K.U. Debaters Will Meet Three Other Teams in Contest
Missouri Debate to Try Our New Decision System; Debating League Proposed
"The triangle debates between Oklahoma, Colorado, and Kansas Universities will be held late in February or in the early part of March," said Prof. B. A. Gilleverson, of the public speaking department, this week, as he debriefed the plans made by the debate committee at a meeting Friday.
"We will send one team to Boulder to meet the University of Colorado team, and one team will stay here to meet the University of Colorado team," he continued. "While the question for debate has not been fully decided it will probably be on the world college. This question is whether we will go to college or colleges and high schools this year."

No Special Women's Debate
In the dual debate with Missouri, which will be hold sometime in March, a different system of judging will be used than before. Instead of the usual committee of three or more judges, one expert judge will give the decision. This debate will be held in Kansas City.
Instead of the usual women's dual debate a single男's debate will be held with Manhattan early in March. "While there will be no special women's debate this year, I want to urge and invite all university women to participate in our college work part in any of the tryouts," said Prof. Gilkinson.
Debate League Proposed
Delegate League probes
"It has been proposed that a de-
bate league award eight schools of the Massei valley conference," added Prof. Giklinion.
"While it is impossible to have such a league in operation this year, it is probable that such a conference will be formed, and a uniform question for debate will be used in all competitive between schools in this conference."
"I would like to have all the freshmen of the University who are interested in debate work meet with me in the Little Theater in Green Hall, tuesday, Oct. 23, at 1 p. m. for a short conference."
Visitors Gaze at Planets
Moon Crater Gassendi Is Seen From Observatory
More than twenty students took advantage of guest night at the observatory Saturday. Conditions were ideal for planet gazing, according to C. T. Elvey, the "guide" for the evening.
The telescope was first trained in the direction of the moon and the observers were given a view of the crater Gassendi. The star Vega, just west of the meridian, was next on the program, followed by the "double double," a double system of double stars.
No visitors' night will be held this week owing to the all-University party Saturday evening. The next opportunity students will have to do any "star gazing" will probably be after the next full moon.

Teaching Reforms Are Subject of Discussion at K.S.T.A. Meetings
Professor Reed Wishes to Make Physiology Compulsory in High Schools
In a meeting of the Kansas State Teachers' Association convention, Prof. C. I. Reed, of the University of Kansas, expressed his desire that biology and physiology be made compulsory in the high schools of Kansas. He denounced strongly the system's stagnation in student positions as teachers of physiology in high schools, although they have no college credit in the subject.
W. F. Shaw, principal of the Jupiter high school in Kansas City, Kan., said students "do not learn physiology; they learn about it." It should be made a vital, living thing and not just something to study, he declared.
Miss Helen M. Walker of Oread Trining School, Lawrence, protested against the tendency of the teacher in the classroom to express ideas instead of getting them from the students. Prof. W. C. James, Kannas professional college, distributed to the teachers copies of a geometry achievement test which he suggested as an excellent final examination.
Prominent in another discussion on the same point in one of the teachers' meetings was Professor Attkinson, of the University of Kansas. There was too much work in there and not enough reasoning.

It is just by the rarest luck that eggs of fossil creatures are ever found. Dr. J. W. Gidley, vertebrate paleontologist of the U. S. National museum, said in explaining why no such eggs had ever been found among dinosaur remains in this country. Bones may be preserved by merely becoming buried, but they can often be easily foraged illized. It should be remembered that eggs are over 90 per cent water, and water does not netify.

New Y.W.C.A. Group Will Consider Social Standards at Henley
Washington, Oct. 22—Discovery of small fossil eggs of the huge dinosaurs which millions of years ago splashed through the tropical swamps where the bleak bad-lands of the Gobi Desert of Mongolia now lie is hailed by scientists here as important, but not surprising. While eagerly awaiting more complete details of the find made by the third Asiatic expedition of the American Museum of Natural History, they have discovered that shells have formed from eggs and that it has always been held that the prehistoric giant reptiles have no exception to this rule.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23,1923
Commenting on the connection shown by the dinosaurs unearthied in Asia with those of America and the indications of a land bridge between the two continents, at some remote location in North America there are little lizards living today in the United States which cannot be told from species found in China and that while there are animals here which are not found in Asia and animals in Asia not found in America, in India there are kinds of animals common to both continents and evidently of a common origin.
Dr. Leonard Steijner, biologist and reptile specialist, pointed out that all reptiles are hatched from eggs. Whether this hatching takes place outside the body or inside is merely a matter of time. In the case of the rattlesnake for instance, the young sometimes leave the egg while still within the mother's body, some of them hatch into eggs outside the body, and in still other cases both these methods of birth occur.

Jayhawker Staff Needs Sophomores for 1924 Annual
Candidates for Managers Next Spring to Be Chosen on Merit Basis
"There are several openings on the Jahewkaw staff for some good live sophomores," said Ryland Petty, a staff member of the hawker, this morning. "We have a large number of applications for staff positions, and some are very promising," he continued, "but there are also a scarcity of sophomore applicants."
Under the new Jayhawker rules, which go fully into effect this spring, the next editor and business manager will be chosen from the sophomore class of this year, and have to be certified by the advisory board before they may be named as candidates for those offices.
Women Eligible to Election
The new rules give the advisory power board to pounce on the work of the staff, and to anger the merit basis, open to all students of the University. "That is just why it is very important that we have a number of sophomores on the staff this year," said Petty. "Women as well as men are eligible to election. I would very strongly argue for an ordinance of editor of the Jayhawker, should one show promise of the ability."
The sales campaign, according to Petty, is progressing nicely, with subscriptions coming in every day. "Just now I would like to give one person a job that gives their stuff on the sales force," he said. "A sales manager will be appointed to a staff position, just as soon as the right man comes along; and there is also a place open for assistant sales manager. What we want, the man who shows a willmant to work on the problem now at hand."
Staff Appointments to Be Made
In regard to the editorial staff appointments, Editor Frank Rising said he would be ready to make a number of appointments very soon, but just now was watching the work of staff application. "The hard working salesman is going to be the hard working staff member, in my opinion," said Rising.
Art work on the Jayawaker is being completed now, according to the editor, and actual work on the various sections are now in progress. A call was issued the first of the week for glasses for the various class sections and for organization groups, it is very important that photographers with photographs be made." explained Rising, "as the Jayawaker will go to press early in the spring, and all photographs must be in early."
