ROBINS SPEAKS SUNDAY
The Man Who Roused University Last March Comes Back Again
Raymond Robins will be here again When?
Next Sunday.
The man who made the Mott meetings hum last March is scheduled to appear on the campus next Sunday for two meetings. In the afternoon there will be a meeting for men only at 3 o'clock. At 8 o'clock in the evening, the gymnasium, janitories and all—are invited to Raymond Gymnasium to hear Raymond Robins lecture on some subject of world-wide importance.
Robins has been doing work in the slums of Chicago and has a thorough understanding of the living conditions in that city's lower quarters. He spent a few years of his life in the mines of Alaska, where he came in contact with men of courage and ambition. He knows what it is to be up against the real tests of life and has been imparting his information to the men in American colleges during the past winter.
The entire nine months till the close of school in June will be spent among college men in America in an effort to arouse in them a feeling of responsibility for existing conditions and awake in the need to teach world civilization and the spread of the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Jack Childs of the University of Wisconsin, who was here during the meetings last March, will accompany Tobins on his work this winter and will be here Sunday.

Mrs Eustace Brown Plans for Big University Party on All Hallow's Eve
NUMBER 6
The plans already made, although provisional call for a costume party for the students and faculty of the University. An hour in the early part of the evening will be given over to a Scotch program. Suggestions already being considered are tableaux from the works of Robert Burns such as Tam O Shanter or Peter anne de Lisle of the University men. The remainder of the evening will be given over to dancing and refreshments will be served. All fraternities and sororites have been requested to keep the evening open in an effort to have the whole student body present.
Make that date now for Saturday evening, October 30th. That is the date set for the all-University Halloween party. You cannot afford to miss being there. Mrs. Eustace Brown is busy with business for the entertainment will soon be named to make arrangements for the entertainment.
BOARD NAMES ASSISTANTS
Friday
Additional Fellows and Instructors Named at Meeting
At a meeting of the Board of Administration in Fraser Hall Friday the following appointments were made:
W. W. Swingle was appointed a fellow in zoology.
Walter B. Bodenhafe, a fellow in sociology last spring, was appointed as an instructor to succeed E. W. Burress.
L. D. Lacy, of Phillips College, was appointed a fellow in sociology.
Cecil Haff, a student, was an ap pointed as an assistant in the Engi program.
H. S. Nelson, appointed as appointee and stenographer to the Dean of the college
A certificate or Certified Public Acquaintance was granted to Clinton B. Mason.
Ernest Lyder, was appointed as a research assistant in the state chemist.
Richard L. Gryder, was named as an instructor in mining. This is a new position.
Chester M. Patterson is back or the Hill to continue his journalism work. He swung an aluminum sack behind himself and secured the moment of his muscles and his purse.
Plain Tales From the Hill
Hugh Grutzmacher, who was the only Kansas man to win a place in the big western inter-collegiate track meet last spring at Urbana, is back on the Hill. Grutzmacher has kept in training all summer and believes that he can win next season when he returns next spring when the season opens. He got fourth place at Urbana with a jump of twenty-two feet eight inches.
Francis McCall, vice-president of last year's freshman class, is again in school but only for one semester. A bank in lola, his home town, has made him a flattering offer and Pat says, "I just can't turn it down."
Ralph K. Collins, sophomore Medic, spent the summer in New Mexico and persuaded two of the inhabitants to attend K. U. He reports that they were so anxious to come that he had a hard time to get them to finish high school in their home state.
Ralph and Darwin Pattinson, students on the Hill, spent the summer touring in their Cadillac automobile. They went to San Francisco and the exposition, stopping off at many places along the way. They were gone two and a half months.
The stunt of selling chapel tickets to most modern freshmen has become a difficult task, but one of the upperclassmen had an easy job the other morning when he called up two women from Fort Scott and purporting to be one of the clerks in Registrar Foster's office, convinced them that they must obtain their chapel tickets at once. Their pride took a 100 per cent slump later in the day when they discovered their error.
Samuel P. Moyer, senior engineer, has decided to stay out of K. U. this year and let his brother have a chance to gain a higher education at Washburn. Sam expects to be with us again next year.
Frank Strong, Jr., seven year old son of the Chancellor, has already begun to show unusual diplomatic ability. He met his father walking with him in an afternoon with a young lady and immediately "struck" him for a nickle.
A freshman who arrived at con-
vocation Friday just as the last mem-
bers of the faculty were marching up to their places, evidently mistook them for some of his fellow students and then took them to the plat-form. Seeing his mistake he made his way in haste to the back of the room.
Miss Neva Watson, sophomore in the College last year, will not be able to enroll this semester. She had made preparations to return, but was sized with an attack of appendicitis and is now under a doctor's care.
Miss Lillian Martin, of Topeka,
daughter of the adjutant-general of
the state militin has returned to
her former an extended trip to
California.
Miss Thrysa Amos is back on the Hill this year taking special work in the School of Education. She has been superintendent of the schools at Spivey for the last three years.
Frank Huey, freshman College last year, will not return to school. He is working in a bank at Newton, his home town, but may be back later.
James G. Ackrish, who has had charge of the boys at different chautaquas this summer, and who is familiar with work of the same sort in various phases, has been engaged to help in the Boy Scout work at the city Y. M. C. A. He is enrolled in classes on the Hill related to his line of work.
M. H. Warren, a senior in the College last year, will not be back this semester, but will finish by correspondence. "Mac" will devote his entire time to his duties as secretary of the school. Mr. Hall will assist an ent to Coach Bert Kennedy. He says that Haskell has plenty of good material.
Carl Jolliffe, sophomore College last year, is teaching school at Burrton, Kansas, and will not be 'on the Hill this year. He expects to attend the Nebraska game, however.
There is some little orchestra making music over at L. E. Decker's place in 1046% Tennessee. The, cornet, clarinet, traps, and piano are represented, and there is plenty of room for the instruments. At the house have complete charge of the organization and make open for engagement times winter.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 20.1915
Those Lawrence physicians who flew into a panic when they thought that the University was going to hurt their business by free medical treatment ought to be able to see their own pettiness now in the light of the statement issued by the University committee in charge of student health.
QUACK MEDICAL ETHICS
Rigid examinations are to be made of each student the committee says. This will include "an examination of the blood—both count and pressure, a determination of the functioning powers of the various vital organs so far as can be determined by analysis of excretions." And then to hush those Lawrence physicians who fear that they may lose some profitable business the committee adds this:
"The University does not feel that physicians in Lawrence will be unprofitable affected by this procedure. It is not as purpose to divorce itself from the medical profession and no doubt students will continue to consult the medical profession of the city. The facilities of the infirmary will go to all medical men dealing with students.
The fact that some Lawrence doctors have to be told that a measure to improve the public health won't hurt their business before they will stop fighting it throws an unsavory air about the ethics of part of the profession in Lawrence. It looks very much as though a few of these doctors were out purely for profit. That they wanted to see students fall ill with typhoid so that they could treat them and get paid for it. That they wanted students to go on ignorant of dangerous ailments of which they could know nothing until expensive treatment was the only alternative. That they wanted unsanitary conditions and disease breeding food and everything else that would pile up doctor bills.
"Again when defects are discovered, students will be advised to consult members of the profession. In no wise is it the purpose of the University to compete with the medical fraternity. It is aim is to keep the students well."
Most physicians in Lawrence have high ethics. They do not countermeasure these conditions for a moment. And most of them want to see the University downhat it can to safeguard the health of its students. Others who oppose the University's plan are no doubt honest in their intent. They are merely ignorant of what the University intends to do. But a few do not seem to catch the spirit of the real medical servant. These few are still in the quack stage—they are out for profit and public health can be damaged. It is the duty of self-respecting physicians to see that unworthy members of the profession do not injure the whole fraternity in the eyes of the public.
First Year Men Should Go Alone and Root, Say Students
Several hundred students and faculty members attended the University reception in the Gymnasium Saturday and met new students and instructors.
NO DATES FOR FRESHIES 2,279 READY. FOR WORK
Chancellor and Mrs. Frank Strong headed the receiving line. Punch was served.
Engineers Meet
STUDENTS AND FACULTY MEET AT BIG RECEPTION
Poor old freshie! He gets it from all sides. First the fellows paddle him if he doesn't wear his miniature laden. Then he gets balled out in cartoons. The latest development in the history of his downfall is a movement started on the campus this fall to make it unadvisable for a girl to give a freshman a date for a football game.
The advisor of women, members of the Y. W. cabinet and the executive committee of the W. S. G. A. are in favor of such a rule and the matter should be considered at the next meeting of the governing body for women.
"I sincerely hope the women's governing body passes some kind of a rule asking the women of the school not to give dates to freshmen for the football games," said Cheerleader Joe Gaskill, this afternoon. "The fellows who have been here before will all be in the rooting section. It is the new man whom we want to get out. I believe such a ruling would make a difference of thirty per cent in the rooting."
The idea is not that freshmen do not make entertaining companions and all of that, but the fact that a date keeps them out of the rooting section has led those in authority to think that some sort of an impediment to companionship with the fairies at gridiron contests would help give the Thundering Thousand more pop. In fact, it is deemed advisable to discourage dates by anybody for football games.
A meeting of the governing board of the Associated Engineers' Societies and of the editorial staff of the Kandass Engineer is called for 4:30 p'clock Tuesday afternoon at Dean P. F. Walker's office in Marvin Hall.
A comparison of the registration figures for last Saturday night with those of the same time a year ago show an increase in enrollment at the University of 131. Last year the enrollment had reached 2148 at the end of the first week and this year 2279 had passed the registrar's desk. This increase includes the summer school or the enrollment at Rosedale. Last year, fifty students were taking work at Rosedale and the summer school attendance of students who did not enroll for work in the fall was 350.
Enrollment Figures Go 131 Higher Than at End of Week Last Year
BLUE "K" BOOKS GO FAST
One Thousand "Freshman Bibles"
Have Been Distributed—One
for Every Man
The "K" books are going fast. One thousand of them have been distributed by the Y. M, so far this fall and fellows are filing into the office in Myers Hall all day long with a request for the "freshman's Bible."
Lab. Hunting The Vanilla
Every man in the University is entitled to one of these little hand-books of information and may have it by calling at the office of the Y. M. secretary. For extra copies to be obtained colloquially some chum the small price of fifteen cents will be charged to cover the cost of printing.
An unknown brand of vanilla extract was the object of a rigid investigation in the State Food Laboratory today, while samples of "Pure Apple Vinegar" and a dozen or two bottles of pop awaited their turn. The laboratory is kept busy most of the time analyzing the samples sent in by the inspectors. "Some days there is not much doing," Professor Estes said, "ubt on others we receive as many as fifty samples."
A large number of students are enrolled this year in the food analysis courses under Professor Bailey, head of the department.
FACULTY STOKE UP FOR
YEAR-WELCOME NEW MEN
Minnie Moody, sophomore College will instruct this term in Zoology laboratory.
A smoker was given last Friday night at the University Club for the purpose of enabling the recent arrivals on the faculty to get acquainted with their new colleagues. About one hundred were present.
There was an abundance of cigars and smoking tobacco; and inter in the evening, coffee and sandwiches on the evening ended at half past eleven.
Chancellor Strong and Dean Templin, Dean Blackmar and Doctor Sundwall were present.
Among the new men were Harold L. Butler, Dean of the School of Fine Arts; Arthur C. Terrill, professor of mining and ore dressing; J. G. Brandt, successor for a year to Prof. A. M. Wilcox, who is absent on leave; Harold G. Ingham the secretary of the correspondence study department; Blaine F. Moore, assistant professor of political science; William R. Leeson the journalist; Arthur W. Larsen, instructor in mathematics; Karl L. Holsinger, instructor in mathematics; Herbert Flint, instructor in rhetoric; Percy B. Shostac, instructor in rhetoric; L. L. Steinley, instructor in mathematics; Laurens E. Whittimore, instructor in physics.
SORORITIES STILL RUSH
"Bid Wagon" Will End Suspense on Wednesday, When Rushees Decide
Now that the fraternities have just about finished their campaign for new material, interest centers on the outcome of the sorority rushing. For the past week Mount Oread's social calendar has been a gray round of dances, afternoon and evening, chocolates, teas, card parties, cotillions, and every other sort of entertainment conceivable by the fertile mind of the sorority woman intent on enlisting new members.
The excitement is just about over for on Wednesday the “bid wagon” makes its round, and by evening the suspense will be ended. The custom of the bid wagon is unique. Commencing Wednesday morning, sorority members are forbidden to speak to their prospective sisters. At three o'clock an automobile containing a representative from each sorority leaves the library with the bids. All are identical, and are issued under a special license from the Council. They are delivered to the freshmen, who call up the crowd with whom they intend to cast their fortunes. And there is joy when a doubtful one accepts, and sorrow when she joins the other sorority.
There is not as much uncertainty as the system would indicate, however, for the women, both rushi and rushed, know pretty well which way the freshman will decide by the time the bid wagon makes its rounds. With the fraternities it is not so, for their rush ends after three or four days of strenuousness—they talk, rather than send formal invitations.
Leland Fiske, K manh and half miler,
has returned to school. Fiske is in
much better shape than he was last
year, and should prove a valuable
man to the track squad.
SIXTY MEN MAKE OWN WAY
Y. M. C. A. Has Obtained Positions for More Than One Hundred Students
Through the efforts of the employment bureau of the University Y. M. C. A., more than one hundred men have secured positions already this year. Sixty of these jobs are permanent and will yield the holder an income during the entire school year. Sixteen of them will be on Saturday work which will give the fellow more extra spending money or enough to nav his board.
K. U. GETS A NEW DEAN
Washing dishes, waiting tables, mowing lawns, carrying papers, working laundry routes, stenographic and typewriting work, cooking in restaurants, clerking in stores, barbers, hairdressers, and service workers are among the numerous occupations being done by men in the University this year.
Alden Torey, a freshman in the College last year, who left the University to accept a position with the Santa Fe, has returned to school.
F. J. Kelly, of the Kansas State Normal, Joins Faculty of State University
F. J. Kelly of the State Normal has been chosen Dean of the School of Education of the University of Kansas. The appointment was made last night by the Board of Administration in session here.
The new Dean is at present in charge of the Training School at the State Normal and his work on the productive side of education—new methods, new forms in school records, efficiency devices—brought him to the favorable attention of the Board and educators generally. It is pointed out that his work is important in that the graduate should be trained in the high schools of the state, and their training under him will enable the state high schools to profit by his emphasis on efficiency in educational matters.
Professor Kelly is the author of the reading test adopted by the New York City, Detroit and other public schools. Nineteen Kansas schools, also are using his reading test this year. The test assists teachers in improving the silent reading of the pupils by developing their ability to grasp and retain the thought expressed by the printed page.
Mr. Kelly installed one of the first six-year high schools in the country at
Professor Kelly was graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1902 and was given a doctor's degree by Columbia University in 1914 for his study of the variability and standardization of teacher's marks. He has taught in the public schools of Nebraska and Dakota, in the public department of the South Dakota, Normal, and has given courses in the summer schools of the University of Missouri and Normal University at Normal, Illinois.
McCANLES WANTS TWO BANDS
Wealth of Good Material Appears and Director Plans for Second Squad
"If the men keep coming out to the tryouts as they have started, I think we shall have two bands at the University this year," said Band Director J. C. McCanles, this afternoon. "We had so many at the first tryout that not all could be given a chance, and so a second opportunity will be given this evening. I should like to see if fifty more fellows out in Halloween themed parties and expectations are justified, we shall have two bands here this year that any university could well be proud of."
Fifty men were present at the initial tryout Wednesday night and some good material was found in the freshman class. Plans are being made for more uniforms, and if enough are present at the next tryout tonight, the best players of the hundred will be chosen for the first band, and the others used in the second string.
Mr. McCanales will meet both bands every week and all will appear in the big parade before the opening game with William Jewell. Define arrangements have not been made for the trip to Columbia for the Thanksgiving game, but the largest band in the history of the school will go with the team, and most of those who make the second squad will have a chance to make the trip with all expenses paid.
The tryout this evening in Fraser Hall starts at 8 o'clock.
Samuel Johnson, a freshman. College, is not able to attend classes as he result of ivy poisoning.
The last performance this season of the Lawrence airdome, on New Hampshire St., was held Saturday night. The chief feature of the evening was an amusing minstrel show and an impromptu performance, the latest popular songs were rendered to a large audience who roundly applauded the offerings.
Morning prayers, tomorrow,
Rev. N. S. Elderkin.

WHY THE OMISSION?
Laboring toward distant aims sets the mind in a higher key, and puts us at our best—Dr. Parkhurst.
WHY THE OMISSION?
Principles for the strengthening of school spirit were strongly advocated by Chancellor Strong in his address Friday morning and in the very same program in which he took part not one provision was made for the expression of that school spirit. Patriotism was encouraged by the selection of "America" School spirit was ignored. Where was "Crimson and the Blue?" Where was the place on the program for the cheerleader to appear? He had to be called up by a few enthusiastic students before the exercises began, illegally as it were.
Possibly the committee in charge of the exercises thought these things were not appropriate for a formal meeting. Do they think our school spirit is a kiddish friskiness that is to be tolerated on ordinary occasions but kept out of sight when the University puts on its company manners? Are these "Rock Chalks" and our school hymn hilarious nonsense, well enough at football games, but not quite proper for formal gatherings?
What better time could be chosen than this first big opening convocation for letting freshmen hear their first strong sweeping "Rock Chalk," and where could our University hymn better impress them with the respect we hold for our Alma Mater
But perhaps it was an oversight. Possibly the committee merely forgot to allow space on their program for these expressions of loyalty to K. U. If they did, a student or two on the committee would enable it to arrange programs which would represent a little more fairly the interests of the University. It will do no good to beg for school spirit if it is encouraged no more than it was by the order of services Friday morning.
GOOD TURNOUT
Coach Olcott has forty Varsity men out for practice. That is a good sign. It takes a large squad to generate pep such as K. U. ought to have. Missouri had a hundred men last year it is said. When a hundred men go after eleven places, competition is stronger than when forty men tryout. Every man who has any of the possibilities of a football man in him ought to be out on McCook every afternoon. It is his duty to K. U.
THAT QUESTION MARK AND DEMOCRACY
"The war puts a question mark after democracy," Chancellor Strong said in his opening address Friday. And he is right. Listen to Walter Lippmann in his "Preface to Politics."
"Creative statesmanship requires a culture to support it. It can neither be taught by rule nor produced out
of a vacuum. A community that clatters along with its rusky habits of thought unquestioned, making no distinction between instruments and idols, with a dull consumption of machine-made romantic fiction, no matter how well they are received, reliable press, will find itself faithfully mirrored in public affairs."
Or, as the Chancellor might say it, this is the question mark. Whether democracy can attain the efficiency that recent conditions exact will depend largely on the intelligence of public opinion. This intelligence will be leavened by college men and women to a large extent. They have had opportunity to study problems more thoroughly. Through preachers, lawyers, dramatists, novelists, editors, and public men usually college men and women, public opinion takes shape.
So the question mark is up to us. A million and a half people in Kansas are paying for the education of 3,000 here at K. U.
Our return for that is such contributions to the progress of public intelligence as we can make. Kansans pool their funds to educate a few of us expecting that we will diffuse it among them. It is the quality of this diffusion that will leave that question mark standing after democracy or knock it down and put a period there.
Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.—Proverbs 22:17.
KEEPING UP-TO-DATE MENTALLY
Classrooms and instructors are highly desirable for him who is in pursuit of knowledge, but they are by no means necessary. The books provide the furnish a wonderful opportunity for the one who is studiously inclined.
And to one who would keep abrease with the leading thought of the day, who would know what the intellectual leaders of the country are and saying, the reserve shevels offer a still more wonderful opportunity.
Here the noted men of America have gathered together the best of the literature bearing on their respected branches, nast and current.
In this day of highly-classified knowledge no one can know all about any one thing. The best one can expect to do is to get a few broad facts about the big majority of subjects. The best facts to learn are those the reserve shelves offer, since the instructors, realizing that six weeks is but a short time for study, have collected here the most desirable

AVERAGE AMERICANS ALMA MATER
American educators are beginning to wonder whether the standardization of high school and other preparatory education in this country has not been carried too far. It surely is carried too far if the high school courses are contrived more for convenience and convenience of the colleges than for millions of young American who never go beyond the high school.
Many even of our public high schools now pay more attention to the system of "points" which are the marks of a rigid standardization, than they do to the human, constructive, practical demands of the pupil's future life. The result of such excessive attention is to dwarf the pupil's education. In effect, such a system devolves the whole of the student's real education upon the college. It is a bad plan. The high school itself is the highest institution that the majority of American youth ever see. It is the real alma mater of the average "educated" America. It should perform its full duty as such—New York Mail
No fault on this score, of course, can be found with those private institutions which are admitted college preparation schools and nothing else. But the case is quite different with the public high schools which aim to take a full and effective part in the preparation of American youth for the duties of life and citizenship. With these institutions preparation for college is an incident of their work rather than the end and aim of it. If the student is enrolled in college or university, he should find his preparation solid, because the school is good and thorough. But if he does not go to college, his training should have been so well rounded and definitive that to a great extent it will take the place of a college training.

INDIANS MEET AT K. U. National Society Plans Annual Conference on University Campus This Month
A letter received today by Dr. Frank Strong, chancellor of the University of Kansas, from Arthur L. Parker, secretary-treasurer of the Society of American Indians, announces the meeting of the society in October 28 to October 3 with headquarters on the University campus.
Arrangements are being made for the use of a big room in one of the main buildings on the Hill, and several speakers from the University faculty will appear on the program during the week's conference.
Complete arrangements for speakers and meetings have not yet been announced, but several interesting features are planned. Registration and assignment of delegates and visitors to hotels and boarding places will be made in the morning of the opening day, September 28. Welcome committees will meet all trains with ambulances. In the afternoon the first executive session will be held and committees assigned. A public welcome will be given by the city and University officials in the evening and addresses will follow by prominent Indians.
Will Erect Memorlai
The September 29 session opens with the Annual Conference Sermon in the morning by Dr. O, C. Brown A special delegation then leaves for Kansas City to participate in the erection of a memorial of ex-Governor Walker, a Wyandotte Indian, the first governor of Kansas. The delegation will be assisted in the ceremony by the Kansas State Chapter of D. F. and P. The afternoon will be given over to the meeting of the committee on claims and legislation, and the conference on education will follow in the evening. At the latter meeting, Indian schools will be discussed and various phases of educational work among the red people threshed out, Emma D. Goulette is to be chairman of this meeting.
The most important meeting of the week is scheduled for the morning of September 30, when the annual discussion on "How Indians Themselves Can Remedy the Conditions of Their Race" Just how far Indians are responsible for their present conditions will be discussed and some attempt made at recommendations. Among those scheduled for addresses are Dr. F. A. Kenzie, K慈萍 Yellow Rose, Stephen Jones, John M. Oaklson and Rosa B. LaFlesche. Among the topics to be discussed in the afternoon are, the present progress of the Indian and his incentives and drawbacks. An effort will be made to discover the causes of his slow development to educational influences and find a way to remove the impediments to the improvement. The speakers on the platform for the discussion and debate are greasman Carter, William J. Kerphaw, Matthew Snifflin, the Rev Philip B. Gordon, Henry Standing Bear and the Rev. William Holmes. The Indian in legislation will come up for consideration that evening, together with the part he should have in his own affairs, the problem of letting him know what is going on about him, his loyalty to his country and his whole relation to the white man and to his own race, being especially emphasized. The discussion concerning American Indian Day and the Society Memorial will end the day's conference.
Sports at Haskell
Gaine E. Parker, Charles E. Darez, natt, B. Rise, Wise C保罗 Montesa and Thomas L. Sloan will open the program on October 1 by talking on the responsibility of the government to the Indian, what it does, and what it does not do, and why it fails to perform its duty. In the afternoon the delegates will make an inspection trip out to Haskell Institutes, and will take in field sports and a card tournament by the Indian on the evening the problem which is of highest importance to the Indian himself, that of the reservation, will be discussed; morals, tamperance, leasing, industry and home conditions being the topics of most interest.
Saturday will be given over to closing business, announcement of the society's platform, nomination and election of officers, and the message to Mohunkib. The following Sunday October 8 is the last day of the conference and will talk in the local churches or moral problems of the country as a whole, and those concerning the "dion in particular."
Between Gong Spasms
Prof. George Putnam, of the department of economics who was graduated from Christ College, Oxford, England, as a Rhodes scholar, and who is especially noted for his use of the megaphone and gong at the University of Michigan, in less than ten minutes as he watched the large enrollment at the University this week.
"In my college at Oxford, the normal enrollment was 300. I understand now that there are only about 25 in Christ college this year. All of the best men are in the army, many of them officers. Several have been mentioned in the dispatches for merit. One of my classmates won Victoria cross for valor—the highest honor a British soldier can win."
"And," he added sorrowfully, "several have been killed."
When asked where he spent his
vacation, Professor Putnam, an-
swers, "I went to New York."
A new piece of equipment that is noisily noticeable in the hands of Professor Putnam is a large old-fashioned dinner gong, which was used in the early ninetyes to call the students to chapel. It is now in use in the enrollment machinery in the Gymnasium. When any of the classes are closed, and Professor Putnam wants the attention of all the students, the old dinner gong gets it. The gong has been preserved in the alumni in Fraser Hall since its demise as the channel hell.
K. U. DISTRIBUTES NEW EDUCATIONAL SLIDES
A new set of slides has been provided during the summer for the Extension division work, and the slides are now being sent out to any towns in Kansas that want them. To facilitate the distribution of the maps, the state has been divided into two circuits of twenty-five towns each.
Some of the new slides, a few of which have been provided by members of the faculty are: A Day in the South, Wild Animals in Captivity, Home and School Gardening, Japan and Its Industries, Mining Industries, Norway Tour, Trees and Shrubs in the Community, Discovery and Settlement of America, The Philippines, A Gondola Ride in Venice, Here and There in The Emerald Isle, Beautiful Switzerland, Egypt and the Pyramids, Mexico, South America, Iron Mining and Transportation.
The slides are accompanied by typewritten lectures to be given as the slides are shown. The superintendent usually have charge of the pictures.

SCRIMMAGE WITH BRAVES
Olcott's Pupils to Meet Haskell in Practice Tomorrow Afternoon on McCook
The first scrimage of the 15 season with Bert Kennedy's Haskell Indians will take place at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon on McCook Field, according to an announcement this morning by Coach "Bach" Olcott.
Both teams are expected to derive great benefit from this practice. Although Haskell has the advantage of a week's start in training over the Varsity it's squad is by no means as strong as last year, and this as particularly true of the second string men. Consequently the Indians have had practically no opportunity to earn their first starting place in practice. With their opening game Saturday against the Kansas, Wesleyans of Salina, the Braves are buddy in need of the hard work out they will get from the K. U. Varsity.
Yesterday proved no day of rest for the Jayhawk gridiron squad. Leaving the Santa Fe station shortly after 2 o'clock Coach Olcott lead a squad of twenty-eight men for a fast three mile hike down the Wakarua Valley. So successful was the walk that the team finished, believing that it would be a regular Sunday afternoon feature the remainder of the season.
The first real scrimmage of the season was staged Saturday morning on the field north of McCook. Two teams were lined up, and both given a chance to penetrate the others defence. Only two plays were tried, a fake kick, and the forward pass. One player did not score, with some excellent passes and booted five successive goals from the twenty-five vard line.
Old men and new ones appear on McCook and with the instruction under Olecot which we are getting ready to see, our team cannot help feelings, enthused.
The report that Walter Wood, quarter, would not stay for the season was ended yesterday when Woody announced that he would stay all year. Although he did not intend to stay for the season when he first played with the bunch got the best of him and now he says that he cannot leave.
Coach McCarty's freshmen are getting in shape for a scrimmage with the regulars near the last of the week. Forty tyros have been out for practice and almost as many more will be next week. The coach will try to have a team that will show the Varsity some real football.
ANOTHER FOOTBALL STAR
MISSING AT PRACTICE
Milburn Stryker, last year's fullback, will not be back in school this semester. A letter was received from him Friday stating that he would not come to the University for work until the beginning of the second semester.
"Strike" worked all summer near his home in Fredonia, Kansas, on a drilling gang and has a good job that will last until the first of the year. He has therefore, decided to stick with the work until that time and then come for the last half of his sophomore work in mining engineering.
The big boy was a valuable man on the team last year and will be missed on this year's squad. He played in the games with William Jewell, College of Emporia, Drake, Oklahoma and Nebraska, but was out of the Missouri game on account of injuries to his shoulder.
Efforts are being made to get him to come back, but his last answer was a firm refusal. However, he expressed sincere regrets and may yet change his mind. All K. U. is honing.
Sport Pickups
The punting strength of the team was enhanced this morning when "Doc" Burch checked out a suit and declared his intention of making the Varsity. Burch made a great start, but the punting contest, and should prove a valuable assistant to Lindsay. He is particularly good at drop kicking.
Harold Delongy, captain of last year's championship baseball team, is spending a few days on the Hill. This morning "Dee" visited Manager Hamilton's office and got his K sweater for last year. He is one of the few men in recent years who have won three K's in baseball.
"Sleepy" Holt, the former Topeka high school star showed up well Saturday morning at half back. Holt skated above the average as a drop kicker.
MARY SCHULZ GARDENS

TRACK MEN PREPARE
The Missouri Valley Cross Country meet will probably be held in Lawrence this year but the definite plans have not been made yet. Coach Hamilton expects to send a team to the Western Conference meet in Chicago if the men show up well enough for the tournament. The normal Turkey Day rage over the streets of Kansas City will be the closing event of the season.
This is the first year that cross country has been a separate sport at K. U. and a meeting will be held tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 on McCook Field for all men who expect to tryout for the new sport. Rodkey, star distance man on the regular track squad, was elected captain of the cross country team last fall and with Herriott, Grady, Stateler and others working with him a championship team is predicted.

Y. M. C. A. Secretary May Not Return Until Peace is Restored
The Advisory Board of the Y. M. C. A. are trying to get Hal Coffman, who is at present acting secretary, to become regular secretary until the return of Hoffmann from the war zone. Mr. Coffman has a contract for work in Iowa and may not be able to remain.
More than sixty-five committeeemen attended the banquet given for them at Myers Hall Thursday night at which plans were made for the reception of Raymond Robins to come to the University on Sunday, September 26
Rev. N. S. Elderkin, pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church; Hugo Wedell, Lyle Anderson, H. H. Grafton and Hal Coffman made talks. Hugo Wedell spoke on "Raymond Robins" and Lyle Anderson outlined the plan of Bible study campaign for next week.
May Use West Side Hospital Permission to use the hospital on the west end of the campus for instruction in home architecture, sanitation, and decoration, was granted to the department of domestic science Bridley by the Board of Administration. It provided however that this new work must not interfere with any of the usual hospital work, and that the building is not to be used for cases of contagious disease.
In War Zone
Prof. E, F. E, Engel, of the department of German, made a talk in which he said that it was doubtful to Conrad Hoffmann would return to the University until peace had been restored in Europe.
After the banquet the 1915 "K" books were distributed to the students of the University by a walk around through the student district.
BEING A BIG SISTER IS NO CINCH—TRY IT AND SEE-
This sisterly aid is to continue during the year. The Big Sisters are going to take the younger members of their family to church, to Y. W. C. A. meetings, to chapel, conversation, and all other places where they work. And where upper classmen have long ceased to attend exorcate on rare occasions.
Freshman women at the University of Kansas are no longer the lonesome, homeschick children they used to be. The reason for this change is the fact that they have been adopted by their Big Sisters. Each freshman woman in the University has been provided with an addition to her family in the form of a senior, junior or sophomore. These upper classmans have an important task to perform. They are supposed to shed the light of their years of experience and learning on the dark paths of these yearlings. Already they have proven themselves to be of great assistance in registration and enrollment, pointing out to these innocent women the snap courses and easy professors.
The Big Sisters are to be an inspiration and help in spiritual, mental, and even physical living. Not only will the freshmen be developed thereby, but even the Big Sisters themselves will find that they have not a little to do in practicing the things they are expected to preach.
WANT KANSAS BUILDING
K. U. Women Insist----So the Board Will Undougtedly Come
Across
Much excitement has been created among the women of the University by the proposed plan to bring the Kansas building at the San Francisco exposition to the K. U. campus, where it would be used as women's dormitory, or else as a headquarters for all student activities. The plan as yet is in the embryo but the Board of Administration, which controls them, may take action on the matter if the project is practicable.
The Kansas Building at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition was erected at a cost of $1,500, and if sold for salvage, as is usually done with such buildings after the close of a world's fair, will bring little more than $1,500. Though the cost of transportation to Kansas would be immense, the venture might be made a profitable one, considering the fact that, if the building is torn down and sold for salvage, it will be almost a total loss to the state. The structure is a frame one, covered with stucco, and might be dismantled in sections, transported to Mount Ordend and again assembled and resurfaced.
The building is very large, colonial in style, with an immense reception hall on the ground floor. On the second floor are numerous smaller rooms, used at the Exposition by the Kansas representatives for offices. If the building were brought to the University, various student organizations could be assigned the rooms for headquarters. The reception hall below would be an ideal place for such university functions as class teas, receptions, and the entertainments given by the Dean of Women.
M. H. Heberling, who was formerly a student in the medical school, was on the Hill Wednesday.

Prospective Candidates Groom Themselves for Race Toward Class Offices
With campus life once more it is full swing and prospects bright for the best year in the history of K. U. interest is commencing to focus on the class elections, which will be held October 1-not quite ten days hence. Here and there over the campus and on the street corners students in groups of twos and threes may be seen in earnest but quiet conversation. Seniors, juniors, sophomores, and even freshmen are talking politics, politics, politics.
Even at this early date the spotlight of political prominence is singling out certain individuals in the different classes. In the senior class, C. A. Randolph is considered the most likely candidate for president. The juniors are discussing the name of Karl Jones for this office. The sofis are said to have formulated a regular ticket in a caucus held recently. The freshmen have taken no organized action an to the present.

MANY ENROLL IN THE CORRESPONDENCE CLASSES
"We expect to have a large enrollment in the correspondence department this year," said H. K. Ingham, who has charge of the department, this morning. "Indications point to a very successful year; especially if a few more plans develop."
Professor Ingham said that the department hopes to have a number of cities, both in Kansas and in neighboring states, each contributing from fifteen to thirty students, to be sent instructors. Classes will be conducted in practically the same way as in the University.

Even if a Cub Reporter Did Try to Attribute Barry's Peter Pan to Him
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 21, 1915.
A sophomore cub on the Daily Kansan is all to blame and he has shouldered it like a man but—that doesn't make the advisor of women feel any better for she knows that she didn't tell the sophomore cub re-reader that Robert Burns wrote Peter Pan. Mary always in yesterday's Kansan does read as if the author had told the reporter that such was the case.
Nobody in the Kansan office has noticed the error until Mrs. Brown called their attention to it this morning and the Kansan wants it distinctly understood that it isn't trying to steal James Barry's glory for the clever little masterpiece which will be a feature of the All-University Halloween party in the Scotch tableaux, on the evening of Oct. 30. So the Kansan hereby apologizes for the cub's error in attributing Peter Pan to Robert Burns and making it appear that Mrs. Brown was the authority from which he obtained his information. The cub admits that he couldn't think of any other Scotch author except Bobby Burns and so he gave Burns credit for the work.
K. U. HAS DISPLAYS AT DOUGLAS COUNTY FAIR
The department of entomology and the Schools of Pharmacy, Engineering and Medicine will have exhibits in the Woodland Pair at Woodland Park this week.
The department of entomology has on display a bee-hive with glass sides, shown so that spectators can see how the bees go through the process of making honey. Insects of all kinds, many of which are pests to humans and the grain rainsters, are also shown. Hungerford, assisted by the members of his class of advanced entomology, will be in charge of the display.
"What about this $2 hospital fee?" inquired a student at registration, and when he had been carefully ex- hanced delineated knockout to the long-suffering clerk:
The School of Engineering is exhibiting an extensive line of photographs of the buildings, laboratories, and shops of that department with them. These pictures have just been taken from the state fair at Topaka.
The display from the School of Pharmacy shows the uses of corn and its products. The corn products on exhibition are: corn starches, corn syrup, corn sugar, oil cake, edible or refined corn oil, gluten feed, rubber substitute, and dextrose. Paper made from corn stalks is also shown. Literature on the uses of these products will be given out.
Talbot Takes Municipal Bureau Professor Talbot, who had charge of the correspondence department and the municipal bureau at 117 Fraser last year, now has his office in the basement of Fraser, Room 17. He will have charge of the Municipal bureau. Prof. H. K. Ingham, formerly of the University of Wisconsin, has taken charge of the correspondence department, and has his office at 117 Fraser.
"Yes, but that won't do me any good. I am a Christian Scientist."
NTIAN SCIENTIST OBJECTS TO PAYING HOSPITAL FEE
Miss Zella Fronk, junior in the College last year, is teaching in the Iola public schools. She intends to finish her college course here next year.

Ralph Emerson, '17, School of Engineering, spent Friday and Saturday in Topeka, closing up business affairs preparatory to returning for this year's study at the University. Emerson owns two paper routes in Topeka, which he has leased.
O. J. Fiske, Acacia, who graduated from the College last year is superintendent of the schools of Spivey. Fiske was on the 1914 football team.

Still some poor down trodden student complains because there is nothing in the College for him to take. Wonder if he knows how many hours the University is offering in the College?
Here is some inside dope on the institution. There are n at present 1140 hours offered in the College alone, and if one stude were to take all the time to make him thirty-eight years, enough for nine and one-half" A. B. degrees.
WHY KICK BECAUSE 'THERE
ISN'T ANYTHING TO TAKE?
No, no one ever took all these hours.
The arbitrary mandate of the University fathers that one must swim before obtaining a degree, has not bothered the three hundred girls enrolled in Gladys Elliott's gymnasium classes. They have already learned the art, but have yet to demonstrate their newy acquired skill in the University tank.
Only $415 to Supply $1,585 Demand Made by Sixteen Students
Sixteen applications for financial assistance from the Student Loan Fund, varying in amount from $25 to $200 and aggregating $1585, have been received by Prof. F. E. Engel, chairman of the committee. The committee, of which Prof. Geo. J. Hood and Alberta L. Corbin are the other members, now has on hand a total of $415 with which to meet these applications. This money will be apportioned among the applicants at a meeting of the committee today. Owing to the big demands for loans the committee has been compelled to make a ruling that the money will be loaned only to juniors and seniors, and that no student will be given more than one half the petitions for. Later, when some of the old loans have been collected, each applicant will be allowed as much as the committee can spare. The applications are in the form of a memorandum note and 4 per cent interest is charged. Of the $415 that is to be loaned, $175 is a part of the amount left over from the old loan fund and the balance is the available portion of what has been collected by Registrar G. O. Foster toward the new $50,000 loan fund.
James A. Meade, of the Meade Cycle Co., of Chicago and formerly a student at the University of Kansas placed $1000 in the hands of the committee last spring and Professor Engel still has about $700 of this money but the committee intends to hold this in reserve.
"There are always those students who turn up during the middle or latter part of the school year," said Professor Engel, "who absolutely have to have some assistance in or around their year and we have decided that we be the best policy to hold this Mendez money in reserve for those students."
Meade made certain conditions when he gave the money to the University for this purpose that a candidate for a loan must fulfill. The money will be loaned only to juniors and seniors and must be expressly for the purpose of aid in getting a degree. The recipient of his money are also required to pay 4 per cent interest. Another of Meade'e requests was that the money should be loaned only to native Kansas.
BROKEN BONES CAN'T STOP ENGINEER FROM ENROLLING
Hugh A. Garvie, a sophomore engineer, has enrolled this semester in spite of a broken collar-bone and a severely strained and bruised thigh. Two weeks ago while taking three of his friends riding near Abilene in his new motor car he broke over a foot embankment where a bridge was washed away. The car turned completely over and landed in a foot of water. The strong top prevented Garvie and his companions from being killed. The door jarred open and they managed to crawl out. Although the car was almost demolished Garvie was the only one to receive any serious injuries.
WOMEN MAY RENT BATHING
SUITS UNDER NEW RULE
A new regulation has been made in the gymnasium this year, allowing women students to rent their bathing suit and use them, as has the custom before it.
This will make a much to be desired uniformity at a nominal expense, and will avoid discoloring the water by the black suits, which has been so troublesome heretofore.
Sam Johnson, freshman College, has been confined to his room at 1501 Rhode Island street since Friday with a severe case of ivy poisoning. He expects to be able to resume his work on the Hill by the first of next week.
Has Ivy Poisoning
Engineers Begin Work The members of the junior class in the School of Engineering are just now commencing their fall field work. The work will last until about December. In this connection the class will undertake to survey and lay out a railroad past the power plant. S. E. "Drummy" Campbell, of Mead, arrived on the Hill this morning. Drummy, who is a senior mechanical engineer, this year, acted as clerk in a bank in Meade during his vacation.
K, U. DEBATING SOCIETY
GETS AN EARLY START
Working upon the principle contained in the old adage, "the early bird catches the worm," the K. U. Debating Society has already started operations and the first meeting set for next Thursday evening at 8 o'clock for the purpose of arousing interest in its proposed activities. The program for the evening is to consist of some member of the faculty, readings, and music, followed by the all important refreshments.
Under the leadership of O. H. Burgo, a last year intercollegiate debater against Oklahoma, as president the society has most excellent prospects for a successful year, and extends an invitation to all who may be interested in the work of debating to turn out.
"THE CRUSH" TO DRAW MANY A Big Crowd is Expected at Annual Y.W.-Y.M.
Party
TALBOT RETURNS FROM
EASTERN CONFERENCE
While the complete program has not been announced, one thing that has been decided upon is a stunt by representatives of each school.
Mindful of the five hundred or more students who were present at the Y, M.-Y, W, party last spring, the committee in charge of this year's festivities, which is to occur Friday night, September 24, have made preparations to handle even a larger crowd in a successful way.
In anticipation of this large crowd the party will be called "The Crush" and with the plans that have been made it will be possible for everyone to meet and mingle at "The Crush."
An admission of ten cents will be charged and refreshments provided. This plan will be followed at the three other Y. M.-Y. W, parties which will be held on October 23, December 10, and March 3. The parties were so successful last year that the committee started work on the program for this year even before school closed last spring.
Mr. C. H. Talbot, secretary of the League of Kansas Municipalities and head of the Municipal Reference Bureau, has recently returned from an Eastern trip. He combined pleasure and business, and took in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and Dayton. The chief object of his trip was to attend the conference on Universities and Training for Public Service, which was held in Boston, August 24 to 26. Representatives of many colleges and universities were in attendance. On the program of the conference such men as Chancellor Samuel B. McCormick of the University of Pittsburg; Commissioner Snedden of the Mass. Department of Education; Chas. G. Cooley of Chicago; Professor Shepard of the University of Missouri; H. E. Miles, manufacturer and member of the Wisconsin Industrial Education Board; and Frederick W. Hamilton, member of the Massachusetts State Board of Education.
Mr. Tailot resumed his duties in his department immediately after his return.
M. W. Nigg, junior Engineer last year, has accepted a position with the Kansas Gas and Electric Co., and will be out of school the first semester. Nigg is the man who modeled the clay Jayhawker after Hank Maoyl's famous cartoon.
Erret G. Smith, of Delphos, Kansas, a senior in the College, arrived in Lawrence last night to attend the University. Smith has been trying his luck as salesman of aluminum carmine and has been so successful that he filling of his orders prevented his return to school on time.
Francis I. Martin, a junior in the College has returned to school, "Short" spent the summer in the wilds of Montana, and while there made an extensive collection of rocks and minerals which he will give to the department of geology.
MUSICAL STARS COMING
Don R. Harrison, a last year's sophomore in the School of Engineering is trying staying out of school this year. Don is working on a commissary car at Ritcher, Kans. He says that doing nothing is his hardest task; and that he longs to see K. U. again.
Dean Butler Announces Finest Concert Series Seen in Lawrence
Dean Butler said; "Professor Skilton, to whom is owing so much for his indefatigable efforts for good music, arranged last spring for a really magnificent course of concerts for the coming winter. This course comprises one of the world's greatest soprans, Mary Garden; one of the greatest living pianists, Harold Bauer; a noted recital baritone, Oscar Sengle; one of this country's greatest string quartets, the Zoellner String Quartet, and two symphony concerts by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, and a quartet of first class vocal soloists.
Dean Harold L. Butler of the School of Fine Arts. In an interview this morning with a Kansan reporter prophesied that K. U. and Lawrence would have this year the finest and greatest series of concerts ever offered to local music lovers.
Miss Garden and her concert company will open the season with a concert in Robinson Auditorium Wednesday evening, Oct. 20, and Mr. Bauer will come on Nov. 9. The other concerts will come in January, March, and April.
These concerts will of course be a wonderful thing artistically for Lawrence as they will present some of the most noted music compositions in a perfect manner. To make them a financial success we must have the hearty co-operation of every man and woman who wishes better and fine things for K. U. and for Lawrence. This series of concerts is one of a city of one hundred and fifty thousand people, and will not be equaled in importance by any other city in Kansas. I want the enthusiastic help of all who care for great and fine music: "And from what Lawrence has done in the past, I have no doubt whatever that we will be able to bring this magnificent series of concerts to a successful conclusion."
All the concerts will be held in Robinson Auditorium, and the rates for full course tickets will be placed within reach of all. A guarantee of $1000 will be asked for from prominent business men, and from faculty members. Further announcements will be out in a few days.
The beautifully fumed oak book cases on the south side of the library, which were given to the School of Engineering last alumni day by the friends of the late Dean Marvin, have been completely filled during the summer with 850 volumes from Mr. Marvin's own technical library. These are all valuable books on the different branches of work that were specialities of the late Dean. Probably the most valuable are the 85 bound volumes of the transactions of London Institutions and A. S. C. E. Important also are the bound volumes of the Engineering Magazine.
Jim Butin, the whistling genius of the University is back in school again after an extended tour of some of the western states this summer. Before school closed last spring Butin left his position to work under the direction of the Santa Fe railway. Later he appeared on chautauqua programs.
During the summer there was added to the Engineering library 40 volumes of French works on buildings of modern Rome. These books are known as Le Genie Civil or in English: The Civil Engineer? They are still held in Spooner's Library because of one defective volume but are soon to be put in their proper place. The architectural department came in for its share. Three of the new books cost $100.
CIVILS TO READ FRENCH
Forty Volumes in French Added to Engineering Library

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of one teacher, then more than printing the news by standing up and speaking, to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to understand, to satisfy the students of the University.

What makes life dreary is the want of motive. George Eliot
POLITICS AGAIN
A GOOD EXAMPLE
Now cometh your class politician with glad hand extended. He wears a smile reaching from ear to ear and his words are pleasant. Your studies interest him and he too would take them if it wasn't for something else that was required. Your ideas on weather, football prospects, woman's suffrage, preparedness are the same. And as he turns down another street, he hopes that you can give him your vote at the class election.
As an example of what ought to be more common on the campus, the north wall of Spooner Library might be cited. Virginia creeper has been run up between the windows and now students entering the campus on Oread Avenue pass not a bleak, ugly wall but one half-hidden with heavy foliage. Such a wall is productive of tradition. It has a touch of mellowness which breaks down the severity so prevalent on our campus and enriches the picture which we carry away of Mount Oread.
Training these creepers over other buildings on the campus is one way we can repair the atrocities which have been committed here in the name of architecture.
GETTING A START
It is a serious fact that the reputation a man makes and the standard he sets in the first six weeks of the first year usually serve as an index to his standing in the entire college course. Rumors have been rife that some of the professors in our Alma Mater do not even grade a student's papers nor listen to his recitals, but just go to the office and look up his record for the first six weeks, and give him the average they find there. Of course, that's rot, but the fact remains that if a student does well at first, he usually gets along well in the course, and if he does poorly, his grade on the course is low.
So let's "crack to it."
GOING DOWN TO McCOOK?
If time passes slowly these fine aftermoon, or if your lessons get tiresome and your eyes hurt and you feel stretchy, a walk over to McCook might do you good. Go down there and see Coach Olcott pushing a squad of huskies through snappy practice. See them spring and fall on the ball, that's the way they'll do when we go after the Cornhuskers or Missouri. Hear the dull plunk of the ball as Lindsey's toe sends it spinning through the air—he'll do that again when we meet Missouri. See the men line up in scrimmage and watch those new men. They keep their eye on the ball and then one of them darts out of the mass and plunges—and brings his man down. Such a tackle as that will bring us up with
a yell next November when some Cornhusker is making a dangerous run.
Then you want to know who this man is—he looks as though he might develop into a star. You never heard his name before. And there's another new man—he's a comer too. And so you go on asking questions of some faithful bug who already knows all the new men on the squad. You come to feel more at home after you can call the players by their nicknames. You go home for dinner and the food really tastes good. This is the first time you ever did laugh at that fellow's story. Then it's seven o'clock and you have lessons still waiting and you run upstairs and dig into them.
You don't mind working now after you have been down at McCook.
To every thing there is a season,
and a time to every purpose.—Ecclesiastes 3:1.
GREEK STAGE OF TODAY
While the modern Greek is anxious to make for himself a literature of which he may be proud, it is extremely difficult for him to choose which of his varied past experiences shall be his theme and what shall he have done with his dialects have not yet been welded into one strong, forceful tongue.
The Greek stage of today has also suffered from the isolation of the country, because of the lack of suggestion and criticism from outside. But it has also gained by this same isolation in that it must reshape what is allowed to its native, and for form to its own admirable old masters.
However, although the foreign view of life has not greatly influenced the Greek stage. Isken is known and admired, but chiefly for his teaching that there is such an abundance of material for drama in everyday life and among the common people, Kenedy, if they have influenced it at all, have done so through their wonderful imaginative powers.
Greece today has among her sons and daughters those gifted with great histrionic ability. They draw large audiences whenever they appear where the Greek language is spoken. There are equal opportunities to play Greek in successful ancient Greek plays would indeed be long. The favorite theme, the one most dear to the hearts of the people, harks back to the days of old.
Just at present the Greek stage suffers from the lowering of comedy into vaudeville. Some of the best known writers of Greek comedy have tried in vain to support the dignity of the stage, and they look with much regret upon the rise of pure vaudeville. The play interspersed with songs opened the way for vaudeville and since its advent the enthusiasm for it has increased. Almost equally popular at present however, is what in Greece is called the "Review," which consists mainly of a "great show of feet and much inartistic music"—a kind of "passing show."
Although the prospect at presmey may be gloomy, the Greek stare will no doubt in time come into its own. With her growing importance Greece will in time come to stand out with it will acquire a new dignity and pride which will cause her to return to what conforms with her best traditions in dramatic art.
The Smithsonian institution, at Washington, has got together a very interesting collection of ancient inventions. Among other objects belonging to the same category are thimbles 2,500 years old. They are of bronze, and their outer surfaces show the indentations for engaging the head of the needle. Indeed, these thimbles are much like modern ones, barring the fact that they have no tops to cover the end of the finger. For that matter, however, many thimbles of today are toppless.
Thimbles Not New
Hatpins Are Ancient Weapons
The women in those days had bronze bodkins, made just like those in use now, and for toilet purposes they employed small tweezers of a pattern that has not been altered in 2,000 years. To hold their hair in place, they had not hit upon the notion of bending a wire door that twisted for the purpose straight bronze pins, much exactly like modern pins, with big spherical ends. It is from the early type of hairpin, in truth, that the hatpin of today is derived. Mayhap the ancient Roman virogau, when aroused to rage, plucked an improvised dagger from her back hair and employed it vigorously.

THE COLLEGE KIDDER
"Do you still keep in training since you left college?"
Penred—Yeh, a peach. Knew the
came, too.
The college man is an intellectual silk-worm. About his私自 self, by a process of years, he has woven a thread of manner, of joke and jest, so long and deep, that it is seldom that his real friends penetrate into his heart, is anywhere but on his sleeve. And few would have it otherwise.
Of the characteristics of the college man today, the one which is perhaps the most distinctly marked is the ability and habit of "kidding," a practice redeemed to a great extent by the training which the college man receives in learning to give back as good as he receives. A man who has spent four years in an American institution of higher education is usually prepared for practical jobs of every known species, such as "kidding," clever, asinine, subtle or painfully obvious. He is about as easily ruffled by a jess as a hippopotamus is put to flight with an airgun.
breke
And point with tamper spike to heaven
Samuel Boger
But, growing out of such an attitude towards the men with whom he comes daily in contact, the college man has reached an extreme. So long have his daily conversations and chats at the dinner table or in his study been more "kidding matches" that in many cases he has lost his power to talk logically, consistently, upon a topic of any nature more than once. But the Varsity's chances against Penn. And, if perchance he has that power, he is afraid to use it, knowing well that the opening of any serious topic means that is the recipient of a choice and assorted collection of wif.
Patricia—Quite a girl you had at the game!
Patricia—Well, she ought to. She hasn't missed one in twenty years.— Cornell Widow.
Undoubtedly this results from one or two men, college simians whose capacity for "cleverness" is greater than that of the undergraduates with whom they come in contact, and who cannot allow an opportunity for the exercise* of this faculty to go by unheeded. They have a melancholy reward. Ever, their most serious remarks are to be taken as a joke, it will not hurt them, but equally the humor of the old circus conversation has its touch of pathos. "Why did Jones become a clown?" asks the tattooed man; "in college he was always the life of the party," answers the bearded woman.
Enter the House Baboon
Ex. football here—"Well, some
one I contradict my wife."-Misha
bal Rei Lilly
Picture a group of men in a fraternity or boarding house engaged in talking over a matter of any importance. The conversation is becoming interesting and logical. The men are intellectually on edge. Of a sudden a rustling sound is heard. The house baboon, scenting his opportunity, utters his racial noise and swings nimbly into the conversation. Immediately seriousness is at an end. The rest of the group, from force of habit join in with that species of comment that can only be described as "clever." The subject is forgotten.
Such a situation which tends towards the discouragement of any serious discussion among undergraduate is no small contributor to that intellectual sloveniness which educators declare to be perhaps the paramount problem in American universities. The average undergraduate reads what? His text-book on occasions, the "Saturday Evening Post" always, and some of the monthly magazines. The remainder of his reading course usually retails as $1.08 per volume.
No one would ask that the dinner meeting of students should resemble an undertaker's convention. But once in a while a serious thought outside of the classroom would not be amis; a little wit could be well exchanged for a bit of real intellect.—Cornell Sun.

HEINZMANN IS COMING
International Secretary of Y. M. C.A.Will Take Part in Robins Meetings
H. L., Heinzman, international secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and a graduate of K. U. in the class of '06 will arrive in Lawrence Saturday to take part in the Raymond Robins meetings, "Heinie" has been in Europe this summer with Con Hoffmann, secretary of the University Y. M., and seven other secretaries, working among the prison and recruiting camps of the warring nations.
John L. Childs, another international secretary of the Y. M. C. A., will come with Mr. Heinzmann to a few days in and near LawREN.
Next Sunday, September 26, is Raymond Robins day at K. U. The man for whose return hundreds of students signed petitions last spring will be here for one short day. Two meetings will be held in Robinson Gymnastics, one for men at 3 o'clock, and a joint meeting of the men and women of the University at 8 o'clock in the evening.
Mr. Robinis is devoting this year to work among the students of the United States. He is visiting most of the large colleges and universities of the country, lecturing on subjects of religion, economics and sociology.
Students who heard Raymond Robins last year will not soon forget his life story. The thrilling accounts of his experiences in Alaska during the gold rush, and of his work in the politically corrupt sections of Chicago, seem more like fiction than fact.
Mr. Bobins will go from K. U. to Baker University for a two days' religious campaign.

Chancellor Tells Ministers That Labor Among Students Deserves Commendation
Chancellor Frank Strong addressed the Ministerial Association at its luncheon yesterday noon, at which he was the guest of honor.
He spoke of his and the faculty's appreciation for the work of the different denominations among the students. He said, that while no state university could introduce into its curriculum dogmatic courses in religion, the authorities on the Hill were anxious to have a true religious spirit pervade the student body. He expressed the conviction that the universities were the safest places in the world to send young people.
The University of Kansas had its beginning in 1856, when work was started on the foundation of North College, which is shown in the accompanying illustration. The building was later abandoned. It was resumed in the summer of 1859, when funds were secured for its completion. Obligations could not be met and the building was about to be turned over to the city. Later the city of Lawrence offered an endowment of $15,000, forty acres of ground adjoining the city, for a campus to secure the University. However, the building was not completed until 1866. Manhattan and Leavenworth also wanted the state school. The Legislature of 1864 passed a law to organize the University. A charter of the University was drawn up, and the institution was founded on Mt. Oread in what is now called North College. The faculty was elected and the first session opened at North College, which was at the point of completion, on September 12, 1866. The enrollment of the first term was 26 women and 29 men.
After a joy ride around town, an out to Haskell, the ministers met at Myra Hall for their afternoon session. They discussed the possibilities for gospel team work in Douglas county, and the hope that they could obtain the assistance of the K. U students in manning the teams.
Plain Tales From the Hill
Several ministers are planning a series of entertainments, talent for which they hope to secure at the University. Dates will soon be made both for the gospel teams and the entertainments.
Miss Madeline Nachtman, who has been in Lawrence during rushing season, has returned to her home in Junction City.
George Sammons, who has been spending the week on the Hill, returned to his home in Sabetha today. He will be back next year for his degree.
Leonard Farris, who came to Lawrence last week with the intention of entering the University, left today for Wichita where he has been offered a position in the Traders' National bank.
Eber folly, a sophomore in the Collega, is confined at his home on ac count of illness.
Everest Alexander, of Alta Vista, who enrolled as a freshman in the Collage last week, left Saturday morning for K. S. A. C, where he will attend school this year. Dissatisfaction with his course was the reason he gave for leaving.
Miss Aleta Brownlee, who was a sophomore in the College last year, is attending the Salina Wesleyan, where her family has gone to live. Miss Brownlee plans to return to K. U. next fall.
Illustrations how K. U. men are continually making good in the world of business comes a letter from Herbert "Dutch" Hansen, '14, who is now holding down the job of engineer for the city water, light, power and street railway companies at Amarillo, Tex. Hansen says that in addition to himself, there are five University of Kansas graduates in responsible positions in engineering at Amarillo.

Leland Thompson, president of the Men's Student Council, returned to school today after completing an extensive tour of the United States. He spent several weeks in and around Niagara Falls, a few weeks in Mexico and the Caribbean, and a week in Oregon. The remainder of the summer he spent at his home in Marion.
On his trip to the west "Tommy" visited the universities of California, Washington, Oregon and Leland Stanford. He remains firmly of the view however, that none of them have anything to do with KU. He设备, equipment or location, and none of them, he says, equal Kansas for university spirit.
H. Haist, a graduate of the School of Pharmacy in 1909, was on the Hill a few days ago. Mr. Haist is a travelling salesman for the Norwich Pharmical Co., of New York, and is in charge of the Kansas City branch.
Harold Reed, junior Engineer, is back in school. Reed spent his summer in the oil district, ground Salt Creek, Wyoming. He said that the work wasn't so bad until the last week, when a flood inundated the pumping stations. Reed had to spend twenty-four hours cleaning up and was delayed in his home-coming for almost a week.

Prof. W. H. Twenhofel of the geology department gave out some interesting facts Friday morning to his 9:30 class in geology. He stated that dancing the tango on the sun, if the sun were cool enough for such diversions, would be next to impossible, because a human foot on that distant ball of fire would weigh twenty-five pounds. By way of contrast, however, he further said that on the moon's surface a tango artist would be able to move around with the grace and velocity of a mocking bird, gravity being the influencing factor in each case.
"Tomorrow, gentlemen," said the professor in a lecture on taking notes, "I will bring in my cards and show you my card system."

MANY SEE PRACTICE Students Show Interest in Work of Football Squad—Scrimimage With Indians
The appearance of one hundred spectators on McCook Field yesterday afternoon helped to put pep into Coach Oicott's forty-three pupils of the gridiron game. Such interest among the students with the favorable developments on the football field makes things look great.
A hard workout was given the men yesterday to the delight of the large crowd who watched the practice from the sidelines. Three teams were running signals for some time then the two best teams were matched for one hour's scrimmage. The men are getting into the work fast and already the signals are working like clock work.
The first scrimmage of the season with a team other than the red and blue will be held on McCook this afternoon when Kennedy's Haskell Indians meet the Jayhawkers. they will prove successful in playing game recorders and will be the best chance they have had to get a line on the fall dope.
Punters are not as plentiful as they might be on such a large squad but Lindsey and Strothers, both letter men of last year, are showing up to their old team. "Doe" Branch, a larger than the squad, is boooting the ball is a fine manner.
No scoring is to be done but the weak points of each team are to be worked out and remedied as far as possible. Kennedy has a strong aggregation of Braves and they have already had a week's more training than the K. U. squad.
SPORT PICKUPS
It is probable that McCarty's freshman squad will be called to scrimage the regulars on Wednesday if the practice with the Indians proves satisfactory today.
It locked like a real football game yesterday afternoon with Shorty Strother kicking off. Shorty did the feat for the so-called second squand and his initial boot of the season went forty yards into the hands of "Sleepy" Holt, who made a good return of nearly twenty-five yards.
The Varsity showed, its class by putting the ball over twice during the two hours' scrimmage. Strother one goal from the field, but kukri's chance after the Gillippe missed the second touchdown.
一
The first football bet recorded for the season was made by Alfred Hill, Topeka Capital correspondent, that K. U. would not defeat the Normals in the second game of the season here. Oct. 9th, by a ten point margin. The bet was made with another correspondent. Hill, admits he is a trifle prejudiced in the Normal's favor, having played quarterback for two years on the Emporia eleven.
Several old timers were out watching the scrimmage but they shook their heads when the forward pass was attempted. "K. U., has never been aole to have a forward pass team," was the inevitable comment after a pass had failed. Despite the unfavorable criticism, a good portion of the passes were successful.
"Where's a cheerleader?" asked a number of the two hundred students who lined the north side of Hamilton Field, to watch practice. With the first cool afternoon since school has started, all that was needed was a Rock Chalk to make things look natural.
The scrimmage tonight with Haskell will give the five hundred or more students who are expected out, a chance to use their lungs.
The Varsity squad this year would be in a rather bad way without the assistance of the Oklahoma men, Lindsay, star punter, and half back, and the two Gillispie brothers both of whom look good for a regular's position, all hail from the Sooner state.
To date no plans have been announced for the big parade at the opening game against William Jewell a week from Saturday. Last year, nearly a hundred automobiles formed behind the band and paraded through the down town streets to McCook Field. Then just to repay the crowd for the efforts the Varsity slaughtered the Jewells to the tune of 48-0.
Hugo Wedell, baseball star and umpire of many K. U. games last spring, managed a club from Smith Center this summer, called the Kansas Boosters. Dutch's team toured Kansas, Nebraska and some northern states during the summer. They are reported as winning most of their games and having a fine time on the side.
Midland College has a former K. U, football team star coaching athletics this year. Bill Weidelin, captain 1913 and freshman coach last spring accepted a position with the Atchison school this fall.
wedelein plans to arrange a few practices with Olcett's bunch this year if he can get permission to bring his men to Lawrence for such an event. He reports good prospects for the coming season.

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.

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 program of the opening session will be: reading by Professor Hilli, violin solo by Prof. H. V. Palmblad, talk by Prof. C. H. Talbot, and a vocal solo by Merle Smith. Rehearsal and dressing for awards a short business session will be held. All students interested in debating are invited.
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.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news, and to provide University faculty to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to have more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to face them; to help the students of the University.

FRESHMAN DISCIPLINE
Freshmen are beginning to be initiated into the rites of the infant clan. Worthy agitation has been started to prevent their making dates for football games.
Freshmen mean well enough in making dates for football games, but the trouble is that they have been feasted and courted for a week and it is only natural that they should begin to consider themselves competent to manage their own social affairs. This of course is an unwarranted assertion as any upperclassman will readily admit. Freshmen need someone to hold them down in the matter of making dates. If it were not for such activity as this anti-date propargana, freshmen would be making dates for the night-shirt parade. So the fatherly upper-classman, who never, never take a date to a football game, have to warn their freshmen to lead the simple life.
TO BEAT MISSOURI
For the benefit of those who are new among us let it be understood that this is the year that K. U. is going to make Missouri sick of football. Those who are returning need scarcely be reminded of that fact. Of course the exact score cannot be determined at this time but the thing that can be, in fact has been, determined is that the "Tiger" will spend the Thanksgiving recess nursing a twisted and knotted tail.
Of course there is a joker in every deck and therefore there is a provision to the above. If you want said defeat administered to the old gold and black get out and watch the practice.
That's the big thing now. Let the fellows out on the gridiron know that the rest of the school is out there watching them and pulling for them to do their best. No secret practice now. You Mr. Student are welcome to watch at any time. Do it!
Know every man out there and where he plays. Don't wait until the first game and then ask your neighbor. Be down there every afternoon so that the squad will know that the student body is behind them and will be there all the time until the final whistle ends the Missouri game and a victorious season.
"I don't like New York and I do like Kansas—that's why I came here," said Coach Olcott in an interview. That one statement has already caused the student body to want to do something for him.
"I never saw such a man as you are. I really believe you hate yourself."

STUDENT OPINION
THE NEWSPATHER'S EDITOR
HEARS K. U. CRITICIZED Editor Daily Kansas;
Is K. U. pepless? Is K. U. cold and unsociable, and lastly, is she controlled by a factional element?
That is what many people are saying and consequently scores from Kansas City and other towns just beyond the University of Missouri this year.
An Old Grad from Kansas City is on this week and brings this on until
You know we don't believe this, but it would be a good idea to keep in mind what others think of us, and we must do everything to be an undesirable one try and change it.
The Old Grad says he has heard K. U. "raked over the coals" for the past two or three years and he wants to know if we, here at school, are the real cause of it. He says the high school graduates have been told that what little student activities were not suppressed by the faculty, the other part is controlled by cliques and crooked political gangs.
Old Grad says these things hurt, of course, but he incidentally mentioned that M. U.'s idea of advertising also had much to do in pulling students. Most every year either the Missouri band or glee club, or both, visit the Kansas City schools and give a short concert which is always followed by a glowing tribute to the school.
"Just this kind of a program takes the eyes of the ordinary high school senior," concluded the Old Grad. "But please don't forget that false idea that is gradually growing up in Kansas City and other border cities about this grand old school. I believe it is up to the students themselves to see that this school is girded in the light that it should be." P E P
APPROVES HOSPITAL FEE Editor Daily Kansan:
The state Board of Administration will find the student body for it in its action on the new hospital plan. New students take the fee as a matter of course and old students must become accustomed to it. Those that have been half cared for in their rooms during sickness in previous years are willing to call the two dollars the minimum.
Two dollars is less than the average doctor's bill per student for the school year and at the same time insures against any higher bills and gives us the best medical attention. The fee came unexpectedly and of course canned a comment. Whether it was a legal question, but outside of the irritated home physicians I think it has found but little bitter criticism and has almost unanimously been received warmly by the students.
Satisfied.
Expert dental work at cost prices may be secured by students at the Infirmary beginning today. The plan provides that students having work done shall pay for materials used in the work and a flat time rate to cover salaries and overhead expenses. Appointments for work may be made at any time at the office of the Infirmary. Hours from 9 to 5 p.m. daily except Sunday—University Californian.

A freshman girl was told by a "helpful" upper-classman that she could be registered in a short time if she would just use her nerve and take advantage of every passing opportunity.
She joined the line in front of the clerk's desk yesterday, made four changes, which were, by the way, evidences that she was using her nerve, and came out an hour and a half later than a meek little fellow from the western part of the state who moved out of and into everybody's way. Every time the girl would see a new line in which one was laughing, she would put two and sixteen together and get forty-six. Then she would change; and every time she moved she lessened her chances of getting through quickly by about one hour.

400 SEE SCRIMMAGE Students Show Interest In Work of Coach Olcott's Pigskin Warriors
/
The report that football enthusiasm is dead at Kansas received a death blow yesterday afternoon when four hundred students appeared on McCook Field to watch their team line-up against a foreign foe. The Haskell Indians were scheduled to scrimage the Varsity yesterday but at the last moment they could not come and it was necessary to call in the freshman squad.
Coach Olcott's football warriors proved to be the undoing of the tyros' carefully made plans for the first scrimmage of the season. Three touchdowns and a field goal were scored by the regulars to the delight of the fans who followed the play so close that they had to scatter every time a long run or a pass was made. However, the freshmen made a good showing and they expect to take the Varsity to a "cleaning" later in the season.
season.
All styles of play were tried by the regulars and most every kind proved effective. Lindsey was there with his educated toe and succeeded in placing a drop kick over the pall from the thirty yard line. Groft and James made a pair of guards that will cause trouble for the Jayhawker opponents later in the sass. EI
At the quarterback position Ed. Todd, a novice in Varsity football, is showing such speed and headwork that is going to make Woody go some to hold his berth.
some of Kennedy's Haskell Indians are exposed to invade McCook this after noon and a harder scrimmage than yesterday's is looked for. The coaches hope to have a large crowd out today but they do not want the fans to stay so close on the field that they interfere with the players.
NEBRASKA LOSES TWO STARS
Unless Chamberlin and Abbot Return, Huskers Won't Be Dominating Factor
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 22—After five days of practice, with a stiff scrimmage bout on the final day, the football situation in the camp of the Nebraska Cornhuskers may be summed up as follows: If Halfback Chamberlain and Guard Abbott, two of Jumbo Stielhm's most dependable performers on last year's championship eleven, persist in remaining outside the fold, the 1915 Huskers will not be the dominating factor in Missouri Valley football, as they have been for the past several years. If Abbott and Chamberlain get into the moleskins, the Huskers should march straight ahead to another all-victorious season.
It is, perhaps, a bit out of the or
binary when the presence or absence
of two gridiron warriors could make
or break a football eleven, yet
Chamberlain and Abbott are so essen-
tial to the Cornhusker, as assuis
that all rules of the game, as applied
to the gridiron game, have been an-
nulled by Nebraska adherents as a
result of their worries over the abs-
ence of these two stars.
Alumni pressure is being brought to bear on Chamberlain and Abbott, both of whom are at home on the farm instead of registering for classes and getting into football duds. The present week is expected to solve the question as to whether these two stars are to be tricked to the farm or return to Huskers. In even more than the average Nebraska siblings will stand ready to predict another unbroken string of Cornhusker victories.
THE KANSAN CUB WASN'T QUITE AS BAD AS THIS
Mrs. Eustace Brown, advisor of women, is hot after the trail of a Kansan reporter who quoted her as saying that part of the Halloween party entertainment would be a dramatization of "Robert Burn's poem, 'Peter Pan.'"
Which reminds us of the old minstrel show gag about Toledo, Tennessee:
"So you live in Tennessee, do you?" runs the patter.
"What part?"
"Toledo."
"Why niggh., Toledo is in_Miss

"When did they put it over there?"
"I always has been there."

KANSAS ENGINEER TO STAY
Dean Walker's Men Vote to Make Their Publication an Annual
Affair
That the Kansas Engineer becomes a permanent and annual publication of the School of Engineering was decided at the business meeting of the various engineering societies yesterday. The magazine will be published sometime in April and will be larger and more complete than heretofore.

The editorial board which will edit the magazine was elected last spring and will have entire charge of the publication with the assistance of the faculty advisory board, of which Dean P. F. Walker is chairman. H. W. Crawford, sanitary engineer, is editor-in-chief; A. H. Wieters, civil engineer; assistant Editor; Chas. Hagbushi, mechanical engineering business manager; L. Witters, civil engineer, assistant business manager, and Ed. Tanner, architectural engineer, circulation manager.

Last year's Kansas Engineer con sisted for the most part of technical articles by members of the K. U faculty and students although several of the leading articles were contributed by prominent engineers not connected with the University.

The idea of a real publication for the School of Engineering originated two years ago when a Governing Board of the Associated Engineers' Societies was created. This board was composed of two representatives from each of the six departments in the School of Engineering. Plans failed that year but were successfully worked out the following year when the first number of the Kansas Engineer appeared.
The magazine consists of one hundred and twenty-five pages, including advertising. Nine hundred copies were printed, last year which were sold to the students at thirty-five cents each.
SPORT PICKUPS
The sophomore gym classes under Lorenz appeared on the field in football suits adding considerably to the large number of men already out for the gridiron sport.
McCarty's 180 pound backfield was not able to tear up the regulars as had been claimed yet they succeeded in pushing the pigskin over for one touchdown. The tyros are showing up well and a little more experience will enable them to hold Olcott's squad in the pinches.
A report has been circulating over the bill that "Red" Craig, baseball regular, will not be able to play this year on account of an injury received near the close of the season last spring. Although the league serious about Craig thinks that it should stand the Craig of baseball but not of football.
Bill Gray, halfback on Wheaton's squad last year, was in Lawrence Sunday but does not intend to go to school. He has a position in Chautauqua and will stay with it. Kansas loses a fast football player in Gray for his work last year was far above the average. He has some eligibility left in the University but rumor it that he will never return because that mysterious little fellow—Cupid—has strings on him.
Crisis's knee was dislocated while "tough-housing" one week before the baseball season closed last year and he was not able to finish the season. Since then he has visited expert bonestetters who have worked on the knee and say that it will be as good as ever unless too strenuous exercise is undertaken before it can stand the strain.
Word is received from "Stuff" Dunnite that he is going to have "some" football and basketball teams this year at Barnard, Kansas. He has a squad of last year's men in football which he says are big enough to clean the state. Prospects are good for a fairly good track team along with the other sports.
Cross Country Aspirants Gather and Prepare to Get Into Action
NEW TEAM ORGANIZES
A good start was given the new Jayhawker sport, cross country running, yesterday afternoon when thirty tracksters met on McCook Field to make plans for the coming season. Three times as many are expected out before the end of the week and some big times are in store for the men that make the team.
The cross country team is to be directed this year by "Pat" Patterson, 1913 track captain. He will be out every afternoon with his men and expects to work harder than any one. Rodkey will captain the squad and is expected to live up to his past reputation. Last year he won every cross country meet which he entered and broke the Missouri Valley record at Ames.
Plenty of good material is on hand and with the veterans and sixty or more new men who are expected to answer the call a good team is assured. Credit in gym is given to those men, either freshmen sophomores, who devote the necessary time to running. If the sport requires of sufficient importance, members will be given to the members of the squad.
Short talks were made at the meeting by Manager Hamilton, Coach Patterson and Captain Rodkey, urging the men to work hard on the distance running.
"I hope to see almost a hundred men out for cross country this fall," said Manager Hamilton. "It is the best training to be found for any kind of track work and if anyone is contemplating taking track in the spring I would advise them to take this opportunity to get in shape."

Conch Patterson is inclined toward revenge on Ames who has a habit of winning the annual Missouri Valley meet. "I feel that with the material we have on hand that we can easily clean up the Valley this year," said "Pat" in talking to the men.

Anyone wishing to tryout for cross country should report to the Manager's office in the gym as soon as possible for actual work starts at once.

TO BRIGHTEN UP CAMPUS
Rubbish Should be Removed and Flowers Planted According to Goldsmith
To plan a “Campus Day” on which all K. U. men could turn out in old clothes with spades, hoes and shovels to beautify the campus by planting ivy or woodbine on their respective school buildings, and cleaning it off. Students are offered by Pref. Goldwin Goldsmith of the School of Engineering. The University women could do their part by acting as the commissary.
"There are many ways in which the beautification of the campus can be brought about," says Professor Goldsmith. "In the first place students must quit throwing tobacco cans or candy sacks on the campus and the streets which lead up to the University entrance, which often contains campus in the light of his own property and take a little responsibility for its looks upon himself, this dirty and untidy appearance could be done away with."
Campus Not a Dumping Ground
Campus Not a Dumping Ground Professor Goldsmith calls attention to the impression the visitor receives upon entering the campus by the Chemistry Building. This is a regular dumping ground for barrels and boxes from the Chemistry department according to Professor Goldsmith's prime of Fashion Shops where from the car one sees old piped stack up on the ground outside the building instead of under cover as they should be.
"This is the preliminary step," says the architect, "after which a day should be set aside for beautification of the whole campus. On this day the street on the north side of the Administration Building could be leveled down to correspond with the roadway on the south side. Trees could then be planted along this road to balance with the trees already planted on the south side. If some appropriate station be found, to place at the end of the drive, a vista could be made of this formerly unleveled street, which would thus greatly add to the beauty of the west end of the campus.
Plant Some Trees
"By planting various flowers around the buildings on this day and vines like ivy and woodbine, the individual buildings could be made to look a great deal healthier." If your work with the different colleges or departments the beautification could be worked out very well.
WILL BEAUTIFY THE CAMPUS
The Campus Committee of the Men's Student Council of which C. A. Poland is chairman has outlined a campaign for campus improvement this year. The work is to be carried with the aid and advice of the faculty committee on buildings and grounds, and of such student organizations as may be enlisted in the work.
Committee of Student Council, With Faculty, Will Seek Improvements
The committee plans to plant trees and shrubs, provide trash cans at convenient places on the campus to take care of waste paper and other refuse that now litters the campus. The campus is also managed by Lawrence Street Railway company in providing a shelter near the gymnasium, for street car passengers.
"This is a big undertaking," said Mr. Poland in speaking of the work today. "The only way we can accomplish anything is by every student in the University of Kansas taking and working for a better looking campus. As soon as it is decided definitely, what will be attempted along this line this year the students will be given an opportunity to demonstrate whether they would like an improved campus."
Is variety the spice of life? If not, we challenge anyone to beat the spice of this; recently it was discovered at a boarding club table, where five students were seated that in the group were one freshman, two sophomores, one junior, one senior, and one graduate student.
Ernest Westling, unable to stand the grind at Bethany, has decided to try his luck on the Hill.
GAMMA PHI BETA WILL
INSTALL CHAPTER HERE
Gamma Phi Beta, a senior sorority, will install a chapter at K. U., sometime within the next month. The list of the charter members of the organization is given out in the newsletter when he definite date for the installation is set.
Gamma Phi Beta has chapters in some twenty of the largest schools in the country, being founded in 1874 at Syracuse, N. Y. It has been very conservative in its policy of expansion, and as a consequence it claims the honor of being the only sorority without a single dead夹子. It has trained among the best, and includes among its members a number of well known social workers and writers. President Wilson's daughters are members.
THIRD TIME WAS CHARM
Rhodes Scholarship Papers Arrive After Two Sets Sink With Ships
Two sets of time tables for the Rhodes Scholarship examinations have been lost in ships sunk by German submarines, and it was only by sending out a third set that the Delegacy in charge finally succeeded in getting the papers to this country. The first set, mailed in England in August, went down with the Arabic, according to information from the post office department. Duplicates posted in Oxford on September 1 appear to have been lost in the Hesperian. The third set, mailed in England on September 9, reached the University this morning, and were posted at once by Minnie S. Moodie, secretary to the Chancellor.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 27, 1915.
The questions for the examinations, dispatched some time previous to the mailing of the first tables, reached the University two weeks ago, and have been safely tucked in the safe in the registrar's office since that time. Without the time schedule the campus was unable to reach the University authorities would have been at a complete loss as to when to proceed.
The schedule of examinations is as follows: Tuesday, October 5: Translation from Latin into English, Latin prose, arithmetic; Wednesday, October 6: Translation from Greek into English, grammar, and algebra or geometry.
But two inquiries in regard to the examinations have been received thus far, and it is not known yet how many students will take them. No applications have been filed with Miss Moodie. Students wishing any information about the scholarships should her at once in the Chancellor's office.
McKEEVER WILL TALK
ABOUT CHILD WILFARE
Students who have changed their addresses, or who were unable to give their telephone numbers at the time of registration are requested to report at the registrar's office at once, in order that revisions may be made in the copy for the Student Directory to be issued soon.
Prof. W. A. McKeever of the child welfare department, left Friday night for an extended tour of the northwest, where he will lecture in Portland, Seattle, and other cities before universities and normal schools.
The following withdrawals from the College were announced by Dean Olin Templin this mornir. Lucile Pennkamp, of Kansas City, Kas.; James W. Arnold, of Pratt; and Berice Day, of Alta Vista. All three were freshmen.
IF YOU CHANGE ADDRESS
TELL THE REGISTRAR
Reports should be made at the "north office" in Fraser Hall; strictly speaking, at the window in Room 111 under the big "Reg. registration" sign.
The lectures will be in the interest of the child welfare movement, and at Seattle a four day institute will be held under the auspices of an organization engaged in the work there. It is noteworthy that Professor McKeever makes the trip. He will be gone about three weeks.
Prof. C. H, Talbot, who has charge of the Municipal bureau, was in Hutchinson yesterday making final arrangements for the meeting of the League- of Kansas Municipalities which will be held there on October 13, 14, and 15.
Student Council Plans for Bi University Parties in the Gymnasium
"TWO-BIT" DANCES NEXT STREET CARS IN PARADE
bOwee qdar zlh a CMFW CM CMI
The first "two-bit" dance in the history of the University will be staged in Robinson Gymnasium in the near future, according to a statement made this morning by Ed. Tanner, chairman of the social committee of the Student Council. Eric Oweney and Swede Rasmussen will be well-advertised, and every effort will be made by the Council members to get the whole school out.
"Two-bite dances have been tried at Leland Stanford and at the University of California," says Tanner, "and have proved successful, in both schools. I see no reason why they should not get away here. We'll give our first one in the Gym, thus keeping the expenses at the lowest possible amount—no rent to pay, you know, but just justitor service. If a fair crowd turns out, the success of the venture will be assured.
"There has been so much trouble here over dances. The admission has always been high, and some of the affairs have not been properly conducted, so I feel there is a great possibility in the plan of 'two-bit' dances, officially sanctioned, and attended by the majority of the student body. I hope to announce the date of the first party soon."
The Aspirants for Various Class Officers are Working Hard for Election
BEEN BUTTON-HOLED YET?
With the time limit set for the filing of candidates' petitions less than twenty-four hours away, political activity on the campus is developing rapidly. Tomorrow at noon the axes will be removed and no new petitions will be received.
Although no new tickets have appeared since Friday, class politicians have not been idle. Frequent party conferences, held at all times of the day and night, have resulted in a most efficient system of recruitment, which is being made to reach every member of the three upper classes.
Seniors are divided into two factions, one of which is supporting C. A. Randolph, and the other Hank Shinn. Juniors are split on Jones and Fitzgerald. Sophomores are likewise between two fires.
Members of the Shinn party this morning put out a set of posters, advertising the candidates on their ticket.
Neal Ireland, Chauncey Hunter, and Hylas Smith are the men appointed to stage Friday's election. Their chief duty will be to chase down town and borrow some election booths from the city authorities.
Only the freshmen have thus far failed to develop intense party spirit, Jimmy Lay being the only candidate for presidency of the freshman class.
Radical changes in the election requirements in the School of Engineering, and appointment of the committee to take charge of Friday's election were the two things accomplished at the special meeting of the Student Council Saturday morning in Fraser Hall.
Student Council Lowers Require ments for Engineers and Names Committee
SO MARVINITES MAY VOTE
Appointment of the election judges,
and drawings for positions on the official ballot will be made at the meeting of the Council Tuesday night.
Hereafter, the election requirements for Engineers will be as follows: sophomores, 25 hours; juniors, 60 hours; and seniors, 95 hours.
"The change was made necessary," says Howard Adams, secretary of the Council, "because of the fact that since the rules were first made, the courses in the School of Engineering have been changed, with the consequent result that it was next to impossible for any Engineer to have enough credit to vote with his class. The new requirements are more reasonable in every particular, and will no doubt meet with favor."
No Excuse for Lazy Students t Stay Away From Grand Football Opening
"The K. U. band, the Varsity, freshman teams and the William Jewell eleven will all ride in the big opening day parade Saturday," announced W. O. Hampton, manager of athletics this morning. Unlike last year, however, the teams will ride in the parade with a number of motor cars and giving more room for the student machines.
Because of the large number of students who object to walking in the parade and are unable to get motor car accommodations, Manager Hamilton is making arrangements to have half a dozen extra street cars in which these students can ride, pay in advance for their meals and will give every one in school a chance to participate in the opening day festivities.
No word as to whether Governor Arthur Capper will be able to attend the game has been received but Mr. Hamilton is hoping that the state's chief executive will be able to come to Lawrence that day. There will be a number of visiting town newspapers, including many visiting newspaper men.
Finest Gridiron in Valley
From the small number of student enterprise tickets being sold it is evident that many students are not aware that these season tickets will not be sold at McCook Field the day of the game. The only tickets that will be on sale at the gates will be the usual general admission and recurrent tickets. If I had to purchase cents, No refund will be given on these tickets on a subsequent purchase of the student enterprise tickets.
K. U, students will see their football eleven in action Saturday on what both Manager Hamilton and Coach Olcott agree is the finest gridiron in the Missouri Valley. By having the daily scrimmage on Hamilton, the team has been kept unused until now it has is practically perfect condition.
LOCKWOOD WINS PRIZE
IN K, C. POSTER CONTEST
Ward Lockwood, a student of the University two years ago, who is now conducting an art studio in Kansas City, has been declared the winner in the Kansas City fashion show poster contest, and the poster of his design is being used as the officiating artist. Lockwood was awarded the $100 prize in competition with seventy-five other Missouri Valley artists.
Definite steps will be taken in the hospital fee controversy Tuesday evening at a meeting of the committee composed of Dr. John Sundwall chairman, Dr. James Naismith and Dr. Hillary Dr. Roberts for direction for furnishing and equipping the hospital at 1300 Louisiana will be discussed at the meeting.
While in school Lockwock was art editor of the 1914 Annual, and was also known for his football posters, used by the department of athletics in advertising the big games on McCarran. Lockwock remained in school after his graduation, of the class of 1916. He is a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity.
It will probably be decided to tomorrow evening whether the University doctors are to take the state medical examinations, as some of the doctors in Lawrence and over the state are insisting they must do.
DOCTORS WILL DISCUSS UNIVERSITY INFIRMARY
IF YOU'VE MOVED, TELL
THE REGISTRAR ABOUT IT
"Changes of address and telephone numbers should be reported to the registrar's office at once if they are to be printed in the student directory," says Registrar George O. Foster. Students who had not yet located, or who did not know their telephone numbers at the time of registration are urged to report at once. The young lady at the "Registration" window in the north office will take your notice.

CROTHERS WILL LECTURE ON "A LITERARY CLINIC"
Samuel McCord Crothers, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, will deliver his lecture, "A Literary Clinic," in Fraser Hall hall at 4 o'clock Wednesday, Oct. 6. All students of the University are invited to attend. The classes will include the articles of the chapel committee, and admission, as usual, is free.
Mr. Crothers is the pastor of the First Unitarian church in Cambridge, and comes to Lawrence on October 4 to deliver a series of lectures at the Unitarian church here. He will talk about the history of Sunday morning, October 10, at the regular church hour. The subjects of his lectures have not been announced.
Reverend Crothers is the author of numerous essays, and of two longer works: "The Gentle Reader," and "A Brief History." He also an author should make his talk Wednesday particularly interesting to students in the English department.
STATE SCHOOLS PROSPER
Report of Board of Administration Shows Increase of 3525 in Two Years
Three thousand, five hundred and twenty-four more students were attending school states at the end of the spring term in 1915 than at the same time two years ago, according to the report by the Board of Educational Administration to Governor Capper.
The attendance at the University increased from 2,512 in 1913 to 2,802 in 1915, at the Agricultural College from 2,928 in 1913 to 3,291 in 1915, at the State Normal School at Emporia from 2,767 in 1913 to 3,217 in 1915, at the State Manual Training Normal at Pittsburgh from 1,416 in 1915 to 2,108 in 1915, at the Ft. Hays State Normal at Hays from 771 in 1913 to 1,854 in 1915, at the School in 1913 to 241 in 1915, at the School for the Blind at Kansas City from 83 in 1913 to 97 in 1915, and at the School of Mines and Metalurgery at Weir from 26 in 1913 to 40 in 1915.
The total attendance for all the schools under control of the state in 1913 was 10,735 and in 1918 was 14.1,625. In 1923 the students for the two years of 3,625 students.
THESPIANS TO TRY OUT
Prospect of Keen Competition for "Witching Hour"
Cast
The dates for additional tryouts for "The Witching Hour," which is to be presented by the University Dramatic Club, are expected to be announced soon. Those who aspire to be on the cast will get down to work. While the cast has not been definitely picked at present, several tryouts were held last spring, and they made the matter clear. This year's play, it is expected, will be produced at an earlier date than was that of last year.
"We look for some keen competition for places on the cast," said Prof. H. T. Hill of the department of public speaking this afternoon. The reorganization of the Club last year has put new life into it and more enthusiasm over the year's prospects than is usually the case.
TYPHOID VACCINATION
WILL BEGIN TOMORROW
Vaccination for typhoid, which will begin this week, will be conducted in the office of Dr. Alice Goetz at the Gymnasium on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Men will be cared for on Tuesdays and the men on Thursdays.
This work will be transferred to the new hospital as soon as the furniture and other equipment can be installed.

Returning to re-tell the story of the Master and His love and the part He would play in the life of every college man if only given a chance, the Chicago settlement-worker looked out into the faces of a thousand University men yesterday afternoon in Robinson Gymnasium.
Although conservative in thought, college men seem to have a longing to hear Robins and the almost-miraculous stories of his own life. For this reason, he was invited back to K. U. to give the right tone to the spiritual life of the school on the initial lap of the year.
Wherever Raymond Robins is once, there is always a call for him again. He was here with many others of high reputation during the Mott meetings last year and was invited this fall because the men and women were sure to turn out to hear him. He was scheduled for three meetings yesterday, but Jack Childs and H. L. Heinmann, his linesmen, were sent to talk to the committee-men in the morning.
At three in the afternoon, Robins dealt his smash- out blow to the hearts of the men of the university. He gave it to the men who wanted. He gave it to them, and in big doses, too.
The life-story of Raymond Robins would fill a good sized volume. Young fellows would break dates to read of the wonderful fight for the "Get-Rich Quick Wallingford" result and the work of the man now.
Robins was born in the South. After a few years in a law school, he started to work at the profession in San Francisco. Catching the Alaska gold fever he went north. While there, he gained a something for which he had been looking since the day of his graduation. That "something" was love; a love for his fellow-men that made it impossible for him to stay where he was. He knew he had a message to send, and where could he share the biggest joy of his life with those with whom he was associated. "I don't preach," he says, in speaking of his work. "I just talk to the men."
Entering Chicago, he bucked into the political fight against the bosses. It took work, hard work, day and night but the fight was won and the cause of the trolley strikers. Times he lost, other times he won.
College men heard Robins talk, thought what it would have meant to them to have heard a story like that years ago, and the rest was easy. He took a lecture tour of American universities and has been in the work ever since.
It was about his life, how he had worked and with what results, that Robins talked yesterday. From the beginning of his talk till the end, those men students sat in the big auditorium of the gym, anxiously for the complete of one life-period and the opening of the next.
Last night he talked to both men and women. Although along different lines, the speech was interesting and commanded attention. This morning, Robins and Childs left for Baldwin, where they will conduct a two-day's campaign among the students of Baker University. The man have eighty-five universities and colleges on their schedule this winter.

AN ADVENTURE
"The adventure of this time is the adventure of democracy," said Raymond Robins last night. Democracy is an adventure. It is by no means a settled, perfected mechanism. Whether we could go through a war and keep our democracy is a question which is causing grave doubts among political scientists. Whether we can keep principles of popular government and get the efficiency of German bureaucracy is a question. We are trying to answer it in the affirmative, but we have hardly started toward an answer. We are venturing out into new country.
This is a new thing, this industrial democracy. The conditions have rushed on us in the last half-century and found us nibbling along with pastoral calmness. We are living under a condition made when free land was abundant. But free land is gone now. Men can not stake off a claim any longer. They work in factories or starve. But we still munch on our own pasture. Those who have none can starve or else work twelve hours a day to buy bread.
And now the war breaks and we see Russia with its unnumbered hordes retreat because industry is not organized well enough to keep the army supplied with ammunition. We see England begging men to enlist and we see her set up a coalition cabinet in an attempt to stop dangerous internal strife. And the same things would likely happen to us if we were drawn into war without warning.
This doesn't mean that democracy has failled. It means that we have not solved the whole problem yet. It means that we have new situations to meet and that they must be met frankly and seriously. It means just what Mr. Robins said, that democracy is an adventure, a journey into an unexplored country. We are the pioneers.
WHAT ABOUT IT?
What are you going to do about getting that student ticket? Are you going to put off buying it from day to day and then find yourself without one Saturday or are you going to get it now?
SORORITY RUSHING—HOW?
SORORITY RUSHING—HOW?
Ten days of dinners, teas, and dances! That sounds fine to most of the girls when they first hear of it, but before the ten days are past, they decide that it is too much of a good thing. Of all the ways to open a collegiate career, nothing could be less conducive to work and serious purpose than the present system of sorority rushing.
Two remedies present themselves. The rushing season can be shortened, or it can be lengthened.
If the women should pledge on the
second or third day of the semester, as the men do, the round of entertainments and distractions would be done away with at once. Many say that this could not be done, because the sororities would not have an opportunity to become well acquainted with the rushes. Most of these freshmen girls however come with the recommendation of active or alumni sorority members in their home towns, and their social standing in their own communities is known. Again, the rushing season could be lengthened to two months, or even to a semester. The Women's Pan-Hellenic could place a limitation on the number and time of entertainments to be given in this period, taking care not to crowd any one week with parties, and arranging a schedule such that the work of the classrooms would not be interfered with, nor the girls subjected to the strain of a concentrated period of rushing. Is not either of these systems an improvement over existing condi-
WATCH KANSAS?
Forty men are out for cross-country. That shows spirit in athletics this year that we have never had before. Everyone is entering all sports with like vim, so look out for Kansas this year.
Now that the sororities have pledged we can keep tab on the Germans again.
That sophomore "Stering 7-point" ticket will probably have to compete with a Spearmint or a Yucatan ballot.
or maybe the suffragettes will put out a Kis-Me line-up.
Well, some folks won't need any special costumes to attend the Halloween party as pumpkin heads.
There may not be enough actual illess to warrant a hospital fee, but it makes a lot of pocket-books look sick.
STUDENT OPINION
WANTS ANOTHER CLOCK
Editors: Dr. Kelly Kenney
What's the matter with having a clock in the history room of the library? Bookworms not possessing a watch do often become lost to time, space, and friends, while those who "possess" one are too often interrupted by questioners for the time. On windy days it is impossible to hear the whistle in this quiet retreat. One engagement was recently broken through ignorance of the time, and if a clock is not soon put up many more engagements may meet the same fate;
A. Sufferer.
Can't Flirt Through These Cloth windows are the latest school room device. They admit fresh air, give a diffused, soft light, keep the room normally humid and save the cost of ventilating machines. The new windows are said by a writer in School and Society to provide all the benefits of open air schools without their inconveniences.
Students who are musically inclined and who didn't make the band ought to form clubs among themselves for the promotion of good fellowship and for musical enjoyment. Our fair colleagues would doubtless be willing to cooperate with us, and as time went on a series of serendes or musicianies with refreshments at the close would greatly add to the pleasure of student life and also help to break the monotony of the long winter evenings. Let's be musical?

And thy existence and its Palmer, 'Ol'!
News item: "——fighting in the trenches when he contracted the wound." That reminds one of the time he "took down" with a broken nose.
GETTING INTO IT
existence find its perfect bliss
—Gertrude O. Palmer, '18.
Life is a queer procession of ups and downs. From being "the baby," the pet of the family, one enters the "pansy class" or the "daisy class," as the case may be, of the first grade. There he learns that whispering may be a sin, and he has his first conflict with mathematics. After an interminable journey, punctuated with struggles with teachers and fellows, he finally attains at the dignity of the "Eighth A." Life holds no greater pleasure than to promenade before the rest of the school and to hold it over the little fellows who are still in the "Sixth" or "Seventh." This bissful state of affairs is, however soon ended, for there comes a day when one enters high school to learn that a freshman is the mud of the earth and a sophomore a demigod to be feared and obeyed. The senior year soon arrives and again one attains the dignity of lord of the universe and arbiter of student affairs. But again there comes a fall in estate and this is the present condition of the class of 1919.
For the freshman class of all colleges there exist certain customs and traditions for the purpose of impressing on the freshman mind that it is a freshman's business to be seen and not heard. Some of these customs seem foolish and often arbitrary, but their survival over years of college existence proves that they have a certain useful value.
Freshman can best show a sincere desire to serve their college by learning and observing the traditional regulations which preceding classes have followed.
But it is not alone in the obedience to external regulations that a freshman can show his desire to serve his college. The freshman year should be a year of preparation and hard work. College offers great possibilities for all lines of ability, literary, business, athletic, musical, etc. First of all, of course, are students—without them there would be no college. Hard work and persistence during the first year of classroom work will make all the rest of the years easy by providing a solid foundation for courses to come. After lessons have been disposed of it is every man's business, and girl's, too, to get into some line of student activity and to stay with it to the finish. Many freshmen make the mistake of thinking there is no chance for success in competition with older, more experienced students. Like an idea is an indication of lack of self-confidence amounting almost to cowardice. One never knows that one can do till one tries, and it is surprising how easy it can be succeed if a person only makes up his mind to do it. Other freshmen make the mistake of trying to do too many things at once and end up by doing nothing well. It is good sense to pick out the line of activity which appeals most and confine one's self to that till mastery of it gives time for other things. There are two other classes of freshmen, both to be deployed. One class allows the pleasures of college life to divert its attentions from the worthwhile things, and the other is unwilling to exert itself unless it can have the big offices and the limelight constantly. The latter assumes the attitude of the child which won't play unless it can be "it." Colleges would be better off without either class.
In general, then, the same qualities which succeed in life lead to success in college. They are a proper self-respecting spirit of subordination to rules which surrounding society has found needful, a willingness to work hard at lessons when the reward is remote, the courage to overcome shyness and the sense of inexperience and to get into some line of work with the intention of sticking to the end, the ability to forego pleasure for duty and the will to accept and hold minor positions well in preparation bigger things to come. Advancement and self-admiration demand these qualities. As President Van Hise of the University of Wisconsin in slightly more polite language annually informs the freshman class, "If you are not here for work, get out."—The Colorado Tiger.
LAWRENCE IN 1864
"I'm off of that sorority," scoffed Hi Speed who is up-to-date, if anything. "Why most of those girls still wear plain black stockings."
And it was that in those December days the little town of Lawrence was fortified round about by earthworks, hastily thrown up and patrolled by relays of organized forces. So a week went by, a gloomy seven days of increasing heaviness. By incessant labor five fortifications had been erected to guard the river and the land entrance to the besieged town. Day and night in the chill early winter days the men worked to strengthen the defence. Along either side of Massachusetts Street, a wide roadway that should one day grow into a broad avenue, intervened. were thrown up, there were set night and day on the high places and protection that could offer aid and protection was called into action. And all the while, on the bleak top of Mount Oread, where its colors could be seen and its message read for miles, the Stars and Stripes floated bravely out in proud serenity—"From "A Wall of Men." by Margaret Hill McCarter.
At a meeting of the freshman class at Washburn recently the class decided without a single dissenting vote to adopt the blue and white skull cap insignia. A few wise freshmen anticipated the decision of the class and did their "cap shopping" early, so already a few of the caps are seen bobbing around. Caps for the remaining freshmen have been ordered, and will probably be here in about a week. In addition to the white button, the caps can be further ornamented if the freshmen win the sack scrap. If victorious they will be allowed to display their numerals in as conspicuous a place on their caps as they can find.

INDIANS GATHER |TOMORROW
Fifth Annual Conference Will Consider Plans for Making the Race Self-Supporting
With the opening of the fifth annual conference of the Society of American Indians in Lawrence toorrow, discussions will start that are of great importance to every American taxpayer.
The meeting opens in F. A. U. Hall tomorrow. The morning will be spent in registering and being assigned to boarding and rooming places.
The object of the conference is to devise some manner, in which the American Indians will be able to contribute fully to their own support and thus save the American government the twenty millions of dollars that are expended annually to care for them.
In the afternoon an executive session will be held at the hall and members will be appointed to the various committees. In the evening officials of the University and the city will give public welcome to the Indians and responses will be made by prominent visitors.
Beginning Wednesday morning the conference will be in sessions from 9 a. m., until 5 p. m. in Marvin Hall. Saturday will be the last day for regular conference work and on Sunday pulpits of the local churches will be filled by the most prominent of the Indians.
Several interesting features are being arranged for that were not included in the temporary program and have not yet been announced.
After struggling for two days with the complications arising from having two "Mr. Gillespie" in 9:30 geology class, Professor Twenhofel has hit upon a happy solution. B. Gillespie will hereafter answer to the name, Ben, and L. Gillespie will respond to Lester.
On Wednesday morning a special delegation will be sent to Kansas City to participate with the Kansas City officers in an erection of a marker to the memory of ex Governor Walker, a Wyandotte Indian, first governor of Kansas.

R. L. Goheen, second year pharmic,
has the distinction of being the first
person to purchase an athletic ticket
for the coming season. He made his
purchase of Registrar George O.
Foster Friday morning.
"I expect them to come in pretty lively from now on," said Mr. Foster during a dull moment in which the line of students waiting to obtain tickets had dwindled. "We ought to sell a great many more tickets this year than ever before. With both Nebraska and Drake on the football schedule for games on McCook, to say nothing of the other attractions included in the books, every student should avail himself of the opportunity to secure a season ticket at the reduced price."

Jake Fast had an especially good day Friday, making all the scores put over by the Varsity against McCarty and Sproull's tyros and carrying the ball most of the time. The former Bakerie seems a sure bet for the Varsity.
As usual, the book of tickets sells for five dollars. This includes not only admission to all athletic contests, but to the debates, glee club concerts, and orchestra and band entertainments staged during the year.

THUNDERING THOUSAND
WILL WEAR K. U. COLORS
A plan to deck the Thundering Thousand in crimson and blue hats on the football field was announced this morning by Joe Gaitskill, cheerleader. Gaitskill will have the hats here in time for the first Conference game, that with Drake on Oct. 16. He plans to seat the rooting section so that a big blue K will appear in a background of crimson.
The program for the rally on the eve of the William Jewell game is being completed today. "Parson" Spots, famous cheerleader in 1911-12, has been invited to lead in a few Rock Chalks, and Olcott, Hamilton and James will be on the program for speeches.
For the benefit of those students who daily travel out to Hamilton Field to watch Olecott's squad in practice, the Daily Kansan here gives a list of the players with numbers. These are the numerals given out at the beginning of the season, but it is expected the payers will all be renumbered for the opening game. Jawel Saturday, 1. Reber; 3. Capt. James; 4. Bell; 5. Groft; 6. Strother; 9. Meyn; 13. Fitzgerald; 14. Lindsay; 16. L. Gillispie; 18. Holt; 12. Neilson; 2. B. Gillispie; 23. Faste; 24. Hammond-Calkine; 25. Reedy; 26. Wood.
A big bonfire in front of Fraser will be the signal for the beginning of the nightshirt parade after the game.
Without looking up the first name of Frost, a Varsity prospect, it is a safe bet that it is Jack.

HE KEEPS THEM BUSY Olcott Takes Football Men for Little Jaunt of Ten Miles Sunday
Sunday
The Jayhawker football team lost a letter man of last year when Vie Housholder announced that he would not participate further in college athletics. Housholder's action was unlocked for by members of the squad and his loss will be felt in oil 01. The work of a veteran line. Excessive work in preparing for his master's degree was given as the reason for his withdrawal.
In spite of the rainy weather Saturday and muddy rains Sunday the squad was given a hard workout Saturday morning and their weekly ten mile hike on Sunday afternoon. The Haskell- Kansas Wesleyan game on the Haskell Field was the attraction for the men on Saturday morning. Watching the other fellow run around in the mud formed a pleasing pastime for the Jayhawkers as well as an instructive one.
Although the first game of the season is Saturday no lineup of the team has been announced by Olcott. Every day sees a shift in the line or back-field and it is possible that a very large squad will be used in the William Jewell game. Lindsey will doubtless do the punting for the squad for his spirals outdistance those of any rival for his berth. Drop kicking is also a specialty of the and many points are expected by the field goal route while he is in the game. Hammond, the 210 pound guard, who arrived on the scene last week has taken to the game in his old style and his presence has proved a great help to the weight of the line. Reber has been changed back to his end position again after a trial at tackle. Saturday's game will probably see him in this position.
Wood and Lindsey are the only veterans in the backfield but there is an abundance of material to fill the other three places. Holt, Fast, Burch, Gorrill and Todd are making strong bids for these jobs and will probably get a trial in the first game.
CAPPER MAY START GAME
Governer is Invited to Kick Off at Kansas-Aggie
Contest
Manhattan, Kans., Sept. 27—The lightest squad not only in the Missouri Valley conference but in the history of football in the Kansas State Agricultural college is what John R. Bender, coach and director of athletics, claims for his team which has begun scrimmage work preparatory to the opening game on October 1. with Southwestern College.
"The boys are tall and ranged," said Coach Bender today, "and one would judge that they would average 180 or 155 pounds, but they tip the scales at only 163. I am well pleased with the fighting spirit shown; the boys are full of pep."
Arthur Capper, governor of Kansas, will be asked to kick off at the opening of the big home-coming game Aggies vs. K. U. on Ahearn field, October 23—according to Coach Bender.
"Help beat K. U." is the ery already raised by the students and towards that end energy will be centered.
The distribution of twenty-two Varsity sweaters to the football squad, Friday night, caused the report that those players that didn't get one, were not on the first squad. Manager Hamilton explained it however by saying that there were only twenty-two of the sweaters in the athletic association's store team and consequently only distribute the number. The other players will be given blankets to protect them from the chill north wind that is beginning to sweep down on the field these autumn afternoons.
Now comes Coach Brewer of Missouri with the prediction that it will be the Cornhuskers that win this year's Missouri Valley gridiron championship. Maybe so, but if Brewer's prediction is as reliable as the rest of the story which also told of Stryker being in the K. U. line, Crimson and Blue rooters won't worry so awfully much.
THE RAINS HINDER RUNNERS
Cross Country Aspirants Are Compelled to Run on Paved Streets
The rains of the past week have confined members of the cross country squad to the paved streets for the greater part of their practice. Each day twenty-five or thirty men under the leadership of Capt. Fred Rodkey run from two and a half to five miles.
The try-out for the team will come the latter part of October at the interclass meet. The six men finishing first will constitute the team. A cup is offered as first prize in this meet and medals as second and third prizes,
The Missouri Valley Conference meet will be held about a week later but the place has not yet been determined as it is not known whether Drake, Washburn and the Aggies will enter teams. Captain Rodkey is hoping that the meet will be held here and is sure that in case it is, K. U. will easily take first place. Rodkey says that some of the new material is showing up well and indications are that Baltz, sophomore Engineer, and Green, a junior, will show up well in the try-out, but so early one can not tell; things may change materially within a week.
huge make over.
The course will be changed from ast year, the team turning to the 10th instead of south after reaching the western end of the campus. This, lodkey says, is the best available.

Fresh and Sophs May Enter Athletics Instead of Regular Gym
Work
Professor Lorenz desires to correct the impression that the new forms of specialized athletics are compulsory for freshmen and sophomores. The idea of this new system is to make it possible for every 'man to learn the rudiments of the different games, not to confine himself alone to football, baseball or tennis, but to familiar with soccer, basketball and other forms as well. This will make it possible for all man who has never seen scopes to be developed along proper lines and without fear of serious injury such as he might receive in scrimage with the hardened veterans of the gridiron.
It is planned by Mr. Lorenz to take the freshmen that McCarty weeds out and keep them at football three days a week. This will give them the actual amount of time that ordinarily would be spent in the gym and will be more to the liking of the students taking gym.
HACKNEY WOULD HAVE
LECTURES ON SPORTS
Students in the big state schools won't hiss the umpire because he doesn't enforce clean play on their teams, if the ideas of the Board of Administration are carried out.
Ed. T. Hackney, president of the Board, has sent a letter to the president of each of the institutions suggesting that the athletic department give a series of lectures on football, baseball, and basketball, open to the entire student body. This is an innovation in college life.
It is felt by the Board that a knowledge of the purpose, details, and benefits of each of the big intercollegiate sports will increase interest and attendance at the games, and will insure cleaner sport.
At a meeting of the committee appointed by the National Inter-collegiate Association in New York, it was decided that all amateur basketball should be played according to collegiate rules. Heretofore some schools have the A. A. U. rules, while high school games have been conducted according to Y. M. C. A. regulations.

VOLUME XIII
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.

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.

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 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.

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."

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.

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," 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.

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

Popular government and public welfare are to be the themes discussed by the convention of the League of Kansas Municipalities at Hutchinson, October 13, 14 and 15. The program of the meeting of the city officers was anounced at the league headquarters here this morning.
The growth and practical results of commission government and of the initiative, referendum and recall will be discussed by men of prominence. The work of the National Cities Utilities Bureau will also be featured at the Hutchinson meeting. William A. Hutchinson, former Chair of Child Welfare of the University, will discuss "Child Welfare and the Community".

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
follows.

The Daily Kanan aims to picture the undergraduate in his own right, so he can further than merely printing the name on his stand. He holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads in all, to ability students of the University.
TUESDAY, SEPT. 28, 1915
When in doubt, ignore style—Arnold Bennett.
EDUCATION AND CREEDS Attendance at state schools has increased 3,524 in the past two years. This indicates several tendencies. One of them is the decline of small denominational schools.
Among other causes, the cold, frank, penetrating studies of modern thought have done a great deal of damage to the small church school. What students are interested in now is fact, not a creedal form of one religion. Recent developments in psychology and sociology have turned so much light on conditions that were formerly dismissed with a Scriptural reference that the denominational school is hard pressed to reconcile its own peculiar history and interpretation of the universe with the results of research. One small school recently wrote to a large university to secure a professor of biology but specified that he must not believe in evolution. That illustrates the difficulty. Having a set of doctrine to uphold, that is the first interest. Fact can be brought in only so long as it harmonizes with preconceived ideas.
This is not an incrimination of the motives of denominational schools. They mean well, but they have not yet caught the spirit of modern education. They do not yet realize what science has been doing for the past half century.
Students are merely walking around the well meaning professor who mixes his Calvanism, or Methodism, or other ism with his biology and sociology and psychology. Students prefer the truth-facts. They can make their own creeds later.
TIDINESS
Professor Goldsmith's plan for improving the beauty of Mount Oread appeals to every loyal student at the University. He would like to see us plant shrubs and flowers, and vines. Some plan for doing this will be arranged by spring, no doubt.
But he further urges something which each of us can begin practicing im mediately: campus tidiness. Scarcely a corner of the campus that is not littered with scraps of paper, tobacco cans, posters, or Hershey wrappers. The Men's Student Council is planning to place receptacles in convenient places for trash. Meanwhile each of us can exercise tidiness around the campus.
A LA JAWN DEE
The newspapers last week devoted much space to John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who had attended a dance given by miners in Colorado and had danced thereat with great elation. Thus the dance was made the medium for bringing about better relations between warring factions. All this idea be adapted
to K. U.？If the powers that be would consent to students' participation in downtown dances a better sentiment between students and business men of Lawrence might be fostered. The foundation for a more flexible credit system would thus be laid, more goods would be sold and there would be less necessity for hypothecating watches on the part of the students.
Why can not this idea be adapted
PARTIAL SUCCESS
Students who have been on Mount Oread several years will remember that the Daily Kansan talked a long while to get a cement walk put on the Library cutoff. Now it is finished.
They may also remember that the Daily Kansan protested vigorously against the 1866 model chairs which students in Fraser Hall class rooms had to sit in. Classes in journalism now have to sit in those racks.
In 1911 there was a freshman whose high school team had no players "about as good as any of the Varsity."

STUDENT OPINION
FOR LONGER RUSH PERIOD
Editor Daily Kansan:
Not only should something be done "to do away with the long rushing season of the sororities," but something should also be done to do away with the evils of the short rushing season of the fraternities.
Is any fraternity man so blind to the truth as to believe that in two or three days acquaintance he can determine the suitability of a "rushee" for membership in his chapter? Are men in the early twenties sufficiently mature and experienced in character reading to know, from their brief observations, what is the rushing affords, that the man will be congenial and able to adapt himself to the conditions of life in a chapter house without friction?
I have been told that the fraternities at Kansas are known to lack internal harmony. I do not wonder at it. I would be surprised if it were otherwise. The rushing season is altogether too short. The sororites' rushing season is also too short. It would be far better for all concerned if pledging were deferred till the end of the semester, or at least until about Christmas. I believe that all objections to such delay can be adequately answered and that many advantages would result.
Cannot the fraternity alumni in the faculty and town get together and form an organization for the better supervision of the chapters? The first task of such an organization should be the revision of the rushing rules, based on the findings of this recently reported on this subject to the national Interfraternity Conference in New York City.
Are there enough interested Greekletter alumni on the faculty to form such an organization? Even with but one member of each fraternity represented on the faculty a live society could be formed and fraternity conditions vastly improved. Who will help?
Greek.
What a university is no one can define, but all may in a measure come to know. By pondering its principles, by contemplating its ideals, by examining its aims, activities and fruits, above all by sharing in its spirit and aspiration, we may at length win a conception of it that will fill our minds with light and our hearts with devotion. - Cassius J. Keyser.
WHAT IS A UNIVERSITY?

WAR AND RUSSIAN UNIVERSITIES
An observer of conditions in Russia has pointed out that the students of that empire are less affected by the war than is the case of similar classes in any other country. The Russian universities have not been depleted. Possibly this situation is due in large measure to the law that men are not liable for military service during student days. Something over fifteen thousand students, however, have volunteered. Almost every student is taking part in hospital service or other relief work.
There is a great wave of sacrificial devotion spreading among the students. Many who fight in the army with no trace of bitterness toward the enemy but to sacrifice themselves. This makes a favorable opportunity for religious work and the spiritual message. No public meetings are allowed but private conferences are eagerly sought-Student World.
He sat down and opened his Bible.
He saw the verse! Horrow-stirken
he tried to close the book hastily.
But his wife was looking over his
shoulder. Chance directed her gaze
to the same verse.
But it doesn't always work so well. One of the student pastors, on the evening of the day he had taken to himself a wife, tried this method. Surely on this day of all days the fates should be propitious.
TELLING FORTUNE BY BIBLE
Have you ever tried to see some significance in picking out a Bible verse at random? If you have surely someone who knows great decision by such a reliable fortune-telling method.
TELLING FORTUNE BY BIBLE
Why, with two whole pages of verses, should both of them read "Now. I have played the fool?"
So far, nothing has occurred which would indicate that either party was taking the matter seriously enough to desist "playing the fool" by instituting a suit for divorce—Southwestern Collegian.

MORTER COLLEGE COURSE
Sensible! When the President of Harvard suggests an innovation in education the whole country listens. President Lowell of Harvard in an address on the "Economy of Time in Education," before the Association of American Universities declared that he would not be opposed to a college course of two years and a graduate course of two years in place of the present four years' general college course. The colleges provide a much more practical training today than they did even ten years ago, but the have not yet met the amount of the young man desiring a certain amount of college training, but who is eager to learn, business and who feels there is much in the college course that fails to fit him for a business career. The difference in size between freshman and senior classes is sufficient proof that a course is required that will fit the needs of the large numbers who drop out after the sophomore year. A course that is definitely planned to end with the second college year, carrying it with an appropriate certificate, would induce many thousands of young men who now stop with high school to take up the two years' course—Leslie's.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERS
HOLD INITIAL MEETING
The first meeting of the year of the University of Kansas Branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers was held Thursday in Marvin Hall. The history of the student banches of the national organization was given by Dean P. F. Walker and Prof. A. H. Sluss outlined the work that will be covered by the society this year.
Considerable significance is attached to the fact that the University of Kansas, through the efforts of Dean Walker and his assistants in the department of mechanical engineering, was the leader in the formation of Student Branches of the national organization. The mechanical society was recognized by the A, S, M. E. in 1909 and since that time the national headquarters in New York has closely watched the activities of the branch organization in this school. The society meets weekly at which meeting the members read technical magazine reports and papers of their own composition. A big annual meeting is held each year and the students are at that time addressed by outsiders in the engineering profession and members of the University faculty.

POLITY CLUB TO MEET SOON ADD TO MUSEUM COLLECTION
One girl is a sadder and wiser sophomore. Not long since, returning from mailing a letter to one she had left behind, absorbed in sad and thoughtful reminiscences, she absent-mindedly wandered into the rooming house next her own. She did not even discover her mistake until the strangeness of her surroundings awoke her from her reverie. And then—will she fled. It was a men's rooming house.
Glenn Alt, senior Engineer, spent the week-end with his parents at Denton, Kansas. Alt attended the engineering camp held at Robinson, Kansas, the early part of the summer. He then visited the exposition, making him too late to visit his parents before enrollment this fall.

Will Decide on Speakers for University Peace Convention iNext
Month
To decide on the speakers for the convention here next month members of the Polity Club will meet this week. This club was organized last spring by Dr. George Nasmyst of Boston when he spoke here .
tarold Branine, '16, and Kenneth Pringle, '16, were delegates to the general convention at Ithaca, N. Y., last spring. Delegates from thirty-five universities attended this gathering. Among the men who addressed the convention were Norman Angell, Major Putnam, of the National Security League, and Dr. George Nasmith. The question of International Conciliation from all viewpoints was discussed.
The International Polity club was founded and is supported by the Carnegie Endowment fund. It was formed primarily to promote International Conciliation. The club here was organized late in the spring with a membership of about sixty men.

Eighty men are trying out for the University Band, according to Director J. C. McCanies who is holding the last试 tonight.
An early start is to be made in Jayhawk basketball this year. Coach Hamilton announced this morning that the first practice will be held in the Gym Wednesday night for both freshman and Varsity.
The band is slightly unbalanced due to the lack of material for the bass. With a few bass players and perhaps another clarinet player McCanles promises an exceptionally good band.
Only two "K" men are in school this year and these two were not regulars on last year's squad. The capability of the team is open this year since Ray Folks, captain-elbow, starts until the season starts after the Christmas vacation. Dutch Appel is the most likely candidate for the job.
W. F. Fox, a civil Engineer of the class of 15, is spending his vacation on the Hill. Fox has been working for the Santa Fe railroad this summer and on one of his trips into Mexico was forced to leave his work because of the demonstrations of hostilities by the Mexicans.

Three Biological Surveys Brought Back Much Material This
Summer
As a result of three biological survey expeditions sent out during the summer from the department of biophysics of the Museum is considerably enlarged.
Prof. Herman Douthitt and Lewis Curry went to Seamore, Texas, where they were very successful in obtaining the specimens of the Permean age.
The department sent out another biological survey consisting of Vie Householder, William Heath, and Theodore Griesa, who traveled in the southern part of the state for eight weeks. There they obtained a collection over six hundred bird species to be used in the museum and for class work.
Mr. Martin of the museum is still out on a collecting tour in the western part of the state, where he is searching for vertebrae fossils.
STUDENTS BEGIN HARD
WORK EARLY THIS YEAR
The students are making greater use of the library this year. Nearly two hundred books are now checked out which sets a record for this time of year and incidentally shows that reference work is beginning early.
"In other years the first few weeks of school gave little trouble, but this year we are having as many calls for help as we ever have. We usually do along in the middle or latter part of the school term," said a librarian this morning.
The library is a busy place now at nearly any time of day and often there is hardly space capacity for a number of students looking up material.
Samuel Johnson, the freshman who has been out of school during the past week with ivy poisoning, relied his work on the Hill this spring.

REAL FIGHT IS PROMISED
)
William Jewell Coach Says Kansas Will Have To Fight For A Victory
Liberty, Mo., Sept. 28—With the Jayhawker game close at hand, Coach Bowles is sparing no efforts to have the Jewell eleven in shape for the heavier Kansan machine. While the Jewell mentor isn't exactly enthusiastic over the chances of a victory, he doesn't hesitate to say that his proteges will put up a real fight.
Recent rains have not seriously interfered with practice. Bowles had the men out in the downpour Saturday for three hours and announced this morning that the varsity and scrubs would be pitted against other in a regulation battle tomorrow afternoon. The men are rounding in to shape nicely and from the sidelines it appears that Jewell will have a well balanced eleven this year.
It is generally presumed among students here that Bowles will assume defensive tactics in Saturday's game, as he realizes his light back-field will stand little chance of penetrating the beefy Jayhawker line. Much attention has been given to Waterman's hunting the past week
and the big tackle is expected to do some great booting against the Olcottians.
Jewell stock has taken a rise since it is evident that Peterson, a 10-second man on the Jewell track team, is again in shape to play football. Peterson came out for the team last year and was touted as one of the best backs in the state, but he dislocated his ankle in practice before the season began and never had a chance to get into a game.
TRYOUTS FOR GLEE CLUB
SHOW UP GOOD VOICES
The first Glee Club tryout was held Saturday morning in North College and was attended by about forty men. A number of excellent voices were discovered and from these, with the few last year men that are back Professor Downing expects to develop a glee club of exceptional quality.
Plans are being formulated by the Fine Arts department for a series of concerts to be given during the year by both the Men's and Women's Glee Clubs. More detailed information in regard to these concerts will appear later.

CORNHUSKERS LOOK BETTER
Chamberlain and Abbott Are Now Expected to Return to
School
Lincoln, Neb. Sept. 28—Cornhusker football prospects are perking up and, at the rate of improvement noted this week, soon may be selling at par.
Nebraska stock began to climb Tuesday co-incident with the return of Earl Abbott, a veteran guard, and all that remains to send it soaring is the announcement that Gay Chamberlain, spectacular half-back on the 1914 eleven, also will get into the moleskins. Abbott's return, however, was not permanent. He was on the Nebraska campus only one day, yet when he returned to his home he gave a pledge to Head Coach Stiehm that he would exert every effort in overcoming parental objections so that he might be back in the moleskins and a full-fledged Cornhusker before the end of the present week.
A movement to bring Chamberlain back to the Huskers also is incubating and, in fact, is believed to be near to hatching out. Alumni influence and fraternity pressure are at work to enable Chamberlain to clear the same hurdle which has bothered Abbott—parental objections—and the outlook with reference to the return of the star halfback is encouraging to Cornhusker followers. With Abbott and Chamberlain back on Jumbe Stiehm's squad, giving the head coach six veterans as the nucleus for his 1915 eleven, the average Nebraska adherent could forsee but one result—aother Missouri Valley championship, as well as another eleven taking rank with the foremost teams in college circles, east or west.

Captain James Is Pleased With Last Week's Football Practice
Three teams of Varsity regulars were sent against the pick of McCarty's tyre squad last night and each one marched straight down the field for a touchdown. But the freshmen were unable to score when it came their turn to handle the ball.
The fans on the sidelines of Hamilton Field spent much time speculating which team was "the" squad. Three complete teams were running signals, the three were sent against the freshmen and all three made equal showings against the tyros. In each squad was a number of veterans and the new men played like veterans. With such a large group of players making good, Olecott's job of picking the best combination to use against William Jewell is obviously no easy task.
Koss Keeling will be back in a couple of days, according to Captain James. The big center did not take his degree last spring, and furthermore, refused a railroad position this summer in order that he might play football with his teammates. He back as soon as he kets his wheat crop planted.
The return of this veteran to the center position of the line will probably cause the shifting of Hammond back to his old guard position. Hammond and McMeel have been showing up at center and will probably be used in the first game. McMeel looks good as an alternate with Keeling for the season. Reber was working at tackle again last night but the permanency of the change is only a matter of speculation.
Captain James is greatly pleased with the large amount of good material out this year but cannot even venture a guess for the lineup Saturday.
"All the men are showing up fine," said the Jaywalker captain last night after practice. "We cannot pick out the good ones and discard the bad ones because it is more than we can do to distinguish them. As many men as possible will be given a trial in the game Saturday. There is a great improvement in the team since last week both in ability and pep."

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.
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, debating society, or shows a marked increase in the scholarship during the past two years.
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.
RUN SENIOR FACES BY A-B-C
Alphabetical Arrangement In Jay hawker Is Innovation An nounced 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.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. TUESDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 28. 1915
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 three institutions with findings used by that school, 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 the straggling habits of late con-
FIFTEEN K. U. STUDENTS
VISITED PUGET SOUND
"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 as a representative of representatives from University of Kansas, Ottawa, Illinois and Washburn College.
Shortly after the June commencement a special ear was chartered vist 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 Pupet Sound station, have brought back valuable material for their class work, besides several fine specimens for the museum.

CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT
IS CRAMDED FOR SPACE
On account of the large number on students enrolled in the department of chemistry, it has been necessary for 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 Misplay
Important changes in' the football rules will be in operation this year at K. U. These are rules that every true lover of this sport will endure 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 substitute for the purpose of conveying information.
Display
The board again showed interest in the betterment of the game by its disapproval of certain play. The center is now prohibited making a false motion in snapping the ball but must actually let the ball go.
The peculiar method of blocking and interfering, in which men throw their legs in the air, has been rued out. Throwing the legs and striking a man above the knee will be penalized with a warning that striking a man in the same way below the knees is "tripping."
Players must handle the full-back with more care than in previous seasons. Running into the full-back is penalized 15 yards, but "voughing" 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 whistle, whistle blows, nor will the defence be permitted to run into a man after the whistle.
The penalty for unisportsmanlike conduct was changed to 15 yards, but the power was placed in the hands of the referee for flagrant violation of the rule.
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伞班 to pass Blake Hall, and glancing up at that atrelief 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 shamelessly held before its face for these many years.
The Mathematics Club meet yesterday afternoon and elected the following officers: president, Cyril A. Nelson; secretary-treasurer, Amnette Ashton; faculty adviser, Amnette Ashton; 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, "these 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."
Frances Jobes, a freshman in the College, has returned from Kansas City where she spent the week-end distingishing her parents.
Finn Otto, who graduated from the University last spring, is now teaching English and Latin in the high school at Winchester.
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.

KANSAS GRADUATE MISSING
Myrtle Shane, of the Class '98. A 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 worked as 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 Bitilis 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 Myrtle Shane, a woman in Hills. But whether she has escaped or been killed, we do not yet know."
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 membership and are urged to attend.

Gaitskill and His Assistants Work Out Details for First Pep Fest of Season
PLAN FOR GIGANTIC RALLY
Plans for the first big football rally next Friday night in the gym are being rapidly formulated by Joe Gattickskill and his assistants, Eugene Gemble and Kenneth Gedney. A few "shot shots" from Manager W. O. Hamilton, Coach Olecott and Capt. Tony James will liven up the periods between "Rock Chalks." A place on the program is being arranged for Prof. Arthur Nevin, the new voice instructor, and J. C. McCanlies will be there 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 upperclassmen will be there and the first year fellows only need to get started right. The rally will start promptly at 7 o'clock and the "fusssers" are urged to bring their dates up with them and help in making this a custom
"New yellers 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 yellers and more school students at the rallies this year than has been used hereofore. He is adopting this idea from the systems in vogue at other colleges.
COLLEGE DANCE FOR FRIDA
Students May Trot at Fraternal Aid Announces President Jones of the College
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 dences.
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 guarded by counselors who are deeply proper and legitimate. Jones hopes the whole student body will be out.
"JIM" IS TOO HONEST
TO GET AWAY WITH TIPS
"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 own refreshment. She laid it upon the table before her with a plate of ice. Jim had left with the orders when a wail went up. The dime had vanished.
"Why, Ah bleg yo' paden, Miss!" he said finally, "but Ah thought dat some of yo' ladies had left dat dime there fo'a tip. Ah e'caintainly beg yo' paden." And the dime slinked from his fist to the table. The young woman says that next time Jim is going to have that dime.
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.

LIFE OF SELF SACRIFICE Bulgarian Studies to be Medical Missionary in His Homeland
Peter D. Yankoff, 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 dependant upon the services of one physicist," Mr. Yankoff explained to a Kunashar pastor today. He added that, dually, who are unable to obtain aid.
"My father and mother died with out medical aid. I determined to give my life to alleviate the suffering o 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.
"Also, a degree is easier to obtain n this country than in Europe There, one must have a college degr eece of math, computer science professional and technical courses, while here one can enter some university direct from high school."
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 shoemaker 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 wisdom of his father: "There's a way." Through 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.
KANSAS MUNICIPALITIES

FORTY-ONE SEEK OFFICE
Two Score and One Students Aspire to Places on Class Administrations
Tenight the Student Council will meet to pass upon the petitions and to determine the eligibility of the candidates.
Forty-one candidates' petitions were filed this morning with Leiand Thompson, president of the Student Council, the last of the documents arriving at noon, when the time limit set for the filing of the petitions expired.
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.
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.
A little ripple of excitement was caused in the freshman class this morning by the appearance of another ticket, on which A. A. Axiline was booked for the presidency of the first year students.
With this single exception, however, no new tickets have been tossed.
The complete list of the candidates who filed their petitions today is as follows:

TUESDAY, SEPT. 28, 1915
When in doubt, ignore style—Arnold Bennett.
EDUCATION AND CREEDS Attendance at state schools has increased 3,524 in the past two years. This indicates several tendencies. One of them is the decline of small denominational schools.
Among other causes, the cold, frank, penetrating studies of modern thought have done a great deal of damage to the small church school. What students are interested in now is fact, not a creedal form of one religion. Recent developments in psychology and sociology have turned so much light on conditions that were formerly dismissed with a Sceptural reference that the denominational school is hard pressed to reconcile its own peculiar history and interpretation of the universe with the results of research. One small school recently wrote to a large university to secure a professor of biology but specified that he must not believe in evolution. That illustrates the difficulty. Having a set of doctrine to uphold, that is the first interest. Fact can be brought in only so long as it harmonizes with preconceived ideas.
This is not an incrimination of the motives of denominational schools. They mean well, but they have not yet caught the spirit of modern education. They do not yet realize what science has been doing for the past half century.
Students are merely walking around the well meaning professor who mixes his Calvanism, or Methodism, or other ism with his biology and sociology and psychology. Students prefer the truth—facts. They can make their own creeds later.
TIDINESS
Professor Goldsmith's plan for improving the beauty of Mount Oread appeals to every loyal student at the University. He would like to see us plant shrubs and flowers, and vines. Some plan $ \overline{\mathrm{G}} \mathrm{R}$ doing this will be arranged by spring, no doubt.
But he further urges something which each of us can begin practicing im mediately: campus tidiness. Scarcely a corner of the campus that is not littered with scraps of paper, tobacco cana, posters, or Hershey wrappers. The Men's Student Council is planning to place receptacles in convenient places for trash. Meanwhile each of us can exercise tidiness around the campus.
A LA JAWN DEE
The nowapapers last week devoted much space to John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who had attended a dance given by miners in Colorado and had danced thereast with great ecat. Thus the dance was made the medium for bringing about better relations between warring factions.
to K. U.? If the powers that be would consent to students' participation in downtown dances a better sentiment between students and business men of Lawrence might be fostered. The foundation for a more flexible credit system would thus be laid, more goods would be sold and there would be less necessity for hypothecating watches on the part of the students.
Students who have been on Mount Oread several years will remember that the Daily Kansan talked a long while to get a cement walk put on the Library cutoff. Now it is finished.
PARTIAL SUCCESS
Why can not this idea be adapted
They may also remember that the Daily Kansan protested vigorously against the 1866 model chairs which students in Fraser Hall class rooms had to sit in. Classes in journalism now have to sit in those racks.
In 1911 there was a freshman whose high school team had no players "about as good as any of the Varsity."

STUDENT OPINION
FOR LONGER RUSH PERIOD
Editor Daily Kansan:
Not only should something be done "to do away with the long rushing season of the sororites," but something should also be done to do away with the evils of the short rushing season of the fraternities.
Is any fraternity man so blind to the truth as to believe that in two or three days acquaintance he can determine the suitability of a "rushee" for membership in his chapter? Are men in the early twenties sufficiently mature and experienced in character reading to know, from such brief observational of a rushee's rushing ability, that the man will be congenial and able to adapt himself to the conditions of life in a chapter house without friction?
Cannot the fraternity alumni in the faculty and town get together and form an organization for the better supervision of the chapters? The first task of such an organization should be the revision of the rushing rules, based on the findings of a recent report which recently reported on this subject to the national Interfraternity Conference in New York City.
I have been told that the fraternities at Kansas are known to lack internal harmony. I do not wonder at it. I would be surprised if it were otherwise. The rushing season is altogether too short. The sororites' rushing season is also too short. It would be far better for all concerned if pledging were deferred till the end of the semester, or at least until about Christmas. I believe that all objections to such delay can be adequately answered and that many advantages would result.
Are there enough interested Greek-
letter alumni on the faculty to form
such an organization? Even with
but one member of each fraternity
represented on the faculty a live
society could be formed and fraternity
conditions vastly improved. Who
will help?

What a university is no one can define, but all may in a measure come to know. By pondering its principles, by contemplating its ideals, by examining its aims, activities and fruits, above all by sharing in its spirit and aspiration, we may at length win a conception of it that will fill our minds with light and our hearts with devotion. - Cassius J. Keyser.

WAR AND RUSSIAN UNIVERSITIES
An observer of conditions in Russia has pointed out that the students of that empire are less affected by the war than is the case of similar classes in any other country. The Russian universities have not been depleted. Possibly this situation is due in large measure to the law that men are not liable for military service during student days. Something over fifteen thousand students, however, have volunteered. Almost every student is taking part in hospital service or other relief work.
There is a great wave of sacrificial devotion spreading among the students. Many who fight in the army with no trace of bitterness toward the enemy but to sacrifice themselves. This makes a favorable opportunity for religious work and the spiritual message. No public meetings are allowed but private conferences are eagerly sought.-Student World.
But it doesn't always work so well. One of the student pastors, on the evening of the day he had taken to himself a wife, tried this method. Surely on this day of all days the fates should be propitious.
TELLING FORTUNE to be
Have you ever tried to see some
significance in a Bible,
verse at renaissance? If you haven't you
were told of someone who came
to some great decision by such a
reliable fortune-telling method.
TELLING FORTUNE BY RIPLE
He sat down and opened his Bible.
He saw the verse! Horrow-stricken he tried to close the book hastily.
But his wife was looking over his shoulder. Chance directed her gaze to the same verse.
So far, nothing has occurred which would indicate that either party was taking the matter seriously enough to desist "playing the fool" by instituting a suit for divorce—Southwestern Collegian.
Why, with two whole pages of verses, should both of them read "Now, I have played the fool?"
Your true Bostonian takes pride in the fact that his Evening Transcript puts the smallest headlines over the most interesting news—and that he knows how to find the most interesting news under the smallest head

This is the true Bostonian's notion of the pragmatic value of the highest education.—Life.
It costs more to live in America than in Europe, and it's worth it, too. The Outlook.
A SHORTER COLLEGE COURSE Sensible! When the President of Harvard suggests an innovation in education the whole country listens. President Lowell of Harvard in an address on the "Economy of Time in Education," before the Association of American Universities declared that he would not be opposed to a college course of two years and a graduate course of two years in place of the present four years' general college course. The colleges provide a much more practical training today than they did even ten years ago, but they have not yet met the case of young man desiring an amount of college training and who feels there is interest in the college course that fails to fit him for a business career. The difference in size between freshman and senior classes is sufficient proof that a course is required that will fit the needs of the large numbers who drop out after the sophomore year. A course that is definitely planned to end with the second college year, carrying with it an appropriate certificate, would induce many thousands of young men who now stop with high school to take up the two years' course.-Leslie's.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERS
HOLD INITIAL MEETING
The first meeting of the year of the University of Kansas Branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers was held Thursday in Marvin Hall. The history of the student banches of the national organization was given by Dean P. F. Walker and Prof. A. H. Sluss outlined the work that will be covered by the society this year.
Considerable significance is attached to the fact that the University of Kansas, through the efforts of Dean Walker and his assistants in the department of mechanical engineering, was the leader in the formation of Student Branches of the national organization. The mechanical society was recognized by the A. S. M. E. in 1909 and since that time the national headquarters in New York has closely watched the activities of the branch organization in this school. The society meets weekly at which meeting the members read technical magazine reports and papers of their own composition. A big annual meeting is held each year and the students are at that time addressed by outsiders in the engineering profession and members of the University faculty.

POLITY CLUB TO MEET SOON ADD TO MUSEUM COLLECTION
One girl is a sadder and wiser sophomore. Not long since, returning from mailing a letter to one she had left behind, absorbed in sad and thoughtful reminiscences, she absent-mindedly wandered into the rooming house next her own. She did not even discover her mistake until the strangeness of her surroundings awoke her from her reverie. And then—will then—she fled. It was a men's rooming house.
Glenn Alt, senior Engineer, spent the week-end with his parents at Denon, Kansas. Alt attended the engineering camp held at Robinson, Kansas, the early part of the summer. He then visited the exposition, making him too late to visit his parents before enrollment this fall.
Harry Gowans, A, M. '13 was in Lawrence Saturday visiting his parents. Gowans is principal of the Iola high school. The fact that Gowans is so fond of football coach as well is not decreasing his popularity with the boys.
Will Decide on Speakers for University Peace Convention iNext
Prof. E, H. S. Bailey, of the department of chemistry will leave tomorrow for Wichita, where he has been summoned on a state case in connection with the State Board of Health.
To decide on the speakers for the convention here next month members of the Polity Club will meet this week. This club was organized last spring by Dr. George Nasmyth of Boston when he spoke here .
Harold Branine, '16, and Kenneth Pringle, '16, were delegates to the general convention at Ithaca. N. Y., last spring. Delegates from thirty-five universities attended this gathering. Among the men who addressed the convention were Norman Angell, Major Putnam, of the National Security League, and Dr. George Nasmyst. The question of International Conciliation from all viewpoints was discussed.
The International Polity club was founded and is supported by the Carnegie Endowment fund. It was formed primarily to promote international democracy and was organized late in the spring with a membership of about sixty men.
New Machines in Fowler Shops
Two new machines have been added to the equipment of the Fowler Shops which are under the supervision of Supt. Frank E. Jones. One is a new style Oliver "jointer," belt driven, and is used for making joints in patterns and other pieces of work where wood is employed.
The other machine is an Oliver direct current motor lathe for use in wood working and turning. It operates under its own power and has a maximum speed of per minute. It is run on a 220 volt circuit and is 5 horse power.
Good Journalism Dept. at I. U. Walter Haviork, while visiting at the University of Illinois last week, met Professor Harrington formerly of the journalism department here. Professor Harrington was greatly pleased with the rapid strides journalism has taken at Illinois U. for though it is a very recent establishment the great enrollment in the department this year has already pointed to a great future.
Eighty men are trying out for the University Band, according to Director J. C. McCanles who is holding the last tryout tonight.
The band is slightly unbalanced due to the lack of material for the bass. With a few bass players and perhaps another clarinet player McCanles promises an exceptionally good band.
An early start is to be made in Jayhawker basketball this year. Coach Hamilton announced this morning that the first practice will be held in the Gym Wednesday night for both freshman and Varsity.
Only two "K" men are in school this year and these two were not regulars on last year's squad. The capacity of the team is open this year since Ray Folks, captain-elect, did not receive a nomination until the season starts after the Christmas vacation.

Three Biological Surveys Brought Back Much Material This
Summer
As a result of three biological survey expeditions sent out during the summer from the department of biology at the Museum, the Museo is considerably enlarged.
Prof. Herman Douthitt and Lewis Curry went to Seamore, Texas, where they were very successful in obtaining the specimens of the Permean age.
The department sent out another biological survey consisting of Vic Householder, William Heath, and Theodore Griesa, who traveled in the southeastern part of the state for eight weeks. There they obtained a bird from over six hundred bird skins to be used in the museum and for class work.
Mr. Martin of the museum is still out on a collecting tour in the western part of the state, where he is searching for vertebrae fossils.
STUDENTS BEGIN HARD
WORK EARLY THIS YEAR
The students are making greater use of the library this year. Nearly two hundred books are now checked out which sets a record for this time of year and incidentally shows that reference work is beginning early.
"In other years the first few weeks of school gave little trouble, but this year we are having as many calls for books and references now as we generalize the middle or latter part of the school term," said a librarian this morning.
The library is a busy place now at nearly any time of day and often self-seating capacity for the great number of students looking up material.
Samuel Johnson, the freshman who has been out of school during the past week with ivy poisoning, resumed his work on the Hill this morning.

REAL FIGHT IS PROMISED
William Jewell Coach Says Kansas Will Have To Fight For A Victory
1
Liberty, Mo., Sept. 28—With the Jayhawker game class at hand, Coach Bowles is sparing no efforts to have the Jewell eleven in shape for the heavier Kansan machine. While the Jewell mentor isn't exact, his thiusiasm is not excused; a vice-deceit has hesitate to say that his proteges will put up a real fight.
Recent rains have not seriously interfered with practice. Bowles had the men out in the downpour Saturday for three hours and announced this morning that the varsity and scrubs would be nitted against each other in a regulation battle tomorrow afternoon. The men are rounding in to shape nicely and from the sidelines it appears that Jewell will have a well balanced eleven this year.
It is generally presumed among students here that Bowles will assume defensive tactics in Saturday's game, as he realizes his light backfield will stand little chance of penetrating the beefy Jayhawker line. Much attention has been given to Waterman's putting the past week
and the big tackle is expected to do some great booting against the Oi-cottians.
Jewell stock has taken a rise since it is evident that Peterson, a 10-second man on the Jewell track team, is again in shape to play football. Peterson came out for the team last year and was touted as one of the best backs in the state, but he dislocated his ankle in practice before the season began and never had a chance to get into a game.
TRYOUTS FOR GLEE CLUB
SHOW UP GOOD VOICES
The first Glee Club tryout was held Saturday morning in North College and was attended by about forty men. A number of excellent voices were discovered and from these, with the few last year men that are back Professor Downing expects to develop a glee club of exceptional quality.
Plans are being formulated by the Fine Arts department for a series of concerts to be given during the year by both the Men's and Women's Glee Clubs. More detailed information in regard to these concerts will appear later.

CORNHUSKERS LOOK BETTER
Chamberlain and Abbott Are Now Expected to Return to
School
Lincoln, Neb. Sept. 28—Cornhusker football prospects are perking up and, at the rate of improvement noted this week, soon may be selling at par.
Nebraska stock began to climb Tuesday co-incident with the return of Earl Abbott, a veteran guard, and all that remains to send it soaring is the announcement that Guy Chamberlain, spectacular halfback on the 1914 eleven, also will get into the mobsbelt. Abbott's return, however, was not permanent. He was on the Nebraska campus only one day, yet when he returned to his home he gave a pledge to Heart Coach Stiehm that he would exert every effort in overcoming parental objections so that he might be back in the mobskins and a full-fledged Cornhusker before the end of the present week.
A movement to bring Chamberlain back to the Huskers also is incubating and, in fact, is believed to be near to hatching out. Alumni influence and fraternity pressure are at work to enable Chamberlain to clear the same hurdle which has bothered Abbott—parental objections—and the outlook with reference to the return of the star halfback is encouraging to Cornhusker followers. With Abbott and Chamberlain back on Jumbo Stiehm's squad, giving the head coach six veterans as the nucleus for his 1915 eleven, the average Nebraska adherent could see but one result—another Missouri Valley championship, as well as another eleven taking rank with the foremost teams in college circles, east or west.

Captain James Is Pleased With Last Week's Football
Practice
Three teams of Varsity regulars were sent against the pick of McCarty's tyro squad last night and each one marched straight down the field for a touchdown. But the freshmen were unable to score when it came their turn to handle the ball.
The fans on the sidelines of Hamilton Field spent much time speculating which team was "the" squad. Three complete teams were running signals, the three were sent against the freshmen and all three made equal showings against the tyros. In each squad was a number of veterans and the new men played like veterans. With such a large squad of players making good, Olecott's job of picking the best combination to use against William Jewell is obviously no easy task.
Ross Keeling will be back in a couple of days, according to Captain James. The big center did not take his degree last spring, and furthermore, refused a railroad coupon. Summer in the city would play Oliver Oicto this fall. James says that Keeling will be back as soon as he gets his wheat crop planted.
The return of this veteran to the center position of the line will probably cause the shifting of Hammond back to his old guard position. Hammond and McMeel have been showing up at center and will probably be used in the first game. McMeel looks good as an alternate with Keeling for the season. Reber was working at tackle again last night but the permanency of the change is only a matter of speculation.
Captain James is greatly pleased with the large amount of good material out this year but cannot even venture a guess for the lineup Saturday.
"All the men are showing up fine," said the dayawker captain last night after practice. "We cannot pick out the good ones and discard the bad ones because it is more than we can do to distinguish them. As many men as possible will be given a trial in the game Saturday.

A NEW BIBLE COLLEGE
Convention of Christian Church
May Decide on Such
Institution
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 29. 1915.
Whether a Christian Bible College is to be founded in Lawrence to succeed the old Christian Bible Chair at the University will be decided here next week at the First Christian church.
Monday morning, delegates from Kansas Christian churches will meet in convention, and one of their duties will be to sanction or reject the proposition of locating a real Bible School in Lawrence.
This question has been brought up before previous conventions, but no definite action was taken. However, it is now believed among the solons of the church that the time for action has arrived, and, in conversation with a Kansas reporter this morning, Dr. Braden of the University Bible Chair said, "We do not, of course, know what the outcome of the convention will be, but the prospects at this time are favorable."
INDIAN CONFERENCE OPENS
Red Men Gather To Discuss Problems Confronting "First Americans"—Meet On Hill.
Sorrows and trials of the past don't worry the modern red man much, it would seem from the trend of speeches by educated Indians at the first session of the fifth annual conference of the Society of American Indians, at Fraternal Aid Hall last night. Every speaker talked of the brilliant future in store for his race and passed over the dark side of its history during the war of Optimism, tempered with a full sense of the responsibility of the work to be done, was unmistakably the keynote of the session. Chancellor Frank Strong of the University presided as chairman.
The opening address was made by President Charles Starkweather of the Merchants and Farmers Association, of Lawrence, and the keys to the city turned over to the visiting Indians. Mr. Starkweather said that Lawrence was more than glad to welcome these civilized "first Americans" and praised the city as an educational center. He introduced Cancellor Strong, who assumed charge of the meeting as its chairman.
"The University of Kansas is honored in having been selected as the place where the deliberations of the convention will be held," the Chancellor declared, "and it's authorities are more than glued to do all in their power to make every session a success.
Other talks were made by Superintendent Wise, of Haskell Institute, President Coolidge, a minister and head of the Society of American Indians, Secretary Arthur Parker, of the society, the Reverend Rewnd Cloud, a Yale graduate and chairman of the advisory board of the organization, Mrs. Bonham, a full professor, a graduate student at Richmond, and for the past twelve years a teacher among the Ute Indians of Utah, the Reverend Ferdon Gordon, priest at Haskell Institute and Mayor Francisco, of Lawrence.
Each speaker pointed out his idea of how the work should be done and emphasized the fact that the young men and women from the Indian schools, such as Haskell Institute, should bear in mind that the ideas of the society and do all in their power to make them realities.
Music was furnished by the Haskell band. The future meetings will be held in Marvin Hall and are open to the general public.
Manhattan, Kans., Sept 28—"No man can be a good citizen unless he reads the newspaper of his community," said Dr. John R. Macarthur, associate professor of the English language in an address before the students of the Kansas State Agricultural College.
Should Read Newspaper
Doctor Macarthur pointed out that the old method of disseminating news by word of mouth had largely passed, even in small towns, and that the newspaper was now essential to an understanding of local as well as national problems.

Plain Tales From the Hill
Blessings on thee, dear old Dad.
Finest one we ever had;
With thy little check book blue,
Paying for the things we do,
With thy thin purse thinner still
From the weight of Knowledge Hill.
From our heart we bless thee, Dad,
And our need of thee is sad.
W. T. McGeorge, '12, says in a letter written to the alumni office, that he has been transferred from the United States Experiment Station at Honolulu, where he has been stationed the last three years, to the United States Bureau of Chemistry at San Francisco. Mr. McGeorge's address is given at Room 33, Appraisers Building, San Francisco.
Some driver backed his car into an motorcycle, standing in front of Fraser Hall yesterday afternoon, with rather serious results to the motorcycle. The machine belonged to Charles Seward, freshman Engineer.
Guy N. Vincent, who has been sick at the City Y. M. C. A, with malaria, will return to his home in Iola soon. Vincent got his malaria in the Oklahoma oil fields last summer and has been unable to attend the University for more than a few days at the beginning of this semester.
After working in the mines and on the railroads of southeastern Colorado two years, Claude Skaggs, a junior Engineer, has returned to the University to finish his course. "This experience," he says, "makes work here on the Hill much more interesting."

The tennis courts on McCook Field have been in perfect shape for the last three days and the racquet- yielders are out in large numbers in pite of the frigidity of the weather.
"Kansas is worth watching," says Herbert Reed the sport writer for Harper's Weekly. He speaks of us as the "link section" between the extreme east and west and thinks that we will produce a different but better brand of football than at any time in the past. His explanation for this conclusion is based on the fact that Coach Olcott will have a chance to work out with husky material some of his advanced eastern ideas.
"Hungry" Howland, who won some distinction last spring as a Varsity track artist, explains that his inability to keep awake during his afternoon classes is due to the fact that he worked the past summer on the night shift of a threshing outfit and became so used to sleeping during the daytime that it is now impossible for him to break himself of the habit.
Everitt Grecian, Pat Pedroja and Sam Pickard came in from near the Colorado line the other evening in old Reo. They tell us the story about how they passed every mile they met of herself for two miles and reached Lawrence the same day that they started.
Frances L. Talbot, whose home is at 509 Tenn. St., is in the University again after an absence of a year on account of the illness of her mother. Miss Talbot spent her freshman year in Ottawa University, but followed the crowd to K. U. the following year. She attended the summer session of the University, and is now enrolled as a junior in the College.
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers will meet Thursday night at 7:30 at the home of Dean P. F. Walker, 1301 Ohio St.
ASSISTANCE FOR WOMEN WILL HEAR OPERA STAR

Engineers to Meet Tonight
Mary Garden, Noted Prima Donna, To Open University Concert Course
Mary Garden, one of America's greatest prima donna, will open the University concert course Wednesday night, October 20, in Robinson Auditorium. The musical festival this year will be more elaborate and will present more great artists than any previous one in Lawrence. Great interest is being shown by the ministers, teachers, and faculty members, and large returns have come in from the guarantors.
Mary Garden is the star of the course, and is an artist of acknowledged greatness. She possesses a dramatic soprano that is one of the best in grand opera. She has so far refused all inductions to appear in the "movies," in order to remain in her chosen work.
the remaining numbers on the course are: Harold Bauer, pianist; Oscar Seagle, harpist; Zoeliner Jane Olsen, notate in the Minnesota Symphony Orchestra.
Student's season tickets will be on sale Monday, October 18, at 8 a.m. at the Round Corner Drug Store. Season tickets will be sold for $3 and $2, according to the location. Single admission to the Mary Garden number will cost $1.50 and $1.
ELECTION DETAILS ARRANGED Point System May Result in Ineligibility of Some Candidates
Final arrangements for the election to be held Friday, were made by the Student Council at their meeting last night. Petitions were received from forty-one candidates. A committee is checking up the eligibility of the would-be office holders today. A new phase of the eligibility requirements this year is the point system, which was adopted by the students of the University last spring.
The polling places will be the same this year as before. Freshmen will vote in the Gym, sophomores in the basement of Snow Hall, juniors in Green Hall and seniors in the basement of Fraser. The polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

GIRLS MAY PURCHASE
"K BOOKS FOR 15 CENTS
Are you keeping track of your dates and spreads and “happen-stances?” if not you should provide yourself with one of those little K books. There will be many times next year when it will be lots of fun for you to compare your pleasures, or the weather or your dates.
Many of the upperclass women do not know that they can get a K book from Miss Gittins for fifteen cents. The freshmen get them free, but this is the first time that the K books have been sold. Miss Gittins still sits a number left, and anyone with fifteen may procure one from her office.
Paul Sautter, '15, was chosen last night to manage the business of the Men's Glee Club, and Harold DeBham was elected as assistant manager. A few preliminary tryouts were held.

Your two dollars hospital fee is now open and running under the direction of the University physicians at 1300 Louisiana street, Drs. Naismith, Smith, Goetz, and Sundwall of the University staff will have regular office hours in the building, and the student desiring attention or advice will be able to find one of them in attendance most any time of the day. Students should call in person or call 1601 on the Bell phone.
The infirmary building is a large modern structure which has been used for several years for a men's rooming house. The house has been entirely repainted and extensive repairs are being made both inside and out. The rooms and offices will be entirely refinished and made over into a modern hospital, and an efficient corps of nurses will have charge both day and night. Miss Reed will have charge of the attention to whatever cases come to the attention of the infirmary at the prescription of any one of the physicians in charge. The attention of a trained nurse at the rate of one dollar a day will be furnished to students confined to the infirmary. This also includes meals, room, and medical attention.
Attention at the infirmary is obtained only on the prescription of one of the University physicians in charge, although for the most part the consultations and medical examinations will be made at the offices there.

BIG NOISE FRIDAY NIGHT
Yell Master Announces Rally Plans—First Appearance of Olcott and Nevins
The first big football rally of the year Friday night, 7 o'clock in Fraser, Yell master Joe Gaitskill has the plans practically completed for a rousing affair. A program has been arranged which includes the following numbers:
Tony James will be on the platform to tell the bunch just how the team feels and what they are going to do to win. Tony is from Liberty. Tony is some talker, too.
Music by the band. J. C. McCanilles will be there with his crowd of peace disturbers to add noise to the occasion and send thrills up your back with "Booh" and "Crimeson and may be a bar or so of rage-time, too.
Manager Hamilton will tell about athletics in general and football in particular and you can't afford to miss Hamilton's dope.
"Pearson" Spotts, Kansas leader in 1911-12 will put on the harness once more and will lead the roost of Clark Chalk" as in the "good old days."
Coach Olcott will be there to get acquainted with the students and to make his first talk. He will tell how to place and how the team looks to him.
Professor Nevin, of the voice department will also make his initial appearance before the student body and will lead the songs.
Professor Lorenz has been invited to speak and will be up there with one of those old fashioned "pep" talks that make things go.
Gaitskill is also planning on using more songs than has been done in the past.
Ladies are not barred and all "fussers" are invited to bring their dates up and make it a regular custom. New yells will be welcomed and tried out and if they go will be used the rest of the year.
BUNKER AT MUSEUM HAS
BIRDS FOR KANSAS SCHOOLS
Mr. C. D. Bunker, curator of the Museum, is uncertain about repeating his display of birds at the Douglas County Few next year because of the unsettled plans of the fair.
Our exhibit consists only of cases of the common birds of Kansas. These cases are sent out from the Museum to the schools of the state through the Extension Department. They have proved to be quite an attraction," said Mr. Bunker.
The cases, filled with birds classified according to the time they arrive in the spring, were formed into a wall display with the whole surmounted by a bald eagle. The display consisted of such birds as the rainbow crows, a sparrow, a pigeon, a pelowling, thrushes, and cowbirds. It is believed this display will encourage the protection of birds and the interest in this form of education.
SHORTY HILLMAN CHOSEN
TO LEAD SENIOR LAWS
The All-Barb Ticket carried at the senior Law election this morning after one of the most strenuous campaigns in the history of the school. The officers elected to serve during the election were John Shorty Hillman, vice-president, John Hamilton; secretary, John Donald; treasurer, Riley MacGregor.
WHITE HEROS NOW ON
KAW RIVER ABOVE DAM
The presence of white herons on the Kaw river is reported by Professor Dunlap. These birds are strangely black. We have seen them here this year by the damp weather.
A few years ago many of these beautiful birds were slaughtered for their aigrettes, but recent legislation has prevented their extermination by providing a breeding ground at Aisnee's Island, near the Louisiana coast, and by prohibiting the wearing of their plumage.

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 29, 1915
No Capital earns such interest as personal culture—President Ellot.
AFTER ELECTIONS—WHAT?
This is the hour of torn buttonholes, of secret meetings in students' rooms, of whispered, hurried consultations in campus corners. The Bug is in the air—the Bug of Politics.
Jim will vote for Joe if Joe will vote for Jim, and the Fly Jam vote goes for Jones on condition that the Eta Bita Pie vote will go for Smitha Class officers are sought and bartered today.
But tomorrow, who can say offhand who is vice-president of the juniors, or secretary of the sophomores? The spirit of the class will vanish in thin air.
How prevent this death of class spirit? Is not the best way to elect "live ones" to office, men who will develop a spirit of unity in the class, and conduct its activities consciciously, regardless of their political connections and alliances? For after all, in class politics, it is the man and not the ticket or the party who will do the work, if any work is done.
IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT
Friday night is the date for that first big rally. Now is the time to make dates—for that rally. It is to be in the Gym and there will be plenty of room for every student in the University. Men and women, singly and in dates will be there to give old "Rock Chalk." They will sing "Crimson and the Blue," standing. The band will play between acts so that we can get our break again for an "Oh me Oh my." And we'll be introduced to Coach Olcott and hear a little discussion of prospects. We'll get the dope straight Friday night. And that'll make the pep ooze for the game Saturday—and the formal event following in the evening.
"THE ROSARY" RETURNS
"The Rosary" has come back. Indubitable proof is on every hand. One has but to walk two or three blocks through the student district any evening to have the conviction brought home to him that "The Rosary" is the best seller among songs this fall. Pianos jingle it out with variations and perchance in improvisations. Violins wall forth its sad strains. The whole family of wind instruments use it as a 'vehicle for keeping the well known welkin aroused. Voices in solo, duo, and quarto with harmony so close as to be at times almost negligible do their utmost to intensify the pall of melancholy which is gradually settling down upon Lawrence.
It has been observed that the landladies of Lawrence encourage the renaissance of "The Rosary." Some have even gone so far as to purchase copies for the parlor piano. Just why is hard to determine. Some
pessimist has advanced the theory
assimist, has advanced the theory that it is because music of a sentimental nature has a depressing effect upon the appetite, but we hasten to reject this idea with scorn. Phychologists may later determine for us both the reason for the rejuvenation of "The Rosary" and the landlads' championship of it. Until that time comes the students will continue to "count them over" and to "kiss the cross", in tones varying from the basso profundo to the falsetto.
MORE TRAINING FOR BRIDGET
MORE TRAINING FOR BRIDGE
From Ireland comes the news that
the department of Agriculture and
Technical Instruction for the Emerald
Isle has established a training school
in domestic economy at St. Kevin's
Park, near Dublin.
The school is a residential institution, providing ample accommodation for students, in addition to class rooms and recreation grounds. The work of the school comprises two courses of instruction—one year in household management, the object of which is to train girls to manage their own homes, and a further two years' course of training for teachers of domestic economy.
It is to be hoped, however, that none of the proverbial, although possibly unscientific, goodness that always has come from the hands of the Bridget of old, will be lost in this reduction of a delightful art to a system of cold, hard, scientific training.
Vers Libre
L. E. S.
I think I shall write vers libre.
It is much easier to put down words without regard to the rhyme or meter. Than to spend valuable time making the ends of lines match.
Besides it is getting to be quite the thing;
If Arthur Springer and James Op-
menheim
Whose normal function it is to purvey viscetive conceptions to the public, can get away with it. And when viscetive with it but not money sharply.
Then why not ?! (This rhyme not intentional)
And even if editors will not pay me for it.
They may accept it upon payment of the usual advertising Rates.
So upon the whole I think I shall write vers libre.
STUDENT OPINION Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith. All materials will be entitled to publication (if desired).
POOR SYSTEM?
Editor Daily Kansan:
What is the matter with our library system at K. U. which makes it impossible for a student to get the books which have been assigned by his professor? It seems to be growing worse and worse. The librarians frequently do not know whether the books should be upstairs or down, or whether they have been checked out or lost. It is not unusual for the librarian to say, "I don't know where that book is. I believe the professor took it out himself," or else, "Why that book was stolen last year. We have had more trouble with our books being stolen."
I know of libraries at other universities with intricate systems of checking out books which is a little annoying at times, but at least it is worth trying to find the books from which he has to prepare his lesson.
The professor is an anemic gentleman who pores incessantly over books during vacation time and on summer days writes dreary papers about world movements that no one knows, but the catalogue clerk in the library.
Should a librarian when questioned as to how to find a book adopt the most agried air as though it were not her business to know about books?
The professors we have watched and studied in the summer vacation periods are the liveliest of sportsmen; lovers of the out-of-doors; tremendous hikers who傲热 off twenty miles before breakfast to attract a wholesome, healthy enjoyment of the pleasant July and August days.
Libris.

parts of the country, bring with them a national spirit that rises above a local spirit. Removed from home environment, the scholar sinks or swims, according to individual merit. Usually he swims—there are plenty to instruct him in the art of keeping his head above water. He gains strength and courage to hold his own against the world and reasonableness enough to respect the rights of others.
The college body must have standards also—high standards—and the pupil learns not only to be a gentleman at heart, but to act as one. He unconciously acquires polished manners, where before he only ousted good ones. And he acquires sharpness. And he acquires neither dead nor sleeping when he wins his degree, but acutely alive and ready for the fray of life.

EDUCATION FOR WOMEN
Time was when woman's chief training in life was about summed up in the ability to droop her eyelashes and manipulate the spinning wheel, Prisciella-wise, says the editor of Collier's. But it is gradually coming to be recognized that fitting women for life is something more than teaching her to do embroidery and telling her what to avoid. Women's education used to be negation; it has become positive.
"How to Live Completely. This is the great thing which education has to teach," thus Herbert Spencer is quoted by the prospectus of a school for women which aims "to fit them for life." This institution wisely considers that a number of elements go to make up that fitness. Hand in hand with the study, by theory, of philosophy, sociology, and political economy go the problems of motherhood and home life. Under the heading "Home Making: Domestic Engineering" are these subdivisions:
House construction and furnishing
House construction and furnish
Household management
Cooking, sewing, millinery

Recreation in the home.
With the college work just commencing we are again reminded of the speed of time and the amount of work to be accomplished.

The other day, shortly after a lecture had commenced, a belated student entered the hall and was welcomed by another student with "Shut the gate and sit down." The late arrival to the church, opera and dinner but it seems that he is more than ordinarily prevalent on the campus.
Another effect of tardiness in classes is the failure to keep appointments and attending committee meetings on time. Cooperation in all things means being there on time. Poor committee work is due to not being there on time, strict and "shut the gate" at seven minutes past the hour, and students should get up and go on the hour—Iowa State Student.
A clever mathematician could probably figure out that a total of 100 hours are lost in every twenty-four by the faculty and students on the campus due to somebody's not being there on time. We are reluctant to leave them as they are highly at fault. Many classes are held after the hour and many instructors and professors are too lenient with the late comers.

SPECIAL CHAPEL EACH MONTH
To Take Place of Regular Exercises at 10:30, as Held Last
Year
"The adoption of a plan providing for a special chapel, to be held once a month, does not mean that the morning convocations have been a failure" according to Prof. U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the Convocation Committee. "The morning convocations have been reasonably successful, but we need in addition, a monthly occasion when for special reasons everybody will make it a point to be present.
"A gathering once a month, attended by practically the whole University, would do wonders toward increasing among us, that unity of spirit which is so necessary to the accomplishment of anything really
worth while. The average attendance at daily chapel has been somewhat over a hundred; but we want to draw everybody."
The new chapel will take the place of the regular services, which were discontinued last year. The program for the opening service has not been definitely arranged, but it will be partly religious and partly "popular."
BLAKE STORAGE PLANT
INCREASED TO 120 VOLTS
The storage plant in the basement of Blake Hall is being increased this year by the addition of a new set of batteries, which double the power of the old set. The new batteries will furnish a maximum force of 120 volts. This can be used either in series or in full load, graduated to increase by degrees of two volts each. There will be a large amount of wiring and overhauling done in addition to these improvements. A new galvanometer will be placed in the general laboratory room, as there is no space for it in any of the other buildings.

Former Student Lends Museum an Interesting Collection From Barbaric Africa
Claude D. Brown,a graduate of the mining department who for the past two years has been doing paleontological work in Africa in the interests of the Guggenheim Syndicate, returned to Lawrence this week bringing his research into the University a valuable and interesting collection of African implements,
The collection, which is to be placed on exhibition, consists of various household utensils, quintely constructed musical instruments, baskets of woven straw, and hats made of beads and feathers, with much skill and ingenuity. The pictures and designs carved on some of the wooden implements are many. Among them are artisans as Artemisia for their chairs and stools, wooden images of barbarians engaged in the natural vocations of life have been carved. On the back of every chair is found an image of their medical
god which serves as a protection against any evils that might belfall them. The degree of skill shown in these arts is remarkable in view of the fact that the savages had the crudest of tools with which to work
Mr. H. T. Martin, assistant curator of paleontological collections, feels that such a collection would make a valuable addition to the Museum's curiosities, and is putting forth efforts to induce Mr. Brown to leave his implements here as a permanent loan.
At the summer convocation at the University of Chicago, on September 3rd, Professor Humble of the School law received the degree of doctor of law.
The tennis courts east of Hamilton Field have been put in first-class shape and are open to the use of all University students.

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.

Ober's HEAD TO FOOT OUT FITTERS
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.

A NEW BIBLE COLLEGE'
Convention of Christian Church May Decide on Such Institution
Whether a Christian Bible College is to be founded in Lawrence to succeed the old Christian Bible Chair at the University will be decided here next week at the First Christian church.
This question has been brought up before previous conventions, but no definite action was taken. However, it is now believed among the solons of the church that the time for action has arrived, and, in conversation with a Kansas reporter this morning, Dr. Braden of the University Bible Chair said, "We do not, of course, know what the outcome of the convention will be, but the prospects at this time are favorable."
Monday morning, delegates from Kansas Christian churches will meet in convention, and one of their duties will to be sanction or reject the proposition of locating a real Bible School in Lawrence.

Sorrows and trials of the past don't worry the modern red man much, it would seem from the trend of speeches by educated Indians at the first session of the fifth annual conference of the Society of American Indians, at Fraternal Aid Hall last night. Every speaker talked of the brilliant future in store for his race and passed over the dark phase of it's history. Optimism, tempered with a full sense of the responsibility of the work to be done, was unmistakably the keynote of the session. Chancellor Frank Strong of the University presided as chairman.
The opening address was made by President Charles Starkweather of the Merchants and Farmers Association, of Lawrence, and the keys to the city turned over to the visiting Indians. Mr. Starkweather said that Lawrence was more than glad to welcome these civilized "first Americans" and praised the city as an educational center. He introduced Chancellor Strong, who assumed charge of the meeting as its chairman.
"The University of Kansas is honored in having been selected as the place where the deliberations of the convention will be held," the Chancellor declared, "and its authorities are more than glad to do all in their power to make every session a success.
Other talks were made by Superintendent Wise, of Haskell Institute, President Coolidge, a minister and head of the Society of American Indians, Secretary Arthur Parker, of the society, the Reverend Rerd Clock, a Yale graduate and chairman of the advisory board of the Yale School of Blood Indian, a graduate of a college at Richmond, Indiana, and for the past twelve years a teacher among the Ute Indians of Utah, the Reverend Father Gordon, priest at Haskell Institute and Mayor Francisco, of Lawrence.
Each speaker pointed out his idea of how the work should be done and emphasized the fact that the young men and women from the Indian schools, such as Haskell Institute, should bear the burden of teaching the ideals of the society and do all in their power to make them realities.
Should Read Newspaper
Music was furnished by the Haskell band. The future meetings will be held in Marvin Hall and are open to the general public.
Manhattan, Kans., Sept 28—"No man can be a good citizen unless he reads the newspaper of his community," said Dr. John R. Macarthur, associate professor of the English language in an address before the students of the Kansas State Agricultural College.
Doctor Macarthur pointed out that the old method of disseminating news by word of mouth had largely passed, even in small towns, and that the newspaper was now essential to an understanding of local as well as national problems.

Plain Tales From the Hill
Blessings on thee, dear old Dad,
Finest one we ever had;
With the little check book blue,
Paying for the things we do.
With the tiny purse thinner still
From the weight of Knowledge Hill;
From our heart we bless thee, Dad,
And our need of thee is sad.
W. T. McGeorge, '12, says in a letter written to the alumni office, that he has been transferred from the United States Experiment Station at Honolulu, where he has been stationed the last three years, to the United States Bureau of Chemistry at San Francisco. Mr. McGeorge's address is given at Room 33, Appraisers Building, San Francisco.

"Kansas is worth watching," says Herbert Reed the sport writer for Harper's Weekly. He speaks of us as the "link section" between the extreme east and west and thinks that we will produce a different but better brand of football than at any time in the past. His explanation for this conclusion is based on the fact that Coach Olcott will have a chance to work out with husky material some of his advanced eastern ideas.
"Hungry" Howland, who won some distinction last spring as a Varsity track artist, explains that his inability to keep awake during his afternoon classes is due to the fact that he worked the past summer on the night shift of a threshing outfit and became so used to sleeping during the daytime that it is now impossible for him to break himself of the habit.
Frances L. Talbot, whose home is at 509 Tenn. St., is in the University again after an absence of a year on account of the illness of her mother.

ASSISTANCE FOR WOMEN WILL HEAR OPERA STAR
Many Scholarships and Loan Funds Available for Deserving University Students
Another contribution has been made to the loan funds at the disposal of University women by Mrs. J. B. Watkins of Lawrence. The amount is fifty dollars. There are a number of loan fields held by the alumni and students, most of them supported by alumnae and residents of Lawrence.
The following list of gift and loan scholarships will give a partial idea of the work done by Lawrence people. Headed by the latest gift scholarship of $50.00, established by Mrs. J. B. Watkins of this city, and open to freshman women, the gift scholarships are:
The W. S. G. A. scholarship of $100,
founded in 1910, to be awarded to
some freshman girl, for use in the
sophomore year. This scholarship is
supported by the fees of the members

proceeds of the May Fete.
The Eliza Mathews Innes Memorial scholarship of $100, founded in 1911, open to women in the College above or in class or to those in the Graduate School.

Mary Garden, one of America's greatest prima donnas, will open the University concert course Wednesday night, October 20, in Robinson Auditorium. The musical festival this year will be more elaborate and will present more great artists than any previous one in Lawrence. Great interest is being shown by the host faculty, teachers, and faculty members, and large returns have come in from the guarantors.
Mary Garden is the star of the course, and is an artist of acknowledged greatness. She possesses a dramatic soprano that is one of the best in grand opera. She has so far refused all inducements to appear in the "movies," in order to remain in her chosen work.

INFIRMARY IS READY
University Physicians Are Ready to Treat Ailing Students at 1300 Louisiana
Your two dollars hospital fee is now open and running under the direction of the University physicians at 1300 Louisiana street. Dres, Naismith, Smith, Goetz, and Sundwall of the University staff will have regular office hours in the building, and the student desiring attention or advice will be able to find one of them in attendance most any time of the day. Students should call in person or call 1601 on the Bell phone.
The infirmary building is a large modern structure which has been used for several years for a men's rooming house. The house has been entirely repainted and extensive repairs are being made both inside and out. The rooms and offices will be entirely refinished and made over into a modern hospital, and an efficient corps of nurses will have charge both day and night. Miss Reed will have charge of the attention to whatever cases come to the attention of the infirmary at the prescription of any one of the physicians in charge. The attention of a trained nurse at the rate of one dollar a day will be furnished to students confined to the infirmary. This also includes meals, room, and medical attention.
Attention at the infirmary is obtained only on the prescription of one of the University physicians in charge, although for the medical examinations and medical examinations will be made at the offices there.

Yell Master Announces Rally Plans—First Appearance of Olcott and Nevins
The first big football rally of the year Friday night, 7 o'clock in Fraser, Yelm master Joe Gaftskill has the plans practically completed for a rousing affair. A program has been arranged which includes the following numbers:
Tony James will be on the platform to tell the bunch just how the team feels and what they are going to do. Tony is free from liberty. Tony is some talker, too.
Music by the band. J. C. McCane will be there with his crowd of peace disturbers to add noise to the occasion and send thrills up your back with "Booa" and "Crimson and the Blue." There may be a bar or so of rag-time, too.
Manager Hamilton will tell about athletics in general and football in particlar and you can't afford to miss Hamilton's dope.
"Parson" Spotts, Kansas cheer leader in 1911-12 will put on the harness once more and will lead the roster to a Rock Chalk" as in the "good old days."
Coach Olcott will be there to get acquainted with the students and to make his first talk. He will tell how he would place and how the team looks to him.
Professor Nevin, of the voice department will also make his initial appearance before the student body and will lead the songs.
Professor Lorenz has been invited to speak and will be up there with one of those old fashioned "pep" talks that make things go.
Ladies are not barred and all "fussers" are invited to bring their dates up and make it a regular custom. New yells will be welcomed and tried out and if they go will be used the rest of the year.
Gaitskill is also planning on using more songs than has been done in the past.
BUNKER AT MUSEUM HAS
BIRDS FOR KANSAS SCHOOLS
Mr. C. D. Bunker, curator of the Museum, is uncertain about repeating his display of birds at the Douglas River because of the unsettled plans of the fair.
Our exhibit consists only of cases of the common birds of Kansas. These cases are sent out from the Museum to the schools of the state through the Department. They have proved to be quite an attraction,” said Mr. Bunker.
The cases, filled with birds classified according to the time they arrive in the spring, were formed into a wall display with the whole surmounted by a bald eagle. The display consisted of such birds as the rainbow bird, yellow penguin, thrushes, and cowbird. It is believed this display will encourage the protection of birds and the interest in this form of education.
SHORTY HILLMAN CHOSEN
TO LEAD SENIOR LAWS
The All-Barb Ticket carried at the senior Law election this morning after one of the most strenuous campaigns in the history of the school.

WHITE HERONS NOW ON
KAW RIVER ABOVE DAN
The presence of white herons on the Kaw river is reported by Professor Dunlap. These birds are strremest in this region and we should here this year by the damp weather.
A few years ago many of these beautiful birds were slaughtered for their aligrettes, but recent legislation has prevented their extermination by providing a breeding ground at Ainlee's island, near the Louisiana coast, and by prohibiting the wearing of their plumage.

AFTER ELECTION—WHAT?
This is the hour of torn buttonholes,
of secret meetings in students' rooms,
of whispered, hurried consultations
in campus corners. The Bug is in the
air—the Bug of Politics.
Jim will vote for Joe if Joe will vote for Jim, and the Fly Jam vote goes for Jones on condition that the Eta Bita Pie vote will go for Smith. Class officers are sought and bartered today.
But tomorrow, who can say offhand who is vice-president of the juniors, or secretary of the sophomores? The spirit of the class will vanish in thin air.
How prevent this death of class spirit? Is not the best way to elect "live ones" to office, men who will develop a spirit of unity in the class, and conduct its activities conscienciously, regardless of their political connections and alliances? For after all, in class politics, it is the man and not the ticket or the party who will do the work, if any work is done.
ITS FRIDAY NIGHT
Friday night is the date for that first big rally. Now is the time to make dates—for that rally. It is to be in the Gym and there will be plenty of room for every student in the University. Men and women, singly and in dates will be there to give old "Rock Chalk." They will sing "Crimson and the Blue," standing. The band will play between acts so that we can get our break again for an "Oh me Oh my" And we'll be introduced to Coach Olcott and hear a little discussion of prospects. Well get the dope straight Friday night. And that'll make the pep ooze for the game Saturday—and the formal event following in the evening.
"THE ROSARY" RETURNS
"The Rosary" has come back. Indubitable proof is on every hand. One has but to walk two or three blocks through the student district any evening to have the conviction brought home to him that "The Rosary" is the best seller among songs this fall. Pianos jingle it out with variations and perchance in improvisations. Violins wall forth its sad strains. The whole family of wind instruments use it as a vehicle for keeping the well known welkin aroused. Vices in solo, duo, and quarto with harmony so close as to be at times almost negligible do their utmost to understand the pall of melancholy which is gradually settling down upon Lawrence.
It has been observed that the land-ladies of Lawrence encourage the renaissance of "The Rosary." Some have even gone so far as to purchase copies for the parlor piano. Just why is hard to determine. Some
pessimist has advanced the theory that it is because music of a sentimental nature has a depressing effect upon the applique, but we hasten to reject this idea with scorn. Phychoologists may later determine for us both the reason for the rejuvenation of "The Rosary" and the landladies' championship of it. Until that time comes the students will continue to "count them over" and to "kiss the cross," in tones varying from the basso profundo to the falsetto.
MORE TRAINING FOR BRIDGE
From Ireland comes the news that the department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction for the Emerald Isle has established a training school in domestic economy at St. Kevin's Park, near Dublin.
The school is a residential institution, providing ample accommodation for students, in addition to class rooms and recreation grounds. The work of the school comprises two courses of instruction—one year in household management, the object of which is to train girls to manage their own homes, and a further two years' course of training for teachers of domestic economy.
It is to be hoped, however, that none of the proverbial, although possibly unscientific, goodness that always has come from the hands of the Bridget of old, will be lost in this reduction of a delightful art to a system of cold, hard, scientific training.

POOR SYSTEM?
Editor Daily Kansan:
I know of libraries at other universities with intricate systems of checking out books which is a little annoying at times, but at least the books are available in trying to find the books from which he has to prepare his lesson.
What is the matter with our library system at K. U, which makes it impossible for a student to get the books which have been assigned by his professor? It seems to be growing worse and worse. The librarians frequently do not know whether the books should be upstairs or down, or whether they have been checked out or lost. It is not unusual for the librarian to say, "I don't know where that book is." I believe the professor took it out himself," or else, "Why that book was stolen last year. We have had more trouble with our books being stolen."
The professor is an amicable gentleman who pores incessantly over books during vacation time and on summer days writes dreary papers with the same movements than he reads but the catalogs clerk in the library.
Should a librarian when questioned as to how to find a book adopt the most aggrieved air as though it were not her business to know about books?
The professors we have watched and studied in the summer vacation periods are the liveliest of sportsmen; lovers of the out-of-doors; tremendous hikers who敞 off twenty miles before breakfast to stir the atmosphere with a wholesome, healthy enjoyment of the pleasant July and August days.
That is the popular superstition.
But make all superstitions, it is not a reality.

parts of the country, bring with them a national spirit that rises above a local spirit. Removed from home environment, the scholar sinks or swims, according to individual merit. Usually he swims—there are plenty to instruct him in the art of keeping his head above water. He gains strength and courage to hold his own against the world and reasonableness enough to respect the rights of others.
The college body must have standards also—high standards—and the pupil learns not only to be a gentleman at heart, but to act as one. He unconsciously acquires polished manners, where before he only boasted good ones. And he acquires sharpened with an敏厉 deaf and dead when he keeps when he wins his degree, but acutely alive and ready for the frays of life.

EDUCATION FOR WOMEN
Time was when woman's chief training in life was about summed up in the ability to droop her eyelashes and manipulate the spinning wheel, Prisieella-wise, says the editor of Collier's. But it is gradually coming to be recognized that fitting women for life is something more than teaching her to do embroidery and telling her what to avoid. Women's education used to be negation; it has become positive.
"How to Live Completely. This is the great thing which education has to teach," thus Herbert Spencer is quoted by the prospectus of a school for women which aims "to fit them for life." This institution wisely considers that a number of elements go to make up that fitness. Hand in hand with the study, by theory, of philosophy, sociology, and political economy go the problems of motherhood and home life.

ON TIME
K. E. Leib, '15, chairman of the Stanford intercollegiate debating committee, will be on hand tonight to aid in the formation of a forensic club to be composed exclusively of Stanford women.
The other day, shortly after a lecture had commenced, a belated student entered the hall and was welcomed by another student with "Shut the gate and sit down." The late afternoon of the theater, church, opera and dinner but it seems that he is more than ordinarily prevalent on the campus.
Another effect of tardiness in classes is the failure to keep appointments and attending committee meetings on time. Cooperation in all things means being there on time. Poor committee work is not a good idea. The faculty should be more strict and "shut the gate" at seven minutes past the hour, and students should get up and on the hour.—Iowa State Student.
A clever mathematician could probably figure out that a total of 100 hours are lost in every twenty-four by the faculty and students on the campus due to somebody's not being there on time. We are reluctant to give them an answer when at fault. Many classes are held after the hour and many instructors and professors are too lenient with the late comers.
Stanford women have played in important parts in winning intercollegiate debates in past years, a woman being on every Stanford team victorious over California in '94, '97, and '00. Lately women have not come out for debating to any noticeable extent. If tonight's meeting proves a success and the club gets under way, debating for Stanford women is expected to become permanent—Daily Palo Alto.
Administration Building—A dream; the crippled child of the University campus; a whim of the Kansas state legislature; a cattle in Castle. Called by a freshman the "adversary building."

SPECIAL CHAPEL EACH MONTH
To Take Place of Regular Exercises at 10:30, as Held Last
Year
"The adoption of a plan providing for a special chapel, to be held once a month, does not mean that the morning convocations have been a failure," according to Prof. U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the Convocation Committee. "The morning convocations have been reasonably successful, but we need in addition, a monthly occasion when for special reasons everybody will make it a point to be present.
"A gathering once a month, attended by practically the whole University, would do wonders toward increasing among us, that unity of spirit which is so necessary to the accomplishment of anything really
worth while. The average attendance at daily chapel has been somewhat over a hundred; but we want to draw every."
The new chapel will take the place of the regular services, which were discontinued last year. The program for the opening service has not been definitely arranged, but it will be partly religious and partly "popular."
BLAKE STORAGE PLANT
INCREASED TO 120 VOLTS
Maude Bryan, sophomore, is back at the University this fall, after spending the summer attending the University of Wisconsin, and visiting relatives in Freeport, Illinois. She reports a very pleasant summer, but is glad to be back in Lawrence.
Send the Daily Kansan home.
The storage plant in the basement of Blake Hall is being increased this year by the addition of a new set of batteries which double the power of the old set. The new batteries will furnish a maximum force of 120 volts. This can be used either in series or in full load, graduated to increase by degrees of two volts each. There will be a large amount of wiring and overhauling done in addition to these improvements. A new galvanometer will be placed in the general laboratory room, as there is no space for it in any of the other buildings.

The collection, which is to be placed on exhibition, consists of various household utensils, quaintly constructed musical instruments, baskets of woven straw, and hats made of beads and feathers, with much skill and ingenuity. The pictures and drawings covered on some of the wooden implementes are many, but their way very artistic. As decorations for their chairs and stools, wooden images of barbarians engaged in the natural vocations of life have been carved. On the back of every chair is found an image of their medical
Mr. H. T. Martin, assistant curator of paleontological collections, feels that such a collection would make a valuable addition to the Museum's curiosities, and is putting forth efforts to induce Mr. Brown to leave his implements here as a permanent loan.

The alumni of Michigan are being asked to contribute one million dollars toward a new student union building.
The present Union at the University of Michigan has outgrown its 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 enclosure. Besides the usual 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:

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
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

The tea will be strictly informal. "We want the girls to drop in just as they come from their classes," says Mrs. Brown, "and party dresses will not be required."

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.

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.

CHICAGO AND OHIO U.
ADOPT BLACKMAR'S BOOK
The demand for the textbook, "Outlines of Sociology," by Prof. F. W. Blackmar, professor of sociology, and Prof. J. L. Gillin, associate professor of sociology, in the University of Wisconsin has been so great, following it's adoption by Chicago University and Ohio State University, that the first edition has been exhausted and a second announced by the publishers, the Macmillan Company of New York.
The book includes The Nature and Import of Sociology; Social Evolution; Socialization and Social Control Social Ideas and Social Control; Social Pathology; Methods of Social Investigation; and the History of Sociology.
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.
The meetings, which are being held in Marvin Hall, have been well attended. A large number of white people have been in the audiences. Additional meetings will be held tomorrow.

Plan Trips for Year
The first trip of the club will be to Topeka, on Nov. 12, where they are on the program of the State Teachers' Association Convention.

The two weeks' trip at Christmas time has not been definitely decided upon as yet but the managers, Paul Sautter and Harold DeBenham, are hard at work on it and promise it to be a good one.
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."

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate in the form of a go-farmer than merely printing the name on a university boiler; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; and to serve the university as ability the universities of the University.
THURSDAY, SEPT. 30, 1915.
"Education may be summed up as the wisdom to choose what is best in life and the ability to attain the best."
—Emma Townsend Wilkinson, in "Education."
TRYING TO "RUN" THE STATE Quite the popular diversion just now is to denounce the Municipal Reference Bureau at the University for "trying to run the state." It seems that the Bureau is doing this by acting as a clearing house for municipal officials, and by putting the resources of the library, engineers, lawyers, health officers of the University at the disposal of muyors and city officials of Kansas who are interested in something more than keeping their machines oiled. Then the director of this bureau, Mr. Charles H. Talbot, happens to be secretary of the League of Kansas Municipalities which is composed of public officers of 141 Kansas towns. This organization publishes a monthly magazine dealing with municipal problems. The last number contains an article on municipal ice plants by a member of the public utilities commission of Weatherford, Oklahoma, which is based on the operation of Weatherford's plant. Prof. H. A. Rice, of the School of Engineering of the University, has an article on concrete sidewalks. It deals with specifications and materials. A model milk ordinance drafted by Leon A. Congdon, of the division of food and drugs on the state board of health is printed. Then there are dozens of paragraphs scattered through the magazine giving the results of municipal experiments in different parts of the country.
Now this is the way Mr. Talbot is "running the state." He and the conscientious city officials of 141 Kansas towns are working on problems of modern city government. They realize that our towns are miserably conducted. They are not connected enough to feel that perfection was reached in the Middle Ages, and they are willing to admit that they can learn a few things by exchanging experiences. They are trying to educate themselves—and make the Kansas towns of which they are officers better places to live in.
That is the way they are trying to run the state. They are trying to run it so that it won't take half a dozen men a month to lay a block of sidewalk; so that a whole community won't be helplessly tied up in, a water franchise which can be renewed indefinitely. They are trying to do things—or rather trying to get others to do things with some approach to the methods which a business man uses.
. . . .
The University Daily Kansan does happen to be printed at the same institution or which Mr. Talbot is a member. But it is a student paper,
vertheless. No member of the university faculty has had the least influence in the Daily Kansan's attitude. This editorial is student opinion purely. No member of the University faculty has been consulted. The Daily Kansan believes that the attitude of an honest student demands that he keep his mind open on subjects of politics, and that support instead of opposition should be given anyone who is trying to improve the ridiculousness of American municipal government. And those critics who say that no economists outside of Kansas agree with Mr. Talbot might read the books of Frederic Howe or Prof. C. A. Beard, or any one of a dozen others which we students read in the course of a year's work. Talbot's ideas are very orthodox among professors of political science. His critics haven't caught up with the process yet.
HIS NEW CAR
Exit all sympathy for the poor underpaid professor. He now fies about in a shiny new car with white tires. He toots the horn with a cold smile as one of his students jumps briskly out of the way. No more does our professor pant and puff after a hearty lunch and a walk up the Hill. He faces his 1:30 o'clock class with calmness for he has come up in his new car.
The only hope ahead is that he will prefer riding around at night to grading out quiz papers. But the professor always shoves that work onto an assistant anyway—so hope fades away.
To Give Military Training
TRIBUTE TO CARL L. BECKER One of the most brilliant of the younger historians in the United States, Prof. Carl L. Becker of the University of Kansas, has prophesied that American history will shortly be rewritten along economic lines.—Prof. C. A. Beard in preface to his "Economic Origins of Jeffersonian Democracy."
Stepping into line with the leading colleges and universities of the country. Northwestern University has just announced the institution of a course in military tactics and allied subjects for the fall term, providing satisfactory arrangements can be made with the War Department for supplies and instruction.
This move on the part of President A. W. Harris, who is backing the proposed installation, is the first attempt in the United States to introduce such a course in a non-state college of the rank of Northwestern. With the increased agitation in favor of citizen soldiery camps and military training schools for the young men of the day, the move will no doubt be welcomed by officials in the War Department, and especially by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, who spoke so decidedly in favor of such institutions upon his visit to Illinois last spring.
Will Test Students' English
Will Test *Student*
An innovation of the part of the English department at Purdue University is to teach the annual freshman English test. The existence of such a test has been caused by the general man and attempted betterment of the English course at Purdue. It has been found that too large a percentage of college men have been allowed to graduate without ability to read, write and talk, which is expected of a college graduate. To correct this to a large degree the faculty has decided to grade every student only conditionally until he does comply with the standard of college English. To this end every freshman will be given a chance to show just what training he has had and what he needs, thus helping the department more easily accomplish their new purposes.
Governor Of all the material on hand, the most important punter who has yet appeared in Coach Yost's University of Michigan football squad has been Maurice Dunne, son of Governor Dunne of Illinois. Dunne was the sensation of yesterday's practice, the lanky youth sending long spirals down the field in a manner that indicated he would likely fill the place made vacant in the Walerine lineup by the loss of Splawn.
Governor's Son Does Well
A GOOD FEDERAL
The best "good fellow" in the student body of the University of Michigan will reap, in addition to the friendliness of his fellows, a $1,200 scholarship to be used in study abroad if the plans of the Michigan Union are carried out. This opportunity comes from the recognizing by the Michigan students that the knowing how to mingle with one's fellows is as important as the winning of a Phi Beta Kappa Key or a Rhodes scholarship.
A. "Good Fellow" Gets Paid

He fills with firm-wooded brown and dry,

A fund for the maintenance of the representative board will be raised during the campaign started for the million dollars to be used in the erection of the Michigan Union clubhouse. All the alumni organizations of the country are at work on the matter and a number of men are devoting all their time to the proposition.
The scholarship will be but one year's duration and will be awarded to the man who best fills the ideals of good fellowship for the creation of which the Union was established.
South Dakota to Teach Journalism.
Courses in the practical phases of newspaper work are to be given this year for the first time by the University of South Dakota at Vernillon.
The new department of journalism will offer work in reporting, editing, editorial writing, newspaper practice, current events and their journalistic treatment and the history of journalism. It is the plan of the department, when state funds become available, to publish a department newspaper and to found a university press to give the practical side of newspaper and publicity work.

Swimming Records Stand
Swimming Records Stain
Vouchers for the swimming records established recently by Miss Olda Dorfner, of Philadelphia, and Miss Lucy Freeman, of Bath Beach, N. Y., have been turned in to the authorities and show no flaws, so the new marks undoubtedly will be accepted by the Amateur Athletic Union as national standards for women.
the performances of Miss Dorfner—50 yards in 30 2- seconds, 100 yards in 1 minute 9 3-5 seconds and 220 yards in 3 minutes 15 2-5 seconds—leave little doubt that she is now the speediest sprinter of her sex in the world. Miss Fannie Durack of Australia, holder of the lowest figures at the three distances, has never beaten 30 second for fourth and her century for fifteen times, a minute 6 seconds, and a 2 minute 59 seconds, respectively, were made in Quaker under ideal conditions, while the Quaker City girl swam in open and rough water, battling a current which cut the course at right angles. These differences might easily account for the slight margin in result

A singer who recently passed an evening at the house of a lady stayed late. As he arose to go the hostess said:
"Pray, don't go yet, Mr. Basso; I want you to sing something for me."

California Refuses Game
In reply to Stanford's University's invitation to the University of California to participate in a series of active football exhibitions on both campuses, the executive committee recently unanimously decided to instruct the secretary to transmit a refusal of the offer, on the ground that the practice games now being played on the two campuses offered a sufficient opportunity to compare the two types of football.
Stanford suggested that two series of games be played on alternate Saturdays, one at Berkeley and the other at Palo Alto. The Olympic Club would be the common competitor, the two rugby teams playing one half of their games, then the field for American teams taking the field for the first of the games. The second halves of the games the following week on the other campus would be played in the same manner—Daily Californian.

Archy Grady, K. U's crack long distance runner of last year is now somewhat troubled by a broken down arch in one foot. The injury occurred last year at the end of the season, and consequently did not trouble Grady during the meets of last spring, but in the summer the foot was strained a time or two, and now Grady is somewhat concerned.

Plain Tales From the Hill
Clarence Castle, a Rhodes scholar from Kansas, is having experience aside from school activities. He spent part of his Christmas vacation in the concentration camps in southern Engl. in June he began a tour of Europe.
After a visit in France, he was compelled to spend three hours in getting transports from Paris and to have his picture taken twice. While he was in Spain he tried out the Spanish that he had learned on Hill, and fortunately in Switzerland landed him at a Swiss fluently. When he returns to England, Oxford will be a nearly deserted school.
His sister, Majoria Castle, has en rolled this fall in the University.
Dear Minnie:
I am a young handsome youth.
I get a nickle a week spending money.
I see several nice girls here at the
University who drive their own cars.
I would like to meet them. How can
I get next?
Dear Anxious:
Show them the nickle.
Anxious.

Hey there, freshman: They are making paddles in Fowler Shoes!
With the football season only a few days off and the tortures of freshman life about to begin, one timid tyro vents his feelings as follows:
To be a senior swell
It's safe to be a special
But a freshman—oh that's—well
I'll finish it later.
If a good example has any force the students of K. U. should be an enterprising bunch. They have an excellent model of persistence and pluck before them every Thursday in the person of the small boy, Ralph Ulm, who sells the Saturday Evening Post on the campus. He supplies one hundred and fifty students with copies each week, averaging fifty cents profit a day. He is absent from school but half a day for his brother. He works Saturday in addition. He ranks well in his classes and says he doesn't intend to stop until he finds a place on the campus as a student. Besides being a high class newsboy, Ralph sings exceptionally well.
R. A. Hoffman, captain of the freshman basketball team in 1912, has been laid up for the last week with an infected arm. It has completely healed now and "Rube" will be out for the Varsity squad as soon as practice starts.
Ray O. Neal of Lawrence, senior chemical Engineer, has pledged Alpha Chi Sigma.

SHE'S A STUDENT AT 84
Mrs. Winship of Wisconsin at K. U. "to Keep Her Mind Young"
Will Study All Her Life
"I want to register for work this semester," said Mrs. Amy D. Winship, eight-four years of age, whose home is in Racine, Wisconsin, and who is going to school because of her belief in the fact that "study is the best way to keep the mind from getting distracted" as that as a result of her studying is taking younger instead of older and says, "I am determined never to grow old in mind whatever my body may do in advancing years."
It was an interesting, attractive face that looked in at the desk window of the Registrar's office about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, although it was framed in gray hair and the "sinner" eyes had seen more years. A number of years—perhaps three times as many, as the regular K. U. students.
She Likes Psychology
Mrs. Winship was referred to Dean Templin who talked with her regarding the studies she would pursue while here. She expressed an interest in psychology, sociology, criminology, and related subjects, and stated that she has been in almost every university from Johns Hopkins to Texas, either as a student or a visitor. She came to K. U. from the University of Wisconsin because she failed to find at that university, just the work she wanted. She has not yet chosen her assignment.
This old-young student received her inspiration at a lecture on psychology given during a summer session at the University of Ohio. For years she has been an ardent student of psychology and when a professor of the university invited her to attend a lecture on her favorite subject, she became so interested that she continued to go throughout the remaining summer session. She has attended college winter and summer ever since, specializing in ethics, philosophy, sociology and psychology, and plan is to continue to do so. She intends to devote the remainder of her life to studying at various American colleges and universities, comparing their educational methods, Vassar and Leland Standford are on her list.
Graduated From a Log School-House When Mrs. Winship registered for the first time for college work, her answer to the question, "From what school did you graduate?" was, "A log school-house in northern Illinois, 1847." She taught school at the age of sixteen.
There is no suggestion of deceptive about this interesting woman and she is a living testimony to the fact that her theories regarding study and age.

HERE'S THE POINT SYSTEM
Offices Student May Hold Are Limited by Student Council Ruling
At a meeting of the Men's Student Council last Tuesday night the point system, passed May 30 of last year, was one of the subjects under discussion. Power to enforce the rules of this system was referred in the latter part of last year from the University Senate to the Men's Student Council, and it was the business of this body at their recent meeting to decide upon some method of enforcement.
"When the eligibility of a candidate for office is questioned," reports Secretary Howard Adams, "we are simply going to take up each individual case and look into it. The reputation and character of the student in question will greatly influence our decision. We cannot lay a hard and fast rule that will be fair to all."
The men's point system as adopted May 30 of last year follows;
Number of points allowed: seniors 40, juniors 40, sophomores 30, freshmen 20.
Value of offices;
Page of choice
Student Council: president, 35

The Council decided that special students should be limited by number of points allowed to members of the class in which they vote.
in framing this schedule, the Council did not attempt to place a relative value on the various offices nor in any way to imply that the student with the most points is the most active or influential man, but simply graded various offices according to the time and effort required to give each the attention it merits.
ONCE ROOMIES: NOW RIVALS
Graduates of University Become Competing Druggists in Ness City, Kansas
Roommates at the University, but rivals in business is the peculiar coincidence that Dwight Egbert, '13 and Hubert (Kewpie) Taylor, '15, find themselves in Ness City. Kaplan is an accee of their activities. Both are pharmicals.
SHOW STRONG DEFENSF
Ebert,who has been in Hutchinson since his graduation recently bought a drug store in Nessmouth, it was his first preparations for remodelling it.
Taylor, whose father is building him a new drug store, says it is to be the finest drug store in western America. It will soon be ready for occupancy.
Both of the men realize the help that the Daily Kansan will be in their business and their subscriptions arrived one day apart. Egbert leaking.
Practice Game With Haskel Proves Encouraging to Rooters and Coaches
Miss Rhoda Hoopes of the English department is to address the Y. W. C. A, at Myers Hall, Tuesday afternoon at 4:30. The subject will be from Kipling's "I wish myself could talk to you" and I hadn't seen ago I could tell 'em a lot that would save 'im a lot of the things 'e ought to know." Miss Hoopes addresses to the Y. W. C. A. are very popular with the girls.
"The K. U. team showed a wonderful defensive for so early in the season, without doubt the best I have seen by a Kansas team in recent years. It was unfortunate that the field kept both teams from showing much on the team, but then satisfied with the results of the forty minute workout."—Coach Bert Kennedy, Haskell coach and former K. U. football mentor.
"Both teams showed very well for so early in the season. Kansas was rather handicapped by having both McMeel and Kabler, centers, on the hospital floor, who were offensive work of both squads ragged."—Coach "Beau" Olcott.
The long promised practice with the Haskell Indians finally materialized yesterday afternoon on Hamilton to meet them at a forty minute scrimmage.
Despite the slippery, treacherous field, caused by a drizzling rain, and the shortness of the practice, Coach Olcott's pupils were given a chance to show the best defensive work exhibited by a Crimson and Blue eleven for several years. The coach, Jaja Hawkers looked good. A coach's agreement prevented either squad from attempting to push over a touchdown.
L. Gillispie had made fizzles of his three tries. It was the first time K. U. had seen Andy in the roll of Charley Brickley but his success on his first boot, will probably mean his appearance in the near future. Indians also tried some kicking user drop kicks but none were a success.
The practice started with Kansas kicking off, and for a time with the Jayhawker second string men in the lineup, the Indians made good progress towards the Crimson and Blue goal line. Then the Olcottites were given a chance but not until several regulars were run in did the Braves begin to fall back with their great degree of speed. TheOffs showed was practically a toss up, Kennedy's proteges excelling in their spirited charging while Capt. James men had a more versatile attack.
The Indian's backfield men and ends proved a nemesis to the Olcott forward passes, but on the other hand the Jayhawker back field men particularly Fast made some consistent gains through the line.
With only about five minutes left both teams lined up twenty-five yards from the east goal and tried some kicking. One Kansas place kick out of four attempts was a success and this was a boot by Andy Groft, after
With Coach Kennedy's pupils taking the ball for the second time, in the middle of the field the four hundred Kansas rooters on the sidelines were given a bad scare when Captain Clements broke away and got through the entire K. U. squad including Todd, but failed to score when "Sleepy" Holt overtook him and downed him on the twenty yard line. Unfortunately for the Braves the play was "off side," for never again during their five minute's success in advancing it more than seven yards at a try.
After last night's practice, Coach Olcott announced that the Kansas lineup against William Jewell in the opening game Saturday will be given out tonight after practice. A "double line-up" with two men for each position will probably be announced as the coach himself is undecided as to what men will actually start against the Missourians.
The K. U. and Haskell lineup last night follows:
Kansas Haskell
LE—Heath, Wilson Williams
LT—Hammond C. Evans
LG—James, Palkowsky Timothy
C—McMeel, Kabler Stover
LG—Ruble Deer, Kalama
LT—Strother, Reber Campbell
LE—Reber, Smith Batiste
Q—Wood, Todd Wilson
LH—Fast, L. Gillispie McCloskey
RH—Holt Clements
The examination of "Pete" Reedy's hand yesterday by Dr. James Naismith, University physician, showed that there is a small bone fractured in the back of his hand. The injury will keep him from the lineup for several weeks.
BASKETBALL MAKES BOW
Thirty Turn Out for Varsity Practice—Only Two Letter Men in School
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Basketball started out with a rush last night with thirty Varsity men and thirty-eight freshmen trying for positions. Only part of the men were out in suits and the practice consisted in nothing more than a light workout in shooting baskets.
The lack of first string men back this year opens the way for many of the freshman squad of last year. Dutch Appel, forward, and "Slats" Cole, center, are the only men out who have made their letter in the sport. The development of another championship team will require some hard work. Lefty Sproull, captain 1914, will have charge of the men this year when Manager Hamilton has to look after football interests and will be the regular coach of the first year men.
A large number of men are expected to appear for practice next week who did not report for the first meeting last night.

Should SEND to Names?
There are still about twenty-five bogus house numbers on the subscription books of the Daily Kansan and some kicks that are coming into the mail, but to an incorrect address.

Irregularities in the accounts of the Bell Memorial hospital at Rosedale are being investigated in the office of the state accountant, J. E. Caton, at Topeka. Mr. Caton expects to make 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 been graduated. About that time the state auditor, W. E. Davis, found charges against the state which he considered irregular, and after a conference with the attorney general, the investigation was complete by mid-september 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 each week, and required daily reports 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
Two candidates' petitions were rejected by the committee an eligibility this morning on grounds on insufficient hours. Examination of the registrar's books revealed that Claudia 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.
Lucien Dyche, candidate for the editorship of the Jayhawker, was likewise found deficient in credits. The missed being a junior by an hour
Although vigorous protests were made by friends of the disappointed candidates, the eligibility committee stood firm. "We looked into the mat-tries before taking action," said Howard Armstrong. "I commission this noon," and we could not see anything else to do but reject the petitions."
NUMBER 14
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
PURPOSE OF STACK ROOM
UNIVERSITY OF KAJSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTE MBER 30, 1915.
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 can be stored with 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. Under such conditions these students are permitted to use the stacks.
Students desiring to use the stocks must first sign their names to a list of rules, agreeing not to carry away them in transportation, 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 reference to the date rule. We do not propose to interfere with an affair that belongs to the men alone. If the men dances 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."
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. The tea will be strictly informal. "We want the girls to drop in just as they come from their classes," says Mrs. Brown, "end party dresses will not be required."
FRESHMAN TEA HELD
FRIDAY IN FRASER HALL
Refreshments will be served by the following sophomores: Misses Elizabeth Bland, Joyce Brown, Emily Kubik, Jennifer Dickerson, Florence Ingram, Julia Kennedy, Kathleen Carne, Kristina Kubik. The sororities will have as representatives Misses Katherine Johnson, Kappa Alpha Theta; Alice Davis, Chi Omega; Bingen Lingentef, sigma Kappa; Josephine Gillett, Alpha Phi; Pike Charlotte Houston, Pi Delta Phi; Pike Fostergary, Kappa Kappa Gamma; and Opa Palmer. These organizations will have as their representatives Misses Marion Joseph, Alemani; and Sara Prant, Knug Club.

An interesting collection of fossils arrived this week for the geological museum. One fine selection from Harvard, and one-from the Canadian Geological Survey are of especial value.
The decorations. will be in yellow and white, and are to be arranged by the members of the Knigh Club. The members of in carrying out the color scheme.
A Correction
Professor Haworth has received a sample of shale taken from the bottom of a well 3,627 feet deep. The well is being bored at Buckland, Kansas in an attempt to find oil or gas.
The Daily Kansan wishes to correct its recent statement that Orden Jones is president of the College. The man who have used the name of Homer Herriott.
Women of the University want to get in on the Rally 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 to fill up the others.
PARADE PLANS COMPLETE THE STAGE IS ALL SET
Manager W. O Hamilton Announces Route for Grand Football Opening
"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 deans 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 Massachusetts street to McCook Field down this street to McCook Field.
Automobiles will be admitted after having been tagged by a large ten inch poster, providing the occu- pment of the admittance fee of fifty cents each.
CO-OP BOOK STORE BOBS UP
After an exciting contest in the School of Law this morning, the following officers were elected to represent the Middle Law class: Tom Mailio, president; Harry Harlan, vice-president; Kenneth Dodderidge, secretary; and Charles Griesa, treasurer.
Student Council to Consider Plans for Text Book Supply at Next Meeting
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.
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 freshes thought the paddling season had arrived.
Middle Laws Elect
After years of desires, resolutions, and more desires, on the part of the students and faculty, Leland Thompson, president of the Men's Student Council, has decided to push the idea of a co-operative book store.
Meeting
"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 spend some time seeing it comes up in our next meeting, which will be held Tuesday night.
"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 indicate that the increase in the enrollment ofiversity 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 any 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 on this, and we will seek some member of the student body or faculty, can supply us with a number of ideals which will prove beneficial to us in working up the scheme."
Candidates Work Feverishly I Last Lap of Class Election Race
Everything is in readiness for the big election tomorrow. The judges who will officiate at the polling places reserved for the different classes were announced this morning by the Student Council. Every man on the list has been notified and has signified his willingness to serve.
Friends of the thirty-nine candidates remaining in the race after the eligibility committee passed on the petitions are summoning all their energy for the final spurt. The last lap of the race is on.
Political excitement is at a high pitch. The leaders of the various parties are watching every development with anxious eyes, fearful least an unexpected event arise to interfere with their carefully laid plans. In the file of the student body is waiting for the momentous day with eager enthusiasm.
The polls will open tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock and sharp and will close at 3 o'clock.
Seniors will vote in the basement of Fraser Hall; junioris in Green Hall; sophomores in the basement of Snow Hall; and freshmen in the Cym.
The election judges, as announced by Landon Thompson, president of the Council are as follows: For the seniors, Alice Coors, Irs Elswick, and William Ainsworth; for the Juniors, Rose Ulrich, Constance Porter, Hervé Hardt; for the sophomores, Ray Rockwell, R. R.; for the freshmen, L. C. Foster, J. D. Casey, and H. Smith.
According to the regulations of the Student Council, students in the School of Engineering with at least 25 hours, in the College with 20 hours, in the School of Pharmacy with 26 hours, in the School of Fine Arts with 16 hours shall vote as aspirants; as juniors, School of Engineering, 60 hours; College, 50 hours; School of Pharmacy, 62 hours; School of Fine Arts, 40 hours and all first year Medics. As seniors: School of Engineering, 95 hours; College, 80 hours; School of Pharmacy, 71 hours; School of Fine Arts, 64 hours; School of Medicine, 26 hours. All graduate students shall vote as advisers; specials, as freshmen. All not classified above, will gather in the freshman election.
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.
Y, M. C. A. REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES OF LAST YEAR
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 positions and has furnished permanent placements to our four student. Odd jobs aggregating three hundred and thirty were secured.
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 "K" books sent out to prospective freshmen in the fall are always well received by the first-year men to be. Last year plans were perfaced for Biblio study classes, for religious meetings, for secular 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 George Woodward and C. Hillwell, Howard Mclett and D. Lupher. Two other members have either dropped out of school or have become ineligible.

Coach Herman Olcott will make his first public appearance tomorrow night at the rally in Robinson Gymnasium. He is on the program for a football talk, and will make a good one. Joe Gaitskill, the cheerleader, looks for the biggest turnout in the history of the University to greet the new mentor. He has promised to let loose some real live dope.
Rally.
Manager, W. O. Hamilton, Captain Tony James, Parson Spots, of cheerleading fame, and H. A. Lorenze are on for short talks also. None of them need any introduction to University students. Incidentally, Parson Spots will lead in a few Rock Chalks with his old time routine.
The managers of the college dance have announced positively that the festivities will not begin until after the dance. Joe Gaitlski wants the team to "dates" them with them, "Football is as much their sport as the men's," he said.
Prof. Arthur Nevin, the new in structor in voice, a brother of Ethelbert Nevin, author of "The Rosary," will lead the singing. Professor Bill Kramer, a professor in concert work, and will do much to better the Jayhawker singing.
CHICAGO AND OHIO U.
ADOPT BLACKMAR'S BOOK
The demand for the textbook, "Outlines of Sociology," by Prof. F. W. Blackmar, professor of sociology, and Prof. J. L. Gillin, associate professor of sociology, in the University of Wisconsin has been so great, following it's adoption by Chicago University and Ohio State University, that the first edition has been exhausted and a second announced by the publishers, the Macmillan Company of New York.
INDIANS' PROBLEMS ARE
SAME AS CAUCASIANS
Ray Drury, pre-medic, has pledged Phi Chi, honorary medic fraternity.
The book includes The Nature and Import of Sociology; Social Evolution; Socialization and Social Control; Social Ideas and Social Control; Sociology; Methods of Social Investigation; and the History of Sociology.
GLEEMEN ARE CHOSEN
That the American Indian must solve the same problems that confront the Caucasian族, 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.
The meetings, which are being held in Marvin Hall, have been well attended. A large number of white people have been in the audiences. Additional meetings will be held tomorrow.
Professor Downing Names Twenty-Five Successful Aspirants for Vocal Organization
Men Selected
After selection from more than sixty voices Prof. W.B. Downing concluded tryouts of the Glee Club for this year last night. Successful candidates will report at Fraser Chapel this evening at seven o'clock.
The following men were selected:
Pianist; Paul Eldridge.
First tenors; Harry Harlan, Harold DeBenham, Gola Coffelt, Ray E Gafney, Eber D. Jolly, Harry Cromwell.
Second tenors: Paul Sautter, Guy Waldo, Lawrence Winn, Chester Covey, S. Waite Mickey, George Berg, Olin E. Darby.
Second basses; Fred Pauch, John Gommis; C. R. Gelb, Joel Hething; W. J. Jordan, Jeff
First basses: Cameron K. Reed, H Merle Smith, Henry McCurdy, John Hamilton, O. S. Holmes, Dwight H. Mills.
"There has been a wealth of splendid material to pick from this year," said Professor Downing this morning, "But owing to the fact that the club is limited to twenty-five members, a number of good voices had to be used and all will be put on a reserve list and are liable to be called on at any time."
Plan Trips for Year
The first trip of the club will be to Topeka, on Nov. 12, where they are on the program of the State Teachers' Association Convention.
By an arrangement with the athletic boards of the two state universities of Missouri and Kansas the club will take the trip to Columbia at Thanksgiving time. On this trip the singers leave one day earlier than the rooters and put on a concert the night before the big game in Columbia.
The two weeks' trip at Christmas time has not been definitely decided upon as yet but the managers, Paul Sauter and Harold DeBenham, are hard at work on it and promise it to be a good one.
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 yesterday. "The thing had no meeting on the matter, yet I don't expect to favor such an exchange. Could certains staches 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. Interest in competing for the fifty director are requested to confer with Mr. MacMurray at his office in the basement of Green Hall.
PROF, NEVIN COMPILMENTED IN EASTERN MUSICAL PAPER
A statement which warmly recognizes the musical ability of Professor Nevin of the University of Kansas appeared in a recent issue of "Musical America." The reference is to a musical festival given in the latter part of December, the colony of artists at Woodstock, N. Y., by the trial 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."

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life and learn how to go further than merely printing the books by standing up to play no favorites; to be clean; to be full; to be courageous; to be more, serious problems to wiser heads; to have a better ability the students of the University.
THURSDAY, SEPT. 30, 1915.
"Education may be summed up as the wisdom to choose what is best in life and the ability to attain the best."
—Emma Townsend Wilkinson, in "Education."
TRYING TO "RUN" THE STATE Quite the popular denounce just now is to denounce the Municipal Reference Bureau at the university for "trying to run the state." It seems that the a bureau is doing this by acting as a clearing house for municipal officials, and by putting the resources of the library, engineers, lawyers, health officers of the University at the disposal of mayors and city officials of Kansas who are interested in something more than keeping their machines oiled. Then the director of this bureau, Mr. Charles H. Talbot, happens to be secretary of the League of Kansas Municipalities which is composed of public officers of 141 Kansas towns. This organization publishes a monthly magazine dealing with municipal problems. The last number contains: an article on municipal ice plants by a member of the public utilities commission of Weatherford, Oklahoma, which is based on the operation of Weatherford's plant. Prof. H. A. Rice, of the School of Engineering of the University, has an article on concrete sidewalks. It deals with specifications' and materials. A model milk ordinance drafted by Leon A. Congdon, of the division of food and drugs on the state board of health is printed. Then there are dozens of paragraphs scattered through the magazine giving the results of municipal experiments in different parts of the country.
Now this is the way Mr. Talbot is "running the state." He and the conscientious city officials of 141 Kansas towns are working on problems of modern city government. They realize that our towns are miserably conducted. They are not conceived enough to feel that perfection was reached in the Middle Ages, and they are willing to admit that they can learn a few things by exchanging experiences. They are trying to educate themselves—and make the Kansas towns of which they are officers better places to live in.
That is the way they are trying to run the state. They are trying to run it so that it won't take half a dozen men a month to lay a block of sidewalk; so that a whole community won't be helplessly tied up in a water franchise which can be renewed indefinitely. They are trying to do things—or rather trying to get others to do things with some approach to the methods which a business man uses.
. . . .
The University Daily Kansan does happen to be printed at the same institution of which Mr. Talbot is a member. But it is a student paper,
evertheless. No member of the University faculty has had the least influence in the Daily Kansan's attitude. This editorial is student opinion purely. No member of the University faculty has been consulted. The Daily Kansan believes that the attitude of an honest student demands that he keep his mind open on subjects of politics, and that support instead of opposition should be given anyone who is trying to improve the ridiculousness of American municipal government. And those critics who say that no economists outside of Kansas agree with Mr. Talbot might read the books of Frederic Howe or Prof. C. A. Bear, or any one of a dozen others which we students read in the course of a year's work. Talbot's ideas are very orthodox among professors of political science. His critics haven't caught up with the procession yet.
HIS NEW CAR
Exit all sympathy for the poor, underpaid professor. He now flies about in a shiny new car with white tires. He tows the horn with a cold smile as one of his students jumps briskly out of the way. No more does our professor paint and puff after a hearty lunch and a walk up the Hill. He faces his 1:30 o'clock class with calmness for he has come up in his new car.
The only hope ahead is that he will prefer riding around at night to grading out quiz papers. But the professor always shoves that work onto an assistant anyway—so hope fades away.
To Give Military Training
TRIBUTE TO CARL L. BECKER One of the most brilliant of the younger historians in the United States, Prof. Carl L. Becker of the University of Kansas, has prophesied that American history will shortly be rewritten along economic lines—Prof. C. A. Beard in preface to his "Economic Origins of Jeffersonian Democracy."
Stepping into line with the leading colleges and universities of the country, Northwestern University has just announced the institution of a course in military tactics and allied subjects for the fall term, providing satisfactory arrangements can be made with the War Department for supplies and instruction.
This move on the part of President A. W. Harris, who is backing the proposed installation, is the first attempt in the United States to introduce such a course in a non-state college of the rank of Northwestern. With the increased agitation in favor of citizen soldiery camps and military training schools for the young men of the day, the move will no doubt be welcomed by officials in the War Department, and especially by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, who spoke so decidedly in favor of such institutions upon his visit to Illinois last spring.
Will Test Students' English
An innovation on the part of the English department at Purdue University is to be the annual freshman English test. The existence of such a test has been caused by the general revision and attempted betterment of the English course at Purdue. It has been found that too large a percentage of college men have been allowed to graduate without ability to read, write and talk, which is expected of a college graduate. To correct this to a large degree the faculty has decided to grade every student only conditionally until he does comply with the standard of college English. To this end every freshman will be given a chance to show just what training he has had and what he needs, thus helping the department more easily accomplish their new purposes.
Governor Of all the material on hand, the most powerful punter who has yet appeared in Coach Yost's University of Michigan football squad has been Maurice Dunne, son of Governor Dunne of Illinois. Dunne was the sensation of yesterday's practice, the lanky youth sending long spirals down the field in a manner that indicated he would likely fill the place made vacant in the Walerine lineup by the loss of Splawn.
Governor's Son Does Well
A "good fellow" in the student body of the University of Michigan will reap, in addition to the friendliness of his fellows, a $1,200 scholarship to be used in study abroad if the plans of the Michigan Union are carried out. This upper-

A fund for the maintenance of the representative board will be raised during the campaign started for the million dollars to be used in the erection of the Michigan Union clubhouse. All the alumni organizations of the country are at work on the matter and a number of men are devoting all their time to the proposition.
The scholarship will be but one year's duration and will be awarded to the man who best fills the ideals of good fellowship for the creation of which the Union was established.
South Dakota to Teach Journalism Courses in the practical phases of newspaper work are to be given this year for the first time by the University of South Dakota at Vernillion. The new department of journalism will offer work in reporting, advertising, editorial writing and新闻 practice, current events and their journalistic treatment and the history of journalism. It is the plan of the department, when state funds provide available, to publish a department newspaper and to found a university press to give the practical side of newspaper and publicity work.
WORK
Alfred M. Brace, recently correspondent of the Associate Press, is to head the department.
Swimming Records Stand
Swimming Records Stanley Vouchers for the swimming records established recently by Miss Ola Dorfner, of Philadelphia, and Miss Lucy Freeman, of Bath Beach, N. Y., have been turned in to the authorities and show no flaws, so the new marks undoubtedly will be accepted by the Amateur Athletic Union as national standards for women.
the performances of Miss Dorfner—50 yards in 30 2-5 seconds, 100 yards in 1 minute 9 3-5 seconds and 220 yards in 3 minutes 15 2-5 seconds—leave little doubt that she is now the speediest sprinter of her sex in the world. Miss Fannie Durack of Australia, holder of the lowest figures at the three distances, has beaten 30 seconds for the dash, and her century and fuming time, 1 minute 6 minutes and 2 minutes 59 seconds, respectively, were made in white, under ideal conditions, while the Quiet City girl swam in open and rough water, battling a current which cut the course at right angles. These differences might easily account for the slight margin in result.

the secretary to transmit a

The second halves of the games the following week on the other campus would be played in the same manner—Daily Californian.

Plain Tales From the Hill
Clarence Castle, a Rhodes scholar from Kansas, is having experience aside from school activities. He spent part of his Christmas vacation in the concentration camps in southern Englewood in June he began a four of Europe.
After a visit in France, he was compelled to spend three hours in getting transports from Paris and to have his picture taken twice. While he was in Spain he tried out the Spanish that he had learned on the Hill, but fortunately in Switzerland he met an old acquaintance who returned to England. When he returns to England, Oxford will be a sexy deserved school.
His sister, Majoria Castle, has en rolled this fall in the University.

Hey there, freshman: They are making paddles in Fowler Shops!
With the football season only a few days off and the tortures of freshman life about to begin, one timid tyro verbs his feelings as follows: 'It's nice to be a junior. To be a senior swell I need to be a special But a freshman—oh that's—well, I'll finish it later.'
If a good example has any force the students of K. U. should be an enterpriser bunch. They have an excellent model of persistence and pluck before them every Thursday in the person of the small boy, Ralph Ulm, who sells the Saturday Evening Post on the campus. He supplies one hundred and fifty students with copies each week, averaging fifty cents per student. The school but half a day for his brother relieves him in the afternoon; and he works Saturday in addition. He ranks well in his classes and says he doesn't intend to stop until he finds a place on the campus as a student. Besides being a high class newsboy, Ralph sings exceptionally well.
R. A. Hoffman, captain of the freshman basketball team in 1912, has been laid up for the last week with an inflicted arm. It has come to be known as "Brow" and "Rubus" will be out for the Varsity squad as soon as practice starts.
Ray O. Neal of Lawrence, senior chemical Engineer, has pledged Alpha Chi Sigma.

Mrs. Winship of Wisconsin at K. U. "to Keep Her Mind Young"
It was an interesting, attractive face that looked in at the desk window of the Registrar's office about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, although it was framed in gray hair and the "smiley" eyes had seen more years—perhaps three times many, as the regular K. U. students.
"I want to register for work this semester," said Mrs. Amy D. Winship, eight-four years of age, whose home is in Racine, Wisconsin, and who is going to school because of her belief in the fact that "study is the best way to keep the mind from getting stuck." She has a result of her studying she is growing younger instead of older_and says, "I am determined never to grow old in mind whatever my body may do in advancing years."
She Likes Psychology
Mrs. Winship was referred to Dean Templin who talked with her regarding the studies she would pursue while here. She expressed an interest in psychology, sociology, criminology, and related subjects, and stated that she has been in almost every university from Johns Hopkins to Texas, either as a student or a visitor. She came to K. U. from the University of Wisconsin because she failed to find at that university, just the work she wanted. She has not yet chosen her assignment.
Will Study All Her Life
This old-young student received her inspiration at a lecture on psychology given during a summer session at the University of Ohio. For years she has been an ardent student of psychology and when a professor of the university invited her to attend a lecture on her favorite subject, she became so interested that she continued to go throughout the remaining summer session. She has attended college winter and summer ever since, specializing in ethics, philosophy, sociology and psychology, and shephan is to continue to do. She intends to devote the remainder of her life to studying at various American colleges and universities, comparing their educational methods. Vassar and Leland Standford are on her list.
Graduated From a Log School-House When Mrs. Winship registered for the first time for college work, her answer to the question, "From what school did you graduate?" was, "A tog school-house in northern Illinois, 1847." She taught school at the age of sixteen.
There is no suggestion of deceptive about this interesting woman and she is a living testimony to her theories regarding study and age.

Offices Student May Hold Are Limited by Student Council Ruling
At a meeting of the Men's Student Council last Tuesday night the point system, passed May 30 of last year, was one of the subjects under discussion. Power to enforce the rules of this system were referred in the latter part of last year from the University Senate to the Men's Student Council, and it was the business of this body at their recent meeting to decide upon some method of enforcement.
"When the eligibility of a candidate for office is questioned," reports Secretary Howard Adams, "we are simply going to take up each individual case and look into it. The reputation and character of the student in question will greatly influence our decision. We cannot lay g. card and fast rule that will be fair to all." The men's point system as adopted May 30 of last year follows:
May 30 of May-June
Number of points allowed: seniors
40, juniors 40, sophomores 30, freshmen
20.

The Council decided that special students should be limited by number of points allowed to members of the class in which they vote.
In framing this schedule, the Council did not attempt to place a relative value on the various offices nor in any way to imply that the student with the most points is the winner. We simply graded various offices according to the time and effort required to give each the attention it merits.

Practice Game With Hasket Proves Encouraging to Rooters and Coaches
Miss Rhoda Hoopes of the English department is to address the W. Y, C. A. at Myers Hall, Tuesday afternoon at 4:30. The subject will be from Kipling's "I wish myself could talk to my self as I lie low" years ago; I would call it that would save it like lot of the things 'e ought to know." Miss Hoopes addresses to the Y. W, C. A. are very popular with the girls.
Both of the men realize the help that the Daily Kansan will be in their business and their subscriptions arrived one day apart. Egbert leading.
"The K. U, team showed a wonderful defensive for so early in the season, without doubt the best I have seen by a Kansas team in recent years. It was unfortunate that the field kept both teams showing much improved defensive for more than satisfied with the results of the forty minute workout."—C coach Bert Kennedy, Haskell coach and former K. U. football mentor.
"Both teams showed very well for so early in the season. Kansas was rather handicapped by having both McMeel and Kabler, centers, on the hospital field. The offense worked offensive work of both squads ragged."—Coach "Beau" Olcott.
The long promised practice with the Haskell Indians finally materialized yesterday afternoon on Hamilton Field when the two squads met in a forty minute scrimmage.
Despite the slippery, treacherous field, caused by a drizzling rain, and the shortness of the practice, Coach Olcott's pupils were given a chance to show the best defensive work exhibited by a Crimson team. He also faced several teams with coaches ad- dressing him. Jayhawks looked good. A coach's agreement prevented either squad from attempting to push over a touchdown.
The practice started with Kansas kicking off, and for a time with the Jayhawk second string men in the lineup, the Indians made good progress towards the Crimson and Blue goal line. Then the Olcottites were given a chance but not until several regulars were run in did the Braves begin to fall back, with any great degree of speed. The offense showed by both teams was practically a toss in Kennedy's proteges excelling in their spirited charging while Capt James men had a more versatile attack.
L. Gillispie had made fizzies of his three tries. It was the first time K. U. had seen Andy in the roll of Charley Brickley but his success on his first boot, will probably mean his reappearance in the near future. The Indians also tried some kicking using drop kicks but none were a success.
The Indian's backfield men and ends proved a nemesis to the Olcott forward passes, but on the other hand the Jayhawker back field men particularly Fast made some consistent gains through the line.
After last night's practice, Coach Olcott announced that the Kansas lineup against William Jewell in the opening game Saturday will be given out tonight after practice. A "double line-up" with two men for each position will probably be announced as the coach himself is undecided as to what men will actually start against the Missourians.
With Coach Kennedy's pupils taking the ball for the second time, in the middle of the field the four hundred Kansas rooters on the sidelines were given a bad scare when Captain Clements broke away and got through the entire K. U. squad including Todd, but failed to score when "Sleepy" Holt overtook him and downed him on the twenty yard line. Unfortunately for the Braves the play was "off side," for never again during their five minute's possession of the pikinskid they succeed in advancing it more than seven yards at a try.
With only about five minutes left both teams lined up twenty-five yards from the east goal and tried some kicking. One Kansas place kick out of four attempts was a success and this was a boot by Andy Groft, after
The K. U. and Haskell lineup last night follows:

The examination of "Pete" Reedy's hand yesterday by Dr. James Nailsmith, University physician, showed that there is a small bone fractured in the back of his hand. The injury will keep him from the lineup for several weeks.
BASKETBALL MAKES BOW Thirty Turn Out for Varsity Practice—Only Two Letter Men in School
Basketball started out with a rush last night with thirty Varsity men and thirty-eight freshmen trying for positions. Only part of the men were out in suits and the practice consisted in nothing more than a light workout in shooting baskets.
The lack of first string men back this year opens the way for many of the freshman squad of last year. Dutch Appel, forward, and "Slats" Cole, center, are the only men out who have made their* letter in the sport. The development of another championship team will require some hard work. Lefty Sproull, captain 1914, will have charge of the men this year when Manager Hamilton has to look after football interests and will be the regular coach of the first year men.
A large number of men are expected to appear for practice next week who did not report for the first meeting last night.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Should Send Names to Kansan
A reception for all Eastern Star girls of the University at the Masonic Temple, Friday, Oct. 1. From 3 to 5.
There are still about twenty-five bogus house numbers on the subscription books of the Daily Kansan and some kicks that are coming into the office may be due to an incorrect address. It cost the carrier a jitney every time a kick is registered from his route and subscribers might bear this in mind and look under the door mat before calling K. U. 25.
The subscription list is nearing the thousand mark and all the names have been catalogued and routes worked out within the past ten days. The following have failed to turn in their correct house numbers and papers cannot be delivered until their right address is known.
Typhoid vaccination will be given Tuesday and Thursday from 4 to 5 at the office of Dr. Goetz. Women on Tuesday; men on Thursday.
