LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 25, 1908.
NUMBER 47
LEADERS ARE SUSPENDED
HEIM GOLDMAN AND CARL EDDY OUT OF SCHOOL.
Three Weeks For Playing Five Ineligible Men in Mandolin Concert.
Heim Goldman and C. G. Eddy, the student director and manager of the mandolin club were snspended today from the University for a term of three weeks for a violation of the eligibility rules in the concert given by the club in Fraternal Aid Hall Friday night.
The action suspending the manager and director was taken by the eligibility committee at a meeting yesterday afternoon. At the last appearance of the club Frank Faloon, Jerome Beatty, Charles Hoar, Ridley Pearson and C. E. Thomas were declared ineligible by the committee. They appeared, however, in the concert but were designated as assistants of the club.
Mr. Goldman, speaking of the suspension, said: "We did not play the men as University men and thought by doing this we were abiding by the rules. This is the first semblance of such an offense by the mandolin club, and I believe we have a cleaner record than other organizations in the school."
A member of the committee said in regard to the affair: "If the eligibility rules are to be worth anything they cannot be ignored the way the mandolin club has tried to ignore them. Neither Mr.Eddy nor Mr. Goldman made any effort to get the men in condition for the concert. We have been very lenient with the club during the year and have made all kinds of concessions to help the organization. But if we are to regard eligibility rules we cannot allow heads of organizations to flagrantly violate them."
Juniors Beaten by Freshmen.
The Freshman basket ball team defeated the Juniors last Saturday in an exhibition game. The score was 33 to 21. Heizer, for the Freshmen, and Wohler, for the Juniors, were the stars.

PRACTISING HARD
BASEBALL DIAMOND A BUSY SCENE EACH EVENING.
Good Material on Team This Spring—Manager Looking for Game Saturday.
With the opening of the baseball season close at hand the Jayhawker aggregation of ballchasers is in excellent condition. Every evening McCook field is the scene of a hotly contested game between the 'Varsity and the Freshmen. The Freshies have a good bunch of players and give Captain Young's squad a run for their money. In the first real game of the season last Saturday afternoon the first year men were taken into the tall uncut by the score of 10 to 0.
This spring the University will be represented by an experienced, consistent, hardhitting team of diamond stars. Captain Young, long-time guardian of the first sack, will run the team. Young is a heady player, a fair hitter and knows the fine points of the game. Hoffman and Harlan are a great pair of slab artists. They are old men on the team, have the speed and the curves, and, better still, the head of successful pitchers. Tom Stephenson has ability and with a little experience is sure to develop into a good man.
Rockerfeller, behind the bat, is a new man on the team. He has a fast wing and can coach a pitcher. Gibbs at second and Haughey Angney at third are also new men. Gibbs comes from Baker and is a steady fielder and a good sticker. Angney can bingle a little himself and his part of the lot will be taken care of so far as fielding is concerned.
Doubleday, Harvey, Carlson and McClellan are a quartet of sure fielders and heavy bat wielders. Doubleday is an old hand at the national game, although this is his first year on the 'Varsity. Carlson made good last year and Harvey and McClelan are the pick of all this year's candidates for the outergardens.
If McCook can be made ready for baseball by Saturday there will probably be a game. Sand has been put on the diamond and it will be slow until a good rain packs down the loose materials.
MET STUDENTS
H. BURTON,ALIAS "THE SWINDLER" HERE LAST WEEK.
He Met University Officials and Students, Dined at Frat Houses and Was A Hale Fellow.
Harry Burton, who for the past week has been the central figure in alleged effort to blackmail the Chicago police department, which involves several of the most prominent ministers of that city was in Lawrence all last week and met several of the prominent University officials and was enrestained at some of the fraternity houses.
He left Lawrence last Thursday evening presumably to go to Chicago. While here he stayed at the city Y. M. C.A. house and spent much of his time among the students. He was arrested Thusday in Lawrence, but was released on recommendation of Secretay Holmes of the Y.M.C.A.
He is accused by the Chicago police of trying to extort $75,000 from them after receiving a large sum of money from the ministers to secure evidence against the department. The Chicago papers gave his real names as Harry Schlinder alais The Swindler. He purported to be gathering information for the "Woman's Research League" of New York while here.
CLASS GAMES THIS WEEK.
Varsity Plays "Old Stars" Saturday Night.
The inter-class basket ball schedule will be played off this week, beginning this afternoon with a game between the Freshmen and Sophomores at four o'clock. The Seniors have no team out.
The final game will be played Saturday afternoon between the winners of the preliminaries. A silver trophy will be awarded the winning team.
What promises to be an interesting event is a game Saturday night between the "varsity" and "Old K. U. Stars." The "old timers" squad will be made up of: Don Alford, Tommy Johnson, "Phog" Allen, Fay Moulton, Leo Crabbs, "Slim" Dennis, and Alpha Brummage. The election of captain for next year's basket ball team will precede this game. Bergen and Woodward are the only candidates.
PAN-HELLENIC TAKES ACTION
DANCE PROGRAMS NOT TO BE MADE IN ADVANCE.
Fraternities Take Initiative in Doing Away with Inconvenient Practice.
If the action taken by the Pan-Hellenic at its meeting held March 22, is ratified by the different fraternities the practice of making out dance programs in advance of the night of the dance will be done away with. A resolution was passed by the Pan-Hellenic pledging each of the fraternities to forbid its men making out any list of dances before the progams are given out at the dance. From the Pan-Hellenic the resolution goes before the fraternities for ratification. Two of the fraternities have passed the resolution unanimously, the remainder have not yet taken action. It has been placed before the sororities and it is expected they will ratify it.
The practice of making out the programs sometimes two or three weeks in advance of the party is one that has grown up in the last two or three years. It is not common in other schools, and has been found to have many inconveniences.
OXFORD'S FAMOUS LIBRARY.
Professor Thomas Tells in Chapel of Bodleian Library.
Professor D. L. Thomas spoke in chapel Tuesday morning about the Bodleian library of the University of Oxford, England. The library contains about three-fourths of a million bound volumes, and it is chiefly notable for the number of valuable manuscripts which it contains. Professor Thomas said that a book could be secured at Oxford in much less time than in other European libraries and that the atmosphere seemed more uplifting than in any great library on the continent.
Walter Ward and Joe Burkholder, of Belleville and Newton respectively, spent Monday and Tuesday at the Sigma Chi house, en route for Sacramento, California.
