UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
OTHER KANSAS SCHOOLS TAKE COURSES AT K. U
Enroll by Mail for Courses Not Given in Smaller
Colleges
The correspondence-study department has closed a busy year and is now ready to start on its busiest season, according to Harold G. Ingham, secretary of the department. Enrollment is expected to increase greatly as soon as school closes for summer vacation. Students attending summer session enroll in correspondence courses in order to secure credit during vacation
"Most of the work is taken by students who are working for a degree," said Mr. Ingham. "Some students in the denominational colleges of the state take courses in our correspondence department because they are not offered in the colleges. There is a growing co-operation between these colleges and the University. We have a number of enrollees in our university, especially students in high schools as Baker University and William Jewell College. For instance students majoring in economics in one of those colleges often sign for our course in labor problems."
The total number of persons who have taken correspondence work in the past twelve months is 1220. This is an increase of sixty per cent over the enrollment two years ago. The most popular courses are English, education, journalism, Romance languages, mathematics, and Latin.
A great increase in the demand for Romance language courses has been made during the past three or four years. Mr. Ingham believes that this is the result of greater interest in South American trade.
TO FAMILIARIZE STATE WITH THE UNIVERSITY
John Montgomery Starts Camp paign to Send Campus Pictures to High Schools
A collection of twelve or fifteen of the most representative pictures showing the attractiveness of the University buildings and campus will be put in every accredited high school in the state within the next year if the plans of the Alumni of the University, prominent faculty members, students, and Lawrence business men work out.
Chancellor Frank Strong, Registrar George O. Foster, Prof. L. N. Flint, chairman of the department of journalism, Dean Frederick J. Kelly, director of the summer session, F. R. Hamilton, director of the University Press, Prof. S. O. Rice, director of the University Press and associate professor of journalism, Prof. W. H. Johnson, of the department of education, the Alumni of the University and Bert Ober, president of the Lawrence University favor the plan and have expressed themselves as willing to boost.
The idea of sending the pictures to the various high schools over the state is not altogether a new one as pictures have been sent out twice before they are printed; but that means the pictures are so out of date now that they tend to give an adverse opinion of the University. The plan now is to put out the up-to-date views so that the University will have the prestige among the students and send out pictures and pennants and other articles to attract students.
The prospective shortage of new enrollments next year is responsible for the idea of sending out an up-to-date collection of K. U. pictures. The course will be presented in the College, started the plan last week and has interviewed most of the prominent faculty members, students and merchants on the feasibility of the plan. So far everyone has been strongly in favor of the plan.
The pictures, as planned, will be placed on a large mat about three feet by four feet.
black oak. A glass will also be placed over the pictures so that they will not get soiled and will remain an attractive feature of the school rooms. The approximate cost of each set of pictures will be about five dollars, while the cost of crating and shipping will make the rate a little higher.
The Alumni of the University will probably form the working basis of the enterprise. It is thought that the Alumni of various high schools and individual students in the University will preside over their respective high schools with a set of the pictures as a present. Individual alumni living in various Kansas towns are also likely to buy the pictures for their home-town high school. The citizen of the university toward increasing the enrollment within the next few years.
Jam, Jelly, Preserves To Help Sorority Fare
Out of the twelve social sororities interviewed four have already made definite plans to can fruit and vegetables to bring back next year to help out with the food supply. The women will not meet at any one place to do the work, but each loyal sister will make all the preserves, jam, and jellies which she can induce her mother to supply the necessary ingredients for these. We will be carefully stored away on pantry shelves and in dark colbyweed cellars until the week arrives for the mad rush back to school.
While there are so many stories of the brave sacrifices of American men in their heroic efforts to train for defense and in their equally brave efforts to save and conserve, it is unnecessary to go no farther than the K. U. campus for examples of women's efforts to help out with the serious food conditions which threaten the nation.
Then porters will groan under their heavy burdens of bags so carefully packed with precious jars of quince honey and marmelade, while the coeds hover over them and with every other breath warn them not to dare set that apparently harmless bag down too hard. Probably Sue's best party frock will be ruined by the contents of some old jar which saw an injury in its journey toold K. U, in her trunk then that is of small consequence when we consider how much the other jars of string beans and bright tin cans of corn will help in keeping food prices more reasonable.
The Alpha Delta Pi's, Alpha XI Deltas, Chi Omegas and Achoths are the ones who have already made definite plans to help out in this way and others will probably follow their example before school closes. When the Kappa Kappa Gamma's were approached with the question they answered, "We have made no definite plans as yet but there is no telling what we may decide to do before quiz week is over.

All available drillers and machinery are being used to produce and deactivate the United States debarred war a noticeable increase in output has been made in the state.
the government in an attempt to increase the production of oil has exempted all the state geologists from enlistment," said Dr. Haynes of the department of geology, "hoping in this way to get them to use their efforts in prospecting for new fields of oil and coal."
The great need for the oil on the oil burning battle ships and destroyers is the primary reason for the current government is taking in this field.

A Graphic Memory—
It is the belief of the geologists over the country that greater effort than ever before will be taken by the government to discover and open up new fields, and to compel the companies holding big leases in the heart of the producing oil districts to drill on their leases immediately.
With an increased area of oil fields and a more intensive plan of drilling the government hopes to boost morale for warfare in consumption during the war.
"While the coal fields of Kansas are not as large and as important as those of some of the other states," she said. "I question asked him, 'still there is
no doubt they, also, will be worked to the maximum."
