In addition to the above business, ways and means were discussed to improve undergraduate scholarship. February 15 of last term, Prof. W.S. Jenkins, a professor in the chology, proposed that steps should be taken toward investigating the possibilities along these lines. The faculty yesterday authorized, as a whole, the creation of a committee to be appointed by the Dean of the chology department on general standards in scholastic endeavor among undergraduates.
"In speeches that were made on the floor, it was suggested that improvement should be made in methods of teaching, especially as related to the cutting down of W. Davis, the new secretary of the faculty. "The general idea expressed was to give more individual instruction with a smaller number of students in each. This of course necessitates more instructors. These and other problems the committee will handle."

K. U. MUSIC STUDENT HEADS JAPAN SCHOOL
Helen Weed, B.M.' 21. Writes of Her Success at
Helen Weel, B.M./B.J. who studied voice under Dean H. L. Buller and piano under Prof. Anna Sweeng; is now head of the department of voice at the Myagi Girls' School at Sendai, Japan.
In a letter to Miss Sweeney, Miss Weed writes:
"I've been in the land of sunshine for three weeks, and it has done nothing but rain. The rainy season is July, August and September so we got in for the last of it. To me it was waiting patiently. Judging from I've seen Japanese towns are not very pretty, but the country is so beautiful that I really can't describe it. In the rooms they live close together and in compounds with high board fence around. Miss Hiroshima knows how to have very beautiful gardens, but the public, of which I am one, nor supposed to see them unless given a special invitation. So far I haven't received any. There are no sidewalks and no paved streets, so you can imagine what it would look like. I think most of my salary will be spent for rubbers.
I like my work very much and the girls are adorable. They work so hard and do everything you tell them to. Of course that may not last after the new wears off. There are only a few songs in which they sing in sight singing, ear training, part singing and chorus singing. It is quite different from what I expected, but very interesting. They are very good in rythm and the technical sight singing, but they use off the key in the more unearly ways.
The other day one girl actually flatted and sharped in the same line. However, she is one of the worst ones. They aren't all that bad by any means. Two or three of my voice students really have quite nice voices. They seem never to have heard of such a thing as singing up in their heads instead of down in their mouths. We really glad all my time isn't taken up in voice lessons, or I'd be a nervous wreck.
I had a perfectly wonderful ocean trip. I was only sussex for a few minutes one morning. After that I had my breakfast in bed and always felt right. Several people on the boat told me that getting up and walking around on an empty stomach was what caused lots of seasickness.
People here have been perfectly lovely to us. We have gone to two or three dinner parties a week besides the welcome parties the girls have given us. I feel as though I was coming out in society."
Topeka, Oct. 20—The priceless relic in the museum of the State Historical Society are to be projected from the weather at once, Gov. H. W. Clinton, Col. Sallie Woodson, new president of the Kansas State Historical Society.
The Washington University baseball team was on board and we certainly had a good time. They were dandy boys and had enough pep to keep the whole host from being homeick. They will be in Japan unannounced time and I'm hoping to get down to Tokyo to see them play.
Priceless Relics of the State to be Cared For

We should intensify the interest of former students and alumni in their University. Various methods and programs were devised for the carrying out of these purposes last year and the genius of this work will be of a somewhat similar nature.

BIG SEND-OFF RALLY
AT SANTA FE DEPOT
Jayhawker Squad Leaves for Ames at 8:20 O'Clock Tonight
31 PLAYERS MAKE TRIP
Cross-Country Team Will Accompany Football Squad
Rally!!!
All members of the University, Band will meet at the Santa Fe station at 7:45 tonight, to play for the "send-off" rally.-J. C. McCanies, Director.
"Whooh it up! Gang around!" Bring em all out!" So says Sandy Winsor. Efthusiah for the Ames game is to be generated tonight at the Santa Fe Station, when every loyal Jayhawk will meet to give the Kansas team a regular send-off on their invasion into Iowa territory.
The rally will just "break out" and if Sandy Winder's plans are carried out, it will break in full force. Owing to the absence of Chancellor Lindley this week, there has been no convoitation at which to generate pep in front, but the "spontaneous combustion" type of rally is often the best kind.
Thirty-one Jayhawkers will board the Santa Fe train tonight and set out on the first Missouri Valley invasion of the 1921 season. Twenty-one of these will be the football squad, six of the cross-country team, and the other four coaches and trainers.
The football men will go directly to Ames, arriving there at noon tomorrow. They will have a light work-out on the Ames field tomorrow afternoon, and then go into cold storage in the gym before the announcement line-up shows only two changes from the outfit that stared in the Drake meloe last week, but the number of men who are being ticken on the trip would indicate that a greater number of men will get into the other two contests of the season. But to come back to the rally, Cheerleader Winsor needs and expects a goodly portion of his "Thundering Thousand" at the Santa Fe Station to give the football and dance teams start their trin. The train time is 8:20 o'clock and the rooters should be on the grounds by 8 o'clock.
