WOMEN START GLEE CLUB ALL THEIR OWN
NUMBER 43.
Under Direction of Professo Hubach, Girls Will Organize Saturday
TO CAROL THROUGHOUT STATE
University of Kansas Owns Enough Material to Develop Prize Chorus of Troubadines, Experts Declare
- Professor Hubach late this
* afternoon issued a call for a
* tryout for the women's glee
* club to be held Saturday
* morning at 11:30 in room 2,
* North College. All women
* who desire to join are urged
* to be present at the meeting.
- * * * * * * * Prof. Edward C. Hubach believes that K. U. should organize a Women's Glee club at once.
"It is up to the girls," declared Professor Hubach this afternoon. "If they want it we will have the tryouts and organize at once. There is no reason why such a club should not take a trip throughout the state and advertise the University as does the men's glee club. I am sure the University council will grant them permission.
"We have abundant material here and should have the best club in the country. Most all of the smaller colleges in the state have women's glee clubs, and they are highly successful. I think a club will be organized at once."
"The girls want the glee club and they will organize at once," said Pauline Murry, a senior Fine Arts student, "Fairmount College, Wichita, and Winfield College have girls' glee clubs and we have more material than they. I think there will be much competition for the membership of the club."

Professor Ashton Solves Intricate Problems for Tax Commissioner
Even the department of mathematics occasionally finds it possible to assist the state government.
At the request of the state tax commissioner, Charles H. Ashton, professor of mathematics at the University of Kansas, has derived a new formula for computing the present value of annuities.
"It is not difficult to figure the present value of an annuity when one, two, or even three persons are involved, but in this case there were five heirs and the commissioner could find no formula for computing the value of the annuity," declared Professor Ashton.
"Kansas has an inheritance tax and the problem came up in an attempt to collect the tax on the annuities. The text books gave formulas for one, two, and three persons, but the formulas for a larger number of heirs had not been developed
"I was able to save the state the $25 or $50 which the commissioner would have had to pay for the form. I had I not been able to compute it."
It is not often that the mathematics department is able to serve the state. But when a knowledge of higher mathematics is required the professors are glad to furnish the information needed.

RAIN COULDN'T STOP THE JAYHAWKERS
Last Night's Practice One of Most Spirited in Weeks
THE LINE STILL A MYSTERY
Coaches Continue to Shift The Men
—Hatch Out Again Last Night
for Practice.
J. Pluvis, backed by a cold northern wind came out to hinder the Jayhawkers in their practice last night but his worst efforts were of no avail. Practice was held as per schedule and the Kansas warriors went through a stiff scrimmage against the Bond hopefuls in a cold drizzling rain.
If anything the Kansas team showed up slightly better in practice. Practically the same squad of freshmen were out as the preceding night and all of them put up a stiffer defense than before.
On the offense the Varsity backs ripped big holes in the lines and were able to make big gains. Both Coolidge and Parker appear so be the probable starters of the game in the backfield.
The line, however, still remains a mystery. Bramwell was shifted back to tackle again and his position turned over to Hatcher, who picked up the game on account of his injuries received in the Drake game.
Milton was used again on the opposite end from that occupied by Captain Brownlee. Milton showed up unusually well against the freshmen and may prove to be the logical man for this position. In addition to being a sure tackler, he is pretty beefy. Weldine as usual played in the Position and only Chinook Conches to the Position and Frank have a man who can be counted on to break up many of the Cornhusker plays.
The booting problem is still unsolved. No man has arisen to fill this position. Bramwell was given a try out but did not prove satisfactory enough to warrant a change. Maybe some man may be developed in the next two years, but it looks that the task of making will be left in Burkham's hands.
The defense did not show up so strong as usual and Bottomly and Russell went through for long gains. The freshmen used some of the Nebraska plays and the Varsity did not entirely solve them. Both ends played a good game and most of the end runs were stopped with no gain.
HOMECOMING RALLY TO BE BIG EVENT
Students and Alumni to Gather in Fraser Hall
Nov. 22
The night before the Missouri game the roof of Fraser hall will be a blaze of fireworks, and in the chapel below, the Thundering Thousand will unite for the last time during the season of 1912, in the Homecoming Rally, November 22. The Men's Student Council has arranged for the band to play, the glee club, and speeches by old alumni.
Several new features will be introduced at the meeting. Moving pictures will be shown of several football games. A historical sketch of the Jayhawk squad of former years is being planned, the pictures of the team for each year being thrown upon the screen. The meeting will be held from 7 to 9 o'clock.
"Billy" Morgan, "85 will speak, along with several other alumni. Invitations to speak have been extended. Charles Scott and W. H. H. Platt,

HOCKEY JOINS RANKS OF CAMPUS SPORTS
Women Adopt Scientifi
Shinny and Start Practice
for Spring Matches
Field hockey is the latest sport to be taken up by the Women's Athletic Association and it bids fair to be the most popular as well.
Under the direction of Miss Mollie Carroll, who played hockey at the University of Chicago—and won a "C" incidentally—the girls are practicing a week and are showing a good deal of enthusiasm. Miss Carroll says they are learning rapidly up a pretty good game before long, provided the weather allows them to practice.
The girls expect to play match games in the spring. During the winter, or whenever the field is in poor shape, they will play ring tockey in the gymnasium.
KANSAS ROOTERS GOING TO OLD NEBRASKI
Kansas is one of the first western universities to take up hockey for girls. The game is new everywhere in this country, having been introduced only a year or two ago by Miss Constance Appleby, the English hockey expert. Since that time it has been tapped up at Radfiled, Baird, Bryaw, Chicago, and the University of Washington, receiving everywhere the same favor it met with at the hands of the K. U. girls.

ADAM WENT HUNTING AND KANSAS GOT THE BUFFALO
Have you sent your name in for the list of loyal Kansans who are going to make the trip to Nebraska Friday? If you haven't get busy. Now is the time. The following are going to help the Jayhawkers defeat the crowing Nebraskans:
Did Adam shoot that buffalo in the Museum?
For many years the sightseers have viewed the skeleton of the monstrous buffalo in the large glass case on the top floor of the Museum, and have seen the arrow head that was discovered under the shoulder blade of the skeleton when it was dug up. But no one has been able to figure out just who had a hand in the shootency.

"See that faint 'A' on the arrow head," he pointed out. "That is Adam's initial which he carved on the arrow head before shooting the animal.
"It has been thought that our great ancestor was the person who shot the beasts because both his skeleton and this one were deposited on the Pleistocene age (this is Latin and Greek for long time ago)."
We looked closely, and sure enough, there, chiselled in faint lines was that letter "A."

R. L. Hutchinson, Former Student, Says Revolutions Really Help
WARS PROVE GOOD AD FOR OLD MEXICO
That the insurrection in Mexico did Mexico no harm but only served to advertise it, is the opinion of R. W. Hutchinson, a K. U. student in 1891-2, who is here visiting his old friends for a day or so.
Mr. Hutchinson went to Mexico for his health. He was paralyzed and was given three weeks to live but after reaching Mexico he completely recovered. He has been in Mexico since he is and is interested in the land business.
"The insurrection in Mexico has been greatly exaggerated in the newspapers of the United States by the land men of Texas," said Mr. Hutchinson. "They have land to sell and to keep the people from going to Mexico and buying land they have caused this scare.
"From the newspaper reports here people think that there is much slaughtering and violence and that Madero is a cold blooded revolutionist but to one who lives in Mexico it is quite the reverse.
"The American citizens in Mexico were not in much danger and people did not move out as the newspapers here say. Madero is a good hearted business man. He attended Leland Stanford University and speaks English fluently. Tampaion hardly knew that there was an insurrection. Business went on just the same and improvements were made as paving streets and the constitution of buildings."
Mexico has a great future, in Mr. Hutchinson's opinion, and is not a worthless country as it has been pictured. Tampico is in the center of the greatest oil fields of the world, the Pearson & Son well alone producing 104,000 barrels daily. It is a good agricultural country too, and has fifteen American colonies for agriculture around Tampico. In mining Mexico is one of the foremost also, as there are a number of lead, copper and silver mines and a few gold mines.
