CHURCH OPEN HOUSES
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20.1929
The doors of several Lawrence churches will be thrown open to University students tonight. At these receptions opportunities for making new acquaintances and for establishing wholesome contacts are offered. The programs, no doubt, will be interesting, but the most valuable contribution of the church reception is that they bring together students who have been reared in a Christian atmosphere, and give them an impetus to maintain that atmosphere during their University career. A large percentage of those who attend the affairs tonight can be expected to be on hand for church services Sunday.
Lacking home pressure, as in many other instances, students are apt to drop church attendance, even though they have attended regularly at home. A few of them develop convictions opposed to contemporary organized religion. But the majority merely are careless. And those careless in one thing are apt to grow careless in others.
Lawrence churches are noted for their hospitality to University students. They have definite contributions to make to student life. So attend church in Lawrence unless you are satisfied that you have a good reason not to do so.
WRITING HOME
Entrance into the University is a big event in the life of any freshman but in most cases the event is of no less importance to the folks at home. Parents are about as apt to get homesick as their children who are away from home for the first time. At any rate they are intensely interested in what their freshman offspring are doing and how they are faring in their new environment. Many of them will be down often for visits. Others will not be able to do so.
But whether near or far, parents should not be left out of University activities. No news is bad news for parents with children away from home.
CLASSIFYING ROOMMATES
Roommates are of two types: first, those who compliment you when you show them the photograph of your best girl, and second, those who are moved to bring forth a trunk full of photographs of their own and expect you to admire them.
"That isn't nothing. Look at my rogue's gallery, these obnoxious persons say. All of which seems the height of sacrilege to one who has just acquired the likeness of the "only one." But the first type of roommates does exist, and may their tribe increase. For there is no more comfortable feeling than the self-satisfaction which accompanies the acquisition of a new photograph to adorn one's study table and to be admired by one's roommates. The mutual exhibition of photographic collections is of the principal activities of the first days of school.
Roommates are a sympathetic lot provided that they are in love, too.
COMING TO ITS OWN
Just as all worthy projects take time for completion, the Memorial Union building has grown slowly into its own. Not only it has gained in popularity with the students and faculty, but it has widened its scope of activity and has added various facilities from time to time.
A long-needed want has been filled by the handsome radio-phonograph which now stands next to the north wall. The addition of the memorial to those in whose memory the structure was built has added a sentimental touch which it may be hoped will
ever quite be erased. The pictures of K. U.'s war heroes will ever remember observing visitors and students of the building's origin. The dance and party floor enables Hill organizations to hold their affairs without paying a high rental for a less adequate hall downtown. The magazines, telephone booths, smoking lounge, card tables, chequer boards, easy chairs and sofas lend a restful, friendly atmosphere to the Memorial Union—a truly growing student center. As yet the work is incomplete. The game and recreation room on the basement floor romains to be finished, and private dining rooms are yet to be enclosed. Improvements and activity tending toward rounding out the work so well advanced depend upon the students and alumni who are willing to help it along.
The greatest contribution students can make toward the Memorial Union building is to make regular and frequent use of it. To enjoy what it offers will be an incentive to contribute technically to its further improvement.
Tomorrow night the Chancellor will hold his annual reception to all Hill students. An air of dignity sets this event somewhat apart from the more informal Y.M.,Y.W, mixer and the all-states party. Not only do the students become better acquainted among themselves, but they have the opportunity to meet with Doctor and Mrs Lindley, and the prominent members of the faculty.
CHANCELLOR'S RECEPTION
Personal contact between student and faculty at the University at best is infrequent, particularly between the average student and the administrative heads. Such functions as the Chancellor's reception help to bridge the gap. The large crowds which have attended receptions in the past bespeak the appreciation of them felt by both students and faculty members.

Quarrel Between Russia and China May Result in Another Epidemic of Plague With Heavy Toll of Life
If the turbulent situation in Northern Manchuca should result in a bloody invasion, the frontiers of China's northern provinces and southern silberni there would be grave danger of a plague epidemic in those regions. A suppressor for plague. This tragic possibility would take a tremendous lot of modern coin, and the mighty labor of plague workers.
The particular type of plague that is always a sinister matter to Manchuria is called pneumonia. Its specialist couse, the casticella pestis, the same as ordinary plague. According to the doctors who are constantly working to stamp it out, it is a serious infection of the different clinical symptoms. Another name by which it is called "Lung Plague." While it is not absolutely so, it is an exceedingly facile task for man to man through the respiratory tract and is especially dangerous because of the multitude of bacilli which appear about in the patient's expectation of infection. It is spread by coughing people. Because of this it is almost a deadly task for hospital workers unless they use a special plague coatings. In the Manchurian epidemics of 1910-11 and 1920-21 large numbers of medical officers, nurses and workers succeeded with engagement in the hazards task of subduing them.
Infection is Direct
De. Wn Lien-Ten, director of the Manchurian Plague Prevention Service, at Harbin, states that the aggravation of living conditions under the stressful times of war is a common factor of disastrous plague epidemics.

Because the mode of the infection is by breathing in the bacilli from infected people rather than as in the absence of contact, oculation through rats and fleas it is essential that immediate preventive measures must be concentrated upon urging, or obliging, the population to use protective masks. In the epidemic of pneumonic plague in Banchuria noted above, Doctors Strong and Teague proved that the plague germ could be carried over a distance of six and two-bird feet.
There have been two serious outbreaks of plague in Matanzas. The first occurred nearly 44,000 people dead. The second in 1920-21 when there were approximately 7,500 deaths. The danger in the Manzanares town for both the outbreaks have crept down from Siberia. Investigations prove that the outbreaks are spread through Trenbakalalla and traveling southward, comes in by way of Manzanares and follows the roots of the Chinese rabies. It has always followed the

railway and other main routes of travel loading into Manchester from liverpool, but this is no longer by an occasional death in a railroad station or a highway inn, and then it takes a sudden turn becoming a rage against the train. If the result is, it is believed, of horrors of the nervous population rushing south spreading the distressful malady with fear.
What They Say
An indication of the value of this marked difference in the number of victims during the two Manchechu civil war, was that of the territory was 13,318,507 and the total deaths were 43,492 or 3 per 1000 population. In 1920-21 the population had increased to 22,152. Of the population which died in the war, 633 per 1000, exactly ten times less.
According to Doctor Wu Lien-Tsai during the 1910-11 epidemic there were 6,000 death in a month in the city of Harbin, China. It was called the "Black Death" and found ideal conducive conditions for mud and buds, the dark alleyes and narrow streets of the congested Oriental town. All these circumstances morphofied of living environment brought about by modern biycology. At the time of the bloom of the Harbin was up by huge bournes of plague corps. Bodies were burned in batches of 400 at the rate of 1,000 per hour as the city's defenses of its dead in this manner was considered the "more and greater glorification of all other anti-aerobic efforts."
$1^{00}$
The present equipment for the prevention of distress pneumonic epidemics is administered by the Manchester Plague Prevention Services at a base in 1912. An annual budget of nearly $30,000 is expended. There are at present five hospitals and n staff of experienced medical officers in the organization. This, it is stated, is a situation under normal conditions.
Wining football teams have been coarse at the University of Kansas the past few years, and every fall some dissatisfied fans will cry. "Give us a team that will score obliterated like a father used to make."
K. F. NEEDS SUPPORT
It is regrettable that not more than twenty-five of University alumni and friends of the school were present at the lecture. Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics; Brodie Browndahl, Kansas City; Kanessa banker, who is alumnus member of the athletic board; Fred Winters, assistant football coach; Michael J. Getto, assistant football coach.

For, athletics at the State University are on a high plane. Scholastic requirements are rigid. Every man who represents his University in a team subject is subject. Moreover, athletes at the University are conducted without recourse to funds provided by the state. In addition, the University social stadium loan is at a cost of over half a million dollars, was erected by gifts from alumni and friends. As only 65 per cent of original pledges can be used to float bonds to cover this enterprise and its close associate, the Students' Union. Football is one of the few paying sports at the University, so support the non-paying ones, such as vertice the school in a country-wide the Kansas Relays and baseball. And the Kansas Relays, for instance, adhere more than any other athletic endeavor.
It is distinctly the duty and obligation of the people of Kansas to support their University team liberally, and it is not in doubt that the Conference, one of the strongest in the country, in in and year out, has been able to whooch up in that fast company. But its athletic teams must be properly financed, with a coach to whooch up for Kansas when they complain when it looses. It is another thing to buy a season football ticket because it costs.
Until Kansas as a state gets squaresly behind its university, that school will have difficulty in reaching the pinnacle of success to which the residents of this state would like to see—Ed Durino Times.
