YEARLING MAIDENS TO "ROUGH IT" SATURDAY
Will Meet at South Park and Hike Away to Wienie Roast
Thirty enthusiastic first-year girls with Elizabeth Plank as chairman met in Fraser yesterday afternoon and completed plans for a bike Saturday, the first of a series of stunts they are going to carry out during the winter.
They desired to leave election of officers' and appointment of regular committees for their next meeting, so they will be sometime soon after the hike Saturday, for they feel that as yet they are not well enough acquainted to know whom they want as officers.
Most of the hour was spent in discussing the hike. Saturday morning they will meet in South Park by the band stand at 9:00 sharp. From there they will hike to a big woods south and east of the cemetery about a mile and one-half from town where "wiesen" will be located and where all the trees of difficulty they have acceded in the last two months will be lost. The rest of the menu will be buns, pickles and apples, each girl taking her own supply.
A special publicity committee was appointed to see that all freshmen girls be told of the hike. The girls placed on this commute both in college and in the woodie, Naomi Mcbride and Alice Davis, who is secretary of the freshman class.
Besides the hike the girls discussed less particularly the taffy-pulls, fudge parties and other fun gatherings they will have later. Mrs Brown has promised to try to get domestic science rooms for her their parties. You can require a larger room than her little one in addition and also she has given them the use of her rooms any time after her office hours which end at 4:30.
The most novel idea introduced was that of Lorina Gwin. She suggested that freshmen girls should wear something to distinguish themselves from upper class girls just as boys do. The idea was eagely by the girl and everything tums and sweaters to rings and pins were discussed as possibilities. No action was taken on this but every girl was urged to have a new idea on it at the next business meeting.

FROSH DO NOT HAVE TO
TIP THOSE LITTLE LIDS
And Anyone Trying to Make Them Do So Will be Suspended
—Council
Freshmen will never again be forced to tip their caps to upper classmen. The Student Council last night passed a ruling to the effect that any attempt to force a freshman to tip his cap on the part of any upperclassman would be considered a case of hazing, and the offense would be punishable by a three day suspension from the University.
An effort will be made by the Council to complete-the organization of county clubs by the end of the week and to begin active work on the campaign for the county in the Sachome, Arkansas, Council that a delegate from that body had been appointed to cooperate with the Council in its campaign.
All presidents of the classes have completed their lists of appointments to memberships on the committees which will aid in the efforts to secure a thousand more memorial Union. A aid of these commissions the Council expects to be able to accomplish the work which they have undertaken, within a short time.
Entomologists Meet
The Entomology Club met at 233 o'clock in the Museum. The current entomological literature was reviewed by different members of the club.
OLD FOOTBALL WAS FOOTBALL
"Old Grad" Doesn't Like Efeminate
Style of Present Game
Some think the football of the present is rather vigorous but it seems to be tame compared with the game of former years. The "Old Grad" in an article in last Sunday's Kansas City Star emphasizes the fact that K. U. students of a decade avoled "real football."
425 "Did we play football?" he asked "Doubtless you are too young to remember it, but ten years ago we played football at K. U. in a way which makes your present mishap hybrid basket-ball variety of look like basketball. Did We play football? Just get out a few old annuals and look up the scores. We played real football at K. U. in those days."
SOCIAL SURVEY RESULTS TO BE EXHIBITED HER
An exhibition, to show the work of the social survey of Lawrence, conducted by the department of sociology under the direction of Prof. E.W. Burgess, will be held on the second floor of the Administration Building this week. Next week the exhibition will be moved to the basement of the Fairfax Hotel for the benefit of the town people.
The exhibition will be open to the public from Monday to Friday of each week. In the evening special reports of the work of the survey will be given. Frank Koehler, assistant dept. of city schools, plans to take all the children above the third grade attend so that they may know the needs of their city.

A Cry for Help
I beg you in happy, safe America to deny yourself a cigar, a theater seat and an extra hat and help us to help them. Ten cents will buy a child ten dollars. Fifty centswill cover little feet which never will be caressed by a mother A dollar will买 a shawl for a window. Give, give, I bag of your generous hearts. America has a world in charity for less worthy causes. Compassion has nationality. Pity blesses the giver and the poor. Compassion when you tuck your children safely into bed, remember these little beings reared in no less luxurious, who are adrift in a world which has used till it. The aged too, like older children, having lived, have died before death, yet they, to are cast out from homes, knowing nothing of where dear ones are, their sons at the front fighting the enemy which has destroyed them, for honor's sake.
When he was destroyed them, to the house. All Europe is one great slaughterhouse. Paris no longer can send us money from France, and could you see this tragic procession from beneath St. Male's Elevens Century gates, all one's wealth is not enough to heal their broken hearts and bodies.

15 CONSIDERS GATEWAY FOR MEMORIAL OF YEAR
Seniors May Erect Stone Arch at 13th and Oread Entrance to Campus
The advisability of erecting a stone gateway at the Oread avenue on Thirteenth street entrance to the campus is being discussed by the members of the Memorial committee of the senior class. The committee thinks that sufficient evidence for a project should be raised, though present indications a strenuous campaign would be necessary to secure that amount.
Regarding the plan for collecting money, Lewis Northrup, chairman of the Memorial committee said: "The sum of $104 was collected last year and we expect to get more this year. The assessment last year was seventy-five cents on each member of the class but only about one third of the people in the class paid up. This year a smaller assessment will be levied in the hope that more persons will pay it."
Lewis thinks that this plan will meet with the approval of the class and is confident of its ultimate success. He does not contemplate starting work till after a holiday or the beginning of the semester. At this time a determined effort will be made to raise the money.
the money;
a plan similar to the one that is being carried out successfully at the University of Virginia is also under consideration. There a wall is being constructed by the out-going senior classes. Each class builds a section of the wall.
THE COLLEGE DOG IS INTELLIGENT ANIMAL
He Does Many Tricks and Errands
Prince, the big black bird dog seen so frequently on the campus, has almost a human brain. He belongs to C. F. Hase, night watchman, and has helped him with the work that until then than eight years of age regularly at coffee cafe, brings his master's meals at regular hours and can almost carry on a conversation.
The other evening a girl student in the College lost her pocketbook or the campus and Black Prince was told about it and sent out to hunt. Gone until after dark, but when he returned to the office he had the purse.
"It was just a streak of luck that I ever came in possession of Black Prince," said Mr. Hase yesterday in an interview. "Eight years ago he belonged to a colored man in Lawrence and was runaway. I would have seen him to see him answered cruelly, so finally persuaded the colored man to let me have him.
"It was easy to teach him tricks," continued Mr. Hase. "Beore I had him long I had him so he would carry a basket, bring back things on land or water, shut and open the door, sit up, single foot, rool over, bark for smoothering fires, lead a horse and speak when asked to.
"One stormy night Prince came in to the office with a new glove and surrendered it to me. I scolded him a little and told him to go out and hunt the other. He darted out the door and returned in about ten minutes with the mate. He does little errands like this every day."
erlanda like Prince no common, every-day dame and for this reason he does not eat from backyards. Every day at 2 o'clock he goes to the Sanitary Cafe to get his own dinner. The proprietor wraps up his meal in a package and Prince takes it and returns come to enjoy the feast.
Prince's path is around the Physics Building down the road to the University shops. If you should ever meet him stop and shake his hand.

RED CROSS COMMITTEE HOLDS FIRST MEETING
Lays Out Preliminary Plans Money From Students And Faculty Comes In
The committee appointed by the Chancellor to attend to the collections of funds for the Lawrence Red Cross held its first meeting yesterday afternoon and discussed ways and means of the campaign.
It was decided that a representative should confer with the mayor of Lawrence, W. J. Francisco, and endeavor to coordinate University and city activities. Mr. Francisco will probably appoint a committee of prominent Lawrence citizens to attend to city solicitation.
Letters were prepared to present before the sophomore and College-Pharmic freshmen mixes. A representative is conferring with the ministerial alliance of Lawrence this afternoon in an attempt to secure their support.
The Athletic Association will be asked to set aside a percentage of gate receipts at one of the big football games. Steps were taken to place the campaign before the various organizations of the University. Funds from students and members of the faculty began to come in today. Probably fifty dollars has been either contributed or placed. Personal so-called benefits will be avoided as possible, and in view of this fact the committee urges all those who can give anything to do so at once.
Payment or promise may be made to any of the following: W. A. Whitaker, Red Cross, Daily Kansan, H. A. McGinnis, R. F. Hamilton, R. F. Hamilton, jeorge O. Foster.
A list of contributors will be printed tomorrow.
WILL KEEP NUMERAL PLAN
Jayhawkler Will Hereafter be Labeled. According to Hamilton
Never again will a K. U. football eleven be seen in action without numbered suits, if Manager W. O. Hamilton has anything to say about it. After watching the good effects of the numeral system in the Drake declared he was more in favor of the new system than ever before.
"Even to the coaches who knew the players, the numbers were a help in following the game. The reform has long been due the spectators and would have been put in force here at play but for opposition by the coaches."
After Saturday's game Coach Griffith the Drake mentor told Manager Hamilton that his school would probably give the number system a trial in their next game. The home folks will have their first chance to see the effects of the new system in Saturday's game with the Aggies.
WAR BOOSTS CERAMICS AT K.U.
Clay Workers Will Now be Forced to Depend on American Soil
The European war is forcing some of the big eastern clay factories to close down on account of shortage of material. However, this will not affect the pottery at the Ullrich of Kansas as all raw material is home product.
According to Prof. Paul Teetor, of the ceramic laboratory in the geological survey department, the war will be a great boost for the home production of clay. Practically all clay factories produce this material for foreigners who have been brought up in the old country and know nothing about the quality of other clays. Mr Teetor thinks the clay beds of North Carolina and states along the Appalachian range are quite as good if not superior to the alternative of closing down or using American product the factories are likely to develop the resources of thi courty.
EIGHT CLASSES BOUGHT CHIMES FOR O. S. U.
A $7,500 set of chines, the result of the contributions of eight classes, will be installed at the Ohio State University by December 1. The fund was raised for them and was financed by the class of 1906 and was signed by the class of 1914.
The same system has been adopted by four classes at Oberlin College, and it is probably to pay its share at once so that the chimes might be installed.
