PEN AND SCROLL JOIN WITH THE QUILL CLUB
Two Literary Societies Unite to Publish Oread Magazine
NUMBER 10
Quill Club and Pen and Scroll, literary societies of the University, held their first meetings of the school last night in Fraser Hall. The most important matter under discussion at both meetings was a proposed plan for uniting the two societies in the publication of the Oread Magazine. Quill Club invited the Junior organization to furnish associates on the staff of the Magazine to attend Appointments for these offices will be made by Richard Stevens, President of Pen and Scroll, within a few days.

Frosh Waste Barn Paint on Steps of Green Hall
This morning, early visitors to the Hill were attracted to a glaring sign in red paint, on the sidewalk directly in front of the law school. It was the freshmen's annual cry of defiance, in poor prose and in high school upper classmen, seeming to be directed especially to the Laws, judging from the location of this work of art which reads, "DOWN WITH THESE PIG CLASSMEN, WE DO OUR OWN SIGN PAINTING." Evidently this little greeting had a taste in the mouths of the Laws, as the paddle was wielded more or less vigorously on several of the "Frosh" who have 8:30 lass, and who happened to pass Green Hall.
Woman Leader Says Men Are Near Ideal
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1921.
NEW YORK, Sept. 23. (Unitee Press)—At last woman has made a man out of man.
The reformation in progress since the beginning of time, now is accomplished, and man—the majority of course—has reached the height of
"Twenty years ago man spent his nights at the club; 200 years age he powdered his nose in public and wore silk panties; 2000 years ago he cut a woman's head if he did not like the part in her hair.
"And woman did it." Mrs. Mary Coleman, attorney and club leader, told the United Press today.
"He shaves every day and keeps himself neat and trim. Physically and mentally he is the peer of any nast generations.
"But today—he comes home, help wipe the dinner dishes, and then goes out and pushes the baby carriage around the block.
"The chance was brought about by woman. She keeps him at home nights now because she is able to discuss business and politics and he doesn't have to go to the club. She makes him do some of the shopping and be interested in care of the home.
"Why men have nerve enough now to argue with the butcher because there is too much bone in the stalk. "He isn't growing effeminate—he's just found out how to be a man."

Ass'stict Fresh Coach Woody
meaned into the Kansas office yesterday about how he needed weight in the Fresh line. We went out to watch the Fresh in action last night, and after lapping one 200 pound, and four hours of double-century hark, we couldn't help praying for the sake of the Variety that Coach Woody don't find any more beef.
The editing of the columyn is being turned over *v* to a full-fledged Irishman, so we feel that we leave it in safe hands.

Gym Classes to Meet M. U.
The chances for a gymnastic meet between K. U. and Missouri seem good this year. Dr. Naishtin's class in advanced gymnastics work is planning on organization and trips this winter. No definite arrangement has been made, but dikes the gotten are the gymnasts are prepared for them, according to "Phoor" Allen.
Dates with Missouri and Ames are almost certain, while there are several other prospects.
Last night occurred an incident which, although not serious in itself perhaba, indicates a tendency toward a situation which would be decidedly indesirable. It is to be the duty of every student to help guard against the development of a spirit of domination and rowdyism that smacks of the barbaric customs of the ancients and which is highly unbecoming to University students who have reached the highest peak of education in the state.
TOO MUCH PEP
The plan is made that at the beginning of every year there is an over-abundance of spirit that must be expressed in some way and which up to the present has been given vent to by bullying the newcomers to the institution. It is indeed unfortunate that this should be considered by anyone at a University, an appropriate method of displaying exuberance of spirit in supposedly intelligent and cultured people. If there must be some demonstration, why not use some form of athletic contest which is violent enough to wear down surplus energy? The Freshman-Sophomore Olympics already established as a spring event at the University are a splendid example of what might be done in a similar way in the early fall. Such a competitive working out of rivalry in the spirit of true sportsmanship on both sides, would then become a interest of the entire University, a thing which would be absolutely above criticism, and a thing of quite as much "fan" as an affair based on a lower elevated plane.

ORCHESTRA CALLING MORE MUSICIANS
Professor Kurtz Has Excellent Plans For Coming
Sentiment and Idealism Join With Machinery and Hard Labor To Crystallize Kansas Spirit
Professor Kurtz has some excellent plans for the Orchestra this year; he expects to give two concerts, and it may be that more can be arranged later. At present it is impossible to say what will be the nature of these recitals but it is likely that some of the larger compositions will be undertaken. Probably one symphony will be the feature of
(Continued on Page 4.)
The tuba player is in great demand, and while one drummer has come out the orchestra is in need of at least an assistant, probably two, who can be located.
The first orchestra practice of the season was held last evening in Fraser Hall, and Prof. Edward F. Kurtz expressed himself very much encouraged by the display of talent interested in the work. There were present forty-six musicians. Most of whom are ready for immediate service; but more trombone players for horn and drummers are needed. Prof. Kurtz announced a splendid viola concert with ten vios than last year. The cello section will be unusually strong, the wood, wind, and brass sections are sadly deficient. There are other instruments also which Professor Kurtz would be glad to obtain. He has already one French horn but will need another at once. There is an oboe this year, an improvement on last year's lineup, because this orchestra found it necessary to import a male instrument. Knox Hall is an instrument. There are no trombone artists out, and there will be good opportunity for (free) of them at once.
Fort-seven feet high does坐 sportive slope ascend. One above the other the broad steps range skyward and the steep inclines provide the green playing field in the center, the tennis courts and other practice fields at the end of the stadium, and still farther on, the green slope of the campus building in the background.
The thing is only partly finished now, but the thrill of running up one of the concrete stairways from the outside and striding easily through the ramp out on to the broad expansion of seats, the exhilaration of climbing joyfully to the top of the structure to look out over whole business of
Lumber; and rocks, machinery and men, money and hard labor ideals and concrete substance are all being assembled down on the old adcCook field to raise a splendid, useful structure — the stadium. Not until one stands on top of the section already raised and paddle footed in it, can you see all of it, for from there and there only can the view as it will vally loll, be seen.

Dr. Forrest C.

"It is on this field that my stars will twinkle,"

Novel Machine Proves That Cheering Helps
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 23. (United Press.) If you're one of those persons who claim that cheering at a football or baseball game is waged breath and energy, prepare yourself to be converted to the great pleasure of watching someone There's a machine at the University of Pennsylvania that proves, according to psychologists, that cheering does help a whole lot and in many cases may be the means of winning the game. Cheering brings out a last, almost superhuman effort on the field, cheered, according to psychologists.
The machine consists of a little drum to which a marker is attached breath and energy, prepare your other end of the tie is tied to the finger of the subject. Then a 1,800 gram weight is also tied to the subject's finger, and he is induced to touch the finger down and down the finger can lift no longer. Nourger or cheering is done the first time.
Then, during the second experiment, when the finger shows signs of fatigue, the subject is urged to "buck up, old boy, and show some pop!" and "just hold out for a little while longer." The markings on his hand show that he has been able to lift the weight many times more in the second trial than in the first when no cheering was done.
FORTY IN THE BIBLE SCHOOL
New students are enrolling in the School of Religion every day, Dr. Arthur Braden, Dean of the School, reports forty enrolled already and says that much interest is being manifested in the school, not only by the students but by outside church and social workers.
Morning Classes in Two Subjects Considered
"Not only is the University interested but the city and state are watching us", said Dr. Braden late yesterday. "We had hoped to have students at the present rate of increase, enrollments will exceed that number. When we consider that the first year's enrollment of the University was but seventy, we feel that the University has a School of Religion are indeed bright.
"Several of our classes were placed at the 4:30 hour to prevent conflicts with too many class periods in other schools of the university, but so many students come in that hour that we are very seriously considering the division of some of our classes into morning and afternoon sections. The class in 'The Life and Teachings of Jesus' and one of the department classes will probably be divided."
A₁₀ all-University Rally will be hold next Friday evening September 30, at 7:30. Sandy Winnor will be there to dispense the pep in preparation for the Washburn game to be held the following day. Freshmen are urged that they will be taken into the famous Thundering Thousand.
It $i_4$ hoped that there will not be a repetition of the regrettable affair which took place last night when a freshman who was ill was taken from his bed and given a severe hazing. This $i_4$ against the traditions of this school and would not be allowed to attend the students of the University of Kansas. Signed, Ed White, President, Men's Student Council.

"FIGHTING PARSON SPEAKS WEDNESDAY
Blackman Will Speak in Behalf of University Christian Associations
ALLEN UNABLE TO COME
Delivered Address at Memorial Convocation Here Two Years Ago
Earl A. Blackman, the "Fighting Parson" of Chanute, will be here Wednesday morning, September 29, to talk to the men and women of the University in behalf of the University Christian Associations. Warren G. Bloedgett, secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., received a telephone message to that effect this morning.
The name of the "Fighting Parson" is not a strange one on the hill, Reverend Blackman having addressed several university gatherings last month in Chicago. He the Y, M, C, A, and Y, W, C, A, and two years ago delivered an address at the Memorial Convocation. He also spoke, by the request of Governor Henry J. Allen, at the reunion of 54th Division in Topeka last fall.
Aside, from his ability as a speaker, the "Fighting Paranoid" is an experienced boxer. During his visit to the university last spring, he met his friend Gymnastium and gave several talks to gymnastium classes on the art of boxing. Reverend Blackman is a firm believer in all sports, and sees no harm in dancing and a healthful social life. His biology is superb, and he was a Blackman a student in the University of Kansas in '13 and '15. During the war he was chaplain in the Thirty-fifth and 139th Divisions. He is now pastor of the First Christian Church at Kansas City from Govoyce Allen, who was also invited to speak during the Christian Association Week, September 25 to 30. He wrote, "I regret to detect that it will not be possible for me to speak Wednesday, September 26," and those meetings have come up on that date, making it necessary for me to remain in the office."
Hill in Kansas City For Memorial Association
Alfred G. Hill, secretary of the Memorial Corporation, made a business trip to Kansas City Thursday. Before returning he will visit Fort Scott and Pittsburgh in the interest of the Memorial Association. At Pittsburg he will arrange for a reunion of K. U. alumni to be held when the State Teacher's Association meets there Nov. 3, 4, and 5.
Paddle Squad Calls Frosh Armed Bluff
Paddler to about the number of one hundred who were out paying after-dinner calls to the elusive fresh Thursday night, found one chap who evidently didn't know the war was ever.
As th. brethren approached the house where lived a freshman from Kansas City, they discovered the said frémar was looking the windows of his room, also the door; and, on completion of this, was defying any and all to come and get him. One of the holder apirits of the paddlers' crowd took the lead and stepped up to the front window and demanded admittance. Refused this, he jummed over and followed over the sill, and looked down into the mouth of one of those large barbite instruments known as a revolvent.
This leader of the "high-jackers" said to the hard-bolled frosh, "You haven't the nerve to shoot."
Evidently, though, the fresh was not afraid to shoot, for he fired one shot at the leader of the gang, missing him about two feet; and the bullet passes through the upper windowpane breaking the glass.
Apparently this angered the padders somewhat, for they grabbed friend freeshie, conveyed him to the street, and administered unto him the kind of caresses that father used to give him out in the wood-shed.
Mrs. Frank Oyster of Fort Scott has been visiting at the Chi Omega House this week.
