PROFS WON'T WEAR ROBES
Seniors Have Voted to Wear Caps And Gowns But Faculty Says "Too Expensive"
"Seniors probably will wear caps and gowns at commencement but faculty members have decided they will not, because of the general movement to simplify the commencement ceremonies," J. J. Wheeler, chairman of the executive committee, said this morning.
The seniors voted to wear caps and gowns at a senior mass meeting held a few weeks ago but the war situation and desire to eliminate extremists may change the decision. The executive committee will have no voice in the matter.
Dean P. F. Walker was in Baldwin yesterday attending some matters concerning the National Guard unit there. Dean Walker has consented to take the capacity of the organization.

RESERVE CORPS OPEN TO NATIONAL GUARDS
Decision Approved by Secretary Baker—Will Examine Applicants at Once
MANY APPLY FOR PLACES
Recruits Increase Since Passing of Draft Law—Second Camp May be Necessary
The War Department has opened the Officers' Reserve Corps training camp to members of the National Guard units, whether in federal service or not who have been approved for appointments in the Officers' Reserve Corps. That was ordered as a result of an opinion handed down by the Judge Advocate General and approved by Secretary of War Baker.
The passage of the draft law by Congress has helped to increase the number of recruits to the training camp. If the present rate of applants continues, army officers believe that a second camp will be necessary.
Colonel Samuel Burkhardt received orders from the War. Department to examine all applicants directly. This will dispense with the necessity of sending the applications to the Central Department at Chicago. All the examinations will be conducted by Colonel Burkhardt here. The camp will open May 8, although designated to attend may report at Fort Riley not before May 8 and not later than May 14.
The simplified procedure was ordered because it was found the plan of sending applications to Chicago, from where they were referred back to Lawrence could not be handled in time for the opening of the company. The number of men that can be handled at Fort Riley will not exceed 2,500, it is expected that more than that number will pass the mental and physical examinations. In that case the 2,500 men best fitted for training will be designated. All the men who are accepted will be notified to report Commanding Officer at Fort Riley.
All construction work is at a standstill in Junction City, because all the carpenters have gone to Fort Riley to help rush the completion of several landmarks in house the house the officers. The plan is to complete the work in six days.
Colonel Samuel Burkhardt has accepted fifteen more applicants of which most of them are University men. W. K. James, D. K. Trivett, Frank J. Loren, John D. Shreve, John C. Fast, Harry Lelands, Stanley B. Garnett, Lynne Garnett, O. W. Murphy, C. A. Sutton, Sam Pickard, Albert C. Foulke, Henry S. Pegues, John P. Sladen, and Herbert W. Paul.
TO TEACH MUNITION MAKING
"A few more men can be accommodated in the munition courses in the shops and laboratory of the mechanical engineering department," continued Professor Sibley. "University credit is being allowed to those students who start the work not later than six weeks may commence." Of six weeks will end June 2nd and no new students will be received after the present week."
Professor Sibley Offers Six Weeks Course in Simple Lathe Machine Work for War Deployment
"While men are given a preliminary training such as to fit them for munition workers," said Prof. F. H. Sibley of the department of mechanical engineering, "applicants should understand that they can not be taught in six weeks enough to enable them to accept positions as first class mechanics in such factories. No munitions are made in Fowler Shops, or in other commercial work equipment or other commercial work. The work is entirely educational and done mainly in the machine and forge shops."
Work for War Preparation
"Each student," said Professor Sibley in explaining the course, "who signs up for the course is registered with the U. S. Civil Service Commission and it is understood that he will accept employment with the government if it is offered. It should be understood that taking this course does not necessarily exempt men from conscription into the army."
A three-thousand dollar consignment of chemical supplies, for use in the department of chemistry next year, arrived this morning.
Formerly, such supplies were imported from Germany, but these supplies, most of which are glass, were made in America, and have proven to be reliable in protecting the German products. More such supplies are expected later.
EXODUS CAUSES NEW CLASS ORGANIZATION
All Work in Military Training Division Rearranged to Meet Emergency
New Officers Have Been Appointed for the Four Recently Formed Companies
DRILL TO BE CONTINUED
The Voluntary Military Classes are being organized because of the expected exodus of the leaders to the Officers' Reserve camp. There will be four companies in the new organization. All the men in the Officers' Reserve camp are invited to the rolls, but the men are invited to attend the classes and the drills.
The companies will hold their drill together at four-thirty o'clock on the afternoons of every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. About 100 men were dropped back into work because of irregular attendance. Two classes which were organized primarily for the men who were planning to take Officers' Reserve examinations will be discontinued. Class 4 in Organization will resume in May. The class in Court-Martial will be discontinued after May 3.
The classes in Field Service Regulations and in Drill Regulations will be consolidated into one, meeting at a university's oclock Tuesday and Thursday.

The class in Military Engineering will meet at three-thirty o'clock Tuesday and Thursday, with a class period of 50 minutes.
In checking the class rolls of the Military Training School with Dean Templin's list of withdrawals, it was found that five men who had dropped work to enroll in the military classes had not done so.
All the classes will meet in Room 108, unless it is otherwise indicated.

CAN'T USE RED CROSS NAME TO ADVERTISE
Concerts, Dances and Meetings for Red Cross Must be Under Own Supervision
The Red Cross will stand for no benefit performances which are not directly under its control according to a statement issued this morning by Prof. J. N. Van der Vries. Too many people are using the name of the Red Cross to advertise different events and get people to attend.
Several cases of this kind have occurred recently and in order to put a stop to them the Red Cross society together with the Douglas County Sports Department of the defense league issued a notice this morning warning against such action.
The Red Cross is the only society of its kind authorized by an act of Congress and the use of the name of the organization is not to be used for advertising purposes. Any entertaining game or the display of the Red Cross must not only be conducted by the Red Cross authorities but the entire proceeds must also go to the society. Under no circumstances is the Red Cross allowed to go into any scheme on a percentage basis in order to finance the entire proceeds go to some charity and in which the Red Cross gets a portion of the proceeds.
Plain Tales from the Hill
The May Fete folks, knowing that this kolum, like the want-ad section, is the only one in the paper that we read consistently and fatiguelessly want us to announce that the May Fete will be pageanted Saturday at nine-thirty o'clock on the morning on the greenward of McCook Field—if rain doesn't fall too much between now and then.
Note for the benefit of the electioners: A hat, real Stetam, was discerned at the top of the head of Mr. Heidt, and he is a dedicated student. He is still a freshman, yaknow.
Mister professor Hawkins, the mucl abused prof, who, they say, lets his gu-url carry one paddle when they are headed for the Kaw and its canoes is still the same man. They walked right down Mass. st. yesterday. And onlookers say his gu-url carried one paddle. Maybe she likes to do it.
It seems to be a habit—this idea of lights on corners turning in peculiar manners that fail to cast their light upon the neighboring porches. A few weeks ago the light at the Sigma Kappa corner turned its face from that house. Now the porch is dark. This week the light down by the Mu Phi Epiosion house on Louisiana street also turned. And that porch is dark.
It's awful.
When one steps waterward with the fixed determination to place one's foot in a boat and the boat isn't where one thinks it is, one usually gets wet. Such a thrill-that-comes once happened to Albert S. Klemp on the placid Kaw. It was at the boat landing. Klemp was intending to be the last man into the boat. Everyone was seated when the boat began to drift towards the center of the stream. Klemp still held onto his determination to be the last in the boat and stepped out and down. The water bubbled over his head. He came up wet. And got out that way.
Art Ellison has a dog. Like Mary's lamb he follows him, (that is the dog follows Art.) But there are several dogs on the Hill of the same make-up as Art's dog. Maybe the dog doesn't know the whistle of its master. Anyway Ellison placed paint upon the exterior of the dog with the aid of a brush. And now he knows his own dog. Clever.
N. E. Berry, '110, is in the city for a short visit at the Phi Kappa Psi house.
This man was not a slacker. No. But he did use care. "In what branch of the service do you wish to enter?" asked the examining officer. "In the navy?" responded the recruit. "And why?'" queries the officer. "Battleships cost the government something like ten million dollars apiece," says the recruit. "Do you think that Uncle Sam is going to act carelessly with those ten million dollar birds? Nix. So it's me for the navy."
ASK TO RAISE KANSAS
QUOTA BY VOLUNTEERS
Professor Blackmar and Committee Present Substitute Plan for Draft
DEFENSE COUNCIL BUSY
Unify Local Patriotic Leagues and Plan to Put "Floaters" to Work
The public defense committee of the State Council of Defense of which Prof. F, W. Blackmar of the department of sociology is head, yesterday formulated plans to secure volunteers for the National Guard. They have planned to raise through volunteers the quota of men that will be allotted to Kansas in the first call. In this way Kansas may avoid conscription if permission can be obtained from the war department.
On a call for 500,000 men, the Kansas quota will be between 8,000 and 11,000 men. The plan of the state defense committee is to secure volunteers to that number to fill up the units of National Guards. The state defense committee has appointed every member of the last legislature on a recruiting committee, headed by A. M. Keene, of Fort Scott.
LEGISLATORS DIRECT ENLISTMENTS
The one hundred sixty-five members of the legislature have been asked to take charge of the enlisting of volunteers in their district. If the required number of men are secured to fill the guard units, Kansas will not have to use the draft to secure troops. The plans will not interfere with the registration of those of military service under the rules. Under the terms of the act the war department may not allow the plans to be carried out, but preparation is being made to secure the required number if permission can be obtained.
UNIFY PATRIOTIC LEAGUES
In the meeting of the state defense committee yesterday, two other committees were organized, one to organize local defense leagues and the other was the vagancy committee. At the head of the defense leagues committee is James Kimball of Salina. The purpose of the committee is to organize the many patriotic leagues that are springing up all over the state into a state organization to work toward certain definite ends.
J. K. Codding of Lansing is the chairman of the vagrancy committee. It has been found that at least fifty per cent of the persons in Kansas jails are transients of the hobo type. Many of these have drifted in from other states to Kansas in harvest time. The plans of the committee are to force those who do not enlist to engage in some kind of work.
It will be necessary to have a complete organization with the proper authorities of the counties and cities of the state so that loafers and beggars may be sent to places where work will be provided for them.
The other committee under the general committee of state defense committee of the state council of defense are: the chemical products committee, L. S. Bushness of Kansas City, chairman, red cross emeritus, and the hospital committee, Charles S. Huffman, of Columbus, chairman.
"All of the committees under the state defense committee are being thoroughly organized and will be able to render valuable service to the state," said Professor Blackmar this morning.
