Prospect For Leaves Looks Rathor Gloomy For S.A.T.C. Command
Twenty-four and 48-hour Passes May Follow Lifting of Quarantine
In compliance with orders issued by the War Department there can be no leave of absences granted to class I A men in the student army training corps. This order went into effect as soon as the quarantine war placed over the S, A, T, C. at the University. Because of the number of the S, A, T, C. has been permitted to leave the University for any reason, it is said.
After the present quarantine is lifted week-end passes may be issued to a small percentage of the men each week. The passes probably will be for twenty-four or 48-hour leave. The granting of the passes will be entirely in the hands of Captain Bruno T. Scher, commandant.
"No reason was given by the committee on education for refusing furugles or leaves to the class 1-A men," said Lieutenant Madden this morning. "The action was probably taken before they were transferred with the training the men were to receive before they were transferred to other canes."
No orders have been received as to whether or not Thanksgiving and Christmas will be observed as holidays for the men in the student army training corps, according to Lieutenant Madden. As is customary, the War Department will issue orders to this effect a short time before the holidays. It is believed that no vacation will be given the men on either occasion. Drills and formations probably will be dispensed with for the day only from the present outlook. It seems that the men in the S. A. T. C. will spend Turkey day and Christmas in the university camp.
"There's no use for any man to ask for lourghouse or leaves," said Lieutenant Madden, "for there ain't no in the student army training corps."
Sport Beams
The Missouri-Nebraska game which is scheduled for Saturday at Columbia, Mo., has been cancelled because of the flu epidemic at M. U. This leaves two games on the Tiger schedule, one with Washington University and the annual Thanksgiving game with the University of Kansas here.
James Mott, the K. U. center, formerly played on the Baker University eleven and is an all state man. Mott is a good defensive player.
The College of Emporia defeated the Ottawa eleven 22 to 0 Tuesday through the brilliant playing of Welsh and Little.
The Kansas City, Mo., high school football teams will play their first round of games Saturday if the city board of health will permit. The players have been practicing three weeks during the epidemic.
Dotson, the crack basketball forward, who worked so well for the Newton highs in the tournament here last spring is at the University and enlisted with the naval section.
Roy Pringle of Harveyville, high point man in the high school track and field meet here last spring, is here and drilling with the army aviators. Pringle is a good man on the gridiron.
Convocation to Open Drive For War Work Fund From University
Percy Atkins, Y. M. C. A. Secretary in France, is Expected To Be Speaker
A convoitation will be held next Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 to acquaint the students of the University with the work of the various organizations participating in the United War Work Drive, which will commence next week. Prof. U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the War Finance Committee of the University, announced today that Percy Atkins, who has been with the Y. M. C.-A. for several months as a secretary in France, will probably be the speaker. It is not planned to take pledges to the fund at the convoication, as a special canvass will be made later. In addition, Mr. A. C. of the Kansas-Oklahoma game to be played Saturday will go toward this fund, it was announced by Manager Hamilton Tuesday.
Hamilton Will Attend Sports Training Camp
K. U. Manager of Athletics Ap pointed Sectional Director of Athletic Work
W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics, will leave Saturday for Princeton, N. J., under orders of the War Department, to report for intensive training in community athletic work. Mr. Hamilton was ordered last week in telegraphic instructions from the War Department to report at Princeton November 10. No further explanation went with the message. In reply to inquiries by Mr. Hamilton the War Department advised him he had been appointed sectional athletic director for this part of the country, whatever that may be, and was wanted at Princeton for two weeks intensive training in community athletic work
"That's all I know about it," Mr. Hamilton said. "I don't know the nature of the work I'm to take there, but I understand that when I return in two weeks I am to have a meeting of the athletic directors in this region and give them the same training that will be given the directors who have seen ordered to Princeton."
No, the men in the barracks are not diggin' in." The trench in front of the barracks is nothing more than the itch for an ordinary water main.

Y., before November 15, Postmaster C. C. Seewir, announced today. No order signed by commanders is required for the navy men, according to instructions from Washington.

Hostess House is Asking For Phonograph Records
A call for phonograph records to be used at the Hostess House was made today. The Hostess House has a good machine, but not more than twenty records, most of which were donated by the public, are available. Between fifty and sixty men, chiefly from Seco- turity in the Northwest, stayd during the hours of liberty, and the few records have been played till nearly threadbare.
"What the boys like most is noisy pieces," said one of the women in charge of the Hostess House this morning. "They seem never to weary of orchestra selections and instrumental pieces, but do not care much for the vocal records unless they are of popular songs. Harry Lauder is popular, and so are quartettes of all kinds."
Harry H. Evans Dead
Harry H. Evans of Cleveland, son of Mrs. Ellen Evans, died at Barracks 1 Tuesday night of bronchial pneumonia. Mr. Evans was enlisted with the vocational section.

We Had a Spread Last Night
The girls came down and I used my new electric grill. I can cook almost anything on it and the girls are just crazy about it. Do you remember how we used to fuss around with an alcohol chafing dish, and how sometimes it would not work, and sometimes it would get on fire, and very often we were out of alcohol?
Well, it is altogether different with the grill and say, I wish you could have been there. We had such good eats, welsh rarebit and hot buttered toast, and piping hot coffee. Next time we are going to have creamed lobster, but we can have anything we want for the possibilities of the grill are almost unlimited.
