Sigma Delta Chi Has Strict Membership Rules The journalism fraternity at the University is Sigma Delta Chi, a national organization with 33 chapters in journalism schools in the United States. The Kansas chapter was the second chapter granted in the making of the national organization in 1909. Only those students who show particular talent to journalistic lines are admitted to membership and then only after they have decided to go into newspaper work. The depletion of the ranks of the fraternity by the war has left only three members of the organization in school. They are: Harry Morgan, Eugene Dyer and Lawson May. The two former members respectively Sigma, Delta and Chi with just enough of the Greek letters to go around. A Daily Letter Home.—The Daily Kansan. To Cut Down On Sugar Is Desire Of W. S. G. A. Executive Council Adopted Resolution to Reduce Consumption of Sugar Resolved: That the members of the executive council of the Women's Student Government Association decrease their consumption of sugar by one-half and that they enderver to persuade them to change things to the association to do likewise. This resolution was adopted by the council at its meeting Tuesday night. It means that council members will try to drink coffee and tea without sugar; that they will refrain from sugary drinks and fruit juices; more fudge; that they will conduct a campaign to use molasses and syrups instead of sugar in whatever ways are possible; that they will give up soft drinks; and that they will try to use only half the customary amount of desserts, breakfast foods and fruits. The approximate consumption of sugar per person is four ounces a day. This means that the 700 women of the University consume 175 pounds of sugar a day, or 1225 a week. Reducing the consumption to two ounces a day would mean a saving of approximately 620 pounds a week. Company M Subscribes $11,700 In Liberty Bonds Soldiers Come Forward Quickly When Opportunity Is Given To Buy Bonds News was received in Lawrence this week by friends and relatives of Company M, which is now stationed at Fort Sill, Okla., telling of the purchase of $11,700 worth of Liberty bonds. The soldiers were conducted last Saturday According to a letter received by Elizabeth Plank from her brother Sergeant Ewarte of the company, each person in the company purchased a $50 bond. The bonds were sold to the soldiers on the installment basis each soldier being required to pay $50 for the bonds and the company purchased several bonds. "It was not difficult to sell the bonds to the soldiers," said Sergent Plank in his letter. "At first the men objected but, after one or two men and a couple, both sold the other men of the company gladly bought them." He said also that Company M stands near the top at Fort Sill in the purchase district. K. U.

Fraser Improvements are High Fraser Hall has been getting a new suit of fall clothes; a new tin roof painted crimson. The railing around the roof had to be removed for this work, but has been replaced now. The senior class at the University of Utah will buy a $100 Liberty Bond. Each member of the class will be as asked dollar to raise the price of the bond. Journalism should be compulsory for all students attending college, is the opinion of Benjamin S. Brown, manager of the Kansas City News Service, who addressed the industrial journalism students of the Kansas State Agricultural College. "Few graduates can write intelligently of the things that are important to the man with a degree able to impart his knowledge to the press, either in intelligent interviews or in well written stories."
