TELLS SAD TALE OF DYING NATION
Nazareth Boyajian, Armenian Relates Touching Story of His Countrymen
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS FRIDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMEER 17, 1916.
STARTS RELIEF CAMPAIGN
Students Contributions Will Be Solicited Through Class Organizations
With tears in his eyes, Nazareth Boyajian, a native Armenian, in a plea for aid for his suffering country, men, launched the University campaign for Armenian aid at concession in Fraser church this morning.
"It was in December," he said. "The ground was covered with snow, and the cold was terrible. I helped unfasten the frozen bodies of babies from the backs of fifteen mothers who had carried them two days, not knowing they were dead. I saw little babies lying on the banks of the Tigris River, crying for food, and there was none to give them. Their fathers and mothers were dead, and there was no one to care for them."
Following a vivid picturization of the horrors which have been the list of people during World War II, Mr. Boyajian said, "And now thousands of Armenians are in the Arabian desert, outraged, persecuted and starving. You in this country cannot realize the great hardships they endure. We have plenty of food, water and almost naked. One dollar will keep one Armenian girl a month—and it is the women and girls that are suffering most"
"When the war began all the able bodied men among the Armenians were compelled to join the army, while the old men, women, and children were left behind, at the mercy of the Kurds. These Kurds are barbarians—they are beasts They cannot read or write, and a few of hundred I have in my hand comprises their entire language. They know nothing of civilization. All they know is war—to kill to outrage. They have swept down into Armenia, and are occupying the homes of my people—while the Armenians are starving in the desert of Arabia, or lying dead by the roadside
M. Benjamin, a graduate of Euphrates college, the largest missionary college in Asia, was in the United States when the European war began, but returned to his native land soon afterwards. This morning he described scenes witnessed when thousands of his countrymen was driven into exile.
"Along the road we followed, I saw a boat moving into deep wells, oil poured on them
YOUNG LADIES BEWARE
"Any young lady who attempts to do any close work wearing one of those fashionable veils is liable to do her eyes permanent irrepairable
Dr. Smith Issues Warnings Against Close Fitting Vells
This was the warning issued by Dr. E. Smith, instructor in anatomy of the k. U. School of Medicine, "The veils are all right for out of doors," said Doctor Smith, "but when worn in classes or when reading they are a detriment to doing good work. The veil is necessary for change in the focusing of the eye, and a continual double focus, which is a constant strain."
Doctor Smith admitted the advantages of the modern veil worn down over the eyes as far as the looks of the thing is concerned, but he deplored the fact that so many of the young women of the University wear the veils while working in the Library and in their classes.
Prof. D. L. Patterson will speak before the Plymouth Center at the Congregational Church Sunday night on "A Day in the Trenches." The talk will be given at 8:40 after the professor's lecture and Professor Patterson will tell of his experiences this summer as a war correspondent in France.
Plymouth Center meets every Sunday evening at 8:40 for the discussion of some topic of the day. After the speaker of the evening has finished, there is usually an opportunity to ask questions.
PATTerson TO SPEAK
AT PLYMOUTH CENTER
Carrie Weaver of Belleville, who was taking graduate work on the Hill last year, is here visiting friends
Marie Robinson, of Eudorn, special in the college last year, is in Lawrence today.
FAMILY DAY AT CHURCHES
SUNDAY—BIG PREPARATION
These students who forgot that last Sunday at the churches was especially for them will find next Sunday fully, as good a day to start. The services will be designed for families and the students who are with their families will of course attend—but those who are not can form themselves into household groups and go anyway.
University people are all members of one big group with a body of common interests so why not pretend that we are just a big family and go to church "unanimously" next Sunday?
BIG CONVOCATION FOR INCOME BILL
Chancellor, Putnam, Burdick and Students Will Tell of Many Advantages
The urgent need for better buildings for the University as well as a permanent basis for the income of the school was emphasized by Prof. C.A. Wheeler in his last meeting of the Union. All of the state schools which have a building program at all have the Mill Tax or Permanent Income Bill in effect in their state. Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Michigan and others also are successfully using the law. Professor Rice called attention to the fact that much could be done during Mothers' and Father's week to show the people from "back home" some of the poor equipment and the improvements we need.
An All-University convocation in Fraser Chapel, Friday, November 24, with such speakers as Prof. G. E. Putnam, Prof. W. L. Burdick and Chancellor Strong on the program is boosting and explaining the Permanent Income Bill to the University. Effort is being made to have Governor Capper speak at this meeting. The entire chapel will be divided into counties to represent the state of Kansas. Delegates from all the county clubs at K. U., will sit on the plinth and music will be furnished by the band.
The Permanent Income Bill faille to pass the last legislature by only a few votes. This year, with all the students co-operating with the County office for the new County Council, and, in turn, the mayor, the deputy mayor, more successfully at Tomoka
New pamphlets on the Permian Income Bill will be ready for distribution among the county clubs before the deadline, and members of the County Club Union will be held in Fraser Club, November 22 at 7:30 p. m. Every delegate is requested to be present and all inter-organizations are invited to come to the meeting.
EXPLAINS BRIDGE PLANS
Assistant Engineer on Bridge Lectures to Students
Dan Ackers, e17, who for the last year has been working for Hedrick and Cochrane of Kansas City as assistant engineer on the new bridge across the Kaw, gave a talk of the evening at the meeting of the Civil Engineering Society Thursday. Mr. Ackera explained in detail the conditions for building the first plans were drawn through the letting of the contract to the Missouri Valley Bridge Company to the present.
Additional discussions of the work on the bridge were made, by A. L. Redrick, resident engineer for the Missouri Valley Bridge Company during a trip to New York by Charles Smith Paul Dhall and Eaton Easterday, senior civil sails.
The next meeting will be a joint meeting of the C. E. Society, A. S. M. E. and A. I. E. E. on December 7. At this meeting Mr. G. E. Rex who has charge of the timber treatment department of the Santa Fe, will give an illustrated lecture on "Timber."
Because of the change in the market prices of chemicals and apparatus used in the chemical laboratories, the departments are urging the students to notify the chemistry store department, twenty-four hours in advance concerning the materials available at the warehouse, to look up the present market quotations, in order to know how much to charge for materials and whether to sell them at all or not, because of the difficulty in replacing them.
Ralph Branch vent to Topeca today to attend the Fairmount—Washburn game.
Mr. Herbert Curtius of Staford will be the guest of friends at K. U Saturday and Sunday.
New Chemistry Rules
FACULTY STUDY NAUGHTY RALLY
Two Senate Committees Are Busy Collecting Material on Control of Rowdyism
They Are Considering Plans to Get an Effective Disciplinary System at K, U.
PROBE OTHER SCHOOLS
While the committee appointed by Chancellor Strong for investigating the recent Naughty Rally is carefully gathering evidence and drafting a recommendation to the Senate for the punishment of the leaders of the rally, another committee, of which Prof. A. T. Walker is chairman, is slowly working out a list of recommendation for a permanent disciplinary order. The committee's preliminary reports of these committees will contain provisions which will effectively end rowdyism in the school, thinks Dean Temlin of the College.
"I don't think the members of either committee have reached any definite conclusions concerning the matters they are considering. They are now going to meet at a later date, once their final decisions and recommendations. I think there is little question but that the leaders of the Aggie rally will receive some punishment and that a ruling will result before prevent such rallies in the future."
"Neither committee is acting hastily," Dean Templin declared this morning, "and I think the final reports will be of a nature to give the school an effective disciplinary system. The members of the committee must take their final judgments, and are collecting sufficient evidence to make their final decisions and recommendations complete and effective.
Letters received from other universities in the United States, in reply to queries from the committees of the Senate, show that K. U. is one of the few schools which retains the old time rowdyism, and the two committee appointed by the Chancellor on the advice of the Senate are expected to recommend measures for putting an end to it in the University of Kansas.
SEWING CLASSES TO HELP
K. U. Women Will Make Clothes For Armenians
Members of the sewing classes in the department of home economics are contemplating giving their services toward national development, usually giving their needs.
As the appeal made by Chancellor strong asked for money, not clothes, Miss Wright, instructor in sewing suggested that the clothes made be sold, and the money given to the Armenian Relief.
Miss Elizabeth Sprague, head of the department of home economics, approves of the idea, "Class periods are held in the afternoon," ever said Miss Sprague, "but all women who are interested can enter a special class, held Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. The women will be seated at the table and make articles of wearing apparel."
Dr. John Sundwall spoke on "The Inter-relationship of Endocrine Glands." Thursday evening at the Sigma Xi meeting at the Alpha Chi
Initiation was held for the following new members: Clarence Estes, analyst in food laboratory; Ivan P. Parkhurst, graduate student, and Burnett O. Bower, Emile C. Lefevre, Gerald Sunks, undergraduates.
Although no college credit will be given for the work done, many women are interested in the plan because of their desire to achieve the Armenian suffering.
Between thirty-five and forty members were present. Members of the society took up the subject in open discussion with Dr. Sundwalt gave his address.

PROF. H, I. A. RICE TALKS TO
GOOD ROADS CONVENTION
Professor H. A. Rice of the department of civil engineering addressed the Kansas Good Roads Convention at F. A. U. Hall this morning on "The Organization of State Highway Work and Rond Legislation."
Two years ago, as chairman of the Kansas State Highway investigation Committee, Professor Rice interviewed the State Roads Commission of Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Ohio and wrote a very comprehensive report on the highway work in those states. The material for his address this morning was taken largely from that report.
3000 STUDENTS TO FOLLOW BALL
Kansas Rooters to Watch Plays At Lincoln and In Fraser Channel
Every man and woman in K. U. will follow the ball at Lineinch tomorrow afternoon. A. comparatively small number will see the game from the side linemen, but the stay-at-money in each get each a play it is made in Fraser Channel.
The special train leaves for Lincoln tonight at 10:00 o'clock over the Union Pacific, and it will not be known, even approximately, how many students will go. Many will decide at the last minute, and many will try and beat the railroad out of New York to Kansas, where goes to Nebraska will depend as much upon the vigilance of the train crew as the fullness of student purses.
It is approximated that over two hundred Jayhawk rooters in addition to the squand will make the trip. The three cheerleaders have already gone, and they will spend their time organizing the section after the special arrivals.
MANY ON SPECIAL
Many students have already gone either by the motor truck route or by train. As there is no especially low rate over the railroad this year a larger number than usual have gone in advance of the special train, some stopping for a few hours at home before going on to Lincoln.
REFURNS IN FRASER
Those who have the misfortune not to have the cash, or to get kicked off the special, will get the returns both vocally and by means of a large bulletin in Fraser Chapel. A large blackboard will be brought onto the stage, and the ten yard lines of a gridiron marked off with it. A marker will show the relative positions of the ball on the screen; if the ball will be played before the eyes of the students here as swifty as a special leased wheel can bring it from Lincoln.
Plans for Senior-Alumni Mixer
Assure Program
Tickets are selling well today at ten cents each, but if five hundred tickets are sold in advance, five cents will be the admission charge at the door, and all students presenting tickets will be refunded five cents. The Kansas is making this small change, so fifteen hundred students come at two cents each, so much the better. It is only necessary to pay expenses. Tickets are in the hands of members of the department of journalism.
The strongest lineup of speakers that have ever spoken at a Senior-Alumni smoker were announced this morning by chairman, Bill Weber. The new senior member, David "86," editor of the Hutchinson News, Cusain "T. Tom Smith, LLB." '90, of Hinwath, and Dr. W. L. Burick, vice-chancellor of the University, speaking for the faculty. Another well-known alumnus, noted for his wit and humor, and he said would to the old "boyes" if business conditions required him to be the post of duty at do buys a time. He added the smoker says.
GOOD SPEAKERS INVITED
All the fraternities are especially urged to prevail upon their alumni to come back for the mixer. The affair starts at 7:30 and will be over by 9:00 time to allow the men to fill their dates for the remainder of the evening.
Besides the smokes, speaking, the four round fight to a finish between Hook's porters, a quartet from the band 98.9, sing in the evening's entertainment.
The smoker will be given the night before the Missouri game.

Large Crowd at Depot Last Night Put Final Punch In Men On Squad. Team Will Spend Day In Rest Before Husker Game
The Cornhuskers cannot go on winning from Kansas every year. There must come a turn in the lane.
One thing is certain.
SAYS DUTCH ARE MISUNDERSTOOD
Not a Country's Size, But Its Spirit Counts, Says Appelboom
That's the sort of spirit that has made Kansas famous. That's the sort of spirit that will make her football team fight to the last ditch. That's the sort of spirit that will make tomorrow's victory—if it is one—all the more glorious because it has been so long denied.
"The Dutch people are misjudged," said Prof. P. F. Appelbom in his lecture yesterday afternoon on "Holland and Its People." They are usually thought of as simple, stolid and somewhat stupid, according to Professor Appelbom, but he mentioned that the microscope, telescope and the thermometer were all invented in Holland.
"True, the Dutch are stubborn and hardheaded, but they are persistent," continued Professor Appelboom. "But you have a country and a country his spirit that counts.
This year, Kansas followers believe, the Kansas Jayhawk will feed on Nebraska corn.
That's the sort of spirit which permeated the throng of Kansas rooters which gave the team a rousing sendoff at the Santa Fe station last night, even though the train was an hour late. That's the sort of spirit which made the departure a warm one—which sent the boys on their road to Linecoin feeling that the school stood behind them; that Kansas was proud of the men who are to represent her on the Nebraska Field tomorrow.
**FAMILIES ARE SAFE**
"To look at Holland from the sea, the impression one gets that of a country with sand but sand dunes. But upon entering a harbor a different view is presented. The latitude and greenness of the country, the houses, canals and windmills all go to make up the Dutch landscape that has been depicted so faithfully by, the Dutch artists."
"The farms are small, usually only ten or twelve acres. Dairying is the chief industry. Manufacturing is the house of the scarcity of coal and iron.
Few PICTURE SHOWS THERE
"Cheap amusements have no place in Holland. When I was in Amsterdam, I had two pictures in the whole city.
"Contrary to the usual belief, the Dutch are artistic. Several Dutch painters rank among the greatest, including Brahndt, Doa, Rainsdale and Hoberma.
MAY DRAIN ZUYDER ZEE
"The 10,000 windmills in Holland are to drain the water from the land. They will fill before Parliament to drain the Zuyder Yee. The work would cost $100,000,000 and would take thirty years.
"My country considers water its independence," continued Professor Appelbloom. "In case of invasion, locks would be opened and a belt of twelve miles wide and ten foot deep would surround the large cities.
MEXICAN TELLS OF HIS COUNTRYS_PROBLEMS TODAY
"Everyone who is a high school graduate in Holland is able to read three modern languages. French is taught in all the schools."
Senior de la Garza will speak on "What Is Wrong With Mexico" at four-thirty this afternoon in Fraser Chapel. He will speak in the intervals of the peace-loving Mexicans and outlines a plan for the solution of their problems, the greatest of which is, in his estimation, the reestablishment of the faith of other countries in Mexico
Senor de la Garza comes here from Emporia where he spoke this morning. He will be entertained by the University Club, and leaves tomorrow to fulfill engagements in Ohio.
The Weather
Fair tonight and Saturday, not much change in temperature.
The Pi Upallon fraternity announces the pledging of Tad Reed, of Stafford, Kansas.
Susanne McDonald spent the day in Kansas City Thursday.
IT'S OUR TURN
Tradition has made the Kansas-Nebraska conflict a classic in valley football. The two institutions have been battling away for supremacy for nearly a quarter of a century, and Nebraska, Kansas must admit, has had the edge. This year, however, the Jayhawk will have his turn. Kansas adherents are firm in their belief that their team will win tomorrow.
With the exception of Palkowsky, there is not an injured man on the squad which left for Lincoln last night; and Kansas may well hope for a royal battle tomorrow. Her team is fit.
TEAM OPTIMISTIC "We're going to win," Captain Lindsey told a group of his personal friends before his departure last night. "We've got the stuff this year, and we're going to win."
WILL USE STRATEGY
The probable lineup tomorrow will see Reid at left, end and Shinn at right. The teacher will tackle positions, with Martin at left guard and Frost at right. Miner will doublebite play center. Foster will probably be the choice for quarter, and backyards and Woodward and backyards will fill his customary berth at full.

TAKES VARSITY QUESTION
K. U. Debating Society Discusses Triangular Subject
The question that will be the debated with Oklahoma and Colorado was discussed by the K. U. Debating Society in their regular meeting in Praser Hall last night. Raymond Howell had added a debatecussion for the affirmative and Herbert Howland and Charles Walsh for the negative.
As this is the question for the next tryout for the debating squad, the society decided to debate the same question next Thursday night. The question is, Resolved, that the principle of compulsory investigation of industrial disputes as embodied in the Canadian Compulsory Investigation Act should be passed by the Congress of the United States.
The debaters for next Thursday are H. C. Hangen, W. Rogers, E. S. Mason, Charles Walsh, H. V. Gott and W. A. Wilson.
MUSICIANS VIE FOR FAVOR OF FACULTY AND STUDENTS
Such a galaxy of opera stars, violinists, and pianists are seldom heard in any one concert as vied with one another for supremacy in the phonograph contest held in Fraser Hall this afternoon for the purpose of deciding which machine of the five competing against each other shall be purchased for the School of Fine Arts
It was difficult for students to decide which interpreted best the sound of the voice or instrument of the artist. "If you close your eyes and imagine you are at a sure enough concert in a theatre," said one guitarist. "You see the singer seems like the singer is really on the platform before you."
Prof. Charles F. S. Kilton, of the School of Fine Arts, has not decided yet which machine he likes best. The instrument selected will be used to aid in the study of music in some of the Fine Art classes.
Nebraska is Not INVINCIBLE!
