STUDENTS STILL SCOUR COUNTRY
No Trace of Mrs. Cochrane Had Not Been Found at Noon Today
FOLKS NEAR BREAKDOWN
Father is at the Point of Death in Denver—Husband in Serious Condition
The search that began yesterday afternoon for any clue as to the whereabouts of Mrs. Cochrane was continued again today by the engineering classes under the leadership of Professor J. Haskell and the Haskell Indians joined in the search this afternoon. Several reports had been turned in that a woman answering to Mrs. Cochrane's description was seen running on the campus last Thursday, but these stories are probably nothing but rumors without any facts. Very people even claim to have seen her.
Mrs. Cochrane the other sister from Denver arrived today. She came from Dodge City where she had been following the false clue. She will return to Denver tonight as her mother in law will be there, and the other sister only remains here because she believes she is needed here more than in Denver.
A wire was received from Fresno, Calif., this afternoon from the sheriff saying that a woman answering the description of Mrs. Cochrane had been found there. This evidence may not be altogether false as she has been known to say that if she ever went to teach she would go to a friend of hers in San Diego, the wife of former Dean Marvin, who has two brothers in Fresno. Every effort will be bent to find if this clue is correct.
Professor Cochran is on the verge of a very serious breakdown. He has been under a constant nervous strain since a week ago yesterday.
Mrs. Cochrane's father is very ill in Denver and it is hoped that if she is alive and well and should learn of her father's serious condition she would reveal herself. Her father is 78 years old.
The Lawrence police are bending every effort to find something that will help clear up the mystery. The are making preparations to have the river dragged as soon as possible The reward of $100 offered by Professor Cochrane and another of an equal amount by him has been raised. If nothing is heard of the missing woman soon Professor Cochrane will have poster printed and distributed over the stat and along all country roads.

Freshman Forced to Bow and Labor for Upperclass-
The Laws were anazed this morning to find the walks in front of their sanctum profusely decorated by large black '20's. But consternation soon gave place to action. Soon a freshman ambled toward Green Hall.
"Get him! Get him! Make him scrub it off!" yelled the incensed followers of Uncle Jimmy as they led, none too gently, the wearer of the little cap toward the scene of the sacrilege.
UNIVERSITY OF KANGAS THURSDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 2, 1916.
Other freshmen were quickly commanded to assist the original captive. With sticks, rocks, and rags, the '20 men, surrounded by the legal talent of the Hill, went humbly down upon their knees and worked with great vigor to remove the offensive characters.
"Get some sand," advised some genius as he noted the slow progress
Then the laborers, under duress of the paddle, were compelled to grovel in the dirt of the road for scrubbing sand. With sand and scraping shoe paint, was effectively effaced before the beginning of the next class hour.

SLIDE SERVICE BENEFITS MANY
Extension Division Has Ninety Sets in Regular Use in State
Reports covering the first six weeks of the slide service provide by the Extension Division show that forty-seven thousand persons over the state have been benefited by the service. This service extends throughout the nine months of the school year and includes more than 12 from 12 sets of slides in 1912, which were sent out irregularly on request, to its present organized basis with an equipment of ninety sets of slides, fifty-three of which are used on three systematized circuits, with the remaining sets used to satisfy requests for special occasions. Ministers, Sunday school classes, church organization, and university clubs as a group, the continual users of these sets which go out by special request, while the users on the circuits consist principally of schools that use them either for class work or for evening entertainments. This latter is true principally of the small towns where principally of the small towns where such pieces come many expressively colored slides cover historical, scientific, agricultural, travel, and recreational subjects.
Some of the films which the Division is able to furnish are: Paul Revere's Ride, the Ride of Abraham Lincoln, The Star Spangled Banner, Ivaneh, Odyssey, Old Curiosity Shop, Nicholas Nickley, Vicar of Wakefield, The Man in a Winkle, the Meat Industry, The Manufacture of Steel Rails, of Silk, or Rugs, of Shoes, and the Manufacture of Clothing
Closely connected with the slide service, though newer, and a service which will grow as the schools are able to equip themselves with the moving picture machines, is the film service. Films are sent out, three times to program; one reel purely educational in nature, one historical, one literary.
The set entitled, Fairies' Halloween,
is popular just now. "Old Folks'
Christmas" is a set which has been
used to satisfy a seasonal demand.

WILL VOTE ON PRESIDENT
Is Students' First Opportunity to Show National Preference
The direction of the blow of the Political Wind will be determined tomorrow by a straw vote to be taken after convoction in the gym tomorrow. Especially prepared ballots have been prepared in The Kananan Library. Ballots are made for a number of extra ushers to distribute and collect the ballots.
Only two names will be printed on the ballot—those of the heads of the two main parties. There will be no objection, however, to writing in the names of the Prohibition or the Socialist candidate.
The decision to make a straw ballot for president was reached this morning after special requests from a number of students and faculty members. The presidents of both the Huguenot and Toucan colleges step, and Chancellor Strong expressed himself heartily in favor of the ballot.
The idea of taking straw ballots in the larger colleges and universities has been followed in all parts of the country. The University of Kansas is one of the last to take the vote, and as in most of the colleges the ballot will be close. Both Hughes and Wilson Clubs are claiming victory for their respective candidates in the straw vote as well as in the official ballot.

Men's Student Council to Raise Money for Publishing Book
STATE PRINTER DOUBTFUL
*printer Without Appropriation for Carrying on
Work
The question as to whether or not University men and women will have student directories this year was discussed and partially acted upon by the Men's Student Council last night in Fraser Hall. It is doubtful, according to Chancellor Strong, as to whether State Provisional can furnish student directories this year because of lack of appropriation.
It was decided at the meeting last night, that if the University was unaware of a book which a book would be issued under the direction of the Student Council. The necessary finance to do this would have been given in series of dances given by the Council.
"The student directory is a very valuable and important feature to University students," said President Greene. "The names, street addresses, classifications, and home addresses are all included in this student list. Information regarding the University has always been within the scope of the library, but this may be eliminated in case the work of publishing is done by the Student Council instead of the state printer."
The question of a co-operative store selling books, stationery and other supplies to students, was also discussed in the course of further action on such a proposition to the judgment of the chancellor. The amount of capital stock first proposed, $500, was considered insufficient to carry on the "co-op" project.
BANQUET FOR SOLDIERS
Lawrence People Will Entertain
National Guards

"We expect to have 150 men out to the reception tonight," said Captain F. E. Jones this morning. "The Army, Jones will be present." in all, will surely be present."
Speeches will be given by Chancellor Frank Strong, Justin D. Bowersock, Major Hugh Means, and Colonel W. S. Mefetche. They will welcome us to the conference and appreciate the spirit which led the soldiers to go to the border.
"The fact that Company M is bad from active duty," said Captain Jones, "does not mean that the or organization is disbanded. On the contrary all of the men who stay in Lawrence will continue their training and I expect to get 100 new University men to join the company soon."
FROSH ELECT TUESDAY
W. S. G. A. Nominees Must Have Petitions in Early

NEW STEPS FOR SNOW HALL
TO FACILITATE DELIVERY
To provide an easy exit from the first floor of Snow Hall, and to facilitate the bringing in and taking out of the large amount of laboratory material which is constantly required by the departments in that building, a flight of steps is being constructed at the back of the building.
The steps, which are to be made of wood, will connect the sidewalk with Professor Hunter's entomology room in the southwest corner of the first floor. The way this will work will be temporary only and will soon be replaced by one of cement.

The other three of the six colleges to which Miss Hazel Pratt, director of sports for women, has sent invitations to U.S. U. in swimming, have not yet replied.
"To make it possible for every woman to learn to swim well enough to come out for these events, Manager W. O. Hamilton his turned the pool over to the women for the greater number to Thinkinggiving," said Miss Pina day "After that, the pool will be filled to the top. Beginners should arrange, therefore, to get in as many hours' swimming as possible before that time." Hours for swimming every day from Monday until Thanksgiving, with a practice on the Gym and the girls can practice on the days most convenient for them
“Freshman women are turning out well for swimming this year,” continued Miss Pratt. “The pool is full and the school has learned to swim the third time they furnishes an incentive for others when so many succeed, and I am glad to see the girls take an active interest in it. Swimming is a particularly good sport because these they cannot possibly over-exert themselves as in some other games.”

"A state alumni campaign will be held next Friday and Saturday," said Hugo Wedell, secretary of the university's members of this committee includes: Goehl Foster, Professors E. F. Engel, A. C. Terrill, F. H. Billings, W. J. Baumgartner and U. G. Mitchell. They will go to E. Penney, Newton, Hutchinson, and Witchiah.

BLOODHOUND THOUGHT
HE MET HIS FATE
When a tiny blue-blooded Spitz got his dander up on Massachusetts street near Weaver's, he let out a series of growls big enough for a county fair hound, big awkward, slow—and as it proved—good natured—ambled across his path and obstructed the view. With a leap the little fellow sprang at the big dog, but his foot was under the hind heels of his adversary.
The bloodhound leaped as if all the dog catchers in town were on his trail. The noise sounded as if he were in immediate danger of being eaten by a large fox, and he shaver under one hind foot trying to regain his balance and his dignity, the big dog moved apologetically from the walk and let him pass.
