Opportunities for additional training for students to prepare for work in oil fields will be offered by the School of Engineering, as a result of steps taken at a meeting of the faculty of the School of Engineering Tuesday afternoon, according to Dean F. P. Walker.
It was also decided to offer additional training in railway mechanical engineering.
Courses Often Called For
Mr. Walker said concerning the additional opportunities, "For several years there have been calls for a course in petroleum engineering. The mining engineering and geology departments have provided for proxies of labor, training, work in the production, pipe line, and refining branches. The oil business is settling down to a more stable basis where scientific methods are more necessary for profitable operation of the industry. The workers will be needed for the industry."
"In Kansas the oil business has become one of the largest of productive enterprise, outside of meat packing and flour milling. Several neighboring states have provided for this work in their engineering schools where they have has worked in the opinion of the Kansas school, give more attention to this branch.
Many Men Already in Field
"The School of Engineering has sent many men into oil fields. Graduates from the regular mining, mechanical, electrical and chemical courses have made their way successfully. The necessary work has been given, so the new enterprise does not involve additional teaching work in material amount. What is to be offered is mainly a new grouping of courses so that oil men, and students wishing to enter that industry, may know that Kanaas is providing the desired training. The new schedule is a combination of engineering, chemical engineering, Students will continue to graduate as either mechanical or miners, taking the same degrees as in the man."

Language Teachers Are Needed, Shown by Demand
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1924
"There is a strong demand for teachers of the languages, both classical and modern, and vocational subjects," said Prof. W. H. Johnson of the appointment bureau. "The modern tendency is to stress the vocabulary of a language, and appreciate the worth of the ancient languages."
"Because of the steady level of salaries, this is a dull season for the employment bureau and the teaching profession does not change from year to year. To plan for it, the salary raises, the teachers change their positions in order to get better salaries. During the past year, salaries dropped slightly. The appointment bureau is preparing a complete report on the employment situation in this region. This report will be ready for publication soon after Thanksgiving.

Council Condemns Limit of Activity by Point System
Varsity Dances Show Profit
of $850 for Present
Term, Manager
Reports.
The Men's' Student Council, in its meeting at 7:30 Wednesday night in Green Hall, decided that the present point system of grading men in their activities was inadequate. In addition, they were aware that who could very well enter more activities than the present point system will allow. Several men, who are participants in a major sport and bene have a maximum number of points to be awarded. They have been allowed to enter additional activities in spite of the present ruling. The Council is strongly in favor of a point system for grading men in their activities but realizes that the system is very unfair and unsatisfactory.
"It is at present a worthless piece of rubbish that should be completely removed," Wallace James, president of the Men's Student Council, today. A committee of seven men was appointed to work on the revision of the code.
Vernon Kenney, manager of the varsity dances for the Men's Student Council, reported a net profit of $10,250 from so far this semester. Kenney intends to continue giving two varsities a week if it can get both F. A. and Edekel he for the occasion and Edekel the attendance can support them.
The Mens' Student Council authorized the printing of 3,000 copies of the by-laws of the Council. The constitution of the council requires that each male student be printed and distributed for each male student in the University. At present, no definite plan for distributing these has been decided upon. Efforts will be made to see that in the (*t* diversity receives a copy).
The council discussed methods for pushing the sale of the K. U. photograph records bearing the songs I'm A Jayhawk, and The Alma Mater. At present a relatively small number of these records has been sold and the council is eager to see how many more can be made. The council has been hacking the sale of the records ever since their production last year.

"The Romantic Age" Wins Response From All Ages, Says Coach
Leads Filled by New Talen Will Be Well Supported by Minor Parts
"The cast for "The Romantic Age" is one of the best ever chosen on the Hill," said Mrs. Myrtele M. Bair, coach this morning. "Two strong leads well supported by minor partas make the play a near-professional production with a dramatic finish enabled in unrepeat presentations."
The part of the heroine, Melisandre, is taken by a woman who was studied extensively in the Dillenbock School of Expression. The man who takes the-part of Gervase, the hero, owes from Tulsa, Okla., where he has played in Shakespearean plays, having gained particular recognition for his work on *Macbeth*. This newly discovered talent combines with the excellence of the cast as a whole to make a personnel of unusual ability.
"The part of Ern, the little feeble-minded boy, is an unusual and intercourse character part, and Elosia has made this part well." Arei. Bair added.
All committees are hard at work with the various phases of the presentation. This promises that everything will be in readiness when the play is presented at the Brownsock theater Monday night, Nov. 3.
"The Romantic Age" is absolutely different from any other play ever presented in this part of the country. Its appeal is universal, and promotes an appreciation for the "pneumatic" to the "rheumatic age," Professor Crafton predicts. It offers a particularly good opportunity for individual interpretation of
"There is still time for new groups to organize, if there are any desire to do so," said Mary Lepis Rutanberg, chairman of the Bible study of the Y. W. C. A.

Economists Hold Smoker Quality Not Quantity Is Aim Says Dean Stockton
Thirty-five students of the School of Business attended a smoker given at the Alpha Kappa Pai house Wednesday night. The purpose of the meeting was to allow the students in the school to become better acquainted with each other and with the instructors.
Dean Stockton gave a short talk relating the history of the business school and expressing a desire that the school here would have in a few years as large or longer attendance than other schools on the campus. He said that although he is an互咨 to see the School of Business grow rapidly it would not sacrifice quality of instruction. The stockton's talk the instructors in the department were given a few minutes in which to express their opinions concerning the new school. All seemed to think that the school would be as great a success here as it has been in other universities.

English Conservatives Swamp Labor Party Huge Numbers Voted
Several Million Women's Ballots Turned Tide of General Election
(United Press)
London, Oct. 30—Conservatives have swept the election, and will have a majority of 85 saints in the next parliament. Labor sustained severe defeat, many of the leaders going down before the Conservative landscape, but they will constitute the official opposition in the next parliament. They are likely to be m.p., with prospects of holding well on 400 when results are all tabulated. Voters who gave Great Britain its first Government 10 months ago, turned from Ramsey MacDonald and his colleagues to the Conservation of Baldwin. Several million more women went to the polls throughout England, north Ireland, Scotland and Wales than overturned Labour's majority and to their vote much of the Conservative success is attributed.
The voting everywhere was extremely heavy, probably constituting a record, more than 80 per cent of the electorate turning out. By night, about 75% voted in 20 years had been cast, and 95% were still hurrying to the polls.
The Women's Representative party held an open meeting last night in Fraser hall for the purpose of introducing the candidates endorsed by the party for the W. S. G. A. elections next Wednesday.

A Hard Battie Says Clark
Coach George Clark and
Marcus Holmes hit the nigh-
tly hard battle from Washington. All press dispatches and clippings we have received this year indicate that the Pilfers have been pointing their team for this one game. They are out to get even for the terrible 13-9 loss our team had last year, and it will improve drastically be a hard fight.
"The spirit of the student body and players has been excellent this year," continued coach Clark. "In fact, it is much better than I have ever seen before. There has been great progress in some complaining, but mostly from older alumni who have privately lost money on the team or who do not understand the conditions. Anyone can be a good winner, but it takes a better man to be a good loser. No one wants to be a loser but when you are a loser, coaches and coaches must have the spirit of sportsmanship. But the law of averages ought to begin to take hold right soon and I think we will win."
Backfield to be Sailor
The probable line-up announced by the team will be:
Testerman or Sanborn, left end;
Smith, left tackle; Haley, left guard;
Davidson at center; Taylor or Ruseil Smith at right guard; Hardy or Madillins at right tackle; William Anastasia at left tackle; Alex Hodges at halbucks; Alex Hodges at quarter and Cainn Burt at tail.
A possible shift in the backfield line-up will place Burt and Starr at bulbacks, Hart at fall, and Hodges in. In event of such a change, Hiley will be called back from the line to punt.
The following are the men who will make the trip: Testerman, Smith, Haley, Davidson, Russell Smith, Mallina, W. Anderson, Wendelson, Zuben, Burt, Hart, Powers, Sanborn, Halpin, Clond, Taylor, Hard, H. Baker, Waters, Starr, Lindley, Isett, Woolls, Nona Saylor.
