MORE CANDIDATES
ANNOUNCED FOR ELECTION TO STUDENT COUNCIL .
All Petitions Must Be Filed by Tomorrow Night—Election Friday. May 5.
All petitions of candidates for election to the Student Council must be signed and filed with Edwin Baumgartner, the present president of the Council, by tomorrow evening. A week later May 5, the election will take place.
At this time probably all of the men who will be placed in nomination for the different offices and council memberships have announced themselves. Among the candidates are many good men; students who have been prominent in student affairs for several years, and who are candidates for the Council because they want to make it a representative body.
The election next week will be held by the Australian ballot system. Consequently, very little politics, which often breaks down the true democratic spirit of the University elections, can enter the polling. Each student will be able to select the candidates to fill the positions that he believes will be able to make the Student Council what it should be.
The men who have announced their candidacy since the list, of candidates was last printed in the Kansan, are :
Secretary
President
Thomas Lee,
Roy Porterfield,
Burton Sears,
From the College,
Lloyd Beeghly,
Edward Chesky,
From the School of Engineering
George Magatagan.
John Busch,
Ben Forbes.
TEBEAU LOSES ANNUAL GAME
THANKSGIVING FOOTBALL
AT A NEW PARK.
Next Fall's Turkey Day Game Will Be Played on Gordon and Koppel's New Field.
The last annual Kansas-Missouri football game which will be played in Kansas City, will not take place in Tabeau's Association park, as it has during the past number of years. Such was the announcement made by Professor E. W. Murray, secretary o. the Athletic board, this morning, day afternoon, Manager Lansdom By action of the board last Mon was instructed to close a contract with Gordon & Koppel to play the Turkey Day game in their new park at 47th and Lydia avenue in Kansas City. All connections with Tebeau will be severed and the new contract made within a short time.
After communicating with the governing board of the University of Missouri, the action of the local athletic board was taken for two reasons. The first is that by the new contract much better terms will be secured and the second that the Gordon & Koppel park aqords much better accommodations, from the viewpoints of comfort, safety and capacity.
The contract which the University here and Missouri have held with Tebeau during the past several years has been a conditional of each year the two schools had, one. At any time before June 1 by its terms, the right to rescind the contract for the coming season. Consequently, it was possible for the athletic board to take action as it did.
The terms under which the combe made, give the owners 10 per cent to play in the new park will cent of the gross receipts. Tebeaun was drawing $17\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. The management of the new field promise to arrange to accommodate 25,000 persons, if necessary. This number is twice the capacity of Tebeaun's park. Fourteen thousand people attended the game last fall, and with the next being the last in Kansas City, the number may very likely be doubled. Missourin has already agreed to the new contract and it will be completed within a short time.
