STUDENTS MUST PUSH TOWARD IDEAL GOAL
Speaker Says Selfish Academic Life Cannot Be Changed in a Day
Taking Herbert Spencer's chapter in his autobiography, "His Grevious Mistake" for a subject, Dr. Noble Strong Elderkin, of the Plymouth Congregations of the University at morning prayers at 8 o'clock today.
"Spencer was indignant at the religious atmosphere in England," said Doctor Elderkin, "and every time he thought of existing conditions, he flared up and boiled over, and every word he spoke was regularly routine of his life was disturbed. Spencer had some kind of a philosophy of religion that he intended to give the world, but his frequent farings and boilings set him back in his work too much. He had spent the last three months with the right materials. His main trouble lay in the fact that he failed to put into practice what he taught
"I wonder," continued Doctor Elderkin, "if, in the academic atmosphere of the University, we are not able to teach or expect if a man can live a selfish, secluded, protected life for four years and then on some certain day in June go out into the world and change absolutely; I wonder can he live a low, vulgar life at the University for four years, become saturated with mean, selfish thoughts and then change in attitude. He is to work with a goal in view. Not so much that we make a mark, but that we give a push."
Contrary to the belief that the 8 o'clock arrangement would not work, the main floor of Chapel Hall was filled this morning. The service was completed last year, with the exception of the appearance of a double quartet.
Louise and Marie Hedrick, sophomore and senior, in the College spent Saturday and Sunday at their home in Kansas City.

STUNTS FEATURE OF UNIVERSITY SOCIAL
Student Capering Prominent on First Y. W.-Y. M. Affair of Year
The first all-University Y. M-Y. W. social of the year staged in Myers Hall Friday night was a success from the time the little blue name cards were pinned on the students to the time they were handed back as wearers marched out to go home. Three hundred young men and women laughed at stunts, roared at the Thumb dance and chatted over refreshments for the three hours of the evening.
The social was the first of a number of monthly affairs to be given for all the students of the University by the two Christian Associations. The next will be held Friday, December 11.
The distinguishing features of the social other than the spirit of friendliness that seemed rampant was the stunts given by the naughty student, given accorded according to the mouth they were born in, and each group gave a stunt.
The last stunt before the refreshments were dished out was that of a K. U. class recitation, on which each student had spent hours on the lesson but could not get it. The professor was very sorry and would shorten the lessons. When the event was ended the students present gave three cheers for the faculty man that seemed to be best portrayed.
The refreshments, ice cream, cake and coffee, braced the students for the race.

WOMEN WELL FITTED
TO STUDY CHEMISTRY
They are More Painstaking Than Men, Believes K. U. Food
Analyst
Women are peculiarly adapted for work in chemistry, according to Miss Agnes Anderson, food analyst of the University of Kansas, chemistry of the University of Kansas.
"Chemistry is a practical study," says Miss Anderson, "and no girl's college work is complete without at least one course in it. There is no reason why a woman should not be able to do most of the work a man does with her hands. It is generally ceded that a woman is more pains taking than a man, and chemistry is without doubt a course that requires careful work.
"Research is a good field for work. The government bureau of chemistry employs many women in its laboratories and I think in the future there will be a decided increase in the number of women majoring in chemistry."
Within the past few years two women have distinguished themselves as chemists. Mme. Curie of France discovered radium and Mrs. Ellen H. Richards of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was the first woman to work with household chemistry.
Chemistry is pre-requisite in many of the domestic science courses and as these become more popular, women will enroll in the subject.
"WOODYY" A GOOD BET FOR
AN ALL M. V. QUARTER
Walter W. Wood (Woody), K. U.'s diminutive quarterback is being boosted for position on the All-Valley team. As yet he has failed to meet his equal in ability to hold down the position of the "brains" of the squad. He had his first trial on defensive Saturday when Oklahoma's fast cornerback posed an unfair times. On easy occasion Wood made a clean tackle unassisted, spoiling a touchdown and saving Kansas from defeat.
Although he is the lightest man on any team in the Valley, and this is his first year, his work at quarterback was excellent. He picks the "All Valley" eleven.

ADVANCE KANSAS CHARITY BY STATE-WIDE CAMPAIGN
Humanitarian Conference Would Form Organized Associations in Cities of More Than 10,000
To make a state-wide campaign to promote charity and humanitarian work in Kansas towns and cities, is the plan under consideration by the Kansas Conference of Charities and Correction. This Conference meets in joint session November 19-21 at the University in Lawrence with the Kansas Society of Criminal Law and Criminologists.
UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO HAS LARGEST ARMORY
Four fully organized Associated Charities have been formed in the state. Kansas City, Kansas, Topeka, Wichita, and Hutchinson. According to the president of the Conference, Supt. M. E. Pearson, there are ten other Kansas towns with a population of more than 10,000 where such organizations should be effected.
It is claimed that this will be the largest college armory in the country, but the Illinois Armory, which is nearing completion, is 419 feet by 570 feet of space. It considerably larger than the structure Cornell expects to build.
Bids have been awarded at Cornell University for the construction of a gigantic new Armory, which is to be 421 feet long, 228 feet wide and four stories high. It will be built of gray stone.

Amusements
Genuine feeling, a fresh and novel viewpoint and flashes of agreeable humor make "The Little Shepherd of Bargain Row," in which Sarah Padden is to appear at the Bowersock next Monday, November 9, one of the most human and delightful of plays. The place is brand new, and is so timely a theme and so admirably constructed that it is sure to score a success for its author, Howard Meadows. Her Nora is so admirably fitted to the star, Sarah Padden, that it must be conceded the best vehicle she has yet had for exploiting her very real talents. Miss Padden is one of the most womanly of actresses and invests any character she impersonates with her alluring femininity. Her Nora is a wonderful creature, shrewd and far seeing and sharp of tongue, at the same time that she is loving and tender and warm of character. Her Nora is a well worth seeing that nobody can afford to miss it. She is supported by a fine company and the play is worthy of the best patronage that can be accorded it. The United Play Co. (Inc.) promises a splendid cast and complete production. Seats now selling at Round Corner Drug Co.-Adv.
