UNIVERSITY COUNCIL
MAY ALLOW RALLY
At This Afternoon's Meeting Will Decide Question For or Against Students
CHANCELLOR FOR STUDENTS
Says That Meeting Should be Hel at This Time to Promote Euthusiism
The University Council will hold a special meeting this afternoon at 4:30 to decide whether there will be a football rally tomorrow after chapel.
"The premature announcement of the rally is the cause for this special meeting of the University Council," explained Chancellor Frank Strong, this morning. "I am sure it would be a good thing as we need a meeting to arouse enthusiasm before Saturday's game. However can Saturday be that that will give a rally tomorrow. It rests entirely with the council."
"The University Council probably will grant us a rally," said President Chas. Coats of the Men's Student Council, "But the council members are very much opposed to breaking up classes and the students must go to class after the meeting is over. If they don't want to attend this matter we may be able to have yell meetings before the Nebraska and Missouri games."
Prof. Carl Becker, a member of the University Council believes that if the students do not attend classes after the rally it should be stopped. He said that the council probably would set aside its ruling to dispense with rallies and test the attitude of the students tomorrow.
There is a committee of the University Council working with the Chancellor at present to change the chapel time on Fridays. Various plans are proposed such as eliminating the 10 o'clock classes and also of holding chapel after the classes of the morning are over.
CIRCUS IS COMING
The state hospital at the University School of Medicine at Rosalde has already cared for several hundred cases of the indigent poor of the state. Through its investigation into the cause and treatment of such baffling diseases as pellagra and infantile paralysis it is doing direct service for the state and humanity.
April
Prof. Root's Annual Show to Appear Here in April
C. B. Root, physical director, will stage the second annual indoor circus about the second week in April in the gymnasium.
There will be many feats of remarkable trapeze performing, tumbling, pyramid building, and a troupe of clowns to entertain the freshmen and the little fokes. it will be a com-munity ringed circus under one canyass.
Between seventy-five and $^{2}$ a hundred performers will be needed for the company this year and any one capable of doing a stunt is eligible. Unless better seating accommodations are necessary for the company to make a two nights stand. Last year the crowd filled the gymnasium.
Making Over the Books.
The books in the registrar's office are being re-organized this week according to the classification of the fall enrollment.
Chapel Talk.
Jacob Billikoff, director of public welfare of Kansas City, will speak in chapel tomorrow. Mr. Billikoff is well known in the west as a prominent public service worker. His talk probably will be on a topic concerned with his work. . . . . . . .
"ASK ME" COMMITTEE
housand Students to Receive Crowd at K. U.-M. U. Game.
An "Ask Me Committee of 1000" is the latest plan for the entertainment of alumni and visitors when the crowd of 15,000 expected to the Thanksgiving game climbs off at a basketball game in college pens and lots of college spirit.
A thousand little badges labeled "Ask Me" will be printed and distributed among students and faculty. This will make a reception committee of over a thousand students who will answer all questions for visitors, show strangers and alumni about the University and city, give help and necessary directions about the game, and do anything possible to welcome the Thanksgiving crowd and make the day pleasant for the visitors.
Get in line early and get a badge and welcome alumni and visitors with the true Kansas spirit of hospitality and friendliness!
Miss Wiedemann to Quit Teaching
On account of a recent bereavement Miss Louise Wiedemann has resigned her position as instructor in piano in the School of Fine Arts which she has held for nine years, she had decided to give up teaching and will receive no more pupils.
DIVIDES TICKET MONEY
Student Enterprise Association Apportions Amount Each Activity Will Receive
A meeting of the Associated Student Enterprises was held yesterday in Fraser hall to discuss the distribution of the $1200 received from the sale of student tickets so far this year. The band, the Glee club, the orchestra, the Mandolin club, and the Debating Council as a whole will be entitled to $1 from each of the 1200 student tickets sold this fall, the remainder going to the athletic association.
In two weeks each of these organizations will present budgets to the Student Enterprise Association and each will receive its quota of the funds. The university's number of admission, number of entertainments, and cost of maintenance.
NEW OFFICERS ELECTED FOR UNIVERSITY GUARDS
For some time, the officers of the University militia company have been considering the advisability of bringing the organization more directly under University control, so that it would be given a more important part in student activities. The plan at last agreed upon was to secure as captain of the company a member of the University faculty. Accordingly the commissioned officers, Captain Steele and Lieutenants Fairchild and Allphin, resigned. At the meeting of the company held last night, these vacancies were filled by the election of the following officers: Jones, an instructor in the engineering school, who has had several years military experience; first lieutenant, Sam Fairchild, who has been acting lieutenant for the past year; second lieutenants, ex-seargent Uttachb, Lieutenant Allphin has been given a staff position.
It had been planned to show motion pictures of the recent military encampment in the vicinity of Kansas City and Fort Riley, in which the K. N. G. participated, but, owing to the non arrival of the films, this treat had to be postponed. The pictures will be shown before the members of the company next Tuesday night at the new "Bread Nickel."
Before the election, a three round boxing exhibition was staged by two members of the company.
WOMEN GET MARRIED
TOO SOON SAYS PROF
Miss Mary Darlington of Kansas City will be at the Pi Phi house for the week-end.
"The field of women in architecture is extensive, but the case I have always met is that women get married before they can fill the positions," declared Prof. M. P. McArdell, head of the proposed department of architecture in the University of Kansas. Professor McArdell was on the campus yesterday conferring with the Board of Regents regarding the appropriations needed for the new Administration building.
SAD STORY OF ONE MAN WIPING HIS WATERY EYE
The drinking fountains in the University buildings have been equipped with patent lever attachments so that the water runs only when the victim is drinking, and each time the lever is pulled the stream spurs up like "Old Faithful" in a certain National Park.
"Since the janitor put the patent snip snap on me I have had a jolly time. The unsuspecting student comes rushin in, pulls the snapper and—pst—the joke is on him, and so is the water.
The fountain in Fraser has the following story to tell.
"One day a pretty coated came trip ping over to me with a twinkle in he eye and a smile and other things or her face-OH! but she was a peach-
MAY USE RECALL ON UNIVERSITY Y. M. C. A.
UNIVERSITY COUNCIL PUSHING SOCIAL CENTERS
I caught myself about to jump from the floor in the anticipation to meet her rosy lips as she leaned over to mine—but "pat, splash" and our little romance was ended and so was her complexion for the rest of the day.
Agitation Being Started for New System in College Government
complexion for the rest of the day.
"One day the Chancellor came out for a drink (the Chancellor does not drink off of me very often). He looked very dry. He looked as if he had been reading the Literary Digest or Roosevelt's editorials in the Outlook—at any rate he looked dry, and that is the main point. He stouped over as he used to before I was remodelled—then "pst. blanket-blank! NO, the Chancellor did not swear, the Chancellor never swears, but he—well, he has not patronized me since, 'Oh it’s fun to be a drinking mountain.'"
Comes now the recall pleading for admission to the Student Council constitution. A number of upper classmen are interested in the matter, and are advocating the dressing of the student government in clothes of the latest style and cut.
"Whether the experiment would be a success is another question, but the theory is sound. If the first attempt to find a suitable man for a task takes years, then serving the public interests he should be turned out and a good man put it in."
"It might be an interesting experiment to have our student council constitution cut in the latest styles, and have in it the recent of members of the student council and class officers," said Dean F. W. Blackmar, professor of sociology and economics, today.
The recall of public officials can succeed only when there is a high degree of socialization. It is very obvious that the recall could not be productive of good in a country like Mexico where the mass of the people are educated and unacquainted to self-government. It is a question whether the students of the University are accustomed to acting together in governmental affairs and whether they would make the right use of the recall. It would seem that if any community is well educated and capable of acting intelligently it would be in a University like this.
"Should the recall be tried by the students, it would be necessary to have some provisions to prevent its abuse. It might be well to have a provision that no recall could be made within a period of six months after election. Another provision would necessarily increase the call might not be taken advantage of by warring factions should such exist.
An important meeting of the officers of all county clubs is called for Saturday morning at 10 o'clock in room 110 Fraser hall to make plans for the home-coming of alumni at the Missouri game. It is hoped that all county clubs will help entertain the alumni up for the big game, and some sort of means will be devised at this meeting to better distribute the entitlements. All alumni urged to send representations whether any county club is organized or not. President Coats will preside over the meeting.
"The student council is at present well organized and is working in an excellent manner."
County Officers Meet
Committee of University Students Starting Plan in Communities Near K. U.
Amovement is now under way to enlist a number of college students in some practical work along the line of social centers, about which so much has been said recently. The University Y. M. C. A. has been in touch with several rural communities where there is need for work along this line. Asher Hobson is the chairman of a committee which has plans in charge. Last week Mr. Hobson and Roy Stockwell, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., made two trips to a rural school district six miles West of Lawrence and, in co-operation with the people of the neighborhood, plans have been made for launching the work. A public meeting will be held at this school house tonight (Wednesday) at which the general topic, "What our community needs most," will be discussed by several of the leading people of the neighborhood.
Some time ago I paid five bons, a bargain rate they said, for tickets to some football games; mehinks I was mis-led. They told me I could go to everything that came along, but now since I have bought the thing, they sing another song. Reminds me of the time back home, the circus came to tow ; dug up two bits to see the side-show lady of renown. When I got in the lady stood upon a crimson stage, enveloped in a long bath rob, oh she was quite the rage. The lad wore the mask and held the giant guitar through that of two bits more, the maid would sing a song. We all dug up; of course we did! Who likes to go halfway? We'll all see the Missouri game; of course we all will pay. The ticket that I have at home, will let me stick around, but as I understand the dope, I'll sit upon the ground.

THE MISSOURI SIDE SHOW
The Y. M. C. A. will supply some special music and other features in addition to the program prepared by the country people. Asher Hobson and his committee has arranged for a quartet consisting of Lewis Buxton, Dan Walters, Elmore and Earl Porter to go out with him tonight and sing.
"This is a line of work we have been wanting to undertake, for some time past," said Roy Stockwell this morning. "It is tranky an opportunity for service. I think one of the real questions of college life today is, how is the man who has enjoyed the advantages of a college training with its culture and wider outlook, to share this culture with the man who has not had these advantages. Now there is no place in greater need of the intellectual stimulus supplied by our colleges than the ordinary community, and there is no more responsive class of people anywhere than the people of our country. And while I hope we may be able to contribute something toward the general welfare of the country people themselves, I have no doubt the men who do the work as a volunteer service will be benefited quite as much if not more than any one else. While we hear much now a days about the service rendered by the University to the State, there is no greater service which the University can render, in my opinion, than to send out her students inspired with an intelligent purpose to serve with lives." •

Prof. R. R. Price and Prof. G. A. Gesellschaft are serving on the committee in an advisory capacity. It is expected that the work will be extended to several rural communities this winter if sufficient volunteers can be secured.

KAPPAS TO MOVE SOON
Expect to Occupy New Home By Nov. 1. If Decorators Finish
if the decorators will only hurry up and get through, the Kappas declare they will move into their new chapter house at least by November 1.
Their new house was built at a cost of twenty thousand dollars and they claim it to be the finest structure of which the Kappa organization can anywhere boast. It is uniquely situated upon a point of the south brow of Mount Oread, and commands a view of the Wakarusa and Kaw valleys for fifteen miles.
The style of architecture is a mixture of French and colonial. The house is built of chocolate-colored brick fashioned with white limestone, and has four floors, twenty-one rooms, one porch, and a promenade extending around two sides. The interior is finished in oak and has rough-finished tinted walls. Numerous broad staircases, spacious halls, a large living room, a capacious initiation room and last but not least, a laundry, are some of the other features.
KANWAKA SCHOI-DISTRICT
TO HAVE SOCIAL CENTER
That a social center should be established in the Kanwaka school district was the general opinion expressed by the people of that district at a meeting last night held in the United Brethren church seven miles west of Lawrence, under the direction of the University Y. M. C. A.
"At the present time there is no thing that brings the community together as a whole," said Roy Stockwell, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., this morning. "There is no place where my family can work which affect all alike. School questions and social questions should be settled by all who are concerned."
Asher Hobson, chairman of the social service committee was assisted by Roy Stockwell, David Mickey, David Dietrich, and James Lawrence.
An oyster supper will be given Friday, November 1. At that time plans for permanent organization will be effected.
PI UPSILON TO GIVE
