"Find Yourself at the University",
was the title of the address given last night by Chancellor K. H. Lind

"We come into contact with many worlds in life," said Chancellor Lindley, "the world of athletics, society, family, science, art, history, philosophy, business, politics, love, morals, religion and intellect. It is our problem," he explained, "to develop our mental and physical powers in them to work together in order to adjust ourselves to these worlds."

He pointed out that we must have a foundation for these many worlds and to do this we must develop a surplus. To develop a surplus we must go through an orderly mental life. Among those things which he needs to develop are the mental life are first; a healthy body, "It is the best generator of surplus," he said, "and in order to have a healthy body one must eat good food, have good ventilation and form good habits. Second, normal healthy interests; third, proper response to the stimulus; fourth, responsibility to the stimulus; fifth, success, which is the outset of every new adjustment.
"Human nature cannot go on work without winning some victories don't justify yourself for failures build your life of out失的; trans victory into defeat", said Chan celler Lindley in closing.
The remainder of the evening's program included organ music by Lee Greene, assistant instructor in the School of Fine Arts, and K. U. songs by members of the Gisie Club, by members of the Gisie Club, and the cheer leader, Bill Riese.

Convocations were held for various reasons. One for religious week, one for Christmas, one for honors, as well as one to welcome the students back

Many Vacancies Still Remain in Glee Club, T. A. Larremore Says
First Trials May Be Complete Tonight; First Tenors and Basses Scarce
The men's glee club trains to date have been characterized by an unusually small number of possible first tenors and second basses, according to Prof. T. A. Larrmorem, director. Every candidate so far tried, who can possibly qualify in either classification has been awarded a second trial, he said.
"There are man vacancies in each of these parts in the club this year." Professor Larmoremie declared, "and any man who can sing either of such parts has an unusual chance of make-up," he added. He was classed as first treasors and nine as second basers. Therefore anybody who feels like trying out is urged to submit his name to me at once.
Candidates should fill out one of the application cards hanging outside the office door. They must leave the card under the offdoor door, and watch the Kanman and the new glee club bulletin board between Dyche museum and Green ball for notice of call for trial. Professor Larmore
Places are still open in the second tenor and baritone sections although there is much more material for three parts among the candidates.
Essay Title Announced
Professor Larremirete will attempt to complete first trials tonight. If first trials can be completed, second trials will begin tomorrow. Professor Larremirete announced. The list of men called for a second trial will appear in the Kaman and on the bulletin board.

Carl Niemeyer Gets Honorable Mention in Contest
Carl Niemeyer, e27, has broken into the literary field by publication of his short story, "The Comedy of a Queen," in the September issue of Harper's Magazine. The acceptance of his work was a result of a nationwide contest sponsored by them last spring in which they offered three cash prizes for the best short story, composition, sketch or play by a college undergraduate. The winner's story did not win a prize, it was considered worthy of publication.
Niemeyer's study was ranked first by the University of Kansas committee, consisting of Prof. W. S. Johnson, and then by the Alken of the English department, which was appointed by Harper's to judge all manuscripts entered by K. U. students. Although the committee was dissatisfied with Harper's judgment, which they thought would be acceptable for publication in the magazine, only three were chosen as measuring up to this standard. Niemeyer is taking his major in the English department.
Prof. D. L. Patterson returned to and will meet his three hour classes Wednesday and his two hour classes on Thursday—F. H. Hodder.
