Caesar Likes Football, Motorcycles, And Horsemeat
By VIRGINIA FROST
Caesar, Great Dane, defies social etiquette and University rules. He shakes hands with both his left and right paws, ignores the hourly whistle, and barks at K.U. traffic officers.
The dog, mascot of Beta Theta Pi fraternity, probably spends as much time on campus as any student. He wanders from building to building and dozes on the grass from 8 a.m.$^{8}$ to 3 p.m. daily.
Caesar was given to the fraternity last year by an alumnus and was named by a special fraternity committee. The Betas had a cocker spaniel named "Buddy" who died in 1944. As one member put it, Caesar just didn't seem like the "Buddy" type.
The dog has a heavy, weekend schedule since he usually attends the football games. He has gone to three of the five home games this season. He celebrated Homecoming by showing up for the Friday night pep rally in the stadium and the freshman-varsity basketball game in Hoch auditorium. However, he missed the Homecoming game.
The year-old Dane is a thoroughbred from the end of his lone nose to the tip of his long brown tail. He weighs 125 pounds and is still growing.
Caesar eats lightly—his daily raions are six pounds of horsemeat and two quarts of milk.
The dog shows a marked friendliness toward traffic officers on duty. One student told of the time he saw Caesar surprise an officer by leaping against him, putting his paws on the man's shoulders and licking his face.
Caesar likes to race down Jayhawk drive—after motorcycles. Last year in his enthusiasm he knocked a traffic officer from his motorcycle. He has an adventurous nature. Last summer the fraternity received a coil from a neighboring residence. The party complained that four persons were unable to get out of a car because Caesar was sitting—and barking—outside.
At the recent A.W.S. buffet supper which was for women Caesar spent the evening circulating around the roof-terrace and wolfing hamburgers.
Caesar's fraternity agrees that his dominant trait is his independent nature. The dog is allowed a great deal of freedom in the fraternity house.
However, his freedom may be short-lived. Jack Robinson, fraternity president, said that plans are being drawn for a house to be built
on the south side of the Beta house. A sign over the door will read "Caesar."
US Losing Resources, Ise Tells KU Dames
Resources in the United States are dwindling to the danger point, Dr John Ise, professor of economics, told the K.U. Dames Wednesday.
"Practical men have never respected the subject of conservation, but it is a problem here and now throughout the world," he said.
Dr. Ise listed lead, zinc, copper, iron ore, oil, and ground water as some of the natural resources which are nearly gone. He said that we won't have to worry about coal for 500 years.
"Our timber is nearly gone and farms are washing away at the rate of about 200,000 farms a year," he added.
He suggested that conservation should be more under the control of the state and national government.
Captain Terrell To Address High School Assemblies
Capt. W. R. Terrell, commandant of the University Naval Reserve Officers Training corps unit, said today that he would address high school assemblies at Valley Falls, and Baldwin City on Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 9 and 10.
He will also show a movie "The Liberal Education", a film showing how N.R.O.T.C. works in a large university. Captain Terrell will explain the navy program and tell of its advantages.

Vigilantes Ride In Women's Dorm
Winnipeg—(UP)—Dr. A, H. S. Gillson, president of the University of Manitoba, has confirmed that male students raided the girls' dormitory and "saped and feathered" the sleeping coeds. But, he said, it was a "student prank" and there would be no punishment.
The story that came to light today was this:
Sunday night 80 male students went to the dormitory. A decoy squad lured the night watchman away. At a signal, the men rushed the girls' bedrooms and dumped the girls out of their beds. Some of them were sleeping in the nude.
The men, all wearing masks, then covered the girls with soap flakes, confetti, mud and feathers.
