NUMBER 23
Student Council Meets Tonight to Decide on Election Frauds
Frauds
A special meeting of the Student Council will be held tonight in 110 Fraser to decide what will be done about the irregularities in the recent class elections. The meeting was first scheduled for last night, but the committee was not ready to report, so action was deferred.
The committee will make no recommendation—when it presents its evidence, leaving the course of action wholly to the decision of the Council. Several Councilmen have expressed themselves as favoring a new election in the sophomore class, in which most of the irregularities were discovered.
The investigating committee has substantiated the evidence offered in the Daily Kansan, and has obtained enough additional information to justify the vote. The committee at the sophomore polls were more than sufficient to swing the election.
The junior election rolls were subjected to an examination, and but little evidence of fraud appeared, so it was decided the action will be taken in the third class.
Whether or not the members of the "Thundering Thousand" will be sent according to their respective schools at the future football games will depend wholly upon the students. The Laws made arrangements for their section last Saturday and will probably continue to do so. Cheerheader John Wick, a former member such an arrangement, but wishes each school to take the initiative.
SEATING BY SCHOOLS IS
TO THUNDERING THOUSAND
"There will be no hats for the Drake game," said Gaiksillk Tuesday, "but I expect them in time for the Aggie game at Manhattan." The Student Council will probably retail the hats to students at cost. A large K will be painted on the bleachers and freshmen will occupy the painted portions, the remainder of the space will be occupied by upperclassman. This will present a K of freshman lids in a red and blue field.
Gaitskill and his two assistants, Kenneth Gedney and Eugene Gempel will appear at the Drake game in their uniforms of crimson sweaters and white trousers. The plan of having the band give the pitch for the "Rock Chalks" proved very successful Sat. night and will be used regularly in the future.
The committees which are to assist in preparations for the Law Scrium were named today by Willis N. Calk. for the Serim of the Serim. They are as follows:
CALKINS ANNOUNCES LAW

The Law Scrim is the annual tribute of the School of Law to the football team, and all members of the squad are guests of honor at the party.

DOCTORS APPROVE FEE
Medical Association Passes
Resolution After Friendly Conference With Sundwall
The Douglas County Medical Association last night passed a resolution expressing its approval of the University's two-dollar hospital fee, and of the general purpose of the University health service. The association advised to the resolution, however, a statement to the effect that it does not approve of the University going into the practice of clinical medicine.
The resolution was passed by a margin of one vote after a long and reasonably satisfactory conference between the association and Dr. J. Sundwall, professor of anatomy in the School of Medicine. The meeting did not end in complete agreement on all the points raised, but rank and friendly discussion which went far toward producing a better understanding.
The general feeling on the part of the association, according to statements obtained after the meeting, was that there is no objection on the part of town doctors to the University handling light cases, provided the serious cases are passed on to regular practitioners.
It appears now to be tactily understood on both sides, that students needing prolonged medical attention will be advised by the University medical staff to seek the services of their own physicians.

Johnman Phans Individual Pictures of Juniors and Sophs for
Annual
Individual pictures of the juniors and sophomores, as well as the freshmen arranged in groups will be one feature that will distinguish this class from others. For longer times, according to a statement of E. M. Johnson, editor-in-chief.
"All classes will be represented"
said Mr. Johnson today. "We are planning to print individual pictures of the juniors and sophomores, and the freshmen will be put in smaller groups than was the case before, in order to obtain better results. Last year was the first time that an attempt was made to use the pictures of all classes in the Jayhawker, among other schools, at the annuals of other schools in the Missouri Valley. notably Manhattan This plan will, of course, make the book somewhat larger than has heretofore been the case, but we feel that the increased bulk will be justified.
“Arrangements with the photographers are being made,” he continued, “whereby it will be possible to reduce the cost of the picture in t annual, together with one copy of the book, to the juniors, while the rate to the other classes will be made very reasonable.
"The idea seems to be 'taking' with those with whom I have been taking and we look for a large number of tasks to take advantage of the plan."
College students will be able to obtain their grades for the first five weeks of school at the office of Dean Templin October 24 and 25, according to an announcement from the Dean's office this noon.

ALUMNI WILL COME BACK
Old Grads to See Jayhawk and Cornhusker in Battle

The board of directors of the alumni association will hold its semi-annual business meeting in the morning before the game and immediately after luncheon join in the big palace to the field, where the Nebraska and Kansas bands will march before the teams appear for signal practice.
McCook field has been sodded lately and is in as good condition as any in this part of the country. With an ideal day, two big bands, special sections for the rooters of both schools, a women's march, two well-coached teams and a new pigskin, the Nebraska-Kansas game promises to be an event to be chronicled in sport histories of years to come.
DEBATING COUNcil WILL
HAVE A BUSY MEETIN
The Debating Council will decide this afternoon whether or not to join the state oratorial association.
"The proposition has been put before the Council at a former time and turned down," said Professor Hill. "I don't believe it be a good thing for the University."
"The advantage of belonging to the association is that it tends to create an interest in public speaking among the undergraduates," continued Professor Hill. "And another thing is that the high school students will look at them as partners of their education with anticipation if it is given more publicity."
Professor Hill predicted that the proposition which was received from Creichron and Drake for a triangular debate would not be accepted, on account of the state of the debating finances.
Other things that will come before the meeting this afternoon will be the decision on whether to accept the question submitted by Colorado for an official visit to Kansas State, the election of officers and other plans for the year.

When Ida M. Tarbell will be here cannot be announced at present. It is thought, however, that she will come about the middle of February.

She leaped into fame several years ago as a result of a series of articles on the Standard Oil company. Since then, she has been prominent as a writer on economic and social issues. She has also been connected with the movement for women suffrage.
