LAW SCHOOL FAILS TO CONFER DEGREE
Green Hall Students Forgot To Boost Mercury Many Notches
ROY DAVIS WANTS A KANSAN
Other Alumni Think Existence I Worthless Without News From Mount Oread
The subscription box of the Daily Kansan which was placed in the School of Law yesterday was not flooded with names of new subscribers; in fact, the permanent box by which they bought better business. Today the special box is in the School of Medicine and tomorrow will be taken to the School of Pharmacy. Friday the 14th the Chemistry building will be given a chance to deposit their names in the mercury boosting receptacle.
The subscription man was unable to say why the law students did not explain that he proposed the proposition was not explained fully, he suggested. "I find that many of the students believe that their $2.50 must be paid for my subscription is not true. Anyone can deposit his name and he will be put on the list immediately while payment is made before the first of November."
A. L. Frank, living at 905 Ohio street dropped his name and address with a check for $2.50 in the thermometer box yesterday. This is the address of his room in one of the two boxes. Heretofore only names of subscribers have been placed there and those who wish to pay in advance have made a personal trip to the Daily Kansan of Oklahoma to see a building, or have seen a solicitor.
The mercury in the big thermometer has gone a fourth of the way to the 1000 mark. It stands at 259 today.

"Why in the name of Moses aren't you sending me the Daily Kansan? It is true that I haven't asked you but that you have answered the questions of life for a recent K. U. grad two thousand miles from home. It is also true that you couldn't know I was two thousand miles away or, if so, in what direction, but with the Kansan's universal thirst we ought to be a way to figure that out. Anyway won't you put me on your subscription list?"
G. A. Williams writes from Buffalo, N. Y.: "Please put me down for a year's subscription to the Kansan; if possible I would like to have you send me all the issues of this year up to date."
G. C. Armstrong, at Gary, Ind., doesn't want to miss a copy and notifies the Kansan of a change of address for the better. You back home today and find great pleasure in looking them over for I see in them the names of my

The new Oread is to have a three

twelve inches, printed on India
paper. The cover is designed after

"As usual there will be four numbers of the Oread, this year's issue is one of them. In the literary side of the publication, 'But the unusual part about this year's magazine is the abrupt change in editorial policy to prescribe the students and alumni of the University with something that has a distinct University flavor.' And with plenty of the registration humor both in print and cartoon."
The first number will be dedicated to "Heroes and Hero Worship" and will be held by the closing foot-ball season. The second issue will be the "Literati." The third, the scandal number, will be the girl's issue, and the fourth, the teen's issue, has been nothing like it published since that 'Awful number of Life.'

A SHOWDOWN ON UNIVERSITY LIBEL
The suspension this morning by Chancellor Strong of two University students, correspondents for outside papers, for sending out a story, which reflects on the University, gives the University an opportunity to clear itself of suspicions aroused in the past by similar stories.
In the words of Chancellor Strong, "The time has come for us to show our students how we have labeled over the status by storing, reflecting on his student life."
The suspended students will be given a chance to appear before the Board of Administration and prove their story. If they can do so, no one will be gladden than the University authorities; the cause for such stories can then be removed, and will be
WANT FRESHMAN CAPS
If the story is not proved, the University has suffered unjustly at the hands of two of its own students, and no punishment meted out to them by University authorities can make up for the injury done their Alma Mater.
Student Council Trying To Uphold Tradition—Decision This Week
The Men's Student Council at a meeting last night appointed a committee of three to confer with the University Council regarding the wearing of freshman caps. The Council concludes that, the terms, says they shall not be worn, and the Student Council says they shall.

DO WE WANT THE GAME IN KANSAS CITY?
Mr. Moservey says his committee has always thought that the great body of students at Kansas and Columbia was anxious to have the game played in Kansas City.
The attention of University students is called to a communication on the editorial page today from Mr. Elvin C. Meservey, former president of the University of Kansas Alumni Association, who has been in close touch with the Kansas City end of getting the Missouri Kansas football game back to Kansas City.
The Daily Kansan is sincere in saying that it does not know whether students here want the game back in Kansas City, and would like to know. It believes, from what Mr. Necervey says, that an expression of student opinion on the matter would carry great weight when the matter is given a final hearing.
What is the voice of student opinion on this question?

SUSPENDS STUDENTS FOR WRITING STORY LIBELING UNIVERSITY
"Tango Club" In This Morning's "Capital" Stirs Chancellor Strong
MUST PROVE STORY TRUE
Local Correspondents Must Answer to Board of Administration and Explain Damaging Report.
E. W. Wingart, and Leon Howe, specials in the College, were suspended from the University this morning by Chancellor Strong for sending out an article which appeared in the Topeka Daily Capital this morning stating that two University students were planning to organize weekly "tange" dance parties. All four of these societies deny the story.
"These boys have been suspended pending action by the Board of Administration or until they can prove their innocence," said the Chancellor said this morning. "In the face of emphatic denials by all the societies mentioned it seems that the report is untrue. If so, the facts are such as they require such misrepresentations. If the facts are such as they were stated in the newspaper the boys will be remanded in school and the organization will personally deal with by this institution."
The article which was printed this morning states that the Phi Beta fraternity will marry fraternities with the Kappa Kappa Gamma and Pi Beta Pi sororites had engaged a teacher from Toledo to do it Friday afternoon 'tango parties.
All four of the organizations say this morning that the story is false. They have been in Lawrence this week trying to organize a "tango" club, but so far they have _been unsuccessful_. The organizations did cluding those mentioned, but not succeed in getting pupils, according to statements from the organizations. Six members from the fraternity Chancellor's office this morning to deny the story.
Mrs. Ecke, manager of Ecke's hall, said this morning that two Topeka women had spoken to her about renting their hall and said she was dancing among the Lawrence business people. "They mentioned the names of more than a half dozen of the most respectable Lawrence people," she said. "but they didn't say anything about University students and I don't believe that an effort was made to get them interested. They returned to Topeka without making arrangements for renting the hall."
"Tango dances are objectionable from the standpoint of the University,ANCELLO Stratton says, because we will need anything of the sort from appearing at school. Other stories of this so have been sent out from Lawrence University, but they are solutely without foundation, but the University gets blamed by the people of first time just the same skill is able to get my finger on the source of such news, and these boys must prove their statements to be cor-
The Chancellor has written the Belfast University action the action he has taken in the matter and a special session of the may be held in the near future.

The "tango" party is the latest innovation into dancing circles at the University of Kansas. It beamer that two fraternities and two sororities of the school had formed a club, which will be taught the latest twists, turns and dips known to the university's dance majors; professional dancers from Topeka have been engaged to come to Lawrence every Friday afternoon to conduct these "tango" parties and teach the members the "fish walk," where they will dance, which have spread into the west from the effete east.
This action on the part of the two fraternities, Phi Gamma Delta, and Theta Gamma, involves the fraternities, Kappa Kappa Gamma and Pi Beta Phi, follows close upon the warning given by Chancellor Strong against extreme modes of dress and prostitution.
