RULE TO AFFECT PROM
Joint Committee of Students and Faculty Would Close All Dances at One
Closing of the Junior Prom, Sophomore Hop, and the Law Scrium at one o'clock will result if the rule recommended by a joint committee from the Men's Student Council, the W. S. G. A., and the faculty committee on Student Affairs, is passed by the University Senate.
the meeting was called by the Chancellor, yesterday afternoon.
The committee at first suggested that all dances close at twelve o'clock except spring parties and that they would be held every three years, however, that there are about one hundred and twenty organizations on the Hill who could give a spring party according to the committee and also according to the exceptions to break up the rule.
It was finally recommended by this joint meeting that all dances close at one o'clock on Friday nights and at midnight on Saturday. This event will be presented to the University Senate and its action will decide the case.
If the measure is passed it will mean that the Junior Prom and the Sophomore Hop, and Law Scrim must close at one o'clock the same as the ordinary class and Varsity dances.

For those who do not care to dance there will be other amusements. Admission is fifty cents a couple.
WHILE THE BABY SMILES
Endowment of Dimes Shower in Upon the Senior Class Protege
Hearts were ever thus—the little child shall lead them. Yesterday Charles O. Doub told the secret of his smile; today, seniors, even faculty members are hurrying to have a part in endowing a sum of money to the Senior Class Baby Rush Elizabeth Doub.
George O. Foster says that there are four hundred seniors and that every one should turn in a dime. George O. added his dime, though he earned it from the senior. Dean Oln Templin smiled broadly as he pulled out a silver piece.
"This looks good to me," said the Dean. "I think we all ought to get in on it. Let the class raise five hundred dollars and place it with the Student Loan Fund drawing four per cent interest. You have a competent teacher, but where it will do others good at the same time. I'm for Ruth Elizabeth."
Prof. Merle Thorpe, under whom the proud father is enrolled in journalism, was only too glad to add to the rapidly increasing fund.
The committee, of which Charles Sturtevant is chairman, is looking for some student in economics who will determine the exact amount of interest acquired in the twenty-one years. Prof. Arthur Boyton, of the department of finances and economies, says that the interest will increase rapidly, but how much would take some little time to determine.
Next to the knowing smile of Charles O. Doub, the senior president has a smile that is not to be overheard, that he is interested in the class that has a memorial that is not to be frowned upon. He advocates that the money acquired at the school for the twenty-one years go to Ruth Hirschman, her mother when she enters the University.
DEBATING TEAM ANNOUNCED
Squads to Argue With Nebraska Chosen for the Dual-
[ebate
A tentative line-up of the debating teams which will oppose the University of Nebraska on December 10 was announced this morning by Prof. Howard T. Hill, the Kansas debating coach. The affirmative team, which will speak in Fraser Hall chapel, will be captained by O. H. Burns. Clarendon Havinghurst will be the first spartan, and Mr. Burns will talk third.

Shinn to Captain Team
"Resolved: That the United States Should Immediately and Permanently Increase Her Armament," is the question to be discussed in the debate. As the affair is dual, each team will have two teams, it will be necessary for one school to receive both decisions in order to win the debate proper.
Seven Pharmic students are in Topeka this week taking the State Board of Pharmacy examination. They are Harry Schroers, Lewis Chelsie Iml Gohsen, Charles Delhotel, Harold Crowell, and Frank Ellis.
Burns and McQuiston will go to the state library in Topeka Saturday to look up material for the debate. Shinn and Havinghurst will go to the Public Library in Kansas City, Mia. Dahl will be promptly at 8:15 on the beginning prompt at 8:15 on the evening of December 10. Student coupons admit.

DIRECTORIES ON THEIR WAY
Like Christmas, They Are Always Coming; Still in the Hands of the State Printer
Student directories will be given out as Christmas presents this year, or during quiz week, perhaps. The computer will direct you to the state printer in Topeka this morning. Such a long delay in publishing the directories is unusual but this year it it was only after much hard work and effort to get the proofs from the printer.
The different student organizations were slow in handing in the names of their officers and then it was like making out a new directory for them. You can't do it if it is not put out on time so many of the students change their rooming places and a multitude of corrections are made necessary. The last changes, however, have been made and the proofs are corrected up to date.
SALESMEN INTERFERE
IN ALLLINOIS CLASSES
Instructed in rhetoric classes to write business letters to reputable firms, in order to obtain advertising matter, students at the University of Illinois did not expect to have fire proof letter files and burglar proof safes forced on them by irate sa'esmen.
Fearing no less than a law-suit on their hands the frightened freshmen decided to tell the truth, and referred the salesmen to the rhetoric professor. After much talking on the part of the students, he wrought up professor, they were named, understand that is was not a frame-up, but merely an unforeseen difficulty.
Requests have been received by Dean Butler from the State School for the B'Ind in Kansas City and a parliamentary at Lansing to give receptive intends to include them in his routine of the large towns of the state.

SCHLUTE LEARNS LITTLE
"Twenty Point Story Liable To Create Over Confidence Warns Coach Olcott
Among the people who were aware that the Missouri coaching staff was present at the Nebraska contest was Coach "Beau" Olcett. Some people may have worried about the Missourians being allowed to take down Kansas plays but the Kansas mentor did not seem to care.
Overconfidence Probable
The fact remains that Coach Schulte came to Lawrence and went away again without learning enough to hurt him according to Coach Olivet. Schulte learned a little about the Kansas law and asked her if she fuzzed? Kansas did not carry the ball enough to show any of Olivet's plays which he had given to his men in the secret practice during the week. These plays remain in the "domes" of those same Jayhawkers who played there, but they do not reside in Schubert. Nor has assistant-coach Van Ghent stored them away under his hat.
The first part of Missouri's game appeared in the Kansan last night. It was probably meant by Schulte to do part of the work this week and be ready for the Big Ten before their Turkey dinner. That part was the boast the Tiger coach gave the Kansas team, He meant that Kansas should swell up with the fans, reading how Kansas would easily defeat Missouri by twenty points.
One one took better notice of the article than Coach "Beau" Olcott as it was before after practice last night. The Kansai went through the whole thing at once.
Missouri Not Weak
"Schulte is apparently under-rating his own team very much," said Olcott last night. "Missouri has a team that is 'up and coming' and Schulte knows it. That sounds like a good line to lead the Kansas rosters into being overconfident but it's purpose is entirely too evident.
"Missouri is anything, but weak now. I understand that she has a habit of starting out with a poor friend when she gets to the Kansas grass field, sometimes proves the Jayhawkers undoing. I imagine that is the case this year and we are going to have a hard game to down Missouri. I hope the hospital list will get smaller before we can get everyone in shape by that day.
"But in regard to the Missouri statement, tell the rosters not to take it seriously—it might hurt them. stuff is not good in large doses."

MORNING PRAYERS
Leader, Prof. A. C. Terrill.
Subjects:
"Friday, "The Will of God."
"Some persons do not go any farther than the law requires in their home life," said Prof. A. C. Terrill in chapel this morning, "and the result is that we have a house and not a room. We get the most good out of our study in our requirements. That spirit of putting more into a thing than any one would ask, should go all through our lives. One of the fundamental things of Christian religion is to do more than one is required. In our lives, if we were church membership and do nothing more than living a Christian life. The busy ones in church work are the ones who are getting the most out of religion."
