END WEEK'S PRACTICE
Varsity Closes First Week's Work With Saturday Morning Scrimage
OPTIMISM NOW PREVAILS
Seven Two-Hundred Pounders
Constitute "Stone-Wall"
The first week of football practice at K. U, came to a close Saturday; morning with Varsity, Freshmen, no coaches all feeling decidedly optimistic. After practicing freshman four times on Saturday from Mon until Friday, the energetic Jay hawkers chose Saturday morning a the time for the final workout of the initial week's practice—and forty two of them appear to be on guard and kicking formations. Eight screaming ended the play.

OPTIMISM PREVAILS
Optimism is the spirit which prevailed in the Jayhawk camp—the sort of optimism that can see a wonderful team in the material now out for the Varsity. That Coaches Oglott and Clark will be able to but machine from the squad is the universal all who have seen room in action.
"Looks better to me than it has since I've been in school," is what K. U. seniors are saying—and they are talking about the prospects of a "steam-roller" team; not of that team's chance for a defeat at the hands of Oklahoma, or Nebraska, or Missouri.
SEVEN HEAVYWEIGHTS OUT
BEGIN HIKES SOON
SEVEN HEAVYWEIGHT
With seven men who are in the two hundred pound city Kansas candidates for line position, we develop a stone-wall defense. Burton, who returned to the game last week after a year as coach in Lawrence high school, is one of the two hundred pounds. Another is Frost, right tackle last year, who has gained considerable weight since last season. Wint Smith, a husky backyard candidate last year, has been shifted to the guard position because of the Fritz Meyn, who means the balance on a horse that jerk upward at 215 yards, will enter school next week. Meyn will try for the center position. Wilbur, Rubly, and Palkowski are others in the giant class.
Brown
The Sunday afternoon hikes we popular with the men last year will be begun again next Sunday, according to Coach Olcott. The hikes, which were inaugurated by "Beau" last season, proved beneficial to the men both because of the exercise obtained from them and because of the good fellowship feeling which they developed among the members of the squad.
K. U. Women Must Not Frequent Public Hops, Says Mrs. Brown
CLUB DANCES TABOOED
"There was little infringement of the rule last year, and I am making this announcement now in order that students not formerly acquainted with the regulation may not break it unintentionally." Mrs. Brown explained.
"University women are forbidden by the rules of the University Senate from attending the Unio n club dances or any other dances not under the supervision of chapernets appointed by University representatives." Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser to the Board said in this rule was made because such dances have no chapernon and no specified hour of closing."
BAND NEEDS MUSICIANS
Tryouts Will be Held Tonight in Fraser Hall
The last tryout for the band will be held tonight in Fraser Hall from 7:30 to 9:30. Eighty have already tried out, but there is still room for good musicians, as there will be two bands this year. Everyone will have a chance to make the first band. Gym credits will be given to the members of the first band and they will accompany the football team on most of its trios.
J. C. McCanes, director of the band, needs a first class flute, piccolo, baritone, and trap drummer; also good first clarinet and sole cornets. The lineup of the bands will be published in Wednesday's Kansan.

FRESHMEN WELCOMED SHOULD AUDIT
first All-University Party by University Women's Association
WAS A DANCELESS PARTY
Big Sisters Help Comfort Home
sick Freshmen
The first All-University party took the school year, given last Saturday evening in Johnson Gymnastics turned out to be a genuine success despite the fact that it was a party dancer, samba music, and food use. The gymnastics hour was well filled with home-sick freeman and gymnastic upperclass men and women and faculty members.
The party was given under the numbers of the University Women's Association, and officially it was not United Women's Association but University Women's Association is composed of the women of the faculty and the wives of faculty members, and every year it has been their custom to give the last name of each person in the university purposes of worsening the new freshmen students, both men and women. This is the first year that the party has been held in the Gymnasium, the house room in Haworth. It having been the past when the crowds were smaller.
Mrs. Frank Strong, the President of the Association, Chancellor Strong and a number of other University professors and their wives received the visitors. The ladies of the association were assisted by the "Big Sister" girls of the V. W. C. A., who kept up the "pen" during the evening.
Informality is the keynote of the evening's entertainment. The whole time was devoted to talking over the many things new to the freshmen, and the hostesses that entertained. Punch and waffers was served during the evening by Margaretta Hochdoefer, Esthen Swenson, and Mrs. G. F. Putnam.
BLOWOUT ROUSES PEP
Brings Attendance at Y. M. C.
A. Parties to

After the banquet the first year men sang K. U. songs and gave Rock Chalks with a vim that assures the audience year of the "Thundering Thousand."
FOSTER URGES CLEAN LIVING
Following the Chancellor's talk,
Registrar George O. Foster was introduced by Odis Burns, toastmaster Mr. Foster told of his experiences at the University, in connection with Christian work. He urged co-operation with the Y. M. C. A. in its fight for clean living at the University. We have heard it said. I remarked Mr. Foster as a boy left home to the University of Kansas, he was going to Hell. This is false.
You and I working together can prove that it is a lie."
Two hundred and fifty freshmen had their first opportunity to see and hear at close range Chancellor Strong at the third annual freshman blowout at Myers Hall, Saturday night. Dr. Strong urged all the freshmen to cooperate with the Y. M. C. A. in its fight to eliminate the vices in this city. He told of the work done by the Y. C. A. in the past, and the work to come in the future, appealing to the first year men to help in this great work.
Y. M. ENTERTAINS 1000
This Y.M.E. was the rousing finals of a week at the University Y. M. C. A. Beginning last Monday night with a “get acquainted” party, the association filled the week with a series of “peppy” mixers, including stunts and rude remarks until now the freshmen are veterans in school spirit.
The attendance at this banquet brought the total number of men entertained at M.C. QA, parties this up to 1,000. "And this is not the last of them either," said Ed. Todd, president of the Y. M. C. / "This is the biggest banquet and we intend to keep up the pace and fill the year with entertainment."

All Student Organizations Must Have Official Inspec-
There Is No Penalty For Failure To Keep Ruling
DIDN'T WORK LAST YEAR
A ruling to the effect that all student organizations must have their books audited, has been operative for years now at the University as well at other state institutions. The ruling was made by the Board of Admission and received from account books should be furnished by the registrar and that the books should be turned over to the accounting department for inspection. For two years since the ruling was made Registrator George O. Foster has done this for different organizations and has seen that they have account books.
WARNINGS DID LITTLE GOOD
Dut at the end of each school year,
in spite of fearsome warnings, all the
account books have not been checked
publicly and charges of graft against some
student treasures, failed to bring
results. A threat to hold credits of
the caroless officers was not carried out.
When asked what would be done this year, Registrar Foster smiled a tired smile.
"I wish they would turn the whole thing over to us and give us some authority," he said. "The accounting department and auditor know that there is no penalty for officers who do not bring their accounts for inspection."
FRESHMEN GIRLS FROLIC
Sept. 23., Saturday, Set as Date For Parade
"Good eats, an original force, rousing songs and yells and get-acquainted-games with the usual impressive lantern parade as a finish for the evening, is the program planned for the Freshman Frolic to be held in Robinson Gymnasium, Saturday, Sept. 23," reports Itasen Hillman, chairman of the Social Committee of Y. W. C. A.
Exclusively for women, the freshman Frolic has been one of the most successful annual affairs for many years. Big sisters escort their littile sisters and every other woman in the University who is looking for fun and sociability attends to help the freshmen have a good time.
A llantern parade over the campus enlivened with songs dear to lovers of K. U, and Kansas is the feature of the evening. 300 young women attended the Frolic last year in spite of the rain which prevented the llantern parade. The committee is preparing for 600 for Saturday night.
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION TO WORK FOR APPROPRIATION
The activities of the K. U. alumni association toward securing adequate appropriations for the school from the government after the Thanksgiving football game with Missouri. At this home-cometing event, a meeting of the board of directors of the alumni association will be held in the same teepee appointed to handle the work.
Preliminary to Christmas vacation,
students will organize to explain to
their legislators how serious the
issue is. University are at the
present time.
While K. U. is enjoying the most notable increase of students in years, a surprising number of old students have not returned, according to Dean Olin Templin and the registrar. J. C. McCanles, director of the band, has also been practicing practically a new organization because of losses in the ranks.
NUMEROUS OLD TIMERS
FAIL TO ANSWER ROLL
The University Y. M. C. A. will begin the regular work of the year Tuesday evening, with the first meeting at seven o'clock in Myers Hall. The Rt. Gordon Borden, Simpson, institution will be the first churchist Ensignal church, will speak.
REV. G. B. THOMPSON TO
SPEAK AT Y. M. MEETING
These meetings are to be held each Tuesday evening throughout the year, and will be dismissed promptly after the course has been engaged. Those in charge are trying to make the meetings interesting to students.
Orchestra Will Hold Tryout
The University orchestra will hold a tryout tonight in Fraser at 7:30, Prof. W. S. Mors, who has charge of the work this year, expects all who want a place in the orchestra at this year's concert to attend instruments which are available for use by those who have none of their own.
HOW SHOULD HE KNOW
THIS A REGULAR TOWN
Ignorance of the severe penalty which is dealt to the pedestrians who fail to walk the chalk marks in the congested district on Massachusetts streets caused a freshman to be taken to the police court Saturday afternoon. The cop charged him with jaywalking for cutting a corner.
In spite of entrances from the embryonic K. U. student the representative of the law marched his victim to the court; explaining that he had to begin on somebody. At the police court the judge could not be found.
"I have got a date at five-thirty, Mr. Officer," said the训架 a little roughly, "so I can't stick around any longer."
"Well then if that is the case I will walk back up town with you." Anz
The officer stopped before he reached Massachusetts Street with the explanation that he would want these to catch the violators of the traffic and then he would have so far飞走 with them to the police station.
DELAY SORORITY LIFE
Many Girls Pledged Tonight Held To Rooming House Contracts
When sorority pledging takes place Monday night, a large proportion of the freshman girls who receive bids to the different Greek letter societies will not plan to move to the sorority houses.
The reason is that Lawrence Jane ladies have taken the trouble to secure the promises of the girls to remain for at least a semester and in some cases, for an entire year at their present rooming places.
Two weeks ago, just before the opening of the University, it was announced by Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women, that there were not enough rooms available for the girls expected on Mount Ouchtene. She told of some landlodias who had placed their girls because of their experiences in previous years of losing their roomers, who secured sorority bids.
The result of the statement was a response from many Lawrence people who offered rooms for rent. At the present time, although there are approximately 1,000 girls in school, which is more than at any other point in the history of the efficiency of rooms, according to a statement given out by Mrs. Brown.
Incidentally, Mrs. Brown says she has spent the busiest week since she came to work two years ago. It is Mrs. Brown's office that chairs are placed in rooms.
STUDENT COUNCIL MAKES
DELIBRATIONS WEDNESDAY
Ways and means of eliminating dishonest practices in class elections, and the much discussed proposition for a cooperative book store will occupy the attention of the student at the time of meeting of the year Wednesday evening.
"The sentiment of the council is decidedly against any plan of conducting class elections that admit crooked work," said Paul R. Greever, acting president of the council, today. "One thing this vote does is the simplification of his lists of students who are enlisted to vote."
The annual fall elections will be held on Sept. 29. At this election, class officers and the editor and manager of the Jahvawker are chosen.
The matter of the Co-op book store is still hanging fire from last year, and it is very probable that some people will attend at this meeting to put the proposition on a more permanent basis.
Sigma Kappa Rushing Events
The Sigma Kappas gave a Dutch breakfast Saturday morning at nine o'clock. The menu and decorations were typically Dutch. The favors were blue breakfast capa which each guest were during the meal. Saturday evening at seven o'clock they gave a dinner. The Sigma Kappa corors, and maroon and lavender table decorations, which were red roses, lavender chrysanthemums and maroon and lavender butterflies. Sunday noon they entertained with a Blue Bird dinner and Sunday evening with a buffet luncheon. There were seventy-five guests present.
Student Churches Open Classes
The Sunday just past marked the opening of the religious year at the University churches. Aside from the regular worship, which was more largely attended than at any previous opening service, the special Bible classes, conducted by the student pastors, are taught in a heavy enrollment. Classes were held in the various churches for faculty members, men and women students, and for freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors. These classes are under control of the individual church and University credit is not given for the work done.
WORRIES STOP TODAY
Ninety Freshman Girls Get Invitations This After
noon
RUSHEES PLEDGED TODAY
Strenuous Season Passes—Work the Program Now
Doubts that are driving the freshmen girls near to the distraction point are better settled this spring. U. "Bid wagon" makes its rounds.
BID WAGON MAKES ROUND
The bid wagon carries apparel, snacks, and nine K. U. sororities the Phi Pi, Theta, Kappas, Chi Omegas, Sigma Kappas, Alpha Delta Pis, Gamma Pi Betas, Alpha XI Deltas and Kappa, Alpha XII Deltas but busted the bids of these sororites to about ninety freshmen girls.
RUSH WEEK NOW OVER
The sorority rushing has been going at night at 10 o'clock, the rushing was closed. From that time and through the day until this evening, sorority members are not allowed to more than nor to the rushes. The time this year is shorter than usual. Last year the bid wagon did not go around until Wednesday. But the Women's Pan-Hellenic council decided to shorten the round of parties and entertainment. Under the new plan, the sorority will still studies. Tonight there will be celebrations in the different sorority houses with their pledges but after that full attention will be given to school work.
Rushing this year has been full of exciting occurrences.
KAPPA HIDS HELD UP
As a result of an unintentional violation of the rushing rules, the Kappa Kappa Gamma will not issue formative letter until tomorrow. The Last Friday alumnae members of the organization, ignorant of the new inter-soriority rules which forbid "rushing" prospective pledges on the campus, conducted several rushes from their classes to chapel. The result was an order by the women's Pan-Hellenic council requiring the Kappas to withhold their bids a day.
GLEE CLUB BEGINS WORK
Aspiring Songsters Will Try Out Tomorrow
Tryouts for the Men's Glee Club will be tomorrow afternoon from 5 to 6 o'clock in orth College under the direction of Prof. W. B. Downing and Harry L. Charles, manager of this year's club, as well as club this year, with forty members, sixteen on each club, with a substitute for each part.
Plans have already been made for the Glee Club trip which probably will extend through western Texas. Other arrangements are under way for short week-end trips, which will keep the club busy all year.
Mr. Charles managed the Glee Club at Friend's College last year.
Just before graduation last spring, a scare was thrown into the ranks of the seniors by the announcement that a large proportion of them were not enrolled in college and the ruling which requires that two-thirds of the grades during their course must be "I"'s or "I"s. When the final reckoning came, however, only two or three were affected, and these fell to receive their diatoms anyway.
SENIORS MUST DIG, OR
FAIL TO GET DIPLOMA
There probably will be a warning issued this fall notifying seniors that they will be allowed no leeway when graduation time comes next June.
Sundwall Urges Innoculation
Typhoid inoculations will be given to girls on Tuesday afternoons and to boys on Wednesday afternoons at the University Hospital. Dr. Sundwalle, as representatives of the Board of Directors, argues that every student be inoculated.
CHANCELLOR ANNOUNCES
FRIDAY HALF HOLIDAY
To. The University:
To The University; those in charge of the Douglas citizens of Lawrence and the County in general are anxious that the University should cooperate with them in making the Fair a success. They are asking that classes defined by the Fair order that students may be at liberty to attend the Fair. I believe this to be a wise thing to do. There will be no classes, therefore, on the afternoon of Friday, September 15.
Signed, Frank Strong,
Chancellor.
