STAR IS WOOD
Supposed Meteorite Has Been Petrified Says Haworth.
The large black stone brought to Lawrence by J. A. Vaughn and exhibited as a supposed meteorite, is, as Prof. Erasmus Haworth says, nothing else than a piece of pefred wood.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1911
Prof. Erasmus Haworth said today, "I do not wish to dispute Mr. Vaughn's word that he saw the meteorite fall, but the stone which he brought to Lawrence is nothing else than a piece of petrified wood. There can be no doubt about this for I have never yet seen a meteorite of that description, while all petrified wood resembles the stone shown. If, as Mr. Vaughn says, he saw the star fall, I would explain the mistake thus: Mr. Vaughn saw the star fall but could not definitely locate the place it struck or it went deeper than he imagined. I told Mr. Vaughn that if he would go back and dig further he might locate the piece of star."
INVENTS "THERMOGRADE"
L. V. Redman Discovers New Heating Process.
An apparatus for gradually increasing the temperature of a substance while being heated has been invented by Dr. L. V. Redman, one of the industrial fellows, with the assistance of George Weith. The principle on which it depends is that while glycerine boils at 290 degrees, if water is added to it, the boiling point becomes a great deal lower.
Dr. Redman made a double-lined pot, hermetically sealing the walls except a small opening at the top. Through this opening is poured a mixture of 90 per cent glycerine and 10 per cent water. A pipe which can be lengthened and shortened at will is then placed in the opening.
The substance to be heated is placed in the interior of the pot, and heat applied to the outside. The mixture between the walls boils at about 105 degrees. Steam is formed and escapes up the pipe, gradually raising the temperature as the glycerine becomes stronger. When the mixture is about 99 per cent glycerine the temperature stands at about 165 degrees.
When asked as to the advantages of the apparatus Dr. Redman said, "I can turn the flame on under the apparatus and go away and leave it all day if I wish without being afraid of the temperature rising too suddenly. The speed of the rise depends on the length of this pipe. If the pipe is long, part of the steam will condense and run back into the glycerine.
"I haven't decided what to call the apparatus but I think 'thermograde' or 'thermogradient' would be the proper name for it."
The Scoop club, an organization of the professional newspaper men on the hill, initiated nine new members at the Beta house last evening. During a discussion of plans for the year it was decided that the club would put on a "Gridiron stunt" at its regular meeting.
Stag Dinners to be Feature This Year.
The club will hike to the Beerman farm in the country Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 1 for a stag dinner. An out of town newspaper man will be the guest of the club on this occasion.

$35 PLEDGED AT RALLY
The Tags Brought Out a Good Crowd.
Thirty-five dollars was pledged towards the support of Laura Radford, '94, secretary of the Y. W. C. A. in Calcutta, India, at the Y. W. C. A. missionary rally yesterday afternoon. The association has pledged fifty dollars towards her support and expects to raise the rest of the money among the members. All pledges must be paid by April seventh.
Five hundred yellow tags advertising the meeting were distributed among the girls on the hill yesterday morning and resulted in bringing out a large crowd to the meeting. The chief talk of the afternoon was made by Rev. Stanton Olinger, who attended the University at the same time as Miss Radford.
THAT GOLDEN SILENC
How Hamilton Surprised The Coach And White Bear.
Coach Sherwin and White Bear, the assistant Haskell coach, were sitting on the gymnasium steps the other morning. They were gazing silently upon the classical walls of the new administration building, when Manager Hamilton came forth from the gym and rudely broke up that silence which is so pleasing to an Indian and the K. U. coach.
"Have you fellows been here all night?" the manager asked. For reply he heard only the mooing of a cow in a pasture nearby and the rustling of the leaves. Probably Chief White Bear was thinking of the "happy hunting ground." Neither seemed to hear the question, for neither replied.
Failing to get an answer to a second question, Manager Hamilton shouted "7-11-62." With a start both of the ex-football players started to their feet with eyes alert and muscles quivering.
AFTER THE MONEY.
Student Council Will Collect for Union Building.
At a meeting of the Men's Student Council last Tuesday evening, it was decided to make immediate plans for collecting money from the student body for the erection of the Union building which it is hoped will be built soon.
A committee composed of E. A. Van Houten, Don Davis, and Geo. Beeghley was appointed to fix upon some scheme by which the students may be made to take an interest in the proposed building and by which they will solicit support from University friends over the state. This committee will have plans completed by the next meeting and active work will then begin.
A meeting of about twenty-five of the Missouri students was held Tuesday night for the purpose of organizing a Missouri club. The purpose of the club is to form an organization worthy of representing the state of Missouri in the University of Kansas. A constitution and by-laws are to be drawn up and a certain definite goal will be set towards which the club will work.
Missourians Organize.
Meetings will be held the first Tuesday in every month in Myers' hall. The following officers were elected: President Don Dousman; vice president Irma Goldman; secretary, Helen Degan; treasurer, Bulah Addison; sergeant-at-arms, Abe Goldman.
VARSITY READY FOR THE ACGIES
WEEK OF REST PUTS THEM IN CONDITION
Stuewe May Not Play—University Kansan Will Furnish Report by Wire in Chapel
Light practice work with lots of rest is what Coach Sherwin is giving his men this week. After the game last Saturday several of the regulars were severely cruised and these men are being given a chance to recuperate before the tangle with the Aggies next Saturday.
There is a great probability that Stuewe, the big fullback who played such havec with the St. Marys line, will be out of the next game. He has a weak knee and while serimmaging last night received a severe bruise which has resulted in a bad "charley horse." He is limping badly today and he will not be used in the game unless he is much better. Bramwell, who was struck on the hip during the last game, is better today.
The team will leave Saturday morning on the special for Manhattan and will return in the evening with the rootee It is expected that fully 25
will make the trip. Reports from the Aggie camp are to the effect that the Farmers will put up the best fight of the season against the Jayhawkers. The drubbing received from Nebraska last week has not dampered their spirits and "Beat Kansas" clubs have been formed and tomorrow night a monster mass meeting will be held in order to work up enthusiasm for the game.
Those who do not go to Manhattan may see the game in the chapel in Fraser hall by a direct wire from the field. The University Kansan will have a representative on the grounds and the plays will be flashed here and put on the screen. No admission will be charged. For several years it has been the policy of the Kansan to furnish reports whenever the team was away from home and in the Nebraska game two years ago their reports were just twelve minutes behind actual play.
TO GO WITH MEGAPHONES
Rooters Will Meet Tomorrow to Arouse Enthusiasm.
A mass meeting will be held in the chapel tomorrow night at 7:15 o'clock. Chancellor Strong will give his first talk this season on the football outlook. The band will play. The purpose of the mass meeting is to stir up enthusiasm for the game with the Aggies at Manhattan Saturday. "Every man who intends to go with the special train Saturday morning should be at the sing tomorrow night," Cheer Leader Dolde said this afternoon. "The band is going along and we want to show the Farmers how to support a team. All of the students who will make the trip should get megaphones. They can be purchased for five cents." The rooters and the band will meet at the Watkins bank corner Saturday morning at 8 o'clock and from there they will march to the Union Pacific depot. The special train will leave at 9 o'clock. It will return at 8 o'.
LaFollette Club.
All those interested in the organization of a LaFollette club are asked to meet in the chapel Friday at 12:15 o'clock.
