Jayhawker Managers Have Office Hours During Exam Week
Need For Haste Imperative
Junior, Sophomore and Organi zation Pictures Are Also Wanted
NUMBER 80.
Jayhawker office hours for quiz week were announced this morning by Harry Morgan and Don Davis, managers of the official University annual. Their office in the Daily Kansas news room will be open the greater part of next week for the acceptance of pictures for the book.
Seniors who have not yet turned in, their photographs are expected to do so at this time, or make special arrangements for doing it at a later date. Juniors, sophomore, and organization pictures will also be welcomed.
The office hours announced for quiz week are:
Monday: 8 a. m. until 3 p. m.
Monday: 8 a. m., until 3 p. m.
Tuesday: 8 a. m., until 10 a. m.;
Wednesday: 1 p. m. until 5 p. m.
All day Thursday and Friday.
"The photographers have promised to finish all senior pictures now in their shops in time for them to be turned in by next Friday," said Manager Davis this morning. "That means that every senior who has already had a sitting, but who has been unable to get his gloss print from the photographer will be able to get it some time next week. And we want them turned in at the Jayhawker office by Friday night.
"Those who have not yet had sitings," Davis continued, "will be able to get their pictures in the annual by reserving space now, and then letting us have their picture as soon as possible. It is essential, however, that they make reservations for space now, if they want their pictures to appear with those of the other seniors, in alphabetical order."
A meeting of the Jayhawker staff will be called during the first week of the new semester, according to Editor Morgan. At this time the budget for the book, which is now being considered by the auditing committee appointed by the University Senate, of which Registrar George O. Foster is chairman, will probably be completed, and it will be possible to complete definite plans for every section of the book. A portion of this work has been held up until now because of delays in setting a meeting of the auditing committee. The committee has had the matter up for consideration since December 3.
Olympus Club Organized By University Athletes
K. U. Men Will Keep In Touch with High School Athletes
The newest organization to be formed in the University is the Olympus Club. Its purpose is to work with W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics, in bringing about a better understanding with high school students of a University training with special emphasis on the athletic development
Each member in the club will do personal work during the summer months with high school athletes and will also carry on correspondence with them. There are ten charter members. Officers were elected and plans made to hold a meeting Sunday afternoon in the gymnasium. The meeting last night was held at Bricken's preceded by a feed.
The number of members will be held to a small figure. This will not interfere, however, with other students helping out in the movement. They are urged to turn in the names of the most promising high school athletes from their home town to Coach Hamilton or any member of the club.
Willard Hilton was elected president; George Nettels, vice-president; F. I. Martin, secretary and Rudolf Uhrlau, treasurer. Other members of the club are Russell Friend, Lewi Foster, Herbert Meep, Leon Harm and Howard Laslett. Coach Hamilton is an advisory member.

The War Here and Over There
It is estimated that 37,500 nurses will be needed by our army when it reaches 1,500,000.
John D. Rockefeller has given $70,000,000, for various kinds of war relief during the past ten months.
The debt of our government is now fifty-one dollars per capita, or five times as great as when the war began.
The Navy Department has issued an order forbidding the sale of candy to men in that branch of the service.
Fifty professors at Yale have gone into military work and 1400 Yale graduates have enlisted in various forms of government service.
The fourth member of Congress to enter the army is Congressman Royal C. Johnson of South Dakota. He is one of the few Republicians who voted against a state of war.
Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, chief of staff has arrived in France where he will represent the United States on the permanent supreme allied war council.
The University of Missouri has a faculty drill company of eighty members. The men of the company are now planning to drill drafted men before they go to camp.
A delayed press report from Petrograd says that the Russian delegates to the Brest-Litovsk peace conference have decided unanimously to reject the terms offered by the Germans.
Morris S. Halliday, of the New York state senate, is in an aviation training camp at San Antonio, Texas, having resigned his seat to enter the fighting ranks.
Three thousand Indians in the United States subscribed for a total of $41,780,000 worth of Liberty bonds. Last year the Indians cultivated 678,529 acres of land which produced crops valued at $5,293,719.
Hawaii has the first United States military unit composed entirely of Japanese, ever enrolled under the Stars and Stripes. Hawaii's fighting forces probably include more nationalities than those of any other section of the nation.
All persons except those on business will be excluded from Camp Funston from now on. Those who are permitted to enter the camp will be required to fill out a questionnaire even more detailed and complex than the draft questionnaire.
Plans to recapture Jerusalem have been abandoned by the Turks. More than fifty per cent of the men of the twenty-four divisions of Turkish troops under command of General Falkenhayn, appointed by the German government to reorganize the Turkish army, deserted during the journey from Constantinople to Palestine.
The Vaterland, taken from Germany by the United States when this country entered the war, is the largest vessel afloat. It is now being used by the government as a troop transport, and is capable of carrying from twelve to fifteen thousand soldiers on each voyage.
A new order will probably be issued by the Food Administration this week calling for two wheatless, two porkless, and one meatless day a week. This is an addition of one wheatless and one porkless day each week. Obedience of the order will probably be made compulsory for public eating places and voluntary for households.

Dramatic Club's Play Has Gripping War Plo
The cast has gone through the entire play without the manuscripts and the memory work on the big production has been completed. The rehearsal last night went off without a hitch and the work for the remaining time will be mainly in developing character acting for the play.
Secret service men rubbed elbows with German spies, villains chatted with heroes without incurring the enmity of the hero, garrulous "old maids" had not begun their chatter and army officers slouched about waiting for orders. The order came and out of the chaos of the cosmopolitan group came attention and the Little Theater in Green Hall was a scene of action. The cast for "Checkmate," the war play to be staged by the K. U. Dramatic Club, was rehearsing for the presentation at the Bowersock February 20.
"I am well pleased with the way the cast is taking the play in hand," said Professor MacMurray, the director. "They realize that in the 'Checkmate' we have a play of unusual quality and timeliness. I think we are in saying the play can set a new standard for dramatics at K. U."
Lewis Hull, manager of the production, is working overtime on the details of staging the big play. The properties to be used are complicated and the manipulation of wireless instruments on the stage have made it necessary to build special apparatus for the play. New scenery is being painted.

Seniors Will Escape February Mob Scene By Enrolling Jan. 26
College Undergraduates Draw Cards With Order Number In Fraser Thursday
Seniors in the College will be permitted to enroll tomorrow for the second semester instead of February 4, the enrollment day, according to a provision made by the faculty of the College at a meeting yesterday afternoon. The enrollment hours will be from 9 to 12 o'clock in the morning in Room 110, Fraser and from 2 to 4 o'clock in Dean Templin's office.
This privilege was granted to the seniors in order to enable them to get their courses arranged without the confusion, which takes place when all of the students in the course roll at one time; the course will be closed to them and they will be able to complete the requirements for their major work and for their degree under proper supervision. Those seniors also taking work in the School of Education, will be permitted to enroll for that work at the same hours in the offices of that school.
Drawings for order of enrollment of undergraduates of the College will be held Thursday, January 31 at the check stand in Fraser Hall, according to Prof. J. J. Wheeler, University marshal, who has charge of the enrollment.
"Persons obliged to be away that day," he said may authorize in writing someone to draw for them. As seniors may enroll earlier, it will not be necessary for them to secure an order number. The plan of enrollment will be the same as that used last year between semesters. More definite information will be ready by the first of quiz week."

Waits On K. U. Faculty
According to custom the mid-week date rule will be suspended during quiz week. Katherine Reding, president.
The basketball team of the 342nd Field Artillery stationed at Camp Funston has written to W. O. Hamilton asking for a game with the K. U. freshmen to be played either in Lawrence or in Camp Funston. Lieut. Milton Nigg is manager for the team and Lieut. Adrian Lindsey, star football play of K. U. for three years, is coaching the squad. Until the faculty approve the Valley conference ruling allowing freshmen to compete with outside teams Manager Hamilton will be unable to comply with the request of Lieutenant Nigg.
Plain Tales From The Hill
Heartbroken
The sender one and the same They stood there for hours together
They sat side by side at midnight. The slender one and the small. They stood there for hours together
They stood there for hours together
And never grew weary at all.
But now all of that is ended;
Now art of that kind they sat,
They sat, but they sit there no
I've brushed the dust from their covers;
I'll cram till the quizzes are o'er.
The leather medal recently awarded to a member of the class of 1921 for the most adroit excuse concocted as a condensation for cuts in military drill has been exchanged for a pair of spectacles and an ear trumpet. The excuse that the french hand out was that he did not know military drill or five hours of physical exercise was required, and that he had neither heard about it nor read of it in any paper.
The student whose unattainable ambition is to grow a mustache isn't cheered up a great deal by having his friends tell him what a nuisance whiskers are.
A notice on the general bulletin board announces that an engineering meeting will be held in Marvin Hall, at the west end of the campus. Now, Sherlock, did some sportive senior law add the information as to the location of Marvin Hall, or doesn't the average citizen really know where it is unless one tells him?
Students are substituting for the old question, "Whom did you take?" modern questions, such as "Did it take?" and "What are you going to take?"
One freshman, a sorority pledge who was engaged to a young doctor back in the old home town, surprised her sisters during Christmas holidays by getting married. Accordingly, as soon as they had recovered from the shock, the sisters all sent letters of congratulation to the bride but addressed to the wife of the man to whom she was engaged and whom they thought she had married. And then the sisters were even more surprised when their letters were returned and when the young bride, after she had returned to college, told them she had ditched the doctor and had married a corporal in the flying corps.
According to a K. U., professor, "metoerite" is the correct term for our recent visitors of the heavens. Of course we are not in favor of meeting a meteor, but if we must meet her, we want to met-er-rite.
No, Philander, very few men who capture social butterflies are entomologists.
Enrollment of College Seniors
College Seniors may enroll on Saturday, January 26, from 9 to 12, in Room 110 Fraser, or on any afternoon next week except Saturday, from 2 to 4, in Dean Templin's office. Those who are also members of the School of Education may enroll at the same hours in the office of that school.
Seniors who do this can take more time to consult the advisers and others, will encounter no closed courses, and will not need to go to the Gymnasium on enrollment day. Those who prefer to do so may wait till enrollment day, but we should prefer to complete the enrollment before that day.
The Senior Advisers,
A. T. Walker,
Chairman.
College Faculty Not In Favor of Six-Day Plan Next Semester
Chancellor Does Not Believe Such a Measure Is Necessary
To Give Military Science
K. U. Will Give Wide Range of War Courses To Meet Demand
The question of the six-day week plan for the University of Kansas was condemned at the meeting of the college faculty Thursday afternoon, when an informal vote showed that a big majority were opposed to the measure. Following the vote, Chancellor Frank Strong told the faculty members that it was such a revolutionary measure and so uncalled for at the present that he could see no reason for having it adopted.
The Chancellor explained that if 500 drafted men were brought here for training at the School of Engineering, that school would close down for them May 1 if necessary and Robbins would move over to them. But this would not necessitate closing the other schools and departments at K. U.
The college faculty also voted in favor of giving two hours of credit for a course in wireless telegraphy next semester. This action was felt necessary because of the big demand for army radio operators. The same work was given this semester with no credit, but the course was popular. Two courses in military science were also approved, two hours of credit to be given each semester. Because it is offered for the first time this semester, the students may enroll in both courses and receive four hours, but hereafter one course will be a pre-requisite for the other.
No action was taken on the matter of deciding the number of hours of A, B, and C grades were necessary to graduate under the new system of grading by letters rather than by numbers. The plan which the Administrative Committee has now under consideration is that of requiring 90 per cent of A, B, and C grades. The old rule was to have 80 hours of 1 and 2 grades.
What provision will be made for seniors graduating this year with three years of grades under the old system and one year under the new system is not known, although it has been suggested that the two systems may be worked out on a percentage basis so no injustice will be imposed on seniors.
Twenty-five Students To Attend Conference
State College Religious Meeting Will Be Held February 2 and 3
2 and 3
About twenty-five students will go to the only state college religious conference of the year which will be held at Emporia when the State Student Volunteer Conference meets there Saturday and Sunday of next week for a series of talks of world aims and visions.
Ed. Todd, president of the University Y. M. C. A., is president of the conference but because he is expecting a call to the aviation service any day will not preside at the meeting. Dad A. R. Elliott of the Y. M. C. A. and Miss Lucile Y. Riggs, of the Y. W. C. A. are in charge of all arrangements.
Students representing every religious body of every college of Kansas will be present. From Lawrence will go men and women from the two religious cabinets and from the Bible study classes of the different churches of the University and city.
The cost of the conference will be very slight, is the word from Hugo Wedell, secretary of the University Y. M. C. A. Car fare and two meals is all the expense the student will be put to. All other entertainment is being furnished by Emporia Normal school religious workers.
The conference while being held under the auspices of the Student Volunteer Association is to be a meeting of all men and women of the universities and colleges of the state who helped in the raising of the forty thousand dollar friendship war fund.
