UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
NO MORE APPLICATIONS FOR TRAINING CAMPS
Local Office In Charge of Colonel Burkhardt Closed Last Saturday
MEN WILL GET GOOD PAY
Applicants Will be Notified at Once and Should Report This Week
The local office for examining applicants for the Reserve Officers' Training Camp was closed Saturday night after establishing a record in the Central Department for the number of applicants passed. Colonel Samuel Burkhard left this morning for Emporia, leaving Wm. B. Cobb, branch chairman of the Military Training Camp Association, in charge of the remaining work to be done. All the papers of applications have not been sent to the nearest station. The papers of all university men have been sent to Captain O. R. Cole, Indiana Bldg., 12th and Karnas City.
Colonel Burkhardt accepted 269 men from here for the training camp at Fort Riley. The largest number accepted in a single day was on last Saturday, when 81 successfully passed.
CAMPS READY TOMORROW
WILL GET PAY
Colonel H. O. S. Heistand, Department Adjunct, stated this morning that the camps will be ready for occupancy May 8th. Accepted applicants will be admitted on the 8th and up to and including May 14th. The Commanding General at Fort Riley will send to each one of the fortunate 2,500 a postal card instructing him to report. Upon receipt of this postal card the candidate should start for work in the camp, which will be freed from his cover damage to uniform or equipment. It is suggested that each candidate limit his baggage to one small trunk and a handbag or less.
The House and Senate conferences agreed last wek upon a provision allowing regular army pay to officers now commissioned in the Officers' Reserve Corps and $100 a month to others in attendance at the camps.
Each applicant is requested when he reports at the camp to have on his person the duplicate copy of the application to attend the camp furnished him by the examining board, and the postal card sent him by the Camp Commander authorizing him to report at the camp.

A Liberal Education in Geology Students' Hikes
Geology I students took their first field trip Saturday. They surveyed the suburbs of Lawrence, and decided to build a lake like this one it must be a merry life.
WOULD CANCEL ATHLETIC DATES AFTER MAY 15
Then, the trip was so exciting. Perfectly innocent, they trespassed on certain property on the Hill. While they were gaily digging fossils out of the front yard of said property, the lady of the house drove up in her Cadillac and requested them to desist. They desisted.
Besides all that, they got so much valuable experience for war time. They learned how to march at the real army rate. They learned how to cross barb wire entanglementes. They learned how to apply Red Cross training by binding up a wound incurred on the barbed wire. The beginner-geologists will be prepared for active service most any time now.
You see, they learned so much. They studied rocks. They studied fossils. They did not collect fossils, but they collected rocks. Maybe you didn't know it, but in geology, mud is a rock. You saw the back mud, then they brought back. Mud, mud, and then some more mud! The landlands are still sweeping it out, and the students have learned to identify that kind of rock with absolute certainty.

Eighteen Athletes Have Withdrawn to Take Part in War and Hamilton Worries
It is extremely doubtful if the University of Kansas will be able to fill its athletic schedules after May 15 if the present withdrawals of the best athletes to enroll in the Officers' Reserve camp continues. This condition will be advanced further if the National Guard is called out within the next two weeks, which at present seems likely.
Up to the present date, eighteen of K. U's best athletes have either entered some branch of the service or are subject to call within some time this month. Those who have already applied for permission to enter the Officers' Reserve camp at Fort Riley this month are: Bill Weber, Varsity fieldier; Daniel W. Varsity fieldier; Red Craig, star Varsity pitcher; Casey and Small, Varsity weight men, and Welsh, Varsity quarter miler.
Treweeke, star Varsity jumper,
Groene, Varsity two-miler, and Potsy
Clark, assistant athletic coach, also
will go to this camp, as well as Adrian
Lindsey, captain of the Varsity football
team last fall. Nielsen, 1917
football captain, and Jick Fast have
joined Company H.
Dummy O'Leary, star quarter miler,
collected in the engineering company
of Hugh Hepburn.
hurdler and dash man, has applied for a position in the coast artillery. McIlhenny, Varsity infield man, is a member of Company M. Wint Smith, an assistant coach in the high jumper who placed in the Penn games this year, and Chase, Varsity baseball man, will go to the Officers' Reserve camp. Murphy, Varsity half miler, has applied for a position in the aerial corps at Leavenworth.
Coach Hamilton said this mormon, that it was doubtful if the meet with Nebraska would be held or any of the meets after that. It will all depend upon what happens between now and then, he said. Kansas men who were there in May have last month feel it is no honor to win in a meet now that so many of the star athletes have enlisted in some service for the country.
The smaller schools of Classes B and C bested the larger ones of Class A in most events. Class B excelled in the 100 and 220 dazes, 220-yard hurdles, pole vault, and broad jump. Class C made the best records in the 120 yard hurdles, jump, and discus. Classes B and C tied in 120-yard hurdle records, and Class A was best in only two events, the quarter mile and the shot put.
Yimminy, what a yump! J. V. Wright, the colored bumper from Baldwin, leaped into the lime-light Saturday when he covered 21 $8\%$ inches, within four inches of the record. He is a cousin of Wright, holder of the K. U. interscholastic record.
