K. U. Exceeds Quota In Red Cross Drive For Additional Members
Sum of $684 Was Subscribed by Faculty and Students
trar
Other Pledge Funds Suffer
Students and faculty at K.U. again cleared the top when they over-subscribed their quota of $600 in the Red Cross membership drive which ended here last week, U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the finance committee, said today.
If You haven't Paid Up, Pay Up
— Urges Foster, Regis.
The sum of $684 has been turned in to the fund. Professor Mitchell says this amount will be increased somewhat by late subscriptions. The campaign was practically finished and all money except five dollars was truned in by the end of the quarter.
Pledges to other funds have not been paid, according to George O. Foster, registrar, and treasurer of the United War Work fund. Of the $14,000 pledged to the War Work fund, $9,000 has been paid up. There still remains $5,000 to be contributed by the students. This should be turned in as early as possible at the office of the registrar.
Pledges to the student loan fund, made early last fall, are still in arrears. Students have apparently forgotten their pledges to this fund, Mr. Foster said today. Of the $1600 subscribed, only $200 has been turned in
The demobilization of the S./A. T. C. is believed to be one of the chief causes for the non-payment of pledge debts.
"Early in the fall the men were generous with their money," said Mr. Foster. "But when their pay stopped, the payment of pledges stopped. We hope, of course, that these men will do their best to meet our subscriptions. Students who fail to return to the University this quarter are not relieved of obligations assumed early in the school year where payment is at all possible," said Mr. Foster. "The University depends on the promises of its students and expects them to fulfill their obligations."

'Change Shirts, huuh- Impossible Army Order
Because of the poor impression being made on the feminine inhabitants of the campus by the doughboys of Companies E and H, an explanation is demanded in the cause of human justice. The men of these companies appear dishevelled and careworn. Their clothes need cleaning and pressing. They haven't had the pep and snap of the other companies in the last week or so, for their morale is undergoing a heavy strain.
It's simply because the wool uniforms promised them have failed to arrive. More than a week ago when the Liberty trucks backed up to the various barracks and left bales and bales of wearing apparel, the extra clothing of the two companies was collected. Every man contributed one shirt and one pair of trousers in expectation of woolens in a day or so. But the other clothing has never arrived, so E and H have been indulging in an involuntary laundry boycott ever since.
Rumors galore as to woolen suits have been going the rounds in Barracks 6 and 8, but none has arrived yet. Two trucks went to Leavernworth early in the week for the clothing, says one rumor, while another alleges that plenty of blouses are in the quartermaster's storeroom, but the trousers haven't come yet. It's getting colder every day and khaki isn't much protection, they say. And besides, everyone has a desire to knock*cow* cold with a wool unie when he goes home.
The task of demobilizing the S. A.
T. C. at the Emporia State Normal was finished December 10. The school will have most of its S. A. T. C. men in attendance next quarter. The semester schedule will be followed. January 28 closes this quarter at Emporia. The second semester will open February 3.

NOT HER FAULT
Trapping Wild Animals at K.U.
Tappers along the Yukon might take a hint or two from Charls Griffith defends the much abused skunk, at the University of Kansas, who has had singular success in bagging wild game on the University campus for the last three winters.
Chief Engineer of Power Plant Catches
Rabbits for Pie and Skunks for Pelts
The fur industry in Lawrence in its infancy met with opposition from post office authorities, who objected chiefly to the name of the furs sent by parcel post to an eastern house. They have since become neutral.
The fur industry began in a small way.
Mr. Griffith and his family are fond of juicy fried rabbit and Mr. Griffith, seeing small triangular tracks in the snow decided that his chance for a series of rabbit dinners was good, so he baited a trap. A soapbox with an apple under it was prop up on the edge of the rocky bank directly across the road from the Engineering Building.
In the morning, Mr. Griffith found a large rabbit, and the Griffiths dined. The box was baited and the process repeated.
RABBITS START IT
MR. SKUCK GETS HIS
Behind the power plant is a pit where surplus steam is condensed. With some anxiety, Mr. Griffith picked up a form supporting an animal under the box and proceeded to the pit where the skunk, after a few perfunctory struggles in the water, breathed his last. Late that same day his glossy black hide was hung up to dry.
One morning however, Mr. Griffith discovered a skunk in the trap Here was a problem.
MR. SKUNK GETS HIS
That night the trap on the edge of the rocks contained, instead of the usual apple, a slab of rabbit meat—the invitation for more skunks. So the rabbit trapping industry grew to polt gathering. During the season Mr. Griffith trapped one 12 pound skunk and many smaller ones, together with several civet cats and opossums.
"I'll bet that was the first skunk hide that was ever sent through the parcel post out of Lawrence," chucked Mr. Griffith, yesterday as he told of his hunting experience. Mr. Griffith defends the much abused skunk.
Employment Bureau Raps Business Men
POST OFFICE SNIPPS
Mr. Griffith chuckled as he told his first attempt to send a skunk hide to an eastern hide house, through the mail. Post office regulations do not permit the handling of malodorous packages. But, due to the peaceful method used by the skunk's life, meth was free from odor as a rabbit's. The Lawrence post office force however, had to be convinced, and the box containing the hide was opened and everybody gingerly took a sniff, before the package was permitted to go its way.
The boys are being demobilized now. They are driving the "Y" secretary frantic in a vain attempt to locate jobs for next term. What you do, Mr. Business Man, must be done today. Tomorrow they will be gone, carrying with them some opinions of your patriotism that might not be
NO BODY LOVES A SKUNK
"Askun is as bright and as pretty an animal as there is," he said. "Just because of its peculiar method of defense the whole world is against him."
Some who have replied seem to have failed to get the idea. It is not so much, are you obliged to have help, but will you make an opportunity for some deserving boy to remain in school. Many boys are before the door that opens to successful careers. Each day they see that door slowly closing in their faces, when a small matter of fun, to tend, might be necessary to keep up with them. They were willing to fight for your peace and the protection of your property and now its up to you to help them fight for an education and a chance to make good in the armies of industry and commerce.
Dr. Henry Urges Lawrence People to Make Openings For S.A.T.C.Men
The response to the appeal sent out by the Y. M. C. A. employment bureau for situations for S. A. T. C. men who want to remain in the University has not been as generous as was expected. In fact it is so far below what it should be that one might assume the business men have had enough of S. A. T. C. men, and do not care to interest themselves further in their welfare.
When asked if he intended to extend his trapping to other campus animals he smiled and replied:
"There aren't any other animals on the campus except squirrels and—well, I wouldn't harm squirrels; they're different."
pleasing to a thorough-going American citizen. They will express their sentiments when they get home and it might damage 'the University, the city and you personally.'
Make a place for some student help. Call up the "Y" man and tell him about it. The number is 380.

Ruins of Chateau

To look at North College, one would think that one of the ruined chateaux of France had been transported to the University perhaps to give the student soldiers a true-to-life representation of the "shell torn-homes of France." If you're one who has been thinking this, your supposition is a good one, but slightly incorrect. North College stands today only half carried away because no one has been persuaded that the other half of the debris is worth the trouble of carrying it away. The University has no longer any authority over what is to be done with the remains of North College. More than a year ago the building was sold to a contractor by the name of Col. Dale Hilming, who been tearing down the building only when he receives an opportunity to sell some of the old bricks or lumber. For the last six months no one has been found who has any use for any part of hat is left of North College, so it still stands half in ruins reminding passers-by of the vivid descriptions they have read of the homes of France that have been left in just as disreputable condition.
