UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Charming Candidates Visit the Engineers
For once in its history Marvin Hair was popular with women students of the University, when at 9 o'clock Monday morning all but two of the candidates for "Our Kansas Girls" section of the Jawaharlaye appeared in person and one girl by proxy to set forth their claims of beauty before the senior engineers. One candidate who is quarantined with measles was forced to make her claims by written note. The senior engineers will cast a block of at least 15,000 votes for the candidate they judge most deserving
The candidates were escorted to the lecture room of Marvin Hall and each asked to give a short talk. Various subjects were used for the "speeches" but several admitted that according to the old adage regarding beauty and brains little could be expected from them. Besides, all of them agreed that the horrid old wind mushed them up so that they looked just awful.
The doors of the room were closed to all except the candidates, their escorting friends, newspaper reporters, and the seniors who are to decide the vote. Flocks of underclass engineers gathered in the lower halls to steal looks at the rival beauties. Many of them reached the lecture and wild beats on the door but the beds were refused admitment. The occasion was perhaps the first time since their entrance in the University that underclassmen ever saw more than five women in the building at one time.
building.
The only women who ever admitted being in the Engineering Building said she was there two years ago selling tags. Another promised that in event of being chosen for the vote she would take a course in the School of Engineering next semester.

Sorrowful Slackers Repent in Sackcloth
Twenty University women bent over twenty books and moaned their agony. Otherwise, the library was silent and deserted. It was Friday afternoon.

"Oleaginous monosaccharides, carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Yield energy, build tissues," came the murmurs of the maidens in distress. "Glucose, gluycogen, and glycerides, compound non-nitrogenous amides." Oh, it was pitiful! The iron hand of the law had put a hundred yellow envelopes into the mailbox, and "the recipients were suffering." They had cut the best food for coons. They had simply shamelessly cut it. They had no excuse, and they couldn't invent one good enough to get by.
Eighty of the one hundred who received the yellow letters that requested the pleasure-of-their-company-at-a-make-up-quiz-on-pain-of-immediate expulsion, had excuses. The other 'won't hadn't'.
Each of the eighty had a different excuse, and some of them were great. "I couldn't come to the lecture," said one cutter, "because I slept right through it. You see, my fiance had a furlough, and I had to stay up to see him off on the 1:30 train. I just couldn't stay awake the next day."
"And I," said the girl who followed her, "am a fine arts students. That afternoon I was accompanying."
"Yes," said girl no. 1 as they turned away excused, "You were accompanying me in my nap."
The job of excuse-receiver would have been interesting last week, but it will be dull from now on. No excuses are to be accepted, and the way of the cutter will be hard, no matter what she was "accompanying." The quiz on olengacious monosaccharides will be harder next time. It payeth not to be a slacker, and the authorities will seek to prevent any slacking in regard to food conservation.
Professor: "When the men come back after the war and find women in all their places what will they do?"
Professor, solemnly: "Would YOU marry, a dish washer?"

Army Singing Hard Work Says Butler After Trip
Eleven concerts in two days represents a strenuous way Dean Harold L, Butler of the University of Kansas, Mrs. Butler and Mrs. A. J. Anderson of Lawrence took to do their bit recently at Camp Funston. They appeared in seven concerts at the big base hospital at Fort Riley and in four concerts for husky, vigorous soldiers at the camp.
"It was a gratifying and trying experience," Dean Butler said. "We went from one convalescent ward to another in the hospital, playing, reading and singing. When we finished the concert in the rheumatism ward, where it was uncomfortable warm and balmy they took us into the tuberculosis ward where every open and zero temperature raged. We gave our program in heavy coats and wraps. We sang before one of them who had nothing to tearsousitis and before all of whom were recovering from pneumonia.
"As for those healthy youngsters, before whom we gave the four big concerts, they were the most enthusiastic and vigorously appreciative audience I ever was before and I've been before them all. Honestly you sort of loved those boys. It was strenuous work trying to entertain some thousands of soldiers, but we liked it and want to try it again. The Y. M. C. A. is doing a great work at Camp Funston."

Bible Class Students
Number 1500 Volunteers
sixteen Fraternities and Ten Sororites With Religious Organizations Begin Study
To all of their extra work in compulsory military training, food conservation, wireless, aeronautics and the Red Cross, nearly 1,500 of the 2,400 students at the University of Kansas have enrolled voluntarily in Bible Study. Classes are held in fraternities, sororities, boarding clubs, churches, Y. M. C. A. Building, and Westminster Hall, the Presbyterian student house, evening, afternoons and Sundays.
So far sixteen fraternities have organized Bible classes and all of the sororites, ten in number, have enrolled for the work. The Epworth
League, Christian Endeavor and other societies with student members have turned their Sunday meetings into discussion groups, using "The Social Principles of Jesus," by Rauschenbusch, as a guide.
Thirty-six faculty members and about twelve other persons engaged in religious work among the students comprise the force of teachers for these classes. Dean F. J. Kelly of the School of Education of the University is directing the Bible study and the teachers meet once each week to discuss the work done in the classes.
