COLLIER'S CAMPUS SCENE
TO APPEAR IN JAYHAWKER
The campus scene as depicted in Collier's of October 24 will reappear in the 1915 Jayhawker. An electrotype from Collier's foundry was received by the Jayhawker Board yesterday.
It is seldom that a University receives the volunteer publicity such as that given K. U. in Julian Street's article. The incident was not noticeworthy that Leon Harsh, editor of *The Washington Post*, asked for a zineetching of the sketch which accompanied the article and for permission to run it.
The art editor of Collier's answered the letter immediately. Permission was given the Jayne Board Chair to write a special typeface was made for the purpose.

CHALLIS LEADS DESTINIES OF NEW DRAMATIC SOCIETY
Direction of Club Plays Goes to Department of Public Health
Adoption of a constitution and election of officers was the business transacted by the twenty-five who attended the organization meeting of "The Dramatic Club of the University of Kansas," last night.
John V. Challis is the new president of the club; Ida Perry, vice-president; Mary Stanway, secretary; and Donald Burnett, treasurer and business manager. Essentially, the constitution provided for a complete reorganization of the club and its maintenance on sound principles.
The direction of all plays will be in the hands of the department of public speaking thus doing away with the old system of paid coaches. A study of dramas will be conducted at the regular meetings of the club.
At least one good play will be presented yearly, and the proceeds given over to building something permanent along dramatic lines for the good of the University. Membership will be offered only to students quite limited but it will be broad enough to include the best dramatic talent on the Hill.
PROF. JOHNSON FINDS HIGH SCHOOLS IMPROVED
Increased Enrollment, Better Equipment, More Accredited Schools, Reports University Visitor
Desire for higher education has led many rural students to enroll in the state high schools this year. A noticeable increase in the enrollment of each high school is shown. The number of students dents from rural communities. Prof. W. H. Johnson, who has just returned from a short inspection trip, says that the condition of the high schools inspected is favorable. The work of the schools this year is much better equipped, and he finds, 'them better equipped.'
Interest and spirit of the students is better than in former years. This is also true of the interest taken by the patrons of the schools.
The work of inspection has not been finished, but Professor Johnson thinks sufficient representatives are in the fields to finish the work by the end of this semester. In the list this year of accredited schools will be several new ones. These schools are likely to be the standard required by the University. A full list of these will be published later.
Professor Johnson has more assistance this year in the inspection and has several colleges helping in the work. The colleges interested are, College of Emporia, McPherson College, Midland College, Southwestern College, and Friends University. These colleges have been assigned certain high schools to inspect and their representative will do the work.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS TUESDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEM BER 3.1914.
First Year Women Will Pull Taffy a Indoor Blow-out
A jay-hop for freshmen is the peculiar privilege offered to the women of the class of 1918 next Saturday afternoon at the Robinson Gymnasium. Taffy pulling is an unconventional, but promising feature to be added to the program. From 3:30 o'clock until chapening and pulling are no longer possible the freshmen will be allowed to pull when they will be willing to stop is a question—dissipation may continue until morning. A victoria for dancing and ivory-handled pans for candy-making is to be provided for the function.
HFRF'S A FRFSHIF IAY-HOP NO SPECIAL FOR WASHBURN
Every woman in the University who will complete her course in 1918 is invited to attend this initial indoor blow-out. An invitation committee of twenty-seven will see that personal invitations are received by all those who are eligible to attend. More stunts are planned for the future.
Delayed trains kept Coach Wheaton from meeting the Jayhawker squad at practice yesterday afternoon and a handful of players worked on Hamilton Field under Coach Bond's directions.    Wheaton ordered a light practice yesterday and will be easy on the men tomorrow, but Wednesday and Thursday will tighten up again.
FOOTBALL PRACTICE WILL
TIGHTEN UP LAST OF WEEK
"The men were stale in the Oklahoma game," Coach Wheaton said. "We want them to take it easy until they come." Then we will get ready for Washburn."
White Cross petitions are flying over the campus today. One chemistry class contributed $34 for November. The White Cross deals exclusively with the relief of starving women and children; the Red Cross primarily with wounded on battlefield. Both need support. Here is a copy of the White Cross petition:
Seven million Belgians, mostly women and children, are starving. The daily ration is three ounces of flour, about two-thirds of a cup, and nothing else. The absolute minimum of food necessary to sustain life, the American-Belgium Relief Committee says, is ten ounces per day, which is only one-half the army ration.
UNIVERSITY STARTS FUND FOR STARVING BELGIANS
Holland is doing its share, and more; France has opened its doors; England is taking care of thousands upon thousands and, in addition, the Government is giving $750,000 per month; Red Cross is giving $50,000; The Rockefeller Foundation is giving freely of its millions; BUT THE MAGNITUDE OF THE TASK IS SO GREAT THAT EVERYBODY'S HELP IS DESPERATELY NEEDED.
To supply this requires a minimum of from four to six million dollars per month.
America has led the world in charity for less worthy causes. Compassion knows no nationality. Seventy-five (75c) will feed a child a month; five cents (5c), for two days. No contribution is too small, and none too large. Dry these tears! Comfort these children!
We, the undersigned, agree to pay per month, from November to May,
the sums set opposite our names toward the White Cross Fund, for the relief of the suffering non-combatants of Belgium.

JAYHAWK FIVE STANDS CHANGE AT DES MOINES
Team Not Well Balanced But Rodkey and Edwards Will Finish
On the basis of their showing in the cross country tryout before the Oklahoma game, six men will be sent to the annual cross country championship of the Missouri Valley Conference. The following men will make the trip: Captain Edwards, Rodkey, Grady, Howland and either Young or Poos. The team will leave here Friday morning, arriving at Des Moines that evening, where the meet, quartered until time the meet, where they will correspond to the Ames campus, about 15 miles from the city.
The Santa Fe will have three extra cars for the football team and band at 9:20 o'clock Saturday morning; the 10:40 o'clock train will carry ex-armies and arrangements may be made to accommodate part of the crowd on the Union Pacing.
Topeka football rooters are gobbling up seats for the Kansas-Washburn game at Topeka Saturday. The sale in Topeka has caused Coach Gray to cut down Manager Hamilton's order for five hundred tickets. Only four hundred tickets will be sent to Lawrence. The pasteboardes were expected this morning but did not arrive
"The service on the Santa Fe is convenient for the Topeka game and it will not be necessary to charter a boat" manager Hamilton said this afternoon.
Little is known of the strength of the other teams. Ames has a well balanced team and will have the added advantage of being familiar with the defense, very well balanced team but if Rodkey and Captain Edwards come through with what is expected of them, the team may win. It will take a good runner to beat Rodkey to the goal line and count on to finish in the first row.
Train Service Convenient, and Extra Coach Will be Added for Crowds.
The course at Ames is five miles in length and over a level road. The present Conference five mile record is weather conditions are favorable.

"The Student Union needs money; nearly all the funds coming into the treasury is from the income on the pool tables," said Dad Gregory this morning in discussing the financial situation of the Union.
“University men have responded reasonably to the call to sign pledges, but only a few of these pledges have been paid. The Union has been able to exist this year only because of the credit established last year.”
STUDENT UNION NEEDS CASH
Pledges Are Not Paid and House Runs on Credit
the membership of the Union is slightly over 500. The sophomore class has done the best work so far in obtaining members, according to Alexander Creighton, one of the Student Council members. The junior class follows a close second. A large number of students at the Union their headquarters while they were here for the Oklahoma game Saturday.
The Student Union committee of the Men's Student Council will give a reception to the successful legislative candidates soon after election The purpose of this is to bring the question of a permanent Union before the next meeting of the legislature.
"I am decidedly pleased with the progress of the Union this year and I think that within a short time it will be possible, with the aid of the state legislature to erect a permanent Union building on the campus," said Randolph Kennedy, first president of the Union.
Dorothea Hackbush led the open discussion meeting of the Y. W. C. A. at 4:30 yesterday afternoon. The spending of time and money was talked about, many of the women giving personal experiences and suggestions. That a budget be made by everyone is used industriously and mostly busily, was the main theme. Mary Linn sang.

The Kick That Won the K.U.-Ichabod Game
VALLEY CHAMPIONSHIP LIES WITH U.N. AND K.U.
Game on Lincoln Field Will Decide Placing Victors' Pennant for Year
Saturday's football results made little change in the standing of the Missouri Valley football teams; with the exception of the elimination of Ames by the Cornhuskers. Kansas and Nebraska are the only teams left with the Nebraskans lead with three conference wins while the Jayhawkers have two.
Ames' elimination leaves the championship to be decided by the Kansas-Nebraska game at Lincoln, November 14. Nebraska looks stronger than its former self, anything, Coach Wheaton will have a big job whipping the Steilm roller.
Missouri rallied Saturday and beat the Kansas Aggies by a small score. Kansas overhelmed the Farmers to win 41-39. They give a line on the Jawhawk and Tiger.
Ames lost to Nebraska 29 to 7 after a hard battle, Washington and Drake, already out of the running, had a consolation scrap at St. Louis in February. Nebraska fended a stinging defeat in the hands of Bill Hargiss' Kansas Normals.

Crawford at Work
The Crawford county club, with Sam Degen as president, is planning an active campaign for the mill tax. During the Thanksgiving vacation the club will get out literature concerning the proposed amendment and will work with the legislators from their district. This agitation will be combined with a petition between Thanksgiving and Christmas to wind up during the holidays with a big banquet at which all the toasts will boost the amendment.
Other counties are also actively pushing the proposed tax, and definite results may be looked forward to in the near future.
M. U.-K. U. TICKETS ARE HERE
But What Has Become of Thundering Thousand, Asks Mgr. Hamilton
More than 13,000 tickets for the Kansas-Missouri game arrived at Manager W. O. Hamilton's office this morning from the printers. They will be placed on sale tomorrow, when all those who have filed mail applications will receive their tickets to the game. The tickets iton will hold the seats put aside for the students until Thursday night before placing them back on sale.
The failure of the members of the Thundering T thousand to make any effort to get their seats is the thing that is worrying Mr. Hamilton just now. Plenty of seats to accommodate them on the fifty yard line, but after today one asking for seats in the Kansas sections will be given these choice seats. The result will be that the members of the Thundering Thousand may be scattered from the good rooting. The advance sale of seats before the day of the game is expected to reach $18,000.

Chemistry Students Respond to White Cross Appeal for Aid
Chancellor Frank Strong appointed a committee of seven this morning to raise funds for the National White Cross, an organization which has as its object the care of destitute victims are: H. F. Cairns and C. G. Cawford, G. O. Foster, E. K. Esker, E. F. Engel and C. Shaad
Subscription papers, a copy of which appears elsewhere in the Daily Kansan, are being circulated. Any member of the committee, or the Daily Kansan, will take subscriptions.
Students in Professor Cady's second year chemistry class contributed to the morning, and forty pledged the semester to contribute a certain amount monthly.
In class this morning Professor Cady gave some facts of the conditions of the Belgian people. The women and children there have only three ounces of flour a day. This would equal about two ordinary slices of bread. Seventy-five cents will feed one child for a month. An adult being made by the White Cross society is made of food a day. This would consist of cereals with beans or peas, bacon and lard.
The Rockefeller Institute has just forwarded a ship for the relief of the Belgians, but this ship has on board only four thousand tons of food. The ship will be carried in an attached will make only four meals for the number that must be fed.
Professor Cady thinks every person should contribute something toward the cause. Even a very small amount will be of great benefit. In asking for contributions either of two ways are suggested. The student may give a lump sum or can pledge an amount to be paid each mouth.
A partial list of contributors follows:
R. V. Cook, R. E. Cheney, M. M. Booth, M. H. Beveridge, S. J. Lewel, F. H. Harland, and Anderson, F. J. McBween, D. M. Merlind, Harry Percival, Wayne Maloney
