Financial Depression Causes Return of Older Men
MORE UPPERCLASSMEN BACK
There are more juniors and seniors in the University this year than last year, according to the latest figures, said Geo. Foster, registrar.
Last year there were 1.108 junior
seniors and this year there are
5.964 senior and junior
year. There are several logical
explanations for this fact. The most
opportune theory seems to be that during
the years of 1919-20 and 1920-21
encrolled who had been in the service *during* the previous years, and due to the lack of work, a large proportion of them are back in school. Many of them have not received an uneasyful and are making use of their time by going to school.

ROSEDALE WILL HAVE JAYHAWKER SECTION
Miss Maud Miller Has Been Appointed Editor for the Medics
An addition has been made to the 1922 Jiahwacker staff in the appointment of an editor for the School of Medicine section, which is to be a new feature of this year's annual. Rosedale has been given the position, and will take care of Jiahwacker business from that end.
Cap Garvin, Editor-in-chief, was in Rosdale last week making the appointment and arranging for the Medical School section. He is in record of a letter from Miss Miler, tuesday giving final acceptance of the job, and every assurance that some real work is to be done down there.
It is the plan of the Jayhawker management to make a separate section of the Rosseid School of Medicine this year, showing pictures of students together with snap-shots of the activities of the medics. This new section will not include students enrolled in the School of Medicine and in the University at Lawrence, but will include only Rosseid students.
Miss Miller will also handle Jay-
brower subscriptions of the Rosedale
students. She said, "I believe the
Rosedale students will subscribe a
higher cent than the resident students
at Lawrence.
Pictures of class groups and organizations have already been made for this section. "We feel that the students at Rosedale are just as much at home at Rosedale as at Lawrence, and it is harder to keep them in close touch with us. We are using this method to make the students who read the 1922 Jowhynch realize that 150 men and Rosedale are still in the University."

ACCEPT OFFER OF WEST POINT
Athletic Board in Meeting Monday Night Decides to Send Football Team East Next Year
DETAILS INCOMPLETE
Game Will Be a Tremendous Advertisement for the University in Eastern College Circles
The A my offer for a game with the University of Kansas on October 7 at West Point was accepted 'nast evening in a telegram from Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics to Capt. M. R. Bidrage. The acceptance of the offer was wired after a meeting late Monday evening. The details and final arrangements for the game will be decided on later.
The length of time which it will take to make the trip was the only reason why the board hesitated to give its sanction to the game. The game would practically a week of school and will allow it to turn Lawrence before the Drake game on October 14, but will be obliged to stop off at Des Moines on their way home. The trip from West Point to Des Moines will be made in practice along the way, so the team will be in cohesion for the Drake game.
Doctor Allen received another telegram from West Point yesterday afternoon saying that there was much interest being manifested in the east where he was located. A wire signed by sixteen prominent alumni in New York City was received at the athletic office this morning. The telegram expressed the opinion that the scheduler of a game at West Point would announce advertisement for the University.
"The Valley first," said Potty Clark, head football coach, in remarking on the Army game this morning. "We don't want to schedule any game which will hinder us in our Valley race.

Northwestern has an open date on November 18 and the athletic department does not have games on this date to be played in the new Football.
