Freshmen Crowd Marvin Hall Many Pick Electrical Engineering
SENIORS TO LEAVE SOON
Will Take In Illinois Game On Inspection Trip
Though the ranks of the upper-classes of the School of Engineering have been greatly reduced by the call for financial aid in return (for financial and other reasons) this year's enrollment of 455 exceeds that of this time last year by twenty-five. One hundred eighty four fallen, Last year's total was barely 120
FROSH LIKE ELECTRICITY
Nearly one-third of the freshmen have signified their intention of taking electrical engineering. This, Dean Walker says, is due more to popular fancy which has cast a glamor around the electrical field than to any greater development in that than in other lines of engineering.
It has been necessary to give the budget immutable shaves and haircuts to retain the present teaching staff, according to Dean Walker. Among the new teachers are LeForce Bailey of the University of Illinois instructor in design in the department of architecture, and E. E. Hartman, c13, who fills the vacancy in the electrical department caused by E. D. McGinnis, C. I. Johnson, a former member of the department, is now employed by the Westinghouse Company of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.
PRACTICAL SIDE EMPIASISED The School of Engineering is endeavoring this year to emphasize the importance of research work, especially in the mining and electrical departments. Professor A. C. Terrill and miner in the mines of eastern Kansas and Jooplin, Mo. They hope to bring about closer co-operation between the mine operators and the University.

FAMOUS TENOR GIVES
HIGH HOPES TO BAND-MEN
From jazz player in an infantry band to a wonderful tenor singing high C is the reputation of Martellini, who appears in Robinson Gymnasium, Oct. 5, on the first number of the Fine Arts Concert course:
Martinelli's regimental band-master heard him singing for his comrade and feeling assured that he had a won-dertil voice, took him before Mandoi-lim, a famous vocal teacher, who predicted a promising future for the young clarinet player. For years he studied seriously and two years later made a debut at Ancon, winning world-wide notice.
K. U Athlete Marries
Word was received today of the marriage of Mary Ware to Curtis J. McCoy p¹11, in Fort Scott, September 18, 2015. He is now in track. He is senior member of the construction firm of Taylor & McCoy and is now at work on a big contract at Emporia. McCoy and at Empira Dolls from the Kansas chapter.
Henry Tihen is visiting at the Phi Beta Pi house. He will leave soon for Chicago where he is attending Rush Medical College. Tihen may be in Chicago, or she is the campus man that ever received a degree from the University.
Kappa Kappa Gamma announces the pledging of Helen Cooke, Coffeyville, Kans.
DAILY GRIND NO RESPECTER OF PERSON
Being Chancellor looks, does it? All he has to do is to sit behind a long table and occasionally press a push button to tell the secretary whether it is time to shut up the office and go home! Yes, that's all—except to guess right on some puzzling administration. He listens a day, listen to the trouble stories of members of the faculty and show them the way out, hear complaints from people who think the University is something more than just a few views to a dozen reporters on everything from the cause of color blindness to the date when the war will end, receive from wives on the battlefield or running the old school.

Women's Council Says Kappas Violated Pledging Rules—Natl Officers to Decide
GREEKS OUST KAPPAS RUN SPECIAL TO URBANA; ROUND-TRIP, TEN DOLLARS PROFS. BEAT STUDENTS
The Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority was indefinitely suspended from the K. U. Pan-Hellenic council at a meeting last night in the Chi Omega house as a result of alleged pledge lifting yesterday when the Kappas pinned those on a woman whom the Chi Omega claimed to have already pledged.
Monday afternoon of rush week a Chi Omega bid was extended to the young woman. She made no objections when the colors were placed on her desk and did not attend the formal ceremony the following Thursday.
SAID SHE WASN'T PLEDGED
Yesterday she told the Kappas she was not pledged to Chi Omega and was under no obligation to them. They immediately extended a bid, which
At the meeting of the women's Pan-Hellenic last night the Chi Omegas were upheld in their contentions that they had regularly pledged the wagam
UP TO NATIONAL COUNCIL
The controversy was referred to the national Pan-Hellenic council, the president of which is on her way to Lawrence to settle the matter. The issue is whether the girl was pledged to Chi Omega. Upon this determines whether the Kappas had a right to pledge her.
Following are the statements of the presidents of the two rossiories: Virginia Lucas, president of Kappa Kappa Gamma;
"The girl made a positive statement to us that she was not pledged to Chiromelanie. She stated she had signed no pledge not taken any oath. If she had done so we would not have extended our bid. She assured us that she was uninvolved."
Itaesa Hilman, president of Chi Omegas; "Our bid was sent out Monday afternoon. Shortly after five o'clock she came to our house thereby indicating her acceptance of the bid. She wore Chi Omega colors for more coverage of colors as always been wearing as an indication of bleding."
AVORS POLITICAL CLUB
hancellor Believes Students Should Have Political Views
Active interest in national and state politics was declared a good policy for University students this morning by Chancellor Frank Strong.
Mrs. Bob Lindsay, of Kansas City spent yesterday at the Gamma Phi Beta house where she was visiting her sister, Nellie Smith. Mrs. Lindsay was formerly Pearl Smith, a student in the University. "As soon as I went on the Hill today, I wished I could go up and enroll," Mrs. Lindsay said. "Bob and I are both planning on returning to K. U. next year."
Judge Alron of Howard, and been Judge Kappn Alpho houses for the past few days.
The chancellor was asked his opinion concerning such clubs as the Hughes for President club which will be organized in Room 105 in Green Houses. He said he would like him to express himself as heartily in favor of students putting their political beliefs into action during the campaign, no matter what their party. He will be the first event of the school year which has to do with national politics. It is expected that the Democratic adherents will follow suit.

Coach Hamilton has been working hard to make arrangements for a special train to convey K. U. students to Urbana, Ill., for the Kansas-Illinois game October 7. Hamilton has guaranteed the railroads 500 students if they make a rate of $10 or less for the round trip. The western passage is operated by a local team that has co-operated with the University in making the arrangements.
Both railroads have cut rates in the past for the M. U. and K. U. students. Last year the Wabash made a cut from about $8 to $5.35 round-trip from Kansas City to Columbia for the K. U. student.
The Chicago & Alton are also bidding for this special.
Both companies are expected to have their bids in by tomorrow night, and the one having the lowest will be the winning team. The round-trip will be under $10.
CAN YOU MAKE THE HIL
ON 3,000 MANPOWER
You Weigh Only 345 Tops
Every day fully 689,465 pounds of humanity are transported up or down the Hill. Or, in terms of avoidupdates, it is the greatest bulk of the Hill daily. The 2,659 students contribute the greatest bulk of the grand total. In comparison with them, the faculty members and employees of the University are insignificant.
You Weigh Only 345 Tons
Figured according to the familiar physics formula, a force of 188,937 horsepower would be required to pull this cargo of humanity up the Hill. To lift a to a fixture which greater force would be required to carry the books carried by the 689,465 pounds of struggling humanity in one day.
ISSUE SPANISH CATALOG
Prof. A. L. Owen Translates En vineering Bulletin
A requisition for six hundred copies of a Spanish translation of the catalog of the School of Engineering has been sent to the state printer. The edition is for distribution in Mexico, Central and South America and is intended to attract students from these countries.
The translation was made by Prof. Arthur L. Owen of the department
"Several requests have come in for copies of the new edition," said Professor Owen recently, "but we cannot tell when it will be ready."
Miss Nina Kanaga, who left her home here several months ago to teach music in a girls' school in Concepcione, Chile, writes that she has so far improved in her study of Spanish that she now hears her classes in that tongue. Miss Kanaga graduated from the Miss Elisa Arts 911 and took her graduate course in music last year. She is a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and while here took part in numerous University activities.
The tickets for the Normal Game and the reservations for automobiles will be put on sale today. All Student Enterprise tickets will be on sale at Fraser Hall and not in the Gym as some seem to suppose.
Tickets Out Today.

DRAMATIC CLUB PLANS
ACTIVE YEAR; 2 PLAYS
PRELIMINARY ROUND
The German Verse will start off with a punch this year. A play, and a "gut-together social" are planned for the meeting, Tuesday evening, October 21.
GERMAN VEEREN TO START
SOCIAL WHILE TUESDAY
Two paws will be presented by the Dramatic Club this year. The first will be given at the Bowersock theatre just before the Christmas holidays. The second will be presented later Professor MacMurrav will direct.
"We are changing the time of the meetings from afternoon to evening," Miss Margarethe Hochdorfer explained. "Many of the men in the department are too busy in the afternoon to come to Veren. We have had them all work." We are trying, this year, to meet at an hour when every one can come."
Arthur Malsed is on the Hill today visiting friends. Malsed is now working in Kansas City for an insurance company but is contemplating a bid again. Art says that the political game is almost to good to forsake.
Details will be announced later.
Manuscripts for the prize play contests must be presented by Jan 10, 1917. A prize of $50 is given to the winner.
Leland Thompson, who was graduated from the University last year, returned to school yesterday. He intends to take advanced courses in banking.
Besides the two plays, the Dramatic,
Club will give monthly programs as
was the custom last year. Classes in
theatre will have free sketches or
sketches as part of the class work.

WOMEN TO LEARN HOCKEY
Hockey training for women will be gin next week and continue until col.weather, the department of physics education for women announces Freshmen and sophomores instead of Juniors; women will be taught the game this fall.
Miss Hazel Pratt, physical instructor of women says "We have been unsuccessful with hockey in the past two years because we have been teaching the game only to a few upperspecies. We have had several teams among the freshmen and sophomore classes, I believe that we shall have trained some good players by next fall, and that hockey will be given the firm place in women's sports at k. U., that it has been taught in eastern schools, notably Briny Maur'.
"Experience in eastern schools has shown," said Miss Pratt, "that hockey is one of the most beneficial sports for women. It is not too strenuous—the average girl can play it—and it is possible to learn it successfully to expect to teach the principles of the game. Next year we hope to build up a strong team."
Sport to be Given Permanent Place
MAY HAVE TWO ISSUES
OF KANSAS ENGINEER
There probably will be two issues of the Kansas Engineer this year. The question of two issues was taken up on Monday last Thursday, but was not decided.
"The material that is available and the demand for the Kansas publication warrant an issue each semester, one in January and another in May," wrote Eileen Duffield and Gerald Sparks, managing editor, are working with that end in view.
Alden Tory, c18, now employed by the A. T. and F., returned to Kansas City this morning after spending Saturday and Sunday with friends on the Hill. Tory spent the summer in Oklahoma with his family souri. In addition to his work with the Santa Fa he is studying in the Kansas City school of law.
Charles J. Eldridge, Y. M. C. A treasurer in 1914-15, returned to his home in Topeka this morning after spending the week-end with old friends on the Hill. Eldridge rejoiced that he had become Chairman of university last spring and will return this fall to continue his work in the Chicago school of medicine.
Doris Hackbusch, c15, president of the W. S. G. A. 1914-15, returned to Ottawa last night after spending the week-end at the Alemann house. He taught English and German in the Ottawa high school this year.

Within the next two weeks there will be a demonstration of the pulmotor to the freshmen and sophomores, as has been the ruling for several semesters. Often times there will be demonstrations in the many physiology classes.
The pulmotor was purchased by the University several years ago in an effort to foster first aid. The machine is located in the little room under the best steps of Robinson Gymnasium for games for easy access to the pulmotor.
NIGHTSHIRT TO BE
BEST EVER—GEDNEY
Further plans for the big Nightshirt parade Saturday night were announced today by Cheerleader Gedney. Both University bands will furnish music for the long line of white-gowned paraders.
"Everything points to the greatest Nightshirt parade in the history of the University," Gedney says. "The merchants are 'kicking in' freely and an extra amount of enthusiasm is being stored away by the students. And that's exactly what we're after," said the nongular cheerleader.
WOMEN SWIMMERS MAY
HOLD STATE TOURNEY
Letters are mailed by Miss Hazel Pratt, physical instructor of women, to Washburn, Emporia, Baker and Minnehah urging a women's swim team to attend the school and the women of those institutions.
