May Increase Number Of Football Games With Service Teams
In Addition to Varsity Matches K. U. S. A. T. C. Elevens Will Play
Athletics a Military Asset
First Official Practice This Afternoon—Squad of Old Men Here
Despite the fact it was announced last week there was no time provided for football practice Coach W. O. Hamilton has said the University will play all games arranged in its schedule.
It is true the War Department makes no place on the program for sports, but the commanders at the different schools are allowed to exercise their own discretion in certain cases and Capt. B. T. Scher, believing athletics to be a military asset, has assured Mr. Hamilton provisions will be made for time to practice and play the games arranged.
TO PLAY AS COLLEGE TEAM
TO PLAY AS COLLEGE TEAM The team, Manager Hamilton has announced, will play as a college team and not as a service team, since the games were arranged as college games.
That does not mean, he explained, there will not be some service teams that will arrange games with other service teams in the nearby colleges and cantonments. Captain Scher said it was probable time would be allowed service teams to practice, and time be allowed them to play games matched with teams in camps near Lawrence.
The first official practice, with all Varsity candidates out, has been called for this afternoon at McCook Field. Suits were checked out last week. At least a dozen men with experience on the regular team or last year's freshmen team are expected to report. Of these, three, Foster, quarter; Jones, guard; and Lonborg, end; are letter men.
In addition to these there will be Simon, a fast full back, eligible for Varsity play last year, but out of the game because of injuries; Bunn, who in addition to his ability as a basketball and baseball player, has a good halfback; Lombrun, a substitute guard; Marner; and Knowles, a good end, besides Marxen, Desmond, Heiser, Waltersm and McLoad of last year's freshman team.
ONLY ONE MAN LACKING
Pringle and Idol were in Lawrence last week, but Idol did not enroll. and Pringle was called by his draft board before he was registered.
Considerable interest centers just now in the selection of a captain to plot the team, as Scrubby Laslett, captain-elect, is in service in France. It is thought Foster will be the man chosen, as he is the only third-year player in school. The selection of a captain will likely not be made till just before the game with the Normal October 12.
Only one tackle is needed to complete a team, allowing every man to play in his favorite position. For the linebacker Coach Jay Bond will have for guards, Marxen, Desmond McKenzie, tackle, Marxen; Lonborg and Knowles; McLeed; McLeed; quarter; halves, Bunn, Walthers and Heister; and backflow, Simon.
No, Haughty Castilian, You Have the Sniffles
Nothing to that haughty Castilian stuff. Cut it. You haven't the Spanish influenza. All you've got is the sniffles that come with the firebrand snap every autumn, sniffles, not Spanish influenza; do it? Sniffles, not shortgrass, every day hillbilly language, sniffles. Indubitably you can coax yourself into thinking sniffles is the real Castilian, senor, but you're faking when you are. There is no influenza that any kind in Kansas may have; maybe be later in the school but there is now here none. Dr. S. J. Crumbine, dean of the School of Medicine, is authority for the foregoing screed. He put it euphoniously and in correct Spanish and technically correct English and the dope — cut out the Castilian stuff.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1918.
Calls George O. Foster
to high S.A.T.C. Place
A telegram was received this morning by George O. Foster, registrar of the University, asking him to become assistant director for the Student Army Training Corps, to aid in supervise training work for the University and for the Student Army Training Corps at the different universities and colleges.
"I have not decided whether or not I will accept the place," said Mr. Foster. "I can not decide where I can be, but I do." If Mr. Foster accepts the assistant directorship his work for the government will begin about October 1 according to the telegram and will continue until July, 1919, or perhaps longer.
Courses in War Aims Will be at All Hours
The One Subject Demanded by War Dept. to be Tought In 48 Sections
The 3-hour course on the issues of the war will be given by twenty-four members of the faculty, each of whom will have work to do. The three plans worked out by Prof. F. H. Hodder who is in general charge of the course. It will be offered in eight sections at each of the schools of the S. A. T. C. man's academic day.
The forty-eight sections will be divided into three approximately equal groups. Students in the first group will take up the causes of the war and America's entry into the war. The second group will make a study of the governments engaged in the war and the economics of the war. The third group will cover the progress and issues of the war. Men who remain throughout the year will cover all three subjects; only a few who have completed University work are excused from the course in war issues. Selection of instructors has not been finally made but some who will probably have sections are:
Professors H o d e r , Patterson, Walker, Whitcomb, Blackmar, Sturtevant, F. R. Hamilton, Burdick, Melton, Humble, C. Rawley, Humble, F. Rawley, Boynton, Ferguson, Talbot, Elmer, Thurrain, Deery, W. S. Johnson, Owen
University "Y" Jumps Into Work for S. A. T. C.
The University Y, M. C. A. will hold a sing at Myers Hall the nights September 23 and 25, at 7:45 o'clock, according to plans announced by Prof. W.J. Baumgartner who has taken over the work of the Y. M. C. A. in the absence of a secretary. All men are invited.
It has been definitely announced that Frank Parker, '09, will be sent here as Y. M. C. A. secretary. He is now "Y" secretary with the vocational training institute in Kansas City. He is expected to arrive Wednesday. The Y. hut will be located among the barracks near McCook Field.
Jerome Beatty, a student here in 1908, at present advertising manager for the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, visited the University last Thursday, before going on to New York where he will soon sail for the front to write for the Reciprocal News Service of England. Mr. Beatty had been in Hutchinson visiting his mother and only stopped here for a short visit to London. He has placed for himself among New York writers for his sports stories in newspapers and magazines. Mrs. Beatty, formerly Miss Dorothy McKnight, also was a student at the University of Kansas.
The Y. M. C. A. has accomplished a great deal in the last week. All trains were met by a group of high school boys and girls. Torrill and more than a thousand men have been aided in obtaining rooms. The ministers of the city have co-operated in every possible way. About two hundred students from this last week at the various sings and mixes given by the Y. M. C. A.
The Red Cross means Morale
Every church in Lawrence held open house for the S. A. T. C. men and the young people of the town Friday night. The churches are making special efforts to provide recreation and entertainment for the S. A. T. C. men and several churches have planned reading rooms which are to be open at any time to them when they are off duty.

Two Divisions to Train Seamer In Engineering and General Work Here
Recruiting for Navy Begins in Green Hall; Naval Officers Arrive
"If the men in the engineering section make good at the work," said Mr Garver, "they will have an opportunity to finish their education at this University or at some special training school. If they show up and think out they will be assigned to duty at some naval training station.
The naval section is to be divided into two sections, general and engineering. Each section will be composed of one hundred men. The drilling of the two sections will be the main part of the drill. We will also the regular engineering for the engineering division and the college course for the general.
"Because of the limited number that will be admitted to this section of the training there will be no special training along naval lines of work. The course of study prescribed for the men in the naval section in practically the same as for the S. A. T. C. men."
According to Mr. Garver the men will be inducted into this section on or about October 1. The men will be given the regular sailor uniform which they will have to wear at all times. They will receive the pay of apprentice seamen which will amount to $23.50 a month. The men in the naval section will be allowed a maximum of $2 a day for subsistence.
Mr. Garver is a former student of the University. He was graduated from the School of Engineering in 1910.
It was thought at first that the men in this section would be allowed to have their rooms in any place they wanted them provided they observe army discipline. The latest news says say the troops have been barracks and will have to observe the same rules as the men in the student army training corps.
Lieut. Ralph B. Campbell, of the naval recruiting station in Kansas City is expected to arrive in Lawrence this afternoon and will begin at once the recruiting for the general section of the naval division. The naval recruiting office probably will have a Green Hall. Only students who have enrolled in the University are eligible for this section. Men who have registered for the S. A. T. C. may be transferred to the naval section.
Pharmacy May be Listed In S. A. T. C. Subjects
Registration of S. A. T. C. students who wish to enroll in pharmacy is being held up in the University pending definite instruction from Washington. Telegrams have been sent asking for this definite instruction. Dean L. E. Sayre of the School of Pharmacy has received a letter from the dean of the school of pharmacy of Chicago, where it is enclosed a circular from the University of Illinois which states that students in pharmacy are admitted in the S. A. T. C. under the following instruction from Washington:
Let Contract for Rosedale Barracks
The contract for the S. A. T. C.
barracks to be built on the grounds of
the University of Kansas School of
Medicine at Rosedale was let Saturday
to F. H. Crites of Kansas City.
The building is to be erected just
west of the dispensary. It is to house
one hundred men, and is to be finished
n October.
These paragraphs indicate that the status of pharmacy at the University will soon be cleared up and the University of Kansas Will be put on the same plane with the University of Illinois. Dean Sayre's office receives take one or more courses in pharmacy register in the S. A. T. C. as now prescribed, subsequently enrolling at Dean Sayre's office.
"Units of the S. A. T. C. will be organized at the School of Pharmacy of the University of Illinois in Chicago.
"The students may be assigned to the program where they are enrolled for intensive work in specified lines for limited time."
Miss Alberta Corbin, Adviser of Women, will go to Topaka Monday to meet with the Executive Board of The Kansas Council of Women. This institution interested in training halls of residence for girls at state schools.
Study German, Says Medical School Dean To Prospective M. Ds.
To the Editor: I wish to call the attention of students registering in the College, with an intention of study abroad. Please send me to the foreign language requirements.
Make the Enemy's Language a Weapon Against Him, Advises Dr. M. T. Sudler
The most essential foreign language for the medical student is German, and this should be the language of the exam. You must state that the French and English Governments both recognize the extreme utility and practicability of knowing the language of the enemy. It is an additional weapon against him.
Regarding medicine, a large part of the literature that has been accumulated is in this language, practically the entire development of pathology being in the journals that are published in German only. Many articles written by English and American investigators and research workers have appeared in German publications. The knowledge of them, therefore, essential to anyone who would use his medical training to the best advantage, particularly if he has the slightest inclination towards investigation or research.

Associate Dean, University of Kansas School of Medicine.
Plain Tales From the Hill
Mervin T. Sudler,
Some wise one has started a movement to get Wednesday off instead of Saturday for about half of the men. His chief argument is that there won't be enough dates to go around on Saturdays.
A freshman at McCook Field Wednesday thought it might be a good idea to take notes on Captain Scher's speech. The handiest piece of paper he had was the church directory handed him as he came in. The captain's speech emphasized chiefly the necessity of promptness. Being curious about an instructor glanced over and read right on the back of a church announcement, the freshman's notes, "be prompted as hell."
Will the two hundred men in training here for the navy have a Mosquito Fleet on Potter Lake?
You could never tell that this is war time and all the men are in the army by looking at the number of frat "freshies", for the business of cleaning houses and yards is progressing as usual under the supervision of the upper classmess, if they are greatly in the minority.
Be advised; these are paragraphs of mystery;
That newest and most used abbreviation has met the inevitable facetious expansion. They call it Stick Around Till Xmas.
A sophisticated student strolled afd and spoke surreptiously. Then he sauntered forward to quench his thirst. A neophyte sauntered utterly innocent, and bumped into this question, uttered surreptiously.
"You've made a mistake," he said, "my name's not Hazenback."
Saucer eyed the neophyte was mute Then he spoke.
"Are you the guy that wanted the camels?"
Mr. McKeever May Leave
Plans to transfer W. A. McKeever from the University to the State Board of Health are said to be under consideration by state authorities. Mr. McKeever was transferred from Kansai University in 2014, when the university several years ago. He is head of the child welfare division. At his office it was said this morning he was out of town. The chancellor's office it was said that such a provision had not been made, but that University had not been informed of any action on it.
Y. M. C. A. Has Jobs for Men
The University Employment program applies, until every student enrolls, until S. A. T. C. duties begin, according to Prof. W. J. Baumartner, temporarily in charge of the Y. M. C. A. office in Myers Hall. Business students Lawrence will be asked to list various jobs with the bureau.

Prof. S. J. Hunter and family have returned from Estes Park, Colo., where they have been spending their summer season at the close of the second summer session.
Army Students Repair
AutoS Free of Charge
DEEN G. C, Shaad asserts that the vocational training students are willing to make repairs and overhaul standard makes of automobiles free, if the owners are willing to leave the vehicle, and will pay for the replaced parts.
It is necessary that cars be left with the men as long as possible in order that they can take their time in working over them, thereby obtaining the greatest amount of experience_from the work.
Anyone who wishes to leave his car
from these students should see Dean
Shanah.
This Week to be Devoted To Forming S.A.T.C. Units
Army Students Will Be Ready When Class Instruction Begins October 2
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week will be used for the induction of the men into fédération de cyclisme. This day will be devoted to assignment to squads, platoons, companies, and battalions. After this organisation is assigned, the cavaliers will be assigned to the quartars to be used for permanent quarters.
When class work starts October 2, the students enrolled in the S. A. T. C. will have been inducted into federal service, assigned to their military units, and very likely will have been assigned to their quarters, according to Capt. B. T. Scher, commanding the S. A. T. C. unit.
If present plans are carried out, students in one school will not be organized into units containing students from other schools. It is planned now, according to Carter C. Shaad, a professor of engineering at them as possible in the five barf them as possible in the five barf them to be built between Marvin Hall and Haworth Hall. The other units containing engineers will be quartered in barracks east of McCook High School. They will be built at Rosealeau will house the advanced students in the school of Medicine there.
The work of vaccination and inoculation will not be a part of the week's program, but will be attended to after the barracks are finished, when all men will be placed in detention for a time.
One Soft Spot in Army; Men May Study in Bed
"Oh, skin-nay." Just think of it! Nothing to but lie down in your bunk and study this winter while in the S. A. T. C. It sure promises to have one soft spot, at least, in this army life.
According to Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith, architect for the barracks, each man has been allotted just forty-five square feet of space. Each bed will take twenty feet of this. Between the beds there will be either a two or a 2-1-2 foot aisle and another one three feet wide along the foot of the beds. The question is: at where will that be placed? Where tables for the S. O. B.?"
And the answer is very simple. There will be no room for the tables. The present plan is for the S. A. T. to do it on the bunks, and those who have writing and drawing to do, may be allowed to use the tables in the mess halls. It is possible that some men may obtain the privilege to study at Spooner Library, but nothing definite as to this has been an-
There will not be a scarcity of women at the University of Kansas this fall, according to women students who report that they were less likely to leave week from various parts of the state.
"A good lighting system," Professor Goldamith asserts, "will be installed in the barracks especially so the men can study and read in their bunks without danger of injury to their eyes."
"The truth is that in these war times vacations in the woman's home town are not what they used to be," said a Topека girl. "Every girl is eagerly waiting for the opening of college.
Many Women Coming To K. U., Women Say
"Of course, the girls are all glad that the University is to have Military Training this year, but the fact remains that the girls are all begrudging the lucky boys that extra week of school. Since Uncle Sam is paying or Johnnie's education, father can afford to pay for Mary's."
If our American soldier们 delivered an long over doing their duty as some of our people at home hostile to theirs, the victory would be doubtful.
