WILL YOU DO YOUR PART? Feb. 19-26—C. Alphonso Smith of the University of Virginia will give series of lectures . It has been suggested, and justly, that the practical side of the proposition will be difficult of solution. It has been said that sufficient subscriptions cannot be obtained and that sufficient advertising cannot be secured to justify the increase in the number of papers issued. In regard to the support from the Kansan advertisers, it is recognized that there will be some difficulty in the beginning. From the first of January until March there will probably be a daily loss on each issue. But the Kansan believes that, if given proper support from the student body, it can tide itself over until a better time comes. That the advertisers will give us their moral and financial support in the movement has been assured Present indications show that the advertisers will do their part if the students do their part. The interest that has been manifested in the movement for a daily Kansan is extremely encouraging. In every instance the students have expressed themselves as being strongly in favor of keeping abreast of our rival colleges in the Missouri Valley. The sole remaining question then is: Will the student body get behind the movement and push? Are they willing to sacrifice a little in order to bestow a lasting benefit upon their University. The Kansan has received communications from a number of students and they all favor the plan. Were YOU among those who ANSWERED the appeal? When the call for subscriptions come will YOU subscribe? Just how badly do YOU want a daily? A WRONG CUSTOM. There is a custom in vogue at the University that is rarely found in any of the large colleges. According to a long established custom the entire football squad elects its captain. This idea has been thoroughly worked out at other schools and it has been found to be impractical. If, for instance, there had been a contest over the selection of a captain this year, the vote of the man who played but a few minutes would have counted as much as that of the regular varsity man who played in every game. The University ought to provide that only those men who XMAS SUGGESTIONS Our store is brimfull of nice gifts. Fine leather goods for men, and you might please Father with a Xmas box of fine cigars. Smokers articles, such as cigar jars, tobacco jars, smoking sets and fine pipes. We shall have a fresh shipment of ALLEGRETTIS ORIGINAL BOX CANDIES for Xmas. SMITH'S NEWS DEPOT PHONES 608 Students Downtown Headquarters have earned their "K" should be allowed to elect the leader for the next year. It is only justice to these men and to the candidates for the captaincy that the votes should be confined to those who have won their letter. The situation that presented itself this year was wholly pleasant but in the future there may be a contest in which the matter of who should vote will play an important part. BUY A TICKET. It is a good thing that the Men's Student Council has undertaken the responsibility of providing some function at which, in a small degree, the appreciation of the men of the University for its giriron warrior may be shown. The apathy that was shown toward the annual banquet by the student body led the Y. M. C. A., which has hitherto had the affair in charge, to abandon the project. Determined that this annual custom shall not die out, the Men's Council has started plans for a big stag affair next Wednesday. That every man owes a great deal to the team is granted and next Wednesday is the time to show how much you appreciate their efforts. The price of fifty cents makes it within the reach of all and as the affair is strictly informal there is no excuse why YOU should not be there. Fall in line and buy a ticket and jolly up next Wednesday. In the selection of Harold Brownlee to captain the Jayhawkers next year, his teammates acted wisely. For two years he has played an end on the varsity and both on offense and defense has gained a Missouri Valley reputation as a heady, fast, aggressive and clean player. His unanimous election indicates how highly he is regarded personally by his associates and under his direction the University is looking forward to a most successful season next year. One of the finest exhibitions of real college spirit and loyalty that has ever been shown at the University was displayed by the band last Thursday evening. Wholly unsolicited they marched to the Eldridge House where the football banquet was in progress and semenated the football squad. Such marks of appreciation make the proper friendly feeling in the school. DEBATERS WILL TRY OUT AGAIN TUESDAY NIGHT 709 MASS. ST. An age record for matriculation has been established at the University of Wisconsin by the entrance of a woman student aged 81 years. Twelve Men Will Talk on "Recall of the State Judiciary." The second debating try-out will be held in Snow hall next Tuesday evening, Dec. 12 at seven thirty. Only the men who were successful in the first try-out are eligible to participate in this debate. Each contestant will be given five minutes for a constructive speech on the "Recall of the State Judiciary," and three minutes for rebuttal. The recall is the question which has been chosen for the triangular debate with Oklahoma and Colorado this year. The plan of giving each man three minutes for a rebuttal speech is new this year. GIRLS MUTILATE POSTERS Cut Actor's Picute From Placards on Minnesota Campus At the University of Minnesota most of the pictures of the leading actor in a student play have been cut from the posters. The management thinks it was girls who cut out the pictures for marks of scissors and not of pocket knives were left on the placards by the souvenir hunters. There are 1,570 cadets in the battalion at the University of Illinois. We are in our Holiday Attire.

INVOKED DIVINE AID BEFORE THE BATTLE Students Sang Hymn on Entering Quiz in Common Law Pleadings. It was a sad bunch of young lawyers who filled the lower corridor in Green hall the other afternoon. Their faces were downcast and their spirits drooped. They stood in groups and talked in low mumbling tones. Some scanned quiz books eagerly, others attempted to look unconcerned. But there was an aspect of fear which the casual onlooker could not understand. Of a sudden the door of a room opened and Professor Higgins appeared "It's a Common Law Pleadings quiz," sighed one of the men as he made a move toward the open door, but he stopped Someone started a familiar Bible hymn and the forty men sang i with pathos—then the quiz. AID FRESHMEN ATHLETES Wearers of "I" Organize to Keej Them Eligible. Plans are under way at the University of Iowa for the formation of a new "I" club. The new organization will be founded by prominent Iowa athletes and will be for the promotion of athletics at Iowa. The underlying idea is to have a system of coaching and admonition to the freshmen and other athletes. Most of the men who are ineligible fail during their freshman year. The reason is they do not realize the seriousness of their position, till too late. These men will be admonished not to let up on their work, and in case they need it, the members of the club will tutor them. The Phi Kappa Psi association at Indiana University has awarded the contract for the erection of their new home, which is to cost $23,000, exclusive of plumbing, heating and wiring. It will be an imposing four sorry structure, built of Bedford stone. Students at Cornell are to be official inspectors of boarding houses, according to a plan proposed by a member of the Ithaca faculty. A student Commons to set the pace for other establishments, is also proposed. University students are heartily invited to enjoy the service of music in the First M. E. church tomorrow night.
