Vice Chancellor Carruth Says Book Worms are No Longer Common
SPOKE IN CHAPEL TODAY
STUDENT DIRECTORY TO BE A LARGE ONE
Students Should be Temperate An Normal in All Interests Declares Speaker.
"It's a long, long time since I've seen a book-worm," said Vice-Cancellor W. H. Carruth at chapel this morning. "Preachers and teachers come here to speak to us and tell us to be careful not to overstudy. They tell us that there are other things beside books. It seems that athletes and rooters clubs have destroyed our bookworm. I would like to see a bookworm again."
Four Fields of Activity.
"I have divided the activities of the student into four general divisions, namely, physical, esthetic, social and religious. Some twenty or more sports furnish us with physical interests. In esthetic diversions we have four debating clubs, five dramatic clubs, five musical organizations and twenty or more dancing clubs. I am not sure but that dancing should come under the head of social interest. Our social interests are activated by means of eighteen twenty sororities and fraternities, thirty of forty dining clubs, over twenty faculty teas and entertainments. The religious side of our life is appealed to by the Y. M. C. A. and the W. Y. C. A. organizations, two bible chairs and twenty churches and Sunday schools.
"Outside interests are students interests and in the somewhat degenerate environment of today, they have multiplied with each passing year. Duelling and drinking were common vices among the German students centuries ago, but today we have a much greater complexity of interests.
Healthy Recreation Good.
"All these healthy activities are making their appeal to you. It matters not what one you cultivate, but it is essential for your own good that you do something. It follows naturally that you should be temperate and normal in all your interests. It is foolish to study too much and to play too much. Be temperate. Do not do as I once did; cultivate several Sunday schools in the hope that the supply of Christmas candy would be thus increased.
"Advice is cheap and easily freegiven, but this one thing I would like to impress upon you, be rational and temperate in all things."
Most of the Candidates Wanted Job of Holding Class Money.
JUNIOR LAWS ELECT
"One of the best forms of exercise that I can recommend is that of walking. I do not mean a hike with a lunch at the end of it, but a moderate walk into the beautiful country that we have about us.
The junior laws, assisted by many upperclassmen, elected officers today. The vote for president, George Dalton (of football fame) 27 and W. Earl Emick, 17; for vice president, Charles Milton, 28, and Justin Hushaw 16; for secretary, Dean McEhnney 22, and John Greenstein, 18.
The office of treasurer seemed to be the desired one. There were seven candidates who wanted to hold the class money. Clem Fairchild was the favored one and secured this office.
The election was noisy, and the usual number of the oratorical inclined made nominating speeches.

Secretary Brown to Make
Secretary Brown to Make This Guide a Complete Information Bureau
WILL CONTAIN NEW FEATURES
List to Include All Social Organizations and Student Council
Edicts.
Besides containing the name, addresses, and telephone number of all students and professors in the University, the new directory will be enlarged so as to give a list of all class organizations, important committees, associations, societies, clubs, publications, honorary fraternities, fraternities and sororites.
A big change and enlargement of this year's University Student directory was announced today by Secretary Edward E. Brown when requests were sent to all student organizations, committees, publications, etc. on the hill to hand in a list of their members and officers to the secretary's office.
in addition to the above lists, the book containing the constitution and by laws of the Student Council, rules and regulations governing class elections, officers, and student conduct, which was put out last year by the Student Council, will be incorporated in the new directory. This will enable anyone to locate any student or professor on the hill any organi- ties or its officers, all rules and student regulations, and in fact, anything of interest to students conducted under the name of the University.
A list of the Lawrence churches may also be included, with other necessary information for students hetofore largely furnished through the Y. M. C. A. handbook.
K. U.WILL LEARN WHY BAD“KIDS” ARE BAD
The new directory is modelled somewhat after the Missouri student directory, with added features peculiar to this University, and is now in the hands of the printer.
University Investigators Will
University Investigators W
Make Tests for State
School Authorities
Just why Willie Jones of Norton county or Tom Smith of Douglas county were backward in school, smoked cigarettes and finally ended in the state reform school will be scientifically determined by the University of Kansas bureau of school service.
University investigators will apply a series of tests to the defective children to decide what is wrong with their mental powers. Results will be tabulated and published for the benefit of the school authorities of the state. Each of the state service bureaus will also furnish lecturers free for meetings of teachers in the state.
New Books Being
The library of the late Governor Robinson, which was left to the University last spring, has been brought out of its hiding place in the basement of Spooner library, and is being gradually inspected and cataloged by Miss Mary M. Smelser, access assistant in the library. The collection contains many interesting old documents of the slavery period of history as well as a number of books already possessed by the library.

A NEW FOOTBALL SONG FURNISHED BY K. U. BAND
In addition to furnishing "Boola," and the other favorites at the St. Marys game Saturday after only a few days of practice, the band launched the first football song of the season on the roofters. It was to the roaring声 "Everybody's Born" and proved suitable for use on McCair field.
The band was forced to sit opposite the rooting section occupied by Dolde's "Thundering Thousand" and so the students were unable to learn the song. The Kansan prints the new football song in full, and it will be used by the team on Saturday. Wolberg came next Saturday. The song is as follows:
Old K. U. is playin' ball, playin' ball, playin' ball.
Red and Blue is playin' ball, playin' ball, playin' ball.
See K. U.'s men line up over there,
Watch them toss ___ in the air,
Oh! there see them tearing thru the line
With a roar, for a score, and a goal: WHEE.
Old K. U. is doin' it, doin' it, doin' it,
Brownlee's men are doin' it, doin' it, doin' it;
Ain't that playing line touching your heart,
See that strong line bustin' apart;
Roc-kChalk-Jayhawk, let us start
Old K. U. is doin' it now.

THAT OLD-TIME WASHDAY
University Introduces Course in Scientific Laundry Work Wita Special Equipment.
Old-time wasday with mother stooping over the tub on a Monday morning is to be elevated this year at the University of Kansas. Students in the department of home economics will receive a special course in laundry work.
"Turning out for the squad?" queried Dr. Strong, when he had recovered his poise. "Well, if you're not, you ought to be. Just come along with me. I want to show you to Coach Mosse."
In order to train students who in tend to teach sewing, a new course has been started. Part of the lessons will cover an investigation of dry goods so that articles for clothing may be purchased intelligently. Students will be taught also the best methods of buying groceries and the work in domestic science approached from the marketing standpoint.
Prof. Edna D. Day will conduct the work and will train the girls in the best methods of washing. A study of textiles and their endurance powers will accompany the course and will be especially equipped for the course and different types of washing machines will be installed.
And with his pair of 200 pound beauties in tow, the Chancellor marched to McCook field, where he landed them safely in the Varsity squad.
The Chancellor was hurrying across the campus last week when he bumped into two six-foot undergrad- uates.
Chancellor Frank Strong is something of an athletic scout himself. As a result of his work in this line, Coach Arthur Mosse of the football team has received two likely candidates for line positions.

Speaker Champ Clark to Ad dress Students in Gym at 11:30 O'Clock
Speaker Champ Clark, who is to make a political address in Lawrence Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock, will talk to the students of the University at 11:30 o'clock, Friday morning in the gymnasium.

Joe Wood and Beals Becker Hail From Short Grass
If there are any changes in the plans, announcement of them will be made so that the students may know.
WO KANSAS PLAYERS IN WORLD'S SERIES
Country
Students from Ness City and Little Rock probably will have more than a passing interest in the opening of the world's series today. Two of the players on the rival teams, Joe Wood of the Red Sox and Becker of the Giants, hail respectively from the two towns and the outcome of their playing should be of interest to the home folks.
This year the main burden of the Red Sox will fall upon the shoulders of Joe Wood, who began his baseball career with the Hutchinson club in the old Western Association. He was then known as the "boy wonder" and proved to be a winner each successive year. Joe was soon a member of the Kansas City Blues, but he showed big league signs and the Boston Red Sox signed the man whom they hope will help to win them a world's championship.
Harold—Oh, yes. Tom and I split the kitty last night.
Beals Beeke, present member of the New York Giants, will be pitched against Joe Wood. Becker started his career with Little Rock and went from there to the Cincinnati Reds and later to the Giants, where he has remained. While he is only a “fill in” he has always made good in emergencies and McGraw thinks him too valuable to turn loose.
Charabelle—Do you medics practice vivisection?
Wisconsin Sphino
Tom—Say, did you ever kiss a girl in a quiet spot.
Bill -Yes, but only while I was kissing it.
-Punch Bowl.

Championship weather was on the program when the Giants and Red Sox met in the first game of the world's series this afternoon. It was a championship affair from every standpoint. The crowd, the players, and even the bat bots caught the spirit. The first ceremony was the presentation of an automobile to Coca-Cola executives.
