Women's Dormitory to Be Thrown Open to Public Thursday
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
All Students and Townpeople Invited to Housewarming at Corbin Hall
No invitations are being issued to the house-warming at Corbin hall, to be held Thursday afternoon and evening, but all students of Lawrence and students of the University are invited to come. The division, of townpeople in the afternoon, and students in the morning, are helped because so many guests are expected, and this seemed the most convenient.
The receiving line in the afternoon will be, Mrs. Frear, social director; Luca Crawford, house president; Miss Alberta Corbin, Mrs. MURphy, house director; Ms. Roger Williams, wife of Mr. William Todd; and Ms. G. L. Kreeck, wife of the mayor of Lawrence; and Mrs. Brent, assistant dean of women.
In the evening the receiving line will be Mrs. Frear, Lacy Crawford, Miss Corbin and Miss Dehn, dean of women. Governor and Mrs. Davis and the members of the board of administration and their wives have been invited to attend and be members of the receiving line.
The girls of the hall will act as hostesses and will show the visitors over the house. The material for the fall decorations will be gathered by the girls, who will also design executive rooms. After After the fall reception at Corbin ball will probably be an invitation affair.
To Repeat "Radio Night'
WDAF to Broadcast Rock Crall to "Four Winds"
The annual K. U. "Radio Nigtt" for this year will be Monday, December 10, according to a statement made this morning from the office of Alfred G. Hill, secretary of the Alumni association of the University. The K. U. radio nigtt last year proved one of the most prominent of the entire school ear, especially among graduates and former students who are scattered to the "four winds of the earth." Last year it was listened to with interest by K. U. enthusiasts in seventy Kansas states. The two foreign countries There will no doubt be many more "listeners-in" this year.
The program, which will be given in Robinson gymnasium, phone to Kansas City, and broadcasted over the Kansas City Star's broadcasting station, WDAF, will be in charge of Leo J. Fitzpatrick, radio manager for the Kansas City Star, who is a former student of the University.
Besides the traditional yells and songs of the University by the entire student body, the program will embrace talks by those instructors on the bill who have been here longer and are most widely known among the alumni. The women"s department will also offer K. U. law and possibly other university organizations will also have a place in the program.
Gold Fish Discovered Frollicking on Campus
Gold fish, great big healthy gold fish, live and thrive on our campus. Sure that would balance a pound in weight swim and play right in the shadow of one of the well-travelled paths that thread the University grounds. And how did they get there?
We know the inadequate city fire protection equipment was not sufficient to furnish the University with water pressure enough to fight fires. So the state appropriated $0000 for the excavation of a reservoir, and for fire pumps, but made no mention of cold fish.
After this reservoir had been completed in the spring of 1911, it was called Potter's lake, after Senator Potter from Marion county, who was formerly regent of the University. Now, down in the valley of our campus, the lake has become a beauty spot and is not thought of as a reservoir, or old gold fish, of unknown origin, drift themselves into our 4,000,000 gall playground, which covers an area of two acres.
On clear days they can be seen from the cinder path along the lake, their gold bodies flashing, or idling near the shore. Now and then a silver fish may be seen, but it keeps the secret of its origin by tilting its fins and diving to the bottom, sixteen feet below.
Migration of Mallard Ducks From Canada to Gulf States Proved by Banding 4.000 Birds
Marie Deible, A. B., 184, has been elected to a position in Pittsburgh high school to teach mathematics.
(By Science Service)
Cambridge, Mass., Oct. 17—Interest facts in regard to the migration of mallard ducks were told this morning by Frederick C. Lincoln of the U. S. Biological Survey in an address before the American Ornithologist's Union in convention here. By means of pictures and maps, MFr. Nathalie Gauvin said that the results obtained in banding 4,000 mallard ducks for identification.
The center of the great breeding range of the mallard duck is in lower Saskatchewan, Canada, while the center of its winter range is along the lower Mississippi from the Upper Mississippi River. Among the birds marked by Mr. Lincoln in Illinois were some which later turned up in Texas a few miles west of Houston. The route apparently taken by these birds converged at that point with the routes taken by ducks from other states. As the western birds are from flocks which have a different range and breeding ground, it remains to be discovered by later returns whether the Mississippi mallards, whose winter range mingles with that of the western birds, join the western flocks and fly north with them in the spring. The mallards are also wintering and they return to Canada by the Mississippi valley route.

Mardkurt Kurtz, violinist; and Dean
Brantley Hutchison, conductor,

program will be announced further.
Further announcements will
be made in regard to it.
Hale Hamilton, fc'02, passed through Kansas recently on his way to California, where he and his wife, Kate, will play on the Orcheum circuit in Los Angeles this winter. Mr. Hamilton studied law in the University and was admitted to the bar in Topeka and was professional to the profession to re on the stage.
One duck caught at the mouth of the Mississippi some years ago was shipped to New York, banded there and released, and was killed in the water later. Apparently in this case, said Mr. Lincoln, the homing instinct had directed the bird back to his home breeding ground and from there he had twice been back and forth on the old Mississippi route before he
Some of the ducks banded in Illinois have been found in the South Atlantic states and whether they flew across the mountains or took a more circuitous route to be able to return to their additional returns from the banding experiments.
K. U. Gives Dispensary Service to 845 Students
Many Treated at Hospital
Records of the University hospital and dispensary, 1406 Tennessee street, show that 845 dispensary patients have been treated in the last four weeks, according to Dr. Ethel L. Peacock, superintendent of nursing. Twenty-five patient have already been accommodated in the hospital wards this year, but only three occupants at the hospital are present, as many as six or seven persons have needed nursing at one time.
Contagious diseases such as mumps and scarlet fever are more prevalent this year than last, according to hospital records, but the number of dispensary patients is practically the same as at this time last year because of the increasing 9,743 dispensary patients were treated, and 455 cases were under the care of the hospital staff.
The hospital was closed during the summer for a thorough renovation of the second and third floors. The waltas were repaired, the floor painted, and new furniture and linen for one of the wards was donated by the company. Only a small amount of equipment was added this year, because of the expense of an X-ray machine which was bought last year.
Correction
Professor Goldwin Goldsmith, of the department of architecture, calls attention to an error in Tuesday's Kansas. It was stated that the Kansas architects thought the competition rules of its American Institute of Architects too stringent. They believe that they are too strict only in the matter of securing work.
The attitude of the chapter is that public appreciation of the professional position of architects is so low that it is impossible for the few members of the chapter to secure work. The chapter does not constitute code of the Institute:
Three Kappa Sig Men Hurt in Ford Smash-Up
A Ford coupe driven by Howard Smith, c26, smashed into a Ford speedster in the 1300 block on Tennessee street last night at about 9 o'clock. John McEwen, c25, and Miller Woodford, c25, riding on the running board, were thrown to the pavement. Woodford, who was the University hospital, had several broken ribs and other minor injuries. McEwen sustained many bruises. Smith escaped without injury.
The coupe was going south on Tennessee and a street car was going north. The coupe was unable to turn out of the way of the speedster, which was parked without lights, because of the oncoming street car. The fenders of the coupe were worn too much and the tires aged considerably. The three men are members of Kappa Sigma fraternity.
