Delay in Senior Prints From Photographer Holds Up Jayhawker
Only Two-thirds of Seniors Have Pictures In, Necessitating Extension
Absolutely Last Date, Feb. 1
Panels Will Be Held Up Ten Days Longer For Tardy
Only about two-thirds of the senior class have as yet turned in photographs or made arrangements for their publication in the official University annual, the 1918 Jawahawk.
This announcement was made this morning by Harry Morgan, editor of the book. "Tie-ups at the photographers' have caused about fifty seniors to be late with their pictures," he said, "but there are still about sixty seniors who apparently have not even had their photographs taken. Some of the number are men who have enlisted, and now they will be in the book. But the majority probably are just slow in getting the matter accomplished. If this is so, I want to urge upon them the seriousness of our position, and the importance of attending to the matter at once."
The senior panels will be held open, according to Morgan, until the close of the semester. "We hate to extend the date another two weeks, because we feel that the engraver should be at work on the plates," says Morgan, "but it seems absolutely necessary that we postpone the final date once more. I can promise, however, that this will be the last postponement; for when the second semester starts, we are going to send the senior session to the engraver, even if some members of the class have not turned in their pictures."
Notices were sent to every senior, Morgan says, early in November. If there were any who were missed, and who received no card, it was not because their pictures were not wanted but because their names and addresses were unknown to the management. It is desired that every senior, no matter in what school or division of the University he is enrolled, have his picture in the book.
The Jaiyhawker office in the Kansan news room will be open daily, as usual, this week. Don Davis, manager of the book, has office hours mornings, from ten to eleven o'clock, and Morgan is there (from one to four in the afternoon).
There is no time to waste. To be placed in the engraver's hands, every senior picture, to be in alphabetical order in the book, must be in by Friday, February 1st. "This is positively the last and final date," says Morgan. "It leaves nearly two weeks for sittings, and those who have not had their photographs taken will have time to get them. Let me urge every senior who has not already had his picture taken to do so at once."

Trip To Funston Has Been Approved By Chancellor Strong

The personnel of the Glee Club now includes nearly eighty women. This number will be reduced to about thirty before an out-of-town concert can be given.
The question of allowing the Women's Glee Club to go to Fort Leavenworth is now before the University Senate for its approval and will be settled within a few days.

Mid-Year Enrollment To Be Held February 4 In Gym—Usual System
Dean Patterson Urges All Students To Arrange Courses With Advisors Now
The annual mid-year enrollment "scrimmage" will take place in Robinson Gymnasium February 4 and will be conducted in the usual manner except for a few details regarding the time and the entrance doors which will be announced by Prof. J. J. Wheeler, University Marshal. In order to eliminate some of the usual conflicts which students always have in arranging their schedules, Prof. D. L. Patterson, acting dein of the College, has asked that students see their advisors at once and get their classes arranged before enrollment day. In this way much time will be saved and a needless amount of worry avoided.
Juniors and seniors are expected to see their advisors or the instructors who outlined their majors. The advisors for upper classmen and special students are;
Seniors—Walker, Kester, Galloo, B.
Allen, Hollands.
Juniors—Boynton, O'Leary, Lynn,
Stoland, Thurnau, Ashton.
Sophomores—Men: Dykstra, Duftus, Davis, Baugartner, Crawford, Owen, B. P. Moore, Stouffer Women: Blander, Stanton, Morgan, Burham.
Specials--Sterling, U. G. Mitchell,
Hellberg, Oliver.
Freshmen already know their advisors and many have reported to them for advice in the selection of their work for the second semester. It is especially important that all freshmen do so said Professor Patterson as the greater part of the trouble on enrollment day is caused by the large number of freshmen who have no definite idea before that day in regard to the work they are supposed to take.
Dr. Charles Explains Fern to Botany Club
Psaronius Lived 15 Million Years Ago and Indicates Connection of Continents
The structure of a fossil fern plant that lived about fifteen million years ago was described and explained by Dr. Grace Charles, assistant professor of botany, in talk before the Botany Club this week. This plant, the Psaronius, is a fern from which a number of different types of ferns have derived and is the only fossil plant of its nature that has not been proved.
Doctor Charles' part in the examination of the fossil plants, she said, has been to show that present types of ferns could be transformed into the old type by the elongation of the stem.
Fossils of this fern, Doctor Charles pointed out, have been known since the eighteenth century, when they were called starling stones and used as ornaments. The fact that they have been found from Brazil north to Great Britain leads scientists to think that this is proof that South America, Africa, Europe, and the British Isles were connected by land at the time this plant existed.

Only Thirty Men Fail To Make Arrangements Concerning Gym Cuts
Few Convocations Will Break Into Drill After Quiz
Week
One hundred and ten men are making up drill cuts now and only thirty or forty have failed to report to make arrangements concerning their cuts. "It has been the purpose of the department of physical education to clear up the confusion caused by so many cuts and yet be lenient with the students," said Coach Hamilton this morning.
Next semester drill and other forms of physical exercise will be on a new basis and strict disciplinary measures will be used. The work will be entirely recreational and few convocations will break into the regular military drill routine, according to Coach Hamilton.
Exemption claims will be considered out not passed upon unless the student is physically unfit to do the work required by the department or is doing some work out-of-doors that can be substituted for regular work. No exemption granted for those being indoor work or carrying too much class work.
The gymnasium classes will be held outside as soon as the weather will permit. All men will be given outdoor work in good weather. Tennis, baseball, and other sports will be offered. You will be a feature of the physical work next semester. Baseball practice will start in about four weeks.

War Has Not Affected Attendance of Women
The war and its accompanying conditions has not affected the enrollment of women at K. U., according to Mrs. C. H. Estaly, secretary to Dean Templin of the College.
Earlier this winter, there was a prevailing opinion that many of the women of K. U. would drop out either to take the places of men in industrial positions, or because they would feel themselves needed in their homes. Mrs. Esterly says, however, that she knows of only one or two cases where women have left school, or contemplate leaving it, because of present conditions. All of the upper-class women feel that demands will be made upon them which they will be able to satisfy only by completing their education, and are accordingly determined to remain in school.

Plain Tales From The Hill
If the suggestion is in order, why not have quizzess days from about Monday to Friday of next week, thereby making up for lost time?
Although there may be no particular reason for thus philosophizing, it has been truly said that whatever a man wants done well, let him do himself. For instance: Young Byron Collins after two tired to go to the library being two reference books asked big brother Honie Hunt to bring them back with him. Honie promised. And Sunday when with Honie in his kerkheil and himself in his cap, Byron settled down for a long winter's seance with the reference books, he really waxed right wroth when he found that one of them was written in French and the other in German.
Shorty Martin has a new reason for feeling grouchy about the vaccination. When Shorty bared his mighty arm to be scratched the doctor locked at it, gasped, and remarked under his breath that there was a little too much muscle for the vaccine to go through. Then when he came to the scratch covered with gauze the attendant couldn't find any adhesive tape long enough to reach even half way around the Martin arm. So Shorty is growing because his arm wasn't tied up properly.
Scent on the Thirteenth street hill Friday: Tall freshman with big feet starts sliding down the sidewalk at the hospital and slides half a block in safety. But just ahead of him he sees three maidens with locked arms blocking the sidewalk. Business of quick thinking. With a calm look of fearless determination on his brow the hero turns from the walk and firmly seizes a telephone pole, at the same time loosening his hat and his equilibrium. Girls titter and giggle. But the frost is equal to the occasion. He raises his hat, smiles, and remarks: "Pardon me, ladies; I couldn't help grabbing that pole. You see all my ancestors were Polanders."
He was chewing gum at the Varsity dance, which was naughty. He also was talking continuously, which was impolite. A wandering hair got stuck in his gum, which was embarrassing. The other end of the hair was fastened which was natural. The hair would not separate from the gum which was sad. The distance measured by the hair between his mouth and her head became shorter, which was frightening. Then he bit off the hair, which was relieving. Now he could talk and chew gum—and hair, which was pleasant.
Which Was Thrilling
Dunakin Club Burned
Early This Mornin
Nine Men Students Thrust Out Into The Cold With Few Clothes
A $ 8,500 fire that destroyed the home of D. M. Dunakin at 1317 Ohio, this morning left nine University students roomless and almost without private property and clothes. The fire was discovered before 7 o'clock in a back room on the second floor. A defective flue had started the blaze in the attic.
The damage to the furniture was $800, and insurance will cover this to the extent of $300. Little on the second floor was saved leaving the men who roamed there with scanty and ill assorted property and clothes. The house belonged to Mrs. Lucy Briggs, of California.
Because three fire hydrants were frozen solid it took many minutes to get any water on the flames, and then the pressure was feeble.
The Dunakin Boarding Club will be resumed by Mrs. Dunakin as soon as she can find a suitable location. The students rooming at 1317 Ohio were: Harry Mosley, Ralph Greenwood, Ira Barber, Olin Fearing, Bascom Fearing, Russell Charles, Frank Maroney, and Paul McBurney.

Official Order Comes Late Requiring Students To Show Certificates
Must Give Proof Tomorrow
Vaccination Ruling Provoked Surprised Comment Because of Lack of Enforcement
If Not, Students "Should Not Be Permitted To Return To Classes"
Students who compiled with the announcement made by the University authorities last week regarding vaccination were surprised this morning when they entered their classrooms, provided with vaccination certificates, memoranda from doctors and affidavits, to find that they were unchallenged and the apparently stringent order of back week soon became the subject of much humorous comment. Many so-called students were "peeved" at what they thought was a successful opeu" and those who had neglected vaccination book on an aq. "I told you an" expression.
As far as he could be learned, not a professor or instructor asked for certification, no official order having been received. But about 10 clock workers were on the health Naviance site distributed among faculty members and employees.
The order asks the faculty to cooperate with the health service by requiring the students to present vaccination certificates today or tomorrow at hospital. Tissue not presenting certification on or before tomorrow "should not be permitted to return to classes after that date until this regulation has been complied with." Less than half of the University students have been vaccinated at the University Hospital. Eight hundred and sixty four have received the treatment there out of an estimated attendance of 20,000. Special hundred probably have been vaccinated by city doctors or have certifications of treatment within the last seven years. Students still are being vaccinated at the Hospital today, an extra charge of 25 cents being made. An uncompleted canvas of faculty members, showed that only a small portion had compiled with the order. They are instructed in the bulletin to send their certificates to the health service by tomorrow.
A report on the vaccination at the University must be in the hands of Dr. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the state board of health not later than Friday, January 25.
County Administrator Puts Ban On Dances At Down Town Halls
Follow
Order Effective Till January 31
—More Regulations To
Follow
There will be no more dances at the halls downtown until after the first of February, according to a statement by Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, County Fuel Administrator, this morning. The older does not include dances in fraternity or security and branch houses, but otherwise will be adhered to stricty.
The dances last Saturday were given because of a special permit, not because the order was not in force at the time.
It is not known whether the order will be extended longer than Feb. 1. Much depends on the coal situation at that time. More definite announcements as to stopping the various activities of the Hill at night, will be made later.
K. U Graduates Make Good
K. U. Graduates Make Good Rollin Feitsah, e'04, of Los Angeles, is one the K. U. grads who is making good, Prof. George J. Hood, who has recently returned from California reports that Feitash owns the Los Angeles Desk Company and while in Alaska last summer Mr. Feitash acquired a tract of land near the government railroad in the heart of the gold district. Feitash said that there was water power on his land sufficient to furnish 2500 horse power and he expects to go to Alaska again next summer to develop his holdings.
