Call of War Depletes Ranks of Students in Nation's Big Schools
Enrollment In Every College and University Falls Short Of Last Year
War has made large inroads in the universities and colleges of America. All show a decrease of enrollment where the records would show an increase under normal conditions. Eastern schools have been particularly hard hit, especially in the upper classes.
**Figures for the University of Kansas show the following loss it enrollment due to the war: freshmen 14 per cent; sophomores 19 per cent; juniors 30 per cent; seniors 41 per cent; or a decrease for the more than 800 students. This is a comparatively good showing. Harvard has lost 40 per cent, Brown 30, and Ames 30. More than 1,300 students have dropped out of Yale, 1,000 from Wisconsin, and 600 from Princeton. Cornell has contributed to the state's selections, Nebraska 700, and Dartmouth 600.
In the curricula, as well, the changes are revolutionary. Courses in military science and drill are offered now in most universities. Yale has three army officers teaching military subjects, and credit to about one-fifth of the requirement for a degree is allowed. The French army has supplied Yale with a battery of 75-millimeter guns, and most of the students are studying artillery. K U. is doing its bit in our entailment other universities. The three courses in drill for all students are the chief changes in the curriculum. With an army officer stationed here, the influence of the war is felt more keenly than ever before.
Do Your Bit Tonight
By the Way一
Reception For Freshmen
Tonight is the time for every woman of the University to demonstrate that she can and will do her bit. At ten houses in the student district of the University, there is an instruction for making garments for the Red Cross. From seven until eight o'clock the women of the different districts will meet, get acquainted and sew. The only requirements for an enjoyable hour are a dress and a tie. To make the latest undertaking of the W. S. G. A. a huge success.
At the reception for the women of the freshman class in the Woman's Corner of Fraser Hall tomorrow from three until five o'clock, Mrs. Eustace Brown, advisor of women, Mrs. Frank Strong, Miss Helen Jones, freshman adviser, Katherine Reding, president W. S. G. Asa and a sophomore representative will receive the guests. All women of the freshman class are invited and the informality of the hours will require only school clothes.
Red Cross Tea
A Red Cross tea will be given Saturday afternoon at Westminster Hall for all Presbyterian women. Twelve Lawrence women, competent in knitting, have agreed to be present to help the women who want to learn to sew. The women will pose of helping women get started in Red Cross work.

You who are eating at boarding houses and other places—paying $5 a week or more for board—listen to this:
$4.72 a week for board
You can get a good breakfast at LEES for 15c—
Then an excellent dinner (evening and noon) with a choice of usually four different kinds of meat, for 30c a meal. 25c will buy a popping good meal—but, let's call 30c a meal the average.
Church Party
All right—that's two times 30c or 60c, plus 15c for breakfast, makes 75c a day. 7 days a week: 7 times 75c is $5.25.
Rota Club
But wait, here's where we show you that you pay less, eat more and have greater variety than you do elsewhere.
A MEAL TICKET AT LEE'S RECEIVES A 10 PER CENT DISCONT.
So instead of $5.25 a week—it's $5.25 less
53p or $472 a week for board!
So instead of $20.95,
53c or $4.72 a week for board!
There you are—$4.72 is less than you are
now paying for board—and for that we are
offering you more to eat, and greater variety
from which to select.
But we figured 30c each for the noon and evening meal. But if you take advantage of the 25c meal—that means a saving of 10c a day or 70c a week—making your board cost only $4.10 a week.
It means simply a step toward better eating, and paying less if you start to boarding at LEE'S today. Better do that—what you save will buy a few Christmas presents!
