University Orchestra Needs More Members
The University orchestra is being needlessly neglected by the students this year, according to an instructor in the School of Fine Arts. All those students who can play reasonably well are urged to insist their personal support in this orientation; but they should be safe in the house and be distinct benefit to its members and to the University.
Rehearsals under the direction of Prof. Frank E. Kendrie are held every Thursday night at 7:30 o'clock in Fraser Hall. Students who play the violin, 'eello and bass are urged to attend these rehearsals. A call will be issued later for the wind wood and brass sections.

Seniors Must Have Jayhawker Pictures Taken by December 21
Editors Plan Book In Spite of War Uncertainty—December 12 Last Day
Postcards urging seniors to have their pictures taken for the Jayhawker and announcing Friday, December 21, as the final date for the prints to be turned in, were sent out late last month by the 1915 Jayhawk management.
The cards direct that the pictures be taken on a black background as that plan is to be carried throughout the section this year. The photo we are told to handle the work of taking all senior pictures be fore the final date.
"In the rush of mailing several hundred cards to seniors it is quite possible we missed several," said Don Davis, manager of the annual, this morning, "but every senior is expected to have his picture taken and the cards turned in to the Joy hawker office by the Friday before Christmas."
An office, probably in Green Hall, will be opened soon and a schedule of hours announced. Honor list blanks, to be turned in with the senior prints, are being printed and will be ready for distribution soon.
In spite of the uncertainty of attendance of men at the University by the end of the year the annual editors are going ahead with their plans as best they can. It is possible that many senior men will be compelled to leave the University before next spring but the Jayhawks' pictures in the senior section and a copy of the annual and are urging all to have their pictures taken and turned in with the others.

NUMBER 36.
Military Organization Means Greater Unity At K. U.—Chancellor
Men and Women Should Endure Inconvenience Willingly to Aid Work
Few Exemptions Necessary
Active military drill work for the men of the University began yesterday. Chancellor Strong made short addresses at each hour of drill while the companies formed in front of gymnasium and stood at attention.
"This military drill is a part of the attempt to organize thoroughly, the University and country for war service," said Chancellor Strong. "It is an attempt also to make our boys who are in the field and who will have to bear the first shock of the fighting realize that we are doing wrong. University men and women ought to be willing to endure inconveniences and make sacrifices to help in any way possible in this work.
**ORGANIZATION MEANS UNITY**
This movement for organization will empower women to wear upon any need that arises the full force of the University. I expect to see a thousand University women knitting and doing war work when the war pressure gets to be heavy. W. O. Hamilton has said the athletic material for clothing work. There is no end to the possibilities in this work."
Students Having Heavy Work Should Drop Some For Drill—Briggs
It was the general consensus of opinion among the faculty men and students gathered to see the opening drill work yesterday afternoon that good results would be achieved. The men in the drill classes were earnest and sincere if they did not know all the fine points of military bearing.
"We consider that students who have so much work that they cannot drill should drop some of their work," said Col. E. M. Briggs. "Students who have outside work will be considered individually. There is a gratifyingly small number of men physically unfit for drill."
EXEMPTION COMMITTEE APPOINTED

Work on West Section Of New Ad. Building To Begin in Ten Days
Contract Let to Omaha Firm Calls For Completion By June, 1919
Lowest Bid Was $195,125
Will House Administrative Offices and School Of Fine Arts
Work on, the middle section and part of the west wing of the Administration Building, the contract of which was let Friday, will begin within the next few days. The contract calls for a new building in June 1919. The two new divisions of the building will be occupied for the first time with the opening of the fall term of school in September, 1919. Olson and Johnson of Omaha were awarded the contract. This firm presented a bid of $198,125, which was lower than any of the others and the bid formerly submitted by this firm.
The section of the building which is to be completed this year will be used for the School of Fine Arts, temporarily, and it is thought the Thayer Art Collection will be housed in it. Arrangements to transfer other departments have not been made. The offices of the Dean of the College and possibly the Chancellor will be moved to the Administration Building.
The wing of the Administration Building now complete is being used for history, political science, mathematics, philosophy and sociology. The three floor is given over to the department of drawing and painting.
"We are in need of room and will be glad when the addition to the Administration Building is finished," said Chancellor Frank Strong today. "Although the building cannot be entirely finished, the addition of the middle section and part of the west wing will be greatly appreciated."
Y. M. C. A. Promotion Force Begins and Ends Finance Campaign Today
Every Man In University Visited By Association Representatives
The 1050 men of the University are being solicited today to raise the $2000 necessary to keep the University Y. M. C. A, alive another year. "If some member of the promotion will be around sometime tonight," said Hugo Wedell, secretary of the association late this afternoon.
A luncheon in Myers Hall given by E. C. Bricken, proprietor of the Oread Cafe, started the finance campaign this noon. There were places set for 150 men. At this luncheon pledges were made by every promotion force man and final plans outlined by Wedell and assistants.
Prof. Raymond C. Moore of the department of geology, went to Fort Riley today to do geological work for the United States Air Force which is to be built at the cantonment.
No definite figures are obtainable yet of the success of the campaign. Every member of the finance committee is supposed to check up to his captain tonight after he has seen all men possible.
"I like the spirit of the men in these war times" continued Wedell. "With so many of them working their way through school I realize it is hard to give to the support of the association."
"It's either do or die with us," said Wedell. "The men of the University are determining today whether their association shall live or die.
Heyward Wheeler, Phi Pi freshman, denies the charge that he was seen without his freshman cap. He has said the defense should all that freshmen should wear them.
The University Women's Association will entertain the new members with a thimble party Thursday afternoon. The event will be held at A. T. Walker, 1645 Louisiana street.
"Coach Olcott would like in this way to thank many people in Lawrence and the University to whom he has not been able to say good-bye for their friendship and good wishes."
Many contributions mostly for five dollars were reported yesterday to the committee.
Mrs. Herman Olcott.
Homer Talbot Represents Kansas at Nat'l Meeting
At the meeting of the National Municipal League in Detroit November 19 to 23, Homer Talbot, secretary of the League of Kansas Municipalities, will present the report for the committee of Secretaries of all the state municipal leagues. The secretaries of these leagues will hold a luncheon conference to discuss the various problems relating to state municipal organizations.
The war service of these leagues will be a leading question for consideration. Among these problems are food and fuel problems of the poor, organization of home guards, and the question of individual membership in such organizations that is interested in the work of city government. Representatives from a number of the states will be present at this meeting.
Plain Tales From The Hill
Speaking of food conservation, the other day the outpost from the Sig Almanor house saw a duck, three of them, in fact, sailing over the blue of Potter's Lake. He reported his discovery to the lord of the manor, who and four men to proceed to saak lake and capture, in some manner, the fowl.
Down the men came, and, slipping carefully so as not to frighten their feathered friends, skirted the lake. Finally the most daring enjoy aimed at one bird—and hit it. Then, together with his conferres, embarked on a raft floating on the blue surface of the water and reached the dead duck. A young squire with a freshman cap carried the fowl home.
The newest and best way of saving and conserving without letting the conservation hit one's own self has been discovered by an enterprising Kappa Sig. At the Kappa Sig house the amount of sugar that may be used by the brother is strictly limited. But in physiology lab there are whole bottles filled with sugar furnished to every student. Real sugar, too. So at the end of each lab period the Kappa Sig's little bottles are always empty. Clear empty. And the Kappa Sig's little mouth and fingers are always sticky.
P. S. We surmise that the Sigma Apollo, fraternity had duck for dinner.
H. Clay Fiske, a University graduate, sends in his subscription for "the most interesting paper in the world." That's the Kansan. Mr. Fiske is superintendent of schools at Nowata, where he was a student in the department of journalism and won reputation as a football player.
The cross country hikes which the women of the University are taking are proving instructive. Last Friday as the women were returning from a hike they passed the weather gauge which the government has put up west Marseille, Marie Koehler a graduate student, said: "Oh that is a bee-hive?"
The chemistry students will no longer have to endure dust and cold. The old window sashes were taken out and they were tight tight sashes put in their back.
- A certain sorority house on this Hill has been noted for being particularly well adapted for taking care of "cases" by quarantining them in separate rooms. Last Sunday night, there were an unnusual large number of dates there and one girl coming home rather late looked in vain for an unoccupied cozy corner. Finally her troubled face brightened and she motioned gaily to the bashful young man who was with her, saying: There is no one occupying the telephone booth. Let's go in there.
No Swell Togs Allowed At Hop—Taxies Tabooed Chorus of Fifty Starts Rehearsals For Big Class
This is the latest economy move announced by the Hop management. Women will wear afternoon dresses and other clothing, taxes and flowers are taboo.
Party
Teachers Will Discuss School Problems and War at State Meet
The Sophomore Hop is to be as informal as a Varsity party.
Rehearsal for the farce was held last night in Robinson Gymnasium. A chorus of fifty was organized and the farce committee began the work of getting the big chorus ready for the performance vaudelle skirts are being prepared.
The farce will be held at midnight during the intermission in the dance and the entire dancing floor will be set up for the entertainment month November 23.
Must Keep Young People In School—W. H. Johnson Declares
8,000 Teachers Will Attend
Association May Meet For Last Time In Topeka—Amend Constitution
"No matter how long the war lasts or what difficulties may arise, the young people of Kansas must be kept in school and the schools maintained if the state of Kansas wishes to hold her place in education among the states," This statement was made to Mr. W. H. Johnson of the School of Education and to the president of the Kansas State Teachers' Meeting which holds its annual session in Topeka on Thursday and Friday of this week.
"This is an important year in educational work," continued Prof. Johnson, "and the importance of each teacher's part in carrying out the policies of the department of public instruction will be impressed upon the minds of the 8,000 teachers who are taught at the meeting." The state superintendent, W. D. Rossa, will have important things to say on educational work in Kansas during the war on Thursday morning at the opening session.
DR. DAVID SNEDDEN
Dr. David Snedden of Teachers College, Columbia University, will speak on Thursday night on the subject "Proposals for an After-the-War Program of Education." Dr. Snedden is a pioneer in many of the new movements in education and it is probable that he will introduce some new and unique ideas on the educational situation after the war.
The community singing of the thousands of teachers assembled in Topeka's City Auditorium, which has been a remarkable part of the program, will be a feature again this year. The music will be largely confined to national hymns and war songs. Prof. F. A. Beach of the Kansan State Normal will direct the music and be desires that the teachers will get such an inspiration from the singing that the pupils in the schools of Kansas will be encouraged to sing patriotic songs with greater enthusiasm.
The meeting of the Teachers' Association in Topeka this year may be the last meeting in Topeka as an amendment to the constitution will be adopted and the association will divide the association into four divisions with each division meeting at the same time of the year but in different parts of the state. There are 15,000 teachers in Kansas and the membership in the association is growing. This is becoming impossible to accommodate so large a number in any one city.
At present three-fourths of the teachers attending the session are from places within one hundred miles of Topeka and many more, who would like to come are too far away. The new system would increase the membership and the revenue from the membership fees would be larger, thus allowing more funds to bear the expense of research and investigations by special committees appointed for such work. Many cities of the state are seeking solutions to the meeting at Topeka to vote for the amendment and to seek the district meeting for their city. Douglas county will be represented and many students and faculty members will attend from the University.
"Grenoble" is to be the subject of "Mr. G. L. Cram's talk at French Circle Wednesday. The meeting is to be at at oclock, instead of at 4, at formerly.
