UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN VOLUME XV. Great Success Assured Paul Althouse, Tenor, is Dean Butler's Prediction Says Opera Star Will Even Surp pass Martinelli or Fanning NUMBER 27. Sale Of Tickets Picks Up A musical treat of high merit will enjoyably be performed in concert with the Alphas tonight, tonight. TICKET SALE IMPROVES Mr. Althouse comes from the Metropolitan Opera Company with a high recommendation. A success greater than any other of his tenor, or Cecil Fanning, who sang at the University last year, is what Dean Harold Butler predicts for him. The ticket sale, although it has increased the last few days, has been slow. Tickets are on sale at Round Corner Drug Store and the Registrar's office. Students may purchase season tickets for $1.50 and $1.00, while single admissions for the Althouse number are $1.00. As there are four numbers in the concert course, students may see each number for 25 cents. The concert will be nearly all in English, and Mr. Allhouse says his encores will be songs familiar to the audience. The tenor will be accompanied on the piano by Powell Wenver. The concert begins at 8:20. ENGLISH SONGS IN PROGRAM The program follows: Calendar Calendario Aida Verdi Crying of Water Campbell-Tipton Love Like the Dawn Cadman Requiescat Cadman Sunlight and Song.

Hammond Registrar Foster Now Has Full Power And Is Working With Committee Elimination of Graft In Student Enterprise Proves Difficult Task "Settling for all time the question of graft in student enterprises is proving a bigger job than we had anticipated," said Walter Havelock, president of the Student Council to a Kansan reporter this morning. "The committee approach to confer RB rights is is widely ardent and it is expected that the plan will receive the final touch within the next week or so." As the matter now stands full power over all functions and enterprises is vested in the hands of Registrar Foster, and students or organizations planning entertainments of any kind are being urged to take up their plans with Mr. Foster before defaulting on them. In this manner, it is expected that all difficulties may be ironed out until the final decision is reached. Havekorset is enthusiastic over the plans now being formulated, and insists that they will be much more satisfactory to the student body than the old system of absolute laxity was. It is not certain whether a plan of allowing some compensation to hop managers and kindred positions will be adopted or not, but it is certain that all functions can be materially reduced with great saving to the students. In view of the present tendency of students to eliminate extravagance, Havekorset believes that the new plans will prove at once popular to the student and the office-holder Typhoid Cases Improve Favorable reports come from the typhoid cases in the University hospital and no new or suspected cases have developed. However, there are fifty-three men who have not returned for their second and third inoculations. Two of them neglected their treatments is much smaller. The number of applicants for a first inoculation has increased during the last week. Kappa Sigma announces the pledging of John Sturgeon, c'21, o' Thomas, Oklahoma. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 24, 1917. Requirements Changed For Teacher's Degrees Only 120 hours are required now for the University teacher's diploma, according to F. J. Kelly, dean of the School of Education. All seniors were required to take at least four hours teaching in addition to the 120 hours of college credit for a B. degree, and a University teacher. All Liberts Arts formerly did not allow credit for senior teaching. The college now accepts senior teaching as credit toward the A. B. degree so all requirements for the diploma and GED can be gotten in 120 hours. The Fairy Minstrel Will Be the Opening Feature of the Evening All University Party Committees Announced By J. E. Burney Miller Owing to a typographical error, the Kansan of Tuesday said the All-University party, Saturday night, would last from 7:30 until 2 o'clock.

Kansas Art Will Have First Big Exhibition in Lawrence During Week Display of Kansas Federation Of Art Opens Today In Ad Building Paintings Valued At $5,000 Excellent Work By Sanden Hodge, Stone, and Others Included In List The Kansas Federation of Art Exhibit will open today in the Administration Building. Forty-four paintings of representative Kansas artists are on display on the third floor. This same exhibition has been on display for the past month at the State House in Topeka where it was first placed on exhibition during fair week. The exhibit is valued at nearly $5,000, and one picture alone is priced at $750. Three Lawrence artists have their pictures in the exhibit. S. T. Dickenson, and C. F. Ilipp. Most of the pictures are done in oil. EXCELLENT WORK BY SANDIZEN Griffith, who was charge of the disasters that the works of Birgen Sanden, of Lindsberg, the best. Two of his pictures are valued at $200 and like the other paintings, are for sale. Professor Griffith has two excellent paintings "Glorious Piar Trees" and "After the Storm." The works of Sanden are in oil and of the sort known as block painting. To be appreciated the paintings must be seen from a distance. Sanden's specialty is the painting of mountains, and he has three mountain scenes in his collection. His picture, Catherine Cathcart is best appearing works in his display, being rich in color and vivid in reality. Seven Topeka artists have their works on display. They are Marian Peers, Mrs. F. Coppede, Mrs. Helen Francis Hodge, Anna Francis, George M. Stone, and C. Clarisse Laurent, and Carl Bolmar. Probably the best of Mr. Stone's collection is that of the Mexican banana boy with a basket full of bananas on his head. "The Old Mission," a painting by Miss Laurent, is a typical and realistic picture of a Mexican mission, wrights and writers. WICHTIA AND EMPORIA REPRESENTED Wichita is well represented in the exhibition, which includes paintings, C. A. Seward, two; E. L. Davison, three; and J. Elliott Jenkins, two. Mr. Jenkin's painting "Hillside" is the highest priced on a show and is particularly well in portraying him artfully on a sloping road along a hillside. An unusual painting is that of Carl W. Nau, an Episcopal minister of Emporia. It is a large affair and shows a church altar in a big cathedral with the cross in the center. The sunshine from outside is flooding in and it casts a shadow near the altar carpet. Three figures, that of a working man, a golfer, and a society woman, are shown passing by. The women are standing behind the Altar To You, All Ye That Pass?" The coloring scheme is rich and handling of the shadows throughout is excellent. R. Kernodle, of Devoe, Oklahoma, also has a picture on display. The exhibition will be open free to the public for the next three weeks. Mare artists are being added to the Art Federation every year and by the second exhibition next year, the federation hopes to have every known artist in the state in the annual exhibit. Officers of the Sphinx, the honorary freshman society, were elected at a meeting held last night at the Beta Theta Pi house. The officers are: president, R. Brown Cunningham; vice-president, R. J. Snau; secretary, Eugene B. Graham; treasurer, Marc H. Lawrence. Sherwood Eddy Speaks On Morale of Armies At Last Convocation International Y. M. Worker Comes to Explain Needs of Association Just Returned From Front Brings Requests For Funds From Italy, France and The social life of the University is another of the severely criticised activities. The establishment of the Christian Church Bible Chair in Lawrence last year was opposed because one of the speakers took the social calendar of the University and misconstrued it. The Bible chair probably would have been defeated but for the repudiation of the statements by Registrar Foster of the University. Sherwood Eddy, international Y. M. C. A. worker and evangelist will speak on "The Morale of the Allied Armies," at the last morning convocation, to be held Friday at 9:30 o'clock in Robinson Gymnasium. Dutch Wedell Says: Russia Mr. Eddy is in the west, primarily, to place before a state conference in Topeka of business men, instructors and students, a request from Russia, and to send them to an association buildings and secretaries among their armies. Since the war began, Mr. Eddy, as a member of the international committee of the Y. M. C. A. has been engaged in association work with the several allied armies. His wife, Brigitte, died France, and he will speak mainly of conditions in France at convocation. The Topica meeting to which 150 K. U. students and faculty members are especially invited is for the public at large and is under the auspices of the North American Student Association, of which John R. Mott is chairman, and Chancellor Frank Strong is chairman of the Kansas executive committee. The movement is a union student and faculty effort. Sherwood Eddy is a Kansas man with an international reputation as a student worker and evangelist. His work before the war was largely among students in China and India and of this country which has given him material for several books recently published. Local Y. M. C. A. officers are making an effort to secure him as leader of the evangelistic campaign to be started next March. It is doubtful, however, if he can accept because of his sickness and that hand. He has promised to make a special effort to come to his native state, if possible. About sixty persons, including University students, professors and Lawrence merchants, were guests of T. J. Sweeney, vice president of the People's State Bank at the Chamber of Commerce rooms last night. The meeting was held in the interests of better feeling and co-operation between the University and townpeople. T. J. Sweeney Entertains Students and Merchants The meeting was a continuation of the co-operative movement started with the football rally. The talks given were words of praise for the new system, and of encouragement to the players. The authorities recognize the value of this meeting and are giving Mr. Sweeney credit for the movement. Uncle Jimmy Green spokes making it plain that the night-shirt parade this year was the best ever held, "Hail, Hail the gang's all here," Uncle Jimmy said, "originated from a bunch of old-time football games in Kansas City and that K. U. students picked it up there." Mayor W. J. Francisco said, "I have had fewer complaints of rowdyism this year than ever before. I have a special page for students' names in my book, but so far it is not filling up." Walter B. Havekorst, president of the Men's Student Council wants the students to co-operate with the merchants to stop rowdyy in rallies. Y. M. C. A. stags and parties. The purpose of these? Here they are: To offer entertainment for the men of the University that is enjoyable, whole-hearted, inexpensive, informal and unquestionable in nature. So smokers are tabooed by the Y. M. C. A. People ask: Why not give dances and make the parties formal? Formality does away with the very things the University association is striving for—democracy and economy. The Y, M. C. A. leaves it to the students as well as to the dance. The association does not wish to dictate in this matter. Purpose of the socials: To promote democracy among students. Informality and acquaintanceship are essentials. Send the Daily Kansan home Many Women Apply For Scholarships This Year The University Y. M. C. A. realizes the slightly strained relations between fraternity and non-fraternity men on the Hill. Through its socials and stags it tries to do away with this feeling. What say? A number of applicants have already taken advantage of the two scholarships open to women of the University. The Eliza Matheson Innes memorial scholarship, a gift of $100, is open to women of classes above the freshman and to women of the graduate school. The Lucinda Smith Burchard memorial scholarship, a gift of $200 without interest for two years, is open to women of the junior and senior years of the College. Applications for both scholarships must be in the hands of committee by next Friday. Prof. Eugenia Galooo will present information concerning scholarships. Plain Tales From The Hill Let Dr. Winthrop P. Haines of the department of geology solve the high cost of rouge problem for you. According to his theory it would be much cheaper to buy paint by the gallon, because in a recent analysis made by him for his Economic Geology class rouge—no matter how expensive—is after all only a high grade of barn paint. Speaking of Oral Interp., and being fussed, Iris Russell has a few words to say. This morning a poem had to be said. It was rather difficult to learn. (Ask Iris). Anyway, she ascended the steps. Iris hesitated, then said, "Let me speak." Encore une poem, she hesitated then, "Let me speak." That was the first line of the poem. Also another appeal, "Let me speak." Iris returned to her seat murmuring, "Let me sit down." He was a young and innocent Sig Alf freshman and he was trying manfully to entertain a senior girl from Kansas college who was visiting K. U. "This is a good school," said the freshman, "but the profs are awful hard. But oh, I don't suppose you know when I can be able to know when I came here." In this school prof is an abbreviation for professor." Those destructive Laws are at work again! They aren't satisfied with letting the freshmen wear their caps in peace. The other day Paul Olds passed Green Hall accompanied by two sweet young things. Just whether jealousy was the motive is not known, but anyway Paul was looking his best in one of these now. Looking Frankish capes when he was rudely snatched away from his fair companions by a bunch of naughty laws and was relieved of about six inches of his superfluous cap bill. Dramatic Club Invites Public Thursday Night The Dramatic Club will give two short plays in the Little Theater in Green Hall tomorrow night at 8 o'clock. The plays with the casts are: The Elopers," Marie Buchanan, Ludwig Lovey, Karl Brown and Brick Handler. "Feel The Brute", J. B.

The Military Office, in the southwest corner of the Gymnasium will be open from 4 to 6 o'clock every day this week, Saturday excepted. Any men who think they might be fitted for the work of either a commissioned, or non-commissioned officer in the K. U. regiment are asked to come in as soon as possible and talk the matter over. Kansas Students Buy $2200 Worth of Bonds To Help Beat Kaiser Booth Was Opened This Morning At Check Stand In Fraser Organizations Invest Cash Campaign To Continue All Week—Stand Open Tomorrow From 10 to 12:30 Up until 12 o'clock today University students and faculty members had subscribed for $2,200 of Second Liberty Loan Bonds, according to the Bank of John Montgomery who are in charge of the bond stand in Fraser Hall. A large number of the fraternities and sororites are taking out bonds in the name of their organizations. The Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, the Gamma Phi Beta and Pi Beta Phi sororites, and several others had taken out bonds this morning. Mr. Tucker has made a personal canvass of the various Greek letter organizations and said he believed all of them would subscribe to the loan before the end of the week. The Phi Kappa Psi chapter weekly meetings of the various organizations Monday night and many have not vet reported. TUCKER SOLICITS $1800 TUCKER SOLICITS $1800 Of the total sum subscribed Mr. Tucker had solicited $1,800 personally thereto by his personal and organizations have promised to take bonds but have not yet signed up. The campaign for selling the bonds will continue at the University the rest of this week. Tucker and Montgomery will be at the stand in Fraser from 10 until 12:30 o'clock Thursday morning to accommodate anyone who has not yet subscribed for a bond. A personal campaign also will be made. Anyone who wishes to subscribe for a bond may do so by calling for Tucker or Montgomery at the Kansan office. "It is the duty of every student on the hill to buy a Liberty Bond," said Tucker this morning. "Terms for buying the bonds are within the reach of everyone. Any of us should not be able to save a dollar a week." The individual students who took out bonds at the stand in Fraser this morning were: John A. Montgomery, Eva Anderson, Irma and Ruth Leeman, Kevin O'Neill, Robert W. Abraham, J. Granoff, Robert F. Hunter, George Taylor. The installment plan of purchasing a bond is to pay one dollar down and a dollar a week for forty-nine weeks. The bank with which the individual is doing business, will pay the last installment on the bond and also pay the holder four per cent on his investment. Soph Sell Tags For Bonds Class Memorial Fund Invested In Second Liberty Loan The sophomore class will sell tags to buy Second Liberty Loan bonds for the class memorial fund tomorrow. Webb Wilson chairman of the memorial committee said this morning that there would be a large corps of workers selling tags both on the University campus and down town. They would hold for ten cents or price that a student may want to pay. The manager of the tag day expects to raise at least $250 to be invested in the bonds. At the small city of St. Johns, the high school raised his amount by means of tags issued in the second Liberty Loan in one day. It is the patriotic duty of students to invest in Liberty Loan bonds, and the sophomore class believes that students will take advantage of this easy means of doing their bit in the loan campaign. Every cent of the money secured in class bonded loans is deposited in banks. They are left in charge of Registrar George O. Foster, who will keep the bonds until the class wishes to sell them. The second year class considers the Liberty Loan bonds a good investment, as well as a necessary duty towards the United States government. When the time for buying the senior memorial comes, the plan is to sell the bonds and give an unusually good gift to the University of Kansas. Fraternity Calls Pi Beta Phi will be at home to Kappa Sigma Thursday, October 25, from four-thirty to five-thirty. Send the Daily Kansan home.
