Life Too Short To Assimilate All That Is Here
—CHANCELLOR LINDLEY
More Than 1100 Gather in Stadium After Ceremony On North College Hill for Formal Induction
"As students new to this campus you have seen something of the campus and its buildings and laboratories. We invite you now to the University invisible, that community of souls seeking to learn. The span of your life will not be long enough to assimilate all that is here," Charceler E. H. Lindley told the largest group of new students in the history of the University last night. More than 1100 nocturnes gathered by Athens' Althea oath as a part of the impressive formal induction services of the University.
"You are hut a bubble, a fleek of foam on the stream of time, yet, so scientists tell us, in you may be the very molecules that were in Plato, or Caenar, or Napoleon," he continued. "Here at this University, this child of the free

Well, more than 1500 students attended the Union open house Wednesday night. It seems a shame that some don't air at home on weekdays because they would certainly be a few martyrts in the school. It is almost impossible to estimate the number of persons who will attend the Chancellor's reception Saturday night but with the faculty as an added attraction, many of socializer should easily reach 1500.
An Open Letter to Upperclassmen
Speaking of the faculty, a new abused-minded professor story just reached y editor's cars. The editor's sparrow, who is always picking up a paper and giving it back to the cogito in the company of the Dean of one of the schools of the University this summer. The Dean drew his car to a pause in one of the smaller western Kansas town and women-only school. Only when he stopped did he realize that he had been driving in second gear for the forty miles. The little bird who told me this said furthermore that he knew what time but dared if I fell tell the Dean.
The editor's sparrow was sweeping down over the Sig Ep house the other afternoon hoping to find one of the boys there without his hat when he came to see them. And in the DNA of the boys there were calling the Alpha Delta Pi house in an attempt to

Wouder, we are emancipated? Put on our honor?
Is that something either to be questioned or ridiculed?
Of course we will wear the caps—or are they caps, they look like abbreviated fezzes—but no matter what their name or their tradition they seem rather proule to us.
We thought we were in college and not a high school fraternity.
We are told that all other universities have retained this representative custom. We are sorry, but we must correct this fallacious statement. Many universities have cast this custom aside as they have curved pipes and turtle-neck sweaters. Of course, we note, they have gone back to peg-topped trousers, but perhaps that is an anachronism permitted only to upper-classmen.
Very naturally many of us are obviously new and the customary hawseeds remain to be picked from our clothes by our very sophisticated seniors. We only wonder, proud as they are of the term, if they understand the full import of the term sophist, or sophisticate?
We admit our greenness—but weren't our upperclassmen once of an emerald hue themselves? Who can be picked up from one existence and set down in another that is entirely different, without feeling a certain incompetence and timidity?
We shall let the case stand with this final assertion, or interrogation—if we are to be trusted to wear our caps without the college hazing, can our upperclassmen be trusted to meet the requests of Director of Athletics Allen not to drink in the stadium?
We doubt it.
Chancellor Lindley Will Receive Students At Annual Reception
The annual Chancellor's Reception will be held Saturday evening from 8:30 to 10 o'clock in the lounge of the Memorial Union building. Two hours of dancing in the ballroom will follow the reception.
Arrangements for the reception and dance are being made by Miss Elizabeth Megiair, adviser of women. Others cooperating in furnishing entertainment for the students are W.S.C.A. Jay Jones, Ku Kus, Mortar Board, and Sachem.
Miss Meguiar wishes to make clear that the reception is for all students and not just the new students. The objective of the reception is to acquaint the new students with the Chancellor his wife and the faculty, and to renew the acquaintances between the upperclassmen and members of the faculty.
-A FRESHMAN
The receiving line will be headed by the Chancellor and his wife, followed by the dears and their wives near the front of the lounge.
All students are urged to attend in informal attire. Only the receiving line will appear formally.
Conservation Covers 70% of Kansas Farms
Manhattan, Sept. 17 - (UP) - Approximately 70 per cent of mankind's crop land is on farms covered by 1968 agricultural laws. The county was announced by the state agricultural conservation committee, following approvals of counties' soil-dampling base areas.
E. H. Leker, executive secretary, total soil depleting base for farms covered by work sheets is 17,200,000. He said this meant that the maximum amount which farmers could be paid for diverting from soil-depleting crops to legumes, grasses, trees and fallow would be 13 per cent of this figure, or 2,955,000.
Acreages upon which payment will be made will be considerably smaller than the permitted maximum, Leker predicted, as not all farmers who signed work sheets will apply and not all who receive a divert full 13 per cent of base acreage.
Rate of payment for diversion of rate depends upon productivity of land on the farm, county average rates vary from $4.20 per acre to a high of $15.6.
Filling in of applications for payment will begin as soon as county committees have set soil-depleting bases for individual farmers.
One of University's First Students Dies
Oliver P. Barber, one of the 55 who present'd themselves for enrollment the first day classes began at the University of Kansas on Sept. 12, 1866, died Wednesday evening at the home of his son, Perry B. Barber.
Born in Ohio in 1846, Mr. Barber same to Lawrence with his parents at the age of 19 and entered the University. Lauren he opened a drug store and operated it until 1919 when he turned it over to his son.

Southern Cities Imperiled by Storms
San Angelo, Texas and Manteo, N. C., Victims of Destructive Weather
Flood waters and a hurricane caused much suffering and destruction of property to two widely separated regions of the South.
No accurate estimate could be made of the damage last night. Reports were not available pertaining to any loss of life.
The city's power plant was imperative and flooded. Water raced over the city streets and submerged many homes. Many houses have been washed away. Two hundred families were reported marooned in the suburban area.

Topica, Sept. 17, j(UP) — Governor Al. M. Landon told two nationally known Democrats, James A. Reed of Missouri and John Ely of Massachusetts, that American voters were grateful to their "great help" in the Maine election.
The Republican nominee interrupted his preparation of his speeches for the Young Republican rally Friday and Monday, and he wrote to the Midwest, to write letters of appreciation to the former Missouri senator and the former Massachusetts governor.
Both Reed and Ely have been actively opposing the New Deal.
Meanwhile the Republican high command prepared for another sport in the national contest when he will speak at a convention using Republicans from over the nation.

Warns Cities To Make Careful Water Surveys
Cities of Kansas that have recently experienced water faintness would do well to have careful surveys made, according to Dr. K. K. Landes, assistant state geologist and professor of geology at the University.
"The State Geological survey has frequently offered, and is still ready to make geological surveys to discover possibilities for underground water supplies," said Dr Landes. There is interest in travel and incidental expenses."
Dr. Landes said that underground supplies are not feasible for eastern Kansas. The water is there but it is too salty for household use, and no inexpensive way has been found for removing the salt.
NUMBER
For the eastern part of the state, the problem is extension of facilities for impounding surface water. Such projects require careful investigation of run-off areas, rainfall and evaporation records over a period of years, possibility of getting relatively deep ponds, and the like. Each city offers a spe-
