GLEE CLUB ASKING FOR NEW K. U. SONG
Now Only Two Selections Suit able for Male Voices In Chorus
Originality Most Desired
We Do Not Want to Sing the Songs of Other Colleges, Says Professor Kendrie
Only one dark spot brightens the outlook of the University Glee Club. They cannot find enough songs—K. U. songs—to make even one program About the only songs which are a "Alm Mater" and "Old K. U."
"The need is absolutely unimaginable," said Prof. F. E. Kendrie, "A university receives a large part of its publicity through its clue club. I write to the students of a school in K. U. go out over the state唱歌 of the other schools.
"Anyone having an inspiration is urged to come to the assistance of his school and write a song full of joy. The songs are desired. Original music is preferred. Any Fine Arts student will be glad to receive any composition. If the songs are suitable they will be taken in trips which the Glee Club will take."
At the Glee Club meeting Wednesday night, John Wahlstedt was elected manager and W. C. Anderson, assistant manager. There are forty-four men in the Glee Club now, including the new members: H. D. Fitzner, C. V. Kettering, John O. Peterson, M. S. Campbell, Carl Campbell, D. B. Wang, D. B. Wang.
"The club showed wonderful promotion the first rehearsal," said Professor Kendle this morning. "There is every reason to be<sup>11</sup> that this year will be a most awful one for the Glee Club." In a short time the tryout for the leak will be held. The person who tei the role should be the best, audition in the theatre, be the conduct the songs and take the responsibility of the concerts. There will be a string rehearsal of the University Orchestra in Fraser Hall at 7:30 tonight, wif'truff from 6:30 to 7:30.

WILSON STIRS DENVER BY HIS TREATY SPEECH
Hyphens are the Knives Being Stuck in This Document," Says President
Auditorium, Denver, Sept. 25. "Typhuses are the knives that are being stuck into this document," President Wilson charged today in a speech demanding acceptance of the peace treaty.
He made with emphasis the accusation that "outside legislative halls" the only organized opposition to the treaty came from the same forces that favored Germany in the war. There is no question of reservation towards the treaty, he said. The issue is flatly, acceptance or rejection.
Acceptance means insurance against war, he declared, "and that's worth the whole game."
"UNDER BOND TO MOTHERS"
There was a tremendous demonstration when he said he was under bond to the mothers, wives, and sweet-hearts of America to do all possible another war in the next generation.
"The children are my clients," he cried.
Declaring the league of nations was 88 per cent insurance against war, he said "that is what I want over to do" and that "if they knew and that is what I brought back."
"YOU BET, WOODY," shouts of "You bet, Woodrow." "We are with you, old boy," filled the air. The cheers subsided, then broke out "You are," who chose chosen spokesmen, "shouted a woman in the audience."
A demonstration which continued several minutes with the people jumping on chairs, broke out when Wilson was sitting and then rejoiced in the face of the people of the United States.
If America stays out of the treaty, this country must have the largest army in the world with huge taxes, universal conscription and a military air force. It would be a dark run such a machine with a debating society," said the President.
More applaus broke out when he confidently, with a wave of his hand, declared America would never stand for such a condition.
Students are still enrolling, and Registrar George O. Foster asks many more to enroll in the next few weeks. Many are also changing courses, owing to the fact that advisers were not properly informed about changes in course requirements, being withdrawn and changes made in certain departments caused by changes by students.

Plain Tales From The Hill
BOTTEN THEY FLAIRS—NOT TICKS
Have you noticed it—the old clock on the wall has caused many a student to look at his watch and wonder if the time he carried was correct or not? The hands of this old relic have stood at 10:50 o'clock many months but last summer the old Ingersoll gained five minutes in the hands now say that it is 4 o'clock. How many ticks it took to move the hands five hours it would be hard to estimate for it was not the mechanical clock ticks that moved the hands. The old tower is inhibited by bats and the ticks on the jiceons are the only ones that can account for it.
"Those Phi Pais are beginning to get my goat," said an nr student who drives his own. " they're the one who's driving me the taxi service out of every passing fluffer. I go to school that way two a day, and they always make a side-door Pullman out of my bus. It's hard to rouse my fighting blood."

Building to be Community Center—Dancing on Bill For This Week
Miss Alberta Corbin, adviser of women, and the two student councils are making elaborate plans for a new kind of entertainment for the students of the University. "Last year," says Miss Corbin, "the Student Interest Committee, composed of ten faculty members, has been amended that Robinson Gymnasium be thrown open every Friday night for informal entertainments. They recommended to the Men's Student Council and the Women's Student Government Association that they undertake the project. As a result of this the two student councils have formed the gymnasium every Friday night to students and faculty for informal entertainments and a minimum cost."
Next Friday night the entertainment will be principally dancing and the gymnasium will be thrown open as a community center. The cost of Frida's night's entertainment will be $30,000 in shoes, and probably will be less in time.
