University Senate Plans to Discuss Saturday Classes
Schedule Used in Columbia Gives School Teachers Chance to Attend University
Dean R. A. Schwegler, of the department of education, in speaking of the Saturday school schedule for the semester, he said we are meeting in Blake Hall, Tuesday afternoon, said the plan worked very smoothly in the systems of the larger institution of Europe as well as in Birmingham University and Northwestern.
Practically all over Europe a schedule including rhinoplasty classes on Saturday has become a regular program for the Universities. With this arrangement the students and faculty are given half holidays twice during the week, on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons
Gives Service—Schwegler
The schedule as it has been organized in Columbia University has given an opportunity to school teachers and others who are able to get University training on Saturday. Students who teach at schools teachers come in to classes Saturday morning from a radius of 100 miles. Courses giving as many as four hours credit have been offered on Saturday, and two and three hour sessions are common. "The system as it has been thus worked out gives a positive impression," she couldn't take advantage of university work," sala Doctor Schwglegler.
"Not only do teachers and non-resident students but over half of the resident students take advantage of such a schedule," Dean Schwengel wrote in an interview view of University efficiency much is to be said for Saturday school. It would add approximately twenty per cent to available material faculty hours. "We've vacant all day Saturday would become available on this day."
The question which has always been considered in so great a charge is the student who is working at our lab for his or her through school. All of them are many men of the faculty feel that adjustment could be made which would justify any change in the University program. The individual who works could then make a selection of courses to schedule to suit the new arrangement.
Better Distribution of Work
better instruction.
does not properly understand
doing a task, increase in amount
of work but a better distribution of
the work done row. Dean Schweiger
remarked that it does have an added
advantage in permitting the handling
of the plant as it now exists. It would
perhaps involve a reduction in
the number of afternoon classes and
it follows as a matter of course that
the efficiency and economy of the
University would be increased.
It has been suggested on the other hand, that if the plan for Saturday school doesn't seem feasible, it could be a good suggestion to have of class at the noon hour or from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. This arrangement would allow you to strain on the restricted amount of facilities such as laboratory materials would be somewhat lessened.
Seats May be Reserved Tuesday for First Game
Reservations for the Creighton football game next Saturday can be made any time after 8:30 Tuesday morning at the athletic office in Robinson gymnasium. About 125 student desks are available to Dyer's office. These are selling to the students for $10, but it is expected that they will all be sold by Friday if the present rate of sale keeps up. The Round Corner Drug Store has about seventy-five at $12 each. These are for sale to the pubs.
Sixty-five hundred tickets for each game have been mailed to Stadium caddys and Dr. F. C. Allen requests that the receipts which were mailed with them be returned as soon as possible so that he may check up on them. The team's best stadium for the K. S. A.

Oct. 6 Deadline for Caps
Freshmen Must Wear Headgear at Creighton Game
Freshmen must secure their blue skull caps before Saturday, Oct. 6, and wear them at the first football game of the season with Creighton University on that date, according to the ruling to be found in the concordance of Men of the University of Kansas, printed in the student handbook.
The ruling is as follows: "All men who enroll in the University of Kansas with less than twenty-four hours of credit must wear fresh capes unless they have been on the Hill a year. Freshmen must start wearing caps with the first football game the year before, and those until the day after Thanksgiving if successful in the Olympics, or until the close of school if they are unsuccessful. All caps must be worn on the camps from 6:00 to 6:00 on every day except Sunday. The caps should have a colored button on the top to designate the college, College history, Law, purple; Engineering, yellow; Medic, green; and Pharmic, red.

Freshmen are not allowed them only. Freshmen should abide by this custom to avoid difficulty, according to those in authority.

English Essential to Any Vocation, Says R.D.O'Leary
Connection Between Write and Publication Makes Steady Income Possible
English is a direct preparation for no other vocation but teaching, according to the vocational pamphlet called "English and the Vocations," which was prepared by Prof. R. D. O'Leary, chairman of the department of English. However, in any calling English is a proper part of the educational equipment necessary for continued success.
"Without even regarding the commercial reasons, for taking courses in English literature, useage, and grammar, together with rhetoric and optional courses in more specialized subjects, he is able to convene with person of his own kind without feeling em barrassment," the pamphlet reads.
Mutty Stories Accepted
"It has been the consistent advice of members of the English faculty of this institution in regard to the use of courses in English in preparation for exams, that the student should make writing a vacation only under the condition that he secure a journalistic connection which will yield a steady even though small income.
"The reason for such counsel is readily seen after a survey is made of the number of periodicals accepting short stories and the number of stories submitted every year. Harper's Magazine alone received twenty thousand short stories for publication, and that was able to use considerably less than one hundred of these manuscripts.
Preparation in Book Reviewing,
"Another form of writing for which
students may get preparation in
K. U. is book reviewing, although
it requires a great deal of work to make it highly remunerative. A great bulk of book reviewing is done by persons holding academic positions or by individuals who have been trained for academic specialties and therefore in some degree specialists.
As to the number and character of the courses a student should take to make a success of writing as a vocation, there is no hard and fast rule. Many have taken courses in composition who have succeeded in literature while on the other hand many who have had composition work have not succeeded. It is equally true that persons often learn less than persons having not had any course if composition have made a success if writing as a vocation.
If a person wishes to do critical writing, of course English is not the language which he must learn, but which is necessary to him. A general knowledge of all things in which the world is interested is the skill he must cover in some degree.

Rubbernecks Aid Car Back onto Fairway?
That the University is not without its members of the great family is evidenced by the size of the crowd that gathered when a Lawrence streetcar became uneasy, hopped the track, and started southwest in the direction of Boston.
The car was halted in its erring progress, but the question of how to get the "red peril" back on the track for the young men advocated lifting it back on the track, but were unable to carry out their well meant plans through lack of support. The team also had to work with mot, physical support.

Election Officials, Defying Governor, to Continue Plans
22,000 Secret Service Mer Mobilized by Walton in Attempt to Halt Election
Okhahoma City, Oct. 1, —Defying Gov. "Jack" Walton's special force of 22,000 secret service agents, election officials today set in motion the machinery by which they plan to hold a special election Tuesday for a referendum on the right of the legislature to convene itself. They are led by an opinion from Attorney-General Gregory Browne would be valid, despite the governor's proclamation to officials and his orders for mobilization of the entire civilian police power of the state to prevent it, W. C. McAllister, chairman of the state election board, ordered the voting to proceed. Ballots were printed on county printing presses, and local officials, including county clerks, have been instructed to go ahead with the election, McAllister said.
"There Will Be No Election"
Governor Walton at the same time ordered every county sheriff in the state to padlock the polls and advised election officials against attempting to hold the referendum. The governor's 22,000 special police officers were mobilized for action.
"There will be no election," the governor declared in face of the attorney-general's opinion, and the defiance of election officials. "I am convinced this election is illegal," he declaimed. "It was called by me last week." In the question, the drier bonuses and other matters, and by proclamation my call to the election was recinded. The election will not be held."
Situation an Alarming One
The entire state was aroused by the governor's mandate and the challenge through with the voting in the face of the opposition of armed forces. It was an alarming situation and the word "bloodshed" was spoken on both sides as the time for balloting drew nearer and there was no evidence of backing down in either direction, so forces at the polls stirred men on both sides to a fighting pitch.
Walton Fears Bloodshed
"Much as I dread it, there may be bloodshed in Oklahoma to preserve our environment." Governor Walton declared.
Newspapers of Oklahoma City came out with front-page editorials urging the voters to go to the polls because they dictate of their consciences.
