IT'S NOT THE S. A. T. C.
No enlistments.
Variety of Work.
No barracks life.
Sufficient equipment.
Chance to specialize.
Competent instructors.
Theory as well as drill
These are only a few of the differences between the Reserve Officer Training Corps, being established at K. U, this year, and the S.A.T.C., whose inefficiencies and inadequacies are known to most University men. In spite of the superior training offered by the R.O.T.C., the enrollment has been smaller than expected because many students fail to realize that it is an entirely different organization from that militized K. U. last year.
The principal difference is that the student does not enlist, but enrolls. The arrangement is practically the same as with any other class work; he may withdraw at the end of the first year. Interesting work with the equipment furnished by the War Department is promised, and after the preliminaries have been mastered during the first year, the student may specialize in artillery, infantry, engineering, or signal work, with a reserve commission at the end of four years.
War conditions have passed, so there is no longer a need for the strict discipline necessary in training soldiers. But the War Department desires officers for case of emergency, and in order to have them ready, desires as many students of military science as possible. None of the drudgery of camp life is connected with the R.O.T.C.; in fact present plans are to have only one period of actual drill each week, the other two being devoted to lectures and similar work.
Colonel Burdick and Captain Brown are both competent men with valuable military experience behind them. Enrollment in the corps has not yet closed, and it would be well for men who have not yet investigated the work to call on the two officers in charge.
TWO SETS OF FROSH
The freshman class, as usual, comprises a large part of the enrollment this year. It is even larger than last year, when the lure of the S.A.T.C. brought men here who had never planned on going to college. This year armies are being demobilized instead of going formed, and the man-power of the nation is returning to school.
Many a Kansas youth went into the army two years ago on graduating from high school. The commencement days of 1918 occurred in the midst of recruiting drives, and hundreds of men joined up for "duration." Others, too young to get into the actual service, preferred the high wages workers in war industries received to college life. So they didn't come to school either.
But now war industries are a thing of the past, and the warriors are nearly all back in cits. So the deferred plans of coming to K. U. have been revised, and men of the high school classes of 1918 as well as of 1919 are on the hill as first year students.
To the men who didn't go to school last year, K.U. extends a special welcome. University life will become broader through the experiences they have had in France, in barracks at home, and in the industrial side of war. They are maturer men who have seen more of life than the usual first year student. K.U. is glad they're'ven
CAMPUS REUNIONS
Bill Goofus and Sim Slickum buy their tickets from the same ticket-agent when they come to school. Or maybe they wear the same combination of Greek letters, or are at the mercy of the same prof. Anyway, they find they have something to talk about when they encounter each other on the campus, between classes. So Bill steps out into the center of the walk, stops Sim, and grape him sturdily by the hand.
They halt, they converse, and the crowd flows around. If it's a rainy day, the crowd hesitates to leave the sidewalk, and the result is a jam in between-classes traffic. The foisting and shoving of the mob doesn't interfere with the debate. The two stand still and go into elaborate details. Finally the reunion adjourns, allowing Bill and Sim to continue up the campus till each runs into two girls holding an informal reception just where the crowds flow thickest a few feet away.
The superintendent of buildings anna grounds a few years ago added a foot-wide fringe of concrete to the campus side-walks when it was found the traffic was too heavy for the narrowgauge tracks. Now, to keep up with the needs of the hill side-walks, a series of switch-lines or side-tracks at twenty-foot intervals should be installed. Maybe Bill and Sim with their feminine counter parts would find it more convenient to dead-head onto a siding than to buck traffic on the main line.
"WHERE'S THE GYM?"
The newcoming student, confused by the winding campus street, has appreciated the small signs with the pointed finger: "This way to register." He has been enabled to find the gymnasium, but the other campus buildings are only indistinctly known to him.
He has been told a time or two that the building with the clock is Blake Hall and that the forty-chimney structure is the home of chemistry students. Yet this is not sufficient to enable him to learn all the names of the halls of learning. The many buildings are as uncertain to the new student as are the names and faces of the many students he has been meeting.
It would be a convenience to such men and women if the signs which are placed in front of all the buildings commencement week each year, were put there for the first two weeks of school. The freshman would not have to rely on asking questions, for the sign boards tell the name of the building and the subjects taught inside. It's a little thing, but it would be most nandy for new students.
Action on the memorial for University man and women who gave their lives in the war has not yet materialized. No decision has ever been reached by the committee of Senate members and students appointed last year by the Chancellor to investigate the matter.
THE MEMORIAL—WHEN?
The students realize the selection of an appropriate memorial is a difficult matter to decide and requires a great deal of study and investigation. But no one believes is really necessary to spend three-fourths of a year deliberating the matter. A little elitimate discussion of the various projects by the joint committee would
solve the problem. Or a referendum among the students would be a practical means of reaching a decision.
A meeting of the committee should be called at the earliest possible time and action of some sort taken. When the memorials of most schools are already finished or well under way, Kansas should at least have decided on what its memorial is to be.
FACTS ABOUT AMERICA FOR A. E. F. TOURISTS
Names for American cities and States have been chosen only after much deliberation. Buffalo, N. Y., is so called because of the scarcity of buffalo there; Indiana on account of its lack of Indians; Los Angeles, is famed because of its paucity of angels, and so on.
If you ever become homesick for a French "Express" train, try a New York surface car.
Contrary to general opinion there are other industries in the U. S. besides the canning and exporting of salmon. The chief of these is the canning and exporting of cured beef. American policemen are not French but Irish.
