The Bible classes were well tended. 467 men enrolled in church student classes. One hundred were reached by campus group classes and eleven groups held meetings once a week during the whole of the year.
Whether the cross country team will enter the Western Conference cross country run at Wisconsin University Nov. 20 depends upon the showing that the athletes make at the Missouri Valley race here the day of the Nebraska game, according to Manager W, O. Hamilton.
"The tryouts last Saturday resulted just about as we expected," he said today. "I think that the real race at this time is between Ames and Kansas. Missed the pool showing at last year's race, and Nebraska has not as yet entered."
To Announce Cast Soon
The cast of "The Witchhail Hour" will not be announced for several days, according to a statement made this morning by Prof. Arthur Mac
Murray, coach of the play. Three parts yet remain unassigned. Additional tryouts are being held this week. A reading of the play will be given to the team, along with members of the cast who have already been chosen participating.

Volunteer Band at K. U. Has Weekly Class in Foreign Country Life
Investigation of the work being done by the foreign missionaries, representing the different churches, is a new phase of the student mission work that is being taken up this year by the K. U. Student Volunteer Bank.
The organization, which is composed of twenty-four members, meets each Wednesday night in Myers Hall to discuss the problems being done by the foreign boards of their respective churches. A part of each meeting is devoted, while a portion is devoted to discussion of national problems and mission work.
The purposes of the band are to interest University students in foreign missionary work, and to train them for the work by means of mission study classes. Only those who are intending to take up the work of a foreign missionary are eligible for membership.
Miss Heen Haggard, the student traveling-secretary of the Volunteer Band will be in Lawrence November 18. The K. U. organization at that time.
On December 5th the band will have its annual deputation's meeting at the various downtown churches. All the young peoples' meetings at the churches on that day will be in charge of members of the band and the services will be devoted to a study of the foreign mission work.
The organization is a branch of an international movement in many universities and colleges and is incorporated in the World's Student Christian Federation, of which John R. Mott is the leader.
Many Kansas student volunteers are engaged in active service in the foreign field. One of the best known of these is H. C. (Dad) Herman, who was graduated from the University of Louisville and from Y. M. C. in India, India. Other representatives are working in China, the Philippines, and in Mexico.

Trinity Lutheran Church and its pastor is interested in every noble student enterprise. It is the desire of those in charge of the affairs of the Church to be of the greatest possible assistance to young men and women of the University. The Church stands ready to encourage and actively in every way it can in all that pertains to the social, physical, and spiritual life of every individual student.
While this is our attitude towards all we have a special interest in those who have expressed a preference for the Lutheran faith.
