BAND UNDECIDED ON R. O. T. C. ENLISTMENT Older Members Declare They Would Not Derive Full Benefits PLAN HAS GOOD POINTS Organization Would be Stabilized and the Unit Made Permanent The fate of the Band as regards its entrance into the R. O. T. C. is as yet undecided. The rehearsals held Saturday and Sunday, the proposition was not mentioned. At present it seems as though the young members of the Band favor younger members of the R. O. T. C. and older members of the idea because they would not derive the full benefits of the organization. If the Band should decide to join the R. O. T., the older members would probably sever their connections with the organization. This would no doubt weaken the Band, but for the time being only. In the opinion of several of the younger members, the R. O. T. (C. W.) would infringe many new rights that would stay with the organization for the full four years. This would tend to stabilize the Band and make it a substantial institution. Although the enlistments for the R. O. T. C. should have closed Saturday noon, Captain Burdick is hold, ing them open from this week in the event that the Band should decide to join.

The Normal team must defeat Kansas in the fresh from a 19 to 15 victory over the Pittsburgh Normal team, at Emporia last Saturday, in which Pittsaum was doomed to win. It has been generally conceded by authorities that Kansas will win in a walk, way. Here is what Coach Allen says about Kansas prospects: "We have a lot of confidence but you know we would be Lawrence High school for the worst thing that could happen to any squond is overconfidence. While I do not like to think of being pessimistic and seeming to throw a wet blanket over Kansas hopes, I want to warn over them that this is such an and just remember that the score with Wash., burn last year was 0 to 0." Guessing on the probable score seems to be a hazard at this time but most doppes are want to favor Kansas for the long end of the score. Emperor is said to have one of the headiest bunch of linenen fighting for them that they have had in some years. The Kansas men should by this time know the rules as well as the teachers. According to the coaches, the players on the squall will be used in the importa game as much as possible, saving the other as much as possible. The bigger games, minus this allowing the green man's chance to get into action and prove themselves. The management looks for a record crowd for an opening game on account of the spirit that has been shown to date by the students in supporting the team during he pre-season workouts.

FEW ENGINEERS IDLE Government Needs Men for New Road Program Manhattan, Kan., Sept. 27—Un- less more young men than have studied to become civil engineers in the last few years take up the pro- fession in the future the government will be seriously handicapped in its federal aid road program, is the opinion of R. A. Seaton, dean of engineering in the Kansas State Agri- cultural college. "It has been estimated that only one-third of the civil engineers needed in the federal aid road program will be graduated in the next year, but more than two percent in enrollment in engineering schools," Dean Seaton says. "This year our enrolment in civil engineering is year, and no greater gain in enroll- only a ten percent gain over last years." He mentions the moments of the engineering division." "I received three requests for civil engineers in one day's mail this week. Salaries ranging from $2,200 to $2,500 a year are offered inexpensively and are not guaranteed. I certain to embarrass the government in its road building program." So acute is the need for engineers that the Kansas State Agricultural college has been asked to recommend young men who have completed one or two years of work in the engineer field.

LINDLEY Every freshman in the University is required to attend a meeting in Fraser Chapel, Wednesdays afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, according to an announcement from the chancellor's office. The meeting was postmortem from last week. Chancellor Lindley expets this to be the first of a series of talks which he hopes to continue throughout the year and which will deal with matters which help the student team engage in debate in regard to University affairs. Measures will be taken to check up freshmen attending at these meetings. This work will probably be done by older students. Student Council Ousts Politics as Dead Issue Politics and Moms Student Council are to be entirely separated this year. Council members are bushing up their political feelings and pulling to, together for the good of the organization and the University. As soon as the Council is in regular working order politics will be thoroughly taken up and suggestions and requirements made. So far, nothing definite has been arranged as to elections. Discussions on the limitation of the time for tickets to be out and the amount of money spent on the elections can under way at the first meeting. This discussion should probably be continued at second meeting. Any rules made will apply only for the fall and spring elections and only for this year. The college representatives on the Council feel that the least said about politics the better their work will progress. If the organization is broken apart on politics the council can never expect to work as a unit. Olin Harner, c23, attended the Delta Gamma formal last Friday at Washburn College.

Although no woman has ever been elected president, den of her class or manager of the Jayhawker, Pram, or member present on the ticket of each class, and work as vigorously for votes as do the men The short time between now and elections is hoped by the council members to eliminate much of the money that has heretofore been spent in advertising and campaign cheerleading. Carler Carl Winsor at the council meeting last week, made a proposal that the council take action to limit the expenses of any candidate, and thus cut out much of the littering up of the campus that has been at tendant, with the elections of the council president. In response to this suggestion, but it will probably come in again at the meeting Wednesday. In the election for filling the two vacancies on the student council, no petitions have ben filed. One vacancy in the School of Pharmacy, and one in the College were occasioned by a petition for Petitions for these positions must be dates to return to school this fall. signed by twenty-five mn from the school in which they are enrolled, and the petition must be turned in to Herbert Olson, secretary of the count. The election will be held by the council probably at the weekly meeting Wednesday night. Student Still Dons Abbreviated Pants A student in the University of Kansas and still wearing "short pants." This is the unique distinction of Corwin Waterson, 15 year old Freshman, who enrolled in the College this Fall. The home of the knickerbockered youth is in Vinhold, where he was born. Young Waterson should earn a degree from the University two years before he is of voting age. Besides being the youngest student in the University, Waterson has another claim to fame. He will be the only Freshman who will wear the Freshman cap absurdly with a coolful prodigy of his calibre will not able to pass the Law Building in knee pants and say "I'm a Sophomore."

LIGHT, FAST ELEVEN MAY MEET EMPORIA Picking Eleven Men Fron Eighty Workers is Hard Job for Coach LONBORG MAY BE QUARTER To Scrimmage Freshmen for First Time at McCook Rally Today Choice of eleven men from seven tons of beef and brawn is what Head Football Coach Forrest C. Allen has ahead of him in his preparation for the first game of the season with the Emporia Teachers on McCook Field, Saturday. Nearly eighty men weighs are available, register nearly 10,000 pounds is instalments on the scales in the sheds. The men average only about 165 pounds, from expert mathematical computations by the Daily Kanan sport staff. Several of the men who bring up the average by tipping the balances at around twenty stone, however, stand little chance of doing it to Dr. Allen's fast fighting eleven. The team which Dr. Allen will put in the field against the Pedagogyus will undoubtedly be the best he team is mister, or the first quarter at least. The death of backfield men at the first of the season has slackened under the recruiting of the football fans, and a full dozen of the fleet, though not especially heavy, backs, are ready for the opening whistle. Lonberg has been used at quarter in practices this week, and will probably be inaugurated at the pilots' games. Both Mahin Weed are others who have received the favorable attention of the coaches at quarterback. The other men in the backfiel will probably be selected from Simon Harrison and MacAdams halfbacks. Ivy has shown up brilliantly at the wing positions in practice as a whizzer, among whizzers, and will remain a force for the next decade. Bell, Mac Donald, and "Tad" Reid's pro话 will be the other end. The coaches have been using Roid with kildgoves, and are probably giving him for a later game. The giant Sandefur will be used at tackle, with other Higgins Hale, Harris or Jones, at the other end of the box. He will key tackle last fall will probably be for the big games of the season. Wint Smith, Chubb Fraker, and Cliff Arthur are probably the best bets for the guard positions, and Gordon Sanders, tuck candidate from last year's squad, is given "Red" to play against the team in race for the position at center. Such a team would average about the same as would the total of the squad—about 170 pounds in the line and 160 in the backfield. Mr. Allen's light, charging tactics, however, are trusted by the fans to put them across Such a team would average about the same as would the total of the 192 and 190 in the backfield. Mr. Allen's light, charging garties, however, are trusted by the fana to put them across the goal line at least three times during a sixty minute period against the championship conference team from Emporia. The first scrimmage against the freshman team will be held on McCoack Field Tuesday afternoon before the admiring eyes of Cheerleader "Sandy" Winsor and about 1,500 spectators. The scrimmage of Tuesday Western Michigan will be one of the upsets of the season, will in a large manner, determine to Coach Allen just what men will go against the invading Normalites next Saturday.

Plain Tales From the Hill COVENANTS OPENING OPEN CovenANT Prof. W. H. Davis found it necessary to get a larger room for his class in Diplomacy; and the one chosen is in the basement. What's this about open diplomacy? A group of girls passing Pete Neighbors, laboring under the load of his Senior Law Cane, were heard to remark, "How much better it would be if the Laws would only let him carry a swapper stick." Another good name for a moving picture of College Life would be The Red "F." Dear Dot: You haven't given me a chance to look at you this morning. DIAPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENCE W. W.

Prof. Alter is doing some work on the problem of weather and rainfall and will have it ready for publication in the near future.

"Women Following Style Blindly"—Miss Meguiar Lawrence, styles - Women following clothing styles blindly, regardless of their figure or the fitness of the style for them, is an aband custom, according to Miss Elizabeth Meguari, assistant professor in charge of the shelter and clothing section of the home economics department of the University of Kentucky, wearing one standard dress for all women. It rather is her concern that her students learn right principles of dress and that they may know the proper costume for the individual and the occasion. "Let the individual determine what style of garment best becomes her, basing judgment upon right principles of art and beauty, keeping that style for her clothing through the seasons," says Miss Meguiar, "This system will not result in a single standard dress, but in a number of standard styles for the various types of garments." Variety can be secured by change of material and color as well as by change of garment to suit the occasion." Especially designed to the clothing designing students of the University of Kansas is the large Thayer collection of historic costumes which contain samples of garments worn by many nations through many periods.

Dr. Allen has arranged with the county sheriff, for sixty minutes a day, until the day, one hundred feet apart and at fifty feet from the fence. "It isn't fair to make some pay and then allow others to alip in," said Dr. Allen. The new fence built where the grandstand and west bleachers were, is only nine feet high, but Dr. Allen thinks he can keep the boys out by means of human "six foot poets," placed around the field.
