WORLD LEADERS IN Y.M.C.A.TO BE HERE
John R. Mott, Dad Elliott Ted Mercer and Others Coming in February
COACH HAMILTON INTERESTED
University Association Membership Will Reach Thousand Mark After Campaign
John R. Mott, the man who sat on the British throne, A. J. Elliot, better known as Dad Elliot, Ted Mercer, a man once in the gutter, but now prominent in Y. M. C. A. work, and ten or a dozen other leaders will be attending this year's biggest Y. M. C. A. campaign ever staged at the University.
Local religious leaders and particularly those of the Y. M, C. A. are not satisfied with the response made by students to local workers. As a result these world leaders are coming to Lawrence.
Mott in Europe Now
The University committee will discuss plans for the February campaign tomorrow evening at Myers Hall.
Mr. Mott is in Europe, and the exact date of the campaign will not be set until his return to this country. Mr. Mott's campaign the campaign sometime in February.
Hamilton Gives Advice
Ted Mercer is a man with a fascinating history. His parents were wealthy and cultured people. While in college he was prominent in student activities, but before he was graduated he commenced to run wild and in a short time was a derelict. Ten years ago he regained control of himself and since has been a national leader. Y. M. C. A. work. Mr. Mercer is fraternity leader and understands how to meet other fraternity men.
Coach W. O. Hamilton in his talk Sunday afternoon emphasized the necessity of every University of Kansas student becoming a member of athletic teams. The YMCA has a wholesome moral influence on individual students, on athletic teams, and on student enterprises, he believes, and every man owes it to the University to develop the proper attitude towards life.
Others Talks to be Given
"Theire is no doubt that the membership of the Y. M. C. A. will eventually reach the 1000 mark," said Mr Hamilton. "When it does reach this mark, K. U. will be a changed school; changed for the better."
Similar talks will be given throughout the year on Sunday afternoons at 4:30 o'clock. Prof. R. A Schwegler, whose talks were popular last year, will give a series of addresses.
SISSY MEN NEED FOOTBALL
The Game Wanted Help Mollycaddles Dr. Naismith of K. U.
Believes
"Mollycoddled boys should play football," is the opinion of Dr. Jas, Naismith, head of the department of physical education of the University of Kansas, in a statement made this afternoon.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS TUESDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER, 13. 1914.
"Not that the pampered boy would make such a good football player," continued Dr. Naismith. "But he is the one who most needs that kind of physical education. Of course the boy who is sickly should not go in for him, but if he is often the case that the sickly boy is the mollycodle."
Dr. Naimshim has other ideas than this about how a football team should be built if it were to exist for the good of the men playing the ball. He says that players play in the line," believes the doctor, "He is already developed in speed and needs the work that the line would give him. The big heavy man should play in the back field where he plays the ball." He develops the slow part of his body."
Football material for the K. U. team goes through the physical education department to be picked over, some of it weeded out, some of it selected, many are advised to buy out of football teams are sent to the coaches at once.
"Two types of men are unfit for football," according to Dr. Naismith. "One class of men are abnormally built; the other class has been too slow in its development, for good football material."
FROSH ADOPT HONOR CODE
Hygiene Class Stands for Honesty and Fair Play—Naismith Approves of Action
Adopting the honor system by a resolution passed unanimously the men of the freshman class of the University yesterday, after afternoon morning recording honesty and fair play. The action was taken in the freshman hygiene class at its regular weekly meeting. The sentiment was championed by one of the freshman ticketing making the race at the class election.
Dr James Naismith made a short talk immediately following the adoption of the resolution. He declared this was the biggest thing the men could do. It would mean a great deal to the University, he said, and would eventually permit the adoption of an honor system for all the University.

RAISE PLANE OF DRAMATICS
University Plays Put on Higher Basis by Action of Board of Administration
University dramatics, has been placed on a higher basis by late action of the Board of Administration. Hereafter the department of public speaking will have charge of all coaching of players and the money derived will go for some general University purpose.
Up to this time the coaching has been done by students or a hired instructor, and the money gone to the play committee or to the senior play manager. This took the school dynamics out of the province of University affairs and placed it on the court. The Board devised to do away with this and during the summer put the whole business in the hands of the public speaking department under Prof. Arthur MacMurray.
This year the senior class will have a workable committee with the Manager of the Senior Play, Dule Kennedy, for the presentation of the department and to coordinate the department will do the coaching and take charge of the money.
TWO STUDY HEBREW—
    GUESS WHAT'S WRONG
"Great Jumping Jehoshaphat! Only two in one class and that class in Hebrew and in spite of all the inducements that have been offered. Just what is the trouble is hard to guess," said Dr. Braden, the instructor. "The students seem to feel that they are more important to enter the ministry and become advanced students in the language. Such is not the case for the course is merely to give a reading acquaintance with the language."
The University Senate will convene in special session Thursday afternoon at 4:30 to dispose of the proposed chapel plans.
CHAPEL PLANS THEME
OF SENATE DISCUSSION
The question was taken up at the regular session of the Senate last week, but was carried over to the final meeting because of lack of time.
Philosophy Club to Meet
Dr. Braden will be glad to hea from any others desiring to enter.
"Science and Personal Immortality" will be the subject of a paper to be read by Prof. H. M. Ogden before the meeting of the Philosophy Club at 7:30 p.m. tonight in Room 101 Administration Building. Professor Ogden is one of the new professors, coming from Tennessee. All students interested are invited to attend the meeting.
The Season's Greetings
PANTATORIUMS MAY NOT GO UNDER BOND
No Company at Hand, and Pressers Object to
Plan
Pantatoriums probably will not be bonded this year. The reasons given by the Council are: there is no bonding company in Lawrence which does not offer security offered by the pressers; and the pressers object to bonding, as being unfair. "Why should we be bonded and at the same time run the risk of students leaving their bills unpaid?" they ask. They believe it is more difficult for them to ways, and that if they are bonded they should also be protected.
KANSAS STUDENTS WILL
SELL SPEED-LATHES
Students of the School of Engineering of the University of Kansas will place a speed-lathe on the market in the near future if the designs are successfully successful, according to F. H. Silky, professor of mechanical engineering.
"We want something that will give students in advanced mechanical engineering courses a head start," said Professor Sibley. "If we can get a machine that is salable we will put it on the market. The lathe is essential for use in high school laboratories.
Machines of this type are sold on the market from $40 to $50. Professor Sibley says there is no way of what the new machine will sell for.
"As soon as we get one machine built we shall advertise it. If we are successful with the first one we will build more."
The School of Engineering of the University of Kansas has done some commercial work before but never in a systematic way. This is the first attempt to systematize the sale of a particular machine by the students of K U.

Soccer football as a sport at the University of Kansas may soon sink into oblivion unless a larger squad can compete. It indicates a preference for the sport.
Of the thirteen men who have checked out suits only seven are upperclassmen and eligible for a team if one is organized. Practice is beamed on the field south of the gymnasium on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.
SOCCER THREATENS TO
DIE FOR LACK OF PEF
Naomi Light will teach a Bible class of Haskell girls.
Suits may be checked out from Mr. Root in the basement of the gymnasium. As freshmen are not eligible there, they are furnished with shoes only.
Freshmen who have checked out on football or track suits and have not been reporting at the gymnasium or McCook Field for work will be flanked at the end of the term unless they report at once. This is the job of H. L. Howard, a physical director. A large number of men have been cutting gym classes on the pretext that they were out for football or track, but have not been showing up for practice. Each man is to be allowed five cuts, and at the end of the season he must be required for gym work he will be required to take it again the coming year.
FRESHMEN MUST REPORT
OR LOSE GYM CREDIT
UNION WEEK BRINGS ONLY FAIR RESULTS
Present Project as Permanen Will Suffer Unless Given Immediate Support
Membership week for the Student Union brought only fair results. Financial foundations of the present Union as well as prospects for a permanent Union are going to suffer unevenness. Students need for members, according to the committee members. Many men, especially freshmen, are hard to induce to join because they are not yet familiar with the Union and its purpose. Many believe that only large numbers allowed the privilege of the house.
Good support for the present Union now while furniture and equipment are being paid for is the best way to secure a permanent Union for Kansas. Any Councilman will give a student a membership card on application, with the privilege of paying for it later.
Although seven men engaged in the work have been working constantly for more than a week, the task of laying the water main to the Library and Chancellor Frank Strong's assistance is still in need. A week's work is ahead of the gang of men before the ditch will be finished.
MOUNT OREAD HARD TO DIG?
The laying of the new main was necessitated by the lack of pressure in the city water pipes on the Hill. Frequently the pressure has been so low that it would be impossible to use city water in fighting a fire on the Hill. The private plant of the city publicly owned fire brigade soon as the new main is connected. Two fire plugs will be installed on the main.
Takes Two Weeks to Complete the Water Main to Chancellor Strong's Residence
Workmen are experiencing difficulty is dislodging the rock, and it is often necessary to use one and a half times as much maime to bunt the hard Oread stone.
Membership Committee Will Serve Cider at General Meeting Thursday Evening.

The membership committee of the Men's Student Council will have charge of the affair and cider will be served with the nice students, it is coordinated with the new students, it must that a visit to the home of the men will interest freshmen and other new fellows in the Student Union.
UNIVERSITY GIRLS
TO BE CARPENTERS
Quietly, without a hint of feminine giggles or girlish screams, the University women's wood and bench work class went through its first session Saturday morning in Fowler Shops. Under the instruction of Prof. F. E. Jones, the four women who enrolled as first members of the course were instructed to at their task of "making things." The exercises of the morning were simple ones, consisting mainly of preliminary practice in planning; a lesson designed to acquaint the new students with a use of their tools.
RICE HOLDS FIRST CLASSES
Lawrence Attorney Will Teach Law While Professor Higgins is in Colorado
R. E. Rice, of Lawrence, who will teach the law classes of Prof. W. E. Higgins while the latter is in Colorado for his health, appeared as an instructor on the Hill this morning; he left for Colorado shortly before noon.
Mr. Rice announced that there would be no more changes in the class work than possible an he wished to conduct them on the same plan used by Professor Higgins. Mr. Rice taught on the Hill last year and so is experienced at the work. He will hold classes at 8 and 1:30 o'clock and will try to arrange to spend an hour at the office each afternoon by the benefit of those students who wish to consult him. Regular reports of the work done by the classes will be sent to Professor Higgins by Mr. Rice.
CALLS FOR FIRST TRY-OUT
Captain Stuffy Dummire Issues Re request for Initial Practice of

ELLIOT COMES TO UNIVERSITY
Harrison Elliott, national committeeman on Bible study for the Y. M. C. A. will arrive in Lawrence this evening to consult with the local clergy and secretaries of the Y. M. and Y. W. C.

WOMEN HEAR STRANGE TALES
Miss Abby Mayhew Tells Mrs Brown's Guests of Many Peculiar Customs in Orient
Miss Abby Mayhew was the guest of a honor at a tea given by Mrs. Eusebia Brown in the Women's Corner yesterday afternoon from 3 until 5. Miss Mayhew showed an interesting dress, which she had a royal Mandarin coat that some great man had worn, and a bridal costume embroidered in gold in a delicate pattern. The shoes of this costume were not more than four inches long. Yet the women wearing these dresses were very many specimens of Chinese skill in carving, lacquer work and needlework. The women carry small silver water pipes, which they frequently smoke. Since the Americans have gone into China the women have up their pipes for the cigarette.
The Chinese have strange ideas. They put heads representing animals on the children's shoes so their feet can see well in the night.

IT'S COLD NOW, BUT 'TWILL GET WARMER
J. M. Shea Is Preparing to Give Jack Frost'a Hot Reception
"Buh! 'it's cold in here," was the complaint heard in many of the classes this morning. The furnaces had not awakened from their summen and were not ready to relieve the situation, so several of them and 9 o'clock classes had to dismiss.
In Fraser the 8 and 9 o'clock German and English classes found the cold almost unbearable. Wild estimates were advanced as to the temperature in the rooms, which ranged from freezing to twenty degrees below zero. At 10:30 a little welcome news of the radiators in Fraser and suffering was relieved. No such good fortune belfell the Medic Building.
Classes in journalism meeting in the Medic lecture room shivered while Jack Frost sauntered up and down the aisles undisturbed.
In desperation delegates were chosen from different departments to consult John Shea, superintendent of buildings. His answers were encouragement is plenty of coal. Jack Frost will meet with a warm reception tomorrow.
