THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Duties of Alumni Office Increase; Started in 1883
Association Now Publishs Graduate Magazine and Keeps up List of Graduates
To keep in touch with 35,000 former students of K. U. who are seated throughout the United States and in all countries of the world is to have an office in charge of Alfred G. Hill, secretary of the Alumni Association. The association was formed in 1883 and reorganized with an executive secretary. Alfred G. Hill has rapidly extended its activities and the scope of its service.
More than 15,000 current addresses are on file at the office and the pieces of mail sent out annually number about 200,000. The lists of graduates and former students are not only filed alphabetically, but by locality, and in the case of graduates, by the year of graduation. A modern markup is used which makes possible the sending of mail to any list or division of a list, such as Memorial contributors or non-contributors.
Few Divorces Among Graduates
Few Divorces Among Graduates
In addition to the keeping of the records, a monthly magazine of the university has been published since 1992. The Graduate Magazine gives the current news of the University and serves as a clearing house of information of K. U. people. The number of post items concerning former students which are available within a year averages about 4,000.
Some interesting facts have been revealed in the marriages which are reported. From the 200 marriages reported annually, Mr. Hill has drawn the deduction that a youth coming to K. U. has about one chance in two of marrying a girl he meets while in school. More than 500 marriages are recorded where both husband and wife are K. U. graduates. Of this number, which have been only once, which is a remarkable event when the ratio of divorces to marriages in the state is less than 1 to 7.
Local Clubs Encouraged
Local The Alumni Association, through its executive secretary, Mr. Hill, seeks to encourage local K. U. organizations. At the present time there are about sixty of these clubs which are active - Radio Night is one method of fostering these clubs. The second Radio Night, Dec. 10, is the official time for the electing of new officers and the formation of new clubs. The Alumni Office is sending lists to the Associate students to those in the establishment in the establishment of a local association in their community.
Association Is Self-Supporting
These local organizations are usually very closely connected with the present university life. This is not only true in social life, as illustrated by the recent banquet given to long-term professors by the Toparks association, but extended to legislative campaigns in mission courses, and urging ready the machinery for such campaigns as that for the Memorial.
Association Is Self-Supporting
The Alumni office is particularly active on two and a half occasions, commencement, in providing entertainment for returned former students and in preparation for class reunions. It also helps in preparing students for conference events after they have left Lawrence.
The support given by 4,000 University of Kansas alumni makes the Alumni office self-supporting with the exception of an annual appropriation from the state for the keeping of former student records. In this respect Kansas leads the other state universities of the Missouri Valley.
Hillside Bleachers Added for Homecoming Crowds
Bleachers seating more than one thousand persons will be erected on the slope of the hill south of the stadium in preparation for a flow at the Thanksgiving game, according to an announcement by the athletic board this morning. The bill will be passed on April 15 if fifty cents be made for the seats.
"We have had numerous requests for seafas on the hill from those who in addition to watching the game, want a bird-seye view of the crowd. Acting on this suggestion we ran some levels and found that bleachers could be located far south, upwards the slope so that the stands south of the field would not interfere with view of the plays," said Coach Bunn, who is directing the work. The Teachers which are in the gymnasium will be used.

General Von Seeckht Will Remain Dictator if Albert Succeeds
Formation of German Ministry Under New Leader Remains in Doubt
Berlin, Nov. 26, (U. P.)—General Voen Secktch, Germany's unofficial dictator, still will be the dictator behind the government if Doctor Heinrich F. Albert, latest to try his band at the helm of the flooring ship of state, succeeds in forming a cabinet.
Von Seeckht's power is growing. It is understood President Ebert is writing Doctor Albert to form a ministry consented the general as to whether the former minister of the Cabo Canino cabinet would be acceptable.
Doctor Albert prior to the entry of the United States into the war was Germany's fiscal agent there. It is understood he has agreed to accept the chancellorship only on the condition he shall have a mandate enabling him to dissolve the Reichstag at any time.
If he should resort to this extreme, Doctor Albert would nonimply remain head of the government but actually the real power would revert to the military ordinances and Von Seekhtt.
