KANSAS MEN SUBJECT TO MILITARY TRAINING
Passage of Chamberlain Bill Means That K. U. Would be Virtual War Camp
CONSCRIPTION FAVORED
Local Professor Believes Burden of Impending Struggle Should be Borne by All
The universal military plan as suggested by President Wilson in his speech to Congress last night and as outlined in the Chamberlain bill, if it be a law, will affect practically 75 per cent of the men in the University.
CALL MEN OF TWENTY
The message of the President urged universal liability to service which is commonly known as the universal service plan.
CARRIER MONTHS OF TWENTY
This measure as explained by Senator Bacon, author of the bill provides that, "In cases where age is 29 years of age will be trained and if the president finds that the national defense so requires he may, by proclamation, call out for training those between the ares of 21, 22 and 23.
It may also require these men to register and be examined. Men who have been or are in training constitute the national army which is a subject to call to service in case of war or imminent danger thereof."
TWO MILLION READY
Senator Chamberlain estimates the number of men which would be raised by this method to be between $1\frac{1}{2}$ million to 2 million.
"I think that conscription should be resorted to right at the start," said Prof. B. F. Moore this morning. This does not mean that every man should be conscripted but that the education and the ability of every man should be used. This would do away with the volunteer service where only men who really feel duty bound are forced to enlist. A colleague or servile other men not so patriotic stay home. Conscription would do away with this."
THE CALL OF THE PRIMITIVE
Three Bold Bad Buccaneers Brave Buffeting Breakers of Broad Kaw in Bobbing Barkentine
Here beginneth a tale of adventure of dangers braved and hardships enured. Friday afternoon Henry Pegues, Bill Stewart and John Trout explore the depths of the monotony of living, hit upon the idea of canoeing to Kansas City.
They started Friday evening with high spirits and steadfast hearts but before they had traversed many miles their gallant bark was upon the shoals of a Kaw river sand bar. They spent the rest of the night in a barn. Not to be undone by such a trifling humour, their journals were Saturday morning arriving at Armenia 6:30 the same evening. Thus ended the journey—all但 but the stiffness from which the explorers are slowly recovering this week.
Muriel Brownlee will be the guest of Nell Smith at Horton for Easter vacation.
The University Daily Kansan:
The City of Lawrence will hold its patriotic day on Thursday, April 5. It seems highly desirable that the University join the city in this celebration and take one of a separate committee in charge had to make its plans last Friday evening and an immediate decision on my part was necessary. I trust that the whole University may approve of our joining with the city and cooperate with our universities. The celebration will take place on Thursday afternoon. Classes will be held as usual in the morning, but must necessarily be dismissed in the afternoon. I urge all students and faculty members to remain Lawrence during Thursday afternoon parade, which is to be as representative of the City of Lawrence and its institutions as possible. A place will be provided for students and faculty in the parade. I sincerely hope now that our President has found such eloquent and forceful teachers in that we shall not be behindhand in our demonstrations of loyalty to him and our country.
FRANK STRONG.
Chancellor.

FRATTS MAY INITIATE MEN
WHO ENTER THE SERVICE
Fraternity pledges whose grades are satisfactory at the time may be initiated before leaving for military service in case of war. A motion to this effect was passed by the Pan-Hellenic Council Sunday.
The new inter-fraternity by-laws were adopted in which the pledge must have passed in twelve hours work in one semester before he can be initiated. The former ruling was that he must pass in two-thirds of his work
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 3, 1917
ROBINSON MEMORIAL NOW BEING DESIGNED
Bronze Tablet to Faithful Latin Teacher to be Set Up at Commencement
A bronze tablet, now being designed by Chester Beach, a New York artist, will be created in Room 210 Braser Hall, as a memorial to Prof. David A. Smith, a painter in the University from the time it was founded until his death in 1855.
The members of the class of '80 started the movement at their thirty reunion last year. The matter was taken up by a committee this fall. The executive committee consists of H. E. Riggs, '86, J. W. Gleed, '79, Hannah Oliver '74, Scott Hopkins is treasurer of the fund and Stuart Henry '81 is chairman of the art committee.
The tablet will be placed in the room, used by Professor Robinson the last twenty years of his teaching. It will be displayed Tuesday before commencement. Arrangements for speakers and exact time have not been completed.
WOMEN RESPOND TO CALL
More Than 130 Have Entered Red Cross Training Class—Will Study First Aid
Study First Aid
The first step taken by University women towards an active part in the war will be the meeting of the Red Army under the supervision of Dr. Dopphly.
The quickened interest in the work among the University women has brought the number of signifiers to 130, and it is expected more than two hundred women will attend the first meeting of the class, according to Miss Bertha V. Mix, secretary to Doctor Child.
Part of the time will be spent this evening in organizing the class. Doctor Child will lecture on "General Directions for Giving First Aid." A small fee is charged for admission into the class. Meetings will be every Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock for the present, although it is probable a division will be necessary later on when more women enroll.
C. U. HAS DISTANT STUDENTS
Majority Come From Other Kansa Colleges, But State Universities Contribute Many Undergrads
Two hundred and seventy-eight students have entered the University of Kansas from other universities this year. Between four and five hundred have come from smaller colleges in the state, but K. U. has also attracted from all parts of the country and from Japan, the Philippines, and Hawaii.
Students have entered Kansas this year from Harvard, the universities of North Carolina, Texas, Oregon, and Wisconsin. A number of students who have come from the universities of adjoining states. The University of Oklahoma has fourteen six students, while Wisconsin and Chicago each four and Chicago five.

Women faculty members say there is a need for such an organization because they are showing great interest in it. They think the limit ship and all women are invited.

FACULTY FAVORS FULL CREDIT FOR ENLISTERS
Credit for the full semester's work will probably be given by the University Senate at a meeting today to all students who enlist in the United States Army. The school of Engineering has granted full credit to students enrolled in the school.
Senate Will Probably Adopt Plan Outlined at Time of Mexican Trouble
Olin Templin, dean of the College, said this morning that some provision would probably be made whereby enlisted students would be given full time education and a similar plan was decided upon last, spring at the time of the Mexican trouble.
By the decision of the School of Engineering faculty all men in Company M, the University company, or any University engineering student enlisted in any branch of the United States service will be given credit, if they are passing at the time they are called into service. Practically all branches of the national guard were sworn in as part of the regular army at the time of the Mexican trouble last summer.
This would mean that a senior would graduate next week if he were called into service by the government, providing he were passing at the time he was forced to leave school and took employment. E. Jones, of Company M, believes there will be 'a heavy enlistment from the School of Engineering.
Uncle Jimmy Green, dean of the School of Law, said this morning that by informal action of the faculty, all seniors who are enlisted will be given their degrees even if they are forced to leave the Board of Administration also enforced of this action. Whether or not full credit will be given to enlisted men, other than seniors, will be decided at the next faculty meeting. Uncle Jimmy said he was in favor of granting an award as an inducement to volunteer but because the students should have the credit and they should go when the call comes.
The deans of other schools appear to be in favor of granting full credit to students who would insist. The deans will probably mean that many women enlisting as Red Cross nurses will also be given credit.
ATTEND CHICAGO CONFERENCE
L. N. Flint and W. B. Brown Leave for Meeting of Association of
American Journalism Schools
The Association of American Schools of Journalism has a membership of the ten leading journalism schools of the country. They are the universities of Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin, Ohio, Missouri, Indiana, Columbia, and Kansas. The conference will be held April 5-7 and will take up the standardization of college departments of journalism. A number of prominent newspaper men of Chicago and elsewhere will address the conference.
The college authorities have given the students a vacation from Thursday noon until Tuesday morning, but some of the professors are seemingly disregarding it by already assigning quizzes for the 8:30 classes Tuesday morning thus taking away all the pleasure of what might be an enjoyable vacation. Have a heart, Mr. Faculty Man!
A Daily Letter Home—The Daily Kansas.
Prof. L, N. Flint of the department of journalism and W. B. Brown, superintendent of the Journalism Press will leave Wednesday evening for Chicago to attend a meeting of the Association of Teachers of Journalism and a conference of the Association of American Schools of Journalism.
The Laws have become the most patriotic students on the Hill. Each wear a small flag this morning. They have to wear 'em to avoid war!
LAWS GET PATRIOTISM FOR FIFTEEN CENTS Tiny Flags Sold by Topckans.
The students in the College and the Engineers could do nothing but produce the money when the young ladies pinned the flags on their coats. The Laws demonstrated and wanted to argue about the inalienable rights of man and the principle laid down by the Supreme Court in the case of Verus Wiggs, but they were unable to sail away with such a line. The ladies sailing with flags refused to listen to them and asked "Oh, be a snort and a blower."
Miss Reita Udpergraff and Mrs. Hal Hazelett of Topeka were on the campus yesterday selling flags at fifteen cents per, for the benefit of the Chancel Chapter of the Grace Cathedral, Topeka.
"Oh, be a sport and buy a flag."
COUNCIL URGES SENATE TO ENDORSE PADDLING
The Disciplinary Committee will make its final recommendation to the University Senate on the paddling question this afternoon. The Senate will then vote on whether to recommendations of the Disciplinary Committee at the meeting today.
Sentiment of Students Presented in Resolution Offered Faculty Today
The Men's Student Council this morning offered the following resolution to the Senate in favor of retaining the paddling custom:
Whereas: The Men's Student Council is elected to voice student opinion, and
Whereas, the question of the abolition of paddling, as the means of enforcing the tradition of wearing freshman caps, has been brought before the University Senate, and
Whereas, a bona fide referendum vote by the students held on March 30 by the Daily Kansan, which election was held in a proper and careful manner resulted in a vote of 84 per cent in favor of a retention of padding as a means of enforcing this tradition, and
Whereas, paddling is conducted in such a manner that no injury has ever resulted, and
Whereas, there is little or no objection to this method of enforcing the tradition, and
Whereas, we believe it to be for the best interests of the student body to retain this custom.
Therefore be it resolved that the Men's Student Council, by a unanimous vote, express itself in favor of the retention of paddling as a means of enforcing the freshman cap tradition.

WHICH IS ONE WAY OF DOING IT
IT IS ONE WAY of DOING IT
Sometimes frysh say funny things.
And that's what I wrote,
written. It was this way. A freshman rhetoric class was droning along in the usual modus operandi when—a bolt from a clear sky—the ringing bell should write a theme on Mrs. Eustace Brown's (now famous) spring drive.
"How would you start?" asked the master of ceremonies. (You understand that all freshman themes must have a start as well as a stop).
Silence. Grawing of nails, Sermening of scalps. Fidgeting of feet. And the iPhone itself ventured naively: "Why, I beeply start as soon as I saw her coming!"
George C. Shad, professor of electrical engineering, has been working for several days testing and inspiring the new Larned light and power plant.
MA CHERE! MARIE!
Bathing suits are all right in their place. And speaking of places for bathing such as how about the Adirondack suit, or the Whistle-bathing suit, unprotected and negligible?
Now, just a moment. Please wait to read the end. It seems that there is a young lady in the University name Marie. That's interesting, now it is. Well, she is a swimmusee. That is she does idioses in the water.
Marie came into class with her—well now we—might as well say right out—she had her bathing suit under her arm—without any covering whatsoever. A naked bathing suit—and most of the class snuckered!
And then some mean, loathsome man swiped the suit during the hour and hid it. When she discovered the Marie stood right up and called out; "Can anybody see my bathing suit?" Right out load too! Yes, she got it.
"TUB" FOOLS THE BROTHERS
"TUB" FOOLS THE BROTHERS
A drinking bout in Kansas since the bone dry law went into effect is decidedly a rare occurrence.
That's why we take the trouble to chronicle this extremely exciting event.
It all began at Brick's Sunday afternoon when "Tub" Hobart ventured to assert that he could mix six auxiliary milk in fourteen minutes. "Small Milk Connell Fenton Baker were willing to risk real money that he couldn't; and furthermore, they agreed to pay for the drinks if "Tub" succeeded in delivering water that portion of his raiment which the latest report) his Sirigma Chi pin
Chet Patterson held stakes, and Frat Chratter hered in a crowd to see the proceedings. The malted milks were wrapped and the keepers got their stop watches ready. Then "Tub", after letting out his belt some six notices—a notch for twelve-ounce glass of milk—to let the stuff downose down his throat.
Three minutes sufficed to empty three glasses. After a rest$^a$ of four minutes, the latter disappeared. At the end of ten minutes, the fifth was out of the road.
The crowd cheered and "Tub" gasped for air, while Baker and other they'd made a mistake after all. Eleven twelve-thirteen minutes later, and still "Tub" gazed fascinated at the single glassful before him.
"It doesn't taste much like malted milk," he volunteered.
"One minute left," said time-keeper Patterson.
"Tub" lifted the glass, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and gulped it down—half a glass—three quarters—the whole thing!
Patterson handed over the money. And now it is humored that Cowgill and Beker won't be able to have a date for three weeks.
"Wish wed' charged the spectators admission," sighs "Snake".

RECRUITING FOR CO. M TO START TOMORROW
Captain Jones Received Orders This Morning to Enlist to Full War Strength
LOOKS FOR NO TROUBLE
News From Washington Accepted Here With Thoughtful Consideration.
Recruiting for Company M of the Kansas National Guards will begin tomorrow morning in Robinson Gymnastium.
NO DIFFICULTY LOOKED FOR
Capt. F. E. Jones received orders this morning from the Headquarters of the Kansas National Guard to detail one non-compromised officer and two privates for recruiting duty. Active service pay will be allowed enlisted men for this detail, and the enlisted men so detailed will remain on further orders or until such time as the organization is recruited to the enlisted strength of 100 men. The men detailed for the team by Captain Jones are Corporal Grimstead, George Montgomery and Roy R. Robbins. The trophy room in the gymnasium will be the recruiting office.
Captain Jones anticipates no difficulty in recruiting the company up to war strength in case it is called into service. The advantage of joining the National Guard, he pointed out, over the volunteer forces are that the National Guard is now well equipped and fully officered. Each officer with Company M knows the officers who will command him and the men with whom he will serve. The men now in the National Guard will stand a better chance of getting a commission than the men in the volunteer forces.
Company M has been reduced by transfers to other organizations, promotions, and removals from the state office. A room in the company for fifty-nine people.
Parts of the National Guard in Colorado, Missouri, and Nebraska have been called for service on the ground to protect Kansas guard has not been called out. The Missouri units have moved under sealed orders and their destination is unknown
THE NEWS RECEIVED HERE
The news that President Wilson last night before a joint session of Congress urged this country to declare a state of war exist between the United States and Germany was that the University with thoughtful opinion.

The University will join with the city of Lawrence in a big patriotic gathering Thursday afternoon and night. The ceremonies in the afternoon will start with a big parade and Chancellor Strong urges every student to be present. In the process the University bant and students and Companies M. H. K take part.
