Proprietor Bowersock was treated to a sample of the real thing last night in his fire trap opera house. Most of the speech delivered yesterday in chapel was repeated by the students in the gallery so that there could be no mistake in its application. The students who were in the upper deck of the fire trap asked the orchestra to play Boolo-Boola, but the proprietor of the antedeluvian house gave the orchestra instruction not to play for the students. He forgets that most of his patronage comes from students, and that it is not in good taste to expect everything and wish to give nothing in return. But when he tried to destroy freedom of speech among the gods of the upper deck last night he had miscalculated the task he had imposed on himself. With half a dozen "cops" trained to do his bidding he invaded the gallery. "Who dams up the peoples' water", Who makes the people live on rice and peanuts" were the endearing salutations with which the students received the advocate of the simple life for others. "The Devil" was the name of the play being produced on the stage last night but it was being played in the gallery with a great deal more reality. Since last Thanksgiving, when they were defeated by a very close score, Missouri has been carefully laying plans to capture this years annual clash with Kansas. Their schedule was made with that very end in view and in that matter at least they have a tremendous advantage over Kansas. On November 7 the Jayhawkers play Washburn, Missouri plays Drake; on the 14th K. U. meets the mighty Nebraska team, the Tigers will have an easy time with Washington; on the 21st Kansas journeys to Iowa City to meet Iowa, Missouri rests for the final contest. On Thanksgiving day the Kansas athletes will be tired out by the most heroic schedule of any team in the Missouri Valley, Missouri will be refreshed after the hard Drake game with the light game against Washington and the twelve day rest. Kansas will win, but under heavy handicap. The following Draughting Instruments are represented by us: Keuffel & Esser, Fr. Post Co., A. Aloe & Co., F. Weber & Co. Prices $3.50 to $20.00 per Set.

Frank Snow, son of the late Dr. Snow, gave an illustrated talk Thursday evening before the University Y.M.C.A. in Blake Hall. He showed various phases of life in South Africa, where he held a position on the Rhodesian Herald. Go to Fein's for your tungsten lamps and Electric lighting supplies. A motto for the University of Kansas: Discretion is the better part of getting appropriation. And now the girls have decided that they want to go to school and have formed a compact among themselves; in other words have sworn off and shaken hands on it, that they are to settle down and study. Well of course the result will be that the library will be a little more crowded in the evening and morning calls may become the fashion. The Kansas is not much in favor of rules made for the purpose of making people "be good," but if the rules the girls have made rest upon the consent of a large majority of the sorority girls they may be effective in correcting one serious fault in the social system here, which, however, is a common fault everywhere we have been.
