Claribel Lupton, president of the Women's Student Government Association, has called a council meeting to be held in room 110 Fraser hall this afternoon at 5 o'clock.
All women students, by registration in the University become members of the Association. A voluntary contribution of twenty-five cents is required annually from each member, and money is for a scholarship fund.
The Association established an information bureau in Robinson gymnasium, for the accommodation of students during registration week.
"We have had all sorts of questions asked us," said Miss Lupton, "from the price of gym suits to the price of rooms. Lots of people want to know where to register. The old students don't always know, but they are too proud to ask. One boy rushed up to a locked door and hurled himself against it so hard that he threw him back about a foot. Then he came meekly up to the table and asked where to register
"We told him."

COACH STARTS SEASON WITH SEVEN "K"MEN
Tutor Mosse Sounds First Call for Turnout of Squad Tomorrow
THINGS LOOK REAL ROSEATE
Captain Brownlee, Davis, Bramwell, Burnham, Price and Weidline Veterans in Line of Battle
With seven "K" men here ready for work Coach Arthur St. Leger Mosse has called the first football practice of the season for tomorrow afternoon at McCook field. Mosse will be assisted by Leonard Frank, former tackle at the University of Minnesota in his work of starting the Jayhawkers in their toil.
"I want every man to be in football clothes at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon," Coach Mosse said this morning. "The sooner we get to work the quicker we will have a football team."
But The Coach is Silent.
But The Coach is Silent.
This is all the Kansas mentor has to say but he smiled an answer of confidence to the query about a Vic. This is why he knows who know about the Coach's smile will know that the Jayhawkers will be the hardest proposition Missouri and Nebraska ever tackled.
The dope promises well at this time. Captain Brownlee is on the job and with him are six other veterans. They are Davis, Bramwell, Coolidge, Burnham, Price, and Weldline. With these men as a nucleus of the Kansas team will have strong and Hatcher of last year's Freshman team are here and are expected to develop into aggressive players.
Nig Butter Still Missing.
There is but one disappointment in the list of last year's Freshmen and that is in the fact that "Nig" Butler will not be in the ranks this year. Magill, of last year's varsity squad, will be another strong contender for a line position.
Coach Mosse already is facing a problem and that is in the back field for this year. However all the veterans except Coolidge are line men so it will be necessary to develop some new backs. Martin of last year's Freshman team gives promise of a success, but the general other aspirants will be tried. Holliday, who was forced out of last year's Varsity squad on account of sickness will be a strong candidate for a half back position.
Star at Full-back Returns.
Stucree, who was a find in the full back position early last year but was not able to play on account of illness, will be出 tomorrow.
"bunny" Wilson, of last year's
squad also will be ready for work
thursday.
Two weeks from Saturday the first "Rock Chalk" will be heard on McCook field, the occasion being the first game of the season between St. Louis and Oakland in the definite line can be obtained on the real strength of the Jayhawkers.
THEY'LL STUDY MICROBOLOGY
A new course of lectures on microbiology and public health was announced this afternoon by Prof. P ranges of the department of botany.
Delaire, end and punter of last year's team will be in school this year but will not be able to play football on account of being ineligible. He played professional baseball all year in the Central Kansas league.
Latest Course in the Little Fellows Announced For This Year

Chancellor Greets New Students
I accept with pleasure the opportunity offered by the Daily Kansan for a word of greeting to the students of the University.
To the Students of the University of Kansas:
Everything points to a prosperous year. Nothing more is needed to accomplish large results than a thoroughly loyal and united feeling on the part of the student body and the faculty of the University. The approaching session of the legislature will give an opportunity for the University as a whole to express itself in a manner that will assist in securing what is necessary for progressive action and large advancement in the life of the institution
I take this opportunity to give a word of counsel to the students who are coming here for the first time that they exercise self control and judgment in regard to what they make the important features in their first year of University life. It is wise that they should be slow in making intimate friends should take time for seasoned judgment in regard to the intellectual, social and fraternity life of the institution, and should seek above all to make their first year, from the standpoint of spiritual and scholarly life, a fine foundation for their succeeding college years.
To those who have been students at the University before I wish to say that their efforts toward sound self government have been keenly appreciated by the administration of the University and their conservative action in supporting a reasonable discipline of the institution has been worthy of high praise. I urge them also to the use of caution in their judgments and to disinterested loyalty for the highest and best things in the life of the institution that is placing its impress upon them
FRANK STRONG, Chancellor.
YOU MAY CALL HIM "DEAR" BUT DON'T TRY "DEAREST"
Mr. Foster was quietly turning over the early mail when he singed his fingers on the burning words. When he had recovered from the shock, with blistered hands he boldly attacked the letter again. He read it more carefully Then he turned the sheet over.
STUDIES HORSE PLAGUE
To be addressed as "Dearest" and to receive a part of a tender love letter in a feminine hand among the ordinary epistles from prospective students was included among this morning's thrilling experiences of Registrar George O. Foster.
Prof. S. J. Hunter, of the entomology department, is in Dodge City this week, attending a congress of veterinarians which has convened for the purpose of studying the plague that has been killing thousands of Kansas horses the last few weeks.
Professor Hunter Attends Congress of Veterinarians at Dodge City
*Send the Daily Kansan Home.
Upon the back he found a sane in quiry from a father about some uni versity courses for his daughter.
Professor Hunter expects to do some entomological work in connection with the disease.
For, he explains to prove his points, if these had not been true, the head of the family would have observed that the sheet of paper that he selected for his letter had already been used.
That the parent is near-sighted, is the belief of Mr. Foster. That his child is careless with the half-finished notes that she writes to her gentleman friend, is his second deduction.
WOODBURYS STILL WINNING
Mr. Foster is married.
Former Jayhawker Stars Capture One First and Two Seconds
"Tod" and "Buzz" Woodbury, former K. U. track stars, collected several valuable points for the Kansas State Buckeyes. A. U. meet in St. Louis Saturday.

INVITES CHURCH PRINCE
Chancellor Asks Cardina Gibbons to Address Students On Kansas Visit
His Eminence, Cardinal Gibbons, primate of the Catholic church in America, will receive an invitation today from Chancellor Frank Strong to address the students of the University of Kansas following his visit to Wichita where he will dedicate a cathedral next week.
If Cardinal Gibbons should decide to visit Lawrence, he would be entertained by the campus branch of the Knights of Columbus and would speak before a special chapel gathering.
Cardinal Gibbons is known as the "grand old man" of American Catholicism and has been a prince of the church for more than 26 years. He was invested with the red hat in 1886 by Pope Leo XIII. Twenty-five years ago, he preached his famous sermon in Rome defending the American system of divorcing Church and State. Although he opposed the war with Spain, he ordered prayers for the success of the nation upon the breaking out of hostilities.

'A Banner Year, Breaking All Records," Says Registrar Foster
437 STUDENTS THE FIRST DAY
Many Are Transferring From Other Schools—Sale of Athletic Tickets The Only Disappointment.
"The largest in the history of the University," said Registrar George O. Foster today when asked what he thought the final registration for this year would be. "Four hundred and thirty-seven registered yesterday, four hundred and records and we have been working steadily all day.. I expect the total to be twenty-six hundred students.
"There is also a big increase in students who have advanced standing," continued Mr. Foster, "That transferring from other schools."
Mr. Foster said that he was unable to notice any difference from former years in the relative number of young women and young men.
The only disappointment in connection with the registration thus far is the apathy shown by the students in regard to the athletic tickets. On noun today but one hundred and one tickets had been sold and six of these were genuine tickets, while three hundred and ninety-five students out of about six hundred and sixty-five or one in seven have purchased tickets.
The athletic ticket this year is a seventeen dollar value for five dollars. It admits one to forty stu-
dents. The football team Missouri-Kansas football frame.
Enrollment begins tomorrow. The faculty believes that the plan that has been adopted this year is the best they have ever had. Every one will enroll in the gymnasium. Registration will continue on the second floor and the lower floor will be given over to enrollment in classes.
Those in charge are of the opinion that a great number of students can be handled this way in a short time and that the confusion that has been prevalent in former years will be absent.
K. U. MAY HEAR T. R.
Col. Would Follow Pres. and Gov.in Students' Candidate Series
Should Col. Roosevelt accept an invitation to speak on the campus sent him last night by Chancellor Frank Strong, Kansas students will have had an opportunity of sizing up in person three candidates for the presidency.
President Taft and Gov. Woodrow Wilson stopped off at Lawrence while on western tours last year and were the guests of the students on Mount Oread. Roosevelt will swing through Kansas this month on his return from the Pacific coast.
