REINSTATEMENT IS THEIR POLICY
CONFERENCE SCHOOLS TO PLAY BASEBALL.
Will Boost Tennis—Washburn And K. S. A. C. Not Admitted to Membership.
Baseball will be played by every school in the Missouri Valley Conference and all efforts are to be made to make it one of the first sports in the valley. The faculty representatives of each of the six conference schools in their meeting at the University Saturday made certain changes in the baseball eligibility rules which will make it possible for all of the schools to turn out good teams.
Nebraska, Drake and Washington had not planned to have teams, but after the matter was discussed for the greater part of the meeting, the men from these schools were favorable to the game. Under the baseball plan
adopted at the conference a committee consisting of Prof. F. H. Ewerhardt, Washington, John Griffiths, Drake and Prof. S. W. Beyer, Ames, was appointed to make changes in the eligibility rules which will insure teams at each university. Professionalism will not be allowed to creep into the college game, and a system of reinstatement for the men who have played for salaries will be adopted.
In regard to Missouri Valley basketball the conference approved all of the action taken by the coaches and managers at Kansas City last week. A further resolution which had been drawn up by Coach W. O. Hamilton that the coaches and officials make every effort to eliminate holding and other forms of contact between the persons of the players and endeavor to make the game more open than heretofore. In taking this step the Western men have taken the lead of the East in improving basketball according to Coach Hamilton and Dr. Naismith.
from Washburn and the State Agricultural College but neither were accepted. Action was taken that no football game shall be played in the conference after the Saturday immediately preceding Thanksgiving. This is the day on which the season closes for all of the big teams in the country.

ent traits of our character are brought to his notice to contradict it.
So if an article of our individual apparel is casting wrong reflections upon ourselves, the ill-effects of which must be overcome by subsequent proof that we are really of greater worth than the reflection implies, it becomes our duty to discard that incongruous article—and to do it as soon as we can consistently do so—for more pleasing raiment.
The undesireable advertisement, which the fact that we are the only school of our rank in the country not issuing a student daily, must give prospective students, those at home who are interested in present scholars, and the world at large, should I think, be deemed sufficient to demand that the exchange be made. —G.W. Von Schultz.
Personal pride commands us to replace our old fashioned periodical with one equal if not better than those of our sister universities.
"Frankly, I am opposed to the plan, unless a very material change should be made in the Kansan. I believe that at present the students as a rule depend on the Kansan only for University news, and read the Star Capital, or local papers for outside informaiont.
"The student body should not be required to read five papers a week to keep posted as to the University news, and unless the scope of the Kansan should be so extended as to render the reading of another paper unnecessary, the proposed plan would be no betterment. Certainly I find myself well satisfied with the present system.
"But on the other hand, it might be an improvement if the Kansan could combine the local and the really important outside news, and in that way fully meet the newspaper requirements of the average student.
idea, and the right subject upon which to work. Do not let the work lag! Bring the realization of the value and need of a daily paper to the students and faculty and success is assured. Let us all get behind and push, but if you can't push, then get in front and pull! And let me in the harness. —Joy Kent.
"Kansas" is a great University. We are justly proud of our educational qualifications, our athletic ability and our social attainment. This self conscious pride is largely due to the fact that the University of Kansas is known in all sections of the country as one of the best state institutions in our nation.
"But it is with no little hesitancy that we are loathe to speak of our student publication the University Kansan.
"There are numerous advantages in having the Kansan published as a student daily. Under the present system of publication there seems to be a lack of general interest on the part of the student body. This doubtless is largely due to the fact that the present Kansan does not, occupy the important position in the minds of the student body that it should. It comes to us like an unconnected story. We fail to follow the connecting link that adds the necessary interest.
"We want a daily student publication and heartily endorse your plan for extension. Like wise you may consider me one of the "500" boosters for a bigger and beter Kansan daily."—Ha' M. Black.
