Worst Storm of Year Hits Lawrence, Stopping Car and Telephone Service
Lawrence suffered one of the worst storms of the year yesterday when nearly three inches of rain accompanied by a wind of great velocity hit the city. The various public utilities suffered the greatest loss, while the city in general was strenued with broken limbs and fallen trunks. The University was apparently in the hands of storms only damage was a few torn trees.
The Kansas Electric Power Company reported the most casualties from the storm. Service on pruning was delayed most of the afternoon on account of falling trees. Near Eighth and Indiana streets, a large maple tree fell directly across the tracks and was not removed before evacuation.
Fallen Trees Halt Cars

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1024
Publication of Student Directory Is Uncertain
Directory Is Uncertain
On account of insufficient printing fund for the University of Kansas, the state printer can not print the student directory for this year as has been customary in the past, according the Geo. O. Foster, registrar, who has charge of the publishing of the directory.
"I have several ideas from which I am endeavoring to formulate some plan of publishing a directory, because it is an essential of the University," said Mr. Foster, "I feel certain that we will distribute a directory to the students in some form."
The registrar said that the University catalog and other printed material had practically depleted the inadequate print fund.
Freshman Gridsters to Start Scrimmaging Thursday, Says Bunn
Men Taught Plays and Shifts of Varsity's Opponents in Practice
"The freshman football squad will start its first real scrimmaging Thursday," said John Bunn, freshman coach, this morning. So far Dunn has been drilling the freshmen on the basic principles and funda-ments of football, and in several trying to get the men in ships for scrimming.
The last week of practice has been devoted entirely to signal-running, falling on the ball, "spiking," and getting into the "feel" of the ball. Coach Bunn wants to get his men in fair condition before he sends them into any really strenuous work and thus cut the number of football casualties a minimum in the freshman squad. "I hope to scrimmage my freshmen," coach Bunn said of this week, provided Coach Clark of the varsity is willing," he added. "So far freshman practice has been more or less broken by freshman meetings or lectures that had to be attended, but from now on we have played fewer games and days on Saturday. The back-field works out in the morning and the line in the afternoon," said Coach Bunn in regard to freshman practice. He does not intend to cut the squad, at present there are about 100 players.
The first game for the varsity is with Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College and Coach Burn has been drilling his most potent weapon. Oklahoma's the most prominent and probably the most dangerous of the plays is what is known as the Minnesota shift and Burn is taking spectacle. He executes it to perfection so the varsity can really see what it is like.
Concert Tickets Go Fast
Increase in Sales Over Preceding Years Expected
Sales of tickets for the University concert course continues steadily, according to D. M. Swarthaw, dean of the School of Fine Arts. No figures on the number of seats said are yet available, but Dean Swarthaw believes the number of reservations will surpass last year's mark.
"Because of the prominence of the artists to be heard, and the variety of numbers, many students are taken on a trip to the University today. "Each year has seen an increase in the number of students attending the concerts, as they are fast beginning to realize their importance in the life of the University."
"Many Jayhawkers took advantage of this opportunity last year," said Dean Swarthout. "There is a large number of regular patrons who have not made reservations for the course and which offers a big field for ticket sales."
Students financially pressed may attend the eight concerts by selling ten season tickets.
Details of the offer may be secured at the fine arts office.

University Women Form New System of Organizations
Every Woman Student Wil
Be a Member of an
Organized Social
Group
A new system by which every woman student in the University will be a member of an organized social group will be put into effect by W. S. G. A, the later part of this week. The university's research team which has been used with unusual success by the University of Illinois has never before been tried in Kansas.
The plan provides for a number of groups of fifteen members each, who shall not be women included in any other organization such as a sorority, co-operative house or dormitory. Geographical location will be the chief consideration in arranging the groups, although after the system has started, transfers from one group to another may be made. Sororities, the dormitory, and co-operation themselves, so that all the women of the student body will belong to the group organization. Tressie May, c2S, has been selected by W. S. G. A. to head the organization.
The activities of the groups will be mostly social. They will hold dances, teas, breakfasts, lunches, hikes, and all other kinds of social affairs. Arrangements will be made for competition between groups in music contexts, decoration for homecoming, and schedule making.
Competition in Athletics
Each group will hold regular Monday night meetings just as the securities do. Meetings will be held in one of the houses in the neighborhood. Officers will be elected early next week.
Names Selected by Members
To aid in the organization, every house in which more than five women live is asked to organize before an event. A house which has not yet organized is asked to turn in the name of the president, address, and phone number, to Tressia May at Dean Hushada's office. The names of the new groups will be selected by the members. Suggestions from the University of Illinois include names of mythological characters or historical events. Organization will be well underway by the end of the week.

Council Leaders to Start Initial Rally Procession
Numbers of Organizations Will March as Units From Green Hall to Stadium
Feature to Be a Surprise
Under the leadership of Kathleen O'Donnell, president of the W. S. G. A., Wallace James, president of the Man's Student Council, and "Bob" Roberts, cheerboard, plans are under way for one of the most significant events in the life of the University this year, according to a statement from the office of the chancellor this morning.
Feature to be a Surprise
The exact nature of the affair has not been disclosed, and are complete to the last detail. The first event, in which faculty members and students will participate, will be a procession from the "Uncle Jusky" jamboree to the stadium at the Sashaia Junction, Kaun, Ka U's, and the R. O. T. C. will march as units. The order of tax war h will be as follows: speakers, faculty, rew student, Sashaie K., K's, K's, Ka U's, R. O. T. C. and old students.
The procession will leave the status promptly at 6:30 p. m. tomorrow.
All organizations have been requested to have dinner early enough to enable all the members to join the program.
The program will close promptly at 8.
A survive, as yet unveiled, is in store for all at the stadium. It is known, however, that the best talent of the University will participate in the program. The speakers who will be in the academic garb, will include the three faculty members who are probably most in demand over the state for commencement and special addresses, and two guest speakers from the professors of the manhood and womanhood of the University. At the same time, the captains of the four major girls will be introduced.
Initiation in Store
Something new in the form of an initiation is in store for the new students and faculty members. This will be all the more impressive, according to the chancellor's statement, if these new arrivals are surrounded by the two thousand or more old students.
"This can become one of the most beautiful traditions of the University," said Channell Lionder Ohm morning, "if the faculty lumbered off and burned out heartedly into the spirit of the occasion, as I am sure they will."
A loud speaker will be installed and special lighting will add to the effect of the program.
