Bad Weather Must Not Interfere With Drill; Cannot Use Gymnasium
Uniforms for Student Soldiers Will Eliminate Trouble From Rain and Cold
Bad weather during the winter months will not be allowed to interfere with military drill at the University, according to Col. E. M. Briggs "Snow, cold, or a light rain will not prevent students from coming yesterday," and unless the weather becomes unusually severe, the present schedule will be continued.
"The only provision we could make for indoor drill," he continued, "would be in the case of the two companies which drill at eleven o'clock. These companies use the gym, which was used by Company M this summer, during bad weather. There are five companies scheduled to drill at four o'clock, and these could not be accommodated, so it would be necessary any use will be made of the gym."
Col. Briggs stated that when the men had their uniforms, there would be scarcely any weather in which they could not drill out of doors. "We exerted pressure on him, and he said, 'through the matter of our adoption is unsettled as yet.' The University regiment has secured permission from the government to wear uniforms, but he marks to distinguish them from those worn by the regular army.
"The uniforms will belong to the individuals wearing them," continued Colonel Briggs, "though we may be able to make some arrangements later to have the government furnish them. I would strongly advise the purchase of uniforms by the numerous men in the second draft, as they will become accustomed to wearing them by the time they are called. The army quartermasters will refund them the price of the uniforms when they report."

Evaporation Station Established at K. U
Government Divides Country Into Zones, To Advance Agriculture
The University of Kansas has the first evaporation station established in the state. It was installed here in August, 1916. Only two of these stations are located in each state and the second one has recently been assigned its own rado line. It is the purpose of the government to locate all of these stations as soon as possible and map the country into evaporation zones. By the use of these zones new crops and plants can then be brought into the United States and placed in considerable most favorable to their growth.
The station consists of an evaporation pan which is kept filled with eight inches of water, maximum and minimum thermometers, an anemometer for measuring the wind and a rain gage. Measurements are taken by Prof. C. A. Schull, who has charge of the station here, at 6 o'clock every night and the evaporation for the day is computed. The greatest evaporation takes place on windy days with temperatures of July to ten of eleven inches of evaporation is by far the largest amount yet reported. October being cold the evaporation was low, probably lower than November will be.
Readings are kept from April to December, the other four months being too cold to keep the water from freezing.
Professor Schull estimates that more than 6000 tons of water evaporate from every acre of soil during the 8-month season. As soon as the leaves fall the wind is not retarded by the trees and blows higher from them. Even when the wind can be less, since the wind is the most important factor in evaporation.
Three reports are made of the readings. One is sent to the state weather bureau at Topeka, one to Washington and the third kept at the University.
The University post office has received orders not to accept any more packages to be sent to France. From now on all packages to be sent to France must be delivered down town post office, as they must all be opened and examined by the authorities before they can be sent. To date for at least the last month an order has been down packages for France have been made delivery from the Hill office.

Would-be Dramatists Are Working for $50 Prize In Senior Play Contest
Playwrights To Compete For Prize Play Again
Much interest has been taken in the prize of $60 which has been offered by the Dramatic Club for the best play of college life written by a student in the University. "Several people have asked me about the content and direction of the director of the Dramatic Club, "and we are anxious to have as many plays, as possible entered in the contest. There is no reason to believe that there is not enough talent here to write a play which would constitute the last two years have shown that there are students with talent as plavrights."
It has been the custom of the senior class to produce a play dealing with college life, and preferably student life at the University of Kansas, and the class intends to produce the play which wins the prize in this contest. Persons desiring to enter a play should see Professor MacMurray at once to get some details regarding the arrangements of the play. In the manuscript ready for the seniors as soon as possible, the Dramatic Club has set the date of January 10 as the day when all plays must be received.
Students Limit Number Of Dances and Parties
Students of the University are trying to help in the great plan of conservation by limiting the number of dances and parties this year. According to the managers of halls and to caterers the number of dances and parties this year by students is far below the number given last year.
Mrs. Eustace' Brown believes that students are beginning to practice economy. There has hardly been time she says for the seriousness of the times to greatly influence students, yet they are reducing the expense of decoration and refreshments at their parties.
"The few dinner parties that are given this year have much less expensive menus than formerly," said one caterer this morning.
"Now that the spirit of patriotism is quickened in the students the outlets for it will open gradually," Mrs. Brown said.
