Seven of the Faculty Members Own Cars—Some of Them Brand New
K. U. is prospering. This year, seven new cars appear among the faculty—and not one of them is a Ford.
The Chancellor heads the list with a Chalmers, which he has had barely a week. Dean Butler of the School of Fine Arts has a new Buick.
Professor Hodder, not wishing to appear on the Hill until he had gained some experience in driving, purchased his Buick at the first of the summer. And he has already shown himself to be an unusually skillful and daring driver; for besides driving his family to Estes Park, Colorado, this summer, he succeeded last week in driving them safely, over the Eleventh street enphancement, with nothing greater than an exhilating shake as a result. Professor Hunson's Chalmers and Professor Johnson's Buick were also purchased at the first of the summer—possibly for the same reason.
Professor Billings, proving the exception to the rule that only Bucks and Chalmers are favored by professors, has a handsome Winton Six, which he says will outdo the others ten to one. Finally, W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics, is running around in a new Baby Grand Chevolet.
Bessie Wood, A. B., 04, of Strong City, is again on the Hill taking work. Miss Woo is the granddaughter of Col. S. N. Wood, whose name figures prominently in early Kansas history.
Miss Erma Smith, a sophomore in the College last year, is teaching school in western Kansas. Miss Smith expects to return to K. U. next fall.
Mrs. Jerome Beatty, formerly Miss Dorothea McKnight, is here for a visit with her mother, Nellie Beatty. Older students will remember Mrs. Beatty in connection with her activities in dramatics.
Miss Martha Rayhill, who received her A. B. from the University last spring, has been elected teacher of mathematics in the Montgomery County high school at Independence.
Ruth foster, a freshman in the College, spent the week-end at her home in Topeka.
Tom Ashby, sophomore College last year, arrived in Lawrence Sunday night for a short visit.
MICHIGAN TO BUILD
A NEW STUDENT UNION
The alumni of Michigan are being asked to contribute one million dollars toward a new student union building.
toward a new student university. The present Union at the University of Michigan has outgrown it's present quarters. The new building will cost three quarters of a million dollars to build and equip. The remainder of the million will be used as an endowment. Besides the usual rooms found in such buildings, it will contain 150 bed rooms for the use of the alumni when visiting the University.
The campaign for contributions will not begin until October 2, but up to September 22 there had been over $160,000 received. All of the 35,000 alumni will be canvassed.
The Union is promoting a democratic spirit among the students. In 1914-15 sixty-eight per cent of the male students were members; thirty per cent of these being fraternity men.
Paul H. Suberkrup, will not be able to return to school until next semester, as the result of an operation four weeks before school opened. He has just left the St. Johns Hospital in Leavenworth, but will not be strong enough to climb the Hill this term. "Soup" was a freshman in the School of Engineering last semester, but will probably enter the College when he returns.
Clare Dietrich, who dropped out of school the middle of last year on account of sickness, is working in Kansas City and will attend the University next semester.
Lloyd McKemey, a junior in the College, has been forced to leave school on account of a nervous breakdown. He expects to be back next semester.
To be with her daughter, Agnes Brady, and her son, Leo Brady, both of whom are students at the University of Kansas, Mrs. W. P. Brady, of Kansas City, Mo., has moved to Lawrence. She will make her home at 201 Oread Ave.
Miss Isabelle Bennet, of Edmond, Okla., is unable to return to school on account of her mother's illness. She was doing post-graduate work in the University last year.
Mr. M, H. Read, who for the last three years has been superintendent of schools at Towanda, Kans., is taking graduate work in the School of Education.
The following girls spent the weekend at their homes in Kansas City; Virginia Lucas, Helen Hurst, and Dorothy McCamish.

At First Practice Tonight Recruits Will Play Two Varsity Veterans
Only two "K" men, "Slats" Cole, who received a letter in '14, and "Dutch" Apple of the 1915 squad, will be eligible this fall. These two will be added to by a large number of men from last year's freshman team.
The curtain will go up tonight in Robinson Gymnasium on fall basketball practice when the Varsity veterans and the new recruits turn out for the first time. Practice will be held twice a week for the first three or four weeks, and then the tossers will be worked out every night.
Among the men who show up as good material for this year's squad are Gibbons, Pausch and "Red" Craig. The latter, who has been affiliated with football, but on account of an injury received last year in the Oklahoma game to his knee; has turned to the indoor sport.
Ralph "Lefty", Sproull, freshman coach and aid to the Varsity coach, Manager Hamilton, says that he expects from fifty to seventy-five first-year men to turn out for practice and from thirty to forty Varsity men. Because of the lack of old players, practically a new team must be formed giving an opportunity to new men that go out to make the squad.
Because Ray Folk, who was elected captain of the basketball team for this year, was unable to return to school, the squad has been left without a leader. An election will be held before Christmas to fill the vacancy.

STUDENT WINS IN TENNIS
Margorie Hires, a sophomore last year, and Mrs. W, W. Yager won the Kansas City tennis title last Saturday when they defeated Miss Marguerite Chesney and Miss Evelyn Seavey in two straight sets 9-7, 6-3.
Little interest has been taken in tennis this fall because of the water-soaked condition of the courts. Last Monday night was the first and only time this fall that the courts have all been occupied.

Teachernor is in Kansas City today getting points at the big tennis exhibition that the Kansas City Athletic Club is putting on. Maurice McLoughlin, the winner of both of the Davis cup singles matches; William M. Johnston, national singles champion; and Clarence J. Griffin, who shares the national doubles title with Johnston, will be playing there.

AND STILL THAT LINEUP
IS PURELY A BIG GUESS
Although the opening of the Jayhawker football season is only three days off, the only means by which the followers of the game can figure out the lineup is by speculation. Coach Olcott and Captain James refuse to give out even a possible lineup of the men who will face William Jewell Saturday.
FRESHMEN CAPS
Olcott will probably use all the men he can in the opening game. Two full teams and possibly more will be announced Friday. The result of the first quarter will decide the number of players to be used in the Jayhawker lineup for the remainder of the game.
At the spring meeting this association voted to establish a scholarship fund of $100 to be given annually to the most deserving woman above the freshman class.
Not until after the Thanksgiving holidays will the aspirants for Varsity debating honors be given an opportunity to show their worth. Professor Hill, who has charge of debating the University again this year, said this morning that the first tryouts for the Varsity squad would probably he held sometime between the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. While nothing of importance is being attempted in the debate line at this time, yet it is understood that an unusually large number of men are making their preparations for the try-outs between the holidays.
The University Women's Association will meet with Mrs. Frank Strong Monday, at 2:30 o'clock. All women who are faculty members or wives of faculty members are eligible to membership and are urged to attend.
What has become of the loud whistle of last year that was heard so close? It used to be that this much looked for alarm could be heard on the remotest corner of the campus and in every class, but this year complains are common between teachers and students, for it is only occasionally that the classes are timed by the new groggy warning.
A hard game is not expected despite the reports from William Jewell that they have an unusual team. From present indications the weather is liable to be disagreeable and the working of Olectt's open style play might meet some snags in the first game.
