Exchange Scholar Writes Chancellor Of Absurd Reports About Germany
Chancellor E. H. Lindley recently received a letter from the John Gilchrist, German exchange scholar from the University of Hamburg University in Hamburg.
Gilchrist seems to be well pleased with the opportunities he is receiving in Germany. He says in his letter, "I have no difficulty learning the language, traveling, and observing. It may be that the events which occur in the interval before the beginning of the school year—it and the time of its writing will completely discredit much of what I say. Naturally, many of my observations are superficial, but I am not setting those down."
"The seeming unification of new Germany is accounted for in the spirit for which I was born, and that Americans find this spirit hard to comprehend. The complete subjugation can be understood in a measure when the subject is in motion and then only. The manifestations of

"I find many points in the new program highly desirable. The emphasis upon health, clean living, and cooperation is commendable though they in themselves are only a means to another end. One must admit the naive houndishness of our counsellors. I am trying hard to retain an objective and unbiased standard."
"Apart from the personal satisfaction is the opportunity to represent my university. It is indeed a heavy responsibility, but I hope I am doing it creditably since I owe the University of Kansas for all the guidance and unimpressible impressions left by tourists, other American students, and American picture shows," Gilchrist said in closing.
"My sojourn in Germany has been very pleasant so far. Everywhere I have been met with courtesy and friendliness. It does seem that the American newspapers are rather absurd in some of their news stories. The reason is not always apparent. For example, reports of the drought in Germany often mention it. I am in America papers that the potato crop was a complete failure. But the crop was almost as good this year as it has been in previous years."
Scales Transfered Here
Balance Apparatus Changed from Topeka to Pharmacy Department
An official balance apparatus, consisting of a set of standard, metrical weights and measures, has been given to the pharmacy department. This equipment was furnished the State of Kansas for the enforcement of the weights and measures law passed by the State of Kansas in 1909.
The equipment was formally kept in the office of the State food and drug inspector at Topela. But since it was purchased from a federal patented and the State Board of Health office became too small to house the equipment, it was moved to the pharmacy department later.
Chancellor Lindley was made safer of weights and measures, thereby bringing all the practical work to the University.
The weighing scales and measurements, encased in glass, are now on the second floor of the chemistry building. It is a very sensitive scale and has a set of standard weights ranging from 1 to 100 grams. It is also an official, standard yard stick.
The specific contents of the weights and measures balance are as follows:
A standard set of dry measures from a half bucket down and a set of liquid measures from a full bucket and a set of pint; a standard set of apothecary's measures from one half a gallon to one ounce and a set of metric measures from one meter down. There is also a special measurement with a double graduation delivery of cubic inches.

Potter Lake
Awaits Crashers of
Puff Pant Prom
Friday night will be a drab evening for Joe College. If he wants a date he probably won't be able to find it, and if he is able to find a girl who is willing to spend the evening with him, he probably won't have anything to wear. We'll dress up in clothes to wear to the Puff Pam Prom. From now until Friday night there will be a rush to find masculine attire to fit the feminine form and a date to drag to the brawk. Many a girl will suddenly awaken to the fact that her own sylph-like form isn't what she expected it was, and that the borrowed clothes are too soon in a place or two. There will be many a troubled hour spent in getting a feminine head of hair to look right under a derby. There will be trouble with collars and shirt fronts, and heaven help the girl who tries to make one of those trick how tie look right the first time she ever attempted
The Women's Athletic Association sponsors this annual affair from which all men are barred. Woe betide the women, as has been noted.

Last year members of a debating team from Cambridge University attended the affair. The gals were fubberbaked at seeing the women in the auditorium and forget the occasion but they regained their composition and tosed them on their air. Back in 1831 Santi Claua was allowed to crush the party on their air. Therefore it at him simply to get away.
The Puff Pant Prom for 1834 is scheduled for Friday night in the Memorial Union ballroom. Bill Hibbs and his band will play for the dancing.

Jayhawker Home Schedule to Close With Spartan Tilt
Varsity Squad Starts Practice With Skull Session; Hapgood Out With Severe Cold
Driven inside the stadium for a long skull practice by intermittent showers, the Jayhawk football squad began preparations yesterday afternoon to close their home season and open a new intercession rivalry with Michigan State College next Saturday.
