Will Have to Salvage Barracks of Section A, Says Prof. C.C. Williams
NUMBER 30.
Buildings Which Cost $130,000
Are Worth $20,000
Wrecked
Barracks on Hill May Stay
Engineers Need More Space and Could Use 9,10, and 11
It will probably be necessary to salvage all the barracks on Mississippi Street now that the S. A. T. C. is to be disbanded, according to Prof. C. C. Williams of the School of Engineering, unless one or two are used for additional training quarters for athletics.
The expense of the necessary alterations to convert them into dormitories would be almost prohibitive if the temporary character of the buildings is considered. In spite of alterations being made, it would not convert the barracks into comfortable dormitories and they could not be made fireproof.
It is estimated that the lumber in the barracks will bring between $15000 and $20000 as against the first cost of about $8000 for lumber and $4000 for wooden construction makes them impracticable for any permanent use.
A museum for engineering exhibits, individual workrooms for all upper class engineers and classrooms for vocational training for men of Kansas unable to enter regular University courses are suggestions made by Professor Williams for the disposition of Barracks 9, 10, and 11.
Such a museum for the Engineering School could be made valuable in there room for it. The exhibits would consist of many things such as the roadmaking materials at present in the first floor hall of Marvin Hall and other kinds of engineering machinery and apparatus. A model set of forms for concrete structures could also be obtained.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 29, 1918.
The lack of space in Marvin Hahn has prevented any attempt at such a collection heretofore, but the barracks would furnish a fine temporary housing for the museum until additional room is given the School of Engineering.
Another project which is hindered by lack of room at present is that of providing individual office or at least providing an individual) office or at least deals for upperclass engineers. In lieu of that, two tween classes usually must be waited because of the distance of Maryin Hall from the rooming section.
The third barracks on the Hill could easily be used as additional classroom rooms for some of the engineering courses or for a system of vocational training for men unable to enter the regular University courses. Such a plan with courses modeled somewhat after the courses given the Section B men was advocated before the war, and now that such a course exists, similar plans for civilian training would enable many men otherwise unable to do so, to get a practical education through vocational training in a short time.
Under the office plan each man would be assigned either a room or at least a desk where books and material could be kept locked and he would be at liberty to study there at any time without interference. One barracks would furnish sufficient room for this plan.
For all of these uses the barracks would probably be stucked on wire lath, thus making the outside of the buildings fireproof. Different arrangements made for heating would be installed. Some interior subdivision would be necessary.
Many students channeled courses at the resuming of school after the flu epidemic, but work is again in full swing and such a rearrangement will be impossible until next spring. The former curriculum will be relinquished.
Non-inducted and regular S. A. T.
C. men desiring to change their
courses to regular college work at the
disbandment of the S. A. T. C, this
week, will be unable to do so, according
to Dean F. J. Kelly of the School of
Education.

Wayne Wilson, Formerly On Kansan Board, is Dead
Wayne Wilson, well and favorably known student in the University last year, when he was subscription manager of the Daily Kansan, died November 23, at Raleigh, N. C., of pneumonia, following Spanish influenza Wayne went to Raleigh only one month ago to join the tank corps.
Wilson lived in Winfield and went to high school there. He entered the University of Kansas in the fall of 1916, doing work in the department of journalism two years ago. He was a member of the Kanza fraternity. He corresponded for the Winfield Free Press while in school, and was advertising manager on the El Dorado River. He worked as a reporter. His parents live in Douglass.
S. A. T. C. at a Standstill and Without Drills or Other Formation
Demobilizing to Wait On Adjutants Return
Every thing at headquarters of the commandant is at a standstill, awaiting the time for demobilizing to begin according to Capt. Bruno T. Scher, Lieut. Ralph E. Carter, personnel adjudant and Lieut. Thomas Madden, adjutant, are in Kansas City attending the district inspector's school, and learning the methods that are to be used in filling out the discharge papers of the men in the Student Army Training Corps.
All drills and formations have been dispensed with, and the rifles have been checked in by every company. The only military work that the men in the barracks do now is physical exercise.
According to Lieut. Frank J Cranner there will be three kinds of discharges issued, honorable, with out honor and dishonorable. That will probably be no dishonorable discharges that will have to be issued here but there will be several with out honor issued.
All men will be forced to accept discharges whether they want them or not, not according to Lieutenant Pramar, the Student Teacher. Troops will be entirely disbanded.

Walter Hall, c20, has taken the position of chemist in the Water and Sewage Laboratory of the State Board of Health.
Next week may be a time of nasty and in-timed decisions among the members of the domed S. A. T. C. The sudden sense of freedom from the restraints of a military camp is apt to cause many to lose their balance and leave the University entirely. Monday night's voters, carefully coached beforehand, showed a majority intending to remain in school, but straw votes taken by instructors this week indicate that half fully the student soldiers plan to leave immediately upon receiving their discharges.
THINK IT OVER, MEN!
The state of affairs which has heartily disgusted most of the men here has not been the fault of the University, and K. U. people do not wish anyone to leave with a false impression of the school.
The loss of a year means a great deal to a young man. All who leave here with the intention of returning next year will cut down their earning power and their professional advancement.
By remaining in school at least two weeks after returning to civilia nife, students will receive full credit for the quarter's work. If a man expects to return to school later and leaves now, he will inevitably regret the loss of the credits he sacrifices by leaving at once.
The social side of the University will swing into normal condition shortly after the end of military authority here. School work will assume the prominent position in the life of the student, detracted from by no military obligations. Men who have never seen the University under normal conditions will have an opportunity to do so during two weeks following demobilization.
Men who joined the S. A, T. C. as a means of entering the military establishment of the nation should also consider well before leaving school. The war is over and a future in military work will be a hard grind. The man with an education is recognized as a leader everywhere.
Journalism Students Were Not Connected With Cheap "Hoot Owl"
Think it over,men.
K. U. Students Did Not Fal For Coarse Scandal
Sheet
Contrary to the prevailing opinion, the Hoot Owl, the yellow sheet of low grade circulated at the Wednesday night rally, was not published by the members of the Kansan Board, and was not printed at the department of journalism. To begin with it has never been the custom of the Kansan Board to get out anononomous publications such as the Hoot Owl.
"I am very sorry that such a publication was put out again" and Charcellor Strong this morning. "I understand that it is an attempt to redefine the five sheets of the University, which we thought were through with."
"Such a publication as was sold at the rally Wednesday night, is a bad thing and reflects greatly upon the good name of the University of Kansas. It was neither clever nor wity; in fact it was a covetely bed she shared with her publisher, who show their names in order to give the follow up whom they tried their attempt at cleverness, a chance to come back."
The type of wit that was used in the Hoot Owl was disgusting. Names of women were mentioned outright. In some cases the faculty members and lieutenants were hit, but in no instance were the jokes, if they can be called jokes, as offensive as those that were attached to some of the women students of the University of Kansas.
The sheet was of the cheapest makeup possible. Whoever published it, and it was evidently published out of town, was a second class printer, with no knowledge of errors. There was no knowledge evidenced how to spell Greek names.
In an article in Thursday's Lawrence Journal-World, the impression was left that the Hoot Owl was published by the Pewee Kansan staff. It said, in speaking with Pewee Kansan, "We were right that the Pewee Kansan appeared in form of the Hoot Owl, a screeching yellow scandal sheet. Neither statement was true. The Hoot Owl neither screeeed, nor was it the Pewee Kansan. The Pewee Kansan was distributed at the rally, but there was nothing in the entire paper that was offensive, and no reflection was cast on any woman student. The statement according to E.D. Kellmann, city editor of the Jour-
"The Hoot Owl is a disgraceful publication," said Dean Dawn L. Paterson, "and I am sorry that such a
Police Raid Officers Club and C.E.Bricken's Home, Seeking Liquor
Disguised as Plumber, Officer
Got Information for Chief
Murdo
Moproe
Following a fruitless raid on the Field and Staff Officers' Club, 1215 Oread Avenue, Thursday night, Edgert C. (Charlie) Bricken was arrested at his home, 711 Wost Twelfth Street, by a raiding squad of the Lawrence police. He was charged with violating the bone dry air law Only "empties" were found at the Officers' Club, the police said, but the raiding squad found no evidence of them in the Bricken home in addition to a trunk full of empty bottles and several cases of empty beer bottles, the police said.
Mr. Bricken, who has a one-third share in the rathing contract for the S. A. T. C. gump and is proprietor of the Oread Cafe, was released on $295 leand. His trial was set for "Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock before Judge Fred Clause of the High Court" to be held on Friday, raising party unability to state this morning whether or not Mr. Bricken would be held on state and federal charges.
The Officers' Club raid was made a little after 7:30 o'clock, but no arrests were made. There apparently was a lack of evidence, Chief Monroe with Policemen Schneck, Galbraith, Calver and Watkins, composed the raiding party. A pint of liquor was found in the room of one of the officers, who said he had taken it from a private.
Chief Monroe, after receiving many complaints of the two places, sent one of his men out early this week to the Officers' Club and to the Brickleen home in the disguise of a plumber's helmet. It was larger on the basis of the building than at the club, not in uniform that Thursday night's raid was made
The empty bottles and the one full quart of whisky found at Mr. Bricken's home bore the label of a Louisville, Ky., dealer. Mr. Bricken admitted, the police said, he had given drinks to several officers but said he had never sold liquor to any of them.
Men Are Snapped at Work
Photographs of the men in the vocational section were taken, Wednesday, for the war history of the University which Prof. M. W. Sterling is keeping, at the request of the War Department. Both outside and interior pictures of the Fowler shops were taken. One picture shows the whole group of men and other pictures depict the men at work in the blacksmith and machine shops.
The Red Cross means Mercy.
Cotton Hose Come Back In Women's Gym Work
There may still be clocks in the woman's side of Robinson Gymnasium but they will be of the time-ticking variety, and not the ones that wend their fancy way up the sides of silk hose.
No more will shiny silk lose in varied colors of the rainbow occipany humble canvas shoes in their journeys over the smooth floor of the gym. For all silk ones have made their farewell tour to the women's court, but an entire ruik which has been announced to all students by the instructors.
The small number of plain cotton stockings that have bravely and conspicuously appeared heterofore will no longer be so negligible. They will undoubtedly promote democracy and work economy, according to the instructors.
K. U. students are not supposed to be experts in stock judging as students of the State Agricultural College, but there are many University men and women who would venture the opinion that the Jayhawk ranks by six points a better animal than the Aggie Cow.
Plain Tales From the Hill
Every S. A. T. C. company has the habit of kidding its sergeants. Company H, in an attempt to grow clever in its joking, has turned to alliterative kidding. Thursday night this company gave fifteen "Groans for Gray," Gray being one of the sergeants.
Who said Thanksgiving Day was not "Turkey Day" at the barracks?
S. A. T. C. Mending is not Neglected
The call for women to assist with the mending for S. A. T. C. men has been responded to in splendid shape, according to Mrs. Belle Wilmot at the Hostess House. Four or five women are at the work every day, and are able to keep up with the amount brought in. The men for the most part do their own pressing with the facilities of the Hostess House and the garments which need repairs are attended to by these volunteers of the women student body.
Members of the Naval section were carrying their blankets outdoors this morning. Army men watched them with great interest, and some of them asked the gobs if that meant they were going to leave the barracks. The blankets were only being given an airing, however. Navy man say that whenever they make any noisy or have unusual formation, the Army men always think the gobs are going to put something over them, ana throng around to watch and ask questions.
There will be no Variety Dance at F. A. U., Hall Saturday night, as has been advertised. Company A of the S. A. T. C, has secured the hall and is giving a dance for members of the company and officers.
Company A Will Give Dance

Jayhawk Machine Downs Aggies to Tune of 13-7 In Thanksgiving Scrap
Stem Foster Finishes Career by Winning Game for Kansas
K. U. Outplayed at First
ding
Jones, Mott and Marxen Kepu Line From Skid-
The Kansas Jayhawkers won from the Kansas Aggies on McCook Field. Thanksgiving day 13 to 7 through the brilliant playing of Captain Stem Foster who won the game for Kansas by three long runs in the final quarter. Foster got away for a 15, 20 and 25 yard advance and carried the ball over a minute later for the final touchdown of the season. Foster ended his career as a Kansas football player and captain by winning the game for his team. Foster was the star of the game, carrying the ball for good gains and returning punts for good yards.
The Kansas team was outplayed in the first half and the Aggies scored early in the game when Burton carried the oval across the line after Gallagher, Burton and Husted had carried the ball within striking distance of the Kansas goal. The first half was a putting duel between Bun and Kane, who ended up at the edge. Kansas came back in the second quarter and started the fight that won the game. The Kansans scored in the second quarter after being held by the Aggies near the goal line. Buble carried the ball over.
The third period was slow and both teams resorted to the punting game, Foster outpuncting his opponent. The Kansans were held in the third quarter on the one yard line. Kansas won the game in the final period through Foster's work. The Aggies tried the passing game in a final effort to score and completed several passes through the receiving of Gallagher.
The Kansas team was fighting all the way. The line held like a wall, and Jones, Mott and Marxen deserve much credit for the Kansas win. Burton, Gallagher, Husted, Gatz and Bogue did the playing for the farmers. Bum, Foster, Heiger and Ruble worked well in the back field.
