Shiller Shore—inventive genius, big game hunter, and philanthropist—made a noteworthy contribution to the Band Fund yesterday. Because Mr. Shore only recently returned from a California hunting expedition he was unable to give his usual $800. He did, however, donate a peck of potatoes and a peek of walnuts. That he stole the walnuts from a Campus tree, or that they were larger than any of the potatoes makes
larger than any of the pals,
little difference. Since Mr. Shore
feels his gift was insufficient, he will
pack a delicious lunch in a box for

Student News Bureau Meets
Professor Dill Addresses
N e w s Correspondents
On Procedure
The function of the student news correspondent is an important one in University life, Professor W. A. Dill, of the department of journalism told the Student Correspondents Bureau at its first meeting of the year yesterday afternoon in room 102, Journalism building.
"The newspaper correspondent can send home innumerable items about the University and its students that will be of great interest, and can do it better than any central organization could handle the job." Professor Dill declared. He advised the students what kind of news to write, and how to get it. In Operation Four Years
Every county in the state is going to be represented by at least one correspondent, C. H. Mullen, 141, chairman of the Student Activities Commission of Kansas, and Velma Wilson, chairwoman of the list of 256 correspondents. Miss Wilson presided at the meeting.
The Student Correspondent Bureau has been in operation four years. It is an outgrowth of the county clubs which were discontinued during the depression because of the expense involved.
These clubs sponsored activities of county groups on the Hill, and aimed at establishing a close relationship between the University and the state at large. They were projects of the Men's Student Council and the Women's Self-Governing Association, and it is hoped that they will be revived during this year.
News of the students from the local county, of happenings on Mount Oread, of alumn from the home county, or anything about the State of Kansas is acceptable to the newspaper, Miss Wilson. The best written prizes would be given at the end of the year for the best-written columns.
Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, and advisor of the bureau named the benefits to be derived from students writing for their home town newspapers. The University, and the student residents of the counties are benefited by the publicity they receive, by the newspaper is useful to the news, and the correspondent gets valuable experience in writing. Journalism students receive credit for their columns.
Ellsworth Speaks
Lists of resident by counties are available at the alumni office, room 2. Frank Strong hall. Stamped envelopes may also be obtained there for the weekly newsletter. Council President Talks
Gewa Landrith, c39, president of the W.S.G.A. and Blaine Grimes, c39, president of the M.S.C., in speaking for their respective organizations declared that they were very much in favor of giving universities and that the publicity which it gives to the University in general is valuable. It is these organizations which give the eash prizes for the best columns.
About eighty-five persons attended the meeting, and many who were unable to attend are also going to carry on the correspondence work. All those present signed cards of acceptance.

Allen Has Eye On Fourteenth Cage Title
Kansas Coach Is Pleased With the Way Charges Look After Intensive Workout Last Night
Anyone who watched the Kansas varsity basketball squad in its workout last night could not fail to be convinced of one thing, that Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen is grooming another Big Six championship crew. The best sign for optimism is that his team really has the stuff while usually at this time of the year he is the essence of gloom.
Three teams saw action in hot scrimagem and everyone of them displayed mid season form in every department of the game except shooting. The basket eyes of most of the squad are stifled and the pace was killing. The squad seemed to be in first class physical shape.
The only two men who did not see action during the evening were: Lester Kappelman and Burce Voran, top notch centers, or "quarterbacks," as Allen calls them. Both Voran and Kappelman have minor leg injuries that are expected to be healed before the end of the week.
Golay, Eling, Harp, Corlis, and Bob Allen worked in one combination which looked especially good. George Golay, senior forward seems to be playing the best basketball of his career at the present time, and Dr. Allen looks for a great season for him. Owen Osborne is even better than him as hard and fast as if the serigram was an important Big Six game.
Another team composed of Engleman, Florell, Sands, Nees, and Kline mixed it with the first combination for the greater part of the evening. Engleman and Florlor looked especially good in Sands, Sands, a sophomore is coming along nicely in the quarterback post.
The third five on the floor during the scrimmage was made up of Johnson, Reed, Messner, Southern, and Jackson. Bruce Reed has been switched from the center position which he played last winter to forward, where he is showing exceptional talent.
Dr. Allen announced that the varsity-freshman game this year would be played Nov. 29. He is also planning a game between the Fresh and last year's varsity, composed of Fred Prale, Sylvester Schmidt, Don Ebling Dick Harper, Lorenzo Gillard, the game has been set for this game but it is hoped that it can be held during the early part of the season.
Starting Nov. 7, the varsity will begin to work out five days a week during the afternoon, while the 50 freshman players will meet at night.
Amateur Camera Artists Compete
A competitive exhibition of amateur photography, to be sponsored by the KU. Camera Club, will be one of the features of the Homecoming program to be held here this weekend. The display will occupy a prominent position in Memorial Union building.
The contest is open to any student, faculty member, or friend of the University who wishes to submit original contributions will be awarded by the Homecoming Committee, which will judge the entries.
All entries must be turned in at the Photographic Bureau before 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 3. The bureau is open from 2 to 5 p.m. each day. The pictures will be judged between Nov. 5 and 12.
No fee is charged for entries made by members of the Camera Club. For non-members, a fee of 25 cents will be assessed. All pictures must be on 8 by 10 mounts, or larger.
Amateur photography has become quite popular on the campus in the past few years. It will contain some very interesting and artistic work.
