FIVE HUNDRED ATTEND UNION HOUSE WARMING

One-Third of Men Students Open New Home With Biggest Little Rally of All Time
JAYHAWKER PEP RAMPANT
K. U. Enthusiasm Breaks Forth in Song Smoke, and Tiger Yells—the Real Thing at Kansas
They were all there, everybody; everyone but the members of the Men's Student Council and it is rumored that even some of them were there.
It was the biggest little rally of all time, down at 1200 Tennessee last night and it wasn't the eve of a great football game either; just the opening of the Student Union, marking the beginning of a new era in school spirit and enthusiasm at the University of Kansas.
Between 7 o'clock and 9:30, five hundred men students christened the first student home of the University. Throughout the evening the first floor was crowded with Union members shaking hands with each other through clouds of blue cigar smoke, making use of their friendship kind. On the top floors men tried to play cards, and even a checker game was started, but the enthusiasm was too great and the games were given up early in the evening. The magazines attracted a few but not for long, because—well, they were all there for other things, and according to the Tiger's eyes, and did various other things that go to make up a real live rally.
And they all smoked, because it was the proper thing to do, and the enthusiasm grew; more students came until finally it wasn't a mere "house-warming" any longer. Some had to make room for those coming late; the christening was done itself into a big great little rally showing the finest kind of school spirit that can be gotten together anywhere.
It was a generous rally, too; more than a hundred men turned over the dollar due to Duke Kennedy, who occupied a corner at the foot of the stairs. Kennedy is chairman of the Student Union committee, and appeared to like this part, although thus far that any other, albeit the he was to busy making out dollar receipts, to answer questions or give out an interview.
And music? Yes, lots of it; by Spad Conner, Bobby Barnes, and Paul Royer, and scores and scores of male voices from the outside as well as those packed around the piano, singing, "Sit Down, you are Rocking the Boat." "There's a Girl in the Heart of Maryland," said another sailor, Jayhawk, a verse or two of "The Crimson and the Blue," and then just yells and cheers, and plenty of rich Kansas enthusiasm the anti-Missouri kind.
But then after all it didn't amount to so very much; it was only the be of her.
L. J. HEINZMAN TALKS
L. J. NEENHAM TALES
TO Y, M. ABOUT CAMPAIGN
The interest in the Mott Campaign is increasing with each weekly meeting of the committee. The Rev. N. S. Elderin, pastor of the Congregational church of this city, is conducting these meetings, the purpose of which is to train the volunteers to take an active part in the evangelistic campaign which the Y. M. will conduct next fall.
L. J. Heinman spoke to the Mott Campaign committee last night bringing to them news of the great campaign that was recently carried on at Penn. State. He told of the methods that were used in that campaign and of the things that made it a success.
PAN-HELLENIC GIRLS WILL
CUT "RUSISF" TO TEN DAYS
Pan-Hellenic, the inter sorority society of the University, at a meeting held at the Theta house to discuss the rushing rules, decided to cut down the rushing season from two weeks to ten days. This period allowed students to register, and continue until Wednesday of the following week.
The Pan-Hellenic decided to give a
advance in honor of Mrs. Eustace Brown,
in honour of her.
System Editor to Speak
Willard Sammons, sales editor of System, a trade magazine, has tentatively agreed to speak at the University during Merchants' Week. He is very much in favor of the conveniences Professor Coisman is organizing.
FEES AND TAG-DAYS PUT OUT THE JUNIOR MEMORIAL
Money Paid Out For Dance and Vaudeville Affect Subscriptions to Third-year Proposition
These assessments and tag days do not make a hit with the Junior memorial committee. Harold Mattoon, chairman of the committee said this morning that they thought about all the people in the class who had not paid were overburdened with subscribing to the late cause of college day and the big vaudeville show in the near future and there was no chance to get them to "come across" for the Juniors' "forget-us-not."
About one hundred dollars has been raised by the class up to the present time. The boosters of the proposition will do all they can this year to get $25 more. There will be another assessment, and they will be selected according to the amount of money they have to spend.
WILL DETERMINE COST OF TEACHING STATE SCHOOLS
The School of Education has started preliminary work for the determination of the cost of teaching each subject in the secondary schools of the state. The Board of Education is considered responsible and value of each course, but no definite arrangements have been made.
Fine Arts to Entertain
The faculty members of the School of Fine Arts will entertain tomorrow evening at North College with a party for all fine arts students. The course will be a program the nature of which is to be a complete surprise.
Football Squad to Meet
Captain Detwiler has called a meeting of the 1913 football squad at the Phi Delta Theta house at 8 o'clock tonight.
Of course the crowds of last night will not continue regularly, and of course the students will jolly along and make the best of the situation until a better Union can be obtained; but a building on the campus which can accommodate at least three thousand men at one time is necessary and inevitable.
TOO SMALL
No students who attended the housewarming at the new Union last night can doubt that the present home is too small to be a permanent meeting place.
The quicker a location is selected, blue prints are printed and a financing proposition suggested; the quicker sod will be broken for the long needed structure.
The time to keep moving toward that eventual Union is now.

An appeal for wrestlers, placed in the Kansan by Jay Bond, wrestling coach, last week, has brought ample returns, and Bond now has hopes of turning out a squad of mat artists who must work hard to equal. Wrestling had been a dead sport at Kansas for some time previous to Bond's announcement, but now fifteen athletes are working out with him daily and are showing great progress in this fight of the many art of self defense.
The first match will be with the Kansas Aggies, here or at Manhattan, in two weeks. The Aggie squad is in good condition now and ready to put up a hard fight, but Bonsi wants more time to develop his team.

The Council members who were not in court today claim that the warrants have not yet been legally served. "The action of the policeman at the Union last night was a shock to me, and I could hear what he was saying and besides all the Councilmen were not present."
Kennedy and Miller were released on their own recognition but the other members will be required to give bond. Judge Benson announced this afternoon that every member must be on hand Saturday morning without fail. He said it was impossible to try the men separately because there was but one general complaint.
"This is no joke," declared E. E. Myers, chief-of-police this afternoon. "We are not going to fool with the students. I would advise all members to appear in court Saturday of their own volition. Unless they do this, they will be arrested. If they fail to take advantage of this, they need expect no favors from the police."
Dean P. F. Walker of the School of Engineering conferred this afternoon with Judge Benson in regard to the case.
Act 2. The Arrest. Enter Officer. Exit Council
Rah, Rah, Rah,
Rah, Rah, Rah,
Cop, Cop, Cop.
Such was the greeting of two hundred men who packed the new Student Union Building last night when a policeman appeared with seventeen warrants for the arrest of the members of the Men's Student Council.
The new piano in the corner which had been padded all evening was silenced; a game of dominoes up stairs was abandoned; the men in an exciting game of checkers moved their last man and joined the throne below. They took the chair for the audience of four dozen men who wanted to know what the matter with the cop, and five dozen who insisted that he was all right.
"Roon for the law, fellows, make way for our guest."
"Watch him closely, men, maybe he make a pinch hit."
"Welcome to our midst, officer;
how do you like our Union?"
how do you like our son?
"Peace! silence! He speaks."
"I seek the Student Council. Are any of the men here?"
Thus spoke the officer, drawing from his pocket seventeen warrants. The replies were various, confused, inconsistent.
"Is Leslie Dodd present?"
"Is W. J. Malcolmson here?" (solo)
"Out of town." (chorus)
"Henry Maloy? (solo)
"Not here" (chorus)
"Not here." (chorus)
"John Madden?" (solo)
"in the next room." (chorus)

Officer A. J, Daley confronts Floyd F.
Fisher. He sneaks:
"I have a warrant for your arrest." He reads:
"Whereas complaint in writing, under oath, has been made to me, and it appearing that there are reasonable grounds for believing that on or about the day of the shooting, D. I. 1914, in the city of Lawrence in Douglas county and state of Kansas, one John Madden then and there being, did them and there
