Sophomore Men Learn Good Defensive Fight
The men in the sophomore gym classes are learning to fight. Various modifications of the Japanese jiu-tsu form of martial arts are taught to men, and according to prof. G. B. Patterson of the department of physical education, it is hoped that the students taking the jiu-tsu form to put up a good defensive fight.
"There come times in every man's life," said Mr. Patrick, "when he needs to know a good defensive method of fighting. A man who knows nothing of self-protection enemies is helpless before an enemy with a knife or gun. By becoming proficient in the juju game, stands a chance of propping himself against a man much larger than himself, and with practice can also handle the man with a knife or枪."
The less dangerous phases of the jiu-jitsu are being taught to the men at present, according to Mr. Patrick. A great deal of the genuine Japanese method consists in breaking the leg and arm bones of the opponent, but these more dangerous holds are not to be shown to the classes. Various members of the classes stuck under his work is the practice in learning to defend oneself against a man with a knife, but according to Mr. Patrick, they will continue to learn the jiu-jitsu until the Christmas recess.

The formation of the K, U. Discussion Groups throughout the university is progressing well according to a statement issued by a member of A.M. a thirsty morning.
Geneva, Dec. 3—Article 10 fought over in the United States faces amendment in the League of Nations, events here today and in the last few days indicate. Other nations than the United States have modelled that modeling of the covenant. The trend in this direction was indicated yesterday by Lord Cecil. Because of a declaration that the article does not guarantee any nation's right to take part, it was said to be under preparation by the Canadian delegation.
The groups have been firmly established in seven organizations and several more will be started soon. The leaders of the groups must attend a conference for two weeks for a conference. The last conference was held Tuesday afternoon.

ASSEMBLIES SUBJECT OF CABINET MEETING
A survey taken this morning by the Kanasan revealed these facts in summarizing the voluble discussion promulgated by the publication of an article written for *The fashionist* "fashionplate" attire which seemed excessive at the University of Kansas.
Flannel shirts and mildy blouses are favorites with many prominent students of the University even though other inhabitants of Oread lead a full-dress accompaniment to campus and classroom.
J Tracey, president of the Men's Student Council, being both a student government dignitary and marriée man, must needs den d a white collar on the days when he appears in action, to keep him from becoming a year. However, he favors the rough-ready garb so popular in his native haunt, the engineering building. For the engineers' Five days out or the week they wear their khaki (be sure in this case to pronounce it in French) for the gruesome climb into embryo montastacks and 'line off the 100 acres of the campus a high glee and low collars.
Deans and Divisions Heads Discuss Weekly Convocations; Committee Considers Changes
Poll of Student Leaders Shows Majority Favors "Common sense" Garbs of O.D.Shirts and Middies

Some Faculty Members Desire New Arrangements for All-university Meetings
OBJECT TO SHORT CLASSES
The Chancellor's Cabinet, composed of deans and division heads, met in the Chancellor's office yesterday afternoon to discuss convocations. Whether to make the All-University meetings daily, weekly or bi-monthly affairs was taken up and a committee was appointed to arrange a series of classes during time for classes on convention days. Four of these hours would be taken up with the regular classes and the fifth with the convention.
Some system that will not deprive instructors of the full hour of work and will give the students of the University a chance to hear nationally broadcast lectures, poses of student government is what is being evolved by the cabinet.
According to some of the professors who have assigned library courses, the students are unable to get the books because certain ones in the student body have taken the books without checking them out.
The student body as a whole is responding to the convocation idea much better this year than ever before, if the attendance at the meetings of the college was higher than as a whole favor some regular system of convocations. They desire, accordingly to several intervised this morning, to know on just what days and what hours these meetings will come if they may plan for them in advance.
The system of starting classes at 8 o'clock on concession days and ending at 1 o'clock, getting in four full hours of classes and one full hour being taken up with a concession is meeting with approval among the faculty. Many instructors have expressed themselves as being opposed to taking up for concessions. The All-university meetings, according to the instructors has a tendency to cause students to cut classes the final hour or two of the morning, thus disrupting the work of that course once a week.
Many other colleges and universities have daily chapel hours, which must be attended by the entire student body. Such a system, it is thought, would not prove for such a长时期 that the University is immune. INW would be a physical impossibility to check up an attendance at the K. U. conventuations.
These books must be returned at once or drastic measures will have to be restored to, say the professors.
Prof's, Warn Students Who Took Library Be
retain their air of bravado with fleece-lined canvas hunting coats over their army shirts. They passed a resolution urging the wearing of the "short-coats" as means of economy and identification.
Most prominent of the flannel shirt devotees who daily cross the campus are Claude Voorhees, vice-president of the Moe's Council and chairman of the auditing committee, and "Brig" Young, chief KuKu. Both wear comfortable garb with insinuce and ease.
Jesie Martindale, president of the Women's Athletic Association; Clara Nigle, in charge of the "shock trumps" training program; and Leona Baumgartner, "little sister" for the Loyalty Drive, all glory in the democratic blue middles. Their hairnets are replaced frequently as they swim in monkeys only when weather compels.
Enumerating the football players who regard the flannel as a necessary adjunct almost entails the entire squad. John Bunn, "Mandy"; Mandeville, "Red" Hart, "Sandy"; Sandefur, and "Arnise" Bell are among the athletes who wear the o. d. shirting left over from their army careers, and worry when it shows signs of wearing through around the elbows.
Orchestra Will Give
Formal Concert Soon
The University Orchestra will give its first formal concert shortly after the Christmas holidays or immediately before the end of the first semester. The concert probably will be given in Robinson Gymnasium if the student support warrants the larger auditorium.
The orchestra now numbers nearly fifty pieces. The regular pieces together with the brass and woodwind work upon the concert numbers.
"We had hoped to give the concert before the holidays," said a member of the orchestra today, "but the numerous school activities have continually interfered with our rehearsals and we are no quite prepared to give it until after the Christmas vacation."
ORGANIZATION PRIZES ANNOUNCED MONDAY
Some few subscriptions are still coming in to the drive headquarters, according to W. J. Baumgartner, chairman of the Loyalty committee. The students who have not yet submitted their answer another opportunity, Chairman Baumgartner says, and committees from both the Men's and the Women's Council will be formed for the purpose of soliciting the new students who enter next February, and they have been missed so far 'till fall.'

WAR CASE IN $ _{2} $MUSEUM
"Lest we Forget" War Relies Are Displayed
"Lest we forget." With that thought in mind H. T. Martin, Curator of Athropology, set up a new glass case on the third floor of the museum to entirely to war reliefs collected by officers on the battle fields of France.
"Ten years from now," said Mr. Martin, "the casual visitor, for whom the World War is a matter of dim history, passing through the Museum will step before this case. That German bayonet, there, that looks like a butcher knife, those gas masks, and that nearly punctured German helmet, that we'll all hold in vivid memory the agonies the forgetten dead endured for the sake of decency. This case will be a reminder."
A few of the roles displayed are a collection of German, French, and American hand grenades donated by Captain Wint Smith, who was an instructor in hand grendle throwing in France, a German machine gun with it's bandoleer full of shells, an English Tommy's canteen, a German prismatic compass taken from an officer commanding a Minnewer-
One historic relie in the collection is the American flag under which King George of England received a crown and an English wood and curture; Admiral Beauty and Sims; Venizules of Greece and an official representative from each of the Allied nations on July 19, 1918, who were held in England hold her Victory celebration.
Another war trophy, a German anti-tank gun, one of the very few of its kind that reached the United States was deposited in the Museum by Cain Claude Brown, a graduate of the Mining and Engineer School.
Perhaps the grimmet relic in the collection is a German helmnet containing a human skull dug up from the trunches near Verdun by Captain Householder. Four bullet holes piece the helmet and the same number of corresponding holes appear in the skull.
In the case, point to hilt lie a German and a French baynet; the one, short, broad and pondierous; the other, keen slender, rapper-like.
"They are characteristic of the races they represent," remarked Mr. Martin.
Others than those already mentioned who have contributed war relics to the Museum are Captain K. Sheffey and Corporal Harry Martin. The case on the first floor was collected by Corporal Martin.
