WHITE CROSS FUNDS WILL GO TO BELGIANS
Consul at Kansas City Writes That Brand Whitlock Will Direct Distribution
Money that is pledged to the White Cross fund will go for the purchase of food for the Belgians. Expenses in the handling of the money will be stamps and stationery only. The Belgian consul at Kansas City and the Belgian Minister at Washington will handle the funds in this country and Brand Whitlock, the United States Minister to Belgium, will handle the distribution of food to the stricken women and children.
This was the information contained in a letter from G. Mignollet, Belgium consul at Kansas City, Mo., to the American Ambassador of chemistry, received this morning.
Petitions in the hands of the committee this morning had pledges on them in the sum of $1,170.60. These did not include those from the School of Engineering, part of Administration, part of Fraser Hall, and Snow Hall. Members of the Alpha Sigma Chi, honorary chemical fraternity and pledged $53.25 up to an entry bourts morning.
Belgium lies prostrate. Over it swarm hostile troops. The government exists but it has no land to run on, its economy distressed; its people depend for their very lives - upon the mercy of strangers, British, Dutch, Americans.
Belgians are in a state of want and misery. Thousands are dying of pivation. To this desperate pass have come through no fault of theirs.

There will be a monster parade Friday night, says the Review. "Get a shirt tail." Also, "Pep will beat Kansas—get some"
Washburn must win is the battlecry of everything in the southwestern part of Topeka. And if enthusiasm will count, the Jayhawkers will return to Lawrence, Saturday night minus the plumage of their tail feathers, meek and humble in what should as a more before. A big chap rally will be held in Washburn Friday and everything about the impending conflict looms big—even to the Ichabod score that is to be.

SENIORS WORK FOR UNION
Each Graduating Class Contributes
Toward Permanent Fund
A permanent Student Union is a feature at the University for which every man should work. The Student Union fund grows in a small amount of profit made from student activities goes toward the Union.
Seventy-five per cent of the total profits made by the invitation committee of the senior class goes toward this fund; and seventy-five per cent of the cap and gown committee of the senior class is also appropriated for the same purpose. The Student Union fund also receives fifty per cent of the net profits made from the senior play, as well as twenty-five per cent of the profits made in the senior annual. Any reserve in the treasury of the senior class at commencement is also placed in the Student Union treasury. Each graduating class, adds its mite to the fund which is eventually to be used in making the Student Union a lasting feature.

Honors on Oread Saturday

Professor Sterling says a hedge formerly surrounded the ground covered by the east half of the course and traces of the trees can still be seen along the edges of the course. Golf has always been popular at the University and today the Oread course is one of the best in Kansas.

E. F. Engel, of the department of German, in urging students to take foreign languages and develop their will power thereby.
The student who has been exposed to a few foreign language courses is much in the same position as a man who has just been released from prison.

"Tonight's the night!"
With the mid-week date rule suspended, all K. U. will grasp its date by the arm and he dawn town to the picture shows, where, for a dime, it plays, play-play attractions, enjoy the company he hires and help war sufferers in Europe.
By arrangement with the picture theatres of the city, a liberal percentage of the proceeds from toon'the shows will be turned over to the Red Cross fund. Each dime passed through the little round hole in the box office windows tonight will have some share in dressing the
WAR IS H-
wounds of maimed soldiers, in providing for their care during convalescence, and in purchasing food for the wives and children they left be
The students and faculty of the University, always free, open-hearted, and democratic in their liberality, will turn out, nearly two thousand strong, to have a good relationship and in so doing, help the Red Cross.
In anticipation of the event, the theatres of the city will show programs of unusual merit. At the Aurora Max Figman will appear in the six-reel feature, "What's His Name"; the Varsity will stage the "Million Dollar Mystery," with Zalaxdi, the Russian dancer, "Fatty's Sweetheart," a comedy, and "The Other Man." The Grand will show "Dancer," a two real feature, "A Fragment of Ash," and the fifth of the series of "The Beloved Adventurer." with Arthur Johnson.
The Patee will offer a varied program, with a two reel feature, "The Old Line Rider," as the headliner; the other films are: "Murdock Macquerrit," "The Old Bell Ringer," and "Base Ball Fans of Sanville." Surely, with all this entertainment at hand, no University student may complain that he is "all dressed up and no place to go."
As regards the subscriptions to the Red Cross Fund, Prof. W. A. Whitaker is very optimistic. Something over $800 has already been submitted with the picture which the picture show feature will bring in, the amount should be boosted well toward the thousand mark by the end of the week.
