Cady, chairman on University Assemblies, to start off the campaign for Assyrian relief, Nazareth Boyajian, a student in the University School of Law, and a native Armenian, who is an instructor at students and faculty at that time, and make a personal appeal for his people.
The work of solicitation for funds will be started immediately, both faculty and students being called upon for support in soliciting, and especially in giving. The faculty will be solicited by members of their class, and the student contributions will be handled through the various class officers.
Chancellor Has Set November 17 Aside for Starting Big Campaign
An effort will be made by the committee in charge, of which Chancellor Strong is the chairman, to see every effort made by a committee to get a. contributing from. everybody
The campaign will differ this year from the one carried on last year in that contributions of money only will be asked. According to Chancellor Strong it is too late in the year now to send clothes as was done last year, and the money is being handled by the general committee on Assyrian and Armenian relief whose headquarters are in New York, and where such clothes as are essential can be purchased there at wholesale prices.
"WE HAD A GOOD TIME"-Y.M-Y.-W.
Many Students Enjoy Party in Robinson Gymnasium Saturday Night
About 350 students attended the M.-Y. W. party given in Robinson Gymnasium Saturday evening. "While there was not so large a crowd as there was at the first party, because so many students were out of town," Ms. Bohan said. "The best of the y, W. C., A., “it was one of the best mixers that has ever been given."
Readings were given by Harry Haitan and Leland Smith. After the readings the crowd went upstairs and got acquainted. Here each man was supressed so that only the crowd was divided into groups and danced the Virginia Reel. After the Virginia Reel, a farce, "Kid Kurlers," was given by Prof. Arthur MacMurray's class in dramatics. No man could see the farce unless he had a hat, and other clothes he had brought to the party. This made every one feel acquainted. The party ended with the singing of K. U. songs.
SENIOR ENGINEER PRESENTS
RARE BOOK TO LIBRARY
F. W. Campbell, a senior in the School of Engineering, has presented a rare and curious book to the University Library. It is a "History of the American Revolution," written in 1765 by Robert Burns. The book is divided into sixty chapters and the chapters are divided into verses after the manner of the Scriptures. The story is written in the archaic English of the King James version of the Bible. Bound in with this book is a memoir written in verse by the same author entitled "The Columbiad, a poem in thirteen cantos."
In the preface the author says that his purpose will be accomplished if his effort acts as a "stimulus" to someone more favored of the muses and that he will revolution in a poetical dress. The first edition of the scriptural history was printed in Philadelphia in 1754, and it was reissued in new editions at Clinton, Ohio, in 1815 and in Frederick county, MD., in 1823. The copy that Mr. Campbell brought to the court was Ohio edition. It is an interesting example of the kind of thing that our forefathers must have liked to read.
Graduate Was Elected

DIRECTORIES READY BEFORE
THANKSGIVING VACATION
"The University student directories will be ready for distribution by Thanksgiving vacation" said Sperer. "We're going to State Printing department Saturday."
"This means that we will have the directories earlier than we had last year," said GEO. O. Foster this morning; "also that it means a saving to the hundreds of three or four hundred dollars and of over a dozen parties who have been trying to secure the work of printing."

CRIBES HOLD BARBECUE
Eats Were Followed by a Real Western Dance
That the journalism barbecue furnished the best fun of the year is the opinion of the crowd of scribes who sought the unusual and unconventional at the Dairy Park Friday night, all to tell the story of western barbecue. The beef was cooked over a heap of embers in a deep pit and was accompanied by roasted sweet potatoes, eschacha (Spanish for beans and pimentos), wheat and a full autumn weather woodsmoke and a full moon set the stage for the affair.
Rehearsals for the "Chimes of Normandy" will take place tonight at 7:30 at the Robinson Gymnasium. "Rehearsals are coming along fine," said Prof. W. B.

Chancellor Made Opening Ad dress Today to "College Prexies"
FACULTY HEADS HEAR DR. STRONG
UNIVERSITIES HAVE DUTY
Must Develop True Spirit of Nationalism and Pa-
riotism
Washington, D. C., Nov. 13. "State universities especially must help develop a true nationalism," declared Bancellor Frank Strong, this morning in the opening talk at the twenty-first annual meeting of the National Association of State Universities, of which Dr. Strong is president, which opened here today. The meeting will ast two days.
In his opening talk, Dr. Strong graphically outlined the position state universities are beginning to play in the higher education system, spoke briefly on the two great difficulties which hamper state institutions, and discussed the conditions in universities which give rise to the problem of criticism to which they are subjected.
"The second is that which prevents the settlement of educational questions on their merits. In other words, it is the elimination of politics from the control of educational questions and the establishment of universities so far as it may be indicated by enrollment seems to be passing to the state universities.
“At least two difficulties greatly hamper many state institutions. The first is the bondage of state universities to the immediately practical, the enormity of powerful pressure to which such institution is a purely utilitarian standard.
He said in part:
"This tendency toward a general distribution of the student body in university institutions is the state universities of medium size, where eighty-four other institutions were represented by students bringing credentials for advanced stand-
"Universities in the United States are becoming international in the distribution of their student bodies. Even before the war began there was a pronounced drift to America for college and university work. In 1918 four thousand foreign students were emancipated in universities and colleges in the United States, an increase of five hundred seventy-seven in two years.
"State universities especially must help develop a true nationalism. We are not fully a nation. We do not
$5.00 FOR A NEW SONG

Dean Butler, Prof. William Downing and H. Charles, the manager of the Club, will be judges. All the material entered should be turned in to either Professor Downing or Mr. Charles.
"Constructive criticism of this nature has been very rare in newspaper reviews; its possibilities are going to be realized," said Mrs. Kelly.
Mrs. Florence M. Kelly, graduated from the University of Kansas in 1881, now with the Book Review department of the New York Times spoke this morning to one of the journalism classes concerning her ethics and which ethics she has worked out and which she uses with so much success.
FORMER K. U. GRAD TELLS
HOW TO REVIEW BOOKS
Her system of ethics is founded on the Golden Rule—it is a "put-yourself-in-his-place" attitude which she tries to assume when she reviews the author's effort. She eliminates as much as possible the personal equation and tries to discover the author's purpose, whether or not he has acclimatized to his purpose, and in eith case whether it was worth accomplishing.
Senor de la Garza, a lawyer and statesman of Mexico, will speak at the University Club, Friday. Novem-

WOULD ABOLISH PADDLING FROSH
Ministers Grow Sympathetic for Yearlings Who Disfigure Campus
Declaring that in some schools in the East paddling such as exists at K. U. would be resisted by the students, the Rev, Evan Alexander Edwards, rector of Trinity Episcopa Church, strongly urged every man a the University to use his influence to the movement to stop paddling.
Further impetus to the recently organized movement against K. U. paddling came yesterday when a number of Lawrence ministers referred to the subject in their Student Day event, in order that the present custom be abolished.
"K.U. students wish to be teacher, men and women; yet we find a prevalent practice that not only has dangerous possibilities for permanent students in the school in the eyes of people over the state," the Rev. Mr. Edwards said.
Dr. Noble Strong Elderin, of the Plymouth Congregational Church, appealed to the freshman class to show sympathy for future K. U. yearlings.
"Upperclassmen use various methods to make freshmen understand that they are freshmen," he said. "To them, it is hard to heartless. Seniors and juniorans can't help much—they have outgrown their indignation—and sophomores will not. The solution rests with the present freshmen who still feel the sting; these are the ones that next year's freshman class shall not be subjected to paddling."

"Eighty-two students in the University of Chicago have taken their doctorsate under Dr. Coulter," said Dr. Graze Charles, assistant professor in the department of Botany, who was one of his students, "and it is not exaggeration to say that Dr. Coulter was the inspiration which has lead many of them to add much to the science of botany and to occupy high positions in the departments of botany in universities and colleges from Massachusetts to Washington, from Canada to Texas, and in England, Japan, India, and Australia." The university's curriculum as circuit speaker for the Kansas and Missouri chapters of Sigma Xi.

K. U. Man, Under Age, Bears Title of County Attorney-Elect Since Tuesday
STUDENT WINS COUNTY ELECTION
The latest way of working one's way through school has been found by Herschel L. Washington, c19, from LeoTi, Kansas, who was elected county attorney of Wichita County at the recent election.
Chances for victory over the Cornhuskusers were never better in recent years, according to football critics who saw the K. U.-Washburn contest in Topeka Saturday, "Vic" Halligan, assistant to Head Coach Stewart at Nebraska, made the statement himself, "The Huskers are fully aware of the Kansans' strength," he told the Jayhawker players, "and we believe that you'll give this year's Nebraska eleven a terrible fight."
And for the first time in six years, Kansas is *goin* to win.
Washington's father is the only Republican attorney in Wichita County. There are two Democratic lawyers, one of whom was running for county attorney. The Republicans of the county wanted Mr. Washington, Sr., to take the law business was paying too well to neglect it for the county office. He mentioned that his son, Herschel, who has helped in the law office for several summers, won a case this summer involving one hundred fifty dollars. There was no time to have the man hired in Washington Jr. printed on the ballot. Hershey in his friend wrote it in and he won in the primary receiving sixty votes.
The country clerk, believing it unconstitutional, refused to put his name on the ballot. His friends at Leoti appealed to the attorney general who ruled that Washington's name be on the ballot as the duly nominated candidate. And he won by a majority of fifteen votes.
"Yes, it is true," said Herschel this morning. "My friends out there did it. But I think it will be contested. I am only nineteen, going on twenty, and the folks think I am too young. I will have to withdraw from school the second semester if no contest is made of the election."
Washington, Jr., was the speaker of the day at the dedication of the new Wichita County courthouse September 7. In his remarks he told the people of the county that they were not providing adequate school facilities for their children. Before this speech Mr. Bush said that had not been taken very seriously. But that speech made the folks of the county take notice.
Washington refused to leave school this fall to campaign but he did write a personal letter to every voter in the state, urging them not to turn away at torture of Wichita County, Kansas.
CAMPAIGN TO A CLIMAX
Will Provide for Y. M. C. A. Budget Get This Week
The greatest financial campaign that the University Y. M. C. A. has ever had is reaching its climax. Already $1,500 have been pledged by students and faculty members. Of this amount $950 is actual cash. The committees are yet to see five humane members, from them $800 will easily be realized, according to Hugo Wedel, promoter of the work.
If this amount is secured the budget of $3,950 will be provided for. All reports of the committees are to be in Thursday night, November 16.
"Kansas Looks Good"
Kirk Hilton, c15, was on the Hill several days last week. During the time that he was here he had an opportunity to see the Varsity football foyle against the freshmen. He says that the manatent history over Nebraska looks better than any other time since he entered the University.
Whether the rooters will have a special train to and from Lincoln is o be determined by the men themselves, according to Manager Hamilton. "If forty men will sign an agreement to go on the special, we will have he train," he said this morning. A list was started immediately, and three weeks later the same day soon. The remaining twenty-eight names must go on the list by tomorrow noon if the special is to be secured.
"Students who want to go should come to the office and sign up, or call 'K. U. 82' on the telephone and let us know," said Manager Hamilton. "Little difficulty is expected in securing the requisite number. In all probability, 300 or more rooters will finally arrive. The students will leave Lawrence Friday evening for Lincoln; and will leave Lincoln at 11 p. m. Saturday night.
Three hundred tickets for the game were received by Manager Hamilton this morning. They are on sale on office. The price is two dollars each.
WASHBURN WAS A PIPE
It took the Jayhawk Varsity exactly two minutes to score on the lighter Washburn eleven Saturday, Straight football, with the frequent use of a spread-eagle shift and a tackle swing, was responsible for the Kansas tallies. The forward pass was used to advantage, also, though Woodward, who was sent in during the final quarter, refused to exhibit any brilliant "stuff" before the Nebraska coaches, who were watching the game from the stands. The mere fact that Woodward made a pice of play was enough to provide life which missed the goal by inches because of the strong wind is another comforting thing to Kansas supporters. It suggests a possible way of scoring on the Cornhuskers should all other methods fail.
Saturday's game came very nearly being a monotonous succession of tramps down the field on the part of the Jayhawkers. Captain Stewart, of the Washburn team, exhibited the skill of running and jumping—and his efforts alone were not enough to stop the Kansas Jugger-(Continued on page 4)
TEACHER A PATIENT CHAP
Eulogized by Gallant, Poet Who Sees Virtue
On the cover of the November number of the Kansas Teacher is the following definition of a school teacher;
"The teacher is a patient chap who toils for meager pay, to edify some littleap whose mind is bent on play. For half a year the teacher works, accumulating seeds, then spends and outlines the subject for books and other fads, that he may be fitted by the summer institute to cultivate the young idea and teach it how to shoot. School is not what it was when you and I were small; such useless things as A, B, C are hardly taught at all. Kids learn to teach the science they learn to spell, and little girls taught to cook and do the housework well. The boys now find their daily task not quite so dull and stale, for nothing better could they ask than hammer, saw and nail. The teacher works for menter wage, but has to study hard, from off he printed page some forty kindles, how that he may guide the young idea along the proper way, and that is why it seems to me we ought to raise his pay."
H. H. Shafer, 'c19, attended the State Teachers' Convention at Topeka, Friday and Saturday.
