REGULATION PADDLES NEEDED SAY STUDENTS
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 2 1917.
Uppercasemen and Pressmen Agree Paddles Should be of Uniform Size
CAPS NEED LONGER BILLS
Few Would start Ruthless Warfare on Frosh—Suggest Daisy Picking Contest
Fifty per cent of the college upperclassmen expressed a desire for the adoption of a definit-sized paddle, and nearly all of the freshmen in the College indicated that their crying need was a standard whacking stick. The upperclassmen in the School of Engineering favored 'paddling', but some of them—as well as many members of the other schools—thought the bills of the caps should be longer for Protection for freshmen's eyes. A larger cap would also favour the abolition of the cap tradition. Some of them wanted a scrap between the sophomores and the freshmen to decide the case.
LAWS URGE CAUTION
A a few of the law students would regulate the size of the paddle and have longer bills on the caps. Even those terrible, rough, fresh-eating Laws wish to use more care when paddling the cap-rule offenders!
And now that we have shown that the students of the University really took the "paddler" questionnaire" series, we have also taken other raisons d'eater for the pickle.
Unlimited warfare. Ruthless paddling without warning. Use two-hyphens. Use a lake like? Why change? The old-time tradition is good enough for me.
Nothing under a ball-bat barred. Ain't we got to loosen their hides in some manner? Our country needs to have the fresh in submission. Why not have a gauntlet in an endless circle and have the freshmen run through it until the paddles wear out? All paddles should be swung forward (or forward) so they would variate way) to the sound of the spring. Why not have a rock or club fight between the fresh and the sophomores? Use tooth-picks!
And some suggested that the sophomores have a vigilance committee to clip the forelock of the offender's hair. The poor devils should be given a chance, says an engineering frosh. Have a daisy-picking contest history? Do you want to decide the fate of the caps. And last but by no means least: Why should a man be padded when he is with an ordinary permanent date?
ENROLLING IDEAS WANTED
Faculty Committee Will Devise New System of Signing for Classes
Prof. John N. Van der Vries, of the department of mathematics has issued a call for ideas. A committee of seven has been appointed by the college faculty to find some method of improving the system of enrollment, of which Professor Van der Vries is president. A. T. Walker, E. Haworth, C. A. Dykstra, L. E. Sisson, T. T. Smith and E. NeuenSchwander.
"K. U. is one of the six largest colleges in America," said Professor Van der Vries this morning, "and we have a difficult problem before us on how to teach all students at Eastern schools classes may be run up in number past the hundred mark because the courses are entire lectures and it is up to the students to absorb the knowledge. Here, however, where students are given the freedom of choice in their course recitation the problem of enrollment is an extremely complicated one."
The committee wants suggestions for any possible way of bettering conditions for enrolling the student body. These suggestions may be sent in writing to the chairman by either individuals or organizations.
Wins Musical Scholarship
Some time ago, an old grad returned to the University for a visit. He remarked that the various memorials reminded him of a cemetery. Wonder what he would think if he should see the patches of newly turned sod that decorate the campus now.
The scholarship given by the Mu Phi Epsilon sorority was won by Edna Hopkins, fa'18, of Lawrence. Miss Hopkins is making a specialty of violin. The scholarship is given annually to the woman who has best applied herself throughout the year and it is considered a high honor to win it.
Miss Constance Siford, instructor of English in the Kansas State Agricultural College, spent Sunday at the Gamma Phi Beta house.
WAR MAY HINDER BUILDING OF ADMINISTRATION WING
Chancellor Frank Strong was in Topeka Friday afternoon on business relative to the new addition to the Administration Building. It is possible that part of the building will be in use by this time next year but it will depend largely upon whether the work is started at once.
Chancellor Strong believes the present war cloud may hinder work, es- tablishing steel construction due to the heavy demand on the steel supply of the country.
"LOYALTY DAY" FOR ALL LAWRENCE THURSDAY
Citizens, Students—Everybody Out for Patriotism Mass Meeting
Meeting
Music, a huge parade, big mass meetings, outdoor speaking, and a patriotic gathering at night will be features of the "Loyalty Day" which will be observed in Lawrence Thursday afternoon by both the city and the University. Contrary to the story of last week that convocation would be held Thursday morning Chancellor Frank Strong said this morning that K.K. was with many down people in the afternoon in abroad nation that Lawrence and the University of Kansas are thoroughly patriotic.
There will be classes all morning Thursday but school will be dismissed in the afternoon for the exercises. A young student in the University was urgently invited to remain in Lawrence long enough to take part in the parade which is to start at 1:30 o'clock, probably from South Park. Much of the success of them will depend upon the interest shown by the K. U. students in the celebration.
In the procession scheduled for the afternoon, the University band and K. U. students, Companies M and H, the Haskell battalion, the Haskell band, Lawrence school children, the boy scouts and the citizens of Lawrence will take part. Later there will be probably in South Park but the definition is the meeting at the meeting, of the general city committee tonight. Doctor Strong will be one of the speakers on the program in the afternoon.
The celebration of this day is following the proclamation of Governor Capper to observe Friday, April 6, as Loyalty Day. Lawrence is holding his graduation one day earlier than the University of Kansas may join in the program.
ADA DYKES WITHDRAWS
FROM "IF I WERE DEAN"
Ada Dykes, c17, who was to have carried the leading role in the senior play, "I Were Dean," has been forced to withdraw from the cast on account of a serious attack of larynitis and quinsy.
Miss Dykes was taken sick a week ago Friday but it was not until Thursday that the case threatened to prove serious. Her father, Dr. H. A. Miller, who was called and she was immediately placed care of a trained nurse. Miss Dykes will not be able to attend classes again until after the Easter vacation.
SHOW LACK OF ORGANIZATION
Hash House League Teams Gives Poor Exhibition of Ability
It has not been definitely decided
who will be chosen to take Miss
Dorothy in the senior play cast,
but the choice will be announced early
this week.
The first games played by members of the Hash House League on Hamilton on Field Saturday were marked by a successful and an unusual supply of medicine to some of the clubs, the announcement of the first games Friday came as a surprise and their first games are a chance to get a line-up in their msg.
Saturday
The Union club was the only club failing to appear, thus forfeiting to the Dunakin club. The game between the Stevenson club and the K. U. club was the closest of the five games. The team lost to 10.

SPEAIGHT TO GIVE RECITALS
To Present Tale of Two Cities In Fraser Hall Wednesday Afternoon
Afternoon
Frank Spearhead will close the University lectures this year with a dramatic recitation of Dickens' "A Tale of Tomorrow." Fraser Hall Wednesday afternoon.
He has appeared at many educational institutions in Dickens interpretations for years. He has given recitals at the University of Chicago twenty-nine times, Witherspoon Hall, Philadelphia, sixteen times, and at the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, fifteen times.
Mr. Speaight is ranked as an actor and not as a dramatic reader. He gives his recitals without stage accessories or make-up.
When Mr. Speaight gave a Dickens recital here last year, he drew a crowd which filled all the seats and standing room in Fraser Hall.
Thirteen students of Professor Flinn's classes in the department of journalism went to Kansas City Saturday morning. They visited the Union Bank Note Company and saw the different kinds of printing and lithograph; the Baird Engraving Company, which metched the process of making half ten copies. Ferry-Henley Advertising Agency which displayed general advertising.
The program begins at 4:30 o'clock and the presentation takes fully one hour.
JOURNALISTS VISIT K. C
After lunch they visited the Star plant and was there when the street edition of the Star was run. At the United Press offices they found Gilbert Clayton a former K. U. man in charge of the plant.

Water has been piped from Fraser Water clistern to the animal house in South Hall where it will be used to grow the poles for the department of zoology.
SOPHS WILL DANCE TO SOFT CREEPY MELODY
Final arrangements for the Soph Hop music have been made by Kenneth Bell. The regular run of music will be discarded and specialty numbers will make up the program. Haley, who will lead the Hop orchestra, has chosen his instruments with this idea in view.
axaphones and Marimbaphone Will Furnish Thrills for Haley's Orchestra
His orchestra will number thirteen pieces, including three saxophones, two marimbaphonones, two violins, piano cornet, cello, treblebone, drum, timpani, and tuba; we have proved so popular, will be featured with the 'cello in two of the waltzes, "Auf Wiedersehr," from Beethoven, and "Love Moon" from Chin Chin.
The marimbaphones will be a new thing for Kansas parties. Their music is similar to chimes except that the tones are deeper and deeper. They look something like a set of wood with small metal of carbon wood in large metal major instruments below. For these instruments the orchestra will have two players who were with the amous Marimba Band at the Guatemala pavilion at the San Francisco store. These instruments will play with the xylophone in specialty numbers.
After some difficulty, Manager Bell has devised a way to throw the music over the floor. At former parties the gallery in the Gym has deadened the sound. To remedy this, Bell has secured one of the large sounding pianos from the Kansas City and will place it above orchestra at the west end of the floor.
"Many students have been confusing this dance with the Sophomore party," says Bell, "and they think it is necessary to bring a sophomore girl. It is not required. Everybody is invited to attend. Although it is given by one class, it is for the whole school."
A MUSICAL TREAT APRIL 19
Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra Will Appear in Concert in Gymnasium
The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, under the leadership of Emil Oberhoffer, will appear in Robinson gymnasium April 19th. A matinee will be given at 2:30 and the regular concert at 8:20 in the evening.
The orchestra is maintained by the people of Minneapolis where for twenty-four weeks it holds daily rehearsals and gives from two to four concerts a week. At the close of the home season it makes a spring tour of the orchestra; the musicians of the orchestra are; Charles Hershert baritone; Marie Kaiser, soprano; Jean Vincent, contralto; and Royal Dadun, baritone.
BIG CROWD HEARS ORATORIO
Lawrence Choral Union Wor Approval With "Seven Last Words of Christ."
The Lawrence Choral Union presented Dubois' oratorio, "The Seven Last Words of Christ", in the Robin's Hole and hundred persons took part assisted by an orchestra of thirty pieces, piano and organ. Prof. W. B. Downing. Alta Smith and Ray Gafney were the choir conductor. Prof. Arthur Nevin was conductor.
The entire hall was filled, every seat being taken, about 200 standing and more than 500 were turned up. The staff worked hard since last fall to make this production a success. Dean Butler said this morning that this concert was most successful, even before the program last year or ever before.
He was greatly pleased at the support and interest given to it by the public. The local churches held no service last evening so that the people might have a chance to attend.
GREEK LETTER SOCIETIES
ASKED TO FIND OLD GRADS
Fraternities and sororites of De-Pauw have been called upon by Dean Post to give assistance to the University in finding the addresses of students who met De-Pauw between the years of 1865 and 1910, but who did not graduate.
For some time the college has desired to complete a list of its former students with their present addresses, and has been securing a degree. Let her help by Deny McMittie is now seriously engaged in securing this data. A card catalogue of all the non-graduates of the institution has been made. These people are 10,000—4,700 of whom have been enrolled in the College of Liberal Arta.

In order to stimulate interest and further desire in current and political affairs, state, national and foreign, fifteen University women founded the Women's Forum" Saturday afternoon after a new organization is intended to do business what the International Polity Club has done for men.
Round table discussions led by members of the faculty or some outside speaker will be the feature of every meeting. A committee was appointed to secure speakers and set the time for the next meeting which will probably be Wednesday after Easter vacation.

CHANCELLOR TO DECIDE
Dean Butler Mailed Only 200 Circulars—No More Until Contest Closes
A petition sent the Chancellor by members of the faculty of the language department in the College will be answered by Doctor Strong as soon as he has time to investigate the matter and answer the Chancellor will outline the situation as she sees it and answer all questions raised by the petition.
The question of whether the School of Fine Arts shall occupy the new $75,000 part of the $225,000 addition to the College will finally be decided by the Board of Administration. In the petition sent to Chancellor Strong, members of the College faculty asked that the $75,000 part for use of the language department.
F EW BUTLER LETTERS MAILED
This petition was the result of a circular which Harold L. Butler, dean of the School of Fine Arts had printed and had started to circulate.
He said Saturday that only 200 had been sent out because he considers his announcement a little early. Of the fact that the Fine Arts has not been placed in the proposed addition
Dean Butler, in his circular, calls attention to the fact that the School of Fine Arts was to be housed in the addition which was granted it by the legislature. It was sent out mainly to inform prospective students of the training and equipment for the school. The was done also to remove the impression that the school would be in is present quarters for many years.
CHANCELLOR MUST INTERPRET BILL
The appropriation bill was worded in a general way and at present it rests with the Chancellor to interpret whether the $75,000 was given ex-tenancy to school or whether it could be used for any other school in the University.
The heads of the language departments contend that by the plan made in 1909 when the present East wing of the Administration Building was erected, the West wing, when built, was to house their department. They say that under this agreement the smaller appropriation would be for quarters for them in the Administration Building.
LAWS HONOR UNCLE JIMMIE
Annual Banquet to be Given Tomorrow Evening—Many Speakers Here
The K. U. school of law will celebrate "Uncle Jimmie's Day" with a twelfth annual banquet at the Eldridge at eight oclock tomorrow night.
It has been a custom of the laws for several years past to give a banquet in commemoration of the birthday of the Dean of the Law School. It is an event of great significance among the law students as it is in honor of the ammie "jimie", who has been their dean for many years, and among his boys and the University in general as the "Grand Old Man" and well deserves such a name.
The speakers for the banquet will include practicing attorneys, members of the faculty, and students. Those who will speak are; Justice Birch, Cyrus Crane, an attorney of the faculty, S. D. Bishop, a local attorney, Prohibitionist Emble, of the faculty, John Hettinger, member of the seniors, Cecil Embry, for the middle laws. Otto Dittmer will act as toastmaster.

AN IDEA FOR HOME
Many of us are to busy getting a head full of knowledge from the text books and professors' lectures that we miss learning many things that will be a real value to us and perhaps to our state.
In rushing to that "nine-thirty" lecture we are too busy to even notice that the landscape gardeners are digging irregular beds "hit and miss" fashion upon the campus. Perhaps we don't even take the time to wonder or ask why the beds are not made along the walks in nice even rows like they are at the court house back home.
If each student would go back to his home town with a little knowledge gained from observing the plans and methods of the landscape gardener and use his influence by artistically arranged flower beds.
SELECTING OCCUPATIONS
COURT REGULATIONS
"If I can't get a job as teacher, I'll enroll as a Red Cross nurse before I'll stay at home all next year," was the patriotic declaration of a senior girl in Fraser this morning.
COUCH REGULATIONS The tennis season has come again and with it the usual difficulty of obtaining courts.
The trouble lies in the fact that when players once get possession of the courts on Hamilton Field they hold them all afternoon because they realize that if they once give up their places they cannot get on the courts again that day.
What is to be done about the players standing on the sidelines waiting for an opportunity to use the courts?
Municipally owned courts in larger cities are let out to individuals for a limited time provided they have secured a permit from the city hall. The permit specifies the hours, and is good only on the day for which it is issued. At the holder has to do to secure a court is to show his permit signed by the park commissioner. This system prevents anyone from getting a monopoly on the courts.
Such a system might be tried out at the University with the "city hall" located in the office of the athletic director.
At Topeka the rule is enforced that occupants of a court can play only a single set while others are waiting.
GOOD CITIZENSHIP
A commissioner of streets and public utilities will be elected in Lawrence tomorrow.
It is a matter of good citizenship that University students who are registered to vote in Lawrence should take the opportunity to vote. They should investigate the merits of the
candidates. This is a better procedure than "knocking" the municipal government but taking no active interest in municipal affairs.
AMERICA'S DUTY
what is America's plain duty. Militarily, on joining the Allies, we must join them wholeheartedly, completely. Our navy must be their navy, and our vast edifice of cash and credit must double their resources at that point in time, that we must sign their treaties, intrench ourselves within their new tariff walls, further their ambitions, and for a full generation beyond all lives now living, live at enmity with nations of middle Europe. Yet it might well mean that any nation which should subscribe to the covenant of peace and assume the responsibility of emforcing it. To such a treaty, the United States would be important. States might well be a party. By singular paradox, it seems given to us to fight Germany that her people might be saved; to help the Allies, not to Berlin and Vienna, but to peace and security. We Americans shall not forget that a majority of the population is worth more to civilization than a dozen victories on the Somme front. We have not suffered the long agony of Europe; we are spared the fury born of hopelessness of heart. By every consideration of blessed fortune, of creed, of faith, of love, for the future, we must be wise, moderate, never ceasing to seek, at the opportune lead to Peace.-E. S. in April Atlantic.

Livelihood". By Wilfred Wilson Gibbon. Reviewed by Willard Wattles of the English department faculty, "University of Kansas, author of mis-
though dynasties decay. Edna Osborne.
Wordsworth and Masefield meet in Wilfred Wilson Gibson's "Livelihood." All three have known the life of the peasant, the quiet consecration of labor to the job ahead, the innate dignity of the poor. Gibson takes something of the dramatic intensity and drama of the lives that leaves the reader often breathless at the end of his swift accumulation of climatic revelation. The phrases he uses are of the simplest but all is there, perhaps not etched with the starkness of Masters, but certainly both valuable—and realistic without cynicism.
It is interesting to note in "The Plough" the influence of the "spiritual plowman" of Masefold's incomparable "Everlasting Merely." in fact, that "man against the sky" has appeared but lately in the work of Edwin Arlington Robinson, in the way in which a vivid image has more than once swept through literature from some one dynamic source. And the work of Gibson, Harry Kemp, Frost, Edward Piper, or the benefactors elements of the story of Amy Lowell and Edgar Lee Masters, bear somewhat the same relation to Masefold that the egg did to Columbus, or Emerson to Carlyle, not to mention Vachel Lindsay and Yeates, or Byrne and Emily Dickinson.
The poems of perhaps the most enduring value are "Prelude," "The Rocklight," "The News," "Daffodills," "The Lamp," and "Makeshifts." Through all the changes, a drama condensation that lifts them high in comparison with the work of the greatest poets. Let me quote only these lines from the monologue of the crippled mender of crocks who, with all his five bodies, is the thought of the butter "parading in his pompous parlor-march across that field of laughing daffodils";
That starched the mother-wit in

And of the five, it is his boy Jack he bikis of most.

days— ___

We're going to ask the boys (and girls) around the table not to sing "Ypsi" and "She Lives Down in Our Aller" quite so often, and try "America" and "The Star Spangled Banner" occasionally.
We think they'll sound mighty good, and mean a lot more.

Students of the University of Wisconsin are now waging a fight to obtain free speech at the University. The fight comes as a result of the refusal by the University authorities to allow Max Eastman to deliver a lecture to students in one of the University halls. The students are petitioning the use of at least one auditorium for the discussion by anyone of any public question before the student body—Oregon Emerald.

SPRING STYLES CALL FOR FRESHMAN CAPS
Few First Year Men Attempt to Evade Student Council Ruling
COMMITTEE TO ACT TODAY
Disciplinarian Will Debate Ques tion and Make Recommend- dations to Senate
Freshman caps came into style this morning and with them came the upperclassmen wearing paddles, much as the senior laws used to wear canes. The new regulations led to the order of the student council demanding the spring appearance of the postage stamp caps. The resolution before the University Senate asked for the abolishment of paddling as a mode of enjoyment, but this little affect on the upperclassmen this morning and the first year men were unwilling to take a chance. The caps will be in order until the end of the school year unless the action of the law is contrary to Student Council rules.
The fate of paddling will be debated at the meeting of the University Disciplinary committee this afternoon and this recommendation submitted to the Senate at the next meeting. Student sentiment, both of freshmen and upper classman, is overwhelmingly in favor of retaining the distinctive headgear, as was shown conclusively by the results of the vote held under the direction of the Daily Kansan Friday.
A great many of the men who voted in favor of retaining the freshman cap suggested other ways of enforcing the custom, without padding. Other schools, it has been pointed out, have successfully retained similar customs without resorting to force.
Regulations were outlined by about 250 of those who favored the retention of paddling. Restrictions on the size of paddles, were asked by several. Others were for abolishing the gauntlet; some asked only that there be someone with authority on the campus to see that the privilege is not abused.
Senior Supper
BY THE WAY
The senior women will have a supper on the golf links below Potter's Lake Tuesday at five-thirty o'clock. The women's club will be singing and interesting entertainment.

An anemometer is an instrument for measuring the velocity of wind. In 1873 the University purchased an anemometer from Fraser Hall and Fraser Hall. For thirty- six years the faithful instrument has measured the velocity of the winds which inhabit Mt. Oread. A record is kept, and statistics compiled on the figures it registers.
The anemometer was kept busier during March, 1917, than it has been for sixteen years. The record shows that last month was the windiest month since 1901, the total wind mileage was 423 miles, mean a daily average of 442 miles, or 18.5 miles an hour. In March, 1901 the total wind mileage was 15,044.
Of course the students knew March was the windiest month, but it is pleasant to have their opinion confirmed by an instrument that knows
whereof it speaks. The professor knew that not in sixteen years had an elusive theme paper blown quite so far before submitting to capture. And yet it was a little surprising to me how much less attention those words that his opinions were upheld.
With March the windiest month in sixteen years and February the driest, it's always a good idea to have to do something very unusual to keep up the record smashing business.

JAYHAWKERS ARE READY FOR KANSAS NORMALS
Potsy's Freshman Team Give Varsity Squad Heavy Practice Games
The Jayhawker baseball squad will hold three more practices before the opening game with the strong Kansas Normal nine on McCook Field Thursday afternoon. The Kansas Normal nine is reported to be exceptionally strong this year, and the game promises to be exciting from start to finish in a much better team than last year. They tied up with the Tigers for the Missouri Valley Conference championship.
The regular Varsity nine had an eight inning practice game with the freshman nine Saturday afternoon and won by a score of 7 to 6. The freshmen played a good game and had a 6-5 score on the Varsity at the beginning of the last inning, but the varsity won for winning the game. The freshmen won the game from the Varsity Friday afternoon by a score of 6 to 5.
The Varsity team Friday did not include all of the strongest candidates for the team. The nine Saturday afternoon was made up mostly of players who probably will make a place in the national team, said, however, that on the whole the nine played the poorest style of any of the practice games this season.
Potys's freshmen played a first-class game and are getting better with every practice. Twenty freshmen were used in the game Saturday afternoon. The freshmen who started the game were: Bunn, c; Caler, p; Machamer, s; R. Isenberger, 2b; Wilson, ss; N. Isenberger, 3b; Smith, sf; Farrell, s; Theville, s; the freshmen who also played in the game were: Wilson, c; Schoepel, p; Slawson, p; Wesley, c; Gregory, b; Wenzel, s; Lonborn, 3b; Rush, cf; Hamilton, rf; Willhey rf; and Paramore, lf.
The freshman squad received its first cut Friday afternoon, when Potsy reduced the squad to twenty-eight players. These players will compete for places on this year's freshman nine. The players who were retained on this squad by the conch are: Davies, Darius, Schoolhouse, Calder, Custer, Beinner, Bredine, Slawson, Farrel, Gregory, Machamer, N. Isenberger, Wenzel, Bunn, Convis, Oyster, Hamilton, B. C. Smith, Bush, Paramec, Willhemy, Cherry, and Welch.
SPORT BEAMS
"We will now have a bean," is the way Adrian Lindsey announces the arrival of the meal hour. The high cost of living is responsible for the phrase. Just now beans are a popular diet.
McCook Field is a mighty popular place for followers of Jayhawker sports at present. Every afternoon Varsity and freshman baseball practices, outdoor track practice, tennis, and occasionally golf furnish amusement for a large number of spectators.
Seven candidates for the Varsity quintet and two Lawrence high school players who will be eligible for the
freshman five next season reported for the practice Wednesday night. The Varsity candidates were: Rudolf Uhlraub, Ernst Uhrlaub, Scrubby Laslett, Edward Stevenson, Howard Ritchie, Howard Miller, and L. Barter. Andy McDonald and George Hale were for Lawrence high.
Three more days and the Jayhawk baseball nine will open its season against the strong Kansas Normal nine on McCook Field. The squad is holding a practice game every afternoon and should be in excellent condition for the clash. If the players continue to develop their hitting ability as in the last few days, they'll be able to trouble in winning from the Normal nine, although advance dope from the Emporia school indicates the Normals will have a stronger team this year than for several seasons.
While casting his ballot on the paddling question Stanley Nelson, e18, was not content with saying the fresh should take their medicine. he took it upon himself to specify that it should be used. His specifications follow:
"Paddle: 22 inches long by 7-16
thickly thick by 4 inches wide. To
be applied with a force of 20 pounds to
the square inch."
Girls May Sing in Topeka
A trip to Topake is being arranged for the Girls' Glee Club by Gladys Henry, manager of the organization. No definite arrangements have been completed, but if a satisfactory time comes, the club will repeat with the club will repeat there in the near future the concert which it gave here last week.
A new back stop for batting practice has just been completed on McCook Field. The baseball men will now get some good hitting practice.
OFFICIAL CALL FOR TENNIS
Captain Cowgill Will Meet Candidates for Team Tomorrow Afternoon
row Afternoon
The official tennis call was issued today by Captain Allie Cowgill. Cowgill will be in the trophy room at Robinson Gymnasium from 1:30 to 2:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon to meet candidates for the tennis teams. Nouncements as to tryouts will be made at this time.
The first meet for the Jayhawker tennis team will be with Oklahoma University, probably April 27. During the season, exhibition matches will be played with several athletic club teams from Kansas City. The Missouri Valley Conference meeting will be held at the University of Ames and Captain Cowill expects the Jayhawkers to take the championship again.
eligibility requirements for the teams team are the same as for other athletic teams.
The BEST teaching positions will be filled soon. Write to the Department of Education, Western Reference and Bond Association, 681 Scarritt Building, Kansas City, Missouri, who have placed more than thirteen men and women in good positions. No enrollment fee necessary. -Adv.

"The track team is badly in need of men to take the place of those who graduate this year," said Coach W. O. Hamilton last night, "and I want every man who has ever done any track work, either in high school or college, to come out to McCook for practice."
"We lose Captain Rodkey, Sproull,
Stateleter, Howland, Davidson, Groene,
Small, and Grutzmacher by graduation,
"he continued, "and those are
completing for firsts in eight of the fifteen outdoor track events this season.
"The only thing that can keep Kansas on the map in track when these men graduate," continued Coach Hamilton, "is the spirit of the men now in school who are capable of doing track work. It takes practice to reach the efficiency these men have in training and practice necessary cannot be obtained if they or six weeks preceding the track season next year."
A few new men are working at McCook each afternoon, but many more are needed. The coaches are required to come in order to be in shape for the interclass meet which will be held the latter part of April. This meet gives the coaches an idea of what they may depend on for material next year.

KANSAS MEN SUBJECT TO MILITARY TRAINING
Passage of Chamberlain Bill Means That K. U. Would be Virtual War Camp
CONSCRIPTION FAVORED
Local Professor Believes Burden of Impending Struggle Should be Borne by All
The universal military plan as suggested by President Wilson in his speech to Congress last night and as outlined in the Chamberlain bill, if it be a law, will affect practically 75 per cent of the men in the University.
CALL MEN OF TWENTY
The message of the President urged universal liability to service which is commonly known as the universal service plan.
CARRIER MONTHS OF TWENTY
This measure as explained by Senator Bacon, author of the bill provides that, "In cases where age is 29 years of age will be trained and if the president finds that the national defense so requires he may, by proclamation, call out for training those between the ares of 21, 22 and 23.
It may also require these men to register and be examined. Men who have been or are in training constitute the national army which is a subject to call to service in case of war or imminent danger thereof."

Senator Chamberlain estimates the number of men which would be raised by this method to be between $1\frac{1}{2}$ million to 2 million.
"I think that conscription should be resorted to right at the start," said Prof. B. F. Moore this morning. This does not mean that every man should be conscripted but that the education and the ability of every man should be used. This would do away with the volunteer service where only men who really feel duty bound are forced to enlist. A colleague or servile other men not so patriotic stay home. Conscription would do away with this."
THE CALL OF THE PRIMITIVE
Three Bold Bad Buccaneers Brave Buffeting Breakers of Broad Kaw in Bobbing Barkentine
Here beginneth a tale of adventure of dangers braved and hardships enured. Friday afternoon Henry Pegues, Bill Stewart and John Trout explore the depths of the monotony of living, hit upon the idea of canoeing to Kansas City.
They started Friday evening with high spirits and steadfast hearts but before they had traversed many miles their gallant bark was upon the shoals of a Kaw river sand bar. They spent the rest of the night in a barn. Not to be undone by such a trifling humour, their journals were Saturday morning arriving at Armenia 6:30 the same evening. Thus ended the journey—all但 but the stiffness from which the explorers are slowly recovering this week.

The University Daily Kansan:
The City of Lawrence will hold its patriotic day on Thursday, April 5. It seems highly desirable that the University join the city in this celebration and take one of a separate committee in charge had to make its plans last Friday evening and an immediate decision on my part was necessary. I trust that the whole University may approve of our joining with the city and cooperate with our universities. The celebration will take place on Thursday afternoon. Classes will be held as usual in the morning, but must necessarily be dismissed in the afternoon. I urge all students and faculty members to remain Lawrence during Thursday afternoon parade, which is to be as representative of the City of Lawrence and its institutions as possible. A place will be provided for students and faculty in the parade. I sincerely hope now that our President has found such eloquent and forceful teachers in that we shall not be behindhand in our demonstrations of loyalty to him and our country.

FRATTS MAY INITIATE MEN
WHO ENTER THE SERVICE
Fraternity pledges whose grades are satisfactory at the time may be initiated before leaving for military service in case of war. A motion to this effect was passed by the Pan-Hellenic Council Sunday.
The new inter-fraternity by-laws were adopted in which the pledge must have passed in twelve hours work in one semester before he can be initiated. The former ruling was that he must pass in two-thirds of his work

ROBINSON MEMORIAL NOW BEING DESIGNED
Bronze Tablet to Faithful Latin Teacher to be Set Up at Commencement
A bronze tablet, now being designed by Chester Beach, a New York artist, will be created in Room 210 Braser Hall, as a memorial to Prof. David A. Smith, a painter in the University from the time it was founded until his death in 1855.
The members of the class of '80 started the movement at their thirty reunion last year. The matter was taken up by a committee this fall. The executive committee consists of H. E. Riggs, '86, J. W. Gleed, '79, Hannah Oliver '74, Scott Hopkins is treasurer of the fund and Stuart Henry '81 is chairman of the art committee.
The tablet will be placed in the room, used by Professor Robinson the last twenty years of his teaching. It will be displayed Tuesday before commencement. Arrangements for speakers and exact time have not been completed.
WOMEN RESPOND TO CALL
More Than 130 Have Entered Red Cross Training Class—Will Study First Aid
Study First Aid
The first step taken by University women towards an active part in the war will be the meeting of the Red Army under the supervision of Dr. Dopphly.
The quickened interest in the work among the University women has brought the number of signifiers to 130, and it is expected more than two hundred women will attend the first meeting of the class, according to Miss Bertha V. Mix, secretary to Doctor Child.
Part of the time will be spent this evening in organizing the class. Doctor Child will lecture on "General Directions for Giving First Aid." A small fee is charged for admission into the class. Meetings will be every Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock for the present, although it is probable a division will be necessary later on when more women enroll.
C. U. HAS DISTANT STUDENTS
Majority Come From Other Kansa Colleges, But State Universities Contribute Many Undergrads
Two hundred and seventy-eight students have entered the University of Kansas from other universities this year. Between four and five hundred have come from smaller colleges in the state, but K. U. has also attracted from all parts of the country and from Japan, the Philippines, and Hawaii.
Students have entered Kansas this year from Harvard, the universities of North Carolina, Texas, Oregon, and Wisconsin. A number of students who have come from the universities of adjoining states.

FACULTY FAVORS FULL CREDIT FOR ENLISTERS
Credit for the full semester's work will probably be given by the University Senate at a meeting today to all students who enlist in the United States Army. The school of Engineering has granted full credit to students enrolled in the school.
Senate Will Probably Adopt Plan Outlined at Time of Mexican Trouble
Olin Templin, dean of the College, said this morning that some provision would probably be made whereby enlisted students would be given full time education and a similar plan was decided upon last, spring at the time of the Mexican trouble.
By the decision of the School of Engineering faculty all men in Company M, the University company, or any University engineering student enlisted in any branch of the United States service will be given credit, if they are passing at the time they are called into service. Practically all branches of the national guard were sworn in as part of the regular army at the time of the Mexican trouble last summer.
This would mean that a senior would graduate next week if he were called into service by the government, providing he were passing at the time he was forced to leave school and took employment. E. Jones, of Company M, believes there will be 'a heavy enlistment from the School of Engineering.
Uncle Jimmy Green, dean of the School of Law, said this morning that by informal action of the faculty, all seniors who are enlisted will be given their degrees even if they are forced to leave the Board of Administration also enforced of this action. Whether or not full credit will be given to enlisted men, other than seniors, will be decided at the next faculty meeting. Uncle Jimmy said he was in favor of granting an award as an inducement to volunteer but because the students should have the credit and they should go when the call comes.
The deans of other schools appear to be in favor of granting full credit to students who would insist. The deans will probably mean that many women enlisting as Red Cross nurses will also be given credit.
ATTEND CHICAGO CONFERENCE
L. N. Flint and W. B. Brown Leave for Meeting of Association of
American Journalism Schools
The Association of American Schools of Journalism has a membership of the ten leading journalism schools of the country. They are the universities of Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin, Ohio, Missouri, Indiana, Columbia, and Kansas. The conference will be held April 5-7 and will take up the standardization of college departments of journalism. A number of prominent newspaper men of Chicago and elsewhere will address the conference.
The college authorities have given the students a vacation from Thursday noon until Tuesday morning, but some of the professors are seemingly disregarding it by already assigning quizzes for the 8:30 classes Tuesday morning thus taking away all the pleasure of what might be an enjoyable vacation. Have a heart, Mr. Faculty Man!

The Laws have become the most patriotic students on the Hill. Each wear a small flag this morning. They have to wear 'em to avoid war!
LAWS GET PATRIOTISM FOR FIFTEEN CENTS Tiny Flags Sold by Topckans.
The students in the College and the Engineers could do nothing but produce the money when the young ladies pinned the flags on their coats. The Laws demonstrated and wanted to argue about the inalienable rights of man and the principle laid down by the Supreme Court in the case of Verus Wiggs, but they were unable to sail away with such a line. The ladies sailing with flags refused to listen to them and asked "Oh, be a snort and a blower."
Miss Reita Udpergraff and Mrs. Hal Hazelett of Topeka were on the campus yesterday selling flags at fifteen cents per, for the benefit of the Chancel Chapter of the Grace Cathedral, Topeka.
"Oh, be a sport and buy a flag."
COUNCIL URGES SENATE TO ENDORSE PADDLING
The Disciplinary Committee will make its final recommendation to the University Senate on the paddling question this afternoon. The Senate will then vote on whether to recommendations of the Disciplinary Committee at the meeting today.
Sentiment of Students Presented in Resolution Offered Faculty Today
The Men's Student Council this morning offered the following resolution to the Senate in favor of retaining the paddling custom:
Whereas: The Men's Student Council is elected to voice student opinion, and
Whereas, the question of the abolition of paddling, as the means of enforcing the tradition of wearing freshman caps, has been brought before the University Senate, and
Whereas, a bona fide referendum vote by the students held on March 30 by the Daily Kansan, which election was held in a proper and careful manner resulted in a vote of 84 per cent in favor of a retention of padding as a means of enforcing this tradition, and
Whereas, paddling is conducted in such a manner that no injury has ever resulted, and
Whereas, there is little or no objection to this method of enforcing the tradition, and
Whereas, we believe it to be for the best interests of the student body to retain this custom.
Therefore be it resolved that the Men's Student Council, by a unanimous vote, express itself in favor of the retention of paddling as a means of enforcing the freshman cap tradition.

And that's what I wrote,
written. It was this way. A freshman rhetoric class was droning along in the usual modus operandi when—a bolt from a clear sky—the ringing bell should write a theme on Mrs. Eustace Brown's (now famous) spring drive.
"How would you start?" asked the master of ceremonies. (You understand that all freshman themes must have a start as well as a stop).
Silence. Grawing of nails, Sermening of scalps. Fidgeting of feet. And the iPhone itself ventured naively: "Why, I beeply start as soon as I saw her coming!"

Bathing suits are all right in their place. And speaking of places for bathing such as how about the Adirondack suit, or the Whistle-bathing suit, unprotected and negligible?
Now, just a moment. Please wait to read the end. It seems that there is a young lady in the University name Marie. That's interesting, now it is. Well, she is a swimmusee. That is she does idioses in the water.
Marie came into class with her—well now we—might as well say right out—she had her bathing suit under her arm—without any covering whatsoever. A naked bathing suit—and most of the class snuckered!
And then some mean, loathsome man swiped the suit during the hour and hid it. When she discovered the Marie stood right up and called out; "Can anybody see my bathing suit?" Right out load too! Yes, she got it.

"TUB" FOOLS THE BROTHERS
A drinking bout in Kansas since the bone dry law went into effect is decidedly a rare occurrence.

It all began at Brick's Sunday afternoon when "Tub" Hobart ventured to assert that he could mix six auxiliary milk in fourteen minutes. "Small Milk Connell Fenton Baker were willing to risk real money that he couldn't; and furthermore, they agreed to pay for the drinks if "Tub" succeeded in delivering water that portion of his raiment which the latest report) his Sirigma Chi pin
Chet Patterson held stakes, and Frat Chratter hered in a crowd to see the proceedings. The malted milks were wrapped and the keepers got their stop watches ready. Then "Tub", after letting out his belt some six notices—a notch for twelve-ounce glass of milk—to let the stuff downose down his throat.
Three minutes sufficed to empty three glasses. After a rest$^a$ of four minutes, the latter disappeared. At the end of ten minutes, the fifth was out of the road.
The crowd cheered and "Tub" gasped for air, while Baker and other they'd made a mistake after all. Eleven twelve-thirteen minutes later, and still "Tub" gazed fascinated at the single glassful before him.
"It doesn't taste much like malted milk," he volunteered.
"One minute left," said time-keeper Patterson.
"Tub" lifted the glass, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and gulped it down—half a glass—three quarters—the whole thing!
Patterson handed over the money. And now it is humored that Cowgill and Beker won't be able to have a date for three weeks.
"Wish wed' charged the spectators admission," sighs "Snake".

RECRUITING FOR CO. M TO START TOMORROW
Captain Jones Received Orders This Morning to Enlist to Full War Strength
LOOKS FOR NO TROUBLE
News From Washington Accepted Here With Thoughtful Consideration.
Recruiting for Company M of the Kansas National Guards will begin tomorrow morning in Robinson Gymnastium.
NO DIFFICULTY LOOKED FOR
Capt. F. E. Jones received orders this morning from the Headquarters of the Kansas National Guard to detail one non-compromised officer and two privates for recruiting duty. Active service pay will be allowed enlisted men for this detail, and the enlisted men so detailed will remain on further orders or until such time as the organization is recruited to the enlisted strength of 100 men. The men detailed for the team by Captain Jones are Corporal Grimstead, George Montgomery and Roy R. Robbins. The trophy room in the gymnasium will be the recruiting office.
Captain Jones anticipates no difficulty in recruiting the company up to war strength in case it is called into service. The advantage of joining the National Guard, he pointed out, over the volunteer forces are that the National Guard is now well equipped and fully officered. Each officer with Company M knows the officers who will command him and the men with whom he will serve. The men now in the National Guard will stand a better chance of getting a commission than the men in the volunteer forces.
Company M has been reduced by transfers to other organizations, promotions, and removals from the state office. A room in the company for fifty-nine people.
Parts of the National Guard in Colorado, Missouri, and Nebraska have been called for service on the ground to protect Kansas guard has not been called out. The Missouri units have moved under sealed orders and their destination is unknown
THE NEWS RECEIVED HERE
The news that President Wilson last night before a joint session of Congress urged this country to declare a state of war exist between the United States and Germany was that the University with thoughtful opinion. Every scrap of war news was eager, and nothing but confidence was expressed over the campus for the present administration.
The University will join with the city of Lawrence in a big patriotic gathering Thursday afternoon and night. The ceremonies in the afternoon will start with a big parade and Chancellor Strong urges every student to be present. In the process the University bant and students and Companies M. H. K take part. Doctor Strong will be on the team in the afternoon. All classes will be dismissed Thursday afternoon for the purpose of joining in the parade.
"Every student should stand by the University and show his patriotism by joining in the exercises," said Captain Jones this morning.

A PROBLEM FOR K. U. MEN
Captain Jones of Company M, the University organization in the Kansas National Guard, is confident that this company will be called into active service this week. At present, Captain Jones has fifty men enlisted. One hundred more will be needed.
Captain Jones wants the additional hundred enlistments to come from the University student body.
Every man should consider his country's need in a serious manner. A quick response to the appeal to fill up the ranks of Company M would be worthy of the patriotic ideals of the University.
A caustic criticism of the work of Billy Sunday is quoted from The New Republic in the Kansan today. There was some criticism of a like nature in the University a year ago at the time Sunday spoke in Robinson gymnasium. But if the baseball evangelist can help New York, much must be retracted. The New York meetings which Sunday is starting are a test for his power.
WORDS ON PRESS AGENTING
The Kansan is expecting a number of faculty members to utilize some spare time during Easter vacation to write "College Spirit" essays to be entered in the Kansan contest. The contest closes April 10.
By JEROME BEATTY
Jerome Beatty, a University graduate, and a notable success in the New York newspaper business, is now press agent for the McClure Moving Picture Syndicate. At the request of L. N. Flint, he has written at length to University journalism students, his subject being "Words on Press Agenting." Portions of his article, are reprinted in The Kaans because of the general interest.
I roll up my sleeves. I shall not deceive you. This article in no way is about "How To Be A Press Agent." It is a lot of descriptive dub-dub that cannot instruct the reader of the School of Journalism who thinks he would like to try to put pictures of actresses in the papers.
***
I have been a press agent for a governor of a New England state who had a worthy and successful desire to lick a railroad; I have guided the publicity destinies of a woman vegetarian who walked from New York to Chicago in a noble effort to show the world that better health would come if less meat were eaten. Actresses for the crass purpose of making money for my employers and for the actresses.
With sadness, as a newspaper mini with high ideals as to the functions of the press, I state that there is more interest in the fact that Nance O'Neil has a cat named "Bill" that plays the first bar of "Home Sweat
Home" whenever he walks up the keys on a piano and the first bar of "Nearer, My God, to Thee" whenever he walks down the keys (remember how the tunes start?) than there is in the fact that a state is being robbed or that the health of the nation is being rapidly undermined.
The only way to become a press agent is first to become a newspaper editor, who has experience and the more city editors who give you assignments, the better for you.
It seems to me that there is not nish about the newspaper business that a press agent need not know. It must have an great command over it, and you can pass as the ability to twist a dull phrase into something interesting.
Take the average week of a motion picture press agent.
Every Monday he must prepare copy for his ads in the trade papers. To put these ads together he must know engraving, type, black and white effects, the wonderful resources of Ben Day, electrotyping, art work drawing. And he must know costs, for he is buying, always buying.
On Tuesday he sends out news stories and photographs to the trade papers. He must know what these stories want and, realizing that these stories are to be read by the managers of motion picture theaters, throughout his stories he must try to slip in selling points.
On Wednesday, perhaps, he gets out a press sheet that goes to 1,500 newspapers. Each press sheet carries a picture. To some mats, he photographs, to some mats. Others get only the clip sheet. He must know the cost of composition, how to make up his cuts so as to get the best results with bad press-work, bad ink, and bad paper, so often used in print jobs. His mats must be fool-proof. He must know a good mat when he sees it.
On Thursday, perhaps, he goes out to the studio and gossips with the stars and directors to pick up news and feature stories from the movie industry and the minor actors. The star's name sells the picture. The only publicity the $50 and $100 a week people get is a story now and then sent to their home town papers or they are making good and will be seen there soon in "The Dook's Revenge."
On Friday he writes a story or two for a motion picture magazine about his stars or his pictures, striving always to mention his company as often as he thinks the editor will permit. These stories are always exclusive and so perhaps not so graphic. Often a bunch of editor orders a story or a bunch of special photographs. He pays for these. The others he gets for nothing.
On Saturday, perhaps, he writes a lot of bunk about press agenting for the benefit of the students in the department of politicalism in the University of Kansas.
Sparkled throughout the week are frequent visits to editors, who must be kept conscious of the press agent's existence; overseeing appointments for special stories or photographs. Appointments must be made with stars for photographs and interviews. Clippings must be gone over and checked, for the press agent's review. The editor must hold. If he is having no luck in a certain locality he must find out the trouble. He must write personal letters to the editors in that vicinity and learn why they are using the company's publicity, and not his.
The public is interested in the moving picture stars and there is much in motion picture publicity that is legitimate reading matter. There are five monthly magazines devoted to motion pictures and those of these have more than 200,000. Most of the big newspapers run motion picture departments, not to fill space, but because they find these departments sell papers.
The papers that reach you in Lawrence, for the most part, are bad fields for sowing the seed of motion picture publicity. They don't go in much for motion picture news—yet. They will come to it some day, and they will learn that motion picture news has just as strong a following as sporting news.

OBJECTS TO SUNDAY
Billy Sunday's spiritual offensiveness is bad enough, but the ugliest part of it is the elaborate machinery by which he is foisted on a great community that has no real heart or stomach for him. The preparations for his descent on New York have been made to the community that had presented to his coming are laying themselves out in every possible way to divert their congregations to his tabernacle, and every known device will be employed to cook up interest in him and drum up audiences. The most irrational and ridiculous aspect of the revival is the connection it promises to have with recruiting, training, and mentoring, feeling that is stirring in New York next month and to turn his hand-springs and deliver his verbal spitballs for country as well as for God. Whatever its b-y-products, this is a sort of barbarian which most newspaper editors despise, and it would be wholesome wholesome for eleven years, by the Billy Sunday band-wagon if the New York papers prove to them that the way to reinstate Jesus is not by vulgarizing him.-The New Republic.

SOCIOLOGISTS HELP IN
OCCILOGISTS HELP IN
CITY SOCIAL SURVEYS
"The University of Kansas is a pioneer in taking a certain kind of social survey," said M. C. Elmer, a professor of sociology in the University of Kansas, who values of social surveys. The new plan worked out by the University is to organize every group in the town, arouse the interest of the entire community by having the citizens do the work, under the direction of experts.
This plan was recently used at Council Grove, where Professor Elmer supervised a complete survey. The data gathered was used for a comparison of the two neighborhoods named the survey the biggest thing that ever happened to Council Grove.
Professor Elmer classified surveys into three types: the survey that is merely an inventory, the survey that is a community, and the survey made by experts that is a comprehensive study of the conditions in a community. According to Professor Elmer, the experimental study they do the work of the survey.
The town is left as it was before, without intimate knowledge of itself and the inspiration it receives when the citizens do the work, as in the plan used by the University. The surveys discover the social problems of the community, learn its normal functioning, both and outline a constructive plan for community development covering a number of years.
The University is equipped to help communities make social surveys, and Clay Center, Concordia, Minneapolis, and Beloit have asked for help in making such surveys. They will be made later in the year.

VARSITY DEFEATS FROSH IN ONESIDED CONTEST
Regulars Have No Trouble Win ning From Freshmen,
8 to 0
In a five inning game yesterday afternoon on McCook Field, the Varsity regulars smothered the strong freshman nine by a score of 8 to 0.
The Varsity nine, composed of McFarland and Carter c, Poier r, Paseh l, Lindsey 2b, Gibbs 3b, McIlennsy h, Captain Smee lf, Bocook cf, and Taylor rf, represents the strongest candidates for the Jayhawker nine player. The player with Red Cagle at the pitching position, will probably start the game against the Kansas Normals Thursday afternoon.
The team is rounding into form and with a little more practice should be one of the most feared teams in the league. There is a competition for positions on the team, and there is a possibility that there may be a couple of changes in the above lineup before the season is over. Pratt is a strong candidate for the starting position and Krumbach is working hard for one of the field positions.
All the players have exceptionally good batting ability. After two more practices this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon, the nine should be in excellent condition to meet the Teachers.

The Varsity baseball nine showed a decided improvement over their playing in the practice games Friday and Saturday, and beat the freshmen by an 8 to 0 score yesterday afternoon. Poirier, the speedy little twirler, succeeded in fanning eleven freshmen in the five innings.
Harry Fisk, from last year's football squad, came out for the Varsity practice yesterday afternoon. He is going out for one of the field positions, and he was called home for ten days because of the sickness of his sister.
The bleachers is the place for all spectators who come out to see the Varsity-freshman practice games, according to Manager Hamilton, who spoke with the staff trying to keep the spectators off the track so the track men could practice.

NUMBER 128.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 4, 1917.
Recommendation of Disciplinary Committee Passed by University Governing Body
PASS ELIGIBILITY RULE
All Student Organizations Are Placed on Same Basis—Band is Exempt
"As a result of investigation by the committee on discipline the following recommendations are made to the University Senate and further it is recommended that the University Senate enact these following rules:
"All hazing, including paddling and all other methods of enforcing student regulations by physical violence is forbidden."
This report was read in the University Senate meeting yesterday afternoon and passed with only one dissenting vote. The adoption of the anti-paddling rule, however, does not mean that the Freshman Cap custom shall be discontinued. The Senate meets again tonight to consider the proposed for violations of the rule. It is left to the Senate to decide what shall be done to enforce the wearing of the caps. But this must be passed on by the Senate.
PASS ELIGIBILITY RULE
GIVENITY RULE
Another rule for all organizations is the students of the University was the placing of all student organizations on the same basis in regard to eligibility rules. The eligibility of all organizations was placed on the same basis as rules adopted by the Missouri Valley University of Athletics. The band is exempted.
The Division of Vocations, a new department as outlined originally by Dean Templin, was established. The Director of Vocations shall be assist- ment committee, in their duty to "conduct education into existing vacation demands and opportunities; collect and make available information for use of the University; its students and graduates; give advice to students in selecting equivale- nates in efforts to secure positions best suited to their personal attitudes."
GIRLS MUST PLAY AT HOME A committee reported to the Senate girls basketball teams be permitted indirect chaperones and regulation games to play games in other towns. The Senate rejected this report. This means that girl's teams will not be allowed to go out of town, to participate in excess games and games with out of two teams may be played in the University gymnasium.

WILSON HASTENS END OF WAR SAYS TEMPLIN
Dean of College Likens the President's Address to the Orations of Cicero
"President Wilson's message has won the war," said Olin Templain, dean of the College, in discussing with a colleague from the University that the President's message to Congress.
"In all probabilities, the message will be suppressed in Germany, but not, I hope, before copies of it have fallen into the hands of every family in Germany. Then we will have the decisive and great battle of the war, fought in the streets of Berlin between the common people and the impoverished, the poor over and the German people will come into their own—and their victory will have been hastened by President Wilson's message to Congress."
Dean Templin has been quoted as a pacifist on numerous occasions in university circles, and he never has spoken out against militaryism or marked stand against militarism and its attendant evils. He is of German descent and holds keen sympathies for the German people, but he has no patience with the German govern-
"For ages the students of foreign lands will read this address of President Wilson just as today they read the orations of Cicero. The President has given us a masterpiece which, regardless of its bearing on the present crisis, will receive a permanent place in literature."
Dean Templin went to Germany as a student in the last part of the reign of Wilhelm I. He saw the 100-day reign of the emperor I. He was one of the present kaiser and heard Bismarck's last speech in the Reichstag.
"I if I were of military age I would enlist before night," said Dean Templin. However, I do not believe an American army will be needed in Europe.

K.U. RESPONDS TO THE PLANS ARE COMPLETE CALL OF COMPANY M FOR PATRIOTIC DISPLAY
Three Men Enlisted at Weekly Drill in the Gymnasium Last Night
TOTAL STRENGTH NOW 44
Recruiting Will Continue Until Company Has Strength of 100
The University made a quick response to the call of Company M of the Kansas National Guards for more men. Three men enlisted in the company at the armory in Robinson Gymnasium last night. Many more enlistments are looked for today. Four uniformed men, Corporal James Grinville, Corporant Charles Hart, private George Moore, and vice Roy Robbins, are on duty as recruiting agents in the trophy room of Robinson Gymnasium.
The first three men enlisted were: Guy Runyan, c'20, of Wichita; W. S. Riley, e'19, of Garnett; and Harold Jones, e'19, of Kansas City, Mo. This brings the company's strength up to forty-four enlisted men. Recruiting will continue until the company has a strength of one hundred.
The advantage of the guard unit over the volunteer force is that the guard already is organized, offered and equipped. It has a backbone of well trained non-commissioned officers who are seen service on the Mexican border, knows his officers and the men with whom he is to serve. Company M enjoys a particular advantage because every officer and enlisted man is a man and all the officers, both company and regimental, have seen service.

The Kansan is printing "America" and "The Star Spangled Banner" with the suggestion that the copies be cipped out and carried by University students to the patriotic meeting at South Park tomorrow afternoon, and to the concert of the Zoellner String Quartet tomorrow night. At both these places, the national songs will be sung.
THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER
Oh! say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whobs broad stripes and bright stars thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, we were so gallantly streaming.
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
Oh! I say does the star spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen thro' the mist of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty虫 in dread silence reposes,
What is that breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it tifftally blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam. In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream.
Oh! thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation,
Blest with victry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserved us a nation
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto, "In God is our trust."
'Tis the star spangled banner, oh, long may it wave
'O her the land of the free and the home of the brave!
AMERICA
And the star spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of the I sing I:
Land of the pilgrim's others died,
Land of the pilgrim's pride,
From ev'ry mountain side
Let freedom ring.
My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
They name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills
They treasure plains hills;
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.
Plain Tales from the Hill
Our fathers' God, to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing;
Love us he be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God, our King.

IN MEMORIAM
My roommate's bar of soap is gone! A better bar I've selld on seen; It was perfumed and darkish green, And it had lasted fairly long.
O bar of soap! it gives me sorrow
To think how hard I used you then:
How lavish I had always been
You from off his shelf I'd borrow!
But hush! I must not mourn for thee I'll live anew, for hope goes far; Less yearning for the worn out bar "bam some new soap which is to be!"
WEEKLY PRIMER LESSON
WEEKLY PRIMER LESSON
In this a librarian? No, no, it appears to be at first glance, but in reality it is a one detective. What is a detective? One detectives to shadow suspected criminals. A detective controls the lawless element while the librarian is supposed to control the library. Now, do you see the difference? Take Spooner Library for example. Here we have much of the world's knowledge, and it probably will always be stored here. Try to check out a book. You can't; it is one many on the reserve shelf. Seat a driver and prepare to wade through a dirty water in the soothing atmosphere of 90 degrees. You are interrupted. Is it an automobiles cending Mt. Cread? No, little boy, it is merely a librarian quarrelling with one of the students. Did the librarian call him a liar? No, surely you are mistaken.
150 WOMEN ENROLL IN RED CROSS CLASSES
First Meeting Held Last Night Under Direction of Dr. Dorothy Child
The women of the University of Kansas are preparing to do their bit in the war in which, it now seems claim, the United States is to engage women, the fifty women are enrolled for Red Cross training in the classes which have been organized here by Dr. Dorothy Child. More are signing up for the course every day. At the first meeting, held last night, Dr. Child opened the instruction with a lecture on "General Directions for Giving First Aid."
Three courses are being offered to those who enroll. A course in First Aid will be given in ten lessons, Elec courses in Engine and Care of the Sick will be given in ten lessons, while for those who cannot take one of these courses, opportunity is given for instruction in preparation of surgical supplies as volunteer work. The course covers the cost of enrollment and supplies used in the instruction.
There is a prevalent impression that in war time, any woman may offer her services as a nurse, and immediately enter into the work in the military hospitals. But even in the nurses are badly needed, only those who are accepted have had proper training to fit them for the work.
The training course is intended to give the women of the University the experience and knowledge which enable them to volunteer as nurses to the health Enrollment in this class carries with it no obligation to serve.

Resolution Abolishing Exercises to be Introduced in Senate Tonight
TEMPLIN ASKS ECONOMY
Chancellor Wants Entire University to Co-operate to Aid Government
April 4, 1917.
To the University of Kansas:
Now that the decision has been made in regard to war the University is considering steps in its various departments to become as helpful to the government as possible. I, therefore, recommend that all departments and especially those of scientific nature immediately favor as to the kind of work that they might best do and for which they are likely to be called upon.
I, therefore, ask as Chancellor of the University, that a formal report be made to me at as early a day as possible. Yours sincerely,
FRANK STRONG,
Chancellor.
A resolution abolishing all graduation exercises and all other affairs of graduation week will be introduced in the University Senate meeting tonight, because of the seriousness of the situation. It also seems likely that another resolution will be presented which will do away with the May Fete.
Each graduate is required to pay five dollars for graduation expenses. There are more than 400 graduates this year and if all of this money could be used for the local hospital fund it would do more good at the "front" than for graduation affairs, according to the opinion of sev- cular occupies men who realize the grav- yity of the situation. Permission would have to be obtained from the state auditor. In a like manner, money which is yearly spent on the May Fete would be used for the hospital work.
The other incidental fees including the cap and gown fee of $2.50 could be used also by the seniors for the nation if the graduation was abolished. Their plans probably will be introduced the tivity funds for the country's cause.
"Of the many things learned from the European conflict none is more important," said Dean Tempel, "than the fact that modern warfare involves every citizen, regardless of sex or age. Every one can 'do his bit' at home or at the front. Ultimate success will be determined by economic factor as well as military, and every person who eats or wears clothing, works or plays, participates indirectly in the struggle. He who increases the food supply, by production or economy, is a benefactor."
Dear Olin Templin said this morning the whole nation should conserve the food and clothing supply in the United States.
"Waste in any form may be had only at the expense of the country's cause. Everybody with patriotic feeling, which includes University students, will therefore economize in a reasonable way, and spend much time reasonable, which can be producing anything which will be useful for himself or some one else. We all be glad to have learned the lesson of Europe and should all be willing to do what is in our power to assist in this appalling conflict."
BASKETBALL K'S ANNOUNCED
Nelson, Uhrlaub, Gibbens, Lytle, and Laslett Given Letters—K's to Three Members of Gym Team
Only five "Ks" were awarded to the Jayhawker basketball players for the season just completed, Manager W. O. Hamilton announced this morning. The members of the squad to receive the letters are: Captain, Lawrence Leon, Rudolf Uhrlaub, Ruben Gibbs, Harold Lyle and Scrub Laslett.
No reserve letters were announced. The unusually small number to receive letters in basketball this year came as a surprise to followers of the game.
Three letters were allowed by the Athletic Board for the showing of members of the gymnasium gym who competed in the Triangular Gym in Kansas Normals and the Kansas Aggies, and nard Jensen and George Malmkwere awarded "K's" for their work in this meet.

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
"Our object now, as then, is to vindicate the principles of peace and the justice in the life of the world as against selfish and autocratic power and to set up amongst the really free and self governed people of the world such a concert of purpose and of action as will henceforth insure the observance of these principles.
Neutrality is no longer feasible or desirable where the peace of the world is involved and the freedom of its peoples, and the menace to that peace and freedom lies in the existence of autocratic governments backed by organized force which is controlled wholly by their will, not by the will of their people.
"We are accepting this challenge of hostile purpose because we know that in such a government, following such methods, we can never have a friend; and that in the presence of its organized power, always lying in wait to accomplish we know not what purpose, there can be no assured security for the democratic governments of the world."
The above paragraphs from the president's message are epoch making. In 1777 a declaration of independence was made for a little narrow strip of country. This was the prologue. The declaration made last night may be the epilogue of the one made almost one and one-half centuries ago, for it is a declaration of world independence for peace and freedom from an autocratic government.
It would be about as easy to force the freshmen to wear their caps without the use of a paddle as it is for a nation to force another nation to follow international customs without the use of an army or navy.
LOYALTY DAY
Thursday is loyalty day. Much of the success of the day in Lawrence depends upon the interest shown by the University students. Were you planning upon having your bag packed and ready to leave town at the sound of the 12:20 whistle Thursday noon?
If so, send a card to the folks at home that you can't leave Thursday noon for you are going to help show the nation that the University along with Lawrence and Kansas is thoroughly patriotic. You might add that you'll leave in time to help Home Town show its loyalty for it will be expecting something of you too. Don't disappoint 'em.
Be loyal to your country, your University and to the chancellor by
remaining in Lawrence Thursday afternoon to show your patriotism.
On the day of enrollment one hears students suggest various means by which the process of enrollment might be improved. The committee on enrollment has invited students or organizations to send in suggestions for improvements. Here is an opportunity for some bright person or persons to make enrollment day easier for faculty and students next September.
"Is that somebody you?"
It has been demonstrated that students while at home during vacation are willing and unfiring workers for the good of K. U. Perhaps only a few words to those with whom we meet during the Easter holidays about the School of Fine Arts will help "remove the impression that the School will be in its present quarters for many years."
UNIVERSAL LIBERTY
From President Wilson's war message:
"It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful country into war, into the most terrible and disastrous of all wars, civilization itself seem to be in the balance; but the right is more precious than the wrong. The things which we have always carried nearest our hearts for democracy, for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own governments, for the rights and liberties of small nations, for a universal dominion of right by force, for the power shall bring peace and safety to all nations and make the world itself at last free. To such a task we can dedicate our lives and our fortunes, everything that we are and everything that we have, with the pride of those who know America and with the freedom America has been privileged to spend her blood and her might for the principles that gave her birth and happiness and the peace which she has treasured."

THE OLD. OLD STORY
Not long ago a young man ordered a suit of clothes from a mail order house. In one of the pockets he found a note from some fair maid who frankly asked whoever bought the suit to write to her. The young man, being single, wrote the maid a rather affectionate letter. A few days ago he received an answer, short and to the point.
"Don't write any more letters to me. I have been married ten years if my husband finds out that you are writing to me there will be trouble. And now, dear son, for if your age is 22, I want to tell you that I am old enough to be your mother. I put that note in your pocket when I was young and frivolous, more than fifteen years ago." -Spring Hill New Era.

POET'S CORNER
WHEN WAR COMES What nationality are you?
What nationality are you?
I asked a foreign-looking man,
And he replied, quite proudly, too:
"Ich bin einoot Amerigan."
Still farther on I chanced to see
a swarthy man, who stood alone.
"Da nationale?" responded he,
"that one."
I met another down the street,
Who answered with a cheerful grin
When I my question did repeat,
"Be bois, and O'im Amarikan."
A TIME TO THINK
—Texan.
Man in the process of evolution has got rid of his fur, or feathers, and every day he must put on something to take the place of fur, and every night he must take off the artificial clothing.
"I goods da Amarigone." Texan
There is apparently no greater waste of time than the time that is spent in doing something.
Bathing, shaving for men and powdering your nose for women, finding what you want to wear. To dress it—it is a tiresome part of every day.
The hours in which a human being grows and develops mentally are the gullies.
But-
And a great many of us are practically never alone, except when we are with others.
When we are with others we listen,
learn, participate, and debate, but we
prefer to avoid them.
Sleep is a time of idleness—no growth there.
The one thing that makes you more or less a man is the last year is intermittent thought.
Why not say to yourself: Since I must spend at least 330 hours a year in dressing and undressing, in bathing and shaving and looking for my collar button, I'll also spend that time in thinking.
Do you know how many men spend 100 hours a year in actual concentration?
Suppose you see what you can make out of the hours lost in putting on and taking off the artificial fur and skin of a dog. What do you think in the thinking—Chicago American.
Not one in a thousand.

"The ninth annual meeting of the student branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers held here yesterday proved to be one of the most successful meetings over the last decade," Hagenbuch, chairman of the students' branch of the society, this morning. H. A. Fitch, of the Kansas City Structural Steel company, made an interesting talk on, "Industrial De
Captain Warfield, head of the school for lieutenants at Leavenworth, could not give his lecture on 'Warfare' because of official duties.
Calvin W. Rice, national secretary of the society, talked on "The Engineer in Public Service". Mr. Rice said, This is the best program that any service has had to put on. But it is nothing unusual for the K. U. A. S. M. E."

Coach Hamilton Plans Time So It Will Not Interfere With Patriotic Program
The squand held its regular practice yesterday afternoon but did not clash with Potsy's freshman nine as has been the order of the practices for a week. That was announced yesterday, and this was at the shortstop position.
Pratt was put in at shortstop because McMillen, probably the strongest candidate for that position, belongs to the Kansas National Guard and is likely to be called out any day this week. Pratt showed up well in yesterday's practice. His team went over any other game than any been in the practices. Baker and Schoenfeld also could be used at short.
PRATT AT SHORT STOP
The coach is uncertain as to whom he will start at the receiving position tomorrow. Four or five candidates have been showing up well and the coach said he would have to put their names in a hat and draw to tell which one should start the game. The position probably will fall between Carter, McFarland, and Smith. Craig likely will be on the mound, with Chris Judday and Sibuens, and Pratt the coach, with Simons, Bocook, and Taylor in the field.
DATES ARE ALLOWED
Manager Hamilton said last night that the game will not interfere with the patriotic celebration tomorrow afternoon, as the parade will be over by three-thirty so that everyone can out to the game at three-forty-five.
Dates will be allowed for the game, according to Paul Greever, president of the Men's Student Council. This refers to both freshmen and upper-classmen. Freshman caps, however, will be in order. Every one is expected to root for the home team, and this includes dates.
POSTPONE ACTION ON CREDIT
The question of giving full credit to enlisted men who are at the present enrolled in the University was not taken up in the Senate meeting yesterday afternoon because of the large amount of other business. The meeting was adjourned at 6:40 p. m. yesterday.

Make sure it is ALL WOOL
If fitting qualities, appearance and enduring shapeliness are considerations with you, insist upon clothes of all-wool.
As loosely woven—as sparingly lined as you please—but *all-woo!*
All wool tingles in every strand with life—cotton is characterless, lusterless, dead.
Wool responds to the tailor's needle and shapes itself under his touch—cotton is inflexible and unresponsive.
Cotton hidden in a fabric of wool cuts its way to the front, so that a suit which starts out as if it might be all-wool ends up by looking as if it might be all-cotton.
This is an all-wool store, proud of its connection with America's dominant all-wool house
A. B. Kirschbaum Co.-whose advertising has given country-wide fame to the famous slogan:
"All-wool—100 percent and no compromise." $15, 16.50, $20, $25 and up to $40
Hints on the Care of Clothes
Brush your suit or overcook before you put it on and when you take it off. This will keep out the grit and dust, which not only wears out the fabric but gives it a faded appearance.
Don't wear a suit for more than three days in succession. Then give it a thorough brushing and have it pressed.
Once a month turn the coat and trousers inside out and hang them out of doors for a thorough airing.
A systematic observance of these simple rules, will add at least six months to the life of the clothes.

WILL GIVE SIX WEEKS ARMY TRAINING COURSE
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 10, 1917.
Engineering Faculty Plans School for Men Who Aspire to Commissions
ALSO TO TRAIN WORKERS
Three Men Needed in Fields and Factories for Every Man In Uniform
A school for training munition workers, army and navy mechanics, signal corps, engineering, quartermaster and ordinance recruits and officers will be opened by the University of Kansas in a short time. Dr. Frank Strong, chancellor of the University, has approved the plan worked out by the faculty of the School of Engineering and Dean P. F. Walker of the Engineering School went to Leavenworth Monday to confer with army officers.
The army training school will be open to all students of the University and to young men from Kansas towns. The training is planned to last about six weeks. Each student will be given a diploma, a work a driver as nearly as possible the conditions he would meet in navy yards, arsenal, munition plant or field. The remainder of the time will be spent in teaching the rudiments of steam and gas engineering, automobile construction and operating, electric wiring, transmission of electric power, telephone lines, repairing their proper handling and the use of cement in concrete and masonry construction.
WILL USE ENGINEERING SHOPS
"The importance of this work is realized when you know the industrial and civil branches of the army require three workers to every man in the field," said Dean Walker. "If necessary the School of Engineering is ready to diminish work of regular students, allowing them to act as assistants, where possible, and so handle our staff that we may instruct a large number of men. The University environment requires twenty hours a day on four or 5-hour shifts and so accommodate a large number of army students."
Every branch of the School of Engineering, mechanical, electrical, civil, mining, chemical, and sanitary, will be used in the work of the new school. Besides this training for men who expect to enlist in army departments requiring special training, such as the quartermaster's, the signal and the ordnance departments, a course will be given strictly along military lines for men who expect to qualify for the combat engineer. This is proposed with the approval of the adjutant general of the state. Dean Walker taught these subjects in the University of Maine at the time of the Spanish-American war.
This training will include field service, regulations, army organization, regular drill work, class work in military topography, mapping and military roads, and military engineering including drainage, sanitation, earthworks and water systems. The course also will be special classes for electrical signaling and telephoning, practical care of explosives, mining and trenching.
The Kansan Chemallurgist for 1917 came off the press today and will be distributed at the meeting of the National Society in Kansas City this week.
COMPANY M OFFICERS WILL HELP Captain Jones and other officers of Company M, the University unit in the First Kansas, will aid in this work as long as Company M is in Lawrence, KS. Because they have had military training in the army or in school and are prepared to assist in the military instruction.

DUTCH WEDELL MAY RESIGN
Receives Offer of Position at Tuba,
Oklahoma, in Y. M. Social
Service
Dutch Wedell, secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., may resign and accept a position in the social service department of the Tulsa, Oklahoma Y. M. C. A. Wedell said this morning that though he had not met with any other opportunity and presented an excellent opportunity for social service.
Tulsa, with a population of 50,000 because of its rapid growth and enormous wealth has many social problems and has recognized the fact by appropriating $25,000 for social service work.
Dutch has been with the Y. M. C. A, here two years, coming here to take the place of Conrad Hoffman, who resigned to do the M. C. A. work in NYC. The new Weddell resign, his successor will be chosen by the University Association.

The runners who will be entered in the mile are Captain Rodkey, Sproull, Welch, O'Leary, Murphy, and Crawley. In the two mile event Captain Rodkey, Sproull, Stateler, Welch, O'Leary and Murphy will compete.
Practices for the meet are being held every afternoon on McCook Field and the runners are beginning to show up for the meet. The runners come out every afternoon.
$15,000 HANGS IN BALANCE
Vertical Error in Totalling K. U Appropriations May Boost Salaries by That Amount
The question is whether the legis lature appropriated the total of $777, 000, or each item separately. If each item is given separately the amounts that each item was made at the last session for a slight increase in salaries at the Universities but the additional $15,000 was cut by the House. The salaries and wages appropriation was cut to $893,000 which was no changed proportionately.
A mistake of $15,000 has been found in the total of appropriations which the 1917 legislature made for the University of Kansas. The total amount appropriated as printed in the official state papers is $777,000
It is possible that the legislators will say that it is merely a clerical error but as the matter now stands K. U. will get $770,000, if the official state papers stand for anything. Here we question the figures:
Salaries and wages ... $460,000
Maintenance ... 154,000
Repairs ... 35,000
Chancellor's fund ... 500
Of other items ... 119,000

PI UPSILON FRATERNITY HOUSE BURNS MONDAY
Damage to House and Furniture Estimated at $7,000 and Personal Loss at $1000
A fireplace, a defective flue and a probable gaspacket in the wall are the causes of a fire that partly destroyed the Pi Upsilon fraternity house yesterday. The damages are estimated at seven thousand dollars. The house and its furnishings were insured but the fire was ruined by the flames or water, are a dead loss. The personal loss of the members is estimated at $1,000.
Lewis M. Hull who was one of the few members of the Pi Uplion fraternity to be in Lawrence over the summer under the eaves and around the cornices of the front porch. An alarm was immediately turned to in the fire department and in a few moments bands of neighboring townmen and students were busy saving the furniture pictures on the first and second floors.
Even after the arrival of the fire automobile, considerable time was lost because the firemen were unable to get into the base of the flames with a stream of water. A hole was chopped in the weather-boards just above the porch. Almost at the same time, an explosion of the confined gases from the smoke was heard. This opened the way for the flames to lick out onto the roof. The flames had eaten their way from the inner walls into the third floor in a very short period, no doubt by a draft that was sweeping through from the window to another. Nothing was saved here because no opportunity was given to enter on account of the flames.
Much of the furniture and personal possessions of the men on the second floor was saved, however, and the piano, rugs, tables, stove and kitchen outfit were taken to safety. James B. McNaught lost several new dancing costumes valued at seventy-five dollars and several articles of clothing.
ALUMNAE TO GIVE TWO PLAYS
"The Land of The Heart's Desire"
and "The Man Who Married a
Woman."
Dumb Wife" Tonight
Two plays, "The Land of the Heart's Desire," by William Yeats, and "The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife," by Anatole France, will be given in the Fraternal Aid Hall at 8 o'clock tonight. These plays are given under the auspices of the Association of Collegeiate Alumnae and the proceeds will go towards increasing the association's scholarship.
"The Land of the Heart's Desire,
is a poetical play. Miss Helen Clark
in the role of a fairy child, has the
dances in the play, will give several
dances in the play."
Faculty members or wives of faculty members make up the casts of these plays. The idea of giving faceless roles to students year and will be continued each year.
"The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife," is a farce especially adapted for amateur production. Miss Helen Wilson, the author of *Expression school has the leading part.*
The licensed stations have been dis manteled and owners of unlicensed stations are notified that they, too, must dismantle within forty-eight hours of the receipt of this notice, which comes from Mr. J. F. Dillon radio inspector for this district, who has authority to enforce the order.
Notice has been received at Radio Station 91Q, the radio station of S. Kruse at 1538 Kentucky Street, that all local radio stations are to be distributed at once, the acrails being nected until permission to resume operation is granted by the Department of Commerce. This notice has been received at all of the licensed stations in Lawrence, of which there are five, and at all of the unlicensed sets of which they are some thirty-five or forty.
The ushers for the performance to-night will be the Misses Margaret Holder, Evelyn Strong, Ruth Foster, and Carolyn Mewtunn.
ALL WIRELESS STATIONS MUST CLOSE AT
WHY THEY MISSED CLASSES
More than fifty students living on Union Park towns, have an alibi for not attending classes this morning. Union Park train No. 102 due to arrive in Lawrence from the west at 8 o'clock this morning, did not reach 11:30 o'clock. The train hit some freight cars which explain the delay.
GUILTY DANCERS CAN'T ATTEND VARSITY HOPS
The library in Snow Hall was greatly improved during vacation. New casings were put in and the department will serve for several years.
Reprimanded by Chancellor Wil Also Punish Students Caught in Night Raid
The ten University students caught at the unauthorized public dance two weeks ago will be reprimanded by the Chancellor and will not be permitted to attend any University dance this year. A resolution to this effect was passed by the University Senate Wednesday.
The three women were found guilty of breaking the date rule and attending a public dance, which is a violation of the law, while the seven men are punished for violating the latter. More severe punishment was considered, but reprimanding and not permitting them to attend dances was finally decided
The Senate also decided to grant the degree of Master of Science in Education to graduates of the State Normal School and any other schools of the state, who finish a year's graduate work at the University, provided the schools comply with some course requirements.
A special meeting of the Senate will be held next Tuesday to consider the appointment of a committee on University policy. The purpose of such a committee is to confer with the Chancellor about the general policies of the University.
BEWARE OF THE OIL SHARKS
State is Overrun With Wildcat Companies Who Lease and Advertise Worthless Property
"With the increasing interest in oil development which is spreading over the state," said Prof. Raymond C. Moore of the geology department, who is working against certain types of oil companies, which are being operated in Kansas.
"Many of these companies are operated by unscrupulous men who will not hesitate to fcee the unwary inadvertent person, the unwary first and investigates afterwards."
The usual method of procedure of these companies is to lease property of undoubtful value and on this basis attractive advertising and pamphlets making extravagant claims of oil conditions and quick returns are prepared. In one case a map falsely said to be a government publication is used. The public, anxious to get in touch with the stock, later finds that the property is worthless or that the company has mysteriously evaporated.
TWO QUAKES REGISTERED
The Blue Sky laws do something towards combating these wild schemes, but in many cases it is hard to obtain any direct evidence against them. A survey of the oil and gas resources of the state is being made by the State Geological Survey which will be a great aid in this respect.
Seismograph Records Two Shocks 185 Miles Away Yesterday Afternoon
The University seismograph registered two earthquakes yesterday afternoon at a distance of 185 miles. The direction of the disturbance was north, and both quakes came from the same location according to Prof. F. E. Kester.
The primary wave of the first quake came at 2:53:23, the secondary wave at 2:53:57, the long wave at 2:54:12 and the end of the disturbance at 2:56:00. The maximum movement of the needle was three-quarts of an inch.

Plain Tales from the Hill
They were trying to make the 11:30 car Thursday and there was little time to spare. He rushed into Green Hall and left her standing outside. He was to call a cab to get them to the station in time. He grabbed the first phone in sight and placed it on his desk. In a moment a woman answered at the other end of the line. "Say, send a good car just as soon as you can to Green Hall, me'n my girl, two of us want to make the next car. Make it snappy please. We haven't much time. What? This is. Mrs. Eustace Brown's office. 'Um---I beg your permission.' The fact that he hasn't gotten out the nection but had called the jitney company's number on the University branch line. And he wasn't a freshman
Max Brown is credited with having the narrowest escape. When Brown, c'20, stepped on the scales for his physical examination, he balanced them at 125 pounds—just three pounds less than the minimum weight allowed. But Brown was made of the same material as all the fused to be a retreat. Instead, he went over to the water fountain and drank his fill. A second weighing showed that he had gained one and one-half pounds. Brown's thirst seemed to be still unquenched and he again sought the water fountain. he had the proportion of a fire fighting man and he tipped the scales at just 128 pounds—and was accepted by the recruiting officers.
SAFETY FIRST NOTE
Warren Wattles spent his Easter vacation in Kansas City. He returned with all his money.
After all, war is just a practical application of the famous advertising phrase: "Eventually, why not now?"
Mount Oread was a lonesome spot during vacation. With the library running on short time, and with Brick's and Lee's closed, the unfortunate students who remained in town could find no better amusement than remaining in their rooms and studying.
The flames had devastated the third floor of the Pi Upson house and the crowd, nervous and excited, all as "fire-crowds" are, had lapsed into an aftermath of quietude. The firemen were climbing through the charred beams and timbers to cut out windows, but no one entered, who had been standing nearby, was seen to remove his cap and clap his hands. The crowd wondered and then looked up to see a fireman unfurl an American flag from a window. It was scorched and holes were burnt into it here and there. But it elec- tromed them. The fireman threw it to the crowd Below, and a little boy cannuck it.
"Hang it on the fence there, here,
and spread it out so we can see."
And spread it out so we can see.
Rusty Friend, returning several hours late from his Easter vacation, rushed madly to the telephone to find out about his date. The clock said 9:30, and the party at the other end said "No she's at the Varsity." It is rumored that Rusty has lost his good disposition.
One of the proofs that the world is growing better is the fact that there is less space being given to the column since war was declared.
K. U. Musician Gave Local Tinge to Thursday's Concert—Belgian Airs Sir Audience
Carl Preyer, professor of piano, was heard in concert with the Zoellner String Quartet Thursday night in Robinson Gymnasium. The local musician added particular interest to the performance of the Zoellner musicians, who are capable of making an interesting evening, unaided.
National airs played by Belgians, who as a people have the deep sympathy of all Americans, gave the program a touch of the enthusiasm without which no concert has been complete for several weeks.
Frank Strong, Chancellor.
For the purpose of regulating the work and securing complete records of the men who enter military service, a committee to act in an advisory capacity and to give information as to the kinds of service, has been appointed. P. F. Walker is chairman of this committee, which will act for the whole University. Other members of the committee will be announced later. Any incidents contemplating entering a branch of service should confer with Dean Walker.
FULL CREDIT AND NO EXAMS FOR ENLISTERS
Senate Ruling Applies Only to Those Doing Passing Work Who Will Return
WILL FINISH SCHOOL YEAR
Commencement and May Fete Will be Modified and Money Given to Hospital
Full credit will be given to all K. U, students who are members of the Kansas National Guard or who wish to enlist before the end of the present semester, according to a rule passed last week at a special meeting of the University Senate. Students, however, must be doing pass work at the time they leave school, but no examination is required.
At any time they return to the University they will have their year's credits although work which is pre-designed must be finished before going on with their projects. The University of Missouri and many other universities and schools over the United States have taken similar action, so that students who enroll in the navy may not be handicapped by being deprived of their school credits.
TO HAVE COMMENCEMENT
The resolution which is introduced at the same meeting to abolish commencement exercises and festivities this spring and suggesting that the money saved by doing away with these exercises be used for the local hospital fund or for some other war emergency, failed to pass. The Chancellor's cabinet was authorized, however, to consider the advisability of modifying the exercises in any way or of abolishing the Annual May Fete.
Chancellor Strong believes the University ought to finish the year in as normal a manner as possible under the circumstances because there will be trouble enough later. He may make me again in special session tomorrow to take on the matter of a Senate committee to take up the matter of a Senate policy.
MAY DROP FACULTY
This committee was originated for the purpose of conferring with the Chancellor and deans on important University affairs. The present committee will undertake a law attachment by the new law and members of the Senate feel that as members of the governing body of the University they should have more voice in University policies. The Chancellor is judge and judge commissionations for changes at the present.
One thing the Senate anticipates and which will mean the dropping of part of the faculty is the decrease in the University enrollment on account of something. Something will have to be done if the faculty drops off 1,000 by next year and the Senate wants to have a say in any such faculty changes.
WHO'S WHO LISTS FACULTY
Sketches of Achievements of Twenty-
nine K. U. Professors Given in

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news by standing up and speaking to play no favorities; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be friendly; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university and to the students of the University.
TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 1917.

THE WAR AND THE UNIVERSITY Higher learning is placed on trial by the declaration of war.
From the ranks of educated men and women must come the sound judgment that refuses to be swayed by popular hysteria.
Educated men must serve in the army and navy. Educated men and women must use their talents in technical lines to add to the fighting efficiency of the country. They must sacrifice gladly.
University of Kansas students and faculty promise to live up to these requirements.
There is no reason why the University should go into the proverbial "sack cloth and ashes."
The most effective service for the nation will not be achieved by bombast and excitement. The University can serve best by quiet, earnest effort, based on the realization that the United States is engaged in a critical struggle to uphold democracy and Christian ideals.
The action of the University Senate in refusing to eliminate entirely commencement exercises, because of the war, seems wise.
Student activities should continue on a moderate scale. There should be no unnecessary expense. Decorations for the Sophomore Hop should be simple. Elaborate parties can be curtailed, but need not be omitted. There appears to be little logic in the suggestion that athletes be given up—decidedly not the intra-mural contests unless the same energy is devoted to military drill.
Authorities at the helm of the University already are facing war problems. An opening decision was made by the University Senate to allow students entering military service before the semester's close, full credit for their work. Students and many faculty members alike, face the question of enlisting. Probably fifty have entered the National Guard in the past week. The University unit in the Kansas National Guard, Company M, is not yet recruited to full strength, however.
Executive officers of the school are uncertain as to the effect of the war on the University enrollment next year. The answer to this will come along with the answers to other questions, when the exact details of national policy in pushing the war, are made known.
THE PADDLING DECISION
After requesting an expression of student sentiment, the University Senate disciplinary committee immediately recommended the abolishing of paddling and the Senate adopted the recommendation.
Paddling is no more—the student vote notwithstanding.
It is further announced that it is left to the students to decide what shall be done to enforce the cap rule.
The Kansan admits the possibility that the decision to abolish paddling may be justifiable.
But in all seriousness, the Kansar believes that having eliminated padding, the Senate or the disciplinary committee as its representative, should work out some substitute method that would mean that the freshmen cap tradition is retained.
The mere abolishing of paddling, followed by an 'I should worry' attitude over the retention of the cap tradition does not seem fair.
Meanwhile, it will be interesting to observe how many freshmen wear their designated caps this week—and next.
A SWEET MORAL LESSON
There was a young lady named Frances
Who went to the Wednesday night dances.
But now since the raid
She says it don't pay to take chances
What K. U, really needs is a Society for the Prevention of Tortoise Shell Rimmed Spectacles.
TIS A HARD LIFE
There is always consolation for disappointed friends of the University. Inadequate support may be all that is received from the state legislature. But the University might fare worse.
The Kansan reprints from the Emporia Gazette today, the suggestion by William Allen White, that the freshmen and probably the sophomore classes of the University be eliminated.
The suggestion recalls the "Efficiency and Economy" report, made by Senator Lambertson and Representative Burton:
"K U. is heavy at the top," said the report. The assertion was made that too much emphasis is placed on graduate work and too little on freshmen and sophomore studies.
Doing away with the University might end the argument.
Is has been suggested that the laws expend the energy now used in standing on Green Hall steps in cultivating the flower beds.

“It is a sort of conversation you get when you call on a prof.”—Yale Record.
"To be at home in all lands and at all ages; to count nature a familiar acquaintance and art an intimate friend; to gain a standard for the appreciation of other men's work and a criticism of your own work; to study the world's library in your pocket, and feel its resources behind you in whatever task you undertake; to make hosts of friends among men of your own age who are to be leaders in all walks of life; to lose yourself in general activity; to speak with world leaders for common ends; to learn manhood from students who are gentlemen and for character under professors who are Christians. This is the offer of the college for the best four years of your life," says William Wilson, the founder of Brown College (the school from which Longfellow was graduated)—O. M. U. Campus.

POET'S CORNER
Our hands are trembling and our eyes
grow dim:
And yet some hundred thousand things we leaked.
SPRING FEVER
Our brains are reeling from the hail of fact.
Oh give us rest!
From multitude of detail set us free! Who cares today just how Great Caesar lived;
Or how erythro-dextrin came to be.
rne laboratory mocks, the classroom
palls;
We pray for rest!
Outside the flowers are springing, birds are singing.
NOW THEN—
he river sparkles, Life and Spring time calls.
The 1917 Kansas legislature has passed a law subsidizing high schools which will add a "junior college" to two years of college work. Now then-
time calls. Ruth Patrick.
Let the 1910 legislature pass another law, subsidizing the Kansas denominated colleges which carry on work for which credit is given by the University, and let the University do away with its freshman and sophomore classes and devote its entire time to being a "senior" college and a graduate and professional school.
Handling of large droves of freshmen has been the greatest task at the University. It has been the chief financial problem and the chief teaching problem. It has cost the state a lot of money without getting important results, because the under classes at the University have been taught, in large part, by assistant professors, assistant assistant professors, instructors and assistant instructors and paid meager wage and therefore bring the University a meager training and a meager teaching experience.
The Kansas towns the size of Emporia and larger will adopt the junior college idea, and the result will be to keep at home 18-year-olds and 19-year-olds, who should be kept at home. If the Kansas demographic is it will take care of the rest of these junior collegians, the real bane of the University.
The state should not give its aid to the denominational schools unless the denomination schools rigidly conform to certain conditions. State aid should be given only to a school which will raise for its junior college department twice the sum required to prepare the school should have the right to prescribe the grade of work, and the right to pass upon the qualifications of the members of the faculty.
The junior college has been established as a success. It is time for the University to take a long step forward by turning over to other hands the work of preparing students for work that really is of university grade.-William Allen White in the Emoria Gazette.
In the College of Emporia, such recognized teachers as F. T. Owen, Conrad Vandervelde and T. E. Mergendahl, men of teaching experience and of worth, teach freshman classes. In the University, men of learning are seen a freshman in a classroom once a month. The Emporia condition exists in other colleges of Kansas. Men and women who are real teachers are meeting freshman classes, but freshmen sometimes are gage-educated. The students in these college of fellows and third-rate instructors. Ten thousand dollars a year, say, from the state, conditional upon the college itself spending $20,000 from its denominational supporters, upon the freshmen and sophomore instructors, and many denominational school in the state—and it would be a greater thing for the state.
"Art wins the heart," the maiden elicited.
The University is growing rapidly. But it is becoming too cluttered up with freshmen, and is spending too much time and money on advanced high school work to be a real university. It is doing worse done by the high schools, aided and assisted by the denominational colleges.

KANSAS SHOULD HAVE A COLORED REGIMENT
James King, Veteran of Spanish-
American War, Says His Race
Is Ready to Fight
"We ought to have a colored regiment from Kansas and from every state in the Union. Our troops in Mexico showed we could fight."
So spoke James King, the tall colored janitor of Fraser Hall, who saw six months of real service in Cuba during the Spanish-American war.
"Yessir," emphasized the genial junior, "You could order a regiment of colored soldiers to close the gates you'd do it. That's how brave they are."
Caution is Mr. King's middle name,
"Who are you? A newspaper reporter?"
he asked when approached.
"No shi, I don't want my name in the
paper," he said. But when told that no harm was meant, he soon swung into tales of the "hot times"
of '98.
"We landed in Cuba and went into camp at San Luis, near Santiago, about the time Teddy and his Rough Riders left that district. No, I wouldn't say it got too hot for Teddy. We were mostly on guard duty. We had a few skirmishes, but no real big battle."
Asked if he had ever killed a Spaniard, the jannier-soldier said: "I shot at 'em a few times, but I'm not saying I killed any.
"I'm a little over age now." The janitor was now sweeping the sawdust into rows of breastworks and more sombre mounds. "I was twenty then, and young and spry. That was nineteen years ago," she said, if the country needs me, after the young fellows have gone, I'm willing to go."
And the janitor kept on sweeping.

The "Campus Serviceable" will supplement the "Campus Beautiful" if the plans Chancellor Strong is considering are carried out. More than fifty of the 160 acres of the campus are available for cropping where potatoes and other garden truck may be planted.
the time to save food is before the bottom of the flour barrel is reached," said Doctor Strong this morning, "The University has experts in foods and is eager to offer services to the country. The woman in the kitchen and man behind the plow are just as important to the country, if not more so, because she was a third recruit. It is difficult for rich, well-fed Kansas to realize the need of economizing now, but Kansas must realize it.
"No one knows where this war will lead. Our Civil War was to have lasted only a few months, as every one believed when it began. When a country goes to war, we need more and more until all its resources are required. I hope we will not be drawn in to such a terrible extent, but we are in and we cannot tell how far we may have to go. Waste now may cripple us badly because it's why we are thinking of planting plantains on the University campus."
The Chancellor has written to the Secretary of Agriculture and to Governor Capper offering the services of the University and the University of Ottawa of increasing and conserving the food supply as well as in active military work.
GRADUATE SCHOOL GRANTS
CREDIT TO NORMAL GRADS
The question of giving credit in the Graduate School to graduates of normal schools in Kansas was taken up at the meeting of the University Senate, and the report of the Senate committee on visitation was accepted. Graduation was followed by a bachelor of science degrees in education will be admitted to the University Graduate School to take work for the master of science degrees.
Students holding a B. S. from a normal school cannot, however, take work in the Graduate School for the master of arts degree. The heads of the Kansas State University U. with the visitation committee and worked out a standard plan for granting this credit to normal school graduates.

KANSAS WINS OPENING GAME WITH NORMALS
1
Score 3 to 1 at End of Hotly Contested Early Season Game
GAME SAVED IN EIGHTH
Poirier Fans Fourteen Visitors and Brings in Two Winning Scores.
The Jayhawker baseball nine won their opening game of the season, Thursday afternoon, in a close exciting clash with the strong Kansas Normal nine by a 3 to 1 score. A large crowd saw the game despite the fact that most of the student body had gone home for the Easter vacation.
Neither team scored or hit during the first three innings, but at the beginning of the fourth, the Teachers took the lead by making the first of the games win by a second by the bench. The Teachers continued in the lead until the last half of the sixth innning when Captain Smee, the first man to bat, made a two-bagger for the first Jayhawker hit. Adrian Lindsey followed and Cooper pitched the first free hit to first, then McCarty then sent in Bill Weber, pinch-hitter, and he made a fast hit between short and third, scoring Smee. Neither team scored again until the last half of the eighth innning when Poirier brought inenson and the winning on a fast hitInst the first base line.
Poirier was easily the star of the Jayhawker nine by fanning fourteen of the Normal players besides bringing in the two winning scores on his hit inside first base line. Williams, Normal second baseman. The game would probably have been closer if Coach Hargiss had not put Rehm in as pitcher in place of Cooper in the half half of the eighth inning.

NOTICE
Many are ready and anxious to render service of some sort in connection with the war. For such the following information is given.
To Men of the University :
Opportunities in the several army departments.
1. Enlistment in Company M or other National Guard Unit. Infantry, medical and engineer branches now open. Cavalry and field artillery later.
Opportunities in the several army departments:
2. Enlistment direct for active service in the Regular Army, in any branch. Many men are wanted for the Signal, (including aviation), Quartermaster, and Ordnance sections.
3. Enlistment for the Enlisted Reserve Corps in these same non-combat sections, and also in Engineer and Medical Corps.
4. Examination for commission in the Officers Reserve Corps, open to men soon to graduate who have had military training.
5. Examination for commission as provisional Second Lieutenant in the Regular Army.
1. Under civil service commission regulations, positions as mechanic in ship yards and arsenals. Many men wanted.
- Clerk's and other positions with military units.
2. Clerks and other positions will immediately move.
3. Positions which may be secured later with munition plants.
For many of these positions, especially those with the Quartermaster Department and in arsenals, a course for mechanics which is being arranged will be necessary unless one has worked some time in a trade. All interested should apply at once for information and enroll in the class.
A second form of instruction to be given is for the benefit of those whose ambition it is to secure an officers' commission. Such men have three lines of procedure open to them. One is by enlistment in Company M and then studying to take examination. Perhaps this is the shortest way, and it is well known that state officials look to this company for officers for new units to be formed under the National Guard system. When the second call comes for men, under universal regulation or as volunteers, officers for that large group will be drawn largely from the enlisted force of regular army and guard. The other two ways are noted in nos. 4 and 5 above.
The work laid out is as follows:
4. Drill, in voluntary units outside of Company M for all who wish it
On the University faculty are a half dozen or more men who have
been officers or seen active service, and who will serve as drill
masters.
2. Class work in Field Service Regulations, Records, Reports, and Manual of Court-Martial, by Capt. Jones while he remains in Lawrence.
3. Class work in Drill Regulations, Organizations, and Military Science by P. F. Walker.
4. Class work in Military Engineering by W. C. McNown.
4. Class work in Military Engineering
5. Class work in Military Topography and Mapping by C. C. Williams
6. Class work in Telephony and in Telephony G. C. Shaas
6. Class work in Electrical Engineering
7. Class work in use and handling of explosives by R. L. Grider.
At the start these classes will be open only to seniors and juniors and to members of Co. M and other National Guard Units. All may take the drill. This is not an official officers' school and no one should get any foolish notions about its leading direct to a commission. It will serve the purpose of assisting men to pass examinations, however.
examinations, however. All who are interested should call at my office and enroll before the first meeting for drill which is set for Wednesday evening at 7:15 in Robinson Gymnasium.

1918 Leader Will be Chosen at Banquet at Bricken's Cafe
Tonight
The annual basketball banque
which was scheduled to take place at
Brick's Cafe last Wednesday night
has been postponed until 7:00 o'clock
tonight according to Manager W. O.
Hamilton.
The captain for the 1918 quintet will be elected at the banquet. It is not known for certain who will be the choice for the captaincy but Rudolf Uhlraub, star Jayahayweir forward, seems to be the candidate a junior in the School of Engineering and has made a K on the quintet for the last two years.
Spring practices for the quintet next year have already begun under the charge of Coach Dutch Uhrlaub. The practices are held twice a week on Monday and Wednesday nights in Robinson Gymnastium, and said he wanted every Varsity candidate who is not engaged in other sports to report for the practices. Sixteen players have already reported.

SPORT BEAMS
K. U. will continue to play her scheduled games according to Manager W. O. Hamilton as long as enough athletes remain in the University to make up the different teams. Up to the present only two of the well known Jayhawker athletes have enlisted in the army. Jick Fast famous halfback on the football team, and McLheenny, a strong candidate for the baseball nine are the only ones to enlist so far.
The Umpire of the Kaysee Star gives the logical reasons why the Kansas City high school athletes should compete in the high school meet to be held here, no matter how many athletes of Loomis and Lander ability compete. Competition is the life of athletics and Kansas City usually gets her share of the honors. It would be a poor meet in which the best high school athletes did not compete.
The Jayhawker baseball nine won their first game of the season Thursday afternoon from the Kansas Normal nine by a 3 to 1 score. The game was exciting from start to finish. Many of the spectators said it was one of the best opening games they had ever seen.
A good place to make your headquarters. Particularly desirable for ladies—being on Petticat Lane—the center of the shopping district.

Adrian Lindsey, who usually puts the ball over the south fence, had some exceptionally hard luck in the game Thursday afternoon. He was forced to tackle two free pins and hit bit one, and made one sacrifice hit.
HOTEL KUPPER
Stephenson, who replaced Bocook at center field in the sixth inning, showed up exceptionally. He hit one out and made one hit, one run, one put-out, and no errors.
One of the spectators who was watching the practice on McCook Field yesterday afternoon asked if Lindsey had knocked the eye (1) out of the alphabet which has various sections: the bleachers, the man's letter is on the south side of the bleachers where Lindsey puts most of his drives.
Let us figure on that next banquet.
Besides having a slugging nine, the Jayhawks also have an exceptionally good pitching staff—composed of Red Craig, Captain Smce, Constant Poirier, all "K" men on last year's nine, besides two or three promising candidates from this year's squad. The first trio, however, will

LAWRENCE PEOPLE TO PUSH RED CROSS WORK
President Wilson Desires All Work to be Supervised by National Society
STUDENTS TO VOLUNTEER
Committees Will Make Complete Survey of Ability of Entire City to Aid
A huge Red Cross campaign was launched today in Lawrence as a result of President Wilson's message Friday in which he asked that all work done to alleviate suffering in the present war be conducted under the direction of the national Red Cross Society. In this way useless would result in the lack of organizations would result with many organizations in the field, are done away with.
A call for volunteers from the student body and the citizens of Lawrence will be issued this week for making a complete survey of the re-entry population in Cross work of all the families in the city. This work must be completed within ten days. Students will make the best sort of workers in this camp, but it will take more than this morning urged University students to help all they can in the work.
Besides finding out how much Red Cross work will be undertaken by each family, the amount of sewing, fabric and materials they are willing to give, the survey will find how many wish to do gardening or have land which they will give for the use of public gardening. The Red Cross conducted because the Red Cross has charge of supplying food in case of suffering from famine.
The survey is being directed by Prof. M. C. Elmer, of the department of sociology, who is an expert in social survey work. The success of the campaign will depend to a great extent upon the work done by the K. U. men and women. Many similar activities in the Philippines several months, and now that war has been declared the work is being carried on with doubled effort.
Prof. J. N. Van der Vries said this moring the less expensive contributions will be urged in the campaign for membership in the Red Cross, and practically all work would be to get $1 memberships. There will be two committees downtown and a University committee. Prof. J. N. Van der Vries. Else Neuen Schwander, Prof. Nadine Nowilin, Prof. C. H. Ashawan, Dean F. J. Kelly, Prof. T. T. Smith, Prof. P. V. Faragher, Prof. W. R. B. Robertson, Prof. E. B. Stoffer, and Prof. M. W. Sterling are on the University committee.
FRENCH OF TRENCHES FOR STUDENT SOLDIERS
Romance Department Will Do Its Bit to Help K. U. "War Bureau."
In co-operation with the University military authorities, the Romance language department is considering a new course in oral French and Spanish to be started at once. This will give the men and women who are enlisted in some military organization, and who might possibly be sent to Europe, a chance to become familiar with the more commonly spoken words of French. The course will first teach such phrases and expressions as will enable a person to purchase his meal in France. Then the trench words signifying army divisions and orders will be mastered.
In short the purpose of the course as outlined at the departmental meeting last night will be to make an army or Red Cross organization in France to better co-operate with the French mission by speaking their language.
The course is a volunteer course and will probably be taught in night classes. Nothing definite has been decided as it is not known how many wish to take the course. Mr. F. A. G. Cowper, professor of Romance languages was appointed chairman of a course that is instituted and made suggestions for the course. Any suggestions should be turned in to him or to the other members of the committee: A. L. Owen and Mark Skidmore.
Y. M. C. A. To Hold Conference
"Plans are being made for holding a Y. M. C. a conference in June," Dutch Wededl, general secretary said this morning. "We expect to have program written with respect." Theference for Y. M. workers held April 5 and 6 showed us the desirability of holding another such meeting."

NUMBER 130.
The University Concert Course will close its series with two concerts given by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, Thursday afternoon and evening, April 19, in Robinson Symphony Hall, where the concert has repeatedly been Lawrence, it is entirely unnecessary to say anything of the organization, as it is always greeted by a packed house for both concerts. This year, the orchestra's performances bring with it. They are: Marie Kaiser, soprano; Jean Vincent Cooper, contralto; Warren Proctor, tenor; Royal Dadmun, dhumur; Richard Czerwonky, violin and Corpilius van Vilet, cello. These artists will add a new piece to the program, which grams will be given under Mr. Oberhoffer's direction.
The orchestra will arrive early Thursday morning in its own special train, a. "leave the night of the con- fession," Kansas, where it gives two programs.
Only a few seats remain unsold for these two concerts, as practical; everything in Robinson Gymnasm was sold out in season tickets to the entire crowd. The remaining tickets will be put on sale at the Round Corner Drug Store and the Registrar's office Thursday morning April 12, and those who wish to bu tickets to both concerts can do so. If any single admission tickets are left for this sale, they will go on sale the morning of April 16, at the same places.
CHEMISTS CONVENE IN K. C
Students and Faculty Represent University at Meeting of American Chemical Society
The University of Kansas will be well represented at the meeting of the American Chemical Society at Kansas City. Several K. U. men are on the program. Prof. H. P. Cady is chairman of the society, and Prof. W. A. Whitaker is president of the Kansas City section of the society.
The first chemical address will be held this afternoon. Petroleum and has being the subject for discussion. B. C. Moore, of the department of reology, and Ivan P. Parkhurst, professor of chemistry will lecture. Roy Cross and E. E. Lyder, both K. U. graduates will also speak.
All juniors and senior chemists have been requested to attend the meetings at Kansas City, and many of them will be there at least part of the time. The professors who will attend are: R. C. Moore, E. H. S. Bailey, H. P. Cady, F. B. Daines, G. W. Stratton, F. Faragher, G. W. Stratton. The following assistants also expect to be there W. M. Latimer, E. V. Berger, Avis Tailcock, Ralph A Branch, R. N. Harger, W. M. Janney Ivan P. Parkhurst, and W. C. Seibel.
A young instructor in the department of English who is reported to have various ideas of his own believes that most of the women leave the University with curvatures of the spine, although there are a few who can get over a mud-puddle without being helped.
There will be regular semimonthly convocation at 10:10 o'clock Friday, April 13. Classes will be shortened according to the usual schedule for convocation mornings.
This is the stock question going the rounds among the men of the University these days. Up to the present, writing, some thirty men are in charge. The remainder are cherishing dreams of receiving commissions.
Chancellor Frank Strong is in Kansas City today attending the meeting of the state Republican National Committee.

Miss Helen Clark is charming. Those who recall "The Stuff of Laughter", last year, know of her artistic interpretation of the imaginative in the poetry of motion. As a writer of poetry and prose she same delicacy and finesse of touch. An added charm comes from the dramatic reading of aer lines. Mr. Willard Wattles as Shawn Brunel and Mrs. R. E. Carter as the young bride

But then, there's 'the Man Who Married a Dumb Wi'. This is a satirical, sixteenth century force written by Anatoleine. A man has married a dumb wife. He will not let well enough medical profession cut his "dear Catherine's tongue ligament" and give her a pill. Why did the apothecary give her a pill? Sh-hh-! A professional secret! Because of the interdependence of the organs! And then Catherine talked: That is—haltingly afraid of fire. The man that—she gabbled and chattered incestually and gave him no peace until, in despair, she summoned the salutary triumvirate. These men, with much pamphil and dignity, produced in him "a sweet and gentle cophosis, which (ahem) is vulgarly called deafness". The wife tried to cajole him with honied words—but
CLEVER COMEDY SHOW!
"The illusory," he trumpeted in emotion joy, "from a thing." From pity, the wife swings to terror and then to madness. She bites her husband, who in turn, bites a doctor on stage until everyone on the stage is mad.
Miss Helen Rhoda Hoopens can well claim the honors which she won last night in her interpretation of the "Dumb Wife", Catherine B. Harp, sharp and elegant; B. Catherine, enunciation; her nervous and estatic movements made the audience see the spirit of the "spring too long bottled up" and the expression of pent exhilaration. Mr. Gerhard Baergren, Mr. Mc Elmer as Mastere Adam Fume must both be commended for their excellent work in those roles.
FRENCH RELIEF WORKER TO SPEAK HERE FRIDAY
Miss Fell, Who Has Worked in France, is Organizing Committees In U. S.
It is a national movement started by the French government called "Orphelin des Armees," the "orphans of the army," or as it is known in this country, "The Fatherless Children of France."
Miss Elizabeth Fell, who will speak in convolution Friday morning concerning the relief work for French orphans, is one of the organizers of the relief work. She has been active in the actual relief work in Paris. Last year she traveled all over this country, speaking to university audiences and in large cities, placing the needs of the organizers in the center and organizing local committees.
A Daily Letter Home—The Daily Kansan.
The French government allows to the widow of a soldier about thirty-five cents each day. The society asks her to teach children for a child in order to guard against the danger of privation and insure a minimum of security.
"Miss Fell is a very interesting and forceful speaker and will bring the latest information in regard to him in France and the French orphan."
"Probably no phase of the war relief work has appealed more strongly to the people of the United States," said Prof. D. L. Patterson of the department of history this morning. He was in France as a war correspondent for the Pittsburg Gazette Times last summer.
"So far about fifty thousand fatherless children have been aided, but only a beginning has been made, for it is estimated that if the war will end, there will be at least three hundred thousand in need of assistance.

WAR BUREAU ATTRACTS TALENT OF UNIVERSITY
Men With Military and Technical Training Offer Services to Organization
TRAIN FOR COMMISSIONS
Special Classes Open to Students of All Departments of University
All morning a swarm of students have surrounded Dean Walker's desk waiting for an opportunity to enroll in college. They will be conducted by a half dozen faculty men who have been officers or have seen active service. These units are filling rapidly, and they will assemble in Robinson Gymnasium tonight.
Immediate mobilization of the brains of the University into a big War Bureau for the purpose of securing complete records of the men who were sent to the war, and in writing the work was announced by Chancellor Strong yesterday. The Bureau will be large enough to care for the entire University, Dean Walker, of the School of Engineering, has been given additional other members have not been named.
ALL WANT TO BE OFFICERS
"How can I secure an officers' commission?" is the question most frequent in the phone calls of three lines of procedure open to men who desire commissions. Probably the shortest way is to enlist in Company M and study for an examination. According to late dispatches from Washington no more National Guard units will be formed. If such is the case this route to a commission will be present National Guard units are full.
The other two ways are to take examinations for a commission in the Officers' Reserve Corps or for a commission as provisional Second Lieutenant. These examinations are not snaps according to men who have tried them.
OFFER TECHNICAL COURSES Dean Walker is giving much time and personal advice to the men as to the military courses they should follow in order to advance as quickly as possible. They will receive a arm of the service which they expect to enlist. Courses are open to seniors and juniors and to members of Company M in field service regulations, military science, military engineering, topography, electrical signalling, and in the handling of explosives.
COLLEGE GRADS GIVEN PREFERENCE IN EXAMS
Registrar Receives Letters for Credentials to be Used in Getting Commissions
The need of the nation for commissioned officers to train the new armies which will be raised in the United States within the next two months, is showing its effect at the University. The Registrar's office has been swamped for the past week with letters and telegrams from former students and graduates asking for certificates of their work done at K. U. or to show that they are graduates from the school.
College men and graduates of universities are given preference in the examinations for officers' commissions in the regular army. It has been estimated that it will take 100.- 000 officers to train the required number of recruits into condition for a war. The number of officers the war body of Congress will mean that a million men will have to be trained within the next two years.
Registrar Foster predicts a decrease in enrollment next semester with developments in the war crisis and that it is almost certain to be a large falling off of attendance at the Summer Session. Many students have already left school, either to work or enlist in the regular army or national guard. It would have joined the newly formed engineering company in Topeka and some of the others have enlisted in guard units in their home towns.
Although the faculty will not be decreased to any great extent, it is quite likely that some members having one course of study will have it; it is seen that many of the sections of the same class will have to be abolished. Members of the faculty feel that the war will be brought to a successful close by the time the University reopens. There is a decrease in enrollment and in faculty members will not become a fact.
Really, it's nearly time to put the ban on those "When I was home Easter" stories.

TO THE FIRST
During the Easter vacation many K. U. men enlisted in Uncle Sam's service to help through the present crisis. These have gone into every branch of the service, and stand ready to respond to the call whenever it comes.
Praise is due these men who have taken the first step that nearly every man in the University may take before many months pass. The University will ever honor the men who have taken the lead.
RAG-TIME VS. MUSIC
In this age of nationalism in music it is not especially gratifying to note the position which America still maintains in this line. Music teachers may talk all they want to about MacDowell, Gottschalk, or Stephen Foster representing the national music of America, but they dare not overlook the fact that the great mass of our music comes not from brilliant musicians such as these, but rather from a group of rag-time composers in Chicago and New York who pick tunes from the piano key-board like a high-school girl picks letters from a typewriter, and whose lives are so insignificant that not one person in twenty is familiar with the name of a single one of the personages, although he hears their music played day in and day out.
This is the main reason why music containing.real art is not appreciated, even by the majority of University students, who, by the way, are supposed to be cultured. Regardless of this, no one can be really cultured unless he has an artistic taste; and he cannot have an artistic taste unless he enjoys the worth of good music. A student musician was asked the other day if he played Tachaikowsky "Nope," he replied; "I've sworn off card playing, except solitaire." Girls also can show their ignorance. In an ice cream parlor the other night one was asked if she liked Chaminate. "Oh, it's just too delicious for anything!" was the answer.
ON STUDENT GOVERNMENT
No, Schubert's songs did not remain in oblivion because they were of poor quality. They failed to become popular because they ran in competition with "Will the Spearmint Lose Its Flavor on the Bedpost Over Night?"
Just what part do the students play in their own government at the University.
This question has been asked by many, especially since the action of the Senate in regards to paddling. A vote of the students was taken to determine their attitude on the question. It was naturally supposed that
since the disciplinary committee asked for an expression of student opinion, that it would have some weight with the Senate.
Since the students voted a few years back to return the student government to the faculty, this is the only way of getting the opinion of the undergraduate body. The poll showed an overwelming majority in favor of the retention of paddling. It was taken seriously as was shown by the thoughtful suggestions written on the ballots.
The Senate has seen fit to take away the students' means of enforcing the cap tradition, what means are they going to suggest to take the place of the paddle?
From the number of Greek letters carved on the arms of the class-room chairs one would think that the three thousand students were all enrolled in Greek courses.
Some professors ought to make good U-Boat commanders. They are always trying to create an impression that they are such deep thinkers.
WHY WE ARE IN WAR
It is a natural alliance for the United States to join the liberal coalition. We can find a fundamental cause for war in the present issue, one that is important to the United States and to the world.
"We believe that it is essential to the democratic idea expressed in the United States that the democracy of France and Great Britain and, as newly established in Russia, be not the only source of triumph autocracy in Germany.
The United States could not safely face the military power of that autocracy, which needs only a decided triumph to be firm in the esteem of the German people themselves. If it is to be denied a triumph the government can change, and form of government, substantially if not violently.
The United States, we are sure, is not interested in aggression against Germany. It is interested in preventing aggression by Germany.
The war we enter is one of the highest practicality to the American republic. We enter on the side which we have come to believe in the security of the United States. We shall be stronger and more reliant when we come out. We must develop the use case and rout of our force without needless ruur but with needed determination.
A very high ideal can guide the United States, and it will comfort most Americans to know that the nation is doing what is needed for the guarding of the present and the security of the future American republic.
It is a war with a big cause to be undertaken with much devotion and with all the power the republic can raise.—Chicago Tribune.
SCIENCE OF NOTE-TAKING
Like the stenographer who concentrates all of her attention upon her words, the average note-taker in our study attempts to get every word verbatim.
Note-taking is a science. It is a science based upon judgment and governed by close attention. Just what is extraneous and what is gist must be distinguished by close attention; subordination of material must be arranged by exercise of judgment.
The student who gives his closest attention, jotting down only dates and statistics, gets more out of a course than the person who covers pages with notes. The most important message in the lecture while trying to get more words, and when preparing for an examination, finds it hard to separate what is important from what is superficial. Close mental attention is vastly to be preferred to attention to words, the results are often beneficial but a collection of closely written pages which must be studied again before the reviewer can get the real meaning of the lecture—Michigan Daily.

CAMPUS OPINION

UNIVERSAL SONG LEARNING To the Editor of the Kansan:
The Kansan is always up and doing. Vhy not establish the custom of requiring all Freshmen to learn certain University songs by a specified date?
The disciplinary forces of the upper classman could determine a suitable punishment.
In one college I know the delinquents must perform on the chapel steps for the entertainment of the throng. After the date set, any Junior or Senior may stop a Freshman and 'est his knowledge of the songs.
Should you adopt a similar plan, you would have a fair beginning of University's singles. There's a custom that will produce unity, and loyalty to the school. This is a virtue in thusiasm and a cordiality that few other common interests can touch.
By the way—I wonder how many Kate and I know your unfriendly relative alumni but
But to return to my point—to induce present upper classmen to join the movement, you might propose that "Member of the All-University Sing" be inscribed beneath their names in the Jawshaker.

HE IS "SORE"
To the Editor of the Kansan:
Here's to the Senat!
I suppose, it is all right. The Senate is the "Emperor" of the University and the student body has about as much force in the control of its interests as the average peasant has in the affairs of state in Germany.
In spite of the overwhelming vote of the students in favor of the retention of paddling as a means of enforcing tradition, the Senate has published
The Kansan of Thursday says "It is left to the students to decide what shall be done to enforce the wearing of the caps." But I would like to ask "What's the use?" when it is a foregone conclusion that the Senate can and will overrule any suggestion that would effect the desired end.
Perhaps I am pessimistic but this looks just like the thin edge of a wedge to me. The abolishing of the caps themselves will follow the anti-paddling rule, then comes the turn of the night shirt parade, next rallies and student meetings of all kinds, and finally athletes. And then K.U. will have reached their city—a school in which there are no "disbursement" interests and students can spend their entire time in the grind, grind, grind.
COLUMBIA MOBILIZES ALUMNI
Columbia has mobilized the services of about 10,000 of her $3,500 graduates and students for the national high school program, and has divided her Faculty into eight different corps, with President Nicholas Murray Butler as chief of staff corps to supervise the mobilization. Returns from the remaining graduates are still pouring in, and many of the personal index registration cards showing the services for which the graduates are specially fitted.

NEWSPAPER MEN CAN AID WAR CENSORSHIP
Know
Know How to Give the People the News They Should
CENSOR NEWS IN FIELD
Officers and Reporters Could Work Together to Protect Army Plans
The dissemination and control of information concerning the present crisis is one of the most vital factors that has shaped our lives. It is a nation of readers and the people insist on being told the news even though they do not believe it. This work will require a great number of journalists, and here the journalists can be used.
Newspaper men know the kind of news that the people are interested in and are better fitted to get the information in shape for the public than are army officers. A newspaper man can write a story so that the main facts are told and yet no information of the enemy, journalists, knows how to bring news so it will lose its value to the enemy.
KNOW NEWS ROUTES
A meeting of the American Association of Teachers of Journalism was held in Chicago last week and the problem of what newspaper men should be staring at during the session was passed staring that the censorship of war news should be in the hand of the newspaper men working in harmony with the army officers.
Officers should meet with the journalists and explain to them military affairs and the strategy of war plans so they will know what is allowed and not allowed, trained to use all means of communication and are able to beat the army officer on any piece of news, but with a newspaper man at the head of the censorship he would be able to plug holes through which news could leak.
OFFICERS SHOULD AID REPORTERS
The newspaper men of the Allies have done much to preserve good feeling among themselves by explaining things that have been done that were not understood by all members, but in some instances into the confidence of the army heads.
OFFICERS SHOULD AID REPORTERS In former troubles the officers and newspaper men have worked against one another, and, although reporters would not intentionally publish anything of value to the enemy many plans have gotten into the press that should not have been published.
The only effective way to censor the news is to censor the newspaper as it comes from the press instead of censoring the reporters' copy. This is the case that if it is not censored, though it is cumbersome it is effective and prevents the blunders that have so often been made because of friction between reporters and officers.

We do not feel the interest in a result, we have an apathy which does not fit in with the interests of the nation at large, and hence the Easterners claim that we are without patriotism—Daily Texan.

CONKLIN PENS are sold at McCulloch's Drug Store 847 Mass.
The United States government needs mechanics and helpers in the navy yards and arsenals on account of the large increase in construction in all branches of the service. Tool makers, boilers manufacturers, nail-makers, machine operators, boat builders, and blacksmiths are needed.
No educational requirements are made, but the men are rated on their evidence of experience and physical ability. The men will be used at the arsenal at Fortfort, Philadelphia, Watertown, Mass., New York, N.J., and the navy yards at Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, and Norfolk.
Among answers from freshmen taking tactics examinations at Ohio University were the following: When asked to give general orders of a sentinel, a freshman wrote: "In case of war, sound the alarm." Another answered: "Salute all colors and officers," as Wright lightened as "one that you peep thrust"; also, "it is used when the wind blows." One paper closed with an appeal to the officer who graded it to "have a heart."

record. His election as captain of next year's team met with unanimous approval by the student body. Urgency was indicated by Lawrence high school.
Ten basketball players from the squad and the three coaches were at the banquet. Cant, Lawrence Nelson, of this year's five, Captain-elect Rudolf Uhrlaub, and Coaches W. O. Hamilton, Potsy Carsky, and Dutch Uhrlaub, freshman coach, made speeches on the work of the team this year and the prospects for next season.
The players from this year's squad who attended the banquet were: Captain-elect Uhlraub, Captain Nelson, Leon Gibbens, Harold Litchy, Howard Laslett, Ernest Lewis, Adrian Ward, Kevin Kuder, George Woodward, and Ivan Wilson.
Although K. U. did not win the Missouri Valley Conference championship last season, they will be out in the second season, according to Coach Dutch Uhrlaub. Spring basketball practice was started two weeks ago for the first time in the history of the program and indicates have already come out to make the team.
The practices are held every Monday and Wednesday night at seven o'clock and Coach Uhrlub wants every player who is not come on duty for the practices so that he can develop a first class team.

SPORT BEAMS
The gymnasium classes have already started outdoor exercises. Yesterday afternoon the two-thirty sophomore gym class took a workout on the basketball courts south of Robinson Gymnasium, and in a few more days the cross-country hikes will begin.
The next game on the Varsity baseball schedule will be played next Saturday when the Jayhawker squad will go to St. Marys to clash with the St. Marys's nine. The coach is experimenting with a different nine; it is probable a different nine will start the game than the nine that played against the Kansas Normals.
The batting ability of the Haskell Indians was shown in the game yesterday afternoon with Ottawa U., in which Kahodt and Davis smashed the ball out for a home run each, while Stover, the famous football player, drove the ball over the south embankment for three bases.

HASKELL BRAVES TAKE
FIRST GAME FROM OTTAWA
The Haskell Indian baseball nimb
won its opening game yesterday aft-
ternoon on the Haskell diamond from
Ottawa University by a score of 10 to
2. The management brought the game
to the mound so the Ottawa
players could catch a train.
The Indians have some heavy sluggers on their team this year, and massed six scores in the first inning, two in the fourth, and two in the seventh. Kodhot and each made a home run against the strong Haskell Indian fullback, also sluggled the ball over the embankment for a three bagger. Ottawa made their two scores in the second inning.
VARSITY NINE HITS STRIDE
With Shifted Lineup Coach McCarty's Team Wins from Frost by
Score of 5 to 0
The Varsity baseball nine played classy ball yesterday afternoon and romped over Coach Clark's freshman nine in a five inning practice game for
Coach McCarty tried out a new line-up and it worked better than any nine so far. In the new lineup, Schoenfeldt was put on third base and Gibbons was shifted to center field, while Bill Weber, who brought in the first Jayhawker score in the Normal game, hold down the right field position.
Schoenfeld played an excellent game at third, and Gibbens "looked like a star out there" in center field according to Captain George Smee. Bill Weber also held his reputation as a sluggler and pinch-hitter by making two clean hits. Weber worked out better than in any of the previous practices. Doc Marquis also worked well with Poier as a battery combination.
The entire lineup that played together yesterday was: Marquis and Poirier, and Carter and Smee as battles, Chase 1b, Lindsey 2b, Schoenfeld 3b, Pratt ss, Taylor ff, Gibbs cf, and Weber rf. There is lots of competition for places on the team and there may be changes in the lineup that played against the Kansas Normals for the next game.
Potsy used thirteen players in the freshman lineup. The frush players who got into the game were: Davis and Joshua McMachair 2b, Isenberger and Convis 2b, Wilson ss, N. Isenberger 3b, Wenley 5f, Smith cf, Brush and Oyster f
Dr. E. H. Bailey Finds Means of Us
ing $1.24 Corn Instead of $2.12
Wheat in Making Bread
CHEMISTRY HITS HIGH PRICES
Chemistry and cheapness are not associated terms in the mind of the student who pays large-sized laboratory fees in the department of chemistry, but facts prove that one of the main interests of chemistry at present is in reducing the cost of food and supplies by superimining on various foods in an effort to find cheaper substitutes with an equivalent food value.
Dr. E. H. S. Bailey of the department of chemistry has made experiments with breadstuffs and has found that wheat flour mixed with wheat flour is excellent bread. Corn is quoted at $1.24 and wheat at $1.23 a bushel. Unfortunately, further substitution of corn for wheat flour is impossible since the gluten of corn prevents the bread from drying if more than twenty per cent is used.
The Department of Agriculture has published a pamphlet on the subject giving recipes for making this mixed bread. Since this government cook book is free, its use will cut down expenses both by saving the cost of another recipe book and by showing how to prepare cheaper food.
Further experiments on other substitutes for expensive foods are being carried on by chemists throughout the country.

VOLUME XIV
UNIVERSITY MEN ARE WANTED BY CO. M NOW
Captain Jones Says Men Should Take Advantage of Early Enlistment
OPENINGS FOR OFFICERS
Guardsmen To Be Used To Whip Great Volunteer Army Into Shape
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 12, 1917.
"Right now—before the National Guard is called to the colors—is the time to enlist in Company M," declared Captain Jones last night. "Colonel Wilder S. Metcalf informs me the National Guard will be called to service shortly—as soon as Congress acts upon it." The answer comes the company will have no time to waste with recruits; it will have to move.
"Company M needs forty men. We are making strenuous efforts to keep the company closed to all but University men. But in case they do not respond the company will be recruited up to the required strength from the outside. I know of two Kansas towns that have thirty men each ready to enlist whenever we give the word. We hope this will not be necessary."
WHY MEN HOLD BACK
"There are two selfish motives why University men are not enlisting in Company M," said Dr. James Naismith this morning. "They are afraid to lose a few weeks school, and they think they will have a better chance of getting a commission by waiting for the emergency forces. Then some of the men are holding back because they believe there will be no fighting.
"The University has promised the men their school credit, and there is no loyalty in offering this excuse. It only causes a loss of valuable training time. This procedure is about as logistical as any other training, who refuses to train and expects to get in the fight on the day of the game. How any man can expect to get a commission who has not had a long military training himself is hard to understand. Other things being true, you don't get any promotion man who gets the first promotion.
The new recruits announced this morning are: Hobart G. Curl, Leonard F. Stines, Paul A. Bliske, Elgie H. Carpenter, W. Smith, and Robert H. Carpenter.
"Even if the men see no fighting they will have passed one of the most valuable summers of their lives. If they are called upon to do fighting they will be able to perform a notable service to the country and will be a source of pride to the University."
REAL TRAINING FOR GUARD
The National Guard under the present plans will be assembled in the later months in war院校. Here they will receive intensive training for three months. At that time the first big draft of one-half million men will be called, and upon the National Guard, who will be seasoned troops, and the regular army officers, duty of officering those green levis.
Y. M. C. A. TO PLAN BUDGET
Board of Directors Will Consider Proposal to Elect an Assistant to Aid General Secretary
The board of directors of the University Y. M. C. A. will meet this afternoon to discuss plans for the coming year. "The financial budget and the proposition of having an associate secretary to aid the general secretariat are two important things to come before the board," said Dutch Wedell.
The duties of the general secretary have become so numerous that an associate secretary working full time is required in order to take care of the work properly.
Nothing will be known definitely about the resignation of Hugo Wedell as general secretary until the last of next week.
MILITARY DRILL IS PLANNED FOR COLLEGE GYM CLASSES
Gym classes under the direction of Charles B. Harrison, of the department of physical education, are taking some of the rudiments of military drill in the Gym. Marching and squad formation is all that can be given now, according to one of the instructors.
it is planned to have the classes meet on the field soon and to merge several classes in order to have company drill. The department plans the assistance of a military trained man to help drill the boys.
The Forty Club will give an informal dance at F. A. U. Hall Friday night.
KANSAN BOARD ELECTS
HELEN PATTerson EDITOR
For the second time in the history of the Kansan a woman is editor of the Kansan. Helen Patterson, c173 is the young lady who was elected at the regular board meeting last night. The first woman to edit the Kansan was Zetha Hammer, elected last year. Alfred Hill is the retiring editor.
A CALL
Herbert Howland was elected editor to succeed Bob Reed, Darald Hartley was chosen Plain Tales editor and Ruth Gardiner was elected society editor. Don Davis and Mary Ward were elected editors of these offices. The newly elected editors will hold their offices until the end of the school year.
Here is a chance for direct patriotic service by University students.
The Lawrence Red Cross organization, already an efficient unit, plans to increase its effectiveness by the taking of an extensive survey of Lawrence to determine the resources the town can furnish for Red Cross work. The survey will be to find out the persons who can work when needed, who can supply bandages, who can furnish food, and who will plant gardens with the purpose of adding to war-time supplies. These are a few of the things that the survey will determine.
To make the survey, one hundred University students are asked to give a half day's time—probably the morning of Saturday, April 21st.
Prof. J. N. Van der Vries of the committee planning the survey, wants the names of volunteers tomorrow. He will be at his office in Room 112, Administration Building during the day and students are asked to call on him.
The survey requires intelligent investigation, such as University students are equipped to carry on. There is a practical need for the work in the present crisis. In other words a patriotic opportunity is afforded.
How many students—both men and women—will volunteer?

UNIVERSITY PREPARING FOR ALL WAR NEEDS
One Hundred Fifty Men Out for Special Drill Exercise Last Night
TWO COMPANIES FORMED
Regular Army Officer May Come Here to Take Charge of Military Units
The men of the University are mobilizing into large voluntary drill classes. During the last few days, they will begin to work in various departments into efficient units so that they will be of the most use in the present war. The University authorities are removing all objections to the possible enlistment of students.
Last night at the first meeting of the Voluntary Drill Classes, 150 men turned out. Of these 113 definitely enrolled in classes. These men have been divided into two companies, A and B.
Dean Walker of the School of Engineering, chairman of K. U's War Bureau, is trying to secure a regular army officer to take charge of this work. If this plan is successful, it probably will mean that these classes will be able to deal with the War Department. In view of the enthusiasm of the students regarding this work and the large number that turned out last night at the first War Department to put on the proposition up to Governor Capper personally this week.
REGULAR ARMY MAN HERE
Company A will of the Voluntary Drill Classes will hold its first class at four o'clock this afternoon. Everyone interested in this work and not already signed up is asked to turn out. The work is open to the downtown organizations as well as to unenlisted students.
Eight classes will be conducted t the present time:
CLASSES FOR ALL

NEW METROPOLITAN NIGHTS
Entertainment Will Be Furnished by
the Frivolous W. S. G. A. Mem-
bray
Tonight the University puts forward its latest claim to being metropolitan. To be metropolitan there must be follies, so tonight at the K. U. Pollier the W. S. G. A. entertainers for us, for us sing, for us and play in our gardens and to relieve our minds from the gravity of military preparations. Conservation policies will be thrown to the seven winds, and Pierrot and Pierrecthe will rule supreme. In Robinson Gymnasium a complete stage has been fitted out for this production which includes wines, and scenery to orchestra pitches.
First there is a singing and dancing act by the Knot sisters, Slip, Forget-Me, and Bow. French character dances will be performed by Jean and Jeanette while Gold and Dunt supply us with clever blackface songs, live singing, and jigs. The Raven Comedy Quartet will appear in a Barber Shop scene with Kenneth Lott as speechmaker. Darald Hartley has written a sketch for Act V, which promises to be a great success. One popular feature of the program will be the Hula dances and songs accompanied by the real "ukes" in "Down Honoluhon Way." In the last act with the chorus we change in rapid succession, the first song is Persia to baseball games and the last. Naughty, Naughty, Naughty Marie-Antiolette act which closes the program.
Bob Hartley Leaves School
Robert Hartley, c'20, left this noon for Quincy, Illinois where he will enlist with the aviation corps. Last year he took six months' training in the aviation school at San Diego, where he had a leading part in the Follies and to be in French play. He is a nephew of Prof. C. A. Dykstra.

Unsettled conditions resulting from the declaration of war, chiefly the proposed abolishment of the May Fete, at which the managers of the magazine had planned to sell the magazine, were given as the reasons for not publishing the final number of the year.
Darald Hartley, c18, was elected to the society last night. It was also decided to give a smoker for sophomore men at the Sigma Chi house next Wednesday. Forty-five sophomores will be invited.

War credit will be given any University man who does his bit, whether it is in the hospital service, on the firing line, back home in the business, or in the corn-field. Chancellor Frank Strong in a statement to the students of the University explains the action of the University Senate which grants credit to the man who is willing to serve his country.
WAR WILL POSTPONE
JOURNALISM CONCLAVE
Theta Sigma Phi, National Honorary Sorority Meets Here Next Year
The national convention of Theta Sigma Phi, journalism sorority, scheduled for May 2-3-4, at the University of Kansas" has been called off. Untitled conditions due to the war make it a financial impossibility for preparations and delegates, but preparations are being made for a convention in 1918.
A telegram from Mrs. Helen Ross Lantz, of Seattle, Wash., grand president of the sorority was received by Helen Patterson, secretary of the local chapter announcing the impossibility of proceeding with the convention and alogizing for the inconvenience to the chapters of journalism faculty have worked out detailed plans for the program and entertainment of the delegates.
A systematic series of lectures covering every phase of the journalistic field had been planned and where experienced newspaper and magazine writers could give the result of their work well as the members of the sorority.
"It is not only the man who is on the firing line who will receive credit from the University but the man who takes the place of the man who feels it his duty to join the service," said Dr. Strong.
Mrs. Lantz, urged this chapter to continue plans for the convention which will be postponed until 1918. The matter will be taken up at a meeting of Theta Sigma Phi at 4:30 this afternoon in Fresno rest room.
Another matter to be brought before the meeting this afternoon is the part women in journalism and participation will take in the newspaper problems precipitated by the war. It seems probable that much, will be left to the women to do in this field just as in other cases the men are called out for service.
CHEMISTS MEET IN K. C
Faculty Members and Seniors Attending Sessions of National
Organization
Faculty members and seniors of the department of chemistry are attending the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society in Kansas City
Chancellor Strong opened the first day's session yesterday at Hotel Muehlebach with an address of welcome. Dr. Julius Steglitz, president of the society, responded. The program for yesterday had to do with geology of Mid-Continent oil and gas fields.
Dr. Gustav Egloff of Columbia University, now engaged in research work in Kansas, spokes on the manufacture of explosives and how chemists may aid the government in the present crisis.
A smoker was held at Hotel Monarch last night and a banquet Mimosa took.
Profs. A. J. Boyton and W. A. Whitaker of the University were on the panel "Resources Boyton read a paper on The Economics resources of the Kansas City Zone."
The annual trip of the seniors in chemistry has been cancelled this year because of this meeting. All seniors will be missed for the remainder of the week.
Vaughn Goes to Chicago
Peg Vaughn, who received his master's degree in the department of journalism here last year, has joined the staff of the United Press in their Chicago office. Last year he was city clerk of the Salina Journal. His place of work is by Ronald Fagan, also a K. U. journalist. Ray Clapper, a student of journalism here last year is also in the Chicago U. P. office.
The Chancellor resolution as presented and adopted by the Senate
I understand from Captain F. E. Jones that it is likely that the Kansas National Guards will be called out within a few days. The question of the credits of University members of the Guards is unanswered and that directly concerns the schools of the University and has already been acted upon by the School of Engineering it would be wise to have the matter of general policy settled at once and I therefore recommend that it be the sense of the Senate that Uni- nationals be called into Kansas National Guards who may be called out receive their credits for the current semester on the basis of their current work.
FRANK STRONG,
Chancellor
The Chancellor this morning issued his statement in regard to withdrawals from the University for other than military duties;
My understanding of the spirit of the Senate resolution to the effect that University men called to the service of their country in any way whatever should receive credit for the semester on the basis of their current work will possess a University file cases of persons leaving. To take the places of those who enthused, provided such cases are properly certified to the deans and to the registrar.
(Signed)
FRANK STRONG,
Chancellor.
The full meaning of these resolutions is that any student who takes the place in the business world of any man who is enlisted in the Kansas National Guards or in any other branch of service may get full credit from the University, providing his work is passing at the time of withdrawal. Whether the man goes on to study abroad or holds good, if the work is being done,
The faculty of the college of agriculture of the University of Missouri decided unanimously yesterday o allow all students to leave school o work on the farm if they so desire and if they are actually needed their redds will be given to them provided all work is up to standard.
"The man is not needed altogether on the firing line in case of war," said Dean Olin Templin this morning. "We need as many men on the farms o cultivate the crops as we need in his service. And the work of the armers will amount to as much as the work in the service."
Dean Templin has a letter from a banker in Kansas with two sons in the University. He requested that the sons might be allowed to withdraw from the University to go on a farm owned by the banker which is not being cultivated. The banker believed that his son would have a far more efficient manner on the farm than they could by going into service in the Guards or volunteers.
"It it is not necessary that the different schools of the University pass separate resolutions on this resolution as passed by the Senate," said the dean. "The Chancellor in one statement has done away with this."
HIGH SCHOOLS OF KANSAS
WANT UNIVERSITY SPEAKERS
The Extension Division of the University has received requests for high school commencement speakers from forty-seven towns. Last year the department sent out speakers for 110 addresses.
The number of requests at this time is about the same as that of a year ago. The war may have a decided effect, but we can commence these this year and in that case the number of speakers sent out will not be as large.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University, farther than merely printing the news on paper. The faculty values both: to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to encourage students to leave more serious heads to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

Poor Richard Says:
Let not the sun look down and say inglorious here be lies!
AT YOUR SERVICE
One hundred and fifty University men attended the first drill under the auspices of the University war bureau last night. These and probably twice as many will attend the daily drills and military classes organized under the supervision of Dean Walker.
The plan is for the men to devote an hour and a half daily to this military training. The time is from four-thirty o'clock to six o'clock in the afternoon—a time when most University students are free.
The University war bureau training offers an opportunity which University men should feel duty-bound to avail themselves. Those who enlist for military service as privates will be better soldiers because of the training. And the spirit aroused should result in the immediate filling of the ranks of Company M in which instellments still are desired.
NON-APPLIED CHRISTIANITY
Somebody said that he thought Good Friday might be allowed to pass without a dance.
And somebody else said—"What difference would it make? What happened on Good Friday anyway?"
WAR NEWS
Is your conception of world events clear? Or does your newspaper reading mean that your knowledge is general and hazy?
A discussion with several faculty members and students participating brought several frank statements from men who admitted that their knowledge of history in the making included very little specific information.
One man who was present, blamed the condition partially to the manner in which the telegraph press associations present the news.
"These are scare head times and the press associations have been guilty of forfeiting clearness in their dispatches in order to achieve sensationalism," he said.
Or can this hazy knowledge of current affairs be due to the common practice of reading newspaper headlines alone?
ESCAPING K. U.
The senior girls of Baker University are not going to be outdone by the boys in the class, and will carry poole dogs as their mark of distinction. The dogs will have a purple ribbon around their necks and will be carried by the girls to all their classes. This action was taken by the girls after the boys had voted to carry canes.
The above is a "story" from Baldwin, Kansas. Probably Baker Uki-
versity authorities will deny the horrible details. Baker can sympathize with the University. Inhabitants of Mount Oured have been reported as guilt of similar foolishness. Innocence has been no defense. And devout advocates of denominational colleges have sent their children to various small schools to escape the evils of K. U.
THE NEXT STEP
The athletically inclined students of the University are expressing their appreciation for the improvements being made on the tennis courts near McCook Field. Last fall these courts, except the two used by Varsity men, were in bad shape but the clay put on this spring, when properly worked down, will mean a big improvement to the courts.
Now for some regulation aimed at the tennis court "bog."
Is it possible that a person can be found who will subscribe to all the articles of the Audubon Society when a woodpecker is taking a work-out on the tin roof above his head at six o'clock in the morning?

And those young men who so enjoy lounging in a hammock should join the navy.
POOR SON OF RICH MAN
A son of a rich man recently entered Northwestern University. He declined to follow the traditional custom which prescribes a green cap for the Freshman. Twice the upper classmen took him down to Lake Michigan and threw him in, warning him that must wear a jacket for the cold winter. The lake was cold. It would be colder. Wisdom directed a mending of ways, which in this case meant abandoning the right to wear a hat for a whole school year.
(A moral drawn from a recent col- lence incident).
The rule which commanded green caps for the Freshmen may have been silly, but it was a tradition which the student body of Northwestern prized. It leveled the rich and poor to the one green-topped level. It advertized the wearers as meek and lowly, a thing which was good for them.
For a boy to be handicapped with money is bad enough. We see it's evil effects constantly. But to be handicapped with foolish and pompous parents is even worse. A rich man swollen with a sense of self-importance can all too easily make himself the father of a cad.-Toledo Blade.
When next the young student appeared on the campus he had a body guard consisting of his father and an uncle. Sophocles. Soap opera. The rich man grew very angry. He strutted to the office and withdrew his son's name.
The cap tradition for the University of Kansas, similar to the Northwestern tradition, is endangered by the Senate rule abolishing paddling with no substitute method of enforcing cap wearing. We have no Lake Michigan and Potter Lake is rather far. But it can be used.
Wisconsin will not be represented at the Intercollegiate Regatta on the Woughton pleqheege course this year, the Athletic Committee has approved the training on the grounds that the training for the races affected the hearts of the students. -Texam.

CIRCULATION OF PAPER ITS BASIS OF SUCCESS
Leslie Wallace, Kansas Editor
Says There's no Get-Rich-
Quick Way
Quick Way
Sound circulation is the basis upon which the success of the small town newspaper is based, the opinion of Leslie Wallace, editor of the Larned newspaper and the journalist classes this morning on "The Small Town Newsman."
"This circulation is to be gained by the paper on its merits alone, and not with the assistance of some get-rich-quick subscription scheme," said Mr. Wallace, giving concrete examples to carry out his points. He said his experience with the Sunflower Princess test, last year, cured him now and forever of any and all pseudo circulation builders.
The Larned publisher is a Kansas product, beginning his work in the news game as an office boy in the Paola Spirit. Later he went to Kansas City as reporter for the Star. After two and one-half years of reporting, he was made editor of the Sunday Star which position he held for two and one-half years, leaving the office to be a newspaper of his own. The Tiller and Toiler has prospered greatly under the guidance of Mr. Wallace and is looked upon as one of the model weekly papers of Kansas.
At 4:30 Friday afternoon Mr. Wallace speaks in Room 102, Medic, on "City or Country Journalism—Which?" All students in the department of journalism and others interested are invited to come.

It will be effective on its publication in the statute which probably will be the latter part of May. The measure provides:
It shall be unlawful for any person, company or corporation to barter, sell or give away any cigarettes or cigarette papers, or any disguise or subterfuge of these; or of these cigarettes and cigarette papers in or about any store or other place for barter, sale, or distribution.

FRESHMEN ROMPED ON
VARSITY NINE---3 TO 0
Potsy's Team Wakes Up and Shuts Out Veterans With Changed Lineup
Potys's freshmen team showed a complete reversal of form over its playing Tuesday afternoon when it romped on the Varsity nine for a 3 to 0 score in a six inning game yesterday.
This one-sided score was probably due to some extent to a change in the Varsity lineup. Yesterday, Voorhees and Smith started as the battery for second base but out at second base. The rest of the lineup was the same as played together Tuesday afternoon, when Chase played at first, Pratt at short, Schoolfeet at third, Taylor in left center field and Weber in right field.
Pratt led the Varsity in batting with two hits, while Taylor, Weber, and Smith got one each. The freshmen also did some good batting and succeeded in getting one run in the first inning and two more in the fifth, due to Varsity errors. The chief reason for so many Varsity errors was that the men were not used to playing backhanded shots. In Kansas National Guard and has not practiced for a week, and had not worked out at second base before.
Poirier went in, as pitcher in the third imming and fanned several of the freshmen although they succeeded in smashing out a couple of clean hits. The chief feature of the freshmen team was the third-hitter Slaven Shannon played an excellent game in the box and fanned five or six of the Varsity sluggers.
The freshman lineup was: Gregory
c, Slawson p., Bunn 1b, Nate Isen-
berger 2b, Lomborg 3b, and Weson
Yesterday was the first time this sea
son that Potsy has not used more than nine players in the practice games with the Varsity.

The Pan-Hellenic baseball games began yesterday afternoon between the Sig Alphs and Phi Gams, and all sorts of new plays were uncorked. Duc Kennedy found the surest way to reach first was by giving the pitcher two-bits to throw four balls. Duc is still ahead of the game two-bits as one of his brothers offered him four-bits to get on bases.
The next Missouri Valley Conference games will be played between Ames and Missouri, Friday and Saturday, Kansas will not open her Conference season until April 25 and 29 against the Huskers.
Frank Mandeville, from Lindsay's home town of Kingfisher, Oka., who has made a freshman letter on the football and basketball teams, showed his ability to play baseball yesterday afternoon, by playing against him but. If he continues to develop he gives promise of becoming another Lindsay.
Sheoefenfelt, who has been working out at third base on the Varsity nine the last two or three afternoons, is showing ability at fielding the ball and also at batting. If he continues to show up well he will probably get a

BREAKING the crust OF HABIT
Frankly, these words are directed to the fast thinning number of men who have not yet "hit the trail" of conversion to the ready-for-service principle in clothes—who as yet are strangers to its comfort, its satisfaction, its downright economy.
Here's what you can get for say $20 or $25 in Kirschbaum Clothes:
—in *style*, the conception of a designing staff whose talent could not be commanded for less than $25,000.
—in fabrics, a variety ranging from Scotch Hebrides homespuns to the sturdy worsteds of our New England looms.
—in fit, absolute accuracy and comfort, we care not what the outlines of your physical geography may be.
If that sounds promising to some of you men
who are not at present devotees of this store —come in. There is only a thin crust of habit separating us, and once that is broken through, you are ours for life!
On the Choice of Shirts and Scarfs
With a blue suit, wear a shirt of plain blue, plain white or white with a black or blue stripe. The scarf should be black, blue, dark purple, dark red or bottle green.
With a gray suit wear a shirt of plain white with a stripe of harmonizing gray or with a very narrow blue or heliotrope stripe. The cravat should be black, gray of harmonizing shades, blue in the darker shades or dark purple.
With a brown suit, wear a shirt of plain white with very narrow brown buff stripes or white background with blue stripes. A black scarf is too sombre for a brown suit—choose between brown, blue in the darker shades of green, red or purple.

GUARD TO BE MUSTERED OUT AT CLOSE OF WAR
Recent Order Authorizes Enlistment of Guardsmen for Same Time as Conscript.
WILL TRAIN NEW ARMY
150,000 Volunteers Needed to Take Place of Guardsmen Withdrawn for Drill
GUARD NEEDS 150.000 MEN
That all recruits enlisted in the National Guard since the declaration of war and those to be enlisted hereafter will be discharged at the close of the war, is the substance of an order to recruit officers prepared in the War Department yesterday. This, the recruiting officers say, is bound to happen in Company M as it puts all recruits in the status of wartime volunteers.
Provision is made in the bill for the absorption of 206,349 volunteers in the National Guard. As 150,000 men must be withdrawn from the National Guard and the Regular Army within six months to train the first half million conspicuous army, their number has increased that number of additional volunteers.
"Enlistments should roll in now if all the men who have been offering this six-year-enlistment excuse volunteer," said Captain Jones this morning. "We should have fifty recruits tomorrow."
In response to the S. O. S. call sent out for recruits by Captain Jonesyes, he asked that Merle Murphy, and Merle J. Adams sign up application blankes early this morn-

NO SLACKERS AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 13, 1917.
More Than Seventy-Five Men Have Enlisted in Some Company
More than 75 students who are now attending the University are enlisted in some unit of the army in Lawrence. This does not take into account the students who have returned home and enlisted. These companies will be filled up in a few days if the present rate of enlistment keeps up.
Twenty-four men have joined Company M since enlistment was started last week. There still is room for 140 men. The maximum is reached. One hundred men are enlisted in Company H, the downtown company, and the maximum is 150. In the downtown battery company 144 men have reached the maximum of 171 men are enlisted.
The K. U. men who have enlisted in Company H since last week are: Herbert Cox, Ray Farrell, Robert Garrison, Chris Jack Lansing, and Woodward Hite.
ADVOCATES NEW ATHLETICS
The University men in Battery B are: F. R. Allen, Edward Bradstreet, Fred Butcher, James Reinhart, L. L Lind, Usher Fink, Harold M. Jones, Harry Martin, Gordon McKee, Richard B. Randall, Rulodph Schirk, Russell Thomasson, Elmer Trock, and Don Woodau.
Naismith Believes Intramural Training Would Develop Students More
"Now is the time for the introduction of intramural athletics," said Dr. James Naisimith, physical director, this morning. "If such a system had been in practice we would not be here now." Teams of men with undeveloped chests and of under weight. Our present emphasis on intercollegiate and competitive athletics should give way to the establishment of intramural athletics and training so as to develop every aspect of it for a possible service for his country."
It is entirely possible that spring athletics will be given up for some such system and because so many of the athletes are enlisting in the army. Practically every school east of the Mississippi has given up athletics. Missouri has lost Simpson, and several other stars, who are ranging from the food production of the country. The University of Kansas has lost but few athletes so far, but most of them are contemplating enlistment.
Kenneth Bell, Soph Hop manager,
stated late this afternoon that he regrets the unfortunate wording of the bills that were distributed on the campus this morning. The only purpose, he stated, in scattering the bills was to let the student body know that the Hop would be given April 20.
SKILTON'S INDIAN DANCES PLAYED HERE APRIL
The Minnesota Symphony Orchestra in its concert next week will interpret Prof. Charles Skilton's Indian Dances, which have received credible recognition in musical circles throughout the country. This orchestra was the first to play these two compositions and because of this success, Emil Oberhoffer, the director, has played them on several tours.
These two Indian Dances were composed on the native melodies furnished Professor Skilton by R. R. DePoe, chief of the Rogue River Indians in Oregon. The War Dance, which is the second of the two, is a striking number because of the emotional climax.
MERMAIDS TRAIN FOR MEET
Women Athletes Begin Practice for
Eight-Event Interclass Swim
The swimming pool has been opened for swimming after having been closed a month for repairs and a coat of paint. The women will have use of the equipment. They were also at four-thirty o'clock on other days of the week.
The women athletes of the University are practicing for the big inter class swimming meet which will be held about the first of May, according to Coach Hazel Pratt of the department of physical education. The meet has not been decided. It will be announced the first of next week.
Miss Pratt is especially anxious that all the women athletes who intend to compete for class honors in the meet should report to her as soon as possible. A great many women already have reported for practice and the meet promises to be the biggest that has been held here.
Mermails from all four classes will compete in the meet and a large plaque will be given the winner. There will be eight events: Side stroke, 50 feet; back stroke, 100 feet; 100-foot dash; diving, compulsory; diving, fancy; plunge for distance; and the 'elay.
RENCH PLAY DATE CHANGE
"Le Voyage de m. Merrichon" is to be Presented by students in De-
"Le Voyage de M. Perrierson," the play to have been given by the student department of French, April 14, has been postponed until Saturday, April 21. Two of the men who were to carry the leading parts in the play have been summoned to National Guard duty, so time must be taken to rehearse other men in those roles.
Except for the disappointment in having to give up these men who were line-perfect, the play is in every other respect ready to be present. "Le comedian is a French comedy of the George M. Cohen type. There is plenty of action and no dragging scenes. Whether one understands French or not, the play can be performed at the theatre, the primesmie and action of the actors have worked out.
SIG ALPH'S WIN FIRST GAME
Phi Gams Lose Opening Content or
Pan Hellenic Schedule to a
The first-game of the Pan-Hellenic baseball schedule was played Wednesday afternoon on Hamilton Field between the Sigma Alpha Epsilon and the Phi Gamma Delta fraternities, the Sig Alga winning by a score of 7 to 10, with an agreement only a five-ming one due to an agreement between the two fraternities.
"Chimes of Normandy" at Salina Mrs. H. L. Butler left Wednesday evening for Salina where she will coach "The Chimes of Normandy" for the Spring Festival given by the high school. She will go from Salina to Marysville Monday where she will coach the cast for the high school senior play. In June, Mrs. Butler will coach the cast for the senior play put on at Ottawa by the Ottawa University in June.
The features of the game were two home runs made by Gear Stodder and Lawrence Gray. Frank Mandeville, the halftake on the freshman team from Kingfisher, Oklahoma, and Sidney Noel also connected for two hits in the second game, six hits off North Wright, while the Phi Gams made but one.
The Phi Gams errors were very costly and was due to a great extent to the large score of Sig Alpha. They made a total of seven as against two by their opponents. The Sig Alpha's in the scoring are by mkking their runs. In the second innning they ran in two more while the Phi Gams also run in their only score. The Sig Alpha made another score in the third, and two more in the fifth.
STUDENT VOLUNTEERS SERIOUS IN TRAINING
Earnest Conformity to Discip line Marks Opening of Drill by K. U. Men
Preparing for war.
Preparing for war.
This is the business of 200 University men from four-thirty to six o'clock each afternoon at Marvin Hall.
A visit proves how seriously the men taking advantage of the University War Bureau, regard the instructions. Ordinary class-room attention was required by the volunteers to the volunteer students at the drills and various military classes.
Thursday afternoon, when Company A started drilling, Dean Walker, who was giving instructions, noticed that several men were chewing gum. Dean Walker requested that this be discontinued hereafter.
Instruction started only Wednesday night. From the start, however, the students have taken a military atti-
tude of strict conformity to discipline.
Such a request in a class room would have been followed by laughter. When Dean Walker spoke, this was not the case. The men chewing gum stopped, and there was no disturbance. The gum chewing incident was important in showing the attitude of the volunteers.
A drill regulations class which meets at 5:30 o'clock was held until a minute after 6 o'clock—after supper-time for the eighty men present. Only one man left. A class held until 12:21 at noon—several minutes before dinner time, is considered an excuse for shuffling the ball. But there were no such tendencies when the drill regulations class was held over time.
Many of the men who have drilled "find it difficult to stand at" "Attention." There is a rigidity required and there was no thought of complaint.
Many of the men enrolled in the University War Bureau classes do not expect to become officers as a result of the training.
"This work will make me a better private teacher, the reason one youth for taking part in it."
Persons doubling the earnestness of the Middle West in regard to the present war situation should see the efforts of the members of the University War Bureau.
SOPH HOP HASN'T BEEN CALLED OFF—BELI
Manager Says Class Party Next Friday Will be Better Than Ever
The ticket sale for the party will begin Monday at the Fraser Hall bar. The students and men also will have receipts. Any student in the University may attend.
Kenneth Bell, manager of the Sophomore Hop, announced this morning that the big annual party will be given next Friday night, contrary to the rules. It will be a week saying that the party had been given up. Manager Bell denies any knowledge of their origin. He also announces that none of the elaborate plans will be omitted. The original will be carried out to the fullest extent.
Haley, well known to every K. U. student as an orchestra leader, is looking forward impatiently to the event. "All of my men are anxious to play with you," Manager Bell yesterday, "and were making up an extremely novel program." Patriotic preparedness numbers, including an adaptation of an old Indian war dance tune, are to be included among the orchestral numbers.
Y. M. Directors meet April 18
the directors of the meetings of the University for Thursday has been postponed for
April 18. The date was changed from
Thursday, the regular meeting day,
to Wednesday of the same week
because of the concert of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra.
The Soph Hop this year is to be, first and last, a dance. There will be no cabaret singers, no big reception, and no unnecessary trimming. Haley's orchestra of twelve pieces will be played on Friday night until 2 a.m. Saturday. With the exception of the three-course supper which will be served, there will be nothing to but dance. "Which is a great scheme," says Manager Bell, "considering there will be three songs, a marimba band in the orchestra."
Y. M. Directors Meet April 18
Decorations will be in Japanese style, with a low ceiling strung with Japanese lanters. "Skin" Greater and Frank Hetherington, caterers at Junior Prams and Soph Hops for the last three years, will serve the supper.
SIMPLICITY WILL MARK END OF SCHOOL YEAR
University Senate Favors Avoidance of Expense in All Social
Events of College Life
General simplicity and limitation in all society events was advocated by members of the Chancellor's cabinet at its meeting yesterday afternoon. Commencement will be held as usual, but plainness and the avoidance of all expensive features will be the program for this year's graduation.
The idea of the cabinet at its meeting yesterday was for the students of the University to consider seriously what they are going to do about all society events. The question of holding the Sophomore Hop this year may be taken up by the Senate next week.
The cabinet advised that the May Fete be changed so as to be as much in the spirit of the time as possible. The program would have been carried out at the entertainment of the K. U. Follies last night if the program had not been arranged so long in advance that it would be feasible to disarrange the whole event.
The senior class brought up the matter of holding an informal gathering the Monday of Commencement Week and the cabinet raised no objection. The question will be acted on favorably by the Commencement Committee.
Y. W. WILL GIVE FETE MAY 1 AS SCHEDULED
Senior Women Elect Grace Beck ley May Queen and Evelyn Strong, Alma Mater
K. U. will have the traditional May Fete and the traditional May Queen and Alma Mater May 1, on McCook Field, according to an announcement by the Board of Directors of the Y. W. C. A. today.
Grace Beckley was elected May Queen, and Evelyn Strong was elected Alma Mater at a meeting of the senior women last week. The result of the election remained a secret for a week; as is the custom practiced.
There was some agitation last week to omit the May Fete this year because of the war. In as much as all plans had been made, many rehearsals held and some expense incurred it was long best to continue the original plans.
"With the exception of funds from the May Fete that the Y. W, gives alternately with the W. S. G. A. each year, the budget necessary for ex-ployees and staff, for pledges," said Anne Gittens, Y. W, secretary this morning. "It is the only time that the Y. W, comes before the public in two years and since we apportioned our budget this year with the Y. W, we feel we do not feel that we can give it up."
A historical pageant will be the program of the traditional May Fete, each department in the University being represented. Two May-pole exhibits will be the Alma Mater will be other features. There will be no night program.
Part of the proceeds will be given to Red Cross work and the Christian work carried on by the Y. M. C. A. on the war front.

Picture Machine Will Show Novel Sections of Jayhawker at Dance Tonight
Advance ideas of the Jayhawker will be available to the students attending the Vanity Fair dance at the Gymnasium tonight. The managers will be showing the machine and will show a portion of the color section of the Jayhawker. The winners of the Vanity Fair contest will be announced to students the first time tonight and their pictures will be shown on the screen. Also the winners of the marine views of the University will be shown. The submarine views are said to contain pictures of some of the co-eds, a la Annette Klererman.
BEE FARM OF THIRTY-SIX
HIVES BUILT SOUTH OF GYM
An apiary has been built south of the Gymnasium. The bee yard contains thirty-six hives and a small building 14x24 feet, which will be used for pollinating and serve as a general workforce for those who are studying bee culture.
A new course in the study of bees will be installed by the department of entomology and will be under the direction of Prof. Hunter, the head of the department.

Collegiate Alumnae presented this play last Tuesday night cum summa laude. And now the K. U. Dramatic club announces that Whereas: The K. U. D. C. had intentions on the play; the A. C. A. ever heard of it, and, Whereas: The people are crying aloud and yearning to see it again, and Whereas: Harold Lytle, leading man and director of the play, has sent off for a large supply of the same brand at the A. C. A. used; therefore be it

ASKS K. U. TO HELP FRENCH WAR ORPHANS
Miss Elizabeth Fell Returned From French Relief Asks Funds
NEED ONLY SMALL SUMS
Ten Cents a Day Will Keep a French Baby Twenty-Four Hours
Contributions to the French Orphan Fund will be received by Registrar George O. Foster, of the University, and Mrs. Robert C. Morrow, 1416 Kurtley street. You may contribute any amount. Ten cents supports a French orphan for a year, or $30.50 for a year. Payment may be made each week, each month, or for the entire year. Help save France.
At the regular monthly convoction this morning Miss Elizabeth Fell plead for relief from American people for the poor fatherless children in France. Miss Fell, who has just come to work with the organizers of the movement in the United States and has been active in the actual relief work in Paris.
"The Fatherless Children of France," an American society for the aid of French war orphans was organized in October, 1915, in thirty-six if the most important cities of the world have been working for sixteen months o raise funds to support the orphans if the war in France.
CAN GET "OWN" CHILD
“There are 500,000 children in France on ten cents a day,” said Miss Fell “and as all of you know So far about fifty of them have been aided but only a beginning has been made. The society asks for an additional ten cents for each child in order to guard against the danger if privation and insure a minimum of

SOUVENIR EDITION OF PRIZE SENIOR PLAY
The $50 prize play, "If I Were Dean," written by Alton Gumbiner, which will be presented April 25 at the Bowersock Theatre by the Senior Class, went to the printer today, and a complete souvenir edition of the play with the names and photographs of the original cast will be printed. Copies will be sold at the Bowersock the night of the play.
This will be the first time in recent years that such a K. U. production has been printed with all lines and stage directions.
"Practice for the play has been progressing very satisfactorily," said Professor MacMurray, director, "and the students of the University will have a chance to see live students, wide-awake and moss-back professors in action. The play is full of fine situations and laughable lines, but best of all it pictures faithfully student life at K. U."
The scene of the play is found to be at Bigosh University at Malaria Center, Utah, and there is a naughty rally by university officials in derbies by a disciplinary committee.
There is a student view of how things ought to be run, and there is a picture of student management. There is a dean of women, a board of education, and more than one typical professor that everybody will recognize.
LAWS MAKE FRESHMEN
PLUCK LITTLE DANELIONS
force the freshman cap rule this morning, and many unsuspecting freshmen who had discarded the little cap since the Senate's action abolishing paddling will appear on the lawn as a reminder of the fate or suffer the fate of those caught this morning, according to the Laws. A healthy crop of dandelions has sprung up in front of Green Hall and the laws don't like their looks; so when the bold first year men without caps are allowed to play, the laws decided to see if some of the litle yellow flowers could not be removed and, inasmuch as it is against the principles, the poor little freshmen had to do the manual labor while the

TWENTY-FIVE MORE NEEDED
ANOTHER REASON
Twenty-five men are needed to fill the ranks of Company M, the University company of the Kansas National Guard. Other companies are filled. The University should not fall behind.
The tragedy of France—this was the story told by Miss Fell to University students this morning.
The Prussian lust for power that brought about the last chapter of this tragedy is the power at which the United States strikes in entering the great war.
THE ONE SOLUTION
The war declaration by this country is more than the mere upholding of American rights.
This does not alter the real situation.
The Kansan has spent some energy this week criticizing the action of the University Senate in abolishing padding without offering a substitute as a means of enforcing the cap tradition.
The Kansan can criticize until Potter Lake floods Fraser Hall and padding still will be abolished and the Senate is not likely to offer a substitute.
Unofficially, the information comes that the Senate, after abolishing paddling, believes that the enforcement of the cap tradition is a matter for the students to work out.
A member of the University Senate disciplinary committee which recommended that paddling be abolished, has offered the suggestion that the Men's Student Council take up the problem this spring, so that next fall the freshmen will wear their caps as usual. This faculty member believes in all seriousness that Student Council influence will be strong enough to secure the co-operation of the freshmen class in the enforcing of the cap tradition.
A number of faculty members have stated that while they voted to abolish paddling, they favor the wearing of distinctive caps by the yearlings.
Leaving aside the question as to whether the University Senate was fair in abolishing paddling without offering any substitute, it seems that there is only one way out.
That is for the Student Council to tackle the job of saving the cap tradition.
Grit your teeth and go to it boys.
PRACTICAL POLITICS
The University student political system is condemned.
"Student organizations are a failure."
"Holders of the most important stu
dent offices are not the most capable of the students."
"A few individual students in secret encaucates dictate student politics."
The Kansan has received a suggestion as to a remedy.
These are frequent charges.
Let the University department of political science, including faculty and students, take up the University "student political system" as a problem. Critical study may bring about practical improvements.
Verily the University student government can stand improvement as much as sundry state legislatures, courts and United States semes.
A WAR QUESTION
The Kanan today reprints an editorial from the Los Angeles Times, urging that no Americans be sent to fight in Europe. The editorial is similar to many that are appearing in American newspapers, although the majority of the metropolitan publications side with Colonel Roosevelt in urging that we furnish men also in the fight against Germany. The difference of opinion presents a real problem for the government to meet. Our guess is that before many months there will be American troops in European trenches.
HILLTOP PHILOSOPHY
Naturally the botany experts will be a little anxious until the new shrubbery shows signs of life.
When frush, upperclassmen and faculty members all march as common soldiers they will have an opinion to right many a wrong impression.
O what is so rare among college students as a man who wants to be merely a private in the army.
Of course it is a little strange that the 1600 men who only last week were considered incompetent to settle a little matter like paddling are now the ones being looked to to aid in up-ending the honor of the United States.
Any man who talks about the weather when he has known a girl long enough to discover that she prefers candy and picture books, a rear shelf and a weather cock substituted. It is not so hard on the parlor furniture.
Higher education counts for something after all—more than 100 applications have been made by K. Umen formensions in the army.

OUR SOLDIERS NEEDED AT HOME
There are many good reasons why American troops should not now, if ever, be sent to Europe to fight Germany. We are by no means adequately prepared to defend our own soil in the event of any one of many possible emergencies; and we cannot send sufficient troops abroad to be of any practical value without entirely depleting our defenses. The armies of Europe are numbered by the million. We send one a mere corporal's guard among the myrmidons that swarm in the tranches of France. So there will be a call to send another division — and another and another.
Public sentiment is opposed to sending troops abroad. "America first" is the country's slogan. And if troops are sent, it will bring dissension and dissatisfaction among our own citizens. It will imply a military imposition and create unseeably bickering among prominent Americans; there will be parties pro and con. The country now is unanimously and resolutely determined to stand by the flag, but only a minority wish to have that flag carried to Europe by troops. Let us have no quarrel on this issue! Foreign oppression, even when we have been forced into them with better cause than we now have for offering troops to the Allies. We can aid the Allies with money, munitions, food and the aid of the navy on the high seas—factors of war that are more needed at present than men, women, children, and soldiers from the United States places in jeopardy the vast commercial resources upon which the Allies are depending and without which they cannot win—Los Angeles Times.
CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent
During my four years as a student here on Mt. Oread I have noticed that a large portion of the faculty members rely to a great extent, and, in some cases, almost wholly, on examinations as a test of the student's scholarship. The various courses in this department are enriched in their case that nearly all the accusations of dishonesty in examinations, of unfairness in grading, of low scholarship, and incapacity after graduation for a chosen profession, each of which have at times been made against certain students. For example, our alumni, have their root in this recitation, the predominance of examination grades over daily grades.
[Editor Daily Kansan;
Cases are not rare of where an "all-1" student in some subject, because of inability to study for the final examination, fails to pass the exam. In such cases, a particular disinterestedness for the same subject, "crams" for the final examination and makes a passing grade. Which of these two is deserving of the higher mark in the course? Yet the instructor is aware of the relative merits of his two pupils, under what might be called "moral obligations" to pass the second student and "condition" the first. Thus, the system in use of grading is unjust to this student and unfair to the instructor.
A SOCIAL ERROR
The results of examinations depend very largely upon the amount of preparation made on the night before the test. Some students in our UWIT subjects must be given a fact) can study a text book in certain subjects until the "wee scm" hours" of the morning and, without having had any previous introduction to the particular subject, pass with a fair grade any examination that might be given, because we occurred a few years ago, where one of our own students took a "final" in German III after an all-night session spent over the reader. Before the quiz this young man was so well enough aware of his poor performance, he received the assistance of a tutor. The results of his "cramming" were surprising. The instructor said that he passed a much more creditable examination than her best scholars could do. In fact, his showing was so exceptionally good that his suspicion was on him. On a few minutes after this young man turned in his paper, a certain sentence from the German reader which he had just translated perfectly was pointed out to him and he was asked to re-translate it. Try as hard as he would, beginning of this excerpt. Other cases similar to this one can be recited by many of our University students.
Thus, written examinations do not give a fair indication of the student's ability, and are more profitable to the unworthy student than to the worthy one. I fact, they are usually promote stenology in daily work. With plenty of other things on their hands, what do many students care about their next day's lesson when they realize that the examinations are largely the determining factor for college admissions, pro and con, continually arising concerning the adoption of the honor system, it should be borne in mind that the more important the examinations become in the student's final reckoning, the more tempting the test from somewhere outside of his or her own head. After a consideration of these faults, the conclusion must be reached that scholarship receives too much credit from examinations. Otherwise, she is the "flunker"'s salvation, and the deserving student would not receive a "set-back" if he or she acked a few points of passing a quiz.
He (after a collision)—Hurt you?
She-No.
He (absentmindedly)—I am sorry
-Yale Record.
I am fully convinced that a change in the existing conditions of the relative merits of the daily recitation and the examination (particularly the final) will tend to be further blurred between the student and his instructor; second, relieve those embarrassing moments when the instructor tries to judge the relative importance of a student's excellent recitations and his low examination grades; third, decrease any undeniable interest in fourth, reduce the hardships which not a few of the most worthy students unjustly experience because of poor quiz grades; and fifth, raise the scholarship of the University by making the everyday work of the student more important than a month or two, or proof of work preceded by examinations, which means a better general knowledge of the subject and one which will stay by him longer.

THE DRAMATIC CRITIC REPORTS THE FOLLIES
He Goes Early and Gets a Good Seat Down in the Front
Row
APPROVES ALL THE ACTS
Is Especially Pleased With the Chorus in the Last Number
The Dramatic Critic sat between an engineer and a Sorority Girl and joined in their comments on the events of September 2013, ideas did not always coincide, but what is vaudievale for if not to please all classes and tastes. The conversation drifted along in a desutitory touch, touching on reasons I drei-
Engineer: Everyone must be afraid he will lose his seat if he comes on time; here it's half an hour and we can best seats in the house are taken.
Girl: I know that there will be more than 2,000 people here.
Critic: Yes, the present indications point to a good house tonight, and I am glad the students appreciate the girls. The girls have put in on this program.
Engineer: Well, I wish they would hurry up and give us a chance to appreciate the acts. Here comes Shofal's stal's Orchestra. Hope they will play some lovely music during the intermissions.
Girl: I've danced to their music lots of times and—
Engineer: Keep still! Here go the lights for the first act. For the love of Mike, who are those that Jewel had that djewelry such singing. That was a pretty good song, but Samantha, Malinda, and Clarina kinda got their names mixed when they sang about the pockets in them. But then—they were from Eudora.
Critic: I think you have reference to the French pantomime Pierrot and Robert, but not to the movie Dear John.
Girl: I know those three; they are Erik Jackson, Helen Cohen, and Nell DeHart. Now, that dance of Helen Clark's and Earl Metcalf reminds me of something I saw in Vanity Fair, but I can't remember it.
Pierretter, and this is a good rendition. Engineer: Who is that engineer that Ain't Got Nobody" to? He sure is getting red. His eyes are better than mine are, for I can't recognize her.

Girl: Oh, aren't those costumes dear? And the light make me feel just as if I were in Hawaii. I think Lucile Elmore is the cutest cinder, don't you. She looks just like a little Hawaiian girl.
Critic: Yes, that was certainly a clever act, but I like this coon stuff that's coming. Phil Hayes has had professional training and knows every song that has ever come out. He is the most beautiful singer in the way and new songs in the old way.
Girl: I've been waiting for this last act for the girls have told me how swell it will be. Jane Parmeter is so graceful in her dancing. I wish she had a phone to call Ellison's voice sweet and clear? Oh, here comes Dora Lockett in her specialty act. Doesn't she make the quintest and most charming Chin Chim? Why don't you say something? Why? I think it is the best thing yet.
Critic: Yes, and I do too. The chorus is what I've been watching. They are beautifully gowned and are trained to professional standards. All three scenes are exceptionally good, but the steps and costumes of the first are the daintest. One would think that Marie Buchanan and Antoinette Clark were raised on the stage—the dance with such grace and abandon. Almost always worn in uniform is well balanced and acted and suits all classes and tastes, which after all, is the purpose of vanilley.

NAVY WANTS STUDENTS FOR MEDICAL CORPS
Chances Unusual for Hospital Training in First Line of
Defense
There is a big opportunity for men who have had any hospital work to enlist in the hospital corps of the United States Navy. Since the navy is the first line of defense the greatest part of the first work will fall upon this corps, and advancement is assured those who join early.
The training which a man receives in this branch of the service will enable him to continue it after he returns to civil life. The navy conducts a special training school in charge of medical officers. The course in this school is free although the man learns a trade, receives pay while he is at the school, and his board and all other expenses are paid.
In a special appeal received at the University today the hospital corps of the navy asked for graduates of the University of Kansas as desirable candidates for the work of the corps. In addition, students taking their courses at K. U. the letter calls attention to the fact that these students may enlist in the Naval Defense

Urgent Need of Food Starts Campaign for National Prohibition During War
A huge campaign for national prohibition was launched today and data is being gathered from every state in the Union by the War Council at Washington on the advisability of having a dry nation during the war. Telegraphs were sent to members of the U.S. Army and the War Council and the answer these members send back undoubtedly will be strongly in favor of prohibition.
Almost at the same instance members of the faculty started a petition appealing to the President and to Congress for legislation prohibiting the consumption of food products in the manufacture of intoxicating liquors. It is being signed rapidly by students as well as faculty members.
The campaign for national prohibition is being pushed by the board of temperance of the prohibition society at Washington. Some of their circulations call attention to the fact that the breweries could be used for munition factories or in the manufacture of explosives, and that many of the transs were tracked nineteen years ago in the Spanish-American war to let beer trains pass.
The conservation of food products in a great war is an obvious necessity European countries have realized. Various forms of prohibition have been adopted by many of the warring nations. The Teutonic allies have fought for more than twenty All the grain used in making beer and other intoxicating liquors would be saved for food if prohibition is established in this country.
SPORT BEAMS
Potys's freshman players are furnishing the Varsity nine stiff competition. In a five inning practice game yesterday afternoon, they rumped on the Varsity nine for a 3 to 2 score.
The Varsity nine consisted of all the regular players with the exception of Fenton Baker in the box and Schoenefelt at third base. Schoenefelt has been showing up well and will probably be used at third in the game at St. Marys tomorrow afternoon. The Varsity lineup as it stands
at present is Carter, Poirier, Craig,
and Mmee; p, Chase, Ib; Lindsey, B2;
Bschoenfel, ib; Prntt, sa; Smee, If;
Steele, Steele; Bacock, Icock,
and Weber or Taylor, rf.
The freshmen played a tight gamalthough the lineup was changed from that which played against the Varsity Wednesday. The lineup yesterday was: Davis, c; Schoepel and Duxed Weld, p; Machaher, 1b; N insenberger, 2b; Lonborg, 3b; Wenzel, cs; Caler, If; Smith, cf; Gregory, rf.
It may have been a coincidence, but the two runs scored against the freshmen were made while Dutch was in the box.
Although the freshmen romped on the Varsity the last two practice games, it does not mean the Jayhawkers are getting poorer or will have a weak team. The adverse scores may be accounted for by the fact that the new Varsity lineup is not used to playing together and the freshmen are playing a first-class brand of ball.
A larger squand of Varsity players was out yesterday than for several days. Red Craig, Lindsey, Arbuthnot, and Kirkson were out but been out for about a week because of the third-quarter examinations in the School of Law. Lindsey missed twice as he was in Topaka looking up possession in the engineering company in
A new pitching plate was added to the improvements on the McCook diamond yesterday. The mound also was put in first-class shape.
The Jayhawker track men held their regular practice yesterday in preparation for the Drake relay meet, and the runners made good time on the heavy track. Capt. Fred Rodkey said he believed Kansas would make an exceptionally good showing in the meet.
The Jayhawker women athletes have started active practice for the interclass swimming meet which will be held about the first of May. Coach Hazel Pratt said the women would have the use of the pool on Mondays and Thursdays and also at four-thirty o'clock on the other days.
The tennis courts are being put into better condition. The "Too Wet to Play On" sign is up put yesterday, and the court will be dry in no condition as soon as they dry off.

FILLS RANKS OF CO. M.
WITH COFFEYVILLE MEN
Outside Recruits Will Come to K. U. When Company is Called
K. U. MEN RESPOND SLOWLY
Capt. Jones Has Orders to Recruit Company to 100, Maximum Peace Strength
Following the failure of University men to make an adequate response to the call by Company M for men, recruiting officers do not feel that they can now refuse admittance to University men. In consequence of this decision, sixteen men of Coffeyville were enlisted in Company M last week.
Sergeant Grinstead, who was detailed for recruiting duty in Coffeyville, returned with the enlistment papers this morning. As soon as Company M is called the Coffeyville recruits will come to the University to take physical examination and join the company.
SIXTEEN COFFEYVILLE MEN ENLIST
"These recruits are a fine group of men, and we are glad to get them," said Sergeant Grinstein this morning. "They are high school graduates or are in high school. Coffeyville is the home of Sam Carpenter, an old Company M man, and he is influential in the enlistment."
The men enlisted are Wayne I. Gill, Barney Bucher, Clyde E. Rice, Walter T. Carpenter, Ray N. Hasey, Alfred C. Brunner, Otis A. Kelly, C.H. Carrington, Walter W. Burkhal, H.C. Knechel, Otis M. Miller, Ian C. Kinechele, Arthur M. Miller, Richard E. Kiddoo, and Robert P. Jones.
SLOW ENLISTMENT of K. U. MEN Only five University men have enlisted in Company M since Friday noon, giving the company a strength of 140. The company is iam H. Griffith, Byron McGinnis, Leon W. Lundiblade, Frances Martling and Frank B. Elmore. Captain Jones has orders to recruit the company up to maximum peace strength of nine more National Guard companies. The 100 mark have received orders to bring their strength to 150 men.
Company M lost four or five candidates because of rigid physical examination. Short weight and poor posture can cause causes for failure to meet requirements.
The "rookies" are enthusiastic for the company. As soon as a recruit has passed physical examination he is given his choice of the khaki suits stacked in the trophy room of the gymnasium.
Y. M. TO ENTER WAR WORK
All Religious Work in Army Life Will Be Turned Over to American Christian Associations
The Y. M. C. A. national program is to be carried out through redoubled energy on account of the war. The reason for this is to prepare college men for less spectacular but just as essential work in the religious field.
It is understood that the War Department plans on turning over all the religious activities of the soldiers to the Y. M. C. A. This means that the Associations must continue their regularly outlined program so as to be thoroughly prepared for the coming task.
"We are still planning to send 100 men to Estes Park this summer," said Dutch Wedell, this morning. "We have 20 men now of which some belong to Company M and the down town military organizations. I think that the trend of events will add to the number of men that will go, because of the demand for leadership i Y. M. C. A. work."
The Association is planning on a big drive to secure the men. So as to be sure to touch all the University activities and organizations, a banquet will be given in Myers Hall the last of this week to the deans of the various schools, interested faculty men, directors of the Y. M. C. A., Pan-Hellenic council, the ministers of Lawrence, the student pastors, and all other men who are planning on going to the park this summer.
BOTANISTS TO EXPERIMENT
WITH DRY WEATHER PLANTS
Two and one-half acres of ground south of the Engineering Building has been plowed and will be used for botanical experiments. Among plants to be experimented with are chick peas, a new drouth-resistant vegetable, recently received from the Agricultural department at Washington. Doctor Mix, plant pathologist will plant a variety of berry bushes and apple trees to study disease resistance and winter killing.

SIMPLICITY WILL MARK
SOPHOMORE HOP FARCE
Red Cross Will Receive All Procedures of Party Above
Expenses
In accordance with the University's policy of simplicity in regard to all treaties, certain changes have been made to the Sophomore Hop Friday night.
Likewise the programs, lunch, and decorations will be simplified. This add to the amount to be given to the loss in the expenses of all above the expense of the party.
The party this year is to be strictly informal. It is to be a dance from start to end. Manager Bell has urged students by mail to submit student and faculty members, to place a taboo on cabs and flowers. The men have always been willing to do away with these things and now are asking them not to attend and taking a stand against them.
Haley and his twelve-piece orchestra will furnish the music as originally planned. He will feature the narimba band and the preparedness two-step besides other patriotic numbers. Tickets go on sale this afternoon at Fraser check stand which will open each afternoon this week.
ATHLETICS SHOULD REMAIN?
Foster and Hamilton Oppose Breaking of Athletic Schedules
"I believe," said Registrar Foster, "this is the time when everybody should keep his head and I believe the students of the University are able to handle any undue excitement. There has been some talk among the different schools throughout the country of canceling athletic schedules, but I am opposed to any such measure. I beware that things should not be abolished at K. U.
"Athletics are retained at West Point the same as in peace times, and this army training school should set up a high school of universities of the United States."
Many larger schools are retaining their athletic schedules although they have lost many of their players to the team. Penn Relay games and the Drake Relay games this month will be held as they were last year. Coach W. O. Hamilton, when asked his opinion, should the larger athletic sports should be retained here."
Captain F. E. Jones, of Company M is also strongly in favor of having athletics retained at K. U. The matter of retaining athletics will mainly be acted upon by the University Sonate at its meeting Tuesday.
ENGINEERS WILL DISCARD PARADE AS TOO EXPENSI
The Enginers decided to discard their historic parade for this year in a mass meeting at Marvin Hall this week. The group will pay expense and the press of other works.
H. A. Rice, professor of civil engineering in the School of Engineering, has been appointed one of the commissioners on the newly organized Kansas Water Commission, which has an act of the last legislature. The only board is T. J. Stockler, engineer of the Public Utilities board of the state.
The other events of the eventful day will be run as last year—the banquet the night before, the baseball games in the morning, the track meet in the afternoon, and the annual shine. The third game is pinned on the winners instead of medals on account of the high cost of war.
PARADE AS TOO EXPENSIVE
The new commission will have power to regulate and propose legislation dealing with all water control, flood restriction, drainage, and water supply. Governor Capper is an ex-officio member of the commission. Professor Rice's appointment is for two years. He will continue his work in the University.

FACULTY INVESTIGATES FERTILITY OF MT. OREAD
Will Report What Parts Can be Used for Growing Foodstuffs
CRISIS IS AT HAND NOW
"Do Not Waste; Save and Conserve" Is State-Wide Slovan
Slogan
"Turn the campus into a cornfield; grow potatoes on the hillsides." Such have been the slogans on the Hill since Governor Capper told an agricultural meeting in St. Louis of the need for a better army of growing enough food to supply the army without distributing too violently national economic conditions.
Out in the western part of the state the farmers are utilizing the soil more intensively than ever before out of their fields all that is possible.
A committee of University specialists is at work now going over the campus and nearby tracts to select appropriate grounds for the growing of crops using University students as farmers. F. E. Kester of the department of physics is chairman of this committee.
"I fail to see where a great amount of food can be grown on the campus," said a University man today. "But the bottoms might be used. However it is true that the food crisis which the United States is facing is more serious than most of us realize. It is time for the people to come to the countries. They must find that the foodstuffs absorbed are not in the country. We have been shipping vast amount of food to Europe combined with the failure of the last two years makes the problem look unusually serious.
Since the announcement from the chancellor last week that men whether they enlist to fight or enlist to farm may get their credits from the college, students are being offered from school to take up farm work. In Western Kansas towns clubs have been organized among the high school students to engage in intensive work, and are being offered for the best work done by the grade school pupils in Dodge City.
OFFERS FACULTY SERVICES
And that is the manner in which Kansas University students may do their hit for the United States. To shoulder the way and to shoulder the hoe is the result. They are recalling the present motto: "Do not waste; save and conserve."
Nation Will Need Scientific Men to Aid in Conservation and
Engineering
Jayhawker Staff Announces Results of Vanity Fair Contest at Dance Friday Night
The University of Kansas is ready to serve the nation by giving the services of its best instructors in the production and conservation of foodstuffs. Chancellor Frank Strong in a message to Governor Capper pointed out that if the war continued, the question of the control of industrial plant diseases will be more essential than that the scientists of the University were ready to do all they could in furthering this work.
Thela Wharton, c'17, wom first place in the Vanity Fair contest as announced Friday night at the Vanity Fair event with Jayhawke managers. Margaret McElhiem, c'17, won second place. The others in the order of their standing are: Leta Ellison, c'20, Helen Cook, c'20, Ethel Scott, c'21, Clora Riggs, c'20, Milred, c'21, Charger, c'18, Marguerite Reinisch, c'20, Ruth Wheeler, c'19, and Hallie Clark, c'17
There were thirty girls entered in the Vanity Fair contest and the ten highest are given full page pictures to submit. The contest is held each year by the Jenkins board to choose the girls most representative of Kansas beauty.
Chancellor Strong said in part: "The question of food control and distribution involves also great economic and engineering problems. The war will involve questions in entomology, biology and ecology. In all of these lines we have slightly untendent scientific men who are at the disposal of the state and nation."
"I greatly fear, as do many others, that if the war continues many years, the state may have to call on its salaried men at the universities and colleges unmuch for teaching as for these unequal demands made by war conditions."
NAME TEN K. U. BEAUTIES
The Y, W, C. A. State Conference will be held in Lawrence April 20, 21, and 22. This conference is for college Association workers and student volunteers.

Plain Tales from the Hill
They were talking about miracles—He—Why there are lots of miracles happening every day right under our noses—
She—Yes, but think how long it took for your miracle to grow.
Mr. William Hozellenhocker had better tie his goat a little closer to home. Three K. U. football players have joined the engineering company, now being formed at Topeka. They are engineers from Corsica and Rube. And they have intentions of the Kaiser's goat. (Berlin papers please copy).

Ferdinand Stuewe had a date. A keen date too. And Ferdie intended to make a hit, if the slang will be pardoned. So when ye horologe chimed 7:45, he rushed madly into a friend's room, made a frantic grab for the hair tonic bottle and poured a generous amount of—(guess what)—gasoline over his pompadour. And his keen date wondered very, very much.

Oscar Brownlee can't dance very well. In fact somebody laughed at his dancing last week and the best thing he can do is to quit. At least so was in the interpretation of the spiritual message that came to Madame Sheppard in the spiritualist meeting last night as she held Oscar's hand and connected herself with the spirits on the side. You wonder did it better be her voice? Oscar is contemplating a special privacy with this wonderful medium who can catch the gossip as it comes through the air. If he does and slips her enough cloth she will no doubt reveal who she was that laughed.

Lawrence, Kans.
Topeka, Kans., April 14.
F. W. Blackmar,
Louisiana, K.
Up until time of going to press this afternoon no answer to this telegram had been received. The committee recognizes it is fighting in the dark until instructions come from the War Department as to what definite methods to pursue in being the most efficient aid to the government in the present. Before widening the scope of the work now under way in specialrill and short courses the University will await the orders of the government.
Prof. Frank W. Blackmar, dean of the Graduate School, has accepted a position on the state council of defense appointed by Governor Capper. Pro- Blackmar today wired his acceptance in response to the following telegraph;

Governor."
The state council of defense is a new board appointed by the governor to consider the action of our state in the present war crisis. The problem of agricultural preparedness will be taken up first and then any other problems in connection with Kansas' part in the war. The membership of the council comprise some of the best known men and women in the state.
Professor Blackmar said this morning that he earnestly desired suggestions from the War Committee of the University, or any other persons connected with the University, that might show how the University can co-operate with this state committee for the best interests of the country.
Dean Blackman will go to Topena

Home Economics Department Starts Class in Army Cooking for Men Tonight
WILL INSTRUCT ARMY COOKS
There are cooks and cooks. Some cooks have all modern conveniences to use; other cooks cook for the army. Soldier Cooks" was the subject of *tata* before the Home Economic Club Thursday by Dr. James Nail smith.
In his talk Dr. Naismith suggested that the Home Economics department organize a cooking class for soldier instruction. The department will teach cooking with the material and equipment of army orders. The first class will be held tonight at 7'clock in the basement of Fraser Hall.
"The cook is an enlisted man but receives double pay for his work," said Doctor Naismith this morning. "We want men who can cook good pancakes and biscuits, fry bacon to the other foods of the army in the best manner. This instruction class will furnish good practice for any man wishing to take the cooking position in doing his bit."
Listen boys, Antoinette Clark has announced her intention of joining the Red Cross ranks in case of actual war. She said she was "plenty of room for all in the army."

Tudler was held. They decided that he should be advisable for the present junior pilot asap senior work in June it will be posited graduate in February instead of next spring. There are 116 in the school and many of them are needed by the army and navy as graduate doctors.
Dean P. F. Walker was in Topeka Saturday trying to get an experienced army officer to help with the training at the University. Governor Capper forwarded the request to the war department.
"I do not expect we will get a man," Dean Walker said this morning, "because these men are provided only for military work. A military requirement is required, or where, as at Yale, credit is given for military work. The only way we can get an officer to join us."

Engineers Will Enforce Tradition by Dipping Yearlings in Potter's Lake—Students Favor Plan
Capless freshmen at the Engineering Building are due for a cool dip in Potter's Lake. This is the best method that upperclassmen in that school have for the discipline of the yearling engineers. They can't use the paddle now and the lake is so handy to the engineers.
Adrian Lindsey says: "That is the best idea we have had so far, and I am in favor of it. And I might add that I am the best 'dipper' you ever saw."
E. H. Schoenfeldt, e'18, and other engineers expressed themselves in favor of the new plan.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the university rather than merely print the news in a way that is more universally holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to leave more serious wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
MONDAY, APRIL. 16, 1917
WAR AND RESPONSIBILITY
Poor Richard Says:
Handle your tools without mittens the cat in gloves catches no mice.
The action of University organizations in doing away with spring festivities because of the war is to be commended. It is not that giving up one party or festivity would be of any consequence but the principle of economy in time of war is praiseworthy.
People of the nation do not yet realize that we are at war—in what appears to be the most stupendous conflict of the country's history. The resources and food supply are to be tested and each person must feel a sense of personal responsibility and "do his bit" at home if he cannot go to the front.
Curtailing of certain University affairs will do more than anything else to make students get this attitude of responsibility. Trivial traditions and customs of a few years standing are not to be considered in the face of such a national crisis.
WORK OF THE RED CROSS
One of the greatest benefits to be deprived from the first aid course which is being given to the girls of the University by Doctor Child, is the manner in which the interest in Red Cross work will be spread over the state by the girls who go to their homes at the close of school. Many people are eager to do their share in case of war, but have no idea what to do.
When the course of ten lesions is completed, every girl who is enrolled will have a complete knowledge of the preparation of field supplies. In the small towns throughout the state some one is needed to talk up his work, and a great deal can be accomplished if only the movement is started. In this manner it is hoped great results will be derived from the course that is being given.
The women will merely be graduates of a first aid course, and not Red Cross nurses, because two years of practical experience is required before one can be drafted as a Red Cross nurse.
PRESERVE THE TRADITION
Violators of the freshman cap rule are already starting to appear on the campus although it is but a week since the University Senate said "No" on the paddling question. With fear of the paddle removed certain freshmen are taking advantage of the absence of punishment and are ignoring one of the most cherished of K. U. traditions.
No substitute for the paddle was suggested by the Senate and the students, subservient to the higher power, can merely await developments or seek to preserve the tradition by arbitration.
This year's freshmen will soon be sophomores and for the remainder of
the school year they can do a great service to their alma mater by wearing caps with the utmost diligence. It is possible to create such an atmosphere in regard to the cap tradition that no one would dare to break the rule. Such an atmosphere exists in other big universities and freshmen who do not wear the prescribed caps are socially ostracized by their fellow classmen.
The freshman, more than any other class can bring about such a means of enforcing the tradition.
HILLTOP PHILOSOPHY
Some students take about as much interest in their studies as the average husband does in his mother-in-law.
In picturing the 1917 K. U. Follies why not add the straw vote of the students on the paddling question.
Some students believe they can
practice semester's work; others
enlist now.
Strength may win the football games and speed track meets but what does it take to win beauty contests?
Heads of some people remind us of a silver dollar—one bone.
Is there a prof with soul so dead who not unto himself hath said, "Can I win the $5.00 prize in the College Spirit contest?"
Roll Bodie says he wonders why they don't have a hair-cut week.
When Seniors Were Freshmen
Items From the Daily Kansan Files

Fred Rodkey, of the freshman track squad, broke the University half mile record Wednesday when he completed the circuit in two and two-fifths seconds. Coach Moose kept time on the sprinter.

As a result of the denial of Judge C. A. Smart of a new trial in the fraternity tax case, the county will carry the case to the supreme court.
Three freshmen in the College aspire to a place on the Council and there is a ruling that only one may serve. The plan of eliminating some of them will be decided in the next few days.
Four proposals for memorials were made by the seniors. Some wanted to get a new pulpit for the chapel in Fraser. Others thought it would be a good stunt to plant some trees along the side of the church. The Phi house. The sentiment of the girls present seemed to be for a bench or which only seniors could sit.
Director J. C. McCannis is in favor of steps or any other convenient plan.
HOW-DO-YOU-DO?
Shud or should not the instructor or professor speak to his students when he mets them on the street? Some will say that he should; some will say that he should not; and still others will say that he should but cannot.
The University has professors and instructors who try to speak to their students, even at the risk of speaking to a stranger now and then. The university also has faculty members who plow down the street with their heads in the air, seeing nothing, hearing nothing, and saluting nobody.
Often it is that the student fails to consider the difficulty which confronts the instructor when he attempts to speak to all of his students. He reasons that the instructor by ignoring him is holding himself aloof from the student body. This is one of the things which contributes to the failure of students to have toward their teachers. It is one of the things which makes some students draw a distinction between people and professors.
For the professor who has two or three hundred students in his classes daily, the task of singling out his students from the remainder of the class is to recognize one, and in many cases it is next thing to impossible. But for the instructor who has three or four classes with from twenty to thirty in each, the tawan believes, it is his duty to recognize students outside the classroom.
Granting that the task of speaking to all your students, Mr. Faculty Member, is no light one, we still maintain that there is too much light in the room by professors. If you will put yourself to the trouble of noticing your students on the street, we believe your efforts will be richly rewarded with a more intimate and personal touch with them. —The Daily Iowa.

Why military training at K. U.? Because it solves the problem of the freshman cap. Instead of a small cap which is inadequate protection against elements, a whole uniform would be weaker than the cap and more completely than with the cap.

Because before the present war is over it is certain that some sort of compulsory universal military training will be in force. If this is so it is likely that students of military schools in which regular army officers are instructors, will be credited for such service and the actual service greatly shortened. Thus, a military training will prove a means of attracting students to our school.
Edith—"Haven't you and Jack been engaged long enough to get married?"
Because it affords a means of practical instruction in the handling of men. The one great objection against the majority of college men is that they are lacking in capability for handling weapons and women would act as officers and noncommissioned officers and would have a chance to demonstrate their supposed superiority over the freshman. Further, these men would be fitted into the arms of commissioned officers of the national army and of the universal service units.
CAMPUS OPINION
Because every man would receive instruction in neatness, sanitation, punctuality, obedience to the proper authority, respect for the flag and what it represents, and in military history. Military training would develop the men physically and men- tically required in every man the sturdy qualities which fathers had and which seem to be disappearing in the present generations.
The plan to be followed would be training for every freshman three or more hours a week during the whole school year to take the place of the present "gym" work. During the sophomore year the men who so desired and could qualify would act as corporals, sergeants, and lieutenants. Summer camp could be held in conjunction with the regular army forces.

MEDICS URGED TO STAY IN SCHOOL FOR DEGREES
Country Needs Physicians More Than Hospital Attendants, Thinks Faculty
Plans for keeping the students of the School of Medicine in school until graduation are under consideration. The Medical faculty of the University.
A notice signed by Mervin T. Sudler, associate dean of the School of Medicine, urging medical students to continue their school work, was received by Doctor Sundwall this morning. The notice was sent at the request of Councillor for National Debt. Until then the fourth reached students are urged not to enlist in the line, or in sanitary organizations.
"The request is in exact accordance with our plans," Doctor Sundwall said. "We are taking steps to carry out such a move at our next meeting. The number of men in the medical department is due to the cause of the high requirements and the large number of other professions opening. We are apt to find the United States in the same condition as England when she entered the war—with a serious shortage of physiotherapists." The Medicine will do all it can to keep the students in school until they graduate."
IMPROVEMENTS ARE MADE IN GELOGY LIBRARY
The improvements consist of two double rows and a single row of steel bookshelves and a steel map case made especially to contain sheets of the United States Geological Survey. An extra study table has also been added, making it possible for more persons to use the library at one time.
Along with the things of the outdoor world the geology library has put on a fresh appearance. The former disarray of torn maps and ragged bulletins has been superseded by an orderly arrangement in new book-shelves and a new map case. The clothes was made during the Easter vacation.

PLOT TO DESTROY KAW RIVER BRIDGE FOILED?
The Tailor
The war jingoes of Lawrence had their first thrill last night when the watchman for the new concrete bridge across the Kaw discovered an "infernal machine" securely hidden under the bridge. Yesterday at night-fall, a suspicious-appearing individual was observed cautiously descending the south approach of the new $200.00 building. Douglas county recently completed, and suddenly disappearing in the dark shadows beneath the bridge.
What Semed to be German War Plot Proves Nothing More Than Experiment
The watchman, who has been guarding the bridge since the outbreak of hostilities, was right on the spot when he came to the scene. Sure he was unobserved and then returned to the place he had seen the prowler. Just beneath the argh he discovered a mysterious looking objection box that was running up inside the concrete.
No one knew just what the machine was, and when a student in the School of Engineering happened in, picked up the little cylinder and tossed it up in the air, the sherrif and deputies muee a mud rush for the door and, after that, he called back to the engineer to inform him he was playing with a bomb.
The watchman cut the wires and hurriedly called the sheriff. The sheriff and his deputies quickly answered the call and an investigation revealed a small round object about the size of a cigar in the hole where the wires ran up into the concrete. The cigar like cylinder resembled a thermometer, but the sheriff decided not to touch it because the mechanism was taken to the county jail where it could be examined by experts on explosives.
The engineer then proceeded to explain, but a year's work on an experiment has been lost and possibly a credit to a senior engineer. Last year he was asked to experiment to determine the variation of temperature on the inner concrete of the arch support. While the bridge was being constructed he placed a thermometer in the interior of the arch. This was recorded by recorder by means of the copper wires which the night watchman had been so sure were the connections which

JAYHAWKERS CAPTURE GAME FROM ST. MARYS
Making Four Hits and Playing Errorless Ball K. U. Defeats Catholies, 6 to 2
The Jayhawk nine won its second straight game of the season against the St. Marys nine at St. Marys Saturday afternoon by the score of 6 to 2.
The game was well played. Kansas had the edge on St. Marys and did not make an error while the opponents made several costly ones. Kansas opened the scoring at the beginning of the game, but the total of three before being stopped. St. Marys came back strong in their turn at bat and made two runs.
Kansas made a total of four hits while St. Marys made a total of five. St. Marys' errors probably cost them the game. Poierir made the longest Jayhawker hit by smashing out a three bagger. Chase made two singles and Pratt connected for the other hit of the game.
Neither team scored in the fifth innings but the Jayhawks succeeded in getting two runs in the fifth and sixth inning. The Rangers did not score after the fourth innings;
The Kansas lineup was changed from that which played against the Kansas Normals and Schoenfeldt was put up for a tie-filler. Bill Weber, the Jawhaker pinch hitter that brought in the first Kansas score in the Normal game, played right field the entire game. The rest of the nine which started the game — C., Poisker p. Chase 1b., Lindsay 2b, Pratt 1s, and Cantain Smee, IF.
In the last half of the sixth inning Poirier's arm became sore and Coach McCarty sent Captain Smee in to pitch and put Taylor in left feld. Smith also replaced Carter at the end of the seventh inning, for Lindsey at second base in the seventh inning. This lineup held St. Marys to two hits and no runs.

The Jayhawker baseball nine does not have a game scheduled this week, but Manager Hamilton is trying to schedule a game for the last of the week with some strong team. He has won 10 games from them. Captain Smee said the Jayhawkers are eager to take on some good team.
Potsy's freshmen met their Waterloo, Saturday afternoon when they clashed with the All-Star nine composed of Ernst Uhrlaub pitcher, Lefty Sproull first base, Potsy Clark second base, Dutch Uhrlaub third base, Dutch Wadell short stop, and Daniels, Wilson and Rush, from the freshman squad. The All-Stars won by a 7 to 0 score in a regular nine inning. The freshmen claim that Monty, who was up nine points, beat them while the All-Stars claimed they got the "rottenest" decisions. The umpire holds that his poor decisions as assessed against each team, tended to balance each other.
The one great need of the hash house teams at present is a rapid pencil-pushing clerk to take down the errors of the various players. For this purpose, the team has one score keeper had the time (and extra paper) to take down the errors.
Another urgent need of the hash house league is an umbrella who can give satisfactory decisions for both sides. The only qualifications of an aspirant to the position is that he must have sufficient life insurance for any person who is dependent upon him.
It has been calculated that if all the gas was compressed that was given off in condensation of the umps' decisions in the games on Hamilton and McCook Fields, Saturday, that it would be sufficient to sweep the Hindenburg line off the face of the earth.
Lindsey says he is "again the Germans." He says that once upon a time a German did him a "dirty trick" and then he was again "again the Germans ever since."

THERE'S LITTLE DEMAND FOR GERMAN TEACHERS
"The demand for German teachers in Kansas high schools is small this year," W. H. Johnson, head of the bureau for playing players said this morning. "It may be a coincidence but at least it is a suggestive fact."
"War is causing much uncertainty among teachers," Professor Johnson continued. "Many teachers are members of the National Guard and if they want to be involved, probably be filled by women. Latin and domestic science teachers are in demand; in fact, teaching positions are numerous but there are few calls for superintendents. The scarcity of teachers is a major factor toward teaching Spanish in high schools makes it easy to find positions for those prepared to teach.
EIGHT TEAMS PLAY IN HASH HOUSE LEAGUE

SIXTEEN PLAY BASKETBALI
Ernest Uhrlaub is the Only Candidate the Squad Loses by Enlistment in the Army
The Varsity basketball candidates will hold their regular spring practice tonight at seven o'clock. Coach Dutch Urblaub said he wanted all of his players to be in the son's quintet and are not playing in some other sport to be at the practice.
Ernest Uhlrhin is the only player who has enlisted in the navy, and is now training for the troops. Although his loss will be greatly felt by the quintet next season there are several other strong candidates that will take his place if he is not back at sea.
Sixteen candidates have come out for spring practice, and Dutch said he expected several more to come out for war situation did not become acute.
The coach is trying out a different style of play than has been used here before, and he is anxious that all candidates come out to learn it.

Spring football practice will begin sometime next week according to Coach Herman Olcott, who is just recovering from a lingering attack of throat. The coach has not been able to move for four or five days as the throat infection resulted in a severe case of rheumatism. He is getting along fine now, however, and expects to be able to take charge of the spring football practice next week.

The Jayhawker football team this year will lose some valuable men if the war is not over so that the football players who have enlisted cannot come back for the football season. Up until now, they have earned best halfbuck on the Jayhawker team, and Pete Reedy, a K man on the team in 1915, have enlisted.
The prospectors for a winning team still looks good, however, as thirteen K men from last year's squad with twenty two letter men from the freshmen square in school yet and will probably all come out to make the team. If the war continues, however, a great many, if not all of the players will go to the trenches or on the farms.

STUNTS WITH A TADPOL
When the tadpole is about 6.5 mm long, it is put under a microscope and its thyroid glands are removed. In about 20 or 30 minutes the wound is completely healed and the tadpole is none the worse for its operation. The tadpole continues to grow and in about 40 minutes turns into a creamy silver color which it retains. Although the tadpole reaches the length of one and a half inches it keeps its original characteristics and does not turn into a frog.
RELAY TEAMS HAVE TRYOUTS
Coach Hamilton Will Take Both Mile and Two-Mile Distance Squads to Drake Relay Games
Fast early-season time was a feature of the tryouts Saturday for the two-mile relay team which will be taken to the Drake relay games April 21. Murphy won first place in 2:04:14, Welsh finishing second, followed by the Knox team inland. Rodkey and Sproul ran their trainers afternoon. Rodkey, O'Leary, Murphy, Sproul, and possibly Welsh will be taken to run in this event Saturday.
Men will be selected this afternoon for the mile relay team for the Drake meet. O'Leary, Welsh, Sproull, Rodkey, and Crowley appear to be the most promising candidates at the present.
Because of the large number already entered, no more entries will be taken for the two-mile and mile relay races at the Drake games after the K. U. entries are received, according to word Coach Hamilton received this week from Iowa. There are few teams entered in the four-mile relay, and the management of the games and the team enter a team in this event. The mile and two mile teams are the only K. U. entries, however.
The time made Saturday was good considering the bad condition of the track and for early in the season. O'Leary will make the trip to the Drake meet unless he is called out for duty in the engineering company at Topeka. O'Leary enlisted in the newly formed company last week.

SHOWS GOOD RESULTS
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 17, 1917
Eleven Apply for Enlistment But Three Fail in Physical Examination
MEN ARE EAGER TO GO
The enthusiasm among the new recruits speak well for the success of the company. One of the men who got through the physical examination by Dr. Naimish gave an exhibition of the latest thing in war dances. As soon as Doctor Naismith has completed the examination each candidate invariably makes a run for his new uniform. There are also all the men who may enlist. The "rookies" are eager to get into their first uniformed drill tonight.
Doctor Naismith Thinks Most Defects Can be Corrected Easily by Training
The long awaited spurt in recruiting for Company M came yesterday afternoon. Eleven University men made application for enlistment, but three of the men were unable to pass the physical examination. This brings the number of volunteers and re-enlistments since recruiting began up to 53, and the strength of the company up to 94.
YESTERDAY A GOOD DAY
"This has been the most satisfactory day's work since when M has been recruited, and Captain Jones last night. "As soon as we bring the company up to the peace strength of 100 men, I expect orders to recruit up to the full war strength of 150. All the men both new and old will report for drill in Robinson gymnasium Tuesday night."
The men who signed the enlistment papers yesterday are; Forrest C. Olson, Seth J. Owens, Archibald B. (Continued on page 1)

WANT FIFTY STUDENTS FOR RED CROSS SURVEY
To Find Out Just How Lawrence Could be of Help to Government During War
Fifty students are still needed to assist in the survey to be carried on by the Red Cross Society in Lawrence, next Saturday. Any man or woman who can spare Saturday morning for this work is urged to see or call Prof. J. N. Van der Vries at the mathematics office.
"This is a method of service that any student can do," said Mr. Van der Vries this morning. "President Wilcox urged the American people not only to join the army and give their money, but also to give their time and services to the nation. This is an excelent opportunity for every man to do his hit!"
The plan of the survey is to visit every house in Lawrence and have blanks, that are now being printed, filled out. These blanks are designed to find out how many children or grown people can be counted on to aid in relief work in case of necessity in working at the Red Cross headquarters, sewing at home, gardening, or in other work. The amount of land that can be utilized in gardens will also be found out.
Prot. M. C. Elmer, of the sociology department, who is experienced in conducting social surveys, will manage the survey. "Great interest has been shown in Lawrence for the Red Cross work," said Van der Vrieze, a person more than 1000 Lawrence people members of the Red Cross. The faculty has not been completely canvassed, but so far they are joining as a unit."

CREDIT TO BE GIVEN FOR
ACTUAL FARM WORK
ACTUAL FARM WOR
"Credits will be given," said Mrs. Easterly, secretary to the dean of the college, "to those students who are leaving school for the purpose of helping on the farm, but he must have valid excuses. If it should happen that students are found to be cheating themselves and the institution their credits for the semester's work will be immediately withdrawn."
OFFER OF CREDITS FOR WORK ATTRACTS MANY
Dean's Office Center of Inquiries Regarding Recognition of Farm Labor
Many students are making inquiries today at the office of Olin Templim, dean of the College, about obtaining full credit for this term's work if they return to work in business or on the farm, because of the necessity of raising more food or doing more work formerly done by members of some military organization called out for duty. They should contact Registrar's office for their credits, as they intend to withdraw for work on the farm.
Chancellor Frank Strong further explained his announcement yesterday about getting full credit if they "do their bit." He said all students would get the credit on a branch of the military forces of the country would be allowed to withdraw with full credit and no examination at any time they are called out. The same applies to students who fill leave, access by the departure of guard members.
Students who go to work on the farm or go to fill other business positions will be treated leniently, and will probably be given full credit the same as soldiers, as soon as the matter is taken up by the University of Florida, by that end. The only reason that such action is necessary is to do away with students getting credit with no bona fide excuse,

After studying in Kansas City, Chicago, and New York, Miss Kaiser learned that Manager Walter Anderson was in a position for a former of "Messiah," she said her application, and secured her services for the future, with the result that in four years she had worked her way to the top rank of concert singers, and today is one of the most popular in the profession.
Many students are taking advantage of the University's new ruling in regard to credits for enlistment or for going back to work on the farm. A majority of those withdrawing say they have enlisted or are planning on enlisting. The next highest number are those who are planing to join the Army and are still undertaking withdrawals are those who are taking the course in Military Training offered at the Engineering Building.

Plain Tales from the Hill
Two K. U, girls met today and the following reaction occurred;
"Whose colors you wearing,dearie?" "Why, honey, those are the red, yellow," he said.
"Let's see, is that local or national?"
Sgt. James R. Grinstead tells of one man's trials and tribulations at enlistment. This young Apollo was progressing splendidly in the physical examination. But he was excited and had to think twice before he could remember his name and address. He realized that his hair was blue and his eyes a wavy brown, but he couldn't remember how tall he was. When he looked into his eyes, ah—let's see. I'm about eight. Oh no! Let's see now. Nellie was three feet six. I know now. I'm six feet three."
He measured up five feet eight.
Prof. W. A. Griffith calmly announced yesterday that he had received a letter from Berlin. His drawing class began to have visions of international relations and the possibility that, at last, a spy had been found. Then reason and light began to filter through when it was recalled that Brooks Berlin had forsaken K. U. accusers and PI Kappa Alpha festivities and a company at Topeka. He wrote a letter, you see, from his home in Sedan to Professor Griffith. That's how it happened.
actress, but as a stage hand she has much to learn. It seems the Dramatic Club is going to haul off and please the public with "The Man Who Married Wednesday night at eight bells is the strategic moment for the presentation of the play, it was decided to have a dress rehearsal. It may not be generally known, but the theatre in Green Hall was a curtain. Nobody knows how it will behave when it is being yanked out let down. And the big life-what's not bottom to help old man gravity get in his work. Well, Miss McDonald had come off the stage just before the end of an act. No one else was near to the curtain anchor, so she loosened the moorings and let it drop. One of the actors nearly lost a perfectly good dress rehearsal and suffered a bump on her nerves. And all this was done for the sake of art.
Ever since war was declared, Zell Fletcher and Alfred S. Bennett had been gnawing their chains and fretting feverishly to tweak the kaiser's nose. They couldn't study. They did not learn. They were the local recruiting officers for data on the army and navy. The thing that kept them puzzled was this: Would the navy be safer than the army, and could they be mustered out at the end of the war? And then to cap the climax, a chem quiz came along looking mean and nasty. That meant they would have to be navy. And then they hid themselves thither to Kansas City to tend to the little details of enlisting.
Rodolphe O. Hoffman, instructor in French, has reasons for being loyal to Belgium. He was born there and his relatives (most of them) are in Belgium. He had seen so much interest displayed in the United States for the suffering Belgians, and since he wiped out a few scores with Germany on account of Belgium's persecution, Mr. Hoffman thought he would hang out a small Belgian flag under his "Old Glory." And then some of the Lawrence natives saw it and began to pounce. They went out loud to load the bombs, which destroyed the law. He was an enemy! (Business of shining up badges of authority and doing a gum-shoe volplane after a German spay.) But when Mr. Hoffman convinced them that Belgium was not in Germany and that he was not a friend the police said that he had no desire to be Hindu. These trusty武士 dared peace retreated. One can't be too careful, however, can one?
Ten men desiring positions as city and town managers have filed applications with Homer Talbot, secretary of the Municipal Reference Bureau.
J. M. Challis, '94, of Atchison, will give the alumni address Tuesday of commencement week. His son, John G., a member of this year's senior class.
UNIVERSITY TO GROW
VEGETABLES ON CAMPUS
Cultivation Committee Recommends Planting Four Acres of Corn and Beans
K. U. TO HELP CONSERVE
Seeding Golf Links Impractical as Ground Would Wash
To show the citizens of Kansas what can be done in the matter of intensive farming and to prove that the University is willing to do its bit in the present food crisis four acres in the northwest corner of the campus, which has recently been under cultivation will be planted again. Wax beans and sweet corn will be planted on this site in October after considering the possible plates on the campus and land adjacent to the campus decided this.
The committee also recommended that land which at present is well sodded should not be put under cultivation until conditions warrant it. The reasons for this as outlined by the committee are that sod is slow in forming and it would take not less than three years for the soil to grow in soils rich in organic matter on freshly plowed soil; and the only possible place for cultivation, the golf links, would be likely to wash badly if the sod were removed.
AUDITOR GIVES PERMISSION
Chancellor Strong has gained permission from the state auditor to proceed with the plans. John M. Shea, president of the construction buildings will have charge of the breaking and planting. Beans will be planted in a week or two and corn (Continued on page 3)
TODAY MAY MARK END OF ATHLETICS AT K. U.
Level Minded Men Striving to Prevent Abolishment of Major Sports
The question of abolishing athletics in the university will be considered at the meeting of the University Senate this afternoon and it seems quite probable that doing away with all athletics will be voted on. Many of the members of the Senate appear to be in favor of doing away from it but it is possible that some of the more serious minded men who have not lost their heads over the war situation will vote for retaining sports. Capt. F. E. Jones, of Company M, Coach W. O. Hamilton, Potsy Clark, and Registrar G. O. Foster are in favor of keeping athletics in the University, now. West Point has not abolished athletics and only a few of the larger extremely eastern schools have abolished sports. The fact that the army has retained athletics, the academy and the K. K. show that the other colleges and universities should keep up the physical condition of the men now more than at any other time.
Members of the faculty say that this is the time for the students of the schools of the country to keep their heads more than at any other time. They say that to do away with sports in the country, they need to mean more men who will not be able to enlist on account of the physical requirements.
NO EFFECT ON NEXT YEAR
War Will Not Cut Down Enrollment
In the Fall, Says Chancellor
Strong
The University authorities are not worried over the effects of the present war situation on the enrollment next fall as has been rumored about the hill and town for several days. Chancellor Strong said this morning, "There is no reason to be uneasy. The University will probably remain about as it is even if the war goes on through the summer."
"I do not look for an increase in the enrollment as there has been for the last fifteen years and there may be a slight decrease but we should plan on the University running along in its present normal condition."
In accordance with the custom pre-prep years, students who have tickets to the orchestra concert Thursday afternoon may be excused from classes in order that they may attend the concert. Students desiring to do this should arrange with their instructors beforehand.
Frank Strong, Chancellor.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the university than merely print the news or display it by briefly describing its priorities; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous to leave more serious wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university's students at the University.
TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 1917.
ENLIST IN COMPANY M
Poor Richard Says:
One today is worth two tomorrows.
INSPITE IN COMMISSION
In spite of the vigorous campaign, enlistment in Company M is negligible. The University company which was among the first to fill its ranks during the Spanish-American war, is falling behind its great tradition.
By enlisting sixteen men from outside of the University the company now has its maximum peace strength, but it must have fifty more men before the company is called out. Where is the spirit of the college men of '98, or even of '61? Is all our manhood being buried in the graves of the Civil war veterans, or does every University man want a commission?
The volunteer system is unjust, inefficient and a failure but that does not excuse the miserable showing made by the University men in failing to enlist.
CLAP-TRAP PATRIOTISM
Company M should be filled up to war strength before it is called out.
And now comes rumors that a certain class of students are taking advantage of the "war-ceredit" rule recently passed by the University Senate; and that many withdrawals are being received at the Dean's office from students who probably will do little more than loaf in the village drug store once they go home, instead of doing the work they pretend to the University authorities they will do.
Perhaps the Senate was too completely carried away with patriotic enthusiasm when it passed the rule. Certainly, it did not force that there would be students among us who would deliberately take advantage of their generosity to withdraw from school on the most flimsy pretenses of going to work. That there are such students here seems to be evidenced by the amount of talk about "dropping out of work and getting full credit."
As the Kansan sees it, each student who leaves school with full "war credit" for the semester should be held to a strict accounting for his activity after he reaches home. Perhaps, even, each case ought to be carefully considered before the student leaves Lawrence.
But if certain students are discovered to be taking advantage of the ruling to be withdrawing without the intention of really working they should be dealt with summarily. Dismiss them from the University at once, if necessary, and deprive them of their credit for the semester.
The University of Kansas is no place for clap-trap patriotism.
CLOSING THE DOORS
At nearly every convoitation and lecture many students are compelled
to stand in the aisles or sit upon a hymn book on the floor while the townpeople occupy the seats.
If a student does not have a 3:30 class perhaps he can get up on the Hill in time to get a seat which some club woman did not take because it was undesirable. But if he is so unfortunate as to have a class the hour before the lecture he will have to stand the entire hour or else go home.
This isn't fair to those for whose benefit the lectures are planned. Why is it that those in authority do not close the doors to the townspeople until after the whistle has blown and the students have had an opportunity to get seats.
HE'S WEARING IT NOW
Once there was a freshman who thought to his own sweet little self: "Now that the Senate has passed the anti-paddling rule, I won't need to wear my cap any longer."
And so he, in his superior manner,
thrust tradition aside, domned a surenuf hat, and journeyed forth to Mount Oread.
And when he got there, he noticed that he was one of the very few of his classmates who had failed to wear the postage stamp headgear; verily, he soon discover that the very men in his class whom he thought would amount to something were wearing the cap.
But he was undaunted. "Ha! Ha!" he laughed, softly, silently to himself—his own sweet little self. "These fellows are foolish."
Just then the young neophyte was halted by a bunch of gentlemen interested in gardening, and requested to help three of his classmates—who, the freshman observed, had also failed to wear their caps—dig up the dandelions which infested some fifty square yards of campus.
It wasn't very pleasant work; and as young Mr. Freshman thought it over, he decided, after all, that perhaps the loyal thing to do was to wear the cap.
Not the easiest thing to do, but the loyal thing to do!
And so he wore it, next time.
And so he wore it, next time.
Now the Fates who watch over that particular freshman's career are sorting the cards anew; for he promises, after all, to be of some service to his Alma Mater.

TO HONOR CO-EDS
Speaking in the vernacular of the country in general, a co-ed is a person who wears hobnailed boots, affects the appearance of them despicable traits in a woman.
But properly and locally speaking, a co-ed is a delightfully light and airy person with a mind of her own who is eager to enjoy life without resort to argument. She fluctuates between English walking shoes by day and silver slippers by night. She is agreeable sensible and satisfyingly inconsequential in her manner and companionate in her walk. In fact, a very pleasing sort of person.
The dean of women suggested recently that Washington women rise as a body and resent the misnomer of co-ed. But why abandon an epithet which we have finally tamed and from which the sting has been removed? Rather, be proud of having lived the stigma out of the co-ed.
A co-ed is only a woman student working under the system of co-education. Nothing very terrible in that, especially when the woman is a 1917 model. The slur was a vestige of the days when a woman was a freak in a man's college, an usurper of masculine privacy and prestige.
That is all over now. A coed-today is an essential bit. True, she is all mixed up with sport clothes, coon shuffles and frivolos, but under it all there is a great deal of independence and independence. She is the finished product, the successor to that old vestige. Out of respect for that vestige let us
keep the old "o-ced" and be proud of it. Instead of doing away with the tie, Washington should be proud that at least one repugnance—Washington Daily.
SENATE FOLOWS TRADITION To The Editor:
CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be skipped as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent
It is easy enough for the Senate to say that the paddling question is of little consequence and that ten years from now we will realize how little it matters whether we as Freshmen were paddled into wearing a little blue cap, or went gaily on the Hill to get into theuest hobbesdariess of our home town.
Ten years ago we cried when we bumped our heads. The pain to us at that time was great. True we have forgotten all about that today, but we can sympathize with those in crying in the crying over bumps stage.
Paddling to enforce the wearing of the Freshman cap is one of the very few traditions of our University. To do away with it, it breaks another tradition by enforcing the cap upon the Freshman will be tolerated as it will be catalogued under the head of hazing. The only alternative they offer is to "create sentiment". That sounds simple, but he also enforces another and an institution like ours with its different colleges and coeds such a thing is impossible.
The Senate has willfully, and against the wishes of the student body broken one of our traditions. But in doing so it has followed another tradition, that of breaking all traditions.

ALUMNI ORGANIZE FOR INCOME BILL DEFENSE
Thirty Wyandotte County Grad uates From First Line for Passage of Measure
TO FIGHT DESPITE WAR
Supporters to Campaign Before Voters for Bill Though War Cohinues
Thirty Wyandotte County K. U. alumni formed a permanent organization to fight for the Permanent Income amendment at a dinner held at Hotel Ground, Kansas City, Kasan. The president, the county co-president, president of the County Chion Union, were speakers on the program. Great enthusiasm was shown by every one at the meeting, but many confessed they knew little about the new measure. The amendment will be presented state at the 1918 November election.
TO ELIMINATE INDIFFERENCE Willard Glasco said this morning the first big fight before the passport is issued to alumni of alumni and student indifference.
"Right now the students and alumni of the state schools must organize if they want this bill passed in the fall. If it is a year and a half away, and if it fails the movement will be dead for years to come. Then the legislature will say the people are not in favor of it, but they can on it again after it has just failed."
WILL NOT STOP FOR WAR
Mr. Jasco feels that if the amendment is to be successful, the campaign to get the bill before the voters will have to be continued in spite of the war. Acnes Thompson, secretary of the Alumni Association, said this morning, no definite plans of the alumni association will be formed until the course of the war is seen for certain.
Earlier in the winter the Kansas City, Mo. alumni held a similar banquet when the need of the amendment was discussed. The banquet yesterday is the first of a series to create alumni sentiment for the measure. The next meeting will be held in Leavenworth or Topeka.
The Alpha Xi Delta sorority will entertain with a founders day banquet at six o'clock tonight at the house. A five-course banquet will be served and Killarney roses, the sorority flower, will be used in decoration.

The University and the Merchants' Association may work together on this plan.

MEN FOR MILE RELAY AT DRAKE ARE CHOSEN
Games
Men for the mile relay at the Drake relay games, April 21, were picked yesterday afternoon. Rodkey the veteran half miler won first place in 52.3 second. Sproul, Welsh, Murphy, and Crowley also wins. Manager W. O. Hamilton plans to take six or seven men to the meet.
Kansas Will Compete in Two Events at Drake Relay
The time made in the mile relay try-outs yesterday was excellent considering the sandy and heavy condition of the truck. Ten or eleven teams managed to get through the management at Drake wants more teams in the four mile relay.
Stateler, Groene, Rodkey, and Sproull will be the entries in the four mile relay. If the mile relay is run, Sproull, Welsh, Rodkey, and O'Leary will be the men. Groene probably will not make the triit if this team is sponsored by Welsh, Sproull, and Rodkey are the men entered in the two mile relay.
SPORT BEAMS
A team will be entered in the two mile relay, and another either in the four mile or mile relay. If O'Leary is able to make the trip, Hamilton will enter the mile relay but if he is called into service in the engineering company at Topea, the four mile relay will be entered.
Coach Venne's slugging Haskell Indian Nine are scheduled to meet the Bethany College nine tomorrow at four o'clock on the Haskell diamond. This will be the only college game of Lawrence this week at Man-hattan, not succeed in landing a game for the Jayhawker nine. In the last home game the Indians smashed out two home runs and one three-bagger.
It is not known just what action the Senate will take in regard to University athletics, but the athletes, students, Manager Hamilton, the coaches and some of the prominent faculty athletic teams. The physical benefits derived from athletic training are great, and although some of the best Jay-
hawker athletes have joined various army organizations, there does not seem to be sufficient reason to abolish athletics.
Instead of abolishing athletics as some of the colleges and universities over the country have done, K. U. should follow the example of our best known training school for army off-duty athletes. In practice, we make a ruling that every man should participate in some form of athletics along with the regular army training.
The list of Jayahwaker athletes who have enlisted either for army work or for work on the farm is: Jick Fast, Mac McIlhenny, Ernst Uhrlaub, Harry Vernon, Jack Frost, Roland Ruble, Dormand O'Leary, George Coffin, Jack Hettinger, and Frank McFarland.
Mac Mellhenny acquired a new nickname in the game at St. Marys Saturday. For some unknown reason the St. Marys fans called him "Cupie" and it has become popular with the Jayhawk squad.
The Tiger baseball nine has been going good so far and probably will be the hardest team on the layawker schedule to beat. They have a chance to win the season and four of them have been Missouri Valley Conference games—two with the Kansas Aggies and two with Ames, Captain Smee said, however, that he believed Kansas would encounter little competition in winning from the Tigers.
Only three Tiger athletes have left school so far to enlist in the army or to go on the farm. Athletic Director Brewer has announced of dropping athletic schedules until it becomes more necessary than it is now.

MEN IN GOOD CONDITION
"Most of the candidates for Company M are in good physical condition. They attend night after examining a group of recruits. "When defects appear they are usually poor eyes, short weight, and weak limbs. These are just the defects one would expect among students. The last two can be remedied by appropriate medical treatment of physical education has set itself the task of developing the men in these particulars.
Ralph Roister Doister cast will meet Wednesday at 4 p. m. in Room 204, Fraser.
"The physical examination we give here is only a preliminary one. When the Guard is mustered into federal service the men are all re-examined. The federal examining officers never hesitate to turn back a man whom they see is not standing armly. By requiring a relatively high standard here we save the men the annoyance later on of being sent back from Fort Riley. Any man we pass here I consider absolutely fit to go ahead with the training."

"They Shall Not Pass!"
To every clothier with ideals to defend, these times fling a stern challenge.
Woolen fabrics today are worth 150 percent more than in 1914.
Silks and satins have risen from 40 to 50 percent in price.
It costs 100 percent more to put a linen canvas into a coat today than it did three years ago.
Haircloth, thread, tape, buttons—every item of clothes making-all show the same upward trend.
No retreat—not an inch—is the watchword in the Kirschbaum clothes making shops. Nothing but all-wool and the standards that belong with all-wool, let prices soar as they may—that is the Kirschbaum resolve and determination.

Here is a little wrinkle that in the course of a year will save you a considerable portion of your laundry bill:
When you brush your suit be sure not to overlook the cloth just inside the cuff of the coat sleeve. This will prevent the accumulation of dust and grit—which unless removed will soil your shirt cuff at the first contact.

STATE WILL WAGE WAR ON ALL EXTRAVAGANCE
State Council of Thirty Members Will Study Problem of Food Conservation
TELLS OF WORK AT K. U.
Allowance of University Credi for Farm Work Explained by Dean Blackmar
Luxuries and extravagances were classed with Germany by the State Defense Council as something to wage war upon yesterday when it met at Topeka to decide upon the measures to taken in conserving the food supply.
The council, composed of thirty Kansasans, prominent in state activities urged the use of all available land and vacant lots to grow garden stuffs. Committees were appointed to study conditions of Kansas in regard to ruined crops, available seeds, the labor problem, and how to market the garden products so that they will not be wasted.
"No one must be idle this summer everyone must have some duty to perform in doing his bit for his country," was the main sentiment expressed in the meeting. "Pay the boys and girls who are sick or dying one should be made to work for nothing and yet no one should be permitted to loaf all summer."
EVERYBODY MUST WORK
Dean F. W. Blackmar of the University told of the conditions at the University and in Lawrence and Douglas County; how men were being excused from school with credit to work on the farms; and how Douglas County bankers were loaning money to farmers whose crops had failed or who were in need of money to start planting.
CENTRAL STATES FURNISH FOOD
"It is really up to the Mississippi Valley to produce not only enough food for the United States but also enough food to help the armies and peoples abroad," said Governor Capper in introducing the work of the meeting. "We must aid the state in furnishing seed, supplying money for educational facilities, pushing the boys' and girls' clubs, using the backyards and vacant lots and increasing other intensive methods."
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 18, 1017.
"And it is up to Kansas to save and to be moderate in all things. Useless luxuries should be done away with and all extravagances should be taoed."

Dean P. F. Walker Requests All Students Who Are in Military Service to Fill Blanks
Dean P. F. Walker has requested every enlisted man in school, whether he is a member of a Lawrence company or of some outside military organization, to fill out a blank giving the necessary information so that the student would be listed on all students who are in any military organization.
"Many of the men have already filled out these blanks," Dean Walker said this morning, "but some of them are not well off, and our records are incomplete."
Blanks may be obtained either at the office or at Dean Walker's office.

"Paragraphing becomes a habit," she continued. "Wherever you are or whatever you are doing will sag, and so may make an admirable paragraph."
Mrs. Hoeh did not hesitate to urge young women to enter the newspaper field especially in the capacity as paragrapher and editorial writers. "This field is more adapted for women's work," she reported, "in the fashion sector." The said, "Some of the best writers in Kansas today are women."

Doctor Sundwall Thinks All Mediaa Students Should Complete Their Courses and Then Enlist
"The University is not likely to turn out any ambulance corps or any other hospital unit," said Doctor Sundwall, of the School of Medicine, this morning.

The Army says most sick men may be available when our country needs them.
The University War Council meets this afternoon to discuss all matters wherein the University may be of use or should not be used, and enable that the Council will consider the possibility of such University organizations as medical units.
BETAS DEFEAT THE SIGS
Captain Hill's Team Opens Schedule With an Exciting Game That Ends in a 4-0 Victory
The Bets opened their baseball season yesterday and the Sigma Chi
The Sigma Chi-Beta clash was a real game and a number of classy plays were made by both teams Hill, captain of the Betas, played the batting and field work in center field, catching two long files in one innings.
The game yesterday was probably the most exciting Pan-Hellenic game played this season. The rooters were enthusiastic and there were more cords out to the game than at any of the other games on the Sigma Chi schedule is with the Phi Siis April 24, while the next Beta game is with the Delta Taus May 2.
Reed, the Beta twirler, succeeded in putting ten of the Sigma Chis out by the one, two, three route. Gibbens, center player on the Jayhawker squad, worked at the receiving position for the Betas. Baker and Smith, both from the Varsity squad, formed a strong team. But did not succeed in faming as many men as the Beta battery. Baker was credited with nine strikeouts.
Prof. W. L. Burdick told his law classes this morning that it was anything but patriotism to withdraw from school to enlist in the army or go home and lay around doing nothing.

SENATE WILL RETAIN ATHLETICS THIS YEAR
Vote of 38 to 20 Upholds Chancellor's Plan for Normal Conditions
Intercollegiate athletics will be retained at the University for the rest of this school year, according to action taken by the University Senate yesterday. The vote was 38 to 20 for retention.
This action of the Senate is in accordance with the Chancellor's wish that the work of the University should continue in as many colleges as the rest of the semester. In retaining athletics here the Senate followed the example of the largest universities of the country as well as the plan of the military academy at West Point, which has brought of doing away with athletics.
Whether or not the University of Kansas has intercollegiate athletics next year will be decided at the next meeting of the Senate here in May. Other schools in the Missouri Valley have kept athletics, except the Kansas State University which has diversity. If college athletics are abolished for next year it will mean that K. U. will not be represented in the Missouri Valley contests.
Some of the smaller schools and colleges have been swept away by the war enthusiasm and have abolished athletics, substituting military drill in its place. In some cases, however, nothing has been put in the place of the college sports and the result has been a large body of idle students. At K. U. there is no provision made for substituting drill with credit for physical activity. It would take several months to get permission from the War Department to establish military drill in place of athletics.
SELECT 1917 H. S. QUESTION
Contestants Will Debate on Subject of More Intensive System of Ship Subsidies
The question high schools of the state will debate next year has been selected by the high schools in this year's contest. The question concerns establishing a more intensive system of subsidies for the United States.
Other questions considered were on government ownership of railroads and a six-year term of office for the President. More than sixty high schools competed this year. Mount Hope and Hoxie came to the finals and debated for the state championship here. Mount Hope won.
The eight district members of the league, who look after the debates in each congressional district are assigned each year to the school which wins the district championship. G. L. McCleenny, of Meriden, will represent the first district; W. J. Neumann, of Rosseau; the second; R. J. Sillman, of Cary; the third; W. S. Rupe, of Burlington; the fourth; C. A. Youmans, of Minneapolis; the fifth; C. L. Williams, of Hoxie, the sixth; Willard N. Van Slyke, of Pratt, the seventh; and C. R. Rankin, of Mount Hope, the eighth.
SEND OUT 50,000 PETITIONS
Fifty thousand petitions went out from the University yesterday to every high school in the state of Kansas and every college in the United States for signatures to request a measure abolishing the use of grains for the manufacture of intoxicating liquors.
Every Part of Country Will Ask Congress to Prohibit Manufac
These petitions are in the form of letterheads so they may be pasted to the President and dressed to the President and the Congress of the United States. It reads:
New Class in First Aid
This movement has lately grown to nation-wide proportions, and distillers and brewers have offered to limit the output of their plants in view of the present crisis. Whether this movement stems the tide of complete national prohibition is the probability these petitions are fighting against.
ture of Liquor
For the benefit of those who were unable to enroll in the First Aid course at the beginning and those who have been compelled to miss more than one lesson, a new class in First Aid Training will be given down town. The work will be given by Doctor Clark at his office over the Bell Brothers music store at seven-thirty o'clock on Wednesday evenings. The second lesson will be given this evening. Anyone can attend any one to take this course as no entries are allowed.
"We appeal to you for legislation prohibiting the consumption of food products in the manufacture of intoxicating liners."

SENIORS REHEARSE DAILY
Faculty Member Sees Practice for "If I Were Dean" and
Calls It Unusual
"I didn't really know how good a play this was until now," said a faculty member last night. He had read the play, "If I Were Deane," before he was awarded, and saw it played the first time at last night's rehearsal.
"This is really an excellent piece of dramatic work. The situations are well handled; the action is not allowed to drag and this is unusual for an amateur play. The character of 'Fanny', the Dean's 'steonel', is one of the best drawn characters I have seen in years.
Frank McFarland, who was to have taken the part of the Hon. N. Cy Lage of the Legislature, has withdrawn from school and from the cast in the play which part he played "Gibbs" in "Under Cover."
The members of the cast are working into their parts in A-number-one style, and by a week from tomorrow, all the things will be in first-class condition.
SEEK ADVICE FROM K. U.
The Philippines have heard of the University of Kansas. Furthermore they have heard of the Municipal Ref- seatory of which Homer Talbot is secretary.
Philippine Library Asks for Help in Establishing Reference Bureau Department
Not long ago Mr. Talbot received a letter from the acting Director of the Philippine Library and Museum at Manila, asking for publications issued by the government and asking that they might be included in the mailing list of the bureau.
The Reference Division of the Philippine Library and Museum is comparatively young, having been found only last year, and a Director feels that experience and benefit by the experiences and investigations of the Reference Bureau here.

Mrs. Homer Hoch of the Marion Record addressed the class in Editorial Problems and Policies today. By way of introduction Mrs. Hoch said that she had never attended a school's journalism. She had married one, however, and all her editorial problems and policies were named Homer.
Prof. E. B. Miller, after giving a 40 minute quiz in a shugly closed room with an 80 degree temperature, suddenly sprang to the windows, threw them open, and begged of his guarders, "Please don't tell the Kansan."
Scoop Hill, the demon Beta base stealer, can slide gracefully on his chest when the girls are looking on. Yesterday he showed how it was done. He baffles the belligent baseman by beginning to dive half way between bases, and helps himself along on his white sweater by a clever crawl stroke. And he gets there, too.
John H. Dykes is versed in both civil and military law. Last evening he was drill-sergeant in command of one of the platoons of Company B, where he was some of the mortal wisdom gained in his two years at West Point.
There are different kinds of preparedness. Prof. C. C. Crawford being absent from his English History classes, and not wishing to disappoint his students, sent them a little written quiz.
Now, in that class, everyone knows just when it will be his time to recite, as the names are called in regular order each day and it is necessary to study only on the day when one's name is to be called.
As a result of the unexpected written lesson, the students whose teacher wrote fluently and well, while the remaining ones wailed in despair.
Doyle Buckles has withdrawn from the college to take the position of city editor for the Sedan Times-Star. He will take the place of Sergeant Sands who will be called to duty in Company M.

Taking two husky brothers and a gun with him Ty intercepted the freshman on his homeward way and fired. He then shot the youth Not at all abashed, the youth pulled a long horse pistol and calmly refused to obey the rude request. Ty fired a blank but a second later a rifle, not the youth's ear, and then another and another.
The holdup men immediately began to explain and finally induced "their victim" to put away his gun. However they were somewhat peeved to find out later that Paramore knew about the plot all the time.
Y. M. C. A. WORKERS LEAVE TO TAKE UPWORK IN K.C
Harlan Russell and Harry Harlan have withdrawn from school to take up work with the Kansas City Y. M. C. A. Both of these men have been intimately connected with the K. U. Y. M. C. A. since their freshman year. Harlan is now vice-president and Russell is chairman of the personal work committee of the K. U. Y. M. C. A.
Harlan will have charge of the dormitory work of the Central department of the K. C. Y. M. C. A. Russell will be the high school secretary for both Kansas City, Kas., and Kansas City, Mo.

These two men will take up their work immediately.
STUDENTS WITHDRAW AND SENATE WORRIES
Chancellor's Cabinet Empowered to Pass Upon and Regulate All Cases
FOSTER REFUSES CREDITS
Registrar Wants Official Notification Before He Will Register Grades
FOSTER OBJECTS
Great alarm was expressed by members of the University Senate yesterday over the 140 student withdrawals from the University for military duty or their "bit" back in their home town. Practically all the men who are enrolled in military school have dropped from two to five hours a week in their regular school work. There are 125 men enrolled in these classes.
The Senate empowered the Chancellor's cabinet to pass upon all cases and to formulate regulations governin- g the state, and aid in the publication of the same.
Registrar Foster said this morning that the office of the Registrar would not withdraw students from the University until the Chancellor's cabinet decides upon the regulations at its meeting this afternoon.
"Some students are taking advantage of the war enthusiasm," continued Mr. Foster, "and too many unauthorized things are occurring; nevertheless this office will not accept unauthorized withdrawals.
NO TIME FOR EXCITEMENT
"I have no desire to place any unnecessary burden on any of the students but indiscriminate withdrawals will have to stop. I believe this is not because I want them to keep their heads more than at any other time," continued Mr. Foster.
Chancellor Frank Strong, also, this morning that only bona fide cases of withdrawal would be accepted and that if they were later found not to be of this kind, the students would themselves without their term's credits. He, Angel, secretary of the University School, told the matter was entirely in the hands of the Chancellor's cabinet now but that many of the faculty members were alarmed at the large number of students leaving the University.
STAGE IS ALL SET FOR HOP
Annual Sophomore Hop Promises To Be The Biggest And Best In Years
Plans for the big Soph Hop coming Friday night are gradually being completed. The decorations are all ready to put up, the farce is all ready for the big affair. Haley has wired the hole with his twelve-inch screen and his patriotic program, and the ticket sale is progressing fine.
Students who, a week ago feared the Hog would be called off, now are bringing their tickets for the spring classic. Students working overtime at the Fraser check stand during the afternoons to supply the big rush for the little pasteboards. They will be open tomorrow from 9:30 to 12:00 in the morning and Fri- all day.
The party will begin promptly at 7:15 with the farce, which will last about forty-five minutes. The dancing will start immediately following and will last until Mrs. Brown clamps on the lid. Refreshments will be served throughout the dancing under the master managers Skin Greener and Hertington. Although the lunch will finish these two entrepreneur-declare these will be more than five loaves and two flashes for the hungry five thousand.
Cabs and flowers are absolutely taboo, according to the managers. It is to be a dance and not a floral display.

To be clean; to be cheerful; to be brave; to be curious; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the best of our ability the students of University.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1917.
Poor Richard Says:
THE CAMPUS AS A FARM
Industry pays debts, but deapair in creases them.
With thousands of acres of land in Kansas lying idle through lack of men to cultivate it; with more thousands of acres capable of producing double the amount they are now yielding if given more intensive cultivation, some enthusiast made the doubtful proposal that the grass covered slopes of Oread be converted into a field of waving wheat.
Within easy walking distance of the campus are hundreds of acres of pasture land, fully as fertile as is the University campus, which might be farmed by students as easily as Mount Oread.
Douglas county could use almost every man and woman in the University on its farms, while every section of the state is in need of farm hands.
It has taken years of hand feeding to cover the campus with the grass which makes it one of the beauty spots of the state, and one heavy rain would wash its freshly plowed soil into the Kaw.
But if the campus must be used, it could be made to "do its bit" by using it—as it was used until five or six years ago—as pasture.
Any student or faculty man so obsessed with the back-to-the-farm idea that he favors destroying the work of fifty years for the sake of a few bushels of grain might find all the land he can care for, covered with tin cans and barrel hoops, in Lawrence vards.
SAVE AND CONSERVE
The popular slogan, "Save and Conserve," now displayed in nearly every window, does not apply to only the commercial world. We can save and conserve our energy every day. There isn't any need to spend three hours in doing a one hour task. Learn to do each thing in the shortest time and yet get the best results. Too much time is spent in getting down to business. This is extravagance and extravagance is costly. Learn to save and conserve energy.
COURTESY TO THE FLAG
Some of the student organizations have either forgotten or do not know that it is a mark of disrespect to the flag to have it waving at night even if a spot light is turned upon it. The rule is that the flag should be displayed out of doors only between sunrise and sunset.
With the prospect of armed camp dotting the country from coast to coast, it would be well for civilians to learn the trick of taking off their hat when the colors are carried past their Women, of course, can not take of their hats to the colors but they can look at the flag in a respectful man
pee and cease talking and laughing as the colors are carried by.
SPRING FEVER
Measles, quinzy, and spring fever threaten the inhabitants of Mbun Oread. The greatest of these is spring fever. The victims of the disease show a listlessness and a moony countenance. They have a way of sighing up at the trees and the sky; it is hard to keep them within doors. They complain of heaviness of head and feet. They suffer much from lethargy—but their grades suffer more. Beware of the symptoms.
The idler he who plays and fritters his time away is of course not to be praised or commended, neither is the person who comes to the University merely for a good time. But too often condemnation falls on a student who does not apply himself strictly and industriously to the outlined work. Yet in his desultory observation, his scattered reading and his wide intercourse with people he may be learning more than the University has to offer than the ones who pull It's in every course. Many of the great geniuses were known as mediocre students in school, such as Scott, Thackeray and Balzac.
Conservation of food will help many cities in that they will not have to find better and more adequate means of disposing of the garbage.

KNOW YOUR FRIENDS
How many people do you know intimately? True, there are probably a host of students about the university with whom you have a fair, passable relationship to them? Society draws about people meeting in groups a haze so that they do not see each other clearly. Oh, yes, we can have a good time with our fellow students, laugh, and play games and one thing and another, but not know them as we know the members of our own family, for instance.
We know the company face of our friends, but do not realize their deeper, more constant personality. Did you ever see "Peg" Smith at home? No. Well, then, you are acquainted with only a portion of his personal life. If they will they in the few hours that they are together find out more about each man's real everyday personality than they would in a year at school.
Trump with a fellow for a day and you will uncover his weaknesses and his virtues. His temper, courage, assitity, kindness, decency, honesty, loyalty, wisdom, generosity, you with a force that you never before thought possible. This is merely suggestive.

Spring days are coming, and nature that will not stand a bluff bids you two to come home; their presence.-Williamette College.

CAMPUS OPINION
HELP WANTED
K. U. students are not slackers. We contend that there are no men more patriotic in the nation than the Kansans that inhabit Mount Oread. We have been criticized for our slow response to the call to the ranks of volunteers.
As a matter of fact there are scores of men in the University who are ready and anxious to enlist in some phase of the war where they think they can do the most good but there is not any way in which they can get the information on the subjects they want.
To find out about the navy or any branch of the service other than that of private in the ranks of the militia, they must go to Kansas City. Why can't the government station some men at the University or Lawrence to advise men as to what course to follow in doing their bit for the nation? The average student knows nothing or the branches of the fighting body. There are vocations in it as well as there are in professional work. Let's get some help before we decide that K. U. men are not doing their part.

WAR TRAINING CLASSES START SCHEDULE WORK
Rigid
Strict Records Will be Kept and Requirements Are
Beginning today strict regulations will be enforced in all military training classes. The rolls were made out this morning and will be called for the first time when the classes meet this afternoon. Punctuality is required in all military work and those who do it must pass the roll call will be marked absent. The three are absent from more than four classes a week will be drowned from the rolls.
A total of 241 are enrolled in the two companies, 124 in Company A and 117 in Company B, and, although enrolling has slacked up, there are a few more joining every day. Be careful information concerning the military work Dean Walker found it necessary to refuse to see men who wanted to talk him about the work before eleven o'clock this morning.
Definite systems and plans are being adopted to obtain better organization so the work will proceed smoothly. Classes are now meeting regularly and drilling is done in the open when weather permits.
WORK OUT SYSTEM
A meeting of the reserve officers class will be held this afternoon to discuss plans for carrying on this work. These men have to study drill regulations requiring three hours of strenuous work daily. Dean Walker is making an effort to arrange so those who are taking this special work can spend the necessary time without losing their credit in the University.
WORK IS NO SNAP
All of this work requires the closest attention to the exercises given and regular attendance. When a student is found who is not giving his earnest attention to the work he is taking he will be withdrawn from the class. Credit will be given only to those who attend the classes regularly until the end of the present semester.
There is still plenty of room for those who wish to enroll in the short course in shop work. The course offers especially good opportunities for learning and developing engineering, signalling or the quartermaster and ordance departments.

WAR PLACED CHEMISTS ON SOUND FOUNDATION
Dean Sayre Says All Products Required Can be Produced by Americans
"Chemists believe that the rapid development in the manufacture of chemicals will make the United States independent of foreign supplies after peace has been established," said Marcus Sayer of the School of Pharmacy, which is meeting a meeting of the American Chemical Society in Kansas City last week.
America now produces as much carboic acid, benzol, and tolual as the world used before the war. The total of companies for manufacture of chlorine is $4,000,000, and negotiations are now pending for the consolidation of several dyestuff companies with a capital of $10,000,000. New organizations have been incorporated to take advantage of these investments have been added to the investments in the production of potash from kelp. New dyestuff plants have been established to utilize the by-products of oil refining. The output in the pro-phase of this has been eight per cent o the quantity consumed in the United States.
"All the products for war which the government may require for the army can be produced by American chemists. Say, you know, quality of American chemicals is

THIRTY NEW RECRUITS TRAIN WITH COMPANY M
Captain Jones Pleased With Showing of Material but Regrets Slow Enlistment
ANTICIPATES EARLY CALL
Officers in Charge of Recruiting Stations Prefer Selective Draft System
Thirty new recruits of Company M participated in the initial drill of their military training last night at the armory in Robinson Gymnasium. For one and one-half hours the men were put through the rudiments of military marching, and when it was over, most of the men had a better conception of the hard drill necessary to equip efficient soldier from a "probe"
Captain Jones spoke highly of the men's work, but he regrets that more men do not enlist at once and participate in the elementary drills.
"The men have the right attitude toward their work," said First Sergeant Dana last night. "I have seen recruits fall over themselves time after time, but most of these men get the hangs of the thing right away. Owing to the fact that the call to the colors may come at any time we may start the men to drilling with great energy and manoevering are the essentials, however, upon which all their training depends."
Many of the older company men archeome arranging their affairs in anticipation of a call to the colors. There will be little time for such things after orders to move are received. The man have to do even guess when the call will come, but they are all eager for action.
WANT CONSIDERATION OF MEN
Business was slow at the recruiting office yesterday afternoon. If this is the way the volunteer wrestlers are going, the war, the recruiting officers say they are in hearty sympathy with the selective draft system. They pointed out that even the liberal enlistment time for the length of the war had not raised the number of enlistments above normal. The necessity for a long training, they say, cannot be ignored; the recruiting officers had only one enlistment to announce this morning—that of L. B. Hayes.
Company M will not drill Thursday night because of the concert of the Newapolis Orchestra in Robinson Gymnasium.
SPORT BEAMS
The action of the Senate in regards to retaining Jayhawkey athletics was well received by the athletes and sport followers this morning. This action by the Senate indicates that there are some mighty broad-minded men among the faculty who did not lose their heads in the war excitement. Such men as these will live in the hearts of the students.
The Varsity nine took a hitting spurt in the practice game yesterday afternoon and beat the freshmen by a 6 to 0 score. The Varsity lineup was changed considerably because of the fact that Chase and Gibbens were called over to Hamilton Field to play with the Betas and Baker and Smith were called to play with the Sigma team. She's played nice pitched for the Varsity, Bill Weber played first base, and Taylor, Poier, and Craig played in the field. Carter, Lindsey, Pratt and Scheenfeld played at their regular positions.
Yesterday, "Don't Cross Courts" and "Too Wet To Play On" signs were placed at all of the entrances to the McCook Field tennis courts, but in spite of these signs many students made tracks and large heel imprints across the soft courts. Manager Hamilton did not put those signs up for the mere pleasure of putting them up, but instead he put them up to keep the students off the courts when they are too wet to play on. Honey, the colored carteaker with the McCook Field is about the tracks and heel imprints. He said the students could not expect him to keep the courts in shape if they deliberately made holes in the courts to save a minute or so of their time.
Every afternoon on McCook or Hamilton Fields there is a practice
game of baseball, unless the diamonds are too wet to play on. The games are free and a large number of students as well as a few town people have been coming out to see the games. The Varsity-freshman practice games, and a few of the Pan-Hellenic and Hash House games are exciting and well played, and are worth the while of any baseball fan.
Prince Reitzel, the journalistic descendant from Russian nobility with horn-rimmed glasses, is quite a boxer. Yesterday afternoon he took several rounds with a boxing mate in the padded boxing room in Robinson gymnasium. The only thing that Prince does not like in boxing is to have his opponent step on his foot and then hit him in the face.
Coach Z. G. Clevenger, of the Kansas Aggies, is in favor of retaining athletics. He said sentiment in Manhattan was against abolishing college athletics at present. Since the onesided victory over the Kansas Normals, he thinks the Aggies have hit their stride and will make a strong race for the Missouri Valley Championship.
Washington University. at St. Louis, is the only university in the Missouri Valley Conference to abolish the athletic schedule so far, but this action does not make much difference as Washington U. has just furnished practice for the other valley teams anyway. If it gets back in the valley conference next year it may give more than practice, however, as Rutherford of Nebraska has signed up as coach of the St. Louis school.
Coach Dutch Uhllaub said he would hold the regular Varsity basketball spring practice at seven o'clock tonight in the Gymnasium. He said he will meet with players and coaches. Varsity quintet to report for the practice unless engaged in other sports.
Coach Venne was forced to cancel the game with Bethany College today because of the fact that about half of the players they have signed up for the army.
The Pan-Hellenic game between the Kappa Saga and the Phi Gama which was scheduled for yesterday was postponed until November 28 for postponing the game that the Hamilton diamond seemed too wet to play on at noon.
The Walling Club won from the Stoic Club by a 3 to 2 score in the eleven inning game Saturday, instead of the 6-5 win stated in Monday's Kansan. The mistake was made in taking the score from the score-keeper's record.

The courts are in excellent condition but are being put into better condition every day. New signs reading "Don't cross the courts" have been put up at all of the gates and these signs mean that no one is to walk
across the courts with their street shoes on, and under no circumstances to walk across the courts in rainy weather.
Last season a few thoughtless students walked across the courts when they were still wet after a rain and left deep heel imprints across the courts which took a great deal of time to level up. Every effort is being made to put the courts in first class condition.

SYMPHONY MUSICIANS GIVE CONCERT TODAY
Emil Oberhoffer Returns to University With Company of Talented Players
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 19, 1917.
TO HONOR PROF. SKILTON
VARIED PROGRAM OFFERED
Programs Include Work of Wagner, Beethoven, Saint-Saens and Others
A varied program is included in the concerts this afternoon and evening. The afternoon program includes works of the better known composers, Wagner, Beethoven, Saint-Saens and Massenet, C. S. Skilton, professor of music at the University, is being honored by having two of his Indian melodies played this evening. These melodies taken from the utmost realism of things were first arranged by Professor Skilton for the Zoellner Quartet. In the summer of 1916 the composer scored them for orchestra on a coffe馆 in the MacDowell Memorial Home at Petersborough.
The orchestra arrived at one-fifteen
the afternoon and the concert started
at 10.
The Minnesota Symphony Orchestra is playing in Robinson Gymnasium this afternoon. It gives another concert this evening at 8:15 p.m. Emil Oberhofer is conductor Wendell Heighton is manager.
One sees nothing startling or especially thrilling in these four sentences. The phrases are getting old to University students, for this is the fifth successive year the orchestra has played in Robinson Gymnasium.
PATTerson ANNOUNCES BAN ON DUCKING, TOO
Also Sets Clear Ruling on Violation of Mid-Week Public Dance Regulation
But whether the announcements grow stale or not the orchestra with its same leaders has something new; it is always new. Perhaps the same symphony is played this year that was played last year or two years ago. But after hearing it the second time one wants to hear it again. The symphony always presents something that was lost the time before. No one catches everything at the first hearing.
"Students should know that ducking as well as paddling is prohibited," said Professor Patterson. The regulation adopted by the Senate specifies:
This is the eleventh annual spring tour of the Minnesota orchestra. The orchestra leaves Minnesota early in the spring after giving several concerts there and tours the United States, particularly the western part. It also makes a trip of different cities in the fall.
Several references, in the Daily Kansas, to ducking in Potter Lake as a substitute for paddling in enforcing the freshmen cap rule, caused Prof. D. L. Patterson, chairman of the University Senate disciplinary committee to issue a warning this morning.
"All hazing including paddling and any other form of violence used to enforce student regulations is forbidden."
The Rock-Chalk-Jayhawk Society, an organization of freshmen men and women, will give two one-act comedy shows on Friday, May 3 and "Billa" and "Aroused at Last," in the Green Hall theater Wednesday, May 2. Tryouts for these plays have been held, and the cast is now working hard in the direction of Susan McDonald, C.177.
There is another possible misunderstanding which members of the disciplinary committee want to have prevented. This in regard to the punishment meted out to ten students who attended a public mid-week dance. The group was forced to commit of the mid-week night date rule but also of the University Senate ruling that no student can attend dances thrown open indiscriminately to the public at a fixed price. The ten students were reprimanded and forbidden to attend any more dances. This has been confirmed. Only Varsity dances, but fraternity, sorority, group dances during the present semester, Professor Patterson says.
ROCK-CHALK-JAYHAWKS
TO GIVE TWO PLAYS SOON
These plays are being given in order that more freshmen may have an opportunity to do dramatic work. The rest of the cast will be charged to these performances.
GOVERNOR CAPPER APPOINTS
PROF, B. F. MOORE DELEGATE
Prof. B. F. Moore, of the department of political science, has been appointed by Governor Capper one of the delegates from Kansas to the an- diversity and american Academy of Political and Social Sciences to be held in Philadelphia next week.
The assembly is composed of two delegates from each state and is held for the purpose of discussing national politics and social problems. War memorials, public initiatives, subjects probably will be the topics of discussion at this meeting.
WAR TAKES 11 BANDMEN
But McCanles Will Try To Reorganize It for the Spring Concert in May
Eleven men of the University Band have enlisted in the National Guard, and J. C. McCamles, director, is working hard to rearrange his band for the concert to be given early in May. Three clarinet, two trombone, four alto, and two cornet players have gone. It will be necessary to come back with the band if the band. The places the first will be filled up by the second man
Four of the men have joined the First Regiment Band; one, the signal corps in Kansas City; one the engineering corps in Topeka; one, Company M; one, Company H; one, the hospital corps; one, and one, Battery B.
"I am neither encouraging nor discouraging the enlisting of band men," said Mr. McCanles. "I tell them if they deem it their immediate duty to enlist, do so; otherwise, wait until the close of the school year."
WILL DEFINE OUR "BIT"
Chancellor Has Called Special Convocation to Tell of K. U.'s Part in World War
Chancellor Frank Strong will speak at the special convocation in Fraser Chapel tomorrow morning at 10:10clock on "The University and the War." The convocation is being held the next of next Friday because the Chancellor is the students should understand the position * K. U., in the world war.
Doctor Strong will discuss the question of students enlisting in the regular army and in the national guard. The part which the University men and women should take in the campaign to save and also in the raising of more food products will be explained.
Whether or not there should be an uncalled for exodus of students from the school will be brought up by the collage, and, also, just how much work the student will do in business. The Chancellor probably will discuss the amount of military work each student should do here while in the University. The military training athletics here probably will be mentioned in the Chancellor's talk.
GRADE SCHOOLS WILL HELP
Rural Schools Give Credit to Those who Do Their Bite on the
Farm
He—Rather, a promising career.
Following the example of the schools of higher education in Kansas, the state board of education yesterday recommended in grade and rural schools of the state who stop school to go to work on the farm. To secure this credit it will be necessary for the student to have a high grade at the time of leaving school.
This will make it possible for boys in the higher grades of the rural schools and those who live in the country and attend city schools to obtain full credit for the year's work in school if they find that it is necessary to leave to help with the farm work. The students of the state of all ranks are now free to help with the campaign to increase the food supply.

RUSH TO BUY TICKETS MAY FETE TO PRESENT FOR ANNUAL SOPH HOP SCENES OF ALL AGES
Everything in Readiness
Spring Party Tomorrow
Night—Starts at 7:15
Dozens of soldier boys who expected to be called to the colors before this are now making eleventh hour dates for the annual Soph Hop coming tomorrow night. Not only the soldier boys but others also who expected the Hop to be called off are joining the grand rush for tickets. "If holding tickets, I am worse than holding back students who are in a hurry to get tickets, I am a pacifist," says Frank Gage, official salesman of the Hop.
Everything is in readiness for the opening. The cast for the farce is impatiently waiting for their "first night." The opening act of this will be the world famed Hula Chorus, featuring Lucille Elmore and a supporting chorus, in the latest "shredded wheat" songs.
Following the chorus comes Darrel Markley, direct from the Muehleb in Kansas City. His number will consist of several late songs, now being featured in the city. He will be accompanied by a full orchestra.
In the receiving line will be Chanceller and Mrs. Strong, Mrs. Eustace Brown, Mrs. F. D. Tharpe, Miss Katherine Fogarty and Mr. Frank Gage. The dancing will start promptly at eight o'clock and continue till two. Resellers will be served during the 3-4, 7-8 dances and mission that comes after the eighth dance. Dancers will be served at quartet tables.
O. H. Burns, of the department o public speaking, leaves tonight for Des Moines where he will represent the department here in the organization of a Missouri Vally Oratorical Association. An oratorical contest will be held, but Kansas will have no contest at this time.
The third act will feature the "great and only" Marie Buchanan—herself, in a series of whirlwind songs. The farce will close with the "Kansas" songs written by Frank Gage and sung by Darrel Markley and chorus. The farce will take place on the musicians' stand on the main dancing floor. The downstairs floor has been turned into a huge dining room where the hungry dancers will be served.
"Tickets have been good to the last few days," said Frank Gage, this morning. "It looked bad for a while and I began to doubt if the party would pay expenses, but now its success is assured. It now looks as if the Red Cross will receive a considerable amount from the proceeds."
The big squeeze of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity is visiting the local chapter. Of course, he is the national treasurer and high annotated keeper of the Fraternity, wherefore of Dan G. Swanell's bigness. He weighs almost 300 pounds.

Mothers' Day to be Held in Connection With May Day Festivities
The May Fete, the annual attraction given this year by the W. Y. C. A., will be held on McCook Field May 1. The fete will be in the form of pages, each department of the University presenting characters to portray the most interesting part of that department.
Characters from all lands and of all ages will parade in the pages in the Fete. 1700 B. C. is the farthest back in years that will be represented, other parts of the parade will represent those children. On the present day. The characters will parade around the track twice after which a May pole dance will be given by the gymnasium classes. Following this dance, the May Queen, Grace will be crowned by members of the Toltec organization for women. The Alma Mater, Evelyn Strong, will then take the reviewing stand and the parade will pass before her. Small plays, pageants, and tableaus will be presented before the Alma Mater and students from the center of McCook.
Mothers' Day, usually the first Sunday in May, will be observed by the University Tuesday, May 1, in connection with the May Fete. Mothers of all students will be invited to come especially for the day.
The greater part of the proceeds of the May Fete will be given to the Y. M. C. A., for relief in the prison camps, and to the Red Cross Association.
Open house will be held for the mothers by all fraternity and sorority houses. Already plans are being made to entertain them.
The summer course in geology, involving a trip through western Kansas and Colorado, has been cancelled. The proposed course had been called off because several of the men who signed up for the trip have withdrawn from school to return to the college; three others belong to Company M.
GEOLOGY TRIP SCHEDULED
FOR THE COMMUNITY IS CANCELLED
Owing to the uncertainty of the times it seemed advisable, after consulting with Dean Kelly, director of the course, he gave the course for this Summer Session.
Pharmics Will Celebrate
the student. The students of pharmacy will celebrate Daddy Save Day as usual this year, but as yet they have not decided on the date. War plans have super-seded nearly all other activities, but the pharmacies will not discard their celebration in honor of Dean Sayne, though perhaps the affair may be somewhat simpler this year. Definite plans will be announced later.
The Weather
Showers and cooler tonight. Friday fair, cooler in east portion and warmer in west portion.
PROF, W. F. HAYNES TO JOIN
MILITARY TRAINING CAMP
W. P. Haynes, assistant professor in mineralogy, will go to Plattsburgh, New York, June 1, to take up military training in the camp there. This is strictly a military training camp and the work opens early in June.
In commenting on the work in military training offered here in the University, Mr. Haynes says some very practical and beneficial work is being given, and that it is a rare opportunity, for the young men of the University, to be in a position to receive such valuable training.
Plain Tales from the Hill
A freshman rhetoric class was told to go to the library and read some of the poetry of Job. Well, one fresh walked up boldly to the counter in Spooner and asked for some of the minor works of that writer.
After an effort to find the desired books, the clerk came back with the information that "perhaps that book was then added to the collection of poetry."
"Mrs. Brown is out of town," was the girls who called at her office today,
And the freshman was happy, for he didn't like to read poetry. Any-that fellow Job must not be much a poet or he would be better known."
Each girl heaved a sigh of relief and on inquiring when the Adviser of Women would return was told that she had returned Monday as she was taking a vacation.
No one now can say that the women of the University have an indifferent attitude towards the present economical crisis. A great many have been known to actually sacrifice that which is most dear to their hearts. Pauline Hancock has curled the economy is gas. No, she hasn't curled her hair since war was declared.
And each girl wondered if she had been the cause of any extra worry to Mrs.
A Kansas reporter called at the economics office this morning and made a brief inquiry for news when a staffer called out, "YEs. I have some news."
G. C. Shaad, professor of electrical engineering, has introduced a new style of collar to electrical students, and it will become part of the structure is that of cotton bandage cloth.
The inspiration for the new fashion came to Professor Shaad because he had a boil on the back of his neck.
"And she certainly did need it too," and the secretary "this spring has been so good."
An individual wearing the loudest cap yet seen in Lawrence, a bright yellow and black plaid, succeeded in convincing the susceptible maidens at the different sorority houses, last Tuesday, that he had the only original dry cleaner ever invented. At one point he sold about twelve dollars worth.
NEED WOMEN JOURNALISTS
"What is it?" asked the reporter.
"Just say that Howard Fleeson is flunking a quiz in economics this morning."
The girls went to any extreme in getting the money, when such an opportunity was offered. At one house they bought a suit and sure to always have clean white gloves. As soon as the man had left, excited groups could be seen rubbing fronds on shoes or gloves only if their greatest spots as "constant at the stars."
value of Woman's Opinion in News papers Greatly Enhanced by Suffrage, Savs Mrs. Hoch
And the queer thing about it was that "the mean old thing" said he was working his way through the University of Missouri.
"Opportunities for women in journalism are increasing," said Mrs. Homer Hoch, of the Marion Record, in a special lecture to the women of the media on Thursday afternoon. "The coming of suffrage has undoubtedly helped to bring this about. Women read papers now because they are more interested in their affairs and attach importance to a women's work through the columns of a newspaper."
MUST GIVE EVIDENCE OF WORK FOR CREDITS
"In choosing your work, do not despise the country newspaper. It gives an opportunity for every kind of newspaper writing. It also creates a sense of ownership over one's town, since every one knows who writes the news in the paper."
Mrs. Hoch told of her department, the "Woman's Corner," on the Marion Record. This includes social and club notes, recipes, and other news of interest to women, and a paragraph column.
The College will give its annual spring party Monday, April 50. A military program, decorations, and refreshments will feature the party.
Faculty Shuts Down on Students Who Withdraw Without Proof of Good Faith
MAY HAVE TO RE-ENROLL
Will Have to Make Up Back Work if They Do Not Work on the Farm
Students who have withdrawn from several hours work to take one or more of the special courses offered in them, and training in the School of Engineering, will themselves selfs in hot water if they do not comply with the rulings decided upon by the Chancellor and his Cabinet yesterday at a special meeting called to question of granting credit to students who are taking the special training.
The new regulations drawn up by the Chancellor and his cabinet are the first to be made regarding withdrawals and the granting of credits, and during the past few weeks withdrawals and credits granted on the slightest pretense of extra work. All of those who have withdrawn from work will either be compelled to take all of the special work offered and make application to the examination for the Reserve Corps, or to re-employ in the job without than for freshman gymnasium will be granted for the drill work alone.
In the future all withdrawals will be granted only under specific conditions, and it will be necessary to show more evidence of work to be done to get withdrawn. Before credits will be necessary to show that the work on which the student has been withdraw has actually been done.
This action by the Chancellor's cabinet is final, since the University Senate granted it authority to take definite action. The rules as passed by the cabinet are as follows: 1. Work on the form
Students who wish to withdraw for work on the farm will be given credit for courses in which they are now going passive work provided they give satisfactory evidence that they have completed the natural pursuits from the time of withdrawal through the summer to about September first. 2. Special cases.
In special cases the deam of a school may excuse a student for the remain-ance.
TO CARRY ON CAREFUL SURVEY OF LAWRENCE
All students who have agreed to help on Saturday morning in the Red Cross survey of Lawrence will report at 4:30 o'clock Friday afternoon in Room 208 Administration Building.
Want Every Student to Help Find What We Could Do for Country
Every student in the University is being urged by Red Cross workers to help in the huge Red Cross survey of Lawrence Saturday morning. The survey is not to get members for the Red Cross, but to get a line on the amount of relief work Lawrence can have with huge military campaign. This will be important to the economic survey being conducted by the government in all states.
Prof. J. N. Van der Vries emphasized the fact this morning that this is not a haphazard campaign, but is one of many that are being conducted on systematic basis in every state in the Union. The Red Cross work is in support of President Wilson's plan of preparing for the last two years to get a line on all the resources of the country so they could be used in time of an emergency.
For the last three years almost all the supply of bandages and gaze has been sent out of the country. The survey will show how much work each citizen or student can do in making bandages or other supplies needed on the front. Not only will this sort of work be done but a thorough survey of needy families and their condition will be made.
If enough students do not enlist for this survey work, Company M has signified its intention to aid in any way that it can. However, the committee in charge of the survey hopes they will not be forced to ask the men who will have to go to the front to go to the citizens of the city asking them to contribute bandages for their use if they are wounded in battle.

Poor Richard Says:
UNIVERSITY SLACKERS
If you would know the value of
a borrowing goes a order
be that a borrowing goes a order
In the present time of uncertainty and excitement, the tendency is to "slack" on studies. This was discussed at the University Senate meeting this week. Of course, it is hard to follow the usual routine. Faculty members recognize the fact. They have been correspondingly lenient.
Those students remaining in the University can show their caliber by doing their work as well as possible, and in this manner help to carry out the work of the school year as it was planned.
The University Senate is to be commended in its action in retaining University athletics for the rest of the school year in accordance with the Chancellor's wish. The students are glad to know that the Senate has some members who are not carried away by the excitement of the moment and who do not disregard the interests of those who want to continue in the University in order to be better fitted to serve their country in whatever way they can.
KEEP COOL AND THINK
During these strenuous times, it is essential for the welfare of both the individual and the University that the students maintain a calm state of mind. Regardless of events which ordinarily are conducive of feverish excitement, we must remain placid, cool, and wide-awake in order that our faculties and judgment will be best qualified to settle the problems which confront us.
The excited man may enlist when he should remain at home and look after dependents. He may withdraw from the University and rush into a situation which does not require his presence or demand the sacrifice he is making. On the other hand, the highly enthusiled person may jump at conclusions, hold off from preparing himself for an emergency, and later regret that he did not think the matter out clearly, keep wide-awake to his opportunities, and do what really would have been the best for him.
We must keep cool and think well.
THE RIGHT SPIRIT
One of the most commendable things of the year was done when the manager of the Sophomore Hop, announced that the proceeds of this year's party would go to the Red Cross fund.
In the present war in Europe the Red Cross has been of great service. The amount of good this organization has done cannot be measured in dollars and cents. Now as our country is on the verge of entering actively into the war, the Red Cross is trying to keep up with other branches of the great military organization. It depends largely on volunteers to carry on the work and on contributions to be it up.
It is such contributions as this that make the work possible. The managers are certainly to be congratulated on their choice of the disposition of the proceeds of the party.
THAT BULLETIN BOARD
The gaudy poster-bedecked bulletin board at the entrance to the campus in front of Green Hall looks like the sign board for a burlesque show and it is at a place where it will be the first thing to meet the eyes of the visitor as he comes on the campus. A little more care and the bulletin board would be a neat, business-like arrangement instead of the dilapidated confusion of notices that it is.

THE REAL UNIVERSITY
Once there was a college man who tried to write a story typical only of his own institution. In studying the matter of stories typical to certain schools, he could find only one or two which seemed real, and one was the other. Finally in the annals of his own institution in this college man found an unsubstantiated legend to the effect that in the dim past students had the right to vote; the students at one time ran the city council, and the students from gold bricks. He seemed on the right track, but a graduate of another university told him the legend in the east of a student controlled town wherein the students once ordered the erection of a town hall one mile long and two inches thick. Thus there was similar evidence and none seemed to have a basis of fact. But rumors were not what he wanted.
In investigating the systems of voting, of societies, of freshmen cups, and of athletic meets, he found that there were no fundamental differences between these two societies inique. Whenever one college strikes upon a tradition, a dozen other schools will seize upon it. Individuality of college traditions, then may simply mean the trying out of all new, feewest colleges, so that the college gets whatever credit is deserved.
About the only things typical purely of his own college, were the peculiar conditions of the campus buildings, and the town and country surrounding it. But many schools have their own access systems, their institutions, their followers, their contests, their winning spirit, and so on. Most writers of college life have presented flippant, untrue atmospheres to the reading public. Thus the particular college man in this story could not conclude more than that all American universities and colleges are, altogether, the most visions of the great American University. Surely the world is in need of a writer who can conjure up the main cross-lines which form the complex of his own particular school, and at the same time show these deep, vital and earnest facts which are truly a part of college life, but which are also blinded by the superfluous externals of rah-rah-dom, fail completely to realize.

I wish to vehemently protest against the desecration of the institution of the time-honored and sastified custom of wielding the lusty and personified Paddle against the neither parts of the wearing apparel of the neophyte of our great and famous institution of learning and education, although somewhat inappropriately—called the Freshman.
Tis not conserving and protecting the rights of the notable students, to allow or permit the dineering and brow-beating Senate, composed of uncut, irresponsible, unthinking, irreverent, near sighted, domineering, and wholly destructive members of the faculty, to tear down and raise to the ground the basis of the power of the upper classmatter to chastise, obliterate, shuide, censure and repulse the too buoyant spirits of the freshmen. We cannot allow this class, this group of beginners, to dominate the University, to run over its sacred campus rough shod and unsanctiononiously.
Against the wishes, the rights, the vote, the approval of the student body, that part of the great and growing business among which rests on the brow of Mount Oread, the illustrific faculty cast aside all concern for others than themselves and abolished the right of the underline classmen of K. U.
With utmost reverence toward the faculty.
'Tis not the act alone—'tis the principle of the thing. Shall the faculty be allowed to cast off the teacher? 'No, we desire—as though the noble University were made for them and not for the students? Shall they continue to wrest away the rights of those who are for education?—No, by Jiggers!
Sincerely,
I. M. Highlowbrow

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
STICK TO BUSINESS SAYS DEAN BLACKMAR
Head of Graduate School Advises a Patriotism of Intense. Patient Labor
"Stick to business" is the policy all students of the University ought to follow in the present crisis, F. W. Blackmar, dean of the Graduate School believes. In the following communication to the Kansan today Dean Blackmar sets forth his opinion: "To the Students:
"There can be no doubt that the times call everyone to patriotism, but this does not necessarily mean that everybody should lay down the work in hand and rush off to something new. It may mean that a person should be called to enlist in the army or perform some other public service, and it may mean that he should stick to the daily routine.
"There seems to be a kind of hyserical atmosphere on the hill that propagates rumors and false notions of things. Whatever sacrifices war imposes upon us, and no doubt there are more than a million loyal citizens to see to it that the social, economic, religious, educational and industrial life should be so far as possible kept intact. War does not mean the abandonment of these phases of life. On the contrary, a student must study his physics, chemistry or Latin as to enlist in the army. It depends upon the situation. But patriotism does mean intense, patient, loyal work. It does not mean loafing the University or at home. Now is the case to be industrious and patient."
This expression of advice is in entire accord with opinions already given due by the Chancellor and the University, noughthe number of the University community.
French Babies Adopted
BY THE WAY
Since Miss Elizabeth Fell's visit to Lawrence last Friday when she talked on "French Fatherless Children," eight new orphans have been adopted in Lawrence and most of the twenty-five that were adopted last year have been readopted for the coming year George O. Foster says money is coming in steadily now at his office for the fund.
Independence is the banner town of the state, for 117 French orphans who were born in France.
From Lawrence Miss Fell went to Topeka where thirty-six orphans were adopted the first day, and the number is increasing each succeeding day.
Plans are being made to enlarge and reorganize the committee here to cover the various needs of the community.
Swick-Richardson
Contributions are still being received. Those wishing to contribute to the support of the French war orphans call Mehdi F. B. Dains, Bell 1702W or deposit at George O. Foster at the Registrar's office.
Mrs. Richardson is a member of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority, and of the Torch Society. Before her marriage she was assistant registrar here.
The marriage of Miss Emily Swick A.B.13, of Abilene, to Howard Logan Richardson, B.S.13, Cleveland, Ohio, took place at Abilene Tuesday, April 27, 1945. A.M.13, was maid of honor, and Russell Bodman, B.S.13, was best man.
Mr. Richardson is a civil engineer who heads headquarters at Cleveland, where he works.

CHEMISTS ASK WOMEN TO GIVE UP PLATINUM
This Valuable Metal Is To Be Used in Making Needed War Experiments
Exit platinum from its present position in high society! Heretofore it has been worn with pride by the wealthy, women of the country, for both the jewelry and a badge of shame, selfishness, and disloyalty, for, with the declaration of war, platinum, always scarce and valuable, has become of even greater value. It is needed in all scientific properties, and the scientific work connected with the war is most important.
The University men who attended the convention of the American Chemical Society have returned with a plea to all women here to surrender their platinum jewelry and to discourage the popularity of the valuable substance as a decoration, so that it may be used in chemical laboratories. The only ones that use crucibles are the only ones which may be used in certain experiments. Platinum wires are used in every electric light.
The Chemical Society discussed other modes of conservation and other means toward efficiency in the present crisis. The chemists talked about experiments on the silk used in Zapotlana leather, explosives, and about the ways in which the rubber for motor truck tires could be made more durable.
"Food control, so as to prevent such difficulties as the embalmed beef scandal in the Spanish-American war, will be called on to furnish food, and we may have to test it before it is shipped, so that the government will be sure to supply it at some time."
Thus far, however, the exact duties of the University in scientific work for the government have not been made known.
K. U. men need no longer fear cutting their hands, breaking their arms, or even bumping their heads, for from now on such accidents will be a good lesson. We should teach the gentle art of bandaging. The soft dft touch of her fingers will alleviate all temporary pain. There are plenty of nurses too. Four of them turned out for the second lesson in first aid work last night.

HASH HOUSES RAISE ON PRICE OF BOARD
Always meet your friends at this hotel.
High Cost of Foodstuffs Cause a of a General 50-Cent
Many boarding clubs in the student rooming district have raised board to $5 a week. Practically all of the boarding clubs on Tennessee Street and nearby streets have announced $10 club to $5 and $3.75 clubs to $4.25.
Advance
The club managers say the raise in the price of all foodstuffs has caused the advance. They cite big increases in the prices of flour, sugar, potatoes, and other staples. Practically all foodstuffs are higher at Lawrence stores than at firms in nearby towns, stewards say.
University students who were at the Emporia Normal school last semester say the rates at boarding clubs here now are uncalled for. The clubs at Emporia recently advanced tuition fees, and prized clubs charged only $4, while many after the increase were charging only $3.50 and $3.25.
In spite of some increase of food-stuffs, many of the fraternities and sorority houses, and with a larger expense of serving, continue to charge only $4.50 and some are charging less. Students who oppose the increase point out a combine of the managers of clubs and cite wholesale quotations from suppliers they say, do not justify an increase. But restaurants down town have all raised accordingly. Only two or three of the new cafes have retained their old prices. The two college cafes on the Hill have their old

MT. OREAD RESEMBLES BARRACKS LIFE OF '63
Memories of Civil War Days Return When Co. M Drills In Semi-Darkness
MEN BEGIN RIFLE DRILL
Students Favor Universal Service Plan to Save Nation In Present Crisis
Mt. Oread, the sites of the Union barracks and trenches in 1863, again had in a smaller way the appearance of a military camp last night when the new recruits of Company M drilled under the electric lights in front of Robinson gymnasium. The group of spectators attracted by the drill had but to foul them and see the marching columns in the semi-darkness and the click of the guns to catch the spirit that stirred the men of '63.
The men put as much vim into their drill as they put into an athletic event. Last night, at their second drill, they were instructed in the first principles of the rifle. These exercises are usually given after three or four weeks of marching, but owing to the fact that most of the work is being rushed. Company M has about sixty rifles at the army at the present time.
STUDENTS FAVOR DRAFT
**STUDENTS FAME DRAFT**
If the university committee which voted against the plan for raising an army by selective conscription had at the armory last night, they would have heard some rather plain language denouncing the congressional muddling of the administration's war plans. The volunteer is on its way, if suddenly insufficient if not dangerous for the country at this time.
Other companies over the country,
students point out, have no better
success in enlisting men than
Company M. The country has been at
war for two weeks and yet the army
is far from being on a fighting basis.
WITH ME
"We can't press the men of being weak-knee not for enlisting, rather it is their desire to nail the soft snap that they think will come some time in the future," said First Sergeant Daum last night. "This is not the right attitude, and the chances are that they won't get the jobs after all."
The new recruits announced are Charles E. Warders, Lester Elmore, Charles A. Haines, and Lowell Whitla.
SPORT BEAMS
Coach McCarty's Varsity players romped on Potsy's freshmen again yesterday afternoon by a 6 to 1 score in a five inning game. The Varsity players have been slugging the ball the last few days and are getting in-tip condition to add a couple of victories over the Cornhuskers next week, when they come here for two games.
The Varsity lineup has been changed constantly the last few days, because several of the players have been called to help their fraternity brothers in the Pan-Hellenic and Professional Choirs, and Smee played with the Theta Tauus and Carter and Craig played with the Phi Alpha Deltas.
The feature of the Phi Alpha Delta-Theta Tau clash was the exhibition pitching by Ad. Lindsey, who stayed in the box for the last five and three-quarter innings of a six inning game. In the second innning Lindsey succeeded in fanning two of the P. A. Ds on a grounder. He also allowed six hits, three of which were made before he got limbered up.
Jick Fast, K man on the football and gymnasium teams, sprung a surprise on Allen, the P. A. D. pitcher, by connecting for a home run, after having fanned out the first time to bat. His hit was the longest hit that has been made on Hamilton Field this year.
Tommy Pringle, halfback on the Jayhawker football team, is a strategist. He says he is going some to organize a company of home guards at Alma and take them to Milwaukee to watch the game in the first place the Germans would go, and that they would never get to Kanaas.
"Real offensive strength is the outstanding feature of the Tiger baseball nine as the team appears at this stage of its schedule," comments the Daily Missouriian. "In plain figures, the team has scored eighty runs in
nine consecutive victories to the twenty-seven scored by its opponents. The summaries of runs, hits, stolen bases, basses on balls, double plays and sacrifice hits show aggressive, heady playing and real run-getting ability. The real test of the season will come with the return games at Ames and the games with Kansas in the next two weeks."
The individual records of the Tigers are:

DRAMATIC CLUB PLAYS BEFORE LARGE AUDIENCE
Students Jam Green Hall to See "The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife"
They perched in the windows, they choked the aisles, they peeked through gaps among the screens; in short, the audience that jammed into Green Hall Theatre last night was declared the largest in years. The "street" in front of the coolest, whimsical buildings at the theater, salesmen cried their wares, was no wider than a cowpath; and, hat! the "street" exit was an east window.
The attraction? Oh yes. It was "The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife." This weird two-act farce, y'understand, was given recently by K. U. alumni players, but not, as critics opined, with quite the balance that graced the Dramatic Club show last night.
D'y krew, Harold Lyle—coach,
leading man, and chief of staff—was
a busy man after the show. He didn't
even have time to brush away the
perspiring beads on his brow, so
flooded was he with congrats--for
Harold, y'krew, was the strenuous,
long-suffering fudre.
Susan McDonald, as the wife who chattered in a manner "most abundant," and Guy Ecrowdy, as the suave lawyer-schoolmate, furnished real comedy. Kenneth Lott, as the pompous and learned doctor, made it plain that he was the great I-am; and Dara d'Aral Hartley, surgeon-barber, whose name ever so quiet, would be thoughtful, so thoughtful, Karl Brown showed both voice and versatility in handling a half dozen varied roles.
But the cast was a balanced one—
there wasn't a week character in the bunch. Ruth Foster, as Mademoiselle, Helen Gallagher, as the judge's servant, and Harry Velzer, as his secretary, added charm with their "bit," and Everett Grecian, as the apothecary, mumbled his consent whenever necessary.

der of the present semester when he takes the place of an enlisted man in a position where employment is in the interests of the public service, under the same condition as those stipulated for those students who leave to work on the farm.
With reference to excusing men of the several schols of the University from regular work to enable them to participate in drill and other forms of military work now being offered at universities, following regulations are agreed upon:
a. These students who enroll for the drill only are to be excused from no regular work in courses, excepting the usual gymnasium work required of freshmen students.
b. Those students who enroll for the drill and for one and one-half or two hours work in the special classes on alternate days when drill is not given for the group in which the individual may be placed, the total time thus given to the military work being reduced by a quarter may be excused for the remainder of the remainder of the semester from course of not more than three hours credit.
c. Those students who are carrying the maximum of work offered in the military classes, and who are studying for the examination for the Officers Reserve Corps under the U. S. Army or are enlisted in units of the State Military Forces, must pass the examination for Provisional Second Lieutenant in the U. S. Army, may be excused for the remainder of the semester from courses of six hours credit. It is understood that students in this group should have made application to the proper army authorities for the examinations in question. Students must release from class work in regular courses.
Just Take a Look-d. Those students who have signed enlistment papers for enrollment in the Enlisted Reserve corps for service as mechanics, electricians, operators, in aviation or construction, or batant branches of the Army, or who have signed cards which make them subject to call under the U.

Coach Hamilton Takes Mile, 2
Mile and 4-Mile Teams to
Des Moines
Captain Rodkey, O'Leary, Sproull, Welsh, McHale, Stateter, Groeine, and Howland will be taken to the Drake Relay games at Des Moines Saturday, Coach W. O. Hamilton announced this morning. Manager Hamilton denied four relays because he took four mile relay and he took two more men than he at first planned.
Howland, Groene, Stateler, and either Sproull, Rocky, or Murphy will run in the four mile relay. Rodky, O'Leary, Sproull, and Welsh will run in the four mile relay teams entered in the four mile relay than in any other event in the meet.
Murphy, Rodkey, Sproull, and Welsh or Stateler will run in the two mile relay. This team appears to have won every race, so we meet Saturday because it will be the first race on the program, while in the other races some of the K. U. men will be running their second race and we usually not make as a good showing.
Many of the best schools in the Big Nine will have teams entered in the meet and practically all of the teams in the Missouri Valley will run. More than ten teams are entered in the mile race nearly as many in the two mile relay.
In the two mile relay the Kansas runners will probably make the winner cover the distance in less than eight minutes. In the four mile relay the distance is made by making the distance in 18:18. The mile relay team may be weakened by the fact that O'Leary has not been able to work out for more than a week.

U. party with no outside guests."
In the receiving line will be: Chancellor and Mrs. Strong, Mrs. F. D. Tharpe, Miss Katherine Fogarty and Frank Gage.

ORIENTAL LIGHTING EFFECT
The managers have devised a model scheme for the checking of hats and coats. On the track above the dancing floor has been placed long strings of hooks. The men can hang their wraps and pass on without causation. The men each man will know where his wraps are without waiting in line for them.
ORIENTAL LIGHTING EFFECT
The decoration of the gym was delayed by the concert of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra yesterday but decorations were practically all up. Japanese lanterns hung from the ceiling, giving the oriental effect on the main floor.
DEBATERS PRIMED FOR M. U
There was a long line waiting for tickets today. There have been a number of eleventh-hour dates made and from all indications more than 500 students will dance tonight at the big party.
Kansas Team Leaves for Columbia Monday to Argue Nationally Important Question
H. Merle Smith, c'18, Alfred B. Richmond, c'17, and Charles H. Dewey, c'19, will leave next Monday morning for Columbia to debate for Kansas against Missouri. The debatable question concerns compulsory investigation of industrial disputes. Kansas will take the negative.
All of the men representing Kansas have had experience in previous intercollegiate debates. Merle Smith, captain of the team, was on the K. U., and he also had experience years ago. In the debates with Missouri since 1910 Kansas has won four decisions to Missouri's two. Missouri has strong material this year, as was shown by the debate won from Tecumseh, brought up on the question of Single Tax.
The question of investigation of industrial disputes before a strike or lockout has been declared, is of vital interest owing to the recent threatened railway strike that was averted mainly because of the oncoming war. Canada will be involved in Canada for nine years and has recently been adopted by Colorado.
The judges for the debate have not been selected. A list has been submitted to Missouri from which they will select three.

THIRTY FRENCH BABIES
SUPPORTED BY THIS CITY
Thirty French war babies are now being taken care of by the people of Lawrence, according to a statement made this morning by an officer in charge of the relief fund. Most of the donations, at the rate of ten cents a day, were made for the period of a year.
STATE Y.W.C.A. WORKERS COME FOR CONFERENCE
"It costs only ten cents a day to feed a baby," says Miss Edith Snow, chairman of the relief committee. "We have received a number of donations from clubs, fraternities, and other organizations that more students contribute to the fund. Donations of any amount from dimes to dollars will be thankfully received."
More Than 150 Delegates Have Registered for the Three Days' Convention
Y. W. C. A. workers from every state and denominational school in Kansas will be here tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday for the annual state conference of college associations. One hundred and forty-eight delegates have registered with the K. U. association.
Among the leaders of the conference are Miss Marcia O. Dunham, executive secretary of the West Central Field Committee, Miss翠拉 Field Committee, and secretary of the department of method of the National Board, Mrs. Reed McClure, secretary for the student volunteer movement. Miss Lucy Y. Riggs, and Miss Elvira J. Slack, assistant secretaries of the Field Committee.
The problems of the small college and the state institution will be discussed at the round table meetings. A banquet will be given for the delegates by the K. U. association at Plymouth College and by the University night. They will visit the University and Haskell institute Saturday afternoon.

Kansas Professor Appointed by Defense Council on Committees of Food Regulation and Control
Prof. S. J. Hunter, head of the department in the University, has been appointed on two committees of the Food Production and one on Insect Control, affecting food crops and products. These committees will be called soon soon and the work are increased as a general defense plan of the state.
Orders to hold the department in readiness for aid in the nation-wide campaign on food conservation were received today by Professor Hunter Burton, honorary chief of the Bureau of Entomology, Department of Agriculture.
CAMP COOKING IS POPULAR
Ten men have invaded the department of home economics to receive instruction in the course in camp cookery. Believing there are three kinds of army cooking, Dr. James Patterson, a senior Economics Club last Thursday, suggested a class in camp cookery be organized.
"This makes it necessary for me to enlist members in the department of entomology and also advanced students in this co-operation with the state and federal governments," said Professor Hunter today. This will involve measures to prevent insect crops, and to preserve stored grain. Mr. Hunter has been collaborator for the Federal Department of Agriculture since 1912, and is state entomologist.
Class Opens Monday Evening And Ten Men Revel in the Culinary Art
Culinary Art
Robert Mason, who quit school a ew weeks ago to take a position with he Santa Fe, will return for the Hop" tonight.
The first class was held Monday night, and will meet twice a week as long as the men are not called to the colors. In these classes instruction will be given by Miss Sybil Woodruff who will often fill in the art of cooking and inform us beginning the selection of foods to secure a properly balanced ration.
The Weather
Fair and continued cool tonight,
probably frost. Saturday warmer.
The recruiting officers of Company M are expecting to be over-run with men desirous of becoming cooks in order to take this course.
Lawrence, Kans.—To the Star: Here we are. We have to get the rudiments of military knowledge, and for what reason, who want
AND THIS FROM AN OLD K. U. MAN!
There are fraternities and clubs and groups of women and men engaging over events with that and the alone view. They have not enlisted and won. Their worst comes to worst they are called in for places. They will not join any military organization and assume real respon-
I've become ashamed of the men who compose this so-called better class.
We regret that Mr. Kamaga chooses to look up the military activity of the University in the above light. He has failed to grasp what the present instruction in military matters means to the young men of the University of Kansas.
For instance, we would suggest that he attend one of the drills some afternoon. Instead of the talk of "becoming officers and non-commissioned officers," which he says he hears, he would see rather "a group of men all intensely interested in 'doing their bit' for the country."
He would see, if he should happen to attend such a drill, men who are taking the country's situation seriously, and who are doing their best to prepare for whatever happens. He would not see, as he says, "men who will not assume real responsibility."
From the College alone, sixty-eight men have already enlisted in the National Guard. Sixty-five more have withdrawn from school to do farm work; and forty-four are taking military drill. This from the College, mind you, from the College alone—with the School of Engineering, the School of Law, and the School of Pharmacy yet to be accounted for. And the totals from these schools will be just as high! Students in the School of Medicine are remaining in the classroom by government orders; and are being rushed to graduation as quickly as possible. To facilitate this, the School of Medicine will be continued all summer.
And then Mr. Kanaiga, who is himself a former student of the University, who was himself a fraternity man at this institution, takes the pains to write to the Kansas City Star to announce that he is "ashamed of the men who compose this so-called better class."
The University cannot but be ashamed that Mr. Kanaga did not look further into the facts. After he has done so, perhaps his opinion of University pat. **dA***m* will undergo a change. At least, he need ask any necessary or airing his opinions in a town forty miles away.
University men are not ashamed to talk face to face with those whom they censure.
NON-UNIVERSITY MEN
FILL RANKS OF CO. M
Boys Who Were on Mexican Border Sign Up Forty-One Outside Men
The Mathematics Club will meet in Room 103, Administration Building, Monday, April 23, at four-thirty. Lewis Hull will talk on "The Planimeter and Rectifier." The planimeter is an instrument used for measuring irregular areas and the rectifier for the length of curves.
The veterans of Company M scattered over the state couldn't stand to see their company call for men and get no response, and so they started a "drive" on their own with most sanguinary results. The recruiting office announced this morning that forty-one non-University men had been killed in combat. Three of these, however, will not take their physical examination and formally enter the company until it is called to the colors.
Math Club to Meet
Sam Carpenter of Coffeyville takes first honors. Carpenter has already enlisted thirty-one men in his home town, and says he could fill the company. The youth of that city have listened to Carpenter's tales of the Mexican expedition last summer until they are unshaken in their belief that Captain Jones can "out-Hindenburg" any general new in the business. Carpenter has this kind of record of downtown; even the fathers and mothers are asking him to have Captain Jones save a place in Company M for their boys.
Carpenter and five of his recruits made a trip to the University yesterday. These five men were not certain they weighed enough to enter the Guard and wanted to make sure. Fortunately for Company M all of them passed the physical examination and were mustered into the company. The men paid their own expenses here and back. They are: Ivan Kinceleo, Homer Carrington, Ben C. Pickerling, I. Gill, and Charles E. Warders.
BROKE PEACE STRENGTH
Eighty-four men have now passed all examinations and are actually on the roll of the team, an addition to these there are thirty-six men who have signed their first enlistment papers and are only waiting for the call to take their physical examination and join the company.
At the last report there were five men at WaKeeney, Joe Aeres' home town, who have signed their first enlistment papers. Frank Sands of Sedon also has five enlistments for the company.
RECRUITS PASS EXAM
ABOVE PEACE STRENGTH
Only Praises for Work of Artists Who Gave Two Concerts Here Yesterday
Last night's program was decidedly the better of the two, if popular opinion is to be taken as a judge. The two Indian dances by Prof. Charles S. Skilton were given thunderous applause; and the "War Dance" was repeated in response to the demands of his audience. Professor Skilton himself used an unusually large Indian drum during the rendition of his two compositions using an unusually large Indian drum to get the barbaric atmosphere and primitive effect he desired.
SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA SEASON'S BIG SUCCESS
Cornelius van Vllet, an annual favoured with his cello selections, was one of the most famous musicians in the 20th century.
Other orchestra numbers on the evening program which were in favor with the audience were the Kalimnik kwymphy, with its charming syncopation; the "Valse d'Amour" from Max Reger's "Ballet Suite." Op. 43 by Rudolf Schmidt; the poem, "Capriccio Italien," Op. 43 by Tchaikovsky. Richard Czernwonk played two violin numbers in his masterful style.
For five years, now, the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra has visited the University of Kansas each spring. On each preceding occasion, after the band had departed, the Kansan has sung that band's same thing must be done. Symphony music, apparently, is something of which University audiences will never tire—witness the packed auditorium at both concerts yesterday—especially such music as Emil Oberhoffer's organization has for five years been giving.
BARITONE DID NOT APPEAR
Royal Dadmun, on the program for a Verdi aria, was unable to sing last night, and his place was taken by Warren Proctor, tenor, who sang a selection from "Fauaut." Marie Kai-Larsson, from Gorilla, Michela's airline from "Carmine" and responded to an encore with Cadman's "Land of the Sky Blue Water."
NIGHT PROGRAM BETTER
"The best concert yet" is what professors and townpeople were heard to say last night as they left Robinson Gymnasium. "I've never missed a concert since they started coming here, and each one seems more charming than the last." Students who have been in the University three and a half years in their praises. And the freshman more, attending perhaps for the first time a symphony concert, could only marvel: 'Gee! Was it great!"

SENATE PILES EXTRA WORK
ON STUDENTS WHO CRIB
Two more students have been punished by the University Senate disciplinary committee for dishonest work in examinations. One sophomore engineer who cheated in a Physics I course, has been failed and suspended for two hours, while a pharmic student who cheated in an Economics I class has been failed in this course and must pass in four hours' additional credit.
Plain Tales from the Hill
One young man in the audience last night had a keen sense of rhythm. He was chewing gum. And he kept perceptive, green eyes toffer's baton without missing a beat.
Special investigator in the advertising department of the Capper Publishing Company—that's what Miss Mildred Eppard is. And moreover she is assistant to Marco Morrow, who is one of the main moguls of the United States.

After every one was seated in convoitation this morning, one girl was heard asking another, "Where's her? The answer." She waited for the boy to be shown out the "date" to her friend. He was sitting peacefully besides another girl.

Well, Professor Dykstra was telling all about this system when Ames Rogers began to foment a lot of objections to such a scheme. Finally, you open up with this cannonade: "We opened up that every day. Now for instance. You call up one sorority girl for a date and if you don't get it you just keep right on calling up until you land one. Now don't you? "
The preferential ballot will now be discussed. It is a system whereby a pep vote assigns for his favorite politic-ist first choice. And so on ad infinitum.
PRACTICE EVERY DAY NOW
"And every rehearsal must be a dress rehearsal," said Coach Mac Murray in a positive tone of voice that means just what it said. "We could go ahead tomorrow and give this play—and it would 'get across'—but we want a finished product when next Wednesday rolls around. There are a rough edge that need polishing, and I hope there are ones on IF I Were Dean there won't be better any better senior play ever presented here."
Final Rehearsals For "If I Were Dean" are Taking off Rough Edges
“Every day over the week end.” Such were the directions for rehearsal given the cast of the Senior play at the regular practice yesterday afternoon.
The plot and the story of the play as well as the nature of the characters have been kept strictly in the script, one thing that has been let out is that the play portrays K. U, life and the spirit of the students and faculty.
The advance ticket sale has proved satisfactory, a large number of both student and faculty members having taken advantage of the offer to get tickets. The students arrive at the ticket board opens tomorrow at the Round Corner Drug store.
"There are places in the play where every student will recognize his favorite professor and his pet idea as to why he should play," said Roy Davidson, manager of the play. Every line has a laugh. The funny side, of course predominates, but there is a strain of seriousness running throughout the play that shows how much we are sitting on the part of the author of the nature of conditions at the University.
Notice To Students
Two new companies for military drill are now being formed. The men who have enrolled the last few days and who have drilled only one or twice will be based on bases of new units, and students are expected to come in. Freshmen are expected especially to join.

Every Person Should Serve Country Where He Can Be Most Efficient
Answering the recent criticism that students of colleges and universities in this country are slackers, Chancellor Strong said this morning at convoction that the United States example of England in the war and the best and most scientific men to the front among the first contingent.
"England made a great mistake at the start of the war by sending her highest trained men and scientists to the front which she realizes now," said the Chancellor, "and the university men of this country are tempted to do the same thing. Many of these men were killed but as soon as the enemy attacked telkul drew the remainder. This initial blunder has crippled in contending with the present German submarine campaign.
Aliens Must Have Rights If We Preserve Americanism
SCIENTISTS WILL WIN WAR
SCIENTISTS WILL WIN WAR
"The present war is a scientific one; a battle in which scientists are pitted against them, and this country needs to have its men for the many problems back home instead of at the front. President Wilson has said that these men must be saved and the government has sent word to the School of Medicine at the University that it should go on and prepare men for work the same as in normal times."
The Chancellor pointed out the part which K. U. should take in the war saying that it was eminently necessary that the schools of the nation be placed in as normal a condition as possible, but it was not a normal condition and that after the war we would have to return to regular conditions.
COLLEGES TO RESTORE NATIONS
"The schools, colleges and universities of this country should act as centers of civilization after the war and they will be in much better condition to do this if they are kept running now in as normal a way as possible. The colleges in England are now practically deserted but we must make the mistake of closing all institutions before learning. There are 600 or 700 colleges and universities in this country. The work of remaking and restoring the nation after the war will fall to a great extent upon these schools.
The Chancellor said that next year would probably see the University of Kansas continuing in as normal a condition as possible with a decreased enrollment but about the (Continued on page 2)

FRIDAY,APRIL 20,1917
Foor Richard Sayn?
Stickier than a jungle, it differs badly, but infuriantly easy.
CHANCELLOR'S SPEECH
An important point in the Chancellor's speech this morning and one every student who is contemplating withdrawing from the University should consider seriously is the part that the University man or woman must take in restoring the nation after the war is over. All trained men must be saved to this work that the United States can take its place efficiently in the war, the new world after the war and that there may be freedom for all.
ENLISTMENT
Should the college man hurry to enlist?
This question is commanding columns of space in various school dailies throughout the country and college speakers are dwelling at length upon the subject in an effort to map out a just course for the patriotic college man.
Thorough consideration of the question makes it seem hardly advisable for the college man to enlist at this time. If he has the ability to pass an officer's examination and cares to do so, he should not hesitate but every college man cannot be an officer. Some must help fill the privates' ranks and these men should not shatter their college career by taking a rapid hurdle into the ranks of enlisted men. Plenty of time remains for the all important step. The student should carefully consider whether he cannot be of more service to his country in some field other than the army; whether he has some dependents whom he should not forsake. He should consider his position carefully and then act wisely. Few have had time for such consideration yet and still fewer have acted coolly. In most instances a patriotic parade, the playing of a national air, or the sight of a uniform has been the deciding factor.
The college men will probably all have to go and should be ready if there is a call but they should not be wildly enthusiastic about the step. They should know every feature of their particular situation, know their responsibilities, and opportunities—then act. Without such consideration and realization of their true situation, their step cannot be considered a wise one such as college men should take.
ONE MORE CHANCE
The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra has come and gone; its praises have been loudly sung; and still there are students who ask, "What was the sense to all that stuff?"
They refuse, absolutely, to attend such concerts; and rail loudly that
they do not like and do not understand symphony music.
And so the thing goes on, year after year, and a large proportion of the students pass up what has come to be the biggest musical event of the year at K. U. The remainder of the students are wise enough to go; they learn to appreciate a seldom heard variety of music—the symphony; and come away sweetened and enobled by it.
The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra will be at the University, under the auspices of the Schol of Fine Arts, May 10. "Now is the time" for students who have thus far failed to appreciate symphony music to have a real treat.
A PATRIOTIC STUDENT
There was a student whose policy was never to do today what he could put off 'till tomorrow. In the early part of the term he slid along quite easily, but after pulling through the mid-semester quizzes by much cramming, he was haunted by visions of finals and term reports which loomed ahead with a foreboding aspect. The student for the first time began to think, and his thoughts were on how he could get by.
Then came the war and the ruling that all students who left the University for any patriotic service whatever, would receive their semester's credit.
The problem was solved. The student withdrew and went back home to farm,—for patriotism's sake.
KEEP IT GOING
Each alumnus should tie a string around his thumb and mutter to himself, "Lest I forget! Lest I forget!"
That's what the alumni of Wyandotte County did—figuratively speaking. They organized into a K. U. club to garner up sentiment in favor of the Income Bill. They took a solemn oath to make a study of the University of Kansas and to learn its needs.
"But," say the alumni in Hutchinson, Wichita, Parsons, Paola, Paola, and all points south, east, north, and west, "we want to help out with that affair. Can't we do some chores for our Alma Mater?"
Certainly! Why not follow the example of the Wyandotte alumni? Organize into clubs and try to put the matter before the voters in the different sections of the state.
And seniors, just as sure as the sun will rise in the morning, you will be alumni some day. So make up some plan to find out how you can help the alumni to help themselves.

Book Reviews
Let this mountain maid Be remade again. Like the balls remade.
Such is Mr. Fassett's rendering of the popular Andalusian song which suggested the plot of Malvaloca to the Quinteros. The story of Malvaloca (mallow flower), "the fortunate woman whose life has not sulted the purity of her soul—which remains pure white like snow—is one whose appeal never fails." Let it not be supposed, however, that Malvaloca is just another one of those women who have sung a familiar song by Pinero, Jones and Shaw. She is as different from these as the manner of the Quintero brothers is different from that of Guimera and Echegaray.
On the呼叫 the translation is adequate, smooth and convincing. It is regrettable more use was not made of the happy expedient of following the untranslatable word "alpargatas" by a brief explanatorial passage from one of the name of the convent bell, "La Goldrina" (song swallow), which might have saved us from mystification at seeing "Volandero" (Nestling) balancing the English "Swells." The conscious effort of the translator is apparent when we note he has read immediately the interjections except "Caramba".
Malvalaote, though not their best play, was selected no doubt because, shortly after its production in April, 1912, the Quinteros were seated among the thirty-six immortals of the Spanish Academy. They possibly might have found more readers in America, if they had been introduced by Pepita Reyes, a play which raises, but does not answer, the question of whether a woman could marry or take up office. Malvalaote is at least pleasant, though it does not more than hint at the popular farces that have made the Quintero brothers Madrid's favorite fun-makers of two decades.
John Garrett Underbill needs no recommendation to those who have seen his translation of Benavent's The Bond of Interest (Los Intereses Cresidos). All students, in many cases, will profit by his Introduction, which, with possibly one exception, is the only creditable article in English on the Quinteros. Some may disagree with him when he names Galdos, rather than Gani- as the leading character in the "generation of '98." He very properly remarks that the Quintero prefer to write in the Andalusian dialect, "a softened form of Spanish, bearing a relation to the Castilian analogous to that in which Spain stands in the States stand to literary English, though vastly more corrupt.
Spanisants will welcome this translation of Malvalca because they will be glad to have people read of a real Spanish foundryman and the real wife of a sugar refiner, instead of a man under a big hat, and a women with a tumourine. The reading public will be glad of a variant at a time when the Irish minister is still allied of the provincial drama. The three appended pages of notes for the critical study of 'Malvalca' make the play admirably suited for club study.

CRITICS ADMIRE WORK OF WILLARD WATTLES
New York Independent Is t Publish Set of His Poems Shortly
A set of six poems by Willard Wattles, instructor in the department of English, together with a biographical sketch and review of the author's work. The City is to appear in an early issue of the "New York Independent."
These poems are part of a series that Mr. Wattles has been working on since 1910. They are an attempt to materialize the character and personality of Jesus in such a way that his divine nature is more easily comprehended. This series, so far largely circulated in manuscript, has already brought the author warm, personal encouragement. Dr. Lyman Brown, Stuart Walker, Dr. Lyman Brown, John Burroughs, and other prominent American authors. Many of these poems already have been published in the "Independent," "The Springfield Republican," and "The Christian Register."
A number of these religious poems are to be printed in a forthcoming collection of poems of the life of Jesus soon to be issued under the auspices of the publication department of the National Board of the Young Women's Christian Association.
At the request of Hamilton Holt, editor of the "Independent," Harry Kemp, who was a schoolmate of Willard Wattles in Kansas, has written a review of his friend's work to appeal to the new poems in the "Independent."
Among other recent verse by Mr. Wattles is a "Satire on the Braithwaite Anthology for 1916," printed by Harriet Monroe in the April issue of "Poetry, a Magazine of Verse." Tom Daly of the "Philadelphia Evening" newspaper said, "the most arresting and poignant poem in the issue." William Stanley Braithwaite is to reprint the satire in his critical anthology to be issued this month; and other verse and prose by the Kansas poet will appear in early issues of The Poetry Trilogy. He also wrote a tasteful address on "Democracy and the Poet," given by Mr. Wattles February 26 before the Men's Current Tionnes Club of Iola.
willard Wattles will spend this summer at the MacDowell Memorial Colony, Peterborough, New Hampshire. While there he read a series of religious poems which are to be printed in book form this fall.

PRAISE FOR K. U. CHEMISTS
A more than "bread and butter" letter has been received by Prof. W. A. Whitaker of the department of chemistry, from Dr. Julius Steilglitz, president of the American Chemical Society, met in Kansas City last week end.

The Kansas Council of Defense has appointed Dean F. W. Blackmar chairman of the committee on public defense. Dean Blackmar and Miss Elizabeth Sprague are both members of the committee on utilization and econom-
Dean Blackmar's committee will report next week. So far those working on public defense are only getting exact information as to conditions.
"We are settling down to a year's hard work. Don't be in too much of a hurry," said Dean Blackman this spring, referring to the national council of defense, and you may get some idea of the magnitude of the work when you consider that every state is being covered by the council. It is a great organization."
The only committee to report on definite action taken is the emergency committee, which has begun a food, seed, and labor census of the country, as well as questionnaires on agricultural conditions to 5,000 representative citizens throughout the entire state. The answers will determine the amount of seed required for its cultivation, and the amount of seed needed to plant it.

They are human that bunch. They smoke cigars like any one else and really smile. They do wear dress suits but alleviate all pain of the wearing with common street shoes. He conductor, he talks. But too many folks like to talk to him. He started on college audiences.
"I am getting used to Lawrence," he said between interruptions. "We always choose a different program for the course and teach it on our tour. The college audience knows what we are playing better than the average audience students in the city, and the pleasure of hearing us play; college students like to study the music."
That was the longest time he talked during the evening. Some one else came in and he turned to them. Some one else happened to be two women students. He kidded them. Something awful. And got away with it. Then some one else came up and he was gone.
Cornelius Van Vliet is always smiling. He had that smile last year and he played violin last year. He smiles while he plays. And to show his artistic temperament he smiled a smile of worry when the Hull whistle blew while he was play-

He brought up the question of withdrawals for work on the farm and said that this was for a good cause in most cases but he hoped no students would be so disloyal to the farm. He had drawn from K. U. on a filmy pretense. He said this work on the farm was as essential as the fighting which had to be done on the fighting line.

The urgent need for workers in the Red Cross survey to be conducted in Lawrence tomorrow morning was explained by the Chancellor. If Russia is disorganized by the present revolution America may have to take up arms against this war and it will mean a huge amount of work for the Red Cross society.
URGENT NEED FOR BED CROSS
"We must treat citizens of foreign birth fairly in this war if we want this country to be all American after the war is over," continued the Chancelor, "we must not stop industry and not mistake hoarding for conserving. Citizens who buy in great quantities boost prices and make it more difficult to buy." People in Belgium are in about the same condition as workers who have to live in settlement districts of big cities.
"The war may bring revolution in many of our industrial and political ideas in the United States and many things may be changed in this country after the war. It seems most probable that the power of the Federal government will be greatly weakened, as would that of the weak and poorly managed state governments, which we people in the University are so familiar with, will be adjusted to the increased power of a Federal government."

PAN HELLENIC GAME GOES EXTRA INNINGS
S. A. E. Wins 13-Inning Game From A. T. D.; Kappa Sigs Beat Phi Gams
The Sig Alphs won from the Alpha Taus yesterday afternoon by a 4 to 3 score in a thirteen inning game, and the Kappa Sigs won from the Phi Gams by a 16 to 5 score in a five inning game.
The Sig Alph-Alpha Tau clash was by far the longest, closest, and hardest fought Pan-Hellenic game this season. It was intended to be a seven inning game, but the Alpha Taus tied the score in the last half of the sixth by making three runs, and seven more innings were necessary before the Sig Alphs broke into the scoring list again for one run.
The winning score was made in the first half of the thirteenth inning when Ray Davis connected for a two-run homer and then scored a bat and cracked out another hit, scoring Davis. The Sig Alph rooters simply went wild. The Alpha Tau failed to score a run in their turn at home, but he caught a runner as far as third base.
Wilson, the Alpha Tau pitcher, succeeded in fanning twelve players while theAlpha Tau pitcher scored eleven. Wilson allowed eight hits while Cook allowed but five.
The Sig Alph lineup was: Davis, c; Cook, p; Lindsey, 1b; Noel, 2b; Bell, 3b; Mandeville, ss; Gray, Jf; Stodder, d; Haddock and Jones, rf. The Alpha Tau lineup was: Gibson, b; Gibson, b; K. Dodderidge, 3b; Baker, sp; Spencer, f; Benton, p; D. Dodderidge and Rinker, rf.
The Kappa Sig-Phi Gam clash was a hit and run affair for the Kappa Sigs. The Phi Game made five runs in the first inning but did not score again. The Kappa Sigs scored three runs in the first inning, one in the second, three in the third, four in the fourth, and five in the fifth.
Carder, the Kappa Sig pitcher, allowed but four hits while Wright, the Phi Gam pitcher, allowed a total of eleven. The Kappa Sig lineup was: Cook; c, Carder; p, Good and Jones; 1b, Carter; b, Craig; 2b, Schroer; 3b, Iff, 1f, Rich; f, Fink and Idle. r, The Phi Gam lineup was Eagan, c, Wright; p, Craig; 1b, Miller; 2b, Schroers; 3b, Hardman, ss, Friend; i, Pausch; c, Carter, rf.

The Jayhawk baseball nine will not have a game this week end according to an announcement by Mgr. W. O. Hamilton this morning. He received a letter yesterday from Nebraska saying it would be impossible to play the Jayhawkers this week Kansas will play two games with Nebraska, next Wednesday and Thursday on McCook Field.
The Varsity game has not had a matched game this week and has been spending the time playing practice games with the freshmen. Yesterday afternoon they did not play the entire afternoon in batting. Lefty Sproull and Chuck Chase did the pitching to the batters.
A great many of the Varsity players did not show up at the practice because several of the squad played with their fraternity brothers and a few of them were out in the Gymnasium. Only about ten players were out to practice.
Potys freshmen did not have a practice game either, but had some "pep practice," as Potys calls it. In this sort of practice a few players danced and played fifteen feet away, and the batter tries to knock the ball through the players.
There were only a few freshmen out to the regular freshman practice as the majority of the players were playing in the fraternity games or at the entertainment in Robinson Gymnasium.
Potys has a bad looking finger which was injured in the Varsity-freshman practice Wednesday. He will probably lose the finger on his hand if finger is hit the right against. A pitched ball hit his finger against the bat.

afternoon. He got four hits in four times up, and also made four runs. One of his hits was a three baser.
The Hash House baseball teams will battle again tomorrow on Hamilton Field. About ten teams probably will play. The next Pan-Hellenic games will be played Tuesday between the Acacias and Phi Kappa Alphas, and between the Phi Kappa Pisis and Sigma Chis.
"Those students who desire credit for gymnastium work under the 'enlistment privilege' and who are taking any but regular class work, should bring a statement covering this work to the department head at once," Prof. Charles B. Harrison said this morning. He said this statement was part of an annual track, baseball, work, or any other activity for the regular gymnastium work, and should be signed by the coach in charge or the employer.
KANSAS TRACK TEAM GOES TO DRAKE MEET
Drake, Ames, and Missouri Are All Strong Competitors for Honors
The Kansas relay teams left this morning for the Drake games held at Des Moines, Iowa, Saturday. Captain Rodkey, Howland, Sproul, Staller, O'Leary, Groene, Welsh, and Murphy were taken on the trip. Coaches Potsy Clark and W. O. Hamilton accompanied the men.
The K. U. team will run in the two-mile relay, which is the first college relay on the program, and in either the four-mile or mile relay, depending on the condition of the K. U. men to have to run two races with in an hour.
Some of the men are not in the best condition because of bad weather which has prevented working out and is responsible for a slow track on McCook Field, coaches say. The two mile team appears to be the best and will have an advantage in running the first race.
Drake, Ames, and Missouri will be the strongest competitors the Kansas runners will have in the meet. Illinois, Chicago, and Wisconsin will be among the teams entered from the Western Conference. University of Missouri, will referee. More than three hundred teams have entered
Simpson of Missouri will make his monthly appearance, running the quartermile with the mile-relay team. Pittam, who ran so well against Kansas in the dual meets, will not be with the Missouri team.
ENTOMOLOGISTS MAKE KAW
VALLEY POTATO SURVEY
Under the plan of co-operation with the State Council of Defense and the Federal Department of Agriculture, P. W. Claassen and Walter Wellhouse of the department of entomology are making a survey of the Kaw valley with reference to the potato situation. They will determine if there is enough spraying materials to protect the potato plants against pests or the use of the pest destroyers, so that the potato crop may be pushed to the utmost.
The conditions of alfalfa, wheat,
and soybeans are important for the
department of entomology
"I am advising against the planting of corn in wheat fields that are plowed up," said Prof. S. J. Hunter, head of the department, today, "because there are likely to be so many chinch burgs in our fields that muchly planted corn. Cane, kaffir corn, feteria, and potatoes are much better crops for such fields."

Men Withdrawn to Enlist in Military Units or to do National Service
The action of the Senate in putting down the lid on further withdrawals because of the reported exodus of students to the farms to help with agricultural returns. Of the 177 men and one woman of the College who have taken advantage of the Chancellor's action by withdrawing from school, nine were returning to the farm. Of these sixty-five, one is a woman. Sixty-eight are enlisted men. And forty-two have dropped part of their work to take the military training courses. They have made the places of other enlisted men.

Spring Elections Are Near At Hand—Council Calls for
Petitions
Out of the big crush of war talk on the Hill, a low hum of political gossip is sounding. The hum must soon grow into full grown noise of a political campaign because petitions must be filed for the Men's Student Council election by 6 o'clock next Thursday, April 21.
The election of cheerleader, president, vice-president, and secretary of the Student Council, seven councilmen from the College, four from the engineering, two from the Law, and one each from the Medical, Pharmacy, and Graduate Schools. Five student members of the Athletic Board will also be elected, and the special officers are the various schools. Students from the different schools must file petition signed by 25 electors and the officers with 75 signers, with the president of the Men's Student Council.

Applications of men who will attend the officers reserves corps training camp at Fort Riley, beginning May 8, should be handed to W. B. Cobb, '199, who has been authorized to receive them. This matter will be handled by Mr. Cobb in office where Mr. Cobb may be found any afternoon from 2:30 o'clock.
"I want to impress the need of haste on everyone who wishes to make application for the training camp," Mr. Cobb said this morning, "for all applications must go to the authorities and be sent back before the eighth of May. The only examination that will be given is physical. The applicant must be examined here and at Fort Riley."
PREFER THOSE WITH TRAINING
PREFER THOSE WITH TRAINING
The applications of the men who have passed the reserve officers examination will be given the first consideration by the authorities. Others who are eligible are men who have had cadet work or some other valuable military training. Efforts are being made by Chancellor Strong and Dean Walker to have the men being done here by the war board receiving as cadre training, and it is expected that those training here will be allowed to take the reserve corps training.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 23, 1917.
This work requires three months of intensive training, the first month being spent in infantry drill by all those in the camp. The last two months the men will spend in specializing themselves for work in their choice of infantry, cavalry, field or coast artillery or in the engineering corps.

HALEY'S MARIMBA BAND
MAKES HOP A SUCCESS
One-hundred and fifteen couples danced to the time of Haley's latest tunes at the Hop in Robinson Gym Friday night. Manager Kennett Bella said late this afternoon that complete figures and the amount that would be given to the Red Cross could not be announced today.
Haley's twelve piece marimba band was one redeeming feature of the dance. Upper classman who attended are of the opinion that in every respect except the music the Hop this year did not begin to compare with those of previous years. The farce was a farce in the fullest sense of the word "adult" workspicuously scant compared with other years. Manager Bell explained this by saying he attempted to keep the expenses as low as possible so that the contribution to the Red Cross would be large.

MANY VISITORS ATTEND Y.W. STATE CONFERENCE
Washburn Has Largest Delegation—K. S, A. C. Representative, Pennsylvania
tatives Furnish Music
The Y. W. C. A. conference for college associations in the state of Kansas was attended by 165 delegates from other colleges of the state. The first meeting of the session was held Friday evening in Myers Hall. The leader, Miss Louise Holmquist, is the executive secretary of the Department of Law, the National Holmquist and the New York City. Holmquist was the only member of the executive board who attended the meeting.
The visiting delegates were entertained by members of the association at the University and towns people. A dinner was given for the members Saturday evening at the Parish house in Congregational church. Rasca Hillman presided as tausistmisses. Two hundred guests attended the banquet.
Music was furnished for all the meetings by a girl's octette made up of eight Manhattan students. The group included Susan Washburn who had 25 representatives. The visitors were given the opportunity to visit the University and Haskell Institute, a part of Saturday institution was set as recreation hour.
The conference was planned by Miss Lucy Y. Riggs, Student Secretary of the Field Committee, and a member of the Lawrence Association.
Sweet Young Thing Just Must Mail Her Letter
In order to get the proper slant on this story, you must know that Uncle Sam has a post office in Fraser Hall where stamps and various other government commodities are dispensed for cash.
This same post office is extensively patronized by our co-eads who bring their rainbow tinted missives here to be conveyed by Uncle Sam to parishioners and some other people with which this narrative has nothing to do.
the particular point to note in this story is the surprising length of time consumed in mailing one of these letters. The sweet young thing is going out to the window and something like the following conversation takes place:
A period of sixty seconds is consumed in a frantic search for the necessary change. Add another frame for the search, or place for the placing of the stamps on the letters. All this time the s.y.t has remained firmly intrenched in front window, frustrating all attempts to book the matching professor to mail his letter.
"Oh dear, isn't this wind awful to today, I thought never would get here, and I am late to my class now. Let me give you two and a one. Oh no, that won't give me seven twos and a one. I never was any good in mathematics."

"IF I WERE DEAN" CAST BUSY KEEPING STILL
There's a Naughty Rally, and a Stenographer Talking Like Billy Sunday—Wait
Censorship has been drawn tightly around the senior play, "If I Were Dean," They—the cast, the producer, the author and those few students and faculty members who have seen the rehearsals won't tell—or aren't allowed to tell. All we really know is that the play is to be at the Howerd stage, the April 19th day the manager of the play told us that the seat sale was the largest at this stage of the game than for many years previous.
Like a symphony, "If I Were Dean," has a theme running through it. The naughty rally is the theme. And then, of course, there is a love story—in fact, two of them. They are pretty romances, both of them. So true to life. The main participators quarrel and make-up.
And from there everything is conserved. We have to talk in a general way.
And it is going to be funny—not this Charlie Chapla funniness—but humor that shows thought and careful study of the persons told on. But it isn't all humor—not by about two acts. There are some mighty impressive scenes. Which brings us to the cast.
Stenographers usually have nice times—also nice names. The stenographer in this play has both. Fan, candy gum and powders her nose like all the things she talks with. She talks like Billy Sunday. She works in the Dean's office. Now we should speak of the plot. Her censorship forbids. Wait until West.

STUDENTS LIST HOMES FOR RED CROSS WORK
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Information Concerning Volunteer Work and Conservation Asked of 4,000 Families
Sixty-five University students took part in the house to house survey made under the auspices of the Red Cross Society in Lawrence, Saturday, 4.400 houses were visited and survey cards were filled out for each house.
"Students who took part were enthusiastic over the survey and collected the information with interest," said Prof. M, C. Eimer, who conducted the survey. "Their work was made harder because of the small number who volunteered for the survey. Each student had on the average five blocks to cover and the work took the entire day instead of the morning as was intended. One girl was so interested that she did not stop with her assessee but moved about 175 houses. I have not been able to tabulate the results but on looking over the cards hurriedly, good data seems to have been collected."
Blanks answering fourteen questions were filled out for each family. There were two groups of questions. One group concerned the relief and support of families who could do. This information was desired as a part of the nation wide movement for conservation. The other group of questions was about diseases and the children in the family. The data compiled by these question will be used for Baby Week in May, which will be Professor Elmer is managing.
"The people of Lawrence for the most part answered the questions willingly," said Professor Elmer. "They were almost unanimous in offering to do any kind of work to help. A few persons refused to answer the questions because they were solicited last week for membership by the Red Cross organization. Some of the canvassers thought certain persons would not answer because they sympathized with the Germans."
Miles of Electric Wires and Thou sands of Contacts Will Replace
REWIRE FRASER PIPE ORGAN
Work has been started on the rewiring of the pipe organ in Fraser Chapel. Several miles of electric wires will be installed, together with a cable that entails thousands of electric contacts.
The pipe organ was installed eighteen years ago, and was one of the first organs with electric action built in this country. Rewiring is one of the major installations; its installation was made when the knowledge of electric action was rather limited. Since that time many improvements that are to be greatly desired in the way of facilities for playing the organ have been brought out.
FRENCH CLASSES OPENED
More than a week will be necessary to finish the work on the organ. Before the war, the cost of installation will have been a few years ago. It would have been a few years ago.
In Case Soldiers Should Go Abroad,
They Must Learn Foreign
"Should it be necessary to send American troops abroad, authorities will find it absolutely imperative that at least a portion of the men know how to express their needs and inquiries to our troops. French so that they will not together helpless in a strange land," said Professor Galloo this morning.
Languages
The department of romance languages is therefore offering a course in rudiments of conversational French to students interested fit themselves to aid their country. At present several students have signed up for the course and the possibility of such a class is assured. It will be as long as is considered necessary.
PROF. SKIDMORE LEAVING K. U. FOR U. OF ARIZONA
This class will also be of benefit to any students who are intending to enlist in the Red Cross service and in the path to follow the troops to France.
Prof. Mark Skidmore, of the department of Romance languages, will leave the University at the end of the semester for the University of Arizona, where he will have charge of the department of French.

K, U. WILL NOT ABANDON
GERMAN NEXT SEMESTER
The faculty of the department of German is not afraid that the teaching of the German language in the University will be abandoned. Notwithstanding the attitude of the people against the Germans, the students still continue to attend their classes in this language.
The department may be cut down for next year if the military draft bill is passed by Congress, but it will not be so affected as those departments and schools which contain large numbers of men. No definite action is expected until the end of this semester.

Katherine Reding went along to share the breakfast. After a long hike they opened the basket and found rocks and sticks reposing in the basket instead of eats. No breakfast was served.
And now Warren is trying to hush the first, woman editor-in-chief by offering a bribe of a dinner la a la Eldridge.
It is an actual fact that a University man tried to buy a two-cent stamp from the K. U. post-office on the in-place of a penny and a penny today and a penny tomorrow.
Tadpoles have hearts... That's thoughtful. And they always have thyroid glands. That's optional of course, but the main point is that they grow quickly. That's why Tadpole's heart is necessary to his life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
Well, the first went forth in the department of biology to remove the thyroid glands of fifty tadpoles. One man toilet diligently over his half-head, but but there was something wrong. Yea, awful wrong. All his patients died.
And then he discovered that he had not extracted the thyroids but the hearts. The tadpoles felt so bad about it that they "up and died."
BUGS AS COSTLY AS WAR
Entomologists Urge Students to Help Stop Loss to Crops From Insect Pests
WORLD WAR TO BE WON BY AMERICAN FARMER
The department of entomology has started a movement to help conserve the food supply of the country by educating the public on the eradication of injurious insects.
"The annual loss due to insects in the United States is enormous," Prof. S. J. Hunter said. "If this were saved, it would equal the enormous war appropriation bill of seven billion dollars pending in Congress. By the tax mechanism, raising this large sum it will take fifty years for the people to pay it."
To the above loss must be added the cost of fighting the insect pests, which amounts into millions. Prof. P. W. Claassen told one of his classes this morning that students of entomology could help a great deal in reducing this loss by giving the best preventive methods to their home communities. He will lecture every Friday to his classes on the best methods to combat the common injurious insects.
George Murphy, c. e'14, has accepted a position with the firm of Harger Lute Baten geologists of Tulsa Oklaho who will have his headquarters in Tulsa.
President H. J. Waters Urges Back to Farm Movement at Conservation Meeting
MUST GIVE UP LUXURIES
Wasters and Food-Hogs Partly to Blame for High Cost of Living
"The winning of the present war rests upon the American farmer," said H. J. Waters, president of the Kansas State Agricultural College and chairman of the State Council of Defense, in a mass meeting of all Lawrence churches in Robinson Gymnasium last night.
UNIVERSITIES CAN HELP
"The European army and people will need food, and there is no one but the American farmer to feed them. To do this, the farmer will do better than he has ever done before. The United States cannot produce more by planning more, because there is not enough labor to take care of present crops."
The only way to care for the crops is to keep the farm laborer on the farm because city men cannot do efficient farm work. We must protect and save what we now have, and do this in the face of what seems to be a next year. Universities and colleges organize to help the farmer fight grasshoppers, chinch bugs and other crop pests that destroy millions of dollars' worth of food each year. The farmer is also sure thatrops that are sure and can be stored for the future, for we may be on war bread before the year is over.
PEOPLE WASTE MUCH
PEOPLE WASTE MUCH
J. D. Bowersock of Lawrence, who also spends the people of the United States wastes $10,000,000 every year, spend $20,000,000 each year for chewing gum, and more than this sum for soft drinks, besides the waste of more than 65,000,000 bushels of grain each year for liquor. Martin, ex governor of the Philippines, will aid the African people must stop the waste in their homes. The rush to store foods in the home does not help the situation, but makes it more serious by raising prices.
FEATURE MAY POLE DANCES
Gym Classes Plan Program of Old Customs Used on May Day
Festivals
Many clever ideas are being worked out by the May Fete committee for the pageants and tableaux to be presented on McCook Field, Tuesday, May 1. For the last week the Y. W. C. A. girls have been working on costumes—gaudy and otherwise—to be worn in the Fete.
May Day, was back in the ages, was originally intended to be celebrated by the May Pole Dance. Gradually this custom has been done away with. Other forms of amusement are planned. But the K. U. M. Fate includes a May Pole Dance by members of gymnasium classes. And another old custom to be observed will be the crowning of the Queen.
But the May Pole舞 is to be enlarged upon and seven of the departments will give dances portraying their representative works and characters. Take for instance the German department.
An old German folk dance in costume will be given on the green on McCook by students from the department of German. In the English department Hamlet and MacBeth will dance with Maud Muller and Juliet.
The history of Speech will be portrayed by the Public Speaking department with a non-speech tableau. The Spirit will parade around the field with the Spirit of 63 and the Spirit of '17 will bring up the procession.
And then they are going to have lots more pageants. This is only a start.
FIRST CLASS IN SPECIAL FRENCH MEETS TONIGHT
The first class in Special French, conducted for men who desire to learn the language as an aid in the present var situation, will be conducted by Professor Galloo in Room 308, Praser dancy applications at seventh-thirty o'clock, dancy applications received by the department of Roemer languages for instruction in both French and Spanish. The Spanish class meeting will be announced later.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University, thereby more than merely printing the news by standing for it, but also playing no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to leave more senior students wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

A GOOD PLAN
CHEERLEADER
Now is the time for everyone to do his share in producing food to provide for the world shortage. At the University of Illinois the fraternities are heeding President Wilson's call for an increased output of food stuffs, and are considering ways and means to secure vacant lots in Champaign and Urbana for immediate planting to potatoes and other garden truck. Kansas could well follow their example.
"The University of Kansas began her spring baseball season on April 5 in a hotly contested game with the Kansas Normals. Although many students had gone home for the Easter vacation, some 500 rooters were present to cheer the Jayhawker nine to victory. This they did, but with a great deal of trouble, for the University cheerleader, as usual, was not on hand."
The Daily Kansan did not, at the time, print the above news story. But now that the University Senate has decided to continue athletics, and that there will soon be another home baseball game, it is time that attention be called to the non-presence of a cheerleader at baseball games. This has been the condition at Kansas for many years; and it is not unlikely that it will continue unless something is done.
Playing the ukelele and singing popular songs is no longer the after dinner pleasure of many of the fraternities. Instead they remove their coats, hitch up their belts and are marched up and down, back and forth and hither and you, in a vain effort to get them to respond to the proper signals. This is good work. Keep it up.
CONVOCATION IN THE GYM
Because of the large crowd attending each conventation, the Kansan suggests that the next one be in Robinson Gymnasium. Practically all of the three thousand would attend if they knew that there would be seats or at least standing room for all.
If the convocations were held in the Gymnasium, perhaps there would be room enough for a little of the much-written-of college spirit to be manifested by the students. Is K. U. too dignified to indulge in a college yell or sing a college song at convocation? By the large attendance students have shown that they like convocations. They want to get together occasionally, hear good speakers, and show their school spirit. There are only five more weeks of actual school work, but it isn't too late for convocations to be held in the Gymnasium
Some students never thought about the folks at home except when they wanted the allowance. But since the new ruling was made by the Senate they are all thinking about how much they can help "the folks at home" and serve their country. Professors hint that the coming quizzes had something to do with this sudden change of heart.
One meets on and about Mount Oread certain downy lipped beings clad in brown, with straight hat brims, and the tightest of leggings. He may stoop to brush imaginary dust from the brown khaki; or he may rub one shining shoe on the back of a legging. How untried as yet are those new wings of his! How conscious he is of his appearance and the sensation he creates. But the vanity of youth, must not be censored. It will all too soon disappear in the rear of cannon and the blasts of exploding shells. And he will come back,—ah, how different.
If the war results in an increased power of federal government as the Chancellor suggested and does away with states rights the University may have an auditorium in which there will be seats enough for all of the students and none will be turned away because there isn't even standing room.

WELL-BALANCED MEN
College men, who devote a major part of their university life to various activities not of an academic manager, are called the teachers. They tend their position and attitude. These same men, in turn, call upon those who place all of their efforts on academic work to explain wherein theyaving greater value from college life.
Both types are extremes to be found in any institution, and both have valid argument to offer in favor of either. If the argument can be far better for all concerned if both would merge into a single type that approached the happy medium, in order that their universities andcollege produce a more uniform graduate.
A college is primarily constructed in order to cater to scholars. It is not a haven for social butterflies and athletes. At the same time, a college should be a meeting place for wide-awake men, where knowledge can be gained by friendship as well as by books. Scholarship and friendship are best acquired in college, and the blending of the two should be so perfect that the over-emphasis of one will not be a detriment to the other.
The duty of him who has a tendency to develop into an unpopular "grind" is to get out into the open and move beyond that which is not to be found in books. The duty of him who spends most of his time in social activity is to burn books that are written in books that which he cannot learn from society—The Daily Maroon.

CAMPUS OPINION
WHY WAIT
Editor Daily Kangan.
Communications must be signed in evidence of good faith but names will not be mishandled.
The University shelterers a multitude of truly patriotic men who seem to be waiting for the psychological moves of patriotism generated by some unusual German atrocity shall sweep over the country and carry them in a mud rush to the colors. It is a trait of great national pride. Few people are independent thinkers.
It would be far better for the nation if every man responded at once, and then, should the war be of short duration or our services not needed, the nation will not have to pay the price of waiting. Enlisted.
University men should think before they act. As Britain urges, it is the better part to go slow. On the other hand, as has been pointed out, the psychological moment when men will enlist is very often not that moment when the nation needs their services most. The United States is going on to war on a large scale. Millions of men are engaged. As a consequence, too much waiting for the psychological moment may prove disastrous to the nation.
The United States is the eleventh nation to enter the fight against Gaddafi.

A "warm-up" ball is the latest thing to be introduced in baseball, and Christy Mathewson, the famous old Giant hurler, and now boss of the Cincinnati Reds, is responsible for it. The ball is about two ounces heavier than the regulation ball, and Matty has had one made up separately for his team. He will give it a trial this spring. The idea is that the pitcher, who will use the ball in warming up preparatory to taking his turn in the box, will get used to the "feel" of it and that the regulation ball, which he will take upon entering the box, will feel comparatively light to him and perhaps more comfortable. The theory is the same as that on which is based the practice of a batter swinging three bats before stepping up to the plate.—Utah Chronical.
Evidently other universities also have their troubles with buildings. Recently 175 square feet of plaster fell from the ceiling of the main hall of the University of Wisconsin. One student passed at the time was injured in the arm, but otherwise no damage was done.Daily Texan.
For the purpose of protecting the lives of small freshmen and the timid co-eds during the high spring winds, an iron railings has been placed on all steps leading into the main building at the University of Texas. The need of such protection has been shown by the fact that several persons were seriously injured the past winter by falling down the stems.
It costs a penny a minute to be late to Herr Bernhard Uhlendorf's German class at the University of Illinois. The professor has already three cents, there is seventeen cents in the treasury, and thirteen cents on the books. The proceeds will be used for a "nice German picnic" by the instructors and students, and picnics at Iowa are not very fashionable this year—Daily Iowa.
President Murlin is anxious to have Boston University represented in the work of mercy on the European war front by a "Boston University Ambulance." To that end he has issued an appeal to the trustees, faculties, and staff of Boston University to provide $1,950 to furnish, equip man, and transport such an ambulance and keep it in service for a year. —Boston University News.
A bill providing for a minimum wage of forty cents an hour for all employees of the University excepting the officers and members of the faculty, has been introduced into the house and referred to the committee on appropriations. The bill, should it go into effect, would double and even triple the salary of some of the employees.—Daily Illini.

POLITICAL BEE APPEARS AGAIN ON MT. OREAL
Elect Student Council, Cheer leader and School Officers
May 3
The political bee is again humming over the campus. Petitions have been started on the rounds by students who hope to gain positions on the Men's Student Council, or the offices of the different schools.
All the petitions of the candidates must be signed and turned in to Paul Greere, at the Phil Delta Phi house, on Thursday evening, by six o'clock Thursday evening.
The election is to be held on May 3, one week from the time the petitions are turned in. A number of "rumored" candidates have been mentioned, but no one has formally announced his candidacy for any of the positions to be filled, and no petitions have vet been submitted.
At the election on May third, in addition to the president of the student council, there will be elected a vicepresident, secretary-treasurer, seven members from the college, four from the School of Engineering, two from the School of Law, and one each from the College of Pharmacy, and the Graduate School. Also, five student members of the athletic board will be chosen.
The rules of the council provide that each candidate for a student council position must pay a fee of seventy-five cents, and present a petition signed by seventy-five qualified voters.
W. H. Wilson and L. M. Anderson have been appointed a committee to make arrangements for the election W. A. McKinney, M. L. Gear, Ray Heath, L. G. Sparks, and T. O. Terrant are on the eligibility board.

Athletics Scored
"Intercollegiate athletics, because they have advertising value, have been allowed to receive disproportionate emphasis as an element of college and university life, in some respects to the detriment of sport that entails the participation of larger numbers of students with teachers, than that of the hired coach, as well as to the detriment of intellectual competitions that appeal more to reason but less to instinct."—Prof. E. C. Hayes, Illinois.
Clock-Watching Women
From a speech by Gertrude Oliver at the University of Washington it seems that the man is not the only one who watches the clock while he works, but that the woman was also invaded that field of endeavor. Says she is not interested. She does not hear the clock strike six. If her work is not finished, she has an everlasting tenacity to stick at her job. She is both honest and sincere, and she possesses a superabundance of accommodation. Honesty and sincerity offer factors to success. This applies to men as well as to women."—Ex.
How Do You Stand?
That the "college slouch" is fac and not fiction, at least at Harvard university, is the conclusive result of the examination of the 746 men of the freshman class of that college. The other 256 are adducted with some form of slouch or other, according to the investigation; three-fifths have no knowledge of how to use their bodies properly or how to stand up straight; and nearly two of every ten have feet held in a horizontal position, impairing their country in time of war. The judging was done on the basis that the weight should be on the balls of the feet, abdomen in, chest up, and chin in, and the men were put into four classes accordingly. Of those four classes, only one first class, ninety in the second class 413 in the third class, and 193 in the fourth class—Daily Cardinal.

VARSITY MAKES READY FOR THE CORNHUSKERS
Victories Over Freshmen and Heavy Slugging Promise a Winning Team
The Jayhawk baseball nine is putting on the finishing touches in preparation for the Nebraska games Wednesday and Thursday, and Captain Smee has confidence that Kansas will win from the Cornhuskers.
The Jayhawker players have been beating Potts's freshmen in the last four or five practice games with one team, two or three, and a couple of Jayhawker victories when they meet with the Cornhuskers on McCook Field. All of the players are in good condition and should be going their best by the middle of the week.
Captain Snee is slugging the ball in his old-time way and has been leading the squad in batting percentages the last week or so. In the practice of the game, under sunday afternoon he made three hits out of four times up. Walter Smith, who caught Poirier for three innings, smashed out two hits, one of which, a three bagger, was only stopped by a serve on the east side of McCook Field.
Connie Poirier, who pitched in the games with the Kansas Normals and St. Marys, is getting more control than his team has fanned five of the heavy freshman batters in the first two innings. Several of the freshman players said Connie has more "stuff on the ball" than the defense worked out against them this season.
The nine has been changed considerably since the first game of the season with the Normals. The lineup which now seems to be the pick of the coach is: Carter, c; Poirier, Craig or Captain Smee, p; Chase, B; Ib; Lundberg, no; Boonefield, p; Press, as Captain Smee, f; Gibbens, cf; Weber, wf.

SHOWING OF KANSAS POOR IN DRAKE MEET
Coach Hamilton Gives Bad Weather as Alibi for Unusual Work of Team
The University of Kansas track team did not make the same showing at the Drake relay games Saturday that it did at the Illinois Invitation meet this winter. The Kansas men placed fourth in the two-mile relay, Notre Dame winning first in 7:56 4-5, which is a new world's record and finished third in the four-mile relay against Chicago and Ames.
The mile relay team won sixth in that event out of an entry of eleven teams. In this race Missouri lost after Simpson, who had a lead of twenty yards over the Illinois man, was beaten out at the finish by the 440-yard run, ran the poorest of all four Missouri runners.
Kansas lost its biggest chance to win this race when Rodkey, the first K. U. runner, was boxed in at the start and lost many yards before he got the track open to him again. The time 3:21 4:5, is a new meet record.
Howland, Groene, Sproull, and Statkeer ran the four-mile-relay but none of the men ran in their usual form and placed a poor third. The time was 18:23, both Missouri and half-mile relays. Nebraska showed that they have several good sprinters, when they placed fourth in the half-mile relay. Coach W. O. Hamilton said the Kansas runners did not do any use of the lack of training this spring due to the indemnity weather.
Murphy, Welsh, Sproull, and Rodkey ran in the order named in the two-mile relay, the first University event on the program. They placed fourth out of the nine teams entered. Rodkey started the mile relay, Welsh, Murphy, and O'Leary running next in order. It was the second race in an hour for the first three men and they were not able to put out their best race

The Hash House nines got into action again Saturday and six teams clashed. Three other teams forfeited their games. The Union Club forfeited to K. U., Lee's forfeited to The Mets, and Custer forfeited to Walling.
The Stevenson and S. U. O. Clubs clashed at 10:30 Saturday morning, and the S. U. O.'s won by an 8 to 3 score, in a seven-inning game. Keeler, the S. U. O. pitcher, allowed five hits, fanned seven men, and walked three. Goodwin, the Stevenson pitcher, allowed five hits, fanned five, and walked four. The longest hits of the game was a home run by Keeler.

KEEP ATHLETICS — COACHES
Directors of Missouri Valley School
Confer at Drake Relay Games
—All Favor Retention
That athletics will be retained in all Missouri Valley schools was the opinion voiced Saturday at a meeting of practically all coaches who had teams in the Drake Relay games at Des Moines. Nearly every coach went on record in favor of retaining athletics in war times unless informed by the War Department that it was hurting military work.
At the dinner for the visiting athletes after the meet Martin Delaney, physical director of the Chicago Athletic Club and Alonzo Stagg, track coach of Chicago University urged the retention of athletics. Coach Brewer, of Missouri, and Griffin, of Drake also favored the move.

Coach W. O. Hamilton announced himself as heartily in favor of continuing athletics. Final action in the matter probably will be taken at the next meeting of Missouri Valley conference officials, some time after the conference meet at Ames in May. Work was completed and voted by a good majority in favor of continuing athletics the remainder of this year.

PROF. HUMBLE WINNER OF FACULTY CONTEST
Law Faculty Man Has Best Conception of What College Loyalty Should Be
HELPS RAISE STANDARDS
Students Judged Essays on "College Spirit" for Daily Kansan—A Close Race
H. W. Humble, professor in the School of Law, is the winner of the "College Spirit" essay content contended by the University Day Kansan.
The final decision of the judges, Mona Clare Huffman, president of the Women's Student Government Association, Paul Greerey, president of the Men's Student Council and Joseph M. Murray, c11, editor of the Lawrence Journal-World, was announced today.
OTHER ESSAYS GOOD
The best indication of the closeness of the contest is the fact that the three judges each selected a different essay as the best one, so that the decision as to first place had to be made on comparative rankings. The other two essays were not especially good were written by Willard Watties and Miss Josephine Burnham, both members of the English department faculty. These entries, "What Is the Matter With K. U?" by Mr. Watties and "College Spirit: Some Horses," by Miss Burnham, will be published in the Kansan book prize winning essay appears on the front page of the Kansan today.
A KANSAN CONTEST
The faculty "College Spirit" contest was announced by the Kanser an early in the month, after the Graduate Magazine had conducted a similar contest for students which was won by Miss Carolyn McNutt.
K. U. has been accused of lacking college spirit. The ideals expressed by the faculty entrants in the contest may aid in raising the standard.
NEW ARRIVALS AT MUSEUM
A Kansan reporter will present a check for $5.00 to Professor Humble and ask him if he has other faculty members who wrote oats, did not expect any such fortune.
Pictures and Bones Collected by Kansas Men Have Been Placed on Third Floor
Other pictures in the collection show exploring parties from the University.
A group of pictures of restorations of prehistoric animals has been added to the collection on the third floor of the museum. In the list are photographs of restorations of the ancient three toed horse, as he appeared several million years ago; of the mammoth elephant, which was more than thirty tons, and of the manmoth edenthium, from which the hog is descended.
The skeleton was discovered by Parker, Moore and Smitherman, former students in the University. Relics found with the skeleton are bones in case 10, 17, north room of the third floor of the museum.
Other exhibits have been arranged in the museum during the last few weeks. Among them is the skeleton of an Indian of the time of the early Spanish settlement in the south, columned in red marble, near Sterling near Arkansas City.
POLE DIRECTS IN ENGLISH
Max Zack, Leader of St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, Received Musical Training in Vienna
The St. Louis Symphony orchestra will give a concert Thursday evening, May 10 in Robinson Gymnasium under the auspices of the school of Fine Arts. The orchestra is now on campus and has been given the leadership of Max Zack, one of the most scholarly conductors in the world. Mr. Zack is a unique leader in that his direction is spoken only in English. He is the only leader in English at the University, even American and English directors always use French or German.
Mr. Zack is an Austrian Polander and received his musical training in the Vienna Conservatory. At the age of nineteen he was a member of the violin section of the thirty-first regiment of country orchestra in the Austrian army.
Two of the solo artists accompanying the orchestra are of American birth and education; Miss Leonora Allen, soprano and Charles E. Galanis, tenor, among the foremost figures in the concert and oratorio field today.
SIGMA TAU OFFERS MEDAL
TO FRESHMAN ENGINEER
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 24, 1917.
A gold medal is offered by Sigma Tau, professional engineering fraternity, to the freshman engineer ranking highest in scholarship for the Engineering Institute of Institution Committee of the engineering faculty, or, a committee appointed by Dean P. F. Walker will act as Judges. The first medal will be awarded next October to the freshman this year's class ranking highest.
The idea of professional organizations offering scholarship medals was commended to Dean Walker. "It is in exact accord with the aim of the faculty" in getting the men to put their names on the medal, and "it tends to discourage the idea of merely getting through the first year courses."
FORMS NEW COMPAMIES
FOR VOLUNTARY DRILI
Military Work Appeals to Many and They Learn Rapidly Under Dean Walker
The Voluntary Drill Classes are increasing in numbers every day. Under the supervision of Dean Walker the men are rapidly learning the rudiments of army drill. The men by this time have been taken from a squad left about command.
Six men were dropped from the companies' rolls Monday on account of absences. The organization is military in nature and although the work has been done, the students stand a chance of losing their credits in the work in which they have withdrawn if they do not attend this military work regularly. Anyone having more than four absences against him is dropped from the work. To be given an absence reason to give Dean half of the absences.
The two original companies A and B, with the addition of many "raw recruits," have been divided into four teams. The officers meet with A and D meet with B. The officers for Companies C and D have been drawn from the Officers' Reserve class. Company D held its first drill today. C and D will have its first drill today.
The work in the class rooms is securing better results now. The men are learning what is expected of them and are responding to it. The men, who enrolled in this work because of their interest in it, weeded out, leaving in the classes only those men who are taking the work because of their interest in it.
All hopes to secure a regular army officer to take charge of this work have been abandoned. The army can scarcely supply its own wants without over any more duties, and for the present the work will be entirely unofficial.

MANY OFFER GARDEN PLOTS AND BANDAGES
Professor Elmer Will Tabulate Results of Red Cross Survey Made Saturday
Figures taken in the Red Cross survey last Saturday will be used in determining the kind of work the people of Lawrence may be called upon to do in case of necessity. Statistics and other data lies, what work they would be able to perform and what materials are available for Red Cross work were gathered and will be tabulated for future use by Prof. M. C. Elmer. These figures together with the results of a survey conducted some time ago by the local department will be used in connection with "Baby Week" beginning May 8.
Figures on the number of people who desire to secure ground for gardening purposes and the available land were also listed. Twenty-two people offered land to anyone who cares to plant a garden on it. These tracts of land varied from one lot to five acres. One hundred and eighteen people desired land on which to raise food stuff. A group of nine people formed the Chamber of Commerce and people desiring to plant garden will be put in touch with those offering the land.
KANSAS WINS ANNUAL
DEBATE AT MISSOUR
The United States faces a serious shortage of bandage material because of the large amount of this material which has been shipped to Europe. To meet this demand, old linen, and other material which can be used, many manufacturers have offered material to the local Red Cross Saturday and this will be collected immediately. In some cases new linen was contributed.

COLLEGE SPIRIT
"Because thou art lukewarm, and
neither cold nor hot will spew thee;
and neither worm nor insect will
speak to thee."
The day of the puny pippen is past. Behold the dawn of the new day of push, punch, and progress. The college campus has neither room nor company for the lukwarm man. All the rest of the world needs it. But there is there but one place for you. We salute you! Get off the earth!
The acid test of the presence of college spirit is this: Do you believe in the very fibre of your being, as thousands do, that to attend college is the greatest, leftiest, and finest things that can ever fall to the lot of any man or women? If you do not, then the student must receive you. No bata or chains are keeping you on the campus; you have and make room for the man who hungers for your opportunities.
PAUL GREEER ADDRESSES
MEETING AT FAIRMOUNT
Paul Greever, '177, president of the Men's Student Council, went to Fairmount this afternoon to address a loyalty meeting.
You have decided to remain? Then, in the name of all that is sacred in manhood and womanhood, show the spark of nobility that lies within you! Rise to the occasion! Give to your college of your best and finest thoughts and conduct. Not one student in ten or even twenty, on the campus today, has ever attended or will ever attend any other college but this one. All that he will ever know of college, at first hand, must be cleansed from this institution.
Royce was right. There is but one word in all our philosophy, Loyalty. Loyalty to home, family, church, country and alma mater. For though you are but one of ten children, or but one of thousands of her alumni, she is yours, all yours, your mother and your alma mater. You can never repay her the debt that is her due. She neither expects it, nor does she require it. All that she asks is that you forrequire your course to touch your heart strings and let them resound in your mind, so that she joins the S. O. S. signal from old Fraser, or beckons, in her gentler and geyer moods, and asks that you return to the fold, from time to time, and mingle with her children.
College spirit never calls to my mind a football game or any other form of athletic contest, but rather an experience of the following character, while at college. Cornell, like K. U., is seated on a high hill, with other hills in the distance. A few minutes before six one evening, at dusk, I left the library on my homeward way. All was quiet. As I started to descend the hill, I happened to notice a granite stone under a tree. It was placed there in honor of the author of one of Cornell's hymns. As I read the inscription on the stone, the chimes from the library tower played slowly the music which was used to accompany the words which I read:
What is college spirit? It is that lofty sentiment which permeates the heart and sinew of every true collegian and causes him to stand in awe at the portals of alma mater, ready to give and capable of fulfill that is richest and noblest in life. "Prove, O pretate eate, profani."
Greever will discuss the aspects of international law in the present war crisis, justifying the position of the United States in the war. The subject of his speech will be "The Case Against Germany."
"Music with the twilight falls,
'Oer the distant lake and dell.
It is an echo from the halls
Of our own, our fair Cornell."
The finest thrills, the deepest emotions come, not with the roar and the brass band of the big football game, but in hours of solitude and decision as we stroll quietly over the campus and catch echoes of the thousands who have departed and are yet to come.
Plain Tales from the Hill
"You can eat a beef steak," the professor of philosophy told his class this morning, "but you cannot eat it." The teacher is what is wrong, is it? Well. Well.
"Victor Hugo is a good author, but his love scenes are abominable. They are of a sickenning, sweetish, slush just like it is in reality."
Here is a literary criticism from Prof. F. A. G. Cowper. The class in French was discussing Victor Hugo pro and con, fore and aft and otherwise. And then: Professor Cowper ventured—
"Salute me as a sergeant!"
If it were not for the fact that Prof. H. A. Rice is an authority on engineering and good tobacco there would be no use saying anything about it. But Professor Rice is no devotee of the wrist watch or a feeder for marshmallow eclairs, so here goes—
It was the voice of Jack Hettinger, lawyer-soldier, as he stately stood on the Law School steps. The doctile and the stern face of him lay into position and stood at attention.
And co-eds marveled.
After receiving a set of papers which were far from being neat his face assumed a pained expression and he murmured weakly—"If you children hand in such a set of papers again, I shall deal with you severely."
The wings of Green Hall Theatre are not like the wings of angels. Last night while the senior play, "If I Were Dean," was in rehearsal, one girl got loose from its mooring and took a vicious swing through the air.
Mable Elmore was facing the other way, wherefore she was blissfully oblivious of her danger. A scant seven inches of space had intervened to save her hair from a terrible mussing. Henry the Hero crossed right on high speed and took the unruly wing in charge.
ARE PROFESSORS FOSSILS?
Profs. Wear Whiskers; Stenographer Chews Gum and Senior Makes Love in "If I Were Dean"
In plays professors are called fosls. "If I Were Dean" is the Senio Play to be presented Wednesday night, April 25. And the professors are real fossils. One of them wears whiskers and another—well, he does. This combination helps the plot wonderfully in quelling the naughty rally.
The professors are not the only characters well portrayed by the cast of seniors. There is the stenographer. She's good. Wait and see. The senior acts like a real senator. And he makes love well. Hon. Cy Lage is a snappy but good matured County. He's running for office. He keeps the part going: And the type writer (machine, not girl) runs alas
The cast didn't rest over Saturday and Sunday. Rehearsals were held Saturday morning and Sunday after noon. The cast will be to morrow at nine o'clock.
DR. STRONG CONDUCTING
DEFENSE COUNcil SURVEN
Chancellor Strong has been in Osage, Jefferson, and Jackson counties the last two days conducting an organization campaign for the Kansas Council of Defense. This campaign is to ascertain for the national government, the resources for the Red Cross and other relief work.
Doctor Strong is a member of the Kansas Defense Council and was recently delegated by Governor Capper to carry out this work.

Y. W. C. A. to Stage May Fete on Campus In Afternoon.
OBSERVED SINCE 1905
Holiday Takes Place of Annual Sophomore and Freshman Class Fight
It was back in those good old days. They didn't wear wrist watches as folks claim we do now; they didn't have tea-dansants. In football they didn't have the hive-fashioned open skin, but the one he will get you" was their ambition.
STARTED IN 1905
And those were the days when they had class fights along with their other forms of curb barbarism. What were these fights about? What things" responds the faculty. Some times they fought over a rug called the class flag and sometimes a sack in the center of the field served the purge. Sometimes they fought for the ove of the thing.
Then the Chancellor in September, 1905, decided to do away with the fights between the sophomore and freshman classes. And fights is the word. For in the fall a fight was fought for the honor of the class and in the spring on May Day another fight was fought for the honor of the class. Sometimes the fresh won and sometimes the sophs were victors.
It was agreed by the sophomore and freshman classes in union to do away with the fights. And no more numerals were to be painted on the sidewalks of the campus or on the buildings.
MONEY TO Y. W. AND RED CROSS
The Chancellor agreed at the same time to grant a holiday on May first each year, providing all fights were refrained from. It seems that he did not leave any of the two classes from the Hill thereby avoiding all chance of fights.
That is the reason the Y. W. C. A. is promoting the May Fete a week from today. From fights have come pageants of history and education. From football games resplendent with football dances and fetes. Come May Pole dances and fetes.
Part of the receipts of the May Fete is for the upkeep of the Y. W. C. A. The other part goes to the Red Cross. Twelve or more departments plan for the pageants and are arranging their pageants and dances now.
NO PLANS FOR MEMORIAL
Neither Committee Nor President Have Definite Ideas for Disposal of Funds
The eleventh hour has arrived and the Senior Memorial Fund has not yet been called out. It is yearning to do its bit in the existing crisis. Several seniors offered suggestion as to the disposal of the fund.
Ernest Statler said, "I think the fund should be turned to some relief agency and applied where it will do the greatest good."
Roy Davidson asked, "Why not apply it to the support of French babies? That certainly would be a charitable act."
Jess Gardner said: "In my opinion, the Students' Loan Fund needs what an investment any fund to which we might turn is George O. Foster, who has the Students' Loan Fund in charge, said: 'It was rumored that the fund was to be turned over to the Students' Loan but as yet it has not been done."
George Smee, president of the senior class, could not be reached this morning and we were unable to get a statement from him.
HASKELL INDIANS DEFEAT
BAKER NINE BY 5 TO 4 SCORE
The Haskell Indian nine won from the Baker team in the last half of the ninth inning, yesterday, by a 5 to 4 score when Pego, Haskell Indian pinch-hitter, smashed out a two base hit and gave the Indians the necessary one run lead. The score was tied 3 and 3 at the beginning of the ninth innning but Baker jumped into the lead by making one run. Pego was on the shoulders of several Indian runs, when he scored the winning run.
Davis, Haskell second baseman who made a home run in the Ottawa-Haskell game, also connected for another home run yesterday. The Bakers pitcher hit off Stuckey, Baker pitcher, while the Baker nine made but five hits off Killback, Haskell pitcher. Both teams made ten errors each.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students of Kansai to go further than merely printing the news on paper and using a security hold; to play no favorities; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to leave more serious wiser hens; in all, to serve to the best purpose; to teach the students of University.
TUESDAY, APRIL 24, 1917
Don't worry about what they or you say might be done; worry about what you know you can do for your own benefit, and habitually neglect.2. W. Howe.
THE SENIOR PLAY
Problems of the college world, and particularly of our college world, will be dealt with with unglued hands tomorrow night when "If I Were Dean" is presented by the seniors at the Bowersock Theater. The prof who holds classes over time, the students who start naughty rallies, the politician and the graffers—each will get his share of criticism.
Advance notices seem to indicate that the play is full of college spirit—just the sort of play, in fact, which will interest K. U. folks. Written by a student, acted by students under student management, it is primarily, a thing in which student interest should center.
That is why, when the curtain rises tomorrow night, a full house will greet the production.
Every student is helping Germany when he fails to use every ounce of energy in economizing food, money, and time.
WOMEN'S PAKI
Maude Radford Warren in the Saturday Evening Post has said "in war it ought to be counted a dishonor for women to wear new and unnecessary modes. For aside from the waste involved in too many clothes, cut in rapidly dying styles, it is wrong to use the hands of tailors, streamestresses and milliners for work in superfluous clothes when the government could use them in ways that will mean the saving of life as well as the economy of industry."
The women in some of the eastern universities have pledged themselves not to eat ice cream or wear silk hosiery until after the war is over. Everywhere women are conserving and saving in various ways. In what way are you, women of K. U., going to "do your bit"? It is a question each woman should decide for herself and then live up to her decision.
The ravages of war are already apparent. Class rooms are taking on a vacant look and so are the faces of the erstwhile bright students.
A POOR RULE
A professor assigned ever thousand pages of outside reading which was to be handed in in two weeks.
When the class of forty went to the library they found that only half of the books were there.
They asked where they were and the librarian told them that the professor had checked them out three months ago. They couldn't be called in because there was a rule that professors could keep books as long as they chose.
One professor had kept'a book for six years.
The professor thought it was queer that there were no other copies of the books in the library and gave each student a III because his work was incomplete.
"Stay at your books, acquaint yourself as best you can with those things which may be of value to you in serving the country, but don't enlist for service until the War Department announces its plan in detail and Congress acts."
In these times of war there has been much said about distribution of food. Seems as if food prices have already had a hand in regulating the distribution of food. At any rate, the boarding houses have been taking advantage of the war for some time.
This is the policy for the University man which the president of the University of Illinois gave to students of that university. He pointed out that the extra training one would receive by waiting will be of greater service to the government than by going into that work for which he isn't fitted.
"STAY AT YOUR BOOKS"
Well, you were wishing two weeks ago that it would get warm, weren't you?

THE NEWSPAPER AND COLLEGE MEN
After watching several scores of college men of almost every type known at Illinois "go through" metropolitan dales, we are convinced that the average college man does not really know what a line of actuat; a cursory~very cursory~glance at the front page headlines as the sheets are eagerly fingered in search of the sporting page; a rather critical reading of the news of the world of sport; followed by a few chuckles found on the page; much of it happens. This done, our average college mangives a second hasty glance to the screamer and the scare headlines on the front page, and, having satisfied himself that Ty Cobb is still playing baseball, that B. L. T. is still funny, and that the United States is not comfortable for him, shall serve aside for the day. The editorials do receive any attention. But, the paper has really ben read.
Our college man has gotten from his hasty glance at headlines, but a faint rumble of the international storm which threatens even our own land. And the first duty of a citizen is to protect us from the country and that which goes on about it. America we are no longer an isolated land. We have rescheduled a period of world interdependence; the affairs of America and Budapest are our affairs, and our affairs teirs. To truly understand other men, to understand common experiences, we must observe the present day movements, the activities of man, we must se, we must appreciate to a limited degree at least the influences, the events that are making history in the world today. Our vision must be a world vision, and that vision will be made from day to day of the newspaper that we can get this world vision.
POET'S CORNER
It has been said that the test of an education is the appreciation of an alien interest. It is the obligation of the college man to society to lead in just this appreciation. Yet, can the average student pass the test?
if it has ben his habit to give five minutes daily to newspaper reading, adopt a new schedule and allow an email to be sent daily, ready, you'll find the most important news on the front page. That's why it's there. on't overlook the editorial. Try reading your newspaper in itself but just "going through it."—Daily Illini

CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent.
Editor and K, U, Men;
This is not an explanation nor a justification, it matters little what you may think of me. There were plenty of reasons for my saying what I did. Let that pass. I am writing this trusting that you will be fair. If you want to I am taking notice, then go and esult. If I am wrong, do as you please.
To get right down to facts. This country is at war. Our military organization consists of the navy, the regular army and the National Guard. The army, the navy and the National Guard need men so badly that the auctions offered to make and have made the enlistment for the time of the war. Look at any of the daily papers, read what the men in charge have to say and one cannot doubt that men are needed. The only army we have with which we can fight is a skeleton in all its branches. "Mr Company, your company, you are in the town for men. Captain Jones said, 'It's too bad, but I have to do it.'"
The Kansan says "take the College for instance." All right, take the College. There are 1073 men enrolled in the College. The Kansan says that
68 have enlisted. There are your figures. Let us be charitable and say that the 65 who went home to work on the farm are needed, every one of them, and that older men, men who cannot assume active military service, could not take their places there; Count all of them. That will give you a total of 133 out of 1073 who have responded. You may say, "why ignore the 200 men who are taking military drill and training?" I said many men who be classified with would come to the meals overnight. You cannot tell, I cannot tell, no one can tell how many of these men are going to enlist. The fact remains that they are not now in and that the country needs them.
This first army of men to go out must necessarily be more inadequately taken care of than troops which follow later. They, some of them, will have irksome guard duty to perform, and the first men to go to Europe, if any go, must come from them. These men who are drilling but not in any military organization are asked to support these obligations by enlisting them in a problemabil. So I say, count them out when you are speaking of facts and take the figures. Figures show that 133 men have responded on the 1073 enrolled.
Editor of Kansan;
I am trying to talk sense, men—if I am right, go and enlist, if I am wrong.
It is hardly the thing for an alumnus of the University to criticize the students of his Alma Mater and to accuse them of disloyalty. The spark if patriotism burns just as bright in the hearts of the students of Kansas University as it does in any class of people in the United States. Merely because the students are thinking and trying to decide what is best, each in its own individual case, is no reason for some fellow who happens to have
had a little service on the Mexican border to come along and tell them that they are disloyal and unpatriotic. Just where does the gentleman get his information? Does he not know that every man in the school stands ready to go forth and fight for his country at the minute when the call comes? Do you think that he already enlisted and many more will do so as soon as they can get their affairs in shape without losing their school credits?
Paul R. Greever. Pres.Men's Student Council
When you criticized us Mr. Kangan why did you not acquaint yourself with the facts and then publish your criticism in the University paper?
Editor of the Kansan:
It is up to the students of our University to display in action some of the loyalty they have professed in their use of the American flag.
It is neither possible nor advisable that we all be soldiers or Red Cross nurses, and the field for national service is almost unconfined. In almost every line of industrial activity the nation can be assisted, and the nation can be assisted by a dedicated fare is just as patriotic as service on the battlefield itself.
"What can I do best to aid my country?" should be the question every student in the University should ask himself. It is not a time for private gains when public service is needed. For some the service may consist in simply working harder than ever, at their present occupation, but whatever the service may be, let every one do his part.
University of Utah sacrifices a big U'day' banquet on account of the present crisis. The faculty of that university has decided to give special credit to all those that join the 'Back to the Farm' movement.

The faculty of Columbia University is organized into a general staff and seven special corps for service in case of war.

What an employment manager says about clothes
ACERTAIN employment manager in a nationally known firm can size up an applicant's ability at a glance.
"How do you do it?" somebody asked.
"A fellow's appearance goes a long way with me," he said, "if he doesn't want a position bad enough to get himself together in the very best style possible. I know that the position doesn't want him."
"A fellow can't help the shape of his head or the size of his nose, but there is no one in the world who cannot be neat and well-groomed."
Today we have received from Hart Schaffner & Marx a fine selection of Varsity Fifty Five suits in checks, stripes, grays, and other colors in different models. They certainly do put a fellow on the map for looking upto-date. And a commanding appearance is surely a good investment.
Every day is our showing off day. We would like to have you see how these new models show you off.

ADVISE MEN TO TRAIN IN COMMISSION CAMPS
Return Applications for Officers Reserve Corps as War Dept. Cancels All Exams.
The status of the men, who have been fitting themselves to take the examinations for the Officers' Reservy Corps, has been changed. A number of these men, who sent in their applications some time past, have been returned their applications with the admonition that they should go into various camps that the being established over the country for the purpose of training men for commissions
One of these camps will be located at Fort Riley to take care of the men from Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, and Wyoming. The men eligible to attend are limited to the reserve officers and candidates for commissions. The course will last for three months and the maximum attendance will be limited to 2,500. The oath, an applicant is required to take, binds him for a period of three months with a prosecution fee. A commission if he is offered one. Otherwise he is free. Each applicant must pass a stiff physical examination and secure at least three recommendations to file with his application.
The class organized last week to prepare men for the Officers' Reserve Corps examination is to continue its work regardless of the fact that the students will be required examinations, Dean Walker, who is personally taking charge of this military work, is trying to secure from the War Department recognition of the work here and to have the students recognized as cadets. Mr. Walker has been assigned to Chancellor Strong and Adjutant General Martin of Tooneka to do this.
W. B. Cobb, 'I'19, has been authorized to receive the applications of all the men who wish to attend the training camp at Fort Riley. It is imperative that students be camped, to put in their applications at once, as it opens May 8. It will take at least a week for the applications to be acted upon, as they must be forwarded to the Central Department at the gineering building in Denver Mikes' office every afternoon from 2:30 to 5:00 to receive applications.

"At the present all National Guard units are marking time until Congress acts on the administration's Selective Draft Bill," said Captain Jones, "This method of raising soldiers is the only business like way that has been proposed. Under its operation, however, drafted men will have to be trained in the duties they shall enter. Furthermore these men need not hope for commissions.

FOOTBALL MEN BEGIN THEIR SPRING TRYOUTS
Candidates Learn Rudiments of Gridiron Game Under Direction of Beau Olcott
Coach Beau Olcott called out the Jayhawker football forces for the first spring practice yesterday afternoon. The practices will be continued every afternoon, with the exception of the game against the until also a clock, until school is out.
The coach said he wanted every Varsity man for next season's team to report promptly at five o'clock, suited up, at the track house, so that he may be able to get in a good hour's practice every day. Only about 20 reported for the practice yesterday, but the coach said others would report today as only a few of the players were notified yesterday.
Ray Heath, a veteran Jayhawker end, will be in charge of the linemen in spring practices, and Rock Woodward, star halfback, will have charge of the backfield players. Capt. Sweiden did not get to come out for the practice yesterday and probably will not be out for the throwouts on his team with schoolkits. He said, however, he would sure be back at his old place at fullback next fall and would give the Tigers and Cornhuskers all he had.
Coach Olcott said he would be in personal charge at the practices, providing his attack of rheumatism does not get worse. He has been sick for about six weeks and was not able start spring training. He is greatly improved now and says he will probably be able to be out from now on.
The practice yesterday afternoon consisted of a general limbierung up in passing the ball, starting, and kicking. This sort of practice will probably be in order the rest of the week, and then much heavier practices will begin. The Jayhawkers have better prospects for a championship team next season than they have had for several years, providing the players who have enlisted in the regular army and the army of the soil get back in the fall. Fifteen K men on last year's squad and twenty-two letter men on
the freshman squad will be back t make places on the Varsity team
SPORT BEAMS
The Jayhawker nine will play tomorrow afternoon at four o'clock on McCook Field with its ancient rival, the Cornhuskers. Captain Swede Nielsen carried the piksun over the goal-line during the football season and it is now up to Captain Smee to put the baseball over the home-run fence. K. U. has just good athletes as our northern rival and it is up to the Jayhawker fans to cheer the Jayhawker nine to victory.
Five hundred or more fans cheered the Jayhawk nine to victory against the Kansas Normals although most of the students had gone home for the Easter vacation or stayed down town for the Loyalty Day demonstrations. The other students, like the school, there will probably be a record breaking attendance at the two Cornhusker games tomorrow and Thursday afternoons.
The two games with the Cornhuskers will be the opening Missouri Valley Conference games for Kansas.
Of course I am going *to* see "If I Were Dean" at the Bowersock tomorrow night.
Certainly!!!!
Aren't you?
The Tigers have won the only conference games that have been played so far this season. They won two NCAA Kansas Aggies and two from Ames.
Connie Poier, the speedy Jay-hawker pitcher, is getting more control every day. Wednesday afternoon, he literally drove a moccasin's head into the ground with a small lime-stone rock. He could not have hit the reptile's head more squarely with a shot-gun with a five-foot range.

The Jayhawker nine will encounter its old rival, Nebraska on McCook Field Tomorrow afternoon. Another Jayhawker victory added to the victory on the gridiron will be welcomed by the Jayhawker fans, and from the crowd it looks as though the Jayhawker fans will not be disappointed.
Captain George Snee said that he did not have any dope on the Cornhusker nine, but he expects to chalk up a victory against them. He said, however, that the game would probably be close and hard fought, as Nebraska usually puts out good athletic teams.

The Jayhawker squad has been going good in the practice games with Potsy's freshman lately and have won every game for the last week. Captain Smee leads the squad in batting averages and will probably be a big factor in the Jayhawker's playing tomorrow.
COACH CHANGES LINEUP
The lineup has been changed around a great team to the final home with the Kansas Norman, and it will be changed some more, if Lindsey is declared ineligible. If he does not get to play, the Kansas lineup will probably be: Carter catcher, Poirier or Craig pitcher, Chase first, Sheoefeldt second, Milhomme third, Fratt short, McKenna fifth, Gibbens center, and Weber right.
Connie Poirier, the little but speedy Jayhawk twirler, is getting more control every day, and should present an interesting challenge for his husker batters. He fanned five of

Potsy's freshmen, in a recent practice game, and several of the freshman sluggers say they fear him more than any of the other Varsity pitchers who have worked out against them. Craig and Captain Smee both have reputations behind them from last year, and will be used if necessary.
This is a busy time in Jayhawker sportdom. The Varsity nine will meet twice with the Cornhuskers, and three times with the freshmen the rest of the week. Eight Pan-Hellenic baseball nine are scheduled to play. Twelve Hash House games are also scheduled. Six professional fraternity nines will meet. The Jayhawker Varsity football team will play four teams. The tennis players will play numberless, games and the women swimmers will practice daily for the rest of the week.

SIG ALPHS TO BUILD HOME
Quiet Neighborhood at West of Campus Chosen as Site of Residence to be Ready This Fall
The site west of the campus on Thirteenth Street has been chosen by the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity as the location of their new home. The desirability of the surroundings, a suitable place for study, because of the quiet neighborhood, the beautiful view of the campus, and no hill to climb are given as the points in favor of the place chosen.
Work has already been begun on the building. Excavation will be completed this week. The home is to be large three-story coloured structure with a large door being built in such a manner that it can be thrown into one large room. A sun parlor is to extend the length of the south side of the ground floor. The parlor will be study rooms. Sleeping porches will be at the rear of the house.
Work will continue on the building through the summer. The Sig Alphs plan to be in their new home when school opens next fall.
Class in French conversation, for men enlisted in army service will meet this evening at seven-thirty in Room 310, Fraser. This is the second meeting of the class and the department asks that the men start early so as to get the full benefit of the course.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT
Under the auspices of the Women's Athletic Association a tennis tournament will be held in May. The women of all classes will take part. The class tournaments will be held on the week following May 4, and the women of all classes will meet in an interclass tournament beginning May 21.
Any women in the University may take part, and Miss Pratt urges all who can to do so.

MAN WHO TALKS BACK TO PAPER TRUST IS HERE
G. W. Marble, the man who made the paper trust come down on their prices of paper supplied to the small dailies and weeklies of Kansas is in Lawrence today, visiting the University and making instructive talks to the classes in the department of journalism. Mr. Marble was at one time a member of the board of regents of the university, where he a lively interest in affairs here. He is at present editor of the Daily Tribune-Monitor at Fort Scott, Kansas.
As president of the Kansas Daily League, Mr. Marble was in Washington last December in the interest of the publishers of Kansas papers. Working in co-operation with the Kansas Editorial Association, he seured a hearing before the Federa Trade Commission.
"The Trade Commission agreed to furnish to Kansas publishers a car of pdl paper at a price of $2.35 per hundred in ton lots. Of course," said Mr. Marble, "one car of paper would not be a drop in the bucket for the press here, but it was enough to force the paper to reduce its prices to us so that we did not need to take advantage of the offer of the Trade Commission."
According to the last advice that has been received, the car of paper will be available about May 1, unless the Commission, in view of the trust's price reduction, decides that it is not necessary to send it.
Mr. Marble is chairman of the Bourbon county branch of the National Defense League, and is working in the interest of increased production of food crops in that section. He is especially interested in the dairying industry which has become a rapidly growing, important industry in Fort Scott and the surrounding territory.
For the next few days Mr. Marble will remain here visiting classes in the department of journalism and looking over the activities of the University.
DR. ELDERKIN IS CRITICIZED
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 25, 1917.
Former Lawrence Pastor Gets Un-
welcome Publicity in Chicago for
Making Radical Statement
Students of the University will be sorry to learn that the Rev. Noble Strong Eldickin, of the Oak Park Congregational Church of Chicago and congregational Church of Lawrence, has received some unwelcome publicity in the past few days.
It is alleged that Doctor Elderman made the statement that all soldiers were murderers. Considerable discussion was thus caused. It is reported he will be retained in his present field despite the fact that there has been much dissatisfaction expressed against account of his statement. Elder Deming said that his statement is his belief, but it tend in any way to make deprecatory remarks about the United States Government.
Herman Olcott, football coach, is confined to his room and has been practically helpless for the last two weeks on account of a severe attack of rheumatism. Several weeks ago he was taken sick with a severe case of rheumatism, and when this sickness left him he had a bad attack of rheumatism.
COACH HERMAN OLCOTT
CONFINED TO HIS HOME
Students of the University will remember this pastor as one of the most popular ministers in University circles.
He has been forced to give up all athletic work for the past week behind his back. Mrs. Olcott said this morning that his condition was greatly improved.
Sigma Delta Chi will hold a smoker at the Phi Kappa house tomorrow evening for George W. Marble of the Fort Scott Tribune-Monitor.
(Essay by Willard Wattles in Daily Kansan College Spirit Contest
What is the Matter With K. U.?
The Kansan has given me an opportunity I have long been hoping for; in fact, I might say, an opportunity I have been preparing for since I first saw the University of Kansas in the fall of 1905. In those twelve years I think I have gathered from an intimate acquaintance with my Alma Mater, my native state of Kansas, and such eastern colleges and college men as I have been privileged to know, some suggestions that may help me to understand this interest in the future of our University. In fact, my only difficulty will be to condense my material and to refrain from tediumness.
If I may in one word express what I think is the matter with K. U., I should say only this: *Cheapness*, Perhaps one might care; *Provincialism*, Naturalistic; *Naturemdemic Snobbery*, but it is all one. And I venture to suggest that the Faculty itself is chiefly to blame. Had members of the college faculty and their relatives in the student body uncompromisingly against our varieties of backwoods sham, the students could never have caught the infction. I say that if K. U. does not today have true college spirit, which I maintain in the case, it is because he shouldered its proper responsibilities. There are far too many members of our faculty who have neither the intellectual clarity nor the moral courage to stand by their convictions at crisis. In other words, there are too few men and too many rabbits.
Now, I fully realize what may be the consequences of the article I am about to write. I know that it is the policy of some of those in the administration to hush things up, to keep them quiet and to be truthful. But I also believe that there is a possibility of being too diplomatic. I know, too, that it is easy for a younger man to criticize, and that it is easier to "teach twenty what were good to be done than to be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching." I would not for a moment presume to instruct my betters, and I know that my own classmates must be the established order must have no imperfections in the joints of his own armor. I know that there are plenty of my colleagues willing and able to find my deficiencies, if they have not already done so; but I know of one fraternity man here who on the eve of his leaving school told his brethren, that he was a morning, for six uninterrupted hours, of thought of them—and today I have the floor, which is something I do not have in the Senate.
Why does the State not trust us?
I have lived and worked in all parts of Kansas as few of my faculty brethren as I am, and because my parents was born in Kansas, one of my relatives was a member of the first University faculty, and other relatives had graduated here; therefore, I think we have a few reasons why we are not trusted.
Let me say, to begin with, that human imperfections are due to misunderstandings and very seldom to wilful perversity, to confusion of the real issue and not to intentional deceit. Could we clear up misunderstandings could be no European war; could we know what conspiracy would happen if we should have the confidence of the whole state of Kansas, which I think even a deaf and blind man might in time surmise we do not now possess.
The first is the fact that in the early days of biological science, before men like John Fiskel, Henry Drummond, and Bergson, not to mention others, had shown the true relationship throughout our State the various representatives of church denominations declared that the University was heretical because in its class-rooms was taught a course in Evolution. (Gallileo had a similar experience with the Italian Inquisition.) None of the latter understood more than Mr. Bryan, who vague idea that Evolution had to do with monkeys. The whole subject was so goddess that to touch it was contamination. Only a few years ago a graduate of this University, it is true of the law school, said to me as we went into a physician's office to x-ray photograph made of a Mexican girl with damages, and pointing to an evolutionary chart hanging on the wall, "Do you still believe in that stuff?"
Now, the people of the State, like my good friend, had never investigated what Doctor Snow was really in his classroom, nor did they know if it be true at all is the surest proof existing of a spiritual and eternal world. There are, I am sorry to say, too many who have in their thinking never progressed beyond the Origin of Species was published. So we see how the Golden Rule and the Sermon on the Mount is made livable and possible in a spiritual world because the discoveries of Darwin in
the biological world were as true as they. These things were taught by Doctor Snow, but the good people did not know it.
There can lie no doubt now in the minds of the Commonwealth that the University of Kansas is religious. I is superlatively so. To counteract prevailing opinions, even shameful with truth by men high in rank But on the whole I believe, thanks to the influence of a strong and mighty man of God who has lately left us, that the religious life of the University is now founded on a sound and most manhood and womanhood, and the school have been better prepared for an understanding of the essential message of Christ now that they are open to all the truth of God than they were when they were closed to the science and Evolution. So that the first distrust has now by the earnest but not always informed action of those guiding our religious life, been removed until in some ways there is no school in the state, even among those most professedly devout, where reliance more reverently and under standedly esteemed in its right valuation.
The second cause for distrust of the University has not yet been removed, and I must speak of that later. It is the circumstances that led up to and culminated in the John Collins affair. It was a scramble of our present college "social life," I have wondered that there has been only one such tragedy, for whatever the facts in the case, the real tragedy was not so much in the face of a father terrible as that was, but in the way he way and at all fasten itself upon a student of the University because of the nature of the life he had been permitted to live here by the members of his fraternity and by the University authorities. Those conditions still exist, and I shall refer to them later.
The third cause for our lack of college spirit at K. U. is the Faculty, "the thy shoes from off thy feet, for the thither shepherd thou standest is holy ground."
When I returned to teach in my Alma Mater after an absence of several years, I met on the street corner a man who had been my instructor in college, a man I had always revenged and respected as I do now for what he has taught me. He is the most conscientious man who ever lived in Kansas, and that is the reason why we use him of his interest and regard he holds on that street corner something that has puzzled me ever since. It was: "There must always be a bar between the faculty and the students."
I have come to think that possibly this is part of what was in his mind that the attempt to secure among the students a certain sort of cheap popularity is a dangerous tendency and one that demoralizes alike the student institutions he found. In my permanuations about the high campus I have known of certain faculty men who were painfully and ostentatiously "good fellows." Everybody swears by them; they are in great demand as after-dinner speakers; as leaders of cotillions and faculty chaperones they are unexcelled. Even as fosters of the rattling chip they have not been of these. They are great founders of these. They are flourish as the green bay tree; and in time the sickle is lifted against them and they secure elsewhere a better job.
There can be no sound relation between faculty and student-body which is not based on mutual respect. There is no relation of human life itself which does not require that saving condiment. But I doubt if my good friend taught all that he said, for surely if the instructor between the instructor and the student, I had taken several years before more than one unlawful peep. It was with some little chagrin, perhaps, that I heard a student tell me just this month, at the end of a conference, that he had "found out I was human." Can it be that the average student should have taught his instructor is iohuman? If so, are we defties or devils? Perhaps a little too much of both.
In there a middle-ground between this cheap and easy familiarity of the "good fellow" or "fellowness," and the refined, serene, and tranquil elevation of the short time condescending to nest upon Mount Oread? Is there a compromise between the instructor who retails smutty stories and exchanges personal bandage with members of the bank and the bank makes out his check with a Ph.D. at the end of his signature? Is there a responsibility devolving upon members of this college faculty of expecting no exceptions to be made in their disciplinary committee which they would not expect to be made to other

BATTERY A HAS ENLISTED
THIRTY UNIVERSITY ME
The Battery of field artillery being organized in Lawrence is attracting many University men, despite the fact that no regular recruiting has been attempted on the campus. During the last week, the Battery has enlisted twenty men of which eight come from the Hill. This makes an approximate total of thirty men from the University who have enlisted in this service
Yesterday, Kirby, one of Baker's football heroes, came up from Baldwin to enlist in this organization. Captain Amick says that the next inspection to secure recognition will be on Tuesday for a strength of 150 men. At the present rate of enlistments the inspection will be some time next week.
Plain Tales from the Hill
Back in Podunk the favorite Saturday night sport of the bon vivant was to stand outside the dime store and wait for a catch-as-catch-can date from the girls who dole out the goods to the unwary public.
But the K. U. laddies have a new diversion. They cluster in groups outside Snow Hall on the nights when the women's Red Cross classes meet. And when the meeting is over, Oh boy! Some of 'em are real bold. Why one Launceol pranced up and walked down the wind to see her home. And she turned around and said, "Forget it! You fresh thing!"
Gail Hall can play the loveliest and sweetest funeral dirge on a type writer, SFact. Why she comes down to the sanctum sanctorum (which is what the folks with the tall foreheads call the Kansan) and just performs wonders on the Underwood. One day she syncopated "Crimson and The Blue." Soon she will be able to do jas.
Would it be interesting to see what she writes on the peckagraph? Very well. Prepare for it; asdead; asdead; asdead; and so on and on and on for hours and hours. She seems so happy at her practice. And it has the same soothing effect on the bunch in the Kansan office that a tin can has when tied to the tail of a dog.
Joe Glaim is a janitor. When he isn't jamming he is carrying out German bombs from the offices of professors. Now for instance, Just the other day there came a hurried call from the top floor of Dybe Museum.
Well, Joe rushed up the stairs. Upward and onward he raced clear to the attic where in the dinosaurs' room they hid. In the room he stepped. In front of him was a professor holding forth a suitcase. "Take it quick. It was left here for me this morning." panted the pedal to the it awaits, for I will take no chances."
Later, in a secluded spot on the campus, the suitcase was operated on. From it was taken a lot of paleontological pets that some friend of the professor had sent to him for mounting.
Roy Davidson, c'17, has requested that his views on the disposition of the Senior Memorial Bum be modified. Since it is too far to return to his room between classes every afternoon for his usual afternoon siesta, he now proposes that Spooner Library receive the benefit of the fund and that it be fully equipped with modern sleeping facilities.
"IF I WERE DEAN" TONIGHT
Everything is Ready for Giving of Senior Play Written Recently by Alton Gumbiner
"We are ready," comes the announcement from the cast of the Senior Play, "If I Were Dean," to be presented tonight at the Bowersock戏院. Final rehearsal was held this morning with all accessories being used.
The advance sale of seats for "IF I Were Dean" has been the largest of any senior play for years. Coach Arthur MacMurray announced himself as particularly well pleased with the final rehearsal and promises a finished product when the curtain goes up tonight.
That same bit of mystery which has surrounded the play from the time the prize was awarded to Alton Brown, who remains. The author has refused to give out information and has said, "Wait." Coach Arthur MacMurray has been forbidden to talk. Members of the cast have kept silent concerning the plot.
But the author, et al, have had reasons to be so silent. But this much makes it a dummy in which unfolds queer anger. There are berries from the American Desert that are sleep producers. A person under the effect of these berries sees strange things. Thus the berries is started. How it ends? "Waits."
COL. BURKHART WILL EXAMINE APPLICANTS
A Daily Letter Home—The Daily
Kansas.
Regular Army Officer From Ft. Houston Stationed Here Until May 8
WEED OUT ALL UNFIT MEN
Fort Riley Can Accommodate About Half the Number Who Have Applied
Lieut. Borkhurt, of the 19th Infantry of Fort Sam Houston, Texas, has been detailed by the War Department to examine all the applicants from the University of Kansas who have been accepted by the central department of the U. S. army, Colonel Burkht will stay here until the training camp at Fort Riley opens May 8th.
All the men desirous of attending the reserve training camp at Fort Riley are urged to send in their applications immediately. All applicants should first see W. B. Cobb at the Engineering Building, to secure a card entitled to a physical examination. The next step is to submit recommendations from prominent citizens certifying as to the applicant's character, sobriety, personality, reputation, and ability to command the respect of other men. The applicant returns to Mr. Cobb to fill out the application blank which is immediately of the central department at Chicago. WEED OUT INET
If the applicant is approved, the application is returned, and referred to Colonel Burkham who will co-operate with the branch committee of the Reserve Officers' Training Camp Association, that the War Department recently authorized to be establishes here. Colonel Burkham with the aid of this committee will weed out the applications.
The men appointed to act on the local branch committee of the Reserve Officers' Training Camp Association (RTCA) held by Bean P. F. Walker, who has charge of the taryd cllass courses; Dr. W. L. Burick, vice-chancellor of the University; Mayor W. J. Francisco; H. L. Hinch; Joe Creeks and N. M. Foster.
About fifty men took out physical examination cards yesterday. These cards entitle a man to a physical examination from either Dr. Keith or Dr. H. T. Jones. Dr. Naismith also can turn tomorrow. This physical examination will be made here to eliminate all who are physically unfit, before they reach Fort Riley. The work at the Fort will be unusually difficult for most people to do in three months time work that ordinarily requires six months.
Mr. Cobb in a statement this morning said a great deal of weeding out will have to take place. Fort Riley must accommodate the states of Kansas, Colorado, and Wyoming, the attendance will be limited to 2,500. The offices in Kansas City have received already 3,000应用。Fifty men have applied here and as many more probably will apply today.
BAND WILL GIVE CONCERT
Varsity Musical Organization Appears in Last Public Recital of Year May 3
Do you remember what thrills, what feelings of loyalty, you had when the K. I. band marched around your campus? Did you learn your soul saw your alma mater in a football game? If you do, the simple announcement that this same band is going to give a spring concert in your hometown is enough to bring you out to hear it.
The concert will consist of classical selections, and it will be the last band concert of the year. The University band gives three concerts every year. Two of these concerts are of a classical type, the training the bandmen receive fit to enter the best musical organizations after leaving the University.
While the concert will not feature popular music, it will probably have a patriotic touch. This is especially when the bandmen have enlisted in the Navy. Some, but not all, of these men will assist in the concert. J. C. McCanles, director, has rearranged the band to offset the loss of these men, and he must that the concert will rank among the musical entertainments of the year.
Prof. S. J. Hunter, state entomologist, is in Topeka today attending a meeting of the Agricultural Committee of the Council of Defense which was recently appointed by Governor Cappler. Chancellor Frank Strong is also in Topeka this morning as a member of the same council.

K. U. STUDENTS ARE LOYAL
Mr. Kanaga has been heard a second time and still in the minds of fair-minded and observant persons the students of the University of Kansas are not walking exemplifications of the slacker spirit. His latest communication is somewhat sander in tom but it fails to carry the conviction that the men students of K. U. are disfriending from the student of for anyone else's sympathy or惰意
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 1917.
Thank God for life every day, and thank benefactor out of the world. That's what I feel—"Cause
But for the benefit of those persons whose sense of patriotism is bounded by a desire to shoot firecrackers and shout hallelujah it seems necessary to make clear the perfectly abvious position of our men students. Well do we need them, and why our country is at war? Likewise we know there is a crying need for a real awakening, for an exodus to the colors, for a kindling of a spirit of sacrifice such as is essential for the successful promotion of war. But the rank and file of our men students are doing what many others have not done—they are coolly considering the situation—and in their schools they are instructors, faculty members, and last but most important, the advice of their parents.
It took our country two years to decide on war and our national government many weeks to finally formally declare hostilities. As yet our policy is not clearly defined. Our executive branch has not thrashed out the part America is to play while legislators are weighing the relative merits of the volunteer system and conscription. As yet the president has issued no authoritative call for volunteers. In the face of these things then is the college man considered a slacker because he has no rushed into some military unit?
Furthermore when our Chancellor urges a normal conclusion of the school year; when such men as the British representative Mr. Balfour, defines the immediate needs of the Allies as food, and openly state that they will not be forced to wait at this time merely increase the supply burden; when the best informed men of our country and University are urging careful consideration, prompted by firm resolve to do what is best for our country; are K.U. mer to be disparaged as cowards, slackers and disloyal citizens simply because at this time, three weeks after the declaration of war, only one third of the population was gone into training preparatory taking up service?
To answer directly the charges in Mr. Kanaga's latest charge would be to burden our readers with information which they already have and which is likewise accessible to any other person. An examination of the figures in Registrar George O. Foster's office will show the estimates made by Mr. Kanaga to be several days or a week old. Students are leaving every day, and the enlistment figures are mounting rapidly. Is it any that already one半 of the men students, of military age and physically fit, have either enlisted or are now affiliating themselves with some military unit. And when the proper time comes the remainder will go.
Don't bother yourself to be ashamed of your Alma Mater Mr. Kanaga, the men of the University of Kansas are going to war. They have never bemiried the good name of our states in past wars, or in any other endeavors requiring patriotism. We will send out full quotation, and it is without
egotism that we say we will be glad to compare their achievements with those of a few who now question our loyalty. And let it be hoped that they will not leave here imbued with the spirit that prompted a K. U. man to throw himself into miles away, in which to unjustly blacken the name of his Alma Mater.
THEY THINK WE'RE NUTS
"University to Grow Vegetables on Campus" says headline in an exchange. We take it that up to this time nuts have been the chief item of production—Daily Illini.
"Above all, do not rush off hastily and enlist. That was the great trouble in England. The college men there seized the first opportunity to dash to the front and were among the first to die, men whose brains would have made them of invaluable aid to their country as officers."—Purdue Exponent.
The most wasteful thing the university student can do is to offer himself for work which he is not well qualified to do.

KEEP COOL
The fever has seized us. With war actually declared, preparations actually being made, and millions of American citizens, whatever their blood-lies, ready to respond to the call of their common country, the war is dire. In their mind, men are doing and saying things that in their calmer moments they would leave unaid. The pacifist is silenced, the neutral whom most of us called "pro-German" holds his peace, and, with a few exceptions we seem agreed that, now that we are actually at war, war is not the only issue for us; and that is to support our government and President. And that is as it must be.
We are eliminating all things German, and frequently in a noisy way. Hotels changing their names so that they may not lose money. German fried potatoes are not being served in places where they have ever appeared on the bill of fare. Men feel it unnatural to admit that they are geerman or of German birth, and their loyalty to America they feel it necessary to pity themselves for the German blood which flows in their veins.
What a pity. Are many of us no better than those mad folk who must beat their breasts to kindle the proper degree of rage. Must we discard all that is German, good, bad or indifferent, no other reason than that it is German?
President Wilson, and be it to his credit, has declared this to be a war, not against the German people but against the German government. It is a war for democracy, for the German as well as the Russian, for the French, for the Germans, for every land we have only kindly feelings. It is against a government that we wage war—Indiana Daily Student.

Things which are happening on the campus of the University in these days make some of us ashamed to think that they come from American students. We have passed by the disastrous service in Company M or other organization, ready to grant them the excuse that matters from Washington on down to Lawrence are unorganized and that many men prefer to wait until more definite programs are established. Personally I believe that many of our men students who have not clearly defined lines of service before training counts, will come forward ultimately for military service. This we can rest secure in in some degree of resignation, although the institution is thereby standing in line for uncompliantary comparisons when it compits its one distinctively local military company to accept enlistments from outside and to close its recruiting outside. The uncomplianted inmates are not coming fast enough to allow the men stationed there to earn their duty pay.
But when the University paper, the Kansan itself, prints in its editorial columns an open and avowed insult to the uniform and to all the students who have donned it—students who are taught the same thing of service to come out and do the plain and obvious thing which lies before them to do—then patience comes to an end. It is hard to find words in which to express disgust in strong enough terms for the person who could have penned the words of that president of the nerve and spirit the motive of vanity enlisting. What we need in this institution today are more men with the conscience and nerve to enlist, and above all a spirit which condemns satirical phrases aimed at the uniform of the United Army—yes, a training incapable of thinking in such terms.

WHAT IS THE MAT-
TER WITH K. U.?
(Continued from page 1)
students in similar danger of reprimand? Have the faculty members themselves and through their relatives quietly held back from extravagance and waste, thinking of the possible influence of their example? Are not some of the faculty members themselves in the student body and shove of "social existence"? The "pretty boys" and the "baby dolls" do not exist in the student body alone. The faculty has its saviettes and its diplomacies, its nursing hopes and its incubator fraternities. Can you blame the students if they sometimes spend five dollars for favors at their spring break? Have you ever been mortgaged to provide for Haley's orchestra? Well, can you?
Then, there are others, devoted teachers, wholesome personalities, in no way flashy, moutry, or pan-helenic, who became members of certain organizations in other colleges where fraternity life is subservient to the college and not the polychromatic factor, and where the alumni put first pride in their man in what sort of Who's Who they may stand enrolled the name of Princeton, or Dartmouth, or Amherst, and second the name of their fraternity. I do not wish to be understood as attacking fraternities. I have too many friends here in K. U. among them, and particularly in certain Eastern colleges where fraternity life in my opinion is a better and more useful place than it can be found to find it here, to seem for one moment against a system which, though at present in Kansas fanned with serious dangers, is yet capable of the highest and most devoted service. But I do say that the faculty members of fraternal organizations have not exerted the influence they should have exerted themselves or the influence they should have taken in this situation here more normal and more like the Eastern situation. And in that respect at least have good men and women been at fault. I don't mean that faculty members should interfere in undergraduate interests; but that the young people of Kansas are with almost no exception open to friendly suggestion and that many times they would welcome older counsel in matters of interest. This is the most difficult to handle by themselves. But to the undergraduate phase of this problem I will return later.
There is the type of faculty member here whose whole knowledge of the Commonwealth he is serving consists in the geographical observations he may make from the train windows of his home, and Lawrence. What he knows of the great people of this State is drawn from his observations in the classroom, of a group in only a small degree representative of the great mass of the population. Students are not, however, educated to the vantage of the communities from which they come. Education has changed them by a magic touch; they are or may be citizens of the republic of letters or of science; but there are other republics than the republic of letters, one of them is the republic of folks.
Such a faculty member, especially if he be young, is apt to lament over the fact that "our students are not trained in foreign languages," or that they think the Apollo Belvedere a sort of corn-plaster. These young gentlemen are academic, very. They are also opinionated. They are good leaven. Some of our dough is rather flat. They stir things up, but they

And even academic gentlemen have melted in the warmth of Kansas country hospitalization and have been sent to Kansas. The trouble is that we don't acknowledge it, but veneer it over with the cheapest and handiest varnish we can lay hold of. Having learned that the Apollo Belvedere is a marble works down town and set him in front of the house to hold horses—only now all our horses are Fords. We go after culture with a club, and spell it with a capital K. But we are aware that we do not stand along with it, and we don't mind finding out a better way to decorate our lawns, and our persons, and our church steeples, if some one will just tell us how to go about it, instead of murmuring "How fortunate it is that we have Endora have never had any French"
This type of faculty member is apt to be rather closely related to the man who says, "What do students come here to work their way for? I have no patience with that sort of thing. Why don't they bring enough food to school without working?" This matter strange, but I am quoting exactly. Such a person reminds me of the famous little princess of the Bourbon House who, when told that the people were starving for lack of bread, exclaimed, "But why don't they eat cake?" Such a faculty man has never found the loss of a golf ball; smarter for a day's grumbling, and with all his personal vigor is a drag upon the best interests of his profession.
I yet I have no doubt that he, like others, and like myself as well, did not mean an impatient utterance to him as his genuine and sober attitude.
And then we have the fog-horn. He is known by the tinkling brass and the sounding cymbal. Verily he is a man of the zephyrs, and putteth up his own portrait on the family mantle-piece. Like the morning-star he rises and like the setting-star he sets. And the place where he lives will him no more, and the peoples rejoice.
"Last scene of all that ends this strange, eventful history" is the out-and-out, ranting, rip-roaring, swashbuckling, fire-eating, regular devil of youth. "It has a vague hopelessness; he is indulgent to youth, but he knows the scheme won't work. He isn't a rabbit, for he will fight; and I must confess that there is something in his sardonicly patient smile that is real at least. He was very young when he was he never young? Was he born that way? Alas, what sin is he now expiating that he finds so little to hope for, so little that is fine and true and gentle in human nature, so tender and human. That governs himself is greater than he who takes a city; but verily he enjoys the joke of his own existence is on familiar terms with God. I cannot think but that Allah now and then shakes with human laughter, then Paradise were dull indeed.
And in closing this article, let me say that if any one desires to ticket and label me as I have classified my colleagues, in the same amiable spirit, I shall be quite able to furnish him with any data desired; for I am in a position to know my own deficiencies far better than those of others, and

the beam in my own eye is quite as large as the mote in my neighbor's. But the cheapness that in my next article I shall point out as I see it among the students, begins with us faculty members who in our weakness can only speak some one. never take a decisive step and never speak an honest word.

Many Stars Will Be Out And Chances Are Good for
The annual spring interclass meet will be held on McCook Field Saturday afternoon. Four classes will compete and there is a better chance this year to win one of the four medals offered in all of the events than ever. For Rodney, Statler, and Sproul probably will not run in the meet.
If these three seniors are not entered, the freshmen will probably be the biggest bidders for the meet, with several speedy men on the track, and good men in practically all field events. In the dashes they will have Haddock, Ayers, Grissom, and Dornsay, senioriors, Havilah in the dash events, and the juniors have O'Leary. The sophomores have Casev and Rustenbach.
Seward, Rustenbach, and Barclay,
all sophomores; Lashmet, Armel and
Welty, freshmen and Stuewe, a junior
are the best men in the hurdles.
In the quarter the seniors will have
either Sproull or Rodkey if they run,
while the sophomores have Welsh.
The juniors have O'Leary, Clift, McIntyre, and Rodkey, Jr., will probably be the freshman entries.
In the half Rodkey, a senior, Brown and Murphy, both sophomores, will run, and the freshmen will have Coffin and Kietman. Rinker, a sophomore, Sproull and Stateler, seniors, and Welsh and Wear, sophomores probably will be entered in the mile. Stateler, Howland, and Groce will run the two mile for the seniors although Howland may not participate. Stateler is the entry for the freshmen.
Marshall and Haddock for the freshmen appear to be good for some points in the shot put, while Casey, Vernson and Woodward will show some good tossing for the sophomores. Small, for the seniors, and Ziegler, for the juniors, seem to be the best men. These men will also throw the discus.
Treweekie will probably be at the Penn Relay games and this will weaken the juniors as will the absence of Rice if he is entered in the eastern meet. Aside from these men, there is Smith, a good sophomore jumper, Seward another soph, Wely, a freshman, and Street, a junior. In the pole vault Zigler and Pattinson make the best shots. In other varies pole vaulter, will vault for the sophomores, while Wetly will work for the freshmen.
Treweeke and Grutzmacher also are sure point winners in the broad jump. If Grutzmacher goes to the Penn Games he will weaken the seniors, but if Grutzmacher goes to the fall interclass meet, and Brooker appears to be the best man for the sophomores. The sophomores won the relay in the fall meet and will also be successful on Saturday. The freshmen and seniors will also have good teams in this race.

Miss Stanton at Y. W.
Miss Amida Stanton, of the department of Romance, Languages, spoke at the Y. W. C. A. meeting yesterday afternoon on "The Danger of Superficiality". Miss Stanton pointed out two types of superficiality: the kind that finds effusive expression for only hide your feeling and the kind that attaches too much importance to machinery and does not consider the individual benefit derived as the supreme test. The latter she considers as the dangerous type.
Miss Stanton also told about the work of the American W. Y. C. A. House at Paris as she knew it when she attended the University of Paris.

"IF I WERE DEAN" IS YEAR'S DRAMATIC HIT
NUMBER 141
Play Written by Alton Gumbiner,a Student Wins Favor in First Presentation
GIVEN BY SENIOR CLASS
All the Idiosyncrasies of University Life, Are Reflected In Snappy Production
They won't call Alton Gumbiner author of "Coping the Grape" any more; after this performance last night he will be called author of "If I Were Dean." For the audience liked Senior play. The students laughed when they shout. They have laughed and called for the author between acts.
The play didn't have much plio after all. The Senior, Henry Pegues, about to be expelled for participation in the naughty rally, tells the Dean, Allen Burch, what he would do. Then he has a dream through eating a mescal bean from the Painted Desert. His reign as dean is a failure and he calls for the Alma Mater, Helen Clark, who has given him power and then takes his power and then he wakes up. The Dean grows lenient and instead of expelling him takes five hours of his credit. Then he finds that he can graduate after all and they lived happily ever afterward.
STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN
It was a queer play. Many strange things happened, some of them in the dream which makes them excusable and other incidents that seemed as though the play had been written for the audience more than for real. He had the audience like it. And the author showed proof that he knew what he was about. His chief delight was in telling on the professors and dealing with local events, some of Sour Owl type. The play was good in spots and the spots were numerous.
The cast represented the kind of folks you like to see play in college plays—or any other for that matter. Most of the actors have had previous experience before K. U. audiences. A noticeable feature of the play was that there were no lead feminine parts. Code Burton, the Senior and Medalist, the teen stenographer shared the lead. Helen Clark, Alma Mater, was impressive in her dance and philosophy of college spirit.
WOMEN CHARACTERS GOOD
JEMEN CHARACTERS GOOD
WOMEN they looked and acted like the character she acted like Muriel King, member of the Board of Administration, and Susan McDonald, as a member of the discipline, did their character sketches well.
FIVE MORE WEEKS OF IT
And the nine men characters were well chosen. No better Senior could have been found and Allen Burch as the Dean was crusty and meek as deans are supposed to be. Professor Kibosh, Harold Lytte, lisped just as he was supposed to do. Lewis Hull had spoken with the propriety and acted it well. Robert Robertson, as the traveler, Mars Travelyn, knew the trenches. And the others were equally as good in portrayal of their respective characters.
Two Holidays Will Break the Mo notomy of Continual Cramming Until End Of Semester
Four weeks more of study, one week of final examinations, then commencement—that's the program for the rest of the year at the University of Kansas. But May offers two holidays as compensation for all its labor.
The first holiday is Tuesday, May 1, which will be devoted to singing, dancing, and pageantry instead of the battles of former days.
Campus Clean-Up Day will have no place on the University calendar this year. Formerly May 1 was devoted to this purpose, but the students used the day for activities other than freeing the campus from weeds and trash.
The second is Memorial Day, May 30. This comes in the middle of final week and is usually celebrated by college graduation. University plans nothing, for this day.
Matty Mattonte will meander to Mankato tomorrow to be official magistrate at a declamatory contest among high schools of Jewell County in the night. Matty is a right smart judge of forensic fireworks, say we.
Electrical Engineers Meet
The Electrical Engineers held their regular meeting in Marvin Hall last night.

DR. STANTON OLINGER TO HEAD SCHOOL IN JOWA
Doctor Stanton Olinger, head of the Westminster Bible Chair, has received an offer to become president of Buena Vista College, Storm Lake, Iowa. This institution ranks as one of the foremost Presbyterian schools of the country and has a strong corps of teachers who are well-acceptable this call and leave for Storm Lake about June 1st to take up his new work.
Doctor Olinger came to Westminster Hall six years ago. During this time over 2,000 students have enrolled in Bible classes in the Hall or at the First Presbyterian Church, and approximately 7,000 students have been entertained in the Hall. The host of student friends Dr. and Mrs. Olinger made while here will miss them greatly.
CANDIDATES FOR SPRING ELECTION ARE NAMED
Two Complete Tickets An nounced With Havekorst Against Glasco
The loud buzz of the political bee was heard on Mount Oread this morning when candidates and supporters of candidates for positions on the student council, the athletic board, and cheerleader were placed in circulation. Workers have been busy all day, and M. L. Gear, secretary of the student council, said that a number of petitions when they are presented, before six o'clock tonight.
Walter B. Havekovet, '118, and Jap Glasco, c'18, are the two candidates for president of the Men's Student Union in law school politics, in dramatics and as business manager of the Sour Owl. Glasco is best known for his work as president of the County Club Union during the campaign for the seat of the last legislative session. The fight between them promises to be a hot one.
Paul Schmidt, c'18, has announced his candidacy for vice-president of the council. He will run on a ticket with Havekorset. Schmidt is known for his work as a debator. Dummy Ueary, well known track star, will be candidate for vice-president. He announced his candidacy this morning.
Foster Dennis, m'19, will be a candidate for secretary-treasurer of the state ticket. Rudolph Uhrlaub, of Sharonville, is opposing him for his same office.
But one candidate for cheerleader, Rusty Friend, had appeared at a late hour this morning. Joe Pratt, rumor-er, as a candidate, that he will run.
Many candidates are in the field for offices on the council proper and on the athletic board; but due to the fact that petitions have not yet been filed, it is impossible to get a complete list. John Donaldson, c'18, Wint Smith, c'18, and many others are out for membership on the council. Tim Shreve, e18, announced his candidacy for the athletic board this morning.
V. S. G. A. ADOPTS WAR BABY
University Women Will Care for One French Orphan for Twelve
The Women's Student Government Association has heard the call of the starving children of France and has appropriated funds to care for one French war baby for a year. No delegate will be sent to the conference of Western Inter-collegiate Self-governing Minneapolis, Minnesota, Minn., April 28 thus saving fifty dollars as a donation to the National Red Cross society.
A special committee has been appointed to represent the women and work with the Senate disciplinary committee. The women also cooperated with the Men's Student Council in the operation of the book exchange
A women's mixer will be held in the afternoon of May 5. Stunts will be given by the women of the various districts, and the Council will award • loving cup to the cup which puts the best stunt. Several successful social events are planned by the Women's Council this year. Then middy dances, were given, and the Women's "Annual Prom" drew a large number.
Many Women Enter Tennis Meet
Twenty-eight women of the University have entered the tennis tournament that is to be held in May. Five courts south of Robinson Gymnassium are in good condition, and practice has begun. The freshmen have the largest number of entries at the present time. No definite date has been set for the tournament.
The Council will offer its usual $50 scholarship for women next year and will probably offer an additional one of $50 in the fall of 1917.
MEN'S MASS MEETING CALLED FOR SATURDAY

This is an opportunity for the men of this community to come together in an intelligent discussion of the political and economic problems facing the people of the United States in the present crisis, Chancellor Strong said. He said they should upon the men of Lawrence a sane and bright board in their efforts to help the country in the war with Germany. Professor Davis, who has been a close student of international affairs for years will speak of the part played by the United States in other conflicts in history. Captain Jones and Clarke will tell those alone by their respective companies on their summer and will also urge the enlistment of more men to bring these units up to war strength.

College Spirit: Some Heresies
Essay by Miss Josephine Burnham in Daily Kansan College Spirit Contest
Members of Prof. C, C. C. Crawford's history classes are seeking to wreck their dire vengeance on the Kansan reporter who had the audacity to give away their secret formula for No. 1 history recitations. Professor Crawford announced that since there are a few objections to recitations that method, he would discontinue them. Now the brilliant ones are frantically searching for formula, which they declare they will carefully guard. In the meantime they are preparing their lessons every day.
If it is found later that he is not doing this work, all credit which he has received will be taken away from him. He can be given the morning there was so much trouble connected with withdrawing from the University that he thought it would be better for students to remain at the university for the remainder of the semester.
Mrs. C. E. Easterly, in the office of the dean of the College said this morning that 150 students had withdrawn for enlistment or other work in the service of their country, and that as many more had dropped part of their work in order to take some of the courses in military work. Any student may withdraw if he fills out the blanks which must be signed by the employer and parent, also the student in which he states the work which he is going to. These will be sent to all students who withdrew before the new ruling of the Chancellor's cabinet, Mrs. Esterly said.
G. W. Marble, of the Fort Scott Tribune-Monitor, is lecturing to Prof. S. O. Rice's class in Editorial Practice. Dr. Rice will talk to classroom classes tomorrow.
Students in the School of Law are disgusted with the treatment which the professors are giving them if they attempt to withdraw. They are permitted to withdraw but if they do this, their professor will not receive an in which they receive credit says Uncle Jimmy Green, dean of the School of Law.
What are the impulses which, in a community so constituted, lead to the fostering, the glorification of college spirit? They are curiously mingled: instinctive affection for scenes assocated with experiences (especially experiences of nature) or unnessess of one's own; the common unreasoned and sometimes unreasonable demand that one should love and obey the society in which one happens to be placed; the eminently reasonable demand that every individual, seeing that a highly organized society has an appropriate machinery and the machinery of instruction should recognize his obligation to make some measure of return. Another motive to college spirit, in young and old, is love of excitement
It is generally taken as axiomatic that "college spirit" is a valuable and even necessary thing; but what that spirit shall be like, or to what ends it shall be directed, is a cloudy matter. It will clarify discussion if we first examine the conditions under which the demand for college spirit arises, and under which that spirit must have play. Compare the make-up of a village with that of a village, and it becomes clear that even a large college is a society of a very distinctive type. Family relations of individuals are, even with members of the faculty, associated with rather than merged in the group; the student-body is almost strictly homogeneous as regards age. The college resembles a church, or a fine church organization, or a company of volunteers, in that membership in the group is mainly voluntary, and related to the purpose for which in theory the group exists. There is this difference, however: the entrant into the college need make no formal pledges relating to the communal purpose. Hence all sorts of confusion as to the claims of introspection and genuine spirit. Finally, after graduation students quasi-membership, often a very energetic and influential one, in the college.
and of keen emotion. In youth, particularly, most of us have not yet harnessed to any cause, ambition, or absorbing duty that emotional and motor energy which we feel within us. Before it is disciplined to its treadmill round (which we thought be a Pegasus flight!) we hitch it impulsively to personal, theoretical, or social enthusiasts.
Evidently college spirit is only a specialized form of public spirit, founded in human interdependence, and quickened by feeling. Its soundness as a form of public spirit should be tested by the aims of the college, the laymen, and laymen would show, I think, that in America the idea of the college includes these ends: scholarship, unpedantic, always related to life, but of integrity unassailable; democracy; training for citizenship; less important, but still legitimately included,—themes amuse for these ends and co-operation with students in healthy college spirit in the individual and in the community as a whole.
We may know these to be real ideas if they begin presently to be troublesome; nothing so sternly exacting, nothing so revolutionary, as an idea.
RAEMAEKER'S CARTOONS
TO BE EXHIBITED HERE
Scholarship. It is a mistake to assume that the scholarly reputation of the college is solely in the hands of the faculty. If you desire that your alma matar should be identified with the best things, intellectually, and socially, you want your desert is doubtful; you will wish rather that a 1 or an A from your college should be recognized everywhere as standing for indubitably excellent work. But grades are trifles. Far more important is the diffusion of an alert, vigorous intellectual life. Every student who sneers at fidelity, a curious purpose in a fellow-student, whose eligibility rules for club clubs and athletic teams, helps to lower the intellectual tone of his college. So

Fac-similes of 125 of Louis Raemeker's war cartoons some in color, have been ordered by the department of drawing. These will all be sold for a dollar each, and the profits will go to the Red Cross Association.
Raemaker is one of the most powerful cartoonists the war has developed. He has made others see the truth, and that no other man has been able to.
Plain Tales from the Hill
Sweet feminine voice at the phone:
"Oh, say! Could you let me have some old copies of the Kansan for a week back?"
Horrified circulation manager: "Oh, please! You must have the wrong connection! Just call Doctor Childs over at the Gym."
Hats are pretty high these days.
And when one gets one swiped, one peeved. That's what happened to Charles Walsh, '19. Let's see. Why, it was worse than that. Charles has had five (count 'em) hats lost this year. Lost mysteriously, let's say. He doesn't hang his chapeau in the cloak-room or halls any more. He lugs it along with him.
One thousand and some heads cut off and the future snipped from many budding lives. No! This is not a war scare head nor the subject of the report of the National Association of Social, Moral and Economic Investigators. It's only what happened on the campus yesterday. And the golden dandelions are being slain rightfully and felitely.
Just another story about the Red Cross survey, last Saturday. It seems that some persons in North Lawrence have clisters. That's all well enough. The point to this adventure is that some of the clisters do not have very healthy lids.
Anyway, when one young lady from the Hill began to count nouns north of the Kaw she put her foot into it. That is, into the cintern. You see, the lid was rotten and consequently a stranger was easily taken in. She lost her notebook and fountain pen. That's all.
You read it, of course. That character sketch of K. U. in the Kansas yesterday right next door to this flapdoodle. Very well. Now Mr. W. B. Wattles superintendent of the printing department, is a loyal K. U. supporter. So when he read what Mr. Willard Wattles had to say about the Alma Mater school.
Soon that idea took on a wordy form. The paper cutter groaned and whined. The press clanked and bumped. And then Mr. Brown smole a smile. For there before him lay three little brown-back pamphlets. And on each little brown back was printed: "What is the Matter With K. U.?—Answer to an Essay Written by a member of the Faculty."
This morning Mr. Wattles made a social call on the Kansan. While sojourning in the land of type he was asked to write, and who hauled off and said this to him;
Token was taken. Title read. Aha
Then some one else had volunteered
to what was wrong with K. U.
Well, will see what is the matter
with K. U.
"Friend Wattles, grant me a moment of time. Bring you here a moment of time." Take him
And then Mr. Wattles opened the pamphlet. Inside was white paper Nothing else. But Mr. Wattles appreciated the joke.
C. A. Haines, c '19, is an artem-
belier in squirrel bait and also that
experience is a dear school. Recently
as he was descending Fourteenth
Street he stopped to pick up one of
the docile appearing little squirrels
that he might have the pleasure of
stroking its soft coat. No sooner had
the animal from the ground
than the inmate left mimicking
the stroking hand for the hard-shelled
fruit of the wodes. Now, Haines
says if a squirrel can't tell him from
a nut, he is not going to furnish
them with bait.
And they sat. Some tatted. Some crotted. Some chewed. But the point is that they sat and waited when they all began to wait again.
All the Chi Omega upperclassmen dressed up in their best duds and hurried out of frat meeting Monday night to get a good seat in the living room, the freshmen farce, an annual entertainment demanded of the youngsters.
After forty minutes a committee was sent to investigate. Behind the curtain was a large sign that had been waiting, probably, as long as she had come in. It says a farce is an empty show. Goodgey, we have all rone to the movies."
Sigma Delta Chi will give a smoker at the Phi Kappa house tonight at eight o'clock for George W. Marble of Fort Scott.
And then we wonder why there is a poor water supply on the Hill.
ENGINEERS SPRUCE UP FOR ANNUAL SHINDIG
Athletic Events Will Lead Up to the Final Celebration Friday Night
BANQUET IN GYM TONIGHT
Parade Dropped This Year to Cut Expenses of Big Holiday
The preparations for the big banquet were completed late this afternoon. Each engineering society has decorated its own tables, and each will have a representative on the program. The four course banquet will start at 10 a.m., and the staff will be toastmaster, Dean P. F., Wellsman will speak on "What To Do," and Prof. Erasmus Haworth will follow with "How To Do It." Two of the alumni, R. A. Rutledge and T. J. Strickler, of Topeka, are on the program.
The festivities of the seventh annual Engineers' celebration will begin tonight with a big banquet in Robinson gymnasium. They will continue through the day, and the Engineers' dance late Friday night. A full program of baseball games and field events have been planned for tomorrow. Marvin Hall was humming with the same enthusiasm as those preparations for former celebrations.
DROP PARADE TO CUT EXPENSE
In accordance with the tendency to avoid unnecessary expenses plans for the spectacular parade which has ushered in former Engineers' Days were dropped this year. The baseball games which have heretofore been three innings long will run five and seven innings this year. The baseball tournament opens tomorrow at 9 o'clock with the Civils vs. Mechanicals, the Architects vs. Electricals, the Biomedical vs. Miners. The winners of last night's play for semi-final decision, and the winner of this game will in turn play the winner of the first game for the championship.
The time for starting the track meet was advanced to 1:30 o'clock in order that it might close in time for military drill classes. There will be twenty-four separate events in the obstacle and spectacular races and four tugs of fun will furnish plenty of joy and excitement for the crowd.
AWARD TOTAL OF 172 POINTS
According to the rules agreed upon a total of 172 points will be awarded. Forty of these will be allotted to the baseball games; twenty-five for the winner and fifteen for second place. Ten points will be allowed for the tug of war, and 122 points for the track meet. One man can only enter one track and two field events. In the field meet five points will be awarded for first place, three for second and one for third place.

W. A. A. CHOOSES OFFICIALS
More Interest is Shown in Coming Splash Than in Any Other Women's Athletic Event
Officials for the women's interclass swimming meet to be held May 3 were announced this morning by Coach Hazel Pratt. The starter for the meet will be Manager W. O. Hamilton; the judges, Miss Sarah Laird, Mrs. H. W. Humble, Coach Beau Olumphin, Dr. Josephers, Dr. Naismith, Dr. Dowell Child, and the clerks will be students but as yet they have not been chosen.
So many candidates came out for the class teams that an elimination game will be held Monday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. to contestants in the meet will be present.
"There is more interest and enthusiasm among the women swimmers over the meet than has been shown in any previous athletic event," said Matt. The captains of the class squads are attending their candidates every day in anticipation of her team carrying off the honors in the final clash."

YOU'LL BE THERE
It'll be next Tuesday. Down on McCook Field. Pretty girls will trip lightly over the greenward to the sweet strains of music promulgated by Director MacCanles' University Band. Fifteen or more departments of the University will march in a mammoth pageant. Everything and everybody will be represented in the pagent—from the liquid air machine to the Gold Dust twins. After the pagent there'll be a show—an exceptionally novel show, in pantomine—staged by the students in the department of public speaking. There'll be lights, music, color. And laughing girls. And smiling boys. And happy, happy spectators.

CONSCRIPTION
"Women In Annual Splash" writes the star head-writer of a college news staff. Why the pessimistic inference?
We hear a great deal these days to the effect that there is no necessity for a military draft in this country. Canada, we are told, with her eight millions of population, has raised nearly 500,000 volunteers to oppose the Kaiser. From this it is assumed that the President can obtain all the volunteers he desires, even up to 1,500,000 should he wish them. Therefore, conclude the opponents of conscription, it is a reflection upon the character of America's 100,000,000 citizens to assume that it will be necessary to use the draft at once.
This country is at war. It has been at war for nearly three weeks. Germany, as yet, has failed to officially recognize this fact. If our government is to make her realize it, there can be no better way by raising an immense army by conscription. Further, there can be no better way of making the citizens in this country realize what has happened to us.
With affairs in their present muddled state, and no definite talk of sending men to Europe, the great bulk of the people are not taking the military side of the war seriously enough.
Call all the young men of America, between certain ages, to the colors! Drill them carefully, thoroughly. When they are trained, another group of young men will have reached the eligible age. America will soon have an army—an immense army—ready for whatever must be done. And that army will have been raised in the fairest way known—by conscription. It is a way which makes war come home to every family; a way which, through this fact, the people will become con-
War is no child's play, to be in-

vined that America is in this war to do a real service.
DILATORY SENIORS
Procrastination, the yname is senior class! The eleventh hour has arrived and the Senior Memorial Fund has not yet been called out.
In less than six weeks the members of the senior class will be alumni. Is this your class going to be graduated without coming to a conclusion as to what is to be done with the memorial fund?
This is, indeed, a momentous question but can it be so important that neither the president nor the committee after a year's time can decide for what purpose the funds shall be used? Preceding classes could at least reach a conclusion even if it was only to add another tomb stone monument to the campus.
If the president and committee can not determine what should be done why not have a meeting of the members of the class and let it be decided by vote.
"The real patriot is he who sees the faults of his fatherland with an eye clearer than any eye of hatred, the eye of an irrational and irrevocable love."—Sir Gilbert Chesterton in the London "Daily Times," a dozen years ago.
Romance is the fourth dimension of life—it takes a lot of high class thinking to make it real.

"BUSINESS AS USUAL"
There has been a rapidly growing spirit of disorganization of University work as a result of the war excitement among the students and the faculty, in spite of all the efforts of the more levelheaded to preserve calmness of thought and sanity of action. The majority of the students are letting their routine work go, although they have not decided to continue their studies and of the year. They are simply infected with the general feeling of irresponsibility, in the fact of a catastrophe which demands individual thinking and decision in spite of the mob spirit which governs our actions.
Of course much of this sort of spirit is directly traceable to the appeal to all primitive emotions man of importance of the best of his reasoning powers. Yet the University student should have enough self-control and common sense to insulate himself from the general panic. Will it help the country if you试听 it? Will it win the war if you weep over it, or spill noble rhetoric over it, or listen to patriotic songs when you ought to be studying? If you believe that it is your duty to leave the University now and join the army, do so; if you think you can do more good by waiting until the school year is over, in the name of common sense, make your decision, leave off your sentimentality, and act like a grown-up man! There is no purpose for idolism in this work because you are called on to make sacrifices! There is no time for aimless fluttering of attention, for a listless performance of the work before you! Make your decision, do your present工作 like a man, and live up to the tradition of the American race!-Minnesota Daily.

COLLEGE SPIRIT;
SOME HERESIES
(Continued from page 1)
does the one who permits himself habits of inaccuracy, or who never studies or reflects except under the lash of some class assignment. A student who is not actively, in the class-room and out-, alert for discussion, well-informed but not dogmatic—contributes definitely to the standing of his college; he may make things have happened) have the outside world within a decade or two.
Democracy in the college has no necessary reference to any form of government; it means simply that every individual shall find his true place, according to his good breeding, education or chance to accidents of wealth or ancestry. Such democracy—merely logic and fair play—to a large degree flourishes in our colleges. But like other great ideas, it still awaits its perfect realization. Money and fine clothes sometimes give a student an importance in the eyes of his fellows. We are not expected to warrant. Nor can we speak honestly of this matter without touching upon racial caste. College Christian Associations, naming themselves from the most democratic of all religious teachers, if they exclude any one on account of race, make themselves ludicrous. Most negroes are musically talented. Many students listed to add to the effectiveness of the glee clubs? To couple great things with small, student regulations regarding the wearing of caps, and the military defense of the nation, are now being enjoined on all qualified persons, whatever their race. Locally or nationally, there is neither logic nor fair play in enforcing a citizen obedience without at the same time granting a citizen's full privileges.
Training for citizenship will largely take care of itself if the college is permeated by alert intelligence and by a spirit of democracy. Perhaps we should especially stress the former. We need a hundredfold more of interest in public affairs, of desire to be educated and of desire to appraise schemes of reform. There is widely prevalent a view that students are trained for citizenship through being forced to comply with "traditions," and through the hilarious collectivism of rallies. These things have their value. But a community is always in danger of misuse of these principles in the service of identifying the clamor of the majority for true views of public welfare. In a democracy, training for citizenship should include respect for the individual who varies from the type; the variation may prove valuable. The student who has the pluck to sit at home and listen to his professor, should be more for the university than if he allowed himself to be dragged out for a rally, leaving his work in confusion, to attend his classes next day in a sleepy daze. Now, if ever in the world, training for citizenship must mean training in thought. A student whoights academics in order to obtain aholding or what not) is prepared to swell the ranks of the thoughtless and impetuous among citizens. On another side, however, the impulse to public service needs braving: the sentiment of the college ought to tolerate nothing less than the highest standard of honor in examinations and school tests. The student who hands in a theme written by some one else does not usually become a pickpocket, nor a corrupt politician. But neither is likely to develop that sensitive and delicate sense of rectitude which is the only safeguard against the more insidious forms of public dishonesty. This skill needs toning up, it is in this matter of honorable work.
To sum up all, the finest type of colleges spirit, in individual or in group, is that which allies itself in intelligent fashion, for example, and, even at the cost of singularity, courageously adheres to them.
Fun, in this dark world, requires no advocate. The problem is to provide the due quota of fun without sacrificing other aims. There is a natural impulse in human nature, especially in youthful human nature, every now and then to throw up one's hand to give it away or to release late hours. But a love of fun (masquerading itself through the sight of bonfires built with stolen combustibles, which is too frequently vociferous, at dead of night, in residence streets, where hard-working people are trying to sleep, is training college citizens to be selfish and antisocial. In an otherwise idle college community is wilfully shut out of the fun, we impair the democracy of which we boast. Indeed, almost all the moral problems of student life are resolved by one simple rule: never to procure one's own amusement at the cost of actual or potential wrong to another. Obviously, if fun (dramatics, athletics, society) leads one to scamp one's lesson, there does not seem to be any obvious is that great discovery, which, alas some "students" never make, that there is fun in downright, hard, close study.

RED CROSS CERTIFICATES DO NOT MAKE NURSES
The Classes are to Learn Principles of First Aid for Home Application
The Red Cross class in first aid, under the direction of Doctor Dorothy Child, now has an enrollment of 250 women. They are divided into companies of twenty-five, the maximum number of class permitted by Red Cross rules.
The regular course of ten lessons prescribed by the American Red Cross is given, Dr. Child recently received her certificate from the national headquarters and she has her as an instructor. The Red Cross supplies cards that will be given to the class tonight. They are now out of print, owing to the great demand for them. The demand for all Red Cross supplies has been so great that enrollment cards and certificates can not be supplied to all classes as soon as they organize. The enrollment for this class have not yet been received.
An examination will be given at the end of the ten lessons by a physician. A certificate will be given by the Red Cross to every one passing examination, however, the certificate does not make a Red Cross nurse.
"The idea of the course," Dr. Child said, "is to teach people the principles of first aid for home application. There is only one real connection with war. Doctors and registered nurses will be called away from this country in great numbers later and the responsibility of caring for the sick and injured in country and town districts will rest on the untrained."
BY THE WAY
German Play
The German Club will give a play called "Der Geheime Sekreter," Saturday night at eight-fifteen o'clock in Green Hall. Admission is free.

HOME ECONOMISTS FIND ALFALFA FLOUR USEFUL
Experiments Prove That Weed:
Taste and Green Color
Can Be Eliminated
"Alfalfa" biscuits! delicious and wholesome!
So says Prof. Elizabeth Sprague, head of the department of economics, who has been conducting a series of experiments with "alfaflafa flour" in bread-mashed potatoes. Her food source heretofore has not wholly desirable because of its strong weedy flavor and green color. Experiments in the department of economics however, have eliminated both objections and the appeal and biscuits of fine flavor and quality and high food value have been made.
The department made its own flour by grinding alfalfa leaves in a food grinder. Chlorophyll and other coloring matter is dissolved from the flour, thus eliminating the weedy taste found in alfalfa flours. Chemical anions in the meat of the cooked alfalfa flour looses none of its food properties by the process.
Varying proportions of the alfalfa flour are mixed with common wheat flour, with graham flour, and with whole wheat flour in the baking experiments. The maximum amount of alfalfa flour that may be used successfully, however, is 10 per cent, according to Miss Sprague.
The food of the average man lacks the necessary mineral or ash constituents, since a large part of it is composed of wheat flour which loses these minerals. Alfalfa flour has them and puts them into the bread. In experiments it was found, that by adding 10 per cent alfalfa flour to ordinary wheat flour the mineral content of the bread was increased about 100 per cent and the protein content 25 per cent in making a much more nutritious bread.
A letter from C. F. Langworthy of the United States Department of Agriculture has been received by Miss Sprague, in which Mr. Langworthy acknowledged Miss Sprague's work in the use of alfalfa as a food and soil supplement so that experiment with "modified" or bleached alfalfa flour.
While the immediate results of these four experiments are more for the miller and manufacturer than for the housewife, it is for her ultimate benefit that the experimenters use the afilier and biscuits on the tables of K. U. boarding clubs may be a common sight one year from now.

One Fourth of College Men Now In Service of Their Country
The exodus to the colors continued!
One-fourth of the 900 men enrolled in
the College have withdrawn in order
to enlist or to go out on Kansas
land and to be put in prison,
a food shortage during the war.
Another two hundred are devoting
several hours daily to drill or other
military instruction.
One girl, Ruth Beverstock, College, has withdrawn from part of her work so that she may do. gardening work here in Lawrence. She was furnished a piece of ground by J. D. Bowerstock and is now at work raising vegetables. These will be given to the Red Cross, she says, when they have matured.
The exodus to the colors continues!
Dale恩 Templin said this morning the College was looking forward to a natural shrinkage which would come as a result of the war. Several one-year instructors in department of the College are likely to be affected by a decrease in enrollment. But no man will be any longer next year. The Dean says that there will be new problems and duties for the College to handle next year.
Approximately 900 men were enrolled in the College at the beginning of the second semester, according to Dean Olin Templin. Of this number 93 have left the University for farm work, 86 have left positions as substitutes for men who have been called out to serve under the colors.
Matinee 2:20
The idea is to drop part of the newer members or put them on a reserve list and if there are more students enrolled they will be used.

JAYHAWKERS WON FIRST M.V. CONFERENCE GAMP
Costly Errors on Part of Both Teams Made Loose Contest
SCORE WAS 13 TO 2
Nebraska Pitchers Were Unable to Cope With McCarty's Hard Sluggers
Coach McCarty's progesed won their opening Missouri Valley Conference game yesterday afternoon on McCook Field from nine by nine in the final scored score of 13 to 2.
CRAIG FANS NINE MEN
Opportunity hitting by the Jayhawk slugger with a score-getting style of baseball was responsible for the one-sided victory for Kansas. The Nebraska errors were costly, however, in that they were responsible for a few of the Kansas players getting on bases.
The Cornhuskers made one of their two runs on Kansas errors and earned the other one on straight hitting. The error were more costly than the Kansas errors because the Kansas players were more adept at pulling out of the holes caused by their errors. Craig famined nine of the Cornhuskers in retiring, but five of the Kansas players by that route.
Pickett was removed from the box in the last half of the sixth inning after Melhennay had just smashed out a three bagger and four Kansas players had crossed home plate. He was sent off at center field as the landed on the ball for another hit and scored Melhennay. The Jayhawkers batted around in this inning.
HIT BOTH PITCHERS
Berkwest did not have any more luck with Coach McCarty's sluggers than his predecessor, and four more runs were made the next inning. Smith, the Kansas catcher who replaced Carter in the eighth inning tied with Radell of Nebraska for the highest batting average by batting one thousand per cent. He did this by making a hit in one time at bat, while Radell made three hits out of as many times to bat.
The same teams will clash again this afternoon.

SPORT BEAMS
Capt. George Smee smashed out a home run hit in the game yesterday and was only kept from being credited for the hit. Mr. Binksak's first baseman, wiltfully grabbed hold of his shoulder when he was rounding first base and held on until Smeer jerked loose. He then had plenty of time to make three bases. He would have could see no excuse for the first baseman, despite him in such a manner.

Paul J. Rutherford, c20, from Wellington, Kansas, is a cousin of the Nebraska athlete. He played quarterback for three seasons on the Wellington high school football team, but did not come out for freshman football practice last fall because he has a bad knee.
Mgr. W. O. Hamilton was out to "If I Wean Dean" last night in a full dress suit. This is a little unusual for the manager, and some of the men have been among themselves to give "We Want Hamilton," but finally backed out.
No honorary and professional fraternity or hash house games are scheduled before Saturday. On that day, however, six fraternity teams and twelve hash house nines are scheduled to play.

Two Pan-Hellenic baseball games are scheduled for tomorrow. One is between the Kappas and the Spartans at the office of the Phi Deltis and the Sigma Nus.
The Umpire in the Kaysee Star says that: "Although football has not been abandoned at the University of Missouri, it is considered practically certain that there will be no Tiger game from Columbia. The matter was discussed during a meeting of the athletic committee. A final decision
The first serious accident of the Pan-Hellenic games occurred Tuesday when Gregory, of the freshman squad and who was playing with the Sigma Chi nine, sprained his ankle while stealing second base. A runner took his place at second base and he was partly carried from the diamond but continued in the game, when the Sigma Chis took the field again.
CRACK TENNIS MATCHES
PROMISED K. U, THIS YEAR
If arrangements can be made, K. U tennis enthusiasts are to see some exhibitions of some high class tennis playing this spring. Coach Hamilton and Capt. Allie Cowgill are trying to arrange for some of the best players from the Kansas City Athletic League in this spring. These will include Jack Cannon, Dix Teacheren and other Missouri Valley stars.
NO TRAINING CAMP FOR N.G. 'S!
The schedule this year includes Oklahoma, Missouri, Nebraska, and probably the Kansas Aggies. The K. U, and Aggie tennis teams have never met before, but a meet will be arranged for this year.
The big tennis event of the year will be the Missouri Valley Conference tournament. This probably will be held at Columbia, but the Rockhill courts at Kansas City have been off-ended. The last year was not finished last year will be begun all over again and played through to a finish this year.

Captain Jones has received information from Adjutant General Martin that National Guardsm cannot enter the training camp for officers at the training camp. General further stated that in his opinion there was no advantage in assigning a member of the Guard to the training camp. Available instructors at the training camp are so individual instruction is impossible.

MAY BOOST WORK OF TEACHING REQUIREMENT
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 27, 1917.
May Not Require More Work But Will Restrict Subjects for Prospective Teacher
COLLEGE RAISES PROTEST
School of Education Attempted to Raise Requirements Last Summer—Withdrew Plans
Students in the College who wish to graduate with the state teacher's certificate may be burdened with more specific work if the new requirement are trying to establish are made a part of the work for the degree. Other colleges in the state still have the old requirements which the State Board of Education needs necessary for obtaining state permission to operate.
COMMITTEE ON NEW PLAN
DIFFERENT CLASS OF WORK
Last summer the School of Education decided to use new requirements and were about to put them in the cathedral. They went and it protested at once. New rules were not put in force for this year as a result of this action. The new ruling would effect more than one-third of the students enrolled in the Colleges.
DIFFERENT CLASS OF WORK
Dean F. J. Kelly, of the School of Education, will be making the requirements would not be any harder nor that there would be any more hours of work required for the certificate.
In protesting against specific requirements for the teachers' certificate, the faculty of the College wishes to be fair to the School of Education, and at the same time give the students of K. U. the same rights as those of Baker or any other college in the state. As a result of the difference of opinion, a conference was held recently and a commission from each school received work out of their requirement plan. However, the School of Education has authority to change the requirements whenever it sees fit.
"The School of Education will merely say that students working for a teacher's certificate must take more specific subjects instead of leaving it open to students who wish to be teachers to take any work they desire," added Dean Kelly. "We want to turn out better teachers than any college because we have better facilities to do this. State colleges have more required work for the regular A. B. degree, and the school of Aquaculture here requires. In limiting the elective here therefore we are not requiring any more work than colleges in Kansas do in their requirements for an A. B. degree."
MAIL STUDENTS INCREASE
Enrollment in Correspondence Wort of University Steadily Grows in Suite of War Situation
Indications are that the war situation will not cut down the enrollment in the correspondence work of the University. There has been a steady increase in the number desiring work throughout the year. The increase for April has been 28 per cent higher than any preceding April.
Most applications come from within the state, but of recent date students enrolled have been from as far east as Massachusetts, and west to the Philippine Islands. The number of students who have withdrawn from the University for the purpose of their graduation correspondence work, depends greatly upon the location of the Kansas troops. If permanency of location permits, many have expressed their intention to enroll in some work
The fact that the number of applications from other states is so large is attributed to the low rates of the correspondent department and the adjacent.
The subjects of the lectures on engineering problems were suggested by Dean Walker. They contain discussions on: city planning, dams, electric railways, highways, harbors, and water supply.
ALUMNI ASS'N. PUBLIESH
LECTURES BY DR. WADDELI
The lectures on Engineering Economics, by Dr. J. A. Lwaddell of Kansas City, which were given before the students of the Schol of Engineering, have been published by the Engineering Alumni Association and are being distributed from Dean Walker's office.
At the present time the students
at Kwabena have 75 percent of
the total enrollment.
For the past eightteen months, Doctor Waddell has been acting as chairman of the committee on, "The study of economics in technical schools."

    S A D D A D Y S A Y R E D DAY
Wednesday, May 2, is "Daddy Sayre Day," the day the pharmics celebrate. Students and faculty of the School of Pharmacy will have an afternoon's holiday and hold an engagement in honor of Dean Lucius E. Sayre.
The afternoon will be spent in baseball. At night there will be a banquet, with Dean Sayre as guest of honor.
The annual pharmics day has been held for several years, but it was only last year that it was named in honor of the dean.
S CLEARING HOUSE FOR MUNICIPAL IDEAS
Reference Bureau Gives and Collects Information for the Cities of Kansas
A clearing house for information and ideas concerning municipal problems—that is the Municipal Reference Department of the University Extension Division. It gives information and suggestions to cities desiring help in solving their problems of public utilities, sanitation, ordinances, etc. In one month the department was of service to sixty-two Kansas towns and cities in helping them in the administration of their government.
The faculties of the College, the School of Engineering, and the School of Law co-operate to enable the department to work with great effeci-
tiveness. The Department is state. The department brings together the experience of cities of Kansas, analyzes it, and places the results at the service of the municipi-
nal government, the head of the department is Homer T. Dodge, who votes his entire time to the work.
Some of the specific work of the department has been the sending out of information regarding the city manager plan and its actual working out in the Ohio and Illinois cities where is has been tried.
Plans for establishing water plants, ice plants, and other public services have been furnished to cities upon request. Model ordinances covering different phases of city government include planning many cities. Information and suggestions in parking and streets were given to several cities by W. C. McNown, professor of civil engineering, at the request of the Bureau.
POLITICAL POT BUBBLES
Petitions of Candidates for Office Elected in Spring Election May 3
Euthesisum has grown strong on the Hill over the spring election. Two complete tickets for the officers of the Men's Student Council are actively gathering their support together. The most high-profile contest office members of both the council, for which Walter Havelork and Jap Glasco are running.
"I am completely swamped with petitions and cannot get a complete list of the candidates before Monday," said Paul Grever, president of the party. "We're in two complete tickets for almost all offices to be filled are now in the field."
Rallies with stump speeches are being held by the various candidates each night now. Political cards are handed out quietly between classes. Cheerful, confidential faces are beaming all over the campus renewing old acquaintances and making new ones in this fateful last week.
CHEMISTRY BUILDING SAFE
"The Chemistry Building is in no immediate danger," said Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, head of the department of chemistry, this morning. "Since there is little cause of alarm we do not feel threatened by" place guards around the building."
Professor Bailey Feels Little Apprehension Over the Safety of University Department Plant
The above statement was given out by Professor Bailey following an interview in regard to a plot to destroy chemistry plants in this country. Dr. Bailey, who has been blow up the largest chemistry building in the world, which is part of the college plant at the University of Illinois, Guards have been placed around the building at Urbana and there is a possibility that other chemistry buildings should be built. The watchers closely by special watchmen or secret service men.
JOHN S. WORLEY GIVES TALKS ON ENGINEERING
Professors in the department of chemistry here feel little apprehension because of the isolation of the University.
K. U. Man, Now of Interstate Commerce Commission Will Discuss Transportation
Ellis Starrett, c18, returned to his father's farm at Norton, Kansas, today, where he intends to help with the spring planting.
John S. Worley, e'04, of the Valuation Board of the United States,
Interstate Commerce Commission,
will give a series of lectures to University students next week, beginning Monday morning. Mr. Worley will talk at nine-thirty o'clock in Marvin Hill's classroom week with the exception of Tuesday.
Mr. Worley has recently been appointed to a place on an Interstate Commerce Commission Board, being the most prominent engineer in this country, and is at the head of one of the most important committees of the Commission. This committee will apprise the president of the United States
John Worley comes to the University full of interesting material on which he is probably the best author- writer in the field. His talks for next week will be:
Wednesday, "Relation of the States o the Transportation, really Roads"
Monday, "The Theory of Transportation."
Thursday, "Regulation of the Market of Transportation by the State."
Friday, "Present Status of Regulation in the United States."
According to Dean Walker, Mr. Worley is one of the most prominent of the Kansas Engineering Graduates. Since leaving the University in 1904 he has been associated with the Riggs-Sherman Company of Toledo. His work with this company was largely in the designing of older railroad equipment and railroad construction. Later he became the senior member of the firm Worley and Black, consulting engineers of Kansas City.

Applicants for Enlistment Camp Should Act at Once Examinations Soon
University of Kansas student applications for admission to the officers training camp which starts May 8 now total eighty-five. As the applications must go to Chicago to be approved, only those men who send in their applications with the next three or four days will be able to go.
All of the expenses of the men will be met by the government, and a bill is now before congress advocating payment of a salary to all men who give their time for three months' training to become officers. The amount of salary advocated is about a hundred dollars per month.
All men desirous of attending the Officers' Training Camp to be held at Fort Riley, May 8 should see to their applications immediately. These are to be filled out and sent to the Commanding General at Chicago. Upon the return of the application, Colonel Burkhardt will examine the applicant covering the following points: physical character, personality, education, and ability of applicant to command the respect of officers and enlisted men.
Colonel Burkhard received orders this morning, authorizing him to examine applicants properly referred to any officers expressed the hope that citizens will wire their congressman to support an appropriation to give pay to men training to serve their country. They said that many men of all ranks would join this step on account of financial reasons if no arrangement is made to secure pay for them. The government will provide for actual expenses only, because the appropriation is barely adequate for this purpose.
Four University men were among the first sixty-one applicants from the Kansas City district for places in the reserve officers' training camp at Fort Riley to qualify for entrance to the camp. Acceptance of their applications was received in Kansas City yesterday from Chicago. Those who have qualified are J. H. Dykes, G. R. Smith, M. W. Gates and F. C. Butcher.
Those who have already put in applications need not apply again. Their cases will be placed before the examinee board in a short time.
Both University Bands will meet in South Park tomorrow morning at nine-thirty o'clock to march to the meeting at the Bowersock. The first band will practice in Fraser chapel at one-thirty o'clock.

DEAN WALKER HEADS BAKER GUARD COMPANY
Has Assurance of Chancellor That He Can Withdraw
on Leave
Dean P. F. Walker of the School of Engineering has accepted the invitation to become captain of the new National Guard company which is being formed at Baker University in Baldwin, instead of entering the officers' reserve corps as he originally intended.
Arrangements have not been completed for forming the company, however, and it may not be ready to go when the general call comes. If it is mustered in, it will be a part of the Third Regiment.
Mr. Walker will not be compelled to resign as Dean of the School of Engineering in order to head this company since Chancellor Strong has assured him that leave of absence will be granted.
Dean Walker was unable to state
how much charge he received,

Plain Tales from the Hill
George W. Marble of the Fort Scott Tribune-Monitor has this to say about women journalists—"The worst thing about newspaper women is that the very best ones always get married."
Lindsay Pegues is Henry's dad. He is a business man in Hutchinson. But the queer thing about it is that Mr. Pegues was once a nator jes' like Henry. Moreover, just thirty years ago, an opera was presented in the old Bowersock theatre—on the same site as the house. And the handling of that piece by L. S. Pegues So the Pegues family seems to have, as its favorite pastime, the furnishing of leading men for Lawrence productions.
Fame goeth afar and sitteth in strange places. Ye, even unto the steam-heated hamlet of Kansas City. For Alton Gumbiner hath received from many maidens in that distant place. One epistle read:
"It isn't in a spirit of romance that I am writing to you—but simply to describe the experience."
The war may have cut down classes, but here is the worst falling-off in attendance on record. It may not be generally known, but there is a professor of philosophy and logic on the Hill called Arthur Mitchell.
Most of his students decided it would be better to dodge bullets and cut capers with cutlasses than to stay through the year. Consequently, there are two classes under Professor Mitchell with a combined enrollment of two. Instead of having one man come at 9:30 and another at 1:30, a convenient time has been agreed upon to meet in one "class."
"Put it right in there, old boy; go your best; you'll never beat that pitch." No your guess is wrong; this is not a baseball game, but one of the most famous coaches in theators' Amalgamated Association of Master Horse Shoe Pitchers. The field of action is located directly back of the Chemistry building. Reprepeats the goal of the Administration Buildings and the Gymnasium belong to the Association.
Once again has the power of the press been proved. Since Scoop Hill began writing editorials against cutting across the campus, he hasn't left the sidewalks once. No, not a single time!
NO FRILLS OR THRILLS ON FAMOUS OLD DAY
Prof. B, F. Moore gave his class in Elementary Law a mid-semester quiz this morning. Now that it's all over, the students are accusing Professor Moore of assault and battery; Professor Moore thinks the students guilty of contributory negligence; both parties to the contract believe that they have a right to damages; and it is highly probable that a decision will be rendered as soon as Judge Moore gets time to grade the quiz books.

there were not as many thrills in Engineers' Day for the students east of Haworth Hall this year as formerly, but the engineers, despite the fact that rain prevented the big performance down on McCook field, found ways to celebrate. The men who helped with the rallying cry of the Engineering clan was heard on the Hill early this morning.
The festivities began with a big anquet in Robinson Gymnasium last night. It was the seventeenth annual anquet, and the engineers lived over there. Ray Nondon, who taught English in the assemage of Fraser Hall when there wasn't any floor there, showed views from his pictures of the all-star football teams, and he pointed out the celebrities from the School of Engineering.
SHOULD WEAR CAPS
Dean P. F. Walker spoke on "What To Do." He brought out the seriousness of the present war with Germany, and said this country should steel itself for a prolonged struggle. G. W. Hagenbach in speaking on Loyalty to the Nation held the point that loyalty and discipline were just as essential in a University as they were in military organization. He believes that the upper-classmen should devise some way of enforcing the freshman cap tradition. The alumni of the University, he added, pointed out that Kansas was fortunate in having an active and energetic university.
'DADDY'' REMINISCED
R. A. Rutledge, one of the old guard from Topeka, spoke on the "Qualifications of an Engineer." Above everything else, he said, an engineer must be a man of integrity. He must master his business and stand ready to make important decisions without wasteful delay. He believes that every student should have two hours for outside reading every day. T. J. Stricler, one of the engineers who worked for the "Service." "Daddy" Haworth pleased the men with some interesting reminences. Each engineering department contributed some little stunt to the evening's entertainment.
The dance in the gymnasium tonight will be the grand finale to Engineers' Day. Shoftall, Palmer, and Will will furnish the music.
PHARMACISTS MAKE PLANS
United States Government is Making Arrangements to Control Medical Supplies of Country
The United States government is making arrangements for the control of all medical and pharmaceutical supplies in this country, similar to the organized supply services of the European powers.
In each of these larger countries, with the exception of Great Britain and Russia, a corps of highly trained nurses is required. The army has the medical and pharmaceutical supply service in its hands. The head of the service in Germany holds the rank of colonel; in Japan, lieutenant-commander; in Italy and France, major-general.
The United States has men fully as capable for this kind of service as the men composing the medical corps and the nurses, and macy is not represented in the country's service in a pharmaceutical corps composed of men equal in rank with those of the medical service, is due to the fact that American physician presets heretofore excelled sufficient recognition for this merited recognition.
CONFERENCE OF COLLEGE
DEANS IS POSTPONED
The Conference of Deans of Colleges of State Universities which had been arranged to meet at the University of Kansas May 3 and 4 has been postponed on account of the unusual conditions prevailing at the present time. This conference includes members from all the central states and other states, and has met equally at the institutions represented in the Conference. It will probably meet here at some date to be agreed upon next year.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students ther than merely printing the news by standing for them, and then playing no favorities; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to leave more serious problems wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

DEAR OLD MOTHER
A communication for Alma Mater has been placed in the hands of the Daily Kansan and is herewith delivered with this paper's warmest endorsement;
Dear Alma Mater:
I take my typewriter in hand to say things at you. It is quite the thing to do, I understand. I know, O Alma Mater, that you have been tortured by much rhetoric, but bear with me a while.
Second: I think that you have been waked on by too many broglies and hobbites.
Third: I think some one should begin to say nice things about you—not that you deserve it, of course, but just to change the monotony of reading long distribs and intellectual mueilstroms in the Kansas.
Fourth: Whether you want me to or not, By George! I want to remark that you are all O. K. and that you are one of the best friends I have ever had (or probably ever will have).
D. L. H.
Fifth: Does that cheer you up?
Sixth: Your loving son.
CHANGE THE OLD ORDER
These are the days when every school in the country-University, college, denominational school—is offering its "highly trained" professors and its "specialists" to the service of the government.
It is true that a rolling stone gathers no moss but a custom steadfastly maintained is not a rolling stone. Some kind of a change is necessary in the plans for commencement week if Kansas is going to be up-to-date along with other universities.
The Kansas thinks that the abolition of the custom of a senior examination is the first change that should take place. If this were done then the commencement exercises could be held before examination week when the underclassmen would still be in town. If the members of the other three classes were on the Hill for commencement seniors would not resent it when they are required to stay during commencement week in order to secure their diplomas.
Each school could arrange to have its day during this one week instead of having the holidays scattered throughout the semester and interfering to a certain extent with the regular regime of the work of the classes.
Many of the large state schools, Missouri, Washington, Oregon and others have adopted the plan of excluding seniors whose work was satisfactory from examination and having a commencement or "stunt" week which is looked forward to by all students as a pleasure rather than a
necessary evil. In this way the congestion of work for the seniors and faculty just before commencement would be avoided.
It is high time the ancient custom of having senior examinations and of having commencement week after the students have left the University is abolished. By the time a student is a senior he has learned that one can get out of college just what he puts into it, so seniors would not become "slackers" if they were excused from finals.
And then Mr. Watties, at the end of the fourth column, points out that he will further continue to tell us "What Is the Matter With K. U." in his next article. Flatterer!
K. U. WANTS A CHEERLEADER
The absence of a cheerleader, to direct the enthusiastic rooting of the fans at the Kansas-Nebraska games, was probably the most noticeable part of the game. The fans were full of spirit and tried to start an "Oh me! Oh My!" for Nebraska but utterly failed as there was no one to lead them.
The Kansan does not believe it is the place of any student who is not elected to the office of cheerleader to appoint himself cheerleader at such occasions. The regularly elected cheerleader, or cheerleaders are the ones who have had experience in directing the rooting and should be the ones to take charge of it at the baseball games. A cheerleader should be a cheerleader!
Be sure you have fulfilled your own duty to your country before you blame others for not doing theirs.
CONCENTRATION
What with the war excitement and spring fever, students have an anti-study combination that is hard to resist. The little thinking the spring fever will permit one to do is directed toward war topics.
Concentration in studying is one thing a student, in order to be a good student, must learn. And the one who has concentrative power enough to stick to his books and not be led astray by the excitement of the times is to be congratulated.

By Edward Everett Hale, written in 1864.
It's time now for the political mud-slinger. He'll be around sure. In vip posters the character of the opponents of his ticket will be assailed. In sneaking whisps he'll lie about his adversaries. He'll stoop to anything, any pretext, to get the office that he is not suited for by his very action in such detestable crookedness. The dirty posters will be out before the election is over. It's a stair in the back of the door, the voter's duty to ignore them, to get at the facts, to know the man that he is voting for and selecting the honest decent man for the position to support him tooth-and-toe-nail. Remember the man whom you elect is your servant for a year and get a good one.

HOW THEY HANDLE THE SITUATION AT JLINJOIS
To the Students and Members of the Faculty of the University of Illinois;
Friends:
nois:
Friends:
In the great crisis which now con-
flicted the country two things are
very apparent.
It does not yet appear, however,
just that he must do or where, or when
he can be mistaken.
First, the nation expects every university to the University of Illinois to do his "blit."
Second, every member of the University is anxious to respond to this experience.
I hope it will become clearer in the course of a few days.
One thing is fairly evident. Men and women will be wanted for many different purposes. University men and women should be distinctly more available for a variety of positions than the average run of the community.
Men of experience like General Wood advises students and faculty allies to stick to their university work schedule. Wood gives a distinct call for special services.
I am hereby calling a general University convocation of all students and members of the faculty in the Auditorium. I will present at 7 o'clock, for the purpose of presenting to you such conclusions as the University administration may have been able to form by that time, and where we may have been able to obtain
Men over twenty-one in good physical condition have an excellent opportunity to place themselves for efficient work by applying for admission from the office of the Military Commandant. EDMUND J. JAMES.
For the present, students and members of the faculty alike can do their best service by giving their utmost energy to their college work so that in any case they can come as near as possible to completing the work of the academic year in a thoroughly satisfactory manner. There are rumors abroad that the work of the University is being suspended during the coming year. I do not think there any probability of such a course of action, nor is it likely to be suspended at any point during the present academic year.
The day of safety first, thank God,
is past;
Today the cry is all for honor iris,
A rite of glory blessed peace,
with honor saved,
And safety—last.

STUDENTS WILL GET JAYHAWKER MAY 15
Ever Before
Editors Say Year Book Is To Be Larger and Better Than Ever Before
"The 1017 Jayhawk will be read for distribution May 15," said Arnol Nordstrom, editor of the Jayhawk "The Jayhawk this year will b larger than ever, containing 48 pages. It will be more in the form of a picture K book than former year books."
A special feature of this year's Jayhawk will be eight three color process division pages. Four of these are reproductions in color of the sketches. The four others are significant sketches made by professional artists.
The class sections will be as large as usual, there being more Senior pictures than ever before. The athletic section will contain 70 pages, most of which are made up of action shots on a large screen by a special fast time camera and artists have mounted them on special display pages.
Special sections this year will be a military section, children's section, and Rock Chalk Jayhawk section. Military section will be made up of an attorney's trip to the University men to the border last summer. The children's section will consist of pictures and letters of prominent students, letters of prominent Rock Chalk Jayhawk section and nothing can be found out about its contents.
The Gay Squawk or comedy section will contain the rarest wit and scandal of the year. There will be 50 pages of mounted snap shots, 35 of which are classified comedy pictures. Snap shots will be scattered through the entire book to take the place of excessive copy.

Tickets for the annual Mate Fetes to be held on the campus May 1 went on sale at the check stand in Fraser Hall this morning. Twenty girls, headed by Itasca Hilman, will sell tickets until the day of the fete.
"There will be no excuse for not having the tags ahead of time," said Miss Hilsman this morning, "there will be girls in every building on the Hill Monday while tomorrow the downtown district will be tagged."
Despite the rain practice for the fete is being held inside and the managers of the big festival say that arrangements are complete and nothing be wanting to make it a finished air performance on a gigantic scale.
A large delegation of out of town people will be here for the fete as the occasion will be part of the program for Mothers' Day at most of the fraternities and sororites. Those in charge of the ticket sale ask that reservations for these people be made now.
NEED HIGH SCHOOL PROFS
Teachers' Positions Next Year Will Be Plentiful in Spite of
War Crisis
The war has not affected the demand for teachers, in the opinion of Prof. W. H. Johnson, head of the teachers' employment bureau. "The teachers are receiving every letter we for teachers said Professor Johnson this morning, "is heavier than it was at this time last year. The demand, however, for teachers to fill administrative positions is not so great as it was last year. We will not be the applicants which we receive are for teachers in high schools.
"I do not think that the war will greatly affect our schools except in the increased number of women which the profession will require to take the place of the men who enlist. If we had an increase in the number of our men teachers will be taken away, and these positions must be filled by women."
Twenty-one men of the Freshmen class were pledged by the Black Helmets, honorary Sophomore society, at noon today.
The men pledged are: John Monteith, Roy Permore, Marmel Idol, Widow Peacock, Gennifer Chas, Shiloh Kushner, Victor Woodward, Roscoe Stubbs, Webb Wilson, Bud Weightman, Howard Ritchey, Ernest Ryan, Bill Massey, Maxson Bench, Mayson Boys, Ellis Wilhelm, Roy Grissom, Stewart Ludlow.

Wooden guns for the use of the military training classes are now being made in Fowler Shops by the new class in industrial training. Since the University classes in military training have received no official sanction from the government, no rifles can be obtained.
Nineteen men are now enrolled in the course. They have withdrawn from all regular classes. Four hours and a half of work a day is given in mathematics and military science are held at Marvin Hall in the afternoon.
The course includes work in machine practice, forging, woodwork, and oxy-acetylene welding and cutting. Students are trained for work in arsenals, munition factories, and other industrial enterprises.
Classes in woodwork are working on camp cots and stools. Other students are being taught machine carpentry, which will fit them for work in the building department of the army. No shells are being made in the shops.

CLASS ATHLETES MEET ON M'COOK SATURDAY
Dope Points to Freshman Victory Unless Sentor Distance Men Pile Up Lead
The spring interclass track meet which will start on McCook Field Saturday afternoon at three o'clock will be held on Friday with the field account of recent rains. Present indications point to a victory for the freshmen although the seniors have a chance to win by piling up points in the distance events. The juniors and seniors will take advantage of their points and so decide the meet for either the freshmen or seniors.
The freshmen won the meet last fall with 53 1-3 points, Haddock and Marshall, freshmen, being the high point winners of the meeting. This was the first time the seniors had lost in three years. The juniors are handicapped by the loss of Trewekoff and Rice who will be at the Penn Relay games Saturday for the finals of their men out for the meet, but their showing will be good on account of the large number of Varsity track men who are seniors this year.
The absence of Trewecke and Rice, the two best. Varsity jumpers, will make the high jump an easy event for any new men. The broad jump also should be comparatively easy, Grutzmacher being the only "K" man in the team, and that is why many of the new material for Greene and Statler are the only men thus far entered.
Rodkey will run in his favorite event, the half mile, and Stateler, Sproull, Howland and Groene are planning to repeat in the distance events. Stateler and Rodkey will be out of town Friday running off two high school meets and may not get back in time for the meet.
SPORT BEAMS
Any man enrolled in the University may enter the meet. Four medals are coach in all events except the relay. Coach W. O. Hamilton and Potsy Coach Hamilton charge of the meet. Coach Hamilton checks this that the meet would be held Saturday unless it rained up to the time the meet was to start.
Nine baseball games are scheduled to be played on Hamilton Field to tomorrow. Twelve hash house nines and six professional fraternity teams will clash. No admission is charged to see the games.
The hash house schedule for tomorrow is:
Division 1:  K. U. vs. Tennessee;
Stevenson vs. Union; Dunkin vs. S. U.
Jenkins vs. C. U.
Division II. K.: K. K. vs. Stoic; Cus-
ter vs. Lee; Schumann vs. Walling
The professional fraternity schedule for tomorrow is:  Phi Beta Pi vs. Theta Tau;  Phi Alpha Delta vs. Phi Chi;  Alpha Cigma vs. Sigma Tau.
The Varsity football candidates will hold their regular practice this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon south of the tennis courts. Coach Olcott says he wants men who intend to come out for the Varsity squad next
fall to report at the track house n five o'clock ready for practice.
The Jayhawker baseball nine will hold its regular practice tomorrow afternoon on McCook Field. The squad was too busy yesterday as the diamond was too wet.
Adrian Lindsey, one of the hardest hitters on the squad, was especially put out by having the game called off. He was declared eligible yesterday morning and wanted to limber up his shoulder ball over the fence a couple of times.
All of the Kansas players were anxious to meet Nebraska again. Half an hour before the game was scheduled to start, Coach McCarty took out what they thought about playing, all of them answered in the affirmative, although it was evident that a fast game could not be played.
CALL OFF SECOND GAME
Rainy Weather Makes It Impossible to Complete Series With Nebraska Nine Yesterday
Fate decreed yesterday that the Jayhawyer sluggers should not meet the Cornhuskiner nine again on McCoak Field, as scheduled. The grounds were wet, and both Coaches McCarty and Rutherford were undecided whether to play. So Mgr. W. O. Hamminton flipped a coin. As luck would have it, "tails" came up and the game was called off.
The next game on the Kansas schedule will be next Tuesday afternoon, when the St. Marys nine will come here for a return game. This game promises to be close, as the Jayhawks lost the game April 14, and St. Mary's errors were responsible for most of the Kansas scores.
The Cornhuskers went to Manhattan last night and will clash with the Aggies today and tomorrow. Comparatives scores of these games will give some dope as to the strength of the Jayhawker nine.
First Scheduled Game of Season With Oklahoma Saturday May Be Called Off
CHOOSE TENNIS SQUAD SOON
The tennis squad which will compete in the Varsity game this year will be chosen some time next week, and they are all playing in a Cup. Ekwo Cornell, this morning.
The first match of the season will be played next Friday and Saturday on the McCook courts with Oklahoma, but the University calls off the match. The University of Oklahoma has dropped their athletic schedule but Mgr. W. O. Hamilton has not been officially notified that the tennis match will not be
Kansas has some expert players this year and has a good chance at the Missouri Valley Championship, Kenneth Uhls, who is certain of a place on the Jayhawker team, is rated as the best player in the Valley. He was not eligible last year as he just enrolled from Leland Stanford. Several other prospective candidates are out to make the team.

TWO K.U. STARS WILL JUMP IN PENN GAMES
Treweeke and Rice to Carry Jay hawker Colors in Relay Carnival
Two men, Dick Treweeke and Carl Rice, will represent the University of Kansas in the high jump at the Penn Relay games in Philadelphia Saturday. The men expect to arrive in Philadelphia to compete for several workout outs before the meet.
Coach W. O. Hamilton is sending Rice because he jumped 6 feet and 1-2 inch Monday in practice. Theweeke has been bothered by the same foot which handicapped his jumping at this time last spring, and he was in Warrington, Mo. the first part of the season. Coach O. Phog Allen. He jumped 6 feet 2 inches in practice there. Treweeke will also enter the broad jump.
Last year Trewecke won third place in the Penn Games with a leap of 5 feet 11 inches, which is two inches longer than his previous spring when he established a new record here. Reber was beaten out of a place in the shot put by several inches. Arlie Muckes of Wisconsin will stage event at Philadelphia last year.
Grutzmacher would have been taken for the broad jump if he had not had a badly crippled foot. Pattinson was not taken because Conch Hamilton said a man should be able to clear obstacles and enter him in the Penn meet and Pattinson has not made that height this spring.
The larger part of the meet is made up of relay races and for that reason Rodicky and the other distance men were taken. Manager Hamilton managed the relay team made an excellent relay team but there was always one or two weak
spots in any team he could get together. Moreover, is sending no response to the team when we call.
The remainder of the track team is slowly getting into shape for the Kansas Aggie meet Friday, May 4. Several of the Varsity track men will be in the interclass meet Saturday and Sunday to prepare candidates to come out more consistently for track practice. The Missouri meet will be held here May 12.

OFFICERS' RESERVE IS HELD UP ONE WEEK
Camp at Fort Riley Will Open May 14—Original Plans Are Changed
MANY APPLY FOR PLACES
National Guard Will be Allowed to go if Release Can be Obtained
All the men who have delayed sending in their applications still have time to get them through. The application has to go to Chicago to be approved and then is returned to Colonel Burchardt, who has been trailed here by the War Wepartment. Colonel Burkhardt then passes on the application, and reports his findings to the Commanding Officer at Fort Riley. The officer at Fort Riley will have charge of the final weeding out process. All the applications will be processed. The men and the men best qualified to lead other men will be chosen.
HANDLE MANY APPLICATIONS
The Officers' Reserve camp to be held at Fort Riley has been delayed a week. Orders will come for the men who have been accepted, about May 8. The men will then have a week in which to get ready for the camp. The applicants, who are accepted, will either be appointed by the Com- munity officer or at Fort Riley's names of the successful ones will be published in the daily papers.
The Kansas City office has sent out about 2,000 applications. Colonel Burkhardt has passed 24 men, of which the most are University men, Dr. Davis, J. H. An Houston, M. Doyle, V. Gott. Clinton W. Kanaga, W. B. Cobb, M. A. Muckard, D. N. Else, D. S. Flagg George Clark, Percy P. Bauch, O. P Hill, E. B. Blincoe, Wint Smith, Wm A. McKinney, Don Woodward, Jno.
Colonel Burkhardt will be in Colonel W. S. Metcalf's office to interview anyone concerning the camp. His office hours will be from nine to twelve and from one to four daily. He will be here until the last of this week.
REGULAR OFFICER DIRECTS
Fort Riley will be in shape for the rookies when they arrive. Several new buildings are being erected to care for the would-be officers. Colonel Friese, who has been detailed to take charge of the rookery, will men to bring as little as possible with them. A locker will be provided for each man but each locker is small. All the men will be delighted to learn there will be provided a company barber and tailor. For a fee of $1 a day the men will be required to any barber service he requires.
REGULAR OFFICER DIRECTS
A regular army officer will be detailed to every company of 166 men.
Colonel Rivers has worked out a plan where each company will choose its own temporary officers.
Reviving Presence of Jupiter Pluvius Brings Smiles to Students And Faculty
KANSAS REJOICES AT RAIN
The men in the National Guard will be allowed to go if they pass all the requirements successfully and secure an honorable discharge. Whether they will be allowed to go without securing their documents is a commitment by the War Department. A ruling will be handed down before the camp will open.
Jupiter Pluvius is making his annual call on Kansas, and his generosity seems to be unlimited. His reviving presence, however, is not received with displeasure at the University, for rain means wheat and wheat means "checks from dad" next winter.
Since last week 2.5 inches of rain have fallen in Lawrence, according to the local weather office. Last night .83 inches fell and there is no promise of fair weather. The whole state has been treated almost as generously as Lawrence; this is the first large general rain since last fall.
A serious damper has been put on election activities, track meets, and the May Fete by the continued precipitation.

The Board of Alumni Directors will meet at the University Wednesday, May 2. This is the second meeting held this year. The Board is composed of graduates of the University.

"DER GEHEIME SEKRETAER"
DRAWS LARGE AUDIENCE
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 30, 1917.
The German play, "Der Geheine Sekretare," under the direction of Mrs. Caroline B. Spangler, held Saturday evening at Green Hall, was well attended. The scene of the story was at the Hotel Bratenwender. The chief complication grew out of the efforts of Wanda, the heroine, to recover certain letters from a desk which contained two secret drawers.
Miss Katherine Campbell took the role of Wanda. Katherine Reding as Clara played with her. Tyson Anderson took the comedy part well, and M. E. Wing carried the character role of the play, that of an old man. Maria had made an excellent in-keeper. Others helped parts in the play. Lucile Blackfan, Gerard Baeur, W. H. Hawkins, C. D. Hunter, Nettie Brown, Helen Hargent, Frank Ohlhousen, Nelle McBratney, and Lora Keeler.
TWENTY WITHDRAWALS CAUSED BY DRAFT BILL
Officers' Training Camp Takes Six Men Including Three Old Track Stars
The passage of the draft bill in Congress is causing more withdrawals this morning than at any other time since sweeping measures were taken by the Chancellor in order that all men in the University might do their bit for the nation. Twenty men have been charged, according to Prof. D. L. Patterson, who has charge of the withdrawals from this school.
Of this number six withdrew to go into the navy, five or six men withdrew to prepare for the Officers' Training Camp at Ft. Riley May 15. Two men withdrew to take the entire munitions course being offered in Fowler Shops by the War Bureau. The others withdrew for farm work
Groene, one of the Varsity two milers, expects to go to the Officers' Training Camp this month. Treweckie and Rice, the two star high jumpers have planned to enter the same work. The absence of these men along with O'Leary, who is a member of the Engineering company at Topeka, will leave a big hole in the Varsity track team.
More than twenty men withdrew from the College from part or all of their work Friday and Saturday. Dean Elih Templin said this morn- day that the exodus continued there would not be many men left in the University.
They will not have to leave for their camp until May 14, and this will keep them in the Aggie and Missouri meet. What K. U. does in the other three meets on the schedule is problematic if these men are not able to compete
POLITICAL SCRAP WARMS UP
Candidates for President of Student
Support in Coming Election
The College will give a spring party tonight in Robinson Gymnasium. The dance will be in the form of a military hop; the decorating scheme and refreshments will be carried out in the national colors.
Enhusiasm over the student council election which is to take place on Thursday mounted to a high pitch over the week end, and thoroughly examines every corner of the campus today. Students developed between the candidates of Walter-B. Havekorst and Jap Glaser for the president of the Student Council. Another hot contest will be the final ballot for the President and Page Waggegner for the presidency of the School of Engineering. "Rusty" Friend is the only candidate in the field for the office of cheerleader. "Briit" Chandler and Milton Walker are considerable enthusiism in their race for the presidency of the College.
COLLEGE IS TO GIVE
SPRING PARTY TONIGHT
But it is the scrap between Havelørst and Glasco that is most talked of over the campus. The Glasco organization made a big move this morning by distributing handbills which link the election of Glasco with the securing of the permanent income for the University. The bills were pretty generally circulated by the students. The feature a statement by Chancellor William Glasco's work for the mill tax in such a way as to make it appear that the whole future of the University depends upon Glasco's election, as he is "the natural champion of the income tax amendment."
The party is open to all University students. Shofastall's orchestra will play for the dance. A new member of the group, organization. The drummer comes from Jinks Company orchestra. Mr. and Mrs. Hanley will be the chaperons.
ALL UNIVERSITY CLOSES FOR CHANCELLOR'S DAY
According to Twelve Year Custom Every School Will Enjoy Holiday Tomorrow
Chancellor's. Day will be twelve
will add to celebrate to celebrate its birthday
In 1905 the chancellor and the fighting classes met and a compromise ended the fights. In their place a holiday would be given.
Chancellor's Day represents the triumph of civilization over brute force. So long ago that the students now present have no recollection of them, May wights were in order for the first of May. Freshmen and sophomores fought, supposedly for the honor of the class.
Then it was decided that Chancellor's Day afforded an ideal time for the May Fete. But Chancellor's Day also seemed to to afford a good time for the beginning of the spring rainy season which by all signs ought to have been begun and over with in April. So the May Fete was either postponed or given in the gym but the holiday was given just the same.
The precedent is holding good this year. The rain fell today and the day before and the day before that. The campus is soaked. There will be no students in there because the students are ready and the costumes are made, but the Gym would not provide a romantic setting for the winding procession of arts and sciences. But the Gym will not on May Pete, the University will enjoy a holiday tomorrow.
UNIVERSITY HAS GARDEN
Department of Home Economics Plans to Raise Corn and Beans to Create Interest
Just below the old pest house on the west campus, five acres have been plowed, harrowed, and made ready by the University for a vegetable garden. The garden is suitable for the planting of beans and two a half for sweet-corn. If there is no drought or invasion of smut, armyworms, or thieves, the products will be ready to harvest by July or Augu-
ries. The dormitory of home economics is planted in this garden a part of a general movement for the care of beans and corn.
An estimate has been made that at least 75 per cent of the vegetables are wasted in the process of preparation and canning. A system of commissions is being established to oversee the products of all garden that every available part of the vegetable is used and taken care of.
BAND TO GIVE LAST CONCERT
Mr. Shea said this morning that no farther plans have been made for the cultivation of the campus. "How can we do it, if the war continues, next year the rosting girls be going to their classes through rows and rows of rosting corn."
University March Song Composed by McCanles Will be Heard
The last big concert by the K. U. band will be given in Fraser Hall Thursday night, at 8:15 o'clock. The program will be varied, containing classical, solo, and patriotic numbers. Dorothy Bell will give a harp solo, and Steimley, Steinberg, professor of mathematics, will sing on horn. Prof. J. C. McCanes, director of the band, will interpret one of his own compositions on the cornet. The program will also contain a march-song, "The University of Kansas," composed and arranged by the director of the band. Prof. McCanes will sing to the University, and is having it published in piano solo form.
Many members of the band who have withdrawn or enlisted will play in the concert, and where this is impossible, their places will be taken by men from the second band. Prof. McCanles promises this concert will be up to the standard set during the past year.

Many Fraternities and Sororities Have Selected May 1st to Entertain Home Folks
Many of the fraternities and sororites will have their annual Mother's day tomorrow. The guests will be entertained by informal luncheons and dinners. Owing to the postponement of the May Fete until Saturday special plans are being made to entertain the students at the University buildings will be open the folks from home will see the places of interest on the campus.
The majority of the fraternities have chosen tomorrow for their annual day, but some will entertain other students on Saturday. The celebration celebrated Mothers' Day yesterday.
Among those who will celebrate tomorrow are: Pi Beta Phi, Alpha Delta Pi, Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Alpha Theta and Sigma Kappa, Alpha Tau Pi, Gamma Chi, Pi, Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Chi, and Phi Kappa fraternities.
The Alpha Chi Omega sorority has selected Sunday, May 6, as mothers' day; the Delta Tau Delta fraternity, Saturday, May 12; the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, Saturday, May 5; the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, Sunday, May 13; and the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, Sunday, May 12.
PATRIOTIC MEETING IS AFFECTED BY WEATHER
Local Military Men Explain Service; and Chancellor Strong America's Resources
Although attendance at the patriotic meeting at the Bowersoer theater Saturday morning was small because of bad weather, the program was carried out. At ten o'clock the K. U. band, led by Director McCanles, opened the program with a short concert. Following this, Captain Jones of Company M gave a short talk on "Some Things about Company M." He told in a general way what would be expected of the men who enter the service, and explained the work of training army men.
Captain Clarke of Company H toole of the work of the Kansas troops on the border last summer, in his talk on "Company H in Action." He advised enlisting at once, as those who go in now will have the advantage of additional training, and will be in line for advancement.
Syllaeemous Latifrons arrived at the Museum the other day for an extended visit. Syllaeemous is an old fossil fish of some importance. He arrived unheralded smugly reposing in his suitcase and an expressman summarily deposited him in the upper hall and left him.
Professor W. W. History of the department of history gave a short talk on "Past American Fighting Spirit," and then he spoke with women accompanied with "The Spirit of Sacrifice."
Sylaemous Laitifrons. Esq.
Takes Lodging in Museum
Chancellor Strong closed the meeting with a speech on "America's Economic and Political Resources," in which he spoke of the great reserve strength that is available in this country.
Now a wait of a few hours or days is nothing to a gentleman of such extended geological age and he made no objections to such discourteous treatment. Consequently he was entirely forgiven until Mr. H. D. Jones happened across this strange suitcase and jumped at the wrong conclusion. He suspected Mr. Latifrons might be a dangerous character of German extraction and handed him over to the janitor to be ejected from the building. However, when the case was opened, full apologies were offered to Mr. Latifrons and he was offered lodging in the Museum.
The Weather
Chancellor Frank Strong leaves Wednesday for Washington to represent the University of Kansas at a meeting of the National Association of State Universities which will meet with the National Council of Defense.
Mr. Laitrons' former home was in the Benton cretaceous limestone south of Beloit. He resembles the Mackerey family greatly but he has no living relatives. He was found by E. D. Luman, c'10, and sent to the Museum. The fossil is in excellent condition, the scales and fins being clearly defined. It will be a valuable addition to the fossil collection of the Museum.

The girl in the upstairs window shook with fear. A man started to cross the street under the are light. Then he darted back and concealed himself in the thick, dark shrubberry. Was it a robber?

Practically Every Man in University Must Register for First Drawing
ASK 11,000 FROM KANSAS
Every Effort Is Being Made to Recruit Company M to Full War Strength
MUST RECRUIT MILITIA
The ages specified as subject to draft in the House bill are twenty-nine and the ages specified in the Senate bill are nineteen to twenty-seven.
Practically every man in the University, including many faculty members, will be required under the terms of the Selective Conscription Bill as a member of military service on the day to be set aside for that purpose by President Wilson. Every man between the ages of 18 and 65 must serve, whether he believes himself to be exempt from service or not.
Approximately 11,000 young men will be included in the first draft by the government as the quota for Kansas under the present plans. But in case the National Guard and the regular army fail to recruit up to strength by September 1, the draft for the state will be increased.
"In case the call for registration comes before the end of the present semester, will the University students be registered to register in their home towns?"
This question is being asked of the University authorities this morning, but definite answer can be given until the War Department are made known.
COMPANY M WILL CAMPAIGN
University students who desire to enter the war as volunteers may still do so by disclosing in the National Guard or at the Army. The company M will conduct an intensive campaign for enlistments before the Guard is called to the colors. Captain Jones is especially eager to have University men enlist in the company immediately, and they will be given the candidates. The chances for promotion to the company seem to be exceptionally good. Captain Jones will conduct military classes within the Company indefinitely along the same lines as they are being conducted in the Uni- at the present time. The Nationals will definitely be called upon, he says, to British large percentage of the officers for the draft levies. The term of the enlistment is to be for the time of the emergency only.
WILL ENROLL EARLY
The first step in the process of selective conscription will be the enrollment of all those liable for service. After the enrollment eliminations will be made under specified rules issued by the War Department. It will properly extend several weeks after the bill is signed by the senator to get the tremendous amount of national machinery for selective conscription started.
J. W. GERARD MAY COME HERE
University Invites Former Ambassador to Germany to Lecture at Convocation Friday
Arrangements to bring J. W. Gerard, former head of the American Embassy in Germany, to the University of Kansas, are being made by the Gerard and speakers, today. Mr. Gerard is before the Knife and Fork club of Kansas City Saturday and the invitation has been sent to him to speak at a conference either Friday or Saturday. If possible he will speak at a convocation Friday.
The committee has extended a similar invitation to the French embassy which is to be in Kansas City next week. Among the party are; General Joffre, former Field Marshal of the French; Admiral Choeprat of the French and Brun of the Chamber of Deputies. M. Emil Havelacque, commissioner of public instruction; and several other French army officers.
M. Haveluce, who is spokesmen for the mission, will be given a special invitation to came to K. U. in case it is impossible for the whole embassy to come.
The Blackfriars Club will meet Wednesday at 7:30 p. m. in 207 Fraser Hall. Important business.
The May Fete has been postponed until 9:30 o'clock Saturday morning. This action was made necessary because of the bad weather.

To know that which before us lies in daily life is the prime wisdom—Milton
A CLEAN CAMPAIGN
Along with the new green leaves on the trees and the swelling buds on the bushes and the green blades of grass and the spring fever and the back work, we have that other inevitable accompaniment of spring—the politician.
Two tickets are in the field for the student council, athletic board, and cheerleader elections next Thursday; and meetings are being held, candidacies boomed, and pledges made at every minute "somewhere on the campus."
Thus far, the election tactics used by both sides have been highly commendable. There has been none of the usual mud slinging; no "squirrelprints" have yet appeared.
With the country in its present state, and with only a minor interest in politics displayed on the campus, let us hope that the supporters of the candidates in the present election will not stoop to low practices.
Let it be a clean campaign!
FACULTY DO THEIR BIT
The members of the faculty have set a swift pace for the students in responding to the country's appeal for aid. With their generous offer of their services they have cleared themselves of the traditional charge o' being theoretical, absent minded professors who do not know or care for any other life than that of the class room.
The medical school will probably remain open during the entire summer. The dean of the graduate school is serving on the State Council of Defense. The department of home economics is offering a course in camp cooking; the department of entomology has started a movement to help conserve the food supply; doctors are giving their time in instructing classes in first aid. Practically all of the professors including the women on the faculty are doing their share even if it is only raising a garden in their back yard.
These manifestations of patriotism should do much to remove the impression that professors as a matter of course are uninterested in practical issues and live apart from the world.
LILAC TIME
"Oh, come to Kew in illac time,
illac time, in illac time,
On, come to Kew in late time—
These lines of Alfred Noyes are
perhaps the first that come to our
minds as we look at one of the most
beautiful things on the campus, the
ilia hedge east of Fraser. It may be
that we cannot remember from one
spring to the next how lovely they
are, but it seems this year that they
have surpassed themselves in beauty and fragrance.
Even at a considerable distance the eye is attracted to the hundreds upon hundreds of purple plumes. To look at them is a feast for the soul as well as for the eyes; but it isn't necessary to look at them to derive an exquisite pleasure from their nearness. Every breeze that blows across the green is laden with their delightful, penetrating odor. It is like a breath of spring necarmate.
Thirty-nine years ago these iliases were set out—blessings on the man who did it—and through the passing years they have been a source of enjoyment to the thousands who have been on Mt. Oread. But even iliacs have to have a humble beginning, and be nursed through their infancy. And so, while few of us will enjoy the shrubbery that has just been planted on the campus, future generations will heap blessings on the planters even as we do on the man who started the lovely iliace hedge of which we are so proud.
SELF DECEIT
There always is a class of students who pride themselves on hating work, but this class seems more numerous since many are withdrawing from the University in order to fill positions made vacant by men who have enlisted. It is a common expression that "every one is leaving, so what's the use of studying if I can get by without it?"
Such persons fool only themselves; they get out of college only what they put into it. If they don't work they are not only wasting their own time but that of their parents as well. The diploma may help win a position after one gets out of school, but it won't hold the position.
Unless you can serve your country better, stay in college and get your credits. Be patriotic, loyal, and true to your Alma Mater.
Incidentally, there is a great amount of talk on nearly every campus as to whether those who haven't enlisted are slackers.

THE CALL OF THE PLAN
Its strips with patriot blood are dyed.
Where farmers faced the foe and died.
And by their glorious deaths there
And through a century's growing might
That old that always proudly stood
The ancient city of Athens.
And bonds of mankind's brotherhood.
Each star in its great galaxy,
Like beacon of light of heaven
With light of eternal radiance
The path of Freedom's grand advance
Now place the first phrase in Freedom's annals grand-
the first for her to make their stand,
The first to answer her stern call,
And first in her great cause to fail!
O torch of Liberty! now wave
across the your signal light
Across the seas your signal light!
At the top of a ship, a nation comes in banners mightier!
A nation comes in banners mightier!
To stand as an estat it stood of oure!
To lead on, O conglans, in Froesburg van!
Lead on, O conglans, in Froesburg van!

HOW THEY HANDLE THE SITUA-

"I don't know what it will be. I'm not married yet."—Chicago Herald.
OFFICERS’ RESERVE CORPS
It is to be hoped that last night's meeting, at which the Officers' Reserves explained in detail, will clear up the existing misunderstandings regarding the organization. The number of men attending the meeting was gratifying to those interested in the organization of the corps who have done all they can to present the actual advantages of the training system to those interested and animal. President Stone in a direct, impressive talk presented the proposition squarely in all its aspects to those hearing him, attempting to point out that the call for college men had come and must be answered. No better opportunity for the university man is open at this moment, but equal opportunity will not be available later. Those enrolling in the ranks of the Reserve Corps are given a complete course in military instruction preparatory to their being examined for commissions to positions which will make them capable of giving great service to the nation. Faculty interested in the unusual opportunity should make preparations at once to file their applications—Purdue Exponent.
"There are students in the University," the dean is quoted as saying, "who have read little before entering college and do not know facts which come from just very general reading. They come from families who never have read and who have not cultivated tastes in cultural lines."
CULTURE AND FLUNKERS
The dean of men at the University of Wisconsin recently said that the chief cause for so many failures was the "families of no cultural tradition."
There is something of truth in this opinion, to our mind. But to assert that the situation outlined is the chief cause of failures is an exaggeration of one factor and a diminution of the importance of others.
Such students, he declared, are sent to college simply because it is the modern fashion to go to college, and you have of any great desire for education.
There is too much evidence to the contrary—too great a number of exceptions to this sweeping statement—to warrant such a belief. Experience is filled with instances of habitual flunkers who come from highly culled families and of high-grade students whose families are far from such a standard.
We believe strongly in this oft-
maligned culture. We prefer cultured
persons as our associates. But we
maintain that culture is only one of
the factors in well-rounded environ-
ment needed, in combination with
good personal qualities, to produce
good students—Ohio State Lantern.
Now, when a street is paved a man is assessed according to the number of streets in the city.
AT OTHER SCHOOLS
THE NEWSPAPER AND COLLEGE MEN
After watching several scores of college men of almost every student type known at Illinois "go through" metropolitan dailies, we are convinced not only that they aren't really read a newspaper. Here is the usual line of attack: a cursory—very cursory—glance at the front page headlines as the sheets are eagerly fingered in search of the sports page; a mere observation in the world of sport; followed by a few chuckles found in the paper's humorous column, whatever it happens to be. This done, our average college man gives a second hasty glance to the screamer and the writer, having satisfied himself that Ty Cobb is still playing baseball, that B. LT. is still funny, and that the United States is not yet at war with Germany, casts it aside for the day. The editorials sellom receive any attention. But, the paper has been really read.
MEN
Our college man has gotten from his hasty glance at headlines, but a faint rumble of the international storm which threatens our own land. And the first duty of a citizen is to know and be concerned in his own country, whether we are in America is no longer an isolated land. We have reached a period of world interdependence; the affairs of France, Germany, England, South America and Budapest are our affairs, and our affairs are theirs. To truly understand other men, to understand others, we must be aware of any of the present day movements, the activities of man, we must see, we must appreciate to a limited extent at least, the influences, the events that are making history in the world today. Our vision must be a world vision, and it is only through a thorough reading from day to day of the world we can get this world vision.
It has been said that the test of an education is the appreciation of an alien interest. It is the obligation of the college man to society to lead in just this appreciation. Yet, can the average student pass the test?
If it has been your habit to give five minutes daily to newspaper reading, adopt a new schedule and allow yourself plenty of time already, you'll find the most important news on the front page. That's why it's there. Don't overlook the editorials. Try reading your news weekly, or just "going through it." Daily Illust.

CLASS ATHLETES WILL HOLD MEET WEDNESDAY
Freshmen Expect to Win if Aggies Contest Keeps Varsity Out of the Running
The interclass track meet was postponed from last Saturday to Wednesday. Coach W. O. Hamilton hoped to have the meet this afternoon but cold weather and a muddy track pre-vented. If the rain continues tomorrow it may be necessary to have the meet Thursday.
If the meet is held Wednesday the baseball game with St. Marys will be held the same day. In case it is not, the meeting will be Thursday, the Varsity men will not be able to compete on account of the Aggie meet here the next day. This will be a great help for new track asses. So who the new men are praying for more rain.
It is quite probable that the meet will be held Wednesday and if that is the case all Varsity men will be in the meeting which may be used as a try-out for the Aggie meet Friday. The seniors appear to have the best chance to win if the Varsity men are in the meet. If no Varsity men are able to compete they will travel away for the freshmen. The postponing of the interclass meet will give the men more time to get into condition.
BAD WEATHER STOPS ALL VARSITY BASEBALL
Coach McCarty Hopes to Mee St. Marys in Scheduled Contest Tomorrow
The damp rainy, weather has put McCook and Hamilton Fields in such an unusual condition, that Coach McCarty's baseball players have not played on the field during day afternoon when they rumped on the Cornhuskers by a score of 13 to 2.
The strip about fifteen feet wide around the base lines is in the worse shape because the grass has been skinned off the weed. The coach said, "We want to keep it squared for practice again just as soon as the weather permitted."
The Jayhawker nine is scheduled to clash with the strong St. Mary's nine on McCook Field tomorrow at four o'clock, if the weather clears off autumn and you pick up a blighter 'The game promises to be much better' than the game at St. Mary's April 4 when the Jayhawkers won by a 6 to 0 score, because the St. Mary's nine made a considerable number of games which probably cost them the game.
Adrian Lindsey, the slugging second basman, has been declared eligible and it is probable that he will win. Lindsey is the pitcher, the pitcher. Lindsey was one of the most feared batters in the Missouri Valley Conference in 1915 and he shows promise of obtaining that honors by living up to his form in the practices.
Captain Smee is confident of winning although he predicts the game will be close. The Kansas players slugged the ball out for sixteen hits in his first start and the captain believes the team will also hit the St. Mary's pitcher.
Student tickets will admit to the game, but fifteen extra cents will be charged for seats in the grand stand. "Dates" will be allowed according to Skin Grever, president of everyone is expected to cheer for K. U. An exceptionally large enthusiastic crowd was out to the Nebraska game.
SPORT BEAMS
The Hash House games which were scheduled for Saturday were postponed because of rain. Gordon Street, of the Dunakin Club, said yesterday that he did not know just when the teams would decide to play for the managers of the teams to decide on a date on which their teams could meet.
The professional fraternity games were also postponed because of the rain and will probably be played some time later. The dates have not yet been decided upon.
Rain also caused the postponement of the Nebraska-Aglaie games at Manhattan Friday and Saturday. The game here Wednesday has been the only Missouri Valley Conference game of the season for the Cornhuskers although they have been scheduled for four games.

Carl Rice started working in track when he first entered school. He was what the old Varsity men termed a "dub". He could jump but he did not compare with the Varsity men. The next year he was outshadowed by Treweke. But the latter part of the year he came to the fore although nobody ever thought he would be able to clear six feet.
This year he began to come forward as a star when he tied with Treweke in the Aggie indoor meet. His showing in the Missouri meet was also of the caliber of a coming man. Then last week he was sent to the Varsity men were all of the Varsity men were gind. He placed second against some of the best men of the East by jumping six feet. Rice is a junior.

By Clearing Six Feet Kansas Man Takes Second in Record Event
$5 and up
The showing of Rice was remarkable considering the star jumpers of the East whom he had to compete against. This is the first time Rice has gone back to the Penn games, his splendid showing this spring season, and will be assured. All of the pole vaulters on the Penn meet failed to clear twelve feet, the third place winners going only 11 feet 6 inches.
Carl Rice won second place in the high jump, the only event in which he was entered at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill delphia Saturday. He jumped six feet. The winner, O. Larsen of Brigham Young, Utah, broke the intercollegiate record established five months ago by leaping 6 feet 5% inches.
The Missouri mile relay team helped uphold the Missouri Valley, by winning second in the mile relay. Pennsylvania won the race. Simpson the high hurdles but failed to break the record. He was cleared grass course. Simpson is alleged to have gotten away to a bad start which is supposed to account for his not breaking the record. Kansas track fans who have seen him run over the hole made of breaking almost any hurdle record if he is in good condition.
Dick Treweecke, the only other Kansas entry in the meet, failed to place in either the high jump or broad jump. The condition of his right leg probably accounts for his poor showing because he has been jumping over six feet this spring, but still managed to go for several days before he left for the East and it was hoped that his leg had been put into good shape.
Many stars of the big eastern schools were not in the meet this year on account of the war. Many of the athletes in the schools back East have enlisted as they have in U. U. and the western universities.
