UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON. FEBRUARY 22, 1018
Shifted Line-up, Using Missouri Style of Play, Outplays The Tigers
Kansas Leads all the Way
Missouri's March to an Ever Victorious Season Checked By Hamilton's Team
Coach Hamilton made a shake up in the team, using Rice at forward and Knoles at guard. The new combination looked good for guarding the Missouri forwards closely and using the short pass for which the Tigers scored a touchdown against them. The Kansas out played their opponents in every respect.
The Jayhawkers administered the first defeat of the conference season to the Missouri Tigers in Columbia last night when K. U. took the long end of a 23 to 28 score. The Kansas display team defeated Adrian and had a better offensive showed up better than in the game of the night before.
Captain Uhrlaub put K. U. in the lead in the first few minutes of play with a free throw and they were never headed. At the end of the first half Kansas was leading by a 13 to 6 and in the first half was easy for the Kansans.
Captain Campbell started a Missouri rally in the middle of the second half with a field goal. Slusher and Ruffy each registered a counter and time was called by the Jayhawks. After the ball went into play Shirkey threw a field goal. Kansas was now leading by a 16 to 9 score. Shirkey and Campbell both thrashed their foulds went wild. Two double fouls were called shortly and with a score of 23 to 26 Laslett threw a basket and the game was over.
The Kansas forwards were unable to hit the basket and the M. U. shooters missed many shots. The Missourians shot hurriedly and wildly. Matthews at center scored four goals. Ulhrlaub's floor work and free throwing stood out. The defensive play of Laslett was good. For Missouri, Slusher, Ruby and Shirkey showed up the best.
The score:
E. L. C. Quigley of St. Mary's referred the game and Phog Allen of Warrensburg unarmed.

It is absolutely necessary during the war that every woman be willing to do any work which she is capable of doing, and which needs to be done," said Prof. A. J. Boynton, of the departments of economics, in the Women's Forum yesterday. "The government's suggestions for women's work should meet with a ready response."
All Women Must Work Boynton Tells Forum
Many unmarried women are willing to work without wages, according to a recent governmental bulletin. Professor Boynton suggests that these women accept wages and invest them in Liberty Bonds, contribute them to the Y. M. C. A., or other war work. He believes that in the future women must not be married on men for money. After the war, women will be largely the wage earners of Europe. The enormous debts and taxes will not be paid in years. It is impossible that the same condition will prevail in the United States.
When peace comes, Professor Boynton says women will take economic problems more seriously than heretofore, and will have more wholesome ideas about employment for women.

Ye Old Regime Passeth And Man Takes Burden As the Society Editor
Kansan Board Will Elect New Members as They Qualify
Qualify
The Kansan elected a man as society editor for the first time at the election of officers last night. Lawson May, a junior in the department of journalism, was the obliging member of the staff who accepted the office after all of the women on the staff had refused. He is probably the first man to be society editor on a college daily in America. Some of the women had hold the office twice and most of the small number of women on the board-five out of twenty-three. Mr. May has been editor of the Plain Tales Column and has served as associate editor of the paper.
Alice Bowlby was elected editor-in-chief, taking the place of Millard Wear, retiring editor, while James Haddare, past assistant news editor was elected news editor. Luther Hangen was elected editor of the Plain Tales column. Floyd Hockenbull being editor during the last month. Ferdinand Gottlieb was made editor of the War Column, taking the position held by George Montgomery, the original editor of the column.
Miss Bowlby is the fourth woman to hold the office of editor-in-chief of the Kansan and is the second woman to be elected editor this year. The date of the election of new members to the Kansan Board was postponed. There are several vacancies on the board at present and more vacancies are expected to leave open places for students who show themselves as especially capable of doing work for the Kansan.
It was suggested by Mr. Mry, the newly elected society editor, that he be permitted to run his column to suit himself for a week without the supervision of the Kansan Board. He is planning some original ideas for the column.

Ester Roop will lead the meeting and the program outlined by the national association will be followed.

However, that all women students would understand that they would be welcomed:

HORRORS! A MAN?
S-s-h; S-s-h! S-s-h! Nay, Helene,
we're not trying to give an imitation
of a leaky steam register nor yet
just amusing ourselves by saying
"s-s-h." What we mean is "listen"
"hist" or something of a similar
nature. Did'r he news the news that broke
at Kansan Board meeting last night?
Yus, like the Lawson Mrs. was elected
Sassettie Editor. And he gets to run
his columny a whole month without
anybody saying a word to him how he
shall do it. Ain't it great? But
Lawson gets mighty mad when anyone
calls him Miss. In fact he's thinking
about changing his name to May
Lawson so there will be some excuse.
Give heed to this tale, ye feminine creatures who scream at the sight of a mouse or shudder at the thoughts of the still, silent horrors lying in the dissecting room in the basement of the Museum; The Alpha Chi Omega sorority was assembled at the dinner table last night when the sharp ring of the telephone sounded in the hall. A freshman answered. "Oh, please somebody come quick!" came a choked, sobbing voice over the instrument. "Help! Help! I'm locked in the Museum and I'm all alone!"
The sisters immediately held a consultation. A census was taken and a freshman found missing, "Tell her to try the basement door," suggested a heartless girl. "She may not be so lonely down there."
The night watch of the Museum was called and told to release the imprisoned girl. The Alpha Chi sisters waited two hours for her return. Then two of them went to the Library. Away upstairs behind the fartherest book stack they found the huddled figure of the freshman. Her face was still pale but she had nothing to say.
"...NEVER THE TWAIN SHALL MEER"
We went to the movies last night. And there flashed up on the screen, in the midst of a current event weekly, the caption, "A sunrise in the golden west." Whereapen we marvelled exceedingly at the art of the camera man and the wonders of geography thereby revealed.
"Hay, Skinny, 'cmon over! Run like everything!"

Government Officials Inspect Campus For Coming of Draft Men
J. C. Wright and Lieut. A. J.
Etheridge Investigate Facilities at K. U.
Schools in Other Sections
Obtain Favorable Impression— Decision Sent to War Dept. At Washington
J. C. Wright, of the Federal Board of Vocational Education and Lieut. A. J. Etheridge, of the aviation division, are here at the University of Kansas today investigating the facilities of the School of Engineering, which are available for training enlisted men in automobile engineering, aviation engineering, and blacksmithing.
This sort of training schools, one of which will be established if the government is favorable are being or are to be established in various parts of the country for army men from the second draft who have been engaged in mechanical lines previous to being called into service. The course of work is to start May 1 and last until October 1.
In a conference with the engineering faculty this morning, both of the government investigators reported favorably on the conditions here. The big drawback seemed to be the question of housing the 500 men in a capable manner. Lieut. A. J. Etheredge would serve twenty years in the air service, said Rudolph Nassius would serve as a good place for housing the men, but the problem of blankets and equipment was the one which worried him most.
They obtained a good impression of the possibilities of using Fowler Shops in the building of the wooden parts of airplanes and the easy adaptability of the shops in studying engines and theirparts. Twenty pupils work in the cooling of one instructor, two months, a time will be spent in shop work. A very favorable report was made on the foundry.
The same officers will go to Manhattan tomorrow to inspect the state agricultural college. The report on the situation here and possibilities of having a school here will be sent into the War Department Monday. The actual decision, however, may not be known for several weeks.
If the School of Engineering here is used as this sort of a government training school for drafted men, students will be dismissed on May 1, so that the government study may start.
A clarion call has been sounded from the hilltop. It came as an echo to the noon whistle today. The "Jayhawk" scribes and judges, patriarchs and monarchs, have given the word. All next week must art and mischief flourish together. And then comes the court of injury, the coroner's inquest. And when the judges make their decision, the three persons who have turned in the best snapshots or collection of snapshots will receive certificates good for a copy of the 1918 Jayhawk.
Camera Fiends Out For Artistic Snapshots
"It's hard to define that word 'best'," said Brick Chandler, editor of the snapshot section, this morning. "But any student who has ever seen a Jayhawker will know what I mean. The snapshot section is always the livest part of the book—and we are trying to make this year's section the biggest but we've ever had. And this contest, we hope, will bring to light every snappy snapshot in every memory book on the Hill."
It is not only art for its sake, but it's also bread and butter, or rather ink and paste and such things in the concrete form of free Jayhawkers—the prizes to the three adventurous, audaciously and desperately original photographic geniuses who produce the rarest yet not the rarest snapshots for this year's annual.
A box will be placed at the entrance of the campus Monday morning, in which all competitors may place their snapshots. Contributions should be enclosed in an envelope, together with the contributor's name and address.
