K. U. Glee Club Gives Seven Concerts in Two Days at Funston
Doors
Men Sing at Detention Camps,
Y. Huts and Out-of-
Giving seven concerts in two days at Camp Funston, the University of Kansas Glee Club returned to Lawrence late Sunday night. Bad weather kept the men from giving as many concerts as were first planned, and none of the hospitals at Fort Riley were visited. At seven o'clock Friday night the club got off at Fort Riley where the men were hauled to the decathlon. The men carried the aid of a small hand organ carried from the Y. M. but the club gave an informal program out-of-doors. About 400 men heard the numbers.
Immediately after this concert, the ambulances took the men to the big amphitheater on the hillside at Fort Riley near the Medical Officers Training Camp. The regular program was sung to about 800 men. Several K. U. men were in the audience and gave "Rock Chalk" for the club, and joined in with the singing of the "Crimson and the Blue."
The club rested Saturday, and then sang at the big auditorium at Camp Funston at 8 o'clock. A big crowd was present and warmly applauded every number. This was the longest concert given.
Sunday the first concert was given at 10 o'clock at Y Hut No. 7. About 150 men were present to hear the semi-sacred concert. At 11 o'clock the same numbers were given at Y Hut No. 5 to about 100 men. A military band also furnished music at this hut, three speakers were present. At 2 o'clock, a big army truck took the whole bunch to Camp Republican, where about 2500 men are held in detention. Rainy weather kept the concert inside and this cut down the attendance, only about 500 men being able to be present. This was the last concert.
General Leonard Wood was on the train going down to the camp Friday, he being present at the baseball game between the Chicago White Sox and the 89th Division team.

No nom de plumes are permitted in the Kansas' prize poem contest. That rule was established as soon as the first stilucategate of what was labelled verse was opened. There is only one reward for merit, only one penalty for awfulness in the minds of the editor. A poem that is in com—to print the poet's name.
Guy, composer, raised the first shout. He refused to set stuff when he didn't know who wrote it. "Maybe it's poetry and maybe 'taint'," he said; "but one thigh is sure—I'm not confident." The author edited to the ancient rule of back-office supremacy in matters of art.
THE GIFT SHOP
A. Marks & Son
Instruction No. 6 to poets is to send in their honest-and-true names and not be ashamed to have them run with their verse. Any unidentifiable penname will only use the office goat more for dinner. The editors beg that this discourage no one, least of all modest people. There is one great road to fame and that is paved with type, they say, and bears the name of the traveler on the guideboard at the outset of the way.
Burdette Fitch Promoted Burdette Fitch who is with General Pershing's Staff as a field clerk, has received his commission as a first lieutenant, according to a cablegram received by Mrs. A. P. Young, at the Sigma Nu house.
Class captains for the women's baseball teams are to be selected this week, so they can begin to organize their material and to get in practice preparatory to the tournament to be held soon after the swimming meet.
A fair number of women have come out for baseball so far and they are getting interested, because this sport takes as much energy and as wide-awake girls as basketball or any other activity does.
Official records to date have no startling number of contestants enrolled. There is as yet space enough to print every candidate's outburst of feeling as long as it is printable.

Women's Convocation May Not Be Called
Mrs. Brown Believes Food Lectures Make Other Meeting Unnecessary
The spring convocation for women may not be held this year, said Mrs. E. H. Brown, adviser of women. Mrs. Brown has so much of her time taken up with state and national conventions she fears she cannot plan for a meeting of all the women of the University. She regards the food conservation lectures as removing the necessity of the other meeting.
Last week Mrs. Brown attended a convention at Chicago of the deans of women of all state universities. This week she will go to Salina to a meeting of the Kansas deans of women of women of all state universities. A meeting of Women's Clubs and a meeting of the state board of the federation are being held at Salina this week.
If a meeting can be arranged Mrs. Brown hopes to have some woman interested in war work for women to address the women of the University.
