The following Kansas-spirited men have volunteered to represent the Kansan in their respective schools:
The Kansan wants to announce a Daily Kansan in its Tuesday's issue.
It can do so if 500 students will fill out blanks promising to support the new publication.
The blanks will be given out a the Kansan office, 110 Fraser Monday.
Old subscribers will receive the Daily the rest of the year without additional charge. Several have expressed their intention of sending a copy home. The Kansan will mail a copy for the same price. Other subscribers have said they would each procure a new subscriber.
The executive committee of the Merchants Association has promised the support of Lawrence merchants provided the students do their share.
Rialdo Darrough, School of Law.
One fraternity has ordered a copy for each member of its chapter, planning to send half of them to high school seniors who would make good K. U. men.
Charles Coats, Mining Engineering.
George Stuckey, College of Arts and Sciences.
Emile Grignard, Chemical Engineering.
Bert Dodge, Civil Engineering Robert Fisher, Mechanical Engineering.
Ross Parker, Electrical Engineering.
Watson Campbell, Medics.

Another point: The logical way for the student paper to be a student paper is for the students to support it.

M'CLUNG PRESIDENT OF THE CONFERENCE
Committees Reported at Meeting This Morning—Home Economic Girls Served Dinner.

HASKELL WALLOPED
OTTAWA. 51 TO 6
Red Skins Were Speed Fiends on End Runs and Handling Forward Passes.
The football squad and about 150 students of the University saw Bert Kennedy's Haskell Indians wallop Ottawa by the score of 51 to 6 in a post season football game on Haskell field yesterday afternoon.
The Indians had been trained to play the open style game and from the start of the game until the close Artichoker, Tayah and Rooe circled the Ottawa ends for long runs. The Baptists were outclassed in every department of the game yesterday. It was a signal victory for Haskell as Ottawa had tied Washburn and William Jewell during the season.
The event was something of a Kansas affair as Kennedy, the Redskin coach, turned out many winning teams in the years that he coached the Jayhawkers. "Box" Dahleh, the referee, is a former Kansas star and played fullback on the ever-victorious team in 1908. Pete Heil, the star quarterback of this year's team, acted as field judge and Jay Bond the freshman coach was head lineman.
To the University students at the game it seemed that they were seeing a contest on McCook field as the Haskell band plays "Booil" and the rooters have adopted nearly all of the Kansas yells. The girls at Haskell have a "rooting section" of their own and they yell as loud as the boys.
WOMAN! GIMME THEM PAPERS! NIX! WOT?
THUS THEY WILL SPEAK IN SACHEM MELODRAMA.
Football Smoker Will See Many Clever Stunts=Scoop Club Will Issue Scandal "Sheet."
Do you want to see "Burly' Miller as the villain? Do you want to see Ira Snyder as the beautiful Genevieve? Do you want to see the Sachems put on ten minutes of melodrama? Do you want to see the Seoop club publish a scandal edition that will be the talk of the "hill?" Do you want to see the other stunts put on by the Friars and the Black Helmets and the Pan-Hellenic?
If you do want to see these things you had better buy your ticket right away for the big stag informal to be held in Fraternal Aid hall next Wednesday evening. Yesterday the tickets for the big event were put on sale and within a half an hour there were over one hundred tickets sold. Interest in the big event is being created in all the schools and the Men's Council expects to have a packed house when they stage the big performance next Wednesday.
At a meeting of the Sachems last Thursday it was decided to produce ten minutes of melodrama and a committee is now at work writing the lines. The old saw mill, the dynamite explosion the villain with his plug hat, the beautiful heroine and the loving lover will all be seen. Soft music by the Sachem orchestra will be played throughout the performance.
The Scoop club has decided to issue a scandall edition for the benefit of the onlookers and those who attend the smoker will see how a real live "sheet" is produced. The paper will be printed on the stage and will be delivered to all present free of charge, all others a dollar a copy. The Scoopers will take their regular hike next Wednesday and will go to Biermann's immediately after noon to practice for the evening's entertainment.
The Friars and the Black Helmets will meet this evening to perfect their plans for their stunts and tomorrow morning the Pan-Hellenic will make arrangements to stage something of interest. Jesse Gephart states that any society or club that desires to have a part on the program should communicate with him before tomorrow noon as definite arrangements must be made soon.
Tickets will go on sale again Monday and if you ever expect to have a good time you had better purchase a little red tag.

PICTURE OF MRS.
ROBINSON IN FRASER
Dean Blackmar Shows Four Photographs of University's Friend.
Four photographs of Mrs. Sara Robinson, the property of Prof. F. H. Blackmar, were placed in the lower hall of Fraser so that those who attended the memorial exercises in her memory, at chapel yesterday were able to see a likeness of the staunch friend of the University who died at her home near Lawrence recently.
The largest photograph was taken in 1898 and shows Mrs. Robinson as she was in the last decade before her death. Her old friends who have known the woman since pioneer days, will be more interested in the other three pictures. One was taken in 1847, another in 1857, and the third in 1864.
BROWNLEE WAS ELECTED CAPTAIN
Next season will be Brownlee's last year in football. He played on the varsity in '09 and this year. Before coming to the University he played two years on the Cooper Academy team, at Sterling, Kansas. In '08 he mad the Freshmen team and in the next year had little trouble in making the varsity.
At the annual banquet given last Thursday night by the Athletic Board for the football team of the University, Harold Brownlee was unanimously elected captain of the 1912 team. Brownlee played a star game at right end this year and his ability to get down under punts was equalled by no end of the valley teams.
Unanimous Vote For The Star
End—Band And Rooters
Serenaded Squad.
"It looks like we would have a good team next year," said the newly elected captain. "There will be some good material from this year's freshmen team and five or six of the old men will be back to give the team the necessary amount of 'old heads,'"
A rousing time was created at the banquet by the K. U. band which played a serenade for the team. It was not long after the strains of "Boola, Boola," were begun until almost a hundred University students 'turned up' from some where any joined in a healthy "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. U." for the team.
"You never find any better spirit than that anywhere," said Coach Sherwin, as the band was playing and the students were cheering.
Rocky Mountain Champions.
The University of Colorado won the football championship in the Rocky Mountain Conference. The other universities in the conference in the order they finished are; Utah, Denver University, Colorado College, Colorado School of Mines, and the Colorado Agricultural College.
