Maj. L. B. Roberts Serves With American Party Exploring Outer Mongolia
Major L. B. Roberts, f'12, topographer of the third Asiaite expedition of the American Museum of Natural History, does not like Mongolian camels—in fact, he told friends Friday afternoon that he sometimes felt like murdering the beasts wholesale. "They are not the dromedaries of Arabia, but are big, double-humped animals, who eat sage and garlic, and their company manner are not all that they should be.
"These camels are great burden bearers, and carry a load of 400 pounds with ease—that is, to the camel, not to the load. Camels are the roughest riding creatures on land or sea, but without them we could never have covered the country as we did."
Major Roberts spoke at 3:30 Friday afternoon to a group of University students and faculty members in the lecture room of Waworth hall. He also spoke at the University Club Friday evening on methods of modern scientific exploration, the organization of an exploratory trip, and the hands of the people outter Mongolian, and some of the results of his trix.
Andrews Heads Expedition
The expedition was headed by Roy Chapman Andrew, world famous explorer, who landed in San Francisco Thursday, nearly a week later than other members of his party.
The trip was highly successful, according to Major Roberts, from both the archaeological and paleontological departments of the back, several dinosaur eggs, and maps and moving pictures of great scientific value. Among the moving picture films obtained was a photo of a dinosaur's skeleton which covered about thirty-five mikes.
The party obtained specimens of some very rare animals, according to the explorer, and is bringing back specimens of mountain sheep, ibex, antelope and wild ass. The specimens of ibex obtained by the expedition was the fifth shot by a white man, and a baby wild ass was roped by Major Roberts after a chase of 12 miles at a speed of 35 miles an hour.

"There is no specimen of the wild anis in any zoo in the world. In size the wild anis is about equal to our own domesticated horse, larger than the wild camel and smaller than the donkey which we know. For transportation, we used autos as far as we could get through with them, but then we had to use camels. We followed some of the oldest trails in the world on our way into the desert, lined with the bones of camels which have perished in past ages.
Expedition Sent to China
"This expedition, which was sent out to China by the American Museum of Natural History of New York and "Asia" magazine, has been highly successful. Henry Fairfield Osborn, president of the museum, was instrumented in sending out the expedition.
"Mr. Andrews, hold the expedition, led a party into Tibet, southwestern China and Bengal, northwestern China and outer Mongolia in 1919; and the expedition from which we are returning set out for central Asia in 1921."
Major Roberts was a member of the track team while in the University in 1908-11. He is a member of the Acacia fraternity.
Jayhawkers to Dedicate Nebraska's Field House
The Jayhawker basketball team will dedicate the new Nebraska field house when they meet the Nebraska team Feb. 6 in the first game to be played in it. When completed the team will have a seating capacity of 0,000.
According to Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics, the field house is becoming popular in the large college sports facilities that would be constructed at many of the Missouri Valley schools. "With the increasing interests in basketball, a building capable of seating around 800 people would soon pay for itself," he said.

This is the largest club which K. U. has had in recent years. The group consists of 14 first tenors, 12 second tenors, 13 first basses, and 12 second basses. The club also has two accompanists who alternate in playing.
There are 26 new men on the club this year. Nine of the first tenors are new, as are five of the second tenors, four of the first basses, six of the second basses and both of the accompaniers.
Troffes for the tristate debate between Iowa, Missouri, and Kansas will be held in the Littleton Theater in Green hall, Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 7:30 p.m. The question will be based on the World Court. Each speaker will be given five minutes for constructive argument and two minutes for rebuttal.
"The club is working hard for the joint concert," Wright says, "and we will be ready to hold our own in the comparison which will naturally be made between our club and the Missourians, who won the Missouri Valley contest last spring, and placed third in the national contests in New York.
"Without question the boys from Tigertown make up one of the best glee clubs in the country. Their personnel this year is practically the same as that of their prize winning team and those fellows know how to sing."
"The K, U.-M, U. joint glee club concert will start early enough to avoid conflict with the big rally and might which will follow the concert."

Annual Conference of High School Editors to Be Held Nov. 13-14
Many Round Table Discussion Planned by Department of Journalism
Plans for the program of round tables and meetings for the seventh annual conference of high school editors at the University of Kauai, are progressing. The department, which will follow closely the plans of other years, will be held Nov. 13 and 14. It was found necessary to hold the conference at a later date this year, because of conflicting events on the campus. The important principle which will be developed during the meeting are:
1. That the high school newspaper may be a "real news paper" meriting the approval of the most critical newspaper men.
2. That there are certain sound principles by which a high school newspaper may insure its success in a business way.
3. That the high school newspaper is a real factor in promoting the best interests of the school it represents.
Two hundred delegates were present at this conference last year and the housing committee expects as many this year. It has been found necessary to restrict the number of delegates to three, a policy one teacher from each school.
The delegates themselves will have opportunity to participate in the discussion of these points, as talks by the students, in addition to those by the teachers. The delegates will be bounced by the various fraternity and sorority houses. Entertainment will be provided for them in the form of a sight seeing tour of K. U. conducted by guides, a dinner given by the K. U. Press Club on Friday evening, followed by an informal program and announcement of awards of the contest, and the opportunity to see the gridraph reproduction of the Kansas-Grinnell football game which will be held on Saturday

Crafton Speaks at Forum
"How to Read a Play and Why' Is Subjest Discussed
"How to Read a Play and Why," was discussed by Prof. J. Allen Crafton at the Women's Forum Thursday. "Emotions are the essential part of our life," he said. Today we are smothering them, as I have done in several months of facts. We are devoting ourselves to principles.
"Plays are not read today because they are not enjoyed. To intelligently read a play the reader must be imitative. We learn to know which is not there. And he must feel the thoughts in the lines. We are contented with light reading. The vaudeville show so well depicts the temps of our life. We think in
"Play reading is good personal cultivation. To read a play one must be imaginative. He must be also emotional to appreciate the lines and scenes. Plays are the history of emotional life and to realize them we must imagine them and feel them. Play reading is a most essential part of education. Ideas are emotions and ideals lead our lives. Play reading allows us to the square of the hypotense equals the square of the other two sides. But they do die for the ideals imperformed by Joan of Arc and Edith Cavell.
"Any one can become a master of
pursuits, but only those who cultivate
and live the emotions can realize the
titer and really the best. Every one
has emotions and he can cultivate
them." Linda Foster calls
"vate your emotions read J. M. Bar-
lee's plays. He knows how to culti-
ate the emotions."

University Seal Sought by Investigation Body Named by Chancellor
Official Emblem Lost in 1885 and Regents' Sign Used Since Then
Radioiscovery of the official University seal is the problem now confronting an investigation committee recently appointed by Chancellor E H. Lindley. The official University seal has been out of use for some time, and in its stead the seal being obscured by the Board of Respects has been used.
That the seal was in use between the periods of 1865 and 1885, is the opinion of George O. Foster, registrar, and chairman of the seal investigation committee. Mr. Foster, in collaboration with the other members of the commission, will be present at all of the Board of Reget's meetings during that time, in an effort to discover the makeup of the original design.
"The University seal," said Mr Foster, "should be used on diplomas and University records as well as the existing Board of Regent's seal."
The personnel of the committee is appointed by the Chancellor is as follows: F. E. Malin, professor of history; A. T. Walker, professor of Latin; Rosemary Ketchan, professor of history; Robert B. Chester, director of Watson Library.
A committee was appointed several years ago for the designing of a new University seal, but for official reaffirmation it was not taken on the report.

Rain Makes Field Soggy
Baker, Starr and Hart Feature in Clarkmen's Attempt at Sooner Goal
(Special to Kammo by Rex Fletcher, Sport
Edition.)
In the third period the Clark machine took the offensive and repeatedly threatened the Oklahoma goal, but the southerners were equal to the task and Kansas failed to register. Shortly after the start of the second half, a series of passes and bucks carried the ball to the Sooner 1-foot line.
Oklahoma on Offense at First
Owen Field, Norman, Nov. 7.
—Potsy Clark's battered Jayhawkers came to life here this afternoon, and fought the powerful Sooners to a scoreless tie.
During the first half the Oklahoma held the ball in Kansas territory continuously. On the second play after the kick off Lamb made a trudge of 65 yards which placed the oval on the Jayhawk 7-yard line.
Four bucks at the Kansas forward wall produced only 6 yards. Anderson punted out of danger as the quarter ended, but again the Sooners came back to spare. Kansas exhibited a strong attack at the start of the second half with 45 points, a Starr to Wellman, was completed for 23 yards, and a Kansas score seemed imminent.
The Sooners held for downs, and punted out of danger. Kansas tried some more passes and runs but to no avail and Wall was inserted for Mackie to place a kick. The try was short from the 39-yard line.
Kansas Hopes Sink
A bad break near the end of the third quarter capped Kansas hopes to sink as Anderson, punting from behind the ball, drove in a pass from the center and had his kick partially blocked. Oklahoma recovering the ball on the Kansas 24-yard line, with Anderson running down to gain the necessary parade and Anderson punted out of danger.
During the rest of the second half amas hold the ball in Oklahoma territory, but didn't threaten to score.
For the Jawahars, Hart and Starr did great work in the backfield, with H. Baker and Voights playing a whole of a game in the line. Time after time, in the second half the Kansas team had its backs in reverse, by breaking through and dumping the runner before the play got under way.
Lamb Starrs for Owen Tennant
Lamb was the star performer for Owen Tennant's performance, punting and carried the ball for constant gains, besides his spectacular 65-yard run. In the line, Roy Lecroose and Lamb performed well for the Sooners.
The statistics show the difference in the two teams to be slight. Oklahoma gained 141 yards from scrimmage, but this included Lamb's long run.
Kansas gained 97 yards from serim-
image, and the first down gave the
Kansas 5 and Oklahoma 6.
The day was dark and closely, and a cowl of about ten thousand people stood. It was Honecimbe's day for gymnastics, strong as in attendance. The field as soggy from a 24-hour rain and either team was able to show any skill.
