K. U. Band to Enliven Military and Athletic Activities on Campus
Music May Be Provided for Guard Mount, Reveille and Retreat
A brighter side of military life promises to dawn soon on the University of Kansas campus, with the passing of the quarantine periods, and no small part of the renewed activity will be owing to the University band, under the direction of J. C. McCanles.
Beginning tonight, the band will play for guard mount, and possibly will play for that ceremony every night that it is practicable for it to do so. In addition, the band will perform ceremonies and parades, and also for all athletic events. Probably the band will play at reville and at retreat formations.
The band will not be a separate military unit and can not therefore be called a regimental band, and there will be no military instructor. Mr. McCannes will give the drill instruction as well as the musical training.
The epidemic of Spanish influenza has broken into the practices pretty badly and has held up the work quite a bit, but things are going a lot faster now, according to Mr. McCannes. The membership of the band is forty-three. Last Saturday's practice brought out thirty-five men and last Tuesday's practice brought out thirty-three. This is a great improvement over the former practices. Inoculations have also kept some men from coming out.
Mr. McCanes said that he understood that several good band men had not reported for try-outs because they were afraid the band work would interfere with their chances of going to an officers' training camp. This will not be the case, however, as our tain Sker has said that men will be picked from other organizations. As fast as men are taken from the band, new try-outs will be held and new men will be found to fill the vacancies.
"We have a crackerjack of a good band this year and it will fully measure up to the standards of former Kauai Director
Former K. U. Fullback Wins Praise From a Missouri Alumnus
Pringle Stars in Army Game at Florida Camp
Pringle, former Jayhawk star full-back, was the star of a game at Camp Johnston, Jacksonville, Fla., recently between an officers' training school team, of which he was a member, and the team of Motor Transport Company No. 395. An alumnus of the University of Missouri pays tribute to the Jayhawk player in the following letter to The Kansan and in a clipping from the Jacksonville Times-Union, who he inclosures:
"I'm enclosing a clipping taken from the Jacksonville, (Florida). Times-Union, which tells of the part your former fullback played in a game here at Camp Sunday morning. I thought possibly you might be interested. He was, in my estimation, the star of the game at the Missouri-Kansas game at Columbia last year and I couldn't help admiring his charges against the M. U. line even if it did cost me fifty bucks."
"A Missouri Alumnus." The clipping referred to reads flam boyantly:
Like the Roman hero in the chariot race, he came forth from the mass of gridiron gladiators to turn defeat into victory. With only two minutes to play and the score 12 to 6, he tore through the opposing line like a shell from a 42-centimetre gun. He sped over the field for two brilliant gains and then executed a wonderful 30-yard forward pass to Kelly, the O. T. S. end, for a touchdown.
With airplanes sweeping the sky and four-thousand khaki-clad fans cheering wildly, the football aggregation of the officers' training school defeated Motor Transport Company No. 395 Sunday morning on the main field in the rear of the guard house. The score was 13 to 12.
Pringle, the former fullback of Kansas State University, was the star of the game. Without his sensational work the O. T. S. never could have hoped to win.
The crowd was keyed to its highest pitch. The shouts that went up came from the throats of football-maddened hosts. No more memorable game will ever be played by soldiers anywhere in the United States, because
the mind can scarcely picture a more thrilling finish to a truly wonderful game.
One crisis came at the tail end to the contest. It was here the man of the hour was needed. Away in Kansas the home folks were probably reading the story of how the dustladen Yankers were battering the German line. They didn't know that at that very moment a native son had 4,000 pairs of military eyes riveted upon him. The score stood 12 to 12. Long and sleek, with the limbs of an athlete and the strategy of a tilted head, the distance between the goal posts and the ball. Then with an unfaltering aim he booted the oval and sent it soaring high over the posts. It was a beautiful kick and the one needed to bring the bacon.
The breathless silence that rested over the field was broken by an innense shriek that swelled into a wave of deafening noise. The wind must have been coming from Georgia state line. When the storm died saved the score card read:
Officers' Training School 13, Motor Transport Co., No. 395, 12.
Student Soldiers Vote
In General Election
Ballots Will Be Sent to Home Counties to be Counted— Polls Open All Day
About 170 men from the Students' Army Training Corps, voted at the polls in the first floor corridor of the Museum Tuesday. Most of the voters were members of the vocational training section.
The polls remained open until 6 o'clock. Men from the S. A. T. C. were detailed to act as judges and clerks at the election. The ballots contained the names of the national and state candidates, and the amendments to the constitution and had blanks in which were to be written county candidates.
The ballots will be sent to the home precincts of the voters to be counted. Only about seventy-five men in Section A of the S. A. T. C. were old enough to vote, but a majority of Section B men were eligible.
Neckies Not Allowed
In S.A.T.C. Costumes
Bronze Hat Cords Are Authorized for Use of Student Soldiers
Black ties, worn by soldiers at most cantitons, are taboos at the University, according to recent announcements from headquarters. Officers have been instructed to be on the watch for men wearing the black ties, as well as other uniforms before the order was issued. Ribbon bands must be cut off army hats.
Even a mar in civilian clothing wearing a khaki shirt can not put on the decoration. Pinning up the shirt collar is also forbidden, this being done by many men who have loose-fitting shirts and by others merely for wearing it.
White shirts may be worn by the men under their blouses, but they must be kept out of sight. White projections above the blouse are taboos.
Bronze hat cords have been authorized and issued to the student soldiers on the Hill.
Men who have put on the army uniforms, either purchased or issued, are forbidden to wear civilian clothing. Those who have not been issued clothing and have not purchased any have been ordered to report for drill wearing as nearly a regulation uniform as they can muster.
Miss Katherine Duffield, secretary of the University Y. W. C. A. announced this morning that the association will be opened for regular work next Monday.
Unofficial returns from four precincts of the state show a vote of three to one for the permanent income tax amendment. Many did not vote on the two constitutional amendments in these precincts. These incomplete returns indicate that the amendment has carried, according to Homer Talbot, secretary-treasurer of the League of Kansas Municipalities.
Oregon Bans Inter-State No interstate debating contests will be held this year by the University of Oregon since the student body has ruled against all long trips which are not self-supporting. Intercollegiate contests within the state, however, will take place.
Talbot Says Income Amendment Has Won
French Classes Large;
Interest Truly Great,
Declares Miss Galloo
Instructors Are 'Drafted' From Other Departments to Meet War Emergency
The department of Romance Languages has added ten instructors to its staff in order to meet the demands of students for instruction in French.
First among the new teachers is M. Robert Mahieu, exchange professor from the University of Paris, Monsieur Mahieu came direct from France, and says that French Universities have not suffered so seriously from the war as have the universities in other countries. This is because a university in France is composed entirely of graduate students, many of whom are beyond military age. Mr. Mahieu teaches advanced courses and war French here.
Other new instructors in War French are Prof. Frank Kendrie and Prof. C. S. Skilton of the School of Fine Arts, Mrs. H. C. Thurnau, Mr. Jose Osma of the department of Hispanic Languages, Dr. L. Owens, Miss Mary Johns, Miss Margaret. Husson, Noele Carman.
"Never have I seen such great interest in the French classes; never such large enrollment; never so fine spirit," said Miss Eugenie Galloo, head of the department of French at the University.
Even with these additional faculty members it is impossible to offer French to the men of the S. A. T. C. who are under twenty years old. Only the older men, being subject to early graduation, are equally likely to study the language this term.
"In every one of the three beginning classes the students are taking hold of the work in a most unusual way. Interest in things French may account for a part of the earnestness of the students, but I think a greater part, more particularly among the young men of the class, is due to the belief that many of those who are now students, in a short time, will be having need for the language in the war regions.
"The beginning classes were filled the first day, and had to be 'closed.' We have made every effort to take care of all the students. We have drafted two instructors from the department of Spanish and two from the English, to assist with some of the courses, and we have added new instructors, but even at that the faculty of the department is crowded with work."
Subscribers to the Daily Kansasan who have moved to the barracks or otherwise changed their addresses must report the change at once to insure delivery of the paper. Subscribers in the barracks should see that lists containing their names are sent to this office. No one can fail to realize that with such wholesale moving about as has taken place at the University this year, the circulation manager's job is almost an impossible one. But with the right kind of co-operation from subscribers good service can be maintained. In many case where non-receipt of the paper is traceable to the fault of Kansan employees, proper extension of the subscription term will be made or satisfactory adjustment.

All Princeton Editors In Service; Papers Stop
All Princeton undergraduate publications have suspended publication for the duration of the war. They include the Daily Princetonian, the campus newspaper of which President Wilson was managing editor in his student days; the Nassau Literary Magazine, the second oldest college publication in the country, established in 1842, and the Princeton Tiger, the college humorous magazine. The editors are enlisted either in the Princeton naval training unit or the student army training corps.
On Other Hills
The fraternity houses at the University of Indiana are to be used as temporary barracks until the governmental barracks are finished and before they will be accepted as fit places for housing men, the regular military requirements applying to army barracks must be met.
According to the Evening Missourian of Columbia there is a movement afoot to have only one church service on Sunday evenings this winter and that to be a union service, in the interest of coal conservation.
Fifty-two French girls, who have been appointed by the French government to take courses in American universities, have arrived in the United States, and have enrolled at the University of Minnesota, University of Washington, Grimnell College, Oakland College and Colorado College.
After the statement of Captain Rudd that fraternities as a social clique have no place in military organization, the Colorado College authorities have prohibited pledging, the rule going into effect October 1.
The decrease in farm labor is smaller than some had expected. Dean E. C. Johnson of the Kansas State Agricultural College reports. The farm labor supply will be not more than 25 to 35 per cent short of normal even by next summer.
