The University Daily Kansan proposes to publish the news of the campus, in particular that of the campus. Space in this column is not for sale at any price, and the prices of student stuids, and no attention is paid to whether shops are advertisers or sellers. Bargains at Lawrence stores are never sent in such items, Editor.
WHAT THE SHOPS OFFER
Now, that things are being done electrically, the litt'l girls are learning to keep house with electrical toys for the Kennedy Plumbing Company have a toy electric range on display in their window.
Students Find Special Attraction in the Lawrence Stores
A number of students, who have more time than money, have adopted the use of an electric iron for the pressing of their suits. At the cost of three or four dollars and a few cents each month for the extra electricity used they have found it possible to wear the ten to fifteen dollars a year without having to take their suits in better shape. The Hot Point iron, sold by the Lawrence Railway and Light Company, is being used by a number of the students.
"Sweaters and sweater-coats are no better than the materials in them," said R. E. House. The ones carried by House are products of the Pennsylvania Knitting. Millis Company, the maker of this firm is "all wool."
Local photo fiends are becoming interested in the new photo albums that have been received at Wolf's. The unusual feature of these albums are that they are built along the edge of the book! They are that any number of new leaves may be added to the book if it is desired to increase its capacity.
A good, but unintentional, imitation of the Missouri Valley championship game is pictured on the Popular Magazine cover for October 20, at Griggs. It shows two football teams in a "down," some of the men being clad in crimson and blue uniforms, while their opponents are wearing red, the color that distinguishes the Nebraska team.
In order that people may know what the "Boy Scouts are doing the Round Corner Drug Store has arranged a window shades of papers and literature on this subject. The book is "The Boy Man," which is the principal book on the Boy Scout movement.

There is a handsome display of easy chairs in C. J. Ericksen's window, among which is one of those famous Royal Easy bhairs. It is that "push the button" kind. When one pushes e button on the arm rest, a foot rests on the chair face. A chairment slides out from under the chair. This chair has a very comfortable back and is upholstered with a fine grade of leather.
To make a test of the speed of one of their new lenses, the Eastman people' recently made a "frame-up picture". The camera was planted below a bridge so as to focus on the desired area; then a negro crossed the bridge, and when he got just above the camera, he was pushed off the bridge. The resulting picture shows the whites of the negro's eyes as the larger part of his face; but in addition the individual hairs in the front of his head can be distinguished, even though he was dropping through the air at the time. The speedy camera that did the work—or its double—is on exhibition at the Evan's Drug Store. Camera fiends generally stop and take another look at it whenever they go by.
Individual, collapsible drinking cups, half a dozen to the set, are listed among the "thermos bottle accessories" on sale by Gustafson.

RAINFALL LIGHT IN OCTOBER
Precipitation Is Only .76 Inches, the Smallest in the Past 48
Years
The lightest rainfall for October in forty eight years was registered last month. The total precipitation was .76 inches, which was 20.68 inches. Rain fell in measurable quantities on only two days, the 12th and 17th.
The highest temperature record was on the 29th, when the mercury rose to 34.1 degrees and the lowest temperature was 32 degrees, registered on the 9th.
There was only one cloudy day during the month, fourteen days being partly cloudy and fifteen days entirely clear. The total run of the wind, which blew from the south or southwest most of the time, was 9-295 miles which is 1,064 miles less than the average October run.
Four earthquake occurred during the month. Two minor disturbances were recorded on the 2nd; the first lasting 25 minutes and the second, 20 minutes. The primary wave of a very prominent earthquake corded at 12:57 a.m. on the 3rd; the secondary wave at 1 o'clock, the main wave at 1:02 and the last noticeable disturbance at 2:44. The main wave of this quake was so severe that one of the recording needles on the seismograph in Blake Hall was thrown away. The earthquake was estimated as being the neighborhood of Humboldt, fourth tremor was noticed on the 11th, which was very indistinct.
Over sixty-five hundred dollars worth of tickets have been sold from Mr. Hamilton's office for the Nebraska game Saturday and many orders are still coming in. This does not include the tickets being sold in Kansas City. It is believed that the tickets will be attended on McCook field which was reached at last year's Missouri game, when over ten thousand were admitted through the gates will be equalled or exceeded Saturday. No difficulty in seating the crowd is expected to develop however, as there were plenty of bleachers at the Missouri game last year. If they are all filled standing room will be sold on the space at the east end of fthe field.

TELLS HOW GREEKS DID IT
Prof. Wilcox Says Ancient Method of Painting Sculpture is a Lost Art
Lost Art
"Painting sculpture as the Greeks did it, is a lost art," said Professor Wileo in a lecture on Greek art in the Classical Museum this morning. "Almost all Greek sculpture was painted. The pediments, the metopes, and running friezes of the Parthenon were all treated with color, ranging from delicate tints to bold heavy tones."
Professor Wilcox then went on to explain how an overcant of paint was first applied to the stone as a filler then the shading and designs were worked out in the different colors. Over this was spread a coat of wax
an iron at white heat was run ove it all, burning the color pigments in this treatment accounts for the peculiarly lasting value of their colored statuary, where it has been at all protected.
In the ceiling display of some of their architecture the design is incised rather than being drown. In the design incision may still be found in original color used. The statue of August was incised and painted in this way.
The twenty-four members of the University Gee Club will go to Topeka to entertain the audience at the regular session of the State Teachers' Association Friday morning, if none of the members prove to be ineligible. The ineligible list will be in by Thursday noon.
The little cast of Nike, or Winged Victory, of Paionios is a good example of the skilful use of paint. The Nike is a goddess descending, with wings outspread; one arm is lifted high above her head holding a propeller which billows out behind her, the propeller was tinted forming a more artistic background for the body than the dazzling white of the marble.
The only modern example of the use of color in stone is in the Panama Pacific Exposition buildings and sculpture, but it does not approach the beauty and skill of the Greek coloring. Professor Wilcox will continue his lecture at 11:30 tomorrow morning in the Museum.
Coaches in the Kansas-Nebraska dual debate will not be allowed to assist the men under their direction in a gathering of material or the selection of topics for phrasing of it, according to a rule passed last week by the debating councils of the two schools. The men will be required to drill the men in delivery only.
Eligibility for the debating team will depend on whether the members have been illegally couched. The choice in the contract reads as follows:
AUGUSTUS CAESAR
GLEEMEN WILL SING AT TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION
WON'T COACH DEBATERS
FOR HUSKER ARGUMENT
"Team membership shall be open to all students in the universities in good standing for whom faculty coaching in preparation for the contest has not included (a) the gathering of material or (b) the selection, orientation, or phrasing of material. That gathering shall be published on the official University bulletin-board; and the sending of a team into the debate will be considered official certification of the eligibility of its members."
If the entire Glee Club makes the trip, twenty will go by train and the other four will accompany Professor Downing in his car.
Only in the case of the Kansas-Nebraska debate is this rule to be in effect. It does not apply to either the Missouri or the Triangular debates.
The session will be opened with college songs and followed by "Winter's Song," then to "Mandalay," by Speaks, and then G. L. Waldo will impersonate Charley Chapin in a song. The entertainment will start at 10:30 and last twenty minutes.
Professor Downing said this morning that the Club will return in time to sing for the "pep" rally to be held Friday evening.
KNOW THE HIEROPHANTES?
The First Annual Ever Published at the University Had This Queer Name
Do you know what the Hierophantes is? Perhaps not; for it is the first Annual edited at the University of Kansas in 1873-4. You can see a copy of this book at the library, it is hardy the size of the shadow of our present Jayhawkher, and it has a paper cover of very light weight.
The Hierophantes was published by the only two secret societies that were in the University at that time, namely, by the Pi Beta Phi and the Sigma Tau Fraternity. The two pages and contained very little that pertained to the social side of the College. The faculty consisted of ten members. The classes were small, and there were just five societies: Orenad Society; Orophilanite Society; Heteraina Philhilenike, History Society, and Natural History Society.
At the beginning there is a Salutatory speech stating the reasons for the existence of the Hierophants, and it ends by saying—"Our only hope is by grappling on to the hearts of the people. This can only be accomplished by dispensing such light and information as will enable them to understand our University and its organization that can learn through the stiff details and curricula of the 'Annual Calendar' published 'By Authority.'
"With the hope then, of getting on the sunny side of the affections of our people, we send out to them the first number of the 'Hierophantes' expecting that it will be perpetuated and that in the future furnishing much authentic and interesting information that can be gained from no other source."

Didn't Have a Quorum
The meeting of the freshman girls af noon today had to be postponed until tomorrow on account of the lack of twenty-five girls which is the number necessary to transact business. The meeting will be held here during the annual Senior Hall for the election of representatives for the student government
