INVESTIGATE HOSPITAL
NUMBER 14
Accounts of Bell Memorial, a Rosedale, are Being Checked up at Topeka
Irregularities in the accounts of the Belli Memorial hospital at Rosedale are being investigated in the office of the state accountant, J. E. Caton, at Topeka. Mr. Caton expects to make a report before the latter part of October.
The hospital is a branch of the University School of Medicine. The accounts were in the hands of a student, Claude Doty, until last June, when he was to have graduated. About that time the state auditor, W. E. Davis, found charges against the state which he considered responsible with the attorney general, the investigation was begun. That was two months ago, and it is still in progress. Doty's degree was withheld.
The $20,000 appropriated by the legislature seems to have been handled in a proper manner, but the fee account, on which the hospital is permitted to draw, is puzzling the state's bookkeepers. Whether or not there has been any dishonesty has not been shown.
Members of the Board of Administration were in Rosedale yesterday. E. T. Hackey, the president, declined to discuss the matter when he was in Lawrence yesterday on his way to Hays.
Since the advent of the Board of Administration, the Rosedale branch of the University has been directly under their control, and the superintendency of the accounts has been under their management. Under the old regime, E. E. Brown, the purchasing agent of the University, visited Rosedale each week, and reported from his subordinates there. When the office of purchasing agent was abolished in conformance with the Board's centralization policies, control ceased to remain in Lawrence.
TWO PETITIONS REJECTED
Eligibility Committee Finds Dyche and_Fletcher Minus in Credits
Lucien Dyche, candidate for the editorship of the Jayhawker, was likewise found deficient in credits. He missed being a junior by an hour.
Two candidates' petitions were rejected by the committee on eligibility this morning on grounds on insufficient hours. Examination of the registrar's books revealed that Claudie C. Fletcher, candidate for vice-presidency of the senior class, lacked three hours of having the require number of units to be a senior. His petition, consequently, was thrown out.
Although vigorous protests were made by friends of the disappointed candidates, the eligibility committee stood firm. "We looked into the matter thoroughly before taking action," he said. "I think the committee this noon, 'and we could not see anything else to do but reject the petitions.'"
DIRECTORIES TO BE OUT BY MIDDLE OF OCTOBER
"The first draft of names for the student directory will be sent to the state printing office in a few days," said Miss Emily Swick, assistant registrar, this morning. "It will then be but a short time until the proof can be corrected and the books out. We expect to have them ready for distribution by the middle of October."
The force in the office is having some difficulty in finding the addresses and officers of the various organizations and other data absolutely necessary to make the book up-to-date and would consider it a help if all fraternities, clubs, and societies would see to it that the information desired is turned into the office of the registrar at once.
"Queer, isn't it," remarked a student today, "that the greatest flood of campaign literature appeared on the Hill just after the Kansan's article on beautifying the campus was published?"
Hazel Clark, who took her master's degree in the department of education in 1914, left the first of the week to teach in the high school at Lawton, Oklahoma.
LIBRARIAN EXPLAINS
LIBRARIAN EXPLAINS
PURPOSE OF STACK ROOM
In answer to inquiries about the stack room in Spooner Library, Miss Watson announces that it is used primarily for the purpose of storing books. There are five stories, which are exceptionally well lighted. The capacity of the stack room is one hundred thousand volumes. More books are stored in the stacks in the same amount of space, than in any other part of the library.
The stack room is not open to the public, but is open to juniors, seniors, and graduate students, who can not find what they want from the catalog or from the librarians. Under such conditions these students are permitted to use the stacks.
Students desiring to use the stacks must first sign their names to a list of rules, agreeing not to carry away books without permission, and also not to mutilate them.
THEY WON'T CONSIDER IT
Women Say Dateless Plan for Freshmen is up to the Men
The proposed rule against freshman dates at the football games met with its first objection at the meeting of the Women's Student Government Association last night. Not only did the women fail to put their stamp of approval upon the idea, but they refused even to consider the subject.
"It is not within our jurisdiction to dictate when and how the men shall ask for dates, as long as they are not violating the regular date rule," said Blanche Mullen, the president. "We have enough to do to regulate the dates the women have with an affair to the date rule." We do not propose to interdict or allow that affair to the men alone. If the men want dates to the ball games, or if they don't, is entirely their own affair.
"The Men's Council may legislate as it sees fit. The affair is their own. We are representing the women of the University and they feel that it is not a question to be settled by the W. S. G. A."
FRESHMAN TEA HELD
FRIDAY IN FRASER HALI
Mrs. Eustace Brown's first tea for freshman women will take place Friday afternoon in the women's corner of Fraser Hall from 3:30 to 5 p.m. No special invitations have been issued, other than announcements of the event in the Kansan.

A Correction
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTE MBER 30, 1915
The Daily Kansan wishes to correct its recent statement that Orden Jones is president of the College. The story should have used the name of Homer Herriott.
Women of the University want to get in on the Rally to tomorrow night. They want to come out and join the rest of us when we yell. Of course they won't answer if someone asks whether we expect to win, but they'll be there on the "Rock Chalk" all right.
WOMEN ARE INVITED, TOO
Dates for this rally are perfectly proper. It will start the evening off right and will be over just in time to go to the College Dance.
Seats will be reserved for women rooters and dates. Common folks will be there to fill up the others.
Manager W. O Hamilton An nounces Route for Grand Football Opening
PARADE PLANS COMPLETE THE STAGE IS ALL SET
"Plans for the big parade have been completed," said Manager W. O. Hamilton, this morning. "The parade will start from South Park and proceed in this order; the K. U. band marching; the William Jewell team, the K. U. team in cars furnished by the Lawrence automobile dealers, the Board of Administration, Chancellor Strong, and Governor Capper with parties, the deams of the schools, the newspaper correspondents, the city officials, the athletic board and the merchants' board, all in cars. Then last, but not least, will come the "Thundering Thousand."
In this order the parade will go up Massachusetts street to Seventh, where the band will step aside and allow the cars to go ahead. From Massachusetts the parade will go up Seventh to Mississippi, thence down this street to McCook Field.
Automobiles will be admitted after having been tagged by a large ten inch poster, providing the occupant's name, the admittance fee of fifty cents each.
Other automobiles, not in the parade, will be admitted upon payment of seventy-five cents by each occupant; providing there is room after the seventy-five or eighty cars which are in the parade have been admitted.
CO-OP BOOK STORE BOBS UP
Student Council to Consider Plans for Text Book Supply at Next Meeting
Meeting
After years of desires, resolutions, and more desires, on the part of the students and faculty, Ieland Thompson, president of the Men's Student Council, has decided to push the idea of a co-operative book store.
After an exciting contest in the School of Law this morning, the following officers were elected to represent the Middle Law class: Tom Mailoy, president; Harry Harlan, vice-president; Kenneth Dodderidge, secretary; and Charles Griesa, treasurer.
"I intended to bring this matter up for discussion last night," said Thompson to a Kansan reporter this morning, "but there was so much other work to be done that I had to let the matter drop. However, I next expected it come up in our next meeting, which will be held Tuesday night.
Middle Laws Elect
Last Friday two freshmen were seen coming out of the library. They stopped suddenly and then made a hasty retreat toward town. There was an unusually large number of laws with canes in front of the Law Building and the freshies thought the paddling season had arrived.
"Personally," continued President Thompson, "I am heartily in favor of the co-operative plan of buying books, and I hope that the matter will be given thorough consideration by faculty and student body alike. If conducted in an efficient manner, such a store would mean a great saving to students, and this factor would undoubtedly prove instrumental in increasing the enrollment of the University in years to come. I have investigated the plan, as it exists elsewhere, and have obtained considerable valuable data. However, I would like to suggest that anyone who has ideas in regard to such a store, will confer a favor on the Council if they will write out their suggestions and present them at the next meeting. We have some material to work with but we need more, and surely some member of the student body or faculty, can supply us with a number of ideals, which will prove benefica'to us in working up the scheme."

Y. M. C. A. REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES OF LAST YEAR
With the coming of the Y. M. C. A.
Campaign for funds for the ensuing year,
the question of what place the Y. M. is taking in the life of the University naturally arises. In places of the popularly supposed organization for religious inspiration, the association is digging down into the real problems of the University undergraduate life.
The freshmen are always given a royal welcome by members of the Y. M. The Freshman Blowout is one of the social events for freshmen men. The boys often take part in the freshman fall and fall are always well received by the first-year men to be.
The Y. M.'s most important and far reaching function in the University is to handle the applications for work. The employment bureau has received over three hundred applications for college places for one hundred and fifty-four students. Odd jobs aggregating three hundred and thirty were secured.
Last year plans were perfaced for Bible study classes, for religious meetings, vesper services, socials, and a close committee organization. The Mott campaign was a decided success, every student on the Hill being reached in one way or another during the Mott-Robins meetings.
Theta Tau today announces the pledging for honorary membership the name of Prof. Geo. C. Shaad.
LAWRENCE PREPS TO MIX
WITH HASKELL INDIANS
Coach "Dick" Burton of the Lawrence high school football team is planning to hold a scrimmage next week with the Haskell third team. Burton has been putting his men through hard practices for the past week and now has a squad of forty men at each practice. He says that no man is yet sure of his position and that he will not pick his men until a few days before the game with Eskridge on Oct. 2.
The team is considerably weakened this year by the loss of several players who have been graduated and entered the University. Among these men are George Woodward, C. B. Randall, Howard Laslett and Dave Lupher. Two other members have either dropped out of school or have become ineligible.

INDIANS' PROBLEMS ARE
SAME AS CAUCAIANS
That the American Indian must solve the same problems that confront the Caucasian race, and that the mediums through which these difficulties are to be overcome, are religion and education, was the sentiment expressed by the speakers this morning at the second day's meeting of the Fifth Annual Conference of the Society of American Indians.
Ru Dry Rauy, pre-medic, has pledged Phi Chi, honorary medic fraternity.

IOWA THESPIANS COMING?
K. U. Dramatfc Club to Iowa and Iowans to Come Here, the Plan
An exchange of Dramatic Club plays with the University of Iowa, by which the local club will go to Iowa City and present "The Witching Hour" and the Iowa Club will come here with their play, is a possibility this winter. "It looks as though the thing might be brought about," said Prof. Arthur MacMurray, coach of Dramatic Club plays at Clio College by listening on the matter, yet, but sentiment seems to favor such an exchange. Could certain obstacles be overcome, I think we will be able to carry out the plan."
The Dramatic Club will hold its first meeting in the near future, when officers for the coming year will be elected and plans for the season considered. The rules for the prize drama contest, to be conducted by the Club, will be announced next week, according to Professor MacMurray, competing for the fifty dollar purse are requested to confer with Mr. MacMurray at his office in the basement of Green Hall.
PROF. NEVIN COMPLIMENTED
IN EASTERN MUSICAL PAPER
A statement which warmly recognizes the musical ability of Professor Nevin of the University of Kanaa appeared in a recent issue of "Musical America." The reference is to a musical festival given in the latter part of the year. In 1962, Mr. Woodstock, N. Y. "The best orchestral number of the afternoon concert was Mr. Nevin's 'At the Spring.' In this composition Professor Nevin showed that he possessed both imagination and a perfect technique."
