京 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NUMBER 43. VOLUME XV. University Launches Tremendous War Fund Drive—$11,000 Goal Harry White, International Y. M. C. A. Worker Starts Campaign To Raise Fund In Two Days At Luncheon For Promotion Force Monday Noon. Nation-wide University Campaign To Raise One Million Money To Be Used In Cleaning Up Prison Camps, Ministering To Wounded, Supplying Needs Of Soldiers, And Making Camp Life Tolerable Bending with a will to the tremendous task of carrying the University of Kansas through a campaign unprecedented in the history of the institution, in both magnitude and importance, the finance committee of the war council of the University yesterday afternoon set into operation the machinery that is expected to raise $11,000 before Tuesday night for the Students' Friendship War Fund. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 15, 1917 The $11,000 that K. U. is being asked to raise is but a part of the $1,200,000 relief fund that the universities and colleges of America have pledged themselves to subscribe. It is only remotely connected with the other campaign being launched through the Y. M. C. A. which is to raise $35,000,000 from the country at large for the same purpose. It provides a specific amount based upon its enrollment, so that each institution will share the burden proportionately. K. U. has an enrollment of approximately 2,200, which means that an average of $5 per student will have to be subscribed. Contrary to the idea of many persons on the Hill, this campaign is not a local Y. M. C. A. effort. It is more. It is a campaign that is distinctly a nation-wide university undertaking and will be carried on by the committee, which has been designated further Strong to handle all war applications to the University. TO MAINTAIN MORALE OF ARMY Fifty per cent of the amount will go to cleaning up the prison camp of pestilence, vermin, and disease, and making life more bearable; ten per cent will be used for the Student Christian Federation; twenty per cent will be used by the Y. M. C. A. in its immense task of ministering to the wounded, supplying the petty needs of the soldiers, and taking up the work of making camp life tolerable and the remaining twenty in similar work by the Y. W. C. A. TO WARNANCE As has been before intimated, the military station will be used in work of maintaining the morale of the American army on the front as well as those of our allies. It will be placed at the disposal of the Y. M. C. A. organization now working at the front. MONSTER CONVOCATION PLANNED The campaign will begin with a luncheon for the promotion force Monday in New York City, followed by international Y. M. C. A. worker will be the speaker of the occasion. Finance, George O. Foster, chairman. At 4 o'clock Monday afternoon there will be a big all-University convocation at which Harry White will speak again and the first big guns of the case will be introduced in charge, this convocation or mass meeting will be of unusual interest to every student and professor on the Hill. It will be an opportunity for every man to acquaint himself with real status of institutions in Europe. At the meeting of the finance committee yesterday, the following committees were named to put the campaign "across:" Ushers, Prof. J. J. Wheeler, chairman. Luncheon, Hugo Wedell, chairman, Publicity, Harley Holden, chairman, Katherine Duffield, and Prof. L. N. Flint. Organization please: OTHER COLLEGE SUBSCRIBE WELL Promotion Force, to be named later Organization pledges. OTHER COLLEGES SUBSCRIBE WELL The energies of the entire University from the Chancellor down to the students, are to be utilized in an effort to have students, in which the University may be proud. Other universities and colleges are already in the midst of their campaigns and some have completed their subscriptions. Ames has just wound up a whirlwind campaign that netted returns far in excess of her goal. McPherson College has covered herself with glory by contributing more than $22,000. Vassar is another that has filled his hands. What K. U. will be reached on every hand that the goal will be reached if not oversubcribed. The University Museum has received the loan of a collection of 5,000 bird skins for an indefinite period. It is the private collection of F. A. Wetmore, a K. U. graduate now living at Washington, D. C., and contains specimens from all over the world. The skins have arrived packed in boxes, and will be placed in the vaults on the second floor of the building for the purpose of study and comparison. The skins are part of a one according to C. D. Bunker, curator in charge of the Museum, and will be of great scientific value to students. Official Military Notices Headquarters K. U. Rgt All men should provide themselves with a copy of the Infortry Drill Regulations (I. D. R.) as soon as possible. A few are now available at the local store. For the present, for the section work (study of the manuals) regularly at the selected periods (11, 2, 4, or 5) most of the companies will be divided into two sections. Companies B, E, F, and D being the only ones not so divided this week. Captains will see to the division of their companies and designate them, A1, A2, F1, F2, etc., and will distribute a charge of the second section if there are two sections, taking one themselves. The following assignment of rooms is made: 11:00 A1 Captain as leader Ad 101 A01 Captain as leader Ad 101 A2 Lieutenant as leader Ad103 B unindividual, Captain as leader Ad 310 2000 11 Captain as leader Ad 101 12 Lieutenant as leader Ad 102 K1 Captain as leader Ad 107 K2 Lieutenant as leader Ad 108 Captain as leader Leader ;00 E undivided.

Majors are asked to oversee the carrying out of these instructions and to be ready to lead a section if it seems necessary or desirable. Faculty men will be secured as leaders, beginning next Thursday. E. M. Briggs, Commanding All students desiring excuses from military drill as a consequence of illness must obtain them at the University Hospital. All men who are to take work in the department of military science and tactics must see to it that they are regularly enrolled in the department of physical education for military training. E. M. Briggs, Commanding This applies to officers as well as to enlisted men, and should, by all means, be regarded with respect. The tactical staff will meet at 12 o'clock in the trophy room of the gymnasium. Along with the rest of the institutions that are aiding our Sammies, the extension division of the University is doing its part. At the present time there are nine men at Camp Funston and four at Ft. Stil who are continuing their college work by correspondence, and from two to five inquiries regarding courses they are received during the classes report growing interest in French among the soldiers. The enrollment in the various camps is lessened on account of the resident classes conducted by the Y. M. C. A. E. M. Briggs orders that drill be held tomorrow afternoon as usual, because the Harry White lecture has been postponed until Monday. Extension Department Helps Hugh Garville, e18, has just graduated from the aviation school at Rantoul, Illinois, with a first lieutenancy, and is now on his way to France. He is a graduate of Yale—who that is, to fly alone—in the class at Rantoul last summer. Cross Country Classes Take Up Military Work --lawrence Milk Contains Bacteria and Is Only Two Per Cent Fat Cross country classes for women were held in Robinson Gymnasium Tuesday afternoon, and elementary instruction was given in marching tactics instead of outdoor road work. The cross country course is a military nature. Drills will be held on the campus part of the time, and the object will not be to cover as much ground as possible, but to improve the technique of marching. Squads are being carefully organized, and squad leaders, who have had extensive training in gymnastics have been chosen by Hazel Pratt and Mary Bacon, instructors in physical training for women. Medics Ask Exemption From Military Drill In Petition To Board Threaten To Withdraw From School If Request Is Not Granted Not Going To Compromise All Feel They Are Doing Duty By Carrying Extra Work Unless a petition drawn up at the Phi Chi house last night by forty or fifty students of the School of Medicine is acted upon favorably, Medicies threaten to withdraw from the University. The petition which will be submitted to the Chancellor and the Exemption Board of the University asks exemption medical students from university training. They are fulfilling their duty to their country, they declare, by carrying extra work, and that it would be unfair to encroach upon the time necessary to their studies. "It is not that the men are not loyal to K. U.," said one of the prominent men in the School of Medicine this morning. "They feel it is their duty to their clients, and they work with them for their ability so they can go into the service sooner. ARE NOT DISLOYAL THEY SAY "Most of the men have an average of twenty-one hours of school work a week and are on the Hill from 8 until 5 daily. The least work any one has is eight, as high as twenty-five. Practically all of the work is laboratory work. NOT GOING TO COMPROMISE "We men are not going to compromise" he continued. "We feel too keenly it is our duty to get through school and onto the field." "The question is largely a matter of time," another student said. "We like exercise well enough, but we simply haven't time for any more work. We have practically no time to ourselves and feel overworked as it is." The freshmen medics are hit harder than others, it is asserted. The sophomores will be sent to Rosedal in the spring and the juniors will have the added work all year. W. S. Long Makes Food Analysis Of Cost To Consumer (Continued on page 4) Lawrence and Douglas County Make Appropriations For Food Inspection Inspector Visits Lawrence F. H. Newell Will Speak On Reclamation Service Impure milk, containing 75 per cent water is being sold in Lawrence, according to W. S. Long, analyst in the chemistry food laboratories who has been making tests on Lawrence milk. "The milk situation in Lawrence is a serious one. There is an inspection of drinking water, and milk, a better medium for carrying germs, is allowed to contain as many as 100,000 B Coli per cubic centimeter." On Reclamation IMPURE AND UNSANITARY MILK Since September Mr. Long has been analyzing the average grades of milk sold here, and found practically all of them were sold at 10c a quart when there was only about 2 per cent fat. This means 10c was paid for nothing more than skimmed milk. In addition to the lack of the required fat percentage, dirt was found present. By measuring it, Mr. Long being the driest town in the state of Kansas at a recent State Board of Health meeting. F. H. Newell will lecture in Fraser Chagel Friday at 7:30 o'clock on "How the Government Aids Food Production Through Reclamation Service." This is an important and timely subject, and every one is urged to attend. The lecture will be illustrated with colored lantern slides. Mr. Newell is from the Engineering School of the University of Illinois. He has been in government service some time, having been connected with irrigation projects. A great deal of attention is being paid to this reclamation service at present for it is believed that it will be of the greatest importance in increasing the food supply. Thundering Thousands Of Years Gone By Will Join Lusty "Rock Chalk" 1 Grads Start Influx For Clash With Mighty Cornhuskers Senior Smoker For Alumni Annual Reunion of Graduates With Fourth Year Students Friday When the Huskers meet the Hawkers on McCook Field Saturday afternoon for the Missouri Valley football title, the Kansas sections of the stands will be strengthened by hundreds of old grads who are coming back on the one biggest day of the school calendar to join in rolling "Rock Chalk" across the field as in days gone by and to cheer their team to victory. Saturday is homecoming day for K. U. alumni and Lawrence will be in gala array for the reception of the big army of old grads, the five hundred Nebraska rooters who will arrive Saturday at graduation who are coming from every point in the valley to witness the football classic. SENIOR SMOKER FOR ALUMNI One of the features of the home-coming celebration will be the senior-alumni smoker which will be given by the University seniors Friday night in honor of the returning graduates. It will be held in the rooms of the merchants' assorted gift shops and given to be present and an excellent program has been arranged "The Senior-Alumni smoker is one of the most valuable of K. U. traditions and we are going to make it a joyful experience for you to enjoy one for the old grades," said Warren Wattles, president of the senior class, this morning. "The seniors realize that it is their only chance to entertain the older generation they are going to make the best of it." SNAPPY TALKS TO FEATURE A program has been prepared by the smoker committee which will include talks by Chancellor Strong, Uncle Jimmy Green, Vice-Chancellor Burdick, Thomas Sweeney, president of the merchants' association, Prof. H. W. Mackenzie, a psychologist speaking, and Coach W. O. Hamilton. In addition, there will be an abundance of refreshments, yarns by the old grads, a fast boxing bout and a good corn-cob pipe smoke with plenty of tobacco for everybody. Music will be played by a quartet of barter shop artists supported by an orchestra of ukes. Will Beat Nebraska Tonight In Monster Rally Downtown LAWRENCE IN HOLIDAY DRESS Lawrence has already begun to assume a holiday appearance and when the visitors begin to flock in today evening the students interact with the Crimson and Blue of Kansas and the Red and White of Nebraska decorating every window on Massachusetts street, and Jayhawker and Cornhushaker banners in evidence everywhere. Every train Saturday morning will carry scores of visitors, with the climax occurring when the Husker special pulls in with Coach Stewart's 500 supporters. Reports from the seat sale at Manager Hamilton's office indicate that at least 9,000 people will be on hand to witness the game. Numerous specials from Kansas City will bring the football followers of that city to Lawrence. The music will begin promptly at 7 o'clock and the speeches are scheduled for 8 o'clock. The smoker will be open to seniors and graduates and no admission will be charged to the old grads. LAWRENCE IN HOLIDAY DRESS Practically every organization on the Hill will entertain visitors Friday and Saturday. Saturday will be a busy day for the fraternities and sororites, for many of the Greek letter organizations will be hosts to the Nebraska chapters and dances and dinners will be numerous. The Rota Club will hold a short meeting at five o'clock this evening in the Fraser rest room. Tin Cans, Pans, Sticks, and Other Noise-Making Instruments Will Be In Order At Big Pep Meeting Before Cornhusker Game Rooters Will Be Out To Get Ready For Deciding Game Hamilton, Rusty Friend, Coach Bond, and Other Celebrities Will Tell of What Eleven Is To Do Against Ancient Enemy Saturday Let's beat Nebraska Again We have done it. We did it last year. We can do it. Let's go. Rally! Rally! Rally! Everybody Out! Oy, Oy, Oy! Dees go. Rally. Rally. Rally. Everyone goes on Chances for victory are most favorable and tonight comes the opportunity to show the fighting Kansas team that all K. U. is behind them with all spirit and punch in the world. The latest form of entertainment for a keen date was developed this summer in military and prospectively-military circles. Mr. Soldier and his girl would take a little trip to the US Navy base at Mammy Liza and Mrs. X. Y. Smythe Medium, found these couples a veritable silver mine. Plain Tales From The Hill In the course in magazine writing questions of correct usage are discussed. The students are all anxious to learn to express their ideas with exactness and precision. That is why John Montgomery said earnestly to the professor: "If a chicken is a fowl, is a turkey a bird?" There is a K. U. professor's daughter who gets letters from Funston—well, every once in awhile. Since the epidemic of meningitis broke out in camp the girl's mother is worried. As a result, the letter the girl gets has to be humigated before it is read. The course of true love never will run smooth! But some funny things happened in connection with these new-style dates. One fussier escorted a girl to his room, where she was young and timid, a regular clinging vina. Said the palm-reader: "Miss you were made to an animal trainer. You were born to tame savage animals," is the one thing you are fitted for." Of course, Clinging Vina open- side with astonishment "Why, I could!" "Oh, yes, you could," cried Mr. Fusser, eager to reearer her. "Of course, you have that talent. That is what you have so much influence over me." They were standing on the front porch of the Alpha Delta Pi house one evening—he and she. He was making a most graceful and Chesterfield-like bow to her, when he was suddenly attacked from the rear by a missile in heavy K. Star thrown by the brawny warrior. Not realizing the source of the attack, he of the bow straightened with a jerk and looked for his assailant. She was the only one around, but he couldn't accuse her—oh, no! A Few Too Many This happened just last week, alm most two months after fraternity pledging took place. A house dance and a girl turned to her partner. "Who is that pledge standing over there?" she asked. "Oh," said he, "it's one of our pledges." "But what's his name " she persisted. "Why," said the upperclassman sheepish, "I really don't know. We have so many freshmen that I can't remember all their names." The men in military drill have a hard time keeping warm these cold days, for every time they put their hands in their pockets to warm them up a bit they are ordered to stand at attention. The Quill Club will meet at 8 o'clock tonight in the rest room in Fraser Hall. Prof. Willard Wattles will talk to the members of the club. She had broken the mid-week date rule and her conscience hurt her. But she was not expecting any terrible retribution until she was called to the 'phone and heard a deep, solemn voice say: "You were seen breaking the date rule at ten o'clock last night." She thought the Chancellor was calling her up to reprimand her. But after the party at the end of the line confirmed of surprise and conition, he had a heart, and told that he was Mr. So-and-So, and wanted a date for the Varsity. She says she will never break the date rule again. The experience was too much of a shock. The big Cornhusher rally will be put on tonight at 9:30 starting from Fourthreet and Tennessee street. This is the announcement of the Student Council and Cheerleader Friday that have been promoting the big rally. "To make the rally the biggest and noisest of the year and to make it a rousing success," says Cheerleader Rusty Friend, "it will be necessary to have all the students out. If they don't come, we will get them." BRING TIN CANS "Everybody is advised to bring all the tins cans, pans, sticks, and all the other conceivable instruments for making modern noise that can be found in back yards. Don't be afraid of getting hit. Even if the cold air is a little rash." The rallyers will meet at the corner of Fourteenth and Tennessee. From there they will march through the student district, picking up all students still found in their rooms. No excuses will be accepted, even if students are in bed. In such cases there will be a committee dedicated to the peaceful slumbersers and give them a limited time in which to dress and get ready for the rally. Those who refuse must take the consequences." STUDENTS MUST GO "After getting all of the delinquent students," said Rusty Friend, "we will go down on Massachusetts street where arrangements have been made with barricades to keep five or four bifesirs, so don't worry about getting your feet cold tonight." For the game Saturday arrangements have been made with W. O. Hamilton to accommodate a thousand rooters in the Rooters' Section. It is the hope of Manager Hamilton and the staff at Rooters to be packed, for a victory by the Kansas team will depend largely on the number of rooters and the enthusiasm which they show. All houses containing potential rallyers will be visited, and locked doors may not be sufficient to withhold the determined students. To facilitate matters it is advised by many of the older heads that to be "Johnny on the spot" at 9:30 o'clock will save confusion and headaches. FRESHMIN MUST WEAR CAPS It was announced today, that all freshmen will be expected to wear their freshman caps at the game Saturday or take the punishment that will be given. After the victory Saturday, (and that is what the plans specify), a big parade will start from McCook Field, headed by the band, and march down for training to K. U. supreme in the Valley. A. Correction The Daily Kansan was in error last night, in stating that the doors of the gymnasium would close promptly at 8:30 o'clock. The doors will close at 8:20 o'clock and will remain until after the first group of songs has been finished. One Frosh is Happy A frog is in the water. John Schoenhorn, freshman, is happy. He takes military drill, and one day last week the man who marches in the position directly below him stepped on his heels every chance he got. John resorted to strategy and yesterday appeared for drill with heelless shoes. He says he "has one on that fellow" now. There- fore he is happy. Funeral of Mr. Eastman Funeral services for the Rev. Walter M. Eastman, A.B.T12, who was found dead near Wichita Tuesday night, will be held at 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon from the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Eastman, 1220 Ohio Street. Burial will be in Oak Hill Cemetery. The Weather Warmer tonight and Friday in extreme east portion. Send the Daily Kansan home.
