Nothing "Sissy"
About Touch Football,
Players Learn
Perhaps you have never seen a bullfight; perhaps you would like it. Undoubtedly you like comedy; perhaps drama. All this and more you can witness without charge; not even a federal tax.
The process is simple—merely wander south of the gymnasium to the intramural fields some afternoon about 4:30. Take your choice of the six practice fields, and watch one of the touch football games.
You are wrong if you think that this is a "sissy" game. Many of the boys playing on the teams were once stars in the past, but now they squads; no doubt some would do mightly well on our own varity squad. For further proof of the strenuous activity of the game we neglect that you refer to the case studies at the Watts Academy.
Unemployed Englishmen Start Riot in Hyde Park
Touch球 is ununderstood by many persons as a game in which one player lightly touches another player and he is "it". But war—there is more to the contest than that; it is unfair to tackle the ball carrier, but the motive seems to be to flow all opponents excepting the man with the ball.

Approximately a thousand youths and a few women smashed the windows of six limousines located in the Park.
Mounted police charged the rioters when the limousines were attacked. Fighting spread to four streets in the district. Many persons were arrested. There were about 50,000 people in the district, many of whom were the unemployed, shady attire.
Kansas—Fair and not so cold tonight Friday, partly cloudy and warmer.
Many fashionly dressed persons also were in the Park. Several thousand police were on duty and others were concentrated near by.

Negro students have held dances in the Memorial Union before, but they were private dances given by Negro Greek organizations. This will be the first time that dances to which admittance will be charged will be conducted by colored students of the Univer-
The question of Negro students having dances in the Memorial Union has been hanging fire for some time. Some people thought that the ballroom in the university was the comparatively small number of persons who would be in attendance.
Any profits accruing from the dances will go into a sinking fund, which is to be used for any future deficits of such dances.
The dances will be under the supervision of the auditing committee as, are other student dances. This committee is made up of a member of the Men's Student Council, a member of the W. Music Committee, Charles McCroig of the business office.

Student Council Moves to Reduce Activity Expense
Consider Compulsory Plan
That Will Cut Costs
by Boosting Total
Sales Bulk
VOTE ON PLAN LATER
A new compulsory tax proposition received consideration at the Men's Student Council meeting last night. The measure will be submitted to the student body at an election this semester. Reports from migration and freshmen cap committees were received and recommendations made.
A general outline of the compulsory tax proposition was presented. It is designed to lower the cost of the various student activities on the Hill. It is not a tax with the intention of increasing the fees or expenses of University students. As outlined it will cover the expense of the student activity and benefits donated, Union fee, budget fee, and the Jayhawk. By combining all these activities, and having all the students participate, the cost of these activities could be greatly reduced, according to Harold Denton, c3, 251).
Hobo day will be observed as usual on Nov. 11, the council decided. Three vacancies in the council need to be filled.
The Board of Regents will approve such a tax only if the consent of the student body is given. A meeting for the purpose of giving the students an opportunity to express their attitude probably will be held this semester. If a majority of the students favor the tax it will be put in effect next year.
Jayhawkers Would Cost Less
It was explained that the Jayhawker could be sold for $2.45 if 5,000 of the books were purchased. If 3,000 of them would not sell, the seller must mastly $2.50 or $2.60, a saving over the present price. Since the present student activity ticket will probably be discounted next year, the council has decided to take time for students to take some action.
A report from President F. D. Farrell, of Kansas State College, shows that more than half of the schools in the country have such a plan for student activities, and that there is very little objection to it on the part of the students in those universities that more students are interested in these schools where this plan is used.
The migration committee reported that a letter in regard to lower admission prices to games at other schools and rail rates had been drafted, and will be sent to the student councils of the Big Six schools and to T. N. Metcalf, secretary of the Big Six Faculty committee.
_Must Enforce Cap Rules
The intramural committee offered a suggestion on the selection of intramural managers. The committee was authorized to present a bill providing for managers being chosen on a merit basis rather than through politics. Securities would be made under the supervision of R. E. Biskel, intramural director.
The freshman can regulations committee reported that some first year men were not wearing their caps on the Hill and were not being paddled for this violation of freshman rules. They recommended that freshmen rather than so much paddling of freshmen for minor infringements of the rules.
Plan for Hobo Day
The council decided that the annual Hobo day would be held as usual on the day preceding the Kansas-Missouri game, Nov. 11. Plans for this day are to be made by the traditions committee, which is composed of Donald Roney, c'33, chairman; Kurt Riesen, c'33; and Walter Elder, c'34.
H. C. Turran, professor of German, and chairman of the faculty committee on eligibility, reported that there were three vacancies in council. Because of their experience, Mr. Turran will school, school, school, Bond Bond, two-year representative at-large, McKenna McKenna, graduate representative, and Roy Marcus, education representative, will not be on the council this year. New members will be elected to fill these vacancies.
