THE UNIVERSITY KANSAN.
VOLUME VII.
NUMBER 84
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, APRIL 27.1911
ALL ENTRIES MADE IN SATURDAY MEET
FRESHMEN AND JUNIORS EXPECT TO WIN.
From all present indications many University records will be broken by the class athletes in the interclass track and field meet Saturday afternoon on McCook field. Several men in the University have made marks in practice that are superior to those of the University records and only a favorable day is necessary to make possible a brilliant line of records.
Management Believes That Many Records Will be Broken in Interclass Meet.
Last year, the victory of the meet went to the first year men by a large score, but this Saturday the captains of the other teams say that the tyros will have to work hard for all they get and that they will do well to obtain any of the firsts. The contest for places in the hurdle races and in the 220 yard dash, the quarter mile, and the half mile will be close. It is expected that the records in some of these events will be broken and all the classes are trying to place in the finals. For the first year men, Perry, Hazen, Jones, and Hendriekson will run the hurdles; Sterling and Hesse will run for the sophomores; the Woodburys, French, and D. Davis will handle the sticks for the junior class and Parker and Hamilton will start for the seniors.
The places in the broad jump belongs to the class that makes the best showing this week. The men have not been working very long on this event and the prospects of the performance in the long jump are not good. The competition in the pole vault will be close. Pike, a freshman who has made his appearance recently, is vaulting ten feet and six inches and Clem Parker went over the bar at eleven feet Thursday afternoon.
The men who have entered for the freshman class are: Hendrickson Jones, Hazen, Cramer, Bower, W. A. Smith, Goldman, Wisdom, Greenlees, Helvern, Hartmen, Bohen, Martin, Keplinger, Moyer, Stockton, Parker, Fackson, Perry, Atkinson, L. L. Smith, H. H. Pike.

BASEBALL TIES WITH M. U.SEVERED
TIGERS DISLIKE OUR VERSION OF THE RULES.
Telegram This Afternoon From C L. Brewer Dispels Last Doubt. Nebraska Approves.
A telegram was received this afternoon by Manager Lansdon from C. L. Brewer, director of Athletics at the University of Missouri, stating that the University of Missouri baseball team would not come to Lawrence under any condition.
This was the final word in the rupture between the two universities regarding baseball connections. The games with the Tigers which were to have been played on Friday and Saturday of this week will not be played.
Yesterday evening the statement was made that probably the games would be cancelled with Missouri, but the final settlement of the difficulty did not come until this afternoon, when Manager Brewer of Missouri received advice from Columbia to the effect that he must not bring the team here.
This break in the baseball connections between the schools comes as the result of the decision of the athletic management of Missouri to disapprove the action of Kansas Athletic Board and faculty council in disregarding the ruling of the Missouri Valley conference upon the eligibility of the players. After the action of the Athletic Board had been confirmed by the University Council Dr. C. E. McClung sent letters to the other members of the council explaining our position in baseball and stating that those rules were the only way in which we could certify our men as eligible. The management at Nebraska replied commending the University very highly upon our taking the initiative and making the change, but Tuesday morning Dr. McClung received a telegram from Dr. Manlay of the University of Missouri saying that since the contract for the baseball games with them had been made under the conference rules, the two institutions could not agree to suspend the rules.
Dr. McClung said yesterday afternoon, "It was exactly the result that I expected when I sent out the letters describing our alterations in the eligibility regulations."
George Brown, a junior engineer from Pleasanton, has been pledged by the Pi Upsilon fraternity.
PETITIONS ARE SCARCE
Must Be In By Six Tomorrow Evening.
The petitions for members and officers of the Student Council are slow in being filled out. Two petitions have been handed in for the office of president—those of Hal Harlan and Arch McKinnon. Albert Lemoine and Elmer Manglesdorf are circulating petitions for secretary and John Johnson and Earl Miller are now having petitions circulated for the position of vice-president.
The following men are in the running in the College: Carl Krehbeil, William Buzick, Harry Weaver, George Stuckey, Elmer Dittmar, Asher Hobson, Everett Brummage, and Jesse Gephart.
In the Pharmacy school, Ernest Smith and Harold Bradley are candidates. R. Lee Hoffman and Ralph Campbell are candidates in the School of Medicine.
From the Law school, George Beezley, Burton Sears and Charles Dolde are the only candidate at present. Karl Riddle and Harry Becker and Roy Finney are circulating petitions in the Engineering school.
According to a ruling of the Student Council each candidate must deposit with the president of the council the sum of fifty cents to defray the election expenses. Unless this sum is paid the names will not be placed upon the official ballot. The candidates are requested to attend to this matter before Friday.
No petitions for any of the offices will be received after 6.00 p.m.
m. tomorrow.
Professor Zueblin in Chapel.
"Industrial Education" will be the subject of Professor Zueblin's address in chapel tomorrow morning. "I am in hearty sympathy with Governor Stubbs' plan for a larger amount of vocational training in schools," said Professor Zueblin yesterday. "The education which trains the mind without training the hand and eye is only half an education."
The Pi Upsilon fraternity celebrated its second annual Founders day with a banquet at the fraternity house last evening. Initiation was held for Gordon Bailey and Insley Dayhoff. The out of town guests were Bishop Sheldon M. Griswold, Salina; Leo Bozell, Beloit; William Fleason, Sterling; and Virgil McCarty, Kansas City.
The lecture by Prof. Zueblin will be at four o'clock instead of four-thirty on Friday on account of the Junior Prom.
NO MORE SMOKING IN K.U.BUILDINGS
REGENTS WILL ASK AID OF STUDENT COUNCIL
Because State Buildings Carry No Insurance And Risk of Fire is Serious—Regents Act.
The death blow to all smoking in University buildings was given by the Board of Regents yesterday afternoon, when by passing a resolution asking the Student Council to co-operate with them in preventing smoking in all University buildings the lid was formally put on. Last spring the chancellor ordered all smoking in the buildings and approaches of buildings to cease. The new regulation was observed only in part as the students in the law school have continued the practice and many of the faculty members have continued to smoke in their laboratories. Last year also many students were seen smoking at the Junior Prom and cigarette smoking has been carried on in a stealthy way in the gymnasium this year.
No state buildings carry insurance and the recent serious losses in other states have aroused the regents to the gravity of the situation.
If the Student Council co-operates with the regents in this new movement, no smoking whatever in any of the University buildings will be allowed to continue.
Other business transacted yesterday by the board of regents include the decision of the regents to continue the same university fellowships next year as this, but the names of the successful applicants will not be announced until the end of the year.
On account of lack of funds the museum will not be open to the public on holidays and Sundays as is required by a late state law. A committee consisting of Foley, Elward, and Kimball, was appointed to visit the state fish hatcheries at Pratt and report the result of their investigations to the board.
The bid for the heating plant at the University hospital at Rosedale was opened yesterday but action was deferred.
The budget was not disposed of yesterday.
Sherwin Made a Professor.
At the meeting of the Board of Regents yesterday, R. W. Sherwin, who has been selected to direct the football and baseball teams of the University, was made a member of the department of Education.
