Cantonment "Hut" Plan Is Not Yet Authorized
"Knowing as I do the work and purpose of the National War Work Council," said Frank Parker, secretary of the University Y.M.C.A., "it is my opinion that a regular war work service will be established here. If this is done, there will be a Y. M. C. A.

A. service.
"While we are expecting the War Work Council, the national organization, to take over the work here, we have not been so instructed yet, and we are working on new orders for the carrying out of plans for the plans of the cantonment."

Government Will be Asked to Release Materials for New Plant
Plant
Mayor George L. Kreeck has gone to Washington to obtain the co-operation of governmental authorities in improving the Lawrence water supply and in obtaining material to finish water works plant.

Mayor Kreeck hopes to help Washington authoritative orders that will give the city the material needed to finish the new water works plant.
The plant is about 85 per cent finished, it was said, but further work has been held up by inability to obtain material. Material needed to finish the plant is among the materials used in war industries.

Unfortunately, the buildings were not completed, and the men, forced to give up their other rooms, had a difficult task finding accommodations.
"We have found rooms for everyone who has asked for them," said Secretary Harriet R. Harris of the "all-age" times she had only two rooms in view. Although the distance to the Hill is great, many persons out of the rooming house dislike the quiet atrium Homes for the time being to the St. Mary's men, greatly relieving the situation.

Canvass Starts to Sell $50,000 Liberty Bonds At University of Kansas
Three purposes actuate the canvassers for Fourth Liberty Loans now at work on the campus of the University of Kansas.
They are out to sell bonds.
bonds.
They are out to take ridges from persons who will buy bonds.
They are out to take the report of members of the faculty and employees who have already bought bonds of the Fourth issue.
Incidentally, too, they are out to get the reasons of any on the campus who, apparently ought to be buying bonds, decline to do so.
Plans for the canvass of the University faculty, for the raising of the $50,000 set as the goal--double the quota assigned by the county committee—were discussed at a meeting of the finance committee in Fraser Hall yesterday afternoon. Prof. U. G. Mitchell presided.
"We want to do our part in over-subscribing this loan," said Professor Mitchell. "The more we over-subscribe the loan, the greater will we promote the morale of the boys in France.
"In taking subscriptions for the Third Liberty Loan, we found that many of the members of the faculty preferred to deal direct through their banks, so we are prepared this time to take the pledges of any who may not want to buy bonds through the solicitors. For such, we have pre-paid pledge cards, which will be transferred to the banks. The banks will report back to the U.S. government committee October 1, at the close of the loan soliciting period, any persons who have failed to take up their pledge.
"I want to say, too, that we have preserved from the previous campaign cards of persons who did not subscribed to our efforts of these, no doubt, will be able to buy bonds this time, but if the reasons offered then were more excuses, and the excuses are offered again, we shall have to consider the case seriously.
The government has provided yellow cards on which reports of apparent slackers are to be made. Fortunately the University has not had to use any of these yellow cards. But we have the cards on hand."
At the meeting yesterday supplies were distributed to the various committee members, and they were instructed to begin their canvass at the first meetings of the canvass will be made at a meeting next Wednesday afternoon.

Several K. U. women have asserted that the male population of the globe had better keep on wearing military clothes after the war is over, if they want to continue to attract attention and admiration. Perhaps they haven't considered that ever khaki might get monotonous.
The romantic freshman who wakes up every morning, and enjoys a fresh meal in the vocational band plays "We can't get away having a hard time to get all her sleep.
"Gee," said the freshman, "I sure hope they don't ever line us up along the bank of Potter Lake and order us to 'Fall In.'"
