CANNOT TRACE TYPHOID CASES
Students Now Ill Did Not Al Board at 1333 Kentucky, Say Authorities
The University health service today qualified the statement made yesterday that all cases of typhoid and hepatitis B in 1833 Kentucky street. According to J. E. Welker, a representative of the health service several of the cases that have developed during the week may have originated elsewhere.
RED LETTERS TO GO OUT

BY OUR DANCES ARE WE KNOWN
"People should not be allowed to forget that the University has a Y. M. C. A. composed of one thousand men and that as many men are endangered by the city," said Mr. Foster, "and when Dod Gaston mentions the beginning of work on the Hill he should include the fact that the University Y. M. C. A. has an employment bureau which positions for no less than five degrees of whom have a different purpose in life than these tans护蜜们."
A plea for the University students to live in such a way that the people of the state will think there are other things on Mount Oread besides social activities, was the appeal George O. Foster, registrar of the University made to a large body of men in Myerr Hall last night.
After the meeting the captains of the promotion force met with their men and completed the plans for the financial campaign which will be held Thursday, October 26.

GREEKS TO HAVE
FALL TRACK MEET
Pan-Hellenic Track Classic
Features Fall Athletic
Season
The Pan-Hellenic track meet, a feature of the fall track season will be held on McCook Field the afternoon of November 2. The usual custom is to hold the meet for the Greeks in the regular track season but at the request of Coach W. O. Hamilton the date has been changed.
In the meets of other years track stars have been discovered in this meet but it was held late in the year. This made it impossible for these stars to get into the varsity meets. It was also possible to be held in the fall so that this "dark horse" material may be seen in time to do some good.
The Sigma Chi fraternity won the meet last year, the Sigma Alpha Epion were a close second. The athletes are well divided this year and the result of the meet will be a speculation until the meet is over.
The rules set by the Pan-Hellenic council for a track meet are strict. Each fraternity is required to start a man in each event. A penalty of five dollars will be given delinquents. Varsity track men are barred from any event. Any man may not enter more than three events and the relay.
The Thursday afternoon College Faculty lecture on "Greece as a Factor in the European Crisis" to have been given by Dr. A. M. Wilcox of the Greek department has been postponed until Thursday, October 26, on account of the illness of Dr. Wilcox.

STUDENTS NEEDT FEAR
SATURDAY CLASSES NOW
Students need worry no more. Mrs. Esterly, secretary to Dean Templin, said this morning that Sat- ting before next year are very improbable.
Any change at this time would cause too much confusion, and the University Senate wishes to investigate thoroughly the plan before conference will be held. The celler will appoint a committee to correspond with other institutions which have experimented with classes on the last day of the week. In speaking of the plan, Mrs. fessor said that the committee has given consideration merely to see what the students and faculty would think of Saturday classes.
PAY THIS WEEK SAYS BILL CADY
Names of Delinquent Subscrib ers Dropped October 20— Business Manager
Unless some active steps are taken in the near future nearly seventy-five students and faculty members have been dropped, the scriptions shortly after the opening of school, promising to pay up before October 20, will find that their names have been dropped from the Kansan's books—and has become an important, testament. The teacher has been stormed.
October 20 has been set as the last day of grace for delinquent subscribers. "We will absolutely not carry such sidewalk books," said William S. Cady, Business Manager of the Kansan, today. "We have warned those who have failed to pay up through the advertising columns of the paper, and I didn't know anything about it" because, "be a legitimate excuse in this."
MUST MEET EXPENSES
"All subscriptions, carrier or mail, will be shut off Friday unless they are paid in advance. It may have been the custom in the past to trust to luck that the slow ones will pay up, but this year the price of paper, type, and everything else make it imptuous; we have no dead-heads on our lists."
Vernon Moore, in charge of the circulation records, has a card for every one who has not paid up his rent. Moore discontinue all subscriptions not paid for by October 20. "We do not like to discontinue any papers, especially to students," said Moore. "it it does done for purely business reasons."
MANY KANSAN SUBSCRIBERS The circulation books of the Kansas are in better shape than ever before. There are more subscriptions than those in any previous year, and a larger percentage of them are paid in advance.
With the warning that has been given, and special notices that are being sent out it is probable that it will not be necessary to drop more than a half dozen names altogether. It would be an enviable record if it were not necessary to drop a single name.
The circulation department is also checking in all receipt books from solicitors, on commission will be al-ready on subscriber turned in after Friday, October 20.

BOARD WILL ASK NEW BUILDINGS
Will Ask Legislature to Complete Administration Building
STATE ARCHITECT HERE
Board Discusses Plans for Two Other Buildings on Campus
Plans for the new section and two additional buildings were discussed in a meeting of the Board of Administration yesterday with State Architect, C. H. Chandler of Topeka, and Herbert S. Hare of Kansas City, a prominent landscape gardener. The team decided to create a strong fight for the completion of the Administration Building and new quarters for the Fine Arts students who at present are cooped up in old North College.
Completion of the central section of the Administration Building will be the one paramount issue in the campaign of the Board of Administration for appropriations from the next Legislature, according to a statement given out from the Chancellor's office this morning.
"The completion of the central portion of the Administration Building," said Chancellor Strong this week, for the university executive offices. Counting the room vacated in Fraser Hall we would have forty-two additional lecture and class rooms, all at capacity of light and thoroughly modern.
"There is no question but that this room is needed. The Board intends to make a strong fight before the next Legislature. The music students also are cramped at present, and need new quarters."
No definite plans of the Board were announced today, and president Hackney declined to make a statement. "We will have no definite plans to announce until after ur next meeting, when we will know more fully what we shall ask for the University," he said.
The meeting of Mr. Chandler and Mr. Hare with the Board seems, however, to indicate that definite steps are being taken to relieve the conjectured conditions on the canals, but the building permit will have charge of the completion of the plans for whatever buildings are being planned. From a remark made yesterday evening by Mr. Chandler after meeting with the Board, this includes two new buildings in addition to the Administration Building.
Herbert S. Hare was employed by the Board of Administration last year to draw up plans for the beautification of the campus and for the future location of University buildings. His mission here his week was to look over the ground available on the campus for new buildings.
