Students and Professors Eat Out Sunday Nights
So Lawrence eats out, and the cash registers of the hotel and dollars register.
Lawrence "eats out" on Sunday night. Cooks and waiters in the boarding houses have to take their Sunday afternoon walks or joyrides or other recreation and of course they can't be bothered by going back to six when the pahson begins to talk at seven and won't do to be late.
First and continuously come the dates. They drop in after the weekly trip to Haskell or before they start up the river. They order pickles and chocolate-caramel-p e a n u t-marshallow-cherry eclairs and other things. And yet they live to do it again.
Then come the family parties. Mr. and Mrs. Professor and little Mary come over and order chicken dinners. Then in the eloquent hush while the perspiring pianist rests after "Poo." He's now ready to berg, "Daddy, please let me have the lettuce in your salad to take home to my bunny."
Finally, after the family parties and the dates have gone, the woman-haters and the bachelor maids appear, in little groups, with malice aforethought proudly ignoring each other's existence. "Thought the men would be gone by this time," complains the girls, "and no one would see that we haven't Sunday night dates." But the men just smoke.
Engineers In Summer School
Engineers In Summer School A number of students in the School of Engineering will remain in summer school and do shop work. F. H. Sibley, professor of mechanical engineering and superintendent of shops is eager for many students to remain through the summer months.
All engineering students interested are requested to report at the shops or Marvin Hall.
Sigma Delta Chi meets at Pi Kappa Alpha house Wednesday evening 7:30 o'clock. Important.
WINNERS GIVE W. S. G. A.
PRIZE TO COMPANY M
At the W. S. G. A. Stunt Dance in Robinson Gymnasium Saturday afternoon, District 8 won first prize. A loving cup was to have been offered to the winner but council members and judges voted to give the winning district honorable mention and give $5 to Company M in the name of the district. Miss Sara Laird and Miss Helen Jones were judges.
The prize-winning stunt was a Spooner Library scene in which parts were taken by Minnie Moody, Airline Griffiths, Carol Martin, Dorothy Murcum, Harriet Bagley, Hazel Schoenbeck, Beatrice Kraemer, Florence Ingham, Julia Kennedy, Mabel Elmore, and Dorothy Cole.
TRAINING STARTS AT FORT RILEY TUESDAY
Men Have to Wash Windows and Scrub Floors the First Day
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 14, 1917.
Real work in military training will start at Fort Riley tomorrow, according to letters from former K. U. students this morning. The first day in camp have been spent washing windows and sweeping and scrubbing floors and walks. One of the first tasks was to learn to make beds.
The regular work will include physical drills, study of soldiering, marching and standing, signaling, and guard duty. The care of the crew also occupy a part of the time. No regular work is scheduled for Saturday.
More than two thousand men are enlisted in the camp and they have been assigned to companies. A four mile hike, although not on the regular program for the week was scheduled for today.
A large number of students from the University of Missouri are enlisted in the camp and the majority of the colleges of Kansas are represented by her alumni. Good food and good cooks were mentioned in the letters this morning and the men said it was a live place.
FRASER HALL GETS WIRE CAGE
New Equipment for University Post Office to Comply With Regulations
The postoffice in Fraser Hall is now properly enclosed with a wire cage, according to government regulations. It has also been changed to the north of the one formerly used for the purpose—to accommodate the cage.
Registrar Foster is the official postmaster for the University, but he is not allowed inside the steel cage. Only a clerk, sworn into government service, according to civil service rules, can handle the business. Miss Orphana Wilbur is now official postmistress.
Failure to comply with government regulations would mean either a fine for the University or closing up the Hill station.
STUDENTS WHO WHTDREW
GET CREDIT-CHANCELLOR
"Seniors who withdrew from the University to work on farms will get their credits this spring," Chancellor Strong announced this morning.
Underclassmen will be given credit in September after a report of their work this summer has been received by the University." Enlisted men were granted their credits without conditions.
The Kansan Board, department of journalism students who edit The Daily Kansan, will be elected for the coming year at a meeting of the present board May 23. Don Davis, who has been elected editor-in-chief works with the Kansan school, till the same office the first two weeks next year.
Editors on the Kansan are elected for one month terms. Many of the present Kansan board are seniors or have left school to take military training. The candidates will be based on the work in journalism done by candidates.
KANSAN BOARD TO ELECT
MEMBERS FOR NEXT YEAR
The work of Edna Osborne, a graduate student in the University, is gaining wide recognition. Yesterday her poem, "A Large Kansas Garden," appeared in the Kansas City Star. The subject of the poem was taken from one of the peasant girls in the "Chimes of Normandy," given in the early winter by the students in the School of Fine Arts.
Her Poem Published
The Gamma Phi Beta sorority will entertain with a dance Saturday night at Woodland Park. Mrs. Owen, in woodland park, Simonds of Kansas City will chaperon.
Mike Glitter and Charles Morgan of the University of Missouri are guests at the Sigma Chi house.
NO MILITARY PLANS FOR COMING SEMESTER
Raising of Draft Age May Bring Service Training to the University
No plans for military training have been made by the University authorities for next year. The uncertainty pervading all departments makes such plans impracticable, Chancellor Strong thinks.
The raising of the draft age to twenty-one may increase the enrollment for next year above the number looked for and so make military students more likely. It probably will adopt plans suggested for American colleges by the Council of National Defense. The conference of representatives of American colleges at Washington last week recommended continuing their college work if possible.
Chancellor Strong has been appointed a member of the advisory committee for war service for the Association of State Universities. He is also president of Charles R. Van Hise, president of the University of Wisconsin, A. Ross Hill, president of the University of Missouri, and Edmund J. James, president of the University of Illinois. Two years of military training are required by Missouri to be a Missouri also offers a two-year course. If a student passes the examinations at the end of the second year he is prevented second lieutenant.

NINE WOMEN AWARDED "A'S" AT ANNUAL DANCE
More Letters May be Won at Spring Tennis Meet to be Held Soon
The Woman's Athletic Association gave its annual "dress-up" party in Robinson Gymnastium Saturday night. During the intermission Mrs. Charles Esterly made the athletic awards for the year. The cup won in the basket-tower by the junior class was received by Capt. Tucker. The swimming meet cup was received by Capt. Doris Drought of the freshman class.
Athletic "A's" were awarded to women of the University who have earned four hundred or more points, according to the point system outlined in the constitution of the Woman's receiving points were: Seniors, Esther Rhuland; juniors, Frieda Daum and Lucie Sterling; sophomores, Helen Wagstaff; Darlene Woolsey, and Lucy Heathman; freshmen, Doris Drought. Miss Drought was the only freshman girl receiving her letter. It very self-reliant that a sufficient number of points were during the freshman year to entitle one to the Athletic "A."
Eight women received "The Circle," an emblem awarded only to those who have previously been awarded the athletic "A," and who have since earned 150 points. Those receiving the "Circle" were: Seniors, Miriam Jones, Cora Shinn, and Lottie Martin; junior, Ruth Endacott, Dorothy Tucker, Sarah Trant, Dorothy Querfeld, and Joyce Brown.
Owing to the fact that after this year the tennis tournament will be held in the fall, some awards may be made after the tournament this spring. This will be done so that no points may be sacrificed. The fact that the weather is so uncertain during the spring months is the cause of changing the time of the tennis tournament.

KANSAS ENGINEER" READY
Faculty, Students, and Alumni Contribute Varied Articles to Engineering Magazine
The Kansas Engineer will be on sale Wednesday, according to Charles Sloan, editor. One of the special features of this year's Engineer is an article by Dean P. F. Walker on, The Industrial Development in Kansas. Andrew Walsh has done much research work along the line and his many speeches over the state have boosted industrial development in Kansas.
Another interesting section of the Engineer is twenty pages of alumni news, notes and letters. Members of classes as early as 1894 are contrib- tive to this paper. Some spicy and interesting campus notes add local interest.
Twenty-five students have contributed to this issue "The New Kaw River Bridge at Lawrence", by Dean E. Ackers is accompanied by many interesting pictures of the bridge during construction.
Prof. A. A. MacMurray, of the department of public speaking, will leave for Troy, Kansas, today where he will give a commencement address and evening he will speak at the high school commencement at Ellis.
Prof. Elise Neenschwander will have charge of the Oral French class at 3:30 o'clock Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in F108.
Perhaps sometimes the University authorities will make us turn in itemized accounts of our Christmas shopping.
Plain Tales from the Hill
HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Five years ago the girls used to make Welsh rarebits in the chafing dish. Now the fashion is Rum Tiddy. Use a well advertised soup in place of milk. Cheese is still the rudimentary idea, however.
Divinity and Fudge have been replaced by Sorghum Brittle, using a much nutpuff up breakfast food for nuts.
Root-beer smoothies are made at the fountains now instead of ice cream sundae.
Hamburgers come either ten or thin. Which is to say that you can get them for ten cents or they come thin as the proverbial postage stamp. And no more do the co-eds embroider guest towels. They tat or knit. To knit has become a famous war cry. To knit has a whole sock without leaving a hump. And the movies are still well patronized.
How's this from the newly elected cheerleader? At that oft-mentioned carnival, fete de tents, Rusty Friend happened to be watching the dancing girls the other evening. One of the beautiful dancing girls tapped Rusty on the shoulder and asked him to dance. But Rusty had a date and was horribly enjoying himself but werent able to hush the girl by saying "No." To what the dancer replied, "Oh, you're not dancing this evening, Rusty?"
But we have to tell the end of this You see, the entire thing was a put-up job for which the lady received a quarter. Rusty is innocent.
Whoaouganha be the first one to appear on the Hair wearing a straw hat!
We wait with fear. And the glad hand.
Rollo Harger, instructor in chemistry, must be polite. This story shows it. He was busy working in the Chem building the other day. Saw two strange women looking around. Congratulating himself of the chance to do something for the Permanent School, he and two strangers the University in its working clothes, he asked permission to show them over the building.
Well, everything from the didoes to the hickey was explained. Then they came out and
"Where is your home?" asked the modern Sir Launcelot, intending may be to report to their congressman that he had seen them.
"Oh, we really haven't any home; we wrote the carnival, they sweetly replied."
Anyway, Rollo must be polite.
Seriousness is the spice of life. Even in these war times folks get serious. The latest is one maiden on the Hill who has called Sergeant Cormack of company M the best looking man in the company. And she meant it, too.
And to think he is tied up with the army.
Loving cups not always are made of silver and gold. The latest is one of good old Oread clay. The University of Kansas Alumni Association of Pittsburgh, Penn., has asked for a loving cup of clay from Mt. Oread. A three handed cup, eight inches wide, with a six inch base has been made by the team historians. The K. U. monogram is printed on three sides with an inscription running around the top. To Hue to Thee, our Alma Mater, Hall to K. S. U.
Kenneth Lott, an authority on sleep, is also an expert detectif. He can purlon even from thieves. Kenneth went on a hike to Woodland Lake where he saw maid was along. While gathering sticks to roast witches, Kenneth saw two small boys running with sacks of grub. He gave chase, and the boys dropped the grub when in danger of it, so Lott's party had lots of extra eats.
The point: The food originally belonged to another picnic party at Woodland who still think the small boys got the grub.
John Drury is a scientific ruff rider.
He causes a whole carnival to marvel
It happened Sat, nite at Woodland
The carnival, yknow, offered five (V)
beans to any one who could ride the
balking donkey. So John sees a home-
town boy with a tame donkey, docile
and domesticated. He offers the boy
fifteen cents rent, and bravely rides
up and down Midway while poets and
peasants wonder and Jayhawkers
stand against.
It is alleged the carnival management offered Drury the five beans, but that was too much for his honest heart.
Double-U Double-U Hawkins teaches German and canoeing. Usually he believes in equal rights in toting paddles riverward. But Sunday he met his match. His young lady friend insisted he carry both paddles, and he did. The y. l. f. is a journalist. Draw your own moral.

FOSTER GIVES WARNING TO FUND TREASURERS
Registrar Sends Out Final Letter Requesting Statements of Organizations
ONLY ONE REPORT GIVEN
Itemized Account of Symphony Orchestra Concert Given—Frosh Turned in $7
"The report of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra concert, turned in by Dean Butler this morning, is the only statement of receipts and expenditures the Registrar's office has received," Registrar George O. Foster said this morning, following his recent notice.
ITEMIZED ACCOUNTS NECESSARY
"All managers of social affairs and officers of organizations have received warning. Some statement of estimated expenditures must be turned in even if records were destroyed. Neither Howard Fleeson nor Harry Montgomery, managers of this year's Prom, have turned in such a report. The freshman president, Mark Adams, left 7 at the office before he withdrew from the University, but he left no statement.
"A letter will be sent to all class officers and managers this week. This will give them one more chance to turn in statements before the Univer- authorities take action on the matter, and that is necessary that an itemized account, including all received bills, be turned in to the registrar's office."
A letter, requesting all organizations handling student money to file records of all receipts and expenditures at once, was sent out by Mr. Foster Wednesday. The letter should have been responded to immediately as the regulation of the University Senate requires all such organizations keep a set of books, furnished them by the Senate.
It has been practically impossible to audit accounts of organizations this year, it is said. Reports of mishandling of student funds have caused the Registrar to demand the accounts. If they are filed at the Registrar's office, the character of students who manage student affairs will be free from question, Mr. Foster said.
