SPEND LESS FOR CLOTHES AT M.S.U.
BUT APPEAR AS WELL AS STUDENTS AT K. U.
Missouri Girls in Less Danger of Wearing "Flashy" Dress Than Those of K. U.
The graduate of an Eastern college, who contributed his impressions on the University a week ago, had a similar article on the University of Missouri in the Star last Sunday. Some interesting comparisons are drawn between the two universities. Some of the impressions follow :
When the hour strikes a double stream of students comes through the big doorways of the Administration building and up and down the stairs. Here is a thoroughly citified young man with derby, tailored suit, high collar, illuminated tie and a swagger. Here is another with battered felt hat, soft shirt, flapping trouser legs, thick-soled water proof shoes and a lazy sauntering walk. I am one who rejoices to see the soft shirt and the saunter in a college, but for those who like the other type Missouri has just as large an offering. As at Kansas, there are few who have the appearance of the back county. Those soft shirts and thick soled shoes are those of the city man on an outing, not of the backwoods. There are more men with a peculiarity in their appearance that makes you look at them twice than there are in more dandified Lawrence, but the rough edges in every case have been polished off.
The women are as careful about their appearance as those in the Kansas school, but these Missouri girls are not spending, on the average, as much money for dresses and cloaks. None of them come as close to the danger of being flashy as those at Kansas.
it takes no long study of the clothes and manners of Columbia students to see that they are not spending so much money (the average, of course, not the exceptions) as the sons and daughters of Kansas. There is nothing to indicate lack of prosperity, but the city is farther away, the local customs are stronger and better enforced. You see everywhere green caps, saffron caps and white—marks of class and department—and a number of cadet uniforms. You hear that none but an upper class man may stretch out on the terrace at the base of the six pillars to talk and smoke, and are told of the severity with which a freshman was punished who had his picture taken there one day last year when no one was around to warn him away.
Six hundred men—about a thirte of all the men students in the University—board at what is called the University Dining club, you learn. There the cost of room and board together may be as low as $2.75 a week and no higher than $3.25, unless the young man is one who craves extra desserts.
Most important of all there is a "something new" which already has great momentum. In one ivy-covered hall is a whole battery of typewriters is clicking all day, to teach the newly-discovered profession of journalism; and you hear much of that "short term course" for farmers, and of Josephine, a cow who is almost a whole dairy. Forestry soon is to be taught, you hear, and more attention is being given to the knowledge that is valuable to "business men." A few more years and Missouri's state school may be as changed as that of Kansas will be. And how a student would choose between the two, either then or now, is a problem far beyond the power of an impressionist.

Y. M. G. A. Employment Bureau Has More Positions Than Men.
PLENTY OF WORK.
"I find it hard work to find enough men to fill all the jobs offered to the University employment bureau," said H. C. Herman, general secretary of the Y M. C. A., Saturday morning. "I advertised for twelve men to fill odd jobs today and only nine men reported. Two of the young men secured permanent positions. Since school has opened we have found permanent positions for thirty-five students and have filled 125 odd jobs.
"There is plenty of work for any young man who wants to work his way through college. However, I believe it is a waste of time and money for any young man to come to K. U. unless he has money enough to put him through the first term."
THE PLAN MAY FAIL.
More Must Join Hospital Association to Insure Success.
At the annual canvass of the medical students for the Hospital Association last Friday,many new subscriptions were taken, but not enough to insure the success of the undertaking. The total number of those who have purchased tickets is now 232, while the lowest possible number necessary to pay the expenses of the institution is 700. The plan may fail if more tickets are not sold within a short time.
Those who purchase tickets are entitled to free use of the hospital when they are ill, and are also provided with a nurse. Board room, medicines and medical attendance, however, must be paid for. Any doctor in town may be called in case of illnes.
Will Color Buttons.
J. P. Trickey, who holds the H. K. Elston chemical fellowship in vegetable ivory, has returned to the University to continue his work. Mr. Trickey has been with the Rochester Button Co. in Rock ester, N. Y., for the past two months, where he studied the methods used in the coloring of buttons.
His work will be to improve these methods so that a uniform color can be obtained. The mani facturers of butons have trouble in not being able to produce the same colors at all times.

Chancellor Strong will leave this evening for Hutehinson, Kan., where he will speak tomorrow morning before the Anti-Horsethief Association. This association is the largest in America and includes young men about 21 years of age. At least 1000 delegates are expected to attend the convention.
Prof. C. E. Hubach still has an opening for fully twenty-five more voices in the vesper chorus. The first vesper service will be held the first Sunday in November and the chorus is holding weekly practices in preparation for it. The annual election of officers will be held at the practice of the chorus at 1:30 next Saturday afternoon.
