OLD GRADS AT TOPEKA
Annual Reunion Will Be Held There November 5.
Change in Date of Teachers Meeting Will Bring Largest Crowd Ever at Banquet.
The annual reunion of University of Kansas alumni, which will be held November 5 in connection with the meeting of the State Teachers' association at Topeka, promises to be the most largely attended gathering of the kind ever held. The National hotel there has already received orders for fifty more beds than more beds than there are in the house, from teachers who will attend the convention, and the other Topeka hotels report a similar surplus of orders. The committee on arrangements will be taxed to its utmost efforts to find accommodations for the overflow in private houses.
Prof. E. F. Engel is in charge of the University banquet. He said yesterday that 200 plates at the banquet were already guarantee, and that he expected this number to be doubled if a general holiday is granted in the schools of the state for that occasion. Last year the attendance at the banquet was 180, and this was the largest gathering of University people ever assembled at the Topeka reunion.
The Teachers' association meeting, which is usually held during the Christmas holidays, will be held the first week in November of this year, and it is the change in date that will cause the increased attendance. If a holiday is granted over the state to permit the teachers to attend, they will be obliged to attend, whereas when the meeting was held during the Christmas holidays their time was their own and they could stay away if they liked.
Professor Engel does not yet know where the banquet will be held. He has let the contract for serving to a caterer who will also engage the hall in which the reunion will be held.

Vesper Services at Baker
Vesper Services at Baker. Professor F. W. Blackmar spoke at the vesper services at Baker university Sunday afternoon. This is the second service of this kind held at that school, but the large attendance and good music indicated that the plan in which, along with other schools, it has followed the University, will be distinctly successful.

Kick Column
Editor Kansan; I wish to file a vigorous "kick" against the policy of the Kansan in permitting the "down and out club," through the medium of the Kansan's kick column, to cast slurs and innuendos upon the members of the senior class whose stronger pulls enable them to bring down the grapes that the members of the "down and out" club, to a man, were reaching for but failed to get. University politics is rotten enough at best, without the downs and outs making spectacles of themselves as bad losers.
Yours for the grapes, WELCH.
Editor of the Kansan:
Has the University a Student Council any more? If it is still in existence why on earth doesn't it do what is expected of it and what it was established for? Possibly the psychological moment has not come as yet, was the excuse given at a previous time.
It was my idea that the council was to govern and act as judge and jury in disciplining the student body. Then why did they not handle this matter of the freshmen hazing? I have been told that the faculty went to the council and asked them to handle the matter and the council answered that since all the schools were not represented in the council it was best for them to do nothing. Now isn't that a good excuse for a body like the council to give. What is wrong? Are they afraid to do anything or are the men on the council slow and void of initiative?
If we are to have a council why not have one that will do th
If we are to have a council why not have one that will do the work expected of them?
Advocate of the Council.
DEAN NOT YET CHOSEN
Investigation of Schools.of Education Has Been Completed.
The committee appointed by the Chancellor to formulate a plan of organizing a school of education in the University will be ready to report in a few weeks. A dean for the school has not yet been chosen.
Professor Olin returned yesterday from a trip for observing and investigating the work of schools of education and teachers' colleges in universities of the Middle West. He visited the state universities of Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri.
In all these institutions the movement for the professional training of teachers is well advanced, and the schools doing this work are gradually taking the rank held by other professional schools. In priority of establishment and in some other respects the school of education of the University of Missouri has some advantages over other like institutions in the Missouri valley. This school was founded by Dean, now President Hill, about ten years ago. Not only is liberal provision made for the instruction of intending teachers in professional subjects, but there are well equipped high and elementary schools to afford opportunities for observation, experiment and practice.
The part of "Pish Tush" in the opera Mikado has been assigned to Ed White. This important place was late in being decided upon, as there was so much good material that contested for the part.

PAY $1.25 WEEK FOR BOARD
Eight University Boys Do Their Own Cooking.
Each Has Gained 2 Pounds in Weight Since He Left the $4.00-a-Week Clubs.
Eight of the boys at the K. U. house at 1336 Vermont street, have undertaken a novel project in the way of a boarding club. They have rented a room at 1340 Vermont street, put in kitchen furnishings, and dedicated it to the use of the culinary art. Here they take turns at cooking and serving their meals. The plan has been working for two weeks now and the supporters declare it a complete success. The boys have arranged a schedule for doing all the work themselves, and they recommend the plan to any students desiring to reduce their expenses and at the same time to find a boarding place that will seem like home.
Each of the young men, as it happens, has had a more or less thorough kitchen training under the supervision of a mother and the wholesomeness of the fare is proved by the fact that the average increase in weight for each of the eight members, since the club started, is over two pounds, an effect which each had failed to secure at the boarding clubs.
The cost of board under this system, will run from $1.25 to $2 per week, all told.
By their work schedule, the boys are divided into pairs and each is scheduled for five meals per week. The stewardship rotates. The neatness enforced in the care of the room would be a credit to many family kitchens.
The bill of fare varies with the wishes of the club members, and there is always an abundance of pinn, wholesome food, such as many of the "old grads", who are now prominent lawyers, doctors, statesmen and teachers over the state lived on when they went to the university, in its early days For the morning meal there is breakfast food, eggs on toast, milk toast and hot cakes. Only the dinner menu includes meat. Then there is steak, roast or boiled meat, with potatoes and gravy, apple sauce, bread and butter and rice pudding. At supper, fried potatoes, corn, tomatoes and fruit sauce are served.
F. E. Wells and John Shive are at present the club's stewards. The other members are E. C O'Roke, L. A. Baldwin, E. L Bray, L. H. Mosser, O. J. Swope, and James Bain.

NOTE THE DIFFERENCE.
between a "tired-out" suit that is shapeless and bedraggled, and the same suit after it has passed through our hands and received the new look which we impart to it. Shapeliness and neatness take the place of the "mussed" looking clothes they were when they came to us. And the change is not only effected quickly, but economically.
