Doc Yak of the Missouri Valley Medicine Show, new fashioned medicine man with all the old time pep, was secured after much time and trouble by Joe Schwarz, to demonstrate his marvelous powers for the benefit of the new business. He used a set of scissors to concoct strange mixtures such as will prove absolutely deadly to the "Aggle Cow" and at the same time act as a toe warming tonic to the team. If every student and professor at the warning whistle of 12:00 o'clock does not shake the toe, the temperature from their body space over to the meeting-ground, it is rumored a role which made, and all delinquents punished.

Think Local Man Broke Victory Cafe Window
Payment of the damage done to the Victory Cafe after the night shirt parade October 10 may not devolve on the University if the police of Lawrence are good as detectives, according to members of the joint committee from the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and the University. The police are hot after the town man who is supposed to have thrown the cafe was caught in the act of the cafe, and if it can be proven that he, and not a student, caused the damage, the University will not have to stand the damage.
According to a certified statement by Nicholas Ficho, owner of the Victory, the total damage amounted to $150. If the University does have an insurance, it will probably be collected by volunteer contributions from students.
CELEBRATED SINGER APPEARS TONIGHT
Frieda Hempel Travels Half Way Across Continent to
Sing Here
From Lawrence, Mass., toLawrence, Kans., is the distanceFriedHempel, lyric soprano, traveled to a jaypear in concert in Robinson Gymnamum tonight. Miss Hempel arrived iLawrence yesterday morning.
"You know it is not fair to the people to give a concert every day. They have a right to hear a singer at her best. I always plan to arrive in a city the day before the concert, and to spend the time resting.
"This is the first time I was ever in Kannas," continued Miss Hempel, "except last year when I sang at lindborg. I hope to make many friends here." She sang in the West on this tour. We go from here to Charlotteville, Va."
Miss Hempel received her musical education in Europe, but has been in the United States the last seven years. The Metropolitan Grand Opera Company.
"This is my first tour when not with grand opera," said Miss Hempel. "I am certainly enjoying it, and one has such interesting experiences. Wednesday morning I noticed on the train a poor farmer who was eating crackers and cheese for his breakfast, so I offered him an apple. This pleasant experience he described where I had raised it. Evidently he supposed I too was a farmer."
Miss Hempel is a golf enthusiast and has the ambition to become an expert player. She is also a hiker of swimming, and likes to hike. While on a twenty-mile hike in the Canadian Rockies last summer she sprained her ankle severely and was unable to walk for some time.
When asked what audience she preferred to sing before Miss Hempel replied that the American audiences were by far the most appreciative.
"Why, even the small towns in America can afford to have expensive artists, where in Europe this would not be possible. I love the college audiences, too. They are supplicative, and so full of enthusiasm. I have been looking forward to my concert with them, and I feel pleased that I have had the opportunity to appear before a college audience." Miss Hempel will be assisted in her concert by Conrad Bos, pianist, and A. Rodeman, fuitist.
