LIKES THE WEST MORE THAN EAST
Chancellor Strong Returns From Busy Week in Washington and New York
HE VISITED WITH THORPE
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 21, 1916
As president of the federation of universities Chancellor Strong represented that organization at a meeting of the directors of the Carnegie Foundation and plans were left in the hands of a committee to take the final action on an insurance and annuity proposal for university professors, to take the place of the allowance system now in use.
Saturday, Chancellor Strong went in the same capacity as delegate to the research council of the American Academy of Science which President Wilson called in regard to the approval of a bill that is now pending calling for appropriations for engineering research at certain institutions. The matter was left to a committee.
Chancellor Strong reports a pleasant visit with Merle Thorpe, former head of the department of journalism, in Washington. A large autumn editorial that editing the "National Business" is profitable for Mr Thorpe.
Had Talk With Former Dean of K. U. Journalists, Now In Washington
At the convention of the representatives of the various Universities, matters of interest relative to the universities were discussed. Papers pro and con are read on such topics as "Fraternities at the Universities"; Democracy; Human Rights; Systems at the many universities were discussed and an effort was made to arrive at the best method of control.
"New York is a place of grandeur and the cities of the East thrill with their enormity, but with all their people and all of their show that is worth it. New York is desirable and Lawrence even a better place to live in than New York."
The news of the Jayhawk victory was one of the big incidents of the trip, according to the Chancellor. It was received by Surgeon Dr. William at Pittsburgh and it made the Chancellor "still more anxious to get back to Kansas."
W.A.A. MATINEE SATURDAY
That was the way Chancellor Strong put it when he arrived on the hill this morning after spending two weeks in the east, during which time he attended the annual meeting of the Association of institutions of educational leaders in Washington and New York were held after the regular session.
Women's Enthusiasm Burst the Bubble of Secrecy
Again it has been proved that a woman cannot keep a secret. Try as the Women's Athletic Association would to keep its plans for a big party unknown, somebody dropped something.
Summing up the bits scattered by the burst of the huge bubble of womanish enthusiasm, the report is this: A W. A. Mattee, *Groundwater*, Geology, Saturday afternoon, November 25, from three until five-thirty o'clock.
It will be a real party; the main floor will be used for dancing; the decorations promise to give distinction to the first mannequin in the display. The installations will not be an imitation of anything previously served on the Hill.
A meeting of the English Club will be held Friday afternoon in Fraser Hall, where the club will discuss the type of literature that is best adapted to the needs of freshmen in the University.
All members of the W. A. A. and their friends are invited.
The English Club, composed of professors and instructors in the department of English, is starting out with excellent prospects this club has had a varied history because of irregularity of its meetings.
ENGLISH CLUB WILL MEET
FRIDAY IN FRASER HALI
At a recent meeting, Herbert Flint, instructor of English, who spent the summer in Europe, gave an interesting lecture concerning his trip.
Laws Busy With Quizzes
The middle laws are holding their quarterly examinations today. The senior and junior laws were examined last week and will finish today. Doctor Burdick's classes expect a holiday yesterday on account of the Nebraska game. Because of the "naughty rally," however, they were behind and were not dismissed.

JAYHAWK GOING TIGER HUNTING
Good Scrap Looked for on Thanksgiving—Valley Title Muddled
The "hunch" that Kansas would properly twist the Tigers tail Thanksgiving was doubly enforced by the triumph of Kansas Saturday when they held a rally in Fresno and packed the seven to three victory over he vaunted Cornhuskers.
Coach Olcott is looking for a close game with the Missouriians on Thanksgiving day and the fact that his team played the game of the year Saturday does not lead him to success, but it did enable easily. Kansas has a powerful team but it must also be considered that Missouri has no imitation of the real thing. Missouri fell before the Kansas Angies when dope favored the former and that one defeat is going to do much toward making the Kansas in a real battle. The Missourians are expected to show the fight of the year.
14 is hard to tell what Coen ... dian" Schulte will spring on the Kansas men next week. Hewitnessed the Cornhusker tangle in Lincoln and gained many ideas of the prowess of the Hawker while filling his notebook with plays. After the game he issued instructions to the Kansas was powerful in all departments of the game and that weight would count on Thanksgiving Day.
A victory over the Tiger on Thanksgiving Day may not settle the Valley title. Every team in the Valley has been defeated at least once this year by a wild-card team, but the title is in a bad muddle and comparative scores will count in the dope. Kansas will have a good claim and if a reasonably large score is recorded the claim will doubtless be recognized. At the present time Nebraska, Ames, Oklahoma, and are asking the title as they have each been defeated only once.
"We're going to twist the Tiger's tail." This is now the motto of every Jayhawker. "It is just such enthusiasm as this combined with the real team work of the squad that is going to carry the crimson and the blue to their Thanksgiving victory," said Cheerleader Gedney today.
"All together now we're going to beat Missouri!"
DEBATING TEAM READY FOR N. U.
Kansas Squad Chosen Last Night to Combat With Huskers
The teams chosen to debate against Nebraska are: affirmative, Harold M. Nelson, Leah Lohan Wilson; negative, W. O. Hake, Lyle Anderson, and Edwin Price.
"Kansas expects to win as spectacular a victory from Nebraska in debate as she did last Saturday on the football field," said O. H. Burns, of the department of public speaking, who had to do it, for the members of the team selected last night from the squad show promise of being winners."
The debate will probably be held on December 13, but the time has not been definitely set. The affirmative team will contest Nebraska's negative in Fraser Chapel; the Kansas negative team will go to Lincoln.
"Mattoon is probably the most experienced debater in the University, having been on the University team for several years," said Mr. Burns. "Brown was the best debater at Baker during the time he was there, and Price has represented the University twice in debate. Hale has been pro-taker in debates, Anderson is a former squad man and while Wilson has never been on a University team before, he has been showing unusual ability."

STUDENTS WORK FOR K.C. PAPERS
Two K. U. Journalists Cover Walkers' Speech for Star and Journal
ALL TIGERS ARE AFRAID OF FIRE
The K. U. department of journalism had another opportunity to demonstrate its ability in the field of practical newspaper work last night. Through arrangements made by Prof. S. O. Rice, director of publicity, Glen Swarmer, W. W. Wilson and L.B. Flinten, students in the department of journalism, reported the address given last night by P. F. Walker Dean of the School of Engineering, before the Kansas City Kansas Merchantile Club, for the Kansas City Star and Journal.
Professor Rice aranged the trip and hopes to have others in the future in order that the journalism students may have opportunities to see and do newspaper work in its true and scientific sense.
"The state of Kansas is destined to become as important in the future as a manufacturing state as it has been an agricultural state in the past," said Dean Walker in his address last night.
Since 1908 the value of the manufactured products of Kansas has exceeded the value of her agricultural products by several thousand dollars. In addition, the population of Dean Walker that the population of the sixteen important manufacturing counties of the state is increasing rapidly while the population of the state remains stable.
It has been shown that in communities where there is a diversity of industries the population and property valuation will continue to increase almost indefinitely while if there is but a single industry a point is eventually reached where this increase will cease and a decrease will begin.
NO MORE FROZEN RADIATORS;
C. W. SEIBEL FINDS REMEDY
At the present time the meat packing industry leads in Kansas industries with flour milling, railroad repairing, zinc smelting and dairy products following in the order named. Dean Walker is making a great
A mixture to prevent automobile radiators from freezing has been worked out by C. W. Seibel, instructor in the department of chemistry. The mixture suggested by Mr. Seibel contains 10 per cent glycerin, 30 per cent alcohol, and 60 per cent water. It has been proved in both laboratory and practical use that this preparation can substitute the radiator. The glycerin prevents freezing and lessens the evaporation of the alcohol. One portion of glycerin will last all winter, but the alcohol will have to be renewed occasionally.

Many of the anti-freezing radiator preparations offered to the public contain ingredients which corrode the radiator and damage the rubber connections between radiator and engine. Mr. Seibel analyzed one of these solutions, which sells for $1.00 a gallon. It proved to be salt and water and cost the producer about five cents to prepare.
BRAKIE FORGETS BOYHOOD DAYS
Ten Student Hoboes on Baker Flyer Detrained Ten Miles Out
As a young boy after reading a detective story or a Diamond Dick stage coach robbery tale thinks of being a sleuth or a bandit, so ten University boys after reading the brilliant account of hoboing it to Nebraska, turned bums and beat it to Baldwin on a freight.
We have been unable to learn why they picked on Baldwin, but it is surmised that it was on account of the convention that was in session there.
At any rate, the ten fellows suc-
cessfully put in a box car

Toward night they bounced another train which was headed toward Lawrence. On this train there was no row of cars, so the car on top of a flat ear loaded with coal.
Not wishing to have their hobo succee
bilehighted, they mounted a coal car.
But life is not all a dream, even to the listless soldier of the road. While yet ten miles from Lawrence, a conscientious brakey meandered down to the human-laden coal car. He was unable to collect water from the road so he caused the train to stop long enough to detrain ten pieces of human freight.
The attempts of the college men to entrain again were futile. Two hours after the assault, she discouraged men hoofed it into Lawrence, a dejected-looking aggregation.
Plan Important Events Tonight in Snow Hall
FROSH HOLD FIRST RALLY
The initial "get-together" meeting of the freshman class will take place in Snow Hall this evening from seven to eight o'clock. This marks the first day of '20, and a large number of the "yearlings" are expected to be present.
An appropriate program has been planned for the evening. Cheerleader: Gedney and Mark Adams, president of the freshman class, will give short talk on the course to be made during the "rally" by prominent members of the first-year class.
"The biggest event of the meeting will be the discussion of our plans for the future," said Mark Adams this month. "We have a number of important matters, and I hope that every man in the freshman class will be there tonight."
Plans for celebrating the discarding of freshman caps will undoubtedly be taken up this evening. It is rumored that the first-year men are going to another event which they refuse to talk of before the meeting.
Naismith at Y. M. Tonight
Dr. J. M. Naismith of the department of physical training will address the Y. M. C. A. at the regular meeting in Myers Hall at 7 o'clock tonight
His lecture will deal with moral conditions on the border during the time that the National Guard was encamped there. The activity of Doctor Naismith and his men in checking for insurgents in Kuwait has made the Kansas Guard one of the most highly commended on the border.
GOVENOR CAPPER TO TALK
AT THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH
Gov. Arthur Capper will speak at the Christian Church Sunday morning at nine o'clock at the special celebration of "girls and girls" Rally Day for America."
"the subject of the talk will be some patriotic topic," said Registrar George Foster this morning, "and will give students a point of interest to the University students."
The Haskell Institute band will give a concert of one-half hour during the services.
ARMENIAN FUND GROWS DAILY
Relief Committee Now Soliciting Faculty and Students This Week
The Armenian relief campaign is slowly getting under way and it is hoped that every student at the University will have been given an opportunity to contribute to the cause by the last of this week.
The work of soliciting the student body is being done under the direction of Mona Clare Hoffman, a member of the Armenian relief committee. The aid of the various class organizations has been enlisted and the class officers started yesterday morning to appoint committees to do the work. Each committee has a number of persons, so that the work will not be difficult.
Letters were sent out late last week to the members of the faculty asking for their contributions and the responses are now coming in. About twenty have been heard from and their contributions amounted to more than $100. No plans for the latter amount are forthcoming, either after awaiting the outcome of the present solicitation of the students and faculty.
The committee intends to give a benefit party in the gymnasium later. This entertainment will be furnished by various University organizations.
WEDELL TO FILL
PULPIT SUNDAY
Second of Series of Lectures By University Men In North Lawrence
The second of the series of lectures by members of the University faculty in North Lawrence will be given by Hugo Wedell, of the University Y. M. C. A., Sunday, November 26. The lectures are made from the pulpit of the North Lawrence Christian Church.
Prof. A. C. Terrill, of the department of mining, spoke last Sunday on "Am I My Brother's Keeper?" Mr. subject has not yet been announced.
The third talk, by Registrar George Foster, will be given December 3, and Dean F. J. Kelly, of the School of Education, will complete the series.
Special music will be furnished by University students. Edna Engle, a K. U. graduate, is organizing a chorus to sing at the services.
CITY DADS CHECK RALLY
BILLS UP TO K. U. SENATE
The city commissioners in regular session this morning agreed not to claim any responsibility for property destroyed in student rallies. The matter will be taken up with Chancellor Strong and the University Senate at once and reparation of some sort made for the property owner is another act of the Nebraska game. Few bills have been presented by the merchants for damages but many are expected within a few days.
Among the property burned by the students Saturday night while celebrating the victory were piano boxes, a wagon wheel, empty barrels and other properties of a similar nature. The amount of the bills could not be estimated today.
The disciplinary committee of the University Senate will be asked to determine ways and means of handling future rallies and disturbances.
PROF. C. A. SHULL SPEAKS

TEAM IS IN FINE TRIM FOR MIZZO
Injuries Brought Back From Lincoln Vanishing; Training for Big Game Starts
PRACTICE TO BE SECRET
Freshmen, Coached on Missouri Plays, Will Give Varsity Stiff Workouts
Foster, who has been bothered with a bad knee since Saturday's game, was out on the field last night; and the return of the little quarter to the game was too much from Saturday's game is only one of the many promising omens greeting the squad in these days of preparation for the Missouri contest. Unless some Jayhawk warrior is injured during the scrimmage this week, the teams will go into the Missouri game without a single serious injury.
With the exception of several zealous athletes who limbered up on Hamilton Field last night, the Jayhawker Varsity took a deserved rest after the gruelling Nebraska game of Saturday. Coach Olcott did not ask the whole squad to assemble for a scrimmage or signal work, as he wanted them to get rested up before practice bean for the Missouri game.
INJURIES VANISH
Frost is pretty much battered up as a result of his strenuous efforts Saturday, but he will be all right within a few days. Martin, who was taken from the Nebraska game with a twisted knee, was out on the flold last night.
Coach McCarty's freshmen took a strenuous workout last night. The tyro mentor put his yearlings through a long signal drill on Missouri formations which they will use against the Varsity in preparation for the Tigers. The freshmen will be able to pit their full strength against the Varsity tonight for the first time in several weeks.
FRESHMEN USE M. U. PLAYS
Nettles, who has been out of the game for some time, reported for practice last night, and appears to be in good shape. Rustenbush, a star halfback on the freshman squad, also appears to be in better condition than during the last few weeks. Rusty received a blow on the head some time ago which has caused him considerable trouble. Every time somebody bumped his head he had been forced to head for the scrimmage, but a few minutes later the driver injured a chance to heal, and the speed little back expects to take part in every practice during the remainder of the season.
Kansas scouts have seen the Tigers play in most of their games this year, and they have a fair line on the Missouri style of play. The freshmen have been given these plays and the Varsity coaches will devote consideration to them. The coaches announced yesterday that most of the practices this week and next would be secret. The roots will probably be given only one chance to see the team in action before the Thanksgiving game.
CHEMISTS TO BE HOSTS
Prof. H. P. Cady Will Demonstrate Liquid Air Process
An opportunity to visit the department of chemistry will be given students of the University at 4:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon when Prof. H. P. Cady will demonstrate the making of acetone from ethanol with the "See K. U, First" campaign which was started by Prof. Arthur C. Tervill, head of the department of mining.
"There are things in every department which are of interest to those outside of the department," said Professor Terrill. "The testing of the good road materials in the laboratories of Marvin Hall, the work of Mr. Lowe and I, allowed me interesting things of the other departments should appeal to many students who do not have work in these departments."
If these is enough interest shown in the liquid air demonstration, Professor Terrill will arrange visits to other departments. Students who see this exhibition will be able to tell their home high schools about it and may arrange for demonstrations in their home towns.
Professor Cady has shown the process of making liquid air to various classes of audiences. He will give demonstrations at Perry, Friday evening, and at White City, Saturday evening.
Polity Club Meets
The International Polity club will hold a regular meeting at the Sigma Chi house Thursday night. The meeting was scheduled for last week, but was postponed because of a conflict in dates.
