Charles H. Talbot Reports Remarkable Increase in Numbers and Explains Work of League
The sixth annual convention of the League of Kansas Municipalities opened this morning at ten o'clock in Robinson Gymnasium. Addresses of welcome were given by W. J. Francisco, on behalf of the city of Lawrence, and Chancellor Frank Strong, on behalf of the University of Kansas. President C. W. Green, mayor of Kansas City, responded, the report of the secretary-treasurer following, Mr. Talbot explained the work of the league and its remarkable growth in the past few years.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS WEDNESDAY AFTERNON, OCTOBER 7, 1914.
"Kansas as a commonwealth, as an aggregation of individuals, is the most efficient wealth producing community man for man that there is in the United States," declared University of Kansas, in his address this morning before the League of Kansas Municipalities.
"This is true largely because it so protects its growing generations and the general life of its communities as to prevent the enormous economic loss from low moral standards and sinister interests that prey upon the youth of a community," continued Dr. Strong.
Good Conduct Pays
"It is good business to have the community morally clean. In the future it is going to be plain to all of the governing bodies of our cities that good business requires not only a well kept town, good paving, good sewers, and good fire and police regulations, but also requires a moral, and religion regulation of its institutions to prevent the inefficiency and economic waste that comes from an unsound and inadequate moral and religious life.
SENIOR WOMEN WILL
MIX ON GOLF LINKS
"Few towns have yet discerned clearly enough the most vital proposition in connection with town life. The highest duty of any community is to bring all of its force to bear to see that the growing generations as they come along are given a fair chance for the development of the best kind of physical and moral and intellectual life. It is impossible to have a community of the highest type unless its young people are thoroughly protected," concluded Chancellor Strong.
The success of this first mixer will determine plans that are being made for several similar affairs. Maudie Wynn, who has a class, is taking charge of the mixer.
The seniors women will hold their initial "pow-wow" on the golf links Thursday evening from 4:30 till 5 p.m. The girls will meet at Robinson Gymnasium at 4:30. A poster has been placed on the bulletin board in Fraser Hall to draw attention to their names. Dinner will be served over the camp fire, and several unique features are which will follow.

OREAD GOLF PLAYERS ENERGETIC AS CRICKETS
"W. J. B. PEERLESS ORATOR, WATCH HIM," SAYS HILL
William Jennings Bryan, Secretary of States, thrice candidate for president of the United States, should be the exemplar of all students of oratory, according to H. T. Hill, assistant professor of public speaking. His reputation as the greatest orator and extemporaneous speaker of the present age is due to his articulation, which is perfect, in Professor HILL's opinion, and to his use of interesting, close fitting illustrations.
Now that its life is assured the Oread Golf Club has proceeded to elect officers. At its last meeting the following men were chosen to guide the destinies of the association: president M. Briens; secretary C. A. Altman; secretary J. B. Whelan; treasurer H. C. Allen, and team captain M. W. Sterling.
After the election of officers the following committees were elected: Executive, H. C. Allen, C. A. Altman, E. M. Briggs, R. E. Carter, M. W. Sterling and J. B. Whalen. Grounds, M. W. Sterling, N. P. Sherwoy, V. C. Malgern, and J. Raymon. Officers, W. R. Robertson, W. I. Whalen and W. Sterling, W. R. B. Robertson, and E. M. Briggs. Auditign, F. B. Dains, and E. W. Burgess.
Plans for the regular fall tournament are being made and will soon be announced by the tournament committee. Students or faculty members ishing to join the club should hand in a copy of the executive committee. The course is now in good condition and the club members expect a good season.
No definite arrangements for women's dormitories are being made at present, but the district organization of girls is to finish this week. The president of the W. S. G A., Doris Hackbusch, is enthusiastic over the work and believes that organization of women in sections all over the city, with active presidents, will present an ideal situation. District meetings will be held for general discussion. By this a democratic atmosphere will be created among all University women.
Harry Harlan, middle law, and A. M. McCullough, sophomore engineer have been chosen by Cheerleader J罗贝威 to be his assistants this week. Their students to bank them as they have him in rendering the Rock Chalk.

HARLAN AND McCULLOUGH
TO ASSIST CHEERLEADER
"With the exception of members of the ministry, Mr. Bryan uses more Biblical expressions, and quotations than any other public speaker, and such quotations, when used as he uses them, are the best form of illustrations," declared Professor Hill. "One advantage he enjoys over many other speakers is that he is justified in making use of his political experience, a thing most public men cannot do."
Chairman of Each Group to Meet With Mrs. Brown Monthly
MRS. BROWN WILL ADVISE
Conferences Not Held to Reveal Names of Offenders—Leave That to W. S. G. A.
Definite plans were laid for the Women's Roaming House Association at a meeting of Mrs. Brown, advisor of women, with six roaming house presidents Monday. There are now fifteen houses in the group, including the sororities, which are considered already organized.
It was decided at the meeting that the chairman of each group should meet with Mrs. Brown at her office on the fifth of every month. This monthly meeting is not to report the breach of rules, but rather to discuss, collectively, their concerns and be given except in very rare cases. Mrs. Brown's idea is to cultivate good feeling as well as augment the conformation to reasonable rules. She wants the women to feel that she is acting in an advisory capacity and not disciplinary. When she summons them for questioning, they may avoid trouble that will bring them before the W. S. G. A.
At other universities the power of the Dean of Women extends to advising the parents of girls who make themselves conspicuous, offensive or deleterious to the life of theiversity. Mrs. Brown does not expect her students to need assistance. She hopes to hear from the other rooming houses as soon as they organize. A copy of the membership, chairmanship address, and copy of the rules should be left at her office to be placed on file.
Coleman Hall—Helen Demuth.
Soxman House—Amy Kincaid.
Gumbiner House—Joyce Siefers.
Mu Phi House—Agnes Urlaub.
Westminster House—Luella Cory,
Allemania—Eunice Pleasant.
The following chairmen were elected Monday;
