HERE'S A JAYHAWKER SCHEME FOR ONLY $5
Smaller Assessment Should Do the Work Says Senior Committee
UNIVERSITY PARTIES TO HELP
Will The 1913 Team Be Ever Victorious?
Surplus From Varsity Dances Will Aid in Producing Annual—62 Didn't Vote on Question
Graduates Will Elect
NUMBER 21
The Graduate Club will elect officers at a solemn meeting, where the Chair will preside. In my hand
Since 281 seniors expressed a willingness at the polls Friday to back the Jayhawker to the extent of five dollars, the annual committee, appointed by the senate and approved by the Student, Council, has prepared a plan whereby an annual can be issued with a five-dollar assessment from 400 of the 450 seniors and practiced the rules. The assessment includes a Jayhawker and the expense of a cut.
The plan calls for the appointment of a managing committee from the senior members of the Student Council, and an assistant to the president of the senior class, subject to the approval of the managing committee.
VARSITY SQUAD, 1913. Left to right—Keeling, Strothers, Hammond, Stuewe, Weidlkin, James, Householder, Tudor, Bishop, Burton, C. Wilson, H. Wilson, Bohannon, Reber, Bottomly, Detwiler, Russell, Ferguson, Croft, Greenees, Ross, Martin, Sommers, Smee, Harlan, Parker, S. Wilson, Jackson, Seated Davis, Coach Frank, Manager Hamilton, Croft Mosse, Coach McCarty, Sproull.
Whether or not the plan will be put into operation depends on two factors: whether and whether 400 notes for five dollars can be secured. The Student action requires a second action in meeting Tuesday night, a action is favorable the seniors and graduate students will be solicited to take action and will be made due the first of January.
In the minds of the committee there is no doubt that the scheme they have evolved will pay out. The committee has decided der the tentative plan, all expenses by bonds. The profit from the University is secured by the annual and jackup from the first dance Friday night, each dance will make a profit, on the average, of ten dollars. No less than eight dances will be given during the year.
the financial support the seniors are willing to give is shown by the figures of the election Friday, when each was asked what he would donate, dollar plan, and if not to what extent he would back the publication. Three votes for $10, seventy-seven for $7, eighty-five for $7, $50, eighty-seven for $5, five for $4, one for $3,五十八en for $3, five for $2,75 for $2, and seven for no amount whatever. There were cast, fifty-two not expressing them on the annual question.
The expense of publishing the Jayhawker is five dollars each for the first thousand copies, and only about $200 for subsequent one. Between twelve and fourteen hundred will be published, if the plan goes through. Sources income would come from the cost of the organizations, advertising, and University dances.
The August number of the "Survey" magazine referred in a very complimentary manner to a thesis which had reached its office, written by Walter L. Beauchamp, a student of Dr. A. Hyde, Mr. Beauchamp wrote his thesis last year while taking special work in physiology under Dr. A. Hyde.
SURVEY LIKES THESIS
Magazine Gives Complimen tary Comment to Work of University Man
The complete thesis will be published in a later number of the *Survey* of the sanitary conditions of thirty-six houses in a Lawrence ward. In this study he found that none of the wells in this district were fit for use. These have since been remedied by the city authorities. In addition, he said the "survey" follows;
Talk to Y. M. C. A. of Indian Work
Sunday at 4 p.m. m. Mr. R. D. Hall,
International Y. M. C. A. secretary of
Indian work spoke to men on
his work with the Indians. Miss
Cora Reynolds of the Fine Arts faculty also sang a solo at the meeting.
All University members are invited.
"We look with respect on a thesis that has just come into our hands, an intensive study of a small section of one ward in a Kansas town. It is a large sanitary survey of 36 houses in one of the Lawrence wards, and his study covers every possible feature of life, which could have the physical life of the inhabitants of these houses. Like all such extensive studies it is of interest chiefly to 'Fachleute', but it is recommended that older women be mindful of health and care to students who are contemplating work of this sort."
FINDS A PINEAPPLE
OLDER THAN OREAD
Curator Martin Makes Addition to Scientific Specimens of World.
With a little piece of rotten rock and a small skeleton of a fish, the paleontology department of the University considers itself well repaid for weeks of hard labor in western Kansas this summer.
The fragment of rock represents a new species of flora never before found in Kansas. It is now found in Kansas ages ago and had a fruit shaped like a huge pineapple. Paleontologists have long known that the Kansas is an island of plankton that this petrified piece is the first to be unearthed of this particular species. A native of western Kansas under a palm tree live in Kansas—a picture no artist can paint."
A complete specimen of a small fish, the liphichthepse, was also unaltered to the extent that it believes this to be the most perfect specimen in existence. About a week of patient labor was required to obtain a delicate specimen from its matrix.
The propeller blade of one of the first flying machines in Kansas was found embedded deep in a animal lobe, and the animal lost control executing a 'devil's drop'. Paleontologists would call it the wing bone of a flying bird. The bird had a large body, twenty foot wings, seisser jaws without teeth, and a stomach full of fish. Twenty million years has been the minimum age of these specimens.
The "Observer of Nature" was published once a month by W. Osburn, who styles himself "Sole Editor and Publisher." The primary motive in issuing the paper is that it will interest in all subjects concerning nature, but many items pertaining to the University proper are found. In reading the paper one is reminded of the small high school paper back home. There are of a personal nature, which would be hardly tolerated at present.
In rummaging through old files in his office last Friday Prof. F, H. Billings found a recorder of ancient University events, the "Observer of Nature" a publication by the Natural History Society of 1874.
Assistant Curator of Paleontology, H. T. Martin, and his son Harry Martin are the discoverer of those rare specimens found in the Butte Creek valley in the northern part of Scott and southern part of Logan counties, where they have been collected twenty-five years but valuable specimens are still forthcoming.
Women Athletes to Meet

OLD UNIVERSITY PAMPHLET

The repairs on the tunnels supplying heat to Blake, Fraser, and Snow hall were completed Saturday. Since the opening of school it has been impossible to heat any of the three buildings, due to a lack of material with which make the necessary repairs.
"The senior class of this year contains seven members, being as large as the two previous graduating class combined," the pamphlet states, showing the enormous growth of the University in number since the publication. "The 'Objection' contains the names of Prof. W. C. Stevens and Prof. W. H. Carruth, who were teaching in the University at that time.

"We are going to have such concerts at least once a month by hiring a faculty artist with experience, aided by Universit talent." According to Dean Skilton, Miss Monroe is a singer of considerable promise well liked in Kansas City musical circles.

SENIORS
PROF, CARL A. PREYER.
Before the week is over a plan to put out this year's Jayhawk will be presented to you.
In addition, a man who has directed the publication of the last three Jayhawkers is on the ground ready to help avoid mistakes and give suggestions that should cut down the cost of the book $500.
Just one thing is needed—a little "get-to-ther" on the part of you seniors. The class has the ability and the punch to get out a first-class book, but it will take cooperation to do so.
Let's get together, seniors, forget political differences put out a book creditable to the class and to the University, and above all, pay for it, every cent!

The Weather
KANSAS ROMPED TO EASY VICTORY 55-7
Mosse-Frank Machine Didn't Give Washington A Look-In Saturday
OPPONENTS SCORE ON FLUKE
Ninety Yard Run Followed Fumble Netting Pikeway Collegians Seven Points.
In a game characterized by a complete reversal of form on the part of the Jayhawkers, and excellent work by every member of the home team, Kansas defeated McCook field Saturday afternoon 55 to 7. Our line was invincible, our back field ploughed through the enemy's defense, or skirted their ends for long gains; in fact the content of the Jayhawker roosters the caliber of the 1913 football eleven.
The Pikeway Collegians, outweighed 30 pounds to the man, never had a chance against the powerful and firmly-knit machine of Coach Losee. The team barely succeeded in being encouraged by a sensational 90-yard run by one of their substitutes, the pupils of Coach Edmonds made the Jayhawker eleven, regulars and substitutes, work every minute of the grain. But his opponents—the four words sum up the consensus of opinion on the battle.
Leonard Frank, assistant coach, said after the game that although the team could yet be improved greatly, both on the offense and defense, the entire eleven, were passable, responsible for overwhelming triumph Saturday. "Every man played his position, and no man starred," he said.
The battle was not without its features and during each quarter the large crowd of spectators was kept on its feet part of the time, cheering the players of both teams. The first spectator playing in Greenlees was of the second quarter when Greenlees, on the first down after Pothoff's kickoff to Wilson, raced around right end 55 yards for a touchdown. Another Boulda producer occurred in the third quarter when Bishop Spencer of Lewis' team reached the middle of the field before being downed.
The biggest feature of the game came with but two minutes to play in last quarters, when Washington scored a second string man, recovered a Kansas fanship on his own 10-yard line, and, with Berry running spurred by his own sliding down the sidelines for Washington's lone score. Hard-away kicked a pretty goal, and he had happy, having scored against a far heavier and more experienced eleven.
