SEVEN ATTEND MEETING
County Club Union Fails to Draw Enough for Organization
With only seven delegates in attendance, the special meeting of the County Club Union in Fraser Hall will be held. The club presents a fizzle and the representatives present voted to postpone the meeting until Tuesday night, December 14, when the officials hope there will be fewer smokers and parties to interfere with
At the next meeting of the Union, officers will be elected and the Union reorganized on a substantial basis. Secretary Willard Glasso, who has been pushing the County Club movement desires all clubs to be represented at Tuesday's meeting. We wish to thoroughly understand the plans of the various clubs in order that it may help or advise the clubs in securing speakers for their respective banquets and other holiday blow-outs.
The central organization also desires to get in touch with as many of the organized clubs as possible, and to that end requests that each club have some member call or see the secretary of the Union, Willard Glacco, before Tuesday night in order that he may secure a list in order that their cocreative, unanticipated whether the club will give a banquet during the holidays, and get the club lined up with the central organization. The secretary can be reached over Bell phone 692, any time in the afternoon or evening.
IS NO FAIR MEASURE OF STEPS TAKEN IN COOKING
"No, we have never made any tests here to determine how far students walk in preparing a meal," said Miss Elizabeth C. Sprague, professor of Home Economics, when it was remarked that students at the University of Illinois had ascertained by wearing pedometers that the distance covered in preparing a meal was three miles. "And I wouldn't be able to make such a test either," she continued, "except under normal conditions, and we don't have normal conditions for a test of that kind."
"Most of our work is done in the laboratory; therefore, our laboratories, rather than our dining room, are so placed that time and energy may be economized to allow us to be so placed with reference to the kitchen, that there is economy of time and 'labor. Moreover,' she added, "a fair test can only be made when a student has performed a certain set of motions a certain number of times, then mechanical to the degree that needless movements are eliminated.
"Familiarity with the motions involved and normal arrangements would be the only conditions under which a true test could be made. I don't know under what conditions the test at Illinois was made," she concluded, "but I know that they do good work."
Cherokee Organizes
The county clubs are gradually falling in line and organizing. The Cherokee club is the latest. It met Tuesday night at 1312 Vermont and elected Chester Covey president and also laid plans for entertaining high school seniors during the holidays. They have been told to wear a mask when held at Columbus the night of the twenty-third, to which the seniors and the faculty, of all the high schools in county have been invited. They will also take charge of chapel meetings in these towns and members of the club will speak about K. U. They are making an attempt to have a number of the faculty from here address the seniors but as yet no one has been secured. The club has a membership over 400, they have opportune of accomplishing some good for K. U.
Replies to the letters sent out by the College Committee of the University Senate to the more important schools and colleges of the country regarding specialized degrees are beginning to come in.
OPINIONS DIFFER ABOUT SPECIALIZED DEGREE
The sentiments expressed in these replies differ greatly. Some schools are strongly in favor of the Kansas suggestion of giving specified degrees to students while others are entirely opposed to it.
The College Committee will not take any action, however, for the Committee's purposes.
The big question that is going around in the Medic school is who turned Doc. Mathews' dogs loose? Professor Mathews has been experimenting on these dogs for several years. A life-time of working dogs loose will put Prof. Mathews several months behind in his work.
A Question Of Tails
Watching the gorgeous sunsets which occur these mild December evenings is becoming a favorite pastime among many of the students who do not leave the Hill until late at evening. It is said by some who have witnessed the war that the beauty of the autumn sunsets from Mt. Oread nearly equals those which occur on Pike's Peak in the summertime.
MARVINITES HIT IT UP
Snappy Music and Speeches Heard at Mixer Last Night
Laying aside their books and levels, the proteges of Professor Walker and the professors of the Engineering School got to teach at the Eagles' school. The final of the annual Pep, snappy music, and good speeches made the affair a complete success.
The band, led by Mac, started the ball rolling and then followed smokes and cider. After the freshmen and the upperclassman had met during the intermission, C.B. Sykes, president of the School of 'Engineering, made a short task hosting Engineer's Day, to work for a successful class day this year. The Glee Club followed with A College Medley, There Little Girl Don't Cry, Somebody Knows, by Guy Waldo, and Schneider's Band.
ADVOCATES HONOR SYSTEM
Prof. H. A. Rice followed with a snappy talk on Honor Systems in which he said in part that the honor system of the Lehigh University was a success because the men were back of it, and that he believed an honor system would be a good thing for the Engineering School because of its influence and influence there was much, if any, cribbing being done.
Then came the feature of the evening; the broomstick fiddle of Edwin Burke on which he played a number of whirls in a unique and clever manner.
AMERICAN FAULT IS CARELESSNESS Prof. A, C. Terrell, of the mining school, spoke next on character. Accent on the word American fault is carelessness due to lack of training in the schools. Dunn & Bradstreet say that sixty per cent of the business failures are due to this fault. The great American Desert is not in the Rocky Mountains but over the hat of the average American.
The formal part of the program was closed by Dean P. F. Walker, on the subject of Keeping Up-to-date, and he followed this up by giving the pith of President Wilson's message to Congress. He also commended the men on their smoker and said that the whole thing was well worth while.
The sale of the Engineers' song books was highly satisfactory, according to Paul Dryden, who has had charge of them, but there are a few more that should be taken up immediately to make the whole matter successful. A few will be kept by the various faculty students and the four students but the most of them will go now. Dryden deserves much credit for his work.
Then followed the doughnuts and cider and informal stunts until the end.

There Are Very Few "Sure Things"
In the life of the average person, but you can rest assured that one of the surest things with which you students come in contact is that the Loomas Quality coupled with the Loomas Price of
$3.00 a Dozen
for your Christmas photos and a gloss print for the Jayhawker is a combination that is hard to beat. The Loomas Quality is backed by twenty years of experience while the Loomas Price—well, that speaks for itself.
