Oread Politicians Now Are On Final Stretch In Election Campaign
Lively Contests Are Being Waged In Senior and Freshman Classes
Frosh Tickets Out Today
Council Announces Rules—Pre caution Will Be Taken Against Fraud
The crisis in the political fracas was reached last night when the last of the petitions to be filed showed two senior tickets in the field, a single ticket in each of the junior and sophomore tickets, and three line ups on the freshman class.
Little fight has been shown as yet but with competition in both the senior and freshman classes the other politicians are looking forward to a rather bitter contest among the fourth year men where two popular students are pitted against each other for the presidential honors. The candidates appear in the freshman ticket in which the first year men are doing all they can to get acquainted with the larger number of candidates.
The "Stalwart" freshman ticket is President, Wayne Martin; vice-president, Agnes Sutton; secretary, Alen Graves; treasurer, Mary Pope dexter.
The "All-Frosh" ticket follows Earl F. Kennedy, president; Dorothy Swartz, vice president; Everett Curtis, secretary; Victor Tomlinson, treasurer.
The following rules have been given out by the election committee of the Student Council to govern the election Friday:
(1) An X placed after the name of a candidate signifies the voter's choice; a name may be filled in in the proper place.
(4) No voter shall reenter the voting enclosure.
(2) The ballot shall be marked and properly歼 within the mouth.
(3) One voter only may occupy one booth at a time.

(9) It is to be in any reason in possible to determine the voter' choice for any office, his balloon shall not be counted for said office. (9) There shall be no electioneering, including the distribution of handbills or dodgers, within ten feet of the judges' table.
In order that students voting in the election of class officers may know where they shall cast their votes, the classification of voters as determined by the University Senate is given below:
For the College those with 20 hours credit shall vote as sophomores, with 50 hours as juniors, and with 80 hours as seniors.
Because of a rule in the constitution of the Men's Student Council the names will be arranged on the ballots under the office for which the candidates are running in an order determined by lot.

No Football Rally When Team Leaves For Urbana
Cheerleader Rusty Friend announced this morning that the rally, which was to be given when the football team leaves for Illinois, has been called off as the team will leave at 3:30 o'clock Friday afternoon.
He has chosen Rex Kendall and Harold Hoover to be his assistants this year. Kendall is a sophomore in the School of Engineering and has had experience as a cheerleader at the Kansas State Agricultural College. Hoover is a sophomore in the College.
YES INDEED! He's with us again!

The prof who holds classes overtime.
Somehow or other, he just won't learn that when he holds a class he makes everybody in it late to their next class, and that that makes the next class getting started, and that that.
The Kansan—mean, despicable thing, is going to have to print the names of profs who are in this highly annoying pastime.
What's the use?
Starting next Monday, the Kansan will publish a list that will be as complete as the long suffering students care to make it.

Five Medical Students Are Caught By Draft
Medics Are Puzzled By Order After Assurance of Exemption
Five men in the School of Medicine at Rosedale have been drafted and ordered by the Adjutant General of the United States to hold themselves in readiness for service at any time. Some time ago an order was issued by the War Department ordering all medical students selected in need to be篮炼 and put into the medical reservation. They would be allowed to complete their work in school before being taker into service.
The men are in doubt as to what they will be called upon to do. They had believed they would be allowed exemption until their courses were completed, but the Adjutant General's order puzzles them. They may be taken to an army training unit, or to army officers and men, but they have no authoritative information regarding the government's intentions.
The Medical School has not decreased in enrollment according to one of the men, but all of the men are wondering whether they will be allowed to complete their work at Rosedale, or whether they will be forced to take training at government camps.
The men drafted are Earl, Jones, Dan Stofer, Carl Burhead, William Rose, and Louis B. Gloyne, Paul Belknap was called but his district's quota was filled before his summons was sent out.
Oread May Conceal Coal;
Faculty Works For Mine
K. U. will have a mine experiment station on the campus next year if the plans of the University faculty are carried out. There are five similar stations operated by the United States government and in 1915, by the General Hospital, ten stations were provided for; three to be established every year.
Zinc, coal, gas, and oil fields in the southeastern part of the state, the Chancellor believes, are sufficient reason for the installation of such a bank. The bank will this comes the appointment by the state board of administration of B. L. Wolfe, former director of the Wier City school of mines, to the position of associate professor of mining at the University of Kansas, in the southeastern portion of the state although he lives in Lawrence.
The fact that there has been much activity in mining work at the University for the last three years, as well as the presence of the state geolithic mapping techniques that ideal location of this experimental tion is in Lawrence.
At the regular meeting of the Home Economics Club Thursday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in Room 10, Fraser Hall, Marjorie Templin, c14, will tell about her work as dietitian in the city hospital at Baltimore, Md.
Vill Tell of Hospital Work
Book Campaign Has Support of President Wilson and Governor Canner
"A good book for every soldier" is the slogan adopted by the campaign managers of the Soldiers' Library Fund. More than one-tenth of the amount set for the University of Utah gift has been opened, it was announced this morning.
Students Have Given One-Tenth of Amount Asked For Book Fund
"The patriotic spirit of the students in giving to the library fund is praise-worthy," said Miss Carrie Watson, in charge of the campaign here. "One University girl left money is my mail box for the library fund. Although the war started, the students have given willingly and liberally."
The men in camp, according to Miss Watson, have more time to read than generally is supposed. An interesting book for a few moments after a day's work means much to the soldier.
All money collected will be used for the purchase and care of books at the cantonments in this country and in France. The campaign has the hearty support of President Wilson and Governor Capper.
For the convenience of students a box has been placed on the counter in Spooner Library, where donations to the fund may be deposited. A compartment among the faculty members within the next few days is being planned.
Down in the gloomy basement of Fraser, away from the noise and hurry of the students, is Prof. R. A Schoeveler's psychopathic test laboratory, with the work of testing the mental and physical fitness of school children.
Psychopathic Contortion To Show Student Ability
The Binet-Simon and Yerkes point scales, standard tests consisting of various questions, problems and exercises, are employed in determining the child's mental maturity and his ability to express himself. The Knox test, also the government in emaining immigrant ats Ellis Island, is also employed.
The school children of Lawrence are being examined now and the tests of their reasoning powers show that about three percent find it difficult or impossible to do the required work; more than percent do it under a tremendous handle. A modified course of procedure is advocated in these cases.
Two ungraded rooms with special teachers have been organized to help in the further development of defective students. The eyes, ears, and mouth of these children and notice of any defects are sent to the parents, the ultimate object of this work being to fit students to do some work whereby they can be of real benefit to society instead of dependent upon it. As soon as possible the students are added to the students of Oread High School and the School of Education.
It may be of great interest to Hill habitats to discover there were no earthquakes here during the month of September. While this news may come with a shock to a large number of freshness, it is nevertheless, a scientific fact.
September Weather Ideal Report of Local Bureau
Class In Debating Meets
Two hours credit will be given to
juniors and seniors in the debating
class which meets every Wednesday
and Friday. Two credits will be allowed to take part in the
debates but they can get no credit for
their work. Twenty students are enrolled in the class, four of whom
are juniors and four are seniors,
this year. They are Lola
Wilson, W. O. Hake, Paul Schmidt,
and Joseph Harris.
The weather report makes bold to talk about the mean temperature. Generally it was considered very decent. Just because the temperature for the month averaged 19 of a degree below the usual September average is no reason why it should be called mean.
Prof. Howard T. Hill's class in debate met tonight in Room 3, Green Hall.
In regard to the wind felt and heard on the Hill during the month, the total run was 7,580 miles, which is less than the September average.
September 26 was the wettest day of the month. Four inches of rain fell. In view of these summaries, the weather bureau feels justified in calling the period just past an ideal autumn month.
Jayhawkers Made Gains At Will in Scrimmage With Haskell Indians
First Practice Game Was Yesterday On McCook—Play Again Today
The Jayhawkers showed well against Haskell last night is the first scrimmage against the Indians this season. The Indians smashes, plays through the line or around end, mixed with an occasional pass gave the K. U. men as opportunity to score five times, although none men was allowed to cross the goal line.
Simon, a Seneca high school star, and backfield man on the freshman team last fall, made some fine gains when he played one play he broke away for twenty-two yards. Another time he managed to get loose twice after being tackled and made twenty-six yards. But another time downhill when Coach Olecott stopped him.
On a pass from Foster he made seventeen yards. On the next play he tossed a pass to Foster who had a clear field for a touchdown. Smashes through the line by Tom Pringle were to gain 60 yards, twice gains of eleven, twenty-seven and eight yards for downs when given the ball. Captain Nielsen on the first return after the Indians had kicked-off, negotiated twenty-five yards before being stopped. James Knowles, a player with weights nearly 170 pounds, was in the play every minute he was in the line-up and recovered a fumble when a Haskell man dropped the球 on a forward pass, after being tackled. Ray Davis, a new man in the backfield, did some good work and caught a Haskell pass. He was headed for touchdown when the coach stopmed him.
The last play of the practice was a 20-yard pass, Foster to Shinn, and t was good for a touchdown, for Shinn had passed all the Haskell players before he caught the ball. Scrubby haslett again starred in getting down the field and getting the man with the ball.
Haskell was not very successful with the passing game, usually losing ground by the play or failing to complete the pass. Coach Beau Olivier broke up a pass, breaking up the pass, while showing the best method of playing the game themselves. Captain Black at quarter and Bowman played the best game for the Indians. Bowman relied on the ball off at one time and a chance to move.
Webb Wilson, who has been trying for quarter, was out of the game as a result of a twisted ankle in early practice yesterday afternoon. Simon smashed his nose in the first few minutes of practice.
This afternoon the Varsity again will scrimmage Haskell for the last mix-up before the big Illinois game Saturday.

Eastern Colleges Want Article By Miss Hoopes
In last April's Graduate Magazine an article was published on Vocational Guidance for Women by Miss Helen Rhoa Hoopes, instructor of English. The purpose of this article was to point out to the girl graduate, who does not want to teach, the hundred other things she may do.
Copies of the Graduate Magazine went east, where the vocational story was appreciated as thoroughly at K. U. The Harvard department library of commerce and the Boston industrial and educational union recently have written asking for April copies to put on file.
Plain Tales From The Hill
And the freshmen couldn't get away from the war idea of this can a gm. The clutch out this morsing had as a form of support, they call themselves "the Stalwarts."
Political tickets are selected with much care. Just look at a freshman ticket. Three freshmen were kicked out of the general caucus in Fraser yesterday afternoon at 4:15 o'clock. So they rushed down to the Journalism building, grabbed a typewriter by the horn and one started pecking when the two others began calling girls and boys on the 'phone to see if they would go on the ticket. At 4:30 o'clock a ticket was made up. At 4:30 o'clock a couple of priests signed by twenty-five freshmen each, in the hands of Walter Havekorev, president of the Men's Student Council.
Yeah, they use lots of care.
When a book from any of the University libraries is being repaired an inscription is written on the card that the book is "Out to Bindery."
October 3—and still the little dandelion growth and blossomth and scatterter seeds. It must have German blood in its veins, the little dandelion does it act as if it intended to take the earth, or at least, the whole campus.
One of the librarians yesterday told a student that the book he was hunting for was "Out to Professor Bindery."
A student was telling this joke in this class of a well-known history professor. He asked the students at the job and then inquired: "And to whom did he refer?"
Who is Professor Bindery? **?** ask
him. "I find so many books
out under his book."
Herbert Mee has a funny name. It often causes him much embarrassest. Herb is naturally a good grammarian, but he is called down numerous ties when in answering the phone he says: "This is Mee." Invariably the voice at the other end remarks: "Who is this?" "This is Mee." Then the voice: "You should say: 'This is I.'"
Had one of these regular honest-to-goodness dog fights on the campus yesterday. Paddy, Professor Dykstra's dog, was ambling peacefully along when attacked by the two Sig Alph dogs. 'Instead of backing away and living to fight another day, Paddy went right into the spirit of the fight. The dogs bit and yanked some time the couple of freshmen separated the threesome, a greater part of one car and someone chewed on his neck. But, as Paddy would remark, were able to talk: "You ought to see the other two."
Pi wasn't present.
Here's a joke from the economics department, where wokes are rare and scarce.
Professor: "Is friendship to be considered as an economic goo-
Student: "It depends on the gen erosity of the friend."
Newspaper work kinda keeps a guy on the jump. There is Miles W. Vaughn. Miles graffitated in 1916. He went first to the Salina Journal where he was city editor. Then he went to Chicago with the United Press and later to St. Louis. Now he is the manager of the United Press. He was visiting at the Kanza house last week end.
The Alpha Chi Omega's have issued invitations to a tea to most of the members of the different lady organizations on the Hill.
Mighty nice of them you say and there is but one thing lacking. They have forgotten to record the date of the day of the party.
Nothing of importance. Just a minor consideration.
Herbert Hoover, national food administrator, will send a representative here Friday to speak on "Food Conservation in Kansas." The lecture will be given in Fraser Hall at 10 a.m., and the chairman of the committee on lectures convocations says this is the first of a series, to be given this year and that he expects a large attendance because of the nature of the subject.
All Students Must Take Military Work or Gym, Says University Senate
Resolutions Introduced By Dean Templin In Accord With Recommendations
Quarterly Year Plan Up
Special Committee Considering the Division of School Year Into Four Quarters
Every able-bodied student in the University will be compelled to take military drill or physical exercise, according to resolutions passed by the University Senate at its first regular meeting yesterday afternoon. Even women will have to take some form of exercise.
The resolutions were introduced by Olin Templin, dean of the College. There are five of them and approve the position taken by the federal government as expressed by the Secretary who takes呜es comprehensive military training at all universities for every student.
All students must undergo physical examination after which medical authorities will designate the form of athletics or sports to be taken according to individual needs or inclinations.
Intercollegiate athletics will be continued with the other schools of the valley but particular attention will be paid to intra-mural sports.
A committee will decide the best hour for military work. The department of physical education is hampered by lack of instructors and men of military experience will be ap pointed to handle University cadets
An important incident of the meeting was the introduction of a resolution by Dean Templin to divide the school year into four equal quarters as soon as is practical. The proposal was referred to a special committee. The purpose of this move is to enable the student who is working his way through school to go one quarter and then stay out for a few months and earn money to return for another quarter.
This plan has been very successful at larger universities and colleges. A student would be able to obtain about as much credit in three of the 3-month terms as now in two terms of four and one half months each. The fourth term would correspond to the present summer session, except that the student could obtain more credit from it.
The physical training resolutions introduced by Dean Temlin follow:
The Senate named a committee to revise the University constitution, which is usually revised about every ten years.
That the University of Kansas heartily approves the position taken by the federal government, as expressed by Secretary Baker, urgently favoring effective physical drill for all University students. To that end it is hereby declared to be the policy of this institution that:
First, every student shall be required to engage in such physical exercise as may be designated by the proper medical authorities as suitable to his personal needs as shown by a physical examination.
Second, opportunity shall be provided for all students to engage in athletic sport under the direction of competent instructors, the choice in each case being determined by the student as well as his inclination.
Aim At Student Health A
Third, intercollegiate athletic contexts shall be continued as a means of stimulating healthy interest and growth in students well as to provide appropriate recreation for the student body, but the ultimate aim of the physical health of the whole student body shall never be limited to the attainment of grain or the amusement of the public.
Fourth, the University Health Committee shall have the cordial support of all officials and official bodies of the University in its efforts to secure and maintain effective hygienic conditions and customs.
Fifth, military drill will be provided for such students as may be assigned to it by the department of physical education.
