Water Problem Faces Caterers Contracting To Feed S.A.T.C.Men
Kitchens in Barracks, They Say Cannot be Used Until Connections Are Made
Quick Action Is Demanded
A Stranger Accustomed to Drinking Water Hates to Give Up the Habit
"Water" again showed up as the Ethiopian in the fuel rich this afternoon at a conference between the University and the caterers having the contract for feeding the S. A. T. C. men. The caterers bled into the barracks and the barracks kitchens as their reason for not being ready to feed the men. The University signed contracts with the caterers some time ago, but the caterers said kitchens could not be run without water. The conference, when held late this afternoon, pursued get-together immediate relief from this condition.
Students, army officers, faculty members and employees have been going about the Hill the last two days uncomfortable because of lack of water. Weak pressure on the Hill today made it almost impossible to get water from some faucets even if the water had been fit to drink, which it is not at this date, without having been boiled.
The absence of adequate feeding facilities has worked considerable inconvenience on many of the men. The Hill cafes have not room for so many men at the meal hours and even where men have abundant means to buy expensive meals they do not always have, so we are here for food. Water, said the caterers, or lack of it, was the direct cause of this inconvenience.
Last year the University carefully removed all the old water coolers that were used with bottled water and installed cute, little enameled sanitary drinking fountains that connected directly with the city water supply. These fountains, of course, are worse than useless now, even if they could be used. They could not be used for two reasons today. There was a trickle of water from some of them, which weak pressure. If there had been sufficient pressure there was no water that could be drunk without boiling.
One army man begged a friend this afternoon to tell him where he could get a drink of water on the campus. He had been working hard and was thirsty. In explanation of his odd request he said he had become accustomed to drinking water before he came to Lawrence.
Red Cross Will Begin School Year's Work In Surgical Dressings
Insignia
Women Who do 72 Hours Work May Wear Organization's Insignia
War activities on the Hill for women students will begin next Monday with the opening of the Red Cross surgical dressings room in Fraser Hall. The same room is to be used as last year, No. 205. Miss Margarine Lynn will have charge of the Red Cross activities again. How many days a week will she be open and陪 the number of women who report for the work and the number of supervisors obtainable to oversee the work.
An added incentive is offered for Red Cross work. Under a new ruling, seventy-two hours work entitles a worker to wear the official Red Cross emblem on her cap. This privilege has heretofore been granted only to graduates of authorized Red Cross courses.
Volunteers are needed to assist in the salvage department down town. Women with skill in millinery can be used there.

W.S.G.A. Sends Up Call For Help at Book Stall
The Woman's Student Government Association is asking women who have leisure hours, to help at the Student Book Exchange, Room 121, Fraser Hall. The association is doing a rushing business and needs more help. Formerly the exchange has been run by the council himself, but this year the women took it over and are making the exchange fill a big need for the students.
The exchange was opened Wednesday. Ten per cent of the profit from the books is to be given to the W. S. G. A. fund. If any one wishes to give books, the entire amount from the book fee is given. There is a particular demand for French books, also for education, history, chemistry and psychology books.
About six hundred books already have been brought in. Prices vary according to the condition and the price the individual owner asks for a book. Each book, when brought in, must have the name of the owner and the desired price marked in the front of the book.
Marine Corps Aviators Face Strict Standards When Entering Service
Lesser Requirements for Entry As Line Officer in the Marines
Aviators for the Marine Corps are particularly sought by Lieut. H. R. McPeak, who is to be in charge of the Marine Section of the University of Kansas Students' Army Training Corps, and is now recruiting the section, but candidates for commissions as line officers in the Marines also may receive the training provided here.
the requirements of candidates for aviation work with the Marines are more severe than they are for general service in the Marines explained Lieutenant McPeak. The latter requirements are not changed. These presuppose that the aviation section the applicant must be at least nineteen years of age, weigh between 130 and 170 pounds, and have completed at least one year in college. The applicant must have completed courses in algebra, geometry, both plane and solid; an trigonometry course; have made physics, but this may be waived if the mathematical preparation is suitable.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 3, 1918.
Lieutenant McPeak added that men seeking enlistment in the Marines, with view to becoming line officers, will be admitted at the age of 18, under the usual examination rules of the Corps.
"I should like to make it plain," said Lieutenant McPeak this morning, "that membership in the Marine Corps section of the S. A. T. C. here at the University does not insure a commission. This is just a preliminary training here. If the applicant has the necessary qualifications, and appears to be proper aviation material, he will be recommended for further instruction in the army. It is to young for the aviation camp, but suitable for a line officer he will be recommended for instruction at a Marine Corps officers training camp. If he fails, in the judgment of the officer in charge, in all these respects, he will be inducted into the Marine Corps as a private
"His entry into the Marine Corps section here puts him in the Marines for the war; whether or not he becomes an aviator, upon his own qualifications and his application to the duties assigned here."
Lieutenant McPeak's office will be on the second floor of Green Hall, and application for membership in person is made in person, by letter, or by telegraph.

Alibis Cannot Replace Liberty Loan Pledges
Suppose that a faculty member says:
That he is in debt and can not afford to buy even a $50 bond, but can afford to belong to an expensive club. He may be one of the most expensive forms of amusement;
Or, still supposing, that she says she cannot afford to buy more than $100 in bonds, but is known to be investing good sums regularly otherwise; and in addition has a good size salary and no dependents.
Or, that he has had heavy bills to pay and must regretfully refuse to take part in the Fourth Liberty Loan, known to be dabbling in oil stocks.
You would think that such a faculty member needed to have some information not found in the dictionary of patronism, wouldn't you?
Or, that she has invested all she can afford in previous Liberty Loans, but as a matter of fact has bought only one $50 bond in all three campaigns and bought a $250 set of furs at about the same time.
Men's Classes in Physical Education cannot be started until vocational training detachment moves from Gymnasium, which we except will be about Oct. 15. Men enrolled in these exercises are hereby excused until October 15—W. O. Hamilton, Director Physical Education.
But you don't think that there are any such faculty members, do you?
Men Not to be Housed In New Ad. Building
The new west wing and central part of the Ad Building are not to be used as a temporary barracks, the University authorities have decided. The government was in favor of putting the university building on hold until the university has no funds to install heating apparatus and as the building is badly needed for class and lecture rooms it was decided not to put it to a substitute use. Instead the construction of five barracks between Marvin and Anderson was method. These barracks will be occupied to capacity by engineering students.
The barracks at the University's medical school at Rosedale are to be finished by Saturday, it was announced.
Do you also heir the monitor should buy to the limit and go over the top Monday.
Misa Golda Fuger of Wathna and Miss Ethel Minger of Bern will be guests at the Alomannia house Saturday and Sunday.

Captain Scher to Talk
At First Y. W. Meeting
Evelyn Rombaugh has announced that the first regular Y. W. C. A. meeting will be held in Fraser Chapel at 4:45 o'clock, Tuesday afternoon, October 8. Captain Scher will speak on "What is Your Patriotism Worth?"
on What is it out there?
on WHAT W. C. A, plans to hold weekly meetings throughout the year at which discussions of University activities will be open to all members.
The opening of the S. A. T. C. is expected to give the organization many opportunities for service, and war work of all kinds will be taken up.
Plain Tales From the Hill
Before this week is over you'll wish you had come up on the street car upon arriving in Lawrence, instead of arriving in state in a fifty-cent taxi.
"Huh, picking up what you throw down last year, aren't you?" asked Uncle Julem of the campus-cleaning firm. They puffed and red-dened seeteryly.
After last week's mud whir of sewing on buttons and hooks and eyes, women now have settled down to the calm routine of rush week.
How would you like to have attained the dignity of an enlisted man in the S. A. T. C., and have an older sister in school who calls youSON in the midst of a crowd? That's what one freshman is going through.
Jackies are scarce on the Hill, but the few who are here attract considerable attention. One sailor met a former landlady on Oread Avenue recently, and was more than confused when she embraced him and exclaimed:
"My dear boy, how wonderful it must be to get back on dry land again!"
Men in the trenches have nothing on K. U. students, when it comes to lack of food, drink, and general privation. What's more, they don't waste so many hours in vain efforts to obtain sustenance.
He had crossed the Mississippi (on a bridge) last week coming home, but that was the extent of his navigation.
No Persis, the Kanzas do not live on Oread Avenue any more. The Kanza house is an officers' club. All of them on duty with the S. A. T. C are there. Some of them are young and some are younger. All this is a warning. Don't call. They officers—yes, they do like it. And, hush. you do call 448 the rule is, it is said, what you have 'o talk to the senior officer first!
There's a sad fate in store for those. University women who insist upon sentencing paper, powder puffs, handchiefs, and hairpins promiscuously to be formed into a policing squad, with a lieutenant in charge, to pick up all feminine leavings, so the S. A. T. C. won't have such a man for them. This announcement, there'll be a rush of women to take the policing course.

Co-Operative Houses Needed at University Advisor of Women Says
Opportunities for Starting Student Homes Favorable
Must Economize This Year
Living
College Women Must Set Example in Simplicity of
"K. U. needs co-operative houses for women who are wholly or partly self-supporting," said Miss Alberta J. Corbin, acting adviser of women, in regard to the rooming-house situation in Lawrence.
"The war may possibly delay the coming of halls of residence but circumstances are at the present unusually favorable for starting co-operation." We have tried them out and they have been found invariably successful.
"We need halls of residence, and the Kansas Council of Women is working for them. Women students can help, by explaining clearly to candidates for the legislature that they know why we need the halls. Most of us are座位 to dormitories in the past has been due to ignorance of conditions."
Miss Corbin believes that her office should be able to direct students to places where they can have pure water and well selected food. Inspection of boarding houses is going on now, and an approved list is being prepared. The University has all the organization's capacity of food and water, and the present need is to make use of the organization.
"We must work for the permanent income amendment and we must begin at once," said Miss Corbin. "If we can make the people understand we shall win. Kansas is a big state, and the women students must help in the campaign, if every voter in the state is to be reached.
"To help corpin the war," declared Miss Corbin, "we must be physically and mentally vigorous. We shall fail in our duty to our country if we do not protect ourselves or deter terror. Women should live simply, keep early hours, take plenty of sleep and exercise regularly. This sort of life is certainly no sacrifice. It will lead to true economy—to the laying aside of our material possessions, in social life. Social life, in the best sense, should not be curtailed. Our women should endeavor to secure for themselves and their brothers wholesome plains and lands, as well as common interests. Here is perhaps our women's greatest opportunity to serve.
"The best thing we have," Miss Corbin believes, "is a body of women students, whose power of initiative and power of helpfulness are second to none. The women are also well organized, and I believe they will prove equal to any task that new conditions are bringing to us."
Federal Court Says Pay For Your Papers
The United States Circuit Court, sitting in New York, has asked that readers of The Kansan do not seek to have copies "deadheaded" to friends or relatives. Their request is contained in the following telegraph report sent out by the Associated Press; Judges of the United States circuit court, acting as arbitrators in the controversy between the news print manufacturers and the Trade Commission over the price of news print paper, Wednesday handed down a decision awarding a price of $3.50 a hundred pounds for rolled news in carload lots, f.o.b. mill.
