THOUSANDS WILL COME
The seats slowest to go are those reserved for the Kansas roots "The men must realize that it is up to them to get their tickets immediately," said Coach Hamilton this morning.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 8, 1915.
Town
The Law Scrim will be given in Robinson Gymnasium this year, instead of Fraternal Aid Hall, as in the past. The change was made necessary because of the fact that the dining room at Fraternal Aid, which played an important part in former Scrims, is being converted into offices.

"Tickets for the event will be placed on sale soon, according to
GYM WORK NOT TOO HARD FOR UNIVERSITY WOME
"The purpose of our department of physical education and, the work which we accomplish are not generally understood rightly over the state," said Dr. Alice L. Goetz, head of the women's physical training department. "So many people have the idea that we are working the women too hard, or that they are teaching them nothing but fancy dancing. What we are trying to do is to develop the women physically so that their minds will be more capable of doing the work assumed them in class rooms.
“At the beginning of each year the women are put through a physical examination, so that we can find out if any of them need corrective gymnasmian, if they do need it, they are assigned to special classes, and forms of gymnastic exercises which will remedy their faults. In many cases they are rather uninteresting camisthenics with folk dances and games, so that the women will not feel that their gymnasmian work is monotonous.
There will be a meeting in regard to rooming houses for women at 11:30 o'clock Tuesday morning in Mrs. Brown's office.
"Of course we have aesthetic dancing taught in regular classes, too," continued Dr. Goetz, "but these are not the kind of students whose state need not feel that we are forcing instruction in dancing upon their children."
Oklahoma Club will hold a mixe in Myers Hall Wednesday evening at 8:30.
SENIORS, HAVE YOU HAD
YOUR PICTURES TAKEN YET?
Seniors only have three more weeks in which to have their pictures taken, according to the statement of a nonprofit organization of the 1914 Jayhawker yesterday. The alphabetical arrangement to be used in this year's book makes it impossible to accept any pictures after they have been closed on November 30th.
"Seniors should have their pictures taken at once," says Busenbark. "At Missouri every senior has had his picture taken and they are in the picture." You can get it by getting the pictures in early, the engraver can do better work.
Juniors who had their picture taken for last year the Jayhawker do not have to make it. They get a twenty-five or fifty ten a squeeze print will be made from the old plate.
TEN WEEKS SUMMER SCHOOL
University Senate Lengthens Warm Weather Term—Can Make 10 Hours Credit
The University Senate, at its regular meeting last week decided to extend the Summer Session one week, and the Senate will continue instead of six and three weeks, as in previous years. The Senate also discussed the dance rule, and decided to put it before the Student Interests Council committees to get an opinion.
The change from nine to ten weeks in the summer session has been debated upon since early last spring. Dr. Hirschman, Prof. E. F. Engel, secretary, "students will be able to make ten credits, whereas in previous years they have been able to make only nine. This will give them a great deal better method than the old one, because it furnishes one-third of a year's work, and, therefore, will be an inducement to those men and women over the state who are unable to work. In the winter, but are anxious to make a year's work in the summers."

CAN'T CHARTER CATTLE CARS University Students Must Travel to Missouri Game in First Class
Too bad, Mr. Student, but if you have been patting yourself on the back, thinking of how much hard work you put in to the Missouri game disguised as a Texas longhorn or a lump of Arkansas coal, you will be sadly displeased by companies absolutely refuse to ship you pas sengers as either cattle or coal.
It was announced Saturday in a letter to Ralph Ellis, who was pushing the catt-e-car proposition, that the Wahab authorities declined to charter their rolling stock to the 500 students who had petitioned them for cars in which to ride to the Missouri State Fair. The governor gave the giving day. With the refusal of the Wahab, the last hope of the knights of the side-door pulman is blasted, as the Santa Fe and Union Pacific have both refused to furnish cars.
The risk that the railroad companies would assume with such charges in its cattle or coal cars is given as the reason for its decision. The company also branded as false insurance in the past that cars to be used in such a manner by Kirksville students going to St. Louis recently.
By answering to the roll call with "congratulations" instead of "present," students who were "wise" to the news last week made known to their fellow students the fact of Prof. Arthur MacMurray's marriage to Mrs. Julia V. McNerney, of St. Joseph Missouri. October 30.
ANSWFRFS ROLL CALL BY "CONGRATULATIONS"
The geology classes took their first trip of the year Saturday morning, leaving Haworth Hall at eight o'clock they journeyed out south of the campus, and, circling eastward returned to, a point a couple of blocks north of Mount Oread. Professor Twenhofel accompanied the classes, the students, the various rock and soil formations to be found about the campus and told of changes in topography due to former river work here.
Following the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. MacMurray came by automobile to Lawrence, where they will soon be at home at 1234 Tennessee street.
Professor MacMurray is the head of the department of public speaking in University. He came here last year from Iowa State College at Ames.

MANY ATTEND SCHOOLS K. U. SEAL INARTISTIC?
Report of Board of Administa tion Shows 15,000 Enrolled in Eight Institutions
Fifteen thousand students are enrolled in the eight state educational institutions of Kansas, according to the second annual report of the Board of Education, and they are under the instruction of an enthusiastic faculty, who, although they may have been offered higher salaries elsewhere, are glad to remain in Kansas, where they are encouraged to participate in a new opportunity to do advanced work.
The idea of having women advisers in the state institutions has passed the experimental stage and is a decided success, says the report. These advisers have led by leading and directing the social activities of the students and in making the institutions more democratic. Especially is this true at the University where most of the functions in which all the students participate, has been established.
The employment of students to do janitor service and other kinds of work around the institutions has made it possible for many deserving men and women to attend the schools. More than half of the students in the state institutions earn all or part of their way through school.
Have Opportunities to Work
The University had the advantage during the past year of a magnificent religious campaign conducted by the school. Of this we should be felt in the University for Sixty per cent of the students in the institutions are church members and eighty-five per cent are church attendants; while in the state at large three per cent of the citizens are church members or church attendants.
University Sends Out Music
Music at the University has advanced rapidly. The music school is named after Robert Browne, as the schools of law, engineering, and medicine. Realizing that much of the yearly expenditure for music wasted upon poor music, the extension program sends good music to the people of the state.
The extension department of the University has also accomplished more in Kansas cities have come to realize the importance of this work and every city in Kansas has been made better place in which to rear children.
The duplication of the work in the several schools has been more closely correlated, the tendency for useless duplication checked, and the sphere of each school more closely defined, and plans to still further curtail the unnecessary duplications, and to coordinate the work of the several institutions.
A definite syllabus for use in Bible schools and Sunday schools of the state, credit for work done in Bible schools, a survey of the manufacturing possibilities of the state, and a survey of the extension work in the several institutions, are some of the things planned for the ensuing year.
"It is high time the County Clubs were organizing and selecting their speakers for the Christmas holidays," says Willard Glascó, secretary of the County Clubs' Association. "If each club is to obtain the speaker it must put in its bid early. A meeting with association will be called shortly and I want to urge each club to elect representatives to this meeting."
COUNTY CLUBS TO SELECT HOLIDAY SPEAKERS SOON
"New officers will be elected and the business of securing speakers for the various clubs will be taken on the date of the meeting will be announced; the meantime I would like to see the presidents of the different clubs."
Chancellor Strong, Mrs. Eustace Brown, Doctor Goetz, and Manager Hamilton will be the speakers. Women who intend to attend are requested to call Mona Clare Huffman, 1198 Bell, so that those who are in charge of the roast may know as to how many to prepare for.
Women to Rally for Wienie Roast
The women of the University will have a leadership session next afternoon at 5 o'clock. They will meet in front of the library and march to the hill just back of the Adelaide College, where they will hold their rally.

"Moses and Burning. Bush" Is Inappropriate on University Stamp, Says Professor
"The seal of the University of Kansas is inartistic," declares Prof. W. A. Griffith, professor of drawing and painting.
A seal, according to Professor Griffith, is used as an embossment and as such, the University seal can not well be used. The design of Moses and the burning bush is an attempt to be realistic. As a design element, the bush has the bas-relief. Besides, the University seal has no symbolic significance.
Prof. M. W. Sterling, of the department of Greek, says, in regard to the seal, "Some people think that it is cruel. I would not have chosen it." He then gave an account of its origin.
When the Regents of the University wished to have a seal for the school, as Professor Relies relating, Chancellor Oliver suggested that Moses and the burning bush should be adopted as the emblem. Professor Robinson, one of the early teachers has quoted the Chancellor as saying, "The bush and the burnish typify Kansas and its struggle." Although the bush was on fire with war, murder, and strife, it was not destroyed."
"The seal," Professor Sterling states, "perhaps had some symbolic significance in the days of early Kanak societies; it now a A seal may become appropriate, but when once adopted, it is hard to change for another."
URGES CHANGE IN SINGING
Chancellor's Criticism Endorsed by the Dean of the School of Fine Arts
Dean Butler, of the fine arts school holds the same view as the Chancellor. When asked his opinion by a reporter yesterday he said, "My opinion is that the students sing it to fast. I look upon the 'Alma Mater' song of a school as being sacred and the reak meaning of it is lost when it is sung like a march. The Cornell 'Alma Mater' has the same melody as ours and they always sing it slowly and with great feeling. I believe that is a better way. Another thing is that we sing it far too often. It should be done to see at any affair and then it should be the song. It sounds out of place and is demanding to sing it four or five times and that will make the students lose interest in it. Moreover I was surprised to find that many of the students, and not only freshmen, do not know the words to the song. It does not speak well for K. U. spirit that such a condition should exist."
The question regarding the singing of "Crimson and Blue" has again been brought up - whether the students sing it too fast or too slow. This question has come up many times before and has never been decided, and even now there are various opinions on the matter. Chancellor Strong and the president of the Belfair Art School hold that it should be sung slower while Pressor Downing, also of the fine arts school, thinks it is sung too slow.
Chancellor Strong gave his opinion of the matter to a Kansan reporter yesterday, "I believe that our 'Crimson and Blue' really is sung too fast. It would sound much better to me if it were sung slower and with more volume; moreover it is sung too often and the real meaning of the song is lost."
Professor Downing, holds the opposite opinion. When interviewed yesterday he gave his opinion as follows: "The song should be sung faster. It seems to me that the students, through force of habit have let it drag until all interest in it is lost. It is like a college yell, where, if the cheerleader does not keep up the 'pep' and swing all the effect is lost, 'be]eve if the song is sung with lots of 'snap' it will give the best effect."
SIXTEEN GLEE SINGERS
GO TO TOPEA FRIDAY
The class standing of the twenty-five who are trying out for the Glee club is being investigated previous to the trip, and will take the trip to Topeka on Friday.
"Only sixteen of those trying out will be picked to make the trip Nov. 12," said Paul Sautter, "and we are waiting for the report of the faculty before making public the personnel of the club."
ARCHITECTURAL DEPT.
GETS PLASTER CASTS
Twenty-four plaster-of-Paris architectural casts have been received from Boston by the architectural department of the School of Engineering. They are the first of a large collection of architectural casts which the department hopes to build up in the future. They will serve as working models for all the classes in designing and structure work.
The collection includes excellent examples of famous types of architectural ornamentation—representative gothic, Gothic and Renaissance designs for friezes on columns and buildings. The casts were purchased from P. P. Caproni and Brothers, the foremost sculpturing company in the United States.
Professor Goldsmith hopes to
and possibly equip of like kind and

DR. HALL TELLS MEN DAY
OF "WILD OATS" IS PAST "Wild Dawn," which a young man's that wild day, he condoles and in which there can be good standard of morals has past, was the central idea advanced by Dr. Winfield Scott Hall in a lecture on "The Young Man's Problem" given in Frasier Hall before an audience of university men Sunday afternoon. Dr. University men Sunday varied experience with a simple direct manner, which leaves a deep impression upon his hearers.
"There was a time when we looked with complacency upon the misdeeds of young men and humorously spoke of them as "wild oats" but that time is past. After one sees the vast mercy of being entailed by the innocent consequence of our guilt, there exists no alternative, but to do away with this foolish idea of sowing wild oats and at the same time escaping the penalty."
"Man is the king of creation. He is noted for his strength, the fire in his eye, and his muscular power and bravery. His blessings should be crowned by self-love. Along with mental vigor and physical virility should go moral power.
"The old double standard of morals must go. In its place must come a higher standard of morals among the men of our land. It is impossible to accept that would flow from such a step if taken by the majority of young men.
"We, as human beings should remember that we in the day of judgment will be held accountable for the deeds done in the body. An allwise word is so good that obligation upon us and we must live up to it or pay the penalty.
"I appeal to the young men of this University to carry this message to their younger brothers throughout the state. They need it. They look up to you with respect as a chosen member of men. If this message comes from you, it is bound to bear fruit. As your brother helps beg of you to spread this idea, your friends may climb to higher heights of manhood."

CHOOSE DEBATING SQUAD Eight Men Form Nucleus for Teams Which Will Oppose University of Nebraska
Following a tryout in white twenty-eight new men appeared, eight were appointed last Friday as members of the debating squad from which two teams, opposing the Union, A. H. Shinn and O. H. Burns, former inter-collegiate debaters, were appointed captains of the teams. The six men who are to work for places are: Raymer McQuiston, E. F., P. Whitehead, E. Whitehead,骏卫ason, Clarendon Haighurst, and Edward C. Hake.
The squad will work together on material for a week or ten days, when two of the eight will be dropped. The remaining six will be divided into teams, one of which will work on the negative side of the Nebraska question, and the other, upon the affirmative.
Friday, December 10 is the date set for the debate, but a telegram received this morning from the Nebraska Council asks for postponement until January 7, the date originally by Kansas. Should the date be changed, the team will not be bosen until later.
Resolved, "That the United States Should immediately Increase Her Armament" is the question for debate between the two schools. The affair is dual, each institution defending both the affirmative and the negative side. Two teams, of three men, play on opposing varsities. Participants in the debate are given credit for two hours work in the University curriculum.
"Twice as many men as I expected tried out for places on the squad," said Coach Howard T. Hill this morning. "I am immensely pleased with the interest and spirit shown. Owing to the short time in which we had to make our decisions, they were very good material, and I want to urge everyone man who failed to land a place this time to try out later in the year, when the Missouri and Triangular squads are to be appointed."

d the First Lutheran church, Kansas
Subjects
Wednesday, "The Infineat."
Thursday, "The Light of the
them."
Fridav. "Inspiration."
"That which we know seems a great deal," said Dr. Andreas Bard this morning at chapel; "that which is a great deal is much greater. Science is a great thing that is able to answer these paramount questions, 'What is the life hereafter?' What is the Creator? Much profound thinking will lead us back to a deeper reality and natray. I do not believe that aethics exist among scientists. As the soul is behind the mortal, so God is behind the universe. If anyone can come to you and throw any light on our lives, he should let him speak and in God's name let us open our hearts and take in that for which our whole being craves."
