Y. M. ENTERTAINMENT AT MYERS HALL
"A whirlwind of social activity," is what Hal Coffman, acting secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., has been asking to attend school. Beginning tonight a series of nightly entertainments will be given at Myers Hall for the men of the University, the climax coming on Sat. 12th and with the annual "Freshman Blowout."
The entertainment tonight will be in the form of an indoor baseball tournament. Participants will be divided into teams according to their politics—the Republicans against the Democracy and the Standpatters. Refreshments will be served at the close of the series of games.
FOSTER PREDICTS 3,000
He's Said It Before, But This Time He Means It, B' Gosh!
"MAKE IT IN TWO YUMPS"
That Legacy of 300 by The De
funct S-S. Makes Us Safe
That long cherished dream of Registrar George O. Foster, an enrollment of 3,000, will in all probability be realized during the coming school year. The Foster School University. For the last five years as the enrollment climbed steadily Mr. Foster has predicted that the total number would reach 3,000. Las year the goal was almost reached the total of 2959 students registered.
The average growth during normal years in the past has been 150. Last summer, however, the Summer Session enjoyed immense popularity, and the increase in Summer Session enrolments can be attributed to the winter session fails to increase as it has in the past, the total number can hardly fall below 3,000.
Many early registrations characterized the enrolling activity this year. For an entire week before the official graduation day, students at the office was besieged by students seeking to pay their fees and obtain receipts. On Wednesday of last week 194 students had registered, as contrasted with eleven registrations at previous days, because threatened railway strike is thought to have been partly responsible for the early registrations. "The students and prospective students were aware that they would be unable to reach Lawrence," is Registrar Foster's explanation.
Chancellor Strong Greets Students
September 7, 1916.
To the Students of the University:
September 7,1916.
For a long time it has been my pleasure through the columns of the KANS. N to welcome our students back to their college home. We always start the year with high hopes. This year is no exception. The prospects are that our number will be larger than ever before, and if our boys now on the Border could start the year with us we would feel that the University family was complete.
I trust that we may have unity of effort and high standards of personal conduct and intellectual endeavor during the whole of the year that is before us. Let us determine that nothing unworthy of the reputation of the University that we love shall mark the course of the year.
(Signed)
FRANK STRONG. Chancellor.

Extension Division Answers
Many Calls for Pictures
Applications for visual instruction are being received by the University Extension Division daily. Already 72 cities have filed applications, which will be given immediate attention by the department.
This service, which has now become a part of the regular University work, consists of motion picture distribution, designed to supplement instruction in schools of the state, aid libraries and clubs, and provide for material for lectures and various entertainments.
The nature of the work is along educational and industrial lines, and the service includes instructional films and lantern slides dealing with hisi- ture. Of the more important slides that are now available perhaps the more popular treat is various phases of food adulteration. Films on this subject have already been adopted by S. Bailey, supervisor of chemistry.
Some of the films that have been in demand include "The Vicar of Waefeld," "Yannhoo," "Hides That Walk!" and "Making a Machine," etc.
Last year there were 1663 slides and 161 motion picture films sent out by the Extension Division. Reports from many towns in the state prove that service is a helpful part of University service to the people of Kansas.
They've Hiked the Price!
GOING, GOING, GOING
Going—Going—Going—Up!
The price of board is going up.
Owing to the war, and the poor crops, and the sending of United States troops to the Mexican Border—and to countless other reasons—foodstuffs are higher this winter than they have been for many, many years.
With wheat hovering around the dollar mark, and potatoes costing from fifty to seventy cents more a bagel than they did a year ago; and with sugar, butter, and milk do little on the "Faid Out" side of the ledger.
The price of board is going up!
Landladers who will conduct boarding houses this winter got together Thursday night for a consideration of the proposition; and after due deliberation decided that a fifty cent raise was necessary in order to prevent Disaster From invading the peaceful domicile of the hash house keeper.
That's why the $4.00 clubs are charging $4.50 this year—and the $3.50 ones, $4.00; and the $5.00 ones, $5.50.
As they say in Battle Creek:
"There's A Reason."

Just to You
The University Daily Kansan announces its policy for the year. It is contained in eight words: "To Publish a Paper You'll Want to Read."
To picture the undergraduate life of the University accurately; to be absolutely fair in all our dealings with our subscribers and advertisers; to publish a paper hat will be a credit to the University, the city of Lawrence and the state of Kansas—hat is our highest aim.
With this determination to make the Kansan not only one of the best but the BEST college daily in the United States, we present to you the first issue of the school year.
Your appreciation of our work for the year will be shown in your inclination to subscribe for the paper and recommend that the folks at home take it, too. We will attempt to show our appreciation of your support in the class of paper we publish.
This is your paper. Criticize it; call it down if it errs; point out its mistakes — not to outsiders, but to members of the staff who can remedy faults — but don't knock it.
Boost for the Kansan. With everybody boosting we will get out a better paper, and a better paper means a better University, more profitable advertising out over the state, and growth—both for the paper and the school. We will have lots of "Go" this year. Your three dollars paid at the office now will enable you to get the paper right at the jump.
We acknowledge our dependence on your support. We want it.
Sincerely,
Business Manager. University Daily Kansan
FIRST FOOTBALL TODAY
Initial Practice of 1916 at Three o'Clock on McCook
Field
HUNDRED MEN WANTED
Coaches Oleatt and Clarke Urge Monster Squad
...
Football practice for the 1916 season formally starts at three o'clock this afternoon on McCook Field. Every player whether Varsity of freshman, is requested to report at that time Coach Blott or Coach Clark. At least one hundred men are wanted.
With coaches Olcott and Clarke and Captain Adrian Lindsey on the job since last week, everything is in readiness for the initial opening of the K. U. practice season for 1916 at McCook this afternoon on McCook Field.
"We have only three short weeks to get a first eleven ready for the opening game with the Kansas Normals, Sept. 30, on McCook Field, and it will be a very different task unless the players come out for practice the very first week," said Coach Olcott yesterday. "Yale had 125 men out last season, but we shall be satisfied if we have a hundred out this afternoon including both Varsity and freshman material. But at least one hundred."
For a number of returned Varsity men today's opening practice will be but a continuation of a series of voluntary workouts started last week by Coach Tiffany. Missouri Valley Conference ruling made it impossible for the coaches to be present at the practice but the men were able to get considerable benefit from their advance practice sessions from the ball and getting loosened up.
The presence of Fisk, a 185 pound half-back, brother of Otho J. Fisk, a regular on Coach Wheaton's 1914 eleven, has brought considerable joy to the early comers in the Jayhawker camp. All last spring when pushed for some football dope by an industrious correspondent, Coach Olcott would tell of the coming of this unknown marvel from Oklahoma. Fiskke was famous fresh team of three years ago and unlucky Varsity competition. He will do much to fill up the hole left by the loss of the two Gillispie brothers and "Sleepy" Holt, none of whom are expected to return to school this fall.
CHANCELLOR TO SPEAK
Dr. Strong Will Make Annual Opening Address to Students
The annual address to the students of the University, which will be given Friday morning at 10 o'clock in Robinson Gymnasium, is to be turned into a first University chapel this year according to an announcement made by Chancellor Frank Strong. Definita plans for the "get together" of the students and faculty members of the university, they we'll be announced in a few days.
The address will be given by Chancellor Strong, but he has not yet announced the subject of his talk. The remarks of his annual address of welcome usually take the form of a greeting to the students and an admonition to students about other important friends, to equalizing the different phases of University life.
Chancellor Strong is working on a plan whereby the University can have two All-University chapels each month. Last year the plan of having one big chapel service each month was tried out, and it met with such success that the Chancellor is desirous of getting the students together oftener. He has been trying along this line will be made at the opening chapel Friday. The semi-monthly chapel programs will be given by home talent.
HOW SHEA HELD THE
BAG ALL SUMMER
John M. Shea, superintendent of grounds and buildings may not be wearing a coat of tan and talking about the big trout that got away, but he is now learning about conscience. He has spent the summer making Mount Oread fit for continued habitation; and while others have bolted under the summer sun for several weeks, been repairing rooms, putting in lights, burrowing in tunnels and the like.
Edua Swingle, A. B. '15 will again offer two courses in journalism in the Phoenix, Ariz., high school. Miss Swingle is managing a high school paper which has 800 subscribers in addition to teaching.
