FOOTBALL PRACTICE NOT STOPPED BY RAIN
Four Full Teams of Varsity Material Trying Out for Places
FEW INJURIES THIS YEAR
Morale of Candidates Best in Many Years Say Coaches and Observers
A steady rain and a muddy field did not stop the Varsity football squad yesterday afternoon in their regular practice. The practice was somewhat hindered but as usual, having worked out a sudden afternoon work-out was held with added pep.
Four full teams of Varsity material were in evidence with plenty of pep, each trying to do his best to show the coaches that he deserved a tryout in the coming games. The training for the afternoon was largely taken up by tackling him running hand and field candle valleys, receiving and returning them while the line men were running them down.
The sound has been very fortunate so far this season in the number of injuries that have been received in prestine. So far no serious injuries have been encountered. Capt. Geo Netties is carrying a pailed face which he got a few days ago and it is expected that this minor injury will be entirely healed within a few days.
According to spectators the big outstanding feature of yesterday's practice was the fight that the candidates put into their work. The morale of this year's team is considerable coaches and staff of former champions of the best that has been shown in many years by candidates for the Varsity. Competition is great and every man is fighting like a mad man for a place on the team. It is this kind of spirit, according to votes of the team, is going to be the year this year's team one of the scrappiest teams that K. U. has ever turned out. The only drawback that is forecasted for this year's Varsity is its weight for it is conceded that this year's team will be out that has always turned out in the year. Coach Allen is expecting to offer this fact by developing speed.
Display Design Work Of Syracuse Student
Home Economics Classes May Sell Cookies Again
A collection of commercial design work is now on display in the galleries of the Department of Painting. The collection is one belonging to Miss Rose Ketcham, the new International department, and is the work of her students in Syracuse University. It consists of designs for printed silks, chinzes, creatones, and other materials, as well as designs for trays, borders, posters, and magazine covers. Although only a few of the primary uses and use of the materials outside visitors are welcomed, the exhibit will be changed from time to time.
The department of home economics is silent as regards their plans for the coming year. The unsettled condition always accompanying the beginning of the school year, accounts for the indefinite plans.
Rumors have been current to the effect that the department will make and sell cookies. When questioned as to the truth of this story, Miss Ora Webb instructor in the department, smiled and repeated her previous statement that she was undeclared as to her plans.

Methodist Women Adopt Foster Mother Movemen
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1920.
The women of the Methodist church have arranged a plan for making the Methodist women who are attending the University from other towns feel at home while in Lawrence. The plan resembles the "big sister" movement, each having been assigned four women from the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior to act as a faster, mother. A tea for these women will be given at the Methodist church on Oct. 2 from 3 to 4 o'clock.
MAKESURVEYS FOR OII
It is understood that the other hurches will follow the same plan.
Geological Students Do Work In Southern Korea
The workers of the state geological survey were sent out by the state last summer into the western section of Cowley county to obtain gas and oil reports. Chief among those was a team sent to a place near Arkansas City. E. R. ELLage, c18, and L. C. Hey, c21, composed the team.
Near Wintfield, at the School for the Foeble Minded, special surveys were made of the rock and most of the reports will be from that locality. After the maps are drawn and literature is in shape to print, a bulletin will be published on Oil and Gas reports.
This bulletin will be out the first of the year. About ten weeks were spent in gathering the material. The city commissioners of Arkansas City asked to have the work done, the State agreeing to pay the salaries of
T. S. Smith, c²¹, and Howard R. Cross, c²², worked in the neighborhood of Junction City, in Geary County, where it will not be made of Mets Indings.
DELAYS PAVING WORK
Concrete Road From Library to Green Hall, Lacks Material
Construction Work on the new concrete roadway extending from Spooner Library to the east end of Green Hall is progressing rather slowly. There are ten men at work on the job, but frequent rains and difficulty in procuring materials have delayed construction.
Even should weather conditions rejoin favorable, several weeks must elapse before the work nears completion. The supply of cement on hand practically is exhausted, and if new materials do not supply the required delay. The contract calls for approximately 2100 feet of concrete.
Although many of the cinder driveways on the hill are in need of repair, no more construction or repair work is planned this fall. The appropriations of the recent legislation require an update to provide for the work needed.
It is hoped that the next legislature will give an appropriation large enough to permit the construction of concrete roads throughout the entire University grounds. Such roads would be built with no intersections, is slight, whereas the present cinder roads require continual upkeep expenditure.
High School Teachers And Substitutes Needed
W. H. Johnson, secretary of the Appointment Committee on Teachers, announces that a number of teachers are needed in several Kansas high schools for immediate service. Any students who find work should inform in regard to these vacancies by calling at this office, he says.
Any students owning the following books will find a ready sale for them at the Book Exchange, as the demand for them is great. They are: Rolf's edition of Hamlet, Hunter's Psychology, and Homer's Odyssey.
The extension bureau also receives many requests for substitute teachers in science, English, history, and home economics. Graduate or advanced students who have time and would be willing to substitute in high schools for short periods are addressed at the office. Requests come not only from Lawrence schools but from the schools in nearby cities.

E. H. LINDLEY,
Chancellor
Set aside the 10:30 hour Friday morning, Chancellor Lindsey has named that hour for the next all-University Convocation in Robinson Gymnasium. The purpose of the event is to introduce the Student Organizations of the University and to discuss their interests as concerned in building up student spirit and to gain better unity among these organizations in improving the spirit of the entire student body.
The Men's Student Council, the W.S. G, A, the Y. M, C, A, and Y. W.C. A, cabinets will sit as bodies on the platform. Short talks will be made by the heads of these organizations and also by representatives of the various churches. The rest of the time will be devoted to athletic activities entirely. During this period Doctor Allen will tell about the value of athletics in relation to student organization among the students. George Nettels, captain of football, will also probably be called upon to "specify."
STUDENTS ON PLATFORM
BAND ON HAND, 700
These plans give prominence, to the three major divisions of student organization, and Religion, to the field of athletic endeavor and its importance in securing the best school spirit. The student government phase with its present possibilities will be discussed. Dr. Lindley will preside and comment on the speakers. Songs will be sung, some new ones, some old ones, and some new ones. Everything is arranged to make it the best convoitation yet held in old Robinson.

Jayhawk Freshman Reported Exiled
It is not alone in congested cities that mysterious disappearances occur; from our midst a freshman student has absolutely sunk from sight! Cheerful, no less vague than others of his class-happy, he was last seen in a first-year rhetoric class. No traces indicating foul play have, as yet, been discovered, but grave frogs for his welfare are entertained. Only a single cule to aid in solving the mystery, has been apparently written in cipher and liberally revised and adorned with red-inked numbers and queer symbols may throw some light on this dark affair.
This year they will also conduct a season ticket drive in the down town district and attempt to stimulate interest among the business men of Lawrence. The officers for this year are: Pres., Charles Nettles; Vice Pres., George Lynn; See., Don Blair; Treas., Greas, Bill Reinhart.
Some of his sympathizing and discerning friends hint that he may be found in one of those unmentionable underworlds—the sub-freshman rhetoric classes! It is to be hoped that no such answer to the baffling mystery will be forthcoming. Some time. And some time. And some time to time by the raucity. Now, personal safety can only be assured by your alertness for the agents of this underworld—the comma splice, "I seen," subjectless sentences and others not so famous in select circles if rhetoric cold. Freshmen, beware!

WORKERS ARE SCARCE
Was it the Kansas wheat crop? Either that or some equally good reason has caused a decrease in the number of students, both men and women who are working their way through school.
Fewer Students Working Wa Through School
"This decrease may be due to the fact that a number of the men whom we supplied with work last year are back again and have their duties resumed." Of perna-
"Up to the present time," said Harry M. Stewart, Associate-Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. this morning, "we have had 258 men applied for work. Last year there were 380 applicants. Of this 258 we have supplied 100 men with permanent positions and about 125 with partial-time work.
"We have had only about 50 women apply here for work up to this time. Last year this office supplied about 150 women with permanent and partial-time positions. I have more women who will do geotechnical work than I can supply wiht hipsothes; but on the other hand I have a number of calls for women to do general housework that have been unable to fill most of them.
next positions on of Tommas had "This same thing is true of the women," said Karthyn Gum, General Secretary of the Y. W. C. A.
This office has been quite successful this year in finding women the kind of work they want and although we only receive two hundred dollars from the State while K. S. A. C. receives five hundred dollars, we feel we are doing quite the same work without much assistance.
"We hope to receive more money next year and believe we are really entitled to more."
K. Book Adjudged Best Hand-Book in Kansas
"The K Book is the best hand book in the state in the judgment of the state committee," said Warren Cook, sey, vice-president of the Y. M. C. A, who has just returned from the meeting of the State Council, which all colleagues in Kansas, was held in Topeka last Sun, day.
This committee is composed of representatives from the eight larger schools of the state. They met to consider problems confronting the various schools. Mr. Cooksey is the representative for the University, elected at the Estes Park Conference last summer.
Story of Buffalo Hunt Written by Armstrong
"My First Buffalo Hunt" is the title of an account of early days on the Kansas plains, written by T. R. Armstrong, who is in Lawrence in Ohio and is very strong, accompanied by a young college friend from Kentucky, went on this hunt in 1874. Ten years later the two young men met and had their pictures taken. These pictures are kept on the book with the account of his experiences.
The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce has the exclusive right of publication for the football programs for this sea-son. No other publication will be sold on the football field.
The story is written in the same meter as "The Lady of the Lake," and is said to be interesting. The author wrote this book for the Sioux and Pawnee Indians and the book contains his story of that. Mr. Armstrong will read his story for whoever is interested enough to ask to hear it. The book also contains in it stories of other Native chiefs, among them Sitting Bull, Spotted Tail and Red Cloud.

Approval
Condemnation of the practice of students in giving dances as private enterprises was made last night at a meeting of the joint committee on student affairs from the Men's Student Council, the Women's Student Government Association, and faculty representatives. The joint committee by agreement authorized the authentication of the dance by the government student heads, pointing out the following section of the constitution of the Men's Student Council:
"The Associated Men of the University of Kansas are opposed to all graft, and the giving of dances for profit among the students of the Ui-
The committee also recommended that the joint student council, composed of the men's and women's governors councils, undertake the management of the Freshman Mixer, which will be held the first Saturday of every month. The mixer will be held in this month, according to the University calendar.
The calendar was approved, and the committee which fixed it during the summer was continued for the purpose of properly scheduling other events. The joint committee went on record as favoring all-University community party, such as was held last Saturday night, and in favor of making it an annual function in the summer. The committee committee desires any suggestions that may be made in regard to the entertainment be sent to them.
The next meeting of the joint committee will be hold next Monday afternoon, at 4:40 o'clock in Room 114, Fraser. Subjects for discussion will include enrollment at the University and some entertainment, and a relationship of student organizations to the University community."
MAY POST AIR SIGNALS
Movement Started to Use Fraser to Fly Flags for Avintors
The removal of the large crimson and blue Chancellor's Penant from the flagstaff on Fraser Hall has given birth to a movement to have a regulation United States air service banner placed on the staff for the convenience and guidance of both visiting aviators and local flayers.
The movement had its start in the suggestions of the exservice men of the University that it would be a good thing if they would leave the big banner up as a wind and field guide to their students. There is attention enough to indicate that such a guide may flow from Fraser Hall. The value of such signals lies that an avian may know at a glance two important facts: that there is a landing field within the radius of a mile, and the direction from whichever point it is no more suitable place in this section than top of Fraser Hall, the highest point in the country and central point o possible landing fields of this section.

Chanute Woman Gives Rare Specimens to School
Seven shipments of snakes and lizards from Eastland County, Texas, have been added to the Dyce Museum collection this summer. This addition includes three Diamond Back rattles, three Cochairfish snakes, and one Bird Skin, species entirely new to the previous collection.

Plain Tales From the Hill
Woman, speaking to a painting student; "I should think you'd get dreadfully mussy dobbing around with paints. Do you have a colored junior to clean up? I saw one leave the painting room awhile ago." Paint slinger: "Colored man, nothing. What you saw was a stude who'd just finished cleaning up around his last picture."
George Nettles, football captain, evidently is not known to all freshmen, for as he passed the Law building Tuesday at heat six of them stopped him and urged him to be present at the "Thundering Thousand" pop meeting held on McCook Field Tuesday afternoon.
"Take Psychology in Fine Arts building, Journalism in the Physics house, Physiology in Journalism structure, and Dramatic Art in Law Building! How's a feller Art t know, buh?"

"Miss Blank?" he read emphatically.
"The Mr. Blank or Miss Blank?"
he responded, "Yes."

"Do you remember the story of the London 'rowdies' in the trenches, who were questioned firs to whether they were Christians, to which they replied, No; and second, as to what qualities they admired in the man next to them? They answered, Honesty, courage and good cheer?" Those men, courage and good cheer, and for the man who admires them and stands for the is a Christian."

Enrollment in Languages Greater Except German
Enrollment in the department of languages exceeds the enrollment of the first semester of last year in all departments. The enrollment in German this year is sixty percent less than it was in pre-war days. This department has been obliged to drop several classes because Miss Corp. went back to the office of Advisor Mrs.
Enrollment in Spanish classes greatly exceeds the enrollment at this time last year, or any previous years. The enrolment passed the previous high mark several days ago when it reached seven hundred. The drop cannot be because there are many new enrollments each day.
