Employment Bureau Has More Jobs Than Men
The Employment Bureau of the University Y. M. C. A. has more jobs than it has men for, according to McHenry, secretary of the bureau.
So serious has the condition grown that McHenry is advising people wanting help to call his office three days a week. "I'm sure she's sure a man on the job when wanted."
There are many men on the Hill, however, wanting jobs whose phone numbers are lacking to McHenry. "If these men give me their addresses and phone numbers I will be able to care for them," said McHenry this morning in the office," said McHenry this morning.
"There are lots of good jobs still open."
The secretary is preparing his October report. It will show that many jobs have been given the men wanting them.
Many Candidates Report For Basketball Practice
The basketball turnout last night was the largest of the season. Twenty-two men were out for the Varsity with a larger number of freshmen. In accordance with the new ruling made by the University Senate the men were lined up and the roll called. Hardly half of the class was present.
There were three Varsity-freshman scrimmages. In the first one the regulars dubbed the freshmen 23 to 9. Captain Uhrlaub did the best work at goal tossing, having seven field goals and one free throw to his credit. Bennett for the freshmen played an especially good game.
Ex-Austrian Officer To Speak In Fraser On America's War Task
To Illustrate Remarks With Pictures of Bursting Shells and Colliding Aeroplanes
Baron Dr. William De Orgler, for eleven years a member of the diplomatic corps of the Austrian government arrived at the University this morning and is scheduled for an illustrated address tomorrow night in Fraser chapel. Baron Orgler, at the outbreak of the present war, was a Dragon ooons but was wounded early in the conflict and was discharged.
Baron Orgler came to this country two years ago and since the United States has entered the war has devoted his energies to speech-making, teaching, mentoring officers and Liberty Bond issues. He came here from Kansas City.
The Austrian, an interesting personality with striking characteristics, has a roll of films to show with his lecture which he brought with him from Austria wrapped around his body.
These vivid reproductions of the actual battlefield, Baron Orgler says, show shells bursting before the camera and portray a collision between two enemy airplanes besides many scenes depicting the horrors of war.
Directories Unimportant Believes State Printer
Registrar Foster Will Make Final Attempt to Get Books This Week
"It looks as though we will have no student directory this year," said Registrar George O. Foster this morning. "The State Printer has practically refused to print them as documents, not think they are important."
Mr. Foster will make a trip to Topeka this week and present the copy in person in a final attempt to get the directories printed.
If the State Printer finally refuses to print the directories, nothing more can be done to supply them as a university will be unable to print them.
"It would be a risky attempt," said Mr. Foster, "for any student organization to undertake to print them. Besides they would have to be sold at such a price that students could not buy them."
Several changes necessitated by the compulsory exercise ruling have been made in the time of meetings of the School of Religion and of the lectures by Dr. M. A. Schwegler and others to Y. M. C. A. A. and Y. W. C. A. members The Schwegler lectures have been changed from Wednesday afternoons at 4:30 o'clock to Thursday night from 7:15 to 8:15 o'clock. The School of Religion meetings have been delivered by Doctor Schwegler. The address this Thursday will be: "What Is Faith?" The School of Religion meetings have been changed from Thursday at 7 o'clock to Wednesday night, 7 to 8 o'clock. Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Cabinet meetings will be held after the Schwegler meetings.

Biggest Rally Of Year Scheduled For Friday Night Before Big Game
Rusty Friend Busy With Plans For Monster Send-off For Team
Olcott To Make Last Talk
Band Will Be Out To Help Put Pep Into Meeting Speechs
Rally! Rally! Everybody out!
Cheerleader Rusty Friend is planning the biggest rally held thus far this year for Friday night, just before the Jayhawkers leave for Aggieville to meet the Kansas Farmers. Reports from Manhattan say the watchword of the Aggie students and their teacher Kaiden has four touchdowns!" If reports are true that has been the slogan up there ever since the opening of the football season.
"When our team is to meet a rival with this spirit," said Friend this morning, "they must have the support of the entire student body, and I would be pleased to see both men and women both to be out at Fraser Chapel Friday night at 7:15 o'clock."
Mac McCaniles will be there with his band to furnish the music and there will be pep talks by Ulele Jimmy Green, Manager W. O. H. Hamilton, Coach Beau Olcott, Captain Sweede the art course an effort will be made to get a number of old-time followers of the game at the University to make talks.
The rally will be over by 8 o'clock, and those who have dates may go to the rally before making their calls. Friend is urging those with early dates to bring their dates with them to the rally.
He is trying to get every possible rooter who can go to make the trip to Manhattan and be in the Kansas rooters' section when the game is beginning at 8:30 o'clock Saturday morning and starting back at 8 o'clock that night will carry the Kansas team and rooters. The round trip tickets will cost only $3.50, and already several rooters, rootters have signed up for the trin.
"That plenty of K. U. rooters be or hand at the game is absolutely necessary," said Friend in speaking of the game, "for the Aggies are getting stronger every year, and they point their team for the Kansas game just as the Jayhawkers point for the Missouri game. Last year," he concludes, "they are better, tie, and since taking a game from Missouri they believe they are strong enough to romp across the Kansas goal line for a victory.
"The Kansas team is doing its share, and is working the hardest it has in years, and I want the Kansas rooters to be out to the rally to prove themselves as loyal to their team as the Aggie students are to theirs. Let them remember that four touchdowns to nothing."
Kansan Board will meet tonight at 7 o'clock. Important.
Owls meet tonight, 8:30 o'clock Phi Bla house. Be there by order of President R. Hemphill.
Sincerely—
The Campus News A Half Hour Earlier-
DUE to the new schedule of classes, by which all classes convene one half hour earlier, the UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN is able to forward its time for going to press, thirty minutes.
Oct. 30,1917.
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN.
Or in other words, the DAILY KANSAN, begins to take its printed form at 2:45 instead of 3:15, and its subscribers in Lawrence receive the campus news a half hour earlier. It is thought that this small saving of time will not only be of convenience to our readers in receiving the news a little earlier, but that it will also insure greater accuracy among DAILY KANSAN carriers by allowing them "more daylight" by which to distribute papers.

A favorite indoor sport about eleven o'clock every night. Speaking to someone who has an alarm clock. "Listen, will you lend me my alarm clock? Yes, I'll be sure to wake up in time and I call you, too. You know, I never will be able to get up at 6:30 unless I have an alarm clock."
This morning after the 6:30 whistle had sent his shrill unwelcome blast over the slumbering college town a peekable little bugle call was heard somewhere around the Pi Kappa Alpha house. A freshman is compelled to ask of this warm bell every morning to arouse the rest of the household.
Prof. F. H. Blackmar, dean of the Graduate School, will go to Republic County tomorrow to lecture on "Food Conservation."
Workmen have been busy the last few days laying about 150 feet of 6-8 inch drain tile to connect with the down-spout from the west side of the fan house. The fan house which controls the ventilating system of Blake Hall will be moved against the west end of the building. The old system has never been entirely satisfactory, and the new system is necessary the laying of new drain pipe.
Edward Schoenfeld, e'18, and John D. Shreve, e'18, will go to Mayfield, Kans., this week to work on transmission lines there.
A new word has appeared in the student vocabulary. A shop, called "Albee" is responsible. It's a place where they sell everything. So now we have shops that buy coats for men what he has been doing he is apt to称 "Alabe."
"To be real patriotic," says Pants Murphy at the beginning of the cold weather, "save leather for the soldiers." Consequently he is wearing a pair of white cotton gloves. According to Pants cotton gloves are not only more economical but are much warmer than tight fitting kid shoes. To be especially useful looking ahead if your overcoat happens to be one of the new shapely styles but comfort and duty must be considered before appearance.
A box of pomegranates was sent to Daddy Westfall by Josie Trinkle, A.B.17. Miss Trinkle was a student in the department of journalism.
Speaking of fortunate circumstances a certain man took his date for a stroll in the moonlight on the Hill last night and met all the members of the women's student council. He asked them to look at him. And he had to stand by looking on while one of the members entered the date in her notebook.
"I fear," said Professor Dykstra to the student who is always late, "that unless you improve you will soon be known as the late Mr. Brown."
Many Lawrence People Hear Fine Arts Recital
The towns-people of Lawrence appreciate good music. At last night's recital given by the music students of the School of Fine Arts, a large part of the school was non-University folks. They came in search of good music. They found it.
Arthur Nevin's "Bridal Song" was played as a harp solo by Miss Bell. There were only two vocal numbers instead of three as indicated on the program. Orlo Holmes sang "The Lord is my Strength" and Prof. W. B. Downing and Dora Helmick sang "Rose of My Heart" as a duet.
There were nine selections on the program and all of them were worthy of special mention. The harp-violin piano trio made up of Dorothy Bell, Ednah Hopkins, and Helen Cook gave two particularly interesting numbers, "Priere" by Frankck and "Meditazione Reliioso" by Soders.
Immediate Need of More Exercise for Women Is Emphasized At Meeting
Dr. Eleanor Sherbon Says Argument to Contrary Is Erroneous
Have New Responsibilities
War Has Opened New Field of Activity That Women Must Prepare For
"The argument that there is no immediate need for the women to turn their attention to intensive physical education is not valid," Dr. Eleanor Sherbon said at the women's mass meeting called to discuss the new senate ruling on physical education for women.
"The draft law is indirectly responsible for the change in the system here. The number of young men with a college education who were unable to pass the physical examination was appalling. It turned the attention of American people to the fact that education had been caring for everything but the physical side of a student's welfare.
NEW RESPONSIBILITIES FOR WOMEN
NEW RESPONSIBILITIES FOR WOMEN
"A sound physical basis is necessary for the greatest mental efficiency and that the students of cent of students have not had. This condition holds at the University as well as at other schools.
"It is true that intensive physical education for men is immediately necessary because they will be needed for military service. But after they go new responsibilities are going to require them more of the needed to fight battles, but an army of women who are physically efficient will be needed behind the lines.
COMMITTEE WILL BE LENIENT
WELL BEHELMENT
"This change will college women and I believe to accept it here as well as other places with as much of a spirit of adventure and joy as their brothers are accepting the great adventure.
"The department of physical education intends to be reasonable about this and fit the work to the problems of the students when the problems are discovered. However, 700 college women have told me that there is no reason on earth why they shouldn't take an hour of exercise every day."
MANY SPEAK OF NEW PLAN
W. O. Hamilton stressed the fact that college women were unaware of their physical condition and didn't realize the necessity for exercise. "When a college student admits that she must spend all of her time in the library and has no time for exercise, that is sufficient proof that her work is too heavy and her health will suffer. The change in program will mean inconvenience for someone else in the department will add or to make things as easy as possible. After the experiment has been tried I think it will be recognized as the greatest advance the University has ever made.
Marion Joseph, member of the student council, spoke in favor of the new plan. She urged the women to put aside all personal considerations and support the Senate in the plan which it had devised for this emergency. "The objection that the new plan will cause personal inconvenience seems to be essentially selfish," she said.
VOTE TO KILL PLANS
Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women, urged the women to make their protest against the new rule after it had been put in operation. The protest should be made from experience rather than prejudice.
A motion that a petition asking the senate to defer putting the plan into operation until the second semester was defeated 220 to 126. A second motion, that a petition be circulated asking the senate to reduce the exercise from five to three hours the week, was passed.
Prof. Humble Speaks Before Lawrence Club
Prof. H, W. Humble will repeat his address on "Mr. Britling Sees It Through" before the Lawrence Literary Club this afternoon. Professor Humble takes issue with Mr. Wells in his treatment of the subject.
"All my tears are for the English boy who fell," said Professor Humble. "I have none left over, as Mr. Brilling had, for a German tutor who fell fighting for Germany. Mr. Wells' tendency to put British and Germans in the same boat caused me to leave Mr. Brilling brittling with rage."
Because of the military drill regulations, the Chemical Club will meet at 7:15 Wednesday, October 31. Topic for discussion will be "Plotting of an Explosive Bomb." The meeting will be open after the meeting for those who wish to use it.
