All Men Can Take Part
"It is thought by many that the parade is for Freshmen only, but I would like it understood that all men students are to participate." Sol Lindenbaum chairman of the traditions committee said today. The "flying squadrons" of K-men and Ku-Ku's will be out to route out all slackers.
At South Park a huge bonfire, for which Lawrence merchants have been saving boxes and packing during the winter season.

'Baching It' Has Proved Popular Form Of Economizing Among Men Students
By Carolyn Harper, c25
Playing maid to two small bools, delivering milk at a 6 clock in the morning, totoing a horn in a night-club orchestra, and selling home made jam are some of the ways University of Kansas students help to pay their shoes. A friend decided that two could live as cheaply as one, and were married either during the summer or since school began.
K. U. men students find more ways to carring their room and board than women, "John Brown," for example, has no regular address. He pays $4.50 a month for his rent. He sleeps on top of a double bed on bed in a sleeping
porch, keeps his clothes in a room occupied by other students, and stuil on the dining room table of this I lady. Brown earns $1.25 a weel member of the local National Guard unit; out of this he pays his room for food. For his food "Jack Green," he earns his money in a similar way, has no bed at all. He sleeps on a couch in the parlor and saves $3.00 a month.
Most men who have a hard time making their expenses, find it cheaper to "batch it," to do light housekeeping. Joe Woods," *Funsy Black*," *Harry Walker*; and "Bill Roberts" rent a two-room apartment for $20 a month, and live on a budget of 44 cents a day. The majority of the "apartment stuff" comes from school, which is a week for food. John Blicky, questioned about food in his apartment, replied, "Oh, we even have roast on Sunday, and everything, especially

The barbecue is the second to be held by the military men, who plan to make it an annual fall semester event. Last year the affair was given by the R.O. T.C. nen alone, and 500 persons passed through the mass line. This year it will be made accessible with the CCC camp which was recently augmented by transfers from other camps. The camp at Lone Star has an ideal site for the barbecue, and has cooking facilities for the immense amount of food that will be prepared. The program that has been prepared will include stunts given by the R.O. T.C. members and the CCC men. The barbecue will also perform. Barbecue will also perform.

By Mary Kristin Biller, F.2.1
The students here seem to be in such a hurry that a memorandum made by Leonard O'Bryan, German exchange student in 1931, who has just returned from Germany, Mr. O'Bryon won a scholarship from the University of Berlin, and was permitted to Berlin which permitted him to remain two extra years in Germany.
Dean Werner stated that he wished to emphasize again that the banquet would be in no way interfere with the Varsity, which will start at 9:30. He said that the banquet would be over by 8:30 at the latest in order to allow time for clearing the floor for the Varsity. "Any time we do that, the banquet and banquet need have no fear of conflict of the two affairs Mr. Werner said.
"German students do not work as hard but they seem to accomplish more than American students." Mr. O'Ryan advises that he prepares preparatory training in gymnasiums and observes cubicles which correspond to our high schools. Before they leave these schools they must take a severe examination, perhaps as difficult as one of the others.
Invitations have been mailed to the parents of 3,500 students and a record attendance is anticipated.
German universities are quite different from ours. The student elects his school on the murits of the proxies, and his family travels from school to school to get the ideas of different professors. Since he is absolutely on his own, he may take up a job at one of them.

lectures. During the first six semesters, he attends lectures, and the remaining four he works on outside reading. Mr. O'Bryan explained, "German students read a great deal more in books than in lessons; they are no daily lessons but the professor gives a list of papers to be written. The student does his research independently and hands in his paper at a specified time. Textbooks are rare in many courses. No examinations are made of study, and grades are never given."
When a professor enters the room the students rap on the desk with their hands as a greeting. Popular professors get the loudest knock. When students disagree with the professor, sites and is not required to attend

The Jayhawker is running a new type of articles in the magazine this year entitled "Life at Other Big Six Missouri," in an article written by a University of Missouri student. He is very frank in stating his opinions on the subject of whether the University of Missouri is a country club or an institution of learning.

Council Accepts Plans for Hare Election System
College and Engineer Representatives Will Be Chosen Under New Plan
The Men's Student Council voted by a large majority to accept a recommendation from the committee which has been investigating the possibility of installing proportional representation at the regular meeting last night. The committee recommended that the Hare system of proportional representation be used in the future. A formal bill of enactment will be prepared for the next meeting at the University of North Carolina. In the Hare system the voter lists his choice of candidates in order of preference indicating one candidate by an x. When one candidate has received votes to elect him his surplus is distributed to those indicated in his vote. All of the offices are filled. As the system works out the strongest candidates of both parties are elected and the weakest are eliminated. The Hare system has been extensively used in municipal elections and is the most notable case.
Mykland Approves Plan
Gunnar Mykland, c35, president of the Council and chairman of the special committee, explained the new system's operation to the Council by means of a large chart. The proportional representation plan will be used in all cases where the Council of Council representatives from College and the engineering school. Other members of the committee are Reed Vorn, c34; Kesan Tillford, c35; and Walter Kuehnner, c38. W. R. Maddox, instructor in political science, has advised the problem and will serve on the committee to draw up the final bill.
In commenting on the action of the Council, Mykland said, "I am heartily in accord with the Council on this measure. I feel that the proportional voice a power to a voice a power to a voice a power to their leader in the Student College. Aside from the immediate effect in student government it seems to me that the plan presents opportunities for training in citizenship."
Lloyd Mettler b, 35; and Arnold Gilbert c, 37, were appointed as a committee to draw up a formal welcome from the Council on behalf of the student body to the convention of Coopropilium University in New York Dec. 27, 28, and 29. Mettler and Gilbert will appear personally before the convention to extend this message.
Soil Lindenbaum, c36, chairman of the traditions committee of the Council, reported on plans for the annual nightshirt parade which will be held Friday night. The parade will start at Eighthill and then move to Indiana to Eighth street, where it will turn east. From Eighth and Massachusetts a snake dance will start which will end at South Park. There will be a bounce off the pavement and pop talks from coaches and members of the team. The merchants of Lawrence are co-operating this year as in the past in furnishing packing boxes and rubbish for the bonfire which will be lit on Saturday. Plans are being made for cats and a show for men who are in night clothes. Lindenbaum said that the policing of the parade will be turned over to the K men and Kut Kus as in the past. The policing will also be attended at the conference and rally.
An appropriation of $10 was voted for the purchase of a large university flag to be used at football games, rallies and similar occasions. The Council passed a resolution favoring the employment of football players, because it is never possible in preference to outside bands. It was the feeling of the Council that inasmuch as nearly 30 students are earning all or a part of their way through the University by playing in dance orchestras that they deserve theport of the students whenever possible.
Prof. F. O. Russell, principal of Oread, will speak at the Washington County Institute next Saturday before the fall semester. Attending meetings will study arrangements for special courses in high schools. Addresses will be given in the afternoon.
