"Stay Rest Of Quarter And Get Full Credit Says Dean F. J. Kelly
Men Staying in K.U. Should Get Names On Class Rolls
War Course Credits Count
No More Military Courses Nex Quarter-Hill To Be Normal
"Men who are discharged from military service and go home immediately without, completing the semester's work will receive no credit for the work they have already done," said F. J. Kelly this morning.
Of the 1611 men who have been inducted less than 500 have signified that they will withdraw from college as soon as given their discharges, according to information gathered by Dean Kelly.
Many men voted to leave the University as soon as discharged so as to exert an influence in getting the S. A. T. C. disbanded. Others voted to stay thinking that such a vote would have an effect.
Regardless of the manner in which they voted, those who wish to remain in school should report to the various offices where the class rolls that are now being formed.
"Any men who consider that they have so neglected their work that it would be useless to remain in college on the job," he said back next quarter, "and back next quarter," said Dean Kelly.
"There is no reason why the time they have put in this semester should not count, or that they should not receive credit in their regular college course for war courses this quarter. The man who wants to make his work count will stay here these last three weeks, and will finish up the courses in which he is enrolled to the best of his ability."
No military courses will be offered next quarter and college work will again be normal.
November Had Highest Humidity in 51 Years
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 3, 1918.
Two Scholarships Open For Women at University
The total amount of rainfall in November has been exceeded only twice within this period of fifty-one years, in 1879 and in 1909. The total amount of rainfall last month, included, the meisted snow, was 4.16 inches.
November of this year has distinguished itself by having the highest relative humidity which has been recorded is fifty-one years, according to Prof. F. E. Kester, who is in charge of the K. U. weather bureau. It is the highest that has ever been recorded in the weather office here. The mean humidity for the month was 83.8 per cent.
Two scholarships are open to the women of the University. All women who expect to enter are urged to get their names to Miss Eugenie Galton at
The Frank Egbert Bryant Memorial Scholarship is open to all women in the college, who are above the freshman class, and all those in the graduate school. The scholarship given by Mrs J. B. Watkins is open to freshman women only.
Mrs. Rader Complimented For Diet Kitchen Work
Miss Esther Wilson, instructor in Grace, wishes to correct the statement that she was one of the dieticians supervising the kitchen during the three weeks of influenza epidemia at the barracks. She with five other members of the faculty, worked in the kitchens under the supervision of Mrs. Ralph Rader, a professional dietician, who organized and directed the work,
Misa Wilson feels that this explanation is due in order to give the proper foundation.
Next Play Comes December 11
"A Proposal Under Difficulty" will be presented at the Little Theater, Wednesday, December 11. "Suppressed Desires," the dramatic play given last week, was well attended in spite of the bad weather. Professor Kendrie furnished the music, and candidates for the dramatic club gave readings.
Home Folks Read Vivid Tales Of S.A. T.C.Life
The men in the service here spend a lot of time writing letters home that are full of brags and whines about their work. Several letters have been found on bunks at inspection which were unfinished and the sergeants have filled a few of the best ones.
"Say, you ought to see me and the officers," the contents of one letter. "They're great boys when you get to know them. All you have to do is to smoke the cigars and maybe slip them a car-ride or two and they'll let you by."
The writer of this letter evidently tried to impress the home folk with the fact that he is a "regular fellow." Such letters are termed "pipe dreams" by other members of the S. A. T. C.
Among the collection of home letters were found a few plaintive wails, typical of the homesick boy. "It's tough to be among strangers," said one writer. "I don't have anybody to talk to. I don't get much to eat and all I do is to work. I wish you folks could see me."
The collection also includes the same and sensible home letters, cheerful
"This is the regular life," is a frequent expression. "The army isn't half bad. Expect to stay on when the S. A. T. C. demobilizes."
According to the majority of men in the S. A. T. C, the men who do not have the back bone to write a straight letter home are the ones in the company who are not making good. These men suggest that company funds be used to provide youthful amusement for writers of the "impressionistic" type of correspondents

Charles Bricken was found guilty on two liquor counts in police court this morning and was fined $200 and costs by Judge Fred Clark. A jail sentence of 60 days was suspended as a parole. Bricken pleaded guilty to the charge of having liquor on his premises.
E. C. Bricken Fined $200
On Two Liquor Counts
Bricken's home at 711 West Twelfth street was raided Thursday night following a raid on the Officers' Club, 1215 Oread Avenue. James H. Monroe, chief of police, was unable to say this morning whether the matter would be taken up by the federal authorities.
Minor Influenza Cases Not At All Alarming Say Health Authorities
Many Cases of Severe ColdS Given Unusual Care Because of Epidemic Possibilities
Unless some unlooked for angle of the influenza situation presents itself today, no move to close the University will be taken by the health authorities, said Dr. A. W. Clark, city health commissioner this morning.
Dr. S. J. Crumbine, dean of the School of Medicine, did not make his acquaintance Tuesday trip to Law and Medicare there. There is no occasion for alarm.
That the influenza situation among the students of the University has not again assumed serious proportions, is the belief of the Student Hospital authorities. The hospital on Louisiana Street now has thirteen women patients and two men patients, and is attending some half dozen outside cases. None of the cases are at all of a serious nature. The line between a severe cold and the influenza is so thin in normal times when there was no fear of an epidemic the majority of these cases would pass either as severe colds or light form of 'be la grippie.'
There are no cases of influenza in the S. A, T. C. infirmary.
Local health officials are of the opinion that these colds are the natural result of the first snow and slush of the season, on Thanksgiving day and the following few days, and is nothing to become alarmed about at this time, if the usual precautions are observed.
The women of the University are availing themselves of the facilities at the hospital this year more than ever, they are realizing the hospital is theirs and for their welfare. The university is at stage of an operation at this time no higher than it should be in normal times, authorities say.
Mistletoe Girls Will
Invade Hill Tomorrow
Eight More Candidates Out for Beauty Contest of Peace
On account of the late arrival of the Jayhawk subscription books the Mistletoe girls were not on the campus this morning taking subscriptions for the 1919 Peace Book. They will be out in full force tomorrow morning and will be prepared to subscribe and cast their votes for their favorite beauty candidate.
Tulie Louise Shepherd, Alice Decking, Martha Thoma Edmon, EDNA chain, Jessie Buck, Thelma Huston, Charman, Arnice, Clara Goulden, Goldie
Eight more candidates have been added to the list of thirty named yesterday. They are:—
Of the thirty-six candidates, the six receiving the most votes will be the winners of the beauty contest and the winner of a page of pictures in the Peace Book.
The Peace Book plans are now practically complete, according to Fred Rigby, editor-in-chief. It will have a leather binding, stamped and embosed in gold and black. The dominating colors will be khaki and black.
Registrar Foster announces that the government will discontinue paying the fees of men in the S. A. T. C. at its disbandment. Laboratory and hospital fees, matriculation dues, etc., with the amount deducted while the students were in the army, will be levied for the remainder of the year. Its disbandment. Laboratory and hostese expenses for the whole school year but it seems the plan has been changed.
Men Will Pay Fees
"The division pages in the book will be one of the most unique features of the book," said Mr. Rigby. "Each page will depict some phase of the war, from the declaration of war to the signing of the armistice and perhaps some reconstruction ideas will be used as divisions. This will be a great relief from the wormout idea of using classy co-eds with fancy back grounds. In using some of the war and peace phases the book will be very valuable as a pictorial history of the University during the war."
Owing to the Ilnes of Professor Kendrie, the University Orchestra will not hold its regular rehearsal this week.
Members of Section B May Not Be Discharged Before End of Quarter
Delay in Receipt of Blanks Continues to Prevent Mastering Out
Demobilization of Section B of the Student Army Training Corps at the University of Kansas did not begin today on account of the failure of orders to arrive from the committee on education.
"The work of demobilization is at a standstill until orders come from the committee saying the actual work of demobilization is to begin," said Capt. Bruno T. Scher, commandant, this morning.
It was thought when the authorization of demobilization was received last week from the war department that the entire unit would be cleared out of the University in about two weeks. But since the delay has occurred it may be that the unit will not be discharged entirely until the end of the quarter, or about December 21.
The work of demobilizing both sections of the detachment will be done by Leic. Thomas Madden, adjutant, Ralph E. Carter, personal adjutant.
One Hundred Voices Sing in Peace Chorus
Governor and Mrs. Arthur Capper Attend Victory Concert
More than one hundred citizens of Lawrence and members of the University took part in the Peace Concert given in Robinson gymnasium last night. The concert celebrated the Allied victory and was the first of this kind to be given in the United States.
Governor and Mrs. Arthur Capper attended the concert. Two of the songs given by the mixed chorus were written by Mrs. Capper.
The chorus was trained and led by Prof. Arthur Nevin. Prof. Carl Preyer, rendered a group of three piano-forte pieces of his own composition.
Boxing to Become Part Of Athletic Training
Physical Training Will Be Modeled After That in Army
Camps
Boxing will play a more important part in the curriculum of the department of physical education next semester than it has during previous years.
W. O. Hamilton, director of athletics, is making an effort to remove the spirit of drudgery that has so often been attached to any required form of exercise. The general plan is to model somewhat after the methods that were so successfully used at the larger cantonnets.
Boxing will be a required part of the work for each man enroiled in the department will be classified according to their weights and ability and if enough men are found who have exceptional ability they will be separated and given that form of exercise alone.
Mass games and drills it is supposed will bring a more enthusiastic response from the students than could mat work and apparatus exercisers.
Phi Beta Kappa to Eject
The Phi Beta Kappa Council, which is composed of members, will meet in Fraser Hall, Room 206, Friday at 4:30 o'clock. New members will be elected to Phi Beta Kappa at this meeting.
Conch Hamilton has several men under consideration as instructor in the 'manly art'. Among them, Tommy Murphy of Kansas City, amateur light weight champion of the United States, is probably first choice.
Phi Beta Kappa To Elect
Elizabeth Hunt and Rirk Kurb,
who have been visiting Lois Hunt,
c20, for the past week, returned today to their homes at Conway Springs.
Now that everyone has had a chance to get all the gossip out of his system and into print through the medium of the Pewee and the Hoot Owl, maybe K. U. can resume work again.
Deane Ackers Promoted And Cited for Bravery
Dean Ackers, e17, has been promoted from first lieutenant to captain. He is serving in France now as an intelligence officer. He was formerly a Lieutenant in dispatches for special bribery in the Chateau Thierry fighting.
He was commissioned second lieutenant at the first officers' training camp at Fort Riley and was sent to France immediately after receiving a commission in commandal fighting. He is a member of Beta Theta Pi and Theta Tau.
Plain Tales From the Hill
Private might gain a bit of cheese from the tale, perhaps more than a rumor, which says that two leuconte ants did kitchen police at one of the sorority houses last Sunday night. Fudge aprons and gold bars no longer strangers, according to the story.
The old teaching is that the emblem of peace is the olive branch. Yet the Jayhawker, which comes cut this year as a Peace Book, seems to endorse the mistletoe.
Some of the S. A. T. C, men have a new way to put pressing establishments out of business. They carefully fold their clothes in their one-time creases and as carefully wind them about the hot barracks stove-pipes. A few moments of this treatment and, presto, the poor soldier has a freshly pressed suit and is a kopeck or two ahead.
University women, who intend to have library dates will have to come to Spooner early hereafter or else stand up. Last night practically every library chair was taken by some S. A. T. C. man engrossed in the study of War Aims or Military Map Reading. There were only three women in the library when the study period began, while a week ago the men were just as searce.
"Beam soup from Japan may solv
food problems in U. S." says profes-
tor David Furst, who is on the
who have been living on beans in
the army have anything to say about it.
Presidents of Houses Will Confer Thursday
W. S. G. A. Will Co-operate With Government of Each House

A circular letter has been sent to all room-houses asking the women in each house to ordinarize, so the house president may co-operate with the W. S. G. A. and the Dean of Women through the house presidents' meetings.

Soldiers Give Wood to Poor
Several men of Section B extended the activities of the S. A. T. C, to include in its benefits an aged woman of Lawrence who was unable to buy fuel. The men borrowed one of Uclem Sam's big motor trucks, filled it full of waste lumber and driftwood gathered from different places and hauled the load to the house of the aged woman (name deleted by the censorship of decency). Lieutenant Cramer and Lieutenant Constans are said to deserve the credit of planning this raid on poverty.
