College Greek to Be In Eclipse for Time After End of Big War
Struggle' for Existence Will be of Primary Importance, Says Professor Brandt
Greek will come into its own after this war, according to Prof. J. G. Brandt of the department of ancient languages. "By Greek one should understand not only the language, but the many cultural elements which are a heritage to us from the Greeks alone," says Professor Brandt. "The word *aethiopoeia* itself will come popular, but 'things Greek' are universal in their appeal, and consequently will be everlastingly significant..
"Greek for a short time will be neglected even in the eastern colleges, but because Greek literature, art and teachings, after all the centuries that have passed since their presentation to the world, are still of universal interest, and of inestimable value in the culture and education of the people, even of those who do not know the Greek origin and derivation of the many things that will go to make up their lives—because of these facts 'things Greek' will occupy a great share of the attention of people as soon as they can cease to be interested in the struggle for bare existence.
"After all is said, one can offer little explanation of the certainty that Greek will come into its own again is the fact that its human element is so great, that its appeal is universal, and for the people of all times and places and manner of living."
"Iimmediately after the war, people, the great majority of them at least, will be primarily engaged in an actual struggle for existence, just as the people as a whole are during a reconstruction period; and the reconstruction period after this war will be perhaps a more serious and lengthy one than here-to-fore experienced by the modern world.

According to a letter which Professor Sherwood received from the Surgeon-General at Washington, the government does not care to have professors in the schools of medicine apply for commissions. It is absolutely essential that the medical students now attending college continue their studies and secure their jobs. The surgeons and doctors may not decrease when their services are so greatly in demand.
Professor Sherwood will return to Lawrence the first of June and will resume his position as head of the department of bacteriology at the University during the session of summer school. W. N. Skourup of Pittsburgh, Penn., will have charge during the absence of Professor Sherwood.

Chinatown with Oriental Chorus Girls Will Appear on Stage
Plinky-plink! Plinkity-plink!
The banjos are going to make lively music at the K. U, Follies, given in Robinson Gymnasium March 14. Willie Vandersmith, Paul Pulliam, and Edward Patton are going to be there with the strings in trios and solo numbers. Somebody with a guitar will play accompaniments for their solos and add one more sound to the medley of live music which they promise.
The program will go all the way from banjo strings to Chinese fiddles. Harold Stanley is the star in "Chinatown", a mixture of farce and dance and music. It's all there with incense and joss and Oriental silks and wierd eastern atmosphere. Eight Chinese girls can help you to run Chinese music. There's nothing western about this act, the program committee says.
Every act will contain local hits, Blanche Simons, director of the Follies, said this morning. All "big men on the Hill" will receive mention more or less honorable. Each act is working out its own wit and humor and stage business. A dress rehearsal for the entire cast will be held Wednesday night, March 13, at the gym.
