Many K. U. Students Win Gold Hat Cord At Fort Riley Camp
Twenty-five Received Commissions—Have Been Assigned To New Army
Men from K. U., were unusually successful in obtaining commissions at the first officers' training camp at Ft. Riley, which ended August 15. The men received commissions ranging from a capitation to a second lieutenancy.
Turning aside from their school work, many men ready to become seniors, answered the call of their country in its appeal for men to train for officers in the national army of drafted men. But they were well repaid for their three months gruelling drill and study of military tactics under the critical eyes of veteran army officers. Instead of the usual six months time they were taught skillfully how to fundamentals of military tactics into the head of the average rookie these men became officers which were approved by the severe army critics in a period of three months.
While in camp they received $100 a month and were supplied with food and clothes. But every man who returned home after the first two months of work admitted he earned the salary. The camp opened June 15 as a dozen other camps located in all parts of the United States.
Some of the men are already in active service while others are waiting for the national army to arrive at the training posts before being called out to drill the new men. Several men have been sent to France to study actual war conditions in the trenches or near the firing line. Wint Smith, a football lineman on the K. U. football team last fall, is now in厦门 attending an expected that these men will return after about two months in Europe to teach what they have learned to new troops here, or they will fill the places left vacant by casualties among the country's forces abroad.

Women Are Ready To Do Their Bit During War
The Women's Athletic Association is ready to do its bit during the war. Work and play have been planned for the women of the University of Kansas to make them physically fit to meet any demand the country may make.
The primary purpose of the association, to promote physical efficiency and democracy, has not been changed. Tournaments for tennis, hockey, basketball, baseball, swimming and archey arouse a keen friendly competition among the players at afternoon parties and one formal dance balance the athletics and social activities.
Tennis practice will begin immediately and hockey practice starts soon. The pool will be open for swimming next week. Miss Hazel Pratt, director of sports, is making an effort to have the pool opened two hours every day, instead of two days a week.
Every woman in the University is entitled to use the gymnasium apparatus and the pool and can take part in games, but she must belong to the Athletic Association before she may join the Membership to the organization is not open until November. Last year the membership reached 300.
Stanley Jones in Marine Corps
Stanley S. Jones, former student of the University, recently received an appointment to the Quartermaster School of the United States Marine Corps. He is now stationed at Paris Island, S. C.
Jones enlisted at Kansas City early in January and was sent to the Marine Recruiting depot at Paris Island for a course in military training. He was assigned himself and was filling the position of acting corporal at the time his company was transferred to Santo Domingo for expeditionary duty. He states that the Marine Corps offers training that is unequalled by any other academy in the United States and is highly pleased with the service.

Students on Oread To "Shoulder Arms" If Plans Work Out
Chancellor Has Asked Government To Co-operate In Military Training at K. U.
Whether the University of Kansas has compulsory military drill this semester will soon be decided by the War Department at Washington. Chancellor Frank Strong has wired the department that he is in favor of for his military training here, mainly for students in freshman and sophomore years.
E. M. Briggs, assistant professor of German, will supervise much of the work if the officials at Washington military courses in the University.
It seems doubtful whether the government will be able to supply K. U, with a man to teach military tactics, and Mr. Templin, who on reserve duty is being called into active service, according to Dean Olin Templin. Many men from the reserve list are being used in training camps of the national army, but the universitys have been able to train an army man to teach military work.
In the meantime, freshmen and sophomores will have regular gymnasium work until the plans of the department of physical education are changed by the War Department. Most of them will directly help the student prepare for service in military forces, will be offered this semester and there is a possibility of several others being added. A course in signal corps work in the form of electrical telegraphy will be open to all students at the University as well as a course in the theoretical side of aviation work.
If Professor Briggs is chosen to have charge of the work, K. U. will have a capable man at the head of the department. He has seen several years of active service in the national guard as member of Company M, the University unit. This summer he has been at Harvard Univer
