DUTCH WEDELL PRESENTS CAMPAIGN
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 12, 1910.
The University Service Building and Stadium Campaign was started off with a bang by "Dutch" Wedell this morning at an all University convocation in Robinson Gymnasium at 11:30 o'clock. This same assembly two thousand students rose in hushed respect for Lloyd Richmond while the Distinguished Service Cross was pinned on him by Captain Myers stationed at Kansas City.
Chancellor Strong presided, and requested all University men who have received or are about to receive the Chancellor's technical service to take the platform. The stage was occupied by the Chancellor, Judge J. C. Ruppenthal, Hugo "Dute" Wodell, Captain Myers of Kansas City, Missouri, students who were cited for bravery.
The convocation opened with the "War March from Athalia" by Mendelssohn played by the University Orchestra. The Men's Glee Club and the Women's Glee Club each sang two selections, Judge J.C. Ruppenthal spoke on "Loyalty, Why and How" and Robert Albach explained the work of the county clubs and their part in the present campaign.
SERVED INJURED MEN UNDER FIRE
"Lloyd强军, Army Serial No. 1472600, private, medical department,
Ambulance company No. 189. For extraordinary heroism in action at Chaudron farm, France, Sept. 29, 1918. After the infantry had been withdrawn, he voluntarily remained in an advance dressing station with wounded men whose condition made it impossible to remain in bed. Carrying for these men under heavy machine gun fire until he himself was wounded by a bursting shell which was killed two of his patients."
After an orchestra number, Chancellor Strong introduced Captain Myers who presented the Distinguished Service Cross to Lloyd Richmond, while the audience stood. Department department citation read as follows:
After the reading of this citation Captain Myers pinned the coveted cross on the coat of McDulachman, and showed signs of modest embarrassment.
"LOYALTY" NO NEW THING
Judge Ruppenthall was next introduced by the Chancellor.
"After this impressive demonstration it is useless for me to discuss in detail the subject of loyalty," said the judge.
"When I was a student here, these kind of meetings were held over in Fraser Hall, but the spirit of loyalty has not changed since then. I speak as an alumnus--others will speak as students and professors."
"We, as alumni should be loyal, and you as students must be the same. We have come from the prairies of Kansas and the cities and from many different walks of life. You are professional men and mechanics. You have already defined it or not, our thoughts go farther developed love for the University of Kansas. These are the things that make for loyalty in our hearts.
"LOYALTY SHOULD MEAN ACTION." "When we consider the matter of loyalty," he continued, "whether we define it r, our thoughts farther when we express it in direct action, Loyalty is what we do. Lyalty is vain, but loyalty in action and force is what the University is concerned in.
"We, as Americans," he remarked,
"probably do more thinking in one hour than any other people on the face of Earth." He then promised to prince it to quit with our thoughts and without translating them into action.
One purpose of your coming here is to get the power that will translate your purposes into something tangible.
"Our fault lies in the fact that we can more easily repeat a narrative of another action that commit an action of our own. We<sub>e</sub>, as alumni, and you as students have the chance, and it is our duty, as we go out into the world, to stand up for the University and make our loyalty a definite action."
"We should not stop with urging interest of all high school students, but we have the additional duty of refusing unjust and unfair assistance to children whose chance of connecting up again the men and women who have in time
past been students in this University.
When you go to your home this Thankgiving vacation it is most es-
sential to you. It helps the hope and aims of this University.
"Moreover you should size this opportunity to give a fitting memorial for those who gave their lives that this nation might live."
The Men's Glee Club sang two selections: Old K. U. U. Song, composed by Prof. F. E. Kendrie and the Winter Song by Bulland.
After the Men's Glee Club sang, Chanceller Strong announced that Howard Fleeson, P21, and Eugene Ferguson, c'22, had been cited for brevity in France. The audience rose to two platforms, two as they stood on the platform.
TURN "LIP SERVICE" TO ACTION
"The 'Putting K. U. First' stuff in getting to be a regular joke," said Robert Albach, member of the Student Council. "The Loyalty Committee has been working in which this 'lip service' can be put into action. First, we are asking one person from each county to be responsible for the calling of a meeting of students from that county; and second, we are putting for the million-dollar campaign."
He explained there are three rea- sons for organizing the county clubs. First, to get alumni back in touch with the University.
Secondly, to get the high school seniors into the idea of coming to the University of Kansas. Thirdly, to get the people of Kansas out of the notion that the University is for dances and frivolity.

LAPIN. A liberal law
laboratory that the average high school senior is more serious-minded than the average University student, but he went on to urge that stress be laid on him in things the University is doing.
"Let them tell about it when one of our students receives a Rhodes Scholarship, or one of our professors of valued prize in a foreign country."
Belts were growing looser and the audience a little restless when Hugo "Dutch" Weilell was introduced, but the words weaught could the student's ears.
"The students who are here now are the real stickers—the ones who will put this big thing across," said Mr. Wedell, and he went on to describe the project for the erection of a Stadium and University Service Building as a memorial to K. U. men in the war.
COUNTY CLUBS URGED TO ORGANIZE AT ONCE
"We've bit off a bite—a million dollar drive. The committee went to the edge and jumped off. Now we must sink or swim. We must avoid divisions in this institution. We must set to work.
"We'll take both memorial projects and put them over.
"The project is a big one and will appeal to big men." continued Wedell. "I think he's been praised, backed by a united spirit at K. U., we can really put this across.
Only one minor case of sickness was reported by the University Hospital. Tuesday morning, Up-to-date there has not been a single case of "din", and Doctor Seamus said that the sickness break out during the rest of the year.
"Here is a definite task for the students, the faculty members and alumni—no more lip talk, but a real opportunity for service."

Carbon No. 2, Dec 8: Seven car load of coal was the output of K.U.'s first detachment today. Twenty cars or 1000 tons is the output to date. From daylight to dark is the working day of the student miners. More rain, wind and snow mud of the day and up to the knees mud is a common occurrence.

Specimens of Coke Glitter Like Gold
Coal evidently is not only quantitatively scaree but qualitatively "pretty" according to a letter in the department of geology, from a western Kansas woman. The specimens have in them glittering specks that look like gold, but Prof. Frank L. Fleer, of the geological department, says they are just plain coke, produced by burning the coal in the absence of a draft.

FLONZALEY'S PLEASE
Large Audience Hears String Quartet in Classical Program In Robinson Gymnasium
An audience of sixteen hundred in Robinson Gymnasium last night which heard the Flonzaleh concert was completely won over by the womens' performance, and the beginning of the first number. The second number the Andante Fumebre by Tachikowsky, was undoubtedly the climax of the concert, and it has been the last several minutes after its rendition. The artists were continuously applauded between numbers throughout the concert which clearly showed the reception given for this kind of masteries as the Flonzaleh Quartet.
Their playing throughout showed the result of long years of work together, playing for three years only at the Floncalylla villa, Mr. Coppe's Switzerland residence, before attenting extended concert work.
The next regular number on the Course after Sousa's Band will be by Percy Grainger, January 13.

FUEL ADMINISTRATOR RESIGNS POSITION
Settlement of Coal Strike on Wilson's Terms Unsatisfactory To Garfield
Washington, Dec. 12—President Wilson will accept the resignation of Foil Administrator Garfield immediate. The announcement is announced at the White House today.
Garfield's letter asking that he be relieved of his duties was forwarded to the President by Secretary Tumulty this morning. Garfield's resignation followed settlement of the coal strike on the basis of President Wilson's proposal which was that the miners should have a 14 per cent increase and a commission would be appointed to study the whole mining situation and make further changes in the proposed suggestion. When this proposition was suggested to the miners, Garfield said it was unsatisfactory to him. He wanted the strike settled on a basis of a 14 percent increase only.
The authority of Fuel Administrator Garfield will be exercised by Rail Director Hines and his regional directors, it was announced. The tone of Garfield's letter to the President was said to be friendly. It was said he held an absolutely unyielding attitude towards the miners.
Laws Hear Professor Explain K. U. First Idea
Jurisprudence club of the law school met Wednesday evening at the Sigma Nu house.
The principal topic discussed by the club was "How to Put K. U. First." Professors Humble and Goldsmith gave talks. Some of the ways in which K. U. is not first were brought out during the discussion. The spirit of the course was poor according to Professor Humble. The feeling of superiority among the students toward the students at the other institutions is too self-evident. All an all too apparent example of this feeling of superiority was displayed by the K. K. Klnn at the Thanksgiving game in the formation which was shortly proven to be untrue, asserted Prof. Humble. "The need for pavement on the drives through the campus is also very apparent to every student, and the students spend as much time complaining about our roads as they do about their heartless instructors, there would be paving problems and a lack of building before next fall," concluded the professor.
Millenium Not to Come Next Week Says Connor
Another authority has given out the information that the world will not come to an end on December 17, as to be by Porta, the French astronomer.
P. Connor, weather observer in Kansas City, Mo., in an interview in the Kansas City Star Wednesday said "No astronomer of real standing is giving the prediction serious attention. Men of science deny that other members of the solar system could so affect our atmosphere.
The theory on which the Frenchman bases his forecast is the existence of magnetic disturbances caused by other planets upon the earth and sun.
Mr. Connison continued "If this were true, astronomers, who know the exact positions of the planets in this universe, could fordell by hundreds of years the arrival of storms, tornadoes and other disturbances. This talk about the world ending December 1 is, of course, the sheerest folly."

Temporary Meeting Transfers Powers of Appointing Executives to Loyalty Committee
To Start Immediate Action

Next Move is to Arouse Enthusiasm of Outsiders, Says Judge Ruppenthal

This reconsideration was placed before the meeting by Prof. W. J. Baumgartner, and action was taken by adoption of a resolution.
Another resolution was passed, asking the Loyalty Committee to see to it that an executive committee is selected without delay; this committee is to consist of four or six students selected by the student members on the Loyalty Committee, four or six faculty members appointed by the Chancellor, and four or six alumunii in the Alumni Association; the three groups above mentioned to have equal representation.
Judge J. C. Ruppenthal, LL.B'95,
now a member of the K. U. faculty,
spoke for the alumni.
"I like the spirit displayed by the members here assembled. It shows the student pen, but we have the'enemies in our business that arouse the enthusiasm of these outside the University by making them feel that the goal we are mining for is a good one. This applies in parallels to students who are looking forward to college."
