THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
LAWRENCE STRIVES TO HOUSE STUDENTS
New Student Homes Opened to Handle Expected Record Enrollment

WOMEN'S ROOMS SCARCE
The problem of housing the expected record enrollment at the University this year has been vexing the civic organizations for the entire summer months. Ways and means of meeting the shortage of rooms have been suggested from various clubs and individuals of the university, a result which has been a house-to-house carcass for the desired rooms.
Lawrence men, members of the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs together with a committee from the Chamber of Commerce made canvass. They discovered some two hundred rooms. Today students are tramping the streets of Lawrence in search of a rooftree. The rooms obtained have all been taken or have vanished into thin air.

Room 40 women are more scarecie. Many women have taken rooms as far as the street in New York street. The Chamber of Commerce housing committee say that no student will be forced to return to his home without finding a room. A movement was on foot last week to secure national guard equipment, the gymnasium and a temporary dorm for men. No suggestions have been offered as to how to remedy the shortage of rooms for women. Co-operative houses seem to be the most feasible plan, the housing committee says, to solve the lem of women's needs in the Early Market in meeting in the city hall went on record as favoring the formation of a housing corporation to obtain and equip fifteen houses for fifteen girls in each house. The proposition of securing a corporation which under the supervision of five cooperative houses resulted,however, from the suggestion. These will take care of seventy-five women
MANY NEW OPENS HOMEED Students arriving in Lawrence late are finding difficulty in locating the library especially are the new students having trouble. University authorities have been ca-operating with the down-town authorities in an effort to alleviate the shortage, but still
Many homes in Lawrence are being thrown open to students that have never before been used by students. A few cases where a body of students all from the same locality have rented vacant houses have been reported to them. Other students who have to a certain extent, they think, but there are few empty houses in the city that can be rented.
The only salvation, in the way of solving the problem this year, according to University authorities, seems to be for more students to get doors to student roomers. Realization by responsible people of the town, that the city cannot fail the University at this period of its development may cause houses to be opened for students that have moved out. If this is the case, University authorities say they will see to it that homes opened for accommodation to students will not be misdirected by the roomers. The fact that students "tear up the house" has made many people invite them to occupy rooms.

Snappy 32-Page
Issue
SOUR OWL FLIES OUT
The first Sour Owl of the season swooped down on the campus this morning in the form of a 32-piece issue of the humorous magazine, full of snappy illustrations and editorial matter. The magazine was gotten up and issued by members of the art community here during the summer. It is the official organ of the Owls, junior honorary society.
More short original matter than ever before appears in this issue of the magazine, and the lengthier articles are up to the usual standard. Chief of these is a burlesged interview with a movie "vampire." Another exceptional feature is more than a column of "advice," always in order at this time of year, but it is not "only" an article. It is rumored that this was written by a woman, but those who have read the magazine declare much of the material must have been furnished by a man.
The editors, dealing with live University affairs of the day, are handed in Owlie's usual fearless manner. Some poetry also appears in the magazine. Practically everything in the magazine has some wit, but most of its various problems, and is in its entirety very well gotten up.
The cover of this number is the most striking that has appeared on a Sou Owl for some time. It depicts a crimson owl on a blue field with black lettering, while the smoke from a dying cigarette drifts upwards. It was drawn by an artist not in school.
The magazine is being sold by the juniors who will be in the Owl society this year. Future editions of the Sour Owl, of which there probably will be one, will be edited by a board to be selected from among the new Owls.

"Where am I?" he said feebly. "Where am I, in heaven?"
"No, dear," coooed his devoted wife, "I am still with you."
