Fresh Stunts by Freshmen.
643 freshmen have purchased chapel tickets. This is three and a quarter more than last year.
"This line," remarked a wise one on the way to George O's headquarters, "reminds me of the bread line after the San Francisco fire." He had never been out of Hogeye, Missouri before landing here in search of wisdom.
Night before last one of them phoned to a prominent florist in town and asked the price of floor paint.
"Oh dear me!" sighed one of the fair ones who will be a prominent co-ed by the year's end, "this hill is simply awful. It's just like Vesuvius. Such a long climb and so much noise at the top." The noise referred to was a certain faculty member telling embryo reporters what he has done and is going to do before the snow whitens the landscape of Mt. Oread.
ALUMNI FOLKS BUILDING.
Have Several Thousand Dollars Already Toward Building.
Last Friday evening the board of directors of the Alumni Association of the University held a meeting to elect officers for the coming year, also to discuss plans by which funds can be raised for the erection of an Alumni building on or near the campus. The purpose of such a building is to have a place for the Alumni officers and printing plant.
Thru the efforts of Mr. Flint, several thousand dollars have been raised but it will take sometime to raise the funds so that a building can be begun. The rapid growth of the association in the last few years promises to hasten the work.
The officers of the association for the ensuing year are: chairman of the committee, Judge J. C. Ruppenthal; secretary, Leon N. Flint; treasurer, Geo. O. Foster.
Football Saturday.
Next Saturday the K. U.- Emporia football game opens the local season for 1908. The Normalites were taken on for a practice game but the contest is likely to be a fairly difficult one for the Jayhawkers.
The Normal team has been training since the first week in September and may show unexpected strength. On the other hand Kansas did not go into scrimmage work until last Saturday, and with only a week for preparation can not show their real strength.
Republican Club Elects.
TO DECIDE TOMORROW.
At the first meeting of the K. U. Republican Club which was held today in Green Hall the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: E. E. Brookens, president; John Riling, vice-president; J. L. Emerick, secretary; S. L. Lashbrook, treasurer. A committee was appointed by the president for the purpose of conferring with the down town Republican organizations.
Athletic Board Will Decide Location of Thanksgiving Game.
Tomorrow the athletic board meets to decide finally where the Thanksgiving game is to be played as far as Kansas is concerned. Kansas City and St. Joseph have each submitted propositions. St. Joe has made the best terms, but the student body wants the game in Kansas City, and it undoubtedly will take place there. Kansas City is the logical place for the game. It is close to Lawrence and Columbia and it will draw a larger crowd of the alumni of the two schools than would St. Joe.
Miss Hyde went to Kansas City this morning to deliver the annual lecture for the Collegiate Alumnae there.
A meeting of the sophomore class will be held Wednesday at 12:15 in the chapel.-James Smith, acting president.
There will be a meeting of the Junior Law class for an election of officers for the coming year Wednesday at 12:15 in Green Hall.
Members of the Harris boarding club at 1345 Vermont secured a hay rack and drove out to Cameron's Bluffs, Monday evening where they ate picnic supper.
I don't hang them up, but will get your work to you in good shape. I don't put any limit on work but will take it as you call up. I deliver the work the same day I take it and that means a great deal to the students. My prices are the lowest in the city and you can not equal the service. Just try O.P. Leonard, the Tailor, and the man that runs the Pantatorium. 733 Mass.
Another Soft Berth.
A sixth industrial fellowship has been established in the department of Industrial Chemistry. It is to be supported by the Pfandler Co., of Rochester, New York, which is engaged in the manufacture of enamel lined steel tanks. The fellow will receive one thousand dollars per year and an additional sum adequate to the services rendered. If the work is successful the amount will be very large. The fellow has not been selected.
CAUSE OF MINE EXPLOSIONS.
K. U. Boys Make Important Investigations This Summer.
Under the direction of Professor Haworth, head of the Geology department, Wallace Pratt, Frank Brock and Harvey Elledge have been conducting a series of experiments this summer as to the cause of mine explosions. The state has spent $2,500 on the work.
Three classes of explosion have been investigated and valuable results obtained. The complete data will be published next spring as the latest and most original work on cause of mine explosions.

To Examine Food and Water.
Professor E. H. S. Bailey was in Topeka last Saturday conferring with Dr. Crumbine, secretary of the State Board of Health, concerning the work which the chemistry department will do with regard to the inspection of food and water this winter. Definite lines of work were arranged for and Professor Jackson will have charge of these examinations, devoting most of his time to them.
Course in Norwegian.
The aim of my course (two hours a week) in Modern Norwegian is literary. I intend to give an idea chiefly of Henrik Ibsen's literary activity and influence. We shall read at least two of his plays, one of which will be Peer Gynt. Bjornson's works also will be considered and one of his stories read. Consultation from 9:15 to 10:15 in German department room.
A. M. STURTEVANT.
The Chancellor's annual reception for new students was held in Snow Hall Saturday evening. Dr. and Mrs. Strong were assisted by several members of the faculty with their wives in greeting the large crowd of students which was present. Punch was served at two tables during the evening.

ENROLLMENT IS 2150
There Are Fewer Engineers This Year However.
Today the enrollment went up to 2150, more than 200 above the mark last year at this time. The enrollment in the school of engineering is not up to expectations at all.
Nearly every department is crowded for rooms and every available space is used for class work nearly every hour in the day. Professors, as well as students, run hither and thither endeavoring to find an empty room large enough to conduct a class.
