K. U. EDUCATORS HONORED
Admitted to the American Association of University Professors
The University of Kansas is represented in the American Association of University Professors by the following educators; C. G. Dunlsp, Carl Becker, E. H. Hollands, F. B. Dains, F. H. Foster, W. F. Blackmar, E. M. Hopkins, H. A. Millis, and A. T. Walker.
The Association held its initial meeting in New York City, January 1 and 2, 1915 with an attendance of about two hundred and fifty, and organized with a charter membership of nearly one thousand professors representing sixty-two of the leading universities and colleges in the United States. Twenty of this number are state universities, two are private universities, and one mainder are schools of high standing, such as, Bryn Mawr, Leland Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Cornell and Vassar.
Membership in the Association can be obtained by nomination from three members, with the vote of two-thirds of the total membership. A candidate, in order to be admitted, must have held, prior to his admission, a teaching or research position for ten consecutive years, either as a professor or college, and must be active in either teaching or research at the time of admission.
Send the Daily Kansan home
The purpose of the organization is to advance and uphold the high standards of the American university, and to encourage research work.
AN OLD GRAD HAS
The Daily Kansan goes up about fifty per cent on the stock exchange when old grads heap such flattery as the following upon it's service;
A GOOD HEALTH TONIC
"Enclosed please find my check covering cost of subscription for the present year. Nothing keeps us old fellows feeling young like daily association with a peppery and gingerful bunch of 90 h. p. undergraduates. I listen better tonic than the Daily Kansan, taken frequently and regularly."
The foregoing was written by Richard L. Sutton, a physician in the medical school of Yale University.
There will be a meeting of all students from Missouri in Room 110 Fraser Hall, Thursday evening, at 7 o'clock, for the purpose of organizing a Missouri club. Any student who is enrolled in Missouri is eligible to membership.
MISSOURI STUDENTS WILL
ORGANIZE A CLUB TONIGHT
Harland Hutchings, James McKay,
and John McCammon are the temporary committee in charge. "I want to see every Missouri student at this meeting," said Hutchings, chairman of the committee. "We should have a membership of about fifty, and a team of about ten to bring the students to a better understanding and to become better acquainted with each other."
Regular meetings will be held through the year and the club will be a permanent fixture at the University.

If You Are Feeling Badly Cal at the University Hospital
Call 1610 if you feel ill. There are five University doctors waiting to attend to your aches and pains. Eight beds are waiting at 1300 Louisiana to you comfort while a doctor attends to you. The nurse a nursed too. But that's not all.
Are you sick?
If you don't want to go to the hospital, or are too sick to make the trip, phone, and the nurse and doctor will call at your rooming house. You may take your own physician along with you if you wish. Any of the physicians are given the liberty of practicing at the University hospital.
The only charges attached to the hospital service is a fee for room and board; $1 a day or $5 a week. No charge is made for the attendance of the University physicians. In serious cases, such as appendicitis, the amount is taken to the University hospice house. A charge made at Rosedale is a nominal fee, to cover the cost of board and room.
Students that wish to be advised may go either to the hospital, or to any one of the five following physi- testing their regular consultation hours:
Dr. S. J. Crumbine, head of the State Board of Health and dean of the School of Medicine, will be at the hospital on Tuesdays from 9 to 10, be consulted on personal hygiene, sanitation and preventive medicine.
Dr. John Sundwalt, professor of
military medicine be at the hospital daily
from 10 to 12
Dr. Naismith will be in his office in the Gymnasium every afternoon from 2 o'clock on.
Dr. Goetz may be found in her office every afternoon from 2 to 4. Dr. E. Smith, is at the Museum from 8:30 to 12 daily.
Dr. S. A. Mathews, professor of physiology and pharmacy, will be at the hospital on afternoons from 5 to 6.
Women students may be treated for typhoid inoculation on Tuesdays from 4 to 5, and men will be taken care of from 4 to 5 on Thursdays. Dr. Sundwall again calls the attention of the students to the number of cases of diphtheria in the town and urges those who have colds or sore throats to call at the hospital for a bacterial examination. In this way further spread of diseases can be avoided.
The hospital plan as indicated, has abundant precedent, twenty-three of the leading universities of the country with a number of fees ranging from $2 to $12 per year.
Brave—But Lost the Treats
"I'll bet a nickel's worth of cigars that we can go up onto the capus without our freshman caps and not get paddled," challenged two freshmen.
"This is on the campus, isn't it?" answered the other, so they stole a camera.
The wager was taken, so late at night they neared the Museum with irresolute steps and frequent pauses, so far enough" married one.
"Run the gauntlet was right," said they later, "but we didn't mind the paddling half so much as to lose out on the treats."
When they emerged, they were
when they a long double row of paddle
welders.
"Don't you think this is far enough?" queried one.
The Sphinx held initiation at the Alpha Tau house Wednesday evening for the following men: J. C. Tracey, M. C. Miller, K. C. Reed, N. D. Gramach, J. V. Connelly, H. W. Jordan, J. B. Cross, G. C. Freick, B. T. Walton, L. C. G. Smith, E. S. Smith, H. B. Engel, E. B. Smith, J. E. Hunt, R. P. Walters, J. K. Cabibson, R. P. Hemphil, M. E. Angveine, R. P. Caudill, and A. E. Wilson.
The Sphinx society was organized in 1910 to take the place of the freshman Pan-Hellenic. Its aim of the organization to bring closer harmony among students is to create a freshman class and to create a better spirit of fellowship in the University.
Examination for Advanced Standing in German will be held Saturday morning, Dec. 4, from 9 to 12, Room 309, Fraser. Those wishing to take this examination report to the committee at once for instructions.

Should Luther Burbank, the California plant wizard, step into the K. U. Repair Shops tomorrow, he would rub his eyes in unbelief of the monstrosity he would behold there. He would see four immense pumpkins, the largest probably six feet in diameter—and for just a few minutes he would think that his best efforts had been out-done. As he drew closer, he was amazed how pumpkins were not of the garden variety, but that they had been raised in a carpenter shop—a la hammer and saw.
The pumpkins are being constructed by carpenters in the Repair Shops as a part of the decorative scheme for the All-University Halloween party in the Gym Saturday night. They are filmy affairs, with a framework of wood and a covering of golden cloth. In each one is a wall coated with polyurethane-co-eds, atticed in fair costumes will serve punchbowl and edder at the party. Each corner of the Gym floor will be decorated with one of the pumpkins. Orange and black is the color scheme to be used in clothing the Gym in its Halloween garb. Around the gallery will be stretched an orange cloth, which will serve as a background for mystical figures—witches, cats, and half-moons—to be executed in black. Immense Jack O'Lanters will be suspended from the hallway and concealed lights within them will be danced in dancing figures be 'beow'. Autumn foliage, brilliantly colored sumac, and shocks of real cinnamon fodder will be used on the lower walls.
A RELIC OF ANCIENT CUSTOM Halloween Comes Down From Superstitions Antedoting Chris-
tianity
How many are there that celebrate the 31st of October in true Halloween style, and know that, the games they play are relics of the customs of our ancestors? What is known to us as superstition, was to them a reality, and they confidently believed in all mystical signs.
Halloween, or All Hallow's Eve, as it is sometimes called, is the name given to the 31st of October as the virgil of Hallomas or All Saint's Day. Though known as little else but the eve of the old time Christian Christmas, Halloween attendant ceremonies can be traced to a time long before Christianity.
The two chief entertainments of the ancient Halloween were the lighting of bonfires and the belief that of all nights in the year, on this one ghosts and witches were most likely to wander about.
It was thought that about the first of November the Druids held their great autumn festival and lighted fires in honor of the Sun-god in thanksgiving for the harvest. In winter they cultured the wicked souls that within the past twelve months had been condemned to inhabit the bodies of animal's.

We hate to bother you with details,but we do want you to know why it is possible to do the good work we do.
The roasting of nuts and the sport known as "apple-ducking"—attempting to seize with the teeth an apple floating in a tub of water,—were once the universal occupation of the young folks in medieval England on the 31st of October. The custom of lighting Hallowen firees survived until recent years in the highlands of Scotland and Wales. It was usual "on fire," but now it is fire as many small stones as there were persons around, and the next morning a search was made. If the pebbles were moved it was a certain sign that the person represented would die within the twelve months.

The French club has been in existence here for many years and the membership generally is great. This year there are about twenty members, and visitors bring the attendance at the meetings up to as high as fifty and sixty. The French play will not be given this year as it alternates with the Spanish play, and the French club put on its play last year.
The French club, at its regular weekly meeting last night, discussed the plan of having social hours in connection with their regular meetings. The club has such a large and enthusiastic membership that these plans will probably go through. Plans have also been laid for having some noted speaker here from Paris, sometime during the year, but it is extremely hard to get a man at this time on account of the war.
