ALL K. U. WILL WELCOME CO. M
MAY MUSTER OUT TODAY
"Thundering Thousand" and Band Will Greet Solliers From Border
If plans materialize the semi-monthly convolution Friday will be used as the formal "welcome-home" for the students of the University in Company M. Captain Jones was in Lawrence Saturday and said that the company would probably be mustered out of service today or tomorrow, although no definite information to come from the part of Chancellor Frank Strong to get a final answer on the question up until noon today had failed, but he expects to get a reply at the latest by tomorrow morning.
If the final arrangements can be made in any reasonable time a program including talks by Chancellor Strong and a report by Dr. James Naismith, chaplain of the company and University physician, will be made available on hotet border will also have an opportunity to tell their experiences.
The plans are indefinite but all those who were asked of their opinion in the matter expressed their willingness to do their part in making the welcome a genuine one. Cheerleader Gedney was unable to decide on a course to take but promises to have done so. The soldiers firing line to welcome the soldiers if it is finally settled that the boys will be here by Friday.
"The Band will be on hand if the boys come home," said Director McCanes this morning, "and it is our hope that we will have to play in the gymnasium to a bigger crowd than the boys of Hall. The boys should be welcomed with all the enthusiasm that K. U. men can summon."
Convocation will be held Friday in any event and the new system of shortening the length of the morning periods to make time for the meeting of all classes will be used according from the Chancellor's office today.
SHEA INSTALLS
NEW FIRE PUMP
Danger From Fire Decreased by New Device at Potter
Lake
The members of the chorus "Chimes of Normandy" are being subjected to strenuous practices these days. The opera will be produced November 23 and 24, and the orchestra will be anxious to give a production that will maintain the reputation of the School of Fine Arts.
Henceforth it will not be necessary for the engineer to run from the power plant to Putter's Lake to start the pump. When you open a New starting box, which will make it possible to operate the pump at the lake from the engine room, was installed last week by John M. Master-independent of buildings and grounds.
The first of the University Districts meetings was held Friday night at the home of Miss Corbin, 1108 Ohio about a week ago were present, and evening is going very informally. The meetings are to be held every month.
Potter's Lake was first constructed, at a cost of $8,000, in order that the University might have an abundance of water power for general purposes and particularly for the maintenance of the railroad. It followed Hill, regardless of the city supply. This work was begun in 1911 and completed in 1912.
The pump is now controlled directly from the power plant. It is operated by a motor, and supplies the big mains on the Hill with a pressure gauge to square inch. This is sufficient to stream a clear over Fraser Hall.
"From the Administration Building to the Cupola on Fraser in five seconds is to much to ask from any one," said a student, this morning, who has found that he cannot make sense of it. He also names the names of two professors who hold classes so late that he was always late to the next class.
In case of a fire, Mr. Shea's office the power plant, or the city fire department, should be notified. A prolonged whistle is the fire signal.
Inspections of apparatus an equipment are made twice a year.
Chorns Doing Extra Work
Almost Too Much
MANY STUDENTS ARE INOCULATED
Friday Sees Biggest Rush Yet for the University Hospital Force
"SHOTS" ARE GIVEN TO 480
Women Are More Faithful in Taking Later Treatments Than Men
Last Friday was the busiest day yet at the University Hospital. 480 men came to the hospital during the day to take the typhoid inoculations, making a total of over one thousand infections given to students this year.
Nearly three times as many men as women have taken the treatments, but the men have not returned as regularly to take the full series of treatments. 175 of the 480 who were there were taking their first inoculations.
No new cases have been reported during the week.
Tomorrow afternoon is the day set aside for University women to receive inoculation, and the hospital force is preparing to give many inoculations. Last Tuesday, 148 women were inoculated. The difference in the comparatively small number of women vaccinated compared to the number of men is attributed by the health authorities to be due to the fact that so far most of the typhoid cases resulting in the University have been confined to men.
"Even though the women of K. U. are not so eager for inoculation as the men, they are more conscientious in returning for the second and third 'shots,'" said the nurse in charge at the University Hospital this morning.
"The hospital authorities are anxious that every one has taken the first inoculation should return to treatment, but only those which are ten days apart. Without all three inoculations, the typhoid serum has little or no effect whatever underlining the person receiving the treatments immune from typhoid fever."
MONEY PLUS FRIENDS
Y. W. C. A. Likes New Plan of Financing
"The advisory board brought in $100 more than was expected. This sum assured the raising of the ex-tenant and staff budget," said Miss Anne Gittsen; this morning, "We asked for $1800, $1200 from the University women and we will get it; the advisory board and we will take care of the remaining $600."
K. U, watched the Y, W. clock and it read $1025$, Saturday morning Some of the committees have not reported.
The captains are more enthused than ever with the new plan of financing the Y. W. C. A. "It means more than money to us too," remarks one woman, "My acquaintance list has enlarged fifty per cent."

BUT THEY HAD LUNCH
HOWEVER YOU PUT T
For some reason, Dr. Raymond C Moore, of the geology department forgot to tell the young men of the Geology I class, who took a field trip to Lecompton, Saturday, that the young men would have until about two o'clock in the afternoon. The result was that several failed to provide themselves with lunches, and had to walk to Lecompton to get their dinner. The young women were more thoughtful and engaged than the young women at where the young women ate, Dr. Moore replied, "We ate on the bank of the river."
HIGH SCHOOLS WILL DEBATH
Extension Division Enrolls 48 Kansas Schools in Debating
League
The big seventh district has responded enthusiastically to the circular letters recently mailed out from the office of the Extension Division. It also organized a national organization of debating teams in high schools to compete in the state debating league. The question for the debate would be: "Resolved: That the district shall operate the public telephone and telegraph systems of this country."
F. R. Hamilton, director of the department, has received applications for ten positions and for entrance in the league. Of these twenty-two came from the "Big Seventh" camp. L. E. Fitts, superintendent of schools at Ashland, is district director.
Schools in the following towns of that district have already applied for entrance: Hoisington, Ransom, Fower, Liberal, Ashland, Coldwater, Hutchinson, Sterling, Pratt, Greenbush, Dale City, Bucklin, Ford, Krippen, Harper, Norwich, Great Bend, Kinsley and Ellinwood.
The debating league has become a permanent institution in the state and it is under the direction of the extension division. Each of the last three years has seen a marked increase in the enrollment. This year, forty-six percent have applied for admission and two districts are still to be heard from.
The debates are conducted in much the same manner as a tennis tournament. For example, in the seventh district, there will be eleven debates each year; the winner of each debate will compete against each other until, through elimination, the champion debating team of the district is selected. This team will meet the champions from some other district, and we will continue until the contest has been reduced to two teams, and this closing debate will decide the contest.

PRESSURE LOW SATURDAY;
NO WATER IN ALOBIATORIES
A broken pump in the pumping station of the Lawrence water works caused considerable trouble in the morning and early day. The supply of water which is usually low was lacking Saturday morning. A broken shaft on the low service pump broke early in the morning, causing a small supply of water in the basins.
The pressure gauge at the fire station at Eighth and Vermont streets showed a pressure of 65 pounds at nine o'clock Saturday. At one o'clock the gauge registered 24 pounds. The repairs were made promptly and by the middle of the afternoon the normal supply of 80 pounds was reached.
Dean Harold Butler and Mrs. Butler will give concerts at Minneola, Pratt, Stafford, Great Bend, Kinsley, and White City this week.

3500 WORKERS— ONE COMMITTEE
Student Council Will Organize Entire Student Body to Boost Mill Tax
WRITE LETTERS HOME
Special Convocation May Be Called to Instruct Student Campaigners
Organization of the entire University into a committee of 3,500 to boost for the mill tax this fall and winter will be the first move of the Men's Student Council in the coming fight for better financial support for state schools, Paul Greuer, presi- dent of the Council announced this morning.
A special convocation will, if possible, be called in the near future for the purpose of setting forth the various phases of the student's experience enlisting the support of every student and faculty member on the Hill. Student and outside speakers will explain the various phases of the student life and the need to present student body in the art of campaigning.
A committee of three, appointed by the Men's Student Council, will co-operate with the executive board to ensure that students in directing the student workers.
"The time is ripe to shove the tax through," Greever declared today, "Sentiment throughout the state is generally favorable, and I think we shall have little difficulty in demonstrating that the state schools, the University in particular, are badly in need of more money.
"I hope that every student in the University will either write or personally interview his representative who will have a chance to win if we work."
Greever strongly endorsed Jap Glasco's suggestion to change the name of the measure, striking out "tax" and substituting "permanent maintenance bill." "The mere presence of the word tax on the ballot will cost the bill more than a few votes," he said. "People do not want to pay tax, but they do not object to a bill providing for permanent maintenance for educational institutions. This is a minor detail, of course, but minor details sometimes spell the difference between victory and defeat."
