CONFERENCE MEET MAY BE CHANGED
KANSAS CITY MAY GET THE
CONTEST
Basketball And Baseball Schedule Will be Made—Officials Chosen.
The meeting of managers and coaches of Missouri Valley teams at Kansas City tomorrow may cause a change in the present arrangement of conference track meets. A triangular system of dual meets between Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska, track teams will probably be arranged and schedules will be made for basketball ball and baseball.
"The attendance at Des Moines to the Valley meets has been poor," stated Manager Hamilton yesterday, "and as Missouri and Washington are willing, the meet probably will be taken away from Des Moines. Unless Drake agrees, however, this year's meet will have to be held there since the conference agreed to hold the contests there for three years providing the Iowa schools discontinue their state meet. This is the third year of the compact."
If Kansas City is decided upon as a place for the valley meet Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska will have a track meet each year at their respective schools. Nebraska could come here, Kansas go to Columbia and the Tigers to Lincoln.
This meeting of coaches and referees of the Missouri Valley is due to the initiative of Kansas and several officials have written Manager Hamilton expressing their intention of attending. The purpose of the conference of coaches and officials is to arrive at a definite understanding upon the interpretation to be placed upon rules governing holding, pushing, blocking and dribbling.
Some trouble was experienced last year by coaches and their teams when they attempted to play one style of basketball against opponents who were coached in the opposite extreme. Advantage of rougher methods was allowed by officials and victories were won by unfair means. Six men will be chosen who will officiate at all Missouri Valley Conference games. Those who have signified intentions of attending the conclave are Toutou of Central high school; Hoopes and Harman of Westport high school; Storms and Allen of the Y. M. C. A.; Ashley of the K. C. A. C.; Hoover of Baker, Quigley of St. Marys, and Bond of Kansas.
MEMORIAL CHAPEL

Memorial services for the late Mrs. Sara Robinson, widow of Ex-governor Charles Robinson, will be held in chapel Friday morning. Dean Blackmar, executor and historian of the Robinson estate, and Mrs. Noble Prentiss, who was very closely associated with Mrs. Robinson during the early Kansas struggles, will be the speakers. The University quartet will sing.
LABOR LEADER TO SPEAK
Raymond Robbins, May Telk on McNamara Case in Chapel
Raymond Robbins, one of the best known lecturers and labor leaders in this country, will speak in chapel tomorrow morning. The Y. M. C. A. had planned to have the labor leader speak Saturday night and Sunday morning but he wired that he would be unable to accept these engagements.

beyond my power to determine. I assure you my support." Jesse Gephart.
"The Kausan ought to be made a daily by all means but the students should have full control of the paper. The faculty should have no supervision whatever," stated Ellis Davidson.
"I am heartily in favor of making the Kansan a daily issue and will lend all the assistance that I can in order to aid the proiect." Burton Sears.
Don Dousman: "The Kansan has never fully covered the athletic news on the hill. If we had a daily it could do so, much better than at present. I'll do all I can to help."
When asked as to what his opinion was of publishing the
University Kansan as a daily, Melvin Kates said: "I think it's a mighty good plan and I would like to see it go through. I think I speak the sentiment of the majority of the students as in all whom I have talked to about it I have not found one knocker."
Carl Hicks said: "It's a good thing. We ought to be on a par with the other schools in this respect as well as other activities."
Harry Weaver said that he would be in favor of it if the faculty had no part in the control or the molding of the policy of the paper. When assured that the students would have entire control except in regard to the auditing committee which would remain practically the same as it is now he said, "It will be a fine thing. I hope to see an enlarged newsy daily paper next month which this school is undoubtedly large enough to support."
Charles Dolde said: "I'm all for it. It needs pushing along." "The thing to do is to get behind the daily and push. Our University should have a daily

Everett Brummage said this morning in regard to the proposition of making the Kansan a daily paper: "It is the only thing to do. We are the only large University in this section of the country that does not have a daily paper. With the journalism facilities now being installed there is no reason why it should not be a great success."

"The Kansan ought to be a daily. If it were the paper would be on a par with papers of those of other universities, it would cover the news of the school more thoroughly and would be of more interest to the students," said Elmer Dittmar.
"The University of Kansas should have as good a paper as other large universities do," was the remark of Bess Bozell. "I think the students would come out and support a daily too."
Asher Hobson: "Let us tell the one thousand high schools throughout the state of our grea University. Let us tell them through a daily Kansan."
Hal Harlan showed his approval by saying: "It is the best proposition I have ever heard of being pushed in this University. There is no doubt but what the desired subscribers could be obtained as it is just what the students and surrounding community want. If they can pick up a paper with some good live news in it, they will be much more willing to give it their support tha nthey would the paper that contains news three or four days old. I am heartily in favor of the movement."
A. R. Buzick said: "A University is judged by its paper. Why should not the Kansas represent the strength of Kansas University? If it were a daily it would."
"This scheme to make the University Kansan should receive the support of every student. It will mean much to the school." Arvid Frank.
"I would like to see the Kansan a daily by all means," was the statement of Bruce Hurd "I think the necessary subscriptions could be had by systematic campaign among the students."
Gilbert Bragg was much in favor of the plan. He said "The University Kansan as a daily certainly meets with my approval. The obtaining of a sufficient number of subscribers would be the only argument against it, but I believe that when the students see what a decided improvement it is over the old paper they would come through with very little urging."
George Stuckey, when interviewed upon his opinion of the Kansan becoming a daily said: "The students like to read the Kansan because they know they are getting all of the news of the University. However, the local papers appear daily and the students read them as they are many times able to scoop the Kansan because of its handicap of appearing only three times a week. I am satisfied that a daily will get the support of the student body."
"I want to see the proposition for a Daily Kansan go through" says Robert E. Lee. "It is a mighty good thing, there is no doubt that we need it, and I don't see why it can't be done. The University and the students of the University need it."
