With the first motion of his baton, William H. Santlemann, leader of the United States Marine, Band, opened the twelfth annual concert course under the auspices of the School of Fine Arts at the University trained to capacity and the audience showed its appreciation repeatedly by its prolonged applause.
The great musical organization, in brilliant red and blue uniforms, took the stage at 2:40 o'clock opening the program with Weber's Overture "Jubilee" and responding to the applause with Paderewski's "Minuet." Then follyd Von Blon's "Dance of the Fishermads" which exhibited the artistic ability of the musicians and their leader. George Otto Frey, with his color made a great and was called back repeatedly for encores of popular selections. "Southland, A Bouquet of Southern Air," one of Santlemann's own compositions, concluded the first half of the program.
Musicians Lost in Gym
The second half of the afternoon's entertainment began with a selection for "I Trovatore" and an idyl, "Musicians Astray in the Forest," in which musicians in other parts of the building gave the effect of distant music to the most effective number on the program. Two military grand marches and the Star Spargled Banner concluded the program.
Other Concerts in Kansas The great travelling band left Lawrence at 5:50 yesterday afternoon and will continue its course of concerts throughout the state for the next few weeks before returning to Washington for the opening of the season at the capital city.
Gadzki in Evening Concert
Mme Johanna Gadzki in a program of German and English songs and arins, gave the second concert of the series in Robinson Gymnasium last night before a crowd of two thousand.
The first division of the program was made up of the songs in German. Her Schumman selections brought out the encore a selection from the "Erking," which was probably the greatest hit of the evening "Wilkomen im Wald," by Franz was quite popular.
The Wagner Arias in the third group followed by the encore, "Valaycaye War Cry," were a fitting close for the great program of the even-
The songs in English were probably the most appreciated on the whole. "The Rose's Cup," "The Little Gray, The Blue Dove," "Calm the Night" are exceedingly effective while the "Slumber Song," by Gilmour, stands paramount about the evening's performances for effectiveness.
Madame Gadzki was assisted by Walter G. Charmbury at the piano and the young musician was given his share of the applause at the conclusion of his piano solos. His "Rigolotto Paraphase" was a "feature of the entire evening's entertainment.
THREE MEN WORK IN STATE
Baerg and Hilton Were in Montgomery and Cary County's All Summer
The department of entomology under the direction of P. W Claassen assistant state entomologist had two students from Montgomery county in the field this summer. Baerps covered the towns and surrounding country of Montgomery county using Coffeyville as a base. Hilton over Crawford county from Girard.
The first part of the summer was spent on general economic insects. The later part of the season both worked on San Jose scale.
Mr. Claassen says that some new cases of infestation of San Jose scale have been found and that they are going to spray and cut down a part of these trees. Experiments will be made to find new and more economic methods of eradicating the scale. The problem is to make the orchard keepers grow better fruit instead of an inferior quality.
The journalism classes are receiving the full telegraph service of the United Press Association, and students are becoming familiar at first with the written word by world news-gathering agencies in handling the world's news.
COMMITTEE TO START
STUDENT BIBLE CLASSES
Student Bible classes are being organized in the city churches and in fraternity and rooming houses by student pastorsts and the Y. M. and Y. S. secretaries. Weekly reports on Mitten will be received by the association.
Foodsick's "Manhood and the Master," and "Student Standards of Action" are the textbooks to be used.

High school students can secure admission to the other sections of the north bleachers for fifty cents. The west bleachers will be thrown open to the ward school children. Autos will be admitted to the field but each passenger will be charged one dollar.
Sections CC, DD, EE, K and FF in the north bleachers have been set aside for the Thunderstorm Thousand. The team has been saved for the wooomers rooters.
OUGHT TO PAY K. U. A VISIT
It Would do Eastern College Aristocrate Good, Says Julian Street.
"For me the visit to the University of Kansas was an education," writes Julian Street, traveler and author, in the current number of Collier's. Mr. Street visited Lawrence and the University last spring. "I wish that all Americans might visit such a university," he says. "But more than that I wish that some system might be devised for the exchange of students between great colleges in different parts of the country. Doubless it would be a good thing for certain students at Western colleges to learn some of their life and the greater sophistication of the great colleges of the East but more particularly I think that vast benefits must accrue to certain young men from Harvard, Yale, and similar institutions, by contact with such universities as that of Kansas.
"Unfortunately, however, the Eastern students, who would be most benefited by such a shift, would be the very ones to oppose it. Above all others, I think they would like to work with astronauts, spenders, and disciples of false culture shipped out to the West. It would do them good and I think they would be amazed to find out how much they liked it. However, this idea of an exchange is not based so much on the theory that it would help the individual student as an oral presentation. Comprehension is needed by Americans. We do not know our country or our fellow country-men as we should.
The Kansas Aggie military band in uniform will march up the streets of Lawrence preceding the annual game with the Jayhawkers here tomorrow providing that the Manhattan people buy enough tags at tents each to cover the cost of the trip. A determined effort is being made at the Aggie campus today to raise the necessary amount.
MANHATTAN PEOPLE HELP
SEND AGGIE BAND HERI
This band has achieved an enviable state wide reputation and the Manhattan people think that it is the best college team in the nation and add to the occasion when the gray uniformed wind jammers too out Old Alma Matar.
Eighty-one different institutions of higher learning are represented in the faculty of the University of Washington, as is shown by a tabulation made for President G. Davidson to denominate colleges lead the list, 20 of each appearing. Fourteen colleges other than denomination, nine foreign universities, eight professional and technical colleges, two state or foreign and one agricultural college furnish their quota of the 194 teachers.
TEACHERS GATHERED FROM
FOUR CORNERS OF EARTH
NOISY FARMLKS STICK BY LOSING AGGIE WARRIORS
Lowman's Aggregation Looks Weak but All Manhattan Moves to Lawrence Tomorrow
As a scoring machine Coach Lowman's Aggies have one of the lowest records of the season. The Farmers have played three games an scored but fifteen points, all of which were made in the Southwestern game Comparing the Farmers and the Jayhawks it seems that the latter have developed a scoring ability although the coaches have taught their men to play defensive football, both records of the two teams this season.
Aggies 15—Southwestern
Birmingham
Aggies 0 - Normal
Aggies 0 - Nebraska
Total 15 - Opponents
Kansas 48 - William Jewell
Kansas 7 - Emporia
Kansas 7 - Drake
North Carolina 87 -
Figuratively speaking, Kansas has done much better than the Aggies, but the Aggies have played Nebraska and has not met a champion contender.
Lawrence will be invested with Aggie roots Saturday when the special train of Farmers rolls into the station. The Aggies are making big preparations for the Kansas team to tackle the team with a strong rooftop sound.
The Farmers are noisy roosters and have a yell list as long as a pitfork. Among their favorites is the aggie war cry which runs like this:
Hit 'em high,
Hit 'em low.
Go, Aggies, go!

KANSAS GIRLS LEAD IN VIGOR AND SPIRIT

Than Eastern Women
This added spirit on the part of the Western girl is due largely to the climatic conditions of the West and the weather that she leads believes Dr. Goetz.
Dr. Arthur Braden, of the University Bible Chair will speak at the Y. M. C. A. meeting in Myers Hall at 4:30 Sunday afternoon on the subject, "The University Man's First Law."
"The girls at the University of Kansas are much more healthy than the girls of other schools with whom I have come in contact," says Dr. Goetz. "I rarely have to grant excusez from gymnasium classes on account of ill health; the girls like the work and are enthusiastic about it." In the East this is not always the case. The music noticeable difference is in the greater lung capacity of the Western girl, but she is also far ahead of the Eastern girl in her greater vitality and powers of endurance.
Kansas girls are more energetic; have more vim and spirit than Eastern girls, according to Dr. Alice L Goetz, of the department of physical education of the University of Kansas.
The Y. M, C. A. quartet will make its first appearance of the year Sunday. The personnel of the club is First tenor, A. M. Herron; second tenor, E. W. Foster; baritone Benjamin Baltzer; basso, K.W. Kaiser.
A paper describing the visit of Prof. Robert Shull to the home of Mendel at Bruem, Austria, was read before the Botany Club meeting Wednesday night. Professor Shull found a monk in charge who witnessed him with a valuable alarm clock which was used by Mendel.

"K. U. AMAZINGLY ADVANCED"
Julian Street, of Collier's, Finds
Plenty of "Gumption" at K U.
If the University of Kansas may, as I have been credibly informed, be considered a 'typical Western State university, then I must confess that my preconceptions regarding such hi-tech research are preconceptions, in general, are likely to be" writes Julian Street in the current issue of Collier's Weekly under the head, "Kansas—Where All Signs Falls." Mr. Street visited Kansan last spring working up one of a series of articles, "Abroad at Home."
"The University of Kansas is anything but backward. It is upon the contrary, amazingly complete and amazingly advanced. Not only has it an excellent equipment and a live faculty, but also a remarkably energetic, well-rounded program that more homogeneous and much more unanimous in its hunger for education than student bodies in Eastern universities, as I have observed them
"Brief as was my visit to the University of Kansas, I felt that there, indeed, was 'gumption.' And it is easy to account for. The breed of men and women we are being taught at the States are sturder breed than is being produced in the East. They have just as much fun in their college life as any other students, but practically none of them go to college just 'to have a good time,' or with the even less creditable purpose of improving their social position. Kansas is still too near to first principles to be concerned with superficialities. It goes to college to work and learn, and its reason for wishing to learn areas does not feel, in the University of Kansas, the aspiration for a vague culture for the sake of culture only.
"Directness, sincerity, strength, thoughtfulness, and practicality are Kansas qualities. Even the very young men and women of Kansas are not far removed from pioneer forefathers, and it must be remembered that the Kansas pioneer differed from some others in that he possessed a strain of Piritan love of freedom which not only brought his forefather to Plymouth, but brought him overland to Kansas, as has been said, to cast his vote for abolition. Naturally, then, the zeal which fired him and his ancestors is reflected in his children, and his grandchildren."
"ORCHESTRA NEEDS MORE
MUSICIANS"—MeCANLES
The orchestra needs some more good musicians, according to a statement made this morning by Director J. C. McCanles who has charge of the University band and orchestra Mr. McCanles wants musicians who can play violin, viola, cello, and bass Anyone who wants work in the University orchestra should see the director at once.
The next rehearsal of the orchestra will be held Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock in Fraser Hall.
DEBATING COUNCIL WILL ELECT OFFICERS FOR YEAR
A president, secretary and business manager will be elected tomorrow afternoon at a meeting of the University of Kansas Debating Council. The meeting will be held at 4:30 o'clock in the lecture room of Green Hall. Delegates from four debating societies and four delegates from the faculty will be present at the meeting.
After officers are elected, questions submitted by Oklahoma for debates, will be discussed. It is probable that the proposition will be framed for the contest between Kansas and Oklahoma teams.
Crawford County to Organize

OKLAHOMANS ORGANIZE CLUB
Students from Border State Will Work for K, U.
The following officers were elect ed: President, Kenneth H. Lott, of Pawnee; vice-president, Wayne Maneley, of Tulsa; secretary, Helen Jenkins, of Guthrie; treasurer Richard B. Oiley, of Oklahoma City and sergeant at arms, Sam Pickard of Vanita.
Fifty-six students whose homes are in Oklahoma or who have lived in the state, met in Myers Hall Wednesday night and organized the first Oklahoma Club in the University of Kansas.
The purpose of the club will be to secure as many as possible of the students who every year leave the state of Oklahoma for outside work. We make effort to take students from the University of Oklahoma.
The organization will undertake to keep a report in the Oklahoma papers of the general happenings; around the University which would be of interest to prospective students.
Similar organizations have been active in the University of Missouri and Wisconsin for a number of years. Have done effective work for the schools.
President Lott will appoint a committee within a few days which will arrange for series of social gatherings during the year.
"I am cordially in favor of the formation of an Oklahoma Club. Our Oklahoma students have done well and we have a large number of influential alumni in that state. We want those of our student body from Oklahoma to feel at home and thoroughly welcome and any movement such as the one under contemplation that will more thoroughly organize our student body will be an excellent thing. I hope the movement may lead to others like it." (Signed) Frank Strong.

"Of course we are going to win tomorrow, that much is certain. This rally will have more to do with a great victory than most persons think. That is what we want. Council will say about it, but I believe an occasional outburst of this kind is desirable."
So declared Prof. H. W Humble of the School of Law this morning before 1500 K. U. men and women crowded around the steps of the Law Building in the first real pop meeting of the year. Jo Berwick, cheerleader, kept the enthusiasts well informed by the two hours from 10 to 12 o'clock.

Dr. W. L. Burdick was the first to address the students this morning. He said: "My fellow citizens, I don't know what political party this is, but if you will give me the I will it. The election takes place Saturday and it goes without saying that we are going to win."
"I am sorry to disappoint you, but I speak at the rally tonight, and I cannot repeat. Come up to Fraser and I will do my best at that time. I am much pleased to see the pep in your face. Please hope it will not ooze out before November. Let's get together tonight and have a fine rally."
After the speeches tonight in Fraser, Jo Berwick will lead the Thun- housed house on the civil esthistias. The new yell suggested this morning by Professor Humble is:
Hey Woo! Hey Woo!

Missouri Maids Wear Derbies
Women students at the University of Missouri are not allowing feminism to affect their personal adornment. Stylish velvet turbans with their crowning glory, a spraying bird-of-paradise plume, have gradually been replaced with tassels. English knockabout hats. Columbia hardasherds have sold so many men's hats to women they feel confident the style has come to stay.
