Club To Kansas City
Applications For Vassar Training Camp Must Be Sent In Before May 10
Camp Course Must Be Followed By Two Years In Hospital
Blanks to use in making application for admission to the Vassar Training Camp for Nurses may be obtained at the English office, 201 Fraser. Application should be made before May 10.
The plan of the camp has been explained in earlier issues of the Kansan. Only college graduates are admitted to the course and those entering must go on to finish training in some approved hospital. A list of thirty hospitals is issued by the Rec Cross committee in charge of the plan, institutions which accept the three months of training at Vassar and the previous college course in place of a year of hospital training. This will reduce the hospital term to two years and three months instead of the usual three years. In some states, as in Illinois, the laws require three years for a nurse's training and hospitals can make no allowance for the college course, only three months for the Vassar term. A few hospitals in other places have reduced their requirements generally for college women, but others require the full three years for college women as for others. In practically all hospitals the training is free and living expenses are provided for, and some add a small monthly stipend as well.
Women taking the Vassar course are considered as entering at once on Red Cross service, and it is likely that they will have special advantages in opportunities for work. The better training a nurse has the greater the probability that she will reach positions of responsibility and authority. Another kind of training very desirable and one that may be obtained in shorter time than the hospital course, is in massage. In the convulsive hospitals and in the work of reconstructing wounded men, massage is much used. In Hart House in Toronto a special form of massage and use of electric appliances is taught. Six months' course of training, including many branches of physical therapy, is given. During training, which is free, students receive $25.00 a month. After graduation they are required to work in the hospital a year at a salary of $55.00 a month. Fe

Teams Evenly Matched For Swimming Meet
More Interest Is Shown in Races Than in Fancy Diving
Either a W. A. A. ticket or twenty-five cents will admit women of the University to the swimming meet in the 7:30 o'clock, Tuesday day night, May 7.
"It is impossible to give any doe on the winners," said Miss Hazel Pratt today. "Last year it was evident before the meet that the freshmen would win, but this year the teams are evenly matched."
The sophomores are depending upon Helen Brown for many of their points. Josephine and Jeannette Shafer have been showing up well for the freshmen. Margaret Hodder, for the seniors, and Maurine Clark for the juniors are doing unusually good work.
More interest is being shown in the races than in the fancy diving. The seniors have a strong relay team.
"About $4.00 worth of salvage was sold last week," said Marc Margaret Lynn today. "More than this was collected, but part was not sold."
The officials for the meet are:
Coach Hamilton, starter; Miss Laird,
Miss Duffield, and Mrs. Humble,
judges.
Salvage Collection
To Encourage Thrift
Lucene Spencer, head of the salvage committee, said, "It is not the object of the salvage collection to make money only, but to prevent the destruction of useful material and to encourage conservation along this route. The process of the loss can not be measured by the amount of money made alone but by the spirit of economy and conservation it encourages."
'Comus' Costums To Be Typical Of Seventeenth Century Setting Of Play
Audience Will Be Seated On Hillside West of the Museum
Special lighting effects have been worked out for the outdoor performance of "Comus" to be given Thursday night. Electric lights will be placed on the stage on the golf links by the University electrician.
"The play will be given west of the Museum just across the ravine on the golf links," said Herman Hangen, manager of the play. "The stage will face the west and will be set off with a rural screen. Chairs will be arranged on the slope of the hill for the audience."
"Costumes for the whole cast have been received from the Harrelson Costume Company of Kansas City," said Miss Geneva Parker of the public speaking department, who has charge of the costumes, "I spent two days picking out correct costumes for my role in the play and in the way of costuming to make the play realistic in the seventeenth century English setting."
Tickets for the play now are being sold by the W. S. G. A. officers, at the Registrar's Office and at the Round Corner Drug Store.
Kansas Nine Fielding In Top Form Before Series With Tigers
Jayhawker Slugging on Slump But Pitchers Are Working In Good Form
With but one day left for real practice before the all-important series with Missouri at Columbia May 8, 9, and 10, Coach Jay Bound intends to put his Jayhawker nine through a hard workout on McCook field this afternoon if the weather permits and take things easy tomorrow. The team will leave Tuesday night for the Tiger camp and will begin the series for the Valley leadership on Rollins Field Wednesday.
The team has been fielding in top form during the last week, as is shown by the fact that in the Normal game, twenty assists and twenty-seven putouts were accepted without an error. But the hitting has not been so good and the team batting average for the four games which have been played is only .217. However, if the nine continues to present a strong defense and the pitchers are in good form, a few hits should go a long way toward winning the series from Missouri.
Little is known about the strength of the Missouri nine, except that there are four "M" men on the team and that the Tigers won two of the three games played with Ames three weeks ago. Urie, the Tiger star pitcher, is new to Missouri Valley baseball this year, but has turned in some well-pitched games thus far in the season. Morris, the Missouri catcher, is a veteran, as is Captain Slusher on first base, Dennis at short stop and Dippold in left field.
The record of the Kansas team is as follows:

Plain Tales From The Hill
Summer Y. W. C. A. Service
The summer conference of the Y.
W. C. A. will be held at Hollister in the Ozark Mountains from June 25 to July 5. Last year a large number attended the meeting in the mountains. In previous years the conference has been held at Estes Park. Registrar George O. Foster will speak about the conference at 3 o'clock at the Y. W. C. A. meeting in Myers Hall Tuesday.
"Yes, he has a slow one and then for a change of pace he uses a slower one," answered the indignant Rehm.
Rehm, the Emporia Normal pitcher, was telling his men that Slawson the Kansas pitcher had nothing on the ball and one player informed Rehm that Slawson had a change of pace that he did not like.
Bill Hargiss says he "has a good ball club at home but that they look like a bunch of sheep every time they play on McCook Field."
A freshman who had been reprimanded severely by several upperclassmen for poor grades he had been getting this semester, said in defense of himself "Well fellows, just this week I have brought my grade in Chem up from a flunk to an unsatisfactory."
Would it be altogether amiss to say that a newspaper man always has pressing business?
Rooom: "It's kind of you to admit your mental deficiency so frankly."
Irritated: "For heaven's sake, stop the noise. It distracts my 'piece of mine.'"

Dean Templin Returns After Doing Important Work On Food Board
Seven Hundred Institutions Study Conservation Courses
Directed Collegiate Section
Forty Thousand College Women Now Taking Food Administration Lessons
Dean Templin first went to Washing to serve on the Committee of Public Information. Then the Food Administration asked him to take the position of director of the Collegiate Section of the Food Administration, to organize a campaign for food control among the educational institutions of the country. This position is an important one and has reflected much credit on the University of Kansas as well as upon the dean himself.
Dean Olin Templin, who has been in Washington serving as director of the College Segment of the Federal Food Administration under Herbert Hoover, federal food administrator, since January, returned to the University Sunday. Plans are still indeterminate. He will remain at the University or return to Washington, but it is expected he will remain here.
First, a corps of editors was organized to publish three courses of study, the first of which is now being given to the women of this and many other universities. The other two courses are more advanced. They are being given in 700 institutions, and are reaching 40,000 women. The courses are made compulsory in some institutions, optional in some, and are given for credit in others. But as a whole there has been a hearty response to the call by the different educational institutions in the country.
TEACHING FOOD WISDOM
STATE SECRETARIES APPOINTED
The hope of the Food Administration in this movement is that the university woman become an intelligent leader. In all its work of food conservation,
STATE SECRETARIES APPPOINTED
At present appointments are being made for state secretaries for college women's work. Miss Mary Capper, sister of the governor, has been held for this position in Arkansas. She will get acquainted with the young women in the state, interest them in the movement, and in general handle the situation throughout her state.
Dean Templin said there was a mistake that the average man in Washington knew any more about the war than the average man anywhere else in the United States. The average man in Washington gets his information of the war by reading the newspapers, just as he does in Kansas. Yes, he had met McAdoo, had almost been run down by the President's motor car and knew Hoover very well, but outside of that his experience has been work and work. There is no loafing in Washington these days, Dean Templin said, and chances of picking up illuminating "inside" information in clubs and hotels and such places is nil.
Dean Templin has been in Washington since January. On his way home from Washington he stopped at a college deans to attend a meeting of college deans.
In Washington you can always tell a food administration man by his hair. It invariably needs cutting. Washington barber shops are not open at nights or Sundays, which prevents the food administration man from attending punctually to a proper trimming of his hair. Dean Templin got a hair cut at Urbana and as a result arrived in Lawrence with a bad cold.
The work of lowering the roof for Prof. C. A. Dykstra's late barn-garage, now his garage, was finished Saturday. The southwest corner of the roof, which had been damaged by fire, was nearly patched with new shingles. A 4-inch strip was nailed across each gable end to hide artistically the line made by sawing the boxing, which had to be done to permit the roof to be lowered.
