Entomology 'Grinds'
Chase Outdoor Bugs
How the English and language majors, the economics students, and the overworked laws envy the entomology "grinds" on days like this! It is hard to sit in stuffy buildings, with the monotonous murmur of voices reaching faintly through the haze, while out on the campus, entomology students are running about, and enjoying themselves, chasing bugs that are stuck in tanglefoot. For to pick up a few beetles from the 12,000 different species of beetles in this beetling country, seems less than plea.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 6, 1919.
the onlookers, poor suffering studies, are not far from right, either; for these students are enjoying them. The problem is that they often make important discoveries.
Few people know that the sticky substance put around trees is to protect the foliage from the numerous canker worms hatch, they have no 'this time of year'. When the female canker worms hatch, they have no wings and in the necessary process of drawing and the formation where they emerge form the pupae, they are caught in the "tanglefoot" and soon die.
Each year the entomology professors make a count of the canker worms which are caught in these insects, and for this season has already begun.

as Noted as French Scholar and Soldier—Wounded at Heights of Meuse
Andre Fribourg To Talk To University Students On Youth and The War
Andre Fribourg, French soldier; scholar, and literary artist, will lecture in the gymnasium Friday, February 21 on "The Intellectual French Youth and the War." Monsieur Fribourg is coming here through the Federation of the French Alliance to the United States and Canada, to which the University of Kansas has belonged for several years.
M. Fribruegger worked his way up through almost unsurmountable material difficulties to the seat of professor of history and geography in the venerable College Sainte-Barbe. He was especially interested in the French and American during the Revolution and published learned reviews on this subject.
In August 1914, he joined the 106th French Infantry, and, after fighting in the Battle of the Marne and on the Heights of the Meuse, he was wounded. He later returned to active service and was wounded again, this time during World War I, and retaining just enough sight to distinguish day from night.
His novel "Croire-Histoire d'un Soldat" contains his own experiences in the war. It gives a graphic insight into the experiences of the common soldier during the first terrible months of the war.
Monsieur Friburg is one of the finest speakers the department of French has ever brought to the University. Those who heard the speakers who have come here in previous years anticipate with pleasure the lecture of this professor.
Lieut. H. Fleeson Writes of Treatment in Germany
Has Been in France a Year With 12th Aero Squadron in Active Service
The American soldiers with the army of occupation in Germany are tired of military life, now that the war is over, and are ready to return to the good old U.S.A., according to a letter from Lieut. Howard Fiessen, a former K.U. student who is with the 12th Aero Squadron. Lieutenant Flélesson said the troops in the conquered territory are well treated by most of the Germans, although oftentimes the children resent the coming of the Allies and throw rocks and mud at them as they are passing.
He told of walking through the streets of a village near the Rhine with an American captain, when a younger picked up a handful of mud and threw it in the captain's face. He also mentioned the fact that German soldiers or policemen were reluctant about saluting the officers of the advancing army, but that the Americans generally forced the Huns to salute, whether they wanted to or not.
Lieutenant Fleeson has been in France about a year, and has served as an aerial observer at the front most of that time. He has twice been decorated for bravery in action, the first time receiving the Distinguished Service Cross and the second time a Bronze Star. He has been cited three times in despatches. Lieutenant Fleeson was in school in 1916-17 and "was junior prom manager in the latter year. He is a member of Pi Uapilon.
Honorary Journalism Fraternity Initiates

Student Baseball Also to Be Encouraged by Returning Secretary
"Dutch" Wedell Back From Army Hospital To Resume Work in V
Corp. Hugo "Dutch" Wedel, secretary of the University Y, M. C. A. returned to Lawrence today, having received his discharge from the medical corps last Thursday. Since the armistice was signed, his unit has been stationed at Debarkation Hospital No 51, at Hampton Rivers, Va., where wounded men were received from transports and taken care of by the hospital's medical staff of the voyage. Men from all organizations and branches of service wounded in almost every way were given attention at this hospital.
"It was great and interesting work,
but terrible nerve nunchuck," said
"The spirit of the men was won-
werful. Most of the men said they
were glad to be alive. I didn't meet
any men from the University, but
quite a number of Kansas men who
were with the Rainbow Division.
"I have come home to stay and am going to resume my work with the Y. M. C. A. and take change of freshman baseball. Baseball is in bad shape because of the poor spirit and attitude taken by the schools."
Foreign Missionaries Will Address Students
Informal Meeting Will be Held In Myers Hall Friday
The Student Volunteers will have three speakers, well known in the missionary world, at their meetings at Myers Hall Friday. The Rev. D. O. Cunningham of Harda, India, and the Rev. Herbert Smith of Bolenga, Africa, will tell of their work as missionaries in these countries. Miss Daisy June Troun of Indianapolis, a member of the National Christian Woman's Board of Missions will be present.
All students interested in the missions will meet with these persons at Doctor Braden's home in Myers Hall at 6 o'clock Friday night. This meeting will be informal and will last an hour. They will then adjourn to the Methodist Church to meet with the Christian Endeavor Union which is having a dinner that evening. The formal speeches will be given there.
Mr. Cunningham has a flourishing church of 700 members in Harda, India. He was graduated in a class from Harvard, Irmada, from Hiram College, Colgate, Ohio.

Civil Engineers to Meet
Civil Engineers 18 Meet
The civil engineers will hold a mixer in the lecture room in Marvin Hall on Thursday, February 6, at 7:30 p.m. The meeting will be feautred by boxing matches, speeches and "eats." All men interested in Civil-engineering have been invited.
Dignity has discarded its stately robes for now KU's staid and sober faculty is thinking Jazzweller. At least Freed Ricky, manager of third annual Journalism Jazz to be given March 7 in Robinson Gymnastium, says that a dean of one of the departments called him aside Tuesday night and confidently requested the activation of the word "Jazz."
Now for the meaning of Jazz: when Haley stretches out at the piano, hibbers his stubby fingers, nods to Baviny at the violin and likewise gives the signal to the trumpets and saxophone artist, it's pretty sure sign that "Jazzy" music is about to pervaded the ballroom circle.
So the Journalism "Jazz" accordingly explains itself. Four Jazzy music makers directed by Haley will be the feature of the evening, but this does not mean that clever programs and original stunts will be lacking. The management is pointless, but the musicians its parties in the past, and is finally resolved that the Journalism Jazz will be still better this year.
Tickets for the party will be on sale tomorrow morning by Lewis Duff in the School of Law, Harold Hall and Luthor Hanger in the journal Building in the School of Engineering and Fred Eigly in the College.
Plain Tales From the Hill
THIS IS THE TRUTH
Notice: The Woman's. Student Council wishes to thank the man of the University for their active support in helping them see that the date rule is observed. 'Pants' Murphy especially is a great help to them. He reported a mid-week date last week. 'Pants' is a great help to the student council because he is out every night himself and gets to see all the rest of them.
One medic certainly pulled a bone the other day. The instructor left his class-book on the desk when he went out of the room, so the said medic thought he would see how he stood in the course. The only thing he saw was a cross against his name, which he decided was to show his incomplete work so he erased it—oh, so really.
The next day to his dismay he learned that the cross was merely to show that he had paid his laboratory fee.
This cold weather, when the thermometer drops with a thud, some of the men who have just put on 'cits' yearn for their good old puttees. Our astronomy professor, however, isn't bothered by cool ankles. He wears his puts' under his trousers and no one knows the difference. How do we know? Oh, the wind blew hard yesterday.
REPORTS FROM STAR-GAZERS
The recreational dances after the basketball games are the star's delight. A few of the men from the suburban fraternity even had the serve to stag at the Chi Omega dance Friday night.
HURRAH! FOR UNCLE JIMMY
The dance managers say that there will be no graft in the big parties this year. 'There won't be much of anything at $1.50 per couple. You ought to hear what Uncle Jimmy has to say about it.
"While they are making all these rules why don't they regulate the price of women's hats to $1.50 and men's suits to $12.50? I think, too, it would be a good thing if all men were compelled to be in bed at 9:30 every evening. And above everything men shouldn't be allowed to smoke anything but two for fives. There are several things left that haven't yet been regulated by the Senate.
Did you know there existed such a thing in K. U, as a frush who would make a formal application for memorial to a Greek letter society? One did it himself, and pledged last week but not to the one he petitioned for membership.
IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED
Freshman: What is the matter with Nadine Blair? She hardly speaks to me any more.
Senior: Oh, don't mind her. The manager of the show Monday night told her she looked like Margaret and she was the expecter to be the same after that.

Freshmen Women Lose To Sophs and Juniors Defeat Senior Quintet

Allen Star for Class 1920
Second Round of Woman's Interclass Tournament Will Be Friday Night
The juniors defeated the seniors 19 to 14 and the sophomores won from the freshmen 16 to 7, in first round of the women's interclass basketball tournament in Robinson Gymnasium Wednesday night.
The junior-senior game was a fast one from start to finish. The short, low passes of the seniors proved an effective check on the ability of the juniors to find the basket. The team work between the senior forwards, Parkinson and Dodderidge, and the centers, Babcock and Castle, formed a tight line. Ruth Bottomly, as guard on the junior-town play, an unusually good game and Earline Starled at forward, shooting seven goals. The game was exceptionally clean and no personal fouls were called.
The sophomores with superior team work outplayed the freshmen. The freshman forwards who are new at the game this year were unable to hit the basket, but the centers, Harkrader and Cretcher, played an unusually good game for first-year players. Light as freshman guard, played a good defensive game. Wasson Barnett, sophomore forward, a combine player, shoved up on defense, are up to their old standard. Shakele, sophomore guard, a new member on the team this year, made a good showing.
The second round of the tournament will be played Friday night at 7 o'clock in the gym, when the sophomores meet the seniors and the freshmen play the juniors.

Y.W. To Send Delegates To National Conference
Either Moore, c19, and Lillian Cottrell, c18, will be the delegates from K.U. to the National Faculty and Student Conference of the Y. W. C. A. at the Northshore Hotel, Evanston, Illinois, February 20 to 24. The purpose of this convention is to bring before the representatives of the universities a new challenge for co-operation in reconstruction work.
Miss Katherine Duffield, University Y. W. C. A. secretary, will attend the conference. Miss Duffield has been in New York the last three weeks working with other secretaries on the plan for this conference.
The School of engineering will not hold any regular enrollment day in March, as the quarter system is not being used in that school. "The engineers will, however, get the same lengthed vacation as the other schools," said Dean G. C. Shaad.
