The Kansan today reprints from the Daily Nebraskan an article in which that paper alleges that there are at the present time professional players on the University of Kansas baseball team. The article shows that they have been hearing a lot of things up at Nebraska. The athletic authorities at the University of Kansas, it is safe to say, have investigated most of the instances cited by the Nebraskan and have satisfied themselves that the men have not played professional ball. The Kansan believes that no harm can be done by an open and free discussion of the charges. If any of them are true, it is to the interest of the University to know it and act accordingly. On the other hand, failure to recognize the published reflections on the University in any way may be construed by neighboring Universities to mean that there is something here to be covered up.
College athletics was doubtless benefited by the meeting of governing boards held at Kansas City Tuesday. One thing that encourages lovers of sport and of football in particular is the changed attitude of men who at first thought the abolition of intercollegiate contests was the only solution of the problem. Most of them changed their minds as the discussion went on. They arrived at the conclusion that careful regulation of college sports is all that is needed and that is what the friends of sport have been claiming all along.
It was quite incidental, of course,but the Regents at the Kansas City meeting Tuesday showed themselves entirely competent football publicity promoters. If there is any better way to advertise the Thanksgiving contest at Kansas City next Thanksgiving day than by announcing in advance that it is the last that will ever be played there, nobody has thought of it.
Tonight the Music Festival begins. It is an occasion long looked forward to by lovers of music. Every student should go to all the concerts if possible. Any student who does not attend a single one of them will have cheated himself out of a valuable part of his University education.

Many Electric Lights to Be Installed Soon.
TO LIGHT THE CAMPUS.
The need for a larger number of electric lights upon the campus has been apparent for years and this spring the University authorities have taken definite action toward improving lighting facilities. A short time ago Secretary E. E. Brown, accompanied by members of the committee or grounds, made an inspection of the campus to determine where additional lights should be placed. It was decided that beginning north of Spooner library, a light should be placed about every 100 feet along the main boulevard to the Engineering building.
Arrangements for beginning the work of installation have necessarily been delayed because so many propositions had to be considered. Mr.Brown said yesterday that the kind of supports from which the lights will be suspended was one of the things under consideration. The apparatus to be used has been practically decided upon, but the contract has not been closed. All the wires will be placed underground.
In addition to the lights along the roadway, two will be placed in front of Fraser hall and one between Fraser and the medical building. Each light will consist of a cluster of five Tungsten incandesces, making a soft, white light. Each series will be enclosed in a large globe.
APPROVED APPOINTMENT.
Of Dean of New School of Education.
At the meeting of the Board of Regents Tuesday afternoon the appointment of Dr. Charles H. Johnston to the position of dear of the new School of Education, was approved. Other details with regard to the school were discussed and formal action taken to grant the faculty of the new department sole power of setting the standard of teachers' diplomas and also the sole power of certification.
Another action of the Regents not in connection with the School of Education, was the appointment of Dr. J. N. Van der Vries to assist Prof. R. A. Schwegler in his work of arranging the delivering of addresses before county teachers' institutes.
FOR $250,000.
Elect New Members.
The Phi Alpha Delta, honorary law fraternity, has elected eight members of the junior law class to membership. They are, Glen Porter, Robert Foulston, Karl Shawyer, Lee Shinn, Albert Spencer and George Brown.
Bryn Mawr Girls Working to Raise That Amount.
Bryn Mawr College girls in every portion of the country have answered the call for assistance in raising a fund of $ \frac{1}{4} $ million dollars that is necessary in order that their alma mater may obtain a cash gift of equal amount offered by the general educational board, the organization endowed by the Rockefeller millions. The only condition imposed is that the money must be obtained by not later than the first of June.
Such progress has been made up to date that the workers for the cause are confident they will have obtained the necessary quarter of a million dollars when the time limit has expired. One contributor has offered to make up the remainder of the fund as soon at $170,000 has been raised. This makes this one gift $80,000. A manufacturing company has offered to make up $50,00 of every $100,000 raised by the alumni
There have been many other conditional subscriptions. Several women have volunteered to give $10,000 when nine other contributors of the same amount can be found. The contributions of amounts ranging from $100 have been plentiful from graduates in all parts of the country and have swelled the fund. Money has also been obtained by class collections throughout the country. In addition to New York organized groups are canvassing Washington, Chicago, St. Louis, Boston and Cincinnati, the latter city being the home of Miss Helen Taft, who is a student at Bryan Mawr.-New York Evening Telegram.
I have convinced hundreds of students that this is the place to leave your shoes for repair. Why buy new shoes to break in, when you can have your old ones repaired as good as new. I use the best of stock and do the best of work. K. U. SHOE SHOP, 1400 Louisiana street.
