County Club Union To Campaign for Votes for Permanent Income Bill
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS THURSDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 27, 1917.
Bill Passed By Last Legislature Will Be Voted On In 1919
Union Will Organize Help
Students Must Help To Assum Success of the Eec-
Active work on the Permanent Income bill which passed the state legislature last winter which is to be voted on at the state election in 1919 and will be held by the Gladstone, president of the County Club Union and of the state County Club Council will call a meeting at that time to elect officers of the union. Practically all of last year's graduates had left the University.
Last fall, the County Club Union built up such a strong organization, with nearly every county in the state represented, that the work of getting the Income Bill through the Senate, and finally through the House was implemented in the face of just as much opposition as it met the year before.
After the first three weeks that the income bill had been before the legislature, Topeka papers gave the bill up as lost, but not so with Wilford Johnson. At the time, a Union, who spent many werey hours at Topeka while still keeping up his work here. At last his persistence bore fruit and the bill was passed.
By means of a state organization which Glasse, as president of the K. U. County Club Union, formed at Christmas time, the work for the passage of the bill was pushed at all state educational institutions. In this way all schools to be affected by appropriation were given an interest in the amendment and took more of an active part in the campaign than ever before.
The Income Bill which was brought before the state legislature for the second time last winter, is briefly an amendment to the Kansas constitution. By means of this amendment, the state educational institutions of higher learning are able to make needed improvements in an easier manner than under the present slow system of the state legislature having to vote on every appropriation.
**STUDENTS MUST HELP**
A stable and always available fund for the running of these institutions is provided for in the amendment. Athletics has been known more than a couple of years in advance just how much money it was to have to pull through the school year on.
The alumni of K. U. are strongly behind the movement and at the meeting of the State Board of Administration in Lawrence, Monday, action is expected to be taken to place the merits of the amendment before the people of the state before election, barely two years away. Alumni of other state schools are expected to boost the amendment.
"Much work must be done by students here at the University between now and the next election if the bill is to be voted upon favorably," said Mr. Glasco, this morning. "One can readily see what a huge task is before both of us, the Club Union, and all men and women in state schools of the state, when the great size of the state is considered. To really be successful, every citizen must be reached and told the merits of the amendment."
Flags to Fly For Soldiers
Service flags will soon be flying in front of many of the fraternity houses and homes in Lawrence. The flag is red with a white center and the stars in the center denote the number of men in service from each department. Making an account is making the flags in two sizes, one for the homes and one for the business houses.
Miss Moody Takes Vacation
Miss Minnie Moody, secretary to the Chancellor, is in Wellington today, where she has gone for a vacation of two weeks. She has taken care of the work through the big office on the bill all summer without a halt.
The University Band will rehearse Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock in Fraser Chapel. Those who were assigned places in the line-up but were not present Wednesday night at rehearsal sessions on Saturday behaural, or their places will be tiled at once.
J. C. McCanles, Director.

Kansas Students Asked
To Help Out Second Loan
Students may be asked to take a part in furthering the war to a successful conclusion by subscribing to the new Liberty Loan Bonds in 2014. The new issue of the bonds will contain some as low as $5. These can be bought for $10, and at their maturity in five years with interest at the rate of 6% per annum.
The big drive during this new issue will be made upon the little fellow, instead of letting the rich class do it. It was pointed out that John D. Rockefeller did not have the money to pay for the bonds and had to borrow the money until he received dividends from his various stocks.
Kansan Board Changes Eligibility Requirement Will Admit Yearlings
Students In Other Schools Who Show Ability May Be Elected to Board
A competitive try-out, open to students in any school of the University, to fill positions on the Kansan Board was decided upon at the regular meeting of the board last night. The candidates are stepping to make the new position as the best University as possible, and to fortune this policy it was decided to allow any student who wished the benefit of newspaper work whether enrolled in the department or not, to do actual reporting on the Kansan. This could be filled at the semi-annual election January 17, and it behooves all ambitious writers to get into the reporting work and show the news editor and the Kansan Board that they have ability in newspaper work. The board will be made on a competitive basis of work done on the Kansan basis.
For several years the honor of membership to the board was limited to juniors and seniors. These restrictions have now been removed, but the open is open to anyone who demonstrates that he has a "nose for news."
The Kanas Board went on record as favoring compulsory military drill with credit for freshmen and sophomores and voluntary drill with credit for upperclassmen. In the present national crisis, it was argued, military drill might well replace compulsory gymnasium exercise, thus fitting students for active service in the war if called.
The present editors of the Kansan were re-elected to continue their duties for two weeks. It is customary for Kansan editors to hold their places for one month, but it was thought advisable not to change the executive staff of the paper just at the beginning of the school year.
K. U. Head Appointed On State Food Board
Herbert Hoover Gives Chancel lor Strong Place on Executive Committee
The following telegram was received by Chancellor Frank Strong this morning, from Herbert Hoover, national food administrator:
Washington, D. C.,
Upon nomination of H. J. Waters, federal food administrator of Kansas, I take pleasure to appoint you a member of the state campaign executive committee on food conservation earnest hope that you will serve.
Chancellor Strong immediately wired acceptance, and now holds one of the most important positions in regard to the food problem in Kansas. The committee mentioned in the telegram, works as an assistant to H. J. Waters, the student who administers the job, but no definite work appointed for the body as yet, but instructions from Herbert Hoover are expected at once.

"Mr. MacMillen is even better known than Mr. Spalding." said Dean Butler, "although this will be his first appearance in Lawrence.

Plan Farewell Dance And Chicken Pie Dinner For Company M Friday
Department of Home Economic Will Manage Party Tomorrow Night
One More Home "Dinner"
Students Will Give Boys Send Off At Santa Fe Station Sunday
The University students will be at the Santa Fe railroad station in a body early Sunday morning to give Company M a send off when the boys entrain for Ft. St. Okla. Although the exact hour the train will leave Lawrence is not known it is expected that time between six and eight o'clock.
Preparations for Company M's farewell dance and chicken pie dinner which will be given tomorrow night, were being completed today. The home economics department, which was responsible for tomorrow evening, sent out a call for donations of chickens today. Sixty pounds of chickens are needed to feed 150 soldiers, according to the figures of the head of the home economics department. So far the department has received a donation of a pound of chicken.
The officers in charge of the company had not received definite orders at a late hour today in regard to the entrainment. However, members of the company were busy packing books and other belongings which were scattered throughout the University gymnasium.
SIXTY CHICKENS NEEDED
The members of Company M, which have made the University campus their homes since August 5, will not regret much the order for breaking camp, which is expected to be received some time Saturday. Most of the members of the company are still week and a anxious to go to Ft. Pt. Sill where they expect to receive their first pay check.
Although the University authorities had no definite news as to when the Company M would leave Lawrence, they urged all students to keep within close touch with the company and to pass the word around when defiance is made. The company was made to give the students a half holiday if the company left during the week. Now that it is thought that the company will leave Sunday morning, June 13, there is to urge the students to be down to the train to see the soldiers off.
STUDENTS TO SEE SOLDIERS LEAVE
Kansas Student Called To National Army Ranks
Called from classroom to become a member of Uncle Sam's new army was the thrill experienced this morning by Thomas L. Crawford, c19, a student in journalism when he re-commissioned a board of Shawnee County, summoning him to appear for examination His home is in Topeka.
Under average conditions in his home county Crawford would not have been called until the second draft but Shawnee County holds the high record in the state for exemptions. The quota is about one hand and a few times that summer have been called, and the allotment is not filled vet.
Crawford has applied for musical work with the army Y. M, C. A, but has heard nothing from his application. It probably is too late now to receive an appointment as service in the army will take precedence.
The enrollment of the night class in debating under Howard T. Hill, assistant professor in the department of public speaking, is increasing daily. The class, which is open to both men and women, will start next week, the exact time to be announced later. Mr. Hill wishes to work his class into a club or organization similar to the Dramatic Club.
Tom is a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity and is well known on the Hill for his ability to pound out music on the piano. He is a composer of no mean ability. Last spring he published, "That's Not Enough for Me," "Bone Dry Blues" is in the hands of the publishers now while, "Farewell But Not Goodbye," a waltz is nearing completion.
To Hold Night Class
University Club Entertains
The University Club will hold an informa-
tion event at eight o'clock at their club house to receive all new members of the faculty and all "new comers" intimately concerned with the welfare of the old and new members in occasion as for the old and new members' faculty to get acquainted.

Mrs. Brown and Council Heads Announce Rules Of Student Regulation
Open Dances On Black List
Dancing Permit Rule Will Be Observed Strictly This Year
Only Parties Given By Men's Council May Be Labeled "Varsity"
So many new students and freshmen are in the University this year that Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women, and the two presidents of the Men and Women's councils, decided to inform the students of the rules of respect and responsibility in organizational and especially in regard to dances.
Last year there were many violations of these rules and, in order to save students the embarrassment of being called before the Student Disciplinary Committee, the following regulations are published:
I. No student or group of students may give a dance during a session of the University until written permission is obtained from the Committee on Student Interests.
II. Permission will be granted after application to the Chairman of the Committee on Student Interests, and after satisfying the Committee that the following regulations will be observed:
(1) All dancing parties must be properly chaperoned and the names of the chaperons given to the Adviser prior to the dance. There will be days before the dance is to be given.
(2) During a regular session of the University no student or group of students may give or attend a dancing party in Lawrence, which is thrown open to the public indiscriminately at a fixed price.
III. Dancing parties may be given only on Friday and Saturday nights or on nights immediately preceding a school holiday. All dancing parties must close at 12 o'clock, excepting the Junior Prom, Sophomore Hop, Law Scrim, and the so-called formals designated for or designated by the Committee on Student Interests, which shall close at 2 o'clock.
A dancing party is understood to be a dance (1) in the morning; or (2) in the afternoon; or (3) in the even-

N. A. A. Board Plans For This Year's Work
At the first meeting of the Women's Athletic Association board yesterday, plans were made to launch a membership campaign next week. All women in the University are eligible for membership in the association and it is expected that the membership will reach at least 600.
The tennis tournament will be held during October. Those desiring to enter must sign up with Miss Hazel Deiss, in Reinhard Gymnasium. Two teams and a team will be run for first time in the history of the University. Hockey is one of the most popular of sports in many of the Eastern schools. Basketball practice will follow hockey.

The swimming pool has been crowded for the last week and many entries have been made for the swimming tournament. Women competing in athletics at the University Memorial cards admit all women's athletic events during the year. Election of officers for this year will be held in November.
Scott Chosen New Head Of College of Emporia
Charles F. Scott of Iola, a member of the board of the College of Emporia, has been elected temporary president to fill the place of Dr. H. C. Culbertson, resigned. Mr. Scott accepted the appointment as president only upon condition that a permanent president should be selected at the earliest possible date, and also with the understanding that his competencies, be a candidate for the permanent position.

Military Training In Colleges Gets Boost
The necessity of inaugurating a course in military training at the University appears all the more necessary when the plans of the war department for the third training camp have been announced. No more student officers will be chosen from civilians but instead ninety per cent of these will be selected from the enlisted ranks of the army, the national guard and the regular army. The other ten per cent will be drawn from colleges which have courses of military instruction. The changes in the plans were for the purpose of giving a drafted man the chance to win a commission.
Plain Tales From The Hill
Prof. E. M. Hopkins of the department of English, has a series of rules he is going to print on how to say "Hello," without saying "Hello," on this Hill.
Needless to say, the use of Hello so much has grown tiresome to Professor Hopkins and oftimes he is tempted to make them another form of greeting is used.
They do say he is writing another set of rules for his theme table cover which will include forms of greetings and other forms to get the students other than the trite Hello.
Comes now the freshman engineer with the bright thought of putting an endless stairway up the Fourteenth street hill just like they have in some of the department stores in the city.
And the sophomore journalists thought of this last year in their theses on a tunnel or some other means of access to the Hill.

You often hear of the ladies being hard-hearted. But here's one who takes the cookie. She is openly boastful she hasn't written home for two days.
Lloyd McHeenry, employment secretary of the University Y. M. C. A. has found a brand new way to earn money. He has a few old jobs open and money and money can be earned by taking these old jobs and working on them.
Even if that rain did get your shoes wet there is comfort in the thought that the soldiers didn't have to drill yesterday. Be not a slacker.
It might be that the Pi Upsilon lads have struck a gasser in their front yard and are advertising their wares. For hill goers undoubtedly have noticed a bright flame shooting out of a hole in the ground. But close investigation shows a broken city gas main below the Pi Upsilon lads by setting the escaping gas on fire. And why not, for there is no meter attached.

First Football Rally For Illinois Game Oct.5 Cheerleader Announces
Freshmen to Wear Caps On Day of Normal Game
Uncle Jimmy Is Optimistic
Rusty Friend Plans More Work For The Thundering Thousand
Rusty believes no football team can go through a successful season unless the rooters show they are back of it, and he proposes to organize his cohorts into such a lively and peppery bunch that the team will feel fighting Nebraska. Oklahoma, Missouri and the others to a stand-tall.
Cheerleader Rusty Friend is busy mapping out a program for the 1917 campaign of the Thundering Thousand; while Coach Herman Olcott is busy every afternoon on Hamilton Field, whipping his blue-clad warrior into shape for the first contest of the U. U. football season with Illinois.
"What we want," the cheerleader said this morning, "is a rooting section of the type of fellows who went to Lincoln last fall and literally drowned out the big Nebraska crowd with their cheers. With that gang helping the eleven, we'll whip every team in the valley."
"Coach Hamilton tells me prospects are good for a Jayhawker football team this fall, in spite of many of last year's stars leaving to serve their country," said Uncle Jimmy Green, dean of K. U. football, following a short talk with the manager of University athletics.
"There's Frost, Pringle, Scruby Laslett, Shinn, Rubn, Gorrill, Captain Nielsen, Nettles, Doc Marquis, Woody, Hull, and Lonborg, all men of the Varsity or comers in the Varsity game," Hamilton said. "Then Liggert, Idol, Mandeville, and Jones seem to be promising men from the Varsity team, but there are possibly Miner and Martin are expected to return to try for the team."
At convocation October 5, "Rock Chalk" and other yellers will be given, while the "Crismon and the Blue" will be sung. The team will leave for Urbana, Illinois that night at eight-forty o'clock and Friend plans to give the boys a big送笛one—that will make them fight for their lives against Zuppke's big Western Conference eleven.
He wants every student on the Hill to be on the Santa Fe platform at eight o'clock October 5, and join in the noise-making. He wants the old Jayhawker spirit to show itself there and keep on showing itself until the Tiger's tail is twisted on Thanksgiving Day.
The first night rally of the season will be October 12, before the Normal game. The freshmen will have a chance to display their little caps the next morning, when they play against South Carolina with the band, all the available automobiles and the Normal and K. U. football squads, to march to McCook Field.
That same evening, the big nighthirt parade will form in front of Fraser Hall and, headed by the University band, will march past Brick Street and celebrate the first home victory of the men of Olcott.
"I want every man and woman in the University to show their loyalty and co-operate with me in making this year a red letter year in the history," he said. The leader said in summing up his plans. Kansas football prospects took a boom this morning when Stem Foster, the Varsity quarterback last year, arrived at the University to enroll. He wore a big smile and said he would out for the team. He will be out in this afternoon on Hamilton Field.
Season athletic tickets for this year probably will not be ready for sale until October 5. The order for the tickets has been in for several weeks, according to Hamilton. They are expected from the printer any day.
Season Athletic Tickets
Go On Sale In October
There will be just as many attractions as there were last year, forty, including four at-home football games. The price will be the same, $5.
Orchestra Tryouts Tonight
University orchestra practice will be held at 7:30 o'clock in front of Fraser Chapel, under the direction of Prof. F. E. Kendrie. This is the first all students who play orchestral instruments are invited to try on tonight.
