER
The legislature of 1907 and 1909 gave the board of health control over all public water supplies and sewerage systems, charging this board with the preservation of the purity of the waters for the protection of public health. It is in cooperation with the Board of Health that much of the assistance to the municipalities is given. Two members of the faculty at the School of Law of the Board are the Board's department of water and sewage which has direct charge of the work, while all chemical and bacteriological analyses and tests necessary are made at the University laboratories.

An alliance of the college dailies of the "Big Nine" has been effected to remove the objections to the University of Michigan returning to the Conference, an objection which to their minds is the matter of the training table, with the faculty control of athletics a secondary obstacle. Facts show that only a part of the boarding expenses of the football team the past fall were paid by the athletic association, and that the faculty have virtual control of the athletes. Now that the difficulties keeping Michigan out of the Conference are found to be merely technical a publicity campaign for the reinstalment of the erring one has been started by the Alliance.

VARSITY QUINTETTE FASTER THIS SEASON
All the Men Playing Better Basket Ball Than Last Year
Coach Hamilton gave the Varsity basket-ball five, one of the hardest workouts up to date in last night's practice. The squad after scrimmaging the heavy freshmen team were sent up against Coach Frank's Varsity five for a thirty minute fracas.
The varsity was a little ragged in their work in spots, but showed up stronger than at any time last season. In the first affair the freshmen were given a twenty lead and the Varsity team told to catch them. It was but a matter of a little time when the Hamilton aggregation had the lead cut down. The under-class team was hardly able to score and made but two field goals while the Varsity was running up thirty ponds. The line-up for the first team last night was Boehm, center; Captain Greenlee and Dumnie, guards; Hite and Brown forwards. This with the exception of Dumnie is the same line-up used last season. The whole team played a better floor game and the guards Dumnie and Captain Greenlees put up an almost impenetrable defense. Boehm is showing up better at center and the forwards, Hite and Brown are hitting the goals in good shape. At center Coach Hamilton has another pitcher. He is pushing Boehm to hold his place. This man Weaver, who in addition having a slight edge on Boehm on the tip off is a好 goal shot. Sproll is being used at forward and will probably alternate with Hite at that position. Smith, Coach Hamilton's pitch hitter or rather pinch basket tosser, is showing up in better form this year and will probably be used more.
In addition to these men the coaches have a number of good men who will probably be used on the College five, which dopes to be nearly as strong as the Variaty. The men who are showing up well are Painter and Welsh.

The following men will please report to Gloyne for the Wyandotte county basket-ball team: Anderson, Burnham, Davis, Shade, and Rose.
The Wyandotte club has also arranged for talks on the Mill Tax, to be held the same evening. All Wyandotte county students are urged to take notice of this and attend the game.
Sophomore Nearly Run Down Homer Blinco, a sophomore in the College, narrowly escaped serious injury Saturday night when he collided with an automobile while turning the corner of Massachusetts and Quincy streets on a bicycle. Blinco jumped from the wheel and was uninjured. The bicycle was crushed under the wheels and the front lamps in the car were demolished.

And now when Greenwood County comes forth with an invention, not for taking the seeds out of Freshmen's hair, but a machine for cutting all hair, Freshmen to P. S.

RESERVE "K" LIMITED WILL OPPOSE MILL TAX
Only Varsity Football Subs to Receive Consolation Letter, Says Coach Mosse
"Some misunderstanding seems to have resulted from the announcements of two pewards for work in football announced recently, the loving cup awarded to Coach Arthur St. Leder Moser this morning.
"You see there are thousands of little holes in the plate each one just big enough for a single hair to stick out. Now you tighten this screw until the hairs stick out of the holes, just the right distance." The Greenwood county inventor twisted something until the shiny plate bristled with hairs.
"This done, you singe off the outstanding hairs and you have the neatest haircut it is possible for modern science to produce.
"I have heard considerable comment to the effect that the cup is to be the same one each year. The cup will be a new one each year, and will remain the permanent property of the man who wins it.
"As to the reserve "K," some seem to have the opinion that such an emblem will be awarded the Varsity subs in basketball and baseball. This is not true. Only football subs will receive the emblem. The men on the regular minor sport teams will be given a letter
Miss Anna E. George, the foremost American exponent of the remarkable Montessori sense training method of educating children will lecture before the students in chapel Wednesday afternoons
that will be about the same in books as the reserve football "K," but the subs on these teams will not receive any letter. By minor sports is meant swimming, wrestling, tennis and like kinds."
INNA E. GEORGE TO TELL OF MONTESSORI METHOI
"We have contracted with the Great Western Stove Company to manufacture 500 of the articles, and as we go home for Christmas in our special car we are told by the company that way. Later demonstrations will take place on Mondays and Fridays in Room 110 Fraser for students and the faculty.
the practicability of Henry George's single tax was argued in the meeting of the Oread Debating club, Friday evening. The affirmative was upheld by E. L. Bennett, J. C. Brunting and E. R. Moody, J. H. Probst, H. V. McColloch and C. H. Cory argued the negative. The decision was left to a vote of the club who gave it to the negative. The Oread club has challenged the Cooley club for a championship debate during exposition week.
Miss George is the only person in the country who has had personal work under Mme. Montessori. At present Miss George is the only one who has had the responsibility of being prepared to satisfy the complex demands of establishing a model Montessori school, and to deliver lectures from personal experience. Miss George will fully explain the methods of the school and its advantages over the old style of teaching.

Oreads Settle Single Tax
Jinxton County Club Will Ai Its Views on Important Subject
Subject
President Marley Brown received a letter Friday afternoon from Bert S. Simpson, president of the Jinxton County Club, which contained a resolution passed by the club expressing itself opposed to the mill tax. The resolution is as follows: "We the members of the Jinxton County Club, hereby resolve that we are not in favor of the mill tax and will do all we can to defeat it. Signed B. S. Simpson pres., Lunice Staton, secretary." Below this was written: "Our representatives will be at meeting Tuesday and tell you why."
The Central Organization of County K. U. Clubs will settle a fierce and stormy fight which is raging in its midst at a meeting of all county club representatives, Tuesday afternoon, at 4:30, in room 116 Fraser. The Chancellor or some member of the faculty will be present to answer any questions asked during suggestions. He will also answer all objections raised against the mill tax.
GRADS TO STUDENT COUNCIL?
This letter caused quite a commotion among the officers of the Central Organization of County Clubs, and it is rumored that an effort will be made to expel representatives of Jinxion County from the organization. The rest retract their statement in the letter and will work for the good of the organization.
P. S. B. Will Petition for Entrance at Chapel Tomorrow.
At a meeting of the Graduate School held Friday it was decided that the school was to be governed by the same rules that the other schools now are. It was also decided that the graduate students would agree to hold their election for student council members in the spring the same as other schools instead of in the fall as they have previously desired. There will be several candidates.
The question as to whether or not the Graduate School shall be represented in the student council will be decided at a general mass meeting of all students to be held at chapel tomorrow.
"Louie" and "Bugs" Still Going.
The Kansas boys keep turning up.
Louis Lacoss, last year editor-in-chief of the Kansas, is now working on the Kansas City "Star," and says he likes it.
“Bugs” Ferguson, perpetrator of the Olathe matter hoax, until recently on the Kansas City Post, is now with the Atchison “Champion.”
Commencing the first of the year the Daily Kansan will run a column devoted to the interests of students desiring to take temporary or permanent employment to help make their way through the University, and in the interests of employers looking for help on the spur of the moment. In other words, a column given over to "want ads" will be maintained.
...
To any student desire to find work three insertions of an "ad" of not over 15 words will be run in this column free of charge. Similarly, to any employer desiring student help, this column will be open for three insertions.
In order to avoid any embarrassment to parties using this column each advertiser will be known by a number and all adds will be answered by such number.
Y. M. C. A. ISSUES HANDSOME BOOKLET
"Character-Service" Contain Record of Past, Present, And Future Activities
The University Y. M. C. A. has just issued a sixteen-page pamphlet entitled "Character-Service." It contains a record of the work of the president and a statement of the present situation and some suggestions for the future.
Among other things there is a statement by E. T. Colton, associate secretary of the International Committee of the Y. M. C. A. A. Mr. Colton was formerly traveling student secretary for the colleges of the west and states that he believes "enough in and states that he believes "enough in women of Kanaas to feel sure that maintain the high standards of character in the state and will therefore not withhold from the University Young Men's Christian Association anything in the way of men, equipment, or support which may be asked for within reason."
A nine years' record shows that while the number of men in the University has increased from 833 in 1903-04 to 1432 in 1911-12, the number of members in the association has increased from 245 to 525 or from 29 percent to 37 per cent of the men of the University.
No More Free Posters
"The year 1911-12 in retrospect" shows that there have been some 'big days' in association work. President Taft, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., spoke on The Young Men's Christian Association as a World-Wide Influence'. Other prominent speakers were: Dr. Winfield S. Hall, of Northwestern University Medical College; George Sherwood Eddy, International Secretary for Asia; J. K. Codding, warden Kansas state penitentiary; Raymond Robins, of Chicago, working in connection with the Men and Religion Forward Movement; Dean Walter Taylor Sumner, chairman of the Vice Commission of Chicago.
Some sage once pointed out that root things don't never do last for a long time.
good things don't never do last forever. And they don't never do. The ancient's epigram has been corroborated right on the University campus. Last week the press of the department of journalism announced that it had 1,100 football posters to throw at the students. Today from the same source comes an announcement that the posters are all gone.
The Christian Science society of the University of Kansas will hold its regular meeting Tuesday, December 17th at 7:00 p. m. in Myers hall. All members of the University are invited.
K. U. Pharmacists in Demand
North Dakota and Indiana are coming to Kansas for their pharmacists. Dean L. E. Sayre received requests from North Dakota and Indianapolis, this morning for two men who have their bachelor of science degree. The salaries offered were $1400 per year for the former and $1200 for the latter position with prospects of an increase to $1,800 and $2,000 per year respectively.
Lieutenant Uttterback of the Kansas National Guard will address the members of the National Rifle Association on "Ranges" in the gymnasium at 7:30 this evening.

Regents Prepare Budget Showing Amount Necessary for Next Two Years
SECOND IN STATE SERVICE.
Only One Other School Does More for Commwealth While Forty Receive More Money per Student.
Pointing out that the University was returning mre to the State in direct service work than any other American University except one, the regents of the institution this morning submitted to Auditor W. E. Davis their statement of the requirements for the maintenance of the present high standard during the next two years.
The regents, in preparing the budget, made a study of conditions at forty other state universities and found that Kansas ranked second among them in this feature of helping the citizens, in spite of the fact that but four of these institutions receive less for each stanthan Kansas. The report calls attention to the fact that because of insufficient funds, the State was unable to hold Professors Hond, McClung and Robert Kennedy Duncan, all experts in their lines, who were drawn away last year by Michigan, Pennsylvania and Pittsburg.
State Service Work Growing.
To keep Kansas among the twenty-two first class universities designated by the United States Government, the regents found that $549,188.97 a year was necessary for the general maintenance. For carrying out and broadening the 40 odd lines of state service work, the regents ask for $43,229 for the first year, and $42,375 for the second. Demands for this work have grown so within the last year as to compel the University to take $55,000 from its teaching fund.
Closely related to the state service work is the extension department for which $24,860 is needed for the first year, and $29,790 for the second.
For the School of Medicine and the State Hospital at Rosedale, which has ministered free to 1511 patients since it opened its doors only a year ago, the legislature will be asked to appropriate $16,458,888 and $41,568,888 for the two years. Eighty thousand dollars is included in the completion of the main section of the hospital building and for the erection of a laboratory building at Rosedale.
Building Repairs Necessary
Building Repairs' necessary
For upkeep of building, the demands were forced to ask a large increase due to the fact that in recent years inadequate has been made for this purpose. Many buildings, as a result are in a deplorable condition and repairs to the amount of $119,427.66 must be made at once.
"The budget is on a basis of economy below that of most State Universities," said Chancellor Strong, chairman of the Board of Regents. "For example, I have just received the budget of the University of California for which the state provides almost 60 per cent more money per student than we have asked."
Money for the central section of the college building for which the foundation has been laid, is asked, $186,000 for the first year and $50,000 for the second. The first section of a building for the School of Education and a biological laboratory are included among the buildings asked for.
Chemists Elect Officers
At the annual meeting of the Kansas City section of the American Chemical Society, in the banquet hall of the Kansas City Y. M. C. A. last Saturday evening, the following officers for the coming year were elected: President, L. S. Bushnell, head chemist for the Armour Packing Company at Kansas City; vice-president, Prof. L. D. Haverhill; councillor, E. H. S. Bailey; secretary-treasurer, W. B. Smith, with the U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry at Kansas City; assistant secretary, Prof. C. C. Young.
Prof. H. L. Jackson, of the Water Analyses department, read a paper on the presence of tin in canned foods, which he is at present investigating. Prof. E. W. Bushong reported on the use of boron in food products which met in New York last fall Professor Bailey talked upon the condition of the food markets of Europe.

He who sees his folly in his youth is fortunate—From the Chinese.
While busily engaged in thinking it over, the question popped into our mind as to whether the Rifle Club has power to fire any of its newly elected officers.
The poor old ice man comes in for jokes and headlines winter and summer. He never gets the cold shoulder.
POLITENESS
The student who read a Saturday Evening Post during a class period and attracted his neighbor's attention from the lecture was merely selfish. His selfishness was not, however, so noticeable as that of the student who monopolized all the reference books in the library that were reserved for a certain course. In both cases the students war
In both cases the students were also impolite, because impolitness is, basically, selfishness.
Some people tell us that this sort of people, the polite and unselfish kind, is growing less, year by year
The young man or the young woman who goes out of his way to direct a confused visitor on the hill to the building where a lecture is being given is both polite and unselfish. He is also the kind of young person that everyone wants to know, the type that is universally admired.
The University of Wisconsin, says the Daily News, is facing a deficit and must borrow $150,000 from the state to meet the payroll which falls due December 8.
Wouldn't University men and women do well to combat, by example this theory?
HELP OLD K. U.
When you have been graduated from this University, will you be able to say that you did any thing to help it generally, that is, as a whole? You should, and you have an excellent opportunity in the present situation.
When you go home for the holidays, what are you going to do? Here's a suggestion. Familiarize yourself with the mill tax and talk it up with the folk at home. It will not take much time, and will certainly be worth while. Try it.
And this little service to K. U. should not be limited to the ranks of the men students either.
This water situation is getting so old that it is dusty.
NOT SO BAD
September, October, November,
and half of December have passed.
Nothing very wonderful in that. No,
not on the face of it, but consider,
please that during all this time, there
has not been a single case of student
discipline. That's pretty good for a
bunch of hoodlums and toughs. Yes,
indeed.
The Student Council hears such cases as cribbing, *playing poker*, shooting craps, general disorder.
drunkenness, etc. Not a one up to date, not even a case of smoking cigarettes on the campus.
Moreover, scholarship is better than ever before. The students have shown more spirit than they are wont to show. There has been nothing resembling a riot in the celebrations that have been held.
Which ought to open the eyes of some of the people of the State of Kansas to the fact that any other than gentlemen and ladies have no place in the State University.
And it ought to make our critics who pretend to be emitting true stories about our inclinations toward roughness, it ought to make them go back in the shadow and stay there. But it will not. The genus knocker has not the intelligence to know when he ceases to be amusing and becomes a bore.
An educational circus is to be in tents. So was the mental process that evolved this excellent scheme.
"Box Supper Brings New Tennis Court."—Big high school story headline. Why make such a racket about it?
Even a booster is tiresome if he becomes too vehement.
Cheer leaders at Columbia University are chosen by the board of student representatives on a merit system.
HERE AND OUTSIDE
Not often does the "Californian" essay to advise the individual how he may best order his existence. This is a task which falls rather to the lot of those more seasoned in experience. And yet, here is a word which we venture to offer, that it may be taken for whatever it is worth.
The University Man—the University—the Outside World. Between these three there must be some uncertainty of relationship. Just how closely should one exclude himself in the recesses of his cloister? To what extent should be commingle ativity in the city and the state with academic life? As in most cases, there is a mean, somewhere between the hermit and the busybody. To find it is the question.
No one will gainisay that a fundamental purpose of the University is to fit men and women for better citizenship. Some, resting on this premise, reason that its helief and foremost use is as a seat of operations, a base for the campaign of outside work Things may be learned in the morning and applied in the afternoon. A tool, versily, with which to carve out the designs which are so aptly the crying need of society.
We feel this deduction to be grossly erroneous; the logic, entirely at fault. So far as an undergraduate considers his membership in the Unierview a mere incident to his interests and measures in the larger sphere, he loses a part of what is offered. The University life is a great Athe army is drilled before trusted on a battlefield, so the man taught the use of his faculties before his own real battle. He who intrudes himself, half equipped, into the affray, is a meddler and a troublemaker.
This must not be taken as a plea to the student that he ignore the vital problems of political and social life. But any accurate solution of these demands a tried and tested mental poise. The youth with determination of "better conditions in the world," can begin no more wiser than by watching those conditions from his University vantage point. Not disinterest, rather enthusiasm, vocate, but a little observation of Affairs. Before saying, "This is wrong; I must correct it," why not devote some attention to a study less simple than many would believe; the Science of Solutions?—Daily Californian.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS
OF WISE OLD BOYS
SCIENCE
When Science keeps within its proper bounds, when it is content to discover the hidden things of physical nature and with its inventions contribute to the lapping of man, of man, of man, of man. It vades the domain of morals, it runs the risk of being pursued and driven back by the lawful rulers there.

HERE'S ANOTHER.
I was highly interested in the communication in last night's Kansan concerning a bachelor's club. This is my last year in school and as I have worked most of my way through I have not had the time, money or inclination to get the name of being a "tusser." As I have had all that I do not have the opportunity to enter into the social activities which the club enjoys, and consequently have not met many girls. Could there not be some way to form such a club?
THAT MISERABLE MONDAY.
Editor Daily Kansan.
Would it not be a good idea for the Daily Kansan to publish the quotations of the metal market everyday, for students in the Engineering School and those taking courses in Economic Geology, Minerology and the like. It means a good deal to some to know the standing of the market and very few have access to any other paper than the Kansan.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Another One.
Several days ago the question was brought up in this column in regard to whether we should not be given another day's vacation, on Jan. 6, 1913, for the benefit of those students living on branch lines of a railroad where trains do not run Sundays. Without this day as a holiday many people will practically be forced to miss classes all day Monday.
Many of those interested are anxious to learn if any decision has been reached on this proposition. Let's hear from more of these branch-liners—NOW

SENIORS AND TYROS BATTLE TO A DRAW
Both Teams Scored a Touch down and the Game Ended 7 to 7
The final game in the inter-class series was played Saturday afternoon, and resulted in a tie. The score was 7 and 7. Both the seniors and freshmen played good ball and the game was exciting all the way.
The freshmen started the game as if to roll up a large score, but the seniors rallied time and again at and one place held the freshmen on their ten yard line after the tyros had carried the ball more than half the length of the field. Just before the end of the first period, the recovered a punt and scored a touchdown, through line plunges by Court, the fullback. The goal was kicked.
Beginning with the second half the freshmen went on the defensive. Both sides made frequent changes. The seniors seemed to get together and rushed the ball to the freshmen twenty yard line, where a place kick by Blank was attempted but failed. The tyros, then rushed the ball to the middle of the field and lost it on a fumble.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter the seniors carried the ball from the middle of the field to the youngsters' ten yard line where they lost it on downs. The freshmen punted out of danger and the seniors again returned the ball to the twenty yard line, and by a series of line plunges and end runs th ebail was thrown over and goal was kicked. Burke of the seniors scored the touchdown for his team. The rest of the game was a see-saw with the ball in possession of one team and then the other.

The lineup of the freshmen is as follows: left end, Capps and Wood; left tackle, Strathers; left guard, Jackson and Campbell; center, McNeal; right guard, Flagg and Trueblood; right tackle, Barry; right end,

ALL AMERICAN TEAM FARCE SAY CRITICS
Not Possible to Pick a Reat Typical All-American
Team
Following the selection of Walter Camp's "All-American football team" each year, always comes a wave of protest from the western college and metropolitan dailies against the accuracy of the selection,-unless of course the school was lucky enough to have a man on the team. The accusation of "sour grapes" can not be held against an eastern newspaper, hence the criticism of such a paper must be accepted seriously.
In a recent editorial, headed as above, the New York Evening Mail ridicules the custom of one man pickin- players in the country, as follows:
"It is taking quite a bit for granted for any one to see six or seven teams play, and then, calmly select the all-star eleven from 200 or 300 teams.
"It is within fair range for one to pick an all-eastern team, and allwestern team, and all-southern team."

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. TUESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 17, 1912.
EXTENSION DIVISION OFFERS 140 COURSES
Makes Possible Education of Citizens at Home Along Many Lines
MANY FAMILIES INTERESTED
Are Getting Their Education From the University by Means of Uncle Sam's Mail System.
Making University class rooms out of the homes of 702 Kansas citizens has been the work of the extension division of the University of Kansas since its establishment less than two years ago. A report by Director Richard R. Price sent to Chancellor Frank Strong today, showed that of this number 365 enrollments in the correspondence course have been recorded between eight January and December 12, o this year.
The report shows that 3,587 people read the University package libraries, a collection of books on a variety of subjects, from Sept. 1911 to Dec. 12, 1912. Of these, 1098 have been sent out during the last three months.
One hundred and forty courses for which University credit is given are offered through the medium of the United States mails, enabling students to get a college training without leaving their homes.
Fifty cities of the State were given information on knotty municipal problems by the Municipal bureau, conducted by the extension department. Requests for advice on administration questions came from 79 others.
The women of Kansas have been directly aided by the department, which has furnished programs for 67 clubs in different communities. This service is rendered by preparing program for a season's work; by furnishing outlines for definite courses of study; by giving references and bibliography on any proposed subject of study; and by furnishing any individual who has a club paper to prepare, an outline and references on the subject chosen.
Three hundred and ten lectures have been given by University professors in all corners of the State under the auspices of the extension division. Milton J. Grosby, a former professor for the University using lantern pictures to give his series of talks on "Visual Instruction in Morals," has appeared before 22,000 people thus far.
ALL THE EXPOSITION COMMITTEES NAMED
School Committees Ready to Get to Work after Vacation
"The school committees on the Exposition which have not yet elected their chairmen should do so at once," said Orlán Weede, president of the Exposition organization, this morning. "It is important that chairmen be elected as soon as possible in order that the executive board, which is composed of chairmen of the school committees and the president, can meet."
Each school Committee will elect its chairman from its own membership. The duty of these committees is to see that its respective school is represented to the best advantage at the Exposition, and to use any legitimate means that may be for the best interests of its school.
"A meeting of all School Committees will be called at once, and each committee should meet at least before before Christmas to discuss plans for its school.
The school committees from the schools of Fine Arts and Education have now been elected, making the list of committees complete. These committees were named yesterday, as follows: Fine Arts—May Mefarlin, Lena Tripp, Murray, Leora Kucherna, Estelle Stiahm; Education—Harry Gowans, Melvin Croan, Ansel Stubla, Isa Goldmin, Helen Hoopes.
everything is going off fine," said President Weede this morning, "the students are taking a great interest in the work and are getting down to work in fine shape. I am sure the Exposition will be a great success."

WHAT WILL THIS MELODY
STUFF MAKE US DO NEXT?
Yes, she made a full toilet while listening to the band concert last night. It was not a trivial matter of powdering her nose, frizing her locks, and settling her belt. She actually took a complete sponge bath before everybody, sitting the while on a gentleman's overcoat, up near the pipe organ. All her motions were as graceful and rhythmic as if she had 'been danieng to the music.
Who was she? No one seems to know—just a wicked little puss in convict stripes.
OLD GRAD TELLS HOW FIRST
CINDER TRACK WAS BANKED
"The wonderful advancement in the matter of physical equipment impresses me, as it must all returning visitors to the University of Kansas," said Prof. E. D. Adams, head of the History department at Stanford, Jr., University, this mornin'.
Ten years ago Professor Adams was a member of the faculty of the University. He stopped in Lawrence Friday on six months leave of absence from Stanford to lecture in Harvard, in order to obtain his doctorate. He is accompanied by his wife and younger son, guests of Dean Green of the School of Law.
"Lots of students," commented Professor Adams this morning, as he watched the hurrying crowd in Fraser hall; but it is in the matter of equipment that the changes are most noticeable. When I was here there were no buildings west of Fowler shops, and the Chemery east of Fowler shops. The museum was in process of construction. Green hall had not yet been built.
The annual Christmas dinner of Kappa Alpha Theta will be tomorrow night.
"The changes on McCook Field are also interesting to me. When I was a treasurer for a number of years of the Athletic Association, and Chairman of the finance committee, we built the first running track around the field. The team's vision of the job was turned over to the superintendent of the grounds. He was not an athlete and had the track banked the wrong way."
The K. U. Debating society will meet at 8 o'clock Thursday evening in room 313 Fraser hall.

Band Concert Most Classica Attempt Ever Tried by Horn Blowers
At its first concert in Fraser Hall last night the University Band, under the direction of C. E. McCanness, played by far the most classical program ever given on the hill by any University band, nast or future.
PLAYED HARD PROGRAM WANT 1.000 MEMBERS
The boys have been practicing faithfully for several weeks, and rendered a hard program of twelve numbers with great credit to themselves and leader. The features of the concert were the use of a large orchestra suite and a tuba solo, by Carl Hicks. After the concert the boy ate on "Mac" at Lee's.
HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS
MEET HERE IN MARCH
Miss Tess Critchfield, '11, and Miss Alice Johnson, '11, of Okaidowa, willow.
The tenth annual conference of high schools and academies accredited to the University will meet in Lawrence, March 14 and 15. About 400 will attend, and the meetings will probably be held on the hill, as they have been in previous years. Prof. R. L. Anderson, professor of education and state high school examiner of the University of Texas, will be the principal speaker. The complete program will be issued after the holidays.
Miss Geneva Wiley, of Emporia will come tomorrow for a short visit at the Pi Phi house.
Susie, the Educated Pup, Deceased, Now Replaced By Rats
F. C. Dockeray, instructor in psychology, discussed his animal studies this morning at chapel. He spoke of Susie and other animals who won so much fame for the Psychology department last year, and explained the more serious side of his work with them.
Susie and her companions were discussed in many American papers last fall when they enrolled in the University. English publications took up the subject and it finally reached the German papers of which offered the sum of ten marks for a picture of the class and the instructor.
GROW OR GO. WHICH?
"We are not interested in the animals as individuals, or in teaching them in the ordinary sense," said Mr. Dockeray. "We were trying to find the series from the simplest up to the mind of man."
"The department of psychology in its work does not wish educated dogs and animals. It wishes animals whose minds are yet unformed. We find that some of the lower animals can learn only a series, when they have once done a thing every time they perform the process they do it in the same way.
"In a second type, the animal learns to make some changes in the series. A third type can apply past experience and use it to create a new gifted Mind can develop a system."
Mr. Dockeray is still working on the question of imitation in animals, but is uncertain how much influence it has. Susie is dead, but the work of the department still goes on. At present the pupils are rats.
Chancellor Strong Favors Pla of Y. M. C. A. to Increase Student Membership
To collect seven hundred and fifty dollars among the students is the problem that confronts the University Y. M., C.A., and a campaign for membership and funds was launched to meet it at a five course dinner in Myers Hall, where she cloak to over ninety men by the board of directors of the organization.
Chancellor Strong, acting as toastmaster, said: "I wish to congratulate the Y. M. C. A. on what it has done this year. I believe the membership of the association should be increased to one thousand. The association has been one of the important factors one among the characteristies have gone out from the University over the state. For this reason it deserves hearty support."
Secretary Stockwell says that the actual expense per member last year was five dollars. He considers that the average subscription should be two dollars. The remainder of the expenses are borne by the University, alumni and friends.
Thirty-nine men volunteered to see all the University men this week in an attempt to raise the remainder of the $1200 expected of them.
Other talks were made by the Rev.
Oliver S. Elderman and Prof. R. A
Schaffer.
Miss Ruth Smith, of Oksaloaa,
has been visiting Marca Slade,
a freshman in the College, at the Theta
house.
If you've got the peep of a half baked clam, or the spunk of a spineless squad; you'll read up on this mill-tax dope, and waddle on the job. When you get home the folks will gawk at Podunk's Greatest Pride, and like as not you'll swell all up, and nearly bust your hide. They'll hark to words of wisdom from your worldly-wise old mouth, and mayhap, if you talk so me sense, forget about the drouth. Explain the mill-tax propost to every blooming gink, that has the right to cast a vote and brains enough to think. Especially be sure to support a candidate, the peelup of your desires, but be sure you talk some sense. And don't forget that mother dear, is voting nowadays, so co-deed, get bu buy now and prove that suffrage pays. Every student at this school is bound by mora llaw, to hold his goldmil blamedest, for the mill-tax; and your paw, will be interested greatly, talk it up and you will see what a big concerted effort will accomplish, finally.
PONCE
MASQUERS ARE READY FOR A K.U. BELASCO
First Amateur Production Of Professional Play Will be Given Tonight
With principals, bell-buys, wood soldiers, and fair damsels all ready for the whistle, the "Boys of Company B" to be given tonight and tomorrow night at the Bowersock theater by the Masque club, await the first curtain in fear and trembling of the coming ordeal before their critics, their fellow students. Even Jack Williams, though not in the cast, is reported as shaky in the knees and feverish as we go to press.
Seats have sold well, and if the student critics like it tonight tickets
The show should give a good opportunity for the University to show what it has in the way of dramatic talent in interpreting a play that has been a decided success in the hands of professional actors.
William Cain, who has been unable to assume his duties as manager owing to illness, is reported about the same today.
DEMAND FOR TEACHERS
CANNOT BE SUPPLIED
University Appointment Committee Has Several High School Positions That Are Yet Unfilled.
The University Appointment Committee, whose duty it is to recommend graduates to high schools desiring teachers, has been unable to supply the demand during the last month. More than a dozen calls for teachers have been received, and only two or three supplied.
"There are eight or ten good positions now open," said W. H. Johnson, state high school visitor and secretary of the appointment committee, "and if there is anyone here who wants to teach for the remainder of the year he should see it, and that experience should be a graduate, and experience is desirable though not necessary."
The unusual demand for instructors is due to the remarkable increase in attendance at all classes of high school, and to the fact that many schools are making mid-term promotions for the first time this year.
Chemists to Meet at Topeka.

Some Student Has a Good Play in His System, Says Senior Committee
WILL PAY HARD MONEY FOR IT
New Policy nlauragurated With View of Developing Dormant Campus Talent.
Fifty dollars in gold will be awarded to the K. U. man or woman who will write a play for the senior class. This action was taken by the play committee at its meeting in Fraser Hall yesterday. Any K. U. student, past, present, or future, will be invited to play, whether farce, musical comedy or comic operai, will be considered by the committee. Each author is to appear before the committee and read his play. All manuscripts must be in by April first, 1913. Now is the time to begin.
The committee wants a play built around some Kansas custom or tradition. It would like to see some clever student lampoon with good-natured caricature some existing idiosyncrasy, or prick the bubble of some faculty of dueresburg university. If it is done cleverly and oblique, it will be required to the three entities, said student will not only get his name in letters a foot high on the bill-boards but will receive fifty simoleons from an ever-grateful senior play committee.
The members of the Senior Play Committee are: Constance McCammon, chairman. Bruce Hurd, Chas. Cass, Esther Evans, Will Cain, and Beatrice Dellon.
The action of the committee is in line with the policy of seniors at universities where dramatics flourish. It gives any man or woman with prodigies toward play-writing a chance to try it out on the dog, and at the same time it eliminates deep-seated remorse which usually accompanies a member of the senior play committee out into the world who has assisted in manufacturing an alleged play for the occasion. For, be it known, seldom does a senior play committee claim to know anything about stage business.
Wait a minute! Here's a point almost forgotten. The committee reserves right to reject any and all manuscripts, and to fortify itself against such contingency, will have cared for the manuscript as its owner's drawer a professional manuscript
But the K. U. embryonic Belasees and Shaws and Ades will get the first sympathetic hearing.
Old Grads to Wed
Miss Mary Coors, '10, and Mr. Robert Banks, '09, will be married tomorrow night at the home of Miss Coors in Las Vegas, Mexico. Miss Coors was a member of Pi Beta Phi, and Mr. Banks was a Phi Dhi.

Patience is one of the first means to attain success.—From the Chinese
THE DODO AND COURTESY
The Daily Kansas has been asked to tell, "Why is a College Editor?" We promise the answer to follow immediately the Christmas holidays. We do not expect to feel grouchy then.
If you are not sending it to the folks, take a copy of the Daily Kansas home with you and see what they think of it.
A young man hurrying frantically somewhere the other day jostled roughly against a woman on the crowded sidewalk. Without a word of apology or more than a careless backward glance he hastened on.
This is not a plea for wider sidewalks. It is merely a comment on the disappearing art of courtesy.
Ages ago the dodo was a worthy member of animal society. He had a place to fill and fitted in as a useful worker in the scheme of things. But in the process of evolution some usurped the dodo's niche and failing to longer fit in, the dodo passed away. Today he is to be found only among stuffed fowls in the museums.
We can only hope that some stuff specimens may be preserved for the future.
Courtesy, the consideration of others, seems to be undergoing the same evolutionary process. It has fitted in for several ages, but to many today it has no place in the world. Most people agree that it is often somewhat useful, but in time or incursion for its practice.
Perhaps courtesy, like the dodo,
will become entirely extinct. We can
each do our share toward helping on
its evolution out of the world, and
when it shares the dodo's fate need
not drop even a tear on its bier.
Twas a quiz before Christmas, and all through the class, not a lip but was puckered, all ready to sass. Knowledge was nestled all snug in the book, while neer a chance was given to look. The prof in his sternness, the stude in his woe, were longing the hour the flunk they could know. Professor, have mercy.
SHOCKING
There are two kinds of professors; the professor who takes a personal interest in his classes and the one who thinks that he is smart and clever.
There is a world of difference between the two. The first is considerate of the students and does not endeavor to make life for them a hardship. He refrains from personal remarks about the appearance and intelligence of those fortunate enough to draw him for their instructor. And best of all, he would like to see every one in his classes pull through the quizzes with good grades. Flunks, to him, are not funny.
On the other side of the fence is the man who smirks when he enters the room, and delivers some witticism with the idea perhaps, of making the students think that he is a good fellow. The intelligence of the class is the subject of his carefully worded irony and sarcasm. He delights in springing quizzes unexpectedly, and seems to regard a flunk as a sort of a joke.
Of course, it is seldom that one man ever possesses all the attributes last named, but it is true that all three of them are to be found here to a greater or less degree.
What the remedy is, no one seems to know. Otherwise, such things would not be permitted. At present all the students can do is to make the best of a bad proposition.
Do your Christmas shopping early. All firms collect on January 1 anyhow.
THE WILD, WILD WEST
In keeping with the other reforms that are spreading over the country, the abolishment of the hold-up pictures that areature films, the burglaries, and the cowboy-Indian combats with a fusilead of shots as an accompaniment is fast approaching. Moving pictures of the proper sort have a worthy mission to perform in providing amusement and entertainment to the young and old alike, and the educational purposes to which they are now being put are highly commendable.
Clean, healthy plays are of worth to any one, parent or child, student or professor. One can devote his time to this kind of amusement and gain instruction as well as entertainment. But the fictive Wild West, the sensational melodrama should go. Its insidious influence over the young men and women in the country, causing them to become criminals to a greater degree, causing young children to wish to break home ties and startle the wild and wooly west. This influence must be counteracted in some way.
It is not the moving picture show that should be abolished, it is the pernicious influence derived from these cheap thrillers that should be prohibited; the instructive and entertaining slide should be encouraged. it is a pertinent benefit of the public amusement of the day.
RECOGNITION FOR CEEER LEADERS.
The football season is over; the men who have worked hard to make the team have been awarded their “Its,” but the cheer leaders have been totally ignorant and forgotten. Last year there was a considerable agitation to institute certain rewards for the men who led the cheering during the football season, these rewards to consist of emblems for a sweater which would signify the part which the men had taken in University activities. The agitation resulted in giving a certain amount of money to cover the same question has been brought up, but so far the cheer leaders have received no recognition. There has been a certain amount of complaint during the last several years in regard to the scarcity of material for cheer leaders. Only a comparatively few students turn out to compete for this position. The reason is apparent. There activity receives no commendation, no reward. Until the athlete board sees it to take this matter up and make arrangements which will bring out larger numbers of good men to try out as cheer leaders, cheerleading at the University of Illinois will be inferior to that at other institutions. The latter in a great many cases provide emblems to be given to cheer leaders who prove themselves worthy of the title. The University of Illinois does not and until it does, the rooting will no be as efficiently led as it is in other institutions, ammy of them far smirk than this.

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
The nothing of which God creates the world are the eternal possibilities of his will, which are the sources of all the actualities of the world. But as God can only have power over these things in his body, so far as he is open and manifest to himself, and as these eternal possibilities are only known to him in the S.n., the proposition that God creates the world is a parable from the other proposition, that he creates the world through the Son.-Martenson.

RAWTHER EXPENSIVE
The following article, dated from Topeka, is reprinted from the Kansas City Star:
Kansas has wasted $25,000 on the school of mines the last legislature established at Weir City.
Everybody believed the legislature was creating a vocational school in Southeastern Kansas to teach the young men of the mining district to be mining engineers. After the legislature adjourned it was discovered that what really had been established was a full ledged university.
Comte de Champagne—Yes, he still is. He's a bartender now. —Harvard Lampoon.
The board of regents of the state university tried to delay the matter of creating the school in the hope that the coming legislature would correct the law and make it merely a vocational school under the direction of the state university. But a governor compelled the "regents to go ahead and spend the $25,000 appropriated for an independent university.
So the reps established the school. A building was rented and equipped. Three professors were employed to teach the studies designated by law. The $2,000 has been spent, or will be by the end of the year.
What is the result? Three students have applied for admission in the new university—one student for each professor.
It was supposed to be a "mining school," but one of the three students is studying only French. Two of the three are making a regular university course.
The regents of the university say that the equipment of the new school could be utilized at the state university and at the state agricultural college, and thus save a large part of the $25,000 already wasted on the Weir City school if the legislature should decide to abandon it as a university and transform it into a vocational school.
But the law creating the Weir City university specifically demands that the same course of study be maintained there as at the state university. Mining engineering is a part of the course at the agricultural college, also. At the present rate of attendance Kansas is paying $8,333 a year for each of its three pupils in the Weir City university.
And, of course, the $25,000 is only the beginning of the cost to the state. In the coming legislature another appropriation will be necessary. The "down with the taxes" contingent, always present in legislative sessions, will be demanding a reduction in the appropriations for the state university and the agricultural college. But the members from Southeastern Kansas will be here demanding a larger appropriation for the new university with its three students.
The new university is only one hundred miles from the state university, and eleven miles from the state manual training school at Pittsburg. The state university has an elaborate system of labor, the science of mining engineering.

ANNA GEORGE WILL RAIN CALLS HALT UNFOLD NEW SYSTEM ON SOCCER GAMES
To Explain the Meaning of the Montessori Method Of Education
Who is Dr. Montessori? What is the Montessori Method? Who is Anna E. George? These are some of the numerous questions that are being asked of the members of the School of Education of the University.
Anna E, George will analyze the Montessori Method, which is of profound interest to all persons interested in human development and psychological methods of training. She will speak in the chapel in Praser. He will at four o'clock Wednesday afternoon, number 18th. This lecture will be of interest to parents, teachers, physicians, and others alike. All are cordially invited.
A few months ago Anna E. George translated "II Methododella Pedagoga Scientifica," by Dr. Maria Montessori of Italy. This translatation was awaited by educators, physicians, teachers and parents with almost unpredicted interest. This general public interest had been aroused by a series of popular magazine articles stating the wonderful working properties of a set of didactic apparatus with children. Dr. Montessori, the author of this new method, was generally unknown, except to a small body of educational workers in Italy. And it is perhaps fortunate that exaggerated statement he tended to obscure the real value of this system of work.
Dr. Montessori is an enthusiastic whole-hearted worker. She is a trained psychologist. She studied Dr. Sequin's method of work with idiotic children. She conceived the idea that if this method succeeded with subnormal children it must produce results with children of normal ability. She, like Sequin, studied the children and adopted the work to the needs of the individual child. The children of the tenements were first taken. They were taught to wash their hands and faces, to dress to play, to work with plants and animals. They made things within their powers. Simple, yet as a result of these spontaneous exercises, children between three and five years of age learned to read, write, and perform simple arithmetical operations with ease and pleasure. There was no forcing, no punishing. Every child's nature unfolded according to the laws of individual variability. All were happy and made rapid progress in gaining strength and experience.
What is Dr. Montesori's Method? Her method is based upon pedagogical principles, some of which are as old as the days of Socrates. The first principle recognizes the liberty of the child in its spontaneous manifestations and

Coach Root's Rooters Were Forced to postpone First Game
The first game in the interclass soccer series was postponed yesterday on account of wet grounds. The juniors and seniors were to have played but J. Plivus paid a call early in the day and made a long stay.
This afternoon the freshmen and the sophomores will tangle. The weather man has promised a fair day so that the series may continue. The teams are anxious to get together and settle the question of supremacy. Some of the men who played football on the sophomore eleven will also play soccer and will attempt to erase the defeat that the two football team inflicted upon them.
The seniors and juniors will play the postponed game tomorrow, and the final will be played on McCook. Thursday is the start of the tournament with the winners of the two engagements.
The members of the team that wins will get their names engraved on a silver loving cup which the Athletic Association is offering. The cup will always remain in the permanent possession of the Athletic Association.

the utilizing of all of his energy. He must use this energy by self direction. A second principle is that the child should be allowed to work at a task when his interest has been aroused, and for as long a period as the interest lasts. She believes that this develops concentration of attention and habits of action. A third principle recognizes the importance of the natural instincts of the child. The desire to touch, to talk, to see, and especially the desire for muscular activity, all play a prominent part in the child's training.
Physical training plays a very important part in the child's development. The Montessori Method devices carefully to meet the needs of the growing child.
The greatest principle of the Montessori Method is that which transforms the teacher as a taskmaster into the teacher as a scientific observer. He must like the physician, observe, digress, find problems and express his impulses that need stimulation in a natural environment.

NUMBER 66.
MERRY CHRISTMAS 19.02.12
SANTA CAROLINE
MASQUERS SCORE BIG MILITARY HIT
"Boys of Company B" Mad Strong Showing in Initial Appearance
"The Boys of Company B," put on last night at the Bowersock Theatre by members of the Masque Club of the University, was a decided success.
With Lawrence Morris and Miss Helen Woolsey in the leading parts, ably supported by Milton Minor, Elmer Clark, Hazel Williams, and Joe Bishop, the show proceeded to a lively, old-fashioned "villain-holding-the-mortgage" plot to the final clinical clinic with credit to all concerned.
Owing to the fact that six members of the cast were declared ineligible at the last moment by University authorities, the play was put on professionally by the Younggreen Stock Company, directed by Mr. Charles Younggreen.
Judged critically, the show might have been taken from the airdrome circuit, so far as plot and character delineation are concerned. Many of the characters were types. However, a large audience saw the play and in it, most of them that dragged, liked it when things lived up in the following two acts.
You know the story: ambitious mother forcing petite daughter into hated marriage with asinine mutt to satisfy money-thirsty credit; father weak; blundering lovers that bungle things when hero obligates writes note for lisping lover; complication of love-tangle; daughter accepts hated lover to spite herself; sobs, military camp scene, much awkwardness by awkward squad; tight-wad' father of hero jarred loose by desire to soak old enemy; more complications; clinch; curtain.
But there was some mighty good acting by amateurs there last night in spite of the assertions frequently made that the University is very weak dramatic material. Lawrence Morris and Helen Wooley, in their respective leads of "Tony" and "Eileen," certainly deserve unstinted praise for the manner in which they handled difficult and heavy parts. Miss Wooley was altogether charming and vivacious as the company coquette, while Mr. Morris's enthusiasm and dash kept the play moving well.
Milton Minor, as the tight-wad father, lingers with us for various reasons. When he first enters, legs akimbo and with a octogenian cough, he's great fun; but in the excitement of the show he walks out with cough cured, lots of spring in his pedals, and talking in his debating club voice.
Elmer Clark as the asinine suitor played a strong part, carrying his part with probably the greatest ease of any player in the east.
Lawrence Penials, a sophomore in the College last year, will come back for the Beta “Turkey Pull” Friday night.
The play will be given again
Miss Sylvia Abraham, a junior in the College last year, will come for the Pi Phi Christmas dinner tonight.

COUNCIL WANTS RULE FOR MASS MEETINGS
New Morning Class Schedul Proposed for Days Studes Congregate
The question of mass meetings, supposed to have been settled for once and all by the University Council has again bobbed up.
Owing to various rulings that have been made on the matter, the Men's Student Council has requested that a method be devised to make mass meetings are absolutely necessary, more easily obtained. The Council requests:
First: That the Men's or Women's Student Council may call a mass meeting after securing permission from the University Council committee which has charge of the university program. Second: That the University Council shall not grant the request unless given at least two days notice.
Third: The mass meeting shall not be held at chapel if it conflicts with the previously arranged program of the committees, unless the committee sees fit to dispense with its former program.
Fourth: That on days of such mass meetings, the following class schedule shall be adopted:
1st period 8:00 to 8:40
2nd " 8:00 to 9:30
3rd " 8:40 to 10:20
4th " 10:30 to 11:10
© Finally, the Mdn's Student Council shall have charge of the mass meeting and shall see that the privileges granted are not abused.
KRIS KRINGLE CALLS ON
DER DEUTSCHER VEREIN
An old-fashioned Christmas program was given in the Deutscher Verein yesterday afternoon. A Christmas tree lighted by candles and decorated with tinsel was the feature of the entertainment. Boxes of candy, nuts, and apples were distributed among the audience by St. Nick.
Professor W. H. Carruth read the story of the Nativity of Christ and Arthur Mitchell Jr. recited a German Christmas poem. After the program he knelt, as an awake but formal chat while they consumed the contents of their packages.
Miss Mabel Stone, '09, is a guest at the Pi Phi house.
THE STRANGER
A stranger walked the crowded streets. Upon the Christmas Day,
In Tattered coat and ragged shoes,
That Christian folk who passed him by
And saw his patient eyes,
He paused in wonder at the Sight

By Willard A. Wattles.
"But beggar-folk are often shams, And fukirs, don't you know."
While o'or the Stranger's gentle face

Not one in all the goodly throng Who called upon His name
I wish you all a Merry Christmas.
And fakirs, don't you know," With half-averted, doubting glance
Send the Daily Kansan home.
FRANK STRONG,
I gladly take the opportunity offered by the Kansan to extend to the students of the University Christmas greetings. While you are at home for the holidays make your parents and friends acquainted with the serious side of the University. Explain that while the estimates of the University as given in the recent budget are large, they represent no more than the expenditures of other universities of our rank. Make clear that the amount of practical work required is smaller than the cost of matte cost of that work alone for each year of the next biennium being in excess of $60,000. But interpret to them fully the life and spirit of the institution.
That day, or ever, knew Who passed
In lonely words of shame

IS THERE A SANTA CLAUS?
W
WE take pleasure in answering at once and thus prominently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is numbered among the friends of The Sun;
"Dear Editor; I am eight years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says 'if you see it in the sun it's so.' Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus?
Virginia O'Hanlon.
115 West Ninety-fifth Street."
Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the experience of a sceptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men or children's, are little. In this great universe of course man is a mere息ant, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity exist, and you know that they abound and give to our life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreasy as if there were no Virginians. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance, to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.—From the New York Sun.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire them to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.
You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a well-worn, the unseen world which not the strongest man, even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, poetry, love, romance, memory, and picture the supernatural beauty and glory beyond, is it all real! Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.

THERE IS NO PLACE STUDENTS PROTEST LIKE HOME JUST NOW AGAINST STATE TAX
Stampede for Christmas Dinners Begins Friday Noon —or Before Resent Paying Fee Needed for Educational Purposes Into Treasury
Promptly on Friday when the 12:15 whistle blows, the long, unbroken Christmas vacation for 2500 students of the University, men and women, will commence. Not until nineteen good, well-educated students from a drudgerdge of University be resumed.
The question of spending a vacation, and having a good time is not hard for the average student, but just think of the Prof., the poor Prof., who will have to go thru the many thousand Christmas presents of his students and pick out those which he will keep or reject. Christmas for him is like the freedom and joy of a paroled prisoner, it is restricted. But putting aside these vagaries, and unpleasanties which so inopportunity exist, the University in general will spend a pleasant vacation. Dances, parties, hay rides, snow sledding parties, if there is any snow on the ground; theatre, house parties, and all kinds of Christmas festivities are planned for the student when he reaches home.
WHEN SHALL QUIZZES BE
GIVEN—THE QUESTION
As this jovialism, and cheerfulness fixes itself on everything the one sad aspect is the destitute condition of the University. Friday afternoon. No one here to look after it for nineteen days; all the class rooms will be desolate of the vibrant recitations of the students. But the University itself, that is the student body, will take care of the University will take care that each and every one enjoys his holidays, and comes back refreshed for hard work after the vacation is over.
TOPEKA KAN
Student Council Petitions That They Be Not Administered Just Before or Just After Holidays.
So think the students of the University, and the Men's Student Council have taken it upon themselves to ask the faculty of the various schools to think the same way. At present, we have been taught by unsteeing regularity, and students have been put at somewhat of a dead vantage at their proximity to each other.
On account of these conditions, the Mens' Student Council will soon present the following petition to the University Council. The Men's Student Council asks that a resolution be passed by the University Council, which shall address the future. The spirit of the University Council is the giving of examinations immediately following or preceding a legal calendar holiday.
Vacation for the professors means more than the enjoyment of the social, world, it means a time for rest from school work, and gives the professor a chance to spend his time in specializing work. Most of the faculty will leave for their homes as soon as the first outgoing train takes them.
"To flunk or not to flunk, that is the question."
GIRLS GLEE CLUB WILL
CAROL ABOUT NEXT JANUARY

Tomorrow the club will petition the University Council for official recognition in order to plan for a trip to be taken throughout the state in the spring. A concert will be given shortly after Christmas. Elimilar clubs exist at Fairmount and Southwestern.
Miss Hazel Kelley of Paola is visiting at the Pi Phi house.
Protesting against the state law, which orders all student fees to be turned into the state treasury instead of using them for educational purposes, members of the Central Organization of County Clubs yesterday afternoon adopted the following resolution calling for the repeal of the statute:
"Resolved, that the Central Organization of County Clubs believes that the fees which we pay as students of the University should be used to provide the educational facilities which we need and should not be turned into the constituted a tax upon the young men and women of the state who seek education. No other state thus diverts the money paid to its state university and we respectively request the signature to restore these.
"Resolved, further that we pledged to know that our university receives less per student for its maintenance than almost any other university. In other words the income of the university is not in proportion to the wealth of the state nor equal to the amount spent for equal numbers of students in the unified system. We respectfully urge the legislature to invest the needs of our institution, learn of its tremendous and varied fields of service to the state, and give it adequate support. And we further ask that the legislature help towards providing a permanent income for the University, in line with the other states, by submitting a mill tax amendment to a vote of the people at the next election."
CHANCELLOR TALKS ON MILL
TAX IN CHAPEL TOMOROW
Chancellor Strong will speak to the students tomorrow morning in chapel in regard to the mill tax and the appropriation for the University next year. His object will be to ex- service these students so that during Christmas vacation they may work for the best interests of the school.
Spotts to Lecture Harvey's.
The Harvey county K. U. club will hold a reception in Newton on January 3rd for all the high school seniors in the county, Ralph Spots of the University Extension department will give an illustrated lecture on the University. The University club is working in connection with a well organized Alumni association of Harvey county grads which has held several other very successful receptions within the last few years.

Few students, even among those who appreciate the heavy expense of issuing the Daily Kansan, realize that their subscriptions cover only about one-fifth of the cost of the paper. A college paper the size of the Daily Kansan is made possible by its advertising business and the good will of the merchants from whom such business comes. The Daily Kansan understands and wishes its readers to understand the helped which it joins with those who are its regular advertising patterns as well as those whose cards appear in this issue on the Christmas page or elsewhere.
And to its readers, its advertisers, and its many, many good friends, the Daily Kansan, in the words of Tiny Tim, begs to say, "God bless us, everyone!"

WEDNESDA,Y DECEMBER 18
One kind word in time is worth a thousand after death.—From the Chinese.
in needing $1,917,023.17 the University has nothing on the students.
When a University professor casually remarks that he has just had his "map shet" at Con. Squires", we like to protest.
You're going to have a good time Christmas vacation so it seems hardly necessary that the Daily Kansan should extend to you its holiday greeting but for fear that our readers may think we negligent we want to be put on record. Here it is:
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Get away from the roast pork and beef idea as much as possible. Sleep as much as you want to. Don't worry over the morrow "for today we may die." Smile a lot, for quiz week comes in February. Be happy and give the chunks of your brain a rest. Be sure and bring back with you all Christmas neckwear, etc.
When you leave Friday remember the Daily Kansan extends to you all the compliments of the holiday vacation.
"We are pleased to remark," say the professors, "that the high efficiency of class-room work is keeping up to the very last."
"Just charge this until after the holidays." Where have we said that before?
According to boarding house geometry a pie may be produced any number of times. We contend that the truth of the theorem depends upon the shape of the pie when it makes its debut.
LET'S BE SANE
And then, Christmas is such a poor time to give, anyway. The ideal Yuletide spirit bids you think only of yourself. So, whatever your plans have been, change them. Let us follow this great man in his great movement. The poor, we always have with us. If our friends are real, they'll stick to us no matter what
A certain wise man reasoneth thusly; much money is spent Christmas. A man gives most of his presents because he has to, not from the joy of giving. Wherefore, let us have a sane Christmas, and give presents only to children, who really enjoy them. Great man! Great thought! Take home a tinnel camel for little Bobby, and a rag doll for little Mary. Then deliberately shut out the spirit of Christmas. Think of a few of your friends, maybe, but don't send them any little Christmas remembrance or token of your esteem. What's the use? What's the use of society in general, anyway? We can get along without the joy that generally goes with sending gifts. The Bible especially emphaizes the need of not giving.
we do. And we can't get away from our relatives. So, what more appropriate motto could we have at this season of the year than that used by the miller on the Dee, "I care for nobody, no not I, and nobody cares for me."
The hygiene class has been told that it is beneficial to eat apples, Ah, Mother Eve, what can we be sure of nowadays?
Here's hoping that the University may have a merry appropriation and a happy Mill tax.
A correction; faculty, please notice.
Quiz week is in February, not now.

Recent articles in this column concerning the granting of Monday, Jan. 6, 1913, as an additional day of vacation, have no doubt found many sympathizers who have not made themselves known. The last Sunday at home means considerable to those of us who on account of no Sunday trains on the branches, did not feel justified in leaving during the holiday, giving vacation. Let us have the day, even at the sacrifice of Washington's birthday or our customary first of May vacation. In the short time left let us hear from more of the branch-line fraternity.

WOMEN WILL FIGHT IN MILL TAX CAUSE
W. S. G. A. Committee An nounces Plans For Campaign in Holidays
The "Mill Tax" committee of the W. S. G. A. this morning announced their plans for an active campaign among the women voters of the state in the interests of the University. The campaign will be state wide in effect and is planned to begin on Friday with the chance to obstruct some "College Spirit" by doing actual campaign work during the holidays.
The W. S. G. A. expects to exert its influence through correspondence with the women's clubs throughout the state.
"It is the non-federated clubs and country clubs that we wish to reach especially," said Elise Fleason, of the committee, in explaining the work, "and after the holiday vacation we will expect every member to come on the presidents and secretaries of all the clubs in their community."
The committee in charge of the work are: Agnes Engle, chairman; Elsie Flemmon and Bess Bozell.

Wants a Man to Teach General Science in Government School
Roy Stockwell, secretary of the University. Y. M. C. A. has been asked to co-operate in finding an industrial teacher for a Chinese Government school.
The subjects to be taught are the manufacture of sugar, paper, 4eathar, sulphuric acid, alkaliens and general science. Methods of instruction will include shop work and lectures. The school is located in Changtu, the capital of Szczecwan, the largest province in China. The city is known for its mineral wealth and Empire. It is the literary center of a district as large as France, with a population of 45,000,000, and its influence extends indirectly to almost twice that number of people.
"An unmarried man is desired," said Roy Stockwell this morning. "He should be a first-class teacher, and of sterling character, representing the best type of Christian manhood. While this is not mission work in the ordinary sense, a man in this position will have abundant opportunity to leave the impress of his character on the people with whom he works.
"The term of contract will be for one year, with the possibility of renewal. The salary per month is $150 gold, with an allowance for traveling expenses. It is desired that the teacher arrive on time and that he know he have to start immediately, since Changtu is almost three months journey from the United States."
SOCIETY BANQUETS Many Parties and Dances to Occupy Week End for Fussers
There will not be much sleep or study for many University students during the rest of the week. It will be the time for a general jubilee, and there will be banqueting and dancing.
Tonight the Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority will hold its annual Christmas Dinner for which many of the alumni are coming back. The Pi Phis will also have their Christmas Dinner tonight.
Tomorrow night there are three fraternity parties, two of which are to be formal. The Phi Gams will give their "Pig Dinner" at the chapter home, and after this they will take their guests down to Fraternal Aid Hall to dance.
The Sig Alph Annual "Christmas Dinner" will be at the chapter house followed by a舞 at Ecke's. The Stigma Chi "Christmas Tree" will not be formal, and will be at the house.

Clay County Seniors Show Xmas Spirit and Abandon Their Old Program
ELLSWORTH RICK-A CHICKED
SOLOMON BASKETBALL FIVE
By Mabel Simmons.
Clay County High School, Dec. 18. This year a radical change has come about in the Christmas program of this high school. The seniors will not avenge the wrongs done them by the teachers and let their things about them set to gay ragtime.
The juniors who have always presented the faculty with "appropriate" gifts, will have no part whatever in this year's program.
Instead the near-grade will sing a few eases Christmas songs and present a piece of music.

You've never heard of warm snow, have you? Back some distance from the walk, and screened from the street by needle-dressed evergreen trees, sat the house. It was the house for the simple reason: the first act of the evening's entertainment. Outside all was dark, or perhaps it would do just as well to say that all of the dark was outside, for in the parlor a coal fire was burning in the grate and projecting the furniture of the room upon its wall in a shadowy dance. The room was large and as the fire disclosed, richly furnished. In the center of the floor stood a carved library table, heaped with gifts. Santa Claus had already made his call and his horse had been prepared. The coal, he was rich, evidently the family was rich, for there were no children's toys among the packages. The coal in the grate settled down to make a warm night of it.
Back and forth between the table and the fire he traveled with the packages, reading the inscriptions on each. At last he singled out a box wrapped in tissue paper. The inscription read: "Merry Christmas, to Lovey from Wifey." He smiled, seated himself tail fashion before the are and carefully unwrapped the box. For an instant he gazed at it. Then he sighed. A sigh indefinable; perhaps chagrin and sadness; for it to have gripped and gazed stare-eyed at the flames. The clock struck one and called him back from his trance. He arose, and, after rewrapping the package, quietly withdrew.

He entered softly. He stood, tall and thin, his white nightgown contrasting vividly with the dark background of the curtains through which he pushed. For a moment he was still. Then slowly and cautiously he came toward the gift table. He fumbled among the boxes and carried several to the first desk where he met his sister. His expression was a woeful one. His hair was mussed, and his nightgown, that, great national uniform which levels its wearsers to a common democracy, quit its downward tendency with a rush of pink border halfway between his knees and ankles and left exposed the remainder of a pair of bow-legs. For all that his appearance showed, he might have been the only son, or the head of the house, or but what else would it? he was the head of the house. He was young. They, that is, he and his wife, had been married three years.

ing the package he pushed it quickly into his sack. Suddenly the clock began to strike. The burglar jumped and his hat fell before the grate. Someone was coming from the other room. The clock struck three. Three strikes had been made by the burglar. He did not even step to get his hat. But he had one steal to his credit.
Through the curtains came the same white figure of the earlier hours. The fire had taken new life and in the light of it the man's face showed determination. He went to the chair that had held the box. He started when he found it gone. Turning, he saw the hat on the floor and stooped to pick it up. Inside the band he found a white card. It read: "Bunny McNutt, 17 Rooney Row. Of course burglaries in their hat but in this case it is absolutely necessary to the plot. The man looked at the card and smiled. Putting it upon the table, he stepped over to the window, shut it and retired.
THE next day was Christmas and the scene shows. Down the narrow walk that lined the rutty asphalt pavement of Rooney Row, there walked a well-dressed man —yes, the identical one that we have seen in the room in his nightgown the night before. On the corner he met a policeman.
"Officer, can you show me to number 17?" he asked.
When they arrived there the man left the policeman and went to the door alone. His knock was answered by a woman who said with a what's-their-energy look.
“Are yer th' bi doc’” she asked at
one. “The th'男 man's sick.” Bin smokin'
too bloomin’ much. E don't
mind the flies. You'll hell be
raw about it and raise a row.”
The man smiled. "I beg your parion," he interrupted, "but you've got the wrong man. I do, however, owe your good husband a little debt for personal service. Here's my card. Just hand it to him along with this ten-dollar bill. Tell him I wish him a Merry, Merry Christmas."
He turned and walked away. "Poor fellow," he murmured, "I might have had to smoke those cigars myself."

Nebraska Management Plans to Turn Football Field into Skating Rink
A university skating rink is the plan under foot at Nebraska at present. The rink involves the use of the football field which generally is idle all winter, and will mean considerable expenses to the school.
If this plan is carried out the field will be turned into a shallow lake by the use of embankments, and students will be admitted at a nominal fee, both day and night to skate. It is the intention of the management to equip the field with electric lights to enable the students to use it at night.

FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE
THE conflict of Christianity with heathenism has produced dramatic incidents than those which have come down to us, half-history and half-myth, out of a severe swims of northern Europe, where the cross confronted a n d prevailed against the hammer TWO OF THE crises came on the crisis came
at Christmas, which happened to correspond with the Yule festival, at
London.
Longfellow has used one of these stories in "King Olaf's Christmas." Another, in which real religious fervor and moral heroism play a part, is the story of the first Christmas tree. There stands at Altenbergen, in northern Germany, an ancient church built on the slopes of Saint Boulance; and the place of the statue is said to be the site of the first Christian church in north Germany.
Boniface, who must not be confused with any of the nine pipes who bore the name, was a Briton by birth, and his name was Wynfrith. Declining high ecclesiastical honor, he chose to be a missionary to the rude tribes of the German forests. Of these tribes Tacitus tells us, and we know that he was an inducible in war and bloody in their worship, but that among their virtuose was a marked purity of private life and love of home.
Each year these people sacrificed to their gods. One of their holiest shrines was a great oak at Geismar. There they gathered at midnight at the winter solstice, and offered a fair offering to call back the reintering sun.
The legend says that when the tree fell, it left a young fir growing between the shattered branches, and unbroken by their fall. Boniface told them to take that tree to their banquet hall; to serve God with joy and feasting; and to take that tree down. The tree was with roots unsainted with blood, and with evergreen foliage for a symbol of immortality.
Thus they were assembled at the Yuletide in the year 724. As the midnight approached, an old priest raised the hammer to strike down the child. when Boniface interposed a strong arm and an eager wolf that had been seven hundred years before, and how he showed to men that they need offer no more bloody sacrifices. He told them of the love of God and the beauty of his service. The stern men heard and believed. Urged by the hero missionary, they hewed down the daybreak, the scene of so many sacrifices.
If part of the story is myth, it is not all myth; and it is surely a beautiful story. It is also one of the most beautiful of Christmas customs - Youth's Companion.

Ober's HEAD-TO-FOOT OUTFITTERS
COACHES SATISFIED WITH PRESENT RULES
Eastern Authorities Call It Ideal Game-Few Minor Changes Suggested
Judging from the matter of attendance, football is increasing in popularity to a large extent. From every section of the country come reports resounding with praise of the new rules. It seems that the Rules Committee have at last hit on a system of ruling which makes the ideal football game. But few alterations need be made in this year's ruling and it is the consensus of opinion that this change will leave the present rulings alone. These few minor changes are suggested by Mr. McCormack in a recent article on College Football.
Wallie McCormack was a former Dartmouth player, and later coach of the Northwestern football eleven and is one of the closest students of the game in the country. He recently stated it was his opinion that the goal after a touchdown should be abolished. This has been the aim of many conches for the last five years and strenuous efforts are sure to be made to have it stricken from the code next season.
It only is a matter of football history as to the number of games which have been decided by goal kicks. The opposing team has one
chance in a hundred to stop the progress of the ball, because it has to line up behind the goal line and generally is from ten to fifteen yards away from the kicker.
The players of the team which has been scored upon cannot charge to block the attempt until the oval touches the ground. As the kicker is seldom more than a yard away from the ball before he kicks, and as the defending eleven is at least ten yards away, it does not give the blocking aggregation an equal chance to block the kick.
No matter whether the ball touches the ground at a spot twenty yards back of the spot where it was put in play, the oval is brought back to the point of the preceding down and the ball is a down inflicted. If the ball had to take this line of scrimmage forward passes would be used more sparingly.
Another rule which is sure to be changed is allowing forward passes to be uncompleted behind the line of scrimmage. A foxy quarter back or a clever forward passer can raise havoc with an opposing eleven by running back, and when he cannot throw the ball to an eligible player can create an because of the opposing eleven charging toward him he has to do is to throw-the ball forward a yard or two and the pass becomes incomplete.
Throwing the ball out of bounds down the field twenty or thirty yards is another ruling which has not met with popular approval. As the ball goes to the defending eleven at the end of the play, the opposing team does not have a chance to catch the ball and run it back.
SENIORS VICTORS IN FINAL CONTEST
Beefy Upper-Class Men Too Much For Coach Bond's Youngsters
Youngsters
The seniors started the contest with a rush, and before the end of the first quarter the fourth-year men had the ball on the freshman ten-yard line. But a fumble gave the ball to the tyros and then they began a steady march across the field in first quarter ended with the ball in possession of the seniors on their ten-yard line.
In the second quarter, after an exchange of punts, with the ball in possession of the fourth-year men in midfield, the seniors kicked and Plank, the left end, recovered the punt and ran to a touchdown. Goal was kicked.
The rest of the game was just a see-saw with neither team having any advantage. The tyros could not hit the line nor run the ends successfully, and resorted to the forward pass during the play. If all of the ball was taken out frequently and the teams did not display as much ginger as on Saturday.
The seniors lined up as follows left end, Plank; left tackle, McMillin left guard, Hoyt; center, Share; right guard, Tillburg; right tackle, Hansen right end, Rambo; quarterback, Rhine left half, Brown; right half, Sheerur and full back Burke. Substitutes Butler and Keplinger.

The above are the total appropriations asked for by each of the state educational institutions for the years 1914 and 1915. The total is an increase of $2,324,574 over the total amount allowed to the state institutions by the legislature two years ago for the years 1912 and 1913.
State Auditor W. E, Davis is submitting the complete list of budgets to the legislature just as they were submitted to him by the different institutions.
"I particularly call attention of the legislature to the requests for large sums for the building of student dormitories. Educated men are quite undecided as to the advantage of student dormitories in state institutions. s. They are usually constructed, furnished and operated with a degree of luxury and
extravagance that is out of harmony with the home life of the student and breeds idleness and foppery. The state would have to maintain supervision of the dormitories and this would add greatly to the increasing army of employees on the state payroll. There is no satisfactory showing that the localities where these schools are situated are unable to furnish good accomodation for students. I hope the legislature will accept this question in such a manner as to leave no doubt as to the policy of the state in this regard."
The university budget failed to include any estimate for the school of mines and metallurgy at Wetr City and makes no recommendation regarding it.
The state university, which asks for $1,914,784, was allowed a total of $442,170 by the legislature two years ago. It asks for $236,000 for a section of the administration building, $15,000 for the electrical engineering laboratory, $50,000 for an educational building, $50,000 for the excavation and foundation of a hospital, $80,000 for the laboratory at $25,000 for a biological laboratory building and $54,000 for improvements. Two years ago the legislature allowed the university a total of $52,000 for new buildings and improvements.
The State Agricultural college, which is asking for a total of $1,045,000 wants an increase of $141,424 over the amount allowed two years ago. The total asked for includes $82,500 for maintenance and $200,000 for new buildings.
The State Normal school, which is asking for a total of $901,000, w owed $348,800 two years ago. It $40,000 for maintenance, $100,000 general recitation building, $200,000 a main building and auditorium, $70,000 for special improvements. It was allowed a total of $35,000 for new buildings two years ago.
The other institutions make requests for new buildings in about the same proportion. The Hays Normal wants an auditorium, a gymnasium and a dormitory. Western university wants a residence for the superintendent costing $6,000. The Fort Hays Agricultural college branch asks for nothing for new buildings. The colored Industrial and Educational institute near Topeka, wants $25,000 for a water and sewerage system and added land. The Pittsburg branch of the State Normal wants a library building costing $60,000, a gymnasium costing $100,000, a girl's dormitory costing $80,000, a power plant costing $50,000, more ground and equipment.
