AN UNFORTUNATE RALLY
The taking of a holiday after chapel yesterday by a number of students and their attempt to disorganize all the classes in session in every University department have caused considerable just unfavorable criticism.
There is a time and a place for school spirit but there appears to be a mistaken idea among some students that Friday morning after chapel is the legitimate time to declare a holiday. The faculty has been liberal in the granting of holidays and we have every assurance that holidays will be declared before the Nebraska and Missouri games. The rally yesterday was in no way under the direction of the cheer leader or the president of the Men's Student Council, who are the only students who are in anyway responsible for such rallies.
A certain faculty member of the School of Law in referring to the rally spoke of the pernicious influence such meetings have. "Every student in the University," he said, "ought to have more pride than to allow himself to be at the beck and call of every irresponsible person who has sufficient energy to beat a drum." This is a common sentiment among the other faculty members.
There is danger that if the precedent is established now of declaring a cessation of all study after Friday morning chapel the custom will grow. Such a custom tends to disintegrate and disrupt school work and has no place in school life. School loyalty is all right in its place, but reason rather than sentiment ought to govern.
The action yesterday was unfortunate coming as it did at a time when the problem of placing all responsibility for student discipline in the students' hands is now being discussed.
ENGINEERS' RECEPTION
The Engineers' reception last evening was an expression of the close affiliation and marked affection that exists between the students of this school and their professors, and especially Dean Marvin.
Practically every student taking engineering work attended this annual reception given by Dean Marvin and the artificiality and cordiality that are so often

This annual reception has grown to be as distinctive a feature of the School of Engineering as is the "Uncle Jimmie" banquet in the School of Law. Dean Marvin in his long association with the University and as head of one of the greatest schools in this institution, has so infused his ideals into the life of his students as to make them all respect and love him. Such meetings as were held last night work for a better understanding between the faculty and the student body, that is wholly desirable.

WILL TEST KANSAS CLAYS
Prospects Are Good For Developing China Clay.
"The making of terra cotta and other clay products could be made a paying industry of the state," is the opinion of Mr. B. L. Wolf who is overseeing the construction of the new clay testing laboratory in the rear of the Mining Building.
Three hundred and eleven alumni of the University came together Thursday night at the annual reunion banquet at Topica. This banquet is an annual feat.
"The clay industries, excepting some brick making, are practically undeveloped in this state," said Mr. Wolf, "and I look for some very valuable results from our testing work which will be done here after our laboratory has been equipped.
Attendance Larger Than Ever Before at Topeka Meeting.
311 GRADUATES BANQUETED
"All the terra cotta used in our new Administration building, for instance, had to be shipped in from other states. I hope to see this station demonstrate that we have plenty of good terra cotta clay right here. If we should discover clay good for ordinary pottery purposes, we can build up establishments within the state for the manufacture of pottery which is now imported.
"Our clays are only in the beginning of their development and I think that this addition to the University equipment is especially timely and fortunate. Illinois and Indiana, have had similar testing stations for years to which the great pottery industries of these states owe their beginning. Now that their clay deposits are becoming exhausted the value of this development laboratory to Kansas is inestimable."
At present the stonework on the new addition is practically finished and work on the inside is in progress. A modern brick kiln and first class clay mixing machinery will constitute part of the equipment. Clay for ceramic purposes will be tested and china burning will be done for the art classes. The entire second story of the plant will be given over to small laboratories for testing purposes, and a third half story will provide room for further work. The plant will not be in working order before Christmas.
"Last winter Miss Benson, of the Fine Arts department discovered a mixture of clay on the side of Mount Oread which baked into an excellent color for china. If we should discover clay which will burn to a pure white, such as is found at Macon, Georgia, that alone would cover the $7,500 invested in this plant many times over."

LEE'S COLLEGE INN
Recommendations concerning Schools of Education and Graduate Schools affect only the University, for there are no other such schools in the state. These recommendations moved that facilities for practice teaching be more adequate and that summer schools be more generally attended by the teachers in the high schools.

ture of the State Teachers' meeting and the attendance last night was a record breaker. The active University was represented by Chancellor Strong who presided over the meeting, and several of th faculty members all of whom made short speeches. The talks of the evening were concerned with the women's residence hall which is now on at the University. All present were urged to start a campaign for funds among the old graduates in their several localities.
State Teachers Resolve in Favor of More Money For K. U.
FAVOR BETTER SUPPORT
The State Teachers' Association at their meeting at Topeka adopted all of the resolutions offered by the committee of which Prof. C. H. Johnston is chairman. This resolutions will be issued in pamphlet form and will serve as an educational platform for the teachers of the state throughout the year.
The use of the school houses as centers of citizens' meetings, which Prof. R. R. Price of the department of University Extension has been advocating, was favorably acted upon, if the final authority be left with the faculty and school board.

CHEMISTS MET TODAY
Dr. Louis Kahlenberg Lecturd on Nature of Solutions.
Dr. Louis Kahlenberg of the University of Wisconsin gave a lecture before the Kansas City section of the American Chemical Society in the Chemistry building this morning.
His talk was the report of a series of experiments and original research work which he has been conducting with the metals in repacing each other in non-aqueous media. The principal solvents used were the fatty acids and both conducting and insulating fluids were experimented with, and it was discovered that the deposition and replacement did not depend upon an electrical action that might be set up in the media. He said that there was a great field open for research in this little investigated field of the nature of solutions.
About two hundred and fifty attended the lecture among whom were a number of out of town members of the American Chemical Society.
GOT EVEN WITH OKLAHOMA
Tiger's Bull Pup Defeated The Sooner's Mascot.
Incensed, over the Tiger's defeat, Ginger, the little fox terrier at the Athens Hotel, gave Sooner, the Oklahoma mascot, a sound thrashing after the Tiger defeat. The guests were in the dining room at supper, when a noise in the office announced the fight. The dogs were separated but not before Sooner was badly beaten. The dogs are both fox terriers and about the same size.—University Missourian.
