COULDN'T FIND REGISTRAR
AT HASKELL SCHOOL1
It has been said the Indian has only an indistinct sense for humor. The Redskins at the Haskell Institute seem to have been minds for jokes. The following quotation is from the leader; printed by and for Indians:
Two nice-appearing young men came into the school building last week, who appeared to be undecided as to where to go. An employee asked them if they would like a guide. "We wish to see the registrar, Mr. Foster," was the reply. "Mr. Foster is at K.U. This is Haskell Institute, an Indian school." said the employee. "This is K.U. We thought it was. How can we talk to him?" bewildered young man. And they didn't wait to even thank the employee, they were so anxious to find the University.

How'd you like to get a haircut for four cents?
HAIR CUTS WERE CHEAP IN "BINGVILLE" VILLAGE
This is not an advertisement for any Lawrence barbershop; it is the result of a scientific law in economics, as laid down by all present day writers on economics, or an empirical competition instead of being "the life of trade", is really the death of trade.
But the four-cent hair cuts?
"Once I knew a town, a very small town," said Professor Putman, of the department of economics, "that had to be done for me. The shop was enough to handle the town's

PENN GETS OLYMPIC ATHLETE
Greek Weighing 244 Pounds Reports
For Freshman Football

One of the hardest things first year men have to do is to discover a proper leposal of their time. Lesurely habits if High School days are different than he life at the University. Professor Emmett Fowler has interests in "as mild a manner as is possible". First year men are especially urged to attend.
1. To make the interest of the whole class primary in everything.
2. To make the June Prom and all class functions strictly representative junior productions on the merit of the participants, not pull.
We, the undersigned candidates on the Junior "Square Deal" ticket, hereby pledge ourselves, if elected, as follows:

trade, consisting about ten shaves a day on an average when business was good, and sometimes as many as five haircubs a week, weather and good crops permitting. But two rival shops, the 'Famous' and the 'Up-to-date', which had an extra chair, were both determined to stay there. So they began cutting the price of haircubs. They bought them at that when the 'Famous' advertised haircubs at four cents, the 'Up-todate' silently folded up its tents and quit. But the law worked, just as we college professors say it works."
K. U. PLAYS WELL.
Mosse's Team Scored Fast and Furious against the Catholics.
Saturdays' affair on McCook field closed with the Jayhawkers holding the large end of a 62 to 0 score, the largest total that has ever been made on that field. Mosee's pupils were in fine form in the opening contest of the Kansas 1912 football season and from the first easily out played their lighter opponents.
The Catholics opened the contest with a kick off to kansas which was returned two yards by Groft. On a series of line bucks and end runs Kansas was able to carry the ball to the oppositions twelve yard line. St. Marys could not stop the heavy charging Kansans who tore through the line at will. A fumble was made on the first attempt to score but the ball was quickly recovered and Miller went over for the first to Midwives in less than two minutes of play. In the first session the Jayhawkers were able to score three touchdowns, one on a bang forward pass to Weidline over the goal line.
From that point it was only a matter of time until the Quigley athletes would be forced back to their goal posts were the ball would be pushed over for another six points. Kansas at this point of the game was penalized several times for off side play and holding a ball in front of the receiver in all penalties wherechained the 100 yard mark while the Quigley machine was set back for but sixty.
The last two quarters were shortened to ten minutes periods and but two touch downs were made. Captain Brownlee made a beautiful sprint for eighty yards to a touchdown on the first kick off of the second half.

Tuesday night which are intended to put a stop to hazing and intimidation of freshmen.

KANSAS FOOT BALL EXTRA
TO BE A REGULAR ISSUE
During football Season the News of the games will be Printed in the Saturday Extra.
Within five minutes after the man whistle blew last Saturday the Daily Kansas Extra was being sold on the streets to the students who had witnessed the game. In getting out the extra the students in the Department of Journalism had their first taste of fast work. The fact that Kansas nearly scored during the last minute of play kept the Kansan off the press a few minutes longer than was anticipated, but the sale shows that the students appreciated the extra in the way that "counts".
It is planned to issue the Extra after every football game this season. When the game is played on foreign grounds a special wire, with a Kansas correspondent, the grounds will give the student at home the very latest reports of the game.

CELEBRATE VICTORY IN EVENING CLOTHES
One Thousand Cheering Students Marched in Night Shirt Parade Saturday
CHANCELLOR STRONG SPOKE
Dr. Strong Told Paraders That Enthusiasm Counted—"Uncle Jim-mie" Also Spoke.
The annual night-shirt parade Saturday night was the most successful since the event became a University custom. A line of 1,000 nightshirter students seen blocks long marched through the student district, snake-danced down Massachusetts street, and listened to speeches by Chancellor Strong and "Uncle Jimmy" Green at their respective residences. The paraders met at 7:45 o'clock in South Park and dispersed at 10:30 to partake of the refreshments offered by Lawrence merchants and to attend the various nickle shows.
The sidewalks on Massachusetts street were lined with spectators, most of whom were town-people and co-eds with a sprinkling of men students, whose dignity prevented their taking part. The parade was headed by the mayor, Larry Hutchison and "Chuck" Dolde, cheer leader, who led the yelling procession.
After leaving South Park, the parade started for the Chancellor's residence gathering lanterns and recruits in large numbers on the way. The Chancellor, owing to the illness of his son, made only a short speech from his front porch congratulating the students upon the enthusiasm shown and complimenting the football team upon its brilliant victory.
"Every team must have rooters to help it win games," he said, "and if you give the same support all through the season that you manifest tonight we will have no cause for complaint that we brought honor to the University and I am confident that it will bring more honor to it in the games to follow."
After giving several cheers for both the Chancellor and the University the march was resumed. By this time the number in the crowd had grown to about 1000 and the line extended for seven blocks. When Massachusetts street was reached after a march down Quincy街 the snail dance was started. Back and forth across the entire width of the foulway gave the hip-shirts shuttled while their owners, or borrowers as the case might be sang "Crimson and the Blue," "Boala," and other songs with now and then a "Rock Chalk" intervening.
The celebrators proceeded to Uclem Jimmy's" house and sat on his front lawn while he spoke to them. As the official prophet of the University and the leader of anything and everything connected with football he fordotted a most successful season. Marianne over-vietted team and a victory over Oklahoma and Missouri brought prolonged applause and cheers.
"We have a debt to settle with the Cornhuskers," Uncle Jimmy said, "and I believe we will clear up the obligation when we travel to Lincoln in November. If the soulless corporations known as railroads will give us a fair rate we will all go up there to watch our boys shuck corn. You must remember, though, that the victory today was over a comparison and they and we must boys in every way in the harder struggles that are to come. An ever-victorious team is not only possible but it is probable and we are all striving for another Kansas year on the gridiron."
The usual mad scramble for places in the line followed the speech and the parade returned to the Eldridge house corner. Here yells were given around a blaze of red fire and Dolde officially organized the "Thundering Thousand." After the parade disbanded a rush was made for the various soda fountains and the thirsty throats were generously provided for. The nickel shows put on special shows for the night-shirted clan, who finally went home, tired, happy and hoarse.
