40 Men Wear Delta Tau Pins
CHARLES HALL
This is another of a series of articles by the Daily Kansan to acquaint the campus with the various organized houses, their members, officers, and history.
From a membership of eight, to one of 38,000 is the story of the growth of Delta Tau Delta. Founded at Bethany college, Virginia, in March, 1858, this national fraternity now has 74 undergraduate chapters in the United States, 1 in Canada, and 72 alumni groups.
Fifty-six years after the organization's national founding a chapter was installed at the University. The national offices issued a charter for Gamma Tau on November 20, 1914, and initiation services for the chapter members of the Gamma Theta chapter from Baker university.
A group of 44 University students who were members of the Keltz club, a social organisation for men, became the charter members of Delta Tau here.
The chapter's first home was located at 11th and Indiana streets. In 1927, the present chapter house at 1111 West 11th street was completed. This fraternity house is one of the few that remained opened during the war.
A national convention, the Karamea, is held every two years and two
Students Practice Writing Right To Improve---and to Pass 'That' Test
"Just five flights up and there it is!"
The help obtained at the writing laboratory, 501 Fraser hall, is worth the physical exertion for those interested in writing.
Potential poets, writers, or proficiency examination "takers" may submit finished manuscripts for correction to Mrs. Natalie Calderwood, or Miss Hanna Roberts, both of the English department.
Students also may write their poems, manuscripts, and themes in the writing laboratory from 2 to 4:30 p. m. every weekday afternoon.
Suggestions and corrections are offered informally with no "strings attached." Students may come and go as they please.
Simple, straight-forward writing is emphasized to aid a student, not only in passing the proficiency test, but also in being able to express himself clearly in speaking as well as in writing.
Students, especially upperclassmen who have not had a composition course for several semesters, could
Today Gamma Tau has 40 undergraduate members on the campus and 530 alumni.

Mechanical Lab Gets New Equipment
YOU ARE INVITED
Recently purchased and awaiting installation in the mechanical engineering laboratory are a dozen pieces of new equipment including Diesel truck engines, steam and gas engines, steam turbines, and pieces of equipment for testing and study. Prof.E.S.Gray, of the School of Engineering and Architecture, said today.
Test equipment, including dynamometers, a steam turbo-generator unit, and a cooling tower, is on order. All units are the size used in actual practice.
"We will have one of the best laboratories in this part of the country when the new equipment is installed." Professor Gray said.
"Many people think we operate an engine to see it run, but there is a lot more to it than that," Professor Gray explained. "We study the operation and the theory behind each unit, testing it to determine its characteristics and performance under all conditions."
Dozing Shopper Finds Hat F''
After purchasing a milk stool for his wife at a Logsport store, he sat down on it at the curb to wait for his son to finish shopping. He dozed and his hat fell unnoticed to the sidewalk.
Logansport, Ind. (UP)—Leo Mow,
vice president of the Fulton county
rural electrification corporation,
learned how generous Logansport
residents can be—by mistake.
When his son awakened him, Mow found kind-hearted passers-by had dropped a considerable amount of change in his hat.

No Bouncing Checks Born Yet This Fall To Plague Bursar
Happy days are here again! At least Karl Klöpz, bursar, is sure of that. To date the business office has not accepted one invalid check, and for the fall enrollment term, that is something of a record.
During past years as many as fifty checks, written by students in payment of their fees, have been returned to the business office marked "insufficient funds" or "no such account." At one time the University was holding the bag on bouncing checks for $1,740.
This year's flash of greenbacks cannot be attributed to the government payment of veterans fees, since veterans comprise only 10 per cent of the University enrollment. Everyone apparently has plenty of cash in the bank to cover their checks, but Mr. Klooz is still knocking on wood, in anticipation of that first check of the new semester.
