THE UNIVERSITY KANSAN.
VOLUME VII.
PROVISION MADE FOR ONE BOARD
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1911
PRESENT REGENTS LOSE OFFICE IN JULY.
Under New Law All the State Schools Are Under Same Government—Stubbs May Veto.
The Keene bill provides for one Board of Regents for all state institutions to consist of three members who shall have complete charge of all affairs. They are to devote all of their time to the work and are to receive a salary of $2,500 per year. The new board will take up its duties on July 1, 1911, after which the severa, Boards of Regents now controlling the institutions shall cease to exist. The board will have offices in the state house at Topeka, and will meet regularly each month as well as at all other times that shall be necessary.
By concurring in the house bill, the senate yesterday made provision for one board of control for all of the state institutions. A week ago the house passed the Keene bill for the establishment of this board and there was some surprise when the senate concurred in passing the bill yesterday, as that body had killed a similar bill last week.
Senators Brady, Cambern,Stannard and Potter led the fight against the bill, but the final roll call showed a vote of 22 votes for the bill and 16 against it.
There is an unconfirmed rumor that Governor Stubbs will veto the bill.
PROM COMMITTEE REPORTS
Chancellor Will Not Insist on His Ruling.
NUMBER 64
The junior class committee composed of Robert Lee, George Stucky, and Brownie Angle, who were to wait on the Chancellor in regard to the time of closing the Junior Prom, report that the event will probably be allowed to run its course, but that an effort will be made to close the event as soon after 3 o'clock as possible. Before any definite action can be taken in the matter a class meeting will have to be called at which the actions of the committee must be sanctioned. This meeting will be called in the near future.
Time Limit Set.
All those who intend trying out for the tennis team must have their matches played by Saturday. This is the time limit set for the completion of the indoor schedule. Owing to the fact that quite a number, of players have been unable to obtain the court in the gymnasium during their vacant hours, it has been further provided that from now on it is optional with the contestants whether they play their matches on the indoor court or on an outdoor court. As previously stated, however, the final scores must be handed in to Dr. Naismith or Howard Richardson, chairman of the tennis committee, by Saturday at the latest. The eight having the highest percentages of victories will be given places on the squad.
WILL DEBATE AT HARVARD
Frank Tyler Has Won a Place on Team.
Frank E. Tyler, of Clifton, who graduated from the University in 1908, has won a place on the Harvard Debating Team of six men. Three of these men will debate with Yale. Twenty-seven Harvard debaters contested the first tryout.
He was a member of the team that defeated Missouri seven years ago at Columbia. This is the last time Kansas has won a debate from Missouri. When Tyler graduated from the University, two years ago, he took the position of principal of the Abilene high school. He gave up this work to enter the Harvard Law School this year.
KANSAS VICTORY IS PREDICTED
COACH HAMILTON BELIEVES IT IS AN EVEN BREAK.
The Dope Favors Kansas in Tomorrow's Meet—Missouri May Have Some Surprises.
Tomorrow afternoon twenty-four track athletes, accompanied by Coach Hamilton and an enthusiastic bunch of rooters, will travel to Kansas City, where they will meet the Tigers for the eighth time in an indoor meet at Convention hall.
The team will leave on the special train at 1:45 o'clock and as soon as the men arrive at the Contes house in Kansas City they will at once retire to rest for the races in the evening. The first
in-door victory have never looked brighter than at present and the dope that has been deduced from the records made by the individuals on the two teams that will compete Friday night give the advantage to the Kansas athletes.
According to the rope the short runs and the hurdles will be won by Kansas, and the distance events will go to Missouri. However Coach Hamilton has a new man in the two-mile race to compete against Steele, who promises at least to make that veteran run his best race. Osborne has not had a great deal of experience however, in big races. In the 50-yard dash "Bobby" Roberts is expected to take the place of Haddock and win first place for the Kansas squad. The Woodbury brothers are booked to win the hurdles. However, Catron, the man who runs the low sticks for the Tiger team, promises to push
WILL FRENCH.
PLAY TIE OFF HERE.
CAPTAIN HAMILTON.
Washburn and Baker May De-
cide Disputed Title.
Prof. P. F. Walker of the School of Engineering will speak before the Mechanical Engineering society this afternoon at 4:45 in Marvin hall. His subject will be "The Propelling Machinery of Ships."
Prof. Walker to Speak.
According to Coach Scherer of Baker University, there may be a game of basket-ball between the Baker five and the goal tossers at Washburn on the floor of Robinson gymnasium. Some time ago the Methodists won from Washburn and then later in the season were defeated by the Congregationalists. It was felt by the Bakerites that they were defeated under adverse circumstances and accordingly a challenge has been sent to Manager Driver asking for a third game to be played or the court at this University. If the game is scheduled, special trains will be run from both colleges here and we may expect to see some exciting times.
Woodbury and Captain Hamilton to the limit. In the quarter mile Bermond should win, and the half mile, mile, and two-mile events are also conceded to the Tigers.
Ammons has a good chance to take the first place in putting the sixteen-pound weight this year. He has been showing exceptional form in putting the shot and the Anderson brothers will be forced to throw the shot forty feet to defeat him.
Ever since this athletic relation with Missouri was assumed the Tigers have succeeded in defeating the Jayhawkers in the meet at the big hall and this year the rooters and dopsters at the University think that the change will come and that the squad that Coach Hamilton has chosen to make the trip to Kansas City Friday afternoon will tie the first knot in the Tiger's tail. In the last two years, several premier athletes have entered the University and as a result the standard of the track team has improved, and they have succeeded in defeating the Missouri squad in the out-door meet for the last two years. The prospects for the first
race, the fifty-yard dash, will be started at 8:15, and from that time the battle will continue till the relay race is run. What the result of the meet will be may be known only then. Both of the teams are confident of the victory and it is thought that this year the result of the meet will be closer than it has ever been in years past. None of the points are by any means made certain for either school and each event promises to be a fight to the finish.
In the high jump French will probably be pushed over six feet to leave the Tiger leaper, Nicholson, who has gone 5 feet, 10 inches, out of the running.
Coach W. O. Hamilton affirms that Kansas will win the meet, but he qualifies his statement with the stipulation that we enter the meet with an even break of the luck. "I think that the time has come for the Jayhawkers to take the lead in this indoor meet, and we stand the best chance of winning that we ever had in the history of the school. However, none of the events are certain for either school. I am not willing to concede anything to Missouri, and I don't see how they can concede anything to us."
COMMITTEE REPORTS ON APPROPRIATION
ACCEPTS HOUSE BILL WITHOUT AMENDMENTS.
Refuses to Grant the $50,000 for Hospital—Both Houses Act on Bill This Afternoon.
That the original house bill providing for the University appropriation for the next biennium will be accepted by the state legislature is almost a certainty. This afternoon the conference committee, composed of members from both houses, reached a conclusion and reported that they had accepted the house bill without any amendments. This bill is practically the same as that of the senate with the exception of the $50,000 for the hospital at Rosedale, which the senate provided. In general the bill allows the following appropriations: General maintenance for
1912 ... $413,820
General maintenance for
1913...$428,350
This allowance together with the various appropriations for upkeep, geological survey and other things brings the grand total for the biennium to $1,019,370. The bill provides for the return of laboratory fees to the University authorities.
Both houses will act on the report of the committee this afternoon and it is expected that the bill will be passed as recommended.
The $42,000 that was appropriated at the last biennium for the Administration building but never used because the material was not on the ground at the time the appropriation expired, was reappropriated for use in the construction of the new building.
KAPPAS WILL MOVE.
