UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
INSTRUCTORS WILL GO TO OUTSIDE STUDENTS
NUMBER 82.
Extension Division Will Send Professors to Classes of Six or More
"THE STATE IS ITS CAMPUS"
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS MONDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 26. 1914
The new plan of supplementing the correspondence work with weekly visits of some instructor is part of the general state service idea of the Board of Administration to carry the University of Kansas, with all its varied activities to the doors of the citizens of the state. Each student will be charged 15 tuition, the same amount of expenses the visiting proctors will be borne by the University.
If six University of Kansas correspondence students get together in any town in the state the University will undertake to send an instructor once a week to this town to meet this class.
Slogan of Extension Division is Carried Out By Service Offered Correspondence Students
This is carrying the University work directly to the people of the state. It is making good on the extension's slogan, "The State Campus."
sity.
Prof. D. C. Croissant, who is in charge of the Extension Division,
said this morning:
"I believe that the visiting idea should be a great help to correspondence students. We have cases where the lack of a teacher causes students to drop off after completing part of a course. With a professor meeting with the class of six or more weekly, the student would undoubtedly get more of an inspiration to work faithfully and intelligently."

READY TO RENT A HOUSE FOR UNION
Committee Has Plans Completed to Take Over Building For New Organization
"Plans for a Student Union are nearly ready," said Webster Holloway of the Student Union committee today. "We have a house practically rented and expect to be able to participate in an active campaign in about n week.
"We believe that all the students are with us now, and are ready to support the present movement. I see no reason why we cannot make students do what we need. Students do not freeze up when it comes to the small membership fee.
"The much abused Student Council would have a place they could call home. At the present time, it's members do not know whether they are to meet in the basement or are to roost in the attic with the other officers of the students' Union would give a place to start rallies, to take care of visiting athletic teams, to hold smokers and to be 'aget-tochter' place in general."
CHAPEL SUGGESTIONS
STILL COME TO KANSAN
"Closethe Library" says one Enthusiast—Are Crowds Really Necessary?
Although the Daily Kansan's inquiry into the cause of non-attendance at chapel closed a week ago, scattering replies still come to the office.
The latest suggestions for increased attendance are: "close the library during chapel," "reinstate announcements," "give the students more chapel hours," "more talks by government and science authorities," "fewer general talks on K. U. student privileges."
The majority of the students continue to favor a return to the ten o'clock hour, while more professors would continue the services at eleven.
One communicant questions whether numbers at chapel are an advantage. "Put chapel at a convenient hour, make it a simple and appropriate service, and leave the course optional," is the advice offered.

FLUNKS AND CONS
REMOVED BY MAIL
Poor Standing May Be Made up by Correspondence— Engineers Excepted
except in the School of Engineering, conditions and flunks may be made up by passing correspondence courses in the subject in which the condition was obtained. Courses are given by University professors and are of the same grade as residence work.
The answers are corrected and graded by the professor giving the course and returned to the student. Each hour of credit is represented by eight assignments, that is a five-hour course has forty assignments, a three hour course twenty-tour assignments. An examination follows at the end. The student may work just as fast as he is able. One half credits toward a college degree may be taken the same way.
The courses consist of assignments which contain instructions in regard to the work, text book assignments, and questions to be answered.
One may carry two courses at any one time providing he can keep up the work. The fee is $10 for the calendar year.
No correspondence study work may be carried on by a student attending any institution of learning.
WANT TO EARN $1200
A YEAR OVER IN SYRIA?
Two Teachers of English Wanted In Far East School
Two positions paying about $1,200 per year, with room, laundry, and board free, are open to the students of the University of Kansas. Prof. Arthur Mitchell recently received a letter from Prof. Alfred Ey Day, a professor of natural sciences at the Syrian Protestant College of Beirut, Syria, in which he asked Professor Mitchell to canvass the university for two students to fill the positions now vacant in the Beirut faculty.
The positions are both three-year engagements, one to teach English to boys from 10 to 18 years old in the Preparatory School, and also perhaps a class or two in English in the College proper. No knowledge of the native language is required. The other position is that of assistant to Professor Day, and involves classes in Zoology and Botany. If the student has studied from an agricultural standpoint so much the better.
While the appointments are in a denominational school, they would not require any more of a professor than is required in any school in the United States. Professors like Monte Carter can get into communication with the proper persons by seeing Professor Mitchell.

"Dime Day," Wednesday to Make Class Even with World
Wednesday will be Sophe Dime Day. That is, the Sophomore Finance Committee, reinforced by mouth students to make a thorough research, will improve each sophomore to the extent of ten cents. Why?

Also, the class management desires two pages in the annual this year, so that in addition to the picture of the class officers, the committee will be able to work of the committees merits some permanent record.
Those who will collect the money, and the plan of action, will be published in tomorrow's Daily Kansas. Every sophomore is urged to gain possession of due dues to damage the good of the cause. Then the sophomore class may look the whole world in the face, for it will owe not any man.

SMALLPOX SITUATION NOW AT STANDSTILL
No New Cases Reported Since Saturday—Danger Probably Over
VACCINE EFFECTS IN 3 DAYS
"After Vaccination Students Should Refrain From Doing Anything to Break Scab"—Naismith
Students may be vaccinated by Dr. Jas. B. Naismith or Dr. Margaret L. Johnson in Robinson Gymnasium, by Dr. S. A. Mathews in Snow Hall, and by Dr. S. T. Gillipie at the corner of Warren and Vertecotes. Treatment will be continued only a few days, and students are urged to be vaccinated immediately.
The smallpox situation is at a standstill and no new cases have been reported since Saturday. There are five patients under quarantine, two university students and three pupils in the Lawrence graded schools.
"There are no new developments today," said Dr. S. T. Gillispie, county physician, "I do not think the danger is entirely in my care and I have more cases. Many people have been exposed to the disease. My advice to University students who have not been vaccinated is to do so at once. If any student takes sick, he should confine himself immediately and call a physician."
Dr. James Naismith said that the effect of the vaccine should be felt in from three to seven days and advised all effected to refrain from any kind of rough work that might break the seab on the arm.
In all 250 students have been vaccinated: 120 by Dr. Naismith, eighty by Dr. Gillispie, thirty by Dr. Matthws, and twenty by Dr. Johnson.
A little girl at 1645 Massachusetts has chickenpox but she has been quarantined for smallpox to avoid danger.
It was rumored that the Kappa Sigma house was under quarantine but such is not the case. The members of the fraternity were advised, however, in order to avoid any possible danger of spreading the disease.
PROFESSOR WILCOX
EXPLAINS COURSES
Says Greek Sculpture Will Include Study of Modern as Well as Ancient Work
Prof. A. M. Wilcox announced Friday that the course in Greek Sculpture given the second term, includes, for purposes of comparison, all later sculpture also, so that the result of a modern sculpture is one of all the best sculpture of the world, both ancient and modern, including even American sculpture.
Those students also who wish to get a knowledge of Greek mythology are advised by Professor Wilcox that the best way to do so is to take the course in Greek Drama given next semester and the one in Greek poetry given the first semester. In both courses English translations are used, and no knowledge of the Greek language is required.
