CUT CREDITS FOR CUTTING CLASSES
Faculty Would Curb the Eager Homeseeker; Action May Be Taken
TEMPLIN FAVORS PLAN
Disciplinary Committee Is Considering Adoption of Rule
Cuts from class before and after Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday this year: will be heavily purchased should a resolution drafted by the College faculty at a meeting yesterday and referred to the disciplinary committee for consideration, come effective. The recommendation is that for every class cut immediately before or after holidays shall result in the credits of the student for the year being cut one hour. Should the freshman over eager for home leave school a day early, and should return home the next evening, setting three classes, the results of his semester's work would be docked three hours.
Another means of preventing such cuts, considered by the faculty members, was that of counting every such cut as three cuts, and by many this was considered as much too mild as the other plan was too strong.
The matter will be threshed out by the disciplinary committee, and some recommendation is expected to be made to the Senate, in the hands of the enforcement of discipline is place, before the Thanksgiving holidays.
This was considered rather drastic by the majority of members of the college faculty, but some means of preventing holiday cuts is imperative. The system of docking grades is effective in many schools, and in some a immediately before or after a holiday automatically flunks the tests.
"Without question we need some means of preventing students from cutting classes before and after holidays," Dean Olin Templin of the College declared this morning. "Adequate time is given before and after all holidays for students to reach and return from their homes, and the is because students will become virtually a habit with some students in the school, of leaving a day early and returning a day or two late at Thanksgiving and Christmas."
MEN CAN'T KEEP SECRETS
"The students are given ten day, in which to reach their homes before Christmas," Prof. U. G. Mitchell chairman of the college faculty examiners, and there positively can be for taking an additional day or two. Of course we don't know when the report of the disciplinary committee will be made, but probably it will be given the Senate before Thanksgiving. While many members of the faculty think the system of cutting student's credits one hour for every classminimum may be necessary, faculty are unanimous in their belief that some strong punishment should be given those who cut at such a time."
Printer and Caterer Disclose Secrets of Matinee
Even the men couldn't keep a secret when it came to the W. A. matinee, to be given in Robinson Gymnasium, to be taken from three until five-thirty o'clock.
And the college caterer breathed just a word about the refreshments to this effect, it's not eider and it's not ice cream but it's going to be good.
The confidential printer who is doing the programs just couldn't keep still when he saw the unusual list of new entertaining dances that will vary the usual pigeon walk and one step
The man who got the contract for the music, was so flattered that he had to tell just enough to be tanti-lizing. He whispered to the music clerk as he bought a new G string, "I am going to play tomorrow afternoon, three of us are going to play for that classy manless dance on the Hill."
The women of the faculty will be guests and the women students are making dates. The blue W. A. A. The green W. A. A. The heaver, free others will pay 25c.
Eustace Brown, Mrs. Charles
Ashton and Mr. S. O. Rice will be the
winners.
Talks to Chemical Society
Doctor Cady talked on "Some Modern Views of the Atom" before the Kansas City section of the American Chemical Society in the Chemistry Building last Saturday afternoon. He reviewed some of the recent work and theories on radio activity and allied subjects and the theories based upon these results concerning the nature of atoms.
KANSAS DEBATER CHOSEN
FIRST ON CHICAGO TEAM
Howard T. Hill, formerly instructor in public speaking in the University, and at present doing graduate work in law at the University of Chicago, won first place in the tryouts recently for the university of Chicago debating team.
The competition over which Mr. Hill won his place was the keeper that could be found in the West, for the majority of those who tried out were graduate students, all of whom were experienced learners from schools in the Middle West.
This is the third consecutive year that a man from the University of Kansas has had a place on the debating team of the University of Chicago, and will for the training our debaters receive in the department of public speaking.
FRESHMEN HOLD LIVELY MEETING
Discuss Activities for First year Men—Other Meetings to Follow
"A好 lively meeting" was the way Mark Adams, president of the freshman class, put it when asked about the freshman rally in Snow Hall last night, the first "get-to- together" meeting of the frosh.
Cheerleader Gedney gave a short talk on "Naughty Rallies" and Thomas Dewey spoke on the "Armenian Relief," Every man of the freshman class is asked to place his contribution in an envelope, mark it "Freshman." The freshman, Registrar's office. The freshman women will be solicited through a separate campaign under the direction of Mabel Fallis, secretary of the class.
Plans for the freshman dance in Robinson Gymnasium, November 29 were discussed by Mark Adams and Ray Farrell, chairman of the social committee. This party on the eve of University students.
The discarding of freshman caps, and the advisability of freshmen refusing to "line up" when ordered to do so by upperclassmen, were discussed, but no definite action was taken.
SCORE NUMERAL PAINTERS
Other live wire speeches on class spirit and unity were given by dif- ferent speakers.
SCORE NUMERAL PAINTERS
The indignation was expressed in view of the president, human numerals on campus walks, but the guilty persons have not been apprehended "A high school prank," was any one speaker designated the affair.
Because of the interest shown in last night's rally, a number of similar meetings will be planned for the One hundred and fifty men attended.
NO DAMAGE BILLS IN YET
Rally Saturday Is Thus Far Int expensive
expensive
No bills for damage done by students in the rally Saturday night have yet been presented to the city commission it was said at the city clerk's office today. Yesterday morning the commission voted not to assume any responsibility for the damage done by the protester, and the director will be taken up with Chancellor Frank Strong and the University Senate.
Last year bills amounting to nearly $100 were sent to the commission and paid by the president to the Men's Student Council and the damage was paid by that organization.
As long as no bills are presented it is probable that the matter will not come before the attention of the University body. It was feared by many to have been closed by the students Saturday night would be presented to the city officials.
A Correction
FRANK STRONG. Chancellor.
Through an error in last night's Kansan the name of Leland Wilson was included in the list of those on duty. The name should have been W. H. Wilson.
The regular all University Assembly will come on Friday morning at 10:10; and at the request of the President of the Men's Student Council and of the cheer leader, it seems to me that the period run until 12:20 and classes for those periods to be dismissed. All other classes during the day will be held as usual. Will deans and instructors please take notice.
Signed.

Dinners, Smokers and Parades Will While Away the House
WELCOME M.U. TO ALL BUT VICTORY
KANSAS SPIRIT REVIVES
Special Trains Scheduled for Rooters, Guests and Alumni
Big plans are being made by the student body which has appointed itself an entertainment committee protem to entertain properly the visiting alumni and Missouri followers who will be in Lawrence and on the Hill for the game Thanksgiving Day and the week end.
The various fraternities and sororites have many dances and dinners planned for the week. Practically every house will be open for the holidays for their alumni and Missouri guests.
The old Kansas spirit which has provided entertainment in the past will be here again to help the Missouri folks feel at home. In other words, the followers from the land of Tigers will be welcome to everything but victory. But victory is reserved for the Jayhawk. Homecoming Day will bring the thousands of old grads back who will aid in the entertainments and the grades are entertaining the folks. Concurrently they will be entertained by the seniors of the University at a smoker Wednesday evening.
The homecoming parade in the morning at ten-thirty o'clock will start things moving. This parade for which plans have already been made and work is under way will surpass everything. In the afternoon the stellar business of the year will take place at two-thirty o'clock with the game between Tiger and Jayhawk. The Kansas band will play, the Misson band will entertain, and the Jayhawk will cavort.
PARADE IN MORNING
Missouri is sending at least one thousand rooters up for the game. Kansas City will send her hundreds on the special trains which are scheduled. Kansas alumni will pour in on every train from the west and east with plenty of the stuff that has made the University famous.
The merchants will decorate their stores and windows and the streets with the colors and pennants appropriate to the honoring of the Tiger and the Jayhawk. The men from Missouri will be welcome to everything but victory. That belongs to Kansas.
The Associated Journalism students will meet at 8 o'clock tomorrow night in the Kansan office. Important business.
WILL NOT GO TO PURDUE
Cross Country Team Will Not Enter Western Conference
Probably not more than six men will be entered in the K. C. A. C. meet the Saturday after Thanksgiving, Welsh, Stateler, Groene, and several freshmen will be sent down to Kansas City by Coach Hamilton. Four medals will be given in shirts, Missle scores will count, Haskell, Mississippi and Oklahoma will have men entered Grady, a senior and cross country man in the University last year, will run in the meet under the K. C. A. C. colors.
The K. U. cross country team will not be entered in the Western Conference meet at Purdue, Saturday, November 25, owing to the poor showing of several players. Several men appeared to be in poor condition on the day before the meet, only Statler running true to form. Heavy academic work is another reason for the trip not being made this year, and it was noted in the Conference meet last year.
...
The next run, the K. C. A. C. meet,
is the only meet left on the schedule
for this fall. Many of the men are
resting up in order to be in shape for
the indoor track work which starts
the first week in December.
"Know your University," says Prof. Arthur C. Terrill, of the department of mining engineering, "and start by visiting the Chemistry Building at 4:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Professor Cady will make your visit well worth while with a liquid air demon straitron."

LECTURE AT SECOND VISIT
This is the second of a series of visits that have been planned to the different departments by Professor Terrill.
OVER-CONFIDENCE MAY HURT KANSAS
Tendency Is To Under-Estimate Strength of Tiger Team
Team
COACHES ARE WATCHING
Practice for the Thanksgiving Game Goes Ahead Slowly and Carefully
Overconfidence, the thing that was chiefly responsible for Missouri's victory over Kansas on McCook Field in 1014, is the only "jinx" on the Jayhawker horizon now. There is a grave danger that both the players and the rooters will over-estimate the strength of the Kansans, and fail to consider the challenges the man which Missouri will send to Lawrence on Thanksgiving Day.
The Kansas coaches are fully ally to that danger, and they expect a hard game with the Tigers. The mere fact that Kansas played the best game of her season against the Cornhuskers last Saturday does not mean she is that Missouri can be easy handled, but strong team this year, regardless of the fact that they lost to the Kansas Aggies. Furthermore, their scouts have seen nearly every Kansas game this season, and they have an excellent line on the Jayhawker style of play. Lastly, the Missouri regulars will go into the Thanksgiving game this season, and they have taken things easy last Saturday, their second string men defeated Drake 14 to 0.
NO SCRIMMAGE YESTERDAY
A long signal drill and practice in tackling the dummy and running down punts were the chief numbers on the program at Hamilton Field yesterday. No scrimgimage was held, as Coach McCarty's freshmen have not yet perfected the Missouri plays which they plan to use in the coming practice games with the regulars. Late in the offseason there were closes the gates and tried out a number of formations which are to be used on Turkey Day.
An interested spectator at the practice yesterday was the father of Jick Fast. Mr. Fast had never seen his son in action, and he was much interested in the work of the little halfback. Jick's father and brother will both be here on Thanksgiving to see the Missouri game.
VALLEY CHAMPIONSHIP UNERTAIN Victory over the Tigers will not give the Jayhawkers a clear title to the valley championship, owing to the fact that every team in the conference has been defeated at least once this season. A victory over Kansas would undoubtedly give Missouri sufficient claim to the championship to claim victory, but the matters still will be in doubt. Missouri victory only promises to muddle the matter further. The difficulty arises from the fact that the conference ruling provides no means of giving the title to a team that has not won all of its games during the season.
CHANGE REQUIREMENTS?
Bachelor of Science Degree Possible on 120 Hours
A faculty committee under the direction of Dean Kelly of the School of Education is working on the curriculum endeavoring to devise a means of granting a Bachelor of Science degree on a basis of 120 hours' work as is now required for a Bachelor of Arts degree, instead of 123 hours.
"The University of Kansas is in a class by itself," said Dean Kelly this morning "as far as granting B. S. degrees are concerned. Other schools grant the two degrees on the same basis.
"One trouble with our system is that in order to receive both a B. S. and a Master's degree one must duplicate his work and as a result a student should have a Master's degree and not a Bachelor of Science degree, rather than duplicate.
"The results of the committee working on the curriculum will be put up to the faculty as a whole to decide what it and it is hoped that this matter will be settled before the general catalogues go to press next month."
Skilton Gives Recital
An original composition will be the feature of Prof. Charles S. Skilton's organ recital in Fraser Hall tomorrow at 8:15 p.m. The Legend of the Organ Builder is the name of the selection which Professor Skilton has written himself, and which he will give at therecipient. Mrs. Florence Butler will read the poem by the same name on which Professor Skilton's music is based. The concert is open to the University and the public.

There is also a threefold call to the alumni in an array of activities to organize them and bring them in closer touch with the University.
The needs of the University are explained with reference to the campaign for a permanent endowment. Another feature is the picture of the students of 1891 with a story of the lives of each of the members. Coach Olcott has an article favoring a summer school for the coaching of athletics.
TO SELECT LATER DATE OF MEETING
Convocation for County Clubs Will be Held December 8 in Fraser Hall
The All-University convocation to be held Friday by the County Club Union to boost the Permanent Income Bill movement has been postponed until December 8. On account of the recent death of father of owner Villarso Glascio president of the County Club, it was considered better to hold the convocation at a later date.
The next meeting of the County Club Union will be held in Fraser Chapel, Tuesday, November 28, at seven-thirty o'clock. Every delegate of the Union is requested to represent his county at this meeting, because a large amount of important business has been interested in the fight for the Permanent Income Bill are invited to attend the meeting.
Plans will be adopted for forwarding the movement of the Income Bill, and for the entertainment of visitors during Mothers' and Fathers' week The Mothers' and Fathers' week—the first week in December—will celebrate the semi-centennial of the founding of the University.
If any county in the University has not selected a delegate, the president is to represent the county in the until a delegate is elected. Any county organized is asked to do so at once and send its delegate to the meeting.
ADVANCE SALE
BREAKS RECORD
Interest in Big Game Causes
Early Seat Sale—Missouri
Coming
The advance sale of seats for the Missouri-Kansas game marks a new record in the history of K. U. athletics. There have been 3,200 seats sold in the south bleachers, 2,200 in the north bleachers and 1,600 according to the report given by W O. Hamilton, manager of athletics, his morning.
The importance of this game in determining the championship of the Missouri Valley and the general implemntion is that hardest fought games of the year is said to be responsible for the large seat sale. The confidence displayed by the Kansas rooters in the team is shown by the heavy sale to students. The Missourians are coming en masse to the sale in Columbia is any indication.
"This sale of tickets surpasses all previous records," said Manager Hamilton today, "Of course they were put on sale a little earlier this year than usual and this may have something to do with the enormous sale. This leaves only 7,000 seats to be taken and if the sale continues in the meantime, as it has in the past, the remaining seats will not last long."
Students have been urged by Manager Hamilton to secure tickets for people at home early as indications the game will be hard to find on the day of the game.

WILL CELEBRATE HUSKER DEFEAT
Chancellor Sets Aside Two Periods Next Friday for Grand Rally
BIGGEST PEPFEST OF YEAR
Loyal Jayhawkers Duty-bound to Attend—Uncle Jimmy on Program
The cry for a chance for all the students to get together and have one grand rally in celebration of the victory of the Cornhuskers has been unserved.
EVERYONE TO STAND
Chancellor Strong has granted the request of "Skin" Greecer, president of the Student Council, and Cheerleader "Keenny" Gedney for a two-hour recess during the hours from 10:20 to 12:30 Friday for the biggest rally of the school year, to be held in Gymnasium. There will absolutely be no attendance for the hours, and it is the wish of the chancellor, as well as the students who are planning the rally, that every man and woman come out.
No chairs will be placed in the big auditorium on the second floor of the gym, but the main floor will be cleared so as to hold the crowd. A small platform will be erected at one end of the hall for the speakers of the day, a major feature of the students and former football stars. Uncle Jimmy will probably make his first appearance of the year at this time, and "Bill" Pattt, one of the most feared backfield men in the Missouri team in the early 90's will be on the program.
There is some talk of a "paddle squad" being organized to do their duty towards any man who takes the pitch. Bill will while the rally is on in the gym.
Immediately following the rally there will be a big parade in which the school and town celebrities will take part. Plans of those in charge of the parade indicate that this will be a much bigger affair than the one that opens the football season in the fall.
AGAINST NAUGHTY RALLIES
"It is the special request of the Student Council that no unorganized demonstrations, to break into classes, be started before 10:20," said President Greene this morning. "There will be plenty of opportunity for everyone to show his school spirit during the two hours that the rally is in session, and the council will stand behind any movement to punish the offenders in case of a premature outburst of rowdyism."
Cheerleader Gedney said in regard to the rally: "We can win or lose the Missouri game right at this rally. We are going to be the Coworkers that is no sign that the Tigers will be easy. They will fight all the harder now that we have a big victory to our credit, and that is an item that we cannot afford to forget.
FACULTY THERE TOO
"Every man and woman in the student body and the faculty will be asked to participate in the rally, and the mere fact that we can't provide autos for all to ride in should not keep a single person from marching in the parade. There will be special men and women, and we want to show this town and the whole state that Kansas Spirit is still rampant.
Definite plans and the program for the rally in the gym are not ready as yet, but an event of how of the whole affair will be announced in tomorrow night's Kansan.
METROPOLITES TO DANCE
Wyandotte Students Will Have Holiday Party
The Jayhawker spirit, stimulated by a Nebraska victory and by that time further animated by the humbling of Missouri, will break loose in March after Christmas when Wyndotte students will give a Varsity parry there.
Union Club hall has been engaged for December 27. Music direct from Mount Oread will inject college spirit into the metropolis.
grads in the city will join with 150 and 165 homes for the holidays in a K. U. demonstration that will make every high school student in the city aspire to enroll at the University of Kansas. Details of the party will be worked up later Thursday afternoon, when all students from the city are urged to be there.
The Oregon Emerald breaks into poetry in a warning of the dire consequences that might follow if the seventeen loose boards in the sidewalk leading to the library are not immediately repaired.
