Not to be outdone by the Gamma Girl, the Chi Omega's pulled the man scare Wednesday night and called the Lawrence police squad to their house. Much to the chirgin of the Chi Omega's the police were unable to find any suspects but attempted to take Maxine Wooly and Marian Dresser along as suspicious looking characters.
We should all join in the morning of the mourful fate of Margarette Myers, Theta beauty, whose career as a man's lady is definitely finished. She will have no more Sig Ep dates because of the fact that she broke several dates with them and they have accordingly "blackhair" her.

Mitchel Talks To Frosh
"Man Alone Prolits by y The Experience of H is Fellows." Speaker Says
Man is the only animal able to profit by the experience of his fellows, said Prof. U. G. Mitchell, professor of mathematics at the University, in his address last night to the teachers of his field. That Is Education?" was his subject.
Professor Mitchell quoted from W. C. Bagley's "The Educative Process," to the effect that man possesses two characteristics which give him far more control than he can make improvements over past conditions—the capacity to profit by his own experiences, and the capacity to profit by the experiences of the race. The higher animals share with him these two capacities; the second capacity is his alone.
"Humanity, through the experiences of thousands of years, has learned many things; this vast accretion," said Professor Mitchell. "and professor Mitchell."
"Every individual begins life with none of his knowledge. His parents cannot transmit it to him at birth by heredity. He may acquire a very small portion of it through haplaphard and more or less accidental personal experience, but so ineffective that he must own his own protection, has, at enormous cost, organized and supported various agencies to aid him.
“If an individual takes advantage of this assistance and acquires as his own an unusual portion of what the race has learned, we say he has scholarship. If he goes on to make a significant contribution to the race, he is acknowledged. And say he has productive scholarship.” Two remaining freshman lecture in the series are to be given by Prof. Bert A. Nash of the School of Education, who will speak on budgeting time, and “How to Study.”
Rifle Teams To Begin Practice Last of Month
Practice for the men's and women's rifle teams will begin about Oct. 26, according to Major Raymond Edwards, assistant professor of military science. A better and more adequate lighting system is being installed on the rifle range this fall, and it is hoped that the training will be time for the first practice rounds.
The personnel of both teams will be selected at the beginning of the second semester.
Bil Smiley, c. 40, a member of lasea's team, and a Jigh-point man at Camp Perry last summer, was on the Kansas civilian team which ranked seventh among the national civilian and service teams.

Moritz will preside over the convention, having been elected chairman of the Rocky Mountain Region by the 650 delegates who attended the meeting at Estes Park, Colo., last summer.
The game is pretty much a toss-up with perhaps a shade to Iowa State, giving credit to their splendid game against the Nebraska powerhouse. In weight Iowa State will have a slight edge, with a line that averages 192 pounds compared with an 186-pound average in the line for the Jayhawkers. The Cyclones have even more odds in comparative backfield weights, with
Having found it expedient in coordinating the activities of the many local organizations, the National Council divided the various groups into nine geographical regions several years ago.

College Y.M.C.A.'s and Y.W.C.A.'s from seven mid-western states will send delegates to the Rocky Mountain Regional Council meeting to be held Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at Washburn College, Topkea.
Aside from routine business this weekend the council, a regional governing body, will discuss the feasibility of a scheme of reorganization. It has been previously suggested that the region be so reorganized as to include other young people's Christian organizations.
Regional work for the ensuing year will also be outlined at the meeting.

Previous games this season offer little chance for comparative scores as Iowa State has played Iowa State Teachea, Northwestern, and Nebraska, while Kansas has played Washburn and Wichita. Each team has been victorious in one game.
FERREL ANDERSON
MAX week's fray and REPLYABLE will be unable to play this week. On the other hand, Amerine, Burnette, and possibly Shirk will be unable to play for the lashawkers.
Determined to Win
On the broucher side for Kansas is a determination to win, fired by the unexpected reversal at the hands of Wichita last week. Additional hopes have been raised by the splendid performance of Douglas in the Shocker game, when he ripped the Wichita line wide open on line three as he ran up and hit him to perform as ably this week, and they also remember the hard driving, twisting runs of Sullivan in the Washburn game.
Then many feel that it is time for a few breaks to fall the way of Ad Lindley's men, and there is a feel and if Sullivan
