Tonight Will Be Last Occasion to Enroll in Lawrence Choral Union
Need No Entrance Examinations for Shorus and No Dues Are Required
Tonight will be the last opportunity for enrollment in the Lawrence Choral Church, according to a announcement made by the school this morning. The enrollment has been open for the last three weeks and has reached a total of nearly five hundred, which is expected to be increased tonight.
"This is an unusual opportunity for our students," said Dean Swearthout. "It is different from either club or choir work and should be a valuable experience for anyone who can sing."
There are no entrance examinations for the choirs, Swearthout. Only a fairly good voice and the ability to carry a given part are required. There are no dues or fees of any kind, the only expense being the cost of the two music programs which will be used during the year.
Work will begin tonight on "Manium Requiem" by Verdi. This is a great dramatic work and is a direct contrast to Handels "Messiah", according to Dean Swardtic. It will be presented sometime during the 2014 season, as well as for the "Messiah" may be secured at the meeting tonight.
Attendance record cards will be made out tonight. A new system of checking the attendance will be installed this year.

Holmes, president of the union, will appoint a nominating committee tonight to present a re-election candidate for officers this year.
The meeting will start promptly at 7:30 this evening and will close at 9, in order that everyone may hear the election returns.

Ceremony Tomorrow Will Take Place in Front of Administration Building
Mariana Gage, c$^{25}$, honorary colonel of the R. O. T. C. unit, will perform her first official duties when, in the behalf of the R. O. T. C., she will accept the flag from the Chancellor. At this part of the ceremony Chancellor Lindley will also make an appearance and this will be the first public appearance of the B. O. T. C. battalion in uniform this year.

Dean Attends Meeting
Conference of Summer Schoo Heads Held at Indiana
Dean R. A. Schweigler of the School of Education returned Sunday from the annual meeting of the National Association of Directors of Summer Schools held Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 at Bloomington, Indiana.
This meeting which is held every year during the latter part of October, is an organization of the directors of most of the larger summer schools throughout the United States. It was held at the University of Indiana.
London, Nov. 4.—Lady Nancy Astor, former Virginia beauty, may be included in the cabinet which Stanley Baldwin has prepared in articulation of a summons to form a government.
Due to the central location the attendance was unusually large, according to Dean Schweigler. Representatives attended from points as well as from the Texas Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Tennessee Arkansas and many others.
"The discussions cover every phase of the summer school work," said Dean Schwegler. "They are informal and there are no scheduled speeches."
Because of the nature of the organization, the need of all possible freedom for each individual school arising and because of the extensive range of the schools, the body takes no official actions.
Strong political influences are at work to have either the American born peers, who was elected to parliament for the fourth time, or the Duchess of Atholl, another successful woman candidate, in the next ministry. Lady Astor has had considerable political experience.
American-Born Peeress May Be Cabinet Member
The tendency of summer school attendance is distinctly an increase in the number of graduate students. There has been practically no change in the number of undergraduate students who attend summer school; the number of graduate students appears to undergo marked fluctuations. California, for instance, lost more than 1000 students last summer. Missouri gained 300, Iowa gained 760, and Nebraska gained 940 students. Compared with the year 1923, “An effort will be made to increase the enrollment of the Kansas Summer Session of 1925 to approximately 1800 students,” said Dean Schwegler.

MacDonald Resignation Will End Experiment in Labor Government
(United Press)
Ex-Premier Stanley Baldwin of Conservative Party to Take Lead
London, Nov. 4 — Great Britain's first experiment with a Labor government, which has lasted a little less than a year, came to an end to MacDonald's rebellion. MacDonald went to Buckingham Palace to place the resignation of the cabin in the hands of his sovereign Ex-president Stanley Batwin, head of the labor party, and leadership rallied to Labor after the elections of December, 1923.
Baldwin will take office with one of the most impressive majors; ever accorded a Tory government, Political observers agree that it will be four or five years before MacDonald will have another chance to govern.
The Labor cabinet held its last meeting at No. 10 Downstreet, and decided to resign. A committee reported on its inquiry into the Zinc mines, which closed classes may be expected, according to the well-informed Daily Chronicle.
The last act of the Labor government was t) establish an investigation into the sources and authenticity of the Zinoviev letter, a subservient document alleged to be spurious, which caused the MacDonald cabinet untold trouble in the closing days of the election campaign.
Elections Were "Hot" in the Days Gone by
When at the Colonne came reelin' in at 3 a.m. and lustily yelled "Harrah for Grover," awakening the entire household and insisting that the drinks were on him, Mary Ellen knew that the Democrats had won, and Chishauw would guide the destiny of the nation for the next four years.
Out in Oregon two small boys bewailed the fact that Harrison had lost. At least he might have stopped some of this blameless "shootin'," and "Ma" said something about the tariff and they knew she was right; then people just naturally vote the Republican ticket as regularly as they go to church, and it was hard 'o understand.
Long processions of men paraded unsteadily down the street, waving flags and lighted torches, stopping only when some especially cheerful brother decided that it was his turn to treat.
Today "Ma," Ferguson's and Mrs. Nellie Telley's photographs gaze at us from the all leading publications, portraying women's homely virtue, sensualness and efficiency; and it is even predicted that in a few years from now, women candidates will be as common that they will cause little comment. And who would have ever expected their "victory" would have become an issue?
This year we will sit in our comfortable homes till midnight listing to the radio returns, and possibly enjoying the freshness of sandwiches and coffee.
There will be no burning in effigy of the more unfortunate candidates, and the tickets will not run straight, because people are becoming foolish enough to "split" their tickets, and they are now playing club the other day that it was all because these "fool women" were get'in into politics.
