S. A. T.C.Men Will Have Longer Periods For University Work
Military Authorities Say No K.
P. Except Early In
Morning
Officers Let Up On Drill
Men Can Study From 10 a. m.
Until 9:30 p. m. Under
New Ruling
At a meeting of University and Military authorities held last night, provisions were made for enlisted men in the S. A. T. C. to have unharmed opportunity for study. The hours from 10 o'clock in the morning until 9:30 at night have been reserved for study only, and the only drill which will be continued is the 7:30 to 9:30 period in the morning.
The supervised study period from 7:30 to 9:00 o'clock at night will be retained, but the men will not bt expected to rise when their lieutenants come into the barnracks during that period. No man will have to do kitchen police or study his drill regulations during the University study hours from 10 o'clock in the morning until 9:30 at night. This ruling means that all the military duties will have to be performed in the early morning period.
The military authorities have also made a further provision so that the men may have more time for study, in the form of a new regulation that there will be no drill at all on Wednesday morning, not even the regular early morning drill.

A survey of men in the barracks
will be made soon under the direction
of Dean Kelly, to ascertain how many
of the men would like to buy folding
chair-desks for study. If a large number
of the men can arrange to buy
these desks, study in the barracks will
be greatly facilitated. It is hard for
the men to work in the barracks now,
without any equipment for such work.
Dramatic Club Wants Company of Recruits
According to an order sent out by Gen. Robert Rees, chairman of the committee on education, no more men will be transferred from the S. A. T. C. here to other training camps. The men will be kept here by the government for one year's education. Men who do not wish to remain in the service will probably be given an honorable discharge.
in the S. A.
A committee made up of members from the club will be appointed to choose plays and material for a series of entertainments to be given during the year. One entertainment will probably be given each month in the Little Theatre in Green Hall.
NUMBER 20.
At a meeting of the K. U. Dramatic Club last night, it was decided to post notices on all bulletin boards in the barracks announcing try-outs for entrance to the club. New men will be needed this year as most of the old members have gone, and it is expected that some good material will be found in the S. A. T. C.
Class Elections Delayed
No arrangements have been made with reference to the class elections for the current school year. The Men's Student Council has had charge of the elections in former years, and should that body organize sufficiently this year, it is probable that they will again take over that work. With the exception of men in the Reserves and women members, all of the officers of last year are in the army.
New Heating Plant
The building which is being put up west of Blake Hall is to be a fan room. Blake Hall is not on the heating circuit which supplies the other buildings, but it will now be heated by this separate plant, from which the heat will be fanned up into the building.
Professor Briggs at Lexington
Professor Briggs at Leamington Prof. E. M. Briggs, commending officer of military drill at KU, last year, has accepted a position as military instructor in the Wentworth Military Academy at Lexington, Mo.
Museum Gets New Collection
A shipment of about five-hundred assorted birds' eggs, has been received at the Museum, from a collection belonging to H. W. Rhea of Kansas City, Mo.
Later Returns Confirm Passage of Income Bill
Further unofficial returns on the vote for the permanent income bill, gathered by Homer Talbott, secretary of the Kansas League of Municipalities, confirm earlier reports that the measure has been approved by the state of Kansas by a vote of at least two to one.
two to one.
In *Iowa County*, "said Mr. Talbott, "where there are no state colleges, and the voters are rather conservative, the vote was two to one in favor of the amendment. Salina County favored the measure by at least three to one. Wyandotte County gave it a good majority. Returns from other localities indicate the adoption of the measure."
"indications are, too, that the amendment requiring that voters be American citizens, has been passed," said Mr. Talbott.
Chemical Society Pays Tribute to Dr.J.H.Long, Early Graduate of K.U.
Dr. F. B. Dains Speaks at Memorial for Late Instructor at Northwestern
Dr. F. B. Dains left Thursday night for Chicago to give an address this evening at a memorial meeting for Dr. John Harper Long, given under the auspices of the Chicago section of the American Chemical Society and the Chicago Institute of Medicine, of which Dr. Long was president. He was one of the earliest founders of the Chicago section of the American Chemical Society.
Dr. Dains' subject will be "Dr. Long, Teacher and Chemist." Dr. Julius Stlegitz of the University of Chicago will give an address on "The Relation of Dr. Long to Medicine."
Richard At the time of his death, June 14, 1871, Dr. Long was professor of chemistry in Northwestern University. Dr. Long was born near Steubenville Ohio, in December, 1856. He was graduated from the University of Kansas in 1877, and was one of the first men to specialize in chemistry here. Later he studied at Tuebingen, Germany, receiving the degree of doctor of science in 1879. In 1881 he was appointed professor of chemistry in the medical School of Northwestern University.

He served as president of the American Chemical Society in 1903 and as president of the Institute of Medicine of Chicago in 1917. During the period of 1913-1917 he was dean of the school of pharmacy of Northwestern University. He was the author of many textbooks on chemistry.
An article by Dr. Long was printed in the Kansan Chemallurgist in April, 1917, "When Science Was Young on Mt. Oread," in which he describes the early struggles of science to gain a footing on the "Hill."

Architectural Society Organizes for New Year
For the coming year the society plans to hold regular meetings at which will be discussed topics of interest to the members. It is planned also to have lectures by professors and others on subjects related to architecture.
The next meeting of the society will be held within the next two weeks, and will be the annual "mixer," to which all freshman in the department are expected to come.

General Rees Expects
S. A. T. C. To Continue
Chancellor Telis of Flans Discussed at University Conference In Chicago
The S. A. T. C. probably will continue under military discipline until June, according to plans discussed at the Conference of state universities held in Chicago, said Chancellor Frank Strong who has returned from the meeting.
General Robert L. Rees, chairman of the War Department's committee on education and special training, stated at the conference that the probable plan of the government will be to continue the education of S. A. T. C. men this year, with the view of training them as citizens rather than as army men and officers. Accordingly, the men are to be elected their work during the second course of the year, and the present courses in military work will not be compulsory after December 21. Eleven hours of military drill a week will be required, General Rees believes.
An awkward squad or rather several of them because of the number assigned to it has been established in each battalion of Company F. Week-end passes will be denied to all men who are put in this squad because of their poor work in drill.
Barracks Barrage
Philip L. Levi has been transferred from Company I to Company F, and assigned to duty in the Personnel Adjutant's office.
Three snappy matches were held Wednesday evening in Barracks 65 by the members of Company F. Sherman I. Hicks vs. W. F. Cochran, Hicks vs. Ralph Brigham and Rollin Poe vs. Edward C. Maxwell were the entertainers.
Company F held two raffles to send men to Lincoln tonight. The winners were George L. Winditt, and D. D. Bramwell. A large number of the company plan to go.
Company F began eating in its mess hall Tuesday evening. Woe to the gamblers—Mess Sergeant Larabee's first orders say every man must wash his own dishes.
Miss Claribel Lpton returned Wednesday from Washington where she has been doing government_work.
Cafeteria Accommodates Students and Teachers As Well as Soldiers
Much Needed Commons Has Service and Not Profit As Aim
The cafeteria of the Hostess House, opened this week on the second floor of Myers Hall, is for the accommodation of all faculty members, students, and employees of the University, as well as for military men, according to Miss Hazel Allen, instructor in home economics, and business manager of the cafeteria.
Miss Alberta Corbin, dean of women, who was present at the lunchon given at the cafeteria Wednesday for Mrs. Katherine Eddy, said this morning:
"The food is well-served and delicious, and the surroundings are pleasant. The caterafer promises to be the equal of those in such institutions as the University of Michigan and the University of Wisconsin."
It has long been the dream of University people to establish a University commons here, and many attempts have been made to do so.
The cafeteria now is managed by the department of home economics, and according to Miss Allen, can give exceptional service and values because of student help.
Prof. M, W. Sterling of the department of Greek language and literature, recalls several such attempts. "They were always made by business men," he said, "and carried on in such a way that it entailed some sacrifice on the part of those who ate at those places. They were run for profit, with no idea of service, and were failures."
Today and Saturday dinner will be served from 5:30 to 7 o'clock.
Monday lunchmen will be served from 11:30 to 1 o'clock and from 4 to 5:30 o'clock and dinner will be served from 5:30 to 7 o'clock.

University Hospital Has Only One Patient
The University Hospital announced this morning that the hospital is the emptiest it has been since school first began. They have only one patient, and he is a convulser.
So far as the hospital has been notified, there has been no influenza among the women or non-S. A. T. C.men, since school re-opened
The hospital also announces that there will be a physician's office every Saturday from now on, from 8:30 to 9:30.
Plain Tales From the Hill
The day of Women's independence has dawned. A waiter recently asked a University couple if they wanted "it" all on one neck.
Not a half bad suggestion was made the other morning by a puffing girl desperately trying to make the Fourteenth Street hill on high. She suggested a rope running on pulleys, from Ohio to Louisiana, to which the fair ones might cling. Since the S. A. T. C. mechanics haven't anything else to do (?) can they help out a bit?
Friday has come. The week-end is here. But there is not the exuberant feeling that used to be prevalent on Friday. Figure it out for yourself.
The S. A. T. C. men are digging up liberally for the war campaign, and they don't miss the money. What makes 'em feel bad are those half-dollars they lost in the raffles for tickets to Lincoln.
Green Hall still has its charms, even though the laws don't decorate the steps between classes as of yore. A timid girl who had to go to a dramatic art class found five others who were willing, even anxious, to escort her within the portals. Military headquarters are every bit at attractive as the School of Law.
The war has changed K. U, greatly,
but there was one thing even the war
couldn't do—eliminate the word
"keen."
If you saw a girl reporter down at the burracks the other day don't fancy that she is short-haired and strong-minded. No men are holding down this great family daily this year, and when she received the assignment, it had to be done. At that, she probably didn't enjoy it half as much as the K. U. army did.
A lot of people have said disparaging things about the W. S. G. A.
But now that board has redeemed itself.
There will be Haley music at the W. S. G. A. dance Saturday night.
All Influenza Cases Taken to Infirmary
Joseph Liggett of Almena, Dies of Pneumonia at Sunshine Hospital
Barracks 1, which has been used for the most severe cases during the influenza epidemic, has been cleared out, and is now being fumigated preparatory to moving Company A in tomorrow. Company A has been occupying Barracks 5 for the past few weeks.
There are now twenty cases in the S. A. T. C. infirmary. Eleven of these cases are convalescent, and were moved out of Barracks I Thursday. The cases which were still serious were moved into the Sunshine Hospital.
Joseph C. Liggett, 22 years old, died Thursday of pneumonia. He is the son of Jesse W. Liggett of Almena, and a member of the third vocational section in the telegraphy division.
Entire Band to Lincoln:
43 Men to Play for Game
Director J. C. McCalles and the band will leave Friday night for Lincoln, Neb. to play at the Kansas-Nebraska game on Saturday. The entire band of forty-three pieces will go. The band is made up entirely of S. A. T. C. men. They have been having plenty of practice later, for in addition to the three times of regular practice a week, they are called out on an average of twice a day to play for some event on the Hill or at the barracks.
Dorothy Brother, c'10 and Mildred Deets, c'20, will go to Linecoln tonight, and be guests at the Alpha Chi Omega house there.
Haskell Scrimmage Shows Improvement In University's Team
Players In Good Condition to Meet Nebraska at Lincoln Saturday
No Prediction on Outcome
In Past Twenty-four Years Kansas Has Won Nine Times, With 163 Points
The University of Kansas football team showed up well in their scrimmage with the Haskell Indians on McCook Field yesterday afternoon. The Jayhawkers made consistent gains through the Indian line and around the ends and ran good interference. "Stem" Foster got away good and made several long runs.
The Kansas team has improved since their last scrimmages with the Indians, and the Kansas line held. The Indians drove through the line and around the ends at will earlier in the season. All of the Kansas players are in good condition and will have no alibi if they lose at Lincoln Saturday. The men will make no predictions as the Huskies or the Rams compete in the conference. This season Nebraska have played good ball, defeating the Omaha Balloon School easily and losing to the veteran Hawkeyes by a low score.
The Huskers will be without the speedy Schellenberg, but Lonberg's absence from the Kansas line will off-set the halfback's absence. The Kansas team is weak at ends this year. Several men are being tried out in that position, and the players are at those positions Saturday. Coach Bond has no predictions as to the outcome of the game and Manager Hamilton is at Princeton.
"Kansas' green players were not equal to solving the wild, wide open system of aerial attack. The inexperienced Kansas players also let the Sooners through to block punts.
NEBRAASKA LOOKS FOR HARD GAME
According to a dispatch in the Thursday night Kansas City Star, Assistant Coach Paul Schissler of Nebraska, after witnessing the Kansas-Oklahoma game, declared the score was not a proper measure of the Kansas team.
"Nebraska was up against the same thing which the Cornhuskers lost to the Hawkeyes. We have lost several valuable players lately, yet Nebraska would like nothing better than to tackle Iowa in a post season game.
“Regardless of the size of the Oklahoma score, the Cormhuskers are looking forward to a battle royal with the Jayhawkers. Kansas never fails to fight hard against Nebraska.”
The Kansas and Nebraska football teams have met 24 times since 1892, and the Huskers have won 15 of the contests and made a total score of 293 to the Jayhawkers' 163. There were no games in 1904 and 1905. The Huskers have had the edge on the Kansans in the last ten years.
