At the mass meeting Friday evening all students will have an opportunity to purchase copies of "The Kansas Spirit," the new instrumental piece that Director Wright of the band has composed and dedicated to the loyal rooters at K. U. This music is sure to make a popular hit, because is has interwoven in it the music of old-time University songs, as well as the newer songs that have been used here only this year. The band will have only a limited number of the new pieces struck off and students that wish copies will do well of sign for them at the earliest opportunity. The money made from the sale will go toward paying the expenses of the band to Lincoln for the Nebraska game. The band is an indispensible part of the aggregation that makes the trip to the Cornhusker stronghold, and heretofore popular subscriptions have been taken from the students to pay part of the band's expenses. This year Director Wright has arranged a way for all students to subscribe a msall amount and get full value for the money. The students should meet the band half way in the matter and buy the new pieces at once.
The Independent, from Missouri University, made the statement the other day that several Tigers of last year bet on Kansas in the Thanksgiving game. Captain Ristine of the Missouri team is manager of the Independent and the statement is probably authentic. The Independent should not go to such length in censuring the players concerned, however. It is deplorable, of course, that the Tiger players have the gambling germ, but given the germ we have always admired the men who could pick the winner. And if the Tiger players had to bet on either side it speaks well for their common sense that they placed their money on Kansas. They played on a losing team as far as Kansas was concerned and they had the judgment to know it and to acknowledge it—the which many Missouri rooters with all their sad experiences in the past have not done.
Harry Kemp, the poet, is to be the principal in a play soon to be given at the University. We hope that Harry will not allow some theatrical manager to entice him from his chosen field of poesy to become a star behind the footlights, provided he creates a sensation with his acting here.

Recital by Wort Morse.
The recital by Prof. Wort Morse, head of the violin department, assisted by Prof. Preyer, was one of the most entertaining recitals yet given by faculty members. Prof. Morse is a musician of great ability and has studied for several years in Germany under great masters. He has studied for some time under Cesar Thompson, the great violinist. The numbers by Prof. Preyer were well received. A large crowd attended the recital.

WANTS LARGER CHORUS.
Professor Hubach Expects to Feature Music This Year.
To Freshman Engineers:
ROWLANDS' COLLEGE BOOK STORE
Besides the music for the regular Sunday services, Prof. Hubach expects to arrange for four large works during the year. "The Holy City" by Gaul, "The Crucifixion," by Stainer, "The Seven Last Words," by Mercadante, and "the Prophet Psalmist," by Henry Farmer.
Prof. C. E. Hubach is making special efforts to make the musical part of the vesper services better than ever this year. To this end he is hoping to secure a chorus of at least seventy-five voices. He is still considerably short of the desired number and is especially desirous of getting more men for the chorus. Those desiring to take part in the music may make arangements at any time with Professor Hubach to have him try out their voices. The first rehearsal will take place at 1:30 Saturday afternoon in the chapel.

MUST SIFT AND CHOOSE
Use Discretion in Selecting Your Friends. Savs Mrs. Sisson.
"We are here to get power in life and anything that will not accomplish this should be done away with," said Mrs. Sisson, in an interesting talk on "The Choice and Cultivation of Friendships," at the regular meeting of the Y. W. C. A., Wednesday afternoon. She emphasized the idea that college is a place for sifting and choosing, and that it is important that we use discretion in the choice of our friends. She urged, also, that the groups in college, organized or unorganized, should make themselves an influence for good and not become too self-centered.
Here to Study Teeth-Birds.
Barnum Brown, of the American Museum of Natural History at New York city, a former University student, was here last week making a study of the cretaceous teeth-birds.
