Several Hundred Students Give Vent to Enthusiasm in Monster Midnight Rally
To the thunderous tune of a rally march played on several hundred dishpans, tubs, telephone and electric light poles, wooden boxes, frontporches, in fact almost everything capable of producing noise, a large crowd of students swept up and down the street, with a few clapping at 1:30 q'clock last night in a tremendously successful attempt to work up pen for the Oklahoma game.
It began on the corner of Fourteenth and Tennessee. Four or five lusty throats and about the same number of paddies and dishpans gave the rally call—longly, loudly, and enthusiastically. And the response to it was a gang of several hundred men.
Forming in an irregular column, the small army charged up the Hill, turning west on Oread. Thence the mob went down Indiana and east on Ninth street to Massachusetts, paying vociferous visits to all the fraternity and sorority houses along the line and cheering for Fast, James, and various other football stars as the residences of said football stars were passed. The trail was marked by numerous bonfires, two of which resulted in a call for the fire department.
At every step the ranks were increased. Every fraternity house furnished its quotas, every side street gave forth new recruits. Some were clad in pajamas, some in sweaters, some in bathrobes, and some—of a kind of nature—sported white collars. But all were of one mind, one purpose.
On Massachusetts and Tenth, an immense bonfire was built. As the merry flames shot high into the air, the night raiders danced a wardance around the fire. A second fire caught further south on Massachusetts.
Near the corner of Ninth and Indiana, some one spied a grocery wagon in a dark alley. The vehicle was immediately pressed into service and soon filled with a big load of boxes.
As the pile of boxes burned three or four garbage cans were filled with torches and hoisted to the top of the courthouse flagstaff. The ropes were then released, and the cans dropped to the ground with a rattle and a roar, leaving a tail of sparks behind. He was dragged by a roaring, Sky Rocket, and was symbolic of the fate of awaiting Oklahoma next Saturday.
After a rousing Rock Chalk, the rally came to a close and the peaceful quête of the night one move on the deserted street; of Lawrence.
ADVANCED STUDENTS ARE NOT TO BE SUSPENDEL
None of the seventy-five upperclassmen, who were confronted with suspension because they had not turned in their records of advanced standing will be suspended, according to a statement made this morning by Prof. H. P. Cady, chairman of the committee on advanced standing,
"All of the students, who enrolled with advanced standing have turned in their records from other schools so none will be suspended," said Professor Cady. "An extension of the time limit to November 1 was made by the Board and the faculty of their own, were unable to turn in their credentials at this time."
FORTY-FIVE TRYING OUT
FOR "THE WITCHING HOUR"
More than forty-five students are trying for places in the cast of "The Witching Hour," twenty-four names being added to the list during the tryouts in Green Hall Theater last night. A third tryout was held this afternoon, at which an equal number of contestants was expected to appear. Today's contest closes the preliminaries. Final tryouts will be held next week. "We hope to announce the cast by next Friday," said Prof. Arthur MacMurray, director of the play, this morning.
"There is an abundance of splendid material among those who tried out," continued Professor MacMurray, "and I am immensely pleased with their showing. Although a number of them are often the cast, several will be recommended for membership in the Dramatic Club."

The whistle suffered a relapse this morning, and as a result many classes were held overtime. The whistle has been very feeble for several weeks, and grave doubts are entertained as to its recovery.
Monday's lessons suffered "badly when the Union Pacific train due here at 5:52 p. m. did not arrive till half past nine Sunday night. K. U. rooters who stayed over Sunday in Manhattan found almost four hours on their hands at the train station put in hard work climbing Prospect hill which is just across the river, and affords an extensive view of the surrounding country.

The girls in the extension department and a few others are planning a "wienie" roast for Wednesday evening at Potter's Lake.
Bessie Wilbite, a junior in the College, spent Saturday and Sunday visiting her parents in Kansas City.
The classes for teaching English to the Mexicans of Lawrence, that the City Y. M. C. A. conducted with the aid of several University students last winter will be re-organized this evening. These classes were very successful last winter. The Mexicans learned not only enough English to care for themselves in an English-speaking community, but also better ways of living. The students that taught these classes were tendered a number of really good banquets by the Mexicans who were grateful for the attention and aid given to them. A number of unique but warm friendships sprang up of the kind that are worth while, the students think.
C. M. Clark, the clothes cleaner, is again offering free presses to the men who make touchdowns in the football game Saturday. So far the Gillespie brothers, Fast, Wood, Holt, Reber, Lindsey, Fitzgerald, Heath have benefited. Clark figures that he may have to press 24 suits before the season ends, but would be willing to press 50.
Between forty and fifty K. U. folks attended the Homecoming Dance given in the Aggie Gym, last Saturday night in honor of the Letter Men of the Aggie athletic squad. They were about four hundred couples on the floor, counting the Aggies their alumni and the K. U. folks. A seven piece orchestra furnished the music for the occasion, and the floor of the gymnasium was in flue odor for dancing. Before the dancing, the various literary societies which have rooms in the building he'd open house for the students and their friends.
Despite the fact that last year was the most unsuccessful' in its history, the Quill club, at its meeting at the Kanza house last night, made plans for the biggest year since its organizations and will begin a campaign for new members immediately. Prof. E. M. Hopkins, who is actively interested in the work of the society, which is a national' organization with several chapters, was present and outlined what he considered a desirable policy for the club to follow this year.
Subcribers for the Oread Magazine last year, who did not receive the three copies of the magazine that they paid for, will be furnished with the copies this year or if they prefer will be refunded their money. A series of unfortunate events has publicized the issues of the magazine impossible last year, but the club intends to repay all subcribers and will start work at once
The first literary program of the year will be held a week from Wednesday night and will be posted on the bulletin board in Fraser Hall the last of this week. A committee composed of the president Lucille Hildinger, as chairman, Katherine Macoubrie, Sibyl Rose and M. W. Vaughn, was appointed to arrange the program.
The Quill club is one of the oldest student organizations in the University and was founded to encourage original literary composition. All students who are interested are eligible and should present manuscripts of their work to Miss' Hildinger or leave them in the Quill box in Fraser Hall. Meetings are held every two weeks at 8 o'clock in the evening and a program of original literary work by the members is given.
The organization became national several years ago and chapters were placed in mid-western schools. A petition is now in the hands of the national officers to admit another national organization of college writers on the Pacific coast, which, if it is allowed will make the club the largest of its kind in the United States.
Kansan Board To Meet
A meeting of the Kansan Board is called for this evening at 7:15. Important business,
ITS EXPENSIVE TO KEEP LIBRARY BOOKS OVER TIME
The library this year has instituted a system of fines for all books that are overdue. Books taken out of the library may be kept for three weeks, after that a fine of two cents a day must be paid.
"We had to adopt this rule," said Miss Clara Gilham, assistant librarian. "Students got into the habit of bringing back books long over due, and sometimes did not bring them back at all. Now we shall have a way for forcing students to bring them on time. It is the same system that is used in all large libraries."
O MY! THAT SOONERS EYE!
Gaitskill's Crowd of Pep Instillers
Will Rally Tomorrow Afternoon on McCook
O, Me! O, My.
Won't we black that Sooner's eye.
Won't we heep, won't he yelp,
When we get that Sooner's scalm.
The football squad will board its special car at the Santa Fe depot tomorrow night and will leave Lawrence at 11 o'clock. Coach Hamilton said that the team would go to bed on the car here so the evening's demonstration will be held early. The announcement of the details of the rally will be made tomorrow so that it will be an organized affair.
A big rally tomorrow afternoon at McCook, when the football team comes out for the last practice they will have before leaving for Norman, and another demonstration in the evening when the squad boards the train at the Santa Fe depot is the program for this week's enthusiasm meetings as announced by Joe Gaitskill this morning.
So cancel that appointment, put off that work until a later hour, or if you have a class, test your professor's lenency by explaining the situation and by what means slip down to Me. At 3:30 and contribute your share of pep.
Tomorrow afternoon, when the first open practise this week, will be held, the team, the coaches and the cheerleaders will expect to see every student who can possibly come to be on hand at McCook Field to help make sure students are ready for the real Kansas spirit before leaving to tackle the speedy Southers.
Leon M. Bocker, K. U. '15, arrived in Lawrence Saturday night from Pittsburgh, Penn., where he is employed by the Westinghouse Electric Co. Mr. Bocker is one of fourteen scouts sent out by the Westinghouse Co., to look over the graduating engineers of the various engineering schools. Mr. Bocker will spend the week here, talking to the upperclass engineers about the conditions and requirements of the Westinghouse Co., with regard to its student employees.
WESTINGHOUSE COMPANY
ENGINEERING SCOUT HERE
In talking to a Kansean reporter this morning, Mr. Bcker said, "It is rather significant to me that out of the one hundred and twenty universities represented in the Westinghouse Co., only sixy are on the approval list and K. U. is among them. Furthermore, out of those sixty big schools, only fourteen were fortunate enough to have Westinghouse scouts assigned to look over their graduates."
Mr. Boeker will return to Pittau-
burg at the end of the week to resume
work.
Pretzels and cider were served to the students who attended the meeting of the German Verein Monday afternoon. A humorous farce was given in the German language. The next meeting of the Verein will be held Monday afternoon, November 8, in Room 313, Fraser.
Verein Meets
New Bible Classes Open
The Rev, Stanton Olinger will conduct two Bible study courses at Westminster Hall this winter. The classes will meet on each Thursday and Friday at 4:30 for an intensive study of the Book of Amos with its modern, social application, will be the course. F.W. Hullett will take class in Hebrew Poets on each Wednesday at 4:30 at the Westminster house. These classes are without fee and open to all men and women of the University.
COUNGIL MAKES RULES
Plans Co-op Book Exchange Only Freshmen Need Wear Postage Stamps
A co-operative book exchange will probably be installed next semester if the Student Council follows the plan. A representative appointed to investigate the plan.
At the meeting last night the committee gave a report favoring the location of a book exchange in some building on the campus, preferably Fraser Hall. They suggested that the scheme be tried out for one semester as an exchange for second-hand books, a commission of ten per cent to be charged for running expenses. If the plan should succeed, new books would be stocked the following semester and the store would be put on a permanent footing. Final action will be taken soon and details of location and management settled.
The Council also took final action on the cap question. The new ruling is that no first year men will be compelled to wear freshman caps unless they have freshman standing. There has been considerable sentiment against making the upperclassmen who come from other schools wear caps as it tends to identify them with the freshmen, and the Council hopes that this ruling will settle the question.
GO TO CHURCH ON NOV. 14
University Sunday Services_That Day Will Be Held Especially for the Student
November fourteenth will be "University Sunday" in every church in Lawrence. The services that day will be especially for the students, and it is hoped that at least fifteen hundred students will be out.
"Last year the total was one thousand," said Rev. Gordon Bennett Thompson, student pastor of the Methodist church, "and surely we can increase it by five hundred this year." The church will continue its program. The methodist church plans to have a service not only for students, but conducted by them.
"We are going to take advantage of the fact that the Kansas-Nebraska game will come the day before; and we plan to keep the visitors over for Sunday," said Mr. Thompson. "We hope to make this Sunday a big day, which will stand out in the history of will stand out in the history of the churches.
"We expect the religious number of the Kansan, which will be published on the eleventh, and which will contain detail's of every phase of every church's program to do much to influence the attendance. If the students will only help—it will be a Big Day."
Junior Women to Organize
Junior Wolken to organize Margaret McElvin, the chairman of the junior girls' mixer committee will call a meeting soon, to decide on the character and date of the first mixer. The mixer must be soon, according to Miss McElvin, as we want to get all of the junior girls' together. A steak roast has been suggested, as being preferable to a party, but nothing can be decided until we have a meeting.
Caroline McNutt, Helen Robinson,
and Dorothy Riddle spent Friday and
Saturday in Kansas City.
Donald Thompson accompanied by Henry Pegues and Marvin Taylor spent Saturday and Sunday in Junction City, where he had whattan to attend the Akgame game.
MORNING PRAYERS
Leader, Prof, F. W. Ainale.
General! Subject, "God's Plans and
Misfortune."
Thursday, "Who Art Thou, Lord?" Friday, "The Will be Be done."
"I Have Sinned" is the subject upon which Rev. Ainsley spoke this morning. He said in part: "God has an ideal for every life and it is for one to find that ideal, and to follow it when he has found it. Sin is the failure to do this. It is much wiser and more useful than not for one to use his talents independently of the wishes of his Heavenly Father."
