STUDENTS GO TO CHURCH
Sixty per cent all Members and Eighty-five per cent Attend
Sixty per cent of the fifteen thousand and students in institutions of higher education under the control of the state are church members, while eighty-five per cent regularly attend church services. This fact is remarkable in view of the fact that only thirty-three per cent of the citizens of Kansas either belong to or attend religious services.
Practically every student feels the touch of the church in his daily life through socials, student pastor's work, special religious meetings of the University, a College and Normal's Young Men's Christian Associations. Each denomination is making every effort to finance, Manhattan, Hays, Emporia and Pittsburgh and Bible houses are being built as special dormitories.
During the Mott meetings last March, five hundred students of the University signified their intention to lead a Christian life.
COLLEGIATE ALUMNAE TO
CONTINUE VOCATION WORK
The Collegiate Alumnae Association met Saturday evening to make plans for the year. The plans are not fully finished. If you wish to be contacted the freshman woman, will be continued.
"We shall make a canvass of the freshman women to find out how many have not made a choice of vocation, with a hope of adding them in making the choice," said Alice Winston, president of NYU. "We will soon to have a speaker from New York to address the girls on this subject."

This is where your Glasses usually break
—and it is quite natural to expect that when you tighten a fragile glass lens with a metal screw between unyielding metal straps you invite danger—and are apt to reap disaster.
We have a new system of mounting lens without the use of screws. There is no pressure on the lens at all. The KeeLock saves expense and annoyance besides being better looking. Come in and examine a sample pair.

WHY THEY CRITICIZE
Women Discuss Reasons for Unfavorable Opinions of the University
Why sections of the state regard the University unfavorably and what the women can do to clear up these distorted ideas of college life, were discussed at the regular open meeting of the Y. W. C. A. yesterday afternoon. Josephine Jaqua, the leader, opened the question by stating the critical or even the unpleasant side of the state against the university nda asked "What can we, the women of the University, do to remedy these conditions?"
Women from all parts of the state, and neighboring states spoke. The consensus of opinion was that the women themselves are largely responsible for the ill feeling. Not that conditions at the University are as they are pictured, for they are not, but women in this profession their college life over-emphasize the social activities, and neglect to give the serious side equal publicity.
Another reason stated for this ill-feeling was the fact that many people are misinformed as to the religious influences upon the campus. "Knowing that the University has no specific basis mindy which it strange that the church and social welfare work of the small town community should be continued here," one speaker said.
"This also is the fault of the women," said a senior woman. "How many of us girls when writing to friends really tell them of our church studies, or Y. W. C. A. work? Do not most of us feature the dances, the dinner parties, and the good times exclusively in those letters? If we would only be as fair in one proportion of values in our talk as we are in our real life on the campus, there would be little chance for criticism."
Newspaper influence was discussed. "If the newspaper would give the worth while happenings as much space as the scandal, or nearly scandal it would largely remedy condemnation," a point of the University receives a thorough airing while the one hundred good points are ignored."
All girls were urged to send the comin religious issue of the Kansan home, and to those who unfairly condemned the University without knowing conditions as they really are on the campus.
PHYSIOLOGY DEPT. WILL
HAVE NEW GALVANOMETER
A new Einthoven galvanometer, to be used in the department of physiology, arrived here from England last Saturday. The apparatus will be used for the purpose of studying nerve reactions and was purchased upon request of Dr. Ida Hyde, professor of physiology.
William Scalipain, a senior in Miss Hyde's class, will begin putting the research he will carry out in some research work in the physiology department.
The galvanometer will be set up in the basement of the Physics Building and placed upon the rock bottom, so that it will be solid.

In a week or two many new experi- ments will be well under way.

There has been a marked increase of university registration over the United States, notwithstanding the alleged hard times. The undergraduate class entering Columbia is 1059. The total registration is 14,573 as compared with 14,324 last year. The resident students number 6418, an increase of 600.
REGISTRATION INCREASE
AT MANY UNIVERSITIES
The University of Illinois now has an enrollment of 4652. Of these 3636 are men and 1016 women. This is 5.15 per cent rain over last year.
Brown University has a total re-
gistration of 1082, a gain of 72 over the
previous year.
At Oberlin the registration in the college of Arts and Sciences is limited to 1000 students. There are, this year, 413 men and 584 women, making a total of 997 enrolled in that department.
MANY EARN THEIR OWN WAY
567 Studnts Earn All or Part of Their Expenses, Reports
Show
Five hundred and sixty-seven students either wholly or partially supported themselves while attending the University last year, according to the institutes issued by the University employe Bureau at the close of 1914-15.
One hundred and three of these ambitious students found employment with the University in its various departments. Of this number, twenty-four found janitor work a profitable diversion; eighteen posed as laboratory instructor's assistants; four were used in the libraries; and four of them assisted as Goetz and Mr. Lorenz with their vvm, classes.
Many found work in boarding clubs, and the tables of the employment bureau's pamphlet indicates that fifty-six industrial men waited tables at the different clubs and restaurants; twenty-one more washed dishes, while several were fortunate enough to land stewarding positions.
The list shows that the students performed in many interesting capacities, all the way from that of preachers to lawyers, from weather observer to plumber, from druggist to undertakers, from barbers to nurserymen, from station agent to carpenters. Book agents, reporters, stenographers, furnace men, and printers, all made the same classes and ate at the same tables with jewelers, hotel clerks, paper boys, and mechanics. In fact, it appears from the report that there is very little to be done that some ambitions overrun the curriculum. It is insatiable or necessary ambition, as the case may be, entirely confined to the men; for during the year, sixty-one girls showed a disposition to help themselves and drew their cheeks from various sources, making the grand total of those who worked during the year five hundred and six-y-seven.
