UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 5, 1912.
ONE HUNDRED MEN
GO HOME TO VOTE
Take Advantage of Chancell or Strong's Permit, to Cast First Ballot
MANY K. U. MEN IN RACE
Old Grads and Former Student Seek Almost Every Office up to Governor of State.
Probably one hundred students are finding more pleasure in casting their first ballots at home today for the president of the United States, than they could have found in their classes on the hill. In spite of the state law permitting students to send their votes home, Chancellor Robert H. Cox weighed lowing men voters of the University to go home to vote.
Today the University is strong represented in the political contest throughout the state, with over a hundred K. U. graduates aspiring to positions all the way from county offices to governor of the state. In some cases former students are contending against each other for the same office. Geo. W. Klehege, a former fellow in economics is running for governor on the Socialist ticket.
Considerable support to the suffrage amendment has been given this year by University men and women. Vice-chancellor Carruth, Mrs. Corbin, Chancellor Strong, "Billy" Morgan and other instructors and well known alumni are almost unanimous in support of the amendment.
Students at the University may be expected to show unusual interest in this year's results, and some of them will be on the anxious seat for a day or two to know whether they are going to take their "best" to the big Turkey game and sit in a box, or get ready to run through a knot hole in the fence or sit on the free bleachers on the hill west of McCook field.
In spite of the agitation carried on by the University Wilson club, "Teddy" shows surprising strength in classes on the hill. Various polls among the engineers give Teddy a strong lead over both Taft and Wilson, with scattering votes for Debs and Chaffin. One rhetoric class yesterday gave Teddy 12, Taft 4, Wilson 6, and Debs 4.
Both city papers will throw the results on screens as they come over the wire. Prof. E. C. Stimpson will operate the lantern for the Journal-World, and Malai will show some of the differences in the lantern to the east should come in early on account of the difference in eastern and central time.
The Achoch Sorority entertained the Acacia Fraternity with a six course dinner and progressive whist Friday night.
Mu Phi Epsilon has pledged Olive Laderer and Agnes Uhrlub of the School of Fine Arts.
Dr. F. B. Dains, associate professor in chemistry gives the following as one of the best jokes he has ever heard:
A little girl told her mother about a man who was shoveling ashes into a wagon in front of her house. Just as the man picked up a scoop full of ashes and threw them toward the wagon the horses stepped up a few feet and the ashes were spilled on the ground.
"And mamma, what do you think, that man didn't do a thing but go up to the horses' head and talk about God."
ANOTHER K. U. GRADUATE
MAKES GOOD AS ENGINEER
"Rusty" Russell, '11. Acepts Position of Supt. of City Electric Light and Water Plant
George W. Russell, more commonly and familiarly known as "Rusty" is another graduate of the engineering school who has "made good" in his profession. "Rusty" began to "make good" in school, being active in University affairs his first three years, and in his fourth, was elected president of the engineering school and manager of the annual. He was also the originator of "Engineer's Day," the legal holiday of the Marvinites.
There he has charge of the installation of the only municipally owned central heating plant in Kansas.
"Rusty" was graduated from the mechanical school in 1911 and accepted a position as assistant engineer with the National Military Home at Leavenworth. In the summer of 1912 he resigned this to accept a position as a foreman for the tendered member of the city electric light and water plant at Sabetha, Kansas.
TREAT 1500 PATIENTS
AT K. U. HOSPITAL
Dr. Sudler Reports Kansas i Taking Advantage of New Institution
Fifteen hundred citizens of Kansas received treatment or medical advice during one year closing October 23 from the Bell Memorial hospital at Rosedale conducted by the University of Kansas. Fifty counties sent their patients for free care to the institution, and adult residents received attention without charge, while 338 others paid hospital expenses, obtaining the physician's advice without cost.
Treatment at the University hospital is never given by students and only long tried and well established methods are used. Upon entering the hospital, the patient is examined and immediately referred to the proper department of the hospital staff for treatment. Members of a particular nursing faculty of the School of Medicine and professional care, whether surgical or medical, is given only by them.
"It is an acknowledged fact," says Dr. Sudder "that patients in hospitals where teaching is done receive the best and most careful attention. While patients receiving free care from the staff of the hospital are studied by students and examinations not detrimental to the outcome, the results show that the result is that more careful analyses and closer study are given individual patients than under any other circumstances."
Kansas counties sent 137 patients to the hospital during the year. Wyandotte led with 17; Leavenworth followed with 17; and others took advantage of the system by ordering from one to eight cases to Rosedale. Citizens who need medical aid and feel able to pay part of their expenses are permitted, upon the advice of their physician, to go to the institution for administration merely for the actual hospital expenses. By this method, no patient is accepted without a physician's certificate, thus preventing people able to pay for medical service from obtaining it free.
"In other words, the physicians are protected," explains Dr. Sudler. "This privilege, administered in this manner, has helped many of them to solve difficult problems for them selves and their patients."
Sunday, November 24—Dr. Winfield S., Hall of Northwestern University will address the University Y. M. C. A. on "The Young Man's Problem."
Trinity Church Chapel—Next Sunday evening, Professor Dunlap will give a short address at 7 o'clock to the young people.
Sigma Nu entertained with a dancing party Friday night at Ecke's.

SHE WANTED TO SEE THE JAPANESE PRINCE, PLEASE
"I'd like to see the Japanese prince, please," a young lady student announced this morning to Prof. W. A. Griffith of the Fine Arts department.
"The Japanese prince?" queried Professor Griffith, somewhat amazed with visions of Midados, Yoshikawa, Tokimuros and the rest.
"Yes, the Japanese prince. Where did you keep him? How did you get him? Is he a real prince?" the girl demanded all at once. "How long will he be in this country?"
SUFFRAGE LOSES VOTE OF VICE-GHANCELLOR
The professor's brow was still wrinkled in profound thought. A real live Japanese prince is not an art collector or a university art display in Kansas.
Professor Carruth Leaves Polls Without Casting Ballot For Cause
And then Professor Griffith understood. Turning he led the girl to where on the wall hung a fine collection of Japanese prints.
"They announced at chapel yesterday morning that a Japanese prince would be on exhibition this week at the Fine Arts exhibit, and I wanted to see him" said the young lady.
Prof. W. H. Carruth didn't vote for woman suffrage. To those advocates of the "cause" who have been listening with pleasure to the Vicechancellor's support of the measure this will come as a distinct shock.
Professor Carruth has been an ardent advocate of woman suffrage, and has made a number of logical and convincing arguments in favor of women taking the right to vote. But he did not answer a ballot for the cause today.
But wait—the professor has an excellent alibi. This is the way it happens.
Professor Carruth had to leave on an early train this morning. When the polls opened at eight o'clock he was right there, fully prepared to do his duty. But at the polls there was much confusion. The judges hadn't got straightened out, and they were unable to find the small ballot on which he was to register his judgment concerning equal suffrage. Professor Carruth could tell just how he wanted the ballot marked, but as he is a perfectly capable voter no one else may mark the ballot for him. The professor had to leave for his train. When he was half way down the block the ballots were found, but he was beyond recall.
So woman's suffrage gets one vote less.
FACULTY LADIES TO RECEIVE GIRLS NEXT
PLANNING BIG SMOKER
Coats Says Annual Football Jubilee to be the Best
Ever
Jubilee to be the Best
"We want to make this the biggest and best smoker ever given at the University," declared Pres. C. W. Coats this afternoon. "To do this every student will have to get in and help push it. Letters have been sent out to the different organizations and fraternities requesting them to make plans for putting on a stunt. Besides these there will probably be boxing and wrestling matches. The feed this year will be the best we can get for the money and the least a person can do is to buy a ticket."
Plans are already under way for the annual football smoker which will be held the night of December 11 in Fraternal Aid hall.
The faculty ymesting held yesterday at Blake hall took no definite action on the question of lightening in incidents in language at the University.

There are eighteen University buildings; thirteen of which were erected by the state and five by private gifts.
OREADSWOULD STEALVOTE
FROM THE KANSAS WOMEN
Women's suffrage in Kansas was defeated at the meeting of the Oread Debating society held in Fraser hall Friday night. The committee on bylaws reported encouraging progress. New officers will be elected at the next meeting.
VESPER SERVICES BEGIN
I'm going home to help elect a president today, and now to save my soul I can't decide which man to play. I've read the papers for a year to find the proper man, but reading only fuddled me, I've buggies in my can. I thought at first that William Taft was due to get my vote, but now I find the papers say that Billiam is the goat; The Woodrow Wilson grabbed the flag and made the eagle scream, The Lord of the Rings was having an attack; Theodore charged up the hill and grabbed the bloody rag, and since that time IVE struggled with a dose of brainy rag. I guess the only way to do it is put them in a hat, and shake up and draw the first, and place my vote on that.
Seventy-Five Voices in Chorus of First Sunday Afternoon
Exercises
Vesper services will be held in the chapel room of Fraser hall in the afternoon of the second Sunday of each month for the next five months. The first service will be held Sunday afternoon and Prof. C. E. Hujbach will have a large chorus for the occasion. The December service will be a strictly Christmas service and will consist mainly of Christmas music.
The first rehearsal of the Vesper chorus will be held Thursday evening at 7 o'clock in the Fraser chapel room. The chorus will be a part chorus of 75 voices and Professor Hubach, the director, wishes to see a large number try out at the opening rehearsal.
He declared that a fine opportunity is offered to those interested in vocal music in the way of instruction and practice. Professor Hu-bach can use a large number of men whose voice is balanced, strong soprano and alto sections and he urges that a large number of men try out.
Miss Rachel Coston of Topeka is at the Theta house.

OCTOBER WAS JUST
AN AVERAGE MONTH
Prof. Cady Says no Records Were Broken But That Mean Temperature Was Above Average
"No records were broken for the month of October," says Prof. H. P. Cady of the chemistry department. "This October was not very different from the average month of October. The weather was very pleasant with a mean temperature above the average. There was greater rainfall than usual due to two rather heavy storms. The snowfall on the 31st has been exceeded only twice on October records."
The mean temperature was 59.9, degrees, 1.71 degrees above the average. The rainfall of 3.63 inches exceeded the former record by only 33 inches. The sky was less cloudy than usual. The wind did not have the same velocity as usual notwithstanding that it did not lose any of its water vapor "up" here on the campus. By this report the wind lost 1097 miles or was that far below the average. We had no fogs, or if we did, they were not visible. But one earthquake was reported which was on the 17th.
TRAVEL LIGHT AND SEE A LITTLE WELL
Dr. Bailey Gives Good Advice to Prospective European Travelers
"It is better to travel leisure than luxuriously.
"It is better to see a few thing well than to attempt to see every thing.
"Take a small amount of baggage, and a large stock of patience.
"The transportation of luggage is expensive; the uses of patients are inimical."
These are some of the rules Prof. E. H. S. Bailey laid down in his talk in chapel this morning concerning a trip to Europe from which he has returned. Professor Bailey spent the educational value of a trip to Europe.
"To see and feel the mediaeval castles, to stroll across battle fields where the history and geography of Europe has been made, to see the treasures of painting, sculpture, and architecture, gives a new and correct setting to the history, romance, and literature of the race."
In discussing the people of Europe Professor Bailey dwelt on their habits and customs. He declared that their idea of comfort is far inferior to that of our country, and that their food, their hotels, their manner of living, is far inferior to ours.
"But it is not only the sights that impress you," continued Professor Bailey, "but the sounds are equally attractive. The street cries in all these cities are in themselves a lesson in melody and strange vibran tones. Aside from the sounds that seems to belong to the country, there is much less noise and confusion than there is with us."
"Living is no cheaper over there than here for the same accommodations. There are some countries less frequented, where prices are still low, but they are rapidly coming up to the common level."

Fell When Railing in Bleachers at McCook Broke Saturday.
SOPHOMORE INJURED.
J. D. Berwick, a sophomore engineer from Little River, Kansas, fell from the bleachers and was injured just after the close of the Oklahoma game. Saturday. The crowd surged against the railing which was too frail to withstand the weight. About twenty persons were thrown to the ground, but none were injured seriously.
Berkwick received a sprain in the muscles of the back which had been injured a few days before, while he was attending classes. He was able to attend classes today.
