Enrollment Drive for Chorus Ends With Five Hundred
Officers Elected at Meeting Last Night; Swarthout Orders More Copies of Messiah

Last Month Was Second Coldest October Since 1895
Weather Report Published
October, a year ago, was one of the warmest during the fifty-six years since 1917. With the single exception of 1917, this year's October has been the oldest since 1896. A minimum of 32 hours precedes the last day of the month.
Cold weather and excessive rainfall were predominate in establishing a record for October, according to the October weather report of the University Meteorological Station. Last month was among the coldest recorded at this station. The rainfall of 5.07 inches gave the university a record of 282 inches. On the morning of the 21st, the first killing frost of autumn was recorded
It is a curious coincidence that every fifth October since 1808 has had excessive rainfall. Only twice since 1808 has rain fell on more than twelve days. Of these, the hardest rain of 0.88 inches fell on the 12. Over half of the time of possible sunshine was cloudy. Fogs occurred on five days.

Lady Luck Throws Horseshoe in Path of Charging Sooners Disquised as Speeding Player
Nevermire will we deciy the music power of the horsehose. Never again will we laugh at our more superstitious brethren. The horsehose has established itself as a fetish of the highest order with K. U. football men. Let all Kansans from this day forth give it due reverence, and let them cherish this particular horsehoe for future Oklahoma games.
For it was last year, on the day of the Oklahoma game, that "Bun," well known to College Inn patrons, found the horsehoe. Now "Bun." (Bun's initials of such a find on a day of such moment, did not forget the humble taliism after the victorious outcome of the game. No, with Bun, he had to put it away, and, carefully guarded it, remained in his possession until one day last week. On that day, thinking it time to put it to work again, "Bun" presented his horsehoe, still painted white, to Harold Burt.

Mechanics Illustrate Engineering Problems by Assembling Motor
Marmon Demonstrator Will Give Lecture Wednesday Night at Marvin Hall
Thirty-nine and a half minutes was all the time required by two mechanics to completely dismantle and re-assemble a Marmon automobile engine Tuesday in the mechanical engineering laboratory.
While the mechanics were at work, F. B. Harding, representative of the Nordyke-Marmon Company of indianapolis, Ind., explained the operations and lectured on the construction of the engine.
The mechanics who gave the demonstration were John Laffkin from the Marmoon factory and George Worthington of the company of Kansas City. Many of the audience expressed surprise at the wonderful speed and dexterity displayed by Mr. Laffkin in handling and performing the various operations.
"The reason Mr. Lafkin is here instead of at the factory," jokingly explained Mr. Harding, "that they had to get him off of piece work at the factory before he bankrupted the company."
"The purpose in giving this demonstration at the University," said Mr. Harding, "is to illustrate to the students the various engineering problems encountered in designing and building a modern motor car; the variety of sensors used to free of accessibility which is possible in a six cylinder engine."
The student directories for 1923-
24 which will be ready for distribution at the Registrar's office within the next few days, will be given out only to those students who have filled out blue cards, according to George O. Foster, registrar.
Mr. Harding will give an illustrated lecture at 7:30 Wednesday evening on the second floor of Marvin hall. The subject will be "Production Methods Used in Making a Modern High Grade Automobile."
New Student Directory Will Be Given Out Soor
The blue cards, on which the schedule of courses for the current semester, the home and local address of the student, and other information required by the Register's office and will be open to the public. Heretofore such information has been obtainable only from the offices of the deans of the various schools, and to commence in all concerned, according to Mr. Foster.
The cards also have a space for the recording of the grades received for the semester. The record of his grades will be mailed to every student enrolled in the University in the stamped envelope which every student is supposed to file with the Registrar.
Donald Huddleston, c.26; Harvey Laundock, c.26, and Webb Hutton, ft, attached the fall party at the Pi Kapel house in Manhattan on Saturday.
he praised, received the charm with all reverence. For the rest of the week, he carried it by day; his pillow covered it of nights. In his books, he recited verses and meditated on its potency. He carried it with him to Soomland.
The game started, Burt on the side lines—his horsehoe beside him. A few moments of play-Oklahmova moving steadily towards our goal line—"Burt!" Who knows with what final muttered supplications-Burt left his cherished talsism! At my rate, he entered the play.
Is it necessary to recount what happened then? How? The tide turned, and K. U. surged on to victory from that moment? How Burt, carrying the ball on end runs, made first downs galore? How Burt, hitting the line, went through for incredible gains? How Burt, twice in succession, annihilated Oklahoma's defenses while he won the game. How Burt, given the bail on third and fourth downs, never 'failed us once?'
Prim Prues Purchase Plenty Pretty Prunes
Do college students like prunes? "Goodness, yet," exclaimed the supervisors of the state school cafeterias who were assembled in Tepeka last week at the office of A. A.Doerr, state business manager, to sell stock. We heaviest purchases made by each of the six supervisors was prunes.
All honor be to the horseshoe May it ever remain with us!
The humble prune, the "landmark" stand-by," and the "necessary evil of the menu" has come into its own. The student no longer has to eat prunes in the house, the cafeteria diner does not have to select prunes unless he cares to. They are no longer a cheap food as the wholesale price is around 15 to 18 cents a pound. So the thing faced. College students like prunes.
The meeting lags week of all the managers of state school cafeterias was the first time the supervisors co-operated in the purchase of supplies. By this method they can get lower prices than by buying indebted employees. Thephybrary manager of the University Commons, attended the meeting.
Although the University of Kansas has the largest enrollment of any of the state schools, its cafeferian patronage is smaller than that of the other schools.

Neither Political Party Can Claim Many New Votes
Results This Year Show no Drastic Changes Since the Last General Election
Washington, Nov. 7. (U. P.)—Election results in the "off-white" counted in the thirteen states showed clearly today that neither the Republican nor Democratic parties could win in the state. Results showed in the last general election.
There was however more encouragement for the Democrats in the results than for the Republicans although both parties could claim entire justification that no accurate appraisal of the national trend could be based on yesterday's voting. Democrats, who held the Longest Government outwagged a huge Republican majority, registered in 1920, appeared today to be holding the ground gained in 1922, speaking generally.
MORGANITE VOTED IN N.Y.
In May they won notable gain where the Republican governor in Kentucky, a state that went Republican as to state officers and won United States Senator in 1920. Nowhere were the Democratic prelection hopes disappointed. When there was a basis for such hopes, except possibly in New York state where Governor Al Smith's forces had hoped to capture control of the state assembly. They suffered a decided set-back. The Republican军官riried him. The RepublicanThis was a set-back for Smith but such are New York politics that it can not be called very significant.
The Ku Klux Klan's sweeping victory in the Ohio city elections was causing much comment among political leaders here today. Taken in connection with the development it has created, the Ku Klux Klan into state and national politics in 1924 to a degree that will embarrass many candidates.
Divide On Prohibition
There was liberal indication in the scattered contests of the lineup on prohibition.
The drys won in New Jersey, apparently, and that may bring former Senator Joe Freelinghysen to the front as the Republican leader there. The wets won in Maryland as everybody expected they would, be elected. In an election, it is a highly popular government aside from his views on prohibition.
The elections yesterday whetted the appetites of both Republican and Democratic leaders for renewal of the eternal struggle. While statements will be issued today from both sides, the tone is more gainful, the voting if it shows anything, showed that 1924 is anybody's bite and anybody's victory right now.
Bowles Writes New Songs
Will Be Sung for Frist Time at K. U.-M. U. Game
George A. Bowles has composed two K. U. songs to be sung for the first time at the Thanksgiving game. Bowles, who spends most of his spare time writing and composing songs, the most popular being "She's All Yours" by J. Jayhaw. "Has seen the need for some original songs for the University."
All of our songs with the exception of "I'm a Jayhawk," have come from other schools. "The Crimson and the Blue" is far from original, as many other schools use the air. "Up and Cheer" comes from College.
One of Bowles' songs is a snappy war song, written especially for our ancient foe, Missouri. The other is truly a K. U. hymn. These songs are to be introduced in convoction to the student body by the glee club, and by the band, as soon as the band variations can be written.
Morgan and White Pledge William Allen White, author and publisher of the *Emperor Gazelle*, and his brother of the Hutchinson News, have been pledged to the Kansas chapter of Sigma Delta Chi as associate president. He will sometimes in the spring, according to officers of Sigma Delta Chi.
Both Mr. White and Mr. Morgan are former students of the University.

The committee is intentionally other several good speakers to address the various groups. Prof. R. S. Knappen is chairman of the committee.
Women's Gymnasium Lacking in Sufficient Number of Lockers
Thefts of Money From Clothing Is Result of Inadequate Facilities
About 800 has been stolen from the women's gymnasium in the in two weeks. The lack of adequacy of equipment has so easy as almost to encourage it.
There is a deficiency in lockers in the women's gymnasium. So many girls are taking the course that it has been necessary for three and sometimes four or five girls to share the same locker. There is not room for street clothes to be put into the lockers, so stealing looms is possible. With so many girls using one locker, there is no way to be sure the locker will remain fastened, even though it has beer locked.
Sums ranged from thirty or forty cents to $5 and $8 have been taken from pocketbooks. The purse is usually returned.
Miss Barto and Miss Hoover will
bother hoping more room will be
widened soon, and this most dis-
reactive practice can be effo<sub>1</sub>

The purpose of the revision was to allow ample time for examinations and for an intermission from work on the 15.5. During this time the student records will be made. For the first time the results of the fall semester's work will be placed on the freshman transcripts, which will partially determine the amount of work that freshmen can carry the second semester. Unless their previous record is good, the amount of work they will be permitted to carry at graduation will depend on grades on the freshman transcripts will require a great deal of extra bookkeeping and consequently more time.
The customary vacations on Washington's birthday, Easter, and Memorial day will be given.
Considers Student Dishonesty The senate resumed consideration of the report the joint committee of student affairs which for several years was investigating the question of student dishonesty in examinations.
After voting on three sub-heads of item four, it was decided that uniform paper for examinations would not be furnished because various devices needed different kinds of paper; also that the teacher should decide for himself whether examinations should be made to cover all collateral reading and whether notebooks should be considered sufficient evidence of work. This question was raised on account of the inevitable tendency of note books to be delivered to organization to generation in organized houses and among friends.
It was also decided that the senate request all faculty members to make known early in the semester the amount of collateral reading and notebook work that is going to be required in the course.
