TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27.
Just before the first game of the season, students should be reminded of the great saving they can effect by purchasing student enterprise tickets. A generous buying of the tickets will help all the student enterprises and be a measure of economy for the purchasers.
The meeting of the student council, which has been called for tonight is an important one. The men of the council will consider means of effecting reforms in a number of senior activities which stand in need of reform. They have the best sentiment of the class back of them in their work
The results on the gridirons of the country last Saturday seem to indicate that this is the year for weak and obscure teams to make a showing against the eleven of the big schools which have had the headlines to themselves in previous seasons. The small teams may not be able to win in many instances, but they can hold their big opponents down to low scores
The chief cause of the gloomy football outlook at the University of Kansas this year lies in the fact that not enough men are showing sufficient interest in the sport to get out on the gridiron in suits and try for places on the team. By dint of urging, three squads have been secured for practice purposes. But there are still a number of players who have never gone near McCook field. The coaches should have at least two more squads from which to select their material for the team.
The awakening of public interest regarding the duties of public servants, which seems to be sweeping over the country, has its counterpart in the University life. The members of the various classes, who are about to select officers for the year, are thinking more carefully than ever before about what they may rightfully expect of the men they place in office. The successful candidates this year will not be allowed to forget that a definite service to the class goes with the office. The new movement, while it may seem to some a trivial matter, is important in the bearing it will have on University life, and still more so in what it promises the state later on. Every graduate of the University is expected to take part in politics. The part he plays is likely to be more ced
itable to himself and the school if he learns to "play politics" in a clean way at the University.
Set 'mid the violet spaces of dusk
On either edge of the Autumn day,
She sits and dreams ineffable dreams,
Beyond the effort of Song to say;
THE UNIVERSITY.
Brooding there on her open hill,
Brooding there on her open int,
With the purple rim of heaven around,
She dreams of the Youth that went to
her
From the plains of Kansas, myriad-
towned.—
Of the hundreds of children, pure- faced girls.
And  sturdy bronze-checked boys from the farm,—
And She gathers them in as a mother folds
The brood she loves, in her shielding arm;
For She only thinks of her childrens good
As they come to her on the speeding train
From smoky city, from flat-roofed town.
'Give me your sons and daughters,' She asks.
"And I will pour them full of my fire Till beyond the night shall reach their dream.
And beyond the day their soul's desire;
And I will make them women and men To carry the stream of being on Down the winding ways of a thousand hours
Down the winding ways of a thousand years
Through interminable vistas of dawn;
And I'll shape you fighters to fight the fight
Of Right undoubted, but left forlora"...
And Kansas answers and sends her Youth
From her thriving towns and her fields of corn;
And Kansas answers, for wise is She:
She gives of her Youth with a right good will
To the winding walks and the lifted heights
Of the Mother of Wisdom on the Hill.
—Hazzy Kemp
INSULT SISTER COUNCIL.
Woman Student Believes Men Tec Aggressive.
Editor Kansan:
I read in the Kansan the other day that the Student Government association had laid down certain rules governing class elections. Upon inquiry I find that the Woman's Student Government Association knew nothing of the rules until they were published.
It might be a little more courteous of the gentlemen at least to consult their sister organization on affairs which concern the girls of the University, and they should try to bear in mind that theirs is not the "Student Government Association," as they are often wont to term it, but only the larger part of that organization.
The different classes of the University are composed not only of men, but there are also 700 girls who wander daily up Mount Oread with the feeling of security that comes from the knowledge that their own student organization is watching over their interests. Now it occurred to me that the University men would be quite surprised if this association should enact laws which came to bear directly upon them, without so much as consulting their representative organization, and publishing them under the head "The Woman's Student Government Association Makes Rules."
Mr. and Mrs. Jesse W. Kayser, of Chickasha, Ok., have sent announcements to Lawrence friends of the birth of a daughter, Helen Elizabeth Kayser, on September 7. Mr. Kayser was graduated in 1907. He was editor of The Kansas for one year. Mrs. Kayser was Grace Muckle, and is a graduate with the class of 1907.

GATHER RARE SPECIMENS
Prof. Baumgartner Takes Party to Puget Sound.
Professor W. J. Baumgartner of the zoological department, headed a party of twenty-two University of Kansas students and high school and college professors to Puget Sound, Washington, last summer in search of zoological specimens. Fifteen of the party remained at the station, while the remaining members of the party cruised down the coast.
While only two barrels of specimens were collected for the University, especial attention was given to the collection of rare specimens. The best specimen secured was the skin and skull of a mudshark, which was taken in a net. The animal is about eleven feet in length and belongs to the lowest order of invertebrates. Its size and position in the animal scale makes it particularly valuable for teaching purposes.
Other valuable collections were made by Dr. Edmondson of Wash

NO MANUAL ART
Will Be Taught Girl Students This Semester.
The young ladies of the manual art department, who have promised to pound for their gentlemen friends a brass ash tray or a brass frat watch fob, will have to wait until the last half of this semester before they can make their presents. The new foundry department for the engineers will keep Prof. F. E. Jones too busy to look after the wants of the K. U. maidens.
The foundry work will substitute other courses except shop 1." said Professor F. E. Jones, today. "The freshmen and sophomore engineers have twenty-five hours of shop work during the semester and this will keep me too busy to take charge of the girl's manual art department. However, the girls will have a chance to do their work the last half of this semester and a half of the second semester. There have been many applications made by the girls who wish to take the manual art course.
The new foundry has been installed in the room formerly occupied by the power plant. It is ready for this term's work and in good running order. A large epuola furnace for melting iron, a brass melting furnace and other equipment make it an up-to-date foundry.
PLAN SWIMMING MEET.
University to Organize Team for New Sport.
In response to a communication from Jack de Roulae, trainer of the Kansas City Y. M. C. A., asking for a swimming meet with a University of Kansas team some time this fall, Dr. Naismith has issued a call for all swimmers in the University to try out before him with the purpose of entering the meet. Several of the members of the canoe club and other swimmers have already signified their intention of taking part in the meet, but the tryout is open to every student in the University. It is the intention of the Y. M. C. A. team to compete at Lawrence Washburn, Baldwin and perhaps other schools of the state.
The meet will take place in the swimming pool of the gymnasium and will consist of the following events: 25-yard dash, 70-yard dash, 220-yard dash, 25-yard swim on the back, 25-yard swim with knee and ankle tied, plunge for distance, and long dive.
Dr. Naismith is at the present time considering the advisability of procuring a swimming instructor and if the outlook is favorable some good man may be hired in the near future. Arrangements have also been made for improving the apparatus in the pool and making it possible for better diving. If the team here accepts the challenge, the meet will probably be held next month.
