Date Bait For Sale! Owl Aids Men
Date-eager campus Romeos will get the lowdown on 225 of the Hill's latest crop of Juliets in the football issue of the new streamlined Sour Owl, on sale one week from today.
The Sour Owl Dating Guide, containing pertinent specifications for nearly all sorority pledges and more than 40 I.S.A. members, will be a feature of the first issue of the revamped magazine. right scared, the majority breezed through the interview in a r and friendly manner.
Among facts and figures in the guide are a coed's name, home address, height, color of hair, color of eyes, and a tag line giving a capsule portrait of the subject. Research by Empiricism
No punches were pulled by the Sour Owl connoisseurs of feminine pulchritude, who spent hours of exhaustive research through personal interviews in compiling the guide, then reported to Betsy Dodge, editor, that although some women acted casual, aloof, or down-
Strangest of all was that not a single subject was reluctant to reveal her age. The date-raters added, however, the women did often draw the line when they were asked to appear during study hall attired in slacks and with their hair pinned up.
Other features of the first Owl will be a graphic coverage of the football situation, picture-stories of a first midweek date, a walkout, and campus subrosa activity, as well as cartoons, satire, and jokes.
Problems In H. S. English Are Discussed
The first annual conference of high school teachers of English began at 2:00 p.m. in room 205 Fraser today. The conference gives opportunity to talk over common problems occurring in high school English classes and better to correlate high school with college English.
Dr. L. E. Sisson, professor of English, was chairman for today's meeting. Norman Rehg, assistant instructor in English, discussed the works of I. A. Richards on English usage.
Rehg's discussion was concerned with semantics, the theory and meaning of meanings upon which Richard's works are based. Miss

Fred Truxal Improves In Watkins Hospital
The condition of Fred Truxal, college junior, who was struck on the head by an unknown assailant Monday night in South City Park, is much better today, stated Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of University health service.
Solves Mystery Of Own Absence
Miles White, student at the University last year, who disappeared Sept. 13, has been found. He is in New Orleans, well, "taking a vacation," but somewhat perturbed about the whole situation.
"I just wanted to take a vacation." White said in a letter received today by Reece Sailer, graduate, "and this is the only way I knew to get it."
White said he had received a clipping of the Kansan story which erroneously stated that he had been granted a Summerfield scholarship.

Two Rallies Send Team To Battle
Nearly 750 students gathered at two rallies today to send the team off on its invasion of the Marquette hilltoppers territory at Milwaukee tomorrow evening. After the rally at the Santa Fe station at 1 p.m. today, the football enthusiasts will have to find some method of passing the time until tomorrow night at 8:15, when a play by play telegraphic report of the game will be given in the lounge of the Memorial Union building.
The wire report of the game was arranged by the Union Building Activities Committee, in cooperation with the Jay Janes and the KuKu's when it was learned that it would not be possible to get the game through regular radio channels.
The play by play wire report will be sent from the press box at the stadium in Milwaukee and relayed to the crowd in the lounge over the public address system by Glenn Perkins, college sophomore.
An admission charge of ten cents will be levied on those who want

Add 2 Courses Under National Defense Set-Up
Two short courses in material and inspection testing will be started Monday by the University as a part of the Hill national defense training program sponsored by the United States Office of Education.
Courses continue for a period of 15 weeks and cover the following subjects: physical testing of materials, 8 class hours a week; metalurgy, 5 class hours a week; shop methods, 6 hours a week; and engineering drawing, 6 hours a week. These courses will provide necessary fundamental training for those who wish to obtain jobs as inspectors in ordnance plants, the aircraft industries, and various other industries now engaged with national defense work.

30 Leave For Tilt in Brew City
Thirty University gridmen, at noon today, boarded the train for Milwaukee, where they will tangle tomorrow evening with Marquette's fast, tricky eleven.
The Jayhawkers find themselves handicapped by injuries sustained in last week's contest with Nebraska. Monte Merkel, first-string guard, remained behind with an injured knee. Ralph Schaake was left in Lawrence because of his shoulder injury, and the broken rib of Don Pollom, flashy halfback who has figured prominently in early season contests, has not yet healed well enough to get the doctor's okay.
Ettinger Still Ill
In addition, Don Ettinger, first-string sophomore fullback, was laid up in the hospital early in the week undergoing treatment for the flu. He was allowed to work out with the team Thursday afternoon, but still is not in the best of condition.
Coach Gwinn Henry has been tutoring his eleven in some new pass plays, with which he hopes to turn the tables on the razzle-dazzle Marquette team. The game may turn out to be a passing duel, with Jimmy Richardson, Marquette's star passer, exchanging tossing honors with the Jayhawkers' Ralph Miller, third ranking passer in the nation after last week's games. Coaches Old Rivals
Interesting to note is the fact that Tom Stidham, Marquette coach, who left his coaching position at Oklahoma last year to take over the Milwaukee job, and Gwinn Henry, Kansas grid menter, have been mutual friends and admirers for years. Coach Henry will haul out every item in his bag of tricks to try to outdo his friendly rival and former (continued to page four)

Dramatics Group Changes to Workshop
Growing out of the reorganization of the Dramatic Club, the Dramatic Workshop was born yesterday afternoon in the courtroom of Green hall. Meeting at 4:30, members of the old club effected a complete change of principle and policy. Even the name was changed, and hereafter the organization will be known as the Dramatic Workshop.
The aim of the new organization is to act as a workshop in which students may choose, produce, manage, and act in plays. Productions
The Dramatic Workshop will be in no way connected with plays sponsored by the department of speech and dramatic arts, but this will in no way affect the relations of the club members to the plays, the new organization, pointed out. Members will engage in public play tryouts just as other students on the Hill may do. Because of their training they will probably per-
will not be primarily for the public but for the development of club members. Only students in the organization will participate in the plays. Any local organization wishing special plays or entertainment may apply at the Workshop for assistance.
form the greater part of future play casts, Watermulder said.
Tryouts for membership in the new Dramatic Workshop will be held Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 20 and 21, at 4:30 p.m. in the Little Theater of Green hall. All University students interested in becoming members of the club should apply at that time. David Watermulder, Workshop president, announced today. All students who wish to work in the productions as electricians, designers, or craftsmen of any kind are urged to apply at that time.
A feature of the Workshop will be its faculty advisory board. This
board will advise and assist the club in its work. Members of the board and their advisory connections are: English, W. H. Odell; dramatics, Allen Cafton; music, Joe Wilkins and Jeanette Cass; design, Arvid Jacobson, psychology, R. H. Wheeler.
The student executive board of the Workshop is as follows: president, David Watermulder; vicepresident, Bill Kelly; secretary, Jane Beal; treasurer, Reola Durand; productions, Joe Nelson; program, Spencer Bayles; social, Wally Kunkel; membership, Sally Connell. Regular Meetings Set
Regular meetings of the Dramatic Workshop will begin Nov. S, and
it will meet on the first Monday and third Tuesday of each month thereafter. One-act plays will be given for the club and for friends each third Tuesday. These may later be given publicly. Monday meetings will feature individual and group acts and speakers.
Public productions will be the groups of one-act plays which the club votes to give, a Christmas play on Dec. 7, an Easter play on March 29, and the all-student production on March 20. Student directors for the first three one-act plays have been chosen. Chestine Wilson and Frank Heck will direct the first, Mary Kirby the second, and Sylvia Steeper the third.
