European Peoples Judge Art Vital to Life-Ketcham
Marriage Chances Depend on Girl's Knowledge of Decoration of Home
Home
Number 12
"To American arts is a luxury; to Europeans it is a necessity—a vital part of the lives of the people," said Ressary Kuteh, professor of design, who spent the summer traveling in Czecho-Slovakia.
"Americans don't argue about mathematics or science or the weather. We take them as a matter of course, even as most Europeans do of art. The difference in the two attitudes is something like the old and the new attitude toward women. We used to hear a good one, but now we hear a lot of magazines, women's this, and women's that; but now women have taken their place in the world's work, and the world has come to consider as individuals, not a class distinct and apart from the rest of humanity." Miss Ketcham continue.
Each Town Has Costume
Interior decoration and costume design are the main forms of art work among the peasants, according to Miss Ketcham "Every town has its artmen, its costumes. The aprons, blouses, blouses, and head-dresses are all beautifully embroidered in brilliant colors. Motifs for the costumes are taken from the woods around the villages.
"While interior decoration has become quite popular in America of late, in Casceno-Slovakia, home decoration is as essential part of a housewife's training as cooking and sewing. Modern girls in America study the subject occasionally, notice it sometimes, and are usually able to talk gibby of decorative effects. But imagine the feedback the avail-ble of these tools if she were told that her reputation in the community and her chances for 'accessible marriage' were based upon her ability to decorate a room in her home.
"Throughout Czecho-Slovakia, when a peasant girl teaches maturity, she is expected to decorate one room of the house entirely by herself. She gathers flowers, studies them, and makes designs from them in almost the same way that the design class here at the academy draws and paints them in brilliant colors on the walls of the room. The result gauges her success as a house-maker, and determines to a great degree her matrimonial possibilities in the village. This little instance illustrates the difference between art in America and Europe." Miss Ketcham con-

Date to Debate, Oyster Stew and "Jingle Bell" Serenade Meant Big Evening for 1880 Flapper
The bastic and hurry of 1923 University life tends to make the modern K. U. student forgetful of the early days of the University, when the "Hill" was on the suburbs of Lawrence, when Fraser was the only building, when the Betas, Phi Psis, I. C./s., who later became Pt Pih Sis—and the Thetaes were the only students there; it was the ambition of students to belong to one of the two literary societies, Orophian or Oread.
These societies, each had their room in Frasier hall. The Orophelians were in the north wing on third floor and the Greeds had exactly the same position in the south wing. These rooms were furnished with chairs and rugs, and W. H. Johnson, professor in the School of Education, says that one memorable day the alumni presented the ophelians with a chair, a chair, a chair, and a contest each year in declaration, debate, and exposition, in which there was great rivalry.
In the early 80's "Billy" Morgan and Glen Miller founded the Gradatum Dancing Club which lasted several years.
Another well-known organization in those days was the Amphibian quartet. George Metcalf, who is now with Jenkins Music Company in Kansas City, was, according to Professor Johnson, the only real musician. The other members were W S. Jenks, a lawyer, who now lives in
"Dates" Delay, Puzzled by Etiquette of Dorn
10 ring or not to ring, that is the question which has been perplexing the "dates" who call at Corbin hall. Someway it seems crude just to walk, in but it doesn't seem just right to ring. A house or a hotel—the dormitory is neither, but which is it more like?
But the others, the timid ones who ring the bell, theirs is the pitiful alight. For the normal enough looking doorbell is in reality the night bell to be used by the unfortunate girls who might happen to be locked out, and it rings only in the social director's rooms.
And so they stand, desperately looking first at the doorbell and then at the doorknob, while within the waiting girls chew their fingerprints, and the waiter calls out, cording always with the wail. Oh, why doesn't he come?"
The way the distraught men solve the problem depends on the degree of boldness or timidity they possess. The bold ones walk in, spy an official-looking desk and office girl murmur the names of their "dawd," and then them with an airy, anonymous pride and a sensation of great relief.
The tisid "dates" may ring until closing hours and they will receive no answer, while the girls above wait and mean, "Oh, why does henten
Aviator Drops Package
A Sacramento-St. Louis Army Plane Circles Campus
On its Sacramento, Cal., to St. Louis trip to take part in an air arm meet to be held in St. Louis Monday, U. S. Airplane airline No. 2 circled the University of Chicago dropped a pack addressed to Wilfred Lutz, c120
A small boy saw the package droped, and after climbing the tree to secure it, delivered it to Lutz at 1644 Tennessee street.
Ottawa; Douglas Hamilton, who died soon after graduation; and Professor Johnson. This quartet was the only one ever in Lawrence that accepted the challenge of the famous Modoc concert in Tepeka. The Amphons seroned the world with their songs, such as "Jingle Bells," "Sweet Be Thy Dreams," the "Bullfrog," and "Shin Ahoy."
The plane was piloted by Lieut. Paul Williams and Sergeant Lesseries. Williams, who is a cousin of Mr. Lutz, had instructed him to on the campus and wave a white flag at the machine as it passed. Instructions miscarried and there was no one to greet the filters. They dropped the package into a tree at the northeast corner of the campus.
Pi Epilson Pi Pledges Nine Men
Nine men were pledged to membership in Pi Epilson Pi national fraternity, at a meeting of the Ku Ku's a short time ago. The new men are: Norbert Drapeau, c;26; William Hanks, c;26; Hilbert Kleon, c;26; William Walpont, c;26; Jack Gillam, c;26; Robert Moody, c;28; Justus Fugate, c;28; Harry Liggett, c;28.
Fraternities and sororites did not have houses in these days. The fraternities had rooms down town and the women in the homes of the towns down town.
Every out-of-town student in the University belonged to a boarding club. These clubs were formed by groups of students who organized and hired a man and his wife to take care of the house and cook the meals. These boarding clubs varied in price from $150,000. Only one of them was wealthy of the students could afford to belong to the club which charged $2.50.
However, it is not surprising in the super-organized life of the University as it is today that the students should forget the stories of University life told them by their fathers and mothers. During the forty years that have passed since then, those first boarding class taken on Greek tours were build up on campus, and the students are interested in the latest snow at the "Varisy" instead of literary societies.
Six Students Spend Summer in Colorado in Geological Study
Several Excursions Made From Permanent Camp in Garden Park
Garden Park
Six K. U. students accompanied Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Shoee on the second annual summer geological field trip to Colorado, June 15 to July 20. The men were Shaoe, Shih, Sheu, James W. Sinden, Everett L. Weirich, Leslie M. Willshire, and Charles M. Young.
The first four weeks were spent in a territory which **officially** known as the Garden Park Area, and is owned by large corporations which lease out grazing areas to the ranchers. Here the party had a permanent camp. The work conditions in detail were complied with on the ground of an area twenty-five square miles. Thirteen formations were mapped ranging in age from the. The party made excursions to Royal Gorge, Cripple Creek and Flrissant, Pre-Cambrian to the Cretaceous. The last week was spent in trips to Pike's Peak, Garden of the Gods, mCave of the Winds, and Glen Eryn. Three days were spent in training at west of Denver studying faults, overturned formations, boggacks, lava flus, wind and water caps.
One day was devoted to inspection of one of the larger silver mines at Idaho Springs. This mine is leased by the Colorado School of Mines and used for practical laboratory experiments. The mines tend for more than two miles underground and at the lowest level is one-half mile beneath the surface. One of the interesting experiences was to climb down a mountain. The ladder stands almost perpendicular, its inclination being more than 850 feet.
"Pots?" Chark will referee the Sterling College College of Emporia game and John Wolf will go to DeTocha to referee the DeTocho-Edison High School game. Mr. Wolf will journey to Iowa City to view the Iowa University-Oklahoma A. and M. game to bring back some dope on the Stillwater team, Karl Schlade, who was awarded a joint Midland College and will bring some pointers on that team.
The Jayhawker coaching staff will be busy this week-end officiating at football games and scouting some of the games played by teams that the Crimson and Blue will meet later in the season.
Coaches Are Officiating Football Games This Week
Final tryouts for the women's glove club will be held Monday, October 1, at 4:30 in room 13, central Administration building.
Engineering Dean Will Be Director of State Service
This Work Costs University Approximately $45,000 Yearly; Does Not Include Fees
Dian P. F. Walker, of the School of Engineering, has been appointed director of state service work and will make a series of investigations to see if some systematic basis for operation cannot be had through the coordination of the different divisions of the University that are giving services, other than instruction, to the people of the state.
The only division, which does this kind of work, that will not come under his supervision is the department of extension.
15 IN FIVE DIVISIONS
Five different divisions have been carrying on this work independently of each other for many years, the four which will come under the supervision of Dean Walker are the biological survey, geological survey, sanitary engineering service, and laboratory services. The laboratory services divided into four groups: analysis of drugs, chemistry of foods, bacteriology of foods, and water and sewerage laboratory.
Is in Five Divisions
The approximate expenditure for the past year by the University in furnishing this service was $45,000. This expenditure does not include the fees which are charged for some kinds of work.
Student Assembly Friday
To Operate Under One Head
It is thought that if all of these divisions operate under one main head more efficiency can be had and the expense of carriage is reduced. Requests for any service of this nature will be sent direct to Dean Walker and he can then decide which division should handle it.
Chancellor E. H. Lindley said, "I am in hopes that the work which the department has done is expanded more, as well as being more efficient, through this o-ordination."
To Have Pep Meeting and Talks by Organization Heads
Chancellor E. H. Lindley will preside at the first student conducted convoction of the year, Friday, Oct. 5 at 10 o'clock a.m. when four students joined the session, Emily Tennay, of the W. S. G. A.; Stanley Learned, of the Men's student council; Terry Terry of the Y. W. C. A.; and Milton Cummings of the Y. W. C. A. Part of the period will be taken up with football enthusiasm on the eve of the first contest of the year with Creighton. Charles Black, captain of the team and "Ham" Hamilton will lend the body in body in yells and

Slate Pencils, Morning Chapels as Part of Student Life on Hill Recalled by Passing of Spooner
The days of Spooner library are nearly over.
Yes, but back in the time when our University was young, when the thin little catalog reminded the student to bring his slate and pencil with him; admised him to "never take his food in haste, nor in the presence of books;" when he could not leave town without a written permit from Charleston, Carolina; assembled for chapel every morning (of the week); those were the days when Spooner was the much talked of "new library."
Little wonder that the students of 1893 were uprooted of their spacious new structure, for heretedefore their library facilities had been very limited. "The library had been on the ground floor, at the first building, on the second floor in the southwest room," states a history of the University, written on its twenty-fifth anniversary in 1891. "It was a small room inside the university building, on the students. One of the alumni, who was then a student in the advanced classes, remembers using some few books in the library... The advanced students had a collection of books, but the nucleus if the library was a myth to the
University of Kansas Art Department Has Best Exhibit at Fai
What—Another Suitor?
Poster of K. U. Student to Be Used in Advertising Next
Year's Fair
Notice was received yesterday from the judging committee of the Kansas Free Fair at Topoka that the exhibit sent by the art department of the School of Fine Arts had received the blue ribbon, as the best exhibit sent in by any school of art in the state.
Three of the students of the department have also received the first, second, and third prizes for the best posters to be used in proclaiming next year's fair. The first prize of $15 was won by Velma Marshall, who graduated last spring, and will be named president for 2014, on posters over the state, on the stationery of the fair and in other ways.
Examples of each kind of work were included in the exhibit: painting, illustrative work, commercial art, design, and charcoal drawing. The art department has been represented at the fair each year and for several successes - years has received first honors.
Katie Bell Watson, fa'24, was the winner of the second prize of $10; and Winifred Dedrick, fa'25, the winner of the third prize of $5. Miss Marshall's winning design portrayed a rooster, treated decoratively, with the words, "Free Fair, Topeka, 1924." The second and third prize posters will also be used in advertising the fair.
K. U. reunions in four cities of Kansas have been arranged for the teachers who will attend the State Teacher's Association. The alumni office has been making plans and obtaining speakers who will address them. These speakers are Tupelo, Salina, and Wichita, Oct. 19, and in Independence, Oct. 18. The talks will be made at dimmers held in the different cities.
Alumni to Hold Reunions
majority of the students
"When the removal of the entire University from the old building so the new one took place, in 1872, the mythical nucleus was arranged on shelves in room No. 4. The use of this room was given to senior classes. Further than adding to their pride, the mythical nucleus gave little else for the advantages. The library experience of the students of this time was mostly confined to the city library and the libraries of the professors." "In 1887 a 'very complete reference library' of 226 volumes was installed in the corridors of Fraser. The number of books increased rapidly, and the library was moved into what is now the registrar's office. In the early years we checked out books at the very window where we now go to learn our A.R.C's."
Spooner opened in the fall of 1893 with 20,105 volumes, and a staff of nine librarians. The library opened at 8:00 in the morning, and closed at 6:00 in the evening. Now the library opens at 8:00 and does not close until midnight, up to 155,000 volumes, but in the thirty years that have since we have grown into Spooner library, and grown out of it again.
Texas steers, like those that roamed the prairies of the New West, are a thing of the past, and in a few years the chair in Dyche Museum, made from the horns of these animals, will be a true curiosity.
The legs of this unusual chair are four short horns placed so that the seat is of gold and brown broached material that blends well with the highly polished horns, which show shades of brown and gray.
Texas Steers' Horns Fashioned Into Chair
Eight large horns form the arms of the chair. These are nearly two feet long and each curves so that the point rests in a hole, which has a diameter twice as fastening the chair firmly together. The back is shaped in the same way by four even larger horns and two smaller ones which form the head rest. These large horns are $ _{1} $ at the base, in diameter at the base.
The chair was given to the Uni
versity this summer by C. G. Wool-
ters of Lawrence. It belonged formerly
to his sister mini Wolter Minters,
who died last spring. A rancher in
Texas gave it to her and its history
is not known. The chair will be
 placed so that the public may see
it as soon as a case has been hewn
from the tree of office of H. T. Martin, assistant curator of paleontology and anthropology.
Today this chair's value is not great, but according to Martin. in a hundred years it and its like will be among the few relics to mind those generations of the millions of Texas steers that played such an important part in the history of the West.
When Mr. Martin was asked why this chair was made, he answered, "I do not know, but it might have been that some cowboy, too old to ride the range, fashioned it for the dollars that he received for his work."
Japanese Returns Home
Matsuoka's Family Is Reported Missing in Tokio
The father, mother and two sisters of Koshiro Thomas Matsuoka, fa26, are reported missing, according to a cablagram received from his uncle in Tokio. Matsuoka, who lived at the Campomolini Club, as well as at a nearby home called home. All of his father's property was located in Tokio.
"He had an unusually fine personality and all those who knew him feel a personal regret at his going and sympathy for his misfortune." Dean J. r. R. Dyer said in speaking of Matsaura's trouble.
He has refused help in the way of gifts, and has been selling his clothes and personal property to get the money for passage. He left Lawrence on the 7:20 Union Pacific last night.
Miss Rosaryne Ketcham, head of the department of design in the School of Fine Arts, spent Saturday in Topeka visiting friends.
Freshman Frolic Is Well Attended; Banquet Precedes
Lantern Paraders Serenade Chancellor; Decorations and Favors Are Japanese
More than 125 women attended the annual Freshman Frolic, which was held Saturday evening. A Japanese dinner served at the University Commons at 6 p. m., was a new addition to the traditional program. Favors included homemade bread and themums helped to carry out the idea of the Japanese decorations.
Rie Sisters Arrive Later
Marie Rusk, secretary of the University Y. W. C. A., and Agnes Husband, dean of women of the University gave addresses of welcome to the freshmen. Harriet De Wolfe, c27, responded for the freshman women. During the dinner Ruth Peterson, Mrs. Peterson, W. E. Expects of a Freshman." "Being a Freshman" was the subject on which Anna Dorothy Lester, c26, spoke.
The Big Sisters, who had gathered in Robinson gymnasium during the dinner, directed an hour or more of fun following that event. Freshman women were taught the yells and songs of the University. A variety of stunts was presented by different groups of the women attending. There was a competition for a number of years one of the traditions of the Freshman Frolic, was the closing event on the program of this year's party.
Sing University Songs
Sing University Songs
All the women attending a long line and marching to bachata-two, each couple carrying a lighted Japa-
tam, each woman marched slowly from the gymnasium to the home of Chancellor E. H. Lindley. A serenade of University songs was given the members of the Chancellor's house-hold by the freshman women assisted by their Bie Sisters.
The Freshman Folic of 1923 was felt by those in charge of the party to be one of the most successful ever given in its prime purpose, which is to promote the growth of women and to acquaint them with the customs and traditions of the University.
Accept Resignation of Shaw as Editor of Magazine
Owls Adopt Constitution
At a meeting of the Owls at the Sigma Chi house last night, a constitution was adopted which embodied an opening of owl staff membership to anyone in the University. A person may be elected to the staff although he may not be selected as a member of the society.
The resignation of Chester Shaw, because of his increased outside work which makes him feel that he cannot handle the job in the best fashion, was accepted. As yet no one has been appointed to Branley; was elected business manager to fill the position left vacant by the resignation of Ryland Petty, because business management of the Jayhawk will occupy all his time. Harold Stonebroker was elected art editor. Dick Beal as co-editor of *Dick Beal* advertising manager; Orion Yeadain, foreign advertising manager; and Dick Wentworth was chosen circulation manager.
While not definitely certain, it is partially determined that the first number of the Owls are from the report current that the Owls were to combine with the editors of Show Me of the University of Missouri is unfounded, as the Owls believe that for business purposes a magazine should be kept separate.
