UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 15, 1918.
University Has 496 Former Students In The Nation's Service
Many Names Have Been Obtained by War Records' Committee
Names Must Be In Soon
Service Flag Will be Ordered When List Is Com-
As yet only the following names have been reported for the University's permanent war record of all its alumni, former students, and faculty. This is an incomplete showing for it is more than likely that 1500 to 2000 former students are in some form of service. The committee on War Records begs every student to look over the list and report all the corrections and additions he can and that all organizations will see to it that the records of their alumni are furnished
Blanks op, which the desired information may be reported can be obtained at the Chancellor's office and at the office of every dean. When filled out they may be dropped in any University mail box without stamps or address.
Four hundred and ninety-six former students of the University are known to be in military service. Of this number thirty-seven men are in France.
Among them are seven majors, twenty-one captains and sixty-two first lieutenants. Ninety-one men have enlisted in infantry, fifty-one are engineers, forty-five are in aviation service and thirty-two in the navy.
FACULTY MEMBERS
This list has been compiled by the committee on war records and is far from being complete. Many organizations have not turned in the record sheets sent them by the committee and until this is done no complete record of the events has been made. The list is made the committee will order the University service flag.
In addition to the 496 students known to be in service, instructors and professors and University employees are in some branch of government service. This list is also unfinished. It is believed that between 1,500 and 2,000 K. U. men are now in service.

Flags Will Signal From Gym
A system of flag signals is being arranged by the department of physical education to announce to students the line of procedure for each day. On days when out-of-door drill is not to be held or when all companies are directed to form for a lecture at 4 o'clock, signals will be given to notify students, and arranged so that they can be seen all over the campus. Flags will appear soon on the flag pole on the northwest corner of the gymnasium.
The War Here and Over There
It has been announced at Washington that a new invention for chasing submarines has been invented. The first one will be ready for use within six months.
The average cost of training a soldier in the sixteen national army cantonments is $158. The highest cost in any camp is $182 at Camp Devens, Massachussetts, and Camp Custer, Michigan. The lowest cost is $142 at Camp Lewis, Washington. The cost at Camp Funston is $153 per capita.
Great Britain now has 7,500,000 men in the field, and is calling a half million more. Of those now in service England has furnished 4,530,000, Scotland 620,000, Wales 280,000 Ireland 170,000, the dominions and colonies 90,000, and India, Africa and other dependencies over a million.
It is estimated that there are 1,266,061 women in war work in the United States. One hundred thousand of these are working in munitions factories alone.
Three million tons of steel will be needed in the United States before July 1, for the manufacture of projects. Half of this will be used by the United States and the other half sent to the Allies.

Both Men and Women Students Who Overcut Must Make Up Gym Work
Excused
Those Who Have Taken Not Over Four Absences Are
Students who have had not more than four unexcused absences from military drill or exercise classes since compulsory exercise was begun, will be excused from further work until the end of the semester, according to arrangements made by the department of physical education in compliance with State regulations. Friday. Those who have more than four cuts will be required to take physical exercise every day until quiz week.
Students who do not know how many absences they have may inquire at the offices in Robinson Gymnastics concerning their standing. Office hours in the gym Wednesday are from 11 to 12:30 o'clock in the morning and 2 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Delinquent students, those who have more than four cuts, will be required to make up the work. Listes of delinquents are posted on the evmysman bulletin board.
Those with five to eight cuts inclusive will be required to report daily for the week, January 15 to 18, inclusive, as assigned, for make-up work. Those with nine, or more, unrestricted days reporting daily excepting Saturday and Sunday, for the two week period from January 15 to 25 inclusive.
All students whose names are on the lists must report at the apparatus rooms of the gymnasium, women in the east end and men in the west end, tomorrow at 4 o'clock. In case of conflicting laboratory classes at 5 o'clock. At that time arrangements for making up the cuts will be made and work will start at once. Officers and non-commissioned officers of the regiments are asked to report in uniform if possible at that time to assist. All students will be held responsible to see if their name is on the list. "If there is a mistake it will be corrected," said Colon Brigada.
Four Days Left For Seniors to Turn In Jayhawker Pictures
No Photos of Fourth Year Students Accepted After Saturday
Office Hours Will Be Kept Ir "Kansan" News Room All Week
Work Held Up By Slowness
Four more days!
"Work on the senior section is progressing nicely at the engravers." Morgan says. "The senior panel has ben designed and approved, and all that holds up the section now is the slowness of a number of seniors who have failed to turn in their photographs."
That's all the time that will be given seniors to turn in their pictures for the 1918 "Jayhawker," according to the statement of Harry Morgan, the editor, this morning. "We have been receiving pictures daily since early in December," said Morgan, "and have made one postponement in the final date to accommodate those dates when their pictures taken before the holidays. This final date was set at January 19; and after that date no more senior pictures will be accepted, except by special arrangement.
Office hours are being kept daily by the Jayhawker managers at their office in the "Daily Kansan" news room. Don Davis, manager of the book, is on duty mornings, from ten to eleven o'clock; and Morgan has office hours from one to four in the afternoon. "On Friday and Saturday, which are the last days on which senior pictures will be received, we shall be in the office all day," said Davis this morning. "Seniors should realize the importance of turning in their pictures by this time."
Leaves French in Two Weeks John Martin of Hutchinson, a student several years ago in the law school who lately applied for aviation service is taking a two weeks' concentrated course in French grammar and conversation so that he can pass the examination. "I'm studying French to beat the Dutch," is his own reason for being here.
Work on other sections of the book is progressing nicely, according to Davis. The engravings for the introductory pages have been completed; and the view section is now being prepared. The campus section this year will present entirely new pictures of the University, artistically finished and printed in two colors on specially prepared paper.
Organization pictures, and pictures for the junior and sophomore sections, are also due at the dayhawker office or be turned by you in any time this month.
Uniforms For Military Drill Not Compulsory
A provision stating that all students enrolling in military work next fall should be required to wear uniforms was struck out of recommendations presented by the department of physical education to the University Senate at its last meeting. It was argued that since the catalogue issued by the University contained nothing concerning the purchasing of uniforms it would not be best to make such a ruling. The recommendation probably will be made again, according to Colonel Briggs.
"We have adopted the campaign hat, which the government is no longer issuing, supplying all the men who go across with caps and steel helmets instead. On account of the wear of leather leggings on the wearing of leather leggins by the officers, nor are the expensive regulation uniforms being purchased."
"As a matter of war economy, military uniforms seem to me to be the best money-saver in the way of clothing that a University man could wish," said E. M. Briggs, commander of the University regiment. "A man coming here next fall should prefer to wear out an eight or ten dollarcotton shirt to make away with a twenty or twenty-five dollarcups and should feel it his patriotic duty to save the wool for the government. We are urging the wearing of the cotton O. D., which the government is not using.
Hospital Gave 208 Sore Arms to Men Yesterday—Five More Days
Order for Compulsory Vaccination of Students Brings Hurried Response
Medic Students Doing Work
Women Given Vaccine Today— Faculty Members Respond
Two hundred and eight men were vaccinated at the University Hospital yesterday, and probably many more were treated by the down-town physicians, in accordance with the ruling compelling all students to present certificates of vaccination on Monday, January 21.
Although only two smallpox cases have appeared in the University, the greatest care is being taken to prevent the spread of the disease, and for this reason vaccination has been made compulsory.
The vaccination at the hospital is being carried on by the University Health Service, and the doctors are being assisted by students at the School of Medicine and the department of bacteriology.
Today is the first day for the vaccination of women at the University hospital. Many have been vaccinated by private physicians.
Faculty members, too, are responding to the call but are not appearing at conferences.
Although vaccination may work hardship in some individual cases, coming as it does on the eve of quiz week may be vaccinated before January 21.
Dean Blackmar of the Graduate School thinks that it is the best plan to go ahead and prevent the epidemic and then adjustments of differences between students and instructors can be made later. Dean Blackmar also thinks that the instructors will be very fair in the matter and give students opportunity to successfully finish up their work.
"There will be a minimum of hardships to the student because of his vaccination," said Dr. John Sundwall of the University Health Service, "as faculty members must also be vaccinated."
English War Lecturer May Give Address At University January 17
British Attorney-General Who Will Speak In Topeka May Stop In Lawrence
Sir Frederick B. Smith, Attorney-
General of Great Britain, is to speak
at the University, January 17, if ar-
guers made this morning can be
carried out.
Mr. Smith is one of the big speakers who will address the war conference at Topека January 17. He has been in this country only a short time, speaking for the most part before the war interested in the war and its relations.
In a speech before the St. Louis Bar "The war is at its most critical stage, and unless an immense effort is made by the Allies, there will be no definite decision for the allied cause. If America can get a big army across the ocean, can furnish a big fleet of airplanes, and provide the ships to transport the men and supplies, we will win the war."
"Americans will make the best soldiers of the Allies. I visited the camps of the American force in France about six weeks ago, and the troops looked splendid. They have made a profound impression in France, especially on the women, who, say the Americans are very courteous and thoughtful."
George E. Vincent Speaks At Topeka War Meeting
George E. Vincent, until last spring president of the University of Minnesota, will speak in Topeka at the War Conference Thursday and Friday. Mr. Vincent will take the place of Franklin K. Lane, who cannot leave Washington because of the illness of his son.
According to F. R. Hamilton, a member of the Speakers' Bureau, Mr. Vincent is one of the most fluent and interesting lectures now speaking in
behalf of the government. His father, Bishop Vincent, was the founder of the modern chautaqua system. At the present time, Mr. Vincent is head of the Rockefeller Foundation.
A number of students have signifi-
fied their intention of attending the session Thursday night, and any others may secure seats by handing their names to F. R. Hamilton at the闸 Hall before Wednesday morning.
Plain Tales From The Hill
And now we have two faculty Town and Gown clubs. The other one which has been running for some time, is a literary organization. The new one, which was organized recently, is a dancing club. Some of the members of the first club resent the use of their name for a dancing club in time of war. The members of the new club expect to continue as they started out. In the meantime the rest of us, who are on the outside looking in, will wait for a sign of hostilities or a Russian truce.
A certain professor on the Hill is in one of the worst predicaments known of during the last period of civilized society. This certain professor is afflicted with measles and in order to keep him away from the baby, his wife has locked him in a suite of rooms and up to the present time has been unable to get out or send any word to the outside world.
Last night Jap Glascos passes the house and upon hearing a disturbance was able to make out the S O S signal of distress. Jap immediately went into a conference with the wife but without results.
This professor of the sociology department is badly in need and if any of his students can help him a reward is assured.

Kansas Engineering Society Holds Annual Meeting In Marvin
Engineering Students Are Excused From Regular Classes
Chancellor Gives Address
sion
Construction of Army Camps 15 Chief Topic of Discus-
"This war has settled the question of the college man for all time," said Chancellor Frank Strong of the University of Kansas in a welcoming address to the Kansas State Engineering Society, which is holding its tenth annual meeting at the University this week. "It is proving beyond any doubt that the college man lives up to what is expected of him and that he is a first necessity of civilization.
"Out at Funston they tell me that he comes up to the mark in every way. This is particularly true of the engineers and the war is serving more of the forces than the eyes of the world to the greatness of the engineering profession.
"Some of you who are as old as I may remember the time when there was agitation against high schools. Many persons didn't believe them necessary. That feeling has disappeared and the remnants of sentiment that may remain against higher college and technical training will be wiped out by the way the college man has come to the front in this war."
CON M. BUCK, PRESIDING
C. A. Haskins, secretary-treasurer of the engineering society, announced today that Major Fred J. Herman, constructing quartermaster of Camp Fonston, would not be here tonight to talk on, "Some Features of Construction of Camp Fonston."
Following the Chancellor's address,
Con M. Buck of Topeka, vice-president
of the society, delivered the address
with the Governor, Capt.
H. B. Walker of Manhattan.
CAMP CONSTRUCTION DISCUSSED
Capt. E. B. Black, formerly consulting engineer in the state water laboratory here, who has just been called into the aviation service, will talk on the "Construction of Camp Pike."
Capt. Black had a great deal to do with the construction of Camp Pike, and his talk will be discussed by several other engineers who have been connected with the construction of other army camps.
K. U. MEN ON PROGRAM
Prof. F. H. Sibley and Prof. C. C. Williams were the two K. U. men on this afternoon's program. Professor Sibley gave the report of the committee on fuels, and told of the work the committee had done in the investigation of the kinds and values of coals, oil and gas found in Kansas. He discussed the uses of the different methods of the production and the refining of oils.
Professor Williams who is chairman of the committee on pavements, reported the experiences of several Kansas towns with different kinds of pavements. His report contained mileage of pavements in the towns and the cost and wearing qualities of the types used.
Engineering students were excused from all classes today.
College to Entertain
Students of the College will entertain with a dance Saturday night at the Hall. The dance will be open to all JUU. Students are not restricted to those in the College.
The move has been made, says Brick Chandler, president of the College, to encourage greater unity among students taking courses in the College.
All college freshman, men and women, should consult with their advisors before the end of the semester, in order to arrange their classes for the next semester. This will save time and avoid difficulties for the student on enrollment day.
