MASS MEETING OF GIRLS CALLED
TO PLAN FOR WOMAN'S DAY MONDAY.
Will Discuss Features of Friday's Program And Sing Songs—Classes Dismissed Early
LAWRENCE, KANSAS SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1911.
A mass meeting of all women students of the University has been called for Monday noon, to make arrangements for Woman's Day next Friday. Arrangements will be made at the meeting for county banners to be displayed at the women's chapel service, a song prepared especially for the occasion will be rehearsed, and other features of the program will be discussed.
Chancellor Strong has directed that all University classes in which women are enrolled be dismissed in time for all to be in the chapel promptly at 12 o'clock.
Indications are that the campaign for a woman's building at the University will be started off with an enthusiastic meeting which will be attended by five hundred women visitors from all parts of the state. The alumni committee in charge has received many acceptances each day this week from women invited to attend as county representatives.
The plan for erecting a woman's building by subscription has aroused interest all over Kansas. A number of unsolicited contributions to the fund have been received by the committee in charge.
Lawrence alumni of the University met at the city Y. M. C. A. Thursday evening and completed arrangements for the entertainment of the guests.

Today there are 172 faculty members, the area of the campus is 171 acres, and an annual appropriation of $472,000 is used for maintenance.
"But let no one think because of the great contrast between then and now that the University didn't amount to much in those days," said Mr. Foster today. "It was a great school even in those days and a big influence in the state."
Nearly twelve thousand students have had their registration cards "O. Kd." by Registrar Foster since 1899. He has signed his name to a total of 29,535 registrations.

The National Conservation Congress being held in Kansas City this week, has been ably represented by both the state of Kansas and the University of Kansas. Monday morning Chancellor Strong, Dean Marvin and Professors Haworth, Blackmar, Hoad and Baily attended the congress. That noon a Kansas delegation representing all parts of the state was organized. Doctor Waters of the Agricultural college was elected chairman, but being forced to leave Professor Haworth of the University took his place. A. W. Stubbs of Kansas City was elected secretary of the delegation.
The Honorable T. M. Potter, ex-relegent of the University was made chairman of the committee on resolutions for one section of the congress. Professor Haworth was made a member of the Kansas delegation on resolutions; This committee reports its wants to another committee of three, who in turn report their findings to Mr. Potter.
Tuesday morning a session was called composed of state commissioners representing almost every state in the Union and all the scientists visiting the congress. This session was not on the regular program and met in one of the rooms of the Hotel Baltimore. Engineers, scientists and commercial men of all classes were represented. Professor Baily was elected on the committee of resolutions. The meeting was called for a special discussion on the conservation of soils. Professor Haworth opened the meeting with a 30-minute address on "The Geology of the Soil." Professor Baily also addressed the meeting. The session lasted all day and before breaking up it was decided to make it a permanent organization. Next year the subject of "Water Supplies and Sanitary Engineering" will be taken up and discussed. This subject is in line with the work which the Engineering School is doing at present.
TRACK CALL ISSUED.

At the football game with Baker next Saturday there will be an interclass relay race and it is desired that all men turn out for the try-outs this week.

LIFE OF SERVICE
In Y. M. C. A. Talk Dr. Reding Emphasized Ideals.
At the regular Young Men's Christian Association meeting Thursday evening, Dr. H. Reding, of Lawrence, spoke to the men on "Ideals in Life." He said that one must have physical, mental and moral ideals in order to succeed. In choosing a life work the real ideal is to select the work in which you can be of most service to the world.
SCRIMMAGE WITH HASKELL TODAY
VARSITY TO MEET INDIANS
ON McCOOK.
Ahrens Will Return—Coach Sherwin Looking up Eligibility.
This afternoon at four o'clock Coach Sherwin will pit his tryouts against the braves of Coach Kennedy. The University coach is desirous of watching his men under fire and a meeting was planned with the Haskell team on McCook field in order to give light scrimmage work for both teams. It is the intention of the coach to use every tryout and an interesting work-out is expected.
The varsity team is light. The average weight, for the team is about 160 pounds but it is the intention of the coach to have at least twenty-five seasoned men and win his games by quickness and shifty attacks. The Haskell team is also light, the Redskins averaging but a trifle over the 150 pound weight. The practice this afternoon is expected to bring some development in the Jayhawker line-up but the coach still intends to use every man in the Baker game next Saturday. Coach Kennedy, the former Jayhawker mentor, has an abundance of green material at his command and expects to have a fast team for the first scheduled game with Tarkio on October 14.
Directory Will be Out Early This Year.
Coach Sherwin felt much better this morning. Last night he received a telegram from Henry Ahrens, who was in Colorado seeking parental permission to play this season, that his father had consented and he was then on his way back to Kansas. He will report for practice next Tuesday. However it is not expected that he will hold down the center position as Davidson is proving to be a valuable man at this place.
Students who have not verified their Lawrence address for the student directory, now in pressure requested to do so at the registrar's office without delay. This will make the directory more complete, and make it possible to have it come out sooner than in the past.
This morning Coach Sherwin had a list of names of try-outs and was inquiring as to their eligibility. Just whose names were on this paper he refused to divulge and the personnel of the future team is as much in the air as it was before. Yesterday was the second day of serimmae for the varsity and the men had hard practice for over an hour. The development of a backfield seems to worry the coach more than anything else and most of his time was spent in instructing these men in carrying the ball and in forward passes. The onside kick was frequently used and will probably be tried out more fully on the speedy Indians today.
