Alumni Association Plans First Roundup
The K.U. Alumni association, in conjunction with the University committee on alumni interest, has planned the first of a series of "roundups," with the University playing host to alumni and the families of students of the northeastern counties in Kansas.
The association has planned a program that will start with an open house Sunday, Nov. 9, and will provide entertainment, visiting, or inspection of the campus.
The open house will start at 3 o'clock that afternoon with a get-to-together in the Memorial Union building. Schools of the University, museums, and all departments will be open for inspection.
Barbecue Sunday Night
At 6 o'clock a barbecue will be held in the Union building, followed by a program of musical entertainment given by student groups and faculty members. Chancellor Deane W. Malott and Alumni President Hugo "Dutch" Wedell will greet the visitors.
Wayne Replogle, freshman football coach, will give his famous ranger talk, illustrated with colored pictures of Yellowstone national park.
This gathering has been arranged especially for the alumni and families of students in those counties of northeastern Kansas on the north side of the Kaw river, including Marshall and Shawnee counties.
All interested alumni are invited to attend. Reservations should be made before next Wednesday to the alumni office in care of Fred Ellsworth, Alumni secretary.
Interview Students For Job Placement
Eastman Kodak company's representatives will interview juniors and seniors of the School of Business next Thursday, reported F. T. Stockton, Dean of that school, today.
A number of other companies have written in to make dates for interviewing. Business firm interviewers are expected to visit the campus earlier this year.
"Seniors interested in business positions should contact Tom Hancock, assistant director of the business placement bureau, as soon as possible," said Dean Stockton, "so that his office may have complete information of each prospective job candidate's interests and preparation."
There will be a meeting soon of seniors who have business job interests, at which Dean Stockton and Mr. Hancock will discuss business outlook and other things that business students need to watch.
ODDITIES OF THE DAY--last decided that his advice just went in one ear and out the other. He has now invented a drug to feed patients that will make them obey the dentist's instructions and remain complacent while the drilling and tugging goes on; then afterward the patient just forgets all about the pain.

Chew Your Cud Maybe
Dentist Gottlieb, of Dallas, says people would be better off if they stopped grinding their molars—and he ain't just grinding his molars, either.
Magazine Will Sponsor Contest
"What is America?" What is she to you, to the kid next door, to the cop on the beat—What is America? "Common Ground," a quarterly magazine edited by Lewis Adamic and published by the common Council for American Unity, is sponsoring a contest offering $100 in prizes for the best written essays on this subject.
Any student who attends a public or parochial high school or any college or university in the United States, is eligible for the contest. The first page of the manuscript must bear the student's name, address, school, classification, attesting eligibility, and signature of the English instructor.
"Common Ground" assumes no responsibility for lost manuscripts. If entrants wish manuscripts returned they must include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. All entries must be postmarked not later than Feb. 15, 1942.
First prize will be $50. The judges of the contest will be the editorial staff of "Common Ground." Entries may be addressed to Contest Editors, 222 Fourth Avenue, New York City, New York, in care of "Common Ground."
Lind's Medieval Latin Studies Book Published
L. R. Lind, assistant professor o Latin and Greek, has written a book, "Medieval Latin Studies Their Nature and Possibilities," which has been published by the University of Kansas Publications as a number in the Humanistic Studies series. Adapted for students, the book is offered in exchange for similar publications by learned societies, institutions, and other universities.
In the introduction of the book the term "Medieval Latin," is discussed, and the chronology of the period and the linguistic elements of Medieval Latin are presented.
The following sections of the book are devoted to founders and their successors, language, literature, possibilities of Medieval Latin studies, and suggested readings. The last part of the book contains a list of suggested readings on the subject and a bibliography.
The first volume in the Humanistic Studies was prepared in 1912, and additional publications have been issued nearly every year since that time. The committee on Humanistic Studies is composed of William H. Shoemaker, professor of romance languages, Professor Lind, and Clyde Kenneth Hyder, associate professor of English and editor of the Studies series.
Swimming Club Will Practice Tonight
Despite the fact that with excessive rain they should be wet enough, Quack clubbers will meet tonight at 8 o'clock. They are practicing on new strokes and team swimming. Perhaps they forsee the time when they will rescue all the K.U. students marooned on the Hill by the flood.
