Three K.U.Women Were Kept At Camp Funston Hostess House Friday
There has been some agitation as to what would be done if a case of smallpox were to be found in a fraternity, sorority, or rooming house. According to Dr. John Sandwall, the patient was given from the hospital and isolated at the University Hospital. No houses will be quarantined unless the number diseased becomes so large that they cannot be cared for properly.
Among Civilians Detained After Funston Murder Were Three Fine Arts Students
Three K. U. women were among the civilians detained at the Y. W. C. A. hostess at Camp Funston when the camp was closed after the murders there Friday. Dorothy Bell, Helen Cook, and Edna Hopkins were detained Friday night in the hostess house and were released Saturday. They gave concerts at the camp Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. At the seven concerts they gave to the soldiers, the smallest attendance was 900.
The three students were giving a program in a building only a short distance from the camp when the crimes were committed. After the entertainment they expected to go to Junction City to spend the night, as no women are allowed to sleep at the camp. When they left the concert building they were stopped and sent to the hostess house.
No communication was allowed with the outside until quite late Saturday. A heavy guard was thrown around the camp and trains were supposed to go through the reservation at the railroad station. The three were decimated until 6:30 o'clock Saturday night and they returned I to Lawrence yesterday.
Dramatic Club to Give Play
The three women were treated well, they say, but as no arrangements hir been made for their sleeping accommodations, they had to sleep on army cots and endure other slight inconveniences. No civilian, man or woman was allowed to leave the camp and most civilians were detained in the guard house which was packed.
Dramatic Club to Give Play
In the near future, the Dramatic Club will present two short plays, Barrie's "The Twelve-pound Look," and "Suppressed Desires." Fifteen cents admission will be charged, the proceeds to be given to the Red Cross. The plays will be given in the little theatre which seats about 150, so the ticket sale necessarily will be limited.
Fifty-five men at the University of Texas met a few days ago to work up enthusiasm for baseball for the coming season, and each man announced his intention of coming out for the first practice, which was held last Wednesday.

Plain Tales From The Hill
One could almost contradict the time worn statement, "This is the woman's age." It would seem that men were rapidly gaining in importance when two honorary members of Theta Sigma Phi missed the banquet because their soldiers had furloughs and the pledge toast disregarded the magazine "Life" to which she was to respond, in discussing "Trench and camp."
At the manless dance Saturday night given by one of the Red Cross districts one of the would-be gentlemen proved himself a real hero. In the midst of one dance the hostess' high school brother, disguised by a mask, flourishing a wicked looking revolver snapped off the lights, and demanded hands up. Most of the amateur protectors hid behind their trembling companions but Count-no Account stepped up to the young hero and bravely called his bluff.
The cold wind Friday morning seemed to terrorize George Montgomery. A friend, meeting him going around the corner at Spooner Library, asked him what was troubling him. The exact wording of his answer could not be made out but it sounded like "B. V. D."
They thought it would be fun walking across the bridge in the snow yesterday. So the three sisters started across. A smooth place was found on the middle of the bridge and one sister practiced the art of tumbling, "Hey, laly, you fell down!" called to me.
She had not realized this fact.
A hot time was had by all at the Junior Prom, especially about 2 o'clock in the morning, when the mercury stuck at twenty below.
According to Friday's Kansan, Doctor Sundwall thinks the majority of the students vaccinated will pull through in good condition. Our sympathies are for the majority.

Men's Glee Club Concert
To Be Given January 24
First Appearance of Male Singing Organization In Fraser
Chapel
The Men's Glee Club, under the management of Raymond C. Darby, is preparing to give a concert in Fraser Chapel, January 24. There will be a number of patriotic numbers, a banjo and guitar quartet, a male quartet and several solists. About half of the numbers will be sung by the chorus.
Many difficulties confront the Glee Club this year. Military drill, enlistments, and the new membership requirements have all had their effects. Military drill has usurped the usual afternoon practice hours and all required training in special ringing. Rehearsals have to be short, many lasting only forty-five minutes.
Enlistments and the new membership requirements have reduced the membership. The club has lost fourteen members this year, mostly on account of enlistments. A few have ben dropped on account of low grades. No member can have any back work, unless he is a student year and no grade lower than seventy. The present membership is about forty.
Students at the Ohio State University are using their tennis courts for skating rinks. Ice is frozen on the two campus rinks.
Prof. Joseph A. Farrell, director of the club, says the concert is to be a good one in spite of all drawbacks.
Students Must Attend Military Drill Classes Or Lose Credit—Senate
Allowed One Unexcused Absence For Each Two Weeks— Must Make Up "Cuts"
Penalty On Non-attendants
Maximum Credit For Those Enrolled In Military Science Four Hours
Students must either report to teu-
grymanium classes or military drill or lose their credit towards a degree in the other subjects in which they are enrolled. This measure was embo-
died in the resolution passed by the University Senate at its meeting Friday afternoon.
Each student will be allowed one unexcused absence for each two weeks but when that number is exceeded, the student will be reported by the department of physical education to the dean of the school in which the student is enrolled. The dean will notify the student who will have to make up the "cut" in three days time or his homework will be withdrawn. The department of physical education is trying to do away with cutting altogether and the action of the Senate will enable them to accomplish their purpose.
Another important action of the Senate was to make the maximum credit four hours toward a degree for those enrolled in a course in military sciences at the rate of two hours per semester. The students, however, must be recommended by the commandant before they may enroll for the credit. These arrangements will only be carried out in schools having a certain number of elective hours.
Students who have not been attending drill or exercise up to the present time will be held accountable for their absence. This is in the first paragraph of the resolution. It is not yet known what penalty will be given, but according to W. O. Hamilton they probably will be made to attend as from now to the end of the semester. Those who have been regular in their attendance may be excused for the remainder of the semester.
The resolutions adopted by the Senate are:
Students shall be held accountable by the department of physical education for failure to comply up to this grade in the military exercise including military drill.
Students not regularly exempted from military drill or exercise as provided for by the Senate shall be allowed one absence unexcused by the department of physical education in each two weeks.
Upon one unexcused absence in excess of the above the student shall be reported to the dean of the school in which he or she is enrolled and the dean shall immediately notify the delinquent that he or she will within ten days be drawn from registration for credit until the delinquency is made up or satisfactorily arrangements made for doing so.
Students who have been recommended by commandant may enroll for two hours credit per semester in military science, and faculties whose curricula allow for any electives are requested to allow military science to the extent of four hours to apply on the degree from their school or college.
Dockeray To Aviation
As Army Psychologist
Prof. F. C. Dockery, who has been acting head of the department of psychology since Prof. W. S. Hunter left the department, has accepted an offer from the government in the department of psychology in the army aviation service. Because there are but six men who are considered capable of handling this work in this country and because Professor Dockery is one of these six, the governors of Kansas allow him to go into this work. K. U. did not like to permit Professor Dockery to leave, because he is the only old man in this department at the University.
Professor Dockeray will have charge of working out and developing certain new practical tests for use on men. He expects to receive a commission as second lieutenant and will leave for the east as soon as he is called.
