LAWRENCE, KANSAS WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1911.
MEN'S COUNCIL SUMMONED EIGHT
PROBED INFRACTIONS OF
STUDENT DISCIPLINE.
Refuse to State the Result of Their Actions—Report Sent to Chancellor.
That the Men's Student Council is determined to make the most of its recently acquired disciplinary powers is evidenced by their summoning eight alleged transgressors of student discipline before them last evening.
Ten days ago, or rather nights ago, eight jolly fellows chartered a chariot from Moak's and drove hither and thither over the town regaling students and town folks alike with their melodious carroling. Various members of the Student Council saw them while they were serenading the sorority houses and thought that they were entirely too boisterous. At the next meeting of the Council an investigation was started that resulted in the meeting last night.
What the Council recommended last night is not known as they refuse to give out anything until their actions have been sanctioned by the Chancellor. It is rumored however that in one case the student will be suspended from school for a period of three weeks. Five other offenders will be put on probation for the rest of the year. Two of those summoned were dismissed.
The report of the Council was sent to the Chancellor today and definite action probably will be taken by him before the holidays.
Proceeds Will be Turned Over to Dormitory Fund.
MISSOURIANS GIVE DANCE
The Missouri Club of the University of Kansas has taken its first step towards interesting itself in University affairs. Advance will be given in Kansas City, Mo., Thursday evening January 4, 1912 at Morton's hall. 40th and Main streets, for the benefit of the Girl's Dormitory fund.
To Talk on High Explosives
It was the purpose of this club at its organization to bring the Missouri people together and "do something" for the betterment of the University. While the non-residents have not turned out as well as was hoped for at first, still the club is gradually gaining precedent, and if this initial step is a success, bigger things are promised later. All Kansas alumni from Missouri and especially all students now in school are most cordially urged to attend the dance during the holidays. The price will be one dollar per couple. Tickets may be obtained from any of the following: Don Dousman, Russell Clark, Earl Moore and Theodore Schwartz.
The last meeting of the Civil Engineering Society until after the holidays will be held in Marvin hall Thursday night, Dec. 21, 7:30 p. m. Carl Pleasant, '10, who is now in charge of the Municipal Asphalt Plant, Kansas City, Mo., will be the speaker of the evening.
At the regular meeting of the Chemical Engineering Society which meets tomorrow evening in the Chemistry building, Dr. L V. Redman will give a lecture on "The Production and Uses of Modern High Explosives."
Civils Meet Thursday.
HOME TO MOTHER!
JUNIOR PROMENADE APRIL 12 IN GYM
ANNUAL FUNCTION FIRST
FRIDAY AFTER EASTER
Further Plans For Big Dance Have Not Been Made— Farce Not Started.
The annual Junior Promenade will be held this year on Friday evening April 12 in Robinson gymnasium. For some time there has been considerable agitation to have the annual function early in the spring before the weather gets too warm. The managers of the Prom, Bruce Hard and Elmer Whitney, believe that the middle of April will be plenty early as far as the weather is concerned and will be late enough to allow the Prom to act as one of the functions in honor of the outgoing Senior class.
Further plans for the Prom have not been made. Last year an innovation was started in the time of beginning the dance Acting at the suggestion of the Chancellor the Prom was started at six o'clock in the evening and concluded at three o'clock in the morning. The managers of the Prom this year have not decided when the Prom will be started.
The Junior Farce committee has not yet started to work on the farce but immediately after the holidays a meeting will be called and actual work on the play started.
CONFERENCE MEETS AGAIN
Basketball Officials Will be Definitely Decided.
The second winter meeting of the Missouri Valley Conference will be held at Des Moines, Iowa on January 6. Dr.C.E.Mclung and Manager W.O.Hamilton will attend the conference from Kansas.
Because of the heavy enrollment in Dr. Hyde's course of elementary Physiology, and the many requests that were received for enrollment after the class was closed, it has been decided to re-open the course in Physiology I. It is a five hour course open to all students in the University, and meets at 1:30.
The question of basketball officials for the approaching season will be definitely decided at this meeting.
Phvsiology I Re-opened
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN ON JAN.
ITS EXISTENCE DEPENDS ON STUDENT BODY.
ENGINEERS FINISH TESTS
Kansan Staff Asks Support From Alumni—Offices and Press Room in Medic Building
In its movement for a daily the University Kansan has had generous support from the student body and today it is able to announce that on January 8 the first University Daily Kansan will be printed.
When the movement was started, the statement was made that at least five hundred additional subscribers must be secured before the project would be ventured. Through the aid of a number of students in the various schools, four hundred subscribers were secured and the staff of the Kansan feel that if the student body once sees the advantages of a daily they will give the paper sufficient support that it may continue to exist.
In order that a daily may exist the Kansan asks every student who goes home for the holidays to secure at least two subscribers from University alumni. If the old graduates can be interested in a daily its success will be assured.
All of the machinery for the department of journalism has arrived and will be set up during the holidays. The daily will be published in the Medic building where the offices, press room and composing room of the paper will be located. All of the newspaper files will be placed in this building and most of the work in the department of journalism will be done there.
In order that Manager Hamilton may obtain the necessary data for suits and other equipment, all the men who wish to take part in University track work will meet Captain French and the manager at the club house on McCook field, Thursday afternoon before the football game.
Track Men Attention.
Completion of Work at Wichita
Celebrated With Banquet
Finish Enrollment
Word was given out by Dean Templin of the College that all enrollment in the College must be completed by five o'clock Thursday evening December 21. Enrollment is being conducted now in the gymnasium every afternoon from four until six o'clock.
The squad of Electrical and Mechanical engineers that went to Wichita under the direction of Professor C. A. Johnson, has completed the work in testing the new power plant there and the men returned to school last Friday. The result of their tests proved satisfactory in every way and the reception given them by the firm employing them was flattering.
At the close of the tests on Thursday, a banquet was given at one of the hotels. The entire expense of the trip was borne by the Chicago firm that constructed the power plant for the city of Wichita.
AWARDED 14 "K'S"
Ahrens Denied His Letter Be cause He Failed to Attend Classes.
The Athletic Board awarded fourteen "K's" yesterday to the men who have fought on the gridiron this year. The men who received the letter are: Weidlein, Bramwell, Delaney, Ammons, Brownlee, Heil, C, Woodbury, Baird, Davidson, Price, Schwab, Daniels, Coolidge and Davis.
An investigation of the Board proved that Henry Ahrens, regular varsity center, had failed to attend his classes and for this reason was denied his letter. It it said that he was regularly enrolled in the School of Law but had failed to report to his classes. Those who are in charge of the eligibility of University athletes say that the change in the administrative system of checking up eligibility made this possible this year. They regret the irregularity and a letter of apology will be sent to all of the schools that Kansas has played this year.
THESPIANS ARE PREPARED
Will Produce Play Shortly After Holidays.
The Thespian Dramatic Club will present its play "The Gay Mr. Thompson's" shortly after the return from the Christmas holidays. The cast have been rehearsing their parts for the last month and already have the show well in hand. The exact date of the play has not been set as it will be given in the new Bowersock Opera house and there are several conflicting dates. However the management has the farce comedy in condition to be put on at any time and will announce the exact date in the first issue of the Daily Kansan.
NAISMITH TO NEW YORK
Athletic Board Sends Him on Rules Committee.
Library Notice.
Dr. James Naismith was chosen to represent the University at the National Athletic Association which meets in New York during the Christmas Holidays. Mr. Naismith, the originator of the game of basket ball, is an authority on the rules. The changes in the rules for the following season will be discussed.
During the holidays the library will be open to students from eight until six o'clock every day with the exception of Christmas and New Years days and Sundays.
All books that have been checked out from the shelves must be in the library before the holidays. A fine will be imposed for books that are not returned.
STATE EDITORS WILL MEET HERE
EXPECT 500 AT TWO DAY
SESSION IN APRIL.
Editor of Life May be on Program—Students Will Furnish Entertainment.
Through the efforts of Prof. Merle Thorpe of the department of Journalism, and the editors of the Lawrence papers, the annual meeting of the Kansas State Editors association will be held here. Three other cities, Arkansas City, Manhattan, and Osage City had their representatives at the meeting and attempted to draw the meeting.
It is expected that five hundred editors will attend the two days session here on April 8 and 9. Some of he best speakers in the country will be obtained to address the editors.
Efforts were made last night to secure an address by Henry Watterson. It is thought, however, that it will prove impossible to have him come to Lawrence. An attempt will also be made to secure the editor of Life magazine, J. A. Mitchell, for the program.
The University Daily Kansan will throw open its doors to the editors of the state and welcome their inspection of its printing plant. The entire proceedings of the meeting will be covered with two issues daily of the Kansan.
Already plans have been made for the entertainment of the men when they come to the University. Smokers have been planned and some original stunts will be put on for the benefit of the visitors.
HELD IMPROMPTU DANCE
Soal Shooters Could Not Play After Engineers' Party.
The "sprinkler" or the "sander" could do nothing with the basketball court last night and, as a consequence, the games between the Engineers and the second College team and the first College team against the Laws could not be played. The Engineers had danced in the gym Saturday night and the floor was slippery.
Three minutes of slipping and sliding was enough to cause Coach Hamilton fear, so he stopped the game. During the play but one goal was thrown.
To shoot a basket the players had to brace themselves, throw the ball and fall down. Football is tame to what basketball is on a dance floor.
GERMAN SONG RECITAL
Alexander Heinemann, Baritone,
Sang in Chapel Last Night.
The last number of the Fine Arts Fall Recital Course was given by Alexander Heinemann, the German baritone, and his accompanist, John Mandelbrod, in Fraser Hall last night.
A program of songs by Beethoven, Brahms, Herrmann and Schubert was given. Programs with parallel German and English words were supplied.
