K. U. Boasts Courses In Wireless That Fit Men for Signal Corps
Many Men Prefer New Courses To Regulation Military Drill
A course which will fit drafted men directly for work in the signal corps of the national army is now being offered at K. U. The course is one in wireless telegraphy now given in Blake Hall. No credit is given and work every day on o'clock in an audition three hours on Sunday may be required. But Uncle Sam has the name of every person enrolled, along with the work he is doing, and in the event that a man enrolled in the course is called to the colors, he will find a place in the signal corps. Work in wired photography also exempts from physical exercise or military training on the NIU.
Enrollment has increased greatly since compulsory exercise was started, according to wireless instructors. About twenty were enrolled before the exercise requirement was made, and there are now thirty-five in the class. Two students, W. H. Beitz, of the School of Engineering at Hull of the Graduate School I instructors in the course. Prof. G. C. Shandi, of the School of Engineering, also gives lectures on the subject. Both Beitz and Hull have done government work in wireless telegraphy.
Makeshifts have to be employed in order to receive messages because of a government order that all amateur wireless stations must be dismantled during the war. At present, students receive messages through telephone receivers from a telephone located in a federal part of the busiest area. The practice they get is actually the same as if they were receiving messages from a distant wireless station. It is expected by those in charge of the course, however, that there will soon be a government station at the University of the men hopes to appoint by the States Government to permit him to instruct students at a regularly equipped station licensed by the government.
The wireless apparatus at the University now has the maximum power allowed by the government for amateur stations. Before it was dismantled last spring messages were intercepted from Germany, and many other foreign countries. Regular communication was held with wireless stations at all nearby universities and colleges. The attena for the new station may be set up before the end of the present semester.

Military Drill Adopted
In Many Universities
The new system of compulsory military drill has been adopted at a large number of colleges and universities in the United States. The adoption at Bloomington, MN, made November 1978. Roll call has been used. The corporal of each squad is responsible for the attendance of the members.
The Women's Glee Club and the Choral Union have been combined under the direction of Prof. W. B. Downing of the School of Fine Arts into a Glee Club of seventy-five members.
The University of North Carolina and Columbia University have also adopted the compulsory drill. Many students at Columbia have claimed exemption.
Two Red Cross knitting societies for the women of Iowa University have been organized. Women of the University of Oregon are making personal sacrifices for the benefit of their students. Money is to be used for buying books and providing entertainment for the soldiers.

Former K. U. Professor Tells of Safe Arrival In Paris For War Work
P. A. F. Appelboom Writes to Dean Templin of Work of
Association
Paris, Oct. 12, 1917.
Dear Dean Templin:
According to my promise I write you a few lines, now that I have a leisure hour. It is not often that this happens, so I must use it to the greatest possible advantage. You probably heard of our safety after a more or less crossing, a more or less installed entrance here in Paris, and I have been appointed head of the purchasing department of the Y. M. C. A. taking over all of the army post exchanges which are marked in America by the quartermasters and that means some buying. There are factory in Paris which I do not have contact and though I have several buyers and a good office staff still we are so short of men that am working twelve hours.
Mrs. Applebloom is working here in the Personal Department and is in charge of the military passes. She also is very busy but is glad that he can do such things. Doctor Applebloom already told you about the conditions over here, I am sure. He lived with a colleague of mine, Doctor Trapwell, in Switzerland, Spain and England. The quantities which it takes to load a ship and considering the shortage of ocean tonnage at present, we must buy much here.
The result is that prices are enormous and about three times what they were a few years ago. One thing cannot be talked of too often. That is the magnificent courage of the French people. I am more in close contact with them than most of the other Y. M. C. A. men but there is a quiet dignity, a sense of perseverance, and an absence of all complaint, $\textcircled{3}$ one cannot but admire, $\textcircled{4}$ any family has found a loss, many are at heart factories which are driven by women, and still everything is done and well done. It may take some time but it is admirable so well organized everything is.
The experience of being here under these conditions, to me is invaluable. I sincerely believe that it will be of advantage to me in my future teaching. There are some splendid men in war work. D. R. Benton, president of Vermont University has his office next to mine. He is also of the opinion that the experience is wonderful for us.
Would you kindly remember him to Chancellor Strong? He was at first a little disappointed that he had to stay here instead of going to the front, but as long as we are not in the trenches, he has no more use here, and has a much greater opportunity to do good and be of service.
Exsuite my long letter, I hope that I did not tire you, but knowing your great interest in these important questions, and also the great influence which you can exert, I did not mention some of the great difficulties.
With kindest regards,
Respectfully,
P. A. F. Applloom

City Girls Learn Lots
On Cross Country Hikes
Corporal Luella Varner's squad in cross country military marching encountered the enemy Friday afternoon—several enemies, in fact. The girls came home feeling as if "we met the enemy and we are theirs."
You see, it was like this. First they found a turnip patch right in their line of march. Of course they couldn't be halted by a little obstacle between the turnips and the barbed wire fence and trumpeted across the turnips. Anon a deep and terrible voice shouted, "Hey, you! Get out o' thee." Get out o' thee. Beet out the corner of the turnip chased the sound right back under the barbed wire fence.
The girls went around by the road, half a mile out of their way and came to a pasture. "They can't object if we go through here," said someone, so the squad entered the pasture. No one objected to their entering the right except a cow, which climbed the field and carried wired fence. The girls were beginning to be quite peevied by this time, but the worst was yet to come.
As they passed a farm house a fierce dog leaped out at them and barked and barked and barked. The squad could endure no more. They broke ranks and fled. They ran most of the way home and never looked back to see whether the dog was following them or not.
Miss Josephine Martin, c17, of Kansas City attended the Kansas-Nebraska game Saturday.
Warren Bailey of Topoka attended the Kansas-Nebraska game Saturday afternoon and the H Kapra Alph at the Country Club that evening.

Eldridge Corner. Phones 164
Two fellows who live on Oread and who had just recently moved in, (of course a poor excuse is better than none.) had a dirty bedroom. Well, Friday they got a couple of specials saying, "Dear Son, tell all with us," and the Saturday." A change over the spirit that room, right then and there. The two K. U. students became all day and night workmen, and by the time their two families arrived the room was in order. Woodwork, walls, carpets, furniture, and everything was spotless. Which all goes to prove that when you have sufficient motive you can do anything—even clean your room.
Three gentlemen had escorted their girl friends to Brick's rather early the other morning. They selected a table upon which were the remains of a feast the night before. One of the girls remarked, "Say, these look like the same crumbs we had over here last night."
