Oklahoma University Coming for Contest On McCook Saturday
Team Will Elect Captain Before Going on Field—Laslett in France
The University will play Oklahoma Saturday on McCook Field, W. O Hamilton, manager of athletics, announced this afternoon following a conference with Chancellor Strong.
Immediately before the team goes on the field a captain will be elected to succeed "Scribby Laslett, this year's captain, now in France. There has been no captain selected for the team because virtually there has been no team and will only line-up for the game Saturday. Foster, Lonberg and Jones, the only veterans in the squad, are being mentioned for captain.
The proceeds from the game, except actual expenses, will be given to war work.
Two hundred dollars was raised in a few hours today by Lieut. Frank Cramer, who personally solicited the business men in Lawrence for funds to provide a special training table for the twenty-five men from whom will be chosen the team which will line up against Oklahoma State at McCook field, at McCook field. Lieutenant Cramer undertook the task of raising the money on short notice and the business men responded liberally to the appeal.
University to Resume Its Sessions Monday
University sessions will be resumed Monday, November 11, unless something unforeseen prevents, announced Chancellor Strong this afternoon.
"Dr. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the State Board of Health, and head of the University School of Medicine, was here Tuesday, and inspected everything," said the Chancellor. "If students should not be resumed at that time, I am confident classes will be in session once more, beginning Monday."
Sewing Machine, Electric Iron and Staff of Seamstresses Are at Myers Hall
Mending Room Opens For Rookies' Benefit
The checking tags are printed today, and delay in obtaining them may cause the postponement of the opening. A sewing machine will be installed and an electric iron and an ironing board put in for the use of the rookies. All work will be done free of charge.
The mending room at Myers Hall, the latest addition to the University caused by the war, will be opened to the men some time today. About twenty-five University women have volunteered to do the work of keeping K. U.'s khaki and blue-elad ranks in condition to pass inspection.
It was announced this morning at Myers Hall that socks would be darned at the mending room, provided they were clean. Hats will also be cleaned and the bands kept in trim. The room will be kept open until 7 o'clock at night and sometimes later, and efforts will be made to keep enough women at work so that the clothes may be returned the next day.
The work will be conducted under difficulties after the opening of school and it is likely that because of classes there will be times during the day when no one will be in charge. Clothing may be left with Mrs. Belle Wilmot at the Hostess House in such cases.

McKeever to Write Articles
Prof. William A. McKeever has been asked by the American Red Cross society to write a series of articles appealing for sympathy and co-operation for the vocation adjustment of war cripples. The American casualty list now numbers between sixty and seventy thousand men most of whom recover to such an extent that through educational training they will be self supporting citizens.

Some government blankets were taken to private homes and hospitals in Lawrence for use during the hospital epidemic. Military authorities ask for the return of them now, and want all members of the S. A. T. C. who know where any of the blankets are to give this information to their company commanders.
Women Live Longer,
For They Eat Better
"Boys should study this text book is well as girls," said Denn Templin. "Men are ignorant about the food they eat. Three times a day they take their lives in their hands when they it down to a meal, for they do not now if the food they are about to at is good for them. The book for common schools will give a few of the general principles of nutrition.
He was in Wichita recently in conference with Federal Food Administrator Ilex of Kansas relative to investigators in Kansas book into every school in Kansas.

Plain Tales From the Hill
They are to be seen in practically every one of the buildings, lying or sitting on their bunks. They usually hold books in their hands, and as they read they go through strange motions, writting about on their bunks and waving their arms to and fro. Their lips mutter strange phrases, and their faces bear changing expressions. Oh, no, they aren't delirious, they're just trying to practice the arm signals- and semaphore without standing up.
"Say, sergeant," asked a rooky who is "meat" for the "spoofers" in his particular company, "is it true that you mustn't salute the officer of the day?"
"Good Gee-Whis, man!" exclaimed the sergeant, "where in the world did you ever get such an idea as that? The man you want to salute first of all."
"Well," explained the rooky, "the guys were tellin' me that if he returned your salute it might be a chance for someone to slip up and get his gun away from him, so it was the rule not to salute him."
Among the other rumors circulating about Camp Oread is one to the effect that any man wearing out a pair of hob-nailed shoes receives an honorable discharge at once. And then they do say that the city commissioners are figuring on a law to keep all hob-nails and caterpillar tractors off the paved streets of Lawrence.
"Say nurse," said the convesalinge fuim, "bring my supper in a capsule tonight, will you?"
He was rather smart, but appeared utterly insignificant when he tried on the overcoats in the quartermaster's department. After several unsuccessful efforts to find one he could see daylight in, he went to the sergeant's office.
"It's no use," he said. "Just issue me a blanket and I'll go."
The navy men have found a company barber. Now they are looking for a person who has had experience as a manicurist.
"You, there in the green cap," yes,
I mean you,-what is your eighth general order?"
"Sir, my eighth general order is: 'In case of fire'—In case of fire—to—to wring your hands.'"
Did the Mule Wear Gold Bars?
And the Mute Wife said:
A chapin, or workman's his rounds in
a hospital at the large cantonment,
stopped at the cot of a darky
and said:
"Sam, how is it that you are in bed today? You were quite well when I spoke to you yesterday."
The darky replied: "Well, pahson,
ab丹 was kicked by a mule."
"What in the name of goodness did he kick you for?2"
"Ah guess ah done 'fog to salute.'"
"Watchman-Examiner."
A sentinel walking his post on a Company street met a colored man. The sentinel came to salute. When asked the reason for this he replied, "My eleventh general order—'to salute all officers, and all colors and standards not caused.'"
Urges That You Save Shells and Fruit Pits
It is conservatively estimated that a minimum of 1,000,000 pounds of fruit pits and nut shells are needed daily for conversion into charcoal for gas masks. Unless efforts are redoubled toward their saving, many lives will be needlessly lost at the front.
It should be remembered that in addition to the soldiers, all others who go near the front line, such as Red Cross Nurses, Y. M. C. A., K of C, Salvation Army workers, the Y. M. H. A., and numerous other relief organizations must have gas masks. If the Gas Defense Division does not receive够补兵和 shells suitable for gas mask carbon, inferior wood substitutes will have to be used with the resulting higher mortality rate.
Section A Will Talk Over Careers in Army At Meeting Friday
Opportunities in The Different Branches Will be Discussed
Conference to be in Fraser
Dean Kelly Lists Probable Number of Men Each Service May Need
A meeting of all men in Section A will be held Friday to talk over the type of work the men want to follow in their military life, Dean F. J. Kelly, educational director of the University, said this morning. Explanations of the different lines of service open to S. A. T. C. members will be made by persons of authority in these different branches.
The meeting probably will be Friday morning, running in two sections, half of the men at 10 and half at 11 o'clock. It will be in Fraser Chamber to be filled out, indicating the branch of service each wishes to pursue.
The object of the assembly is to obtain a classification of students' wishes as to their preferred lines of service, so that the educational program for next term can be arrange!
MAY HOLD ENGINEERS
Some men will be kept in the University for further education, according to Dean Kelly. A proportion of engineers will be kept here for the completion of a course, the length of which has been prescribed by the government as two years for those beginning engineering. Probably upperclassmen will have first choice to stay because they are nearer the completion of the course. A year has been allowed by the government for pre-medics, but the time for medicine is undecided. The University has received no advice about the length of courses in other schools.
The government has said that 10 per cent of the men in the S. A. T. C. be kept in school, but according to Doctor Kelly this figure can not be taken as the proportion to be left in school here, because it is not known whether the students U. for technical training from colleges not offering this training.
"When the student-soldier signs up as preparing himself for a definite branch of service, his subjects taken in the University will be chosen so that he will be best fitted for that service, Dean Kelly said.
"After taking the courses prescribed by the Government, the student may select from the other S. A. T. C. courses of the University."
APPORTIONED FOR SERVICE
Dean Kelly has repaired a tabulation of the probable proportion of assignments of S. A. T. C. men when they are transferred from the University. The proportions were calculated from percentage issued by the government. Figures are approximate.
Of the 1,660 men in the collegiate section of the S. A. T. C. here, about 950 will be transferred to infantry and artillery; 330 to the air service—plots, airplane observers, balloon observers, and maneuvering officers; 56 to motor transportation and truck service; 47 to master corps; and 165 to engineering, signal corps, chemical warfare, pharmacy, medicine and law.
The 200 men in the navy section, when transferred, will be divided about half and half, 100 into general naval work and 100 to naval engineering. When the men entered this section at the beginning of the school year, they were asked whether they were going in for engineering or general naval service. While the Marine Corps is not yet filled, seventy men of the 140 quota of the corps will probably be transferred into air service, and seventy into general marine service.
TO RESUME CLASS ROOM WORK
TO RESUME CLASS ROOM WORK
The various branches outlined above will be the ones for which the student will express his preference at Friday's meeting. Students will not re-enroll for the remainder of the present term, but will retain the same classes upon the resumption of school that they had when class work was stopped.
Vocational section men will not meet Friday for classification, but Dean Kelly has estimated the probable number to be transferred to the
