UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS TUESDAY AFTERNOON. OCTOBER 9, 1975
Stingy Railroads Bar Jayhawkers From Game With Illinois Saturday
Failure of Common Carriers To
Grant $10 Rate Cuts
Rooter Crop
Team Off At 3:50 Friday
Rusty Friend Changing Rally Plans to Suit New Time Of Departure
"The Jayhawker football team will leave Lawrence at 3:00 o'clock Friday afternoon, instead of Friday night as was originally planned," said W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics, this morning.
This means that the big rally and send-off planned for the squad at the Santa Fe station by Russell Friend, cheerleader, will have to be called off or held in the afternoon. Successful afternoon rallies are mighty few according to Rusty. The cheerleaders however tend to do so before the morning rallies before calling the affair off. A definite announcement will be made in Wednesday's Kansan.
NO $10 RATE TO URBANA
Many students had planned to make the trip to Urbana with the team if a reasonable round trip rate could be secured. It was expected that a coach from the Manager Hamilton, while in Kansas City last week arranging for the trip, talked with the railroad men, but received very little encouragement from them. "I asked about the ten-dollar rate to Urbana, but the Wabash officials said not manager it," said the athletic manager.
This will mean that the team will receive very little backing in the way of "Rock Chalks" on the Illinois gridiron. Cheerleader Friend and a few other students probably will watch the game with them, but bull enthusiasts will wait until October 13 to see their team in action against the Emporia Normals.
Just what that new stuff is will be announced in a few days, along with the latest info.
Instruction In Wireless For University Students
NEW STUFF FOR THE PARADE
The cheerleader and his assistants are busy working out the details of the Normal rally and the Shirt parade. "The big crowd will follow the leader, it did last year," Friend this morning, "Director McCanies and his band will be at Fraser Hall to head the procession, and we are going to pull some new stuff on the march this year."
Because of the lack of men skilled in the use of wireless apparatus and other signal devices, the Signal Corps of the United States Army has provided for the training of men at the University of Kansas.
A five hour course of instruction has been scheduled in connection with the physics and electrical engineering departments, to consist of two lectures and three periods of three hours each for practice in the international field of applied physics. The courses will cover the elements of electricity and magnetism, followed by work on standard commercial wireless and telegraph apparatus. No previous training is required for the course, and no fees will be charged, the necessary apparatus for code testing in laboratory mode, for code being furnished by the physics department. Although no credit towards a University degree is offered for the course, it is open to everyone who wishes to learn wireless, whether regularly enrolled in the University or not. The instruction should be given by W. H. Beltz, Chief Radio Operator, U. S. M. S., Philadelphia.
Those who complete the full course will be able to obtain licenses as radio operators, which fit the holder for either signal corps, navy or merchant marine service. The course should appeal successfully to potential applicants. The service in the National Army, as it prepares for a preferred branch of the service.
All who desire to enroll for the course, or who are interested in a similar course should apply at once to Room 3, Blake Hall.

Dean F. J. Kelly Spoke
At Myers Hall Sunday
“University class work of the most exciting scientific character will but strengthen our religious convictions if we know how to interpret our religion in the light of modern science,” said Dean F. J. Kelly at the vesper services of the Methodist League Sunday afternoon at Myers Hall.
"Leadership can be developed only by standing stunghily for one's convictions in the face of temptation and sorrow."

Red Cross Work Starts ForK.U. WomenThursday When All Districts Meet
Council of W. S.G.A.Will Offer Reward For Best Work By Districts
The first district meeting for the women of the University will be held Thursday night at seven o'clock. The district leaders, appointed yesterday by the vice-president of the council of the Woman's Student Government Association, will call on all women in the district to attend and announce the place of meeting.
Hospital garments and supplies cut out ready for basing have been checked out to Katherine Reding, president of the W. S. G. A. by the Lawrence Red Cross society and will be given to the district chairmen today. They ask that all women bring thimbles, needles, and thread to the meeting Thursday. The council subscribed $50 for the work.
The district leaders are: 120 blocks Orend and Mississippi streets, Margaret Young; 1100, 1200, 1300 blocks Louisiana; Easher Roop; 1100, 1200, 1300 blocks Ohio, Mary Van Tennessee; Easher Roop; 1400 blocks Tennessee, Pattl Hart; 1000 block Ohio and 1100 blocks Tennessee, Zolan Kidwell; 1400, 1500, 1600 blocks Kentucky, Vermont, and Massachusetts, Faye Dodgedire; 1100, 1200, 1300 blocks Kentucky and Vermont, Gertrude LacOs; 900, 1000 blocks Indiana, Joseph Wagstaff; 900 blocks Ohio, Louisiana, and Tennessee, Easter Burke; 900, 1000, 1100 Indiana, Joseph Stimpson; 900, 1000, 1100 blocks Mississippi, Illinois, Alabama, Maine, Missouri, Katherine Fulkerson and Freda Louisiana; 1000 blocks Louisiana, Ester Moore; 1300, 1400, 1500 and 1600 blocks New Hampshire, Mary Smith.
"If your district leader doesn't call on you or telephone, let her know where you are," Ethel Scott, chairman of the leaders said. "Many addresses have changed and there is no student directory which makes it almost impossible for the leaders to find every one.
"The organization of the districts for Red Cross work will be the most important thing undertaken by the council this year. The leaders have never been so enthusiastic but the success of the work will depend upon the University women themselves, the Lawrence Red Cross will furnish us with all the work we can do. This gives a permanent basis for the work of the districts which has been lacking before.
"This is the only way University women can do official Red Cross work. It will also give them a chance to learn more about the war and war needs. In order to create competition, a reward will be offered by the council to the district which does the best work.

Downfall of Autocracy in Russia is Greatest Blow To Huns—Patterson
The Social Service Committee of the Y. W. C. A. will meet Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in Myers Hall.
Assistant Dean Tells of His Experiences on Battle Front As Correspondent
Believes In The Aircraft
Fortifications and Camps Ar Disguised To Hide Them From Enemy
The downfall of Russian autocracy and the establishment of a republic in that country is the greatest blow to the Teutons since the beginning of the war, according to Prof. D. L. Patterson, who spent the summer in Europe as a special correspondent for the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.
It is true, Professor Patterson says, that Russia is doing practically nothing now at the battle front, but they have internal problems to solve. They will have these questions settled in a short time, he believes, and will then be able to strike on the eastern battle front with a vigor that has been unknown there during the last two years of the war.
Professor Patterson spent the summer on the French and Belgian fronts and was a witness of the battle of Flanders. The battle line in this engagement is twenty-five mile long and the length of the town. The town of Ypres has been bombarded two years and is battered to pieces.
KEENSKY'S SUCCESS, RUSSIA'S "The crisis in Russian freedom was reached and safely passed," says Professor Patterson, "when Korniloff marched against Kerenksy and was defeated. Korniloff killed them, they were marching against the new government. When they learned what they were doing the Korniloff army melted away."
VIEWED BATTLE OF YPRES
Professor Patterson and other newspaper correspondents were permitted to climb a high elevation near Ypres. From their position the correspondents could see the barrage fire of the British. The British artillery was concealed and all that could be seen to tell their position was stabbing flames of fire on the ground, or out of thickets of trees.
From here Professor Patterson went to Messines Ridge. This elevation earlier in the war had been held by the Germans. To capture it the British tunneled under it and placed twenty-one mines. These mines were set off simultaneously and the hill was swept away. Two of the mines

Patterson To Describe War Before Women's Club
Prof. D. L. Patterson, of the department of history, will address the Women's Forum at its opening meeting in Room 110, Fraser Hall, Wednes afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. His subject will be "The War and World Politics."
Professor Patterson spent the summer in France at the front, and will have many interesting things to tell about his experiences there. After the lecture a few minutes will be used for discussion.
The Women's Forum is an organization whose purpose is to arouse among the women of K. U. an interest in political affairs of the world, nation, and state, and every woman of the University, including students, members of the faculty, and wives of the faculty, are invited to attend its meetings.
The Tepary bean has been grown with success in Arizona and New Mexico where the rainfall is but ten or twelve inches. They yield from 450 to 600 pounds of seed and as much as 1500 pounds per acre with irrigation. The beans planted in the University breeding grounds withstood the drought this summer and since the rains began have matured a good crop. No special soil was used for planting. The success of the Tepary bean in ordinary Kansas soil is practically assured.
Professor Charles A. Shull, of the department of botany, has been experimenting with the growing of Tepary beans this summer. These take the place of navy beans which rarely make a good crop in Kansas because the rains come too late to allow the beans to mature before frost.
Department of Botany Raises Tepary Beans
The K. U. Dames will meet with Mrs. U. G. Mitchell, 1313 Massa-
nina, U.S.A., Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Wives of studen-
tats are eligible to membership.

Chancellor Frank Strong and Hugo Wedell, secretary of the University Y. M. C. A. left yesterday for Chicago, where they will attend a conference of Y. M. C. A. War-Workers. Dr John R. Mott and Sherwon Eddy, who have just returned from Europe, met with the war committee meeting. The subject will be "The Present War Situation and the Y. M. C. A."
Six men from Kansas received telegrams from John Mott inviting them to attend. Chancellor Strong, President H. J. Waters of the agricultural college, Doctor Mossman of Southwestern college, Mr. Wedell and Edward Todd were the men to be so when the war ended they are going and Todd probably will go. He is the only student from the state of Kansas to be called.
Dr. Arthur Braden will have charge of the Wednesday afternoon meeting of the University Y. M. C. A. if Mr. Wedell fail to return in time.
Black Helmet Pledges Ten
The little black pledge ribbons of Black Helmet appeared on the Hill Monday afternoon for the first time this year. The pledging of the ten lucky sophomores took place at noon on the campus. The pledges are at: Earnest Clark, Joe Daniels, Paul Johnson, Rollo Howeden, Earl McKinney, Fred Leach, Royal Ryan, Phillip Doane, Xenophone Smith and Bruce Fleming. They will be initiated the first of next week.
Oread Training School Enrollment Sixty-Five
Oread Training School, the high school connected with the University, began its second week of class in January and continued for sixty-five. Of this number, according to H. W. Nutt, director, about forty percent come from Lawrence and the rest from Douglas, Lawrence, and other Kansas counties.
Seniors in the School of Education do much teaching under the direction of the training school supervisors. Few K. U. students are making up high school credits in the training school this year.

Have you noticed the trend of patriotism in the tickets submitted by the politicians this week? There's the "Home Guards" in the senior class and the line-up against the Home Guard. That's not a top. Top." The sophomores started out with "To the Front." Now they've changed to the "Go Get Ems".
And the list of notables, have you noticed that? There's George Washington, our late president, running again for the presidency this time of the junior class. Harold Hoover is working with the sophomore bunch. In real life Mr. Hoover is seeing that Burchan, named after a former president of the U. S., is running for secretary of the top class.
Noah Hersey sounds like the man who built the ark and a chocolate combined. Don Hughes is striving for the vice-presidency of the sophomore class. The real Mr. Hughes was deceived by his college mates, son of strength fame and running for sophomore secretary, completes the list.
Included in the "What They Say column of the Kansan must not be forgotten the statement of the freshel man thus: "And now that the soi drees are gone, maybe we have four fi will have a chance with 11 girls."
Claude Wandel, captain of the 1915 basketball team, has joined the ranks of state office holders and his duties often bring him to Lawrence. He is a member of the board. It is his duty to look after sanitary conditions in hotels and restaurants.
Lucius Perkins might be called an unsettled person. He has been in the University two years. This year, his mother being in California, he intends to move to the university of California. But the call of Kansas brought him back to Lawrence for a visit. While here he became interested in the signal department where he met so well he joined the battery Sunday and left with the troops Monday.
Talking about intramural athletics for students of the University, Chas. Shawson suggests that paddling and blanketing were about the two best specimens ever seen on Mt. Orcad. Now they are abolished by the Senate.
Phillip Hayes, the man with the guitar who did so much entertaining last year, returned to school this year with his brother Ashton. They were planning a series of entertainments those they did all summer in and around Estes Park. But the call of the hammer got them and they are now building cantonment houses for the soldiers at Camp Funston. They are also entertaining on the side for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A.
"Technique of Social Surveys," by Prof. M. C. Elmerof the department of sociology, was one of the five best text books selected by the editor of Studies in Sociology, a magazine published by the University of sociological Society. Twenty-five books of importance on the subject of sociology were chosen.
Editor Chooses Elmer's Book
Interest In Politics Grows With Appearance Of Two Complete Tickets
Keenest Competition In Senior Class—Has Two Tickets
All Petitions Due Tonight
All Classes But Freshmen Now Have Candidates For Offices
The political situation took on more of an aspect of competition this morning when a second senior ticket was announced, giving the first premise of a fight for the class officers in the campaigns started last last week.
The second senior ticket to enter the ring was dubbed "Over the Top" ticket and will run in competition to the "Home Guards" ticket. Earl Burcham was the captain, the honor of senior president from Warren Wattles, best known as the editor of last year's Sour Owl, Charles Shughart will battle with Dutch Schonfeld for the vice-presidency. Marie Buchan is in conflict against Bernard Riese, vice-pilot in the secondary role. Peter Hart is contesting against Lena Rogers for treasurer.
In the junior class, only one ticket has appeared which is known simply as THE junior ticket. "George Washington is the candidate for the presidency, Rex Brown for the vice-president, Frances Hitchcock for secretary, LaVere Tucker for treasurer. Raymond Hemphill and Warren Woody are the teammates for the Junior Prom managerships. Eugene Cureus is the chairman for the editorship and management respectively of the Jayhawker.
In the sophomore class the "To the Front!" ticket still holds sway with the following candidates for the class offices: President, Bruce Fleming; vice-president, Don Hughes; secretary, Mary Samson; treasurer, Earl MacKinney; Hop Manager, Rip Brady.
Six o'clock is the limit for the petitions to be filed with the Student Council. They must be in the hands of Walter Havelock, president of the council, by that time. Each petition must be accompanied by a fee of seventy-five cents to pay for the cost of printing the ballots.
NO FROSH LINE-UP YET
The least interest has been shown in the freshman class in which no ticket has been announced and only the day remains for petitions to be handed in. Rumor has it that the yearlings have as many as two tickets in the making but that neither will be announced until the very last moment.
The names of the election judges have not been announced. Neither is the location of the polls on the campus yet chosen. They will be announced later.
Y. W. C. A. Opens Annual Membership Campaign
The membership campaign of the university Y. W. C. A. began yesterday and will continue until Wednesday, October 10. By that time the university has hundred members, according to Margaret Walker, chairman of the membership committee. Last year there were only four hundred and fifty members. The committee considers the small size and age of the women in the University.
Committee Plans to Have Seven Hundred Members for Banquet October 10
The membership committee this year consists of twenty women, chosen from every sorority and organization in the University, in order to facilitate the campaign. Every new woman on the hill will be approached and personally invited to become a member of the "Y."
The close of the campaign will be celebrated by a banquet, given Wednesday night, October 10. Plans for this banquet have not been completed, but it will be such as to form a big inducement to join the Y. W. C. A.
Debaters Meet Wednesday
The meeting time of the night class in debating has been fixed, temporarily at least, at 7:15 o'clock on Wednesday nights. Mr. Howard T. Hill, who has charge of the class, annotates and hands out notes to ensure the class this week, although no definite announcement can be made until later.
The Men's Glee Club announces a try-out at 7 o'clock tonight at the its building, 1406 Tennessee Street. Its results will be given out tomorrow.
