10 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 24 VOL. XXV Initiation Service to Symbolize Rise of K. U. Tradition Ceremony to Take Place Thursday in Stadium; Students Urged to Attend "Too much emphasis cannot be placed on the fact that the initiation ceremony to be held Thursday night at the stadium is for all students in attendance. This is not alone." This was the statement of Frank M. Dawson, men's student adviser, and chairman of the committee in charge of the event. Mr. Dawson said, "Mr. Dawson, 'very few of the old students have turned out for the occasion, and we want them to be this year to attend the ceremony and to add to their symbols." Pennants advertising the event have been placed on boards around the campus, and they point to the students' work, pennants, and not only for the new men and women. No Faculty Procession This year, according to Mr. Davson, there will be no procession of faculty members and students going in order down the aisle to the stadium, which will go directly to the stadium at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 29, barring inclement weather. The freshmen will occupy a second row in the center of the stadium. The west stadium will be used for the ceremony this year instead of the east side. The change was made and the eastern half of the horseshoe would make its use inconvenient, but because the west side gets a better view of the event, it adds to the effectiveness of the symbolism of the work. On the platform to be erected in front of the west stadium, the ceremony will take place, with Chancellor E. H. Lindley presiding, recognizing the graduate school, and the senior, junior, sophomore, and freshman classes will be on the stage. The symbolic part of the ceremony consists of parting the account of the burning bash which was not consumed. A talk will be given concerning the early history of the University of Kansas involved by a short address by a representative of the Alum.

Women's Glee Club Short A uniformed runner will carry the torch the rest of the way to the stairium, and will represent the representative. He in turn will hand it to the representative of the Graduate School, and on to the class representatives. He will also represent the torch to light the altar fire, and thus the symbolism will be complete. Chancellor Linden will explain the meaning of the symbolism in the symbolic symbol of the growth of the University from a small beginning to its present size, and the handing down of the various symbols to the next generation, how how how the University is passed on from one generation to the next. an adaptation of the old Adam anatomy which every student will take, will then be given to the new students, and the ceremonial Crimson and the Blu.

Democratic States Unable to Settle on 1928 Prospect Republicans Are Undecided Hoover Will Likely Be Chosen as One Candidate (United Press) Washington, Sept. 27. - Delegate uninstructed or pledged to some mine, favorite son will probably be sent by president for the conventional convention to oppose the candidacy of Governor Smith of New York unless some dry Moses rises to rally Smith's opponents, a political survey indicates. PRESSure hurries in the area indicate. Democrats of the vast territory from the Atlantic ocean to Nevada are settled upon no candidate but are amused with opposition to Smith, the Republicans of this Democratic expense are sitting by President Coolidge until they can ascertain why the Republican will always like to be with the winning candidate to parade of patronage appalliance in their federal positions in these 16 states. If it becomes apparent later that Mr. Coolidge will not be drafted, then Secretary of Commerce Hoover may send an official letter to the northern legates, the report indicates. However has won so much approval in Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana that it has been called a food relief, that there is considerable speculation about what will be done in these nominally democratic states. In 1928, the candidates of their respective parties in 1928. These threats have been made that the states will be for It is generally felt, however, that the South will remain in the Democratic column in 1928 no matter who is nominated. Senator Fleetcher, Democratic, Florida, for one, believes that while his own party has not been elected to Smith, it would vote for the New York governor if he were a nominee. McAdoo's stated withdrawal caused no great surprise and has made no reason to doubt his commitment; the region gave him almost full support in the last Democrat national convention, and he was given hope of McAdoo's nomination and began to talk about the pledging of a candidate. Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri recently went through the South and was received by the Georgia legislature, but with his own assistance the South is fundamentally dry. That, fundamentally, is the basis of the opposition to Smith. Reed, Missouri, Is Not Candidate for Senator (United Press) Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 27—Close friends of Senator James A. Reed today said he could definitely be counted out of the possibilities to nominate a democratic candidate. 1928 Thus, with hope that he would reverse his previous decision and continue his work, Mr. Reed entirely gone, the Reed following today began casting about for new senatoria Several names are being discussed. They include former governor Fred D. Gardner, Representative R. F. Lozier of Carver County, Kansas City Kossett, Gosset is also being mentioned for the governorship and Lozier has stated openly that he would not consider the race against him. Senator Reed will not be a candidate. Friends of Reed believe he will run for the Democratic presidential nomination or nothing at all. He has steadily maintained that he will win. He has inspired hope among his friends that he will carry his party's standard in 1928.

A large chair, made several years ago in TeX, of 18 massive Steel steering box. It is a work of art by Harriet, curator, in the paleontology department of Dyche museum. The chair itself restores, because any one who sits in it can not repose. It is the ultimate chair in a chair, with its great arm expanses of delicately colored and beautifully polished horrs, and while it may be comfortable in construction, it only isn't comfortable in construction. Mr. Martin was asked if the horn chair was his "official pet," and he answered, "No." He said his half-worthy ulmnet sid off his nose. Upon being asked to sit in the chair, the inquisitor discovered that the deep red cushion and back rest were only used to elevate the to the true condition of the chair.
