TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 1910.
Friends of the University of Misssouri are agitating for a fixed tax to be levied for the support of the University. This is to free the institution from the necessity of appealing every two years to a legislature which is too busy playing politics to attend properly or fairly to the needs of education. The University of Missouri fared rather badly at the hands of the last Missouri legislature, and naturally its directors do not wish to repeat the experience. The University of Kansas has the same problem to face. In a short time the biennial fever of interesting the legislators in the higher education of Kansas must begin. It is sometimes hard for the academic mind to get the legislator's view point, too. One Solon said he did not get a good impression of the University when with his fellow Solons he visited Lawrence during the last session. "They fed us better at Manhattan," he explained.
A dispatch from Madison, Wis. says that the students and faculty of the University of Wisconsin have signed an agreement to abstain from treating one another to intoxicating drinks in the future. Out here in Kansas, while we have problems enough to keep us busy most of the time, we are spared some problems that arise in higher education in states where there are saloons in the university towns.
The University of Kansas, at least, is safe from further criticisms on the part of Millionaire Crane of Chicago. When next he criticises the faculty for being unable to hold down high-salaried jobs such as they pretend to pre-pare students for, he will be confronted with the fact that a member of the faculty of the University of Kansas has been offered a position on a league baseball team.
"Nothing set in the midst of naught," is Dr. Percival Lowell's description of the tail of Halley's comet. That tail must be almost as thin and unsubstantial as next year's football plans at the University of Kansas.
No, you're wrong. The junior farce this year is called "The Student Count," not "The Student Council." There are also seniors on the Student Council.
WORK ON STREET
CAR LINE STARTED
Cars to Reach Summit of Hill Within a Month, According to Present Plans.
The work of completing the car line over the campus from Mississippi street to Ontario street was begun yesterday. D. Dwyer, superintendent of construction for the eastern company that is building the line, will arrive in Lawrence Wednesday to push the work. At that time the working force of twenty men and six teams will be doubled. The line will be extended from Mississippi street and by April 1 the line will be opened to the top of the hill. The complete circuit connecting the south end of the Tennessee line will be completed by May 1.
The company is now running a fifteen minute service, but when the line over the hill is opened the service will be doubled during rush hours.
The station that is to be built at the University will be located in North hollow, opposite the law building. It will be built of cut stone and roofed with fancy tile. A platform will be built on the campus near the gym where the double track will be located.
HAVE STOPPED TREATING.
"Have One on Me" Out of Wis. consin's Lexicon.

SENT TO WASHINGTON.
Petition for K. N. G. Company Pending.
The petition for a charter for the National Guard company at the University, which was sent to C. L. Martin, adjutant general of the state, has been sent by him to the war department at Washington. If the charter is granted by the federal department the company will be furnished with the latest equipment at the expense of the government instead of the state, as are most of the Kansas companies.
FOR A HIGH SCHOOL DEBATING LEAGUE
The picture shows the graceful dip in the skirtfront of our 3-button Spring Suits for Young Men. This is one of the many different models we're having such a big call for in our exclusive lines of imported gray worsteds, fancy blues and natty striped materials. No such variety of swagger apparel has ever appeared in Lawrence, nor will you find anything to compare with the values featured by us at $20 and $25.
Dipped Just Enough
Organization Will Encourage Students of Preparatory Schools to Debate.
In order to encourage debating in high schools, the State University extension department has organized a High School Debating League. A conference held at Lawrence Saturday, March 12 was attended by 100 representatives from high schools and the organization completed. The executive committee appointed consists of the president of the league, H. L. Miller, superintendent of schools of Kansas City, Kan.; R. R. Price, director of the University extension department. W. H. Johnson, University high school visitor, and State Superintendent of Public Instruction E. T. Fairchild.
It is the plan of the organization to divide the state into eight districts corresponding with the eight congressional districts of the state. A director is to be appointed in each district who shall have charge of the contests in his district. The winning teams of each district will debate. The two winning teams of the inter-district champion teams will clash in final contest to be held at the University on the night preceding the annual inter-scholastic field meet
The Board of Regents has of fered a cup which shall become the permanent property of the school winning it twice. A "League Banner" will be given to the school winning the "Regents' cup," to be held permanently by the school. One of the newspapers of the state will offer the "League banner."
