Wedell is Back After Assisting in Religious Campaigns
“Dutch” Wedell is again in his office in Myers Hall after being away since the sixth of the month Manhattan and at Norman, OKla.
RETURNS FROM Y. M. WORK
"The Aggie and Oklahoma campaigns were very successful," said Wedell in telling of his trip. The leading spirit in each was Raymond Robins and, believe me, he made a strong appeal to those men when he told the story of his political experience in the seventeenth ward music ministry in the Industrial Conflict, and when he spoke upon the Changing Social Order, with all of which K. U. students are familiar.
"The campaigns were managed very similarly to the Mott-Robins campaign of last year. There was a campaign committee of approximately on hundred men and as a re-creation of the campaigns, 800 decisions were made.
"After leaving Norman Mr. Robins will cover the greater part of the United States, assisting in campaigns in many of the principal schools and colleges of hisinery tackles him at Austin, where he will visit the University of Texas for a week, all across the southern and central states, up into New England as far as the University of Maine, at Orono, and ending up the season at the United States at Annapolis, Md., on May 7."
Wedell served as secretary of the committee force which had the campaign at Manhattan in hand and which looked after the attendance and personal interviews. Other leaders who assisted in the campaign, L. Hammond, J. I. Childs, H. H. Graffton, E. J. Simonda, K. A. Kennedy, and numerous others not directly connected with the Y. M. C. A. work.

GO SOUTH, YOUNG MAN
Newspaper Editor Sees Opportunities for Journalists in Foreign Work
"A new cra is at hand for the American newspaper," said Walter Johnson, managing editor of the Topeka Capital in a talk to the students of journalism Wednesday afternoon. "The upheaval in European politics is bringing us into closer touch with the world," he said, field for the newspaper man. South America's commercial and economic life is also becoming more and more closely identified with our own," continued Mr. Johnson, "and this is giving us still another field for expansion to which newspaper men ought to be turning. A knowledge of modern technology is essential to the newspaper man of the future, as will also economics, sociology and psychology.
"If you have an ambition to mould public opinion and are willing to get down and 'dig', you have your great potential," Johnson told the students. "City, state, and national administrations are made or broken by the news writers of the country." He placed the emphasis above the influence of the editorial.
Accuracy, celerity, brevity, are the cardinal virtues of the reporter, the substance of opinions expressed by a number of active newspaper men which Mr. Johnson quoted, that he "said that the author is the first request." A 'nose for news', honesty, ability to make and keep friends, a good foundation in ordinary grammar and spelling, skill in using the typewriter, the capacity to take and obey orders and the power to exert control over the manner, were named as qualities which should supplement the ones given first place. A number of newspaper men quoted repeated Mr. Johnson's recommendation of a knowledge of economics, sociology, and the modus operandi of government granted and leave nothing to be taken for granted," was an admonition often repeated.
TWO INDIAN DANCES BY
SKILTON ARE POPULAR
Two Indian dances composed by Charles S. Skilton, professor of organ at the University of Kansas, are meeting with approval in the east. Last week the two compositions—the Deer Dance and the War Dance—were given before the Boston Art Club and the Twelfth Avenue Music Association String Quartet. As a result of the popularity of Professor Skilton's compositions, the Zoellens will use them regularly on the programs for encores.
"I wish you could have been in Boston to have witnessed the enthusiasm displayed after your dances were played," writes Joseph Zoellner to Mr. Skilton. "They will certainly remember." "They expressions of pleasure from musicians who were present at our concert come to us often."
Mr. and Mrs. Glen Miller, who visited in Lawrence Tuesday and Wednesday, left yesterday for their home in Salt Lake City, Utah.

LORENZ ON COMMITTEE SERVE LUNCH IN GYM
Appointed Chairman of State Body Which Will Co-operate With Army
H. A. Lorenz, instructor in physical training, has been appointed chairman of the state committee, which will cooperate with the national committee and the United States Army on the matter regarding the summer military training camp for students and business men. The object of the committee is to help the central association put before the people the information regarding this movement.
In July, 1913, the first training camp for students was held on the field of Gettyburg. The plan originated with Major-General Wood, U. S. A., and was part of the plan to arouse the young men of the country to a sense of their military responsibility, much more important than much interest that in 1914 and 1915, similar camps were held in different parts of the country.
Mr. Lorenz attended the camp at Plattsburg, N. Y. General Wood said, "I have inspected those 1,800 mech and their knowledge of military tactics surprised me. They have learned more in their five weeks' work, than the militia learns in three years or the regulars in six months."
"The scope of the work is immense," said Mr. Lorenz. "There are in this country 750,000 young men between the age of 19 and 24 who are fit for military training. A considerable proportion of these men are ready and eager to equip themselves to serve in war." The aim is to present to them. Such a plan is the summer training camp of the regular army.
GEN. WOOD SURPRISED
"The aim of the military training camp for students is to give the men four or five weeks military instruction under officers of the regular army in case of war, they would be in a position to officer the volunteer troops.
SUMMER CAMPS FOR STUDENTS
"The students attending these camps are well taken care of," says Mr. Drinker. "They have a five weeks vacation, pleasurable and beneficial to them, and the instruction, training, field surveying, given them, in the continuous five weeks' training, an insight into military matters. They are, in addition to the regular work, given ample time for recreation and socialization by authorities and students of the universities and colleges of the country."
President Henry S. Drinker of Lehigh University, is secretary of the advisory committee, which is composed of the presidents of Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Prairie, University California, Hima and Vanderbilt.
Women's Basketball Squad to Combine Lunch and Workout in Gym
Soup, piping hot, wienies and crisp, buttered toast will be served to order in the gymnasium every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1 to 1:30 o'clock for the Women's Freshmen basketball squads which are practicing three times a day at noon.
"We just simply couldn't get the floor for practice," said Miss Hazel Pratt. "The men were always on there when we wanted to use it, and so the women just decided to do their work at noon. We have fine practices from 12:20 to 1:00 o'clock, then while the girls are dressing our lunch is heating on the hot plate and we give a half hour of feast and fun."
The women are enthusiastic about the plan and are always out for practice. Games with other teams are being discussed by the Women's Athletic Association, and it is very probable that a game with the Bonner Springs high school five will be scheduled soon.
"The basketball games will be in the hands of the Women's Athletic Association altogether next year." The women, to have many good, fast games.
FLASH SCORE FROM M. U.
Books Grow Heavy Now
When Caesar sent his famous message "Veni, Vidi, Vici" to Rome announcing his victory at Zela, messengers carried it, but when Coach Hamilton sends a similar message to Washington, he is carried at Columbus February 15, it will be carried by the electromagnetic waves oscillated from the new wireless plant at the University of Missouri. The message will be received at the local wireless plant where the waves will be intercepted for the opu-
pose by the obeys department.
Hamilton Will Use Wireless to Announce K. U. Victory
The local wireless plant is proving useful in a number of ways. Messages are received and sent from the campus to Michigan, South Dakota, Washington University, and other places where wireless stations are located. The reception message was received from Graceland College, In., for a K, U, student.
There is also a wireless arrangement by which the correct astronomical time is received twice a day at the physics building and the clock in the seismograph is corrected to within one-tenth of a second of the exact time. (This is not the clock on top of Blake Hall.)
K. U. has had its wireless plant installed for nearly a year. Such plants are now being installed in most of the universities of the country.

PREFER LIBERAL ARTS
Few University of Kansas Students Enroll in Vocational
Courses
Students in the University of Kansas prefer the courses offered in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to the so-called vocational courses, according to statistics just compiled in the office of the Registrar.
The number of graduates from the College has increased almost 20 per cent in the last fifteen years. In 1900, with a total enrollment of 1150 students, 40 per cent of the graduates had been enrolled with an enrollment of 2812 students, the number graduated from the College was 59.44 per cent of the total.
SYSTEM IS INVESTIGATING
Four years ago, System, a Chicago magazine devoted to business, discovered, from reports submitted by the leading colleges and universities of the country that interest in the class of college students is the most students preferred. vocational courses which fitted them for earning a livelihood. System is making another investigation now to see what the trend in education is today. States have made schools and the article will be published in the March number.
The percentage of graduates from the School of Engineering in 1900 was 7.5 per cent of the total; in 1915 15.15 per cent of the total. The percentage remains comparatively the same as in 1900. The School of Pharmacy graduated 10 per cent in 1900 and decreased to 5.5 per cent in 1915. The School of Electronics graduated from 3 per cent to almost 5 per cent of the total number of graduates.
In 1906 the School of Medicine was added to the courses offered by the University and in 1911 the School of Education.
ADDED VOCATIONAL COURSES
A differentiation of the courses in the College makes it possible for students to fit themselves for life work as they are offered courses in home economics, journalism, commerce, teaching, design, and several other courses. A marked decrease in the number of students taking ancient language.

Both Teams Expect Victory in Basketball Game on Robinson Gym. Court
FARMERS HAVE VETERANS
And Will Try to Atone for Past Jayhawker Victories
Coach Carl J. Merrer, a man of no little reckoning because of his association with K. S. A. C. athletics, arrived in Lawrence this afternoon on Union Street. In fact, he brought with him eight men, the pick of the Aggie school from the standpoint of ability to perform on the basketball court. These eight men will stage their show with Robinson Gymnasium at 7:15 tonight.
A feeling of confidence came with this little party of Manhattanites for they think that their prospects for a life in New York are brighter than usual this year. They have never failed in past years to pick at least one feather from the proud Jayhawk's tail during the game, but they also have a desire to "jerk 'em all out."
Possibly they have good reason to think they can win the whole series of four games. They have six letter men on the trip and can depend upon playing five of them the time unless something happens. Their showing with the same team last year was good, but the best of the new Kansas five. But they are here to fight and they will fight.
MERNER EXPECTS BATTLE
Coach William O. Hamilton holds just about the same opinion. He has said that he have to play the best they have this season but he expects his men to win.
"We will have to play real basketball at Lawrence in order to defeat the Kansas fans," said Coach Merner. "We are going to revolt." "We are coining down to win, thou."
The game tonight will begin at 7:15 and will be over by 8:15, which will only take an hour's time from the busy studie who is spending the hours indoors these days. A mistake was made in the list of prices advertised for the clubs because they may be reserved for twenty-five cents stead of fifty. The same teams will play tomorrow night at the same time and in the same place.
The Aggie players who accompanied Coach Merner on the visit to K. U. are: Captain Adams, Reynolds and Van Trane, forwards; MacIrath and Leonard, centers; Ramssey, McMillan will stop at Tampa on his return trip to play a return game with the leabod five.
