Rev. Harry Markley, Recently Returned from France Chief Speaker
Captain Scher on Program
Soliciting of Funds to Begin Thursday—Three Committees Required
The convoitation in the interest of the War Work Campaign will begin in Robinson Gymnasium at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Rev. Harry M. Markley, the speaker of the afternoon, will be introduced by Prof. U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the war finance committee of the University faculty.
Rev. Mr. Markley will speak to the students on behalf of the War Work Campaign. He will tell what the other colleges and universities have done for the campaign, and the vital necessity to raise the fund as soon as possible. Rev. Mr. Markley has just returned from France.
Capt. B. T. Scher also will speak. The University band will play while the audience is assembling.
The soliciting of subscriptions will begin on the campus tomorrow, separate committees calling upon the women students, the men, and the faculty and employees of the University.
Correspondence Classes Have Largest Number
The enrollment in correspondence work at the University is larger this year than in former years, according to H. G. Ingham, secretary of the correspondence department. More correspondence students enrolled in October than in any other month.
"The enrollment in the correspondence courses this year is made up of students who are unable to attend the University because of war conditions and of school teachers who are idle because of the influenza epidemic over the state," said Mr. Ingham. These students are taking English courses more than others because they are required at the University and are easier studied than the languages.

W.S.G.A. Will Manage All Varsity Dances; First One Saturday
Freshman Representatives Will Be Elected November 22
At the regular meeting of the W, S. G. A. held last night, arrangements were made for the first Varsity dance to be given under the management of this organization. The舞会 will be given at F. A. U. Hall Saturday night from 7:30 to 10:30 o'clock. These hours will be in strict conformity with the military ruling that all S. A. T. C. men be in their barracks at 11 o'clock Saturday night.
★
The authorized Varsity dances have formerly been managed by the Men's Student Council. This year, as it is impossible for that organization to give its time, because of the military regime, the work has been taken over by the women's organization. All profits from these dances will be used to promote the co-operation house plan at K. U. The W. S. G. A. hopes to make enough money to furnish the first co-operative house.
The Student Book Exchange, which was operated by the W. S. G. A., the first week that the University opened will pay out all money obtained through the sale of books Friday, November 15, at the Book Exchange office in the center of Fraser Hall from 10 to 12 o'clock and from 1 to 4 p.m. You may also be able to book books to be sold must call for their books or their money at that time, because that will be the only opportunity to get them.
Two freshman representatives to the W. S. G. A. board will be elected by freshmen women of the University, Friday, November 22. All petitions of freshmen women who wish to be candidates for these offices must be in the hands of Katherine Fulkerson, secretary of the W. S. G. A., by Tuesday night, November 19.
Students Urged to Finish Inoculation for Typhoid
Those in charge of the University Hospital are urging all students who received one or two shots for inoculation for typhoid before vaccination to report at once so the inoculation can be completed and not have to be begun again. The hours during which inoculations are given are on Wednesday from 9 to 12 and from 2 to 5 for University women. All men students who are not members of the S. A. T. C. may be inoculated at any time during the above hours on Thursday. Three shots are required for a complete inoculation.
Those who have received no inoculation are urged to come to the University hospital as soon as possible and do so. Vaccination for small-pox will be given to any students desiring it at any time.
"I IGives me the greatest pleasure to testify that the work has been conducted upon the broadest lines of service, not merely to the gallant soldiers of the army of the great Republic of the West, but to all they could assist. The high quality of character of those conducting this work needs no praise, but I affirm that in my opinion it would have been impossible to have afforded the boys that inspiration and succor they need—and which they so richly deserve—without your efforts.

UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN
FOR THE BOYS OVER THERE
Marshal Foch Arrives; WeighsOnly 10 Pounds
Marshal Foch arrived in Lawrence, Tuesday, the day after the armistice imposed upon the Huns went into effect. Marshal Foch was attended by his personal staff consisting of a physician and a nurse, and arrived with no other baggage than his surname of Hills. In his blanket he weighed ten pounds. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Hills of 1726 Kentucky Street. Mr. Hills is a senior on the Hill and is a member of Company G.
Plain Tales From the Hill
A freshman rooky slipped out and dashed across the street to the canteen the other night. All went well till he started back, when a guard with a menacing piece of Bolshevik artillery stopped him.
"Halt!" said the guard. "Who's there?"
"Private Blank," quavered the freshman.
"Advance, Private Bank," and "be recognized," came back the sentry. "it," was the rocky answer. "I have nothing to be recognized by."
The kind ladies who have been singing for the doughtybos in one of the barracks were going down the stairs at the close of the program. One of the men overheard one of them sigh and remark: "So young! And offering up their lives for their country."
She said it as though she meant it too.
There is nothing to do in Spooner Library these fine nights but study.
"The Glad Hand Awails You At Brick's" says an advertisement in the Kansan. The glad hand of the cashier, we dare say.
In view of the fact that so many S. A. T. C. men are leaving for training camps, the business department of this paper will be glad to conduct a want ad column for unattached young women. Our regular rates are reasonable.
The 800 block on Kentucky Street with the uneven brick walk, will no longer be so treacherous now that the varsity dances are to end at 10:30 o'clock instead of 12:00, and there will still be illumination of the streets.
Now speaking of the weather—gee, it's great to have days like these days, providing you are a plain, ordinary human being and not a social throwback of a deposed and self-dishonored autocrat or borshelevist with a soul so crooked and a vision so forgot that he cannot tell simple right from wrong. Just to stand on the Hill in the sunshine and look across the valley. Just to have the gold of the sunshine, the silver of the rain, and the work that is to hand. Aw, gee, fellers, it's great.
We said yesterday that the girls had been sleeping twelve hours a night during the vacation. Perhaps you didn't believe it. Here is the proof. One of the sweet young things, tired out from the strenuous day on Mount Oread, got a car last night and rode three times before the conductor had the heart to waken her.
Men who wildly imagine that the S. A. T. C. would quit business this morning, are saddier and wiser by this time. They are still in the service, and are lugging heavy Russian rifles around, besides.
There will always be persons who break out in poetry. But it is better to have them discuss the Kaiser then to write odes to spring and verses on love.
Fine Arts Lessons Go On
Teachers in the School of Fine Arts will make up the private lessons lost by students who went home for the enforced vacation, although private lessons are still taught in town. The class work in the School of Fine Arts will not be so intensified as that on the Hill.
Library Hours as Usual There will be no change in library hours on account of S. A. T. C. study, says Miss Carrie Watson, librarian. All students are welcome to come at all and any times, between 8 a. m. and 10 p. m. is her invitation.
F. E. Kendrie, conductor of the University orchestra, announced today that tryouts will be held Thursday and Friday between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. at Room 401, Frasier Hall.
Do Not Change Courses In Middle of Quarter, Says Dean F. J. Kelly
S. A. T. C. Subjects Will Prove Valuable for Further Work In University
Modifications to be Later
New Policy Will Probably be Worked Out by Next Quarter
Don't try to change classes now. Keep on with the work you've started for this quarter.
To permit changes now would be a waste of time and effort and encourage mediocre work.
The subjects you are studying are fundamental and of high value even if they are not in the line of work you expect to follow.
Also—Uncle Sam still is paying the S. A. T. C. men $20 a month, with clothing and sustenance, and in return Uncle Sam expects S. A. T. C. men to continue in the subjects he has specified until further orders.
The foregoing up-to-mixture and immediately-applicable maxima are being handed out almost every other minute by Dean F. J. Kelly, head of the academic section of the S. A. T. C. to men who have been besieging him asking changes in their courses.
S. A. T. C. SUBJECTS FUNDAMENTAL
"It is radically wrong thinking when a man decides he will be gaining time by dropping his special S. A. T. C work now for the line he intends to follow," said Doctor Kelly. "All these S. A. T. C studies are fundamental. They are of immeasurable value and the man who drops them to take up something else, loses. He loses because, say he starts in a fundamental course in journalism or in pharmacy, he will be substituting an interrupted fragmentary quarter's work for another interrupted fragmentary incomplete quarter's work instead of having a full quarter or semester to get the fundamentals of his subject in he will have only a piece of a quarter and his whole work in that subject in after years will be injured.
"It cannot be impressed too strongly that this S. A. T. C. course of study is valuable. Mathematics and all the rest of it is of much good to any man, no matter what course he expects to pursue in the rest of his University life and thereafter. The man who now gets a 6-week course in map reading and then takes up premedic work had better take that 6-weeks in map work than to take the 6-weeks in pre-medic work for in both courses an effort naturally must be made to crowd the whole 12-week term into six weeks. The map work or any other of this S. A. T. C. work makes a broader and more capable man. He will benefit by it more if he keeps hammering at it until next quarter or until the War Department changes the S. A. T. C. to meet the new conditions.
MEN STILL RECEIVE $30 MONTHLY
"Remember, too, S. A. T. C. men
still are taking $30 a month, sustenance
and clothing from Uncle Sam
for doing this work.
"There is another thing—if we could change courses, as many are demanding, it would cause so much confusion and delay we would lose a week or ten days in the little that is left us in this quarter. We haven't the authority to do it and if we had it would not be good judgment."
Dean Kelly said the War Department undoubtedly would have the future of the S. A. T. C. and the University's part in it worked by next quarter and then students could plan their work more definitely. The following telegram from Washington was printed in morning papers:
The future of the student office's training units in universities and other schools also is now being worked out. Secretary Baker said today that the question of the best way to stop this work with the least disruption to the institutions involved is being considered by the college officials associated with the government in the work and also by the general staff. A poll conducted by the office out, the secretary said, that will turn the colleges back to their regular pursuits as quickly as possible, without causing losses to the institutions.
