Women Lead Per Capita Sub scription—Medical Students Help
A little better than nine thousand dollars of the expected $11,000 to be contributed to the Y. M. C. A. Student Friendship War Campaign fund has been raised in very slowly. In a survey, of the amount raised so far the women students are still in the lead with $3,554.50, the faculty and employees are second with a total of $2,697.50. The men students are still behind the women with a total of $2,491.10. Organizations have given $265.00.
FEW ORGANIZATIONS COME IN
MEDICS CONTRIBUTE WELL
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 22, 1917.
A few students, faculty members, and employees of the University have not yet pledged. These together with the University organizations are expected to contribute the balance of the needed $2,000.
No concerted effort to secure organization pledges has been made as it was the expectation of the committee that individual pledges could more than make the required total. It was felt that by asking the organizations to pledge, many generous contributors would be asked to give twice every organization. The more organizations have pledged and it has reached the stage when the various societies can and must save the day according to the committee.
WANT ALL TO CONTRIBUTE
Kerr of Oregon Aggies
May Head Kansas School
The committee urges that every organization contribute to the fund. The committee wants the heads of the organizations to hand in a membership list with the contributions of the individual members necessary for their contributions. The registrar has lists and pledge cards at his office. Professor Dykstra, chairman of committee on organization pledges and the dean of the engineering department also have a number of these lists and pledge records.
Waters
Western Man Named As Possible Successor To H. J.
That the Kansas Board of Administration is making efforts to have William J. Kerr, president of the Oregon Agricultural College at Corvallis, accept the presidency of the Kansas Agricultural College at Manhattan, the information contained in the Portland Oregonian, received on the campus today. The Oregonian's Washington correspondent asserts that members of the Kansas Board of Admiration in Washington have been conferring with President Kerr, and have been insistent that he accept the place.
No information is available on the campus as to the correctness of the newspaper report, but it is a fact that there has been a lull for the past few days in the discussion of the possible successor to Dr. H. J. Waters.
"The Kansans" says the Washington correspondent, "have gone so far as to assure President Kerr that if the present salary is not adequate they will guarantee a satisfactory financial arrangement.
"President Kerr, before leaving Washington for Oregon, told the Kansans he would take their offer under advisement, but would give them no more money. He was greatly interested in the work in which he is—now engaged in Oregon, and at the same time is appreciative of their offer, as the Kansas college is rated first among the agricultural state's country, Oregon being rated third."
An interesting sidelight, should President Kerr accept the Kansas offer, is that Chancellor Frank Strong of the University of Kansas was formerly president of the University of Kentucky, who came from the West to Kansas in 1904.

Police Find No Trace of Murderer of Olin Cox, Former K. U. Student
Theater
Cox Shot On His Way Fro
Financee's Home After
Theatre
Olin, M. Cox, a special student in the college last semester, was shot and killed in Kansas City Tuesday night at 11:30 o'clock near the alley of Judge F. D. Hutchings in an alley at Fifth Street and Freeman where she was shot twice, one shot piercing his glove hand and the other his heart.
Olin Cox, who lived at 3428 Charlotte Street, returned, from the theater to the Hutchings home at 624Freeman Avenue with his wife, Miss Kate Hutchings at 10:30 o'clock. He left the residence at 11:30 and was found dead in the alley about ten minutes later.
One of the residents of an upper story in a store building near the scene of the murder says that she saw two men running from the dead body immediately after she heard the fatal shots. The police say that they have no clue as to the cause of the murder or the murderer.
Judge Hutchings believes that Cox was killed in an attempt to resist a hold up. L. M. Cox, the father of the dead man, says that he must have resisted a hold up attack as he had tried to escape which would make him enemies.
Olin Cox was a member of the Delta Tau daft fraternity. He came here from Baker University where he was a star basketball player.
University Women Send Cheer To Soldier Boys
"I wonder what he's interested in," a question members of the University Women's Association are asking since the custom of writing to soldiers in Company M and Battery B has begun.
Each woman has been given the name of a soldier and has "adopted" him for the time being. The send cheery letters, magazines, and anything else he may desire. The corpse has been greatly appreciated, as the letters help break the monotony, and keep them in touch with the life up here. "Even soldiers who have never seen Lawrence are glad to get letters from their unknown friends," said Mrs. Bennett Allen this more than Mrs. Adams, who is in charge of this branch of the University Women's Association.
The faculty organization is co-operating with Mrs. Fred Morris of Lawrence, head of the Home Correspondence Work here.

DECORATIONS UP TOMORROW
The refreshments are to be served on the west side of the main floor. The color scheme is even being carried out across the commercial outlets, but the entire management is keeping an air of mystery as to just what that color scheme is.

Miss Greisinger Gives Curios Collection to K. U
"We are counting on a crowd of about 20 couples," said Rip Brady, manager, this morning. "That number can be easily accommodated on our property and we are hoping by not overcrowding the floor to put on a better party."
An interesting collection of curios from the Sioux Indians and from the Philippines was given to the University museum this week by Miss Harriet Greissinger, assistant professor of piano in the School of Fine Arts.
At one time during her childhood Miss Greissinger lived at Ft. Yates, which was then an important trading post for the Indians. Miss Greissinger knew Rain in the Face personally and several other Indians who were leaders in the last Sioux uprising.
The collection consists of Indian shields, photographs of Rain in the Face, Sitting Bull, and Goul, famous Sioux chiefs; a shirt which belonged to the son of Sitting Bull, which he wore at a ghost dance before the last Sioux uprising, and curious articles made from buckskin and ornamented with feathers perishing inside. In the Philippine collection are interesting specimens of coral. Both collections were made by Miss Greissinger's mother.
Ten Per Cent on Receipts For All But Soph Party—Fifty Per Cent on Profit
No Pay for Party Managers
War Tax on Hop, Prom and Law Scrim Men's Student Council Say
Committee Appointed to Call Meeting of Party Managers
Action was taken at the meeting of the Student Council last night in regard to the larger University parties, which included the Sophop Hop, the Law Scrim, and the Junior Prom. It was decided by that body to impose a war tax of 10 per cent upon the Law Scrim and the Junior Prom based on the gross薪酬 and a 50 per cent tax on the sophomore Hop and the net profit. The 50 per cent tax on the sophomore party is owing to the fact that the lateness of the Student Council action would not permit a tax on each ticket.
It is the purpose of the Council to take the money received from this tax and turn it over to the war fund, War Y, M. C. A., and Red Cross, War Z. The money obtained from the Hop will be turned over to the present war fund campaign.
"The Student Council appointed a committee last night," said Walter Hakekorst, "which will call the managers of the different parties together to cut down the expenses in accordance to the war conditions prevailing."
This committee is composed of members of the Council and include: Harold Lytie, chairman, Hensley Johnson, and Ernest Pickerling.
It is the opinion of the Council that parties should not be discarded but the expense cut down and that the council should social affairs should remain intact.
Daily Kansan Creates New Editorial Position
Because of the growing importance of military affairs at the University, the Kansean Board at its meeting last night decided to create a new department in the paper to deal with all matters of a military nature. The position of military editor was created and George Montgomery was elected to the board. Mr. Montgomery has been handling the military matter and he was elected to the Kansean Board last night that he might continue with the work.
Missouri Valley Eleven Will Play Eastern Tear
The board also went on record as being opposed to any injustice to the students of the University imposed by the imperfect working of the compulsory military training system. The military will have to endure the system as such, but will endeavor in every way possible to alleviate the hardships occasioned by it.
Football followers in the Missouri Valley are to have a chance to compare the brand of football played in the valley and in the east when Nebraska meets Syracuse, Thanksgiving day. Both teams are being whipped into shape for the "battle of supremacy."
Each team has lost only one game this season while comparative scores have the two teams evenly matched. Nebraska is resting this week, while Syracuse will play the Michigan Argies, Saturday.

Fate of Medics Falls To University Senate
Whether Medics shall or should not take the now compulsory military drill lies in the hands of the University Senate and it will decide whether the students be forced to take the extra work. The Medics themselves do not say they will revolt, if the drill is forced upon them as they desire only to secure fair treatment at the hands of the University.
It is considered improbable that the Senate will decide upon the matter until after this week, as the Medics are swamped with quizzes this week and it would not be fair to them to come to definite conclusion at this time.
All students are careful to guard their statements as to what action will be taken by them if the Senate decides unfavorably but several students do not hesitate to say that this will be their last year at K. U.
Plain Tales From The Hill
"I gave the money that I had saved for a new skirt to the Red Triangle," said one girl when asked about her pledge for Y. M. War Work. "If I had not already bought that red middy I would have given it."
Warning!
"Why worry about that?" asked her companion. "Send the naked boy over to your hotel."
Freshmen, this is a tip, intended to be of service to you. Take heed and be careful.
It is an established fact that a group of upperclassmen (and, it is rumored, some faculty men, too) have formed a Ku Klux Klan which is about to take violent measures to suppress political dissent and accordance with the tradition of the Hill. These measures will be taken soon, suddenly and strenuously.
We wanted to give you warning that it is about time to begin wearing those postage stamp hats of yours. Wear 'em and fool those upperclassmen so that they will not have the pleasure of—er—punishing you.
First Stude: "Well, do you find your subjects very hard this year?"
Two students were discussing their difficult subjects as they came up the Hill. They discussed
Second Stude: "About as hard as you make them. (I don't make them) You make them."
The worst thing about military drill, say the privates, is learning a new language, the language that the officers use—no, Clara, it's not bad. What tongue it is, no one knows. One theory is that it's trench French.
How They Talk!
When the rookies fall in on the battlefield at the sound of the bugle, the bury-eared captain yells: "Cu-pay, attenzone." Then, "Right-ress-fire," and then "company's feet are set in motion, and the commands come loud and thick.
"Colum right -hurch! Ho, to
three, faw; ho, tu, left-heft-eft-
eft. Squa right-ho! Cu'pany, halt,
hun, two."
Et cetera, ad infinitum.
When some of this parrot talk is thrown out, the men stare vacantly and long for an interpreter, but believe us, when the first sergeant calls "Cu'pany dusmist" they comprehend immediately.
Glendon Allvine Writes For New York Tribune
"Food" is the title of the first feature article written by Glendon Allvine, of last year's Kansan Board about National Army Cantonments which he was sent to visit and investigate as a staff writer for the New York Tribune, and which appeared on the New York Times publication for Monday. November 12.
Allvine who has been assistant telegraph editor on the Kansas City Star since he was graduated from K. U., accepted his present position on the staff of the New York Tribune the middle of last month, and was sent out on this difficult assignment after he reported for work.
At each camp visited by him, a great amount of official information, some of which he was not allowed to publish, about the conditions of the cantonments, amount of material on hand, plans for future, general information and news of the camp, was secured by him.
The second article, "Clothing," appeared in the issue for November 13, and other articles taking up all phases of the camps have followed daily.
Allvine stopped in Lawrence on his
way to camp Camp Foxen several
weeks later.
Geselbracht Relieves Schwegler

Student Treasurers Must Deposit Funds With Registrar Foster
University Committee Decides Upon This Plan For All Organizations
Money to go For War Work
Classes and Schools Responsible For Finances—Order of Committee
University Senate Committee on Student Activities, consisting of Geo. O. Foster, chairman, A. J. Boynton, J. J. Wheeler, S. S. Catell and W. B. Havekorst, at its initial meeting in Chicago, has general regulations of student activities handling money received from students:
1. The present method of handling money from sale of student enterprise tickets shall be extended to cover all student organizations of the University which handle funds collected by the students, one general treasury in which at least once a week all class and other student organizations must deposit funds in their charge. The committee decided to make the registrar general custodian, as he is now treasurer of the University, the department organizations sharing in the student enterprise fund. A uniform checking system is to be worked out by Professor Catell, of the department of Accountancy, and the Registrar, together with a general system of blank checks to facilitate the businesses of the various organizations. In the case of deposits to the credit of the various classes, the balances or deficits at the end of each year will be carried over with that class as it proceeds towards graduation. The intention of any funds that may stand to its credit at the end of the Senior year.
CLASSES HELD RESPONSIBLE
2. Classes as classes, or schools as schools where the school is organized with regularly elected officers, shall be held responsible for all functions or enterprises bearing the name or function of the school or school. For instance, the Sophomore Hop. The Sophomore class will be held responsible for this function and not the manager. The Junior class will be held responsible for the Farm. The Senior class will be held responsible for the Scrim, etc.
3. Compensation for services rendered by the managers or directors of the various organizations or functions shall be determined by the Senate committee strictly on the merits of the organization or function concerned. In the case of social function, the Senate will receive no compensation, as the class or schools are to be held responsible as above indicated.
REGISTRAR BEGOMES BANKER
In the practical working out of the plans of the committee, the Registrar's office will become in a sense a banking institution the various organization accounts, making regular deposits to be credited to their respective accounts.
At stated intervals, the Registrar as general treasurer, will publish detailed reports of the various accounts, showing receipts and disposition in detail of all funds. In the case of social functions where complimentary receipts are issued to recipients of the favors will be published with the rest of the report.
"The purpose of the Senate committee," says the report issued by the Senate "committee," is two-fold: to have a strong basis for arseni heretofore due largely to loose business methods in the handling of funds, and to instill in officers handling funds the proper attitude and take in their business relationships.
"It will be possible to discuss more frequently with each treasurer the problems of his organization and occasionally, if need be, go before the entire membership of the organization to explain the aims of its financial operations," said Dr. J. C. Loomis of the business experience to the treasurers and will give all members of the organization a better conception of their financial obligations."
