TO START DRIVE FOR R. O. T. C. MEMBERS
100 New Members Desired Raise National Ranking of K. U.
COURSE FOR FRESHMEN
Attend Classes on Tuesday and Thursday to Make Up Work
The R. O. T. C. is starting a drive for 100 new members for the next semester so as to bring K. U. further up in rank among the R.O.T.C of the country. At present K. U. ranks 201st amnesty at the school in regard to enrollment in this department, in an enrollment of 151.
Due to the unusual number of applications made to take this work last fall, it has been found necessary to offer a special course to freshmen. As an enrollment in R. O. T. C. requires an entire year's work, a five hour class will be given according to the outline.
Day: Nature of Work: Classes:
Monday—Theory 10:30, 11:30
Wednesday—Drill 4:30
(Winter Schedule Drill) 7:30
Friday—Practical Work 10:30, 11:30

Tuesday—Practical 4:30
Thursday—Theory 4:30
Note: Preparation is required for
Additional Work
Men enrolling this semester will attend classes with the present classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and will have lunch with Thursday and Tuesday to cover work given in the last semester. Enrollments will be taken January 31.
The attention of all interested is called by the Department of Military Science to a six weeks Summer Camp offered to the first year men of the R. O. T. C. by the Government, attendance at which is without expense Transportation and regions to attend from camp, food, medical attention, medical attention, not least of all work of an interesting nature while at camp are provided. This year the camps will be held at Camp Humphres, V., near Washington, D. C. and at Fort Winfield Scott, near San Francisco. A special K. U. train will leave the Santa Fe Depot June, 1921.
Vari-Colored Smocks Inspire Architects
"A smock," relates Webster's International Dictionary, "is a coarse frock or long shirt worn over other dress, as by farm laborers of Europe." However, unknown to Naoh, smocks are being worn by students on Mt. Garead, where the school is also a suburban hud as the book of knowledge would have one believe.
Occasionally a visitor, who aims to "see it all," makes his way to the third floor of Marvin Hall. As he pauses at the top of the last flight of stairs, he finds himself in a long hallway filled with design drawings. But unless he has much time, he does not stop to examine the various details, corners south between rows of drawings, and comes to a room filled with desks hure drawing boards, and people.
If he is some high school prospect making his first tour of the campus, he stops with a gap of surprise. Then a slow glimpse spreads over his face for what are those individuals wear to see how they look down one aisle, and behold—he sees a pair of trousered legs protruding from one of those queer garments. Ah, the men wear 'em too, do they? He edges his way between the drawing boards to a man—a man standing on a high stool gripping critically the room's floor. In the room who is not wearing one of those brilliant affairs.
"What place is this?" he timidly asks the man.
"This is the department of architecture," answers Professor Bailey.
"And what are they wearin'?" "Smocks."
The visitor nods in a satisfied manner, and after looking at the various pictures and mottoes on the wall, deserves weariing the amused expression.
But the amusement was needless. The visitor should have been more inquisitive. The smocks, according to the arctitectural students, are worn as a protection against the dirt. But why the wild profusion of colors, why the wonderful hand paintings on those smocks?
"Ah," the architects tell us, "ah, that is for inspiration."

Snow Melting Too Soon For Wheat Protection
Although this is not an Agricultural College, still we are interested to know what the effects of this snow will have upon the wheat. According to Professor Stevens of the Department of agriculture, snow has two effects upon wheat.
First, it acts as a blanket, so that that the earth's heat is not radiated off into space so rapidly, thus protecting it against the cold. This last snow, although heavy, has malted to no extent and acts as a protector from severe cold.
In the second place snow furnished moisture to the wheat. As the snow melts the moisture is absorbed by the snow, laying it with the necessary moisture.

"K. U. Engineers miss the association of the women students. This is true not only in the class room and on the campus, but we do not have the opportunities to even meet the girls," stated a junior engineer this morning. "The problem confronts us—whether some plan should be devised whereby the men of the engineering school could meet all the university women."
K. U. Engineers Pine For Fair Damsels?
Smith has a fine voice and will sing one selection.
It is true that many of the engineers have the opportunity to meet the girls, through their fraternity or boarding club. There are many students, confessed the speaker, who become real women haters at this university. Mr. Engineer suggested following plans, in order to make this place a better place to live in for most of the students.

women who spend their idle hours there.
"It is a supposition of the other students of the University," continued the engineer, "that we do not miss or desire the acquaintance of the women, because it is out of our reach, but we wouldn't bother us much if we didn't see the fellows of the college fussing around the women. We are stuck yard off on the edge of the campus, losing out on their advantages, and hoping that next semester we may have girls in the engineering school."

Question Chosen—Tryouts Be Held in Three Weeks
GIRLS' WILL DEBATE K. S. A. C. IN APRI
The debate between the girls of K. U, and the team from Manhattan will be held some time before April 15. The question for discussion has been conditionally decided upon. It is, resolved: "That the United States should adopt a Parliamentary form of government."
The advantage of selecting this subject is the fact that the men's debating team will debate with Colorado and Oklahoma on the same subject. The girls team will be able to receive help from the men in the preparation of their debate. Tryouts for the girls will be held in the fall; tryouts for the date will be announced later. Those who wish to tryout may prepare to discuss either side of the question for five minutes.
Dr. E, Edwards' Bible Class met Monday afternoon, at 4:00 o'clock to discuss the subject of Conversion. Dr. Edwards gave his views on the subject, and then called for questions from the students. He then suggested suggestions for the religious campaign which is to be carried on the first of the semester.
These facts were pointed out by Sir Robert Horns in a speech at the opening of the Advertising Exhibition here. The serpent, he said, was the advertising agent who knew his job and tried to keep him away. Few because he knew she had a "pull" with the public he was trying to reach, or in other words, poor old Adam.
Sir Robert failed to point out whether Adam ever repented of his response to the lure of the advertisement—but he pointed out nevertheless that advertised articles are bound to be good, or no amount of advertising will sell them the second time. Assume they have assumed the apple to the reputation Eve had claimed for it and Adam thereafter became a habitual apple-eater.
London, Jan. 18—Eve was the first world'sist advertiser. It was because she pointed out the excellent qualities of fruit that Adam and she found themselves outside the Garden of Eden. If Eve hadn't "boosted" the apple, Adam would never have partaken.
Eve Boosted Apple Was First Advertiser
A Minister was reading the Sunday Journal of Job "Yea the light of the wicked knelt will be shaken in the darkness, suddenly the church was plunged into total darkness," the minister, without pausing for a moment, "in view of the failure of the filament of this prophecy, we will spend a few minutes in silent prayer electric light company."
Be that as it may, certainly the wonders of advertising were well proved. The fact is exhibited which is the first of its kind ever held in England.

Winfield Gives Freely For College Support
Appreciation of the fact that support of a college or university by the town in which it is situated is not an expense but an investment, is illustrated by the fact that Winfield has paid $112,000.00 into the treasury of Southwestern College during the last decade. In the last drive the bachelor's degree and the 30,000.00 according to the secretary of the Winfield Commercial Association. Winfield is a town of less than 10,000 population and Southwestern College has fewer than 500 students.
