UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Each Man Will Receive Wool Uniform and Outfit When Finally Discharged
Demobilization Will Begin Immediately on Arrival of Plarks
Blanks
Demobilization of the Students Army Training Corps at the University is being held up because all of the blanks necessary for the discharges have not been received. The Commission on Education at Washington has ordered that the work of demobilizing the corps should begin at once on receipt of the blanks.
It has also been ordered that each man be given a wool uniform and complete outfit which he may keep for four months after discharge. It is thought that the blanks may be held up perhaps until wool suits are available. The outfit to be issued the men will include socks, underclothes, shoes and overcoat. The soldiers will be given frank blanks which they must return at the end of four months with the outfit that was issued them.
The plan as previously announced that Section B will be demobilized first will be carried out. It is expected that Section A men will be mustered out by companies. Which company will be discharged. Which company will be demobilized. Demobilization is carried out under Lientk, Ralph E.Carter, computer adutant, and Lient. pared for the work in the district inspector's school at Kansas City last week.
The first part of the process as explained by the officers will be to fill out the papers incident to discharge. After this the men will check in all government property, including all clothes except the outfit they will be allowed to retain, and any equipment they may have.
Physical examinations will follow checking in. The examinations will be essentially the same as those given when students entered the unit, and are necessary so that the government will be safeguarded from applications for pensions later. The medical corps here will give the examination under the direction of Judge Judson Allen and the defence counselants from Camp and associated with medical work here. There are six enlisted men in the medical corps.
Men will be paid after their physical examinations are finished. The pay will include any back pay and the amount due the soldiers to the last day of his service. The last operation in the process will be the issuing of final discharge papers.

Why have the S. A. T. C. men patronized Spooner Library to such a great extent the last few nights? Tuesday night every chair in the library, even in the seminars and the newspaper room, was filled. Had there been more chairs, they would have been utilized too.

In enumerating the other reasons they may have, one naturally comes to the conclusion that they may have their dates there, but one is not inclined to believe this because of the very noticeable lack of girls. The situation is an eigna.

And there are so few girls; only about half a dozen in the whole library! Those few were back in the corners of the seminars in the basement. Did the girls feel timid as they approached and saw so many men, or did their work really call them down to the seminars?
Do the men really go there to study because of an increased interest in their work, or are there other reasons?

Plymouth Jottings
New Year's Day is coming!
Resolutions ought to be in the making.
If you should establish the habit of going to church during December, 1918, it would be a great deal easier to keep up the custom during 1919. You will be at home one or two Sundays in December. By all means go to church. You will find all your old friends there, and what is more your very presence—such an important personage from college—will be a help in the home church. Quite seriously, the preacher will be heartened to see you in the congregation, your old Sunday School teacher will give some reward for faithful effort in the days of your mischievousness, and the youngsters in the church will say to themselves, "If John Jones or Mary Smith from K. U. isn't too old to go to church, I guess I'm not." As Robert Speer says, You don't have influence, you are influence.
Resolutions made hastily, impulsively, at the eleventh hour are never leapt. We might as well not make them.
Better still, one can practice the new habit for a few weeks and get it so well established that the resolution which seeks to make it permanent is really only a ratification of a choice long since made.
Resolutions made thoughtfully, after due promotion, made firmly, vigorously, and set steadily before oneself, have some show of being carried out.
Do you see what I am driving at?
Yours very cordially,

Meanwhile, and after the holidays,
there is Plymouth. Plymouth will be glad to see you, glad to serve you,
glad to put you to work.
Think it over.

to Make Navy Gob-Trot
The Navy "Gob-Trot" will be held at the Gym on the good ship "Rock and Ride" from the Potters. Lake Training Station between eight bells and eight eights on the evening watch Saturday. "Salt! Salt!" Blizer, manager of the trot, has worked out a good decoration theme and will have the starboard side of the ship decorated between lights and the port side with red lights. A four foot moon will be placed in the bow of the ship. The flags of the allied nations will be placed in the rigging of the ship. The shove off will be at eight bells sharp. Only gobs from the Potters Lake Station, and their crew, will be allowed to board the ship. More than 150 gobs have signed to attend the trot and tickets are selling at $1.00 a couple. The money made will go into the company fund. An orchestra consisting of a piano, two banjos and a violin has been contracted for Mrs. Esterly and Dr. Goetz will chaperon the trot.

TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY

Among the many hardships of the freshmen are the ones pertaining to the names of those different sororities, and fraternities, that they hear so much about on Mount Oread. The names themselves are difficult enough to remember, but it seems to some of them an endless task to distinguish the fraternities from the sororites when they hear certain names.
All the Greek You Must Know is "Eta, Bita Pi"
One unsophisticated boy insists upon speaking of the Kappa Sigma sorority, and the Sigma Kappa fraternity; and still another boy always calls up the Pi Beta Pi house for a date when the one he really wants is the Pi Beta Pi. It seems strange to some why any organization should have words in their names which are almost impossible to pass such as: Epsilon Upsilon, and another question that arises in their young minds, is why these are not always called by their right names. Why should one refer to Sigma Alpha Epsilon as Sig. Alph., and to Phil Delta Theta as Phil Delt
Perhaps these hardships will be overcome by the time they have attained the rank of a senior or may complete their education and complex names without hesitation.
College French Helps
Oread Men Overseas
"My knowledge of French, however slight it is, is more valuable than I can express," writes Benjamin H. Leventhal, A.B.12, to Miss Eugenie Gallo, his former French teacher Leventhal is in France with the
American Expeditionary Forces.
"I enjoy using my French at every opportunity," continues Leventhal,
"and the natives no doubt enjoy my imperfect utterance and are eager to listen to me. All of us soldiers love the French people. They are so courageous and loyal and they treat us with strict honesty."
There's Something In a Name, Bradley
What's in a name! Bradley Sullivan says there is something in a name, and he can prove it.
He is a medical student, in good standing, and was stationed at Rosedale with the rest of his colleagues. They were all a bit peeved at the government for not transferring them to the S. A. T. C., so they went on something, in lieu of the valuable work they did at the infirmaries.
But Bradley was a bit luckier than the rest of the members of the Medical Enlisted Reserve Corps. His name was confused with that of another Sullivan of another school, and after much red tape and a loss of about eight weeks time, he was returned to school. But in the meantime he was inducted into the A.T.C. He will hold and issued clothing and will necessarily have to be mustered out. So he get more than his share, considering the fate of his fellow-medics, and his name was worth something to him after all.

Will Send Equipment To School of Mines
Baxter Institution Gets Material Saved From Fire at Weir City
Governor Capper and the board of administration have given their approval to the sending of a portion of the chemistry, physics, and mining equipment left after the two fires last summer at Weir, to the Baxter School of Mines. This school, which is soon to be finished, is the first of a series of secondary schools of mines which the state of Kansas hopes to be able to erect. It is to be large by a night school for employed men, or a day school for men who work at night. These schools will give to the men who actually work in the mines, a technical education of their work, and will also give them a general education, for many can only read and write.
A carload of costly equipment has been sent here from Weir, which survived the fire. It consists of furniture, scales and balances. Prof. B. L. Wolfe, who was head of the Weir school when it burned, is now on the faculty of the University of Kansas.
F. M. Sodawater is a barber in Port Jervis, N. Y. We wonder if his son calls him Pop2-Cincinnati Enquirer.
