"It will be worth $144 to any freshman who attends an all-fresh meeting Friday. This is for the men only, and Col. Harold Burdick will address the freshmen on the two summer camps to be hold at Camp Funston and at Fortress, Monroe, Virginia," said Harley Scott, president of the freshmen.
"Other speakers," Scott said, "Will be Col. P., F. Walker and Chancellor Frank Strong." Scott is trying to get permission to hold an All-Frish Conference of the Church. If he does not succeed in this he will call the meeting for 4:30 o'clock.
The camp at Funston will be for infantry and subsistence will be furnished there as well as at Fortress Monroe, which will be for artillery. Mileage will be furnished to and from the airport of state of three and one-half cents a mile.

Sankson, eschairman of the committee in charge of the rally.
"Men from all the universities of the Missouri Valley will be there, and if Kansas is not represented she will be missing a good thing and the men from other schools will say, "What's the matter with Kansas?" Colonel Burdick said.
Mayor George L. Kreeck president if the local union, will give a short alk. Light refreshments will be served. The Lawrence Local Union was formed three years ago and now includes many of the young peoples' societies in town.
HOME AGAIN!
They joined, they trained, they fought, they bled, some died, and now they're coming home again.
They had no rendezvous with death; they fought to live—that others, living, might enjoy their lives.
Kansas youths they were, untrained and raw, but with the strength, the will to do, that leaves all barriers behind. No legacy of hate was their inspiration: they won.
They won!
Through rigors of the training camp and danger of the U-boat zone; through terrors of the Argonne fight and chance vicissitudes of war, they come back safe and sound.
Today they're welcome home again; their college town is at their feet. The city, bunting covered, the students cheering madly, all unite to welcome them to Kansas—to their home.
They left the campus for the camps, they left the camps only to serve abroad, now home from foreign duties of a year, they're back for school again.
They learned on Oread's slopes—then drilled there; professors taught them French—the breathed French air; Democracy was then a concept—now a thing of life. Idola have fallen for them and ideals sprung up.
We owe them more than we can say or try to say. They know we're glad and we know they are too. Each student, each professor, each citizen of Lawrence bids them welcome home.
But now they're home again, and safe!
The're home again!
Doughboys Will Attend Sophomore Hop Friday Says Lynn, Manager
Overseas Men Liked Informalit During Raids on Huns and Want Informality
Miss Ackerman Will Dance
Dancing Will Start at 8 o'Clock and party is Officially Over at 1 o'Clock
The men of the Hill companies who were overseas with the 35th Division and who have passed through Lawrence in the last few days on their way to the demobilization camp at Funston stated their intentions of returning to Mount Oread Friday to attend the Soph Hop. Among those who will return are Russ Birch, "Biscuil" Crowder, Packey MacFarland, "Wop" Wyatt, Bill Stewart, Frank Fable, and Fritz Bonebake.
The Quill Club will meet, Thursday, May 8, in Fraser Rest Room at 7 o'clock. The constitution will be read and the meeting over in time for the Glee Club Concert.
This party will be informal. The doughboys with whom K. U. will renew acquaintances are not accustomed to formality, especially in dealing with German men and French demoselles, says Lynn, and will be at home Friday. There will be no taxis, no flowers, and no formality. The midnight chorus of forty K.U. beauties will entertain with a new song, "Cherry Blossom Land," not yet published, "Chone," and "Jazz Baby."
Dancing will start promptly at 8 o'clock and the party will break up at 1 o'clock.
Special Kansan Given Soldiers One thousand copies of a special of the University Daily Kansan were placed in the coaches of the soldier special by the news department of the paper this morning. The special was printed for the men only and no copies were delivered in the city.
Miss Berenice Ackerman will give a barefoot Oriental toe dance during the program.
The Men's Student Council for next year was installed last night. Basil Church was appointed chairman of the social committee. Ernst Kugler and Bill Wells are the other members of the committee.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon And Phi Delta Theta Penalized On Dances
Fraternities Can Give no Mor Dances Except Farewell Party Committee Says
Mid-week Dancers Freed
Freshmen Penalized Two Hours and Flunked for Cheating in English Literature
The Disciplinary Committee gave its report before a meeting of the Senate Tuesday, through which it became known that Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Phi Delta Theta have been penalized for violation of Senate regulations on dances. In each case the fraternities hold a dance which continued before the regulation, 1 o'clock. The Sigma Alpha Epsilon dance was held March 17, and the Phi Delta Theta dance was on February 21.
As a penalty, the committee decided to prohibit each fraternity from holding any dances during the present term, with the exception of its farewell party. This action was taken several weeks ago and the fraternities notified. Tuesday was the monthly meeting of the Senate and the Disciplinary Committee made its report on the two Greek organizations.
The Committee also reported that five of the six students who have been penalized for violation of the Senate ruling prohibiting attendance at mixed dances in Lawrence on February 19, were, on petition to the committee, relieved of the penalty on and after April 25. Their penalty prohibited them from attendance of any dances whatsoever, other than in their own house.

Five Hundred Veterans Paraded On Massachusetts Street Today
K. U. Band Led Overseas Men, Playing "Thirty-fifth Division March," Written for the Occasion by J. C. McCanles, K. U. Director
Men Came On Union Pacific At 6 O'Clock
Companies M, H, F and G of Second Battalion and Sanitary Detachment of Fifty Men Made up the Special Train
Plain Tales From the Hill
With the K. U. Band playing triumphantly the "Thirty-fifth Division March," written especially for the homecoming of the Kansas-Missouri division by J. C. McCanles, five hundred of the veterans of the 137th Infantry, "Lawrence's Own," marched down Massachusetts Street to South Park, where they greeted for the first time in thirteen months, their parents, wives, sweethearts and friends. Company M, K. U.'s former national guard unit, Companies F, G, and H, composing the Second Battalion of the 137th Infantry, with the battalion sanitary detachment of fifty men, made up the train, which arrived in the Union Pacific station at 6 o'clock this morning, slightly ahead of schedule as announced by the city papers. The blast of the University whistle aroused the people, and by the time the Lawrence school bells joined in, all Lawrence was on its way to Massachusetts Street.
"In what library is that book?" ask Oswald, registering interest.
The Dere Mable Association was confronted by a weighty problem today. The members didn't know whether to greet the returning heroes by throwing their arms about them, jumping clear of the ground and shrieking "Oo la la," (a la Paree) or whether to act very college-bred and reserved.
"Read chapter ten in Breese," said the instructor to the class.
"In what library is that book? : ask Loose Ooie,戴贤; register interest. "That's your text-book," said the prof. "Dismissed."
He had seen enough of "sunny France" to know it wasn't that way at all, and had been in the army long enough to size it up to his own satisfaction.
"No six," he declared emphatically,
"if I ever get into the ranks again it will be just to help whip France."
K. U. men kept the National Guardmen busy Wednesday in their efforts to keep the crowd away from the station. Turned back by guards at the bridge, a dqzen boarded the interurban and crossed the river. Three others rented a boat at the landing and rowed over. Both parties were stopped by the cordon thrown around the station in North Lawrence, but they were satisfied at having crossed the river when it wasn't meant to be crossed.
"Did you know?" asked the Sarcastic Stude, "that there aren't any buck privates in the navy? They all come back with stripes."
Professor Flint was reading form letters aloud to his advertising class for criticism.
"My dear Mrs. rBown" he commenced. Just then Mrs. William Brown entered the class room on the floor. He, of which Mr. Brown is manager.
"Good morning," responded Mrs. Brown, somewhat startled.
The class was unable to decide which was the most flustered.
FAMOUS LAST LINES Get back, here they come.
Y. M. and Y. W. Discuss Problems A joint meeting of the cabinets of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. was held Tuesday night in Myers Hall. A joint committee was appointed to decide upon the stand these associations will take concerning problems brought up by "Bad" Elliott last week.
No one but the Chancellor of the University of Kansas, the mayor of Lawrence, and a few 35th men who had received wounds and were sent back from France, were allowed north of the Kaw bridge.
The parade, led by Chancellor Strong, Mayor Kreeck, and W. C. Simons, came across the bridge at 9 o'clock. The officers of the 137th, with previously returned officers, followed. The local Red Cross came next, followed by the second group turned from France in advance of their comrades in the 35th Division.
K. U. BAND LED BY M'CANLES
The band, led by J. C. McCanles,
was followed by the uniformed heroes,
with half packs, rifles, and helmets,
smiling at the huge roar that arose
from the thousands of expectant and
anxious friends awaiting them.
As they swung up Massachusetts the sweethearts, friends and parents ran out into the street and marched in line with their heroes. When they marched around South Park and came back in on the east side and stacked arms, the men did not wait for the command to dismiss, they happily joined them. As they they had had their eyes for the last 15 minutes, or pushed through the crowd, frenciely asking everyone they met where their friends were.
M'CANLESS BLEW MESS CALL
Packs were flung on the ground, and the khaki-clad figures strolled around in pairs, one khaki-clad figure to a pair, until the mess call was blown by Mr. McCanles, when they fell into mess line for the most enjoyable mess since they left Lawrence. The Red Cross of Lawrence had prepared a bounteous spread for the home-coming boys, and they were served with pie, ice cream, two pieces of home-made cake, as many sandwiches as they could carry, apples, coffee and soda pop.
The streets of Lawrence were covered with red, white, and blue bunting and banner's of "Welcome" to the Lawrence heroes.
The band played "The Crimson and the Blue" and the K. U. men joined in the loudest "Rock Chalk" for two years. One tanned doughboy did a dance to the tune that the band played in spite of the fact that he was tightly held by a woman on each side of him.
At 12 o'clock the men assembled fell in, and led by the band playing a livey air, marched back to the station where they entrained for Topeka, where they will parade again today before their final stop for demobilization at Funston.
