U. S. Seeks Services
Of K. U. Entomologist
A letter asking him to take up government work in the bureau for the investigation of forge and cereal pests was received last week by Prof. W. Walton, an assistant in the department of entomology, from W. A. Walton, head of the bureau. The letter says the Civil Service roster in that division is entirely exhausted, indicating that all applications have a position awaiting them.
"This would be an excellent opportunity to obtain a permanent federal job, with a good chance for advancement," said Professor Lawson, "but, of course, I am unable to leave my work at the University. A man en力急 who has much of a family life, as in teenage but the fact that he would get to see a great deal of country might be an attraction for him."

New Roll Call System In Women's Gym Class
Decorations will be cornstalks and leaves.
The instructors in the women's gymnasium classes have adopted a new system for roll call. Each woman when enrolling deposits twenty-five cents for a large white button with a number on it. At the end of each deposit, the student returns the token when the button is returned the twenty-five cents is refunded.
The button is worn on the front of the gym suit. At the beginning of class, the class is lined up according to a grid on the floor and down the line checking the numbers. The roll is taken down on a chart, and a complete record is kept of each student. This system has been used in Harvard University for a number of years. In K. U., it has proved successful. The men will adopt this system soon.
Commencing next week, all meetings of the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., social gatherings, and teas will have to be held at night because of the new military drill rulling, according to the Dean Olin Templin, and to the officers of the respective organizations.

Plain Tales From The Hill
All of us are going to have to pay three cents instead of two to send a letter after November 2. Consequently we are writing all our letters now. But one freshman discovered a bet that could make us even more fortunate. She went to the post-office and bought several dollars' worth of two-cent stamps!
The Betas can't decide whether all troubles are merely accidental or whether Fate is paying off old scores. They haven't a chunk of coal and they've used up all the dead trees on their estate. The weather continues with an increase in gas pressure and consequently hot for dinner. And the water was turned off and they had to eat their cold food without a drop of moisture.
Another reason why we should have simplified spelling — little Frank Strong accompanied a playmate to show, "20,000 Legs Under the Sea."
There was a man went to Spooner library to study. When nine o'clock came he exchanged the customary signals with a fair maiden and then took her home. He returned in a short time, exchanged signals with another fair one and took her home. And then he returned and, after exchanging more signals, took the third one home. Was he patriotic, overworked, flirtatious, or merely paying an election bet?
Carol Martin is the patriotic junior. She is borrowing money at six per cent to buy a Liberty Bond.
A certain fraternity pledged some people, said farewell to them, and went in to play a record on the victoria. I wore "We Ain't Got Nobody Much!"
Lieut. John Dykes, a former member of the K. U. debating teams, is now making speeches at Camp Funston. He talked Liberty Bonds to his company and every man in it bought a bond—$10,000 in bonds for one company. The company was given a holiday.
Never again! Will we cut across Mr. Watkins' place when we are comin' up to class late. We will go around by the new street. Gates will meet us at each end of the drive—through which we may not pass.

Senior Annual Prints Must Be In Hands of Editor Friday, Dec. 21
Jayhawker Management Announces Final Date For Acceptance of Pictures
Plan Insures Better Work
Organization Prints Wanted Too
—Editors Seek Photos of
Men In Service
PRINTS ARE DUE NOW
This announcement, made this morning, officially starts the management's campaign for senior photos.
Friday, December 21 is the final date for senior pictures to be in the hands of the editor of the Jayhawk.
"Senior pictures are due now," said Harry Morgan, the editor. "Quite a few students already have had their photographs taken and others are arranging for sittings. The photographer is ready to handle crowd and not make his fault if seniors fail to get their prints in before the final date set."
"Davis and I must have a lot of student co-operation on this book and the more willing the student body is to accede to our requests and observe how we can better enjoy better Jayhawk will we be able to publish. During Christmas vacation we will prepare the senior section for the engraver so it is very essential that everyone have his print in our room, on the Friday before vacation begins.
NO INCREASE IN DUES
"In spite of the increased cost of publishing the annual due to the rapidly rising rates on engraving and printing material senior dues will be the same this year as before-$7, which includes space in the senior section and one volume of the Jayhawker.
"A dark background has been decided upon as the most suitable for your business year and I hope everyone will bear the mind when having their prints made.
"THE INSTYLORIZATION PICTURES
'THE JAYHAWKER will open an en-
face of glass prints, and the gloss
prints may be turned in and dues
paid. As many organization
pictures as possible are wanted
before Christmas too. There is no rea-
ason why many of these cannot be
used before that date and turned in to us.
If the students will only bear in mind that every picture of any sort in my hands before the holidays will mean a much better job of engraving, I believe that should be incentive enough to hurry them up.
"After Christmas the Jayhawker force will be swamped with an endless number of other details of the show," said senior son pictures an impersonal one."
MILITARY PICTURES ARE WANTED Pictures of all former University students who are engaged now in military service are wanted. The military section is to be a big feature of the Jayhawk and the editors are anxious to get as many familiar faces as possible.
K. U. men in the service are scattered all over the United States and some are in France, making it impossible for the staff to get pictures them except through their friends. Davis or Morgan, or mailed to 1220 Louisiana Street, will be appreciated by the annual management.
