In addition to the well-known old favorites, songs last night included "The Marine's Hymn" and "Anchors Aweigh."
Mrs. Malott was presented a bouquet of roses by Marge Rader, WS GA president, while the paraders sang "I Love You Truly."
The Chancellor and Mrs. Malott invited the women into their home where additional songs were sung.
Grad Warns Service Life Requires Work
Objections on the part of some University students that the compulsory physical conditioning program for men registered under Selective Service, is not necessary, were answered today by an interview with Lieut. Clint Kanaga, a graduate last spring.
To indicate the necessity for physical conditioning to prepare men in service for the life they are to lead, Kanaga listed some of the activities of the marines in their training. tip-top shape are dead

These fellows in school have absolutely no conception of what they are going in for. When we are on night raids we come in at midnight or one or two o'clock, and get to sleep about four hours.

Students May Aid In Labor Shortage
Chancellor Deane W.Malott announced yesterday that the University would cooperate whole-heartedly with any practical plan proposed by authorities to relieve the serious shortage of labor confronting farmers. Some students may be dismissed from classes to aid farmers in harvesting of vital crops.

Dislikes Song
During the meeting of the University Club, given as a rodeo at the Chancellor's residence. Thor, Chancellor and Mrs. Malott's dog, showed his musical taste. With the first blast of "The Star Spangled Banner", the opening number of the rodeo program, Thor pulled down his ears (and tail) and scooted for home (his ken against the farthest wall and with his ears covered by his paws, he remained until the last note was played.

Problems in Plan
Commenting on the relief labor plan, Chancellor Malott pointed out that many problems will have to be overcome before the volunteer farm units can be organized. Definite arrangements for transportation and organization will have to be made before anyone will be dismissed from a University class.

Jayhawks Try For First Win Tonight
Bv J. Donald Keown, Kansan Sports Editor
Gwinn Henry will send his victory-hungry Jayhawkers to battle tonight at 8:15 against a question-mark Denver University squad in a game which pre-game dope, such as it is, rates as a tossup.
The Pioneers, using freshmen talent this fall to replace 15 men lost to the services, hold a three-touchdown win over Colorado Mines, and dropped a 7 to 0 game with Iowa State so far this year. Kansas will be trying for its first victory, after losing games to the Iowa Cadets and Marquette.
Kansas victory hopes received a severe blow this week, when Joe Roberts, regular sophomore halfback, sprained his ankle. It is extremely doubtful if Roberts will see much action against Ellison Ketchum's Pioneers. Still another Roberts, Gene, who has been missing from the lineup in early season games because of a knee injury, will see only limited, if any, service tonight.
All women students who swim are eligible to try out for membership in Quack Club. Members will be elected on the basis of swimming ability. Nada Clifton, president, asks those interested to report at the locker room in Robinson gymnasium Saturday at 10 a.m.
Gene Sherwood, rugged plunger, will be moved into the spot vacated by the injuries. Sherwood has seen considerable action in the Iowa Cadet and Marquette games. Another back who will probably see considerable action tonight in an effort to replace the running power lost by the injuries in Kenneth Adams, pony back from Bartlesville, Okla.
Penny Will Start
With one other exception, the Jav-

hawk starting lineup will probably consist of the same men who have started in the previous games. Coach G. Henry has announced that J. Penny, outstanding sophomore prospect, will probably start at
the center post. Ready for relief duty at that position will be Bob Cithens and Walt Sheridan, both lettermen.
Three other Jayhawks who have been on the crippled list this week will probably be ready for full-time service against Denver. They are Gene Long, guard; Carl Hird, tackle; and George Dick, end. Charlie Black, junior end, is expected to make his first appearance of the season against the Rocky Mountain aggregation.
