Not One Sweet Song
When Quizzes Start
What a transformation! The gig, girling girl, the carefree youth, the happy-go-lucky freshman sauntering along with nothing to worry him but the angle at which he wears his newly acquired cap are gone.
The atmosphere at K. U. has changed overnight. The movies are deserted. Theda and Douglas seemingly have lost their charms. Wrinkles appear on the brow of the hitherto unfurrowed faces of the fair coeds. People rush madly from Fraser to Ad. murmuring to themselves and bumping into all the passersby. Smiles are things of the past.
Life is not one sweet song for quizzes have started.
Woodbury Interprets Philosophy of Emerson

"The perfection of man is his usefulness."
*All novels will in time fly away*
*in people who will become interested in*
*them.*
"You will accumulate facts as you become a fact, otherwise you will become a fact."
Concerning the newspapers, Emer son said, "The most studious an engaged man can neglect them on at their cost."

Dr. Burris A.Jenkins Comes to Campus to Talk for Liberty Loan
Lecture Will Be Given Saturday Night at Robinson Gymnasium
Fresh from a 6-month visit to the battle-torn fields of Europe Dr. Burris A. Jenkins of Kansas City comes to Lawrence tomorrow to speak before the students and townpeople on behalf of the Liberty Loan Bonds. Dr. Jenkins will speak in Robinson Gymnasium at 8 o'clock.
As Dr. Jenkins coneives it, the war is not over; it is not wise to predict that it will end soon; and, moreover it is astounding and dishearring to see the West in so smug a mood, in an "ostrich sleep" as he styles it. At Kansas City and other places where he has spoken he has received great ovations and his wide-nake Americanism it inspiring.
During his visit in Europe as one of the six men sent from the United States to do evangelistic work among the soldiers in the trenches under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A, Dr. Jenkins had wonderful opportunity to see the war at first hand and he is now an experienced Team leader that he is speaking over the country in an endeavor to arouse America to her responsibilities.
During the course of his plea for the Liberty Loan Bonds, Dr. Jenkins will give enough of what he saw in Europe to make his lecture one of price interest to every live citizen or businessman in Europe, and that lecture are urging strongly that every man, woman, and child should hear him.
Will Place Paper For Cups In More Buildings
To Follow Kansan's Suggestion For Furnishing Water
The drinking problem has been solved for the present. The drought on Mount Oread will be broken by an emergency purchase of the "homage cup until supply of twenty-four in-the-blot" machines arrive.
The inability to get an appropriation for the purchase of paper for the drinking cups to be used until the city water supply is fit to handle them, and the fountains, is the reason given by John M. Shea for the order of the cup-vending machines. In the meantime, until the machines arrive, the Kansan's scheme of putting paper for the making of drinking cups at the restaurants and larged on to embrace the more important buildings on the campus.
The paper for the cups will be placed in both the men's and women's sides of the gymnasium and in the Administration Building.

Old Kansan Editor Back
Employment Bureau of Y.M.C.A.Has Found Jobs for 134 Students
Total Number of Applicants for Work Was 134—Some Places Still on File
In the University Y. M. C. A. work last year eighteen men—active men, popular, athletes, not a sissy in the bunch—had charge of the work of the various departments of the association work. These eighteen men were in charge of the work of the promotion force of 225 chosen from the total enrollment of 1800 men students.
Out of a total of 175 jobs listed with the employment bureau of the Y. M. C. A., 134 have been filled, according to the latest report of Lloyd McHenry, director of the bureau. The total number of applicants for work was 212. Table waiting, stewarding, and dish-washing jobs were most in demand, and many have been among the old jobs, house and yard cleaning are the most common and profitable.
Seventeen kinds of permanent positions have been offered, ranging from positions requiring skilled labor down to work of the most trivial duties. The important technical workers have been offered, as well as for furnace men and ash carriers. Some students are doing stenographic and clerical work; others have laundry and paper routes; some have chauffeurs, while others press clothes.
Dutch Wedell Says:
McHenry's report shows that odd jobs are still on file. These may be obtained by students who want them. Students wanting work, however, must fill out an application card, give their class schedule, and fill out an application form. If needed, these rules are not complied with, the applicant is blacklisted and he may expect no more service from the employment bureau.
Not many there that weren't football men or debaters or basketball men or track men or strong students $ ^{a} $ or fraternity men or leaders of various school activities.
Part of the eighteen who were in charge last year (Find the molly-coddles and the sissies): Edward Todd, Clarence Gorrill, Harlan Russell, Walter Pickering, Harry Harlan, John Calene, Leland Smith, Edwin Price, John B. Dail, Lloyd Snook, Lawrence Nelson, Charles Sloan, Lester Evans, Fred Rodkey, Odils Burns and Richard Treweke.
A man doesn't have to be perfect to work with the Y. M. C. A. Don't hardly want them, in fact. With all perfect beings there would be no use for Christian associatons and work.
K. U. Women Must Buy Bonds, Says Prof. Galloo
Liberty Loan Brings Glorious Day When Women May Show Patriotism
Theorists are barred. There is no place for the man of theory. Lots of work demands practical men. The Y. M. C. A. wants more. More work and more men. Will you?
Such was the message of Miss Eugenie Galloo yesterday afternoon, only of course, she had to speak in English as her audience probably would not have understood had she spoken in French.
Miss Galloo, Miss Hannah Oliver, women of the faculty in behalf of the Second Liberty Loan. "The day of glory has arrived for patriots," she said, "for now women have a chance to meet their patriotism too but four of the women present yesterday promised to buy a Liberty Bond.
"Allons, enfants de la patrie,
Le jour de claire est arrivé."
Mis Galloo, Miss Hannah Oliver,
and Miss Carrie Watson have been appointed by the Lawrence Liberty Loan Committee to obtain pledges from faculty women. Any woman student can buy a book on this subject, for the desires, $60.00 bonds can be bought on the $1.00 per week payment plan.

Plain Tales From The Hill
Warning to freshmen: Don't leave your cap lying around loose. Verne Boyde did. He now has to spend another six bits.
Little Bobby Ferris, who is a well-known character on Oread, asked his mother last evening to "please cook some potatoes with their clothes on for him, cause he liked them that way."
It's tragic to be too studious. A K.U. woman told her library date to met her on the steps of Spooner at 9:30 o'clock last night. But she became absorbed in bacteriology lab and forgot about the date in order to pop down for lunch. The woman didn't come. The question is—how long did the date wait?
Just one more week to sleep until 8 o'clock, swallow a muffin whole, and rush up to an eight-thirty class. After this week, so the Senate says, we will arise and go to the 8 o'clock class. Just how we will arise many of us do not know. Just get up five minutes early tomorrow morning, five minutes earlier the next morning, and each succeeding morning, one professional nurse will wake up at the prograss hour October 29. One student has begun to set her alarm clock at 6 o'clock. She doesn't get up when it rings; she merely wants to get used to the idea of getting up at that time soon.
Speaking of Anna Hold again—she was almost responsible for a confagination at the Gamma Phi house. One frivolous sister, in her laht to press a gown for the show, left the electric iron turned on. The rest of the house discovered it after it had burned down to the floor.
James Lyne didn't want to be a hero early this morning—but rather left the responsibility and honor fall on Pi—noted Pi Upsilion dog.
It was just like this. James heard Pi exercising his lungs early this morning in a downstairs room and wondering what the reason could be, climbed out of bed and went halfway into the kitchen. He realized that he might meet a burglar and it was cold. Right about face! And our hero returned to bed.
A certain Freshman Rhetorical class was asked to write a theme about some peculiar personage and one girl chose to describe an old lady who was conspicuous for the "out-of-dateness" of her clothes. When her theme was returned this comment was written on the margin—"There is nothing queer about wearing a hat three years—I often do that myself."
K. U. Art Will Compete For Wanamaker Awards
Pi was making a study of a special sociological problem the other day when the brown-spotted bull dog came in and proceeded to argue the question. However "peaceful Pi" got the blame and was unceremoniously kicked out, the professor saying meanwhile, "If I were only sure all else would kill the other I'd let them fight."
The work of two students in the School of Fine Arts will be shipped to Philadelphia today to be entered in the fourteenth annual competitive exhibition for art students at the John Wanamaker store. The work consists of portrait studies in charcoal, and illustrations.
For years John Wanamaker, noted Philadelphia merchant, has been a warm friend of the artists and has to his credit the development of several of international fame. Frieseke, founder of the grand art prize at the Panama-Pacific Exposition, was brought into prominence by Wanamaker.
Mr. Wanamaker offers five groups of prizes, each group having a first prize of $50, second price of $25, two third prizes of $10, and six fourth prizes of $5 each.
Several years ago when just one large prize was offered, Prof. W. S. Hekking, now of the School of Fine Arts, but then an art student, won it.
Jayhawkers Will Clash With Ichabod Eleven On McCook Tomorrow
Oleott Puts Squad Through Hard Tackling Practice As Final Touch
Will Use Best Kansas Team
Captain Swede Nielsen Predicts Thirty-five Point Victory For Kansas
A long signal drill and tackling practice was the program last night in the last hard practice before the game with Washburn tomorrow. The men were given a thorough workout in which they imprint in rapid succession. They were, by each player was given a chance at one of the fresh athletes.
Allen Neeley was the best freshman player to get by the Varsity tacklers and time after time he broke away from the husky regulars. He is small but fast, and is a difficult man to bring to the ground. Stem Foster finally pulled him down. His fist fluked, was hurt on the head but will be able to get into the game tomorrow from all indications.
The pick of the Kansas squad will start the game against the Iachabos, but Coach Olcott expects to run in his second line-up if a substantial lead is piled up. Captain Nielsen believes Kansas will win by thirty-five points. He will run the team, as both Coach Olcott and Coach Jay Bond, along with Doc Marquis will be out of the city on scouting parties collecting notes on the relative ability if the Missouri Valley teams.
The latest recruit to the Jay-hawker football ranks is Humpty Wilson, regular end last fall, who has been prevented from coming out for practice by his late afternoon classes in the School of Medicine. Under the new Senate ruling, which away from the classes from 4 to 6 o'clock he is able to team. He was used at tackle and guard yesterday, and probably will start at right guard against Washburn.
Warren Woody, who was hurt in the Illini tangle, will not be able to play in the game Saturday. Netts will be back in the game. He was able to work in practice yesterday afternoon, although a bum knee has kept him out of the practices this week.
Liggett will likely get into the game at one of the guard positions. Simon, a fast fullback, be on the sidelines with a broken hand, hurt in scrimmage last week. Zoelner, a big tackle, who has been going well recently is not in the best condition because of a bad knee.
The Kansas lineup tomorrow will probably be: Laslett, left end; Nettels, left tackle; Jones, left guard; Hull, center; Wilson or Liggert, right guard; Frost, right tackle; Lonborg, right end; Foster, quarter; Pringle, left half; Mandeville, right half; Captain Nielsen, fullback.

Chi Omega gave a tea this afternoon in honor of their chaperon, Mrs. M. E. Pilkenton.
To the students of the University:
The need for economy and care in expenditures is becoming more evident every day. It will be a great mistake for us, or collectively to fail to forestall these that are certain to confront us.
as, you are certain to confront them. I trust that the expenditures in our social life may be cut down to the very minimum. I recommend that careful consideration be given to eliminating all expensive formal social activities for the duration of your university, and place inexpensive and informal functions. Whatever is done, it seems to me necessary that the cost to individuals of all social affairs of the University should be brought down to a
I take this opportunity not only of urging students and faculty to economize in expenditures except in unusual circumstances, but also urging that they exert themselves to the extent of their ability in the war loan campaign, in the Cross work, and in any other effort for their purpose the bringing of the war to a speedy and successful close.
