Fifty-Five Attend Event in
Myers Hall
the plans of the University Y. M. A., for the year were made known the Committeemen's banquet held Myers Hall Friday night. According to President Hal Coffman four will be worked for: promotion an honor sentiment among the students of the University, especially freshmen, a democratic social activist, a musician, and the last, the motto of association, "Every K. U. man a istian."
the emphasis in the working for honour sentiment is placed on the human class because its students are not yet formed school prejudices because four years of such work required the school with all honor dents.
the social event planned would be urged in the gymnasium once a month, and would be an all Universal affair. The reason for such an effort should be the idea that the University life is aristocratic. The Y. M. Mas is to dispel such ideas this year, the social plan. The members of Association who worked over the during the summer found the judge so strong that they determined to do something about it thison.
he last of the aims will be the big aim of all. All the others work toward it.

"LET'EM FIGHT"
SAYS K. U. PROFESSOR
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS MONDAY AFTERNOON.
W. H. Twenhofel Is No War Prophet
Prof. W. H. Twenhofel returned last night from an all summer's trip in Russia, Norway, Sweden and Germany. H eas much to talk about his work and the war that is raging in Europe. Twenhofel was working with Dr. E. Raymond, of Harvard. They were trying to work out the geologic history of northeastern Europe and its relation into the geologic history of northwestern North America. Pro-terticularity is looking much better than when he left Lawrence in the spring and says he is ready for class work.
"Talking about the war is a little wild," said the geologist this afternoon. "I cannot tell who will be the victor. Neither can anyone else. I have talked to possibly a hundred people who have been in Germany and they all say that there is an abundance of food supplies on hand, but the people shouldn't be lieve the stories they need in papers, because they are all exaggerated. The reports that come from Berlin are as false and overwritten as though they come from Leonon and Petrograd.
"Of course, the Germans want sympathy in America. They need it and they will not let any report come out from their capital city that will be deterrimental to their cause. While they are doing that, London and all England are distorting the facts just as badly in order to get enlistments. The war is going to have a bad effect on them, but the war looks now as if there was no way to stop it save fighting it out. The stories of Americans and other foreigners being mistreated in the beligertain countries are mostly untrue and when outrages do happen it is usually the fault of the victims."
Athlete Held in Europe
Iowa athletic authorities have just received word from Mortimer Blackburn, the big tackle of the 1913 freshman team there. That he has been involved in a number of war and will be unable to reach this country before the middle of October.

Boster, registrar for the freshman class," select a committee of ten from the freshman class to consider the question, if there be such, of the honor sentiment for the first-year class, and to present definite plans for the creation and promotion of the honor spirit among the individual members of the freshmen, acted upon unanimously. This committee was later intrusted with the organization of the class.
The men chosen by the committee were Neal Ireland, Warren Wattles, D. J. Kabler, Carl Wilhelmson, R. C. Charles, Ed. Todd, George A. Bell, Charles Boughton, A. B. Tourey, and F. W. Richer.
Try-out for the University Glee Club will be held at North College, Tuesday night, September 22, at seven o'clock.

"BAT THE RAT" WEEK SET
ASIDE DEAN CRUMBINE
It is estimated that the rat population in Kansas is considerably in excess of the human population and that it costs $2.00 a year per rat to keep him, in grain, groceries, young chicks, eggs, meat, vegetables, and other delicacies of which he is fond, by 1960. He is a menace to the public health as a carrier of disease and of parasites, such as bubonic plague, ape-worm, round-worm, liver flukes, lee, and other dangerous things.

Dean S. J. Crumbine, of the School of Medicine, has set aside the first week of October as a "Bat the Rat" week in Kansas.

REQUIREMENT AT K.U
Board Is Working on Plan Whereby 30 Hours Will Be Minimum
TO EQUALIZE VALLEY TEAMS
Nebraska and Missouri Have Lower Requirements Than K. U. and Other Schools Higher
Requirements for athletic work may be raised, and the schools in the Missouri Valley placed on an equal basis, if the plans of the Athletic Board work out. In the past Nebraska and Missouri have required much less work from their athletes than has K. U. while Ames, Washington and Drake have exceeded Kansas in their requirements. The fact that those who adopted, will slightly raise Kansas' standard and will put all the schools in the Missouri Valley on a common basis.
The requirements as they will stand if approved by the Board will be as follows: Students in all sports must have completed this requirement in the preceding year to make them eligible to any athletic work. But they may drop 2 hours work during the week they are actively engaged in athletics.
Courses requiring over 30 hours a year admit of deficiency of 3 hours during the semester and courses under 30 hours, one hour. These deficiencies must, in every case be made up in the following semester. The requirement under the present rule provides for 28 hours.

ENROLL BY MAIL IS NEWEST CAMPUS PLAN
Registrar Foster to Do Away With Rush at First of Year
1914.
What would you think if when you returned to Lawrence next fall to enter school you could say to yourself, "Well I shall not have to go through that horrible ordeal which was known as enrolling?"
"Well, this is exactly what may happen if the plans of Registrar Geo. O. Foster materialize. - Registrar Foster believes that all the enrolling should be done by the students before they arrive in Lawrence. The enrolling, he believes, should be done entirely by mail.
It is pointed out that at the University of Minnesota where 6900 students are enrolled each year the work is done by mail-before the students arrive at the university. If 6000 students can be enrolled through the UST, then they should be no reason why 3000 should not be handled in the same way.
One of the first things that will be necessary will be a catalog more definite than it is at this time. It seems that the catalog at this time are not off the press until obsolete. In addition, the catalog would be arranged so that it would be good for the entire year following its publication.
It the catalogs were made so that it was definite the enrolling of all the upperclassmen might be done before they leave in the spring for the fall. The student would be done by the student by simply filling out a card and depositing it at some central office. This would leave only the freshmen for the next year to be enrolled after they arrived at Lawrence. The present method of enroling is that has grown up with the development of the Board order to make any change unless the faculty chooses to make the change voluntarily.

274 APPLY FOR JOBS
AT Y. M. C. A. BUREAU
Y. M. C. A. INFORMATION
BUREAUE POPULAR PLACE
MRS. EUSTACE BROWN
Mrs. Eustace Brown, advisor of women, has laid plans this year for the formation of a Woman's Roaming House Association in which rules of self-government will be made by the women in the houses. Announcement of the plans for the formation will be made later.
During the past week 274 applications have been received at the University Y. M. C. A. for employment and fifty-nine of these satisfied by regular work jobs. During the same time there were information answered, the number of applications for work is about double that of last year and the number of men placed a few less than that of last year. It seems that this year all the people that had to employ students for work expected them at the close of the school last year so that Secretary Hoffman has comparatively few places to fill.
