DAVID PORTER SPOKE AT JOINT Y. MEETING
Higher Moral Standards Are Needed by University Students
In spite of the inclement weather more than 250 men and women heard David R. Porter, international executive secretary of foreign work for the Y. M. C. A. speak at 4:30 Tuesday afternoon at Myers Hall.
Mr. Porter is a former football man and when attending Bowdin College at Brunswick Maine in 1902 he carried the ball 107 yards against Harvard for a touchdown. This was before the field was shortened.
Mr. Porter puts his message across with the same earnest purpose that he used to lug the ball across the chalk line.
"What university and college students need today is a compelling moral standard by which to guage their campus and social lives," said Mr. Porter. "Too many of you adopt the ideals of your little two by four cliques instead of making a precedent you are content to follow.
"We set a standard, a goal, to work toward in our scholastic and in
work toward in our scholastic and in our social lives. We make great activities to teach that goal. Why should we make such activities just as bibh and as worthy?
Mr. Porter left Tuesday night for Norman, Oklahoma where he will conduct a series of meetings at Oklahoma University.
MONDAY IS OREAD DEADLINE
- "What are your standards of truth, purity and service? Is your idea of service world wide, or is it for me in your local community?" My my university and my nation?"
All Contributions for the Magazine Must be in Nov. 14
Next Monday, Nov. 14, is the absolute deadline for all Oread Magazine contributions, according to Connell Carlson, editor of the publication. A month before the Thanksgiving game, before the Thanksgiving game, the magazine will be published.
There is still a demand for articles of all types. Short stories are wanted. Humorous incidents of Hill life (can be used very readily. Any type of story) may be written, and such articles may have written and will in will be thoughtfully considered.
The coming issue will be large than usual, and as a result, much more material can be used than formerly, according to the editors.
Engineering Curriculum Has Several Changes
A change in the curriculum of the School of Engineering provides for the limiting of technical reports to two a year. Hereofore the requirement has been four, this ruling makes necessary the saving of one full class hour.
Another change affects the freshmen entering the school. Up to the present time the requirement for those who had not had at least three hours of college math in addition was that they should complete four hours of college math in addition to the regular hundred and forty hours in the course. While this requirement has not been removed nor in any way abrogated, it will be possible in the future that more students take hours electives instead of being required to count them as extra.

COURSE NOW OFFERED IN VISUAL EDUCATION
Kansas a Pioneer in Opening New Field of Scientific Thought
OTHER COLLEGES WATCH
Course Consists in Studying Pictures, Their Standards and Aid to Vison
'The introduction of a few pictures into a class period is likely to result in an improvement ranging from 23 to 28 per cent. This is not a statement of a "movie fan but a cold scientific fact" says Prof. J. J. Weber in regard to the course in Visual Instruction.
Eusing the semester every student learns how to operate a moving picture projector.
The University of Kansas is a pioneer in this work. College all over the country are manifesting an interest in its development as a college course. Dr. E. K. Fructell of the university has written to secure the outline of the course and has asked to be sent in touch with the progress.
The present class consists of twenty six members, mostly senior and graduates. The work is carried on by investigating committees. The results of the research of these different committees may be incorporated in the course. Every member of the class will be given "Visa Education," "Moving Picture Are," and "Educational Film Magazine."
"Visual instruction should not be called a new movement in education. It is as old as education through the one itself," said Professor Weiner. "If we do not photograph there have come into existence means of great educational possibilities. They are the still picture, the moving picture, the step coagraph, and the laminar slide. Working with these images, the chief concern of visual education."
The course consists of seven main divisions: history and growth of visual education; principles, including vision for using and factors in visual aids, standards for judging pictures, study of the eye, and emotional and moral values of pictures; types and sources of visual aids are still pictures, stereographs, motion picture, commercial films, and museums; exhibition of administration of visual aids, by county, state, or U.S. district; methods of instruction are supervives and training of teachers and methods in the class room and in research.
K. C. Newspaper to Show K. U. Views Next Sunday
Prof. C. M. Young of the School of Engineering, is the newly elected Advisory Editor of "The Kansas Engineer" magazine's engineering magazine of this state.
An airplane view of the Stadium, and other handsomely finished pictures of the Campus, will be featured in the pictorial gravure section of the campus. The views are day, Nov. 13. Among the views will be a birdseye of the campus, close-ups of Fraser, Green Hall, and the gymnasium, an airplane view of Potter's Lake, and the "Lover's Lane" to the Chen Building on the Chen Building to the Stadium.
Professor Young was for several years the editor-in-chief of "The Colliary Engineer," and was later on the editorial staff of "The Coal Age." He is also the author of a number of pamphlets and bulletins, published at the University of Illinois, and is perhaps better fitted for the position than any man in the state, according to Dean Walker.
A few weeks ago the Journal published similar pictures of the Missouri University Campus. The Journal is the only newspaper in Kansas City having a pictorial gravure section, and it has had it only since last summer, when the management of the institution changed hands.

Suggestions May Be Embodied in Amendments to Student Body Constitutions
DEFICITS TO BE AVOIDED
Means of Paying 1921 Annual's Outstanding Bills Will Be Sought
The committee, composed of Dean John R. Drey, chairman, Prof. W. W. Davis, Prof. L. N. Flint, Agnes Jefres, Eulaia Dougherty, Lloyd Ruppenthal and Bion Kohler, has been asked in particular to recommend a plan which will protect the University against a repetition of the deficit in education. It will enable the committee believe it will enable the Jayhawk staff of future years to produce a good book more easily.
A sub-committee of the Joint Committee of Student Affairs will meet Friday afternoon to make a thorough study of the system of publication of the "Jayhawk" and of methods of use in other universities.
The committee's recommendations will be sent to the Student Councils for their consideration, and if approved will probably come before the student body as an amendment to the constitution.
The immediate cause for the investigation of the Jayhawker question was the large defect left by the management of last year's annual, for the first time, of its difficult to fix responsibility. The University authorities feel that a more business-like method of publishing the Jayhawker should be adopted to prevent the occurrence of the present future and to meet the present deficit.
"I feel that the efforts of the staff to put out a better book than has ever been put out before, led them to overcome the limits of their resources?"
The Men's Student Council has appointed a committee to see how the matter may be kept by hardened and to since responsibility for the deficit. They also expected to provide ways and means by which it may be wired out.
FOREIGN STUDENTS IN NEED
Europeans in Need of Necessities
of Life
"Con' Hoffman, former Y. M. C. A. secretary for the University of Kansas, now the Executive Secretary in charge of the European Student Relief of the World's Student Christian Federation, writes home of the critical needs for the bare necessities of life which prevail in European countries among the student Jass.
Student relief operations are being carried on for eleven countries are receiving funds in the form of rebel, while twenty-six countries have contributed to these funds. The countries receiving relief are: Asia Minor, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Greece (foreign students), Germany, Ireland, Switzerland (foreign students), and Turkey.
"It is indeed an undertaking," Mr. Hoffmann writes, "in which the students of the world have united and extended the hand of fellowship. The students of today who are involved in this work will be the leaders of to-morrow."
Mr. Hoffman says, "During the past winter many students without shelter whatsoever were found sleeping in the railway stations, toilets of buildings and even under bridges. In Vienna two students were found dead in a schoolhouse. A woman student with sore on her hands is reported, who, when asked whether she was receiving medical treatment, replied that for her it was a case of choosing between medical treatment and the one meal they had, but may, but that the pangs of hunger compelled her to choose the meal."
In Austria it is reported on good authority that 80 per cent of the students have an income below the existence minimum.
Relief operations take the form of food, clothing, shelter, medical attention, too- books, and the securing of stable occupations for the students.
Some K. U. organizations have become interested in this work of relief. The W. Y. C. A. collected clothing to send to Russia; and at present time, a campaign is being conducted among the Latharan students of the University for funds to be sent to needy European students.
