WEEKLY PASTOR PLAN FAILS
Early Hour Deemed too Hazardous to Settle on Regular Speakers—Committee in Charge of Details
the Senate voted down the proposal of the committee to bring in members of the state clergy, each to act as University pastor for a week. It seemed to be the sense of the Senate that it would be good to give them the new hour before arranging for any elaborate plan of speakers.
The details of chapel will be left to the chapel committee. Toms committee will take under advisement the proposed plan of providing a paid administrator, and the completed arrangements are made, the class hours will change.
There was quite a difference of opinion among the Senators as to the most suitable hour for chapel. A motion to hold the exercises at 5 o'clock on mother's day of supperstones another setting a clock barely lost by a few votes.
RECAST SOONERS' QUESTIONS
Under the new plan the speaker will be limited to fifteen minutes.

COUNCIL CONTINUES TO ORGANIZE CLUBS
Associations Will Work for Better Things at the University
Organization of county clubs by the Student Council is proceeding slowly. Up to this time live counties, Smith, Jewell, Leavenworth, Douglas and Wilson, have met and made plans to work for better things at the University. Now they hold meetings and get into working order within the next few days.
Several students from any county that is yet unorganized can meet and form a club independent of the Council and later can get help and literature from the Councilman who has charge of the work in that county. A number of the counties in the western part of the state from which there are only a few students attending the University may combine and form a short grass club as was two years ago.

CHEROKEE STUDENTS START COUNTY CLUB
Plan Active Campaign for Year's Work at Meeting Last Night
JAYHAWKS TO WEAR NUMERALS AT DRAKE
Twenty-three student residents of Cherokee county organized the Cherokee County Club last night at the Beta house. All were strongly of the belief that great benefit could be of great benefit to the University as well as to the members.
In addition to students there were a number of former Cherokee county citizens present interested in the organization of the club.
The newly reorganized club decided to work again this year for the mill tax in behalf of the University by getting as much publicity in the newspapers of Cherokee county as possible. Last year each town in Cherokee county which was represented by students at the University heard a great deal about the mill tax and the reasons why it should be adopted. This work was carried on by the county organization.

The metalographic microscope in the Chemistry Building, is being mounted. This instrument was shipped to the chemical engineering department just before the outbreak of the European war.
A banquet to the high school graduates of the county and prospective students of the University will be held during the Christmas vacation by the club.
Each member of the Kansas football machine which lines up against Drake tomorrow afternoon at Des Moines will wear a large numeral on the back of his jersey. In the programs distributed to the spectators will be printed the names of the players with their numbers. As a result although probably none of tomorrow's crowd has seen the Jayhawker eleven in action this year, they will be able to follow the players on the visiting teams just as closely as a Kansas rooter would himself.
Send the Daily Kansan home.
Crimson and Blue Men Have New Sweaters With Distinguishing Marks on Them
The mounting of the instrument is a very complicated operation and is being closely supervised by Prof. W. A. Whitaker.
CHEMICALS MOUNT NEW KIND OF MICROSCOPE
This is a result of the football numeral system which Kansas has been the second school in the Missouri Valley Conference to adopt. Although talked about and argued for by sport writers in the East for several years, it was not until last Saturday's game between Missouri and William Jewell that a Missouri Valley team adopted the innovation.
The principal argument used by football coaches generally is that it will give their plays away to the other team. Coach Brewer of Missouri, however, declares even if the Jewells did know the Tiger plays last week it did little good, judging from the 46-0 score.
200 MEN WERE OUT AND $200 CAME IN
Freshmen Mixer at Student Union Started Membership Campaign With Rush
Two hundred freshmen heard speeches last night by members of the Student Council, in the Student Union. Vic Bottomly, President of the Council, Duke Kennedy and H. A. Shim, chairman of the permanent Student Union committee presented in obtaining subscriptions amounting to $200, to be applied on a new Student Union building.
The Student Council is working under the impression that if $2,000 is obtained through efforts of the Union, the state legislature will appropriate a sum of money that will make the starting of a building possible. According to plans the building should be constructed on the campus.
Will Circulate Petitions
Petitions were given out last night and before the meeting was over many had agreed to help with the work.
"The cider, which was served might have had its effect upon the class of '18 and caused the flow of good humor, but whatever the cause, the effect was exactly for the good meeting resulted," declared one of the Student Council members, who is especially interested in the work.
H. A. Shinn, in his speech, played upon student democracy for some time and declared the Student Union to be hand in hand with democracy among students in the University of Kansas.
Members of the Student Council have set their aims for 1,000 members for the Union and believes the start last night is favorable for success.

CHANGED STATUTE NECESSARY
Auditor and Attorney-General Say That Law Must be Altered to Allow Events
Mrs. Brown would have six all-University social events. Events would entail some expense. No provision in maintenance fund for expense. May change statute at next legislativeature. Mrs. Brown external plan for social plans. "To give students social training essential to higher education."
The plan of Mrs. Eustace Brown, advisor of women, for six all-University social events to be staged in six months of the school year have been postponed, at least, by the interpretation of the state statute concerning the maintenance of the University, and Attorney-General John Dawson. The events planned by Mrs. Brown would entail some expense and they hold that no provision is made in the statute for the payments of expenses for purely social affairs, as would be the events cannot be given until the statute is changed according to the state officials.
Planned Six Events
The social evenings as planned by the advisor would be six in number and would be given during six months. They would be all-University affairs, every student and faculty member attending sessions for the refreshments would be given to the W. S. G. A. and Men's Student Council, and the proceeds would go to the building of a permanent Student Union building. No charge would be made to the students for entertainment, the expense falling to the university. He is this expense that has stopped the plans for the present.
It is likely that the statute will be changed at the next session of the legislature. The University authorities will bring the matter before the legislators. Both the Attorney-Gen. and the Senate have outlined by Mrs. Brown and express themselves as hoping that a change can be made.
Mrs. Brown assigns as her reasons for the events a desire to give an opportunity at the University for better social education, thus doing away with the criticism prevalent over the state that a student at the University has no chance for social bettermatter. Some students also contend democratic basis, every student meeting every other student as an equal.
Mrs. Brown has been working on the idea of the events since she came to the University last winter and had its approval by the Board of Administration, Chancellor 'Strong,' and administration of the Gym made for the evenings on which she planned to give the social events. But the interpretation of the statute stopped everything so far as her plans went. She will now devote her attention to having a talk at the owners of the University authorities who have taken an active interest in the matter.
Divide Evenings
Spent Time on Plan
The first half of the evenings which she planned, would be given over to stunts staged by the various Schools of the University and under the direction of Prof. Arthur MacMurray, of the public speaking department. The latter half would be given up to dancing.
Mrs. Brown holds that higher education essentially concerns social education, and that no social education can be given until the students are brought together on a common basis at social functions.
