BORDER LIFE NOT SO ADVENTUROUS
Soldier Sent to Mexico Says People Have Exaggerated the Peril
ORTON TELLS HIS STORY
Engineer, '19. Has Returned From Border on Leave of Absence
"Life along the Mexican border before the soldiers came wasn't as exciting as people were lead to think," he said. "I was also the who for the past thirteen months has been in the engineering corps of the southern department, U. S. army with headquarters at San Antonio, Texas. Then was a topographical draftsman."
"Of course there were frequent rumors that the town was about to be blown up by the Mexicans, especially on the Cinco de Maio, the day of indemnization in Mexico, but none ever materialized. Of the country is very unprogressive and unattractive to a Kansan. I, for one, was glad to get back into God's country. The majority of the inhabitants in southern Texas are Mexicans. In some of the countries there were rumors that the town would often as few as two in a whole country.
Mr. Orton made practically all of the maps used by General Pershing on his expedition into Mexico. "When we went down to the border that re-mapped us, we were mapped in the United States. Today it is said to be the best," Orton said.
"The majority of the Texas ranchmen are destroys of keeping peace with Mexico but of course in the event of war would be ready to fight."
"When Pershing and his army started on their expedition they found that the government maps which they had were practically antiquated. Consequently we had to make new maps of the whole country from Yuma to Tahoeville on the American side and as far south as Cihuahua in Mexico."
Mr. Orton is now on a leave of absence. He intends to finish his work in civil engineering, after which he will be on the job. Mr. Orton was recently appointed assistant structurer in mechanical drawing in the School of Engineering.

FORMER K. U. PROFESSOR
DIES SUSDENLY IN N. Y
Fredonia, N. Y., Oct. 18—Norman Duncan, the author, died suddenly while playing golf here today. Mr. Duncan was born in Brantford, Ontario, in 1871, and some of his best books were published before he was 35 years old. He was professor of rhetoric at Washington and Jefferson University from 1902 to 1906, professor of English literature at the University of Kansas from 1908 to 1910, while living in Lawrence with his brother, Robert Kennedy Duncan, then a member of the K.

CROSS COUNTRY SQUAD IS BUSY
Distance Men Prepare for First Meet With Manhattan Aggies Oct.28
The cross country squad ran with renewed interest last night when Coach Hamilton announced that a trip to Purdue was assured if the team meets the Western Conference meets this year will be held on the Purdue course November 25. Kansas made a good showing in this meet last year at Wisconsin and every points to a similar record this year.
Prospects for a winning cross-country team appeared brighter last night than at any time this season when three men did the five mile course in the first half of the race to the Varsity squad is Holden, who was a distance man and a hurdler at Tufts College where he won his “T” in cross country several years ago. He was a first-round finisher the squad last year, is another new man. Only a bad case of gripe kept him off the team last year. Captain Stalecer, Rodkey, Groene, Dillon, Washington and Brown are the men who have been doing consistent work this fall.
The squad has been running five and seven miles a day the past week. Roddy Kee has acute indigestion caused by eating too much and is limping out until the indoor season ends.
The team will be picked when the first meet is held at the K. U-Agge game. The first six men to finish will make the team. This is the first year
