MARVINS' RECEPTION
"FAMILY" AFFAIR.
Minstrel Show and Glee Club to Furnish Fun For Engineers And Faculty Only.
To make the School of Engineer ing a "big family" is the purpose of the first annual reception to be given by Dean and Mrs. Marvin to the students and faculty of that school. "Engineers' Day" instituted last year was one of the most successfull "stunts" ever given at the University and will in time become a valuable custom to the University and the School of Engineer ing. The reception also is to be made a custom. To the Engineers must be given the credit for their "school spirit."
One of the primary purposes of the reception is to "initiate" the freshmen and make them feel more at home and better acquainted with the other Engi neers, and to produce a closer relation between the students and the faculty members
A program for the entertainment of the evening is being prepared by the Engineers themselves. The upper classmen will "put on" a mistral show in which there will be local hits on different students and professors of the Engineering school. The Mechanicals, Civils, Chemicals, Electricals and each of the other schools within the Engineering school will present a five minute "stunt" of their own choosing. Music for the occasion will be furnished by the Engineers' Glec club.
The program is to be prepared under the direction of Edmond Rhodes, the president of the Engineers, and the reception will be given in the chapel of the Engineering school Friday evening November 10. Only the students and faculty of the Engineering school will be present.
Wilson Club Met.
An enthusiastic meeting of the Wilson Club was held Thursday evening in the chapel A communication from Wilson head quarters was read in which the University club was congratulated on its work. A movement was started whereby Governor Wilson will be secured as a speaker at an open meeting to be given soon.

FROM MR. HARGER
To the Kansan:
To the Kansas:
My congratulations to the Journalism department on the regents' action providing for a complete equipment that will allow the students to accomplish all that they should in this work. It is the one thing most needed both for the department and for the advancement of the University's interests in the state. With the excellent corps of instructors and the Kansas spirit of the University students, K. U. should have the best college paper and the most valuable course in newspaper-making in the country.
C. M. HARGER.

GET BUSY!
Two weeks ago the Kansan announced that a prize had been offered for a football song. Up to date there has been but ONE song submitted.

WILL
SECURE UNIFIED SCHOOL ACTION.
Io Start Movement For "K"
Blankets For Squad—Any
President Can Call Meeting
At a meeting of all the presidents of the University, called by Ira Synder, president of the laws, held at the Phi Delta Phi house last Thursday evening, the first step was made toward the organization of a general University spirit. All of the class presidents, the presidents of the different schools and the presidents of the various branches of engineering were invited. Three important matters were discussed, the apparent lack of spirit toward the football team on the part of the students, a proposition to secure blankets for the members of the football squad, and a plan to unify the student body.
"The principle reason for the meeting was the apparent lack of school spirit," said President Snyder. "There has always been an excellent individual spirit among the students of this institution, but there has never been a satisfactory and continuous demonstration of unified enthusiasm. We decided that the most important thing to attempt at first was to develop a way of backing the football team, and for that reason we took it upon ourselves to plan for the rally of Friday morning. The faculty and the students gladly responded, and everyone says that it was the greatest show of enthusiasm that has been seen for years.
"It is not the intention of the presidents to usurp any power of the Student Council or class organizations. It is not a body organized with the purpose of passing rules. In fact it is not an organization at all. When any one of the presidents thinks there is something which demands action by the University as a whole he will call a meeting of the others and the matter will be acted upon."
"The next matter of importance was starting the movement toward securing suitable football blankets for the team. At the University of Missouri the school of engineering purchased enough blankets for the squad by popular subscription. It decided that by means of the organizations in the College, in the Engineering School and in the Law School we would be able to approach every man in the institution and request him to help his University by contributing something toward blankets for the team.
