Actual Work to Start Soon To Get Passage Of State Income Bill
Absence of Many County Club Officers Makes a New Election Necessary
lasco Names Organizers
President of County Club Union Urges All Counties to Organize at Once
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, NO VEMBER 7, 1917.
This fall many of the officers and delegates of the county clubs over the state have entered some branch of the country's service in the world war. For this reason, it has been decided that the county in the County Club Union and elect new officers so that the organization may be perfected.
Actual work on the Permanent Income Bill, which comes up for vote in the state election, 1919, will start as soon as the county clubs belonging to the County Club Union at the University have been organized. Last year in spite of a lack of interest among many of the students of K. U., the county clubs went into a statewide process to do with securing the passage of the Income Bill at the session of the state legislature.
It has been on account of this fact that there has been no meeting of the Union this year, for there have been no delegates to form a quorum at any meeting this fall. Accordingly, Willard Glaso, present president of the Union has selected two men from the University to serve as sententiae at the University this year, and has asked that they call a meeting of the students in their county.
At each meeting, officers of these county clubs will be elected for the coming year. A president, vice-president, treasurer and gate to the County Club Union should be elected from each county. A new set of officers is being elected in this manner because so few of the old members are back in the University, city.
As soon as the officers have been elected, Glasco, president of the County Club Union, wants all county club presidents to leave the list of officers at the Kansan office so that he may get them and keep on file a list of every officer in the organization. As soon as delegates are named county presidents, the county clubs, a meeting will be held to elect officers of the County Club Union.
In case there has ben no student named to call together a meeting for the election of officers, Glasco urges that some member from his county and others from other counties be the organization of the County Club Union will soon be in working order.

Students' Go-To-Church Sunday Is November 1
Sunday, November 11, is "Go To Church Sunday" for the University. The whole month of November is "Go To Church Month" but this one Sunday is of particular interest to University students.
All of the churches of Lawrence will pay special attention to the Hill folk, and there will be much done to make the students feel at home. Both morning and evening services will be of the same spirit, so that there is very little excuse for anyone not being on hand.
However, if not able to get up in time for the morning services, and have a date for the evening, surely the student can find time in the after-ponon to go to Myers Hall to the University Vespers, where it is "Go To Church Sunday" for students all the time.

Freshmen Are Sentenced For Dishonesty In Class
Three students, members of the freshman class, found guilty of dishonest work in their University classes, were sentenced by the Senate disciplinary committee to complete one extra hour of work for graduate school. The two students imposed yesterday afternoon, following a hearing of a few days ago. Two of the students are taking Rhetoric I and one is taking Medieval History.
The penalty is made light, says Prof. D. L. Patterson, chairman of the committee, in view of the fact that the offenders are freshmen, and the warning is added that in future penalties will be made more severe.
Chemistry Professor Enlists As Private With U.S. Engineers
N. F. Strachan Leaves Today For Ft. Mead, Va., to Join Engineering Battalion
Prof. Norman F. Strachan of the department of sanitary engineering left today for Fort Mead, Md., where he will enlist as a private in a battlefield training unit and the Twenty-third Regiment of engineers in the New National Army.
The battalion probably will leave for France within two weeks where they will repair and construct highways directly behind the lines on the front lines and the supply bases makes it necessary to keep the roads used for this purpose in constant repair. New strategic roads' for the support of vast armies in new operations must be constructed by the highway engineers.
The battalion will be organized like a modern construction company. The officers will be experts and the noncommissioned officers will be m.m men and experienced in building men and machinery for construction companies.
The organization will be fully equipped so that the engineers will be able to work according to modern American highway construction. They have rock crushing plants, steam shovels, road rollers, tractors, graders, motor trucks, pumps, and a full line of dump wagons and scrapers.
The Twenty-third Regiment of Engineers is commanded by Col. E. M. Johnston, and will be the largest training unit in the army, about 10,500 men, all volunteers.

Goal of Finance Committee of Association Is $2000 From Students
To Finish Up Work Today
Every Promotion Force Man Soliciting Those Who Were Missed Yesterday
Twelve hundred dollars were raised among 600 men of the University in the University Y. M. C. A. Finance Campaign yesterday. The work was done by a promotion force of 150 men, with a representation is $2,000 from the students.
A clean-up campaign is being carried on today; every promotion force man is seeing all men missed in the campaign yesterday. Hugo Wedell, secretary of the association, states that more than 400 men were missed
LARGEST PLEDGE FROM E. C. BRICKEN
The largest pledge came from E.
C. Bricken, who donated the luncheon of
150 plates and gave $10 in addition.
Other pledges range to $25.
Other pledges ranged from this amount down to $1.
Every promotion force man is asked to finish up his lists today and report what he or she has 9 oiled. More than thirty men had not checked in at noon today.
Practically a new promotion force solicited the men students in the campaign. All of these men have recruited for the work since school began. Per capita the promotion force men averaged in contributions more than last year's men. Six hundred percent of the contribution to the support of the association by the 104 promotion force men at the banquet yesterday noon.
"The attitude on the men on the promotion force was fine," said Mr. Wedell this morning. "And the response on the part of the man of the University in general was exceptional. It was a significant thing that while we lost the entire promotion force last year we find 150 men assuming the responsibility in the short time given them this year."
RESPONSE WAS EXCEPTIONAL
the faculty campaign for $800 will be next Tuesday, starting at a luncheon at 6 o'clock. A force of students will solicit the faculty members.

Plain Tales From The Hill
Freshmen Reward!
A Klu Klux Klan has been organized by the Geologists of the University to enforce the wearing of the freshman cap. Any offender may expect to be aroused from his peaceful sleep about 12 o'clock and punished for not adhoding to the cap tradition. The manner of punishment has not been decided upon yet but the ones looked upon with favor are either a nice cool bath in the Kaw or a midnight hike of about fifteen miles followed by a good sound spanking for the little dears. Several more names have been reported in the news and unless these freshmen appear on the Hill tomorrow morning in their distinctive Headgear—well expect the worst for this night.
It's true that a certain fraternity near the School of Fine Arts has a fine of $3 for any member not pre-registered. The fraternity calls at a sorority house.
If when passing 1244 Ohio you think someone is starting a riot or rally or something else noisy, don't be alarmed and try to interfere. It's the five members of the Woman's Glee Club in that house who are practicing.
A cub reporter on the Kansan called a certain fraternity house and asked if they had a service flag, at which the freshman replied, "We have a flag but I don't think it has ever been in real service yet."
The Sig Alphas have installed a powerful search light on the $90^2$ of their new country home, $u_{w}$ now spend their evenings flashing $W$ into this $Bi$ and Sigma Kappa House windows. They go the golf links, and Mc-Cook Field.
One University sophomore has solved the h.c. l. He eats milk chocolate for his board and sells the tin foil to pay the rest of his expenses.
One woman in the University sends the Kansans each week to a former Jayhawker who at camp Kyle Aviation Field, San Antonio, Texas. Last week he lent these to a friend in the other team and sent them to U. U. camcaro, saw the sheet and "nearly had a fit," to quote the original story.
Did you ever start to pay for something and find that you didn't have enough money? This happened to one of our gallant K. U. men as he was coming back from Aggieville. The only seat left when he got on the bus was Mr. K., who he had been rushing frantiestly this season. Of course he took her out to dinner. When the check came he discovered that he lacked fifty cents of having enough to pay for the dinners. Imagine his feelings! He excused himself hurriedly and made a frantic search through the train for financial assistance. Then he took to his fair companion in high spirits. That's not all. He was a true sport if one ever lived. He even took her home in a taxi (and had it charged).
Mrs. Hunter Teaches—
Husband Is In Army
Prof. and Mrs. W. S. Hunter of the department of psychology have established a precedent which may develop into a "husband and wife" professorship. Professor Hunter was called to the colors September 23 and Mrs. Hunter was appointed to fill his place. Mrs. Hunter was an instructor in psychology in the University of Texas last year. She has charge of most of the elementary classes while Professor F. C. Dockeray is in charge of the laboratory courses and advanced classes as well as a class in business. This course trains men to become mental examiners in army camps. There will be a great demand for such specialists next spring.
Professor Hunter is a first lieutenant in the base hospital in Camp Lee Peters, Va., where he is giving mental examinations to the recruits. Mrs. Hunter has accepted the appointment for the semester but will probably go on with the work the entire year at least.

Second: Signs will be posted forbidding parking elsewhere on the canopy.
Third: After a month's time,
during which the public will be
informed of the state laws governing
automobiles and the protection of

Boys at Camp Doniphan
Call For Serious Books
That the boys at Camp Doniphan appreciate serious books is shown by a letter received by Dean F. W. Blackmar from the librarian there thanking him for a box of books. Dean Blackmar sent a box of carefully chosen books of history, economics, fiction, travels, and sociology.
The letter from L. C. Dickerson, the camp librarian, reads as follows：“Your box contained exactly the type of books we needed. In fact, of many shipments received, this was the only one in which fiction did not predominate. Fiction is important, of course, but just at present we need more than anything else good books on electricity and engineering, current books on serious subjects and poetry of the Service and Kipling type.”
