THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
TRUE UNIVERSITY LIFE DEPICTED BY ALUMN
Graduate Magazine Change Form to Emphasize News Content
PUBLICITY BY LETTERS
"Religious Life" and "State Serv vice" Pamphlets Now Distributed
The University of Kansas is being presented to the people of Kansas as a business asset through the Alumni Association. Through this association former and present students are be given the opportunity to earn university to the citizens of the state.
"Officers of the Alumni association feel that the most important work before it is to have the University shown in its proper light before the citizens of Kansas. It is their firm belief that if the University is not amused and thoroughly understood, it will receive a heartier support. The Alumni Association is attempting to bring this about through publicity and organization.
The work of the Alumii office has been enlarged this year and has a large program of work before it. Alfred G. Hill is the new secretary. Agnes Agnès is the president in speaking of the work of the Alumii Association, Mr Hill said;
A new feature of the publicity work this year is the publication of a bimonthly news letter. The first dealing with The Truth about Religious Life at K. U. had a circulation of 12,000. The second pamphlet recently issued dealt with K. U. and Direct State Service. The third treat the students with How K. U. Stu-treat them? "These news letters deal with facts about University Life are sent out to prominent citizens throughout Kansas in the hope that they might better understand and support the school.
The Graduate Magazine has changed its form. The front cover contains news items and the inside stories are written newspaper style with newspaper heads. News content is stressed. The personal items in the magazine have been doubled. Present needs of the University and service to the persons subscribing for the journal were sent to 4,700 persons. The paid up circulation is 2,400, an increase of 200 subscribers over last year.
A considerable part of Mr. Hill's time has been spent in organizing K. U. clubs and looking after Unit 16 during the summer these clubs were organized during October, most of them being addressed by Chancellor Lindley. As soon as the office work lessens, Mr. Hill's time is spent in personal field work in Kannas.
A revision of records of alumina in the office has taken much time. Seven thousand poems are on record. After the World War many of the addresses were changed and it has been necessary to make the list up to date.
The Alumni Association also is cooperating in the formation of county clubs. It is expected that before Christmas all county clubs will be organized in order that the students may missionary work during the holidays.

Freshmen Girls Are Most Popular-Why?
Why is it that the freshman girl has more dates than any other girl? How often have you asked yourself that question? They do, there is no disputing the fact, and not a few upperclassmen would give, well almost anything, to find the secret of the freshman girl's charm.
The Fates were kind at last. The mystery has been solved. It isn't the powder puff or the rouge, it isn't anything that can be bought, clothes that can be worn, food that the freshman girl the most sought for Perhaps you might say it in another way and call it deserted dignity. How thrilling it is to call her over the door when you see her say, "It is so good of you to ask me to go." This holds much more enchantment uttered in adoring tones than the polite thanks of the upperclass girl who has learned that mer are not the whole world, only a bit more.
But alas, the novelty, the desertside dignity soon wears off, and there the poor men are left with Dignity—until a new freshman appears.

ROBINSON GYMNASIUM
The Paleontology department at the Museum has recently received a rare collection of curios as a donation from the late Charles Bradley of Lawrence.
THE person next you at dinner can see so little of what you wear that it is rather indiscreet to choose a collar without knowing what you may expect of it.
In this collection is an old style six cylinder pepper box revolver, using percussion caps. It is in perfect working order, and although the wooden handle is splintered and worn, it is hard to believe the mute evidence of its age in the dim, rust erupted on it sights barrel, 1608.
Another weapon in the same collection is a Shark's rifle with bayonet at the back. The second weapon is a tank in the famous battle between that ship and the Merrimae during the Civil War. In the heat of the battle it was hit by the tank but later recovered by its owner.
In addition to these things there is a worn letter written by stonewall Jackson thinking a friend for the revival of the city's fort was dated September 26, 1862.
And there is **na** old spinning jenny without a date; two samplers, one dated 1810; and an antique key wind watch bearing the name of a London watchmaker. Its crystal is a thick convex glass, and the delicate carving on its works manifests the workman's skill and creativity in appreciation for detail. The watch was given to Mr. Bradley by his father in 1847.
INn the same collection there is a nearly complete shoulder blade of an elephant which Mr. Martin says is the nyl specation of its kind in the Museum showing the full length of the scapula.
And there is a set of Phillipine walking sticks, one for each day of the year, carved from precious woods and laquered to a degree sufficient to arouse the desire of the most fastidious Senior Law.
Three curiosities of the collection are of North American Indian origin. One is a war club from wood, representing a bird's leg with the claw grasping a huge ball of tree root. The club weighs about two pounds each and is typically used as a typhoon prop to have been used by an gastropod tribe of Indians.
Museum Gets Rare Collection From Lawrence Man Including Old Arms, Letters, and Relics
E W EARL & WILSON, TROY, N. V.
Another specimen of this group is an extra fine Indian hickory bow.
encased in a fringed buckskin sheath which is bordered at either end with a seven inch pattern of headwork.
The last of this group, a unique role of the Custer Massacre, consists of six feathered war arrows with jagged edged metal arrow heads, supposed to have been poisoned. These arrows, it is said, were removed from the bodies of dead soldiers of the Custer battlefield. Two of the arrows were found in a cave that was an Arapahoe arrow, the fourth an Assinabine, the fifth an Ogallala, and the sixth bore the marks of the Anyaza tribe.
Last in the collection are two antiques from the East, an early Japanese sword and a Chinese opium pipe.
The sword with its slender curve three foot blade sharpened to the fineness of a needle point has it's hilt covered with ivory yellow fish armor which in turn is bound over with black headband bending upward as to expose, at intervals, a diamond pattern of the fish skin. Both extreme of the sword hilt as well as it's sheath are delicately embossed with gold in a lotus flower design. The opium pipe, steeped in the mystery and fascination of its past, carries a tiny bronze bowl and a stained glass window jointed wooden stem, suspended by a jade ring hangs a blue silk pouch, a little threadbare but still fine with embroidery and smelling faintly of opium.
As soon as possible the entire Bradley collection will be placed on exhibition in the ethnological department.

Professor From K. S. A.C Explains Mental Tests
Dr. J. C. Peterson, head of the Department of Psychology at the Kansas State Agricultural College, gave two lectures to the students of the college. Mr. Garnett, in his first lecture, explained the mental tests given to the students of the freshman class at the Kansas State Agricultural College. These tests are given to all freshmen and those not yet enrolled, compared with their rank of work.
In his address at 4 o'clock to the Department of Psychology, Doctor Peterson explained the "Peterson Puzzles," a series of puzzles which are designed to test the mental capacity or alertness of the person solving them. As an interesting companion piece, he also cloaked himself in the presence of a professor of the University of Chicago who worked at the puzzle forty-five hours before solving it, while a boy of thirteen accomplished it in two hours.
Francis Morton, c'23, has withdrawn from the college.
