Parker and Slater Are Co-Presidents for Kansas Band
Organization Chooses Two as Spokesmen; Action on Four of Six Requests
The University of Kansas band held an election after practice in the University auditorium night at night which Virgil Parker, c34, and Robert Slater, fa35 were chosen as co-presidents, and Roger Treves were selected as secretary-treasurer to the official spokesman also are to act as official spokesmen for the band.
Parker also wishes to announce that the University Daily Kansan is the official organ of the University band and that rumors heard on the campus are not authentic, even from apparently reliable sources.
According to co-President Parker, favorable action has been taken on all but two requests of the band petition and the band is co-operating in order to iron out these difficulties so that the status of their organization may be announced soon.
The executive committee of the Athletic board, at a special meeting held yesterday, considered the question of sending the band to the Tulsa game and on future football trips. After deliberation, a resolution was passed declaring that funds were not available for the Tulsa trip, and that the committee would provide appropriate expenditure for that purpose. No conclusion was reached regarding trips for other games, decision being reserved for a future meeting of the committee.
Since the faculty at its meeting Tuesday referred the action concerning credit asked for in the band petition to the administrative committee for study and report, a committee selected from the faculty is appointed accordingly in order to receive a satisfactory answer before further steps are taken in securing privileges for bandmen.

This class will be held from 7 to 8 on Tuesday and Thursday nights. The hour will be divided; the first part will be devoted to instructing the men and women separately, and during the last part instructions will be given with regard to men and women dancing together.

Gridgraph Will Enact Game With Hurricanes
Only Account of Contest Will Be Presented in Auditorium
The Tulsa-Kansas game at Tulsa, Okla. will be enacted by the gridgraph electrical reproducing board, for the University booster at home, in the auditorium at 2 p.m. Saturday. This "grid graph game" will be promoted and advertised by the Ku Ku's and Jay Janes, University men's and women's pep clubs, and the University band will furnish music for the game.
The Ku Ku's and Jay James will put out dodgers today and tomorrow, advertising the gridgraph program. Since no radio broadcast of the game will be given, this gridgraph play-by-play account may be the only one available. The gridgraph will report the game in detail as it is telegraphed directly from the Skelly field in Tulsa to the auditorium, on a special wire.
Fred Ellsworth and Dean Werner who are managing the project, state that the persons who sponsored gridgraph for the Notre Dame game, the Kansan, the Activity Ticket committee, and the Alumni association, lost money. However since the small crowd which did watch the game at the stadium was so enthusiastic and well pleased, they expect a much larger crowd this Saturday, and therefore are again sponsoring the gridgraph for a Kansas game.
The Ku Kus and Jay Janes are backing the "gridgraph game" because they consign it an excellent expression of football enthusiasm and a worthwhile enterprise. Mr. Werner and Mr. Elsworth announced that this is not only an entertainment for the students, but that it is furnishing employment for university students who are working their way through school.
Admission for the game will be 10 cents with activity books, and 20 cents, and students are urged to attend and get the game report as the play occurs.

Jayhawker Squad Leaves Tomorrow for Tilt at Tulsa
Rally at Santa Fe Station Scheduled for 7:20; Flying Squadron to Be Out
A rally to send the Kansas Jayhawkers off for their game with the Tulsa University Golden Hurricane will be held at the Santa Fe station tomorrow evening at 7:20 sharp, Hamps. Pleutze, junior cheerler, announced this afternoon. The Ku Kui, Jay James, and squadron will make its rounds to hurry up late-comers, and to look for absentees.
The team will leave Lawrence on the Santa Fe at 7:40, going to Ottawa to catch a Kansas City to Tulsa train later in the evening. Two special cars will carry the Jayhawkers, and if the demand warrants it, another will be added to take care of students and townpeople making the trip.
Pfeutzer said yesterday, in announcing the rally, that he hoped for a large crowd tomorrow night as the team leaves for its last encounter before it opens the conference schedule against the Kansas Aggies here next week. The Aggies will play this year, particularly those before and after the Notre Dame game, have been outstanding, both in size of turnout and enthusiasm displayed.
Speeches by coaches and players will feature the gathering at the station tomorrow night as the Jayhawkers leave for their fourth contest of the season. Undefeated this season, and tied only by the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame, Ad Lindsey's proteges face a tough assignment in the Tulsa University team. The team has now played highly touted Oklahoma Sooners two weeks ago to give them a 20-6 trimming, and then downed a powerful Washburn team 7-0 in Topeka last week.
Although a complete list has not been announced, it is probable that Coach Lindsey will take about thirty men on the two teams for single lineups for the two teams Saturday.

Bell That Brings Musical Despair Has "Bang Up" Career at Missouri
Columbia, Mo., Oct. 19- (UP) -The deep-toned bell in Switzler hall at the University of Missouri that has brought musical despair to countless ill-prepared scholars and evoked sighs of relief from countless others struggling to stem the verbal tides being loosed upon them by mentors, has had a really bang-up career.
During the year, Stanley Sisson, current bell-teller, estimates the great metal sides are battered into sound no less than 21,120 times. It is rung ten times a day on week days, five times on Saturday and never on Sunday; and it is supposed to chime eight times at each ringing. It is known as a "work bell" and is rung on holiday at eight, twelve, one and five o'clock.
In ringing the bell it is necessary to brace one's feet carefully against the wall, and heave sturdily three times before the tones begin to swell over the quadrangle.
Back in '08, '09, and '10, when students took more action against things disturbing to the unprepared conscience, the clapper was stolen three times and the rope was cut five times. In the fall of 1908 when the Texas football team was defeated by the Missouri Tigers the bell clapper was bound with rags and the rope was gretased. At the June commencement exercise in 1882, James S. Rollins, often called the father of the University of Missouri, presented the school with the bell to replace the old one which was cracked in 1872. In 1872 the inscriptions on the bell, commemorating the gift and naming the donor, read:

The Kaw, Ichabod Yearbook to Be Published in Three Issues
Washburn Changes Annual
Toppek, Kans, Oct. 19 - Washburn students recently voted in favor of three magazine issues of the Kaw, Ichabed year-book, instead of one book which his formerly been put out. He turned up 362 for the new plan, 170 against.
Brad Thompson, Topeka senior, editor of the book, plans to put out the first issue in December. It will be devoted principally to football and freshmen. Later numbers will appear about March 1 and June 1. Thompson plans to use a variety of feature material, including sketches of prominent alumni. A permanent binder for the three issues has been promised by Thompson and Stan Womer, business manager. They believe that the magazine idea will result in a more attractive and timely publication than the single book and will prove advantageous to advertisers. Photographs for the first issue are already being taken by a local photographer.

L. N. Lewis's Gift Great Memorial, Chancellor Says
Early Lawrence Resident and University Student Leaves Estate for School
Chancellor Lindley today issued the following statement:
"Few persons know how helpful was Mr. Lewis in every situation which called for his assistance.
"The L. N. Lewis bequest is the expression of a lifelong interest in the University. In fact it reflects the devotion of two generations of the Lewis family.
"The bequest represents the result of long and careful thought by both Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, Both Mr. and Mrs. Lewis were students at the University and they wished to provide similar opportunities for other young people through the years to come. It is a great memorial to a notable family and an inspiration to the people of Kansas."
The University ultimately will be the beneficiary of the late L. N. Lewis, local financier and former vice-president of the People's State Bank, according to the will which has been admitted to probate in the office of Probate Judge L. H. Menger. The estate, both real and personal, has been placed in trust with the Lawrence National Bank, and will be bequequed upon the University to the held usurpation and expended by the governing body of the institution acting jointly with the Chancellor. The Chancellor will have the same power in business transactions as any member of the governing body.
A provision in the will stated that the money must be used for the benefit of some part of the University which shall be located in Lawrence, and functioning in the city at that time. The estate has not yet been appraised, but estimates of its value run as high as $500,000. Upon the death of Mrs. Robert J. Landers, the National Bank will be closed, and the estate paid over to the University of Kansas, after the payment of special bequests totalling $17,000.
Mr. Lewis stated in his will that the bequest is a memorial to his father and mother:- "This bequest is made by me as a memorial to my beloved father and mother, Alexander Lewis and Mary Frances (North) Lewis-Kansas pioneers who came to Lawrence in 1857 and 1864 respectively."
Mr. Lewis was formerly a student at the University. He died suddenly at his home on the morning of Oct. 5.
