Once more, resounds the roll of drums. Once more, the huggle calls to students. Once more, the Corps find their respective places in the Student Army Training Corps.
As the alumni of nine years ago return for an inspection of the new stadium and of the old McCook Field, they are faced with a problem but for an instant, to the scene which a decade of post-bellum misrepair may recall in their mind's eye the barracks which graced Mississippi街; the offices" quarter and the clubhouse. They will probably remember many other little incidents which marked the four decades of the University turned "militarian."
Preparedness 108, the American troop on September 19th, the American troops engaged in the cause of the Allies. More than a year had passed since war was declared and the American dugout had found his place on the front "over" the enemy trench. He became the beast in history and there were no signs of a compromise.
In anticipation of future developments the government took steps toward preparedness for future emergencies. Trained workers were at a premium and a plan was sought to replace those who were falling in line.
The Students Army Training Corps was the result. The venture was once never tried before and at first met with endless difficulties in uncovering successes and challenges introduced in all the larger colleges and universities of the country. War subjects were made a part of the training, the student was made subject to call.
Many Difficulties Met
Registration for the S. A, T. C, at the University of Kansas was taken care of in the law library on the second floor of Green hall on September 17. Hundreds stood in line wait. For coffee and W. J. W. service coffee and doughnuts.

Capt. B, T. Scher was placed in command of the troops from France on April and brought to the campus the true splendor of the front. There were 18

On Sept. 23, recruitment of meets for the navy was suspended and on Oct. 2 a marine corps detachment was established. Thirteen barracks, planned by Prof. Goldwyn Goldsmith, after the regular officers of the navy were erected an time went on, eight to Mississippi street near McCook field and five on the Hill between Marvin and Hailey. The team planned to accommodate 2500 men.
a ceremony which will perhaps never be forgiven by those who wore the khaki, the one held on Mt. Sheridan, the first to wear it. The occasion marked the true beginning of the student army. The oath of allegiance was given on that day, and the students were so shocked they stood at attention for several minutes, as did similar units all over the country, in tribute to the founding of this youngest of military or
Then activities began in earnest. On Oct, 4, 400 were served at the first mess. Service at the regulation mess
hall was prevented for n time by a shortage of water so students were fed at restaurants and in the gymnasium.
Uniforms were nearly as scarce as water. On Oct. 1, I and 2,500 of them failed to wear a uniform or not sufficient. For weeks the potential army officers came to drill at the camp.
By the sixth of the month the first hundred had spent their initial night in the barracks. A few days later four barrackes were in use. All was progressing well when, on Oct. 8, a proclamation came which closed the
Trying Days for Soldiers
Spanish influenza was threatening On the day of the proclamation there were 92 cases in the infirmary. A day later the number had risen to 138 and on the day after, the maximum of 450 cases were reported had passed, 24 lives had been claimed.
Those were trying days for the budding city to be able to keep the city, and to keep everyone occupied, double time was devoted to drill. In addition to water irrigation, insubstances, bad water and cigarettes days, not to mention the constant fear of possible fire.
The total enrollment that year was 3000; 192 women and 208 men. This included the previous banner year. Section B detachment had been sent here by the university to provide a entirely of college students. In addition there were a number of volunteer teachers.

The next day the decision was sent to Washington, and demobilization was ordered for Dec. 3, and Lack of further orders, however, postponed by the war in Korea. And the men went home for Christmas that year in their uniforms.
Places Filled by Others
After demobilization many left the University, but their places were filled by those who returned to school after receiving charge from the country.
Nine years have passed and the maneuvers of the scholar-soldier have become more complex, and other memories of the war. But the returning alumnas has perhaps not forgotten. He shall learn the soldiers here and there, which to him have become almost sacred, and which in his memoirs was unstated under the column headed "1918."
