BUILDINGS ARE UNFIT
Age Has Made Structures On Campus Inadequate and Dangerous
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 2, 1916.
NORTH COLLEGE UNSAFE
Old Medic Building Is Crumbling, Chancellor Points Out
That many of the University buildings are practically unfit for further use because of their age and crumbling condition and will either have to be repaired or new ones built was the frank statement. The Chancellor said at an informal faculty meeting hold in Snow Hall Saturday morning. The Chancellor further emphasized the need of a campaign by both faculty and students urging the next legislature to appropriate money for the refurbishment but they are inadequate for the size of the student body, the Chancellor said.
North College, Snow Hall, and the old Medical Building are the main buildings in need of attention. North College has been declared unfit for use after next year by three men, John M. Shea, superintendent of building and grounds of the University, Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith, of the department of architecture, of the state architect, which may last for ten years, and again it may have required in two years, said the Chancellor. The Medical Building is on its last lap of life and no one knows just how long it will last.
Other points were brought up in the Chancellor's address concerning the lecture system which the Chancellor always has opposed. The lack of adequate laboratory facilities was also dwelt upon by the head of the University, as practically every college and university over the country more individual attention is given to students by the faculty than at Kansas. The lecture system is being displaced as rapidly as possible by other large educational institutions. The Chancellor left no doubt in the minds of the students that the lecture systems perform which should be started and urged the members to do their best in the work.
After the Chancellor's talk an informal discussion was held. Many interesting points were brought up, one being the suggestion of Prof. A. C. Terrill that there should be a series of personally conducted tours over the campus for all students and faculty interested.
JINX VISITS KANSAS
Three Star Linesmen Crippled in Battle With Normals Saturday
The jinx came again to the Kansas camp Saturday, when more men were injured than in any game in the last five seasons. The Post Health and Reed are the victims.
Frost who was recovering from an injured shoulder is up against the same proposition again although he cheerfully admits, "It is not nearly so bad as before." He will spend the week on the sidelines.
Tad Reid, who held down the other end of the line, pulled a ligament in his left knee Saturday. His injury however, is not so serious. The injury was caused by last year's horse-horse was bumped again. There were numerous minor injuries and all of those who played came out well-bruised and all are willing to admit that the game was the hardest fought opening game in years. Russ Burchfield, an assistant coach for Scribble Laslett went out of the game with an elbow dislocated.
In the last few minutes of the first quarter, Speed Heath was taken from the field with a wrenched knee. This is Heath's first serious injury. She is now a strong athlete. Speed is attending his classes with the aid of a pair of ruthes.
Captain Adrian Lindsey got away with only a few minor bumps. The balance of the team is in excellent shape for the Illinois game.
DEAN TEMPLIN GETS
RELIC OF EUROPEAN WAR
A letter opener, made of shells from the European battlefield, was presented to Dean Olin Templin by Prof. D. L. Patterson, of the departing force, and named France, and now occupies a conspicuous place on the dean's desk.
The souvenir was made by a wounded French prisoner in Paris where the convalescent soldiers are kept busy making curios for sale to the visitors. A discharged French rifle shell forms the handle of the letter opener, the blake bell of brass on the side of the handle of a larger shell. On the side of the handle is a brass button from the coat of a dead German soldier.
M. C. Blanchard, e'02, engineer for the Eastern lines of the Santa Fe railway, was a visitor at the Normal game Saturday.

10 IN LARGE PARADE K. U. HAS A HEROINE
The Annual Night-Shirt Stun Draws "Peppy" Crowd From All Classes
WAS A "HOWLING" SUCCEED
Merchants Donate Eats, Drinks,
and Smokes Liberally
The annual nightshift parade Saturday night was a "howling" success in more ways than one and credit is due the cheerleaders for the orderly way in which the crowd behaved. At seven-thirty the gigantic bonfire, lit up by flames from the five hundred leather-lunged enthusiasts formed in a single line going through the antics of a snake-dance that would have made that historical classic of the Sioux seem as a Sunday School picnic. The five terpsichorean masterpieces and their resounded through the town in a most gratifying manner.
The merchants' donated liberally, and the crowd was feeling fine for the occasion—two conditions necessary to the success of the parade. Consequence: The football squad squashed given a big send-off after winning its first game.
At seven thirty o'clock the big bonfire was started in front of Fraser Hall, and in less than a quarter of an hour over seven hundred leather-covered students were whoooping around the blaze in true Indian fashion.
STARTS AT FRASER
A few hearty yells from the big gathering ground warned the downtown folks that the big parade was coming. Led by the K. U. Band and the Oread Cafe, Lee won, win the Oread Cafe and Lee's College Inn were first invaded for the treats.
After leaving Lee's the bunch went down Fourteenth street to Massachusetts, north to Eighth street, and then one block north on Vermont and back to Massachusetts. Then the fun started.
MECHEVAC
cigars and cherry store, drug store, cigar store and theatre opened up for the students. Cigars, sodas, ice cream, candy, apples, "wienies" and what not were given out in abundance. Every participant in the parade got enough to eat, drink and smoke, or he had only himself to biame.
MERCHANTS "COME ACROSS"
Outside of one minor accident with a street car there was no trouble of any kind on the main street while the parade was on. The street was practically cleared of all traffic for the few automobilist that ventured on the Main Drain from the reception from the self-appointed committees that Gedney was forced to turn traffic cop and direct the tressnassers to side streets.
The pep lasted until nearly twelve o'clock and the whole time saw perfect order and lots of noise. There was only one fire started after midnight on the main street, but it had been raining and the majority of the paraders had gone one, tired but full of cats from the down-town shops.

Flames on Co-ed's Dress Extinguished Before Injury
"Really I didn't do anything at all to get all this publicity. If anyone deserves any credit for saving Miss Germ's life it was Joe Hsuo, yesterday at the Alpha." said Miss Huoion yesterday at the Alpha. "I have been a freshman Josephine Frankenberger, also a freshman in the School of Fine Arts, of El Paso, Texas, she explained.
Friends of Miss Huoni said yesterday that her exploit would probably never have been known had not Miss Huoni gone to a dance Friday night with a Kansas City newspaper correspondent and on the way related the story to him. The result was the following story varying in details and length, in the Times, Post, Journal, the Lawrence papers, and others. She pictured the Star and Post "run" pictures of the co-ed" heroine as they termed her.
"Lawrence, Kas., Sept. 29. The quick presence of mind of Miss Josephine Huoni, freshman Fine Arts student from Kansas City, tonight will be the subject of Angela Gorman, also a freshman student, from Pawhuska, Okla.
"Miss Gorman's dress caught fire when she upset a can of 'canned heat' with which she was heating a curling iron in her room at 944 Louisiana St. Miss Huoni was assisted in her rescué by Miss Josephine Frankenberger of El Paso, Tex., who was in the room at the time.

WHO GETS THE PLEDGE?
President of National Pan-Hellenic Says Miss Cook Cannot Pledge
Declaring that Helen Cook, of Coffeeville, Kans., is a pledge of no sorority and forbidding her to pledge to any sorority for one calendar year, was the text of a letter received to the University of the local Pan-Hellenic from Miss Lena G. Baldwin, president of the National Pan-Hellenic. The letter follows:
Elmira, N. Y., Misa Elfringa, Fischer
Elmira, N. Y.,
President Pan-Hellenic,
Lawrence, Kencar
Helen Cook pledged to Chi Omega with the reorganized pledge ribbon, has broken her pledge with C Omega and therefore cannot pledge to any other fraternity for one eunichar. That, I think should be clear
Lena G. Baldwin.
President Nationals been by the president of the National women's Pan-Hellenic Association, will probably be the final outcome of the whole trouble which has caused the Kappa Kappa Gammas to be ousted from the local university. The best row in fraternity circles that the University has seen in years.
This is not the final action of the National Pan-Hellenic, but as it comes from the president of that body it will carry considerable weight. The pan-Hellenic federations here are now awaiting the official action of the national organization.
According to Virginia Lucas, as Kappa, that sorority is willing to take the decision of the National Pan-Hellenic as final, and Miss Cook will be released from her pledge in case the opinion given by Lena Baldwin, president of the National Pan-Hellenic is declared correct.
ARCHITECTS PLAN GET-
TOGETHER FOR FRESHMEN

TWELVE YEAR OLD BOY IS ENROLLED ON HILL Rides Bicycle to Class
Rides Bicycle to Class.
The youngest student on Mount Orend is not, properly speaking, on the Hill, but is at Oreda high school. He is Paul Shuler, twelve years old, not more than four feet high, who is taking the full high school course.
Paul Shuler lives at Sunnyside, Jefferson county. Until this week he rode in from his country home on his bicycle. Last spring he was chosen valedictorian of the Jefferson county schools.
"He is just a little shaver," said Professor Nutt, "but he is doing good work now. His folks have found a room for him on Pennsylvania street. Formerly he either rode in, or came on the train."
NORMALS SHOW FIGHT
Hold Heavier Jayhawkers to Two Touchdowns During Entire Game
BOTH USE FORWARD PASS
Heath and Cowgill Star for K. U.
—Culter for Teachers
The failure of the K. U. Varsity to solve the "same old shift" which Nebraska used so disastrously against her last year almost cost the Jayhawks the Nebraska Cup Saturday. Freak breaks in luck, and the absolute inability of the Normals to gain in pinches the two things responsible for the 13 to 0 score in favor of Kansas. The showing made by the Jayhawkers went to the hawkower rosters, who had expected an easy victory by a large score.
The Normals outplayed Kansas from start to finish. They were in possession of the ball two-thirds of the way up and the pressure against the K. U. line, which played a defensive game and waited for the Normal attack instead of rushing in and trying to break it up. The defense was good as the ball over the line when within three feet of the goal was the one thing that spelled disaster for them.
KRAFTY CARDINALS
Kansas to score until ten minutes after the game began, at which time Cowill passed thirty yards to Heath, who fell over the line for a touchdown. Lindsey failed to kick goal. The quarter ended with Kansas holding the ball on her own twelve-yard线.
ER GAINS FIFTY YARDS
The second quarter, though scores less, was the most sensational of the entire game. The fireworks began when Cutler, the Normal quarter, caught a Kansas pass in mid-air and raced fifty yards down the field before he was tackled and thrown by Vernon, of Kansas. Then, with the Normals in possession, he had gaded up and no downs against them, the Teachers began their hair-raising attempt to score. A fumble which was miraculously recovered cost them two yards on the first play. Then Hargiss was sent through the line for a yard gain. Cutler took the ball for an end run and drove back home with an inch. At this point, the Normals were penalized five yards for pushing and holding. With three downs against them, and the goal line seven yards away, Cutler made a forward pass to Hargiss, in a last desperate attempt to score. Hargiss stumbles, fell down and dropped the ball. Linda and her teammates behind his own goal line. The first half closed with the Normals in possession of the ball on the Kansas tenyard line.
THIRD QUARTER EVEN
Kansas got a bad start at the beginning of the second half by being penalized five yards at the kick-off. The struggle for the remainder of the third quarter took place in the middle of the field, neither team being able to advance consistently. The work of Vaughan, Normal right tackle, in playing off-side without being caught through breaking in back of the Kansas runner and tackling him from behind caused much comment. The quarter ended with the Normals holding the ball on the Kansas twelve-yard line.
Once again the Normals made a desperate attempt to score, at the opening of the last quarter. Three attempts failing, however, Moneypenny attempted a drop kick from the 27-yard line. The ball went wide of the goal and was sent into the danger. Fast's twenty-eight yard run was the next sign of rallying exhibited by the Jayhawkers, but the opportunity to score was lost when Culter intercepted a forward pass and the Normals gained possession of the ball. Kansas scored her second touchdown by a freak of luck when several minutes later, Casey fumbled and the Normals scored on the Normal one yard line. Vaughan's punt was poorly executed; the flying ball struck Hargiss on the head; and then bounded backward over the Normal line. Bell, of Kansas, fell on it, and the play brought the Jayhawkers six more points. Lindsey kicked great. The game ended three minutes later, with the ball in the middle of the field.
