MALLOY-
Cherleader Wants Plenty of Women—To Name Assistants
Some real good welcome news for tomorrow night!
Cheerleader Gedney announces that everyone can have a date and still be able to come to the rally Wonderful! The largest "pep" meeting ever held on the Hill will begin in Fraser chapel tomorrow at 7:15 p. m., and a rip-roaring enthusiast program is slated from the time it begins until the meeting is over; the promises will be about eight o'clock. Flournets are known, to wander across the campus and trip lightly up the steps to the lady who awaits you. But that doesn't concern anyone but you.
The program will be short and snappy, consisting of selections by McCanles' band artists, a short sendoff by the Chancellor, a little boost by Coach Hamilton and a short address by Paul Griever, president of the Student Council. Gedney promises a student speaker for every rally; and for the initial rally of the season, this speaker will be universally between "acts" there will be a big lot of "pep" infused by the cheerleader.
NIGHTSHIRT PARADE SATURDAY
Plans for the big "nightshirts" parade will also be discussed at the rally tomorrow night. It is hoped that the greatest success in the history of the school will attend this parade Saturday afternoon. A welcome reception by Gedney. The parade is scheduled regardless of the outcome of the game Saturday afternoon.
GEDENY WANTS NEW IDEAS
Gedeny is still eager for any suggested innovations in success of the K. Food season this year depends on the co-operation of the entire student body. We must root our hardest, and I want to particularly impress this on the upper level," said the cheerleader this morning.
No little interest has been centered on who the assistant cheerleaders will be. Gadney promises to make his selections public at tomorrow evenally in-time, for the new men to get into "action" for the Normal game.
"I desire this to be the biggest preseason rally ever held at the University. I should like to see every man and woman present," said the cheerleader. "Before you have plenty of time to get to your dates after the rally."
BANKING STUDENTS TO VISIT
CONVENTION IN K. C. TODAY
A number of students in the courses in practical banking and in money and credit are attending the meetings of the American Bankers' Association in Kansas City this week. They are particularly interested in addresses of Frank A. Vandekerff, president of Bank of New York City, and that of Paul Warburg, a member of the Federal Reserve Board.
Prof. Arthur J. Boyton of the de partment of economics, is also attend edu-
ONLY REAL FROSH NEED
DON FRESHMAN BADGE
"Upperclassmen will not be compelled to wear freshmen caps, if they have undergone freshman discipline at any other school," Paul Greer, acting president of the Student Council, said. "This was the ruling last year."
Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the National City Bank, of New York, and five other prominent bankers will stop off in Lawrence this afternoon for an hour's visit in the city and on the road. "We have been attending the bankers' convention in Kansas City and are on their way west from there."
Ray West, B.S.'16, arrived here Thursday to join Henry Tihen who came Monday. They will leave Saturday for Chicago where they will visit the university. They will stop in Kansas City to visit the medical students at Rosedale.
This will be good news to many new men who have come here from other colleges and who do not wish to wear the humiliating emblem of freshmanship. Last year an attempt was made by a few over-zealous delinquents to force all newcomers to don the caps, whether freshmen or seniors.
Prominent Banker Here
Miss Gertrude Shepherd, '19, and Miss Eleanor Proudstir, '20, will go to Kansas City this afternoon to attend the Bankers' Ball.

ISSUE SQUIRREL PRINT
Scurrilus Posters Ridicule Candidates for Senior Class
ces
Carrying out an annual custom, a Squirrel print appeared on the Hill this morning and, as usual, its attack was directed at a local organization. It seriously ridiculed Fred Rodkey candidate for treasurer of the senior class, and Rhea Heath, running for vice-president in the same class, because, the print asserts, these men form the only opposition to a united senior class. Both men are accused of attempting to carry out the desires, and to manipulate, to demoralize the spirit of unity that has existed within the class.
A sign painted in front of Green Hall, supposedly by the same persons who distributed the anonymous poster, reads, "WE will run our school," show this school just how strong we are, actual words of Hungry Miller."
The scurrilous posters, many of which were pasted on the sidewalk and steps of University buildings, appeared contrary to the warning issue yesterday by John M. Shea, superintendent, who asserted in his statement, that such advertising methods could no longer be used by the class politicians.
Class Elections Tomorrow To Be Unusually Tame
HERE'S WHERE YOU VOTE
The long-awaited and much-heardled class elections will be the center of interest on Mount Oread to-morrow. Seniors will vote in the basement of Fraser Hall; juniors in Green Hall; sophomores, in Snow Hill; and all seniors in Ridgewood.
The sophomore election promises to be the hottest of the four. Interest centers around the two candidates who have been working actively for the past. Two candidates are in the field for each of the four freshmen offices.
Candidates for president and for secretary of the senior class have no opposition. But one candidate is out for each office in the junior class, and the election in Green Hall will be a mere matter of form. Only one name will appear on the ballot for each 10 candidates. It might that names written in will not be eligible yet petitions are presented beforehand.
Miss Emma Kohman, c'16, has secured the position of assistant instructor in physiology in the University of Chicago. While here Miss Kohman specialized in physiology. Her research led to a large number of applications, some of which were made by the graduate students of the Chicago University.

YUGHES MEN ORGANIZE
George T. McDermott Addressed Republican Meeting Last
Nignt
The importance of University students becoming party men was impressed by George T. McDermott, Topica attorney, who addressed the organization meeting of the Hughes-president Club in Green Hall last night.
His talk was not one of the usual kind given at political meetings. Mr. McMermott appealed to the thought of his auditors rather than their prejudices. Just after he was introduced by E. E. Brookens, state college organizer, and had started talking, C. E. Brookens asked the political science, walked into the room. Mr. McMermott took time off to shake hands with Mr. Dykstra.
That two important parties are necessary adjuncts of successful democratic government was the point heavily carried out by Mr. McDermott.
Council Takes Over Dates
All Union Club dance dates have been changed to Mrs. Brown's Student Council, as a result of Mrs. Brown's orders prohibiting University women from attending these dances.
A list of all the Student Council dance dates is published in the latter part of this week, Frank Terrell said this morning.
Officers for the Hughes Club were elected and affiliation with the National Republican College League was voted. The officers are: Ames Rogers, president; Walter F. Zoellner, vice-president; Mona Clara Huffman, secretary; F. W. Koester, treasurer; Sally Dugard, chair. A meeting of the officers will be held and other meetings planned. The national league has promised to furnish prominent speakers to assist in the Republican campaign at K. U.
"We used to work in the stacks at the University of Chicago library at the University of Chicago."
The success of the tennis tournament next spring should be assured if the enthusiasm displayed yesterday doesn't winter-kill. All the courts are hard and the weather of that wind was something to be rescheduled with.
Miss Pinaire Westfall of Elsworth, Kans., visited Miss Hester Jackson at the Kappappa house yesterday, en-
rollment day, will attend school the coming year.
Differences between the Chi Omega and Kappa Kappa Gamma sororities over the pledging of Helen Cook, a freshman are still unsettled. Whether he is held out of the local Pan-Hellenic association still hangs in the balance.
MAKE NO SETTLEMENT
A telegram from the president of the National Pan-Hellenic received yesterday afternoon by Elfrieda Fischer, president of the local interiorority association, was read at a meeting of the various sororities at the Chi Omega house last night. The national association upholds the local council in its action suspending the charter and asking for the support of Miss Cook. A thorough investigation will be made before a final decision is given.
Pan-Hellenic Suspends Action In Reinstating Kappa Kappa
Gamma
WIRES ARE BUSY
WEE SMALL HOUR IS SET
FOR Y. M.CABINET MEETING
NATIONAL OFFICERS MAY COME Unless a satisfactory settlement of the matter is made within a few days, M. Mary Collins will preside as national president of the Kappas, and Mrs. Mary C. Love Collins, national president of the Chi Omegas, are expected to come to Lawrence to confer with members of both local chapters. Miss Pen-fhellenic will determine whether Miss Cook will have to remain a nonsoriority girl for a period-of-one year. It was because of the difference of opinion on this question at the meeting that Ms. Kappas were temporarily expelled.
Because the cabinet members of the Y. M. C. A. are determined to do full justice to their organization, regardless of their personal inconveniences, they have set the time of their meetings at six o'clock on Tuesday mornings.
Reasons for this early hour are that four members of the cabinet are on the football field in the afternoon and the many social events and business activities at night would conflict with meetings at night.
"It is an inconvenient hour," said Hilleman, secretary of the personal office, who said this morning, "but this was the only time that all of the members could get together. After the football season the hour will probably be changed."
Frank Pedroja, ph14, formerly of Lincoln, Kans., is here for a day or two on his way to Russell, Kans. he will go into the drug business.

TWO GIRLS WENT OUT
TO SEE REAL SCRIMMAGE
"We had a good time and we're going again. It's good fun," said the two girls who went out to watch the scrimage Tuesday afternoon. "We don't feel a bit like martyrts to our teacher, and we're strong for the team."
"I know just enough to enjoy the game," said one, "but I like to watch them practice even if I can't enjoy the fuzzy points."
SCRIBES HOLD MEETING
Associated Journalists Complete Plans for Bohemian Supper-Dance
The Kansan office was crowded with enthusiastic journalists last night at a meeting called by the officers of the Associated Journalists to discuss the Bohemian Supper Dance. Robinson Gymnasium, October 6.
This dance, the one "different" dance of the season, will open the social year for the scribes. It will be followed by others during the winter. The purpose of these parties is to increase the spirit of good fellowship in the department of journalism. All kinds of enthusiasm was manifested last night by the faculty and students, which fact predicts a splen-enjoyment year department. The numbers outbursts during the meeting showed the keen interest the scribes are taking in this 'heir first social function.'
Professor Flint addressed the meeting and laid emphasis on the necessity of the members of the department getting together that they might become better acquainted with each other, and said, "is different from any other on the Hill. Here there must be an association between the students and instructors that cannot exist in any other department. They must be on campus. We do not hesitate to consult the other in any problem which may come up."
Friday, October 20, was the day set for the first appearance of corduroys, the official garb for the men in the museum. It is the Associated, journalists, last year.
Tickets for the Bohemian Supper Dance will be one dollar and will be on sale at the Kansan office tomorrow noon.
Paul Steelmith, a sophomore in the school of Engineering last year, is visiting with friends on the Hill. Paul is on his way to Ann Arbor but says that he has not purchased his new computer campaigns up and become exciting, he might be enticed to enroll here.

NO DATES SATURDAY
Paddling Squad Threatens Enforcement of Council's Sentiment
WOMEN BUY OwN TICKETS
Coach Believes Women Will Come Unescorted
Although no definite action was taken by the Men's Student Council at its meeting last night, President Paul Greever, said today he was confident that the council is in sympathy with the action taken by other organizations against dates to football games. This applies to the game Saturday.
"With the Missouri game it will be different but I fail to see why anyone should bring a date to the other games," said Greeter today. "But of course the paddling squad have to attend all the ill-rputed students, out of town dates, and fraternity and sorority house mothers, etc."
Manager W. O. Hamilton and Coach Olcott said: "Saturday will show whether the women students have gone to the games in the past just because of a date or to help the team." Many young women will buy their own student enterprise tickets to the games by themselves just to show their men friends they have the interest of the team as much at heart as anyone."
ENGINEERS PLAN SMOKER
Tags On Sale For Two Bits—Smoker Wednesday Night
Preparations are in progress for the annual Engineers' smoker which will occur at the Eagles' Hall Wednesday night. A committee was set up to charge the engineer Tuesday afternoon which will have charge of the affair.
The smoker is an annual affair and as the engineers are about 400 in number, this year's affair is expected to be the largest and best in the history of the department. The committee compartmented the two groups; Yokum, and Shorty Tolfs, as chairman, will have charge of the management of the smoker. They have secured several good speakers for the evening, among whom are Dean J. Manning and department of engineering and Alfred Wieters, president of the engineers.
Tags are on sale at twenty-five cents each and the committee wishes that every student of the department send a tag and be present Wednesday night.
DRAMATIC CLUB MEETS
Officers Elected and Plans Made For Year
Election of officers for the year was the center of interest at the opening meeting of the K. U. Dramatic Club in Green Hall last night. A regular business meeting preceded the election and several important topics relative to the plays to be staged this year were discussed. It was not decided whether two plays would be selected, and the matter was left to the committee on the selection of plays who were advised to begin work immediately.
It is probable from the discussion last night that if two plays are to be given, the first will be staged some time before the Christmas holidays. The committee was given power to use the funds of the club as a deposit in the inspection of plays where there are requirements of payment of royalties for these plays to fund, before the plays are given out for reading. Two members were added to the committee to allow a wider inspection of eligible plays.
The following officers were elected:
President, Otto Dittmer; vice-president,
Eugene Dyer; secretary, Ethan
Bauer; manager of plaus.
Frank McFarland.
The next meeting will be held in October. Final arrangements as to the plays will be made in the meanime so that the selection of the cast will take place shortly after the next meeting.
