MANY STUDENTS LIKE THAT BARGAIN OFFER
NUMBER 56.
Undergraduates Pay $2.00 Fo Daily Kansan Until End Of Year
COUNTY CLUBS BUY PAPER
"Hurry up in front, I have a class at nine;" "Here's my two bones send it to Henry Smith, rural route five, Carbondale, Kansas;" "My county club has instructed me to take advantage of the Kansan's special rate and do a little advertising for the University by sending the Kansan to each high school in our country. We assessed each month her twenty-five cents to pay for the papers"; "this sure is some bargain; 110 issues for two dollars." This is part of the conversation heard in the line of bargain seekers before the circulation man's desk at the Kansan office between the eight and nine o'clock periods this morning.
Use it to Advertise University in Their Districts; Assess Members to Collect Fee
Upon investigation the Kansan reporter found that some students were sending the paper to their parents, to friends who are prospective students, to brothers and sisters who are living in another state, and that many of the old grads have been sending a letter for a personal letter from the students of old K. U. every school day for the rest of the year.
Have you taken advantage of a bargain?
Come over and see the others who believe in the paper and if you don't want the paper to be seen in the county club and advertise the best University in Kansas.

NOVEMBER HEAT RECORD
GREATEST SINCE 1879
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 8, 1913.
Although the Kansas football team did nothing unusual in November the weather perhaps shaped the date of the team in its unbroken record for gloominess. Until this year night August fogs was a record but the month closing had fouled. The weather report says that the earliest since records have been taken here. The mean cloudiness was "64.9 per cent if the sky" if you know what that means.
The mean temperature for the month was 47.3 degrees, which is 5.8 degrees above the November average and has been exceeded only four times in the past forty-five years. The minimum temperature is the highest recorded for a November at this station and November, 1878 is the only other on record which had no winter days, that is a day with a mean temperature below 32 degrees.

Y. W. TO HELP AROUSE AN HONOR SENTIMENT
AssociationWill Support Committee in Effort to Raise Student Standards.
TELL JUST WHAT CHEATING IS
Women Include Some Professors
Women Include Some Profession
Among Causes of Dishonest Work
—Agree to Sign Pledge
THE Y. W. C. A. PLEDGE
Y. W. C. A. women have agreed to sign the following honor resolution; Resolved:
That we, the undersigned members of the Young Woman's Christian Association of the University of Kansas, do pledge ourselves to help further, as far as we can, the students' investment among the donors of the University by individual honesty and support of the honor sentiment committee.
The Y. W. C. A. yesterday afternoon at its regular meeting promised to back the honer sentiment committee with its support.
Five minutes were spent in an open discussion on each of the four following phases of the honor system: What cheating includes, causes of cheating, influence of cheating, can be done here in a practical way.
Women Define Cheating
The women pointed out that dishevet work in examinations is not the only form of cheating, declaring that it includes "inherted" themes and notebook-based drawings, and laboratory prepared by some one else.
Various causes for cheating were suggested by the women. The following were among the reasons given; that some people are too lazy to work out the experiment and some are working for grades instead of knowledge; that some professors help make cheating easy by not varying the notebook requirements. Year to year, and other returning students, hardly had not read data; that some students who would not think of cheating themselves give other people their work because if they refuse they are afraid they will be considered stingy and thereby lose friends.
Adopts Honor Sentiment Plan
An honor sentiment consisting of three main points, that you do not receive help, that you do not give help, and that you talk personally to any person whom you see cheating, was endorsed by the meeting rather than an honor system.
Dr. L. V. Redman Goes to Chicago to Arrange Final Details For His Factory
WILL ORGANIZE PLANT TO MAKE REDMANITE
Dr. L, V. Redman left last night for Chicago where he will make final arrangements for the organization of the S. Karpen Co., which will capitalize and perfect his discovery—Redmanite.
The organization will start with a capital of $10,000 which will be increased when the plant is in working order. The location of the plant has not been decided upon but will probably be in Chicago, Prof. R. K. Humph can, a former professor there has of place for the laboratory in his establishment at Pittsburg, but they do not know whether they will accept.
It has taken Professor Redman and his associates, A. J. Weith and F. P. Brock nearly four years to bring their invention "Redmanite" which is named after the originator, to perfection. At first the men began working on a process for making a synthetic resin and were successful in discovering a process. The professors have improved upon the material until now the substance may be used as a lacquer or as a substitute for amber, horn or celluloid in the manufacture of small earrings. The material may also be used in the manufacture of small jewels. Another field of usefulness which Redmanite may be used for is the connections with electrical instruments and wires. It has an emulating power and it is thought that it will do the work when fully tested.
ENGINEERING FACULTY TO
TEACH SANTA FE CIVILS
The engineering school will conduct classes in Topeka if the plans of the extension department of the University are worked out. The recent order of the Santa Fe railroad requiring all men in its engineering work to be college graduates is required for the plan of resident classes.
Dean P. F. Walker has arranged to send a professor from the engineering school to Topeka each Saturday afternoon to meet classes in engineering. The classes will meet in the railroad Y. M. C. A. at Topeka and will use the laboratories of the Santa Fe shops.
The present plan is to give three years engineering instruction at Topeka and the fourth year at Lawrence. If the courses prove popular, the entire four years work will be given at Topeka and a student can receive his engineering degree without coming to the University at all.

DISCUSS CRITICISM OF TIGER TRIP ROOTERS
Members of Council Decide Comment Too Indefinite for Any Action
Further plans were made for the football mixer, December 10 in Fratern Aid hall. The council expects 700 men at the mixer. A complete program will be taught and fingerprints on go on sale at once. The admission will be fifty cents.
The criticism of the conduct of Kansas students on the trip to Columbia was discussed at length by the Men's Student Council last night. The council decided that the criticism was too indefinite and that the matter did not come within the jurisdiction of the Student Council.
In response to several requests from students, the council considered the sentiment toward a change of coaching staff at the University next year. The body refused to express this opinion and allowed it at length and laid it on the table.
"I shall take the matter up with the advisory committee of the faculty at once," said President Dodd this morning, "and see if it considers disciplinary action advisable or necessary. Many of the charges were rather than specific and for that reason action is made more difficult.
The coaches, Chancellor Strong and President Dodd will speak.
"I do not know whether the communicant desires to appear before the Council and make more specific charges or not."
The publication of extracts from the letter caused a mild sensation in the student district last night. Several men who made the trip have asked the Kansan directly or indirectly further facts to the communication, particularly inquiring, "if any names were mentioned."
