PROFS WON'T WEAR ROBES
Seniors Have Voted to Wear Caps And Gowns But Faculty Says "Too Expensive"
"Seniors probably will wear caps and gowns at commencement but faculty members have decided they will not, because of the general movement to simplify the commencement ceremonies," J. J. Wheeler, chairman of the executive committee, said this morning.
The seniors voted to wear caps and gowns at a senior mass meeting held a few weeks ago but the war situation and desire to eliminate extremists may change the decision. The executive committee will have no voice in the matter.
Dean P. F. Walker was in Baldwin yesterday attending some matters concerning the National Guard unit there. Dean Walker has consented to take the capacity of the organization.

RESERVE CORPS OPEN TO NATIONAL GUARDS
Decision Approved by Secretary Baker—Will Examine Applicants at Once
MANY APPLY FOR PLACES
Recruits Increase Since Passing of Draft Law—Second Camp May be Necessary
The War Department has opened the Officers' Reserve Corps training camp to members of the National Guard units, whether in federal service or not who have been approved for appointments in the Officers' Reserve Corps. That was ordered as a result of an opinion handed down by the Judge Advocate General and approved by Secretary of War Baker.
The passage of the draft law by Congress has helped to increase the number of recruits to the training camp. If the present rate of applants continues, army officers believe that a second camp will be necessary.
Colonel Samuel Burkhardt received orders from the War. Department to examine all applicants directly. This will dispense with the necessity of sending the applications to the Central Department at Chicago. All the examinations will be conducted by Colonel Burkhardt here. The camp will open May 8, although designated to attend may report at Fort Riley not before May 8 and not later than May 14.
The simplified procedure was ordered because it was found the plan of sending applications to Chicago, from where they were referred back to Lawrence could not be handled in time for the opening of the company. The number of men that can be handled at Fort Riley will not exceed 2,500, it is expected that more than that number will pass the mental and physical examinations. In that case the 2,500 men best fitted for training will be designated. All the men who are accepted will be notified to report Commanding Officer at Fort Riley.
All construction work is at a standstill in Junction City, because all the carpenters have gone to Fort Riley to help rush the completion of several landmarks in house the house the officers. The plan is to complete the work in six days.
Colonel Samuel Burkhardt has accepted fifteen more applicants of which most of them are University men. W. K. James, D. K. Trivett, Frank J. Loren, John D. Shreve, John C. Fast, Harry Lelands, Stanley B. Garnett, Lynne Garnett, O. W. Murphy, C. A. Sutton, Sam Pickard, Albert C. Foulke, Henry S. Pegues, John P. Sladen, and Herbert W. Paul.
TO TEACH MUNITION MAKING
"A few more men can be accommodated in the munition courses in the shops and laboratory of the mechanical engineering department," continued Professor Sibley. "University credit is being allowed to those students who start the work not later than six weeks may commence." Of six weeks will end June 2nd and no new students will be received after the present week."
Professor Sibley Offers Six Weeks Course in Simple Lathe Machine Work for War Deployment
"While men are given a preliminary training such as to fit them for munition workers," said Prof. F. H. Sibley of the department of mechanical engineering, "applicants should understand that they can not be taught in six weeks enough to enable them to accept positions as first class mechanics in such factories. No munitions are made in Fowler Shops, or in other commercial work equipment or other commercial work. The work is entirely educational and done mainly in the machine and forge shops."
Work for War Preparation
"Each student," said Professor Sibley in explaining the course, "who signs up for the course is registered with the U. S. Civil Service Commission and it is understood that he will accept employment with the government if it is offered. It should be understood that taking this course does not necessarily exempt men from conscription into the army."
A three-thousand dollar consignment of chemical supplies, for use in the department of chemistry next year, arrived this morning.
Formerly, such supplies were imported from Germany, but these supplies, most of which are glass, were made in America, and have proven to be reliable in protecting the German products. More such supplies are expected later.
EXODUS CAUSES NEW CLASS ORGANIZATION
All Work in Military Training Division Rearranged to Meet Emergency
New Officers Have Been Appointed for the Four Recently Formed Companies
DRILL TO BE CONTINUED
The Voluntary Military Classes are being organized because of the expected exodus of the leaders to the Officers' Reserve camp. There will be four companies in the new organization. All the men in the Officers' Reserve camp are invited to the rolls, but the men are invited to attend the classes and the drills.
The companies will hold their drill together at four-thirty o'clock on the afternoons of every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. About 100 men were dropped back into work because of irregular attendance. Two classes which were organized primarily for the men who were planning to take Officers' Reserve examinations will be discontinued. Class 4 in Organization will resume in May. The class in Court-Martial will be discontinued after May 3.
The classes in Field Service Regulations and in Drill Regulations will be consolidated into one, meeting at a university's oclock Tuesday and Thursday.
WILL CONSOLIDATE
The class in Topography and Mapping will meet at 15:15 p.m. m. Tuesday and Thursday with a class period of 40 minutes.
The class in Military Engineering will meet at three-thirty o'clock Tuesday and Thursday, with a class period of 50 minutes.
In checking the class rolls of the Military Training School with Dean Templin's list of withdrawals, it was found that five men who had dropped work to enroll in the military classes had not done so.
All the classes will meet in Room 108, unless it is otherwise indicated.
OFFICERS ANNOUNCED
The new officers are: Company A—Captain, C. C. Williams; second lieutenant, F. C. Helwig; Corporals, A. B. Weaver and W. S. Riley. Company Captain, C. Capitans; second lieutenant, W. P.

CAN'T USE RED CROSS NAME TO ADVERTISE
Concerts, Dances and Meetings for Red Cross Must be Under Own Supervision
The Red Cross will stand for no benefit performances which are not directly under its control according to a statement issued this morning by Prof. J. N. Van der Vries. Too many people are using the name of the Red Cross to advertise different events and get people to attend.
Several cases of this kind have occurred recently and in order to put a stop to them the Red Cross society together with the Douglas County Sports Department of the defense league issued a notice this morning warning against such action.
The Red Cross is the only society of its kind authorized by an act of Congress and the use of the name of the organization is not to be used for advertising purposes. Any entertaining game or the display of the Red Cross must not only be conducted by the Red Cross authorities but the entire proceeds must also go to the society. Under no circumstances is the Red Cross allowed to go into any scheme on a percentage basis in order to finance the entire proceeds go to some charity and in which the Red Cross gets a portion of the proceeds.
Plain Tales from the Hill
The May Fete folks, knowing that this kolum, like the want-ad section, is the only one in the paper that we read consistently and fatiguelessly want us to announce that the May Fete will be pageanted Saturday at nine-thirty o'clock on the morning on the greenward of McCook Field—if rain doesn't fall too much between now and then.
Note for the benefit of the electioners: A hat, real Stetam, was discerned at the top of the head of Mr. Heidt, and he is a dedicated student. He is still a freshman, yaknow.
Mister professor Hawkins, the mucl abused prof, who, they say, lets his gu-url carry one paddle when they are headed for the Kaw and its canoes is still the same man. They walked right down Mass. st. yesterday. And onlookers say his gu-url carried one paddle. Maybe she likes to do it.
It seems to be a habit—this idea of lights on corners turning in peculiar manners that fail to cast their light upon the neighboring porches. A few weeks ago the light at the Sigma Kappa corner turned its face from that house. Now the porch is dark. This week the light down by the Mu Phi Epiosion house on Louisiana street also turned. And that porch is dark.
It's awful.
When one steps waterward with the fixed determination to place one's foot in a boat and the boat isn't where one thinks it is, one usually gets wet. Such a thrill-that-comes once happened to Albert S. Klemp on the placid Kaw. It was at the boat landing. Klemp was intending to be the last man into the boat. Everyone was seated when the boat began to drift towards the center of the stream. Klemp still held onto his determination to be the last in the boat and stepped out and down. The water bubbled over his head. He came up wet. And got out that way.
Art Ellison has a dog. Like Mary's lamb he follows him, (that is the dog follows Art.) But there are several dogs on the Hill of the same make-up as Art's dog. Maybe the dog doesn't know the whistle of its master. Anyway Ellison placed paint upon the exterior of the dog with the aid of a brush. And now he knows his own dog. Clever.
N. E. Berry, '110, is in the city for a short visit at the Phi Kappa Psi house.
This man was not a slacker. No. But he did use care. "In what branch of the service do you wish to enter?" asked the examining officer. "In the navy?" responded the recruit. "And why?'" queries the officer. "Battleships cost the government something like ten million dollars apiece," says the recruit. "Do you think that Uncle Sam is going to act carelessly with those ten million dollar birds? Nix. So it's me for the navy."
ASK TO RAISE KANSAS
QUOTA BY VOLUNTEERS
Professor Blackmar and Committee Present Substitute Plan for Draft
DEFENSE COUNCIL BUSY
Unify Local Patriotic Leagues and Plan to Put "Floaters" to Work
The public defense committee of the State Council of Defense of which Prof. F, W. Blackmar of the department of sociology is head, yesterday formulated plans to secure volunteers for the National Guard. They have planned to raise through volunteers the quota of men that will be allotted to Kansas in the first call. In this way Kansas may avoid conscription if permission can be obtained from the war department.
On a call for 500,000 men, the Kansas quota will be between 8,000 and 11,000 men. The plan of the state defense committee is to secure volunteers to that number to fill up the units of National Guards. The state defense committee has appointed every member of the last legislature on a recruiting committee, headed by A. M. Keene, of Fort Scott.
LEGISLATORS DIRECT ENLISTMENTS
The one hundred sixty-five members of the legislature have been asked to take charge of the enlisting of volunteers in their district. If the required number of men are secured to fill the guard units, Kansas will not have to use the draft to secure troops. The plans will not interfere with the registration of those of military service under the rules. Under the terms of the act the war department may not allow the plans to be carried out, but preparation is being made to secure the required number if permission can be obtained.
UNIFY PATRIOTIC LEAGUES
In the meeting of the state defense committee yesterday, two other committees were organized, one to organize local defense leagues and the other was the vagancy committee. At the head of the defense leagues committee is James Kimball of Salina. The purpose of the committee is to organize the many patriotic leagues that are springing up all over the state into a state organization to work toward certain definite ends.
J. K. Codding of Lansing is the chairman of the vagrancy committee. It has been found that at least fifty per cent of the persons in Kansas jails are transients of the hobo type. Many of these have drifted in from other states to Kansas in harvest time. The plans of the committee are to force those who do not enlist to engage in some kind of work.
It will be necessary to have a complete organization with the proper authorities of the counties and cities of the state so that loafers and beggars may be sent to places where work will be provided for them.
The other committee under the general committee of state defense committee of the state council of defense are: the chemical products committee, L. S. Bushness of Kansas City, chairman, red cross emeritus, and the hospital committee, Charles S. Huffman, of Columbus, chairman.
"All of the committees under the state defense committee are being thoroughly organized and will be able to render valuable service to the state," said Professor Blackmar this morning.

THE POLITICAL SCRAMBLE
When the fight begins with himself a man's worth something—Browning.
Decidedly small does the political scramble look since the passage of the draft bill by Congress. The struggle for offices which is to be decided Thursday on the Hill can only be a bare incident among the many momentous things happening nowadays.
Fortunately, the platforms an nounced by both sides are for the best interests of the University. The plans to enforce the cap tradition, to do away with graft in student activities, to promote a closer fellowship between faculty and students, and to fight systematically and thoroughly for the mill tax offer the most substantial "promises" made by candidates in many a year.
Yet the political fight has its purpose, even though the candidates elected may never hold their offices. The two traditional factions in K. U. politics—machine and machine—will meet in a battle which is to decide who is master.
If they did not, the contest would be petty indeed!
If there were any "slackers" among the men who withdrew from college to join the land forces, they are probably wishing for a movement to go "back to the University."
NO SLACKERS ON MT. OREAD
The voice of American that spawned The Congress of these United States has voted that an immense army be raised by draft to help carry on the warfare in Europe. The visiting commission from the Allies, confident the war will continue three years at least, already see American troops in the last stages of the conflict. American soldiers, in the glory of their young manhood and the freshness of their youthful vigor are to make the final drive to rid the world of autocracy.
America, the greatest of democracies, is to secure democracy for the German people. Sue is to do it by that most through method—war.
Under the circumstances, the duty of every University of Kansas man is plain. The national guard units and the regular army, as well as the navy and the marines, want recruits badly. Food must be grown to feed the vast armies of the world. Munitions and supplies must be manufactured. Therefore, there are three courses open: enlistment for actual fighting; enlistment for crop cultivation; enlistment for munitions making. Each function is necessary. The Kansas man has but to choose which he will do.
There is a great deal of talk just at present about the possibility of securing officers' commissions. Some may
be able to get them. Many will not There will be a big scramble; a great many disappointments; and then enlistment as the success of our efforts dictates.
Kansas men will not shirk their duty. There are no slackers on Mount Oread. America has called, and the same hearts that thrilled to the "Crimson and the Blue" will answer just as whole-heartedly to the "Star Spangled Banner."
The student who really deserves "full credits" is he who can actually concentrate and really study during these days of military drill and political activity.
THE WRONG SPIRIT They were at the lilac hedge.
"Oh, aren't they beautiful," ex claimed one, her arms filled with the fragrant blossoms. "I'm going to gather all I can, for they won't last but a little while. So many persons come here and get them."
And she was true to her word. It is a mathematical problem if everyone in the University, and others living near the Hill, thought they were entitled to as many as they could carry, how long would the lilacs last? Observation shows they do not last very long.
The common term to express it is "hoggriness."
A man who is entirely wrapped up in himself generally carries a mighty small package.
Manager W. O. Hamilton, Coach Beau Olcott, and Dr. James Naismith are the three most invited men in the University just at present. They are to be officials at women's interclass swimming meet on May 3.

STUDENTS AND PUBLIC OPINION
Public opinion, either good or bad, is a thing very easily influenced. The whole student body of a school may be maligned by the bad actions of a single student. When a person forms an opinion of a college, it is generally not because he has been there and has seen that students are students, who in a way, represents to him the college and its student body. Generally, the quiet, hard-working student is not observed as the representative of the school from which he comes. It is the flashing, loud, self-important student who is observed and the school is often judged by this standard alone. In this way a college may get a bad reputation and really not need it. What matters is what mans the reputation of a school. Public opinion is not always just. It often takes a specific case for the conduct of the whole college, and consequently the whole student body suffers. Simply because a student of a college talks entirely about society, athletics, and the varied activities of college life, is no reason to think that these things are all he thinks of. The hum-drum of study and recitals and the conversation and so it is not mentioned. This course, however, makes people think that all the time of the individual is spent wholly in the pursuit of pleasure and not in acquiring knowledge. And then, too, the majority of the people are not college-bred and can hardly understand the conditions imposed by the ordinary college. This condition can be changed how easily the public to a better understanding of college life, its conditions and problems. When this change does come about, the people at large will begin to get more benefit from the colleges and the colleges will get more sympathy and help from the people. For

THE SITUATION AT INDIANA There is nothing more inspiring to the patriot than the national colors floating in the breezes. There is no more beautiful sight than their bright colors. And they are inspiring because their display represents a sincere feeling. But when they are displayed as a fad it is disrespectful to the flag and disgusting to people who really love it.
M. L
The custom is even vicious. If this practice keeps on the flag will become common; the next step is to joke about it. The national colors should always be displayed with a touch of dignity, and only when there is a touch of dignity. The exhibit of the American flag should always express a sentiment of respect, reverence, and loyalty, and never a fad or passing fancy of the moment.-Indiana Daily Student.
During the past few weeks when the wave of patriotism spread over the country, official buildings, business houses and private residences displayed flags, and by that means they were soon afterwards, manufacturers saw an opportunity for profit and all kinds of patriotic novelties flooded the community to be worn on the person; flags were embroidered on ties and collars; and now flag stickers are made from recycled materials. They beenmilled, ink-blotted, and thumb-marked. Everywhere, in all sorts of disrespectful positions and places, appears our flag. This is a kind of misdirected patriotism that should be immediately checked and definitely stopped. Because we are a nation of manufacturers, manufacturers should be allowed to take advantage of it to make money.
Please halt a bit, Old Father Time,
and hear the burden of our rhyme.
From Normal students comes the cry:
"We haven't even time to die." Just stop a second, Father, do; and give us time to tie our shoe. No time to write it in your book.
Remember from our done. You've gone and left us in the lurch. We haven't time to go to church. Our Sunday best's last letter lies, unanswered here before my eyes. You've set for us too fast a pace. Come! Give us time to wash our face. If there's a night our club don't meet, in old Northwestern there's a treat. We're about to shout until we need elixir. I really think it is a shame. We study till our ears are lame, and yet you hurry on your way, to hustle up another day. But, come, you shall not bear it all; on others, too, the blame must fall. Who sits serenely on a stool, and daily proves us out a botany and chemistry? Who gives us languages to chew? Who growls when themes are overdue? Who keeps us jumping night and day, until we're asking, "Does it pay?" The answer to the first you know, but does it pay? Yes. I think so. A little hard just now it seems, to have abbreviated dreams, will store them in power. When we teach we shall be revenge, so long delayed, shall be life perfume or us sprayed, as clad in gowns of dignity we make a learned faculty.. Original from Kansas State Bulletin.
AT OTHER SCHOOLS
UNIVERSITIES AND WAR
What is the effect of the declaration of war on the colleges and universities of the United States? The answer is best found perhaps in the exertion of force by the North, east, south and west, the effect seems to be the same—a universal pledge of loyalty and a desire to render real service to the nation through intensive training of the sons and daughters for the military, agrarian, business and sciences. The University Daily Kansan, of the University of Kansas, says:
"Whether on the firing line, in the hospital corps, in business or in the corn field, the University will receive the value of the service to the government."
DOES IT PAY?
The Chronicle, of the University of Utah, says: "The University will stand in the very foreground of all preparedness movements."
Worthy of note is the calm, cool judgement that is being evidenced, and the calculating deliberation which is followed by the first burst of hysteria. For it is not to be doubted that unprepared as this country was for the end of the bombing of Germany the breaking off of relations with Germany caused a flurry of hysteria. The marvel of it is that it was as short lived as it was; replaced as it were by a preparadness program in co-operation with the war department that makes the United States one among the world's best battles front. A nation with such stability has little to fear—Oregon Emerald.
WHAT HUBBY SAID
Columbia. University stands in the same line. So does the University of Indiana, Washington, California, Chicago and Drake. Syracuse is a little behind, but the patriotic Daily Orange is wielding a force that should line up with the troops at Harvard and Yale are armed camps. In fact, as a unit may it be said, the institutions of higher education are supporting the nation in its crisis.

M'COOK WAS TOO WET
Holiday
May Fete Is Set for Next Satur day—Students Enjoy Holiday
The day seems to have been fixed out for May Day and Chancellor's Day. And the weather was just right for the Fete. But McCook Field was too wet. The holiday, however, came right.
"We are still selling tickets for the May Fete," said Miss Gittens, secretary of the Y. W. C. A. this morning.
"We will give it Saturday at ninethirty if the field is dry enough. But the effect would be spoiled should the dances be given in the Gymnasium.
We are sorry that the fete couldn't be given yesterday. Of course, those tickets sold last week will be good."
There wasn't much hiking done yesterday because of wet ground but the canoes on the river were busy. Most of the hiking done was downtown and back. The movies got their share of fun, business. And some students studied.

Light Workout Called on Gol Links to Practice for Normal Game
McIlhennan, an almost sure K man on the squad if he remains, will be forced to leave when the National Guards are called out. Frank McFarland, a likely candidate for the two weeks, argo to enlist.
Rainy weather with a light snow caused Mgr. W. O. Hamilton to conel yesterday's game with St. Marys. Coach McCarty called the squad out for a light practice on the old golf links southeast of McCook.
The next game on Jayhawker schedule is with the Kansas Normals at Emporia next Saturday. Kansas beat the Teachers here April 5 by a 3 to 1 score and Captain Smee is looking or a close game.
Company M Gets Two Enlistments in Company M continue to come slowly. Apparently the Selective Conscriptionill is not used as a war was hoped for by National Guard officers. Company M this morning announced two new enlistments, Milford Hale and Ivan B. Snyder.
The serious outlook for aggressive hostilities by the United States in the war is causing Captain Smee to worry considerably as to whether or not the present Jayahawk军 w will remain together very much longer. Several of the players are becoming more interested in the different branches of service every day, and it is very probable that a few of the players will
sign up for military duty within the next week or so. It is probable that the Jayhawker nine will not play with the two or three more schedlened games.

SPORT BEAMS
The football squad has not practiced since last Wednesday afternoon because of the rainy weather, but practice will start again this afternoon, according to Speed Heath, who is in charge of the linenen. Speed said there would be about three more weeks of active practice. He wants all of the candidates for the Varsity squad to report at the track house at Hamilton Field at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
The regular spring basketball practice will be held tonight at seven o'clock in Robinson Gymnasium, according to Coach Uhrlaub. New plays are being worked out by the candidates and the coach said the squad would be in excellent condition to start the season next fall, if the war does not cause the University to close.
Potty Clark called the freshman squad out yesterday and held practice on the campus south of the tennis courts. The workout was in the form of a pep practice and only a few freshmen were out. They will work out against Coach McCarty's proteges this afternoon.

Bad Weather and Condition of Trach Make It Impossible to Hold Interclass Meet Today
The interclass track meet probably will be postponed again today. Coach W. O. Hamilton said it was doubtful if the weather and condition of the track would permit holding the meet. He added that he would not allow a track meeting to occur if the meet was held today because of the cold weather.
Coach Hamilton had planned to use the interclass meet as a try-out for the Aggie meet. The order of the Coach will prevent several seniors from missing the events; this will mean the loss of several points for the seniors.
The interclass meet scheduled for last Saturday was postponed till last Monday and then re-postponed until today. Manager Hamilton said this week the meeting will be held Monday if the weather prevents the meet being held this afternoon.
The freshmen will be weakened in the weight events by the absence of Dingy Marshall, an old Kansas City star, who is now guarding one of the Kansas City bridges on duty as member of the Missouri National Guard. If Varsity men are allowed to enter only one event, the meet will be a toss-up among the new men with the freshmen having big odds.
KANSAS MEETS AGGIES ON TRACK HERE FRIDAY
Bad Weather Has Kept Jayhawkers from Training but Coaches Expect Victory
The Kansas Aggies track team will meet the Jayhawkers Friday afternoon on McCook Field. The meet should be a comparatively easy one for K. U., but it will probably be closer than the indoor meet which Kansas won last March by a score of 71 to 14.
K. S. A. C. met Baker recently, winning 78 to 26. The Baker team was hopelessly outclassed, and the Farmers showed better form than they have at any other time this season. Probably the biggest change was the failure of Keys, star Aggie half-miler, to run. Chaffee, the other Aggie runner, won this event in the slow time of 2:08 4-5.
The Aggies showed up especially well in the dashes and the hurdle events, the weak points on the Kansas team. The best distance event which the Aggies won was the two-mile run. Tillotson ran this in 10:26. The Aggies will make the K. U. weight men exert themselves in the field events. Enlow tossed the discs 115 feet 2 inches recently and it is doubtful if any Jayhawker can beat that mark Friday.
Kansas should have an easy time in all of the distance events from the 220-yard dash up. The relay also should be a walkaway for the K. U. men. Casey and Seward will be the only K. U. men in the hurdles, while Davidson, O'Leary, and Crowley will handle the dashes. Pattinson and Atwood will have plenty of competition in the pole vault.

SENATE DID NOT VOTE ON ATHLETIC QUESTION
Action Was Deferred Until After Conference Meeting May 25
MURRAY REPRESENTS K. U.
Representative Is Undecided As to What Stand He Will Take at Valley Meeting
The question as to whether Kannas will abolish her intercollegiate athletics next fall was brought up in the meeting of the Senate yesterday afternoon, but action was deferred until after the meeting of the Missouri athletic representatives from the seven valley schools May 25.
Each Missouri Valley Conference school is allowed one representative at the meeting and the representatives will discuss the advisability of conference attendance next fall. Prof. E, W. Murray will represent Kansas at the conference.
GAVE NO INSTRUCTIONS.
The Senate did not give professor Murray a chance to how he should vote at the conference and it will be left to him to decide the action which Kansas will take. He said last night he did not know just what his stand would be and that he would have to wait until after he had heard representatives before he made his final decision.
NOT A QUORUM PRESENT
It was evident that the action which West Point will take in regards to athletics and the developments of the war will determine to a great extent whether or not Kansas will retain intercollegiate athletics next fall.
The nearest the Senate came to expressing its view was when twenty-one members, in favor of retaining athletics, voted to adjourn before a vote of the Senate was taken as to its view, but the motion to adjourn was lost by two votes. It was then pointed out that a quorum was not present so that a vote was useless and the meeting adjourned.
Even if the Missouri Valley Conference schools should abolish the inter-collegiate athletics that would not mean that athletics would be discontinued altogether at the University of Missouri. Of course, the other hand it is very probable that intercollegiate athletics will continue as before.
BACK TO FARM AND FIRESIDE
Tenting on the Old Camp Ground Doesn't Appeal to Some of the Boys from the Country
Students are continuing to with draw from the University for enlistment in the army or for other service to the country despite the recent discouragement of such action. In a few more days the list is expected to increase rapidly in view of the action of Congress in regard to conscription. It is only recently that the seriousness of the war situation has begun to be realized especially by the care-free students and it is not likely that many will wait for conscription now that it has become a reality.
Fourteen have withdrawn from the School of Pharmacy.
One hundred have withdrawn from the College for actual enlistment and 114 for agricultural or other service. Several others have withdrawn today and it is likely that the number will be up to 250 by tomorrow. The School of Arts expects many more withdrawals but expects about more within a few days.
Up till noon yesterday, eighty had withdrawn from the Engineering school. Of this number fourteen have gone to farm.
A great many courses have been abandoned in this school by the students in order that they may take some of the military training courses.
John M. Shea, absolutely noctal as regards University politics did indulge for a few minutes this morning. This time he was adverse towards both parties distributing "Vote-for-change" leaflets in the dormitory and stopped not the fact that five or ten men stood on the edge of the campus where the Post boy ought to stand and peddled bills. But the bills clutter the campus beautiful and that is the reason John M. Shea was agitated when he learned about filing and the bills kept on cursions.

ENGEL EXPLAINS METHOD TO LANGUAGE TRACTORS
ENGEL EXPLAINS METHOD TO LANGUAGE TEACHERS
The laboratory method of teaching modern languages, as developed and used by E. G. Engle, professor of German, was one of the interesting features of the meeting of the Association of Modern Language Teachers, held in Indianapolis, Ind., last week. Engle gave a lecture on French to teachers present, and it was discussed with great interest.
Professor Engle was the only representative from the University. He was elected one of the seven members of the executive council which has charge of the activities and policies of the Association.
KANSAS MEN ASSIST IN FORMING COMPANY
Forty Enlist in Recently Organized Unit of Kansas Engineers in Toneka
Kansas men are taking great interest in the formation of Company Kansas Engineers. The company trains engineers to Captain Hoop, of the United States Army, stationed at Leavenworth. He was well pleased with the personnel of the company and recommended that proceed to perfect their organization.
A battalion of engineers consists of one pioneer company, one reconnaissance company, and one pontoon company. Company "A" will become a pioneer company. A regiment of engineers consists of three battalions, the premier ones are the three regiments of engineers in the United States army.
The work of Company "A" will consist of mapping a country before a march, building and repairing bridges, selecting suitable camping sites, repairing and putting into operation the telephone, electric, and water plants of cities which have been occupied by railroad workers. The railroads, keeping all lines of communication open, and other duties as mussing up a road on a retreat.
About forty University men already have enlisted. The commissioned officers, all k. U. men with the exception of the captain, are: H. W. Crawford, senior first lieutenant; Luther Senior first lieutenant; Darl (Tony) James, second lieutenant; Roy E. Finney, first sergeant; John McIntyre, sergeant.
The company has been organized to a peace strength of 109 men. There are several men on the waiting list, but all recruiting has been stopped until the call for active service comes. Then the company will be recruited to a war strength of 168 men. Requiring a strong physical strength equipment. Part of the equipment necessary for this company is three photographer outfits.
The company was organized largely through the work of Capt. G. L. McLane and Lieut. Hugh W. Crawford. These men, with the assistance of their friends, organized the company in six days.
Preliminaries Have Cut Size of Squad Competing and Event Promises Much Excitement
WOMEN WILL SWIM TONIGHT
Annette Kellerman of course, is an expert in the art of swimming but then too, she was aided by all sorts of wonderful scenic displays. The Women's Gymnasium at 7:30 tonight isn't trying to rival "A Daughter of the Gods" but nevertheless it promises to be an exciting and interesting affair to University women. The Women's Gymnasium, twenty-five cents will admit the spectators.
At the preliminaries Monday, Helen Brown won for the freshmen in the 50-ft. side stroke, Eleanor Atkinson for the sophomores and Katherine Reding for the juniors. On the 50-ft. breast stroke, Dorothy Dawson freshman and Marina Deibel, junior girls represent the freshmen and Maria Deibel the juniors on the 50-ft. back stroke.
Helen Brown won for the freshmen and Margaret Hodder for the juniors on the 100-ft side. Maria Deibel won for the 100-ft breast stroke while Helen Brown and Ruth Endicott, juniors, and Marie Buchanan represent juniors on the plunge for distance. All other entries must be in before 4:30.
Fords—the common type of car running on the Hill—have been called small and puny. But when bugs are chased by them and run down we may call a halt. All we started to say was that Prof. P. W. Classen of the entomology department at the university, the government to gather and make a study of the bugs that destroy our crops. He is to work this summer. He will use a Ford in touring the country. That's all.
TRAINING CAMP CALLS FOR FULL DAY'S WORK
Colonel Burkhardt Accepts 8 Lawrence Men, Many Are University Students
Men who are expecting the Officers' Reserve Training camp to be all fun and no work are doomed for disappointment, says students who have seen military service. Reveille will sound at 5:30 o'clock; setting-up exercises will be given until breakfast at 6:45 or dull evening formations will begin at 7:00. The training will be given to study and rest in the afternoon. Whether or not they will have Sunday for recreation will depend on progress made.
Applicants need not worry because of the lack of facilities to handle them. The rookies will be put on double rations well prepared. No man need supply himself with a soldier's outfit before he goes to camp. Colonel Stuart will supply the camp, stated that all supplies were on the way or in cann.
Col. Samuel Burkhardt has accepted 82 men from Lawrence. This exceeds the quota allowed to Lawrence, but such can be expected of a university town. The War Department made a tentative statement to the effect that one man be allowed to go to camp for every 1,000 population.
The following additional men have been accepted by Colonel Burkardh: P. F. Walker, H. H. Harman, Howard White, Rodney M. Armstrong, Bruce H. Baker, Watkins A. Bryles, James B. Wood, B. A. Mitchell, Joe E. Gaitskill, John A. Hettinger, Chauney D. Hunter, Milton W. Nigge, Harry B. Wood, Paul U. Wren, Paul H. Friend, Edwin V. Burkholder, James F. Lawrence, Maurice T. Benedict, Arnold A. Bell, Ivan A. Allen, Hugt T. McGimble, John H. Wenzel, Glencairn, Bryon F. McGinness, and Albert W. Robinson.
The War Department has assigned the Topeka end of the training camp to the Lawrence office and this necessitates running a day and night shift. No definite time has been set by the War Department for the closing of these offices, but it is expected any personnel not in attendance ready filed from the four states in this district exceeds the quota allowed for the camp.
UNIVERSITY AWAITS GERARD
Tickets for Admission to Patriotic Convocation Sunday May be Obtained at Registrar's Office
Admission for the big patriotic convocation for Ambassador Gerard Sunday afternoon in Robinson gymnasium will be by ticket. Mr. Gerard comes here at the invitation of the University, and as there is no auditorium large enough to accommodate all that wish to hear him, the University audition for that students should have the first opportunity to secure seats.
Tickets may be secured at the Registrar's office in Fraser Hall. Students are allowed only one ticket each, but married members of the faculty may have two. Until fifteen minutes before the meeting begins no one will be admitted without a ticket, after a registration form is filled out by the public. The time for the convocation will not be definitely set until tomorrow.
Robinson gymnasium will be decorated with a mass of flags and bunting. The committee for decorations are especially eager to secure flags of the state and those having such flags are requested to leave them at Chancellor Strong's office.
"Our intention is to make this occasion a great patriotic meeting," said Vice-chancellor Burdick this morning. "No one who follows the history-making events of the day can afford to miss hearing Mr. Gerard."
Dean Butler has charge of the musical program which will not be announced until tomorrow. Phas for a military reception for Ambassador Gerard will be discussed at a committee meeting this afternoon.
THEY STILL LIKE GERMAN
The German language probably will be just as popular next year as it has been in the past. At least, that is the conclusion reached by E. F. Engle, a former professor of reading reports from teachers of German in the high schools of the state.
Popularity of German in High Schools is not on Wane Says
Professor Engle wrote to all graduates of the University now teaching German in high schools, asking them of the sentiment of students toward the enemy's language. All answers he has received report that there has been no change in the attitude of the students, and that the freshmen of next year will take their share of the German language courses.

STATE "PEN" MAKES BRICKS
FOR NEW "AD" BUILDING
Bricks, to the number of seventy thousand, have arrived this week from the state penitentiary for use in the new Administration Building on which actual construction work will begin about July first.
Money for the building will be available by this time, and the con-
ferencing will be completed. Only the west wing will be built now; it should be finished in a year.
"We are getting seventy thousand bricks a week," said John M. Shea the morning, "and the material will be ready when we get the money in July."
Opportunity and Women
Plain Tales from the Hill
Opportunity knocks once, you know. The once is coming. The Women's Athletic Association, always abbreviated W. A. A. is the opportunity. Saturday night, May 12, is the once. Refreshments and a fourpiece orchestra will help. Yes, yes, brothers, the ladies of the University have the privilege of selecting their own man to take him to a dance in the Gym. Facts laid right down say: Every woman on the Hill is invited to attend and bring her man. She will be supposed to pay the bills. But the waa society has a strict law saying: There shall be no flowers.
The Wattles boys—Willard and Warren, one an instructor, the other a junior have had lots of publicity here of late. First, Warren had his pockets picked by naughty Kansas City boys; then he carries a basket-full of rocks out in the country with the firm belief that the rocks are sandwiches et al. Then comes Willard with his weekly poem in the K. Museum, and then Kay You in the Kansan. "Today we record that big brother received a May basket Tuesday evening. It had a tender message inside, thus: "We hardly dared to do it but we did." Looked like girlish writing.
Him had a date with her. 'His watch showed just eleven o'clock m. Just as it showed the hour the dinner gong rang out, pealing forth its usual warning heard only on date nights. But this wasn't the first time him had been with her at that hour. So in all seriousness him asked her, "Do you always have lunch at this time of night?"
E. D. Osborn, of the Law Faculty, lives at the University Club, the little house at the bottom of the Hill where men assert their rights. Down there they call him "Jedge." Be it known that Jedge lodges the sight of one dollar bills, even though he be on a plane. I quote the phrase "quote the Jedge: 'Dollar bills are in the way. I always get 'em mixed up with fives.'"
Billy Pumry is a girl. She is also a Sigma Kappa. Furthermore she is often moved to speak. And when she do she do. This time her speaking comes from the depths of that little heart of hers. "This war is sure awful! It has taken my ten best men already." Next.
Freshmen do have hard times telling what they want. Take fr' instance one of them: He tipped loudly into Spooner Library and whispered a request for "One of the books." Then they did that about that request about Kipling and his short stories, Lastly the fresh admitted that he wanted Kipling's "Light That Failed." No wonder the clock stops.
SOLDIERS STUDY BY MAIL
Many Enlistments Will Increase Enrollment in Extension Division Says Ipham
"An increase in the enrollment of the correspondence study department is expected because of the many students leaving school who will want to go on with a part of their University work," Harold C. Ingham, secretary of the department, said this morning.
The demand for correspondence instruction greatly exceeds the facilities now available for supplying it. Students who withdraw will receive the first consideration, and it is hoped all can be taken care of.
"The department has made no plans for increasing its work," said Mr. Ingham, "because most of it is done by residence faculty and conditions now seem to mean a decrease in their numbers. New courses may be offered to students who cannot be in the University next year demand them."
HOTTEST ELECTION IN YEARS IS ON TODAY
Correspondence courses are now offered from the College, the School of Education, and the School of Engineering. Certain subjects offered in the four-year course in pharmacy may be taken for credit. No work is given in the School of Law. Other professional courses cannot be given because either library or laboratory facilities are lacking.
Reminds Upperclassmen of Junior Election a Year Ago This Fall
AIR IS FILLED WITH MUD
"Niggers In The Woodpile" Is a Favorite Topic for Campaign Literature
The hottest contest in years. That's the verdict of those who watched the excitement that prevailed at the polls on Tuesday. Election held in the campus today.
From early morning when supporters of both tickets were plastering the walks with posters, which were only to be washed away by the rain hat fell before they were dry, until the time that handbills were being distributed at every entrance to the campus students began to admit that he spring election was an equal for all. But then the hat of year ago last fall when the junior race had every student on the fill guessing.
MANY VOTED EARLY
The early vote was especially heavy in the College where before ten o'clock this morning over 100 votes had been cast. The engineers, too, were much work up over the race. Following their victory, they had not voted were hurried to the polls while electioneers showed literature on them.
In the School of Law the race didn't reach such a high pitch. Both of the candidates for the presidency of the Council, Haverkort and Glasso, are law students, and knowing both of the men the disciples of Uncle Jimmy were only to be talked into voting for the candidates for the minor jobs.
MUD AND MUD
This year's election was comparatively well marked with mud-throwing. Perhaps the "hottest" poster of the campaign came out this morning as an attempt to counter-attack on a pamphlet that appeared yesterday. Both were comparatively harmless, uncovering alleged "facts" concerning both parties. The council election last year and the class elections this fall were both much quicker than this year and but few candidates appeared for the offices.
GEN. JOFFRE NOT COMING
French War Commission Unable To Visit Lawrence—Gerard Accepts Invitation
The University received a telegram this morning from Washington from Robert Lansing, Secretary of State, saying that the French War Commission, now in this country, will be unable to visit Lawrence as its time is completely taken up with matters in Washington.
An invitation was sent to the Commission to come to Lawrence by a committee of Lawrence citizens and a University committee. This has nothing to do with the Gerard party coming. Mr. Gerard has accepted the invitation extended him to visit Lawrence and will speak here.
Celebrates 39th Year as Czar Over K. U. Library
Carrie M. Watson, fondly remembered by thousands of K. U. students as "Aunt Carrie," has celebrated her thirty-ninth anniversary as the University librarian. There are probably very few librarians who have had the chance to watch the development of a university as Miss Watson has. In 1878 she was assistant when the library was first installed at Fraser in the room now occupied by Mrs. Brown, adviser of women.
At that time the library contained 2,000 volumes, to which only juniors and seniors had access. During the next seven years the library increased to 9,000 volumes and had to be moved to the rooms which are now the register's office. At the time Miss Mushek son said that the library was built in 1894 Spooner library was built and the library which consisted of 15,000 books was moved into the new building.
"I remember," said Miss Watson this morning, "when the nucleus of the present library consisted of a few dusty books which were stowed away in the small dark room in North College which was rarely entered. One member of the alumni remembers looking in one of the books for a refill, and another in the library embodies the growth of the University. Yes, there is a great comparison between North College and a few hundred books of forty years ago and the present University and its large library of 115,000 books."

THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1917
GOING TONIGHT?
The man that makes a character makes foes.—Young
It's at 8:15 o'clock tonight in Fraser Hall Chapel.
The last big concert by the K. U. band this year. And of course you're going. The director will interpret one of his own compositions on the cornet. Another big feature of the concert is a march song, the "University of Kansas," composed by the director. A professor will play on a bass horn and there will be a harp solo.
"PROFESSORS, BE MERCIFUL"
K. U. is proud—and justly so—of the University band and that is the reason why a "full house" will greet "Mac's boys" tonight.
Life in the University is more normal again since the excitement caused by the declaration of war has subsided somewhat. Students are seen going to the library and are heard discussing assignments and note books and term reports as they did before the president delivered his message.
But the effects of the thrill of war and of waving flags are still with us. Phi Beta Kappas, grids and sliders all fell victims to the spirit of "what's the use" and became "slackers." Now that the routine of college life has resumed its old importance students are finding that their work is not satisfactory.
In the midst of the return to the old order it might not be out of place to ask the faculty to "have a heart." During this exciting time, many of the professors forgot to announce that a 2,000 word thesis would be required or that a report of library reading of 5,000 pages must be handed in by the middle of May.
Most students are working hard now to "catch up" with their work. It is hoped that the professors will remember these weeks of excitement that have passed and give the students a fair chance to "make" good.
Add to the growing list of uncertainties: Women, War, Weather, Fountain Pens, Student Council Elections.
STEALING TIME
Everywhere one hears save and conserve on food and on dress, but why not save and conserve on time? If people would get to places promptly so that meetings could begin on time, perhaps University students would not be compelled continually to rush from one place to another and always feel that they haven't a moment of their own.
At a meeting of the Red Cross in First Aid the other night, for every minute that the meeting was delayed by "late comers" each of the 250 women enrolled, lost a minute. The meeting was twenty minutes late. Just
5,000 minutes or nearly 83 hours were wasted. Think of the quizzes that might have been boned for, or the term papers that might have been written in that wasted time.
Of course, for one person it was only twenty minutes, lost—twenty minutes that were taken away by thoughtless persons. Only twenty minutes but they will never come back again.
Is it fair that you should take twenty minutes of one individual's time to say nothing of a hundred or more of others who are waiting on you and the other "tardies"? One wouldn't think of stealing twenty cents from each person who has got to the meeting at the time scheduled; then why should one steal twenty minutes of time from the punctual ones?
In preparing for the distinguished French envoys, be ready with your tricolor and your "Marseillaise."—K. C Star.
We must here at the University as elsewhere throughout the nation, become members of the "I Won't Waste" movement. We must resolve to live simply and with reasonable economy.
No form of organization is necessary. No particular pledge to anybody is required. All that the situation demands is that patriotic students, who want to serve their country, should realize how much they can do by cutting down on waste and extravagance of every kind.
If the university student can set the example of plain living and sane thinking in such a time as this, it will be to his own honor and to that of the institution he represents.
Are you willing to do your share?
W. J. Bryan, Jess Willard, etc., etc,
should make their offer to enlist to the
recruiting stations, and not to the
newspapers.
The other afternoon at the reading table in Spooner Library, eight students sat waiting for one other student to finish reading the Unpopular Review, too impatient even to study. Near by were the last two numbers of Life, untouched. What! you say? Of course, gentle reader, this story belongs to the "As It Might Be" column.

The solution lies in the hands on the students, especially the fraternity men, who direct most of the policies and activities of the school, and perhaps if they would devote more time to studying this unfortunate situation and less time in cheap-screw politics, than in academic work, the program. I say this, not in a criticizing spirit, but in consideration of the school I love and for which I have fought, — hoping that perhaps some one may think twice before he speaks, and if he can't say anything good of his school, will say nothing; or, that another, when contemplating getting by with something under cover of the name of K. U. that he couldn't do in college, should be willing to some willing brother to be kicked in a spot where it hurts most to be thus summarally dealt with.
The scent of rain sweet heather.
The cloud white, woven weather.
Mr. Willard Watties is correct when he says there is an underlying distrust of K. U. over the state, irrespective of his reasons. I did not realize it so much as a student there, but now that I am in the position of the onlooker I get a better view of the situation, and I mention the conversation above as an example of the prevailing sentiment. I know of several men in this small community who have refused to send their sons to K.C., or fear of the influence that it will have upon their moral character. It has been my opportunity to visit a large number of Kansas towns and communities and I have found the same expression of distrust and opposition.
That this is humiliating to those who are students of the University, and to its alumni or to any one connected with it, is putting it in mild form; and, in my opinion, much of the real cause lies in the student body. Some may say that the pranks, gimcracks, and flapdoodle of the various classes and fraternities at the University are their own business. I agree heartily, but at the same time the people of Kansas are making them their business, and, coupled with stories, both true and false, almost always started by a weeping tongue, of a little well-meant teaching in the class-room, are cutting down our State University's enrollment, dwarfing her prestige and influence, and cutting a hole in her pocketbook.
This morning, as I was standing in the drug store, the common loafing place of the country town in which I live, I overheard a conversation between two elderly gentlemen in which they were commenting upon the archeology of Hard Wattles on What is the Matter of What in the Topeka Daily Capital. Speaker Number One "lowed that it was a fact, too," climbing it with a forceful word or two by way of emphasis. That man's knowledge of Lawrence and the University is limited to the fact that the name of the town is painted in black on the background in front of the depot. Speaker Number Two agreed, adding that "K. U. turns out nothing but infidels, and no matter how good a boy is when he goes there, he never comes unblemished." That man has had a son at K. U. When he made such an offer to the couple, and shifting gears, drifted into the conversation on third speed. But that's another story.

CAMPUS OPINION
With over twelve hundred men, mainly seniors, already gone from the University and with more leaving daily, it becomes apparent that the reduced as nearly as possible to matters of formality. According to present indications, more than half of the senior class will have left before graduation day. The men remaining in the University will be but little less than a quarter of theendar usually planned for graduation time. And, with the country at war, social functions entailing large expense are hardly in order. For these reasons it seems wise to eliminate from the usual Senior Week calendar the similarly social mature and reduce graduation time to the simplest possible terms.
Of the usual items on the Senior Week calendar, the Senior Ball, Class Day, the Masque play, and the Musical Clubs' concert will be better disaffairs than those which such affaires be of little interest in times, but they would under the present circumstances be not only of inferior character but of possible serious financial loss. The baccalaureate sermon and the formal graduation are more likely to be graduation week which under the circumstances are advisable to retain.

With so many members of the University away on patriotic duties, many of them involving great personal danger, it is also apparent that Senior Week will hardly be a time for entertainment or merry-making of like nature. While these may not involve the same item of expense as the larger functions, they nevertheless partake of a spirit hardly fitting the graduation of a class a large per cent. Unfortunately if you are Unfortunate as the loss will be, unfortunate as is the entire war, in proper respect to the circumstances Senior Week should this year be reduced to its two most formal functions, the baccalaureate sermon and the commencement of a thing beyond this would be but a skeleton and a farce—Cornell Daily Sun.
UNIFORMS? No!
The girls in a Texas school have decided to wear a uniform dress. Their action has received the compulsory seal of the house of its economy and democracy.
We are strong for democracy, but personally, we would not wish to see the girls at this University adopt this method of showing their democracy. The bright colors on the campus these days are a joy to the eye. Garments of blue, red, yellow, green—we do not pretend to name the many half-tonés—mixed together as they are at baseball games or on the walks add a city to our own's comber spring. Yes, we would much prefer to have the girls economize or democratize in some other way than by substituting a sober hue and a uniform design for the rich colors in which we now relocate.
However, we suppose there is little need to worry. If the movement for uniforms starts here, we venture that its original impetus will not come from the campus, but from the man who pays the bills—Montana Kaimin.

MR. ZACH CONDUCTS ALL REHEARSALS IN ENGLISH
Has Made St. Louis Symphony Orchestra One of Best In
America
"The University of Kansas should support two orchestras and have the advantage of hearing four big symphony concerts each year," said Dean Butler of the School of Fine Arts at The For. For this reason I am bringing the *St. Louis Symphony* Orchestra to Lawrence Thursday, May 10."
The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra is fast becoming one of the best orchestras in the world.
[Image of a man with a mustache and goatee, wearing a suit and glasses, smiling.]
MAX ZACH
the only conductor in the world that conducts his rehearsals in English. "Mr. Zach," says Leonard Liebings of the musical Courier, "is one of the most scholarly conductors holding a microphone without sensationalism in any form, and his reading of the score is invariably true and full of poetic beauty." He afterward stated he had never seen a conductor who was more careful to bring out the composer's meaner than his own idea of that meaning.
Conductor Zach is the only Pole in the orchestra, though practically every European country is represented among the musicians. He was solo viola player in the Boston Symphony, assistant conductor, and official accompanist for the orchestra. He also acted as conductor during several summer tours. Mr. Zach took the St. Louis orchestra at the time of his retirement from the chorus, a part of the organization, to concentrate upon the upholding of the orchestra. He is in reality father of the organization.
The program Thursday evening will be a popular one, consisting of three famous orchestral numbers and two tunes. The program Tuesday will be the famous Fifth Symphony, by Tschakowski. The second orchestral number will be the Lalla Rookh Suite, by Kroeger, and the third, by Chopin, by Fann-houer Overture, by Wagner.
Reserved seats for the concert went on sale this morning at the Registrar's office and the Round Corner Drug Store. In order to permit every one to attend the concert and test out the impression made by this orchestra, Dean Butler has placed the price of the tickets from fifty cents to $1.
On this trip the orchestra will be made up of sixty players, ten more than played with the Miamiapolis Symphony. The soloists accompanying the orchestra are Leonora Allen, and Charles E. Galagher, basso.

Two Freshmen Speculate
First Neophile: "Which is the biggest game of chance,—1 in 1,000 or 1 in 83?"
Second Neophite: "If I know what
second Neophite got the statistics I
might tell you."
F. N.: "Well, it's like this: the women on the Hill are having a big party and dance in the Gym Saturnus, but I will be there and will ask a man as a guest. Those figures? Well, there are 1,000 women in K. U., and only one can take me, but—I know only 83 women and may try to persuade me. Now what chance have I?"
S. N.: "Well, since the W. A. A. has opened the dance to all of the University, I'd say you had a pretty good chance."
War Cartoons
Prof. William S. Hekking, of the department of drawing and painting, discussed "War Cartoons" at the Woman's Forum yesterday afternoon. He spoke of cartoons and posters being the result of necessity as in England where they were used to awaken the conscience of the nation to the
need of men for the army and navy. Mr. Hekking showed that cartoons reflect the character of the times and the nation, as well as more serious examples, in the island were of a humorous type and ridiculed the enemy because in England the war situation was not taken seriously. In France, where the war struck the hardest blow, the cartoons condemned Germany's cartoons revenge the contempt which the country felt toward other nations.

SCHOOL BELL RINGING FOR SUMMER SESSION
Dean Kelly Announces Practice Courses in Many Lines
Attendance at the summer session of the University this year probably will not fall off because of the war, according to Dean F. J. Kelly, director of the summer session. He expects at least as large an attendance as last year, when 765 were enrolled in the session.
of Work
Dean Kelly emphasized this morning that the summer school was not designed for high school teachers entirely but that practical courses are important to her every line of work. He called attention to one course in the department of chemistry on the chemistry of photography. This is a course especially for professional photographers. In the department of botany, he taught landscape gardening, with lectures by a foremost landscape gardener.
COURSES IN POLITICS
For men interested in history and political science, there are two tours dealing with Latin American relations as well as the diplomatic relations between the United States and its sister republics to the south. Students may also major in corps work, two courses in wireless telegraphy are offered.
For the business man, Dean Kelly calls attention to the courses in Markets and Marketing and Money and Credit, as well as practical courses in the Economies of Agriculture. This last course is designed for the man in business who wishes to be able to talk intelligently to farmers on conditions of the farm world.
In the department of sociology, there are courses for citizens of communities who wish to better live conditions. Work that might be helpful to men who wish military knowledge will be under the supervision of the War Bureau. Their courses will be announced later if they decide to continue their work through the summer session.
"Students have gotten into the habit of going to the summer school every year," said the Dean, "and they are thus able to complete their education in three years instead of four. Our students have had three months in which to re-

DONT DESPOIL THE LILACS!
Careless Spirit of Vandalism Ruining K. U.'s Beautiful 39-Year-Old Hedge
"It it seems such a pity to see our beautiful lilac hedge despoiled," said Mrs Esterly, secretary, to one of the most charming features of our campus and we need to create some sort of public opinion about it so people will think a long time before doing anything to mar its beauty."
The lilac hedge is thirty-nine years old and is just now coming to its full beauty. The new shrubbery which has been set out this spring will require a long period of care and cultivation. The lawn is not checked," said Mrs. Beech "our new shrubs will have difficulty in surviving."
Automobiles full of people have been seen to stop by the hedge and the people have filled not only their arms but their cars as well. Little children thoughtlessly tear off bouquets. Strong sentiment on the part
"I like to keep the kiddies picking liacs," said Prof. J. W. Evans of the department of journalism. "No 'Keep Off the Grass' signs should apply to them. They can't pick enough liacs to hurt the hedge; but students can hurt it, though I don't think they will do it if they stop and think."

The fourteenth annual Kansas interscholastic track meet will be held on McCook Field Saturday afternoon. Thirty-six teams are entered in the meet and more than 160 athletes will be here to compete in the meet. The meet is held every year for the high schools of Kansas.
The teams will run in three separate classes based upon the size of the enrollment of the high school. Class C this year has the largest number of teams entered. Easkridge岛 have three teams entered to the meet. In Class A, all six of the teams have practically the same number of men in the meet. Summer County, winner of last year's meet, has no team entered in the meet. Iola and Tapke, winners of former meets, have two teams entered in the meet Saturday.
Humboldt, winner in Class B last spring, has only four men in the meet. Pratt, Gardner, and Hiawatha have teams of nine men each entered. George Coffin, star half miler last year at Northeast, will compete for Oread Training School in Class C. Syracuse, the team that won the honors in Class C last year, has no team in the meet.

NO FARM WITHDRAWAL AFTER MAY 12---SENATE
To Check Undue Exodus Before Quiz Week Faculty Acts— Won't Affect Guards
No "Back to the Farm Movement" after May 12 was the decree issued last night by the University Senate, according to a statement by Prof. E.
The decision will come as a blow to those who have planned to hold out until the last week before the finals and then withdraw. Professor Engle said this morning this was the object the Senate had in mind when the ruling was passed, that an exodus at the last week might be prevented.
The ruling was made with the thought that any student intending to withdraw should know by that time what he wanted to do. If a student is needed on the farm, he is needed now as much as he will be needed any time this spring. Professor Engle added this in his book, this would not in isolation make him work, but would tend to cause any who had been planning on withdrawing later to hurry back to the farm at a time when he was most needed.
This decree does not in anyway apply to those who withdraw after May 12 to enlist in State or Federal service. They will be given their credits. No other withdrawals will be given full credit after that date.
FORMER PROFESSOR PLANS
TO VISIT UNIVERSITY
Clarence E. McClung plans to stop in Lawrence and visit the University on his way back from the West to the University of Pennsylvania, where he is chairman of the department of biology.
Professor McClung is essentially a Kansas man, and a man who has accomplished results in his chosen field. He was graduated from the School of Pharmacy in '92, received his A.B. from the College in '96, his A.M. in '98, and his Ph.D. in '02, all from the University of Kansas.
In 1897 Professor McClung was made assistant in zoology here, and in 1906 succeeded Professor Williston as head of the department. Mr. McClung is known in scientific circles as the one to first discover the sex determinant of germ cells, which later investigations proved to be correct.
Professor McClung was in Lawrence last Thursday, and left Sunday night for the West. Several of his old friends entertained for him Saturday with a luncheon at the University Club.

KANSAS VS. FARMERS ON TRACK TOMORROW
Track Will be Dry Enough for First Outdoor Meet, Says Hamilton
The Aggie-Kansas track meet will be held on McCook Field tomorrow afternoon staring at four o'clock. The meet should be comparatively easy for the K. U. men in spite of the bad weather conditions which have handicapped their work for the past two weeks. None of the men are in the best condition but if the Farmers do not show up any better than they did in the indoor meet, the meet should be a walkaway.
The Manhattan team did well in the meet with Baker several weeks ago but this year seem to be an off year at the Agricultural College. The Aggies will have Holoyd, Horoway, the hurried Granfield runs the quarter for the Aggies, while Chaffee, Eggerman, and Tillotson are their best men in the distance events. Enlow and Shafer will handle the weights. Wilder and Weimar are both good in the high jump but will hardly place against K
Davidson, Crowley, O'Leary and Hilton are the probable dash men for K. U. Welsh, Rodkey, Murphy, Sproull, O'Leary, Howland, and Stater, and Groene will run the longer distances. Trewekew, Rice, Miller, and Grutzmacher are slated for the jump events, while Woodward, Small, Ziegler, and Casey are the probable entries in the weight events.
Casey and Hilton will probably be the men in the hurdle events. Howard and Pattinson will handle the pole vault. O'Leary, Welsh, Rockey, and Sproull or Shreve will probably be the relay team used in the meet. The Agile team will participate. The door meet here this winter but it may have improved since that meet.

PROF. BOYNTON URGES AGAINST BOND ISSUE
If We Substitute Drastic Taxation We Can Escape Higher
A. J. Boynton, professor of economics, and other members of the faculty in this department at K. U. are urging Kansas congressmen to favor a police or taxation rather than bona fide means of financing the war.
Prices
Close students of economics strongly favor taxation, professor Boynton prevents profitability since taxation will prevent profitability, present high level of prices, he believes is due to war bonds and paper money issued abroad. If the United States joins on a huge scale in this effort, bonds are bound to become far higher still.
Because of the effect of keeping down the cost of war, through price controls and other means.
FAIR WEATHER
It's always fair weather at the Oread Cafe. Bad days when you don't want to walk home in the rain stop at Brick's for your lunch. We always have extra help at meal hours.
war efficiency for the United States,
Professor Boynton says. American teachers of political economy and public finance, have agreed that four tax measures should be included in Congress takes to secure war coin.
A suggestion:
You are busy now and probably have a number of term papers to get in.
Why not take your lunch at Brick's the rest of the year and save that much time?
Ask us about it.
These include: A tax which will tax substantially all of special warfare tax.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 4, 1917.
REAL PATRIOTISM CAN WIN THE WAR--GERARD
But Unity of Nation is Necessary to Defeat Germany, Ambassador Believes
WILL SPEAK HERE SUNDAY
University Marshall Makes Provision for Record Crowd— Admission by Ticket
Patriotism will be the keynote of the big University convocation in Robinson Gymnasium Sunday afternoon for James W. Gerard, former American ambassador to Germany. Mr. Gerard is perhaps better fitted than any other man in this country to Germany, and the intention of that man is to this country if it should be victorious along the present battle lines.
The seating capacity of 2,000 in Robinson Gymnasium cannot possibly accommodate the crowd Sunday afternoon, according to J. J. Wheeler, University marshal. There are 3,000 university people alone eager to attend the convoction. For this session will be by ticket. Students may secure one ticket at the Registrar's office. Married members of the faculty may have two tickets. Fifteen minutes before the hour set for the meeting, four o'clock, the doors will be thrown open to the public.
GERARD EXPECTS LONG STRUGGLE
Members of the reception committee for Ambassador Gerard are: Vice-chancellor W. L. Burdick, C. H. Tucker, R. C. Rankin, former governor W. R. Stubbs, Prof. J. N. Van der Vries, Dean Oil Templan, Dean F. W. Blackmar, F. R. Hamilton, and Prof. J. W. Jheeler.
WON ALLIES' GRATITUDE
Ambassador Gerard has shown in recent speeches that he looks forward to a grim and prolonged struggle between this country and Germany. He has been an ardent exponent of universal military service as the only means by which Americans can successfully and safely proceed in entering the most tremendous war of all history.
SPECIAL BAR EXAM FOR LAWS
While in Berlin Ambassador Gerard won the deepest gratitude from England, France, and Russia for the protection he gave their prisoners in the German prison camps. Mr. Gerard was ambassador to Germany in 1913 and he held that post until the recent break in diplomatic relations between the two countries. Since his return to this country Mr. Gerard has been given a number of addresses in the east, and he has first tour through the central states.
Due to Conscription Bill Twenty-five Seniors Take State Quizz May 10
Mav 10
In a recent speech Mr. Gerard said,
"This is not going to be a short or easy war. I don't believe Germany will be starved out. I don't believe there will be any revolution, and if any accident should happen the British fleet, we should have something very serious to face."
The Kansas Bar Association will give a special examination on May 10 to law students who have enlisted in any branch of army service, and who are likely to be called out before the end of the term.
By a special ruling of the state board, graduation of the students will not be required in view of the fact that an adoption bill will go into effect on May 8.
Twenty-five out of forty-eight men of the senior law class have enlisted, and will take the special bar exam to be given next Tuesday. "It shows," said Uno. Jimmy Green "that the senior class are not shackers."
GEN. JOFFRE NOT COMING
French War Commission Unable To Visit Lawrence—Gerard Accepts Invitation
The University received a telegram this morning from Washington from Robert Lansing, Secretary of State, saying that the French War Commission, now in this country, will be unable to visit Lawrence as its time is completely taken up with matters in Washington.
An invitation was sent to the Commission to come to Lawrence by a committee of Lawrence citizens and a University committee. This has nothing to do with the Gerard party coming. Mr. Gerard'has accepted the invitation extended him to visit Lawrence and will speak here.

NO FUNDS FROM HOP FOR LOCAL RED CROSS
Kenneth Bell, Appointed Manager at Eleventh Hour Submits. Statement
The Soph Hop management will have no funds to turn over to the Red Cross society, according to Manager Bell's statement this afternoon.
The failure of the Hop to make money is accredited by Mr. Bell, to the poor attendance which was caused by the large number of withdrawals and the postponement of the advertising campaign.
Because of the war situation the management hoped to call off this year's Hop. It was impossible, however to break the contracts and it would have to go ahead and give the party regardless of the break in the preparations.
Frank Gage was elected Hop manager at the regular election last fall, but was declared ineligible by the Eligibility Committee of the University Senate shortly before the date set for the Hop. Kenneth Bell was appointed by the Student Council to take over the arrangements for the party, Kansas, shortly for Minneapolis, Kansas, shortly for his mother on account of the illness of his mother, leaving only the account of the number of tickets sold.
The following itemized statement has been prepared and handed to the chief executive.

NEW BAND PLAYS LIKE OLD
Second String Men Take Place of Enlisters and Keep up Concert
Manager Bell refused to even state definitely that all of the above figures were correct. "I did not even attend the party, and Mr. Gage was floor manager. He has most of the bills for the party in his possession and I would not want to swear to the correctness of the figures he has given me."
Have some more to add about John M. Shea and his proclivities of yesterday in keeping the campos bootful. We left him keeping the electioneers from throwing paper bills on the campus. That all happened in the a, m, part of the day. At noon yellow bands began to appear in the hands of brothers and sisters on the ground. They were advertising a lecture by Prof. W. C. Stevens on "Art Out of Doors," Johnny Shea stopped 'em.
The work of the band has not lost in quality even though it has lost men in the general exodus from the University. Some splendid material which has necessarily been relegated to the second band all the year had a distinction in its ability to lead the bass solo "Happy Thought Fantasie" played by L. L. Steimley instructor in the department of mathematics, last night as a number on the band concert program was particularly well received. Miss Dorothy Bell played a harp solo, Schuman Albert's Serenade. Miss Bell is the head musician in the band Arts who has any advanced technique in harp playing. Her number added charm and variety to the concert program.

Wife of Former University Y. M Secretary Tells of Conditions in Germany
GERMANY IS FAR FROM BEATEN--MRS.HOFFMAN
"CON" STAYS IN BERLIN
Food is Cheaper In Germany Than Here—Supply Is Regulated
"It is wicked to tell the American people that the war with Germany is not going to last long," Mrs. Cow Hoffman, who has just returned to Washington, said half in Berlin, said this morning, "Germany has not reached the end of its resources by any means and the war is the biggest undertaking the United States has ever attempted. Germany is a place of absolute confidence."
When diplomatic relations between the United States and Germany were broken ten American Y. M. C. A. secretaries were ordered to leave Germany but Mr. Hoffman, who is senior secretary at Berlin, was permitted to stay. He was promised protection in Germany and safe conduct because he has been allowed to visit only one prison camp since the break but is permitted to train neutral secretaries for the work.
MR. HOFFMAN ONLY AMERICAN
When Mrs. Hoffman left there were two Swiss, a Dane and a Swede with Mr. Hoffman. The Y. M. C. A. secretaries attempt to inform the parents of allied prisoners of the whereabouts of the swedes, answers to Mr. Hoffman inquiries from commandants of camps had been given more promptly since the break than before.
MR. HOFFMAN ONLY AMERICAN
"The stories that the German people are starving are false," Mrs. Hoffman said. "Food can be obtained only in limited quantities and by means of tickets issued by the food commissioners. But every one of them Poor. For every fifty cents a bushel when I left Berlin, sugar, milk and all necessities were cheaper than they are in America. I paid my maid $5 a month.
GOVERNMENT REGULATES FOOD
"Each family is assigned to a merchant after they have registered with the food commissioner and are allowed to purchase food on certain days. Each purchaser was allowed a half a pound of meat a week.
"It is Mr. Hoffman's opinion that the German government is caring for the prisoners as well as they can under the conditions. They can give them no better food than the German people have. The stories which I

American Landscape Gardening Has Been Neglected by Artists Says Professor Stevens
The lecture of Professor Stevens was one of a series given by the college faculty. It was illustrated by colored steriopic views taken from all parts of the country in addition to slides made by landscape artists.
The Weather
"Much of the land of Kansas is commonplace in appearance because of the lack of trees," said Prof. W. C. Stevens of the department of botany in a lecture on "Art Out of Doors", in Fraser Hall yesterday afternoon. American can raise more trees and shrubs than woodland, the ink of care and the supervision of a landscape artist alone keep it behind."
Fair tonight, possibly light frost in extreme east east portion. Warmer west semi-horizon Saturday. Increasing rain in west and central portions.
Professor Mix Makes Survey
Prof. Mix makes surveys of entomology, is making a survey this week of the Kaw Valley potato fields. Professor Mix is engaged in plant pathology work for the state, and the survey which he is now conducting is for the purpose of advising measures against the various potato enemies.
Collegiate Alumnae Association dinner will be given at the home of Mrs. Bennett M. Allen, 1652 Indiana Street, Saturday, May 5.
Two views of the campus in which the landscape is artistic were shown. "These views show what could be made of the campus from every viewpoint rather than a few secluded spots," said Professor Stevens.
"Success in landscape architecture is due to creating curiosity, interest, and subjects for imagination. Buildings and large views should be set off by trees and foliage; bright flowers be secluded in rear gardens."

PROSPECTIVE DOCTORS MUST STAY IN SCHOOL
Supply of Physicians for Future Years Imperilled by Misplaced Patriotism
FILL ALL REQUIREMENTS
Physics, Chemistry and Biology Courses are as Important as Anatomy
Rules to prevent medical and premedical students from leaving school and enlisting are being put in force by the School of Medicine in a vigorous campaign to head off misplaced patriotism that would diminish the supply of medical school graduates in the next few years. The University is co-operating with the Council of National Defense in this effort to ensure that medical students will be given premedical or medical students for partial work, if they withdraw from school now.
"This is a tremendously serious matter," Dr. John Sundwall said this afternoon, "and we must look to the supply of physicians for the future. How serious it is may be judged from the following notice that is being sent all over the United States by the defense council:
"In the present national crisis a continuous supply of adequately trained medical personnel is intuitely essential for the maintenance of armed posse in the field. It would be wise to prepare for the immediate emergency alone, we must face the postponement of our years. It is, therefore, the patriotic duty of our students intending to study medicine in main under instruction until the country can avail itself of their training."
"Medical schools are in a sense 'work' works' necessary to produce for the army and navy. All medical schools offer an interest of national safety continue their work until graduation. With the Navy can utilize, all graduates are Navy can utilize, all graduates are which the surgeon general of the military is essential for their arms of the service.
"In view of the above instructions pre-medical students who will have met all requirements for entrance to the medical school at the end of the present semester are urged to remain in school. The School of Medicine cannot excuse students from such fundamental prerequisite courses as physics, chemistry and biology. These courses are as essential in the training of physicians as are anatomy, physiology and other courses of the medical curriculum. No student in the latter group. Likewise they cannot expect to be excused; the fundamental prerequisite courses. Pre-medical students who have left the University with only partial credit in physics, chemistry and biology will be required to make up these courses in full before going on with the medical courses. No other procedure is in my opinion possible for the simple reason that these courses in full are fundamentally essential to the study of medicine."

Plain Tales from the Hill
At lawst. At lawst. It has arrived.
What has? Sh-h! h-bh! Bryon Cohn is wearing an ankle watch. Contrary to expectations, an ankle watch is worn on the ankle. That is—Bryon wears his half way between the shoe top and the lower fringe of his trousers. Byron is no relation to the post, Byron, who wrote, in "Paradise Lost" "A man's a man for a' that."
No, mademoiselle, the "Stuene Party" scheduled for Saturday night is not the caucus of a great political organization. Just merely an entertainment at Westminster Hall for K. U. students.
Society Note:
There was a very quiet election on the Hill yesterday. There was no mud slung and no student tried to vote more than once.
Up until yesterday a certain Freshman was running for office. We won't say whether he got it or not cause it has nothing to do with the story. But anyway this fresh is not equipped extraordinarily well with a thorough knowledge of English diction. That settled we find him at a sorority house with his date. He uses the old gag about if "you-vote-for-me I'll-make-you u-u-chairm-a-of-the-decorating-man."
But she is wise.
"How many supporters have you anyhow," she asked all sincere.
And they haven't recognized each other yet.
Cold buzzings came into the ear of the candidate and then he spoke "Two, of course. Think I am a centipede?"
First chapter:
Billy Weber and Adie Lindsey lootering around the basement window of Shoot Hall yesterday doing a little haka-longing for a coke at Brick's or Lea's.
Second chapter, same scene;
Bottle of milk on window ledge placed there by department of bacteriology after testing the milk concentrate. There was cream on the top.
Third siege, ditto;
Adie has the idea of drinking the contents. Billy agrees. They drink, Adie adds the cream part for the milk and Billy adds the milk 'cause that is all remaining.
Fourth and last act. Faint music.
Fourth and last act. Faint music:
Student from already-mentioned
tellows Billy and Adie that the
milk bottle has a cherry for cunning
little germs with no other place
to go. Billy and Adie look and act
sick. Who wouldn't?
'Nother student informs them that the milk was o.k. They go in and vote again.
Epilogue:
Jawn Montgomery and Dean Reitzel are kansan reporters. Jawn writes sport and Dean reads copy. They combined the two jobs last night and both went on a story. Said story being the swimming meet among the women in Robinson Pool. But only three men were to be present. One was to be Dr. James Gaismon, another W. O. Hamilton in the field, Herman Olcott. Doctor Naismith found hope up and Jawn and Deanna thought up, they could perhaps get in his place. The talks to Miss Pratt. But she said no. And nix. So they sat on the steps and watched the procession go by. Procession of loud swimming suits. Then they came back and wrote the story. That is why we don't have an extra good story of the meet.
Now is the low-tide of the year financially. Gail Hall feels this. Also she feels that with war ahead, this University will be little more than a Girl's Seminary next year; and dates a rarity. "What's the use of owning a whole stock of party dresses!" argues economical Gail. Accordingly she chooses the pinkest, ruffiest one and offers it for sale. No one can afford the price. To work one bracelet, Gail decides to raffle off the dress, Gail, the sisters and outsiders rush to the chances. Would it not be a bargain to buy a dress by chance for twenty-five cents? Business thrives.
The landlady hears of this. She raises her eyebrows, and reports Gall Hall to the city attorney. "Yes," he decrees, "any citizen running a raffling establishment breaks the Kansas Law."
Gail is excitedly awaiting prosecution.

CAP AND GOWN FOR SENIORS
Chancellor Corrects Impression That Custom Would Be Done Away
With—Orders by May 10
"The University Senate has decided to have commencement exercises" she Chancellor Strong, when asked at her whether seniors would wear caps and down that year's dress, "and there is nothing like the dignity to the occasion like the caps and gowns. No senior would like to get his degree after four years of hard work without all the honor and dignitiy that goes with the graduating ceremony."
The manager desires that orders be placed by May 10, to insure prompt assistance.

RETURN TO ATHLETICS
The great moments of life are but moments like the others. Your doom is spoken in a word or two—Thack-eray.
Now that the government has made clear the plans concerning the organization of the new army there is a feeling among the universities that athletic activities which had been abandoned as a result of the war may fity be resumed.
The haste with which many institutions turned from the athletic field to the parade ground or the farm has not reflected the attitude of the government which has taken preparation calmly and deliberately.
Harvard, along with other universities, has again entered into the athletic world. They are going to profit by the experience of England and Canada who found too late that it was undesirable to cut out athletic sports, however serious the situation. West Point can better afford to drop intercollegiate sport because athletics in military schools are only supposed to break the monotony of the daily drill and not to serve the purpose of exercise.
Even though the United States is preparing for war, universities should not dispense with the occupations of peace which will be of value in the great work of preparation. If there is going to be any attempt to continue the work of the universities in a normal manner next year and in the meantime train students to serve one's country better, then why should athletics be abolished?
Harvard, even in this short time, has seen that in acting hastily she made a great mistake. Most of the western schools have retained athletics and will continue playing intercollegiate games.
If the war continues the activities of the University next year will be far from normal. Then why should Kansas put an end to those things which will help train men to be of greater service and to help keep up the interest of those who feel that they can serve their country best by continuing their education?
The Kansan hopes the Missouri Valley Conference will decide to keep intercollegiate athletics.
Save the waste of time as well as things if you would serve your country.
AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION
The 12:20 whistle blows. Students pour out of the buildings and fill the walks leading down the Hill. At the head of Adams street they are four deep at the road crossing. Suddenly a big car dashes past Green Hall and starts down the Hill. Students at the crossing jump in all directions. The driver does not slacken his speed, but continues headlong down the inline.
At Louisiana, and Ohio streets students hesitate and jump back as the big car honks its way downward.
The car approaches Tennessee street. From the south comes the noise of an approaching street-car. Brakes grind and squeek, but the driver cannot stop. His speed is too great. Petestrians stand and gasp for a collision seems unavoidable. Then a chorus of relieved sighs as the car whirls around unto Tennessee on two wheels barely ten feet ahead of the oncoming car. Of course nothing happened, but does it pay?
Certain professors still insist on holding classes in air proof class rooms, even on warm days. Then they can't understand why students fall asleep during class.
K. U, HAS THEM, TOO
Some University students are constantly proving themselves to be unworthy of college advantages by pillering books from the shelves in the library. Some books, which are not signed for, have been missing for months, and it is even reported that they are being used by the thieves as regular texts in their classes.
Certain parts of the library have been seriously depleted in this manner.
Too bad we can't discover just who is responsible for this dishonesty and mildly inform them that they are undesirable members of the student body—Utah Chronicle.
Couldn't we get along lots faster if knockers, instead of spending so much time asking the above question, would sit down quietly and figure out just where we ought to be going?
Admiral Peary spent twenty-three years in his unique effort before he reached the pole. But all during those twenty-three years he knew exactly where he was trying to go.
Do we want more "college spirit?" People have been trying to define that term for a good many years, but even yet it is so vague and variable as to be practically meaningless. Do we want unity? If so, in what way and for what purpose? Absolute unity would mean absolute stagnation!
Before we talk much more about our failure to accomplish our ideals it might be wise for some bright fellow to discover just what those ideals are.—Utah Chronicle.
The smelter workers of lola have agreed to observe one meatless day during the week. If working men can do without the necessities of life one day during the week, why can't students observe an "ice creamless" day?

-Verlin Harrold, in Indiana Daily Student.
THE SITUATION AT K. S. A. C.
For the spirit we voice in the waving on high—
Of our hundreds and hundreds of flags.
President Waters struck home Tuesday in chapel when he told the women that their part in the world was one with the part played by the men.
The women can commence doing their "bit" right now. At several Eastern colleges, resolutions have been passed against extravagance in women's dress. This action suggests to women of the West that they should awaken—that sacrifices of all kinds in the direction of economy are necessary to the successful conclusion of the war.
The action of several local sororities in cancelling their annual spring term dances is commendable. It is one instance of beauty and patriotic thinking in the midst of complacence and indifference.
But why not carry this further? To a large degree, women influence the purses of men. Dinner parties, dances, and the theatre are all forms of money that many as common enemies. Why couldn't the patriotic woman suggest to the man who offers to foolishly spend money entertaining her that he give that money to the Red Cross, or that he save that money for a "rinaymond" dress worn during the present war storm? Either would be a form of patriotism.
Sacrifices are necessary. That should be impressed upon every one. The woman — or man, either — who wastes money, food, or clothing in the present crisis is lacking in the higher patriotism that places devotion to country and to others above devotion to self.—Kansas State Collegian.
By means of psychological tests Dean Seashore of Central College proposes to tell whether children have any musical ability. He hopes that in this way parents may be forwarned against spending a small fortune to make prima donna or eminent pianists out of their daughters. Also the dean believes that the way will be opened to uncover unusual talent that might never be heard from in the usual course of events.-Sagebrush.
The University of Wisconsin has cancelled all athletic events for this spring, Colby, Maine, and John Hopkins have done the same. The students at Vermont have decided to continue with their athletics until the United States shall issue a call for all college men.
Examinations will be given April 20 by the Kansas Service commission for the positions of bookkeepers and accountants in Kansas. Examinations will be held at Kansas City, Wichita, and Topeka. Prof. W. L. Burdick of the School of Law is the chief examiner.
Vassar College has put into effect a program of wartime economy. Large dances, including the senior prom and the minor ball, were called off at the end of World War II; it was decided to simplify the commencement season by omitting the hoop dance and daisy chain. The college will devote all its spare energies to preparation for war service and the raising of funds to promote classes in the art and music and mechanism of motor cars, type-writing and stenography—Ex.

Vassar Stops Dancing
The University of Oregon has an unknown heiress worth $500,000 in her own right, with an annual income of $50,000, who is going through college on $35 per month. The campus is a furore to find out who she may be. This much concerning the identity of the "beautiful incoop" has been found out—she dresses with good brushstrokes and pretentious beauty does not belong to a socrity. She is a sensible person, desirous of getting an education and does not care to be bothered by fortune hunters—Sagebrenner.

Paleontologists Get Specimen
The students of paleontology have been piecing together the broken remains of a specimen of the Eryops, which lived about 12,000,000 years ago. In life the Eryops resembled the alligator in habit and structure. It was carnivorous, fed on the animals in water and on the banks of rivers. So far an almost perfect jaw bone the animal has been restored.
There are more than six hundred men in the University of Texas playing basketball. It is planned to have a statewide tournament, in form of athletics by next year—Ex.
A call has been issued in the State University of Montana for volunteers who are willing to sit as if in pain for thirty minutes, while the "first aid" class of 25 girls bandages their supposed wounds.
The winding of the May pole at the University of Montana will be done by a military march and maneuvers this year.
Freshmen in English at the University of Montana will be required to memorize "Ammon" and the Star "Marshal" authority they will receive credit for their work.
Sixty girls from the University of Montana have organized a Red Cross unit and sent a petition for a charter and the Cross Society in Washington, D. C.
The annual state interscholastic track and field meet at the University of Montana has been called off on account of the war.
Students in the School of Journalism at the University of Montana have adopted the French army tradition of answering roll call for their comrades who have enlisted in the National Guard and the regular army.
The historical pageant which was to have been given during commencement week at the University of Oregon has been postponed because military affairs are leaving no time for rehearsals.
Military drill will continue normally at the University of Washington, until the close of the university in June.
The University of Washington will be represented at the government army officers' training camp at San Francisco by 160 students.
The University of Washington is now making plans to organize a unit of university men who are interested in bringing themselves for naval service.

RED CROSS LOGATES UNDER WATKINS' BANK
Organization of More Than 1,000 Members Prepared for Active Home Relief Work
The Red Cross Society has established headquarters under the Watkins Bank and the organization in Lawrence is being perfected to do work that will soon fall its lot to the Red Cross. I asked that all charitable and philanthropic work line up behind Red Cross. The statistics gathered in the Red Cross survey on April 21 are being rapidly compiled so that they may be of use. Roy E. Burt, c'19, has withdrawn from the University of Michigan's office hours at headquarters every afternoon from 2 to 5 oclock.
More than three hundred new members have joined the Red Cross in Lawrence and 216 members of the faculty, pushing the total membership of the organization here to over a thousand. As soon as the Red Cross is fully organized in Lawrence, a county organization will be formed in the community in the county. Already Baldwin has set to work and promises to secure a membership of five hundred in the Red Cross Society there.
The work so far has been in collecting linen for bandages and packing for shipment according to the instructions issued by the national headquarters of the Red Cross. All supplies will be shipped to centers where they may be sent out as they are needed. Over five hundred families in Lawrence have agreed to give old linen for bandages.
Several classes in Red Cross work have been organized. Miss Edith Snow teaches a class in surgical techniques through the third and fourth Saturdays. Miss Noble has a class in bandage cutting and Miss Pearl Laptad conducts the classes in general instruction. Dr. Child has a class of more than one hundred K. U. women.
Prof. J. N. Van der Vries of the department of mathematics said this morning: "Almost every family is taught to say, 'I usually have no idea of how they may be of assistance. What the Red Cross is trying to do is to put all charitable and philanthropic work on hold.'" Everyone has an opportunity to help."
"What we want to impress on the people," said Mr. Burt yesterday afternoon, "is that we are not after men to go to the battlefield, but we want people here at home who are willing to help out of the war or supplies of some kind, or who are willing to help out the Red Cross in some way here in Lawrence."
In the survey 128 families said that they had no garden but would plant one if land was assigned to them. Many others said they had land they would donate for gardens. These names have been turned over to the committee on gardens in the Chamber of Commerce.

Theta Sigma Phi Entertains
Theta Sigma Phi entertained two guests a tea yesterday afternoon to Mrs. Eustace Brown's rooms to meet Miss Kate Stephens, of New York. Miss Stephens gave an informal talk on the "ideas of a newspaper Woman." She spoke of ideals of the race and of family traditions which afford strength and inspiration to the woman journalist.

CARTOONS ARE NEEDED TO AID PREPAREDNESS
Prizes Offered for Best Results to Stimulate Recruiting for War Units
War Units
Information concerning the Patriotic Poster Competition received this morning by the School of Fine Arts has been posted in the hall of the department of drawing and painting, on the third floor of the Administration Building.
Five hundred dollars in prizes is being offered by the Conference Committee on National Preparedness; two hundred and fifty dollars for a navy to induce men to enter the navy, and the same sum for an army poster.
The United States feels the need of two posters to stimulate the recruiting which will arrest the attention and awaken a spirit of patriotism. And while the real reward will come from the consciousness of having rendered a public service, yet the committee on national preparedness is offering as a financial consideration prizes of $250 for each poster.
The national need of such posters was felt to be sufficiently urgent by W. K. Hekking, instructor in drawing and painting, that he had assigned a class in composition for preparing of art, for either summer, before knowledge of the national committee's offer reached the department. Mr. Hekking urges every one who has a good idea for such a poster to develop it and offers any one in the University work out the technical parts of his illustration.
"The attractive force of the idea will be the main requisite for this sort of a poster," said Mr. Hekking as an artist, "because it serves as good an idea as an artist."
Some of the specifications for the patriotic poster are: The design should be in color preferably and accompanied by a suitable slogan or sentiment; size, twenty by thirty inches with 100 square inches at the bottom for appropriate lettering. The ideal poster will give to the man who

GERMANY IS FAR FROM BEATEN—MRS. HOFFMANN
(Continued from page 1)
CIVILIANS EXCLUDE FROM CAMPS
"It is practically impossible for a civilian to get permission to visit a camp. I could not get permission to visit the camps with Mr. Hoffman. He took our little daughter Louise to the first English country on Christmas day. They came back loaded with presents which the men had given her from their Christmas boxes from England."
The Russian prisoners are employed as garbage collectors, and street cleaners and other branches of municipal service in Berlin.
LEFT WITH GERARD
Mrs. Hoffman left Germany the middle of February with Ambassador Gerard's party. The German government gave the party a special train with dining car service and pullmans for most of the passengers to Zurich, Switzerland. No fare was charged. The Y. M. C. A. secretaries intended to go to America with the Gerard party but a cablegram from New York told them to wait at Zurich for further orders. They stayed there a month. One of the men arrived in Switzerland and the others ordered to stay in Switzerland to work in the camps there. There are 30,000 men interned there.
EVERYTHING QUET IN PARIS where Mrs. Hoffman spent a week in Paris, "The city is brilliant with the uniforms of the allied soldiers but that is practically the only indication of war. The city was raided by policemen and soldiers, but there was no noise or confusion except the warning of the sirens. The people have become too used to raids to become excited.
"We sailed on the Alfonso XII and had a quiet passage. Only two boats were seen. Everyone was entirely indifferent to danger of submarine attack. We were certain that we would have a safe crossing. Mr. Hoffman intends to stay in Germany until the end of the war."

ENGINEERS LIST ALUMN
K. U. Points to Army's Need for Mechanical and Chemical En-
The School of Engineering is registering all its alumni for possible service in the army engineering corps Cards have been sent to 800 alumni of the school to find out how many may be listed in the Reserve Corps.
Many alumni already have enlisted in the engineering section of the Reserve Corps, but the army is more in need of men for the ordinance section, especially mechanical and chemical engineers, it is said.
Cards will indicate the kind of service for which the men are best fitted, and whether any steps have yet been taken for active service. These cards will be filed with the national service register.
Some of the fields in the Engineers' Reserve Corps are engineer enlisted reserve, ship draftman, work in arsenal, civil engineer navy department, engineer, quartermaster department, reserve and foreman for munition plants.

HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES ARRIVE IN LAWRENCE
Annual Kansas Interscholastic Track Meet Will be Held on McCook Tomorrow
TENNIS TOURNAMENT TOO
Tenth Annual Meet Postponed Until Saturday on Account of Muddy Courts
Athletes for the annual Kansas interscholastic track meet have begun to arrive in Lawrence for the meet. There will be more than 175 athletes on McCook Field when the meet is started tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. The tenth annual interscholastic tennis tournament of the Missouri Valley is scheduled to start today but the matches will not begin before tomorrow on account of the muddy courts.
In the track meet which is scheduled for the afternoon, there will be three different classes, the schools being placed in different classes according to enrollment. K. U. Varsity men will act as officials at the high school meet. The track should be in fairly good shape for the meet if no more rain falls between now and the time of the meet.
Men for the tennis tournament are already in the city. The Kansas City, Mo., high schools will be well represented in the tournament. Kansas City, Kansas high school will send a team to the meet, as well as Wichita, Pratt, Winfield, Eskridge, Leavenworth, north of Kansas City, who will be played on the nine McCook Field courts and admission to the contests is free.
THREE MEET IN ONE
MEDALS TO WINNERS
All track events from the 50-yard dash up to the mile will be run in the meet and all Missouri Valley field events will be on the program of the meet. J. C. Grover, the popular Missouri Valley starter, will start all of the men, and this will assure a fast and well regulated meet.
MEDIAN TURNER
Entry autumn will be given to all men who have attended the meet. Medals will be given to winners of the first four places, and silver loving cups will be awarded to winners of each class, as well as to the individual point winners and any man breaking a record. The high school athletes will be entertained by the various fraternity houses while in Lawrence.
SPORT BEAMS
St. Marys called off the baseball game yesterday which was postponed from Tuesday because of rain. The weather has been such that Coach McCaryt's followers have not had a real practice for a week or more. The war situation is also causing considerable unrest among the players and it is probable a few of the men will quit to take military training.
Interest in spring basketball practice has also been lagging a little the last week but a new impetus will be given to it next Monday night, according to Captain Rudolf Uhrlaub. A coach who was unable until the last week and it is likely that more will come out Monday night. Coach Dutch Uhrlaub said the men were learning the new plays exceptionally well and that the Jay-hawkers would launch a championship quintet in the Missouri Valley Conference if the war did not cause the disbandment of intercollegiate athletics.
The women athletes of the University will play real baseball in a week or so, according to Coach Haze ratt. Pazz. Each class will organize a team and participate in games that the prominent athletes said the games would be open to everyone—except
the species, man. The game will be played south of the gymnasium.
K. U. ENLISTS IN BUG FIGHT
Uncle Sam Asks the Department of Entomology to do
The federal government has asked he department of entomology to cooperate with farmers in destroying he cren pests on Kansas farms.
Prof. S. J. Hunter, who is at the head of this work in Kansas, will divide the state into sections and appoint entomologists to each section. The government has asked all members of the department to work the year round during the war. Many of the advance and graduate students also be used. Details of the plan have not yet been fully developed.
INTERCLASS TRACK IS SLATED FOR MONDAY
Has Been Three Times Postponed - Seniors Have Edge
on Dope
The interclass track meet will be held on McCook College Monday afternoon starting at four o'clock, and unless there is a decided change in the weather conditions, the four classes will have to contend for honors on a muddy field. The freshman and senior teams are going weekeong being out of the running for the juniors in the high jump and broad jump.
Few men have been out for practice on account of war conditions as well as the cold and rain and the winner of the meet will probably be the team which can use its veteran track man team in the engagement in the meet. The freshmen lack the amount of training which the veteran senior track队 has.
Practically all of the Varsity track men should be in good shape for the meet on account of their meet with the Kansas Agagies today. The freshmen will be weakened by the loss of Mara Jones and the wounded mores will gain strength if Hilton competes for them in the hurdles and dashes.
The interclass meet was originally scheduled for last Saturday but was postponed three times until the present date of Monday was set.
MUST HAVE SUNSHINE TO PRESENT MAY FETE
Delayed Celebration Is Again Postponed—This Time
Indefinitely
And again is the May Fete postponed, this time indefinitely. The Fete was scheduled for tomorrow but it wasn't until he made it necessary that it be postponed.
"We must have one day of sunshine before we can attempt the Fete," said Mig Gittens, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. this morning. "It would be impossible to give the Fete tomorrow even if the sun should shine. We will wait until Sunday and then set a date. The time of the performance will be heralded by criers who will cavass the student district.
"We are already with the costumes and could give the fete with a few hours notice. We are sorry that we have to disappoint the many people who were coming from out of town but it is the only thing that can be done with the present weather conditions."
Tuesday at 4:30 o'clock or Thursday at the same hour may be the time of the performance. But those times are not definite.

KANSAS AGGIE MEET IS BEING HELD TODAY
Jayhawkers are Doped to Win in Annual Outdoor
Contest
The K. U.-Aggie track meet is being run off on McCook Field this afternoon in spite of the muddy track. Neither team has had training for a fast meet on account of weather conditions. Unless the Aggies have implemnted an even faster track, the Kansas in March, the Jayhawks should have an easy time in winning.
Coach Germany Schultz will send a squad of fifteen men here to compete. He will have Holroyd and Wilder in the dashes and the hurdles. Weimer also does the hurdles. For Kansas Hilton, Crowley and Davidson are running in the dashes and hurdles.
O'Leary and Welsh will run the quarter for K. U., while H洛ryd and Granfield will do the event for K. S. A. C. Rodkley and Murphy are entered in the half and the Aggies have Chafayez and Gordon as the German will run the mile for the farmers, and Sproull and either Howland or Stateler, for Kansas.
Stateler, Groene and possibly Howland will be the K. U. entries in the two-mile, while the Manhattan school have Tillotson, one of the best men on their team, in this event. The relay is almost a sure win for Kansas.
Trewecke will not be able to jump for Kansas in either the high or broad jump on account of his bad leg. Rice and Miller will do the jumping for Kansas and the Aggies have Wilder and Weimer. Pattinson and Wilder will oppose Enlow in the pole vault. In the weights Kansas will have Small, Casey, Woodward, and Ziegler and the Aggies have Shafer.
FRESHMEN OUTSWIM THREE UPPER CLASSES
Nose Out Close Victory In Annual Women's Interclass Swimming Meet

The meet, on the whole, was the best that has ever been held at the University, according to Coach Hazel Pratt. More women were out to make much more enthusiasm was manifested than at the meet last year.
Two new events, the 100-foot side stroke and the 100-foot breast stroke, were added this year. A large silver loving cup was given the winning freshman team by Mgr. W. O. Hammil announced.

ATTEND IMPRESSIVE PATRIOTIC MEETING
NUMBER 147.
Convention Hall Filled to Over flowing to Greet French Visitors
K. U. WAS REPRESENTED
Prof. Van der Vries Pronounced It the Most Impressive Patriotic Meeting
Professor Van der Vries, of the University who attended the patriotic meeting at Kansas City yesterday, said this morning the Hall was filled to overflowing by several bodies before both clubs and reported that over twice that number were on the outside, unable to get in. Professor Van der Vries further stated this was the most impressive meeting of its kind he had ever attended. It was beyond Dewey's reception. It was from the British American War. Christianism was burned into the heart of every individual in the great hall.
SANG FRENCH NATIONAL SONG
As the French party came into the hall the entire audience came to their feet and swung into the renowned French Marseillaise with such vigor that the French party were moved to tears, because of the expressiveness of the strains. Alice Neilson also led the large audience in singing Marseillaise during the program.
TWO GOVERNORS THERE
Viviani, who could not speak English, talked in his native tongue. Though but a few people understood his language, M. Viviani spoke with such force and emphasis that the audience could not help grasping his line of thought. Joffre in his short talk told of how the French had come to America with the purpose of Democracy in 1776, of how France had fought for, the same cause in 1870, and how he said these two countries are lined up in the greatest fight for democracy ever fought. At this the audience gave vent to their brotherly feeling with prolonged cheering.
Governor Gardner of Missouri and Governor Capper of Kansas were also among the number who gave short and inspiring talks. Governor Capper said in part, "Kansas is back of this great fight with the very best men of the Union, with its money and with its products until a satisfactory end should be reached." It was a successful president pledged in unity their allegiance to their country and to the assistance of France.
Dean F. W, Blackmar, Vice-Chancellor w. L, Burdick and Prof. J. N, Van der Vries composed the committee represent the University of Kansas.

WILL YOU HELP?
Here is a chance for direct patriotic services by University students and faculty.
The University War Committee with the aid of the Women's Student Government Association and the Men's Student Council plans to raise a war fund for University students, the first $500 to be used as a company fund for Company M.
Unless a war fund is contributed by the University, our men in Company M will have neither cots nor blankets. In case of sickness the men will run the risk of receiving inadequate medical aid. Do you, students and faculty—who remain behind and enjoy the comforts of life want the men who willingly offer themselves to their country—do you want them to sleep on the ground without the blankets needed to protect them from rain and snow?
Are you willing that our company shall have unnecessary sickness and suffer loss of life because it can not have adequate medical aid?
This is an opportunity for those who can not enlist to do "their bit."
A patriotic opportunity.
How many of the students and faculty will show their patriotism and loyalty by wearing a tag?
RECOUNT ON ELECTION
NOT YET SATISFACTORY
Presidency of the School of Engineering and Vice-president of Council in Question
A recount was held Saturday o, the votes in the School of Engineering in the student council election of last Thursday. On the first count Paul Schmidt and O'Laryse were even. A second count saw which comprised two-thirds of the total vote, gave Schmidt a majority of two but when the votes in the School of Engineering were recounted Saturday morning it was found that a mistake had been made and both Schmidt and who had a majority of two votes from the School of Engineering, and Schmidt were defeated by two votes.
Friends of Schmidt and Schoenfeldt are talking of contesting the election but neither candidate has decided what action would best be taken. It is charged that after the first count in the School of Engineering the ballots were scattered about the room and were not collected until the next morning. This the supporters of Schoenfeldt and Schmidt claim is ground for a contest. This charge has been denied by the election judges and the centest, if one is wrong and it will be brought on some other ground. When the recount was made one of the election judges, Walter Pickering, was not present and this fact may figure in the contest charges.
Another charge which does not effect the Engineering School but which effects the race for vice-president of the council is that a student who failed to attend the University a month ago to take a job was allowed to vote in the election. This man told several people that he cast his ballot for *Oleary*. If his vote were thrown out, Oleary's majority would be one vote
What the student council will do in regard to the matter is not known but a special meeting of both the old and new members will take place tonight by Paul Greever and it is rumored that some action in regard to the election will be taken.

Fund Authorized by War Bureau to be Raised for Boys of Company M.
KANSAN TO HELP COLLECT
Registrar Foster Is To be Treas
urer—Men's Council and W.
S. G. A. to Assist
The University of Kansas will have an opportunity to show that she stands squarely behind her soldier boys and that she has the true giving spirit when a campaign to raise a fund for the benefit of the enlisted men of the University is launched this week. The money will be raised by selling tags to every member of the University family—professor and students, both men and women—but there is nothing to keep large-hearted donors from purchasing the tag if they chose to do so. In addition there will be an all-University dance in Robinson gymnasium Friday night for the benefit of the fund.
The first $500 raised will be used to establish a company fund for the University's own organization, Company M. The remaining funds will be spent under the direction of the University War Bureau to aid the enlisted men from the University. A provision has been made in the United States for the formation of the formal fund for every community. While the government does not direct the spending of the money, it audits all accounts of the company.
FUND AUTHORIZED
The War Bureau of the University authorized the raising of this fund at its last meeting. The campaign was placed in the hands of the Men's Student Council, the Women's Student Government Association, and the Kansan. Registrar George Foster will act as treasurer.
"The motive behind the movement is to reduce to a minimum the rigors and unnecessary suffering of camp life for the University men," said Prof. W. W. Davis, a member of the War Bureau, this morning. "The demands upon the government at the outbreak of a war it can hardly supply the bare necessities for the men. Experience has shown that it is necessary for every company to maintain a company fund for emergencies. If there are not cots and blankets, the company without a fund sleeps on the ground. In case of sickness in the company, the men run the risk of receiving inadequate medical attention. No excess baggage such as athletic wear is required." The company carried if the company does not have the money to pay the excess transportation charges."
COMMUNITIES MUST HELP
It is customary for the localities from which the companies come to raise these funds. The University feels a responsibility for her company, and it is predicted that this movement will meet with a quick and ready response.
Companies in the regular army secure their company funds by reducing their rations. The government allows forty cents a day to every man for food. The men co-operate and live on less for a certain length of time and put the money saved in the company fund.
K. U. demonstrated its generosity last fall when she contributed to the Belgian and Armenian Relief work. But judging from reports from other schools, the University of Kansas has been asked to give very little.
Vacancies caused by the enlistment of men in the business world have opened opportunities for several University men. Harry Morgan and Darald Hartley, juniors in the department of journalism, have taken advantage of these opportunities and are working on the Kansas City Star. Hartley began work on the Star Friday and Morgan, on the Times Sunday.

A feature of the program will be Hawaiian music by genuine Hawaiian steel guitars and ukuleles. Admission will be taken for the Red Cross Society.
AMERICA WILL HAVE
NO EASY WAR---GRIESA
Former Student, Back From France, Sees Little Hope for Short Conflict
That the United States must keep a steady current of supplies going to the allies to enable the allies to win over Germany is the opinion of Charles Griesa, a former K. U. student who has just returned from France where he spent six months in the American Ambulance Service. In 1983 he met the United States to send a large army to France because not only supplies are needed but also a large number of men if Germany is to be thrown back.
The prospect for an early settlement of the war is not bright, Griesa says, and unless it is ended by a revolution in Germany it will drag out for some time. The gains of the allies on Berlin have finally encouraged because of the heavy use of men and supplies which accompany the advances. On the other hand the German U-boat campaign is a real mence to the allies because these supplies which are being sunk are absolutely essential to the success of the allies. A revolution from within is therefore the result of the close watch maintained by the Germans which would prevent any organization.
Griesa left Boston last September to take up work with the American Ambulance Service in France and since that time has seen much of the trench life of the soldiers and is in a good position to judge the conditions prevailing. Griesa was a junior in Army and is a member of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. One of the first things Griesa did on his return home was to file an application for the Officers' Reserve Training Camp at Fort Riley.

SHERMAN WAS RIGHT
SAYS AMBULANCE MAN
Lester Johnson, Back From Service in France Tells of Conditions
AMERICANS ARE HONORED
U. S. Did the Right Thing By Entering War Says Mr. Johnson
"War is what Sherman said it was," Lester Johnson just returned from three months in France, said this morning. "But the present belligerents should make apologies to Satan."
"The United States has done right in entering the war, France has borne the terrible part of the struggle for the world and the French soldiers are well suited for peace. But they are still hanging on with the characteristic grit.
Mr. Johnson was with section thirteen of the American Ambulance Field Service, working in the Champagne district left of Verdun, during February and March. He studied at atchin at atchin at Minnesota and was a student at Rush Medical School when he sailed for France.
SCENES ARE HORRIBLE
"The country around Verdun is torn up with shell craters big enough to contain a house. Dead bodies line the roads, for which the death carts have no room. The soldiers are in the trenches only every third week. They are used to the almost unendurable conditions now. The Canadians and the Australians are among the best soldiers at the front.
"The Germans are glad to be taken prisoners. Their lives are practically saved then and they are treated just like the French privates. They have the same food and the same number of smokes. Some of the prisoners taken in February had no overcools or gloves. The French will not allow them to talk either to soldiers or to ambulance men.
HONOR ALL AMERICANS
"The French revere American citizens for the part they have already played. But before the war was declared I felt out of place in France, I was in Liverpool when the declaration was made. The spirit changed immediately. British Tommies saluted every American they met."
The ambulance drivers go from the base hospitals to the back-line trenches every night, taking back the wounded. Around Verdun they were under shell fire constantly. Often they cannot tel whether the soldiers are dead or wounded and so risk their lives for dead men.
SHIPS GO NORTH
"I think the Germans are caring for the Allies' prisoners as well as they can now. Public opinion was too strong for them. But several months ago they were using them in the front line trenches."
Mr. Johnson sailed from Liverpool on the St. Paul for New York. The ship took a course around the north of Ireland to Halifax and then south of Ireland to Donegal, the way to escape submarines. All boats must enter the harbour now before five o'clock. A net to catch submarines is let down after that for the night.

MUST MEASURE SENIORS
Now that you Seniors voted to wear caps and gowns during Commencement Week at a recent meeting why don't you take two minutes and be measured for said garments. All orders must be in by Wednesday and to date only eighteen women and three men have placed orders. The vote was, "all seniors must," accent on the must, wear caps and gowns—now that means that you MUST, another accent on the must, give your order and be measured. Give that man at the table in Fraser Hall something to do.
WINNER AND LOSER
"This is the time for America to correct her unpardonable fault of wastefulness and extravagance"—but as university students are we doing our share?
The defeat of Jap Glasco for president of the Men's Student Council should not be construed as a handicap in the campaign which Glasco is to make in the capacity of alumni representative for the University in the interests of the Permanent Income resolution.
The qualities of persistence and aggressiveness which cost Glaseo votes in a contest for student office, are the qualities that make a successful campaigner.
Willard Glasco is not easily discouraged. He has the best interests of the University at heart. He has the ability to smile after defeat. And in the next year he will be found fighting as before for the Permanent Income Bill and other University interests.
As to Walter Hawelorst, the successful candidate for president of the Men's Student Council, the vote shows the esteem and confidence felt for him. In the student activities, with which he has been connected he has shown that he is a capable man for the office to which he has been elected.
University students realize now, more than ever that the office of president of the Council is a very important and responsible one. The Kansan wishes success to the new Council. May they be able to prevent graft and unfair play in all student activities and may it not be possible next year for "out siders" to make charges of crooked deals in University student enterprises.
Humanity need air and light even more than do plants and flowers said Sir William Lever. Judging from the amount of fresh air that some of the professors have in their class rooms they evidently are not aware of the needs of humanity.
MORE ASSIGNMENTS
Now that the end of the semester is near, reports of various kinds, assigned weeks ago, are becoming due. In addition to these reports, many professors have assigned regular class work requiring two hours a day for preparation. A few quizzes have been mixed in for variety.
The student in the midst of his daily work sighs and wonders how he will do the extra. And it will end as it has always ended,—in the burning of midnight juice, and the drinking of strong things to keep awake, and the taxing to the limit of reserve strength, in order that the papers may be in on time.
And still, the professor assigns them, but assigns no time to do them, and thinks the students are not treating him fairly when they turn in papers late which have been assigned far ahead. And thinking thus, he marks a grade, but it is not a "one"
HILLTOP PHILOSOPHY
There is nothing more exciting than to try to guess at the charming individuality behind the sole of a number eleven shoe that stares at an opening in the space between the lace curtains of any pari window on Sunday.
The man who can lose his temper over a game of checkers will never pay the grocery bill without a murmur.
The girl who refuses to speak to a little white dog with a friendly red tongue, simply because he is in the company of a strange man, has no more fine feeling than the person who drowns kittens.
Green caps are the latest, but the youth who wears blue socks with white polka dots to match the border of their shirt is setting a pace for Dame Fashion.
The unwise virgin babbles blizzably about her former engagements; the wise girl says she plaintiffly, the wiser girl says and this within earshot of the victim.
Complete absorption is pictured in the man who holds his cup of coffee at a dangerous angle, forgets he has it, and lets it splash noiselessly on the while he gazes in admiration at the pretty girl across the table.
The husband who, after fifty years of silence, suddenly tells his wife that she talks too much, just misses being a hero by a few years.
“Getting the most out of life” can best be demonstrated at this season of the year by the student who at times as if they were strawberries.
The woman who can calmly look at the gray hairs in a comb and remark cheerfully "They are coming out," she screws her face to take a minimum of troubles in life.
Trouble never brews without someone to stir the ingredients.
The secret of the Sphinx is nothing more or less than a concrete expression of the ancients' admiration of the woman who can hold her tongue.

EFFICIENCY
AN ADVANTAGE
"Sure! You have to it to get in a university club." — Cornell Wheatfield
"Do you think that a college edu-
care affords an important adva-
tage训."
Let us have grit for the worst to come.
Love the peace sun's rise, I dare.
Let us have links which as brothers bind
Let us have chance in each loyal soul. Let us have chance for freedom's good. Let us have chance for freedom's good.
Let us have faith in our leaders' aim,
and our warriors' skill.
Men of all races in act and mind,
and the will of nations to defend behind,
and devotion prize.
POET'S CORNER
Let us have vigor to play the game
And our duty fill.
Let us make ready to do our share—
And our fate is what we have.
PETITION
Your service may differ in kind rom that of the less favored man, but it will be in your own best interest.
Today, or perhaps tomorrow—whenever Congress acts in the German situation—will go down in history as a dramatic turning point in American affairs. In this crisis, if it is important that the college men of Germany serve the college men that have been spoken regarding their duty to guide national thought.
But while he has been educated for leadership, the college man has not been educated for a position of privilege. He, like every other man, can expect from his country only what is just recognition for the service he is willing to render. And service is measured with reference to the qualifications which the individual in question has been helped to attain.
Let us suit action to word—Prepare!
(Nor with voice and pen.)
"Wait until you are called for," is the advice of Major General Leonard Wood to all college students who are required to make the matter of enlistment at once.

Let me look at the word again. It's a bit weird.
It looks like "with wine and pet."

THE SITUATION AT MINNESOTA
Minnesota's fraternities are feeling the effects of the war. Nearly all of them have at least a few men enlisted in some service, and while a number of the houses are seriously thinking of closing, many have already joined the armed forces. They've been hit the hardest to date are Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Chi. The Phi Delts have five men in the Marine Corps and nine in the Officers' Reserve Corps. The house has suspended regular weekly meetings in the regular week from now on. There are a few men left who still room at the house.
The Sigma Chi fraternity has only ten out of thirty men left. Seven have left to serve in the Marine Corps; one has enlisted in the navy, six have gone on farms, and one is a member of the Officers' Reserve Corps. The fellows who are left are trying to get some of the alumni to come and stay at the house so that it will not have any trouble finding the number of alumni cannot be obtained no meals will be served in the house, but those who remain will room there.
Many other chapters, both at Minnesota and elsewhere, are in the same print edition.
The Betas have seven men left from a chapter of thirty. Eight are in the Marine Corps, two have left for France, four are in the regular army, one is in the aviation school, and the rest are to go on farms.
OUR CONTRIBUTION
WAIT FOR ARMY ORDERS
"Our Allies are furnishing the men who sacrifice their lives in the conflict. They are the ones who are called upon to undergo the most terrible hardships. They pay the price with their life blood. It is our duty to raise crops and make munitions of war to supply them. It is the least sacrifice that could be asked—Daily Missouri."
“If the United States will furnish us locomotives, cars and munitions we have the men to do the fighting.” So said a Russian official.
"We need food most of all—we are not so much concerned with the sending of United States troops to Iraq, nor with J. Balfour Monday in Washington.
The advice is the logical result of modern methods of fighting. A war at present is largely a contest of two armies of scientists opposing each other. In the long run, brains rather than any other factor decides victory.
College students as a rule are credited with having better developed brains at their age than any other class of people. They have gained such mastery over their brains that they learn more quickly, and have the capability of reasoning out any problem whatever.
Major Wood's advice is a recognition of this ability. In a world war men of this caliber are at a premium. The warring nations have found too late the necessity for trained men of this kind. The war department of the Army is emulating by their experience and is attempting to place them in positions which they are fitted to fill.—Oklahoma Daily News.

NO MORE APPLICATIONS FOR TRAINING CAMPS
Local Office In Charge of Colonel Burkhardt Closed Last Saturday
MEN WILL GET GOOD PAY
Applicants Will be Notified at Once and Should Report This Week
The local office for examining applicants for the Reserve Officers' Training Camp was closed Saturday night after establishing a record in the Central Department for the number of applicants passed. Colonel Samuel Burkhard left this morning for Emporia, leaving Wm. B. Cobb, branch chairman of the Military Training Camp Association, in charge of the remaining work to be done. All the papers of applications have not been sent to the nearest station. The papers of all university men have been sent to Captain O. R. Cole, Indiana Bldg., 12th and Karnas City.
Colonel Burkhardt accepted 269 men from here for the training camp at Fort Riley. The largest number accepted in a single day was on last Saturday, when 81 successfully passed.
CAMPS READY TOMORROW
WILL GET PAY
Colonel H. O. S. Heistand, Department Adjunct, stated this morning that the camps will be ready for occupancy May 8th. Accepted applicants will be admitted on the 8th and up to and including May 14th. The Commanding General at Fort Riley will send to each one of the fortunate 2,500 a postal card instructing him to report. Upon receipt of this postal card the candidate should start for work in the camp, which will be freed from his cover damage to uniform or equipment. It is suggested that each candidate limit his baggage to one small trunk and a handbag or less.
The House and Senate conferences agreed last wek upon a provision allowing regular army pay to officers now commissioned in the Officers' Reserve Corps and $100 a month to others in attendance at the camps.
Each applicant is requested when he reports at the camp to have on his person the duplicate copy of the application to attend the camp furnished him by the examining board, and the postal card sent him by the Camp Commander authorizing him to report at the camp.

A Liberal Education in Geology Students' Hikes
Geology I students took their first field trip Saturday. They surveyed the suburbs of Lawrence, and decided to build a lake like this one it must be a merry life.
WOULD CANCEL ATHLETIC DATES AFTER MAY 15
Then, the trip was so exciting. Perfectly innocent, they trespassed on certain property on the Hill. While they were gaily digging fossils out of the front yard of said property, the lady of the house drove up in her Cadillac and requested them to desist. They desisted.
Besides all that, they got so much valuable experience for war time. They learned how to march at the real army rate. They learned how to cross barb wire entanglementes. They learned how to apply Red Cross training by binding up a wound incurred on the barbed wire. The beginner-geologists will be prepared for active service most any time now.
You see, they learned so much. They studied rocks. They studied fossils. They did not collect fossils, but they collected rocks. Maybe you didn't know it, but in geology, mud is a rock. You saw the back mud, then they brought back. Mud, mud, and then some more mud! The landlands are still sweeping it out, and the students have learned to identify that kind of rock with absolute certainty.

Eighteen Athletes Have Withdrawn to Take Part in War and Hamilton Worries
It is extremely doubtful if the University of Kansas will be able to fill its athletic schedules after May 15 if the present withdrawals of the best athletes to enroll in the Officers' Reserve camp continues. This condition will be advanced further if the National Guard is called out within the next two weeks, which at present seems likely.
Up to the present date, eighteen of K. U's best athletes have either entered some branch of the service or are subject to call within some time this month. Those who have already applied for permission to enter the Officers' Reserve camp at Fort Riley this month are: Bill Weber, Varsity fieldier; Daniel W. Varsity fieldier; Red Craig, star Varsity pitcher; Casey and Small, Varsity weight men, and Welsh, Varsity quarter miler.
Treweeke, star Varsity jumper,
Groene, Varsity two-miler, and Potsy
Clark, assistant athletic coach, also
will go to this camp, as well as Adrian

team last fall. Nielsen, 1917

hurdler and dash man, has applied for a position in the coast artillery. McIlhenny, Varsity infield man, is a member of Company M. Wint Smith, an assistant coach in the high jumper who placed in the Penn games this year, and Chase, Varsity baseball man, will go to the Officers' Reserve camp. Murphy, Varsity half miler, has applied for a position in the aerial corps at Leavenworth.
Coach Hamilton said this mormon, that it was doubtful if the meet with Nebraska would be held or any of the meets after that. It will all depend upon what happens between now and then, he said. Kansas men who were there in May have last month feel it is no honor to win in a meet now that so many of the star athletes have enlisted in some service for the country.
The smaller schools of Classes B and C bested the larger ones of Class A in most events. Class B excelled in the 100 and 220 dazes, 220-yard hurdles, pole vault, and broad jump. Class C made the best records in the 120 yard hurdles, jump, and discus. Classes B and C tied in 120-yard hurdle records, and Class A was best in only two events, the quarter mile and the shot put.
Yimminy, what a yump! J. V. Wright, the colored bumper from Baldwin, leaped into the lime-light Saturday when he covered 21 $8\%$ inches, within four inches of the record. He is a cousin of Wright, holder of the K. U. interscholastic record.

H. S. ATHLETES FAIL TO SET NEW RECORDS
Wet Track Responsible for Slow Time in Most Events Saturday
Saturday
Retarded by a wet track, 190 Kansas high school athletes failed to break a single record on McCook Field Saturday. It was the fourteenth annual interscholastic rack and field meet of the university of Kansas. Wichita, Pratt, Otto and the regular schools in Classes A, B, and C, respectively.
Individual cups went to the following:
Class A, Tom Neely, Abilene's
Class B, Michael Horn, Evans,
Osage City, 15 points; Class C,
Charles Leslie, St. Johns.
One record was equaled by John Evans of Osage City, who ran the 100-yard dash in 10.1-5 seconds. On the kick he might have shortened the time.
"Considering the weather and the war, the meet was very successful," said W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics, this morning. "The track was slow and heavy, and some of the high school athletes came with scarcely any training because of abnormal war conditions. Even at that, the meet brought forth many stars whom K. U. might well be proud.
"To show how close we kept to the complicated plans by which we handled almost two hundred athletes, we had planned to schedule for 5:40, was fired at 5:41."

SPORT BEAMS
The three run-like boys—ever see 'em? They were at the high school track meet here Saturday. One is from Abellone, one from Osage City, and one from St. Johns. Their names are Neely, Evans, and Leslie. Each got a cup for running at the head of the race because being the known A, B, and C. Each won first place in three dash events, and in each case it was the 50, 100, and 220. Can you beat it? Verly, Ringling's couldn't compete.
Endurance is James Bradshaw's middle name. James comes from K. C. K. to the high school meet, runs off a few more damses including the half mile and places in each, and then plays four matches in the tennis tournament, placing in the finals. And all this in one brief but brisk
afternoon. Home, James, and a good night's sleep!
The McKown Brothers of Pratt have lofty aims. Pole vaulting is their hobby. At the h. **me** meet Saturday they tied at eleven-feet-two, and then Earl raised it "half an inch upward." This Class B mark was twenty inches higher than the Class A record. Ray McKown is only a freshman in Pratt H. S. K. U. expects every McKown to do his duty!
K. U. BASEBALL TEAM MEETS ITS FIRST DEFEAT
State Normal·Nine Carries Off Victory to the Tune of
6 to 3
The Jayhawk baseball nine met its first defeat of the season Saturday it Emporia by the Kansas Normals, it Emporia by the Oklahoma Normals did not make an earned run.
"We put it on a platter and handed it to them," it the way Captain Smee summed up the game. The Jayhawkers connected for eight hits off the bench, but they didn't hold the Teachers to but three hits, and they were scattered.
Although the squad already has lost some valuable players who could have made K'is if they remained on the squad, and is likely to lose still more of the best players, the Jayhawkers will try to finish the season as well as possible, according to Captain Smee. The hopes for a Valley championship this year are receding as the squad continues to dwindle.
The only reason for the unexpected outcome of the game, according to the K. U. captain, is that the Jayhawker squad has not been able to practice for more than a week because of wet weather which put McCook and Hamilton Fields in unstable condition. The rain has fallen at Emporia and Coach Bill Hargis's proteges have had regular practices.
The Kansas lineup against the Normals Saturday was the same used in the Nebraska game here: Carter, c; Poirier, p; Chase, l1; Shoelfeld, 2b; McHenny, 3b; Pratt, ss; Captain, c; Pratt, ss. The next game on the Kansas schedule is with the Tigers on McCook Field, Thursday and Friday.

Jayhawkers Won 11 Firsts and 6 Seconds; Farmers Took 3 Firsts and 7 Seconds
Kansas won an easy track victory over the Kansas Aggies on a muddy track Friday 73 to 36. Neither team presented their full strength, both having lost men by their entrance into government service. Both teams were handicapped by lack of training by rainy weather.
HOTEL KUPPER
The Jayhawkers won eleven firsts and six seconds, while the Farmers won only three firsts and seven seconds. Kansas cleaned up in the high jump, broad jump, quarter and half. Washington had won both places in the high, hurdles and the score stood 29 to 19 in favor of K. U. did the Manhattan school appear to have a chance to win the meet. After that Kansas graduated away and the meet became only a matter of how large the score would be.
In the high hurdles, Uhlrau, running his first race for the Kansas Varsity, and Casey were beaten out of places by Beatty and Wilder of the Aggies. Beatty last year was a star in the Aggie high school and this was

In the broad jump, Johnson, competition for the first time for Kansas, won first with a leap of 21 feet 10 inches. Coach Hamilton was well pleased with the showing made by Johnson. He should be able to beat Simpson in the Missouri meet Saturday if he is able to do as well as he did on the play. Finally, the practice. Ziegler, another man competing for the first time, won first in the discus with a fine hurl of 118 feet 9 inches.
Rice and Miller stopped for want of competition in the high jump at 5 feet 6 inches. Billings, of the Agries, was better than Ziegler, Casey, or Woodward in the shot. Casey winning a clean sweep in the quarter OLeary made a clean sweep in the quarter OLeary making fast time considering the track. 53 4-5.

Seniors Are Favorites in Annual Spring Interclass Track Meet On McCook Field
Sproul both ran good_races and increased the lead.
Paul O'Leary, brother of Dummy O'Leary, dashed off a neat dash for Lawrence high. He won fourth in the 100 against such stars as Neely of Abilene and Bradshaw of K. C. K.
CLASSES COMPETE TODAY
The annual spring interclass track met is being held this afternoon on McCook Field. There will probably be no records broken because few of the men have had a chance to get any real training for the last two weeks. The muddy track also will slow the time in the track events.
The meet appears to be a $n$ toss-up between the seniors and the freshmen with odds in favor of the seniors because of the large number of Varsity track men who are seniors. The best opportunity for new men and freshmen seems to be in the field events and hurdles.
William Shroeder, a senior from Alma, is a promising dash man. He won first in the low hurdles in Class C, and likely would have won the 50-yard dash if his school had not saved him. He scored 70-63. Shroeder has a 50-dash record of 5-2 5-seconds, a fifth better than the K. U. interscholastic mark.
A large percentage of the veterans in the meet this afternoon are either distance man but a few ard dash men. They will have more than their share of dash men meet, with Grissom, Haddock, and Schwartz. The meet today will serve as a sort of a try-out for Varsity men in the Missouri meet May 12.
Coffin, of Oread Training H. S., sounded a death-knell to all competitors when he tore off the half mile in 2:05 4:5 and won. He was four seconds ahead of the best half milers in Classes A and B.
Evans of Osage and Neely of Abilene can run the hundred meters on high without changing gears. The former made it Saturday in 10 1-5 on a heavy track, and the latter in 10 3-5. Both are seniors.
The annual Kansas-Missouri tennis tournament will be held in Columbia this week. The strength of Missouri team is unknown on account of bad training, and the Missouri men have had to contend, the Tiger K. U. tennis stars. The Tiger school this year has some new courts which have been delayed in their completion.

KANSAS GRAIN FOR FOOD BUT NOT FOR BOOZE
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 8, 1017.
Dean Olin Templin Asks Senator Curtis Not to Protect Liquor Interests
SPEAKS WELL OF KANSAS
Greatest Prohibition State Will Not Raise Grain to Fill Beer Vats
Condensation of the present course of Congress in placing higher taxation on intoxicating liquors and thereby guaranteeing the safety of the liquor business, was voiced by Dean Olin Templin, of the College, this morning in a letter to Senator Charles Curtis.
He calls attention to the fact that thousands of men and even women are leaving the universities and colleges of the country to work on the farm. Many of these students are giving up their college careers in order to keep the world from starving. He says "the only way to survive is the call of humanity and yet the brewers are permitted to continue wasting the huge grain crop of the country."
May 8, 1917,
Senator Charles Curtis,
Washington, D. C.
All over this country for weeks the deans of colleges and universities have young women, to go back to the farm threatening starvation. The situation has been accepted, as it has been reported, as extremely serious, and it has required by these thousands of young folks to be buried by these thousands of young folks who have made them. They are abandoning many forms of education and the increased usefulness and happiness which it would have brought them. The training they needed in the task in reconstructing a normal and paried society after this terrible prophecy properly, in order that the people might
His letter follows:
Each day that this has gone on the brewers and distillers have poured good grain into their vats. It is not unusual to see these young people will result in a product equal to that consumer regaining liquors. Worse than that, the time it takes for the distilled beverage to all those students can number is far greater than any sary business. We have plead with Congress to put an end to this cruel practice, the distiller's proposal to pay a tax on the distilled beverage that
Now I want to tell you that I can never unpredictably move more unpandemic danger than this. The people will not understand your constituent in Kansas are liable your constituent in Kansas are liable matter. They not only expect each other to behave differently in their duty—they are in danger of expecting it all too.
I am making this statement in the name of the thousands of young people who inhabit humanity, but who resent the continuity of a nonuseless system. Will you be so confident in your form of explanation, possibly intelligible in Washington, which I can understand?

PROF. DAVIS IS GRANTED
LEAVE TO GO TO FT. RILEY
Prof. W. W. Davis, of the department of history, has been granted a leave of absence by the Board of Administration through Chancellor Strong and will leave soon for the Officers' Reserve Training Camp at Fort Riley. Professor Davis said this morning he expected to meet with students now and the fourteenth of this month. He has as yet received no definite instructions.
MID-WEEK DANCE FOR CO. M
Mr. Davis' classes in history will be discontinued, but the finals will be given the last week by members of the department of history.
An authorized benefit dance will be given tomorrow night in Robinson Gymnasium.
The University War Committee with the aid of the Women's Student Government Association, Men's Student Council and the Kansan are raising a war fund of $500 to be used as a company fund for Company M. The authorities have given their consent for a mid week dance because they are not willing that Company M—our company—shall suffer because of insufficient supplies and inadequate medical aid.
Do you, students and faculty of the University of Kansas, want the men who have voluntarily offered their services and perhaps their lives to their country to suffer because you would not contribute your share to the company fund?
Many demands have been made upon the faculty and students, but isn't this a time when those who remain at home must sacrifice if they are going to serve their country?
If you honor the University men who with sane determination and calm patriotism have joined the nation's forces and of course you do—make your date tonight for the authorized mid week dance even if you'll have to do without those eclaims and even if you have to burn the midnight wire in order to bone for the quiz next day. With your help Company M will be as well equipped as other companies.
Of course you'll be at the dance.
GREEKS WON'T MEET GREEKS
Fear of Defeat by Younger Frats Causes Veterans of Council to Cancel Schedule
There will be no more games in the Pan-Hellenic baseball league. At a meeting of the Pan-Hellenic council yesterday morning at the Sigma Chi ballroom a motion was passed canceling the remainder of the Greek baseball schedule.
Unstable conditions and the depletion of frat teams by withdrawals were assigned as reasons for the action but at the bottom of the affair were responsible for the older members of the Council have, for some of their younger associates.
Today there is considerable talk of calling another meeting of the Pan-Hellenic to reconsider their action. It is stated by the couches that the team is prepared, especially baseball and track would do more harm than good to the men.
Chancellor Frank Strong returned yesterday afternoon from Washington, D. C., where he attended the meeting of the National Defense Council in conjunction with the meeting of the League of University Presidents. He left early this morning for Topeka to attend a meeting of the Kansas branch of the Defense Council.

JULY SUNLIGHT HEATS WRITER'S IMAGINATION
Then is the Time When the Best Humorous Paragraphs Appear in the Papers
"Folks work better in summer than in winter," is the perfectly sincere statement of E. E. Kelley, who is not an advance agent for the summer and whose fellow Republican" who is lecturing to journalism classes today. He believes in summer school and has noticed that hot weather stimulates mental processes particularly in connection with writing, for he says that there is more snap in the paragrapher's mind in August than at any other time.
Mir. Kelley writes the editoria,
paragraphs for the Republican, and
his daughter sets the type. The rest
of the family help get out the
paper, and that is why the Republican
is listed in the "Newspaper Guide"
as published by the Kelleys. The
editor is raising a whole family of
newspaper people, and one of his
sons already owns a paper of his own.
It was purely an accident, however, that Mr. Kelley himself entered the field of journalism. Until he was forty years old he had never written anything. He taught mathematics and public school while intending of schools. Then suddenly he began to have ideas for stories, stories which he wrote and sold to Harpers and McClures. After this success he was ready to try running a country newspaper as soon as he found a good opening. His work was published in newspapers famous at present for the humorous paragraphs on his editorial page.
"It's easy enough to write them," he says. "I just go down to what we call the 'never-sweat bench' on the shady side of the National Bank and listen to the old boys talk. In half an hour I've heard enough wit and humor and philosophy to fill a column. Then I go back to the office and write it and attribute it to my Uniele like back in Indiana and print the story. It's the easiest thing in the world to do, especially in summer."

DANCE AND HELP MEN OF K. U. COMPANY M!!
Students Are Asked to do Their Share in Raising $500 War Fund
COUNCIL TO GIVE PARTY
Entertainment Will be in Robinson Gym Tomorrow Night —Shofstall to Play
"Shofstall will furnish the music and everything is arranged. The proceeds will go entirely to the fund that supports the university men who will soon be called into camp life," said Walter Havelkorset, president of the Men's Student Council this morning. "The men of the University are urged to make sure they raise the fund, and yet get the full returns for their money."
A dance will be given tomorrow night at Robinson Gymnasium for the benefit of the fund being raised for Company M. The date rule has been suspended for the dance and students may enjoy the party while at the same time they will be giving money to make the camp life of Company M, the University company of the National guard, more pleasant.
MUST RAISE $500
A 'und of $500 is being raised by the Student Council, the Women's Student Government Association, the Kansan, and Registrar George O. Foster. The all-University dance was announced for Friday night, but the date was changed to Wednesday and the date rule is suspended.
This fund was recently authorized by the War Bureau of the University to supply the needs of Company M. The demands on the government in the war have made it impossible that it will be impossible to furnish more than the bare necessities for camp life. Experience has shown that an emergency fund should be kept by each company. The men in it may need the assistance of the student body and it is necessary the students and faculty who stay behind help out.
BUY COTS AND BLANKETS
BUY COTS AND BLANKETS
Cots and blankets should be provided for the company. In case of sickness the men run the risk of injury. If a blanket is not a company fund. No athletic goods or other conveniences can be taken with the company if money is not provided for excess bargage.
Last summer athletic goods and a phonograph were bought and sent to the Lawrence companies at the border by the downtown merchants. This equipment proved to be a constant source of amusement and entertainment at the camp when there was little else to break the monotony.
SENIOR LAWS WILL TRAIN
Students To Take Bar Examination Before Entering Camp at Fort Rilev

All but two of the number will take examination for admission to the State Bar at Topeka Thursday, May 10. They will be admitted to the state bar without a diploma if they pass the examination and present a certificate from the faculty recommending them for a degree.
The following will take examinations: George H. Beach, Harold F. Mattoon, Ivan A. Allen, Ralph R. Rader, L. Maynard Egann, Vernon J. Bowersock, Clifford W. Baldwin, Joe E. Gaitskill, Paul H. Friend, Aaron L. Piepburge, H. L. Miller, John P. Flinn, Ernest E. Blincoe, G. N. Murphy, A. Greewer, G. B. Mitchell, A. Hattier, Marcel M. Garland, M. Laken, Baker, E. Smith, Paul H. Sautter, O. H. Dittmer, A. B. Burch, W. J. Weber, John A. McLoughlin, andralp D. Sproull, Dick Small will take examination for the Missouri Bar and Kenneth H. Lett for the Oklahoma Bar.
"More than half of the senior law class has withdrawn to serve their country," said Uncle Jimmy this morning, "and it certainly cannot be said that they are not awake to the solemnity of the present situation."

"If the principles of contentment are not within him, the height of worldly station will as soon add a cubit to a stature as to his happiness." - Sterne.
ONE MORE CHANCE
At the last symphony concert only twenty-five per cent of the audience was composed of University students including students from Fine Arts. In other universities the students make up the larger part of the audience.
Does it mean that K. U. students can not or will not appreciate good music?
Most laymen—and some musicians—do not realize what a great gulf separates the work of the orchestra musician who plays in a theatre orchestra and one who plays in a symphony orchestra. In the theater, there is required the ability to read at sight all kinds of manuscript and to make a noise regardless of the niceties of tone.
in the symphony orchestra it is the tone that counts. Everything has to be balanced, the quality and shading of tone, sometimes one little passage gone over and over, until each accent, each gradation of sound is as it should; in other words, until all the musicians play as one man would had he one hundred and twenty hands and the brain to grasp simultaneously the details of all the parts played by various instruments.
The present state of efficiency of the St. Louis Symphony represents an investment of over a million dollars and years and years of work in the ensemble. The pleasure and spiritual uplift derived from listening to the works of masters expressed through the medium of such an orchestra as the St. Louis Symphony, which will appear in a concert in Robinson Gymnasium Thursday afternoon, is an opportunity one does not have every day.
Some students are slow in finding out that it takes more than a studious look in class to pull down good grades.
LAX BUSINESS METHODS
There seems to have been a tendency among some students who have been managing student affairs not to observe business-like methods in setting up the accounts of affairs of organizations.
laxness in business methods seems to be characteristic in some of the managers and officers in the largest student affairs on down to some of the smallest student organizations. It is much easier to follow the line of least resistance and let bills go unsettled or reports unmade until the day comes when a final reckoning must be made. Then it is, that the line of least resistance terminates into a sea of difficulty from which there seems to be no outlet.
In the end, more time is spent in trying to make the accounts balance than if it were done at first; persons owe become impatient and friends lose confidence in the slack manager. Every one knows in what predicaments such methods result.
The old adage that anything worth doing at all it worth doing well applies to the work of managers and treasurers of student organizations as well as to other things.
It not only reflects upon the character of the manager or treasurer if student affairs are not carried on in a business-like manner, but reflects upon the class, the organization and the University.
If any office is worthy of one's time at all, it is worthy of one's best efforts.
Be business-like in all that you do—no matter how small the matter.
The west has worn its patriotism like Lord Dunsany's beggars wore the strips of green cloth which marked them as gods. It has been covered over, the east has said, with the rags of materialism and self-interest, and the east, seeing the patriotism showing through, knew not what it was. But now that the time of real test is come the materialism and self-seeking is falling away and the patriotism of the west is appearing in its pure color. And every one is recognizing it for what it is.
If one will observe the readers in Spooner library marking books which are not their own, or carelessly tearing a page or turning down the corner of a leaf, he is inclined to think that they have but little real association with books.
The university student who does not "conserve and save" is a "slacker" just as much as the young man who hurried to the marriage license office.

I understand that commencement is to be made as simple as possible this year on account of the war, but is that any reason why it should not be an unusually impressive commencement?
It has not been customary for the faculty of the University to wear capes and gowns on the day of commencement, but why not start the practice now? This is the custom in nearly all eastern schools and in many schools of less importance than our University. In such schools rules forcing them to wear their graduation exercises are not passed; they are not needed, for commencement means something to them and they want to stay for it.
We hear seniors here complaining because they are compelled to stay. They say, "Why do we have to stick around here just to get that roll of paper? It doesn't mean anything." That is just it, it doesn't mean anything to them. But it would mean a great deal to them if every one knew what to wear, why, and I think it would help to create the proper atmosphere if the faculty would appear in their caps and gowns. We hear that K. U. lacks tradition. Why not make an impressive commencement a tradition here?
We honor her for keeping cheerful and loyal—Knox student.
COLLEGES IN WAR
THE SITUATION AT CALIFORNl
L. H.
Preparedness will be a feature of the summer session at the University of California and a special intercession will be held between the regular and the summer session. This intercession will begin May 21 and last until June 23. It will offer courses in public/libraries, pair, telegraphy, telephony, wireless, field cookery, home nursing and dietetics, and will include only those courses which will fit men and women for the emergency of war.
The three agricultural fraternities—Alpha Gamma Rho, Alpha Zeta and Delta Theta Sigma—at the University of Ohio have found it necessary to make a strong commitment to the entire membership of each chapter has withdrawn from school.
AGGIES LEAVE SCHOOL
Did you ever stop and think of the college girl's situation in this war? She has just about as many notions on the situation as the average fellow has and perhaps a little finer type of idealism, but how can she express herself? It must be hard these times to be rotted off to dates on the farm, or in the ranks or the training camp, but with the exception of a few hard-fought-for places in Red Cross ambulance units, the woman has little work worthy of her mettle. Her education is liable to be hindered and she shall first suffer from strenuous travel to all it yet that can she do so to scavenge or fold cheese-cloth as any eight-year-old or any Slavic peasant woman could do, or else teach others as impetuous as she to clip and sew until their heads ache.
"We will have only two men," said a member of Alpha Gamma Rho last night, "and they are here because they haven't a farm to go back to." The other two fraternities reported that they would each have four men left.
CONSIDER THE CO-ED

Nine hundred students drill at the University of Michigan. The engineers will have a fife and drum corps of twenty-two pieces.
Fredrick Paul Kessel, dean of Columbia College, has left the university to assist in the administrative offices of the War Department. He has been granted a leave of absence for the present year and will probably not resume his university activities until after the war.
Medical students should do everything in their power to prepare for government service, according to the National Guard's national defense in the Yale News.
Pre-medics should enroll in the medical school at once so they will be fit to serve their country in the field hospitals.
Trenches have been constructed by the military engineers of the University of Iowa for the use of the cadet corps. Three hundred feet of narrow pits have been dug to a depth of three and a half feet. The plan was laid out by a sergeant of the regular army.
PATRIOTIC FARMERS
One hundred students have withdrawn from the University of Illinois for the purpose of becoming farmers. He has withdrawn to become a soldier.
The first University woman to be called into federal service for war is Miss Carmen Swanson of the University of Oregon, a member of the senior class and student assistant in the Army. The woman expected to leave Monday for Bremerton, Wash., where she will do stenographic gr some form of office work for the navy. Miss Swanson volunteered as a youmom time ago when he was called until summer. Last week word came that she was needed.
Since the outbreak of the war with Germany, the Daily has advised that DePauw men wait before enlisting. The authorities have decided decisions and frenzied judgments.
HAS TIME FOR ACTION COME?
Emotional and hasty acts will continue to meet with the paper's opposition. Nevertheless, it is indeed questionable if the time has not come for DePauw men to act—at least in one way.
The government has issued its first call for officers—men who will train the first 500,000 troops to be raised. This call is directed especially to the college men. Whether DePauw men should or can afford to ignore this rule is up to each student should decide for himself, after careful, calm deliberation.
Certainly no man can make a mistake by consulting with Dr. E. Hawkith.
CLASS SAYS "HERE"
CLASS SAYS "HERE
FOR ABSENT NAMES
The attendance record of the men who have enlisted from the school of journalism and left for "somewhere in America" may be better with them than it is when a deox is due to the fact that Dean Stone of the journalism department has asked the classes to answer "present" for their "departed brothers" when the roll is called. This is one of the old tradition of the French army.
The custom was put into practice for the first time this morning when Dean Stone called "Mr. Savage" and the class, when it finally realized what was expected of it, enthusiastically responded "Present!" Eugene Savage is with the medical corps of the State Militia - Kaimin.

All that is necessary to get the library material is to send the subject and the amount wanted. If there are any books on the subject in the University libraries or if any of the recent magazines have topics on it, the cost is lower than for books without the references are necessary and the cost is only the postage.

JOURNALISM PRESS IS REAL SERVICE TO K. U.
Besides Printing Kansan the Department Issues Five Magazines for University
Who prints the KANSAN? You don't know? Well, suppose you make a little visit to the basement of the Medic Building, continue your tour past the raw news material being made into finished news by the click-call press. "Journalism Press," "Journalism Press, W. H. Brown, Superintendent." Here, W. H. will find the machinery that gives the "color" to the Kansan. But you ask, "Is that all the work the Journalism Press does?" Ordinarily you might think that would be enough, but the printing of the Kansan constitutes less than $1,000 worth of plain white print paper is consumed annually, and the cost of this paper has doubled in two years.
Nor is that all, for the press prints,

THE STATE HANDLER
The financial part of the Journalism Press Conference by the director, who is the head of the department of journalism. Books are kept here and in Topeka. All money received for work done is turned into the state treasury. Salaries of employees of the plant are paid out of this fund. Any money above expenses is used to further equip the plant. During the four years in which Mr. Kroger has worked approximately $5,000 has been expended for added equipment, and now the plant have equipment valued at $25,000.
In commenting upon the work of the plant yesterday afternoon, Superintendent Brown said the publications put out by the plant have, as a whole, increased noticeably, both in number and in value. Such increase has been in the face of rising prices for paper and other materials.
STATE HANDLES MONEY
Superintendent Brown said, in regard to the employees of the school, that his helpful help for
the operation of our press and education in practical printing problems is the point we emphasize. However, we have to employ some experienced labor, and to obtain it we have to compete with the strongest plants. The present year has been the best for the plant since I have been here."

SENIORS ARE FIRST IN ANNUAL SPRING MEET
Ospomores Second, Freshmer Third and Juniors Fourth in Interclass Contest
HADDOCK POINT WINNER
Fred Rodkey broke the K. U. record in the half making the distance in 1:58 3.5. The old record of 1:58 4-5 was made by Rodley last year in the Missouri-Kansas indoor meet. The seniors counted up their big total by having one or more Varsity men in practically every event. In the mile they had four men entered and all placed.
Fred Rodkey Breaks Former Half Mile Record With 1:58 3-5 Run
The seniors won the annual spring interclass meet yesterday afternoon on McCook Field with 55 points. The sophomores upset the doy by winning second place with 42 points, the juniors scoring 37 points, and the funniers 20.
Haddock took the 100-yard dash in 10 1-5, which is remarkable time considering the hard track. Seward capped the high hurdles easily and Ralph Rodkey, Fred's brother, had second place till the first lap. Fred Rodkey let brother beat him in the quarter and saved up for the half.
Haddock, a freshman, was individual point winner with 14 points, while Casey, a sophomore, was second with 13 points.
Preliminaries were run off in the 220-yard dash and Haddock won the finals in 22 3-5 seconds. This is within 2-5 of a second of the Kansas record made by Haddock's brother in 1910. Pattinson made 11 feet 6 inches in the pole vault and tried for 12 feet but failed to break the record.
The javelin was one of the events on the program for the first time in any of the class meets. Haddock, who has been doing remarkable throwing with the discus made some good throws but stepped out of the ring. Gleigler, a junior, won first and Had. dock placed third.

The Jayhawker nine will hold together as long as it possibly can, according to Captain George Smee. A great deal of the talk circulating on the Hill about calling off all athletic contests in a certain set date is all bunk, he says. Several of the playwrights have our intention of taking the training at Ft. Riley but it is probable that a few or more of these men will remain in school. Besides a few may not be able to pass the rigid physical examination.

The Hash House league seems to be "blowed up." Enton Williams, chairman of the organization, withdrawn from school and it is up to the managers of the different
teams to schedule the game when rain or inclement weather makes it impossible to play the games on scheduled teams; these games have two more games to play each.
--have to run a fast mile to beat him in the coming meet.
The next big event in women's athletics will be an interclass tennis tournament. A baseball tournament will also be played but the most interest is centering in the tennis tournament. A large number of entries have already registered and more new ones are being recruited. Hazel Pratt is looking for a record breaking number to come out to make the different class teams.
TIGERS OPEN SERIES HERE
McCarty Hopes to Defeat M. U. Nin in the Next Conference Games Thursday and Friday
Thursday and Friday
The next baseball games on the Kansas schedule will be played Thursday and Friday afternoons on McCook Field when the Tigers will clash with Coach McCarty's professional team. The Tigers have lost a Missouri Valley Conference game this season, but the Jayhawkers have played but one conference game with Nebraska, while the Tigers have played a half dozen or so games against that the Cyclones and the Aggries; that the done favors the Tigers.
Kansas is still in the race for the valley championship, however, although Adrian Lindsay, the slugging second baseman, and several other candidates for the team have enlisted for military services. Coupled with the slugging ability of the Jayhawkers will be the old time rivalry between them and the Warriors. The team has proven that they also have a slugging bunch this season.
Kansas will rely to a great extent for a victory over the Tigers on the pitching ability of the three veteran pitchers of last year - Poirier, Craig, and Captain Smee. All three men have been working out, for an emergence and the fans will likely see a pitcher's battle when the two teams meet.
The Jayhawker squad held its regular practice yesterday afternoon on McCook Field and spent most of the time in batting practice. Lefty Anthony, who regularly fooled one of the batters, but most of the time the sluggers connected for long drives. Joe Pratt, predicted by some of the baseball followers as another Woody, showed up exceptionally with the bat. He has succeeded in getting a hit in every game so far, except at the Nebraska game.
Captain Smee said the squad would likely hold practice every day. The May Fete will be held on McCook
Get a date for the Company M Fund Dance for tomorrow night.
You will only be relieved of 75c when you get to the Gym and you will have the pleasure of doing your six bits.
The date rule has been declared off by the W. S. G. A. and good music has been arranged for, so go get her at the regulation time and let her know that you are doing your share to help the University raise that $500 for its own company.
Field today so the squad will practice on Hamilton Field.
WAR HINDERS OUTDOOR JAYHAWK-TIGER MEET
Both Teams Will be Crippled by the Loss of Men Through
Enlistment
The annual Kansas-Missouri outdoor meet will be on McCook Field Saturday afternoon. The Tigers will be crippled by the loss of Warren and Berry two Varsity men in the weights Gableman in the mile, and Wyatt in the quarter, all of whom have gone to college. The hawkeyes will be handicapped by the absence of Treweke in the high and broad jump.
There is a possibility that Small and Rinker may not be able to compete for Kansas. Neither of these men were in the Aggie meet and have not been given the chance to play Groene, Rice, and Welsh, may not get into the meet because of the chance of being called to Ft. Riley before Saturday. This would leave a big hole in the K. U. team, but probably the will be allowed to remain for the meet.
Saturday Missouri won from Ames 80 to 47 in a dual meet. Ames was not able to put up much of a fight because of the loss of several sure point winners. Simpson scored only 23 points for his team. He was not allowed to run in the mile relay, however. Duncan is said to have made remarkable time in the mile, doing the distance in 4:29 2-5. Sproill will
Missouri did not show up _ well in the half, two mile, discus, shot, high jump, or pole vault. Simpson went 22 feet in the broad jump and Robert was in a crippled condition. John was there and probably will meet and will probably give Simpson plenty of competition if he shows any improvement this week.
John M. Shea, upon being asked what he intended to eliminate dandelions on the campus said, "Well, we are going to try a new experiment."
"JUST LET THE DANDELIONS GET TIRED AND DIE"—SHI
"What are you going to do? Burn em?" he was asked.
"No." Shea replied, "We are just going to let them grow until they get tired of themselves and die out."
"Daddy" Sayre Day Program Today is Daddy Sayre day. This afternoon the Pharmics were given a half holiday and a baseball game was played between the Juniors and Seniors of the School of Pharmacy. A banquet will be given at the Eldridge House this evening.

STYLE-and what is BENEATH
Underlying the surface look of a garment are the things that determine its stamina—its staunchness—its serviceableness.
For if a suit is cankered with weak spots inside they will eat their way outside at the first sign of rigorous wear. A suit that is 90 percent genuine and 10 percent imitation soon looks 90 percent imitation and 10 percent genuine.
No man ever received satisfactory wear from a garment that did not contain these essentials: an all-wool fabric thoroughly shrunk by the London cold water process—and not by the first rain in which the wearer is caught.
—genuine linen canvas and not a cheap cotton or burlap substitute.
—sewing at all points of strain done painstakingly by hand with silk thread—and not weak, unsightly cotton.
For the man who wants to be sure that there is not a detail in the whole suit where a cheating makeshift is tolerated—whether he pays $15.00—$16.50—$20.00—$25.00 or as high as $50.00 there is one absolute safeguard.
It is the Kirschbaum label.
Hints on the Choice of Clothes
A point or two for you young men to keep in mind in selecting a spring suit:
The coat should fit closely so that in buttoning the middle (or top) button it is necessary to force the garment just a trifle, thus accentuating the waist line.
The correct coat collar this year sits rather flatly about the neck.
The old high-standing effect in the collar is passe.
The length of the trousers should be just enough to hang clear of the shoes without breaking—with the bottoms absolutely straight, and not hollowed above the instep in front. By The Spectator.

NUMBER 149.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 9, 1917.
Aroused by Reports of Lax Methods Registrar Takes Stringent Measures
I am directed to request you to file at the Registrar's office at once all records covering cash received by you, with complete record of disposition of said cash, with statement of any balance in your hands. This includes an itemized record of all cash received, with receipt stubs showing receipts in all cases paid out, or all cash paid out, or cancelled checks covering bills, books in which record has been kept, and any other data that may be of service in auditing accounts. George O. Foster, Registrar.
George O. Foster, Registrar.
This includes all classes, schools, Men's Student Council, W. S. G. A., Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., Athletic associations, Junior Prom, Sophomore Hop, Law Scrim, dances, parties, May Fete, Polllies, Dramatic Clubs, and other other organization or individual or committee that has in any way handled cash contributed by or collected from students of the University.
NO PERSONAL REFLECTION
Aroused by rumors of lax business methods followed in the management of certain recent student enterprises the University business office in charge of Registrar Foster has called for a reckoning with all students or organizations which handle student funds.
Strict Accounting Methods Wil Protect Students Who Handle Organization Funds
Notice to all Organizations or individuals handling University student funds;
The University Senate has had a ruling for several year's which requires all such persons or organizations to be furnished them free by the University. Every year the keeping of these books has become more neglected, and this year less than a half percent of any accounts that can be audited
The University and Student Council rulings require that an accounting must be made for each party, club meeting and the like where student funds are handled. If followed out to the letter this plan would do away with the need to select which are always claimed for party managers and committee chairmen.
CAN ENFORCE REGULATIONS
versity to enforce these regulations by withholding credit or degrees, and such a course may be followed if student accounts are not turned in promptly. In speaking of the matter this morning Registrar Foster said: "An audit of student accounts is not a reflection on character—it is a protection to the student who handles the account." He said he would make an effort to have whatever books he is to keep carefully audited." It is the ruling of the University that all these accounts be audited, and the statement at the head of this story is intended for a definite accounting within the week.
Registrar Foster refused to make any statement about the accounts printed in the city papers and the accounts kept by the managers of the Soph Hop.
"I do not know whether it would cost 64.8 cents a plate to serve ice cream, cake and coffee. I have no complaints to make. When we get the receipt stubs, checks and received bills we will know more what to say. Such an account as appeared in the papers could in no way be audited."
Mr. Foster is urgent in his request that the various student organizations which handle student money should take care to turn them over to him for auditing. Past experience has shown that a large number have always failed to comply with the request of the business office. It is probable, however, that this year in forcing an audit of the accounts of student organizations.
"It is getting late in the year," said M. Foster, "and we must have an accounting of these things at once. If the accounts have not been settled, the University we will want to see and check over the books that have been kept, together with receipts, receipt stubs, and cancelled checks.
WOULD VINDICATE STUDENTS
"If there has been any grafting
in the room we want to find out where
it is a stop. We are not here and
are false we want to vindicate the
who are responsible, and who are
being talked about over the hill."
K. U. GRADUATE APPOINTED ASSISTANT AT K. S. A.
J. B. Rogers, a graduate of the University of Kansas in 1916, has been appointed assistant in the department of zoology at the Kansas State Agricultural College to fill the position made vacant by the resignation of L. P. Wereh, who goes to Cornell University.
Mr. Rogers has been doing research work in the department of zoology at K. U. since graduation. He is a member of the Phi Beta Kappa honorary fraternity and was highly recommended to the Aggie school.
MAY TEACH MILITARY DRILL AT UNIVERSITY
Plan Would Make It Possible to Carry on School Work— Action Later
There is some agitation at present among the faculty and student body to institute compulsory military training. Most of the men who are physically able to drill.
A few of the prominent faculty members and students are urging the Compulsory Training program as one solution as to how students may remain at their studies and still receive the essentials of military drill.
No definite plan has been evolved yet although there has been several suggestions as to how and whencomputer should be started at the University.
It is probable that there will be considerable discussion of this subject among both the faculty and students in the next few months.
"I believe now as I always have believed," said Captain Jones of Company M when asked his views on this subject, "that compulsory military training should be established in every college institution in the country."
He said the war department would furnish a regular army officer to drill the students if enough men sign up for the regular drill work. He added, however it probably would not be possible to secure an army officer right now as all officers will be needed at the Officers' Training Camps over the country. The best contingent of officers are trained it may be that an officer would be sent here.
Dean P. F. Walker, of the School of Engineering, also expressed himself in favor of compulsory military training for the University. He is going to Ft. Riley for the Officers training and will see new days, however, and said he would not be able to do much towards securing compulsory training for K. U.
"I am surely in favor of compulsory military training for the University next fall or for the duration of the war," is the way Dean Walker sums up the lessons on the subject. He believes that the students should be instituted as a part of the University curriculum, and that every able-bodied man should drill one hour each day. According to his views, the board of administration must in many cases an expert in military training charge of the drills and give the students the essentials of military tactics.
PHARMICS HONOR SAYRE
Annual Half-Holiday Celebrated Yesterday With Baseball Game and Banquet
and Banquet
Yesterday afternoon was "Daddy"
Sayre day in the School of Pharmacy.
This half holiday has always been
given to this department, but has
been known as "Daddy" Sayre day
only for the last two years.
Unsettled weather tonight and Thursday. Probably rain in west and central portions. Not much change in temperature tonight.
Although the attendance at the banquet was unusually small this year, because of the large number of pharmics who have withdrawn from the University, the usual amount of good spirit and loyalty was shown.
Wesley Childs, a junior in the department, was toastmaster. The following toasts were given. "The Dearest Lord," D. Havenhill; "Drug Supplies and the War," by Prof. C. M. Sterling; "Haffy Mark," by Prof. F. E. J. Zuck; "Relation of Laboratory Work to Pharmacy," by Prof. E. T. Johnson; "Mant to Me," by Lawrence P. Swarts; "Daddy Sayre," by Paul Crowell.
The Weather
The customary baseball game was played between the juniors and seniors of the department. The juniors were victorious. At the annual banquet, held at the Eldridge House last night, the faculty of the department were guests of the students.
In response to the toasts, Dean L. E. Sayre gave a short talk. Philip Hayes played several numbers on the guitar.
LAWRENCE SENDS 25
MEN TO FORT RILEY
Almost Half of First Kansa Contingent to Camp Are University Men
FIRST CALL OUT TODAY
Twenty-Five Hundred Men t Start Intensive Training In Next Ten Days
Twenty-five men from Lawrence were called in the first 600 for the Officers' Reserve training camp. This first group was principally from Missouri, 538 being Missourians, 67 from Kansas, and none from Colorado and Wyoming, the other two states in this district.
The next call will come tomorrow. The Lawrence men were chosen alphabetically, and up to the letter "M." Each of the men called will receive notice, and are asked on the receipt of their cards to report at once:
HEADQUARTERS
CITIZENS, TRAINING, CAMP
CITIZENS' TRAINING CAMPI Fort Rilew, Kans.
You are authorized to report at this location, having trained authority. War Department receipt of this card start at once. Bring this card with you to the camp adjutant upon arrival.
Forty-two hundred applications were received from which the final selection was cut down to 2,050. The other 450 to bring the total attendance to 2,500 are: National guards, 214; engineers, 163; reserve corps, 293; researchers who shall be selected and whose commissions are in transit. 61.
LAWRENCE P. BUTLER,
About sixty thousand men have qualified for admission to the sixteen officers' training camps, and from these forty thousand will be selected and placed under intensive instruction within the next ten days.
Ten thousand of the forty thousand under training will be chosen at the close of the three months work to become officers of the first army of 500,000 men. The remainder who qualify will be assigned to fill vacancies in the regular army or national guard, or will be commissioned in the reserve corps and to fill up gaps in the command personnel of regiments at the fighting front when American troops get into action.
Most of the twenty-five men chosen for the training camp are University men. More will receive notices this week.

LARGE AUDIENCE SEES THE ANNUAL MAY FETE
After Two Postponements the Weather Was Perfect for Historical Production
The two postponements and the half hour wait were worth it. For the costumes were good looking and the pageants and tableaux were well acted. The May Queen, Grace Beckley, was a stated queen and Alma Mater, Evelyn Strong, did just what Alma Mater ought to do.
All Departments Were Represented in Pageant-Both Bands Furnish Music
There you have summarized all that is going to be said in the rest of this story of the May Fete which took place last week. The McCook Field before a large audience.
FANCY COSTUMES PLEASED
KELLEYISMS
The procession left Robinson Gymnasium at 4:30 o'clock with Mac's band, leading. It marched down the road that leads to Mississippi street and then trailed into McCook and paraded around the track twice. After that the May Queen was crowned and the characters of the pageant took their places on the green. Then the tableaux began.
The May Pole dance was first. Then the dances started in full swing. The Greek maidens danced around just like real Greek maidens are supposed to do. After that the Germans gave a folk dance and folks say this is written before the dance of the day. The department of theology its symbolic dance, representing the growth of flowers was most picture-resque.
The man who "doesn't care for the paper anyway" is on my blacklist when it comes to locals.
XL. DEPARTMENTS REPRESENTED
The wives were next in interest.
Of this group came from a public speaking gave a pantomine play about love and pirates. American history was shown in an interesting way by the department of history and political sciences. After that Socrates came out with a group of philosophers and staged a tragic death scene. Next two little girls, not of university, showed how the brain works when a pin is stuck into the hand.
PROCESSION STARTED LATE
How soon will that whistle blow? I've got to know where to switch in.
MANY FANCY COSTUMES
But this could be stretched out indefinitely. Much more could be mentioned. The costuming was the biggest feature of the Fete. Every detail was watched and the result was quite realistic characters. The costumes were not all cheese cloth. Real velvet, silk and lace were built into the worn ones by the men and women of romantic age and story book times.
BLACK HELMETS INITIATE
TWENTY-ONE FRESHMEN
ALL DEPARTMENTS REPRESENTED
The Black Helmets, honorary sophomore society, held initiation at the Sigma Nu house last night for twenty-one freshmen.
B. W. Browne
I believe in one God, one country, one wife,
and one advertising rate.
The new members of the society are: John Monteith, Ray Paramore, Melward Idol, Floyd Peacock, George Nettles, Charles Schofstaff, Gail Willeson, Mark Adams, Victor Woodward, Roscoe Stubbs, Webb Wilson, Bud Weightman, Howard Ritchey, Ernest Ryan, William Brady, Fred Rustenbach, Mayson Boys, Ellis Wilhelm, Roy Grisson, and Stewart Ludlow.
A small town paper should not print police court news—at least not in a town like Toronto where we haven't had a police court case for three years.
E. E. KELLEY
If the home people read my editorials, I never find it out.
People have a sixth sense by which they can tell whether or not to accept you as a friend.
The Daily Kansan is a better newspaper than it used to be.
The newspapers are better in warm weather than in cold. Everybody has more sense in the sun.
A man is likely to have some sense knocked into him by the time he is fifty.
I can name editor after editor in Kansas who takes extended trips to Colorado every year, sends his children to college, and owns nother than a book.
The Kansas country town offers the best chance for a young man to be of absolute use to her.
Plain Tales from the Hill
The small town barber shop is official headquarters for police court news and all that ought to be police court news.
Scooper Hill became reminiscent yesterday afternoon. You see Scoop was taking the part of Queen Hortense or something like that from the history department and was just waiting for his cue to come to walk past Alma Mater and bow low. Maybe the clothes and the paint he had on had something to do with his mood. Imparty, just eleven years ago this week I saw first saw McCook Field. Came up from amphoria with the high school baseball team, Yeah. Scoop was mascot. Still makes aute one.
E. E. Kelley comes from Toronto, Kansas. His name may sound like Irish. And it does. And he is. He is a newspaper man down in his home town. Just visiting us up here. He is one of those short stubby Irishmen. That lives right here in Lawrence. It was a Plain American. Liked the town. He is tall, reaching way past the six foot mark.
Mister Thayer took Mister Kelly for a walk yesterday around the campus. Maybe you saw them. The comparison was great.
This is a little old but like pie, still good;
Louis Hull and Gerald Sparks are Pu Iupson brothers. Also fraters in that scientific brotherhood, Sigma Xi, which is like Phi Beta Kappa in that one has to have pretty nice grades to be pledged.
The Pi Us had a fire Easter, Gerald and Louie were the only ones in the house when the fire started. They smelled something. Then they felt something. Then they saw something.
"A fire," quoth the fair Louis.
"You are wrong my brother."
answered Brother Sparks. "It will have to be proved to me that a fire is taking place before I will consent to turning in the fire alarm."
"Etctetara," said both of them arguing whether the fire was burning wood or gas or some of the good 17 dollar suits upstairs. Just then the gas exploded and they phoned for the wagon.
But anyway the honor of the brotherhood was upheld.
Walter Wellhouse will leave for Leavenworth today to inspect a shipment of nursery stock just received from Holland. All plants received must be inspected at their destination for infectious fungi and insects.
Willard Wattles is a modest instructor; he asked us not to print this. Besides that, he is an efficient instructor; he teaches rhetoric and makes a model.
Plots and counterplots, rising and falling action, and the well-known moment of suspense were the issues yesterday.
And even while Willard talked to his class, he felt himself leaning back in his chair, a little too far for comfort. He tried to catch himself. (Moment of suspense.) But he moved toward the chair with a slow, almost poetic motion, estimated he was "going down" (Falling action). Willard's grin broadened into a laugh as he touched the floor. He picked up himself and chair (rising action) and requested the incident not to be mentioned in the Kansan.
Hence you read it.
Sarah Berndhart, as an actor in French plays, was being favorably discussed by one of the French classes this morning. However, Professor F. A. Cowper, who doesn't seem to care for sad scenes, contributed, "Sarah Berndhart loves a play in which she can die at the end. Why she has seven or eight different ways of dying gracefully."
And all this happened behind the scenes at the May Fete;
"Say, should the moon wear her
down her back or on top of her
head
"Give me a sweater. If I've got to wear a veil down to my feet I can wear underneath. Cheesecloth list the worst things to wear that I can think of."
"Tell Marie Antoinette to swallow that ice cream cone whole. We've got to march out of here in one second."
"For the love of Mike! Look at
Vinny. She's wearing a wrist
watch."
"No Betty, those aren't real pirate
They won't hurt little girls."
"Does my tunic hang straight?" asked Clio of Calliope as she tried to see all of herself in a Monad's mirror. A Monad is something or other from the philosophy department.
"Shades of Sophocles! The hero is expiring to the strains of a wedding march. And you can see him breathenly. And we bleachers." Some breath that
Milt Peek is a deep thinker. He
teaches me to take yesterday and
deacted an error.
"Socrates shouldn't have been compelled to walk off from his death-cot; but then, too, the pall bearers might have been busy with i. c. cones."
DANCE TONIGHT STARTS CAMPAIGN FOR FUNDS
Three Student Organizations Behind Movement to Raise Money
REGISTRAR IS TREASURER
Dr. James Naismith Makes Personal Gift of $50 to Company M
BEGINS AT 8:30
The University War Bureau authorized the raising of this fund, and placed the campaign in the hands of the University Council, the Women's Student Government, and the Kansan. Registrar George O. Foster will act as treasurer.
K. U. will show her patriotism at a big dance in Robinson gymnasium tonight for the benefit of the University men who are wearing the khaki uniforms of Company M. In the inter- the same fund tags will be sold by the University Government Association at the all-University conventation Friday morning.
"Everything is ready for the big mid-week dance, and it should be a big success," said Walter Hawerkor, president of the Men's Student Council, this morning. "It will be a patriotic act for every University man to attend the dance. The expenses are being held down so that a large sum may be turned over to the fund for Company M.
Mrs. E. B. Brown and Captain and Mrs. Jones will chaperon the party. She'lls orchestra will furnish the music. The dance will begin at 8:30 o'clock.
EACH COMPANY HAS FUND
Company M's fund started off with a leap when today Dr. James Naismith made a personal contribution of fifty dollars to the doctor Naismith had received this doctor's visual examinations, and he desired to give it all to the fund for Company M.
The U. S. Army regulations provide that each company in the service may have a company fund which will consist of the gross amounts of money received from all sources. The fund is in charge of the company commander and, with the concurrence of the company council, is disbursed by him solely for the benefit of the company. The company fund account is inspected by the regimental or battalion commander at least once a quarter.
The company fund is carried in two separate accounts. One is derived from savings that may be made from the allowance for rations. This money is expended only for the purchase of goods. The amount received is carried in another account and may be expended for any articles that may contribute to the comfort and well being of the company as a whole. In this connection the purchase of lockers to care for and transport personal property of the men may be limited allowance of baggage and equipment; make it necessary to pay the excess from private funds or abandon the property when a move is made.
MAY BUY BOOKS
When a number of men are in a training camp some recreation is necessary to break the monotony of the arduous drill. The purchase of goods, games, and musical instrument may be made from the company fund.
The members of the company are desirous of contributing their best to the service. To this end military text books for the use of the men may be purchased, cared for, and transported. However, no expenditure which is a personal benefit to any officer or man may be made from the company fund.
All additions to the fund are covered by voucher receipts and are taken up on the company's account book. All disbursements are made with the consent of the company council and must conform to the army regulations.
The captain is held accountable for every penny that is received in this fund and any money spent that is not authorized by the regulation must be replaced.
Several watches, over fifty dollars in cash, several suits of clothes, a leather valise, and a few fraternity ties was the harvest reaped by burglaries. The Phi Fli House some time last night between midnight and morning.

FAREWELL DANCE TONIGHT
Take advantage of the one great opportunity to have a Wednesday night dance date.
Yes, it's really true.
You can have a date for a dance to-night—in short the Men's Student Council, the Woman's Student Government Association and the Kansas are urging you to do so.
The dance is for the benefit of Company M. Get your date immediately. She won't care if it is a bit late, because the money goes for a company fund for Company M.
The dance tonight may be the last time that all of the K. U. family will be together, for each day many are leaving and the reserve corps goes to Ft. Riley Monday.
It will be a farewell dance. It will be a benefit舞. By your presence Company M will be better equipped when it is called out.
Make your date while there is still time.
BEWARE!
It's time now for the appearance of the agents for aluminium utensils, books, maps, periodicals, and whatnot, who will try to interest the gullible student in pedelling his wares. Upperclassmen will need no warning but the freshman have yet their trust in human nature to be shattered if they invest in one of these many phases of summer work without due investigation.
Every year has brought its crop of clever graft and the consequential hard feeling. Watch what you sign and be sure you are on safe ground before you contract to put in the summer months in something that will net you nothing but grief.
University vandals are not content with destroying the beauty of the lilac hedge, but they must go one step farther.
K. U. VANDALS
Miss Kate Stephens, an alumna of the University has generously given a bench to the University which has been placed between Green Hall and the Museum. The "newness" has not yet worn off of the bench but the vandals could not wait. No indeed! Some one with an idle brain has left his mark on the bench, regardless of the beauty of the gift which is near the Redbud tree.
Even the stone dedicating Spooner Library shows where another vandal has carved some letters. Then there are the walls, the chairs and even the statues in the various buildings which have initials carved or written upon them.
Social pathologists say that the student who carves his initial or otherwise defaces university property
has taken a step toward becoming a criminal.
If you have any love for your Alma Mater; if you are loyal to the state which has made your education possible; or if you have any respect for yourself, will you not refrain from taking the criminal step?
It is to be hoped that each one will not only see to it that he does not mar in any way the University property but that each student will help create a strong sentiment against "vandalism."
Next to the bore who delights in telling us of his trip to the war zone, is the one who informs us, "That's the way I got my start, sonny."
THE STUDENT'S "BIT"
"Don't waste! Save and Conserve"
—These words embody the sentiment of the nation in the present crisis.
From the President, the administration, the press, down through governors, state official circles, and local organizations the sentiment rings clear. It is a warning;—a remedy.
It must touch every man and woman in the country. It must influence every home, and in so doing, it must affect each student of this University.
The question now arises, how shall it affect the student? How can the student do his bit? At the outset the student occupies a peculiar position. In the vast majority of cases he is not entirely upon his own resources. He doesn't pay the bills. He eats, sleeps, smokes, attends the剧院, and dad does the rest. Moreover the little economies which perforce may fall upon the paternal roof may never touch him. The sacrifice is all too liable to fall at home.
Now is it fair? Shouldn't a student do his duty as much as the folks at home? He is a citizen and he owes it to his home and to his country to do all within his power to conserve and help bear the burden. How shall he do it?
To begin with there is the student tobacco bill, the fountain bill and the dance bill. There are little bills of all descriptions which do not go toward the payment of the necessities of life Consider what a saving would result if only all the money spent for tobacco was turned to better use. Then add another item and watch the total grow. Viewed from the individual standpoint it seems insignificant, but considered in a collective sense it is no small matter.

"Do you really think all that exclusiveness is necessary for the consumption of a single ice cream soda?" a visiting father asked his daughter as he watched a man and a girl dishear and bind the curtains of a booth in a cafe.
Vic Bottomly is elected president of the Men's Student Council; Bill Brown, vice-president and Russell Gear, secretary. The representatives are: A. E. Creighton, Henry A. Shinn, D. S. Bechtle, Jonathan Ritter, P Miller, Warner Rockwell, J. C. Greenstreet, T. J. Horsely, Deane Arckers, Art Stacey, L. E. Jackson, F. L. Nutting, Frank McCaffery, Horace Boone and Charles Green.
A LITTLE THOUGHT NEEDED
To the Editor of the Kansan:
A little thought may persuade many that an ice cream soda may be eaten in the sight of all who enter the restaurant. It is one of those small actions from which much is made, of course, but one which can be dispensed with to the general advantage of the student population.
That question has been asked more than once, and often the questioners have followed it up with unpleasant remarks about University students.

CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent
"I know that many of the things we go after here are not worth while, but the competition is so keen!" I quote from one of the best knitting books popular. Fraternity man of the University, one not in school at present.
CONCERNING DEMOCRACY AT ..
Editor of the Kansan:
Surely, now at a time when most of the men of the University are ready and even likely to lay down their lives on European battle-fields for the sake of democracy, out of place to take stock of ourselves at home. For the absurdity of trying to enforce upon Europe what we may not possess ourselves is its own commentary. Democracy half as good is worse than no democracy at all.
Certainly, there is much cause to distrust what one of my students has so aptly phrased, as "ostentatious democracy." After all, your students must elect a trustee to represent the trust. It was the Son of God who brought the Golden Rule.
Now, to come to K. U. Whatever artificiality we have here, whatever restraint, cheapness, wasted energy, is due to the perfectly natural but often mis-directed ambition to "belong" to things not for what one can put into them or even get out of them, but because "not to belong to something" is according to present valuations the seal of failure.
I do not think our deficiencies he are due to the fraternities, but I do think our failures are in part due to our attitude toward fraternities. It is an attitude that the fraternity men themselves in most cases do all that they can to discourage, but so far they have not succeeded any more than have succeeded in some instances. (In referring to this matter of fraternities, may I say that I do not believe there are many fraternity men East or West who have had more than I the confidence and friendship of Greek letter men, nor have I once opened the subject myself. I suppose there is not a fraternity on Mount Oread which does not contain at least two or three men who at their own initiation have discussed with me the matters I bring up. I am not sure I will collate not a single confidence entrusted to me. I have not cared publicly to make this statement before, yet it can be tested true by any one who desires to do so. And the men who are my friends are with practically no exception East or West the leaders of their organizations.) Any initiate knows the high principles which he is sworn to observe in the Constitution of his fraternity; and I believe that with 'ew exceptions' the rules of the fraternity, every man and woman know how much of significance there is in the expression of my friend, the competition is so keen!
One of the instincts of humanity is gregariousness, the formation of mutually congenial groups of common interests. The fraternity is only one such group of human beings. Guides, protects, supports, and develops its members. It reduces a somewhat differentiated membership to a common standard, so that one begins to hear about a "fraternity type" just as one hears of the "colleague type." One develops out of the other. Both are in inevitable and interdependent.
In certain Eastern men's colleges like Amherst College the chapter houses were long ago paid for, and in bidding a member it is not so necessary as here at present to consider the financial means of the candidate. Because Eastern people are in general well to do, they have learned that there are some special needs, personality, ability, Horace Greeley, if living today, would reverse his sentence and say, "Go East, young man, go East." In the smaller Eastern colleges the aim of the average student is to know every
1. There are fraternities which discipline their members because they do not stick closely enough to be in touch but cultivate outside friendships.
Here, however, are some of the charges against K. U., no matter whether
3. There are too many men and women in school spending more money than their home circumstances justify.
5. There are men in each fraternity who regret that they ever became fraternity men; for after they are in, they sometimes find that in conforming to type they have forfeited their honors, but unusually gifted fellow whose personality does not in time absorb into the common type.
4. Too many sorority women must pay such high fees to maintain and equip new and large sorority houses that they can afford to stay in school only one or two years, rather than several years of a normal college course.
2. There are sororities whose unwritten law it is that a sorority girl may not go with a non-fraternity man.
What is the solution? Dormitories,
A Commons, and Co-operation not
Congregated.
man in college worth the knowing.
It is easier to do than here because the men do not take their meals in their chapter houses but in village boarding-houses or at the Commons. They often prefer the conveniences of the church and the opportunities of intimate acquaintance with campus life to the isolation of luxuriously appointed fraternity houses. The absence of co-education throws a larger number of men into intra-mural athletic. You do not in the East overhear on the street where men have had a date last night with Emily." Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, Williams, Amherst men, have even appeared in Greek and Latin classes wearing a flannel shirt. Men have been known to have had conversations with members long after the details of Analytics or Rhetoric were forgotten. There are long hikes that men may take on snowshoes into the mountains, there are trails on Toby, and sugar-camps, and brook trout, and ruffed grouse, and wild deer, and country otters, and a few other things that some of us in Kansas never heard of.
And girls at Smith and Holyoye seem likewise able to start off on flat-heeled shoes to climb Mount Tom, or walk the Range, or look for a girl in school without an apparent lack of Tom and Dick and Harry. And there are even slightly well known women's colleges, like Vassar or Bryn Mawr, or Wellesley, over dresseming in the class-room is considered in bad taste. There aren't so unchivutous as hint here in Kansas that the competition is so keen?
But it is not co-education that is responsible, for Leland Stanford is a co-educational institution. There, of course, the dormitories and the commones are as old as the university itself, and there at the head is a president who in his opening address last autumn uphold the ideals of democracy for which his university is supposed to stand, and suggested that the keeping of touring cars by students is possible to be dispensed with. Here in Lawrence the other day I overheard this remark between two young ladies, "Why, has she got a car? I didn't know she was anybody."
What then, is responsible for the criticism that is rightly or wrongly directed against the University of Kansas? Here we have a manhood and womanhood inferior to none in the world, a comradeship, a heartfelt sense of humor, a sense of humor, an integrity that makes one take off his hat whenever he thinks of it. One cannot watch day after day these healthy, ruddy, firm-footed, clean-eyed lads and girls without feeling it is an inestimable privilege to be, if only for a short time, among them and to have won their faith and friendship. Their faith and friendship they shall be the men and women of the Commonwealth, and they will not forget those who loved them and labored for them.
But it is perhaps the not unpropthetic hope of those of us now here who in a few years will be here no more, that those who come after us will weave their lives over us and like they have had, a truer sense it may be of values, and a more genuine democracy than we for all our endeavor were able to establish. The true democarchy cannot be with-held; it is part of the march of progress, part of the Infinite plan of which we are but the soon-forgotten agents. For a day or two some one will be much of bittersion, a little too much of hope, has called himself to account as well as his fellows, has blundered perhaps more awkwardly than they, and yet has been unable to withhold his hand from writing what to him is the truth for his day and his understanding, hoping that, whatever his blame, may in some way affect him, and State he loves into closer companionship and common democratic aim.

There is no power under heaven to equal that of an idea. Christianity itself once existed as an idea in the mind of a humble carpenter in an obscure Judean village. The railroad and the steamboat once boarded out of a tea-kettle. Potetsburg address has become the battle-hymn of President Obama of the World. We in Kansas may do worse than here to highly resolve that in the finest and best sense,—that of the true aristocracy of the Golden Rule, Democracy for us shall begin at home. These means we have to our end; athletics, religion, music, journalism, professional fraternities, and class societies,—but best and of all, the memory of the church back home. Wilfred Wattles.

St. Louis Symphony Makes Its Initial Appearance at K. U.
THE ORchestra OF THE FARMERS' COLLEGE.
YEAR'S FINAL CONCERT
HERE TOMORROW NIGHT
St. Louis Symphony, Directed by Famous Pole, Will Play in Robinson Gym
The concert, which the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra will give tomorrow night in Robinson gymnasium will be the third symphony concert of the year for K. U. The orchestra is being brought here by the School of Music, with a range for four symphony concerts a year in the future instead of two.
The St. Louis Symphony, under the direction of Max Zach has become one of the best known orchestra in the middle west. It now has severity-five concerts a week. His country is represented in it but Mr. Zach conducts all rehearsals in English. He probably is the only conductor in the world who does this. He is known as one of the least sensational of orchestra conductors. The reason is that most of the seas are given, rather than his own interpretation, critics say.
Mr. Zach was born in Lemberg, Austria Poland. He studied 'music in Vienna Conservatory before he entered the Austrian army for his term of service. There he was assigned to the orchestra of the Thirty-first Regiment of Infantry. At age 16, he came to America and joined the Boston Symphony Orchestra with which he remained until 1907 when he went to St. Louis.
Tickets for the concert tomorrow night may be obtained at the registrar's office or the Round Corner Center. There are fifty cents, seventy-five and $1.

TIGERS MEET VARSITY
Missouri, Old Rival, Comes Her After Taking Thirteen Straight Games
The probability is that the Kansas lineup tomorrow will be the same as the one which defeated the Cornhuskers here April 25 by a 13 to 2 score. This lineup is: Carter, c. Craig or Pointer, p. Chase, C. Gibbens or Weber, ch. Shimba, Bratt, ss.; Captain Smee, lf.; Gibbens, cf., and Weber, wr.
The Tigers, fresh from thirteen straight victories seven of which have been Missouri Valley Conference games, will invade the Jayhawken camp tomorrow afternoon for two games with Coach McCarty's proteg
With this lineup going at its best Kansas should make a strong showing with a good chance to win from the exalted Tigers. The Jayhawkers always play their best game against them and are undeniable those who uphold their record tomorrow. The game is scheduled to begin at four o'clock sharp.
Captain Smee predicts there will be the old time rivalry between the two schools and that the Jayhawkers have a mighty good chance to change the Tigers luck. The fact that the Tigers have won thirteen straight victories over the Cincinnati Panthers fama as a sure sign that the Jayhawkers will win the clashes.
The weather was fine for practice yesterday afternoon and the squad held its regular practice on Hamilton Field as McCook Field was being used for the May Fete. Most of the allotted time was given over to batting practice. Lofty Sproull occupied the box meantime, but before the game tomorrow afternoon will be held on McCook Field this afternoon.
SPORT BEAMS
Sproull will have a hard man to beat when Duncan, the crack Missouri miler, gets started in the meet Saturday, if reports of his speed have not been exaggerated. He did the mile in the Ames meet in a little more than 4:29, and Sproull has never made better time than that. If Sproull is in shape, the mile should be the prettiest race of the day.
The Kansas State Collegian (Manhattan) speaks of Rice and Treweeke as two of the best high jumpers in America.
The McCook diamond has been put into excellent condition since the rainy weather of the last two weeks, so that the Tiger-Jawhawk game tomorrow afternoon should be a fast game with a minimum of errors. Coach McCarty's proteges will have their final practice this afternoon.
One of the most comical games of baseball seen on Hamilton or McCook Fields this season was played yesterday afternoon on the west end of Hamilton Field between the junior and senior nines from the School of Pharmacy. The juniors won by a 15 to 0 score. Their lineup was: Dieford, 3b; Gibson, 2b; O'Toole, 3b; Grissom, 5s; Spradlin, 1f; Childs, cf; O. Smith, rf. The senior lineup was: Griffith, c; Farris, p; Cooney, 1b; Barnes, 2b; Todd, 3b; Johnson, ss; Blaylock, f; Harrison, s; and Diller, rf.
This is Missouri week at McCook Field. The Tigers will come here for two baseball games tomorrow and Friday afternoons, and the truck will arrive in Saturday morning. The Kansas tennis squad will be to Columbia Friday and Saturday.
It is nice to wear a Jayhawker baseball suit. At the May Fete yesterday afternoon the members of the squad who were suited-up passed away on October 28. Chase, the star first baseman who changed clothes before coming over

Captain Cowill said this morning that the squair which would make the trip, had not yet been chosen, but that it would probably be picked Wednesday. He did not know just how many of the players would be taken in the trip but said that two would probably be all that would go. Kenneth B. Uhls is the only player who has a sure place on the squad, according to the captain. Uhls is considered by the best men with a racket seen on McCook Field for several years.
The rainy weather has prevented tennis practice on MeCook Field courts for a week or more but practice started again yesterday. Although all of the candidates for the squad have been inactive during this time, Captain Cowill is confident that the Jayhawkins will take the honors in the two days tournament with the Tigers.
MISSOURI IS SLATED TO WIN TRACK MEET
Jayhawkers Will Meet Tigers With crippled Team Next Saturday
Kansas will present a crippled line-up when the meet with Missouri is started Saturday. Welsh will not be here to run in the quarter or the relay and Trewekew will not be able to compete in the high jump or broad jump. Both are doing work in some branch of the military service.
Welsh was counted on for a second in the 440-yard dash and was one of the main cogs in the relay team. Treweeke was sure of first in the high and possibly the broad jump. Simpson is the star broad jumper for the Tigers.
Howland probably will be used for the first time in a Missouri meet when he runs the mile. There is also a possibility of Stateater running the mile, because Missouri has no two miler of importance and he can repeat as he did in the indoor meet with the Miss. O'Leary of Davison, Davidson, and O'Leary are the probable entries for the dash events, while Crowley will be used in the quarter, O'Leary will be counted on for first man in the quarter as usual.
Rodkey and Murphy will run the half while Sproull will be the other entry in the mile. Casey will be the only entry probably in the hurdles. Casey, Ziegler, and Woodward will do the half on the school. The javelin may be one of the on the program Saturday and Woodward is handy with this weight.
Johnson will compete against Missouri for the first time when he does the broad jump. He went nearly 22 feet in the Agile meet Friday and then on first place if he continues to improve.

Grutzmacher is also good for a first or a second if the event is close enough. Rice, Miller and Johnson will do the high jump. Miller forced Rice to land in the midst of the class meet Monday and with practice should place in the Tiger meet.
Pattinson and Howard will do the pole vault, one of Missouri's weak points. Pattinson appears to be slated for a high jump; if he his work continues to impress.

The entries so far have been very good. From all indications the freshmen are going to have as good a showing as they did in the swimming meet. Their entries exceed those of any other class.
Because of the drawing and making out of schedules, Miss Pratt has asked that all students intending to enter the tournament sign up before play. No person can play in the tournament unless she signs before this date.

Thirty-nine students left Lawrence today, answering the second call from the Officers' Reserve Corps Training Camp at Fort Riley. This brings the total number chosen from Lawrence up to sixty-five. Notices were sent to 600 men yesterday to report at Fort Riley immediately.
WORK STARTS TUESDAY
Training begins at Fort Riley next Tuesday when the men will be organized into fifteen companies. Eleven temporary buildings have been constructed to help accommodate the 2,000 candidates for commissions. The barracks are wired with electric lights and fitted with sanitary plumbing.
More than 200,000 men have applied for admission into the sixteen training camps which opened yesterday to begin training the men who will command the army to be raised by the Selective Conscription Bill. Only forty thousand of the applicants will be given intensive training, of these 16,000 will serve officers at the close of three months' work.

Director of St. Louis Symphony Orchestra Gets Results Without Using Gymnastics
ZACH IS QUIET CONDUCTOR
The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, which recently played Prof. Charles S. Kilton's "Two Indian Dances" before St. Louis audiences and won two Grammy Awards for dances and their composer, will play in Robinson Gymnasium tonight.
Max Zach, conductor of the orchestra, has a reputation for being one of the few quiet conductors in the world. He was known to out-but using gymnastic performances.
JAYHAWKERS TO BE ISSUED
Leonora Allen, soprano soloist, who will sing the aria "Depuis le jour" from Charpentier's "Louise," was heard by the symphony orchestra of apolis Symphony Orchestra and has been heard by appreciative university audiences before.
Early Next Week Annual Publication of Senior Class Will Be Ready for Distribution
"The 1917 Jayhawkers will be put on sale the first of next week," said Arnold Nordstrom, editor of the Jayhawker, this morning. "All of them will be off the press by Thursday and they will be at the Hall as soon as they are bound."
Students who have ordered their annuals and are leaving the University should leave their address with Dick Gelvin, manager of the Jayhawker, in order that their books may be sent them. The annuals will be sent by parcel post to the students returning home or joining the army
The Jayhawker this year will contain more pictures than usual and several new sections, including a military section, children's section, Rock-Chalk Jay-Hawk section, and a Gay Squawk section. The Gay Squawk section, filled with thirty pictures, is filled in with K. U. wit and scandal, and the athletic section, with action pictures of all athletes, are the feature sections of the book.

"The Sour Owl" has arrived, "Judge," the New York comic magazine, reprinted in its issue of April 28 a drawing and two jokes from the "Owl" dated March 17; and just this week the Harvard "Lampoon" has reprinted a joke from the "Owl" columns. The drawing reprinted by "Judge" was by Fred Leach, fa'20 and the jokes were by D. L. Hartley
NO CREDIT FOR STUDENT
FARMERS AFTER MAY 1
Students who withdraw after noon Saturday, May 12, to work on the farm cannot be given credit for University courses Assistant Dean Patterson announced this morning. This policy was adopted by a recent senate meeting and will be enforced rigibly by the administrative authorities.
Dean Patterson wants to interfere in no way with boys withdrawing to answer the call to colors, but he feels that students ought to know by this time whether they are needed on the job. He does not want to insure the stability of the scheduled work of the University for the rest of the year.
WILL YOU WEAR A TAG?
Tomorrow all University students and faculty will be tagged for the benefit of a company fund, the first $500 to be given for a company fund for Company M.
The tags will cost only ten cents, but that does not mean that a larger amount will not be appreciated. One professor in the University has given $50 for this fund. If a professor can give so generously, can't you—student and faculty—sacrifice the price of one "movie" in order to give your share?
Of course, you'll want to wear

UNDEVELOPED MEN TO RECEIVE SPECIAL HELP
Department of Physical Education Will Try to Fit Men for Military Service
The department of physical education is putting on special work for students who are deficient in physical requirements for military service.
Examination of records for 1917 freshmen, which includes ages of eighteen and up, shows that about forty-one per cent of the students of these ages are undeveloped. Light weight, small chest, and flat feet are characteristics. Many of these are temporary and can be removed by special exercises.
The military manual gives the following table of measurements for the guidance of the examining officers:
Height  Weight  Chest
| | Nor. | Min. | Nor. at ex |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| 64 | 128 | 120 | 32 |
| 65 | 130 | 122 | 32 |
| 66 | 132 | 124 | 32,5 |
| 67 | 134 | 126 | 33 |
| 68 | 141 | 129 | 33,25 |
| 69 | 148 | 136 | 33,4 |
| 70 | 158 | 135 | 34 |
| 71 | 155 | 142 | 34,25 |
| 72 | 169 | 149 | 34,75 |
| 73 | 176 | 156 | 35,25 |
Two inches variation below the normal chest measurement is permissible when the applicant is in vigorous physical condition.
If students' measurements do not come up to this standard the department stands ready to aid by advice and selection of exercises, and will establish a class to remedy this condition.
DEAN KELLY IS OPTIMISTIC
Work along professional lines is encouraged by the government so there will be many anxious to finish this work in a shorter time. Extensive training in the School of Medicine are offered which will attract many students.
"The enrollment for the summer school is very uncertained," said Dean Kelly this morning, "but I would give it as a guess that we will have approximately eight hundred, as many as last year." Dean Kelly thinks that although the enrollment will be increased, it may be the investment and agricultural work, there will be factors which will offset the smaller numbers.
to Complete Their Work
War Will Have Little Effect on Summer Students—Student Anxious
The call for women teachers will be much greater since the war, so there will probably be an unusual number to fill the summer session. Then others who have no other work during the summer will feel that it is time for them to take their education in a shorter time so that they will be for summer school work.

Much work will be done in the graduate school, as each summer there are many working for their master's degree.
KANSAS OFFERS ITS MEN TO THE NATION
Four Hundred Respond to Cal of Service in Country's Greatest Need
WAR HITS THE UNIVERSITY
Raising of Army to Fight for Democracy Aids by Faculty And Students
Answering the call of the nation the University is giving its men, its resources, its brains to the service of the country's need.
In the single month in which the United States has been at war with Germany, 425 men have withdrawn from the University. Of this number 185 are working on farm and the remainder withdrew to enter the military service. This number will be increased probably 175 by the opening of the Fort Riley officers' training camp and the issuing of a call for active service for the Kansas National Guard. Many students who are members of different Guard units are remaining in school. Twenty-eight of them will take a special examination for admission to the state bar at Topena on May 10th preparatory to the opening of the Ft Riley camp.
WAR AFFECTS UNIVERSITY
These figures indicate the extent to which the war has affected every department of K. U. The wholesale withdrawal of students has caused the closing of tables at numerous fraternity houses. Daily military classes are more progress under the direction of the School in engineering. These classes include work in drill, military engineering, martial law, field regulations, drill regulations, signaling and military topography. Students taking this work are allowed to withdraw from a part of their regular class work and this allows down the class attendance in the other departments of the school materially.
In addition to this work twenty-five men are enrolled in shop courses being offered to fit men for war positions in case the government desires to call them. One course is offered for pre-service students, and the course in general mechanics is being given to fit men for active shop work in any field.
RED CROSS WORK
Red Cross work also is playing an important part in the school life. Two hundred and forty women are enrolled in this work under the direction of Dr. Dorothy Child. Many more of her children are eager to enter this work but cannot be taken care of because of the lack of supplies and instruction.
Students in chemistry and the School of Medicine are being asked to stay in school and complete their regular work because of the demand for men in these fields. Six seniors in the School of Medicine have been drafted by the government and sent to Washoe to spend the next three months at the U. of Washington School. At the end of this time they will be made assistant surgeons.
The college has been hit the hardest by withdrawals, having lost 290 men. One hundred and fifty of these have left the college, and four have enlisted. The faculty also has lost some men. Dean Walter of the School of Engineering, and W. W. Davis will go to the Training Camp at Fort Riley. Probably others will go but these names are all that have been announced. When the National Guard is called out two of the faculty will go, Captain Jones of the University commanding officer of Engineering and Dr. James A. Naismith, chaplin of the First Kansas Regiment is head of the department of physical education.
UNIVERSITY HAS NOT BEEN
CALLED ON FOR ENGINEERS
No Data on "Ad" Building
The new wing of the Administration Building is up in the air, theoretically speaking. It is known that there will be one, and that it will be of the same material as the other wing, but farther than that Mr. Kennedy, fondest dings and grounds, is important. He knows who will build it, when it will be built, or who will occupy it after it is completed.
"It is certain that nine engineering regiments will go to France," said Dean P. F. Walker this morning, "but I do not know whether any of these will be taken from the University. The nearest recruiting station for these regimens is St. Louis." These men will not go to the fighting line, but will work in conjunction with French engineers along the lines of communication. Most of the work will consist in the construction and maintenance of railroads from the base to the front.
Chancellor on Return From Washington Says Training Seems Necessary Now
UNIVERSITIES SHOULD HAVE MILITARY DRILL
SCHOOLS TO BE CONTINUED
Council of Defense Holds Educational Institutions Should Aid in Winning War
"From all indications other calls for men under the Selective Draft, than the one now imminent, will be made," said Chancellor Strong this morning. "For that reason it seems necessary that military drill in schools be required during the continuance of the war. That was the opinion of the conference of the Aces and the Council of Defense. The question has yet to be acted upon by the University of Kansas.
"But I believe it is important that students take part in the voluntary drill now in operation so that next year they may be better prepared in case general military drill has to be introduced. I hope, therefore, that the student body will take part in the present drill in large numbers."
Chancellor Strong said this on returning from a conference of representatives of American colleges and universities held at Washington May 4 and 5. The meeting wds called by the Committee of Science and Research of the advisory commission of the Council of National Defense. The purpose of the meeting was to form plans to summon to the use of the committee necessary to command of American colleges and universities.
Resolutions were adopted and recommended to the Council of National Defense that close co-operation be had between the government and the educational institutions during the war. It was approved that the Council of National Defense keep the educational institutions informed as to the technical, military, and general training for service for the country.
SHOULD KEEP UP WORK
The conference urged that men below the conscription age keep up their college course, that they will be able to render their best service during the war and in the trying times after it. Colleges should modify their courses so that the present needs of the nation can be met and yet use the student's time most profitably.
Students in medicine, agriculture, and engineering are urged by the conference to keep up their work as they can in this way serve their country better than by joining the army. Military training and drill was urged to be made compulsory in the universities and colleges .
Faculty Committee Named to Make Permanent Institution of Military Training—Student Officers
CADET REGIMENT FOR K. U.
A step toward a permanent University cadet regiment was made yesterday afternoon, when student officers were named for the three provisional companies. Faculty members heretofore serving as officers were relieved of command and will act only in a supervisory capacity, if plans proposed are successful. These faculty members will have charge of a University military department, Dean Walker will propose to Chancellor Strong.
Computersmilitary training is coming, no doubt, said Dean Walker. He urged that the present companies call for recruits and build up as a nucleus for a battalion or regiment to train them, in their merit. At present students from Companies M and H and of other military experience will act as officers. In a short talk to the men of the three companies yesterday afternoon Dean Walker told of the value of military training among students. He urged keen competition among the company and the team. The student offices named are:

S'MORE SPRING
There could be a poem about Spring writ here,
But what's the use with Summen so near?
Along comes Fall and then King Wint.
So now of spring we won't even hint.
We just can't let mr. prof. Hawkins alone. Twice already we landed upon him for letting his date carry one paddle when he goes canoeing and he is so entirely heedless that we doubt that he reads this column. Yesterday we saw him perambulating with his fair one toward the Kaw and she was again carrying her paddle.
Talking about spring. It has been rather backward, you see in coming; so the women students have been urging it on by wearing noisy coats and hats and, yes, slightly rougling their checks. The color hasn't come on the flowers and evidently they think it's up to them to furnish it.
A true paragrapher comments on the headlines of the newspapers and tries to say funny things. This was contributed:

Henry wasn't at the Phi Psi house and Don Davis wanted him. So he called up the Pi Phi house. "Is Ada Dykes there?" asks Don endeavoring to find by some means the previously mentioned Henry. "No, Henry," says the voice at the Pi Phi house. "She isn't."
MAY GIVE WAR SHOP WORK
TO SUMMER SCHOOL CLASS
The course in industrial training now being given in Fowler Shops may be repeated in summer school if enough students report at once to Prof. F. P. Sibley. The term would berenin June 7, and continue six weeks.
Students taking the course are registered with the United States Civil Service Commission and are trained for work in munition factories and arsenals. General industrial training, with machine practice, forging, woodwork, and ox-acetylene welding and cutting, is offered. The men who are taking the course now have withdrawn from all other classes.
FUND FOR COMPANY M
REACHES $125.50 MARK
Receipts Taken in at Dance Last Night Were $87.75 and Expenses $12.50
O SELL TAGS TOMORROW
Governing Bodies Expect to Raise Rest of $500 From Students and Faculty
Receipts for K. U.'s war fund jumped from $50 to $125.25 this morning with the addition of the money from the war dance last night in Robinson Gymnasium. A general canvass of the students and faculty tomorrow by the Student Councils is the plan for raising the number of the $500 which K. U. has planned for the benefit of Company M.
Dr. J. E. Naismith, started the fund with a private contribution of $50, which he had received as fees for physical examinations.
An effort to raise almost $375 tomorrow by popular contribution will be made by the men and women's governing associations.
At a benefit dance by the Student Council last night $78.75 was taken in for admissions of which only $12.50 was used for expenses. The use of the keyboard, stall, stall, the pianist were donated, cutting down expenditures to floor wax, programs, printing of the tickets, and three musicians besides the pianist. The cost of the music is usually one of the biggest items of a fund. She stall of his services increased the size of the fund considerably.
Committees from the Men's Council will see every member of the faculty in regard to their contribution to the fund.
The W. S. G. A. has chosen thirty women to sell tags to the students just after convention tomorrow. Ten students are invited, it is hoped that many of the students will feel glad to contribute this amount if not more to this fund.
J. BULL INTO NEWS GAME
Visiting English Journalist
British Have Learned to Co-operate With American Reporters, Says
Karl Walter, who as an English newspaper man is in this country studying American conditions, is the editor of a magazine of the department of journalism.
The organized system of giving out newspaper reports now being used by Mr Butler is a new thing in the British system, according to Mr. Walter.
Mr. Walter has been working with Jeffrey Butler, now in Washington with the British commission and has interviewed interviews given out by the commission.
The British have learned to cooperate with the American newspaper man in giving the news to the American press, whom he worked well and has been a great help in obtaining the good will of the American people.
MRS. LEWIS SPEAKS FRIDAY
First Woman Regent in America to Address Students at Monthly Conversation
Mrs. Cora G. Lewis of the Board of Administration will be the speaker at the first regular May convocation tomorrow.
Mrs. Lewis is the first woman member of any regent board in the United States. She has been a prominent worker in the child welfare movement in Kansas, and was instrumental in the founding of the National Child's Welfare Bureau. She is an editorial writer on the Kinsley Graphic, the newspaper owned and edited by her husband, J. M. Lewis.
Convocation will be held in Fraser
Chapel 10.10.19clock. Class periods
will be held at the following times.
And then—
The most important question among University women now is: "If you loved him would you marry him before he goes to war or won't you?"
A large number of the University men chosen to go to the Fort Riley camp left on the noon Union Pacific Railroad train and was stalled in the reservation barracks.
The first regular. May convocation will be at 10:10 o'clock Friday morning. Mrs. Cora G. Lewis of the Board of Administration will speak. Class period will be recorded according to the usual schedule.

"Though old the thought and oft ex-

"His tis at last who says it best."
FRAUD IN ELECTIONS
The conduct of last Thursday's election was notoriously lax. Witness the charges now being made that the ballots were not carefully preserved, that the re-count was unfair, and that the election judges did not thoroughly perform their duties. It is even being intimated that the ballot boxes were "stuffed" after the first count had been made; and this reason is assigned for the notable difference between the first count and the recount
K. U. must not suffer these continual attacks of fraud in her student elections. Two years ago, in the annual fall election, there was a great stir created when students voted more than once. Several repeaters were forbidden from voting at future elections that year. And now comecries of fraud, and criticisms of the Student Council which staged the election. "The ballots," voters say, "should have been carefully preserved, and an official recount provided for."
The adoption of a similar plan by the new student council, to take effect at the elections next fall, would save a lot of talk of fraud in K. U politics.
Election judges in municipal elections and national elections have a simple method of preserving ballots. They string 'em on a wire as they are counted; this wire is then officially sealed; and the package of ballots is taken to the city commissioners or the county clerk for an official count.
Some students start a term report off with a sound like a cannon, and end with the effect of a little twenty-two.
COMPULSORY TRAINING
The United States is facing one of the greatest crises in its history and men, along with money, food and munitions, will be needed to win the war. The University is sending recruits to the various branches of service every day, but there is still a large number of able-bodied men among the student body.
Voluntary military drill has been established but there are some who are not taking advantage of this training. A few prominent faculty members and students have suggested that we have compulsory military training here. The Kansan would like to have student and faculty sentiment expressed on this subject.
WHAT TEN CENTS WILL DO
And still they go in throngs and hordes down town to the movies! Neither wars nor rumors of wars, saving and conserving, high cost of living, nor anything else will stop them.
And yet that dime for ordinary pictures and that fifteen cents on Friday could be put to uses that would help relieve a little of the unbelievable human suffering. Ten cents would keep a French baby alive for a day. Ten times ten cents would buy a membership in the American Red Cross. Ten cents probably will buy a tag which will mean that Company M will go to war with the necessary supplies.
But the bored student continues to go to the movies.
Society item: A large number of men in the University are planning to have a house party for three months at Ft. Riley.
QUEER THINGS
People do many queer things when they become a little bit excited, for instance, that idea of plowing up the University Campus, and making it into a garden. After all the time and pains, that the state has put on it in an attempt to beautify it, some one decided that it was not serving its purpose, therefore it should be plowed up and planted to beans.
Along in the same class with the advocate of farming the campus, is the individual who takes it upon himself to attempt to say clever things about the khaki clad individuals that are seen on the Hill. It does not take much nerve or ingenuity to criticize the work of others, and suggest reforms and plans for the future, but the test comes when the theory is tried out.
It has been said that a book is the noblest work of man and that even a Quinker ought to take off his hat"in a library.

IS THE CAMPUS A PASTURE?
Editor:
Is the campus being turned into a cow pasture?
CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent
Last Sunday there were eight or ten cows turned loose on the campus to roam where they pleased. Presumably the owner had consent from the University authorities to do this. Is this in keeping with our idea of a campus beautiful? Girls who are accustomed to stroll over the campus on Sunday afternoons were afraid of the cows.
Perhaps cows are the most economical mowing machines, but let's try not to take the "save and conserve" slogan to heart too much. V. T.

CONCENTRATE ON DRILLS Concentrate on military attention, the military heart, and for the hour they are held and careful preparation of class room work with a continuation in such college activities as are constructive and beneficial to the entire student body should be the focus of your attention from now until the close of school.
An editorial in the New York Sun gives a philosophical reason for continuing our national as well as col- laboratory war. It declares of war. It says in part:
THE SITUATION AT OHIO
A new atmosphere is discernible about the campus. One finds difficulty in concentrating interest on the everyday things. An air of some confusion, instigation, combined with one of 'high nervous tension, pervades everything.'
This tendency needs to be checked. While one remains in the University, it is fair to assume that he feels this to be his place of duty for the time since he has made same reasoning, it is his duty to give him opportunities to the tasks which are at hand.
The cloud of war, in short, is putting a shadow over all other interests. No one knows what is coming next, or whether the danger of forgetting what is present.
If a man feels that his place is not here, then he should leave, as many of them do.
CONCENTRATE ON DRILLS
Only by following one of these two courses can one be true to the ideals which should guide him in the present national crisis.
The rule which should guide us all at times, but more especially now, is to the task which it is your duty to do, and the task of your ability—Ohio State Lantern;
It is easy to see how the military atmosphere may overshadow all else. The best student course in these trying days is a rational one, in which students are given the time may be found to give to the drills, to studies and to the best activities—for no other kind should be tolerated now. And it might not be an unreasonable request to ask of the faculty that slight consideration in form of assignments be given students who are drilling—Depaun Daily.
CONTINUING ATHLETICS
Most of the universities throughout the country are gradually falling into line in regard to continuing athletic sports next semester. After the first flurry of a war fever which resulted in a wholesale cancelling of spring and fall schedules, a majority of students are jumping in and gradually seeing the light. The question of status of sports under as normal conditions as possible. Dr. Dudley A. Sargent, of Harvard, famous as an authority on scientific athletics, does not look with favor on a ban on college athletics simply because war has been declared. In his opinion, universities will be of more service to the country if they keep their athletes laced snuffing them out of existence. After speaking of the value of intercollegiate sport as a stimulus to the production of the highest type of officer and soldier, he says;
experience of the diamond to support it. Since the war began those of our people who have lived for some time in various countries of Europe have been meditating upon fundamental differences observed in earlier years. One of these relates to games. England has always loved and practiced all kinds of friendly contests. All kinds of football in a list of them. These tend to develop a certain spirit of fair play and a certain loyalty to one's partners.
"The natural result of such a spirit was the act of standing by the treaty with Belgium without selfish consideration of coast. Germany utterly failed to comprehend that spirit. There is little sport in Germany--that is, genuine, hearty, harmless outdoor play for the love of it. The Prussian idea of sport is the duel of swords and the scarred student jacket being up on sports. They furnish wholesome exercise in peace and the best preparation for fair and manly context of a more serious kind."
There seems to be no good reason why, in our own University, sports usually on the programme for next semester should not be engaged in. There will be a large number of men in college who will not as yet be in the service of their country either on account of the age requirement or their failure to pass the rigorous examination. We are listed the first portion of a large army. This does not mean, however, that these men should pay more attention next semester to athletics than to military training, should the nation go into the war in a manner worthy of her name and reputation. There is little doubt but that every male student in the University, including those in the two upper classes, will be given intensive military work next semester, and this work must not be subordinated to other exams and tests. But the two are not incompatible. The only danger will be an extreme interest in the one at the expense of the other. If this danger can be realized beforehand and avoided, there seems to be no good reason why athletics should not be continued.

MANY STUDENTS ARE HELPED BY LOAN FUND
Total of $2,852 Is Available for Students Who Must Have Extra Money
MAKES DEGREES POSSIBLE
Many Now Prominent In Business and Professional Circles Have Benefited
That the Students Loan Fund has become a medium for real and permanent service to the needy and worthy students of the University is shown by the fact that all but ninety dollars of it has been loaned.
Five years ago when the fund was created there was $1,352 to its credit, but since then through various pledges and gifts the amount has been increased to $2,852. One thousand two hundred dollars was added this last year.
CLASSES HAVE CONTRIBUTED
CLASSES HAVE CONTRIBUTED
The senior class of 16 contributed
$278, student pledges amounted to
$430, while private donations
amounted to $245, of which $100 was
given by Governor Capper.
The fund was started in July 1884 by the graduating classes of the College and Engineering School as an aid to students who did not have the means to finish their work. Loans are installed of from only twenty-five cents a month in order not to tempt students to spend more than necessary.
23 LOANS THIS YEAR
This year twenty-three loans have been made to students of which 13 are seniors. Seven of these students are girls and six boys. Everyone is working his way and doing so with creditable grades.
MANY ARE PROMINENT
In the past loans have enabled many students to complete their courses of study who are now making enviable careers. Nine of them are professors in prominent colleges and universities in this country. Fifteen are teachers in high schools of this state and neighboring ones.
INNESTAT
Several are prominent in the engineering profession; two are ministers and one is school superintendent of one of the largest cities of Kansas. A is a national Y. M. C. A. secretary, and others are prosperous business and others are prosperous business.
BY THE WAY—
Other universities have student loan funds amounting to from $5,000 to $20,000, and it is hoped that the fund of this University will increase to a like amount in order to aid the many promising students who are compelled to leave school because of lack of funds.
The Latest Hesitation
**"She who hesitates is not."** said somebody many moons ago. That the maid of today can be lost in the same manner was revealed in an overheard conversation between two furrow-browed K. U. women yesterday.
"I didn't ask him for a date to the W. A. dance Saturday night until this noon and he's had his date for the man. The man I asked at one-thirty had a date in row. Believe me, I will hustle my date in time next year," and Miss Sehb.
The senior maiden smiled and of
fered to help in the man hunt.
Gillham-Gleason
The news leaked out yesterday of the marriage on May 1 of Miss Gilham, Sedwick, and Mr. Charles Gleason, associate secretary of the University of the Sigma Phi fraternity. Mr. and Mrs. Gleason will make their home in Lawrence.
Kappa Phi
Kappa Pm Mrs. Gordon B. Thompson gave an illustrated lecture at the meeting of the Kappa Phi Club last night. She
traced the growth of the work of the Foreign Missionary Society from the time of its formation at the close of the Civil War to the present time and from a modest organization of eight women to thousands at the present.
Business was taken up at the meeting, and committees were appointed to make arrangements for a hike to be held Saturday afternoon, May 19.

STUDENTS STILL BUSY IN WARRING NATIONS
Soldiers Study in the Trenches When Time Permits, Mrs. Hoffmann Says
MEN EAGER FOR BOOKS
And Prisoners Want to Improve Themselves In Every Possible Manner
"The students of the warring nations are studying their text books and are making their examinations while fighting in the trenches," said Mrs. Conrad Hoffman, yesterday afternoon in her lecture in Fraser Hall. Some of the English Tommies are making their Oxford examinations while at the front. The Germans are encouraging the learning of English and French and the children seem to look upon going to school as a business man does his business and not as a thing forced upon them."
Mrs. Hoffman delivered the greetings from Mr. Hoffman to fellows at K. U. and quoted him as saying he believed the Germans were making an honest effort to feed and care for the prisoners. "There have been no food crises," Hoffman said. "We Americans even longed for some excitement, everything was so quiet."
PRECAUTION TAKEN
Many interesting things were told about the food regulations and the precautions taken to prevent injustice to the German people. "I talked with a French man who was deprived of one no made complaint against the Kaiser," said Mrs. Hoffman. "He is a religious man and commands the respect and loyalty of the German people. However, there is some complaint that he who distribute the food and clothing."
PRISONERS WANT BOOKS
A strict reciprocity is maintained between prisoners and officers with regard to the exchange of prisoners and the sending of mail and packages. Each package coming into Germany must be addressed to a different person. One English prison camp received as high at 35,000 packs of supplies for the supply of food and other necessities of the prisoners is supplemented.
K. U. RECEIVES PRAISE IN ENGINEERING MAGAZINE
The University of Kansas got a two-column writeup and six cuts of the Chemistry Building and chemical laboratories in a recent issue of the Metallurgical and Chemical Engineering Magazine printed in New York.
While attending the national convention of the American Chemical Society in Kansas City recently, seventy of the delegates visited the University and were entertained at dinner at the University Club.

The new Student Council members were installed Monday night at a meeting of the old council. The officers declared elected by the old council are; president, Walter B. Havkorset; vice-president, Dorman H. O'Leary; secretary and treasurer, Rudolf Uhrlaub.
The disputed offices were settled by the old council declaring O'Leary elected over Schmidt, as vice-president, while the candidacy to president was postponed until the regular class election next fall.
This decision was reached by the retiring council after much deliberation and the plan adopted seemed to be the only feasible plan open. Votes were counted and then recounted and then recounted. The recount showed O'Leary to be vice-

DOPE FAVORS KANSAS IN TIGER TRACK MEET
Varsity Ought to Win by Ten Points in Annual Classic Saturday Afternoon
Indications seem to point to a Kansas victory in the Kansas-Missouri dual meet Saturday unless there is a great reversal of form shown by both teams. Kansas has lost some of her best men and the rest of the team probably will not be in as good condition as it was in the indoor meet when Missouri won when they took the relay.
The Jayhawkers lost their best man in the broad jump when Treweke announced he could jump no more this year. The same bad leg which bothered him last year will keep him out for the rest of the season, his absence also will make it possible he may win in the high jump although Rice is probably capable of pulling down first place after his good showing in the Penn meet.
Missouri will have the edge on Kansas in the quarter mile and the relay because of the absence of Floyd Welsh who has enlisted. This will leave only O'Leary to fight it out for first place in the quarter, and the loss of Welsh will weaken the relay team materially.
The probable result of the meet follows;

Coach McCarty's protenges held their last practice yesterday afternoon before engaging in battle with their old rivals—the Tigers on McCook Field today. The Tigers are contested by bankers with thirteen games won already this season while the Jayhawks have won but three and lost one.
Although the dope favors the Tigers, the Kansas fans are looking for hard-fought games from start to finish, as the Jayhawkers always play their best game against Missouri. Whites may be the game they may be if it is safe to say that the Tigers will have to play their best brand of ball to win.
The Sigma Taus did not show up for their game with the Phi Alpha Deltates yesterday afternoon so the latter nine played the freshman nine and by a 9 to 6 score in a five innings game. A few of the spectators were used in their positions on both teams. Potts Clary and Freshman; Potts Potley Clark and Lefty Sproull p, Sproull and Clark, lb; N. Isenberger, b; Wenzel, 3b; R. Isenberger, ss; Bunn, If.; Slawson, cf.; Nettles and Montgomery, rf. The P. A. D. line-up was: Smith and Carter, e; Al. Abt, II.; Lobaugh, cf. Nettles, Ulbahr, 2b; Lobaugh, 3b; Bailey and Easton, ss.; Pedroja, i; Urhalu and Hershberger, cf; Filhn, rf.
One of the most exciting plays yet seen on Hamilton Field this season was made yesterday when Easton, who was playing short stop, ran at top speed to make a catch at second base and made a "flip-flop" over Wenzel, the freshman third baseman who was also running at top speed stealing second base. Neither one was hurt, however.
Ivan Allen has a bad looking finger, as the result of being spiked while stealing second base in the game yesterday afternoon. Sniffing up with the bat but while trying to catch a pitched ball in time to tag a runner.
Adrian Lindsey, one of the strongest candidates on the Jayhawk squad for second base, received his notice to report at the Officers' Reserve training camp at Ft. Riley yesterday. Bruce Baker, who was stationed in Alabama during the season, also received a notice to report at Ft. Riley. It is possible that two or three other members of the squad will be called this week.
Mermaids Answer Summons of Black Hand and--OoHh!

When forty coal black envelopes fell into the postoffice window at the ominous hour of midnight about a week ago, the clerk gasped, swallowed and wiped his eyes, carried an airplane gingerly at the landmarks sniffed suspiciously.
Now the forty women to whom they were addressed took the matter in different ways. 'Tis said a maid in the School of Medicine fainted and another perfect lady swore. Each person was summoned to the Gym at seven-thirty Wednesday night, and last night was the night.
A cool coal-break reception awaited them. Printed orders demanded that all attire themselves in swimming suits and knock three times on the door, and then pushed the victims into the inky wetness and then the fun started.
Some were made to swim sitting on chairs, some were U-boats, and there was a fat and a lean race. And then there were solid refreshments by candle light. And a dance. And then they had balloons. And in the forty black envelopes was solved.

K. U. STUDENTS WILL DANCE FOR RED CROSS
Helen Topping, Star of Many May Fetes, the Featured Performer
No society dame who ever broke into the pages of "Vanity Fair" with an account of an entertainment for the benefit of the Red Cross ever received a more cordial reception than he did. He is a U. student, who, with her Lawrence and Kansas City pupils, will give a dancing recital at the Bowersock Theater on May 22. Half of the proceeds of the performance will go to the Red Cross Fund. The entertainment is supervised by the supervision of the local organization.
Dancers well known to every K. U. student will participate in the performance. Miss Topping herself, who was for two years K. U.'s favorite dancer, will appear in several solos and in duet numbers with J. B. MeNaught. Helen Clark, of May Fete and "I if we Don" fame, will dance with Earle Boyd Metalf, another of Dory stars of former years Dorothy Johnson, C. Col Haz and Ruth Wiley, Annette Ashton, Delilah Johnson, and Coyetta Youmans are other K. U. folks who will take part.
An orchestra of several pieces will play for the show. Edna Davis fa'17, will be the featured vocal soloist. Little Miss Leora Siebert, one of Miss Topping's baby pupils from Kansas City, will dance on her toes. Several town pupils will also participate: Miss Linda Griffith, Miss Lucinda and June Griffith, and Mary Louise Marsh. Assisting Miss Topping will be J. B. McNaught and Miss Margaret Pettibone, of the Kansas City School of Ballet.
Miss Topping, who will be a featured dancer, and who has instructed the other performers in the production, attended the University for three years, during two of which she was a teacher at Hill. Since leaving the University, she has been conducting dancing classes in Kansas City and Lawrence.
Tickets for the event are now being sold by members of the local Red Cross organization. Two posters showing pictures of the dancers are on display in the windows at the University Book Store.

K. U. SHOULD LOOK TO REPLACING WAR LOSS
Universities Must Care for Social Reconstruction, Says Mrs. Cora Lewis
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 11, 1917.
STUDENTS SHOULD HELF
Passage of Income Amendment is Necessary to Success of State Schools
"Universities must prepare to do their work in the social reconstruction which will follow the war," said Mrs. Cora G. Lewis of the Board of Administration in convolution this morning, and to ensure that its work efficiently the passage of the permanent income amendment is necessary."
"Every University student and every alumnus who has not enlisted for military service should entail in their budget the permanent income amendment.
ORGANIZATIONS CAN HELP "A campaign of education will be necessary to convince the people of Kansas that the permanent income amendment is necessary and we welcome an efficient organization will be necessary. Woman's clubs, farmers' organizations, churches, every state association should be acquainted with the needs of the state institutions by students.
"Because of the war a large part of the work will have to be done by women. The work must begin now in order to be effective."
SHOULD EDUCATE STATE PEOPLE
"Kansas, one of the wealthiest states in the union, has forgotten its state institutions in the time of greatest prosperity. Arkansas and Oklahoma are the only states which appropriate less money for the maintenance of schools by the last legislature, $4,000,000 for all state institutions, equaled the money spent for motor cars in one week by Kansas."
A tendency to measure the value of everything in material terms is the greatest fault of the present generation, Mrs. Lewis said. The service which graduates run efficiency state cannot be measured by efficiency committees.
SENIORS ADMITTED TO BA
"It is the duty of a university first to lead the people to love it and then to influence the people to appreciate its ideals. It should teach them to spend their money for beautiful public buildings, parks, good pictures, good music, for everything that means a better education."
Twenty-two Men Passed Special Examination Yesterday Before Leaving for Fort Riley
Twenty-two Senior Law students were admitted to the Kansas bar in a special examination given in Topeka yesterday for those who intend to join some part of the army immediately. The regular bar examination is given in June, but on account of the large number of law students in the University and at Washburn who will attend the Reserve Officers' Training Camp, a special examination was granted.
Those admitted yesterday were:
John A. Hettinger, John P. Flinn,
John A. McLoughlin, J. M. Egan,
L. Baker, J. E. Gaitkill, Paul H.
Sauter, R. D. Sproul, A. Mitch-

Rader, Ivan A. Allen, H. F. Matton,
Frank H. McFarland, George H.
Beach, C. E. Carba, C. W. Baldwin
The men were not given certificates, but if they are in military service next June when the other men are sworn in, they will receive their certificates by writing. However, if they are not in some kind of military service then, they will have to take the regular examination.
NO CHANGE IN DANCE
RULES SAYS MRS. BROWN
"The dances given this week had special permission because many of the members of the organization giving the dance were leaving for Fort Riley." Mrs. Eustace Brown said this morning. "Next week the regular senate rules concerning dances will be in force."
No change in the date rule has been made.

The AHOKU (Athletic Helpers of K. U.) the organization that was formed last year by the Athletic Association in conjunction with the heads of the various schools of the University, has elected the following students as members for the ensuing year:
School of Law—Haroil Lynton, Walt
Lynton, Jared Jackson, Kenneth
Kenneth
College. H. Merle Hill, Herbert
Miller. G. Lynne, and Homer
K. Richardson.
School of Engineering — Joe R. Morschak, and Ray P. Walkers.
and Ray P. Walkers.
School of Pharmacy—Wesley M Childs.
George "Potsy" Clark was elected honorary member.
Officiers elected for next year were
Grant (president); Warren Watts
(secretary).
The organization is honorary and men are chosen as members because of their scholastic ability to assist the students. Teachers must keep eligible for the different teams.
"The AHOKU's," said Hake, "have exceeded anything that the founders had anticipated. The athletic coaches have nothing but favorable comments to make. The members of the schools as committees, with a chairman at their head, have been instrumental in keeping the athletes eligible for the various contests. The fact that only one athlete was declared ineligible during the entire year is proof of the work we have been doing."

To Give Alumni Dinner
FIFTY-SEVEN MORE ARE CALLED TO FT. RILEY
Officers' Training Camp Has Already Enrolled 122 Men From Lawrence
Following the report on the campus yesterday that no more Lawrence men would be chosen for the Officers' Training Camp at Fort Riley, the announcement this morning that fifty- and sixty-men were called camp as a surprise.
Laren man who receives a notice considers that his is lucky. In nearly every rooming house there are several applicants for the training camp, and consequently nearly everyone left behind some friend just as eager to go as he is. In some cases, one of two brothers, who applied together, is taken and the other is left. And so, while there is hilarious celebration in one rooming house where the camp has been received, there may be gooben in the room across the hall.
22 have been the men who have been called from Lawrence is 122. The great majority of these are University students, and the transfer wagons were busy in the student district hauling trunks all day. The general exodus is suggestive of the closing of school.
122 HAVE BEEN CALLED
There is hardly a class on the Hill that has not contributed some men to the training camp. Many of the classes have fallen off heavily in attendance as the vacant seats testify. All student activities are likewise affected, and athletic events and other entertainments are poorly attended.
Active training at the camp does not begin until Tuesday morning, but the men are making every effort to get installed at the camp this week. Some of the men who have been expecting a summons have had their trunks partially packed for several days.
The following is the third list of names of those ordered to report at the meeting.

PROF, A. L. OWEN WILL
PUBLISH NEW TEXTS
University Women's Association's annual spring business meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Frank Strong, Monday at 2:30.
Prof. H. W. Humble's book on Insurance is cited as authority for a principle of insurance law by Justice H. L. Benson, of the Supreme Court of Oregon in a recent decision. "I have no doubt that this will convince the people of Oregon of the necessity for the recall of judges," said Professor Humble when his attention was called to the case.
Two new Spanish texts will be published soon by Prof. A. L. Owen of the department of romance languages. The first, in press now, is "La Conjuración de veneña" by Francisco Martinez de la Rosa, the first play of the romantic period produced in Spain, 1834. It is a play in prose, which gives a vivid account of the great conspiracy. Venice of the Middle Ages in venice in the century. A biographical and critical study of the author, of whom nothing has been written in English before will precede the text.
Chancellor Strong received notice today of his appointment on the advisory committee for war service of the Association of State Universities, which convened in Washington last week. The other members of this committee appointed by Guy Potter Benton of the University of Vermont are: Charles R. Van Hise, president of the University of Wisconsin, Edmund J. James, president of the University of Illinois; A. Ross Hill, president of the University of Missouri.

SMALL AUDIENCE HEARS ST. LOUIS ORCHESTRA
Music Pleased Those Who Attended Concert in Gymnasium Last Night
The concert of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra last night at the Gymnasium drew a small but very appreciative audience.
Charles E. Galagher sang a bass solo from the invocation of Meyerbeer's "Robert le Diable." His voice exceeded the expectations of the audience. He responded to applause with a charming encore.
The second orchestral number, a suite from "Lalla Rookh," by Kroeger, was a delightful set of tone pictures, based on Thomas Moore's poem, "Lalla Rookh," the effect of which is oriental and mystic.
Director Zach began the program with Tschalkowski's Symphony No. 5, in E minor, in four movements. Tschalkowski, although not the most Russian of composers, is undoubtedly the greatest of Russian pianists. The opening symphony is mystifying and the mystery of speaking of fate, hope and life. The subject is truly enobling and majestic. The second movement is slow, and the third light and swift, being based on dancing sixteenth note figures. In the fourth and last movement the opening motto returns, grows wilder and more melfanchy, as if seven devils had been let loose, and ends in a clattering and dazzling chorus. The richity of the program, no encores were given after orchestral numbers.
Leonora Allen, the soprano soloist, sang an aria, "Depuis le Jour," from Charpentier's opera, "Louise." She very graciously sang two beautiful vocal pieces in a wonderfully clear soprano voice, of most colorful and pleasing quality.
The concert closed with a semi-popular number, the overture to Wagner's romantic opera, "Tannhauser." It began with the Pilgrims' Hymn and portrayed the departure of Tannhauser to the ariel land of "Being No More," ending with a return to the Pilgrims' Hymn.
TEACH FRENCH TO OFFICERS
Professor Appelboom's Services Hav Been Offered to Government as Ft. Riley Instructor
The variety and amount of the work which Professor Appelbom will do at the camp will be left in the hands of the War Department at the request of the Dean. The University will pay the salary of the instructor to the students, but the expenses while he is in camp the same as it does the other men.
The University of Kansas has sent word to Major-General Barry at Chicago offering the services of Prof. P. A. F. Appelboom as a teacher of French language, history, customs, and sports; and going to the Officers' Reserve Training camp which opens at Ft. Riley this week. Dean Oil Templin of the College has received a reply from the department at Chicago saying the letter has been sent to the War Department at Albany and thanking the University for offering the services of Professor Appelboom.
Professor Appelbom is a graduate of the naval academy of Holland. He was commended to the department at Chicago as an excellent student and teacher. He was eight years in the Dutch navy, three years in Paris and two years in Berlin. The offer of the university is part of the mission to place at the disposal of the government the trained teachers and experts of the teaching staff of the school in any way that will aid the nation in the war.
Prof. P. A. F. Appleboom of the department of romance languages who gave some lectures at the University of Michigan and Calvin College, Grand Rapids, Mich., last month with the aim of encouraging the study of the Dutch language and history received the request that his thesis be published. The study of Michigan should be published for the benefit of the Hollanders in that state. It will soon be issued by Erdman and Sevensmn of Grand Rapids.
Mechanical Engineers Elect

Plain Tales from the Hill
No dogs allowed at the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra concerts. That sign should be posted on the doors of all auditoriums where they play. Yes, it was a yapping dog that interrupted the Technikowsky's Symphony in E Flight. The conductor Conductor Zach to lose his customary calm and unimpassioned manner.

No reward is offered.
There is a carnival company in town, Honest. And there is a tent there where Forty-niners, look just like the gold-rush days too, dance every night to a barbarian melody. But hush, the Forty-niners of Monday night looked suspiciously like the Phi Kappas. And Wednesday night like the Phi Psis. And last night like the Pi U brothers. Next?
Social and personal: The carnival and a Gamma Phi Beta dance will be at Woodland Park Saturday night.
Lawson May, editor of the Plain Tales column went to Kansas City early this morning to meet a homeowner who had to return before noon. He has not.
A sure sign of spring—small attendance at convocation. But there was another reason this morning. The 500 students who have withdrawn because of the war, make a big gap in Fraser Hall.
There was a young lady named Jean,

"I just came up from dinner and believe me they feed you," he said. "I am sitting on my bunk writing this on my suit case. The reading room hasn't been fixed up yet so we have to loaf in the dorm. I am in a dorm with about twenty fellows. There are five or six from K. U. including Pluky Friend, W. W. Davis and Nigg."
Two hundred and twenty-one members of the faculty, not including their wives and children, have joined the Red Cross, Professor Van der Vries is working hard to make the number one thousand.
Raymond Clapper, graduate from K. U. department of journalism in 1916, writes the Kansan that he has been appointed Northwest bureau manager of the United Press. This bureau serves Minnesota, portions of Wisconsin, the Dakotas, Montana, Iowa, and Western Canada. He says he believes work in the department of journalism at this University means a lot to every man who expects to enter newspaper work.
Sigma Tau, professional engineering fraternity, gave their annual banquet at Brickens' Tuesday. Prof. C. C. Williams was toastmaster. The speakers were: Professor Wirt of Manhattan, Professor Sluss, Professor Whitaker and C. F. Sloan, B. I. Bower, L. M. Lull, and K. C. Veeder.
STUDENT DAY IS MAY 2
Speakers From All Schools to Talk at Final Convocation of Year—
Elect Representatives Now
Student Day, the get-together time for all the schools in the University, is May 25. Then students from every school meet at conventation in Fraser Chapel, and speakers tell the plans of their school for the next year. These representatives are to be elected immediately.
Student Day is Friday, just before quiz week, and it is the last opportunity for the whole University to get together this year.
Plans are being made by the different schools to elect their speaker. Representatives from the College, Schools of Law, Engineering, Medicine, Pharmacy, and Department of Journalism will be on the program.
CHARLES GRIESA SUGGESTS
PREPARING FOR TRENCHES
"Some of the war fund for Company M could well be spent for rubber boots, if the men are going to see actual service in the trenches," Charles Griesa told the students in convocation this morning. "The French government furnished no snow boots for its men during the winter campaign. This meant thousands of cases of 'trench feet' for the hospitals, often resulting in amputation."
W. B. Brown Ill
Griesa was with Section 65 of the American Ambulance Field Service, with her husband, Dr. Robert Griesa.
W. B. Brown, superintendent of the Journalism Press, is ill at his home It is likely that he will be able to return to his work early next week.
FOSTER'S RULING GETS VIRTUALLY NO RESULT
Prom and Soph Hop Statements Have Not Been Turned in to Registrar Foster
PROM ACCOUNTS BURNED
All Records of This Year's Big Social Event Lost in Pi U. Fire
No statements have been turned in to Registrar Foster since his recent order that all student organizations must submit a written statement of his qualifications as member of the Soph Hop, made one statement but this was done before Registrar Foster decided it was necessary for the managers of student enterprises to show receipts for any bills which appeared in their statements.
Since the first statement was made Mr. Bell has made no further statement and declares to Registrar Foster that Frank Gage took all receipts with him when he was called home by the illness of his mother. Mr. Bell was appointed to serve in the place of Frank Gage, who was registered as a temporary appointment was necessary to fill his job. Howard Fleeson told Registrar Foster that all receipts and accounts of the Junior Prom were burned in the fire which destroyed the Pi Upsilon house in April. No statement of the account of the party was received from the managers of this year's Prom by the Registrar before the fire. The Prom was better attended this winter than ever before and the same price of admission, $7, was paid. Registrar Bell's estimate placed the attendance at 306. Hop this year at 232, but he said at the time he gave out his only statement, that he was not even present at the Hop, but that the figures were furnished by him Mr. Gage. There probably were 250 at the Hop and 300 at the Prom this year.
The price of the Hop this spring was raised from $5 a couple to $5.50, and students who attended expressed the opinion that the expenses must have been much lower than any other time in the past.
Prominent students declare they charged too much for the Hop and the Prom, when they compare the prices with those of other nearby universities and colleges. At the University of Nebraska they price the cost of the year costs $2.50 to $3.50 couple. At the University of Nebraska the admission is generally $4 to the big party. Men at K. U. estimate they could put on a dinner dance at Hotel Muehlebach, Kansas City for the price of the Prom.
UNIVERSITY MEN PREFERRED
In List for Officers' Reserve Corps State Schools are Best Represented—Same in Missouri
The list of University of Kansas men who have been called to report at Fort Riley training camp is really a list of students from Lawrence would indicate.
In the list from Columbia, Mo., are the familiar names of Woody and Peebles, names connected with the Missouri football eleven last fall.
Among the names published this morning in addition to the Lawrence list are those of John C. Fast and J. A. Hettinger of Hutchinson; H. A. Garvie of Abilene; J. S. Dean and J. A. Weightman of Topeka and H. W. Verrison of Blue Rapids, all K. U. students. Fast and Vernon were regulars on the football team. The head of W. A. Pischer questioned out address, and Wilbur A. Fisher, senior in the department of journalism and former editor of the Daily Kansan is preparing to answer the question.
RED CROSS AND Y. W. C. A.
TO DIVIDE MAY FETE FUNDS
The historical pageant given by the University Y. W. C. A. Tuesday afternoon was not the financial success of other years. Instead of giving the entire profit to the Y. W. C. A. budget fund as is customary, plans were made to give part of the profits to the Red Cross.
The sum to be given was to be decided upon by the amount cleared. The sum to be made this decision Monday when it appoints the $170 taken at the Fete.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go for further than merely printing the news of university events; holds varsity; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be helpful; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university; to study the students of the University.
FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1917.
PERHAPS THIS WILL HELP
The action of the University business office in charge of Registrar Foster which has called for a reckoning with all students or organizations which handle student funds is to be commended.
The Kansan has done what it could to see this ruling made and enforced. If followed out to the letter, this plan will do away with the big grafts which it is always alleged that managers and committee chairmen make
In this way the character of managers will be protected from gossiping students and temptations will be removed from those who handle the money.
It is hoped that, with these stringent measures, next year's record will be free from graft and unfair practices.
INCONSISTENT FACULTY
Incidentally, the K. U. fair one who recently lost her twelve best men to the war had nothing on the valiant young recruit who kissed the hems of sixteen skirts before departing for Fort Riley.
There was once a faculty who taught in a University who believed that the University did not receive enough support from the people of the town and the people of the state. Not enough attention was paid to its needs or the things it was trying to do. And they tried to do everything in their power to win supporters for the University.
Now at this University a May Fete was given every year. And this particular year the fete began with a procession which marched along a street down to the field where the real program was given. The price of admission was twenty-five cents and a portion of the money went to the Red Cross. And the whole procession was lined with many faculty members who neglected to go down to the field and pay their quarters.
Consistency is as rare as it even was.
OUR GOODLY HERITAGE
It takes an outsider to really appreciate the beauty of scenery in the country around Mount Oread.
Freshmen marvel at the view, but as they become accustomed to it they never think there is anything out of the ordinary in the wide vistas of hill and valley, of farm and wood, of stream and upland.
One of the finest outlooks is that view veiled in the purple mists off across the Wakarusa toward Blue Mound. But whichever direction one looks from the Hill, there is a marvelous variety of scenery.
Many students are too busy think
ing of making Phi Beta Kappa, or how to "get by" without flunking in a certain course to enjoy these things. Students may well say with David of old: "The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; ye, I have a goodly heritage."
There are faded, tattered, and drooping flags hanging from many buildings. The students of the University feel that this is a poor show of patriotism, although it probably is not due to a lack of sincerity on the part of the owners. May the Stars and Stripes take the place of the almost unrecognizable emblems.
PATRIOTISM
Patriotism is difficult to define at any time, but during the present crises it is doubly elusive. One person calls the leading dallies for war news; another hangs a flag on the front porch while some one else sings the national air defiantly. Yet have any of these a suggestion of patriotic loyalty guaranteed to outlive the first attack?
Where is the individual whose devotion to country survives when danger is immediate,—when no spectacular display of sentiment is possible? Truly, patriotism—the staple, old-fashioned brand of our fathers—is almost a lost commodity. Enthusiasm today must be whetted by handmen all in gay uniforms parading juntly down the street, or else by an eloquent lecture given preferably by a foreigner. Naturally, patriotism of the good old days seems alluring with its reserve, dignity, and potential spirit ready at command, in comparison to the erratic and almost superficial type expressed today.
The stress of the war will test each citizen's patriotism. Plato's definition of a just man might be well applied: "To do the thing that one can do best of those things that need to be done most for the nation, constitutes consistent citizenship."
According to information from a local pulpit, the mother who said she did not raise her boy to be a soldier was the one who raised him to be a sweet, little, fluttering, purple-decked butterfly of a cigarette fiend who stood at the corners and loafed in the pool halls.

CAMPUS OPINION
Communication must be shared as an residence of good faith; names will not be published without the writer's consent.
BUT WHY THE COLEGE MAN?
Once more the accusing finger of scorn is raised against the college man. This time it is a serious charge—something more than maltie a petty attack against him like his molotov hazards. He is a "slacker", an object of public contempt. His spinal column is speckled with yellow configurations and he still wears his winter socks. His manhood has departed. He needs a necessity. Such is the brain-child of our native
As usual premature criticism is short-sighted. Those who would judge have done so with little evidence to substantiate their shameless abuse, and have totally ignored the most glaring preconditions of eviction from the college man. Simply because the college, by virtue of its organization and the fact that its roll embraces only men of military age, is peculiarly fitted for leadership, and they would throw upon it a responsibility which they would never dream of casting upon another branch of the college man with an expect of the college man more than his just share of the burden.
At the outset, let them go into any community and there choose a representative body of young men equal to those eligible in any university and compare the enlistment records of the two. Let them next seek out the motives that accuate the enlistment of the two bodies and calculate the element of sheer patriotism in each. Let them then find the real attitude of the two toward enlistment and see which is the noble—the officer, the driver, or that of the college man who is exercising the better patriotism of common-sense by waiting for a definite policy on the part of the government in order that he may make his services count for the most.
The university man is not "slacking"; he is thinking and preparing, and when the time comes for the proof of his patriotism, he will stand forth in his true light and none will be ashamed—College Man.
COLLEGES IN WAR
SITUATION AT OHIO
Mary Roberts Rinehart in a recent magazine article tries to express the feelings of an American mother when her country summon her sons to war.
Everything—everybody—about the campus feels keenly the vacant spots which those who have already depart have left behind them. As more leave the sense of separation will be even more keenly felt.
We wonder if a college, if she could express her feelings, wouldn't be found to experience somewhat the same sentiments as those which Mrs. Rinehart portrays for the mother—anguish over the parting with her loved ones, coupled with a surge of concern for the way in which they respond.
While we are feeling all these things, however, there yet is a sense of gladness that the men of the university have not been slow to recognize their responsibilities and that those of us who remain are doing so because we feel that our place is still here.
We have not appreciated, perhaps,
just how much our friends have
meant to us, until they begin to go
away from us to take their places in
America's line of defense. The places
that we'll be behind will not be
easily filled.
It is with no sentimentality, but with all earnestness, that the university says: "We are sorry to give you the opportunity to do otherwise."—Ohio State Lantern.
Just who will command the new company has not been definitely decided, but it is understood among Baker bays that Prof. F. P. Walker, dean of the School of Engineering of Kansas University, will captain them. Dean Walker has had military experience and is a college man. The boys feel he would be the man for the place..Baker Orange.
The Baker-Baldwin military company which has been hanging fire for several days was an assured fate late Friday evening when 72 men had signed up, in the new organization as a unit of the Third Regiment of Infantry of the Kansas National Guards, which is being organized in the state. A number of alumni have written in stating their desire to join, and it is expected the enlistment will soon begin. The alumni who are contemplating enlistment in their Alma Mater company are urged to hurry in their applications before the places are all filled. Those enlisting in the new company can go to the training camps, and later to the front, with the boys from home immediately with the conscripted bunch to be organized next summer.
THE BAKER COMPANY
STILL WORK TO BE DONE The University of Michigan has not suspended.
In all this furor and excitement incident to the war, there are many students abroad on the campus who seem to be laboring under the delusion that the serious part of the year's scholastic activities is over, even though the doors have closed for months and who continue to entertain this notion are going to be surprised and disappointed next June unless they change their tactics soon. Class room work is just as necessary now as it has ever been. To date there are no professors who have gone on retreat in the summer or one in their courses will receive a passing grade in June, irrespective of the quality of their work. Hence, it behoves those who seem to be enjoying a mid-semester vacation to awaken from their dreams of a possible leuconancy or free trip to Europe with expenses, and not just to take old textbooks and the interior decorations of the Library—Michigan Daily.
BEAUTY POSSESSED BY ALL
Has it ever occurred to you that the most beautiful things in life are the common things—things which a pauper may possess as well as a prince, things which plowman and poet may claim with equal right? For is it not the sea, the sibilant-whispering ocean, the shores and, in whose passionate embrace are nestled myriad argioseis—is not the sea with its wealth of wonder and mystery, the heritage of all? Is not the splendor of the sun yours and mine as well as Shakespeare's? Shall not the serenity of midsummer skies bring us solace as well as him who "sitteth in the seats of the mighty"? Let a man have business with the shearers. The music of the summer rains shall fill his soul with gladness, and the song of the lark shall give him kinship with the Infinite.
He shall have fellowship with the grass and the flowers and the trees, and the slow winding river and the majestic mountains be of his brotherhood. Before his eyes shall pass the scarlet-clad glory of Autumn and always for him in life—a wondrous tapestry, woven anew each day from the warp and wool of common things, but of imperishable beauty, because designed and patterned by a Weaver whose name is God.—F.

FIVE HUNDRED ANSWER CALL OF GUN AND HOE
Ranks of University Have Been Depleted of Nearly One- Fourth of Students
More than five hundred students have withdrawn from the University to serve their country in one capacity or another. The college, with the largest enrollment of all of the schools had lost 434 students up to May 4. The School of Medicine has enrolled more than 100 students the War Department to retain students needed for skilled medic men in the war.
The School of Engineering lost 96 men in withdrawals for all sorts of war work. The School of Law is next with 54 withdrawals, while the School of Medicine four, and the School of Pharmacy seven. These figures are to May 4.
Many students have gone into Company M, the University company, or H, the down town organization, while some have gone home and joined military units in their home town. Approximately ten per cent of the men have gone into the regular army. The School of Medicine at Rosedale lost seven men from the present senior class.
Some of the men have left school to work in place of enlisted men. One student withdrew to do army Y. M. C. A. work. Several of the engineers have withdrawn to take the full course in munitions making and the other shop courses. Many left work in the reservoirs, repairing others like University take or prepare to take examinations for officers in the regular army.
Dean Templin has received many letters from the better class of farmers over the state protesting against the great number of farm workers in the military unit when those places could better or just as well have been filled by city boys or men. They consider it a great loss to them because they depend to a great extent upon their young boys to handle the huge amount of labor that is not able to harvest the crop if the present exodus continues and they feel that ordinary labor will not fill the places left by the young farmers.

MANY JOBS FOR STUDENTS
Secretary Wedell Does Not Like Way Men Give Up Work Near End of Term
There are many jobs waiting at the University Y. M. C. A. Mr. Wedll said he had table waiting, stenographic, dishwashing and odd jobs.
There has been a great deal of complaint about the students for whom the Y. M. C. A. has found work, quitting their jobs during the last month of school, or when they could see their teacher in class without working. This brings about considerable confusion and loss for those who employ the students.
The Y. M. C. A. has very strong feelings with regard to the men who throw up their jobs when people have depended on' them. The names of those who have thrown up their jobs will be put on the black list unless they come in and offer a good excuse for leaving. These men who have not sufficient excuses, will have difficulty in getting jobs in the future.

SUMMER SESSION AT OREAD HIGH SCHOOL
Many Teachers Desire Practical Training During Summer Months
Summer Session Students
The Oread Training School will open its first summer session June 14. This new department of the school comes in response to a growing demand for the training work of teachers to be extended into the school system. The recognition that has been given the graduates from the School of Education, by the school boards and superintendents in the State, because of the fact that they have had actual experience in teaching has brought about a rapid development in their equipment, courses of study, and methods or administration have been brought to a high standard.
High school students find the very best of opportunities in the Training School for doing good thorough work in all lines of work, the spirit of teamwork is genuinely appreciated and wholesome. The Student Government Association and General Assembly are unique features of student participation in the life of the school, and most importantly invited to visit the Oread Building and the School at any time.
Classes in practically all of the regular lines of high school work will be offered according to the enrollment. Each student will be limit-recite for double periods so that full half units of credit will be completed in the nine weeks. All recitations will be held in the foreroom. The laboratory work in science will be limited to four regular laboratory days twice a week. The tuition will be five dollars for the term. All of the work will be

M. U. WINS 7 TO 0 IN FIRST BALL GAME
Errors Responsible for Large Count Against Kansas Players
TIGERS PLAY LIGHT GAME
Captain Smee Called Home Because of Death of His Father
Playing an air-tight brand of ball, the Tigers won from Coach McCarty's protges yesterday afternoon on McCook Field by a 7 to 0 score, making fourteen straight victories to their credit.
Although the Tigers were accreted with six scores, they earned but two. One of these was made in the fourth inning when Giltner hit and was scored by a hit by Stemmons, and the other run was in the eighth when Slusher singled and was scored on a three-base hit by Dippold.
SCORED IN FIRST INNING
SCORED IN FIRST
The Tigers stalled the scoring in the first half when McMillan drew a pass to first and advanced to third when Poirier made a wild throw first base to throw Slusher out. McMillan then took home when Poirier made a high pitch. Carter recovered the ball and threw it in plenty of time to hit McMillan, but pointed the ball. Poirier redefined himself for making these two errors, however, by fanning the next three men to bat.
Coach Brewer's proteges added two more runs in the fourth inning on two hits, a walk, and an error. The first of these runs was earned. The Tigers did not score again until the seventh inning when they succeeded. Itnummed a second more runs on two errors. The other earned run was made in the eighth inning. Their last run came in the ninth inning on an overthrow by Carter third base.
WEBER WIELDS THE WILLOW
Weber, Kansas right fielder, the highest batting average he made two clean hits of three times up, and could have had a third hit, but it was pulled out of the air by Giltner who made a hard run and with one hand pulled the ball out of the air. The crowd cheered again when Taylor, Kansas left fielder, cut off a three-bagger by a one-handed catch. Slusher, Tiger first baseman, the only outfielder to score on the game, chased out on the ground with one foot on first base and catching a wild throw from shortstop.
The Jayhawker nine was greatly crippled by the absence of Captain Smee, the heavy slugger, who was called home after he had taken his place. It is not known whether he will be back in time to play this afternoon.

SPORT BEAMS
The uncertain outcome of the Missouri-Kansas annual classic track meet tomorrow afternoon is evidenced by the fact that Wear and Monty the Kansas sport writers disagree in their stories about the probable outcome. Wear wrote a story moderated in which he said the dope favored Kansas and Monty has a story today in which he says Missouri has the edge on Kansas.
Despite the fact that he made one costly error, Connie Poirier, the diminutive but speedy Jahlawk pitcher, played the best brand of ball of any of the players. The fact that he held the slugging Tigers nine to six hits shows that he was playing a hard and heady game. His quality is also
shown by the fact that just when he started out of the track house to McCook Field the heavy door of the track house swung shut catching his thumb and smashed it sufficiently that blood spurt from the injury. He played with his right thumb bandaged up.
Joe Pratt, short stop also played a fast game for Kansas although he was also charged with two errors. The way he scooped the fast hard grounders and backed the other base runners in a spectacular little but fast short stop of last year. He also connected for one of the Kansas hits.
Chuck Chase played up to his form and made a hit nine putouts and one assist. He did not make a single error out of a large number of chances which seemed almost impossible for him to get.
Besides being one of Missouri's best basketball and baseball players, Slusher is also a singer of some fame, among his fellow athletes. He belongs to the Riley-Morris-Slusher trio which furnishes the entertainment of the rest of the baseball squad on the field. Once the entertainment was given in the grandstand yesterday afternoon when the squad took shelter to avoid the rain when the squad first started to practice for the game.
Coach Venne's Haskell Indian nine is scheduled to meet the Baker nine on the Haskell diamond Monday afternoon. The Haskell Indian nine is going this year and will probably make things lively for the Baker nine.
Chicken Without a Tail Is Latest Nature Freak
in this progressive age we hear of wireless telephones, eyeschif fish, smokeless powder, noiseless guns, brainless students, heartless proffs, and pepless schools. But who ever heard of a tailless chicken?
You don't believe it? Well there are several of that unique species of the hen family, right here at Kay You they are down at the poultry pen, just west of the animal house. These chickens are just like any other normal chicken, except that where their own parents sit at all." These chickens are being grown by the zoology department as an experiment.
Besides the tailless chickens the zoology department, has a bevy of quails, several turkeys, hares of all colors, and a pair of prairie dogs.

Captain Rodkey Holds Tha Missouri Has Edge on Kansas Track Team
Captain Rodkey of the Jayhawker track squad, said this morning that by being very optimistic he believed the annual classic Kannas-Missouri track meet tomorrow afternoon would be decided by the relay. He said his team would have a little edge on Kansas although it is not known just how many of the Tiger point winners have enlisted and will not be able to compete.
Whatever may be the final outcome of the meet it is certain that it will be close and exciting and that Kansas has a fall show to win. Kansas has lost a couple of good men and they still hold off, they hold off men left and they will come in for their share of points in the meet tomorrow.
The feature of the meet will be the appearance of Captain Bob Simpson, the Tiger world champion of the hurdles in the hurdle events. Captain Rodkey said he did not believe that Kansas would even have a "look in" in these two events. Although the "Bowworth flier" will have little competition in the hurdle events, a great team of John Harkins and Jake Frass we have seen Johnson working out at the broad jump on McCook Field for the last two weeks, think that he will have considerable competition in this event.
Probably one of the most hotly contested events in the meet will be the mile race. Sproull has been going good in practice and Captain Rodkey said that Sproull had a mighty good chance to win it. It is not known yet whether there will be a javelin event or not, and there is no dope as to the relative strength of the two teams in the event as it will be the
first time that it has ever been counted as an event in Missouri Valley Conference meets if it is held tomorrow
The Kansas entries in the different events will probably be: 100-yard dash, Davidson and Noel; 220-yard dash, O'Leary and Crowley; 440-yard dash, O'Leary; half mile, Captain Rodkey, and Murphy; mile, Sproull, Howland and Staterley; two-mile, Stateler and Groene; 220-yard hurdles, Casey; 120-yard muddles, Casey; Hickman, Sicca, Hicera, Woodward and polevault, Pattinson; high jump, Rice and Miller; broad jump, Johnson and Grutzmacher; relay, Murphy, Sproull, Crowley, O'Learay and Captain Rodkey.
By being optimistic, Captain Rodkay said he would predict the follow-

Frank G. Smith of Kansas City to Deliver Baccalaureate Address
BRYAN TALKS WEDNESDAY
Seniors Do Not Have to Attend Exercises to Get Their Degree
Forty-fifth annual commencement exercises of the University of Kansas begins Sunday, June 3, when the Rev, Frank G. Smith, pastor of the First Congregational Church, Kansas City, Mo., delivers the beccalaurate address. The following three days will be devoted to concerts, ball games, and banquets ending with an address by William Jennings Bryan in Robinson Gymnasium Wednesday morning.
MEMORIAL EXERCISE TUESDAY
The chief attractions on the program Monday, June 4, will be a ball game between the alumni and seniors. Short plays by the dramatic art class will be given for the benefit of the dramatic fund. Dean L. E. Sayre will give a reception at his home Monday evening.
MEMORIAL EXERCISE TUESDAY
On the following day the seniors will breakfast at eight o'clock and attend the class day exercises at eight-thirty o'clock. The Robinson memorial exercises and the presentation of a memorial tablet will be held in Fraser Hall at nine-thirty o'clock Chancellor Strong, Miss Kate Stephens, and Scott Hopkins will speak.
The alumni address will be given at eleven o'clock by J. M. Challis, LL.B.,94. A senior and alumni class luncheon will be served on the University campus at twelve o'clock. The afternoon will be devoted to concerta and music. Reception to be given by Cancellor and Mrs. Strong at eight-thirty o'clock will be followed by the Senior-Alumni Ball in Robinson Gymnasium.
SENIORS DO NOT HAVE TO STAY
William Jennings Bryan will speak at ten o'clock Wednesday morning. Immediately afterward, the degrees will be conferred.
A recent act by the State Legislature has made it possible to resume the custom, abandoned last year, of giving free tickets for the University dinner to graduating students, alumni, and members of the faculty.
SENIORS DO NOT HAVE TO STAY The Senate rule that seniors must stay for commencement in order to get their degrees will not be enforced. The senate also said, It would be impossible for someone to return, and many seniors are now on farms. Many, however, will come back for commencement week.
Students and Professors Eat Out Sunday Nights
So Lawrence eats out, and the cash registers of the hotel and dollars register.
Lawrence "eats out" on Sunday night. Cooks and waiters in the boarding houses have to take their Sunday afternoon walks or joyrides or other recreation and of course they can't be bothered by going back to six when the pahson begins to talk at seven and won't do to be late.
First and continuously come the dates. They drop in after the weekly trip to Haskell or before they start up the river. They order pickles and chocolate-caramel-p e a n u t-marshallow-cherry eclairs and other things. And yet they live to do it again.
Then come the family parties. Mr. and Mrs. Professor and little Mary come over and order chicken dinners. Then in the eloquent hush while the perspiring pianist rests after "Poo." He's now ready to berg, "Daddy, please let me have the lettuce in your salad to take home to my bunny."
Finally, after the family parties and the dates have gone, the woman-haters and the bachelor maids appear, in little groups, with malice aforethought proudly ignoring each other's existence.

TRAINING STARTS AT FORT RILEY TUESDAY
Men Have to Wash Windows and Scrub Floors the First Day
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 14, 1917.
Real work in military training will start at Fort Riley tomorrow, according to letters from former K. U. students this morning. The first day in camp have been spent washing windows and sweeping and scrubbing floors and walks. One of the first tasks was to learn to make beds.
The regular work will include physical drills, study of soldiering, marching and standing, signaling, and guard duty. The care of the crew also occupy a part of the time. No regular work is scheduled for Saturday.
More than two thousand men are enlisted in the camp and they have been assigned to companies. A four mile hike, although not on the regular program for the week was scheduled for today.
A large number of students from the University of Missouri are enlisted in the camp and the majority of the colleges of Kansas are represented by her alumni. Good food and good cooks were mentioned in the letters this morning and the men said it was a live place.
FRASER HALL GETS WIRE CAGE
New Equipment for University Post Office to Comply With Regulations
The postoffice in Fraser Hall is now properly enclosed with a wire cage, according to government regulations. It has also been changed to the north of the one formerly used for the purpose—to accommodate the cage.
Registrar Foster is the official postmaster for the University, but he is not allowed inside the steel cage. Only a clerk, sworn into government service, according to civil service rules, can handle the business. Miss Orphana Wilbur is now official postmistress.
Failure to comply with government regulations would mean either a fine for the University or closing up the Hill station.
STUDENTS WHO WHTDREW
GET CREDIT-CHANCELLOR
"Seniors who withdrew from the University to work on farms will get their credits this spring," Chancellor Strong announced this morning.
Underclassmen will be given credit in September after a report of their work this summer has been received by the University." Enlisted men were granted their credits without conditions.
The Kansan Board, department of journalism students who edit The Daily Kansan, will be elected for the coming year at a meeting of the present board May 23. Don Davis, who has been elected editor-in-chief works with the Kansan school, till the same office the first two weeks next year.
Editors on the Kansan are elected for one month terms. Many of the present Kansan board are seniors or have left school to take military training. The candidates will be based on the work in journalism done by candidates.
KANSAN BOARD TO ELECT
MEMBERS FOR NEXT YEAR
The work of Edna Osborne, a graduate student in the University, is gaining wide recognition. Yesterday her poem, "A Large Kansas Garden," appeared in the Kansas City Star. The subject of the poem was taken from one of the peasant girls in the "Chimes of Normandy," given in the early winter by the students in the School of Fine Arts.
Her Poem Published
The Gamma Phi Beta sorority will entertain with a dance Saturday night at Woodland Park. Mrs. Owen, in woodland park, Simonds of Kansas City will chaperon.
Mike Glitter and Charles Morgan of the University of Missouri are guests at the Sigma Chi house.
NO MILITARY PLANS FOR COMING SEMESTER
Raising of Draft Age May Bring Service Training to the University
No plans for military training have been made by the University authorities for next year. The uncertainty pervading all departments makes such plans impracticable, Chancellor Strong thinks.
The raising of the draft age to twenty-one may increase the enrollment for next year above the number looked for and so make military students more likely. It probably will adopt plans suggested for American colleges by the Council of National Defense. The conference of representatives of American colleges at Washington last week recommended continuing their college work if possible.
Chancellor Strong has been appointed a member of the advisory committee for war service for the Association of State Universities. He is also president of Charles R. Van Hise, president of the University of Wisconsin, A. Ross Hill, president of the University of Missouri, and Edmund J. James, president of the University of Illinois. Two years of military training are required by Missouri to be a Missouri also offers a two-year course. If a student passes the examinations at the end of the second year he is prevented second lieutenant.

NINE WOMEN AWARDED "A'S" AT ANNUAL DANCE
More Letters May be Won at Spring Tennis Meet to be Held Soon
The Woman's Athletic Association gave its annual "dress-up" party in Robinson Gymnastium Saturday night. During the intermission Mrs. Charles Esterly made the athletic awards for the year. The cup won in the basket-tower by the junior class was received by Capt. Tucker. The swimming meet cup was received by Capt. Doris Drought of the freshman class.
Athletic "A's" were awarded to women of the University who have earned four hundred or more points, according to the point system outlined in the constitution of the Woman's receiving points were: Seniors, Esther Rhuland; juniors, Frieda Daum and Lucie Sterling; sophomores, Helen Wagstaff; Darlene Woolsey, and Lucy Heathman; freshmen, Doris Drought. Miss Drought was the only freshman girl receiving her letter. It very self-reliant that a sufficient number of points were during the freshman year to entitle one to the Athletic "A."
Eight women received "The Circle," an emblem awarded only to those who have previously been awarded the athletic "A," and who have since earned 150 points. Those receiving the "Circle" were: Seniors, Miriam Jones, Cora Shinn, and Lottie Martin; junior, Ruth Endacott, Dorothy Tucker, Sarah Trant, Dorothy Querfeld, and Joyce Brown.
Owing to the fact that after this year the tennis tournament will be held in the fall, some awards may be made after the tournament this spring. This will be done so that no points may be sacrificed. The fact that the weather is so uncertain during the spring months is the cause of changing the time of the tennis tournament.

KANSAS ENGINEER" READY
Faculty, Students, and Alumni Contribute Varied Articles to Engineering Magazine
The Kansas Engineer will be on sale Wednesday, according to Charles Sloan, editor. One of the special features of this year's Engineer is an article by Dean P. F. Walker on, The Industrial Development in Kansas. Andrew Walsh has done much research work along the line and his many speeches over the state have boosted industrial development in Kansas.
Another interesting section of the Engineer is twenty pages of alumni news, notes and letters. Members of classes as early as 1894 are contrib- tive to this paper. Some spicy and interesting campus notes add local interest.
Twenty-five students have contributed to this issue "The New Kaw River Bridge at Lawrence", by Dean E. Ackers is accompanied by many interesting pictures of the bridge during construction.
Prof. A. A. MacMurray, of the department of public speaking, will leave for Troy, Kansas, today where he will give a commencement address and evening he will speak at the high school commencement at Ellis.
Prof. Elise Neenschwander will have charge of the Oral French class at 3:30 o'clock Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in F108.
Perhaps sometimes the University authorities will make us turn in itemized accounts of our Christmas shopping.
Plain Tales from the Hill
HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Five years ago the girls used to make Welsh rarebits in the chafing dish. Now the fashion is Rum Tiddy. Use a well advertised soup in place of milk. Cheese is still the rudimentary idea, however.
Divinity and Fudge have been replaced by Sorghum Brittle, using a much nutpuff up breakfast food for nuts.
Root-beer smoothies are made at the fountains now instead of ice cream sundae.
Hamburgers come either ten or thin. Which is to say that you can get them for ten cents or they come thin as the proverbial postage stamp. And no more do the co-eds embroider guest towels. They tat or knit. To knit has become a famous war cry. To knit has a whole sock without leaving a hump. And the movies are still well patronized.
How's this from the newly elected cheerleader? At that oft-mentioned carnival, fete de tents, Rusty Friend happened to be watching the dancing girls the other evening. One of the beautiful dancing girls tapped Rusty on the shoulder and asked him to dance. But Rusty had a date and was horribly enjoying himself but werent able to hush the girl by saying "No." To what the dancer replied, "Oh, you're not dancing this evening, Rusty?"
But we have to tell the end of this You see, the entire thing was a put-up job for which the lady received a quarter. Rusty is innocent.
Whoaouganha be the first one to appear on the Hair wearing a straw hat!
We wait with fear. And the glad hand.
Rollo Harger, instructor in chemistry, must be polite. This story shows it. He was busy working in the Chem building the other day. Saw two strange women looking around. Congratulating himself of the chance to do something for the Permanent School, he and two strangers the University in its working clothes, he asked permission to show them over the building.
Well, everything from the didoes to the hickey was explained. Then they came out and
"Where is your home?" asked the modern Sir Launcelot, intending may be to report to their congressman that he had seen them.
"Oh, we really haven't any home; we wrote the carnival, they sweetly replied."
Anyway, Rollo must be polite.
Seriousness is the spice of life. Even in these war times folks get serious. The latest is one maiden on the Hill who has called Sergeant Cormack of company M the best looking man in the company. And she meant it, too.
And to think he is tied up with the army.
Loving cups not always are made of silver and gold. The latest is one of good old Oread clay. The University of Kansas Alumni Association of Pittsburgh, Penn., has asked for a loving cup of clay from Mt. Oread. A three handed cup, eight inches wide, with a six inch base has been made by the team historians. The K. U. monogram is printed on three sides with an inscription running around the top. To Hue to Thee, our Alma Mater, Hall to K. S. U.
Kenneth Lott, an authority on sleep, is also an expert detectif. He can purlon even from thieves. Kenneth went on a hike to Woodland Lake where he saw maid was along. While gathering sticks to roast witches, Kenneth saw two small boys running with sacks of grub. He gave chase, and the boys dropped the grub when in danger of it, so Lott's party had lots of extra eats.
The point: The food originally belonged to another picnic party at Woodland who still think the small boys got the grub.
John Drury is a scientific ruff rider.
He causes a whole carnival to marvel
It happened Sat, nite at Woodland
The carnival, yknow, offered five (V)
beans to any one who could ride the
balking donkey. So John sees a home-
town boy with a tame donkey, docile
and domesticated. He offers the boy
fifteen cents rent, and bravely rides
up and down Midway while poets and
peasants wonder and Jayhawkers
stand against.
It is alleged the carnival management offered Drury the five beans, but that was too much for his honest heart.
Double-U Double-U Hawkins teaches German and canoeing. Usually he believes in equal rights in toting paddles riverward. But Sunday he met his match. His young lady friend insisted he carry both paddles, and he did. The y. l. f. is a journalist. Draw your own moral.

FOSTER GIVES WARNING TO FUND TREASURERS
Registrar Sends Out Final Letter Requesting Statements of Organizations
ONLY ONE REPORT GIVEN
Itemized Account of Symphony Orchestra Concert Given—Frosh Turned in $7
"The report of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra concert, turned in by Dean Butler this morning, is the only statement of receipts and expenditures the Registrar's office has received," Registrar George O. Foster said this morning, following his recent notice.
ITEMIZED ACCOUNTS NECESSARY
"All managers of social affairs and officers of organizations have received warning. Some statement of estimated expenditures must be turned in even if records were destroyed. Neither Howard Fleeson nor Harry Montgomery, managers of this year's Prom, have turned in such a report. The freshman president, Mark Adams, left 7 at the office before he withdrew from the University, but he left no statement.
"A letter will be sent to all class officers and managers this week. This will give them one more chance to turn in statements before the Univer- authorities take action on the matter, and that is necessary that an itemized account, including all received bills, be turned in to the registrar's office."
A letter, requesting all organizations handling student money to file records of all receipts and expenditures at once, was sent out by Mr. Foster Wednesday. The letter should have been responded to immediately as the regulation of the University Senate requires all such organizations keep a set of books, furnished them by the Senate.
It has been practically impossible to audit accounts of organizations this year, it is said. Reports of mishandling of student funds have caused the Registrar to demand the accounts. If they are filed at the Registrar's office, the character of students who manage student affairs will be free from question, Mr. Foster said.
REGISTRAR ACTS ON REPORTS
KANSAS WINS IN TENNIS
Captain Cowgill and Kenneth Uhls
Get Revenge for Other Defeats
at Hands of Tigers
While Coach Brewer's baseball nine was defeating Coach McCarty's proteges for two straight games Thursday and Friday on McCook Field, the Jayhawker tennis team represented by Capt. Elvin Cowill and Kenneth Uhls were defeating the Tiger tennis team at Columbia.
With an even break in the singles, the Tiger tennis rackets lost the dual meet to the Jayhawker players Saturday afternoon by dropping three sets out of four in the doubles to the Kansas racket wielders. Newell and Warner of Missouri started off in the doubles by losing the first two sets to Uhls and Captain Cowgill, 3-7 and 1-6. The Tigers showed a reversal of form, however, and won the third set, 6-4. The fourth was neck-and-neck, but Kansas finally nosed out, 14-12.
Friday morning Uhls won from Warner of Tigerdom in the first set of singles, 1, 5-6, 3-6, while Captain Cowgill lost to Newell, 0-6, 2-6, 3-6, morning the Tigers obtained an all-around winning set in the singles. Captain Cowgill lost to Warren, 2-6, 3-6. Uhls won from Newell, 8-6, 6-3, and 6-3. The Jaywhakers will play the Cornhuskers at Lincoln Friday and Saturday.

"Tin not what man does which ex-
plicitly but what man would do!"
Browning
BEGIN YOUR SPRING DRIVE!
Only two more weeks of classroom and laboratory work and then-quizzes!
Notebooks will be called in, term themes, reports, and themes will be due, and the Gentleman Behind the Desk will begin to make suggestive remarks as to the awful things he intends to spring during that week of exams.
Meanwhile, the days and the nights are cool; the chairs in the library are no harder than they ever were; and your work calls.
Are you going to do it now, or wait 'till the last few days before the term closes, and then rush it through in an agony of haste?
Begin your spring drive!
SOMEBODY BLUNDERED
Maybe Mr. Foster would get more results in his anti-graft campaign if he offered a prize of $100 to the student manager or committee chairman who could prove that he had coped the most grapes during the school year.
"Harmony" is the keynote of Utopians. That's all right; it's a good one. But how that harmony can best be produced raises a very difficult question. The try-outs of the plans of Plato, Sir Thomas More, Saint Simon, and others, as well as the different attempts at the founding of socialistic colonies, have so far failed to attain this ideal. But the thing that loops up as the most determining factor in these failures is the fallacious idea that variation is incompatible with harmony. Human experience has practically proven that our paramount duty is not to make our sentiments and feelings identical, but rather to learn how to get along with each other regardless of our likes and dislikes.
The Utopians would sing in unison; they would paint in but one shade or color. They have but followed the path of the majority and taken one of the extremes—not that of tedious complexity, but rather that of monotonous simplicity.
Hence, is the Utopia after all the ideal state of society? Or have the philosophers given us the wrong definition of an Utopia?
Skin Greaver disagrees with the Kansan in that University men are preferred for the training camp at Fort Riley. "They took my little brother," amends Skin, "and turned me down. And my kid brother only has a high school education."
OUT OF THIS WAR
"The United States of America has championed the ideas of universal peace in order to be able to devote
our industrial attention to money-making and the enjoyment of wealth, and to save the three hundred million dollars which they spend on their army and navy; they thus incur a great danger, not so much from the possibility of a war with England or Japan, but precisely because they try to exclude all chance of contest with opponents of their own strength, and thus avoid the stress of great political emotions, with out which the moral development of the national character is impossible. If they advance farther on this road, they will one day pay dearly for such a policy."—From Bernhardi's "Germany and the Next War."
This extract shows the old fallacy still held by not only Bernhardi, but also Nietzsche, Treitschke, and other German statesmen—that war is essential for moral development.
One of the greatest blessings that will come out of the present war will be a revolution in the philosophical principles in Germany, such as there was in the religious principles there in Luther's time. Their ideals are so repugnant to the moral sense of the rest of the world that such German philosophers as these cannot even look their fellow patriot, Machiavelli, in the face without blushing. Even Bismarck was too shrewd to accept the philosophy in toto.
The above quotation from Bern-hardi is so deceptive and fallacious on its face that it is really pathetic.
War will promote national moral development? Yes, it will—for Germany at least,—insofar as it will wipe out the abnormale idea.
"Closer relationship between faculty and students." The K. U. man at Fort Riley who announces in one breath that "Pluky Friend, W. W Davis and Art Nigg" are in the training camp certainly must have been a supporter of the Havekort ticket.
ONLY A WORM
The time for the elm tree worm has arrived the skinny, slimy, nervy, stretchy, dangly elm tree worm. In lovely festoons from the trees they are beginning to hang wrigly, squirmy and multitudinous. They love to nestle in the wavelike tresses of fair college maidens and slip down the inside of the snowy collar of the gallant college youth. They are touching creatures, with soft and clinging tenderness. So fond are they of the human species that they swing daintily from their silken trapezes until someone comes along and affords them a landing place.
Feel a squirring down your neck?
Never mind, it's only a worm.
BEWARE THE "WAR BLUES"!
All of America's future hopes rest on the one word "production."
We can produce the greatest only by setting in action all available sources of energy. This cannot be done by idleness. Neither can it be accomplished by withholding money from circulation, for money is the equivalent of labor. The man of today who remains idle or hoards his money is on a par with the man who blows up munitions plants.
If you don't want to invest your money in real estate, buy an automobile; if you can't command a regiment, then hee corn.
At least, the dog that got up on the stage and yawned during the symphony concert was frank in expressing his opinion.
A very learned professor of the University of Chicago has recently stated that to be in love is to be insane. Is K. U. a University or an asylum?
"Fifty-seven more are called to Fort Riley"—Kansas headline. Are they Mr. Heinz's famous varieties?
Of course you're going to wear a tag in order that Company M will have a sufficient number of blankets and adequate medical aid.

GERMAN GROWING POPULAR
Teutonic Language Has Place in Curriculum of 278 High Schools in State of Kansas
The study of German is steadily rising in favor among the pupils of the high schools of Kansas. In the annual University of Kansas News Bulletin, issued to the Kansas high school teachers, statistics show that there has been a steady increase in the study of German the last twelve years.
In 1905 the number of high school pupils enrolled in German courses was 3,017 but now the number has increased to 9,885. Just this last year there has been an increase of a thousand and pupils over last year. In 1905 there were only ninety-three high schools which offered the study of German; now 278 schools have added German to the course of study.
There are now 3,000 German teachers in Kansas, and the demand for them is growing.

DUAL MEET 65 TO 44
Bosworth Star Broke World's Record and Annexed 21 Points to Tiger Total
WAR WEAKENED KANSANS
Loss of Five Best Track Men Left Jayhawkers to Mercy of Old Enemy
Bob Simpson of Missouri scored twenty-one points himself and broke a world record; Kansas lost the relay and meet. Score, 44 to 65.
souch, in a nutshell, was the result of the annual Kansas-Missouri dual track and field meet on McCook Field Saturday. K. U's team was hard hit by war. Casey, sure to place in the low hurdles, shot and discus, and Johnson, brond jumpers and squats, are at FF. The same place where Weeks and Small, counted for places in jump and weight events. Welsh, quarter miler, enlisted in the coast artillery corps two weeks ago and was not in the meet.
K. U. had a chance to see Simpson, the great Tiger track star, clip off two-fifths of a second from the world's curved-track record for the 220-yard low hurdles. The best straight-track record is 23 5-5. Kansas had no entries in the hurdles, as Casey left for Fort Riley on short notice.
SPLIT EVEN ON FIRSTS Kansas and Missouri each won seven firsts, but Missouri took many second places in addition. The sprints and hurdles were clean sweeps for Missouri.
Fast time was made in all events. Scholz of Missouri won the 100-yard dash in 10 flat, with Simpson second. Davidson of Kansas led for second place until Simpson passed him in the last fifteen yards. In the final race in 1584; within one-fifth of the K. U. record. Murphy in a hot race beat Duncan for second place, making the only clean sweep for Kansas.
DUNCAN IN FINE RUN
Sprowl of Kansas was a close second in the fastest mile ever made on McCook Field. Duncan trailed Sprowl the full distance until the final stretch when, with a burst of speed, Duncan nosed out ahead.
USUAL THRILL IN RELAY
Rice of Kansas repeated his performance of the Penn games by clearing six feet in the high jump. Pittam of Missouri pushed him to the limit. Stateler's clever blocking, intended to give Groene a chance to pinch, was a measure of the two-mile run; however, it was not in good form, and fell back.
The relay was exciting, Rodkey, the first Kansas man, opened up with a big lead on Selbie, but his teammates couldn't keep up the pace. Sproull, although far behind at the start of the last lap, ran a good race. Rodkey, "with Welch we might have won."
The summary;
It was charged the first Tiger relay man failed to touch the second, but A. C. Grover, referee and starter, ruled that, although they might not have touched, they were close enough for their hands to overlap.

SPORT BEAMS
It is probable that the Jayhawker baseball nine will play the Tigers at Columbia, Friday and Saturday, and that the Jayhawker track team will meet the Cornhuskers at Lincoln Saturday according to Manager W. O. Hamilton. He said the two squads would hold a meeting sometime this afternoon to see whether there was a "quorum" left in school.
The big annual invitation meet for high school track stars will also be hold on McCook Field Saturday. Invitations will be mailed out today. Invitations will be sent to the track squads of Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City, Kans., Lawrence, and Topake. The other invitations will be sent to the final team from the state over the state. About seventy entries are from Kansas City, and about ten each from Lawrence and Topake.
Lon Silvers, a star backfield man on Woodruff's '98 team and also on Yost's '99 team, stopped in Lawrence, yesterday afternoon and this morning, to visit with old friends. Lon, as he was leaving the followers, used to represent K. U. when Kansas Valley championships were the rule.
Ray Edwards, captain of last year's Kansas track squad, was out to McCook Field Saturday to see the Missouri-Kansas track meet. He was a star quarter-miler and the frequent hand shaking with old friends showed that he is well remembered by followers of the track sport.
The freshman basketball players "chipped in" and bought Coach Dutch Uhrlaub a gold basketball watch-fob to show their appreciation of his good coaching. Captain Ritchie presented the fob to Coach Uhrlaub at the last basketball practice. The regular spring basketball practice will be held in Robinson gymnasium at seven o'clock tonight according to the coach.
The Jayhawk track team has been weakened still more since the Missouri-Kansas track meet Saturday, by the withdrawal of Pattinson, a sure point winner for Kansas in the pole vault event. If the athletes continue to struggle with it, they will move the next two weeks as the last two weeks there will not be enough athletes left in school for even the skeleton of the different athletic teams.
The Kansas tennis squad is scheduled to meet the Cornhusher racket wielders at Lincoln Friday and Saturday. Although there is no dope as this year, the Jayhawkter followers predict a victory for Kansas.
Nine little American flags waved on the diamond every time a Kansas man stepped up to bat. Y'see, it was this way: Every Missouri player had a glorious six-inch flag sewed on his left sleeve.
"This is too pathetic for words—nine scores in one inning." Friday's game was over and Coach Brewer spoke. "It makes fifteen straight victories for us, and we'd have traded that guy to the defense. That's how we appreciate it." And the boys with the gold-striped scissors kept on bagging the bats.

TIGERS CINCH VALLEY CHAMPIONSHIP RACE
Win Second Game from Jay hawker Nine by 10 to 4 Score Friday Afternoon
WAS A PITCHERS' BATTLE
Loose Playing in Ninth Inning Allows Nine Runs by Missouri
Coach Brewer's proteges practically clinched the Missouri Valley Conference baseball championship this year by making nine runs in the ninth inning and turning a 4 to 1 defeat into a win at McCook Field Friday afternoon.
The clash was a pitcher's battle up to the ninth inning when Giltner started the fireworks for Missouri by smashing out a two base hit and then Farmer, Owens, Dennis, and Morris connected for hits in rapid succession. Stommons and Dipoll then followed with an injury and completely bating around. Four more batters faced the pitcher before the Tigers were finally retired.
Red Craig pitched a wonderl
game until the ninth, and many be-
ve it was not his fault that the Torn
too succeeded in running in the
nine scores.
CRAIG PITCHED GOOD GAME
Coach Brewer, of Missouri, was one who believed that Craig was not at fault. He said that Kansas lost the game by bringing the infielders on the grass when they could easily have afforded to let the Tigers have one or two scores as the score was to be. The Kansas players were in so close that they could not handle the hot groundsters from the Tigers' bats.
Craig's pitching ability was shown in the second inning when he succeeded in retiring three Tiger batters by the one, two, three on route ten pitched balls. He again pulled out of a big hole in the seventh inning when Owens smashed one over the fence and knocked out four players on bases with only one out. Craig tightened up and fanned Morris and Captain McMillan.

EVERY college man can do this. How? Statistics prove that the average college graduate earns $4,000 a year when he has attained his maximum earning power.
According to these figures it is worth $4000 to a college man to save a year. This he may do by attending summer school, thereby completing his university career in three years.
This critical time above all others is the time to save. If you are not going to enlist for military service, do your bit by not wasting the summer months—attend the

PUTNAM DRAFTS PLANS FOR GOV. FOOD CONTROL
NUMBER 153.
Economics Professor Says Conscription Will Take Working Men and Reduce Output
U. S. COURSE STILL IN AIR
Suggests Uncle Sam Begin Farming and Utilize All Land Not in Use
Geo. E, Putnam, associate professor of economics in the University asked concerning the psychology of present high prices of food stuffs said there was no mystery associated with war and high prices.
In the first place, he said, men and capital are removed from normal channels of production for comparatively unproductive purposes. Their withdrawal means a serious curtailment of the nation's productive capacity. Furthermore, war increase the demand for goods as supply decreases. Military supplies must be provided immediately; soldiers must be clothed and fed. Because the government must produce these supplies, it outbids all others.
Professor Putnam said that, with the entrance of the United States into the European Union a time when Europe's production is scarcely sufficient for normal needs, the problem of food prices promises to become a subject for legislative action. The course of action of the States at present is entirely problematic.
THE three ways of HANDLING
The three possible ways in which the government might handle the food problem are:
By establishing a series of maximum prices, just as some states are now attempting to fix a maximum rate of interest. Professor Putnam criticized the failure of this plan in Germany at the outbreak of the war. Its failure was owing chiefly to the encouragement of consumption without a corresponding incentive to production. Maximum prices must be uniform to be effect-
GOVERNMENT SHOULD PRODUCE A second plan would take account of the necessity of increased production. According to this scheme, the government itself would become a producer. It would take over all land not under cultivation and would become an active competitor with farmers and middlemen in the production process. It would draft farmers and farm laborers into its employ. This plan is in spirit comparable to the present system of competing with express companies through the parcel post. The chief objection to such a plan is that it could not become operative at once.
GUARANTEE FARMERS A NUCLE
The third plan proposes that the government stimulate produce by giving it to farmers for a period of years minimum prices for staple products; prices sufficiently high to enlist their greatest efforts. All these products would be turned over to government elevators. Producers would not be allowed to withhold supplies.
A phase of this plan deals with the control of consumption, Chief reliance would be placed on the vigilance of the government in pooling and guarding the supply of food. And here the most that government regulation could hope to accomplish would be to limit the amount that individuals, families, hotels, and restaurants might consume.
BURDEN BY BOTH CLASSES "It is almost inconceivable that public voting should ever become necessary for government. Putnam "But there is no other method of government price regulation that is as sound in principle. It is true that this would incur a large loss to the government, but it would reduce the burden would fall upon the richer classes according to their means."
FORMER STUDENT MADE
MUNITION FOR ALLIES
"Yes, I made munitions for the Allies," said Joe Howard, a former journalism student of K. U., in an interview this morning. "I have been working most of the time in Canada and Detroit, making ammunition, but I've been the 'Most of the munition consisted of heavy artillery and high explosives."
"It is my opinion," said Mr. Howard, "that those taking engineering could be of far more use to the country if they would apply their learning in the making of ammunition rather than training for the battle machine that part to those who know nothing about it." Places are offered by the government with good pay and a minimum amount of risk and danger."

COMPANY M FUND TO $88;
ONLY 10 FROM TAG DAY
The amount of the Company M fund, now in the keeping of Registrar George O. Foster, is $98.25. Of this amount $7 came from the mid-week dance given by the Men's Student Council, $13.25 from private subscriptions, and only $10 from the sale of tags.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 15, 1917.
Those who still have money from the sale of tags are asked by the Registrar to turn it in at the business office in Fraser Hall at once.
PLAY NEVIN'S OPERAS NEXT SEASON IN U.S.
Chicago Grand Opera Company to Give "Poia" and "Daughter of the Forest"
Two operas by Arthur Nevin, professor of community music, will be produced next winter by the Chicago Grand Opera Company in Chicago and New York. They are "Poia," an Indian opera, and "The Daughter of the Forest," one of the K. U. composer's recent productions.
The plot of "Poin," gathered by Professor Nevin and Walter McClintock, of Pittsburg, Pa., is based on legends of the Blackfeet Indians in Montana. Randolph Hartley wrote the libretto. A war dance is introduced in the orchestra; in which seven beating instruments, cymbals, tomtoms, and the xylophone are used to suggest Indian music.
Cleoforte Campaniini, director of the Chicago Grand Opera Company, has decided definitely to give both operas next season. This will be the first time the operas have been presented in America. "Poir" was given in the Royal Opera House in Berlin in 1910 and achieved a great success. It was the first America opera given in the German capital.
Professor Nevin has taught two years at the University and has had charge of the community music extension work. He has written much orchestra music and is especially known for his Impromptu. He spent many years living with the modest Indians, learning their music first hand.
TYPHOID TO BE EXCLUDED
Doctor Sandwull Plans to Inspect Al Boarding Houses Next Year to
"It is a plan," said Dr. Joann Sundwalt of the medical school faculty in speaking of the University health service, "to try to make provisions to regulate sanitary conditions of boarding and rooming houses."
The plan will include inspection of all places where students live, the way the food is prepared, and a betterment of hygienic conditions in every way. Owing to the uncertainty of conditions that may prevail next week, it is possible to make detailed plans for the future, said, but it is assured measures will be taken to make K. U. a cleaner and healthier place to live in.
The University hospital has been a busy place this year because of the typhoid scare and several near-epidemics of colds, grip, and other alliments. The following report by Miss J. Barker describes how the医ian will show how students have availed themselves of the University medical aid:

Laboratory examinations ... 343
Prof. C. A. Buckner will return next year to his position as associate professor in the School of Education.
Professor Buckner has been on a faculty at New York University working on his Ph.D, which he expects to receive this June
In the new curriculum outlined for next year in the School of Education especial stress will be laid upon Professor Buckner's courses on the preparation of superintendents and principals.
There will be another change in the faculty of the School of Education. Miss Lita Battey will go to Columbia University on a year's leave of absence. Miss Cora Doble, formerly the school, who is being studied for the next year Columbia University, will take Miss Batey's place.
The enrollment in the School of Education is expected to be increased rather than decreased," said Dean Kelley this morning. "For the teacher, this means that we need to undermine the demand for teachers in high schools will be as great as ever."
A company of 50 faculty men of the University of Washington is now in training.
IF TOO FAT FOR ARMY,
WORRY, SAYS HARRISON
Department of Physical Education Helps Students Pass Military Examinations
"If you are too fat for the military requirements and wish to get thin—just worry about it and the result will be gratifying," said C. B. Harrison, of the department of physical education, in explaining some of the tactics that department uses in making University men come up to the standard set for men in military service.
The opposite holds true for the tinn people, says Mr Harrison. But the weight difficulty is not the only defect that comes to the notice of the department The trouble most applicants have are an undeveloped chest. Forty per cent of the freshmen examined at the beginning of each year is the average that do not come up to the standard. Correction of the chest is the best measure rather tedious job and the success of it depends on the applicant.
The minimum weight for military service is 128 pounds with a height of 64 inches. The applicant must weigh two pounds for every inch in height. The minimum chest measurement is 32 inches.
"The big job though is to make a man grow," said Mr. Harrison, "it is not impossible by strengthening certain muscles that support the shoulders to add an inch on to the height of a man. Nearly every one stands in a position that tends to diminish his height and correcting this in his posture means greater height."
Bull Frogs Fight for Life in Potter's Lake
Hot days are coming and with them he desire of many students to go swimming in Potter's lake. At the present time, however, there is not enough water in the lake to keep the bullfrogs alive and there is no means if filling up the lake except through he rood graces of the weather bugea.
As soon as conditions will permit the lake will be opened to all "who desire the luxuries and pleasures of the Great Lakes."
"I, would not advise any one going swimming in the lake, now even if there was plenty of water," said Dr. Naismith, "because it is not warm enough for still water. Still water takes a long time to heat up and until the water below the surface of cramps, as the water below the surface may be very cold.
"I don't like Potter's lake very well," I said a soph to a freshman, "because it said a soph to a freshman."
"Why don't they dam it? he asked,
Oh, because it ain't worth a dam iam

Wait, the 'a' in "dam it" is bold.

WAR CALLS FACULTY OF MEDICAL SCHOOL
University Teachers as Well as Students Are Responding to Nation's Need
Seven members of the graduating class in medicine at Rosedale have been called to the Mare Island Training Hospital in San Francisco Bay to receive special training for work in the navy. They will rank as assistant KL U. medics, principally after gradating, Dr. John Sundwall of the medical school said this morning.
"The English and French have had appalling losses among army surgeons," Doctor Sundwall said. "If war continues it will require the conspicuous work of many schools in the United States to supply the demand for surgeons. The greatest service any medic, or premedic, could render the country is to complete his course as rapidly and his role as possible and go into service."
Among the first force of 1,000 American surgeons called to the French front will be several members of the Rosedale faculty, although in the main doctors are requested to stay at home and teach their students the maximum output. Dr. Clarence Francisco already has gone."
Doctor Sundwall has received letters from the War Department and the Council of Defense urging every medic, or pre-medic student to finish his course as soon as possible and enlist.
Members of this year's graduating class who have been called as assistant coach are R. H. Boore Paul Drake, S. W. Conner, H. E. Ragle, and R. C. Riney.
K. U. PROF WRITES ARTICLES FOR ENGINEERING PAPEI
C. C. Williams, professor of railway engineering, has written an article for the Engineering News-Recorder of May 10 concerning the distance freight can be hauled to best advantage by a motor truck.
Every season the competition between railroad and motor car industries becomes greater, the article states. Motor cars have become so advanced that they are often used that the competition between truck and freight trains now is keen.
JOC BURCH IS LAW SCHOOL
SPEAKER ON STUDENT DAY
Allen Burch, '17, will speak for the School of Law on Student Day May 25. Doc was elected by the laws at a mass meeting this morning on the steps of Green Hall. He will air the grievances of the Laws who suffered the penalty of dismissal in the "Naughty Rally" last fall.
Student Day is the day when the undergraduate spellbinders have their inning, and tell the faculty how they think the school should be run.
Will Draft Chemists
In answer to an inquiry sent by Professor Whitaker to Washington, it was learned that the government has not yet adopted a definite policy, but it is assumed that chemists will be drafted, as others, but will be given the power to make decisions about them to be assigned to chemical work, rather than regular duties. This information is not official, but is the opinion of prominent chemists.
His name is Seishi Idei, and it's pronounced *.)* $(|$ .) (?18*) or something to that effect. Besides that, he comes from Tokio, and he's visiting with Mr. Takaki, a graduate student in chemistry.

The local club meets Wednesday night to choose delegates to this conference. Two delegates will be chosen. The present situation in international affairs will make the conference of especial interest. Speakers of international reputation are being selected for the September conference.
Plain Tales from the Hill
Starched dresses are no longer stylish. Starch has gone up with potatoes, flour and beans. Skirts now are wide and whirly.
Chewing gum, having had proper mastication, can be substituted for glue according to Marie Buchanan. Stores downtown sell three packages of gum on a nickel. Gum is cheaper and far more pleasant to use, smell and taste.
You're wrong.
You've thought all along that no one but girls were superstitions and invaded the secret portals of the fortune teller.
Newspapers don't often indulge in it. This is the one is so plain we might love to sell it.
Last week before they went to war a bunch of Phi Gams motorized over to have their fortunes told. When the teller found that they were going to be shot, they would die if they would meet death in battle. But Jack Challis has a different fate awaiting him. He will marry, according to the seer, an attractive
And Jack is so young.
There are rumors that a certain co-ed has quit school to be married. Lots of them are doing it. She has stopped school, to do some very necarious work. It is hard for her and cares for it herself and is buying many pretty household articles.
No names mentioned or bokays slung but Phyllis is a very capable young lady and the man is lucky who getteth her.
Peace has come at last. The white flag has been raised. The transformation comes in the commons of the army, the barracks room. Art Ellison writes: "I am in Co. Number 3 prison with Col. Galant Clark, John Kirkthall and Howard Blaine, all from K. U. This is the crack company, good men, good cooks, fine officers and gangs of athletes. Three M. U. athletes here in our barricks room. We have buried the hatchet tho and are getting along so well that we are being regular flunkies in general. Everyone falls to willingly, tho."
Wouldn't it be a joyous sound just when you were well and really enjoying life as only life can be enjoyed as we approach quiz times—well, if you're in the newspaper that you had been shot by your rommate? Just imagine it.
Such happened to Dean Reitz later yesterday. Dean went triting home the woods and there found a copy of the Hutchex journal of the thing proclaiming his death at Topeka. The News had his biography all written out and gave his age at seventen. This peved Dean cause astonishment and wants to look like a man.
But wouldn't it be great and glorious feeling?
They have a regular zoological garden and pond and mud down at Potters' Lake. Gold fish—great big long ones—are swimming around followed by schools of smaller fishes. Gold cows graze silently and easily on the white dandelions. Blackbirds twitter in the trees. And dates stroll around.
Must be nice to be engaged. First place you talk about dresses and shirt waists and the price of high shoes. And de chine stuff. And wonder how two can live on the salary of one during this war time.
Then you have your fiance meet some bird on the street and she says "No, he couldn't get in at Fort Riley his heart. And the auditor resisted surprise and says, "Why, I didn't know he was bothered with his heart."
And then your fiance in a business-of blushing spirit asks, "Heart? Did I say heart? Why, I mean his eyes, of course."
Ain't it nice?
MAY USE MAILING LIST IN EMERGENCY SERVICE
Professor Shaad III
The carnival has been and gone. They had some shows out there. What we started to say was that on the last day some profs were out on the campus, sensoring the thing. But it was late Saturday. Anyway they were there.
Professor Shaad Ill G. C. Shaad, professor of electrical engineering, was unable to meet his classes today because of sickness.
Extension Division Offers Equipment for Use in Keeping State People Informed
TEACH SOLDIERS BY MAIL
Correspondence Work Free of Charge Open to Those Doing Military Service
Emergency service for the war available through the University extension division is summarized in the book prepared by Director F. R. Hamilton.
"The University extension division, because of its close connection with many of the organizations of the state and its expansive mailing lists is able to offer unusual means of giving to the people of the state information and service of particular value," said Mr. Hamilton. "The office force, type-writers, duplicating machines and other office equipment and supplies are available for all emergency war service."
MEN STUDY AND DRILL
The University extension division will extend its correspondence study courses to those who must stay at home because of the war. "Citizens of Kansas who are in the training camps will be given correspondence work free of charge," Mr. Hamilton announced.
Information available at the University that will aid the food conservation movement, will be circulated by the extension division, and surveys to determine resources of supplies for the government will be made.
COURSE FOR HOME MAKERS Special courses on problems, given prominence by the war, will be emphasized. The list includes home making and economics in the light of military preparation and conservation, first aid nursing service and industrial economics.
The "stencil" mailing list of the extension division is probably the most representative in the state and is available for any messages public officials desire to send through it. This mailing list includes superintendents and principals of Kansas schools, county superintendents, city officials, 3,500 merchants, women's clubs, welfare associations, 1,176 correspondence students, teachers and this year's common school graduates.
Celebrates 39th Year as
Czar Over K. U. Library
Carrie M. Watson, fondly remembered by thousands of K. U. students as "Aunt Carrie," has celebrated her thirty-ninth anniversary as the University librarian. There are probably very few librarians who have had the chance to watch the development of a university as Miss Watson has. In 1878 she was assistant when the library was first installed at Fraser in the room now occupied by Mrs. Brown, adviser of women.
At that time the library contained 2,000 volumes, to which only juniors and seniors had access. During the next seven years the library increased to 9,000 volumes and had to be moved to the rooms which are now the register's office. At this time Miss Watterson left the library and Spooner library was built and the library which consisted of 15,000 books was moved into the new building.
"I remember," said Miss Watson this morning, "when the nucleus of the present library consisted of a few dusty books which were stowed away in the small dark room in North College which was rarely entered. One member of the alumni remembers looking in one of the books for a reference one time. The growth of the university is growing at University. Yes, there is a great comparison between North College and a few hundred books of forty years ago and the present University and its large library of 115,000 books."
VAN DER VRIES TO SPEAK
AT RED CROSS MEETING
Prof. John N. Van der Vries, of the department of mathematics, will be the principal speaker at a Red Cross meeting to be held at the Memorial building in Topeka tonight. It is his plan in going to Topeka to out-illustrate the work of the Red Cross and tell it how much the needs of the organization and what it should do at the present time.
Professor Van der Vries is interested in the work of the Red Cross and has spent considerable time in evaluating the plans of this organization.
The Old Owl society will have a business meeting following that of the newly initiated Owls tomorrow night.

steadfast woll-doing." — Samuel Smiles.
THE FLAG
For several months the flag has been floating over Fraser Hall. At first it seemed unusual; we were only used to seeing it there at commencement and enrollment times. But now we have become so accustomed to seeing Old Glory frayed and worn thin with whipping in Mount Oread winds, that when we reach the crest of the hill, if it is not there, we miss it and feel that something is gone. It has become very near and dear to us in these days of unrest.
Two baseball games and a track meet are now placed beside Missouri's basketball and football victories over Kansas this year. Anyway, you enjoyed seeing Mister Simpson fly.
IN THE SPRING!
We have arrived at the "home stretch!"
It is the last of the race that counts.
We all know that this is our last chance to make up back work, and finish up those papers that have been dragging all semester.
But maybe we'll all be happy about it anyway.
But never had the Kaw so much appeal, and never did the movies advertise such wonders as at this crucial period. With the coming of the leaves and Douglas Fairbanks lessons must suffer.
One student will plan his work and let pleasure break in occasionally; another student will plan his pleasure and let study break in occasionally.
The student who likes Latin will stay away from the movies to study, the student who likes to see the movies will stay away from his Latin.
One student will make Phi Beta Kappa and will be happy; another will be happy and will not make Phi Beta Kappa.
Both of them will probably live to a moderate old age and die in moderate circumstances.
Funny old world, isn't it?
'Specially in the spring!
Will the women who were awarded athletic letters last Saturday allow their male escorts to wear them? Only fair, it seems, considering how liberal the gentlemen are with their "K's."
FOR ABLE OFFICERS
Student organizations of all kinds should use more than ordinary care in electing the officers who will conduct the organization's affairs during the summer and the coming year. With University affairs as disorganized as they are at present, the selection of officers is a matter of extreme seriousness for any organization.
No fraternity or other group knows how many of their members will
return to the University next fall. None knows how able it will be to meet financial or other responsibilities which it may have incurred. Unless the officers chosen to administer business affairs during so critical a period are trustworthy and capable, the organization is liable to find itself in serious difficulties.
Every club, society, or fraternity needs to consider the seriousness of the situation from this point of view, and every person chosen to a position of responsibility should feel that he must prove himself worthy of a double trust.
So they got you for the Company M fund and for the Red Cross did they? Well, don't worry. The Fund for the Extinction of Dandelions on the campus will be launched tomorrow.
THOSE STOLEN BOOKS
He was the typical example of the average student. During the long weeks of the early part of the semester he had allowed his studies to slide, and then, two weeks before quizzes, he suddenly discovered that he had an immense amount of work to do. An important term paper was on schedule to be at the instructor's desk in the morning.
The student hurried to the library. On the way, he framed in his mind's eye a plan by which he could do the required reading and still finish his paper in time. It would require that he stay up half the night; but remembering that it had been his negligence that caused the present trouble, he was willing to sacrifice sleep.
Breathlessly, he searched the card catalogue for the number of the reference book he wanted. He found it, and passed it over the desk to a librarian.
Minutes passed. The librarian returned. "I can't find the book on the shelves," she said.
Then came a search through the card index of the department library. The number was again found. But the book was missing.
"Look around on the tables," suggested the librarian. The search was made. But it was in vain.
Then a second student interrupted.
"That book on the short ballot?" he asked.
"Why. I've been hunting it all afternoon. Somebody told me it'd been missing for three weeks. Probably it's been stolen."
This is an everyday story. That University students will stoop to such low practices as the stealing of books from a state library seems unbelievable. But in the time of stress before the oncoming examinations it becomes lamentably apparent.
It's a problem with a strictly personal solution.
Will you do your share toward solving it?"
Some of the boys who failed to get approved for Fort Riley, but who got in on several farewell dinners, are very busy just now scaring up alibis.
OTHER OPINIONS
There is an evident fear among business men that the impulse to economy may suddenly contract the volume of business to such an extent as to disorganize industry, throw wage earners into idleness, and create a general state of alarm and confusion which would seriously impair the ability of the country to deal with the great emergency which confronts it. They urge that it is better for each person to go ahead in his accustomed way and with his usual expenditures than to run the risk of disturbing the orderly movement of trade by encouraging a general change of pace.
WAR-TIME ECONOMY
It should be understood that what is wanted in the way of economy is not hoarding, which would bring about a cessation of industry, but an intelligent adaptation of private policies to the public needs. There is not going to be less work to be done in this country. There is more work than ever in sight to be done. Indiv-
individuals must turn a large part of their incomes over to the government, not for hoarding, but for it to expend among the industries. The expenditures will merely be shifted to new channels. This is the main fact to be kept in mind.
We do not think the pressure of high prices and high taxation should be the only influences to deter an individual from unnecessary expenditures. One of the most difficult tasks they have had in England has been that of convincing people that because they could afford to buy something was no justification for buying it, especially in war time. If the expenditure is unnecessary and the article or service requires labor which is needed elsewhere, the expenditure ought not to be made. It is obviously out of place to keep men tending flower gardens while grain fields go untilled, and to have textile mills running on more style changes when the labor supply is insufficient to make cloth for the army.
The rule that one should buy only what he needs must of course be applied with common sense, and along with it should go an organized effort to utilize whatever labor is thereby released in industries where it is needed. Our problem is so to organize our forces that not only will there be no unemployment but that every worker will be employed in the manner most serviceable to the country.—From a bulletin on "Economic Conditions" issued by the National City Bank of New York.

WHY DANDELIONS ARE WITH US--DR. CHARLES
Golden Pests and Grass Have Been Enemies Time Out
of Mind
Consider the dandelions, how they multiply; they toil not, neither do they spin; yet Solomon in his glory was not clad as is Mt. Oread this spring. The campus has a wonderful golden glow because no power to efface; it is only changed by the graying process of time.
Dame not the superintendent on grounds if you happen to be one who prefers green to yellow for campus decoration. He can't prevent Egyptians could avoid their plagues; they come and must be borne with fortitude.
"Waves of dandelions strike unvery much as locusts do," says Dr. Grace Charles, assistant professor of botany. "Dandelions have certain natural enemies, one of which is grass, and if their enemies are also weakened them down, the dandelions get the upper hand and flourish as the green bay tree. Our present invasion is probably due to the fact that the grass when cut is always carried off and the soil is robbed of its fertilizing value. The grass is not so hardy and lacks power to starve of dandelions. It is more powerful who then dig the grass on their laws are practically free from the pest, and that they flourish best where the grass is clipped short."
Certain saitis kill dandelions, but they will also kill grass and when the former are so think as they are here, chemists should be more harmful helpful.
Be consolled and cease to struggle against the pest. When freshmen are seniors, the natural enemies of the dandelion may recover. Until then, no dandelion-digging holidays will be of use.

SMEE CHECKS IN SUIT AND SAYS "GOODBYE"
Baseball Captain Leaves School and Varsity Nine Is Badly Disorganized
The prospects for a Jahawk victor victory over the Tigers at Columbia next Friday and Saturday took a considerable slump yesterday when Captain George Smee, the heaviest slugger on the team and one of the star players, checked in his suit and left for his home at WaKeeney. He has withdrawn from school and will work at home.
The team has been still more crippled by the withdrawal of Leon Gibbens, who played a star game in center field the first of the season but who was brought in to the field after missing Missouri games here. He has gone to the officers' reserve training camp at Fort Riley. Although the withdrawal of these two men will make a big hole in the team, it is not probable that the squad will end until after the two Missouri games at Columbia Friday and Saturday.
Captain Smee was out at McCook Field yesterday afternoon to the regular baseball practice to bid his teammates "good luck" in the two remaining games on the schedule. He did not suit up. Manager W. O. Hamilton has cancelled the four Aggie games, two of which were to have been played here 23 and 24, and the other two at Manhattan June 1 and 2, so that the Aggies and Jayhawkers will not meet this season.
Stem Foster, quarterback on the football team last season, was out to the practice yesterday afternoon and from the good showing which he made at short stop it is likely that he will off-set to a large extent the great loss of Captain Smee, Lindsey, Gibbens and some of the other K men players. The nine were rearranged again yesterday and Weber played first, Sonfeldt second base, Pratt third base, Foster shortstop, Taylor left field, Chase center field, and Stevenson right field.
Most of the practice was given over to batting practice but the infield also had a short workout. The players worked well together for the first time and will likely be able to present strong opposition to the Tigers, although this is but a guess, as there are but three more practices before the squad leaves for the den of the Tiger at Columbia.
Coach McCarty still seems optimistic about the outcome of the last two clashes. He is depending a great deal on Craig and Poirier to hold the Tigers to a low score. Eleven players were out to yesterday's practice. Those who were out were: Carter, Smith, Poirier, Weber, Schoenfeld, Pratt, Foster, Taylor, Chase, Stevenson, and Melhennoy.
CRACK H. S. ATHLETES COMING
Invitations to Teams and Individual Record Men Expected to Bring 100 Visitors Saturday
Invitations for what promises to be the best invitation high school meet in several years were sent out yesterday morning by Mgr. W. O. Hamilton to the track squads of Kansas City, Mo., Kansas City, Kas., Lawrence, and Topeka, with special invitations to thirteen of the best Kansas high school athletes in the state. The meet will be on McCook Field Saturday.
One hundred high school athletes from Missouri and Kansas are expected at the meet next Saturday. Seventy athletes will represent the two Kansas City track squads, about ten will come from Lawrence and Topkea, along with the thirteen stars who will be selected to receive a special invitation are the ones who made the best records in the track meet here May 5.
The men to whom special invitations were sent include Bruce, Topeka high school, with a record of 54 2-4 seconds in the quarter; McKown, Pratt, pole vault, 11 feet $2 \frac{1}{2}$ inches; Sanderson, Lyndon, mile, 4.5E; Evans, Ossage, 100-yard dash, 10 1-5 seconds; Neeley, Abilene, 220-yard dash, 23
seconds; Cochrane, Ottawa, broad jump, 20 feet 3 inches; Tomlinson, Eskridge, shot put, 39 feet 11½ inches; Shepard, Wichita, shot put, 43 feet; Leslie, St. John, dashes; Tucker, Pleasanton, high jump, 5 feet 8 inches; Bailey, Pratt, high hurdles, 17 seconds; Mathias, Perry, mile, 4:38; and Bradley, Cheroke, high jump, 5 feet 9 inches.
KANSAS TRACK SQUAD CONFIDENT OF VICTORY
Jayhawkers Will Meet Corn huskers at Lincoln Next
Saturday
The Jayhawker track squad is working hard to get into shape for the Cornhusher meet at Lincoln next Saturday, and from the showing of the squad in the Missouri-Kansas meet here last Saturday and helped by new track men who have come out for practice since the meet, it looks very good. The Cornhusher meet according to Captain Fred Rodkey.
Rudolf Uhrlaub and George Yoe-kum were the new men out yesterday for the hurdles. Both men have had some experience in running the hurdles and should be able to take at least second place in the Cornhusk meet with a little more practice. Uhrlaub was entered in the hurdle events in the last round of the Cornhusk meeting Saturday but he was "out of town" according to Lefty Sproull a score keeper, so that he did not get to show what he could do in these events.
Captain Rodkey said this morning that he was not certain whether Pattinson, the star pole vaulter would be able to go to Lincoln or not, but that there was a possibility that he would go with the squad. He was very optimistic about the results of the meet with the team. He added that by a fair margin as Ames beat Nebraska about five points and Missouri beat Ames by a large score.
The entries in the Cornhusker meet will be the same as in the Tiger meet if all the track men now in school do not withdraw which seems hardly probable now as school will close in about three weeks. In the 100-yard dault O'Leary, Davidson, Noel, andolan, with chance Sproull, Statler, Howland, Groene, and Rodkey can be depended upon for the mile, while the hurdle events are doubtful, but Kansas should at least take second place.
O'Leary, Rodkey, Sproull and Crowley should be able to take the quarter mile, and Rodkey, Murphy, Sproull and O'Leary should make a strong race for first and second place in the half mile. Davidson, Noel, O'Leary, Crowley, and Robey should barely reach the 220-yard dash. Rodkey, Stateler, Howland and Groene can be depended upon to place in the two mile event.
It is not certain who will run the relay but Rodkey, Sproull, O'Leary, and Murphy probably have the best chance. Pattinson, Ziegler, and Rice will be entered in the pole vault event if Pattinson is persuaded to go. Woodward and Ziegler will handle the weights, and Grutzmacher and probably another broad jumper will be entered in the broad jump event.
ANOTHER SCHOLARSHIP TO
SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS
A scholarship of $50 for the benefit of a sophomore music student has been given by Mrs. John T. Stewart, of Wellington. The scholarship will be awarded by the Fine Arts faculty in September.
This makes the third scholarship that has been given to the Fine Arts students by friends in the state. The first was given by Governor Capper and the second by Mrs. A. C. Stich, of Independence.

Nordstrum Says This Year's "Jayhawker" Is Ready for Delivery
Delivery
"The 1917 Jayhawker goes on sale next Monday, the hour and the place on the Hill to be announced later," said Arnold Nordstrom, editor of the annual, today. "The books are all off the press and will be ready for demand. The Studies will get their books in the morning and others in the afternoon.
The Jayhawkter this year was planned to be a picture book, even at the sacrifice of written material. The annual is dedicated to the yell, "Rock Chalk, Jayhawk," and the simile is carried throughout the book. The dedication section is printed in crimson, blue, and gold. The proberbial Jayhawk is impressed on each page in different poses.
The snapshots are classified anne are given individual titles. Such titles as "Openings for Bright Young Men," "All American Fish," "Submarine Views of the Campus," and "Humanity Fair" we attract attention. Our snapshots took four artists three weeks to mount the snapshots," said Nordstrom.
In the Campus Beautiful Section views of the University buildings and unusual views of the campus are displayed with dark green ink.
The Gay Squalk or comedy section is a burlesque of the main part of the book. In it are takeoffs on classes and student activities. In the Vanity Fair section, three poses of the two girls and two poses of the other girls will be shown. The pictures are mounted in frames and printed in green ink.

Each Day Speed Heath Watts for Some One to Go Through Spring
Spring football practice has practically been suspended because of the great rest and interest in military training among the football men, according to Speed Heath, who is in charge of the linemen this spring. He said he had been out to the track house at Five o'clock every afternoon to play a game, and then right out, out, but no one had been out for a couple of weeks or more.
The rainy weather that lasted for about two weeks also caused disinterest as the players gradually lost interest in the practices. Heaith said he will be out every afternoon until school is out and will work out with any one who intends to come out for the Varsity squad next year.
Coach Olcott believes the spring practices will not bring satisfactory results since the athletes' interest has been focused along with home work on the farm.
Gives Special Course
Dartmouth College has inaugurated a special six weeks' training course in preparation for the Government Military Stores Service. The Truck School, which will conduct the course, has accepted 80 men from the 100 odd applicants. Seventeen seniors and students, not connected with the Truck School, have enrolled and will be permitted to give up their other college work and substitute the work called for in the new department.—Cornell Sun.
Columbia has announced that plans are complete for a course in military science to be given this summer. Those who enroll in the camp will be given a course in military science, military engineering, and the regular infantry drill. The plan of the school is to take care of all men who are unable to get into the Platttsburg training camp for any reason. Ex.

NIGHTGOWNS FIND NO PLACE IN ARMY LIFE
NUMBER 15
Sob Letters or Fancy Sleeping Garments Not Needed, Says Doctor Naismith
CHEERY MISSIVES BETTER
Anything That Goes for Health or Happiness is Always Welcome
Many mothers and others are asking that question or will be asking it this summer. In reply Dr. James Carson writes, "I am very excited in the University, says; 'Send him candy and lemons, a good book, and if his company has a talking machine, a record of light music or sound, a cello, or send him sob letters or night gowns."
Doctor Naismith speaks from thirty years experience training university and college youths and from four months on the Mexican border last summer as chaplain of the First Battalion. He played basketball and has trained hundreds or athletes and kept thousands of students physically fit.
SOB LETTERS A HARM
"Sob letters and nightgowns were the most worrying and useless things the boys on the border last summer received from home," said Doctor Naismith. "Write that boy once or twice a week. Send him the home paper. He may not seem prompt to welcome home, but never forget he has an applause for home letters and the home paper. His appetite for sweets, too, is keen. The army ration, wholesome and nourishing, hasn't many trimmings, so candy is warmly welcomed by the boys. Homemade fudge or caramel candy something that doesn't mash the food, or anything it in oiled paper in quarter pound boxes and send as many of the boxes as you desire in a larger box.
UNCLE SAM THE DOCTOR
"Don't pack a lot of candy in one box. Don't send chicken, cake or other stuff that will spoil in shipping. Be careful with the packaging; little of almost everything in a box last summer. When it arrived in Engel Pass, Texas, it was an awful mess, for it contained a layer cake in which were imbedded bananas, lemons, onions, and a baked chicken, tomatoes, however, are always welcome.
"I am very much in earnest when I ask that no sob letters be sent to the boys. Also, if you know of some boy who has no one to write to him or send him cardy, remember him. I saw boys last summer who felt it quite a little that there was no one to remember them. They're all just big kiddies, you know, and they need appreciation."
M. S. C. REPORTS TO FOSTER
"There is no need to send clothing or medicine. Uncle Sam will look out for that. But small musical instruments are valuable in keeping a camp cheerful. Banjos, mandolins, even ukelees are good. Baseballs, any sport, always are welcome. Anything that encourages healthful play is good to run."

KANSAS SCHOOL HEADS WILL PLAN WAR AID
Chancellor Calls Meeting in To peka to Consider Schools' Service to Nation
It will also be recommended that all Kansas colleges include military training as a required course. All young men unavailable for military service or other governmental work are to be shown the opportunities the colleges offer them in training them for more effective service during the war or in the reconstruction period following, it is proposed.
Chancellor Frank Strong is sending out letters to the heads of all colleges and institutions of higher education in Kansas, asking them to attend a meeting of the association of Kansas universities. Frank Strong is president of the association. The meeting will consider the plan adopted recently in Washington by the association of state university presidents to make higher educational institutions more useful to the nation. Doctor Strong attended the Washing-ington conference, which was in conference with the National Council for Defense.
A specific proposal, made by Dr. H. J. Waters, president of the State Agricultural College, at the Washington meeting was that the school year consist of quarter terms instead of half terms as at present. This would allow students to do a year's or three-quarter's of a year's school and spend the remainder of the time on the farm without breaking into the school schedule.
Students pursuing technical courses such as medicine, agriculture, and engineering are to be urged especially to remain in school. The question of how athletics will be conducted, probably will be discussed. The Topeka meeting is expected to be of the utmost importance in determining the course of colleges in this state next year.

Y. M. C. A. HELPS 600
MEN EARN EDUCATION
Attendance at Social Events for Year More Than Four Thousand
MEMBERSHIP IS NOW 1,000
Largest University Delegation to Estes Park Sent by Local Association
The active part the Young Men's Christian Association plays in the student life of the University is shown in a report by Hugo Wedell, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A., issued today. This year's report indicates a better condition of the local association than those of former years, owing to the broadening of the association's work.
The membership of the University Y. M. C. A, reached 1,000 in the last year. The employment bureau obtained work for 600 men, making it possible for one-third of the men in school, with limited means or no means at all, to obtain an education. The general secretary is also room inspector and during the year the rooms of 1,800 men were inspected.
MEETINGS WELL ATTENDED
Two hundred K. U. men did active work at universities. C. U. among university men. The attendance of religious meetings for the year was 3,103. More than 1,000 women and men attended the joint socials of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. These entertainments provide social contact for hundreds of persons who otherwise would be deprived of all social activities. This group is informal and democratic. Also, 1,025 men attended the star socials.
Twenty-five men attended the M. Y. C. A. convention at Estes Park, Colo., summer. Thirty-five men attended the state Student Volunteer Convention.
GIVE OUT 1,500 HANDBOOKS
GAVE OCT. 1,500 HANDBOOKS
the association gave 1,500 handbooks to the student this year.
These "Freshmanables" are valuable information concerning the University and its surroundings for the new student. A thousand men were touched by a personal work committee of forty men. Character building literature was sent to all them during the year.
The Weather
Gospel teams conducted friendship campaigns among high school boys of the state and churches lacking leadership. Nine of last year's cabinets are going into Christian work; some are going to A. A. secretaryship and the ministry, and other administrators and engineers in foreign countries. A budget of almost $4,000 was raised, mostly from the students and faculty, to meet the local expenses.
OREAD TO GRADUATE ELEVEN
Generally fair tonight and Thurs-
day at 10:30 there and in west por-
tion tonight.
The Ex-officio members are Dean Dearle and Assistant Dean D. W. Pattera.
The college faculty of the University last night elected the Administrative Committee, which heretofore has been appointed. The members are elected to serve a term of three years.
F. R. Hamilton, Director of Extension Division, Will Deliver Commencement Address
An enrollment of one hundred is expected for next year. This will facilitate the teacher training work. The students of Oread have several advantages over students in other institutions, including more individual attention, better equipment, and access to the University laboratories.
At the last meeting of the faculty twelve members were nominated for places on the board from which five were chosen. Those elected were W, G. Mitchell, M. Allen, F. B. Dains, W, G. Mitchel, E. W. Murray, and Eugenia Gallo.
Eleven seniors are expected to graduate. "The work for the year," said Prof. H. F. Nutt, has been spent in "The University." The school being to supply training work for high school teachers, the Oread high school has maintained a very high standard of work. The average enrollment for the year has been sixty. Only a few students from the university are making up work at Oread.
The Oread high school commencement will be held in the Unitarian Church Thursday evening, May 31. The Oread High School tension Division, will give the address

WOULD-BE OFFICERS GET FOUR HOURS DRILL
Work Began in Earnest Yesterday at Ft. Riley for 122 From Lawrence
HIKE ON TODAY'S PROGRAM
Men Come From All Parts of U. S.for Kansas Training
Camp
After spending several days installing themselves in their new quarters at Fort Riley, the 122 Lawrence men who are candidates for commissions in the officers' reserve corps had their first work yesterday of marching in squads, studying drill manual, and practicing at semaphore signalizing.
It was a strenuous day for all those who have had no military experience, drilling from 6:30 to 10:30 every morning, but many of the K. U. men have had military experience either in the National Guard or in some of the voluntary drill classes organized here this spring. Company M, the company own organization, sent six men. All of them are men of military experience, and several of the K. U. men have been appointed as "non-coms."
MANY COLLEGE MEN THERE
The University men write of meeting many college men from Cornell, Yale and other eastern schools. These men chose Fort Riley, they believed because it has the reputation of being the best military post in the United States. To avoid going to the camp at Plattsburg, they came to St. Louis and enrolled for the training at Fort Riley.
MANY COLLEGE MEN THERE
"The St. Louis boys cuss Kansas and her laws," writes Wint Smith, a Company M man who went to the store to buy cigarettes. He found they could buy cigarettes here one of them said, 'It is just as I have always maintained: Kansas and her laws are a joke.' When he had finished I politely told him that Kansas held the habit of making laws for the United States military reservations."
THE men had their first practice hike for an hour today. The companies marched separately, and the men had a chance to put in practice some of the things they learned in the squad." All of the companies now have their rifles, but they did not use them on their first hike today.
A MILE HIKE TODAY
BAR EXAMINATIONS IN JUNE
Before Lawyers Are Examined, Certificates Must Be Presented to
State Board of Examiners
State Board of Examiners
The senior laws who did not take
the bar examinations recently will
take them on the 18th and 19th of
June.
Before a man is permitted to take bar examinations in Kansas he must present a certificate to the state board of examiners stating that he has studied three years in an accredited law school or that he has read law three years in the office of a public attorney. The degrees to be met by those desiring to practice in Missouri are practically the same.
Admittance to the bar is transferable from state to state when the transfer is made in a westerly direction. For example, Montana will accept a practicing attorney from Kansas without an examination, but New York will not except under extraordinary conditions.
A photograph has been received by the department of chemistry of John H. Long, 77, who is professor of chemistry at Northwestern University School of Medicine. Mr. Scholom of the College of Pharmacy there. Professor Long was the first K. U. man who studied chemistry abroad. He has written a number of text books, and recently contributed an article to The Medicalologist on "When Science Was Your Brain" Read." The photograph will be framed and hung in the laboratory.
Prof. Long's Photo Received
Van der Vries Begins Tour
Prof. J. N. Van der Vries of the department of mathematics has started on his tour of Kansas towns to deliver his annual high school addresses. Professor Van der Vries will speak at seven high schools. He will not return to the University until final examination week.
Brown Unable to Return
W. B. Brown, superintendent of the journalism press, is still confined to his home because of illness. His physician hopes that he will be able to continue his work after a short rest. It is not known whether or not he will return to his classes this semester.
ART DEPARTMENT OFFERS
TEO TWACHERS COURSES
Two summer school courses will be offered by the department of art and design. One course has been planned especially for teachers who are able to attend the University only during the summer months. Those who enroll in the course are supposed to have had some work in art.
An extra lecture course in design will be given along with this work for the benefit of those who are not regular teachers; be the regular teachers' course and will include work in free-hand drawing, water color, and design.
Plain Tales from the Hill
Face powder hasn't gone up but it is high at that. A good substitute for marygarden stuff or essence-of-theose powder is theatrical powder which comes in cans the size of a tomato can selling for thirty-five dollars, besides three longer, the users have found. And as good. This is a more refined the old method of sneezing in the flour barrel.
Mysterious things are happening over in the Chemistry building. Pale starey-eyed professors move on about to tole, least they jar something that might cause a blowup. They pour smelly liquids into glass test tubes and wait in breathless anxiety for something to happen. From early morning to late at night they work. And wait. Some day, maybe and perhaps, something will blow up. Then they will be ready for Germany.
Prof. Arthur L. Owen of the department of romance languages will teach Spanish at the University of Chicago during the summer quarter.
Millard Wear, Kansan Board member, waited until the last day. Then he withdrew from school and is now on a farm learning the first things about practical farming. He thought first of the army. Then he wanted to be newspaper reporter for the summer. But his last thought—that of the farming took hold. And that is where he is. Out near Maple Hill. And the Kansan loses another man.
You thought it kinda funny to see ten or fifteen students sitting on the greensward west of Green Hall yesterday morning, didn't you? We did too, thought at first glance that they were having a morning picnic. But we found that it was just a freshman class enjoying the beauties of nature and watching the little worms fall from the trees to the ground.
We're letting you in on a secret when we tell you that to keep their hair up and looking pretty girls use lots of hairpins. But violent exercise such as tennis playing sometimes pins loose hairs. And the hair falls down on your face, causing your hair unpretty. Fred Butcher has observed this. So he purchases a package of the things and has them ready for the girls when needed.
Ray Hempill did something last night that almost broke his own little heart. You see, someone called Raymond P. on the phone and wanted him to answer for some kind. But Ray refused. And six studied solid pages of Spanish.

DOLLARS HEEDLESSLY SPENT HELP GERMAN
Immediate Danger Lies in Our Failure to Economize, Doctor Ise Believes
IS ECONOMY A FICTION
No, When Nation Wants Men t Fight, to Farm, to Make Munitions
Fear of waste and fear of a hy-
teria of economy are mixed together
in the situation this nation faces to
day, and it is important American
think straight now on bread economic
says, says John Ise, assistant profes-
sor of economies in the University of
Kansas. The danger now is that the
country will not economize enough
Doctor Ise believes.
"History never has revealed an example of a nation that was too economic in war time," said Doctor Ise 'The man or woman who is eager to help whip Germany can do it best by saving in every way possible, by cutting out every luxury. One thousand dollars invested in an automobile has directed labor and capital into the business and amenities and away from war business and amenities much to make Germany happy. But $1,000 invested in war bonds encourages labor and capital in building ships to beat the submarine menace and helps win the war for civilization. Every man and woman who spends money for luxuries is helping Germany win the war.
MANY ECONOMIC FALLACIES
MANY ECONOMIC FALLACIES
"The crop of economic fallacies exploits the benefit of the public is unusually large. It has been written about 'carrying on business as usual' and 'keeping up prosperity.' A little careful thought will indicate there is no danger of hysterical economy. The danger is that the country will not economize enough. There never has been a war against it, but such extravagance, too much buoyancy inuries. It was so in the Revolutionary War. While soldiers froze to death at Valley Forge, the merchants in Philadelphia were selling silks by the thousands of yards—they were 'keeping up prosperity', money was 'circulating', and the army was getting licked.
"It is true, close economy would mean the makers and sellers of luxuries would have to quit business temporarily. Some of them would suffer. But when the country is engaged in war for the army, men to grow food, keep munitions output, there need be no serious question of employment.
"The real question is, what kind of a country is likely to win in a war, one whose labor is engaged in making and selling candy, wrist watches, and automobiles, or one whose labor force is thrown unreservedly into the production of munitions, food, clothing, and other equipment for a great army? Germany is showing us a nation of the latter class. Is the United States to be a spectacle of the first type?"
WAR FUND MOUNTS TO $220
Faculty Members and Students Make Liberal Contributions to Swell
The treasurer of the Company M war fund received $4.46 from the sale of tags Friday and $0.47 from faculty subscriptions. In addition, faculty members have subscribed $30 to the institute elected committee of members from both student councils are in charge of faculty subscriptions.
The war fund now totals $300.18.
The dance given by the student
added $75.25. Dr. Naismith,
chaplain of Company M, gave $50 to
the fund.
"We probably will have over $325." Walter Havekorest, president of the Men's Student Council said this morning. "The committee has been unable to see every member of the faculty but will try to finish the canvass this week. Faculty members and students whom the committee has not seen may leave their contributions at the registrar's office."
PROF, HUMBLE WILL EDIT
LAW BOOKS THIS SUMMER
Dr. H. W. Humble, professor of law, will go to Chicago at the end of the first six weeks of the summer session to be editor-in-chief with a law publishing concern for the remainder of the summer.
"I shall not be surprised, however, to hear at any time of a rather general suspension of law book publishing because of the high cost of paper," said Doctor Humble this morning. "In that case I shall fill an engagement of a tentative character I have made with a chauatua bureau."

Another use has been suggested for seismograph. It might be used inating the big guns in Europe, we us time, and we'll outfighter those rmans yet!
MILITARY TRAINING
The University authorities should be slow to act on whatever suggestions the Council of National Dease makes for a course in military dining at the University next year, e evident probability of a longitudin war, together with the fact that many students will become of aft age during the next school year, could be sufficient to warrant the establishing of such a course.
Columbia University is to have its m military training camp this sum-r for men who are too young or e otherwise ineligible to attend one the regular Government camps, we course will last six weeks, and is expected that any man who has d the course will be able to get an pointment as a noncommissioned heifer if he is called out by conscriptm.
For many years compulsory drill is been the rule at the Kansas Stategricultural College, and thoughere was in the past much complainingover it, that opposition has ceasedow that the peace of the United states has been so seriously disturbed. S. A. C. students and graduateswe daily receiving commissions in theregular army and the National Guard.Under the circumstances, then, itcould seem that the Universityis fered a valuable opportunity forservice in establishing military drill hereiring the period of the war. There could be difficulties to overcome,of orse, and the work ought to be putader strict Government supervision.To but the lay mind it seems thata nurse in military drill, practiceinapping, trench construction, fieldrittifications and military roads and
bridges would be a good thing. College credit might even be the drill for the courses, or at least the drill could be substituted for the ordinary gym work.
"What has become of the senior sings?" we are asked. They seem to have been relegated to the background along with the student union and the old fashioned two-step.
GOOD-BYES
"The class gets smaller every time we meet," commented a popular professor to his students yesterday. "I don't know how you fellows feel about it, but it seems coldblooded to me the way these men leave for war service with only a few of us to say goodbye and wish them well."
The professor put into words what a good many of us feel. It isn't easy for upperclassmen, and for even freshmen and sophomores, to leave the University and not know whether they will ever meet old friends and visit old haunts again. This is certainly not the time for the light-hearted, good-natured farewells which we say at the close of the normal school year.
A giant farewell reception should have been given for the boys who left for service; but it is too late for that now.
It is not too late for each one of us to go a title out of our way to say a whole-hearted, thoughtful, simple goodbye not only to our intimate friends but likewise to "just acquaintances" who are leaving for service. Such goodbyes mean much to the men who are leaving.
And now Mr. Foster announces that the high cost of board will decrease the enrollment next year. Meaning, of course, that it will be cheaper to join the army and let the Government feed one?
THE KANSAS ENGINEER
Those fellows who wear flannel shirts and slouch hats, and who go unshaved and carry slide-rules have reason to be proud today. "The Kansas Engineer," a publication issued annually by students in the School of Engineering, has burst forth on an expectant world, and the world is pleased.
For "The Kansas Engineer" is quite some publication. It's a big, fat, healthy sort of magazine; with lots of expensive illustrations, and plenty of good-looking reading matter which ought to be hot stuff. Our singular lack of knowledge as to the subtleties of the engineering profession forbids that we comment on that.
But it looks good, boys. Congratulations!
--man set apart, but a man standing on his own feet. But in passing beyond the days of wanton conduct and a disregard for the future, critics observe, has not the youth lost something of value in boyish enthusiasm and spontaneity, in independence? Has not an essential characteristic been displaced by the now prevalent spirit of restraint? Some observers blemma in this tendency an attempt to place old heads upon young shoulders.
Then there is that faculty pest who announces a quiz for the week before finals.
OTHER OPINIONS
The youth of college age is becoming too much engulfed in the practical affairs of the world, in the observation of some authorities keenly interested in present day education. Others have vouchsafed the opinion that the youth of today is a sordid youth, shrinking from the adventurousness of the world and willing to avoid fighting and hard knocks, the struggle of competition, at any price. Either accusation, if proved true, is omnious for the future.
THE COLLEGE YOUTH
The source from which emanated a part of this discussion upon the propensities of twentieth century youth is the annual report of President Graham, of the University of North Carolina, in which he remarks the rapid disappearance of "college local color" and the passing of "juvenile brigandage." "College life," to quote President Graham, "has become more open and less protected and less privileged, and much more like life on the outside. The sort of ethics that permitted good men in college to do what good men outside never did has been practically discarded." In other words, the college man is no longer a
In meeting such skeptical criticism it must be made clear that the college youth of today has lost none of the heritage of his fathers. He has mere natural vent in channels more considerate of his fellow beings. Youth has realized the obligation of man that hisly changed his mode of expression. He denies himself none of the sentiments of his forebears. The truth is that he has developed a wider field for the expression of ennobling emotions, and his frivolous instincts have not been curbed, but have found a existence is not justifiable in itself, but is justified only in the welfare of others. The tendency of modern youth toward a more sane and regular life is not a descent to the commonplace, but a step toward the realization of a higher ideal that the welfare of the world can be advanced only through the spirit of the fellowship and inter-dependence of mankind.—Cornell Daily Sun.

COOKING CLASS SOLVES HIGH COST OF LIVING
Event Commemorated by Prof E. H. S. Bailey in Poem Dedicated to H. E.
How to save "left-overs" and prepare foods economically will be demonstrated for the public some time next week, probably Friday, by the class in special problems of the de-
velopment of home economics. Cookies will be made from bread crumbs and other processes equally wonderful to the uninitiated.
Endeavors by the department to reduce the high cost of living have been commented upon in a poem by Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, head of the department of chemistry. Professor Bailey reduces the cost of a meal in a logical fashion through seven verses to the lowest common denominator:
A HOME ECONOMICS "TRY-OUT"
They cooked a meal at thirty cents,
Of protein, starch, and cheese,
Six courses fine you had from whence
Six courses fine you had from wh
To eat whatever you pleased.
A quarter ought to be enough For any studious men,
With sugar, cellulose, and stuff,
Five courses with baked hen.
They did so well and lived on that,
Try twenty cents a plate;
The family is "standing pat"—Four courses "while you wait."
But fifteen cents is better yet (the Cost of living's high); Some soup, your appetite to what, Three courses with meat pie.
A dinner good can sure be made Hygienic at a dime,
Hygienic at a dime,
With hash and gelatin to aid
Two courses, served on time.
One course is well within our means.
So choose the food with care.
Protein and starch you'll get from beans.—
Fine grains.
Five cents you sure can spare.
We'll not draw on yours.
We'll not go down another cent;
We'd rather leave the class.
Another out we know just meant
We rather leave the class.
Another cut we know just meant
Our eating hay and grass.

SPRING SCOURGE SWEeps K. U.
CAUSING MANY FATALITIES
A few cases of the dreaded epidemic of spring fever have been reported on Mt. Iulac. Although the cases are rare, there is great danger of the disease spreading, and the greatest precaution is being employed by the faculty in checking it. Past attempts to find a cure have been futile; but the professors are not discouraged.
P. W. Claassen of the department of ontology believes that he has found a possible preventive and cure which he is trying out on his morning classes. This morning he announced that the class which is deemed most worthy and makes the highest average will, near the close of term, be given a holiday and a treat at Brick's. Mr. Claassen is very optimistic over this cure and it is hoped that other instructors and professors will take immediate steps towards adopting this plan.

Purdue Seniors Operate Cars
As practical material for a thesis of a "Study of the Owl Car System," several Seniors of Purdue University have been operating trolley cars in the city of Indianapolis for the past three months. The experience includes a study of the average profit obtained on the line, the advisability of extending the system and adding more cars and men, the source of additional material, and the advisability of modifying the fare according to the length of the ride. The regulation of the fare was also considered in the light of the number of people the company carried and the risk that occurred in carrying that number, and their liability in case of accident.—Ex.

STUDENTS CAN ATTEND UNIVERSITY ON $340
"Yes, I think it's possible for a student to attend the University on $340 a year," said George O. Foster this morning. "I can't promise you how many movies and dances he can attend or how many pairs of $12 shoes, how many cut flowers or nut sundae he can buy, but he can pay for them." For dresses, clothes, and pay for necessary incidents on that amount.
But Cannot Buy Flowers. Ice Cream and Other Luxuries, Says Foster
Mr. Foster thinks that, although we don't notice any difference in the crowds at the movies or in the ice cream parlors, next year it will hardly be possible to get a dish of ice cream. It seems to him that the only logical or wise thing is for the government to control the food supply and apportion a certain amount to each one. "I hardly believe they are eating ice cream in Germany every day," he added.
"American women are a lot more foolish and extravagant than men. They are the slaves of fashion, and would rather be dead than not in style. Perhaps this war will be a less difficult experience for us to sense. I believe the Lord has sent it to teach the American people sainter and simpler living."
Let us figure on that next banquet.
As for board reaching $10 a week next year, Mr. Foster thinks that is out of the question. The present price inflation and speculation is momentary and unnecessary, and if it continues long the government will take matters into its own hands, and board the economy to prevent government to prevent starvation and famine. If this measure is not adopted, a University Commons may be established where food can be bought at reasonable prices, or else the boarding houses may be under the control of the University so that they are operated by an operative buying and feeding. A town market would be a very wise thing instead of the many small grocery stores keeping up the prices.
WALTER S. MARS Propristor and Manager.
"No, I don't think there is any cause for worry about the price of
board being beyond one's reach." Mr. Foster concluded: "But I do think we must give up our present-day luxurious and pampered tastes. When I was a boy we could sit down to a dish of mush and milk or apple dumplings, and that only. Yet we lived."
Japanese Bank Statement
Boomerang to K. U. Man
A letter recently received by Chancellor Frank Strong from Eli Davis of Spring Hill enclosed a queer Japanese bank statement which Mr. Davis asked to be referred to some Japanese student in the University of Chicago, and he referred to Shi-ichi Takaki, the orly Japanese student in the University.
Takaki recognized the statement as that of the first bank in Tokyo having a woman president and connected with an article that he had written about the story, “The look” magazine two years ago. Takaki was more than surprised that the identical matter be referred to him after he had made such a thorough study of the bank. He knows more than any other person in America.
The bank statement was discovered among some of the man. Davis' old papers and was found to differ much from the records of a day bank. It gave advice on ten different points to the patrons of the bank. It also gave instruction on industry, thrift, reflection, sympathy, charisma, self-esteem, morality, gratitude, and cheerfulness.
In a letter to Mr. Davis, Mrs. Krin Sino, president of the bank, expressed the hope that relations between the states and Japan would ever be the best.

NEB. ATHLETIC BOARD DECIDES TO HOLD MEET
Captain Rodkey Predicts His Team Will Win By Fair
Margin
The Kansas-Nebraska dual track meet, which is scheduled for Friday afternoon at Lincoln, will be held unless unexpected bad weather causes postponement according to word received by Manager W. O. Hamilton from the Nebraska athletic board last night.
Although the Kansas track meet has been considerably weakened by the withdrawal from school of some of the best men, Captain Fred Rodkey believes that Kansas has the Nebraska and the Missouri team meet next Friday by a fair margin. The captains assert that Kansas will defeat the Cornubians as badly as the Tigers did Kansas in the meet here last Saturday afternoon.
Nebraska's points will probably be counted in the dashes, weights, and hurdles, as the Cornhuskers are strong in these events. Overman, the Nebraska miler is also good in his race it is believed here that Sprowl will have little difficulty in winning first place in this event. The Cornhuskers are also fairly strong in the two mile race.
The hardies are probably the weakest places on the Jayhawker squad. No experienced hardier is out for these events since Casey and Seward withdrew from school. Rudolf Uhlrau and George Yockum were practicing their events since the Tiger team here and are showing up fairly well. Uhlrau will peeled considerable skin off his left knee going over the sticks yesterday afternoon but the injury was not severe enough to keep from continuing the practice. The entries in the games will likely be the same as in the Missouri Meet last Saturday.
Saturday.
The dope on the Kansas,Nebraska meet as viewed by Captain Fred Rodkey is:

Swimming examinations for women who wish to get swimming credit will be given May 17, 21, and 24 according to Miss Hazel Pratt, instructor of physical education for women. It will be necessary for all women swimmers who wish to get credit for their swimming in the department of physical education to take an examination on one of these days.
The Cornhuskers called off the tennis match with the Jayhawker team for next Friday and Saturday at Columbia, yesterday afternoon. Captain Cowgill said he did not reason for cause the games off but could be believed that Nobraska did not have much of a tennis squad this year.
Manager W, O. Hamilton telegraphed to Illinois last night for a tennis match for Friday and Saturday. If a match is not secured with Illinois it is probable that the manager will try for a match with Oklahoma A. and M.
Coach McCarty's proteges lost a six inning practice game yesterday afternoon to an All-Star nine, composed of graduate K men, freshman players, and a few undergraduates, by a 1 to 2 score. Ernst Uhrlaub, a south paw, pitching for the All-Stars played an exceptionally good game and did not allow the Varsity sluggers a single hit.
Connie Poirier, the little but speedy Jayhawker twirler, pitched a good practice game yesterday allowing one hit and faming six of the All-Star players. He allowed two walks. Mutch made it two errors for the Varsity while McIlhenney the only error for the All-Stars.
The invitation high school meet scheduled to take place on McCook Field Saturday afternoon will be a mighty holly contested affair if the diligent practices and workouts of the Lawrence high school tracksters has any significance. Almost every afternoon the high school athletes work out on the McCook Field track in preparation for the meet.
J. O. Gunnels, c'17, will act as resident engineer in waterworks construction next year for Black and Veatch, consulting engineers of Kansas City.
GILBERT M. CLAYTON IS

INTEREST IS RENEWED IN WOMEN'S ATHLETICS
Baseball is Popular—First Indoor-Outdoor Game Tomorrow
Interest in women's sports is centered on baseball and tennis as present. The first interclass game of "indoor-outdoor" baseball will be between the freshmen and the sophomores, on the Women's Athletic grounds south of Robinson Gymnasium, at four-thirty o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The class tennis tournaments will take to tomorrow and last until some time Saturday. Manager Hamilton will give the women athletes the use of three or four of the McCook Field courts to use for the tournament.
The baseball games between the different classes are the first that have ever been held by the women of the University, according to Coach Rickey McGraw. The indoor baseball played out-of-doors," said Coach Pratt. "It is more or less of an experiment here, but I had great success with the game on my playgrounds at Minneapolis, Mim., and I also had a great interest in the game here."
Nine women play on each side, but there are two shortstops and no center fielder, because the fielders have very little to do. There is no such thing as stealing bases, so that two umpires are necessary—one for the left wing and one for the right. Bertha Mix and Miss Mary Bacon have been selected as umpires.
The games will be held under the management of the W. A. A. association and the management of each class will be under the supervision of a class representative. The class representatives are: Freshmen, Ruth Trant; sophomores, Carol Martin; seniors, Joyce Brown; and seniors, Annne Cunningham. It is not certain that the seniors will have to team but it is probable that they will, according to Coach Pratt. About thirty-five freshmen and about twenty-five sophomores are out to make the team for the first game.
Plans are being made at the University of Texas for a reserve officers' training camp to be established on the campus for the summer months.

DRILL TO CONTINUE
TILL QUIZZES----SHAAD
Four Weeks of Voluntary Training Has Done Much for Discipline of Men
WANT REAL ARMY GUNS
"The voluntary drill classes will continue as now organized until quiz week," was announced by Prof. G. C. Shaad, head of the university military training command. "Whether he comes next or cannot be determined at this time."
Regulation Rifles Would Put More Pep Into Men Than Wooden Ones
The men are picking up the work rapidly, company commanders report. Four weeks of drill have made a marked difference in the promptness and accuracy of the men in carrying out orders. The men say, however, that they had regulation army equipment. Dummy riffles made in Fowler Shops are the nearest thing to the army equipment the companies have.
MEN ARE ENTERTAINED
Considers that the drill is voluntary, the men are the task very well under the warm weather, said an officer yesterday. Many of the 125 men who were accepted at the officers' training camp at Fort Riley were enrolled in the military training and drill classes. Their names were dropped from the company's roll. Other men in the drill classes joined the National Guard and are now drilling with the guard units.
"Compulsory military training at the University would be a fine thing," said Professor Shad. "Any one who is trained in compulsory voluntary drill classes cannot but be convinced compulsory military training at the University throughout the year would make a lot of difference in the men, physically and in military strength."
"MIGHT GET ARMY OFFICER
"IF compulsory drill were
stablished in the army,
a regular army officer to take charge of the work. The men would put more snap into the work and reach a greater effeci-
tion."
WANTED--LOTS OF TEACHERS
"In case military drill is made compulsory, the men who have attended drill classes faithfully this spring will be available as officers next fall."
Calls for Superintendents, Athletic Directors and Teachers Flood Office of School of Education
Men wanted for the teaching profession, is the call of the Bureau of Appointments to the University of Chicago to be a teacher make positions in schools over the state.
So far seventy-five students have secured teaching positions through the bureau. An equal number have made application to various schools, but only about one in three More than two hundred calls for teachers have come into the office.
"We have calls for superintendents, principals, and athletic directors," said Miss Florence Shanklin, secretary of Prof. W, H. Johnson of the School of Education today. "We can't wait to hear how military service began to be popular. Men who care to teach have opportunity to secure positions just now."
Besides the war, another factor that makes applicants scarcity is the law concerning eligibility of teachers which went into effect in September. Teachers in school schools must hold a teacher's certificate and an A. B. degree.
COMING FOOTBALL TEAM
WILL HOLD REAL PRACTICE
Coach Beau Olcott said this morning that he expects to get in one good week of intensive football practice about the last of May. At present the players have not decided whether they will stay in school, go home, take military training, or just what they will do.
Coach Olcott says that after the excitement is over he will probably be able to get twenty or thirty men out for one week of real practice. He believes this will accomplish a great deal of good in preparation for the beginning of the football season next year. He argues that difference athletic representatives decide to abolish intercollegiate athletics at the meeting May 25.
Museum Gets Valuable Books
"The Mammals of Great Britain and Ireland" by J. G. Millail, is one of the most valuable recent additions to the Museum Library. The volumes contain beautifully colored plates of the various inhabitants of the animal world in those countries. The three volumes are valued at $120.

PAUL FLAGG PRESIDENT
Sigma Delta Chi, honorary journalism fraternity, held its last meeting of the year last night at the Pi Kappa Alpha house. The part and problems of the newspaper man in the present war were discussed.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 17, 1917.
The following were elected officers for the coming year: Paul Flagg, president; Eugene Dyer, vice-president; Lawson May, secretary and corporeal for the Quill, the fraternity treasurer; and Harry Morgan treasurer.
QUICK FIRE AD MAN TO TALK TO STUDENTS
Henry Schott, Formerly of K.U.
Comes Back to Explain
How He Did It
"His eyesight was ruined," so ran a ityame a cub reporter wrote.
The night editor took one swif. glance at the item.
"Was his earharming injured?" he asked coldly.
The foregoing represents a little scene on the Kansas City Times one night when Henry Schott was night editor several years ago. It represents, too, the effective and original writer as a reporter, then as editor, and in the last six years as a highly successful advertising man. Mr. Schott probably would have been a success as a teacher of journalism or English, for young newspaper men who never forgot the question of training under him never forget the question of fire, practical lessons Henry Schott peopled them with day after day.
Mr. Schott will come back to K. U. tomorrow to speak to classes in the department of journalism. He will tell of experiences in editorial and advertising work, and at 3:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in 102 Medic Building he will give a general talk on Human Necessity." This talk will be held by all students and all students are urged to attend. Mr. Schott is advertising manager for one of the largest merchandising establishments in the world. Since he left K. U. some years ago he has had an interesting and active career. After achieving a good measure of success in the editorial department of a great paper he did a thing very few have done. He have been able to do. He quit the intellectual side of newspaper work and took up the advertising "game". His success as head of a big agency led to his present position.
The inquiry came quick as a flash. The cub reporter's story had scarcely reached the night editor's desk before that dignitary had spotted its errors and instantly driven home a lesson that the cub never forgot.

Miss Bell will be assisted in the first number of her graduating program by her mother, Mrs. Olin Bell, fa '92. Another number by Miss Bell will be taken from her mother's graduating program. Mrs. Bell gave her graduating recital twenty-five years ago in the old Methodist church, then she married a teacher at the site of the present Masonic Hall. Miss Bell has studied under Prof. Carl Prever under whom her mother had one year's graduate work.
Miss Bell is the first of the second generation to graduate from the school. She and her brothers were students of alumnae of the school have graduated but did not take their degrees.
Prof. A. T. Walker, of the department of Latin, will teach Cicero and Caesar in the summer session of the University of Chicago July and August. He was an instructor in the spring before coming to K. U. Professor Walker will teach the first six weeks of the summer school here.

Walker to Teach at Chicago U
Owing to a shortage of coal at the power plant, the supply of steam at the Chemistry Building was cut off last Friday and the chemists were forced to be distilled water instead of being distilled water. Distilled water are used each day in the laboratories. The steam was turned on again Wednesday.
The Student Council will give a dance in F. A. U. Saturday night. The may be hot," announced Herb Mee, "but I'm going to be there."
CITIES SHOULD HELP FARMERS GET HANDS
Establish Free Employmen Agencies to Relieve Rural Labor Problem
"The cities of Kansas should establish free employment agencies in order to furnish the farmers with help during the continuance of the war," is the opinion of Homer Talbot, secretary of the league of Kansas farmers. "The city will be a great demand for farm labor and it is the duty of the cities to help relieve the situation.
"Co-operation between different cities would be necessary to shift the workers to the best advantage. The idea of municipal employment agencies originated in the Iowa Municipality, League and it is gaining success now in next issue of the Municipal Magazine will feature employment agencies.
"One of the most important factors in winning the war is going to be providing an adequate food supply, and Kansas and the mid-west will be looked to for maximum production. It would be advisable for cities to take up such a role, but it would be able for farm work. These men should be listed with the free employment agency and in this way the farmers could be put in touch with them.
"All municipal improvement work, except that absolutely necessary, should be postponed until the end of the war to release as many men as possible from the laborious work as building water works, however, should be continued."
"K" BEANS ARE COMING UP
Favorable Reports From Garden Planted for Home Economics Canning and Food Preparation
The University beans are up in the University garden. That is, the Sure Crop and the Black Wax varietie. The University beans are just now being planted.
Sweet corn, Ford Hook lime beans, and chick peas are planted in the University garden, but they have not made their appearance.
The idea of the University bean crop is to furnish home grown material for the home economic department for experiments in preparation and canning of vegetables, especially beans and corn.
The Tepary bean will be an interesting addition to the garden, since it is an Arizona plant and has not been grown extensively in Kansas. It can be grown in the rich soil this bean is often raised on the clover crops the last 200 years. It is drought resisting and, if adapted to Kansas soils, should be a good crop to plant in dry years. When a plant is grown in Kansas that have set on ripen and after a rain the plants revive and begin setting on more beans.

NEW BOARD IS NAMED TO MAKE OWL HOOT
Five Men Elected to Publis
Humorous Magazine—Old
Owls Leave Fund
Officers for next year's Owl society and the board that will publish the Sour Owl were elected last night. The officers chosen are: President, Raymond Hemphill; vice-president, Ray Walters; secretary and treasurer, Kenneth Bell. The Sour Owl board is: Lawson May, Eugene Dyer, Willard Hilton, Eben Mitchell and Ewart Plank.
Plans for issuing the magazine enrollment week were discussed and the matter left in the hands of the new board. Work will begin immediately contributions from the entire University, students and faculty, will be used.
The old Owl organization, that published the magazine this year, met after the meeting of the newly initiated members, and decided to turn the money over to Registrar Foster to be held for use, as a loan, on the Sour Owl for next year. This greatly will increase the interest in the magazine as, heretofore, the fund had to be stood personally by the students publishing the magazine.
Much material is already in the hand of the old board that was to be used on the Sour Owl this year but the war disturbed the plans and the last issue did not appear. This will be turned over to the incoming board at a meeting of both boards Sunday through Thursday, up of: Don Davis, Harry Morgan, Walter Havekorst, Warren Wattles and Richard Treweke.
COMPANY M LOSES 9 MEN
Orders From Fort Riley Ask Release
of Students for Offices
Training Camp
Company M will lose nine men who will go to the Officers Training Camp at Fort Riley. First orders received by the commanding officers of the company called for a discharge of the men accepted for the camp, but the officers gave them only a leave of absence, lost recruiting officers said this morning.
The men going to the camp are:
Byron McGinnis, H. T. McGinnis,
Floyd Couchman, R. T. Rader,
Boyd Ralph, Carroll B. Kell, Boyd Ralph, Rush and Virgil Orlarch.
The present total enlistment in Company M is eighty-nine men. Sergeant James Grinstead said this morning there had been no enlistments for several days, but that the company still wanted men.

UNIVERSITY CATALOGUES
TO BE OUT IN TEN DAYS
"Catalogues for the school year 1917-18 will be ready for distribution in about ten days," said Registrar George O. Foster this morning. The catalogue will contain a summary of this year's work and the work to be given next year. The catalogues will be mailed as soon as they are ready.

Now that thirty men reporters have left school to go to the farm or to take a job or to go to Fort Riley. Besides the reporters, us Kansan folks have lost ten men from the Board. So this is the way we feel when we go to press; kinda lonesome. PI hangs around and the kids in the neighborhood come over to look on.

The University Band will give an open air concert on the Museum steps the night of May 25. Open air concerts at the University are a custom adopted by Director J. C. McCanlies. Last year, however, only one such prowess could be given because of bad weather. The band remain a week after quizzes and furnish music for commencement exercises.
Plain Tales from the Hill
HOUSEHOLD HINT NUMBER FOUR
Banana pests make a good substitute for a real, honest-to-Greeish shine when rubbed heavily and gently on the surface of the shoes. Lasts one day anyway.
Save and Conserve!
There's lots of whispering going around the rounds these days. It's all because the representative from the College to speak at the Student Day exercises is to be elected Friday morning and, they say, the girls are running one of their own for the job. The election will be between classes at eleven-twenty o'clock Friday in Fraser Hall and they're already lining up their candidate. That is, the girls are. Boys haven't said much.
Letters from the soldier boys at Fort Riley are beginning to arrive in Lawrence. And the boys seem to be asking themselves as best as possible
But you ought to come anyway.
When the war started, the French department of the University grew patriotic and started to do its bit. A class in French trench conversation was started. Interest kept up until last week. Then all members but one stopped coming. Not that they didn't like the course. But they had to go to Fort Riley. This one lone member expects to serve in the French ambulance corps and wants to know enough French to be able to talk.
Milton Nigg writes: "The food we get here is real luxurious compared to that we have been getting in Lawrence at the boarding clubs which were suffering from lack of funds. We are now working on the slightest detail, even having a wrist watch. The watches are of the Radiolight type and at night the bunks are as light as if a hundredwatt tungsten was burned. . . . When we aren't eating and drilling and sweeping and sleeping, we are going to K. U. reunion. . . . Going to get a piano and have some real music."
And here us K. U. kids who stayed in school are burning the proverbial mishiteoil and still eating sinkers and.
Clifford Butcher put in his application for the Officers' Reserve Camp at Fort Riley. His papers were sent to Chicago with the rest of the bunch that were never referred to. So the Reserve camp had to start without him. And in the course of human events he wanted a job. To help city jobs he took. Now he is on the Excursion team to the place of a near go out to Riley.
Butcher isn't the only one up there from Kansas, however. Glendon Allive is on the telegraph desk of the Times, taking that place Monday of this week. Harry Morgan is doing reportorial work on the Times and Darald Hartley is in the Kansas City Kansas, office of the Star.
For all of which the Kansan is proud.
When one gets to be an upperclassman one likes to be so designated and recognized. Which brings us to the point that we have to apologize for a certain little something we said yesterday. In issue number 154, which was yesterday's note, was written that folks sitting on the greenward wall men. But they were not. And deny the charge. All of them were upperclassmen except one, and he's the guy that told us about it.
Ray has been the possessor of a sore throat and a cold for two weeks now. Missed a few classes because she was sick, he profess to explain the absent marks.
ORMOND HILL WRITES OF FORT RILEY LIFE
"Smatter?" asks Professor Hunter or in words something like that. "Professor Hunter, if you will parade me in saying I, I wish to report to you that I have had an extremely bad cold and I've worked for the two weeks and have been unable to attend classes. I got in a draft and contracted this severe cold" responded the truthful Ray in his best English.
"Army draft or otherwise?" asken the professor.
Habit is a mighty strong thing when it gets a hold on you. Going to the library is one thing, and being excused from the dinner table is another thing. This lady o' the Hill frequently visits the library. And studies. The other day she got up from one of the tables and in a hoarse voice said, "Please excuse me." Habit is fierce.

Living out of doors certainly makes a fellow feel fine and this three months ought to put us in mighty good physical condition—writes Ormond Hill to the Kansan. This is the first of a series of new letters from students using interesting happenings of the camp life at Ft. Riley.
An idea of the kind of life led by the men at Fort Riley can be had from a letter received from Ormond Hill this morning. By request of the Kansan, Hill has promised to keep students at the University in touch with the developments at the camp. His first letter follows;
To the Daily Kansan: Training work started in earnest this morning and those coming to the camp with the idea that they were on a vacation trip have decided by now they have come to the wrong place.

Saturday morning is reserved for inspection and drill on any points that are needed. We have Saturday afternoon and Sunday free. Taps on Saturday night sounds at 11 o'clock or the o'clock as on other nights. On Sunday revenue sounds forty-five minutes later than on week days.
They did not start us off on that program at first, as it will take us some time to get used to the work. After breakfast this morning we had setting up exercises about fifteen minutes and drill an hour and a half. After that we were given a short rest and then another hour's drill. This after them were assigned to permanent squad training in elongated oaths. We are due now for inspection and many of the fellows are straightening up their beds.
There are fifteen companies in the camp. The first twelve are quartered in the cavalry and artillery barracks. The last three companies are in the temporary barracks. The regiment are large stone building and look very comfortable. The new barracks are smaller and made of wood.
The grub has been good so far.
The men have all they want to eat and they certainly eat like a bunch of harvest hands. If any one does not get enough, all he has to do is to call the mess sergeant and he will fix it.
Living outdoors certainly makes a fellow feel fine and this three months ought to put us in mighty good physical condition. Sincerely,
Ormond Hill.
WAR CUTS DOWN ORDER
FOR Y. M. FROSH BIBLES
The war has cut down the order for next year's "K" books. Formerly about 2,000 of these "Frost Bibles" were distributed. Only 1,000 of them have been ordered for next year. Hugo Wedell, secretary of the Y. M. Murdoch believes the enrollment next year will be up to 2,000 books, even though the supply this year was not sufficient to meet the demand.
CARL VROGMAN MAY TALK
ON FOOD ECONOMY HERE
An effort is being made by F. R. Hamilton director of the extension division, to have Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary of agriculture, speak at the University. Mr. Vroman will be in Kansas City next Monday. It is hoped he may be here Monday or Tuesday to speak on food economy.

"No man can produce great things
with himself." — Loweil
with himself." — Loweil
K. U. is proud that such a man as Arthur Nevin is a member of her faculty. She was proud last year when the announcement was made that he was to come to Mount Oread. She was proud after his arrival, as she watched with interest his work with choruses at the University and over the state. The incidental music he composed last year for "The Stuff of Laughter" added to his fame. And now comes the announcement that the Chicago Grand Opera will present two of his operas next season. His "Poia" and "The Daughter of the Forest" are to be given in Chicago and New York. We are glad—and proud!
THE GRAFT QUESTION
Seniors may not admire the young man in the Registrar's office who collects their diploma fee, but they have to hand it to him.
The graft question is receiving considerable attention at the University just at present; and a powerful antigraft sentiment seems to be sweeping over the student body. The Kansan is glad to see it.
The time has come when student managers of student activities should be placed on some other basis than one which allows them to fool the public in any manner they choose and and pocket the proceeds. The "cheap" parties at "top notch" prices which have been given during the last two years testify as to that. The student public is beginning to rebel. It does not want more elaborate parties. It wants more careful management, a saner system of payment for the promoters than that of "grapes," and a lower admission price.
Happily, the newly elected president of the student council is taking prompt action in regard to the solution of the graft problem. Together with Registrar Foster, whose attempts to get statements from the student managers have failed miserably, he is working on a plan which, when put into operation next year, promises to do a great deal toward cleaner methods of management in student activities.
"It can't be done," says the old time politician. "There's always gotta be some graft, and you can't get rid of it."
The newer policy is to *try.* "And we'll succeed," say the champions of the better method.
Most anybody ought to be able to borrow enough books to fill a five foot shelf.
A CALL TO ARMS
To fill the student ranks which will be butchered unmercifully by conscription lists and enlistments, an immediate and forceful attack must be
made upon the Kansas 1917 High School graduate. There is no time to be wasted; the summer drive must begin now. This is the call to arms.
The brunt of the fight—the burden of filling ranks riddled by patriotism—falls upon the Registrar and the University's publicity director. Both officials will gladly do—are gladly doing—their full share of the work. But they need the assistance of every loyal student now in the University.
Every one knows the meaning of the word "rush" as applied to a fraternity's process of getting new men. Members of the student body must employ a similar method and "rush" for K. U. during the coming summer. Begin now by interviewing the Registrar about your high school friends, and see that they are sent letters of introduction, a catalogue, and such other information about the University as you would have liked to have received during your senior year in high school. When you go back home this summer you will be the "follow-up" letter, and finally, the "wind-up" proposal. It's up to you to "clinch" the sale!
During vacation, when you find a University prospect, do not let him get away from you. Take him to a picture show, buy him a coke, take him to your room, show him your "Jayhawker," elaborate upon the beauties of Mount Oread, and—be sure you fulfill this last demand—bring him back to Lawrence with you next year.
Another bad thing about the "easy way" to get an officer's commission is that there isn't any such way.
"IF"
If students always studied faithfully there would be no need of fearing the finals, and hating the profs.
If students always said good morning, and smiled at their friends, they would feel better and would live longer, and make their friends feel better and prevent them from having many a grouch.
If students never felt stuck up, when they get a little praise for doing a common ordinary thing, they would give the world a better opinion of education.
If students would think before they met; if they would not get restless because their successes were slow in coming what a pleasant place this would be.
A good looking Red Cross nurse is more of an incentive to enlistment than an iron cross or a hero medal ever will be.
OTHER OPINIONS
"I have been endeavoring to form some sort of a notion of the world's supplies of food both this season and text," writes Sir George Paish, editor of the London Statist, "and have come to the conclusion that if the American people will continue to help the world to get through this time of great stress and strain by (1) growing as much food as possible and (2) themselves consuming no more than absolutely essential, the world will weather through, although the margin of safety will be very slender. Would it be possible for the ladies of America to start an economy campaign for the benefit of the women and children, not of Belgium only but practically of the entire world, for it is evident that many a poor family will not be able to buy food in the coming twelve or eighteen months in consequence of its dearness and scarcity unless those women who can afford to pay high prices voluntarily deny themselves and share the food which Providence provides with their poorer sisters? If they do this, then the heart of the world will beat with that mother-love which is all-powerful for good and which will prevent the recurrence of such a disaster as that now threatening the human race.

"There is always great danger of fire in this building," said Doctor Bailey. "We have so many combustibles stored here. Fire is always to be feared, unless great care is taken. Thoughtless students endanger the property, and may even imperil the lives of other persons."
First, a student who had been working late left a gas jet burning. The watchman whose beat includes all the buildings on the Hill found a small fire had started. He arrived in time to put it out before much damage was done. The next night another student left the building, then timing the basement were flooded and supplies stored there were considerably damaged.
In order to prevent further trouble from carelessness, Dr. E. H. S. Bailey, head of the department, has ruled that a student should be absent six o'clock and Saturday afternoons.
"Considering the danger here, we need more fire escapes and a night watchman for this building alone," said Doctor Bailey.
The new rule will lessen danger from carelessness, but since some chemicals take fire spontaneously, there are other chances for fire.
There is only one fire escape on the three story building. This is at the west end, and the whole east half of the building is left unprotected. There are three or four hundred students in the building at some hours, and most of them are on the second floor. The other two floors are occupied with offices and store rooms. At night there is not much risk of loss of life, but there is so much danger of fire a nightwatchman is needed for the building.

TWELVE BASEBALL MEN LEAVE FOR COLUMBIA
Jayhawkers Invade Tigers' Field for Last Games of
Season
Coach McCarty left this morning at eight o'clock via the Union Pacific, with twelve of the best Jayhawker players left in school, to invade the campus at Columbia, Mo., for two chasers in Brower's all-victorious Tiger nine.
The Jayhawker squad was jubilant and very optimistic over the two games and declared that the Tiger nine would suffer at least one defeat if not two in the two-game series, tomorrow and Saturday afternoons. The fact that Kansas outplayed the Utah game here May 11 is probably responsible for the optimistic atmosphere of the sound.
The squad held the final practice last night on McCook Field before leaving for Columbia it is likely, however, that the squad will hold a light practice on the Tiger diamond this afternoon or in the morning before going into the final games of the season.
Coach Brewer said that a Tiger baseball game at Columbia had not failed to bring a to two three thousand crowd this season, and that he was looking for a record-breaking crowd at the two Kansas games there.
Both Red Craig and Connie Poirier will be on hand to retire the Tiger batters. The lineup will be: Carter, McIlhenny; Bratt, 2b; Pratt, 3b; Foster, 3b; Taylor, I; Chase, cf; and Stevenson, rf. Smith will be used at the receiving position if Carter is hurt, and McIlhenny may also get into the game at shortstop. It is not certain whether he will start the game tomorrow. It is very probable that both will be used during the two games.
SPORT BEAMS
The Illinois tennis team will not be able to play Kansas tomorrow or Saturday, according to a telegram which Manager W. O. Hamilton received from the Illinois athletic authorities this morning. This leaves the Jayhawker tennis squad without a match this week. Captain Cowill and Kenneth Uhls, the Kansas players, were anxious to get a match with Illinois.
Coach Bonnie Reber's track men were out on the McCook Field track Wednesday getting into shape for the big annual invitation high school track meet Saturday. The meet this year was more than ever before. Manager Hamilton will try to bring some strong competition here for the Kansas City track squads.
Missouri's percentage of games won is going to take a considerable slump and her percentage of games lost is going to take an unexpected increase tomorrow and Saturday if the declaration comes. McCray's proteges for attending of the game seem to be surer of winning one or both of the games at Columbia than any of the games this season. We hope they are right.
The only athletic contests to be held at the University over the weekend will be the invitational high school track meet, the women's baseball games today on the women's athletic sports gymnasmand, the women's class tennis tournament on McCook Field courses, today, tomorrow and Sunday.
"Work on the new athletic field which was begun last fall by the student body is now being resumed. The football field was worked until the ground is in perfect condition, and then Bermuda roots were planted. Experts say that this will make the best sod possible.
"It is the plan of President Waters to make this field one of the best football fields in America, so he stated in a letter to the team of its baseball last winter, and it begins to look as if his goal will be reached."—Miamattah Daily Mercury.
"Slusher continues to lead the club in taking advantage of a pitcher's control. He has accumulated 11 walks, while Captain McMillan follows with 8. "Mike" Giltner holds the distinction of leading his teammates in the number of sacrifice hits with 7 to his credit.
"The Tigers continue to hit the ball as the season progresses and have not given any indications of tobogann in their hitting form up to date. According to the averages issued by C. L. Brewer, director of athletics, the Missouri aggregation has a team average 275 for the season. "King Dippold is leading the chase in instituting the offerings of the opposing moundsmen with an average of .432. Farmer and Lansinger are his close trailers.
"The Tiger twirling staff has held its opponents to forty runs and 100 hits in fifteen games. Steemmons has scored 367 runs, Giltner the Tiger south府, has five
victories to his credit. Both of these twirlers have gained a shut-out, but Morgan and Keeling have not been enthused at this season."—Daily Missourian.
SCHEDULE FOR NEXT YEAR
TO BE PLANNED IN FALL
When asked what new courses will be offered, Dr. Colego College next fall, Doin Olm Diin College.
"That is more than mortal man can say. Because of unsettled conditions the schedules will be made out at the last moment next fall, and even then there will be many changes after the opening of school. Courses will depend on the number and class of students who attend."
There probably will be three new courses in the School of Education under Prof. C. A. Buckner who will return from a year's leave of absence at Columbia University. The courses are high school curriculum, theory of social measurements, and educational measurements.
Big Sisters Drive Away
The Freshman's Blues
The Big Sisters of K. U. work all year round.
During enrollment week they spend long hours conducting freshmen through the mazes of our complicated system. Until Thanksgiving they cheer up Little Sisters who are threatened with home sickness. At examination time they act as amateur tutors.
Even then their work is not finished. Now they are looking up the high school girls who intend to enter K. U. next autumn and in the summer they write them letters in which they give the personal welcome that the University in a general way extends to all new students.
That is the programme of the Big Sisters, which is one of the most important committees of the Y. W. C. A. Their duty is to help new girls in the University in every possible way. By the aid of the Big Sisters, new students find it easier to get acquainted, and harder to be homesick. They learn the customs of the school, understand how to enjoy greenness which is the inevitable fate of the freshman who has no upper-classman to act as adviser and friend.
The committee has been working hard this spring in an effort to get in touch with prospective students. The College will be sending next year's freshmen by writing to the principals of high schools throughout the state for lists of senior girls who plan to come to the University. As soon as all the principals are assured, the Big Sisters will begin to write "Welcome to Our College" letters.
"But it's fun," said a Big Sister.
"The little Sister can help us to help" says the Little Sister.

TRACK SQUAD LEAVES FOR NEBRASKA TODAY
Captain Rodkey Believes His Team Can Win Easily Friday Afternoon
Capt. Fred, Rodkey, with sixteen other Jayhawker track men and Coach W. O. Hamilton left this morning at 11:42 von the Union Pacific for Linnville, where Kansas will meet the Cornhusker track team tomorrow afternoon.
The Nebraska-Kansas meet was originally scheduled for Saturday afternoon, but it was changed to Friday afternoon so that Coach Hamilton could return to Lawrence in time to take charge of the annual invitation game on Saturday. A hundred or more high school athletes are expected here Saturday.
The Jayhawk tracksters believe they will win from Nebraska. Captain Rodkey predicts that Kansas will have a twenty-one point margin over the Cornhuskers, including the relay, events, high jump, broad jump, pole vault, and the relay. Nebraska is strong in the dashes, weights, and hurdles. Woodward and Ziegler, however, will furnish the Cornhuskers some strong competition in the weights. Woodward won first place at the state championship meet here Saturday and also took second place in the shot put.
The Kansas distance men should break a few of their records on the Nebraska track as it has but recently been finished and there are but four laps to the mile. The track is in extenuating conditions of the races should be fast. The only change of entries for the meet tomorrow will be Rudolf Uhrlau in the
120-yard hurdles and George Yoehum in the 220-yard hurdles. Both men have been working out every afternoon since the Tiger meet. Captain Rodkey, Sproull, O'Leary, and Murphy will run the relay for Kansas.
The entire Jayhawker squad were out to the light practice yesterday afternoon getting a final workout in the gym. The men seemed to be in high spirits and should be in their best condition of the season tomorrow. Yoehum, the new hurder who skimmed his left knee Tuesday afternoon, said that the injury had healed up entirely and that he was in good condition for the meet.
The Kansas track men who went to Lincoln this morning and who are going to bring back the long end of the track meet tomorrow are: Capuchin Sproull, Murphy, Stateler, Howland, Groene, Pattinson, Ziegler, Rice, Miller, Grutzmacher, Woodward, Uhrlah, Yoeum, and Crowley.

NATIONAL GUARD UNITS ORDERED TO MOBOLIZE
NUMBER 156.
War Department Advises Governor Capper That Troops Must be Ready
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 18, 1017.
CAMPS TO BE OPENED SOON
Captain Jones of Co. M Thinks Local Organization Will be Called Early
Official orders from the War Department to send the Kansas National Guard to a training camp in the South August 5 were received by Governor Capper today. In order that Company M, the University's National Guard organization, may be ready to leave for the training camp in the South August 5, if will be necessary and the armory in Robinson Gymnasium early next month, said Captain Jones this morning.
PROBABLY EARLY MOBOLIZATION
Probably ten days before the entire Kansas Guard is mobilized at Fort Riley to be fully equipped and muscular. The Gymnasium will assemble at Robinson Gymnasium and make an effort to fill its ranks up to full war strength of 150 men. The entire Gymnasium will be mobilized and trained by M, and all the men will live there.
PROBLEM EARLY NORMALIZATION Last Company is demanding orders to mobilize its 19th force for Fort Riley June 23. Because of the urgency of the situation last summer, the troops were ordered to the Mexican border July 7. Captain Jones thinks it entirely probable that the entire Kansas Guard will be assembled at Fort Riley at least a month before it is ordered to the training camps in the South. It will require a month, he thinks, to fully equip and man all the regiments. This will make it necessary for Company M to assemble his troops. If this proves to be the case, the guardmen will not be home long enough to assist with the harvest. This has been given as a reason why the Kansas troops were the last to be called to the colors.
The government has issued orders permitting the various National Guard units throughout the state to recruit to full war strength. Combat units may be swapped for strength of 100 men. Moreover, several men were discharged in order that they might take the officers' training at Fort Riley. Company M is also faced by a shortage of equipment. Only about one-third of the force is necessary for the company at war strength is now on hand at the armory.
MORE TRAINING IN SOUTH
By sending the guardsmen to the training camps in the South they can be trained and used in maneuvers all winter long where weather conditions might interfere materially if the camps were in the North.
Under the present plan, the National Guard and Regular Army will be fully equipped and trained by early spring. It is pointed out that from the Army will come the First detachments sent to Europe.
HAS REAL WORK TO DO
Governor Capper Recognizes Great Need and Sets May 20 as Y. M. C. A. Sunday
Sunday, May 20, has been proclaimed as Kansas Y. M. C. A. day by Governor Arthur Capper. On this day he has asked ministers of the state to make special mention of Association work and Association needs, with a view to arousing widespread public interest and support.
The immediate need of the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. is $3,000,000 to build buildings and furnish all facilities and secretaries to carry on the work of providing the needs of the enlisted men in the camps. Of this amount Kansas must raise $75,000. Governor Capper's proclamation is a recognition of the work.
Figures give what an army of a million men will require: 200 wooden association buildings; 1,000 experienced secretaries; 200 pianos and players; 200 moving picture machines, 288,000 feet of film daily, 200 graphophones, 10,000 records, 3,000,000 sheets of writing paper daily, 10,000 pens a day, barrels of ink, and magazines by the hundred tons.
President Wilson has referred to the Y. M. C. A. as an "organization prepared by experience, approved methods and assured resources to serve especially the troops in camp and field."

"Nothing definite about the University situation can be known until the appointment of the new board," the Chancellor said this morning, "but little change in University affairs is expected."
SCHOTT TAKES SHOT AT DISLOYAL GRADS
Urges Successful Alumni to Aid School That Gave Them
a Start
"The surprising thing to me in the K. U. graduate is the apparent lack of direct interest he takes in the University after he leaves. He does not seem to have the feeling of gratitude that is shown to other schools."
This is the arraignment of K. U. spirit given by Henry Schott, student of the University in 1892. Mr. Schott, now director of publicity for Montgomery Ward & Co., with headquarters in Chicago, is here today speaking to students in the department of journalism
Mr. Schott is specific in his friendly criticism.
“There is nothing material on the campus except one stone bench to show the regard which the alumni hold for the school,” he continued. “The University is growing old enough now to have many men who have been successful in business and who should show their appreciation.
"I believe that sentiment will crystallize soon so that former students of the University will show their devotion to the school and the faculty by doing more than paying their alumni dues."
With this serious message off his mind, Mr. Schott found time to recall his student days and comment on the changes.
Mr. Schott and Russell Whitman,
now manager of the Audit Bureau
of Circulations, composed the business
of the audits, and a superior,
a struggling four-page weekly.
"We collected on Friday so we could pay on Saturday," said Mr. Schott. "It was hard to get cash. We could give plenty of show tickets we had for her, but bar there was usually a hack about my door when I was missing meals."
Mr. Schott came to the University from Leavenworth with a number of comrades who were known on Mount Oread as the Leaven-worthies."
"That always struck me as funny," he admitted this morning while enjoying an hour on the campus with Charles Dillon, managing editor of the Cappar farm publications, and L. N. Fint, of the department of journalism, who worked on the Kansas City Star together before the days of money last came to them. This morning they rehashed the good old days and their relation to the present. Mr. Dillon, who is recovering from an extensive series of dental engagements, thought worthy of comment that he had paid in theust before he had emerged from the influence of the anaesthetic.
Mr. Schott, despite his important position, longs to return some time to the active news game in which he served a long term. After leaving the University, Mr. Schott was general utility man on the Leavenworth Times for a year. When he joined Kansas City of the became city of the paper's edition, the Times. Next Mr. Schott established an advertising agency in Kansas City, and a year and a half he took his present place.
Waste Nets Profit
After accepting an invitation to speak at the University Carl Vroman, assistant secretary of agriculture; found today that he cannot come. Mr. Vroman telegraphed F. R. Hamilton, director of the Extension Division, this morning that he could be in the city to give an address to the eleventh-room or one thirty o'clock. As these hours would interfere with the regular class schedule of the University, Mr. Hamilton telegraphed Mr. Vroman that it would be impossible to arrange the lecture at this time.
To a Kansan reporter, Mr. Schott seemed still an aggressive city editor. An opening query was interrupted by Mr. Schott's "Where is your note from?" The book appeared and from it Mr. Schott's opinion of University spirit.
The waste paper collected from the buildings and the campus were sold recently to the Lawrence Paper Mill and netted a profit of over four hundred dollars. The scrap iron and old pipes around the Repair Shops were sold also and brought in mgrre than two hundred dollars.
Vrooman Cannot Come
LAW SAYS STUDENTS NOT LIABLE FOR RENT
Many Differences Arise Between Those Leaving Early and Their Landlads
Now that the end of the school year is approaching, some students are having trouble with their landlades concerning the amount of room rent
"According to the law," said Prof. B. F. Moore, "if a student has no contract there is no obligation for him to pay more than the amount actually due for his occupancy of the room. If a student has a contract and is over twenty-one, he is legally bound to live up to its terms. Or if he is a minor and the contract has been sanctioned by his parents, it is binding. A minor may also contracts except for necessities, that is, he need not pay more than for the time he actually occupied the room.
Several landlords have complained because men students going home for work on the farm or enlisting have refused to pay for the month or anything past the time during which they actually occupied the room.
"The same rule applies equally to women students." Professor Moore continued "University organizations are taking more moral obligation upon women students."
Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women, when interviewed concerning the situation said, "Most of the women have contracts for the school year ending June 7. If the landlady asks that the rent be paid to that woman she would comply. Women need not pay any and after June 7 whether they have or have not contracts for the present year."
FRATS DEPEND ON FROSH
Serious Problems Confront Sororities and Fraternities Since War
Took Many Students
Maintaining / fraternity house next year promises to be a difficult business proposition because of the withdrawal of men students either to enlist or work on farms. Sororites and probably an increase.
The raising of the draft age to twenty-one and the order for all medics to stay in school may make it possible to maintain a house, fraternity hall or other place. The number of freshmen pledged next year will be unusually large. If the war continues no expenses for social affairs will be included in the fraternity budgets. Professional fraternity leaders practically the same basis as the social.
The Sigma Chis, Sigma Nus, Ph Gams, Ph Kappas, Acaciaes, Sig Alphs, Kappa Sigs, Phi Psis, Betas, Phi Pka Alphahs intend to run their school this year. The Delta Taus and the six members of the Ti Upsilon fraternity now enrolled have made no definite plans. The alumni membership of these fraternities help the chapter here if necessary. Help the chapter here with the new Alig Hca house this summer.
Legal and engineering fraternities have been hardest hit because they haw their members largely from the Alpha Delta, professional engineering fraternity, is enrolled in school now and only four members of the Theta Tau, professional engineering fraternity, have made any plans for next year.

Return to Present Series of Thre Outdoor Plays in Summer Session Engagement
Senator Borah says in his reply: "I thank you for your letter. Something of this kind might possibly be done but I should think it would not happen." He then still seeking recruits. It would seem to me, perhaps, to discourage any fellows who might want to handle their own money. Later it might be entirely practicable and certainly would be wise to do something of that type, but it could be in mind and I shall talk with some of the army officials about it."
COBURN PLAYERS TO COME
"Let there be a legislation making it possible for the boys to buy a government loan, a dollar or more at a time. In England the newsbys and everybody else can invest as little as a penny in the form of a stamp which is stuck into a book and when the amount accumulated reaches a certain sum, it is exchanged for some other money." Can't sell this sort be done and opportunity provided at recreational headquarters for investing any portion of the month's pay in what is in effect a government bond?
"Won't you please think seriously
you think well of it, be

Dean Sayre of the School of Pharmacy attended a meeting of the State Pharmaceutical Association at Topena Tuesday and Wednesday. He had spoken on the improvement in quality of medicinal agents since the enactment of the Food and Drugs Act. A paper was read by Mr. Congdon giving statistics of the work of the development of analysis in the University.
The fifth annual presentation of outdoor plays by the Coburn Players will be on the campus June 22-23. "The Yellow Jacket" will be presented Friday evening, "Much Ado About Nothing," Saturday afternoon, and "Romeo and Juliet" Saturday evening.
The public look forward with pleasure to the coming of the Coburn Players as they are one of the treats of season. They are brought here by the Summer Session of the Company to a meeting of all of their seeds go to the Company and the remaining money to the Summer Session.

The others, having finished their letters, proceed to discuss war—and warriors. The unlucky ones leave the piano and paper, and go in to hear the latest from the front. "Just think," Mary is saying, as she folds up two letters addressed in the same writing, "Ed says that he scrubbed floors all his spare time yesterday, and that he got up at five-thirty, and that——"

Marie interrupts. "And Boots says they vaccinated him in one arm for typhoid, and the other one for small pox, and that he is awful sick, and that they have to march anyway, and that fifteen fellows fainted, and fell right out of the line, and—Oh! Isn't war awful?"
"It's simply inhuman. I know John isn't strong——"
"And they all have to wear wrist watches!"

Plain Tales from the Hill
HOUSEHOLD HINT FOR MEN
Weather is getting hot. We've taken off our vest so as to feel the cool Oread breezes. Also, we have been forced to put on a clean shirt.
Don Davis was a busy little boy this morning. At 9:10 a.m, m. precisely he placed a glass case containing pictures of Helen Topping and her dancing pupils in front of the bulletin board near the entrance of the cafeteria. At 9:30, when he passed up the spice, the glass case had disappeared.
Wouldn't it be great to have been taking five hours' work under Prof. W. W. Davis and five hours under Prof. H. D. Harper? Uh huh, it would, they both have gone to training camps leaving their classes teachers. So when the kids get two hours of sleep the daytime. They have to take regular finals, but whosoagnon worry about that?
A little sleuthing revealed that John Shea, superintendent of grounds and buildings, had ordered that the pictures be taken to his office, and kept there until he said they might then been away. After hunting for Mr. Shea over the campus, Davis finally managed to get him on the telephone.
"Say," he asked, "what was the idea in taking away those pictures?" "How many times," inquired Mr. Shea with dignity, "have I told you not to lean signs and posters against the University bulletin board?"
"Nary a time," replied Davis. "But say—can I fasten it to a tree?" "Sure," said Shea. "Come and get it."
"I'll bring my gang," said Davis. That's how it happened that Donald Dwight, the latest editor of the Kansan, and Walter Heworker, president of the Student Council, were seen carrying the case across the campus at 10:45 o'clock. It was hot work, but they made it.
The pictures have since been on view under the sheltering branches of an oak tree.
Talk was progressing nicely. The Pi Phis were entertaining a few members of the Romance language department at dinner. They had come to one of the difficult courses, where it is hard to eat and talk at the same time. So most of them were eating. But one of the instructors, from Portugal, who teaches his native language, was bound not to let the conversation drag. He wanted to know.
"How many inmates have you here," meaning all right.
If you were a warrior, what would you rather be, a recruiting officer or a soldier?
At Riley they get up at 5:30 which is early, collegially speaking. And then they drill all morning and all afternoon.
They have a recruiting station to the National Guards in Robinson Gymnasium. Three men are the recruiting officers. Robinson, Grinstead, and Montgomery. Robinson and Grinstead sleep in the armory upstairs. And arise at noon every day. Montgomery stays at the City Y. M. C. A. He pulls into work about nine every morning.
And still they say every man has some doubt.
The University is doing its bit in many ways. The beans are growing in our garden. The dandelions are furnishing cotton enough to start a bandage factory. But what we started to say was that the faculty is doing its bit in furnishing speakers for graduation. To start young men and women of our great state off on the right foot high school authorities use University of Kansas faculty man. Chancellor强 went to Glassday today to talk at the commencement event expressing his public speaking department has been out all this week telling the young high school folks what's what. Prof. U. G. Mitchell spends a week at high schools delivering addresses. Other members of the faculty talk occasionally to high schools.

EVEN WAR CAN'T STOP KANSAS--TIGER RIVALRY
Wint Smith Says College Men Are in Majority at Ft. Riley Camp
LOOKS LIKE A WAR CAMP
But K. U. Boys Have Plenty to Eat and Are Getting Used to Life in Camp
B. bits of personal news of the K. U. boys at FT. Riley are always of interest. The following letter from Wint Smith to George Montgomery gives an idea of the kind of men, the work, and a summary of what goes on at the training camp. Smith was on last year's football team and is a member of the newly elected student council.
Ft. Riley, Kas., May 16, 1917.
You asked about the work we are doing here. The drill and organization is just the same, except that here you have one more command in charge of each squad. The fellows crab at the meals and the non-coms just as the privates did in the army last summer. The non-coms here are just as those in the army—good, bad, and harmless. There is a lieutenant in command of every platoon on the ship and the oak saw service as a private in the Philippines and Cuba during the Spanish-American War.
Each platoon has a separate room in the barracks, and school for the platoon is held there by the lieutenant of the platoon. The lieutenant has a desk, a chair, a table and an arm in turn. The assignments cover about ten or twelve pages of the drill or the guard manual. We are asked to commit lists of definitions of such terms as base, file, alignment, battle sight, etc. Our instructor is not very dexterous, but our instructor is quite cratic, for he usually decides the way the majority think.
There are 172 men in my company.
This gives the company nineteen squads, and it is so large that the first squad cannot hear the last squad respond. Only one man who can command the company and make his commands heard.
The personnel of the company is as varied as humanity itself. The club man from St. Louis, with his horn-immensed glasses, his kid gloves, and his Charlie Chaplin mustache, is here. He wears silk pajamas, and his name, on an embossed card, is placed neatly on the foot of his cot. He tries to maintain George Washington's standard for table manners, and so far has almost starved to death as he attempts to adapt teaching to reach and help himself and perhaps by the end of the month he will have acquired a code of table etiquette that will make self-preservation a little harder for the rest of us.
The college man, also, is here. He comes from Yale, Syracuse, Cornell, Kansas, Colorado, College of Emporia, Friends, Baker, and Denver University. My company is a typical college bunch. The fraternity men have enough pins on their shirts to noticeably staple them. One thing is noticeable; the men from the West wear their pins on their khaki shirts at drill, while those from the East wear them on the dress shirts in their lockers.
Every one has to be inoculated for typhoid and vaccinated for smallpox. They certainly work fast here—only they can get the vaccine. Two men in this company fainted.
I haven't seen many of the K. U. men yet. There are only six of them in this company. They are Jolliffe, Kenneth Gedney, J. W. Johnson, "Buck" Seward, F. E. Potter, and John Madden. I have seen Dick Trewele and Richard Small. Pat Pedroja is here and doesn't look any larger in uniform than in civilian clothes. When he presented his notion to the captain said: "How old are you, how very nice Sir?" was the reply. Swede Vernon and Jick Fast are in a company just across the quadrangle. Jick is still wearing a civilian cap, owing to a shortage of small sized hats.
There is a bit of good natured rivalry between the Kansas and Missouri boys. But there is one thing that makes this game so interesting is the name of Lindsey. They respect that name just as we respect the name of Simpson. Anton Stankowiak is here. He is not as particular as he seems to be, but he is in no way the name of No. 3 leagues and a No. 8 hat.
Bonnie Reber is here, too, and at present is out on the drill ground doing "squads right" and "squads left" in his shirt sleeves. In the same company with him are Fischer, Richter, and Ford Coe.
Well. I must close. Send us a
Kansan once in a while. Wint.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of its students, further than merely printing the news for them; it also values the university holds; to play no favorities; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be patient; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

FOR THE RED CROSS
Judging is balancing an account
on which the odd
lie — Locke.
University students will be present in large numbers at the dancing recital in the Bowersock Theater next Tuesday night for the benefit of the Red Cross. The use to which the proceeds of the entertainment are to be put is sufficient to warrant that.
But there is another reason why we will attend. Miss Helen Topping, director of the performance and one of the soloists, is a former, K. U. student; and her ability as a dancer is well known to every upperclassman on Mount Oaken. From what we know of her past achievements, we are quite sure next Tuesday's performance will be an artistic delight.
THE SOUR OWL
You're going, aren't you?
"War Funds Mount to $300"—Kansan Headline. It must belong to the cavalry.
Members of the old Owl Society took a long step toward insuring the permanence of the Sour Owl in its present form when they decided Wednesday to devote the profits from the publication of the magazine during the past year to financing the magazine next fall, when it is issued by the Owls who have just been initiated.
The Sour Owl long has been the black sheep in the journalism family at K. U., and the Kansan hopes that its reform is to be permanent. With the money made by the publication this year as a basis upon which to build, the newly elected Owls should be able to continue the magazine in its present elaborate form. According to the wishes of this year's board, this money is to be returned to a trust fund kept by Registrar Foster, and used annually to promote the publication of the Sour Owl.
The members of the new board are well fitted to continue the publication. Eugene Dyer and Lawson May have won their journalistic spurs on the Kansas; and Willard Hilton, Ebben Mitchell, and Ewart Plank were identified with publication work in their high school days. Mitchell has had some experience on the Harvard Lampoon.
Go to it, you new Owls! The Kan
san wishes you success.
Poets who write free verse take advantage of the fact that this is a free country; but so do the people who do not read it.
THE Y. M. C. A.
Members and supporters of the University Y M. C. A. have a right to be proud of the annual report of the organization, which has just been issued for this year by Hugo Wedell, the secretary. The report shows the association to be in a better condition at this time than in any previous year.
The organization can well be proud that it has 1,000 members among the men of the University. It should look with extreme gratification on its work of securing jobs for 600 students, and thus helping them to earn their way through school. It has a right to get puffed up over the fact that 200 men did active work in the organization during the past nine months, and that attendance at the religious meetings for the year was more than 3,000. And the Handbooks, the representation at Estes Park, and the work of the rooming house inspectors only calls for more praise.
Many of us fail to realize what a big part the Y. M. plays in University affairs. Engrossed in our own particular phase of student activities—athletics, journalism, dramas, politics, we find our religious tendencies taken care of by the down town churches, and overlook the part the Y. M. plays in practicing Christianity on the campus. That is why, when a report such as Mr. Wedell's is brought before us, we admire it so heartily.
Good work Dutch!
Considering the time spent in having their pictures taken, it's no wonder the armies in Europe have to have so many aviators.
FOR TWO WEEKS
The "Soldiers of the Soil" and the candidates for the Officers' Reserve training corps who have been accepted have left. The long line of students waiting to withdraw, which was a daily sight during the earlier weeks of the war, has disappeared from the hallway near the dean's office. The University is probably reduced in numbers to the point where it will remain for the rest of the year.
Things aren't the same around the campus. They can't be—there are too many missing faces. But we are no longer confused by the continual leaving of students and instructors, and the University can at least assume the normal.
---
Two weeks of the school year are left—one of classroom work, one of quizzes. Let's calm down now, get back into the harness, and prepare to bust those quizzes between the eyes! Let's try to do it with a minimum of excitement.
There's no getting away from it—That phrase "admitted to the bar" will have its pleasant connotation!
You can't move one step ahead if you use one foot continually kicking.
OTHER OPINIONS
AND WHY DO YOU WORRY?
So many of us spend a notable amount of time going about telling folks what we have to worry about. The following excerpt from the philosophy of a French soldier is not such bad philosophy for any of us, for that matter. According to the Independent, this is the way he puts it:
If you are mobilized there is no need to worry. If you are mobilized, one of two things is certain: either you are behind the lines or you are in front.
Of two things one is certain: Either you are mobilized, or you are not mobilized.
If you are behind the lines there is no need to worry. If you are on the front, one of two things is certain: either you are resting in a safe place or you are exposed to danger.
If you are resting in a safe place, there is no need to worry. If you are exposed to danger, one of two things is certain: either you will be wounded or you will not be wounded.
If you are wounded, one of two things is certain; either you are seriously wounded or you are slightly wounded.
If you are slightly wounded there is no need to worry. If you are seriously wounded, one of two things is certain: either you will recover or
If you recover, there is no need to worry; if you die, you can't worry.— Hillsdale Collegian.

If our ex-president T. R. seems to think he has some power and wants to take a regiment to France, why then give him a fair chance. What's the use to fool around; why pound the table and stamp the ground, then take a week for hot debate, and ask him not get action and respond by letting Ted go 'cross the pond?' Furnish him with ammunition and gun; say "go to it teddy"; hop to 'em when you're ready, and smite them every one. Tell your men to blow their flutes and help Sam settle the discussion line; chase the rascals 'cross the Rhine. Go ahead Teddy, as you did up San Juan Hill.

It's a glorious thing to 60;
For putting that back of the pump and power
Most men have a goal in view.
On all that they have to stay
if not, you should in some quiet hour:
or at night.
Would they have their stories told?
They'll say the joy that they treasure
Are their good friends, tried and true,
And an honest name for their own to
be.
I've talked with men and I think
And peace when the day is through.
I've talked with men and I think know
What's under the toughened skin. I've seen their eyes grow bright and more.
With the fire that burns within
and of the gold and back of the
fame.
Of the nobler things of life.
—Edgar Guest,

The average library is an institution that is about one-fifth read.
The girl who has the opportunity to stand in a public place and stroke a man's coat sleeve 'cool' in make and shade-'is' taking a mild advantage. The girl stands on the curb in mute adoration and watch the khaki clad pass by.
The man who will cling to a "stubb" from the house to the tennis courts; thence to Brick's, and later to the library—where he deposits it in the basement to resume it later—will surely cherish a wife all the days of his life.

Beauty hard pressed, seems never at a loss. The steel plate on a typewriter, the circular nickel of a telephone, as well as the reflection in a shop window, the sheen of a pool and the shadows cast by a tell-tale sun, are exactly where to place a hairpin and sprinkle an ounce of powder.
Old maids can get along without husbands, but they cannot outlive the temptation to tell why they didn't take them.

DEAN TEMPLIN AROUSES WHOLE COLLEGE WORLD
Universities Everywhere Enter Liquor Fight Started by Kansas Professor
Dear Dean Templin is receiving letters from colleges and universities every day expressing approval of the fight started by Kansas to prohibit the use of food stuffs in the manufacture of intoxicating liquors. He calls for a change in Kansas senators and representatives protesting this abuse and copies of his letter to the dean of every college in the United States.
"The nation is being aroused at last to the injustice of taking students out of school to produce foodstuffs, only to have those foodstuffs used in liquor manufacture. In many cases withdrawal from school at this time will mean the sacrificing of a college career." Dean Templin says.
Dean L. D. R. Briggs of Harvard says: "Your question to the senator is hard to answer; and I shall be interested to see what he says. Though I vote regularly for 'no license' I have never belonged to the National Prohibition party; also I see some injustice in the government's allowing enormous industries to grow, and then cutting them off suddenly, the reasoning of those who demand that the grain needed to feed the world should not under these conditions be turned into alcoholic drinks."
J. B. Johnston, dean of the college at the University of Minnesota writes that telegrams demanding prohibition during the war have been sent by that University to all Minnesota congressmen.
Dean Joseph Denny of Ohio State University says: "Everybody here is alive to the necessity of such action, and if it is not already taken by the students, you should be glad to turn in and take an active part in bringing on this reform."
"The University of Michigan already has taken a stand on prohibition. The Senate Council authorized the president to send such a telegram in the name of the University and that has been done." Dean John R. Effinger of the University of Michigan says in his letter.
H. Y. Benedict, dean of the college at the University of Texas, says: "Before receiving your letter a petition embodying the same idea had been circulated. this will be sent to our representatives in congress."
The petitions sent to the University of Missouri are being circulated throughout the University and in Dean J. C. Jones writes.
A letter was also received from J. A. Reinhardt, president of the Citi Union. Patterson, N. J., asking which the union will circulate.

CANKER WORMS GET ELMS
Many Large Trees on Campus Badly Damaged Because Bands Were Not Used Earlier
In spite of the fact that the city of Lawrence gave $2,000 to be used for the control of the canker worm, many of the giant elms on the University campus are defoliated as badly as they were last sprig. This is because their main tissue of control, were not placed on the trees early enough, entomologists say. The bands for the coming year will be placed early in December.
Many elms were lost last year because the elms in Lawrence are white elms, a variety most susceptible to insect pests. Many elms that died last summer were attacked by cancer worms several years previously. While in a poor condition they were attacked by the wood borers. With both these insect pests to fight, close co-operation on the part of the local authorities would be helpful if any of the elms are to be saved.

HIGH SCHOOLS COME FOR INVITATION MEET
Tenth Annual Scholastic Even Tomorrow Draws Many Athletes
The big event in men's athletics over the week-end will be the tenth annual Invitation High School Meet, which will be held tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock on McCook Field. Over one hundred of the best players from Missouri and Kansas are expected here for the meet, according to Merr. W. O. Hamilton.
Full track teams will be here from Kansas City Central high school, Kansas City Manual high school, Kansas City Westport high school, Kansas City Northeast high school, Kansas City, Kas, high school, Topeka high school, and Lawrence high school. All three athletes, there also will be twenty star track men from various high schools over the state.
Manager Hamilton said there were some mighty good athletes on the Kansas City squads and that he had selected what he believed the best high school track man of Kansas to compete with them. This will make every event hotly contested, and add interest to the meet. This meet is the largest of all high schools every year, and all of the best athletes of the two states compete for what is practically the championship of both states.
The Lawrence high school squad has been practicing out on the McCook Field track for about two weeks and should be at their best when the first event starts at two o'clock. The Lawrence squad is strong in the weights and expects to win most of its points in these events. Andy McDowell, the coach on the squad who is most likely to place in the meet, Paul O'Leary, a brother to Dummy O'Leary, will be entered in the dashes.
All of the athletes who will compete in the meet are prospective K. U. students and athletes. University students should make them feel as welcome as possible, urges Manager Hamilton.
SPORT BEAMS
The first women's out-of-door baseball game that has ever been played at the University was played yesterday afternoon on the women's athletic grounds south of Robinson Gymnasium, between the freshman and sophomore nines. The women showed a lot of enthusiasm in the game, and it was far more exciting than would naturally be supposed.
Overheard in yesterday's game:
Atlanta.
Don't kill the cow, Miller!"
"You can't put a man out on a foul ball, can you?"
Etc., etc., etc.
"Who's umpin' this game, anyway? "
"Put one over the plate, sister!"
Eto. ete. ete.
A word should be said in regard to women umpires. There were two umpires for the women's game yesterday, one for bases and one for balls, but from several of the decisions it is believed by this sport writer that there is argument for more umpires. The umpire of bases did exceptionally well, especially establishing the fact that a great many of her decisions were handed down on plays she did not see. Some allowance should also be made on the fact that the game was the first that either of the women had ever umpired.
Swimming in Potter's Lake is the principal sport in the evenings at present. The water is plenty deep for swimming and we should also say it is cool and refreshing from the noise which many of the swimmers made yesterday evening when they made a deep dive.
The Jayhawk baseball nine will play the first of the last two games of the season at Columbia, Mo., this afternoon. The Tigers have plenty of winning dope from their record so far, but the Jayhawk players said they would not think of coming back without one or both of the games. We will not say which team is going to win but believe that the games will be the most hotly contested games of either team this season.
The Kansas track squad has the dope to win from the Cornhuskers at Lincoln, Neb., this afternoon, and unless there is a terrible upset in dope track it back a victory with fifteen or twenty players on the track was reported to be in excellent condition, so that a few new records may be chalked up.

FROSH WOMEN ROMP ALL OVER THE SOPHS
Ruth Trant's Nine Defeats Carol Martin's Team by Score of 52 to 15
By making something like a total of one hundred hits for fifty-two scores, Capt. Ruth Trant's freshman women's baseball nine won from Capt. Carol Martin's sophomore proteges by a 52 to 15 score in a seven inning victory against the athletics ground south of Robinson Gymnastics yesterday afternoon.
The game was the first women's baseball game that has ever been played at the University, according to Coach Hazel Pratt. It was really indoor baseball played out-of-doors, but the court was enlarged considerably so that it took faster and better play. The equipment necessary for the game is a bat and a regulation indoor baseball.
Luck was with the freshman women from the start and Captain Trant won the toss of a coin and chose the field in preference to the bat. The sophomores started out good, however, and succeeded in running in three scores before they were retired by the necessary three outs. The freshmen scored twice and finished in the bat. At the beginning of the second inning the freshman teamwork tightened up and the sophomores were put out by the one, two, three route.
The freshmen came back strong in their turn to bat, and smashed the ball out for a total of eight runs on a mixture of hits and sophomore errors. Mary Macy starred for the freshmen and led the team in three innings. The sophomores annexed two more runs in their time to bat, and the freshmen put five women across home plate in their turn. The sophomores did not score in the first half of the fourth inning, but the freshmen scored three times for a total of twenty-four runs in their half of this inning, thus tucking the game away safely.
The sophomores made two more runs in the fifth inning and the freshmen made four. The freshmen wanted to quit with the close of this inning as the time was some after six o'clock, but the sophomores insisted on playing a seven innings game as was scheduled, believing that they could overcome the freshmen lead in two more than they did not succeed, however, as they continued their innings the two innings while the freshmen succeeded in getting nine, making the total score 52 to 15 in favor of the freshmen women.
The freshman lineup was: L. Miller, pitcher; M. Gear, catcher; Capt. R. Grant, first base; L. Cander, second base; J. Coffin, third base; H. Bender, first shortstop; L. Pierson, second shortstop; E. Williams, left field; E. Macy, right field; and M. Marshall, who replaced L. Carner at

TENNIS TOURNAMENT OPENS
Turner and Parkinson Each Take Two Straight Sets in Lower Class Contests
The women's class tennis tournament started yesterday afternoon at two-thirty o'clock with a freshman clash between Dora Turner and Zolan Kidwell, the former winning two straight sets. 6-1, 6-1.
The second match was between Jeannette Parkinson and Eva Robinson. Miss Parkinson also won in straight sets, 6-0 and 6-1. Miss Parkinson outplayed her opponent from the first, although Miss Robinson played a fast, heady game. It is probable that Miss Parkinson will go to the finals with a good chance to win in the sophomore class.
Cora Shinn upset the dope in the senior class by defeating Florence Ragle, who was considered a favorite for the finals in her class. Miss Shinn won in consecutive sets, 6-1 and 6-1. There are several good tennis players in the senior class, and it is uncertain just who will reach the finals.
The junior class had no matches yesterday but started today. The greater part of the first round of class matches will be played off today.

"A Romance of the Redwoods" presents a Western subject of the days of '49 and offers a red-blooded theme of continuous action, including spectacular effects in the way of Indian battle scenes. The story begins in a New England home and moves to the wide plains of the West and the great redwood forests of California. The picture is unlike any production in which Miss Pickford has ever appeared, and tells the tale of a Boston girl who travels to California and becomes enmeshed in complications as a result of her love for an outlaw.

KANSAS CITY CENTRAL WINS INVITATION MEET
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 21, 1917.
Missouri School Takes Cup Out of the State by a $ 28 \frac{1}{2} $ Point Victory
BRADLEY POINT WINNER
K. U. Interscholastic Records Broken in Quarter and Fifty-yard Dash
Though winning first in but two of the fifteen events in the annual invitation track meet, Central high school of Kansas City carried away first honors with a total of 28½ points. Cherokeo, Oldhamia, with the Brads' place as the only entrée to second place with a total of 17½ points.
Of the Cherokee school's points, 15% were made by Everett Bradley alone, who was the highest individual point winner of the meet. Bradley won first in the shot put, first in the broad jump, first in the discus, second in the one hundred yard dash, and tied for second in the high jump.
Bradley has been individual point winner in every meet he has entered this year. In the Oklahoma state meet Bradley has taken taking firsts, a second and a third.
Though winning the highest number of points of any entry, Bradley showed no more class than Jack Evans of Osage City and Tom Neely of Ablence. Each of these boys broke into interscholastic record and the other.
The first record to fall was in the fifty yard dash when Evans clipped one fifth of a second from his own record of five and three fifths, made in the Invitation meet in 1915. A little later in the one hundred yard dash he equaled the record of ten and one-fifth seconds made by Butler of Hutchinson in 1912, and equaled by Collier of Marquette in 1915 and by Evans himself in the Heepsholls meet two remarkable this Feat is the more remarkable when it is considered that Evans lost a shoe and was compelled to finish without it. Two watches out of the four caught the time in ten seconds flat.
Neeley later in the afternoon tied the record of 22:4 in the 220-yard dash when he breathed the tape and crossed over from City. City in the prettiest race of the day.
The next record to fall was in the quarter when Neeley of Abilene finished that event in 51:4, clipping one fifth of a second from the record held by Whittaker of Reno County. In this race Neeley was never crowded and finished nearly twenty yards ahead of the field.

Another closely contested event was the relay which was won by inches when Siler of Northeast nosed out Bruce of Topeka at the finish. This is the first relay lost by the Topeka quartet this season.

REPORTERS ARE BASIS FOR ARMY'S WELFARE
Henry Schott Tells Journalists How They May Serve Nation in War
"A newspaper reporter through ceaseless publicity of unsanitary conditions and other evils in army camps may save more lives in this war than any graduate of a medical school," wrote the editor of the Kansas City Times, who spoke to classes in the department of journalism Friday afternoon.
"This is precisely what one middlewestern newspaper accomplished through publicity given to the unsanitary conditions at the mobilization camp at Chickamauga during the Spanish war. A captain at this camp was an old reporter and his team was part of the in the camp. Thus started the agitation that brought about the removal of the troops from this camp.
"Through the captain, who didn't forget that he was a reporter, and through the co-ordination of the editors and reporters this paper was able to do a great service to thousands of soldier boys. The good reporter is constantly on the watch for news; he never forgets his business. Sooner or later every reporter has an opportunity to write a big story, and the opportunity often comes at the most unexpected times."
Mr. Schott holds that no one but a mental phenomenon can write a correct news story of any considerable length without notes. All reporters, he says, should use their notebooks forty-nine times out of fifty for the accuracy and natural sequence that it will give their stories. One of the best stories Mr. Schott ever wrote, he says, was an interview with an actor taken verbatim in a stuffy dressing room at the night's performance. Mr. Schott believes that had he attempted to improve what the actor said he would have lost the effect of spontaneity and would have spoiled the story.
"If I had a dad to train for a business life, I would like to have him under a seasoned city editor for a couple of years," continued Mr. Schott, "Every reporter must meet many critical situations without preparation. Given a mission a reporter must plan his campaign, he must get the facts quickly, and before leaving he must determine whether he has fully accomplished his mission. The average business man has much more time to make decisions than a reporter. It is this practice of analyzing situations quickly that trains the mind to solve problems in any field."

War Has Called Half of Law School Men From Their Case Books
More than half the students that enrolled in the School of Law last September have withdrawn. Most of this number have reported at Fort Riley for officers' training, and the remainder have gone to other farms. Only twenty men remain in the junior class and eighteen in the junior.
On account of the present age limit most of the students that have gone were six year men. A special bar examination was held in Topela for the men who wore glasses and were admitted in June. Those men who took the special examination expecting to be taken at the officers' training camp, but who failed to get in because of the large number of applicants, will be compelled to attend the examination next month, even though they have passed the special examination.
Uncle Jimmy is very much grieved over the loss of his boys and wishes that he could go in their places. "They were a great loss to me," he said, "these fine young fellows just starting into manhood."
"This war is going to hit the school of Law mighty hard," said Uncle Jimmy Green, dean of the School of Law. "They are taking all of my boys and it hits me hard." We have here. I wish that fifty more women that are as good students as she is would come over next fall. We are going to need them in this field. Most of the boys left are under twenty-one. Women are going to have to take their place and the sooner they start the better."
In answer to various inquiries as to the number expected next fall Uncle Jimmy said that he would be billed half the usual number would enroll.
POTTER NOT OPEN TILL
SUMMER SCHOOL STARTS
Potter's Lake will probably not be open for swimming before the end of the semester, according to C. B. Harrison, assistant professor of physical education, this morning. The scarcity of water in the lake, together with the cool weather have made swimming in the lake impossible. The present rain cannot have a decided effect upon the condition before the end of the week, which marks the last of the gymnasium work.
However, the lake will no doubt fill before the summer session takes up and those attending summer programs will use the use of the lake for swimming.

Estes Park and the Y. M. C. A. conference there this summer June 7-18 inclusive was the cause of a meeting of all men interested Saturday night in Myers Hall. Registrar George O. Foster, who has been at the camp two summers and is going again this time, told of the meaning of the camp to him and what it meant to him he be faculty or student. He is positive of a fund of one thousand dollars from W. R. Stubbs to be lent to men who haven't the money for immediate use. Fifteen men have signed up to go.
Plain Tales from the Hill
This coming back to your Alma Mater after bucking the world and its battles for two weeks, is great, according to Darald Hartley and Harry Morgan who were down yesterday from Kansas City where both of them have newspaper jobs. But the world is o. k. also, they are agreed.
H. T. Martin, assistant curator of paleontology, has been granted a year's leave of absence. He owns an orange grove in Florida and expects to live there with his family during his vacation. He intends to visit some important fossil-beds in the central part of the state.
Over to the Achoth house yesterday Nell Blurton had a date. With an out-of-the-city minister. The sisters not to be left in the dark and wishing to create atmosphere got out all their clothes. They filled up with the stands, tables and kitchen sink. The minister was impressed. It means another date.
If the soldier boys went to other cities in Kansas and Missouri as they came to Lawrence this Saturday and Sunday Fort Riley was a deserted village. And if the girls hung around the soldier boys and broke dates in the other cities as they did in Lawrence the stay-at-home boys retired early. The Union Pacific station was crowded last night when the last train at a reasonable time left. Some of the boys had two or three to whom they had to say good-bye. And the good-byes were as if the boys would never be back. And most of them expect to be back next week.
Talk about selective conscription. It is already in force at Riley. First place Paul Grever, the K. U. politician who also used to dabble in the catering business has been set to work peeling potatoes at Riley. Kept him at it all day. Then Dick Small, the boy with the mustache wore or started to wear silk pajamas when he retired at night after the business of the day was over. Now the pajamas have been placed at the end of a broom stick and are serving their country by being used as a mop.
Things were looming mighty promising for the Gamma Phi Beta sisterhood yesterday afternoon. They were going fishing. Gail Hall didn't intend to fish, however. She carried a rifle, said rifle having real bullets and eye sighter. Another one of the sisters carried a trout line. Nothern had a tin can with one (1) worm and a piece of meat. They were dressed in blue jeans, going on a fishing trip have a license to dress. Caught a car for Haskell. Got off there and started in a general southeastern direction. Haven't heard any fish stories this morning. Can't tell what they did do.
Gotta nother place for you to spend your evenings. Great scenery, great surroundings. Fine place for you to enjoy in Gotta's notther Lake. Here's how you do it:
Sit on the stone wall bordering the lake on the east, from where you gaze to the west and see landscape reflections on the watery screen through the dusk's fading light. This done, you open your ears and listen. Pretty soon you'll hear a bullfrog in the pool calling to its sustainer. Sisters and friends will all the relatives and friends join in and you have a regular symphony.
This stuff is good either with or without a date.
Three o'clock had just struck by the town clock when the still calm night air of Mount Oread was shattered by the earthly and unearthly shrinks of madmen who had mounted the Hill and taken the Kappa house by storm. Not exactly taken the house but the three men in the mob had surrounded it. The trio was stewed and taken out of the stewed in our bone dry state. They serenaded the Kappas. But no aplaease came forth from the darkened windows. Their voices went higher and louder with each song. This lasted forty-five minutes. Then the Ph Kappas who live on the side of the Hill with sleeping porch fronting on the source of the noise became thoroughly aroused. Over the phone we found that he was to be allowed to disperse the serenaders. Permission was granted and in a moment eight Ph Kaps were after the sweet singers. Didn't catch them but found out who they were.
DRAFT LAW AFFECTS WHOLE COLLEGE WORLD
Medical Schools Will Be the Only Ones Not Hard Hit Next Autumn
REGISTRATION JUNE 5th
Government Will Use Selection Process for Conscripting Men
Suspense is at an end. The unceasiness under which the students have been laboring for two months is over, for they all know that the draft bill became a law when President Wilson signed the bill Friday.
EFFECTS FELT HERE
The bill, which provides for the immediate organization of an army of 500,000 men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty, will probably have its effect on the University next to where it is located. The men in the University are of that age. It will be only by the process of selection, which the government is going to employ, that some of the students will be able to return.
The effects of the present war situation are noticeable at the University now. The School of Engineering has lost more men by enlistment and withdrawals than any other school. From thirty to forty per cent of the men in the College have withdrawn for legitimate reasons, and the School of Law has been similarly affected. The senior law class, which began this semester with fifty-five members, has dwindled down to twenty-six. Few students in the School of Medicine have withdrawn because Medics can do nothing more valuable to the country than to continue their course.
ALL MUST REGISTER
June fifth is the day set for registration. All men of the prescribed age are required to register, either in person, or by mail.
"It is the college and university man that this country needs in the army," Theodore Roosevelt has said. "They should show more patriotism they have been showing, and should be made to serve their country."
FOUR CONCERTS THIS WEEK
One Program Will Consist of Original Numbers, Composed and
Plaved by K. U. Students
The School of Fine Arts will present students in four recitals this week. The first recital will be Wednesday at four-thirty o'clock and only original compositions written by students of the school will be given. The program will consist of piano, violin and vocal solos, and four vocal works. This will be the first recital of its kind ever given at the University.
Mrs. Tad Powell, musical critic for the Kansas City Star will come here for this concern because of her work on the school board and criticize the work of the students.
The second concert will be given by the University Orchestra under the direction of Prof. Wort S. Morse, Wednesday evening at eight-fifteen.
Mary Preyer, pianist, daughter of Carl Preyer, professor of piano, assisted by Dorothy Hatch, violinist will give her graduating recital Thursday evening at eight-fifteen. Vila Jones, Viola, will give her graduating Hall; Hilla will give her graduating recital Saturday evening at eight-fifteen. The concerts will be in Fraser Hall.
To Make Soul Tests
Dr. Charles A. Shull, of the department of botany, will carry on an experiment this summer to determine the amount of evaporation from the soil. He was given the soil sampling tube of the Oread Training School Saturday and started his experiment by taking samples of the soil to a depth of a few feet in a potato and corn field. Samples of the soil in the two fields will be taken at regular intervals during the summer and the data obtained will be given to the government to aid the crop growers.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate at Kansas to go further than merely printing the news for university students; to hold vicious holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind and to help others; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university and to qualify the students of the University.

"We are more inclined to hate on another for points on which we differ than to love one another for points on which we agree." Dilton
DOES IT?
She looked tired and worn, and had dark circles beneath her eyes. "I am so sleepy today," she said. "Yesterday afternoon I went kodaking; then in the evening my roommate came back from Topeka with a lot of things to eat, and we ate and talked until it was quite late. I had all my studying to do after she went to bed. It was three o'clock when I quit studying, but I didn't get to sleep until four. I am going to a picture show tonight, and don't suppose I will turn in much earlier."
Does it pay? The human body can stand only a certain amount of wear. Does it pay to crowd so many things into one day, and be irregular in habits at the expense of one's strength and health?
IN THESE ABNORMAL TIMES
Somehow there isn't much time left for rotten school politics, for graft, not pettiness and meanness. The man who has distinguished himself for cribbing and bluffing and showing himself a mere sham looks pretty small when questions of patriotism and sacrifice and ideals come up. War certainly has its horrors; but the big ideals which it encourages makes us ashamed of deceits and shams and hypocrites.
Nothing is more undesirable in these stirring times than that the educated college man should follow the crowd and cast his normal life to the winds. Nothing is less to be desired than that a man should forget that war, while a grim business indeed, is but an abnormal ripple in an otherwise smooth sea. Certainly it is not a condition under which one should "lose his head."
Without mature reflection students are too willing to let all of their life plans drop as they stand and take on a mental attitude of no-use-to-plan-the-end-is-here. Now such an attitude is decidedly unoptimistic to say the least, for tomorrow's sun will surely shine, and many a college man will return to complete his plans for the future.
Let the student be rational. Let him proceed to lay out his life plans as he would normally do, throwing aside for the instant, all thought of what may happen to disturb their completion. Then, if all goes well and he is permitted to return unscathed to a free and victorious democracy, no careers can be carried on unhampered by an army of fortunates with nothing in sight for the future.
Every semester as examination time comes round we solemnly vow that we'll never never let ourselves get so far behind again. We frantically burn the midnight oil, trying
to make up back papers and cram down all those neglected lessons. The past movies and dances which seemed such a necessity are all forgotten.
Isn't there some way of inserting in our date book for next term a few little reminders of these hours of torment when we promised ourselves to reform?

OTHER OPINIONS
PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR
The following letter has been sent out by the dean of Dartmouth College.
"Dear Sir:
"Since the declaration of war, the Administration and the Committee on Admissions have changed their attitude regarding the size of the next freshman class. President Hopkins, who has often stated that the College did not desire a larger freshman class, now feels that, to maintain the size and efficiency of the College, an entering class larger than usual is desirable. This is necessary to keep the teaching staff intact, to avoid the waste from unused equipment, and to utilize our full dormitory capacity. Other institutions have offered their plants to the Government for military purposes; Dartmouth finds it impracticable to do this on account of her isolated location. Accordingly, we feel certain that our most immediate and most significant contribution must be through educational service.
"Dartmouth's normal capacity today is 1500 students; about 100 have already enlisted and 300 or 400 more will leave for various forms of military or naval service. A normal number of freshmen next fall will give a student body of 1,000. Since freshmen are usual below the age of military service the best course for them to pursue is to begin their college work. Dartmouth will be able, next fall, to provide freshmen with more effective teaching than is the case usually since the more experienced teachers can give a greater portion of their time to them. The College is now offering, under an efficient officer, courses in military training which will be continued next year. Situated 150 miles from the coast, Dartmouth is absolutely free from all military and naval distractions and dangers.
"We therefore feel that Dartmouth can best serve the country in this crisis by making college, training available to the largest possible number of freshmen. To accomplish this, we seek the co-operation of all alumni and friends of the College.
"Yours sincerely,
"Yours sincerely, Craven Laycock, Dean."

On account of the fact that the summer camp at Plattsburg for the training of men for commissions in the Army has been discontinued for the coming summer, there is room for every University in the United States to offer training of its own men. The undergraduates who are leaving here for the Reserve Officers' Training Camps next week include only a limited number of men who have reached a certain minimum age. This age restricts them from being immediately upon completion of their short term of training take active positions in the United States Army; but while these men are receiving this instruction, it should not be the policy of the country to neglect the training of younger merl*who will probably be called on at some later date.
The Federal Government has its hands full at the present time in maintaining the officers' training camps in all parts of the country; it is unable to devote its energies to junior schools of military instruction as well. It is, therefore, in the province of the University to take

care of the men who are planning, at some later date, to try for commissions in the armed forces of the country, but who, at the present time, are not of the required age. There are a large number of such men drilling in the Cadet Corps and in other units. Of this work is discontinued during the summer, and these men return in the fall without any further practical military experience, much of the value of the time spent during this spring will be lost. It should be the policy of the University, if it is in any way established as an institution of the Plattssing plan, to which students can come, during the summer months, for practical instruction in military service.—Cornell Daily.
After fifteen years of un-military training in the Wesleyan, Dr. Harmon, the hero of the day, made a plea for said training and on the 19th day of April, 1917, was the re-organization of this great movement. Although it took world wide war to usurp up to the act, it was with old Wesley the rest of her days which we know are many and are very rich ones. No! not rich with our top-heavy, stoop-shouldered patriarchs who could not ever see beyond a text book, but rich with our straightforward business men with crest heads, chest up shoulders, back up shoulders to defend the flag and will heed the call to arms whenever it is given—Wesleyan Advance.

THOSE WHO GO
This week and next many Carolina men leave to serve their country in the military training camps or elsewhere their quest is like that of the Knights of the Round Table. They go to preserve democracy and its attendant blessings, to secure the rights of small nations, to make straight the air of peace and to treat with civilization. Theirs is the noblest and purest of causes, most free from selfish motives and narrow prejudices.
And as it is a noble cause it demands from its adherents that they think broadly and justly, that they act coolly and unselfish. For a man now to think or act angry, arrogantly, selfishly is for him to fight against the very principles which he is pretending to serve—Tar Heel.
THOSE WHO STAY
Perhaps is is harder to stay than to go. Certainly it is for many men. Yet the call to the campus is as clear and insistent as the call to the cam-
to go.
Yet the call to the campus is as clear and insistent as the call to the camp.
To the war-inflamed minds of almost all of us, it now seems useless and almost farcical to study and go on to classes. "How stale, and unprofitable" to the students' science, English or other lifeless, routine class-work.
Yet now as never before it is the duty of the college student to breathe life into the lifeless work to make his knowledge of economics, history, science, and so forth so accurate, deep, clear, and alive that he can use it to serve most efficiently his community and his country. Not the man in the trenches or in the machine for the fame in the theater or the student—the faculty member pre-eminently has both the leisure and the environment best suited to enable him in the future to sense and solve the problems of his nation and of the whole world.
Those who stay in college now and fail to do the best work they can are the mental补偿者和 slackers, the country—the deserters of their country.—The Tar Heel.
A DISLOYAL CITIZEN
The call goes out to the young men to join the ranks; the farmer is urged to raise more food; women are asked to show their loyalty in various ways; all respond by doing their bit. But there are citizens whose acts in such times as this are traitorous. They are the price "hikers."
This is no time for speculation in foodstuffs and other supplies, and any one who works for his own selfish interest in the pits is certainly one of the country's most dislike citizens. Speculation in foodstuffs is bad enough in times of peace, but when the country is at war, it is nothing else than a hostile act--Daily Misaurian.

WAR MAKES FREEDOM FOR WOMEN POSSIBLE
Shortage of Men Will Give Economic Independence to Other Sex
"War is going to give women a chance to fill executive and administrative positions in business. It is going to put them, in the matter of wages, on a level with men. It is going to advance them in the professions, and it is going to make them more and more economically independent. Individually, this will affect the home life by the nation by making women independent of economic necessity, which will raise the standard of life."
"Women will make good in these new places," said Professor Elmer, "and the conditions brought about by this will, because of this, continue after its close."
Those were the salient points emphasized by M. C. Elmer, professor of sociology in the University of Kansas, and Dennis E. Browne, the Woman's Forum of the University.
Short-Belt
Announcement has been made of the marriage of Miss Helen Short, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Short, of Leavenworth, to Mr. Edison Belt, of Schenectady, N. Y., last week at the home of the bride's parents.
Professor Elmer gave statistics showing that women's wages compare very unfavorably with the wages of men for similar work. He said the proportion of wage earning women who support others is as large as the proportion of wage earning men who have others dependent upon them.
BY THE WAY
Mrs. Bell graduated from the University of Westminster and was a member of Westminster College.
Mr. Belt graduated from the School of Engineering in 1913 and is a member of Sigma Xi.
Mr. and Mrs. Belt left for a trip to Chicago, Niagara Falls, and New York. They arrived at home on June 22, at 322 Glenwood Boulevard, Schedynet, N.Y.

Book Reviews
REGIMENT OF WOMEN. By Clemence Dane. Reviewed by Engg. Robert H. Brace.
Winton on the border of Kansas.
It takes some time to discover that this long, careful no-nonsense a tract of education. The tactile element is skillfully concealed for the first part of the story; but towards the end the dry bones appear, with resultant damage to the interest. The scene is易懂, the strange guide, so that she is hardly recognizable to some of her old acquaintances.
The larger part of the volume is occupied with an account of a girl's school. And no one could question for an instant that the writer of the book knows this life in its miniatime. One of the teachers, a vampirish person of quite uncanny charms, cries over her pupils' worthless fascination results in many cases. No reader of the book will soon forget the elfish figure of little motherless Louise, forced by the sunlight of Miss Hartibl's approval to strain every nerve for tempting school prizes, only to disgust her idol by too evident devotion, only to receive the rebuffa that—kills. The story reaches here its greatest emotional height. The interest is distinctly less—and the skill shown likewise—the taste and tactile young and beautiful charming new teacher, sight in Clare's toils and extracting herself with difficulty, to flee, literally, to a marvelously eligible, if somewhat unconvincing lover.
The workmanship is honest, the tone earnest, and the general conclusion sound. Yet one feels that there is a considerable element of special pleading. A Clare Handy essay anywhere, in circumstances, any educational system, a dangerous and disturbing force.—Macmillan, New York.

Poor cub: Who'll I see up there?
News ed: Oh, Cicero, Demosthenes,
or somebody.
So the poor cub went up to the classical museum and interviewed Cicero. The old statesman was feeling fine, perched upon a shelf overlooking his classical friends. "Oh, yes," he said, "we are happy over here, although the visits of you moderns are exceedingly rare; at least, the classical atmosphere is not contaminated."
And Cicero is in good company. There is Virgil at his side, with the handsome young Augustus across the hall, and Nero on the next shelf. A procession of Satyrs along him illustrated feet heel to heel and winged victories and such ethereal bodies flutter encased in the corners.
In the next room, Venus of Melos,
the Armless Wonder, looks down into
a case of Roman and Greek relics:
money, quite as artistic as the new
dimes, seal rings, carved knives, and
even buttons, belt buckles, and hair
pins that once held in place the tresses
of some ancient Helen.
The classical museum is an interesting place to spend a spare hour or two and get away from life's pleasures around and find new things you didn't know before.

JAYHAWKER THIS YEAR IS A PICTURE BOOK

Annuals to Come Out Tuesday Will Be Full of Snapshots and Tri-colored Plates.
The long looked for Jayhawks will make their appearance at eight-thirty o'clock Tuesday morning at the check stand in Frasier Hall. They did not decrease their size or alter their contents, except to add a new section.
HOTEL KUPPER
A good place to make your headquarters. Particularly desirable for ladies—being on Petticat Lane—the center of the shopping district.
"I received a long distance call from Kansas City this morning," said Arnold Nordstrom, editor of the Jayhawker, "saying the crowded conditions of the bindery will delay the books a day, but they will be here Monday afternoon and ready for sale Tuesday morning. People who have purchased or part purchased their annuals must bring their receipts and balance due, and others can buy books as long as they last."
Let us figure on that next banquet.
Convenient to all theatres. Excellent cafe in connection.
WALTER S. MARS Proprietor and Manager.
The plan of the editors has been to make this year's Jayhawker interesting to every one in the University. The camera squad has been busy and the 35 pages of snap shots contain 1500 faces. Pictures were taken when less than half of them and no one when these secret photographers might have snapped him. "Wait and see," is what the editors say of this section.

TIGERS ARE HUMBLED IN CLOSE 4-3 GAME
Kansas Takes Season's Last Game by Ninth Inning
Victory
At last the mighty Tigers are humbled. And the Jayhawkers join in a jabble. For didn't they predict? And didn't it come true? And isn't K. U. the only team that beat old Mizzou?
The Tigers were confident after their easy 9-2 win over Kansas at Columbia Friday. Fortune had smiled upon them with an unbroken string of sixteen victories. They were invinible! And so it's no wonder Missouri's men-o-the-diamond suffered a jolt when their last game Saturday was taken ruthlessly away from them in the last imminent, 4-3.
It was one of those ninth-inning-climax games you sometimes see at the movies—except it was vivid with reality. Kansas scored first, but Missouri hit it up. Each team added a tally in the sixth, and clinched for victory.
Then along came the fateful ninth. The customary two outs had been made and the melo-dramatic hull was in evidence when Smith came up. He stepped off the plane. Carter then stepped to the plate. He didn't ask any questions, but delivered the goods—a single over second. Whereupon Poirier got a bright idea. "Why not win my own game?" he asked. I thought he. Plausible, isn't it? Well he hit a two-bagger to left, scoring Smith, and the game was won.
"Poirier simply had 'em on the hip," said Nick Carter, after the game. "The Tiger stands and bleachers stood up in the seventh and again in the ninth and gave their Tiger yell, excitement." The tension. The stands went wild every time Poirier delivered a ball, but the K. U. pitcher never wavered."
Pratt's one-handed stab of a hot one at short was a feature. He quickly tagged a runner between second and third and came near catching the man at first. Gilmer's three-base hit for Missouri, but Poirier held the heavy Tiger hitters safe in all the other pinches.

Spring basketball practice has been discontinued, according to Coach Dutch Uhrlaub. Dutch said he did not believe he was accomplishing enough because the interest in the war has been growing from practice. Sixteen or more candidates reported before this country entered the war.
The most prevalent question among the K. U. track followers at present is: "How did Nebraska beat us?" A few have hardly recovered their normal breathing since learning that Captain Rodkey was beaten in the half mile and Stateler was beaten in the two-mile, Captain Rodkey said if he had not entered the quarter mile he could probably have won in his speeches. Stateler also ran and was short of stamina for the two-mile. The track followers here still believe that both men will make good their records at the All-Missouri Valley Conference meet at Ames, Iowa next Saturday.
The Jayhawk baseball players finished up their schedule Saturday by defeating the Tigers at Columbia. This game was also the last of Missouri's schedule and was the only defeat of the season. Kansas really

CORNHUSKERS DEFEAT
JAYHAWK TRACKSTERS
Nebraska Upset Dope and Carry Away Victory to Tune of 72 to 37
of 72 to 37
The Cornhuskers used the Valley track dope Friday afternoon by winning the Kansas-Nebraska dual track meet at Lincoln, Nebraska, 72 to 37. Kansas succeeded in taking but three firsts while Nebraska scooped twelve.
Capt. Fred Rodkey said the reason Kansas lost the meet was that all the Kansas trackers "blew up" with the exception of Sproull and Gretzmann, said up to their usual form by taking three places in their respective events.
Sproull broke his record by winning the mile in 4 minutes 31 4-5 seconds. The K. U. record is 4 minutes 31 1-5 seconds. Grutzmacher, the little K. U. broad-jump flier, bled his own record and came within three-fourths of an inch of breaking the Missouri Valley Conference record by winning first place on a flight of 23 feet to 3-4 inch. The Missouri Valley Conference record is 23 feet 1-1 2 inches. Kansas had no competition ni the pole vault.
Werner was the big point maker for the Cornhusker team and also of the meet. Besides winning the 100 and 200-day dashes he threw, he pitched to his team for five place in the high jump, and was a member of the Nebraska relay team.
Nebraska wanted to run the half mile relay but the Kansas coach did not have his relay team and as this team had no success, the score of 77 to 37 was not correct.
Owen, Nebraska sprinter, was the "thriller" of the meet. In the 440-yard run, with a sudden spurt of speed, he nosed out Captain Rodkey at the tape by about six inches. He also ran the final quarter of the mile relay. In making the last turn he threw a shoe but finished the race and overcame Sproull's lead. The summaries:

Efforts Are to be Made to Have Large Freshman
Education should be kept going at all odds, is the opinion of educators over the country. Education is just as great a necessity in the present crisis as ever before and all those who are able to go on with their work should do so, is the belief of leaders in University of Kansas life.
FRESH MEN WANTED
"It will be recommended at the meeting of associated colleges of this state in Topeka May 28, that all the colleges in Kansas include military training as a required course," said Chancellor Strong. "It is our plan, also, to show to the young men the opportunities which the colleges offer them in the way of fitting them for military training."
It will be the policy of the University this summer to lay more stress than usual in an attempt to get a larger freshman class for September. The average age of the freshmen is two years lower than the age required for college, and this fact next year's freshman class is not likely to diminish in number.
TEACHING STAFF INTACT?
"I have no doubt," said George O. Foster this morning, "but what K. U. will have an enrollment of 3,000 next year. We are expecting that number."
TEACHING STAFF INTACT:
From an economical standpoint, it will be easier to keep a large enrollment next semester in order to keep the teaching staff intact and to avoid the waste and loss which would come from unused equipment.
A few educational institutions have offered their services and equipment to the government for military purposes. The next important contribution which the University can make must come through its educational services.

Battery B will be inspected by Adjantant General Martin or some one from his office tonight in Robinson Gymnastics. About fifteen University men have enlisted in this organization.
The battery failed to pass an inspection some time ago because of the large number of married men on its roll. The enlisted strength of the battery now is 140 mm. Although the battery has more than enough men to pass the inspection, there still is room for fifteen more men.

The Alemania Club has decided to take up the study of Spanish. The contradiction in terms is more apparent than it was in English, and will not give up the study of German.
The decision to study Spanish has nothing to do with the war, members of Alemania say. It is because of the fact that Spanish is coming to be considered a necessity rather than an accomplishment, since the country has developed relations with Mexico and the South American republics.
EAST ISN'T SHOWING ENOUGH PEP---FLINT
English Instructor Gives West's Opinion in New York Tribune Article
Young Mr. West in the person of Herbert Flint, instructor in the department of English, has written to Old Mr. East, personified by the New York Tribune, asking what the East is doing in the matter of preparedness along with the patriotism displayed and comparing 'the East and the West and the respective enthusiasm shown.
In his communication to the Tribune he asks many whys. Why did the East send Joffre this way? Why did Teddy come to Chicago with his plea? Why does the Senate pass the draft law and exempt its own members? Why doesn't the Senate pass a rigid control of food prices? Why doesn't it pass a national prohibition law?
And then Mr. Flint asks what the East is doing in regard to furnishing war strength in its guards. And what it is doing in the way of recruiting for the navy. And with all the parades, what is the East doing in organizing its counties and industrial workers to full strength?
He just wants to know, and end his article:
"And the next time you're down to Washington you might drop a hint to Congress that the bacillus of legislative revolution can come over from Russia and England and France just as well as the Hessian fly—and it will make the grasshopper flight of an insect. (excuse the figure) if you don't get down to brass talks there and quit feeding us folks out west of the Mississippi a lot of bunk about waking to the war situation. Remember California! ! And Kansas! ! More sound patriotism! Less piffle."
RED CROSS MEETS TUESDAY
Course of Ten Lessons Will be Completed and Students Will
In order to complete the ten lessons that are required for the regulation first aid course, the remaining work for the Red Cross training classes will be combined and finished in two lessons. The date for the final examinations is December 14th at the Red Cross Bureau at Washington has been overworked. Students who have been absent more than once are ineligible for the examination.
"The interest which has been shown by the students has been gratifying." Doctor Dorothy Child, who conducts the course, said this morning. "The attendance has been very good until the last two meetings."
Saturday afternoon was an interesting time at the Union Pacific Station for some fifty K. U. and Lawrence youths came back for weekend visits from the Fort Riley Officers' Reserve camp. Almost fifty girls met the fifty "slightly bronzed" young men. Sun burn is not the only issue that the incoming officers have received. Without exception the visitors walked straighter than formerly, and all looked well.
One third of the 2,200 men at the Fort Riley camp left Saturday and returned last night or early this morning before witnessing of the killers who believe that the little respite from camp routine results in added efficiency.
The class will meet in Snow Hall at seven o'clock tonight and then go to the gymnasium. Methods of causing respiration in cases of drowning will be the subject of the meeting.

The club will continue to meet next fall provided there are enough students in the department of German.
BOOK EXCHANGE WILL BE OPEN QUIZ WEEK
Students May Leave Books With Store to be Sold Next
Fall
The book exchange will be open Monday and Tuesday afternoons from two to five o'clock of quiz week to receive books before students go home for vacation. Home and they will be stored safely until next fall.
"Students who have books to sell and will not be back next year may leave their books and addresses and the money will be sent to them," said W. A. Raymond, manager of the exchange for next year. "The owner's name and the price should be marked in each book left at the exchange. The books will be put on sale at the beginning of school next fall."
This year the work of the exchange was hindered somewhat by the changing of many texts. In spite of this, 800 books were sold and the total sales amounted to over $1,000. The business of the exchange will be larger next year because of the increased cost of books.
The book exchange was established under the management of the Men's Student Council two years ago. Second-hand text-books are exchanged for a fee of ten per cent to cover the expenses of selling them.

Plans Likely to be Changed to Allow Registration at Home
Men of the senior class may be able to get home in time to register on June 5. There has been some talk, since President Wilson designated June 5 as the day for all men between the ages of 21 and 30 to register, about changing the annual commencement date, the registrar, said this morning the plan had been suggested, and mentioned among members of the faculty, but as yet no definite action had been taken. The Chancellor's cabinet will meet tonight to act upon the advisability of holding the Commencement on Monday, June 4, instead of Wednesday; the department will be changed if Mr. Bryan can be here on the earlier date to deliver the commencement address.
Such a change would be a great accommodation to all seniors, but especially to all the men falling under the age of 70. They can be enabled to get to their homes in time to register there and not have to run the risk of being wrongly registered.
TO DANCE FOR RED CROSS
The 1917 Jayhawker.
Pupils of Miss Helen Topping In
terpret Greek Dances at
Bowersock Tonight
With the exception of Miss Helen Topping, who has been quite ill for the last three days, and who may not be able to appear tonight, every performer on the program to be given at the Bowersock for the benefit of the Orchestra will be the callist. The orchestra will begin its overture at eight-fifteen o'clock, and the performance will start at eight-thirty.
The ticket sale has been large; and a full house will greet the performers. Rehearsals have been held daily the last week, and the performance is expected to go off without a hitch. Costumes, lights, scenery music—all are there, and U.K. will be on hand for the show. The date rule has been declared off.
Greek, interpretative, and ballet dances are included on the program. James B. M.Naught, Helen Clark. Dorothy Miller, Dorothy Cole, Earl Boyd Metalfa, Annette Yoomans, Hazel and Ruth Wooley, Helen Clark, and other University students will dance. There will be several numbers. Miss Topping's town pupils will also dance several numbers. Little Betty Stimpson—"dainty Betty"—will do two solos.
One-half of the proceeds of the entertainment will go to the Red Cross, the local chapter of which is in charge of the production.
The following will be patronesses:
Mrs. Anna Shanklin, Mrs. C. H. Ashton-
Mrs. A. T. Walker, Mrs. P. E.
Mrs. E. Brown, Mrs. C. S. Skilton, Mrs.
A. D. Weaver, Mrs. A. Henley, and
Mrs. C. Metcalf.
Professor Moore Returns
Prof. Raymond C. Moore, of the department of geology, has returned after two weeks of research work in Western Kansas and Montana. Professor Moore will teach in the University of Chicago this summer.
Editor Nordstrom and Manager Gelvin are to be congratulated. It is no small task to get out a book of some 500 pages—to collect the material for it, to organize that material, and to blend it into a harmonized whole. That those in charge of this year's book have succeeded so admirably is to their credit.
IT'S out! The Jayhawker is out! Most probably you've lugged your copy around all day, glancing through it hastily when the prof's watchful eye was not on you in the class-room, and then devouring it eagerly between recitations and during the noon hour.
publishing at Kansas. It is nothing short of marvelous that such a book was published when the spirit of the times seems so alien to such a peaceful enterprise as publishing an annual.
It's worth reading, all right. Not only is the book a credit to the senior class, but to the high traditions of the whole history of annual
Editorially, the book is a delight. Never was a humor section so clever; snap shots of spicier subjects have seismod appeared in the long list of annuals published at Kansas—of which list the 1917 book is the twenty-ninth. The material in the University, campus, classes, and activities sections is unusually attractive and decidedly well arranged.
It's a great book, all right! We congratulate you, seniors!
The art work, as in all large annuals, is something of a conglomeration of styles and effects—but this perhaps is a defect that ought not to be remedied. The bindings are beautiful, and the printing, though hurried, is fully equal to that in any previous Jayhawker.
WATER MOCCASIN IS NOT
A NATIVE OF KANSAS
Whenever a snake is seen swimming in the water or sunning itself on the banks of a river or lake, the epithet "water-moccasin" is buried at its base. It is not that the snake is to stone it to death. Snakes which inhabit Kansas rivers or lakes are perfectly innocent of such a charge. They are only a species of a common water snake which is perfectly harmed by poisonous snakes that has never been found in the state.
C. D. Bunker has ordered a couple of them from Louisiana for the Museum. They will be here in a few days and any one who desires to know about "water-moccain" looks like may see them in the basement of the Museum.
Plain Tales from the Hill
Don't you remember when you were a freshman and had to write themes? And then came the last of the semester and short stories were in order. You made up a plot that had a rising and a falling action and a couple of characters. Maybe they were in love with the girl you were going to meet. Then you had them go motoring in dad's new car and he was shy and she was waiting. She said she was cold and he took off his own coat to warm her. And then his right hand touched her shoulder and lingered there. The shadow was dense. But you had your hero too sky and he withdrew his arm. And then he boys withdrew from school. And she called him a blooming filver when he was gone. Cause he was scared.
Ah—them's the kind of themes the instructors are getting now. This one we have quoted above is called "Romance."
It was Sunday afternoon and Clora Riggs was sitting on the Theta steps with a sad and forlorn look on her face. A passing couple stopped passing and asked her what he was the mother of. The girl answered, "What thing was all right, but the couple still insist that Clora was waiting and looking for a "Friend."
“Has any one here seen—no, not Kelly, but Dean P. F. Walker.” This is the song they are singing this week in the Dean’s deserted office. The songsters are the Dean's two faithful secretaries and the vice-dean, G. C Shadh. The three make a wonderful but very pathetic trio, as no official word has been received from the Dean since he left several days ago.

One of the Kansan newsies had a white rat in his hand yesterday. Not that he carries a rat of such color with him all the time. But this was white. And squirmimg. Helen Patterson and Dorothy Cole, both good journalists and used to dangers of interviews, were talking about clothes and—oh, what do girls talk about, anyway? The rat was displayed before her, the girl's friend didn't want it. Except take another breath so that they might keep on living. Then the newsie showed mousie to Gene Dyer. Genie jumped and started to climb the table. Showing the tables become turned occasionally.
Now comes the time of the year when University students begin cramming on their little speeches which they expect to doole forth to the people of the countryside this summer in the process of selling "Mother Sapling" for Our Valued Recipes or "Practical Problems of the Farm". Most of them run like this; "My, my name is Smith. I am working my way through college. I could have gone to war but I believe that I can do a greater deed to my country by selling this cheap little book which I would like to show you. I can be of a far greater deed by so doing than I could by sacrificing my life to the Germans. Now this little book has—"

COPIES OF JAYHAWKER
SOLD LIKE HOT CAKES
More Than 300 Volumes Received This Morning—New Supply Here Tomorrow
PICTURES PREDOMINATE
No Person, Building, Nor Scene on Hill is Slighted in Belated 1917 Annual
PICTURES ARE BIG FEATURE
The Jayhawkers came, but they were gone as soon as they had arrived. An hour and a half after they were put on sale, the three hundred books had been claimed. But more annuals will come and if you were disappointed this morning, tomorrow you can get your book.
"We were unable to get more than 300 annuals this morning, but more will be put on sale tomorrow morning," said Arnold Nordstrom, editor of the annual. "The books will be available from a few free bindery. Every one will have a chance to get an annual in the next few days."
**Pictures ARE BRIEF FEATURES**
The big attraction of the 1917 Jayhawken, the tricolored plates, snap shots, photographs, and all kinds of Jayhawkes. The book is dedicated to the yell, "Rock Chalk Jayhawk K. U.," and the whole volume carries out the idea of dedication. How the yell came into being is told by Prof. E. H. S. Bailey. The whole University is practically represented. A drive over the campus is taken, showing the buildings at their best and campus scenery is seen. When he is introduced to Seniors and Juniors with company smiles. Athletic contests of all players, both men and women in action have been "shot" for the annual.
WAR SECTION A NEW FEATURE
The prettiest girls are seen in all their vanity, Fraternities, sororites, and clubs are visited. The camp life at the Mexican border last summer is discussed by Captain James Naismith, of the First Kansas Infantry and the life is made real by to true life pictures.
Smiles just will come when we see University people caught unawares. There are popular men gowned a la Lady Buff Gordon. Notables are seated on chairs when fond papas and mammals took them to baby show. People are seen jay-hawkering, wherever the censor permits.
SAVE CANS AND BOTTLES
Prof. Bailey Says War Has Raised Price of Tin and Glass is Taking Its Place
"Save all bottles, canes, and glass containers—they will be scarce soon," is the notice which Dr. E. H. S. Bailley the department of chemistry has posted.
The reason for the shortage of glass containers is the increased amount which are being used in canning food, since the war has brought up an undoubtedly lessened the popularity of the tin can for this use.
"Since the submarine warfare began in April very little tin has been imported," said Doctor Bailey. "Glass must be used for tin in canning food. The glass works of the country have been fully occupied ever since the beginning of the war in Europe, but they will be overtaxed now. It will be very difficult to secure glass bottles for our work next year."
FOREIGN WAR CARTOONS ON
DISPLAY IN AD BUILDING
The exhibit of war cartoons in Room 302, Administration Building, will be continued throughout this week. The cartoons are by a French soldier who at the outbreak of the war attracted the attention of French art historians and national and international cartoons on the Germanic attitude toward the Allies.
Each cartoon is a history in itself; each has a story that grips a person as he stops to study it. The proceeds of the exhibit go to the Red Cross work.
Chem Students Will Conserve
Prof. E. H. S. Bailey has posted a notice on the bulletin board in the Chemistry Building requesting that instructors, employees, and helpers save all bottles, cans and glass containers, since such material will probably be scarce in the near future. All glass supplies, which were formerly imported from abroad, are now American made, and the supply will be greatly lessened on account of the war.
Jennie Alexander of Garnett has been called to her home because of the illness of her father.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the university than merely printing the news on their website, but provides a variety of library tools; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heeds; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

A SOBERED LIFE
The gay, brilliant, thoughtless, carefree life of the University is passing and passing quickly. It is already more sober, more sincere and more in earnest. The girl whose only thoughts were centered on how her new dancing frock will be made or whom she will ask to her formal party must perforce turn to other things when she learns the ultimatum that she "will have to let the old dresses do until conditions are more certain," and that it has been decided to postpone the formal.
Suddenly she will find that it is the things worth while that stick and that the little, superficial things that make the University so gay will fall away. To many, the superficial things have seemed all there is of that complex life, but the real things lie underneath.
When a fellow asks her to share his lot, the prudent grl finds out how heavily mortgaged it is.
And the real things—the ideals, the dreams, the lessons of knowledge and of life—remain.
Next Wednesday—Memorial Day.
MEMORIAL DAY
Next Wednesday—Memorial Day.
"In't that the luckiest thing in the world?" coos the co-ed. "Right in the middle of quiz week—and I can rest, and study, and loaf all day."
Because Memorial Day in the past has too often been but little more than a day of recreation, she has forgotten its patriotic significance. Because it has been chiefly a holiday in which patriotic services have played a minor part, and athletic sports and hiking a major one, she has forgotted what it ought to mean to us this year
This year we are at war. It is possible that we can have a keener sense of the meaning of Memorial Day—a day dedicated to the memory of those who died in the service of their country. It would be a fitting time now, if there ever was one, to establish a precedent for future years by keeping the day as it should be kept—with the quiet, unpretentious sort of loyalty that does not permit of a day's desecration by more pleasure seeking.
On this Memorial Day, through a proper observance, should come a deeper sense of one's obligation to every man.
Considering how many collegiate debates and oratorical contests have been held in the United States, the number of problems that it still faces is unaccountable large.
OUR FRIENDS AT RILEY
Life in a military camp, after the novelty of it has worn off, is apt to become a most humdum succession of days for the new recruit from civilian
ife. Former K. U. students now at Fort Riley who were in Lawrence over the week-and testify as to this.
In a couple of weeks, there will be a home sick crowd of K. U. men out at Riley. By that time they will have grown accustomed to the military atmosphere and will have settled down to the routine and hard work of the training course.
You can do your part to help relieve the loneliness and homesickness of some friend by writing to him now and then. He will grasp eagerly at every crumb of campus news that comes his way, and your letters will be more than welcome.
Thus again does it appear that every man or woman, whatever he is or her work in life, can by care and faithfulness fill some role in the great war drama.
You have decided to stay at home for the present. But while doing so you have an opportunity to help in the work of making officers for Uncle Sam's army. It is a part of your duty to seize the opportunity.
You will be busy with finals—that's true—and won't have much time for letter-writing. The answer to that is that in this case letter-writing is as much of a duty as preparing for finals.
Life has its ups and downs, wherein it differs from the cost of living.

HILLTOP PHILOSOPHY
It takes no great amount of discernment to discover that the spring fever epidemic falls lightly upon those who have plenty to do.
Professor George Putnam classes farmers as tired, retired, and rubber-tired. Evidently the recent volunteers did not come in not come within the last two classes.
A great many people are inclined to believe that the most comfortable suit for this spring weather would be a coat of thin paint.
Some of the young officers out at Riley are wondering if Sherman ever had to make beds. See Webster for the abridged definition.
The man who orders a small steak these days is sure to get what he orders.
Students who are still enrolled in the University are discovering that the withdrawal of five hundred men hasn't made their lot any the easier. With fewer in the classes, recitations roll around with monotonous regularity and there seems to be no tendency on the part of professors to become demoralized by the wartime conditions.
This patriotism is a great thing. It is now being advocated that we pawn our little lapel flags and give the money to the Red Cross fund. Surely we be a dirty man to do辜 some people of all the patriotism they possess.
Once more doth the war biff our co-eds. I Rice, says the food dictator, shall hereafter be used for food, and not for face-powder.
Even the most confirmed slacker is a hero in some woman's eyes. We bow to her discerning mind.
People who used to point with pride to those meaningless little labels, "Made in Germany," are now perfectly willing to admit that they may have been mistaken. Chicago is just as good as Hamburg these days.
Another spring drive is on. This time the objective is the student trunk, and the campaign is meeting with amazing success. Cotton-flanell has been deposed; the Chips have been pushed aside; the pushes assisted; that old favorite of the winter siege, Cap Crinkle-Board, has been forced into a corner and is being flanked by Racket and Mitt; Overcant is useless; Swater is expected to give up and will be superseded by Sport Training. The attack cannot be expected to last long; and fresh attacks have been made against Books.
INTO UNIQUE SERVICE
Three University students have passed the examination at Washington, D. C., for assistant paymaster in the navy. They are: William C. Preston, South Greenfield; R. L. Richards, Kansas City; and Walter Mandy, formerly of Mobely, now of Oklahoma City. They will be graduated from the University this year, and they will be appointed to the paymaster service, beginning work July 1. Two such appointments will be made from each state university. The salary is $1,700 a year, with a 10 per cent increase for sea duty, making $1,870.

INITIATIVE
One of the most important things which a college course should develop in a student is the quality of initiative. You will not find it in the curriculum nor to a large extent in any classroom; yet if you have spent four valuable years of your life at college and have failed to add at least a parity of knowledge, you have contributed of your character, you have missed something.
The quality of initiative is developed to the greatest extent through participation in the extra-curriculum activities of the college, literary society work, Y. M. or Y. W. work, or assisting in the business of any organization of the college. In all the organizations of college life, there are a few who lead out while others follow. This is the natural order of things, but don't be discouraged if you are one of the followers, especially if you're a freshman; keep up your notebooks and don't sit back when you see yourself unruly, and you will not forever remain with the followers. It takes energy to take the initiative and it takes a measure of self-confidence. Cultivate these and you will be prepared to advance when the time comes.
We are often told from the chapel platform that those who are holding places of responsibility and leadership out in the big business world are those in their school days learned to take the lead. Proof of this statement, though on a smaller scale, is man who took the lead and who took the lead in high school activities去 to college and there, nine cases out of ten, take the lead in college activities some time during their course—Coe Cosmos.

PRESS CLUB WILL EAT,
DRINK, SAY FAREWELL
Newspaper Men Celebrate To night at Lee's, Sans Women, Sans Conventions
The Press Club of the University will give its farewell Gridiron Banquet tonight when the members will be roasted in true journalistic fashion. The party will gather at Lee's College Inn at 6 o'clock, and will enter the banqueting hall when Fred Rigby's watch strikes the hour of 6:10. Here a table will be set for thirty newspaper pages; paper tableled papers; paper napkin dishes, dishes, and column-rule knives. Various other surprises are promised that will serve to make the Kansan staff feel at home.
Either U. L. McCall, manager of the Kansas City Associated Press, or his assistant, Charles Allen will make the feature talk of the evening. Any of the journalists who feel they have something to say and who have had their names mentioned this year may be permitted to talk by the other members if they promise to limit themselves to one minute.
The menu of eats will contain all the usual items with many unusual delicacies, such as coffee with cream, pickles, and bread with butter. All the standard varieties of smokes will be lavishly displayed in tin cups around the table, and you can number up to two, but only one Hand Made is allowed to each guest that pays fifty cents.
For the last week a bizarre and striking poster, the work of the staff artist, has been hanging on the Kansan bulletin board gradually acquiring signatures of reporters and editors who will attend the farewell love-feast. Among those so republished are Mr. Zucker, his linetype operator, who may be persuaded to speak on "Black Face Copy" and Dad Westfall, our handsome pressman, who will tell some of the secrets of "Feeding the Press."

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
FIVE TRACK MEN WILLWOULD-BE OFFICERS GO TO VALLEY MEETARE ALL SATISFIED
The Last Contest of the Season Will be at Ames
May 26
The Missouri Valley Conference track meet at Ames, Iowa, next Saturday will mark the close of the Jayhawk track season. Kansas has a small chance to win the meeting, according to Capt. Fred Rodley, because the probability is that but five Jayhawkers will make the trip to Ames.
The Kansas track men who are most likely to be entered in the meet are Sproul, Gratzmacher, Rice, Rodkey, and O'Leary. Gratzmacher and Rice are almost sure first place winners in the broad jump and long jump, while O'Leary will make strong bids for first places in the mile, half mile, and quarter.
Sprowl has been going good in the mile lately and will likely make Duncan of Missouri, who nosed out ahead of him here May 12, run a much faster mile to win again. He ran the mile in the Nebraska meet three seconds faster than Duncan ran the mile here.
Grustzmacher, the diminutive filer,
said he was going to try for the Valley
record in the bread jump which is
23 feet 5 inches. He made 23 feet $ \frac{4} {8} $ inch in the Nebraska meet last Friday.
Captain Rodkey said he was going to "put up a terrible scrap" for the half mile in the Ames meet and that is only another way of saying that Kansas is getting worse. Scores in place of 'OLEary is almost sure to place in the quarter mile.
Captain Rodley predicts that Kansas will take about twenty points with Missouri the strongest bidder for the championship with about thirty-for or forty points. Nebraska the weakest bidder, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Ames, and Drake are the Valley schools that will enter the meet.
SPORT BEAMS
Rainy weather prevented the women tennis players from continuing the class tournament yesterday, but play will be resumed just as soon as the courts are dry enough. Coach Hazel Pratt says the interclass tournament as served as the club tournament is finished, and that play would be continued through examination week if necessary to finish the tournament.
Again Missouri's hopes have been blasted by Kansas. The Jayhawker players report that the Tigers had a big banner out enumerating their victories this year, with one space left for another victory, and that the photographer was out and had everything all ready to take the picture of an all-victorious Tiger in full nine yards. The Tiger players did not even congratulate the Kansas players after the game. Hard luck, Missouri?
Although Missouri had a little bad luck in the last game of the season, they had considerable good luck in that they were credited with three out of the four games with the Jayhawkers this year.
The Missouri Valley Conference tennis tournament will be held at Manhattan Friday and Saturday and the Jayhawker team will be entered providing Manager Hamilton does not arrange for a place for the Jayhawkers in the Western Intercollegiate Tennis Tournament at Chicago Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. The manager Kansas team in the tournament at Chicago. It is possible the Missouri Valley Conference tournament may be postponed if Kansas and another of the Valley teams enter the Big Nine meet.

Wint Smith Writes That Men Are Getting Used to Commun Life
Camp Life
The following is a letter from Wint Smith to a friend in Lawrence. It shows what the Fort Riley School work and use, along with notes of key U. K., notables.
Fort Riley, Kans.
I just came in from “police” duty around camp. Policing around the barracks is no small job when practically all the men smoke cigarettes. Watching the men on police duty, I have found, is one of the best ways of telling whether or not they have been in the army. If a fellow rushes into the first line and gets his hands full of cigarette snipes, orange peels and paper, it is pretty safe guess that he is uninitiated in policing. If he brings wristbands to rolls a cigar, he watches the others work it is safe to conclude that he has been there before. It is no uncommon sight to see men always have a slight feeling of pity for the man who has to wear kid gloves to do police duty.
We have been issued hat cords and collar ornaments. The cords are red, white and blue, and the ornaments bear*the letters, U. S. T. C. (U. S. Training Camp.) The fellows were as anxious to wear them as a small boy to wear his first pair of long trousers. You see all kinds of combinations of dress. One fellow in my company affords a typical example. He wears a khaki shirt, a 16 shirt on a 14 model, collar oat button, very tips of his collar a derby hat, leggins that are large that they revolve around his legs, and shoes so big that they are already turning up at the toes. Some even try to wear hat cords on their civilian caps.
We had inspection of quarters yesterday. Some spent about an hour getting ready. When all was ready the major came in and merely looked down the aisle and went out again. Then we entered the kitchen, exclamation of most of the men. They had expected that each would be favored with an individual inspection.
In one respect this bunch differs greatly from guardsmen on the border last summer—all of them have money. It is a real sight to go over to the canteen at night after study hour and see the mobs arriving. You have to wait your turn and beat some fellow out of his turn to get anything. Each company has a bootlack who it making money by the fistful. It costs a dime for a once-over. Where there is a bunch of soldiers there is always a gang of agents relieving them of their money. In many cases, the leather puttee agent each takes his turn at gathering in the shekels.
You asked what the K. U. men thought of the camp, and how they spend their spare time. The Follow-ons that I have been able to gather;
Don Woodward; "Say boy, we've got the best captain in the bunch, but he sure hikes us up hill and down, over ditches and rocks. He just came back from the border, and he seems to think we'll thrive on those rocky
hikes. We have a fine bunch of fellows in our company. Why, Yale's third sacker is on a cot right beside mine."
Swede Vernon: "This is sure doing me a lot of good. That captain we have is great, but we have a pill in one of our non-coms. If they have a fowl show, I'm going to enter him this fall."
Bonnie Reber was sitting on a pop case with a signal book in his hand and a cob pipe in his mouth, talking to the hammer thromer from Harvard.
Floyd Welch: "I haven't been off of my cut but once today. My vacation is over."
Steve Fahringer: "I can stand if he comes here, if the post service keeps up."
J. P. Harris: "Most of the fellows are all right but some of them swagger around too much to suit me. Our captain is great. He played three years on the West Point team. All the fellows are wild about him."
Ennis Whitehead: "It is great to be here. Missouri is sure here in force. I not from Kansas any more, because every day some Missouri guy comes on and roads to come something. My only comeback is 'Oh, that's all right, but don't forget we beat you at tennis."
Buck Seward: "It's fine, but competition for a commission is going to be mighty keen at the end of this camp."
Hubert Paul: "I like it fine. There is a fine bunch in this company. The non-coms are all right except one, who is a cop from St. Louis. He acts as if he isn't there. They are very few Kansas men in this company. I went down the street and asked, 'Anybody here want a Lawrence paper?' Yes, spoke up one. I took a picture of him, 'Aw, I want that. I thought it was a Lawrence, Mass, paper.'"
Roy Gress: "According to the menu for next week, we will be mighty busy. There isn't another man in my half of the company from K. U."
Claude Voorbees: "Most of our men are all right, but some of them use awfully detestable language. But I am having the time of my life."

GAYETY MARKS CLOSE OF JOURNALIST'S YEAR
Young Newspaper Men Forget Their Worries and Smoke in Good Fellowship
A. P. SECRETS EXPLAINED
Charles Allen Tells Inside Great News Distributing Organization
The smoke of the banquet cleared away. Thirty K. U. journalists arose and sang the "Crimson and the Blue." They gave "nine rahs" for Speaker Allen of the A. P., for W. B. Brown whom illness kept away, and for the series who have answered the theme of "When shall we thirst meet again?"
For it was the farewell dinner of the Jayhawk Press Club, and all fared well except Hungry Howland. A long table had been inserted in Lee's College Inn, around which the journalists and students roasted young pig and peas in patties to the rhythm of Gordon Saunders' minialogues.
Charles Allen, a native of Kansas and former night manager for the Associated Press Bureau at Kansas City, was the speaker. Admitting that A. P. dowe is seldom run on the comic pages, Mr. Allen spiced up his "dry subject" with a selective contribution to the associated Press spends $3,500,000 a year and uses 50,000 miles of leased wire to tell the world what's going on.
LIGHTNING SERVICE
"How we get our news? We must dig it up, explained Mr. Allen, whereupon all felt much enlightened. And then the speaker launched into his subject. How the 50-word bulletins are "hustled right along," how the E. O. S. flashes big news over a continent in a few minutes, how the distributing editor looks over the shoulder of the receiving operator to speed up the system, and how the press all wrote papers—all these were told to eager ears. The A. P. pays liberally for tips when big news breaks, and the loyalty of the press to the country is such that no censorship is needed.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 23, 1917.
"Although there's a gloom because Henry Pegues has gone to Riley, Don Davis is the man who got Schott." So said Prof. L. N. Flint, as he performed his toastmasterly duties and sent them off to the station to bring Mr. Schott up the Hill in Don's girl's chum's brother's car. Dan said he couldn't talk, so Scoop Hill told him to read his editorial on "Are You a Bore?" Whereupon Don read to Scoop the first article about monopolizing conversation.
Oh yes, we *r*got to tell that Fred Rigby told everybody why they were where-they-were. (Most of 'em knew already; They'd paid him their fifty cents. And now they await the finance report to Foster.) But Rigby's all right and a booster. He advocated more such meetings of the Press Club.
DAD TAKES TWO OLIVES
Even during the courses the scribes already began to cut up. John Montgomery wanted to be original and started eating his salad with a teaspoon. Dad Westfall took two olives the first time around. Sammy Rice wanted to place wagers on whether cherries or strawberries would adorn the ice cream, but Clayton the Bookkeep wouldn't bet. Frank Thayer wore the red tie he promised to, but hid most of it under his vest. George Montgomery in khaki represented the comrades in arms. Scoop Hill asked embarrassing questions about Prince Philip. Peter Plesson announced that all having dates could leave; John Montgomery (we hate to mention him so often) was the only one to go, and he forgot his souvenir place-card at that.
Don Davis, Cargill Sproull and Scoop Hill led the yells and songs. Six verses were sung of the pop, old melody, "It's Great to Be a Kansan Cub," and the following yell rent the air: "Linotype, Monotype, Hell-Box, Press; We're the Journalist"—(dash) —Oh, yes." The boys also sang a sweet ballad about Frank Thayer and signs of spring.
A small wooden printing press, draped with Old Glory, formed the centerpiece. The place-cards were 12-inch cards and formed the name both in type and print.
Those present were: Alfred G. Hill, Fred Ribby, Samuel O. Rice, Everett Palmer, Frank Thayer, H. C Hangen, Raymond Hemphill, Vernon A. Moore, Raymond Hemphill, James E. Moore, Don Davis, John Montgomery, L. N Flint, Eugene T. Dyer, Dean Reitzel, J. W Evans, Paul Flagg, V. E. Timmes, Albert W. Koeppf, Wayne Wilson, H. E. Holden, Armold Nordstrom, Robert E. Schmidt, Sproull, Charlie Baker, George Montgomery, and Charles Allen, of the Associated Press.
PUBLIC SPEAKERS GIVE
FINAL RECITAL OF YEAR
Members of the advanced public speaking class of the department of public speaking have been giving one-hour lecture recitals during the past week. Onecile Burton gave the last one, "The Dawn of a Tomorrow," this morning at ten-thirty in Green Hall. Members of the department gave it and Eva Hunger, who gave a one-hour clipping from the novel, "Jenka Inside"; Lucie Means, who gave an hour clipping from Booth Tarkington's novel, "Seventeen"; Mael Elmore, who lectured on "Paul Lawrence Lumbar"; Maude Bryan, who recited "Echoes of Kansas History," Kay Davidson, who gave Walther.
These recitals finish the work of the department for this year.
WASON'S TUNNEL TALE WINS
M. L. Peek Awarded Second Place in Journalism Story Contest—Isen
Edward Mason, c119, was awarded the first place in the tunnel story contest of last semester. The announcement of the winner was made by the New York Peek was given second place and Nathan Isenberger received third honor.
The contest was held at the suggestion of Professor A. C. Terrill, of the department of mining and ore dressing. Professor Terrill offered a silver cup to the student in the beginning class in journalism writing the best story on the tunnelling of Mt. Oread.
It has not been decided whether the cup will be given to Mr. Mason or merely have his name engraved on it. In case Professor Terrill, the dooner, thinks the contest should be won, he will be retained by the University and have the winner of a similar contest engraved on it each year.
Professor Terrill holds the opinion that such a contest each year will offer advantages to students who are interested in journalism by giving them opportunities of writing magazine and news stories of a technical nature.

Building Fully Equipped With Gymnasium and Reading Rooms Prepared for Student Officers
pared for Student Officers
The K. U. men at Ft. Riley have been given the advantages of a Y. M. C. A. building in camp. Canvassers are busy raising the required $7,000, which is Kansas' part of the $3,000,-000 national fund to be raised by June 1 to carry on the work war until December this year. This has been divided into fourteen districts with a committee in charge of each district, for the bie Kansas driver
The building at Ft. Riley is a white stone building of two stories, equipped with gymnasium, reading room, writing room, game room, lobby, four bowling alleys and shower baths. The service of the Y. M. C. A. building is seen in the number of home-town apartments built under the made of the writing room, and the number of men taking advantage of the recreation afforded.
It is expected that a hundred Y. M. C. A. buildings will be completed and fully equipped at the various army mobilization camps, very soon, and the rest as rapidly as they are needed.
HOLD CLINIC ON POTATO
Botanists Help Conserve by Making Survey of Plant Diseases Found in Kansas
Perhaps never before has the value of the department of biological science to the state and government been so apparent as now. When this department offered its services several weeks ago, the Department of Agriculture provided a survey and a study of the plants and plant diseases in the state be made.
The botany department, under the supervision of Dr. Charles A. Shull, has been carrying on experiments with drought resisting plants to be used when earlier crops have been killed by winter drought. A variety of beans and a newly introduced chickpea are growing in University gardens; are processed to make a profitable successor to crops killed last winter.
This work has been carried on by Dr. A. J. M., mix instructor in plant pathology. Research on eliminating the potato diseases is being carried on by Doctor Mix in conjunction with the University of Pennsylvania. No disease has been discovered in the Kaw Valley as yet but a close match is being kept.
The department of botany has also perfected a variety of sugar corn with which they have been working for five decades. Corn is croped is suited to the climate of Kansas and is of an exceedingly good quality.
REGISTRATION BY MAIL USED FOR ABSENT MEN
Summer Session Students Eligible for Draft Need Not Go Home
It will not be necessary for University men who intend to enroll for summer school to go home to register for the selective draft, according to George Brune, county clerk of Douglas County.
A provision of the draft law makes it possible for men absent from their voting precincts to register by mail, in case they are unable to go home for registration. Such men are required to appear before the county clerk for registration some time prior to June 5. This must be done with their registration cards to reach their home precincts by June 5.
All men who have attained to the age of twenty-one years and who have not yet reached the age of thirty-one, except officers and enlisted men of the regular army, the navy, and the national guard and naval forces in the United States, are subject to the provisions of the new law.
There has been some doubt among members of the National Guard as to whether they were required to register, since they are not yet in the federal service. Mr. Brune has received no special onions on that matter and says it is his opinion that national guardmen would not be required to register.
Those who, by reason of sickness, are unable to present themselves for registration, are required to make application to the county clerk prior to registration for instructions as to how they may be registered by agent.
BACTERIOLOGISTS HONORED
George Kernohan Goes to Washington and Other Students of Professor
Recognizing the value of the work in the department of bacteriology in the University, outside bacteriologists are offering men specializing here excellent positions. George Kernohan, a special in the College who has been majoring in bacteriology, has just been given an appointment in the Bureau of Animal Industry in Washington, D. C.
Hal Sherman and Donald Milligan, also students in the department, have been given special prizes in Rush Medical School in Chicago for papers written on research work. Mr. Sherman's paper is on "Immunity."
All of these students, as well as E. Lee Trecee, who was recently made city bacteriologist in Kansas City, were students working under Noble Sherwood, assistant professor of bacteriology.

Chemicals for use in the department of chemistry, which were ordered in January, have just arrived. The delay was caused by the shortage of freight cars rather than the chemicals themselves, according to C. W. Seibel, chemistry custodian. Owing to the urgent need of the delayed supplies the chemists were forced to manufacture their own chemicals.

DATE OF GRADUATION WILL NOT BE CHANGED
students May Register by Mail
—Program for Tuesday
to Be in Morning
At a meeting of the Chancellor's cabinet last night, it was decided to have Commencement Day Wednesday, the 6th. Men graduates who want to go home to register, may be excused on Tuesday, but are urged to return Wednesday for commencement exercises.
The whole program Tuesday will be given in the morning. A half holiday has been granted for that day so that the University may comply with the proclamation of the governor and be free to participate in any patriotic exercises in the afternoon or evening that may be planned in Lawrence.
"It is also hoped," said Registrar George O. Foster this morning, "that the morning exercises will be patriotic. The Chancellor has decided to call off his reception, as not being in keeping with the tradition, but that it is hoped that the alumni will not give the ball they had planned. They have been asked not to do so."
Aside from the Tuesday program, plans will be changed very little. University authorities urge that all students that can possibly do so, participate in the Commencement Week exercises.
)RCHESTRA BACK AGAIN
Four of the Eight Numbers for Next Year's Fine Arts Concert Course Are Announced
"Four of the eight numbers to be given to the University of Kansas in next year's concert course have already been signed for," said Dean Harold F. Butler of the School of Fine Arts this morning.
"The opening number has not been arranged for as yet," said Dean Butler, "but we expect to have the complete course signed up and ready to announce before the students leave for home this summer."
"Two engagements with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra with four soloists, one with the Zoellner Quartet and Jeannette Durno, pianist, of Chicago, and the fourth with Christine Harcourt of New York, have been made.
One of the numbers Dean Butler hopes to secure for next year is a vocal quartet of men's and women's voices. This would mean an interesting program of ensemble singing, quartets, trios, and duets.
MISS DUFFIELD HEADS Y. W.
New York City Secretary Will Take Place Left Vacant by Miss Gittens' Resignation
Miss Katherine Duffield of New York has been elected secretary of the Y. W. C. A. for next year. Miss Katherine graduated and has been a city association secretary in New York. Her work has been among factory and shop girls.
Miss Anne Gittens, who has been secretary here for three years, will study at Columbia University next year. During Miss Gittens' term of office the membership of the association will be increased to 435. The average attendance at the Tuesday afternoon meetings now in 210. Three years ago it was 83.
Miss Gittens was instrumental in starting the Big Sister movement and in putting the association finances on a pledge instead of a paid member, before the committee was increased to include teas for University women and the Y. M.-Y. W. parties. The promotion committee has been added to the cabinet this year. Its purpose is to do personal work for church members. It has also organized association offices in Myers Hall were fitted up after Miss Gittens came.
LAW FACULTY ANTICIPATES
TWO-TIRIDS ENROLMEN
"The faculty of the School of Law is expecting to see at least two-thirds of the law students back next year," said Professor Humble. "Classes have been overcrowded; so a slight rise in the number will not seriously affect the school."
When asked what he thought of encouraging more women to take work in the School of Law, Professor Humble said: "There is a growing demand for women in the business world and there is no course which will better prepare a man or woman for that work than a course in law. I believe it would be more of an inducement for students to take some law courses if they did not have to pay the additional entrance fee."

The K. U. members of the Kansas City Section of the American Chemical Society have adopted a French war baby. She is six-year old Madeline Rignaud of Paris. The chemists are going to call her by a chemical name instead of by her own French name. "Ethyl is the one we are thinking of," said Dr. Frank B. Dains of the department of chemistry,

UNIVERSITY COMMONS NOW A POSSIBILITY
Havekorst Plans to Divert Enterprise Profits to Student Welfare
WOULD BE HELP TO ALL
By Lowering Price of Board, Such an Institution Could Serve Community
All organizations will be required to report to a single manager an account of their receipts and expenditures, and whatever is cleared on such enterprises as the Soph Hop, Junior Prom and Jayhawk will be turned into a fund for establishing a commons.
Believing that profits from student enterprises can be used for establishing a University Commons, Walter Hawkevork, new president of the Men's Student Council, is formulating plans that will make graft at the University an impossibility and will insure funds for quarters where students can board without being deprived of nutritious food.
GIVEN CONSIDERATION BEFORE
The Board of Administration and other University authorities are also considering such a proposition. The present Board of Administration has already given its aid in establishing commons at three of the state schools, Hays Normal, Pittsburgh Normal, and Kansas State Agricultural College.
The Board of Administration has considered the proposition in the past, but has not taken the step because of the fact that no building was available for such an undertaking. It is now thought, according to Registrar George O. Foster, that it may be possible to utilize a part of the building now occupied by Fowler Shops as a commons.
"Student commons at the University must come sooner or later," said Registrar Foster this morning. "The price of board at Lawrence restaurants and boarding clubs is so high that the students cannot afford to pay upfront." The schools where they have been established the price of board is very reasonable, and there is no reason why it cannot be made so hard.
MIDDLEMEN GET PROFITS
"This high price," continued Mr. Foster, "is because of the profits of the middlemen. Students are furnishing a living for the boarding house and school and when they are able to stop that the price of board will come down."
"At the State Agricultural College," said Mr. Foster, "the commons are in charge of the domestic science department, and food that is both sanitary and wholesome is furnished at reasonable rates. The memus are made out by experts and are planned for their nutritive value, rather than for the purpose of yielding a large profit."
Those working on the plans believe that commons at the University, probably supervised by the department of domestic science, and employing students in the b. c. l. for the students at the University.

STICKING IT OUT
"Progress is the law of life; man is not man as yet."—Browning.
In spite of the many vacant chairs in every class room, both professors and students are trying to hold out during these two last weeks.
The library is less populated, especially at that time when dates were wont to gather; but still term papers must be written and thesis material must be gathered. Dr. Burdick's deep bassundo voice thunders out from hollow windows of Green Hall. And the girls, bless them, seem to be of increasing numbers, wearing even brighter colors than in any previous spring.
And they talk about the first Officers' Ball at the Fort.
We are waiting for someone to advance the theory that "to flunk in German is the highest sort of patriotism."
AN OPPORTUNITY
The wise student will not miss his opportunity to see the Louis Raemaeker cartoons now on exhibition in Room 302 of the Administration Building. Raemaeker is considered the greatest cartoonist that the world had ever developed; and no one can spend five minutes among his pictures without coming to feel that the verdict is well-founded.
Raemaeker shows us war—war in all its grizzly horrors. His brilliant attacks on the Kaiser, who is featured in many of the cartoons-caused the German government to place a price upon his head.
It's your chance—now. The admission price of ten cents goes to the Red Cross
It's your chance to see some excellent pictures and to help a worthy cause.
Editorially, of course, we advocate that all students subscribe to the Liberty Loan. Practically—Well, the government would have received more student support had it floated the loan at the end of the vacation, when pocketbooks are crammed with the results of the summer's work.
FOR THE PROFESSORS
Princeton University, which has been hard hit by the declaration of war, has undertaken a task that deserves widespread notice and commendation throughout the educational world. The following editorial from the Princeton Alumni Weekly is one of the comments upon it:
it is gratifying to learn that in the case of members of the Faculty who enter or have entered the government service during this term, the University is preparing to continue payments in such a manner that those who have accepted calls at lesser salaries will receive from Princeton the difference between their salaries as
faculty members and as government employees. It is impossible to state at present what the University can do in this regard after the end of the present academic year. It is hoped that some satisfactory arrangement may be made both for the professors who leave and for those who remain."
One soldier lad who has taken three hikes with the Fort Riley boys has now decided that he'll join the aviation corps.
ABOUT THOSE ACCOUNTS
Many weeks have passed, and as yet most of the treasurers of student organizations and managers of student enterprises have failed to turn in itemized accounts of the funds they have handled. The failure to do this does not necessarily mean graft, but lax business methods; and this has been prevalent in student affairs not only this year but from time immen...rial.
It is hard to see where it would be detrimental to a student's reputation that he should have failed to use strict accounting in the spending and receiving of funds. Most of the other students would have done the same. Students are slow in using scientific business methods in the conduct of school affairs. The majority of them naturally rely on the honesty and trustworthiness of their fellow associates in dealings between each other, and do not graft or even have any thought of grafting.
This is probably what has happened in the conduct of the great majority of student enterprises this year. If it is true, then the men who had charge of the funds should come out and frankly admit the use of loose business methods. It will not injure their standing among the student body.
On the other hand, the longer they keep still, the more suspicion is aroused.

MISS TOPPING'S BENEFIT RECITAL A SUCCESS
Crowded House Sees Interpre-
tative Dancing in Greek
Numbers and Ballet
With almost every seat in the house filled, the Red Cross benefit by Helen Topping and pupils in the Bowersock Theater last night was financially and entertainingly a success. From the time the orchestra struck up the band to the moment of the culmination, the recital held the closest attention of the audience.
The hit of the evening was the dancing of Beethoven's "Minuet in G," by Lorca Siebert, four years old, of Kansas City. Betty Stimpson, one of Miss Topping's youngest pupils, did exceptionally good work in Mendelsohn's "Spring Song." Farrell was another juvenile dancer who deserves special mention in her interpretation of MacDowell's "To a Wild Rose."
The illness of Miss Topping prevented her appearance on the program, but she was able to be present at the theater and to direct the performance, then by Miss Rohyn Bagnell, fourteen years old, of Kansas City, who did commendable work regardless of the fact that she had only an hour in which to rehearse. Miss Margaret Pottibone and Miss Helen Miles from Kansas City and James Ncaught make to the program n success.
Ensemble numbers which were especially well done were "The Gypsy Camp" by Helen Clark and Earl Metcalf and chorus of dancers; the "In Arcadia" by Clyde Farnsworth, Miss Davis, and the Greek dancers. The "Ballet Joyeux" was the closing and most effective dance on the program.
Clever duets were "Columbine and Harlequin." by Miss Bagnell and Mr. McNaught, the "Wooden Shoe Dance" by the Wolley sisters, and the Russian Mazurka by Dorothy Cole and Earl Metcalf.
Dorothy Miller's Nautch dance was well executed; and Mr. McNaught danced a bacchanale in his usual spirited manner, having danced to Farrell, Farrell, Marsh, Youmans, Griffith, and Miller was also taking.
BY THE WAY
Edna Davis assisted with vocal solos and took the vocal invitation in the woodland scene, "Areadia." The Camp Fire Girls joined in the ensemble chorus, "The Star Spangled Banner."
Engagement Announced
Mr. and Mrs. W, O. Anderson of Topeka have announced the engagement of their daughter, Gertrude, to Mr. Paul Armantrout.
Miss Anderson studied art and music at Washburn.
Mr. Armrantwatt attended the University and is a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. He has enlisted officers' training camp at Fort Riley.

COLLEGE GIRLS COOK FOR COLLEGE FARMER
Cooking, Canning, and Serving Will Be Woman's Share in Farm Work
In the interests of the State Council of Defense, a plan for University women to go to the farms to work this summer is being presented to the Governor by the Miss Glee Stallard and Miss Minnis Sharp of Ottawa University.
The increased food production which is being demanded of the farmers will increase the amount of work to be done by the women on the farms. It has been almost impossible to seize land and labor in the country. Now that more help than ever is needed it is the plan of the Council of Defense to enlist the women of the colleges and universities of the state in this branch of work. Also, said Miss Stallard, twenty-five per cent of the women of Ottawa University consented to work on the farm this summer if they can secure places.
The plan has been indorsed by Governor Capper, Chancellor Strong, and President Waters of the Agricultural College. It is being presented here before it is brought up in any other school because the Council wishes the University to set the example for the girls in the other institutions.
Application for work on farms is to be made to Miss Anne Gittens, who will communicate with the county chairman of the Council who receive applications for help from farmers. Girls will be paid a good living wage, and will not be asked to do work in farm buildings. Employees will be housewife, canning, and so forth.
The Farmers' Union believes that town girls can be useful in farm work. It says: "Town girls can be used to far better advantage in a farm home to do housework than to go to do farm work. There is as much or more need today for help in the house than for outdoor help. Housework in the country is not much different from housework in the city."
MICHIGAN AMBULANCE CORPS
MAY GO ABROAD BY JULY 1
Providing the plan is carried out, it will first be necessary to raise $10,000 to finance the men. This sum will be furnished to the net提存人 or alumni. The next step will be the securing of papers of recommendation and other information which will be sent on to Boston and Washington to obtain passports for the men.
If the plans of a group of students at the University of Michigan go through they will have an ambulance corps in France within two months. It will be absolutely necessary, however, that every student have definite permission from home, and be in proper physical condition to go. Twenty-one men have already been submitted for approval. Several more are ready to go but have not as yet received permission from home.
Student Reporters Aid Council Much of the emergency newspaper material urging and guiding increased student participation out by the University of Wisconsin, under the direction of the State Council of Defense, is being prepared by students in the course in journalism. Fifty-ax upperclass journalism students, 25 men and 21 women, have volunteered their skills to the cil.
Dartmouth, Leland Stanford, Harvard and Princeton have each three ambulance corps in the field. Tufts college is forming a corps and will probably sail with the unit from Michigan.

Owl Meeting at Sig Alph house is postponed until tomorrow night.
Traveling over a hot desert hunting fossils with pick and shovel and only a dainty to carry the supplies, is the life which Prof. Fritz Sterner has taught in summer. The party will consist of Mr. Douthitt, Charles Sperry, a student, and a cook.
American Travels With Donkey In Texas Desert
They expect to leave Lawrence June 3 for Seymour, Texas, where they will remain a short time. With only a donkey to carry the necessary supplies, they will leave for the Permian Fossil Fields. It will be a very interesting trip although they expect to be subjected to many discomforts.
The drinking water will be the greatest inconvenience. In the summer the streams are reduced to shallow pools in which the water, reddened by the rocks, is covered by a green surface where pools around snakes, frogs, and turtles.
A real discomfort will be found in the bites of the large mosquitoes. On a previous expedition Professor Douthit found an effective means of keeping them away from people when he went to bed, and found that the mosquitoes do not bite in a light. Cloud bursts are a source of real danger as it is necessary to pitch their tent near a stream. A storm comes up in ten minutes and less than half an hour, in place of the痒 catch there will be a raging torrent.
"Hunting fossils ten or twelve hours a day is no crack job," said Professor Douthitt. "By ten o'clock the sun is so blistering hot that it is necessary to hunt shade until about five o'clock. There is only cactus and mesquite brush and that doesn't damage them until it nearly overcomes one. In order to avoid the heat we expect to get up about 3:30 and be at work as soon as we can see."
In hunting the fossils the party will first lay out the ground that they expect to cover and mark the most prominent ones, then go over it with pick and shovel.
The Date Rule will not be suspended this week except for Tuesday night and then only for Miss Helen Topping's recital at the Bowersock. The day before she was suspended during quiz week.-Katheline Reding, president W. S. G. A.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
TO CLOSE RECRUITING OFFICE HERE SUNDAY
Volunteers Are Badly Needed to Bring Co. M Up to Full Peace Strength
The recruiting office for Company
Marmosum gymnasium will close
next Sunday.
This means that any K. U. man who desires to enter the Company by the volunteer method must go to the recruiting officer right away," said Captain Jones this morning, "The stopping of all volunteering for army service June 5, the day set for registration for select draft, is being made available to the War department. The regular army needs more than 100,000 recruits and the national guard units even more than number.
"Every K. U. man between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one who has not enlisted must register for service June 5. Those who desire to serve them, if they serve may, if they wait too long, find the road to volunteering closed."
The recruiting office in Robinson gymnasium has been open for over a month. Everyone who wants to volunteer has had abundant opportunity to do so and yet Company M has not recruited up to peace strength. Company M will be sent with the rest of the Kansas National Guard to the training camps in the south August 5. If enough men do not volunteer, they will have the strength by that time the quota of men for Kansas to raise by selective conscription will be increased sufficiently to do so.
Four more Company M will leave for the Officers' Training Camp at Fort Riley this week. They are Sergeants Griand, Hartley, Kelly, and Kyle who have delivered their appointments through the recommendation of Captain Jones.
Company M is now represented by fourteen men at the Officers' Training camp. Those who were appited previously are: Byron McGinnes, Hugh McGinness, Ralph Auchard, Virgil Auchard, Fordcey Coe, John McMurphy, Floyd Couchman, Ralph Rader, S. P. Moyer, or B. C. Kelly.
Other K. U. men appointed to the Fort Riley camp by General Martin are Sergent Earl B. Metcalf of Company H, Lawrence, and Sergeant Ernest E. Blincoe, Company G, Fort Scott.
SPORT BEAMS
Tennis fans will get a chance to see some real fast tennis playing tomorrow afternoon as the Missouri players will stop off on here on their way home. The team hattan. This is not a scheduled meet between the two schools, however.
The only other event of importance in men's athletics besides the tennis tournaments at Chicago and Manhattan is the Missouri Valley Conference track meet at Ames Saturday. Five Kansas track man will probably enter the meet. Capt. Fred Rodkey, Sproul, Grice, Rubratz, and O'Leary have been working out on McCook Field track in preparation for the meet.
The Tiger track team has the best chance to win the Valley championship at Ames, but Nebraska is doped by Captain Rodkey to be a strong contender. He believes the Cornhuskers have a prime on the Tigers, Kansas does not support more than twenty points, as the entire squad will not make the trip.
The junior women's baseball nine will play with the sophomore nine on the women's athletic grounds this afternoon. The junior nine has not yet won a game, but Brown is confident her players can defeat Capt. Carol Martin's proteges.
The Kansas baseball players have checked in their suits and are now engrassed in their studies preparing for their examinations which begin Monday.
The feature of the women's baseball game this afternoon will be the umpire—who will be a man. Fat Nelson, captain of the Jayhawker basketball

The women athletes who are taking work in the department of physical education are to have a gymnastic party in Robinson Gymnasium tonight. The invitations were sent out yesterday and, from the weird cartoons of women gymnastic stunts on the invitations, the natural conclusion is that the gymnastic party is to be "some party."
Damp weather prevented the women tennis players from continuing the class tournament yesterday. The class tournament has been nearly over, and no more class tournament will start just as soon as the weather permits.
Pessimists See K. U. As Girl's Seminary In '17-18
Thirty-six down and two more weeks to go, but if the same singular atmosphere prevails throughout the next week, that has during the past two-What is going to become of the University? Some girls have fully decided to attend seminaries next year, and there has even been talk of turning the University of Kansas into a girls boarding school.
Students sit gazing out of the windows with their minds about 107 miles away from here (so far only girls have been observed). All kinds of things have been printed concerning the date rule, but Katherine Reding's daily denial has reserved space in the Kansan.
A reporter returned from an interview with Mrs. Brown and announced the fact that the date rule was not off but Mrs. Brown had left town. Even if Mrs. Brown has given it up as impossible to prevent mid-week dates and left town, the W. S. G. A. is still abroad.
But what is the use to take things to heart? Now is your chance to show your colors. You don't have to go to war to be a hero. The United States is going to need you with an education just as badly as the soldier with a gun. Maybe there'll be men in school next year.

Tennis Players to Western and

The Jayhawker tennis racksters will get into action again after being idle for two weeks. Kenneth Uhl will represent Kansas in the big tournament at Chicago while Chltv. Ellyn Cowgill Roy Henderson and another player will represent Kansas in the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament at Manhattan, Friday and Saturday.
Mgr. W. O. Hamilton received word from the authorities of the Chicago tournament yesterday that Kansas would be permitted to enter, so he immediately entered Captain Gowlgill and Kenneth Uhls
Complications may arise, however,
if Kansas does not enter the Missouri
states.
There has been some talk of postponing the Valley tournament, and Coach Chevenger of the Angles excused himself from a plan, but Coach Brewer of the Tigers was pessimistic over the idea of postponing the Vally tournament so that Kansas, or any other Valley school would not attend the Chicago tournament.
This state of affairs is the basis of Captain Cowgill's prediction that the Kansas team will probably be split so that Kansas may be represented at both tournaments. Kansas is strong in tennis this year and there must be much question that Captain Cowgill should win against the Valley championship, as they beat Coach Brewer's tennis wielders at Columbia May 11 and 12.

RAEMAEKER CARTOONS
A KULTURKAMPF INDEX
Co-efficients of Civilization to Extent They Portray Negative Power—Hekking
BELGIAN ACHIEVES FAME
Continental European Art Center Recognizes Worth of the Young Flemish Cartoonist
The Louis Raemacker war cartoons on exhibit in Room 302, Administration Building, are, literally speaking, co-efficients of civilization, says William H. Hekkling, professor of art and drama at the University that they portray a negative power and give a true index to the German kurtkampt.
CRITICS RECOGNIZE CARTOONIST
The object of art is to portray life as the artist sees it, continued Professor Hekking. And the success of his work depends upon the interpretation which he gives life. The successful artist is the one who strikes the realism in his photos of life and arouses critics, students and others to recognition.
The cartoons now on display are of this spirit. They bespeak the German War Department attitude in the press under the crayon of Mr. Raemaker.
CARTOONS ROUSE GERMAN IRE
Some critics of Mr. Raemaeker have said that he has exaggerated his impression of the German kulturkamp, however, such criticism is readily erased when we note the recognition gained not only from the best critics and students of France but all England as well.
It was largely due to Mr. Raemaker's cartoons that England was aroused to the true situation with which she was confronted. Again it would seem that Mr. Raemaker had hit the nail on the head when he aroused the War Department to extent that they have set a price upon his head.
Professor Hekking said he regretted much that more of the students and townpeople did not take notice of his views, viewing the cartoons cannot help being gripped with the horrors of the impression portrayed by the artist.
ORCHESTRA GIVES CONCERT
Master Ewing Poteet Plays Violin Solo—Several Other Special Numbers on Program
Master Ewing Poteet, who is five and a half years old and has been taking violin lessons for less than six months, played a German song at the orchestra concert last night which surprised and deliciated me, unless she were clear and sweet and he showed a sense of time that was significant.
The work of the orchestra, which was conducted by Prof. Wort S. Morse, showed the result of months of hard work. The Allegro Movement from Beethoven's Fifth Symphony was especially well rendered.
Harold Lyle played a cornet solo, "Peristyle Polka," by Chambers. He was accompanied by his mother, Mrs. W. H. Lytle. Miss Alta Siphang tosti "Sernata." Miss Smith's ability to produce full, high, round tones gives to her audience a sense of security and pleasure. Other special numbers Prof. Wort S. M.; Miss Ann Sumner Prof. Wort S. M.; Professor Prof. W. B. Dalton; an violin solo by Professor Morse; and a violincello solo by Professor Dalton.

KANSAS NATIONAL GUARDS
WILL NOT MOBILIZE-JONES
Captain Jones received information this morning that there would be no preliminary mobilization of the National Guard before they are sent to the training camps in the South August 5. This order is of particular significance to guardmen who are employed on farms as much of the harvesting and threshing will be over by that time.
The recruiting office in Robinson Gymnasium, closes this week, and the recruiting officers are making strenuous efforts to get enlistments before the University men start for home for their summer vacation. They point out that under the present plans students can enlist without being called into service until they have finished their regular summer's work.

DRAFT LAW MAY TOUCH
NATIONAL GUARDSMEN
The Important Question Now is "To Register or Not to Register"
The most puzzled men on the Hill today are the national guardsmen between the ages of twenty-one and fifty-six, who are not to register—that is the question.
The new law says that all males between the ages of twenty-one and thirty, inclusive, except officers and enlisted men of the regular army, the navy, the national guard, and naval militia, while in the service of the United States, shall submit to registration under the provisions of this act.
Are the members of the national guard in the service of the United States? That is the question which the guardsmen are unable to settle. They are well aware that they are not in the federal service in the sense in which they are law enforcement on the border; on the county Clerk Brune says that since they have voluntarily enlisted, and are in readiness to answer the president's call, they are not subject to the new law. On the other hand, Adjutant General Martin believes that all members of the national guard, except those now in the federal service are subject to the new law and will be required to register.
When told the opinion of General Martin, Mr. Brune stated he would get definite information on the question, but as yet nothing definite has been learned. The guardians are now hoping to help all that will be required to register for the draft, since they have volunteered without compulsion or draft.
New Members Are Elected to Board of Control and Plans Made for the Autumn
The Kansan board, which controls the publication of the Daily Kansan, is preparing for the opening of school next fall. Last night the board elected twelve new members who were chosen on a competitive basis for valuable work on the paper. Those elected are: H. C. Hangen, Raymond Hemphill, M. C. Lippert, Kefft Marion Lionce, Everett Palmer, M. L. Peek, Joe J. Pratt, Dean Reitzel, Marjory Roby, Vivian Sturgeon, and Wayne Wilson.
Eugene Dyer, present assistant news editor, was elected news editor. Dorothy Cole was given the position of chief reporter and she re-elected Plain Tales editor and Mary Smith was made secretary of the Kansan Board. Don Dwight Davis was elected officer-in-chief some time later to his duties in that office in the fall.
At the close of the semester Herbert Howland retires as editor-in-chief. The other seniors who will be automatically retired at the close of school are: Vernon A. Moore, business manager, Helen Patterson, Robert H. Reed, Wilbur Fischer, and Alfred G. Hill.
MAY REGISTER AT UNIVERSITY
Registration may be made at the business office Thursday, Friday and Saturday of next week. It is probable the registration may be made at the office as soon as it special hours are established, an announcement will be made later.
Arrangements have been made by University authorities for University students of the draft age to register at the business office on the first floor of Fraser Hall. This will save students' staying in Lawrence for commencement suites (see below) from going home or to the county clerk here for registration.
The War Department's plans provide that educational institutions may, for the convenience of students, arrange for registration at the institutions themselves. To do this here some one at the University will be deputized as a registration clerk and will handle all student registrations.
Students Who Are Unable to Go Home Will Be Permitted to Send Name by Mail
According to Prof. W. W. Wheeler, University marshal, those who register here need not fear the penalty on this account, as the names of all who register will be taken and certified by the clerk.
Owing to the heavy penalties for failure to register, many students have been somewhat anxious regarding registration. Some have feared their registration cards mail service, their registration cards, or each teach their home precincts by June 5.
Phi Alpha Tau, dramatic fraternity, held initiation night at the Eldridge House for Alan Burch. Preparation to the initiation a banquet was served.
HOLIDAY MAKES CHANGE IN ALUMNI DAY PLANS
No Alumni Ball or Cancellor' Reception Since Simplicity is Feature of Week
Commencement week will be as attractive for visitors this year as in former years, regardless of the fact that many of the senior men will not participate. The program will be necessary but will not deteriorate the value of the week.
Because June 5 has been declared a holiday, the Tuesday afternoon program will be changed. The Chancellor's reception and the Alumni Ball will not be held this year. The band concert will be given during the class breakfast, eight o'clock Tuesday morning. the alumni address will be delivered at ten instead of eleven o'clock Tuesday as formerly arranged. the alumni business meeting will be changed to eleventh-o'clock.
Students are urged by University authorities to stay for Commencement Week to fill up the gap left by senior men going home. Some sororities are compelling their members to until after Commencement this year.
William Jennings Bryan will give the Commencement address at ten o'clock Wednesday morning in Robinson Gymnasium. The subject of his talk will be "Fundamentals." Imma will address the degree addresses will be conferred.
The baccalaureate sermon will be delivered by the Rev. Frank G. Smith, of the First Congregational Church of Kansas City, Sunday, June 3. The subject of the address is "The Fundamental Factor in a Successful Life."
The alumni address will be given by J. M. Challis, LLB. '94. Miss Kate Stephens, A.B. '75. A.M. '78; Scott Hopkins, A.B. '81. A.M. '90; and Chancellor Strong will speak at the memorial services Tuesday morning.
WAR MASKS USED AT K. U
Chemists Use Apparatus to Work With Dangerous Gases in Laboratory—Safety from Fires
War is here indeed. Gas masks are being manufactured and worn on the Hill. The department of chemistry has just added to its equipment three gas masks—one direct from the front and donated to the department by Mr. Charles Greisan, who made in Lawrence after this model.
The masks are a preparedness measure to be used in case of explosions of chlorine with which Dr. H, P. Cady is experimenting. This gas contains a small amount of chlorine gas, but causing little damage.
"Chlorine is the chemical the Germans use in their gas bombs," said Prof. P. V. Faragher. "The explosion here today caused little trouble since only a small amount of gas escaped, but a large amount may doode and we need to protect us to save our lives. We keep them at hand ready for use in an emergency."
If the mask is worn, a man can work safely in the gas, and prevent damage from fires starting from explosions.

for a New Company
A recruiting station . has been opened in Robinson Gymnasium for an ambulance corps unit of the Kansas National Guard. The command now has ninety-five men. It received sixteen combat-ready recruits to war strength, 150 men, and and effort is being made to get K. U. men into the corps.
Captain E. R. Tenney, a practicing physician in Kansas City, Kans., will command the new company. Dr. Richard Speck of Kansas City will be first lieutenant. It is the policy of the men who are organizing the corps to recruit as many university students as possible from the University of Ottawa, from the Agricultural College and from the University have enlisted.
The following men of the University have enlisted in the corps: Karl Brown, John Browley, Chester Moehlen, Michaels Clinton, Peterxter, Doyle Buckle and Phil Gibson.
The company, after being recruited to full strength will be ordered to Fort Riley or Leavenworth for three months of training.
Jayhawkers for All
"The Jayhawker office will be kept open Saturday morning and next week until all the books are sold," said Arnold Nordstrom this morning. "We still have a number of annuals that are not spoken for and any one can get them at the Fraser Check Stand."

DEFENSE COUNSEL PLANS
TO MAKE ONE COMMITTEE
The Kansas State Committee on hospitals, surgeons, nurses, and the corresponding Federal Committee meets in Kansas City May 29, to consolidate into one committee. Drs. M. T. Sudder and John Sundwall of the faculty of the School of Medicine are on this committee.
It is probable that a state committee on Red Cross organization will be made official by the Federal Red Cross Society soon. The State and Federal Committees have been working separately in the past, but as the United States has worked in common if they are not made a part of the national organization.
Committees on recruiting, defense, and vagrancy now are being organized for practical work. These committees comprise many of the Division of Public Defense.
Plain Tales from the Hill
Here's a boy who likes school so well that he comes on the Hill when he is not supposed to, thereby missing one hour of sleep. And sleep is a valuable asset these times. Wm. D. Nutting of the Sigmama fraternity and a freshman is the boy. Bill came up this morning for an eight-thirty class which is one of these three hour classes meeting on M.W.F.
'Tis Student Day. Tra la.
And tomorrow's the day we get to see the proofs writhe in anguish and sit their finger nails and scratch heir heads and swallow their gum and yach cherry cakes and make the quizis for next week just a little harder.
These question marks thus: ?. And these R. J. things are getting on our already shattered nerves. The latest is a ? tacked onto the bulletin board. Says it is going to happen May 27. Now if they don't hurry up and tell us we are going to quit school that's what.
Who fixes straw hat day. anyhow? asks Anxious Inquirer.
Well—the merchants are responsible, mostly. They have to sell their supply of hats and by naming the day they wear them, they'll get the hats. Up to Kansas City the hatters took three meetings before they could decide upon which day every man, young or old, should blossom out. We can imagine the meetings. About as exciting as a Pan-Hellenic meeting with a group of people in Last year weather made the date two weeks earlier. This year it is today. Did you have yours on?
To all those gawking creatures who looked and smiled at the class in free hand drawing which was pgspectiving Spooner Library yesterday afternoon: They were human folks just as you and me and the stone steps they sat upon were as hard as the steps to be taken of these steps. And the bunch on the steps had to get its grades. So it was no laughing matter.
Talk about Ruth St. Denis and Mary Garden. K. U. is coming up, down on the tennis court south of the Hill yesterday a girl was playing board games, beddings. In other words, she was barefooted. Back to nature! Rah!
The Math Club, besides enjoying itself with squares and triangles and straight lines, gets frivolous—really so, sometimes—and does things unheard of. This last is going to happen this week, and you will look at the time. It is six bells in the a. m., watch, naughtyly speaking. Yeah, you've guessed it; it's a picnic. The imitators of Aristotele and Archimedes and Triangle Mike are to meet at Fourteenth and Massaun at 10 a.m. and from there start. They go first to the classroom then will select some place to spread their breakfast. Shades of all lines*
Over in the geology classes they tell you the world is annually growing colder. And we know that the higher the temperature, the more with this data before we use, we proceed:
On the twenty-second day of May, 1917, Miss Margarethe Hochderfer, who conducts a class way up on the fourth floor of Fraser had to deliver a German class of an hour of instructed just because the room was so cold.
Now go to it, geologists, and prove your point. There's the dope.
Grad Magazine Out
The May edition of the Graduate Magazine is being mailed today. This edition does not show any of the evil effects of the war, as it is a full, newy number and has several articles interesting to the Old Grads. A good cut of the new bridge across the Kofa lake and a landscape map of the planting on the campus will also meet the hearty approval of the graduates.
The Math Club will meet at the corner of 14th and Massachusetts street Wednesday morning, May 30 at 6 o'clock for a breakfast hike.
STUDENT SPEAKERS TO GRILL PROFS FRIDAY
"Naughty Rally" Deal and Paddle Steal Rouses Student Ire to Fever Heat
"HIDE HANGING" BY SEVEN
Six Men and One Woman Will Put Across the Annual Gridiron Stunt
The complains and the grievances students of the various schools of the University have been accumulating during the year will be aired in Fraser Chapel at 4 o'clock tomorrow at the expresses at our student speakers. This is the day students are free to register their "kicks" and the Student Day affair Friday promises to be no exception to the rule according to Walter Havekorst, president of the Men's Student who will be in charge of the meeting.
IN RE NAUGHTY RALLY
The speakers have been chosen and are ready to talk. Cecile Burton will speak for the College. She is the second woman in the history of the school, who spoke for the students. Add Dykes, who spoke last year, was the first.
"Doc" Burch has been chosen to present the case for the School of Law. He is expected to vent the spleen of the laws re the "Naughty students" over half of the nine student martyrs were "dicapes or Uncle Jimmy".
Charles F. Sloan will give the Engineer's opinion of the turmillo and unrest of the other schools on the hill. The only "kick" the engineers are likely to make is that the laws have forced them to face the furious coerce while the khaki-shirted must use field glasses to enjoy their company.
DIAGNOSIS BY MEDICINE MEN
Much mystery surrounds the speaker for the department of journalism, but the latest reports say he will be deaf, dumb, and blind. He probably will make himself better known than any other spellbinder. The Daily Kansan is well informed on student activities and the innovation gives notice of being a real treat.
TELLS HOW ADS ARE MADE
The other speakers are Walter Priest for the School of Medicine; Charles F. Suffield, School of Education, and Wesley Childs for the School of Pharmacy. These schools always offer education to others and the way politics are run.
F. L. Hillman of Kansas City Explains Tonight Way Department Stores Simply Human Needs
Stores Supply Human Needs
Have a great department store understand how to supply every human need, from hairpin to tie, and how it gives the public the news about its universal service, will be explained to journalism students tonight by F. L. Hillman, advertising manager of the Jones Store in Kansas City.
Mr. Hillman is a young Kansas man who has made rapid advancement in advertising work by his quick understanding of the secrets of advertisement work by his quick understanding of the secrets of advertising effectiveness.
His lecture will be the last of the journalism series for the year which has included a dozen of the best journalists and specialists in the Middle West.
The hour for the lecture tonight is seven o'clock and it will be over before eight. It will be held in the lecture room of the journalism building,
UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL WANTS OLD BOTTLES
Have you any bottles in your home? If you have the University Hospital wants them. During the last year ten gross of bottles have been given out by the hospital and then returned. So under the bed, in the church, or somewhere about the students' rooms, there are 1440 bottles.
When you pack your trunk and discard your other invaluable, just put those bottles you have gotten from the hospital into a sack and put them in the university Hospital. They are useless to you and valuable to the hospital.
Convocation Tomorrow
The last convocation of the year will be held Friday at eleven o'clock. The first three periods will be shortened to the usual forty minutes and the 11:30 classes will not be held.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the University of Kansas, to go further than merely print the news of the university, to verify the university holds; to play no farther than be clean; to be cheerful; to be friendly; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

THE FLAG FAD
To be a victim of the flag fad— is it or is it not patriotism?
If every one could wear his patriotism on the inside instead of on the outside! If the dollars that the fat manufacturer grabs by selling decorations for shoe tops, letters, collars, buttonholes and hats could only be added to the Red Cross fund!
A man may love his wife, but he would hardly paste her picture on his neat white shoe tops!
Learning from other people's mistakes would be easier if we did not all feel too smart to make mistakes like other people.
ON STUDENT DAY
Tomorrow's the day!
It is Student Day.
It is the day of the worm that turns—of the downtrodden, brownbeaten student who lives in fear of his professor, but who rises at last to rebel against him—of the dog who has his day.
Nobody ever knows just what is going to happen when a bunch of college orators are turned loose without instruction or warning. The result is a free-for-all scramble of speeches and speechmakers that's good to listen to.
Representatives from every school in the University will mount the platform to tell what his school thinks is wrong with the institution. The faculty will be kidded, ridiculed, scorned —perhaps even praised. The grafters will get theirs. The administration will come in for a few gentle knocks. Somebody will probably launch a hot attack against the politicians. Maybe the legislature will be a topic.
Faculty members who have not been on their best behavior for the last few weeks are shaking in their boots today, in anticipation of the terrible things that may ensue tomorrow. The Man Who Holds Classes Overtime and the Individual Who Gives Shot-gun Quizzes were seen last evening hunting for cover. The Prof Who Indulges In Personalities In Class and the Person Who Overworks His Dear Pupils are planning on leaving for the tall tall timber.
It'll be great sport, seeing who gets caught and who escapes.
And we'll all be there!
Won't We?
Just at this time there's one brotherhood that doesn't seem to be cutting much ice. Reference is had to the Brotherhood of Man.
PAY YOUR DEBTS!
The Kanan has never before seen fit to recommend editorially that a man or an organization in the University pay just debts. Moreover, it isn't sure that it is necessary in
the case to which these remarks apply. This year, however, the last few weeks of school have been so completely upset that a word of warning may be worth while.
In the rush of leaving school, both during the excitement of the withdrawals for military service and in the general turnoll at commencement, it wouldn't be at all surprising if a few organizations or individuals should forget to tie up all loose ends before departing. Perhaps the treasurer and some of the officers of your fraternity have withdrawn in a hurry, leaving business affairs unsettled. No one else has felt any great amount of responsibility, and in consequence matters have been allowed to drift. Or, you may Lave some personal debts unpaid.
Some time a reckoning is bound to come; and the longer it is postponed the greater will be the difficulty when it arrives.
Has any such thoughtlessness as this prevailed in your case or in that of any of the organizations to which you belong?
Wouldn't it be for your own good as well as for that of your associates to look up the matter at once and, if there are irregularities, to straighten them out at once?
Girls are wearing Chinese hats on the campus. That's what comes of putting them on a rice diet.
OTHER OPINIONS
TALK OR CONVERSATION
It is said that the gentle art of conversation has been lost. It would seem entirely true from the flounderings of many of our most prominent students when thrown into conditions necessitating a little real exchange of words and ideas.
What do you talk about? On the campus, in the classroom, at the dinner table, on the car, around the fireplace? Do you ever take a hand in guiding the conversation or do you just drift along with the ebb and flow of words?
A motor expert can tell the make of an automobile without seeing it, by listening to its exhaust. An expert salesman can tell how to approach a merchant or buyer at a glance. The experienced man in any line can read character very accurately by the conversation one carries on. He can measure in a very short time the breadth and depth of a stranger's mind by simply hearing him talk.
There are plenty of good, live topics for conversation today. The college man and woman should always have plenty of really worthwhile things to discuss. It may require a little mental effort to keep off the rocks and shoal of indifference and small talk, but the effort is worth while.-Ex.

WHEN SENIORS WERE SOPHS
sentiment against the "Sour Owl" grows. Mrs. Flora Finch Kelly says the first penalty would be best for its editors. Kansan continues to give the matter publicity in order to "clean up" the Owl. "Real Student" writes to petition faculty and asks student body to petition faculty to discontinue the publication.

HILLTOP PHILOSOPHY
This year the book agents have a brand new line.

JOURNALISM AT K.U.
A couple of weeks ago, E. E. Kelley, editor of the Toronto Republican, spent several days at the University addressing journalism classes and making talks on newspaper management. After he got back home, he devoted two columns in his paper to telling about his experiences. The following are extracts from his article:
"Tuesday and Wednesday of last week the editor was in Lawrence, where he had been invited to talk to the various classes in the School of Journalism at the University of Kansas. The idea on which the invitation was based, as we editors should be qualified to present the attractions of country newspaper work as a career. ****
The School of Journalism has been established several years. If we remember rightly, C. M. Harger, a graduate of the University and now editor of the Abilene Reflector, was the first dean of the department, and had associated with him L. N. Flint, who still keeps the wheels going round in that department. The present dean, Merle Thoree, is away on a leave of absence and is editing the Association's business with Prof. Flint are Samuel O. Rice (who prepares much of the publicity matter sent to Kansas newspapers) J. W. Evans, and a young professor, Frank Thayer. These men are the instructors in all that pertains to making a newspaper, from the three line locals to editorial and advertising work. * * *
"The students in the school of journalism print a paper which is issued five days a week during the school year, and is in its 15th volume. The editorial staff is six in number; there are two on the business staff and fifteen on the news staff, all chosen from the staff. We extend times for changing the members of the staff, so that each student has opportunity to do actual newspaper work. The present editor-in-chief, Macy Helen Patterson, is ending her senior year in college, has been a high school teacher, and expects to teach English in a high school next year. The society editor is Miss Ruth Gardiner, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Gardner, who age 40 at College Park, and who ago at One of the reporters is Alfred G. Hill, a son of Prof. J. H. Hill, once president of the Kansas State Normal. He is after his degree and has to his credit several months of service as a reporter on the Topeka Capital. * * *
"I was a guest at the annual dinner of the Daily Kansas staff and professors, Wednesday night. One of the number, Henry Pegues, just that evening had been called on to report the next day at the officers' training camp at Ft. Riley. If a dinner at which twenty-five were to sit down here in Toronto, with one of the number of guests, I would have been the service the next morning, his presence would be a death's head at feast, the occasion would take on funeral gloom and speechmaking would be the signal for tears to flow. But not so on this occasion. It was a time of laughter and jest, of college song and class yells, of mocking advice and carefree good fellowship. —And yet it was evident that his classmates had a high face like the kids graffited his loss from the class. To me it was only a demonstration that the newer Kansas generation, like the old, faces all things like a thoroughred. * * *
"There is one man of the freshman class taking journalism who is deserving of a paragraph to himself. His name is McMurphy and his some is eight miles east of Madison. He is working his way through school. He knows something of the printer's trade, and does some work in the Kansas office and has some janitor work. He is a country-looking lad with the unconscious I'm-as-good-asany air which is so attractive men who feel he has the world by the tail on a downhill pull. Our guess is McMurphy will pass some of the more brilliant ones in later life because he knows exactly what he wants and to go to after it. * * *
"Naming no names, there are a number of professors at the university who have grown gray in their work there. As a type, they make one think of elderly farmers come to town of a Saturday in a Sunday suit; being uniformly cordial in handshake, unassuming in manner, and treating the stranger within their gates with a certain sort of flattering deference. In an older generation of young professors may give "pep" to the institution, but the gray-haired ones are the ones who know with certainity just what, and what not, to teach. Gray-haired men have learned the uselessness of surplusage. * * *
"I had the pleasure of an hour's visit with Willard Wattles, who is a teacher of English, I believe, in the university. He looks to be twenty-eight, is tall and dark and rather handsome. He is an unassuming young man and a good conversationalist. A man is a good conversation-alist if he lets me do at least half the talking."
ARE COLLEGE ACTIVITIES WORTH WHILE?
Students who have most of their college days behind them are bound sooner or later to question whether they have used wise judgment in directing their interests. If they have fullest benefit from their class room work, they wonder if they have been too narrow in their interpretation of college education; and if they have given the larger share of their attention to extra-curricular interests, they doubt whether they have been justified in doing so. In case the student engages in only a limited amount of outside work, so that his scholastic standing does not suffer, the problem is, of course, easy of solution. Under such circumstances, it is conceded that the outside activities are beneficial in that they give the undergraduate a home away, and which the world is said to be waiting to administer to him.
There are, however, a half-dozen student offices which constitute such a heavy drain on their holders' time and efforts that it is found impossible to do justice to even a light course of studies. Here is where the question arises, oes it pay? The holder of such a position more unsound in his experience than in those of type who lives a life of "academic seclusion" and who looks forward to the Phi Beta Kappa key as the key to success? Again, if the head of a student publication such as the Daily or the Gopher gets so much experience, why should he not go out into the world where he can get his experience at first hand and undiluted, but where he distracts himself, ultimately having no classes? Or if it is true that the student editor receives training equivalent to that offered by the journalism department, and that the business manager gets the equivalent of courses in economics, why not recognize the fact by giving them university credit in journalism or economics, thus argumenting that the refiring stipend and employment program of additional work? Or should he be prepared, when he enters the office, to make a big sacrifice?
These are merely some of the questions that have perplexed us lately, and we do not now undertake to answer them. They are thrown out in the hope that some one who knows these questions will light of experience on a problem that at some time or other every student must face—Ex.

CARLISLE STUDIO
FARMS NEED ALL MEN NOT CALLED TO COLORS
Kansas Council of Defense Asks High School and College Students to Volunteer
The Kansas Council of Defense has sent out a call for college and high school students under conscription age to do work on farms, J. C. Moehler, secretary of the Council, has written letters to teachers asking that they send him names of such students who desire work on farms.
"The call to the colors" said Mr. Moehler, the unusual industrial conditions will reduce greatly the number of men for work on Kansas farms this summer. Even with our small wheat crop, there promises to be a demand for farm workers that must be met in part by high school and college boys below conscription age. This is their chance to play a man's part. The work is patriotic, healthful, remunerative.
"The Council of Defense earnestly requests that you list the name, age, experience, and home address (arranged by counties) of every student living and able to do farm work, and who has not arranged for such work.
"Demands for help are going unfulfilled now and the need is urgent, especially for hands in caring for the first cutting of alfalfa, about ready for the mower. It is suggested that a teacher with a borrowed team and a few implements could give those boys who have had no farm experience some idea of their usefulness in a few days."
Dale-Janney
"Students who desire work on farms this summer and have not already arranged for it should report at once to the Registrar's office," Registrar George O. Foster said this morning.
BY THE WAY—
Announcement has been made of the marriage of Miss Dorothy Dale to Mr. William Mahlon Janney, both of Eureka, on May 19.
Mr. and Mrs. Janney are both grad uates of Washburn. They will make their home in Lawrence this summer and Mr. Janney will take special work in chemistry during the summer session.
Marriage License
Kansas City papers yesterday anounced the issuing of a marriage license to Fred W. Raemer of Toppea and Rhen E. Morzan of Lawrence.

Why Grind and Sweat
Stew and Fret—Exams
Ixorabley and relentlessly "they" are coming on, Senior petitions and public opinion to the contrary. Along with rice, old shoes, wedding rings, fatal ladders, unlucky Fridays and thirteens, we have unrestricted this relic for us. When we do speak, you ask? Why? Of final examinations what else?
Final examinations have been variously considered—as a disease and as a remedy; as a means and as an end; as a necessary evil and as an unmixed condition; as a complication; as a relic after due and careful consideration of the values involved.
"I'd just as soon have a week of finals as a week of anything else," says the student with the strong nerves, the steady preparation and the same on quizzes as in regular recitations and wherefore the gain?
"I'd just as soon be dead and have
it over," moans the nervous student, who gets along nicely during the semester when there is no strain. "I'll be a wreck for a week after they are over." What does it profit a student whose his quizzes and loss his own nerves?
"Say, I certainly want to sit next to you tomorrow," says the lofer to the grind. "I can't be bothered flunking and there is never any time to study." Why the emphasis on a grade when the lofer embezzles his?
Still, perhaps four and a half months is too short a time for a professor to become acquainted with the student. It is so hard for a student to judge.
EXHIBIT ROBINSON MEMORIAL
The Bronze Tablet in Memory of Latin Professor Will Be Presented June 5

Orders for a war strength company have just been received by Ambulance Company No. 2 with headquarters at Kansas City, Kansas. Accordingly, the company will consist of 150 men, equipped with motor ambulances.
Certain service has been promised at an early date, and this service will be one that is purely helpful and not destructive. It is a service that calls for an uncommon type of nerve to function, as characterized by this reason, it naturally makes a stronger appeal to college men than any other class of people.
For Further Information See CHET THOMAS
The company now numbers about 100 men, being made up of the best material possible in Kansas City. More than half of this number are graduates of high schools or representatives from universities, — a number of men from Manhattan. Ottawa and K. U. are already enlisted!
The service of the Ambulance company is in conjunction with a field hospital company, performing the duties of giving care and amending the wounded to the field or base hospitals.

NIOR WOMEN DEFEAT SOPHOMORES 29 TO 9
ayers Show Real Knowledge of National Game by Classy Plays
hastily organized team of seven ior women succeeded in defeating sophomore nine by a 29 to 9 score the women's athletic grounds yess afternoon. The sophomores yed a far better game than they up against the freshman nine, but juniors were able to nose them
Kath Endacott, junior first base and the best all round womanlete in the University, according to haz Shael Pratt, featured by ashing out two long runs for the diors and playing an exceptionally d game at first base. Dorothy erfeld, junior pitcher, featured by meeting for a home run and play; an airtight game on the right side of the sophore players at out first on rollers; e also did some fancy sliding on ses and was the only player to do real "feet-first Varsity slide."
Clara Brown, sophomore catcher, bade one of the longest hits of the time for a home run. The sophomores also made the only two double-team plays in the third innning when Captain Carol Curtin, pitcher, caught a short fly drew it to Marguerite Melville, baseman. The second double innard came in the last inning when one Nelson caught a飞 in left field and caught another runner by him. Marguerite Melville at third base.
The juniors started the scoring in e first inning with one run. They ded ten more in the second and tree more in the third inning before a sophomores started to score by akig three runs. The juniors added other run in the fourth and the phomores repeated with another n. The juniors then mashed the trees in their second runs, while the r. jerries made but fine.
Although beaten, the sophomores
uight hard from start to finish and
owed improvement over their play-
gain against the freshman nine.
The junior lineup: Capt. J. Brow-
tcher; DQ. Warfield, pitcher; R. Enccot,
first base; N. Leibengood,
conduse base; D. Tucker, third base;
Dole, first shortstop; and F. Daum,
town catcher; I. Nelson and Cap-

Martin, pitcher; G. Drake and J. contague, first base; M. Hostetter, second base; M. Melville, third base; I. Castle, first shortstop; J. Monigue and G. Drake, second shortstop; and C. Martin and I. Nelson, left field.
Manager W. O. Hamilton called up each Z. G. Clevenger of Aggregatevie dayafter afternoon and told him that the Kansas team would be entered in the Missouri Valley Conference test, instead of splitting the team for the western Intercollegiate Tournament at Chicago, Captain Elvin Cowill and Kenneth Uhls will represent cannas in the tournament.
It was also announced by Manager Hamilton yesterday afternoon that we Jayhawker track train would be entered in the Missouri Valley Conference track meet at Ames Saturday. 'he Jayhawker track train who will be entered in the meet are Captain Rodey, Sproull, Grutzmacher, Rice, and Legger. Haddock will make the trip out will not be entered in the meet.
From reports from Columbia, Mo., it seems that there is still considerable post mortem dope on the Tiger line, although the main topic in the bittary conversation is why the final game was lost. Our explanation o this question would be that Kansas had as good if not a better team than the Tigers and that the Tiger ucked failure in the last game.

"Barring the fortunes of war which literally figure in sport prospects from now on, there will be six Tigers back on the baseball team next year. Unless Missourians are busy tossing hand grendresses somewhere in France next year, Shusler, Morris and Morgan have had their allotted gold will be back for one more year, Captain McMillan, Farmer, Owens and Morgan have had their allotted three years of Varsity ball, so they are out of the running for next year's team. Rutledge has had only one year with the Tigers, but he will be grad-
untated. Stumms is the only sopho more on the team."—Daily Missouriian

The recital of original compositions given by the School of Fine Arts Wednesday afternoon showed a great deal of talent and musical feeling. The selections were rendered sympathetically and with good technique by the composers and other students of the school. The class has had more experience in instrumental work than with the choir. The instrumental pieces showed up better and with a finer finish than did the vocal."
The bright wied music of Lois Libbye's "Splarking and Bright" was especially appealing. The three fantasy pieces by Mary Preeyer were distinguished by their light airy rhythm and they brought aplause.
Clarence R. Messick's "A Twilight Melody" was a tender polongel melody given with great feeling by the composer. Miss Lois Libbye won favorable comment with her "Legend" a sprightly, appealing, piano selection.
Among the vocal numbers, "In the Harbor," by Bonnie Lawellen and "Tomorrow" by Viola Jones were disjointed because their sweet appaling melodies.

The other one collects grape-fruits. But this latter man doesn't want the remaining. But the latter does not, unless he either pours it on your shoulder or leaves it in the plate. But they get you after all. The other waiter by this time is taking up plates. He spills the rest of the juice on your shoulder. Or in your lap. Doesn't make much difference.

ADVERTISING IS MEANS OF BUSINESS SUCCESS
F. L. Hillman Tells Journalists How Publicity Work is Directed in Kansas 'City
HONESTY IS REAL POLICY
Day of Deception is Past and Faith is Now Placed in Store News
How the advertising department o a great department store mobilizes its 1700 workers to strengthen weaknesses in the lines of sales departments, captures trenches from the rival stores, and gets recruits from the buying public was told by a real general in advertising last night, when he met with the owner of Jones Store of Kansas City, talked to the journalism students.
Mr. Hillman was brought up in i. Kansas and ran newspapers in several Kansas cities. He entered advertising a few years ago and has been advertising manager of the Jones Store three years. Mr. Hillman is awake to the problems of advertising and the modern ways of getting the best returns from the advertising used.
ALWAYS EFFECTIVE
"Advertising should be used in good times as well as bad times," said Mr. Hillman. "When there is a great amount of money being spent, then is the time to do the most advertising or your competitor will get your share of trade. Most retail stores spend from two to five per cent of their gross returns on advertising, the most of which is spent in newspapers.
HOW ORGANIZED
"We must study the class of people to which different newspapers circulate and give the kind of advertising to the papers that attracts that class of readers. We use a great number of cuts to illustrate the descriptions, for many people are not of the intellectual disposition to read copy. All illustrations used by our company are drawn from the article advertised.
TWO MORE MUSIC RECITALS
"The advertising department of a large retail store is organized with a manager at the head and a number of copy writers and artists under him. Different articles to be advertised are assigned to the copy writers and they go to the sales manager of these departments and find out the special points on the goods and then they examine the articles and bring them up to the advertising department. Here cuts are made of them. The manager of the sales departments and is able to find out from them which departments are falling behind and need more advertis-

"Advertising, however, is of very little value unless the merchandise behind it is up to the standard and sells for the right prices. The day of deceptive advertising is past. There is excellent opportunity for a trained University graduate in this field. The profession is comparatively new and great advances are being made in the line of publicity."

VARIETY TO MUSEUM ZOO
Several more pets have been added to Mr. Bunker's collection in the basement of the Museum. H. T. Martin, who recently went to Florida, sent him a Gopher Tortoise, which is his favorite pet. He is a foot long and seven inches across. It lives in a locality which is not for human endurance; but as it stays in its burrow the greater part of the day it does not mind the heat. When it is it soon leans to know its keeper and will eat from his hand without fear.
Two "Horned Toads" have also been sent to Mr. Bunker from Arizona. There is no difference between the horned toad and the lizard which inhabits the dry climates.

Members of the Kansan Board stood around with mysterious bundles and passed a sheet of paper to each passerbly with an injunction not to laugh and disturb the solemnity of the celebration that buried deep in the diminutive Kansan while the readers groped their way up the aisle 'riving to find a seat by instinct.'
The director of ceremonies rapped for attention. The commotion continued unabated. After many pleas that the other speakers be given a chance to open and vast streams of pep up wrath were poured forth upon the heads of the offending profs. But sometimes the orations did not tally exactly with the outline of the speeches given beforehand to the reporter, who was then angry of anger and wrath rose from the gathered mob.
Believing strongly in the old adage that several heads are worse than one, the Kanas Board in convention assembled decided to make their appeal to the University by the avenue most frequented by them. Thursday morning the assignments were given out and the stories written. Thursday afternoon the copy was read, heads written and layout prepared. Thus Thursday the students' staff stayed on the job till midnight preparing the forms for the press. The department of journalism did it all in one day, and the members are wondering how long it took the other speakers to prepare their orations.

University Has Made Special Arrangements to Accommodate Out of Town Men
Students can register for military duty in the business office in Fraser Hall Thursday, Friday and Saturday of next week. This special arrangement was made by the University authorities to accommodate the students who will remain for commencement and summer school.
All men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one who have not enlisted in the federal forces or in the National Guard must register. All doubt concerning the status of National Guardmen was removed following the statement of Gen. E. H. Crowder, provost of the general guard of the National Guard will not have to register because the guard has been ordered to mobilize which makes them practically in the federal service.
Because an individual must register does not mean that he will be taken into the army. Many exemptions will be granted after the registering but not before. Every person claiming to be exempt from the draft should specify the grounds for his claim and state in writing a person claims exemption from the draft, if by no means follows that he is exempt.
Some persons will be exempted on account of their occupations or offices, some on account of the fact that they have relatives dependent upon them for support. If one claims to be a member of a religious creed which forbids its members to participate in activities of its ability, or if one claims exemption on any other grounds it should be stated briefly on the registration card.
No one may obtain a registration card and fill it out himself, only a registrar can fill a card. Every person registering is asked to write his birthday (month, day, and year) on a piece of paper before going to the registrar, and give the paper to him the first thing. Concerning the question of trade, occupation, or office one must not answer what he expects to do, nor what he has done, but what his job is right now. If he has a "farmer," "laborer," "husband" he should state that fact directly.
Anyone having had military experience have given complete information concerning it. Those who claim to have others dependent upon them are asked to consider their answer thoughtfully. In cases where there is another person dependent on a man of military age, the government does not wish him to let his military arder interfere with the wish of the Nation to reduce war's misery to a minimum.
CHEM. COMMITTEE MEETS
State Council of Defense Plan to Co-operate With Naval Consulting Board of Kansas
There will be a meeting of the committee on chemical products, a sub-committee of the State Council of Defense, here, Saturday. The possibilities of chemical co-operation with the Kansas organization of the Army Corps of Cadets have beencussed. The committee will take lunch at the University Club.
The committee is made up of: Doctor Dains, chairman, R. B. Dunlevy, of Southwestern College, D. L. Randall, of Baker University, F. L. DeBkehucer, of Washburn College, Armour's Packing Co., and Doctor Gray, prominent oil refiner, of El dorado.
AMBULANCE CORPS POPULAR
Recruiting Officer Reports That University Men Are Answering Call Better. Then Was Expected
"Recruits for the ambulance corps are answering the call in greater numbers than we expected," C. L. Thomas, recruiting officer, said this morning, "Physical examinations are being given now. Practically all men who have come for information have been admitted to a medical examination. Examinations will be finished tomorrow and the names of the volunteers announced."
The recruiting office for the ambulance corps unit will be open all next week. An effort is being made to fill the ranks with University men. Men from Otawa and Baker University have enlisted. Agricultural College have enlisted.
The unit will be commanded by Capt. E. R. Tenney, a practicing physician from Kansas City, Kansas. Dr Richard Speck, also of Kansas City, will lead the company will be sent to Leavenworth for three months' training.
Attend the Summer Session.
SUBMARINES INTERRUPT
NEXT CARPETS VACATION
"Aunt Carrie" Watson is intending to remain with the University through both sessions of the Summer School. The last two summers she has been spending her vacation along the New England coast.
"I don't believe that I care to be along the coast this summer," she said. "Last summer the U-boats were sailing along the coast, but all came then; they had their gums muzzled. They won't buckle this year."
Plain Tales from the Hill
Wouldn't it be awful to have your mouth all watered up to graduate and have that cap and gown and have the folks at home thinking you are a whiz
The Peewe took all our dope for the day. That's the reason this kolum is short.
And then—find that you couldn't graduate because you lacked gym credit. Is the case of one senior woman. She hasn't her swimming credit yet and so a diploma is forbidden for her. She has visions of splashing back and forth in the pool this summer learning how to swim.
The Sigma Nus are either big bullies or big brothers. Last evening after dinner they had all the kids in the neighborhood on their lawn playing baseball. The Sig Nus were standing the kids. The kids were winning when we passed. So I guess it is a big brother stunt.
The latest outdoor sport at K. U. is chasing butterflies. And when it comes to chasing butterflies, John Alexander Montgomery is a knight of the blue veil. To the veil is attached a hoo and to the hoop a rod, and with this contrivance he goes forth to capture butterflies. Society butterflies? Naw: Baseball butterflies? Mebbe! But it is a fact that John A. has been giving the baseball girls such nice write-ups in the last two weeks that he is really getting to the habit.
Little Brick Chandler is a studious youth, even if he is president of the College. He even has his own particular chair in the library. Yesterday a freshman entered the library and usurped the sacred seat.
"Pardon me," quoth Brick, "but you have my chair."
Chancellors of Universities are just like other men. They like to have the housecleaning done when they aren't around. The Chancellor of our University is spending a week making commencement addresses to high schools. And the housekeepers of our University are seizing the office, putting the office completely upside down. Everything is out in the hall where it isn't supposed to be and students are stumbling over waste baskets, pictures, chairs, and tables, just as they do when mother cleans house at home.
When in Greece, talk like a Greek. Better. One Alemania, who strange to say isn't majoring in German, failed to talk like an English prof when she was talking to an English prof. He wilted and sneered at her. This Ale—is intending to major in mathematics. She was in talking to the head of the math department. Professor Dunlan stepped in.
"What is your.major," he asked.
"Math?" she said.
"My goodness, child, just to think about that major makes me weak in the knees," responded the kink of the Eng. Dept.
Uumm. Yo-ho, Skimny. Watermelon. Run like everything. (This is all said in an apologetic manner to Mr. Briggs who first said this little
But we have to tell you, we saw a sign on one of the On-the-Hill cafes yesterday that said something about watermelon.
Company M Closes Office
The recruiting office of Company M at the trophy room in Robinson Gymnasium will close Saturday evening, and the room will be turned over to Ambulance Company No. 2, Kansas National Guardes. Company M is not yet up to peace strength, but will close the recruiting office because enlistments are coming in so slowly that, in the opinion of Captain Jones, it no longer pays to keep the recruiting detail on duty.
Notice
The invitations may be had after Convocation Friday morning and from 2:30 till 5:00 Friday afternoon, or call Walter Kirsten B452W or H452.
All students who ordered commencement invitations are requested to call for them or make arrangements for their delivery before Friday evening, May 25. All invitations are arranged for by that time will be sold.
Regular classes in voluntary drill will be held as usual at four-thirty o'clock tomorrow.
WANT UNITY BETWEEN FACULTY AND STUDENTS
School Representatives Registered Kicks Against Ills of University
CHARLES SLOAN ABSENT
Law Orator Eulogized Loyal Work of Uncle Jimmie Green
If the students patronized other convocations as well as the professors attended the Student Day talks today, the audiences would be literally behind the speakers. It would all be on the platform.
DOCTORS WANT MORE ROOM
Co-operation between the faculty and students for the better K. U. of the future was the main point brought out in each of the talks. The School of Medicine, the College, the School of Law, the School of Pharmacy, and the Graduate School were represented by speakers. The department of journalism had a silent representative, "The Pewee Kansam."
Walter Priest was the speaker of the School of Medicine. Three basement rooms in Dyce Museum was the only kick registered by this representative. He emphasized the great need of doctors, and the well trained one, in the present war, urging that department to continue his study until he could oler himself as of real value in the Medical Corps.
The College speaker, Cecile Burton, rebuffed the prediction of the Peewee Kansan. No sobs and tears about her talk—just a few good ideas no one else had even thought of. Lack of support on the part of the alumni of the University was one of Miss Burton's complaints of K. F. She laughed and smiled, but I couldn't be behind her in the matter of abolishing senior exams. The present tendency to cut down commencement plans doesn't take into consideration the fact that this is the only time this class will ever graduate.
EFFICIENCY CRITICIZED
The efficiency of the University was illustrated by Miss Burton. A bronze statue symbolic of the early Kansan, a man of the soil, which every Museum visitor had noticed standing on the second floor at the head of the stairs, was a gift to the University, and has been waiting just seven years to be put in its place on the Campus.
Doc Burch, of the School of Law,
culigored Dean Green of the School of
Law. He said, "If the legislature
should take the liberty to depose Dean
Green from the head of the School of
Law, every student in that school
would quit their classes, and alumni
over this and several states would
send in such a flood of protests that
he would have to be reinstated or
the School of Law at the University of
Kansas done away with."
Weslie Chiles, representative of the School of Pharmacy, informed his sense of the school's high rank among similar schools in the United States.
The Pharmacy equipment is good," said Chiles, "and proof of this is that it has been in use since he made medicine others take it. Incident, we started the naughty rally, the Laws took the punishment."
Scharles Sloan, for the School of Ecclesiastical School filled out of town and did not amass.
Charles Sufield told of the University faults from the viewpoint of the Graduate School.
BANKERS SHOW PATRIOTISM
Prof. Boynton Says Kanaas Association Emphasized Necessity of
Supporting Liberty Loan
A. J. Boynton, professor of economics in the University, attended the State Bankers' Convention in Topeka yesterday.
He reports that the bankers displayed an unusual amount of enthusiasm and their patriotism was unfurlied when the various speakers emphasized the necessity of the bankers getting under and shouldering the burden of the work. Boynton said he was especially impressed with P. W. Goebel's speech.
Mr. Goebel, who is of German birth and president of the American Bankers' Association, urged the loyalty of bankers in Iraq in investing it was especially urgent at this particular time, since heretofore we have always had the financial support of European financiers. Now we are deprived of such aid and furthermore we have already paid off our debts on loans to the belligerent countries.
Dr. H. J. Waters, president of the Dr.
H. J. Waters, also one of the principal speakers.

SOBERED STUDENT BODY
It was a sobered student body and a sobered lot of speakers who took part in the Student Day program this morning. All—or nearly all—of the old spirit of bombast and ridicule was gone; and the greater part of what was said was definitely constructive. The "bitterness" of which one speaker complained was largely absent.
There was very little of such talk. Most of the speeches were sane, sensible, and conservative. The speakers discussed real problems in a thoughtful manner; and the loyal member of the University family who heard the criticisms went away feeling that, no matter what happens in the future he has his "bit" to do for his University as well as for his country.
Probably there were a great many who were disappointed in the exercises. Some had expected, as they had a right to do from the precedents of former years, that the speeches would be crammed full of elaborate "slams," bitter personal attacks, and overdrawn criticism of the faculty.
Some students are remaining in school until after the quiz and expect to raise the doubtful standing. A few quit before the quiz. Which were you?
ABOUT COMMENCEMENT
The end of the year is now close at hand. University work has perhaps become more completely demoralized than ever before, with the withdrawal of so many students and the departure of several faculty members. No one knows what effect the war will have upon the enrollment or the work of next year, and the University may have to put forth its best efforts to maintain its normal existence.
With this in mind no senior or graduate student should think of missing commencement, and every undergraduate who finds it possible should attend. In other words, the University should make as good a showing as possible at the close of the year, and every student who has studied here and expects a degree should remain loyal enough to the institution that gives it to stay for commencement.
Also, it ought to be said in favor of the telephone girls that, no matter what their shortcomings are, they hardly ever tell us what they think of us.
WHEN VISITORS COMF
That's what a high school grit said who spent a week-end with a University students. And it didn't take
"I almost believe I'd rather come here to school than anywhere else."
very much time or effort to give her that favorable impression—a visit to the Museum, from the basement to the tower, the gym, and a dip in the pool, the Fine Arts' work in the third floor of Administration, the library, a picnic on the golf links, and detailed inspection of the "K" book.
It itt did take very much effort and yet itt meant one more student for the University and a good report to the people of her town.
It may cost more to live in these stirring times, but it is worth more.
Before this country's active entrance into the war, some of our greatest problems included relief work in the stricken countries, especially Belgium. Contribution campaigns have been carried on in practically every town and city in the country and the amount of good done is inestimable.
Now that we are busily engaged in preparing our great armies for the conflict, we are apt to forget, or at least to overlook, our duties. But even then the need in Belgium for food and other supplies is as great as ever; indeed, it is even more pressing.
The Literary Digest has taken the lead in the raising of money for the Belgian Children's Fund, and the results they have made are gratifying. Their efforts emphasize the growing need for relief and urge the people of this country not to drop their task now.
The American colleges have faith fully done their "bit" in this line. Thousands of dollars have been sent from our schools to the stricken country. K. U. has not been behind in the movement, but that is not all. She must continue the work. She must adjust herself to the prevailing conditions and at the close of the war be justly proud to receive the heartfelt thanks of the Belgian people.
Then there is the sweet young thing who smiles helplessly and wishes there were elevators in Fraser Hall.
BOOST FOR K. U.
Not all of the hundreds of young people who will soon be graduated from the high schools out over the state will be enlisting, and now is the time of year when they will be deciding where they will take their college work next year.
Kansas offers much but it is up to the students of this institution to tell these young people about the University. Tuition is low; its faculty is one of the best; the student life is democratic; because of its reputation it is able to furnish a certain prestige for its graduates.
Boost for K. U.
Even the man who drives an automobile should use horse sense.
OTHER OPINIONS
Blessed is the student who can "stay at it" till the end of the semester without allowing his grades to slump. For this is the most trying period of the student's life—the time of the year when his thoughts are so strongly attracted to springtime memories—the warbling thrush, the sweet-scented plum blossoms, the stretch of green meadows, the old swimming hole, the perch-laden brook, or the lassie with the blue bonnet; so that he cannot possibly turn his mind to a serious study of the Bessemer steel process, the pragmatism of William James, the law of probability, or modern tendencies in state executive organization.
When the rapture of spring grips a student he is bound to heed her call. He drops His books and papers, for he is convinced there are other things much more important than passing examinations. Usually he leans back in his chair and snoozes. Sometimes he gets his tennis racket and departs. He tries to study, but his head buzzes and swims. The most excruciating agony that—ho, hum! Continued later.

ROUTINE
Why do men and women chafe at the routine of daily life? All admit that following a schedule in one's work makes for efficiency and in the long run leaves more time for recreation than the hit-or-miss methods
M. L.
But when it comes to working in any regular manner, nine out of ten
In college, however, there is more opportunity than in most other fields to wander aimlessly through a day. No time clocks hold one to study hours. If one goes to class according to schedule fifteen or eighteen hours a week, he is left to his own devices the remainder of his time.
This is no more true in college than elsewhere. Men of all classes prefer to use their own pleasure in arranging their work.
With the opening of spring and the nearing of commencement come the student political campaigners. Already caucuses are being held and prospective candidates discussed. Since the passage of The Orange and Black and Redskin bills by the Student Senate more student offices are to be filled by student vote than previously. Students in both groups of the student voter for a correct and well calculated ballot is doubly increased.
Probably the reason for our dread of routine is our unfamiliarity with it. The idea of tying ourselves down to a schedule is the most of us before we give it a test.
STUDENT POLITICS
"If we can learn to think of routine as the best economy, we shall not despise it," says Dean Briggs of Harvard, in his essay on "Routine and Practice." We should and so it is if we do not understand it; but if we understand that through it we can do more work in less time, and have more time left for the expansion of our souls, that through it we cultivate the habit which makes us know we can be considered or shall cease to say hard counts of it." —Ex.

Senate. The responsibility of the Senator is increasing, and with that increase comes the heavier obligation which the student voter is under to consider his ballot more thoroughly before casting. Orange and Black, and Republican measures, discipline itself is under the direction of the student body. The responsibility for the success of student activities next year rests upon student shoulders, and for this responsibility to be faithfully met, some good, hard, unbiased, unprejudiced thinking is necessary. Candidates must have a strong commitment to abilities in view, and only those who can be implicitly trusted supported.

WANT ADS
It is the business of every student to keep his eyes open, to look out for good candidates, thoroughly investigate their characters and views on vital issues, and then support them. It is important that a student of a officer officer need not be delinquent. Each voters knows by experience the kind of character that can be trusted to stand and work for the best interests of the students as a whole, and which is fitted both mentally and morally for the prospective office.
Each year arises the "so-called popular student," who is an ambition for honor, gets himself nominated, and many times elected, to office, and later shows his supporters, by lack of support. All these lads were lost. The candidate with nothing back of him except a little popularity gained by accident or because of a well-filled pile and plenty of generosity, is far from being the ideal man in the Senate, or, for that matter, in any student office. Each day he learns that he has a clean record of things accomplished for the students and College, and a determination to do something. When he comes up to this standard he then deserves whole-hearted support and faithful backing. Politics would be ideal, though probably not so, as he was supported conscientiously and came up to the expectations of the majority—Oklahoma Orange and Black.

BY THE WAY—
The Profs
(With apologies to Longfellow.)
As a rough father, when the play is o'er,
Shoves by the collar to the barn his son,
Half crying, half contriving how to
And leave his angry father there to road—
Still fearing what's behind that open door,
And full of ire and much discom-fitted
By visions of the whipping just ahead,
Which, though not long, will surely bruise him sore—
So do the profs treat us, and they destroy
Our poor hopes one by one, and by command,
Lead us so roughly to our doom, we go
Scarce knowing what has happened to our joy,
Too dazed and angry now to understand
How much worse the unknown is than what we know.
Mina Upton, c'17.

COLLEGES IN WAR
KNOWING RUSSIA
The Russian revolution, followed by our entry into the war as their ally, has greatly quickened the interest of Americans in the people of Russia. For a number of years, however, Russian books, plays, music and dancing have been taught in country; and through acquaintance with them, we have been gaining a degree of appreciation for this strange land of enormous commercial and artistic possibilities. This movement toward understanding Russia will not only enrich us in many ways, but it will lead to development of the principles of internationalism—one of the principles for which America is fighting.
To encourage the movement and to satisfy the demands of people who want to study Russia more than they have ever done, we very much worth while to establish some regular courses "on the hill" for the study of Russia's language and literature, her political and religious institutions and social cus-
In England the enthusiasm for "our gallant ally" is so great that many people have taken up the study of the Russian language. It is a difficult language, testing even Johnnie Bull's perseverance, but it is the only way to know the people thoroughly. No doubt a capable instructor in the language could be found among the native Russians in school. There can be no question of the value of such instruction—Wisconsin Cardinal.
QUESTIONS OF PUBLIC DUTY
The action of the group of noted educators in petitioning for national prohibition as a measure for increasing national efficiency raises several interesting questions of public duty. It is true that prohibition is only one of a large number of war measures established by our nation now with a view of making this country fit and trained to undertake and finish an important altho highly disagreeable task. But prohibition best represents the changed nature of their duties toward their duties to the state. It was a fact granted by all reasoning men that prohibition was desirable, yet the same men who now urge it
held themselves aloof from the movement. While their motives in doing this can be explained they can hardly be justified. If prohibition will prevent national waste and increase deforestation, they will certainly do as much for it in times of peace. Yet why has the whole movement heretofore been left largely to women's organizations and anti-saloon leagues? Why have the women appointed men tolerated the thing they now declare a national crime?
The answers to these questions are many; the important fact to be noted, however, is the awakening of the public conscience in times of national crisis. It is one spirit of service in the minds of the educated class of American men and women to such a degree that it will not be forgotten again when peace returns, then it will do something at least to mitigate its waste—Minnesota Daily.
PLAY THE GAME
While the University classes are daily growing smaller under the exodus of University boys at the call of country, we are still met at every turn by that hoary-wheaked platiude that "University men are not taking this war seriously enough" No, oh, no, of course not! A tear-bespattered face, and a black-bordered handkerchief are the only true signs as well as proofs of a serious purpose in life!
Yet in this time of mental hystories, when the shallowest "catch words" are allowed to pass for truths eternal and never-changing, let it not be said of us, the University men and women of America, that we have been teaching the sportsmanship! When Germans are singing hymns of hate, and the English Tommies are putting the spirit of English sportsmanship into this inexplicable war game, let it not be said that American university students forge joy and fortune and do with a smile. We have in us yet some of that "school-boy" spirit of loyalty, which the English poet has caught in these verses:
"The sand on the desert is sodden red.
Red with the wreck of a square that broke;
that broke;
The gatling's jammed, and the colonel dead,
And the regiment blind with dust and smoke;
The river of death has brimmed its banks,
And England's far, and Honour a name.
But the voice of the schoolboy rallies the ranks:
"Play up! play up! and play the game!"
MUSICIANS GET OUT REPORT
Let not any feminine emotionalism or childish whining spoil it for us! Inspiring and heroic words are these, with a tonic force for all and the sting of open shame for the quitter. Play the game! The University and the country have little use for the quitter. Play the game, and do it without hate, without malice, with no ostentatious sorrow, with a calm and sportsmanlike acceptance of your duty—Minnesota Daily.

Orders for a war strength company have just been received by Ambulance Company No. 2 with headquarters at Kansas City, Kansas. Accordingly, the company will consist of 150 men, equipped with motor ambulances.
Serve Your Country and Humanity!
Certain service has been promised at an early date, and this service will be one that is purely helpful and not destructive. It is a service that calls for an uncommon type of nerve to overcome the features of character. This reason, it naturally makes a stronger appeal to college men than any other class of people.
The company now numbers about 100 men, being made up of the best material possible in Kansas City. More than half of this number are graduates of high schools or representatives from universities, — a number of men from Manhattan Ottawa and K. U. are already enlisted!
The service of the Ambulance company is in conjunction with a field hospital company, performing the duties of giving aid and removing the wounded to the field or base hospitals.

BASEBALL TITLE WON BY FRESHMEN WOMEN
Nose Out Juniors in Five-Inning Game Yesterday by a Score of 17 to 15.
JUNIORS GET HOME RUN
Sophs and Seniors Play Las Game of Season With Depleted Teams
The woman's championship baseball was played off yesterday afternoon on the women's athletic grounds between the strong junior nine and the stronger freshman nine. The latter team nosed out in a five inning victory over the stronger being 17 to 15 in favor of the freshmen and the juniors won from the sophomore nine, and the sophomore nine won from the senior team so that the freshmen who won from the juniors are really the women baseball champions of the University. The game was close and exciting to start to finish with the juniors in string distance of the lead from the first.
The reason, which the juniors advance for losing the game, is that they did not have their full nine in the game and had to fill three of the positions with senior players. The freshman nine was intact and did not have to fill any of the posi- tions with players from the other teams.
SENIORS SUB FOR JUNIORS
Ruth Endacott, junior first baseman and the best all-round woman athlete in school, again featured for her team by smashing out the only home run of the game. The juniors made one double play in the second inning and took a first short stop for the juniors caught a fly ball and threw it to Ruth Endacott at first putting out a freshman runner who could not beat the ball back. The freshmen also made a double play in the third inning when Bender, first short stop caught a fly ball, and threw it to Ruth Endacott on a catching a junior runner who could not get back in time.
FOURTH PLACE TO SENIORS
The sophomores played a much better game than against the freshmen and juniors and piled up a seven point lead on the seniors in a five inning game. No home runs were scored by any player, but the feature play of the game was a double by the seniors in the third inning when Miriam Jones, pitcher, caught an infield fly and put out a sophomore runner by throwing the ball to Rebekah Cooper, third base man. The sophomores took the lead at the end of the game, but the end of the game. There were but six players on each team.
the sophomore lineup was: M. Brown, c; Capt. C. Martin, p; A. Nelson, 1b; M. Melville, 3b; M. Hoster, 2t; and I. Nelson, If. The senior lineup was: E. Drake, c; M. Jones, p; C. Shinn, 1b; H. Rhlandt, 2b; R. Cooper, 3b; and Capt. L. Martin, If.
The freshman lineup was: M. Gear, C; L. Miller, p; Capt. R.T. 1b, L. Carder, 2b; J. Coffin, 3b; H. Bender, f;s; L. Pearson, 2s; E. Watt, if; and E. Macry, fs. The junior lineup was cap, Cast J, Brown, c. D. Querfeld, p; R. Endacott, 1b; N. Leibengood, 2b; F. Daum, 3b; M. Jones, 1s; D. Cole, 2s; M. Joseph, if; and C. Shinn, fr.
SPORT BEAMS
The senior women baseball players do not feel satisfied with their defeat at the hands of the sophomores yesterday afternoon so they have scheduled another game with the sophomores for today. The game will be played on the women's athletic grounds.
One of the favorable features of
the women's baseball, series lately has been the umpiring of Fat Nelson, last season's captain of the Jawhawk basketball quintet. The women players commented favorably upon speed and accuracy of Fat's design.
PLAY PRACTICE TENNIS GAME
The last events in men's athletics this semester will be the Missouri Valley Conference track meet at Ames, Iowa, today and tomorrow and the Missouri Valley Conference tennis tournament at Manhattan tomorrow and Saturday. Kansasood football will take over the tennis championship this year, but will probably not get over twenty points in the valley track meet, because only five Jayhawk track men will be entered.
Missouri and Kansas Champion Hold Work Out for Valley Tournament at Manhattan
Walter J. Newell, tennis shark from the University of Missouri, was on the Hill for a few hours yesterday and sent the little white balls a-spimping over the McCook Field courts during the afternoon. Newell won the Tennis Tournament, to be held at Manhattan today and Saturday.
No official score was kept of the exhibition games played by the Kansas and Missouri tennis stars, but oye-witnesses affirm that "the whirlwind set a verdict verily skim the net and scoot along with exceedingly great regularly."
Mr. Newell left last night at 7:14 for Manhattan in company with Capt. Elyvn S. Cowill and Kenneth B. Uhls, who will represent K. U. in the meet. Newell's team-mate, Warner, instructed Newell to three schools are entered in the Valley meet: Kansas, Missouri, and the Kansas Aggies.

EFFORTS TO BE MADE TO MUSTER BATTERY B
Lawrence Unit Which Failed for Want of Men to Have Second Trial
Battery B will make another effort to be mustered into the service as a unit of the Kansas National Guard, June 4, at the Chamber of Commerce hall. The organization failed to pass muster at Robinson Gymnassium May 22, because thirty-eight of its members failed to appear.
The battery now has 142 men on its roils and an extra effort will be made to get enough men out for muster to enable the battery to be accustomed as an organization. The number of men required for muster is 126.
About twenty men from the University and about an equal number from Haskell Institute are members of the new unit. The other members are from Lawrence and adjacent territory.
The recruiting detail is composed of J. S. Amick, Ralph Spots, Louis Fink and Bill Winey. Fink less Lawrence yesterday morning for Ottawa where he will try to secure enlistments for the organization.
Those interested in the new organization are uncertain as to what steps will be taken in case the organization is disbanded, so there is information that no volunteers will be accepted after June 5. Organizations already mustered in will, according to information from the War Department, be filled by draft, but it is doubtful whether they will be involved in organizations not yet accepted.

The question mark of May 27 now is explained. It is the first meeting of the Student League, which recently was organized by the University members of the Epworth League of students. The next meeting of the league is to hold meetings for students every Sunday night next winter at Myers Hall.
Although the Student League was organized by the Methodist Church, it is open to any one. They intend to make the meetings informal and get speakers interested in student problems. Dr. H. L. Chambers and several other students will talk at the meeting next Sunday.
So the khaki-clad seniors at Fort Riley must attend on their regular weekly furulthe, the 1917 K. U. grads-to-be have planned a Senior Recruitment bination reception and dance, to be given in Robinson Gymnasium Saturday evening, June 2. The reception begins at eight o'clock and the dance at nine. All the seniors and their friends will sit outside alumun and their friends
As a memorial to David H. Robinson, professor of Latin in the University for twenty-nine years, a bronze portrait tablet, suitably inscribed, held at the University for university in Fraser Chapel at nine o'clock Tuesday morning, June 5. The memorial is given by former students of Professor Robinson and is to be placed on the north wall of Fraser Chapel, opposite the Allford Me
"Dates will not be necessary," said Chairman Gardner. "So many of the men have gone to war, and we don't want a single fair senior or alumna to stay away on that account. And if in the dance there are not enough men with experience, training will be strictly proper along with the conventional mode.
'17 GATHERS TO DANCE AND EXCHANGE ADIEUS
J. C. Ruppenthal, '95, of Russell,
Kas., president of the Alumni Association,
will preside. Prof. M. W.
W Sterling, '83, will make the presentation
speech; Chancellor '83 strong will
make the presentation '81,
'81, and Miss Kate Stephens, '75, will speak of Doctor Robinson as teacher and friend.
"No pains are being spared to make this a fitting farewell one that will be long remembered by all K. U." said Jess Gardner, chairman of the committee on arrangements. "Plans were started only a few days ago, and we expect to be well-appropriated. The party will be financed from senior class funds, and will be strictly complimentary."
The University of Kansas is at war. Five hundred of her men students have left for service. Hundreds more will go when the draft bill is put into operation.
"And above all, we want the guests to come a little before eight o'clock, so they don't get overly tired."
A CALL TO ARMS!
This means that there will be very, very few upperclassmen in school next year. What men students are able to attend will be the few juniors and seniors who are under the age limit required by the draft law, and the sophomores and freshmen who are generally too young to be called.
PRESENT ROBINSON TABLET
TO COLLEGE ON ALUMN DAY
The life of the University depends, in a sense, upon the size of the enrollment next fall.
K. U. next year must have a larger enrollment of freshmen men than she has ever had before if the efficiency of the institution is to be maintained, and full use of the educational facilities we have is to be made.
Farewell Reception of the Year Will Be In Robinson Saturday
There is only one place from which the desired students can be obtained. They must be recruited from the Kansas high schools.
Men and women now in the University must be the recruiting officers. It is up to them to fight the battle.
When you go home at the close of the present school year, do the following things:
1. See every high school graduate from your home town, talk with him, learn what he intends doing next year; and spend every effort to persuade him to come to K. U.
2—Talk K. U. from start to finish. Show prospective students pictures of the campus. Give them a "personally conducted" tour through your Jayhawker. Tell them of the educational advantages the University has to offer. Explain to them the thousand and one reasons why K. U. is the ONLY school.
This is the call to arms.
3—Impress upon the wavering prospect the importance of being a college graduate after the world war. Show him that the future business men, professional men, and technically trained executives of this country must come from the universities.
4—Clinch the argument by seeing that he gets a University catalogue, that he begins to wonder about which courses to take, and that HE LAYS PLANS TO COME TO LAWRENCE NEXT SEPTEMBER.
It's your job, men and women of the University. The work you can do among your high school friends is the one thing that can boost the University's enrollment to the point it must reach.
GET INTO THE FIGHT!
GRADES SENT EARLY TO STUDENTS LEAVING CARDS
Students who wish to receive their grades early may get them as soon as they are turned in by the instructors, according to information given out at the registrar's office yesterday. There has always been a demand for grades before all have been posted and official notice given to the students. To meet this demand cards have been printed and are at the registrar's office for students to grades early to those students who request it. These cards must be applied for before students leave school.
Plain Tales from the Hill
Fred C. Preble is one of the lucky ones of school. His quizzes were over this morning. Tonight he is home in the kitchen enjoying mat's good home cooking.
Boning for quizzes has been the popular indoor sport this week. Last night at several houses other kinds of bonings were held. These latter items are usually known as a rolling gathers gathers no low-cur; it must stop before fate decides.
The "S koleletse" is the latest popu-
lation dance danced by students.
At a music festival.
In one of the buildings on the campus a skeleton hangs from the wall by a nail in its head. Otherwise it is all whole and entire. Students were working in that building the other night. Time began to hang heavy as time often does. A dance was arranged. They danced with the skeleton. Every one took the skeleton around the floor once.
Yerp, the *Skeletuse* is liable to be one of our most popular dances.
Aren't robbers the most perspicuous persons? Cecil Ritter was reviewing for a history quiz yesterday. He left his raincoat in the coatroom at Spooner's. Now Ritter didn't bug more than ten minutes when but he came back his coat was gone. Swiped. Stolen. Cecil is of the opinion that, he's not very clever. He hasn't a very long reach, he can lick the bird that took his coat and give him six and one-half cents change. He opines this, you notice.
Now this is the last little bit we are going to add to it in this kobo. So we are saving it in this book.
We are sorry—exceedingly so—that all those of whom we have talked about didn't quite get the drift of the gag; sometimes we didn't ourselves. But other folks think they were good. So we have to run them.
Then we are sorry—exceedingly so—that we haven't found some things that should have been written about. Our eye has not been sharp enough to catch all the doings on the Hill. Your roomie may say something cute. How can you tell us? Tell us. How can we be expected to write something nice about roomie?
Again we are sorry—exceedingly so—that so many of our nice boys had to leave for Fort Riley and the farm without finishing the school year. They did so, however, with our friends and we are for them whether they are or the farmers in the barracks or digging ditches in France.
And we are sorry—exceedingly so—that we didn't beat Missouri in football and baseball and basketball and track.
But—
We are glad—very much so—that Woodie Wilson did what he did in the way he did even if it did take some of our kids.
Then we are glad—much so much—that the Aggies won the basketball championship instead of some out of home games. The Kansas money in Kansas," you know.
Again we are glad—very much so—that the Sour Owl changed its tacies and put out something worth writing. The cook worker was the good book that it was.
And we are glad—very much so—that most of us will be back next year even if the draft bill does get a few of our men.
But that is enough. Get to study in the will you flunk in that final tomorrow.
University Is Cleared
The University has been cleared of the charges that a member of the University faculty made an antidraft speech in Topeka Sunday afternoon. That a member of the faculty was connected with the meeting has been denied by Chancellor Strong. The speaker in question was George W. Kleihge, a graduate student in the University.
Leaves For Fort Riley
Lieut. Merrill F. D. Faum, of Company m A left yesterday for Fort Riley, where he will assist in surveying and laying out a camp for the army of eight thousand to seventy thousand men till full war there early next fall. Lieut. Daum is a civil engineer, and was graduated from the Engineering School in 1916.

TUESDAY. MAY 29, 1917
"Bow to him who bows not to the fatterer,"—Lavater.
"TILL WE MEET"
To the men of the University there is something altogether pathetic in the good-byes that will soon be said as they lay down their books for the year and go our into a strange land of adventure.
Never before in the history of the present generation has the outlook for a happy reunion seemed so dark and forbidding. A gigantic war-cloud obscures the future and none may know where September may find them. Already has it settled over the young lives of many of our number and the end is not yet.
But, whether it be in a dug-out in Belgium, in a farmyard in France, in a German prison, on a ranch in Texas, on a battle-ship on the broad Atlantic, or back in the sacred halls of our Alma Mater, we know that the reunion will be hearty and friends will meet again in queer places and under strange conditions. Who knows but that a resounding Rock Chalk may not lead a victorious charge over a Vimy Ridge or echo from the palace of Kaiser Bill before the war is over? Who knows but that a second Funston may carry the glory of old K. U. to the four corners of the earth?
Be optimistic and cheerful during these last few days which remain, but do not forget to make that parting hand-clasp one to be remembered. It may be the last, or it may be a solemn pledge of true K. U. brotherhood to be remembered with joy in the misty future.
War is awfully inconvenient. It may interfere with the big league baseball schedules.
THE TASK
Those of us who return to the University next September have a big task before us. It is up to us to do the things that will make Kansas a bigger and better school; it is up to us to institute the many reforms which have been projected as panaceas for the University's ills.
First of all, it is every one's job to get the real K. U. spirit—the spirit of loyalty; of helpfulness, of democracy, of sympathy—the spirit that is almost greater than the institution itself—the one thing that can carry the University triumphantly through the troubled seas ahead.
Secondly, that spirit must be instilled into those alumni who do not have it. Disloyal alumni have done the University more harm than any other single thing, according to one of the speakers at the Student Day exercises last Friday. It is up to us to make our alumni loyal. One way of doing it is to see that every graduate who leaves the institution does so with a great love for K. U. in his heart.
Thirdly, the faculty folks and the students have got to get together.
The old spirit of aloofness, of "better-than-thou," must go. And the students must learn to meet their instructors as fellow human beings, not as tyrants nor as beings unworthy of contempt. Professors and pupils must be friends.
The fourth task is that of putting the permanent income amendment safely past the people into the state constitution. It will require work, self-sacrifice, and ability to think and act. The students and the faculty must be willing to perform the task.
Fifth, we must secure for the University a Commons. That cannot be done in one year. It may not be done in two. But surely, before the freshmen who enter Kansas next fall are graduated, the Commons must become a reality. The Men's Student Council will take steps next fall to eliminate graft from all student activities. The profits from parties, publications, dramatics, and other money-making enterprises could easily be placed in a trust fund to be used in the future in building a Commons. The money now spent by classes in erecting memorials could be used in the same cause. Every cent raised for public purposes on the campus—with the exception of those sums which will be donated to the Red Cross, to the soldier boys, and to relief work—could be placed in the Commons Fund. It's our job to see that such a fund is started, and that it is raised to the amount necessary to build the needed Commons.
Sixth, we have the task of providing a dormitory for University women. With the income amendment in operation, this should be easy, as one of the first uses of the money that could be made would be to erect a Dorm. But it's up to us, just the same!
Seventh, there are a lot of minor matters of equal importance that must be brought to pass. The solution of the freshman cap question must be found—Kansas cannot give up a tradition that has for so many years meant for democracy and for good-fellowship among her first year students. The "campus beautification" plans must be carried to completion; so that we may take full advantage of the University's wonderful site to improve it in every possible manner.
Lastly, our athletics must be maintained, on a better scale, if possible, than ever before. "I would be sincerely sorry" says President Wilson in a recent letter to the New York Post, "to see the men and boys in our colleges and schools give up their athletic sports, and I hope most sincerely that the normal course of college sports will be continued, so far as possible, not only to afford a diversion for the American people in the days to come, when we shall no doubt have our share of mental depression, but as a real contribution to the national defense, for our young men must be made physically fit in order that later they may take the place of those who are of military age and exhibit the vigor and alertness which we are proud to believe to be characteristic of our young men."
The Missouri Valley Conference has decided to continue athletics during the coming school year, and it's our job to see that K. U. gets the cream of the athletes who have this spring graduated from Kansas high schools. Winning teams and big enrollments go hand in hand.
We're going to be mighty busy folks next year. The fellows who have gone off to do the country's fighting have left some pretty big jobs behind. It will require pretty much the same courage to put the permanent income bill across that it does to take a line of trenches. The same sort of perservance will be required to make the Commons and the Women's Dorm a reality as that which will finally win a democratic form of government for Germany.
Honolulu had a foot of rain in one
ay. That ought to help the new crop
f grass skirts immensely.
It is altogether right and proper that we take a few moments at this closing of the year to remember the many kindnesses shown us by the merchants of Lawrence.
The drygoods stores have let us run charge accounts without questioning our financial basis. The banks have given us more time when we have overdrawn our account and had no money to reimburse it and in many cases they have forwarded us funds when we wanted to go to Kansas City for the week-end and the folks did not come across with the usual check.
OUR MERCHANT FRIENDS
And there has been hardly a store that sometime or other has not been called upon to cash a check when we needed money. They have all been mighty good to us and we appreciate it.
And the K. U. folks who don't go to war will try to win just as many battles as those who do!
The merchants believe in us and trust us. "We never lose money on our students," one store says, "Sometimes the checks are turned back because of insufficient funds but a check from home straightens every thing out."
That is a good record, and we should be proud of the confidence they place in us.
By intensive gardening we expect to be able to raise more dandelions this year than ever before.
AT OTHER SCHOOLS
MORE CARE NEEDED
Canoeing has started in strong again on the Iowa river and jolly groups of students and others are enjoying the excellent recreation which this sport affords. For the most part students who spend much time canoeing are aware of the necessity of care of safety, and more of the men and women are well trained in the use of canoes.
However, there are some who seem to have not been educated so that they understand the needs of safety and like to display a sort of recklessness and have a few nights ago, one of the members of the stuff of the Daily Iowan was dancing at a boat house up the river and witnessed an exhibition by some rattle-brained freshmen who seemed to think they were having the time of their life. They were friends in the boat with them and were seeing how much they could rock it, at the same time testing the lung power of their friends. According to the witness of the affair, they were a "miracle" that prevented a disaster.
POET'S CORNER
Students who have been in the University for some time know what carelessness and recklessness has cost students in the University in the past. The Daily Iowan believes that the students may get much good exercise and enjoyment out of canoeing, but some means should be adopted at once to make any who fail to recognize the hazards of carelessness

ON REING ALONE
The great criticism that is raised against college men as a class is that they are hasty and emotional to such an excessive degree that their very enthusiasm becomes a weakness. There is not enough of that quiet, unimpassioned thinking which, in the end, of the most permissive students, seems to be of duty to our country. He is utterly alien to the spirit of the hour who has not felt the demands of national service in this time of national need. We shall not, however, make intelligent and satisfactory decisions if we adopt as our sole criterion our emotions when raised to the highest point of artificial stimulation. Every man who seeks the best ever nowadays—how Best can I serve my country?—should go apart from his fellows and be alone for a time. We make a plea for that solitude that is devoted to serious thought. Those who are borne forward on the topmost wave of popular enthusiasm to a decision they know not what, and to a course of action with which they have no acquire sympathy at all. In serious difficulties and cannot retrieve their steps without great humiliation to themselves and embarrassment to the guardians of the interests for which they profess a false and inflated loyalty.-Colgate Maroon.

OTHER KANSAS SCHOOLS TAKE COURSES AT K. U
Enroll by Mail for Courses Not Given in Smaller
Colleges
The correspondence-study department has closed a busy year and is now ready to start on its busiest season, according to Harold G. Ingham, secretary of the department. Enrollment is expected to increase greatly as soon as school closes for summer vacation. Students attending summer session enroll in correspondence courses in order to secure credit during vacation
"Most of the work is taken by students who are working for a degree," said Mr. Ingham. "Some students in the denominational colleges of the state take courses in our correspondence department because they are not offered in the colleges. There is a growing co-operation between these colleges and the University. We have a number of enrollees in our university, especially students in high schools as Baker University and William Jewell College. For instance students majoring in economics in one of those colleges often sign for our course in labor problems."
The total number of persons who have taken correspondence work in the past twelve months is 1220. This is an increase of sixty per cent over the enrollment two years ago. The most popular courses are English, education, journalism, Romance languages, mathematics, and Latin.
A great increase in the demand for Romance language courses has been made during the past three or four years. Mr. Ingham believes that this is the result of greater interest in South American trade.
TO FAMILIARIZE STATE WITH THE UNIVERSITY
John Montgomery Starts Camp paign to Send Campus Pictures to High Schools
A collection of twelve or fifteen of the most representative pictures showing the attractiveness of the University buildings and campus will be put in every accredited high school in the state within the next year if the plans of the Alumni of the University, prominent faculty members, students, and Lawrence business men work out.
Chancellor Frank Strong, Registrar George O. Foster, Prof. L. N. Flint, chairman of the department of journalism, Dean Frederick J. Kelly, director of the summer session, F. R. Hamilton, director of the University Press, Prof. S. O. Rice, director of the University Press and associate professor of journalism, Prof. W. H. Johnson, of the department of education, the Alumni of the University and Bert Ober, president of the Lawrence University favor the plan and have expressed themselves as willing to boost.
The idea of sending the pictures to the various high schools over the state is not altogether a new one as pictures have been sent out twice before they are printed; but that means the pictures are so out of date now that they tend to give an adverse opinion of the University. The plan now is to put out the up-to-date views so that the University will have the prestige among the students and send out pictures and pennants and other articles to attract students.
The prospective shortage of new enrollments next year is responsible for the idea of sending out an up-to-date collection of K. U. pictures. The course will be presented in the College, started the plan last week and has interviewed most of the prominent faculty members, students and merchants on the feasibility of the plan. So far everyone has been strongly in favor of the plan.
The pictures, as planned, will be placed on a large mat about three feet by four feet.
black oak. A glass will also be placed over the pictures so that they will not get soiled and will remain an attractive feature of the school rooms. The approximate cost of each set of pictures will be about five dollars, while the cost of crating and shipping will make the rate a little higher.

Jam, Jelly, Preserves To Help Sorority Fare
Out of the twelve social sororities interviewed four have already made definite plans to can fruit and vegetables to bring back next year to help out with the food supply. The women will not meet at any one place to do the work, but each loyal sister will make all the preserves, jam, and jellies which she can induce her mother to supply the necessary ingredients for these. We will be carefully stored away on pantry shelves and in dark colbyweed cellars until the week arrives for the mad rush back to school.
While there are so many stories of the brave sacrifices of American men in their heroic efforts to train for defense and in their equally brave efforts to save and conserve, it is unnecessary to go no farther than the K. U. campus for examples of women's efforts to help out with the serious food conditions which threaten the nation.
Then porters will groan under their heavy burdens of bags so carefully packed with precious jars of quince honey and marmelade, while the coeds hover over them and with every other breath warn them not to dare set that apparently harmless bag down too hard. Probably Sue's best party frock will be ruined by the contents of some old jar which saw an injury in its journey toold K. U, in her trunk then that is of small consequence when we consider how much the other jars of string beans and bright tin cans of corn will help in keeping food prices more reasonable.
The Alpha Delta Pi's, Alpha XI Deltas, Chi Omegas and Achoths are the ones who have already made definite plans to help out in this way and others will probably follow their example before school closes. When the Kappa Kappa Gamma's were approached with the question they answered, "We have made no definite plans as yet but there is no telling what we may decide to do before quiz week is over.

WAR INCREASES OIL INDUSTRY IN KANSAS
United States Government is Using Every Effort to Meet Demands
Many of you may not be back in school again, and the Seniors especially may not have the opportunity of revisiting old K. U. Obey the impulse of these balmy bright days and "click off" a few snan shots before you leave.
One industry in Kansas which will not suffer from the present war is the oil industry. Instead of declining it is continually increasing and every effort is being made to further increase the oil production in Kansas. All available drillers and machinery are being used to produce and deactivate the United States debarred war a noticeable increase in output has been made in the state.
the government in an attempt to increase the production of oil has exempted all the state geologists from enlistment," said Dr. Haynes of the department of geology, "hoping in this way to get them to use their efforts in prospecting for new fields of oil and coal."
The great need for the oil on the oil burning battle ships and destroyers is the primary reason for the current government is taking in this field.
We supply you with everything you will need—the kodak, the film rolls—and for developing and finishing—our prompt and satisfactory service will await you.
Snap shots of the campus, its buildings, shady lanes and prominent spots—all are preserved to your memory by a photographic reproduction from the Kodak.
Kansas ranked fourth in the output of crude oil last year and produced over 13,000,000 barrels.
Two hundred and eight producing
wells with a daily output of 12,000
barrels were drilled last month.

A Graphic Memory—
It is the belief of the geologists over the country that greater effort than ever before will be taken by the government to discover and open up new fields, and to compel the companies holding big leases in the heart of the producing oil districts to drill on their leases immediately.
With an increased area of oil fields and a more intensive plan of drilling the government hopes to boost morale for warfare in consumption during the war.

MISSOURI WON FIRST IN CONFERENCE MEET
Mile Run
Captain Fred Rodkey Lowers K. U. Record for Half Mile Run
True to dope the Tigers won the track and field meet at Ames, Iowa, annual Missouri Valley Conference Saturday, with a total of 67 points. He scored eight for second place over Ames with a pointage of 34%. Gerritt took fourplace with 14 points, Kansas took fifth place with 12½ points, and Drake was sixth with 6 points while Owen succeeded in making but 1 point.
The reason for the small Kansas score is but five Jayhawkers were entered in the meet. Captain Free Rodkey lived up to his record and run his last race for Kansas by taking first place in the half mile running it in one minute fifty-seven and three-fifths seconds. This is one second faster than his own record here.
Duncan, Tiger miler, again won the mile event. Hawthorne of Ames was second while Sproull, Kansas miler, took third. Pittum, of Kansas, jumped deep and won the high jump from Rice, of Kansas, by jumping five foot ten and four-fifth inches. Rice has been jumping six feet in previous meets this year. Grutzmacher, the little Kansas broad-jump flier, did not live up to his Nebraska record and lost to one of the tallest men who won 22.61 feet. The summaries:
Captain Bob Simpson also close his athletic career in the Missouri Valley Conference by winning three firsts out of Missouri's eight firsts. In the midweek, he scored four of Missouri in the 100-yard dash and also ran in the half-mile relay.

BLUSHER TO LEAD MISSOURI
Played Football Last Fall
The University of Missouri baseball squad recruited C. H. Slusher, the tar Tiger first baseman and a junior in the College of Agriculture, to captain the 1918 nine, last Thursday.
Played Football Last Fall
Star First Baseman Elected to Cap-
Slusher comes from Lexington, Mo., where he was graduated from the Wentworth Military Academy. He participated in football, basketball, and baseball there. He won one M last year as an outfielder on the baseball nine and succeeded in winning the state sports of football, basketball and baseball. He is the first man since 1908 to win three letters in one year.
He played end on the Tiger football team, guard on the basketball quintet
His work at a guard position on the basketball quintet gave him the title of one of the best guards in the Missouri Valley Conference, and his success in getting to first base and circling the diamond made him one of the best offensive baseball players on the Tiger nine.

HARD WORK THE ORDER FOR MEN AT FT. RILEY
Student Officers Crowd Three Months' Training Into Two Weeks Time
ALL GET PLENTY TO EAT
Competition for Commission at End of Course Will Be Keen
If the one hundred and twenty-five
University men who are at the
Officials' Training Camp at Fort Riley fail to receive commissions it will not be because they failed to
spend their time at study and drill, the camp
who spent Saturday night and Sunday with friends in Lawrence.
All men from the camp who visited in Lawrence agree that they like the work, that they have been provided with plenty of wholesome food, and that they are under the command of competent and efficient officers, but many of them complained of sore muscles and a lack of time for recreation due to the long hours spent in drill.
SPEND LONG HOURS AT DRILL
For life at the camp is nothing if not strenuous. Into the short two weeks has been crowded the work of three months, and without long hours of hard work every day this would have been impossible. The program calls for a day lasted from 5:30 in the morning until 7:30 at evening every day. This time is accounted for. The only period the men have to themselves is from 7:30 to 9:30 in the evenings, and many of them use this time in study or in caring for their equipment.
Men at the camp do not assume the got-four-years-to-do this-in attitude of the enlisted man. They are preparing themselves to be the leaders of the new conscript army, and in order to teach the new recruits they must know the drill themselves. And three months is a very short period for training most of the men are college men, and the officers consider that once is often enough to tell a thing. After that the men are expected to know it.
PRACTICE SHAM BATTLES
The past week has been spent, for the most part, in extended order drill. The men spend several hours each morning in charging and firing grenades on enemy. When the battle starts, the men of a company deploy as skirmishers, and, side by side, lying prone on the ground, form a fire line and fire at slow fire, rapid fire and fire at the commanding officer may direct.
When they have attained a supposed superiority of fire over the imaginary enemy the line begins advancing. To do this the first squad suspends firing, rises and advances toward the front, for fifty yards to the front. At the signal of the corporal they fall again to a pron position and resume firing,
and are followed by the second squad and that by the third until the whole company has reached the new firing line.
MEN ARE GRADED ON WORK
The battle ceases by noon and the afternoon is spent in bayonet drill, squad drill, and study. Lessons are required for the daily recite and are graded on their work.
And the men are keeping up with the work for at the end of camp there will be no chance to cram and pull through on a final. The government needs for the first draft only one fourth of the men now in training, and everyone realizes that unless he is given a chance to work, but the men are more hopeful since the visit last week of James P. Hare, dean of American war correspondents. Mr. Hare, who has visited the training camps in the East, spent two days last week at the fort and after watching the work at the Kansas post stated that in his army the Riley camp would furnish the greater number any of the eastern camps. The difference he thinks lies in the difference in the character of the men.

Morgan-Raemer
Announcement have been made of the marriage of Mr. Fred Raemer of Topeka and Miss Rhea E. Morgan of Lawrence. The ceremony took place in Kansas City Tuesday afternoon, May 22 and was followed by a wedding supper at the Hotel Baltimore.

UNIVERSITY ASSUMES DUTY OF REGISTRATION
Students Wishing to Stay for Commencement Need Not Worry About Enrolling
OFFICE OPENS THURSDAY
Pauline MacCatherine Duly Au thorized to Take Names Until June 5
Students who wish to remain in Lawrence for Commencement need not worry about registration under the new conscription law. Registrar George O, Foster and Prof. J. J Wheeler, University marshal, have arranged for all University men of the designated ages to register, at the business office window at Fraser Hall.
Miss Pauline MacCatherine has been deputized for the work and will be ready to receive applications for registration Thursday morning at 8 o'clock. Men may register Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Monday, May 31, and June 1 for a tour from eight to twelve in the foreoon, and from one-hirty to five o'clock in the afternoon.
Instructions in regard to the registration will be posted on the bulletin board by the business office window and those wishing to register are being requested to familiarize themselves with the instructions Wednesday in order that the work of registration may be lightened.
FACULTY MAY REGISTER
Members of the faculty whose homes are not in Lawrence may also register at Fraser, according to County Clerk Brune, since the object of opening a registration office at the University is to relieve the county clerk's office of some of the burden, and at the same time make the work of registration easier for members of the University.
Faculty members or students, living in Lawrence who are to be out of the city June 5 may register County Clerk's office before June 5.
Each student who appears for registration will be required upon application to hand to Miss MacCatherine a slip bearing his name, permanent address, and the day, month and year of his birth. His is accepted by law requiring that the registration card be filled out by the one in charge of registration.
Residents of Lawrence will not be allowed to register, if they are to be in the city, until Registration Day, June 5.
ADVISE EARLY REGISTRATION
On account of the fact that all blanks must be filled in by the registrar, Miss MacCatherine is requesting that not all care that care that care be taken that there are not too many left for registration the last day.
It is desirable that those who live at a distance register the first day, because the registration cards must reach the student's home precinct by June 5. Only those who live near home should wait until Monday to register.
The names of all men who register will be taken and certified to by Miss MacCatherine, so that in case any registration card fails to reach the student's home by June 5 on account of bad mail service, the student will not be subject to the penalties provided for those who fail to register.

WAR MAY CHANGE COURSES
College and Medical School Plan to Change Schedules to Meet War Time Needs
That the war may entirely revolutionize the University is shown by statements given out the last few days by heads of departments and other faculty members of the University. The changes that may be brought about are definitely decided upon yet, but all departments are waiting in readiness to change their schedules and courses to meet the needs of the war.
"The University authorities have realized the probability of the University changing its schedules and courses to meet the needs of the country in war time," said Dean Templin. "The steps will be taken will depend upon the course of events which now cannot be foreseen."
No new courses have yet been outlined for the College, according to Dean Templin, but any new courses will be offered if necessary or exigencies of the crisis will be offered.
The University School of Medicine, according to Dr. John Sundwall, will continue its work at its greatest capacity before the entrance of the United States into the war. are the same under normal conditions. For years the school has been over crowded, and, judging from applications for end-education, it is evident that the number of students will be greatly increased.

STRONG SENDS LETTER TO EACH H. S. SENIOR
Chancellor Writes to Prospective Students Telling of Need of Educated Citizens
Chancellor Strong has sent a letter to every student graduating from a Kansas high school this spring, asking them to consider the advantages of K. U. He points out the fact that a college educator or college man and women, for engineers, doctors, and scientists during the years of the war. Women must also be fitted to take their places in industrial and professional life.
It's a Pleasure
I venture on behalf of the University to call your attention in these troubled times to the fact that it is very important that high school students continue their course of study both in the high school and in institutions of higher learning. Especially is this true of students below the age set by the selective college, well-qualified and society-aged who for one reason or another are not called upon to fight for their country. It will be a calamity if the general standards of intelligence and education in our country be lowered because of the war. It is of great importance that educated men and women be at hand to have a part in the reconstruction which must take place after the war is over. Our country cannot enter a world war like the present one without being subject to great and even additional economic and social changes may even touch our political system with the result of more completely democratizing the nation. All these great questions must be settled largely by educated men and women. They can do so ten years, as unfortunately it may, an undiminished stream of well trained scientists and engineers will be absolutely necessary for the Government service. Especially will it be necessary, as has been pointed out by the Government, that young graduates continue their work and finish their course at the earliest possible moment.
to us to have the opportunity of thanking the Faculty and Students of the University for your most generous patronage during this past school year.
The Chancellor says in his letter
In addition, the scientific and industrial life of the country must be kept at a high level during the war, and after its close must be maintained to a minimum over a reason, therefore, why the stream of young people into high schools and then into colleges and universities should continue, and if possible be enriched with more students as along with other institutions of higher learning in the state
We wish you a very pleasant Summer
