That is the line-up for the Sophomore Hop which is the social event of the week. Arrangements are complete and the big class party Friday will come on schedule. The ticket sale this week has been large and the management of the Hop expects a very successful party.
TO SERVE GOOD EATS
The work on the farce has progressed rapidly and the big chorus goes through its dances like veterans. The official program of the farce has been announced and includes besides the chorus five vaudeville acts.
The contract for the refreshments calls for especially good eats, to be served at 10:45 on the main floor of the Gym. It was decided to have the entire crowd eat at one time and enjoy the one cabaret entertainment, instead of stringing it out over several shifts.
DECORATION SCHEME READY
The music, Shofstall's eight-piece orchestra, the same musicians that made such a hit at the Junior From last year, will play from the balcony and thus give more room on the dancing floor.
The scheme of decoration has been carefully worked out and the committee in charge has given up their knitting temporarily to sew the drapings to be put up there. The gym has been over the top management for the entire day.

Professor Bailey is the chairman of the section of water, sewage and sanitation of the Maine division of the chemical society, and made a trip to Mass., and Camp Funston last summer, in the interest of the society.
"Camp Funston is one of the best arranged of any of the cantonments," said Professor Bailey this morning, "last summer there were few flies in the camp, and the sanitary precautions taken show good re-reasoning." A campus is acknowledged to average better than that of civilians.
the meeting Saturday is open to the public. The nominees for different officers of the Kansas City Section for 1918 will be announced then.
Miss Sprague Spoke
"The Preparation of War Foods" was the subject upon which Miss Elizabeth Sprague, professor of home economics, lectured to the Women's Federation of Clubs in Green Hall at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon. Miss Sprague spent last summer experimenting with war bread and other war foods.

Architects Planning To Write War Letters
The students of the department of architectural engineering have written Christmas letters which have been sent to Lieut. Willis G. Whiten, the first student to graduate from the department. Lieutenant Whiten is now in the American army in France and was the first student from the department to go overseas. Every student of architectural engineering who was acquainted with Lieutenant Whiten wrote.
Plans are being made at present, according to Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith, to have a big war letter made up of extracts from letters written by students from the department of architectural engineering. This letter will be illustrated by men in the architectural department.
Organization Prints Are Wanted Now By Annual Management
Formal Notice Will Be Mailer Out To Officers Next
Week
With Senior pictures coming in satisfactorily, the Jayhawker management announced this morning that a campaign would be started at once to get organization pictures. While the final date for sittings for group pictures has been set at January 19, the committee of the various organizations to make arrangements as soon as possible for getting pictures taken.
"This applies to all fraternities, sororites, clubs, societies, church organizations and the like," said Harry Morgan, editor. "In talking to many students around the campus most of them favored the idea of having their group pictures taken as soon as possible because there will be very little increase in membership in most fraternities, there is apt to be a decrease after Christmas, caused by men entering the service."
Formal notice will be sent to all organizations early next week and the editors hope arrangements will be made for sittings at an early date.
Nearly half of the seniors have had their pictures taken, according to Morgan, and the photographers have engagements for many more. The final date for the acceptance of senior prints is Friday, December 21, and the senior section will be made up during the holidays and sent to the engraver.

Concert Last Night By Christine Miller Rare Musical Treat
Audience Was Pleased By Song Of American Mezzo- Contralto
Program Had Popular Tone
Spangled Banner" Were Ap- "The Marseillaise" and "Star propriate Numbers
Christine Miller, American mezzo-
contratto, will long be remembered by
hose who heard her last night at the
gymnasium for the splendid way in
which she entertained. Many who
teard Miss Miller say her program
was one of the rare treats of the
year.
Miss Miller sang especially to interest an audience with an average knowledge of music. Almost the whole program was in English. Miss Miller has the reputation of being the most distinct English singer in the world. Everybody was well pleased with her Scottish songs and as an encore she sang "Lee Laurie" a song that never grew up.
Her French colonies seemed to please the audience more than any others. As an encorcerer serving the French national authority "the Marsellailline" which brought the entire audience to its feet, and as an second encore she sang the "Battle Hymn of the Republic."
Her American songs were appreciated more by the audience than any others as they brought the aces onstage. But Ms. Doon "do" the doom "do" was especially well-liked.
Miss Miller sang "When the Boys Come Home" for her last song. This of all others rang true to the hearts of every one present. In closing Miss Miller asked the audience to sing "The Star Spangled Banner."
Women Instructors Deserve Benefits of Compulsory Exercise
No Busier Than the Students, Thinks Teacher Who Has Tried Both
"The women members of the faculty should take military training every day just like the same as the women student instructors in instructor in gymnasium this morning.
"I thought all this fussing about taking gymnasium work was superfluous when I first heard about it. Then I talked to several of the women on the Hill and they agreed that the women students on the Hill needed the exercise.
"After returning from one of the hikes I talked to some of the women members of the faculty and suggested that as it was such god exercise for women students why should not the women members of the faculty take the same exercise? Every member would be excited and fitted at the idea and declared that they were "too busy," and besides they "had enough exercise.
"I thought there must be two sides of this situation just the same as any other, so I went to the gymnasium and took work in all the different kinds of exercise. I took the hikes, as one of the students, floor work and the other exercise, and now I see why there is such a rebellion."
"My point is this, that the women of the faculty are not any busier than the women students. I have been both a student and a teacher. If this exercise is as helpful as it is supposed to be, the women members of the faculty should not be cheated out of their share of the profits."
The working men students of the University of Kansas earned $1421.45 in October, according to the report of Lloyd McHenry, in charge of the employment bureau of the University Y. M. C.A. This is in comparison to the $711.60 earned during September by the workers.
Send the Daily Kansan home.
To earn this amount 141 men worked 7000 hours in October. Nursery jobs and farm labor jobs were the best patronized odd jobs. There were also many employment office in Myers Hall. Stewards, table-waiters and furnace men are needed at many homes and boarding clubs of Lawrence at this time. "Many of these jobs could be filled if the applicants for odd jobs come to your phone number address and class schedule with me" said McHenry.
Report Shows More Men Worked During October
Students Contribute Only $6090 for Y. M. Friendship War Fund
University Falls Far Below Average Set By Other Kanees Colleges
Promotion Force At Work
Fifty-eight Per Cent of Men and 48 Per Cent of Women Fail to Give
With the contributions of the School of Medicine yet to be received, the subscription of the University of Kansas to the Students' Friendship War Fund has reached only $6,000 according to G. P. C. Shand, chairwoman of the University war council of the University this morning. This contribution does not compare favorably with contributions made by every other Kansa's school. At Manhattan, Thursday, one thousand students pledged over $10,000 fund at a convocation similar to the one held at the University yersard.
The average amount pledged by men students of the University falls more than $2 below the average pledged by the women. The average of the men is $4.08 while the average of the women is $6.29. Many of the men's pledges were as low as fifty percent. The highest usual pledge contributed by a woman student was a diamond ring valued at $75.
PROMOTION FORCE READY
To make up the $11,000 which was apportioned to the University, at least $5,510 will have to be raised. The pledges which have been received up to date have been from only 950 people. In contrast, the contributions $1,700 at the luncheon in Robinson Gymnastium yesterday noon. According to statistics received by Prof. U. S. G. Mitchell, 58 per cent of the men students have failed to contribute to the fund while 48 per cent of the women students have not contributed.
The names of all students who did not contribute yesterday have been distributed among the members of the promotion force and every student who participated personally and asked to do so. Professor Shaad urges those who have not pledged not to wait to be visited by a committee member but to turn his pledge card at once into the office of the Dean of the School of Engineering.
SHOULD SURPASS AMOUNT
The average contribution for faculty members is $20.53. The Chancellor's cabinet made up of the deans and the different schools, contributed $640.
"As such a large per cent of the students are yet to be heard from," said Professor Shaad this morning, "I believe the apportionment of $11,000 will be raised by the University. But we should not be content to raise only the amount apportioned, when every other school in the state has gone so far above its quota. I wish that every student would realize the seriousness of the matter and contribute every cent that he can afford."
"The idea of men contributing fifty cents or a dollar to the Friendship Fund and then going to every show they care to and betting on football will be more productive than we must realize that sacricles must be made during this war. There has never been a worthier cause to aid than the Friendship Fund of the Y. M. C. A. I cannot believe that stunted athletes will allow their Alma Mater to be put under a cloud by refusing to contribute."
STUDENTS MUST SACRIFICE
Chancellor Strong was emphatic in his statement that the University must not bear the stigma of being the only University in the United States that failed to come up to its apportionment.
Go To Church Month This Year Is A Big Success
"Go to Church Month" has been well observed this year and reports show that there is a very noticeable increase in attendance. Next Sunday will be Homecoming Day and every one is to come and bring all his friends.
Last Sunday was "Lawrence Sunday" and every church played up local problems. The morning services were spent in several churches with the family. They played up the home situation while the evening was given over to lay services.
Mrs. Hazel Allison Forde of Emporia grand vice-president of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority spent Sunday and at Sunday at the Theta house.
K. U. Man Is Promoted At Newport Naval Camp
A. F, Snook, c19, who is at the training station in the executive office at Newport, Rhode Island, writes that the naval training station located there is similar to the training given Camp Funston. Mr. Snook enlisted in May and has been advanced to first class yeoman.
"I began operating a mimeograph and was soon given charge of a new division which now does the work of giving information to about 8,000 men. The division has only five men to do all this work. It is no small task."

Plain Tales From The Hill
Mr. Willard Wattos has written a poem which appear in "Contemporary Poetry."
I have had a gray one
I have had a bad love,
And a drabbly-gray one
I have had a red love,
I have had a new one
I have had a purple one
"ever is the true one."
Now who would have imagined that our poet-prof. is such a Don Juan? He must be a reg'llar flirt.
"I悲ident that LeRoy Peek does not write letters to France. Somebody asked him what the abbreviation "A. E. F." means.
"Wal," said Peek, "I guess it's something out of the Bible."
Of course, the American Expedition-

their mission.
A student found Professor Ise of the economics department grading papers. He had 'em all spread out on the table and he was grading question two on each paper. When he finished that he began on question three and went all through the set of papers grading it.
"Just why," asked the student, "do you use that inefficient system? You squander your energy by making all those extra motions. You ought to work on one paper until you finish it." "Oh," said Professor Ise, "I'm not a professor yet. I'll far more efficient than the other. When I grade a set of quizzes this way the mortality is much greater than when I use the old system."
Lillian Martin, whose father is commanding officer at Camp Doniphan, Fort Sill, got homesick last night. Accordingly she decided to call up her
"How much do you suppose it will cost?" she wondered.
"All right," said Lillian, "then I won't have the charms reversed."
"Oh, about a dollar," said one of the other Sigma Kannas.
She put in her call, and talked to her distant family for three whole minutes. Then she came to satisfy her friend, who asked her what the cost of the call had been.

The Frosh's Reverie
They kangarooed me!
Dawggone!
Dawgone! I feel as if a million needles, Red-hot and double-pointed, in the middle of my body When I sit down.
Last night when I got back
I was hungry.
I slipped into the kitchen
And must have et
Most all that cake.
A brother saw me,
And they warmed my pants
Most awful hot.
Next year I'll be a soph,
Then some boob frosh,
Some poor, green and cocky fish,
Will pull the overt act.
Looks awful!
He'll take all his meals
Standin' up!
Dorothy Riddle has shocked the Fine Arts faculty with her profanity. But according to Dorothy nothing is so provoking as to have a heavy door swing to on you, and scatter your legs around her. This happened to her as she was coming out of Blake Hall. Accordingly she gave vent to her feelings in language rather strong for a Fine Arts student and a dignified senior at that; and she made sure one of her Profs. Visions of Funkis and unsatisfactory reports!
Our tale is not finished. Dorothy is to appear before the Fine Arts faculty and tell them why she is so profane and describe her demeanor. Dan Butler will decide whether she was justified in her "speech to the door."
Must Stiffen Morale Of Boys In Trenches To Whip Huns—White
Iarry White Makes Stirring Appeal To Students For Y. M. C. A. Fund
Clean Recreation Essential
Trenches
Disease Claims Thousands Of Men Before They Reach
"The morale of the men on the western front, of the soldiers south of the Alps, of the Russians in the east, and of the prisoners in the horrible fighting at Kursk, we are to win this war. Those men are fighting for us, and aid, in the form of the Red Triangle hut of the town A., A., must come from America once."
This is the keynote of the stirring message of Harry White, who has recently returned from Y. M. C. A. work on the battlefield of Europe and Asia, to the entire student body in Gymnasium yesterday afternoon.
MEN BOTTING IN CAMP
"Thousands of soldiers of the allies, among them hundreds of Americans, are literally rotting away in prison camps of Germany," deared Mr. White. "Many of these men have not heard from home for two or three years. They are wondering about their loved ones, about old college friends and about their sweethearts from whom they never hear.
"Many of these men are so nearly gone that they cannot tell what country they come from. Scores of orchestras recently have been started in these camps and 250 schools have been built to help them revive the fallen spirit of the prisoners. It is up to America to open her heart and save them."
TEMPTATIONS EVERYWHERE
Mr. White said thousands of soldiers had been lost to the Allies in the region of the Dardanelles because they did not have the strength of character to withstand intense temptation without the aid of clean weapons. The men begged that Y. M. C. A. huts be established there and that they had written countless appeals to the authorities for the Red Triangle huts. When the Y. M. C. A. finally received them, the authorities established in Egypt and Palestine and now there are forty of them within twenty miles of Jerusalem.
"Raw recruits at the Dardanelles went through a test of character that perhaps no man here will ever be able to understand. White." "They went into the city of Cairo for a little rest for their nerves. Here hundreds of thousands of these men were incapacitated before they had ever seen the enemy, so no place in that city of 750,000 where a man could go to get innocent amusement.
Y. M. HUTS HELP
"Soon after this, the first Red Triangle Y. M. A. C. hut was built in Cario. Thousands of soldiers came there where they could hear good music, see a decent moving picture, read books and write letters home."
Mr. White said that even the Turks respected the Red Triangle, and that when a Y. M. C. A. tent was set up by a Turkish police officer on the Turkish lines, not a shell was fired upon it. The Turks remembered the great work done by this organization among the citizens of Constantinople six years before. He said that soldiers cheered for the Y. M. C. A. as they moved their little huts on the way to the front.
"The war is going to be a test of character," the speaker concluded. "We must send over a fine group of veterans from Europe to fight. In the words of Admiral Beatty of the British Navy, 'There will be no righteous peace until England comes to God.' That applies to America and other Allied nations as well."
No Tax on Missouri Game?
F. E. Meanwell, athletic director at Missouri, is opposed to having those who see the Missouri-Kansas game at Columbia Thanksgiving day pay the $10 million he well said yesterday that he believed that the receipts for the game should be exempt from the tax on amusements as these will be used for educational purposes. The expected amount in receipts will bring $1,500 if taxed.
And there are still professors who think their classes are the only ones on the Hill. And then the whistle blows. They are:
