WHOLE SCHOOL IN FAVOR OF PARADE
All University Organizations Promise to Help Carry Out Idea
WILL BE SIMPLE AFFAIR
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 14, 1916
The biggest publicity stunt ever held by the students of the University is the way Prof. J. H. Srinivasan pursued planned for the morning of the Turkey Day game
Some of the folks back home are a little doubtful concerning the degree to which football is placed before other activities, according to Mr. Rice and he believes that this parade would come the nearest of anything in the past. He said they were showing the folks that we do something besides play football.
With every person who has been interviewed receiving the plans with much enthusiasm the plans are becoming worked out in a more finished degree every day. The merchants are for it because it means more visitors in town and wider publicity for Lawrence. The organizations are for the home-coming parade because they have a chance to show the home folks what their organization amounts to in the parade because every man is behind the movement and strong for it. The cheerleader likes the idea for it will tend to increase the enthusiasm that will creen out on that day.
Plan to Show Home-folks Work Being Done Here at the University
"There is certainly going to be lots of pop at this game," said Gedney this morning. "I use pop, for it is still the best word and expresses just what is going to happen. This parade will start the pop coming a few hours sooner than we had planned. See to it that we bring Thousands in the parade. But I won't have to exert myself any in that way. Every person is for this thing."
The parade and flands as planned will not be so very elaborate, just enough to show what the school is doing, but the men in charge know this will be adequate. "Simplicity" will be adequate (full-time) to be the adoration of the big home-coming parade planned for the morning of the Turkey Day game.
"I'ta a great idea," said Mr. Rice this morning, "By having floats of the various organizations and schools in this parade we will show the virtues what others are showing the progress of the University in its fifty years of growth would be very interesting if worked out in an able manner."
"But I notice the Kanman left out one group of University folks who should by all means be included in this parade," continued Professor Blee. "That is the faculty. It is the faculty which makes this school. Why shouldn't they be given a place in the parade?"
MANY KANSAS ENGINEERS
ARE ELECTING SPANISH
Of the 437 students in the School of Engineering in the University of Kansas, a big majority is studying or has studied Spanish. Of the 175 freshmen in the department 108 are studying Spanish. Engineers are required to study at least one foreign language.
"The fact that so many engineering students are studying Spanish," said P. F. Walker, dean of the School of Engineering, "shows they recognize great industrial developments to come in South and Central America. But the ambitious young Kansan must not believe there is a good business opening for him in South America. There is not. The vast resources of these southern states are underdeveloped, and an engineer is little or no chance for an engineering 'free lance'. First, South and Central America must have capital from the outside. Without capital from the United States and Europe they can't develop.
"So the route of a graduate of an engineering school is to get a position in this country with some large enterprise that manufactures for the southern export trade, or with some big firm that plans and builds large public works. Then the student should work his way into the company's staff that has charge of the foreign business, if the foreword work seems to prompt him for him. Not all engineering students become engineering experts. In fact, there is a great opportunity for salesmanship in South America."
Sure. The Date Rule's Off!
Oh! Myrtle
From the fact that the women of Kansas voted for Wilson we gather that the Hughes whiskers are worse than that the president has a second wife.
Fraser Chapel. Tomorrow Night 7:30. Nuff said.
Rally! Rally!
The date rule has been declared suspended for tomorrow evening at the Beat Nobraska Rally. Everybody is expected to be there either with or without a date. The suspension of the date rule should leave no excuse for any one being absent.
Fill Fraser Chapel tomorrow night at 7:30.

OBJECT TO SUCH CRUEL PRACTICE
Mothers Protest Against Pad dling and Football in Let- ter to Minister
"Isn't there some way to obviate the cruelty of football and paddling? That is the question asked in a letter to Rev. H. W. Harzett of the Methodist Church by those who sign themselves "Mothers who have lost sons." An exact explanation of the word "lost" is not given, but, whoever these mothers may be, they are evidently deeply concerned in the practices of the University students, and desire to reform the particular one of paddling. In speaking of the custom, Harzett said that he had been unable to find any cases in which freshmen had been injured thereby, Nevertheless, considering the age of the University student, he firmly disapproves of the practice because of its effects on the student's sense of dignity.

FRANK STRONG. Chancellor.
A crushing blow has fallen upon the Armorians and Syrians of Turkey, Persis, Syria and Palestine. Amid all the terrible accompaniments of the European war nothing is more heart-rending than the story of the death of 850,000 persons, who have perished by massacre, disease, and hardship.
2,000,000 ARE IN NEED
Of this, and the 2,000,000 survivors, who are in dire distress, Nazareth Boyajian, will speak at the All-University convocation Friday morning at 10:10. Mr. Boyajian, who is a native Armenian is capable of telling of the awful conditions existing there as he has been back to his home country since the war broke out in 1980. Mr. Boyajian has several talks at other University earth erings which have met with much favor.
Aa nation-wide campaign is on to raise funds for the relief of these suffering people and K. U. has been raised by the national committee to do more. The work was placed in the hands of a committee, headed by Prof. H. P. Cady.
No attempts will be made to secure contributions at the conventation Friday but soon afterwards, while the interest in the subject is still high, the solicitation of the student body will be undertaken through the class organizations. The members of the faculty will be selected by the faculty nominees, and those being discussed for holding a benefit party sometime later in the year.
NO SOLICITING FRIDAY
"Are Billy Sunday campaigns necessary", Rev. Noble S. Elderkin, pastor of the Lawrence Congregational Church will tell his views on this subject tonight at Myers Hall from 7 till 8 o'clock.
It is stated by Henry Morgenthau former ambassador of Turkey, that $5,000,000 will be needed to furnish sufficient food, clothing and shelter to keep the race from extinction in the war. The European conflict not engaged in the European conflict, is the only country to which the Armenians can look for aid.

Senate Grants Petition of Men's Student Council Asking Supervision
STOP STUDENT GRAFTING
Want To Do Away With Individual Giving Dances and Pocketing Profits
The day of the two-man organization whose members could evade the rules of the Student Interests Committee and give a "Varsity" dance and pocket the profit is a thing of the past. The student body announced that it had given the Men's Student Council a check on subscription dances that would at least serve as a check upon individuals giving dances under the name of a club that never existed, or a fraternity who did not consented to having its name used.
COUNCIL GETS POWER
The new ruling is the direct result of a petition presented to the Student, Interests Committee by the council, requesting that no school class, or department organization be allowed to give more than two subscription checks; consent of the student council; and that no student, or group of students be allowed to give what is commonly known as a "Varsity Dance" without the consent of the council. The petition without amendment.
This ruling will the council, which comes into more personal contact with the student body, authority to approve or place the ban on dances. Thus it will make it easier to keep track of the dances which are legitimate, and those which are given merely for personal profit.
"It is not our purpose to keep any school or class that has a worthy purpose from giving dances to make money," said Paul Greever, president of the council. "We realize the necessity of raising money for memorials and many other things. It is essential, that the worthy causes don't get cheated out of opportunities to give dances by single persons or two-man organizations who give the dances and pocket the money."
PURPOSE NOT SELFISH
TO ENTERTAIN SENIORS
Junior Pharmics to Receive Upperclassmen Tomorrow
The junior class in the departments of pharmacy will hold a reception for the senior pharmacies at the Alpha Tau house tomorrow night at 8 o'clock.

NO FUNDS; IMPOSSIBLE
TO ENGAGE LECTURER
Effort was made by the department of romance languages through Eugenie Gallo, head of the department, to have Senor de la Garzo speak before the students and teachers of the department, but no funds from the University were available. Senor de la Garza is an authority on Mexican conditions and the language department was especially anxious to have him talk to the students before giving his address at the University Club but the lack of funds will prevent such plans from being carried out.
Rally!! Rally !! Everybody Out!
Tomorrow Night.
The Special
Wanted:—Only 40 signers to an agreement to ride on a special train to Nebraska. This announcement was made yesterday in the columns of the Kansas, and at noon today only ten had signed. It is definite that over 200 contenders from Kansas will go, but it is necessary that 40 signify their intentions definitely to insure a special train. This can only be done by calling up Manager W. O. Hamilton before supper time tonight.
NOTED MEXICAN TO LECTURE HERE
Senor de la Garza Will Tell of His Country's Prob-
lems
"What is the Matter with Mexico?" is the subject of the lecture to be given by Senor de la Garza in Priser chapel Friday at 4:30. Senor de la Garza was for twelve years a member of the Mexican Council of Defense, an assistant as friend and adviser with the governments of Diaz, de la Barra, Madero and Huerta but later sought freedom in the United States, because he was unwilling to sacrifice his beliefs in national constitutional principles as principal agent for Mexico under Huerta but refused to serve under the dictatorship.
Senor de la Garza has made practically a life-time study of Mexico's internal conditions. In legal capacity, he has been recognized by the Pullman Palace Car Company, the Guggenheim Museum and the Refining Company and other prominent American and Mexican Corporations.
For a solution of Mexico's difficulties, Senior de la Garza puts his hope in the fifteen million peaceful inhabitants of Mexico who he declares have not been heard, and because attention has been paid to but one side. He maintains many false opinions and absurd beliefs exist in regard to Mexico. He believes that Mexico's problems are not those the sword can eradicate but that they are ages old and must be rescued from the worst, that has come to Mexico, he says, is that which she has suffered because of her standing with other nations and this estimate of other nations is largely wrong he maintains, because only the warring factions have been heard.
Senor de la Garza's lecture is the third of a series arranged by the University Lecture Committee.
NEED MASTER'S DEGREE
advanced Chemical Students in Demand Now
Because of the increasing demand for men who have taken more work than the regular four-year course in chemistry and chemical engineering; the faculty members in the department of chemistry are urging the students to take an additional thirty hours of graduate work for either a degree of Master of Arts or Master of Science.
Students working for degrees in fat department may take the studies they desire with the exception of a thesis which should not take more than one-third of their time. The thesis must be on the solution of some research problem along the line of pure or applied chemistry.
The department advises those working for a degree to take ten hours of work in either physics, geology, engineering, mathematics, or natural science, and the remaining twenty hours of work in chemistry.
SIGMA XI WILL HOLD
INITIATION THURSDAY NIGHT
Sigma Xi, honary scientific fraternity, will hold initiation Thursday night at the Alpha Chi Sigma house, 1614 Kentucky Street, for Clarence Estes, food analyst, Ivan P. Parkhurst, graduate, and Burnett O. Bower, Emile C. Lefevre, Gerald Sparks, senior engineers.
Doctor John Sandwall will speak on the Inter-relationship of Endocrine
The committee in charge of the entertainment are: Messrs Latimer, Ramssey, Dains, H. C. Allen, Cady, Watson, Watson, Stratton, and Classen.
A new edition of the laboratory guide for qualitative analysis to be used next semester has just been issued. Prof. F. V. P. Faragher, of the department of chemistry, revised the book and the Profs. E. H. S. Bailey and H. P. Cady. This manual is used in most of the colleges of Kansas.

BEAT NEBRASKA TOMORROW NIGHT
"It Can Be Done in One Big Rally," Say Enthusiastic Students
EVERYBODY COMING OUT
Fraser Chapel to Witness Biggest Rally of Year—"Beat Nebraska."
EVERYBODY OUT!
The restraining bands of true Kansas spirit could not hold another day, and Captain Gedney and his army of gloom dispellers have announced the big rally of the season for tomorrow night in Fraser Chapel.
Enthusiasm for the annual clash with our ancient enemy in the north has already reached enormous proportions. Kansas believes that six consecutive defeats at the hands of one squad is enough and, knowing that they are backing a team with the best chance for victory in years, the rooters will do their part to encourage the warriors before they leave for the battle. Thunder night, Bubba is the sole topic of conversation in every part of town and the general feeling is that “there’s something in the air.”
"The rally won't be one of the cut-and-dried type," promised Gedney. "We will have the coaches and whose team there. Coach Olcott will speak for the first time this year. He has an opportunity and I think the message that he will deliver will be more than worth a trip to the Hill.
A REAL PROGRAM
"Coach Clark is also on the program and Captain Lindsey will give his opinion of the conflict. We have the assurance of these men that our chances to win were never better, and it is our time to show that we are behind the team. The adverse talk evident among students at the first of what threatened to be a poor season, is no longer heard, and I take this as an indication of a big turnout for the rally tomorrow."
The band and glee club will join in the effervescence of spirit when the final announcement of the number of rooters to make the trip to Nebraska be made. In the meantime the signers are fast turning in their names to Coach Hamilton, and it looks is if a large per cent of the thunderng thousand will be on the side lines o make certain a Kansas victory.
At noon today only ten more names were needed to insure the special train to Lincoln Friday night. The railroads refuse to furnish a special train on more promises, but if the students agree to go by signing a petition, the train will be provided. Students in college are invited at the last moment, but the demand now is for a few students who are going to sign the petition. A phone call to Manager Hamilton's office will do the same as a signature.
CHEMICALS WILL MEET
Kansas City Branch to Make Plans for National Meeting
Plans for the National Convention of the American Chemical Society which will be held at Lawrence and Kansas City, Missouri will be dis- tected. H. P. Cady will give a lecture, "Some Modern Views on the Atom."
The Kansas City section of the American Chemical Society will hold a meeting Saturday, November 18, in Room C209 of the Chemistry Building at 2:30 p.m.
"The membership of the society has reached over the eight hundred mark and several hundred members are expected at the national convention here in April," said Prof. W. A. Whitaker, head of the American Society, "and there will probably be some speakers here of international repute."
PATTerson TALKS ON WAR AND NEWSPAPERS
the members of the Sigma Delta Chi, national journalism fraternity, and local newspapermen will hear Prof. D. L. Patterson of the depart- ment of the university, witnesses as a war correspondent in France, at the Pi Upsilon house tonight.
Mr. Patterson is an old newspaper man but he visited the war zone primarily to study the war from an historical standpoint. He will tell of the difficulties he encountered in reaching the front and of his treatment while in the war zone. He will also tell the young newspaperman why it is easier to get unreliable war news which unscrupulous reporters know will make good reading for those on this side of the Atlantic.
