Hostess House Canteen
To Have Home Cooking
Dinners "Like Mother Used to Cook" to Provide Variety for S. A. T. C. Men
A canteen, or food service, organized and directed by Pro. Elizabeth Sprague and members of the department of home economics, will be opened in connection with the University of New York in Myers Hall about October 1.
The aim is to furnish home cooked food for men in S. A. T. C, which will supplement and vary the monotony of the regular mess. It will also provide an opportunity for children to visit first of the S. A. T. C, to visit at the time of the evening meal.
Each day will find a special dish such as hot biscuit and honey, waffles and syrup, hot cakes or some other none-such delicacy like "mother to make." The staple service on the menu is buttermilk, coffee, cocoa, doughnuts, pie, "popular and filling," sand-wiches and chili.
Plate dinners will be given special attention. Chicken pie and baked potatoes will wieve with baked ham and candied sweet potato for popularity. Swiss steak and breaded chops will appear often to lend variety. Kansas raised vegetables and fruits will be offered to fill in any possible gaps.
The service will be cafeteria style and in charge of young women of the

New 4-Term Plan Upsets Original Class-Schedules
College Courses of Former Years Not Much Changed for Civilian Students
The college schedule which had been prepared in the usual way and sent to the printer, was "scrapped" Saturday when Assistant Dean Patterson wrote a letter to all department heads asking them to prepare new schedules and then having newly adopted 4-term year and the requirements of the S. A. T. C. work.
Since the fourth or summer term will retain practically the same relation to other University work as was formerly held by the Summer Session, the problem confronting the departments is to transform the work of two 18-week terms into three 12-week terms.
The change will mean in most cases that 2-hour courses will become 3-hour courses and that 3-hour courses will become 5-hour courses. We have the revised schedule ready for the printer by the middle of next week.
"While the first efforts of the College are being given to the needs of the thousand or more students of the S. A. T. C," said Prof. D. L. Patterson, assistant dean of the College, "the interests of the citizen students in our community and subject to war modifications, courses will be given as in years past."
Students not in the S. A. T. C, are to register September 30 and October 1 and to enroll at the same time if possible and classes for these students are to begin the morning of October 2.
"The English department and publi speaking have already announced special courses designed to meet the needs of S. A. T. C. students. Other departments will do the same as rapidly as possible."
"Practically all the work that the College has offered heretofore will be offered this year for women and for men students not in the S. A. T. C." Professor Patterson added. "While the college faculty earns desirely desires to fulfill every bit of usefulness it provides, we wish to be wise to wishes the other members of the student family here to know that their interests will not be neglected, but that they will be given even opportunity just as heretofore."

Y. M. C. A. and Churches to Hold Open House—Stunt Party and Picnic Scheduled

Monday and Tuesday nights there will be get-to-gether meetings in Myers Hall. A stunt party has been scheduled in Myers Hall. If the weather permits a picnic supper is scheduled for Thursday night.

Every piece of good, conscientious work that you do from this day on will mean just that much more power to you. You can do it yourself. It comes your time and privilege to hit the Hun. Every minute at study, on the drill ground, at play on the athletic field or in healthy, tired sleep that comes with a well spent is a blow at the Hun.
Plan it now, to Hit the Hun all the time you are here. Stick to that plan of hitting the Hun. A math problem correctly done, an hour at healthful exercise and every waking hour filled with purposeful, wholesome work. All the time just hitting the Hun that much harder. The knockout punch is being prepared for him here at K. U, as surely as at General Foch's headquarters in France.

Red Triangle Hut Here May Have Old K.U.Man As Army "Y" Secretary
University Authorities Ereec Frank Parker, '09, to be Transferred from K. C.
Frank Parker, '09, secretary of the Army Y. M. C. A. at an automobile school in Kansas City, Mo., is expected to take the place vacated by "Dutch" Wedell as secretary of the University Y. M. C. A.
Since Mr. Wedell has been drafted into military service the K. U. Y. M. C. A. has been without a secretary. The members of the advisory board will be involved in the work and it is believed it will be taken over by the army board soon.
Mr. Parker has had much experience in Y. M. C. A. work. He served in war work at Camp Punishment a year ago. He graduated from the automobile school in Kansas City,
The old University Y. M. C. A. quarters in Myers Hall are to be turned over to the University Y. M. C. A. into the entertainment of mothers, sisters, wives, sweethearts and others who may visit the men of the S. A. T. C. An army Y. M. C. A. but exactly like the regulation red triangle buildings in all the bigtonnements will be erected on the place of the old "Y" quarters.
University authorities are quite eager that Mr. Parker be assigned to K. U. for the Army "Y" here. He was president of the University Y. M. C. A. in his undergraduate days at the University.
Patriotism Opens Homes In Lawrence to S. A. T. C.
University Appeals to Residents To House Men Until Barracks are Finished
"A strictly patriotic appeal is being made to every home in Lawrence to co-operate with the University and help house the 2,000 S. A. T. C. men who are arriving here now," said the head of the Y. M. C. A., advisory boards.
The housing of the S. A. T. C. men in Lawrence homes until the barracks are finished, which probably will be about October 1, has gradually become a problem that must be met fully and patriotically. Owners of men's rooming houses have become skeptical over the situation and some of them have refused to take S. A. T. C. men, fearing that the men will able to remain in the rooms only few weeks after taking for women rooms only. This has been the direct cause for the shortage of places for men.
Almost 400 rooms have been listed with the University employment bureau at the Y. M. C. A., and it is expected that many more who have never taken roomers will arrange to do so for the next few weeks. Many faculty members have offered to take one or two students.

It is believed that the fraternities will take care of at least five hundred
As hundreds of people are expected to visit here week-ends to see their sons in the S. A. T. C., the Y. M. C. A. is offering a special inducement to those who will agree to house men at this time.
"If they will take the boys until they go into the barracks," said Prof. Bungartner, "their names and ad-dresses are given." For a forced list, and any time in the year when visitors inquire for rooms we will refer them to the names on the barracks. At any time, the roomers probably will not have stenodyne rooms, yet they will obtain more
The Y. M.'C. A. is making every effort possible to increase its present rooming list. Students upon arriving in Lawrence should see Professor Bungartner at Meyer's Hall where a list of available rooms can be had.

Over the Top On W. S. S.
Twelve counties in Kansas have made cash purchases of more than $20 of TN's total revenue, one person of their entire population. Thirty-three other counties have purchased between $15 and $20 of Stamps per capita, while thirty-three counties are credited with $10 to $15 of Stamps per capita purchased. This leaves thirty-three more than one-half their quotas, and with three and one-half months of the calendar year left.
