Hobo Day, Parking Budget, Band Trip Subjects at Council
Activities Curtailed to Keep Within Income, Explains President Denton
PLAN NOV. 18 RALLY
An appeal to students for orderly conduct on Hoho day was made in a resolution adopted by the Men's Student Council a its meeting last week. A resolution recommending to the faculty that Thanksgiving vacation begin on Tuesday night, Nov. 22, were adopted. A contribution of $15 to the fund for sending the band to the Kansas-Missouri and other expenditures were approved.
Harold Denton, c33, president of the council made the following statement regarding the budget:
"The Council budget has been reduced about $200 under last year's budget. One or two items have been cut out entirely and an appreciable reduction made in others. The Council is cutting down as much as possible on expenses such as election, convention, council keys, etc., which are not of direct benefit to students. Our reserve fund of $300 will be sufficient for all our programs, but buttons to other student activities, not included in the budget, and other unforeseen expenses which will come up during the year."
Keep N. S. F. A. Membership
Membership in the N. S. F. A. was discussed and the Council voted to retrain its membership in the organization. The W. S. G. A. of the University withdrew this year because of lack of funds. Upon deciding to continue their affiliation with the national association the organization voted to pay them this year. There was some discussion about sending a delegate to the national convention which will be held Dec. 27-31 at New Orleans. An investigation will be made to determine the approximate cost of attending the conference. Denton expressed his hope that a delegate could be sent from Louisiana to obtain some information in regard to a General Activity fee and a student book store.
Talk Parking Regulations
A motion was made and approved for Don Rooney, chairman of the traditions committee, to plan a rally for the N.C. State game. The Council plans to enforce, more rigidly during next week, the freshman rule on wearing caps. At the rally the first year men will be permitted to discard their caps in the
The proposition of having members of the Council at the freshmen election tonight resulted in six Council men being selected to be present at the election in Central Administration to maintain order during the meeting.
Two bills were read; one pertaining to taking intramural athletic managers out of politics and the other on changes in parking regulations. These bills will come up at a later meeting for another reading and approval.
The Council unanimously adopted a resolution addressed to the faculty and the administration recommending that the Thanksgiving vacation begin on Tuesday night nov. 22, providing Kansas win the Missouri game.
The Recommendations committee reported receiving a suggestion for the use of typewriters in certain rooms in the library. Upon investigation it was learned that there are rooms reserved for that purpose on the fourth floor.
The council went on record as commending Ned Russell, c24, for his work and efficient handling of the student directory. A report of the approportion of enrolment was submitted. Last year the Men's Student Council, paid $174 toward the expense of the directory while the W. S. G. a paid $215. The council approved the expense of the department by paying $103 while the W. S. G. a pay only $100.
Ed Gift, e34, was appointed to succeed Paul Black, e33, on the Recommendations committee. Black is unable to serve on the committee because his classes conflict with the time of the meeting.
The Council approved sending flowers for the funeral of S. F. M. V. Maneel, the cartetaker of experimental animals of the Hill since 1921, who died in April.
The Council voted to hold a joint council meeting with the W. S. G. A. on Tuesday, Nov. 15, at 7:30 p. m.

Cheer Up, Flunkers,
Geniuses in Your Midst,
Says Psychologist
"There have been 'many funkers among the geniuses of the world, so cheer up!" was the advice tendered by Ms. Wynn in her class, classes in psychology yesterday, meanwhile assuming a most Polly-Annie-like expression.

"Schools have the effect of squeaching individuality, and academing personality on some minds, but this is not an excuse for intellectual穷乏."
At this turn of events, the students involuntarily shrank back in their chairs, but recived again as the professor named men such as Mr. Edison to lecture on history. Wheeler neglected to say how many flunkers are not geniuses.

Woodring Hopes 'Absentee' Ballots Will Bring Victory

Emporia.
With only 48 of the state's 2,676 prescents unreported, Landon held a lead of 4,414 votes over the Democratic incumbent. Governor Harry Woodring. Only a terrifying swing in the remaining prescents or in the absence ballot not being counted will provide victory. The United Press tabulation showed: Landon, 271,201; Woodring, 268,787; Dr John R. Brinkley, 239,983. Every county in the state were represented in the United Press report, which showed only a few scattering mostly rapid precincts were lacking.
One preciet was unreported in Wyandotte county. One downtown preciet in Chanute also was unreported, but observers consider it certain that Landen will be given a margin in the vote from that place.
The showing of Brinkley trailing nearly 20,000 votes behind Woodring in the contest, was a disappointment to his followers, who had regarded his election as almost assured after his colorful campaign.
Wooding's supporters refuse to conceive defeat, and assert they believe it possible that the absentee vote alone will re-elect the governor.
All congressional races appear to have been decided beyond a doubt with the Democrats announcing two places previously held by Republicans, and in addition returning W. A. Ayers, incumbent Democrat of many years standing from the fifth. The other Democrats believed surely elected were Miss Kathryn O'Lennihan, in the sixth district and Randolph Carpenter in the fourth.
Tax on Manufacturers to Provide Fund for Growers
Covincky, 102 by the Tiffany Trust of Chicago, Nov. 10. 10 law liberal farmers in a farm relief which amounts to a subsidy for the nation's farmers has been approved by Franklin D. Roosevelt, the United Press learned today. The United Press also learned that one of the most likely incidents with farm leaders will be a conference with farm leaders.
The plan drafted by a coalition of farm leaders, economists, and experts on agricultural problems, is known as the "voluntary domestic allotment" plan.
Roosevelt's allusions in his Topke campaign speech and in other addresses to a plan for agriculture were interpreted as pointing to this plan, which was introduced in both houses of congress near the close of the last session.
The rates provided are: wheat, a tax of 42 cents a bushel; cotton, 5 cents a pound; hogs, 2 feet a pound; tobacco, a pound and a rice and 1/2 cent a pound.
Copyright, 1922, by The United Press
That plan, its proponents admits to a subsidy for farmers at the ultimate expense of the consumer. It provides for an excise tax on form products in which there are exportable surpluses, to be paid by the manufacturer or other producer who handles human consumption, and a contractual agreement by the farmers to limit production of these commodities.
Only wheat, cotton, hops, tobacco,
and rice are named in the bill as subject
to the pact, since they are the only
nominal product under which an exportable surplus now exists.
An estimated $600,000,000 would be collected each year to be apportioned out to the growers. Each farmer would share on the basis of the average production of a given product over the last five years. Only those farmers would share in the allotment who had signed a contract to a total established by a committee.
In a specific case, it was explained the plan would work out as follows: I Farmer Jones in South Dakota raises an average of 1,000 bushels of wheat a year he would receive from the government and supplies one bushel on 600 bushels, since domestic human consumption normally uses 60 per cent of the total wheat production. That would amount to $232 he would receive over whatever he got for his wheat at the elevator. The muller would purchase at the world’s price the crop he would receive less from him the "ax" of 42 cents bushel.

Typing Room Available Library Director Says
From Baker
Agitation From Students
Brings Statement
From Baker
Agitation by some students in the University for a room in Watson library, in which they may use type-writers in their study, brought a statement today from C. M. Baker, director of libraries, saying that a room to use for this purpose has been set aside for more than a year.
Mr. Baker's statement follows:
"In response to an article in Tuesday's Kansas and a visit from a member of the Student Council, let me say that for a year or more the library has set aside room for 42 students who are working at the main desk for the key. The typing room is not to be used for conferences or for study."
The typing room is on the fourth floor and is about 12 feet by 18 feet in size. It contains two typewriter in usable conditions, chair, and a long cable in the back. The desk has books, magazines, and papers. Lighting is fairly adequate, coming from three windows and a large light in the center of the high ceiling. The room, however, was not heated at the time a restroom was located on the floor this morning.
Some students have not used the room because of its comparative uneasability. Since most of the books the student uses are at the reserve desk in the basement of the building, most times the task is to find that the rack from the basement to the fourth floor was too much to make. Some students also thought that books checked out at the reserve desk must be in the room. However, an inquiry today elicited the information and issued them a notice to use them anywhere if the building provided that the librarian notified of such intent.
Comedy Tryouts Tomorrow
'Maid of Hollywood' Cast to Be Chosen by Callahan
According to George Callahan, technical director of Fraser theater, tryouts for all parts other than the chorus in the musical comedy, "Maid in Hollywood," will begin tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 in Fraser theater. These tryouts will not be continued until after which time he will get the comedy ready to present. The dates of production are December 5, 7 and 8.
Singing and speaking parts will be chosen after tomorrow's tryouts. Any men or women trios or quartets should attend the tryout as there is a need for a speciality group of this sort, he said. Anyone with a specialty number should tryout, as the director of the comedy club will use specialists is often as possible.
The tryouts for the choruses have been nearly completed and the results will be announced in a few days. Calahan said.

After a conference with student leaders today, Chancellor Lindley announced that Hobo day would be celebrated tomorrow, preserving the custom of such a rally before the annual dance with the University of Missouri.
With University, students appearing in the campus tomorrow in Hobo dress, means have been adopted by the Men's Student Council to prevent a too exuberant interrupting the class schedule. Members of the K club and the Council will police the campus during the celebration.
A prize of $3 each will be awarded to the man and woman wearing the best "knight of the road" costume. The Council resolution adopted last night provides that all regularly enrolled students shall don such garb.
Pen Rally at Robinson
Robinson gymnastism will be the sense of the Holiday day convolution with a dance band and cheerleaders vicing each other in whipping up pop music. Then there's the command of the celebration with the pop show in front of Green hall.
Although Chancellor Lindley was in sympathy with the general desire of the students to hold the annual rally, former misuse of the Hobo day liberals endangered the project for a time. With delite assurance by the Mons Student Council that order would be ignored, the Chancellor immediately gave his consent.
Student Leaders Pledge Support
Harold Denton, c33, president of the council, Don Reney, c33, chairman of the Council's tradition committee, Bill Johnson, c33, president of the K eu0n, and Helen Heaton, c33, president of the Women's Self Governing Association as support of their respective organizations in the following statement:
Hobo Thay is one of the most picturesque traditions of the University. In the past few years, he has been awarded opportunities that have endangered its continuance. This year the faculty and administration bus system will be decertated to be held as usual, especially in view of the fact that it has not been used in the institution which had been planned.
we must the students co-operate with the Men's Student Council and the Women's Student Council, keenly and careful, end that they refrain from breaking up classes, making excessive noise in the beds and on the grounds, and from other conduct, from the intentions backfiring of cars and from other such conducts. We have the heading of Hobo day in the future.
No Activity in Buildings
To prevent the occurrence tomorrow of incidents which have marred the celebration in the past, the Council has asked that students not engage in activities inside University buildings, and at universities necessary driving of cars on the campus.
It was rumored that students in the School of Law are going to dress in exact contradiction to the idea of Hobda day, but inquiry among the students at Green Hall this afternoon failed to get any statement to that effect. "Doc Wallace, right-liped School of Law student," we have "We have statement to make."
However, the air of Green hall is tense with the idea of a universal secret, and the students can be seen look-around. Another, and an occasional wink is seen.
