Quiz Question Up for Debate
Engineering students, hold you breath until Monday morning! By that time you'll have an answer to what is the object in guessed quizzes?

For one thing, 15 ranking family members scheduled to attend here early this morning for Lincoln. Neb.

Mrs. Roosevelt
In Lawrence
Tomorrow
Proceeds From Lecture Will Go to Student Loan Fund: Estimate Profit At Nearly $2,000
The First Lady of the Land will be in Lawrence tomorrow, to deliver a lecture in Hoch auditorium at 8:20 p.m. the proceeds of which will be turned over to the University Student Loan Fund. The Lawrence Women's Club is bringing Mrs. Roosevelt here.
The Student Loan fund make loans of $100 or less to 50 or 60 students every year. It was begun by a gift of the Class of 1894 consisting of $342 and has grown until it is now approximately $40,000.
The fund is made up of contributions from private sources, gifts from
graduating classes and student organizations, and of the interest it has accumulated. The fund is nearly exhausted now, but Karl Kloos, bursar of the University, and treasurer of the fund, hopes that it will be enough to meet the need for loans at the beginning of the second semester. Slow payment of outstanding loans is responsible for the shortage in the fund.
Appear for First Time
Tick sales are advancing rapidly, according to Mrs. C.E. Pontius, president of the Lawrence Women's Crub. If sales are as successful here as they have been in other cities, the lecture should add $2,000 to the loan fund.
Mrs. Roosevelt will arrive tomorrow morning, and will be met at the train by a reception committee of the club. She will then be taken for a short automobile ride through the University campus and Haskell Institute, and will probably spend the afternoon at the Hotel Eldridge.
The speaker requested that no parades, receipts, or other entertainments be planned for her, owing to lack of time, and to the strenuous work she spends at a speakeasy. She desired to spend the afternoon resting and writing her column.
Mrs. Pontius received a letter yesterday from Mrs. Roosevelt's secretary, saying that the First Lady regretted that she would be unable to receive members of the audience back stage after the lecture, as she is planning to take a midnight train to Kansas City.
This is the first time a First Lady has appeared on the University campus without being in a presidential party. Mrs. Rosevelt is well known not only as a president's wife, but also as college columns, and as a social worker.
Use of Hoch auditorium for the lecture was approved by the State

Her activities interested Miss Hoover, who evolved plans for a Play Day at the University, and sent letters to various schools in the state, seeking their reaction. Her efforts have been rewarded by establishment of the field basketball game. The field basketball games will be played on the practice field south of the stadium, and on the stadium field proper. Permission to use the fields has been granted by Gwin Henry, director of University athletics.
The purpose of Play Day, it was announced by Miss Hoover, is to increase interest in the sport, and to improve players and officials.

British Guns Are Silent
Jerusalem, Oct. 21 (Friday)—(UP) Military authorities reported early today that Arab rebels barricaded around their mosques in Jerusalem's old city were firing on British troops, but that the soldiers were unable to retaliate because of orders to respect the holy places.
Need Special Authority To Fire on Arab Rebels Around Mosques
The Arabs, remnants of those left within the 16th century walls of old Jerusalem after British troops stormed and seized the native quarters at dawn Wednesday, stirred in shock and anguish. The Moslem day of prayer dwelled.
The British "tommies" were under instruction to refrain from retaliating because "no mosque may be built under our authority," military leaders said.

17,000 Fans Expected at Iowa State
By Jay Simon, c'uncl
Kansans Aim To Spoil Six-Game Streak of Jim Yeager's Eleven: Train Leaves at 8 p.m.
t will be a case of now or never for the local gridsters, and Coach Ad Lindsay believes they'll take the league-leading foulc club and jump back in the thick of the Big Six fight.
The Jayhawker football troupe will leave town at 8 o'clock tonight for Ames where they aim to pluck Iowa State out of the ranks of the unbeaten.
A homecoming crowd of 17,000 is expected to witness the Cyclones attempt to stretch their victory run to seven straight, but the Kansans will not hesitate in the least to spoil the day for their hosts.
Although the Cyclones will hold a slight weight advantage at the kick-off, it will not be a bone-crushing team like Oklahoma that the Jay-hawkers must face. Kansan will give only four points in the first game and they can match this with more experienced reserves.
Cyclones Play "Heads Up"
Heads up and tricky football is the Cyclone's long suit and that is what the locals must combat. They have a charging line led by Ed Bock, 200 pound all-conference guard, that chalked up safeties a gainst both Nebraska and Missouri. Jim Yeager has coached his team to make its own searing breaks by blocking punts recovering enemy fumbles.
Stopping Everett Kühler's running and passing has been one of the major worries of teams facing the Cycles, and it is what led to his own atkown game.
In Ralph Miller Kansas has a passer who can match Kischer's average on aerial conplections and one who is also some shakes when it comes to toting the pikein. Max Replogle, the Chicago Bulls, beat the best left handed passers in the business and is likewise an able ball carrier.
Four Triple Threats
Another Jayhawker who can run and pass is Bill Bunsen, the 200 pound fullback and the only man on the squad who was able to pick up much yardage through the sturdy Sooner line.
Quarterback Paul Masoner rounds out the starting backfield and serves as the chief blocking back. Masoner can punt and pass when necessary. All four Kansas starting backs can be rated as triple-threats Miller and Replogie do most of the punting and passing, but they can turn over the chores to the other two without embarrassing the team's supporters.
Another quartet of ball luggers whom many a coach would welcome for starters is Milt Sullivan, quarter-back; Lyman Divers and Dick Amine, halfbacks; and Milt Meier, fullback.
Anderson Back in Line
The return of Ferrell Anderson will be a big boost for the Jayhawk line after his two-weeks' absence. "Andy" team will with队Qoqa Massare at the guard berths. At the tackles Fred Boaseclue and Monte Merkel will get the go sign, although Mike Skanick may start instead of Merkel.
Dave Shirk and Russell Chitwood will flank the line and "Chuck" Warren, one of the best defensive men in the conference will be at his usual host spot.
Ruth Shaler is New
Oread Social Science Supervisor
Miss Ruth Shaler is the new social science supervisor at Oread Training School. She taught in the school, and she worked in the Nortonville High School.
Cancel Independent Open House
The Independent student's open house, which was to have been held tonight, has been canceled, according to Suzan Maloney, president of the Independent Student Association.
