THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
R. O. T. C. Starts Drive To Increase Unit's Enrollment
Members Will Interview Al Freshmen to Tell of Benefits of Military Department
The department of military science and tactics of the University is launching an intensive week this weekend to train a team of technicians R, O, T, C, unit next semester.
The members of the unit have been divided into teams, each team consisting of five men and a captain Cards have been printed with the names and addresses of all fresher eligible for enrollment in the R. O T. C. These cards have been handed out to the capitals to distribute among their men who will call on them to them the benefits that may be derived from the military work and urge them to enroll next semester.
A special make-up section will be given next semester for freshmen in order that they may make up back semester. This special session is scheduled for 4:33 o'clock on Tuesday and Thursday. This will be in addition to the regular three hours a week, but for the five hours a week the regular credit will be given as six hours a week. It is two hours credit for the year.
Enrollment Low Here
"The freshman enrolling in the University in the fall," said Captain H. J. Casey, "does not understand just what the R. O. T. C is. He thinks it is just like the army and he had better stay as far away as possible. But after being here for a second semester on drill and hearing about the R. O. T. C, he begins to inquire his chances to become of these men."
Less than ten per cent of the male enrollment in the University are taking military training. Kansas State Agricultural College and the University of Missouri have compulsory military training for freshmen and sophomores, but other universities, as the University of Nebraska and the University of Arkansas, that offer military training, have an enrolment in military science of about twenty-five per cent of the men students.
Expect Enrollment Increase
There are at present two hundred and thirteen students enrolled in the R. O. T. C. Those in charge of the drive think they can increase the enrollment one hundred members for next semester. Last year their number was increased forty-two members the second semester, but no drive was made.
A memorandum for all faculty advisors will be provided by the department at enrolment. The professor of military science and tactics or any of his students may visit Gymnasium will be glad to furnish any information on the subject.

The following hours for practice have been announced by Coach Sprong who is in charge of the contest: 12:30 o'clock to 1:00; 1:00 to 1:30; and so on, however, the needs of the variety take precedence. From 2:30 to 7 o'clock the gym classes and the Variety need the floor, and the freshman squand from 8:30 to 9:30 o'clock. On Wednesday night the freshmen moved and no one was allowed on it.

Browning Of Tigers Leading The Valley In Personal Scores
Bowman And Ackerman Are Tied For Honors on Jayhawk Squad
"Bun" Browning, captain of the Tiger basketball team, has a good lead over all other Missouri Valley basketers in the number of points made by the individual player. In the second half, the two played, Browning has made thirteen field goals, and fourteen free throws, totaling forty points. Second in line stands "Pink" Greene, captain of the Iowa State team, who displayed his fast floor work and goal shooting skills on the Cycle-Jason Hawky fax Monday night.
Bowman and Ackerman, Jayhawkers, are running close together. Ackerman has seven field goals and twelve free throws or twenty-six points. Bowman has six field goals on the free throws or twenty-one points.
The Jayhawkers are in first place, one point ahead of the Tigers, having made thirty-two field goals and twenty-five free throws.
Missouri is in second place in her two games played. They have made thirty-two field goals and fourteen free throws. The Jahawkers are in second place, but thirty-six points behind the Tigers having made twenty field goals and twelve free throws. Third place is Jackson, Akha and Ames having forty-one points.
Hardly enough games have been played so that any dope can be formulated, but it is fairly certain that K. U, and M. U will be among those present when the Valley championship for 1923 is decided.

SPORT BRIEF'S DeVaughn Francis
Let's hope she continues.
Kansas, it seems, began to "hit on twelve" last night.
And Bowman said unto Acky "Gimme th' sphere." Whereupon, we were straightway and free-threw the ball thrice through the hoop.
DeVaughn Francis
Because engine trouble at Missour would stall the Valley race.
Endacott got bored with guarding the sensualene sensation. So he grabbed the ball from the Jayhawker forwards and non-forwards into the basket, into the basket,
This lad Green had his light smothered under a bushel, said "bushel" being supplied by Black and Endacott.
The Cyclones' totals in the box score (see account of game on front page) all seem to be under the heading, "Foul."
And the great Diwoky drew two lone goose-eggs!
Raff, too.
Now, who says Kansas hasn't an all-star quintet?

Would Have Legislature Make Vaccination Compulsory— Not Unconstitutional
Dr. Smith Advises Smallpox Vaccine For K.U. Students
Pointing out the advisability of vaccination, Dr. E. Smith of the University hospital gave figures from the report of a recent smallpox epidemic in Denver. Out of 123 deaths, from the report, only 6 were patients who had not been vaccinated. Of the remaining thirteen fatalities vaccination had taken place from three to eighty-one years previous to the epidemic. These figures were compiled for the month of November, 1921, to August, 1925, inclusive.
"These figures point put the advisability of being vaccinated," said Dr. Smith. "We have given a total of 3,000 students to a semester test far this. It relatively small number from approximately 3,800 University students is partially explainable by the fact that most of them were last year during the epidemic here.
"Sore arms from vaccinations are caused, particularly during a small-pox scare, from an improper purification of the vaccine. This impurity is due to the impossibility of turning out enough to satisfy the sudden demand for more vaccine to impair the effectiveness of the vaccine."
"I think that the legislature ought to make vaccinations compulsory. The supreme court recently decided that it would not be unconstitutional, according to the laws of the state."
