Volunteer Movement Will Hold Convention in Detroit, Mich., Dec. 28
Applications are now in order from those students who are interested in joining the Movement convention which will be held at Detroit from Dec. 29 to Jan. 8, 2013. The Office of the Director, Inc., is a fellowship in the colleges of those planning on entering some of these conferences.

Only students in colleges with an eligible for delegation credential. The last convention which was held in Indianapolis in 1924 secured 6,000 delegates.
The following are a few of the most prominent speakers of this year's convention. W. S. H. Holland, well-known speaker and former president of the university leader in British student groups France Wei, Chinese Christian press representative; Maryland secretary of security; Maryland Johnson, president of Howard University, Washington, D.C., outstanding speaker and leader in the Muslim community; Mott, chairman of World Student Christian Federation, Institute of Sacred Religions, Research, International Society for Religious Studies, National Committee of the Y.-M.

Toad Has Swift Tongue
Animal Devours Meals at Rate of 1000 per Minute
--in order to solve the problem a demonstration camera was brought in. The film was taken at the rate of one five hundredth of a second per exposure.
London, Nov. 30.—Four thousand meals a minute!
The ordinary Spanish toad who lives in the London Zoo would, i he were capable of keeping it up cat that often in sixty seconds.
It had been observed that when an ordinary marmor worm was placed within the vicinity of the lead, the worm wavened into thin air.
There was not any mystery to garding the place to which the unfortunate worm had vanished. He had gone inside the Spanish gentleman's garden, and then he hid inside an unwashed one he hadriden in on the tongue of the toad.
From the ton's point of view it was a very good trick and one he was rather proud of.
What did培姆 the officials was
the who at which this tongue moved.
From ordinary occur observation all
one saw was Toad~tow~tend
regems worm with an approving eye,
on cement on part of toad~worm gone.
The authorship went away to develop the film. Nothing was found on it which differed from the view as obtained by the naked eye.
Another film was taken, this time at three times the speed. Yes it was the tungue; it was shown hitting the ball before it hit the ground and better hitting the ball, and it moved at a rate quicker than the exstile part of a second.
Four Valley Teams Enter Stock Judging Contest
--when the aggregation paraded through the main streets of America through a crowd of 30,000 at the Atlantic seaboard towns—mayors proclaimed holidays and mothers lifted children in their arms to catch falling branches of the sensational line of march.
Chicago, Nov. 30—The interleague livestock judging teams were contesting for honors here today at the annual livestock exposition.
Among the list of 88 team in the
mountain Agricultural college, Kansas
University, A & M and the University of
Minnesota. Secretary of Agriculture, Wm.
Miller, joined U.M. yesterday and despite the heavy rain visited practically every part of the campus.
Duster White Builds Cabin
Ponce City, Okla., Nov. 21—Chris Calamus may have promoted the first wild wolf show when he presented a young calf to the Spanish court, but his claims are so remote as to be lost in the sage of bears left by the late Colonel Joe Miller.
Dr. E. A. White, of the department of chemistry, has just completed the construction of a miniature log cabin for his grandchildren. Every detail of the cabin has been worked out in a seamless foot. Only the mechanical mule in the side wall is out of proportion. Real wood builders cover the roof. A wooden floor, built into it while a light gown from the ceiling, is a real, sure 'cuffed cabin'.
Christopher Columbus in Spain Vies With North Platte, Neb. For First Wild West Honor
Data collected by Colonel Miller, for years; active head of the 101 Wild West Show, asserts that the first wild west show was taken the road at Danville, Va., and that the form of "Dr. Carver's Rocky Mountain and Prairie Exhibition."
Send the Daily Kansen home.
It was, apparently, a show of the first magnitude, and had with it numerous celebrities who corralled the old west and put it in a tent.
"Buffalo Bill" would ride at the head I "the duty column, carrying the heavy gear of the machine," a diminished genius of General Custer. The injuries "much like their brothers from the Civil War" were his part of the wildly-painted, hooting of otherwise stucked bodies of the west.
ambition; stress that Major North was his death, according to records here. North fell from his mount and was thrown into the water, their stand in Hirfield, Conn.
The success of Indian and wild wow demonstrations was first illustrated in 1870, when a troupe, known as Washburn's Sensationals, a variety show, carried a small band of red men across the streets of diggers "opens" houses.
Cody later proved to be one of the most successful wild west showmen, and he was a leader in the Cowboy and Buckalo in Ben. They were on the road for years, Lillies later affiliated with Cody. A year after the Carver won the Western title, "Texas Charlie" toured the east with him "Indian Village and Far West," advertised as a "signature sight" for the cowboys.
Eight years later, Cody was starring in the rather bloody movie, "Last Soul for Courtney" carrying with it his sense of humor that he is a cementent through street narrator.
The receiving of a degree from the University does not mean a severing if all connections with it, as is the apparent belief of some alumni.
Since then, the Buffalo Bill show and the Ranch show have been on Ranch show have been on displays, with the 10.1 Ranch now the only survivor of the muddy street摊.
Numerous Channels of News Should Keep Alumni Informed About Affairs of University
Some of the alumni seem to forget
the University after they have left
it during so long, or when they
during so. One of the most common
excuses in that they bear nothing of
what has happened, or rather they have left and that as a result
they know nothing of what is
There are many channels of news, however, which these certain alumni have evidently overlooked. Daily, biweekly and monthly news from various channels, items of every nature concerning University activities, events and people from all of those channels, every alumnus should be able to gain sufficient information to prevent his forgetting

lietly work as there are creeper plants from practically all state paers, who send in articles of interest to their respective owners.

The Alumun Association, through the aid of the Graduate Magazine proves an efficient aid in keeping the alumnus in touch with the undergraduate do all things which are sent out at intervals, the outgout the year.
Weekly there is a detailed new letter sent out to the various papers; in this news letter is contained most and least of the information as an other office furnishes it to.
Newa, through all these various events, should be able to remind the old students of hearing nothing of the University really is not valid and cannot truly

Helium May Be Salvaged
Experts Prepare to Separate Air
Arthur Wettig, Luggage 732 Mass.
Into Parts
(Science Service)
Washington, Nov. 29—Helium, the valuable safety gas so much in demand for filling bathrooms, may be obtained from ordinary air. This optimistic suggestion comes from Dr Frederick G. Cottrill of the Fixed Nitrogen Laboratory, one of the country's foremost laboratories, the chemistry of the atmosphere.
Unfortunately there is but one part of helium in 180,000 parts of common air. On the other hand there is a large industrial area based on the prospect of separation of air into its component gases in a large industrial way, whereby the gases are separated efficiently used in combustion. When this sort of wholesale air analysis is undertaken, the helium content of the gas will unquestionably get attention.
It is estimated that some 50,000,000 cubic feet of helium per year go through the blast furnaces of America and burn it to heat the air feeding the fires. If it could be salvaged, this quantity of helium alone would revolutionize the airship industry.

The Next Few Weeks Will Be Strenuous
They always are, those five or six weeks of school just between the Thanksgiving vacation and the semester's end! Just why that is so, we have never discovered.
One thing we have found however, is that we now have a large index of new patrons who take to eating at our restaurants.
Of course—
We ask—
They have learned of our quicker methods of serving, our more healthful food and in general, our all-around excellence.
That you be one of those who will make the Jayhawk your regular eating place from now until next June.
A Buying Guide
BEFORE you order dinner at a restaurant, you consult the bill-of-fare. Before you take a long trip by motor-car, you pore over road maps. Before you start out on a shopping trip, you should consult the advertisements in this paper. For the same reasons!
The advertising columns are a buying guide to you in the purchase of everything you need—including amusements! A guide that saves your time and conserves your energy; that saves useless steps and guards against false ones; that puts the s-t-e-r-t-c-h in your budget.
The advertisements in this paper are so interesting, it is difficult to see how anyone could overlook them . . . fail to profit by them. Just check with yourself and be sure that you are reading the advertisements regularly—the big ones and the little ones. It is time well spent . . . always.
Avoid time-wasting, money-wasting detours on the road to merchandise value. Read the advertising "road maps"
