LAID TO REST
Public Speakers Are Planning on Defeating the Tiger This Winter.
DEBATERS,GET BUSY!
The Debating squad met yesterday afternoon at four thirty with Prof. G. A. Gesell, head of the public speaking department, in Fraser hall to discuss the second try-out Dec. 12 and the chances for winning the debates in which the University will engage this year. "It is time for the University to get on the map in debate," Mr. Gesell said, "We can much better afford to lose football games to the Tigers because Missouri has won the last eight debates while our record on the gridiron is excellent. It's the same way with Oklahoma, we have never lost but one football game to them while every other year they win the debate. We must get busy."
Long Chapel Wednesday.
On account of the Thanksgiving vacation, the regular long chapel on Friday will be held tomorrow. Rev. E. E. Stauffer, pastor of the Lawrence Lutheran church, will speak.
Church Was Crowded to Doors With Friends of the Athlete
Tommy Johnson's funeral was held Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the Congregational church. The church was crowded to the doors with friends and admirers of the great athlete. Myriads of flowers sent from over the entire state of Kansas were banked over the casket and the chancel railing. Reverend Elderkin, who preached the funeral sermon, spoke highly off Tommy's life and his squareness in all walks of life.
The honorary pall bearers chosen from the faculty of the University were as follows: Chancellor Strong, Dean J. W. Green, Registrar G. O. Foster. Prof. C. E. McClung, Prof. H. A. Rice, Dr. James Naismith, Coach R. W. Sherwin and W. O. Hamilton. The active pall bearers were: Edmund Rhodes, Frank Foncannon, C. F. Squires, Prof. Olney, Jay Bond and Charles Woodbury. The ushers, chosen from members of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity were: Charles Robinson, Harry Allphine, Nelson Stephens, Orville Warner James Leidigh and Russell Clark. Interment was in Oak Hill cemetery.

Authority on Civil Engineering Will Visit Kansas Next Week Under Aupices of Sigma
Prof. George F. Swain, head of the civil engineering department of the Graduate School of Applied Science of Harvard University will give two illustrated lectures in the chapel of Fraser hall next week.
The first lecture will be given Monday night, December 4 at eight o'clock on "The Quebec Bridge and Its Fall, the Greatest Engineering Disaster of Recent Times."
Prof. Swain comes under the auspices of Sigma Xi and from here he will go to the University of Missouri and then to Washington University in St. Louis.
The second lecture will be Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 on the "Relation of Forests to Stream Flow, or the Importance of Forest Conservation."
Professor Swain has had wide experience in engineering and forest conservation and is considered an authority on these subjects. He has written many articles for publication and many times has been called before congressional committees at Washington as an expert. He was professor of engineering in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology until he went to Harvard University.
He is a member of a great many technical societies and commissions among which are The National Conservation Commission, The American Forestry Association. The International Society for the Testing of Materials, The Institute of Civil Engineering of Great Britain. He has been vice president of the American Society of Civil Engineering and is now the president of the Engineering Educational Society.
Society The illustrated lectures which he gives here will be of a nontechnical nature and will not only be instructive but extremely interesting. All students are invited to attend. Admission will be free.
SHE AND HE AND IT
And The Wind Wasn't Altogeth er An Ill Wind, Either.
She had left Fraser and was walking along west of the Library when a mean little gust of wind blew off her hat. He coming from Green hall started in pursuit of the rebellious hat, but it, being of the "peach basket" type, went rolling over the campus at a rapid gait. He stooped to pick It up several times, but the fleeting hat always eluded his grasp. He started to step on It once, but the wind was kinder to the pretty little hat now and increased its velocity.
The hat continued on its eventful journey until It reached the gutter in the street, where the high curbing ended its career as a runaway hat. He picked up the unruly hat, brushed the sand off of It, and carried It carefully back to Her. This time She pinned it more securely. Then They walked on down the street.
Virginian to Lecture in February
Virginian to Lecture in February The University has made arrangements with C. Alphonso Smith, of the Department of English at the University of Virginia, to give a series of lectures here during the week commencing February 19. This is the regular course of lectures which the University furnishes every year.
NO SUPPORT FOR
FOOTBALL BANQUET
Y. M. Will Not Undertake the Banquet—Student Body Failed to Support Last Year.
There will be no Y. M. C. A. banquet for the football team this year. This annual affair has been called off on account of the lack of support of the student body. Daddy Herman, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., who has charge of the affair in preceding years said this morning, "It will be necessary to call off the banquet this year on account of lack of student support. Last year we lost money on the deal and did not feel as if we could run the risk of another failure. Part of those who did attend last year bought tickets under duress, not wishing to see the banquet an entire failure and we do not want this sort of attendance again this year. If the students would "come in" we would be only too glad to furnish the hall and go to the work of getting up the feed, but under present conditions this is impossible."
THE DOG HOUSE HAS GONE
The Beauty Barometer Was Forced to Leave The Hill.
No more chapel time breakfasts for the late risers, no more hamburgers, cream pie, and chocolates for the fusser and his lass, no more chicken pies and fruit salads for the between meals pieces. The Oread Cafe—Billie's—The Dog House—has quit. The little box that sits over on the east edge of the campus in front of Fraser has been one of the traditions of the University for the past twelve years. It was the official gossip house of the University. It was the beauty barometer of the hill, for in years when the co-eds were pretty, business was always rushing for the host of Billie's. More dates have been made and "cases" sealed over the counter at Billie's than at any other one place in Lawrence.
The Oread Cafe was established in 1900 when Wm. Reynolds, a former student, set up a lunch wagon on the location of the present shop. It was first called the "Eatmobile." The establishment was a success from the start and Reynolds soon built the present building. The place took the name of Billie's from its owner. Later Reynolds moved to Oklahoma and the place has since been run by Mrs. H. L. Beatty. She lived in the building and served a regular breakfast and dinner, but her greatest trade was short order. She held no time lease on the property and was forced to move because the owner of the land desired to put it to other uses. She will quit the business for good and the building will be moved off within thirty days.
CIDER AND PUMPKIN PIE
Lollification Planned For Those Who Remain During Holidays
For the benefit of those who can not go home for the Thanksgiving holidays the Y. M. C. A has arranged a "blow out" in Myer's hall for next Thursday night. There will be an apple roast before a large open fire lots of cider and pumpkin pie and all intermingled with college songs and stories. "Dad" Herman has charge of the affair and under his direction a good time is assured to all. This will be a boon to those who can not spend Thanksgiving with "the folks' and in all probability a big bunch will attend.
Report of Missouri Game.

ENGINEER WANTS TWENTY STUDENTS
WILL MAKE EFFICIENCY
TEST OF POWER PLANT
Mr. Heat'on of Wichita Says Men With Technical Education Best For His Work
H. C. Heaton, engineer in charge of the construction of a big power plant at Wichita, was in Lawrence yesterday trying to procure twenty students from the School of Engineering to make the final efficiency test of the plant. He consulted with Dean Marvin and Professor Shaad and Walker of the Engineering faculty and if minor details can be arranged students from the advanced classes in the Electrical and Mechanical departments of the School of Engineering will make the trip.
"I much prefer students from technical schools to any other men that are procurable for the responsible position in my line of work," said Mr. Heaton. "In my opinion men with a technical education are better prepared to do the work required of them than those who are not graduates of such institutions."
The plant at Wichita is being built for the Kansas Gas and Electric Co., by Sargent and Lindy, construction engineers of Chicago. The plant will furnish light and power for Wichita, including power for the street railway system. The test will be started next week and will require at least ten days' time. If the student make the trip, some member of the faculty will accompany them.
Student Council Withdraws Freshmen Cap Edict.
FRESHMEN ARE HAPPY
Freshmen will feel considerably relieved to hear that the Men's Student Council has withdrawn its edict in regard to Freshmen caps. At a meeting of the Council last week it was decided that the near approach of winter was sufficient grounds for allowing the first year men to get out their fur caps and to allow them to wear them without fear of their coming to bodily harm.
The order of the Council holds good only during the winter months and with the opening of spring "postage stamps" will again be much in vogue among the men who are sojourning here for the first time.
SNOW SHOE RACE
Kansas Entered in Cross Country
Race Thursday
While the present cold wave is not the most pleasant weather for cross country running, the University will send its crosscountry team to Kansas City Thursday to compete in the annual Thanksgiving run given by the Kansas City Athletic Club. "We haven't purchased any snow shoes for the boys but they will enter the race anyway," Coach Hamilton said today.
The men who will run for Kansas are Patterson, Murray, Hartman, L. E. Brown and Stark. They will run some of the best runners in the west.
Friars Elect Eight.
At a meeting of the Friars last night at the Keltz club eight members of the kelton class were voted into membership. They are: Henry Laffer, J. W. Schwab, W. A. Buzick, Milton Minor, Richard Ward, John Sterling, U. A. Gribble and George Marsh.
Carl Becker, professor of European History, has a book review in the last number of The Dial, a monthly magazine published in Chicago.
