LEAVE FOR ILLINOIS
Squad of Twenty-five Men Off for Urbana Today—Over the Santa Fe
CAPT. LINDSEY IS HOPEFUL
"The Kansas team is not going up to Urbana with any idea of losing—not by any means! The Illinois team is human, just like the rest of us, and there is a chance we can win. Just as there is always a chance to beat 'invincible Nebraska.' The team has worked hard in preparation for the Illinois game, and I think we'll surprise not only the Illinois pityers but also all of Kansas people. We expect us to lose by a big score."
Expects Team to Spring Big Surprise
Captain Adrian Lindsey.
That's the way the captain of the team feels about the game Saturday with the University of Illinois. That, too, is the way the men on the squad feel. What the coaches feel, or think, or expect, is still considerably up in the air.

NO 8 O'CLOCK CLASSES
"I am opposed to classes commencing at 8 o'clock, said Chancellor Frank Strong, this morning, in regard to a rumor that the time of the chapel service will be o'clock since the morning church services have been discontinued.
Chancellor Strong Opposes Return of 8:30 Classes to Old Time
The matter was discussed at the meeting of the University Senate at the time chapel was abolished but the decision in the matter was left to the chancellor's cabinet, which includes the deans from each faculty of the faculty men have expressed themselves in favor of changing back to the old hour.
"The matter will be decided at the next meeting of the cabinet, which meets on call," said Chancellor Strong. "I think it is better as it stands now because 8 o'clock is too early for students to get to their classes. When students study late at night, preparing their work, it is too much of a strain for them to go out early morning, out breakfast and get on the hill by 9 o'clock. The extra thirty minutes gives just enough time to relieve the strain and is much more satisfactory all around."
A limited survey of student opinions shows that they are strongly opposed to the 8 o'clock class since the students meet of meeting their classes at 8:30.

ORGANIZE WILSON CLUB FIRST CASE DEVELOPS
TAGGART PRAISES WILSON
Before an audience of over 100 students Congressman Hon. Joseph Taggart of Kansas City, Kansas, addressed the initial meeting of the University Woodrow Wilson Club in Green Hall last night.
Says Present Congress Has Passed Great Measures
The meeting began with the selection of Paul Grever, President of the Men's Student Council, as temporary chairman. Joe Gaitlskill, former cheerleader, was nominated for president and elected by acclamation.
The officers for the Woodrow Wilson Club were selected as follows President, Joe Gaitskill; vice-president, Henry Penegus; treasurer, Wm Weber; secretary, Istaska Hillsman; Sergeant at arms, Paul Grever.
Congressman Taggart defended the work of the present administration "The 44th Congress, or long congregate," he long wrote, of more progressive measures than all of the other sixty-three congresses combined," said Mr. Taggart. He pointed particularly to the passage of a Rural Credits Bill, Good Road appropriations, the Child Labor Act, passed during the last four years.
Colonel Roosevelt was warmly scored by Mr. Taggart for his actions regarding the actions of President Wilson, which the former is used in recent campaign speeches *4* Hughes. We can speak as we would to Roosevelt and spread with all due respect of the head of our nation," said Mr. Taggart.
Ardently Mr. Taggart defended the President's Mexican and European policies. As the congressman state President Wilson in all of the recent crises has had foremost in mind, the protection of humanity and the con-
trol over immigration to a new nation, especially. The President, if he had allowed this nation to have come embroiled in a war with Mexico or with an European nation, won have doubly assured himself of an almost unanimous re-election. But personal glorification has had no chil-
few issues. If he were to defend the President say that if it took a war to re-elect him to the presidency, he would not be elected!"
President Gaitskill then announced that the next meeting of club would be held very shortly, exact date to be announced later. And prominent speaker was assured Gaitskill for the next meeting.

Tells of Oriental Patterns Before Home Economics Club

Professor Rice opened his lecture by saying that his talk was to be a personal one and not one of technical type. He said he didn't think persons were obliged to have a technical knowledge of Oriental rugs to be able to distinguish a real rug from an imitation.
He added that Oriental rugs are the most durable of all rugs and that persons of moderate means could have Oriental rugs without becoming bankrupt. He said, "If Lowell had known about Oriental rugs he would never have written about A Wonderful Day in June."

OTHER SUSPECTED CASES

"Whether or not the case was contracted here cannot be fully determined as yet," said a member of the group from ten days to two weeks for the disease to develop after the bacillus have entered the system, but the fact that all of the cases came from the different towns is very singular.
The Hospital staff today is mailing out copies of the Student Health Bulletin with those portions marked that refer to the boiling of drinking water, to the stewards of all boarding clubs and all landladies.
“Students should insist on having boiled water,” said another member of the staff. “and the students are in a position to demand this from their landlazes, and there should be no inability in bringing about the desired end.
"Every student in the University should take advantage of the free typhoid inoculations being given at the hospital. So far this year very few have been vaccinated, but this will mean more care in the future." Inoculations are being given without charge to students at the hospital twice each week. The women are treated on Tuesday and the men on Fridays. A number of other patients and the inoculations are advised by the hospital authorities.

IOOSTS KANSAS CITIES
Prof. J. W, Evans Explains Child Welfare Contest
The September issue of The Nation's Business contains an interesting article by Prof. J. W. Evans, of the department of Journalism, on the subject, "Out Here in Kansas," describing cities in Kansas in the problem of child welfare and explains the part played by the University in this work. This issue of The Nation's Business is the second under the editorship of Merle Thorpe, former head of the department of Journalism of the University of Kansas.
In the article Professor Evans explains the contest between the cities of the second and third classes in Kansas which was waged to see whether children in the city in which to raise children. The second class cities had their contest in 1914-15, which resulted in the $1,000 prize being awarded to Winfield the cities of the third class during the year 1916-17.
The principles on which the awarding of the $1,000 prize will be based are: (1) Opportunities for play and athletics; (2) School work and industrial training; (3) Social and recreational activities; (4) Physical and moral safeguards; (5) Activities of child fostering clubs and societies; (6) Attendance at Sunday school and kindred organizations.
George Brooks, from Sedan visited the first of the week with his step-son, Irvin Guy, c'20. Mr Brooks stopped over to visit the University after a business trip to Kansas City.
The efforts of the cities to improve these conditions are pointed out by Professor Evans as being of great value to the city regardless of the results of the contest. Although the prize may not be won the city is improved and it is virtually the winner. The results of the contest in the second class classes showed an increase in the population of the cities.

Chancellor Requests all Smokers Not to "Fog Up" On Mount Oread

Letters From Alumni and Friends Influence Decision
(Signed)
To the faculty and students of the University:
(Signed) FRANK STRONG,
Chancellor
I am convinced after long consideration of the question and after receiving many letters and protests from graduates and friends of the University that the best interests of university would be fulfilled if there were no tobacco used in any form in University buildings or on University grounds. So firmly has this been impressed upon me that I respectfully request all students and members of the faculty, individually, to respond loyalty to the university. This request is made on no grounds whatever except the best interests of our University.
This statement was handed out this morning by Chancellor Frank Strong is the result of communications from graduates and friends of the University calling attention to the fact that he best interests of K. U. would be furthered by the abolishment of the use of tobacco on the campus.
The matter has been under discussion by the University Senate but no action has been taken. The chancellor wants it plainly understood that the university is not appealing to the matter was left to him and he is merely appealing to the loyalty of the faculty members and students to respond to this self-delivering ordinance.
"It is not a moral issue," said Chancellor Strong, this morning, "and I am sorry that I have to answer this statement, but judging from the protests that have come in from alumni and visitors to Mount Oread I believe that it would further the use of tobacco on the campus at buildings was stopped.
"Many large colleges and universities have rulings forbidding the use of tobacco on the campus but we don't want to have to come to that at Kansas because I always have stood against hard and fast rules for the control of students. One of the Senate members recently told me that he would stop smoking among the students this year than there had ever been before. I think this is the case, too, and don't believe it will work much of a hardship in conforming to this self-denial." The state law forbids the use of cigar 'tes on the..." "or..." "in any for
