Distance No Handicap to K. U. Student Body Securing an Education
Many Occupations Represented by Students of Various Nationalities
Distance today is no great handicap in securing an education, in the opinion of Miss Harriet Stevenson secretary of the University correspondence study bureau. Approximately 1,600 students, representing 34 states, were enrolled in the department last year, according to Miss Stevenson.
More than a dozen occupations are represented in the University's "nurses" student body. Teachers, of all ages, are there and also ministers, doctors, state senators, chemists, nurses, draftsmen, mechanics, stenographers, clocks, postmasters, salesmen and merchants. All of these are enrolled in the department.
Courses in English are the most popular, Miss StevenSON said. Other courses in uaean are economies French, Spanish, German and Latin.
Last year there were 1,961 encounters in 139 different subjects. Of this number, 1,218 were from Kansas and 718 from other states and countries. More than twice as many women as men were enrolled. Students were enrolled from all over the world, Canada, The African were children of missionaries who had no educational facilities where they were living.
The greatest demand is for subjects which offer college credit. However, there were 353 registration requests and 148 for personal benefit."
"There are a variety of reasons for the demand for correspondence study," said Mr. Stevenen, "Physical conditions make it impossible for many people to attend school in residence, so they do the next best thing. Lack of money to attend is also an important factor."
"Many, however, take the work merely as a means of utilizing their spare time and for self-improvement. An example of this is the recent enrolment of a president of a small Kansas college."

Hermit on Kaw River Was Builder of Frasoe
On the south bank of the Kaw river stands an old bont which has been converted into a house by its owner, an old man 82 years old. The owner had died and that he was one of the masses who helped to erect Fraser hall in 1871.
His name is Charles Richardson,
and he was born in Newcastle, Ind.
where he lived until the beginning of
the Civil War, when he enlisted in
the Union army and served under
General Sherman.
During his service in the army he had both hips broken while tearing off a railroad at Nashville, Teen.
Mr. Richardson came through Lawrence immediately after the war on his way West to hunt buffalo and on his description the town as a "famous of the wild" one, where he stone houses standing here and there." He returned to Lawrence in 1870 and worked on Fraser hall until its completion in 1872. In 1873 Mr. Richardson married and went back to Newcastle, Bol., where he lived until his death.
Thirteen years ago he returned to Lawrence. Shortly after his return he became ill and decided the only way he could live would be in the open. Consequently he erected a tent on the banks of the Kaw river.
Five years ago, Mr. Richardson began work on the houseboat with the intention of going down the river. Since the completion of the bourn three years ago, he has decided not to launch it but to use it for a house during the remainder of the building period. This has family but its attraction for this old man and he is content to live the remainder of his life, a berret.

Tax Reduction Plan,
Backed by Democrats,
Is Again in Limelight
As Robinson Opens Conference Republicans Begin Attacks on Scheme
(United Press)
Washington, Oct. 8- Political exponent stirred up by the Democratic plan to reduce taxes again this winter increased today.
As Senator Robinson, Democratic floor leader, opened a series of conferences with his lieutenants to develop the Democratic thrust. Republicans began to throw cold water upon the scheme.
Senator Borah, Republican, Iaino, who has taken a leading part in incumbent tax fights—not always on the side of the administration—ridicled the Democratic plan as a political movement impossible of fulfillment.
But Robinson is optimistic
"If we have a surplus like the Republicans claim there is no occasion for waiting for a tax reduction until 1928," he said. "The people are entitled to a reduction and we will try to give it to them."
There will be no effort at tax reduction at the coming session of congress, Borah predicted, despite Robinson's simultaneous statement that the Democrats intended to put the vote to a vote, with the prospect of success.
Borah declared the short session is too brief to permit intelligent study of a complicated tax problem and that if the matter is to be discussed there would have to be an extra session next March.
Student Editors Coming
Many More Rooms Are Needed to House Visitors
From all indications, the annual conference of high school editors which is to be held at the University Oct. 15 and 16, will be the largest conference of its kind ever held at the University.
Prof. L. N. Flint, of the department of journalism, sent out blanks to the high schools over the state asking for the number of representatives which will be from their school. So far he has informed information that 104 declarates will be made.
All reports are not in yet, and the total is expected to reach two hundred. This will be a much greater number than has ever attended the conference before, and many more rooms are needed.
The fraternities and sororites have promised a large number of rooms but they cannot accommodate all the delegates. Anyone who can accommodate even one person is urgently requested to call Mary Nell Hamilton phone 1814, and leave his name are address.
"This will be the largest gathering of high school students at the University for some time," Mary Engel, president of the Press Club said. She feels assured that everyone connected with the University will co-operate in these events, sustaining a lasting and favorable impression of K. U.

The same scheme of auditing the judges score sheet as used last year was adopted for this year, but slight changes were made in the scoring system to make it correspond with the New York system of scoring.
New Plan Advanced
A new idea was presented at the meeting which seemed to find favor with those present. It was suggested that a formation of a League club contest group should be organized in Kansas colleges now included in the Kansas State College Athletic Conference.
The winner in this local context, it was suggested, should be invited to complete in the annual Missouri Valley Glee Club Context. No delimiters were used for determining the matter but the outlook for such a formation is very bright.
