Safety to Pedestrian Purpose in Changing Campus Thoroughfares
Alteration Program to Includ Widening of Campus Walks to Ten Feet
Shrubberry is being removed in front of the Dyche Museum preparatory to certain changes that are to be made on the road between the driveway and the point where the driveway meets Oread and Fourteenth street.
The main feature of the changes are a widening of the driveway to the extent of three feet, the building is adjacent to it and presents narrow ones, and a curved driveway opposite Green hall around Fraser which, according to Mr. John Shoa, superintendent of buildings and superintendent of roads to traffic at that corner. This curved driveway will come within about fifty feet of Fraser hall and will leave a triangular plot which is saddled or planted in low shrubs.
At present it is impossible for a pedestrian to tell whether a car coming off the campus is going to go straight down Orad, down Fourteenth Street, and back to Mr. Shea, and this causes considerable hazard to foot traffic.
It is further planned to provide space for the Green memorial statue directly in front of Green hall by changing the position of the walls.
These changes will be begun immediately after the close of winter with the driving which that part of the driveway which is not now paved.
Queer Sayings Mark Homecoming Register
Several much blotted and amused pages in the visitors' register in which visitors and old-timmers put their signatures during Homecoming week will serve as a reminder that many people are young persons to see the newest building on the campus and also to become acquainted with the rest of the University. Nearly 400 persons put their names in the big book, some who were here only to see the HY conference and some for the HY conference.
Nearly every state in the middle west is represented, and many far-off states. Kansas, of course, shows the greatest number of cities that the city with the greatest representation was Kansas City. Practically every city in Kansas has its delegation. Many from these cities don't put their names on the "honor roll."
Among the distant states, Indiana is represented with three names. Persons from Indiapolis, Gary, and Indianapolis are represented by Bowling Green, O., was the sole representative of the Buckeye state, Charles L. Smith, a member of the class of 1883 came from Butte, Mont. A person registered from that state.
Some optimist, evidently expecting a dry field, wrote his prediction of the score at the top of the page. He picked Kansas to wm. 20 to 0, but failed to identify himself. Another, fearing that persons in booking over the book in the library would blots, wrote "A snow day. These blots are caused by snow dropping from hides' hats—not from tears."

All-Student Production

Doom of Party Power in Legislature Shown by Deadlock in House
Bissession in Future Will Be Between Conservatives and Liberals
Washington, D. C., Dec. 5.—The death warrant of party control of Congress has been signed. Breaking down of the two major parties Democrat and Republican, has been accomplished, meaning of what has been happening in the House of Representatives in the last two days while a little group of Progressives, or radicals whatever you please to call them is significantly more important than the election of the speaker of the House.
(United Press)
When the Progressive group wrong from Representative Longworth an agreement to open House rules to debate, they won one object.
Not only can the Progressives prevent action, but can, as they have demonstrated in the House, bring about action they desire. New groups and alignments of organizations that will soon to outwit the Progressives.
Liberalization of the House rules may be accomplished and that would be an important step, it is everywhere agreed. But this is not the greatest significance of the demonstration the Progressive group has given of its power to deadlock the House. Let the Republicans and Democrats in either the House or the Senate be able to override on any piece of legislation, and they will be helpless in the hands of the Progressive group.
Party lines that have been breaking down more and more in recent years bid fair to be obliterated because of the growth of a new line of cleavage.
On the one side will be Liberals, on the other side Conservatives. At the outset feeling between the two new groups has been extreme. It will be a new development in politics and the culture, shifting of the battling grounds and a new alignment of battling forces of Progressives and Reactionaries.

Hungry 'K'ManRuins Tea Room Etiquette
The tall journalist paused uncertainly at the foot of the steps leading to the sky parlor. He had never been to one of these tea "affairs," and he was undecided as to what occasion at such occasions. Should he go up now, look around for some fair journalist to point the way?
Now it is a well known fact that "K" men balk at nothing, and are really quite fearless personages; so this tail, handsome journalist squared his red-sweetened shoulders and grab the steep acerant to the sky orlar.
On arriving there he found several girls who paid no attention to him, chatting in a corner; but what caught his eye was the table with its array of tea things and several well-filled plates of sandwiches.
"A tea is where you get; something to eat," reasoned the hungry journalist, so he helped himself to a cup of tea and some sandwiches and went over by the window to eat and drink.
The empty tea-cup was reposing reflectedly in his hand, when the room began to fill slowly with the journalistic tea-hounds; who were served with tea and cakes by the girl delegated to pour that afternoon.
It was then that he realized he had been too early for that ceremony, but nothing daunded, he went up to the table for another cup of tea.
