Memorial Stadium Will Have Addition of New Sections
Stands on Site of McCook Field; Many Problems Were Presented In Building
The history of the Memorial stadium is an interesting story. It was conceived as a part of the Union Memorial project, which also included a statue of "Uclee Jimmy" Green, and a large Union building, which will soon be under construction in memorial form. But they lived in the World War. Enough money had been secured in 1921 to erect six sections of the stadium.
Numerous difficulties had to be overcome, before the actual work on construction could begin. Because there was not room on the old McCook field for so large a structure, a new site farther west was selected, and it was covered with railings and ballows铺. A small creek flowed diagonally across the site. A large drain big enough for a man to walk in was laid under the field, and this now carries off the water draining north from Mount Orenad. The entire football field is underlaid with a crisscross of drainage pipes that surround the turf is laid. This absorbs the water and dries the field quickly after a rain.
The first section of the stadium cost $288,000, but it proved insufficient for the needs of K. U., because no dressing rooms were provided for the players. Visiting teams as well as our own men, were not furnished with proper conveniences. So the athletic officials decided last spring that we should have an oldition to our stadium that would be furnished and would put her on an equal with other valley schools. A corporation was formed by the athletic association so that it could hold property.
FOUR PAGES
The Athletic Corporation agreed to build the new sections, issuing bonds and later retiring them with money received from games. The improvement was approved over to the Union Memorial Corporation when paid for.
Several legal problems had to be overcome. The land was held in the name of three organizations, the State of Kansas, the Union Memorial Corporation and the K. U. Endowment Association, which is an organization that receives gifts from people whose perplexities have been solved, however, and a bigger and better K. U. stadium will soon be a reality.

Homecoming Novelties Will Be Placed on Sale
The stickers which were made by the Milwaukee Label and Seal company, are printed in Crimson and Black on the sticker to kick the ball at the bottom.
Stickers advertising Homecoming have been received at the memorial office and will soon be placed on sale. Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Memorial Corporation, conceived the idea of having stickers made to woo would advertise not only K- U, but also the other features of homecoming.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MONDAY, SEPT. 21, 1925
The date is given and the Homecoming motto, "When Old Timmers Get Together" is included. The stickers will be sold at the museum office and probably by some student organizations. The memorial office has purchased 1000 for its own use and the athletic office will have its own set of stickers. The price is for 10 cents or 100 for 69 cents and the committee hopes that students will take advantage of this opportunity to advertise their school.

R. O. T.C. Planning Big Program for the Rifle Teams
Tryout for Crack Squads of Men and Women Is Set; Women Ask Sweaters
Troupe for the men's rife team Oct. 1, and for the girls' rife team Nov. 1, will start the new program planned by the department of military science and tactics for the R. O. T. C. rive teams for the coming year. There will be three teams, scheduled to engage in more than fifty matches.
At present the department is planning to have more targets set up in the snow cover range located in the basement of Fowler shops as soon as the needed space is provided. The addition is being made to do away with the conjection which resulted during the trivets last year.
A course in rifle shooting for freshmen will be started Oct. 1. under the guidance of instructors, the purpose of the course, which is open to all freshmen members of the R. O. T. C. unit, is to pick out the best shots and give them an opportunity to make the most of the team. Freshmen will receive a fee, have made it last year.
Plan Indoor Targets
Practices for all the teams will continue until the first of January. After that time matches for both the boys and girls are scheduled for every week until the middle of April. When the final eliminations, Jan. 1, are over, 25 students will be on each team. Of those, three students will be selected previous to each match, will shoot. The ten highest of the scores made and witnessed by an officer in the regular army will be wired and compelled to be made by the competing school.
May Give Women Sweaters
Although it is not yet known for a certainty, it is probable that the women making the ten highest scores will receive awards this year. Since there is no fund for the women's team, such as that levied on the members of the R. O. T. C. unity to cover losses, they have to be raised by the members of the team. Last year over 250 women turned out for the trystoys, and a larger number is expected to try and win this year. These will be cut down to 50 the first of December. January 15 of these girls will be selected to take part in the tournament been elected captain of the women's team for the coming season.
The captain for the men's team is Thomas Hinton, who was high point man in the matches last year. As yet the eligible letter men back this year are not known. But according to Sergeant Palmer there are enough here to form the nucleus of a strong team.
Skilton Dedicates Organ

University Orchestra to Hold Rehearsal Tuesday Afternoon
Several Positions Still Open
Says Prof. Kuesteiner;
Need Bassoon
The third rehearsal of the University orchestra will be held Tuesday afternoon according to Prof. Karl Kueisterstein, directeur de la orchestra in progressing nicely and the attendance at both rehearals has been exceptionally good." Professor Kueisterstein and another assistant director for the first two practices.
The orchestra at the present time is working on three very difficult selection including "G. Minor Symphony" of Mozart, "Merry Wives of Winchester" by Nicoll and "Marie-Marie" by Schubert, Professor Kretterian is very well pleased with the result and is getting good results.
Must Label All Parcels
All of the sections are very well filled although a few more instruments are needed. Professor Kueper has been teaching me a bass player and that he would like to get in touch with any person who plays such an instrument. It is probable that a few more instruments would be necessary for orchestration during the next few days.
Some new music has been ordered by the new director and it is expected to be here in a few days so the orchestra can begin working on it at once. The "Egyptian Ballad" will be one of the new pieces. Practices will be held each Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 and Thursday evening at 5:30, where the audience will not be necessary for the practices to be held longer than the scheduled time." Professor Kürteiner said.
Students are becoming careless about their mail, according to R. C. Abraham, postmaster on the Hill. They forget that parcels must be labeled with identification before the package can be mailed. All fragile articles must be securely wrapped to avoid possible damage in handling and transporting. The service cannot be responsible for damage of labeled, wrapped or labeled, Mr. Abraham said.
"Students Becoming Careless in Mailing," Says Abraham
Mr. Abraham further declares that postmasters do not ask questions about things students seek to mail for either manner of curiosity. It is far more likely that argument regulations and thereby avoid possible legal difficulties.
There were more than 100 laundry bags alone mailed at the University post office last Friday. "Care in the preparation of all articles for mailing and distribution, and a trouble for every one concerned, concluded the postmaster."
Army Air Service Inadequate, Davis Tells Commission
bays Combat Forces Mus
Be Organized For War
Not Peace Time
Operation
---
Washington, Sept. 21—The army air service equipment is inadequate in number and part of it, built during the war, unsatisfactory in condition, Acting-Secretary of War Davis told the president's national aircraft commission at its opening session here today.
Lack of funds, due to the economy, policies of the administration, is the cause of this condition, which can be remedied only by money, Davis
"I can see no reason to be panicky about this condition," Davis said, adding that in the way department the air service appropriation in recent years has been "consistently favored, sometimes at the expense of other services."
Mitchell Plan Opposed
The Mitchell plan for a unified national defense was combated by the acting war chief with a quotation from Secretary of War Week's statement before a congressional committee interview. "Weeks, whose illness has kept him away from his desk for the last four months," said at that time: "In my opinion, no organization should be set up under which it will be allowed to answer another application to another department for tools required to conduct its operations. I believe the present organization under the national defenses, without providing for an air service as an integral part of the army, is sound and should
Combat Forces for War
Combat Forces for War
"Our combat forces must be organized in the most efficient manner for war and not for peace time administration and operation." Davis wrote of the mission to "this air into the air defences of the country by this board of disinterested citizens."
"In carrying out its serious respon-
sibility for the national defense," he said, "the war department is morally obligated to take action if necessary but must be backed up by hard facts, the law consideration must be given; the costly experience of the past weighing speculations as to the future of this country; and changes alone is unjustifiable."
All war department studies, record, and reports, whether public, confidential or secret, are at the disposal if the committee, Davis said.
Directory Being Finished
Students Are Urged to Recor Permanent Addresses
George O. Foster, University registrar, has issued his call for the filing of Lawrence addresses. The student directory is nailing completeness. The Rosedale student groups are made up the copy will go to press.
Students who do not have then permanent addresses in Lawrence filed at the registrar's office some time in the next few weeks, will find a block after their name in the directory. This is because the university not only to the University authorities but to the student concerned.
So far this year many long distance calls and telegrams have come to the registrar's office for some student whose address is unknown. The registrar is helpless to direct the change to the right party, in such cases.
There are also many students who have changed their Lawrence addresses since registering. They must also file their new addresses at the office if they wish to have them in the 1925 directory.

Men and Women Maintain Stand in Price Fight
Council Puzzle of Attendees
of W. S. Gustafson Court
Dispute. Plaintiff
to Be Same
The battle lines of the variety dance "price fight" are drawing tighter. Both the Men's Student Council and the Women's Governing Association declare they are right in the stand that they take. Both organizations say it will be right to the finish.
Jacqueline Custie, vice-president of W. S. G. A., said this morning, "We do not care whether the men charge 75 cents or 25 cents for variety items such as tickets, price of tickets, but rather it is the principle of the thing. The man have not the right to go ahead and act on such matters without the cooperation of the W. S. G. A. The Model office is acting uncommonsolidated."
W. S. G. A. Meets Tonight
The W. S. G. A. will meet in regular session tonight. The Moe's Store will be closed Tuesday at the Commons today. The executive staff of the council met last night in a special session. Paul Rieths, president of the council, refused today to disclose the nature of those meetings. However, he implied that were being laid out, to win the fight.
"What puzzles the members of the council," and Riemiens this morning, "are the issues that are at stake. We do not know whether the women have had an opportunity or whether they dislike the men's action in this regard and want to run the Men's Student Council. By matter of precedent, the council has always wielded the variety dimness we believe we should continue to do so.
Continue to Sell at 75 Cents
"We shall continue to sell tickets to the varsity dancers at 72nd and $1.25," declared Ed Killip today, "This is an experiment on the part of the council, and, if we can make it this price, we will not charge more."
The Men's Student Council will meet in regular session Wednesday evening at 7:30, according to Bob Hall, secretary. "The regular fall elections are to be held according to schedule on Oct. 24." He announced that the final list of nominations must be on my hands or before Thursday, Sept. 24."
