UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 12, 1918.
Surgeon General May Ask School of Medicine For All-Year Session
NUMBER 12.
Professors of Army Age Wil Be Commissioned Officers
Government Will Send Men to Attend School of Engineering
Will Train More Soldiers
A medical increase in enrollment in the School of Medicine for the coming year is expected, Dr. John Sandwill believes. The larger number of students will be owing to the increased demand for carollment for training in the Medical Reserve Corps of any man who has had sixty hours of college work, including six hours of physics, six hours of chemistry and six hours of biology and can produce a state-of-the-art diagnosis that he is not in the current quota.
MAKE PROFESSORS OFFICERS
With the increasing demand for doctors in the war zone, enlistment among professors has been so great that the School of Medicine has had difficulty in keeping the necessary number of teachers. But by a recent order the government has added to the number of medical officers who eligible to the Medical Reserve Corps, for teaching in the School of Medicine.
On account of the urgent need for doctors, a continuous session of the School of Medicine for the coming year will be requested by the Surgeon General.
MANY IN ENGINEERING
The School of Law is expecting a marriage next year unless a woman pleads with the mayor, W. Green. W. Green is urging to prepare for legal positions left by men entering
Prof. Carl Preeyer believes that the carollement in the School of Fine Arts will be the same as last year, if not increased, because of the large number of women enrolled. Prof. Arthur Nevin will be back and new courses formed among them implementations, conducting and a vow seminar.
DEM AND FOR TEACHERS
The School of Engineering, according to Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith, has an encouraging outlook in spite of the fact that the enrollment was lower than expected. The school that soldiers in uniform will be sent to the University by the Government to finish their training, in addition to the men in the National Army School now stationed here. Many freshmen and sophomores will take work in engineering to get experience before entering national service.
The School of Pharmacy we have a small enrollment in the ad vanced courses but is expecting more students in lower classes.
The great demand for teachers will increase the enrollment in the School of Education materially, Dean F. J. Kelly believes.
The enrollment in the Graduate School has been reduced 50 per cent since last fall and all kinds of trained workers. The enrollment during the summer term has been practically the same as before the war, Dean P. W. Blackman
The College probably will suffer most next year. The enrollment was reduced 16 per cent last year but the funding may keep the figures higher.
Many Jobs for Students Who Want to Earn Way
Jobs next year for students who wish to defray their own expenses will be plentiful. This year some jobs are particularly urgent and perilous. Because of the war there will be openings in the business section for stenographers and clerks in offices, newspaper reporters, waiters and others. The work is extra hours and on Saturdays.
Muck stenographic and mimeographic work is done in the University of Illinois by copying students' themes. Then there is always a demand for janiors and for students to do housework, memorializing, washing children for children.
The absence of so many men from the University will give the women an opportunity to take many places otherwise unavailable.
The Red Cross is Democratic.
The Y. M. C. A. maintains an employment agency for men and the Y. W. C. A. for women. Applications for work may be made to either association a few weeks before the University opens.
Attractions Ready For Campus Party Tonight
The pet stunts of the favorite comedians, and some who you did not know were comedians, are the special inducements offered at the Campus Party this evening, from 7 to 10 p.m., the Summer Session students. Two fares, "The Elopers," and "Feed the Brute," will be given by the Dramatic Art classes, and dumbbell performance, impersonations, and other stunts; the other stunts will be put on. The entire program will not be put out until Friday night at the party, when printed programs will be distributed.
The War Here and Over There
Belgium's queen has sent to American women an expression of her admiration for their work for the Allies' cause.
A resolution, requesting the president to issue a proclamation calling on the American people to observe room prayer during the war, has been passed by the senate. President Wilson favors it.
Despite the Socialists the Reichstag has passed the peace treaty and supplementary treaties with Roumania.
A campaign for a $121,000,000 fund for the Y. M. C. A. war work will begin immediately after the fourth Liberty Loan. A
Seven thousand tons of raw Caucasian cotton, to be divided among Hungary, Austria, and Germany have shipped from Tiflis to Budapest, where the cotton will arrive early in August. Twenty-six freight cars of the finest Merino wool already have arrived in Budapest.
For the first time in more than a year, the women of England are to have the privilege, for two months, of purchasing shoes with leather tops more than seven inches in height. After July 31 no more high shoes may be purchased for an indefinite period.
The Japanese government has decided to institute civil administration in the South Pacific islands.
Ad Building Will Provide Barracks for N. A. Men
New Contract Extending School Six Months to be Signed In October
n October
With the new Administration Building used as barracks and mess hall, the second floor of Fowler Shops as quarters, and a new shed near the base, the building will be pairing, the war atmosphere will be thicker than ever next fall.
The additions are necessary to accommodate the National Army Training School, which according to latest plans will be continued after October 15, and will be increased in August to 350 men. The new contract will be signed for six months until the end of this year and be continued after that time as well, Capt Benjamin F. Rice announced yesterday.
The new wing of the Administration Building will be used as quarters for the men. The officers are directed on the foundation of the auditorium for a mess hall. The offices, barracks, and infirmary in the auditorium will be continued at as present.
Women, as well as National Army engineers, have been training for Uncle Sam in the Engineering Building this summer. Real patriotism is essential to men taking an intensive course in mechanical drawing under Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith, for they not only teach you how to use 130 to 169 s'o'clock but are receiving no credit for the course, their purpose being to prepare themselves for government service as draughtsmen, thereby relieving men for mill-work.
Women Show Patriotism By Mechanical Drawing
The women have had no assurance that they will secure positions on completion of the course but must first pass a civil service examination. In spite of that fact they have competed in the college, taking a semester and a half. Professor Goldsmith said he had never had a class do as excellent work.
The seven women are: Ruth Ellis,
Elizabeth艾薇, Alice Erica, Maude
Elliott, Frances Ulrich, Mary Eli-
abeth Campbell and Helen Houghton.

It is conceded by all to be very important that boys and girls not old enough to serve their country in the Army New York National military departments should serve their country by getting the most complete and effective school and college education they must be evident to all that many thousands of those who are to take part in the actual fighting are college$^2$ and high school students. The loss among this class, unfortunately, must be considerable. In the reconsideration piece of these educated men must be taken by other educated men and women. Let us not make the mistake of ceasing our endeavors for such schools.

Exchange Professor Comes to University From War Time Franc
Arrangement Made by Miss Galloo and French Director of Education
Prof. Robert Mahieu, the first exchange professor from France to come to the University, will be here when the university opens in the fall. Students attending the arrangements for his coming here were made by Prof. Eugenia Galloo, head of the department of Romance and language, director of education in France.
Professor Mahieu's, coming is a wonderful opportunity for the University* Prof. D. L. Patterson, acting daed, said "he brings the atmosphere to our students," speaks English perfectly. Coming from France after four years of war he will serve as a bond of unity between the University and France and will give students a clear idea of what is going on in his own country.*
Captain Scher At Front
THE LAST KANSAN FOR THE SUMMER
Saw Ten Months Service in Advanced Fighting
Zone
Capt. Bruno T. Scher, professor of military science and tactics at the University and commanding officer of the R. O. T. C., has just come from the Western Front where he saw ten service in the advanced fighting zone.
Captain Scher went to France in June 1977 with the British forces of United States Troops to be sent overseas. He was commissioned major temporarily until he was retrained from active service and was given the option of physical disability. Before leaving France he was given a wrist watch by Marshal Joffre, with the Marshal's name inscribed.
He has been in the army twenty-five years, having seen service in Cuba during the Spanish-American war. He inspected the insurrections. He was the War Department Service badge for ser- he received his second lieutenant's commission during the Spanish- tricambronade and first lieutenant several years later. He was on the Mexican Border with the 6th Infantry during the Mexican trouble and was commissioned cap- tainer. He went to France from the Border.
All students who expect to complete work for degrees at the close of Summer Session should make office use by registering at office before they leave.
This issue of the Summer Session Kansan will be read by some thousands of young men and women who have never attended the University. That they may know the University somewhat better—especially the University in war time—it is necessary to print some things which students on the campus know well. However, many regular students do not appreciate adequately the full measure of the University's war activity, and even the incomplete information in this paper will occasion surprise as well as satisfaction.
Announcement
Prof. E. B. Stouffer is at home from Simmons' Hospital, where he was operated on last Friday.
Miss Corbin Considers Student Housing Plan
Miss Alberta L. Corbin, the new adviser of women sees in the attention for next year an opportunity for the women of the University to attend conferences and coording to letters received by her friends here. No definite plans have been made as yet, but Miss Corbina hopes it may be possible to provide houses for women students, even those without graduate grants the halls of residence.
Miss Corbin is spending the summer in Madison, Wisconsin, and is living with Miss A. B. Ernst, formerly of the department of German here, and now on the faculty of the university. She will be studying conditions in Wisconsin and other universities, preparatory to the work here next year.
SECRETARY BAKER TO COLLEGE MEN
This new policy (Establishing Reserve Officer's Training Corps in Colleges and Universities) aims to accomplish a two-fold object: First, to develop as a great military asset the large body of men in the colleges; and second, to prevent unnecessary and wasteful depletion of the colleges through indiscriminate volunteering by offering to the students a definite and immediate military status.
Plain Tales From The Hill
A University student, passing Prof. H. W. Humble's home, was arrested by the figure of that gentleman's small son, who is about six years old kneeling in the grass with his face solemnly lifted to the sunshine sky. He was talking either to himself or a teacher. He was sitting at the student stopped opposite the youngster and asked him what he was doing and to whom he whom he was talking.
The boy answered earnestly that he was talking to God asking him for rain. "You know," he said, "we rain the rain for the crops and the grass."
Dempsey Elliot, c20, received his call to the Great Lakes Training School Monday. He left Tuesday to report.
There has been an increase due to war influence in the percentage of mathematics, caused by the necessity of a knowledge of algebra and trigonometry in special branches of mathematics, such as aviation and artillery.
Prof. A. W. Larson of the department of mathematics is now in the Officers Training Camp at Ft. Monroe, Vn.

John M. Shea, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, has been placed in Class A, and whether he will be called to the service at once depends upon the local draft board. The University authorities hope that he may remain on account of his performance. He is especially needed for superintending the construction of the new Administration Building.
E. S. Staterle, who was captain of the team he teamed with, led the technological school for inspectors in one of the Du Pont power factories at Carnegie University.
"Some factory," said Professor Dains. "They turn out 8000 pounds of nitrate explosive a day."
Every Freshman Woman Will Have a Big Sister
A big sister for every freshman woman is the aim of the Big Sister committee of the Y. W. C. A. next year. Two hundred and twenty-five upper class women have volunteered to lead the leadership of the fifteen captains, who will be on the job when registration begins. They will bring the freshman women from the trains to the Y. W. C. A. headquarters in New Orleans and locating students; help in enrollment, and take the first year students to the University parties. Three hundred letters of welcome will be sent out to high school graduates in New Orleans next fall. Mary Burnett, 1231 Louisiana Street, will give any information desired.
Students Enlist in U. S. Army Next Year As Part of R.O.T.C.
Will be Called to Colors on Reaching Draft
Age
Soldiers on Furlough Status
In Summer
Training Supplemented by Six Weeks' Intensive Work In Service
The army unit to be established at the University the coming year is an infantry unit of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, with Capt. Brune T. Scher, U. S. Army, in command. The R. O. T. C is a part of the Students Army Training Corps, with camps in all institutions of collegiate grade in military training, including men, and is designed to use as a military asset the great body of young men in the higher educational institutions of the country.
All able-bodied students over eighteen will be encouraged to enlist, and those under eighteen to enroll. The enlistment contract of students over eighteen is signed by the commissioner of the Army of the United States, subject to active service at the call of the President. It will be the policy of the government, however, not to allow a student who they reach the regular draft age, and then they are to be called at the close of the June following, in order that they may complete their college year. The student body is not a desirability under the Selective Service Act.
REGULAR MILITARY TRAINING
The enlisted students will be on forlough status, and will not receive a payday. They are sent a year. But when they are attending the six weeks' intensive course during the summer, they are furnished transportation and rations by the Navy.
The work includes ten hours per week throughout the school year, divided into six hours of practical instruction, three hours of technical course, and four hours credit for academic studies of military value. This is followed by six weeks' intensive training at some summer camp for R. H. Mason in 60 hours military work per annum.
PREPARE FOR OFFICERS' CAMPS
Enlistments are in the grade of private. When called to the colors, a large percentage of these men are expected to qualify for officers' training camps, and a large percentage of them are missioned officers. The number of men to be sent from any institution to officers' training camps, depends not only on the quality of the men and the need of the service at the time.
nurse instructors are provided for these units whenever available, and officers returning from overseas unassigned are not utilized. The summer work is all under experienced army officers. For the training during the school year, supplementary instructors, who are given special intensive courses durably are used by nurses and officers. Fifty-three students and five members of the faculty of the University, will take such training in Fort Sheridan in July and August.
EQUIPMENT PROVIDED
Each soldier is allowed one uniform per year by the government, and all soldiers are required to wear a model Russian rifles and ammunition. Soldiers are required to wear their uniforms for all the military work, and wear them all the time if they choose.
The R. O. T. C., as a part of the Students Army Training Corps, is under the Training and Instruction Branch, War plans Divisions of the General Staff. An advisory board consists of 20 members of War to insure close co-operation between the War Department and the colleges.
