PHARMICS RECEIVE
$500 FOR NEW BOOKS
THE GIFT IS MADE BY PARKE
DAVIS & CO.
Dean L. E. Sayre, of the School of Pharmacy, received word yesterday of a $500 donation to the pharmaceutical library, from Parke, Davis & Co., a firm of manufacturing chemists, at Detroit, Mich.
Amount Will Be Used in Binding Books for the Pharmaceutical Library.
In the May 29, '07 edition of The Kansas, mention was made of a donation to the library of the School of Pharmacy, consisting of medical and pharmaceutical works to the value of $2,500. This donation came to the school through Dean Sayre's friends, Parke. Davis & Co.
Since that time the same firm has been sending to add to this library the unbound current volumes of various medical and pharmaceutical journals, as collected from time to time all over the country. Prof. H. W. Emerson has been, during the past year preparing this accession of unbound volumes for the bindery, but the funds appropriated by the state having become exhausted, it seemed that the binding of these volumes would be delayed for several months.
It was necessary, however, to get this gift at once into convenient and presentable condition,and through the generosity of the Parke, Davis Co.,this has been made possible. Professor Sayre has been advised that this firm will donate a sum of money sufficient to bind the volumes already on hand, about 350 in number. It is expected that the donation will amount to something over $500.

ENTERTAINS SIGMA XI.
Dean Sayre, Society's President,
Apts as Host.
Dean L. E. Sayre, of the School of Pharmacy, who is president of the Sigma Xi honorary fraternity, entertained the officers and newly elected members of the society and their wives at his residence at 1323 Ohio street, last evening. The reception was in honor both of the new members and Dean Sayre's birthday.
Dean Sayre spoke of the aims of the organization. He said that one of the chief objects of the society was to emphasize the social side of life and to bring the men engaged in scientific research in contact with their neighbors, since scientists are apt to be rather re-eluse in their tendencies.
Prof. C. E. McClung, who was a delegate to the National Committee of the society, which met at Detroit a few days ago, reported on the committee's work and stated that there was a tendency in the society to bring about a greater stimulus for research work and to honor those who have been industrious in this field. The remainder of the evening was devoted to social functions.

REGENTS MEET SATURDAY
TO MAKE ESTIMATES.
New Buildings and Growth of Departments Make Increased Appropriations Necessary.
A meeting of the Board of Regents of the University has been called for next Saturday, to consider the report which will be made to the state auditor concerning the appropriations for the University for the next bennium.
Chancellor Strong has been busy all week on the problem of the budget, to get the various estimates in such shape that the regents may act upon them Saturday. The meeting will be the most important of the year, since it will affect the course of University affairs for two years to come.
On account of the expansion of the University, the appropriation which will be asked from the next legislature will be the largest in the history of the institution. The general maintenance fund will be larger than ever before. New buildings will be necessary to take care of the increase in enrollment.
It is proposed to enlarge the scope of the work done by the School of Medicine, the School of Education, and the departments of home economics, University extension, and journalism, and increased appropriations will be needed to make the changes possible.

Friends of Powell in Hoisington, who sent $100 directed that the amount not used of their subscription be sent to the Powell family in Leroy. The rest of the fund, $233.08 that has not been used, will be placed in the hands of the University treasurer to be used in other cases which may arise.

The Finals Tomorrow.
A HUNDRED HAVE JOINED
And "Fighting 500" Is Growing Rapidly.
The campaign for the "Fighting 500" is meeting with marked success. More than one hundred names have been secured for the organization.
The real work for the "500" will not be started until the first of next week when the excitement over the Cornhusker game will have subsided. Indications are that the required number of names will be easily secured.
Many questions are bing asked as to whether tickets in the "500" section can be purchased for friends who will be at the game from other parts of the state. It is the purpose to have only K. U. rooters in this section in order to have the rooting united. It is thought that there are five hundred men in school who will be willing to sit there. If that number can not be secured, then the section will be thrown open to oth ers than the University rooters.

The question which will be debated with Oklahoma this year was received yesterday by Prof. G. A. Gesell, head of the department of public speaking.

Seventeenth Annual Football Game Nebraska=Kansas McCook Field, Saturday, November 5th
KENNEDY'S MEN IN GOOD CONDITION
Game called at 2:30 p. m.
Reserved seats $1.50, now on sale in Fraser Hall and at Smith's News Depot. Owners of Student Enterprise Tickets may reserve seats by the payment of 50 cents for each seat.
General admission, no seats guaranteed, $1.00. The Student Enterprise Tickets are still a good investment. Many more should be sold before the Nebraska game.
TO PLAY OFF TIE WITH CORNHUSKERS SATURDAY.
Nebraskans Also in Fine Form Will Bring Many Rooters to See the Game.
Can Johnson and Heil output Warner and Frank?
Can the Kansas line hold firm against the terrible charges of the redoubtable Nebraska tackles? Can Ammons and Woodbury carry the ball as consistently as Temple and Shonka, the Cornhusker groundgrainers?
Upon the answers to these questions depends the outcome of the seventeenth annual football battle between Kansas and Nebraska on McCook field Saturday.
And while the answers are not clearly apparent, this is the straight "dope:" The Kansas coaches and rooters and players believe they can beat Nebraska. The team will go into a game for which it has been specially preparing for two months, with the men in good condition. Except for the fact that the Nebraska team unquestionably has more veterans on it, it is impossible to see where the Cornhuskers have any edge over Coach Kennedy's men. Both teams will go into the game in the pink of condition, though Kennedy said this morning that another week of preparation would have been better for the Kansas team.
Both teams realize that the game which will play off the tie in the football record of the two schools will be the hardest fought of recent years, and neither is entertaining any delusions as to the strength of its opponent. The Nebraska team especially is being guarded against the over confidence which contributed to its defeat in the past two years.
Coach Mose said today that there is a possibility that Tommy Johnson will not last the game out. An X-ray examination has shown that his hand is broken. "He probably can't last more then ten minutes." said Mose.
An interesting feature of the Saturday's battle is the fact that it will be the eighth contest in which Coach Kennedy will have taken part in the contest against Nebraska. In '95, '96, and '97, he played in games against them. In '06, '07, '08, and '09, he coached the teams which went against Nebraska. In all the seven games the Nebraskans won but two, in '97 and 07. So ,while Nebraska has won eight of the sixteen games against Kansas, Kennedy has been defeated only twice.
The closing scrimmage of the week was held on MeCook field last night against the Haskell Indians. A number of the plays that will be used in the game Saturday were tried out with good effect.
At Nebraska the students are holding mass meetings and torch light processions in preparation for the game. The students there are working to bring as many rooters as possible to Lawrence to back their team in the contest.
