Scotch, English, and French Non-Coms Teach Americans Trench War
Kenneth Pringle Writes to University of Life at Camp Dominhan
"There are some Scotch, English and French non-commissioned officers at Camp Doniphan to instruct the troops in modern methods of warforg," Kenneth W. Pringle, who is in the Ambulance Company of the 139th Infantry, said in a letter to Mrs. C. G. secretary to the Dean of the Colleges.
"I've attended a gas school where we learn to use the gas mask and other anti-gas appliances," Mr. Pringle continued. "Every few evening some company has a feed and invite these foreign non-commissioned officers as guests. Then they relate to us their experiences during the three years active warfare. We asked one of the English sergeants how much work was going to last. He said that the first ten weeks would be the worst.
"There is a talk of a K. U. reunion," he said. "Every few days I see one from K. U. Capt. Tony James and Capt. Hug Crawford are near us. At the Oklahoma game Lieut. Ralph Spots actas as cheerleaders for the soldiers who went from here. We drowned out the Oklahoma rooters.
"It is surprising how much a man can endure after just a small amount of training. Yesterday we marched eighteen miles in the rain, cooked our dinners by camp fire and then doubled timed the last mile back to camp. This morning hardly a man felt the worse for the experience."
In regard to the Y. M. C. A., Pringle wrote, "The foreigners here all speak well of the wonderful work that the Y. M. C. A. is doing in the war zones. The Y. M. men do not inquire of a soldier, who is just in from a week's fighting, how his soul is but how his socks are."
Mr. Pringle held a fellowship in the department of English at the University last year. He was also a member of the Ford Peace Expedition in 1916.

K. U. Club in France Gives "Rock Chalk"
"Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. U." No, it was not at a football game, nor any place around U. U. It was not the team that the familiar words were heard.
It was from a hut in the region where the Forty-Second Division of United States troops is in training—where the Jawhacker battle came from.
The occasion was a meeting of the K. U. club of the Forty Second Division, ordinarily referred to as Rainbow Division, which sailed for France October 20. When the division was formed in 1948, several men from the Hill were in the various regiments although only one unit was from Kansas.
The other organizations in the division are from twenty-six states, ranging from New York to California and from Michigan to Florida yet the men in the K. U. club were found all over the division.
Capt. William R. Baker of the 1171 Ammunition Train and one private, of a truck company, are the only two from the thirteen members of the club in the Kansas regiment. Two are from Kansas City, Mo.
Herman Llenz, who was formerly an instructor in the department of physical education is a first lieutenant in the 167th Infantry, which, previous to its reorganization last summer, was known as the Fourth Infantry. C. H. Lambertle K. U. Journalist, is also with the division.
The other six members are from various regiments, but when the Rainbow Boys were mobilized they all found each other, and the Rainbow Division K. U. Club was the result of the first meeting.
Thirteen members—what may that fateful number mean to the fortunes of the Division, or of the Kaiser? Make a Rock Chalk carry a long way.
Yes! He Counted 'Em —Every One Of 'Em
The day was cold and cloudy, and there was dullness around the office, and the scribe bemoaned the fact that he had failed to receive an assignment.
All of this led the news editor to wax exceeding angry that a scribe should want to work, and he frowned over his assignment scroll. Finally she stood up, looking at the most stalwart, "You shall go unto the bulletin board and stand there, and render an account of every seeker after knowledge who comes up you Hill, and the several conversing with her." The star in the East. "Now go hence."
And the scribe went and stood at the bulletin board where the several pathways converge, and he made an account of all seekers after knowledge and of all seekers after degrees who chanced to come his way. Even though his toes became numb with cold, he remembered the reward of the faithful, and he continued to keep accounting, and setting down memories, to the hum of voices, to the evil words about unmerciful professors, leth become confused, and fail to render a true account. And lo! When he was beginning to wonder what came after three score thousand and ten, the
When he cast up the sum, he found that he had set eyes on no less than five hundred and eighty-six souls. He then said, "The gate is as usual, slipped through the gate."
trumpet sounded, and he went to seek his reward.
Annual Relay Carnival Will Be Staged In April
The University of Pennsylvania Athletic Association has decided to stage the annual relay carnival next April as usual and the final races will be held the last Saturday. of that event, the athletes will cause a change in the date. This track and field meet, which has grown to be the biggest inter-collegiate athletic contest of the year, has in recent years been divided into a two-day program but it is uncertain nat this time whether that schedule will be adhered to or the races confined to one day, or both. The class and number of entries received.
Last year the University of Kansas sent two contestants Dick Trewecke and Carl Rice to the meet. Carl Rice won by a high jump with a jump of six feet.
Use Ancient Fire Equipment
The monkey wrench and ax in the glass case at the east entrance to Fraser Hall are there for a purpose. In case of a fire the monkey wrench is the only available tool to turn on the hydrants. This equipment is not found in the other buildings and is probably accounted for by the fact that there is such old style plumbing in the building.

HE COULD'NT SLEEP-'Til He'd Gotten His Tickets for the JUNIOR PROM
FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, ROBINSON GYMNASIUM
YOU had better get busy, too, and get your tickets for the big social event of your school year, better than ever this year because it is to be a patriotic WARTIME party.
From 8:30 o'clock until 2:00 o'clock, Haley's eight-piece orchestra with those SUPREME JAZZ ARTISTS will make the big hall ring with the latest dance hits. The party is to be informal; taxis or flowers are on the black list—even the grand march has been done away with. It's to be a classy party without the expensive trimmings that made it prohibitive in former years.
A myriad of American flags and bunting will be used as the decoration. The same patriotic design has been followed on the programs.
The refreshments are to be served in three courses and Haley, himself, will play while you eat. There will be dancing between courses.
If you haven't got your date yet—it isn't too late. Get on the phone, NOW—before you forget it, or put it off until it's too late. You'll be sorry if you miss is. You'll be sorry if you have to wait to be told how "Doc" Bevensy made that violin speak his farewell to K. U. parties before he leaves for army service—or how Corti, the inimitable saxaphone artist, makes his instrument moan with melody.
Get that date-or if you already have it get your tickets from any one of the following: Raymond Hemphill or Warren Woody, managers, Lynn Hershey, Joe Mahan, Herbert Mee, Harold Hobart, George Nettels, Roland Hill, Herschel Washington, Registrar's Office.
Open to all K. U.—$1.50 the Person
