TUNE UP YOUR LUNGS FOR BIG MASS MEETING
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 30, 1912.
Monster "Revenge" Yell Fest to be Held Friday Night in Chapel
ROOTERS AFTER OKLAHOMA
Band Will Play and Speakers Will Speak—Get Into the Procession and Show Kansas Spirit.
A monster "Revenge" Mass Meeting will be held at the chapel Friday night to perfect plans for rooting for the Oklahoma game Saturday. Several speakers are being arranged for. Prof. Merle Thorpe and Prof. H. A. Rice will speak. Several new stunts are being planned, among which will be stereotypic views of the Jayhawk players, coaches and other football men. The University band will furnish the music.
The Glee Club probably will sing the songs that have been entered in the prize song contest. It is proposed that the students hear the songs and then vote on the ones to receive prizes. The committee appointed to decide upon the songs is used by Missouri last year to decide with song would be chosen for the state song.
All the plans for the meeting have not been perfected as yet, but a big attendance is assured, judging from the spirit the Thundering Thousand showed at the Aggie game. There will be a mass meeting before the Washburn game and also before the Missouri game.
In speaking of the mass meetings to be held in the future, cheerleader Dolde said, "we are going to have the biggest crowd here for the Kansas-Missouri game ever seen in Lawrence. The students do not realize the magnitude of the crowd to be here and it is up to us to give the old grads that come back from a!" the corners of the United States, a sample of what the Kansas Spirit is. We are going to win or die."
W. D. ROSS, FORMER GRAD VISITS THE UNIVERSITY
W. D. Ross, K. U. graduate in the College in the class of 1893, and now Republican candidate for State Superintendent of Public Instruction, was on the hill yesterday visiting old friends. During his student days, Mr. Ross was unusually active in student affairs and was one of the honor men of his class. Since graduation he has been closely identified with the educational interests of the state, as principal, County Superintendant and City Superintendent of schools and Conductor of Normals. For the past three years he has been in charge of one of the departments in the State Superintendent's office. His training, experience and ability specially fit him for the office of State Superintendent. Mr. Ross is a Presbyterian, he is married and his home is in Jefferson county.
Mr. H. C. Simpson has returned to his home in Kansas City after a short visit with his son, Henry, at the Kappa Sig house.
You have not been sleeping well?
Your health is not the best?
Numerous requests for seat reservations for the U. S. Marine Band concert in Robinson gymnasium Saturday are daily being received by Prof. D. C. Croissant, who has charge of the concert, from Baldwin, Ottawa, and other towns in this portion of the state.
LOOK TOWARD NORTH POLE FOR A NICE SOUND SLEEP
"There can be no doubt that electrical stimulation of the nerve fibers rests them and produces sound sleep," declares Professor D. C. Rogers of the Psychology department. "Scientific experiments carried on at Columbia University have verified the old theory that sleeping with the head toward the north is beneficial."
MARINE BAND TO DRAW
WELL FROM OUT OF TOWN
Then turn the bed around until the head points north and the feet south. Do this and you will arise with rested nerves and an invigorated body.
The professors of the University have agreed to disagree. The soundness of the theory that people who sleep with their heads pointing toward the North Magnetic Pole and their feet toward the south is in dispute.
Baldwin, Ottawa and Other Towns Have Written to Prof. D. C. Croissant for Seat Reservations
"We are sorry to disappoint these people," said Professor Croissant this morning, "but no seats will be reserved. This band is the nation's band, and we intend to make its concert here a democratic affair. For that reason the admission has been fixed at only fifty cents and all will be admitted on terms of equality at the concert." The band's concerts are reserved and much higher prices charged, but we wished to give every student of the University the opportunity of hearing the concert at a low cost.
The profits received from this concert will be used by the W. S. G. A. toward the erection of the woman's building for the University. The girls are making an active canvassing effort to have Robinson gymnasium filled when the band begins its concert at ten o'clock Saturday morning.
A NEW TRICK IN FOOTBALL CIRCLES
"From present indications a large crowd will listen to the concert. Out-of-town people realize the fact that this is a great opportunity to hear one of the best bands in the world and a considerable number will come to Lawrence for the occasion."
Man in Citizen's Clothes Makes Long Run in Rose Poly-Vanderblift Game Last Saturday.
Kansas might try something on Nebraska when they hook up against each other in the annual struggle on November 16th. The trick would probably gain a touchdown any way. A brand new play was pulled off at the opening of the Rose Poly Vanderbilt football game at Nashville, Tenn., last Saturday. Following the kickoff, Rose lined up hurriedly, then shot a long pass toward the side lines to a man in citizen's clothes. He ran forty yards and was washed off with safety. To the astonishment of all, he then took off his hat, coat, trousers, and shirt and was found wearing a regular football uniform beneath. Vanderbilt players had not noticed that only ten Rose men had lined up in regular positions.
K. U. Grad For Attorney General
C. B. Little of Olathe, Kansas,
who is the Democratic candidate for
Attorney General of Kansas, is a
graduate of the Kansas University
Law School 1898 and has practised
law in Olathe since then. His brother,
John T. Little, Jr., is a graduate of
the Engineering school in the
class of 1902 and is now located
Spokane, Washington, where he is
engaged in the hardware business.
New Society Being Organized.
New Society Being Organized.
Another society is about to join the list of organizations at the University. It has been rumored that an inter-class club is being organized here. No one but the instigators, however, know of the nature of the society.
NUMBER 33.
In no other way will sleep be so sound and so refreshing.
"Absolutely nothing in it," declares Professor Rice of the Physics department. "It is impossible to isolate the condition, the experiments are worthless. Besides sleeping in a bed or even in a blanket on the ground would insulate the body so that it would not be affected by such sleeve currents as may be present in the ground."
The medical professors are equally dissimilic: "People careful enough to think of such things are also careless with experiments with them prove nothing."
But do not feel discouraged. The sciences have much in common, although they do disagree on some subjects. If you have not been sleeping well, turn your head to the north and give Psychology the advantage of the doubt.
WE'LL ALL BE IZAAK WALTONS
No longer will the price of pork cause pappa dear to gray, and run his fingers through his hair when meat men come for pay, for Mr. Dyche has brought the robbing butchers down to terms, and out at Pratt he's got a vat for raising sardine germs. Soon every farmer in the state will have a pond of fish, and every stude when he goes home, will have to take a dish and beat it out into the wet marsh, and fume, and sweat, until he is able to get a mess of fish for meat; the club at my home, is full of halibut and all, and the all dishes in the mornings round about. I say why not dam up the Kaw, and go into the thing as if we meant to make it go until the mackerels sing. Appoint one day from out each week, and all go down and fish, and give the best grade to the one who gets the largest dish.
YOU NEED NOT HAVE A FANCY COSTUME
Ponce.
Dress Suits Not a Requirement for Dress at Mask
Fancy costumes are not the requirement for admission to the first annual masquerade ball to be held Thursday evening in Robinson Gymnasium, according to Charles Coats, president of the Men's Student Council.
Ball
"Dress suits and white collars are absolutely barred," said Coats. "If you have a fancy costume, all o. K., but an old pair of overalls will answer the purpose just as well. The girls may hunt up an old "mother-hubbard." You can also object to the affair and all should come with the intention of forgetting trouble.
Tickets are selling rapidly and it is expected that between one hundred and fifty and two hundred couples will attend the ball.
"Each person must provide himself with a mask. Just a ten center is all that is necessary. Changes may be made in the plans so that masks will be used during a large part of the evening."
"Tickets will be ready for distribution by Nov. 4 and I advise all students who expect to do so to reserve their seats before that time. The results of our advertising campaign will be to pour in next week and the chance is getting one of the best seats will be almost out of the question."
"We have just commenced the advertising for the Missouri-Kansas football game," stated Manager Hamilton this morning, "and have started out 1600 circulars to alumni and many orders from out of town having in early but I look for the big cash in about a week."

Manager Hamilton Starts Advertis ing Campaign For Tickets To Missouri Game.
"More than 600 reserve seats have been sold to owners of student enterprise tickets already and by the end of the week I expect to have sold results to a thousand, at least, out of the 1300 owners of these tickets."
TO ENTERTAIN PARENTS WITH MAY FETE
Y.W.C.A.May Act Favorably on Plan of Amusement for Mothers and Fathers
Father and mother may get a special invitation to the May Fete this spring. They may be invited to Lawrence on Parents' Day and the feature of their entertainment may be the big annual spring festivities. Many parents travel far each year to see the May Fete, but many more could be induced to come if Parents' Day were combined with the festivities.
"The May Fete is K. U.'s biggest spring event, and I think parents would enjoy it more than anything else on our calendar," said Claribel L. Lupton, president of the Women's Student Government Association when asked last night.
"The Y. W. C. A. will consider the matter at its next business meeting." Mary Reding, president. "We may be able to act favorably o. the plan."
The festivities will be in the hands of the Y. W. C. A. this year and will be termed, the May Fete, instead of Kirmess as last year.
THIS "K" BUSINESS
IS GETTING SERIOUS
"That the wearing of the "K" letters, by women of the university, unless they are engaged to the men, cheapens the value of the letters," the statement of Professor H. A. Rice of the athletic board, this morning.
This wearing of the letters by the women is greatly due to the thoughtlessness of the men," said W. O. Hamilton, Manager of athletics this morning. "The letters plays much the same part as the fraternity pin. It is the symbol of the university that is conferred only as an honor. Fraternities have come, by custom, to allow their pins to be worn only by a sister, mother, or a wife to be of its owner. This idea follows very closely with that of the letter. Besides it makes the girl appear as a university athlete."

STUDENTS MAY GO HOME TO VOTI
Arrangements Must Be Made With Professors for Time From Classes
"All students who live outside of the city and wish to vote Tuesday, will be allowed to take such time as is necessary from their classes" says Chancellor Strong. It will be necessary for the students to make arrangements with their teachers beforehand, however, in order that they may be excused. The announcement follows:
"All students of voting age who are eligible to vote and living outside of the city, are at liberty to take such time as is necessary to vote and will be excused from work and will purpose. They should, however, see instructors beforehand and notify them as to the reason for their absence.
"Frank Strong,

THERE'S GOING TO BE ONE GREAT BIG TIME
At the K.U.- M.U. Game Rally on Friday November 22
MEN'S COUNCIL IN CHARGE
A Vaudeville Show, Band Concert,
and General Good Time in
Store for Alumni.
A genuine rally is being planned by the Muni's Student Council for the benefit of alumni who will be here for the Kansas-Missouri game. The rally will be held Friday evening, November 22, at 7 o'clock in Robinson gymnasium.
The Student Council, Manager Hamilton, and the county clubs will make a special effort to have the event here in time for the entertainment.
"The entertainment will last two hours," said President Coats this morning, "and all clubs and fraternities are asked not to begin their parties before 9:30."
The dramatic clubs of the University, the band, and the Glee club will assist in entertaining the visitors. There will be speeches by prominent alumni, such as W. Y. Morgan of Hutchinson. Moving pictures of the Kansas-Aggie game and the Kansas-Santa Clara contest will be staged. Songs that will be used at the game the next day will be practiced.
The student district will be canvassed and all available rooms will be secured for the visitors. The Merchants' Association of Lawrence is to aid the Student Council in its plans by locating rooms outside of the student district. There will be an alumni headquarters down town where alumni will register and be assigned rooms.
One thousand "Ask Me" buttons have been ordered by the council. Everyone who is willing to be on hand to assist visitors is asked to wear one of these buttons.

SORORITY GIRLS TELL OF THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS
"Sugar is sweeet.
Roses are red;
My love for you
Is not yet dead."
And then you know the language of flowers, don't you? We didn't, but called up a prominent sorcery house on the hill I found that the violet represented "truth love," the red rose jealousy, the white rose a bad "case," the iliac a stroll on the campus, the forget-me-not that needed no explanation, they said, probably thinking of that box of candy we promised or the show that's coming to town next week.
We successfully intercepted Haley's comet the night our class graduated as telling that a great class of intellects had just blossomed out into the frosty world. We take a shot at the runtime little ground-hop once a moment of hilarity or in a flushed face, and we would not hesitate to say exactly who is going to be elected this fall. But we have found one thing we can't solve, VIZ.: the purpose, meaning, and economic significance of these
and economic significance of these
bows the girls are wearing on their
heads this fall.
It's all you can see. Come into the class room, and a waving array of dry goods ribbon is seen projecting into the air, beneath which, on close examination, you may discover the girl you took to the dance last night. Colors? Like the rainbow; like the blushing amethyst; limpid, flaring, blaring, and delicate mauve; some of charmeuse silk, if we can't pronounce it. Like the riot of colors in a poppy field, every class on the hill 'is one varied splash of color. Those bows are sure "fast color."
Another peculiar thing—the bowes are set at three distinct angles. One set of girls wears its bows straight in the air like the ears of a Kansas jackrabbit looking at a passing motor car. Another set is distinguished by wearing the bows out horizontally similar to the semaphore system on the Ottawa branch; while those who use the moderate medium compromise with angles like those in the "V" that father hasn't sent us yet. We expect a new angle at any moment.
Anyone venturing to solve this problem will please phone K. U. 25.
