"There seems to be a special demand for No. 6 notebook paper and theme paper," continued one of the librarians. "Wrist quantities of such could easily be disposed of; if actually trade could be entered into here."
"Recently," said another librarian "o student was in a terrible plight with a locked suit case. He was certain that some key in our collection would surely help him out of his difficulty.
"Quite often the students give wryey from their study and it is often when they are forced monetory by writing a few letters. "The demand for paper and envelopes sweeps down upon us like an avalanche at such times. Some nitty-gritty facts."

privileges is not only surprizing but interesting. Some ask to use the private office desk for their work; others ask repeatedly to be permitted to go back in the stacks and find the books they desire to use.
In addition to these requests, there are many who would much prefer using the office telephone to the pay phone down stairs.
Articles left in books make quite an interesting collection. The usual collection is as follows: Letters, both sealed and unsealed; notes, bearing devoted messages; combs, glasses, glass cases, exquisite handbills, notebooks (small size), assignment lists, pens, and pencils.
The daily collection of compacts and lip sticks make another interesting item. Almost every variety of lipstick is to be found in the assortment.
Students quite often reveal their sketching ability in illustrative work which they add to the various books. Their sketches serve their intended purpose, make a busy laugh to the individual who discovers them, it was told.
Opinions, too, of the text material are often included. In one text, the following lines were written:

Belief Is That Corruption Will Result from the Old Convention Systems
Senators Johnson and Borah Defend Direct Primaries
Washington, Oct. 14—Senators Borah, Republican, Idaho, and Johnson, Republican, California, today defended the direct primary system following Vice-President Dawes Philadelphia attack upon it, and charged that the corrupt politicians wanted the system reenrolled.
"The fathers who want to buy nominations" were said by Johnson to be the chief promoter of a national prognostic company to campaign primaries and return to the old covid system; Bizak held that the repeller' idea seems to make a correction in public office cleanliness.
Johnson remarked that the convention system facilitated the buying of nominations, but the primary plan rendered purchase more difficult. Exposure of the primary system of heavy expenditures was more likely he held, pointing to the revolution of 1917 and the establishment Pennsylvania. The expenditures in these states, he said, were "repugnant and abhorrent."
He suggested that, there was no difference between a public utility corporation contribution and illegitimate expenditures by a number of the cabins. Discussion of an infant incident in a public building is often described as "reason," he said sarcastically.
Senator Norris, Republican, Nebraska, another strong primary supporter is going to Pennsylvania this week to campaign for William B. Wilson, Democrat, opposing representative William S. Vare for the Senate now hold by George Wharton Pepper. His campaigning for a Democratic nomination has come as a result of his chances of being elected chairman of the judicial committee—succeeding the bid. Senator Commons of Iowa.

Another feature is the old English way of placing the better and higher prized instruments in the balcony instead of down below.
The Patee theater, which has been closed for remodeling will open today. Oct. 14. The Patee was the first theater west of the Mississippi and the second in the United States that showed moving pictures exclusively. It was opened in the old Tribune building and Chair Patee purchased its former light plant at that time because there was no plant in Lawrence.
Redecorated Patee Theater to Be Opened for Business Today
"No bame is attached to any person for this, as it was primarily due to the election being held too soon to have properly checked voting lists ready," Frank M. Dawson, men's student adviser, said after the action of the election committee was taken.
The lower floor will be as it has been in the past while the second floor contains the lobby. This style differs from most of the theaters. The walls have been rehabilitated in blue and gold and a new ventilating system has been installed which will direct air to the rooms of the building with no drafts.

It was impossible to get the registration lists for the men from the Registrar's office until Saturday and the women's list unit Tuesday afternoon. The University stenographic worked overtime Monday and yesterday because of the lack of time, was unable to check them thoroughly.
In addition to this, a large number of cards showing that the voting student fee was waived, the annual tuition fees were overloaded in a business office. These were the receipts of those who had paid their council fees, without purchasing one.
Mass Campaigning Over
Mass Camping Over
"The election committee regularly very much recognizes that every student who has paid fee is entitled to vote, and in all fairness the election should be postponed until the voting disk can be adequately prepared and checked," said Walter Fees, 27, chairman of the council committee. The other members of the committee are Rustell Hays and John Engle.
Both parties have agreed to cease mass campaigning and advertising of all kinds—newspapers, plaques, posters, and handbills. Individual campaigning, out of time, and circuitous, will go on with the same fervor as has been shown so far in the campaign.
The votes must be "accepted". The election committee is particularly vigilant upon all students that if their votes are to be counted they must be cast Thursday, regardless of the act whether or not they voted today. Those who voted today must cast their ballots again next Thursday, as all ballots marked "cancelled" by the vote was called off, less than three hundred students had voted.
Little interest had been manifested in the campaign up to this morning. Rallies by the two parties last night failed to bring out the crowds which mostly participate in the political gatherings. Electioneering, however, was more notable this morning, as many of the polling places, passing out their personal cards and urging students to vote for them. Walks and grounds near the polls were littered with cards and crumpled handbills.
This is the first time in the history of the University that such an incident has occurred, although elections were carried out several weeks earlier in the year.

The amount is more than has ever been reported by campaigning according to Miss Marie Ressman, secretary of the V., W. C. A. Complete reports will probably be made the latter part of the week.
