UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
MT. OREAD RESEMBLES BARRACKS LIFE OF '63
Memories of Civil War Days Return When Co. M Drills In Semi-Darkness
MEN BEGIN RIFLE DRILL
Students Favor Universal Service Plan to Save Nation In Present Crisis
Mt. Oread, the sites of the Union barracks and trenches in 1863, again had in a smaller way the appearance of a military camp last night when the new recruits of Company M drilled under the electric lights in front of Robinson gymnasium. The group of spectators attracted by the drill had but to foul them and see the marching columns in the semi-darkness and the click of the guns to catch the spirit that stirred the men of '63.
The men put as much vim into their drill as they put into an athletic event. Last night, at their second drill, they were instructed in the first principles of the rifle. These exercises are usually given after three or four weeks of marching, but owing to the fact that most of the work is being rushed. Company M has about sixty rifles at the army at the present time.
STUDENTS FAVOR DRAFT
**STUDENTS FAME DRAFT**
If the university committee which voted against the plan for raising an army by selective conscription had at the armory last night, they would have heard some rather plain language denouncing the congressional muddling of the administration's war plans. The volunteer is on its way, if suddenly insufficient if not dangerous for the country at this time.
Other companies over the country,
students point out, have no better
success in enlisting men than
Company M. The country has been at
war for two weeks and yet the army
is far from being on a fighting basis.
WITH ME
"We can't press the men of being weak-knee not for enlisting, rather it is their desire to nail the soft snap that they think will come some time in the future," said First Sergeant Daum last night. "This is not the right attitude, and the chances are that they won't get the jobs after all."
The new recruits announced are Charles E. Warders, Lester Elmore, Charles A. Haines, and Lowell Whitla.
SPORT BEAMS
Coach McCarty's Varsity players romped on Potsy's freshmen again yesterday afternoon by a 6 to 1 score in a five inning game. The Varsity players have been slugging the ball the last few days and are getting in-tip condition to add a couple of victories over the Cornhuskers next week, when they come here for two games.
The Varsity lineup has been changed constantly the last few days, because several of the players have been called to help their fraternity brothers in the Pan-Hellenic and Professional Choirs, and Smee played with the Theta Tauus and Carter and Craig played with the Phi Alpha Deltas.
The feature of the Phi Alpha Delta-Theta Tau clash was the exhibition pitching by Ad. Lindsey, who stayed in the box for the last five and three-quarter innings of a six inning game. In the second innning Lindsey succeeded in fanning two of the P. A. Ds on a grounder. He also allowed six hits, three of which were made before he got limbered up.
Jick Fast, K man on the football and gymnasium teams, sprung a surprise on Allen, the P. A. D. pitcher, by connecting for a home run, after having fanned out the first time to bat. His hit was the longest hit that has been made on Hamilton Field this year.
Tommy Pringle, halfback on the Jayhawker football team, is a strategist. He says he is going some to organize a company of home guards at Alma and take them to Milwaukee to watch the game in the first place the Germans would go, and that they would never get to Kanaas.
"Real offensive strength is the outstanding feature of the Tiger baseball nine as the team appears at this stage of its schedule," comments the Daily Missouriian. "In plain figures, the team has scored eighty runs in
nine consecutive victories to the twenty-seven scored by its opponents. The summaries of runs, hits, stolen bases, basses on balls, double plays and sacrifice hits show aggressive, heady playing and real run-getting ability. The real test of the season will come with the return games at Ames and the games with Kansas in the next two weeks."
The individual records of the Tigers are:

DRAMATIC CLUB PLAYS BEFORE LARGE AUDIENCE
Students Jam Green Hall to See "The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife"
They perched in the windows, they choked the aisles, they peeked through gaps among the screens; in short, the audience that jammed into Green Hall Theatre last night was declared the largest in years. The "street" in front of the coolest, whimsical buildings at the theater, salesmen cried their wares, was no wider than a cowpath; and, hat! the "street" exit was an east window.
The attraction? Oh yes. It was "The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife." This weird two-act farce, y'understand, was given recently by K. U. alumni players, but not, as critics opined, with quite the balance that graced the Dramatic Club show last night.
D'y krew, Harold Lyle—coach,
leading man, and chief of staff—was
a busy man after the show. He didn't
even have time to brush away the
perspiring beads on his brow, so
flooded was he with congrats--for
Harold, y'krew, was the strenuous,
long-suffering fudre.
Susan McDonald, as the wife who chattered in a manner "most abundant," and Guy Ecrowdy, as the suave lawyer-schoolmate, furnished real comedy. Kenneth Lott, as the pompous and learned doctor, made it plain that he was the great I-am; and Dara d'Aral Hartley, surgeon-barber, whose name ever so quiet, would be thoughtful, so thoughtful, Karl Brown showed both voice and versatility in handling a half dozen varied roles.
But the cast was a balanced one—
there wasn't a week character in the bunch. Ruth Foster, as Mademoiselle, Helen Gallagher, as the judge's servant, and Harry Velzer, as his secretary, added charm with their "bit," and Everett Grecian, as the apothecary, mumbled his consent whenever necessary.

der of the present semester when he takes the place of an enlisted man in a position where employment is in the interests of the public service, under the same condition as those stipulated for those students who leave to work on the farm.
With reference to excusing men of the several schols of the University from regular work to enable them to participate in drill and other forms of military work now being offered at universities, following regulations are agreed upon:
a. These students who enroll for the drill only are to be excused from no regular work in courses, excepting the usual gymnasium work required of freshmen students.
b. Those students who enroll for the drill and for one and one-half or two hours work in the special classes on alternate days when drill is not given for the group in which the individual may be placed, the total time thus given to the military work being reduced by a quarter may be excused for the remainder of the remainder of the semester from course of not more than three hours credit.
c. Those students who are carrying the maximum of work offered in the military classes, and who are studying for the examination for the Officers Reserve Corps under the U. S. Army or are enlisted in units of the State Military Forces, must pass the examination for Provisional Second Lieutenant in the U. S. Army, may be excused for the remainder of the semester from courses of six hours credit. It is understood that students in this group should have made application to the proper army authorities for the examinations in question. Students must release from class work in regular courses.
Just Take a Look-d. Those students who have signed enlistment papers for enrollment in the Enlisted Reserve corps for service as mechanics, electricians, operators, in aviation or construction, or batant branches of the Army, or who have signed cards which make them subject to call under the U. S. Civil Service regulations for service in arsenals, ship boarding, or the special course in shop training for mechanics being offered

Coach Hamilton Takes Mile, 2
Mile and 4-Mile Teams to
Des Moines
Captain Rodkey, O'Leary, Sproull, Welsh, McHale, Stateter, Groeine, and Howland will be taken to the Drake Relay games at Des Moines Saturday, Coach W. O. Hamilton announced this morning. Manager Hamilton denied four relays because he took four mile relay and he took two more men than he at first planned.
Howland, Groene, Stateler, and either Sproull, Rocky, or Murphy will run in the four mile relay. Rodky, O'Leary, Sproull, and Welsh will run in the four mile relay teams entered in the four mile relay than in any other event in the meet.
Murphy, Rodkey, Sproull, and Welsh or Stateler will run in the two mile relay. This team appears to have won every race, so we meet Saturday because it will be the first race on the program, while in the other races some of the K. U. men will be running their second race and we usually not make as a good showing.
Many of the best schools in the Big Nine will have teams entered in the meet and practically all of the teams in the Missouri Valley will run. More than ten teams are entered in the mile race nearly as many in the two mile relay.
In the two mile relay the Kansas runners will probably make the winner cover the distance in less than eight minutes. In the four mile relay the distance is made by making the distance in 18:18. The mile relay team may be weakened by the fact that O'Leary has not been able to work out for more than a week.
Sam Pickard, student last year, is working as advertising manager on the Aurora, (Mo.) Advertiser.
