Nov. 3, Orchestra concert. Nov. 6, First Vesper Service. November 5, football, Nebraska vs. Kansas, on McCook. November 12. Football, Oklahoma homa vs. Kansas at Norman. Soccer, Baker vs. Kansas on MeCook. Nov. 24, Football Missouri, at Kansas City. Nov. 30-Dec. 1, Masque play "The Dictator." Dec. 2, Annual football ban quet. December 6, Glee Club concert At any rate we will know by Saturday evening whether anybody has been "playing possum" or not." There is no question that the football team is going into the hardest game of the year next Saturday. The Nebraska team is confident of victory and will be backed in its efforts to win by a large delegation of rooters. It is up to the rooters of Kansas to show that they are back of the team every minute of the game, win or lose. The Kansas spirit at its best can go far toward turning the tide in the Jayhawkers' favor While other championships are still in doubt, there is no question that the Washburn football supporters are the champion bad losers of the Missouri Valley. Real Politics. "What is politics?" The grimy and clear-eyed questioner supported himself against the garbage can on the street corner. It was election day and he had voted "right." His companion looked at him thoughtfully. He also had voted right. As his gaze rested absently on a passing cab with its miscellaneous load of legs, arms, petticoats and disheveled heads hanging out the window, he reflected that it paid to vote right. He took off his green derby hat and scratched his head. That question troubled him. It made him think. Thinking is hard work. "What is politics?" "Politics," came slowly and deliberately the answer, "politics is voting for them as stands by you and voting against them as does you dirt." He looked about him triumphantly. Soon the two disappeared behind the swing doors. Twenty years' experience—experience with real politics—were expressed in the definition. And it is a good definition—Colorado Silver and Gold.

Boynton has accepted the invitation of an advisory committee of Kansas City bankers to take charge of the lectures and discussions of the Kansas City chapter of the American Institute of Banking. The meetings are to be held every Tuesday evening during the months of November and December. Economies in Its Relation to Banking, Money, Credit, and Finance, will be the general subject under consideration. The Institute is the educational branch of the American Bankers' Association, which organization devotes a fund yearly towards its support. "Why I Came to K. U." H. C Herman, general secretry, will lead the Y. M. C. A. meeting this evening on the subject "Why I came to K. U." Each man presen- t will be allowed a chance to give his reason for being in school and telling what he thinks of con- ditions in University life. The paving on Indiana street between Warren and Oread, is completed. This new approach to the University is by far the easiest one, and will be used by many of the students living on the west side of the hill. Show your colors K. U. KansasvsNebraska Arm Bands.

October, 1910 was an unusually dry month, according to the comparisons contained in the monthly weather report, issued by the University.

The mean temperature, 58.34 degrees, is 2.07 degrees above the October average. The highest temperature was 86.1 degrees, on October 1st, the lowest was 22.4 degrees on the 29th.
