CAPTAIN BRAMWELL NOT
SURE ABOUT RETURNING
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. MONDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 15, 1913.
Uncertain as yet whether he will return to lead the Jayhawker football team this fall, Williams Bramwell, captain of this year's eleven, said this noon that he would decide within a day or two.
According to Bramwell, "Bunny" Wilson, last year's star quarter, will be in school.
Fraternity brothers, football men and coaches are all pulling strong for Bramwell's return, believing that with the loss of the Nebraska center the team will be seriously crippled.
CITY WATER IS SAFE. SAYS STATE ANALYST
C. C. Young Issues Statement Vouching For Suspicious Tasting Drink
If the water tastes all furry,
There's no cause why you should
worry;
It's the city Hypo-CHL.
If your liver isn't right,
Try this recipe at night:
The following statement on the condition of the city drinking water was this morning given out by C. C. Young, state water analyst;
Try this recipe at night.
Lawrence city. Hypo-CHL.
"No fear whatever need be entertained as to the city water, but the well water is in a very questionable condition. The city water in the south end of twen is yet a little murky owing to the purification process, but this will be eliminated in a few days. It gives a slightly higher stand there than is desired on account of the bichloride of lime used. This reflects nothing on its purity, however.
"The north end water is clear, the lime there having worm away. In a few days the whole water system becomes so slick that both as to purity and clearness."
A new purifying process whereby hypochloride of lime is thoroughly mixed in with the water as it enters the city mains is responsible for the "new" water. Daily tests are being made to insure its purity.
Owing to the general danger recognized in the use of well water for drinking purposes most of the local boarding houses are either boiling the well water or using distilled water.
STUDENT JANITOR THE LATEST STUDENT GRAF
A new "graft" to help students through school was announced last week by the new Board of Regents in that the present staff of 20 jantrons on the hill is to be cut down to 10, and the remaining work done by students in two-hour relays, at $10 per month each. At this rate 40 students would be aided materially each month to get a degree, and $3600 a year added to student income.
Other schemes to help students through school by giving them employment around state schools are being devised by the Board.
Many applications for the positions have come in since the Board announced the new "graft" but so far the ten unlucky jailers have not been named or the 40 lucky applicants selected.

"Miner" Dingman is back after working in the lead and zinc mines near Joplin. A boulder dropped on one of his feet and laid him up for a short time during the summer.
I am glad to extend to the students of the University a cordial greeting at the beginning of the college year of 1913-14. I hope it may be a year of fine intellectual endeavor, true loyalty to the best interests of the University, and of the highest type of personal conduct and self control. Let us all join together to make the coming year a notable and successful one in all respects.
GREETINGS
FRANK STRONG.
Chancellor.
We welcome you back, former students and members of the faculty, and extend our greetings to those who come among us for the first time. Let us extend to the new members of the faculty and student body the glad hand of fellowship. It is a great place to which you have come—great in tradition, great in the work its former students and founders have done and are doing for mankind, great in its possibilities for the future. To be a year on Mt. Oread is an inspiration that will last throughout life and inspire us onward and upward. Let none of us fail to fully appreciate and grasp our opportunities.
We as members of the Board of Administration are like yourselves—students in the great university of life. We see life in every problem and hope you will make every problem given to you human and thus repay the state for its expenditure.
With your help and with the help of the Daily Kansan we will keep K. U. to the front. Let us get back of every University enterprise with an enthusiasm Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. U!

Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds Hands in Resignation
The resignation of E. F. Crocker, superintendent of grounds and buildings at the University, is at present in the hands of the Chancellor and the Board of Administration of all state schools and so far has neither been accepted or rejected.
Superintendent Crocker yesterday refused to state the reasons why he tendered his resignation, but denied the report that he did so because of the new plan of student jantors, although he is not favorably inclined toward the proposition.
Mr. Crocker has been superintendent here for the past eleven years. Definite action on his resignation is momentarily expected.
CAFETERIA ON MT.
OREAD OCTOBER

A cafeteria with morning lunches, soft drinks and other eatables will be opened on Oread avenue just north of the Pi Phi house about October 1 by Mrs. Libble S. Hays. The building is now under construction.
MODEL LETTER BY A SELF MADE K. U. STUDENT TO THE FOLKS AT HOME
Lawrence, Sept. 15, 1913
Dear Folks:
comes next. I find that the first thing that everybody does when he gets here is to remark about the beauty of the view and the next thing is to subscribe for the University Daily Kausan, a live student paper that tells the University community all about what happened today and what is doped to happen tomorrow. I subscribed and also had your name put on the list so that you may know about the things your promising young son is interested in and what kind of a big educational noise this K. U. institution is.

The new ruling was made to increase chapel attendance and to eliminate the cutting into classes the old arrangement caused.

GETS PH. D. DEGREE
Miss NeuenSchwander o French Department Honored by Yale
The degree of Doctor of Philosophy was conferred upon Miss Elise NeuenSchwander, of the Romance language department, at Yale last June.
Miss NeuenSchwander spent considerable time in Europe and in graduate work in Yale to work up her thesis, which involves the question of whether Rabalabe, Villon and Voehl had any influence on Voltaire.
Her thesis represented a problem never so far traced out and is considered a very original piece of work.
LITTLE CHANCE FOR K. C.
GAME, SAYS CHANCELLOR
"The prospects of returning the Missouri game to Kansas City this year seem pretty small," said Chancellor Frank Strong this morning. "Although the game may sometime go back to Kansas City, never to return to the college campus, I hardly think it will be this year."
The faculty council, taken as a whole, does not favor the idea of returning the game to Kansas City, and although the Board of Regents has the final word in this matter yet it is hardly probable it will return the game to Kansas City in the face of the council's disapproval.
Cost of Board Rising?
Board rising to $4.50 and $5.00 per week is the new "high cost of living" stump University students face this year. However, other club advertises at rates as low as $2.75

Twenty six hundred students in spite of the "recent dry-and-hot spell" is Registrar Geo. O, Foster's prediction about this year's enrollment.
"I am more uncertain about the old fellows than I am about the new crop," said the Registrar this morning. "I have no way of telling how many of my upperclassmen are coming back. I look for a slight increase altogether, though not as much as we would have had if ___" and the Registrar mopped his brow reminiscently.
Registration started off with a rush in the Gym early this morning and will continue tomorrow and Wednesday as belated seniors drop in
