"PUT K. U. FIRST," IS NEW HILL SLOGAN
Men's Student Council Decides By Unanimous Vote to Support Constructive Plan
Prof. Melvin Originator
NUMBER 29
Resolution Made by Organization to Enforce No Smoking in University Buildings
"Put K, U, First" is the slogan that was unanimously adopted by the Men's Student Council last night after Prof.
history had explained to the council a constructive plan which is being taken by student organizations of the University. The council has decided to teach students how to slogan and impress upon the students of the University the idea that they can make K. U. a better and bigger school if in all their dealings they合合 with the idea of the University and put their own secondary propositions.
The council also discussed the drive for the Roosevelt Memorial Fund, which started on the Hill Wednesday morning. All members of the Men's Student Council, the Woman's Student Government Association, and the Sachem Society are on the committee soliciting the students. The committee can be the donor, and which admit him to membership in the Roosevelt Memorial Association Fund. The amount to be contributed is left to the discretion of each individual. Twenty-five cents from every student of the University is the goal set, and reports from the committee chairman last night showed that the drive is well under way. The chairmen of the committees from the council are: College, Ernest W. Kugler; School of Engineering, Bill Wells;
A resolution, by which each member of the council agreed to aid in stopping smoking in University buildings, was unanimously adopted. The president seemed to realize that there is a law against smoking in University buildings," said John Monteith, president of the council, this morning. "John M. Shea, superintendent of building services in this law is being violated by a great many students, especially at the Community Dances in Robinson Gymnasium, and that if it does not be he would be compelled to forbid the use of the Grassroots Center, that the Men's Student Council take up the matter and aid in stopping the practices. As all the buildings of the University are state property, and as the state cannot carry insurance, it would be impossible for the buildings were destroyed by fire."
Among other things which the council is undertaking at present is a revision of the constitution governing the body. A committee, composed of five members from the council, and another from the board, are working at work revising the old constitution.
"We hope to make the Men's Student Council a real factor in University problems and policies," said President Monteith, "and our first step is to recruit students when completed. When completed, the new document will be submitted to the Men's Student Council, the students, and, finally to the University Senate, for ratification, after which an effort will be made to administrator"
The constitution committee consists of Marvin Harris, chairman; Rudolph Uhrlaub, Ralph Rodkey, Frank Terekli, Phillip Doddridge, Homer Herriott, and Professors Brandt, Goldsmith and Mitchell, advisers.

Saucy Snake Stirs
Super-Serene Souls
Fearing he was in the wrong pew w a forty-inch bull snake headed up the steps of the Museum Tuesday when two women students discovered him and immediately called a call for help. A member of the faculty who was passing ran up the Museum steps ahead of the snake, presumably to open the door for him. She leophed on assistance. The snake approached the entrance and hiked toward the Library.
A second woman member of the faculty flew to the media's cellar and summoned a white-garbied hero to the rescue. "He isn't one of our pets," said the doctor. "We don't want him." The answer was a snake with a handy snake catcher and after a few gentle words perused the nervous snake to go with him.

FINCH SPEAKS TO CLASS
UNCLE JIMMY IMPROVED
Tells How William Allen White
Gained National
Reputation
The article that gave William Aller White a national reputation was one that Mr. White wrote as time copy and one which he thought not worth printing, Mr. Charles Finch, editor of the Lawrence Gazette, told a class in Interpretation of News today. The article was an editorial entitled "What is the Matter with Kansas?" we are coping with. The article that gave Mr. White the reputation which he has lived up to by other writings.
"Material for paragraphs is found in the daily news columns," Mr. Finch said. Mr. Finch is the pioneer in paragraphing among Kansas newspaper men and is probably the widest quoted writer in that line. He emphasized the fact that the writer would often write paragraphs which would be widely used when they were hardly worth printing while other paragraphs which appas particularly good would be flat in print.

LABOR PROBLEM TOLD BY J. STITT WILSON
Tense with the importance of his message, J. Stitt Wilson delivered the second of his lectures on the labor course at Fraser Hall Wednesday afternoon.
"Men Disrespect Human Beings And Disregard Human Rights," Says Speaker
"When Christ appeared on this earth more than 1900 years ago the world was pagan," said Mr. Wilson, "and if pagism is to rule the world we will witness more bloody tragedies than those of the World War. Not until the forces of modernization on us make something better than money, will we see an end to our present political and labor strife."
Beginning where he left in conversation Monday morning, Mr. Wilson spoke of the social objective of the present world.
"The whole situation reduces itself to just two acts," he said. "First, men disrespect human beings, and second, men disregard human rights." "There we have the foundation and the source of our trouble. At one time Greece was the world's greatest success in architecture and in sculpture, but so-called human rights also suffered human beings and disregarded human rights. No nation can live in peace until it has come to appreciate these facts."
Mr. Wilson who was formerly a mayor of Berkley, Cal., has studied the social and the economic conditions thoroughly and is now devoting his time and energies to explaining its importance to American college students.
"There is not hope for democracy," said Mr. Wilson, "unless we accept that our first duty is to guarantee the least fortunate man a chance. It must be done. We must know how am I going to do my part?" rather than 'how am I going to earn?'
Mr. Wilson will complete his series of talks at 4:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon in Fraser Hall

WON'T PLAY HUSKERS AFTER NOV. 15 GAME
Till Nebraska is Back in Valley
It Will be Left Off
K. U. Schedule
Ames Makes Similar Ruling
Special Meeting of Athletic Board Decides to Sever All Connections
Kansas will play no more games with Nebraska in any branch of sports after the game at Lincoln November 16 unless the Hakers return to the Missouri Valley Conference. This was the decision of a special meeting of the Athletic Board called by Chancellor Strong late this morning.
The breaking off of athletic relations with Nebraska came as the result of a telegram from E. W. Stanton of the Ames Athletic Council, received by Chancellor Strong this morning, the telegram stated that the Iowa school had decided to sever relations with Nebraska and desired an expressive and open communication in the Missouri Valley. Mr. Stanton is secretary of the Missouri Valley Conference of Councils and Governing Boards.
HUSKERS WANT INTO BIG NINE
The action of the Athletic Board does not come as a surprise, and other schools in the Valley are expected to follow suit at once. Nebraska withdrew from the Valley Conference late this summer because the Conference refused to sanction a game at Omaha. Conference coaches regarded this merely as a pretext, however, as it is known Nebraska has long desired admittance into the Big Nine. Four applications from Nebraska have been approved by the Big Nine and then posed the Huskers decided their chances to get into the bigger conference would be better if they withdrew from the Valley.
The example of Ames, which seems to be followed by other Valley Schools as it was in Kansas, has a precedent in the case of Michigan several years ago. When Michigan withdrew from what was then the Big Ten, the remaining schools took similar action in enforcing an athletic boycott.
NO BASKETBALL EITHER
Though application has been received by Dr. F. G. Allen, director of athletics, for two basket ball games with Nebraska, they will not be considered as result of today's action by the Nebraska baseball game or track meet will be scheduled with Nebraska unless that school again enters the Missouri Valley Conference, should it decide to do so.
The Athletic Board does not believe other Valley schools will take any more determined stand than has been done in this election. Contracts have been signed for the games and the schedules filled. The Nebraska game at Columbia this year is Missouri's big game. C. C. Williams was elected perma-
