Three vacancies at West Point man filled by men of the cal. T. E. C. unit, according to ars. S. P.

It is understood that the nominated candidates must pass a successful entrance examination in order to be admitted to the Academy on July 1, 1924. The examination will consist of physical and mental tests.
Nominations Being Made

After the prospective candidate has been recommended by the Chancellor and professor, she would make application directly to the proper senator or representative in Congress. Nominations are being made daily and prospective candidates may delay in submitting their applications.
New Equipment Beneficial

U. candidates. This appointment will be the aim of the cadet corps from now on until the examinations and selections are made, according to officers of the unit.
As there are two other R. O., T. C. units in the state, one at the Kansas City campus and another at Hattan and another at Fairmont College in Wichita, the K. U. men will have to show their superiority by taking two units to gain an appointment.
The men who receive the appointments must be American citizens and residents of the state of Kansas, must satisfactorily prove their ability to lead and command man, must be of high moral character, and of good personality, and must be able to pass the examinations with a passing grade. That is, the other applicants. Then they will start immediately for the examinations which will probably take place in the spring.

No Solution to Murder
It has just been learned that Miss Helen May Holden, the woman who was mysteriously murdered in Denver, Colo. this summer, was in school at the University last year and received her A.

A similar incident which happened about two weeks before in Denver added more mystery to the case. A young woman alikened to a taxi, and when the driver later stopped at the station, she found that she was dead. She had the same kind of a wound on the top of her head.
The murder, which baffled police then, has not been solved yet. Miss Hodgin was living at a private residence and had been looking for a position teaching in Denver. She was acquainted with few people there, but she was drawn to a motion picture show. About midnight she was found unconscious lying in the yard at her rooming house. The strap of her wrist-watch was found nearby, but there was no trace of the watch. Her purse had apparently not been touched. The only sign she saw was a grab on one of her heels. The appearance that she had been struck by a heavy object.

At 11:53 a. m., the time the first shock was哭ed at Yokohama, the "President Jefferson" was an eight hours run from the place. They started immediately for the port and by 10 p.m., "m." said Russell, "we were able to see the reflection of the thames through the bridge, as the early sun rise is some morning." At 10 a. m. they reached Yokohama.
"Everything was burned," he said. "A gale of about forty miles had come up about five minutes after the quake, spreading the flames among the frail buildings of bamboo. Mountains had slid into valleys, railroads
Education of Youth Is Sole Purpose of University--Lindley
The Individual Is Supremely Important; Courses of Study Secondary
Secondary
A University exists solely for the education of youth, not for the perpetuation of courses of study. Chancellor Lindley told members of the University assembly last evening at the first meeting of the year. He was telling of the use of students as advisers to the advisers, especially the advisers of students entering the freshman class.
"Your supreme duty as members of this faculty," said the Chancellor, "to be an adviser and a discoverer of the capacities of the youth in your college; to teach what you would attend, based on an intelligence test, to declare what the future of any individual might be. The investigator might be correct 80 percent of the time, but what of the individual who has the individual is infinitely important."
The Chancellor recalled the dinner to Dr. E. H. S. Bailley of the department of chemistry, celebrating the graduation of the University, and commended to the members of the faculty the spirit of service that had made it possible for the University of Kansas to develop such leaders as Franklin, McCollum,
"The Balleys of the Kansas acutely, out of the stream of youth who have come from the villages of Kansas, have developed a leadership if which we need not be ashamed," aid the Chancellor.

were twisted, and one small island that fortified the city was split in two from one end to the other. The second island was located near Russell. There were none. "Only those people were saved who reached the heights around the city." The "President Jefferson" picked up white refugees and took them to Kobe.
"Three days elapsed and the biliner was back to Yokohama. This city was stillouldering. This time I asked him if he had brought them back to this country."
A bitter feeling was aroused among the white refugees because of the situde the Japanese took toward them, according to Russell. The Japanese allowed no white people to go on board their ships after the disaster and forced on women to desied food and water. The Chinese offered no help.
Sorority Presidents Meet
Some of the points where the ship stopped on the first part of the voyage were Kobe, Japan; Honkong, China; Manila, and Shumuztai, Japan.
"We saw everything there was, see," said Russell. "and we had a knock-out time."

The advantages of life in the new dormitories were discussed and the excellent rules and regulations unanticipated. The students were explained. "The social hour in the evening," Miss Husband said, "is intensely interesting and helpful in making new acquaintances." She also talked on the importance of guarding one's health and advised them to keep fit for class work.
The infringements made upon the general pan-Hellenic rules during the 1950s were also those in regulations were offered whereby rwying rules would be in keeping with the University regulations and still want to retain their customs and tradition.
In closing Miss Husband argues the women to see the benefit in making their interests include the entire women-student body and that she could not offer everything that student life holds.

Excavation to Start Upon Egyptian Tomb Owned by K. U. Medic
El-Driny Receives Deed to Land Near Cairo Where He Thinks Treasure Lies
Excavation of the El-Driyton tomb, which has just come into the possession of Mohamed Hamed El-Driyron, Cairo, Egypt, who is a student in the School of Medicine, will start as a teacher of the map he received yesterday. A month ago he received a packet from the American Consult at Cairo, containing deeds to his half share of the estate, valued at 6,755 pounds, left on the death of his mother. The packet was opened in the presence of his brother.
The map is now in the vault of the First National Bank of Lawrence. The drawing, highly colored in red and blue, showing the land features and directions, is written in Arabic, points to the location of the tombs.
Mr. El-Driny, after making a duplicate of the phone, will送来 it to the American Museum of New York City, with instructions to open the tomb. It should contain anything of value. El-Driny will give one-fourth of the money and fourth to the American Museum, and keen one-half for himself.
As the sepulchre is not far distant from the King Tut-Klut-Ahm-Khent tom recently unearthed, it is probable that a tomb in Egypt are contained there also. When questioned as to the superstition held by the natives of Egypt that, “when one opens a tomb he opens his own tom.” El-Dirny said, “I have no answer.”
"I look at it from the psychological standpoint. If one takes an aspirin tablet, he thinks it relieves his headache, and he feels better. If he thinks he is going to die, perseveres. I am going to die. I shall die. I am going to finish my medical course here, and go on to Rosedale."
