Cabinet Restores 10 o'Clock Closing Hour for Library
Lengthened Time Is Result of Larger Enrollment; Will Go in Effect Tonight
The Chancellor's Cabinet voted Saturday to restore the 10 o'clock closing hour at Watson Library and branch libraries. The new closing hour will go into effect tonight. Enrollment this semester was larger than anticipated and the additional money from fees will be used to meet the greater expense of keeping the library open an hour longer.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 183
C. M. Baker, director of libraries,
made a study of attendance last spring
and the averages were determined to
be 61.59, 5.45, 36; 6.15, 19;
6:45, 27; 7.09, 43.
The Cabinet dismissed the suggested closing hour of the library from 5 to 7 in the evening, as many students are unable to study in the library only at that time.
The length of the library hours during the second semester will depend upon the enrollment figures at that time.
The 9 o'clock closing hour was first begun in the summer session and was taken as an economy measure. However, student opinion this fall has been decidedly against the shorter hours.
Plan Socialized Recreation
American Government Class at Training School Tries Experiment
Socialized recitation is being applied in the American government class at Oread Training School, under the direction of Miss Ritch Luten, with Elizabeth Howe and Katherine Marion as practice teachers. The class, which is open to seniors, includes a study of the constitution.
Special preparation is made to lead the students into the specific problems of social and civic control. Discussion and debates are held daily; the students gather data so they can argue the important points of problems. One subject being debated is America's recognition of the Russian government.
"Socialized recitation is discussed a great deal but is seldom told," said F. O. Russell, principal of Oread High "We should be glad to have anyone who is interested visit our American history class."
CARS COLLIDE THIS NOON
ON FOURTEENTH STREET HILL
An accident of small consequence occurred near the intersection of Fourteenth and Louisiana streets this noon when a Ford driven by E. R. Lucas, instructor in anatomy, collided from the rear with a model T Ford driven by Delos Douglas, c. 195.
Merchants Bureau Meets
Apparently, Lucas did not drive out far enough in passing, and unable to slow down in time, run the right front wheel of his car over the left rear fender of the Model T. With the aid of some of the curious students who had gathered at the scene, the cars were separated. The only damage which resulted was a crumpled fender on Douglas's car.
The Lawrence merchants bureau met last night at the Eldridge hotel. They discussed the matter of closing the stores on Armistice day. Since the Kansas-Nebraska football game is to be played in Lincoln that day, many merchants expressed the desire to close the stores. Action was left to a committee.

The Blair Trophy, which was offered by William F. Blair, c'33, sportman, and which is now on a shelf of the psychology office, is an imposing affair.

Horse." It is of particular interest that before the contest "The Dark Horse" had opened her scams and sank and up to a short while before the race was in dry dock for repairs. This fact caused the heavy odds against her and so furnished a particularly thrilling race for the 25 or 30 spectators, and a very profitable one for the backers of "The Dark Horse."

STATISTICS GIVE K-AGGIES
EDGE ON JAYHAWKER TEAM
IN ANNUAL CONTEST HERE
During the last five-year period of Kansas-Kansas State football games there has been set up a standard for the dopers to figure the winner of this all-state fray.
In the last five games played between the two schools Kansas has won three, each game having been won on Man-land. The team has been on the Memorial stadium field.
Another check shows that the winning team each time was not scored by their opponents.
The Kansas team increased their margin of victory by one touchdown in each of their wins, while the same holds true of the Aggies.
The scores of the last five years starting with 1922 are as follows State
7 0
0 6
14 0
0 13
19 0
According to this way of figuring dope it appears to be the Aggies' time to win, but the Jayhawker squad is not satisfied with this method, and they will fray the Jayhawkers will ruffle their feathers to meet the Aggie Wildcat.

The scholarship average of the University for the year 1932-1933 shows an increase over last year, according to the annual undergraduate scholarship report which was issued this morning by Geo. O. Foster, registrar.
Delta Sigma Lambda Places First Among Fraternities; Triangle Is Second
Among the general groups, all but one showed higher point average than last year's average. This average is obtained by alloting 3 points for each credit hour of A in the organization, 2 points for each hour of B, 1 for C, nothing for D, and subtracting a point for each hour of F. The points are then totalled and divided by the number of students concerned.
Among the national sororites, Delta Zeta ranked first, advancing from twelfth place last year. Alpha Gamma Beta ranked second, from tenth place last year.
In cases of apparent ties, the decimals have been carried out to four places, and the organizations listed accordingly. Only active undergraduate members have been considered in securing these averages.
Delta Sigma Lambda placed first in the inter-fraternity conference, coming up from sixth to win the cup offered by the combined national fraternities. Triangle won second place among fraternities.
Among the honorary fraternities, Pi Kappa Lambda (music) held the first place which it won last year, as did Delta Phi Delta (art) among professional fraternities. The complete report follows:
