VOLUME XIV.
COMMITTEE WILL
HANDLE DISCIPLINE
Senate Authorizes Chancellor to Appoint Permanent Disciplinary Body
TO PROBE NAUGHTY RALLY
A permanent disciplinary organization in the University Senate probably will be effected at the next meeting of the Senate. The Senate yesterday afternoon authorized the appointment by Chancellor Strong of a committee to determine the best manner of handling discipline. This committee report at the next meeting of the Senate at Chancellor Strong went to notice this morning to attend the meeting of the State Teachers' Association, and probably will appoint the committee upon his return the first of next week.
Temporary Organization Will Recommend Action To Be Taken
While awaiting the report of this committee on a permanent disciplinary regulation, the temporary disciplinary committee, which Chancellor Strong will appoint the first of next week, will investigate the conditions surrounding the naughty rally which recommend what action shall be taken at the meeting of the senate month. Little investigation, but the come been made public, but the come instructors familiar with the cause and results of the rally, and will recommend to the Senate just what punishment shall be given the leaders.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON. NOVEMBER 9, 1916.
"Preventative medicine has become more popular and curative," said an esteemed senior at the Harvard School of Medicine.
This temporary committee also will consider other questions of discipline now confronting the State chief of police and several dangerous, and will report at the next meeting.
No committee for the consideration of permanent disciplinary regulations has yet been appointed, so it is not known just what means will be adopted for enforcing the student regulations, but many members of the committee will be of the nature defined by Dr. Strong as "prudential."
One preventative method suggested is the appointment of a permanent committee from the Senate to keep in touch with the students through regular meetings, and the chief of which is the Student Council, and advise not only the students but also the faculty members of what students desire. By instilling higher ideals among the students, the Senate thinks this committee should be able to move more than any purification formed merely for the purpose of punishment.
RELATES EXPERIENCES
The chancellor will retain the power now in his hands, of enforcing University regulations, and, where preventative methods do not work and the university, he will act as judge, with the disciplinary committee as jury.
Howarth Tells Students of Government Work
"A packer with the United States Geological Survey has a world of fun. gets good pay, and an experiences which is worth years in school," according to John A. Howarth, who spoke on life at the United States Geological Survey"before the Geology Club, yesterday afternoon in Haworth Hall.
Mr. Howard, who is taking special work in geology, was a member of the government party which surveyed the Mesa Verde region in southwestern Colorado, in 1914. On account of the beauty of this spot the government made it into a national park containing 48,966 acres.
In this park are the prehistoric dwellings, which were discovered in 1888. One of the houses that is smaller than Haworth Hall was the home of 350 people. The rooms are very small, the doors being only three feet high.
The survey trip extended into the states of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah. Mr. Howarth had his picture taken with each of his hands and feet in a different one of the four states at the same time.
He showed the club several photographs which he took on the trip, and answered several questions which members of the club asked.
The Kansas Student Volunteer Conference which is under the auspices of the Kansas Student Volunteer Union, will meet at Baker University, in Baldwin, November 17, 18 and 19. There will be many addresses and interviews on the subject, "The War's Challenge to the Kansas Student."
Mu Phi Epsilon announces the pledging of Babel Trump of Formosa.
DIRECTORIES MAY YET BE
PUBLISHED BY STUDENTS
Hope for the dear old directory was rejuvenated this morning. "We think the student directory will be printed by the state soon," said George O. Foster, registrar, "but certain action is not definite as yet.
"As a last resort we can give the privilege of printing the directory to some enterprising students as was the custom years ago, but now the publishers get so many ads that it spoils the appearance of the directory."
CLASSES MEET ON McCOOK FRIDAY
Seniors Doped to Win Annual Classic—Other Classes Have Stars
The annual fall interclass track meet will start on McCook Field at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon. Indications are that another victory will be added to the long string already won in class meets by the class of '16, but the freshman class this year has some star men who may upset the dope.
The present senior class has won four successive class meets in the last two weeks, and with such men as Davidson, Cowill, Rodkey, Staterl, Miller, Howland, Sproull, Groene, Small, Crowley, and Grutzmacher in their lineup they have a fine chance to win Friday. Grutzmacher is probably the best broad jumper in the school and many of the others are Varsity men
FROSTY
The freshmen have several high school stars in their ranks and will probably make the meet interesting for the other classes. Grissom, Schwartz, Marshall, Rustenback, Stephens, and Haddock appear to be the winners for the freshmen. The sophomores showed up well last fall and the juniors seem to be as strong as the sgphs. These two classes may spring a surprise on the yearlings and the seniors.
The sophomores have Dillon, Murphy, Couchman, Woodward, Seward, Casey, and Welch. The juniors have Cleary, Oleary, and Cross as their best bets.
Any man in the University may compete in the meet Friday and there is a good chance for a track man to win one of the four medals offered in each event, as well as to help his class win the meet. The usual number and order of events run off in Missouri Valley contests will prevail in the meet. The meet is sure to be a close one.
VALLEY MEET AT AMES
The next cross country run will be the Missouri Valley meet at Ames, November 18, before the Iowa-Ames game. Missouri, Kansas Aggies, and Ames are the other teams sure to be in the meet. Ames considers the KU team as their most formidable rivals.
Kansas missed winning the run last year by a narrow margin, Ames beating them. This year the Kansas squad should beat Ames if the early season showing is any indication of the strength of the team. Ames has almost the same team which they had last year.
W. A. A. ELECTION WAXES LIVELY
Galaxy of Honorable Mention Students Seeking the Six Offices
Four more towns were admitted last week to membership in the League of Kansas Municipalities, making the total membership 132 towns and cities. The new members are Osborne, in Osborne county; Powell, in Hodgeman county; Jemore, in Hodgeman county; Benton, in Butler county.
"It promises to be another close election," said Miss Hazel Pratt, instructor in the department of physical education, this morning when asked about the W. A. A. election in Robinson gymnasium Friday.
There are two candidates for every office except those of student manager and sophomore representative Miriam Jones is sole contestant for the management, and there are three 'or the sophomore place.
Five of the candidates have never missed work on the floor any week that they have been in the University Dorothy Cole, candidate for president; Margaret Hodder, candidate for secretary; Annette Ashton, candidate for senior representative, and Joyce Brown and Dorothy Tucker, candidates for junior representative, have received honorable mention in athletics and are active workers in the department this year.

Students Will Gather at Woodland Park for the Big Barbeque
BEEF TO SIZZLE IN PIT FRIDAY
PROVISIONS FOR ONLY 200
Sombreros, Flannel Shirts and Cords the Thing Says Committee
Arrangements for the big feed, the first of the kind ever attempted at the University, were practically completed today. The committee is planning for 200 persons. When this limit is reached, no more tickets can be sold. The dancing pavilion at Woodland park has been engaged for a western dance after the meat roast and games.
Around a glowing pit of coal in the center of which will be sizzling the biggest and most unctuous chunk of beef ever offered a K. U. crowd. Associated Journalism students and as many from other schools and departments as can secure tickets before to-morrow noon, will gather late Friday afternoon to experience their first taste of a real western barbecue.
From the moment the hikers arrive at Woodland with appetites whetted by the brisk tramp—the celebrators will be treated to something as different from the ordinary meat roast as the Boheman supper dance was from the ordinary dance. Western contests, including roping in cowboy pastimes and guards around the house, will fill the interim between the supper and the dance. Ukeleles, banjos, guitars and other instruments will be welcomed.
Somberers, flannel shirts and sweaters will be the popular style for both men and women. All men journalists will wear cords. A date is not a need as the harbours as many residents are planning to attend unaccompanied.
The crowd will meet in South Park, corner of Massachusetts and Twelfth streets, at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon, for the jaundit to Woodland Park. Tickets may be secured at the Kansan office today.
TRAIN WRECKED NEAR LAWRENCE

The dining car was filled with soldiers returning home from the border. They were rescued by the fireman who broke the windows, allowing their escape.
Girls, Here's Your Chance
A longed for opportunity has arrived. The journalism barbacave presents it. It will be possible, not only to educate or indicate, but the University women to appear at this social event without the usual accompaniment of a date. And from the straws which show which way the wind blows, not only the women in journalism but the women in other departments, are going to avail themselves of the opportunity.
The proposed Commerce Club will be definitely organized at the Alpha Tau house tonight. Prof. H. D. Harper of the department of economics and students of the department are interested in the formation of such an organization. It is proposed to petition a national economic fraternity after the local club perfects its plans.
Chancellor Strong accompanied the wrecking train to Newman, the exact location of the wreck. Later he went to Topeka. This morning Mrs. Strong reported that Mr. Ranson was resting easy and his condition was not serious.
Fair and warmer tonight, Friday increasing cloudiness probably followed by rain, colder northwest by spring, cooler southeast portion, much colder by Saturday.

STATE TEACHERS MEETING OPENS
PROMINENT MEN TO SPEAK
Record Enrollment For Fifty Fourth Session of State Association in Topeka
Alumni Reunions of Various State Schools Occasions of Much Interest
Topkea, Kans., Nov. 9—(Special)
With more than four thousand teachers enrolled representing every county in the state the Kansas State Teachers' Association opened its fifty-fourth annual session here this morning. Earlier years faded into the distance as the advance registration reached almost the figure for the entire enrollment last year.
The program began this morning at the City Auditorium on Quincy street, with the preliminary work of the association. Little more than
DR. GEORGE D. STRAYER
half of the total enrollment was present when the session opened but the crowd increased steadily all morning
The program opened with an organ recital by Prof. R. G. Jackson of Western University. A male quartet from the University of Kansas won the competition by rendering several selections, among them college songs.
two important addresses were on the morning program. Dr. George D. Strayer of Columbia University, spoke on "Our Schools and the Development of American Ideals." Dr. Strayer told of the development of the schools in the different ages and of the different view taken of the children than the one entertained in the former periods. He said that students of the present day are longer memorizing machines but that they are thinking machines tending to be entirely original.
Tonight the University of Kansas alumni reunion will be one of the main attractions on the program. This reunion is expected to be the largest of any of the twenty-one in connection with the convention.
BETTER OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS
The other address of the morning was that by Supt. J. H. Franeis of Columbus, Ohio, on the subject "The American High School, Its Opportunities and Responsibilities."
BOOKWORMS LIKE
DATELESS NIGHT
Otherwise Rising Moon Attracts and Spooner Loses "Grinds"
An inquiry as to what time students consider the most profitable for study is being conducted by A. J. Boynton, of the department of economics, through the librarian in the history, sociology, and economics department on the basis that it is made to find out what students study, it being the supposition that all that enter have to grind on required outside reading.
On the other evenings the number falls below one hundred, while on Saturday and Sunday it is about twice as much; consider it worth while studying are about fifteen or less.
Monday and Thursday evening are the most popular hours when bookworms come out after set of sun. Usually from 125 to 135 students enter on these evenings from six to ten o'clock. At no time are so many present, however, since students are constantly leaving as well as entering.
"Juniors Select Shirts is Distinctive Dress," reads a headline in the Indiana Daily Student. Wonder if that style got by the Board of Censorship?
DATE RULE IS NOT OFF
FOR H. S. DANCE TONIGHT
"All women students who attend the high school dance given tonight at Ecke's Hall are breaking the date rule," Mona Clare Huffman, president of the W. S. G. A., announced this morning.
"Many of the women unintentionally break the date rule by attending dances given by organizations not under the supervision of the University. University women are not permitted to attend such dances by rules of the University and of the W. S. G. A."
STUDENTS ATTEND CHURCH SUNDAY
Lawrence Churches to Hold Services for Undergraduates of University
The churches and various religious organizations in Lawrence are making a concentrated effort to get every university student in the city to go to church next Sunday. This is University Sunday. All these teams, and religious programs will attempt to conform to the needs of the students.
This is an unusual courtesy shown the K. U. undergraduates by the Lawrence churches. Its purpose is to show the good will of the church people of this city towards the East End and asks that the East student is earnestly and individually requested to be present at the services in some church.
If one has a preference, he is specially invited to attend the church of his own creed; if none, a cordial meeting meets him at any church in Lawrence.
"We have no special show to stage," said one minister, "we simply want the students of the University to become interested in and connected with some organization for good while they are spending the year away from home. We desire that they as a body may realize the place they are present at their very doors, even while they are students. The Ministerial Alliance hopes that every man and woman in the University will come out Sunday, and make the day a grand success."

Mystery Surrounds Disappearance of William Brock, Freshman Miner

read this I will be in Kansas City.” This note which was signed Bill was the only notice left by William Brock, a freshman miner, who left the University last Monday night. Brock's home is in Kansas City. He roomed at a house of a friend at 845 Mississippi. On Monday night the students attending a fraternity meeting and when he returned he found the note. Prof. George Hood, of the School of Engineering, said he knew nothing of the disappearance of Brock. It was learned from Professor Hood that Brock was getting an “unsatisfactory” in mathematics and Spanish. In fact, he said the man to leave the University or not I cannot say, but I think there must be some other cause besides this,” said Professor Hood.
Friends of Brock say that a girl in Kansas City has a great deal of influence over him and that probably causes of his sudden disappearance.

STILL AWAITING ELECTION RETURNS
University Students Anxiously Anticipate Final Outcome of Election
AFFECTING THEIR WORK
Professors Say Students Are Coming to Class Tired Out
At 3:15 this afternoon the presidential race continued to be anybody's race. Both candidates continue to claim the election while the results in four states, California, Minnesota, New Mexico and North Dakota, remain in doubt. These three electoral votes divided as follows: California 13, Minnesota 12, New Mexico 3 and North Dakota 5. Reports on the counting of ballots in these states are conflicting.
...
At the time of going to press, the big question of the day—who will be our next president, Wilson or Hughes, still remained undecided. At the best, the outcome of the turbulent presidential election is merely conjecture and your figures on the result are as good as anybody's.
All eyes are turned toward Minnesota and California, for it is in these pivotal states that there remain enough uncounted votes to swing the election either Republican or Democratic. Apparently, Minnesota and California are enjoying the attention which they are receiving from the people throughout the nation as there is no indication of the contests in these two states being settled before Friday.
STUDENTS ARE INTERESTED Election fervor at the University is unusually intense and not since the election of Cleveland has there been such keen interest in a presidential Nearly 2000 students woke up this morning with the question on their lips, "Who's elected?" or "What's the latest dope?" They only learned that the returns are incomplete.
The anxiety, the suspense, the uncertainty of it all, for K. U. students, has only accumulated throughout the day. The Wilson men at one fraternity house were ready at any hour of the day to drape the President's picture with red, white and blue; around the picture of Hughes the men hovered around the picture, above them, with several yards of crepe. It was only the final result of the great presidential contest that they were awaiting.
STRAIN AFFECTS STUDY
Students gave the election employees of the local newspapers no rest吁. They kept central continually plunging into a bon enthusiasm on the Hill is said to have called on the local information bureau twenty-six times today for dope. He would anxiously grab hold of a receiver and when his party answered, his question was pruned of all superficialities of speech, it merely was "What do you say?"
Even the professors have remarked that the strain of the election on the students is making a noticeable inroad upon their work. Lack of sleep for the past three nights has caused the students to be somewhat bleary-eyed. When the final count of the presidential contest is learned students may again get their allotted number of hours of sleep each night, but until then, no chance.
Due to the absence of Chancellor Frank Strong who is attending the State Teachers' Convention in Topeka, the convocation scheduled for Friday will be postponed until November 24th. Next week Dr. Strong will go to Washington to attend a meeting of the National Association of State Universities of which he is president.
CONVOCATION POSTPONED DR. STRONG TO WASHINGTON
The convention will be held on the 13th and 14th of November in the New Willard Hotel in Washington, D. C. Dr. Dr. Strong has been president of the association for the past year. Members of the association are the presidents and chancellors of the different state universities.
The Christian Endeavors of the Presbyterian church will take a hike to Woodland Park Friday evening. All Presbyterian students and those not affiliated with any other church are invited to meet at the church at 7:30 Friday evening and share the fun.
