Mens Student Council and Merchants Association help Care For Visitors
Two thousand Kansas undergraduates, vocal pugilists are going to "Black that Tiger's eye," tomorrow morning at ten o'clock in Robinson gymnasium.
"We are expecting a big crowd Friday and intend to have on hand a generous supply of real 'home made' candy," said Marie Marisle, Chairman of the Committee in charge of the W. S. G. A. candy sales, in announcing the candy sale to be held next Friday morning at the old check stand.
HOME MADE CANDY FOR
YOUR SWEET TOO
The W. S. G. A. have planned to hold these candy sales every week for the rest of the school year. The proceeds are to go to help swell the dormitory fund.
The blackish gwil be done with the ful strength of husky lungs, and the reverberations will echo afar, even to a university town in Missouri. And after the optic has been colored to the taste of the K. U. roots, the entire animal will be consumed on a giant pyre in front of Fraser hall.
Information Bureau and Check Stand for Missouri Game Crowd
Miss Alice Noble of Keokuk, Ia,
adn Miss Louse Dillie of Fall City,
Neb., are guests at the Kappa house.
Miss Wheelock of Kansas City will spend the week-end with Beatrice Neumuller, a senior in the College.

The details of the program are in the hands of Cheerleader "Chuck" Dolde, and the program he is making out will tend to arouse every atom of the fighting Kansas spirit. Speeches by some of the "K" men who are back, football heroes of football day, who have won games in the past, will offer encouragement for the winning of this week's game. The oratorical part of the program will be left entirely to the "K" men.
Immediately following the celebration in the gym, the usual funeral pyre will be made and the carcass of the Feline burned. This is according to the time-honored custom and will occur in the usual place, in front of Fraser hall, where a big pile of boxes will be built by the husky Jayhawkers. As soon as the rally is over, the funeral corticle, bearing the corpse will wind its way to the scene of the cremation of Mr. Tiger.
Of course the band will be there in full strength and the steel rafters of Robinson will ring back "The Crime" with the song "Booh," and other Kansas songs.
Kansas men who come to Lawrence for the big game will be well cared for if the Men's Student Council can get in touch with them. The entertainment committee has been working tirelessly to provide accommodations for the visitors, and have just completed a canvass of every available room in Lawrence. These rooms are to be tabulated by the committee and an information bureau will be maintained for the benefit of strangers.
A check stand will be placed at some convenient place so that the elusive umbrella of the graduate may not stray. The information bureau will work in conjunction with the Merchants' Association of Law-Examining Institutions and everything in its power to help care for the crowd that will be here.
"Ask Me" buttons will be assigned to men who are familiar with the town and University. These men will be traveling information bur­eaus for the use of any one who applies for knowledge.
Final arrangements have been made for the monster "Skin Missouri" rally Friday night. Chancellor Frank Strong will open the yelfest with a short talk. Billy Morgan will speak some time during the evening. Some of the old yell kings of previous years will lead the rooting and singing. Moving pictures, and music by several organizations will be a part of the program.
K. U. DAMES HELD MEETING
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
The K. U. Dames, a club of the married women of the University, held their second meeting Wednesday afternoon, November 20, at the home of Mrs. A. J. McAllister, 615 West Warren street.
University students and faculty are warned against the use of the water from drinking fountains and laboratory water cocks until notice from the University Health Committee is issued that such water is fit for drinking purposes.
Linn County Students to Organize Students from Linn county will meet at the home of Dr. Alberta L Corbin, 1108 Ohio, Saturday evening of this week to organize a county club.
Plans for the ensuing year were laid before the meeting by the committee on officers and general programs, which includes the study of the life of Shakespeare, his works and the history of his age.
Chancellor.
There are no dues, or formal invitations and the wives of all students or former students are welcome in the club.
Patronesses of the club are Mrs. U. G. Mitchell, Mrs. H. O. Kruse, Mrs. H. P. Hungerford, and Mrs. N. B. Sherwood.
FRANK STRONG,
The city water supply is very low. No bonfire should be stated immediately in a large space where there would accumulate in danger.
On account of the failure of the Lawrence Water Company to furnish sufficient pressure for its water mains, it was found necessary this morning to use the University system water from Potter Lake.
The red lanterns which are placed where public improvements are being made are placed there as danger signals, and should not be removed.

For George Fitch is the man who invented the magazine motor-boat, that breaks down in paragraph three, and rests becaused during the rest of the story. Also, Siwash College hangs heavy, heavy over his head.
Students in the department of Journalsism and other mountain citizens, whose funnybone George Fitch has tickled from afar, will sit in Room 110 to address it at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon and listen to the man who caused the disturbance.
"George Fitch is exactly like all other great humorists in that he is decidedly different," deefares Gillian. "He has transcended the sheep brand of courage by refraining from making himself a carbon copy of others."
Strickland W. Gillian, in the las "Editor and Publisher," has many里ry stories about him.
"George Fitch is a new humorist newer far to the reading world in general than to the fortune that have choriingly watched him grow, and have known for years that the world had something good coming to it.
"Years ago, after he had finished at Knox (see "At Good Old Swish," he) went through the usual literary green sweats. He worked on newspapers at an advertising agency and that no obstacle has been able to stay two rounds in the ring with him."
Even The Girls'll Yell
The truth of this can be found out at the K. U.-M. U. game. Leila Nevin has called a meeting of all the girls at the gym, at 4:30 this afternoon for the purpose of organizing them for yells and stunts.
A recent communication in the Daily: Kansan maintained that the K. U. girls lacked spirit and enthusiasm toward the school activities.
VARISITY ZOO GETS JUST
10 TRAINED RICE WEEVILS
The University managerie has grown
Prof. H. Louis Jackson has a troupe of forty trained weevils whose duty it is to eat the kernel out of two or three hundred grains of rice which is packed about them. These weevils are small beetles that have a long snout which they use to feed on insects and other invertebrated head which is usually curved downward to form a kind of a snout bearing the laws at the tip.
"The purpose of this experiment is to test the outer coating of the rice grains," said Professor Jackson, "and to find whether this coating is pure or if it is covered with glucose and tale as much of the commercial product is. This experiment will take some time for the weevils will have to have time to digest these rice grains."
W. Y. Morgan of Hutchinson, and James Challis of Atchison who will speak at the rally Friday night, will be guests at the Phi Gam house for the week end.
HOT, YES HOT TIME DUE AT NIGHT RALLY
Big, No Not Big, Gigantic, Meeting Scheduled for Tomorrow at Seven
ALSO PYROTECHNICS SUPERB
Speaking and Oratory Included in Brilliant Program—Just a Little Noise.
Fireworks, music, speeches, cheers, more speeches, and worlds and worlds of pep and enthusiasm will feature the big, no, not big, gigantic, rally to be held in Robinson gymnasium tomorrow night at seven.
The doors of the gymnasium will be opened at 6:30 and the rally will start promptly at the stroke of seven. Before the meeting a grand pyrotechnic display will be shot off from the top of Fraser hall, concluding in time to allow all to reach the rally.
Chancellor Strong will give the address of welcome, and following his speech, the students, led by Cheerleader Dolde, will vent their enthusiasm, and the band will play.
Alumni to Orate Some.
An alumnus will then speak, and after this former cheer leaders will demonstrate how it was done in the ancient days. The next number will be by the University Glee club.
Mrs. G. Barker and W. Y. Morgan, of the alumni, will make talks. Pictures of the Oklahoma game, furnished by the Oread Theater will be shown. The program will culminate, with "The Crimson and Blue."
It is possible that George Fitch, creator of Siwish College, whose wife a K. U. alumnus, will be present and speak. Maybe.
The lights on the campus will be decorated in the crimson and blue, and the searchlights and fireworks on the campus will add illumination to the scene.
Members of the Men's and Women's Student Councils will act as ushers and seat the crowd rapidly.
Ushers Will Ush.
"We want to make this the biggest rally ever held on the hill," said President C. M. Coats of the Men's Student Council, who has charge of the arrangements, this morning.
"We will start promptly at seven and the rally will be over at nine o'clock, so that every one can come. The girls should make their dates for the rally from eight at the gymnasium, and thus save time and reach the rally on time. We want every one to come out and show the visiting alumni that the old Kansas spirit is still here."
Phi Beta Phi held initiation for Pearl Cox, a junior in the College, Monday evening.
AND NOW, TO CAP IT ALL,
SWEDE'S LOST HIS GRIP
Swede Carlson lost his grip for the first time in his life on the Lincoln trip. Now the men who know Swede will gasp. It is awful news, is it not? Think of it! A man who has honored his school and himself by elevating the game of football to an exact science, losing his grip.
But it is true, sad as it is to relate. Swede says so himself. That is what makes it so bad. Now if he stoutly maintained that he had not lost his grip, it would not be half so worse. But as it is—well old grades sigh. They used to watch him in a field with a man hanging to each portion of his frame, and Swede's frame is divided into many portions, too. But they could not pull him down. He looked like a big grizzly
bear with eleven fleas attached to his anatomy.
No. They never thought they should live to hear that Swede had lost his grip. Why, when he was on the team he used to be noted for his ability to hang on to things. Of all the mucilagous adhesives of the Universe, Swede was most sticky. The adheses on any and all occasion were also third down. People always admired that quality more than any other.
When the bunch climbed off the Lincoln special at Lawrence last Sunday morning, some student grabbed Swede's grip by mistake, and Swede would appreciate the courtesy if some one would tote the grip to the Daily Kansan office and receive reward in Heaven.
