Kansas Contidently Awaits Appearance Of Aggies' Eleven
Stiff Signal Drill and Final Formations Mark End of Preparations
500 Visitors Are Expected
Manhattan Players Hope to Retaliate for Long List of Defeats
The Kansas eleven went through the hardest practice of the season last night in final preparation for the Turkey Day game with the Kansas Aggies on McCook Field. The Jay Hawkers spent most of the day on a man run off pla which will be used against the farmers Thursday.
Mott was out again for practice, and expects his hand to mend so he will be able to start the game at center against the Aggies. Hochuli is out for practice once more and may not be able to get into the final game of the season but hopes to start in the line. Simons is coming along fine and may be used in the back field in the clash.
Ruble was down from Rosedale for the signal drill and will work in the game. Ruble practically won the Thanksgiving game with the Tigers at Columbia last year, and the big boy is as good as ever. He will add a lot of offensive power to the Kansas eleven.
The men will go through light practice tonight and rest fomorrow morning for the game. The Aggies are training for the game especially and will attempt to retalitate for the long hours at the hands of the Jayhawkers.
Battalion Drill Is
Put On for First Time
The Aggies will bring about 500 rooters with them and will occupy the north bleachers. The field will seat 12,00 persons and cars will be admitted if every occupant has a $2,00 seat. The two teams are in good condition, and a good game can be expected.
The first battalion drill the camp has had was put on this morning on Hamilton Field by the second battalion, consisting of Companies F. G and H, under command of Lieut. Joseph W. Cummings as acting major. The companies were divided into eight platoons for purposes of instruction.
Battalion left at double time was the first movement. This was greatly used in France in moving troops across exposed positions and along rounds under fire. A regiment in column of squads extends about two miles, but when in battalion formation, has a length of only 150 yards.
Two hollow squares were formed with the eight platons, and drill in this formation went on about fifteen minutes. The rest of the time was devoted to similar battalion movements.

K.U. Man Goes to France With President's Part
When the Agamemnon sails for France, with the Presidential party, early in December, a former University of Kansas student will be on the ship, as a member of the hospital staff.
Francis Stevens, a student in the college about five years ago, is making a visit with his parents Prof. and Mrs.W. G. Stevens, having a short furlough while the Agamemnon is in drydoek preparation for the President's trip.
Mr. Stevens had many interesting experiences on transports which were taking troops to France, and returning with convalescents. He says it was interesting to watch the conduct of the men, especially that of the colored troops. At the beginning of the war, three weeks' time was required in the French ports, but on the last trip but fifteen hours were required.
U-boats made several attempts to get the Agamemnon, but all failed. The torpedo which damaged the Mt. Vernon, causing the loss of thirty lives, was intended for the Agamemnon, but an opportune turn saved the ship.
Can't Judge Keen Ones By Clothes and Pins
Man Whose Complexion Can Stand Trial of O.D. Shades Is Beautiful
"You can't tell the keen men from the others" is the complaint of many of the women on the Hill this year about the uniforms worn by the
"That's the main thing you can tell," is the answer made by others. "It all depends upon your point of view. The fraternity pins are not in evidence and one man's trousers are creased no better than those of another. If the :tickees" of a man depends upon these things, it is quite impossible to tell the keen from the others."
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 27. 1918.
But other women do not need frat pin and the tailored suit to distinguish the men of their taste. As far as mere masculine beauty is concerned, no color is so trying to the complexion as the O. D. of these uniforms. The only coloring will stand this trial has reason to be called "good looking."
But more than that, the slender dancing man, so desirable as a date in former years, now must give place to the glamorous lady and man ta wear an issue uniform well.
New standards are being made by the feminine element on the Hill. Every S, A, T, C, man is dressed allike, and the man stands out for himself, not his clothes and pin for him. It is hard on some of the man, but on the whole the women seem to think it is their gain.
Peace Book Will Need Artists and Writers
Fred Righty, Editor, Has Office In Adjutant's Office, Green Hall
All men in the Student Army Training Corps who have had any experience with art work or writing clever snappy articles are urged to see Fred Rigby, editor of the Peace Book, the 1919 Jiahawkher. "There are men from all walks of life in the S. A. T. C." said Mr. Rigby, this morning, "and we need men who can write snappy verse and prose." Mr. Rigby will be in the adjutant's office in Green Hall every afternoon.
Every company of the student army training corps including the vocational detachment will have a separate section in the Jayhawker, for the company picture and happenings of the company.
"We are planning the largest snap shot sections that has ever been in any Jayhawker of the school," said Mr. Rigby. "The work of collecting and taking the anms for this section is being done by Ray Hemphill and Hopter. Many unique scenes will be featured in the Pean Book."
At the meeting of the Jayhawker
Board yesterday afternoon, the broader
policies of the book were discussed,
work of getting pictures of K. U. students
and graduates who have died
while in service of their country has
been started. If the committee is
successful in obtaining the pictures
they will be run with the names on
the honor roll on the dedication page.
Jayhawk Picture Dates Announced Emphatically By Peace Book Editor
Annual for 1919 Will Drop Former Customs of Classi- cation
fication
Get that date to have that picture taken for the Jayhawk at once. Especially since the Jayhawk editor Don't put it off another minute, has announced that all gloss prints for individual and group pictures must be turned in before January 10.
The snap shot section will be emphasized in the "Peace" book more than in any other annual. Special attention will be given to military snap shots. Students should save all snap shots of students, barracks, campus, and of former Jayhawkers in the snap shot editor will be appointed later.
All senior pictures, whether members of the S. A. T. C. or not will be placed in the senior section. In the junior and sophomore sections pictures of women and men may not in the senior section be placed for changing the usual order is because in the S. A. T. C. little stress is laid on class division.
In addition to the picture of fraternities, sororites, and departmental clubs group picture of Section B of the S. A. T. C. and of Section A will have that the Hyndman All menbers of Section A will have individual pictures arranged according to companies with the exception of the seniors.
The Jayhawker staff will be announced later. This year it is picked from all classes in the University instead of from the senior class, as has been the custom.
Lieut "Rollie" Boynton In "Humdinger" Battle
One of the best little bits of natural description of desperate fighting in which the Americans participated just before the signing of the armistice is contained in a letter dated November 4, from First Lieut. R. E. "Rollie" Boynton, A. B. '12, LL B.' '14. Mr. Boynton was stenographer in the chancellor's office six years. In a letter to Miss Moodie he be said in part:
::Oo October 12 our regiment went over the top in one of the bloodiest battles this old war ever saw. It wasn't a gigantic engagement, but for the size of it and for the time it lasted it sure was a humdinger. Our battalion went over the top with about eight hundred men and by the end of the day had about three hundred and fifty left. Of the thirteen officers that went over the top only three of us came out unhurt, so that you can see we were up against a heavy machine gun advance in the face of heavy machine gun fire from the front and from both flanks and through a heavy artillery barrage. All we had was our hearts and rifles, but about as many Boche bit the dust as our boys. 'One thing about the American soldier, he can shoot a rifle and the Boche are scared to death of him.
It was some fight and I never want to see another ong as bad if I can get out of it. Of course, if we have to go up against the same thing again we will do it, but we all hope that it will be something easier next time.
"The boys in the office are looking themselves over for coaties and I am beginning to feel cootified myself, I said to myself, 'I thought the feeling was contagious.'"
"We are back behind the lines now so far back you can't even hear a gun, but for the last two months we have been hit it pretty hard, and practically all of last month we spent on the front line.
Prof. H. W. Nutt of Oread Training School has two book reviews in the November number of the Educational Review. He says of "Educational Psychology" by Kate Gordon: "This book is in accord with the modern tendency to discuss mental phenomena in terms of experimental evidences instead of论其from an introspective basis." Of "Applied Psychology" by H. L. Hollingworth and A. T. Poffenberger, Professor Nutt says that it is especially useful to the layman as the language is unusually free from technical terminology. Likewise the point of view of the book should help in breaking down the opinion that psychology as a science is theoretical and philosophical rather than practical.
Prof. Nutt Writes Book Reviews
Real Sages Developed As They Eat and Eat
"They eat and eat and never get full," remarked a bystander
No, he was not referring to the time-worn riddle about the threshing machine, but to the never-ending stream of S. A. T. C. men who were going to and fro from the canteens, from the barracks on Mississippi Street.
Occasionally a small group of women enters a centrum. Still more infrequently a lieve or a sarge fiend is escorted there for temporary stunishment by a man or a Kluantan hostess or a bordier of a person having time to be captured.
As yet only the staple confections and tobacco, dental creams and other similar necessities are displayed on the shelves and counters. The long bench standing at one side of the room provides a place to sit, and it is hilted by some that these are almost as wae as the Sleep Hollow sages.

Demobilizing of S.A.T.C. Dec. 3-4 Is Ordered by War Department
Men of Sections A and B Will be Mustered Out, Say_Instructions to Captain Scher, as Quickly as Possible
Discipline Must be Maintained to the Last Minute, Says Commanding Officer—No Red Tape Delay in Demobilizing
LET'S GO
Plain Tales From the Hill
The combination of Turkey Day game and the demobilization of the S. A. T. C. will be ushered by an new-fashioned-old-fashioned rally in Robinson Gymnastium at 6:30 tonight. It will be a double rejoicing because there is cause for double rejoicing. The band and all the trimmings will be there, and the Pee Wee Kansan will appear, the first time this year. The time is 6:30 tonight. The purpose is to generate the pep to trim the Aggies. All right everybody—let's go!
Demobilization of the Students' Army Training Corps unit here will begin December 2, according to a telegram received at 9:45 o'clock this morning by Capt. Bruno T. Scher, direct from the War Department. The demobilizing of Section A, the collegiate section, will be begin Monday, December 2, and Section B, the vocational section, will start to disband, Wednesday, December 4.
An unusual example of a hybrid between religion and immorality was found Sunday afternoon by a student promenal in Y. M. C. A. affairs when he called upon some friends on Tennessee Street. One of the men was very properly reading a Scripte lesson when another entered and insisted on "shooting" four-bits I am broke, but I'll shoot my bible.
"Oh, well," remarked the student of philosophy, as he gently detached an aicle from his nose and examined his shoes for signs of snow, "this will be good training if we should happen to be transferred to Siberia."
No man will be released from the service until he has had a physical examination. All men will be released who wish to leave school as quickly as possible. The men who will not remain in college probably will be given an opportunity to get out of the service before those who plan to keep on with their collegiate work.

One day till Thanksgiving,
Dear Dad,
Jake the Gob
I'll be home soon as we will be de-
neutralised and let go of here soon
said the orders we get read to us to
day. I am gain to get out as I don't
like K. U. I can't see Nelly at all
and we both are coming home. We
get thunder in school and thunder in
drill and the thunder grows all the
time. No, I don't like K. U.-it ain't
what Bill used to say it was. I hate
English too. Well I write when
my lease my出门 here.
There's no use asking him, Mabel He really cannot take you down the Hill. The other night several S. A T. C, men and several University women were standing in the street in front of the Library.
"No, I can't, tell you. I can't
it's getting time to be there, and we've
got to be there." Thus one of the
men explained in a low, sad voice.
There was more entreaty, but finally
the men assembled and marched to
ward the barracks, and the women
trailed down Fourteenth street alone.
Tomorrow's, Kansan
A special program edition will be issued by The Daily Kansan tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. The lineup and the "dope" on the game will be featured. The paper will be delivered to subscribers before noon and will be on sale at McCook Field at the game
Presbyterian young women will hold open house at Westminster Hall, Wednesday and Thursday nights, for soliloquy music, games and refreshments.
A regular Varsity dance will be given tonight at P. A. U. Hall under the direction of the W. S. G. A. This extra舞 is given for the benefit of the S. A. T. C. men whose Thanksgiving holiday begins this afternoon.
Varsity Dance Tonight
Until the demobilization can be completed, it is more necessary than before that military discipline and routine be strictly maintained, Captain emphasized. Careful adherence to all military regulations will hasten the demobilization details, and the men who do not want to get out of the service with all possible speed will be able to do that by not letting the military organization loosen during the next few days.
S. A. T. C. officers may be released from the service December 10, unless they wish to remain in the army permanently, it is said. The officers who received their commissions at Fort Sheridan last summer, and who were in other schools and universities last fall for releases, and only the few who were regular army men before the war will remain in the service.
GREET NEWS WITH WHOOP
The news of the demobilization spread like a flash over the Hill. Men coming from class at 10 o'clock heard it and began yelling to indicate their pleasure. More conservative men first asked at headquarters if the report was true. Being assured that it was they lost their conservative streak in loud whoops as they came down the steps of Green Hall.
"As to whether or not the vote of the S. A. T. C. Monday night had anything to do with the decision of the War Department to discontinue the organization," said Captain Scher, "I cannot say, but I doubt that it did. As soon as the government learned that there were so many men in the S. A. T. C. who had lost interest, now that peace had come, they decided the wisest thing to do was to get rid of them.
"There is no need of trying to do anything for these men as long as they want to get out as quickly as they can."
Chancellor Strong had received no official word of demobilization up to the end of his term.
"At the meeting Monday night, we wanted a census of the men who wanted to go home, and those who intended to stay lin the university," said Captain Robert Swain. "The thing will do is to discharge those who want to get out of it entirely."
There will be no formal demobilization of the S. A. T. C., such as the formalities accompanying induction into the service. In fact, that was not necessary, but was a more formality, which it a bit more impressive to everyone.
NEED NOT APPLY FOR DISCHARGE
"The men will not make application for discharge or anything of the sort. In fact, they can't stay in now if they want to. Every man will have to get out whether he wants to or not. The officers, however, will have their choice," said Captain Scher. "But before any man is discharged, he will have to take a thorough physical examination, so that the government will be safeguarded against claims we have here. That is very here, we do not know more fast we have here. Ido not know how fast we will be able to discharge the men. If we get a company a day discharged we will be doing splendidly. At that rate it will take about ten days to get them all out.
"There is an enormous amount of paper work to do, so that everyone will be the possessor of a written discharge. Then he will be paid to the service by cash, by quarantymasters who will be here for that purpose."
Those who have no civilian clothing (Continued on page 2)
