DR. WILCOX TELLS OF GRECIAN LIFE
NUMBER 35
Situation During Present World Crisis Explained by K. U. Man
GREECE DIVIDED IN WAR
Hope That Greeks of Asia and Europe be United Expressed in Lecture
"And now poor Greece is left shattered and uncertain even whether it will retain the lands already won by its sacrifices."
Thus Dr. A, M. Wilcox, head of the department of Greek, brought to a close his address on "Greece as a factor in the European Conflict," in Fragmentation of Greece, Wilcox was introduced by Dean F. W. Blackmar of the graduate school.
Dr. Wilcox was elected professor of Greek language and literature at the University in 1885, and has been in active teaching service until recent years when he taken graduate work at John Hopkins University, and was professor of Greek at Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn., before coming to the University of Kansas. He has taught at the University and the Orient and has lived in Athens.
Doctor Wilcox spoke under the auspices of the college faculty. His was the second of the series of faculty lectures planned for this year. The platform was decorated in Grecian flags for the occasion. Stereotypic slides of ancient and modern Greeks added vividness to the address. He led a Greek philobyte from the time of Alexander the Great through the turbulent and bloody years of conflict with the Turks to the present war.
"Greece unfortunately has been divided against herself in the present war. It is certainly a very difficult position in which King Constantine is now placed." he said, "he had to win the battle of the beginning of the war and allowed Greek troops to go to Gallipoli he probably would have helped to capture Constantinople, freed the Greeks of Turkey and secured a large extension of his rule over the Greek islands and ceased to be an enemy." He added that the allies win in the end.
"The problems confronting Greece have been many and her resources slight. She has few fertile fields and little land to grow. Ordinary roads cost $3,000 per mile. The wonder is that she has achieved so much in so short a time. Yet her people still hark back to the old race with its quick intelligence, love for art and music, an enthusiasm for democracy, and capacity for commerce and enterprise."
Doctor Wilcox closed with the hope that Greece may yet prove her title to rule the Greeks of Asia as well as Europe.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS FRIDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 27, 1916.
LAWRENCE WATER COMPANY
HAS WATER TO WAISTI
Moses in the very act of producing water from the rocks had nothing on the Lawrence city fathers. Water, rich and yellow, bubbling in super abundance from the very bricks on Massachusetts street, flowed, courseed and edied from the rotten mains down the river, to the corner where is disappeared in the rocks from whence it came.
Many a stray dog or weary horse drank greedily from the floor, raised his eyes to heaven and gave thanks for the bounty of Lawrese.
DOCTORS REPORT NO NEW CASES
University Authorities Think Typhoid Epidemic Nearly Over at K. U.
"No new typhoid cases today" was the message from the University Hospital this morning.
With the situation well in hand, Dr. John Sundwalt, head of the University health department, and his corps of helips are feeling very optimistic over the epidemic which threatened the students of the Hill. The number of new cases has been decreasing each day for the last week.
"All of the patients here at the hospital are getting along nicely," said Doctor Sundwall this morning, when she met a patient who went home is recovering. But we are not giving up the fight just because no new cases have developed. We are still busy and we have been taking an entire epidemic has been forgotten."
This afternoon inoculation is reserved for men only. On Tuesday women only are accepted for inoculation. But on other afternoons both men and women are privileged to receive the inoculations.
"We especially urge that every student receive inoculations," said Doctor Sundwall. "It isn't too late yet. Some of the cases have developed through the student's failure to report soon enough. And others were slack in reporting on time each week, with many suffering from much confusion. And inoculation means absolute freedom from the disease if taken in time."

Tryouts will be continued Saturday at 9:30 in Room 3, Green Hall.

STUDENTS GIVE TO RELIEF FUND
Armenian People Forced to Eat Grass to Keep From Starving to Death
The interest in the Armenian Relief fund is growing as the students hear and read of the great suffering among those people. It has been said by reliable authorities that a dollar would be worth about a month. Many of the children daily ask their mothers how long it will be before they can eat another real meal. The people have been forced to eat grass, but even that has been overstated, and starving by the thousands just for the want of the smallest of rations.
The conditions of the living in Syria is far more pitiful than death. Who would not prefer a sudden death or starvation? Some families have not been able to survive for months and live on dog meat. The money that a student would spend in one day, would bring joy and salvation to one woman or child every month.
Of the two million Armenians that were in Turkey a year ago one million have suffered severely. Many have been burned alive, hundreds have ben shot down, others have had their throats cut in wholesale numbers, or deported to Arabia, to spend the rest of their life in exile. Even if the Turks overlooked, if the Turks could not take them prisoners they killed the men, threw the babies into the rivers, and deported the women.
Many people all over the world are denying themselves some of the bare necessities that they may be able to contribute to the relief fund. An example of this it that of a country preacher, who receives $80 a month salary and has promised to contribute one half of this to the relief fund. Another example is of an old woman that had no money to spare, but she sent an old shawl, of quite a little value as an antique, to be sold for the relief fund.
RUMOR NOT CONFIRMED
Company M Remains at Fort Riley Awaiting Orders
Rumors that the boys of Company M would be retained in the service pending the peaceful settlement of the case, could not be verified today. On the other hand, post officials at Ft. Riley are of the opinion that the boys will not be held, declaring the mustering out would continue without interruption.
Members of Company M who have been home on a furlough are ordered to report at army headquarters not later than nine oclock Saturday night. These men disclaiming any official request from service come some time Monday.

NAUGHTY RALLY BREAKS CLASSES
Seniors Laws Invoke Engineering Building and the Rally Begins
PROFS ARE INDIGNANT
One Prof Threatens Use of Club
—Another Takes Student
Names
K. U. Spirit broke loose this morning at 10:30 in the form of a "Naughty Rally." After the dismissal of the 9:30 classes a group of Senior Laws invaded the Engineering Building, and the Engineers who were passing between classes imminently took up the cry of "Rally Rally."
Classes had convened before the noise fully commenced, and it took thirty-five minutes to clean the classes in Marvin Hall of the last engineer. The few professors who worked here had to give up their impossible to get any work done on account of the cries of the mob and the clattering of paddles.
PROFS INDIGNANT
Indignation ran high in the ranks of the professors, but the utter impossibility of holding recitations finally won the point for the mob. A number of classes were entered and students were carried out bodily. In October, a body profession was wrestled in the crowd and narrowly escaped injury.
In the absence from the city of Dean Walker, Prof. G. C. Shaad, head of the department of electrical engineering gave out the following statement: "If anything will be done to punish the offenders in this rally, it is regrettable that such a thing should happen, but it would be impossible to put the blame on any one, or a definite amount of fault." The evidence of mob madness, and no good will come out of it. On the other hand there will be no particular harm done. An hour's classes can be easily made up, but as far as I can imagine, only a few attempt at a mob spirit that rapidly dying out."
WAS A BIG RALLY
The "Naughty Rally II" left the Engineering Building three hundred strong and invaded the Administration Building. More stubborn opposition was met with there than had been found in the Engineering Building. One professor stood at the door with a big club, threatening any student who might dare enter. After some delay on the part of the disastrous class, the class was entered. Needless to say it was immediately dismissed.
Two professors on the second floor held the crowd at bay until the 11:00 whistle blew. One of the professors took the names of all those he knew. He did not state what he intended to do with the list.
With the exodus of the crowd at 11:30 the rally proceeded to the Law Building, where classes were entered and broken up. Fraser Hall was next entered and a number of classes there were broken up.
Classes at 11:30 were generally demoralized, especially in the Engl-
BROKE UP EARLY
For the lack of a definite leader and any definite purpose the crowd disbanded at noon, some of the crowd going to their classes late, but the majority going home for lunch a half hour early.
Breaking up classes seemed to be the paramount object of the mobs, and just how well they did it was evidenced by Fraser Hall—over 500 men.
The majority of the professors whose classes were broken up by the students, and many of the crowds. In the Engineering school this was generally the case, but in the College classes, the spirit to stop the crowds was more preva-
GLAD TO SEE SPIRIT
"It is gratifying to know that, Kansas Spirit has really broken out," said Skin Greeyer, president of the Men's Student Council, but on the other hand it is regrettable that it had to break out in such a manner. do think that such rallies do a good job of raising awareness of interference with in the manner that was prevalent in the crowd this morning."
