"THE ORIENT IS WAKING UP""---EDDY
Y. M. WORKER SAYS STU DENTS LEAD REVOLTS
Asiatics Have Factory Systems Government Postal Service, Cheap Telegraph Lines, Railways and Newspapers.
That the far East is now beginning a renaissance—economic, intellectual, commercial, industrial, and religious, fully as important to civilization as the western renaissance of three centuries ago, is the opinion of George Sherwood Eddy, the Y. M.C.A. missionary to the Orient who spoke in chapel Friday morning.
"The Oriental countries are waking up," said Mr. Eddy, "even China is becoming modernized. I talked to the leaders of the present revolution only a few months ago at Hangkow and most of them are intelligent students who are starting a great movement." Mr. Eddy says that many of the methods of government are an improvement over ours. India took a census of 300,000,000 people in a single night instead of several months as we do.
"Great coal fields and iron mines, as large as any in the world, have been discovered in the last two decades. Factories have sprung up, a great postal system, cheap telegraph lines, better railroads than we have and newspapers that are not of the sensational variety are among the accomplishments of a few years. Every country in Asia has forced a constitution, or the promise of one from the ruler in the past twenty-five years.
"It makes a great difference to the world whether these people, more than half the population of the world, become civilized as Christians or as pagans. The missionaries are converting hundreds every year but we need more college men, men who will be leaders," declared Mr. Eddy. "There is no place on earth where there is a greater field for doing good than in Asia." Mr. Eddy visited towns where only a few years ago, missionaries were beheaded but now where great missionary meetings are held. There are no Christian denominations in India, only one united church, the Church of India.
TRUE COLLEGE SPIRIT
Not to be Gained From Cartoons And Stories.
Prof. Merle Thorpe, head of the department of Journalism, spoke in chapel this morning on the subject, "What College Spirit is Not." The address was interanecdotes which kept the stuspersed with many humorous dents and the faculty in good humor throughout the entire chapel period.
"Caricatures do not, as a rule, portray college life or college spirit correctly," said Mr. Thorpe. He warned students not to get a wrong impression of college life from exaggerated pictures of book-worm professors, rah-rah college men, fudge making co-eds or any kind of keg parties. Magazines, short stories and novels also help to create this erroneous impression.
"Cheering is too artificial," said the speaker, "I like to see a good play cheered, no matter who makes it." "Don't cheer when the opposing side is penalized."
Prof. Thorpe said every school has a distinct atmosphere. The atmosphere here includes such characteristics as plain living high thinking and mutual help. We have a fine spirit and it is sure to grow.
In closing Mr. Thorpe predicted that the Nebraska rooters who seem to be sure that they will "wallop" Kansas in football this year, will be disappointed if every man will get behind our team with some true college spirit.
Bishop and Mrs. Hamilton were entertained at luncheon at the Alpha Tau house Monday noon. Bishop Hamilton is a member of the fraternity.
PRESS PRAISES K. U.
Topeka Capital Commends Offer of Engineers.
Following the offer by the regents of the services of University engineers to aid the utilities commission in ascertaining the physical valuation of railroads, the Topeka Capital said editorially:
Supported by general taxation, the University feels a responsibility as an "arm of the State" to assist the state in such of its work as requires scientific cooperation. The department of chemistry at the University has performed the chemical analyses for the State Board of Health ever since the new pure food and drug act has been in operation, and has saved the state expense while giving its scientific service. Incidentally the University has been of great service to some of the newer industries, as in the glass industry in Iola, by chemical analyses and suggested processes. Besides making a geological survey of the state, the University is engaged in making municipal water surveys. In many lines the University's scientific facilities make it useful to the state. It now offers its services to the Public Utilities Commission in its engineering department in connection with the valuation of railroad lines.
The leader in this sort of public service is the University of Wisconsin, which has a worldwide reputation for its public service work, as well as for its standards as a university. While many educators doubt the policy of diverting the energies of a university from its specific work as an educational institution into public service channels, yet Wisconsin's university does not seem to have suffered by this division of its activities. The Agricultural college of Kansas would be the popular institution it is, nor be as useful to agriculture, if it were confined simply to training the students who come to it. One of its broadest fields of work is in bringing the results of agriculture experiment and study directly to the farms.
A college or university when exists by virtue of state support is in a somewhat different position from the university privately endowed. The Western state universities are Western institutions. They are an experiment in democracy and something new. Their field is broader than that of the older private universities. Supported by the state, while their students are but a small fraction of the youth of the state, there is a good deal to be said for the idea that they should return to the state direct benefits which they have the equipment to do as a real arm of the state in as practical a sense as any other state institution. Chancellor Strong and the University evidently appreciate this view of the province of the state University. There has never been a time when the University hesitated to respond to any call made upon it by the state, but this is the first time, so far as we know, that the Chancellor volunteered the University's services to a state commission.
CANDY SALE IN FRASER
A meeting of the girls of the Junior class was held Friday in the chapel for the purpose of discussing plans for raising money for the dormitory fund. Nothing definite was decided but the girls will probably conduct a candy sale in Fraser hall some time soon. A large number of the junior girls have had considerable experience in the domestic science department and they intend to put their knowledge of the culinary art to a pecuniary advantage. Their concoctions are said to be the epitome of toothsome viands and they expect to make the boys an easy prey.

Prof. Bruno Kiesewetter gave an illustrated talk before the German Verein yesterday on the student life at the University of Marburg.
KANSAS EXPECTS LITTLE OPPOSITION
WASHBURN HAS DISPLAYED
NO STRENGTH
Team is in Good Condition After Saturday's Game—Coach Sherwin is Pleased.
While the next game of the Kansas schedule does not look very hard to the students and followers of the gridiron, the work in the Jayhawker camp will not be slackened.
"We will do the same work this week that we have always done," said Coach Sherwin yesterday. "The men will be given more teaching in the fundamentals of the game. They will use the tackling dummy and practice blocking and running with the ball."
The Washburn game at Topeca Saturday is not expected to be a stiff contest yet it is never forgotten that the Sons of Ichabod would rather lose every game on their schedule if they could beat Kansas. It is certain that Coach Driver's men will play their hardest game of the year agains'the Jayhawkers, however there is not much worry in the K. U. camp.
The men came out of the Drake game in good condition. The only injury to a Kansas man was that received by Baird. The big tackle's shoulder was badly bruised but not enough to keep him out of the game for more than two days.
The game last Saturday signified many things. Kansas had the fight, the spirit and they played real football. The team showed a good knowledge of the open game and was able to use the forward pass with effect, also they were able to break up the open play of their opponents. The K. U. linemen tackled better than at any time this season.
"Did you notice," said Sherwin after the game, "that every one of the Drake men when tackled had to crawl on his knees to get up. Well, that's the way to tackle."
The one noticeable weakness of the Kansas team is in the line but Coach Sherwin expects to remedy that weakness this week.
Most of the coach's work will be directed to the strengthening of the line. The usual signal and scrimmage practice will be held this week. There was little work yesterday on account of the stiffness of the men and the muddy field.
Topeka, Kas., Oct. 31.—The initial secret practice of the season was introduced on Washburn field today when Coach Driver ordered the gates closed to all visitors. Practice will be secret every day this week. Coach Driver said today that he had pointed his men for the Kansas game and that his team would spring a surprise. Several new plays are being formed by the Sons of Ichabod.
The squad is in bad shape as a result of the game with Oklahoma last Friday. All the men were badly bruised. McIntosh had his back sprained and Tomlinson's upper jaw was cracked. Scrimmage practice will begin tomorrow and will continue for the remainder of the week.
