COLONEL ELLIS
After a person dies, his acquaintances usually are able to look back over his life and, getting a perspective of the whole period of his existence see that he typified some trait of humanity. One's deeds and with-holdings, his habits and uncertainties—all fit into the eternal scheme of things to create a definite, particular conception of him in the minds of his fellows.
So, with the news of the death of Col. Fred Ellis of McPherson, men who knew him—and there are many K. U. students now who served under him during the World War—were shocked. They were startled to learn that such a vivid life should be so suddenly ended. The colonel was the sort of a man who might be likened to a steel; and strong all the way through and productive of sparks when struck against the flinty propositions of life.
He was the kind of an officer who could whip a company into disciplines quicker than any other commander in the regiment. His commands were crisp, sometimes harsh, but always reasonable. Hence, the deep respect his men always had for him.
Captain Ellis, and later Major Ellis, as he was known in the army in France, will not lead another company, battalion, or regiment, but the men who served under him there will remember him as one of the few strong commanders among the many weaker ones who led men into the death-dealing woods of the Argonne. His sharp words will be forgotten in the memory of the kindly spirit always behind them.
START YOUR COUNTY CLUB
The appeal has just been made that students start the organization of county clubs and the Alumni Office is assisting in the plan by compiling typed listings of the names of K.U. students arranged in alphabetical order by counties. These lists will be furnished any leader interested in the formation of a county club. This announcement is meant for every University student and every student should start the organization of his or her county club.
The county clubs have done much to promote the interests of the University. Last year the county club idea received a great deal of publicity and the county clubs accomplished more than ever before. Most of the clubs held banquets in their respective counties during the Christmas Holidays, invited the high school students of the county, and then secured a university man to talk and boost Kansas at the banquet. These clubs also reached old alumni of the University, interested them in K. U. life again, and induced them to back the Stadium and the University. The county clubs were influential in increasing the attendance at the University this year
nd in the securing of larger appro priations for the school.
This year the county club again has its field. The Stadium-Union drive is not yet completed. The alumni must be interested in the University. Students and athletes throughout the state must be told of the advantages of Kansas. The University needs cooperation and the people of the state must be impressed of this fact.
Don't wait for someone else to start our county club.
GO AND GET IT!
Opinions regarding the six dollar hospital fee seem to fall into three types. Some students believe it is exhortant; more consider it as one of the necessary evils of the college; and a rare few believe it to be expedient.
Personal opinion is of no consequence. Since you have paid the six dollars, instead of complaining, why not demand full value for the investment.
The hospital staff is there to serve. Diphtheria is very prevalent now but you can receive preventative inoculations for this disease as well as for typhoid. All necessary medicine and treatments for any ailment can be received.
By making use of this privilege you may ward off an attack of sickness which would keep you from your classes and cause you to fall behind in your work
If you are disinterested from a personal standpoint, your social-civic instinct should make you consider the effect on the University community.
You are endangering the health of everyone you meet by attending classes when you are ill. If practiced in excess it will cause a spread of some dangerous epidemic such as diphtheria and may force the University to close.
Plain Tales from the Hill
So why complicate things? You have made the investment so why not collect the benefits. You will create work for the hospital staff, protect your own health, and do a great service for the University community.
The fact that only two new faculty members have been added to the department of home economics seems incredible since we have heard that old saying so often about getting to a man's heart through his stomach.
No doubt but what this weather will bring numerous letters from the folks back home with instructions regarding "heavies" and colds etc.
Some morning the students are going to come on the hill and find it all blossomed with posters telling about the merits of some poor duck who has been enticed into politics.
The latest report concerning the Wa. baun sign painters is that they were last seen on the front porch of a Washburn burns sorrority house, their hair sliced back, their trousers creased, and apparently they were modestly enjoying the admiring glances of about thirty co-eds.
Lawrence was a lonely place Saturday. The small crowd that watched the score board at Carls all had a good alibi for not being at Washburn and they hastened to explain it. Some had a case of nerves, a few had the fall fole, others were professed students, and a few admitted that it was too near the end of the month.
Convenctions at the University of Iowa are to be held on the campus this year due to the impossibility of accommodating the entire student body indoors. Why cannot K. U. convictions be held on the north slope of the campus. There everyone could at least have a seat.
Girls at the University of Iowa are earning their membership to the W. A. A. by taking a series of likes on those of their regular gynaeum workus.
The better time that Professor Iacmurry spoke about in convocation a few days ago has started to ome.
The School of Commerce and Marketing of the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College has been recognized this year. New plans for efficiency are under way and it is hoped this school at the head in the College.
The Kansas Industrialist announced that Homecoming Day would be November 19 this year.

Psychology test, more commonly called "Nut" tests, are required of all freshmen and new students of Ohio State University.
Ohio State University has had phonograph records made of her state songs, "Carmen Ohio," and "Fight the Team across the Field." The songs are sung by a male quartet.
K. S. A. C. has the largest band this year that it has ever had. In the first band there are fifty- six pieces. The first concert was an outdoor one held Tuesday. The second band of twenty-four pieces is used at all pop meetings and football games.
At Lake Forest College, Illinois, the freshman girls are forced to wear their hair in twenty-four pig-tails with a green 18bon on each one. Also they must wear one white stocking, one black one, with a green ribbon on the ankle, and carry three large books under their arm. A parasol is carried in going from one building to the other. The freshmen lose their colors to the sophomores, and the freshman girls must suffer until Thanksgiving in the form of a green bibon on the ankle.
The anses Agricultural College has a new method of learning its shortcomings. A letter was sent to each student who did not return to school this year, containing questions about the course, particularly as to why he had not returned.
Two hundred fifty-seven Cornell men reported for rowing this fall. Twenty of the old crew reported.
Many men have registered for the Cornell soccer team this year.
