KANSAS LEADS STATES IN WELL-CONDUCTED CITIES
Director of Extension Points Our Superiority of Sunflower Commonwealth to Iowa League.
Sioux City, Ia., Sept. 27—That Kansas ranks among the leaders of the United States in the manner of conducting city governments was the declaration made here today by Richard R. Price, director of the extension division of the University of Kansas, in an address before the annual meeting of the Iowa League of Municipalities.
"No other state can show a record of thirty-two cities with a commission form of government," asserted Mr. Price. "Of the ten largest cities in the United States, this form except one and none of them would go back to the old ideas."
Mr. Price explained in detail the municipal reference bureau of the city's police department.
"Our bureau has indexed and filed model ordinances, franchises, statistics and other information of importance to cities," said Mr. Price. "This material is sent to all inquiring city officials and small bulletins are being presented to such subjects as moving picture regulations, oiled streets, insurance of public buildings, municipal lighting plants and kindred topics."
"Municipal officers should have sound and expert information and advice on the subjects constantly arising in city affairs. Situated in the midst of the activity of a corps of experts at hand on practically every subject and we stand ready to give any one consultation and advice."

NEW RULES TRIED OUT
Baker-Haskell Game Gave Followers Chance to Note Changes in Game
The game between the Haskell Indians and Baker University yesterday afternoon at the Haskell field, which was won by Kennedy's hopes, 21 to 6, demonstrated two things, at least, to the football followers. One that the four downs to make ten yards is a great help to the offense and the other that the forward pass thrown any distance will be a prominent figure in the scoring.
The Indians had little trouble in clipping of ten yards in four trials in the first quarter and successive end runs by Mhizcteno and Artichock gave Haskell the first score. The two other touch downs were made in the second quarter by Roque and Fonteill.
FRESHMEN NOTIFIED TO PURCHASE CAPS
Next Friday is Official Ap pearance Day for Dimin utive Headgear
The "open" season for freshmen is approaching and on next Friday the first year men must appear in their diminutive headgear. The announcement was made today by President Coats of the Student Council.
It has been intimated already that irastic means will be taken to see that there are no delinquent freshes. Those who have heard of the "paddle briggs" having just put in but being just what the punishment is for failure to wear the little cap.
However those who have worn the caps before say that the freshmen should consider the custom an honor rather than a disgrace. Before coming a senior one must be a freshman.
The official appearance of the capa will be at chapel a week from today. From this time on the rule will hold good and no excuses for failure to wear the distinctive head piece will be accepted by the upper classmEN.
Miss Mary Coors, a graduate of the College in 1908, of Las Vegas, New Mexico is visiting at the Pi Phi house.
PALMETTO PLEASES
First
Concert on Music Course a Success
Enrico Palmetto, "The Danish Caruso," made a very pleasing impression in the first number of the series at the home of the department in Fraser hall last night.
Signor Palmetto lived up to his reputation, *splaying a varied technique ranging from the execution of the more difficult operatic selections to the simple folk songs*. His interpretation of the simpler songs was especially pleasing, even though he was free member of the Dear Silton and other members of the Fine Arts school are unanimous in declaring the recital a decided success.
And the *Cookey Shine* PI kit, Wednesday afternoon with an automobile party followed by a "Cookey Shine" at their chapter house.

Sorority Carriage Laden With Invitations to New Girls Starts Tomorrow
At ten o'clock, a senior member from each of the five national Greek letter societies, Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Kappa Alpha Theta, Chi Omega and Alpha Delta Phi, will mount the "bid-wagon," each with uniform invitations to new girls to join their societies.
Tomorrow is official pledge day for University of Kansas sororites.
The carriage will clatter through the University district distributing the bids. And there'll be an exciting time in the wagon while each represser tries to see what its sorority is competing for with the girl they want.
Then in the words of the societies, comes the "bumping." Translated this means "pledging." And the song of the bleachers when an end on the home team makes a ninety point. Then the voice of the sororties tomorrow when the new girl steps nervously up the walk to the chapter house.

Dr. Strong Urges Students to Help Make Year Greater For K. U.
PRAISES VARSITY ATHLETICS
Permanent State Tax For University Support Advocated by Men's Council Approved in Speech
"Kansas University is facing a great and prosperous year," declared Chancellor Strong in his eleventh annual opening address to students of the University in chapel this morning. "Prospects were never better; the schools have been the greatest year in the history of h University."
The Chancellor in opening called attention first of all to the fact that this year the University presents its biennial budget for maintenance funds to the state legislature and showed the student body the financial conditions under which the University is run.
K. U. Fixed Income Meager
K. U. Fixed Income Meager Though we are one of the greatest universities in the country," he declared, "the only fixed income we have amounts to about $7,200 year—the income from public lands granted by the government for university purposes.
"A permanent tax for University purposes, such as the Men's Student Council is now advocating, is what the University needs to keep it above the dangers of shifting politics. During the last decade we have grown from 1233 students to 1400 students and increased income per capita has not kept up with the increased expense per capita for modern university education.
The Chancellor expressed himself as never better satisfied with the athletic organization of the University, and urged loyal support of all athletic enterprises.
Give State $50,000 Service.
"During the last year we did $50,-
000 worth of work for the state at the
expense of regular University work.
The legislature should recompense us
us this year."
"We are coming nearer and nearer to the ancient Greek idea of permanent athletic institutions," he declared.
University Morally Sound.
He urged students to remember that intellectual discipline is the first aim of the University, and not to neglect opportunities for self-improvement with people and the necessity of all students keeping in touch with practical life as well as maintaining a strong moral basis.
"This University is sound," declared the Chancellor. "The moral unsoundness of the effete east has not reached the University of Kan-
Immediately after his address the Chancellor left for Salina, where he will speak tonight before the Salina Country Club.
Special chapel music was furnished by Prof. C. A. Preyer and Dean C. S. Skilton.
