WILL AUDIT ACCOUNTS
ORGANIZATIONS MUST PRE SENT REPORTS.
Letter, Making Request Sent Out by Chancellor Today-Official Registration Next Year.
Letters requesting an audit of the accounts of all the University organizations were sent out this morning. One of the communications goes to the head of each of the societies. It first calls attention to the existing ruling of the Board of Regents, providing a University auditor, whose services are given to the organizations and later stating that all organizations claiming the use and prestige of the University's name must publish an annual statement of their accounts.
The letter also asks that all accounts be in the hands of the Chancellor by May 23. They will then be turned over to the University auditor and later be published.
Moreover, the plan at present for next year is that all organizations must maintain a definite organization in order to retain the privilege and prestige of being connected with the University.
The organizations which will be included in the coming audit are the treasurers of all the classes, the Senior Play management, the chairman of the Cap and Gown committee, the chairman of the Senior Invitation committee, the University Orchestra, the Glee Club, the Band, the Masque Club, the Thespian Club, the Debating Council, the Graduate Magazine, the Kansas Lawyer, the Jayhawker, and The Kansan.
Although the ruling calling for this audit has been in force for nearly a year, it has never before been completely enforced. This year, however, a statement of the receipts and expenditures of every one of the above organizations will be required.

HAD PRACTICE GAME.
'New Football Puts a Premium on Interference,' Says Kennedy, After Morning's Work.
For two hours this morning two teams of Jayhawkers, captained by "Mike" Lynch and Roy Speer, tried out the latest improvements in football rules on the green south of MeCook field. The purpose of the practice was not to pile up touchdowns, but to find out what football is really going to be like under the new rules. The game was played without officials, for neither the new rules nor the penalty for violating them are known definitely.
"The hardest thing we had to do this morning was to keep from helping the man with the ball, which has become a second nature with us," said Coach Kennedy. "The new game will put a premium on interference. As the man with the ball can't be helped from behind, some means of helping him from the front must be perfected. In other ways the new game looks to me like a return to old-fashioned football with mass play eliminated. I think the offense and defense are pretty well balanced, but as it will be hard to gain eight yards, there will be a great deal of kicking."
The Phi Gamma Delta house at Indiana University was lately completely destroyed by fire.
Coach Kennedy thinks the four days of practice and study of the game will be of great value to the team next fall.
HARVARD OK'S KISSING.
Cornell has a unique baseball league in which the faculties of the several colleges are represented.
Medical Expert Shatters the Microbe Theory.
Cambridge, Mass., May 11. Harvard has officially put its OK on kissing. Dr. A. M. Worthington, of the medical school, an expert on bacteria, not osculation, says that there is no reason whatever why healthy and well-intentioned couples should not indulge in kissing to their heart's content.
"Kissing harmful? Certainly not! No, sir! There is no possible reason in the world or proof why, when two self-respecting wholesome persons meet lip to lip they can't break away without upsetting the bacterial balance. Perhaps the only serious danger springing from such a union would affect the heart only."
Incidentally, his statement shatters the theory advanced many times by professors of other universities that kissing is dangerous, because it makes a swap of microbes, and illness in one or both parties to the union often follows such diversions. Said Dr. Worthington:
Dr. Worthington asserted that if bacteria were driven from the land the world would become a desert scattered with the world's dead. Germs are humble in their needs, but stupendous in their life work, he said.
Columbia undergraduates who eat at the commons have been notified of a 25c raise in the board rate. A senior manages the table and he claims that the increased price of meats is responsible.

WASHINGTON LOST FIRST
SCORE OF INITIAL GAME 11
TO 6 FOR KANSAS.
Errors Were Numerous, but the Jayhawks Were Fiends at the Bat.
Speaking of yesterday's ball game—In the first place we won by a 11 to 6 tally. In the second we owe the contestants a vote of thanks for their laudable attempt to renew the youth of the bleacherites. Yesterday's exhibition carried us back to the little lot around the corner where we used to play one old eat. Errors, swats, bone-heads and everything else that goes to make up a good old town-lot game was much in evidence.
The thing that relieved the situation was the hitting of the Rockeyites. The boys fattened up the swatting averages. On the other hand as the per centages in the hit column rose those on the fielding side of Manager Lansdon's ledger dropped. Only nine errors were chalked up to the discredit of the red and blue athletes
K. U. started the fireworks in the first act with four runs, which came as the result of four hits and an error. In the second three more were added. Two came in the third and two in the sixth and one in the seventh. In the third the Pikeways gleaned three by reason of two passes and three errors. In the fourth, fifth and seventh each, one visitor dented the rubber.
Of all the swatters who swatted, and they were many, Jim Smith swatted the most. Out of four trips to the pan he rammed out two singles, a double and a home run.
Batteries—K. U. Heizer and Rockefeller. Washington U.—Poindexter, Cave, Ansehutz and Walther. Hits—Off Heizer, 5; off Poindexter, 6; off Cave, 8. Bases on balls—Heizer, 5; Poindexter, 2; Ansehutz, 1. Struck out—By Heizer, 5; Cave, 2; Ansehutz, 2.
Plans have been drawn up for the enlargement of the library at Harvard.
Lost—Two University checks. Finder please return to treasurer's office.

THE VALUE OF PICTURES.
Editor Says Illustrations Are Be- coming More Popular Everywhere.
E. E. Slosson, literary editor of the Independent, recently gave a talk upon the increasing use of graphical representation of ideas in modern journalism before the newspaper classes at the University of Illinois. Mr Slosom says that he thinks that the best opportunity in the field of words are not the best way of conveying ideas, but on the contrary, as Mr. Slosson showed are almost the least effective. The first attempts at graphical representation were very crude and consisted mostly of diagramatic comparisons by means of lines or curves. Now the tendency is to use artistic photographs or drawings in prospective which are much more vivid and life-like. Foreign work in this line is far in advance of American pictures, especially as to their artistic merit.
More time and brains are put into advertising illustrations than into the regular illustrations.
Pictures are of immense value to a magazine that is doing things The emotional appeal of a picture illustrating some well-known but under-estimated facts in the life about is very strong. A great part of the value of a picture is that it conveys the appeal in the easiest possible way. It is better adapted to the rush of the modern world than the best literary style. The field of illustrating presents the best opportunity in the field of journalism today to those possessing some artistic ability.-Daily Illini.
Mr. Slossom was graduated from the University of Kansas in 1890.
