University Hospital Handles Cases Ranging from Nostalgia to Appendicitis
At the close of the first four weeks of University work, 500 students had applied at the University hospital for examination, advice and treatment. In other words 25 students have been taken care of daily.
The cases have ranged all the way from sore throat to appendicitis. The appendicitis case was taken to the hospital at Rosedale for operation.
The University hospital was established this fall for the purpose of "conserving the health of the students of the University of Kansas." The plan has abundant precedent; twenty-three leading universities of the United States, the fees ranging from $2 a year to $12.
The hospital staff has been called upon to relieve not only physical but mental ailments. Several cases have diagnosed as "acute homesickness."
The hospital at K. U, is open to all students. Nominal fees are charr for more serious cases, where operations or extended treatment are necessary. The hospital is located on Louisiana and 13th street.
TEACHERS TO MEET HERE
American Association of Journalist Will Hold Annual Meeting at University of Kansas
The fifth annual convention of the American Association of Teachers of Journalism will be held this year at the University of Kansas. The date of the meeting has not yet been definitely decided but will be either during the Thanksgiving or Christmas recess. There are one hundred and twenty students in the Association, and they represent forty-one colleges and universities.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 12, 1915.
The session will last three days and there will be discussions on the subjects of "Methods of Teaching Journalism."
Last year the Association met in New York City and the preceding year in Chicago. The University of Kansas has more than a passing interest in the Association because of the fact that Prof. Merle Thorpe is its president. The other officers are Frank Matthews of the Putzter School, David Fletcher of the College, vice-president; and H. M. Louisiana, university secretary.

Clear Case of Original Sin
"Phew my but it's beautiful up here," panted an appreciative visitor of the Christian delegation as he reached the summit of Mt. Oread.
"But that Hill—!"
Followed, on the part of the whole Christian delegation, a silence unanimous.
Plans are already being made by a number of students for getting to Manhattan for the Kansas-Agri game next week. About 800 are expected to go to see Bender's men humbled.
The University of Missouri never misses an opportunity to make some remark about the weight of the Kan- basketball squad. A recent issue says:
"The seismograph at K. U, recorded an earthquake the other day. Probably one of those 200-pound linemen falling on the ball."
We concede that Oklahoma has a fast bunch with lots of wind. In fact, anyone looking at their 102 to 0 score against the Northwestern State North Carolina would admit that they must be hard winded to run up such a escore as that.
Now comes a gentle rain to help football practice and to make things soft for the cross country runners. The rain may be needed but from our point of view practice is more necessary.
The editor of the Penitentiary Bulletin issued by the prisoners at Lansing, has the saving grace of humor. He read the Daily Kansas editorial on hikes, and wrote this:
We Do!
"Do you get that invitation from Nature, these incomparable days—when it isn't raining—and do you respond?"
But
"Take a pal; take a lunch basket; get out into the country. You'll feel better for the week."
We Would
The Editor of the University Daily Kansan caused us to sit up and take notice when we read his effusion. We would follow his advice gladly—3U! ! ! !

The W. S. G. A. needs money, and needs it bad, for which reason, the council has lifted the ban on dates for Wednesday night, and urgles all students to attend "The Fixers." All the money will go toward the W. S. G. A. scholarship.
"We want every body out, to help us," states Blanche Mullen, "for we need the money and the students need the fun. While you are having an extra date and a good time, you will be helping a girl through school. It is an opportunity for philanthropy not to be missed by any serious student, or any student that isn't serious, for that matter. We need the money, and we certainly want the students to back us.

Chancellor Strong to Speak
U. U. Football Stars Are Winning Out in Their Life's
GRIDIRON AND SUCCESS
What has become of the old K. U. football stars? Have they made as great a success in life as they did on the gridiron? These are questions
A glance at the football records in the office of Dr. James Naismith, of the department of physical education, calls to mind the present records of some of the old stars. First there are Bruner, Pooler, and Ackerman of '02 and '03 of the old days when weight was more of a necessity than it is today. Bruner is now county attorney in Wamego, Pooler is practicing law in Beloit, and Ackerman is a lawyer in Sedan.
Michelson, one of the best centers that the University has ever had, is in a law firm in Bartlesville, Oka. Al Hickens and Carl Rouse, two mighty good ends are farming and practicing law respectively. Angney and "Tommy" Johnson, as heady quarters as K. U. probably has ever seen, are both dead. Horace (only one knew that was his name) "Tub" Reed, is a broker in the Kansas City stock yards. Carl Pleasant, former football captain, who was an unusually good student as well as a hard, heady player is manager of the municipal asphalt plant in the same city, while John Carlson is claim agent for the terminal company there.
Work
George Crowell is a grain merchant in Attica, Kansas. "Bill" Caldwell is secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio. Sam Forter, one of the best kickers in the history of the school is in American Falls, Idaho. "Rock Crusher" Ammons is coaching Pittsburg University, Pittsburg, Penn. "Pete Heil," star quarterback, is playing his old heady game on the team. Davidson has been appointed Washington reporter of the Springfield Republican. He has one of the best newspaper jobs in the country. Harold Brownlee, captain and end of 11-12, is instructor in the University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada. That these men have made good is self-evident.
DR. STRONG TO BE TOAST.
MASTER AT K. U. REUNION
The annual K. U. reunion and dinner which occurs during the State Teachers' Association at Topeka, will be held on January 6, o'clock in the First Baptist Church.
Chancellor Strong will preside as tomtmaster and a short togt program.
A new feature of last year which will be repeated is the old fashioned chapel, given in the church audience room before the dinner.
Members of the University faculty alumni members who are teaching and alumni living in Topeka will attend. About 300 were present last year.
The following form the committee on arrangements: Prof. L, N. Flint, chairman; Prof. E. F. Engel and Prof. M. E. Rice.
There has been some doubt in the minds of the first year man with advanced standing as to whether they are required to wear the freshman cap. The generally accepted rule is as follows: Any first year man coming from a college where some freshman costume is in vogue, will not be allowed. Any other students or others are expected to comply with the cap rule; no exception is made to students who have attended the University only one semester.
Westminster 'Guild' Entertains
More than a hundred students were pleased to attend the event as Westminster Hall. One of the most enjoyable features of the evening was the presentation of a farce called "The Last Day of School."

CHORAL UNION WILL TRY
THE STOPS TONIGHT
The prospects for a large attendance at the opening meeting of the Lawrence Choral Union are excellent. This organization which is directed by Prof. Arthur Nevin will meet at half past seven this evening in the Fraternal Aid Hall on Eighth street. The Union is composed of students and townpeople alike. There are no fees in connection with membership, not is a tryout necessary in order to play the professionally trained. Professor Van der Vries has received numerous inquiries concerning the Choral Union and believes that the interest this year will exceed by far that of other years.
There are many persons who secretly believe that they possess musical ability, and whose efforts to add to the harmony of life are frowned upon by their unappreciative but exasperated friends. If there be any among the friends who have had to "waste their sweetness on the desert air" here is their chance.
MAY HAVE ANOTHER ELECTION
Student Council will Dicide Tonight what Action to take on Vote Fraud
Vote True
Whether or not the recent election of sophomore class officers will be declared void will be decided by the Student Council at its meeting tonight. The investigating committee, which hea a hearing Saturday and another this afternoon, will present its material for the Council's consideration.
The opinion of several Councilmen favors another election, the Kanan ascertained today. It has been proved that at least eight votes were cast illegally, and this is sufficient to swing the election.
MANY FRESHMAN WOMEN
ASK FOR SCHOLARSHIP
The faculty committee which will award the scholarship offered by Mrs. J. B. Watkins, for some self-supporting freshman woman, has already been besieged with applications. The exact number of these will not be given out however, until there is a meeting of the committee.
Prof. Eugenie Galloo said this morning, "Mrs. Watkins has been very kind in offering scholarships, and this one, which is for the amount of fifty dollars, is not the first that she has given to the University.
"All of the applications have been very urgent, but as we have no way of knowing about a freshman's work we are going to wait until the first month's grades are turned in, before we come to a decision."
PREJUDICE OFTEN HINDERS
A MAN SAYS THOMPSON
Rev. Gordon Bennett Thompson, student pastor of the First Methodist Church and speaker in chapel this week, gave the second of a series of lectures on "The Seven Blunders of the World," this morning. His text for this morning's talk was "The Blunder of Prejudice."
"Prejudice," he says, "which means a pre-judgment of things before the facts are in, has tainted the lives of many people. They rush to conclusions, and wrong conclusions too, before duly considering the facts. There is such a thing, too, as college prejudice which college men make regarding religion and things on the outside."
As an illustration of this point, Mr. Thompson cited the life of Voltaire, a brilliant man who, if he had duly considered Christianity, would have been one of its reatest leaders instead of its greatest mocker.
Wednesday morning Mr. Thompson will lecture on "The Blunders of Good and Evil."
OREAD HIGH DEBATERS
WILL HAVE OWN CLUB
Plans are being made by Miss Lita Battye to form a debating society in Oread. The purpose of the society will be the practice of writing the thesis and delivering it. Sixteen have applied for membership. The topics for debate will be popular subjects of the day and the material will be furnished by the extension department. The meetings will be conducted in accordance with parliamentary practice.
The first meeting will be held Wed-
nesday evening from 7 till 8 o'clock.
Plans for the Halloween Party to be given by the Y. W. October 23 are being made. The party is to be a big affair.
MEDICS TO GET $30,000
Dr. J. L. Porter Bequeaths large sum to School of Medicine
ENDOWMENT NOW $130,000
University
Greatest Total of Private Gifts to any Branch of the University
Announcing the receipt of another large gift to the School of Medicine, Chancellor Strong this afternoon issued the following statement:
"The School of Medicine of the University of Kansas has received another considerable gift through the will of the late Dr. J. L. Porter of Paola. The amount of Dr. Porter's bequest is likely to be about $30,000, the income of which is to be for the use and benefit of the School of Medicine. Of this income $300 is to be appropriated annually for a scholarship after Dr. J. L. Porter and to be used in the body of the medical department. The rest of the income may be used for the best interests of the School of Meinec as the governing body of the school may determine.
"This makes the second large gift to the School of Medicine, that of Dr. Simeon D. Bell, made some years ago aggregating about $50,000. Additional lifts by the heirs of Dr. Simeon D. Bell, by Prof. Marshall A. Barber, former professor of pathology at Kaiser-Premier Medical Center staff, for the purchase of ground, bring the total gifts prior to that of Dr. Porter up to about $100,000
"The grand total, including Dr. Porter's gift is about $130,000, being the largest total in private gifts to any o fthe schools of the University.
"The School of Medicine is becoming recognized in the State of Kansas as a University department of such great importance to the welfare of the state that it is likely to receive many additional bequests besides the state's foundation. The state, thus probably insuring its students, thus probably insuring the best supported and most powerful of the schools of the University."
Dr. Porter was a physician in Paola. His gift came as a complete surprise to thea thorities at K. U., the first intimation they had of the matter being the announcement of the provision of the will.
KANSAS CITIES TO MEET K. U. Professors to tell how to Better Municipalities of State
Prof. C, H. Talbot, Prof. Wm. A. McKeever of the extension department, and Prof. C, A. Haskins, sanitary engineer on the State Board of Health, will attend the Seventh Annual Convention of the League of Kansas Municipalities to be held in Hutchinson beginning tomorrow and lasting three days. Professor Talbot, secretary of the league, left this morning to make preliminary arrangements for the meetings, and to register the delegates from the various cities.
The league has grown in function and importance in the last few years. It is now authorized by state law, and each city is supposed to appropriate funds each year to send at least two delegates to its convention.
Professor McKeever, head of the State Bureau of Child Welfare will make the principal address on Friday afternoon. His subject, "Child Welfare and the Municipality," will explain in detail the relation of the proper environment and training for children to the present as well as the future city, and will offer how cities from over the state participate in the new child welfare movement being promoted by the University.
Professor Haskins will lead in the discussions concerning improved sewerage and sanitation conditions in cities of the second and third class.
Asters to be planted on Campus New England Aster, secured by the class in systematic botany Saturday, will be used to decorate the plant as it is common, much larger and darker than the aster and, although common in the New England states, is very rare here.
