UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 30.1914
"EVERYBODY OUT" FOR INTERCLASS PRACTICE
Men of Every Description Uphold Honor of Year on Hamilton
Big men, little men, fat men, slim men—in suits of nearly every color of the rainbow throughed Hamilton Field yesterday afternoon in an effort to distinguish themselves by upholding the honor of their respective classes in the 1914 interclass football league.
By reason of their numbers, and Prof. H. A. Lorenz, the freshmen won first blood by more than holding their own in a scrimmage against a team of "All Stars." The stars were coached by several Varsity men and fifteen or twenty spectators.
As a postulate to the main attraction the two freshmen squads staged a three minute battle in the semi-darkness.
It was the last quarter of the Missouri-Kansas game at Lawrence last Saturday. The Jayhawkers were still fighting but their chances of scoring more points appeared almost hopeless. The ball had been in the Tigers' possession practically all the time since the second half began.
Real practice will start this afternoon when the Varsity regulars, and Coaches Bond, McCarty and Weidlein will start drilling their proteges for the championship battle two weeks hence. From the number of players checked on from Managher Hamilton's office and at McCook Field the coaches will have squads of nearly forty to pick each elever from.
KANSAS, WHAT DETAINS YOU?
K. U. Alumnus Couldn't See Why Jayahawkers Didn't Score
Each team will play one game the winners of the first series contending in a final battle for the championship. The deciding battle of last year was won by the 1916 class.
Of a sudden an old Kansas alumnus, gray haired and bearded rose from his seat in the bleachers. Evidently he was very much disappointed with the Jayhawkers' showing. Pulling out his手kerchief他 drew it across his forehead and thundered "Kansas, Kansas, what in the h—detaining you?" —University Missouri.

Humorist, Closely Connected With K. U., Asked to Write by Editor
Leon Harsh, editor of the Jayhawker, wrote to Mr. Fitch today and asked him, since many of his stories are founded at K. U., to write an article for the Jayhawker. Choice of subject was left to Mr. Fitch. It may be a sketch of college life in particular, or it may be a story telling of how this University entered into the old Siwash Tales.
The student directories are out now. Three months have elapsed since the collection of the material for them. During this time many students may have changes to their records that are inaccuracies in the publication as it appears; otherwise this is the daily Kansan will publish any correction that students may wish to make.
Are You Listed Right in the Directory?
Mr. Fitch's relationship to K. U. is further increased by the fact that he married a local Theta girl.

ABOUT GREAT WHITE WAY
"Up, down, gone, and up again," is the shortest of the tellie history of E. C. (Ted) Mercer, the famous social service worker, soon to lecture at K. U. under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A.
Mercer, himself, will tell the story of his wrecked college career, of his many dissipations, and of his rise He has spoken at every university of standing in this country, and has the reputation of knowing more college fraternity men than any other man in the world.
Mercer once attended the University of Virginia and later registered at Princeton. During the four years of his college career, he spent nearly $100,000 of his father's money, in and around New York City. After that he was "down and out" for a long time, finally, however, coming back and taking up his present work.

K. U. WILL GIVE MOTT FULL RIGHT OF WAY
University Calendar to be Cleared for Y. M. C. A.
Campaign Week
"When John R. Mott is on the Hill, March 5 to 8 we expect to keep the University calendar clear of conflicting interests," declared Con Hoffman at the meeting of the Mott campaign committee in Myers. Hall last night.
"I have seen the heads of most of the departments of the University, and am assured that they will do all in their power to give Mott the right information to oppose the raternities and student organizations so not to allow their social functions to interfere with the success of the meetings.
"Some members of the committee feel that we are starting out too early in preparing for Mott, but when we consider the delays made necessary by new equipment and the semester examinations, we see that we haven't any too much time to prepare for such an important event. It will be necessary for every committeeman to be present at every meeting of the committee, beginning tonight."
The following tentative program of the campaign was adopted. First day: Reception of Mott at station, faculty lecture for Mott, conference of leaders and committee chairmen, committee banquet (students, faculty, ministers, alumni, men, leaders). Second day: All University convolution in Robinson Gymnastium, luncheon for Mott by business men of Lawrence, interviews, conferences, special meeting for all Engineers, first big all-men's meeting, life work institutes, committee-meetings, special meeting of Laws, special meeting of all seniors, women's meeting, special meeting for Medics, men's big meeting, life work institutes, committee-men's meeting, house meetings in fraternities, clubs. Fourth day: Meeting of all fraternities, special alumni meeting, special alumni meeting, men's meeting. Fifth day: Life work conference, final men's big meeting, farewell Thanksgiving services.
WHO WILL BE 1915 CAPTAIN?
Thought That Choice for Place Lies Between Burton and James
Who will be captain of the Kansas football team next year?
The Jayhawker squad will meet soon to choose their leader for next year. Considerable speculation as to the new leader has been made among students. It is thought the choice is meant between Burton and James. Burton will play in year 1915 as will James. Both are All-Vallley men, James winning his place this season and Burton was selected last fall.
RUSSIAN JEANS DWELL M
MEAGRE AREA, SAYS AUTHOR
"One twenty-fourth of the entire population of Russia is herded in one-two-thousandth of its vast territory," said Mary Antin, Jewish author and lecturer, in a talk before the students at State University last Saturday night. Miss Antin told of the life within the Jewish pale in Russia.
"I have lived the life within this pale," said Miss Antin. "And out of it I came to live your life. Although our race is confined within this narrow district, every hovel of a Jew is an impregnable castle. Can you be free? The secret of it all is that have been taught for centuries to disregard the things of the moment, with an eye on the things to come."

GIRLS WORK OUT SYSTEM
FOR THEIR ON CONDUCT
The girls at the Ohio State University have worked out a system of self-government for themselves. Several divisions have been made of the district around the University campus and one of the girl students has been made head of each district. It is her duty to see that the girls in this districtatisfactorsrooming houses, make their leaves leave at reasonable hours, and see that proper study hours are observed.
Most large universities of the country have installed similar systems. At a meeting of the Western Conference of Women's Self-Government Associations, held at Evanston, Illinois on November 19 and 20, twelve delegates it was found that all of them except Ohio State charge a self-government fee upon the student's registration in college.
"In this respect we consider Ohio decidedly in the lead, since self-government has been installed here with no additional expense, the money used being receipts from the social events given during the year," said Helene Patton, who was one of the delegates.
The self-government rules at the Ohio State University are under the supervision of Miss Caroline Breyfoord, dean of women.
SAYS KANSAN WAS WRONG
ABOUT EATING OF CANDY
The Loose-Wiles Biscuit Company, of Kansas City, objects to a statement in a recent issue of the Daily Kansan that visiting students were "invited to sample sweetmeats but rather doing so when they learned that the amount eaten would be discounted. From the employees' wages."
There is no foundation for any such statement, the secretary of the company writes, "We have pleasure in having particularly students, through our faculty, glad to have them sample our products at the company's expense.

K.U. MONEY WILL BUY FLOUR FOR BELGIANS
White Cross Fund Will Go for Fourth Car Sent From Lawrence
The pledges that have been made to the White Cross total about $2400 with several petitions yet to be checked. Members of the committee believe that the amount will exceed $2500.
University money paid into the White Cross fund at this time will go into the amount that will be used in the purchase of the fourth car of flour shipped from Lawrence to the Belgians. The first car of flour that went out of Lawrence was given by the Plymouth Congregational church. The second and third cars were sent from the city and University jointly.
TWELVE MONTHS SCHOOL
IMPOSSIBLE THIS YEAR
Lack of Money and Necessary Read- adjustments Prevent Adoption of New Plan
That there is little chance of enghething the school term to twelve months at this time, is the opinion of Chancellor Frank Strong. The authorities of the University will not know until late in the spring what the amount of the appropriation for the next two years will be and it would be impossible to make plans for the lengthened term without knowing what amount of money will be available.
A lengthening of the present term would necessitate a readjustment in the departments of the University and this would, in itself, take some time. The number of Chicago has had school twelve months out of the year for some time.
PROF. SCHWEGLER BEGINS
RELIGIOUS SERIES TONIGHT
A similar series of lectures delivered by Professor Schwegler last year proved popular with the stu-
der audience and people of Lawrence. Attendance at the lecture was more than twice as large as that

Prof. R. A. Schwogler will give the first of his annual series of lectures on religious subjects at 7 o'clock this month and the subject will be "The Last Wind-Up."
