NEW REGISTRANTS ONLY
The first announcement of the University of Kansas being chosen for a Marine Corps section came in a month earlier. Strong, which reads as follows:
"Authorized by a provost marshra general's office that all men in your institution registered on September 12, 1918, who were not due to register at the time, were ducted into Marine section and regardless of receipt of questionnaires will not be called by draft boards until after October 15, 1918. Marine induction forma mailed September 27, 1918, for officer enroute. Please publicify

The total number of members authorized for Marine Corps under this organization is 1,500. From this number the University of Kansas has been assigned a quota of 140.

These officers have been further instructed to co-operate at all times with the President of the University and the Commanding Officer of the Student Army Training Corps in instructional routine, instruction and discipline.

These examinations will be conducted by medical officers of the Navy and by the officer in charge of the unit. The decision regarding inclusion of any applicant will rest with the marine officer in charge.
"At the present time we are in especial need of officers for the Marine Corps Reserve Flying Corps. After a period of three months, or at such times as may be designated by these Headquarters, those men who have proven themselves to be especially well qualified to become a be considered ailiary for transfer to our Aviation Section or to one of the campions, or may be further examined in regard to their physical and educational qualifications; and if transferred to aviation instruction or to recruit training camps, they

More Than 600 K.U. Men Are Officers In Army
Every Branch of the Service Represented by University's Two Thousand
Every branch of government service is represented by one or more of the 2,000 K. U. men and women in Uncle Sam's ranks. Infantry seems to be the most popular with aviation and artillery vying for second place. The engineers, Medical Reserve and Military corps are equally favored. The army have attracted less than a hundred each and the tank service apparently has appealed to only two K U. men.
The Navy has K. U. representatives in the u. S. N. R., signal service, aviation, hospital corps, marines and officer's reserve corps. More than 200 are lined up in Allied Service as engineers, naval and medical reserve.
There are two brigadier general and three colonels from the ranks of K. U. Six lieutenant colonels, twenty two majors, eighty-one captains, on naval commander, three ensigns and about 500 first and second lieutenants swell the list of K. U. officers to more than 600.
Plain Tales From the Hill
Many University women have been taking a new wartime pre-home economics course the last two weeks, several score awards report. They had planned to return to the University in September 17, but enrollment was postponed to September 30, so several score mothers resolved:
"Well, since you aren't going back to the University for two weeks I'll just clean house while you're here." And they did.
Possibly it may sound simply awful, and dreadful, too, but it is true that a prominent Y. W. C. A. woman called up another prominent Y. W. woman and said, "Are you to call Toil with the Kaiser?"
The autobiographies have begun, now that the subtle upperclass women are returning to the University and are accepting courtesies from the freshmen, most of the upperclassmen being "over there" or in war work elsewhere. Nobody wants to hurt your feelings, young thing, but listen to them as long as they par-excellent. She's not going to be impressed by recitals of how many automobiles you left at home, whether it was three or seven, or how much money you and pa have made. There's a race on right now, young thing, between a senior woman and a junior woman to see how many stories of that kind they can correl. The junior woman and already has three of these. The senior has two, not counting the same story of personal wealth, beauty and popularity the same young thing recited to both.
It was retreat. The band of the vocational training section was playing "The Star Spangled Banner." The three companies of Hun-chasers were standing at attention as the flag floated down from the staff. A crowd, composed mostly of the Ad. Building to watch the impressive ad. As Old Glory came down all stood, respectfully silent, all except a small group of young women. The flag "Not even the strains of our national anthem was enough to make it seem like a chatter or the mechanical working of the inevitable chewing gum. Patriotism? Well, hardly. Let's hope they didn't belong to the writy.

Miss Lynn Announces Special War Courses Arranged For Women
Pre-nursing Course Qualifies for Advanced Standing in Nurses' Training Schools
Students Will Run Canteen
Home Economics, Bacteriology, Chemistry Schedule War- Time Work
The pre-nursing course, with a few modifications, will follow the plan carried out in the summer training program at Vessar has been formally approved by the committee of nursing of the General Medical Board of the Council of the National Defence, the Ameri- cation, and the American Red Cross.
In response to the call of Surgeon-General Gorgas for 50,000 nurses for the army by January, 1919, which included training schools at that time, the American Council on Education has urged the institutions of higher learning to add a pre-nursing course. In addition, the nurses, women may at the same time be preparing to respond to the call for service should it become urgent.
All pre-nursing courses in the University of Kansas will be under the direction of Alice L. Goetz, M.D. head of the department of physical education for women of the University. There will be offered anatomy and physiology for nurses, hygiene, general bacteriology, elementary chemistry and food and nutrition. Professor Sprague of the department of home economics will conduct the course in food and nutrition; Prof. Noble Sherwood of the department of health will charge of the bacteriology and the chemistry will conduct the elementary chemistry course. All will be offered the first term, which begins October 1.
Many students will have had one or more of these courses so that the obtaining of the complete credit for the group will be possible. This course gives six months to one year's standing in training schools for nurses, according to the amount of previous academic training.
"OUTLINING 'WOMAN'S WORK"
An illustrative set of the war, new and new professions for women in which the University will give training this year, has been prepared by Miss Margaret Lynn, who has charge of the war work for women at the University. A careful study of the various needs for women workers has been made and the courses outlined to give special training in pre-nursing and along other definite lines. Some of the new courses offered are war-time courses designed to prepare students for the work as home demonstrators, bacteriologists, or workers along other lines which need recruits at once.
Miss Lynn has had the outline printed and it will be distributed to junior and senior women at enrollment time. It is as follows:
BACTERIOLOGY
Special course in bacteriology, for women, to prepare for Red Cross and cantonment technicians. Ten hours credit. 8 to 12 daily.
HOME ECONOMICS COURSES
Pre-nursing food course. Students lesiring to take a food course as part of their preparation for nursing may unroll (without prerequisites) in food preparation at 10 o'clock.
Institutional cooking, five hours. New course, open to sophomores dealing with the selection and preparation of food for large groups as in canteens, lunch rooms and cafeterias. The laboratory work will include practical experience in the cafeteria in the University Hostess House.
