K.U.Against S.A.T.C. After First Quarter Senate and Men Vote
K. U. Governing Body Unanimous Against Military Training System
Board of Education Divided
Men Vote 1088 to 240 Against
Continuing S. A. T. C.
Until June 30
That the University of Kansas prefers to have the Student's Army Training Corps discontinued at the end of the first quarter, December 21, instead of continuing until June 30, 1919, as intended under the original contract with the War Department, was the message sent to Washington today by Dean F. J. Kelly, director of the section of the S. A. T. C. here.
Decision was reached unanimously by the University Senate last night, sitting with members of the State Board of Administration, after the attitude of the men in Section A had ben ascertained at a meeting in Robinson Gynnassium, where it was shown that four-fifths of the men would accept discharges December 21. The University Senate also fourths of them would remain in college even if government pay were discontinued.
BOARD SPLIT 50-50
At the Senate meeting, C. W. Green, a member of the Board of Administration, and James Kimball, business manager for the board, were entirely in favor of voting to discontinue the army features. Dr. Wilbur N. Mason, of the board, was inclined to oppose too precipitate action, and E. W. Hoch, also a member of the board, was entirely opposed to making a change.
FACULTY VOTES UNANIMOUSLY
"If I had been asked in the first place, I should have opposed bringing the training corps here," said ex-Governor Hoch, "but now that we have it, I believe we should continue for the contract period. There are a lot of young fellows who gave up good jobs to come to college only because the government pay made it possible, and if we discontinue the army work, they will be deprived of their college training."
FACULTY VOTES UNANIMOUSLY All the faculty members of the Senate opposed army training because of the disruption of collegiate work.
While the request of the War Department required but one question to be answered by the students—how many would have to leave if the S. A. T. C. were discontinued—Dean Kelly asked a second for his own information. The questions, and the student vote were as follows:
"In case the S. A. T. C. is continued and you are given the option of an honorable discharge, would you accent?
"Yes, 1088; no, 240.
"If the S. A. T. C. is discontinued and you are given an honorable discharge, would you continue in college?"
"Yes, 995; no, 325."
Professor Cady Lectures On Liquid Air to S.A.T.C.
Two hundred men selected from the eight companies, heard Prof. H. P. Cady deliver a lecture on liquid air this morning in the Chemistry Building auditorium. The men were the first section to hear the lecture, but all the others will have an opportunity later on. The next lecture will probably be delivered some time next week.
NUMBER 27.
Professor Cady's lecture is the same as the one he delivers on lecture courses during the winter with addition of a number of experiments.

Mt.Oread MenConserve By Wearing Old Clothes
Campus scenes these days reveal the models in unmilitary dress set by our military men. It is really surprising what artistic costumes they don in the abscended issued garb.
There are the old high school sweaters, the ones they wore when they were kids back home. Then there are the high necked jerseys, the good ones they grabbed on those sweatshirts when when when was it slating party on.
What about the unionals that dad made them wear when they sorted potatoes in the grocery store? They're here too. And last the old blue shirts that mother has washed until they no longer look sky blue.
Really one is reminded of Hein's 53 varieties when one looks over the river.

First Big Peace Chorus To Be Celebrated at K.U.
Over One Hundred Persons Will Be Trained by Prof. Arthur Nevin
The University of Kansas and Lawrence again have taken the lead in community music by arranging a peace chorus celebration. The return of peace to the war stricken countries of Europe and her Allies will be celebrated in concert to be given in Robinson Gymnasium, Monday eight, December 2.
More than one hundred townspaces and members of the University faculty will form the great peace chorus, the first of its kind in the country, which will be trained and led by Prof. Arthur Nevin. It will be the first concert in the United States to be given specifically for the purpose of commemorating history[23] event, the importance of which it is impossible to exaggerate.
Among th contiplions in which the entire chorus will take part will be two songs for mixed voices for which the words and music have been written by Mrs. Arthur Capper, wife of Governor Mac. Prof. Carl Carey wrote the organ score by seventeen of three pianoforte pieces of his own composition.
The two reels of motion pictures, showing "Roadmaking with Dynamite" will be shown at 8:30 Wednesday morning in Fraser Chapel for navy men, and others interested. A. C. Terrill, professor of mining, will lecture.

To Give First Concert
Of Annual K.U. Course
American Coloratura Open University Series December 6
The first number of the University Concert Course will be given Friday night, December 6, in Fraser Hall. Guests include Luc Gates, an American soprano.

MISS LUCY GATES
who sings in Robinson Gymnasium
December 6
Fraser Hall will be reserved.
"Miss Gates' voice is a true coloratura soprano, with a range from middle C to F above high C," say faculty musicians. "While she is a mission of vocal fire 'workings,' she also has a mutation as a singer of simple songs."
Professor Baumgartner's Brother Dies
Prof. W. J. Baumgartner of the department of Zoology was called to Halstead a few days ago by the illness fo his brother. Word was received today that his brother died Monday in the Hertzler Hospital at Halstead. Professor Baumgartner will remain until after the funeral.
Although Miss Gates was first coloratura soprano at the Berlinger Royal Opera before the opening of the war, she was practically unknown in this country at that time. Immediately after this country declared war with Germany, Miss Gates returned to American and secured an unimportant position 'with the Metropolitan Opera Company in New York. She had little opportunity to show her ability until last spring, when the famous soprano, Mine Culur-Curel, was unable to fill her important engagements in the East. Miss Gates took Galli-Curel's place at an hour's notice, at the Newark, N. J. festival, and made such a success that she was immediately engaged for the other four concerts in Galli-Curel's place.
Snow Zoology Club will meet in the basement of Snow Hall, Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Tea will be served and there will be a lecture by Mrs. Douthitt.
Since that time Miss Gates' fame has spread all over the country. Her Tee for recitals has been almost doubled within the year, and practically all of her time is now engaged for the coming year.

Announcements
All K. U. Traditions Smashed: Woman Runs For Senior President
Caucus of Women Arranged First Senior Ticket In
Field
Senior politics has appeared on the campus in spite of the S. A. T. C. and quarantine. A senior ticket has been announced with Louise Nixon, president, Tracey Conklin, vice-president, Ethore Moore, secretary, and Margaret Ung, treasurer, class electors will hold the held at 12 or 12, George DeVoe, vice-president of the Men's Student council has announced.
Instead of a ticket made up of men by men with a woman or two put on a ticket and then a man in a ticket put in the field by women appeara with one man as a candidate.
For the first time in the history of the University a woman is running for senior president. Approximately fifty men remain in the senior class and they are either in the medical reserve or the S. A. T. C.
So far no junior caucuses have been held and nothing has been announced by the sophomore or freshman classes. All class elections will be held at the same time. Only three weeks is left for the formation of machine and opposition tickets. Elections this year bid fair to be free from the day before announcement of candidates by posters on the campus.
The fate of the junior prom anom and the soph hop and next year's Jayhawk depends upon the fall elections. Men have held these positions formerly but now the S. A. T. C. doubtless will be on the hill. The hop and the prom must not cost more than $150 a couple according to the Senate ruling made last spring.
Formerly elections were held early, in October. Much doubt was exerted among voters that women men this year as to whether class elections should be held.
W.A.A. Has Two Tickets For Election Next Week
Candidates who have come out on the first ticket are Iron Tien, president; Helen Wagstaff, secretary-treasurer; Jeanette Parkinson, senior representative; Dorothy Dawson, junior representative; Grace Olson, sophomore representative; and Anna Wilhelm, freshman representative.
Tickets for Women's Athletic Association election were announced today. The election will be next week. The A, A, Council will announce the date.
Candidates on the second ticket are Carol Martin, president; Doris Drought, business manager; Ruth Trant, secretary-treasurer; Wealthy Rabbeck, senior representative; Iris Nigg, junior representative; Chuck Nigg, sophomore representative; Florence Chase, freshman representative.

Medics Shiver in Mutti And Wait on Uncle Sam
Now that the weather has turned cold, medical students say the S. A. T. C, but put them in a worse predicament than ever. If they were civilians, they say they could buy a winter suit of clothes, that is civilian clothes, and be comfortable in cool weather. Or, if the y were in the army (active service) they say, they could go ahead and buy a suit of O. D. But the poor medics, in the words of the litterati, are neither fish, fowl nor good red herring. They're neither civilian or soldier, neither in nor out of the S. A. C. The medical course is so expensive they do not wear an on a good suit of wool clothing and then not be permitted to wear it or an O. D. and then have Uncle Sam make up his mind that medics really were not in service and so could not wear an army uniform. So the medics shiver in summer muffi and wait.
Plain Tales From the Hill
"This would make a fine dinner for any chicken," he added as he looked at the spoonful of quartered potatoes were the basic element of the meal.
"Goe, but this is great! We get a fine chicken dinner for nothing," said a hungry S. A. T. C. man at breakfast.
One of the soldiers, speaking of issued Russian rifles, said the other day that he could easily see why the Russians laid down arms.
Instructor: What is molecular weight?
Instructor (later); I thought you folks like chemistry before
S, A, T, C student: It is the weight of molecules in motion.
Instructor (later): I thought you folks had chemistry before.
Same state: No, why. I never saw an atom before I came up here.
The customary tremors and fears of the Thanksgiving turkey have no place this year even though "Turkey Day" is but two days distant. The Liberty Bond drive, War Work campaigns, one dollar gas, and the turkey season are all made easier when we have united to make his life particularly safe among the perils of war.
Several men were in the street in front of the barracks smoking and counting over their woes. An automobile drove up in the dark and three men stopped out. One of the smokers jumped towards them and shouted, "There are people in a gloom of light caught the three strangened outets." They were officers.
The Aggie cow, which is scheduled to appear on McCook Field Thursday, is not the same kind of "cow" served on breakfast food at the barracks. Some students contend it is weaker.
Aggie Rally to Break Wednesday 6:30 iff Gym
Army and Navy Prepares to Remove Robinson
Roof
A new-fashioned, old-fashioned, war time, peace time love feast will be hold in Robinson Gymnasium Wednesday night from 6:30 to 7:50 o'clock, to stir up enthusiasm for the Thanksgiving game with the Aggies.
There is plenty of enthusiasm—witness the rally last Friday. The army and navy are ready to remove the roof from Robinson, and that’s to be the Wednesday Liaison to the New Wednesday, managing the love feast, and on the job to see that this rally is a real one. It’s coming off at 6:30, and the whole University will be there. This is your chance to help crush the Aggies.
K.U. Faculty May Decide On Budget System Today
There will be no "secret diplomacy," as the President would say, if the budget system is approved and instituted. Each professor and instructor will know how much his colleagues are spending. If the scheme is adopted today, a budget committee will be appointed at the meeting.
If the College faculty decides at its metting which is to be held in Room 104, Snow Hall at 4:30 o'clock can adopt the budget system, it will mean publicity of all bills allowed in the various departments. All the salaries and funds appropriated for college students in the college will be made public.
University Health Good With Few Flu Patients Says Dr. S.J.Crumbine
Flareup of Disease Has Not Taken Place Here as at Other Schools
All Must Still Be Careful
Dr. Clark, City Health Officer, Agrees That Situation Is Clear
"Health conditions at the University apparently are satisfied," said Dr. S. J. Crumbine, dean of the School of Medicine and secretary of the state board of health. Doctor William told them today on a regular visit to the University and for conference with Chancellor Strong and Dr. Marvin T. Sudler.
"There was a 'flaurpe' of influenza at Emporia and the schools and theaters had to be closed again Monday," said Doctor Crumbine. "The same condition has developed at Leavenworth and at Atchison, where schools and theaters were closed today. Lawrence, however, seems to be in good condition, so far as I have been able to iudre."
DR. CRUMBINE CAUTIONS
Doctor Crummie repeated his cautioning of last week as a method of preventing a return of the epidemic: "If you feel badly," said he, "go to bed and call a physician. Don't try to wear out any apparent trifling illness. If it is only a slight cold stay at home; better, go to bed until you are better. Don't attempt to diagnose your own case. Many of the fatalities of the recent epidemic were among robust persons who tried to wear out the disease and who did not take care of themselves.
"Above all things, do not go to church, to the theater or to school if you are feeling badly. As a neighborly duty, as a piece of good citizenry, as an instructor, as an engency and fair play, stay away from all gatherings if you feel badly."
SLEIGHT INCREASE IN TOWN
“There has been only a slight increase in the number of influenza cases in Lawrence during the last few days,” says Dr. A. W. Clark, city health commissioner today. “Only six new cases were reported Friday and Saturday. There is a possibility that the emergency hospital on Mississippi Street may be opened again to care for one family but there is nothing alarming in the situation.” “Apparently the flu epidemic is past among the S. A. T. C. men of Lawrence,” said Lieutenant Allen of the medical department this morning. “Special care is still being taken to prevent any further spreading of the disease but at the present time there are no cases among the men at the barracks. It seems that all the men have been exposed, and, since there are no cases, the danger is apparently past.”
Original of Ding Cartoon Is Given to Department
The original of Jay Norwood Darling's cartoon showing the kaiser buried under the mass of rocks typifying the registration of the men 18 to 46, has been sent to the department of journalism by Glondon Allvine, a graduate of the department. The newspaper is based in New York Tribune and associated newspaper and bears Darling's signature, J. N. Ding.
Alvine is now employed on the New York Tribune, where Darling is cartoonist. Darling gave the original story to Mr. Schmidt, and he sent it on in the department here.
The cartoon is now on display in the journalism library.
Song Dedicated to S. A, T. C.
The University Band will play for the first time, on Thanksgiving Day, the new S. A. T. C. marching song, written by J. C. McCanes, director of the University Band. The march is dedicated to the S. A. T. C. and the band has been practicing upon it for some time.
