Spend Morning Beautifying the Campus, Followed by Lunch at Commons
RECORD PLAYS AT GYM
K. U. Band and Cheerleader Will Put Pep Into The Aggregation
An officially recognized "Campus Day," comparable to Stadium Day two years ago, excepting that Campus Day will become a permanent institution of the University, will be inaugurated Saturday, October 7, the day of the Kansas-Army football game at West Point.
For four hours in the morning the men of the University will beautify the campus, working a pre-arranged schedule formulated by a committee of seventeen, composed of faculty members and students, and at noon the men will partake of a "feed" meal. The men will be under the direction of Miss Anna Barmum, director of the Commons and one of the original committee.
"We will not load students for Mr. Shea," said Prof. H. A. Ree of the School of Engineering at a meeting of the committee last night in the chancellor's office, "but we will do such things as sed the slopes of the new athletic field, grade the ground back of Marvin Hall, clean up Marvin Grove under the direction of Prof. W. C. Stevens of the botany department, visit w potter Lake, construct tennis courts—some behind the gymnasium and others at the south end of the practice field—and aid the engineers in fixing up the new engineering laboratory."
Those Who Work Shall Eat
The women of the University will report to Miss Barnum to help in the preparation of the food and in the serving of it. All fraternities and clubs will be asked to close for the soon meal. It been decided that those students who actually do work at the university will receive a reaction of competent squadrenders shall receive tickets to the noon feed which will also admit the student to the gymnasium in the afternoon for
the games on the electric score board brought here at considerable expense.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, SEPT. 29, 1922.
As for arrangements made to get the plays from West Point, a special Western Union wire has been leased. The movers will be telephoned to the theater, and the electric score band a short time later they are made at the big game.
K. Club to Act as M. P.
Members of the K Club will be
asked to act as military police du-
ming the morning and will be author-
ized to use a little coercion if nec-
sary to get delinquent students
to seize an implemment of war an-

First Data on Game at Gym "At no other place will the reports of the game, play by play, be received than at the gymnasium," said Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics administrator of the Campfire Day Idea, last week. "We have first data on the progress of the game."
larger to the bleacher store booth in a gymnasium. Bleachers will be placed inside the amphitheater floor, the center space being reserved for those who care to sit on the floor, as more students can crowd in that way than if chairs were placed there.
The K. U. hand, together with "Virg" Miller, University cheer-leader, will be on hand to pep up the students of the University being made whereby every student of the University will be able to occupy an advantageous position with Virg Miller.
As yet no provision has been made for the distribution of tools to the men, but the new sod for the slopes to the athletic field will be hauled directly to the field and there be carried by the students to the sides of the field. It is probable that the tractor belonging to the department of military science will be utilized to do any grading necessary
Schools Organize In Squads It is proposed to organize the various schools of the University into small squads, assigning to each organization a particular bit of work to be done. Such organization requires training.
Campus Day activities will be handed down to the succeeding committee chosen for the event each year. So

SCHWEGLER SPEAKS AT WOMEN'S FORUM
Problems of Present Generation Was Topic of Discussion
The Women's Forum held its first meeting in Fraser Hall Thursday afternoon. Professor R. A. Schwegler of the department of education spoke on the problems of the present generation which an open discussion was invited.
Professor Schwegler said that the American democracy was facing its biggest problem at the present time. He stated that unless pressure was exerted to develop the basic habits of right living, to make clean minded, whole-souled, ambitionless beings out of the coming generation, and to educate them about the importance of plete and more fruitful living, the commonwealth would fall in three generations, as the Roman commonwealth fell.
Professor Schwegler gave statistics showing the high rate of defective minds in immigrants in New York City. He told of the increase of population among the uneducated class, and of how the government in New York City is largely of the mediocracy. He says the time is coming when intelligent people must face the situation fairly and squarcely.
FINE ARTS COUNCIL FORMED
The purpose of the Forum is to create an interest in current events and topics of general interest.
The next meeting of the Forum will be held in Fraser Hall, Room 210, Thursday, October 12. The *constitution* will be read, and committees for the choice. Deborah Hirglin will speak on Industrial Research Work.

JAYHAWK TO FLY ON TRIP TO WEST POINT
Players Will Sail Them in Every Town on Way Fast
CHESTER SHORE INVENTOR
Allen Says This is Best Advertising Feature Yet Introduced Here
The Kansas Jayhawk, full plum,
will fly in every town of importance
between Lawrence and West Point,
and will be the Kansas Journey
to the Army, camp.
A Jayhawk, printed in the K. U. colors, crismaon and blue, with wings out-spread, carrying a message from K. U. Lawrence, and Kansas, has been designed and will be printed the last of the week. In the nose of this bird will be stapled a small rubber band, sound of which it may be shot into the air.
This advertising novelty is the invention of "Cheet" Shore, who has spent more than a year working out his idea, but only perfected a few days ago. "I now have the bird so balanced and equipped," said Mr. Shore this morning, "that it can be shot with a rifle, that will soar far off before alighting."
1604 Noauma
Dr. F. G. Allen, athletic director, in conjunction with Mr. Shore and the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, is overseeing the printing of the bird and will supervise its flight. "I think it is one of the best advertisements I've seen," Dr. K. U. and汪震 Dr. Allen this morning. "Circulars and booklets have been overused and have failed to attract the attention for which they are printed, but this idea will make a hit wherever it is seen, and will be read and commented upon."
“And,” continued Dr. Allen, “the birds will be flown by the best looking birds” from the University, the some twenty odd football men who will make this trip. She me a pretty girl anywhere along the route, and I’ll show you twenty or more Jayhawks living in her direction.
Lawrence to Be Advertised
Claude L. Scott, secretary of the chamber of commerce, is preparing copy to be printed on the underneath side of the bird, telling of Lawrence and her educational institutions, with a word for Kanaas as a whole. On the bird's back, between the fold of the wings, will be a statement of the bird, telling just who he is, where he
"I think Mr. Shore deserves the thanks of the entire school for his ideas," said Dr. Allen, "for it is inspiring and that can work out any such a novelty."
PLAN K. U. RADIO NIGHT
Five thousand birds are being printed for the Eastern trip, but the idea will be used for other games and the idea trips, said Dr. Allen. "Before I definitely decided to accept the bird," Dr. Allen said. "I went to the top of the stadium and shot him into space. It was worth a 'million dollars' to see him soar, and I at once knew that the idea would be a success."
All students will assemble in Robinson Gymnasium at 9 o'clock, and under the guidance of Virgil Miller, cheerleader, the "thundering thousands" will give a representative rendition of the famous Rock Chalk.
To broadcast the program, the Kansas City Star will install a microphone in Robinson gymnasium where the program will be given. From here the microphone will carry the sound waves to the Star's broadcasting station in Kansas City, from where it will be sent all over the country.
On that night, group K. U.
alumni and friends all over the United
States will gather around radio re-
cording communities and hear the K. U. cheers.

ALL GIRLS CAN TAKE GYM
Doctor Bacon Finds Average Posture Poor
The general physical condition is somewhat better than last year, Doctor Bacon found, although he is as yet not able to give any definite statistics as to the findings of the examinations as a whole.
"Any girl who is able to be on the Hill is able to fill her gymnasium requirements," Dr. Martha Bacon said today. The work is so arranged, she said, that each case is given individual attention, and no one will be required to do work too strenuous for her.
In the physical examinations of the freshmen and new girls, which are not required at this time, Dr. Bacon finds the average posture very bad. She attributes this to laxity and copying fashion plate models which are often pictures in a slouchy, lean position.

BEAT THE ARMY!
New Students Will be Examiner For Vocational and Administrative Purposes
FRESHMEN TO TAKE INTELLIGENCE TESTS
OCTOBER 2 IS DATE SET
Kelly
K. U. Plan is Universal Now is Statement of Dean
Intelligence tests for all freshmen enrolled in the University for the first time will be given by Prof. Curt Rosnowen in Fraser Chapel on Oct. 2. The tests will be given for vocational and administration purposes, according to F. J. Kelly, dean of administration.
Interest has been taken in this phase of educational administration for some time. At the meeting of the National Society for the Study of Education in Chicago last year the intelligence tests formed the main topic of discussion. Universities all over the United States are using the same plan that the University of Kansas has adopted.
"Correlations between grades recorded by the intelligence tests and those which are made in the several departments of the University are a prime object," said Dean Kelly. "It is hoped that when intelligence tests have won the confidence of educators in their reliability, the results may play a large part in guiding people to become more successfully follow. The reason we have heard so little about them up to date is due to the fact that the study of their reliability is as yet incomplete By the time the tests have been used for several years the administration will have confidence as to the prope of which the tests may be put on the university campus later in four generations of students."
When it is found that intelligence tests determine the particular strength of mind a student has, the records will be used to nid him in choosing his courses. With this possibility the enrollment would be preceded by intent testing and an independent and reliable advice could be obtained at the time of enrolling.
Won't Tell Nature of Test
As for the nature of the tests themselves Prof. Rosenow, of the department of psychology, was silent. It is understood however that there will be no records on the tests. The papers are carefully graded and the records kept strictly confidential.
Those sophomores who were unable to take the tests last year and all freshman enrolling in the University have taken these psychological examinations.
ENGINEERS HAVE SMOKER
Mechanicals and Industrials Heat Dean Walker
More than forty engineers, both Mechanical and Industrial, attended the Mechanical and Industrial mixer last night. It was the, sort of a "mixer" at which cigars and cigarettes, doughnuts and sweet cider played a prominent part in the mixing.
Dean Walker spoke briefly of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He said that there are 17,400 women, 17,200 men, and 1,200 woman, Kate Glenason, of New York.
"There are several good reasons for organizing," said Dean Walker. "First, the establishment of standards, such as the screw thread and the steam boiler code; second, the creation of a real professional spirit; third, the establishment of a code of ethics; fourth, the profession of engineering to a higher plane; fifth, to influence public opinion.
All "K" men are requested to be present at the big rally which will be held in Robinson Gymnastics Mon-ent. — Ilo Joe Bloom, President of K. Club.
"There is only one way to function to guard the membership, and that is not to admit unqualified persons and make ability, training, character and industry the essential qualifications."
Father and Grandfather Are Graduates of K. U
Dean L. E. Saye returned to his office this morning after an illness of five days. He had planned to leave last Friday for Washington, where he was to have and with the United Standards for Foods and Drugs September 25 to 30 but was obliged to give up his trip on account of illness.
Students whose parents have attended the University of Kansas are not infrequent nowadays, but this year a student is registered whose father and whose grandfather as well are graduates of the University of Kansas. E. F. Robinson Jr., of Lawrence, in the student. His father re-ceived the degree of Bachelor of Law in 1900. His sister's side is Frank Riffle, who was graduated in 1880, and who now resides in San Francisco.
At least eight students this year come from homes where the father or mother, or both parents were K. U. graduates.
One man, Franklin Barrows, belongs to the third generation of K. U. students, both his father and here having graduated here before him.
SOUR OWL WILL SOAR ON HOME-COMING DAY
Much Fresh Material Needed to Place Magazine in Class With Best
The Sour Owl, K. U.'s nationally known magazine of college humor, will spread it swings for the first time this year on Homecoming Day, November 11, it was decided at a Gamma Chi house last night.
Contributions to the Sour Owl are desired immediately, it was announced this morning by "Chet" Shore and "Rusty" Hogin, the editors. It is hoped that a number of "lights" may be discovered among the animals. The Master handed to any one of the Owls will find its way to the editors.
It is rumored that several innovations will be offered in the forthcoming issue of *the magazine*. The aim of the Sour Owl board is to put the Sour Own on a par with the Cornell Widow, Harvard Lampoon and magazines of like stamp. The cover of the upcoming Number will be a feature.
"Snappy cartoons are wanted a little," said one of the ones this morning. "Anyone who has the ability to illustrate humor is missing the chance of a lifetime if he doesn't get his work in the Sour Owl. A box for contributions will be placed in a prominent place on the campus."
It was also decided at the meeting that initiation will be held for three men at the Sigma Nu house Tuesday night. The vacancies in the membership of the organization were created by the failure of "Babe" Clark Hudson Gilbert and Raymond Jones to return to school.

VETERAN PROFESSOR OF GERMAN IS DEAD
Dr. Henry Otto Kruse Loses Long Fight Against Disease
WAS AN ALUMNUS OF K. U.
Classes in Department Dismissed in Honor of His Memory
Henry Otto Krusse, associate professor of German of the University of Kannas, died last night at his home at 1583 Kentucky street. In respect to Professor Krusse, the German professor of the University did not meet today.
Professor Kruse was born Sept. 3, 1863, in southern Russia, and at the age of nine came with his parents to New York, where they lived for two years. The family then moved to Kansas, and it was in this state that Professor Kruse spent most of his life.
In 1894, Professor Kruse received his A. B. from the University of Kansas. Following this he taught for some years in the high school at Halstead. In 1897 he became President of the Faculty of Bethel College at Newton and held there the Chair of sciences.
On Faculty in 1902
Professor Kruspe spent the year 1902-03 in K. U. as a teaching fellow. This was the year in which Dr. Strong became chancellor of the University. In the spring of that year, Professor Kruspe received his A. M. degree, and the following fall he went to Chicago to study.
In 1904 Professor Kruse became an instructor of German at the University of Kansas. In 1905 he was appointed assistant professor of German. Since that time his connection with the University has been unbroken until year before last when he was forced by illness to give up teaching.
The next year, with the indomitable spirit so characteristic of him, he taught half time, and this fall he was fully determined to continue his work, but during enrolment weeks, came the final physical break.
Professor Krusse was a great lover of books and an inveterate reader, not only of his speciality, the German drama, but of philosophy and world affairs. For a number of years he was chairman of the German library committee, and did a great deal to help the German departmental library.
Professor Krusse was known to students as a gentleman, kind and sympathetic. His determined attempts to continue teaching after his breakdown show the tenacity of his purpose, and above all his conscientiousness in all things. His students and fellow prosecutors loved him, and his death is a distinguished to the department of German as well as to the University as a whole.
The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the Kruse home, 1538 Kentucky street.
