Faculty of College Revise Regulations for K. U. Students
Changes Made in Advanced Standing Rules; Penalties for Dishonesty and Dismissal
.
Codification of the rules of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences was the main business at the meeting of this faculty yesterday. A committee composed of Prof. P. B. Lawson, assistant dean of the College, chairman of the committee, Prof. G. U. Mitchell presented a codification and revision on which they had been working all summer.
Cai
fied in 1914, and this new codification. The rules of the faculty were codement contains changes that have been made since, most of which have involved a few changes which sound desirable. These not requiring faculty action, and the senate rulings applying to the College, were incorporated in a booklet, "Faculty Regulations," which was printed before registration, in order to help the selection of their corps for this year.
Promotion Rules Changed
Promotion requirements have been changed somewhat. However, this fall, the board, teachers, and juniors, before being classed as members of the next class, must have a minimum of 20, 50, and 80 credit hours. Students must number of grade points. All work must be finished before graduation.
Advanced credit regulations, advanced standing requirements, dismissal rules, credit during suspension, dishonest work, and the combination of the degree of A. B. with the degree in the School of Law were some of the changes, and can be found in this booklet.
"This booklet contains the irreducible minimum of what the student must know of the faculty regulations" J. G. Putnam, "as soon the faculty has acted upon them, we will have this new codification of the faculty." We are having the shorter booklet printed for the use of the students, that they may use it more conveniently.
Will Save Trouble
"Students could save themselves any amount of trouble if they would learn these regulations. We are always willing to help them out of any trouble they may be in in regard to their credits, but it is part of their education to avoid drifting into trouble. The student is the most inter-
Plantation of Apples Is Largest in Kansas
Student Owns Orchard
Charles Dixon, c24, is part owner of the largest and probably the finest apple orchard in the entire state. This orchard, consisting of eight hundred and eighty acres of trees, is located two miles north of Piper, Kansas. The orchard was owned for many years by E. N. Morill, former governor of Kansas. Mr. Dixon, a grandson of the ex-emperor with an orchard in Harrison with an uncle to Morill, Hiahowa, Kan-
ker, and with an aunt, Mrs. C. B. Baker, 3638 Central Ave., Kansas City, Mo.
The huge orchid contains seven thousand Jonathan trees and a like number of Ben Davis trees. In addition to these, there are eight hundred Winesace. In a smaller field there are two hundred trees of Grimes Golden.
The size of the orchard caused the manager, W. B. Vining, to employ an army of thirty pickers. Seven hundred barrels a day are put out by the packing department located on the farm. A total of 11,000 barrels were hauled to market during the picking season this fall.
Rain Interferes with Building
wearers with the work on the wall. The Delt house is partially low, due to the rain of the past week, but the house will probably be finished by December 1. The rain is preventing the plasterer from finishing their work, so complete the carpenters cannot prepare with the finishing touches.

Hire Guns and Hunt Chickens. Chancellor Counsels Faculty Before Opening of University
With the tremors of an iron-bound, Scarlet-tailed enrolment still vivid in our minds, it is refreshing to learn with what little formality the first students were enrolled in our University. D. H. Robinson, in his "Reminiscences" of the opening in fall of 1866, when the university was admitted to F. H. Snow, President Elliol J. Rice, Chancellor Oliver, and himself,
Since Robinson and Snow were rather young and inexperienced, they decided to consult their chancellor regarding the preparation they were going to do. Robinson writes this account of their interview in the chancellor's library:
"The air was thick with tobacco smoke. Regent Starcritt was present, smoking a pipe with a stem about six feet long. Six or eight similar pipes and a large pouch of tobacco they would have to join in the smoking further than was absolutely necessary, we tried to state our business."
After suffering a good deal of story telling and smoke, the young men got their mission across, and the worthy
Uniform Letter to Be Awarded to Deserving Athletes in All Sports
"K" Now Used by Footba Team Chosen as Typical of University
Sweaters awarded to athletes of the University will hereafter all have a uniform "K." The "K" men, have decided that they prefer to all have one type of letter, which will be symbolic for the University. Gothic "K," now awarded to football men, will represent the University.
Large schools all over the United States have standardized their letters. In this way it is possible to recognize the school from which a man comes as soon as the type of letter is observed how common that letter may be.
When only a few sports were represented at the University, to have a different type of letter for each sport was not difficult, but as they increased in number, the increase would present tennants "K" composed of a flock of tennis racquets, is considered by many to be a flippant treatment of the letter, according to Dr. F. C. Allen, athletic director. "Wrestling and other minor sports would be even more difficult to describe," Mr. Allen said. The athletic board and the "K" men have all signified their desire to have a uniform letter."
A sweater will be awarded in each sport, as is done at present. The awarding of the "K" is not based upon minutes of play but on a single recommendation of the coach, for some man who played for a very few minutes might be influential in winning an important game, and a man who plays well in a game might grow tary at last. This system is considered the fairest of any.
Reservations on Special to Nebraska Going Fast
Reservations for the special train which will leave Lawrence on the Union Pacific at 10:30 Friday night, carrying Kansas students and supporters to the Kansas-Nebraska game, are coming in fast. One compartment car has already been filled by those desiring to go in groups.
Nebraska expects a record breaking crowd at this game, as it is to be the dedication of their new stadium. They have seats to accommodate 40,000 spectators. Several persons who saw the Nebraska-Oklaham game last Saturday, say that Kansas has the best chance to win from Nebraska that it has had in several years.
Oread Magazine Out Nov. 28
The first issue of the Oread magazine will be ready for distribution on Homecoming day, Nov. 29. Going to be the third issue they have ever had," said Helen Jaka, business manager, who holds typographical document it will contain the best talent on the hill." Any type of literary production that students have written and wish to submit, will be appreciated and thoughtfully considered.
Oread Magazine Out Nov. 28
Chancellor responded with these words:
I would advise you young gentlemen to go to Mr. Jaackieck's gun shop and hire some guns, and to Mr. O'Connor's livery stable and hire some saddle horses, and go away the hills for three days and days and days and chickens. This will be as good preparation for your work next week as you can make."
Unwilling to have themselves taken so lightly, these two earnest faculty members sought out their acting president for advice, but for advice from the university which be expected to be asked to read at the formal opening of the University.
Registration and enrollment day found the faculty on hand early, says Mr. Robinson's account. No one else showed up for some classes; a few others came strangely in a few at a time. The grand total was forty students, most of whom were poorly prepared for college work, so Mr. Robinson decided that the Chancellor's advice about preparation was sage indeed.
Geltch Uses Comma to Punctuate Music
Imagine a poem or an essay, finel worded, delicately phrased, running along without any sort of punctuation except an occasional period Monetary, lack of emphasis, and doubtful meanings would be the result, and the reader would be blinded to meaning, hidden shades of meaning, would miss the finer points of the work, and finish with a general view.
As it would be with literature, so it is with the finer music, according to Prof. Waldemar Geltch, teacher of violin at the University. Music, he says, should be punctuated the same as written words, so he fully goes on to describe the principles of time and inserts little breaks to the time. Of course, the rest is a means of punctuation, but its presence is too evident, like a period at the end of a sentence. So Professor Geltch uses the comma to separate lines of text in his emphasis, or to bring out some inconspicuous but delightful part.
Commas have been the only insertions made by Professor Gelch, but in time perhaps he will use semicolons, dashes, and exclamation points to give clearness of expression to his music. Now just, though, he says the system as it stands looks to his students like one big question mark.
Flood Waters Sveep On
Persons Driven From Lowland Homes Can Return
(United Press)
Oklahoma City, Oct. 17 — Flood waters from the North Carolina river which took a toll of two lives and caused $800,000 damage in Oklahoma City, swept down stream to day, threatening other cities.
"Everybody out at the station rally on Thursday night to help the band give the team a real Jayawk send-off," he said. "This morning, every Loyal Jayawkmaster be at the Union Pacific depot before 7 o'clock as the train which is to carry away the team will arrive." The team to Nebraska will leave before 8.
The overflow here receded so that many of the 15,500 persons driven from the lowland homes when the city reservoir broke released to "too much."
Loyal Rooters Will Give Team Send-Off Thursday
About 2,000 were still being cared for in schools, churches, and other public buildings. Unable to obtain meat from packings town, cut off by fire, the school was forced to rush supplies here from Kansas City, St. Joseph, and Omaha.
"Ham" expects to lead about seven hundred of "ye thunderning thousands" at Lincoln on Saturday, when the team's teammates team fight for their schools. With this chosen mob of prized "yeller" Hamilton expects to give a Rock Blink that is down the new stadium since it is to be dedicated on Saturday.

Election
(United Press)
"We are taking no risk upon technicalities which may arise in this session. Although we have been officially in session since Sept. 26, when the national guardmen dispersed our attempts to capture our own special call!" W. D. Meeb, speaker of the House, declared.
W. J. Ojten, a Republican, and Thomas H. Wren, a Democrat, were drawing up a bill of participants which will be presented to the senate, asking that the governor be removed from office. Proceedings will probably be taken up by the House before the end of the week.
The state legislature convened at noon today "in the name of the people." In session today since Oct. 11, the House assembled upon its own call, issued after the special election when the people overwhelmingly affirmed its right to convene itself and the sanction of the state executive.
Witnesses were called in rapidly before the house investigating committee throughout the morning session.

Call Witnesses
Mrs. Nina Young, pardon and parole officer, will be called during the day.
Delegates to Conference to B Guests at Drake Game
H. S. Editors Will Meet
For five years the department of journalism at the University has been conducting these conferences, in order to aid high school students to publish "real papers," to make them sound financially and to become a factor in promoting school enterprises. Round table conferences for teachers of journalistic writing have also been arranged.
The Kansas high school newspaper annual conference will meet at K. U. Nov. 16 and 17. Invitations to the representatives of each high school paper in the state, were sent out by Prof. L. N. Flint Wednesday. The delegates to the conference content their proposals to university students and will be guests of Dr. F. C. Allen at the Drake football game on Saturday afternoon of that week.
At the conference last year 207 delegates from sixty-three schools attended. A larger number is expected this year, according to Professor Flint, chairman of the Department of journalism at the University.

Phog' Allen of Nebuchadnezzar Fame in Cornhuskers Riot of 20, Looking for Lost Dream
Alibis are, as a rule, framed during the aftermath of a heinous death. So we take this under your hat—we have one in advance. It is to Mrs. "Couch" Allen that the everlasting thanks of the student body for an almost plausible excuse should be expressed. For it is that good woman who has forgotten the recipe for "the stuff wet dreams are made of." In the meal she dished up for her teacher, I am reminded of the following which our esteemed "Pho" placed inside in the same category with Jacob, of the " ladder" name, Nebachneuzzer, and the rest of the dream-inlined B. C. boy.
Times were when the lads from Mt. Oread had the corn-husking habit. Year after year, as a matter of course, the K. U. team took the boys from the north country to a trimming. But, as the popular saying runs, "them days is gone forever."
Longer and longer became the string of defeats at the hands of the Huskers. At last, and wholly unlooked for, came to "Phog" the "dream remedy" on the night preceding the Nebraska game three years ago. In his slumbers he saw Harley Little galloping across the line for a touchdown. Day on the "field de combat" his dream came true, and had it not been for an unfortunate slip of the quacker's back.
Campus Canaries Clump Through Mud
They've all caught it—that latest epidemic brought on by the damp weather. It runs riot among the men, but women students so far seem to be practically immune from this stranger anomaly.
You've seen victims of the disease striding about the campus these rainy days. They seem weighted down by a voluminous sort of outer garment, and this protecting coat flaps and swishes about manly ankles. The color of this wet weather garment is its most outstanding feature; it covers the camera from the campus much the look of a woodland scene where bright canaries flick merrily—only those birds cluck rather than flit.
They say that a certain down-town store is offering such apparel at a tempting price. Who knows but it's a bit of a challenge to accumulate Shades of the old time "slacker."
Architects Give Banquet
K. U. Students Urged to Attend Topeka Meeting
Tickets for the banquet in connection with the meeting of the Kansas Society of Architects and the Master Builders Association of Kansas must be received. This meeting is to be held at Topics on the 22nd and 23rd of October.
Students from the department of architecture are being urged to attend this meeting at Topaek by the faculty of the department, in order that K. U. may have as many in attendance this year as K. S. A. C. had at the meeting held at Salina last year.
Joint and separate sessions of the two organizations will be held on the two days of the meeting. The banquet is to be held jointly.
the price of student tickets to the banquet here is $1.50, although it is understood that others will be required to pay more, in order to cover the expenses of the good time planned for the occasion.
Y. W. Finance Campaign Solicitors Make Report
Reports given out by the workers on the Y. W. C. A. Finance Campaign at the rally in Myers Hall year-tailed total $74 which amounts to about one-third of the total subscriptions to be raised by the students and faculty. The goal has been set at $2300 for this year's budget.
The workers will report today and tomorrow at Henley House between the hours of 9:30 and 1:00. The final report of addition will be made from 4:30 to 8:00, providing the goal has been reached. The results of the campaign will be indicated on the Rainbow Register, south of Dycha Musa station, where may see how far the drive has progressed.
too, victory would have rested in Jaya-hawkeville. As it was the a score resulted, and the Kansas monitor lost the game never. In the significance of dreams.
No good thing can be over-worked, not even a dream, and so believing, "Phoq" for the past two seasons trusted to luck and teamwork, with disastrous results. Surely this is the longest year for a reposition of the dream business. Michaels should now work in three years. But here is where the "reg" comes in. How in the Dickens can "Phoq" insure himself that he will enjoy a football day on Friday night?
It is a well-founded fact that the baskernig manufacturing factory for dreams lies in the diet, especially that food consumed the meal immediately preceding slumber. The supper menu at the Allen domicile three years ago is lost, never to be recovered, there is nothing left to do but toss the dice with "lady hack" and feed up the Kansas coach on some of the best known dream-producing filler. Perhaps a schooner of hard elder and several wedges of mince pie would turn the trick.
At any rate it stands us in hand to be thankful for an dibi—the lost recipe for "the stuff wot dream is made of"—if we have to use it.
"Hello Day" Abolished at W.S.G.A. Meeting; Election Date Is Set
"Hello Day" was abolished by the vote of the W. G. S. A. at their regular meeting last night. It was decided that it does not foster any real democratic spirit, but is only made light of.
Oenn of Women Recommend That Councils Discuss Honesty at Polls
The question of whether or not the date rule applies to students of the Graduate School was discussed, and it was decided it does not. However the ultimate decision rests with the faculty. The case against it has been pointed out by authorities that this interpretation may be reversed.
The election for two freshman representatives to the W. S. G. A. will be held Thursday, Nov. 1. Any freshman may run if she gives a petition, by fifty girls, half 1 which are from the freshman class, to the secretary by Thursday, Oct. 25. One representative from the graduate school will also be elected at the same time.
Miss Husband, dean of women,
recommends to both the men's and
women's councils that they bring in
themen to the polls. The W. S. G. A.
is in favor of putting a council man
and woman at each of the polls during
the elections, and request the
council to consider the proposition.
Chapter presidents of organizations will be given ten points under the point system as do the house presidents.
The All-University party for Oct.
26 was further discussed at the
meeting. "Chuck" Shofstall's or-
chestra will furnish the music.
Judge Burch Will Speak at Annual Law Smoker
Judge R. H. Burch, of the Kansas Supreme Court, will speak at the annual smoker of the School of Law in the Chamber of Commerce room at 7:30 Thursday. The program is in connection with the School of Law student council.

University Host to 500 Fathers on "Dad's Day"
Prize Will Be Given to Dad Who Comes the Greatest Distance to Celebrate Day With Son
That the Dads are coming 500 strong to celebrate with their sons the one day in the year that exclusively belongs to them was the cheerful announcement of Dean Dyer when interviewed this morning.
Saturday, Oct. 27, has been set aside on the college calendar for the big day, Dad's Day. Early Saturday morning the keys to the campus will be passed over to the visiting dads, and until midnight the campus and all that goes with it belongs to them.
Invitations have been sent to all Kansas alumni who are Dads, throughout Kansas and Mississippi, all students who will write their Dads all come to the big event—and what red-blooded college boy doesn't?—can get invitations and reserved tickets for dinner at Dean Dyer's office, anytime, but it's not a good plan to
Dad Will See Aggie Game
Dah Ww See Agge'gdikh
Dad to the Aegie game which is also on tap for that day. When every thing is over down at the Stadium, the gang of Dads and their son will take a hot meal with a spiring hot meal will await them.
And it's going to be a regular meal. None of this canary food "fillet" of this, and of the *if* that--but a "sure niff he-man's supper*, the kind that a Dad and his boy ought to enjoy. Mrs. McLoughley of the Commons is managing the dinner and everybody knows how to serve it. With Chuck Stoftall, who has offered his services for the evening, and his eight harmony hounds at work, the food should fairly waltz down.
To Have Peppy Program
Both football teams will be on hand for the five-course dinner. Goodness knows the Agie team will feel like drowning its sorrow in food. There's a dandy program on tap for the evening following the supper, which is guaranteed to be over in the morning and stray "dates." It runs as follows:
Invocation, Rev. W. H. Shriv. of Olathe; vocal solo, Deana Agnes husband; Welcome to the Dads, Chancellor for Argos, Coach Bachman; for K.U. Coach Clark; for the Dads, some entertaining speaker among the out-of-town Dads; music, University male perhaps William Allen White
Finally will come the awarding of prizes, a new stunt this year. Oen prizes, a new stunt this year. One been divulged, will be given the Dad who comes the farthest to the Dad's Day celebration, and the other to the dad who has the most children onrolled in the K. U. at the present time.
Community Chorus Meets
Swarthout Hopes to Hold Music Festival in May
The community chorus was organized Tuesday night under the direction of Dean Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts at the Liberty Memorial High School auditorium. Two hundred sixty-two were present, representing the University, the high school and the city.
The chorus will present "The Me-
maiah" sometime in May, when Dean
Swarthot hopes that a real musica-
tival festival may be held, for people from
all over the state, as well as the Uni-
versity.
C. L. Scott, secretary of the Law-
rence Chamber of Commerce, was temporary chairman and introduced Mayor Kreeft, Professor Downing, and J. L. Holmes, who made short take turns expressing by wording those present and of the willingness of Dean Swarthout to undertake the work.
The chorus is open to everyone. No charge is being made for the use of the auditorium, and the only expense in the score, which sells for $750, is for the hard hand was not sufficient, and 100 more copies has been ordered.
