Major Diasmose Alter Hopes To Eestablish National Organization
Plans for the local organization of Lawrence reserve corps officers of the army, navy, and marine corps, will be formulated at a dinner to be given at the Eldridge Hotel Friday evening from 6 o'clock to 7:30. This will probably be the first chapter of an officer's training in the officers, and all officers on the inactive list living in Lawrence should be at the dinner.
It is expected that one half of those present will be University students and professors, and the remainder local men who are on the reserve. You will receive an $100 dollar. Immediately following the formation of this local organization on definite lines, Major Dinnore After, who has charge of the first steps of the work, expects a national event to take place, and is confident of its success.
The meetings here, which are > or be monthly, will be preceded by a dinner, followed by papers on military subjects showing the inter-relation of the different branches of the army or addresses by noted army officers either on the reserve or active list. The discussion will include recent army legislation, changes in regular general officers and ordinance changes, will be discussed.
Major Alter believes there is a real future in this organization, which will strengthen the moral of reserve officers by improving the growth of military interests. He expects and desires that all reserve officers be present Friday night, and assures them the meeting will be for them to keep o'er engagements.
Women Should Reserve Gym Lockers Immediately

K.U. BAND WILL PLAY FOR REMAINING GAMES
Had Decided to Strike at Mis souri Game if Credits Were Not Granted
Band Helps Win Games
Have Still Another Plan to Se
secure Credit if This
One Fails
The K. U. Band will play at the remaining football games this season including the Missouri game according to Merton T. Akers chairman of the band committee for credit. This conclusion was reached this morning after a conference between a represeent and Forrest C. Allen director of athletics.
"The band first decided to strike at the Missouri game if the faculty did not grant the credit but on further consideration we feel that the strike will be working a hardship on the football team and the student body especially if we strike at the Missouri game. We realize that the band is a very powerful force, so we have a game and in keeping up of the spirits of the team and for this reason we do not like to strike at this time," said Akers.
"However we no not want the students or the faculty to think that we have dropped the fight for credit for we are just getting started. If the plan that is before the Deans of the schools now is ignored or turned down, we still have another plan to present," continued Akers.
"The band is the most important agency in winning a football game that I know of," and Dr. Forrest C. Allen said of the 2015 national "and the athletic Association wants the K. U. Band to play at the rest of the games this season but we cannot afford to take the band to Washburn University or play the band plays at the Missouri game."
The football team is strongly in favor of the band playing at Washburn and Nebraska according to "Scrubby" Laslett captain of the队.
That the student body is behind the hand is a foregone conclusion according to Joe Schwartz cheerleader.
"We certainly wish their support and they help us to keep up our spirits when going is hard," continued Lassett.

COLD CLOSES MUSEUM
Not Open On Sundays Despite State Law to Contrary Says Bunker
"People ask every day, why the Museum is closed on Sundays," said Charles D. Bunker, the tacdemist in that building this morning. "Permission was secured last night by the museum's trustee from Chancellor Srtong to close the Museum with some idea, possibly of saved fuel. "It was closed then regardless of the fact that there is a state law requiring all museums and libraries to open."
Mr. Bunker went on to say that no real saving was effected, however, seeing that there are no offices to be heated and the visitors are constantly on the move, making very little heat necessary in the museum and Sunday afternoon is the only time that many people are free to visit the Museum. People visiting Lawrence and the University always wish to be shown the Museum above all other points of interest. The exhibits on the three floors well deserve this special attention.

Topaka, Oct. 16. — Charges that the Kansas state oil inspection department was nothing more or less than a political graft, were made today by Governor Allen in his announcement that the department was to be abolished, a consequence of a basis which would be of some benefit to the general public.
"The department as it operates today accomplishes nothing but furnishing job to the employees of the office," said Governor Allen.

Joe Schwarz, cheerleader.
Five or more special cars for K. U. students who attend the Washburn-K. U. campus leave a downtown station sometime Saturday morning, announced Joe Schwarz, cheerleader, this morning. A special train was first considered, but on account of the fact that all the cars would need to return immediately after the gate caused this proposal to be abandoned.
The fare amounts to eighty-five cents each way, and the admission to the game is one dollar for bleacher seats, and fifty cents more for reserved seating. The special section of bleachers assigned a blue-ball opposite the Washburn rooters.
The train with the special student cars will be the same one that carries the Varsity and freshman squads, and the band. Pep will be generated in all possible forms before and during the game, according to Schwarz.
From a general consensus of students this morning, a big majority of the men, and many of the women will be at the game, and a number like too many to give K. U. a bigger number of roots that the Washburn students.

Bombardier Fights Again In Effort to Come Back
London, Oct. 16—"Bombarlier" Billy Wells, who lost the British heavyweight title to Joe Beckett, challenger of Jack Dempsey, several months ago, started out again here tonight to prove that the saying, "That never come back," is all wrong. Wells was scheduled to clash twenty rounds with Jack Curphey, who had a lack of cleverness by possessing this. This is the second time Wells has attempted a "come-back." The first time was after he was beaten by George Carpenter. Wells made good and climbed back to the top, but slipped when he "picked" on Beckett. If Wells wins, and the betting is two to one he will, he may be matched with Fred Fulton, who has most scrappers worried Fulton should have little trouble knocking Wells off his feet in quick order.
