UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
VOLUME XIII.
THEY'LL GET LICENSES
NUMBER 8
University Physicians Will Follow Advice of State Medical Secretary
Acting on the suggestion of Chancellor Frank Strong, the Board of Administration will likely ask the three University faculty members, who have medical degrees, to take out license to practice in the state. Not that these men would be violating any state law by continuing the original plan of the University hospital, but to do away with a big part of the objection this method will be adopted.
Dr. H. A. Dykes of Lebanon, secretary of the state board of medical registration and examination, appeared in Lawrence Monday to investigate the complaint made to him that University faculty members were practicing medicine without holding a Kansas license. In the afternoon Dr. Dykes a meeting at the Chancellor's office with the following present: Dr. John Sandwalt, Dr. S. A. Mathews, Chancellor Strong, Alice L. Goetz and Judge J. W. Green.
At the meeting it was explained to Dr. Dykes that the members of the faculty would not receive compensation for their work in connection with the hospital. Dr. Dykes then said they were not making themselves liable in any way but recommended that each take out a license. The Board will take this subject up at the next meeting.
It seems that the biggest objection now is coming from the parents of students who live in this city. Many have been heard to say that they think they should not be compelled to pay the $2 fee because they never expect to make use of the hospital. They explain that they have their own family physician and arrangements made in case of sickness.
S. D. Bishop, an attorney, has been retained by local physicians to look up the law and determine whether or not the Board has the right to impose such a fee upon the student body. Mr. Bishop explained today that he was not ready to make any statement.
The original plan of the Board of Administration was to obtain a physician to take complete charge of the University hospital. This would put the state to an extra expense so it was finally arranged to have the University Faculty take over the work. The Board of Administration, by the Law, physicians has caused no little trouble but since arrangements have been made to act on the advice of Dr. Dykes it is thought that most of the trouble is at an end.
TEAS FOR THE WOMEN OF K. U
Mrs. Eustace Brown Plans Series for Different Classes—Freshmen
First
Definite plans for the series of teas to be given by Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women, for the various classes in the University were announced this morning. Freshmen women will be entertained October 10th being the date set. Mrs. Frank Strong will receive with Mrs. Brown.
On October 8 the women of the sophomore class will be entertained; on October 15, the junior women, and on October 22, the women in the senior class and in the Graduate School. Practically 'the same sort of entertainment will be given each class, and all of the affairs will take place in the women's corner of Fraser Hall.
"My plans seem to indicate that the teas will be very enjoyable," said Mrs. Brown this morning in discussing the matter. "It is fortunate, too, that they will all be over by October 22, as there will only be a week left after that in which to prepare for the big Halloween party in the gym. A week's time will be ample, however, I'm sure."
With five entertainments within the single month of October, Mrs. Brown should be one of the busiest women of the faculty.

"BID WAGON" MAKES TRIP—
SORORITY RUNNING ENDS
Today ends the strenuous ten day rushing season of the sororities, much to the joy of both present and prospective members. The suspense, as well as the continuous succession of teas, dinners and breakfasts, am what not. The "bid wagon" made its rounds this afternoon.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFERNOON, SEPTEMBER 22, 1915
Now will be seen groups of the fair co-eds walking to and from the campus telling each other of, the "bumps" they gave the others, on the bus. Some students went and didn't get, and why. And so the story goes year after year.
K. U. CAN GET WAR NEWS
Wireless Station is in Communication With Sayville, Long
Island
"Germans enter Petrograd," or "Russians cut off German left wing!" K. U, may receive such a message any time. The new wireless station N X P, located in Blake Hall, is in Sawyer, in the township in Sayville, Long Island, where the war messages from Germany come in.
No more wail stories of doubtful authenticity will be forced on K. U. now that she has a wireless station of her own, with a government lieutenant in charge. The wireless is capable of sending news from three to four hundred miles, but at present is being used merely for experimental purposes.

K. U. TO HEAR ARTISTS CHAPEL RE-INTRODUCED
famous Entertainers are Date to Appear Before Students During Coming Year
High class entertainment for the University students is the goal sought by F. R. Hamilton, head of the Extension Division and member of the committee in charge of University entertainment this year. The first to appear is Daniel A. Huebsch, of Cleveland, Ohio, who will give five lectures on art, the topics being; "Master Artists," "Art Treatures of Europe," "Great Epochs of Art," "The Old Testament in Art," and "Pathways to the Field of Art." Each of these lectures will be fully illustrated by liantern slides and given in such a way that they can be appreciated to those not specializing in art.
Frank Speaight, "The Man Who Makes Dickens Alive" comes on December 13 in his Dramatic Dickens Recitals. Mr. Speaight has toured America during the past few winters and will arrive in New York Oct her 1 and start on his trip across the continent. This will be his initial appearance before a University of Kansas audience. A few days before the Christmas recess begins, Prof. R. A. Millikin, head of the department of physics at the University of Chicago, will lecture on scientific subjects before the local chapter of Sigma Xi, national scientific fraternity. Professor Millikin is the author of three text-books and will make his lecture popular in words and tone so as to interest all.
The first speaker for 1916 is Irving Bachiller, author and lecturer, who will give his famous lecture "Keeping up with Lizzie." Mr. Bachiller believes in being an American first. He has no use for foreign accents, foreign titles or foreign customs. He believes in the Yankee style of life, the character of American home-life. This attitude of mind is reflected in his lectures as well as his books. He comes January 10.
Ida M. Tarbell, formerly editorial writer on McClures Magazine and now on the editorial staff of the American Magazine comes in February. Miss Tarbell was here last year and her reception in February is sure to reflect the high esteem in the minds of the students as a result of her appearance last year. April 27 will find Dr. Alma Webster Powell, prima-donna soprano of fame, here as part of an event in a Human Need." Dr. Powell beheld instruction along musical lines and is touring the country in an effort to secure some action in communities toward the realization of her dream.
Dates have not been set, but efforts are being made to get Norman Thomas Mott. Osborne, and Helen Keller. They will be the months of November, March and May.
Chancellor Announces All-University Assembly for Second Friday of Each Month
Chapel exercises at stated intervals—the second Friday morning of each month at 10:30—is the plan inaugurated and announced by Chancellor Frank Strong today. Morning prayers will be continued as usual.
"After the experience of a year with our convocations and morning prayers I have felt that we have missed the unifying influence that used to come from our Friday morning chapels where talks could be made about the trauma and other matters, intimately concerning the life of the University," said the Chancellor, in discussing the change.
"After consultation with the chairmen of the chapel and convocation committees it has seemed to me wise that the convocations, which under the rule of the Senate were left in my hands, should take on a little different form from that of last year. The event will be come at stated intervals—on the second Friday morning of each month at ten-thirty o'clock.
"I should like to have them take on the aspect of the old chapel exercise, which was really a mixed service. When outside speakers are available who would speak at a convocation, they may be used at this All-University Chapel. The number of exercises would not exceed greatly, if at all, the number of convocations called by teachers. I believe one disadvantage in that it displaces the same recitation each time, but in common with others I believe that this disadvantage is more than offset by the advantage to the University of an exercise that has heretofore proved of great unifying value."
The K. U. Debating Society will hold its first meeting Thursday evening at 7:30 in Room 311, Fraser Hall. Plans to start its work early this week.
K, U. DEBATING SOCIETY WILL MEE THURSDAY

The total number of students registered at 2 p. m. today was 2347, an increase of 68 since Monday, when 2279 had paid their fees. The Regis-
saries had 507,100 people, they may sorting out the names and making up the lists for the directory.

BASEBALL CAPTAIN TO
WORK IN DRUG STORE
Claude "Pete" Wandel, captain-elect of the 1916 baseball team, left this morning for Troy, Kansas, to work in a local drug store. Pete intends to stay out only one term and will be working with his teammates next spring.
"I will sure be back the second semester," said Wandel before he left this morning. "From present indications we will have another championship team next year and I hope comes up to chance the dope."
The broken ankle which Wandel received playing ball last year is almost well and according to left fielder himself it will be as good as new when he returns.
K. U. MEN GET INTO PRINT
Debaters are Among Contributors to New Public Speaking
Books
Six K. U, men jumped into the list of authors who can really get their stuff printed when five books made their appearance yesterday in the office of the department of public speaking. The books in question are copies of "intercollegiate Debates, Volume Five," published by Hinds, Noble, and Eldridge, of New York City, Eigbert Ray Nichols of the University of Redlands, is the author, and among the contributors are found six K. U, debaters: Avery F. Olney, Harold F. Matteron, A. Shinn, O. T. Atherton, Donald B. Joseph, and Arvid L. Frank.
"Unicameral Legislation for States Governments," the subject used in 1913 for the Kansas-Oklahoma-Corridor Triangular Delate, is the title under which the Kansas contributions are printed. It was the intention of the editor to choose the best of the intercollegiate debates all over the country, and the fact that K. U. broke into print from pages 281 to 328 inclusive speaks well for the faculty of the Kansas. Prof. C. O. Hardy, of Hardy's work at Prof. C. O. Hardy, who was a judge at the time of the '13 debate, says it is one of the best student debates he has ever heard.
Only three of the men who had their speeches printed in the volume are in school at present. Oney, who lives in Lawrence, received his A. B. last spring, but is back on the Hill with a fellowship in the School of Education. Mattoon, also of Lawrence, made Phi Beta Kappa when he secured his A. B. last June, and is back this year taking law. Shinn, who comes from Cherryvale, is a senior College this year. It is an interesting fact that all three men were on the same team, defending the affirmative of the question against Colorado.
The members of the other team, who debated the negative with Oklahoma, have scattered widely. Atherton, K. U. law, '14 is a partner in the law firm of Huggins & Atherton, In Emporia. Joseph, who received an A. B. last spring, is at his home in Whitewater, farming and ranching; Frank, who was a Phi Beta Kappa man, receiving an A. B. in '14, is in Kansas City, Missouri, with the Deewey-Portland Cement Company.
A curious fact in regard to the publication of the debates is that while Kansas lost to Oklahoma, thereby allowing the Sooners to win the debate proper, the editor of the book selected both Kansas arguments as being superior.
BIBLE STUDY CAMPAIGN ON
Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. to Aid Church Organizations in
Work
Student pastors and representative students from each of several churches of the city, met at Myers Hall Monday night to make plans for the Bible Campaign which is to be carried on by the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. of the University. The campaigners have chosen for their motto, "Every man and woman of the University in some Bible Study class this year," and will work toward that end.
The committees will meet at their respective churches tomorrow night to discuss their individual church problems in regard to the campaign.
W. H. Collins, a graduate of the School of Education, is teaching in the Peru high school.
MORE FOOTBALL PLAYERS
Prof. H. A. Lorenz Will Let Freshmen Study Sport as Part of Gym
No longer will there be a scarcity of football material.
At the present time only 52 suits have been checked out for freshman football against an average of nearly 100 in previous years. Professor Lorenz thinks that this is due greatly to a feeling of bashfulness or again to lack of knowledge on the part of the new men, which he hopes to overcome by his new arrangement of gymnasium classes.
Prof. H. A. Lorenz of the department of physical training has formulated a plan whereby all freshmen will be allowed to take football training as a part of their regular gymnasium work.
Members of the 3:30 class who wish, will receive a careful training in the rudiments of the big game without a feeling that they are performing for spectators. And those who show an aptness for the game will make up a team that in time will make the regulars on the freshman team "hump" to keep their places.
Professor Lorenz is also inaugurating several other features to do away with the usual monotony of gymnasium work. With the close order military marching real guns are furnished and, if plans materialize freshmen will be taught to shoot. The 11:30 class along with swimming will take cross-country. The 2:30 division will have soccer football.
After the long experience which Professor Lorenz has had in athletics we may look forward to seeing great things done by the freshmen.
W. S. G. A. WILL ENTERTAIN Women's Governing Body Plan Social Functions, As Well As Rule Enforcement
"The Women's Student Government Association plans to include many social functions with its more serious plans," said Miss Blanche Mullen, its president, this morning. "Several mixers for girls and four or five mildy dances are being considered to unite the girls of the institution and make them better acquainted. The tea given at Mrs. Brown's rooms in Fraser last Friday was the first of these affairs.
"The midweek date rule will be enforced this year as well as the 10:30 rule. No new rules have been adopted as yet, since it has been imple- mated to hold a meeting this year. One is planned for the last of this week, however."
The plans for a girls' co-operative house are being pushed so that it is hoped to have it in operation by the second semester.
Dramatists to Meet
Phi Alpha Tau, national dramatic fraternity on the Hill will hold its first meeting Thursday night at 8 o'clock at the Pi Kappa Alma house. The purpose of the meeting is to elect new president, since the former president Frank McPearl failed to return to school. A smoker will follow.
MacMurray Pleased
Prof. Arthur MacMurray, of the department of public speaking, has been much gratified at learn of the success of a former pupil in being appointed the new head of the department of elocution at K. S. A. C. J. University. He took three years of instruction under Professor MacMurray, and during his college career was the most prominent debater in school.
I shall appreciate it greatly if students and faculty alike will come freely to my office at any time to confer with me or to express opinions on any matter affecting the University. Frank expressions of opinion will greatly assist us all in increasing the unity and efficiency of the University.
