Returns at 11 p. m. last night showed that the committee which has been working for new members for the K, U, Y, M, C, A. among the students met with great success, as far as they have gone.

These results were obtained from soliciting only four or five hundred men. Every man who has not been solicited will be seen next Thursday, when another one day campaign will be wared.
"The aim to impress the students with the real work that the association is doing, rather than merely to ask for their membership and money" said a committeamen today. "There are about one thousand men to be seen yet, but we hope to reach everyone and will not be satisfied with anything less than $2000 at the final accounting."
The committeemen themselves showed the spirit each giving from five to twenty-five dollars toward the fund, besides their time and energy.
Roy Creighton was chairman of the campaign committee, with H. L. Heinzman and H. H. Grafton helping in the campaign.

The class has $30 in its memorial fund, which was raised during the sophomore year. Nothing was added to the fund last year but with a successful run this year, the men expect to expect that leave a fitting class memorial.
What the memorial will be has not yet been decided upon and J. M. Johnson, chairman of the committee, wants suggestions from all the members of the class. A sanitary drinking fountain, or pillars at the north end of campus, are two memorials that have been thought of by the committeemen.

SHOWS HOERISM IN WRECK
J. H. Sawtell, who graduated from the University in 92, displayed conspicuous heroism in rescuing, at the risk of his own life, many injured boys and girls on a United Pacific motor car wreck near Randolph, Kans., last Saturday.
The Kansas City Star says: "Heroic acts were many on the part of passengers who were themselves injured. J. H. Wassell, principal of the Manhattan high school, although severely cut and brushed on the face and body, to leave the car until every person who showed signs of life been removed. When he re-enforced the first shot, an iron bar and broke out the windows and helped many women to crawl through.

The only thing that the agricultural exhibit at the Watkin's National Bank, lacks is a placard bearing the question, "What's the matter with Kansas?"

SWORD DANCE A FEATURE
OF HALLoween PARTY
Send the Daily Kansan home.
The sword dance is of ancient origin. It is mentioned by Tacitus in his writings in the second century. Later the Anglo-Saxons got it from their German ancestors. But it was the Scotch who modified it and mule it famous. As the Scotch dance it, the Welsh danced it, and it placed on the ground and the dancer dances over the mand around them but must not touch either.
A feature of Mrs. Eustace Brown's Halloween party on October 30, will be a double sword dance by James Porter, who played the physical education department.
In ancient times the Scotch warriors danced the sword dance on the battlefield after a victory. It has been called "the Scottish epic," because it commemorates the struggles of the Scotch for freedom.
It was often danced on the eve of battle, and if the dancer touched either sword or scabbard, his mishap was considered an evil enom.

KANSAS, MISSOURI AND
NEBRASKA A May DEBATE

Hill, however, will allow to go Lincoln this evening to arrange for a dual debate with Nebraska and possibly for a triangular debate with Nebraska and Missouri. So far, Nebraska has been unwilling to enter into such an agreement with Missouri but it is thought that such an arrangement would be in favor of such a plan for some time and all that is needed is the indorsement of Nebraska.
At the meeting of the Debating Council a committee was also appointed to secure a list of available judges for the year's debates. Those on the committee are, chairman, Prof. Curtis, Astra, E. M. Johnson, and Mert Smith.

COLLEGE WOMAN A SHAM Has Been Brought to Self Realization Says Y. M. C.A.
Worker
That the American college woman is selfish and her supposed altruism is merely a sham was the essence of the remarks made by H. L. Heinzman, International Y. M. C. A. W. C. a yesterday
"The American college woman has not yet been brought to self-realization She gives with not any of the spirit of the true giver," observed Mr Heinzman. "She has a big broad lesbian heart from her sisters over the ocean."
The speaker pointed out the fact that England, a warring nation, had given ten times more than the United States and that the people of this country thought they have given a great deal. He further showed that it was the woman's duty to campaign for relief supplies and that it was her task to help by making articles of clothing.
"The women at an Eastern college who gave up their chicken one Sunday that it might go to the Belgians, thought they were doing a great deal," remarked Mr. Heinzman, "but if they could see the suffering and sacrifice of the women over in Europe 'hey would be ashamed of chicken."
Mr. Heizman then told how the European women were sacrificing in the trenches and on the battlefields in loyalty to their country. "Midst of war, all men who had rank are seen working among the wounded and suffering," said he.
"It is my earnest hope," said the speaker, "that the woman of Kansas will come to the full self realization of the terrible conditions in Europe and come in fellowship with the campaign to aid the suffering."
More than one hundred and fifty women gathered yesterday on the Hill above Marvin Grove to hear Mr. Heinzman.
LAWRENCE HIGH STUDENTS
MAKE ENVIABLE RECORI
In the matter of efficiency, the graduates of Lawrence high school, class of '14, have established a record in the University, according to statistics in the office of the registrar. These show that during the first semester last year, sixty-six of the Lawrence highs of '14 carried a total of 900 hours work, with 92 per cent of passing grades, counting all "not examined" and "unremoved conditions" as outright failures.
The student branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers will meet Thursday evening, October 21 at 1122 Ohio. The meeting will be given over to a discussion of oxyacetylene welding.
As to grades, it is shown that there were thirty per cent of the hours passed of grade I, and forty-four per cent with grade II, making nearly ten percent of the passing work done with grades of 80 per cent or better.

ROOTERS TO BE CATTLE
Thundering Thousands May Go to Oklahoma Game Via Fast Freight—Cost About $5.00
The Sooners may be surprised to find a big crowd of K. U. rooters as well as a football squad invading their territory on the 30th of this month if the plans that are now under way for chartering a cattle car materialize. Reducing railway fare to about $5,00 will allow many more to take the trip. There has been a great deal of enthusiasm over the project of taking a good representation of the "Thundering Thousand" with the team, but considerable doubt has been raised on the part of the railroad authorities as to whether it can be done. According to the rules of the Interstate Commerce Commission the plans would hardly be legal, but Paul Brindle who was one of the original agitators of the idea has written to the General Passenger Agent of the Santa Fe and the Rock Island in Topeka, and whether or not the students will be allowed to travel to Norman classed as cattle will be definitely known this afternoon.
In case the car or cars can be chartered for the rooters the plans are to leave here Thursday night or early Friday morning, and go to Kansas City, thence to Oklahoma City by fast freight. There is a 24-hour service on a fast freight line between Kansas City and Oklahoma City so that there should be no doubt as to the possibility of making connections in time to catch the interurban from Oklahoma City into Norman in time to see the game. Another feature which should not scare any loyal rooter out of the idea of going is the necessity of signing a release, relieving the railroad company of any responsibility in case of accident.
"The slight danger of accident, the spice of about fifty companions in a cattle car, and the probability of getting an arrow stuck to make a trip long to be remembered," said Joe Gaitskill, when asked what he thought of the plan.
