STUDENTS PAY OWN WAY
Statistics Show That Those Who Work Rank at Head of Class, Too
Of the nearly fifteen thousand students attending the eight institutions under the control of the state, more than half are paying all or a part of their expenses. The men are employed in janitor service, washing dishes at boarding clubs, working laundry routes on a commission, delivering papers, mowing lawns, cleaning off sidewalks and a hundred other like jobs, while the women are employed as stenographers, table waiters, sewing, assisting with housework, etc.
Statistics gathered by the Board of Educational Administration of the state show that these students who do work outside of school are among the best in class work and have more ability in meeting people and taking part in social and religious affairs than the others.
As an incentive to study, each institution is collecting data yearly in regard to the collective scholarship of each organization. Almost every student is a member of some fraternity and the results show a marked increase in the scholarship during the past two years.
RUN SENIOR FACES BY A-B-C
Alphabetical Arrangement In Jay hawker Is Innovation Announced By Editor
The old plan of having the seniors separated according to schools is not to be used this year in the Jayhawker, but the seniors from all the schools will be run together in alphabetical order. The reason for this, according to E. M. Johnson, the editor, is that under the previous arrangement if one wishes to look up a senior in the Annual he has first to find out in which school he was and then seek through the mixed order of arrangement in that section. This is annoying to students and particularly so to other people, who look through the book for friends.
To take the place of the old form of division there will be a new University section, a portion of which will be devoted to each of the schools. The general arrangement of this treatment of the schools will consist of the school president, the school board, followed by interior views, the faculty members, the student officers, a short literary treatment, and informal views.
Ross E. Busenbark, the business manager, declared that the new arrangement of seniors will necessitate the running of the book on a fixed schedule, for with an alphabetical arrangement of the seniors the order of the pictures can not be disarranged as the straggling habits of late comers.
FIFTEEN K. U. STUDENTS
VISITED PUGET SOUN
NUMBER 12
"K. U, has had the largest representation at the Puget Sound marine biological station for several years, even greater than that of the home state, Washington," reports Professor Baumgartner, who made his seventh trip to this section last June. He was also part of a distinguished of representatives from University of Kansas, Ottawa, Illinois and Washburn College.
Shortly after the June commencement a special car was chartered via St. Paul. It passed through the Canadian Rockies, stopping at different places of interest. From Puget Sound the students returned individually, most of them visiting the fair at San Francisco.
The fifteen K. U. student, who worked at the Puget Sound station, have brought back valuable material for their class work, besides several fine specimens for the museum.
Lloyd Spurgeon, student at K. U. in '13, but now enrolled at the Salina Wesleyan, spent Saturday and Sunday in Lawrence visiting K. U. friends.
Mrs. E, Dent of Oswego, Kans., is visiting her daughter, Marie, who is a junior in the College.
Ruth Rouse, of Wichita, a freshman in the College, has pledged Chi Omega.

CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT
IS CRAMPED FOR SPACE
On account of the large number of students enrolled in the department of chemistry, it has been necessary to study the chemistry museum into the hall.
This room, Prof, E. H. S. Bailey says, will be converted into a recitation room so that the students of this department can be accommodated. George R. King, storekeeper, is two days behind in checking out material for this reason.
NEW FOOTBALL RULES
Board Advocates Clean Sport and Penalizing for Display
Important changes in the football rules will be in operation this year at K. U. These are rules that every lover of this sport will endorse as most of the changes were made to clear up doubtful practices in regard to good sportsmanship, such as the practice of putting in a subs腱刃 to the purpose of conveying information.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS,
TUESDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 28, 1915
The board again showed interest in the betterment of the game by its disapproval of certain play shows. The center is now prohibited making a motion in suspense to the ball back, but must actually let the ball go.
The peculiar method of blocking and interfering, *kɪl kɪl*, is to throw their legs in the *kɪl* as in ruler out. Throwing the legs and striking a man above the knee will be penchant for providing that striking a man in the same way below the knees is "tripping."
The penalty for unspepsmanlike conduct was changed to 15 yards, but the power was placed in the hands of a judge who could justify for flagrant violation of the rule.
Players must handle the full-back with more care than in previous seasons. Running into the full-back is penalized 15 yards, but "roughing" him is penalized 15 yards and disqualification.
The flocking of substitutes in the last period has been stopped and no re-substituting will be allowed except at the beginning of a period. Interferers will no longer be permitted to knock down the secondary defense after the first tour; will the defence be permitted to run into a man after the whistle.
Several other changes in the rules were made but of a corrective nature and not altering the method of play.
OUR OLD FRIEND, P. C.
AGAIN GETS INTO PRINT
While scouring the campus for news the other day, a Kansas cul chanced to pass Blake Hall, and glancing up at that relic of K. U. which has kept time for the past fifteen years—sometimes—was surprised to find an electric light bulb on the end of each of the hands that old P. C. has shamfully held before its face for these many years.
The Mathematics Club met yesterday afternoon and elected the following officers: president, Cyril A. Nell son; secretary-treasurer, Amnette Ashson; faculty member, Mathematics Club meets twice each month in the Administration Building to study subjects not given in the regular courses
The youthful Pulitzer ran up the steps of Blake Hall to get the story, Prof. F. E. Kester, of the department of physics, smiled genially when the reporter mentioned the timepiece. "Yes," replied Professor Kester, "those light bulbs have been on the clock a short time, a matter of fourteen or fifteen years, ever since the clock was put up there."
According to Professor Kester they burned several days at that time and there is about as much likelihood of their burning this fall as there is of the old clock keeping accurate time.
Frances Jobes, a freshman in the College, has returned from Kansas City where she spent the week-end visiting her parents.

KANSAS GRADUATE MISSING
Myrtle Shane, of the Class '98, Among the Armenians of Turkey
Miss Myrtle Shane, a K. U., graduate of 1898 and missionary to the Armenians of Turkey, has been reported at the department of Washington as missing. Miss Shane left Lawrence two years ago for Bittis, Turkey, where she served with the Congregational College. She was very successful in the work there and last spring was promoted to the head of the College.
When the news came that the Turks were exterminating the Armenian population, because of the help that the Turks asserted they gave the Russians, friends of Miss Shane became anxious. But when it was reported that the College at Bitlis had been closed and that Miss Shane was among the missing, fear was felt for her safety.
Mrs. Thompson, a resident of Lawrence, and a sister of the missionary, said today, "No news has come directly to us. We had a message from Washington Saturday, which stated that Myron Keeley was killed in Bitts. But whether she has escaped or been killed, we do not yet know."
The University W men's Association will meet with Mrs. Frank Strong Monday, at 1:00 o'clock. All women who are facu y members or wives of faculty members are eligible to membership and are urged to attend.

FOSSIL SUIT IS APPEALED
Logan County Farmer Takes Case Against Regents to Supreme Court
The now historic "fossil suit" of Peter L. Garrity of Logan county against the Board of Regents of the University was certified for trial in the State Supreme court last week. The suit is for $5,000, the accepted value of a fossil taken from Mr. Garrity's railway by a University Geological Survey party in the summer of 1912.
Court
The case probably will not be heard until the late spring of next year as the calendar of the Supreme Court now stands. The case first appeared in the district court of New York in 1914. The Board of Regents was able to defeat the suit in this court, but, it is said, may not be so successful in the appealed case.
Miss Virginia Stone left Sunday afternoon for her home in Kansas City, after spending the first two weeks at the Kappa Alpha Theta house.
PHI ALPHA TAUS START
At a meeting of Phi Alpha Tau, national dramatic fraternity, last week, it was decided to start a library for the benefit of the fraternity. The library will be kept in the basement of Green Hall in Prof. Arthur MacMurray's department and will be added to from time to time. The books will all contain the latest on the dramatic art, and the principal ones will be on the make-up of actors. It is the aim of the fraternity to obtain drafts of all plays written as soon as they are off the press.
Louise Bierer, a sophomore in the College spent the week-end in Manhattan. Miss Bierer was a guest at the Lambda house.

PLAN FOR GIGANTIC RALLY
Gaitskill and His Assistants Work Out Details for First Pep Fest of Season
Plans for the first big football rally next Friday night in the gym are being rapidly formulated by Joe Gaitskill and his assistants, Eugene Gumel and Kenneth Gedney. A few "shot"s from Manager W. O. Hamilton, Coach Olcott and Cap, Tony James will liven up the periods between "Bock Chalks." A place on the program is being arranged for Prof. Arthur Nevin, the new voice instructor, and J. C. McMcanlas will be with his band to blare out the first "Crimson and Blue" of the season.
Gaitskill is hoping to see every student out for the big initial pep meeting and freshmen especially are urged to attend as all the upperclassman will be there and the first year followers only need to get started right. The rally will start promptly at 7 o'clock and the "fussers" are urged to bring their dates up with them and help in making this a custom.
"New yells are always welcome," said Gaitskill last night. "Any that are submitted will be considered. If they appeal to the rooters they will be used." Gaitskill will probably use four or five good live yells and resort to a good sound, all at the same year than he has been used heretofore. He is adopting this idea from the systems in vogue at other colleges.
Students May Trot at Fraternal Aid Announces President Jones of the College
COLLEGE DANCE FOR FRIDAY
Following the many reports of bogus "University Dances" that have been confusing the students for the past weeks, comes the announcement from Ogden Jones, president of the College, of a genuine, legal, regular college dance. The students were torn last week between the desire to dance and the fear of breaking the University law against public dances.
The dance Friday night was saved at the last moment, by the Student Council taking charge. However, the student dance announced at Ecke's was a failure for the hall was darkened at 9 o'clock.
But now Mr. Ogden Jones has come to the front and is announcing a college dance for Friday night at Fraternal Aid Hall. It is scheduled by the Committee of Student Interests, and is guaranteed to be properly proper and legitimate. Jones hopes the whole student body will be out.
"JIM" IS TOO HONEST
TO GET AWAY WITH TIPS
"Why, Ah bleg yo' pachen, Miss," he said finally, "but Ah thought dat some ofyo' ladies had left date dime there fo'a tip. Ah e'taintly beg yo' pachen." And the dime slinked from his fist to the table. The young woman says that next time Jim is going to have that dime.
"Jim," the tallest of the waiters at Lee's, is an honest though grasping individual. Last night a young woman stopped in to have a coke on her way home. The affair was Dutch, and the girl was carrying the dime necessary for her refreshment. She laid it upon the table before her while she was taking a drink. She had left with the orders when a wall went up. The dime when had vanished.
When he returned with the orders Jim found the young woman in distress bewailing the loss of her dime. Then Jim blushed. A look of confusion as near as his color would permit.
CROWN to be MEMBER Pat Crowell, captain of the "AllVictorious" football team of 1908, is engaged to Miss Virginia Walton ofHarper, Kansas. The announcement appeared this week in a paper published in Attica, which it "Pat's" home town.

Professor Brown has been traveling in the east this summer listening to all the latest "hits," such as the album of 1910 and "The Passing Show."
LIFE OF SELF SACRIFICE
Bulgarian Studies to be Medical Missionary in His Homeland
Peter D. Jankoff, a second year Medical student, will return to Bulgaria, when he has obtained his degree to minister to the needs of his countrymen. The state has subsidized the medical profession, and each doctor receives $120.00 a month, in addition to his fees.
Need For Doctors
"The inhabitants of a hundred square miles of territory in Bulgaria often are dependent upon the services of one physician," Mr. Yankoff explained to a Kansan reporter today "and many hundreds die annually who are unable to obtain aid.
"Also, a degree is easier to obtain in this country than in Europe There, one must have a college degree before he is allowed to take up professional and technical courses while here one can enter some university direct from high school."
"My father and mother died without medical aid. I determined to give my life to alleviate the suffering of my people. I had heard that in the United States one could work his way through school. A thing which cannot be done in my country. There one has to be rich to get an education, for the student is looked up to and must uphold the dignity of his class.
Early Life
Mr. Yankoff was born in Bulgaria thirty years ago, of poor parents. When he had received the education that his uncle, an Orthodox priest, was able to give him, his parents bound him out to a shemaker for three years. At the end of this bondage, he obtained a position in a large importing house in Bargas, a coast town. As he left his family home, his mother's parting advice was the old proverb. Where were they there? Life this old saying has upheld him, when difficulties blocked the way. At the age of nineteen, he came to the United States, where a fellow-countryman told him of Park College, and their scheme of self-support.
Student Career
In eight years, with no knowledge of the English language to aid him at first, Mr. Yankoff graduated from Park College with honors. Two years ago he entered the medical department of this University, and will return to Bulgaria as a medical missionary when he graduates.
CANSAS MUNICIPALITIES

Two Score and One Students Aspire to Places on Class Administrations
Forty-one candidates' petitions were filed this morning with Leland Thompson, president of the Student Council, the last of the documents arriving at noon, when the time limit for the filing of the petitions expired.
Tonight the Student Council will meet to pass upon the petitions and to determine the eligibility of the candidates.
At 9 o'clock the first petition, signed by twenty-five friends of that particular candidate, reached the president of the Student Council, and from on until the last moment, Thompson was allowed hardly a minute's peace—just that steadily did the petitions come pouring in.
This morning the campus was the scent of greatest activity. Let the weary student turn any way he would, and his eyes would fall upon some energetic politician, hurrying hither and thither with a sheet of paper in one hand and a pencil in the other, seeking out the members of his class with the hope of inducing them to sign his petition.
A little ripple of excitement was caused in the freshman class this morning by the appearance of another ticket, on which A. A. Axline was booked for the presidency of the first year students.
With this single exception, however, no new tickets have been tossed into the ring.
The complete list of the candidates
fired their petitions today is as
