He expects to enter school next term but is not sure whether he will be out for basketball or not on account of having played three years and taken his degree. He was captain of the basketball team last year.

Snapshot Section Feature
Of This Year's Annua
Camera Squad Gathering Ma
terial—Book to Have No
Long Articles
"Nosey" camera artists of the Jayhawk shawk Shot squad are all over the campus and around the barnacles! In nooks of the buildings the quick lens of the kodak may be watching you; behind a building a "trigger artist" is may be waiting; or maybe he is that innocent looking truck coming up the road! Anyway, the Jayhawk camera squad is out in full force, according to Otto Hopfer, snapshot editor of the Jayhawk. The biggest group of lively snap shots ever offered in a K. U. year book is promised for the "Pace Edition" of the Jayhawk. Thirty pages of snap shots have been apportioned to its four hundred pages.
The Jayhawker selling campaign is continuing in full force and books are selling fast among the men in the barracks, according to the Jayhawker management. "If K. U. men and women appreciate a good annual, there will be a bigger sale for the 1010 Jayhawker for any other previous book," said Fred Rigby, editor in chief of the "Peace Book" this morning. "I attribute a large sale to the many features this book will contain. Chief among these features will be the very original art on the division pages, the tub titles, borders, etc. But the snappy humor, the interesting writecups and our snapshots will contain just as much interest. There will be no lengthy writereps about things every K. U. man and know as well as the Jayhawker staff."
K.U. Wireless Station Again in Active Service
The wireless station of the University has been put back into active use after having been disconnected since the United States entered the war. About a week after the signing of the armistice, Prof. M. E. Rice of the department of physics, received a telegram from the Navy Department giving the University permission to reconnect the wireless antenna, and carry on long distance communication, and carry on long distance communication, with a radio used only about two miles away, as required for instruction purposes for the radio classes of the vocational units that have been trained here by special permission of the Navy Department which has complete control of all air communication.
The station is more powerful and more completely equipped now than it was before it was dismantled. Messages have been picked up from station to station and have been received by relay from stations in the Phillipine Islands.
The Arlington time and press reports are received every night. The time connection with the seismograph is corrected by this time report.

Physical Condition Of Sailors Improved
No Orders Have Been Received Regarding Release or Pay
Fifty men in the naval section were examined for their releases from active duty in Barracks 4 this morning by Lieut. Cope (jr-grade) of the U.S.N.R.F. and two hospital apprentices. The examiners intend to finish their work with the men who took their oath here, and then have a physical condition and have had no diseases since their induction, here were examined first.
or Pay
Victor Bottomly, who was graduated from the School of Law in 1915, spent Sunday with his sister Ruth Bottomly c'19. He was on his way from the infantry officers' training school at Camp Pike, Arkansas, to Harlem, Montana, where he is practicing law.

Zeigler Back in University
Fred M. Zeigler, c '19, and Mrs.
Zeigler, formerly Miss Fern Begholt
c'20, are in Lawrence. Mr. Zeigler
has received his discharge from the
arm. He was an aviation cadet and
had been graduated from Kelley
Field, Texas. Mr. Zeigler intends
to enter the University the second
semester, specializing in geology.
No orders have been received concerning the release of the men and the pay has not arrived. No information on clothing is available. The sailors examined will be kept till further orders are received. The examination was similar to the one given last fall and showed that most of the man had gained weight since their induction.
Only one man signed to remain in the service and go to the Great Lakes Training Station and 71 signed to leave school as soon as released while 183 gobs signed to remain in the University. The majority of the men in the naval section are upperclassmen and that accounts for the large percentage who will stay with K.U.

The Home Economics Club party which was to have been given tonight is indefinitely postponed.
K.U. Lacks Equipment To Introduce Course In Vocational Training
Fate of New Classes Depends on Government's Willingness To Sell Machinery
G. C. Shand, dean of the School of Engineering, said this morning that he was still in no position to say whether or not vocational training could be offered next semester.
"The University has no great amount of money to spend for equipment for this department," he said, "but if the government should send word to us that we could buy the equipment we have now from them at least once a year," he said, that a course in vocational training would be offered next term."
At the present time, the department is ready to take a few special students. As soon as it is definitely determined that there will or will not be vocational work offered here in university, it will be announced at once.
Deen Shan has just returned from a joint meeting of the British Educational Mission and the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education, at Boston School of Technology, and he announces that although nothing constructive was decided upon, in all probability the engineering department will resume its pre-war program as nearly as possible.

Nankwell was at one time cartoonist on Puck. The most valuable of these cartoons are four by Briggs. They are worth not less than $50 each. But these were presented to Mr. Alvine with the artist's compilations and were passed on to the department of journalism.
"Castles of the Loire" Live On Fraser Hall Screen
Jieut. Seymour de Ricci Lectures on Scenic Beauties of France
Visions of old beauty and suggestions of romance, castles and rivers, and France as American soldiers are seeing it now that their bloody business is over, were shown in lantern slides at the lecture of Lieut. Seymour de Ricci, art critic and member of the French mission, yesterday.
The subject of the talk was "Castles of the Loire." The Loire valley to the most fertile land in France, and there the kings and dukes of the lats middle ages built their chateaux for pleasure rather than for defense. The most beautiful castles are near Tours.
The chateau of Blois was the first one shown by Lieutenant de Rieut. It has four distinct types of architecture, for it was built and added to throughout three centuries. A statue of the king mounted now contains nothing of the original statue but the horse's tail. The interior of the castle is vividly decorated with the salamander of Francis I and with crowned and wreathed initials H and C, for the king and queen who held it in the fourteenth century. One slide showed the room in which the Duc de Guise was murdered by order of the king.
The chateau of Chambord, with its four great towers, the craneat of Cheroso, built in the form of a bridge over the river, and the castle of Ambisue, when Leonarda di Vinci was there, were also pictured on the screen.
Plain Tales From the Hill
Speaking of Phi Beta Kepa, said a University woman the other day. I once helped serve a supper or dinner or something in a church, a lodge, or somewhere and there was a whole slue of these Phi Beta Kappa persons about. The air was thick with them; in fact, if I don't misremember the dinner or supper or whatever it was entirely in their honor. Anyway, you knew they were there, a whole lot of them, because you couldn't move without stepping on three or four of them. They had been invited to eat and to to, to. You could have been Beta Kepas do. It was my first attempt at a close up in such a rare-field atmospheres, but it convinced me firmly of one thing. After watching several of that high-brow crowd cume the table hardware and misuse the cutlery entirely, I knew that I'd never be able to qualify for that lodge.
You can knock on the flu, and the way you are being worked, and the lack of speed in the demobilization of the S. A. T. C., but you can't crab about the weather.
Far-seeing student philosophers would not be surprised to see in the near-future, a high board fence defining the campus limits. This would be a great help to fraternity/freshmen who have been campused as a punishment for mid-week dates.
The women who pack their bags each noon, after hearing the latest rumor that the University is to be closed, and then have to settle down to stay here, are rather under the weather from the nerve strain.
When a girl needs a big sister— When K. P. calls off her week-end date.
There are some people who have been so eager to get our of classes that they have sent excuses of illness to their profs and there are others who have worried so about getting the "fuu" that now its hard to distinguish between cases of real illness and those of pure exhaustion from worry and mind-fatigue caused by inventing logical excuses.
Make Phi Beta Kappa and die.
Christmas Red Cross Dollar Subscription Drive On Next Week
Annual Membership Campaign
To Be Held on Hill December
16-23
Still Need Funds Badly
.
If Enough Is Raised, Large Drive in Spring Will Be Unnecessary
one annual Christmas Red Cross membership drive will be held on the Hill next week, December 16 to 23, Prof. U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the University Red Cross Committee, announced this morning. This drive is similar to the one held at this season last year, and every person will be asked to contribute one dollar to renew his membership in the national organization.
Booths will be put up in Fraser Hall, Administration Building, and Marvin Hall, and solicitors will be there at all times Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, to receive the subscriptions. It is hoped that the campaign can be completed here in three days, although the whole week has been given. All persons joining the Red Cross again will receive ten Rec Cross Christmas stamps, a window card, and a button.
"If enough money is raised in this drive," said Professor Mitchell today, "to continue the work among the French refugees and the hundreds of thousands of American soldiers who are still in France, for some months, and it may not be necessary to have another big Red Cross drive. That's what that campaign is just a membership campaign, since there have been so many demands made recently on the students' funds.
"The idea that Red Cross money is not needed so badly at it was while the war was going on in a mistaken one," said Professor Mitchell. "As long as a large part of our forces is kept in France, we are under attack. Our refugees are in great need, Red Cross subscriptions are as imperative as ever."
The student subscriptions will be raised under the direction of Katherine Fulkerson, c19, who has organized a committee of twenty University women to have charge of the booths. Every student in K. U. is expected to contribute one dollar. "I have not been, informed," said Prof. U. G. Mitchell, "just what the quota for K. U. is in this membership campaign, but the exact amount will probably be announced tomorrow." The faculty committee has been appointed, and since time is valuable these last two weeks of the quarter, faculty members and University employees are asked to give their subscriptions to these committees without waiting to be solicited. The committee follows.
Fraser Hall: A. S. Olin, E. F. Engel, J. G. Brandt, Homer Talbot, Miss Lynn, Miss Stanton, Mrs. Esterly, Miss Brown.
