TALK WITH GOVERNOR
ABOUT TEACHER GRAB
Board Says Other States Raiding Kansas Schools and Offering More Money
Topkea, Sept. 13—Members of the State Board of Administration convened with Governor Allen today over the dangers of losing a number of valuable instructors from the State University at Lawrence and the Agricultural College at Manhattan.
It had been reported to the board that other states are raiding Kansas institutions in an effort to get instructors, and in some cases, are offering teachers as much as $1,000 a year more than Kansas is paying them. Montana is among the states said to be seeking Kansas teachers. The great east demand is for agricultural teachers, it is said.
W. S. G. A. Plans Teas For Freshman Women
Tea will be served Tuesday and Wednesday from 10:30 to 12 o'clock and from 2:30 to 5 o'clock in Room 116, Fraser Hall by the Women's Student Government Association. Comfortable chairs will be provided.
"Although these teas are for everyone in the university," said Helen Olsen, president of W.S.G.A., "they are essentially for the freshmen women to become acquainted with one another. After enrollment and registration they can come over to the Rest Room, where every attempt will be made to make them congenial."
New Chancellor is Lauded For Work as an Educator
When a man who has watched the career of Dr. Ernest H. Lindley since his college days was asked to name the most striking characteristic of the new chancellor of the University of Kansas, he repaid gift cards with respect and affair." That is the way they speak of him in Indiana where his fine work as a teacher in the university of that state, and as head of its department of philosophy and psychology did not by any means measure it. That is what they say of him throughout the Northwest where as president of the University of Idaho, he achieved noteworthy success in developing that institution and, far from being the most constructive influence into the cities and towns of Washington and Oregon and into all the industrial and social groups in that part of the country. A thorough scholar, a stimulating teacher, a progressive adminstrative worker in affairs and business in all the concerns of enlightened citizenship.
LECTURES TO BUSINESS MEN
Go back four years and to Portland, Oregon. And since it happens to be Friday, visit the Lincoln high school building about 7:30 o'clock in the evening and push you way through the crowd into the large auditorium. The room is filled with businessmen as many as can get into the largest available hall in Portland. They are patiently waiting for eight o'clock. Must be a pretty lively show to attract two thousand tired business men into a hall a half hour ahead of time! Yes, a college professor is going to give a lecture but is not his first lecture in that city. There were not so many people at the first. It is one of a series running through the winter. The subject is psychology in relation to commerce and industries. And President Wendell Flood was asked to a friend: "Doctor Linder has taken Portland by storm. We have had about twenty-five invitations for him to speak, more than he could accept." That was the winter in which Doctor Linder, on leave of absence from his work in the University of Indiana, was visiting the Washington State College. Incidentally, it was that visited to the Northwest that led to his accepting a call, the following year, to the presidency
of the University of Idaho.
PRESIDENT IS "JUST FOLKS"
Or again, drop into the smoking compartment of a Pullman out of Spokane. It is well known that the smoking compartment test reveals the true attitude of men to other men. In this instance the attitude is clear; it is brisk, through soiable clouds of tobacco smoke. A tall, erect, spare man, well dressed, has just come in. His face arrests attention. It is the sort of face that people describe as strong yet kindly, serious and caring. The character of which are the lines and character of which is manifest a rare collaboration of mind and heart in the business of modeling and delineation. The man offers a remark on the subject before the meeting, then offers to help him work in the number industry. His remark provokes a question. Soon he is leading the discussion.
In the course of the afternoon, the talk turns to politics, labor questions, religion. He is at home in them all. When the more personal questions come up as to the occupations of those present, and the usual guessing context is started, they all miss it on the tail man, because they have not heard the president who was of commanding personality and yet "just folks." And an editor who was in the crowd went home and wrote a story about the incident that travelled all around the Northwest. "Doctor Lindley is a leader wherever he happens to be," was the word of it all.

UNDERSTANDS LABOR PROBLEM
Or step into a large convention of mine employers, held during some of our visits to war when the next step shed had not always clear to men in the great industries any more than to other men. Sense the tenseness in the atmosphere. Note the obvious drift of things towards action that may mean conflict, when it comes to the hour. Then listen to the man who has just been called on to speak. His words are weighted with judicial fairness. He puts the case tactfully but not minutely. In the timelife of his reconant voice is that quality of unshakable courteousness. In this case, agreement. Strange that he, a college president, should have been called into that meeting But Doctor Lindley is a man o
Plain Tales From the Hill
Lardy Ringer, last year's so-called conedian in the Kansas has returned to school, but it is with great glee that we announce that he will not write any more of his painful series of sporting news.
And when Geraldina and Hesekiah conversed, the latter told his beloved of some baskets of apples he had seen, then these three around the an
The parapupa pups and social hoppers are exerting their influence with the motion picture show owners in Lawrance to change their program every day so that they will be able to attend a performance every afternoon and evening without seeing any one picture twice.
"Were these bows around the apple baskets?" queried Geraldina.
"For shame! Of course not! Beaux are only around peaches."
Constant reader is hereby informed that wedding announcements, which belong in this column, have been printed and are being printed in the society column.
Egyptian cigarettes! Turkish cigarettes! But the ones passed around at the fraternity houses this week are "Russian" cigarettes.
This column refrains from listing the biggest jokes of the year—the money bright studies are claiming to have earned during the summer.
DOWN TO HER OWN PLANE
Although Lucille Cleveland is Plain
Tales editor this week, she has 'not
yet began her duties. Possibly, this is
because she is averse to being con-
nected with anything "plain."
Rainy Weather Prevents Joyrides on Oread Ave
The impassable condition of Oread avenue from the entrance to the campus at Thirteenth street to Frasar Hall is due to the rainy weather of the last thirty days, according to John M. Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds. The roads are being cut down in preparation to the placement of a 28-foot concrete paving, from the entrance to the crossing in front of Green Hall.
The heavy rains beginning some four weeks ago, however, delayed the work of excavating, and completely prevented the authorities from setting up these large groups to work on the project. Work is progressing slowly now but when the weather dries up, Mr. Shea says, a large force of men will be put on the job for several days, and ready for the Hill joyriders inside of twenty days.
FIVE CO-OP HOUSES USED BY WOMEN NOW
Hill Organizations and Citizens Help Students to Lower Living Expenses
Because of the success of the two co-operative houses opened last year to accommodate university women, three additional houses have been opened this year at the request of the women. The houses are located at 1122 Ohio Street, 1131 Ohio Street, 1200 Tennessee Street, and 1201 Louisiana Street. Campus Cottage on the west slope of the campus, will be re-opened. The houses will accommodate from nine to twenty women each. The house management is placed in charge of those who share the responsibilities placed upon them Household expenses last year averaged twenty-three dollars for each student. This was from thirty to fifty per cent less than the cost in other houses.
The Lakota House at 1122 Ohio Street was purchased for the women this summer by the Alumni Association. The Association paid $1,000 on the purchase price; the women are to complete the payments; the men are to pay $1,500 of economies bought the house at 1131 Ohio Street, and H. E. Don Carlsen bought and furnished the house at 1200 Tennessee Street. These two houses have been rented to the woman. The house at 1213 Louisiana Street. Mrs. Catherine Burnett. Campus Cottage is owned by the University.
Various organizations have contributed to the furnishing of the houses. Among these are the Womens Student Government Association Women's Panhellenic, the association of University Women, Association of Collegiate Alumnae (Lawrence and Topeka branches), Lawrence Federation of Women's Clubs, and several individuals.
Recently appointed chaperons for the houses include Mrs. Catherine Burnett, Miss Doris Gleibrich, and Miss Sarah Krause. All rest of the houses have not been made
Van, the Animal Man, is authority for the statement that Kansas is going to have a great football year. He said, "I will not all," the way he terly put it.
Dr. H, P. Cady, Dr. R, Q. Brewater and Dr. H, C. Allen, all of the chemistry department, arrived in Lawrence last week after spending the summer with his family on a trip in his automobile and toured in Oregon and Washington, also.
Financial Campaign is Awaited For Start of Gigantic Project
New Structure Will Seat 34,340. House Two Football Fields and Provide all Latest Improvementst Toward Better College Athletics
PAMPHLET WILL BE DISTRIBUTED
InformationR egarding Erection of Huge Horshoe Will Be Sent Out at Intervals to Interest People Throughout the State
commonicated:
The playing field will be large enough, according to the plans,
to put two football fields within the bleachers. The structure will
face north and south.
Complete plans for the new Stadium—the goal of the Kansas athletic management, the hope of the student body and the vision of the University's alumni—have been made. The new athletic structure will be located on the present site of McCook and Hamilton Fields.
Hamilton KR The pans, include seating capacity for 34,340 ordinarily and in an emergency the temporary bleachers on the open end of the horse-shoe can be brought up and an additional 6,000 can be accommodated.
WILL RAZE WEST END BLEACHERS THIS YEAR
Athletic Management Will Use Lumber to Repair North and South Seats
McCook Field bleachers will be transformed soon from a three-aided horseshoe affair into a two-sided bleachers. This was the announcement Monday of Dr. F, C. Allen, director of athletics and coach of foot
The west bleachers, sodden and rotten will be torn down. What good lumber there is left in that part of the structure will be used to repair the roof or the sidewall so as to use its footboards for 2,000 seats to be erected on the cinder truck.
Payments Non Compulsory But Are Used To Further Women's Interests
W. S. G. A. DUES TODAY
Engineer's estimates show that the north and south beachers, with reinforcements will be unable to hold the load of the big homecoming game with Nebraska. Ames will also draw a big crowd, as will Drake, so it was thought that he would pack the track for the accommodation and safety of the "football bugs" that come to Lawrence to see the Jayhawk fight off invaders. This, of course, will stop track practice in the fall to a considerable extent so it was found necessary to move the board track, not the fence. Building to fifteen Field. This move will allow track men to work all winter on the boards. The track is an exact replica of the Convention Hall track, where Kansas meets Missouri in the indoor track season and where the K. C. A. C. invitation meet is held at the dinon on McCook field, the athletic management is making the best of the facilities at their command.
Membership tags to the Women's Student Government Association will be sold at the Gymnasium during enrollment tomorrow. Every woman automatically becomes a member of W. S. G. A. on entering the University and the dues are not compulsory. These dues are used to promote movements for the good of women in U.S. colleges. These proceeds have been used for co-operative houses and scholarships of the women of the University.
According to Helen Olsen, president of W. S. G. A., the council is anxious that every woman student will feel herself to be an abstrait memoirist, and that she directly support the best interests of the University.
Chemistry In $^{1}$*structors* Return Doctor Dains and Doctor Ellex of the department of Chemistry, returned Monday morning from the American Chemical Society's annual convention. Doctor Dains read a paper.
Each section will have a separate entrance. This will remedy the congestion of former years at the one or two entrances. The plans include an entry ramp and a quarter mile with only one turn. Underneath the bleachers, field offices of the coaches, rubbing rooms, 200 lockers for the Varsity and 200 for varsity track. All outdoor trakcies for indoor trace practice, is being planned for.
During the summer, Dr. F. C. Allen has been working hard on the stadium plans. He employed, at the beginning of the summer, Prof. F. L. Brown of the School of Engineering and Laforce Bailey of the architectural department to make the plans for the new athletics field. Ms. Brown many plants during the summer months. A ground plan was first made and then a prospectus show just how the structure would look when completed with the surroundings drawn. Some of the minutest details have been worked out. A six or to eight foot promade on top of the wall surrounding the bleachers, a press box, an entrance, two flag one for the Crimson and Blue and one for the opposing team, are all included.
COMPLETED IN 1921
The plans call for the completion of the structure in time for the Missouri game in 1921. Students-who are graduating this year will be able to come back to their first Missouri game and see the new stadium.
Little things, like the amount of clearance between eyes while sitting on the bleachers, has been worked out. The Kansas structure will have "seeing space" of five inches. By this means that those sitting in the bleacher seat behind you must obey above your head, thus no hat will obstruct the view, and neither will the man in front be kept from seeing the game.
The seats are the only things that will not be made of enforced concrete. They will have a plank "cushion." This, of course, will not impair the health of the spectators. Everything for the comfort and coimmunity of the spectators is being considered by the management.
GET OUT PUBLICATION
This week "The Stadium," Volume 1, Number 1, is being issued by the Kansas Athletic management. It contains cuts, statements of the needs of the University from the point of view of alumni, students, faculty and the Governor. The publication is a sixteen-page pamphlet and will be distributed free of charge that they will send them to influential friends, alumni of the school, or to parents. It is the first attempt of the athletic department to get the people of the state interested in the stadium project in a direct way.
The financing of the project, Dr. Allen says, is not worrying him. "The need is the appeal," he thinks and university committees are now working to fund a gigantic financial campaign to raise $500,000, the probable cost of the stadium.
