Professor Millikan is one of the foremost physicists in America and has received universal recognition from all the world for his extensive work in physical science and as an author of numerous text books and articles that have come to be used almost every high school and university in the country. One of his greatest achievements in scientific literature is his translation from the German of Drude's "Theory of Optics." Likewise his various articles on the modern electron theory are now accredited with being the most complete and comprehensive works published twenty years. Professor Millikan is now one of the editors of "The Physical Review."
Sigma Xi to Give Reception
Besides his purely academic work he has taken an active part in different scientific societies, and at different times has held such important of all the scientific societies as the American Scientific society. Professor Kester of the physics department in speaking of him this morning said, "Millikan is not only a fine scientist, but also an excellent speaker and every inspiring."
Professor Millikan and his wife will arrive in Lawrence Friday morning, and will be accompanied by his sasor and Mrs. Kester while here. He will be given a reception by the honorary scientific fraternity, Sigma Xi Friday night, in Chicago. Professor and Mrs. Millikan will leave Saturday afternoon for their home in Chicago.
the baseball schedule will be arranged, also.
CUT OUT THE COFFIN NAILS
Professor W. A. McKeever Says Cigarette Habit Is First Step Toward Alcoholism
NUMBER 56.
"Kansas is on the eve of a desperate fight with the cigarette evil," said Prof. W. A. McKeever today. "And when it develops to the limit it will be a fierce contest between the relatives and friends of the Kansas youth. Millions of dollars will be at stake in this fight. Already the Attorney General of the State has written to all the county attorneys asking them to tighten up the enforcement of the State Federation of Women's Clubs, the W. C. T. U., the State Teachers' Association, the Child Welfare Department of the University, and thousands of individuals acting singly—all these are joining activity in an attack on the arch enemy of the Kansas youth.
"I appeal to the students of the University to cut out the use of cigarettes for the sake of the institution, for the sake of the boys of Kansas being the students being the cigarette is the first step toward alcoholism. It is the ally of juvenile delinquency, and sex perversion. The University student who requests a friend's friendship to law and no sense of responsibility to the younger generation of boys. The Lawrence high school is one of the worst in the State for cigarette infection and the pastry students for setting the bad example.
"When I go out on a child welfare and attempt to outline some methods for the prevention of the youthful vice of cigarette smoking the people turn upon me with the charge that this evil is most common in Kansas. This charge, a vast diversity of Kansas. This charge is difficult to meet and it is often most embarrassing. So again, I appeal to the young students here, cut out the 'coffin nails,' help maintain the traditional Kansas spirit, help us to win in our fight and to preserve the tradition of the thousands of younger boys who are looking to you for an example of manliness."
Prof. F. B. Dains talked on the subject "Relation of Organic Chemistry to Pharmacy" before the Pharmaceutical Society yesterday morning in the lecture room in the Chemistry building.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 1, 1915.
W. S. G. A. HAS RAISIED
$25.00 FUND FOR TREASURY
Twenty-five dollars was raised toward the completion of the W. S. G. A. scholarship fund, by that body August 16, the moving picture benefactor, gave it and the lifting of the ban on mid-week dates combined to net the sum.
MAY DEBATE AT BOWERSOCK
Argument With Huskers Will Probably Be in Theater, Business Man-
ager Says
The Nebraska-Kansas debate, to be held in Lawrence on December 10, may be given at the Bowersock Theater instead of Fraser Hall Chapel, which made this morning by Harold Mattoon, business manager of the debate.
"It all depends upon whether we 'will be able to pay for the extra cost of giving the debate at the Bowersock," he said. "The majority of the audience at debates is formed of people who are not academics or athletic tickets. If we can guarantee enough cash admissions, the debate will probably be taken down-town."
The Kansas teams—which are now working on their material for the debate—will make trips to three Kansas towns and give their debate, before "springing it" on the Cornhuskers. In this way the speakers will be enabled to secure practice in speaking before strange audiences.
Better stage facilities, and the creation of wider interest through presentation at the Bowersock, are for changing the place of debate.
PLAY COMPETITION IS KEEN
Fifty Dollar Prize Has Brought Out Many Contestants—Seniors May Produce the Production
Considerable interest is being shown in the Drama Prize Competition being conducted by the University Dramatic Club, according to Prof. Arthur MacMurray, director of the Arthritis Association committee. Nine people have entered the contest, and will submit their plays sometime before January 10. The author of the best play will be awarded a prize of fifty dollars. If his play is such that it can be proclaimed by the senior class at commencement.
"Prospects certainly look fine," said Professor MacMurray this morning, "and it appears as though we are going to get good results. I sincerely hope we secure a high class play. I know that there are students in the University who can write them, if they will only try."
Choose Familiar Subject
"Stick close to the things you are familiar with," was the advice of Stuart W. Warnock of Portmantueau Theater, to the competitors. His words were reiterated by Professor MacMurray. "Get a play about college life," he said. "Grasp the things around you, and put them into your story. College students more than anyone else should know college life, and are consistently fitted to write about it."
Professor MacMurray stated this morning that he would be glad to talk with any prospective contestant. He will be in his office, Room 6 of Green Hall, any time after 9:30 o'clock on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
If the prize winning play is produced by the seniors, it will be published, according to Professor Mac Murray.
Years ago when there was no higher education in Kansas S. N. Simpson together with a few others interested, began this campaign to establish a large personal subscriptions had been collected to buy a suitable site, the first building was created. Mr. Simpson, besides his connection with the early life of K. U., was always a loyal friend. He was also active in state politics.
In the death of S. N. Simpson this week the University of Kansas has lost a friend and benefactor. The deceased was held yesterday in Lawrence.

Wear Those White Tags Again Tomorrow!
The earnest appeal from Charles F. Scott for the cause of Beigium opened many hearts this morning. White tags were sold as fast as the Y. W, women could dispose of them after convocation, but many complaints have been made to the effect that those who wanted to contribute could not find anybody to take the money.
Tomorrow will be Tag Dag, too. Wear your white tags again and tell everybody to come on the Hill with some money. Y. W. women will be stationed in every building on the campus and everybody will have a chance to give. Starving women and children, wounded soldiers and wandering students on the old continent appeal to you for help.
EVERYBODY—WEAR A WHITE TAG TOMORROW!

Frank M. Corteloyu who graduated with honors from the School of Engineering of the University in 1908, is superintending the construction of a dam that will span the Columbia river connecting Portland, Oregon, with Vancouver, Washington, a distance of 17,200 feet. There are approximately 2,225 men employed on the works at the total cost is estimated at $1,750,000.
Cortelyou, who was a Sigma Nu and also a member of the honorary scientific society. Sigma Xi, was an awarded professor at whom great things were expected.
The two south rooms which are now used as zoology laboratories were then used as the gymnasium. Iron pillars stood in the middle of the. The storeroom was used as a locker room. There were only two showers.

Jayhawker to Have Most Elaborate Athletic Section Ever Used in Year Book
An athletic section that will be one-fourth larger than that in any previous Annual will be a feature of the 1916 Jayhawker, according to a statement made this morning by E. M. Hines. It is important that will the section-be larger, but its contents will be such that it should be two-fold more interesting.
Instead of the long, tedious "reviews of the season" which have become almost traditional with the Jayhawker of past years, individual statistics of the track, baseball, and basketball athletics will be given. The conference standing of all teams, and other statistics of a similar nature, and the compiled, will also be included. The write-ups of both men and teams will be brief, snappy, and as full of pep as an "Oh Me!" for Missouri.
Send the Daily Kansan home.
Many Individual Pictures
Illustrations in the section will be one of its strongest features. Individual pictures of all major sport athletes will be used—something that has been unheard of in the past. Snapshot men have been busy during the entire football season, getting views of the games; and twelve picture shots of the players will be used in a feature section. Pictures of track meets and of basketball games wil also be secured for this department of the book.
A sure cure for ivy poisoning is a feature of the paper by Dean Sayre, which appears in volume 27 of the Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science. Dean Sayre advises a student to wear an alcohol, to be applied with a pledge of cotton and immediately removed with dry cotton.
DEAN TEMPLIN IS ENJOYING HIS VACATION
The minor sports are to be given more space than has been allotted to them in books of previous years, Tennis, soccer, and the work of the gym classes will all be "played up," according to Editor Johnson.
IMPORTANT PAPERS READ
AT SCIENTIFIC MEETING
A letter was received at Dean Tempini's office yesterday from the Dean, who is now enjoying a rest in the hills of North Carolina. "There is nothing like it," says Mr. Tempini, "the beautiful weather and splendid scenery is invigorating to say the least." The Dean expects to leave North Carolina this week for Brandon. He will be away on the Christmas holidays with his sister. He left Lawrence the middle of November.
A discussion of the Mason fruit jar, by Agnes Anderson Murray, showed that this popular utensil is short a half point in the quart sizes, and that the zinc caps are very unsanitary.

TO HELP FRESHMEN WOMEN
CHOOSE THEIR VOCATIONS
A canvass of the freshmen women is being made by their advisors to see what per cent of them wish to up vocations other than teaching.

The Association of Collegiate Alumni is investigating the new fields open to women and feeling its way to help the freshmen women who do not care to follow teaching as a vocation. A representative of the Board who is acquainted with all the positions in our work will be here in the near future to talk upon the different lines of work. open to women.
The University of Kansas hospital is small and inadequate when compared with the hospital at the University of Nebraska which is equipped to care for 3,000 students besides giving practical instruction in nursing. The University of Kansas here is furnished with eight beds. Serious cases are not accepted but are sent to the University hospital in Kansas City.

HELP BELGIAN CHILDREN
Charles Scott Urges Loosening Purse Strings to Foreign Waifs of the War
"Never before in the history of the human race has there been a situation so appealing as is the present situation of Europe," Charles F. Scott, ex-congressman and well-known promoter of the Belgian relief movement, in an address delivered in chapel this morning in the heart of the Belgian Christmas fund.
Kansas Sent Flour
"I can think of no more touching purpose than that of bringing a Christmas to the poor little waifs of Belgium," the distingished Kansan continued. "The whole world drops away from a child who awakens Christmas for him. You now have the opportunity to help bring happiness to over 100,000 children who otherwise would have no Christmas."
Vividly picturing conditions in Belgium as he found them when he was there in charge of distributing the shipment of four sent last year to Kansas, Mr. Scott emphasized the recently released organization of the American relief commission in its operations both this and the other side of the water. This commission, he said, has thus far been able to operate at an expense of only to per cent of the turnover, the lowest of any charity organization in the country. This organization has from 50 to 80 relief ships on the seas all the time.
The University and state of Kansas have been foremost in the relief movement, according to Mr. Scott. Millard Schuyler, the first man to recognize a relief committee and to secure a shipment of provisions from England, was a graduate of K. U. Law. He was a highly respected secretary of the American-Belgian Relief Commission, which positions he holds today. Herbert C. Hoover, chairman of the Commission, is a resident of Iola, Kansas.

The speaker also commented upon the almost worshipful thankfulness of the many entertain for the United States, the United States, Louvain was rebuilt, he said, the big plaza was named the Plaza of the United States.

"The Future of the Drama" is the title of a lecture which P. B. Shoast, of the department of English, will the Quill Club at the Research Fraser Hall. Mr. Shoast is a diligent student of the drama, and has some original, and perhaps startling, will tell of this evening at 8 o'clock.
"The Drama and the Movies;" "The Drama and the Mob;" and "The Revolt in Art" are some of the topics which Mr. Shostac will discuss. He believes that the drama is the high-tech art, and attempts to prove his theory, talking about "The Inter-Relation of the Seven Arts."
Contray to the announcement in last night's Kansan, Mr. Shostac will not deliver a "series of lectures" but will instead post them tonight. "I wish you would please correct that impression," he said to a reporter this morning. "That comment that I am to discuss the 'Western Contemporary Drama' is ridiculous."

An honest day's work,
A day's honest pay.
Give their own thanks,
Forever and always.

WE DON'T "PIKE" EITHER That was too bad, Missouri.
And so, after allowing your Glee Club to come to Lawrence last year at the expense of the University of Kansas, you "piked" on your part of the contract and could not see how you could afford to pay the Jayhawker songsters' way "clear down" to Columbia.
Well, well. How much further is it from Lawrence to Columbia and back than it is from Columbia to Lawrence and return?
We may not get as much money from the state legislature as some universities it might not be well to mention (personalities are barred on this page) but we always live up to our contracts.
OFF FOR EUROPF
Someone said Kansas won a little football game last Thanksgiving Day. There! Take that, and that, and that, and suffer.
Even though the iron-lung season is over, we must open up and give nine rahs for Pringle. Kansas is proud of him. Henry Ford will have a brainy man, a clear thinker and an A1 student on that ship of his when it leaves New York Harbor. Pringle represented the local society of the International Polity Club at Utica last summer and came back to Lawrence this fall with some fairly definite opinions about this war and peace business.
A good trip to you, Pringle. When you feel lonese, get out in the middle of those battlefields and give a Rock Chalk. Somebody will be around to respond.
If Henry needs any advice, he can call on Pringle. Maybe Kenneth will take it into his head to tell Kaiser Bill the market price of Tiger meat in Columbia, Mo. But whatever he does, Kansas is with him.
Just one parting appeal: Please don't drive back to Lawrence next spring in a Ford.
ANOTHER LITTLE THING
It's the little things that count.
THEY HAVE A PLACE
One enterprising Futurist author wrote a book totally without punctuation marks. At the end he added a page of nothing but punctuation. In a brief note he requested the intelligent public to salt and pepper to taste. The lack of interest in his work is displayed by the fact that even his name is lost.
To the person of imagination, the symbols of punctuation are not merely
a device for the torment of the first grader—comma count two, period five, semicolon four—but they seem to call up vivid pictures from daily life.
The question mark is a fat policeman, with shoulders, well back and questioning eyes on all men. The exclamation point might be a khaklai clad soldier, straight and tail in his uniform, emphasizing our nation's safety. The gentle period, with all its unobrusive finality says "Stop." It never hurts you until you try to walk over it, like a honey-bee or a hotel pillow.
The uncertain comma must be a discouraged dog with drooping tail. No one knows just where to put it and it is cuffed about without rule and at will. It will patiently try to fill the place of a better unit, and failing, finds no mercy.
Without these friends of the printed page, the public would indeed be a ship without a rudder; or as a stranger in a strange land, with no interpreter between him and the printer, he would neither understand nor be understood.
IT IS A SHAME
Why can't we let the Masters be?
They give us a living, throbbing masterpiece and we—we sit down to fuss about what the author really meant,
just as if the value of a work does not depend upon what it means to us,
instead of what it means to the author.
A poet may be a devil; yet express divine emotions. Now the fact that he is a devil is of no particular literary value, but his poetry does interest us intensely.
If you wish a sociological study of the author, make it; but in the name of reason let ur not mar all the beauty of a thought by dragging in a chumsy human even though he be the author.
Just to think! We may never know what philosophical euridion Browning intended in "My Last Dutchess." What downright mental anguish it causes one not to be sure we have dissected "Fra Lippo Lippi" as Browning conceived the old sinner. And Tennyson! What did he mean "The Lady of Shalot" to represent; what was Shelly's conception of Alastor?
Alas! Most of us never get beyond the gigantic word pictures Browning paints for us in his monologues, or the melody and rhythm of Tennyson's poems, or the dizzy wonder of being hurled through space on the tail of that comet, Shelly's Imagination.
Fortunately for such plebians in literary criticism, we shall always have with us those of the Higher Appreciation Caste.

You might get up, and after excusing yourself, to the professor first, then to the class, retire without disturbing anybody. A better way, I say, is to do it while at and at 20 minutes past, gently close your folder and spread your napkin and lunch on it. Everybody will understand after the first few times, and there will be no objections. Try if it does not work, write again.

Animals seem to have a great fondness for me. I begin to think I must be endowed with a magnetic personality. The other day as I was walking through the park, a squirrel ran up to me and sniffed at me. Was it was with some difficulty that I evaded the creature. Can you explain this phenomenon?

"Before we fall into an argument about this let us define precisely what we mean by Social Snobbery Social Snobbery is something distinct from ordinary snobbishness Any half-wit can be snobbish if he believes himself to be unique among the master minds of history, too subtitle to be appropriate a large group of people can practice SOCIAL snobbery. Social Snobbery is the assumption on the part of one group of individuals, that certain other groups of individuals, do not or need not, exist. When one woman ignores another woman because she does not like her, that is mere snobbery. But when one group of women designates another group the name Wise Woman that identifies social Snobbery. The art of Social Snobbery consists in regarding Your crowd as the Leaven or Society, disposing of the rest of the world as Uncultured Majority.

WANT GOOD GOLF LINKS
A movement to put the golf links in playing condition next spring is being agitated by several members of the faculty. Good golf links are an asset to the school, in the opinion of many students and professors.
Professors and Students Join in Movement to Put Grounds in Playing Condition
The Board of Administration last spring authorized J. M. Shea, the superintendent of grounds, to pro-rate with the golf players the expenses of the course and to up to the present time there has been no co-operation, owing to the lack of organization on the part of the golf players and the inclination on the part of the University to let some one join the links as long as they would do so.
Club Paid the Expenses
Last year, as had been done for several years previously, the University Golf Club paid the expenses of keeping up the links, but since the orchard has been closed, we have become weakened so it is now impossible for the club to continue.
The golf links at the present time are in poor condition. The grass is long, and the blue-stem stands over a foot high. The ravines and some of the finest clumps of trees are full of weeds.
"There was so much rain here last summer that it was impossible to keep the grass down," said Prof. H. D. Bassam, a professor of engineering who done to get the links in shape for next spring. I am not interested in the links merely from a golf playing standpoint, as it makes a fine place for the students to stroll and picnic. We had to look advantage of this, but this fall I very seldom see any one out there."
Some Play at Country Club
Many of the faculty are members of the Country Club, but it is the opinion of Prof. M. W. Steeling that they should be using a place to play golf close at hand.
"The students must have a place on the campus if they are to play at all," he said. "The fee for student membership to the Country Club is twenty-five dollars, and at present there are few student members; neither is there likely to be many with such an exorbitant fee."
"I would be willing to pay my share to keep up the links," Registrar G. O. Foster declared. "I would like to see the ground kept in good shape, not that I play golf very often, but if I should ever want to play I would not have time to go out to the Country Club."
Is Good Form of Amusement
"I think it would be a good thing" is the way Prof. F, B. Dains expressed it. "I do not see why the students should not be given a chance to play golf as well as to participate in the other forms of athletics."
"Some persons have the notion that golf is an old man's game, but that is not true," said Professor Sterling "The young fellow with a strong arm and a good eye makes the best golf player."
As a game, golf is being played more each year; universities all over the country are taking it up, and many have teams.

TALK VALLEY ATHLETICS
Representatives of All Schools Will Meet in St. Louis This Week
The Missouri Valley Conference schedules for basketball, baseball and track will be determined at a meeting of the officials of the Conference in St. Louis, Friday, and each school will be represented by Prof. E. W. Murray and Manager Hamilton will be the Kansas representatives in the meeting.
Arrangement of the schedules is only one of the many matters taken up at the Conference meeting. In fact, it is only a side issue. All matters are dealt with with the control of vehicles in the Valley will be taken up. Any eligibility disputes will be settled as will all other disputes.
Post Season Games?
One thing of interest to be brought before the meeting will be Nebraska's petition for changing the Conference games. The rule as it now stands
prevents any team from playing a game after the regular schedule. This clause alone prevented the Cornuskers from playing in吉林 this match, and it would be deemed perhaps a change will be made. The matter of playing Conference games on foreign gridirons will also be taken up but it is not thought that the game could take the Missouri-Kansas game back to Kansas City.
The Kansas basketball squad will watch the results of the meeting with a good deal of interest for their schedule will be arranged at that time and they will not have a very long time to play. The first battle will probably be in Ames a couple of weeks after the holidays. One thing the squad will hope for is that the Cornhuskers will appear on the Jayhawk schedule. Last year Kansas avenged the 35 to 0 football score against the Rangers and the men feel that the 33 to 0 score needs just as much revenge.
The track schedules, indoor and out, will be determined partially at that time. The Conference games of baseball schedule will be arrange also.

SPORT PICKUPS
At Columbia they are still talking about what they would have done if the field had been dry. They think that the Missourians could have outrun the heavy Jayhawks and that it has have been a regular track meet.
Of course, the Kansans are satisfied. But there is no question in Lawrence about what would have happened on a dry field. How many goals could Louis Loup have scored with a dry field? Would Missouri have made their lone touchdown on a dry field? What if the men had had a chance to use some of the open style plays which OleTTo had taught the team to Missouri but reminds the Tigers that they should be thankful the field was wet.
But what is the use of all the post mortem stuff? The game is in history and the Tiger tail has another knot in it. A couple of track events with a big basketball knots will also make things look good — from our point of view.
Columbia people are afraid that the visitors in their metropolis did not have a good time standing around in the rain. They feel that some spirits may have saved them, but visitors will not want to come back again. But then it was not the fault of the citizens of that city and they have even started their police force out to find one J. Pluvis. A severe penalty is to be imposed if you need the Lawrence police force to help you, Columbia? Yes. We'll send em' both.
The University of Washington finished it's season with a victory. That makes eight years of playing without a single defeat. Now Yale is bidding against the Gophers for the Washington coach, Dobie.
It is discouraging for Kansas to enter a cross country run and only take the first five places in the meet. Maya Hill will show up better against Missouri.
Imagine being in the press box trying to take an accurate report of the game with your copy paper soaked and the rain beating down on you. We prefer to be on the field in football!
Some of the football men will take it easy until spring. Some will do no more until next fall. But some others will start right now to make the basketball team. Others will get in shape and play back into baseball. Very few athletes work out only during the season of their favorite sport.
PROFESSORS SPEAK AT
PUBLIC HEALTH SCHOOL
Fourteen K. U. professors will deliver lectures in the spring for Public Health Education at Topeka, which will be in session during the coming winter and spring.
The school meets every Monday afternoon for two lectures, in the fall and spring, and although the general public is invited, special work is outlined for nurses and physicians regularly enrolled in the course. Certificates of attendance are given to those who complete a certain amount of outside addition to attending the lectures.
Among the University professors who will deliver lectures during the course are Chancellor Strong, Dean F. W. Blackman, Dean S. J. Crumbine, Dean L. Sayre, and Prof. C. A. Haskins, State Sanitary Engineer.

FEW OUT FOR PRACTICE
Freshmen and Sophomores Have Many Aspirants for Interclass Football Laurels
While 300 class football aspirants have checked out suits for the interclass games which are to be played between now and the Christmas vacation only a few showed up for practice last evening. There were six sophomores, six juniors, and fifteen seniors on McCook Field.
Head Coach "Beau" Olcott, who with the assistance of the Varstiy squad will have supervision of the teams, announced the coaches for the different classes, last night. The coach will be appointed by Bonnie Reber, Jick Fast, Fritz Meyn, Humpty Wilson, Jesse Kabler and Lous Flechet; the sophomores by Speed Heath, Shorty Strothers, Lester Gillespie and Vincent Smith, junior teams. The varsity Fitz- Eugene McKone, Edward Todd and Dutch Ruble; the seniors by Walter Wood, Ross Keeling, Babe Hammond, Adrian Lindsay and Sleepy Holt. Some of the members of this year, including the head coach of the Varstiy and the regular coaches to get the class hopeful in condition.
Freshmen to Start Series
"There have been many suits checked out," said Coach Olcott last evening, "but the men are not showing up on the field. If they don't intend to practice I wish they would check in their suits and give some one else a chance. I don't know when the first game will be played but freshmen and sophomores will play probably a week from Wednesday. On the following Friday, December 15, there will be a tournament. This will bring it down to the finals and on Wednesday afternoon, December 15, the final game will be played for the championship. This will end the inter-class series before Christmas."
From the present outlook the juniors have gotten a lead on the other teams, although not enough to convince them of their team. Alfred Hill who played quarter-back for the State Normals two years ago is after his old position, as is Harlowe who was an old team mate of Hill. Bud Cowley is also out and shows promise of making another big run into squads and drilled last evening in the fundamentals of passing, kicking and falling on the ball.
Niles Lost to Sophomores
The sophomore team, which won the championship last year when they were freshmen will feel the loss of Johnny Niles when they start on their climb to another championship. Last year Niles won the final game from the juniors when he got away on a long run for a touchdown in the last few minutes of play. Although the seniors are too busy to play games they will have to be reckoned with when it comes to the championship. They played the freshman last year, as juniors, and would have won the game if some track man had shown up who could have caught Johnny Niles.
The number out last evening, compared to the number of suits checked out, shows that many are not appearing at practice. The first game is less than a week off and the beginners need all the training they can get. Consequently the coaches want all the men out every night.
True Thanksgiving Spirit
Rev. E. A. Edwards, pastor of the Episcopal church addressed about one hundred women at Y. W. Tuesday afternoon, on "The True Thanksgiving Spirit". Mr. Edwards said that God takes them away from us," said goodness and that by making the best possible use of our opportunities we are showing the true thanksgiving spirit. "If we are ungrateful God takes them away from us," said Mr. Edwards, "the thankful spirit is the greatest gift of God."

Juniors and Seniors Do Not Have Enough Men Out to Make a Team
If the freshmen and sophomores continue to come out for practice like they have the last few nights and the juniors and seniors fail to show up, there will only be one inter-class football game this year. The freshmen had thirty-two and the sophomores thirty in suites yesterday, while the juniors and seniors did not have enough out to make a complete team.
Freshmen Working Poorly
Freshmen Working Poorly
The freshmen were divided into teams and scrimmaged for a while last week, but then put through some of the fundamentals of kicking and passing. "The freshman do not look as good as they have in former years," said Coach Fritz Meyn last evening, "they are green and it seems as if they can not get the plays in their head. They will work with each other over the rest of the week and maybe by the first game they will be better."
"We are giving a clash talk tonight to the sophomore squad and hope to drill a few plays into them by the aid of the crayon and blackboard even when asked what his proteges were doing. "We have some good men out and with the nucleus of last year's champions we will win our games. "Youterday afternoon the year after, we look through some signals and stiff scrimmage.
Juniors Have Two Stars
The juniors have two men out who are old stars at the game and should with the aid of a few more players be able to work up a good team. The senior class will work on a team of the four and need about five more men before they can begin work in earnest. As they had only six men out last evening, from the present day, we would resort to conscription to hold up their laurels in the post-season combats.

He has made all of the profits for selling the goods. Last year Choyei Kondo came to the University himself to sell his goods and made a hundred dollars. This year he couldn't come, but sent sixty dollars worth of articles to be sold. He went to all of things from which to choose. Among the collection of articles on sale are: Japanese prints, calendars, Japanese cases, sacchet bags, boter pads, and pincushions.

"We expect an attendance of at least 250," said Howard Martin, chairman of the committee, this morning. "We'll have a short program, and serve refreshments, of course; but the main business of the evening will be that of getting the men to meet one another."

MISS MULLEN DECLINES MANY BUY WHITE TAGS
Will Not Accompany Ford or Expedition Because of School and Parental Objections
Elanice Mullen, who was invited by Henry Ford, to accompany his party on its peace mission to the warring nations of Europe has declined because he wore this year and because of parental objections. Miss Mullen received a telegraph last evening from Mr. Ford, saying that he would be glad to have her accompany him as his guest and leave New York some time Saturday.
"I am heartily in sympathy with the idea," said Miss Mullen last evening, "but I don't believe I can accept, although I will think it over and do nothing to harassing." Mr. Eustace Brown telegraphed Mr. Ford this morning asking him if another representative should be named. No word has been received yet an account of the case probably; no one will be named.
Kenneth Pring, who was also invited by Mr. Fowl, left yesterday morning for New York. Pringle will tail on the peace prize Oscar II some Saturday with other other presidents of Mr. Ford's peace jersey.
Prof. Dunlan Lectures
Prof. Charles G. Dunlap, in the English department, lectured in the Administration building Wednesday night before the Graduate Club. Professor Dunlap talked of Robert Louis Tolstoy through the English writer's use of the doctrine of happiness both in his writings and in his own life.
Fifty Y. W. C. A. Women Gathe Funds to Send to Europe's Unfortunates
The tags for the Belgian Christmas Fund and Students' Fund are flying from the button-holes of dozens of students, and dimes, quarters, and even dollars are filling the boxes of the fifty or more Y. W. girls, who are attending school, where an amount turned in was seventy-six dollars. "However, we expect to reach the hundred mark today," said Miss Gittins, this morning, "because many who wished to buy, forgot their money or did not know about the sale."
It was not all smooth sailing, and in true salesman fashion, many of the women endured flat and even discounted refusals. Two of the tag-aways for the Medic Building were not received with a very warm welcome. One of the girls was offered "four-bits" if she would tie a tag on the toe of a "stiff". Very bravely she approached it, but the sight was too much, and even the stitch which money for a little hungry Belgian was not worth such a sacrifice.
PROFESSOR JONES WILL
TELL ABOUT WATER WHEEL
"Money is still coming in," said J. M. Johnson, chairman of the Senior Memorial Committee this morning, when asked concerning the memorial. No definite plans for the class gift will be made until all of the money is collected, then a fund which will all collect the fund will be built. Over a hundred dollars is now in the treasury.
Memorial Fund Grows
More than 100 stereopie views of the Peton water wheel will be shown at a combined meeting of the mechanical, civil and electrical engineers in Marvin Hall this evening. The Peton water wheel, which the impulse type is the most famous wheel, in commercial use today.
The views, which have been shipped to Lawrence direct from the Pelton company's mammoth plant at San Francisco, will show that as it takes form in the factory and does its work in the industrial field.
As the slides are thrown upon the screen, Prof. J., O. Jones will tell the story of the wheel, laying emphasis on its engineering features and its commercial significance. The lecture will begin at 7:30 o'clock.
FEW CARE FOR VACCINATION
Only Fifteen Take Preventive Treatment For Smallpox—All Should Do So
"Few students have taken advantage of the free vaccination offered at the University Hospital," said the doctor. "The majority of the students have at some time or other been vaccinated for small-pox, and the mild form of the disease now prevailing does not prevent their vaccination." Students have taken the small-pox vaccine.
Eighty-one have taken the tynphoid serum. Of these, forty-three have been girls and thirty-eight boys. "Although this number exceeds the porpoise population of the nurse," it is not nearly what it should be. Every student should take it, and it is economy to have it done at the hospital, for a saving of at least fifteen dollars is made. A private phytochemistry institute and three 'shots' are always given."
Inoculations are given on Tuesdays and Thursdays of each week, from four until five o'clock. Girls are given Tuesday and boys on Thursday.
Nelson Farley, a freshman in the School of Engineering last year, began his career by going to Amarillo, Texas, where he is taking up the automobile business.
PLAN A TWO BIT SMOKER
No Eats May Cut Price of Football Entertainment in Half
A "two-bit" football smoker with plenty of good smokes but no eats is being considered by the committee in charge of the annual affair in honor of the football team. When asked in regard to this morning one of the committee said, "For the past two years the price for this smoker has been fifty cents. The attendance has not been as large as it should be for this reason. The committee must state that seems to be that "eats" are not essential and if the price of the affair was lowered to twenty-five cents and just good entertainment and good smokes were provided the attendance would be representative. The men who have charge of the mix meet tonight and decide finally about this matter.
According to Manager Hamilton the six round go between the two amateur boxers which will be imported from the Kansas City Athletic Club for the occasion is an event that he attended. He has seen both Murphy and Flynn in action and says that they do not hesitate in "mixing."
In addition to the boxing match, Coach Beau Olcott will make a talk, Tony James will be on hand and will have something to tell the men present, the captain for the 1916 team will be chosen before Wednesday night and will be one of the players. There will be plenty of music and Fla Alpha Tau, the dramatic fraternity will have a stunt.
Uncle Jimmy Green as in previous years will award the Ks at the All-Star Game.
Chancellor Turns Ford Down
Chancellor James R. Day of Syracuse University has declined Henry Ford's invitation to select a student for the peace expedition in a letter to Mr. Ford's secretary the canceler stated that "the plan grouped and will accomplish nothing but the ridicule of your country."
These Freshmen Helped Make the 1915 Football Season a Success
With the close of the Varsity football season comes the order for the members of the regular first year squad to check in their suits. And it is a welcome order for most of the tyros. A strenuous season has been played by McCoffick, and games have been played off of McCook Field. Coach McCarty, with
Lefty Sproull assisting him, his taught his men collegiate football so that it will be a benefit to them next year.
Little is the reward these men get for the hard scrimmage they put up against Olettio's then. As for scoring a goal, they can win it even when but that is not what they are
there for. They fight every play the Varsity starts and with such a stubborn resistance as these men put up Captain James' squad has a hard time scoring. It is this resistance that causes the Valley games. In fact, it is safe to say that the success of a football season depends on the freshman squad.
But another sort of reward is offered the first year men instead of notorius and football honors. They get good preparation for next year's Varsity squad. Then they get two trips to foreign fields as guests of the captain, and freshmen were taken to Manhattan and to Columbia for the games there.
This is one of the treats which appears especially to the man who has been a baby.
Now that the season is over three or four of the tyros will start work on basketball while others will take up the instruction of their fellow-classmen for inter-class football. The men who made the regular freshman
squad are ineligible for the class game but they will assist in the coaching.
But the 1916 Varsity football aggrigation will profit by this year's freshman squad and some of the regulars will have to do some mighty hard work when these men get eligible for Valley competition.

THURSDAY, DEC. 2, 1915
Better is a little with righteouness, than great revenues without right.— Proverbs, 16:8.
WE MAY "GET SORE"
How do you?
If a man went into a city and wanted to find his way about and had to wait until half his stay was over before he could purchase a guide, he would make some kind of "kick," wouldn't he? Well, the students have been fairly patient this year in waiting for these books of information, but there is a limit to all things—especially patience.
Those in the registrar's office are not to blame. The copy has been in the hands of the state printer long enough to have been back a month ago. But the state printer simply writes that they haven't gone to press yet. The directories probably will not be here until a week before the Christmas vacation.
Why not?
We don't know anybody's telephone number, we can't call up the people from our county to tell them about a meeting, we can't even find out where the girl who sits next to us in class comes from. We want directories!
If there is no other way out of it, we want to pay for those directories, but we want them in time to use before the finals in the spring. If the state printer is too busy to do the job, give it to someone else. There is hardly a student on the Hill who would not give a quarter for one of those handbooks of information.
We want our directories by the middle of October next year. We don't care who prints them; we don't care what they cost. They are a necessary part of our life and we want them in time to use.
IT'S BASKETBALL NOW
A successful season has just been closed on the gridiron and another should result from William O. Hamilton's work with the goal tossers. Not a large enough number of men are out for practice yet. Among the seventeen hundred in attendance this year, there are a hundred who played basketball on some high school team. Perhaps not all of them were stars, but stars don't develop in college from high school comets.
William Oliver will greet with pleasure the presence of two more teams on the floor right now. Some of last year's best men are gone and there is room on the squad for any man in the University.
· A WEEK OF WORTH
Certainly no greater privileges could have been asked by any University community than has been given the students on Mount Oread this week. Norman Angell spoke to a full chapel Tuesday afternoon on America's part in the world peace movement, outlining clearly the points which should be of paramount importance in the minds of all who have
the best interests of the nation at heart. Some new ideas concerning questions of international importance were lodged in the minds of the students and faculty members who heard this masterful lecture. Surely, all are thankful for Mr. Angell's visit.
Charles F. Scott, of Iola, received a similar reception yesterday morning at special convocation. The Kansas editor appealed for aid on behalf of Belgium, going into detail as to the handling of the gifts and closing by thanking those who pushed Tag Day.
And Tag Day itself was no little thing. The money will be sent to headquarters at once and every penny goes to a worthy cause. Every student on the Hill who wore a tag yesterday and today can be proud that he or she helped both to make Christmas merrier in the country across the Atlantic and to assist some student in furthering his education.
THE 1916 JAYHAWKER
The purpose of a college annual is to picture the undergraduate life of the school. It belongs not to the editor, nor to the senior class, but to the institution as a whole. Those who prepare it have a difficult task.
The use of the annual as a political instrument, and as a means for indulging in petty and unpleasant personalities is grossly inexcusable. If the editors of a year book use their power in this way they have proved themselves unworthy of the honor that has been conferred on them.
Annuals at the University have not always kept clear of this practice. The one last year did, and the fact was the subject of much commemoration. In past years, individual feeling has been allowed to show itself, and the book has been marred, to the detriment of the University, and the shame of its editors. A good joke is all right, but an underhanded remark of an unpleasant nature leaves a bad taste that remains. It is underhanded, because there is no means for a "comeback."
It is to be hoped that the editors of this year's annual will not lower the standard set by their predecessors last year.
IT'S OUR PRIVILEGE
Vaccination has been urged for the student body by members of the Medical faculty. Dr. Sundwall and his associates are in a position to know whether being inoculated with vaccine is better than attempting to withstand the disease. Few, if any of us, are immune to smallpox or any of the other diseases which may be carried from one person to another.
We need the fewest possible handicaps to make the most of our work, in college or otherwise. Vaccination helps.

The Kansan is apparently of the opinion that it is very magnanimous of Mr. Rowlands and Mr. Bowersock who have been asked to build a cement, non-skid sidewalk, that will probably last 50 years and outwear several brick ones. Of course the students in this class will be down for all winter; it's good train-ing for toe dancing.
In last week's Kansan there was a paused-editorial headed, "They're All Right." Are they? Perhaps!
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
After students had been stumbling and slipping down Adams Street Hill for many years, real, old, genuine Kansas spirit flared up at the littleness of the thing. Some disgusted "stude" started the campaign for a real walk in the only effective way possible.
That's business. Of course, people only have to be shown; Mr. Rowlands came out with a large sign to the effect that everybody should help in the "good work" by throwing on brick himself. Then he turned foolish grimacing at the originality of Mr. Rowlands idea, and heaved bricks like fighting Irishmen. Mr. Rowlands smiled. He smiled last week when he read the editorial page of the Kansan. It's all right to deceive the dear public once in a while, but then ought to be drawn at making that same dear public land the dear de
Moral: Throw the first brick first "Chance Stab"
TOLERANCE
The college man who is serious enough to pay attention to his spiritual development finds his beliefs subject to complete every effort in making him understandable. The freshman who comes from a small, Puritanic town and the city chap, whose home life has tended toward orthodoxy, are swept off their beak the current of new ideas which awaits their entrance into the University.
The freshman's first impulse is to conclude that the religion of his childhood has all been a mistake; he is overwhelmed by disillusionment, and regards the doctrines of his young old-fashioned overthrows his youthful ideas and attempts to right errors of his ways by entering whole-soiled into a spirit of radicalism. It is likely that this reaction from conservatism will last through the first two years of his college life, and then, as sud-denly he discarded the tenets of his childhood, he will drift toward them again.
It is not until his college career nears its conclusion that the happy medium dawns upon him. And this is liberalism. It is the mean between two extremes—between radicalism and reaction. It is the meaning of ignorance and negation; it is the meaning by which science, art and literature progress. Free speech, free thought and free action are the foundations of liberalism.
And when the undergraduate becomes imbued with the sentiment of liberalism, it is because he has become tolerant. It is because he has acquired a thirst for knowledge because he desires to escape from the shackles of the conventional convencions of the profession because he has seen life and learnt to know men, because he has had glimpses into the past and hints of the future—Daily Maiden.

A new animal house to hold all kinds of animals and material for the departments of zoology, bacteriology, entomology and physiology is rapidly being completed west of the heating plant.
The new building will be twenty-four by forty-eight feet in outside dimensions and two stories high. The first floor will be used by the zoology, physiology and entomology departments, and the second by the bacteriology department exclusively. A grythopterygian court with thirty six feet will be built on the south end to be used by the entomology and zoology departments.
In the main building, the zoology department will carry on experimental work in breeding guinea pigs, mice, rats, and pigeons. Cats, rabbits, and turtles will also be kept for use in comparative anatomy and parasitology. Their room in the greenhouse will be used as an experimental unit for vitrum for tadpoles and other animals which need living plants for food.
In the entomology room a temperature controlling apparatus will be installed. This will enable a temperature of ten degrees below zero to be maintained on a lab bench or certain insects that require special temperatures to be kept on hand at all seasons of the year for use of the students. The entomology department will also use in the room an仪器 for experimental breeding purposes.
The bacteriology department will use its space to keep bacteriological records and will use a laboratory for the class in immunity. Animals used by the physiology department that cannot be kept in the room or kept in their room on the first floor.

FORMER DEBATER SENDS
MATERIAL TO HELP TEAM
Homer Hoyt, A. B., '13, and former inter-college debater has forwarded the material used in the Chicago-Dartmouth debate last year to the department of public speaking, in the hope that it may be of use among the students of the debate teams which are to oppose the Nebraska teams.
"Hoyt wrote to me some time ago in regard to the material," said Prof. Howard T. Hill this morning, "and offered to help us in any way he could in getting up our material for the Nebraska debates. The Chicagoans on the same question being used by Kansas and Nebraska this year, and we will be able to get some valuable stuff from it."
M. H. Warren, a senior in the College last year and at present secretary of the Haskell Y. M. C. A., has gone on a tour of the Indian Schools of Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota in the interests of the Y. M. C. A. He will be gone until the middle of the month.
It was thought for some time that Mr. Hoyt would come here and help the Kansas teams in their preparation for Nebraska. A rue forbidding outside assistance prevents him from doing so, however.
Hoyt is now a student at the University of Chicago, and last year he received an honor with the University of Michigan. When he was at the University of Kansas he was one of the team oppressed Colorado in the Triangular Debate.

High-class Entertainment for Small Audiences is Coming, Says Shostac
That the real drama of the future will be a high-class affair of "art for art's sake," produced in "little theaters" all over the country, and witnessed by select audiences of well-educated people, was the opinion expressed last night by P. B Shostac, of the department of English, at the meeting of the Quincy Club in Fraser Valley, where attended the meeting and participated in the discussion which followed Mr. Shostac's talk.
The cheap vaudeville and the burlesque show, Mr. Shostac thinks, will always exist, and will attract the "mob," and such members of the "high-brow" class as may occasionally desire to become members of the "mob" (who are usually not supposed to be educated to the better things in the drama), says Mr. Shostac, "Just as soon as it becomes educated, it ceases to be a mob."
"The day of such plays as 'The Lion and The Mouse' is almost over," says Mr. Shostac. The public—the "mob"-for which the class of plays is intended is fast being converted into movie audiences. Improvement in the audience and the middle class drama will cease to be. In its stead will rise a drama of high art, which will be staged in such playhouse as the Little Theater before small audiences of high culture. The drama of the future, I believe will be a poetic drama, with rich musicality, intimate affairs, and with the quiet, supposedly undramatic things of life."
Mr. Stoshae did not discuss the financial side of the drama of the future, or suggest any method by which the actors are springing up all over the country, will be supported. He believes, however, that wealthy men interested in the drama will support such剧aters in order that the art may be advanced.
DEBATORS HAVE JINX, TOO
Budding Demosthenes are Hindered by Hospital List, Like football Team
Preparations for the Kansas-Nebraska debate are proceeding in fine shape despite numerous obstacles, according to Harold Mattoon, business manager of the affair. "Three men have been sick during the last week," he said this morning, "and one of them has a black eye sustained in class football practice. Nevertheless, they have been pedated into form, and practically have the debate completed at the present time."
Edward C. Hake, Ennic C. Whitehead, and E. F. Price are the three men who have been on the sick list. They have suffered from the gripe, and have been hindered in their efforts to obtain material for the命题. Charlemagne Havingest annexed a black eye in football practice last Monday.
Final selection of the men who are to compose the teams will be made the day before the debate, according to Mattoom. Hake, Whithead, Price, and Smith are the four men who are after the two remaining places on the teams.
"There seems to be considerable interest in the debate," said Mattoon this morning. "I'm glad to see it, too. Since our brain and brawn failed against Nebraska in football, perhaps alone will win from them in debate."
The debate, which may be held at the Bowersock if the attendance warrants, will be formal, all speakers appearing in full dress."

The date upon which "The Witching Hour" will be presented at the Bowersock by the University Dramatic Club has been changed from January 21, 2016 to April 8, 2016; announcement made this morning by Elmer Clark, business manager of the play, "Conflicting dates made the change necessary," he said. "There are too many dates to handle, and we were forced to change the 'Witching Hour' date to one a week earlier. 'It Pays to Advertise,' George M. Cohan's farce, which was such a successful year yet, will survive." Bowersock the date originally set for our play.
Rehearsals of "The Witching Hour" are being conducted three times a week in Green Hall. "Every one knows his bipy by now, but we need to spend a lot more spendly. One or two changes in the cast may have to be made, however, owing to the fact that some of the original members have since been declared eligible. Definite announcement of these events must be given out the first of next week."
Under the direction of Prof. Arthur MacMurray, official coach of all Dramatic Club plays, the entire play is gone on at each rehearsal. We speak with a girl named MacMurray says, "I shall be sorry, however, if we have to make any changes in the cast. We are getting along so splendidly at present."

While talking things over with a Kansan reporter Dr. Goetz said, "Every woman in Kansas University should be proud to think she has a chance to sign a petition for a Woman's Soccer League that successful, will be the entering wedge for placing. K. U., women's sports on the map."

INTEREST IN PLAY GROWS
At Least Ten Manuscripts Will Be Submitted in Dramatic Club Contest
Pleasure over the promised success of the Dramatic Club Drama Competition, and hopes that the prize-winning play would be suitable for previews. But Ms. Burnett expressed this morning by Don Burnett, manager of the senior play.
"It looks as though at least ten plays would be submitted in the competition," he said, "and that is certainly better than we had hoped. In this, as in every other play, it is only through stiff competition that the good play we are hoping for is going to be unearthed. A stirring comedy of college life," was the reply made by Burnett when asked what sort of play he thought would win the award, and plenty of action with which students are familiar are the things which should be incorporated into the play."
"Don't go beyond your depth," is the advice Prof. Arthur MacMurray has to offer to the aspiring playwrights. "One student came to me the other day with a plot and a theme that were entirely too big for him to handle—and I tried to show him the folly of writing about something with which he knowledges. Stay—keep them life you don't know about—keep out of deep water. That's the most important bit of advice I have to offer."
The Drama Prize Competition will be made an annual affair if the one this year is a success, according to Professor MacMuray. "We hope to make the Competition a permanent feature of University activity," he said, "and to offer larger prizes every year."

SENIOR STOCK GOES UP
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 3, 1915.
Appearance of Veterans on Class Team Enhances Fourth Year Chances
Fade away you champion freshmen of last year, or your freshmen who are contenting yourself that you will have an easy time winning you numerals this year, for senior football stock took a sudden bound yesterday afternoon and jumped yet. The reason for the rise is on account of three men who have played the good old game on the Varsity in days gone by, but who were too busy to come out this year. Maybe the freshmen never heard of them, but the upperclassmen have become enough to meet the mighty seniors, they will discover a tough snag, worse than any river could show, in the personas of Tom Mallow, Dick Burton and Harl Russell.
The juniors had enough men out last night so a passer by could tell there was something going on, by the looks of the fifteen men who reported. Connie Poirier, who played quarterback on the freshman class team in '13, was out and showed his old cunningly getting by away on the signboard that did not have enough men out so they could scrimmage but signals were run and Coach Fitzgerald feels good over his prospects.
Sure enough, these stars of former days were out last night, if you don't believe it ask Coach Holt. And what's more, they are eligible, so beware. This is not all, the senior coaches succeeded in getting their men can have been out so far. "The seniors are to win," said Coach Holt last night, "and we believe we can build a strong team around these four old Varsity men."
The freshmen and sophomores had enough men out so they could scrimmage and the coaches put them through a series of drills. Coach Heath dripped his protégés in signals most of the evening. The sophomores who were guests of Coach Heath at a chalk talk the evening before, showed up to good advantage on Friday when they commenced to show the championship form they displayed last year. Coach Heath also put his men through some hard scrummage in the finals, which they used to tie knocks which they will win over the hands of the freshmen.

TICKET SALE PICKS UP SEASON ENDS TUESDAY
Decorators Spend Day in Gyn Working Out Color Effect for Law Scrim
Tickets for the Law Sermi went like the proverbial "hot cakes" today, according to a statement made this afternoon by Willis N. Calkins manager of the party. Apparently, everyone one took a sudden notion to attend the Sermi, for Calkins and his assistants were busy all morning, soliciting, and dealing out the little white pastepeens out and into the prospects for a record attendance," said Calkins. "We have sold almost enough to make expenses, and I am in hopes that later sales, will make things come out all right."
Decorators At Work
Decorators have been at work in the Gym all day. Crepe paper has been used to gain a gable effect in the ceiling, and streamers in variety colors hide quite effectively the unsightly steel-work which supports the immense roof of the Gym. The balcony has been turned into a bank of crimson shaded lights. Shaded lights. In the corners are davenportes and easy chairs, and "K" blankets at the windows provide novel and effective draperies.
The reception will begin on the main playing floor promptly at eight o'clock. Captain Tony" James, of Johns Hopkins, will be guest of honor. With him in the receiving line he will be Chancellor Strong, Dean Green, and other members of the faculty of the School of Law, as his guests, officers of the School, and their "dates."
The grand march will begin at 8:15, and dancing will continue from then until two o'clock Saturday morning. Twenty-four dance numbers will be performed occurring between dances twelve and thirteen. The guests will be divided into two groups for the three course luncheon which is to be served on the second floor of the gym. One group will eat during dances nine, ten, and eleven; the other, during dances fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen. Wagtail will cater.
Dance Lasts Till Two
No Cabs Or Flowers
"As is customary at such University parties," said Calkins, "cabs and flowers are strictly tabo; and I want that fact emphasized. The admission price is quite imposition enough on students, but it is a treat to furnish cabs and flowers, too. And anyway, flowers are 'bad form' now, I understand.
All the freshmen women, who are being interviewed by their advisors as to what they intend to do when the finish college, are contributing to statistics for the College Alumnus Association regarding how many students the complete list is not finished, but will be soon after the holidays.
"It looks as though the party would be very successful." Calkins replied when questioned concerning the outage and the lack of safety this morning; but it will have to continue that way throughout the afternoon if we are to make expenses."
COLLEGIATE ALUMNAE AID
IN CHOOSING VOCATIONS
"There are bureaus in Chicago, New York and Boston, supported by the Collegeiate Alumnae, for the sole purpose of placing college women, who do not wish to teach, we are in charge for the same kind of bureau in the even though as yet it is a thing of the future."

Gridiron Warriors of 1915 Will Stage Last Event of Year at Eldridge Hotel
The climax of the 1915 football season will come Tuesday night when every man who played in any game this season will sit down to the annual football banquet at seven o'clock at the Eldridge Hotel. The Law Scrim may be the greatest event for some of the gridiron followers. Possibly some of them prefer the smoker which comes Wednesday night, but they all look forward—gastronomic or fashionable. The election of a captain is only a side issue of the evening's entertainment.
Award Letter Wednesday
The letters awarded the players will be presented at the Wednesday night smoker but the men will not be notified at the banquet Tuesday night. A number of letters will be granted this year but the exact number will be given until the athletic board meets Monday or Tuesday to grant the "K's."
The race for captaincy will be one of the interesting points of the banquet. It seems that every member of the squad who intends to return next fall is a likely candidate. Adrian Lindsey, the star of almost every game of the season looms up as the candidate while Wood, Hutchinson and Sebastian are also among the ones likely to be nominated. All members of the squad attending the banquet will be eligible to vote.
Players Will Speak
The real entertainment, after the feed is over, will be speeches by the gridiron heroes. Football players usually are not inclined to more than a thirty-second speech and some of the talks will be interesting, probably at a very high level, they may tell the boys some of the things they have figured out for next year: Tony James will give his farewell address which will be answered by the captain-elect. But don't forget William Omar Hamilton for he will be on hand with a fresh cigar and one mask. A player has played their last year of football will be given an opportunity to tell the boys how to beat Nebraska next year.

TOO LATE FOR SUBSTITUTE
No One is Named to Take Blanche
Mullen's Place on Ford's
Peace Mission
Mrs. Eustace Brown received a telegram from Henry Ford, last night in response to the one she sent yesterday afternoon asking him if a substitute should be named for Blanche Mullen, who was selected to go but could not accept. Mr. Ford in his speech said, "I would be pleased to have a secretary on hand, but on account of the lateness of the hour, and the inability of the person to reach New York in time to sail, I suggest that no one else be named."
The following was received by the Kansan from Kenneth Pringle who will arrive in New York this evening, and who will be the only representative the University will have on the eace mission.
Special to the Kansan.
Troy, New York, 11:22 a.m.
Have you checked this far. Sorry to hear in Chicago last evening Miss Mullen cannot come. Will reach New York tonight.
"FIGHT; BUT FOR A HIGHER PRINCIPLE, SAYS REY. POE
Pringle
"Fight, but always know that you are fighting for a higher principle," said the Rev. Floyd Poo, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church at Indea and the address in chapel this morning on the subject "Should a Christian Fight?"
Dr. Poe is being considered as a pa-
titionary judge at the First Presbyterian of Lawsu-
ry.
"If a man smites you on the one cheek, would you turn to him the other ass?" asked Dr. Poe. "This should not be taken literally," he continued. "Neither the Bible nor the Christian lay down rules for the human life; rather, we give us some good principles. If your search of higher things don't fight, but keep in mind the foregoing as a principle, not as a rule."
MAKES OLD SCROOGE LIVE
Frank Speaight, of London, Will Read "A Christmas Carrol" in Chapel
Frank Speaight of London, "The Man Who Makes Dickens Live," will be the next man to appear on the University Lecture Course. He will lecture in December and will be mas Carol", December 13th, in Fraser Chapel. The committee on convolution and general lectures designated this number from the list of Mr. Speaight himself, which with one exception, are his own dramatizations of Dickens' books.
Is An Englishman
"The selection of 'A Christmas Carol' is seasonable," said F. R. Hamilton, chairman of the committee in speaking of the recital, "and this arrangement was intentional. We could have gotten Mr. Speakast last fall, but we wanted him to give 'The Christmas Carol' at the Christmas course, everyone is familiar with it." A one has a chance to hear Frank Speakast read it. I think we are going to have a treat."
An English critic said of Speaxtie: "If the Christmas spirit, as it was, and expounded by Charles Dickens, be after Mr. Frank Speaxtie has closed his career as a reciter." Munse's says: "In no happier way can the modern reader who complains he has no time for Dickens' long drawn-out familiarize himself with characters we have become parts of everyday speech."
Mr. Speaight comes under the management of the Pond Lyeum Bureau of New York City. He is typically English and was raised in the Diekle family. He is an actor characters vividly and skillfully, and is an actor rather than a reader.
He has appeared in New York, Washington, D.C., Boston, and other large centers. This is his second American tour.

CHURCH MUSICAL SERVICE
Dean Harold L. Butter of the School of Fine Arts will conduct a special musical service at the Congregational Church next Sunday evening, December 5, at 7:45 o'clock. this is the second of a series of such events for which the first of the series was given a month ago before a large audience.
The program as arranged for the evening will consist of three anthems, "The Lord is Excaled" by West; "Softly now the Light of Day" by Worden; and "Great and Marvelous" Turner; a vie in solo by Miss Edmula Dalton; and a thrilling Dalton.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate student in the role to go further than merely printing the news by stand-alone holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, and to guarantee the students of the University.

A WOMAN'S PLACE
With the canvass among freshmen women to find out just what they intend to do when they graduate from the University in progress, one naturally is brought to wonder just what a woman's place in life really is.
Every man and woman student in the University has some definite idea of what a woman should be in this world.
Should she specialize in domestic economy, get household costs down to a nicety, become efficient in cooking, know all the ins and outs of housekeeping and learn all about the problems that confront a wife and mother?
Should she take the same kind of studies as men, specialize in accounting, economics or journalism and it herself to work beside the man in the business world?
Or, should she make a happy combination of the two, preparing herself for the duties of a wife and mother and get the other technical training as a sideline so that the knowledge will not be lacking in case misfortune compels her to support herself and children.
It isn't so very long hence that every student of today will be out in the real world, trying to get enough to eat and wear for himself or herself and someone who is de-children?
The Kansan runs a column for the expression of students' thoughts. Here is a question which might evoke some interesting argument. Take a half hour to tell other people what you think. Your idea might be new and interesting—and for all that, helpful to someone who can't decide.
HOW ABOUT PREPAREDNESS?
The effect of militaria on a democratic system of government, the result of a propaganda of over preparation with borrowed funds, the
Refutation of the theory that over preparation and excessively large military establishments make for security was the only argument that Norman Angell, pacifist, advanced in favor of the limitation of the military forces in his lecture Tuesday afternoon. He could have said much more, and many who have read his books were disappointed that he did not, disappointed that he did not point out the disaster that may lie in the path of America if she enters the armament competition with the war-mad nations of Europe. He could have done so better than any other man.
influence of military expenditures on the economic fabric of the national society—these are things well worth considering before this republic launches itself on the path from which history has shown there can be no turning. Some believe that over-preparation makes for war. The question is worth arguing.
It would be foolish and fret to cry peace, when there is no peace, and to offer arguments against the increase of the army and navy, when the demand of the nation is for these things. Such an argument would find no hearing.
But when America turns her mighty powers of construction from the paths of peace to those of conflict, as she may do, civilization retrogrades.
There is no freedom in a military nation. Democracy—the democracy that America understands—becomes an idle dream.
America might have pointed the way. A hundred millions of peace-loving people—But such is not to be. America will be "Prussianized." Military ideas will sink their roots into the soul of the nation. It will be transformed.
This is what will follow if the country enters into European competition. The idea that the United States should be turned into an armed camp is utterly repugnant and abhorrent to the principles of democracy and the ideals of the nation.
Preparedness is an essential—over-
preparedness, a menace.
ANOTHER GOOD TALK
Prof. R, A. Millikan, one of the best authorities in this country on physics, will lecture in Fraser Hall, Friday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. The week's work will be over and an hour given to listening to this lecturer and writer of text books will be wisely spent.
With two interesting talks, by Norman Angell and Charles F. Scott, this week and these two by Professor Millikan Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, students of the University will feel grateful to the entertainment committee for its wise selection of one good week's entertainment. I love here more of it.
Let's have more of it!
AROUT THAT DEBATE
Two classes are to be considered when the question of taking the Kansas-Nebraska debate down town comes up for discussion. There are the students who have paid for the enterprise tickets who live closer to Fraser Hall than to the Bowersock Theatre and who would be inconvenienced by going the extra distance.
On the other hand, there are the townpeople who stand by the University year in and year out who find a trip up the Hill too great a sacrifice—even to hear a great national issue discussed.
Of the two classes, it seems that the former can be the more easily satisfied. And so, in face of all the arguments the Bowersock Theatre appears to be the place to hold the battle of brains. Very few students who would attend will object to the trip downtown, while many of the people of Lawrence would go and pay admission downtown when they would not consider climbing Mount Oread.
Evidently the National Nut Growers' Association disagrees with Bill Shakespeare about there being nothing in a name; It's president is W. N. Nutt.
However, advocating taking this activity away from the campus does not mean that every entertainment should be given downtown. Mount Oread and everything on it is ours and we should treasure the idea of making the outside world come to us for the things we offer.

Bring your old suit to me and get twice as much for it.
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
"She loves the boys."
"He works his Dad—and his professors."
"He wears his heart on his sleeve." Now Mr. and Miss Senior, how would you like to have some such statement as the above beneath the 1916 Jayhawk? Pretty and touching sentiments, are they not?
"She loves the boys. "Her tongue is sharp."
If the Jayhawker is a production of the senior class and not of a few politicians, we ask that the seniors be consulted upon the childish business of the sensual kits of sensical information under a "digitized senior" name.
Money loaned on valuables
When young men and women come to be seniors at the University, it is high time that they put away childish ideas. You must learn to maner. It is only in high school annuals and back numbers of the Jayhawker that we find our friends telling of our private love affairs and the ways we know more than anyone else.
Ten years from now in looking over your dayhawker would you like to see some of these things, chosen carefully from your darkest secrets by your dearest enemies. Would you not say then, "Well, well, I thought I was grown up when I was a senior at K. U, but I guess I was not after all?"
A senior who has neither love affair nor dark secret.

Robbers showed great interest in track work the other night when they broke into the law office of a Kansas City firm where Fred Harding had a job as a lawyer for the law school is employed. Among the few valuables taken were the best of Fred's collection of medals received for his splendid sprinting career. He kept the record in the fifty yard dash while he was a student at the University
Over in the physiological rooms in Snow Hall there is a dog with a story that beats the account of little Bopee's sheep all hollow. This yellow coated canine was recently taken from his comfortable quarters in the University dog house and removed to the Hall where he interests of science, a very serious operation was performed on him. After his recovery he was removed to his former quarters. The next day however, he escaped and returned straight to the operating room in Snow Hall. He was allowed to get back into the wire cage in which he formerly lived, while waiting for his operation, and now he stays there perfectly content and happy.

ATHLETES HARD AT WORK
Basketball and Track Men Keep Busy Training for Coming Competition
Indoor track work as well as basketball practice is temporarily suspended over the week because of the Law Scrim which takes possession of the gym tonight. But these two sports are not suffering to any extent from lack of practice. Both teams have been busy this week and will make up for it by daily practices next week.
Basketball practice is being held each night from now on. Twice a week was often enough for the basket tossers during the football season but now every night is hardly considered often enough. The games start immediately after the holiday season so it is difficult that the men learn through basketball before the festive season in order that they will be ready for the first game. Team work and signal practice has been the main point emphasized this week and the regulars are able to trim the freshman squad regulars as well as been having both squads while coach Hamilton was looking after the business end of football but from now on will have complete charge of the first year men.
Track Men Work, Too
Coach Patterson has been putting the track men through light workouts this week. The change from outdoor running to the curved indoor track makes it necessary for the tracksters to take it easy for their coup of weeks. A jar of shrimp-spills" causes the men to take a slow pace at first. Patterson wants his men to get in good shape before the holidays so that they will be able to start in for record time as soon as possible. The necessity of training at this time of the year is not as imperative for track men as it is for basketball "sharks" for the former will not face competition the last of January, and hard sea ice will allow Coach Robert's men are willing to take an early start.
Is Mason Of High Degree
The youngest Scottish Rite Mason in Kansas is a 'University student, H. A. Blasdel of Garnett, a junior in the College. Blasdel took the first three degrees of Masonry at Garnet and the rest at Lawrence. He took his first degree on his twenty-first birthday, his second and third a week afterward, and a special dispensation, was loved to take the third up to the thirty-second a week later. His was the only dispensation given and it is certain that there is no younger Mason of his degree in the state.
One of the most unique souvenirs of the vacation yet displayed is a marriage certificate, issued in St. Louis, Missouri, where the proud, but somewhat flushed possessor spent his holidays.

ORGANIZE HOCKEY TEAMS
NUMBER 59.
K. U. Women Will Get Ready for Famous Winter Sport at Meeting, Tuesday
The senior and junior women will meet in the lecture room of the women's gym Tuesday afternoon, December 7, at 3:30 to organize hockey teams for this year. Dr. Alice Goetz, who will coach the teams, urges every upperclasswoman to be there.
Soon feminine shrieks will invade the silence of the flat green hockey field's south on the gym, and bright red and yellow tam-o-shantlers will fight for control. In the finale click of hockey sticks tells the tale of victory and defeat.
Plans are being made to make hockey one of the best and most interesting of women's sports, with the different teams, shin guards, and the official Applebee hockey sticks will all be furnished by the University. No change of clothing will be necessary and the women can go on playing. The fact that twenty-two players are required to make full team insures a fine, healthy, interesting sport with plenty of good companionship. When the weather does not permit it, the game will be played in the gym.
Ella Hawkins, a senior in the College, who has always taken a prominent place in women's athletics, will Dr. Goetz in coaching these teams.
"All upperclass women are urge to turn out to this meeting Tuesday," said Dr. Goetz to a Kansan reporter Thursday. "In many of the eastern schools all the other departments close at dawn o'clock and in winter we have them back in Juniors as well as the other women, taking the exercise which will strengthen backs, square rounded shoulders, and make cheeks rosy and bodies healthy. Here too we have the facilities to carry on this same exercise. It is important that girls is the women. This gym belongs to every girl in the University as long as she is in college and I want her to realize this fact. Several times upperclass women have come to me timidly asking for permission to wear gym clothes when I am urging and trying in every way possible to get the upperclass women in all kinds of work over here. If my good dream of seeing the gym floors crowded with Senior and Junior women could only please than anything else I can think of."
CROWD IS EXPECTED AT BIG FOOTBALL MIXER
From present indications there will be a large crowd of football enthusiasts at the annual smoker which will be given in honor of the team Wednesday night. The committee in charge of the affair have provided probably enough entertainment that the university has been given access to the University. The two boxing matches will be an evening's attraction in themselves.
"Ka" will be presented at the smoker by Ucile Jimmy Green to the members of the squam. "The captain of next year's team will be elected Tuesday night and will speak at the smoker Wednesday.
When asked about the mixer this morning, Chanency Hunter who is managing the big event said: "We want every man in the University to be present Monday night. Cutting the price to twenty-five cents has made it necessary to have a larger crowd than we are currently able to see who is there will be glad he came and we will agree to refund anybody's two bits who is not ratified.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
TO HAVE CONSTITUTION "The long-established practices of the university will soon be written law", said Chancellor Strong this morning. The Board of Administration will promote their final sanction to the article, which will be sent immediately to the printer."
The constitution is to contain a collection of those customs and practices which have acquired a legal binding force through their long continuance. It will be a source for information of the institutions involved by the University during the past.
The constitution according to the Chancellor will not be a set of rules. It is for her to act as body as well as the student body. Whether the constitution will be printed here or sent to the office this afternoon at the meeting of the Board.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 6, 1915
A movement was started two years ago to accumulate this mass of unwritten laws but due to a change in the Board of Administrators the plan failed to materialize until this year.
CONCERT POSTPONED
BECAUSE OF INEIGIBILITY
A number of the members of the University orchestra are ineligible. This causes the concert scheduled for December 7 to be postponed indefinitely, according to the statement made by Director McCanlies this morning. Some of the ineligibility cases are minor ones and can be resolved quickly. It takes time to get everything straightened out to satisfactorily, and so it was decided to postpone the concert later. This does not effect the Band concert, however, as the band men are not subject to eligibility rules.
LAW SCRIM A SUCCESS
Two Hundred Enjoy Annual Party in Honor of Football
Squad
In spite of the fact that it was the "thirteenth" annual party of its kind, there was no hoodoom havering about to spoil the Law Scrim, which was given in Robinson Gymnastics Friday night. The monster affair was a success in ways—socially and financially. More than one hundred couples attended.
The party began at eight o'clock on the main playing floor of the Gym. In this brilliantly decorated hall, Cap. Clementine's ball team (and the ball team; members of the faculty of the School of Law; and the officers of the school received the two hundred guests. With Captain James in the receiving line were Chancellor Michael Walters, Mrs. H. Higgins Green, Prof. and Mrs. W. H. Higgins, Prof. and Mrs. H. W. Humble, Prof. Edward Osborne, Prof. and Mrs. E. M. Briggs, Mv. and Mrs. Harry T. McGregor, Prof. and Mrs. Alfred Hillman, Hazel Skinner, Ross Davenport, and Phyllis Dunnette.
Programs were distributed during the grand march by Mary Atkinson, the principal conductor of Creighton. Dancing began immediately after, and continued until two o'clock Saturday morning. Music was given to all members in piece orchestra from Kansas City.
A two-course luncheon was served during the evening, the guests being divided into two groups for it. The refreshments were served in a dimly lit room with improvised on the second floor of the Gym. Wagstaff did the catering.
"The party was a success financially," said Willis N. Calkins, manager of the Seram, this morning. "I think it is so important that I but think it is safe to say that we will come out all right. However I'm not so much worried about that, since the party seemed to be a success as anyone else seemed to enjoy himself."
DEBATERS DECIDE BABY'S
DEATH WAS JUSTIFIED
That Dr. Haiselden was justified in allowing the Bollinger baby to die, was the decision given by the judges at University Debating Society Thursday morning Boom 110 Fraser Hall. These taking the affirmative were Harry F. Penicall and Claud V. Horsez, E. Gilligan and Harvest Young defended the negative.
The question for the debate next week will be, "Resolved: That the United States should immediately and substantially increase her armament." It is requested that all members of the conference meet as arrangements will be made for getting pictures for the Annual at this time.
Tags for the Belgian Christmas and Student Funds are flying from the button-hole of hundreds of students. Dimes, quarters, halves and even dollars have filled the boxes of the sixty Y. W. girls who were selling the tags. This morning the total amount turned into Miss Gittens' $135, an expected to reach $135 by this afternoon, because some of the girls have not turned in the money," said Miss Gittens.
BELGIAN CHRISTMAS AND
STUDENT FUNDS GET $13
Half of the money is sent to the Belgian children and the other half is sent to the students that are at the Belfort school, held by the penses. John R. Mott has charge of the distributing of the money to the students.
The sophomore men's gym class at 2:36 is having a hard time to get any exercise. Their soccer field is being empty, and they have no days, so they went to the second floor of the gym to practice basketball; this was already occupied by the women, but they descended to the first floor and done doing freshman work on the mats.

The week-end did not see a let up in the practice of the various class teams for their first games which will be played some time this week. The exact date has not been set, but in all probability if the weather is good the first combat will be staged Wednesday afternoon on McCook Field.
The juniors and seniors are practicing hard for their coming games but are handicapped by insufficient material. The t-tanks have their signals learned, but do not know how they will work against another team. The seniors expect to have a line that they can beat. John Battaille and others like them the line will exceed an average of 200 easily.
Coach Heath, who is drilling the sophomores, had his men out Saturday afternoon with a weather eye on possible stars. However, he has not picked his team yet and he may work the whole squad in the first game. The freshmen under Coach Meyn are rapidly rounding into shape, and it is the probability of Meyn that the freshmen will graduate this year men did last season. That has to be proved, but Meyn feels confident it can.

The Kansas-Nebraska debate will not be held at the Bowersock Theater, according to a statement made this morning by Harold Mattison, manager of the university's bookstore, made an outside booking," said Mattison, "and we thought it useless to attempt to change the date. The debate will be given in Fraser Hall on December 10, as originally announced. Student enterprise tickets will admit.
Rehearsals of the debate are being conducted daily in Fraser, according to the University's squad now has his material well in hand, and several of them have their speeches committed. The material is final in shape during the daily rehearsals.
Announcements of the two men who will be selected to fill the vacant places on the teams will be made available. If anyone is trying out, and each has his speech in such form that he will be enabled to take up the line of argument where the preceding speaker and bring it to a logical conclusion.

U." to all person signs. One person signs she is given one of the red tags, to wear as a symbol of her loyalty and support to the whole movement. Already one hundred women have pieddled their agitation this agitation is but fairly started.
Present Plans Thursday
Last week some of the more enthusiastic women gathered together informally, after one of the gym classes, in the office of Dr. Alice Goetz to discuss the possibility of having this organization. The group was especially anxious to have an association which would give awards and trophies to all those accomplishing something in athletics. Thus the upperclass women, who otherwise are not interested, have an incentive to keep up their gym work. Plans were made for a traininghip which will be presented to the women at a mass meeting next Thursday evening.
Dr. Goetz Is Delighted
"I am more than delighted with this step which the University of Kansas women are taking," said Dr. Alice Goetz Friday, "and I see other women's organizations that are now doing efficient work and are a vital part of the University life had to be started once. The field which lay open before them has already been developed before this planned Association, the Missouri and Nebraska women and in most of the eastern schools the women have athletic organizations, and several of them have a strong association about the athletic association which they supposed, of course, we had.

"We have things going on a good financial basis this year and there is money in the treasury, every cent of it goes to Christmas Tree Park. The Christmas tree will be there of course and tree candy and a fishing pond, oat of which fish in the form of presents may be drawn. One new feature of Christmas trees will be a farce, which we think will add greatly to the entertainment."
The admission charge of ten cents will be used to partly defray the cost.
A petition to Dr. Alice Goetz to have the locker rooms of the women's gym enlarged, and the position of the showers changed to one place in the women's basement is being signed by many K. U. women.
Many complaints have been made to the effect that the dressing rooms are over crowded with sometimes as many as 20 girls in the smallest dressing rooms, and that the position of the showers which adjoin these foster rooms adds to disagreeable conditions because of the water running down women's clothing and into their shoes.
WOMEN PETITION TO HAVE SHOWERS MOVED
The Phi Mu Albah held a meeting at the Stigma Nu house last Thursday to select a noted singer for the concert to be given shortly after Christmas.

Several more students took advantage of the free vaccination offered at the University Hospital last week, and were inoculated for typhoid fever. This brings the total number of inoculations up close to one hundred, according to the hospital authorities.
An equal number of men and women have been vaccinated thus far and this proposition will stand as yesterday was the last day for taking advantage of the free vaccination, in order to prevent incinnations necessary, and only two more incinnations can be given before the holidays.
ADVOCATES PUBLIC SPEAKING Prof. Arthur MacMurray Thinks Everyone Should be Trained in Extemporaneous Speech
Every man should be trained in the art of extemporaneous speech in the opinion of Dr. John R. Macarthur, associate professor of the English language in the Kansas State Agricultural college.
"There are many men—and women too—who have a thorough knowledge of some subject," says Doctor Macintosh. "You can up in public and tell others about it."
College Men Should Rule
"In my judgment there are few things more important than the ability to express oneself with ease. Especially is this true for the college community, where you have a message to give the world, or to that part of it in which he finds himself. Yet many a capable and right thinking man is forced to remain in his seat at meetings where people are being discussed, and to allow less competent men—and sometimes unscrupulous persons—to have their own way, all because of a knowledge of public speaking."
"I agree with everything Dr. Macarthur says," stated Prof. Arthur MacMurray, head of the department of public speaking, when interviewed this morning. "If students in an agricultural college, where a large number of students are in laboratories, need a knowledge of public speaking, how much more so we need it here at the University, in our college of Liberal Arts and Sciences!"

DEFENDS K.U. ATHLETICS Chancelor Replies to W.T. Foser's Attack on Collegiate Sports in Atlantic Monthly
William T. Foster, in an attack on intercollegiate athletics, pointed to the number of the Atlantic Monthly, the system of inter-collegate contests and failure as far as the health, recreation and structure of student life are concerned. He also says that universities would be able to support collegiate athletics were abolished.
"Although intercollegiate athletics are far from perfect, with us, I think they have greatly improved," says Chancellor Frank Strong in reply to Mr. Foster's attack on intercollegiate athletics. "They can be made more beneficial than they are at present, if they can be put and kept on a campus of honorable place, and be so inclusive as to give a large proportion of students a chance to participate. The problem now is to do that.
"Here at Kansas we have succeeded in some degree. The Missouri Valley Conference has done something toward cleaning up conditions among college football players, broken down a great deal of professionalism and unfair competition between schools. It has put into effect a definite code of ethics which has had a positive effect on intercollegiate sports. But there is room for much improvement."
Chancellor Helps Save Football
Chancellor Strong was instrumental in organizing the Missouri Valley Conference. The board of regents in 1910 became so dissatisfied with the conditions in intercollegiate athletics that it was ready to abolish football and other sports, and several other members of the board induced their colleagues to withhold their action. The Board of Regents then called a conference of the heads and governing boards of the larger schools in the Missouri Valley Conference. A meeting was called in April, 1910 at Kansas City and a conference organized. This was the first attempt to put intercollegiate athletics on a standardized basis. Rules against professionalism and professional coaches were adopted. In 1912, a new chairman and is, in the Chancellor's opinion, solving some of the problems of athletics.
"But there is yet much to be done," the Chancellor confessed. "The trouble is that we wager an on winning. As soon as we are going to blame someone, we will be tempting him to use unfair means to get players. Some coaches are too self-respecting to yield to this pressure, but it is asking a great deal of effort for reputation and livelihood. We must learn to be good losers first of all."
Chancellor Strong believes that athletics teach us very important lessons. The systematic training, the quick perception and response which are the key to training of the right sort on the athletic field are desirable traits, he thinks. "I wish we could approximate the condition in all our studies. We need more training, sometimes restricted to the few." The Chancellor would see more students brought into the scope of athletics. Kansas is trying to do this by the freshman football team, and the freshman class and inter-fraternity games.
Athletics Keep Down Dissention
"I see another advantage in athletics," he continued. "We have usually little trouble with general discipline during the football season.
"I am for athletics, as I have said many times to the students. I am also for the educational and moral life of us. It is the well-rounded life that we teach Athletics must take their place along with other activities. We want our university in these very decisive matters the moral and intellectual stamina that will give K. U. a high place among the universities of America and Europe."

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go for further than merely printing the news by standing up and playing no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to understand fully the students of the University.
MONDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1915.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer—Psalms, 19:14
THEY HELPED THE TEAM
University students all over the country are prone to give all the credit for a successful football season to the men who appear on the field and are pitted against the eleven from another school. Kansas students are no exception to the general rule. They give nine rails for the men who do the spectacular playing. And they should.
But, looking behind the scenes, one can see that not all the credit is due the man who makes the field goal or crosses the enemy's goal line for a touchdown. Out on McCook Field and every other field in the country, two or three other squads are working just as much for the honor of the old school as are the men who make the team.
And to this year's freshman squad, much credit should be given for the successful season just closed. Those first-year men worked every night on the pet plays of the teams to be met, they ran them against the Varsity and showed up the weak places in the first team. Day after day—all during the football season—those tyros labored under the guidance of Coach Leon McCarty that Kansas might again twist the Tiger's tail.
And now, with the season gone—not necessarily forgotten—we turn to them with nine hearty rahs. You're a fine bunch, freshman squad of 1915, and we want you to know that we appreciate your work. Not all of you will wear the Crimson and Blue suits next year; not all of you will cross the Husker's line for the winning score; but you can all be proud of the fact that you did your part in 1915.
THAT 1915 SMOKER
We shall look for you out for practice next fall.
All out for the football smoker Wednesday night!
The cost is only two bits, and Coach Olcott, Tony James and the 1916 captain will have something to say about the prospects for next year. There will probably be no "cats," but one doesn't go to a football smoker to get a square meal. A smoke and five or six good talks is enough.
EVERYBODY OUT!
IT'S ALMOST OVER—SCORE!
The most difficult time of the year to get down to work is now. We have had just enough vacation to make hard work seem unusually disagreeable, and the approaching Christmas holidays offer an excuse for letting work slide. But by what is done in the next three weeks a great many students will stand or fall. For the man or woman who is weak in his work these three weeks of sliding are fatal. We constantly tell ourselves that we will make up back work during vacation, but this idea is a delusion and a snare. We never have done it, and we probably never will.
After Christmas vacation, everything trends toward the final examinations. There is no time to catch up with lessons that have been neglected. If earnest work is done now, if every day's work is done for day intended, final examinations will lose their terror. It is difficult to get down to work now, but the real student is the one who does it.
INDISPENSARLE
How necessary is "punch!" How universal in its application is punch! How wonderful in its tone and color value is punch! Every one acknowledges its force. All strive for it. It is a thing we all pursue. The successful rally could not get along without it. It is indispensable to a committee, a football team an office seeker, college president, or prize-fighter
But it is not confined to the narrow sphere of university activities. Theodore Roosevelt uses punch for political supremacy. That it doesn't always work is no fault of the Punch. Jack Johnson made a world wide reputation on his punch. Milady Butterfly uses punch for aesthetic reasons. And William Randolph Hearst uses it for reasons best known to himself.
Queer about the color values too. The ex-president's punch is purple; the prize-fighter's, red; Milady's, pink or orange; and Hearst's is yellow.
One's attitude toward the subject all depends on whether one is the consigner or consignee.
THAT FIFTY DOLLARS
THAT FIFTY DOLLARS Some University student is to receive a fifty dollar prize before the year is out for having written the best original play. The competition is keen and many students are out for that big bill.
The greatest number of contestants at present are seniors. That should not be. A sophomore or brilliant is just as likely to have a brilliant idea for a suitable plot as one higher up, and his ability to organize the material may be just as good.
Every student in the University who has an idea for a play might spend a few evenings at home working on a play for the inspection of the judges. If one loses, the experience gained will help in future work.
The time to start is now.

Everybody knows that it is the spirit of a yell—the mental attitude of the crowd behind it—which enters the players on the field to make them more or less efficient. Is the spirit of recklessness and daredevility which these "hell-yells" carry to the players a thing that inspires in them greater precision, more speed, and greater manly effort of all kinds?

Where is the cultural value in such expressions as, "To hell with old Missouri," "Hell yes," or "Hell no?" Does it take "hell" to win a football game? Apparently Nebraska hobbles along fairly well without advertising their allegiance to it. Does it show any huge degree of manhood blindly to follow the crowd in voicing sentiments that can do nobody good and are sure to do the University much harm?

Over in the library there is a clock that has had one expression on its face for so long that a change in its make-up would probably cause a panic among the students. In other other similar timepieces in other buildings on the carcus.
i purer sky, where all is peace.
— L. G. C. Brainard.
Some day when you and I have passed beyond and our great-grandchildren are trodding up and down Adams street to and from classes, a mighty personage will come to me by foot or by timber by building, or starting a movement for a new clock for the University. Some twenty or thirty learned men, daily preach on efficiency, compose an organization, and defend the welfare of this institution. Still for as long as I can remember, the clock in Blake Hall has been running in much the same manner as a local professor's ideas, that is, it runs fine for a day or so and then it ceases to be on
stream,
Float on in joy, to meet
Now what I want to know is just how long it is going to take this board of efficiency-preachers to see that the students are provided with decent clocks and that these instruments are kept in condition and allowed to remain in classrooms, room schools, high schools and in fact every minor educational institution in the state, has an efficient method of time telling, yet here at an institution of "high learning" we cannot receive even such services as our old friend Big Ben deals out. For our school any other patron, please NoAyaties, wake up, look at the clocks, discover that they have been on a strike for more than a year, and then DO SOMETHING to show us that you are not in the same condition as the timepieces.

"The advertiser is a public educator, more proficient in the art of teaching than the graduates of our normal schools." This is a statement made in "The Advertiser as a Public Benefactor", which is in The Independent November 2017 edition that advertising is "one of the economic wastes of competition" is denied and the writer concludes that advertising is well worth what it costs the community and adds: "It has eliminated, advertising of some kind will have to be kept up unless the race is to stagnate."
The assertions are sweeping but he makes out a good case with the following foundation: "Progress consists in the creation of new wants; happiness in the satisfaction of them. So both progress and happiness are factious efforts of the advertiser. He is not a producer; no, and neither is lubricating oil a fuel for the engine, but it is quite as indispensable as coal."

FURS SPREAD DISEASE
Numerous Grippe Cases Now Prevalent are Probably Due
Furs are unsanitary and are, according to University doctors, often the means by which epidemics and skin diseases are spread.

"The habit which so many girls have of coughing into their muffs is very bad," said Dr. Goetz, "the cold gets in and then the wearer puts the muff up to her face she thus falls a victim to her own germs. Undoubtedly a great many of the gripe patients who suffer on the Hill were sorered through furs."

According to Dr. Goetz the danger of anthrax is no greater in cheap furs than in expensive ones. Dr. Goetz believes that the only danger in cheap furs is that they could be made under swatshop conditions, tuberculosis and such diseases common to tenement districts might be carried through them. "It would be a very good idea if women would send medical supplies to be disinfected," said Dr. Goetz.
DEAN BLACKMAR TALKS
TO K. C. PEDAGOGUES
Dean F. W. Blackmar of the department of sociology returned from Kansas City Saturday evening after delivering an address before some two hundred teachers of the Kansas city schools on subject of sociology. The address was given in the Central high school building.
This is the first of a series of six lectures upon the same subject which Dean Blackmar is scheduled to give on Tuesday, March 18. There are some 1300 teachers in the Kansas City schools who hold an institute once a month. Speakers are engaged to talk to various groups on the subjects of most interest to them from the past and has been given the group who wish to discuss sociological questions discussed.
That great strides have been taken in the last ten years by physicists in their endeavor to discover what lies within the subatomic world was the theme of the lecture given in Fraser Friday afternoon by R. A. Millikan, professor of physics in the University and well known writer and authority.
Professor Millikan pointed out that through the aid of recent discoveries it has been determined that the atom is not the indivisible component of matter. It has also been that it is made up of minute particles of electricity. This has been shown by catching electrons on droplets of oil, floating between electrically charged plates, and by photographing electrically thrown off from atoms of gas.
By these discoveries, Professor Millikan declared, the elements have been arranged in an arithmetic series which seems to show that each element is formed from the one before it, by the addition of some constant thing. He had also the evidence seen to付他 to hydrogen in basal element; so far all the elements have been regulated to this table but three."

Already students are beginning to taste the delicious morsels that invariably adorn mother's table at this time of the year and some say they are longing for the plains and the old shot-gun.
Some of the faculty, too, have begun to feel a premature exuberance
and are talking of the things they intend to do when the quiz papers have all been graded. Many, however, are wondering how they will restrain their too ambitious students from prolonging vacation.
Juniors Pay UD Readily
“Most of the juniors when asked to pay their memorial fee pay it,” said Willard Glasco this morning. “But there are some who always kill. We have to work very hard, but the juniors who have paid their fee in the Kansan the last of next week. Maybe that will make the rest of them pay up.” The junior class has fifty members and they hope to raise the amount to twice the amount. It is the aim of the class to raise most of the memorial fund this year, which if done will enable them to care for other things next year. There are more than 80% of the class are collecting the money and if they have not seen you, they will before the names are published.

The enrollment of the class totals twelve and is composed of teachers, county officials, and residents of Lawrence interested in the work.
The organization of this class makes a total of eight classes that have been started this fall by the Executive School which are being successfully conducted by members of the University faculty. King City has three classes, Topper two, Law two, and Leadership. More classes will be organized next semester.

Many Track Meets
The basketball season starts the week after Christmas vacation when the Ames Aggies come here for two games. The season starts with a rush in the Ames games, and then the Ames games. The Cornhusker battles will be in the small gym at Lincoln and will be a hard battle for Kansas so early in the season. Altogether sixteen games have been played by the Ames games will be arranged later. A Conference rule prevents the scheduling of more than eighteen games.
At the meeting of the Missouri Valley Conference officials in St. Louis Friday and Saturday, schedules for the games were made out of the year, were made out.
The 1916 football schedule was also partially filled out. Many games remain to be scheduled in basketball and volleyball. They will be with non-conference schools.
On the outdoor track a complete schedule has not been arranged. The Drake relay games come on April 22 and Kansas is represented. Duna meets with Nebraska, Missouri and the Kansas Argies have been sched-
The indoor track schedule is incomplete except for the Conference meets. The K. S. A. C. meet in Manhattan, February 28, opens the season and the team will play at the Hall March 11 will be the final indoor event. Kansas will enter the K. C. A. C. meet which will be held about the middle of February. A meet with William Jewell or some other school will also be arranged before the conference.
The baseball schedule is complete but for Conference games and the two with the Chinese University. Others will be announced at a later date. The games against the Angels and the Kets are Aggies but the dates for two of them have not been set yet.
The governing board of the Associated Engineers' Society and the editorial staff of the Kansas Engineer will meet at 4:30 P. M. Wednesday in the Dean's office at Marvin Hall.
The dates of six football games have already been set and three more will be arranged later. Manager Hamilton has opened negotiations with Ames and Illinois for games in the early part of the season and the chances are that he may win or lose both of the schools. No action was taken in the meeting toward abolishing the Thanksgiving games.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Next Rehearsal of the University Orchestra will be Tuesday evening next week, December 7.
Vaccination Is Free
The University Hospital will vaccinate any student who desires it, free of charge. It is considered added benefit for students who have been vaccinated to have it done since there is a case of smallpox in the school.
Annual football banquet will be held at the Eldridge hotel at 7:30 in evening. Every man who played in the event of the season is eligible to attend.
University Band will give it annual fall concert Wednesday evening, December 15 in Fraser Hall beginning at 8:15. A very heavy and most splendid concert program has been arranged. Watch Kansas for complete program later. Student ticket admits.

the Student pastor of the Methodist

The editors of the University section of the Jayhawker will meet in room 110 Fraser, Wednesday afternoon at 4:30.
If the weather permits, the new buildings will be completed by the latter part of this week. However, it is not probable that the various departments will occupy their new buildings until after the Christmas holidays.

A meeting of the athletic board will be held Monday or Tuesday noon for the granting of football "Kn" for the season. The exact day Hamilton returns from the conference meeting in St. Louis.
Although the main object of the meeting will be the awarding of letters some other business may come before the board at that time. Manager Hamilton will report to the meeting of the committee officers, who may be taken on some of the things brought up in the Valley gathering.
One important matter to be discussed will be the advisability of giving track letters to the cross country team. This year is the first time the distance running has been a separate sport at this institution and boasted of a regular cross country captain. Some sort of emblem or sweater will doubtless be issued, but it may not be the regular track letter. Many of the larger schools give letters and since this new sport is being encouraged at Kansas it may be recognized in this way.
CHOOSE ALL-VALLEY TEAM
Two Kansas Men, James and Keeling, Get Places on Mythical Eleven
The All-Valley eleven have been picked. That is, the officials and coaches of the Valley have been consulted and the replies summed up into a final list. The eleven Kansas gets two places. Capt. James gets his regular tactile position and Lindsey is chosen for right half. Nebraska leads the other schools with five men while every school in the conference presented except the Kansas Aggies.
Rutherford is given the captaincy of the mythical eleven and was the unanimous choice for the half position. Chamberlain, Abbott, Corey and Shields were the other Cornhuskers to place on the first squad.
Oklahoma figures strong in the honor roll but is not in the Conference and could not be counted with in-state players. In back-field is given honorable mention.
Many people were surprised when Guy Chamberlain failed to get the captaincy of the Cornhuskers for the game, and he did not date from the outsider's point of view. As for service on the team he deserved it. The only excuse offered for the outcome of the election in Chamberlain's attitude toward his teammates.
The reports early in the fall were that Chamberlain was going to Harvard until Stiehm got the husky end "under cover" again. Since the election of Corey to the captaincy these reports are again being circulated. It will be up to Stiehm to do some more work.
The number of "KS" to be granted by the athletic association tomorrow is a matter of much speculation. It will be the team's work all season. The guesses are anywhere from fifteen to twenty-four. But the best compromise and the most likely number as it now appears is eighteen. Your guess is just as good.
THIRTY STUDY AESTHETIC
DANCING UNDER DR. GOETZ
Dances based on one of Chopin's "Quatre Mazurkas" and Chaminade's "Scarf Dance" are two which the class in aesthetic and interpretive dance would be directed to the direction of Dr. Alice L. Goetz. The class has a repertoire of folk and character dances which can be used for purposes of entertainment, and also for choir performances. Requests for dances for various occasions—the University parties and others. The Gypsy dance at the Halloween party was an interpretation of Saint Saen's "Dance die la Gypsy"; probably be used in the May Festival.
The class meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons at 4:30 for one hour and the time is divided between practice of technical steps and formal dance. Fool dancing, practice of an aesthetic or classic dance, and plastic exercise.

LINDSEY IS NEW CAPTAIN
Backfield Man to Lead 1916 Warriors—Statelder In Cross Country
Adrian F, Lindsey of Kingfisher, Oklahoma, was chosen captain of the 1916 Jayhawker football team at the annual banquet at the Eldridge House last night. Lindsey, will receive his first football "R" at the watcher night. His win this season for the season had last year until he was fired was of a superior quality and he received a large vote for leadership of the team.
In injuries in the first Conference game of the season last year kept Lindsey from finishing the year and winning his "K." But he was forced to play a race either side of his bad knee, Adrian was able to get into every game of the year. On the nominating ballot his teammates showed that he was the man for the place by giving him enough votes to win. The normal election may increase his lead.
The six cross country men who won honors for Kansas this year also enjoyed the big athletic banquet. Ernest S. Statater was elected chairman of the successful Fred Rockey. Statater has served his second year on the team and is one of the most consistent and dependable men running the distances for Kansas. He was a team leader, a coach this year and his choice as captain was unanimous.

Speeches were made at the banquet by Coach Olcott, Bond and McCarty for football team and Manager Hamilton for football team.

He will have a speech of greater length to offer at the smoker tonight.
With Exception of Juniors Classes Show Interest in Football
NUMBER 61.
GOOD PRACTICE YESTERDAY
Lack of practice is the cause attributed by Coach Oclett this afternoon for the postponement of the first interclass football game which was to have been played between the freshmen and juniors. On occasion, we will meet the juniors Saturday instead of the sophomores. The first game will start at 2 p. m. Saturday on McCook between the juniors and seniors, and immediately after their combat the tyros and sophomores will be the consolation game, which will end with the finals which will be played next Tuesday afternoon.
Last evening the freshmen held signal practice, the sophomores scrimmaged, the juniors prepared for the fourth year men, and the seniors were busy welding their 200 pound line into a football goal. Fitzgerald's men. The sophomores are relying on the Minnesota shift to beat the tyros Saturday. After the signal practice yesterday it was the prediction of Coach Meyn that the freshmen would give last year's fair fight when they meet Saturday.
SOPHOMORE TEAM WEAKENED?
Although Blondie Jones, president of the junior class has issued a call for men who will help hold up the laurels for Fitzgerald's proteges scarcely more than a full team was out yesterday afternoon...
The latest "bear" story is that the sophomore team has been weakened greatly through the loss of two of its best men. Its star fullback, V. H. Frank is in the University Hospital being treated for tonsillitis. Although there is an attack on his jaw, other positions the fullback men are very scarce. H. J. Shelley, quarterback, is out of the game on account of "charlehyorse."

WOMEN PLAY HOCKEY
Juniors and Seniors Organize Class Teams to Compete in Future Tournaments
Hockey teams for senior and junior women were organized yesterday afternoon by enthusiastic upperclass women. A full team with plenty of substitutes will represent each class. Practice started this afternoon on the hockey field back of the gym. The players for definite positions will not be chosen until later. Elli Hawk University provides senior air force forces while Mable Elmore was selected to represent the junior athletes.
Hockey rules were discussed, the official Applebe hockey stick being deferred until the next game and defeat. The time of practice on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 3:30 o'clock was arranged that way, so no practice out for practice at least twice a week.
It will not be necessary for the women to make a change of costume, but they can go directly to the field to practice. Shin guards, hockey sticks, colored tacks to distinguish the two teams will be furnished by the University.
COSTUMES ARE FURNISHED
"The women showed so much spirit and enthusiasm that I am convinced of the success of this game," said Dr. Alice Goetz, who will coach the teams. "So many upperclass women turned out to the meeting that I think we will be helped in reserving this game for juniors and seniors a while at least."
A dozen or more autograph photographs from the most prominent men in the United States in chemical research work have been received by the Chemistry Department of chemistry. They will be hung in the halls of the chemistry building.
Owing to the fact that not enough interest is being shown in the graduate club meetings, the next meeting will not be held until the first of the year. At the regular meeting Thursday night. Prof. C. G. Dunlap spoke before the club on the "Works of Robert Louis Stevenson".

ART EXHIBIT IS COMING
Twenty-five Kansas Paint ers Represented; Collection Small but Good
Kansas painters will be well represented at the Fourteenth Annual Art Exhibit to be held here in the latter part of February. For more information, "All the Kansas painters of any prominence whatever will be represented," said Prof. W. A. Griffith of the School of Fine Arts, who is managing the arrangement. There will probably be about twenty-five paintings by Kansans,
PAINTINGS COME FROM EAST
The remainder of the exhibit will be made up of twelve paintings of especial merit which will be brought here from the east. "Some of them belong to the National Gallery in London, and some to Griffith, 'and the collection, as a whole, represents the best in art. It has more of artistic value, than a larger collection, less carefully chosen, might have. This year we are going to bring the best timing to the number, but selecting a small group of great merit."
The exhibit is to be forwarded to Lawrence from the University of Missouri. In a letter to Professor Griffith, Mr. Pickard of the University of Missouri says, "The exhibit is an interesting one and it suits me better than an exhibit of from forty to fifty pictures."
"I could name the valuation of the pictures to be shown," said Professor Griffith, "with the exception of those paintings which come from the National Museum and on which no price is placed, but I dislike to do that. People get into the habit of judging pictures according to their money value and I don't like to see it." We should not subdue such requests to satisfy anyone who understands only the dollar method of art appreciation.

DANCE RULE AMENDED
Mrs. Eustace Brown Says Co-eds Cannot go Home After Midnight
Mrs. Eustache Brown's minority report which was submitted to the University Seattle yesterday afternoon stating that all dances must end at 12 o'clock was amended by Prof. F. H. Hodder to read that in the cases of the Junior Prom, Law Scrium, Sophomore Hop and one a half hour later, the dance could be held until two o'clock. All other dances must close at 12 o'clock as has been the custom heretofore on Saturday nights.
The reason for the change of the hours is that the street lights all over the city are turned off at 12:30, and everyone goes home after that time have to go in the dark. It has a bad effect on the University, according to Mrs. Brown, to have young women who come here to dance so late and then to home.
WOULD CHANGE SPELLING
In regard to the simplified spelling that was brought up yesterday afternoon the following resolution was passed by the University Senate, "Resolved, that the Senate of the University of Kansas recognizes that at present the spelling of English is irrational and confusing and English persons could agree upon such modifications as would eliminate the worst features without transforming it. As to proposals made for simplified spelling it is the opinion of the Senate that agreement is at least doubtful, and pending such an agreement, the Senate, though appalled by the failure to support to any of them, it would, however, approve the information of an international committee representing educational institutions and opinion of the English speaking countries, for the purpose of recommending such changes as this committee should have good reason to believe in right to elect these countries. (Signed) Carl Becker E. H. Honkking and E. Gallo.)
Whether the University Orchestra should be held to strict eligibility requirements, was discussed at the meeting of the Senate yesterday also, and it was found that it would be inexempt to relieve this organization with respect to requirements, and that the rules of eligibility be extended rather than restricted. The eligibility Committee also requests the Senate to take action on the following: That after the academic year September 1916, all class officers, regular and special, must be admitted to the mittees, shall be subject to the rule of eligibility governing University organizations.
ELGIBILITY DISCUSSED
TWO MORE FIGHTERS
Manager Hamilton Has Provided Quartet of Pugilists For Football Smoker
Tonight is the night, eight o'clock
the time, and F. A. U. Hall is
the place.
Everything is in readiness for the big annual football smoker. Tickets sold rapidly for the affair today and breaking crowd is anticipated.
Two additional boxers have been obtained by Manager W. O. Hamilton to help entertain the crowd. This makes four men who will put on the gloves. There will be two three round bouts and from all reports the boxing alone will be worth the price of admission.
"Tickets will be on sale at the door and so don't let the fact that you have failed to get a tag keep you away," said Chaucny Hunter, chairman of the committee. Forget those lessons for a couple of hours in the boxing ring, boxing, hear some good singing, and listen to some excellent talks."
Writes For Kansas' Heln
Evidence that not all the big considerations in life have been swallowed up by the war in Europe was contained in a letter written to Professor McKeever of the Extension Department by Mrs. L. Schleger of Moscow, Russia." She says that nothing of Child Welfare work has been done in Russia and the people need it badly. Pamphlets and circulations telling how Kansas handles this problem were mailed her in company with her requests for requests for aid in Child Welfare work have also come from France and from China within the past few weeks.
Miss Edith Snow, daughter of former Chancellor Snow, will lead a movement among the women of Law enforcement to sue the pean war sufferers after Christmas.
NO TRIP FOR THE SINGERS
Men's Glee Club Will Not Give Concerts Until After New
Year
"On account of the many things happening between now and the holidays the Men's Glee Club will not give a concert until after the holidays," said Paul Sautter, manager of the group. "We have been planned for every night from now until Christmas and to avoid a conflict with other events we will not appear, but after New Year's we will give our first concert and it will be more than usual because of the students, having to wait so long to hear us."
The Christmas vacation trip through the states of Kansas and Missouri during the holidays has been abandoned. It was the plan of the club to take its annual trip as in 1946, when it rented the abandonment of the tour will be the first time in several years that the club has not taken the trip.
ISSUE CALL TO WOMEN
Mass Meeting in Gym Tomorrow Night to Plan New Association
Women's Athletic Association
Mass Meeting Thursday
7:15 p. m in Gymnasium.
Many of the women of the University who are enthusiastic over athletics, have dreamed of some kind of an organization which would promote an interest in athletic games for the fair sex. This dream will materialize tomorrow night when the women of the university will be discussed at the women's mass meeting in Robinson Gymnasium.
Over 200 women have signed the p'options to support this movement and it is thought that the time is rue for such aggriment. Dr. Alice Goetz is pleased with the women's attitude and enthusiasm. She urges all to attend a meeting tomorrow night, whether they have signed the petition or not.
The purpose of the organization will be to promote unity among the women of the University, to increase the activity in hockey, tennis, swimming contests, basketball and various other sports and to devise a system leading numbers and letters to those who are distinguished in athletics.
PROGRAM IS VARIED
Engineers Plan to Have Big Time at Mixer Tomorrow Night in Eagles' Hall
With the engineering mixer only twenty-four hours away, all trivial affairs such as dates, studies and quizzes, are side-tracked in Marvin B. Johnson's book, more than 200 men will be present at Englisl Hall Thursday evening.
The prime object of the mixer is to bring the Engineers closer together and to promote the spirit of unity. They talk, talks, eats and then more smokes.
Dean Walker, Professors H. A. Rice and George Hood will make brief talks on topics of interest to the Engineers. Following the speeches the K. U. band and orchestra will entertain.
TO HAVE BROOMSTICK FIDDLER
The final number on the program will be a one-string broomstick fiddling piece by Edwin Burke. Using a broomstick as his fiddle and a paddle as a bow, this ingenious Pan will extract fascinating melodies from an object which to the common mind suggests anything but music.

BOARD GRANTS "K"
Votes Letter to Members of Football and Track
Squads
Sixteen men were awarded football "Ks" by the Athletic Board at its meeting this noon. They are: Heath, Reber, James, Frost, Groft, Fast, Hammond, Wood, Lood, Lindsey, Hammond, Reed, L, Gillespie, Holt Neilson and Wilson.
Reserve letters were given to the following: Meyn, Pelkowsky, Ruble, Lawellin, Todd, Robbins, McKone, Peterson, and Fitzgerald. Minor letters were voted to Rockey, Grady and Statler, cross country men.
A motion was made to give a letter to B. Gillespie, who played sufficient time, but has been compelled to withdraw from school, in opposition of faculty members of the Board, this was voted down.
The design to be used for reserve "Ks" was left to the discretion of the "K" committee. This committee also announced its intention to pre-verify the recipient's providing that the recipient of two reserve "Ks" be given a regular "KR".
The Board voted to recall the letter of Hiatt Arnold, who broke the shotpot record while a freshman named Ben he enters school next semester.
The chairman, H. A. Rice, appointed W. O. Hamilton, E. W. Murray, and G. E. Putnam a committee to formulate rules limiting the issue of dressing quarters instructed to draw plans and specifications for an addition to the dressing quarters on McCook, to be presented at the next meeting.
COUNCIL INSPECTS GRADES
The Card Index System Will be Used For Date Breakers and Low Grades
Every freshman woman in the University making unsatisfactory grades, hereafter will be warned by the W. S. G. A. to get to work. A card system has been put into effect by the Council in which the name of her graduates is woman is indexed. Her grades are loved upon weeks and if her work is unsatisfactory, she will be called up by the Council and given advice.
At the Council meeting held Monday night, it was decided to have a card system for the names of all the women who break the mid-week date rule. By this system, the Council recognizes that one woman has disobeyed this rule, and they can then determine her punishment more justly.
Besides this, the reports of the district chairmen were given. A committee consisting of Maureen McKernan, Cora Shina, and Mona-Clare Tolson will meet to be the joint Student Council meeting to be hold some time after the holidays.
As a Christmas present, the Council declared the week night date rule to be off Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of next week.
PRAISES COMPANY "M"
General Wilder S. Metcalf Reports University Organization in Good Condition
On his annual inspection of the University company of Kansas National Guard last night General Wilder S. Metcalf reported favorably.
"General Metcalf always speaks favorably of the condition of training and equipment of Company M," said Captain F. E. Jones this morning. "He things that our company compares favorably with the other companies that he reviews over the north. There were no changes under the state. There were no changes under General Metcalf either in methods or equipment and the only irregularity was that caused by the new men in the company."
Company M at present consists of fifty-five University men but no canvassing is being done for new members; the men have been working at indoor firefighters and practice closed in October, using gallery rifles with lead balls. They are planning a rifle match to place a little later between a team member and the best shots of Company M against those of Company H of Lawrence.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students so far, no further than merely printing the news by standing on the board; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be anxious; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to recognize the capacity of the students of the University.

SHALL THE U. S. PREPARE?
Once in a while something comes within the grasp of a University student that, if he misses, amounts to neglect of a vital part of his education. Last week, four good lectures were given that added to the general knowledge of all who heard them.
Friday night the question that is baffling American statesmen will be discussed in Fraser Hall, by the debating teams of Kansas and Nebraska.
Whether the United States should increase her armament is a question about which President Wilson is doing a great deal of thinking and talking. It is the most vital matter before the congress which went into session last Monday noon.
Here is a chance to hear one of the most vital questions ever before a president and a congress discussed by men who have spent weeks in study and preparation. For the sake of your general knowledge, don't miss that debate.
And in Fraser Hall, Friday, the debaters from the University of Nebraska will take issue with Mr. Wilson and maintain that there should be no increase, while the Crimson and Blue team will maintain that there should be a substantial increase.
COLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
Not being thoroughly acquainted with athletic conditions all over the United States, the editor of the Daily Kansan would hesitate to talk in an authoritative manner upon that subject. Is it stepping too far into the sea of impossibilities to venture that President William T. Foster, who recently wrote an article in the Atlantic Monthly, doesn't know all the conditions of inter-collegiate athletics, either?
A man is not competent to talk knowingly on so weighty a subject until he has watched for at least a generation the athletics of the country. Then, he might have some basis for such an article as President Foster wrote—if he had known every athlete personally and had followed him out into life and had collected definite data backing up his statements.
While Mr. Foster is entitled to his opinion concerning athletics in colleges, this paper is also entitled to its idea concerning Mr. Foster's "call" to write and publish the kind of article recently run in the Atlantic.
3ENEATH THE CLOCK
Van Dyke represents the Flemish School of painters and Titian, the Venetian. These are the painters of the portraits which have replaced the Holbeins that hung in Fraser Hall last week.
"In good portraits there is always a correspondence of feeling and character between the hands and the head.
There is an absolute unanimity between the expression of the hand and that of the face in the Van Dyke, even to the curl of the forefinger, which echoes with extraordinary subtlety the curious slanting glance of the eyes." This is the statement made by Charles Cafin in discussing Van Dyke's portrait of Marie Louise Von Tassis. In this portrait, we have a characteristic Van Dyke subject. "Flemish, Spanish, and French nobility deemed it an honor to be painted by him." He depicts the elegant. Elegance characterizes both his subjects and his manner of treatment.
We read of him, "Possibly he gives to all the personages who sat for him, something of the grace of his own person. In every case, he has, in a greater degree than his master, (Rubens) a feeling for fashion and for graceful draperies, a taste for silky stuffs, for satins and laces, and ribbons, for plumes, and ornamental swords." Look at the portrait of Marie Louise Von Tassis and see this verified.
Titian differs from Van Dyke in that he "leaves out everything but what is essential. His simplicity has been called "majestically grand." He is often called the greatest colorist that ever lived.
"Van Dyke's people are as elegant as those of Titian's most courtly portraits, but they are not as forceful and vital." Titian's art displays the subjective and idealistic treatment. His own mentality figures in his productions. Of Titian, Charles Caffin says, "No artist's life was so completely and sustainably superb and such, too, is the character of his work. He was great in portraiture, in landscape, in the painting of mythological subjects. In any one of these departments, others have rivaled him, but his glory is that he attained to an eminence in all. He was an artist of universal gifts,"—an all-embracing genius, equable, serene, majestic."
KEEP IT UP, WOMEN!
A women's athletic association sounds fine. And it will sound better if five hundred University women jump into the work within the next week and make the project "go." Dr. Alice L. Goetz is working day and night on plans for the association and will make out a complete schedule for events next season if the women show the right spirit.
DIRTY WORK
Recently some Lawrence "boys," in going the "rounds" at Kansas City were caught in a raid. They were taken to the police station where they gave the names of University students and were released on bond. They skipped their bonds, which is a serious offence in Missouri. Since that time the names have been given wide publication.
Reflection has been cast on the entire University as well as the two students because of this untruth.
There are a few things we can be proud of: No University man would do such a trick as that. No "man" of any sort would.
Women in the household science department at the University of Illinois found, by wearing pedometers while setting tables, that they registered three miles to the meal. Fortunately at the University of Kansas we have other methods for reducing flesh. Three miles to a meal would amount to nine miles on average. Our course does not teach more economy than that, it uses useless for University women to spend their time in taking such a course.
NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF
A University course should teach the best way of doing things with the least waste of energy. A three mile walk before each meal is a very good way of working out, but it does not form an index exercise for the busy housekeeper.

I don't understand this school at all. Back in my home town I was appreciated, but people don't seem to know what I can do here at all. I wear my High School sweater, won for playing football, just as often as it gets cold, but the students upper classmen down at the house where I stay asked me yesterday how on earth I got that Red rag with a big White "O" on it. I felt like crying. How can I make people appreciate me?

Do not feel too self conscious, Rusty, or the family will think that you are not in the habit of dining out. There are only a few important things to remember. No matter what her father may say to disconcert you, do not throw a biscuit at him. To do so many things in a hurry you do not like her biscuits and have no other way of disposing of them. Another thing, if you are in the habit of eating with your knife, continue to do so. You are probably much more adept with this impulse than you are not in the same sensation than if you try to use a fork. Be conservative, however, in loading it up. The family will like you much better if you do not appear too much at home at first. Don't dust off the chair with your silver. Do this might lead "her" small brother to think that you have been a waiter. It is best to keep that part of your history dark.

What I would like to know is how a student is going to handle such conditions which arise very frequently? Can he grow bold and demand an apology from the instructor, take his case to the Dean, or what? Surely he should have some way to respond. While the faculty members are pleading for courtesy they might put into practice a few of their own requests and furthermore some means should be devised whereby the faculty can be shown that the students are not responsible to them. The instructors don't have any equity possible other hand there are approximately 3000 reasons why the members of the faculty have jobs. Therefore let the professors and professors-to-be consider the feelings of this army of 3000 occasionally.

THE QUESTION BOX
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
To the Question Editor:
Someone ago a student in one of the English courses handed in a very excellent paper, on which he had worked diligently for several days. When he received his paper back from the instructor he was accused of cheating, asked if the paper was his own, and was bold told that the script was beyond a college student and that therein in the future he had better do his own work. Now I know the student in question, know that he is a very hard worker, and above all know that the paper was all his own work. Nevertheless he was humiliated in class and made to look bad in the eyes of his fellow student in the instructor, who by the way has not been出 of college long enough to be initiated into an alumni association.

It is true that America has no desire to convert its civilian colleges into schools of war, even if such a transformation were possible. Granting the need of increasing our facilities for regular military education, in governmental institutions and in high school, would such an excellent specialty of military instruction as does Norwich University, we still must admit that our other universities have in their normal intellectual tasks a labor of magnitude and important impact on student energies. If in teaching their students the truth of the world's culture and history the colleges can inculcate into them a solid and unified loyalty to America and to democratic ideals in a kind that will make them not weak-kneeded for peace but willing to help them build up their lives, then truly they will have performed a national service beyond which none can be greater. But in respect of the lesser service, the service of which their students may have desperate need, if ever they try to fulfill it in the imperial action, it behooves the colleges to devote intelligent thought.—Boston Transcript.

The exercises will be held in South Park at 6:00 Christmas night and will last about forty-five minutes. One of the park trees will be strung with colored lights, and the school band will perform while singing. Everybody is urged to join in the Christmas songs, as this is a celebration for the entire town.

K. U. STUDENTS WRITE CRITICISMS FOR PRIZE
That it is possible for some young woman of the University to win one of the prizes offered by the Houston,uffin Company Boston, Bristol and Curtis Official Silbert Cather's novel, "The Song of the Lark" by an undergraduate woman student of an American college was shown today when four of Professor Hopkin's class in literature criticism started work on the novel.
Professor Hopkins said today that these young women have as good a chance as any of the women in the colleges of the country because with the thousands of essays that will be presented to them, direct ones have been eliminated the matter of picking out the best ones will lie largely in the attitude of the reader at the moment that he holds the essay. There are no rules and no indications of the qualities that may be expected from the winner of the prize will win through the use of clearness, correctness and pleasing terminology. As the criticism is to contain only a thousand words, the task of preparing an excellent essay not be more important for carrying an ordinary amount of work.
The essay will be on the study of and a reaction from the character of Thea Kronberg, the main actor in the story.
FAME OF MacMURRAY'S CLASS ATTRACTS MANY
Prof, Arthur MacMurray has found that it is not a class in dramatic art that he is conducting every Tuesday afternoon, as he originally intended, but a select little matinee company.
The class in dramatic art has been putting on little one act plays and fares for its class work for several weeks. So enthusiastic has the class become over the work, that the fame of the meetings has spread, and every Tuesday afternoon finds a few visitors, who drop in for the matinee.
Axel Johnson, who was a member of the graduate class of 088 and who later obtained his Ph. D. degree at the University of Wisconsin, was visiting on Mt. Oread last week. Mr. Johnson is now holding a position in the civil service work as superintendent of a large Indian reserve in Nebraska.
If the number of visitors continues to increase at present rate the class will be sorely tempted to charge a slight admission free. Complete playettes are given, and the students are invited to perform for them even to their make-up and properties. Visitors are quite welcome, Professor MacMurray says.
Southwestern College of Winfield began an endowment campaign for $60,000 in Cowley county. The movement is already under way and the business men of Winfield are rallying to the support of the college's endowment dollars. The campaign is necessary in order that Southwestern may maintain its standing as an 'A' grade college, whose degrees will be recognized by other institutions in the state. Winfield students will be standing of the college and will probably give $50,000 toward the fund.

FOOTBALL
One night several weeks ago, some women roaming on Tennessee street were frightened when a face appeared at a window. The face was that of a "mean looking man," a brave woman with a bravely able revolver and insisted that she keep it as a protection against future scares. The revolver is doing excellent work, emptied its loads, wrapped in a blanket, and laid away in the bottom drawer of a dresser in the bedroom. Then girls as they can place it. Just a gun being in the house, makes them feel secure.

A certain sophomore girl, who has a habit of keeping her pockets filled with a miscellaneous collection of articles, while in a certain class, accidentally shoved out a chair and stepped on the back in unwinding and rolling across the chair legs on its way. Class was suspended while half a dozen students hastened to assist in regaining the tangled thread. The girl vows vengeance on the one person she says was the cause of the joke.
In order to get in fairly good shape before the holidays many of the regular track man have been working out every afternoon on theObtaining body fat, a big vacation would not be time for the runners to get conditioned and several of the distance men are making use of every available afternoon before that
Prof. C, F. Nelson will address the Chemical Club on "Enzymes and Enzyme Action" at the meeting Wednesday afternoon at 4:30.
And now the call comes for more sprinters for the Varsity team. The bounds are put down each afternoon and the teams are taking advantage of the opportunity offered them. The lack of sprinters and hurdlers proved to be a weak point on the squad last year and the teams had to remedy this as soon as possible.
"There are lots of sprinters and hurdlers as well as distance men in school," said Coach Patterson yesterday evening. "Every man who has any notion that he can run should be out getting in shape now for the tryouts that will be held before each meet.
There is a great opportunity for some new men to make the track team this year and they would take advantage of it if they only realized the situation. A look at the schedule, which is by no means complete, will give you one idea of those ones that the season will be a heavy one and many trins will be taken."
Although no indoor Conference meets have been scheduled until the last week in February there will probably be several meetings before that time. At the present time Manager Hamilton is trying to get meets with William Jewell and the Emporia Normals. It is possible that three or four Kansas Colleges will be willing to meet, but the men meets will be held as early as the last week of January if the men can get in shape by that time.
The basketball floor of the gymnasium has been reserved between four and six o'clock for the exclusive use of the track team. Coaches Hamilton and Patterson are on hand each afternoon to give instruction to all teams and will be glad to see a large number of new men out for places.
NEBRASKA STUDENT IS
FAMOUS PLAYWRIGHT
That student playwrights afterward make good in the theatrical world, has been demonstrated by the career of Frederick Ballard, a graduate of the University of Nebraska, and author of "Young America," a play now being presented under the Coban and Harris management at New York City, Mr. Ballard, who is a personl friend of Prof. Howard T. Hill, was a student at Nebraska several years ago, and while at Lincoln won a place for himself as a dramatic writer. After leaving Nebraska, he attended Harvard for a year, where heook speculated that he would be Nebraska, Mr. Ballard studied under Prof. M. M. Fogg, of the department of English, and Miss Alice Howell, coach of dramas. As a special concession to the present senior class at his Alma Mater, he is going to allow them to produce as their Senior Play his own screenplay to charge them only $100 for the prilige; a price which is far below the ordinary royalty.
Mr. Ballard's play, "Young America," is making a decided hit in New York, seats being sold out across the country. Jason Nathan, dramatic critic on The Smart Set and Puck has called "Young America" the "most refreshing of the seasons" to munk with Tom Seaman, Huckleberry Finn and Penrod.
University Band will give its annual fall concert Wednesday evening, December 15 in Fraser Hall beginning at 8:15. A very heavy and most splendid concert program has been arranged. Watch Kansan for complete program later. Student ticket admits.

ECRETARY'S ABSENCE
DELAYS Y. M. C. A. WORK
The city and University Y. M. C.
A.s will cooperate this year in the work of teaching English among the students at the University. The city Y. M. C. A. has already started classes but the. work of the University organization has been set back six weeks by the leaving of C. Y. M. Secretary, for foreign fields.
Send the Daily Kansan home.
Hugo Wedell, the new Y. M. secretary, expects to have several new men teaching classes and to have the work more completely organized.
Last year the work was first start- at the University by men in the School of Engineering under charge of Dean Warren Mankins in but order that the future engineers might become familiar with this class of laboring men.
NO RECRUITING SYSTEM
K. U. Depends on Alumni to Enroll Good High School Athletes
"We have no recruiting system to enroll prospective football stars at the University of Kansas nor have we any "slush" money fund for that purpose," said Manager Hamilton this morning, when asked what was being done at the University to induce students of exceptional athletic ability to attend K. U. "We do rely on our alumni to talk 'K. U.' to any Kansas high school athlete of fame and good judgment in selecting a school in which he expects to complete his education.
"High school athletes often choose the smaller colleges of the state for there they are eligible to participate in athletics their freshman year. This is the chief argument used by coaches of the smaller colleges.
"Athletics at the University of Kansas are on a sound financial basis and if we produce a man good enough to go to the Olympic meet he will be sent. K. U. has many advantages to offer young men of athletic prowess but it has no hired scouts touring the state."
Find Plenty Of Work
Never before has there been such a demand for engineers and geologists throughout the country. The oil fields of Oklahoma and Texas are undergraduates and several K. U. men have already accepted places.
William Foster will go to Texas as the chief of a party the first of the year. Tred Cum will leave school at the end of the first semester to take a position as instrument man with the Wichita Natural Gas Company at Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Several Engineers are working in and around Lawrence. Dean Ackers, G.C. Harding and George Coxen from Kansas are working in the new bridge over the Kaw. Several other Engineers have been attending to minor details on the interurban line that is now entering Lawrence. Hugh Crawford has for some time been helping the Lawrence city engineer

VOLUME XIII.
MANY ATTEND SMOKER Biggest Crowd In K. U. History Gathers to Honor Football Men
NUMBER 62.
Confidence in the team, captain,
and coach was the keynote of all the
speeches at the football smoker held
last night in F. A. U. Hall. A much
larger crowd than was expected turned
out, and even more. It was the biggest
football smoker in the history of the
University.
"I think we can now realize what unity and pulling together means for this University," said the Chancellor. "This year the student body has been given a challenge, so knows how to organize a foottball machine that works, the faculty has done its best to give a square deal concerning eligibility rules. And we are just getting started. We will continue to be stronger in the next year or two."
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 9. 1915
The hall was packed for half an hour before the program began and the atmosphere was thick with smoke. The Glee Club started the program with the "Crimson and the Blue." They responded to two calls for more and stopped only when Joe Gaitskill announced the Chancellor.
Tony James, retired captain, made a farewell speech: "Fellows, I stood up here last year and told you we would fight for Kansas," he said. "We didn't win all our games, but we have a system that will, if you will, beat me." He backs me. I only regret that I haven't another year under Olecet.
“A More Chant of Venice,” a farce
from the Alpha True – dramatic
fraternity.
Lindsey, captain-elect, in his prophecy for next year said: "All I've got to say is, watch it out for the team. If the fellows work next year like they have this year we'll put across a winner."
"The rooting is what helped the team most this year," announced the coach when the cheering at his appearance died down, "and it takes a team to win, and we team is fighting on its three-yard line. The reason we lost the Nebraska game? Everybody saw him gallop down the field. The Oklahoma game was different, but not the ability to jump from side to side. Next year we will play a big game the first shot and I have a hunch that we will win it." The coach urged the students to high school athletes in the University.
Murphy and Flynn, of Kansas City staged a scrappy three-round exhibition
Uncle Jimmy Green was kept at home on account of the sickness of his wife, and Coach Hamilton presented letters.
Before handing them out he apologized for his changed appearance in this manner: "I got my gray hairs worrying over the eligibility this year, but the Chancellor gave us a square coat to have him look as had to hunt for an alibi, and I want to congratulate each player on his faithful work for K. U."
in Gym
Y. M. and Y. W. Will Stage an Old-Fashioned Good Time in Cym
An old fashioned party, a real Christmas party, will be given by the Y.M.Y. W.on December 11, at 8 o'clock in the gym.
This is to be the largest and most elaborate party of its kind ever given at the University. The money obtainable from this event will be spent for presents, eats, and other expenses of the party. The twenty-five dollars left over from last year will also be used, so that the estimated cost of the meal is from sixty to seventy dollars.
The program will start with a Walk Around so that everybody may get acquainted. Following this each person will be allowed to fish a preset lake, and you will also be a big Christmas tree from which each person will get a present handed to him from the "real" Santa Claus. Next a farce will be produced under the direction of Professor MacArthur who refreshtments will be served.
Everybody is urged to come to the party, the more the merrier, and help them prepare.
Rio Sisters To Meet
Big Sisters to Meet
Luella Madden of the Big
Sister committee, has called a meeting of all Big Sisters for Monday,

ENGINEERS MIX TONIGHT BRINGS GOOD MEN OUT
Aesthetic and Gastronomi Feast Promised; Freshmen Urged to Come
Twice a year the rough, boys from Walkerville lay aside the transit, slipstick, and T-square and turn their attentions to joy unconfined. The crowning event is Engineers' Day in the spring but that is far from their thoughts at present. The Engineers' Smoker has always been the biggest pair of its kind during the school year and this year will be no exception.
Will Give a Two-Bit Dance
Tonight these flannel-shirted warriors will gather at eagles' Hall for the biggest smoker they have ever staged. There they will meet their brother Marvinites, laugh, smoke, and sing in the old time way.
They say there must be no quizzes on Friday because it takes some time to recover from so much condensed celebration. Any professor with half a heart would not stage one on that day anyway, say Engineers. It is the first time that the freshmen meet the upperclassmen. It is largely for them that they can see any freshman who fails to appear is missing the greatest treat of the year.
A two-bit dance will be given by the Men's Student Council sometime after Christmas. If it is well attended and the students show enthusiasm convince the Council that they like to dance and dance others of this nature will be given during the year. The reason that two-bit dances are a success in some colleges are that there are no other dances. The Variety of dances at these colleges poorly attended that it is necessary to charge seventy-five cents in order to make expenses.
The famous Engineers' pep is brewed on this occasion and everyone is sensed with it. The gentle strains of Clementine and the Ramble Song come floating out of the fog of smoke in the aromatic jars the plaster from the walls.
But the best is yet to come: cider, doughnuts and apples followed by straining belts and that contended with an indulgence in smokes, music by the band and Glee Club and your dollar's worth is complete for only two bits. True Engineers will be identified on Thursday in a room of the pale green tag on their coats.
The money comes from the Bryan prize essay fund of $250, given to the University in 1898, the interest of which is used as an award on competitions every alternate year. Because it has not been sufficiently large to afford an entire prize prize has been offered for three years, and the interest has accumulated.
A prize of forty-five dollars is offered to the students of the University writing the best essay of from 3,000 letters on "The Cost of Preparedness."
Essays must be handed in not later than May 1, 1916. Prof. F. H. Hodder is chairman of the College committee having the matter in charge.

PREPAREDNESS ESSAY
Class Football May Develop New Material for the Varsity, Coach Says
"There is a man, playing on one of the class football teams, who in my opinion, runs with the ball more like Chamberlain of Nebraska than any other man that I have spoken last evening at the football smoker by Head Coach "Beau" Olcott, who is at the head of all the class football teams.
"This man is a wonder, but if he next fall I want to know the reason why." Coach Olcott would not say who the man is, but he wants as many students as possible to go down to McCook Field Friday after interclass games will be played and see if they can pick him out.
"I think the University should take as much interest in these games as they did in the games the Varsity played this fall," said Manager W. Young, who led the thought of the games. "I wish the freshmen and junior们 would sit on one side of the field Saturday and the sophomores and seniors on the other side if any rooting is done, it will sound better because of having union."
GLOOM IN SOPH CAMP
Gloom pervades the sombre moorhead's football field from the present outlook it does not seem as if the second year men would win from the freshmen Saturday. With V. H. Frank, the most promising fullback developed this year, H. J. Shelley, quarterback, who has shown up so well this year, and Alexander Bell, star halfback and the fastest man on the team, also proved a game with a broken nose, looks light for the men of Coach Heath.
Frank is very sick in the University Hospital with tonsillitis and will not play any more this season, nor will Bell or Shelley. The latter is out of case of "charley horse." One thing toain, they have a powerful line. Some of the men who are showing up in scrimmage are: Dick Carter, E. Burkholder, W. R. Smith, Lizzie Hull, Dewey Cooper, Ward Weltner, John Campbell, Charlie Hart, Roland Ruble, Harold Van Houten and an
CLOOM IN SOPH CAMP
The freshmen and seniors grimmaged each other last evening and neither could score a touchdown this makes the seniors favorites over the freshmen who scored against the third year men in scrimmage. The sophomores were due to muss up Fitzgerald's prowess and that was the reason they were out the fronds was called off.
SENIORS ARE FAVORITES
The seniors have three men who are showing up in their backfield as a basketball guard, George Smee and H. A. Lorenz. Scrubby Laslett is practically the whole freshmen team and if the freshman beat the sophomores Satellite (the first game), it he. He is a *whirlwind* of strength either on defense or offense.
Obart Hartshorn, junior in the school of pharmacy, of New Mexico, is ill at the University Hospital with laryngitis.
TAG MONEY ON ITS WAY
TO MAKE BELGIANS HAPPY
The money made by selling tags for the Belgian Christmas and Student Fund has been turned in at the registrar's office and is now on its way over the deep seas. The amount, $152, was divided, and $76 sent to John R. Mott, secretary of the World Student Christian Federation, while the rest will be used for the Belgium Christmas.
"At present," she said Miss Ann Gittens, Y. W. secretary, "the only means by which organized christian work is carried on among the student body of our school through the aid of the World Student Christian Federation. The men in the universities of Europe are now at war and all such organizations in the world have been called into it. It was for this purpose that the appeal for money was made to the different universities in this country; and the students of our schools have contributed to the compathy and money for the relief of their brother students in Europe.

The Missouri conference will be held on the first Friday in March, followed by the Colorado debate, two weeks later. The Oklahoma date has not as yet been announced, but the trust deadline on sometime before the second tridout ten days after Christmas.
Art Staff To Meet
At the meeting this afternoon of the art staff of the Jayhawker and the students who expect to try out for the Jayhawker, plans of the cuts were outlined in order that the contestants wanted for the Jayhawker. The staff is planning to have sixteen four-color posters. In addition, this year, the staff will use a number of zinc or pen and ink etchings to be used as heads over the writups of the various ornaments. It is expected that about fifteen will try for places as artists of the Jayhawker.
Chancellor Frank Strong went to Topeka this noon.

WHY STOP AT TWELVE?
Twice or three times a year, the heart of every University woman is touched by an appeal from "THE AUTHORITIES" to protect herself. Now comes the objection to the one-o'clock closing hour for dancing, on the grounds that the women will have to go home in the dark. One would think that the fair one had to plod over weary miles of frozen ground, climb over three or four barb wire entanglements and sneak up a long dark lane to get to her destination. And that alone, too.
Is not a woman old enough to attend a University capable of choosing a man companion with whom she is not afraid in the dark? The dances are attended by perfectly decent people and the fact that three or four blocks separate a woman from her home and that she has to take this walk with "A MAN" is no reason why some should throw up their hands in horror and ask that the dances stop at twelve.
A few years back, the closing hour was three o'clock; then a two o'clock ruling came into effect; and finally one o'clock was deemed the proper time for calling a halt on festivities. And now comes a cry for twelve. The future generation will have to have parties and dances in the afternoon if the present tide is not checked.
Every time there has been a change, the students have shown the proper respect for their superiors—and have accueiled. But, if the powers-that-be keep on treating men and women, who are considered by the laws of the commonwealth as their own bosses, as if they were sixteen-year-olds in high school, a 'limit' will be reached where there will be no respect and no admiration for "THOSE ABOVE US."
If the "DARK" is the thing that is objectionable, it seems as if the city of Lawrence might be asked to keep the street lights burning a little longer. They are turned off when they are most needed by the whole town.
SUPPORT THE TEAM!
There are no odds against us to-
morrow night.
K. U. is to have a chance for a comeback at Nebraska in the Nebraska-Kansas debate.
The two teams of each school are evenly matched. Each will argue both sides of the question, the home team upholding the affirmative and the visitors , the negative—an arrangement which eliminates all possibility of an unfair advantage. It will be an even fight in which brains and quickness of wit will decide the outcome.
Probably no activity is more truly a representative college activity than debating. It displays the intellectual side of the institution. It shows the college man in action. It shows him putting into practice the arts of clear thinking and lucid, forceful expression—the two arts which are the basis of the average college man's success. In fact, debating reveals the intellectual level of the institution.
And a debate is just as truly a fight as is a football game, though not quite so dramatic or spectacular, and possibly not quite so evident to the casual observer, there is the same struggle for supremacy, the same fight to the final victory or defeat.
In the debate tomorrow evening, there will be all of that keen rivalry and intensity of feeling that has always characterized contests of all kinds between the University and Nebraska.
And there will be no Chamberlain to tip the balances of fate before the battle is even begun.
FOR "OUR" SCHOOL That was S-O-M-E smoker!
The attendance was the largest in the last five years, the spirit was the best, and the speeches the most interesting.
Chancellor Frank Strong, Coach "Beau" Oleott, Coach O. H. Hamilton, Tony James and Adrian Lindsey all used different words to talk on one subject. That was "Kansas Spirit."
The Chancellor asked for "Unity." We are going to have it.
Aren't we?
Coach Olcott asked for more of the same old fight exhibited by both students and players at the Nebraska game this year. We are going to have 'that fight.'
Aren't we?
Aren't we?
Coach Hamilton asked that we help the rooting by going to the games with persons of our own sex. We are going to do that at every game next year.
Aren't we?
Lindsey asked that we make it our business to get every available man out on the field. We are going to do that.
Aren't we?
They all asked that we pull together for the Crimson and the Blue We are going to do that.
Aren't we?
And, we are going to carry away the biggest share of the Missouri Valley bacon and be ever-victorious all-valley champions.
AREN'T WE?
He will receive a mighty shock when the 1915 Jayhawker comes off the press in May. The Honorable Benjamin Franklin will turn over in his grave and turn green. His envy will know no bounds.
OUT O' SIGHT, DICK!
Poor old Poor Richard!
All this is what Editor E. M. Johnson says in advertising the annual for this year. Far be it from any of us to cast any shadow of doubt on the editor's statements until we have reason to. Those at the head of the Annual this year are well-prepared, conscientious men and, if the seniors and the rest of the school give them the support they deserve, there is no reason why this year's Jayhawker should not overshadow all its predecessors.
We are with you, Editor Johnson.
The seniors are having their pictures taken and will have them in the manager's office before the holidays.
We are looking for a "classy" publication next May. We feel sorry for Ben Franklin and Poor Richard but—well how could they expect their ancient almanac to compare with ours?
We are with you, Editor Johnson!

PRELUDE OF SONGS BEFORE
SUNRISE.
Because man's soul is man's God still What wind soever waft his will
Sustains the indomitable light Whence only man hath strength
To port of shipwreck, left or right.
By shores and shoals of good and ill.
And still its flame at mainmast
bright.
Through the rent air that foam-flakes
What with
Across the waves of day and night
of whitewreck, left or right
Or helm to handle without fear.
Frown in own soul's light overhear
Across birth's hidden harbor-bar, Past youth where shoreward shallows are.
Through age that drives on toward the red.
Save his own ships right away.
None leads him, and none ever led.
Across birth's hidden harbor-bar
Vast void of sunset hailed from far,
To the equal waters of the dead;
Save his own soul his hath no staff,
And stinks, exegetes in the dark,
A middle turn of tide.
THE QUESTION BOX
—Swinburne.
This department does not pretend to know everything that you may ask about the best of its ability. It reserves. Don't ask about coins stamps or biographical data that you cannot answer. Questions concerning the vital problems of our department, such as the attention of the experts in this department, should be addressed.
I am a freshman From the western part of the state and would like a suggestion from you in regard to the proper way to have my hair trimmed. Out home I never even tell the barber to shave my neck around but here the barbers won't do it unless I tell them.
I have noticed several other men—in fact most all of them—with their necks just shaved down the side and they look as if just trying to slip on over them.
Yours for correct dress.
Dear Freshman:
I always pay attention to the little things. If hair cuts are different in the east be sure to let me know at once.
To the Question Editor;
We are glad to find out that you do care about the little things and also are glad to have the opportunity to drop you a hint on the Q. T.
There are many kinds of hair cuts as you know, like Paul dourd's, and the kind where you get shaved round. They have all come and gone. As a friend I would advise you to grow a feather edge and stay with the crowd.
ANOTHER FREAK IDEA
Now comes the plan, set forth in recent issue of the Minnesota Magazine, to have the student body judge the ability of the faculty.
"To be sure, the faculty must conform to certain standards," says the article, "but the administration can never sit in a class during instruction, but that the instructor is giving in inspiration, interest and personality."
For that reason the article urges a system of open enrollment whereby a student may enter a course and if he finds it unsuitable, the instructor dull and fossilized, can change to another course without expense.
"If you are not good to your sister, she will be on her wings and fly back to heaven."
This system it is claimed would effectively do away with the members of the faculty whose methods of instruction are dead and whose courses are merely well worn and narrow grooves.

OLIPHANT—THE ARMY'S PRIDE
OLIPHANT—THE ARMY'S PRIDE
Ollie Oliphant, is the name spoken most frequently now among football fans as they rehash the closing games of the season. It was Ollie who sank the Navy this year.
Oliphant ran through the Middies' whole team for his second touchdown Saturday and carried one of the goaltenders over five yards. He carried the ball almost every play and never failed to make a gain. Once through the line he covered the net, but that he played the most remarkable game they ever witnessed.
"I don't want to."
The question that betters some people is where the Oliphants come from anyhow. They come from the Mediterranean, a miraculous performer. His superior skill is due to his superior training. Oliphant trains every day in the year.

A PROFESSOR AWAKENS
Is Interested in Better Understanding Between Faculty and Students
(Once in a while—not any oftener than that—a faculty member takes enough interest in general affairs of the University to sit down at his table and write a communication to the Daily Kansan. Whenever one does it, he writes something worth while and the following, answering a communiqué on the Campus. Each column last night, is so good as to merit special mention and an unusually large amount of space—the Editor.)
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
The communication signed "Student" which appeared in your issue of yesterday, deals with a matter which seems to merit some comment. It raises a question on which we all tend to talk in different tongues, and to doubt one another's good faith.
"Student" is justly indignant because a friend of his has been accused by a hasty instructor of cheating, when as a matter of fact, he had done honest work; and after much labor had produced an English paper so well written, he was sure he must have plagiarized—without waiting for proof, said so.
I see "Student's" side of it. I see it so well, in fact, that I know he has not duly considered the point of view of a student, and I have no authority. I had a personal experience recently which illuminates the matter considerably. It may help if I relate
HAD SIMILAR CASE
I was giving an examination to one of my classes a few days ago. In the middle of the room sat a man whom I count among my best students, and whom I always trusted. Suddenly I noticed that his eyes were following their direction. I saw a paper laying at his feet. There was writing on it. I didn't want to make a scene, and I shrank from humiliating the student; and yet it was clear that I must do something. I resolved that somehow or other I would get that paper. But how? - I sat back and looked around. And my heart was very heavy because he was a man I'd banked on.
Presently he finished the page on which he was writing; and laid it over the paper on the floor. Then he went on writing; and now and then he wrote again, till finally at the page he had just finished, till finally he covered it with the next
Did I feel like an ass?—I certainly did.
And yet, I am not so sure that I was to blame for my momentary certainty that I had a cheater on my hands. The circumstances would have been convincing to most persons, I am sure.
Suppose I had accused that student at once, instead of waiting till I might the more effectively prove my case, then I would have been well. Yes, well—in a sense. But in another sense, no; for both of us would then have been the victims of that social condition which makes open cheating unlawful. No, if he had been really cheating, none of the many persons around him would have felt themselves bound to take action in the matter. They would have felt no personal responsibility whatever.
Had anyone taken it upon himself to openly protest, he'd have been labeled a "tattle-tale," after the manner of high school days; and would not have asked more than the cheater of having his life on the campus made intolerable. The others would have asked the question "Am I my brother's keeper?" forgetting that the man who first asked it to me was my own condemnation when he asked it.
Had I been able to rely on the students around that man to take the view that cheating was not to be told, but rather that it was the paper on the floor, a second thought. As it was, both the student and myself nearly became the victims of a social condition. Aside from the question of too much haste on my part, it would have been the fault of the student would not have been his. It would have been the fault of our spineless ethics. The students of the University of Kansas would have been to believe that who are responsible for the fortunate mistake related by "Student."
INDIVIDUALS MUST SUFFER
Any body of public opinion which looks with anything but furious and implacable hostility on lying and cheating, will suffer as a body for the sins of its members. The Uni-
tiest nation in the world ever attain its full stature till its students require a passion for righteousness, and an effective spiritual fervor for spiritual things.
If the students of this University are willing to endure the company of cheaters, let them not complain if now and then they find themselves smeared with some of the pitch. Let them reflect that they are free to choose their own company; and that so far they have chosen badly.
There are universities in this country where a discovered and convicted cheater is taken to the railroad station, and placed on the first
The instructor in question made a bad mistake. Very good! Thumbs down! But—the student he accused knew, just as all of us know, that in college you should not be the instructor would have been right instead of wrong. I don't mean to be cynical—but let's just face this thing as it is. I don't defend him, I don't blame him, and young men just out of college often do. So do young men still in college.
It is because I feel this so strongly that I insist on conducting all my academic work on the honor system basis. If I found myself in such a relationship to my students that I could not look upon them as normal, approachable, moral human beings, I'd stop teaching; for it would mean that I could regard me as a sort procter; a proctor; an examination or anywhere else is an outword and visible sign of the corruption he is set to watch. I won't teach on these terms. I'd rather get cheated now and then.
PROFIS HAVE FAULTS, TOO
I do not mean students monopolize police who does not know himself as the greatest of sinners. We are all in the same boat; and for that reason if for no other, a condition of suspicion and mistrust between students and faculty, as is illustrated in Stuart's book, "bought short-sighted human document, is destructive to the last degree."
There is no sane faculty member who does not see that student backsliding are more often than not the faults of immaturity—the failure "to learn" or "not succeed." Not even faculty members can see life with such a vision as that; but most of us are a bit further on the road to it than are our students; and if we are the right kind of teachers, we try in humbleness of all things with much stumbling to make a trail that may be worth following.
"What is a student to do?" asks "Student". It is not a question of apologies, retractions, complaints, and all that nonsense. Let the student who has a grievance, or the instructor who has a grievance, go straight to his man, look him in the eye, and make man-talk, at St. Paul. Let him by no means go running with his troubles to the Dean or the Chancellor, until all other means to an understanding have failed.
The statement in "Student's" letter that there are "approximately 3000 reasons"—towit, students—"why the members of the faculty have jobs," is ill-considered. Students is a very young man, or he might know what to do. Kansas has its being neither in its faculty nor its students. The University of Kansas would continue to exist if everybody here from the Chancellor down to the guinea pigs were wiped out of existence today; it would continue to exist if all the people of Kansas were included in the catastrophe. That crud idea, held by the Great Half-Baked, that "there are approximately 3000 students who have jobs," goes far to explain the state of our ideas; it shows with gahstly clarity why we have among us those who see nothing particularly wrong in cheating, in childish actions in the task badly done in slovenly mental habits, and in flaccid ethics.

NEW GEOLOGY FRATERNITY
GETTING MANY PETITERANS
Sigma Gamma Epsilon, the new fraternity founded at the University of Kansas last December in the interests of geology, mining and metallurgy, has started the work of expanding. The Council has granted a charter to a petitioning body in the University of Pittsburg, Pa., and Prof. W. H. Twister, Leave lee Dec. 13, to install the chapter. Sigma Gamma Epsilon is the first national fraternity to be founded at this institution.
The School of Mines at Pittsburgh ranks very high and the establishment of a chapter there will be of great value in the future of Sigma Gamma Epsilon. Among the petitioners are three of this year's champion football players, including captain-elect Williams.
Granting this chapter is the outcome of systematic work planned by
the founders here. Other technical schools over the country have shown their interest in such an organization by sending in petitions. The Grand University started the investigation of a number of the petitioning bodies.
The editors of the University section of the Jayhawker met Wednesday in Room 110 in Fraser Hall to assign the work of this department of this year's Annual. Under the plan, the students will include what was formerly the politics, club, faculty and art sections and the space given to each school.

Lack of men for the tumbling team has caused the Athletic Association to turn down the challenges of a number of Missouri Valley schools. The scarcity of men is the result of misunderstanding on the part of the students regarding the character of work, according to H. A. Lorenz, under whom the squad works.
MORE TUMBLERS ARE
NEEDDED TO MAKE TEAM
Freshmen and Sophomores have looked upon tumbling as advanced work, while in reality the building of a successful team depends on experience. With the organization of a team, competition with other schools will follow.

DOING THEIR PART
Some of the women from the Alemanna house who have an especial love for six mile hikes, discovered
Sunday while resting peacefully on a few planks close to the little boxcar near the Six Corners depot, that no Sunday trains ran on the Leavenworth branch line into Lawrence. An automobile picked up two of the most pitiful stragglers on their return trip and the others reeled into Lawrence with the kindly shades of night shrouding them.

BASKET TOSSERS WORK
Short Time Remains to Prepare For Opening of
Season
The opening of the basketball season is so close at hand that the situation is becoming acute from the coach's point of view. The squares of school are usually since the third week of school but only within the last two weeks has daily practice been started. With only one week remaining before vacation and the first game scheduled the necessity of practice is seen.
No practice can be held during the vacation so this leaves only eleven practices before Ames invades the Jayhawk camp. In that time the team must be picked and get going good enough to win the first game. However, the basket shooters will practice on many courts in a day and they are their vacation and keep in shape even at the sacrifice of their vacation.
But the prospects for the indoor game are far from discouraging. The fact that a squad of twenty-five has been out all season and they are still sticking leads one to believe that there will be class to the final product turned out by Coach Hamilton. Only two K men are out for positions and even these are not sure what position they men look好 for starting the first game of the season or even the Nebraska game which comes only one week later.
FOOTBALL MEN ARE OUT
Since the closing of the football season a team of varsity stars are trying out for the indoor sport and it appears that some of OleTTs' pupils may land a berth. Heath, Wood and Wilson are working on the indoor sport and are making things hot for some of the regulars. Heath and Wilson have been playing more before while Wilson showed up fine on the freshman squad last fall. He will have a good chance of winning a letter in basketball this year.
But the picking of the team remains a problem and the middle of the week will see some attempt at solving it.
Mrs. Terrill Talks Before Y. W.
About a hundred women attended the weekly meeting of Y. W. Tuesday afternoon. After tea had been served and the usual song service held, Mrs. A. C.

"No Yo, my boys!" said Fezziwig. No more work tonight, Christmas Eve, Dick, Christmas, Ehehonex!
"Scrooge took his melancholy dinner in the living room, and having read all the newspapers, and began to write with his banker's book, went home to
bed
A. Merrier, Christmas, Bob! My good fellow than I have given you a gift to buy your salary, and endeavor to assist your struggling fami-
affairs this very afternoon, with the help of a bishop, Bob! Make up the dress, and my another con-
fidence, for you dot another. Bob Cratchtie!
Frank Speaight, of London, a native of Dickens' country, will be the sixth number of the University lecture series. He will read "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. It will be at 4:30. One will see his Scrooge and the Cratchit family, for Mr. Speaight is an actor rather than a reader. He is known as "The Man Who Makes Dickens Live," and is regarded as especially fine in his interpretation of the man mast spirit that Dickens has put into his Christmas Carol." The recital, coming as it does, just at the Christmas season, gives it added interest.
Miss Mooy, secretary to the Chancellor, said today that a number of people had manifested interest in the recital byelling over the 'phone to ask about it, and Mr. F. Hamilton, chairman of the Committee on Music, too, said in speaking of the Composer, Speaight, who described very highly recommended."
Mr. Speapatt will be entertained at the University Club while here.

"The Bureau of Mines at Washington is now co-operating with the local research department," said Prof. W. A. Whittaker of the department of state industrial research "in its investigation of the process of flotation as applied to the conservation of treatment of Kansas zinc ores. According to an agreement set forth in a recent letter from the Bureau Professor Whittaker with the local department, we submitted the Bureau with regard regarding the work here for distribution to other parts of the country, while the Bureau gives the division here all valuable data on the work being done elsewhere.
K. S, A. C, AND EMPORIA
WOULD TUMBLE WITH K, U
"The University does not lack men for a tumbling team," said Dr. James W. Naismith this morning when asked about the rumor that the Athletic Association was obliged to turn down the challenges of a number of Missouri Valley schools for lack of men. "The tumbling team does not organize until after Christmas, for the men are busy with basketball now. There has been no attempt as yet to organize such a team."
Letters have been received already from Manhattan and Emporia State Normal who wish to form a triangular league with Kansas, but no definite decision will be made until after the team is organized on the team last year are back in the University, so that no trouble is anticipated in organizing.
ENZYME PEPSIS FOR BOARDING HOUSE BEEF

He says that the men and women of the University have come to the place where they expect a tickling of their palates with morsels of food on every occasion pertaining to a public function; at smokers, parties, afternoon calls, downtown shops, tours, dances, lectures, and the professor compared student in regard to his appetite to the sea cucumber, an animal which can have its stomach in any portion of its body and is ready to receive food at all times.

Seniors Meet Juniors, and Freshman Sophomores, in Series Saturday
CLASS GAMES TOMORROW
"Things look dark for us in our game Saturday," said Coach Fitzgerald of the juniors this morning. After getting to work on his jinx, he team in the form of injuries, John McLaughlin, star end, failed to show up for practice last night and it was found that he is in a bed with a severe case of tonsillitis."
Everything is all set for the games tomorrow and they will be played rain or shine. The sophomores and freshmen are doped about even and the seniors seem to have had better luck. If the Juniors had more men out who are the speed of Hill and Harlow in their backfield they would easily run away with the championship, but as the third year men have showed so much indifference to holding up the team against them, the weakest team of the four, from the present outlook
Last evening the juniors scrimmaged the sophomores and although neither team could score, the sophomores showed the better form. Dick Burton and Harle Russell were out for the first time and they didn't succeed if it were an onlooker feel as if the Varsity were out training for next fall.
After the interclass games are over the coaches of the various teams with the aid of the Kansan sport team, the two teams compete in football team. Several members of the various teams have showed great form in practice and if the continued form is shown in the games, when they compete against each other, they be keen for the births on the team.
PREVENTION THEIR AIM
University Health Service Seeks to Intercept Disease
"Motto of the University Health Service Committee is 'Prevention is better than cure,'" said Dr. Alice who is secretary of this committee.
"Our aim is not to cure acute cases so much as it is to keep the students well. In the different classes in hygiene students are taught how to take care of themselves; how to keep from contracting, different diseases, the effects of bandaging, and all subjects along the lines of first relief to the injured.
PREVENT SERIOUS ILLNESS
"If a student has a sore throat it is examinated and if symptoms of diphtheria or tonsilitis are found treatment is given which will ward off these serious diseases. By examining the blood much illness is used more than any other method of tracing disease. I have already sent over to the hospital some forty-seven girls who seemed run down and whose illnesses were thus cured before they had a good hold on the patient."
PREVENT SERIOUS ILLNESS
The fact that 680 dispensary cases have been treated proves the state's Goetz, that prescriptions are better than one followed in table shows the work of account accomplished by this committee: Dispensary cases up to Dec. 1 680

HOPE TO EVEN SCORES
Kansas Debaters, Brimming With Confidence, Prepare for Nebraska
Being the first debate that Kansas has had with Nebraska since 1904, tonight's battle takes on an added interest, for in the last few years, both schools have been successful on the forum.
Whether Kansas can avenge her many defeats on the gridiron and successfully wallop Nebraska on the for-ground when northeast Hail when the confident debating teams of these two universities meet to decide the question "Resolved: That the United States Shall Immute us substantially Increase Be Armament."
At the same hour in Lincoln, the negative team from Kansas, Henry Shimn, Raymer McQuiston, and Roy Crumpler make the decision a double victory.
The Kansas team, Clarendon Havenhurst, W. O. Hake, and Otis H. Burns, will uphold the affirmative while the Nebraskans, Charles L. Schofield, Guy C. Chambers, and Harold J. Schwab, will take the neg. both teams are made up experienced debaters in intercollegiate contests.
The judges for tonight's argument will be: Prof. C. M. Brink, of K. S. Wilkinson, of W. M. Johnston, of Jewell; and Darius A. Brown, former mayor of Kansas City.
The Nebraska delegation arrived yesterday afternoon at 3:15 on the Union Pacific and have been rehearsing and resting up for the battle since that time. The Nebraska team had its final rehearsal this morning in Fraser chapel immediately after the convocation.
THEY ENJOYED "SING"
Chapel Services Under Direction of Dean Butler, Proved Highly Entertaining
The real feature of the meeting was the reading, "King Robert of Sicily", given by Mrs. Florence Butler, wife of Dean Butler.
Old folk songs and tunes that are seldom heard around a university, and others more familiar, were revived and sung over again at the University of Pennsylvania. Fraser Chapel was filled to capacity with students and faculty.
After the regular chapel exercises, Dean Butler took charge of the meeting and lead the assembly in "My Old Kentucky Home". He pointed out some of the inaccuracies that have crept into the singing of this song, and had it repeated until it was done right.
The Crimson and the Blue, followed by a roaring "Hook Chick," closed the door.
“Meetings like this, I think, are a good thing for the University” said Chancellor Strong after the convoction, “We shall probably have more than one "Sing" during the year.”
CHANCELLOR TO LOOK FOR
CAMPUS COASTING PLACE
"I am going to look into the matter of a coating place on the campus and see whether it is feasible or not," said Chancellor Strong this morning.
It was thought last year that a coating place would be provided to eliminate the dangerous coating on the streets but the small appropriation has made it doubtful. Nothing has been done so far. The city ordinance, designating Indiana street as the coating course, is still in force
Caesar Rushed The Pigskin
The game of football dates back to the very early days. The ancient Greeks played a game called harpaston which had some of the features of modern football. The Romans later took up this game and called it harpastum. It is believed by many that the Romans, under Caesar, introduced football into England. It was first played in America in 1809.

"I guess that I will have to go to Topeka myself and get them," said Registrar George. "I don't know if it won't seem to be any other way to find out what they are doing with them."
The women students of the Indiana State University will have charge of the issue of the Indiana Daily Student, of December 10. All departments of that issue will be conducted solely by women.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1915.
If war is hell, then preparedness is religion. -Nmater Phalan.
WHY NOT INVESTIGATE?
Last night an editorial headed "Why Close At Twelve?" was run in the Kansas. Today more communications than can be printed have been received at the office from students commending the paper on the stand taken. Why don't some of the faculty members tell the students through the 'Campus Opinion' column just why the new closing hour was decided upon?
There is no feeling of animosity against those who were instrumental in passing the new ruling. In fact, the students believe that every member who sanctioned the new law tried, honestly and sincerely, to vote right. Every member who cast his ballot for what is considered by the undergraduate as a foolish measure, did what he thought, down deep in his heart, to be best for all. There is not a man on the board who is serving because it is any pleasure, but out of duty to the students who have gathered here from all parts of the state and nation.
How absurd!
However, an investigation carried on systematically would have revealed many things to the faculty members. It is almost impossible—under the present system—to close a dance at twelve. The guests do not arrive till nine, there is a half hour spent in getting ready to start activities, two hours spent in dancing and that leaves a thirty minute period for a banquet.
Why doesn't the faculty take some measures to enforce the rules they have already passed. Saturday night dances are supposed to close at twelve. They seldom do. If there is something the matter with the present system, the thing to do is to change it, and not make impossibilities more impossible by passing more rules.
Students of the University wish to be fair, but they also wish to be dealt with fairly. It is unfair that—under the present system (and we will use that phrase whenever it seems advisable)—those who have student affairs in charge should legislate without a practical investigation of conditions.
WHY BE THE CARBON?
To write originally is to think originally. This or that article in print might be highly original from the mind of one who has not signed it. Too many of us are carbon copies.
We don't think. Some of us can't think, but there are still a larger percentage who can but do not. A person who can work up an article about this or that subject by putting together the ideas of others is clever but not original. If he used this cleverness in developing originality, no matter what the cost, he would stride a bigger and better step than before. He would get somewhere—he would swim without the water wings. Hinging ideas on some suggestion is
very good if the hinge is not too large. The trouble so common is that the hinge is all out of proportion.
Why be the carbon copy when we can be the original? Do and think what others do not. Be the original and not the blue, mussy piece of ordinary copy.
OUR 1916 TEAM
Yea, Lindsey!
The 1916 football captain, who is to pilot the Crimson and Blue gridiron warriors to victory next fall, we greet heartily. Not a better choice could have been made and we are all with him.
The same old "fight" that was exhibited by players and students on November 13 this year will be behind the team next fall, and, with better material than has been available for the past decade, we expect captain and coaches to come upon the pigskin horizon in October with a really workable machine.
Anytime there is need of any help, yell! We'll all be there to answer the call.
THEY ASK ONLY FAIRNESS!
Why shouldn't the cross-country team be given "Ks?"
That is the question asked by many students this week. The faculty fought the measure to give those men who are working every day for the honor of the school, their letters and the Athletic Association refused to $ \dot{6} \dot{0} $ against the wishes of the teachers.
Those lightly-clad athletes spend as much time in their work as do the fellows who work out for the gridiron and more than is spent by baseball and tennis players. There is no objection to giving the tennis and baseball men the "K," but it does seem in justice to the men who, are spending their time for University supremacy as much as are any others, that they should also be given the school letter.
Why not a fair, impartial investigation instead of rulings based on sentiment and custom?
MAKE IT GO. P. M. A.
Phi Mu Alpha, honorary musical fraternity, is planning to bring a good soloist to the University for a concert. The idea is indeed a laudable one.
Local chapters of the fraternity in other schools are active along such lines. The Missouri chapter was instrumental in staging a concert by Fritz Kreisler, and another by Ian Paderewski.

CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent.
Mrs. Eustace Brown's latest is a rule that all dances shall close at 12 o'clock, because the street lights go off at 12:30; and it has a bad effect on the University to have the young students dance so late_ and then go home in the dark." Holding a dance until; 1 o'clock only one night of the week, Friday, certainly is not excessive, and if the young men of the Unit's club conduct the coords of KU. home in safety and honor, who can?
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
better than we hoped. Contributed.
The students at K. U. have experienced the purging influence of the prerequisites to entering college, and come as a rule from the most experienced initted teachers in each community. Mrs. Brown's frequent and continuous rules for more stringent chaperonage, etc., always given statewide public through the Kansas, give that position which conditions exist here which do not. The students of K. U. are not irresponsible children, but men and women. Can't we be treated as such? Many regard Mrs. Brown's attitude as an act of insensitivity, a slur upon the character of the man of the school.
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
The plan proposed to close dances at 12:00 instead of one o'clock, may not be a progressive movement but it certainly is another step toward taking away from the student which should be regulated by him.
Faculty legislation forced or students is all right if not peremptory as is this plan of Mrs. Brown's Studenta should spontaneously make such laws for themselves otherwise stand on the statute books unp敷ed.
The students themsevues should regulate their hours. A freshman needs to be kept within bounds but an upperclassman should know what is going on, and he seemsingly good legislation impedes the unity of the community.
A SENIOR
Aready the faculty has passed enough student legislation to make the supposedly student government one of the faculty. Kansas is not a school where students are sent by their parents for the purpose of being closely confined. Restraint brings a reaction and if the faculty passes many more rulings this reaction will become evident here. This is what has happened in other institutions with too much faculty supervision.
Women who cannot take care of themselves do not belong at a state university. Nor does legislation require the student in need of a nurse girl.
The Harvard Cooperative store handles all things required by College men, from furniture to theatre tickets. It has a large and extensive financially both to stock holders and to the general student body.
A MAN WHO DOESN'T ASK FOR
A FACULTY NURSE
The membership in the cooperative society has increased this year from 3193 to 3255, the largest it has ever been. This of itself should testify to the worth of the organization. This number will be swelled by the number of students from the Technology Cooperative Society to the Harvard Society as soon as the Tech.Logy institute moves into its new building at Cambridge.
IT WORKS ELSEWHERE
The fact that dividends declared by the Harvard Cooperative Society have dropped this year from 8 per cent to 7 per cent should in no way alter the decrease in the appropriation plan is not a success. The decrease in dividend has been caused by the stoppage of the importation of foreign books and the loss of money from the furniture and parment owing to theoplease of new dormitories.

SEVEN ATTEND MEETING
County Club Union Fails to Draw Enough for Organization
With only seven delegates in attendance, the special meeting of the County Club Union in Fraser Hall will be held. The club presents a fizzle and the representatives present voted to postpone the meeting until Tuesday night, December 14, when the officials hope there will be fewer smokers and parties to interfere with
At the next meeting of the Union, officers will be elected and the Union reorganized on a substantial basis. Secretary Willard Glasso, who has been pushing the County Club movement desires all clubs to be represented at Tuesday's meeting. We wish to thoroughly understand the plans of the various clubs in order that it may help or advise the clubs in securing speakers for their respective banquets and other holiday blow-outs.
The central organization also desires to get in touch with as many of the organized clubs as possible, and to that end requests that each club have some member call or see the secretary of the Union, Willard Glacco, before Tuesday night in order that he may secure a list in order that their cocreative, unanticipated whether the club will give a banquet during the holidays, and get the club lined up with the central organization. The secretary can be reached over Bell phone 692, any time in the afternoon or evening.
IS NO FAIR MEASURE OF STEPS TAKEN IN COOKING
"No, we have never made any tests here to determine how far students walk in preparing a meal," said Miss Elizabeth C. Sprague, professor of Home Economics, when it was remarked that students at the University of Illinois had ascertained by wearing pedometers that the distance covered in preparing a meal was three miles. "And I wouldn't be able to make such a test either," she continued, "except under normal conditions, and we don't have normal conditions for a test of that kind."
"Most of our work is done in the laboratory; therefore, our laboratories, rather than our dining room, are so placed that time and energy may be economized to allow us to be so placed with reference to the kitchen, that there is economy of time and 'labor. Moreover,' she added, "a fair test can only be made when a student has performed a certain set of motions a certain number of times, then mechanical to the degree that needless movements are eliminated.
"Familiarity with the motions involved and normal arrangements would be the only conditions under which a true test could be made. I don't know under what conditions the test at Illinois was made," she concluded, "but I know that they do good work."
Cherokee Organizes
The county clubs are gradually falling in line and organizing. The Cherokee club is the latest. It met Tuesday night at 1312 Vermont and elected Chester Covey president and also laid plans for entertaining high school seniors during the holidays. They have been told to wear a mask when held at Columbus the night of the twenty-third, to which the seniors and the faculty, of all the high schools in county have been invited. They will also take charge of chapel meetings in these towns and members of the club will speak about K. U. They are making an attempt to have a number of the faculty from here address the seniors but as yet no one has been secured. The club has a membership over 400, they have opportune of accomplishing some good for K. U.
Replies to the letters sent out by the College Committee of the University Senate to the more important schools and colleges of the country regarding specialized degrees are beginning to come in.
OPINIONS DIFFER ABOUT SPECIALIZED DEGREE
The sentiments expressed in these replies differ greatly. Some schools are strongly in favor of the Kansas suggestion of giving specified degrees to students while others are entirely opposed to it.
The College Committee will not take any action, however, for the Committee's purposes.
The big question that is going around in the Medic school is who turned Doc. Mathews' dogs loose? Professor Mathews has been experimenting on these dogs for several years. A life-time of working dogs loose will put Prof. Mathews several months behind in his work.
A Question Of Tails
Watching the gorgeous sunsets which occur these mild December evenings is becoming a favorite pastime among many of the students who do not leave the Hill until late at evening. It is said by some who have witnessed the war that the beauty of the autumn sunsets from Mt. Oread nearly equals those which occur on Pike's Peak in the summertime.
MARVINITES HIT IT UP
Snappy Music and Speeches Heard at Mixer Last Night
Laying aside their books and levels, the proteges of Professor Walker and the professors of the Engineering School got to teach at the Eagles' school. The final of the annual Pep, snappy music, and good speeches made the affair a complete success.
The band, led by Mac, started the ball rolling and then followed smokes and cider. After the freshmen and the upperclassman had met during the intermission, C.B. Sykes, president of the School of 'Engineering, made a short task hosting Engineer's Day, to work for a successful class day this year. The Glee Club followed with A College Medley, There Little Girl Don't Cry, Somebody Knows, by Guy Waldo, and Schneider's Band.
ADVOCATES HONOR SYSTEM
Prof. H. A. Rice followed with a snappy talk on Honor Systems in which he said in part that the honor system of the Lehigh University was a success because the men were back of it, and that he believed an honor system would be a good thing for the Engineering School because of its influence and influence there was much, if any, cribbing being done.
Then came the feature of the evening; the broomstick fiddle of Edwin Burke on which he played a number of whirls in a unique and clever manner.
AMERICAN FAULT IS CARELESSNESS Prof. A, C. Terrell, of the mining school, spoke next on character. Accent on the word American fault is carelessness due to lack of training in the schools. Dunn & Bradstreet say that sixty per cent of the business failures are due to this fault. The great American Desert is not in the Rocky Mountains but over the hat of the average American.
The formal part of the program was closed by Dean P. F. Walker, on the subject of Keeping Up-to-date, and he followed this up by giving the pith of President Wilson's message to Congress. He also commended the men on their smoker and said that the whole thing was well worth while.
The sale of the Engineers' song books was highly satisfactory, according to Paul Dryden, who has had charge of them, but there are a few more that should be taken up immediately to make the whole matter successful. A few will be kept by the various faculty students and the four students but the most of them will go now. Dryden deserves much credit for his work.
Then followed the doughnuts and cider and informal stunts until the end.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
University Band will give its annual fall concert Wednesday evening, December 15 in Fraser Hall beginning at 8:15. A very heavy and most splendid concert program has been arranged. Watch Kansan for complete program later. Student ticket admits.

STIEHM LEAVES HUSKERS
Nebraska Coach to Leave Missouri Valley for Indiana
As a Christmas present to the Nebraska athletic association, Coach Jumbo Stiehm tendered his resignation as general manager of athletics at Nebraska. At the same time he announced that he had accepted a three-year contract from
A. H. Rutledge
Indiana University. His new position will carry a salary of $4,500 in contrast to $3,500 with the Lincoln school.
JUMBO STI EHM
The report came as a surprise to the Nebraska authorities as well as to the whole Valley. No thought of any friction among the Cornhusk or coaching staff had leaked out and the resignation is a blow to the northern emphasis on the unexpectedness of the resignation the athletic board have no candidates in sight nor have they even thought of any. Some careful scouting and searching will be necessary to get a man to fill the shoes of Ewald A.
INDIANA WANTED HIM
The trouble began a few days ago, when Stiehm asked the board for a raise. No intimation was given that he had an Indiana contract in his pocket waiting only his signature to be valid. The board did not consider the demand imperative and allowed the matter to drift along for a few days in the hope that it would pass over. However, Jumbo was instructed to resign himself to the handed his resignation to the president of the board and telegraphed the Indiana authorities that he would be with them next year.
Ewald O. Stiehm (meaning Jumbo) has been with Nebraska since 1911 and in that time he has turned out five Valley championship teams on the field, six in the golf floor. He is one of the most feared coaches in the Valley. Under his direction the Cornhuskers have built up a system of coaching and recruiting that is unequalled anywhere in the Valley. The problem before the size of Stiehm who he must continue this system in the path it has been started.
Meanwhile the Kansas chances go soaring. With the change to a permanent coaching system in place of the constantly shifting system which has been used for five years, the Jayhawker hopes would be naturally placed within the conditions with the Cornhuskers the Kansas followers hope for a string of victories over the Nebraskans equal to the latter's record. The only regret from the Kansas side of the gridiron is that Olcott's squad of the next two years could not line up against the Cardinals and the porters feel that we are due for a victory but the departure of Stiehm only hastens it.

The seniors and the sophomores won the two class football games Saturday afternoon on McCook Field. The juniors went down to defeat before the seniors, and the freshmen lost their contest to the sophomores 12 to 7.
The weight and "beef" of the seniors caused the defeat of the light junior team. The heavy back-field seniors plunged through the junior line and skirted the ends at will.
But for the work of the pucky little Hill, junior quarterback and his teammate, Marlone, both on the defensive and the offensive, their opponents would have rolled up a brain larger score.

Grads Follow Different Lines But Pharmacy Serves as Foundation
It is hardly probable that the most extreme visionary would recommend a degree in pharmacy as preparation for the position of traveling auditor for a railroad company and yet it has been done. At least partly, for though it may not prove as useful that such advice was given, yet Louis H. Bergert in 1833 and at the present time is traveling auditor for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad with headquarters at Topeca. Pharmacy must indeed offer some preparation for the railroad company for Willimund to class of '96 is now freight solicitor for the Wisconsin Central Railway, stationed at Portland, Oregon.
Railroad men are not the only ones who receive preparation for their life work in studying powder and pill making. The School of Pharmacy has produced bankers and brokers. Roy Allen graduated in pharmacy in 1899 and is now a broker in New York City while Roy L. Walter, WALTER E. Williams 1939 and Albert F. Wulfeckd 1972 were turned to the banking business since leaving school. Wilson has also been elected to the state senate from the twentieth district.

TERRA FIRMA TREMBLES
Constant Tremors For Two Days, And Severe Disturbance Sunday
The University seismograph reported three distinct disturbances of the earth's surface Sunday afternoon. They were estimated by Prof. F. E. Kester to be either near the western coast of Canada or near New Zealand, and they are quite similar to those occurring at the time of the San Francisco earthquake.
For the past two days the University instrument has recorded a continued quivering of the earth, which Professor Kester says is most unusual in his entire six years' stay at the University.
The primary wave of the quake yesterday occurred at 3:09:15, the secondary wave at 3:13:38, and the main wave at 3:18:34. It made that the disturbance took place 1700 mile to the northwest or to the southeast.
"Since no report of any serious quake has been given by the press," said Professor Kester, "I think that the disturbances occurred at sea. The quivering of the earth for the past two days probably has been in Italy."

FIRST AID TO DRUGGIST NEBRASKA WINS TWICE
Service is Keynote of Drug Advertising Says Professor Flint
"So many drug stores degenerate into more coca-cola dispensaries," said L. N. Flint, associate professor of journalism, discussing the drug store world where he lets the tail wag the dog. The primary purpose of the drug store is to supply articles of a medical nature and not side lines, such as books or keepsie knifes. The drugstreet often forges in this his advertising.
"The first thing to remember in advertising is to be sure you are getting the right phase of your business before the people, the second is to remember that in a small town community while general competitive advertising will pass, specific competitive or combative advertisements especially true in the drug business, you run down the drugs of a competitor and it creates a distrust in all drugs, your drugs suffer as much as your neighbors.
"Advertise your pure drugs (if they are), your honesty, your service, if you wish but never forget to do it from the customer's viewpoint. Each man is the hub of his own particular universe, and it is his, not your slant of the question that proves the selling force.
"Generally speaking, when a man wants something from a drug store he wants it badly and at once. That kind of business calls for the human interest copy in your local newspaper advertising. The demand is not deliberate reasoning, but emotional appeal and is based largely on suggestions that the drugstore's problem make those suggestions gripping and timely. It is of little use to advertise stock food in June or sarsaparilla in August.
"If the druggist has been running a small general notice in the local paper, he should take it out and try beostoning some live definite article handled by his store. It would surprise us mightly if we only knew the amount of things they buy few people ever dream we had in stock. Hook up local with nationally advertised lines and lessen the mail order trade.
"Another point in success may depend on the selection of a distinctive something that will become a housekeeping item in every part of the community. A good window display adds dollars to trade; the judicious use of nationally known brands gives quick results, and in the drug business quick turnovers are not to be depressed."

Cornhuskers Out-talk Kansas on Both Sides of Armament Question
Nebraska defeated Kansas in debate both at Lawrence and Lincoln Friday night. A vote of two to one in both instances was the verdict of the judges. Clarendon Havingurst, W. O. Hake and Odis H. Burus championed the affirmative of the proposition. Resolved That the States should immediately and substantially increase her armament.
ment.
In support of the b. case of armaments they contended that the Monroe Doctrine would inevitably bring us into conflict with foreign nations, chief among which were England, Germany and Japan. Their second contention was that the maintenance of our neutrality rights was apt to lead to trouble with some European power.
The affirmative further argued that American interests in the Orient clashed with those of Japan and that hatred existing between the two races was a cause for war. The last point was that the present armament of the United States is inadequate to that a substantial increase would work for peace through the maintenance of our national policies.
In opposition to these arguments the negative, consisting of C. E. Sehofole, G. C. Chambers and H. J. Schwab, the representatives of Nebraska, contended that the South American Republics were now strong enough to defend the Monroo Doctrine was extremely improbable. They minimized the importance of our interests in the Pacific and contended that the increase in armament should not be made immediately. The allies do have the troops; they do have Darius A. Brown of Kansas City, Prof. E. C. Griffith of William Jewell College and Prof. C. M. Brink of K. S. A. C.
At Lincoln the affirmative was upheld by the Nebraskans. Zimmerman, Carr and Swenson in speaking for the affirmative, claimed that our nation was inadequately prepared and that force is the only method by which a nation can be defeated. K. U. team, consisting of Raymar MacQuiston, Roy Davidson and Henry A. Shimn, argued that there was no probability of war, that the idea of preparedness was fallacious and that at the present time America is adequately prepared and that an increase in military spending would immediately. The judge of the debate at Lincoln were Judge C. G. Lee of Ames, Iowa, Professor Peck of Iowa College, Grinnell, Iowa, and Prof. Jacob Van der Zee of Iowa State University, Iowa City, Iowa.

ENGINEER SONG BOOK
GETS WARM RECEPTION
Some book! Keen! This is the general opinion expressed by the engineers about their new song books. "Drink to Dear Old Kansas", the song that keeps peaceful citizens awake nights before a football game, the "Hamburg Show", the song which in former days roared the walls of the old Student Union and was famous "Ramble Song", and half a dozen more tunes are all found in the new song book.
Two features of the publication are several new poems by Willard Wattles, rhetoric instructor. One is *The Gotta Gotta*; the other, entitled, "They Gotta Quit Kickin' My Dawg Aroun" sets forth the grievances of the Marvinites and others who have lost intervention on account of faculty intervention.
In all there are twenty-seven songs and poems. Nine of the songs have piano scores.

"NO WAR TAXES"-HOLT
President Should Not Add More Burden, Says Editor of Independent
"If President Wilson can increase the army and navy without at the same time adding to the axes of his policy, he will have support; if not, the plan should be defeated," Hamilton Holt, editor of the Independent magazine, told the students of K. U., in an address on March 16 that "War" delivered in chapel this morning.
"Let the president do away with some of the many useless army and navy posts which are now being maintained at a great expense, and he will have enough money to build all the battleships and cruisers he wants." Mr. Holt continued. "If he will not come to him to shove any more burdens of taxation upon us. Our present armed force is strong enough to defend us. Furthermore the immediate danger of war is almost nil. All Europe and Asia are exerting themselves to remain on friendly terms with the United States to enter our mind, then we enter our own heart in support of armament, which can only arouse the suspicion and hate of other nations, at a time of all times when the United States ought to lead in a movement for peace.
PREPARATION DOESN'T BRING PEACE "The idea that preparation for war insures peace is one of the two great fallacies frequently advanced by peace advocates. The other is that war can be abolished by improving the military. Until mankind becomes co cowardly—and this has never happened yet—you cannot frighten him away from war by augmenting its horrors."
The only feasible solution of the problem of world peace, according to Mr. Holt, is a concrete league of the nations—a union fashioned after the government of the United States and capable of protection against aggression by motorized branched army and navy strong enough to defeat any possible coalition.
"Such a plan," the speaker urged, "is practical. Now as the league grows, possible opposition naturally decreases. As the possible opposition decreases, the league can gradually reduce its armament until nothing more than a mere police force remains.
"Under present standards, nations can settle their disputes either by arbitration or force, either method being legal. Yet force is illegal as a means of settling disputes between individuals, and it can with legal propriety commit acts which they would put their subjects to death for committing."
SUGGESTS WORLD LEAGUE "When this plan will be carried out, I do not know. But it's bound to come some day." Is it out is, and you cannot kill an idea.
Turning to the subject of war, Mr. Hamilton, with all the eloquence of the master of the English language that he is, set forth what he termed a moral defense of arguments against war: the moral, economic, and biological arguments.

START UNIVERSITY PLANT
State Institutions Should Manufacture Their Own Chemicals
By Dean L. E. Sayre
A short time ago a bright University student, impressed with the almost insurmountable difficulty of obtaining certain supplies on account, called at the office of the Dean of the School of Pharmacy to say he thought the Universities of the country ought to get together and furnish plain衬衣 to help them by them for the supply of their own chemicals.
SCHEME NOT IMPRACTICABLE
This shows that students are alive to the issues of the day and are thinking along the line of economic problems. The suggestion the student made, whether practical or not, proves a point about the importance of gratifying to the Dean that University environment stimulates original thought on economic problems. The Dean remarked to himself: The scholarly imagination sometimes outruns practical economics; it cannot wait for the plioding problem to be solved in verification, but still it is a wholesome thing to have a vively imagination.
But let us take the suggestion of this student seriously and ask what would be the advantages accruing from the adoption of such a scheme as he proposed? Besides the apparent material advantage there would be multi-form educational benefits. For example, students specializing in manufacturing and industrial chemistry would have open to an ample avenue of immensal and this benefit would be reciprocal, the University would be equally profited by
To those who say such a scheme was wholly impracticable, it may be replied, the same was said of the scheme for text-book supply by the state. Kansas might take the lead in chemical supplies. Whether practical or not, it is a significant fact that the European far more brought back the problem of supplying American industrial and educational needs with American products, of becoming industrially secf reliant. Consciousness of this has brought about the manufacture in this country a Phenol 'made in America' by a synthetic process. This makes four thousand dollars worth, entirely imported, is now met by home production.
PHARMACISTS FAVOR PLAN
To show that pharmacists of United States are fully alive to this subject, may be mentioned that at the last meeting of the American Pharmaceutical Association, held in San Francisco, the following resolutions were passed:
Whereas, It is our opinion that the next great stride in our commercial growth will be in the direction of the university represented by the university to practical use in our industries; and Whereas, The factory and the university have been together to the disadvantage of both these many years; therefore be it.
Resolved, By the Scientific Section of the American Pharmaceutical Association, that the United States Chamber of Commerce be requested to call a special meeting of representatives of the leading institutions of learning and of large manufacturing companies for the purpose of considering ways and means of generating and fostering a spirit of closer cooperation between them than has heretofore existed or now exists.
U. S. SHOULD BE INDEPENDENT
A letter from a large manufacturing house contains the following significant phrase: "In the manufacture of chemicals, it seems that all political parties should take up the question of protecting capitol interests in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries." Certainly this much is needed and the time is now ripe for action if we are to make this country self-dependent. Already some of our supplies are becoming exhausted. Fears are now entertained as to the future supply of these essential famine in America and every effort should be made to do with glycerine what has been done with phenol and oxalic acid.

SENIORSWRITETHESES
Paper Founded on Original Research Must be Submitted by Pharmics for Degree
Seniors in the School of Pharmacy must write a thesis founded on original research before they can receive their degree.
These researches have to do with every possible phase of the vocation—from the chemical to the commercial. Each student, after consultation with the Dean of the school, will first select his topic, then will prepare an outline of what he proposes to do. He then goes to work, follows the outline decided upon—to which he is strictly held, and when the experimental work is completed, takes his notes and puts into shape for presentation. It happens, someone in the department, the student asks himself a surprisingly larger amount of work than he bargained for, but this makes no difference—he is held to it until the work is completed. In this way the department has been able through student investigation, to contribute, sometimes unexpectedly, valuable material for the pharmacist. A number of cases around him involved the investigations of Kansas students of the School of Pharmacy have been commented upon favorably not only in this country but abroad.
To enumerate the various contributions would be impracticable, but any one who would glance over the files in the Dean's office would be convinced of the value of this work to the student himself, which is, after all, the principal object. Nothing will so thoroughly test the students' ability so much as that which requires him in being the窒佣aries of knowledge he possesses to a focus in research, where he is obliged to do independent work, make his own observations and do his own thinking.
The theses are handed in at the end of the spring term—that time being devoted to the work, but many students commence their research work early and carry it through the whole year.
DRUGGIST THAT WAS
Would Have to be Aeroplaned to Present Methods Says K. U. Graduate
"As the drug store of today has changed appearance as compared with the drug store of twenty years ago, so to even a greater, extent has a change taken place in the personality of the druggist himself," says Crawford. "The ability to be now connected with the Rexall Store of Topeka, Kansas." "The successful druggist of today has to have more than merely a knowledge of drugs, he must be a salesman, an advertiser, a window trimmer, and a good mixer, and he must have a pleasing personality. The student should possess manishap and personality will never become successful as a druggist, no matter how thorough a knowledge of drugs and chemistry he may have.
"I often wonder now the druggist of old would fee," if he could be airplanted to the present up-to-date pharmacy. He would find the leech drawer empty, the shell bottles and the bottles of colored liquids no 'on request'. So many, many changes would confront the old apothecary that he might even suspect that he had gotten in the wrong place.
"The life of the drugrist is not an easy one, by any means," continued Mr. Tully, "he has enough regular duties to keep him busy, but added to these, he must meet the hundred calls a day for the city directory, for stamps, and "general delivery" for mail, and must be smilful and make you fell that you are always welcome in the corner drug store whether you want three cents worth of radium, or an ounce of Hydragyri Cinereum Ung.

TEACHING OF PHARMACY
K. U. Graduate Relates Experiences in Educational Side of Profession
By R. H. Needham,'01
During the late summer of 1905 I received an offer to go to a thriving city in the southwest, there to assist in the organization of a pharmacy school under the direction of a medica professor at a university. I accepted the proposition and found, on arriving that I was the only pharmacist among a faculty composed of physicians. Fortunately, the dean of the new school Dr. M. E. Gilmore, was an autumn graduate. Kansas pharmacy school, class of '97.
I was shown my laboratory and class room and informed that with all things provided I was expected to make good. The opening of school brought us twelve junior and one tuskier lady. The latter, I afterwards discovers will or shall lead a riot than to study pharmacy. Eventually he passed and has since done quite well as a stock farmer. My junior们 were a varied lot, including a very bright married woman, who had taken a correspondence course in pharmacy while working as a clerk, and two others whose clothing below were not used to walking on erra firma and shambled about either awkwardly. Inquiry of the clerk of the institution as to their preliminary education brought forth the information that they were all right as they had paid the tuition in full. I took the hint and said no to the suggestion of future recipients must show credentials other than coin of the realm.
A stranger in a strange land, I learned very shortly that teaching pharmacy in Kansas could not be done in a like manner in the southwest. Equipment was meagre and no institutions and people were different, with only a few good high schools accessible. District boards conducted examinations when and in such manner as suited best. Some boards were stricter, others law. The applicants were provided as the applicants were required to be qualified in order to pass. A common school education was all that could be required until a pharmacy law was passed, creating a state board of pharmacy, allowing us to raise entrustment requirements to two years of high school work.
EXPERIENCED MANY IMPFICULTIES Other difficulties soon appeared. I was expected to teach everything in the curriculum except chemistry, materia medica and bacteriology. To save expense, I was to teach iron treatment, to equip the sophomore medics and pharmacy to the freshmen. The medical students were about as well qualified for their work as the pharmacy students. In spite of discouragements and hard work I got through the year better than I expected. The next fall brought a larger number of teachers and better prepared. My teaching work was increased in the medical school and still no assistance provided until the third year when I was given an assistant in pharmacy.
I presume that my willingness to do so much work in two different departments was detrimental to the best teaching in pharmacy. But of work there was plenty and tew to do it for me, but I didn't want, the study of medicine was taken up, which gave me a very decided advantage, but it proved rather detrimental in the end as I was called upon all too frequently to take up work in other branches that did not pertain to pharmacy. The student knew that my last year this place was spent entirely in the medical school.
Scripture tells us, "Man cannot serve two masters." In my case it was partly true. I found a detracting influence produced by medical environment. I have remained true to it. Having spent ten years in the work, beginning under such adverse conditions, I have seen the realization of some of my ideals and ambitions in the teaching of pharmacy. While no great success was attained, still in memory I can see many of them in action. For the goal of making a number of whom are making a success of their calling. But sweetter to me are the friendships that were formed in the work, the individual assistance rendered students and the consciousness that developed in the development and elevation of pharmacy in the great southwest.

UTILIZE BY-PRODUCTS
By Hydrogenation Waste Oils Are Converted Into Marketable Commodities
Hydrogenation or the hardening of oils has been one of the scientific questions that the laboratory of the School of Pharmacy at the University of Cambridge does. If the success of the experiments is as great as Dean L. E. Sayre believes it will be, it will prove a great boon to the manufacturers of soap and butter substitutes and utilize the by-products in many large manufacturing plants.
Hydrogenation is simply the introduction of hydrogen, into the molecular structure of oil. The oil is changed chemically so that its percentage of hydrogen is increased. A special situation is needed for hydrogenation in hydrazine for which a number of patients have been taken out in Washington.
Hydrogenation of by-products may become of great commercial benefit to the manufacturers. The addition of less than one per cent of hydrogen to oil makes a compound with about the same consistency as lard, and would be a valuable addition to the kitchen.
Dean Sayre who has made an exhaustive study of this problem believes that the development of this industry will finally produce a substance which will take the place of such butter substitutes as peanut nutter and other articles of this nature used for dietetic purposes.
Another one of the ways in which hydrogenation may develop into a commercial asset is in the manufacture of soaps, especially those used for cosmetics. They can be made from fats such as lard and animal fats, considerable difficulty is experienced in perfuming them. But if a hardened fat can be made from a cheap oil, a process of hydrogenation can be used to remove the disagreeable odor and will make a solid body which does not neutralize or nullify the perfume.
Even now, with the process of hydrogenation at its present stage of development, it is possible to take a bad smelling oil and solidify it through hydrogenation, removing the disagreeable fishy odors.

Some Facts Relative to Phillips' Antiphlogistic The Red Brand Denver Mud Compound
In the past few years Surgery and Antiseptic dressing have made wonderful advancements. The laity have become more and more conversant with self treatment and first aid in injury. The old Flax Seed and Broad-leaf dressings are scarcely ever used by the up-to-date well read physician. Medical and scientific authorities have discovered through microscopic and bacteriological research that the old time Flax Seed poulice was even at ease to germ-filled applications that could be devised to be placed upon open wounds, cuts, burns, ulcers, etc., from the very fact that Flax-Seed meal is fattening to insect life of every character. The physician of today prefers a blood poison to prevent blood poison. It is not a patent medicine as the formula is on every package. It is non-poisonous, non-irritating anti-septic absorbent, (not drawing) poultice, reducing temperature and relieving inflammation by absorbing the water from the tissues, preventing it from form a watery blister under the skin.
When Denver Mud Compound is applied it absorbs the water excludes the air and quickly relieves the pain. When applied to spruals, boils, felons, bee-stings, etc., it relieves the throbbing pain at once. When there is a contused condition the flesh becomes dark (as in the case of a black eye) and the skin becomes rough. It can be applied thick and covered with parafine paper, this is preferable to cotton or cloth bandages as the paper will not absorb the glycerine.
When parafine paper is used it is not necessary to bandage as it will remain in place from 18 to 20 hours on any part of the body.
Denver Mud Compound might be called a healing ointment without grease. It is soluble in water and can easily be washed off. Being composed of potassium salts with Kaolin, Oil Peppermint, Boric Acid, Menthol, Thentol, Methyl-Salicate and other antiseptics. It does not become dry and hard when standing in the can like some of the cheapest ointments that contain very little if any glycerine.
Denver Mud Compound is always the same, soft and smooth, spreads easily, cold or hot, satisfaction is assured whenever it is used. Will not deteriorate or become ramsal and is an antiseptic antiphosphitic dressing.
Care is taken in the manufacture of Red Band Denver Mud Compound, using only high grade materials, it is put up in air light tin cans which are sealed in an attractive carton, so that it can always be relied upon, is prepared only by the Denver Mud Chemical Company, Kansas City, Mo.

FOUR YEARS ARE NEEDED 2-Year Pharmacy Course Inadequate—Outlines New Plan
L. D. Havenhill, Professor of Flor
maeuctural Chemistry.
One of the most prominent pharmacists and pharmaceutical educators, Dr. H. M. Whelpley, at the recent meeting at the American Pharmaceutical Association said: "Pharmacy as we find it calls for men and women of evenly balanced minds to think right".
Needless to say, the object of all higher education is to meet this demand, and as is well known, the School of Pharmacy of the University of Kansas was organized for the express purpose of securing for the druggists of the State the best to be had in pharmaceutical education.
The two-year course inaugurated at the start was early found inadequate for those who had ideals concerning the future of pharmacy. Arrangements were accordingly made to offer post graduate courses for the more professionally inclined students, before the school had been five years in operation. These special courses were increased in number from year to year to meet the ever growing demand for higher education. In 1890 it was found necessary to outline an entirely new course of study for the more ambitious students and to extend it over four years.
THE FOUR YEAR COURSE
This course, popularly known as the four-year course, is to the
**Bachelor of Science**
It is and always has been based upon the same entrance requirements as those which are demanded by the College and which recently were imposed upon the students enrolled in the shorter (two-year) course.
The increasing requirements for educational facilities to meet the demands of those who particularly wish to emphasize the professional side of pharmacy have been compiled with in this course. It is now, more than ever before, a course having a distinct cultural origin and a strong scholarship for its completion and offering in return a thorough grounding in the fundamental sciences upon which the principles of pharmacy are based.
The thorough preliminary preparation required, the increased time, and the broader training, give the necessary equipment for that type of research which has real worth in the advancement of scientific knowledge.
LIBERAL OPTIONS OFFERED
The liberal options offered allow the student exceptional opportunities for specialization in those sciences and knowledge of drug materials is necessary.
The four-year course opens the way along which the student may advance into the various fields of scientific activity such as is occupied by bacteriologists, physiologists, pharmacologists, biological chemists, food analysts, drug analysts, manufacturing chemists, etc.
Twenty-one thousand families have been represented in the student body since the founding of the University of Kansas.
The mental equipment obtained from such r. course, even if one does not care to enter these fields, will broaden one's field of activity as a pharmacist, will so equip him that he may with facility engage in one or more sidelines of a strictly professional character which necessarily will for him greater respect from the media than from the time of the honored profession of pharmacy, the esteem in the future that it has for centuries enjoyed in the past—a worthy ideal in this age of commercialism.
In the University of Kansas 63.3 per cent of the students are church members, and 89 per cent have religious decremes and are church attendants.
The University has two thousand eight hundred and seventy-three sons and daughters of the state enrolled this year, the student body itself, both in organization, learning a striking resemblance to a Kansas city of 2,900.
The University of Kansas was located at Lawrence 50 years ago.
Bricks made by convict labor are being used to build a new building on the campus for the housing of the animals used in experimentation.
Liquid air, manufactured by the department of chemistry, is sold all over the United States. It is shipped in plastic bags and used largely for experimental work.
University buildings are heated and lighted from central plants operated by the institution.
A new Student Union has been opened by the students of Vermont University.

ONE. THREE. FIVE
That is the Number of Teachers in the K. U. Pharmacy
School
The faculty of the School of Pharmacy makes a formigable list of twenty-nine names, eight of whom constitute the governing body. Five professors give their undivided attention to pharmaceutical subjects.
The five are Dean E. L. Sayre, Prof. L. D. Havenhill, Ass't Prof. Charles M. Sterling, Prof. C. F. Nelson and Prof. Robert H. Wilson. The men who spend part of their time with classes composed of pharmacists are Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, Prof. Samuel A Mathews, Prof. Frank B. Mathews, Assistant Prof. George W. Stratton.
Dean Lucius Sayre, beloved of pharmacists at K. U. for a quarter of a century, left his drug store in New York to head the infant school, 1885 and head the infant school. Every pharmic knows about that drug store, for although it has grown by one of the longest stores in the Dean's heart it still was a warm place in the Dean's heart.
Dean Sayre is a professor of pharmacy and materia medica and holds the degrees Ph. G., B. S, Ph.M. Then, too, he has so many students that he may not mention a few: Member of the Revision Committee of the United States Pharmacopoeia (ever since 1892), Second Vice-President of the American Pharmaceutical Association, President of the State Board of Health, and Member of the Botany Staff of the State Board of Agriculture. The Dean always has a hobby, that is, some experiments which are aimed at studying the processes these hobbies have been loco weed, reselium, corn oil, and coffee.
Prof. L. D. Havenhill has the distinction of teaching the most "Bunkable" course in the entire School of Pharmacy. And the course is also organic chemistry which emmits acuity in arithmetic which bats about .666 in the flunkers' league. Prof. Havenhill and others who know, insist that the course is not very hard, but that it is impossible to get the students to realize that it does require some work Mr. Havenhill is a Bachelor of Science degree from K. U. in 1903. He has taught here since 1899.
George N. Watson, who has charge of the drug laboratory was a wanderer while in school. He received his bachelor's degree at Michigan, his master's degree at K. U. and his doctor's degree at Princeton. He has taught in the School of Pharmacy since 1910.
Charles M. Sterling is a K. U.
man who has taught on the Hill
since 1901. He is assistant professor
of pharmacognosy, which translated
into English that he teaches the botanical department of the pharmacy curriculum.
C. F. Nelson, professor of physiological chemistry obtained his Ph. D. degree from the University of Wiscon and beside having the wide reputation as a biological chemist is a well trained pharmacist as well.

It Builds up Trade, Establishes Credit, Saves, Time, Suggests Cleanliness
ARRANGE DRUG STORE
Are you getting the best results possible from your drug store with the stock you have on hand? If you are not, then look to its arrangement. According to Dean L. E. Sayre the arrangement of the stock and fixtures of a drug store is one of the greatest factors in the success and popularity of the store. There are four reasons for the need to arrange First, it saves time; second, it suggests cleanliness; third, it establishes credit; and lastly, it builds up trade.
Since all stock cannot be on display, prominent places should be reserved for goods that appeal to the eye of the customer, and an artistic and novel arrangement will add attractiveness. For goods that are affected by the seasons, prominent places should be given during their peak season. At all times as much stock as possible should be in sight for the sake of the impression produced by an ample display of merchandise.
Fixtures should be chosen with the greatest care. If the store is lighted, the fixtures may be dark, but if the store is so situated as to be naturally dark, light colored fixtures should be used. Lighting fixtures should be well lit in a well stocked store is an advertisement. Over each show case a light ought to be placed, so as to show off the contents of the case to the best advantage. If each light has its own cord the light may be turned off and on automatically when the case is arranged. A systematic arrangement of drugs in the wall cases should be made so that there will be no waste of time in getting them. Patent medicines should be placed in a physiological order according to their use. The bottles should be of sight in the room. And most toil all,廉洁 and order should prevail. The purpose of the model druggitter should be not only to comply with the cleanliness and neatness demanded by humanity, but the neatness practised by an orderly company by the many practices are carried out, the drug store will automatically become successful.
Many resources of Kansas have been developed as a result of the geological survey of the coal, lead, zinc, oil, gas, building stone and clays of the state conducted by the University.

IT IS THE TRICENNIAL
Pharmacy School Was Established in 1885 by L. E. Sayre, Present Dean
This year marks the thirtieth anniversary of the School of Pharmacy established in 1885, due to the organized efforts of a body of men who represented the Kansas Pharmaceutical Association.

in that year the Board of Regents, during the administration of Chancellor Lippincott, were instructed to select a proper person to act as Dean of the school and one who should be responsible for the outlining, directing, and controlling of the courses of instruction in connection with the departments of materia medica, pharmacy, pharmaceutical chemistry and the other sciences of science. He was the curriculum of Pharmacy. L. E. Sayre, who had been connected with the Philadelphia School of Pharmacy, was chosen for this position and took up the work in the fall of 1885.
During the first year the classes were held in the old Chemistry building, which is now occupied by the Department of Physiology and the University Daily Kansan. Lab services are co-joined with the Chemistry department. The rapid growth of the school, however, necessitated larger quarters, and the basement of the building was soon used to make room for more classrooms. The Pharmacy school remained the center of instruction until 1900 appropriations were made for the present Chemistry and Pharmacy building.
The growth of the Pharmacy school, during the last thirty years is to a great extent the enthusiasm of Dean Sayre. The school is now ranked among the first in the United States. Dean Sayre has a habit of mixing with all the students in the department, and is known to them as "Daddy" Sayre.
The influence of the school has been felt over the state. Pharmacy has been raised to a professional standard, trained pharmaceutical chemists have been furnished for more technical work, and the school is no longer enclave in pharmacy but has all analytical work on drugs, spices, and food accessories is done under the execution of the Food and Drug Act.
More room for expansion is now needed to insure a mere complete system, capable of carrying on extended investigations.

THE SPIRIT OF THE PHARMICS
If the world were composed entirely of William Jennings Bryan there would be no need for defense protests. But it iam G. Washington Every Evening.
It has been pointed out many times that, as a University grows to number its students in the thousands, it loses much. And there is reason behind the argument, too. It is impossible to bring three thousand students together and keep the school one big family, its students nrowing one another, having like aspirations, and coming from families so near alike that they will find much in common. It is a truth that great numbers of people will naturally break up into a number of smaller groups, groups that are bound together by some common tie.
Often the tie that blinds is the constant contact of the class room. Thus the students in the School of Law are closer to one another than are the students of the College to those of the School of Engineering.
And in the smallest School in the University, the School of Pharmacy, it is natural that the students should be closer to one another than are those in any of the other schools. There are less than seventy-five of these pharmacies all told, but they cling together with a solidarity that offsets their lack of numbers. They are able to develop the true family spirit. They see one another every day and they have much that is of interest to their fellows.
Dean Sayre, who might well be called the Father of Kansas pharmacy, starts his flock on the right trail every year by entertaining all of them at his house. So from the very first they have an opportunity to work as a group and to gain the impetus that friendship and cooperation alone can give.
Possibly some of us, who have little occasion to enter the Chemistry Building, can not appreciate just what it means to have a real school spirit in a University. We should go over to the Chemistry Building some morning and see the pharmics in action. Then we would understand, and possibly wish we too, were of Dean Sayre's family.
REPRESENT K. U.—WELL
Next Friday most of the students will leave Lawrence to spend two weeks at home. Some of them will wear a different hat, a different suit, or a different style of speech from what they had when they left home in September. The folks back there are going to notice these changes, and they will ask, "Has college life improved John, or Mary?"
The upperclassmen on previous occasions have passed this inspection at the home town. Now the freshmen, imbued more or less with the college spirit, will go home to pass the same inspection. This examination will be more critical and will count
or more than many college men think. When visiting at home, or down town the student forgets that his interests have been changed somewhat from other people's and talks most of the time about football, nightshirt parades, dances, rallies and smokers, and the startling or alarming events which are sometimes accessible to college life; if he is not as cordial as previously, and on the second day home remarks that the old town is dead; then the men who overhear him will say, "College life isn't helping that man."
The home town judges the University by what K. U. students say and do. They know scarcely anything of grades or of the work done at a great school. Whatever may be the student's love for his college or his loyalty he should not forget that his home town expects more of him after he has been in college. He should be careful about offending his friends by mentioning things which can not be obtained in his home town. He should always remember that he is indebted to the 'town, and if it is not what it should be, then it is his duty to help make it better.
When you go home, get all the joy out of as many handshakings as you can. Represent your University as you expect a professor to represent it. You can raise the estimation in which the University of Kansas is held in your town.
DO IT.
THEY DESERVE PRAISE
The faculty committee having morning prayers in charge deserve praise for the work this year. Some of the state's best speakers have been brought to the University for five twenty-minute talks and each one of them has left some good thoughts in the minds of the students.
And morning prayers have been more lively than before. The music has been better and each meeting goes along with a snap that makes it interesting to attend.
"REGRETS, JUMBO"
"The best laid plans of mice and men—" you know it.
Down here in Lawrenee, Coach "Beau" Olecott was working with a vengeance to get together a gridiron machine that would snow up Jumbo Stiehm and his Nebraska Cornhuskers. That was the plan.
But now Jumbo decides that Indiana's $4,500 has a better jungle than Nebraska's $3,500 and he accordingly packs his trunk and buys a ticket from Lincoln to Bloomington. That's the "aft agley" part.
We regret to hear that the big man will leave the West. He has been valuable to Nebraska and has done much to teach the Kansans parts of the college pastime. We regret more the fact that the Jayhawkers will not have a chance to show him up next year.
Good bye, Jumbo. We will try to schedule a game with Indiana some day.
The merchants know that last-minute shopping is unsatisfactory. They know the shopper rushes into the store in a hurry, buys in a hurry, and is disappointed as a result. They know the clerks are becoming wormout, and necessarily cross, thus reflecting upon the store. They know their stock has been picked over by that time, and the best articles taken. Failing to find what is desired, the belated Christmas shopper places the blame upon the store.
"Shop Early" has become a slogan among the merchants. They desire to distribute, if possible, the Christmas buying, so that it is not thrown for the most part, into the last two days before Christmas.
SHOP EARLY!
Those planning their Christmas gifts, know, too, that late buying cannot be done so well. After each Christmas we hear resolutions to start early next year.
Still, year after year; the same comedy—or tragedy—is enacted.
Shop Early!
Shop Early!

CAMPUS OPINION
To the Editor of the Kansan:
The problem of securing teachers of Pharmacy has been called to the attention of the writer, frequently during the past few years. The Directors of Schools of Pharmacy, who have teaching positions to be filled, complain, quite generally, scarcity of men qualified to teach the subjects of Pharmacy their relation to the profession; the modern pharmacy; the nature of modern Pharmacy makes the teaching of it, a subject of peculiar educational interest.
While the positions for teachers of Pharmacy are few as compared to other lines of teaching, at the same time the men well qualified to fill such positions are even fewer. Those sought as teachers are usually among the graduates of the four year course of pharmacy, and preferably those who have had, in addition, experience in the retail drug business. Since only a small percentage of the graduates are from the four year courses, and even fewer are otherwise qualified to teach, the problem of filling teaching positions, in our schools of pharmacy, with properly trained men, is easily understood.
It is not hard to find men prepared to teach Chemistry, but to find men trained in Chemistry as applied to Pharmacy with its peculiar and interesting problems, is difficult. There are plenty of men trained in the branches of biology, but the man trained in bacteriology in its relation to pharmacy, or in botany as applied to pharmacy or in physiology in its relation to the other branches of the subject, is not usually to be found. The man fitted to teach the art of prescription compounding, and the skillful preparation of pharmaceutical products, is even harder to find. In this connection it may be said that the man trained strictly in pharmacy is not usually lacks the broader fundamental knowledge of the subjects, necessary for a good teacher.
There seems to be more than a college course required to fit a man to best teach modern pharmacy. The man with a good schooling and a reasonable amount of retail drug store experience is the one who will be able to problems the students is seeking to solve. A large per cent of the pharmacy students, in many of our schools, have had retail experience. Students of Pharmacy must not only be trained to properly compound drugs used in medicine but must know something about successful business methods and management.
It is evident that the qualifications for the teacher of pharmacy are quite different from the teachers of many other subjects. To satisfy the university requirement, if a university teacher is required to remain at the standard. At the same time the subject matter presented must be the kind demanded by the student who wants to know pharmacy as it will enable him to get better returns in actual practice. The student such a technical skill presents a problem different from the one who takes the general courses of the university for their educational value. It is not an easy task to convince the student, so commercially inclined, that there is a chance for the student to acquire a high professional way. Such service may be rendered in the analytical and testing laboratories, which may be easily established in any drug store. There is
urge amount of such work that meets in the realm of pharmacy, as well as in the realm of health training received in any of the recognized schools of pharmacy, offers to the graduates of such schools, quite good opportunities in both commercial and professional endeavors. The team at Pharmacy must be able to ing an overcrowded profession; the field of the research laboratory is enlarging; and the big problem of bettering conditions for the retail pharmacist demands the best efforts of every staff member. The trend of pharmaceutical education and research, there is great encouragement for the man well trained in Pharmacy.
a large amount of such work that falls within the realm of pharmacy.

USE GOOD SHOP TALK
In Newspapers, Window Cards —People Buy From Shops They Know About
Clever shop talk is one of the best methods of advertising for a drug store. This type of advertising can be used in both newspapers and for window cards. The drug store has an advantage in the advertising field in that it has advertising of particular value for every season of the year.
The shop that creates the greatest confidence will win most of the prescription business. Confidence in this department of the store will never be created by merely announcing that, "Weill prescriptions." In print this a systematic recommendation should be made to will make a store mind out and be the first to come into the mind of the people when there are prescriptions to be filled. This department of the store can be featured by giving various reasons for its being worthy of confidence. In these little shop talks there should be conglomeration but a important point should be driven home each time. The following are some examples of how to feature such a department of a store:
When sickness comes your prescriptions must often be filled with dispatch. We fill your orders quickly, but at the same time we put into our work professional knowledge and skill. We do all in our power to help the doctor. For sudden sickness you need quick efficient service."
Some other time the fact can be emphasized that substitutes are never used. Then take the public back to your prescription counter thus: "Two skilled pharmacists focus their attention on every prescription that we get. One compounds while the other checks off the ingredients. This double check protects and makes sure that the slightest error does not occur. It costs nothing extra, for we charge no more than do others."
There are many things in a drug store of a seasonable nature that can be advertised from time to time as the year passes. This style of advertising can be used to particular advantage in window displays and cards. Starting off with such phrases as these they will attract attention:
"Why be troubled with sun burn?"
"Refresh yourself at our fountain."
"Vacation?" Don't forget to take a bit of remedies."
WOMEN SCRIBES VISIT
Then again aside from the seasonable wares there are many staple products whose sales could be boosted by consistent mention. There are various bottle brands that can hold staple remedies. For instance, take "Rubber! No, not slang, but the real article. There is a great deal of difference in rubber products.
Notables in World of Journalism Come for T. S. P. Initiation
"Freckle season is here."
"Why let the gripe get you?"
"That cough can be stopped."
"Our chest protectors will protect."
"Chained hands are unnecessary."
Theta Sigma Phi, honorary journalism sorority, held its annual banquet Thursday night at the home of Caroline Greer. Initiation, preceding the banquet, was he d at the Alpha Chi Omega house, Milde Eppard, Margaret McElvaine, Lafayette Farms and Marion Lewis. The honorary members initiated were Mrs. Margaret Mill McCarter, well known novel writer; Mrs. Lee Riley, alias Wood B. Highbrow of the Kansas City Star; Miss Fay King, cartoonist of the Kaiser Post; Miss theodore of the Kaiser Post; Miss Laura French, managing editor of the Emporia Gazette; Mrs. Nan Willin Sperry, well known factory inspector of Missouri and a writer on industrial questions; Miss Hann Mitchell, the telltell of Lady Baby" of Kansai City Star; Miss Laura Wood, a graduate student of the University; Mrs. J. W. Evans, wife of Professor Evans of the department of journalism.

FAY KING EMPHASIZES EMOTION
MINIATURE KANSANS FOR MENU
The decorations of the banquet were carried out in violet and green, the sorority colors. Brights of the letters were each place, and the shaded candles were in the form of miniature editions of the Daily Kansan. Between courses the honorary members responded to toasts in the form of assignments from the managing editor Lucie Hildinger. Mrs. Margaret Carter. The themes of her stories "In most cases a particular bit of setting impressed itself on my mind, and then I discovered incidents and characters which fitted into my setting. My plot merely worked its own way out. As to how I found my essay, we won't tell them from life or incidents from the lives of real people. The newspaper is rich with suggestions for the story writer."
WOMEN JOURNALISTS TAKE
Miss Laura French and her sister occur in the lives of the newspaper folk, which usually amounts to the dramatic situations gleaned from the lives of others. Mrs. Lee Riley explained how Mrs. Wood B. Highbrow came to be evolved. Ms. Sue also she writes the "sob stuff" which gets Christmas pennies for the "Raggedy Stocking Club". Mrs. Nan Willison Sperry told her work among the factory girls and how she came to write a series of the newspaper major stories Mitchell related tales of her work in the Pulitzer School of Journalism.
FAY KING EMPIHASIZES EMOTION
Miss Fay King dwell upon the necessity of sympathy and interest in the every day things of the world, she said, "neither the short story writer nor the newspaper writer can hope to succeed. People are interested only in the things that they themselves could experience. The same emotions exist in the heart and soul of a coal-mill that exist in the heart of a millionaire. People own overlooked things that happen and can happen to all of us are the things that interest the world."
Besides the members initiated there were present: Lucile Hildinger, Virgil Gordon, Maureen McKernan, Zetha Hammer Helen Rhoda Hoopes, Caroline Gollomb Collee Simons, Simons, KathleenMcCoubrie, Mrs. Merl' Thore, Mrs. Greer, Mrs. Hoopes, and MissMargaret Lynn.
Dean and Mrs. Harold L. Butter entertained the Congregational church chair, of which the Dean is director, at their home at 1015 Tennessee Saturday evenings after practice. Refreshments were served.

HELPS CLAY INDUSTRY Laboratory Examines Products and Makes Investigations
Most everyone will ask what the clay industry has to do with the Pharmacy Department. The clay industry to the Pharmacy department is what it is to the whole University. In the laboratories of the University there is practice in crafting an incandescent like a thousand dollars a year in apparatus for the making of which a clay is necessary.
The University has a very intimate connection with the problem of supplies which have for their basic material, clay. During the last few years the University has established a laboratory to investigate the production of Kansas. This laboratory is constantly engaged in making analyses and collecting statistics with regard to the quality of Kansas clays tending toward the production of just such material as is consumed in chemical and pharmaceutical laboratories. Another duty of the laboratory is to describe how capital to utilize their products in the parts of the state where clay abounds.
If the clays can be found they can be used in the direction indicated, will interest capital, bring a return to the state in the form of advantages to the University and all the industries that use these clay products. Brick is not the only product which can be made from clays for in-ground use as porcelain ware, and vase materials. It can be said that Kansas ranked seventeenth in the order of clay production in the United States.
DECREASE IN KANSAS PRODUCTION
According to the last Geological Survey of the United States, the production of clay products in Kansas for the year 1913 was valued at $1,919,910. This shows a decrease in value of 573 per cent from 1912 to 1913, compared with the product of Kansas, closely followed by common brick. The difference in value of these products for 1913 being only $2,188. Front brick, sewer pipe, fireproofing and tile bricks, produced by the active firms in operation in the state.
Montgomery, Wilson and Crawford are the most important brick producing counties. In 1913 they produced $8.91 per cent of the total profit; Montgomery also the leading clay-working county, its products being valued at $64,413, or more than one-fourth of the state's total.
The beds of Hoisington clays porcelain industry in Kansas, are a which were expected to open up a false alarm, according to the men of the company Hall. It was thought when the Hoisington beds were first located, that a fine porcelain clay had been discovered. Though this clay will make a very beautiful and durable finished product it can never be used for porcelain.
"Clay, as you know," explained Paul Teeter of the clay laboratory, "is composed of decomposed marble, and lies where it forms. The Kankakei clay is also found between Dakota limestone. For some reason, all the clay beds so far located, are too sticky and elastic to make good porcelain clays. We have tried many experiments, but even when we were not using them when made into a vessel much larger than a stein. We can bake this clay, however, in solid blocks into a very beautiful brick for interior finishing, that shows excellent lasting quality. It is a white ename with well which is making it very popular with builders.
The Great Bend beds have a very good deposit, and show signs of producing the best burning brick in the state. It shows every sign, accord- ing to the original corkery. Corkery made from Heisington beds, warps in the burning.
Most of the Western Kansas clays are good for common building brick. The Pawnee beds give the most durable brick in the state and are fairly extensive. It is the most dependable of the Western clays. The beds at Elsworth are white clay that burns a deep red. The beds at Elisworth are fairly good, and make a good building brick, and one that is good for paving.
There are many other beds of clays in the Western part of the state, but most of them are only medicine, and are not worth opening. The beds at Hoskington, Great Bend, Pawnee and Ellsworth are the ones that are really of any lasting value.
The water analysis and milk analysis in connection with te state board of health is one means utilized by the University to give the whole people the benefit of its laboratory equipment.
Sixteen of the University buildings, are used for purposes of instruction, remaining two being the building plant and the Chancellor's residence.
The tuberculosis exhibit sent out through te state by the University in connection with the state board of health had an incalculable influence in stimulating intelligent measures to stamp out this disease.
In the modern movement among universities towards rendering direct services to the state, the University of Texas has done so, having began such work in 1866.
The testing of Kansas brick, cement, and concrete is a part of the daily work of the engineering testing systems maintained for service to the state.
The University faculty has 210 members, but the number of students to each teacher is larger than in almost any other university.
More than six thousand students
be graduated from the University
of Kansas.
WATCH FOR FRAUDS!
State Drug Laboratory at K. U Uncovers Many Glaring Dacentions
Deceptions
"To maintain the dignity of the drug business by keeping out all fraud," says L. E. Sayre, Dean of the School of Pharmacy at the University is the object of the State Drug Laboratory at Kansas.
"We only handle those samples sent in to us by the inspectors from all over the state and then report on them." The State Board of Health at Toncka.
In 1906 the federal government passed an act, making it necessary, for its perfect execution, for the establishment of state drug laboratories to test and analyze drugs. In the same year the Kansas legislature passed an act requiring that each state such a laboratory at Lawrence. No appropriation was provided however and it was not until the 1907 session that the act was made effective by the necessary funds to finance the affair. Section four of chapter 266 of the Act required that the establishment of a state drug laboratory at the University of Kansas be under the supervision of the Dean of the School of Pharmacy, the work of which shall be the testing and analyzing of all drugs and food accessories such as spices, coffee and finned oil is also included in the list.
Since its establishment, the laboratory, situated in the northwest corner of the basement of the Chemery building, has been the age of 1000 samples each year. These samples come from all parts of Kansas. Pure food and drug inspectors gather them in all places where医械 is for sale and send them to Lawrence.
They are tested and the results are sent to the State Board of Health office at Topeca. If the case demands prosecution the Topeca office sends a statement of the case to the county attorney of the county from which the sample originally came and he proceeds to prosecute.
The orchard pests of Kansas must reckon with one powerful enemy in planning a campaign against the orchards of Kansas farmers—that enemy is the entomological department. The disease that afflicts the state is constantly under the inspection and supervision of University entomologists.
Many glaring frauds have been uncovered by the laboratory. One of the most noted of these was the case of Dr. Samuel's Eye Preparation. This preparation was advertised to cure all ailments of the eye, as well as other skin conditions like kidney trouble, diabetes and many others numbering in all about twenty, by merely applying it to the eye ball with a dropper. The concern was forced out of business after an analysis by the State Drug Laboratory had the preparation to consist of nothing more than water, salt and sugar.
The University believes in putting Kansas stone on Kansas roads and maintains a testing laboratory to assist in road work.
Proprietary medicines, patent medicines, coffees, teas, and spices have been tested by the laboratory. Some deficiencies have been found in these preparations. Samples of witch hazel, tea, coffee, orange juice, absolute alcohol, have been tested that showed only 7 per cent of that drug. Bay rum which should contain 56-58 per cent alcohol has been found to run as low as 30 per cent and one sample of hydrogen peroxide, which should contain $ \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2} $ , contained only 0.11 per cent.
There are eighteen University buildings, thirteen of which were erected by the state and five by private gifts.
The staff of the Drug Analysis department is L. E. Sayre, director; L. D. Havenhill, chief; G. N. Watson, analyst; C. M. Sterling, microscopist.
Much has been saved to the people of Kansas through the University's work in the inspection of weights and measures.
All but three of the Kansas counties are represented in the student body of the school.
ADVERTISED PRODUCTS LEAD IN DISTRIBUTION
Advertised drugs and toilet articles lead in distribution and sales says a recent issue of Judicious Advertising, commenting on Today's Magazine's drugstrict advertising statistics. Today's Magazine lists 10,000 people fifty in each of twenty states, doing business in towns of less than 5,000 population and rated at $5,000 or over, and sent them a letter asking them to answer certain questions and check a long list of trade-marked products. They included more than 11 from any state indicated the leaders in the various drugsist lines were the products most widely advertised.
FAVOR WOMEN DEBATERS Dean Templin And Others Wouldn't Draw Sex Line in Forensic Activity
Dean Olin Templin believes that women can and should compete on equal terms with men in intercollegiate debating. Since the recent receipt of an invitation from Kansas to take up the matter of a women's team for inter-collegiate debating, the Kanans has sought to get expressions of opinion on the matter from several differen- tious sources, and presents them herewild.
When Dean Templin was asked to express his views on women as possible debaters, his eyes twinkled. "I remember," he said with a chuckle, "how, when I was a student here, Lina beat me to a braid in one of the debate batches. I never took a hand in. The teams in that day were strictly co-educational. There was no question about women going "out of their sphere," and all that—though there were times when the men debaters would have been very glad to have had them out of the audience. Miss Gano came right at commencement; and like a good many other young men, I was inclined, after that, to be conservative on the "woman's sphere" cant, I had my reasons—Miss Gano made me plenty of trouble; and now she making the same product up in New York by writing a fuss about making a fuss about the equal treatment of men and women in the city schools.
WOULD GIVE NEEDED TRAINING
"Why draw the sex line in debating when we have abandoned it in the case of other university activities? I don't like to see the women take the attitude that they must be pushed off into a corner by themselves. The institution makes it easy for nationalization. Of course," he continued, "the present condition of things is a result of the disposition men have always shown; and I understand, too, that the women may feel some diffidence about joining a club composed of both men and women, but there isn't any necessity for it; and if women are to become political actors in the world and one which I expect I shall live to see—why, debating gives them just the training they need.
"You know, if I were in the place of these girls who are interested in debating, the next time the men's basketball game up and knock on the door and say, 'We want in' and then I'd proceed to give them some much needed training. Of course, I know it hurts a man to be beaten by a woman; for example, wouldn't let me in, I'd tell them that it was just because they're afraid to. No, there isn't any reason why the women, as well as the men, shouldn't debate and I don't see why they need have a separate organization to do it."
Chancellor Strong expressed himself in favor of an organization for the women. "There can be no objection to it," he said, "and if women are to take a part in political life, you should not do so. You selfes consistently and readily in debate. I think a debating club for the women would be a good thing."
THE CHANCELLOR AGREES
"There should be such an organization," said Prof. H. Hill of the department of Public Speaking. "Two women," he continued, "have suggested to me that we ought to have a club; and we have recently had a meeting in our university of Oklahoma proposing an inter-collegiate debate for the women. Last year, we had a similar proposal from K. S. A. C."
Dean Blackman approved the plan for an organization of the women. "I think it may be good," he said, "but make it a student activity or a class we have at home. Make it inter-class, if you like, but keep it at home."

Pharmacists do Not Have to Become Tradesmen Observes Professor
C. F. Nelson, Associate Professor of Physiological Chemistry,
The modern pharmacist, especially in America, is today too much of the tradesman. Not that this makes any vital difference to him in his place in business, but that it means measure, becoming professionalized and the old lines of demarcation between business, professions and trades are rapidly disappearing. But from the nature of the materials he handles he must be able to transition to medicine and the public health, the pharmacist should progressively abandon the sale of all commodities that do not directly relate themselves to drugs and chemi-
Granting that the pharmacist is willing to do this, we might ask—Are there any possibilities for his medical care? Is he chemical and how is he to realize them?
The answers, in a word, are clearly there. There are tremendous possibilities, latent now because there is the presence of a pharmacist along these lines, and they may be realized by the establishment of small chemical and bacteriological laboratories in connection with the average retail drug store.
MANY OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED
The time is coming, and soon, when each municipal will elect its own chemist and bacteriologist. The pharmacist is already on the ground, has his store, stock of chemicals, and technical training, especially if he has taken the three or four year course in pharmacy, and why should he not be not this position? The physician is continually needing to have his diagnosis checked and confirmed by chemical and bacteriological means. Does the swab contain diphenyl bacilli that they may infect bacilli in this sputum? Is this sample of blood positive or negative for typhoid fever? Hundreds of similar questions, which a pharmacist with a small laboratory and a large company as great as the average physician daily exercises, could answer.

Again, manufacturers will have their boiler water, coal, and raw products of all sorts subjected to high pressure so there once in one's community do it. The milkman, the ice cream manufacturer, the grocer and butcher will find it profitable to have certain of their products checked chemically, or algorithmically, or even macist can do, and profitably too. Examples might be multiplied indefinitely. The young man that leaves college should be alive to these possibilities and, rather than being content to travel the old road into the countryside him, set out along the modern highway with its larger possibilities.

CAFFEINE NOT POISONOUS
Roasting Makes Coffee And Other Cereal-like Products Injurious
That alkaloid caffeine, two grains of which are contained in each cup of coffee, is not the poisonous substance which produces biliosiness, nervousness and oftentimes headaches, is the conclusion of Prof. L. E. Sayre, Dean of the School of Pharmacy at the University.
For the past eight years, experiments have been carried on in the pharmaceutical laboratory to discover just what it is in the beverage which produces deiterous results. While caffeine is a nerve stimulant and produces certain effects on the nervous system, it is certain that if you are consistently drinking coffee which oftentimes affects the physical condition of the body to such an extent that the drink has to be left alone.
"The prevailing opinion as regards the effects of caffeine is wrong," said Dean Sayre today. "The really poisonous substances in coffee result from roasting it with the bitter, pleasing taste and odor. They are volatile products of the same origin as phenol, or carboic acid, (known as phenolic products) and, in the case of a person breathing the vapor from coffee during the roasting with the bitter, overcome the poison—an effect like that produced by carbon-monoxide is likely to result."
POISON NOT INHERENT
Coffee is a cereal-like product and since the poison results from roasting, they will also be present in coffee substitutes, which are made from cereals'. The experiments carried on by Dean Sayre and his assistants show that the poison is not inherent in the grain of the food,—it does not pre-exist but results from the chemical change brought about by high temperature. The investigators suspect that there are nervously injurious juices in coffee substitutes as in the genuine article, that coffee treated in the "vacuum process" containing the minimum amount.
Experiments have also shown that tea, tea, chocolate and other beverages contain more caffeine, or coffee like bodies, than does coffee, but that they do not produce harmful effects to such a degree as does the more popular drink. A glass of Coca Coca contains about the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee, but the poisonous substances which are more injurious to the system are not present in the former.
CONTAINS 0.957 PER CENT KAFFEOL
"There has been a tendency to blame coffee of body and mind," continued Professor Sayre. "Coffee is not a food, but a food-accessory, and such alliments as liver trouble of all kinds, rheumatism, neuralgia and biliosis are not always the result of drinking the morning beverage the before the beverage was taken as easily resulted from too much and badly-prepared food of any sort. Coffee contains only 0.0557 per cent of Kaffeol, the organic principle containing the poison, but the fact that it is of phenolic origin is sufficient to these with which heart trouble and others who feel the effect of the drink to leave it alone.
"Experiments seem to show that the most wholesome coffee decoction is, contrary to popular opinion, a liquid with less alcohol in the vessel, thus vaporizing those deleterious products, rather than confining them in the process of boiling in tight vessels, which tends to take away the liquid to be taken into the body."
BY-PRODUCT A VALUABLE FOOD
BY PRODUCT A VALIDABLE FOOD
One of the important achievements recently made in this lab is the determination of an apparatus, by the use of which the volatile principles of coffee can be separated quantitatively, the determination being made by using small lots of the powdered roasted bean Hitherto, the German Marmelade has secured these products only by operating on very large quantities at a time, twenty-five pounds or more of the product being necessary to carry on the experiment. The apparatus designed by Dean Sayre will recover thevolatile principles quantitatively from a few ounces.
Another important result of the investigation is the discovery that one of the by-products of roasted coffee, the chaff, has been found to contain a significant amount that is be suitable for food for cattle. By actual experiment on a small herd, this by-product has been found valuable in making a mixed food on which the animal feeds, thus the animal results in a superior quality of milk. Horses also crave the mixed food and thrive well on it.

Where the School of Pharmacy and the Chemistry Departments are Located
All Pharmics Must Take Practical Commercial Course—Druggists Lecture
Under the old time method of teaching pharmacy it was only necessary for the student to get the rudiments of the differentia of the many drugs and to be able to mix the ingredients to a proper degree. This kind of a pharmacy graduate cannot go far in the druggist field because of the E. Sayre. The modern day student must be able to cope with the modern day stringent competition.
In the School of Pharmacy the faculty has instituted a commercial course for the seventy-two students and will bring experienced commercial druglists to the University during the school year to lecture.
"It is a tendency," said the Dean of the School in speaking of the newly instituted commercial branch, "over the United States where, in spite of where graduates have to go into commercial lines, to give the students some business basis. Competition is so keen and cooperation so necessary today that the student must be schooled in the ways in which to deal successfully with the situation."
Dean Sayre opened the course on November 4 with a lecture of his own on the "Psychology of the Market." Speakers included, already been to talk to the pharmacists are: Judge Bland of Kansas City; Henry Faxon of Kansas City; B. A. Parsons, head of the Park, Davis & Co., drug house of Kansas City; Helen Lawrence, and other prominent business men of the state to follow.

Pharmaceutical Society Gets Positions for Graduates— Every Student Belongs
It was in 1885, shortly after Dean Sayre came from Philadelphia to establish the new school, that the Pharmaceutical Society opened its eye on the need for a new medicine and inhaled a few cubic inches of ether and other pungent vapors. Anatomically it consisted of a few students, fewer professors, and several ideals. The latter were called idealists. The latter were Assistance to the School, Promotion of the Sciences, and the Securing of positions for Graduates.
When a student becomes obsessed with the ambition to belong to a professional society, he or she should enroll in the School of Pharmacy. Because, ipso facto, that student is then a member of the Pharmaceutical Society of Indiana, Kansas, and him is not an organization with thirty years of history.
Most of these ideals live even today, but the securing of jobs has in a way come to dominate the organization. However, the Society has been a benefit to the school for it was through its early efforts that the school! library was founded and the first books acquired.
At times the Society has sadly lacked vitality, during the past two or three years because of the absorption of time in class held at the school and not been in a healthy condition; but this year it has revived and is a real factor in the life of the school. It holds a meeting every two weeks at which time some rather noted faculty members meet and the faculty gives a lecture. But when a faculty man leads a discussion in a meeting of the society, he is on equal footing
with the students and is liable to any criticism or ruling that any student would be.
The society is really an affiliated organization of the school and through it arrangements are made for outside interests such as do not pertain to class room or laboratory work. Usually it entertains once or twice a year, and this fall the older students were given to a smoker. Of course, the three young women could not attend, but the others of the sixty-odd did.
The Pharmaceutical Society is officered this year by President, E. B. Cook, Vice-President Bernard W. Kampert, Jr., Secretary, Marie Beeson, and Treasurer D. V. Crosly. An executive committee which assists the officers is made up by Benjamin P. Bixby, Winfred Grammon, William R. Davis, D. V. Crosly and Louis N. Thorpe.
NEW PHARMACOPOEIA
Dean Sayre Explains Pharmac
ist Dictionary—Ninth Edition
Almost Ready
The Pharmacopoeia is a work that is an authoritative guide to the physician and pharmacist regarding crude drugs, their preparations, and a standard for inorganic and organic medicinal chemicals. It is also a standard of biological knowledge and the identification, the identity and the standard of appropriate titles, definitions, working formulae and tests. It is revised every ten years.
The new Pharmacopoeia now on the press will be the ninth edition of the book. It has grown to a legal recognition by the States government and is now considered as one of the best of the world. The ninth edition will appear about the first of the year 1916, but it will not become official until dated date, perhaps two or three months after the work is obtainable.
The Food and Drug Act of 1906 may possibly require a special act of Congress to have a legal authority. It is well known that this act made the eighth revision legal and, in order to form it, may require another act to be enacted for revision, although the act of 1906 implies that the latest revision shall be the legal standard. The Pharmacopoea always has been a legal standard in the various courts of the country—is as much of a legal standard as any of the government-made pharmacopeia of the Old World.

Foods and Drugs Suspected of Adulteration Sent to University for Analysis
The School of Pharmacy is not only doing state work, but is also closely affiliated with the national government in its work of running down violators of the Pure Food and Drug Act.
Under the state law of Kansas L. E. Sayre, Dean of the Pharmacy School, is director of the drug laboratory for the analysis of druglike food accessories such as spices, coffee, ten, etc. G. N. Watson is chief analyst, C. M. Sterling, microscopist. It is customary for the federal laboratories at Washington to notify the authorities of Kansas or violations reported from other states through medical. The Pharmacy School notifies the national headquarters concerning cases occurring within the state, so that the interstate and intrastate laws will be fully covered.
Doctor S. J. Crumbine, who is chief Inspector of Foods and Drugs with offices in Topeka, has control of the inspectors who make tours of the state for the purpose of finding suspicious cases of adulteration. The material collected is sent to Lawrence to be analized.
Such reports of violations as the "Sal-Fero-Sa", a drug remedy, are frequently sent out from Washington. In this case the drug was delivered to the most wonderful nerve and blood ever discovered. It was guaranteed to cure pleagra, lost appetite, and many other alliments. The Washington department reported the drug as being misbranded, false, misleadened, and deceitful. Dean Suyer has received over sixty such reports since June.

Plain Tales from the Hill
Well, the news is out. Coach Occoni is going to become a benedict. Saturday afternoon the former Yale gridiron star modestly admitted that he was leaving Lawrences for a marriage to Miss Evelyn Dutton Fogg of Portland, Maine, will take place the evening of December 22. The ceremony will be performed at the home of E. H. Van Dyke, the owner of the New York Stock Exchange.
THE COACH WILL MARRY
The bridal trip will consist of a tour of the New England states and Canada, ending up in Lawrence about January 5th. The Olcott will be "at home" after February 1, 1916, at 1704 Kentucky street.
Lawrence musical circles will receive quite an addition in Mrs. Olcott for the bride is a former pupil of Madame Milka Terina, and has quite a reputation in the east as a concert singer. Her voice is a high contralto.
In addition to many of the former Yale football stars who will attend the wedding there will be one person of importance in the literary world in Kate Douglass Wiggin, an intimate friend of the bride.
A BELGIAN CHRISTMAS It was Christmas Eve.
From the cracked window pane Jack Frost shook his chapped fists at the bent and crippled figure of a man, who crouched upon the hearth before a dying fire. He was constructing a firebox with a hole of cigar box; and near the fire lay a corn-cob doll, bedecked in a crisp husk dress.
Presently the man finished his work; and he placed the two strange designs together, where the light would fall on them best; and began talking to the impassive doll—The fire flickered feebly, and the walls of the house seemed darkened—The man raised his head and listened. Then he rose, drew his coat tighter to his thin form, and passed into an outer room.
An nour passed—He returned; and now he seemed gaunter and more broken; and felt his way across the room like one half blind, and crouched again before the fire, whose flame now flickered and died, flickered and died
He stared at it. Then his-hand went slowly to the doll, and he thrust it into the flames. The chair moved closer. He held out his hands to the warmth, hold out his hands to the warmth.
"She'll not need make-believe toys this Christmas," he said to the doll,
An hour later the frost crackled again. The sound angered the man, for the lights had all gone out and he was—alone.

YEARLINGS MIX TONIGHT
Freshmen Arrange Big Mixer to Get Acquainted —Interesting Program
The one big object of tonight's freshman mixer to be held at Ecke's Hall, will be that of allowing the men of the class to become better acquainted. This is the plan of the mixer committee member Martin. The other plan is on hand will have a chance to know and talk with at least fifty other men. The method which Chairman Martin has employed for the carrying out of this scheme is that of giving to every man a printed program with space enough on it for the names and titles of fifty men. Martin will also be a good soonvenir for "K" books.
In the way of entertainment the freshman committee has provided an interesting program. Two members of the faculty, Prof. B. Foster and Prof. H. T. Hill, of the department of public speaking, have consented to talk. A "rube sturt," in which string music will be a play on instruments, and plans for a glue club number have been made. Two features which are expected to prove strong drawing cards are a two round boxing contest between players with a banjo number which made a big hit at the recent Engineers' smoker.
In addition to these numbers Chair Martin Martin says he has a "surprise which will be worth the price of admission in itself." Just what this surprise is, however, will depend on his committee members who are in on the secret say it will be "good stuff."
Tickets in the forms of tags for the smoker are being offered in the freshman classes and on the campus today for twenty-five cents each.
Freshmen who do not purchase tickets from members of the class today will be allowed to buy them at the door tonight.
The committee expects to have about three hundred men at the mixer.
The whole evening will be passed in an informal way and the men will have ample time for moving around and becoming acquainted.
MANY WOULD DEBATE
Nebraska Defeat Didn't Damper Local Demosthenes'
NUMBER 65.
Ardor
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 14, 1915.
"The fact that Nebraska administered a defeat in debate as well as in football is not tending to dampen the enthusiasm for the coming debates with Missouri, Colorado, and Oklahoma," said Prof. H. T. Hill this morning. "Nearly twenty students have already declared their intentions of trying out for places on the squab, but many still do not come in at the last moment we expect to have about fifty speak before the trot judge tomorrow afternoon."
About sixteen contestants will be picked for the second try-out which will take place after the Christmas holidays. The judges for the try-out tomorrow will be the faculty members of the Debate Association, Dr. Gary Dykstra, MacMurray and Hill.
At the second tryout, the members of the old intercollegiate debating teams and the newly chosen members of the first tryout tomorrow will conference with their first teams. Five or six men will be chosen for the debate with Missouri, which will be held here this year, and a squad of nine men will be picked for the triangular debates. Every man who makes one of these squads and works all of the time with the teams in the competition will sit in the public speaking department.
The tryout will be held tomorrow afternoon at 3:20 in the lecture room in Green Hall. All those who intend to tryout will hand their names and contact information which they are going to speak to Professor Hill some time before the debate.
The date for the Missouri debate which was set for the first Friday in March will probably have to be changed on account of the Junior Prom, to the following Friday. The senior debate with Colorado and Oklahoma will be held on the following Friday. The question for the Missouri debate is: "Resolved: that intercollegiate athletes should be abolished." The question for the debate with Oklahoma and Colorado is: Resolved: that the American teams应到 the Pine Islands." There will be no restrictions placed on which side of either question those who tryout shall talk.
J. A. Bellows, a publisher of college reference books of Chicago, attended the monthly convocation services last week. Mr. Bellows is visiting many of the principal universities and in speaking of the beauties of Kansas said that the K. U. campus was equal to that of either Cornell or Wisconsin.

When asked about the reports of women not returning their word in record to dates during the week she said: "No instances of disobedience have been brought to my notice recently. I suppose there are a few thoughtless ones now and then but the Student body is not doing so because nature are not frequent. There has been a commendable improvement over last semester. This year the women are living up to their agreement much better than formerly." The students feel that the punishment for violation keeps the women from disobeying the rules."

The annual Christmas concert, to be given in Fraser Hall tonight at 8:30 by the School of Fine Arts, will be presented in a program, according to Prof. C., S. Kiltiln.
Solos will be fewer than in previous concertes, and more ensemble music will characterize the evening's program.
The stringed quartet, under the supervision of Prof. Arthur Nevin, will perhaps be the real feature of the evening. Professor Nevin has spent a lot of time instructing this quartet and it is worthy of a creditable concert alone.
Many unique combinations will be arranged. One number is to be rendered by the organ and harp, which is an unusual combination. 'A duet by two violins will add - noveity to the program.
"These annual concerts, make it possible for all students to hear the best talent in the University free of charge," said Professor Skilton. "Much time and effort is expended in these programs and all students, on well as not only should come out tonight and in addition to making this concert a decided success, get in tune with the Christmas spirit which is all around us."
REGISTRAR'S OFFICE
BEING REMODELED
A night 'class in the study of Shakespeare directed by Prof. C. G. Dunlap will be organized at the city library and will give an overview of the direction of the University Extension Division. Two hours' university credit will be given for the completion of the course and the enrolment will consist principally of teachers.
The Extension Division is now conducting two night classes down town, Prof. A. L. Owen, of the department of romance languages is instructing a class of twenty in Spanish.
As soon as workmen finish the necessary changes in the inner office of the registrar the wants of the students will be attended to, unable to attend and will be viewed through the two new windows in the south office. Students will be enabled to transact their business without filling in in the little 'office' which now serves as postoffice and general information window.
The manufacture of gas mantles is illustrated in specimens received by Professor E. H. S. Bailey last week. A knitted cotton bag, much larger than the finished product is fastened to the clay or metal base, dipped in a solution of thorium or dry powder, and burnt leaving only the oxide on the cotton. The mantle is then dipped in paraffin and is complete. This exhibition is on the third floor of the Chemistry building.
"At fee paying time," said Registrar G. O. Foster this morning, "the students will: be able to form a line and file past the window without the confusion that has always prevailed heretofore. Hereafter students have no occasion to enter the office or attend the presentation so moral matters as everything can be attended to through the two windows from the main hallway."
TO ORGANIZE NIGHT
SKAKEPARE CLASS
The honor system at the University of Oregon has been dropped by the student council because of the Oregon showing no desire for the system.
CLASS FINAL TOMORROW
Seniors and Juniors Wil Settle Football Championship Good Game
The last game of the interclass football tournament, which was to be played this afternoon on McCook field, has been postponed by Head Coach Olivia O'Neill of the Saturday visitors will be played tomorrow at 3 o'clock. The sophomore and senior teams, under the leadership of Coaches Heath and Holt respectively, are ready for the combat and each will win when the victory will rest with them, when the dust or snow clears away.
If the sophomores continue their plunging tactics at the fourth year line as they did against the tyros Saturday it will be some hot contest. Both teams have strong lines and speedy backfields and on this account the breaks of the game will go a long way towards making the winner. The sophomores on paper look as if the team are "beefy" and if they can be worn down Heath's men should have an easy time.
The Minnesota shift, which was worked by the sophomores so much in the game Saturday, will be discarded when the team loses. The year men have up their sleeves. It is the prediction of those who have seen them execute it that it is a better ground-gainer than the old play used in the day of Coach Mosee. What team would have been not known nor will they give an insisting that they have any.
Committees Will Consider Closing
Hours and Dances
PLAN NEW SOCIAL BODY
Hours and Dances
To create a better understanding between the students and faculty, is the purpose of the new plan of social control which is the formation of two committees composed of the president of every organization on the Hill. The committees will consist of students and everything which goes to make up the social life of the student body.
Mrs. Eustace Brown will be chairman of the two committees and Professor Patterson chairman of the men's committee. The first meeting will be he'd after Christmas, the members being notified by cards sent out by Mrs. Brown during the holidays.
Mrs. Brown this morning said, "I have not passed a single rule limiting the students. I have merely carried out the rules made by the Senate, the Student Council and the W. S. G. A."
DYKES NEW PRESIDENT
OF K. U. DRAMATIC CLUB
John Dykes was elected president of the K. U. Dramatic Club at the regular monthly meeting of the society Thursday night in Green Hall. Dykes succeeds "Pat" Crowell, who has withdrawn from school.
In addition to e'ecting a new president, the members of the society staged two sketches—"A Message from Mars," featuring James Butin and Emma Larkrick, and a sketch by himself handled the shining part.
A number of new and rather stringent rules were adopted to compel members to attend the meetings, expulsion from the club being designated as the penalty for non-attendance.
November Was Abnormal
The month of November was a most unusual one, according to the weather bureau at the Kansas State Agricultural College. The month was the third warmest in the history of the bureau, average temperature readings being 6.1 degrees above normal. Rainfall was .41 below normal and there was a minimum of 3.7 degrees during the month was 85 degrees and the lowest 18. The record high temperature for November is 96 degrees, for November 2, 1869, and the lowest point reached by the needle, was 9 degrees below zero, on November 27, 1887.
Schwegler Lectures Postponed
Schwegler Lectures Postponed
Owing to sickness, Prof. Kaymond
Schwegler was unable to deliver the
address to the Y. M. C. A. which was
the result of a medical emergency.
Emmester Professor Schwegler will
probably give a series of lectures
which will be open to all; the students
and town people.
Still No Directories
"No word from the State printer yet," said Registrar Geo. O. Foster this morning when asked concerning the student directories. "He hasn't had any to have no intimation whatever as to when we may expect the directories."
ATHLETICS ARE A GOOD THING, SAY DEBATORS
That inter-collegiate athletics should not be abolished was the decision of the K. U. Debating Society last night. The debaters were: afar the left, James Murphy; and J. Murphy; negatives, J. Harris, E. Plank and N. Ireland.
The subject announced for next week's debate is: "Resolved, that the State Department should be limited to a single term of six years". The affirmatives are H. Happen, A. Papenburg and B. Wattles, W. Chapin, W. D. Fatties and C. Free.
F. S. Mason, W. G. Rogers and A T. Foster to membership in the Society
VERMONT DECLARES WAR:
NO!
The idea of an International Supreme Court to settle all international difficulties, as outlined by Hamilton Holt yesterday, is the最恳 proposition offered as a substitute for war. That it is not an ephemeral, idealistic plan is proved in the fact that it is the accepted form of government for the hamlets, towns, cities, states and territories of the different nations of the world. If a Supreme Court is established between cities and states why would it not be as successful in international arbitration?
This morning the state of Vermont sued the state of New Hampshire in the United States Supreme Court for arbitrary territory claimed by both states.
Now what if Vermont, instead of appealing to the Supreme Court, should have mobilized her militia on behalf of the state, to her sister state, then plunged over the line into New Hampshire's mobilized state militia? "Tommyrot," everybody says, "states are not so willing to have a superior court to appeal to."
Then why, in the name of reason,
should two nations plunge into war;
why did not Austria bring Serbia to
account; why indeed should we have
had the war at all if the nations of
the war had shown half the acumen in
the war; how did we show in international organization?
Our international relations, and laws
are relics of the Dark Ages, when
might, not reason, was legal justice.
And when Hamilton Holt said "Before we have International Courts we must purge ourselves of hatred of other races," he was talking no idle news about Wenatchee, news from Wenatchee, Washington, that 200 men mobbed two Japanese men, and drove them to the city after wrecking their laundry. It is lit things like this in case straints out international relations, defeat international legal progress.
CHEM STUDENTS DRIVEN
OUT INTO COLD WORLD
Fumes of phosphorus trichloride drove everyone in the Chemistry building out of doors Thursday afternoon when a bottle of the compound was spilled in Pro B. Dairins first floor room, the foggy vapor was so thick that nothing short of a bombardment by Zeppelins occurred to the minds of the students and professors as they scrambled for fresh air, according to Professor Cady who took up residence with a tight shutting door. The gas rose to the storeroom which is directly above Dr. Dain's laboratory, and George King, the storekeeper, took the dumb waiter for the quickest way out. The fumes were not difficult to management subsided. No one was injured beyond a temporary irritation of the mucous membrane.
Women Can Get W. A. A. Cards
Tickets for membership to the Women's Athletic Association may now be obtained in the office of Dr. Goetz. Aside from the pledge of loyalty, a commitment to membership there are no fees for membership. Each member is expected to attend all the monthly meetings and to push all activities of the organization, although she need not take an active part in athletics. "Many women have already taken out membership," said Goetz, "and we expect to start up with two hundred strong."
Prof. R. M. Ogden will attend a meeting of the American Psychology Association to be held in Chicago during the holidays. Professor Ogden is the secretary of the association, and one of the speakers to speak upon the relation of Psychology and Philosophy to Science.
Professors Carl Becker and H. A. Millis will go to Washington, D. C., the latter part of this year to attend a symposium on the formation of University Professors to be held there December 31 and January 1. Prof. C. G. Dunlap will go to Cleveland, Ohio, during vacation and may go from there on to Washington.
MANY HAVE LA GRIPPE Epidemic Spreads Rapidly Among Students—Physicians Give Advice
"The present epidemic of la gripe is one of the most severe that I have ever experienced," said a member of the University Health Service this morning. The student hospital has been taxed to its utmost resources this past week in caring for the victims. He was on the campus or la gripe is no impact for its contagiousness. Probably no other disease spreads so rapidly and affects so many people. Four great pandemics (wide spread infections) occurred in this country in the nineteenth century, 1830-32, 1836-37, 1847-48, 1899-90. The first to be infected were mail clerks. This fact has been well documented. The virus was brought here. The duration of epidemics as are a rule six to eight weeks.
LIKE A SMOUDERING FLAME
"The disease is caused by a small bacillus that differs from the name after its discoverer. Once a pandemic occurs and the bacilli remains permanently, the disease can be compared to a smouldering flame—apparently extinguished, but conspicuous in appearance. It is this that causes our epidemics. The germs are continually spread by carriers and are found even in the mouths of healthy individuals. We do not know just what it is that causes the disease or break or flare out at infrequent intervals and in different localities."
"Various types of the disease are described depending upon the organs respiration, nervous gastrointestinal, intestinal nausea, vomiting and even jaundice; febrile, in which there may be remittance or a continued fever like typhoid.
"Generally the disease symptoms are as follows: catarrh, bronchitis, fever, pains in joints, and profound prostration.
MAY LEAVE COMPLICATIONS
"While the disease is not serious as far as death is concerned—mortality less severe than it is in some very serious complications. In fact one who has had the disease never knows what is going to happen. "All students who have contracted this disease are cautioned to exercise the greatest care in their convalescence. No disease, perhaps, leaves one so weak in so short a time. Care must be taken and exercise, either physical or mental. We recommend that students take a good rest for at least one week after the symptoms are over. Rest, good diet, even a change of activity are desirable. Remember that a depression in spirit and in mind are apt to follow this disease. Be careful not to infect by careless expectation, or distribution of soiled articles of clothing.
NO SPECIFIC CURE
"To those who have the disease as must isolation as possible is recommended. There is no specific cure for the l grippe. All that can be done is to treat the various symptoms as they progress and, if necessary, sustenance, much water, active elimination on the part of the organs of excretion are all that can be done.
"Treatment consists for the most part in prevention. To those who have not contracted the disease and have been informed that prevention is contract it the following rules should be followed out: avoid all public gatherings; use own towel and all toilet articles and keep these from contact with other similar articles; avoid using tissues at least twice every day with antiseptic solution; atomize nasal cavities; avoid all contact with those who have the disease or are convalescing. As a final warning, those who have had the disease have a powerful tool to communicate the disease to others folks whom they expect to visit during the holidays."
Rehearse "Spanish Gypsies"
Rehearse "Spanish Gypsies"
The first rehearsal for the operetta "Spanish Gypsies" will take place Wednesday evening, at the 15th. Over thirty voices have been selected for the Women's Glee Club to take part in the operetta. Prof. H. B. Downing, who has charge of the program, said today that the operetta would be given some time early in the spring. A small admittance fee will be charged. Student tickets will admit.
A night class in the class in the Prof. A. C. Terrill, of the mining department, will tell the Chemical Club Wednesday afternoon many interesting facts about the famous Comatock lode and all about the results of his year of study of the ores at the mine. He investigated the mine itself and also spent a year studying the ores under the microscope.
Stella Stubbs, '16 College, who underwent an operation two weeks ago, is much improved and will be able to attend classes after the holidays.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate internship at the University, so we go further than merely printing, the news by standing up and speaking. We play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be chaotic; to be careful; to have more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to serve the students' security the University.
TUESDAY. DECEMBER 14, 1915.
"Blessed is he, who has found his
work; let him ask no other bless-
ing."
WHERE WILL WE COAST?
It froze the other morning; possibly you noticed it and shivered if you were up early enough. And maybe you thought about the snow that is coming and about the good times that you are going to have when coasting season comes. But—did you think about where you are going to coast? Do you know that there isn't a place in the city limits where you can legally slide down hill on a sled.
It's the same old problem and apparently the University authorities are going to let the first snow fall before they do anything about it. The question was agitated all last winter and the students were assured that something would be done. It hasn't, and probably we will break the city law again this year and coast on Adams or Indiana street until one of us gets killed and then we'll wonder why the University authorities didn't find us a place for coasting on the golf links.
And why don't they?
ANOTHER "NEW ONE"
"Municipal Ownership of Telephones" is the subject of an editorial in the recent issue of "Kansas Municipalities," the official organ of the League of Kansas Municipalities. The short article mentions "the unresupicious, corrupting and debasing influence" of the telephone trust and ventures to prophesy that the people of Kansas will—maintaining their reputation for leadership—take the initial step in the "desired direction."
One of the first mentions made of the proposed plan was in the report by K. D. Burgess, of Larned, chairman of public ownership committee of the league. "The public, is gradually awakening to the situation," he says, "and it will not be long until municipal telephones will be taken as a matter of course assemble municipal light plants now. We are watching with interest the attempt of some Kansas city along this line. The town that takes the initial step will win no mean distinction and will reflect credit on all Kansas municipalities."
THE COLLEGE COURSE
Tradition is responsible for our attending school but nine months out of the year. How about the wisdom of it?
With the Summer Session extended to ten weeks, it is now possible for students to do in three summers a full year of college work. As soon as the demand justifies it, courses sufficiently varied will be offered in the Summer Session to enable a student to complete in three years and three summers exactly the same curriculum which he can now complete in four nine months' terms. Why not save that year?
To most young people it is a long
pull before they are able to enter into their life's work. The shortening of that pull by a year will be of great advantage to a large number. And why not? Surely we do not need the summer months to rest. No school career is wisely spent which draws heavily enough upon physical strength to make necessary the summer months for recuperation. We believe that students should gain in strength and vigor throughout each year of their college course. If you do, then the summer school would be as profitable as any other session of the year. Think over while at home this vacation time. Then talk to the folks about it.
HOW INCONSISTENT
Thousands a day are dying from hunger or wounds or general hardships in the immense world war; and we are becoming so accustomed to the news that we skip over a lot of it with a mere shake of the head. Lives that are passing out have little interest for us these days, but we read with pleasure of the birth of a little child, a fourth son to the Empress Sadoko of Japan. Removed from the noise of the machine guns a little almond-edy baby began its life in the flowery kingdom, and a whole world stopped in its way the fraction of a second to read the news.
A LEND-A-HAND COURSE?
Why not a lend-a-hand course in every University? The idea suggested by J. D. Hoffman in The North American Student for November has possibilities. It makes no difference what the course is called. Perhaps the faculty would favor the title "The Development of the Sociabilities," or "Deference and Courtesy." Whatever the name, the spirit would be the same, and have for its foundation plain, simple, human kindness.
Chief among the prerequisites would be honesty, simplicity, courtesy, sincerity, sympathy, cheerfulness, and enthusiasm.
Of course the value of the course would be derived primarily from laboratory work on the campus.
BASHFUL P. Gs?
The Graduate Club is having a hard time to get together this year. Little interest seems to be taken in it. Only fifteen have signed up for the club, and many of these do not go to the meetings.
What is the trouble? Don't our graduate students feel at home here? Haven't they become "acclimated" yet? They should feel as personal an interest in K, U, as do the undergraduates. The University was built just as much for them as for anyone. Perhaps they are bashful. Who knows?
A PUZZLE POEM

I told her I was very rich and that my heart was her's;
heart was nef's;
give them everything on earth
did give them money to flee
I came. I saw. She conquered
She promised to elope with me! I'd best have show on tv.

Pad'd be asleep—I'd flash a light first once and then again.
He grabbed a gun and blew apart the steering shaft and fan.

She opened blinds and window sash
—ah, everything was fine.
That eve came on and just at ten h gave the promised sign;
We skipped to where I'd left the car
—Pa. heard us as we跑.
—Tiger.
He bellowed out to come straight back—(he was as mad as hops)
She told me we had best obey "No aim's more sure than Pop's."
This is the time of year when a student begins to hunt up his worst prof, and tell him how much he has on courses. He will have courses he will have next semester.

CAMPUS OPINION
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
The University of Kansas should not be a home of knockers, but it seems that the good shirt K. U. is rapidly turned toward trouble waters and that the knockers have water using the Daily Kansan as a means to express their dissatisfaction.
An honest confession is good for the soul, but who would think of asking the Registrar for a loan to take a date down town?
-Charles Alexander Richmond.
I refer to the insinuations that have been made as to the policy which the editors of the 1916 Jayhawkier are going to follow. In the communication column we have had pleas to keep the Jayhawkier free from politics and from personal influences, so it would seem that some of the knockers have found out just what is going to be in the paper already, and the copy hasn't been written, the pictures haven't been taken, the rough plan for the book hasn't been made, but the knockers are confident that there is going to be dirty work and they are howling in advance.
If there is no use crying over split milk, there is certainly no use crying before the milk is spit. Possibly it will not be.
Above all else remember that it is better to pawn your frat pin than a real frat pin.
Honesty
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
At the beginning of the term a solicitor for the University Daily Kansan came to me and attempted to sell me a subscription. I turned him down and more than that I turned him down hard. The reason I gave him was that the Kansan was not a representative of the student body, that it was ensured by the professors and for that reason I did not want it.
I feel that in the past, at least since I have been on the Hill, that this criticism holds true but recently the policy of the paper has changed. The Kansan told Missouri what it thought of her action regarding the glee club trip and in so doing expressed the sentiment of the paper's body and Tuesday night I picked up a copy of the paper at the club that bore an editorial on the revision of the dance rule that was a "dandy".
I want to commend the paper on its stand and take this opportunity to hope that the Kansan from now on will get some backbone and take definite stands on issues of interest to university students.

The answers to the questions, asked by the College Alumnae Association of the freshmen women, are helping to make statistics which will either be a step toward establishing a College Alumnae Bureau here or prove that there is no need of such a Bureau in the University." The freshmen women are asked by the Association, through the aid of women advisors, whether or not they have time to prepare themselves to follow some other vocation. One of the questions asked is, "what do you expect to do after you get through college?"
"The final object of such an Association," said Miss Alice Winston, head of the Association here, "is to fit those women who do not want to teach for some other vocation and to direct their college work to that end. At present there are bureaus of this town in Chicago, Boston and New York. There is no other country the country is nearly an established fact. The first step has been taken but there is a big gap between what has already been done and the final purpose of the Association. It would move towards establishing such an institute here. The bureaus in the east are self-supporting, but it would take time before one could be conducted here on such a footing. It is impossible for students living in the west to make use of even the nearest one, which is not available. It also disadvantages of the bureau must report in person before some official."
BUREAU WORKER COMING
Miss Cummins of the New York Bureau will speak here possibly on January 1, on the various openings for new staff. Miss Cummins will be the only speaker this winter who will talk about specialized vocations for women who have a University education.

Mr. Frank Speight, of London, who was the guest of the University Club, gave an informal talk last night at the Club, before all the members. The members of the University enjoyed the three selections Mr. Dickens' "Dickens' Pickwick Panels," and Poe's "Bells." With the rendition of these selections, Mr. Speight wove in his philosophy of life—that no one should miss a crime; the reason for the wrong-doing being ignorance on the part of the person concerned.

Frank: Spraight, "the man who makes Dickens live," portrayed vividly the misery Sergeo and the Cratchit family in his dramatic reading, "A Christmas Carol," in Fraser炉 at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon before an audience of University students and grade school children. The chapel was crowded to its limit and people stood along the walls.
Mr. Speight is from London and came here under the management of the Pond. Lyceum Purune of New York City. He is a typical Englishman and was raised in the Dickens country.
He is making his second tour of America and has already appeared in New York, Washington, D. C., Boston and other large cities.
5,800 RECEIVE DEGREES
Three Thousand University of Kansas Graduates Remain In State
began in 1873, when the University began to confer degrees, approximately fifty eight hundred students have received degrees. Of this number, almost two thousand still living within the State. The percentage remaining here is not as large as that found in some States, yet this shows that Kansas is deriving considerable benefit from the minds her University has produced.
About two thirds of the alumni are men. Of these, more are engaged in the practice of law and engineering than in any other profession. Twenty percent of women graduates the largest number have taken up educational work.
In the year 1873 those receiving degrees were four in number. In recent years, an average of four graduates each year have been annually. About five hundred University of Kansas graduates have located in the State of Missouri. Next to Missouri, Oklahoma and California have the largest number of Kansasans.
NOMEN PROFS. EXERCISE
Class of Thirty Works in Gym Under Miss Gladys Elliot
The women of the faculty, the wives of the professors, and the employees of the University have been having a good time of their own every Monday night since the beginning of school under the direction of Miss Gladys Elliot, an assistant in the physical training department.
The class has had an average attendance of thirty members and contains the names of forty-five women on its roll. From 7:30 until 8:30 Miss Elliot leads these women through the various phases of the regiment. From 8:30 until 9 they may dance, swim, or play basketball, as they like.
The last meeting of this semester was held Monday night in the gym. The first meeting of the new semester will be held on Monday, January 8, at the Athletic Building in the College will assist Miss Elliot in the *Swimming* work from now on.
"I think the women have enjoyed the work very much," said Miss Elliot. "Of course we would like to have a much larger membership next semester, and we would be glad to have the women visit the class and see what we are doing. Although the women who have different from the work we had last semester it is not so difficult or so different but that the people who come into the class now will enjoy the work just as much as the others."
the debating try-outs tomorrow afternoon, will begin at 2:50 instead of 3:00.

TEN DAYS TO BASKETBALI
Short Time Before Season Opens—Hamilton Has High Hopes
With only 'n actual days of school between now and the opening of the 1916 basketball season with Ames January 6, it is a Herculesian day in getting the Jaawkerhawk basketkeepers ready. It is practically a green squad that the boss of the K. U. indoor-sport will have to depend upon to uphold the reputation of the Crimson and Blue the coming sea-
Of last year's squad of twelve men, only three, "Slats" Cole, "Dutch" Apple and "Speed" Heath, are available. Both Cole and Appel will probably land permanent berths on the 1916 five for "Slats" is the leading candidate for the position, but Apple is the likely one to be chosen captain of the team when the election is held after the holidays.
Several of Coach Olcott's football warriors, not satisfied with serving their alma mater on the gridiron, have answered the call of Coach Olcott by taking to nightly practice. Heath is, of course, out after a regular guard position but is being given a hot battle by "Humpty" Wilson, and "Bonnie" Reber, who seek to repress the K. U. quintet on the defense.
At forward, K. U. sport followers may be prepared to memorize three new names for the athletic hall of fame, for none of the trio who seem likely to lie to the offensive births have laid down their sports, Gibbens, Kauder, and Kennedy are that men loom up as particularly promising.
As far as actually playing the game, Coach Hamilton declares that he has little to fear in his new squad. One night last week just to see what kind of a scoring machine he is, Coach Hamilton recruits against last year's vetera five of Sproull, Sorensen, Weaver, with several other stars of former years thrown in, but the newcomers refused to be dazzled and literally wiped up the earth with the former luminaries of Kansas basketball with display this ability to keep its head when battling a Missouri Valley foe remains to be seen. But Coach Hamilton has hopes.
Men You Know—and Don't
There is a man on our Hill who is so modest that after twenty-six years of work for the University and state, he has he done nothing worthy of note.
This man has spoken more times throughout the state than any man on the Hill; he knows more about prisons than any man in Kansas; he has made better cities for Kansas and other states that he has worked with his prison reform work; and, finally, as a teacher he has made and will continue to make better citizens—for he is the sympathetic guide, not the taskmaster of his students.
“O wad some Power the giftygie gie as.”
Dean Blackmar thinks he has done what worth it, not the note, but we know he didn't.
"O wad some Power the giffie gie us,
To see ours selves as itthers see us!"
Springfield Academy gave him his early education; the Penn, State Normal had the honor of graduating him. At the age of 19 he went to California, where he earned three years in Fresno county and made $1,000,00 college money; he earned it, too. Dante's Inferno is a seaside summer resort compared with Fresno. He went to those days would show up very well with the Hoosier Schoolmaster.
IN THE DAYS OF YOUTH
The Dean was born way back in Erie county, but he used to lake Eric for a swimmin' hole. Even at that early age he started exploring unknown big waters, and he has been exploring ever since, for you know, he is a sociologist—one of those most curious people you are, or why you aren't something else, and all the rest of it. His constant query to humanity is, "I didn't ast my is you ain't, I ast you hain't you is, is you?" And humanity always reacts to the cold, and that's why he's a famous man.
His first school district was fifty miles square; his schoolhouse was a shack; there were three holes, two served as windows, the other as a door. The Dean suppressed his propensity for fine feathers, and wore overalls and jumper to school, just to show the natives he wasn't stuck up. When it rained he wore gum boots. In vacations he rode for cattle with the cowboys, partly for fun and partly for money. He wanted to go to college.
WORE NOBBY CLOTHES
at his Alma Mater, in 1882. In 1884 he received his A. M. He taught mathematics for two more years before he dropped it forever; because, as he says, he was not yet ready to be fossilized and put in a museum.
How the regents had the rare good fortune to secure this historical, economic, political science, mathematical, sociological record of names he calls himself—will forever remain a mystery. But he came, and here he is now and ever has been since. He established the chair of sociology in the United States.
The year 1889 was an eventful one for him; for it was then that he tucked a Ph. D. from John Hopkins under his arm and came to Kansas.
With his $1000 he betook himself to the University of the Pacific, then leading university in mathematics from there in 1881, and became Professor of Mathematics
COMES TO K. U.
The Dean is a kindhearted man, therefore everyone wants him to do everything; and he does it imperturbably. He was the first graduate School in 1896; and graduates have rejoiced ever since. They elected him president of the Kansas Conference of Charity and Care, and he started his campaign for social reform.
HAS MANY HONORS
Besides the work done in the Kansas Historical Society, the American Economics As'sn', the American Geographical Society, the American Anthropological Society, and the National Conference of Charities,—he is an active member of them all.—he has found time to write some eleven books, dealing with subjects that range from Spanish Colonial Charles Appreciative Studies to Charles Robinson, the present State Governor of Kansas, and many valuable results of respectful sociological research. Many of these respectable feats, he regards as mere chips from his workshop. It is a mighty interesting workshop.
An intellectual enthusiast is seldom a follower of athletics, but as has been said the Dean is an unusual man. He plays golf twice a week, but not on Sundays; he is a teacher at a Sunday school class. His friends say he is just the right man on any trip. He can squat for hours on his heels, waiting for a certain Mr. Fish to bite; he never grabs the best trout hole; and he never tell the coach how to fish. He has good grooming, and honesty; these are the bed rock of the man's character and attainments. They easily account for him.
GRAD SCHOOL GROWING
Number of Degrees Granted Increases From Six to Sixty-nine
The Graduate School is growing more important every year, according to Dean Blackman. In 1896 when the school was organized, six advanced degrees were granted; five advanced degrees to sixty-nine. Prior to 1896 the Master's degree was granted on three years of reading outlined by the instructors. Two Master's degrees were granted as early as 1874. The environment in which he lived is 236, compared with forty-three in 1896, showing an increase of about 450 per cent. Work is now offered in thirty-two different departments, while in 1896 there were only 20 from which to choose. Eight different advanced degrees are offered.
FEW Ph. D. DEGREES GRANTED
FREW PH. D. BECKER
"The new doctor of Doctor of Philosophy was given by the University of Kansas up to the present time," said Dean Blackmar, "owing to the tendency of instructors to send candidates for the Doctor's degree to the larger schools. However, we have several candidates at present for the Doctor's degree, and the prospect for the development of a high class of work is promising." H. P. Cady of the department and C. E. McClune former head of the zoology department, took their Doctor's degree at this institution.
GRADUATE SCHOOL IS EQUIPPED The Graduate School of today is better equipped with libraries and laboratories for study and research work than ever before. In 1860 only twenty-four professors were giving graduate instruction; today the graduate faculty numbers eighty-five.
In 1900, to advance the cause of higher education, five University fellowships of $200 each were awarded to students of superior ability and intellect. These fellowships have increased in number and amount until now 17 University fellowships of $280 each were授予, normally. In addition to these, eleven fellowships are granted each year to graduates of Kansas colleges.
STUDENTS WAKING UP
STUDENTS WAKING
Students are coming to realize more and more the importance of the Master's degree, and this realization brings with it an increased enrollment. Many of the instructors on the Hill are enrolled in the Graduate Program. The students of their time in working toward the Master's or Doctor's degree.
The value of the Graduate School to the State of Kansas is set forth in the Second Annual Report of the State Board of Administration to the Governor, from which the following extracts are taken:
Send the Daily Kansan Home
"This school is very valuable in its work to the people of Kansas. . . . The young men and women in this graduate school are devoting their time and energy to the solution of problems that are of vital interest among students. During the fuller life, they are able to work out for the people, and in their work along practical lines, many times the cost of the maintenance of this school. . . . The discoveries made by these advanced students are a constant incentive to the progress of students in new untrained fields and to utilize waste material and make more efficient the labors of her citizens."
In speaking of the future of the Graduate School, Dean Blackmark says that there is a large field for women who work in Kansas is the educational center. Since no other college in the state wishes to do graduate work, it would seem wise for the State of Kansas to support its vision for this work in the University.

A STIRDAY'S CHRISTMAS
The bed on the wash-stand or oil pumped and smoked through the long hours of the night.
It was Christmas morning, about three-thirty. In the bed tossed a returned student, returned home for the Christmas holidays. He was thinking of the gifts he had brought to the home folks and how much they were being enjoyed.
There was Mabel, who couldn't wait until Christmas morning for her gift; she had spent most of the time in her own room since. As for Billy, his life was limited by heath; he had a gift but bought from Lawrence had taken up much more time than any sled. As an extra gift for father, he had presented him with a half-dozen handkerchiefs. They had been quite useful to him already. Mary, he had over to help her. She thought too much of her to treat her that way.
The student heard the step of his mother on the stairs. She carried a fresh lemon. She coughed slightly on entering the room. He hadn't meant to bring her the same gift. She, too, had the gripe.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 15. 1915
Seeing the Chancellor stand shivering in front of the bulletin board shouting to passing students Monday morning at eight e圆 clock, Emily Zwick and Pauline MacCatherine from the Registrar's office became alarmed, and fearing that the Chancellor had suffered some mental collapse, they rushed straight down the aisle, causing a case of his strange behavior. Dr. Strong had merely taken this means of announcing Hamilton Holt's lecture to be given at that hour in Fraser Chapel The hall was crowded.
Fraser Hall has presented itself with a Christmas present. Now he has the for many accolades have been given to him by Registra's office in the north hall of Fraser.
Cecil DeRoin, '16 College, was here Saturday and Sunday on his way to White Cloud, Kansas. DeRoin was operated on for appendicitis a few days before Thanksgiving vacation at the southwest Hospital in Kansas City. He hopes to reenter school next semester.
The Lawrence Street Railway Company is erecting a retaining wall on their dill in just back of the Chemung Station. It is to prevent the loose earth from slipping down hill in wet weather. Last spring the company dumped soil at the bottom of the embankment but the earth continued to slide.
Hamilton Holt, when he saw Coach Olcott Monday, seized his hand and said: "I have a bit of unrecorded history to tell you. When you played on the Yale team against Harvard there was a woman watching that game who all the time was praying that you would get hurt and be forced out so that her son could go in your place. You were hurt and
taken out and that woman's son pleasured in his stead. He was my mother."
Olccott smiled and said he remembered quite distinctly that Holt's brother was put in the game after he was hurt.
Mr. Roel was again surprised when he lunched at the University Club by meeting Prof. Arthur Mitchell of the department of philosophy, who was a member of the same Yale graduating class,
Lena Baldwin returned to her home at Elmira, New York. Monday after spending Saturday and Sunday at the Alpha Xi Delta house. Miss Baldwin was favorably impressed with the work of Mr. Goldstein; here there is not such marked distinction between upper and lower classmen as there is in the east.
A psychologist would probably say that the impulse to "Do Your Christmas Shopping Early" would record high with the average student after looking over the variety of Japanese oddities that the Y. W. C. A. girls have on sale in the hallway of Fraser, Among them one might find bright red lounging slippers of the Japanese identity, a coat bag performed with the fragrances of the Orient, or hand painted desk sets done in pastel shades serving as backgrounds for deep blues and grays of Japanese prints.
The gifts were sent to K. U. by a Wisconsin Japanese student who is earning his way through the American college by importing the curiosities of Japan. The University Y. M. C. A. receives a new cent of the profits from the sales.

The contest closes on January 10, and it is the opinion of Prof. Arthur MacMurray that the three weeks prior to that time will be strengthened, and the two are not written, but rewritten," said Professor MacMurray this morning, "and I imagine that every student who intends to turn in a play on the morning of January 10 will have his hands full during the holidays. For not only must the play be written down one day before and again until there is unity in every part, connection and climax between every scene, and that absolute coherence that makes a play 'get over' when presented by actors."
"I sincerely hope that the prize winning play will be such that the senators can present it at commencement time," was the desire expressed by Don Burnett, manager of the senator contest this morning. "We want a live, snappy comedy of college life—and surely there is no one better fitted to write about such affairs than collegiate students themselves. But the play will have to be producable, as well as a faithful portrayal of life, if we are going to have a successful mean that it must have dramatic, as well as realistic, elements."
The Drama Prize Competition is being conducted by the University Dramatic Club. A prize of fifty dollars is to be awarded the student author of the best play submitted to the Club's committee; the winning play will be presented by the seniors at commencement as the Senior Play of 1916. The manuscript will be published, and copies sold at the performance.
Those who wish to acquire a knowledge of elementary Spanish but who are too busy to attend regular classes will be given instruction by Prof. A. L. Owen in Room 7 of the Manual Training building at seven-thirty each evening. Two meetings have already been the class will not be continued until after January 4. During which time enrollment will be permitted.
This is the first time in the history of the University that such a competition has been conducted. It is planned to continue it from year to year, and to offer larger prizes each year.
The regular meeting of the Mechanical Engineers will be held tomorrow evening at 7:30 o'clock at the home of Prof. A. H. Slusso, 1122 Ohio street, Professor Slusso will talk on "Governors."

Union Plans Holiday Activity and Spread of System for Mill Tax
COUNTY CLUBS ORGANIZE
Answering finally to the second call for a general conference, officers and delegates from the various organized county clubs of the University met last night in Fraser Hall and perfected an organization for the year.
Since the central organization has not yet organized nor outlined any definite course of action to be pursued, they must find a way to light the night was important, since it was the last opportunity for the separate clubs to confer concerning the banquets and other entertainments which there them have planned for the holidays.
The delegates at once proceeded with the organization and elected the following officers: Willard Glasco, president; Boots Gear, vice-president; Blondie Jones, secretary; and Chester Ovey, treasurer.  The name Cenlowy, Carey was changed to County Club Union. A general discussion followed, and this resolution was passed: "Resolved: That each organized county club giving a banquet or holding any similar meeting at home during the holidays, shall, if possible, elect one or more officers from the alumni to attend; students officers carrying out the various undertakings of the club."
The Union plans to place itself in such a position this year to be a real working power in securing the passage of the mill tax when it again comes before the legislature next year; it is to this end that it desires to allow its members to summit all over the state. An effort will also be made to start the county club movement at K. S, A. C. and the Pittsburgh Normal.

The annual Christmas concert was given last night by the students of the music department of the School of Fine Arts in Fraser Hall.
The program this year was shorter than usual and more varied. The numbers were well balanced and seemed to meet with equal favor. Illness presented Miss Clara Scheuer from taking part in the program so a vocal selection was given by Chas. Sturtiveau.
"Meditation from Thais," an instrumental number with the harp, violin and organ was a new feature of the program and was especially pleasing. Marie Nusz played the violin in this selection, Dorothy Bell the harp, and Philip Stevens the organ.
"Necturno," the organ selection played by Mary Jarvis, was also well resilient.

CAN'T COAST ON STREETS Mayor Likes Sport Himself But Public Has Its Privileges
ivineg
Coasting is an ideal sport for university students, and is not harmful so long as it does not interfere with water flow. Coating is the opinion of Mayor Francisco.
The Mayor, commenting on the feasibility of letting students of the University of Kansas coast down Adams and Indiana streets during the winter, declared that it is not in accordance with the city laws and that it should not be countenanced by Lawrence citizens. He said:
CAN'T CLOSE SKYLINE...
rulen as students engage in coasting down Adams and Indiana streets, the consequences will inevitably be fatal, for it is impossible to close these streets. There are always a trail of traffic through Lawrence who would not know about the new rulings, and, therefore, would be greatly inconvenienced. And, on the other hand," he went on. "home people pay taxes upon which to travel, as well as accommodate visitors.
LIKES COASTING HIMSELF "I am heartily in favor of the students having some place to coast, for coasting is good, clean sport and all kinds of fun. If the hill leading to the south, or the hill leading to the south, just west of the heating plant, could be put in shape for coasting, I should think it would be advisable for the university board to get busy"
Mayor Francisco said that the public could feel assured that both he and the chief of police favored the south slope.
$45 FOR BEST ESSAY
Bryan Prize is Offered for Paper on "The Cost of Preparedness"
A prize of $45 is offered to the student of the University writing the best essay on "The Cost of Prepared煤: A Study in Prepared煤 made today by Prof. F. H. Hodder, chairman of the College committee having the matter in hand. The essays must be between 3,000 and 10,000 words." A handshake in not later than May 1, 1916.
The money comes from the Bryan prize essay fund of $250, given to the University in 1898, the interest of the prize fund for institutions every other year. Because the interest has not been sufficiently large, no prize has been offered for three years. The accumulated interest, about $45, is now offered as a prize.
"I hope that a large number of students will avail themselves of an opportunity to do some real work in this project," he said. "I wonder her morning in discussing the competition. "The subject is a live one, and is interesting because of its relevance to modern affairs. Competition ought to be our focus, and I confidently expect to see it so."
Sigma Xi To Convene
"The recent Advances in Astrophysics" is the subject of the paper to be read by Prof. M. E. Rice before the Sigma Xi, honorary scientific fraternity, at its monthly meeting tomorrow at 8 P.

A man's reach 'should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?'—Robert Browning.
STUDENTS AT HOME
Sometimes a student goes home for a little vacation and has considerable trouble keeping on his hat. Chest expansion, enlarged head and an important strut are often his means of letting the people know he is attending college. This is the way the Peoria Journal deals with the subject;
"Not that we object to the money,
kids; we're glad to see you get along."
"Whenever we see one of the young college boys coming back to town and looking chesty, we think of the donations from the wealthy and the taxes from the poor that keep his college running.
"But if you'd stop to consider once in a while that you're really a beneficiary of private and state charity, maybe you wouldn't feel quite so chesy.
We are all going back to the old home in a few days. Let's make the folks back there proud of the fact that they are giving something for our education. Let's let our lungs perform their normal function and give our brains a chance on the main track.
chestiness "Chestiness is a flank movement by the lungs to make up for a lack of brains. Persons with plenty of gray matter are never chesty. They don't have to be."
IT IS NEEDED BADLY
The University of Kansas has no cafeteria, "a fact often regretted by hungry "studes" who would like to have a bite between classes. Often breakfast is an impossibility, owing to a tardy awakening. A hurried lunch on the hill would be a boon to many students who find themselves too busy to go down to their accustomed places for meals.
Many who now eat at the boarding clubs, and at restaurants, would prefer eating food prepared by the home economics department of the University.
Other schools have caterias. Kansas students going to Missouri for a football game, found that the best place in town to eat was at the University Cafeteria. Students attending the Aggie game at Manhattan, found that the best place in town for a meal was at the college cafeteria.
Such a plan, worked out under the auspices of the home economy determination, to get all he can next semester? Has he glimpsed the wonderful possibilities that are ahead? Does it all point to something?
ONE SEMESTER
The first semester is nearing its close, and from the standpoint of the first year student, what has been accomplished? Has every assignment been fully covered? Perhaps not. Every quiz creditably passed? Perhaps not. The necessity of making a negative answer may be disheartening, but these are not the big considerations.
Has this first year student developed an enthusiasm, backed with determination, to get all he can next semester? Has he glimpsed the wonderful possibilities that are ahead? Does it all point to something?
The canvass of freshmen women being made by their advisers to determine the vices they wish to follow after graduation is a valuable prompting to self-analysis.
WILL KANSAS SHIRK?
Military training in colleges and universities is the subject of much literature and talk among intelligent men and women all over the country today. The movement to have courses in colleges and universities which will prepare the graduate to enter the army in case of emergency with some idea of military tactics has met with rebuff and rebuff, especially in the Western universities. Why is this?
The idea is not to make soldiers of our students. There is no thought to prepare them for a military career. But it is a matter of serious consideration whether it is not wise to prepare them for service in case of emergency. In our colleges, generally, the students are taught to regard the privileges of an education as creating certain extraordinary responsibilities on their part to make their lives serveable, directly or indirectly, to the nation.
Since this spirit does prevail over the country, and the college man is the first to enlist in time of war, is it not also his duty to his country, and the duty of those in whose charge he is, to make some kind of preparation for his appearance on the battlefield?
If war should actually occur and there should be a call for volunteers, many thousands would rally to the colors with admirable spirit and enthusiasm; nevertheless, they would be untrained, undisciplined and totally ignorant of military theory and practice.
Only two possible avenues are open to those who wish to see their country able to defend its honor and repel possible invasion. One of these is, the establishment of a large standing army at enormous expense for the diffusion throughout the country of a military spirit. Do we want that? No. What is needed is not military display, but military strength; not an arrogant militarism, but one that is ready for an emergency call; not a visible army, but an available one.
If the other alternative were chosen and military training was offered in every college and university in the country, the standing army would not be increased, but would tend to be diminished. The actual strength on the parade ground would be decreased while the potential strength in the growing knowledge of military affairs would be increased. The day of universal peace is not at hand. And until that glorious "someday" comes, it is well to be prepared for the "today" that exists.
And why should not Kansas join with the more progressive schools that are offering their students courses in military training? Did not the boys from the Sunflower State help preserve the Union at the time of secession? Was it not the Twentieth Kansas that made such a phenomenal showing in the Philippines? And should Kansas fail to be in the front rank of this nationwide movement of preparedness?
Military Training I should be offered next year and both Military Training I and II given the following fall. One hour's credit might be given for each of the courses, the former open to and required of freshmen and the latter open to, but not required of homohrones and upper-classmen. In that way, Kansas would take a little step in advance. A summer camp could be held for six or eight weeks under the supervision of an army officer, whom the government would surely be glad to send, and the pleasures of camp life would be intermixed with a training for defense.
The educated man should be able to offer something more than a willing spirit. He should have the knowledge as well as the disposition to serve his country, and serve her well. Courage will not compensate for ignorance.

to the Editor of the Daily Kansas City. Those who attended the football coach Oleicott's suggestion, that the student body of the University find a plan whereby a group of students could look after the scholastic standing of the football men. It is a thing that some students would like to be student board, chosen by the students or organizations, is given the work of keeping track of the grades of every man on the football squad. When a man begins to drop in a subject the board knows it and proceeds to find a player and tell him how he stands and then one or two men on the board who are acquainted with the particular course that is causing the trouble go to work and tutor the player until they have a good chance not take a great deal of anyone's time and it relieves the coaching staff of a lot of worry. With a board of say twenty-five men it would be possible to have representatives of every team in the squad to tutor meticulously every subject given on the Hill. I would like to see the Kansan get back of this scheme and push it. Arrange some manner of selecting this board so that next year all the coaching staff and other students of the football player out of the men who turn out without having to worry about losing any othem through ineligibility.

What's the matter with the Gyn showers on the men's side of the building? Nobody seems to know or care that there are only three showers that work in any degree satisfactorily. Admitting that the Lawrence city water will cut the lining out of anything, I still claim that we should have a fifty per cent efficiency. Not only do the showers fail but we haven't never worked any better in the three years that I have attended the University.

Intercollegiate debating is growing steadily in the colleges of the United States, there being but one college of prominence in the country that does not carry on some form of forensic contest. There are 500 institutions with four debates each year, and this means approximately 1,000 debating teams of three men each. Not fewer than 25,000 college students represent their colleges every year in debate.
One in 1,000 of these debaters is a young woman. The universities of Oregon and Washington hold an annual debate in which only women take part. At the University of Oregon, they host every competition, and in a year not long ago the aspirants for debating honors reached 153. -McGill Daily.
PEACE CONTEST OPENS
National Competition in Oratory Will Attract Many Speakers
A contest will be held shortly after the Christmas holidays for those who wish to represent the University in the State Peace Oratorical Contest.
The department of public speaking desires to arouse interest in this form of public address, as the Peace Contest is a national feature. Twelve leading schools and colleges of Kansas compete for the honor of representing the state in the Interstate Peace Competition. Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Kentucky, Arkansas and enter also. The winner of this contest then competes with the victors of six other interstate contests which together cover the entire country.
Prizes are offered at every step of the way, but the chief incentive among most universities and universities is the school. Each individual and the school he represents. He competes against men from the Universities of Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, Chicago, Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio, Princeton, Princeton, Yale and Harvard.
Professor Hill said this morning: "We wish to interest the students of the University in this line of public speaking work for their own benefit, and we would like them to help they can bring the University by participating with the representatives of the other leading universities and coleges of the country. I hope that the members of the debating societies on the Hill will respond to our effort and to provide advice to speakers as they have in other schools. The speeches for this contest should be not more than sixteen minutes long and should deal with some phase of the peace problem. I urge anyone who feels inclined to enter this contest to join us. We will accept or myself, as we will be glad to do anything in our power to aid them."

TALKS TO BIG SISTERS
Mrs. Katherine Eddy of Kansas City Defines Their Responsibilities
Mrs. Katherine Willard Eddy of Kansas City, Kansas, spoke to the Big Sisters at Myers Hall Monday afternoon of their many opportunities.
Mrs. Eddy defined the responsibility of a Big Sister, illustrating her definition by citing the care of a child who is lost and then the freedom from responsibility when they come to the University. Being a Big Sister gives them the same opportunity again. "It is the Big Sister we need," she said, "its since there is a chance for character development," said Mrs. Eddy. Mrs. Eddy then touched on the fourfold requirements of being a Big Sister, intellectual, mental, social and the spiritual.
Continuing she said that health was one of the strongest requirements, since very little can be done without good health. The Big Sister must take care of her own well-being and a worthy example to her Little Sister. Her spiritual life must be strongly emphasized. The need of moderate dress was emphasized. She pointed out how ridiculous and at the same time unhealthy it is for a girl to wear herself in turtles when at the same time wears thin stockings and nume.
Mrs. Eddy has for the last few years been intimately connected with the work of the different women's organizations and last summer had charge of the Junior Girls' Convention at Lake Geneva.
HELP THE RED CROSS
Christmas Stamps Are on Sale at the University Post-
office
Red Cross Christmas Stamps are on sale at the post-office. These stamps are issued to enable everyone in a small way to show the Christmas spirit by giving a small amount to charity.
The history of this movement dates from 1906 and was originated by a society in Chicago to check the rapid growth of tuberculosis. Money for this movement was needed and the plan of issuing stamps was hit with ten thousand stamps which sell for one cent are known as "money cards" as a means by which every one can give their mite to help someone enjoy the "Yuletide".
"One cent means nothing to you, but if every one in the United States gave that amount $000,000 would go to help the cause. When you go to the office, they give you upright cash, buy one of those stamps, stick it on your letter and go home with the feeling that you have done something even in a small way to forward the Christmas spirit and to help humble others during the morning, after which he went over to the office in Fraser and bought ten of the stamps.

Men You Know—and Don't
"I am a very peaceful man, Mr. Kansan Reporter, and I have never had any quarrels with the Chancellor or the deans. Why you want to start a fuss for me now I can't understand." And Prof. Erasmus Haworth of geology fame chuckled one of those big, wholehearted chuckles you get to tell him good points the deans will be so jealous of me that they will begin to pick on me right away." But we think that Daddy Haworth would make very good "pickings," so here goes.
Came To Kansas In 1866 "Who's His" says that the nearer Haworth was born in April 17, 1855, but Professor Haworth does not say anything about this. He begins by telling that his father brought him to Kansas in the fall of 1866, and that he lived on a farm in Southwestern Kansas until 76. At that time he came to the University, graduating in 81. Then he went away for eleven years. During two years of the war he was attending Umi Unitarian church he received his degree of Doctor of Philosophy in 1888. The next year he married Miss Ida E. Huntsman of Oskaloosa, Iowa.
"How I ever came to get married has always been a marvel to me," she said. "I don't know if I should go back."
"Do you mean you were so hard to please, or were you just roped into it before you were aware?" asked the reporter.
"Oh, heavens no, nothing like that," said Professor Haworth innocently, "I only meant that I can't understand how any one ever came to take me."
State Geologist For 20 Years
In 1892 he returned to Kansas and became a mineralogist in '94 he organized the Kansas State Geology Survey, and became state geologist. Besides all this he has found time to do professional work for the Union Pacific in Kansas and Wyoming, and for private companies in Arkansas and Oklahoma, besides writing numerous books and reports.
Picks Prettiest Site On Campus
Of course K. U., had to build a building for him, a mere recitation room and desk, but he big to hold such a combination of size and good humor. The board of regents allowed him to pick out his own building site, and he selected a spot overlooking the north and south. It is the prettiest on the campus" says Daddy Haworth.
"Of all the things I have done, though," he continued, "there is one of which I am most proud. That is the finding of the water at Newton. It is mighty fine water; the people are proud of it, too."
"I'm burning up with love for you,"
"Would you like to talk about it?"
Miss Eleanor M. Albridge, a student at the St. Lawrence University, at Canton, N. Y., gives a woman's opinion regarding co-education, gained from her experience at the above institution, where the idea of co-ordinate work has been discarded and when students are assigned alike, no discrimination being made in the matter of education. She saves:
First, then, co-education teaches girls not to flirt. When a girl attends classes with a young man, when she works with him and plays with him, she learns to see him as he really is, and laughs at him. The teacher was created for woman to attract and hold. No, I am not a suffragist, but I do think a co-educational college is an excellent place for a sentimental high school girl to go to recover her seran feelings; neither am I a prude, I hope that she will be a good teacher." I think that a co-educational college girl learns to appreciate the right side of a man, the serious side with the gay. It is hard for a girl really to know a man she has only met at dances, but let her meet him in the movies. He looks right and she knows her hat is on crooked; let them strive together toward a common goal of "education" in its truest, finest ideal companionship, and you will have an ideal companionship, a comrade spirit similar to that of a mature friend, who only a mature friendship, a reliable one and a purer, truer attitude toward this poor abused old world.

CONVICT DESIRES BOOKS
Former Kansan Imprisoned in California Wants Assistance
H. Austin, convict number 27378, in the California State penitentiary at San Quentin has written the Extension Division of the University asking him to make a dictionary and is willing to make use of a thumb worn text. A history of Kansas is also desired by Austin who is a native of the Jayawaker state and a descendant of one of his ancestors, Dr. Ellis. Misfortune overtook Austin, however, and as a result of his resort to criminal methods to obtain a living he is now serving a sentence of six and a half years. His letter follows:
Extension Division State University
Dec. 8,1915.
Lawrence, Kansas.
No doubt you will be surprised to receive this letter and while it does require considerable nerve, I hope you understand the matter as I do. First I am a prisoner here doing six and a half years' time and am trying to make use of the information I have in a position that will enable me to make an honest living upon my release.
In November, 1912, I lost the use of my right arm, through an accidental gun shot at Wamututter, Wyoming and it cost me everything I had for medical treatment. I went to Kansas City, Mo., and had an operation, but it did not restore the use of my hand, and having no one upon my side to assist in the recovery, the result is my living here. However, I am not ticking, neither am I sore at society but am simply trying to make the best of my misfortune. I have secured a complete course in salesmanship and am trying to master it as I expect to take up that line upon my relations with a lawyer, dictionary and thought perhaps you might have one that is not being used by you anymore that you would send me. The University of California has sent a number of them to the boys here but their supply has given out.
GRANDFATHER WELL KNOWN KANSAN
The reason that I write to you is that because I was born and lived most of my life in Kansas. My grandfather was a member of the first legion of war veterans I think at one time was State Superintendent of Schools. Abraham Ellis was his name. His photograph and an account of his life will be found in the Kansas State History, which by the way is another book that I would like very much to own but can get

WELCOME INTERURBAN
Students May Make Round Trip to Kansas City in Few Hours
The interubian line which will soon be in operation between Lawrence and Kansas City will give the University of Kansas the distinction of being situated in Lawrence and in Kansas City at practically the same time. Although an hour schedule has not yet been announced, it is almost certain that the new station something better, according to an unofficial statement made a few days ago by a man who is in a position to know the plans of the company.
The round trip fare will probably be one dollar. This will make it easy, even for persons who have to count their pennies, to travel back and forth very much as the city commuter goes to his work; and this will in many respects, revolutionize the life of the University.
It will be possible, for instance, for Lawrence people to attend the Kansas City theaters and return home the night before. It has been impossible for those who had to be in Lawrence early the next morning, or who could not afford to spend the night in the city, because Kansas City left at 9:30 o'clock.
CAN ATTEND THEATERS
CONVENIENT FOR STUDENTS
Again, it will be easy for students living in Kansas City to go back and forth every day and on a convenient schedule. At present a student who comes from Kansas City or from neighborting towns in the morning, cannot get back before 4:30 in the afternoon, leaving Lawrence, say, at 2:22. The new arrangement will put him there at 1:30, in time for dinner.
NUMBER 67.
WHAT ONE STUDENT DID
The railroad schedule now in operation forced one woman student last year to spend 48 hours a week going back and forth in order to attend two lectures when she was taking her class. She had to leave Kansas City the afternoon before her class, at about four o'clock, and reached Lawrence in time for supper. She spent the night at a hotel, which meant that she did not duly attend the lecture the next morning. Then she took the first train out for Kansas City at 2:22, and reached there at about四 o'clock. Multiply all that by two, and you get 48. The new road would have cut that down to two miles most, and probably great deal less.
ANOTHER SCHOLARSHIP
GIVEN BY MRS. JOHNTZ
The committee on Scholarships for Women of the University today received a check for $200 from Mrs. Pearl Mason Johnitz, Fine Arts, 60, nc.edu. He would like to start a new fund for the founding and maintenance of a loan scholarship for women of the University. The scholarship is in memory of her father the Rev. G. W. Mason, and he added to time to meet by Mrs. Johnitz.
The scholarship will be given in the spring when the others are away.
Dr. Maser was a man prominent in his profession, of wide reputation and of great benevolence during his life. When his daughter, now Mrs. Pearl Maser Johns, was on the Hill, Dr. Maser was always giving to the needy.
PROF, E. F. ENGLE OUT IN
FEW DAYS SAYS DOCTOR
Prof. E, F, Engle, head of the department of German, who has been dangerously ill for the last week, is very much improved today.
Professor Engle was taken with the gripe snippet and complications set in which made the illness dangerous. He were overcome yesterday and the patient is resting today.
"Professor Engle is much improved over yesterday and the day before," said Dr. H. S. Gardner, professor at this afternoon. "He is resting easily and will be out in a few days."
To Have Tree For The Poor
The municipal Christmas tree will be given on Christmas night at the south park. Haskell will give a seven hour and a half of thirty pieces. Miss Kennedy is training her grade pupils in songs they will sing that night. The high school Choral Club will sing several songs. A hymn will be passed out through the crowd to sing. After the music the Mayor will uncover the Christmas tree.
Students who have books out of the University and Journalism libraries are requested to return them before Friday, December 17.

Y. W. C. C. A. Social Workers Give Christmas For Poor
Many little hearts were made glad Wednesday afternoon when Christmas presents were distributed to over thirty poor children of the city by the social settlement workers of the Y. W. C. A.
A large Christmas tree with all the trimmings was set up in Friendship Hall, Ninth and Delaware, by the Y. W. C. A, women and dolls had been decorated for their special sororities. Other gifts, toys, fruits and candies were there too.
the little folk were treated to a surprise when they entered the playroom of the settlement house and saw the large candle-lighted tree with its ornamentation and praise; they felt appalled and asked for everything on the tree. Christmas stories were told the children who in return proudly spoke the little pieces which they had learned in school. The whole affair was prolific in results and the childs joy may had as much fun out of the entertainment as did the school children.
A.K.U.CALL
Of late, we have heard much of cafeterias; all of us have looked with envious eyes toward Ames and a hundred other colleges and universities which operate clean eating-houses at ourselfs; we feel sorry for ourselves.
But we don't need to. There is just one necessary thing which the students can get before a cafeteria which will accommodate all who will care to use it can be had. That one thing is a building.
The Board of Administration has promised that it will put in the fixtures and start in good running order a suitable cafeteria if the room is given. For one thousand dollars, a good building could be constructed to accommodate six hundred students. Go home this Christmas and tell your candidates about the condition up close. You are in a classroom classes are held in badly-lighted, poorly-heated basements and garrets, and then tell them that Kansas is one of the few universities in the Middle West that does not furnish a decent eating place for the students. What they will have some weight; if you save it.
Let's all get together and back the Board in asking an insignificant sum from the legislature that we may have a good University cafeteria.
PRAISES STUDENT AID
Treasurer of Belgian Fund in New York Thanks University for Help
A letter of appreciation and thanks was received this morning by Chancellor Frank Strong from Henry Clews of New York City, treasurer of the Dollar Christmas Fund for Destitute Belgians.
Mr. Clews asked the Chancellor to thank members of the student body for their practical gift to the desi- tionarians. The letter in full follows;
My Dear Chancellor:
In behalf of our committee I desire to acknowledge the valued donation to our Fund of $118.20 collected by the students of the University of Kansas. Your generous support will help us considerably in the effort we are making to alleviate a number of the most destitute students in our community, who will be glad to know that we have already devoted $0,000, part proceeds of our collections, to the work of relief under the auspices of the American Commission for Relief in Belgium, and we trust to hand over for a similar purpose, another substantial sum before our Fund closes. To me as Treasurer it is very gratifying to have the cooperation of the University of Kansas in our work, and I shall be glad indeed if you will be good enough to thank, in my name, the various subscribers who have expressed their sympathy for Belgium; suffering in so practical a way.
With personal respect, I am Most truly yours, Henry Clews

The final count was 38-27 for Coach Hamilton and 34-23 for Varsity men used by Coach Hamilton during the game had an easy time in winning, there was much in the ragged team work and loose handling of the ball to give Coach Hamilton and Coch Spruill plenty of work between now and the opening of the season January with Ames in Robinson gymnastum.
The "Poly" highs were the first to score but a goal by "Slats" Cole who registered seven during the evening, tied the score and from then on the score increased. In the rear. The first half ended 25 to 12 but the second period, despite a complete shift in the Kansas lineup, proved even worse for the visitors, only six points being scored while the coyote quintet was rolling up thirty-five.
COLE MAKES SEVEN GOALS
Although pleased at the good showing ability shown by the recruits, Coach Hamilton admitted after the game that will have to be pounded out of the squad before it will class up with the K. U, fives of the last few years.
Despite the wide margin in the score several of the Junior College players showed up well, Green at left was one of the first to tossing free throws. Trautwein at center together with Green proved the only players capable of solving the Jayawhaker defense. This pair made it through the screen recorded by the visitors during the game.
WHOLE SQUAD PLAYED WELL
Practically all of the double quintet used by Coach Hamilton showed up well. The four forwards, Kennedy, Gibbons, Washburn, and Kowder were playing a nature game. Appel and Nelson who played the defensive most of the game looked good. The veteran Cole at center not only got the jump on his opponent every time he was also taken seven field positions himself the individual marker of the evening.

Band Makes Its Annual Fall Appearance—Renders Difficult Program
The University band gave its ninth annual fall concert last night in Fraser Hall at eight o'clock before a large and appreciative audience. The program was the heaviest ever played by the band. The applause was immense after every selection and the desired number of encores could not be played on account of the lack of time and the desire to finish the regular program. The selections were as a whole the best of the day, judging from the way they were played the audience seemed satisfied that K. U, has a real band.
The band owes its success and efficiency to its unitting and able director J. C. McCanles. Mr. McCanles has had charge of the band for seven years and in that time he has formed an organization that is one of the most highly appreciated in the University.
Besides the student tickets several quarters were taken in, which is an evidence of interest in the band by persons outside the University.
After the concert, to show his appreciation of the work done by the students in the band, Mr. McCanes gave them a little feed of brick ice cream, and they wished them the usual joy and good times of Christmas and New Year.

SELECT 16 DEBATERS
A Final Tryout for Teams Will be Held After the Holidays
From twenty-eight men who tried out yesterday afternoon for places on the trianguar debate teams and for the Missouri team, sixteen were chosen to compete with the old varisties and a squad at a second tryout to be held within ten days after the Christmas holidays. There are nine former varsity debaters in school at present who are eligible for places on the teams, but as yet it is not known where they competed for places at the final tryout.
N. L. Anderson, J. Donaldson, W. S. Edwards, W. Glasco, C. E. Hale, J. Harris, A. B. Irwin, C. B. Lyon, H. McCullough, E. F. Price, J. B. Ramsey, W. Raymond, M. H. Read, Reser . Riehich, Richmond and . Smith. The judge told the court were Professors O'Leary, Dykstra, MacMurray and Hill.
The following men were given places at the preliminary tryout:

Salina didn't want Sanchez, so the chief of police put him aboard a Union Pacific train on a stretcher Dec. 7, and sent him to Kansas City. Kansas City has been imposed on in such a manner before and therefore the hospitals were justified in calling it 'a bad situation somewhere.' And he guarded to the matter Governor Carper ordered that the practice of Kansas towns of sending destitute sick persons on to the next station must be stopped.

PACIFISTS WANT STRONG
Chancellor Says He Will Accept Invitation To Join Them
Alton B. Parker, at one time Democratic candidate for president, now chairman of the Home Organization Committee of the International League to Enforce Peace, sent Chancellor Frank Strong a special invitation to become a member of the league, this morning. The Chancellor mentioned that he "am deeply impressed with the principles of the league and am very glad indeed that Mr. Parker thought of me," said the Chancellor.
Ex-president Taft is president of the league and William Allen White is a charter member. Hamilton P. Holt, editor of the New York Independent, is one of its most widely known active members.
His address to the students of the University Monday morning was an outline of the principles of the league. In his letter, Mr. Parker stated that Kansas is soon to organize a state chapter of the national organization.

M. U. STUDENTS PROTEST
Annual Jayhawk-Tiger Battle Injures Their Morals They Say
The Young People's Societies of the University of Missouri, in a union meeting, have petitioned the authorities of both the University of Missouri and the University of Iowa to hold the annual football game on some other day than Thanksgiving Day.
WANT NO THANKSGIVING GAMES
They reason that the contest on Thanksgiving Day is contrary to the spirit and purpose of the day and interferes with its proper observance; the Thanksgiving day game is not merely detrimental to the morals of the college town but to the state as a whole. The state and the world at large that the standards of the world are placed above the standards of religion at the University of Missouri, as well as at the University of Kansas.
MAY CALL VALLEY CONFERENCE
"In view of the above reasons," the petition reads, "and because of our belief in their validity, we submit this protest, and petition that in the future we will make it possible in by the two Universities concerned, nor by the University of Missouri with any other University on the National Day of Thanksgiving, but that in our of our forefathers shall still prevail as the proper observance 'the Day.'"
This is the only step that has been taken in the agitation of doing away with the game on Thanksgiving Day. We have done so because a conference of faculty members of the Missouri Valley schools will meet and draw up a resolution. This in turn will give us a reference of the heads of the institutions with which rests the final judgment.

"I don't know just exactly when the class will be held," said Dr. Goetz, today, "but it will be at some convenient time for the girl's. I can tell exactly as soon as the rules for next semester are out."

REJOICE, THEY'RE HERE

True to the promises of Geo. O. Foster that the long sought' Student Directions would be here the last of the week, they arrived this morning from Topeka and this afternoon were brought up from the depot. They then signed on tomorrow to any student or other person to whom one is due.
"Now that vacation has come," said Registrar Foster this morning, "the directories are here and the students can have them to read information. By that time every one should know where every one else lives."
This Must Be A Mistake
This Must Be A Mistake In a communication to the Washington Daily, a member of the faculty gets real confidential;
"Don't get the idea that your instructors expect you to spend your holiday poring over books, for they, too, know what it is to look forward to times when they may accomplish those things which are put aside from day to day because study keeps them busy".
Many are the students that are feeling the effects of the professors' pre-Christmas drive.

- The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students who go to or former than they simply printing the news by standing behind them; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be able to laugh; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to serve the people who identify the university of the University.

CONGRATULATIONS
The editorial, business and reportorial staffs of the University Daily Kansan take this opportunity—in the last issue of the paper before the holidays to congratulate the faculty and student body of the school upon finishing three months of the first semester of the year in worthy fashion. Our athletic teams have made remarkable showings, considering the circumstances; the grades in the deens' offices are the highest they have been in years. We have had more good addresses, more good musical numbers, more successful smokers and have in all ways, accomplished more than in any similar period.
And while we are offering congratulations to you, faculty members and students, we wish to include the merchants and townspeople of Lawrence and the citizens of the state of Kansas, and wish—in time-worn words,—a merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all.
ITS TOO BAD, BUT—
A number of communications have been received by the editor which cannot be run this year because of the large amount of live material now in type to be used before the holidays.
Because communications are printed on the editorial page, some writers to the "Campus Opinion" column have mixed two 'parts of the page. One of the communications recently received at the office is cruelly unjust to the Kansan in that it says that an editorial in the paper stated that the new closing rule was one by Mrs. Eustace Brown. Mrs. Brown's name has not been mentioned in an editorial in the Kansan at all in connection with the new closing hour for dancing.
The editor wishes to apologize for not running these recent communications which have been received. Two of them advocate an earlier hour for starting dances; five of them commend the paper for "voicing student sentiment," one is on the bad system of showers in the gymnasium, and another is on proper ventilation of University Buildings.
Write some more after the holidays.
THEY NEED A WALK
Are the people who live on the north side of the hill of more importance than those who live on the south side? It can hardly be said that they are, for many faculty members and students have their homes on the south side of Mount O'Regan and are playing as large a part in the life of the University as are those who reside on the north.
Why then should those people on the south have to labor over a rickety board walk, that is little more than a memory, or trespass on private property whenever they come to the campus. In bad weather the present ap-

Why not a little culture and reserve in our forms of greeting? Why must pet names be used in salutation? Several girls meet and immediately the air is filled to overflowing with "dear," "honey," "lovie," "darling," "dearie" in a rather sickening mixture.
The gushing effusiveness of the feminine members of the student body, while laughable, is no more absurd than the stolid greetings of the men.
"Yea Bo," "Hey Kid," "Say Old Sport," "Old Scout," "Cull," "Bunch" coming from men who have supposedly passed their grade school mannerisms, is equally absurd.
If a dictaphone could be used to record some of the wishy-washy greetings of the members of the student body, there would be more propriety in the meetings of students and less mush and nonsense.

Of course some students do not save their caps, but they don't sell them or give them to freshmen. They give them to the younger brother at home, or keep them to hold down their hair when they shampoo, or put them in their "K" books. Every freshman will admit that he thinks more of his cap every day.

SENIORS ARE CHAMPIONS
Soph Eleven Loses Deciding Game in Inter-class Series
H. A. Lorenz is a gym instructor by trade, but nevertheless he showed himself to be an apt pupil in chasing and carrying the pig skin in the last of the interclass football games that the women won from the Sophomores by a 12 to 0 count. The game was a scrappy affair from the start and although the second year men were doped to win, the climatic conditions, or some other unforeseen element, with the followers of "Speed" Heath.
The Minnesota shift which was used to such good advantage last Saturday, when the freshmen, were beaten, was of no avail yesterday. The freshmen cured it smashed against the stone wall line of the fourth year men. Consequently other line smashes were out of the question as were end runs, in such a sea of mud and mire field presented yesterday afternoon.
The seniors with their much touted 200 pound line swept the sophomores off their feet and from there would emerge either Lorenz, Joe Gaitskill, or George Smee. The score would probably have been different when the day became warm, so that the lightship sophomores could have shown their spirit.
Women Have Peace Party
A Christmas "peace" gathering was enjoyed by about one hundred women at Myers Hall Tuesday afternoon. Everything from the fire crackling in the fire-place and the sprays of holly with which the room was decorated, to the pop corn and apples, spoke of Christmas cheer. Chairs were drawn up around the fire-place and rugs and pillows made the scene very homey.

Students Find Special Attraction in the Lawrence
WHAT THE SHOPS OFFER
Stores
The University Daily Kansan proposes to publish the news of this week in the journal of the campus. Space in this column is not for publication, gathered by students and no attention is paid to whether shops sell newspapers where who find special bargains at Lawrence stores are requested to send in such items.
Your clothes never look the same right after a hike or steak roast, but after they have spent several hours at the New York Clemens, you easily persuade yourself that you are a proud possessor of an entirely new suit.
The wind is a howling success on the campus, especially along the stretch from the Museum to the Sigma kappa house. After a long and hot cup of chocolate at Brickle's Tee Room can be fully appreciated.
Business is no longer a matter of custom mixed with sentiment as it was at one time, neither is the grasping policy of taking advantage of only the immediate profits still in vogue, for business experience shown that heart and mind are attentive to the health program, are of vital interest to a firm employing a large number of people. Light airy working rooms, roof gardens, cheap lunches furnished by the firm, and shorter working hours are proving to be advantageous to employers and employees. The study of better departments is in the Ed. V. Price Tailoring Co., represented in Lawrence by G. Clarke.
Anyone desiring the use of a kodak may obtain the use of one free by taking their films to be developed to the "Round Corner Drug Store."

Something which would delight any needlewoman is a work basket, the frame of which is of ivory. Inside this framework is a ring with a pink silk cink. This bit of luxury sells at Innes' at $2.50.
The "Safety First" Juvenile book display at the Wolf Book Store makes a strong appeal to boys of the junior age. Besides the Boy Scout books there are a number of books written by you, by authors Timley and others. Boys' Life and other magazines may be had there also.
Articles that seem naturally to belong together but which, when wanted in a hurry, have an aversion to being found together, have been 'captured' and neatly arranged in a small box which the Dennison people have named, "The Handy Box." It contains twine, shipping tape, key rubber bands, paper tape, suspension rings, adhesive tape and glue. The box had at the University Book Store for $1.00. Glue, clips, paper fasteners and adhesive tape are arranged in a smaller box that sells at 40 cents.
Girls are as fond of pretty ribbons as men are of ties. A fine assortment of ribbons in plains, stripes, and solid colors is in stock. Ribbons are in selling for thirty-nine cents a yard. The ribbon is an exceptionally good bargain.
Few students can afford the luxury of a "two-bite" cigar. However it is possible for two or three students to enjoy such luxuries on a co-operative plan with one of the three Turkic Nargilehs which are being offered at Grigg's in Chicago, in the relied upon of the "High Cost of Smoking," is an odd looking instrument composed of a small ornamented water flask from the center of which a glass tube extends through the top into the metemchaum bowl which the cigar or the tobacco or three flexibles attached to the bottom of the flask. The smoke in order to reach the smoker must pass down through the glass tube into the water, where in rising it looses its strength and becomes cooler.
