TAKING CONTRIBUTIONS FOR BURROUGHS FUNI
Will be Used to Maintain Property Where Naturalist
Lived
During this week, September 26 to October 1, contributions are being received for the John Burrough Memorial Association. The necessary amount is $4,000, which will be used in purchasing and maintaining 'the properties where the great naturalist spent most of his life. He was born in Roxbury, a memorial to him. Rivery Estate, located near Roxbury, New York, is typical of Burroughs; and it was about these grounds that he made many of his observations and wrote most of his works on nature study. Chestnut Bark, one of the famous lodges on the estate, contains a valuable collection of books in which the author himself made numerous notations.
Burroughs died on his eighty-fourth birthday. He had a great underlying affection for her; a rural father and a teacher, two years of study (nursa school teaching, journalistic, and political work), he returned to the land on the Hudson, where he spent the rest of his life seeking experiencing, and writing about nature.
Besides being distinguished as a naturalist, he held high rank in the word of letters. In 1917 the American Academy of Arts and Letters awarded him its medal for distinguished achievements in literature. Americans have been honored, Cougain was conferred fellowship, Whittier, Haworthen, and other great Americans have been honored. Contributions of any amount are being accepted by Miss Cora Dolbeer, of the department of English and Mrs. Francis Reid. It is hoped to raise the necessary amount by October 1. A contribution of $50.0 or more entitles one to membership in the academy but does not constitute smaller amounts are gratefully accepted.
STADIUM FIELD WELL TILEL

A line of this tie extends 414 feet on the east side of the Stadium, connecting with the city storm sewer at Eleventh and Illinois Streets. This is connected 294 feet of 24 inch storm sewer into which a 300 foot 33 inch tile runs carrying overflow from Potter Lake and a 300 foot 33 inter segmental line which will take care of the storm water from land
Ditches for this tilling have been and are being dig by a caterpillar tractor ditching machine. This machine digs the ditch, convolves and piles the dirt in readiness for the filling in process. It will dig ditches from twenty-four to thirty-three inches wide. The ditches for the thirty-three inch storm sewer are dig fifteen feet deep.

Men's and Women's Organizations Plan to Push County
Clubs
Announcement was made today from the Alumni Office that typewritten lists of K. U. students arranged in alphabetical order by counties will be furnished students interested in the formation of county clubs.
"These lists have been typewritten with street addresses in Lawrence and telephone numbers," said Alfred G. Green, the assistant director of students interested in starting county clubs may reach all the people in their counties. The Alumni Office also has printed outlines suggesting the location of organization for the county clubs.
"The Men's Student Council and the Women's Student Government Association now have before them a plan to have a definite student organization $^2$ to push the county clubs. It is apparent that the county club work is very important in promoting the University and in making the social side of life more interesting for K. U. students. There is a plan now to increase attendance at the time of the Missouri-Kansas game in the new Stadium and this is another reason for an early start in the county club movement.
"Students who are willing to take up the responsibility of getting their county units together may have the typewritten list of the students from their county by calling at the Alumni Office."
"Last year more than sixty county clubs were organized. The county club was responsible not only for increased University appropriations, also for the large increase in the attendance in the University, the year."

Team is Expecting Hard Fight in Washburn Game, Saturday, Not Overconfident, Says Captain Pete Jones
"Sandy" Winson, lead a few yells, and Prof. Arthur MacMurray, of the public speaking department and an old time "K" man made a short address. Professor MacMurray believes that a better time is coming. He did not hesitate to tell the squad and followers of this fact.
Forest C. Allen appeared next on the speakers stand, and "Bph" did not say much about the team. He told a little incident regarding "Pots" Clark and Bob Zuppe, the great Illinois football mentor, which told in a few words what a great heart belongs to the Crimson and Blue coach.
"Pete," Jones, referred to as the "best looking football captain in the Missouri Valley" spoke a few words, saying that the squad was in great shape, was not overconfident, and was expecting a great game Saturday. "I'll go with the team, neither have we lost any," is the way the 1921 football captain put it.
The first official rally of the 1921 football season opened with a bang in Robinson Gymnasium at 10 o'clock this morning. The band, under the leadership of J. C. McCanles played "I'm a Jay Jay Jay Jahawk," while the gymnasium was filling to capacity.
"For two weeks they have been having rallies and pep meetings at Washburn in preparation for this opening game," said Allen. "They believe in that team, and are offering two to one odds."
Referring to the rally that is scheduled for Friday night, the Chancellor made the statement that he wished no freshman would take any material for the booze without first asking for it. "The merchants are more than willing to help and cooperate with in this," the Chancellor stated.
This afternoon at 3:30 o'clock the first official field rally will be held. If possible the band will be on hard, but the audience asked that every body come out.
"Team work, is the greatest slogan of our team and it is the greatest slogan of student organization" said Kevin O'Reilly. In this meant, the wearing of your cap.

Jawhawk War Captive,
Back to Native Land
This morning, however, there came a letter from "Con" Hoffman, former Y. M. C. A. secretary here, who was last on the hill the year of '19 and '20, explaining to Mr. Flint that he had found the wooden Jayhawk in a priso ncam in Germany. The bird's origin is unknown. It will be mounted and placed in the Journalism Museum.
Two_days ago Professor Flint received a package containing a little Jayhawk carved from wood. There was no note or identification tag of any sort attached to the little bird, so that Professor Flint was in ignorance as to the why and whereof of its arrival.

It gives one a pleasant sensation to know a minister breathes with a soul so broad that he can admit the advani-ness, such as cussing and gambling.
Blackman said that the spirit of education and religion and football had changed. He forgot to mention the sports clubs he have undergone some little change.
"Long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to be interesting."—yes Professor MacMurray said it.
With all the "best things" in the Missouri Valley it seems a shame that our public speaking department should be left out.
What ulterior motive did the Chancellor have when he advised economy just as the students were deceived to the amount to be pledged?

ALIEN HOLDS CONFIRMANCE
Chancellor Lindley and Dean Kelly Represent University
Chancellor E. B., H. Landley in an interview this morning discussed the conference called by Governor Allen which met last Friday in Topeka.
"The contestance was called to consider problems of economy in the administration of the business of the state," said Chancellor Lindley. "It was partly a result of the issuing of a public statement by State Auditor Turner McCormick that money could be profitably curtailed.
"There was no specific criticism of the University and aside from the suggestion of possible duplication of the extension work of the various state educational institutions there was little discussion of education."
The afternoon session was largely occupied with problems of departments of the state government, James H. Kimball, state business manager, made an impressive statement of the efficiency of the educational institutions under the direction of the Board of Administration.
"Mr. Kimbalaj) paid a tribute to the courage and vision of the recent legislature in providing for the needs of the institutions after a long period of neglect," said Dr. Lindley. "Many other states volted their response of the education institutions and said that they needed more money rather than less."
"Governor Allen announced the employment of a committee of experts of national reputation to further coordinate, in conjunction with the Board, the University, Agricultural College, and three Normal schools.
"Throughout the conference was evident an earnest recognition of the conditions which call for rigid economic policies. It is also clear that in the state, the best possible service."
