K. U. REPAYS STATE FOR APPROPRIATIONS
Governor Stubbs Declares University Gives State Big Returns
SAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
Department of Weights and Measures Sees That Buyers Receive Full Measure for Their Money
"This University, in conjunction with the State Board of Health have more than repaid the people for the money they have expended here," was the declaration of Gov. W. R. Stubbs in his address before the students of the University this morning. "Your appropriation for last year was one half million more than it was the first year I was at the capitol. It costs money and untold labor to pay the bills o tthis University, and the people who are scraping and suffering to furnish this money have a right to demand that you do your work in the best way.
Students Working Right.
Students Working Right.
"I believe that the students of Kansas University are doing their work right. You have a great opportunity here, and those students who think that it is smart to conduct themselves in a manner not worthy of Kansans, are not hurting any one half so much as themselves. You have a great work to do. Your advantages here give the people of the state a claim your services as makers of public morals, public services, and public law.
Work With State.
"I left this University for a business life, and I say from a lifetime of experience with the people who raised the homes of Kansas from the unbroken prairie—stick to your work. Pull your own weight in the world. We teach our children that if they do not work that they should not eat.
"Dr. Crumbine tells me that the work of the department of Weights and Measures have given thousands of dollars back to the people. This University stands for work that is useful, for high ideals of government and for culture. You who are enjoying the advantages here should use all the things that the people have placed here for you. Cultivate a true sense of fairness in state administration. Stand for laws that give to all the people equal rights, and stand against any legislation that tends to give one class of people an unlawful advantage over another."
COMPARE MISS VENUS WITH K. U. WOMEN
That this does not apply to the girls enrolled in the gymnasium classes, but to any girl who takes swimming, basket-ball, tennis, or any form of athletics, is the statement made by Dr. Johnson, head of the department

Much interest is being shown in the work offered this year and at present more than 250 students are enrolled in swimming and the enrollment will be larger later.
Freshmen girls are learning this year in just what respects they are deficient physically and how to correct them. A percentile chart is being used by which measurements are taken and each girl may see where she differs from the average girl. She is then given advice and a prescription of exercises to correct her difficulties.

Student Council to Pass on All Financial Reports of Committees
ELECT THREE NEW MEMBERS
Chooses Beamer, Ross, and Dingman to Fill Vacancies Left by Members Failing to Return.
Three new faces will appear in the Student Council lineup after last night's session, when Ross Beamer, Paul Ross, and Oscar Dingman were selected to fill the vacancies caused by the failure of Louis LaCoss, Charles Hill and W. A. Davenport to return to school this fall.
Resolutions were passed whereby the council will be given power to regulate all class affairs during the year, and to audit the reports of all financial committees. The resolutions follow:
Whereas, it is clearly the duty of the Men's Student Council to supervise as far as is possible and reasonable the organization and government of the respective classes of the University of Kansas, and;
Whereas, it is desired that said classes be handled on a basis satisfactory to each of their respective members in regards to all class affairs and interests, such as parties, promos, hops, dances and entertainments of all kinds together with all other class activities, and;
Whereas, in former years it has not always proven satisfactory to all concerned that above mentioned matters should be handled entirely by one officer or member of any one of the respective classes therefore;
Whereas, it is a necessity that for such government a strict account of all liabilities, disbursements, receipts and all other matters pertaining to the interests of each respective class must be kept by responsible persons, and;
Be it resolved, that the Student Activities Committee of the Men's Student Council be given power to supervise the actions of each and every class in regard to its respective activities, such as parties, hops, proms and other like entertainments wherein the interests of the class proper are at stake and that all complimentary tickets, passes, and names on any free list connected with the class for each and every entertainment be certified by the student council of above mentioned committee before recognized as being valid, and that any discussion arising between the chairman of the social committee of any of the respective classes and the chairman of the students activities committee in regards to the giving of complimentary tickets, passes and other like documents, said discussion shall be decided by the Men's Student Council, and that the treasurer of each respective class be stationed at the door of any entertainment whatsoever given by his class, and that a true and accurate account be kept of all receipts and expenses, and give up entertainment, or person or persons to give advice to enter without first paying the required entrance fee, except such as have satisfactory certification of free entrance as heretofore mentioned, and that not latter than one day following the day on which any entertainment or activity of the nature above mentioned of any class be given, the treasurer of said class shall make a true and accurate report of all financial matters pertaining to said party to the Student Activities Committee of the Men's Student Council, which committee shall act as an auditing board for each individual report submitted and shall be made responsible to enable sufficient answer in regards to all financial matters as above made mention of to any one of the respective classes or to the members of the Men's Student Council.
All profits accruing from the invitation committee, the cap and gown committee of the Senior Class, all profits from the Senior play shall be turned over to the custodian of the funds for the Student union building unless deficit in Senior Class, unless created by other cause than annual.
A committee of five persons, known as the Senior Auditing Committee, will convene to awarding of contracts for the Caps and Gowns and the senior invitation

The engineer strolled over toward Fraser at chapel time to see some of the freshmen "femmes" who made their debut on the hill this year. Throwing his piper heidisks up against the wall he ambled into the crowd of fussers and fussines that usually gathers in Fraser at this time. In one of the corners he heard one of the fussers address a fussines thusly:
WHEN LOVE IS YOUNG IN FRASER--A FUSSINE TALE
"You may not be the wittiest, brightest, or pretentious in the world,—this great big world. But in my world, you are all that is pretentious, all that is bright, and all that is pretty
personified in your own sweet dea
little self. To me you are my goal
my idea of blessful happiness, and the
materialization of all my ambitions
and dreams since that first fortune
day that my eyes first threw their
gaze on your quiet face. You are
your lifemate in your quiet life.
My all my, only. Without your life would
be one woofel, dreary waste, without
purpose, end or aim."
VACCINATED? NO? LAWS TO CELEBRATE YOU'RE OUT OF DATE "UNCLE JIMMY DAY
"For the love of Mike", said the Engineer taking another bite of his piper, "this is no place for me", and strolled back to Marvin Hall.
Latest Thing in Typhoid Ser um Arrives on Campus for Distribution
"The time is fast coming when a person who has not been vaccinated for typhoid will be as out of date and as hard to find as one not vaccinated for small-pox now is," declared Dean Smith. "I am not sure when asked about the typhoid vaccine just received by the School of Medicine.
"The vaccine has arrived and is being administered free to the students by Doctor Chambers and his student should take advantage of it.
"All U. S. army men are required to be made immune by this vaccine once every three years. However, the period of immunity lasts indefinitely. It is probable that the effects of the treatment will cause the subject to enjoy a greater or less degree of freedom from infection throughout his life. Undoubtedly the immunity lasts much longer than three years."
The serum for this treatment and the services of the physician are furnished free to students, but cost the State Board of Health about four dollars. The regular cost of this vaccination would be at least five dollars.
The vaccination with this serum is not accompanied by the usual painful effects of a small-pox vaccination, as the treatment consists of simply giving the four hypodermic injections of the different parts of the vaccine.
"There is far more danger of infection from typhoid than there is from small-pox," said the dean "and no person can afford to risk an attack of the disease. This greater danger of infection from typhoid is due to the fact that there are so many more carriers of the typhoid germs than there are in humans. Typhoid fever may become a carrier of the disease to others for life, while in the other case, the period of infection lasts for only a short time and can be readily perceived by anyone during the period of infection."
"The demand for college graduates on mission fields is very strong and students who are qualified for the work have far less trouble in getting favorably located abroad than in similar work at home. The work itself is very much the same as in the United States." Said Roy Stockwell, secretary of the University Y. M. C. A. Mr. McRae has just been called to help find three teachers to teach simple English conversation and composition in Japanese Government Schools, and three tutors for Mission Colleges.

Date is Set for Nov. 7 and Committees Have Been Appointed
Curses! The Gas Has Escaped!
The seventh annual "Ucle Jimmy Day" banquet will be held Thursday, November 7, at the Hotel Eldridge. This is the banquet given by the students of the School of Law on the anniversary of the dedication of Green Hall. It is called "Jimmy affair," and students of others schools of the University are not admitted.
Besides the guest of honor, "Uncle Jimmy" Green, prominent lawyers of the state and the faculty of the School of law are guests of the students.
"It is the custom to have the banquet on the Thursday nearest November 3, the date of dedication", said Kenneth Simmons president of the Senior class of the School of Law, this morning. The date, November 7 has been set for the graduation ceremony, the national election will not interfere with our obtaining prominent speakers."
When the frost is on the bed-clothes and the voice of Big Ben booms, and the icy morning atmosphere is chasing round the rooms; when the stern and solemn duty of arising comes to me, I pull the covers o'er my whiskers, and I chortle in my glee. I know the clock will ring again, and with the greatest joy, I try to dream it's summer-time, once more I am a boy. But swift and sure the minutes fly, the rain pours down, and I'm frightened. I hit the floor. Blasts of winter chase each other up and down my shaking spine, tremblingly I strike sight matches and arouse a fire on nine; stooping now I turn the gas on, and with caution hold the match, closer, closer now I hold it, but the bloomin gas won't catch. Shades of Hades! what, I wonder is the matter with the gas? And with a cracker for my breakfast, cursing, make my way to class.
Kenneth Simmons has appointed the following committees to arrange the details for the banquet: program committee Russell Clark, chairman, Frank Nesbit, A. D. Zook; reception committee, W. L. Keeping, chairman, R. C. Davis, Hugh Adair, Lou Buzic; refreshment committee, Carl Hicka, chairman, W. S. Norris, Clew Ewald; committee on decorations, John Hoffman, chairman, Sam Bierer, U. A. Gribble, L.R. Wilhelm; committee on finance, Dick Hepworth, chairman, C. W. Clark, Floyd Fisher, E. W. Davis.
The following men have been chosen to represent their classes with toasts: Clifford Sullivan for the seniors, A. B. Campbell for the middle, and DeLonge for the juniors. Orlin Weede will act as toastmaster.

The annual joint Y. M.-Y. W, social will be held Saturday evening in Robinson gymnasium. The entertainment will be under the direction of the social committee of the Y. M. C. A., while the social committee of the W. Y. C. A. will have charge of the "eats."
Social Committees Announce Many Features for Y. M.-Y. W. Social
A part of the program will be vaudeville. One feature will be a song guessing contest. The crowd will be divided into groups of twenty each. A pianist will play a number of selections, including different classes of music. The groups will endeavor to name these pieces, the group naming the greatest number correctly winning. The attractions will be so varied as to satisfy all tastes.

Professor of Neurology Seeks Cause of Infantile Paralysis in Emporia
The department of the School of Medicine at Rosedale is investigating the epidemic resembling infantile paralysis which began in Emporia about the first of the month. Dr. Andrew L. Skoop, professor of neurology, is charge of the examination.
"The department has been conducting investigations of infantile paralysis ever since the epidemic which occurred in the northwestern part of the state four years ago," said Dean Crumbine this morning. "I procured monkeys for the use in experiments and we have learned much concerning the disease through these experiments. We have succeeded in transmitting the disease from one monkey to another and have learned something of how it is spread among people."
The dean said that no definite information had been given out yet by the investigating committee.
