MILITARY COMPANY RECEIVED WARNING
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1911
NUMBER 65
BREACHES OF DISCIPLINE MAY BE PUNISHED.
Captain Shifler Sends Letters to Members of Company Reminding Them of Their Duty.
The actions of certain of the members of the K. N. G. military company have led to a warning by C. R. Shiffler, captain of the company that their conduct may cause some fines to be assessed if the offenses are not discontinued and may eventually lead to a dish honorable discharge from the company. This last penalty carries with it the loss of all rights of citizenship under the United States government.
The breaches of discipline with which the soldiers are charged include absence from drill with out cause and the wearing of the uniforms to down town dances. The erring soldier is liable to a fine of from $1 to $5 for the first offense and from $2 to $10 for the second.
"Any enlisted man seen wearing or using government property other than on drill nights or when occasion demands it shall be investigated by the courts and a fine of from $2 to $10 be imposed." In both the above cases perseverence in the offense may lead to a dishonorable discharge from the company."
Some of the members of the military company have been absent from drill without good cause and are apparently not aware that they are dealing with the United States government.
About twenty men received letters from Captain Shifler yesterday urging them to be careful not to disgrace the uniform of the soldier.
The fact that a large number of reserve troops are at present being ordered to the Mexican border, further complicates matters for the University company would probably be the first of the reserve troops to go from Kansas.
PANORAMA COMPLETED
Prof. Dyche Is Puzzling Over Method of Labeling.
Two more groups are yet to be added to the panorama in the natural history museum, and it will then be completed. These two groups are Alaskan sheep and the musk ox. In addition to these two main groups, many smaller and less important animals will be added.
Professor Dyche, who has charge of this work, is undecided yet as to how he will label this strange collection. About the best plan that he has thought of so far is to have small photographs of the various divisions taken and the names printed on these. The photographs are there to be placed around the panorama. This plan will save the beauty of the scene and will in no way inconvenience the spectators.

NEED FOR LEADERS.
Professor Cope Discussed Ideal of Life.
What many students considered one of the best chapel speeches of the year was given yesterday morning by Professor Henry F. Cope of Chicago, secretary of the National Religious Educational association on the subject of the need for efficient leaders. Having frequently heard that state universities are godless and irreligious institutions, the speaker addressed himself vigorously to that statement. He maintained that a state university must inevitably be a religious institution whether it is conscious of it or not.
"To get our feet upon the facts of this life rather than the fancies of another life, is the first element which the state university should contribute to the training of leaders," said Professor Cope. "We owe a religious obligation to our day and we begin to discharge it when we get our feet on the facts of life."
"Good habits are contagious and can be obtained just as truly, and I believe a little easier than bad habits. Are you fit to live, not are you ready to die is the most important question," said Professor Cope. "The most religious prayer that a man can make is that he may be something. It is a great thing to recognize the possibility of being more and more useful to his fellow men."
"What is your motive for attending this University?" continued Professor Cope. "Are you seeking professional training merely that you may exploit the public? Are you seeking a life on Easy street? If you consider this world an orange to be sucked by you, you will find that it will hand you a citrus of a different variety."
In closing Professor Cope said that students should want to have something worth giving to the world. The leaders of the world are those who have come that others may have life and have it more abundantly.
The Good Government club met Wednesday evening at the Sigma Chi house and elected eleven new members. These mer will be initiated at the Beta house on Thursday, March 23.

Golf Club Notice.
RELAY WON MEET FOR THE TIGERS
All members are requested to keep daily score cards and turn them in to the secretary to serve as data for estimating the handicaps for the April meet.
IN CLOSE CONTEST MISSOURI WON 451/2 TO 391/2.
In Brilliant Meet Full of Surprises, Jayhawkers Lost for Eighth Consecutive Time.
In one of the hardest fights that has ever been witnessed in Convention hall at Kansas City the Kansas track team lost the eighth annual indoor meet to the strong Missouri squad last night, when the relay, the deciding factor of the meet, resulted in a victory for the Tiger team. The final score was $45\frac{1}{2}$ to $39\frac{1}{2}$. The excitement of the rooters during the last lap of the relay has never been exceeded in any previous contest of any nature whatever between the two schools. Before this last race the score was: Missouri $40\frac{1}{2}$, Kansas $39\frac{1}{2}$.
Kansas took the lead at the first event of the evening when 'Bobby' Roberts won the 50- yard dash. Missouri took second in this event.
Johnson, the tall marathoner of the Tiger team, evened the score by winning the mile run. Watson wormed Steele out of second place in the finish. The first surprise of the evening camo when Nicholson took the first place in the high hurdles for the Tigers. C. Woodbury jumped the gun on the start and was set back one yard. Hamilton won the second place in the quarter mile, finishing five yards behind Bermond, who won the race in 53 and 3.5 seconds.
In the two-mile run, Fisher took second place and Steele won first, time 10.7. Osborne took the lead at the start of the race and ran the first quarter mile almost in quarter mile time. Johnson, who ran with Steele, made several attempts to go to the second place and set the pace, but Fisher out sprinted him at every attempt keeping him at his elbow for several laps of the race. Toward the end of the first mile Steele moved up to the second place and tried to take the lead from Osborne, but after he had succeeded in obtaining the lead Osborne sprinted and left him behind. Before the first half of the second mile Steele again took the lead and maintained it to the end of the race. Osborne was forced to quit. Fisher beat Johnson on the final spurt and took second.
Anderson of Missouri took first place in the shot put and Ammons second.
C. Woodbury won the pole vault at 10 feet six inches, and Parker of Kansas and Stevens of Missouri tied for second place In an exhibition, Woodbury then cleared the bar at 11 feet, thus breaking the indoor record French was forced only to five feet and nine inches to defeat his opponent. He then tried to break his old record in Convention hall, made last year in the K.C.A.C invitation, but failed.
The expectations of the Kansas rooters were fulfilled when the Woodbury brothers won both places in the low hurdles. These eight points increased the Kansas score to $39\frac{1}{2}$ points and the
result of the meet hung on the relay race.
Catron won the toss and took his place at the pole, but on the first curve of the track H. Woodbury forged ahead and maintained a slight lead for the entire distance. Black kept the lead that he received from Woodbury and on the last straightaway increased it slightly. G. Smith ran the race for Kansas that promised to win the meet. He increased the lead to fifteen yards and the final struggle of the evening lay between Captain Hamilton and Bermond of the Tiger team. Hamilton maintained his lead over the crack quarter miler for the first two laps, but on the third and last time around the track Bermond swiftly closed the distance between himself and his opponent and on the final stretch sprinted ahead and finished easily.
The summary of the reet is:
50-yard dash—Roberts, Kansas, first; Catron, Missouri, second. Time—53-5.
One mile run—Johnson, Missouri first; Watson, Kansas, second. Time=4:33.4.

Reporter's Notes.
The box that Bermond and Johnson formed to put Patterson out of the half mile race was almost perfect.
Kansas showed herself to be the superior in the short dashes and field events with thirty and one-half points, while Missouri took only seventeen and one-half points.
Bermond, the brilliant quartermiler of the Tiger squad, won the most points for the Missouri team, with firsts in the quarter mile,and half mile. It was his fast race as the end of the relay that won the meet.
