"Blondie" Jones, Junior President, Passes Plums to 113 Classmates
"Blondie" Jones, president of the junior class, announced his committee appointments this morning. "Blondie" is the last class president to make the announcement but he explains his hardiness by the fact that he had a larger distribution to make than any of the others. One hundred and thirteen names are included in the list.
Two new committees have been formed, the publicity committee, and the woman's mixer committee. "The boys have always had their smokers," explained Blondie this morning, "and so I thought it would be no more than right that the girls should have their mixer."
Both the men's smoker and the woman's mixer committee is expected to pat on three or four entertainments during the year. The memorial committee already has some forty dollars on its hands from last year and expect to raise one hundred and twenty-five million so that all the expense will not fall upon the over-hurden seniors of next year.
The committees are as follows:
Social: chairman, Henry S. Pegues, Fred J. McEwen, Rebekah B Cooper, Harry Harlan.
Memorial: chairman, Willard M. Glasco, Walter A. German, Lucele Blackfan, Edwin W. Hullinger, Constant Porier, I. B. Riggs, Percy D. Hammond, Ernest E. Young, Lewis Hull, Ralph Chapman, Hareld W Arlin, Anne Childs, James C. Fishback, Lyle Anderson.

Another week has slipped by and the Oklahoma rooters do not know yet who Bennie Owen will pick for his regular backfield. McCain, McCaish, Geyer, Johnson, Poster, Meyers, Edwards, Howline, Cline, Swatek, and Lively were all used behind the line in the game with Northwestern. The Missouri game will doubtless bring out a more definite line-up. We would worry, too, if we had too many good backfield men that we didn't know who to keep out.

Plain Tales from the Hill
W. J. Miller of Topeka, a former football star, will answer to roll call at the game Saturday.
W. A. Whitaker, a medic student at Rosedale visited with friends on the campus this week.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 15, 1915.
Prof. Howard T. Hill entertained the freshmen for whom he is adviser at a smoker at the Acacia house where he was born and mentions were served to twenty-one.
Don Burrett, a senior Law from Chanute, has recently invested in an old Ford. It is an ancient roadster that was built in 1908 and incidently was the 202nd car ever made by the Ford Company. It shows its age in every respect, and is inclined to make a sedate stop whenever it sees a hill.
A. M. Hills, doctor of theology, arrived in Lawrence Monday from Manchester, England. Where he has been the last three years teaching in the Seminary. Mr. Hills visited with his son, Dwight, sophomore College, until Tuesday evening, when he left for his home at Pasadena, California.
N. L. Hersey, freshman of the College, fell from one of the swings in the gymnasium Wednesday afternoon and sprained or possibly broke his left wrist. Doctor Naismith, fearing a compound fracture, will take an X-ray picture of his wrist this afternoon or tomorrow.
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Mitchell of Burlington are guests at the home of Prof. U. G. Mitchell, of the department of mathematics Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Mitchell are the parents of Basil Mitchell, sophomore College.
Again it has been proven that looks are sometimes deceiving. Duke Kennedy, with all his weight and without training ran a mile in 6 minutes and 45 seconds. "Red" Craig didn't believe it could be done.
The members of the Kappa Sigma fraternity were entertained with an informal dance at the Kappa house Wednesday night from seven till eight o'clock.
Aspirants for positions on the soccer team are practicing every afternoon on the field back of the Gym. Dr. Lorenz, physical instructor, has not been able to get in touch with many teams and does not teach them. It is doubtful whether i schedule can be arranged for this year.
Mrs. H. G. Green of Topeka was the guest of Helen Patterson Wednesday night. Mrs. Green was on her way to attend a reunion of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority at Baker, where she formerly was a student.
The Epworth League of the First Methodist church, whose membership is largely composed of University students, has organized a number of special departments which will look after the social work in Lawrence, the North Lawrence Methodist church, and the Haskell Institute.
Arrangements have been made by the senior and junior Pharmics to meet in a football game, although nee- ture has yet been set for the contest.
J. Hawk: Watch me put the ake in Drake.
WOMEN, TOO, WILL CHEER Y. M. PREPARES BUDGE
And They Need a Leader—to go to Game in a Crowd Association to Fight for $3,000 on Campaign Day Next Monday
Wanted—A woman cheerleader.
No, Joe Gaitskill isn't dead or anything like that, but he has his hands full in taking care of the Thunderding Thousand. The women will have a special reserved section at the game Saturday and they want some one to lead the yells.
Every woman in the University, from freshman to senior, is asked to meet at the home of Miss Gladys Eliott, 714 West Twelfth street at 2:30 Saturday afternoon. There they will have lunch and be instructed in what to do at the game, Dr. Alice Goetz and Miss Gates will assist in the organization.
"The women, as well as the men, seem to be showing an unusual amount of football spirit this fall," said Dr. Goetz this morning, "and since dates for the games have been discouraged the women are anxious to show that they are willing to do their share. For fear that we will run short in pennants it would be well for everyone to bring either a pennant or banner. Arm bands will also be good."
Dehaters Will Walk
A hike and wine roast for Saturday night was planned by the members of the K. U. Debating Society at its regular meeting in 313 Fraser last night. They will meet at Reynold Brothers, 1031 Massachusetts street at 5:30 o'clock and go to Cameron's Bluff.
The Pi Upsilons entertained the Pi Phi Wednesday night from seven till eight o'clock at their chapter house with an after-dinner dance.

On Campaign day for the University Y, M. C. A., October 18th, the question: "Has the Y, M. C. A., a real place on the Hill?" will be decided. The budget adopted by the Y. M. Board of Directors shows that the support of the students and faculty is needed this year.
"Last year ever two hundred students received permanent employment," said the Board, "and some four hundred received odd work through the help of the Y. M. C. A. From present prospects the number helped will far exceed those figures this year. Does this not show that the Y. M. C. A. deserves the support "every loyal K. U. man?"
"The student body gave $700 and the faculty $500 toward the support of the Association last year. If Y, M. M. C. A. is to keep up its good work, the students must help with $1200 and the faculty with $800."
The aims of the Board are to conserve the results of the Mott-Robins meetings of last year, and to put the V. M. C. A. on a firm financial basis. At present the Association has a large deficit of $1040.84 of which $400 is due to former Secretary Conrad Hoffmann for salary.
The budget first proposed called for an income of $5000, but was modified to $3,033.33, to cover expenses of the Association from October 12, 1915 to August 1, 1916. Of this the students and faculty must give $2,000. The remainder will be given by the University, the alumni, business men, parents and other friends.

Try This - With a Girl and a Canoe
Hava you been canoeing on the river if you haven't your education is only valid for school age.
Some Saturday morning put on old clothes, go down to the little old boat house. If you have a friend with a canoe perhaps he will let you have it. If not, rent one, and go up the river not down; and beware of the falls.
the island, famous—for its picnics, old shacks, fire places—and, last but not least, engagements.
As you paddle up keep close to the right bank and see the fishermen' cabinals surrounded by drying nets. I you are lucky, and early enough, you will find him drawing in his nigh lines. About a mile above the bend i
After leaving the island, paddle on up the river to the bluffs, a good three miles from the boat house. What if you do blister your hand! It's part of the game, and you must have a souvenir of the trip to show your friends. When you have reached the bluffs and taken a rest, you will start home, following the left side of the river; and if you can handle a canoe you will have a fine chance to test your skill by shooting the rapids.'
As you approach you hear the rear of the waves. The current takes a grip on your light craft, and before you can think, the canoe is leaping like a horse under the spur. No matter how blase you are, this will wake you up. Spray in your face, a hollow where your stomach belongs, a thrill of fear, and the pride over your achievement—and its worth it.
Maybe this is the reason why the river is a courage breeder. At any time it is said that more troths are plighted by predators than anywhere else in Lawrence.
Committee, Ward S. Barber, chairman of the Student Committee, and Hugo T. Wedell, general secretary of M. C.A., are lending the campaign.
SEVENTY PIECE BAND TO
HELL DOWN THE DRAMA
A seventy piece band game, the Drake-K. U football game Saturday, J. C. McCanes, the band director, in announcing this large addition to the regular band says, "There will be a much greater volume of music with no depreciation in the."
Twenty-five new uniforms for the second band have just arrived and these men will make their first appearance tomorrow. In uniting the two bands, McCanies is giving all the men a reward for their efforts and at the same time increasing the strength of the band.
KENNEDY WANTS FAIR PLAY
Says Student Council Did not Give Him Chance to Defend Himself
NUMBER 25.
Randolph Kennedy, one of the six students disfranchised by the Student Council, objects to the action of the Council in depriving him of his right to vote without giving him a chance to appear before the investigating committee in his own behalf.
"It's a rather strange proceeding, I think," said Dulse. "It's customary to let a man have his say before sentence is passed upon him.
"Another thing I would like to know, which the investigating committee apparently did not try to find answers to the election lists were inaccurate?"
PHI MU ALPHA PLANS A
MUSICAL FOR UNIVERSITY
Plans were formulated last evening for a musical to be given for the University students and faculty sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas by Phi Mu Alpha, a musical fraternity composed of students, at a meeting at the Phi Psi house.
The program will not be announced for some time yet, but it is assured that some interesting musical numbers will be provided.
New members will be taken in some time towards the end of the first semester, and a formal party will be given for the members shortly after pledging. The convention of the fraternity will be held in Chicago in December, and the chapter will send a delegate at that time.
STUDENTS WILL HEAR
GRAND OPERA TONIGHT
Students and faculty of the University will be interested to know that they have the opportunity to hear some real grand opera tonight. The Fidelio Operatic Company appearing at the F. A. U. Hall tonight gives us some full costume parts from Carmen, the famous Butterfly, as well as some popular situations. All the singing will be done in English.
The acts, of course, are necessarily abbreviated somewhat, but otherwise are the same as given in the original opera. An extra soloist is with the company, making a total of five soloists instead of four as has been advertised. The program begins at 8:15.
A Correction
The Daily Kansan misquoted Manager Hamilton yesterday in regard to the number of schools in the Missouri Valley using a twenty-four hour eligibility requirement. Necklaces Missouri and the Kansas Argies are that school which use this requirement while an article stated that every school in the Valley had a smaller requirement than Kansas.

S. L. Palmer, a former student in the School of Engineering is holding a position in Colorado with a salary of $5,000 per annum. Before completing his work at K. U., he was called to fill an unexpired term as principal of Hutchinson high school, where he spent four successful years before taking the position he now holds.
BULLDOGS ARE COMING
Will Try to Pull a Few Jayhawk Feathers on McCook Tomorrow
The Drake Bulldogs—twenty of them—are coming to McCook tomorrow to attempt to pull some feathers from the Jayhawk. In fact, they are due late this afternoon, but they will not get a chance at the bird until to be staged before either side gives up.
Saved Backfield Men?
The northerners are far from overconfident in regard to this game. They come with a season—that is, two games—of defeats. Their team lacks experience, weight and, as they say, the push. Their defeat at the hands of Nebraska was looked for but the greatest taken from them Saturdays. The Hinges had an entire surprise. With a team that size winning from them they do not figure a great showing against Kansas.
On the other side of the question, it is noted that in the game which they lost to the smaller school three of their best backfield men were on the sidelines. No report of injuries accompanied the story of the game and the general belief is that the
COACH HERMAN OLCOTT
Drake coach had a future game in view and could not afford to run the risk of injuring his good men in the smaller games.
Bunz at left half is one of the most consistent ground gainers for the blue and white squad. Captain Blackburn at backfull and Thomas at quarter are the other star performers. Both are at right half is a new man in the line up but he has been showing up well in scrimmage.
In the line, Sprong has been tearing up things at center and many gains have been made through the openings made by this 100-pound linesman. The rest of the line is much lighter but speed is the quality showing up in Welsh and Kean, ends. This is Kean's first year of college football but he is showing up fine on the left end of the line.
Team Averages 162 Pounds
**Team Averages 162 Pounds**
The Drake line will average 166 pounds. The Raven line will average 156. This makes a team average of 162 pounds per man.
A mixture of regular and open football will characterize the Bulldogs play with only a few forward passes mixed in.
The following is the lineup with will start the game for Drake together with the numbers of the players:
No. Player Position
15—Kean left end
23—Warrock left tackle
16—Berrenger left guard
22—Strong center
7—Ellis right guard
11—Bresbears right tackle
2—Welsh right end
4—Thomas quarter
9—Bunz left half
24—Smith right half
1—Blackburn (capt.) fullback
Substitutes: Vanderwood, 10; Gier,
13; Brunk, 17; Hatt, 19; Allbough,
12; Dell Blackburn, 6; Brown, 3;
Jernegan, 5; Glgdett, 20.
Lorenz is getting quite a bit of publicity from the Washburn sport writers. This distinguished gentleman refereed a game in Topeka Saturday between Washburn and Baker. He is referred to in the articles as a touchdown and robbing Washburn, people always have an excuse for losing a game. Anyway Lorenz is surprised at the accustation.
