PLAYERS TO TRAIN BY HONOR SYSTEM
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1910
ALL PLAYERS UNDER SURVEILLANCE OF COMMITTEE.
Secret Practice Abolished and Gates Thrown Open—Two New Men Out.
Beginning tonight there will be a change in the policy of the Jayhawkers with reference to training. A disciplinary committee will be formed and all men will be placed upon their honor not to ignore any of the rules which have been laid down. The members of the committee will include the two coaches, Kennedy and Mosse, and the three "K" men on the team, Johnson, Heil and Ammons. All players will be under the surveillance of this committee and any man guilty of breaking training will be given a trial by its members.
"It is hard to train properly," said Kennedy this morning, "without a training table. Yet, I am greatly pleased with the attitude of the men so far. All show a disposition to obey the rules and keep in the best possible physical condition."
The coach also announced this morning that beginning this afternoon there will be no further secret practices until just before the Washburn game. All students and members of the faculty are invited to go to MeCook to witness any of the scrimmages from this time on.
"I only hope that it will be unnecessary to call any more secret practices," said Kennedy. "If the student body would assure me that no spy or outsider would be allowed on the field I should be more than glad to keep the gates open during the entire season."
Two new men were on McCook last night. They are Jim Blades of Minneapolis, and Carl Hieks of Lawrence. The former is a line man and the latter is trying for a backfield position.
Blades held a position on the freshman team four years ago but has been out of school since that time. He weighs an even 200 pounds and should be a valuable asset for Kennedy. Hicks is a fast baseball player, but there is a question as to whether he will be able to try for the 'varsity football squad. His eligibility is being questioned and he has not yet been able to clear himself.

USE CITY WATER.
And Avoid Typhoid, Say University Chemists. .

President Ralph Spotts of the Student Council today called a special meeting of the Council for tomorrow night to probe into the frauds that have come to light in connection with the class elections An examination of the polling lists, together with some reports that have been circulating among the students, convinced the council that there was enough evidence to proceed with.

PROF.BOODIN IN CHAPEL
Discussed Four Tendencies in Modern Thought.
Prof. J. E. Boodin of the department of philosophy spoke in chapel this morning on "Some Tendencies of Modern Thinking."
"The first tendency," said Professor Boodin, "is the energetic modern art demands motion and action, and this is reflected in all phases of life. The second tendency is the spiritualistic. More confidence is placed in the mind than formerly. Mind is no longer looked on as the decoration but as the essential force in our life. In modern life there is a strong idealistic tendency. Not since the time of the supremacy of the Hebrews in the world's thought has there been so much attention given to the importance of ideals. There is a great awakening in public conscience. A fourth tendency is the socialistic. We stand and fall together. Individualism counts for nothing in the world's progress."

WILL RAISE FUND FOR SICK STUDENT
A SUBSCRIPTION PAPER IS OPENED AT Y. M. C. A.
Harvey Powell, Who Entered University With $15, Dangerously Ill With Typhoid Fever.
A month ago Harvey G. Powell, left his home at Leroy and came to Lawrence to enter the School of Engineering at the University. He had fifteen dollars in his pocket. That money and the determination to work his way through school constituted his entire capital. He enrolled in the freshman class.
Today the young student lies in the University hospital, making a fight for life against typhoid fever. He is not a member of the Hospital association. With only $15 in money when he entered the University, he could not afford to pay the low membership fee. He is at present being cared for by the University. His parents are poor and Mrs. Powell, who is here to be near her son, is being taken care of by some kind-hearted Lawrence people.
Some students and faculty members who met Powell in his classes in engineering have started to raise a subscription fund to defray the expenses which his illness has made necessary. All students who are willing to help an unfortunate fellow-student are asked to add to this fund.
The subscription list will be charge of the University Y. M. C A. at the headquarters at Myers hall.
A POLITICAL ROW.
President of Junior Class Has Trouble Over Appointment.
Trouble broke out today in the faction of the junior class which elected Arch McKinnon to the presidency of the class at the election last Friday,—trouble over the division of the spoils. At a meeting Sunday morning at which representatives of the Beta, Phi Delt, and Phi Psi fraternities and the German club were present, the question of filling the appointive positions of the class was discussed.
It is claimed by the Phi Delts that McKinnon agreed to make "Ike" Lambert, a Phi Delt, one of the managers of the junior prom. This morning, so Lambert's supporters say, McKinnon told Lambert that he had reconsidered and was going to appoint Donald McKay a Beta to the position.
In a conversation with a Kansasan reporter today, President McKinnon refused at first to say anything about the matter except that the appointments would not be made public until Thursday. Later he admitted that McKay was one of the appointees as junior manager.
