MILLION PIECES OF METAL NEEDED TO PRINT ANNUAL
Single Printer Would Work Thirty Weeks in Setting up Type for Jayhawker
Setting up the type does not mean that the book would be finished. The forms containing sixteen pages each must be arranged, proofed and run off on the presses. After all forms are printed they must be cut, gathered, and the amount to be打印 $750 the printer represents only the one item of setting up the type. The others cost money, too.
Printing a college printer is not a one man job. If a single printer set up all the type for an annual the size of the average Jayhawk it would take him thirty weeks to do it. In that time he would handle some 1,200 separate pieces of type and would draw something like $754 for his labor.
for Jayhawker
Binding Takes Cash, Too
One of the costly items is the binding. The bill for this would amount to approximated. One of the intensive material and the individual attention and hand work necessary.
According to former articles in the Daily Kansan the cost of raw paper for the 1915 Jayhawker would run up to $400 and the engraving bill would total $1000. Add to these figures the $750 for setting up the type and other printing incidentals, and the $700 for binding and the result is $2850; and that is not the end.

Football Schedule Unchanged
The American Red Cross appeals to you for assistance in mitigating the unprecedent suffering and distress caused by the present European war. Never before in history has there been such need for aid. It is imminent that a greater number of sick and injured people fearful magnitude of the work. Wounded by hundreds of thousands are scattered through cities, towns and villages. Many are without adequate surgical care and the necessary dressings surgery. Frequently operations have to be performed without anesthetics. The lack of guaze bandages causes the greatest produce infection, ending often in death from gangrene or tetanus.
WHAT WILL KANSAS DO?
The armies engaged are composed mainly of young men of your own age, and for this reason it seems particularly fitting that their sufferings should appeal to you. Funds are needed to maintain the large corps of surgeons and trained nurses the American Red Cross has sent to Europe, to purchase surgical equipments and hospital supplies and to aid the American hospitals established in several European cities.
YALE WILD FOUR UNIVERSITY OR COLLEGE DO TO HELP
Yale University has raised funds to provide two Ford motor ambu-
A 100-lb. bale of the best quality of absorbent cotton costs $19. A thousand bandages costs $35. A thousand yards of gaze, $21. A hundred pounds of chloroform, $40. These are suggestions as to the cost of greatly needed supplies.
Princeton University proposes to support during the war a Princeton nurse at $60 a month.
The students of women's colleges can make hospital gurments. Directions for these will be sent from the American Red Cross, Washington, D. C., if desired. Shippings should be made to the American Red Cross Terminal Company, 35th Street and Second Avenue, Brooklyn, N.Y.
All contributions of funds should be made out and sent to "The American Red;Gross, Washington, D. C," or to the local Red Cross Treasurer, W. A. Whitaker. The donors may designate, if they so desire, the country for which they wish their contributions used.

HERE'S A BUDGET OF TURKEY DAY EFFUSION
Thoughts of Thanksgiving Act Like
Salve on Wounds Left by Jungle
Beast
Some are mad and some are glad that Thanksgiving comes but once a year Most K. U. folks—however, queer it may seem following the football façade—are thankful for some reason or other. Listen:
Dean Arvin Olin: "I am thankful because I have the sure recipe for contentment: to have a work that is not only productive but also responsible compensation for doing it."
Miss Lulu Gardner: "That Miss
she missed the other three
points it might have"
**I will look for**
**these words:**
Miss Margaret Lynn: "That we are not at war vet."
Miss Esther Wilson: "but they don't have a rally every week." Registrar George O. Foster: "This is so sudden. I've so many things to be thankful for that I am happy all the time."
Dr. Alice Goetz: "That the girls have told me that we have a girl's学姐field."
Mrs. Eustace Brown: "I have no thing for which to be especially thankful for but I am thankful every day of my life."
Miss Sylvia Adams: "Oh, I'm thankful I am at K. U."
"Oh, I'm thankful the European war hasn't exterminated Turkey, and that pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce on the fence for Thursday." H. F. Harrington.
Prof. U. G. Mitchell: "I couldn't eat turkey one Thanksgiving years ago because I had a severe case of toothache and every since when I miss my teeth I am always thankful if my teeth are in good condition."
Prof. E. W. Murray finds cause for thanksgiving in the fact that there were not ten more men like Mr. Mainlain on that Nebraska team.
Prof. Merle Thorpe is thankful for Friday's holiday, as it will give him a chance to grade 26 Short Story notebooks.
Ross Busenbaker, prime instigator of women's rallies, said he was thankful that, although he chased up and down Massachusetts street Saturday with a roll of bets to bet on Kansas, he could find no takers.
Even Students Celebrate
Leon Harsh, editor of the Jayhawker, is thankful because of the chance to get down to Kansas City and forget his Annual worries.
Gilbert Clayton, who sits around the Kansan office most of the week, is thankful because he will get a chance for a few days "rest."
Guy Scriven, Sweet's room-mate, is thankful because Sweet has that much. He expects to borrow some of it.
Charles Sweet is thankful that he has eighty-one cents left.
Prof. H. P. Cady will return from his White Cross trip next Wednesday day. He formerly intended to return Monday morning but has extended his trip at the request of former Governor W. R. Stubbs.
"I am thankful that Clay county is a long way from Lawrence, Kansa, and that out there the wild ducks are flying and the jack rabbits bopping among the corn-stalks; I am thankful that my boots and rubber coat are still waiting for me behind the wood-shed door."—Bud Ritter.
Cady Prolongs Stay
INVITE PROFESSORS TO UNION
Supporters of Establishment Plan Open House for All Profs
Supporters of the Student Union are planning to have a faculty night at the Union about once a week as soon as the football season is over. One night in the week will be set aside at the Union when members of the university can visit the club and fraternize with the men of the University.
Arrangements for the night will not be completed this week, but a night will be selected next week and the plan will be tried out. Professors can drop in at the Union any time during the evening and stay as long as they wish. They can try their skill at billiards or whist and some of the students say that they are going to embrace this opportunity to show the profs that they can really beat them at some things.
COUNTY CLUBS PLANNING STUNTS FOR VACATION
Organizations Will Play Football and Basketball During Week end at Home
Several county clubs have planned entertainments such as football, basketball games, and house parties for the week-end at home. Many of them will seize this opportunity to boost the mill tax amendment among the voters of their home communities.
The inter-county club will be organized soon after the Thanksgiving recess and will begin work in the interest of the mill tax. Thirty-eight counties have organized clubs and elected officers. The presidents and secretary preside over the personnel of the central organization. The inter-county club will act as the guiding spirit of all the counties in their activities.
MOTT CAMPAIGN HAS OPENED
Opening guns of the Mott campaign were fired last night when seventy-five students, faculty men and ministers met in Myers Hall at 9 o'clock to start boosting for the season to be held on the HILL in February.
Meeting at Myer's Last Night Started Work of February's Religious Convention
Con Hoffman explained the program as outlined for the four days of the campaign. There will be meetings for the different Schools under the leadership of John R. Mott, Ted Mercer, and others of national reputation. Opportunities will be given students to consult these issues and important problems of life. The University calendar will be cleared, so there will be no conflicting interests during the meetings.

Inter-class football practice will start Monday following Thanksgiving vacation. All students are eligible to these games, except those on the regular Varsity or freshman teams.

ALL-VALLEY TEAM IS SELECTED BY KANSAN
Stars Lined Up by Sport
Writer Assisted by Kansas
City Correspondents
That All-Valley Team
Cameron, Nebraska, center
Clay, Missouri, right guard
James, Kansas, left guard
Halligan, Nebraska, right tackle
Corey Nebraska, left tackle
Howard, Nebraska, right end
Speelman, Missouri, left end
Potter, Nebraska, quarter
Chamberlain, Nebraska, right half
Rutherford Nebraska, left half
Delametre, Nebraska, fullback
When the football experts meet in Kansas City to pick the All-Missouri Valley football team, the gridiron fans will have a chance to see their favorites honored or dishonored as the case may be. Every newspaper of importance picks its "All"队 so the Daily Kansas makes its offer. The team's most valuable was assisted by several K. U. newspaper men and Varsity players.
The Kansan's team probably will differ in a few instances because neither Ames nor Washington have been seen in action and it is almost certain Ames will draw one or more men on the imaginative eleven.
Cameron, the big Cornhusker center, was chosen center because of his great defensive work. Keeling, of Kansas, was a close second but the Cornhusker's charging prowess gave him the position.
In Nebraska's champion squad are
the men worthy, reckonation:
Mission, Kane and Kimura.
James, of Kansas and Clay, the Missouri captain, will play guards on the imaginative team. James undoubtedly is the best guard in the Army. His experience gave him the preference over several likely candidates.
No one questions Vic Halligan's right to a tackle position and captaincy of the eleven. As a tackler, ground gainer and a goal kicker, Halligan has no equal in the West. The other tackle job goes to his running mate, Corey, the big Irish Nebraskan. Corey and Andy Groff, of Kansas, are about equal but Corey has made a reputation carrying the ball while Groft has not been used in that capacity.
Chamberlain's right to a halfback title is as undisputed as Halligan's tackle position. The Nebraska halfback is undoubtedly the best in the Valley. Rutherford was given the other half because of his speed and open running. Other halves not far behind Rutherford are Shepard, Missouri; Detwiler and Gray, Kansas; and Agnew, Kansas Argies.
The Valley is weak on ends this season. Speelman of Missouri needs no introduction to an aggressive end while Howard, the Nebraska punter, is better than any other wing man. Potter, Nebraska's quarterback, will call signals to the proposed players. Wood, of Kansas, should be the second team, his weight and inexperience keeping him off the first team.
Selecting a fullback was more difficult. Delametre, Nebraska, landed the job over Dunkel of Missouri because of the former's interference work. Dunkel is a better ground gainer but Delametre plays a harder game and is more valuable to his team.
ARKANSAS FOREST FIRES
BLOW SMOKE ON CAMPUS
Did you sniff the smoke which hung over the Hill and valley like a heavy fog for this morning? What did you think it was, a condensation of all "the indefinite haze of the Indian summer, that hangs so lazily over the distant hills" of several mountains, or did you suppose it came from the bonfires of rejoicing Missourians in their Ozark hills?
Well, it was neither. That smoke came clear from Arkansas. They are having forest fires down there, and a lot of valuable timber is being consumed. The steady south breeze of yesterday and last night has blown over the burning woods, and has wafted us the incense.
