**Abbard**
the left leaves for Nebraska Friday night, at 10:00 o'clock, carrying the freshman football squad, the band, and several hundred Jayhawk rooters, who follow the team north invade the land of the Cornus huskers
Coach W. O. Hamilton guaranteed the special to the Union Pacific Railroad when less than twenty agreed to take sign up yesterday; and he has made arrangements for several standard Pulman cars, tourist sleepers and chaircars. All those who want reservations on the standard sleepers will have to call up and make their reservations before Friday noon, for no more Pullman cars will be chartered after that time.
It will arrive in Lincoln early the next morning, in plenty of time to see the town before the game.
There will be plenty of room for all, however, in the tourists and chair cars. The regular fare both ways will amount to $2.96, and the Pullman fare $2.00. Tickets to the game are usually $1.50, since a total necessary cost of somewhere between thirteen and fifteen dollars for the trin.
Many pots are being made to ruffle off, and the winner will make the trip. Just how many plan definitely on making the trip could not be ascertained late today, but it is probable that nearly four hundred, including the two rosters, will go. Some twenty old men will leave rence with the regular football team who will get on the grounds a little in advance.
DR. HALL TALKS TO MEN ONLY
Medical Teacher to Deliver One of a Series of Lectures at Myers Hall
Dr. Winfield Scott Hall of Northwestern University, widely known medical teacher, writer, and lecturer, will talk to University men on "The Young Man's Problem" Sunday at 4:36 p. m. in Myers Hall.
Dr. Hall's experience as a physician and his scientific knowledge of eugenics, psychology, physiology, and physical education enables him to deal with his subject authoritatively. Heads of universities and colleges in the United States and Canada agree in counsel and scientific presentation of a subject that is of vital interest to every young man.
"Every man in the University should hear Doctor Hall Dr.", Dr. W. L Burdick, vice-chancellor of the University, said this morning. "I say this because he is one of the greatest recognized authorities in the world today on his object and has more influence over your men than any other one person."
Doctor Hall's lecture at the University is one of a series of lectures he is giving at universities, colleges, and normal training schools throughout the country under the auspices of Y. M. C. A. organizations.
CHORAL UNION TO GIVE
CONCERT DECEMBER
The Lawrence Choral Union, under the direction of Professor Arthur Nevin, will give its fall concert in Hall on the evening of December 5.
The Union will be assisted in the concert by Miss Gordon, a contralto, of Chicago. Miss Gordon will sing five numbers. The program to be given by the chorus will be announced later by Professor Nevin.
Captain Lindsey evidently is planning to do it right at Nebraska for he wore a pair of corn-huskers gloves evening during the entire practice.
Willard Glasco, c'16, was called to his home in Leavenworth last night by the death of his father.

WILSON COUNTY ORGANIZES;
MAKES BANGUO PLANS
Students of Wilson County organized last night and elected the following officers for the year: Blondie Jones, president; Bonnie Lingenfelter vice-president; Jess Spencer, secretary-treasurer, all of Fredonia; and Earl Crowder, of Altoona, representative to the County Club Union.
Plans were begun for the regular annual banquet during the Christmas vacation at Fredonia. A professor from the University will be secured to speak to more than 250 K. U. alumni from different colleges. Students of the University will take this occasion to boost the Permanent Income Bill.
DOES K. U. NEED BILLY SUNDAYS?
Doctor Elderkin Says Such Revival Leaders Should Be Unnecessary in K. U.
That Billy Sunday and Mott-Robin campaigns should not be necessary for University students is the belief that the Rev. N. S. Elderkin, of the Plymouth Congregational Church, stated in his talk before members of the Y. M. C. A. in Myers Hall last night.
"Billy Sunday campaigns may be necessary to create enthusiasm," said Doctor Elderkin. "Sunday realizes that the people of this age are waiting for some one to come along and give them a jolt.
"College students are supposed to be a bunch of picked men—a class that has dynamic force capable of creating its own enthusiasm. Students natur- tize themselves as natural hammering, because they believe they are awake to the big things in life.
"It is possible to create church enthusiasm from the inside without outside influence. In Cincinnati the church people decided against a Billy Button experiment, spending the same amount of time and labor in holding a campaign of their own. They estimated that they should secure 10,000 converts by the end of the year. Each church approached its members with a proposal of 11,000 converts at the end of the year."
"After all, the trouble lies with us. These campaigns would not be necesary." And the other fellow—would give it a bite of your own time and thought."
CLUB PLAY IS POSTPONE
"A Full House" May be Giver After Vacation
The plans for two dramatic club plays this year were dropped yesterday afternoon at a special meeting of the committee in charge of the play planned this winter. It was not considered practical to give the play beaten, but it is probable that the play chosen, "A Full House", will not be given at all.
The cast had been announced and practice had been begun on the play, but things had not advanced so far that the work could not be stopped. It is probable that a play of serious interest will be given shortly after vacation time. Those members who worked for places on the cast of "A Full House" will be given preference when the cast of the new play is chosen.
Next Sunday is the third in the third of special days toward which the churches of Lawrence are concentrating their efforts. It is to be Family Day, and the pastor of every church urges his people to come as families and sit together and to begin co-operating in their religious lives.
"The fact that students are here without their families should not keep them away next Sunday," said Mrs. Blake, a teacher at the Church, this morning. "The students responded in a very satisfactory way last Sunday and we shall be glad if they will come back. There will be interest in the services of interest to them."
Three graduates of the department of mathematics of the University were elected during the summer to instructorships in other universities. They are as follows: Ray Gilman to an instructorship in Cornell University; Harold McCormick to an instructor in Minnesota; and Frank E. Word to an instructorship in Northwestern University.

LEATHER PRICES HIKE ONE DOLLAR
Senior Assessment for Jayhawk ers Will Not Increase With Cost of Leather
STAFF IS WORKING HARD
Photographers Start Campaign for Early Business on Senior Pictures
The high price of paper will not advance the senior assessment for the 1917 Jayhawker, but it will mean that seniors will get a claibound book for their six dollars instead of the usual leather bound edition. This announcement was given out today by Arnold Nordstrom, editor of the book. He could easily get to the leather bound book, however, by paying one dollar extra.
"Every committee and every subjecit is hard at work in his department compiling the material that is going to make the 1917 Jayhawker a pleasant surprise to every K. U. student," said Nordstrom this morning: "It is hard work to organize a book of notes for everyone, but staff is doing good work and there will be no trouble when the spring time comes around.
"The calendar men and the staff photographers are especially busy, and they are going to produce something novel and interesting in their departments. There are still a few appointments where they will be announced in a few days."
Arrangements are being made now to let the contract for the engraving in the book. The printing contract has already been let to the Rogers Printing Co., of Dixon, Ill., who are printing a majority of the larger annuals of the east this year. According to W. B. Brown, Superintendent of the Department of Journalism Press, the Board advises me of the best in the field, and their work alone should be a good advertisement for the Jabawkower.
SENIOR PICTURES WANTED
SENIOR PICTURES WANTED Nordstrom is urging that all seniors get their pictures in before the Christmas vacation. This will insure a better grade of work in the engraving.
The down-town photographers are giving their special rates and they are urging students to have their pictures taken early, because they, too, can do better work when they are not rushed.
The pictures this year will be printed on a white background, which, in the opinion of the editors, will show up on your desk. You will include the pictures, of all classes.
All juniors and sophomores who will want in the book should either own the pictures, or declare their intentions to do so, before the Christmas vacation.
Few students of the University know that in Haworth Hall there is a display of all the celebrated diamonds of history—of course they are models or they wouldn't be there but trained eye cannot detect their falsity.
Imitations of Famous Stones Exhibited in Haworth
DIAMONDS ARE DISPLAYED
Prof. Erasmus Haworth, knowing that all of the girl students of the University would like to see these celebrated diamonds, purchased them and put them on exhibition. They are enclosed in a glass case to the left of the door as you enter the "Hall of Minerals."
Other diamonds in the display are the Polar Star, Regent, Florentine, Blue Diamond of Hope, Pasha of Egypt, Kiho-i-noor, Orloof, Piggott, Great Mogul, Nassac, Star of the Mogul, Sancy, and the Shah of Persia.
The great Cullinan diamond, found in the Premier mine in Transvaal, South Africa, and presented to King Edward VII of England, is the most conspicuous of the display. Over one hundred smaller diamonds have been cut in the Royal Cullinan. The diamond in the Royal Cullinan England, and the diamond in the hilt of the Royal Sword are two smaller diamonds cut from the Cullinan.
Willard M. Glasco, c'17, of Fiedmont, was called home this morning by the sudden death of his father. No details, other than that the elder Mr. Glasco died of appoplexy, could be learned this morning.
Jap Glasco Called Home
Ernest Hadley, c18, and Junius lyche, c'17, will visit friends in Man-牙an Saturday.
NATIVE ARMENIAN STUDENT SPEAKS
Will Describe the Conditions of His Country and People
STUDIES LAW AT K. U.
Burdick Will Speak—Funds Will Not Be Solicited at Convocation
The trials of his people and their sufferings and needs will be told Friday at the bi-monthly convocation by Nazareth Boyajian, a native of Armenia, who is a student in the School of Law. He will speak of the work of women in the United States who are soliciting funds for the Armenians.
The convocation will be in Fraser chapel. Classes will be divided into forty minute periods. Boyajian has spoken several times before the Y. M. organization, which organizes, but this is his first acceptance before the entire University.
No collection will be taken during the convocation but next week different class organizations will arrange to solicit funds for the relief. All money is to be sent to the committee in New York City which handles all business connected with the work. This committee is unpaid for its work thereby assuring the givers that every cent will be used in aiding the Armenians.
The New York committee will buy necessary clothing and food in this country and sent it to either the consul or to missionaries in Turkey, where they will provide proper distribution. The committee planned to presentouchers showing where practically every cent has been spent.
Prof. H. P. Cady, chairman of the University assemblies, has arranged for Doctor Burdick, vice-chancellor of the University, to describe the manner in which relief work will be carried on. Boyajian-will be the principal speaker since he has first-hand information as to the condition of the people.
CAPPER TO AID ROADS BOOSTERS
Kansas Good Roads Association Will Meet in Lawrence This Week
Gov. Arthur Capper will be here in Lawrence Thursday night, and will speak before the Kansas State Good Roads Association, which is meeting here Thursday and Friday. Governor Capper's presence at the meetings and his promise to speak are expected to add greatly to the success of the conference, the great interest and speculation on the governor's talk and what will be his attitude in regard to the good roads movement in Kansas.
"With two such well-known speakers as have been noted and other very good men from throughout the state, the success of the convention is assured," said one of the town men who is managing the meetings.
The association of good roads booster, consisting of men from all parts of Kansas, road commissioners and speakers of note, will open Thursday morning at the Merchants' Association rooms. In the afternoon the meeting will be in Fraternal Aid Hall, where former Governor George Hodges will speak. The Men's Glee Club of the university will sing.
A war correspondent's credentials and how they are secured, the reporter at the front and how he gets his "stuff", and the publishing condition in France were set forth in most interest by Mr. Patterson in a "shop灯" at the Sigma Delta Chi smoker at the Pi Upson house last night.
PATTerson TELLS OF HIS EXPERIENCE IN WAR ZONE
"The American correspondents are allowed to go the front on only two a month but while on these news scouting expeditions they are given as free a hand as an American newspaper reporter is given in covering a common fire story. Many of the writers have not been to the front for six months. The stories you see appear forintnightly in the American papers are the result of the labor of possibly four or more reporters.
Professor Patterson while in Paris bought many papers for future reference. These were shown to the young K. U. newspaper workers following the talk of the former Eastern newspaperman.

STUDENTS DEFACE CASTS—
GRIFTHIFF OFFERS REWARD
A reward of $5.00 has been offered by Prof. W. A. Griffith of the department of art to anyone detecting the defacing of the casts in the studio, where he is employed. It has been rather disconcerting to enter the studio lately and find the faces of Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, and other noted personalities decorated with pencilled ear-rings, ear-rings, and large spectacles.
"This penalty was imposed last year and collected," Prof. Griffith said, in the number of factory in cutting down the number of final touches given to the casts."
CHANCELLOR TO DISCUSS PENSIONS
Member of Committee to Confer With Carnegie Founda-
At the close of the meeting of the National Association of State Universities yesterday afternoon, Chancellor Frank Strong, president, left for New York City with a committee from the Association to confer with directors of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, regarding a change in the present system of pensioning teachers, practiced by the Foundation. Although the Uni- lization of Kansas is not among the school beneficents of Strong, one of the committee invited the directors of the Foundation to confer with them regarding the proposed change.
For many years the Carnegie Foundation has pensioned teachers in institutions of higher learning under its direction, and the purpose of the meeting tomorrow is to simplify and modern the scope of the pension system.
MEETING CLOSED YESTERDAY
The annual meeting of the Association of State Universities closed this afternoon with a talk by President Farrand, of the University of Colo-ronia, Procedure Government, Boards Regimentment, Dismissal and Tenure of University Teachers" followed by an informal discussion of the subject by members of the association.

Bug Pamphlet Ready
"Formulae for Destroying Injurious Insects and Plant Diseases" is the bulletin just published by Walter Wellhouse, assistant state entomologist at the University of Kansas. This is a thorough account of the treatment which should be given chewing insects, sucking insects, and boring insects, in order to exterminate them. Understanding all these remedial measures will be scant; our quest by the state entomologist, S. J Hunter, at the office of State Entomologist, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kas.
Ubal Bobtell, a sophomore in the College of Emporia, was a guest of Warren Pierson, "19" Sunday and Monica Heller, "20" being a junior on the Hill next year.
EVERYBODY OUT TO HUSKING BEE
OLCOTT FEATURES MEET
Kansas Mentor Will Break Season's Silence Before Rooters
Fraser Chapel seats 800 people. "If we can't crowd three times that number into the aisles, the back of the hall, on top of radiators, and on the fire-escapes for the big rally tonight, I have missed my guess," said Cheerleader Gedney this morning. "This is something that record-breaking burst of real Kanata will provide in photographs in Blake Hall and the record will remain as ample proof that the University is behind the team tooth and toe-nail."
DATE RULE OFF
The date rule has been suspended for the evening and the old idea that a rally is not the place for women has been brushed aside. The whole Uni Wales university and students, are expected to pick the chapel to the outer guard rails.
To the program already announced, Gedney promises another speaker with a message. Dutch Wedel has a secret to explode. The band and glee club will assist in the manufacture of the ginger.
OLCOTT TO BREAK SILENCE
SILENCE
The rally will center around the speech by Coach Occlot. The leader of the Jayhawk machine has been particularly silent previous to other games this season, and his decision to give his opinion of the coming conflict is thought to be a good omen. Coach Clark will have an opportunity with the Jayhawkers in the big battle with the Jayhawkers in enemy, and Captain Lindsey has promised to tell just how much corn the team will husk.
The rally starts at 7:30, and following the organized display of enthusiasm a parade will probably form for a trip down town.
APPELBOOM TO TELL OF HOLLAND
Native Hollander Will Speak in Fraser on Customs and Sympathies of Dutch
Did you know that you owe the toothsome "cooky"—so popular with you in your childhood days, to the Dutch? The Dutch brought over this dainty, and innumerable other things. Probably you are not aware that life insurance, the thermometer, and the microscope are Dutch inventions. Cleanliness, so the Dutch say, was invented in Holland—so scrupulous are the people of windmills, canals, tulips, and wooden shoes.
Prof. P. F. Appelboom, of the department of romance languages, will lecture on "Holland and Its People" in Fraser Chapel Thursday at 4:30 p.m. The lecture is to get you acquainted with what Holland is doing and has been the past. He will tell of Holland's symphonic styles and defense, of their method of flipping part of the country ten feet deep with sea water to arrest an attacking army. Professor Appelboom is a native Hollander of three and a half years' residence in the United States. He was educated in Holland, and was for eight years a lieutenant in the Dutch Navy, during that time he participated in three expeditions, and spent three years in the Dutch colonies in India.
TUMBLERS BEGIN EARLY
TRAINING IN GYMNASIUM
Looking ahead on the athletic calendar, C.B. Harrison of the department of physical education, has organized a class in tumbling for the purpose of building up a tumbling team.
The class, which meets on Tuesday and Thursdays at four-thirty o'clock, may be substituted by sophomores for the regular gymnasium credit.
