BIG PEP STUNTS ON
Rally Tonight in Fraser to Start Off Football Season With a Rush
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 29, 1916.
WANTS EVERYBODY OUT
Both Bands to Take Part In the Parade
A pre-season rally tonight and a parade tomorrow, both jammed and saturated with enthusiasm, will touch off the 1916 football season at K. U. The rally at 7:15 in Fraser Hall is promised by Gedney to be the biggest pre-season rally ever held on the Hill. It will be short—only three quarters of an hour—but epyer second will be crammed with vim.
EVERYBODY OUT
McCanles' Band will play while the hall is filling. Then the chancellor will speak, followed by Coach Hamilton in an enthusiasm talk. Paul Greever, president of the student council, will make a short snappy talk, and the cheer leader will rehearse the yell work.
This is the program revealed by the cheer leader, but a supplemental part of the program will contain surprises in the way of "pep" stirring. Every student of the university women and men, is expected to attend. At 2:30, sharp, tomorrow after school. At 5:15 start from South Park. The line of march will be north on Masachu sets street.
PARADE TO BE BIG
The Varsity and Freshmen squads, the faculty, and the "A" girls will be in the first section of the parade. Both University bands will follow. Next in line will march the freshmen in postage stamps. Every first year man must be in line or suffer the penalty, Cheerleader Gedney says. Sophomores and upperclassmen will conclude the parade.
Cheerleader Gedney hopes that every student of the University will be in the parade. Nothing will be allowed to book until the process arrives.
OIL BOOMS GEOLOGY
Students Study Conditions for Prospecting Work in Oil and Gas.
Rubbing elbows with millionaires at every turn—millionaires wearing greasy flannel shirts and overalls and sitting in front of country stores by the hour spitting tobacco juice upon the sidewalks,—has created, in the young men of Kansas, an amazing interest in the oil business.
Here at the University we are in a position to see the direct result of this interest, Prof. E. Haworth says the importance of geology far surpasses that of previous years. This is not only true of the elementary courses but of many graduate programs.
The practical work Professor Haworth has done in oil prospecting and other important geological surveying efforts to the students of the department a wonderful opportunity for the kind of instruction that will be of real interest to many. Finally, finished. Seemingly, many have realized this and its effect has been to swell the enrollment of the department to a figure never before reached.
University men who were enrolled in other departments last year have caught the oil lever from visiting the geologist during the summer, and talking to the geologists who located the big strikes. Many of these men became sufficiently interested in geology to enroll in the University before returning to the University this fall.
FORMER MEDIC INVENTS
TELEGRAPH-TYPEWRITER
Joe Diver, who was in the School of Medicine last year, is a guest at the Phi Beta Pi fraternity house. Mr Diver is now representing the Piersen Telegraphic Appliance Co. of Topeka.
The machine which Mr. Diver is demonstrating marks a new step in telegraphy. It is a combination of the typewriter and the telegraph transmitter, causes a marked saving of time in the receiving and sending of messages. The message is written on the typewriter, and through a mechanical device whose motor energy is supplied by a storage battery the message is automatically transmitted. Besides being a time and labor saver, the machine eliminates mistakes due to telegraphers' paralysis.
Mr. Diver has the Missouri and Kansas territory for this device and is based in New York.
Doris Roebe, Reynolds and Mina Canfield are giving a week-end house party at their homes in Holton. Those who will attend are: Olivia Wasserman, Kristen Widman, Mildred Glmore, Irma Wulfenwaber and Opal Holmes.
EVERYBODY OUT!
Bing! Bang! Crack! Snap! Boom! Rock Cfalk, Jay Hawk, K. U. Wow! Wow!
Come on, fellows!! Everybody out! That's the Pep! Let's go up to that big rally in Fraser Chapel tonight and make the old Hill tremble and shake with the sound of our yells.
It's just the good old K. U. Spirit cropping out. It starts at 7:15 o'clock tonight—and we'll all be there. WILL WE? We'll be right there with Cheerleader Gedney, and we'll help him give old Rock Chalk in such a volume that we'll make the windows of Fraser rattle.
This is the preparation for the entire football season. Let's show the team that we are behind them. Let's hike right up the Hill to the rally and get ready to WALLOP the Normals tomorrow on McCook. And let's have;
THAT'S K. U. SPIRIT. That's K. U. pep We'll listen to the "pepy" talks, we'll sing the songs, we'll YELL the yells and then we'll show everyone that we have the proper spirit, that we are ready to back the team in ALL the games WIN OR LOSE.
EVERYBODY OUT!!!!
SWAT THAT FRESHMAN KAPPAS TO STAY OUT?
Laws Make Good Use of Pad
dles on Freshmen
Today
The open season for capless freshmen is on. The official announcement was the appearance of the Laws against these weapons peculiar to "matt" hunters.
NOT ONE EXCUSED
There was no definite announcement that the caps should appear be fore tomorrow, but the majority of the freshmen came to their classes prepared for emergencies. Those who came without caps were loud in voice and the noise of injustice, but, speaking legally, an importance of the law exceses no man."
There was a big rush on the downtown clothing stores this morning when the word spread that "Today's the day," and it is safe to say that every freshman will be capped by to-morrow.
CAP SALE CONTINUES
Of course, there will be at least one freshman at the game tomorrow who will have forgotten his cap. He will probably be another freshman there who deliberately left his cap at home. He may not unobserved, after which he will probably be in college days. These two persons always attend every football game.
DAD ELLIOTT PRAISES
LOAD ELLIOT PRIXES
WORK OF UNIVERSITY Y. M
"The University Y. M. C. A. is in the "Triple A" class and by far the best organization of its kind in the state," said R. A. Elliott, state secretary of the student Y. M. C. A.'s for Kansas, this morning.
"And if this K. U. organization continues to progress in the next four years, like it has in the past under Conrad Hoffman and "Dutch" Wedell, it will be one of the best in the country."
The art of making pies better than mother used to make was demonstrated the other day by Fred Ziegler, c'18, at his rooming house. He made two big lemon pies which were so rich that they fell apart if one even looked at them. Mr. Ziegler is versed in many housewife duties pertaining to cooking, and is not bashful about showing his ability.
Comparative anatomy classes lost a good specimen the other day, when Marguerite Gregory, c17, rescued a little white kitten sitting in front of Snow Hall, in the basement of which cats are dissected. The queer part was that Miss Gregory formerly took a course in comparative anatomy.
"Dad" Elliott, as he is commonly called, returned to his home in Topeka this evening after visiting the doctor and giving them the "once over."
Louis O. Fink, Ernest Uhrlaub, and Don Woodard have enlisted in Battery B, the new company of field artillery units, that have its headquarters in Lawrence.
"All of them politicians who stick posters on the walk in front of the Chemistry Building ought not to be elected," says "Dave" the colored junior of that building. Every morning they scrub off the posters before the earliest student arrives on the campus.
In the future, the Blake Hall clock will have the exact time—once every twelve hours—unless someone winds it up.
Wearers of Key Make No Effort to Get Back Into Local Council
"We do not think that we are receiving justice," she continued, "and we merely want to have our action approved by the National Council. We have had little chance to present our case here with a Chi Omega as president of the Kansas Pan-Hellenic. There is no truth to the statement that our opponent will be to come into conference with the identi-ident of the Chi Omegas. We are awaiting the report of the National Pan-Hellenic."
Reinstatement in the local Pan-Hellenic is not the object of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, according to a statement this morning by a prominent Kappa. She said the Kappas are not petitioning the National Pan-Hellenic, and have made no move to institutional in the local sorority council.
The Chi Omegas say the matter probably will be settled in about a week, but until then the judgment of the Pan-Hellenic will remain in force.
BASKETBALL PRACTICE
TO BEGIN NEXT WEEK
Basketball practice will begin the first of next week. Many of the old men are again on the Hill, and Captain Nelson is confident that a large squad will be out. Three letter men will report: Kauder, Gibbens, and Uhrhau, "Slats" Colp, Reber, Patterson, and Kennedy are not in school this year, and their absence will be severely felt by the team.
"Dutch" Uhlraub may coach the varsity this year. Uhlraub is well known to all basketball fans for his exceptional knowledge of the game and ability to place men in such unique formations as to puzzles their opponents.
The mysteries of the linotype machine are to be revealed to budding K. U. journalist in a new course announced today by the department of journalism. W. B. Brown, superintendent of the press, who has charge of the back office of the Kansas, will give the instruction.
The course is six weeks in length.
The tuition will be $25. There are no academic requirements and no University credit is given. As many students will be enrolled as can be taken care of with the present equipment.
Charles C. Marlowe, a student in the School of Law last year, is teaching mathematics and has charge of athletics in the Laramie, Wyo., high school this year. Marlowe formerly attended the Kansas State Normal at Emporia, and was all-state fullback on the 1911 team.
NEW COURSE OFFERED BY
JOURNALISM DEPARTMENT
William Ainsworth, c16, is a guest at the Phi Kappa house. Mr. Ainsworth is now employed by a Wichita oil company as geologist. His account of the recent oil activities in the area has been published, and bears out the newspapers in their statements concerning the intense excitement in the oil camps.
The Forty Club will give a dance tonight at Fraternal Aid Hall.
Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Morgan, 1313 Vermont Street, announce the engagement of their daughter, Rhea E'c20, to Mr. Fred W. Raemer, E'l7, of Herkimer. The wedding will not take place until next summer.
NORMALS OPEN SEASON
Coach Hargiss Depends on Forward Pass to Win Game Tomorrow
KANSAS PROSPECTS GOOD
Olcott is Silent—Students Expect Victory for K. U.
Bill Hargis' Kansas Normals will come to town tomorrow for the first game on the 1916 football schedule. The team has an old tradition and their chances against the heavier Jayhawker eleven are considered exceedingly slim, the battle on McCook Field will be a pretty one, and the at-bat record will be one of the records for first-of-the-season games.
"The Normals will play an open game against Kanaas," Coach Hargiss said in an interview printed last night in an Eminor paper. "Our men are are too light to buck the K. U. lion and get away with it. We're willing to admit that. But I think that we can keep the Jayhawkers guessing with an open game, and I expect the boys to use the forward pass effect less. We need to boost win–win–less it is by some trickery but we do expect to get better results than last year, when we lost 21 to 3."
Coach Hargiss has driven his team hard in preparation for the struggle tomorrow. Ter days ago he announced that the team was better balanced than ever, and that every man on the squad is in condition for a game. Seventy-five men were out for the varsity squad at the Normal, and from this ample supply of material Hargiss had fashioned a team whose prospects are admittedly bright. Eleven letter men are on the squad.
The Normals' frenzed preparation for the game tomorrow are equalled by those of the Jayhawkers, who have been working four hours a day for three weeks in order to be in the best possible condition for the opening game. The climax of the training came last night, when the Varsity and the freshmen crimmaged in the hottest scrap yet staged between the Kanser players will take only a short打架, including kicking, punching, and signal-running. It is doubtful if there will be a scrimmage.
KANSAS PROSPECTS BRIGHT
Kansas prospects are, of course,
though four of her eight
letter grades. Her letters.
Nevertheless, there is not a man on
the squand who will not be in condition to play.
PHI GAMS AND PHI PSIS
SMOKE—THEN START RALLY
One of the best "stag" social events of the year was given last evening, in the form of a neighborhood smoker by the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity for the Phi Kappa Psis. The Phi Gamma Delta Phi Gamma house about eight in the evening, and two hours spent in mixing and good fellowship, a joint serenade was organized and the rounds of the sorority houses were made. After the serenade the two fraternities invaded the fraternity houses of "fraternity row" and organized a rally, called Gadget Gedney to head the gang which was augmented by additions from the fraternity houses along the line.
The University Debating Society, held its first meeting of the year in Room 110, Fraser Hall, last night. Plans for this year's work were made for the next meeting, which will be held Thursday evening. An open discussion will be held and new members will be considered at that time. All University men are eligible. This year promises to be the best in the country of the society, and all the members are enthusiastic over the prospects.
The fraternities on the top of the hill were also called out, and until nearly two o'clock Kansas Pep kept the neighborhood awake.
Debating Society Meets
Chancellor Frank Strong has received a letter from Frank C. Clarke of Chicago offering to send the University an autograph letter of Amos A. Lawrence, who was instrumental in starting the University of Kansas. Mr. Lawrence was the donor of a $10,000 gift to the University.
MEMENO RECEIVED FROM
FOUNDER OF UNIVERSIT
Marie Deut, c18, *tens* Thursday in Kansas City. She met her parents there and they returned to Lawrences to work before going to their home at Oswego.
Prof. P. W. Clanssen of the department of entomology was called to Hillsboro Thursday on account of the serious illness of his sister.
Hazel Carson, Mary Govier, Helen Moore and Florence Darby will go to Kansas City this afternoon to spend Saturday and Sunday.
FACULTY MEMBERS HOLD
FIRST ASSEMBLY TOMORROW
The first University Assembly of the faculty members of the different schools will be held tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock in Snow Hall. The plan for holding a meeting of the faculty members once a semester and Frank Strong desires, is being tried this year for 'the first time.
These general assemblies of the faculty members are for the purpose of drawing them closer together, of securing unity and co-operation among the different schools. An opportunity for the professors to express their news upon any matter of University concern will be given.
FROSH TO SHAG BOXES
First Year Men Will Gather Fuel for Big Bonfire Tomorrow Night
Freshmen have duties ahead of them for tomorrow morning. A monster bonfire will illuminate the campus at 7:30 tomorrow night. Thereby hangs a tale of no little interest for the fledglings. The plot of the tale will be enacted in the morning with freshmen in the leading role.
A fire means boxes. Since boxes do not grow on the top of the Hill, someone must play the beast of burden.
That "some one" will be Mr. Freshman. This is tradition. Tradition is this.
FROSH MUST WORK
In other words every freshman will be expected on the Hill early Saturday morning costumed a la workman. Paddling will be the alternative.
Prospects are bright for the greatest "nightshirt" parade in the history of the school. The band will be on and off, following a yell fest the men will "fall in," and final instructions for the line of march will be issued by Cheerleader Gedney. Then with both of the University bands leading a "Thundering Two Thousand," four students will marvel down Fourteenth street.
The first stop will be at Lee's.
Proceeding east on Fourteenth the procession will turn North at Massachusetts, through the business and residence sections of the city.
Following the parade, the "night-shrifters" will assemble at Seventh and Massachusetts streets for the big Ska dance.
MERCHANTS ARE GAME
Winding south on Massachusetts street, the white-gowned paraders will visit the merchants who have offered a route freely to the night's enthusiasm.
"We want every man to maintain the best of order throughout the parade. Destruction of property must be addressed," Abderecer Geday said today. "We want men in the ranks that any "nighthirt" has ever seen. Every student must come in a pair of pajamas or a nightgown. The merchants have contributed freely to the success of this rest; now it is up to us to do the rest."
After the parade, Manager Ware of the Varsity Theatre will put on a show at the stage of the theater a flashlight picture will be taken of the audience.
Prof. L, N. Flint of the department of journalism is in Topeka today on business. During his absence today Mr. T. H. Cromerney met his classes.

LIGHT VOTE POLLED
Upperclassmen and Frosh Shun Polls; Sophomores Turn Out in Swarms
WELSH, GAGE RUN CLOSE
Election Remarkably Free From Dirty Work, Greeter
Class elections for seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen today attracted crowds of students to the various buildings in which voting was conducted. The polls were open from 8 to 3 o'clock.
SENIOR ELECTION CLOSE
The senior election was close in several instances. Less than a third of the
The election was unusually quiet in all classes but the sophomore, where the vote promises to break all records. Competition between Frank Gage and Floyd Welsh, the two candidates for Soph Homan manager, was marked.
NO CROOKED WORK
Green Hall, the scene of the junior election, was unusually quiet, as only a few students "scratching" was going on at a lively clip, however, according to rumor, and an atmosphere of uncertainty was "oticable among the promoters of the election."
The freshman election, held in the Gym, was quiet, as usual. The year-end voting period is a percentage of its members never take much interest in the class election.
"There has been absolutely no crooked work," Skim Greaver president of the Student Council said this afternoon. "Everything—the whole conduct of the election—has been Karen Keenan. Students are very much pleased with the attitude taken by the students toward clean elections."
CONCERTS ARE POPULAR
Tickets Sell Rapidly to Many New Patrons—Students Buy Slowly
Tickets for the University Concert course are selling rapidly to persons who have never been patrons before, Dean H. L. Butter, head of the School of Fine Arts, announced this morning. However, the number of tickets sold to faculty members is small in comparison to the number sold last year.
Reservation of seats will begin
Thursday, October 5. The course will
cost $1,300 more than last year. In-
vestment of one star, three will give con-
"We are very fortunate in being able to offer such a splendid series this year," Dean Butler said this morning. "At Ann Arbor, five concerts are given annually, while we have four in Baltimore from $3 to $6. We offer seats from $2.50 to 4.00. The Peabody Institute in Baltimore is the only school that has as many concerts as we, and our seats sell for from $4 to $7. We can offer concerts at such a low price only because of the help from the University and because we have no hall or room to host them. Weivariate $1,000 for expenses. We can therefore sell $4,000 worth of talent or $3,000 in tickets."
Students may obtain tickets now at the Registrar's office, where each student must also turn in his own exchange ticket for the coupon book. Students can also obtain and as a result, many town people obtained tickets on student rates.
SCRIBE SORORITY MEETS
Theta Sigma Phi Held First Meeting Yesterday
the members of Theta Sigma Phi, honorary journalism sorority for women, hold their first meeting for the thirtieth annual meeting of women's rest room in Fraser Hall.
