More Football Men Out Since Officers Seek New Materia
Forty Checked Out Suits Last Night On McCook Field
Company Squads Out Soon
Between thirty-five and forty football men new to the Varsity were out for practice last night on McCook Field, as the result of announcements to S. A. T. C. members that men taking part in athletics would receive special consideration when the recom-mendation to officers' training camps were made.
More men signified their intention of beginning practice this morning when a second call for football material was issued. The officers in charge of the drill work are placing special stress on the importance of taking part in football work-outs. Complete records are being kept of the number of men from each company who go out for football.
New Material Shows Up Well
And Will Be Eligible
For Varsity
Funds are being raised in a number of companies for the purchase of football equipment, but thus far no other steps have been taken in the organizing of company teams. It is certain, however, that these teams will be organized later in the year and will play out a schedule of games.
Three squads of Varsity men were out Monday night, about double the number who have come out before. Four squads of freshmen were in the field, and the first freshman team scrimmaged for a short time with the second string Varsity men. There was little scrimmage last night, the squads merely kicking the ball about and practicing formations.
The new material out for practice last night showed up well, many of the men being of good build and weight. The majority of these men would never have come out for football had not the officers of the Student Corps recommended the work. About half the men are upperclassmen and will be eligible for the Varsity
School of Engineering Has Larger Enrollment Than Ever Before 1010
800 Freshman Engineers Compose 35 Sections In Mathematics
A total of,1,010 men have enrolled in the School of Engineering, according to figures given out this morning by Dean G. C. Shaad. Eighty of these men have withdrawn or transferred to other schools, but the 930 students remaining breaks all at-attendance records.
About 800 of the men in the engineering school are freshmen, few upperclassmen having returned to school. There are 35 sections in mathematics, one of the most popular courses in the school.
No difficulty is being experienced with regard to teachers or class rooms, in spite of the unusually large enrollment. Most of the engineers are taking English and other courses in English, and this helps relieve the situation.
"If the majority of the men remain in school next quarter, as I believe they will," said Dean Shaad this morning, "it will become necessary to provide new facilities for handling them." Unusually large classes are avoided by having a large number of sections, which is possible as most of the men are taking elementary work. When they begin to specialize, we will meet with some difficulty."
Dean Shad stated that the authorities of the Engineering School expected to work out plans during the next ten weeks for handling the men during the next quarter. Assistance from the College faculty will have much to do with solving the problem.
Football will be played at the University of Michigan this year, but only on a strict war basis. From the appearance of the candidates, Michigan will have a young, light, but fast team. They are training the men more for the idea of making better soldier material than of winning games.

A. B. Means 180 Hours
With Four Term Year
In former years it has been necessary for a student in the University of Kansas to have 120 credit hours before he should be graduated. Now that the year has been divided into quarter terms 180 credits are required for graduation since each credit under the new system is worth only two-thirds as much as it used to be.
Influenza, Slick, Sly Hunnish Disease

while in the sick-room, and slip this off when leaving to look after the others.
Nurses and attendants will do well to guard against breathing in dangerous disease permits by wearing a cap, bracelet or muzzle or mask while near the patient.
Will a person who has had influenza before catch the disease again?
It is well known that an attack of measles or scarlet fever or smallpox usually protects a person against another attack of the same disease. This appears not to be true of "Spanish influenza." According to newspaper reports the King of Spain suffered an attack of influenza during the epidemic years ago, and was again stricken during the recent outbreak in Spain.
How can one guard against influenza?
In guarding against disease of all kinds, it is important that the body be kept strong and able to fight off disease genius. This can be done by having a proper proportion of work, play, and rest, by keeping the body well clothed, and by eating sufficient, wholesome, and properly selected food. In connection with diet, it is well to remember that milk is one of the best all-around foods, obtainable for adults as well as children. So far as a disease like influenza is concerned health authorities everywhere recognize the very close relation between its spread and overcrowded homes. While it is not always possible, especially in times like the present, to avoid such overcrowding, people should consider the health danger and make every effort to reduce the home overcrowding to a minimum. The value of fresh air through open windows cannot be over-emphasized.
Where crowding is unavoidable, as in street cars, care should be taken to keep the face so turned as not to injure a passenger or air breathed out by another person.
It is especially important to beware of the person who coughs or sneezes without covering his mouth and nose. It also follows that one should keep out of crowds and stuffy places as much as possible; keep homes, offices, and warships well aired, spend some time at work and do not work if at all practicable—in short make every possible effort to breathe as much pure air as possible.
"Cover up each cough and sneeze.
If you don't you'll spread disease."
K. U. Has Not Bought Its Quota Of Bonds
Professor Mitchell urged, when speaking of the matter, that all those who intend to purchase bonds increase their subscriptions in order that K. U. may not fall short of its required amount. The student body will be made but bonds may be purchased at the business office in Fraser.
The success of the University's effort to double its quota in the Liberty Loan drive was doubtful this morning according to Prof. U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the Liberty Loan campaign. The fact that a few of the larger buildings have failed so far has their quota makes the outlook gloomy.
The students of the Ohio State University have organized a Fourth Liberty Loan Corps. The various squads will carry on the campaign in such a manner that every student and employee on the campus will be reached in some way.

Precautions Are Taken By University to Stop Spread of Influenza
S. A. T. C. Classes Excused and Student Meetings Barred For Present
Situation Is Well In Hand
Ninety-Two Cases Cared for in Infirmary on Second Floor of Barracks No. 1
On account of the rapid spread of the Spanish influenza among the men of the Student Army Training Carpa all University class work for men was discontinued this morning until conditions are improved. Ninety-two cases of the influenza were in the infirmary of the S. A. T. C, this morning and according to Lieut. Judson Allen, M. D., new ones were arriving.
The second floor of the north barracks was fitted up yesterday afternoon as an infirmary for the men. The ones who had been in the hospital until the number became so great that it was impossible to care for them there, were moved to the barracks.
NO CAUSE FOR ALARM "We have the epidemic well in hand," said Captain Bruno Scher, this morning. "None of the men is in a dangerous condition and we hope to be able to control the influenza in the University. In order to do this, however, it will be necessary to put the ban on all sorts of congregations. During the epidemic here, no man in the Student Army Training Corps will be allowed to attend any church, theatre, or any kind of a public gathering."
The medical detachment will be increased today by Captain Scher and Doctor Allen. Twenty pre-medics devoted to the infrinary today and tonight.
NO CAUSE FOR ALARM
In compliance with the orders issued this morning by Captain Scher Chancellor Frank Strong has asked that all University gatherings which were scheduled for this week will be called off on account of the influenza
RUSH WORK ON BARRARES
The work on the barrares is being rushed to try to get the men who are staying at the different rooming houses over Lawrence to be moved into the barrares by tomorrow night in order that the men be better cared for so they can be now ready for occupancy and by banging tarpaulin over the windows of the others they can be used.
Men who are staying in fraternity houses will be allowed to remain in
the houses until there are enough barracks to accommodate the entire S. A. T. C. .

Miss Lewis New Member of Journalism Faculty
The appointment of Miss Marion Lewis, as a member of the faculty of the department of journalism, has been announced. Miss Lewis attended the University in 1914 and 1915, specializing in journalism. Since that time she has been employed by the Minneapolis Journal, editing a special school page. While attending the national convention of Theta Sigma Phi, held here last spring, Miss Lewis was elected national president of that organization, an honorary woman's journalistic fraternity.
