President Dodd Planning T Further Movement For Meeting Place
CAN RENT HOUSE FOR $760
Furnished by Students Building Would Make School Spirit—Pledges May be Called In Soon
The Student Union, started last spring on the belief that Lee Bryant would build suitable rooms for it during the summer, and punctured when "Lee" failed to do so, has come to life again.
A house on Louisiana street in the 1200 block somewhere is being negotiated for by President Leslie Dodd of the Student Council and plans to that effect are being materialized as rapidly as possible.
as representative. The house can be rented for $760 a year according to members of the committee in charge of the proposition, and after being stocked up with furniture by the Student Union would be the sole property and belonging of the students of the University as long as they cared to continue it.
In case President Dodd's plans go through the $2 pledges signed last spring by hundreds of students to support the Union if the Council provided a suitable building will be immediately called in and collected.
CHAPEL CHANGES ORDER OF UNIVERSITY COURSES
Owing to the new ruling putting chapel twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays at 11 o'clock, and the fact that the schedules of courses were printed before that ruling was passed, advisors have had considerable explaining to do today.

ATHLETIC TICKETS ON SALE--PRICE $5
Combination of 815 Worth of Attractions Offered To Students
"Student Enterprise Tickets, athletic, are on sale at the Gymnasium today and tomorrow and I certainly hope every student attending the University will buy his ticket early and help the Athletic Board that Much." said Manager Hamilton yesterday.
"The tickets will carry admission to forty-one attractions as against forty last year, and although the students, especially the men, stood behind the Board as well as could be expected last year, still, in view of the increased enrollment and the added advantages that the holder of a student enterprise will possess this year, I see no reason why we should not sell a ticket to every man and woman entering the University."
The Board of Administration last year that the purchase of a Student Enterprise Ticket was a voluntary fee that every student should pay in order to prove his allegiance and loyalty to his school, but the fact that it was made a voluntary fee might make the students believe that they did not have to buy a ticket unless they wished to. Strictly speaking, the students are not forced to buy a Student Enterprise ticket at Kansas, as they are in many other schools, but by not buying one, they lose many advantages that they would possess otherwise.
No student will be allowed to play on the University tennis courts unless he is the holder of an athletic ticket. There will be very few, free admissions to University attractions this year.
this year.
Tickets cost $5 as last year, which includes something around $15 worth of admissions.
Four Years
A GIRL WILL TAKE ENGINEERING COURSE And She Doesn't Ask For Favors Either--Wants Four Years
Truly the engineers are turning suffragette. There's a girl engineer this year.
the boy. She stood in line with the other freshmen engineers this morning, waiting for her turn to enroll. Did she look offended when some gallant young engineer didn't get up and give her a place? Did she expect any favors from the coming Sons of Toll?
Last year Miss Marion Manley was the lone girl engineer. In the history of the school there have been a few girls to finish the course, one of whom took shop entire.
She expects to take the full four years' course in architectural engineering combined, of course, with a little work in the School of Fine Arts to neutralize the effects of association with engineers all day.
Her name is Dorothy Florence
