R.O.T.C. Receives New Equipment for Anti- Aircraft Instruction
VOL. Ch
New Gun Same as 1916 Model With Improvements and New Pieces
Anti-aircraft training will be facilitated by the use of the new 75mm gun which has recently been received by the R. O. T. C. This gun is mounted in a telescoping device it instantly ready for moving. The model of the gun has not been changed and is the same as in 1916 although the different equipment has been improved upon and several improvements have been made to equip for the gun in
Ka
Major equipment for the gun includes two altimeters used for getting firing data on the plane, two timing grille models 1917 which
observation grids; not observed in using the speed of the plane, a corrector, or a hand fuse setter that fits at the end of the shell and clips the fuse at a certain point to explode at a given distance. In French model
the correct or and takes the place of three or four instruments for getting firing data on a plane. It requires five skilled men to operate the gun, W. T. Armstrong, e24, and M. H. Price, e24, will take lessons on the operation of this instrument and will probably be used as instructors in the use of a corrector some time in the future, according to Capt. K. G. Archibald.
"Boxing in" a plane or making it so hot for that it is unable to get accurate firing data was explained by Captain Archibald in telling the purpose of the anti-aircraft guns in battle action. These guns are not supposed to make any direct hits but by laying a barrage of shells around the plane, "boxing it"; they are able to force the plane to crumble. By doing this the plane is unable to rake the trenches with machine gun fire or to drop bombs so effectively," said Capt. Archibald.
Sixty-five Men Receive Mone From Government
Many Vocationals Here
The University of Kansas has sixty-five vocational men enrolled; seven of whom are attending the School of Medicine at Rossdale. There are thirty-nine married and nineteen single men here who receive丹 allowance for their care, and two curries with the number of dependents a man has. The single men receive $100 per month; married men $135. If there is one child, the sum is increased to $145, and for two children, it is further increased to $152. If there are more women, $154 as a month is given for each one.
Of the vocational men in school sixteen are enrolled in the School of Law; seventeen in the School of Engineering; thirteen are Medics; two pre-laws and six are in the School of Pharmacy. The remaining number are in different departments of the College.
Kansas Alumni Write From Distant Points
The Veterans' Bureau is divided into fourteen districts in the United States, Kansas being in district nine, with Nebraska, Oklahoma and Missouri. The sub-district head is W. F. Ragle of Kansas City. Dean John R. Dyer has charge of the Bureau at the University.
"The morning mail at the alumni office is a course in geography," Alfred G. Hill, secretary of the Alumni Association, told a reporter this morning. Taking a dozen letters back, he read over the return addresses.
The first was from Pasadena, Calif., the second from Kansas City, Kan., the third came from Los Angeles. The fourth came from Portland, Mo.; Kansas City, Mo.; South Bend, Ind.; Schenectady, N. Y.; Woolston, Mass.; and Mountain View, Calif. The fifth came from Rosealdale, Needsahe, or letters from Rosaldea, Needsahe, and Coffeville
"A cross section of our correspondence shows that K. U. graduates are grouped in various sections of the country, but not everywhere or a new country opening up here you will find K. U. graduates," said Mr. Hill.
Sigma Delta Chi Plans Banquet
Sigma Delta Chi held a meeting Monday at the Acacia house to discuss plans for the Girdon banquet to be held in March or April. Last year there were 175 present at the banquet and as many attended this year. Only members of the faculty and prominent men of the hill and of Lawrence will be invited to attend.
Seven Professors Attend Convention of Scientists
The annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, which was held in Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 27 to Jan. 2, was attended by seven professors from the University.
The Association is divided into several divisions and each professor attended the meeting of the section in which he was interested. The botany, entomology, geology, and business departments were represented.
Those from the University who attended were P. A. Readio, instructor of ontology, S. J. Hunter, professor of ontology, P. B. Lawson, professor of ontology, P. B. Hungerford, professor of ontology, C. A. Messick, assistant instructor in mathematics, W. H. Schowe, assistant professor of geology, and A. J. Illzey, associate professor of the association will be held at Washington, D. C.
Travel on Foot to Ohio
Gilkinson and Williams Hike to Wilmington
Professor B. A. Gilkinson, of the department of public speaking, and Eugene Williams, c27, have a novel way of spending their vacation. These two will go to New York on December 22, on foot for Wilmington, Ohio. Saturday night found them at Wellington, Mo., about sixty miles east of Kansas City. "Missouri," said Professor Gilkinson, "so we took the rain to St. Louis."
From there, by continued walking and riding they reached Terre Haute, Indiana. Sunday night. The next night they were safe in Wilmington, which is Mr. William home and where they spent Christmas. While 'the Professor Gilkinson attended a teachers' and speech convention.
"We had many interesting experiences and all sorts of conveyances from 'army' Ford trucks to one another. We drove to Professor Gilmickon. One car took the travelers almost all the way across the state of Illinois, and promised to bring them back when they were ready to come." He said he'd traveled in a "way" traveling and I would recommend it to students," concluded Professor Gilmickon.
K.U. Students Become Regular Old Skates
Young and old gather from everywhere, it seems, and are seen gliding about in a more or less skilful and nimble manner. They lack the burdens one who stay rather near to the shore stagger about colliding with each other, muttering formal apologies for being so awkward, falling over, crashing against all of having a wonderful time.
A small group of skilled skaters have brought a phonograph and are performing gracefully to the strains of Paul Whitman. Natives of Kansas gather around and watch curiously the apparent ease with which the different couples perform. Evidently, they are watching skating in an entire winter pastime instead of being from Kansas where the sport is a rarity.
Hindus, in turbans, and lithe Filipinos put forth their best efforts to maintain their balance. Strange contrast this. Natives of the more torrid regions partaking of the frigid delights of the North.
Later in the evening the fries are started and the hilarity keeps up for a while. Then as it grows cooler they become soft. After a while only a few remain.
"The History of the Atomic Theory" was the subject of a talk by E. C. Wise and J. W. Barker he presented at a summer afternoon. That the atomic theory is not of recent origin, but that it was well known and accepted by many Greek philosophers of Aristotle, who stated the statement made by Mr. Wise.
Chemistry Club Hears Atomic Theory Lecture
The atomic theory originated in the period from 600 to 400 B. C. However, the theory as now accepted in detail, is attributed to Dalton. Dr. Nels Bohr, of Denmark, has made many discoveries in applying this theory.
The January meeting of the Cosmopolitan Club will be held at next Sunday at the Cosmopolitan house, 1653 Indiana, at 3:00 p.m. m. All members are requested to attend, as a number of new questions, hitherto undiscussed, will be brought up at that time.

RETURN ENGAGEMENT OF
Bowersock Theatre, Monday Night, Jan. 14th
The Smart Musical Comedy ent positively limited to one performance.
During the last visit of this great musical success hundreds of anxious theatergoers were turned away from the Bowersock box office for the very good reason that they did not heed the managerial urge to secure their seats well in advance. Don't YOU make this mistake and find yourself among the disappointed ones. If you do you're missing what all Lawrence has already acclaimed the biggest musical comedy bit seen here in years.
"IRENE" comes to Lawrence after a recent return engagement in New York at the Al Jolson Theater with the same cast, which includes DALE WINTER, FLO IRWIN, MARY O'MOORE, GLADYS NAGLE, DOROTHY LAMAR, HENRIETTA HOUSEN, DOROTHY KANE, HOWARD FREEMAN, JERE DELANEY, HENRY COOTE, GEORGE COLLINS, EDIE MARR and GEORGE MANTELL in prominent roles. An exceptional beauty chorus is also provided with a special orchestra.
Seats go on sale at the box office tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock at a popular scale of prices, ranging from $1.00 to $2.50.
