Miss Lynn and A. F. Thurna
Elected Members of Disc-
ciplinary Committee
Faculty Committees Read
Prof. Margaret Lynn and Prof. A. F. Thurunn were elected at Tuesday's meeting of the Senate to places on the Discipline Committee e, made vacant by Dr. A. T. Walor and Prof. Eugen Galoo. Proo or Walker and Professor Galloo were nominated again, but refused further service on the committee. Each said that three members of the committee was enough.
Petition from Band for Credit Referred to the Different Schools
The University Senate met Tuesday afternoon in its first regular meeting of the year and after attending to the usual order of work there was a brief discussion of the paddling and near-paddling incidents Tuesday, when students compelled Raymond P. Henze to dive into Potter Lake after having to wear the cap and had been chased to the top of Fraser Hall.
The petition from the University Band asking scholastic credit for work on the band was received and referred to the different schools. In brief discussion the Senate expressed an apparent appreciation of the services of the band men but was at loss as to how to adjust the questions asked by the members of the band, since all work is undertaken on national level in excellent or faithfully performed, does not qualify or train in engineering, pharmacy, medicine or some other professions.
The assignment of faculty members to different committees was read and with one or two exceptions, which were the chancellor's cabinet, were adopted.
GOV. ALLEN JOINS FIGHT FOR K.U. DORMITORIES
Governor Allen Proposes State
Erect Dormitories at All
Large State Schools
The Governor said in part: "The erection of dormitories would put social life of the students in the first year under proper regulations. The teachers should be the leading role in the student life of some of the Kansas institutions of learning is causing deep concern on the part of educators. It is felt by some that this tendency is given impetus just now by the fact that students have been taught to live in the first year of their school life before they have time to adjust their lives to the new conditions. They come immediately out of homes and are thrown into a whirlpool of activities which divert their minds and minds."
Governor Henry Allen is making an effort to alleviate congested roaming situations in Lawrence Manhattan and other Kansas towns where the state schools are situated. He proposes that the state erect dormitories in each of the large schools where housing conditions are now a big problem. Governor Allen believes that erection of these dormitories would put a ban on students living outside the dorm life at the larger state schools, which is now causing deep concern on the part of educators. He refers particularly to first year students
The governor suggests that the legislature could pass a law authorizing national institutions to issue bonds for the construction of dormitories. The income of the dormitories should be pledged to create an annual sinking fund to pay bonds when due and pay a reasonable per cent of interest.
Alcohol Beverages Are Banned
Alcohol Reevers Are Banned Washington, Oct. 6- With an effort to reduce the use of alcohol on a committee report on the prohibition enforcement bill, Prohibition leaders expected the House to approve the bill without delay. Beverages containing more than one per cent of alcohol are banned by the bill.
Fine Arts Get 20 Planes.
The merits of advertising were revealed when the School of Fine Arts advertised for the use of private planes. About twenty instruments were obtained in this manner.

"Uncle Jimmy" Green
Favors Cap System
"Uncle Jimmy" Green believes the freshmen are sorely in need of all the attention they are likely to get. "If those freshmen mark up the walk with their numbers they should have to get down on their knees and clean themselves with a thing else that would do such a thing should be treated the same way.
"What do those numbers mean to the freshman class," Uncle Jimmy asked. "Probably the entire freshmen. They don't know out of the freshmen caps there would be no way to identify them no way for them to recognize each other as classmates. Without this mark of recognition their number, 28, will not be recognized when they will have finished their college course. Still some of them object to wearing the cap. That cap should be a benefit to everyone concerned."
cerned. It is not a badge of servitude but a college custom. It is practised in most colleges.
"The women should have some badge to identify them, too. Not a cap—a bow of some specified color would serve the purpose. This would tend to cultivate college spirit and confidence." The fact is a very important factor in college life and anyone who refuses to wear it should be paddled."

W. S.G.A. Proposes Change
Two-Thirds Vote of. Women
Necessary to Bring
About Rule
A mass meeting of University women to discuss the changing of the closing hour for all rooming houses and sorority houses from 10 o'clock to 10:30 o'clock will be held in Fraser Chapel at 1:430 o'clock Thursday afternoon. A vote will be taken to determine the closing hour.
"A two-thirds vote of the entire enrollment of University women will be necessary to change the closing hour to 10:30," Rila Hammat said today. "The change was proposed by the Women's Student Government Association that students might remain at the library until it closes, and still have access to their houses before the closing hour. Under the old rule this is impossible for 'students who live several blocks from the library.'"
Representatives from the *A. women* organizations, Y. W. C. A. Forum and W. A. A. will outline their plans for the Women's Organization in the aim of the organization. Nalle Reeva Evana will represent the Y. W. C. A. Lillian Cottrell will represent the Forum and Doris Drought will talk about her campaign membership of the W. A. A.
Chancellor Strong will give a short talk to the women and Miss Alberta Corbin, adviser of women, will speak about the importance of University of Kansas." Rilla Hammat, president of the W. S. G.

[AME "CO-OP" HOUSE]
Women Want To Have Distinctive Signs on Eating Houses
"A name should be given the co-operative house," say many women stuents and members of the faculty "since there is to be more than one such house, there must be a distinctive name for each."
A committee has been appointed to select a name for the "co-op" house. It has been stated that they will prohibit him or upon one by the last of the week.
Several names have been suggested for the house, but whether any of them will be accepted is uncertain. Since it is Kansas house, several of the women have suggested that they should be named name which means "friendship."
A name that has been suggested for the second co-operative house, which is being remolled, is Campus G. It is situated on the university campus.
Some sentiment has arisen to name it The Lucy McLinden house, in memory of the woman student who gave her life here last year during the influenza epidemic in volunteer nursing.
"We want a name that will show the spirit of the house and also be suitable for Kansas," said Miss Merciar. Monday.
Hygiene lectures for first-year men wore begin last week. The lectures are given weekly by Dr. Naismith in the gymnasium.
Female Gobs At K. U. Far From Regulation
Salty ears would be shocked to note the evident discrepacy and diarragia manifested by K. U. women for regulation navy blouses as evidenced by their wearing wimps imitations. Crowns roost on either arm with indifference. Hash marks run at haphazard and rival the rainbow in brilliancy and variation of colors. A family of stars—red, yellow, and even black—instead of the two white paternal originals, rise out of the blue backside. The skin of the hand subsist the narrow modest stripes of braid which border the collar. The only way these misappropriations can be condoned is that those who wear them have never ever smelled a breeze from the bifw deep.
F. C. ALLEN TO SPEAK AT Y.M.C.A. THURSDAY

CHEM CLUBS ARE FUSED
The Aim Of Club Is To Bind School and Commerce Together
R. F. Buffington, president of the old Chemistry Club, says that the aim of the club this year is to read literature of a technical nature in journals which have to deal with up-to-date discoveries about line and to connect in a scientific way with the chemical course studied in school.
The Chemistry Club which met and organized October 6 is an outgrowth of two pre-war clubs, the Chemical Engineering Society and the Chemistry Department Club. These clubs were dormant since the spring of 1918.

SOX REMAIN IN RACE BY 4 TO 1 VICTORY
Eddie Cicotte Comes Back
Last Year
This Year
Hard Hitting and the Old Fight Decided Seventh Game For Chicago
FOR GOOD MEASURE
After Reuther and Fischer had Retired Luque Went In For Reds
Fisher who had relieved Salle in turn gave way to Lauque of Cuba who had the Sox at his mercy the first of the game. The Reds were dangerously outplayed by Smashs by Groh and Duncan in the sixth sent Rohe across for Cincy's only run. The Reds rallied in the ninth. After two were down Wingo and Mague, battled for Lauque, both McGee, batting for Lauque, singled.
Batteries: Chicago. Cotee and a
Schalk; Cincinnati, Sallee and Wingo.
Fisher and Laupe finished the game
for Cincinnati.
The fifth was Chicago's big imitation when they broke the heart of Salliee. Eddie Collins cracked a single to center. Then the Red infield which heretofore had performed heroically, blew up. Groh fumbled Weaver's offering and Murray did the same when he came into contact with the reaction. Fech then unloaded a single to right, scoring Eddie Collins and Weaver.

Chi 101 020 000 4 10 1
Cin 000 001 000 1 3 4
Chicago's White Sox faced their supremest test today on Redland Field. Faced with an adverse game score of 4 to 2 supported by the belief that they recovered their batting eye and by the satisfaction of having come from behind yesterday, the Sox were ready for the Reds.
(Word and Drawing)
Redland Field, Cincinnati, Oct. 8,
The fighting of the Sox triumphed
again today and Chicago took the soo
victory from the Reds in Iowa a score of 4 to 1.
**APPLAUSED WING 802**
The Reds need one more game to win the championship of the world. Over-confidence yesterday lost the big plum at Toronto, and a resounding cording to Pat Moran the Reds have come back to earth to face realities.
When Kid Gleason walked out behind the men the band played "What's the Matter With Father," and the Kid waved his hand and grinned. A nice applause greeted the Sox when they went out for their hitty practice.
The day was bright and sunny with an almost cloudless sky. There was a rather chilly breeze but altogether it was a good baseball day. At game time the stands were not much more than half filled, Unertainty as to the outcome of the game was believed to be responsible for the comparatively poor turnout.
Eddie Cicotte came back today. The little veteran worked coolly and effectively through a hard game, though frequently in danger he had just missed. He then went to Reds. The Sox attack which had been missing in the series till yesterday was effective again today. Gleason's men bunched hit and delivered in the pinches. The punch was there and the ball was delivered to desperate ball players who won today.
The Box lost no time in attacking John Collins who got 3 hits today delivered a liner to single to start the collision and scored when Jackson singled. Collins started the third inning attack with a single through the box, Eddie Collins beat out an infield hit and Jackson again came through with
In the lineup Felsch is in right field J. Collins in center field.

Less than half of this increase is devoted to telegraph news. It is thrown in for good measure and because the readers of the paper wish to keep up with the world news and have a right to demand that their paper give it to them—that it be an all-round newspaper, as good or a little better than any other college daily.
Note-book Substituting Penalizes Pre-medic
Disciplining of a pre-medic student was reported by the Disciplinary Committee at the Senate meeting in October 2014. He found guilty of submitting as his own last spring in a class in physics the note book of another student. He was failed in the course and given an additional five hours requirement for graduation.

CARS PARKED ON GRASS
Hopes to Have Driveways Paved and Curbed by Next Summer
"Students should have the—what shall I say?—common decency to keep their cars off of the grass," declared John Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds, this morning. "The very ones who are doing this the most, are the ones who would kick the loudest if any one would treat their laws in this way. We can not prevent it, it seems, until we have all the drives curbed. We hope that we will be able to work on them in the spring. Meanwhile, I fear much of the grass will be ruined."
Mr. Sheen hoped that they would be able to pave some of the driveways next summer. In front of the Chemistry Building the ground has been washed into gullies where the grass has been killed in places. It is fast being killed in front of the Administration Building.
Teachers are Discovering Education Opportunities
The School of Education is offering unusual opportunities for obtaining the degree of B. S., Dean F. J. Kelley of school education, said this morning.
"Students in the University are apparently just discovering," said Dean Kelly, "that the School of Education has a special purpose of training superintendents, principals and high school teachers. This curriculum allows certain opportunities not provided for in the degree of A.B. in the College.
"Furthermore, prospective superintendents may take in addition to the fundamental courses required of all teachers additional educational courses especially designed to prepare (or administration of a city school system).
"In the same way teachers may take courses to prepare for teaching normal training subjects in high school, or they may take work in music and drawing and count it to graduation from the University."

Men Go On Record Against Indiscriminate Paddling Of Freshmen
Rumors are afloat about the campus that the University Senate favors expelling from the University a number of men who were leaders of the band of students who ducked Raymond Hawkins in Potter Lake Tuesday afternoon.
WILL ATTEMPT TO SETTLE MATTER
Chancellor Strong said today that, although the Senate had a meeting and the matter discussed in a general way yesterday afternoon no such action was taken there. Another meeting was set for 4:30 o'clock today, at which time the matter was to be considered further.
At a conference between Chancellor Strong and some of the men at the chancellor's office today, Chancellor Strong gave his word he would do all in his power to have the matter settled in such a way as to avoid further disturbance in the University, which at this time, he feels, would be hardly a threat. The men while maintaining firmly that the freshman cap tradition should be preserved and maintained would exert all their influence against intisferinate paddling of freshmen who wear their caps.
