A warning that failure to cooperate with the junior colleges might have serious effects on the universities, while not hurting the junior colleges, was given by the Chancellor.
Adept Report
Adoption of the report substantially as submitted followed. The committee was instructed that the standards are subject to change year after year, so the committee made certain things mentioned in the discussion should be considered. On motion of W. L. Burdick, vice-cancellor, a committee was appointed to draw up resolutions concerning the death of Prince C. M. Fassett.

A. Rice that other universities are allowing nearly twice as much time as is K. U. for examinations. Wise-ness or eight or nine days, while Kansas has but five, was given as an example.
Journalist Now Lives Secure in His Domain
The K. U. journalist, reusign supreme in his own domain. The last of the outlands have gone but the rest are no other class to clutter through the hall just as some harassed reporter has an inspiration. Nor does the embryo newspaper man have in his career out of his natural habitudes.

History in the department of journalism in regard to quarters has been varied. The department moved into the basement of the present building in 101. After sharing the rooms with other classes for two years, it was decided so that more space was necessary. As no appropriation was available, the addition was built from the pre-a fund. A few years later a second addition was built from the same fund. But even this increased room was insufficient and some of the seats were shifted to Fraser an Blake.
Now all is changed; the journalists own their own home. The hostess of the tea parties can look from the "sky parlor" and not feel that she has to entertain in an apartment.

Court Fight Looms on Legality of Vote in Oklahoma Election
initiated Measure Not Adver tised Five Days as Re qured by Statutes
(United Press)
Okahama City. Oct. 3. — A long-drawn-out court fight is in prospect today to test the legality of Tuesday's election in Okahama at which an initiated amendment to the constitution providing that the legislature must vote for a candidate without a call from the governor was adopted overwhelmingly.
Gov. J. C. Walton, who opposed the election with all the power at his command, consulted with his legal advisers today concerning the vote of the Republican election. The fight will be made by the governor on the grounds that the initiated measure was not advertised as least five days before the election. Other Republicans' statutes. All other proposed constitutional amendments were defeated.
The governor claimed that he had gained great moral support for his campaign against the Ku Klux Klan as a result of the balloting. He said that the Klan would be blamed by the veterans for the defeat of the soldier bonus; by workmen for failure to carry out the war; to carry or by depositors who have suffered houses in banks which defeated their measures.
The vote was extremely light, about half of the 450,000 cast at the last general election in Oklahoma.
"The Klan is to blame," Walton said.
Scattered polls throughout the state failed to open, while in two counties no votes were cast due to the failure of the polls to open.

Moore Party Safe at Peach Springs States Telegram
Trip Will Not Be Abandoned on Account of Floods; Worst Stretch Is Covered
Dr. R. C. Moore, head of the department of geology of the University, and geologist for a government party making a survey of the Colorado river, arrived safely yesterday after a plane from Arizona, according to a telegram received this morning by C. J. Posey, acting chairman of the department.

"Peach Springs, Ariz.—Arrived safely Diamond creek; several days delay. Advise friends.
(Signed) "R. C. Moore."
One Day Ahead of Schedule
The party is one day ahead of schedule and they will have to have at Diamond Creek trail until today. The ten members escaped the fury of the Colorado flood by climbing up through a canyon, from a steep ground, members of the party said. From a precinct they then saw a wall of water sweep through the canyon. The party was forewarned of the flood by rapidly raising waters in the flood hours before it came in 'all force'.
The telegram gives no indication of any abandonment of the trip, and it is Professor Posey's belief that the expedition will continue as planned, arriving at Needles, Calif., shortly after Oct. 15, the date originally scheduled for completion of the trip.

The most dangerous part of the strip is still to come. They have only passed through one granite gorge, and raids. According to Eldsworth Kolb, who, with two brothers traversed the Colorado canyon in 1912, found evidence of the destruction of California, one of the worst granite gorges and raids is below Diamond Creek. This one is known as Separation Rapsides.
This name was given to the rapids by Major Powell, who took a party down the canyon in 1871. When his party reached the rapids, three men fearing the results of going through in boats, made their way to the top. A short time after reaching the top they were massacred by Indians.
Emory Kolb in Charge
Emily Kobb
Kobb's mother of Ellsworth Kolb, whom went down the canyon in 1912, is in charge of the boats of the present party. The main object of the Kolb brothers in their trip of 1912 was to photograph different parts of the canyon, something which had never been done before.
Doctor Moore is the second geologist who has had the opportunity to make the trip down the canyon. The character of his work is such as to give much new detailed information.
New Course Offered by Geology Department
The department of geology is offering this semester, for the first time, a course in lithology. This course is required of students in the college who take their major work in geology and of those mining engineering students who choose the geology course.

The purpose of the course is to give geology students a more thorough knowledge of the great variety of rocks which make up the so-called Earth's crust, and of its faculties in the recognition of rocks in the hand specimen than can be obtained in the limited treatment of the subject permitted in the courses offered in geology.
