Methodist Wildeats Have Light Team But a Fighting Spirit
The Kansas eleven will be without the services of Simons, right half, in Saturday's game with Baker. Simons wrenched his knee in practice Wednesday night and had to be carried under the injury is not considered severe.

Coach Keri Schlaflenhamer's teams always play better as the season advances and the Methodists will come to Lawrence Saturday with a team that will fight during all four periods. The Kannas team developed a fighting spirit at Lincoln and this week's contest will be held on Thursday to get together better before the final season with the Tigers. Coach Bond will pick his Thanksgiving lineup largely by the showing against Baker
The management has announced that there will be no reserved seats at the game and all seats will be fifty cents. This will be the first general-all-public game on McCook Field this year. The game with Oklahoma two weeks ago was open only to S. A. T. C. men, because of the influenza ban,

Army Life Disgusts Pi,
Blase Helenic Mascot
"It's a dog's life," says Pi, who has been forced to move to the barracks this fall.
Poor Pi evidently finds it hard to endure the change from the comforts of the Pi Uplaion House to the barn-like barracks. The expression on Pi's countenance has changed from that og glab disinterest to one of pained dissatisfaction. Besides this, he is always on hand to accept any invitation into a warm sorority house and even walks in unbidden if a chance is given him.
Rooming House Heads To Organize Council; Request from W.S.G.A.
Woman's Organization Starts Movement to Improve Living Conditions
A request has been sent out by the council of the Women's Student Government Association for all rooming houses to form house organizations and to elect a house president in each rooming house. A house president's council will be formed, consisting of the presidents of seroviries and rooming house presidents, to meet with the council of the W. S. G. A, to do with rooming house problems and questions of student disdain.
The rooming house problem and house organization was discussed at a conference of senior women with Miss Alberta Corbina, adviser of women, and Miss Katherine Duffield, secretary of the Y. W. C. A. The plan of the house presidents' council was presented to the seniors by members of the W. S. G. A. council and was approved by them.
Formerly presidents of rooming houses were elected and worked with the council through the district leaders appointed by the vice-president of the council. Weekly meetings were held in the different rooming house districts with the leaders and faculty advisers.
The house presidents' council, the officers of the W. S. G. A. believe, will do a great deal to better roomings house conditions in Lawrence and will form the members of the W. S. G. A. into a more compact organization with more living conditions better for university students. A closer unde-standing among University women will result in more efficient self-government.
Last year district meetings gave place to knitting classes and work in the surgical dressings rooms.

Around the sides of the room there will be writing tables and benches. A wrapping desk supplied with wraping paper and twine will be in the hut for the convenience of those wishing to mail packages.
The office of the Y. M. C. A. secretary will be moved to the hut as soon as the building is finished.
Of the eight women enrolled in the School of Engineering this quarter, seven are in the architectural branch. The remaining one, Gertrude Koehring, is studying electrical engineering. All other courses offered by the University in the engineering profession are devoid of women students.
It is generally conceded, now, that a woman can do most of the work that a man ordinarily does, at least, these women think so and intend to prove it when they finish their courses and get into the work of their selection. Women students of engineering on the Hill are:
Luel Brown, Julia Carmen, Lillian Freeman, Ruth Herthel, Gertrude Koebring, Myra McLaughlin, Rose E. Muuffe and Catherine Van Keuren.

"Consequently several good voices have been omitted."
If, however, after a practice, Professor Downing finds that he can use more voices, other members will be selected by try-outs
Members of the club last year who wish to be active again this year and who were not at the try-out last Tuesday night might see professor Downing within a few days. If their work will probably be re-elected to the club.

Dr. S.J. Crumbine Forbids State Teachers' Meetings
Four Meetings Were to Have Been Held Thanksgiving Vacation
The meetings of the State Teacher's Association have been definitely called off for this year by order of Dr. S. J. Crumbine, chairman of the State Board of Health. This report came from Dean Kelley's office this morning.
The epidemic of influenza caused he dates to be postponed from November 7, 8, and 9 until Thanksgiving vacation, November 28, 29, and 0.
Four sections of the Association were to have met this year at Topeka, Salina, Hutchinson, and Pittsburg. The plan was adopted to decrease the size of each meeting and to bring the meeting nearer each section of the State.
The first Panhellenic meeting for this year was held Wednesday night at 7 o'clock, at the Sigma Kappa house. The regular time of meeting has been set for the first Monday in each month at 5 o'clock. An itemized list of expenses was handed in and referred to theATTNite. The association decided to favor a proposal to have student directories printed this year.
Panhellenic Would Have New Student Directory

Plain Tales From the Hill
"Lost—Large, flat leather purse containing about $10," someone read from the Kansan.
"Fat! f-l-a-n-a-t-t!" yelled the unpaid academic gob of the K. U, navy section. "Fa-latt, and ten bones in it." Dead pirates' treasure, but some people have queer notions of the English language."
What would suggest about the weather? It acts every morning as if it might be warmer, and then by noon it's frigid. If this plan is to be followed the entire winter, then the S. A. T. C. will surely favor early morning drill.
A new man who had attended one whole session of a math class, stepped up after it was over, and asked the professor if he had come to the right section of War Aims.
Hiking is not given in women's gymnasium work this year. The groups of earnest young women covering the ground rapidly, which decorated the campus last spring, will be missed.
A news story is going the rounds about how a sergeant stopped the kaiser in the Dutch frontier, and made him wait twenty minutes until the commandant came and gave him permission to advance. Boy, howdy, how many million men would have liked to be that sergeant!
"That phone call surely scared me," said a senior woman. "It was some stern woman's voice, and I was afraid the W. S. G. A. was going to call me up for not having dates."
If your girl lives in a cold house, as most of them do, go over to the Hostess House to have your date. 'It's always warm and pleasant there.'
Somehow the fancy dancers do not seem to stack up this year alongside the less syllabic football men and other heavies in uniform.
It is rumored that a force of extra guards will be detailed to prevent any serious disturbance at the mass meeting of the S. A. T. C. men interested in obtaining immediate discharges which is planned for I o'clock tomorrow morning in front of Green Hall. What action will be taken at the meeting could not be learned today.
Freshmen Will Elect W.S.G.A. Representatives
Election of freshman representatives to W. S. G. A. will be Friday.
Two of the four candidates will be elected by the women of the freshman class. The candidates are Tuley Louise Shepherd, Creed Sealy, Mercedes Sullivan, and Frances Phipps.
Poll will be at the entrance to the Museum, and will be open from 1 until 2 o'clock.
Anti-Typhoid Days Named
Innoculations for typhoid are being given students at the University Hospital two days a week, Wednesdays for women, Thursdays for men, that all students who haven't been inoculated see to it that they take this precaution against typhoid at once. The University hospital now has only two students as patients.
Anti-Typhoid Days Named
Old Glory on Fraser
Waves Proudly in Rain
Every morning the flag is raised on Fraser Hall, says an observing student, and when sunset comes it is lowered. Rainy days seem to make no difference. It is raised in spite of the fact that flag etiquette demands that flags be lowered during stormy weather.
Scheme for Afternoon Drill Misunderstood Says Dean F.J.Kelly
Men Will Have As Much Time Time Off As Under Present Plan
Senate May Retract Order
Plan for Second Semester May Be Changed If Men Insist
"The strong student opinion that seems to be against the idea of having the military drill in the afternoon, beginning the second term, is due to a misunderstanding of the facts," said Dean F. J. Kelly this morning. "The men in the Students' Army Trust have given the idea that the college and military authorities are trying to best them out of some of their time off."
"This is absolutely unfounded. The action was taken by the Senate upon the recommendation of the military authorities because it was thought to be the best plan, considering the health of the men in the student army training corps.
"The men will not have to get up so early. They will be required to get up in time to get their breakfast, make their bunks and get to an 8 o'clock class on time," said Dean Kolly, "Getting up at 5:45 clock in January will be no joke, but if the men are so opposed to the afternoon drilling, the action of the Senate was not final in the matter. If the men have any logical reasons for drilling in the cold frosty winter mornings, some action can surely be taken to appease them."
The reason the action on afternoon drills was taken was that it was thought that after two hours of strenuous exercise in the cold weather, when the men enter a warm class room, they will be so groggy that they will go to sleep in their classes. It was thought, too, that in severe weather, with the thermometer hovering around 10 degrees below zero, it would be better from a health stand point to hold the drills in the afternoon when the weather would be moderated some what.
"The men will have the same amount of time off in the afternoon," said Dean Kelly. "Classes will close at 3 o'clock. They will drill until 5 o'clock, and their mess will be a half an hour later than now giving them exactly the same amount of time off as the present schedule does.
"I am convinced that if a representative group of fifty men were assembled and the new system explained to them, that there would not be a man in the bunch who would be in favor of having the drill work in the mornings," he said.
Popular Plays Planned For Soldiers' Pleasure
A series of popular plays for the entertainment of the S. A. T. C. men will begin soon, Prof. Arthur MacMurray announced today. The plays will be rather short and put on by the members of the K. U. Dramatic Club, the members of which will be chosen soon.
Although principally for the entertainment of soldiers and sailors, the plays will be open to the public. They will be given at least once a month in the Little Theater in Green Hall.
Second Military Dance Set for Saturday Night
A dance will be held Saturday night at 8 o'clock at the Soldiers' and Sailors' Club, Ninth and New Hamphire Club. It will be under the ausesps of the War Camp Community Service. All K. U. women and S. A. T. C. men are invited to attend the dance, according to Miss Mary V. Morris, hostess of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Club.
The Red Cross is Mobile.
