VOLUME XIV.
UNIVERSITY MEN WILL BE READY--CHANCELLOR
Students and Faculty are Prepared to do Their Duty If War Is Declared
K. U. MEN ARE PATRIOTIC
Professors Whittaker and Shaad are Members of U. S. Naval Advisory Board
"The University is ready to stand as a unit behind the President in any step he may take in the present German state and said Chancellor Strong morning."
"If war is declared," continued the Chancellor, "the faculty an students of the University will be found ready to do their duty to the United States. The students are just as patriotic and will enlist just as loyally as did the students in World War I. They stand ready to pledge their services in any way they may be required."
An attempt has been made to recruit an engineering company of national guards at the University with the results that very few men respond. This according to, Chancellor Thomas Frost, "the students are not patriotic. The students, he believes, will respond more liberally than any other class of men.
The different departments of the University, in the event of war, would very likely be called upon to help in the correlation of the different industries of the country in order to aid in the production of war material. The department had a high value of the universities in case of war and already has appointed advisory boards made up largely of faculty men of American universities. Prof. W. A. Whittaker of the department of chemistry, and Prof. G. C. Shand of the department of electrical engineering, are members of the Naval Advisory Board.

Plain Tales from the Hill
Warren Was Wopped!
Warren Wattles, for all his dignity as chairman of the junior social committee and promoter of the Junior Dance in the Gym Friday, is an innocent lad. Last Saturday, in company with members of the group he went to Kansas City, where they sold the Sour Owl to the crowds which thronged Convention Hall at the Missouri-Kansas track meet. Warren chose one of the best places in the whole hall to sell the magazines—a just insist one of the main entrances.
Now it is a peculiar fact that the crush is always hardest at a main entrance. Warren soon discovered this. But he pushed his way about, disposing of his Owls and pockets the money received therefor, and beaming inwardly over the amount of lucre he was annexing.
Finally the crowd was all inside, and Warren left his position by the entrance and started to check up his sale. He reached a hand into the pocket where he had kept his change. Said pocket was empty! He thrust into another pocket and a third—and an fourth— They were all emply!
Then the Awful Truth dawned upon Warren. As fast as he had been put money in his pockets, some unknown person had been taking it out.
Yes, you are right, Yylvette. War
had had his nocks nicked.
The Baron Outdone
Nor the least interesting of the many things that happened last week end was the appearance at the High School Basketball Tournament of a boy named Joshua Anderson of Kansas" published by the Owl Society and distributed among the high school students with the end in view of persuading them to come to K. U. The book tells, among other things, how to get through the year on campus, how to get board at $4 a week; and how to spend only $50 a year for clothes.
Come to think of it, Barc Munchen was really rather an honest sort of friend.
"Do you know," exclaimed the Demure Damsel at a week-end dance. "I think a Beta pin looked exactly like a big, black bug!"
People eat too much—Henry Ford People sleep too much—Tom Edison Let us all burn more gasoline and electric light!
"Well," replied her handsome Beta escort as he blushed modestly and sighed, "Some little bug is going to get you someday."
This is a hard world, as the aviator said after he fell on it.
SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC IS NOT SERIOUS--SUNDWALI
Approaching Spring Weather Will Prevent Spread of Disease
MEASLES GIVES TROUBLE
Ennis C. Whitehead is the Latest Patient to be Quarantined
That there is very little danger of a smallpox epidemic in the University at this time of year, is the belief of Dr. John Sundwall of the University Health Service. The approaching spring weather is not at all productive of the disease and will prevent its spread.
tined
Hugo Kohl, c'18, who is quarantined at the Kappa Sigma fraternity house, is progressing nicely, and the case is being handled. Mr. Kohl contracted the disease during a recent visit to his home in Hays, Kansas. Kohl is kept isolated in the Kappa Sigma house so that it is uncontaminated to quarantine the entire chapter.
ACCOUNTED "Although the danger mounts at the present time, every student is urged to go to the hospital for vaccination," said Doctor Sandwall this morning. "When the free service is so easily obtained, students cannot afford to take any risk with such a risk." The students are acclimated at the hospital at any time."
STUDENTS SHOULD BE VACCINATED
The threatened scarlet fever epidemic is confined to three cases, all of which are properly isolated. Any further spread of the disease is looked upon as very improbable by the health authorities.
NOSTER CASE OF MEASLES
Anna K. Bassett, passed Saturday, Ennis C. Whitehead, c'18, who rooms at 1313 Massachusetts Street is the latest case. He is quartered at the isolation hospital where than a dozen students are confined.
"All former precautionary measures still hold good," said Doctor Sandwall this morning. "Too much care cannot be taken by students, as the danger has not passed entirely. The best course is to follow every precaution, with authorities are doing everything possible to keep down all disclosures."
DAILY SCHOOL TOPICS DISCUSSED IN MEETING
AN AMERICAN FLAG IS GIFT TO UNIVERSITY
An American flag has been received by the University of Kansas as a gift from Mrs. Susan M. L. Lorning of Boston, Mass. The flag is made of wool bunting and is of large size, 9 by 18 feet. It will be used on special days such as the day of Fraser Hall and at other times will be draped in Fraser Chapel.
Mrs. Loring is a daughter of Amos A. Lawrence, a leader in the New England Emigrant Aid Society of slavery days, and the man after whom Lawrence was named. In 1863 Mr. Lawrence made a gift of $10,500.00 to Lawrence, which was used in building North College.
The call of spring has already sounded and several boys have repaired and painted their canoes to make the most of the Kaw. All colors prevail at the boat-house from a soft gray to a burning red.
