UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MAY ESTABLISH NEW COMPANY Engineering Organization Will be Started if Faculty Sanction Plans Whether or not an Engineering Company as a part of the state militia is to be established at the University of Kansas depends upon what action is taken by the faculty of the School of Engineering at their next meeting. Captain F. E. Jones of Company M received a favorable letter from the War Department at Washington, D. C. this week and officially necessary for the survey of the property presented that it is substituted for the present company and receive approval of the Engineering faculty. If such a company is established at the University of Kansas it will be the first organization of its kind in the United States. It will be the first still composed by university students who are deceived by the engineering faculty of the school. One feature in connection with the new company, which will have to be definitely settled is the date of the spring encampment. If the encampment is held immediately after the spring semester, practically all of the men in the corps will be able and willing to attend. The training thus obtained would mean a great deal towards raising the efficiency of the company. But should the sum be too high, the sum is it doubtful if many of the men would answer the call, because it would necessitate their coming from all sections of Kansas. Likewise it would require them to leave a good job in the middle of the summer to serve at less pay. It is also doubtful if the militia men would have their fare to and from the camp refunded. The major of the Militia Engineering Corps, in his letter, points out many technical disadvantages to be encountered at K. U., but favors a company of engineers at the University. He shows that surveying done by K. U. engineers requires a larger scope than that required by the war department. ROOMMATE WANTED — For a boy. Have front room at 1335 Kentucky.
