THE UNIVERSITY KANSAN.
NUMBER 10.
VOLUME VIII.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1911.
200 WOMEN WILL SIT ON PLATFORM.
ALL PLANS MADE FOR WO-
MEN'S DAY TOMORROW.
Line of March Will Form in Front of Fraser at Nine O'clock.
Complete plans for carrying out the program of the Women's Day and the entertainment of the two hundred visitors who will be the guests of the University tomorrow have been made. Committees under the direction of Miss Alberta Corbin have decorated the gymnasium and all plans for the meeting of the women visitors have been made.
At nine o'clock the girls will meet in front of Fraser hall and will form in the line of marcel according to counties. Douglas county, because of its large number of representatives, will lead the procession. Banners and pennants will be carried by the girls and the University band in full uniform will conduct them to the gymnasium where, at the regular chapel time, the exercises will be carried out. The lower floor has been reserved for the girls and no men will be allowed in the building, except in the gallery, until the girls are all seated. The two hundred women visitors will occupy places on the platform.
Mrs. Cora Pierson Hopkins of Topeka will be chairman of the meeting and will make a short talk on the "Building for the Girls." The University girls will be represented by Beulah Murphy, president of the Women's Student Government Association
will be discussed by her. Miss Alberta Corbin will speak for the committee that has the meeting in charge. Mrs. Frank Strong will speak for the association of the ladies of the faculty. The principal address of the day will be given by Mrs. Gertrude Blackwelder of Chicago who will represent the alumnae. Mrs. Blackwelder graduated from the third class of the University and is recognized as a great leader in women's work. At the present time she is doing much work among the women's clubs in Chicago. Mrs. W. D. Atkinson will speak for the women of the state on the subject of dormitories.
During the program there will be an interim at which time the song, "The Time Has Come," written to the tune of "Boola" by Merriam Smith, a sophomore in the College, will be sung. At this time the donations for the new building will be announced. The committee is asking for $75,000 and it is expected that a large per cent of this will be pledged tomorrow.
The exercises will conclude with a luncheon in the gymnasium at 12:30 after which the ladies will be taken for an automobile ride over the city.
TAFT CLUB ORGANIZED
Plan to Cut Down The Woodrow Wilson Sentiment.
A Taft club is being organized in the University and among the political thinking people of Lawrence. While no definite plans have been announced it is certain that the club will be organized and will begin an active campaign for Taft's re-election next year.
The local politicians expect to cut down the Woodrow Wilson element considerable when they get started to work. A meeting of the members of the club will be held as soon as the organization is completed.
DON'T WAIT FOR DATES
Only 300 Athletic Tickets Sold up to Noon Today.
The student body of the University is evidently not going to allow the entertainment of guests at the football game to interfere with its rooting, or the ranks of true fussers who are decimated. The sale of guest tickets, which admit a guest with the regular Student Enterprise Books, were but twenty-five up to noon today. The total number 300.
It is expected that with the approach of the Baker game there will be a greater demand for the tickets.
Scoop Club Elects.
"ROCK CHALK" AND "BOOLA" ON CAMPUS
The first meeting of the year o. the Scoop Club was held last evening at the Pi Upsilon house Prof. Merle Thorpe of the department of Journalism was present and a discussion of the future plans was held. Nine new members were taken into the club. They are: George Edwards, Wayne Wingert, George Marsh, C.Ray, Earl Potter, Bert Allen, J.W. Williams, W.W. Ferguson, and Oliver T. Atherton.
BIG FOOT BALL RALLY FRID
DAY AT 3:00.
Dolde Expects to Lead 1,000 Rooters to McCook—Band Will Play.
the biggest football rally in the history of the University is planned for Friday afternoon in front of Fraser hall. This outdoor mass meeting is to be held at the suggestion of Coach Sherwin. Cheer leader Dolde hopes to show the coach that the "Kansas Spirit," is on a level with that at Dartmouth and he is bending every effort to make the big rally the most enthusiastic and largest meeting of the student body ever held.
When the men congregate on the campus at 3:30 Friday afternoon the K. U. band will be there and "Boola," the "Crimson and the Blue" and other favorites will be heard for the first time this year. Dolde will use only the old yells and the old songs. After a short yell practice and when "the gangs all here," the cheer leader will lead the way to McCook field to show the squad that the student body is behind the team and intends to stay behind it through the season.
Chancellor Strong said in chapel that there are 1600 men to yell for K. U. and every one of that 1600 should be out tomorrow afternoon. Missouri rooters promise an ever-victorious team and it remains for the Kansas supporters to say what they are going to do to the "Tiger's Tail."
Coach Sherwin says the men are fighting on McCook and when the "Fighting 500" gets busy on the bleachers things will look bright for the Red and Blue.
If it rains tomorrow afternoon, the rally will be held in the chapel at 7:30.
A talk on his travels in Canada during the summer by G. M. Brown, '12, was the feature of a meeting of the Mining Journal last night in room 8, Haworth hall. During the past summer Mr. Brown did mining work in Manitoba and Alberta, and gathered some interesting and valuable information about that country which he supplemented in his talk with lantern slides and views.

WRITTEN QUIZ ON FOOTBALL RULES
IS SHERWIN'S INOVATION
IN KANSAS CAMP.
Scrimmage Last Night Showed Great Development in Team— Who Will Coach Freshmen?
A second scrimimage with Haskell last night showed a wonderful improvement in the playing of the Jayhawkers and after the practice Coach Sherwin really wore a smile. The woeful lack of team work displayed in the scrimimage last Saturday was noticeably absent last night and three touch downs and a field goal were made by the Kansas men and their own goal line was not crossed.
A written quiz on the first ten rules of football is on the program outlined for the football try-outs of Coach Sherwin. Last Tuesday the coach met his men in the gymnasium at seven o'clock and for an hour gave them the first chalk talk of the season and laid down the fundamental principals of the game that must be followed this season. In order to test the ability of the men in retaining his advice, he told them he will hold a written examination on the rules tomorrow night.
Coach Sherwin has spent most of the time this week in the development of a line that is as good on offense as on defense. The result of his work was plainly evident last night. Davidson is still being used at center but Weidlein, center of the freshman team last year, is showing great form on offense and Davidson may be shifted to guard. Welch McMillan and Burnham will likely be the other men to be chosen for guards.
Tuesday evening after the chalk talk the men were put through an hour of hard signal practice on the gymnasium floor and tomorrow night this will be repeated. The coach is determined that every man on the team shall know the game from every angle.
Ahrens is again in school and is playing tackel. Last night he was responsible for the drop kick goal and may be called upon to do similar service during the coming season. It is practically certain that he will play one of the tackles with Baird, Bramwell and Schwab on the other side. Price, Brownlee and Delaney are the safest bets for the end positions.
In the back field the coach has developed two complete sets of players and this combination will probably be used in future games. Heil and Wilson are the likely ones for the quarterback position. Tod Woodbury, Ammons, and Coolidge are a hard combination to beat. Kabler, Stuewe, Buzz Woodbury and Beezley are all showing excellent form.
Who will coach the Freshmen? At least forty men answered the first call Tuesday evening and Coach Bond put them through some strenuous work until he was needed for the regular varsity practice. At the meeting of the Athletic Board several days ago it was decided to allow Coach Sherwin and Dr. Naismith to choose the coach for the first year men. As yet they have been unable to find a man who will take the position.
Coach Hargis of the College of Emporia was looked upon as the most likely man after Putnam of Dartmouth had refused the posi-

WHEN IS A COUNCIL NOT A COUNCIL?
STUDENT COUNCIL RESENTS
GIRL'S ENCOROACHMENT.
Overrules Actions of Women's Student Government Association.
Just where is the dividing line between the Men's Student Council and the Women's Student Government Association? At the regular meeting of the Men's Student Council Tuesday evening this perplexing question was asked and at the present time there is no answer. The men insist that by right of priority and precedent they have assumed the regulation of all class elections and hence it is their right to act upon the questioned eligibility of certain candidates. At a meeting of the Women's Association Tuesday afternoon they assumed responsibility to act upon certain matters of eligibility and when the matter was reported at the men's meeting they arose in mighty wrath and said, "nay, nav."
At the present time there is no provision made in regard to the handling of candidates by the two student government associations. The men have always done this and they contend that it is their right. The girls maintain that one of the chief objects of the women's association was to regulate the election of the women candidates. At the present time things are unsettled and at the men's council the action of the women in the afternoon was overruled. An adjustment of matters will have to come before many weeks.
C. R. Nesbitt and P. A. Hiebert, representatives of the Graduate School, appeared before the council and attempted to explain away the reasons given them several days ago by the council in which they were denied a council member. Stating that a special dispensation could be granted them in the matter of election in the fall, and that in no sense would their representative be a faculty member, they reiterated their request and presented their signed petition for a mass meeting. Council members decided that it was necessary to have the proposed amendment posted at the same time the election is called, and at the meeting of the Graduates yesterday this amendment was drawn up.

MADE APPEAL TO MEN
Chancellor Strong Talked on College Dormitories.
Chancellor Frank Strong spoke in chapel yesterday and discussed the proposed woman's dormitory "We have many valuable institutions which older eastern Universities have not, but we lack one thing in particular which they have—a home for the girls." declared the chancellor.
The chancellor predicted that in twenty-five years, practically every state university would have dormitories, and he said that when that time came such institutions would be well rounded and not until then.
"There would be one hundred and fifty more girls here this year if we had this woman's building now," he said, "and this proposed movement must go through or future attempts for anything of the kind will be more likely to fail."
The chancellor appealed to the men in particular to get behind the proposed plan and make it a success. He thinks that co-education is best, but told the men students that many things could not be the same here as at men's colleges.
Wednesday's chapel was a sort of preliminary rally for Woman's Day next Friday.
