JANUARY 9,1918.
Exercise At Four, Say 1917 Daily Schedules Of The K. U. Students
Gym Classes A1 That Hour Are Crowded This Year, Say Instructors
Military Drill Is Popular
Besides the military drill for men at 4 o'clock, there are also classes in floor work, basket ball, and track work. New classes in wrestling have been added. These classes have proved popular classes until late in the afternoon.
On the women's side of the gym at four o'clock classes meet for aesthetic dancing, swimming, basket ball, and cross country hiking. There is a large number of classes at this hour, and the class in cross country hiking is a new class formed this year. Because of the large number of women taking physical exercise this year all classes are well filled.
Days Of No Afternoon Classes
—They Were Before The
The most popular hour for attendance in classes at the gym has changed for 4 o'clock in the afternoon, according to instructors in the department of physical education. Last year when only freshmen and sophomores were required to take an orientation class, students wished to have no afternoon classes. The largest classes then were just before the lunch hour.
This year since every student is required to take five hours of some form of physical exercise, several new classes have been added to take care of the increased number of students taking gym work. The classes having the largest enrollment of men are those in military drill. Ten companies are now drilling on the campus. Most students drill from 4 to 5 o'clock.
SPORT BEAMS
The fact that Missouri's veteran quintet only defeated the Kansas City Polytechnic five by a 37-21 score last week looks good for Kansas championship aspirations. Missouri had four letter men in her lineup, while Poly had only one veteran, and the reports show that the Kansas City team threw a real scare into the hearts of the Tiger supporters.
Prospects are not bright for a winning basketball team at Nebraska, according to the Daily Nebraskan. Experienced material is scarce, and only one veteran has reported for the team. Hubka, the big Husker tackle who scored one of the touchdowns against Kansas here, is a leading candidate for center.
The Funston team boasts of one of the best pair of forwards among the Army camp teams in Hodge and Burkenroad. Hodge was formerly captain of the Williams college quintet and All-Eastern forward, while Burkenroad was a star at Nebraska for several years. Hodge scored twenty-one of his team's thirty-three points against Camp Doniphan.
Two of the regulars on the Camp Funston team were formerly members of the Nebraska Wesleyan five. This speaks well of basket hall at Wesleyan as basketters from a score of big eastern and mid-western universities were candidates on the Kansas army aggregation.

Basket ball in the big eastern schools is on in full away now and Yale and Dartmouth have already been defeated by small colleges. Carnegie Tech defeated the Blue team, while the College of the City of New York turned the trick on Dartmouth.
Harvard has issued a call for spring base ball practice, to begin February 11. Cornell is also preparing to put a baseball team in the field despite a scarcity of material.
Leon B. McCarty, formerly coach of the University base ball nine, was in Lawrence, Saturday. McCarty is a first sergeant in Company B of the 110th Engineers, of which Tony James is captain, and is stationed at Camp Doniphan. He has been recommended for a commission.
Lieut. Potsy Clark, former athletic coach, will be the guest of O. Hamilton Thursday night for the K. U.-Camp Funston basket ball game. Clark played on the Funston team in its game against the navy.
Department of Chemistry
Lacks Student Teachers
Because of the great demand for chemists since the beginning of the war, the department of chemistry of the University is having difficulty in finding enough student instructors. Many students who were instructors at the first of the semester have withdrawn from the school to enter industrial work, either for the government or for private corporations, according to chemistry instructors. There are hardly enough students with the necessary training to take their places.
The department of chemistry has to compete with government industries and with private concerns for technically trained students as well as with the army. The demand for chemists at the present time far exceeds the supply. Students who may be employed as student instructors must be seniors in chemistry and should be graduates.
One Case of Mumps
One man student is confined to the detention hospital with a case of mumps, according to the University health authorities. His condition is improving, and he will soon be able to resume his studies. There has been only the one case brought to the attention of the health department.
Russell County Club Met The Russell County Club gave their second reunion banquet December 28, at Russell. All seniors of the high schools in the county were invited. Programs with crimson and blue covers and bearing the football scores for 1917 were given as favors.
K. U, Man Becomes Editor
V. G. Scriviner, a student in the department of journalism, who was graduated with the class of '16, recently became editor of the Clay Center Republican. The former editor, Fred W. Parrot, sold his interest in the paper after twelve years as its editor.
Doctor Sundwall reports that there are no cases of smallpox in the University.
School of Pharmacy Tries For Passage of Bill To Establish New Corps
Under Edmonds Bill Pharmacists to Receive Officers Commissions
The School of Pharmacy, of which L. E. Sayre is dean, is co-operating heartily with other schools of pharmacy in the United States in assisting the passage of the Edmunds Bill now before Congress. The bill provides for the establishment of a pharmaceutical corps in the army in which all pharmacists and pharmacy students will receive commissions and will be used in the branch of the service for which they are best fitted.
Although at present the government is attempting to place enlisted men in occupations in which they are trained, many men enlist without signifying any special training. Because of this pharmacists in the army are in great demand and in many cases physicians have to do regular pharmaceutical work. Under the Eddons Bill a Pharmaceutical Corps will be established in the army which will permit physicians to devote all their time to the sick and wounded with the positive assurance that every remedy and surgical dressing was in the charge of an expert.
The European armies have so recognized the value of only pharmacists attending to the matter of drugs and surgical dressings that only trained pharmacists are permitted to dispense and look after important medical supplies for the army. Much higher efficiency in the Medical Desk than in the army by the passage of the Edmonds Bill.
in connection with other schools or pharmacy in the United States, the School of Pharmacy of the University is doing all it can to secure the passage of the bill according to Dean Sayre. There are over 50,000 pharmacists in the United States and there are over 8,000 students enrolled in eighty-one colleges of pharmacy. Seventy per cent of them will be the colors in the next year. The State Board of Pharmacy of Kansas and most of the nearby state universities have written to Dean Sayre regarding the bill and characterize it as most important to pharmacists.
Sergeant C, B. Randall, of Battery B, the Lawrence organization which is now quartered at Fort Sill, Okla., has returned to the camp after a short visit in Lawrence.
Harmless mirth is the best cordial against the consumption of the spirits wherefore jesting is not unlawful if it trespasses not in quantity, quality or season.
It is good to make a jest, but not a trade of jesting. The Earl of Leicester, knowing that Queen Elizabeth was much delighted to see a man dance well, brought the master of the school to dance before her. "Pish," said the queen, "it is his profession. I will not see him." She likened it not where it was a master quality, but where it attended on other perfections. The same may we say of jesting.—Thomas Miller.

Health Service Advises
Vaccination of Students
"The condition of health in the University of Kansas is good," says a member of the University Service. While there are a few cases of smallpox in Lawrence, there are none among students.
The University does not demand all students be vaccinated, but the health service advises all who have not been vaccinated within the last five years to do so. It is hoped that by extreme care and vigilance on the part of all students that no epidemic will break out, a small-pox should break out it is probable and the guard of Health will require vaccination of all students and instructors.
