UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Cross Country Team Makes Good Showing Despite Muddy Roads First Race Will be With Manhattan Before Kansas-Aggie Game Saturday In spite of the muddy condition of the country roads, the time made by the K. U. runners in the tryouts for the cross country team, Saturday afternoon before the Ames game, was good. The men covered the regular five-mile course in thirty minutes and the roadside track in two hours. For the tryouts were about two minutes better but the roads were in good condition. McCall and Coach Rodkey crossed the line together. Deewall was the third runner to finish. Buffington came in fourth, Hanna fifth, and Brown sixth. Four of the men to make the team have had cross country work previous to this season, but all are new at Varsity running. Buffington is the oldest man on the sound. The men are working hard this week to get into condition for the first cross country which will be held against the Manhattan Aggies at Manhattan just before the Kansas-Aggie game next Saturday afternoon. K. U. won easily from Manhattan last year. There should be a great addition to the already increasing squad of distance runners on account of many students who probably will take the cross country work instead of military drill. The present plan is to have the men run nine miles a week and come out at least five days a week. The work will take about thirty to forty minutes daily. All men taking cross country for their daily exercise will report at the track room of Robinson Gymnasium and check up on the time card. (Continued from page 1) adapt the present students' program to this new movement. No student will be compelled to do additional work where their health needs are now being sufficiently supplied. In many instances it will doubtless be found that provisions must be made to reduce the amount of physical activity of students. No war organization of students is interfaced with behavior on the other hand we expect to aid all organizations such as the Red Cross, etc., by delegating students to such work. Students may have their choice in this matter. We feel certain that no one in the University will object to our plans as soon as they are understood. We feel that both the faculty and students will get behind this movement. Our educational education will reach its true ideal. Calls Women Students For Basketball Today The department plans to schedule four periods of work each week. One period per week for freshmen will be devoted to hygiene. We are especially interested in teaching them some familiar with all the principles of both personal and public hygiene. Class Miss Pratt Plans to Have Two Teams From Each Coach Hazel Pratt has issued the first call for basketball women of the University. All freshman women who intend to play basketball should report at 4:45 o'clock a afternoon in Johnson Gymnasium for first practice. The sophomores, juniors and seniors are scheduled to report at 4:45 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Every woman in the University who intends to come out for basketball this year is required to coach to report for the first practices. Miss Pratt said last night she expected an exceptionally large number of women athletes to come out, as basketball is one of the major sports for women, and draws more heavily than any other sport here. The plan this year is to have two or three different teams in each of the four classes and then hold an interclass tournament for the four winning teams representing the four differing classes. The class looms up as this year's winner, although there is some good material in the other classes. SPORT BEAMS One of the most pleasing things about the game Saturday was the fact that every player on the team fought from the opening whistle until the final blast. If the men continue to get into the game and fight as they sit against Ames Kansas will have them up against the far famed Cornelius elewer. The next game on the Kansas schedule is with the Kansas Aggies at Manhattan. All sorts of bear stories have been coming out of the Aggie camp about how the Aggies were going to eat. Jayhawk meat. Kansas has not much to say about the great showing she is going to make in the game but it is a safe bet the Aggies will meet their conquerors next Saturday if Kansas fights as she did against Ames. Captain Swede Nielsen was Kansas was going to wreck the Aggie backfield, just to show the Aggies there are other teams in the valley that can play a little football too. They're playing on the field, and they are going to put up one of the hardest fights of the season but there is a Waterloo for all boastful teams. Kansas is not boasting of a large victory over the Aggies, but one thing is certain and that is that every Kansas player is going to fight every minute of the battle. The team will develop. Much more hard work must be done before she has a perfected machine. Robinson Gymnasium Filled With Dancers at All University Party Annual Halloween Party Giver By Mrs. Brown Was Great Success Cosmopolitan—that's the best descrip tion of the crowd at the all-university party Saturday night, in Robinson Gymnasium. There were sailors, soldiers, gentlemen in dress suits, men in a mixture of dress suits and red neckties, men in leather jackets, hikes, and men ready to husk corn. There were ladies in aprons, middies, Peter Thomas dresses, evening gowns and other dresses whose names are known to the mere masculine mind. A good time—that's what everyone had. Even the lady whose feet were stepped on enjoyed the evening. The music and decorations and entertainment about it lasted about 200 couples were on the floor for the first part of the program. The program started with the minstrel show in the theater down stairs. On the receiving line were Mrs. Euset Brown, Burney Miller, Chancellor and Mrs. Frank Strong, the presidents of the classes and schools, the presidents of the Men's Student Council and the W. S. G. A. At 9 o'clock the grand march started. Those dancing the Moon dance were Nellie Gunn, Edna Rising, Isabel Crandall, Florence Carlgirn, Floyd Ross, Willey Hawkins, Lale Andrews and George McIntire. In the Fairy dance were Betty Stimpson, Jane Griffith, Mary Louise March and Helen Clark. Decorations were furnished through the courtesy of Diek Wagstaff, a former member of the company. Swimming to music is the latest among the women at the University of Texas. The music comes from a dance hall in Austin as much fun as dancing. A series of convocations to familiarize the students with national and state songs will be held this year at the University of Nebraska. University of Nebraska students are given an opportunity every other Tuesday night to see the craters in the moon, the observatory being open at that time to anyone wishing to observe the various planets. Nineteen men from the 1917 class of Colgate University have been elected to the national honorary fraternity, Phi Beta Kappa. Freshman women at McGill University are required to wear a green button, and to add insult to insult. Women from women of the sophomore class. Shopping in German was the interesting entertainment of Der Deutsche Verein at their regular meeting at Washburn University last week. Thayer Collection Open Soon The Thayer art collection will be open to the public as soon as the rooms on the third floor of the Administration are in condition to house it. Wooden partitions are to be built in front of each stairway, as a product of the restoration. It except on Saturday, because the noise disturbs the departments downstairs. The collection is ready and the showcases have arrived, having been sent from the state capital for the purpose. Professor Griffith cannot say how soon the partitions will be finished. Thayer Collection Open Soon The Graduate School will meet next Wednesday night at 7 o'clock in Myers Hall, Dean F. W. Blackman work on Social Aspects of the Present War." Psychological Exam Proves Near Terror To Kansan Reporter She had always heard of "Newspaper Work" and at last she was to have her chance—she was a Kansan reporter and they had assigned her to go over to the basement of the "Ad" building. Iron Nerve Withstands Glare of Professor To Weigh Students' Thoughts "Get a story about the psychological examination of students," said the grim-faced city editor, scarcely glancing in her direction. Of course, that meant venturing into a laboratory where experiments were going on. She knew that psychology was something about the highest point of consciousness. At the laboratory, she received a senior say that the night before. Well, as with trembling hands clutching a notebook and heavy lead pencil she stole in the direction of the Sig Al fchateau, few were the persons she met who did not remark how nale Hyvatia looked. The door of the "Ad" building was opened by the might of a military-trained lad. She entered, thanking the astonished youth who wondered why one so young should have such a bored look in her eyes. The corridor was long; did one go in room number 1, 3, 5 or 7, in order to get an interview with someone who asked me what number? She ventured mildly in number 3. Down the iron and cement steps she trod. "I'm very glad to see you," said professor Dockeray, "come right in; you are from the Kansan? I'm glad o have the opportunity to correct some of the numerous errors that have appeared in your naper." He told her that every student should know his mental condition as well as his physical statis (at least she thought this was the word.) and that since students went over and took physical examinations, they would come to the basement of the "Ad" building and take a mental examination. He then went on to explain to the naiden about the tests. He glared uriously at her, but would she be a lacker, leave the fierce man without setting the stuff for her story? She it her lips and listened. These tests have been used at Lea and Stanford with much success. If you pass them, you are a superior human being, if you fail, the tests are unfair. Examinations are made by appointment. Y. M. Finance Campaign Begins With Banquet Tuesday of Next Week Members of Promotion Force Asked to Report at Y. M. Office Tomorrow "The campaign for funds to carry on the work of the Y. M. begins one week from tomorrow night," said Hugo Wedell, general secretary of the Y. M. this morning, correcting the misunderstanding as to the date of the beginning of the Y. M. finance campaign. "I wish all the men of the promotion force, who have been informed by their captains, would come into my office in Myer's Hall some time tomorrow if they have not already done so and check off the names of the seven men they will see campaign day." The campaign is being carried on in systematic way. Meetings of promotion force, member and captains are held each morning in Myers Hall. Each of the seven men chosen selects seven other men to see during the campaign. The campaigning committees consist of a force large enough with subordinate members, to solicit every man in the University. The old wooden sidewalks leading to abandoned North College are being torn up and the lumber will be used for any purpose for which it is needed by the University. However, John M. Shea, superintendent of grounds, said the building itself will not be torn down at present. Fraternities scribebring to the Second Liberty bonds are Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Beta Pi, Phi Delta Theta, Signa Chi, Beta Theta PI, and Phi Gamma Delta. The work of selling bonds to the fraternities is being carried on under Don Davis, president of the Pan-Hellenic Association. North College to Stand The campaign starts with a ban quet at noon. Fraternities Take Bonds Do Your Bit "The man or woman who in these critical times fails to read a good newspaper regularly is a slacker" is the verdict of Prof. Willard Grayer, head of the department of journalism at the University of Wisconsin.
