LINE TO FORM IN SOUTH PARK
NUMBER 13
Manager W. O. Hamilton Will Ar range a Place for Women in Marching Columns
Women at the University have asked that they be allowed to march in K. U's annual opening football parade next Saturday afternoon.
Mrs. Eustace Brown, advisor of women has asked Manager W. O. Hamilton to allow the women to march and he has arranged to make a place in the procession for them. If the women turn out to student body and this, thinks Manager Hamilton will encourage the team considerably. Besides the women in the parade will be the men, faculty, Lawrence business men, and dozens of down town football followers.
Following notices sent out by the state and local health authorities, the University of Pennsylvania made vaccination compulsory this year, and many students seeking to enroll were forced to drop out of line until they received their vaccines having submitted recently to a successful operation. They were sent to their physicians or to the student physicians to have the work done.
The line will form in the park and will march over the down town streets. Seats will be reserved for those in the parade.

Although the basketball season does not officially open until after Christmas, Manager W. O. Hamilton expects to call the candidates for the Varsity five together in a couple of weeks. With five K men back in school and a number of promising bromins from the teams, the prospects for a repetition of last year's Missouri Valley championship are good.

Acceptances from the cities which have been invited to send delegates to the Municipal convention which is to be held in Lawrence October 7, 8, and 9, are beginning to come in to the office of the secretary, Prof. C. H. Talbot, of the extension division of the University.
Classes at Washburn University opened with a large enrollment. Owing to the fact that all students in the law school will not enroll until graduation, it is expected can not be figured up. It is expected to exceed last year's.
COUNCIL MAKES MOVE FOR MILL TAX LAW
Men's Governing Body to Organize County Clubs to Further Legislation
WILL MAP OUT CAMPAIGN
President Bottomly Says Association Will Draw up Definite Working Plans
Because the legislature meets this year, and a bill providing for a mill tax for the state educational institutions will be introduced, Victor Bottomly, president of the Student Council, announced today that the Council would take steps immediately after the election to form county clubs, whose purpose, primarily, will be to boost the measure.
From the clubs formed, a federation of club officers will be organized, those business it will be to map out plan of campaign. The various districts are formed from their districts are fully informed as to the merits of the measure.
Heretofore the federation of clubs has been an independent organization, with councilary initiative to get the federation perfected. Bottomly thinks that a more stable organization can be formed.
"There is no doubt," he said, "but that the measure is a good one, and that it will] eventually become a law. The people must understand its adjoining implications. County clubs are a good medium for disseminating the knowledge."
STUDENT TICKETS WILL NOT BE SOLD AT GATE
Manager Hamilton announced this morning that all students who wish to be admitted to the game Saturday on student tickets must buy the same from the office of the registrar before the game as they will not be on sale at the field. Up to this morning only 242 regular and seventeen guest tickets had been purchased. The regular gate admission will be charged Saturday unless students have their enterprise tickets.
M'CARTY WANTS BIG MEN
Tyro Coach Says He Needs More Beef to Put Against the Varsity
Coach Leon McCarty wants big freshmen to come out for the class team. Last night there were about six who resembled the accepted idea of a football man, and a hundred and one who weigh about 100.
"These light men may have the speed, but we want heavier men to go against the Varsity in this week's practice," said the coach. The freshman no man is sure of his place and men who come out now have as good a chance as anyone to win a position. The fifteen making the squad will be rewarded with their class numerals, be admitted to all the games, get the benefit and experience of expert coaching and will probably be given a chance to play at the championship. This first year training has been found invaluable by many Kansas football heroes. The results of it are seen in many a sophomore try
This first year training has been found invaluable by many Kansas too. It can be seen in many a sophomore trying for a place on the Varsity.
Persons who have rooms available for rent to the delegates to the municipal convention are requested to call C. H. Talbot, secretary, at K. U. 101, stating location, number of rooms, and the price.

SIXTEEN WILL SING FOR K. U. THIS YEAR
Professor Downing Please With Aggregation of Voice Artists
Long snaky coils of black smoke rose high on the horizon southwest of Mount Oread this morning. Week-old geology students fearlessly declared it a volcano, and experts declared it a second Vesuvius. They looked, quaked and listened for the inevitable eruption.
AND TERROR SMOTE THE WATCHERS ON THE NOSE
Lo, even classes were forgotten as they stared and thought of home and mother. Dates were forgotten like last summer's haircuts, and no fair co-eed took John and Bill to task for their neglect. Even tickets were not handed to the president of the Student Council in time to be recognized. And as a consequence: several

M'COOK FIELD LOOKS FINE
Completely Sadded and With a New Fence it Appears $600 Better Than Last Year
McCook Field which will greet the William Jewell eleven Saturday will be a different gridron from the one they played on last year. Even if it rains the visitors will find no sea of mud or no amateur lakes.
During the summer the entire field was sodded so that it now closely resembles a well kept front lawn. A wire fence has been built parallel to the fence track. Manager Hamilton says that the improvements cost $600.
EMPORIA TO PLAY HASKELI
Lawrence football bugs expect a spirited football game when Bill Hargiss brings his Kansas Normalts to Haskell Field Friday. The Redskins have a big schedule this year but most of their games are away from Lawrence and the game with the Normal may be the last chance to see Kennedy's pupils in action. While some dopsters expect a big massacre of Pedagogs, others are more conservative.

about the middle of February. Ignominious defeats that *would have resulted from Friday's election will never be recorded in the book of Vital Statistics. And the district court, with Cupid judge pro tem, will be swamped beneath an avalanche of divorces.
Hargiss had more than a hundred men from which to pick his eleven and his heavy line and fast backs may surprise the Indians.
But, back to the volcano! The inevitable eitable. Lower and lower the smoke sank over the summit of the mound until at last it melted into the purple haze of the Kansas morn. It threw that energy $25,000 worth of youthful, wasted watching the crater, and Lawrence eye doctors will be about $200 richer when all the students have been treated.

SIX MORE MEN CARRY GUNS
— AND THEN A HAIRGUT
+BUT FRESHMAN CAP
FIXED HIM UP O.K.
Six new men became members of Company M., at its regular meeting last night, but Capt. F. E. Jones says he still has "room for ten more. Freshmen who enlist and attend drill once a week are to be given credit for gym work. This is proving a drawing card for first year men. By attending drill once a week they are exempt from three hours' work in a gym class. Advantages of this arrangement are plainly evident.
Recruits Join Company M but Ten are Needed to Bring it up to War Strength
No rifle practice will be held for the company this week, as the range officer is on duty at Fort Riley and will provide extra drill will be held Tuesday evening.
NO ADVANCED STANDING
EXCEPT WHILE FRESHMEN
"Few 'students are aware of the fact that they can not get advanced standing unless they make application for it at the time of entrance', said Dean Templin, this morning. "Many students come to the University and wait until they are let in, or fail security for advanced standing. This is against the ruling of the faculty and is in no case allowed."
Senior Laws Elect
At a meeting of the seniors in the School of Law held this morning the following officers were elected: president, William M. Morrow over Floyd L. Loveless; vice-president, Jerry Simpson; secretary, Baurin; treasurer, Guy O. Neal over John G. Somers.
GRADS BEST PHARMACISTS
University Students Who Take State Examinations Get Highest
Every graduate from the pharmacy department, who applied for a state certificate at the last state examination, passed, and from this number, five in all, came the two highest examinations returned.
Twenty-seven applicants from different portions of the state tried for the examination but only thirteen passed, including the five University
The K. U. men who took the examination were: Ernest E. Gates, Claud B. Wandell, G. H. Hall, Cris Yager, and Emsley L. Johnson. Johnson and Yager made the highest grades in the examination.
CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT FEELS EUROPEAN WAR
The department of chemistry is beginning to feel the effects of the European war. Some of the orders assigned to German markets are now tied up in English harbors or ports along the line. Many of the drugs have increased in price from 25 to 500 per cent.
New Intercollegiate Events
The discus and javelin throws are to be recognized officially as intercollegiate events by the Intercollegiate A. A. A. association this winter.
Attempts have been made for some time to secure their recognition. The hop, skip, and jump is another new event, formerly "tabooed" by the authorities.
Dr. F. B. Dains of the chemistry department said, "We have received only one important foreign shipment this fall, an addition of one hundred volumes to the library. This was one of the last shipments to leave Germany. At present, none of the departments is suffering great inconvenience, but if the war continues a year, the work in next year's advanced classes will be seriously hampered."
Having served its time in an old bicycle shed, the new School of Journalism at the University of Montana has now been given a new building. The Montana cubs publish the Kalmin, a weekly sheet.

WILL TELL ABOUT POETS
Willard Wattles Will Give Number of Lectures on Modern American Verse, Writers
Willard A. Wattles, one of the younger Kansas poets, and at present an instructor in the English department of the University, will offer a course of five lectures on Modern American Poets, all of whom Wattles has known personally and visited in their homes.
The price of the lectures will be $1.00 for the entire series, and the proceeds will be given into the treasury of the Quill Club by the ex-tenured members of the Extra Magazine, the first number of which will appear at Thanksgiving time.
OREAD GOLF CLUB WILL NOT SELL ITS PROPERTY
The motion to sell the property to the Lawrence Country Club was withdrawn at the annual meeting of the Oread Golf Club held last night in the Merchants' Association rooms. An agreement was made with the Country Club by which the club may mowers not needed on the campus.
The following officers were elected for the coming year: president, E. M. Briggs; vice-president, C. A. Altman; secretary, J. B. Whelon; treasurer, H. C. Allen; team captain, M. W. Sterling.
VICTORY!! THEN THE BIG FEED AND PARADE
University Men to Be Busy From Noon Until Midnight Saturday
Free ice cream, free candy, free pictures!
Everything free; everybody free
Corned and city fop look alike merchants or merchants in a night shirt parade.
After seeing Kansas walk over the Jewelers Saturday afternoon on McCook, 1000 men will banquet in Robinson Gymnasm. Speakers after the feed are President Ed. Hackney, Chancellor Frank Strong, Uncle Jimmy Green; Coach Jack Wheaton and Coach W. O. Hamilton. If possible, Governor George Hodges will come down from Topeka to address the vice-president. If there and Jo Berwick and his big megaphone will not be among the absentees. It will be one evening of spiky talks and rousing cheers.
From the gymnasium, the men will go to South Park, from whence, with Cheer-leader Berwick in the front ranks, they will charge down Massachusetts street in quest of more land to conquer. Picture shows ice cream trucks and tents that rest will open their doors to the ghostly figures from Mount Oread.
Thirty-five cents and a student enterprise ticket is all that is necessary to admit to all the pleasures of the college. Students can purchase Thursday and Friday in Myers Hall and the registrar still has a few enterprise tickets left.
Oread Magazine to Appear
The Oread Magazine, the official publication of the Quill Club will be on sale this year as heretofore. This was the decision of the Club at its meeting held yesterday afternoon.
The election of officers was postponed until next week.

COUNCIL SAYS, "DON'T YOU BE ROUGH NOW"
Men's Governing Body Will Tolerate No Rowdiness in Parade
FIRST SMOKER REPRIMANDED
Dick Williams Reminded of University Rule—Fiske, Stockton and Teed Fill Vacancies
Undue roughness and destruction of property by students in the annual night shirt parade Saturday night will result in immediate action by the Student Council. This was the decision of the Student Council in its second meeting of the year last night.
Dick Williams, first violator of the smoking rule, was reprimanded by the Council. A number of names are in the hands of the Council for the same offense. These will be acted upon at the next meeting.
Otho Fische, Albert Teed, and Marcellus Stockton were elected from the six candidates to fill the three vacancies on the Council caused by the failure of M. E. Johnson, Phil D. Milner and Walter Rockwell to return to school.
The numerous complaints brought to the attention of the Council concerning the wide use of proxies in the general school elections and the consequent disputes, resulted in the passing of a ruling which prohibits the use of all proxies in such elections. The voter must appear in person if he wishes his ballot to be counted.
The Council also voted that any room on the second floor of the Union building would be available for organization meetings, with the exception of the living room. This will be open to all members of the Union at any time.
MAJOR RULE NOW IN FORCE
Sophs File Notice in May—Upper Classes Get Advice From Major Department
Many students of the upper classes have found fault with the new major work requirements since they returned to school this fall. They felt that a member of the department in which they were doing their major work would meet them and arrange their work for the junior and senior years and when this did not occur they were surprised.
The ruling required sophomores to file with the dean a notice of the department in which they wished to do their major work but as the time at which the ruling was made was near the close of school last year's sophomore class was exempt and as it was not feasible to try to start the rule in on this year's senior class it was entirely exempt. As a result the old system of enrolling had to be followed.
SOCCER CANDIDATES TO MEET ON GYM FIELD
The meeting of the soccer football candidates scheduled for yesterday afternoon will be held at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon on the field south of the University of Texas at Austin's Smith, University physician will have charge of the soccer team this year.
No Bleachers for Them
