UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 22, 1917.
Health Officials Report
Typhoid Cases Improved
The condition of the three students, one young woman and two men, who are confined to the student hospital with typhoid 'ever, was much improved this morning. No new cases have been reported to the doctor but several students have complained of being HI.
All students who have not returned to the hospital for their last inoculations are urged to do so and those who have not been inoculated should be at once so that there will be no danger of a siege of typhoid fever here this year, according to health authorities.
Abolition of Formals During Period of War Advocates Chancellor
Dr. Strong Believes Student Should Help Government In Conservation
The University of Kansas should fall in line with Nebraska and other mid-western colleges and do away with all formal parties during the war, is the opinion of Chancellor Frank Strong.
"I would advise that all formals and other expensive parties be eliminated for the period of the war," said the Chancellor. "It is about time that we were doing something toward helping the President and Mr. Hoover in the conservation of the environment. We have taken this important step and the University of Kansas should take the lead in our state."
CUT PRICE OF ADMISSION
"If the formals are not entirely abolished, the least thing we can do will be to greatly reduce the expense of them, so that the price of admission will not be seven or eight dollars before, but a much smaller amount."
The Chancellor remarked that the students were not responding readily to the Soldier's Book Fund, which he referred to on servers on the Hill at Spooner Library.
THE DUTY OF EACH STUDENT
"It is the duty of each student to do his bit in winning the war," said the Chancellor. If he is not called upon for actual fighting in the trenches, he should help support our men on the firing line. If students would practice a little self-sacrifice and patronize the movies and the theatres less, they could contribute their bit to the country. Self-denial of the little things count for a great deal."
Soph Plan Would Make All Students On Hill Liberty Bond Holders
Memorial Committee Will Conduct a Tag Day To Sell
Bonds
Snow Zoology Club will meet Tuesday night, October 23, at 7:30 o'clock at the home of Prof. W. J. Baughartner, 1209 Ohio street. Miss Nadine Nowlin, assistant professor of zoology, will give a discussion of some of her recent research work. All members are urged to be present, as this is the first real meeting of the year.
Every student of the University will soon have a chance to help in the purchase of Liberty's merchandise class memorial committee come to fruition.
The plans of the memorial committee, composed of Webb Wilson, chairman Ernest Clark, Hurlert Kugler, Margaret Hargreave, Ernst Krugler, Margaret Riggle for a tag day of all the University. Sophomore students will be given the opportunity to contribute toward a bond and members of other classes will be invited to participate in second library Bond. No definite amount will be asked of the students.
"It's not everyone on this Hill who can purchase a Liberty Bond," said Webb Wilson, chairman of the memorial committee this morning. "The sophomore class is hoping that everyone will take advantage of the opportunity we are offering by contributing their little bit."
Appropriate advertising will appear this week telling of the advantages of the Liberty Bonds. The tag day will come one day this week.
The Liberty Bonds will be placed in the care of Registrar G. O. Foster and held till a suitable time comes for their sale. When the money is needed the class will sell its bonds. This is planned to eliminate all possible chances for graft as in former years.
Alliance With England Will Be War's Result Says Doctor Jenkins
Union Now In All But Name—Exists As Gentleman's Agreement
Boosts Liberty Loan Bonds
Students and Lawrence People Urged to Make Sacrifice for
Cause
the greatest success in the world war would be an alliance between England and the United States, is the opinion of Dr. Burris Jenkins, of Linwood Boulevard Christian Church of Kansas City, who lectured Saturday night at Robinson Gymnasium. "This alliance," he said, "qualifies although it is no more than a gentleman's agreement, it is as good as a signed treaty between two such nations."
Doctor Jenkins recently returned from the three battle fronts in the Western war zone. He was able to as a Y. M. C. A. secretary to go many miles off the beaten path, allowed to approach as a correspondent for the Kansas City Star. He said that many stories brought back from France and Europe were not true but were merely part of a German attempt to make the Americans believe that the war would soon end, slow up war preparations in America.
He told a story of how one German officer on being told after capture that his country was at war with America would not believe it, until finally taken to General Pershing. Doctor Jenkins said Germany was under attack and ascribed to every loan the government had attempted to raise.
PEACE MOVES EXPECTED
Before the war is over, he predicted that there would be much American blood shed on French soil. This winter he believes there will be many German peace overtures—even as many as four. That newspaper reports dated from northern Norway, how to be taken from its forces to be taken as reports to pave the way for later false German peace offers.
"Americans both in the foreign air service and ambulance service are recognized among the allied nations as the dare-devil of the war. Lord Northillife has said at least four times with the English army. While in the trenches I met one man who said he was an American and that in the rest of the battalion was made up of Americans. He was an American nurse, true to his training to exaggerate; for there were only five or six men from this country in the bunch."
BOOST BOND SALES
Doctor Jenkins also spoke of the Second Liberty loan. "A Liberty Loan bond is better than ordinary money, for it will draw 4 per cent interest for the owner. This was the explanation I gave to the 4,600 officers at Fort Leavenworth when I went to their country. The second Liberty Loan. I could not ask these officers, who had held their lives on their country's altar, to buy Liberty Loan bonds as a sacrifice because they had already done their share. Instead I told them these bonds were worth more than ordinary money, and that while they were in France fighting, these bonds would be back into country making money for them through the interest they would draw."
Dr. S. A. Lough, president of Baker University, will be the speaker at next Sunday's League meeting. Doctor Lough has demonstrated his ability to make good before college people.
Doctor Jenkins has beeped University students, professors and Lawrence citizens would continue to buy loans. Loan bills as they have been doing.
"The K. U., Ananias Club" was the subject of Dr. Gordon B. Thompson's address before the K. U. Methodist League meeting Sunday afternoon. He defined the distinct types of membership the membership of the local charter.
Doctor Thompson Spoke Before League Meeting

A League Hike is scheduled for next Friday night.
Faculty Members Who Volunteer for Service Will Compose Tactical Staff
Senate Adopts Plans For Military Drill to Train 700 K.U. Students
Night Classes Will be Formed To Accommodate Working Students
Offer Exercise on Saturday
Under the plan of military training arranged by the special University Senate committee the University of Kansas will soon have a full infantry regiment on the Hill. Approximately 700 men will be in the regiment made up of three battalions of three companies each, making nine companies in the whole regiment. Two eight men in each company and there will be 150 men selected as non-commissioned officers in the entire regiment.
The plan is to use faculty members who volunteer for service as commissioned officers as far as the regimental and battalion officers are concerned at least. These men must work will be divided into two parts, three days a week being given to drill and practical work and two days to theoretical work. The War Department's recommended system of military training—the Sweeper System of drill—will be used.
MAKE PLANS FOR 700 STUDENTS

Of the battalion and regimental officers which are to be filled by members of the K. U. faculty, there is a colonel, a captain, three battalion majors, and three battalion adjutants. The plan is to be completed for more than 700 students or fewer.
W. O. Hamilton, chairman of the special senate committee, explained today that every student would be dealt with fairly when the assignment of physical exercise is made. In order to do this, as exercise fifty minutes will be required three days a week. Students who prefer to take part of this work on Saturday may arrange in most cases to take the work on Tuesdays. On Wednesday, Saturday, and the others will have Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
If the student decides to come out for cross country running, basketball, or football, the time he must take will be determined by the coach in charge of the team and in day generally but six days each week, according to Coach Hamilton. The system of checking up the students has not been

Rabbi Wise Will Talk On New Social Reform Before K. U.Audience
Famous New York Reformer to Lecture Here Thursday Afternoon
Afternoon
Stephen S. Wise, Rabbi of the Free Synagogue, New York will lecture here Thursday afternoon. November will be on the nature of social reform.
During his years in Oregon as Rabbi of the Congregation Beth Israel in Portland, he was the moving force for much of the social legislation of the state. He helped to draft the first child-labor laws he had laid out and organized the standards; and he insisted in the formation of the Prisoners' Aid Society and in writing important additions to the penal law of the state.
Since that time he has been in New York and has not ceased his efforts for reform. The establishment of the Free Synagogue has been the outcome of his desire for liberation service. His motto there was: "Every member of the synagogue will be ensembled and persuaded to perform some kind of social service." He is a fiery and impassioned orator who not only teaches and preaches but lives his theories of life, government and religion.
New books have arrived at the library. Among them are volumes on music by Bach, Beethoven, Dvorsak and other composers of note, compris-ing in all about 100 books on music. Another interesting set, recently recurrently devoted to twelve volumes by Ribandrahn Tagoire, the Hindu philosopher.

Plain Tales From The Hill
Did you ever eat sugar in juicy steak and cinnamon instead of pepper on eggs. The seniors did—Saturday morning on that canoe trip to Cameron's, Mary told me about the foray or packing of the condiments. Maybe she was merely excited—she had had a telegram from an army camp, it seems—and maybe it was merely dark in the city. Oh, Chi! but had just little packages which they fixed up weren't just exactly what was desired for the occasion.
The job of assistant librarian sounds fine enough, but if you are new at it, complications may arise. When Ruth Brown, e20, rushed up to the long desk in Spooner library and asked for De Maupassant's "A Piece of String" the assistant there looked about diligently for some time until he finally found a piece of string. His face beamed when he held it out to Miss Brown, and asked, "Will this do?"
"Oh, you look just like Mephistopheles," said one enthusiastic maiden, just returned from opera, to Harley Holden. "He was awfully artistic, too." You'll have to look at H. E. H. to know the reason why.
Ennis Whitehead, A. E. B'17, spent Saturday and Sunday in Lawrence. He has taken his mind to examinations in his institute. He has three ill, and he had a three-day furlough.
Bob Reed, A, B'17, spent Sunday in Lawrence. Mr. Reed is now on the exchange desk of the Kansas City Star. Until recently he was editor of the Eureka Republican. He was editor of the Daily Kansen last year.
Most everything there is to say about autumn has been said, but a porter in one of the Hill barber shops another thing. “It’s the time o’year,” he said, “when the screens want to come off the lochs!”
Otto Hopfer is not as credulous a freshman now as he was a week ago. At least he knows the official standing of the Pi Phi house. Otto had an ambition to try out for the glee club. And some superior upperclassman told him that the try-out would be held at the brown stone mansion at the corner of Mississippi and Thirteenth streets. Otto went. What happened to Otto is not known.
Kathleen M. M. Macoubrie, c'16 of Olathe, Kans., visited at the Alpha Xi Delta house Friday. She is teaching at Beaver, Okla., and was returning there after having been home by the illness of her mother.
Either wear you caps and freeze to death or don't wear "em" and get crippled and roasted besides, is the worst. It could be John's quote he would rather freeze.
The women of the 2:30 swimming class were drying their hair in frantic haste, when in rushed a fair maid callling wildly "Oh! girls girls! It's! lost it! lost! Did any of you see it?" "What's lost!" inquired one girl with her mouth full of hairpins. "On! dear! Oh dear! then you haven't sen it." She sobbed and then added in a hushed tone, "It's my Pi Alpha Delta pin." She disheared if in them golden hair. After dropping three times she finally succeeded in pinning it securely to her blouse. When she had gone the woman in the yellow sweater said very, very sweetly, "I do hope that everyone will see that pin so that we can have some peace."
