THEY PROMISE ENOUGH SEATS
ATHLETIC MANAGERS HAVE ARRANGED FOR BIG GAME.
Association Park Will Seat 14,
395—Reserved Seats $2.00,
Box Seats, $2.50.
Ample seating accommodations will be provided for the Kansas and Missouri rooters at the annual football game in Kansas City Thanksgiving day. This was announced by Manager Lansdon this morning after he had completed the arrangements with the Missouri and park managements.
The price of tickets will be $2 for reserved seats and $2.50 for the box seats. Many orders for seats have come in, among them being Regent C. S. Gleed of Topeka, who asked for fourteen box seats.
New seats have been added and bleachers erected until the seating capacity of Association park is now 14,395 and of this number all but 1,600 are reserved. On account of the small number of entrances it has previously been impossible for the large crowd to get into the park. Twelve entrances will be provided. Ushers will be hired who understand locating seats. The tickets have been ordered and the complete description of the location of the seat is printed on the back of each ticket.
The managers also took a stand against ticket scalping and declared that any one caught selling tickets on the street would be prosecuted under the anti-scalping law of the state.
Entertainment for Men and Women in the Gymnasium.

Students are now more generally acquainted than they could have been in September. The occasion will also give opportunity for meeting those of their fellow students with whom they have not yet become acquainted. Those who have in charge the program for the evening promise a thoroughly enjoyable time to all who attend.

WANTS CLOSER CO-OPERATION
CHANCELLOR STRONG'S ADDRESS AT INAUGURAL.
He Hopes That the University and K. S. A. C. Will Work for the Same Interests.
At the inauguration ceremonies for President Waters at Manhattan today, the Chancellor talked for closer and better relations between the Agricultural College and the University. He congratulated the Manhattan school on the efficiency of its graduates and prophesied a new epoch in the history of the institution.
Chancellor Strong said in part: "I venture to hope that the watchword of the Agricultural College and the University in the years to come may be co-operation, and that some definite terms of inter-relation may be arrived at by which the resources of each institution may be, so far as possible, at the disposal of the other; that there may be worked out some practical method of interchange of teachers and general co-ordination of work; in short, that co-operation be written large in the subsequent history of state higher education in Kansas."
Mr. W. Davis, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Manhattan, visited with H. C. Herman of the University Y.M.C.A.yesterday.

Coach Kennedy was taken down with a slight attack of the grip last night and has been confined to his bed all day. He is hoping to be up and around in time to go to Columbia to see Missouri and Drake play Saturday.
Along with Coach Kennedy Mosse, Manager Lansdon, Captain Pleasant, Carlson, and Johnson will leave tomorrow for Columbia to see Missouri in action Saturday. Dahlene and "Pete" Heil will most likely to go to see Iowa play.
The team has been resting so far this week after their hard game against the Cornhuskers, and have been running light signal practice. This afternoon they will have their first hard scrimmage of the week. The men are now to be pointed for Iowa and Missouri. The game last Saturday gave the men a great deal more confidence in each other, and will help them to develop that community of spirit which was so noticeable among the players on the "All victorious" team last year.
THE LAWS ARE IN.
Tuesday at a mass meeting of the students of the law school Harold Armsby and Steen Johnson, both of the senior law class, were elected to represent the law school in the student council. The laws had refused to come into the council until the constitution was amended so that three semester men might be elected officers of the council. The amendment passed last week and the laws then decided to elect representatives to the council.

The tryout for the new play from Dr. van Eeden, "Ysbrand," is to be held Saturday evening at the downtown studio of the Fine Arts school, in the Dick building. The try-out will be held before the faculty committee consisting of Professors Boodin, W. C. Johnson, Gray, and Whitecomb.
The committee has decided not to throw the try-out open to everybody, but to confine it to those who have had experience in dramatic work at the University. With this in view they have picked out about five persons to compete for each part.
The play is to be directed by Miss Gertrude Mossler, and the try-out will be held under her direction Saturday evening at o'clock.
The front door of the Chemis try building was locked yesterday and the sign, "Front Door Closed. Go to East Door" was set up for the first time this year. This is done when the wind from the south is so strong as to endanger the front door if it is allowed to slam.
