War League, Proposed By Dean Olin Templin Wins Federal Approval
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 3, 1917
Government Officials Favor Plan of Uniting Universities for War Work
Headquarters In Wash. D.C.
The proposed War League of American Colleges is now a fact. Word that the United States government had recognized the value of the league was received this morning from Dean Olin Templin, originator of the idea who went to Washington, D.C., a week ago.
K. U. Dean Placed In Charge And Instructed To Go On With Plans
George Creel, chairman of the committee of public information at Washington and chief censor of the United States is strongly in favor of the plan and has asked Dean Templin to undertake the formation of the league between the Army and of fierce force and has accepted the duty of supervising the work.
HEADQUARTERS IN WASHINGTON This means that the plan of another University of Kansas man has been accepted by the United States as of great use in the world war and that his movement will have its offices in Washington with the dean of the College directing the work.
CHANCELLOR SUPPORTS PLAN
The plan had the hearty endorsement of Chancellor Strong before Dean Templin went east to lay his plans before government officials. The Chancellor had already mailed letters explaining the league plan to the governor general in these countries in this country and practically all strongly favored the plan.
"I heartily endorse the plans for the league," said the Chancellor this morning. "It means that the student bodies of the colleges and universities over the country will be organized for the college life such sacrifices they will take up necessary war economics, and undergo in their college life such sacrifices as may be necessary to help their former University comrades now fighting in the trenches. The league will also be no support of the president's ideals.
TO CONSERVE MEN
Dean Templin in his analysis of the needs of the league says the majority of American colleges are alive to their responsibilities. Committees of faculty and student members have held meetings where addresses have been delivered, subscription papers have been circulated, military drill introduced, and many other things of like importance have been undertaken. Nevertheless, there has been more or less bewilderment everywhere. With no clear understanding of what ought to be done, it has been natural to follow establishment custom and to know toward recting hand from acknowledged authority.
"This to my mind is the most important point in connection with the league, coupled with the fact that it will be a very important factor in its world to world peace after the war is over and German domination is no more."
The significance of the whole plan is that the American college is to have an active part in the world war whether the students have enlisted or are planning to. It has been pointed out to the American colleges that when the war started, the English college men went as in a body to the front and much of the best material for making officers in the British army was killed off early in the war. Part of the work of this league it is believed must be in keeping up a body flow of men from American schools to the ranks of officers in the various military forces of the country. The league will tend to keep the undergraduate machine in good working order.
The newly appointed University Intelligence Committee of faculty members and students will meet to night at 8:15 o'clock in Fraser Hall.
Too Bad Kansas!
Because the University of Kansas has not had a permanent course in military tactics for the last ten years, no men students will be able to attend the Third Officers Training Camp, which opens January 5 at Fort Chichagua, Port Blas and Fort Sam Houston. On Friday, when the announcement comes, the officers camp, it was thought that the University might be represented by some of the men who are liable to be drafted in January. On further information it was learned that only those colleges that have had a permanent course in military tactics are eligible to send applicants.
Former Regent Of K. U.
Dies At Home In Topeka
Scott Hopkins, who was for fourteen years a member of the Board of Regents, died at his home in Topeka yesterday. At the time of his death he was the president of the Prudential Trust Company of Topeka.
Mr. Hopkins was graduated from the University of Kansas in 1881 and obtained a degree from Columbia in 1884. He did not seek offices, but he held honorary positions in many clubs and civic movements. At one time he was president of the Kansas Bankers' Association.
"Mr. Hopkins was a man of fine character and ability, very loyal to his friends and to the University," said Chancellor Strong this morning, commendable in the life of the state because of his allegiance to the best ideas."
Dramatic Club Begins Competitive Try-Outs Tonight For Big Play
Wartime Drama To Be Staged After Christmas—Committee Chooses Cast
The first competitive try-out for the cast of the annual Dramatic Club play, which is to be staged after the Christmas holidays, will be held tonight beginning at 7 o'clock in the Little Theater in Green Hall.
The play has already been chosen but the name is withheld by the executive committee of the club. The only details of the play that are given out is that it is a stirring wartime drama set in constant time alive with tense situations.
Regarding the play Harold Lylek president of the club, has this to say "We were particularly fortunate in securing the rights to stage the play. It is one of the largest productions and has not been given by stock companies. In my opinion and in the mind of the executive committee it even has 'Under Cover', the play staged last year, beaten for real interest. We have good talent. We also know why the play should not be as good as that last year, if not an improvement on it."
As nearly every member of the executive committee of the club, which is made up of the officials, intends to try for parts, a ne' committee has been formed. The director of Murray, director of the club, to judge the comparative showings of those trying out and their decisions will govern the picking of the cast. The committee includes Prof. H. T. Hill, Professor MacMurray, Brown, and Professor MacMurray.
Managers Announce Law Scrim Dec.
The try-out tonight will be preliminary to the elimination down to the final cast and further dates for the competition. Those trying for places should either be members of the club or applicants for membership in the organization.
Rest Room For Robinson
Carpenters are at work on the women's rest room, in the east end of the second floor of Robinson Gymnastium. The room which has formerly been vacant, is now being fitted as a place where students may rest if the regular prescribed course proves too strenuous. It is not expected that the room will be ready for occupancy before Thanksgiving.
A week after the Thanksgiving vacation will see the second big All-University party, the Law Scrim. The Scrim is an annual party given to the university's football team and is one of the big social events of the year.
The preliminary tryouts for the inter-collegiate debating teams will be held in Room 3, Green Hall, at 7 o'clock sharp, Wednesday night, December 5. All contestants, both former inter-collegiate debaters and new material must attend and offer their best responses. For any other information, see earlier issues of the Kansas or call Prof. H. T. Hill at his office in Green 8, or at phone 321.
"We have limited the sale of tickets," said one of the managers, "to one hundred and they are going like hot cakes. The tickets are for sale by the following men; both managers of the Scrim, Dick Gelvin and Armine Barteldes, Rip Brady, and Raymond Hemphill.
"We have cut the price of the party considerably," said Dick Gelvin, "on account of the war conditions. The price this year will be three dollars a couple, instead of five as last year."
Jayhawker Men,Open Office Today; Morgan Announces Assistants
All arrangements have been made for the Scrim, which is to take place Friday night, December 7 at F. A. U. The place orchestra will furnish the music.
Annual Editors Will Transac Business At Stand In Journalism Building
Starts Campaign For Prints
Pictures And Dues Wanted Now
—Staff Picked For
Work
With the opening of the office of the 1918 Jayhawk this morning, Harry Morgan, editor, announced the members of the staff, who will assist in gathering the material and preparing the contents of this year's annual. The office of the Jayhawk has been established in the journalism building, the basement of the old medicine building, where Morgan and Don Davis manage the office, who will have daily from 10 to 11 o'clock in the morning, from 3 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon and from 10 to 12 o'clock Saturday mornings.
The Jayhawker appointments fol: low; Margaret Hodder, associate editor; Warren Wattles, organizations and activities; Dorothy Cole, schools and classes; George Montgomery and students; Lind Anderson, athletics; Marion Joseph, women's athletics; Marjorie Rickard, fraternities and sororites; Lucille Means, Lucille Nowlin and Lawson May, humor, Gene Dyer and Lynn Hershey, junior section; Fred Jenkins, staff photographer; Horace Chandler, Joe Harris and Miles Gates, staff, Fred Leach and Floyd Lynn.
CHOSEN FOR EFFICIENCY
"It has seemed advisable to cut down the size of the board a little this year," said Morgan, in commenting that the organization has done with the aim of obtaining a compact, co-operative organization, which it is believed, will be more efficient than its predecessor. "It can be an easier task to apportion the work and direct the tasks under this plan.
"OPEN SEASON" FOR PRINTS
"It is probable however that the board will be enlarged later, particularly the art staff. I would like to find more people who are talentive in the field of the chawker will give the recognition to anyone whom is canable of earning it."
All pictures this year are being taken on dark backgrounds. Honor blanks, which should be turned in with the gloss prints may be had at the Jayne Walker office. The senior驾都 is $7, the same as heretofore.
This is "open season" for senior pictures, prints of organizations, snap shots and payment of senior dues, according to Morgan. Friday, December 21, the last day before the Christmas holidays, has been set as the final date for the acceptance of senior prints. These should be turned in at the library office of Morgan. More than a hundred seniors have had their pictures taken and many more have arranged for sitting with the photographers.
The annual men report good progress on the book, considering the unsettled condition of school affairs. Considerable art work has been completed in fifteen new campus views, taken this fall, are in the hands of the engraver.
"Those who have not obtained their pictures should attend to it at once," said Morgan, "in order not to hold up your picture." It is clear that will only bear in mind that their cooperation and observance of our requests will only result in better workmanship in their annual I believe they be willing to get pictures in on time.
The Jayhawker, in keeping with the spirit of the times, will be military in tone throughout and the University's part in the war will be a big feature. Pictures of Company M, the University unit, now at Camp Domphan and the work of the drill companies, will be given due prominence. Pictures of all men who were students in the war and now in the service are being sought, as well as any information as to the whereabouts of any who have enlisted. Pictures, even snap shots, and information of these Kansan wearers of the "olive drab" will be received gladly, according to the editors.
MILITARY IN TONE
TO PUSH WORK RAPIDLY
"It is particularly important this year that the work be pushed as rapidly as possible because of the fact that many students may be taken from school during the second semester, and that they want a Jayhawker, the only memento they will have of their years in college and they will want their picture in it. For this reason, all organizations, especially fraternities who are in danding at college, should get their groups taken as soon as possible."
Finance Committee Is To Bring Kansas War Fund to $11,000 Goal
Pledges of Various Organiza tions Have Raised Amount to $10,477.40
Women Continue In Lead
Drive Going Forward Slowly for $11,000—Personal Contributions Practically Stopped
Although contributions to the Students' Friendship War Fund are coming in slowly, work in collecting contributions will continue until the goal of $11,000 for the University of Kansas has been reached, accrued, and the finance committee. Personal contributions have stopped almost entirely, but several organizations are expected to add to the fund and a few faculty members who have thus far been offered the prize will be seen as soon as possible.
About $200 has been added to the fund in the last few days. The only contribution from an organization since the last report is $25 from Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering fraternity. Most of the contributions which have been made by organizations have not come through assessments or membership but been funds which the organization had on hand. One fraternity contributed a liberty bond that it had bought a month before.
At present the women of the Uni-
versity lead in total contributions
Contributions from men students fail

K. U. Students May Attend Dance Classes
Mrs. Brown Says They May Study Terpsichorean Art If Departure Is Early
There has been much misunderstanding concerning the Wednesday night dancing classes which are held at Ecke's Hall every week. It has been estimated that some dances have been authorized by University authorities.
mrs. Brown has investigated the class, inquired about the kind of people who attend and the manner of dancing that is taught, and says that the management of the class seems to be proper.
They are not authorized dances, but they are supposed to be dancing classes, according to Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women at K. U. The students of the University who really can not dance and go there to learn, may go, provided they attend without dates, and each one pays for his or her own tickets and leaves once is at home by 10 o'clock. No one can go home with a date or meet a date after getting there.
"So long as this privilege and these requirements are not anused the University will not interrure. But this class is to be taught so that students can learn to dance and cannot be turned into a social舞 by those who already danced," she said.
Owl meeting Tuesday night, Sigma Chi house, 7:30 o'clock. Dance and Sour Owl business.
Men students of the University are to be held by these requirements too. There is a University Senate ruling which says no student can attend a dance open to the general public at a fixed price.
U Student To Lecture
Carl J. Wilhelmson, c18, will give an illustrated lecture at the meeting of the Deutschen Verein tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock in Room 313, Fraser Hall. The subject will be the work of Martin Luther, and will be a timely one in view of the fact that this is the four hundredth anniversary of Luther's birth. The lectures will be illustrated are the property of a Luther organization, and will be shown only once.
Miss Norine Powell of Odessa, Mo., is visiting Mary Roberts c'18. Miss Powell came up for the holidays and will remain this week.
Nell Miles visited Irma Lutz in Kansas City during the vacation.

Naismith Is Appointed Assistant In France
---
Doctor J. A. Naismith, who left the University in September, is now in France, as the head of an army Y. M. C. A. division which travels from France to England He was head of the 1920 British Eighth Army here and his work in furthering the interests of athletics at the University is well-known. He is also known over the country as the inventor of basket ball. Mr. Naismith was on the border a year ago during the Mexican troubles with the First Kansas Infantry regiment.
Doctor Naismith left the University this fall to do Y. M. C., A. wart work. He was on the border a year ago during the Mexican trouble as chaparral owner and he regiment. His work in furthering the interests of athletics at the University has probably been as successful as that of any man who has had a career in sports, partment. He is also known over the country as the inventor of basketball.
Plain Tales From The Hill
The student was bidding a fonc fae one of the lady students at the club.
Some of the scenes at parting for Thanksgiving vacation . . . indeed very touching. One of those aloha oceans occurred in the hall of a popular boarding house just after breakfast.
Said he, quite peevish-like: "Well, if you've got that toothpick in your mouth, just put it on."
And those who remained in Law-
yers' office had to play, for
the Library was locked.
Indications are that Russell Friend, Richard R. Nelson and William Lassen will soon enter the Curtiss Aviation School at Berkeley, California, or Miami, Florida.
No!
According to Friend, they have enough information on the school to supply all the students of the University.
Encouraging
"But," said Rusty, "there is a mistake in one of their catalogues. I says 'We charge $600 for 400 minutes flying.' I am sure it means that they will pay you $800 if you can stay in the air 400 minutes."
A college graduate was walking down the street one evening with a friend of Irish descent, and, pausing in the carry sky, remarked with enthusiasm:
"How bright 'Ubron is to骄慢"
So that is 'Bryan is it?' replied
Pat. so that he the Lord there's
one Irishman in heaven, anyhow!"—
London Opinion.
On the street car the other day there were two negro women. They were not near each other, but carried on a stroller and looking around their passengers.
"How bright Orion is tonight!"
"Are you going to vote?" asked one.
"Cose 'I gwine to vote'," said the other one. "Two bits looks good to me."-Columbus Dispatch.
Love is Blind
"I don't know how many times he kissed me!"
"What!    with the thing going on under your nose!" - Harvard Lammond
It has been said that one can learn as much outside the class room as within. Anyhow a small boy on Oread is rapidly learning college slang.
The other evening he heard some girls talking about some dates and he volunteered, "Yes, she had one because I saw her with a soldier boy." "One what? he was asked. "Why you don't know what a date is." "Yes I do," answered the small boy. "It's when a girl has a man."
Little Bobbie Ferris, age four, who has always lived on Oread, knows a great number of the University students and professors by name. He hears conversations of people at most on the hill, and has his own particular method of rewarding them for their kindness to him. The other evening he closed his prayers with this pep talk. He told the man and all the K. U, bunch, but specially the Sigma Nu boys."
Mr. and Mrs. Indian and little Miss Papose spent the day on the hill recently sightseeing. A whole Indian family, buck with braided hair a year long, and squaw with papose strapped on her back, were on the hill watching the oak trees they were from Haskell; anyway they were much interested in the other interested in the other institution of learning located at Lawrence. They went the rounds of the buildings and read the posters on the bulletin board parents interested. Why doadas Haskell our visits more frequently?

Generally fair tonight and Tuesday. Not much change in temperature.
Kansas Takes Second Place In Conference In Win Over Missouri
Missouri Starts Thanksgiving Day Game With Rush In First Quarter
Jayhawkers S m a sh Through Tiger Line—Score 27
Smashing the Tiger line at will the plunging Jayhawker machine piled up a 27 to 3 score on Rollins Field at Columbus, Thanksgiving day and thereby won an undisputed title to the NFC championship. Valley Conference championship race.
An Ideal Day For Football
It was a decisive victory. For the second time in the history of Jayhawker-Tiger clashes on Rollin Field the gridiron was not muddy. Instead they was ideal for football and the field is an excellent condition for the game.
to 3
The Tiger team, groomed and pointed for the final clash proudly marched on the gridiron and during the first few minutes of play started a drive that carried the oval far into the Kansas territory. The Tiger rooters went wild
The Tiger onslaught carried the ball to the Kansas seven yard line. At this point Coach Jay Bond sent in the veteran jones at left guard in place behind him. The new combination worked out and the Tiger offensive was halted.
MAKES FIELD GOAL
Morris, Tiger quarterback, called for a kick from placement. Collins, left half dropped back to the Kansas fifteen year line and placed the oval ball downfield against goal posts, as the Tiger line held. It is needless to describe the overenthusiastic Tiger rooting section. Every Tiger supporter believed that depee was to be upset and that another victory would be chalked up for Missouri.
The Tiger hilarity soon ceased, however, when Nettles kicked off again and the Tiger machine was forced to break away. The Kia Suzuki slosher booted the ball and Foster returned to Missouri's torty-five yard line. At this stage in the game, the backfield men ripped through the Titans' defense, but Kansas linemen would on no bells.
Finally, when the Tiger twenty-five yard line was reached, Ruble, giant Kansas right half, tucked the ball under his arm and ploughed the Tiger until he crossed the god and black line. Lonberg kicked a perfect goal.
SECOND QUARTER A BATTLE
The Jayhawker machine again assumed the offensive after forcing the Tiger machine to kick, but there was not enough time left in the first period to push the ball across the goal line again. The Tiger fifteen yard line was reached as the whistle sounded the end of the first period.
At the beginning of the second quarter Pringle and Ruble pushed the ball to the Tigers' ten yard line for a first down, but on the next play Pringle lost the ball on a fumble after being tackled hard. Slusher, Tiger left, end, recovered the ball but was down. He scored the fourth quarterback, called for a punt and Slusher booted the ball back to the center of the field out of danger.
During the rest of the half both teams fought hard but neither had the necessary punch to push the ball across for a touchdown. Both lines held well and it was a punting duel between Foster and Slusher. The ball with Kansas in possession of the ball on Missouri's thirty-five yard line.
Between halves the Missouri band played first and formed an "M" on the gridiron, and then the Kansas band marched on the field and formed
PRINGLE MAKES TOUCHDOWN
Kansas came back stronger than ever at the opening of the third quarter, making a brace of touchdowns. Missouri gained possession of the ball on Jayhawk's thirty-five yard line on a fake kick-off but the Kansas line held and Ruble intercepted a pass by Collins on their own twenty-five yard line. Kansas then pushed to the center of the field where Foster kicked over the Tiger goal line.
Missouri took the ball on her own twenty yard line and Slusher punted seventeen yards out of bounds. The Jayhawker machine marched through the Tiger line to the twelve yard line and missed the挫者 the Tiger goal line for the second in the Lomborg kicked goal making the score 14 in to 3 favor of Kansas.
Just before the close of the quarter Pringle again carried the pikekin in front after a seven yard plunge through the Tiger line. Lonborg failed to

MONDAY. DECEMBER 3, 1917.
What the men of the University of Kansas could and would do in the present great war has been proved by the enlistment of hundreds in various branches of the service; many of whom left school immediately upon the declaration of war and some of whom have seen actual service on the French line.
K. U. WOMEN AND THE WAR
What the women of the University could and would do was not proved until last week when the campaign for $11,000 for the Student Friendship Fund was begun. According to the committee of faculty members in charge the success of the movement was due to the work and generosity of women of the University.
Realizing that the number of men enrolled in school greatly exceeded the number of women, the promotion force was appointed accordingly; about 30 per cent of the men responded to the call of duty and sacrifice; 90 per cent of the women responded and stained on the job until it was finished. A greater per cent of women pledged than did men and the women's pledges averaged much more. To quote one prominent man on the Hill, "the women have saved the reputation of the University."
What the women of the University have done can be repeated when the country demands another work as great or greater, if it can be such, the women of Kansas will do all that is expected and more. The men of the University can go out to fight for the cause of democracy with the feeling that their co-workers are fighting with them even if it be indirectly.
WHY THE WAR?
Of course every one knows what caused the war. Nothing could be simpler. It was the murder of the Archduke; it was the menace of Panslavism; it was German militarism; it was the Frenchman's passion for revenge; the Englishman's jealousy of German enterprise; the Kaiser's obsession for "World Empire or Downfall;" it was caused by the jingo press, by the scheming money power, by military cliques, by economic competition, by a gloomy Malthusian outlook, by underhanded diplomacy, by the blindness of popular ignorance, by the prevalence of "free thought" and socialism, by the wickedness of variously identified Sodoms and Gomorrahs, or even by the dread inevitableness of certain apocalyptic biblical prophecies—Unpopular Review.
USELESS GIFTS
By this time it seems that our Christmas must inevitably be the same hurried, tumultuous, weary and costly thing that it has always been. We must rush hither and thither, dazed by a strange medley of undesirable objects, and daunted by the prices asked for them. We must storm postoffices, and stand in line before the digsy desks of express
companies. We must waste money and strength and time and temper, turning the great feast of the Christian year into a hard scramble for gifts. We must walk down the streets and ask ourselves fearfully what intuitions are coming our way in return for the intuitions we send forth. We must do what we have always done, and wonder, as usual, why we do it.
Here at least is room for practical reform. The call for nation wide economy is not a meaningless word. It represents a real and bitter need. Waste of money, waste of raw material, waste of man power and woman power, all help to bring disaster. We might and we should resolve that this Christmas we will buy—for adults—nothing absolutely useless. Useful gifts are more difficult to find and to fit; they are more homey than the glittering trumpery spread on the Christmas counters; but their purpose is known, their dignity apparent, their welcome well assured. Youth's Companion.
ANOTHER CAMPUS PEST
The most disliked and shunned campus pest arrived last Wednesday morning in the shape of the professor who wished the students a joyous holiday and then assigned a quizz for the Monday following.
Those who had fears that the Christmas holidays would begin a week or two earlier because of a coal shortage will be delighted to know that there is no danger of a coal famine at K. U. John Shea, superintendent of grounds, announces that there will be no necessity for students in the University to go to bed to keep warm like the students in Tennessee did for a good supply of coal is on hand.
Our sincere sympathy and best wishes go out to the students enrolled in that history course called Modern Europe.

Not Wise To Develop Many Small Coal Mines
It is not the small and widely scattered coal mines of Kansas that need to be developed, but the larger fields that have not been worked to final capacity, according to Ermanna Hafer, a professor at the department of geoyen at K. U.
He thinks that it is not a wise policy to develop such small mines as those around Lawrence. He believes that they may try to mine in the small mines near here, when there are long veils that have not been developed. The farmers used to mine it near but they now find it more profitable to buy them.
"Kansas mines that are idle in Linn county, at LaCygne, Pleasanton, and Boicourt are vastly better to be mined than the little ones like these here in Douglas county. Coal in these mines could be obtained for two-thirds the cost of operating the little mines of the state."
"With a vein of coal only twelve to eighteen inches thick," he said, "such as that in the strip which extends through Lawrence from Atchison south past Ottawa to Sedan, it costs too much to mine it. The mines in the southeast can mine it so much cheaper and it is better coal."
professor Haworth also pointed out that the vast amount of timber land in the state could be used if the coal gave out. He said that there was plenty of it and that it is good field material; demand is not enough for it, to make its demand worth while for many to go out to cut it.

There are nine restroom first and third Wednesday nights from seven to eight o'clock at the homes of the various members.

WHEN the first snow furries drift through the crisp air, and you settle down in your favorite chair with a good book, don't you begin to get something of the spirit of Christmas? Or as you swing along in the invigorating breeze with your coat buttoned tight 'round your neck, and you catch a gay bit of song or a rippling note of laughter from the lighted houses, and see the way the bell tells me you're not 'taking your heart swell a little and your step a trifle quicker?' Even the crunch of the soft snow underfoot seems to mingle with the sleighbells in their proclamation of the glad season.
Christmas, above all other times, is the occasion for unconstrained joy, for fellowship, and happiness. The sordidness of the every-day world, "with its petty round of irritating concerns and duties," is forgotten. Bells peal out from the church tops, and the miracle of the "Christmas Carol" is re-enacted n a million homes.
GIVE HIM CIGARS
At no other festival of the year does the common bond of fraternity so strongly grip our hearts. Whether we still hang up our stockings in youthful expectation, or believe that all men are equal, it is the bond of us who does not feel that strange something within us which finds its expression in a spirit of sacrifice and tender remembrance.
But don't give him any kind of cigars. Give him a good brand!

Kansas Sprinters Win Honors In Annual Run Over City Boulevards
Jayhawkers Came In Together After First and Second Place Were Taken
Only two men were able to cross the line in front of the five cross country runners from the University of Kansas Saturday afternoon in the city run over the Kansas City, Mo. boulevards. Hawthorne, who was a great runner in the Missouri Valley last season is back in school, running again for Ames this year. He copes with an in 29 minutes for the ride course.
This is good time considering the hard track but it does not compare with Fred Rodkey's Valley record of 26 minutes and 40 seconds. Claiborn, a sergeant, one of the five athletes representing the Eighty-ninth division of the National army at Camp Funston was second, finishing nearly two blocks behind Hawthorne in 30 minutes. Then came the K. U. runners.
Every year, W. O. Hamilton takes the regular team and usually some freshmen to Kansas City to run in this meet and every year the Jayhawk runners come back with medals and jewelry, for the first prize for many years has been given to them. This time none were taken because none have shown any consistent running ability and few have been trying for the yearling squad.
Dewall came in third, Ralph Rodkey,
Fourth, Hanna was in fifth, McCalla,
sixth; and Buffington, seventh,
music on Funston came across the
line next.
The race was an impromptu affair, the management not knowing whether it was going to be held or not until the day before the run.
This ends the cross-country season. The letters will be awarded at the same time football letters are given at the beginning of the season. The all six of the runners on the squad were given letters, but the team last season was an unusually consistent one. The number of letters to be awarded for the decision of the athletic board.
Trees Killed By Freezing Not Thawing -Dr. Mix
"Fruit trees and plants are killed by freezing, and not by thawing as has been thought by some of the older scientists," said Dr. A. J. Mix in his lecture to the Botany Club Wednesday night.
"When the tree or plant is frozen the water is drawn out of the cells and whenever the withdrawal of water passes a certain point the plant is killed. The plasma, the living material of the cell, is thus injured."
Fruit trees are harmed by several kinds of cold injury, the mechanical cold injury and direct freezing to frozen plant material in theical due to ice in the tissue of the plant.
Frost cracks are caused by unequal contraction of the tree trunk and a crack results. The cells refill this crack with wood, but the next winter it cracks open more easily, and after several cracks are produced and re-filled, a ridge is produced called frost ridge.
Kansas Takes Second In Conference Win
kick goal. The ball was carried to the seven yard line on a series of line plunges and a forward pass.
NIELSEM CROSSES GOAL LINE
Captain Nielsen made the last touchdown of the game, the honor touchdown of the season in the middle of the final period after Ruble had intercepted a Tiger pass, and the Jayhawker machine had pushed the oval to score. The Jays locked goal making the final score 27 to 3 in favor of Kansas.
Missouri opened up in the final period but to no avail. It was one of the Tiger passes that Ruble intercepted that was response. Both eleven completed but two passes each. The Tigers fought hard but they were not strong enough to stop the Jayhawk machine after it once started.

War Stimulates Growth Of U. S. Drug Business
Cultivation of Many New Medicinal Plants Taken Up In This Country
In more than one line has the European war proved that necessity is the mother of invention, and as much of it was invented by others. At a recent meeting of the Philadelphia section of the American Chemical Society it was shown what had been accomplished thus far in American pharmaceutical chemistry,
The scientists there discussed the things being done. Pure sugars necessary in identifying different organism, for instance, have been prepared to be used in preparing billon, used in growing bacteria has been developed.
A shortage of cruce drugs which were formerly obtained in Europe has been met in the United States by the cultivation of medicinal plants. It has been necessary to standardize chemically and physiologically, these drugs so that their content of active principles would be normal.
Dr. P. S. Pittenger, head of the biological laboratory founded by Dean Sayre in '83, devised an apparatus for use with the Carrel-Dakin solution which is the new popular war antiseptic.
"All of which proves," says Dean Sayre, "that the pharmaceutical chemist is wide awake and making the most of his opportunities. One thing is certain: the American physician must be confident that the medical profession, will never again be dependent upon any foreign country for supplies."
Girls In Cross Country Need Suitable Shoes
Doctor Sherbon Says Much Dis comfort Is Caused By Close-Fitting Footwear
Women who are *taking* cross-country hiking, are having much trouble with *wheel feet*, *n.*, *t.* to D. Florence B. Serber, head of the department of physical education for women. Most of the trunk's Doctor Sher r. s., is due to shows that are not fitted for hiking
"Most of the shirts that are offered at the down-town shop stores are made so such a narrow last that there is not enough room for the shirts. You need to go to the fort will be made to obtain shoes of a more comfortable last."
"Many women who have found their shoes comfortable for everyday wear, have found them unsuited for long walks across the country. Something will be done to get the merrier look and supply of shoes suitable for hiking."
The ordinary rubber-soled gymnasium shoes are not satisfactory, in the opinion of Doctor Sherbon, because they do not furnish enough to the feet, and are not durable enough. She believes they would be too cold for winter and would allow the feet to be bruised on frozen or stony ground.
No Parties or Student Meetings at K. S. A. C.
Because of the meningitis outbreak at Camp Funston and Fort Riley all permits for college dances, parties, mass meetings, concerts or any other meetings in which students participate have been revoked by Dean J. T. Willard, acting president of the State Agricultural College. Prof. L. N. Flint who spoke yesterday to the students of industrial journalism at K. S. A. C. reports that Manhattan people are worrying about the various contagions prevalent at Camp Funston, because of meningitis are already reported in the town. All soldiers who are allowed to leave the camp must keep off the street cars and away from theaters and public gatherings.
All students and faculty members in the Agricultural College are to be examined as a precautionary measure against the spread of disease.

There is no danger of a coal shortage at the University according to John M. Shea, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds. The bins are well filled and no trouble has been encountered in obtaining it. Owing to lack of room a large quantity of coal which arrived from the prison mines last summer has had to be left in the open.
Woman's Part In War Discussed At Forum By Professor Elmer
May Supplant Many Men In Industry After Conflict,
Speaker Says
The "percentage of crime among women is increasing as rapidly as the percentage of women in the professional world is increasing," was the point Prof. M. C. Elmer made in his lecture last afternoon. He explained that women in the home do not meet the temptations that women meet in the professions. Women in the banking business, he says, will have the same chance to rob a bank that a man would have, and she will be no stronger than her brother. This does not mean, however, that women are becoming weaker morally.
Professor Elmer's subject was "Woman's Part in the War," but he talked on women in labor in general. Many people believe that women in the industrial sector have had more experience Professor Elmer says they have been the back bone of labor since primitive times. At present more than twenty-five per cent of the women of the United States over ten years old are wage earners and in every instance statistics show that women are doing superior work to men. At the same time they earn only about one half or $250 less than the men. Two of the women in the industrial field are state of affairs are that women are new in the industrial field and are physically unfit for occupation. Professor Elmer proved these arguments to be false. A third argument is that women cannot move from place to place as men can and the biggest argument is that women do not go into the industrial world with the intention of remaining any longer than time. The women who work co-operate Mr. Elmer said that it is almost impossible to organize women in working unions just because they only intend to work a short time.
"The war will change this situation," says Professor Elmer. "Executive positions are now opening up to women which were never open to them before and although sentiment may be different, men when they return from the war, in the long run employers will give the places to the most efficient workman be it a man or a woman. Women today are proving themselves equally efficient and often superior to men in all fields of industry which they have worked in and all they need is education now in order to demand higher wages."
Advise Technical Men
To Await Coming Draft
To those men who have been in doubt as to whether they should enlist now or wait to be drafted the following letter just received by Prof. G. C. Shaad of the School of Engineering should be enlightening. The letter is from the Department of the Interior:
Dr. Hollis Godfrey has referred to me your letter of October 31st. It appears that there has been no final public decision as to when the next draft will take place. Undoubtedly the new classification will, if it is not interpreted, affect engineering students seriously. The combined opinion of the Association of American Universities, the Association of Agricultural Colleges, the National Research Council, and even the chairmen of the Board but before Secretary Baker, to the effect that it is essential to allow technical students to finish their work before being called to military service.
Mr. George C. Shaad, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kans.
University of Ram
Lawrence, Kans.
My dear sir:
Pending action by the War Department, I should advise all students in technical courses to remain in college.
According to Dr. F. W.

Aparatus Finally Arrives
Apparatus Finally Arrives
A special piece of apparatus for the Electrical Engineering department, to test carbon brushes for electrical machines and motors, ordered two years ago from an American university, arrived to the department. This type of a machine which is to be used by two seniors in connection with their thesis on "Testing Carbon Brushes," has little demand on the market, and is used purely for research work.

R. C. Moore Completes Report On County Coal
Investigation of Local Beds Made for Douglas County Fuel Administrator
A report of the possibilities for mining coal in Douglas county has been completed by Prof. Raymond C. Moore, State Geologist, for the use of Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, County Fuel Administrator.
Between 1880 and 1885 there was considerable mining activity in the region of Blue Mound and Sibilevay, five miles south of Lawrence. Forty miles north of Lawrence day and coal could be obtained around $3 to $7.35 a ton at the mine. The bed was from 11 to 16 inches thick, and contained a good grade of bituminous coal. The mine was aban-
dant because of the increased cost of production. The vein ran 30 to 48 feet below the surface. Shafts were run straight in where the outcrops occurred on the hill sides. Thin veins of coal were also found several miles west of Law-
land along Deer Creek, and around Clinton.
Prof. Moore said that the same coal vein could be found under Mt. Oread, probably between nine and eleven inches thick. No outcroppings occur on the Hill. The investigation was made to ascertain the possibilities of using Douglas county coal for heating purposes in Lawrence should the high prices make it a commercial possibility.
Studies Read Few Novels And Fiction For Pleasure
Kipling and O. Henry Are Popular But Post and Literary Digest Sell Best
Students read few novels, fiction,
or magazines for pleasure. Those
that读 them do so because they are
assigned lessons.
In Spooner Library, books by O. Henry and Rudyard Kipling are read considerably, but these are assigned. Magazines like The Literary Digest and Outlook are the most demanded in the library.
There are many different magazines, almost any that would be desired, on the shelves in Spooner Library with free access to the students to read while in the Library. These magazine shelves are always partly used by young adults in library all magazines up to date are kept. The journalists read "Life" and "Unpopular Review" besides the others mentioned.
Many students read the Saturday Evening Post and Cosmopolitan. These are the best sellers in the down town newsstands. Out of 400 Saturday Evening Posts orered by Carder's, the greatest number of them are sold to students. Carder orders from thirty-five to fifty copies of Literary Digest each week and these are always sold and more demanded. The news stands sell but little cheap lit erature.
The newspapers are the most read.
Every day and all hours of the day,
students go to the newspaper room in
the library and read their home town paper.
November Remarkable For Fogs Says Report
According to the University monthly weather report November was a remarkable month for the number of fogs and light rainfalls recorded. Seven foggy days are listed, the later in the fifty years that these reports have been in existence with the exception of 1913. The humidity was rather high especially in the latter days of the month, and run of wind was rather slow although a high temperature was recorded on the twenty-second.
The mean temperature for the month was 47.51 degrees, the rainfall .10 inches; the mean cloudiness 49.6 per cent of the sky; the mean humidity of the month, 80 per cent of the wind 116. Two earthquakes were reported on the sixth, one lasting three minutes and the other seven.
Student's Father Killed In Accident Wednesday
As the result of a taxicab accident on Wednesday night, November 28, R. Robertson, aged 60, a stockman of 901 Linwood Boulevard, Kansas City, died here Thursday morning at the hospital. Mr. Robertson is the father of Laura Robertson, c'20, a member of the Chi-Oma sorority.
The family had planned a Thanksgiving reunion, and Robertson was hurrying back to Kansas City, but in North Lawrence he was hit by the motor car. Lieutenant Flavier Robertson from Fort Sheridan, Illinois, also returning for the reunion, was met at Union station with the news of his death.

President Wilson Is The Man of the Hour Dean Templin Writes
K. U. Dean Finds Many Bureaus But Little Work Accomplished By Them
All Is War At Washington
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 4. 1917
100,000 More People In Wash ington—Many Khaki Uniforms
"It itse to me that the attitude towards Wilson has changed completely. He is easily the man of the hour, and there is universal defence to him."
Such is the word that Dean Olin Templin has written back to his friends at the University of Kansas and now doing organizing work in the formation of the War League of American Colleges, following the approval of his plan by George Creel, chairman of the war on public inic last week.
"It would seem now, that he can do just what he wants in Congress and the people will follow him," he says, "and how fortunate that it is so. What a mess we would have been in if it were otherwise.
"It would seem that half of the people of the nation have been here with some sort of a scheme, so that the natural attitude of everybody is just, 'Good Lord, another one?' It is going to be an exceedingly difficult thing to get a serious consideration of the scheme. I find, too, that there have been already some abortive attempts along this same line, and that fact will make it more difficult, shall feel我 will be perfectly, diligently repeated, repeatedly of course, but will not give up until I am compelled to. Of one thing I am nearly convinced and that is, that the movement should be a purely voluntary one by the institutions themselves, conducted and maintained by them.
"I can see how many have criticized the government for inefficiency but such criticism is largely unfair," he continued. "The fact simply is that in a few months we have tried to increase immune support should have been growing vigorously for twenty years but it we work at all smoothly."
"Dorad advised me not to go near the officials, but if the universities would join in, just go at it. It would seem that every inch of territory has been plastered over by one bureau or another, and then the burea has gone to sleep. There are some concrete citizens of the country in one line or another, which have never met and one of these is on University affairs.
"The they say that Washington never was so full, and it certainly looks it. This morning's paper stated that there are now 100,000 more than ever before in Washington. And the khaki is everywhere—fine-looking fellows too. There is apparently nothing but war in the minds of the people here, Tomorrow those who are willing to go to Thanksgiving dinner are to hang out a flag with a white ribbon attached and any soldier who sees it is to go in and be a member of the family for the occasion."
Home Economics Classes
Make New War Biscuits
The students of the department of home economics, under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Sprague, have discovered a new war food in making good biscuits without using any wheat flour at all. They used one-third each of rice, barley, and oats flour and the result was very satisfactory.
Many Jobs For Holidays
Last summer the members of the department experimented with warbreads. They could not buy the different kinds of flour they needed, such as oats, barley, rice, wheat, and linseed. The Chemistry Building and there with the aid of a small hand mill they made their own flour. This process of making flour was slow and difficult because the grains had to be ground and sifted several times, each time through a mesh screen. In order to make the fine of the proper fineness. Through extensive experiments they learned that to get the best results in bread making, one-fourth of any kind of flour, rice, oats, graham, alfalfa, barley, should be used in combination with white flour. If more than one-third of the quality of the bread decreases in proportion with the amount added.
Lloyd McHenry, secretary of the University Y. M. C. A. Employment Bureau, is looking for men who want work during the Christmas holidays in the City of Denver, paying good wages will be open at that time, according to McHenry.

The War Here and Over There
BULLETIN
President Wilson in his address to the Sixty-fifth Congress at 12:30 o'clock today urged Congress to declare war on Austria. The president asked for legislation to meet railroads and fuel industries that he declared food prices were now based on selfishness rather than on supply and demand.
He asked for more drastic laws for punishment of alien enemies, and suggested confinement to penitentiaries and enforced labor for alien enemies the same as others who commit criminal acts.
In regard to peace the president declared that any peace America makes must deliver the people of Belgium, Northern France, Austria, Hungary, the Balkans and Turkey from domination by Prussian military and commercial autocracy.
Reports from the Russian election indicate that the Bolshevik faction has

Ohio State University Favors Four-Term Plan In Engineering School
Other Colleges At The Colum bus, Ohio School Expected To Favor New Plan
Not to be a War Innovation
Deans of Various Departments Will Act—Board of Trustees Finally To Decide
Columbus, O., Dec. 3. (Special to the Kanan.)—Action favoring the adoption of the four-term plan for the college year at the Ohio State University has already been taken by the faculty of the College of Engineering, it is expected soon by the faculties of the other colleges in the University.
The faculty of the College of Engineering independently investigated the plan which is in use in several other universities in the country and designed to miting such a resolution to the general meeting of the faculty last month. At this meeting the resolution was referred to the administrative council, which is composed of the deans of the colleges of the University and the president.
This council will consider the resolution by asking each dean to take the matter up with the faculty of his respective college. After this consideration has been completed and the attitude of each college obtained, the council will submit a report to the general faculty which in turn will take over responsibility for the Board of Trustees and the President. Final action by the Board of Trustees in favor of the plan would result in putting it into operation.
Dean Alfred Vivian of the College of Agriculture and acting Dean Edwin F. Codington of the College of Engineering have already expressed approval of the plan. The attitude of the other deans will not be known until the report of the Administrative Council has been submitted.
According to Dean Joseph V. Denevine of the College of Arts the university authorities are not inclined to consider the plan as a war measure but to adopt or reject as a plan that would be a good one for times of peace and war. This attitude may mean that definition of proposition will be and hurried on account of the war, but will be the result of careful consideration.

Plain Tales From The Hill
And This One
There is another K. U. man at Domi
phan, and this one is a second *seat* II.
He was walking down the company
stairway and he met a private. The
ignorant man turned to him.
“Don’t you know enough to salute an officer?” asked the second lieutenant, “to teach you so you can forget, forget, forget up there and salute me fifty times.”
The private meekly obeyed.
But along came the major. He paused to enjoy the little scene, and when the private had carried his hand over the fence for the fiftieth time, the major spoke.
"Don't you know," said he, "that an officer has to return the salute of a private? Just so you won't forget to return the fifty salutes of the private."
And the lieutenant did the meekly obeying act.
From Fort Sill
Among the men in camp at Domphan there is a K. U. man, a sergeant. He has a large collection of photographs—photos of all the "only girls." The other day he got them all out and amused, passionately they looked fondly towards them.
Finally he burst out thunder to his
timate murder. away, crushed, he. the you
they are they are they are they are
He Did a Kind Deed
Marie Buchanan is so busy with the glee club (which has a membership of 105 this year) that she forgot to pay her journalism fee. Registrar George O. and the other powers that be issued a mandate thusly and as all students who have not paid their fees must be excluded from "classes."
Professor Flint read the announcement to his eight o'clock class and told them that he had lent her fifty cents so that she could pay the fee and return at once.
Two couples were seated at a front table in Brick's, and one of the girls was reading the movie programs for the coming week.
"Marguerite Clark in 'Mice and Men," said she, "Oh, I want to see that. But still I don't know, Mice and Men—they are all just allie. You know," she exclaimed, "we wear thirteen in our room last week."
Red Cross Will Make Drive For New Members
Every Grown Person Not In Uniform a member, Is
Goal
The War Council has requested the Red Cross Society to have a drive for new members before Christmas. Their plan is that every grown person in States not in uniform should by that time be wearing a Red Cross button.
Every person who joins the Red Cross will be given a button and each house will receive a transparent Red Cross flag with an additional cross to be placed on the flag for each member of the Red Cross in the house.
Upper Class Medics Exempted from Draft By War Department
It is hoped that on Christmas eve every house will have such a flag in the window from 7:30 until 9:00 o'clock to illuminate its colors. Church bells will be tollled and groups of young people will go about the streets singing carols. This plan will be carried out by teachers making this a Red Cross Christmas.
The manager of the state campaign in Kansas is William Allen White. J. N. Van der Vries is manager for Douglas county.
The Zoology Club will meet Tuesday, December 11, instead of tonight, at the Sigma Phi Sigma house. Prof. W. M. Koch will have charge of the program.
Medic Students Asked To Enlist In Enlisted Reserve Corps
May Enlist After Dec. 13
ward
Men Low In The Draft May Enlist In Navy After-
Students of the second, third, and fourth year classes of the School of Medicine may obtain exemption from the second selective draft. This information has been received by Chancellor Frank Strong from Provost and the War Department in response to the telegram sent last week.
The regulations governing the execution of the selective service law say that students of the three upper classes of the medical school who have not been called by a local board for physical examination may enlist in the Enlisted Reserve Corps as provided in the national defense act and if called by a local board may be discharged.
EXEMPT MEDICS FROM DRAFT
First year students, who have been taking the preliminary medical studies are not effected by the regulations.
The regulations also state that those students of the three upper classes of a medical school, who have been called by a local board for examination and physically exempted, and who have not been ordered to military duty, may, by application to the Surgeon General, be ordered at a time before the commission is charged immediately from the National Army for the purpose of enlisting in the Enlisted Reserve Corps of the Medical Department.
The Navy Department calls special attention to the fact that many departments have been filled already, and enlistments are desired now as apprentice seamen, firemen, machinist's mates, landmasters for Quartermaster, (aviation) and landmasters for machinist's mate, (aviation.)
"A man enlisting in the army before December 15 has no chance to be anything more than a private," said Cole E. McBregg after his trip to Fort Leavenworth and to the recruiting stations in Kansas City last week to secure information for the Chancellor.
ENLISTING MEN GET CREDIT
If there are any men though who desire to enlist before the final day set, the University will see that they will not lose the credit for their semester's work. Chancellor Strong is in favor of granting degrees to those seniors who are in good standing and qualified for the subject for consideration before the University Senate at its meeting tonight.
The local boards, which execute the orders and provisions of the selective-service law, are beginning to send out questionnaires to every registrant liable for the next call. All K. U. men, whose number is far enough up on the list to be called, should be careful to ensure that all who register where the registered has his correct address. Each person is responsible for the receipt of this questionnaire and should inform filthis local board or the County Clerk immediately of his address, if there is any doubt about them not having it.
In the Red Cross Membership drive, I have been placed in charge of schools. The main object of this movement is to increase membership and get everybody who is not in the Army, enrolled as a member of the organization. The dollar fee is merely incidental to the movement. The purpose is to save away money that we are back of them, and to show Germany that, as a nation, we stand united in support of the war.
When the drive was on for the Eleven Thousand Dollar Student Loan Program, LLC was distinctly understood that no other solicitations for war funds from professors and students at the University should take place until after the students' payment. I谨诚 strictly to this tacit agreement.
Nevertheless, no one who is not now a member should be deprived the privilege of becoming one, and although no one will be solicited, if any student or professor desires to become a member, he can make application and pay the dollar membership fee at the office of Geo. O. Foster, Registrar.
F. W. Blackmar.

MODIFICATION IS SUFFICIENT
MODIFICATION IS SUFFICIENT
The suggestion that all dances and parties should be abolished at K. U. for the period of the war opens up a question which has been settled from the first of the year insofar as the University is concerned. The persons advocating no social activities no doubt are sincere and inspired by worthy motives, but do they really mean all they say? Is not the correct answer to the question the one which the University has given that K. U. should have fewer and less expensive dances?
From the beginning of the school year the sentiment at K. U. has been against social excesses. This is the spirit that should be fostered. If there is objection on the ground that social functions are needless, it can only be pointed out that social life is a necessary part of education. And the matter of education; it may as well be said, is one of the few things in America today in which the maintenance of normal conditions seems imperative.
But at K. U., effort in this direction has been in vain. The war is being felt by the University. Various forms of war work have crept in to modify the usual routine. Normal life has necessarily been abandoned, but it still remains the ideal. It has seemed expedient to introduce military drill; for men to enlist, and for women to knit; it has seemed wise to curtail amusements, just as in a sense education itself has been curtailed. But as long as there is a semblance of educational work on the Hill, amusement in moderation, whether it be picture shows, parties, or dances, will continue to be in vogue, and in good taste.
THE RIGHTFUL ATTITUDE
What then should be the attitude of educational institutions to the war? They are the single means of securing healthy activity of mind and body. Whatever causes anxiety, subjective states of mind, stimulation of what one might call the "war imagination," should be reduced to the minimum. Objective studies—sciences, mathematics, literature, linguistics, art, history, with wholesome examination of dull records—anything, in short, that will take the student out of himself and away from present imaginings, should be cultivated as never before. Sharp discipline in exacting tasks will do no harm. Save in military instruction, the ulterior aims of the soldier should be taboo. To impose on young men from eighteen to twenty-one the doubts, anxieties, theories, or even the enthusiasms, of older men, is not so well as complete concentration on the subject of study. Patriotism in a teacher is really more subtle than enthusiasm. To arouse interest in the unheard of, to fasten attention upon the processes of thought removed from
the accidents of daily life; this is the kind of patriotism making for the health of mind, for the independent power to think, without which service can be merely impulsive.—Unpopular Review.
SPOONER'S VACATION
Students who remained in Lawrence over the Thanksgiving vacation were met with the problem of having to study in only half of the time that they had planned on, for Spooner Library, where most of the work had to be done, was open only occasionally.
The big K. U. library was closed all day Thursday; the student who was sacrificing his vacation for study did not complain at that. The library opened Friday, but closed promptly at 6 o'clock, so that the student who had planned to study three hours after supper was unable to use his valuable time to do the work. The student saw that he was losing. Saturday was a repetition of another day of restricted hours; the library was closed during the entire afternoon and at night as well.
Surely at a time when the student is doing all he can to keep up his work under extreme difficulties, handicapped by poor working conditions, it would have been just had the library hours been more extended. It was the student who is working his way through the University who suffered most, the student had to console himself with a meager day and a half of part time study, and trust to luck that he would have time at Christmas to make up back work.
THAT BABY BOND
It takes Uncle Sam to provide for those who can not do as much as the other fellow. Several weeks ago the second issue of Liberty Bonds went on sale, the cheapest of which was $50 to be paid cash down or paid in installments. The average student did not have $50 nor a surety of the required $5 a month for installments. Now comes the Baby Bond, put on the market today. It takes $4.12, cash down, or by applying at the postoffice installments will be received. In 1923 that bond costing $4.12 will be worth $5.00. Where else can the University student invest money with better interest and a two-fold purpose?
Students may go to Wednesday night dances, says our adviser of women, if they can't already dance, in short, if the students go there to work and not to play. But the conditions are rather abstruse. Since styles of dancing have changed, and forced the official measuring tape out of business, why not get out a successor to it in the form of a handbook of conditions?
Since most of the trouble in this country is popularly ascribed to German agents, some of the K. U. students are wondering what about certain professors who will "hold over."

Thankgiving is past, and still we may be thankful that we aren't students at Manhattan. Parties or meetings of any sort are taboo on account of the various contagious diseases breaking in Camp Funster
Someone on the Hill said that after the lovely Thanksgiving holidays, it would take a week to get settled down to study, a week to study, and then a week to get ready to go home. Worked out pretty nice, maybe.
When you try to tell the truth, people won't believe you; and when you really are putting out a line that says "I got your getting by," you score 100 per cent.
The student who takes a squint at his watch about every five minutes in class shows the Prof. that he is interested in a timely subject.
We are deciding now what hints to drop the folks so far as Christmas is concerned.
There is many a student who wishes there was such a thing as a camofluaged notebook.

Don't Waste Time Studying-Dockeray
There is no reason why one's studies should interfere with one's education, according to a lecture given yesterday by Prof. Floyd Dockeryer to a psychology class of more than one hundred students. The statement would not have been regarded as unusual if made by a student but is rather unusual when coming from a professor. Despite the time taken to make it and that will be necessary for you to neglect dances and other educational features connected with the University," declared Professor Dockery.
Efficiency was put forth as the remedy for the students crowded schedule. Professor Dockeryar said that by applying efficient psychological methods to their studying the students can be more effective for military training but have more time for picture shows, football, and other necessities.
He showed that by making class work count to the best advantage and by forming new and more efficient methods of study it would be easy to save time. Paying attention would provide the thought that the course would help them to get by with a minimum amount of time spent in studying.

"There is no reason why the junior section of the Jayhawker should not be bigger and better than ever," said Gene Dyer, editor of the section, this morning.

Editors

Rice Lectures About Rugs
Mandeville was the only player from the football squad to report. Other candidates expected from the gridiron are Lashell, Lonborg, and Knox. The players proactively prepare for a winning season are not bright at present it is likely that they will begin to loom up when the squad gets a little more practice. Kansas has lost several good players because of injuries, but the team also have also lost some good men, so Kansas should have a fair chance at the valley championship.

Prof. Shull Reports On Evaporation Station
Tabulations From March To November Are Made For Weather Bureau
The report of the University evaporation station for the season from March, 1917, has just been completed by C. A. Shull, associate professor of botany and conductor of the station. No further measurements of evaporation have been made on April because of the danger of water for the experiments freezing.
The total evaporation for the season was fifty-six inches. July was the driest month; there was an evaporation of two-thirds to two-tenths of an inch of rainfall.
During the month of November there was more than three inches evaporation and two-hundredths of an inch precipitation. The average mean temperature for the month was slightly above forty-seven degrees, Fahrenheit. At 372 miles an hour. The measurement and tabulation in this work is done by Professor Shull for the Weather Bureau service.

Varsity Men To Coach Candidates for Class Football Games Named
First Games December 15- Freshmen Play Juniors And Sophomores Meet Seniors
Plans for a successful inter-class football season are being made by the Varsity men who are coaching the class teams. Every football suit belonging to the athletic association probably will be checked out in the next two or three days, for many women are required to do their bit in upholding the honor of their class on the gridiron.
Coach Jay Bond has appointed the following men to do the coaching: Nielsen, Hull and Wilson for the seniors; Foster, Jones and Woolford for the juniors; Pinnick for the sophomores; and Pringle, Frost and Lonk for the freshmen.
The coaches will not have quite two weeks to whip their teams into shape; so the sooner the men report for work the easier it is. The first games will be played December 15 when the freshmen play the junior and the sophomores meet the seniors. The game deciding game will inter-class following Wednesday, December 19.
Results of Research Published
All freshmen who did not make the trip to Columbia as members of the freshman squad are eligible to play inter-class football.
**LEADING THEIR MOVEMENTS**
"The Insects in Kansas Insects" is the title of the bulletin comprising the results of reseARCHES, conducted by graduate students of the entomology department, which S. J. Hunter, state entomologist, will soon have ready for the use of the students of entomology.
This bulletin consists of four main articles: "The Grasshopper of Kansas"; "The Nassaner"; "The Dragon of Kansas"; and "The Caterpillar of Kennedy; "Seale Insects Injurious to Fruit and Shade Trees," by P. B. Lawson and "The Cankwerw" by Walter H. Wellhouse.
A new class room for recitation purposes has been added to the department of zoology in Snow Hall. It was formed by building a light wood partition across the north end of the basement of the building and cutting off a small port of a hall, formerly used for lockers.

Red Cross Membership Campaign Not to Begin Until After Christmas
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 5, 1917
teer
If You Want To Join Now, You Will Have To Volun-
Members To Get Buttons
Students and faculty members of the University will not be solicited for membership in the Red Cross drive which will be made throughout the whole country before Christmas, because of the agreement that they should not be asked for money for graduation. In 1918, according to Dean F. W. Blackmar, who has charge of the campaign among the schools of Douglas county.
Organizations and Homes Wil All Display Service Flags Christmas
They will have a chance to enroll in the organization and may do so at any time by making application and paying the one dollar membership fee at the office of George O. Foster, Registr. r. This fee, say the managers
drive, is simply incidental
EVERY GROWN-UP WANTED
The purpose of the drive at this time is chiefly to demonstrate to the men in military service, that the entire nation is behind them in the war, and therefore every grown person, not in the service, is wanted as a member of the Red Cross. Each person has a role, the colonel, and every house having one or more members will have a service flag with a red cross for every member of the organization in the house. A demonstration on Christmas Eve is being planned for the whole United States, consisting of the displaying of the church window, the ringing of church bells, and the singing of carols.
TWO DISTINCT CAMPAIGNS
In Douglas County, committees will send from all persons not associated with the county five White member are expected to make the total membership of the county five thousand. J. N. Van der Vries is manager for Douglas County, and Wendy White manager of the state campaign.
RENEWAL OF MEMBERSHIP
F. W. Blackmar.
The following statement was given out this morning: "The Red Cross organization is endeavoring to make all membership dates from January 1st. It will be remembered that most of the present members dated their membership from April. It is desired to make the membership run from January 1st to January 1st. There are many willing, would oblige the Red Cross organization if they would renew their subscription at present instead of waiting until April. As the annual membership fee is one dollar, this would amount to giving the Red Cross from thirty to forty cents, for moving their membership forward about three months. The object of this is to eschew donor system bookskeeping, as a matter of efficiency and economy."

Good Jobs For Chemists But No One To Fill Them
"There are any number of opportunities for chemists to engage in commercial work at present," said Prof. W. A. Whitaker this morning in explanation of a notice he had put on the bulletin board.
"As you can see from urgent plea of the firm mentioned in the notice, men with training in chemistry are needed badly. There are many such openings for the man interested in commercial work now."
Professor Whitaker said the men in his department preferred either to continue their work until further advanced or were subject to draft and could not accept a position. He has been compelled to write several firms that no chemists can be obtained from the University of Kansas.

Herbert C. Hoover, national food commissioner, advocates the fixing of prices on all foods to prevent the charging of excess profits.
The declaration of war on Austria would require the registration, as alien enemies, of nearly a million Austrian subjects now in America.
President Wilson's request for a declaration of war on Austria must with virtually unanimous app. oval in Congress. An early passage of a response to the war would be an indication that Turkey and Bulgaria will be included in the war declaration.

Governor Capper has announced that he will call a Kansas war council to meet in Topeka January 16 and 17. The conference will be a part of a plan to bring the people of America to realize the importance of the war.
The committee on uniforms is advertising for bids for both cotton and wool regulation uniforms for the use of the University regiment. Prof. E. Briggs will have charge of the bids and inspect samples submitted.
Don Hughes, e20, has withdrawn from the University and has enlisted in the radio department of the navy. He will leave for Kansas City in about a week to report. Hughes was vice-president of the sophomore class.
Burt Park, e18, who recently took the examinations for the aviation corps, has received notice from Kansas City that he passed successfully. He is now awaiting his call to the training camp.
Norman F. Strachan, e15, who has been assistant engineer to the sanitary department of the Kansas State Board of Health in their office in Marvin Hall, has gone to Camp Mead.

Squad Men To Close 1917 Football Season With Dinner Tuesday
The Award of "K's" and Electior of Football And Cross Country Captains
McCall May Lead Runners
Pringle, Laslett or Foster Probable Leader of 1918 Sound
The annual football banquet will be held Tuesday night at Oread Cafe, with Coach Bond's varsity team, Coach Laird's freshman squad and the Crimson and Blue cross country runners in attendance. According to Manager W. O. Hamilton a real meal will be served to the men who tied the big knot in the tail of the much abused Tigar Turkey Day.
Football “K’s” and reserve letters will be awarded to the members of the varsity squad who helped make this the most successful year in K. U. football since the memorable all-victorious year in 1980. The fresh team will be formed consistently against the varsity will be given numerals. It is probable that six cross country letters will be given to Coach Rodkey's men, who defeated both the Kansas Argie and Oklahoma teams and showed up well in the annual K. C. A. C. meet in Kansas City. This team would be elected board, upon recommendation of the coaches, will name the men to receive the honors.
Football and cross country captains will be elected at the banquet. Foster, Pringle, Laslett and Woody are eligible for the leadership of the 1918 Jayhawk eleven. Each man is a junior and has starred in the James Hare tournament. The official valley selection has not been announced, all four men have been mentioned on the mythical "all" teams of many sport writers.
It is expected that a smaller number of football K's will be awarded this year than usual, because of the impact that the hat has on immediate use of the important games and thirteen or fourteen men have borne the brunt of the season's work.
Captain Rex Brown and Dan McCall are the only juniors on the 1917 cross country team. McCall seems to be the ideal candidate for the leadership.

Women's Interclass Hockey Series Will Start Soon On Hamilton Field
Coach Pratt Wants More Women to Come Out For Hockey Teams
Lighter Exercise For Weak
Volley Ball, Cross Country Basketball, Dancing, Swimming Are Big Sports
More women athletes are wanted to report for the class hockey teams according to an announcement made this morning by Coach Hazel Pratt. At present each class has only about one half the number necessary for a regular team. A game was played Friday between the freshmen and seniors against a combination of the sophomores and juniors.
"The women who have been coming out for hockey are very enthusiastic over the game." Coach Hazel Pratt said. "They are playing a large number of the women do not report is that they do not understand the game. That should not constitute a reason, however, because hockey is often played by girls and is one of women's major sports."
CLASS PRACTICE HOLD DAILY
Class practices are held every day
Candidates should report at the gymnasium at 4 o'clock every afternoon except Friday to get a stick in the basement and then go to the Women's athletic field south of the gymnasium for practice. On Friday all candidates must walk from the gymnasium after afternoon and then go to Hamilton Field just south of McCook Field, where a regular interclass series will be held.
Eleven players are needed on each team, and but twenty-six candidates reported for the interclass clashes. They were so enthusiastic to have all of the classes represented in the championship series will be held in a couple of weeks providing candidates come out for the different teams at once. All candidate teams will report at Robinson Gymnasium at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
The nineteen women who have organized themselves into a committee to boost hockey, at the University are: Ruth Endacott, Carroll Martin, Mayra Windorh, Violet Baker, Helen Hibbard, Frances Allen, Ruth Adair, Gertrule Young, Jeannene Shafer, Josephine Shafer, Edith White, Pern MacDowell, Julie O'Neill, Nigg, Alarm Mamr, Glissie Blackburn, Freda Daua, Bulma Armstrong, and Mira Enright. Ruth Endacott and Carrol Martin are the promoters.
NINETEEN WOMEN BOOST HOCKEY
Women's basketball hours have been changed from 5 to 3 o'clock. Track men have been using the floor at regular hours for women's basketball and this necessitated the change. Women who cannot go out for basketball at 3 o'clock should see Miss Pratt.
New athletic classes have been organized for women this week and those wishing to enroll should do so at once, according to Coach Hazel Pratt. Some classes have been started expressly for the benefit of the women who feel they should take flight in the cross country hiking classes. Many feel unable to continue hiking during cold weather.
Students doing physiology work under Dr. Ida Hyehe a life-like resemblance to sleuths. But instead they energetic students are often microbes.
Volley ball and tether ball classes will begin Friday. The training squad will also commence Friday, and as this is a squad organized for the benefit of women who are unable to continue the more strenuous exercise, the enrolment is expected to be full with respect to these classes or squads should arrange for hours with Miss Pratt at the gymnasium.
With a jar of water in one hand, a worried expression in the eyes, and a soft cat-like tread, the young protector of student air and heat conditions advances in his hunt for the criminal germ.
We would like to nominate just a few of these students for Scotland Yard fame in one of Conan Doyle's detective tales.
All aesthetic dancing classes will meet downstairs hereafter. The two rooms on the lower floor will be thrown together and classes will be taught with women and men. The hour is 4 o'clock on Tuesday and Thursday.
The pool is now full, and those who wish to swim are required to enroll in swimming classes. This rule will be enforced. Swimming hours for women are at 11, 2 and 4 o'clock on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
Big Athletic Association
Gift Puts Fund At Goa
K. U. is vindicated. It has raised, after dint of great effort, the $11,000 quota for the Student Friendship War Fun. Such was the statement given out this morning by Prof. G. C. Shaad, chairman of the finance committee of the War Council of the University. The drive is now all over except for the collections which are progressing as well as was expected.
That the University was eventually able to raise its quota is largely due to the eleventh-hour gift of the Athletic Department, a fundy an even $1,500. The fund now stands at $11,983.4—nearly $1000 above the desired goal. Incidentally this figure does not include the contributions of the Medics at Roseville nor the amount contributed by the downtown town which should rightly be considered as a part of the University donation.
Plain Tales From The Hill
At Dramatic Club last night Jean Haines was playing the part of a German lady who was suspected of hyphenated sentiments. She became so excited in her efforts to represent the lady's innocence that she cried: "Why, I've been neutralized these thirty years!"
Albert Martin, c21, doesn't work his brain in study to any appreciable degree, but he sure does do some head work. Which is to say that he's drawing the cast of a head over in the garret of Ad.
The library was crowded, but calm, at ten o'clock yesterday morning, when suddenly a girl arose from her chair, flung her books down on the floor, or stood for the door. Those who turned to doodle in khaki-covered arms and energetically kissed the soldier was Bernie McMeel, P15, and the girl was his little sister. He has just received a commission as first lieutenant from the Army Corps Camp, and will spend a few days here before going to his home in Meade.
The captain led his company by the Chemistry Building and along the road that follows the contour of the street car track. There they were from the sight of onlookers by clouds of dust kicked up by their boots.
All the men choked and sputtered and blinked, but the captain bawled out as he wiped the grime from his face. He stood at your side. You are at attention."
Then a private sprang out of ranks and on the captain, clutching him and shaking him ferociously. Another his bloodthirsty spilt him and his bloodthirsty spilt him committing fuls of dust down the captain's throat. A corporal dashed out to pull the privates back in ranks, but when he saw his neatly pressed trousers covered with dust, changed his purpose by hacking the bedrągged commander.
No, this didn't happen, but it's the dream of all the students who drill on the court or are marching or run through the forrest of inches of dust back of Green Hall.
Official Military Notices
1. Regularly, hereafter, on Thursday at 4:00' clock, every commissioned and non-commissioned officer of each company will report to the battalion parade ground, or as direct officers' major for battalion officers' school

4. Each major will be the commanding officer of his battalion company, and will designate such other company officers as he sees fit.
5. Class rooms in the Administration Building will be available for such use as the major may decide for this work.
6. Regular attendance, except when an officer is excused by the major concerned, will be expected and required of each officer and noncommissioned officer. Any officer who fails to report to day meetings, will report the fact to his major at once and be relieved of his office.
Send the Daily Kansan home
Faculty men who have volunteered to lead class room sections will be notified in time for them to prepare for the next meetings. This week, and probably next week, the section work will be displaced by regular drill.
A few more leaders are needed for this work. Those willing to volunteer for this service should confer with the command at Room 105, Gymnasium.
Students Who Enlist May Get Credits If Senate Plan Passes
Seniors To Receive Degrees As Soon As They Join Colors
Senate Plan Is Patriotic
University Students Are Awaiting Final Action to Enlist— Draft Hits Many
Students who enlist in some branch of the army or navy or are called in the draft may receive full credit for this semester's work and seniors may be granted their degrees if they enlist as soon as they leave K. U.
At the regular meeting of the University Senate yesterday afternoon, Chancellor Strong recommended that degrees be granted to all seniors of good standing, and authorized that a commission be established to formulate the recommendations that are to be made to the faculties of the various schools of the University in regard to the credit and degrees for students joining the colors now. The commission is to make known to the various faculties the terms of their recommendations.
Many students of the University are waiting for the final decision of this committee. Already several students, who would be drafted in the next call are withdrawing from school every day to enlist in the army or navy. Committee formulates terms favourable to the university and giving credit for the semester's work, many more men will withdraw to enlist.
At the meeting last night a committee was appointed to consider the possible improvement of the University mail service. The question was referred to the administrative board to discuss the matter and decided to consider the question of beginning the summer session the Monday following quiz week next June.
Newspapers Have Field For Good Work Among Unorganized—Chase
Topeka Capital Editor Says Others Don't Need Press as Champion
Champion
"The great field for good work for the newspaper is not among the already organized forces of society in a community but rather among the unorganized individuals who are without a champion other than the press."
This is the message given to students in the department of journalism today by Harold Chase, editor of the Topeka Capital, who is spending two days at the University giving the embryo journalist the benefit of his experience as a leading state newspaper man.
"The people of a community who have already organized need little aid from the newspapers in furthering their cause. They can take care of themselves but the people who have no common bands of union, who are not members, are the ones for whom the press must fight for justice," said Mr. Chase.
Mr. Chase gave an interesting discussion of the editorial problems of the editor of a daily paper before he took off for lunch with the editorial policies. Mr. Chase illustrated his points by personal bits of experience.
To a class in reporting under Prof. S. O. Rice at 11 o'clock this morning Mr. Chase emphasized the great need for accuracy in reporting. "The reporter must not only be able to see a story in all its truth but he must go on to prove that it is a noble prize of story the points that will interest the reader and yet not to exaggerate that point until it is untrue," said Mr. Chase.
Mr. Chase will talk to classes in journalism tomorrow.
Among the various teams that played in the Army Camp games, was Walter Wood the tiny quarterback of the 1915 football eleven. Wood played right half on the Camp Grant team in its game with Camp Custer in Chicago Saturday before a $40,000 crowd. Wood was playing in the base ball match with Shiverrock Cornell, all-American star at left half, Eddy, of Princeton at quarter; and Schabinger, Illinois star, at backlack. Wood was at least in good company. Incidentally Camp Grant won by one point, 14 to 13.
The County Club Union will meet Thursday night at 7:30 o'clock in the courthouse for the election of officers and the transaction of other important business.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1917
REAL CHRISTMAS
Let's remove the camouflage from Christmas this year and have this greatest of all of the holidays in the form in which it originated. The real spirit of Christmas, sacrifice, has been hidden for years under fanciful ideas, ostentatious giving, useless work and planning, in fact under anything that would leave an impression entirely contrary to the teachings of the Master of Sacrifice whose birthday is recognized world-wide.
Let this year mark the place in your life at which you learned to live. Let this year start the first active world-wide work of a life time. Let this year mark the first real boost to aid humanity.
There are a few days over three weeks to shed the slazy covering of personal be-tissued gifts and make the Christmas of 1917 the first real holiday for generations. There are the same number of days to dress Christmas in sacrifices for Red Cross work, Baby War Bonds and donations for the home company's box that goes to camp.
UNIVERSITY SERVICE FLAG
Again let this be the year to learn to give and give properly and thereby learn to live and live properly.
Eight-hundred and sixty-one stars are now on the service flag of the University of Missouri, and more will have to be added for men in service whose names have just been reported to the Missouri Union which is making the military census. Dedication of the university's service flag by President A. Ross Hill was one of the features of the Thanksgiving alumni homecoming. Lists of those in the different branches of war service were given in the Missouri Alumnus. A large number of university men were among those who received commissions at the second Ft. Sheridan camp.
This report comes from a Missouri paper simultaneously with an announcement from the Hill that the University of Kansas has made arrangements to fly service flags. It will be somewhat difficult to get the names of every student represented in the service without the co-operation of every student in the University. If you know the address and branch of service of any student in Uncle Sam's large family take that name to the dean of the school in which you are working or to the Kansan office and it will be recorded.
Everybody out and everybody help.

It has been the custom for years for many women to learn to swim each summer; these same women who, have danced every winter that they have been in K. U. will have to go to the Wednesday night dancing school now that the adviser of women says that it will not be against the rules for those who are learning to dance.

ON OTHER "HILLS"
The University of Iowa is planning to help reclaim armed soldiers. When the soldier's injuries prevent his return to war or to the vocation which he followed before the war, the man has to make the decision to return to University to determine, through tests, for what kind of work he could be fitted.
Four new buildings are being built on the Nebraska campus. The new ones are Nebraska Hall, Chemistry Hall, Bassey Hall and a Social Service building. These buildings are to be completed by the second semester.
Smallpox epidemic has threatened the University of Nebraska. Every student must be inoculated or show proof that he has been inoculated in the past year before he could enter college. In 1904, 68 percent of the students that are ill attended classes while in a well developed stage of the disease.
Prehistoric Beasts On Museum's Walls
Students who have not been through the west corridor of the top floor of the Museum are missing an opportunity of seeing the new pictures of huge animals that inhabited the earth thousands of years ago. H. T. Martin, curator, will show students through.
"In order to make these restorations," said Mr. Martin, "hard and tedious work has been done both in the field and laboratory. The field collector first locates the fossils by carefully searching the exposures for small fragments of bone. These fossiments are followed up to their age, which very often shows as only a thin layer of material very similar to the formation in which they are found and are hard to be observed.
"After making the find where the specimen enters the cliff, work begins with pick and shovel, sometimes tons of material must be removed before access is gained to the specimen. It may take several days to remove, then trenches are worked all around the blocks and undermined as far as possible. This binds the pieces tightly together. When they become dry they are raised up in clear blocks until they can be loaded ready to ship to the Museum for the finishing touches in the laboratory.
"The laboratory work requires great skill and patience. Sometimes weeks are spent on one specimen, preparing it for exhibition.
"The rocky material in which the specimen is embedded is removed and the bones are hardened and any missing portions are restored with plaster paris. Then the skeleton is mounted in as natural a position as possible. Drawings are made of the mounted skeleton and outlines are worked out showing where the flesh was once present.
"The photographs shown on the pannels in the Museum are the results of this carefully worked out system. No amateur work is done in these pictures, and photoographs of now totally extinct animals as life like as possible.

Plans of Intelligence Committee Were Made At Meeting Last Night
Committee Approves Plan Of Kansan In Starting War Column
A joint meeting of the Intelligence Committee was held last night in Fraser Hall. Pref. F. B. Dains acted as chairman in absence of Dean Templin. This committee is composed of students and members of the faculty whose work is to create an interest in war so that such an interest in economic, saving propositions and general enlightenment concerning the war.
Exact plans of the committee are still indefinite but the work will proceed along the lines of the plan, which will be placed each day maps, pictures, and items of interest about war work, along with references to articles in current magazines on war work. The committee was placed in practically all buildings.
The committee approved the policy taken by the Daily Kansan in starting a war column, advocating that it be made even more intensive.

County Clubs at K. U. To Get Organization Perfected By Christmas
President Glasco Asks That Al Negligent Counties Organize Immediately
Jap Glascar, president of the County Club Union, reports increased activities of that organization are to commence in the near future. A few of the county clubs have been slow to organize, and on account of this, action of the entire organization has been greatly delayed.
Most of the negligent counties, however are being organized, and it is expected that during the Christmas holidays much work can be done toward securing certification of the local government amendment to the Kansas constitution.
During the Christmas vacation most of the county clubs expect to reach residents of their own county through banquets and parties. This plan was followed in during an annual event at a church and during an excellent way of stirring up enthusiasm.
President Glasco asks students from those counties that have not organized to do so at once and appoint a delegate to the County Union. Mr. Glasco feels that more girls should be appointed as delegates as they can work among the women students of the University.
Students from Greenwood county organized last night. The following officers were elected: Willard Glaser, president; Myrna Summa, secretary; the secretary and treasurer; Helen Peffer, delegate to the County Club Union.
Urge Technical Students To Await Coming Draft
In Letter to Chancellor Baker
Says Men Should Stick
To Work
The following telegram was received by Chancellor Strong this morning from the Secretary of War to the United States, who brought the University to wait out the draft.
Washington, D. C., December 5, 1917
Have just been authorized by Secretary of War to request you to inform all your technical students that if they wait until drafted they can upon summons to the draft camp take with them letters from you stating their special qualification, filed with Such letters must be filled with a national census, questionnaire of War Department. Under authority of this telegram, Secretary of War authorizes me to say that every effort will be made to use student's special training in connection with specialized occupations in the army as so to prepare for service fully as great an opportunity through draft as if they enlisted now.
Hollis Godfrey,
Chairman of the Committee of National Defense on Engineering Research
"This is one of the most valuable pieces of information that I have received so far," said Chancellor Strong this morning, "and I hope that it will reach the many students who are undecided about enlisting before December." He added that a work of a technical nature which will be "valuable to the government in the war will be assured consideration because of their training."

Basketball Spirit Runs High With New Men Out
The Varsity basket ball team with Scrubby Laslett out at guard again looked better last night than at any other time this year. Coach Hamilton gave the freshmen a lead of ten points and the varsity overcame it in the first few minutes of play. The final score of the short scrimmage was 14-8, the victory of the team as usual. The team work was better and the play faster than at any previous time this year. Miller led in baskets scored.
An amusing feature of the play, however, came when the second string men scrimmaged the freshmen quintet. The score was tied most of the time at 0 to 1 or 2 to 4. The men played mostly mass formations. Both teams had excellent interference, but hard tackling caused the game to be replete with fumbles. Davis, a football player, was out for the first time last night. He is an old Central high school player and proved to be a fast man on the floor.

Football Atmosphere Along With Good Music To Help Big Party
Tickets Are Selling Rapidly
Refreshments And Programs To Remain Under Cover Until Last Minute
Decorations for the annual Law Scrim, which will be given Friday night at F. A. U. H., are nearly completed. Since the Scrim is given by members of the School of Law in honor of the football team, a Crimson and Blue color scheme will be carried out in the decorations.
FOOTBALL HEROES TO ATTEND
"K" blankets, large photographs of "Uncle Jimmy" Green and Captain "Swede" Nielsen and hundreds of red and blue "K's" suspended from the ceiling will make it a real Kansas football party.
"More of the football players will attend the Scrim than ever before," said Dick Gelvin, one of the managers' morning. "The informal nature o, he dance makes it more attractive to the audience, all of the tickets, have been sold."
Haley's six-piece orchestra, jazz artists from Kansas City, will fill the music for the party. Haley has played on the trombone that is called lazz effect.
TICKETS GO FAST
Gelvin and Armine Bartelesd, managers, have limited the attendance at the dance to 100 couples. Only ten tickets have not been sold. These tickets may be obtained from Gelvin, Raymond Hemphill and Rin Brady.

Many Valuable Dogs Die
In Big $3,100 Fire Monday
The mystery of the refreshments to be served still remains under cover. But in this part of the party as well as in the sort of program to be used no plans have been announced, because of the surprise effect desired.
Eighteen Prize Animals Belong to Professor Young
Killed
Two Airideal dogs and twelve Bull terriers were burned to death in a fire supposed to have been caused by defective wiring, which destroyed the Quivera Kennels of Prof. C, C. Young of the University water testing department, 546 East 19th Street Monday night.
Bloomsburg Ladyburg, whose mother was brought from England, and Marquise, another valuable Bull Terrier, both died in the fire.
Among the dogs killed were Queen Bess, a champion Bull Terrier, and her six pups. On a six weeks trip last spring, Queen Bess, for which Professor Young paid 700, won prizes at Denver, Louisville, Wheelhouse, Columbus, and at Cincinnati where she took first honors.
As a result of the fire two females, representing lines of the best breeding in England and America were lost, and this greatly increases the value of the dogs which would have brought at least $1500 at forced sale.
Beaus dogs are not regarded as personal property in the United States they are not insurable, and the pro- owner a complete loss to Profession Young.
Two cases of measles have been brought to the attention of the University health authorities, but have been properly isolated and are under control. The authorities urge, however, that care be taken to prevent the spread of the disease.
Health Officers Report
Two Cases of Measles
Measles has all the symptoms of an ordinary cold, according to the health authorities. Coughing, and watering of the eyes precede the breaking out on the skin in a motion that can cover one's mouth with a handkerchief when coughing or sneezing in order to prevent the transmission of the germs.
Men of the University faculty are asked to meet in the trophy room of the gymnasium at 4:30 o'clock, Wednesday, December 12, for the purpose of organizing a company for military drill. Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith, who is promoting the formation of the company, expects to have 40 or 50 members of the faculty in the company.

Students Of Chemistry Learn From Experience
Chemistry students who depend upon gas for heat are beginning to understand what the chemistry professor means when he says that the pressure of gas decreases with the temperature. After the mercury had dived from 38 to 7 degrees since 2 o'clock, it disappeared flickered and went out and many students dressed for breakfast in a cold room.
The cold wave was much more severe than the weather man predicted. The temperature fell from 38 to 20.5 between two and seven o'clock yesterday afternoon, a drop of seventeen and a half degrees in five hours. At seven o'clock this morning the thermometer read 7, an additional fall of thirteen and a half degrees or a total drop of thirty-one in seventeen hours.

Seniors Plan to Revel Tuesday Night in Gym With Pre-Holiday“Stew"
An Upperclassman Party, Nature Unknown, Announced By Committee Chairman
A Senior "Stew", designed along the lines of new and original entertainment for all University seniors, was announced this morning by Fred McEwen, chairman of the social committee. The event is to take place next Tuesday night in Robinson gymnasium from 6 to 8 o'clock.
Despite the arousal of considerable curiosity regarding the various interpretations possible of the term "stew" McKeen refuses to disclose the exponents, because the experiments will give assurance that none who attend will be disappointed.
"The "Stew" is essentially a date-less affair," said the committee chairman this morning, "this plan being adopted as a suitable war measure due to the shortage of senior men this year. And besides, a date will not be to a good time as that is being prepared." Of course, it is to be expected that many will resort to methods of the high school age and find someone who will accept their company, after they arrive on the scene, or perhaps line up outside the entrance when the event is over and select the one of their heart's desire, as the women file out to run the quantities, as they uniform with such school days. That's all right but dates beforehand are not needed."
Tags for the "Stew" will be on sale tomorrow morning by a score of senior men and women at twenty-five cents each. In general terms, McEwn outlines the program as consisting of "enough food to satisfy the average human," a series of lessons in the different schools, a half hour or more of social dancing and music throughout the evening.
To Get Student Viewpoint Is Plan of Kansas Alumni
Alumni Visitors' Conference Yesterday Decided to Find Best Way to Serve K. U.
Owls will have picture taken Friday noon, Squires' Studio, 12 o'clock prompt. Be there.
In an attempt to get the student view-point on student activities, a questionnaire similar to the one sent to the faculty last year, will be sent out by the Alumni Association about January 1, to the students of the University. The purpose of the questionnaire is to find out how the Alumni Association may best serve the needs of the University.
The questionnaire was discussed and framed at a meeting of the of the visiting committee of the Association, and the presidents of the classes, sororities, fraternities, Women's Student Government Association, Men's Student Council, the Faculty editor, and news editor of the Daily Kansan, which was held in Fraser Hall yes-terday afternoon.
Homer Talbot, Kansas representative of the Nat'l Municipal League, which met in conference the week of November 21-27, at Detroit, Mich., on Wednesday, for a potential association for the coming year. Dr. John A. Fairly, of the University of Illinois, representative from that state was elected vice-chairman, and Claude H. Anderson of Prince George's County, representative from New Jersey, secretary.
Homer Talbot Chairman
Of Municipal League
The chief thing accomplished in the meetings, according to Mr. Talbot was the organization of a conference on state municipal leagues. Such an organization was desired because at national conferences the subject of individual improvements can be discussed only in a general way. Consequently these improvements must be brought about by the organization of the states. The organization of the work of a committee of the National League on the subject of the cooperation of state civil organizations.
Some other subjects discussed were: Principle Activities of the State Leagues; War Service of the Cities; Associate Members; Municipal League Committees; and Public Affairs. At the time of the discussion, a report "State Municipal Leagues" was presented by Mr. Talbot.
The letters which the students will receive are to contain questions on social, athletic, and various other student activities, to determine student interest in opinion of these activities.
German Language Finds New Students In Spite Of Antipathy to Huns
Thurnau Says We Are At War With Hohenzollerns Not With Goeths
In spite of the nation-wide anti-athyropy for all things German, the study of that language is holding up remarkably well at the University. Though there are less students than last year entered in the courses, as most of those filling groups prefer to take Spanish or French, the instructors say that very few have dropped German since the classes commenced.
"I have a class of twenty-three," said Prof. H. C. Thurrain, head of the department, "which, I believe, is the largest class in the German department," Ms. Thurrain has drapped the work for any reason whatsoever. I think this indicates as clearly as anything could, that the students are not letting their patriotism interfere with their education. Everyone seems to understand that we are at war with the Hohenzollern with the Schillers and Goethets.
"We expect the enrollment to fah at the end of the semester," he continued, "but we always look for a falling off of about twenty-five per cent at such times. Students taking German merely to fill out groups usually have sufficient credits at the end of the semester." The same student This gives us more time to devote to the students taking the advanced courses."
"There is a smaller enrollment in the German department than last year," said Prof. H. O. Krusse, "but that is the case with all other departments as well. None of the students have dropped German to take French or Spanish, for this is not allowed allowance. Please be well educated. I think that, in spite of any anti-German feelings they may have, the students are doing as good work and taking as much interest in the subject as ever."
Miss Ester Wilson, instructor in German, expressed the opinion that the students were staying with the work this year even better than usual. "I have had only two students drop out of class," she said. "It is a much lower average than usual. We can always depend upon a certain percentage of those in the classes dropping out because of failure or for other reasons, but the number has been steadily increasing." She would say that even greater interest than usual is being shown this year."

The privilege granted students of the University to attend the Wednesday night dancing class at a downtown hall has been withdrawn by University authorities because students, both men and women, known to be excellent dancers were found at the dance last night by two investigators sent by the W. S. G. A. abusing the privilege.

Blackmar to Hopkin's Funeral
The two women delegated by the W. S. G. A. and the Senate to attend the class last night and report on conditions of the course. You pay an entrance fee into the class. This was a noncompetition to the condition made that every student pay his or her own tuition for a lesson that all University rules be observed.
Eight University women and several University men were recognized by the two investigators last night. All but one of the students stayed after 10 o'clock, according to the report of the two investigators.
At its regular monthly meeting last night, the Kansan Board, governing body of the Daily Kansan, named Harley E. Holden, the present news editor to succeed Dorothy Cole as editor-in-chief. Millard Wear, who has been assistant to Holden for the month just past, was chosen as news editor, and he was named Kevin Palmer to act as associate editor for the coming month.
To attend these Wednesday night dances hereafter will be an infringement of the University Senate rule that no student, man or woman shall attend a mid-week dance for social purposes, according to the edict from Mrs.. Eustace Brown, chairman of the committee of Students' Interests.
Herman Hangen was elected editor of the Plain Tales column to succeed Marjory Roby, while Vivian Sturgeon will take the place of Mary Burris. The directors elected will take office Monday and continue in service for one month.
Plain Tales From The Hill
The uniting merchants are still pestering the poor girls with advertising matter suggesting what to send him for Christmas, and the girls would like her to buy fifty khaki handkerchiefs with the national flag embroidered in each corner and a lot of that Dear-Kiss brand of cigarettes which are so widely advertised but which 'he' owns them with all of ignominy in the cigarette line.
Girls need hesitate no longer, for Harold T. Chase has brought us a new—brand new—idea. It's a long, long trail back to where the idea started, but the story of it is something like this.
Two In One
Mr. Chase's young daughter has a college chum who wrote a story about a joyous Christmas at the front. According to the story, the soldiers went wild with joy over a shipment which reached them by mistake.
Maurineen Clark was trying on a hat. Struck by the fact that it gave her a faint resemblance to some famous man in history, she folded her arms and growled out, "I am Napoleon crossing the Delaware!"
All men of all times have suffered from some variety of pest. But one of the most effective moderators of pest is your world is your roommate's typewriter.
Thus it would appear that what our men are longing for is dolls. Retailers of dolls, get ready to supply them. And there's a down tomorrow to buy one for him.
In this particular case down on Indiana Street, the machine moves from room to room in the afflicted house. About eleven o'clock last night the freshman, turning wearily over in bed on hearing the door open, turned away, coming very soon coming to bed. But no, she lugged that typewriter. Spurred to anger he meek freshman groaned. "What! That beast with us again?"
A small black and white dog was huddled up on a step half way up Fraser fire escape this moning. He must have visited a physics class where he was given a letter of his practical application of his education, the dog looked rather cold.
The Fresh Kid created some excitement down at her house yesterday. When the girls came trooping home, she met them at the door with an excited, "Jane has disappeared!" In answer to their frantic questions she assured them that Jane was gone, vanished, completely swallowed up. When the supply of tears was calling forth the rest of the chiefs, the most Determined One said, "Well, it may not be much use, but I'll call up the police."
"No, don't do that," said the Fresh Kid with dangerous calm, "You see we really know what became of Jane."
In answer to the one big WHAT,
the Fresh Kid replied as she made
for the stairs, "Why, the Radiator!"
Madge Brown went to a dance last week. She had a date for a fraternity party—but she broke it when she met a girl with the fraternity's dance. Then she got a chance for a keen date for the Varsity, and she broke date number two. And at last a third fraternity met her way, and she broke the Varsity date.
As she came in from the dance, her r. m. said, "Mudge, I stayed awake to see whether you came with the man you went with or not. I thought you might have found one you liked still better."
Professor Hellebler defines a University as a reaction between faculty and students. Of course the profits of the university require them into an early grave, but—
Final Tryout Tonight
The final tryout for the Dramatic Club play will be held in Green Hall tonight from 7 to 8 o'clock. Twenty-six people were chosen for this from the seventy-five who appeared for the first tryout last night. A modern war play will be presented by the Dramatic Club after the Christmas holidays.
County Club Union Starts Active Work On Income Amendment
First Business Meeting Will Be Held at 7:30 o'Clock Tonight
Officers Will Be Elected
paign
Growth of State Schools Depend On Outcome of Cam-
The plan of campaign that the County Club Union will conduct this year for the Income Amendment will be made by a selection of new officers for the Union will take up part of the session. The most important office to be filled is that of president, for he must direct the装修 and see that it gets started right.
The first business meeting of the County Club Union will be held at 7:30 o'clock tonight, Room 110 Fraser. This will start the active work of the union in the big drive for the Permanent Income Amendment that will be voted on in the state election in the fall of 1918.
WILL BENEFIT UNIVERSITY
Because many University students do not realize that the interests of the University are at stake the main director of the campaign must have a strong personality. For this reason all delegates from all county clubs in the state are urged to be present at the meeting. If in any club no president or delegate h s been elected this fall, Willard Glascar, president of the university, will represent a member from last year to attend the meeting and represent his county.
Plans for giving banquets during the Christmas holidays at the county seat of each county that is represented at K. U. will be made at the session of the university clubs from the University held these banquets, inviting the alumni and high school seniors of the county, not only stirring up sentiment for the University of Kansas but also making fundings for the Permanent Income Bill.
The partial effect of these meetings was seen last winter in the session of the state legislature when the Income Bill was passed as one of the three amendments that are to be voted on in the coming election by the people of the state. Mr. K. U, County Club Union alone and by means of its work to form similar organizations in other schools and finally a state organization that had a great deal to do with the successful passage of the bill in the legislature.
 briefly, the Permanent Income Amendment which makes so few people of the state and less by many of the students of state colleges, is a part of the state law which will mean that state educational institutions of higher learning are to have permanent fund on which they receive such far enough in advance to make the growth of the schools constant from year to year.
UNION IS EFFECTIVE
WILL BETTER CONDITIONS
By means of the tax, which is actually no additional tax, the state schools will be able to improve housing conditions and conditions of the students as well as the teachers in these schools. The one big thing that the workers for the amendment have to fight is the opposition which claims that any tax on taxes has no basis for such an argument but every amendment brought up so far has been defeated if there has been no support of it.
The latest officers of county clubs are those of Shawnee county who were elected at a meeting of students from Iowa at Tuesday afternoon. They are: president, Milton Weaver secretary, Lillian Gleissner; treasurer, Marjory Roby.
Official Military Notices
All those wishing to participate in the inter-class football series must make a statement to that effect at the office so that record may be kept accurately. Coaches of the various class teams will make a daily report of those present at practice and persons not present for practice will be marked absent, the same as if they had missed regular work. Positively no one, will be excused except as they get permission at the office.
"How Do Science and Religion Correlate?" is the subject of the talk to be given tonight at 7:15 o'clock in Myers Hall by Dr. R. A. Schwegler. The meetings are not for Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. members only as the general understanding has gone out but are for every student of the University. The meeting lasts one hour. There will be special music.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1917
K. U. TO THE FRONT
Again the University of Kansas has proved to the state that it is equal to any task set before it. When the campaign for $11,000 for the Students' Relief Fund was started two weeks ago less than 200 students and members of the faculty felt assured that the apportionment would be raised. Townpeople said that it would be impossible for the University to raise one-third of the Lawrence apportionment which was $35,000. The city represents more than 12,000 persons; the University represents 2200 including faculty and students. The committee on the Hill had about one-fifth of the field to draw from and was expected to raise about one-third as much as Lawrence
The city made its apportionment. The University exceeded its apportionment by $83.40, making a total of $11,983.40.
READY TO SERVE
The faculty and students of the University are to be congratulated and the promotion force that made the success possible are to be commended for their untiring interest and ability to handle the situation.
The latest step to keep students informed on current topics and necessarily broadening his scope is the placing of the large bulletin boards in the various buildings on the campus. Every day interesting data and illustrations of the war are placed on the boards and every effort is made to see that the news is kept up to date. Each week digests of the news of the preceding week is posted and special writers follow the events of the day for the news bulletins.
There are many things to be learned at the University besides those things in text books. The broadening of his view-point may do as much for a student as would reading half of the books in the library. Learning to meet people and to impress them may be worth all of the technical courses a student could take.
Students should appreciate the trouble that is gone through in keeping the news timely. They should take advantage of the service and include the examination of the board in their daily recreations. They should take pride in being informed on the topics of the day and here is that opportunity.
CAUSE FOR WORRY
The decision was reached some time ago that uniforms were not to be compulsory. No kick was made on that and students in the drill classes continued to go to classes in street clothes. Now comes the latest extreme in giving exercise. Last week students rolled playfully over the golf links at the direction of the training officers. Their clothes were no doubt damaged to say nothing of their feelings.
The exercise could as well be given in a sane method with certainly
as good results. It may seem a small matter to call attention to but it is these little points that cause dissatisfaction when there is really nothing to be gained by letting them take place.
Billeendsdaktebloat is what happened to Stockholm, Sweden, on account of the war. It isn't a plague, or an army, or a peace society, but the name of a new corporation organized for spinning and weaving fabrics out of paper.
Some of the men are complaining of sore muscles and stiff joints due to the setting up exercises in military drill. Perhaps, if the request were made the Senate would start a checker or mumble-ppe company for these unfortunate peers.
"There is no royal road to learning." Neither is there any elevator to the fifth floor of Fraser Hall.
CAMPUS OPINION
To the Editor of the Kansan:
It is evident that there is an air
famine at K. U. At a time when
there are many cases of measles, sore
throats and other contagious sickness
it would be a wise move if the faculty
would co-operate with the Board of
Health and make an effort to keep
some resemblance of ventilation in
class rooms. The majority of students
prefer to keep wraps on during
classes and lectures than to be for-
ced to breathe the same air that per-
manently causes severe breathal-
hundreds of times. If nothing else
can be done, can't the rooms be thor-
ughly aired for ten minutes between
classes?
Another suggestion is that the student take it upon himself to see that there is more good air. Let the student close the windows be opened or do it himself.
Stifled Student
Columbia University's annual report for the year ending June 30, disclosed for the first time that the navy department has formally established at the University the United States navy gas engine school, under direction of Professor Lucke, and that several hundred men are being trained for engineering service on submarine chasers.
Hereafter all non-athletic activities will be under the supervision of a board of supervision for non-athletic organizations which has just been established at the Princeton university. The board is responsible for trained before any such society is formed and before any performances are given.

More University Men Granted Commissions At Ft. Sheridan Camp
Former K. U. Students Score Heavily In Officers' Training School
Many former University of Kansas men will begin active duty as combatants in the war, but after a three weeks' leave of absence which was given at the close of the Second Reserve Officers' training camp at Fort Sheridan, III, November 1943.
Among the men from this University who received commissions are some star athletes, widely known in Missouri Valley circles. Col. A. J. Ryan, the commandant who issued the commissions, speaks highly of the quality of the officers trained in the last camp, and the mature than the officers who secured commissions at the first training, camp.
Alpha Brumage, Beloit, graduated in 1912 and heads the list of commissioned men as a major of field artillery. Mr. Brumage was captain of the football team here several years ago.
Another man to win a lieutenancy in infantry is R. L. Treweke, Wichita, a junior in the college last year. He withdrew to enlist in the army last April. Mr. Treweke is a member of the Shipman School and the International Polity Club here. He had made good records as a track athlete.
Ray Dummire of Lawrence, captain of the basket ball team in 1914-1915 was commissioned a first lieutenant. Winfred W. Hawkins, instructor in the department of German at K. U. he received a second lieutenancy.
J. M. Schwain, a Hutchinson newspaper man who left the University in 1907, was made a second lieutenant. Paul A. Diehl, who graduated from the School of Engineering in 1914 was commissioned as second lieutenant in artillery. Mr. Diehl belonged to the Theta Tau fraternity.

"We are planning a big campaign with the co-operation of the leading physicians of the state," writes Mr. Clapper. "I like this work much better than newspaper work, although it requires many compensations, including salary, which makes it preferable to hack work on a newspaper." Mr. Clapper asks to be remembered to all his friends at the University, and essees C. A. Dyskrai I was he graduated in '16.

"The Frenchmen wear little marks on his coat sleeve to show the service and wounds, and also his rank," he said. "The sergeant whom we work with has four maks on his left sleeve. The first one shows one year of service in the trenches, and the other three indicated six months of service each. These marks are between the elbow and the elbow cleav. Below the elbow and near the wrist is the rank mark. It is a single strip of gold band if he is a sergeant and is set diagonally on the sleeve. On his right sleeve are two marks similar to the service stripes that indicate the number of wounds."

Prospects For Directory Are Not Encouraging
Innes, Bulline & Hackman
At a meeting of the Men's Student Council last night plans for a student directory were discussed. The names of students of the University probably could be included in the city directory at a cost of twenty-cents a name, but the council decided that not all the students would be willing to do this. It would be better to include the university directory because the Registrar does not have the phone number of the students this year.

Baby Bonds Now Ready For Distribution Over Counters of City Banks
New Issue Of Small Denomination Designed For Small Investor
"Baby" war bonds have arrived in Lawrence and will be put on sale soon by the different banks, the postoffice, and probably the main business houses. Watkins National Bank planned to start its sale Thursday morning, but as far as could be learned the postoffice has not yet received its supply from the government. In case they can not get these certificates some assistance may be given by the Treasury by lending enough certificates to take care of the demand until the supply reaches here. The bond scheme was planned by W. G. McAdo, secretary of the Treasury upon somewhat the same plans as those of the other countries of Europe. It has taken Secretary McAdo considerable time to figure out a way to keep these bonds from going out to the Department stores already are announcing that these bonds will be accepted in cash as payments on
Stock companies real estate firms say they will accept Liberty Bonds at par for payment on a particular stock or a city lot. All this tends to make the bonds serve as currency and the difficulty is even more obvious. However, as the officials want every one in the country to become a partner in the war enterprise they will continue the offer.
The bonds are within reach of the student as they cost $4.12 and within five years, or after 1923, may be recalled for the bond discounted before then and the holder of the bond can get back his money, plus three and one half per cent interest. The bond at its maximum should therefore draw interest at four per cent.
If the student does not have the $4.12 he can buy a twenty-five cent war savings stamp. With the first stamp bought a little book is furnished and this may be used for the remaining stamps.

Football Team to Elect 1918 Captain at Annual Banquet Tuesday Night
Laslett, Foster and Pringle Named As Possible Candidates For Honor
Award Letters At Smoker
Fifteen Men Likely To Get "K's"
And Twenty Freshmen To
Get Numerals
The election of a captain for the 1918 football team will be held next Tuesday night at the annual football banquet at the Oread Cafe. The race for the captaincy appears to be between Lasius, Foster, and Pringle. The election of a captain of the cross country team will also be held at that time. McCall seems to be the most likely candidate for the honor.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 7, 1917.
Sometime in the next week the annual football smoker will be held at which time the K's and the reserve letters will be awarded players, and numerals will be presented to some members of the freshman squad.
It is believed that there will be fourteen or fifteen K's awarded to the members of the Varsity squad There will probably be twenty freshman players that will receive numerals.
Definite plans for the smoker have not been made yet. There probably will be speeches by the coaches and several members of the squad. The team has 7 footed season which has been very successful for the University.
Effectiveness of Draft Lessened By Enlistment
Prof. John Ise Emphasizes Importance of Remaining In University
In commenting upon the message sent to Chancellor Strong by the War Department, which was read in the classes Thursday, Prof. John Ise of the department of economics to prevent to prevent hurried enlistment of students."
The message in effect said that students in technical work should remain in school and wait for the draft, as the government would make an effort to place these men when drafted into law. When summoned the students can take letters from the Chancellor stating their special qualifications.
Economic Students Plan For New Commerce Club
"College students do not generally realize," continued Mr. Ise, "as do some of us older men, the great value of men with college education. If this war lasts for some time as long as it does, we need a big need for college men in industrial and economic organizations as well as if the reconstruction after the war.
"By enlisting at this time students not now subject to draft tend to reapply," he said, in a measure defeat the purpose for which the draft was instituted.
First Step In Reorganization Taken At Meeting Last
Night
The Commerce Club was reorganized in a meeting held last night at the home of Clarence Gorrill. New members were elected and plaus for the year discussed. Only seven members of the club were allowed to attend school this year. Most of the others are in some branch of military service.
Senior members elected to the club are: H. H. Lytle, G. W. Coffelt, H. B. Hunn, A. B. A. Lauer, R. H. Metcalf, H. Johnson, G. H. Dolbore, H. H. Giger.
Junior members elected are: P. H Albach, C. D.Citriet, R. P. Hemphill, R. B Holloway, C. E. Landon M. M. Mee, J. G Lyne N. H. Hobbett
The purpose of the organization is to promote a professional spirit in the department of economics, to raise the scholastic standard of the department, and to bring faculty and students into closer relationship.
Temporary officers elected to serve until the next meeting are: C. M. Gorrill, president; and G. M. Smith, secretary and treasurer. The next meeting will be held Wednesday, December 12 at 7:30 o'clock at the Sigma Nu house. Permanent officers for the year will be elected then.
Economic and war problems will be studied in the meetings this year. Professors from other departments will be讲座 on appropriate topics.

Third Edition of Poems By Wattles Published
The third edition of Kansas Sunflowers, a collection of poems written by Kansas authors and gathered together by Willard Wattles, was published last week. The book contains a large number of poems of other authors, as well as writers, together with several poems contributed by University students.
The first edition of Sunflowers was published in the fall of 1914 through Mr. W. C. Simons, who had in 1911 printed the first works of Harry Kemp and Mr. Wattles. In the fall of 1916 A. C. McClurg brought out over 2,000 copies of the second edition.
Among some of the most interesting poems in the edition which was published last week are: "Polks by" and "The University Daughter" by Dorothy Stratton, a student in the University, "Cactus" by Witter Bynner, "To The State House Dome" by Anna Bale Garvey, of Topeka, "To A Shoe-shiner" byincea and "Citizen Greet and a dialect poem "Prechant Bill" written by Percy Young, a colored student who attended the University a few years ago.

No Hope of Closing K. U.
To Solve Coal Problem
Fond hopes of two months' vacation, cherished dreams of sleep unbroken by the whistle's summons, thoughts of escape from the wintry blasts that sweep Mount Oread, visions of school in a climate that suggests Hawaiian shores and "ukes." All of these hopes and more, too, have been borne in the fruitful mind of the student since the announcement of Hawaii City Schools for Saturday stated that maybe the coal administrators might close schools and colleges during January and February in order to conserve the coal supply. Those hopes probably never will materialize.
Mrs. Esterly, secretary to Dean Templin, said today: "There is not the slightest likelihood that this school will be asked to suspend for two months. Even though the proposed scheme should be adopted. Our bins have a sufficient supply of coal to last the entire winter, and not the slightest difficulty through lack of heat is expected."
K. U. Grad Dies
Word was received here this afternoon of the death, early this morning, of Don Cater, who was graduated from the School of Engineering in 1908. His death occurred at El Paso, Texas. Since leaving the University Mr. Cater has been engaged in the drug business at Marceline, Mo.
Benjamin F. Fleigenbaum, graduate from the University in 1890, was the only candidate who passed the civil service examinatipn, in Topela Koehler's case, to Food and Drugs. He will take this office some time in the coming year.

Law Scrim Tonight In Honor of K. U. Football Team Will Be Informa
Indications Are That 200 Students And Gridiron Players Will Attend Party
K. U. society will pay its annual homage to the football team tonight at the annual Law Serim in F. A. U. Hall. At 10 o'clock this morning the decorators had finished their work, the caterer was bringing in his supplies, and Managers Dick Gelvin and Armin Barteldes had announced that all of the 100 tickets to the affair had been sold.
Thirty football men, a large number of faculty people, and 200 students—Laws and others—will attend the party. There will be no grand piano performance; the music will start at 8:30 o'clock and the big dance will be on.
Decorations are in Crimson and Blue, and are the -last word in artistic style. Small "Ks" are suspended from the wall by windows, the hinges of the windows, and the pictures of traditional football heroes are hung about the walls. Uncle Jimmy Green's picture is there, too. No Law Scrim would be complete unless a photograph of the team or a picture of the football were conspicuously in evidence.
The committees in charge of the party have worked hard in preparing features for the event, and all who attend a novel evening of entertainment.
For the first time in the history of the Scrim, the party will be informal. Cabs are taboo also, according to the managers.
Tags For Senior Stew Appear With the Snow On Oread This Morning
*Party Scheduled For Tuesday Night From 6 to 8 o'Clock*
In Gym
Yellow tags, labelled "Senior Stew" appeared on the campus this morning on the coats of many students and were being sold by a score of senior men and women. It marked the beginning of the active campaign to arouse interest in and to insure a large attendance at the enclosure in the gymnasium on Tuesday night in Robinson Gymnasium from 6 to 8 o'clock.
"This is primarily a class affair," said Fred McEwen, chairman of the senior social committee this morning, "and we not only want every senior there for two hours of real fun, but we must to impress upon them the idea that they have to choose us to attend and make the function a success.
"The idea of a senior dance, before Christmas at least, seemed impractical, so the 'Stew' was decided upon as something that every senior, no matter how busy, could spare time to attend. We have arranged for music throughout the evening and arranged for an outdoor evening ranged, a series of stunts will be put on, followed by dancing until 8 o'clock.
Herbert R. Coleman and W. M. Alberty, who were graduated from the School of Medicine at Rosedale last spring, are in Lawrence on their way from Mare Island, California, to the Atlantic Coast where they will report for duty as assistant surgeons in the navy.
"This party should have the support of every senior because it is quite probable that this will be the group to get together members of the class to get together—after Christmas it is likely that some of the men will not be back and others are leaving every day. For these reasons we considered a farewell senior party."
They are two of seven men from the School of Medicine who went to Mare Island and enlisted in the Naval reserve immediately after receiving their degrees last spring. All of the seven took the examination for assistant surgeon in June and six of the seven passed. Only one school, the University of Pennsylvania, outlasted the course taught in the percentage of men who passed the examination. The other five who went to Mare Island to enlist are: P. M. Drake, H. R. Boone, C. R. Riney, H. E. Ragle and S. W. Connor.
And speaking of geography, Joe Pratt takes the first prize. In economic geology the prof asked where the deposits of some antillettian age "ofWhy?" said Joe, "Right around Salt Lake City."
McEwen still declines to announce the details of the entertainment, preferring to leave the purchaser of the yellow tags in line for a surprise.

The suit was brought by the Central Specialty Co. of Kansas City, who allegue that the W. & W. Chemical Co. of Lawrence, which is owned by the three defendants, has infringed upon their patented process for the manufacture of the oil of mustard, at present a very valuable product. The firm's enforcement firm's counter-claim is that the process is a well-known one, being taught in all chemistry text-boks, and is therefore not patented.
White, formerly principal of the Kansas City, Kansas, schools, was a partner in the Central Specialty Co., which was at that time engaged in the manufacture of various specialties, including oil of mustard. Finally White decided to work but White saw that one member was intending to take over the greater part of the stock, so left the company. Since the European war has cut off the importation of an important ingredient of the oil and as its price rose, it has 48 White decided to look for a substitute for the unobtainable ingredient
He entered the University, and after four weeks steady work in the chemistry laboratories, found a satisfactory equivalent in the form of sulpho-sodium cyanide. His researches attracted the attention of Whelen, an American manufacturer and the two consulted with Prof. F. B. Dains and other experienced chemists, all of whom approved the new method of making the oil.
Together with McCarty, Whelan and White former the W. & W. Chemical Co., about a year ago, Whelan resigning his position at the University, which he had held for three years. A manufacturing plant was established on Massachusetts street near the court house.
Students In Departments Must Undergo Oral Quizzes Weekly On World Events
Study of Current News Required By Journalists
Oil of mustard is an important part of practically all patent limiments. Since the beginning of the 19th century, it has greatly because of its use in the manufacture of tear shells and similar forms of war materials.
The faculty of the department of journalism is considering the adoption of measures which will promote the study of current events among students taking work in journalism. The faculty feels that events happen particularly to students doing work peculiarly to students taking work in this department.
The first measure that will be adopted is that of an oral quiz on current events at the beginning of each week in every class in the department. The second measure is an oral quiz on all of the topics in all examinations in the department will deal entirely with current events.
The regular yearly recognition of the Y. W. C. A. will be Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock in Myers Hall. His presentation will be accompanied by Mary Brownlee, chairman of the membership committee, urges all new members to be present. Those who have signed membership cards the first this year are asked to meet with the chairperson and promptly at 3 o'clock. Mary Brownlee will lead the meeting.

Y. W. Holds Special Service
Mr. Trigg To Speak Sunday
F. C. Trigg, editorial writer on the Kansas City Star, will address students at the Vesper Services in Myers Hall Sunday afternoon at 4:30. Mr. Trigg's subject will be "A Message to University Students." Mr. Trigg gave a series of talks to students in journalism last year.
Some students do not keep posted on the happenings of each day and it is believed that many of those students know every student to read the papers thoroughly.

"Dates are never a requirement but an incident at one of the big informal get together affairs. In the past it was just a casual meeting so incidental that they are almost forgotten," said Miss Morabaugh this morning. "However, dates are quite all right and it will be well to make them now, if any young man care
Snarring Match
Details of the party will be announced later through the Kansan and campus posters, but a definite program of entertainment in which every guest will have an active part is already planned.
Plain Tales From The Hill
A fine example of a faculty-student sparring match of wits took place in the 8 o'clock class in Public Finance.
"Mr. Gieger," said the Prof, "discuss the French Business Tax." "Why," replied Mr. Gieger, "er, er, it is a business tax in France."
"You are right," cried the Prof,
"that classes of business are named in lieu of
Thus encouraged, the student stalled on, "Classes depending on the various businesses, and on—er, er—on conditions."
"Class A, for instance?" queried the professor.
"Really," admitted the regretful McTiger, "I am sorry, but I can't treat
Then the professor waxed sarcastic, "Mr. Gierger," said he, "That's really pretty good." He did not add the hard case considered it pretty good stall.
Coins—dated from 1717 to 1917,
stamped from India to Canada, from
South America to China—coins of all
varieties are included in the collection
of Nattie Armel, c'20. Armel has a
collection of over one hundred curious
coines. Among them is a fifty-eight-
gold piece, a three-cent piece, and a
nickel which was issued without
being stamped with the date. This
nickel has been gold plated and
passed as a five-dollar gold piece.
Incitated by certain sentimental newspaper stories which pictured our soldiers as perishing of lonliness, the sisters in Alpha Delta Pi decided that they were not doing their patriotic duty.
Accordingly, each girl sought to open a correspondence with a poor, homeschold soldier. Edith Whicher, on the recommendation of a friend, wrote to an unknown man in the town of Brooklyn for startling. Edith was called to the phone one night to be informed by a man's voice that he was answering her letter in person and wanted to call. As she thought he was in Southern California, you can imagine that the young lady registered console shock. He was persistent, however, and finally arrived at the house.
He proved to be Bert Coleman, former K. U. student, who was stopping to say farewell to the old Hill and then taking which he had just been transferred.
When it is a question of being patriotic, you never can tell. No, you never can tell whether the solider was on duty or not. The professor or a coal heaver. It's a thrilling gamble, say the Alpha Delta Pi's.
K. U. spirit is hard to get away from. Albert Koepff, student in journalism last year, is newspapering somewhere in Nebraska this year. He heard about the game. He wrote this:
"I have no desire to unmask ya"
But a question that I'd like to ask ya

'Why did K. U. Beat Nebraska?'

Active Work Starts To Pass Income Bill At General Election
Willard Glasco Will Head County Club Union Of University
Put Pictures In Jayhawker
Banquets and Parties Planned For High School Seniors During Vacation
The County Club Union held an election of officers last night and also decided to start an active campaign for the Permanent Income Tax. Mr. Glasco attended at the next general election, Willard Glasco was unanimously re-elected president of the organization to serve another year. James Scott was elected vice-president, Helen Peffer, treasurer and John Montgomery, treasurer.
The principal work of the Union, as decided upon at the meeting, will be to put the merits of the Permanent Commission and the members of the state. A number of the counties have not organized yet and President Glasco especially urged that all such counties organize at once and get back of the movement that will better conditions of all the educational and penal institutions.
PICTURES IN JAYHAWKER
In order to bring about more enthusiastic and co-operative work among the students of the various counties, it was voted to have a section of the Jayhawker set aside for group pictures of the various county councils, as well as Union with a definite, concise article defining the Permanent Income Amendment. It is planned to have every student in the University represented in this section of the annual so that the voters of the state will believe in the University as a whole believes in the merits of the Income Amendment.
In order to convince the voters of the state that the bill is worthy of consideration it will be necessary for all students in the state institutions to understand the bill so that they can talk intelligently on the subject. Amendment 3 requires Amendment the last two or three years and has prepared literature on the subject which he has left at the Daily Kansan office to be distributed.
PLAN BANQUETS
Plans are being worked out by presidents of several of the counties to hold banquets and parties in their home counties during the Christmas holidays to which the seniors of the various high schools in the different counties will be invited as guests. An offer will then be made to get a scholarship from the school district to payin. Good points about the University, and the advantages it offers, will also be discussed at the banquets and parties.
The University Alumni Association will furnish speakers free of charge to explain the Permanent Income Amendment at meetings in the various counties where a sufficient number of voters desire such information. Students should attend meetings in their home communities during the holidays if possible. At least forty of fifty voters should attend the meetings.
A PUBLICITY COMMITTEE
A publicity committee was appointed at the meeting last night by President Glaso to reach the newspapers of the state. The committee consists of John Montgomery, chairman, Helen Peffer, and Deane Malott. The committee also planned to cover a newspaper in the state and it is believed that the majority of the papers will champion the Income Amendment.
Sixteen states now have permanent incomes for their state institutions, and in all cases the schools are ranked higher than those of this state. With a permanent income the state educational institutions may be run on a more economical basis. The bill does not mean higher taxes but more money. On which the institutions may count every year and far enough in advance to make the growth of the schools constant from year to year.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture a university of Kansas; to go forwards than merely printing the news and presenting it with certain versatility holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be wise; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
HOW K. U. DOES IT
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1917.
With the news of loyalty pledges being circulated at many universities, among them Wisconsin, comes the enquiry, "Why doesn't K. U. circulate some such pledge?" The answer is simple enough. The faculty and students of the University of Kansas are not displaying loyalty in black and white. They exhibit loyalty in the true blue of sacrifice, as is evidenced by the raising of $11., 983 for the Student Relief Fund. They exhibit it in the warm glow of sympathy and brotherly love, as is evidenced by the special attentions paid to Company M at Camp Doniphan which is composed almost entirely of University men. They exhibit loyalty in the olive drab of enlisted and commissioned service and in the gray that stands behind the Red Triangle.
To answer a question with a question, "How better could the University show its patriotism and loyalty than through service?"
A PLEA FOR LECTURES
It is supposed that the seniors with held announcing the Senior Stew to be given next Tuesday night until the recipe was approved by Hoover.
A PLEA FOR LECTURES Now that the University of Kansas has taken up the plan to have an active place in the War League of American Colleges, it would seem that the right thing for the department of physical education to do is to come through with its part of the program and permit the students to attend the lectures that the Intelligence committee plans to have on various war topics.
This Intelligence Committee plans to bring such widely known speakers as William Allen White, Henry J. Allen, W. Y. Morgan, and Burris Jenkins to Lawrence so that the K. U. students may hear what they have to say on the world war and the economic features of it. But they are confronted with the problem of having these famous men who have been on the actual war front come to the University and talk to empty chairs. This was the experience of the managers of the last University lecture.
Under the present plan of the department of physical education students may go to these lectures only on certain days of the week and the result is that the dates of lectures make it impossible for many students to attend. We expect that the department of physical education will see the reasonableness of the plan to take some of the drill time once or twice a month so that K. U. students may get some valuable first hand information on the war and what is happening in the world.
"LEVEL-HEADEDNESS NEEDED
"LEVEL-HEADEDNESS NEEDED There ought to be an end of the proclamation of existing or imminent shortage of necessary commodities, and a concentration of silent effort to
timulate production and distribution.
What this nation needs above all things in this critical time is level-headedness. It cannot have that if there is continuance of proclamations designed to impress upon the people that within the first year of our participation in the war the problem of existence has already become difficult. —Albany Journal.
CAMPUS OPINION
Editor Kansan:
-Albany Journal.
Military training has been in progress very nearly a month, and still there has been nothing definite, so far as I have been able to ascertain, about uniforms. The training has reached a stage now when uniforms are a necessity if the drill is to be conducted in a proper manner. Are we going to a company go through its setting up exercises, or settler one, who has done it himself, knows that civilian clothes are a great hindrance. Furthermore, the rough usage is none too easy on them. A uniform can be purchased for much less than a good suit of clothes, and I believe the men would take a greater interest in their work if they were in uniform. It seems as though some action should be taken in this matter, and if I were to wear uniforms, they could at least make arrangements for us to purchase them at wholesale prices. The general sentiment seems to favor uniforms, and all that is lacking is some concentrated action to start wearing them.

The faculty voted to cut down each vacation this year several days so that men can be released for service early in the spring.
Easter vacation has been entirely abstolbed, Christmas cut to eleven days, three days taken from Block days, single day vacations eliminated.
No Intercollegiate Athletics
The question whether or not to engage in intercollegiate athletics has again been decided in the negative at McGill. In 1915 it was decided that athletic contests with other colleges would be allowed against ante-bellum conditions, but agitation this fall brought the question up again.
Four war pledges have been framed by a committee of the Economy Club at DePawu and a campaign to secure signatures will soon be under way. The pledges include abstinence from alcohol, fading fads, and the promise to discourage elaborate social functions for the duration of the war.
The women of the University of Washington are really training. They turn out for target practice every week and even once a week for regular infantry drill.
Cigarettes have been banned at the University of Louisiana. The school is run on a military basis, and all junior and senior battalion officers were put on their honor to report all violations of the order. Pipes and cigars are permissible.-Indiana Daily Student.

POET'S CORNER
A STOCK SELLING SCHEME
(By William Allen White)
In a few days a stock pedestler will call on you. Watch for him. He will try to unload on you some stock in a queer corporation. The corporation is called the American Red Cross and it is a volunteer for membership. The price is small; only a dollar or such a matter. And he will tell you in his oily tongue about the dividends.
But don't you be fooled! There will be no dividends except in brotherhood, and if you get into the corporation you will be stuck for assessment. If you are not sure what will come in thick and fast before this war is over. Your heart will be wrung time and again by the need of our soldiers; by the hunger and want in the families of our soldiers; by the disease and famine in Europe. And while, of course, the assessments may come and come. And you will have your choice: meet them or harden your heart. If you meet them, your life will grow. Deny them and your bank account will grow. Take your choice. Meet them or pass them. The assessments are before you, and if you succeed in passing them your whole life's destiny will hinge once the way you handle that stock.
And it is a curious stock in this: the dividends, as hereinbefore stated, are in human brotherhood. From all over the earth, wherever men and women and children are in want and misery, at home, in France, in Italy, in England—even in Turkey, on occasion during this war, and forever after this war, the deep, sweet abiding gratitude of those whom we have saved and succeded. We are feeding the starving through this corporation and they will not forget it, nor their children's children. We are healing the sick—the tubercular, the undernourished—covered with sores and filth. We are housing the homeless in the devastated area of Belgium and France and Italy, the underprivileged in this country, gathering up the good will of humanity in bales and cords and shiploads and the pouring it back into America.
CLASSIFIED
WANTED FOR SALE - FOR RENT
Now, don't you want your share? Don't you want some of these dividends? In other ages when peace shall come permanently to this world—shall come because America sowed in this great war the seeds of good governance. George Washington—the son's teeth grow—and men too old to fight, and women who could not go into battle, will say, "I was a member of the Red Cross. Here is my membership. It is a certificate from the herald's college of my nobility. You children and all of yours for generations may know that in the great Peace Corporation I was an investor. I drew mydividends in brothelhood. The assessments that came from my heart. I am proud that those joined."

For Dolls We Are Ready to supply that "Demand"
From Last Night's Kansan
Girls need hesitate no longer, for Harold T. Chase, Editor Topea Daily Capital, has brought us a new-brand new—idea. It's a long, long trail back to where the idea started, but the story of it is something like this.
Mr. Chase's young daughter has a college chum who wrote a story about a joyous Christmas at the front. According to the story, the soldiers went wild with joy over a shipment of dolls which reached them by mistake.
Thus it would appear that what our men are longing for is dolls. Retailers of dolls, get ready to supply the de-
penses for the girls will all be down tomorrow to buy one for him.

Varsity Men Smother Freshmen in Snappy Basketball Scrimmage
Laslett Played Up To Usual Form—Football Men Try For Places
After playing a close game for some time the Varsity basketball team finally trained its gut last night and trounced the heatmen on a whirlwind of baskets.
The first part of the practice with Miller and Fearing at forwards, Mathews at center, and Uhrlaub and Stephenson at guard for the Varsity was closely contested. The freshmen lineup consisted of Barter and Keckly, forwards, Harms, center, and Bennett in second and third positions playing a hard fast game and made a couple of pretty shots early in the practice.
When Scrubby Laslett took the place of Stephenson the score was 10 to 8 in favor of the Varsity. Scrubby's entrance into the scrimmage put pap up for a shot, but Stephenson began to draw away from the freshmen. The final score was 26 to 10.
The second Varsity lineup was made up of Lonborg and Davis, forwards, Nielsen and Mandeville, guards, and Holiekvam, center. With the Bomber men they freshmen fourth in the going pretty rough. The football boys kept the ball most of the time but had little success in shooting goals.

Cast of Dramatic Club Play Named—Rehearsals To Begin Immediately
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 10, 1917.
Many Try For Parts In War time Drama—Competition Was Keen
To Be Staged In February
Date
Practice Starts Tomorrow Night
Play Is Up-To
The announcement of the cast for the war drama to be staged by the Dramatic Club in February was made this morning by the executive committee and was made after the hardest contested tryouts in the history of the club. One hundred students tried for the various parts and in many instances the show so badly sequelled that committee had no difficulty in making the selections.
The part of Christopher Brent, the hero of the play that deals with the intriguing of German spies, was given to Craig Kennedy, a student who has had several years experience in acting in stock companies.
SPY RULE TO ROBERTSON
Robert Robertson will play the role of
Mason.
The part of John Preston, an aged Englishman, will be taken by Harold Lytle. The leading feminine role will be played by Helen Clark whose name in the play will be Mollie Preston. Rhea Dively will play the part of Miriam Leigh, a minister of the plotters. Lucile Hovey has been chosen to be Miss Myrtle, an old maid character.
Frauelin Schroeder, an elderly lady with German sympathies, will be impersonated by Florence Butler, Susan MacDonald will take the part of Mrs. Hall will play the part of Percival Pencilk, a young English patriot.
The date for the play has been set for the middle of February. The nature of the play is still being withheld but those in charge say that it is a good production which has not been staged in this part of the country.
REHEARSALS START TOMORROW
Several parts are yet to be given out and the committee is still trying to decide those who should do best for the party. The first rehearsal for the party is announced for tomorrow night and the committee will have decided on the other parts before the rehearsal.
"We were particularly pleased at the interest shown in the play in the try-outs," said Prof, Arthur MacMurray, director of the club. "We have excellent material in the cast and there is every reason why the production, which is alive with interest, should not set even a higher standard than the Dramatic Club has already arrived at."
Student Engineers May Be Exempted From Draft
War Department Decides to Release Men Until Graduation
Washington, Dec. 8.-Six thousand engineering students in 117 schools recognized by the War Department were granted virtual exemption from the draft today under prescribed conditions. The University of Kentucky became secretary General Baker, Provost-Marshall General Crowder and officials of engineering societies.
The students are regarded as military assets of the future and are granted preferential classification in many cases, so they may complete their courses. They revert automatically to their former classification on graduation and may be called out immediately if identified men of the engineer reserve.
Notice
The undersigned has been appointed on the Legal Advisory Board for Douglas county. He will advise, vise and assist any person who may be called to the service in this country who wishes advice and assistance in filling the "mansion" which will be sent him.
Professors Burdick, Humble, Osborne, and Rice have kindly consented to assist Dean J. W. Green. Any student of the University to whom a questionnaire shall be sent may freely call upon either of these gentlemen for advice or assistance.

Chancellor Addresses All-Kansas Regiment
Chancellor Frank Strong was the guest of honor at the third regimental dinner held at Camp Funston Thursday by the officers of the all-Kansas 353rd infantry. Chancellor Strong spoke of the contribution the American universities are making for the defense of the country and of the significance of seeing the new world filled with the old. He referred also to the significance of being in Kansas to speak to an all-Kansas regiment as representative of the unity of the allied armies.
At the close of the program James H. Reeves proposed a toast to President Wilson after which the regiment awarded national airs of the allied countries.
The War Here and Over There
The Cossacks are now reported to e in revolt against the Bolshevik action in Russia.
Men convicted of failing to register under the selective-service law will be registered that the active military test is not required by the active military law, if not exempted by the law.
The American destroyer Jacob Jones was torpedoed and sunk in the war zone. Thursday by a German aircraft. The crew of one hundred men were lost.
The navy needs more men to guard the transports which are conveying American soldiers to France, and the naval department is advertising for young men from eighteen to twenty years of age to enlist for guard duty
Not a single case of typhoid fever occurred in the civil district surrounding Fort Leavenworth in the month ending November, according to public Health Service report. This is attributed to inoculation and close sanitary supervision.
A ruling has been made by National Fuel Administrator Garfield prohibiting the lighting of electric signs except between 7:45 and 11 o'clock. A number of such signs, including the largest one in Lawrence, were burning at 11:30 o'clock Saturday night.
A recent ruling of the War De partement will grant preferred classifi cation to engineering students. This means virtual exemption for the engineers until they finish their courses at the University. These are 117 recognized schools in the United States with a total of 6,000 students
University Faculty Men Start Organization Of Own Drill Company
Profs Will Set Good Example And Train To-Be-Officers
a
At K. U.
If plans which are under consideration at the present time are carried out the University will soon have the pleasure of watching a company compete in the university's annual spring "squads right", along with student companies. A meeting of a few faculty members was held in the gym Wednesday night. Although only a few were present, plans for organizing a faculty company were announced to be held in the trophy room of the gym Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock
"Another benefit that faculty drill is expected to bring about is in the question of officers after this semester. It is certain that there will not be as many students properly trained for officers next year. If faculty members receive drill training a semester before they are for officers, student companies next year, at least until students have time to learn their duties."
If the faculty company is formed it will select its own officers. The Board of Counsel, and other members of the tactical staff.
"The organization of a company of faculty members for military drill is expected to benefit both the faculty and the students," said Prof. Gwennie Sillard, who expected to show the students that they are not required by the faculty to do work which the faculty itself shirks. I believe if the present cold weather does not scare too many, that a team of at least thirty will soon drilling.
Those in charge of the formation of the company expect to have at least thirty of the faculty enrolled. The cause of the small attendance at the meeting Wednesday probably was due to the lack of notification.
University Officials Say Cost of Razing First Building is Prohibitive
Old Grads Would Wreck North College—Eyesore And Boys' Loafing Den
White Pine Of Some Value
A Year's Vacancy Has Reduced The "Oldest Building" to Hopeless Ruins
Old North College is no longer a decoration to the University, and some of the old grads on visiting K. U do not hesitate to say so.
John Shen, superintendent of buildings, will give no information as to what is to be done with it. He said the University had taken everything it wanted and that it did not care what became of the rest.
The stucco has practically all fallen off the outside, and this, together with the holes in the outer walls left when part of the chimneys fell, gives old cladding the appearance of so old brick from the time of Jules Caesar.
The rest has "gone." One window pane out of more than 50 now remains. The door panels are all the same in every wall and ceiling has fallen.
North College cannot be repaired; it is beyond that stage. But it could be torn down. As it now stands it is a loafing place where boys of the town smoke cigarettes and shoot craps. What brick could be built from it would probably have the cost to move it. So the question is, "What is to be done?" Here is what the University of Oregon did in a similar case.
About eight years ago they had a building deserved the same as North College. It became an eye-sore to the university, so on the day set for the annual sophomore-freshman flag fight, which had been done away with there as it has been in this University, the students all had a holiday to work. The men out in the warring; at noon lunch was served by the women and the afternoon was devoted to athletics.
Degrees May Be Granted
Seniors Who Are Drafted
Committee is Meeting With Faculties of Different Schools This Afternoon
The committee, appointed by Chancellor Strong last Friday to make recommendations to the faculties of the schools of the University regarding the granting of degrees to seniors who enlist, is presenting its suggestions at special meetings of the faculties this afternoon.
The committee added several details to the suggestions from the Chancellor and these are being presented this afternoon. Prof. A. T. Walker is chairman of the committee. Prof. W. L. Burdick, Prof. D. L. Patterson, Prof. G. C. Shaad, Dr. John Sundwall, and Prof. F. E. Kester.
Suggestions made by the Chancellor that degrees should be granted to seniors of good standing upon a statement from the government that they have enlisted, have been accepted and have been called into active senior roles. The Chancellor should also apply to those seniors who are drafted were accepted by the committee. The Chancellor also suggested that other students who enlist or are drafted should receive credit for the semester's work upon the presentation of statements from the government if they are in good standing.
The weekly military program is modified as follows: All companies will form at 4 o'clock on their parade grounds. Rolls will be taken and camouflaged to the lecture by George R. Parkin in Robinson Gymnasium.
1. Practical instruction, Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday—
School of the Company to Extended
Order, emphasizing Platoon Mov-
ments. Guides will study their duties
especially. Company commanders
will be responsible for instruction of
guides.
Official Military Notices
2. In case of severely cold weather, men will provide themselves with substantial shoes, warm gloves and heavy clothing, and the companies will be taken out by companies or battalions, or may direct, for a practical march.
3. Theoretical Instruction--Offices School, Thursday, at 4 o'clock. Part of the time may be given to practical instruction.
Cold Weather Will Make Demand for Soup, McEwen Believes
"Senior Stew" Is Ready For All Who May Come To Gym Tomorrow Night
Hoover Puree On The Menu
Tasty War Mulligan Was Con cocted By Department Of Home Economics
rans for the "Senior Stew" tomorrow night from 6 to 8 o'clock in Robinson Gymnasium have not been changed on account of the weather change and Fred McEwen, chairman of the social committee, who is directing the event, expressed the belief this morning that the snowy weather and snappy temperature would only swell the crowd.
Details of the party, announced today, clear up considerable wonderment regarding the meaning of the "stew." The program calls for "wartime" stew as the chief item of food on the menu, from which the name of the stew is derived. Rolls, pickles, pumpkin pie and coffee make up the rest of the bill of fare. Following the period of time allotted for eating stunts will be put on by seniors from various schools and after that, during the time that remains before 8 o'clock, dancing will begin and the furniture be furnished outhowever the evening.
"As announced last week," said MeEwen today, "dates are not essential to a good time at this party and they are not being encouraged. So no one should remain at home because be or she hasn't a date."
Yellow tags, which admit to the "Stew" are on sale on the hill by a score of senior men and women. They cost twenty-five cents.
A purée, a la Hoover, has been concocted by the department of home economics, which, according to the "commissary" committee, is a real luxury, rather than a wartime economy.
George Parkin Will Talk
At Convocation Tuesday
Authority On English Affairs Will Tell Of International
Feeling
George R. Parkin, the man who is given credit for knowing more about English affairs than any other English layman, is the principle speaker at convocation tomorrow afternoon. Mr. Parkin is the travel agent and administration of the Rhodes Scholarship and is a graduate of Oxford.
Mr. Parkin spoke at K. U. several years ago on English affairs and his talk this year with the critical conclusion of what he looked forward to with anticipation.
While in Lawrence Mr. Parker will be the guest of the University Club and will speak before the club tomorrow night.
Many Attend This Year's Law Scrim Friday Night
Decorations were in crimson and blue, and the football "K" was everywhere in evidence. Pictures of old football men were wung around the hall. Usual Scrim refreshments were served.
Approximately 200 students attended the Law Scrim in the F. A. U. hall Friday night. The K. U. football men were guests of honor. The party was informal for the first time in the hall and there was no receiving line or grand march. The music was furnished by Haley's skiffle orchestra.
Dr. George R. Parkin will speak tomorrow afternoon in the gymnasium at 4 o'clock. He will address the faculty at night at 7:30 o'clock about changes that are to be made in Rhodes Scholarship.

Professor Shull Gives Rare Collection To K. U
A collection of about 700 butterflies of the family Pieris has been presented to the Entomological collection of the University by C. A. Wagner. The specimens are many. Many of the specimens are rare, and all come from Europe or Asia.
Professor Shull made the collection while a student in the University of Chicago over ten years ago, securing it from various persons in foreign lands at a total expense of about $50. This addition to the Museum is concerned. There are about twenty species of the Pieris butterflies. Included in the list are some of the worst pests we have—the cabbage butterflies.
The collection of about 200 Japanese specimens has not been mounted, but the others are mounted and encased in the Snow Entomological Collection room on the third floor of the Museum.

James King, janitor of Fraser, has filed a complaint with the Utilities Committee of the University. It's all because he can't work at 11 o'clock every day. For at this time a man student and a woman student assemble near his place of business in Fraser and begin to talk. They don't talk more than three minutes, according to King, until the beginning of long standing, namely: That the man student shouldn't have had that date two weeks ago while the woman student was out of town. King can't work until he finds out what they are going to do about it.
It snowed. He fell down. She fell down. They fell down. We all fell down. We laughed and they fell. They fell down. We fell. So the snow is great for us all. So the snow is great for us all.

Among several important this accomplished by the athletic managers, coaches, and faculty representatives of the Missouri Valley Conference schools in session in Kansas City Friday and Saturday was arrangement of the athletic schedule for 1918. The meeting this year is more important than for many yes. The adoption of a resolution tl will allow Missouri Valley teams compete in any team in various cantonments was one of several things done in the open session. The faculty representatives also desired to abolish the giving expensive medals and trophies duri the war and to operate athletics an economical basis.
PLAY FRESHMAN GAMES
A resolution was also adopted allow freshmen of one valley school to compete with freshmen of other valley schools. In fact the board curators went so far as to all Washington and Drake universitets to play freshmen on their varsies. These two resolutions co-respond as the result, and will so bring about stronger competitions among the valley schools.
Coach Dick Rutherford of Washington University said that he will be able to put a much better football team in the field next year, since he has been given the privilege of tiring freshmen. Prof. D. W. Morehick of Drake University said he did rift with a previous college would use freshmen to the varsity teams. The freshmen will not be allowed to play over twent five per cent of the number of games now played between the vall schools.

With this issue, the Daily Kansan will more announces a change in the personnel of its staff. But, change or change, it will continue to be the daily Kansan, giving all the news partially, playing no favorites, and endowing to serve, above all, a student body of the University of Kansan.
THE TROUBLED MIND
The eleventh hour has come to the lege man of America,—unbidden, sought. He is alone in the garn, as it were, and his problem is mplex. Small wonder that he isinking as he never thought before! Upon his decision awaits the fure of his life history, and it is hisfortune that he is compelled toscrew quickly. Mars is calling him the defense of Democracy. Hisoblem is to heed or not to heed. Ifheeds, there is the futurequestion how he shall make his servicesut valuable.
In the case of many, the Selectiveraft has simplified the puzzle bydeeing that he who is fit shallgo at there are many, again, whopre voluntary enlistment to compulsion. Some are qualified for branchof the service into which it is imobable the draft will throw themhat shall they do? December 15is been named the day afterwhichere shall be no more enlistmentfor e average college man of draft age,which means the virtual end of choiceTo add to the befuddlementcomedrends of friendly advisers withas any varieties of admonition. Somey for enlistment, immediate andtisingy. Others plead thatweick to the knitting and load upwith education." "Let the draft catchyou,"ey insist, "it is the prescribedmew, there is always a place fore man with the education." Hownsolling! But the problem remains.For every man the decision mustme from within. It is his individualbattle, and by him it is wonelost. To use the phraseology ofegiridron, let every man keephisad, find his hole, and then.Hit It.
LET OTHERS KNOW
Hundreds of weight questions are being discussed on the Hill these days. Every student has opinions and most of them are worthy of conderation. By simple word-to-mouth publication, however, sentiment selpm crystalizes into anything subantial, and, as a result, student opinion remains divided and the student body continues powerless to advance a concrete propaganda upon any subject.
The Daily Kansan conducts for its student readers, a column designed to meet this need. In it anyone may air is views upon any subject of student interest. Contributions are gladly received, and space is given ungrudgingly, for the Kansan realizes the alue of discussion. If you have an lea, give it form, and we will print . Keep K. U. abreast of the times!
Don't let your dollar be a slacker. The Trift Stamp which is issued in denominations of from twenty-five cents to five dollars is within the reach of every student. These stamp bear four per cent compound interest and are practically government bonds
Hilltop Philosophy
To define complete one could go to the Soph Hop report for reference.
To pay attention isn't very expensive.
But a great number of students don't seem to be able to afford it.
An invariable rule is that it takes a letter sent to receive a letter these days.
Take care of the day's work and the quizzes will take care of them-selves.
The student has yet to learn the lesson of preparedness when he goes to class.
General Athletics will now concentrate an attack upon a new line the enemy basketball teams.
There will be many jobs open here Christmas according to the Kansan but who's going to be here then?
Soon will the time for those "cigars that wife gives for Christmas gifts" and "father pays all the bills" jokes again.
One of the most regrettable features of the recent cold snap was that the proverbial Saturday night bath failed to materialize.
Cross country season is over, and no longer will we have to shiver in sympathy as we did when we saw the start off on a jaint each evening.
Military drill is finding a few enusiastic supporters. The tailors ask that repair work is plantiful as they repair equally exuberant is another question.
"Don't waste time studying" may be the words of a Kansas professor, but at that he doesn't mean it literally. Woe be it to the busy student who only has time to read head-lines n the Kansan.
Christmas presents should be started a week earlier this season. Uncle Sam is very accommodating, but he is not likely to sledtrack supplies to his soldiers in order to make way for Christmas gifts.
Students may be divided on some questions, but one could easily get a unanimous vote in the affirmative on the propositions of compulsory military drill for faculty men, and for a two weeks vacation Christmas.
Now that the atmosphere begins to suggest the coming of the Yuletide, we must not forget that a Christmas remembrance will be appreciated by our boys of Company M down at Doniphan.
Since the Kansas Natural has so kindly kicked in with its annual flasco, we now can be perfectly content to bask in the warmth of old Spooner and catch up with those belated library readings.
CAMPUS OPINION
Editor Kansan:
One M. P., writing in your Campus Opinion column has expressed himself as follows on the subject of uniforms for military drill: "The general sentiment seems to favor uniforms, and all that is lacking is some concentrated action to start wearing them."
Undoubtedly the writer has the best of intentions and his assertions about the inconvenience of civilian clothes are well-taken, but I think he has over-stepped his mark when he says that uniforms are desired or generally favored. I take it that he means the compulsory wearing of them.
He seems to forget that a large percentage of the men still on the Hill are putting up a hard fight to even remain in school this year. We must pinch and give on every hand. We are asked to support every movement that is started. I ask it is economy to lay down all the money for those questions? He answers such a challenge with a statement that a uniform will cost less than a good suit of clothes.
It is my opinion that if he will take the trouble to do a little investigating and really ascertain the real sentiments at an entirely different conclusion.
Of course it is all well and good to take the material needed for these uniforms from the soldiers. They needn't need 'em. Come again brother, don't need 'em.
Again I ask does he presume to argue that we all will have to buy a new suit? Few students buys suits at this time of the year and nearly everyone has purchased his wardrobe anyway.

The University can boast of several Venues and many rivals of Juno. The weight varies from 86 pounds to 186 pounds. The height ranges from 4 feet 10 inches to 5 feet 11 inches. Do not be misled. It is the shortest that weighs least for the tallest that weighs the most.
Guess who are the lightest, the heaviest, the tallest, the shortest, the oldest, and the youngest women in the University. Of course it would be entirely too personal to give their names but just watch and observe and perhaps the mystery can be solved.
The average weight of a girl 4 feet 10 inches is about 130 pounds. In this case however the shortest weighs about 130 pounds, and the tallest jump is about 5 feet 2 inches. The tallest falls far below the 168 goal.
The youngest one enrolled is 16 years old. The oldest is 49 years old. Sh! Now another dark secret is going to be divulged. About twenty five per cent of the women refuse to put the date of their birth on their registration cards. Others forget from year to year just what dates they have put down in previous years. One senior has four dates of birth. One junior has eighteen when she entered the University and graduates this spring, after a full four year course, at the immature age of twenty. See the advantage of going to college? Time has evidently listened to her earnest plea of "Backward, turn backward, oh Time in Thy flight."

The caliber of this year's Jayhawker gridiron machine is shown by the placing of nine of its members on the official all-valloy elevens, selected by coaches, officials, and other critics. Three players made the first team.
Lonbord, Nettles, and Foster were given their respective places on the mythical all-vall道 first team, while Laslett, Pringle, Ruble, and Nielsen were selected for positions on the all-vall道 second team, in expiption of the latter team. Jones and Woody were given the guard positions on the third team.
HARD TO PICK TEAM
It was a difficult proposition to pick an all-vallue team this year because there were so many stars on the different elevens. The final choice has been made, however, and the Kansan sport editor believes it is a fair one, although he predicted that both Kansan could land positions on the first eleven.
ALL ARE FIGHTERS
A more evenly balanced team has not been seen on McCook Field since the gridiron sport first begin here. The team is known for its to finish. The fact that Nebraska landed but one more player on the three all-vallue teams than Kansas shows the caliber of the men. The Kansas proud of every player on the sound.
The old time Jayhawker fighting spirit showed in every battle. Although all of the players received hard jolts, they fought on with every ounce of energy possible. That marks the culmination of the men. They were fighters.
The Kansan sport editor wants to add that every player on the squad is a true sport. This is true on the trips taken this year as well as on the gridiron. There is no individual player on the squad. Every player fought his best to uphold the honor of the Crimson and the Blue. This is also true of the coaches and managers.

Kansas Season Opens January 17 in Double Bill With Iowa Aggies
Jayhawkers Show Form In Re ceent Practice—Freshmen May Schedule Games
With the announcement of the Kansas basketball schedule it becomes evident that the squad will have only a little more than four weeks to prepare for the final game. Valley队会met will be the Iowa Agricultural College, January 17 and 18. Kansas meets all of the Valley schools this year except Drake. It is probable that our college will be scheduled with Camp Funston.
The meeting of the Missouri Valley representatives last week brought out the fact that we may have freshmen competition this year. In case freshmen do play in Iowa, with the Kansas Missouri, Nebraska, and the Kansas Agies, it is expected that K. U. will be able to make a good showing, as the freshmen are known to be strong this year. The freshmen doing the best work, ter, forwards, Murphy, letter and Bennett, Bressler, and Wilson, guards.
Present prospects are that Kansas will have a fast scrappy team this year. At forward Miller and Fearing seem to have the call over the other Dutch Uhlraum being the other ward for some of their games. Other teams who have done good work are Keeler and Barteldes. Lonborg and Mandeville have not been out long enough to be in form but they may make the variability later as may also Swede Nielsen and Davis, ball players. They occasionally step forward and feet is one of the best fighters on the field. Miller also is always in the game. Uhlraum, Laslett and Stevens form a trio of guards that probably will make any pair of forwards in the valley work their reputation as well and Uhr and Werner take the same fast game that put them among the best of last year's Valley players.
Friday's practice was a running affair, the varsity using seven men in the long practice. The varsity was handicapped by the fact that Scrubby was not out. A big lead was gained but was lost later when the team was weakened by substitutions. Adamson, a Kansas City, Kansas,
star of last year and a freshman football player starred for the freshmen. The variety used Uhrlaub and Mathews at center, Davis, Mandeville, Uhrauun, and Rice at guard, and Pearan, Davis, and Mandeville at forward.
Basketball Player Leaves K. U.
Orrin Slonaker, the tallest student in the University, has withdrawn from school because he is of draftage. His withdrawal will cause a big gap to be filled in the basketball team as he was believed to be the most promising candidate for center position. Slonaker is six feet and four inches tall. He attended a prep school in Los Angeles before entering the University and there was a member of the soccer team.

The annual football banquet and the election of the football and cross country captains for 1918 will be held at the Oread Cafe at 6:30 o'clock on Sunday.
Pringle, Foster and Laslett are likely candidates for the capitaincy of next year's squad. All of these men will be senior next years and have had wills in their past. As this year has been one of the most successful in the history of K. U. football and a large number of the letter men are likely to return for the coming season, it seems that K. U. would be for a victorious season next year.
There are about twenty-four men who are eligible to vote for next year's captain. Any one who has been a captain may vote. Any player who has left school since the close of the season may vote by proxy, according to Coach Hamilton. In previous years, however, no one has ever voted in
In the election for the captain of the cross country team, has she likely candidately
The football and cross country letters and the freshman football numerals will be awarded at the annual football smoker which is to be held next week. It is believed that about fifteen "K's" will be given.
Thetas and Acacias Led Scholarship Standing During Year. '16-17
Report of National Sororitie and Fraternities is Made for Past Year
The report of the standing of the national fraternities and sororites was completed yesterday. The Kappa Alpha Theta sorority leads again this year, while the Acai fraternity leads the fraternities. The Thetas head the list by 1.12 per cent and the Acacia fraternity leads by 6.31 per cent.
Kappa Alpha Theta . 91.23
Kappa Kappa Gamma . 90.11
Gamma Phi Beta . 88.08
Achoth . 87.32
Sigma Kappa . 86.38
Pi Beta Phi . 85.86
Chi Omega . 84.33
Alpha Chi Omega . 82.58
Alpha Delta Pi . 81.74
Alpha Xi Delta . 76.8
For the sororites, the Pan-Hellenic Council offers a cup to the sorority having the highest average. If this class has a high percentage of a sorority it is allowed to keep the cup. The Theta tas have had the cup two years. The standing of the scholarship of the national sororities, based on per cent of Fa and II's, is as follows:
National Fraternities:
Acacia ... 74.72
Phi Tau Delta ... 68.41
Phi Gamma Delta ... 66.53
Beta Theta Pi ... 66.01
Alpha Tau Omega ... 64.04
Sigma Chi ... 63.05
Kappa Sigma ... 65.72
Pi Kappa Psi ... 55.11
Pi Kappa Alpha ... 54.23
Pi Kappa ... 52.63
Sigma Nu ... 52.36
Sigma Alpha Epsilon ... 50.68
Pi Delta Theta ... 50.65
Blackfriars Present Plays
The standings of the sororities is practically the same as last year. But the fraternities have fallen far below their standard of last season. War and other added duties and burdens are believed to be responsible for the low standing of the Greek letter organizations last year.
"Riders to the Sea," and "A Pot of Broth," two Irish plays will be presented by Blackfriars Club Wednesday night at 7:30 in Green Hall. The Blackfriars Club intends to present a series of plays each semester. The plays this semester are characteristic scenes from Irish peasant life.
Theta Sigma Phi
Members of Theta Sigma Phi are asked to meet at Bricken's, for lunch Thursday noon, to discuss chapter business. Initiation service and banquet for pledges will be held January 10.
The first rehearsal for the Dramatic Club play will be held tonight at 7:30 in the little theatre in Green Hall.
Fun Plus Food Promised All At Y.M.-Y.W. Party
The first I. M.-Y. W, all-University party is scheduled for Saturday night in Robinson gymnasium. To help pay the cost of putting on the party the associations will charge ten cents each for admission. The party starts at eight and lasts until ten o'clock. Evelyn Rorabaugh and Carl Winsor, president of the association, and the two associations are in charge of the party. They have promised eats and plenty of entertainment to keep the students active at the party.
Four all-University gatherings are usually held under the auspices of the two student religious associations of the university, and finance campaigns the committee in charge did not believe the students would commend too much social activity. There will probably be two events, M. C. A., parties after Christmas.
The War
Here and Over There
Jerusalem has surrendered to the British.
Japanese troops have entered Vladivostok, and the Chinese have gone into Harbin, Manchuria.
The Allies are spending forty billion dollars a year and Germany eight billion dollars a year to carry on the war.
Under the new draft regulations, every registrant will be furnished with a pocketbook to give him maternity of proof that he is complying with the law.
The armistice between the Russians and the Teutonic allies is now in force, and all hostilities on the ground front has been suspended until December 17.
With the collapse of the Russian government, Secretary Baker warns the United States that the Allies are in the gravest danger they have faced since World War II, and states that American preparations must be speeded up.
Earl Senor, c'21, who recently enlisted in the quartermaster's corps, left yesterday for St. Louis, Mo., to report for duty.
John W. McElroy, '120, has withdrawn from the University to enlist in the wireless department of the navy.
Lieutenant George Wynn of McPherson, a former student, who was commissioned at Fort Sheridan, expects to leave for France in a month.
Red Cross Membership Drive Starts Thursday
Society Attempting to Make Every Unenlisted Citizen a Member Before Xmas
To make every home in America a Red Cross home; to make every uninsulated man and woman in America a Red Cross member; and finally to show in the pledge of support the determination to make this Christmas distinctly a Red Cross Christmas, tells in a rough fashion the task which the Red Cross will shortly undertake in every village and hamlet in the United States. The last county is already organized for the big membership drive, with Prof. John N. Van der Vries as campaign manager.
Thus, while the members of the University will not be approached as such, they will not be absolved as citizens of this country. They are best at the front. Every person in Lawrence will during the next two weeks be confronted with opportunities to join at every turn, and if one leaves Lawrence the opportunity him or her may go around, hamlet, village or city in the country.
While the University as an institution will not be solicited, Professor Van der Vries today gave out the details of the aims in reference to students:
There seems to be some ambiguity in the University in regard to the Red Cross Christmas membership drive which is intended to enroll every person in America in the Red Cross before 7:30 o'clock Chritmas eve, and will be extended until November enlisted, and are enlisting a Christmas message of united support on the part of all persons who are to remain at home while they are offering themselves as sacrifices for the ideals of our democracy. There is no apportionment given to the University as an institution and to the individual of the standing committee in accordance with their previous pledge.
The campaign will start Thursday.
The Old North College May Be Demolished by Administration Board
Chancellor Has Asked That Power To Raze Building Be Vested Here
Was a Gift To The State From The People of Lawrence
First University Building
In 1866
North College, the oldest building of the University probably will be razed. It is no longer a decoration to the campus, but an eye-sore, and the students and old grads do not hesitate to say so.
Chancellor Frank Strong has written to the Board of Administration, asking this power be vested with the authorities here. James Kimble, state manager for Kansas, who has about 10 years of experience in control, has made no reply. The Chancellor is writing to the Board of Administration again asking power to demolish the "oldest building." The state architect considers the building beyond repair and thinks it should be replaced. Engineering is absolutely worthless with the exception of a very small amount of white nine.
LITTLE REMAINS SAVE WATER
Old North College is now a relic of its better days. The window panes are all out; the panels of the doors are broken in. A part of every wall and ceiling has fallen.
Last winter North College was condemned. It was abandoned by the School of Fine Arts and since that time it has been leading place for the boys of Lawrence.
This the citizens of Lawrence undertook to do, and in September, 1866 the North College, completed at a cost of $20,000, was given to the state as a gift from the city of Lawrence. It has been in use since that time until last February when it was abandoned as unsafe.
HAS SERVED FIRST ... The first burglar of a University of Kansas and St. John's College. In its history is the history of the University. When Lawrence was selected as the location for the state school, the Board of Regents met and decided to open a preparatory department as Lawrence could provide rooms.
Price Of Junior Prom This Year Is Set at $3 And Includes War Tax
Party In Honor Of Senior January 11, Given At War Time Prices
Cloudy and unsettled tonight and slowly rising temperature.
The Weather
Send the Daily Kansan home.
The price of admission to the Junior Prom which is to be held January 11 has been set at $3. The amount is to include the war tax of 10 per cent recently levied by the Men's Student Council. This price sets a new record in war-time economy at K.U. The Prom managers expect the party at the new rates to be more successful than a more expensive class party.
The managers have asked the seniors who paid their junior dues last year, and are entitled to complimentary tickets, to hand in their names before Friday to either Warren or John. The students will be given them. If those entitled to the tickets do not call for them by Friday they will not be allowed.
"We are making preparations to give the students value received for every penny that is paid for the Prom," said Ray Hemmell, one of the busking artists. The price is low, we feel it is enough to provide a good party."
Word was received here of the serious illness of Ted Richter, former K. U. student, junior class president last year, and at present sergeant in charge of the prisons. The rhoematism and may be discharged from active service until he is well.
Arrangements have been made to get a good orchestra. Refreshments will be served during the intermission Dancing will continue until 2 o'clock.

Energetic Supporter OfK. U. Lost in Death Of Scott Hopkins,'8
Topeka Banker-Lawyer Serves Alma Mater Fourteen Years As Regent
Public Activities Numerous
Funds Gathered in Kansas For Relief of Sufferers of
The University of Kansas lost one of its most faithful and energetic supporters in the person of Scott Hopkins, who died at his home in Topeka December 2. His death came after a brief breakdown some three months ago.
Armenia
His popularity as a man among men is proved by the long list of activities with which he was concerned. For fourteen years Mr. Hopkins was a member of the board of regents of the University. He was formerly president of the Kansas Bankers' association and also served one term as president of the Topeka Chamber of Commerce.
Scott Hopkins was born at Waverly, N. Y., February 2, 1860 and came to Holton, Kansas, with his parents in 1868. He graduated from the University in 1881 and from Columbia University three years later. After receiving his degree in law from Columbia, he returned to Holton, where he practiced law as a partner in his firm. A year later he married Cora E. Pierson of Lawrence, and in 1886 moved to Horton where he started his career as a banker and financier. In 1907, Mr. Hopkins moved to Topeka.
At his death he was treasurer of the Kansas American Relief committee, Treasurer of the Kansas Free Fair association, treasurer of the Topeka Library association, and a member of numerous other organizations. He was a member of the Rotary club and a Scottish Rite Mason.
Two Weeks Vacation Christmas
Two Weeks Vacation
The two weeks vacation this year begins Saturday, December 22, and continues until Saturday, January 5, inclusive. Just what the penalty for cut before or after the vacation will be, has not been definitely decided. The penalty probably will be left to the decision of the individual structurers.
Senior Play Committee Wants Manuscripts In By Thursday, Jan. 10
tribute of $50 Will Be Awarded
to Author of Best
Play
"Manuscripts for the $50 prize for the best play to be given by the Senior class must be in by January 10," said Robert Robertson, chairman of the senior play committee today. "The plays must be in the hands of the judges by this time as the play will be presented the last of March."
A committee made up of faculty members and students will judge the plays. The play must take up an entire evening and prepare an outfit for the actors. Allowance for as simple scenery as possible should be made in writing the play.
For the last three years the Dramatic Club has offered a prize of $50 for the best play to be given by a cast chosen from the senior class. The play must be about some phase of college life. Any student in the University is eligible to compete for the prize.
"The number of characters should be limited to ten or fifteen, preferably about twelve. They can be as evenly divided between men and women as possible."
Much interest has been shown in writing the play in former years. Alton Gumbiner won the first prize with "Copping the Grapes," and he won the contest last year with "Wilf." The student writer is not in school this year, so there is an opening for other students in writing the play.
Any student wishing to find out more particulars about writing the play should see either Robertson or MacMurray in his office in Green Hall.

Gas Reading Drops As Cold Weather Hits Oread
Parkin at University
Dr. George R. Parkin of London, England, Traveling Secretary of the Rhodes Scholarship secretary, will be a guest at the Umi-clock. Club this evening at 7:30 o'clock. Dr. Parkin is talking this afternoon at convocation of K. U. students. All club members are invited to hear his discussion on some phases of the Great War in England.
The gas situation cannot improvise until the weather becomes warmer, according to a report given out by the gas company this morning. People are setting up heaters and stoves of every description to take the place of gas. Many down town stores have been busy delivering stoves to the freezing houses, and most of the stores are almost sold out.
And just when this weather gives, the student a raging appetite, he cannot feel sure of his meals either. The restaurants and cafes are seriously overstuffed, so they supply. The Oread Club and Lee's College Inn, however, have managed to care for their patrons satisfactorily in spite of the gas shortage.
Plain Tales From The Hill

soldier, by name, Charlez Trous,
a French maid exclaimed: "Parle:
He wanted a kiss.
Though his words came amiss;
Yet the maiden returned: "Charlez
with her breasts."
"Nice gold, pretty gold, lovely gold." No, this is not spoken by a miser gloating over his treasure. A professor of economics was merely explaining the effect of seignorage to his class in money and credit.
The Alpha Chis are in serious trouble. Several paddles have bad cases with the boys at Oread High School At the dance Saturday night three paddles had dates with the little fellows from said institution. It is plain to see that the war has had some effect on the University.
At the University Club the furnace has chosen this most appropriate time to break down. Consequently there's no heat. Also the nine members of the faculty who stay at the club and the twenty who eat there feel the pinch of winter. It is rumored that not one of them was late to class this morning, all being on the Hill before time.
Sees His First Snow
Iaenoe Jamias, c21, a native of the Philippines, is experiencing his first large snow. He came to America last April, immediately after being graduated from the Laeag High School on the island of Luzon, and first saw snow when light flurries fell here about a month ago.
"The snow's kind-a cold," he said, as he walked with careful steps down the snow-covered sidewalk of Fourth Street. "It was frozen, he continued, in spite of the fact that he wore a stocking cap and heavy gloves and overcoat. 'It's queer, but I don't see how one could be surprised at it,' he was his idea about the snow.
"Come on, men, show a little peep!" shouted the captain to his company last night. "yuh 'unit takein' a stroll in moonlight light 'a luddy on yer arm!"
"Aw, I know that," murmured a private in the rear rank, as he wiped the frost off his chin, "but gosh, how I wish it was."
It is truly a measly shame that the Band Concert had to be postponed.

A COMMENDABLE MOVE
The recent move of the University authorities to secure the permission to raze old North College is indeed commendable. For years the building has been an eye-sore, a menace to public safety, and a disgrace to the University. Since it was condemned and the students of the School of Fine Arts compelled to move out, it has become even worse—it is positively a nuisance. The sooner it is pulled down the better, and there is only one regret; namely; that State Manager Kimball has been too occupied with his twenty odd state institutions to see to the matter before.
STICK OR FIGHT, WHICH?
With the declaration of war between the United States and Austria-Hungary comes the realization that the deadlock between the German automatic war machine and the mighty forces of Great Britain, France, and Italy cannot be broken until the United States can bring the full weight of her armies against the German lines. In the meantime, hundreds of young men from the University of Kansas and thousands of young men from the universities all over the land will be called to fill the ranks of the great national army.
The nation does demand, however,
that every student realize his responsibilities and enter into work or war with spirit and determination. The day of the slovenly student is past.
The indifferent student must either right about face or make room for a man who has the spirit of the times.
The question frequently arises as to whether it is good for young men of military age to remain in school. It is true that the government in its preparations to put a great army in the field has demanded the services of many men, but whether all young men of military age should discontinue school work is still a mooted question.
DOWN TO HARDPAN
Believing that students talk more and practice less economy than is necessary, the Student Council back at Ohio State has evolved a set of ten commandments for the direction of students that is interesting in its possibilities. It is, at least, an attempt to put economy into practical, backyard language. The big ten are:
1. Don't get a new suit unless you really need it.
2. Don't give expensive Christmas presents. It's the thought that counts.
3. Don't send flowers. They never match her dress.
4. Buy less candy. Our allies need the sugar.
5. Shine your own shoes—the exercise will do you good.
6. Sit upstairs at the theater—you can see just as well.
8. Stay at home one week-end—it may help that term paper.
7. Smoke cheaper tobacco—you are lucky to have any.
9. Don't pay $12 for shoes—cheap
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
er ones wear just as well.
10. Don't buy a new dress for every dance.
These are only a few of the don't which college students could observe with little discomfort to themselves, but which would mean a considerable saving in the economy line.
CONVERTING THE CLUB
To impress the students of the State Normal School that food conservation is not only worth while but necessary, instructors in the department of home economics recently visited the boarding clubs and talked to the students while they ate.
Here is an example of effort that
writes "somewhere." Whether
Here is an example of effort that "getting somewhere." Whether the talks did any good or not, the spirit which prompted them will win out in the end.
Such talks might be given at K. U. boarding clubs, but this plan need not necessarily be followed, the one essential thing being to catch the spirit which apparently has invaded the Normal. The rest will come easy.
K. U. boarding clubs are interested in food conservation. The evidence accumulates. But there are few outward signs that the students are as interested as they should be. A little enthusiasm now and then, taking the form of encouragement to boarding-house keepers, would be better evidence that another State School is in the war.
DO IT NOW
There are several county clubs that have failed to reorganize this year for some unaccountable reason. Either the leading lights in the organizations have entered the service or those behind have not felt it incumbent upon them to take up the none-too-pleasant task of herding the indifferent flock together — something is wrong.
Now the greatest work that a country can do is that which is accomplished during the holidays. Those counties, as a consequence, which have not organized must do so during the next few days or else the weight of their influence will be lessened. Anyone can call a meeting and the rest is simple. Do it now while the opportunity awaits.
Indiana University has taken up the service flag idea and will attempt to raise the purchase price by dime con-
version. Y. M. is backing the movement there.
ON OTHER "HILLS"
The Daily Illini has promulgated a set of qualifications for the perfect man, based upon the woman's point of view. But what's the use? Don't the woman be careful? We weasley creatures up here in Kansas are neither perfect nor men?
Back at Colgate the students are very busy working out a new constitution for the Student's Association.
Miami College, located at Oxford, Ohio, has the unique distinction of turning out the second all-victorious football team in two years. The Big Reds were not scored upon this season.
Texas U. bonates an organization a sharp bunch of fellows. Must be a sharp bunch of fellows.
Alumni of the University of Iowa now maintain in Paris a hotel dedicated solely to the idea of giving their former students and other college men a place on campus so they can do lounges, a place to get together and renew their college friendships.
Drake has solved the Belgian relief question by conducting an Old Shoe Special, which is neither an excursion train nor a public sale, but rather a sort of parade which, headed by the University Face firemen, makes a visit to the parade ground for porchage of the vicinity and returns laden down with worn but serviceable shoes.
A system of voluntary military drill has been proposed and adopted at the University of Colorado, and it is being taken up with great enthusiasm. Perhaps the voluntary idea is helping things along.
Illinois University has an exhibit of war relics comprising everything from a French machine gun to German culinary sausage grinder. Why could not Kansas have a similar collar design? It would permanent in the new Administration building. Illinois men in the trenches did the work of collecting.
POET'S CORNER
Smiles are cheap and so is cheer
and laughter. And no matter what your tone,
and no matter what your text, the building
will be a place of joy.
ROUTING CARE
If you can't be very jolly
you can.
Let no bit of medicine
Overcome your smiling plant
When you'd cry, resolve to laugh-
Trouble hates a sounding rafter
like you will turn to craft.
When you face his frown with
laughter.

American War League Work Is Explained By Chancellor Strong Today
New Organization of Colleges In America To Do Great Work After War
As soon as the War League of American Colleges prepares its recommendations to the colleges as to the plan of promoting the work of these colleges, he asks us as to how the work is to be done here on the Hill. In a letter to Chancellor Frank Strong this morning, Dean Templin, the originator of the idea, who is now in Washington in charge of the work, have details of the work organized soon.
"This War League is going to prove to be one of the strongest forces for reconstruction after the war," said Chancellor Strong this morning. "The purpose of the league is to unify public opinion in our American colleges as to what the war is for and it will accomplish five distinct results."
"In the first place it will sustain our ideas of democracy and freedom and also our opposition to military-ism. The right of the people to decide the most vital problems without questioning a Kaiser who claims his ideas are from God, will be made certain.
"Our sentiment against the secret system will be intensified by the opinions we will get from the work of this league and we will see to it that international law may not be intercepted at will by any one nation.
"A third result of the league's work will be that public opinion will be against the idea that "the State" is supreme in the German sense and that it may abrogate the individual conscience of men. It is this understanding over the people that has caused the Germans to commit their terrible atrocities. "The State" is their one thing responsible for their deeds."
"There will be a wonderful chance for this league to do some good work among the prisoners in the prison camps in seuring unified opinion which will accomplish results after all." These are their countries. "The seeds of information on these matters will grow and the entire world will benefited."
"The fifth result will be that there will be a greater use after the war of the one international organization which has created the World Student Federation. There are also many economic results that will be accomplished but these five results will be most important in creating the world for democracy and freedom."

Interclass Football Games Are to Start Saturday Afternoon
Juniors and Freshmen As Wel As Sophomores And Seniors Clash First
With the opening interclass football games only a few days distant, the coaches and players are working hard perfecting their pet plays. The juniors appeared to be strong in their play with the freshman team Saturday.
The following combination worked well together last week, according to Coach Stoster: Kenneth Bell, quarter; John Hobart, half; Willard Hilton, half; Marsh Haddock, full-back; Russel and Arnold, ends; Zoeller and Harms, tackles; Gregory and John Doe, guards, and said by John Doe. Conferencing with his fast hands badly backfield play probably would be used. Haddock, former Mohawk athletic club star, probably will do, the kieking.
The strength of the sophomore team will be tested when it meets the senior eleven on McCook Field next Saturday. Among the players trying for the sophomore team are Leley Caler, star twirler and southpaw freshman baseball player last spring; six-years' freshman pitcher from last year's freshman squad; Fred Hann, cross country man; Dud Brown, Rich House, Cooper, and Earlenbaugh.
Simon, who was on the Varaty reserve squad this year, will boost the hopes of another sophomore chameleon when he appears in uniform this week.
Would Allow Seniors In Pharmacy to Graduate
All Schools Will Try to Get Temp orary Exemptions For Graduates
Martin A. Rudd, acting chairman for the conference of schools of pharmacy at Richmond, Va., has written Dean L. E. Sayre of the School of Pharmacy at the University that concerted action is necessary on the part of all conference schools in order that men in their senior year of professional work may be given permission to finish the wear before called into service.
"The University of Kansas is a member of the organization of conference schools, and we wish to co-operate in every way with the other institutions." The suggestion of allowing students to wait until their diplomas are granted is entirely in accordance with the notice sent out by the War Department that every effort will be made by the government to use the student's special training."
Dean Sayre believes the government will permit pharmacy seniors, who may be called in the next draft, to finish their year's work that they may qualify well as pharmacists. A letter setting forth the man's standing will be given by Dean Sayre to each senior student called to the colors.
Thirty-three Freshmen
Report for Basketball
Teams
May Compete With Other Mis souri Valley Freshmen
Thirty-three freshmen were out for basketball practice last night, the largest number out any time this year. This was doubtless owing to the needs of freshmen games with other Missouri Valley freshmen teams.
The scrimmages were slow and rough because of slick floor. The first scrimmage was married by many fouls, but at that Referee Swede Nielsen did not call them closely. The Varsity used seven men and was able to pound out a 14 to 5 victory over the freshmen.
Bulletin Published On Oil and Gas In Kansas
The oil and gas resources of Kansas are still comparatively untouched, according to Dr. Raymond C. Moore, state geologist, who with Dr. Winthrop P. Haynes, another member of the State Geological Survey at K. U. is publishing a bulletin, "Oil and Gas Resources of Kansas."
The bulletin contains the first authoritative description of the Butler County oil fields, which are the center of the whole mid-continent field. Maps showing the rock formations and land charts of production and a detailed record of the producing sands are included in the description.
At the annual apiarips convention held in Topeka, Friday, Prof. S. J. Hunter told of the investigation of the bee industry by the department of entomology at the University of Kansas. "Foul food" led to a mass case of one of the chief topics destructive diseases known to the of discussion.
Next Draft Will Cause
Shortage of Men Teachers
"After the next draft it is probable the high schools in Kansas will be short 60 per cent of their men instructors" says Prof. W. H. Johnson of the School of Education. Almost all the principals are married men with families but the instructors are chiefly unmarried men of draft age.
The educational department is unable to furnish teachers to fill these vacancies because many young women are not qualified to teach such branches as agriculture, chemistry, physics and mathematics. All the young men who were majoring in these subjects are in the draft.
Mr. Johnson believes it is quite probable the standard for the high school instructor, which requires four years of service flag with nearly 800 stars.
Christmas Jobs Still Left

More men are wanted for jobs which will be waiting during the Christmas days, according to McKenry University secretary of the University Y. M. C. A. Odd jobs of furnace work and table waiting will be open for the student who remains in Lawrence.

Prof. Bailey Advises People of Lawrence To Economize on Fuel
Wood and Unscreened Coal Should Be Used Now To Prevent Coal Famine
"Conserve all the coal possible" is the advice of Prof. E. H. S. Bailey is giving by letter to the people of Lawrence today. "Now is the time to use emergency coal that in Januaries will not be the great shortage in coal anticipated."
"Any kind of fuel should be used now," says Professor Bailey. "Even the 'run of the mine' and 'unscreeled' coal burn well enough and supply heat. More wood should be consumed to lessen the hardship in the two coming months."
Authorities are dreading these months because there is so little reserve all over the country, and so much coal is needed for commercial purposes. The thirty per cent increase in the price since 1915, but government regulation has kept it down, in spite of great demand. As for wood, Professor Batley said there had been no regulation to keep it down for it, but $6.00 was a fair price.
"in the matter of heat," Professor Bailey said, "one cord of well-seasoned mixed wood is equal to a ton of average-grade bitumen coal. It is absolutely essential that we try to preheat a coal famine next month."

Laslett Will Captain Kansas Gridiron Team During 1918 Season
Popular End Wins Over Pringle In Close Contest By 15 to 13 Vote
M'Call Leads Cross Country
Jack Frost Enlists-Nielsen Will Be Called On Second Draft
Scrubby Laslett, star left end, was elected captain of the 1918 Jayhawk gridiron forces at the annual banquet given by the athletic management for the Varsity football and cross country squads at Bricken's Cafe last night. The captaincy rule required that each team contested Pringle by a fifteen to thirteen vote. Dana McCall, of Hiawatha, was elected captain of the cross country squad.
Laslett is a Lawrence boy and won notoriety on the high school football team before entering the University. He made the freshman squad in 1915, and won a reserve letter on the Varsity last year. He won the college basketball brilliance playing in the left wing position on this year's eleven. He is exceptionally popular among the players on the squad and also among the rooters.
LASLETT A VALLEY END
Many football critics here believe he should have been placed on the all-valley eleven. Along with Lonborg, all-valley right end, he won the admiration of rosters at every Jayhawk clash this season. He's still an offensive work But a very few yards have been gained by omosing teams around his end.
FROST LEAVES TO ENLIST
A rumor is current that the captain-elect will soon leave school to enlist, but it is very probable he will be back in Crimson and Blue football paraphernalia next fall in time for the opening grade two from joining the service because of the loss of a couple of fingers.
NIELSEN PLAYS LAST GAME
Frost was considered one of the most consistent players in the line, and made an enviable record. He was directly responsible for several Kansas touchdowns this season because of his versatility. Frost was one of the cleanest players in the valley and was liked by every player on the squad because of his congeniality.
Indications are at present that several of this year's regulars will be back to fight for their Alma Mater next season, although a few of the older players are in the second draft. Jack Frost, who played his last game for K. U. against Missouri Thanksgiving is the first of the regulars to enlist since the close of the football season. He was also the senior in a truck company of a supply train at San Diego, Cal., that will leave for France sometime in March.
Nielsen won a place in the hearts of the Jayhawker backers when he crossed the Cornhuskers' goalline last year at Lincoln for a 7 to 3 victory. He has also demonstrated his ability to plunge through the line several times. In the Kansas Aggie game when he lugged the ball over the Agile goal line for the only touchdown of the game. He leaves a clean record.
NIELSEN PLAYS LAST GAME
Another player that will not return
to the field is Nielsen, Nielsen,
who ranks as one of the hardest fight-
ing fullbacks in the valley. Nielsen
also played his last game against the
Tigers at Columbia Thanksgiving day,
and crossed the goal line for the
game, ending the season with the
honor touchdown of the season.
Professor Bryant To Aid Missouri Food Director
Vaughn Bryant, assistant professor of journalism of the University of Kansas, resigned his position yesterday to become assistant to the United States food administrator for Missouri, F. B. Mumford, of the University of Missouri. Mr. Bryant will leave for his new work January 1. He is a graduate of the University of Missouri and came to Kansas last September after teaching three years at the University of Texas.
Mr. Bryant accepted this position only because the work was for public service. He had to have war and Chancellor Strong accepted the resignation for the same reason.
Mr. Bryant's successor has not been chosen.

The War Here and Over There
A new slogan originated for a war bulletin reads: "Remember the boys in France are your boys. Do not eat food and they will get their bite."
The war council of the American Red Cross is in receipt of a statement from the Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of War approving the knitting of voluntary gifts for soldiers and sailors.
President Wilson will go before Congress sometime before Christmas with a plan to bring about the unification of railroads during the war. Some believe that he will ask for the suspension of anti-trust and anti-pooling laws, and allow the roads to operate as one system.
Heads of three of the warring nations are former university processors. Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States, was once president of Princeton University. Count Hertling, the German chancellor, or many years was professor of law at Princeton. Historian Brando, the new Italian premier, ised to be a professor of law in Sicily.

Roderick V. Reid, K. U. 15, is in Lawrence visiting friends for a few days before he reports for duty at Louisville, Ky. Mr. Reid has just returned from Ie Sheridan, Hl, where he commanded the lieutenant in the last training camp. He is not sure when he will be sent to France.
Recruiting Officers To Talk to Men On Military Preparation
Capt. Allen and Lieut. Blakesle Will Discuss Aviation and Physical Qualifications
In addition to this meeting the men will address the class in aeronautics which meets at 11 o'clock in Room 109, Marvin Hall. The class will be thrown open and all who are interested are urged to attend. The same will be true of the afternoon meeting. All men of the University should arrange to hear one of the addresses.
Capt. Harris C. Allen, of the aviation section of the Signal Corps, O. R. C., who is in charge of the aviation recruiting office at Kansas City, and Lieut. I. S. Blakeley, of the Medical Corps, will spend tomorrow in Lawrence, and will speak to the men in the drill companies at 4 o'clock in Fraser chapel. This will take the place of the hygiene class for freshmen, but all the companies will attend. Originally it had been planned to have these men here yesterday, but on account of the convocation that afternoon this Thursday, Captain Allen will speak on the opportunities and advantages of the aviation section of the Signal Corps, and Lieutenant Blakesley will give a brief account of the physical qualifications for the service.
Captain Allen has been quite popular with those who have met him in the office at Kansas City, and those who know him say he will have some interesting and valuable information for the students. The purpose in bringing Allen and Blakesley here, is to give the students some idea of the value of different lines of study in preparing themselves for rapid advancement after getting into the service.

Any person who has been assigned to a branch of military service—military, naval, aviation, medical, Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., scientific, and the like is asked to turn his name in. It is expected that much information will be collected in the camps where Kansas men are now in training. The idea of University service flags is proving popular among the different institutions over the country. The University of Missouri was one of the first universities to have them and now has a large service flag.

"Let me state that the problems of reconstruction that will come must be met without the best minds of the country, for as the best and keenest are the first to go, the best and keenest are the first to fall. If ever was a time to thrill the hearts of you men and women, it is now."
"England is just as democratic as this country," said Dr. George R. Parkin of London, traveling secretary of the Rhodes Scholarship Foundation, and Mr. Linda Hunt of the university yesterday. "To overcome the idea taught in the sixth grade of your schools that England is a tyrant nation, and to strengthen the union between the country and mine, is the most important thing for men to think about.
"Does not the fact that in the three days in which we considered the problem,—whereas it took your own country three men, your own man, or your conscription, on themselves for military service from a nation only twice the size of this state, prove that Great Britian is neither a despotic nor a tyrannical monarch, but an island and west they came, swept on by the one impulse to serve British honor.
"On England and America," Dr Parkin continued, "will rest the final brunf of the struggle. They stand as the fundamental defenders of the great cause. Russia is gone; it is doubtful if Italy will be in the fight much longer, and France is at the limit of her man power. England is giving her utmost, and doing it cheerfully.
"You should try to study the relations of our two great countries. There are no laborers in your House or Senate, while there are seventy miners, farmers, and factory hands represented in our House of Commons. Instead of casting our good men aside, we could ask the people of Lords, where we may have their services when they are needed. We wouldn't sleep in our beds a night if we did not think we could throw out our government within a week.

Red Cross Workers Will Meet Tonight at Chamber of Commerce
Large Cross Will Indicate Progress of Campaign For Membership
Headquarters At 810 Mass.
Lawrence Business College Will Equip And Conduct Office
One hundred and fifty Red Cross workers will meet tonight at a banquet at the Chamber of Commerce to formulate definite plans for the Red Cross in the county. The county and to arouse enthusiasm for the work of the organization.
Red Cross headquarters will open tomorrow at 810 Massachusetts Street. The office will be fully equipped and conducted by the Lawrence Business College. In the front office, there is a cross nine feet square. As the membership increases this cross will be painted red. By the time the drive is completed it is hoped that the cross will be entirely red, since it has been made just large enough to accommodate the membership expected. Each cross thermometer will also have its separate thermometer, as these crosses are called.
"The Red Cross membership drive is a national movement of great importance," said Prof. F. W. Blackmar this morning, "and its purpose is to get every man, woman, and child to join and co-operate in the work. The active drive in Douglas county will begin on December 17 and close before Christmas. On the night before Christmas the victory will be celebrated.
"The University is not making a drive for membership, but many students and instructors are signing up for membership at Mr. Foster's office. There is an opportunity for every one to become a member of the organization."
This Is A Bad Week For Measles On Hill Because of Cold Wave
Hospital Authorities Warn University Students of Danger Of Epidemic
This week is the time that messes are apt to break out among University students, say hospital authorities, who are attending at the Missouri game. Thanksgiving.
Another member of the band who has a more serious case is reported much better and probably will be able to leave the hospital in about a week. The third person at the hospital on account of measles is said not to have been vaccinated, but under the quarantine, but remains under the care of a town physician.
Three cases have been treated at the University hospital, the first appearing the day of the Nebraska game. A member of the band has recovered from the disease and has left the hospital.
Measles are infectious in its early stages. It starts with a cold in the head, coughing, and sneezing, three days before actual breaking out. This latter stage varies from a week to two weeks, some from a month or less, usually once having the disease, but others may contract it more than once.
Forecast for Wednesday: Cloudy and much colder tonight, with light snow in extreme eastern portion. Thursday generally fair; colder in east and south portion; strong northerly winds.

Kanza Fraternity Has Twenty-one Stars In Flag
The Kanza Fraternity is lying a service flag with twenty-one stars, representing the men of the organization who are in service of their country.
One man, W. G. Whitten, second lieutenant, is with the A. E. F. in France, while one man is in aviation service. The artillery is probably the most popular branch of the service among the Kanzas.
Plain Tales From The Hill
My Dear Old Rooming House!
I love to lie in bed on Sunday mornin
And watch the cob-web dangle from the ceiling;
While sand and plaster,
From beneath the busted wall paper.
Fill both mine eyes.
Fears full of joy.
And sand. And plaster.
Course down my rosy cheeks. I try to study.
My rooie sings and whistles as he works.
He's a very pleasant roomie Across the hall
A trombone moans a shrapnel mel-
ody.
A vocalist has swallowed both her tonsils.

And then didn't reach high C;
And then didn't reach high C;
A typewriter clacks and rattles;
A banjo jingles;
A piano thumps;
And the landlady is cooking onions

my hair.
Miss Brown's rhetoric class was discussing what is and what is not slang. One member of the class asked if the word "date" were slang. Miss Brown, her checks flaming more and more, replied: "I don't like that word—it isn't good and isn't new and isn't at all interesting to me."
I love to in my rooming house, But I'd rather go to war.
And you know what Sherman said war was.
The Old Fight Again
The most desperate person in the world: a cup reporter without a pencil.
It is time now for the women to begin the fight about the way some men dress to come to school. Every year some fault finding man begins to "hollow" about the women wearing silk dresses, thin waists and semi-slim fit clothes to class. The women haven't anything on some of the men this year.
One man in particular steps out in an expensive velvet hat with gloves to match, and an overcoat so tight as to make breathing impossible. He sets off by a perfectly beautiful black fur collar. All that is lacking to make him look like a Fifth Avenue loiterer is a cane. Do not be misled he's not a walking fashion sheet; he's all doldled up to come to school.
The professor was showing the class in Education some examples of early textbooks, the Hornbook, New England Speller, and the like.
"Here," he said, "is an arithmetic and some of the terms used you might not understand. Miss Rouse. You think a vulgar fraction="
"A vulgar fraction?" answered Robert Why, an improper fraction, of course.
In Professor Kruse's Wallenstein class yesterday, he was explaining how certain nouns got gender. In speaking of the gender of "cat" he said: "Now you would naturally expect 'cat' to be masculine gender. But it's not. It is feminine—probably because of its characteristic of soft purling, its desire to be cuddled and petted, and then, too, because it scratches."
Question: How does a professor know such things?
It was a dark morning. The whistle for the 8 o'clock classes was about to blow, and Mary was frantically trying to find a lead penail. Now, Mary had to make an 8 o'clock class; she had to walk from 841 Mainer and the 8 o'clock class on day before she had seen a friend make beautiful eyebrows with a lead pencil, and now Mary wanted to make beautiful eyebrows, too. Finally she found a stubby pencil away back in a corner of her desk. She hastened to mirror and in the semi-door soon satisfied her desire for beautiful brows.
Everyone who met Mary that morning looked at her curiously, and she congratulated of her eyebrows, held her hand to her face, and looked going home she met her room-mate.
"Why, Mary?" exclaimed the roommate, "What have you done to your eye-brows? They are all purple." Mary gasped. She hurried home and asked where she had met the pencil. She nearly fainted. The pencil was indelible.

Books, Magazines and Phonograph Records In Co.M Christmas Box
Faculty and Students Asked To Donate These Things For University's Soldiers
Will Be Accepted In Fraser
Checkstand Open Tomorrow and Friday to Receive Gifts Car Goes Monday
Books, magazines, and phonograph records will be put in the Christmas box which the University will send to Company M the K. U. national guard unit in the car from Lawyers this company is encamped at Fort St. Oklahoma.
The W. S. G. A. is in charge of collecting these presents. Members of the council will be at the check stand in Fraser Hall all day tomorrow and will be meeting again onations of students. Handbills about plan were distributed at noon today.
New books and magazines will be greatly appreciated but second hand books and old magazines will also be accepted. Captain F. E. Jones, in command of the unit, reports that the company has few books as well and that all the magazines are worn out. Standard books as well as those on top tempt students to purchase books from every student in the University is the aim of the council.
The original plan had been to send candy but officers reported in a telegram to Chancellor Strong that the men had candy sent to them by individuals but that gifts of books and records were few.
All such gifts must be brought to Fraser Hall, Thursday and Friday, because the Christmas car will leave for Camp Doniphan Monday and Saturday and Sunday will be required for packing the material.
"We shall have plenty of food and probably candy," says the telegram from Capt. F. E. Jones. "We have a Victoria but are short on records. Either books or records would be very welcome."
K. U. Medical Students Sign for Enrollment In Enlisted Reserve
Application Blanks Received
Members of Reserve Exempt
From Selective Draft
Application blanks for the use of the students in the Medical School who wish to enroll in the Medical Reserve Corps were received today and are now being filled out by the men. There are 150 students in the School who have been being subject to draft age, forty-seven being subject to the second draft.
By enrolling in the Enlisted Reserve Corps, a medical student gains virtual exemption from the selective draft. He may continue his work in school as before, reporting to the army medics, but not to serve with him, but being subject to call at any time.
The blanks applying for enrollment in the reserves are in affidavit form and consist of two kinds, only slightly different, one for those who have had a military duty and the other for those who have not. The application is directed to the surgeon-general of the army and the applicant asks that he be ordered to report to the local board at once for military duty and that be inducted into the Reserve Corps, sweeping asks to be then discharged from the National Army for the purpose of enlisting in the Reserve Corps, sweeping that he has no claim for exemption. The applicant must enclose with his affidavit a copy of the local board's request for him to appear for physician appointments as follows, these words expressing practically the entire extent of the imprint: "I do hereby pledge myself to enlist in the Medical Enlisted Reserve Corps and to promptly respond either before or after my appointment." The surgeon-general to active duty."
Many of the medies probably will enlist in the hospital apprentice, first class, but it is rather more difficult to obtain admission into the navy than into the army. The applicant must present his citizenship and age certificates, a statement from the dean of his school stating that he is a student in good standing, and another that appears him to be fini-cially able to carry on his studies. These must be presented in person or by letter to the medical aide of the commandant of the local naval district.
The meeting of Chemistry Club which was to be held in Room 306 Chemistry Building, has been post-poned until next week.

DO UNTO OTHERS
Every day increasing demands for clothing, hospital supplies, and food-stuffs are coming from Uncle Sam's boys overseas. Where hundreds of articles of clothing have been sent, we soon must send thousands. Where pounds of supplies and foodstuffs have been sent, we soon must send tons.
The Red Cross is the one volunteer organization which has proven itself big enough and broad enough to take up this work,to perform this service to our armies,our allies,our nation.
Perhaps you are not expecting to enter the national service soon. If not, then listen to the still small voice of mercy, take that dollar, and become a member of the Red Cross. Every lapel decorated means one less grave in France.
SPARE THE WORD
If German spies could only be convinced that old North College is of value to the United States, the University authorities might be relieved of the necessity of tearing it down
Camouflage and sign painting.
Bless those who do it! But the art is becoming a quack. For is there the classroom, alleged amusement column, high school paper, or freshman theme that doesn't employ camouflage in some far fetched or near sighted attempt at cleverness or French?
Geographically and pathetically, it has gone away over and beyond both “There” and “The Top.” “Somewhere” can no longer be distinguished for camouflage.
Of all the arts, camouflage—forgive the word—is today the most applied. It is applied to last year's hat, the complexion, landscapes and wheatless days. It is also used to a moderate extent on the west war front.
Time was when the word had just come over and was new. Retiring and moderately modest persons sa'd nothing, not knowing how it ought to be pronounced. But universal education for once put in well its time. At present progress, one may soon expect to hear the baby in the jam-pot or the pudle explain himself with lisping "camoflage."
No one, nothing seeks honest deciet any more. Whomever or whatnot would be disguised, or thinks he would, is a follower of the French school. Folks no longer masquerade; they camouflage. One must even suppose that the good people he meets are "angels in camouflage."
it will soon be time to establish a fund and society for the relief of the French in art—and out of it—University of Washington Daily.
A Christmas suggestion: Avoid that slump in class work just before the holidays and you will not feel bound to put those books in your suitcase when you go home.
ALIVE BUT DEAD
If they have discussed nothing else the various war relief campaigns have revealed the fact that all kinds of people populate Mt. Oread. Here is a person who will drag out his last dollar when solicited for the Friendship Fund, and there is one in whom the same soliciting arouses nothing but obstinacy. The one is moved b; appeal; the other becomes set in his unreasonableness.
In prosecuting the war, the nation is engaged in too big a job to make it profitable to deal individually with the type of person whose responsive nature can be discovered only after a laboratory analysis. Fortunately most of us are alike to the extent that we are not invulnerable to appeal. The American people have been preached to from the beginning of the war and have taken and heeded advice with a willingness that might seem improbable of a nation so firmly intrenched in the ideals of democracy.
In the end it will be realized that a successful war was made possible by citizens who became neither angry when preached to, nor stubborn when given advice; rather by citizens willing to live and learn. The fortune is ours that the unit of American nationality on the Hill is of this type.

Headline—“K. U. co-eds are returning to primeval nature.” Ladies, is this a war measure?
Even at that the Kaiser's faith in Praetorius tells him to expose himself to gun-fire.
Someone has reported that ants in Nicaragua are displaying knowledge of military tactics. Is this also to be ascribed to German propaganda?
The consoling fact in the announcement that the tallest man in K. U. has left out erudite company is that from the very nature of things we still have a tallest one left. Who is he now?
The Bureau of Internal Revenue announces that the number of millionaires in America has doubled since 1915. What we poor unts would like to know is how long is history of this sort going to repeat itself.
It is presumed that our faculty men have chosen military drill in preference to gym. The choice is wise, for, between a bunch of professors in track suits and a bunch in conservative chinchillas there are all to plainly revealed the truth of the assertion that "the clothes make the man."

State Officers Join Lawrence Citizens In Gift to Soldiers at Fort, Sill
t Fort Sill
Indications are that the Christmas car to Fort Sill will be overloaded with gifts. The idea is something out of the ordinary and is receiving the backing of Governor Capper, Senator William H. Thompson, District Attorney Fred Robertson and Gen. W. H. Spars.
Governor Capper sent a check for $10 to T. J. Sweeney of the People's State Bank, who is chairman of the movement, and suggested that he use it in the best possible way. Often the officer received from officers of the Fraternal Aid Union.
The car will leave Lawrence December 19 and will be accompanied by Mr. Swweeney. Gifts will be assured of a better delivery under this scheme than if they were mailed by parcel post or mail, but if they are shipped express to Fort Sill will be overloaded with gifts to the other thirty thousand soldiers encamped there.
With a view of facilitating the work of knitting for soldiers the department of home economics is investigating the practicability of knitting machines. If they are practical for use without expert attention, the department of home economics or Red Cross unit may buy one.
Red Cross Investigates Machine-made Knitting
The Red Cross unit of St. Louis advises the home economies department here that knitting machines used there cost $20, that they are complex, and that an American firm is in California, according to a Red Cross report one-third of the product from the knitting machines had to be thrown away because the machines had pulled the yarn too tight. From Chicago, however, comes many knitting machines and knitting machines. They are used extensively in the churches there.
It is urged that if women must operate knitting machines when the war pressure becomes heavy, they experience in the work immediately.

Prof. Hill Announces Date of Debates With Oklahoma and Colorado
Only One Veteran In This Year's Squad, But New Material Is Good
The triangular debate with Oklahoma and Colorado will be March 8, according to final arrangements made by Prof. Howard T. Hill with those two universities. The date of the Missouri debate has not been set, but it probably will be in the last week of March.
Fifteen debaters chosen at the try-out last week will start work before the Christmas vacation. In January they will begin holding regular practices in preparation for the final contest. The nine men who will represent the University will be chosen shortly before the time of the debates.
The subject for the triangular debate is, "Resolved, That the Federal Government will deal with Deprived of the Power to Declare Acts of Congress Unconstitutional," Kansas will take the affirmative of this question here against Colorado, and the negative with Oklahoma at the same time. The bill will be composed of three men.
Kansas will debate against Missouri on the question: "Resolved, That the Terms of Settlement of This War Should Include a League to Enforce Peace." The sides on this question have not been decided upon.
"Much interest is being shown in debating this year as is shown by the large number to try out for the team," said Professor Hill, coach of the debating squad. "Only one old debater is out but many new men showed up exceptionally well in the preliminaries. 'Are team this year will be up to the usual high standard of Kansas debating teams."
Kansas won the debate with Mis souri last year, but lost the triangular debate.
Suggests Twenty Books For Army Xmas Gifts
Something he'd like, something that wouldn't upset his stomach and that might keep him from feeling lonesome the occasional hours off duty. Those are some of the qualifications a gift for a soldier should have. They are characteristics that make books particularly valuable for Christmas gifts for the boys in the training camp. In fact, many English, suggests the following list of books to pick from in choosing a soldier's Christmas present:
Pickwick Papers, The Count of Monte Cristo, Huckleberry Finn, Tom Sawyer, Roughing It, Heart of the West, by O. Henry; The Gentle Grafter, by O. Henry; Strictly Business, by The Breakfast Table, The Professor at the Breakfast Table, The Ingolby釉 Legends, The Red Badge of Courage, Some of Life's Ideals, by William James; The Mayor of Casterbridge, the Meditator of Mermais, Appalachian Poetique; Joseph Vance; An Open-Eye Conspiracy, by W. D. Howells; Under the Greenwood Tree, Gold.
High-heeled Shoes Injure Men's Feet!
"The men as well as the women are having trouble with their feet since the military drill has been established," said a nurse at the University hospital this morning. The doctors advise low-heeled shoes, with wide toes and a straight line on the inside of the shoe.
Army shoes have already become popular with the men students as they find they can do better drill work and keep their feet in much better condition. The hospital authorities advise that the women also will see the necessity of keeping the feet healthy and will wear "common sense" shoes.

TOMORROW
Dockeray's Examinations Give Those In College High Standing—Some Are Perfect
MAE MURRAY IN "PRINCESS VIRTUE"
College students are of considerably more than average intelligence. This conclusion is to be drawn from tests made by Professor F. C. Dockeryer of the department of psychology. The tests which he has received account of the student and not the amount of training which he has received.
A hundred and fifty students of the University of Kansas have been tested. On a basis of one hundred as normal average intelligence the grades of the students run from 90 to 122 which is perfectly acceptable. Of those tested at least a dozen have had a perfect grade. Only six go as low as 99.
The estimated average for those tested is slightly more than 113. Professor T. H. Roberts students with the grades of the students at the end of the semester.
Track Team Prospects Pick Up As 1918 Season Of Actual Work Starts
Much Promising Material Returns From Last Season's Squad—No Captain Yet
Pat Murphy, half-miler; Carl Rice, high jumper; and Joe Casey, hurdler and weight man, are some of the veterans back but with the material from last year's freshman squad, the team should be well in the running.
Prospects for a winning track team are not at all disheartening. Although the team is weakened by the loss of Captain Dorman O'Leary, it is strengthened by the addition of Marshall Haddock who does the sprints, shot and discus in good fashion.
The following is a list of the men who have shown ability in track work, according to Fred Rodkey, who is assisting Conn.

Contents for the Christmas box to be sent to Company M, the University national guard unit at Fort Sill, Oka homa, are being brought in according to the requirements of the Government Association, who are in charge of their collection at the cheek
Twelve books had been received at noon today and twenty more promised. Ten phonograph records have been found, and a considerable sum of money.
With the showing that has been made this morning, the women in charge of the work expect a large box will be made up by Friday afternoon. Contributions will be received at the cheek stand on the first floor of Fraser Hall tomorrow until 3 o'clock in the evening. The boxes are reserved for packing the box in order that it may be sent out Monday in the Lawrence Christmas car.
The books that have been brought in are of a good quality, and every student is urged to contribute a good book or its equivalent. Such books as On behalf of the Everyman's series are cited as examples of the type wanted. They may be either new or second-hand. Phonograph records are much in need by the company and friends of the person asked to contribute them if possible.
Magazines are acceptable, but it is urged that late numbers be given. Contributions of money are wanted if it impossible to give other gifts.
"A Merry Christmas for Company M is the idea of the work we are doing," said a member of the W. S. G. A. this morning.
Capt. F. E. Jones has written in urging the need of reading matter and records for the company Victrola, rather than food or candy, both of which he says they will probably have plenty.
Plays Were Given In Form Of Stewart Walker's Portmanteau Theaters
Blackfriars Presented Two Plays, Last Night
The first was a comedy, "A Pot of Broth," written by W. B. Yeats. The cast was as follows: The Beggarmann Browning; The Wagoner Brown; Sibyl Coneely, Eva Haven.

The staging of the play was similar to the Stewart Walker type, and unchanged in character. He marked the play a success. The play is laid in a cottage kitchen of an Irish peasant. Superstition and Irish braggartry was well interpreted by the girl who played the little old beggar who earned his living by his wits, played the part well.
"Riders to the Sea," is a tragedy of Irish peasant fisher-folk, written by John Syngne. The scene is set in an Irish kitchen in the Aran group of riders to the Sea* has a historic value as well as dramatic possibilities.

Measles and tonsilitis are the only two contagious or infectious diseases among University students now, according to University health authori-
No new cases of measles had developed at noon today, although University Hospital authorities expect several as the result of the exposure of some students to a cure of measles two weeks ago. A throat irritation caused by an infection of the disease, and it is during this stage the disease is most contagious.
Many cases of tonsillitis have been reported. The health service asks students with colds or sore throats to visit the University Hospital for treatment.
"Threat gargiles and rest are the best treatments for tonsil infection," said Miss Mary Haight, superintendent of the hospital. "None of the new cases has been caused by chronically diseased tonsils. All cases are analyzed carefully since the streptococcus organisms associated with tonsilitis are responsible for various other throat diseases."

Christmas Presents Urged
By Prof. Van der Vries
"Another opportunity is also offered to students and residents of Lawrence. The aim of the drive is to place the Red Cross service flag in every home, but there are a number of homes in Lawrence that have been bulldozed where will 'force the humiliation of not taking part in this bit of patriotism.
"The Red Cross Drive is promoting the spirit of self-sacrifice in Lawrence," said Prof. J. N. Van der Vries this morning, "and the people who have been Red Cross members mas spirit. For instance, many persons are giving Red Cross memberships as Christmas presents. A membership makes a very nice present for a baby so that in later years this person was a member during the great war.
"Any one who is willing to help can do so by sending a dollar or more to the Red Cross headquarters, which will see that the flag is hung in a home where would otherwise be denied the pleasure of seeing it. If red, the name of the donor will be written with the flag on a Red Cross Christ card."

One person who has heard of this plan has sent a check for $25 to Professor Van der Vries, and several other out memberships to give as presents.

The plan of giving scholarships will be resumed after the war. Students who have been graduated during the years since 2014 will also be awarded scholarships.
The Rhodes scholarship for honor students of the universities of this country has been discontinued for the period of the war was the announcement made by George R. Parkin, traveling secretary for the administration of the University in an address before the University Club Tuesday night.

Class Football Men Work Hard D. spite Snow and CoId Wave
First Game Will Be Saturday With Juniors and Freshman In Action
Coaches of the interclass football teams are driving their men hard for the preliminary games Saturday, in spite of the snow and cold weather which has prevailed this week and has made good workouts almost impossible. Both the junior-freshman and sophomore-senior games are scheduled Tuesday and the winners will meet next week for the championship of K. U.
The juniors are certain to make a strong bid for the title and Coach Stem Foster believes they will plough through any opposition they may come up against. Many junior players were members of the Varsity squash this fall and the knowledge of the game which they gained under Coaches Olecott and Bond will undoubtedly serve them to success. The junior teams include Hilton, Haddock, Bell and Hobart make up the junior backfield, while Arnold, Russell, Harms, Zoelner, Gregory and the Doe brothers have been showing class in the line.
The sophomores have been plugging away hard this week and Coach George Nettles says his athletes are thriving. He said he lives he has an aggregation which will be on top when the final whistle is sounded. The second year men boast of an exceptional bunch of bunks with Loren Simon, former freshman star, a full Ray Davis and John Hearn. His regular school, carrying the ball.
It is probable that Webb Wilson, quarterback on the 1916 freshman team, will call the signals for the sophomores. Bunn, Simon and Wilson played together on last year's tyre eleven, and Coach Nettels expects teamwork and speed around the ends to win for his men. Cal Biler, Shep Bishop, Horace Rich, Handel Howard Cooper, and Barleenbaugh are other promising candidates for the second year eleven.
The real strength of the freshman team is unknown, but the two coaches. Pihgle and Lonborg, have been recruiting the best players to mould the first year men into a powerful machine, and with the help of many men who were members of this year's yearling squad, the fresh should be the juniors a stiff battle Saturday.
It is not known yet whether the seniors will put a team in the field. Not enough men reported to make a team last year, and indications are that the same thing will happen this season. Coach Hull said few seniorsbad answered for practice and it was doubtful if they would be able to play with them. The coaches don't play the sophomores will meet the winner of the junior-freshman game just before the Christmas vacation in the deciding game.
Vocational Expert Will
Talk at Women's Forum
Mrs. William Cramer, who has charge of the Vocational Bureau of the Associated Collegiate Alumnae in Kansas City, will lecture on "Business Opportunities for Women" at a joint meeting of the local branch of A.C.A. and the Woman's Forum on Saturday, Room 110, Fraser Hall. This is the first of a series of business lectures which the A.C.A. is planning to present.
For the accommodation of students who wish to do their bit toward their country, Baby Bonds will be placed on sale at the University Postoffice, according to Registrar George O. Foster. Although they have not been received at the University Registrar Foster expects to have them soon.
Mrs. Cramer will remain here Saturday and any women who wish to talk with her can arrange for conferences through Miss Alice Winston, for Saturday morning between the hours of 9:00 and 10:00 o'clock.
Baby Bonds Will Be Sold
From Hill Postoffice
Four dollars will buy a Baby Bond, and if 12 cents is added, at the end of five years the Governor will purchase for five dollars. Baby Bonds can also be bought on the installment plan. Special stamps, valued at twenty-five dollars, are required for the purpose. Sixteen of the stamps are necessary to complete a Baby Bond.

Stop Street Cars To Get Electricity for Cooking
Many Families Prepare Tea and Toast on Bottom of Electric Irons
As long as the cold weather lasts, the University will have to get along on one street car less every day at 5:30 o'clock and at noon. One of the streets where the sacuettes line have been taken off at the same time, to save power. There is scarcely any water power now because of the frozen condition of the Kaw river. The present electric light is installed in most buildings, at least until the weather moderates.
The gas shortage, also, is another reason why electricity has to be saved every night by turning off the street lights. A large percentage of the families of Lawrence have had to resort to electricity for cooking. Not a single electric grill or toaster remains in the stores.
Several families, who are dependent on gas for cooking, have originated a very primitive, yet a very efficient, method of heating by using the back of an electric iron. The Electric Light Company decided it would be better to turn off the street light and use a fire extinguisher, the number of cars, than to deprive the people of the current for cooking.

What! Spies in the Sig Alph house? Or Germans, or Austrians? Three companies ran from the golf links on the side of Mount Oread through ditch tunnels. The latter's armored struggled up toward said building. But no, the major halts them in the road before they reach the house. The American flair hangs from the porch, and the house is a bit another imaginary trench gained by the student soldiers.
Overheard in the Gym the other day: "Gosh, we were boxing away instants, and he snapped me one on his shoulder." And this was from an instructor.
Perhaps he had been reprimanded for not saluting or he was afraid that he would not do it properly when the time came. Anyhow, as he walked along on the west part of the campus where he was sure no one was watching him, he practiced some quick moves and quickly learned to salute he was keeping himself warm. He forgot the Geology Building might be occupied.

When the night of the party came, the north wind was whistling around the corners at sixty an hour and the thermometer was in danger of contracting pneumonia. He couldn't walk the lady to the hall. So a taxi was procured. Taxi men charge money for their services.
Then after the pledge had tripped around the hall once or twice, a brother tapped him on the shoulder. Yes, just a little brotherly advice. Kindly look at the left lapel of the coat. The pledge in his haste had forgotten his pledge button. A cold, windy trip to the kitchen brought Unionion to the messenger sent for the button. Messengers charge for their services.
Later the pledge discovered that cafe owners charge for their services. And last but not least the pledge discovered that a fine was levied for the use of the coffee shop from Verly, the high cost of daming is rapidly becoming higher.

Medic Students Get Order to Enlist In Reserve Immediately
Many Left For Kansas City Today After Notice Was Announced
Gorgas Wires Instructions
Call
Men Will Not Leave Classes But Must Sign Up For Later
Dr. Sundwall:
The telegram follows:
Notice that medic students must enlist in the Medical Reserve Corps before Saturday, was contained in a telegram received today from W. C. Gorgas, surgeon-general of the Army by Dr. John Sundwalt. Many students in classes to go to Kansas City to enlist when the order was announced.
Send second, third, and fourth year students not yet enlisted in the Medical Reserve Corps to nearest recruiter. Send your resume easily. Send in order of draft number.
Medical students specified in the order will go to Kansas City today, where they will be given physical examinations. Those who pass the examination will be given statements that they are enlisted in the Medical Reserve Corps, subject to call at any time either before or after graduation. This means that they will probably receive medical courses, since it is not anticipated that many students will be called before graduation.
There are about 125 medics on the Hill. Thirty-five or forty sophomores are subject to the draft, while five or six freshmen are sixty freshmen medics, but they are not allowed to enlist in the Medical Reserve Corps. Among the thirty-five students at Rosedale one man is subject to the draft, being one day too old.
Tomorrow is the last day for enlistment in the Medical Reserve. Students who fail to enlist by that will be called to the regular draft.
University Women Knit For Lawrence Red Cross
Scarcity of Yarn on Hill Makes Students Co-operate With Downtown Unit
"We are glad to have the assistance of the university students in our Red Cross work," Mrs. C. S. Hall, chairman of the knitting committee of the Lawrence unit of the Red Cross, said yesterday. "The only requirement is that they bring in the knitted garment within a specified time, which is usually three weeks from the time it 's taken out.
"Because of a scarcity of knitting yarn on the Hill, more than a dozen students were here last week and checked out material for sweaters, helmets, or scarfs," Mrs. Hall said. "One woman came down yesterday for the girls in her for 9 scarfs for the girls in her W. S. G. A. District.
"The University is well represented in our work. Rev. Roy Burt, a student on the Hill, is secretary of this unit. Efficient work is being done by Mrs. Frank Strong, by the wives of many of the faculty members, and by students of fraternity chapels. "Our work is progressing rapidly." Mrs. Hall added. "A shipment of one hundred and sixty pounds of knitted garments was sent out yesterday, making out the third shipment since October 8."
The University Club Is Now a Cold, Cold Place
The University Club is calling in its lost ones after having been without heat for several days. Owing to this minus heat problem they have been sponging on the other members of the university free from the free and bursted炉器 caused the "suffering." The unfortunate faculty members who have had to put up with the mercury hovering around the zero mark, ought to be able to sympathize with their fellows and study in such rooms to get long assignments.
In order to keep warm, so it is said, some of the faculty members are entertaining with a dance tonight. They may be setting an example for the students to solve the heat question.
Last Night Was Cold
The temperature went down to 8 degrees below zero last night, which is the coldest December record that the city has ever recorded in the last twenty-five years.

The Daily Kananan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students rather than merely printing the news by standing for them. Students are told to pay no favorities; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to encourage leave more serious heads to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
THURSDAY, DEC. 13, 1917.
The 1917 football season has passed but the memories of the team that made it a success will not vanish so quickly. It is true that our battling eleven failed to bring home the Missouri Valley championship,-failed by a narrow chance; but they have won the greater victory,--that of going through the entire season with nothing but the best of spirit among the men themselves, and with nothing but the best of co-operation between the team and the coaches. Never since K. U. first took to the gridiron sport has the general morals of the team been better or the hearty will to do or die been more in evidence.
With the excitement of the war to detract from all else, football has not had a chance to become first in the minds of the students as it has many times in the past, but K. U. should awake to the realization of the duty that it owes a distinct debt of gratitude to these men who have so cheerfully endured the bruises, taken the punishment, and then came back day after day for more,—all that the name of Kansas should lack neither of honor or wholesome respect.
A few of our men, as usual, have earned the greater honor of being selected for the first All-Valley team. We congratulate them, but, at the same time, we must call attention to the fact that it was not the individual work of a few men that made K. U. feared this year, but rather combined efforts of an evenly-balanced squad, each man giving all that he had in him. It was fight; it was gameness; it was good will that landed the Jahayh in second place.
Now, people of K. U., if you feel that Swede and his fighting band have upheld the glory of past years—yea even surpassed it, then let the boys feel your appreciation. They are human and will enjoy knowing that their work is appreciated. Give them the glad hand and make them feel it.
MORE PUNCH NEEDED
There seems to be a certain lack of punch in the K. U. regiment. Some ascribe this to the powers that be; others see its source in the timbre of the cadet officers; others place the blame on the lack of uniforms; and still others believe the cause of it all is the rawness of the rookies. Whatever the source may be, there should be more "kick" in the conducting of the drills.
Of course, it is impossible to train a body of six hundred men into any kind of shape in four hours a week; and, of course, the plan is new. But, if we are going to play at soldier, let's play with a vim. If we can't have the vim, some of us should seed amusement in other directions.
ON KEEPING FIT
Preparedness for national defense demands that every individual keep himself physically fit to share in the
patriotic work of serving the nation.
There is not a student in the University to whom this does not apply. It applies to all; it applies to you.
The student who has the heaviest classroom work is the last person who can safely ignore the requirements for regular exercise in the open air. Insufficient exercise, which is necessarily weakening mentally and physically, is often the first step to unhealthy habits. Now seriously ask yourself if you are negligent as regards ventilation, if you deprive yourself of needed sleep and if you overheat day after day. In this day of strife everyone is called, and everyone must respond.
MISGUIDED NATIONALISM
An Englishman from England spoke Tuesday to the students in the University of Kansas. A considerable part of his address was a guarded attempt to preserve good feeling among his listeners. He found it necessary, from experience perhaps, to use unexamined tact in telling young Americans that England, far from being a tyrannical nation, is in fact a democracy, greater even perhaps than the United States. He found it necessary to so guard his language that the traditional resentment in this country for England and things English dating back to 1776, might not be aroused.
This condition so clearly pictured yesterday afternoon is more than lamentable; it is pitiful. And Mr. Parkin is right in his assertion that American education is to blame. Perhaps no defect of American common school education is more to be criticized at this time than the use of certain pervious grade school histories. If after a hundred and forty years, an Englishman cannot come to America and tell the truth about England without half apologies to a misguided public, it is high time for American educators to begin seeing the writing on the wall.
It is sincerely to be hoped that it will be seen before the sixth graders of today enter the universities. Speakers from England should not always have to spend time undoing the work of cheap historians who do not know the difference between patriotism and bigotry.
Hilltop Philosophy
We know now why K. U. is turning out so many successful candidates for the aviation service. They got their training by learning to maintain their equilibrium while climbing Mount Oread in the winter.
Many a lazy motive is hid under the patriotic plea "I think it's just awful to spend a lot on Christmas this year."
And now isn't it about time for the annual agitation for an honor system in giving examinations?
No doubt some of the sensations of "hitching one's wagon to a star" are felt these days when gazing at the silent, beautiful snow, we are suddenly brought to the realization of the fact that after all it is the cement sidewalk that constitutes the sadder, truer experience.
We recommend as a subject for the next meeting of the K. U. Alumni Association, "Before Kansas Became a Seminary."
It is somewhat of a jolt to the raw recruit to learn that instead of being a ready help to his country he makes it necessary for some trained person to stay at home and instruct him in the new business of war.
An evidence of a student's idea of preparedness is shown when he pushes up his stocking cap over one ear on his shoulders. You can see him the uncomfortable feeling in class.
Eight o'clock classes are a source of real pleasure at present, especially to those who can stay under cover windows and turn on the heat.
Baker University is considering the proposed plan of holding classes on alternate Mondays, thus shortening the term three weeks.
Foolish question No. 10095: Are some of the K. U. professors going to spring quizzes the day before the Christmas vacation?
The government has established a naval training station on the campus of the University of Washington. It is reported that it is to be made a permanent government training station,

Evening clothes by Hart Schaffner & Marx
THERE'S still some of that old-fashioned idea left that dress clothes have to be made to order; and how very foolish it is.
When you can come in here, pick out the fabric you want, and the style; see the finished suit and try it on; like it or dislike it, whichever you wish; and buy it or not, just as you choose.
Looking at it is merely a matter of business; you don't buy it unless you really like it and want it.
Hart Schaffner & Marx have put their best workmanship into these evening clothes; they're fine in every detail, from the Italian silk linings to the way the lapel is rolled.

They have experimented with the making of soups and have found that good soups may be made entirely of vegetables. The basis of the soup may be any kind of beans, black, navy, kidney, or soy; dried, spilt, cooked, boiled or fried in corn. For thickening whole grains are used either of wheat, oats, barley, rice, rye, kaffir corn or fetemia, and a small quantity of flour.

Give Jewelry for Christmas
Of all gifts, none are so eloquently expressive of the Christmas spirit as jewelry and precious stones. Gifts that outlast a lifetime, many giving the joy of possession to several generations—must be regarded as economical regardless of the initial cost. Their inherent values take them out of the class of mere purchase and place them on par with staple investments. In Parsons' jewelry is reflected the certainty of value that years of experience insures.

Hard Work Is Program For Kansas Quintet Until Opening Battle
Jayhawker Prospects Are Not As Promising As Last Season
Varsity Five Is Outplayed
With the opening Missouri Valley Conference basketball game only a little more than four weeks away, Coach W. O. Hamilton is working hard over time rounding the Jayhawker quintet into form. The coach is putting the Varsity squad through a series of practices and serimbres every after preparation for the opening clash here January 17 and 18, with Ames.
Kansas prospects are not as bright as they were at the beginning of the season last year, but some good players are out to make the team and after a couple more weeks of practice it is believed the machine will be working much better. At present the quintet lacks the necessary teamwork, and also the vim that characterized last year's five.
VARSITY TAKES SMALL LEAD
VARISITY TAKES SMALL LEAD
In the scrimage with the Varsie,
yesterday afternoon, the Varsie
succeeded in piling a six-point-
ple of ice, the fifteen minutes of
play. The freshmen were ahead until
the last five minutes of play when
the regulars struck its stride and
made three baskets in quick succession.
The Varsity lineal consisted of Fearing and Miller, forwards; Mathews, center; Captain Uhlrau and Devenish. He was not on the practice, but was not suited up. He has been out for a couple of the scrimmages the last week, however, and will likely be back in his old position at guard in the scrimmage this after

in the scoring yesterday afternoon,
Fearing and Miller succeeded in making about an equal number of baskets.
Mathews and Uhlrub also connected for a basket each, while Uhlrub made one free throw. One of the principal reasons for the score Variety wrote did not get the signals as they should. Mathews got the tip at center most of the time, but the freshmen succeeded in gaining possession of the ball.
When Laslett gets back into the game, and the players learn the signals a little better, it is believed the team will make a much better showing. The lineup at present is Captain Uhrlauh and Laslett, guards; Mathers, center; and Fearing and Millie, players are out to make the team, however, and it is possible there may be a couple of changes.
FROSH FIGHT HARD
The freshman quintet is much better than usual this year. Two of the players that showed up exceptionally well in the scrimmage yesterday afternoon were Adams, left forward, and Bennett, right guard. Adams and Bennett stood out because of their fast running ability in breaking up the Varsity plays.
Adams and Shields played the forward positions for the freshmen, Harmus the coping player, and other guard positions. An exceptionally large number of first

In the second premise yesterday afternoon between Varsity and freshmen teams, the regulars won 12 to 4. Both teams were composed of new players. Lonborg and Knoles played at the forward positions for the Varsity, Fink at center, and Rice and Bart尔德 at guards.

Senior Women Are Already Practicing Twice a Week During Noon Hour

Women's interclass basketball clashes will start immediately after the Christmas holidays according to Miss Hazel Pratt, coach. Daily practices are being held now by the women in gymnastics classes. The seniors have been practicing twice a week during the noon hour.
Basketball is the major sport for women here, and Coach Pratt said she expected a hundred or more candidates to come out for the class teams. Since the game is played with one line through the center instead of two, it furnishes an excellent opportunity for physical development.
The senior team is picked as a favorite to win the class championship at present. The members of the team having played together since freshmen. The team consists of Dorothy Querfeld, Dorothy Cole, Nell Liebengood, Dorothy Tucker, Joyce Brown, and Fredia Daum.
The sophomores also have a strong team this year and are likely contestants for the championship honors. The women who compose the senior team won the championship last year when they were juniors, and the women of the sophomore team won second place for the freshmen last season. Both teams are fast on the floor and have good teamwork.

Big Christmas Drive On Red Cross Members Ends New Year's Day
"A Flag In Every Home," Is Slogan of War Workers
"There has never been an organization in the history of the human race like the Red Cross," said Bishop James Wise, of the Episcopal Church, at the meeting of the Citizens' Committee Wednesday night. "Behind it stands the symbol that holds meaning through the years; is the emblem of Italy today is fighting again, because of the Red Cross."
A duplicate of this thermometer will be placed some place on the hill—probably by bulletin board, and student urged to help boost it to the top.
"By the middle of next week any one who does not wear a Red Cross button will be a rare one," said Professor J. N. Van der Vries chairman of the county organization, this morning.
By Christmas Eve every one in Douglas county will be enlisted. If not in the National army, he will be sent to of the national Red Cross Association.
That Christmas trees will be replaced by Red Cross service flags in every home in the country, is the hope of the committee in charge of the local drive. Those who have the spirit but not the dollar will be given memberships by public spirited citizens.
Christmas carols sung in all parts of the city will be the closing feature of the Red Cross campaign on Christmas Eve.
Dr. Dinsmore Allen, who was elected to teach in the department of physics but who resigned to attend the Fort Winfield Scott training camp and received a commission as second lieutenant in the coast artillery will visit at the University this week. While here he will address the students of the department of physics on the theory of gravity.

Our Christmas And Theirs
We are thinking today, tomorrow, and for many days, of Christmas. We are anticipating the joy that only the Yuletide can bring. To us vacation will mean much—warm firesides, mother's cooking, pleasant associations, relaxation, enjoyment. We will both give and receive. We will be happy.
But we must not forget, with all our happiness, that there are others who cannot doze by the paternal fire, nor revel in the glad festivities of a Christmas at home. There are those to whom Christmas will be devoid of mother, of home, of warm heartts, of relaxation. Instead there will be cold, dreary days; army stoves; and drill, regular and monotonous. That will be the Christmas of Company M, the Christmas of our boys camped on wind-blown sands at Doniphan.
Men and women of K. U., these boys are of our family. For us and for the nation they are foregoing that which we expect to enjoy. Are they not entitled to some of Our Christmas, some of our cheer? It lies within our power to make December 25, 1917, one day these men will never forget.
Lawrence is sending a Christmas car, and in it there will be room for all the cheer that K. U. can pack in. The women of the W. S. G. A. have opened a booth in Fraser Hall, and are ready to receive the offering of K. U. any time before Sunday. Books are wanted especially and there is also a great demand for phonograph records.

Next Week Is Set As Time for Rig "Drive" For Jayhawker Prints
Rriday Still Holds As Date For Seniors—Organization Glosses Due
“Plans for the Jayhawker are going on as rapidly as possible,” said Morgan, “with as many of the more expensive features of the book toned down as possible under the terms of our contracts which were let before war was declared.”
Nearly two hundred seniors have had their pictures taken, according to Harry Morgan, editor, and all these are expected to be in before Christmas. The photographers made for those who have been unable to arrange a sitting with the photographers, allowing them to turn in their prints later, since the photographers have been swamped with work for the month and could not arrange for ill.
One week from today, Friday before Christmas, still holds as the final date for the acceptance of senior pictures for the Jayhawk, according to the annual men. Office hours are kept in the office, with the daily Kansan office, from 10 to 11 o'clock in the morning and from 12 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Organization prints also are being accepted at the annual office and as many of these as can be turned in are wanted, as it is essential to the progress of the book that a large amount of this material be sent to the engraver's before and during the Christmas holidays.

War- Saving Stamps On Sale In Office of Registrar Foster
Investments Yields Profits
Certificate Holders May Cash In
Any Time After
January 2
Baby bonds, or war-saving stamps, now on sale at the Registrar's office, enable every student of the University to make a profitable investment and aid his country in winning the war. These war-saving stamps are issued in two denominations, twenty-five cents and $5.00
A thrift card is given all purchasers of 25 cent stamps. This card has places for sixteen stamps. When all the spaces are filled, the thrift card may be exchanged for a $5 stamp by adding twelve cents in cash prior to February 1, 1918, and one cent additional each month threater.
A $5.00 stamp may be bought outright. These are on sale for $4.12, but they automatically increase in value at least once after January 31, 1918 until January 1, 1823, when the United States will pay $5.00 at any post office or at the treasury in Washington, for each stamp affixed to a war-savings certificate.
When a $5.00 stamp is purchase$ it is attached to an engraved folder called a war-savings certificate. This certificate contains twenty spaces. If you want the stamps, between December 3, 1917 and January 31, 1918, the cost to the purchaser will be $82.40 and on January 1, 1923, the Government will pay the owner of the certificate $100.00. This is a net profit to the holder of the certificate by the rate of 4 per cent compounded quarterly from January 2, 1918.
The thrift stamps do not bear in interest until they have been exchanged for a war-savings certificate. They simply provide a convenient means by which one can save a small amount until one can buy a war-savings stamp which does bear interest. The price of the war-savings stamp for each cent is reduced each cent each month thereafter, as the certificates are increasing in value.
If the holder of a war-savings certificate finds it necessary to realize cash on it before maturity, he may at any time after January 2, 1918, upon giving ten days notice to any person who requests each stamp affixed, the amount paid for each month after the month of purchase of each stamp.

Kansas City District Ranks High In Number Accepted for Aviation
Army Men Tell Of Work and Requirements In Fraser Yesterday
"The percentage of acceptance of applications for aviation at the Kansas City Board is higher than for any other board in the United States," said Captain Harris C. Allen, head of the Kansas City Aviation Recruitment Station in his talk in Fraser Chapel yesterday afternoon. "We have received about 10,000 applicants since November 12. Most of those accepted are students or graduates of the universities of Kansas and Missouri."
The applicant must first fill out an application blank, giving his age, place of birth, his parents and previous occupations, state the activity he is going to do (e.g., sort). The application blank is to be accompanied by three letters of recommendation. Besides this he must pass a physical examination. Lieut. J. S. Blakesley, head of the physical examinatings of the Kansas State University, providesifications necessary for admission to the Ground School.
"People have the idea," he said, "that to be an aviator one must be a superhuman creature. This is absolutely wrong. The applicant must be physicals perfect, to be sure, but not abnormal."
Besides the physical qualifications
there are others. Unless a man has had a good education, he won't make a good aviator. From 25 to 35 per cent of the men fail in the ground school on account of insufficient educational preparation.
It is believed by most people that the aviation branch of the service is the most dangerous but statistics show that 70 percent top in mortality list, Infantry, Cavalry, Hospital Corp, and Engineering are all more dangerous than Aviation. No student is allowed to go up alone if he can control a plane skillfully."
"No other branch of the service offers such wonderful opportunities as aviation," said Captain Allen. "Aviation is no longer in the experimental stage. It is highly developed. We have to provide him with his own individuality. As long as he gets profitable results he is a king in his own kingdom."
Plain Tales From The Hill
This is Suesne
"Mr. Knutt," said a prof from Duquesne.
Your work surely gives me a puesne.
By the Holy St. Mick! Your skull is so thick
That there's no room left for your brusne."
Captain Allen in his talk on aviation said; we require that the men in the aviation section of the army must be on a higher plane.
'Twas the Week Before Christmas
Same officer made the remark that several women had applied for the aviation service. A Miss Hawk from Kansas City and Miss Star from Los Angeles have made applications, and there is a woman acting as a stenographer in the ground school whose name is Miss Low.

Fine Art Entertainment Saturday Is Dark Secret
The nature of the entertainment to be given the engineering architects by the School of Fine Arts Saturday night is a dark secret not to be disguised. No hint of decorations, manner of receiving the guests, or entertainment awaiting them will be given out by the managers.

This is the first time the architects at K. U. have been invited to a party given by the School of Fine Arts.

Students Should Keep In Touch With Kansas Says Doctor Stron
Christmas Vacation Is Best Tim For K. U. Students To Aid School and State
County Clubs Need Boosten
Study of War Causes and Bring ing of Younger Students to University, Important
Chancellor Frank Strong mac plain this morning his great interest in the K. U. County Club Union, and which has his high estimate of it importance.
"I have been much interested," he said, "in finding out whether the University is to go on with the County Club work, and am please to find it is to be continued as in predecessor work. It is also of great importance that the University kee in touch with people of the state and the best way to do this is directl through the students. If they carr a message of some kind when the return home for the holidays, the students will be interested in K. U. as well as helping the nation and state in numerous other ways.
TALK FOOD CONSERVATION
"The communities of the entire state will be open week after next to receive the impressions brought back by those attending the University and I would urge all students to do so. If you have students involved in making plain whatever they have come to understand of the problems of the day. There are three outstanding subjects which the home coming students should bear heavily upon," he continued.
"The first and perhaps most important of these," explained Doctor Strong, "is 'keeping up the interest in and the support of the food conservation industry' and 'viversity have had the privilege of obtaining much first-hand information in regard to these movements, and have been led to appreciate their importance in ways perhaps not shared with the people throughout the state."
MOLD PUBLIC OPINION
"The second important topic to which I hope much reference will be made is the study of the causes of the war and what the United States must seek for at its conclusion. It is here that the University men and women will be able to play an important part in the war. But if you may perhaps assist in making clear numerous points not thoroughly understood."
"The final message to be disseminated at home is the urgent importance of sending students below the draft age to the University in order to fill the places left vacant by those men called in the selective draft. They are more important of the school's strength, and it will be only by the enrollment of many students below the age of 21 that the University's and state's standard of scholarship will be kept up. I trust this will be kept constant in mine when the students meet their high school friends and others who are unimpaired to outstaying this point cannot be too high emphaSED."
Y. M.-Y. W. Party for All K. U. Will Be A Get-Acquainted Fest
Everybody Is Invited To Meet Everybody Else Tomorrow Night In Gym
The student's name, home, Lawrence adress and his phone number in Lawrence will be written on a card and then pinned on him at the first university party tomorrow night in Robinson Gymnasium at 8 o'clock.
And that is only the first plan the managers of the party have in getting the students of the University better acquainted.
It is as Hugo Wedell, secretary of the University Y. M. C. A. said: "If any woman of the University has wanted to meet a certain man and she has had no chance, this opposes her night. All she will have to do is to walk up and tell him she wants to know him and—then she will."
Refreshments will be served. The price is ten cents. Dates or nondates will be welcome. There will be entertainment throughout the evening. Several stunts are on the program. The party closes at 10 o'clock. This is one of the two Y. M.-Y. W. C. A. parties to be given this year, and for this reason the managers are striving to make it a big success.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the new edition; to hold certain university holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be good; to teach students to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the University.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1917
EDUCATION VS. BRAWN
Voluntary enlistment for students of draft age will soon be closed. To those who have not enlisted comes this word of advice from the leaders of constructive thought who have viewed the national necessities in their broader aspects; college men should hesitate to enlist as privates in branches of the national service, in which their training as compared to mere muscular power, is of little value. College men have been educated at the expense of the states as future resources. The men thus educated are wasting a part of this money and a part of the future wealth of the states if they undertake work that requires less effort than that which they are trained to do.
There are many forces at work in this country, moreover, that aim to deter the progress of the country. The men who compose such forces, however, will not be found in the army except when compelled to be there by the draft, but they will be decidedly evident after the war. Many trained minds will be necessary to curb these vitiating influences in check during the period of reconstruction. That is self-evident.
University men are not cowards, as has been shown by the number of enlistments. Neither are they seekink to avoid the draft. But they should learn England's lesson, and be patient. Positions requiring all varieties of skill and intelligence will be plentiful, and the college man will not be overlooked in filling them.
NEMESIS WALKS AGAIN
There seems to be a tendency on the part of students who take responsible positions in student activities to sacrifice their studies in order to do their best by the organizations that depend upon their services. Often these leaders of school affairs are adverse to taking time from their school work, but the organizations with which they are connected demand their time and energy. They are told that no one else can fill their place.
One result invariably follows. The Eligibility Committee sweops down, just as the work of the organization reaches a delicate stage, and demands the resignation of several important officers who are not doing satisfactory class work. Inexperienced men must fill their positions, and in the shake-up improper feelings between the University authorities and the students are likely to result.
As long as the University eligibility rules remain as they are, there is only one answer to this situation. Students must do satisfactory class work.
Everyone will profit in the long run if organizations would not ask more than a reasonable amount of time and work from any member. The side issues are important, but they should
not obcure the real purposes of the University.
THE LITTLE THINGS AGAIN
The University Hospital is having a grand time trying to keep a supply of medicine bottles on hand. Bottles, it seems are very hard to get and are expensive as well. The authorities now urge that students return the bottles to the hospital and thus reduce the constantly rising expense account. Take back your bottle! It's the little things that count.
PIGS AND DOGS
It is not so bad to be idle if there are animals to watch. I like to watch pigs in the same way that I like to look at caricatures which are brutally grotesque. Pigs are not fools, either. They are too greedy and fishish to be fools. Moreover, they are always a little bit suspicious, and they care about their sly little eyes, and exchange monosyllable comments with each other, like so many bloated old men in a club window.
Dogs interest me in a different way. By nature they are as amiable and trusting as pigs are sly and skeptical. They are like meek people who go through life trying to be friendly to everyone, yet being continually ill used. Their hearts are full of kindness, and they begin life by running up to every one, following every one unanticipated. As the dog grows older they discover that many people are cruel and if they had any philosophy they would learn that it is to the meek that people are cruelest because it is safe to be cruel to the meek. But instead of learning something definite about humanity, dogs—I speak of stray dogs—become more and more baffled by life as it goes on. They make neither head nor tail of it. They never learn to judge charisma or the affair of kidnapping and sometimes less afraid of those who are unkind; if you speak to them they cringe and slink disgracefully. But the disgrace is not theirs; it is the disgrace of man, who has missed them.
That is the depressing side of dogs; but they have another side which is amusing: A little group of dogs meeting, making first estimates of one another, becoming acquainted, growing enthusiastic over the acquaintance, discussing dog news, breaking into a sudden extravagant pantomime play, playing in the amusement馆, holding a grave conference, forming a committee of inspection to investigate the neighborhood, trotting with inane solemnity from one place to another, now across the road, now back again, now around the corner, up the alley, back again, into a vacant lot, back to the sidewalk, on for a little distance, then across the road with friends, with the air of being easily engaged with definite affairs, affairs of great importance—a group of dogs engaged in business of this kind is to me an endless source of delight.
ON OTHER "HILLS"
University Women at Michigan will dress dolls for the poor children of Ann Marohr. They are working under character designer of committee of the University, Y, W, C. A.
The Columbia Spectator of Columbia University has organized the Spectator Viantlates, who will unearth all that subservient to their college paper.
A Married Students' Club has been formed at the University of Indiana which, they say, is conducted "without any supervision" or did mails or other unmarried students."
Fifteen members of the Nebraska University club in Honolulu, Hawaii, held an "N" banquet recently. All the students from school last May to enter the service.
"Letters of cheer" will be substituted by the women of Texas *U.* for Christmas gifts. "More thought of where money is going during the war times," is said to be the incentive back of the "Letter Christmas."
Without Directories— No Address for Her
If the poor stude wants to get "her" home address for use this Christmas, he will have to either come straight out and ask her or use some Sherlock Holmes method in finding someone from her home town who knows, for no student directories will be published this year, the state rater says.
As a result of the state printer's heartless edict the registrar's force is working much harder than ever, because students call up continually asking for addresses that they found last year in the little book that they paid ten cents for at the beginning of the semester, a student council has trying to get one out, but as this would cost twenty-five cents a copy the idea has been abandoned, and addresses will continue to be a source of mystery.
POET'S CORNER
Only a dad with a tired face,
coming home from the daily race.
Bringing little of gold or fame
To show how well he has played
Only a dad with a brood of four,
'one of ten million men or more'
Plodding along in the daily strife,
Gearing the whips and the scorns of
With never a whimper of pain or hate,
For the sake of those who at home
know
game;
but glad in his heart that his own rejoice
To see him come and to hear his voice.
ONLY A DAD
Only a dad, mother rich nor proud,
their children surging crowd, trio,
training, arriving at the stage.
Pacing whatever may come his way;
standing still, quietly and firmly.
And bearing it all for the love of them.
Only a dad, but he gives his all.
To smooth. the way for his children
being with courage store and grim
history, this is the line that for him I once
saw in the window.
JAYHAWK-TALK
OF

AND
OTHERS.
—By Edgar Guest.
A studyless day brings many worry more days.
Some professors call on you when they think you can answer; others when they know you cannot.
The survival of the fittest is a heartless law, but it seems to work when Fourteenth street is covered with ice.
The biggest slacker is the man who doesn't live up to his own ideals.
Revise the old.adage. Do not mind your own business to the extent that you do not know what is going on in the world.
The University is a great thoughtful place to study. It offers a wealth of knowledge while you are here.
Anything that has for a price tag, "hard and consistent work," is usually worth while.

Total Eclipse of Moon
Morning of December 28
The moon will be in total eclipse from about 2 o'clock in the morning of December 28 to about 5:30 o'clock. The middle will be reached at 3:45 o'clock. The total eclipse, however, will last only sixteen minutes.
"This will be the seven eclipse this year," said Prof. E. B. Stouffer of the mathematics department. "There can be only seven eclipses in a year and 1917 will have seen three of the seven." The eclipse is remarkable in the fact that it lasts only sixteen minutes, which is an exceedingly short duration."

Initial Rehearsal Of Dramatic Club Cast Shows Much Enthusian
Competition for Parts Makes Opening Practice Unusually Lively
Proceeds To a War Benefit
Work Has Already Started On Stage Properties—To Paint Special Scenes
The first rehearsal for the Dramatic Club play last night turned out to be a surprise for those in charge of the production. So close has been the competition for the various parts in the cast that the entire list of successful candidates came to the rehearsal with their part. They gave new record for the interest taken in an initial practice for a big production.
The first act has been whipped into shape and Prof. Arthur MacMurray, director of the play, said this morning there would be no doubt but what the play would be in excellent shape by 13, the date set for its appearance.
The management of the play has announced that the proceeds of the big war drama will go to the benefit of some worthy war cause.
"In making this announcement it must be understood that we are making no appeal in the nature of a benefit," said Lewis Hull, manager of label to label almost any piece of work a benefit and the results will be gratifying. This play is being given on its merit as a play and we are merely giving the proceeds to some charitable inspection to further the ends of the war."
Work has already been started on the making of the stage properties which are complicated. Bids for the painting of the scenery are being considered. The management of the play is working in conjunction with the Registrar in the handling of all financial matters.
The next rehearsal of the cast is scheduled for Saturday morning and Wednesday to have the play well mapped out by the beginning of Christmas vacation.

Medies Have No Definite Orders At Kansas City
Enlistments In Medical Reserve Corps Have Not Been Completed
Practically the entire sophomore medic class went to Kansas City yesterday to enlist in the Medical Reserve Corp after the receipt of the telegram from W. C. Gorgas, surgeon-general of the army. This telegram, sent to Dr. John Sundwall, head of the School of Medicine, will be awarded a fourth year students not yet enlisted, ro to the nearest recruiting station immediately to enlist in the Medical Reserve Corps.
At the recruiting station in Kansas City no definite information regarding the matter had been received, and a staff member informed them to see if further information would come to the office. There are about thirty-five men in the sophomore medic class and all but five are of the junior class, and senior classes are at Rosedale.
Each man enlisting must sign an affidavit to the effect that he will promptly respond for service, either by writing a letter or by order from the Surgeon-General, Dr. John Sundwalt says only men who are doing required work and making passing grades are given the affidavit to the effect that they collist in the Medical Reserve Corps.
Enlisting In Aviation
Aviation apparently is one of the most desirable branches of the service. The University of Kansas is furnishing its share of students to this branch. Among those who have passed the examinations for aviation, are the nities: from the Sig Alph are Miles Gates, Louis Puckett, Hobart Holt and Gear Stoddard; from Sigma Chi, William Lasson; from Phi Psi, John Fogarty, Roy Farrell and Cargill Sproul; from Pi Kappa Alpha, Abner Wilson; from Phi Kappa, Walter Hayward; from Phi Kappa, Marion Tuck; F. M. Zeigler; from Delta Tau, Dick Gelvin, Bart Park, Franklin Boone and Paul Rutherford; from Beta, Marion Arnold; from Phi Delti, Maurice Benedict; from Acomas, Charles Dietrich
County Club Work Is Slow
"County Club work is progressing slowly," says Willard Glaso, president of the County Club Union. Several of the counties have not organized and as it is almost time for vacation, the students should get together and try to co-operate for their vacation work.
Keen Up Work—Chancellor
All seniors and other students who are enlisting or will be drafted into military service are urged by Chancellor Strong to keep up in good standing in their work if they expect to get excused from completing their work by the military excuse upon being called into active service.
Wilson County Club met Thursday night and elected the following officers: Ruth Gardiner, president; Harley Holden, vice president; and Margaret Young, secretary-treasurer. The club intends to put on a Hooverized banquet in honor of the high school seniors of the county, December 28.

No Substitutes For Hikes;
Change Hard to Handle
Women Walkers Can Not Take Ice Skating In Place Of Walking
I ice skating can not be substituted for cross country hiking by those wish to do so is the statement of Miss Hazel Pratt, conductor of women in skiing. For her reason, the fact that any such change is too enormous to handle.
"It would simply be impossible to have all the women to come to the Gymnasium, get permits, go to Potter Lake and skate for an hour and report on it. I would report the second time," says Mrs. Borchley Cole, assistant instructor.
In a few special cases such arrangements are being made. Reasons which make such a charge out of the question are: Potter Lake is entirely flat and not covered by skaters, other places for skating are too far away from the University, and the plan would mean an entirely new arrangement if it were adopted. Skating instead of regular classes would give more detrimental than advantageous.
Waggener Goes to Washington, D. C.
Jack H. Waggener, e18, of Topeka,

Jayhawker Schedule Of Basketball Games Opens With Funston
Potsy Clark Is Coaching Soldier Five—K. U. Working Hard
To Win
The first game on the Jayhawker basketball schedule will be played with the Camp Funston five in Robinson Gymnasium, it was announced today by Coach W. O. Hamilton. The soldier team includes a number of classy basketters from colleges in the Missouri Valley and in the East, and the basketball is using all the over able time in preparing his man for this clash.
Potsy Clark, assistant coach of football and basketball at K. U. last year, is helping coach the Funston team. The Jayhawkers are working their hardest to show Potty's quirky how he gets around. He has already won a 25-17 victory over the fast St. Mary's college five.
The Varsity went through a hard signal drill yesterday and showed better form in getting the signals than at any time this week. Passing was more accurate and faster than before with special shooting of the men is improving.
The first regulars, without the services of Miller and Fearing, first string forwards, played the freshmen to a standstill and won by a score of 15-2. The freshmen were weakened in men attended the lecture at Fraser Hall. Captain Uhrlaub was shifted to forward for the Varsity and played a stellar game, scoring four baskets from the field and getting one free throw. John Bunn, a football man, played opposite Dutch and Mathieu in matches in the Mathews, leading candidate for center, made the other two goals.
Davis and Stephenson showed a world of fight at the guard positions and held the fresh to one goal;冈心, who played forward by Barter, who played forward.
Another Varsity five scrimmaged a team made up of freshmen and Varsity candidates. This contest was slow and marred by frequent fouling. The fast floor work of Frank Mandeville was the only feature. Mandy played guard and led in the scoring with two counters from the field, and he jumped onumper on last year's track team, playing opposite Mandeville and Fink jumped at center. Keeler and Barteldes were the forwards. The Varsity score was 10 points, while the scrubs failed to connect with a single basket.

The opening interclass football games will be played in McCook Field Saturday afternoon. The first game will be called at 3 o'clock and the second at 4 o'clock. The weather moderates there probably will be only a practice game.
It is now almost a certainty that the freshman-junior contest will be the only game played Saturday and that the sophomore game will also be the last week, when it will meet the winners of Saturday's battle for the class championship. Coach Swede Nielsen of the seniors said this morning that none of his men would participate for practice; there would be no on the field Saturday.

Senate Ruling Is Said To Work Big Hardships On Students Enlisting
University Seniors and Others Called to Colors Have to Wait Here
Students Are Still In Doubt
Those Considered Seniors Are the Students Who Would Graduate In June
Some seniors and other students, who have enlisted recently in military service are already expiencing anxiety because of one of the restrictions made by the University Senate Committee last week in its suggestions to the faculties of the University regarding granting degrees to seniors enlisting and credit to those students who enlisted.
The committee has neglected to arrange it in some way so that the regulation will not work a hardship on anyone. Christmas vacation will help many of the men but there will be some inJAurni awaiting their call.
As a result of recommendations, which have been adopted by most of the faculties, the "military excuse" given to students enlisting is granted only when the student is accepted into government ten days after leaving school.
In this way those students who enlisted last week and were not called into active service immediately, have returned to school to await their notice to report. It may be tomorrow, next week, or a month from now but the teacher must be in school ten days before they are accepted for service.
Will Be In Fraser Chapel—Annual Program Shows Variety This Year
Students of Fine Arts Give Concert Tuesday
Because of the many inquiries as to who are considered as seniors by the faculties in granting degrees to those seniors who enlist the committee has decided that they are to be undergraduate students to receive their degrees in June. This excludes those who will complete their work in the next summer session.

Why Are You In College?
Ask Mrs. William Cramer
women As Well As Men Should Be Prepared To Do Something
"Why did you come to college?" asked Mrs. William Cramer in her talk at the joint meeting of the Waco Teachers' Association. Alzheimers Institute, Friday afternoon.
"Did you come because your friends did or because your parents sent you? How are you going to justify your existence in this world and repay the debt you owe for being allowed to come to college?"
"Fifteen married women whose husbands have gone to war came to my office last week. They are all college women and every one not prepared to do a thing to earn a living. They want to work and yet when I asked them what they took in college they said, "Oh. nothing in particular."
Some of the positions open to women are—educational directors, telephone supervisors, wireless operators, tea-room managers, society editors or editor of a woman's page, bankers, advertisers, interior decorators, food demonstrators, bond and insurance sellers and just now especially, the government is calling for women trained in bacteriology, chemistry, physics, and as stenographers.

Dates are not necessary at the Junior Jump to be held in Robinson Gymnasium tomorrow night from 6 to 9am and the aidt of the committee in charge.
The Jump is to be an exclusive affair, only juniors being allowed to come. However, the committee is made up of faculty members who instruct juniors.
Names are always hard to remember and for this reason the committee has arranged a name plate to be worn by every junior present. This will aid in students becoming better acquainted. The party is primarily for the purposes of getting acquainted with the music, and will furnish the music. Tags appeared on the hill this noon sold by members of the class.
"We are looking for every junior," said Herschel Washington today. "We can handle all of them and it is their job." He added, C. E. Easterly will chomp the jump.

Soph Medics Enlist In Base Hospital Corps And May Go to France
Unable to Enter Enlisted Reserve Several K. U. Medics Hope For Transfer
Unless several sophomore medics who enlisted in the Base Hospital Corps can be transferred to the Enlisted Reserve Corps they may be called from school at any time and will probably be sent to France. This applies to those who enlisted in Kansas City Friday.
Sophomore medics, liable to the second draft, went to Kansas City Friday, upon the advice received from W. C. Gorgas, Surgeon-General. At the central office where they were supposed to enlist in the Enlisted Reserve Corps the Enlistment officers said no orders had been received authorizing them to enlist medic students. Several of the students then went to the base hospital station and was told to enlist in the Reserve Corps there. The base hospital station had no orders to enlist students in the Reserve Corps although they could take men in the Base Hospital Corps.
Some of the medics signed enlistment papers at the hospital station and according to medical students today are in the Base Hospital Corps or not
Kansan's Editor Enlists In Signal Corps of Navy
Information from the School of Medicine was not definite this morning, but a few students in the Medical Corps were enlisted in the Base Hospital Corps being transferred to the Enlisted Reserve Corps, which probably will allow them to finish their school work.

Ten Best Men Will Continue To Play With Varsity In Afternoon
Beginning tonight the freshmen will practice basket ball at 7 o'clock instead of at 4 o'clock, excepting the first squad which will continue to work out with the Varsity. The change was necessitated by the fact that such a large number of first year men are out for the team now.
About ten of the best players will practice at 4 o'clock. This squad has not been permanently selected yet and will change from time to time according to Coach Bond. The new arrangement will give chance to show his ability in basketball
The men now on the first squad are: Bennett, guard and captain of the freshmen who has been playing a fast and consistent game; Barter, a guard, who played all last year as forward on the freshman team, and who has been playing in the last few days; Murphy, a tall center who plays a scrappy game.
Adamson is an excellent dribler and best of the freshmen goal shooters while Harms, a center and forward has done excels in work in both casual positions, as a guard grand, Keckly is a forward, and Shields is another forward.
Plain Tales From The Hill
A young freshman who hailed from Durham.
Once on his way home saw a spruce.
Though he almost fell dead,
He turned tail and fall,
And the night hawks o'er head
Heard these words that he said:
"I guess I'll run through it."
rearer <u>obst</u>s that he be shat!
"I guess I'll run though I think it's a "funny" </u>
"That Prof is certainly religious," said a freshman to his friend.
"Why, you know it says in the Bible that you must take a stranger in, and, believe me, that Prof sure did take me in."
The students in section C of Professor Hill's oral interpretation class have a grouch. It all happened this way: Early in the term Prof. Arthur MacMurray was absent from his class so Professor Hill took the class. It turned to give their poems and as it turn to give their poems and as it was their first appearance, stage fright was common. When it came to the criticism one Horrid Girl critically long and lived and there section I had loved to leave themselves on the first opportunity.
Imagine their delight on Tuesday morning they were again invited to Professor MacMurray's room and found that the H. G. was to speak. During her speaking all of section C were busily writing down stinging remarks to be hurled at their tormentor. The students extreme disgust the whistle blew before they had time to criticize her. Cruel fate!
Cutting of Rehearsals Carries Heavy Penalty
Because of the large membership of the Women's Glee Club, it has been necessary to make the rule that more than three unexcused absences will cause a member to be dropped from the rolls.
If the girls who have been absent wish to remain in the club and have a logical excuse for one or more of their absences they must see one of the advisory committee on or before Saturday, in the club, Tuesday night, December 18.
The advisory committee consists of Marie Buchanan, Leah Stewart Opal Holmes, Clara Scheurer, and Gladys Nelson.
Three Men Enlist In Navy

Red Cross Will Show World That America Is United For War
Drive Not For Money, But To Enroll Nation In Red Cross Work
Students Are Urged To Join
Douglas County Must Raise
Quota of 5,000 Members By
Christmas Eve
"The Christmas drive of the Red Cross is not for money particularly, but for the purpose of showing the Allies and our boys we are a united nation in this war," said J. N. Van Dyke, a spokesman of the drive in Douglas county.
"Last summer in the Red Cross drive for money, Douglas county and the University of Kansas suffered unpleasant notority, which was undeserved but which, nevertheless, did the University harm. In the present drive we are very anxious that Douglass county, the home of the University of Kansas and Baker University, shall be the state university enrolled. It is the role of the committee that they may be able to telegraph to the metropolitan press by the middle of the week the quota of 5,000 has been passed.
"Every person who does not belong to our armed forces will be asked to join before Christmas eve. In all parts of the country careful account is being kept of persons who refuse to join, for this is a time when slackers and German sympathizers will be shown up.
"Students are urged to join at once before going home, as every member here will help out the good name and reputation of the University. For students, it is up to Lawrence and Douglas county reflects on the University of Kansas."
Women To Sell Tags For Football Smoker At F.A.U., Thursday
Awarding of Letters, Speeches,
Boxing, Wrestling and Farce
Will Feature Program
A new method of selling tags for the annual football smoker which will be held next Thursday evening in the Fraternal Aid Union hall is to be tried by Willard Hilton, who with Harold Hoover, is managing the World Smoker Charity charge of the tags which are scheduled to be sold Tuesday morning.
The small number on the smoker committee made it necessary to appoint other students to help out with the sales and Manager Hilton believes the women will be able to sell more tags than men. He expects at least four hundred and possibly five hundred men to attend.
Those who will speak include the following: Chancellor Strong, Manager Hamilton, Coach Jay Bond, Captain-elect Howard, (Scrubby) Laslett, and Captain Nielsen of this year's team.
Uncle Jimmy Green will, as in former years, award the letters to those who made the team. Boxing and wrestling matches of local talent are being planned by Hilton. He is also trying to arrange for a short farce.
The Wilson County Club will meet in Room 101. Fraser Hall at 5:30 ock Tuesday. Business of importance will be taken up at this meeting.
Every day brings requests to the office of the Appointment Bureau for high school teachers. The need has become so great that it is necessary to make a special appeal to all teachers who are now in attendance at the University or students who will complete their work at the close of the first semester and be available for high school work. While the pressing exist in almost every department, the most pressing need seems to be in mathematics, physical science, agriculture and athletics.
In view of this demand the Appointment Committee urges all students who will be available for work any time during the present year to file their credentials and applications in the office of the committee before leaving for the holiday vacation. Salaries are good and the need is great.
W. H. Johnson.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the students of Kansas to go further than merely pruning the news media in Kansas; to go further than merely pruning the news media in Kansas; to play no favorables; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be happy; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
A CHANCE FOR ALL
MONDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1917.
Every day the Kansan tells of upperclassmen who have been active in the management of University activities leaving school to take their places in the nation's training schools for war. When the next call for the national army comes, the University will probably face conditions similar to those last spring.
Who is to keep school activities going during the war? The answer must come from the freshmen and sophomores. It is a great opportunity for the first and second year men, and yet at the same time it is a great responsibility. Those who cheerfully fill the places of the upperclassmen to the limit of their ability will find themselves qualified for any larger service their country may eventually ask of them.
DOWN TO WORK.
For the moment, at least, the men of the University of Kansas are not worrying. The storm has passed. December 15 has gone, and with it, practically the last opportunity for voluntary enlistment. Those who planned to enter the service voluntarily have done so. They have it over and are not worrying.
Those who are of draft age and did not avail themselves of the proffered opportunity have resigned themselves to the inevitable with a show of good grace. Temporarily they have ceased to fret.
Those who were not of draft age, yet were thrown into the excitement created by the never-ending agitation of their older associates, are now settling down and thinking for themselves. They find little to worry them, except work.
True there is still enough unrest to keep one continually on the edge, but the big wave has passed and K. U. should once more assume something of a normal mental attitude. Studies have been neglected, and hours and hours of valuable time wasted. Professors as well as students have felt the results of the disquieted atmosphere.
Students should now set themselves to the task of making the most of the time which remains to them to finish their education. Those who have elected to remain behind to pursue further their schooling have presumably chosen work as their alternative. They should attend to it as seriously, and with as great a consistency as those who have gone to fight for the nation will be compelled to attend their duties, for, be it either work or fight, the nation expects every man to do his duty.
DO YOU READ?
It takes no long search among ones acquaintances to find a person who "has no time to read." When this confession comes from a University student, it is indeed an indictment against our methods of study.
The man who cuts an after-dinner discussion on the merits of the Missouri Valley football team in two and thus saves a few minutes to spend with Plato, or Tennyson, or even a good magazine writer will soon find his store of knowledge greatly increased.
A spare half hour spent browsing among the books in Spooner Library will yield a great amount of pleasure. One may choose books here and there, read them a dozen times, and find something new and worth while in them each time.
K. U. Botanists Puzzle
Over Queer Persimmons
Prof. C. A. Shull Plans to De velop California Seedless Variety In Kansas
Four seedless persimmons have been sent from California to the department of botany of the University for examination, preliminary to an attempt to grow the fruit here.

A woman in Oroville, Cal., heard that the botany department at K. U., was trying to evolve a seedless persimmon, a rumor that was unfounded, and wrote to the department last spring, saying that she had seedless seeds from the plant. As the season was too late for successful grafting, Prof. C. A. Shull engaged specimens of the fruit to be sent here this fall. Next spring he expects to send for scions to graft on some trees of the common, seed variety. He also is going to plant persimmons seeds to get small treasures of nuts. The experts of botany will try to determine why the persimmons sent here are seedless.

Senior Pictures And Organization Prints Are Due For Annual
Jayhawker Men Will Keep Office Hours All Day This Week
With only five days left before the Christmas holidays in which to accept senior pictures and organization prints the Jayhawker men started the week's campaign this morning with the announcement of a schedule of office hours that covers practically every day. The office is in the basement of the old Medic Building, in a corner of the Kansan office.
The gloss prints of organizations which have had their pictures taken early are as much desired before the holidays as are those of seniors, according to Harry Morgan, editor, who expects to send all material collected before Friday to the engravers during the vacation.
"Everything turned in to us now," said Morgan, "means that much copy for the engraver before he is flooded with work from half a dozen other annuals in the country when it will be impossible to expect the attention and fine workmanship that may be gained by getting this stuff in early.
"No senior, whose picture has been taken should fail to turn it in before Friday. Due to the photographers being swamped with work for the last six weeks, it seems that a few seniors have been unable to get their pictures taken and it will be necessary to make arrangements for these persons to get their prints in after the holiday."
Snap shots of any sort are also wanted now and may be submitted at the Jayhawker office or to any member of the annual board. Pictures and snap shots of former UM men are especially desirable but any good views, depicting the interesting details of University life will be gladly received.

Freshman Five Defeats Varsity First Time This Season, Friday
Yearlings Show Team Work and Aided by Absence of Regulars, Win 29-21
With the Varsity basketball team considerably weakened by the absence of Laslett, Fearing, and Miller from the lineup, Coach Bond's fast freshman quintet shot through the Crimson and Blue defense Friday afternoon for its first victory of the year. The score was 29-21. The game was hotly contested from start to finish, with the two teams batting out of play that the yearlings pulled to the front with a necessary lead to win.
The same combination was used by the regulars that worked together旦each of them
and Bunn were the forwards, Mathews was at center, and Ray Davis and Stephenson played the guard positions; the freshman was strong in the first team and played an excellent brand of basketball throughout the practice. Their lineup was: Adams and Shields, Anderson in center; Barter on Bennett, guards.
Lack of team play at the critical times seems to be the principal fault of the Varsity, although on several occasions in the scrimmage the speed and judgment which has characterized the play off Jayhawker teams of past years, showed itself and the ball was worked to a position directly under the freshman in the infield. Inability to recover the ball after Matthews had got the tip-off threw the regular players off their stride time after time.
Captain Uhrlaub played his usual hard game for the Varsity and scored thirteen points. Only the close guarding of Bennett, former Iola high school star, kept Uhrlaub from evening up the score and pos-

similarly winning the game for his men. Mathews contributed four points with a couple of shots from difficult corner holes, added two counters from the field.
Every corg in the freshman machine was working smoothly but there was a tendency at trying too many long shots. Boots Adams, star frost forward, was the most confident of the five, scoring eight goals from the field. If the freshmen are able to overcome their tendency toward reckless goal shooting and inject a little more teamwork into their play, it is almost a certainty they will be in the running for Joshman championship of the Valley.

No Official Campaign For Red Cross on Hill; May Give In City Drive
Many Students Have Already Joined Organization In City Canvas
Use Tags Till Buttons Come
Supply Gave Out Early—To Have Booths In Fraser And Ad Buildings
No official campaign or drive will be started on the hill for the Red Cross owing to the promise made by Dean F. W. Blackmar at the beginning of the Student Friendship Fund, however, with personal solicitation. The city Red Cross managers are making a thorough house to house canvass for members. One hundred fifty Lawrence people have volunteered this work. Many students have al-igned and are displaying their button.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 18, 1917
The total membership for Lawrence reached above the 2,000 mark Saturday and efforts will be made to bring this total to 5,000 which is the quota set for the county. The paign is being sent under the order of Professor J. N. Van der Vries of the department of mathematics.
The supply of Red Cross buttons has already given out and as a result Red Cross tags are being used. The tags, however, can be exchanged for buttons as soon as the new supply arrives.
"I have written a very urgent letter to Kansas City and have also telephoned them to the effect that it is very important that the supply for students should be on the hill to the hill to the Registrar's office where they will be exchanged for the tags," said Professor Van der Vries this morning. "The buttons are not a temporary affair but are throughout the war. For this reason they will continue to be manufactured."
The local Red Cross has asked for permission to place booths in Fraser and the Administration building and this has been granted. On hearing of this, the Pi Beta Phi sorority asked for the privilege of conducting the one in Fraser, and the Kappa Alpha Theta asked to take care of those in Administration. Students will not be solicited any more than on election day, but they can join at either booth or at the registrar's office.
Medics Try It Again;

No classes were held in the School of Medicine today and all were ordered to use this day to enlist. Regular classes will be held again tomorrow.
The men had to have recommendations from the dean of the School of Medicine and signed by a notary public, stating that the students are in good standing and carrying full work. The students also had to sign an affidavit that they would respond to the call of the army either before or immediately after the completion of their medical course.
Library Will Be Open
For Study Next Week

During the Thanksgiving recess the library was open only a few hours and many students who remained here to study were disappointed. One student best that the students who wish to do. so should be given a chance to work next week.
Members of the engineering societies of the School of Engineering will hold a "Mixer" at Marvin Hall at 7:30 o'clock Wednesday night. The program will include numbers by representatives of each of the societies, and technical addresses by Prof. A. H. Sluss and Solomon Lefschetz.
Extension Lectures Draw 20,000 Persons In Month
"High schools and clubs over the state are eager to get the series of slides on Modern European History these days," said F. R. Hamilton of Extension Department who has charge of the distribution of these slides.
The sets most in demand are: From the Black Forest to the Black Sea; Glimpses of Germany; Storied Sicily; The Birth of Our Nation; Shakespeare's Magnificent Country; John Bell; A Trip Through Fairs; and A Norway Tour.
A new circuit will be organized in January, providing, among other subjects, a splendid lecture on Belgium. More than 20,000 persons attended the last month in Kandahar, according to a report just compiled by Mr. Hamilton.

Registered men can still enlist in any branch of the aviation service except the non-flying department.

Haley's Orchestra To Furnish Music at Prom
Ticket Sale Is Brisk For Big Class Party After The
Holidays
The contract has been let for Haley the eight-piece orchestra, including his famous saxophone and violin jazz artist, for the Junior Prom January 11.
The ticket sale for the final big social event of the year has been brisk and the Prom management predicts a good crowd. Entertainment will be allowed, refreshments will be allowed at that time.
Those who have tickets for sale are Warren Woody, Rear Hemphil, Rip Brady, George Lershay, Rowland Hill, Georges Nettels, Harry Stern, Joseph Washington, Joseph Mahan. They are also on sale at the Registrar's office.
We are especially anxious to ensure that paid their dues hand in their names so that we may attend to the matter of sending out complimentary tickets," said Ray Hempill one of the managers before the untitled to tickets must see one of the managers before the holidays.
Because of the postponement of the regular fall interclass football series until spring, an innovation will be started in University football. A call for football men from each club will about the fine of the Easter vacation.
Postponing Fall Series May Help Varsity Team
It is expected that with better weather more men will respond for practice. From the team, the coaches will get a line on players for the variability.
By Playing Interclass Games In the Spring More Men Will Respond, Says Laslett
When the call was issued for interclass football men, few men responded, and so irregularly that practice was impossible. Captain-elect, Laslett expects many more men to report for practice in the spring, with better results for both the varsity squad and the interclass games.
The monthly meeting of the American Chemical Society will be held at the University Club in Kansas City Friday. Prof. C. F. Nelson, of the School of Pharmacy, will speak on the subject of "Colloids." The Society meets every month alternating between the University and Kansas City. Many instructors of Chemistry will attend the meeting.
This is the first year interclasl football games have not been played in the fall. One reason for the change this year was early cold weather. Water pipes in the McCook Field room could not be kept from freezing.
Work On Service Flag Brought To Full Stop As Names Are Lacking
students Gave Poor Responses To Information Blanks Published-Recently
Work on the University Service flag has been temporarily halted because of the weak response to the information blanks which have been published in the Kansan and the Graduate Mag. and the names of K. U. men in the war.
The committee in charge of making the flag is unable to determine upon the exact size of the flag and it will be unable to do anything more until more names have been handed in. It has been estimated that there should be 1100 stars on the flag. Only six of the blanks printed in the Kuwan have been received so far. The alumni office has received about 350 names, and we know of a K. U. student now in any branch of military service, is urged to report his name to the alumni office or to the Registrar.
"It is a difficult job to plan a flag large enough for 11000 stars," said Miss Elizabeth Sprague of the department of home economics who has charge of making the flag. "It is probable that the committee can adopt some other plan for the flag because than the one being used."
A suggestion has been made that there be one large star in the white background and that the number of stars for those in service be represented. A suggestion is that an electric sign be used to show the number of stars.
Former Student Sends
Greetings From France
The department of home economics will probably make the flag.
Letter Received by Chancellor From Lieut. Wint Smith This Morning
Wint Smith, a member of last year's Men's Student Council and guard on the 1916 football team, who is now a first lieutenant with the American Expeditionary Forces in the New York greetings to Chancellor Strong and the University in a letter received by the Chancellor this morning.
The letter reads:
Somewhere in France,
November 19, 1917
The letter reads:
Somewhere in France.
November 19, 1911
My dear Chancellor:
May I wish you a happy Christmas and a lovely New Year.
I am doing my bit with the American Expeditionary Forces. The watchword is "Carry On" for both the people at home and the soldiers
Best regards to yourself and to the University.
Sincerely, Wint Smith.

Smith was one of the men who went, from the University to the First Officers' Training camp at Fort Riley. At the end of the camp he was chosen to go directly to France. He sailed from Hoboken September 8 and landed in France three weeks later.
has attained a school for officers where training was given in machine gun practice, grenade throwing, and bomb throwing. At the end of the training course Smith was made an instructor in bomb and grenade throwing.
Smith in letters to some of his friends at K. U. has told of many interesting experiences in his course of training. He says the Americans who were taking the course were asked to put on exhibitions for all the American English or French officers who visited their section.
War Hits Law School Hard
One-half the students in the School of Law are subject to the next draft, according to a statement made today by the Green Party. The moment in the School of Law for this semester is about one hundred. Ten men have already enlisted and fifty are in Class A of the next draft. This leaves less than fifty to carry on the work next semester.
Missouri will put a veteran team in the field and, barring accidents, should be a contender for the title from the start. Shirkey and Campbell, forward, and Slusher and Viner, guards are the letter men trying for positions of the Tiger quintet, while Craig Ruby, former captain of the Westport high school five in Kansas City, will be eligible for a place on the team.
Smith, who is six feet four inches tall and weighs 220 pounds, was a substitute pitcher on the baseball team here at the University. He was formerly a member of Company M and served with the company on the border during the summer of 1916.
r Hits Law School Hard
Hill Will Leave K. U.
To Enter Naval Reserve
Howard T. Hill, assistant professor in the department of public speaking, has enlisted in the Naval Reserve Corps and expects to leave the University about February 1. He has been in Chicago the last week arranging for entrance into this branch of service.
The Naval Reserve Corps is a school for non-commissioned officers for the navy. Training will last about six months, according to the Navy's schedule of work comprising theoretical instruction at the Municipal Pier in Chicago, and the remainder of the time being given to practice probably on some ship run. Because of this, the men in the reserve will be assigned to active naval service.
Plain Tales From The Hill
He started to cram for a quiz,
But a bore came and stuck in his phuiz
And he broke down the door
Them behind at the bore
Throwing books at the bote,
While the cat was so softly "Gee
Whui!"
We do not know what patriotism is yet. Prof. W. W. Davis says the French peasants will skin a mosquito to get the tallow and hide to sell to get money to invest in government bonds.
Summy Rice, son of Prof. S. O. Rice of the Department of Journalism, was inspecting the Kanan office yesterday afternoon and interviewing reporters.
"Are you one of my father's students," he asked one. When an instructor came our hour and half year old Samuel replied, "Well you'd have better classes."
Daddy Haworth has a system of beginning at one side of his class to call on the students to recite one day and the other side the next day. Joe Pratt, being an intelligent student, discovered this plan and altered his seat in opposite rotation to Daddy's plan. But, alas, Daddy, being an intelligent Prof., discovered Joe's plan, and another rule has an exception.
More Movie Perils
It was a mid-week night. Of course she couldn't have a date, so she and her roommate went to the movies together. The lights went out. A tall, dark man took the seat beside her. She felt like a monster, perfectly lovely Frank danced. The man's arm stole along the back of her chair. She gave a little gasp of amazement.
This was rushing things. She had always heard that the best thing to do in a case like this was to ignore it. So she turned her back and talked very fast about the weather. The man's hand clasped hers and his arm tightened about her shoulder. He leaned over him with a glance, "Thought you weren't ever going to see me," said her brother, as he released her hand.
Hoover Rules To Prevail For "Jump" Luncheon
Every Junior Is Expected To Attend Class Party Tonight
With no other parties scheduled tonight every junior from every school of the University is expected to be at gymnasium on 6 to 7:45 o'clock.
Enough to eat for everybody will be ready to be served at 6:30. It’s to be sort of a common and perhaps a slim meal, for the committee in charge, as it is strictly to the rules of Hoover. There will be hot rolls, weens and coffee
Tickets will be on sale at the door for juniors who do not get their tags today. They cost twenty-five cents, and the cost is $7.46 in time for other engagements.
Prof. S. J. Hunter Gives Lecture In Topeka
Prof. S. J. Hunter, state entomologist, will go to Topeka Wednesday to give a lecture on the spring canker worm before the Chamber of Commerce, mayor, and representatives of the Women's Federation of Clube
As city forester for Lawrence Professor Hunter supervised the campaign against the canker worm here last year. Trees were banded early and as a result the pest fish not swamped by defoliation many trees in Lawrence.
K.U Engineers of Good Standing May Complete School Before Draft
Professor Hunter says the first warm spell will start an epidemic of the canker worm and no amount of cold will destroy them. To insure freedom from the destruction caused by the worm the trees should be banded immediately. This done, frequent application of some sticky substance on the bands will insure the leaves staying on throughout the year.
The Jewell County Club will meet in 110 Fraser Hall, tonight, at 6:45 o'clock.
Certified Engineers to be Permitted to Graduate If In Reserve Corps
K. U. Is An Approved School
Line
Only Extremely Good Or Bad Grades To Form Dividing
Students in the School of Engineering may enlist in the Enlisted Reserve Corps, which will entitle them to a classification in Class 5 of the selective service, according to a letter received at the School of Engineering.
The revised selective service regulations about to be issued by the Provisor Marshal General will include in Section 151, this paragraph:
"Under such regulations as the Chief of Engineers may prescribe, a proportion of the students pursuing an engineering course at the University of the Engineering schools listed in the War Department, as named by the school faculty, may enlist in the Enlisted Reserve Corps of the Engineer Department. The register of enlisted personnel on the ground he is in the military service of the United States."
The Chief of Engineers has ruled the privilege referred to, may be granted only to students who are given a certificate properly attested by head of the institution. The head of the institution certifies the student is of good standing, regularly enrolled and a candidate for a degree in the school.
The only ones who have applied for the exemption have had either very good or very poor grades, so it was easy to decide, but the grades under which none can go and be exempted is as yet undecided. The students who gain the exemption may finish school, where they are called into active service.
"Engineers who have a good standing in the School of Engineering may enlist in the Reserve "Corps", said Robert Dye, president of the School of Engineering today, "but they have met with failure the very first thing, for the recruiting stations are closed to them now. Until they receive more instructions from Provost Marshal Shanah, they should sharp line could be drawn as to the matter of grades.
The letter continues that, since sixty days from December 15 will be required by the Provost Marshal General to classify the registrants into five classes, the committee understands it is unlikely that any draft will be made before this classification is completed.
Music Students To Give Annual Recital Tonight
Pipe Organ In Fraser Will Be Used First Time This
Year
The students in the School of Fine Arts will give their annual Christmas program in Fraser Chapel this evening at 8:15 o'clock. The program will include vocal, piano, and organ numbers. More variation will be found in this entertainment than any of the previous ones.
The students who will have prominent parts on the program are Margaret Fitch, Dorothy Riddel, Bernice White, Thelma Wharton, Rheba Protsch, Helen Porter, Alex Hopkins, Holly Bell, Helen Pendleton, Mildred Thrall, Laura Jackman and Lusie Phinney.
The pipe-organ in Fraser will be used for the first time this semester. The organ is an electric one and has been entirely re-wired this fall. Two new pedals have been put in and two new couplers, making six in all, so that the organ is now in good shape for the concert.
Local Board Will Help Fill Out Questionnaires
The Local Advisory Board, composed of Dean J. W. Green, S. D. Bishop, and M. A. Gerrill, is prepared to assist registrants who apply at their office in Green in filling out the questionnaires which are being sent to all drafted men.
The purpose of the questionnaire is a ascertain the essential facts in regard to all registered men and to classify them correctly.
Beginning December 15, 100 questionnaires were sent out each day and will continue until the 2,000 men who registered in Douglas County have met with the judge. All must be returned within seven days after it is received.

OUR SERVICE FLAG
Associated Journalism Students un furled today a service flag with forty two stars, each representing a student from the department who is in active service under the flag that represents us all, the Stars and Trines.
The Kansan misses these men. A year ago it would not have been thought possible to get the Kansan out day after day without their valuable assistance. Perhaps it is the sacrifice that such men are making that stimulates the entire University to greater efforts.
THE K. U. BAND
Fraser Chapel should be crowded Wednesday night for the concert to be given by the K. U. band. In so far as school activities go, the concert is one of the big events of the year.
The band, which consists of about forty first-class musicians, has been rhearsing many weeks. Good music is assured, and the program of classical and patriotic selections is a welcomed and needed variety in the year's course of entertainments.
WORK FOR KANSAS
But the main reason for going to leaser Chapel tomorrow night is to hear good music by a good band.
No elaboration is necessary. University men and women know the K.U. band. They know what to expect from J. C. McCanles, the director. He has taught the students well. They can now show their appreciation of this service.
Students who wish to see the University retain her best teachers, and in every other way reach the highest point of efficiency, are making plans to work for the Permanent Income Bill during the holidays. The bill will be explained at county club banquets and students will do individual work among the voters.
This is the true Kansas spirit and every student who lends a hand in this work will be doing a direct and valuable service to the University.
A constitutional amendment is the only way to insure a permanent income to the University and other state educational institutions. The legislature has given its approval to the measure and it is now ready to be submitted to a vote of the people at the next general election.
As a rule students are familiar with the merits of the bill from the University's point of view. There are, however, many advantages under the permanent income method that are of vital interest to the voter. Three of those should be emphasized in all campaign work. The first is that the proposed amendment would not increase taxes nor take any power away from the legislature. The amount of the tax would be a statutory and not a constitutional matter. In the second place the permanent income method is better because it reserves from politics the financing of
the state schools. No state school should be compelled to go into politics every two years to get an adequate appropriation. Lastly, a permanent income for the schools would give the people better schools for the same expenditure.
Fourteen states are now using this method of taxation for their educational institutions. Kansas cannot afford to be at the end of the procession.
Hilltop Philosophy
Patience is indeed a cherished trait even in a recruiting station,
And now if an eight-hour day can be arranged for soldiers all will be well.
Now comes another disease to buffle the wits of the medical science—the "kitter's cramp."
The question of uniforms still agitates the minds of the drilling public. There seems to be no objection to those who wish them buying them.
Isn't it too bad that people support our war charities only when they are begged to do so? Grand thing is patriotism until it hits the purse.
It is no more than natural that the sympathetic heart of womankind should be the first to think of the Christmas of the boys in the training camps, but just the same, our W.S.G.A. must be commended for their efforts in attempting to gather in the presents for our brothers at Donjphan.
This euphony is a great thing. It saves much deep thought and lessens the necessity of originality. Without it our social committees would indeed be put to it. "Journalism Jaze" and "Junior Jump"—beautiful. Too bad our fathers hit to call a taffy-pull or I will. If they were of euphony we might still be having "taffy-turs" or even "taffy-twists". The first two letters are satisfactory.
ON OTHER "HILLS"
The boys advertise for girls at the University of Minnesota—at least two did. They wanted to go to the junior-senior masquerade and the following advertisement appeared: "Wanted: Two junior or senior girls on Saturday night in the Home Economics building."
"The *Iloo*," the annuol of the University of Illinois is to feature a military section this year. The book is ever and contains 4,000 pictures.
The University of Cincinnati is not ashamed of its luckless football squad. The team went through the season without making a score, and the fact is played up big in the University News.
The University of Illinois Military Band is to give a concert for the benefit of its former members now in the Army. Also, he is going to purchase a service flag.
Twenty-two out of 362 students in classes of American history at Ohio State University read President Wilson's war message to Congress. A few read the headlines and a few more the summary. "These facts are eloquent in themselves," says the Daily Illini.
Now, can the University of Kanais bent the six per cent record of

What a man wants for Christmas
(Printed in the desire to serve women)
5
When a man wants to be "dead sure" of the right thing for a woman's Christmas gift, he goes to a woman's store; there he sees what women buy for themselves, and gets the expert advice of other women.
Copyright Hart Schaffner & Maru
The rule works both ways, and the resourceful woman seeks out a man's store and the advice of other men.
This is a store for men; it sells the things a man enjoys owning; the things he gets for himself. And it's a place for both men and women to buy gifts for men.
Our stock is generous and varied:
Hart Schaffner & Marx suits and overcoats, of course; shirts, hats, a new array of ties, cuff links, and scarf pins; leather wallets, belt buckles, fountain pens, sport goods, and camp utilities.
There are many others, some that you will think of at once, others you'll appreciate having called to your attention. That is where we can be of service to you; we can share the advantage of our acquaintance with men. We'll be glad to do it.

She plays football, swims, impersonates a famous dancer (this comes easy for Ann), rides on a freight train, and does a number of other stunts, and finally elopes.

Teamwork Better Than Usual-

Opens Season With Funston
Game
Camp Boys Will Come Here January 10 For First
With barely two weeks left for practice before the opening game of the season with Camp Funston, which will be played in Robinson Gymnasium January 10, the Jayhawk basketball squad went through a hard workout yesterday afternoon and the men showed much better form than was displayed Friday. Seven players and played the game aggressive game that made him one of the best guards in the Valley last year.
The first team of Jayhawkers showed a complete reversal of form over Friday's work and easily defeated the freshman quintet by a 21-4 score. Teamwork was better than usual. The Varsity lineup was as follows: Captain Uhrlaub and Bunn, forwards; Mathews, center; Laslett and Davis, guards featured the play, the KU captain scored three points and played through the entire freshman team for three goals. Mathews also played well. Bennett and Harms played good basketball for the first year men.
A second team of Varsity men kept up the good work and defeated the freshmen reserves, 20-6. The regular team was made up of Miller and Lonnie Nielsen, who were Neilson and Koleos, guards. The Kansas five took the lead from the start and the yearlings did not score until the latter part of the scrimmage.

De Orgler Arrested As Agent of Kaiser
Baron de Orgler, that peculiar said-to-be Austrian nobleman who lectured in Fraser Chapel November 1, has been heard from. Pathetically he told the Germans how he hated the Kaiser, yet he had fought with Germany against the Allies. He said Germany did not know the United States was at war and was of victory over Germany, although it would take a long time.
The baron became acquainted with the Kaiser after several diplomatic relations with him, and described him as a man with a superior attitude, yet he, Baron de Orgler was lecturing for Liberty Bonds.

University Intelligence Committee Enlightens Students About War
Lectures On Subjects Concerning War Will be Given
Bulletin Boards Give News
Special Shelf of Books on Wa Topics Started in Spooner Library
The University Intelligence Committee has done much the last month to acquaint students with different aspects of the war and will imajurate other means of war information soon, according to committee members. What the faculty and student com-mitropoets propose to do by Dean Olin Templin in his pamphlet concerning the War League of American Colleges:
"It is the purpose of this committee to use available means to enlighten students upon the nature and meaning of the Bible, so that they can bring to their attention such information as will lead them to get a right perspective, to judge events sanely, and to order their own apps appropriately," he wrote. "The committee must take, now and in the future."
As a means of fulfilling this purpose, the committee first undertook to provide lectures on patriotic, military, diplomatic, economic, historical, and political issues. The most move along this line was the lecture on English affairs. Frequent lectures are being planned for the future.
To quote again from Dean Tempel's bulletin, the Intelligence Committee was "to put up in the different rooms of the office posted news items, maps, illustrations, etc., concerning the war." These have been erected and various articles and pictures placed on them by faculty members in charge of different built ins.
A column is conducted in the Kansah, devoted to the same purposes as the row.
A special shelf of books on war topics has been started in Spooner Library, said members of the Intelligence Committee this morning, and new books will be bought for this shelf.
After vacation, the committee intends to send a circular letter to students, giving suggestions about the proper attitude toward the war. The committee is composed of eight students and five members of the faculty.
Glasco Is To Give Out Literature On Income
Students Will Inform Voters a Home on Subject During Holidays
Various county clubs of the University are to be given literature explaining the Permanent Income Amendment to take home during the holidays, hold public meetings to voters according to Willard Glass, president of the County Club Union.
At the next general election the voters of the state will be given an opportunity to vote on the Permangan Income Amendment and thus decide whether they want to adopt a more efficient method of keeping up the state schools or to retain the anti-immigration useful method now in use. The Income Amendment provides for a fixed income for the upkeep of state schools.
The difference between the old and new method is instead of having to appropriate funds at every meeting of the legislature for the upkeep of the state schools a fraction of a mill will be taken from the regular tax levy. Literature explaining the Peruvian amendment will be given out to the different classes just before the students go home for Christmas vacation.
Dramatic Club Will Give Play To Push Income Tax
A play in the interests of the permanent income bill will be presented by the Dramatic Club in co-operation with the County Club Union. This play will be one of the two biggest plays given this year.
The proceeds will be turned over to the Alumni Association to be used wholly for the benefit of the Permanent Income Bill. The play will be given either in the Gymnasium or the Bowersock Theatre.
Orville McCandles, '18 Albert E Hyer, '19 of the Law School, have enlisted in the army, going into the Ordinance department. McCandles will be a chemist and Hyer a leather inspector. Both men left for St. Louis Thursday. They are members of the Sigma Nu fraternity.

Students Will Take Civil Service Exams
Many students are planning to take the Civil Service examination given in Lawrence on January 5 for a clerk in the War Department at Washington. The government is giving young men and women to secure a good government job with the chance to continue their education. The government is paying $1,100 a month to start with a raise to $1,200 in three months if the applicant proves satisfactory.
Examinations have been simplified so that almost any one can pass them, according to Secretary William Moyls, who handles this work in Lawrence. He gives advice on letter writing, manuscript corrections, geography, civil government and arithmetic. Stress is laid upon the legibility, rapidity and neatness of the handling. A letter of 150 words must be written upon one of two subjects given

The Red Cross campaign is progressing in fine style, according to Prof. J. N. Van der Vries in charge of the work on the Hill. Reports from its state indicate that the quota of members will be doubled or trebled.
Every one considered the matter in the light of a proof of his loyalty. All people connected with the Universe should wear them tomorrow and Friday on their coats, Professor Van der Vries says, and thus tell people they have joined the great home army in front of the back men going to the
A complete membership of the University in the Red Cross organization will do much to boost Lawrence and university in the eyes of the people.
"We have a good start and want to keep it up," Professor Van der Vries said. "Simply hand a dollar to the booths or to the Registrar and get off getting a tag until you get home expecting to get a button, you will be disappointed, for the buttons are nearly gone. A most common occurrence is for families to join as units. Those who join the Red Cross also serve."
Women Law Clerks May Be Next, Uncle Jimmy
"A new field is open for women. Thousands of law clerks are leaving their work for the army.

Jayhawker Pictures Coming In Too Slowly To Suit Annual Men
All Available Material Wanted
By Editor Before Holidays
—Two Days Remain
Senior and organization pictures for the Jayhawker are not coming in with sufficient rapidity to satisfy the annual need. It was said by Don Davis, a curator at the museum, that initially was set as the final date for the acceptance of senior pictures, but due to the inability of some students to get sitings with photographers, art therapists and dance made to accept later the prints of those who were unable to get pictures taken.
"The large majority of the seniors, however, have had their prints made," said Davis, "and there is no reason whatever why these should not be given to them. The basement of the old medical building on Friday. It certainly would be a great help to us in our work on the book and unless sufficient material is gathered before the holidays to keep the engravers busy during that time, it is possible to get an actual delay of several weeks by setting the book out in the spring."
Since not all the seniors can get their pictures in before Christmas, the Jayhawker editors are especially anxious to get all organization prints that are available. A large number of clubs and fraternities have had pictures taken and the glasses of these are wanted before the vacation begins.
Russia is Called Land Of Great Opportunity
"Russia is the most potent field of natural resources in the world," says Professor Dykstra to his American Government class today. "it will be easier for Russia to make money, because Russian natural resources are almost untouched."
"Russia has 180 million people, which compared with the area that it covers, makes it sparsely populated. It is least accessible of all nations and this is what has made the field now as the ore beds have never been exposed. The crust is above the average. Russian land is the most fertile title, and there is enough cattle straying around there to make the natior rich."
Lieut. Ralph Spotts Led Cheers in Okla
Lieut. Ralph Spotts of Battery B, now in camp at Fort Stilf is improving from sickness which threatened to develop into pneumonia. Spotts is a former cheerleader. When the team played Oklahoma this year at Norwalk and his officer's hat and dignity led to the Army and soldier boys who saw the game into a strong old "Rock Chalk." In civil life Spotts was an attorney with offices in Lawrence. He was graduated from both the college and School in his senior year in college he was in the Army in Phi Beta Kappa. He was for a short time connected with the Extension Division of the University.
Home Service Work Starts
The "Home Service" of the American Red Cross, which expects to organize chapters in larger cities over the state, has made an excellent beginning during the first week of the campaign. Wellington, Herrington, Hays, Olsburg and Burns have asked the Red Cross and work will start in January. The group of the Red Cross, with headquarters in St. Louis, has asked the University Extension Division to cooperate in arranging courses for this home service.
Art Department Raises Fund
Art students of the School of Fine Arts are raising a fund with which to purchase subscriptions to art magazines to send to members of the department who have enlisted. Two members of the department are now in service. They are Harry Foster of the headquarters company of the California National Guard, and Roy W. Graham of the headquarters company. Fort Sill. The fund is being raised by twenty-five cent contributions.

Demand for French Met By Extension Department
To meet the demand for instruction in the Romance languages, the University Extension Department this year conducts classes in both French and Spanish in Kansas City and a class in French at Topeka. Other classes in these languages probably will be established in Hutchinson and other towns that have been making requests for them.
Extension classes have adjourned this week for a two or three weeks vacation. The new language courses will be organized for a semester beginning January 2. Other subjects by members of the University faculty are area commercial geography, the deficient child, elements of sociology, American government, and supervision of instruction.

Phillip Banta is a freshman, but even with his experience of his own. The other day he fell to certain ininess in his room. "No coal," his landlord said, when he demanded the reason for the coolness. Then he came back, mitigated, and the longer he sat in dark, kept study, the colder the room became.
Then he got busy and acted. He borrowed an axe from a sympathetic neighbor, and with a few deft blows he placed the tree that would have sheltered him from fire but no rays next summer was cut into stove logs to warm him in his present hour of need. "But the树 is very valuable," his landlady objected. "I am valuable to my parents." he answered. "But the trees are important. I is cut down," she insisted. "And have died if I had frozen to death," he replied. And there you have it.

War Is Causing Many To Withdraw From All Schools of University
Engineers Hardest Hit With Losses Coming Largely From Upper Classes
College Withdrawals Same
Pharmies and Medics Show Increase, Law Enrollment Has Fallen Off
The war is causing a large number of withdrawals of students in all schools of the University. According to the war conditions have caused a large decrease in the amount of some schools and have also caused an unusual number of withdrawals during the present semester. In others enrollment has been more than usual and been the cause of many more students continuing their studies than usual.
From the college, the dean's office reports about the same number of withdrawals as this time last year. Since several students have withdrawn for military service, this means that students not subject to the draft are stay-in school much better than last year. Ninety-six students have withdrawn from the College to enter military service. Others will probably withdraw soon.
ENGINEERS HIT HARD
The number of withdrawals from the School of Engineering far exceeds the number at the same time last year. It has probably been hit the hardest when the number of withdrawals have been lower, according to the dean's secretary.
The Schools of Medicine and of Pharmacy each have a larger enrollment this year, due largely to the war, and very few students are withdrawn from the School. Students have withdrawn from the School and pharmacies are staying in the University whenever possible, to continue their work.
LAWS DROP OFF
Dean Green of the School of Law reports that while enrollment of law students is greatly decreased this year, about fifty per cent of the laws draft. However it is not expected that the law will be affected by the draft and Dean Green does not believe that the war will deplete the enrollment of the School of Law much more than the other schools. The departments of the University the students are showing unusual efforts to remain in school whenever possible.
Football Smoker Tags Being Sold By Women
Tags for the football smoker which will be held Thursday evening in the Fraternal Aid Union building in honor of the football team, are being sold on the Hill by women students. The price of admission is twenty-five cents. Nearly 500 men are expected to attend and listen to Captain Nelson tell how they defeated the Missouri Tigers by the largest score in years. Captain-elect Liam Will tell of the prospects for next year. Uncle Green will award the K's to the members of the football and cross country teams. Coach Bond, Manager Hamilton and Chancellor Strong will also make short talks.
Hundreds Expected To Honor Gridiron Veterans—A Full Program Provided
Captain-elect McCall of the cross-country team will outline the history of the team this year and its prospects for next year. In addition to these two players, there will be a three-round boxing match between two local oxers. The Phi Alpha Tau, ceremonial raternity, will give a short snappy roar.
To students of the University:
As students go home for the Holidays I desire to express best wishes for a Merry Christmas New Year. I trust you will wish with your parents and friends about the importance of a permanent income for the University. I urge that you your younger join the Red Cross before you grow hope also that you will urge uncle friends greater consideration of Food Conservation, Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., and Liberty Bonds. Especially I hope that you will encourage all to help by your own increase of sincerity and intelligent loyalty to our country.
Frank Strong. Chancellor

A RED CROSS CHRISTMAS
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1917
In this the country's first Christmas in the most terrible of wars, the Red Cross is asking you to become a part of its mighty organization. It asks you to invest your enthusiasm and your good will in a Red Cross membership. Investible dividends will be returned to you by your army, your navy and your allies.
Henry van Dyk writes this "to those who feel poor":
We are a large family.
I write as your brother We are a large family.
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
world-war, made in Germany,
against which we are fighting, has sent our incomes down and our expenses up.
The pinch hurts, but it is not going to kill us.
We still have enough and something to spare.
Though we feel poor, don't let us be impoverished by selfish fear.
Let us save in food, in food — in clothes, in luxuries and joy-rides—but
Let us keep Christmas this year by keeping up the Red Cross.
Let us use that by giving it to the wounded, the suffering, our friends,
Then it will not be a poor Christmas but a rich Christmas to our hearts.
COMPANY ATTENTION!
Military drill at the University has lost its glamour with the first cold weather. The demon Cold has caused a serious depletion of the ranks. Members are rapidly substituting track and other forms of exercise for drill. It is reported that many simply do not attend and that others answer the roll and then desert.
Military drill at the University is doomed if this spirit continues. The University Senate before adopting the system considered the matter of maintaining interest in the work, the difficulty of which was predicted. But the importance of the drill seemed far to overshadow the many disagreeable features. It was decided to place the men on their honor. This was deemed all that was necessary to make military drill a success from first to last.
Something, however, has gone wrong. Are the University men false to their trust or was the Senate wrong in its valuation of military drill?
Simply to answer these questions does not remove the problem. The only thing, that will make the drill a success is for each private and each officer to do his part. By joining a company each man places himself under moral obligation to do at least this much.
Let every man in the K. U. regiment come back after Christmas with his shoulders back and his head up, determined to bring the regiment up to its former high standard.
PREPARING FOR PEACE
The announcement of four tempting fellowships for women by the Association of Collegiate Alumnae is proof enough that a serious effort is being made in America to keep education free from the contamination of war.
Research work, and higher education might lag during the struggle were is not for the well established system of fellowships. The growth of this movement in the time of war speaks high for the ideals of American universities.
The four fellowships announced by the Association will, no doubt, appeal to K. U. students. One, open to any woman holding a degree of Arts, Science or Literature offers a $500 prize for study in Europe. Another, the Alice Freeman Palmer Memorial fellowship, open to holders of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy or Doctor of Science, offer a $1,000 prize under certain conditions. A third fellowship offers a total prize of $440 for study purposes and is available to holders of a degree of Arts, Science, or Literature who intend teaching as their profession.
There are in the University between thirty-five and forty women who are eligible for one or more of these fellowships. It would be worth the time for these women to consult Mrs. Eustace Brown who can supply all needed information.
A serious effort in this direction is an opportunity if not a duty of this group of privileged Kansas women. Their work will count thrice over in the days of peace that are to come.
PLAYING AMERICA'S GAME
"The Masses," a monthly publication with a circulation of twenty-five thousand copies was declared non-mailable some time ago by the Postmaster-General. Action was taken under a recent Federal law which makes non-mailable any matter advocating disloyalty or forcible resistance to United States law.
In editorials, news matter, and cartoons, the magazine suggested disloyalty, if it did not openly work to obstruct the recruiting or enlistment service. It based its right to circulate such sedious matter on the Constitutional amendment forbidding Congress to abridge the freedom of speech or press.
In refusing the publishers the facilities of the mail, however, the Postmaster-General did not refuse them the privilege of printing what sentiments they pleased. He simply refused to be the agent in spreading vicious un-American reading matter over the country.
OUR UNIVERSITY BOYS
Our few months at war have brought many long-suffering and cynical parents to realize that American colleges are institutions with a deeper and more permanent purpose than the military. The institution of haberdashery fashions and the breeding of silk-sock socialists. Hardly a college of any description, even correspondence, but has representation in the ranks, and an impartial analysis would demonstrate that the football heroes of the schools were not just a part of the call for real battle than are the gunmen bravadoes of the big cities.
When the full, authentic story is told of the part played by college men in this war, the hackneyed sneer, so popular with imperfectly self-made students at the college education, will be about as vogue as the iron cross. — Life.
SORROW

And I will sing it on bare, bare hills, Myself, alone!

Out of a broken heart
I'll make a song!
The stormy sombre clouds Will soon to see

The customary pre-holiday parties and entertainments by students are to be vigorously deleted on account of the lack of attendance, but cut their dances and parties to a maximum of simplicity and the little Christmas gifts that fraternity and sorority members give on these occasions may be passed on immediately to charity.
THE FRESHMAN OMAR
One sorority is to give a Hooverized dinner, the menu of which will conform strictly to the spirit and letter of conventions in the school. The Hill will品 war economy Christmas dinner and the gifts will be given to the Friendship Club, which will distribute them in Lawrence. Still another sorority will observe the same spirit in their Christmas dinner, and on the Hill are to follow this plan as well as the fraternities.
"Bad" Fellows On Hill Are Fighting Huns
"K. U. men are tamer than in former years," declared J. M. Boyd, Lawrence chief of police, recently. "Several years ago the fellows were pretty lively, and, although we didn't make real arrests, we tried to scare them."
Boyd believes that the "bad" men on the Hill, the mischief makers who made a raid down town whenever they had a chance, the fellows who had the good time, have all gone to war. The police are very hard to get; the police, and he has found the students more subdued this year than ever before.
Chemistry, a Compulsory Study Twenty Years Ago
Twenty years ago every student in the University was required to take Chemistry. At that time the department occupied the building which is now used by the department of journalism, but overflow classes were also held in Snow Hall, Physics Building and in the basement of Fraser.
"The building now occupied by the department of journalism was built in 1883 for a chemistry building and was used by us until 1900 when we moved to our new Chemistry building," said Professor Valley, of the department of chemistry.
"Twenty years ago we were so crowded in that building that we had to have 150 students in a lecture room seated for 75. In the laboratory two students were required to work together on all experiments because of their lack of experience. The professors in the department at that time. I used to teach chemistry, mineralogy and pharmacy. The two other men are both in the service of the government now. Professor Franklin, now of the Leland Stanford University faculty, is a member of the chemical division. The other instructor, Edward Bartow, is now a major of a sanitary corps in France."
The department of chemistry moved into its present building in 1900. Last year they had more than twenty laboratories there, and three in 1897 and 1888. The department is furnishing men nearly every day to the government for war work.
Oread High Red Cross Unit
The women of Oread High School, under the leadership of Miss Cora Delube, of the department of English, have voluntarily organized a Red Cross club in the school. By means of a small assessment levied on each member, the women are able to buy necessary supplies, and are now engaged in making many useful articles. This is purely a local organization, and the idea was origi- nated by Mrs. Delube's output is turned over to the city branch of the Red Cross.

Write Senior Play and Get Fifty Dollar Prize
No Literary Experience Necessary to Write Prize Play —Robertson
"Considerable interest is being shown in writing for the fifty dollar prize offered by the Dramatic Club for the senior play," said Robert Robertson, manager of the play, this morning. "Several persons have spoken to me about writing the play, but there is still room for more contestants.
"No experience in writing plays is necessary. The winner of the contest the last two years had no experience before he wrote the senior plays. A good plot told in a lively manner with college setting is the only requirement. For some students, it takes for some student to make fifty dollars during the Christmas vacation."
Each year the Dramatic Club offers fifty dollars for the best play to be presented by the senior class at a down town theater. Any student in the University is eligible to compete for the prize. Anyone desiring more information should see Robert Robertson or Prof. Arthur Murray.

Women Can Meet Great Shortage of Teachers
State Board of Education Announces Many Positions Open Next Semester
Word came to the School of Education Saturday from the State Board of Education that a great shortage of teachers is bound to ensue with the operation of the next draft of men in the school. Freud there are many schools which have been unable to make up their corps of teachers to the full quota.
"Of the 500 or more men who are in charge of the schools in cities of the third class, probably half will have left the teaching profession by the end of the school year and will be at the School of Education. "This is a service which women can render if they are willing to prepare themselves for it. Many young women who had been studying at the completion of their college may be a chance now to meet this emergency."
"By adjusting their registration for the last semester a great many could earn the certificate by the end of the year. Those who cannot do that can almost without exception earn the certificate by remaining in school during the Summer Session. The nation needs women in this work to take the places of the men who are going to war."
High Explosive Material In Artificial Gas Wasted
Enough high explosive material to fill 150,000 three-inch shells a day is being wasted in the United States in burning artificial gas containing toluel, says W. A. Whitaker, head of the state industrial research laboratories at the University. In an effort to save this toluel which is lately unnecessary for the heating efficiency of the gas, Mr. Whitaker, Roy Cross of Kansas City, Md., and G. W. Stratton, a professor of chemistry at the University, are members of a committee to endeavor to induce artificial gas plant owners in Kansas and in western Missouri to install appliques that produce no gas. Similar efforts are made by chemists throughout the United States.
Toluol is the stuff from which T. N. T. is made, and of the several high explosives now in use by the Entente Allies and the Central Powers, the War Department has pronounced it a weapon of great importance, most exclusively in its artillery. It is the easiest high explosive to make and the safest to transport.
Psychology Department
Tests Aviation Students
"We are now giving special psychological tests to the members of the aviation class in the School of Engineering," said Prof. F. C. Dockeryen today. "I have received a copy of the examination questions which the government requires for entrance in the Aviation Corps, from high schools in the Surgeon-Genial office at the Ministry. The special tests we give here at the University are similar to the government tests."
The students who take the special tests here a-2 thus enabled to discover whether or not they stand any chance of passing the government examinations. These tests indicate the accuracy of the student's sense organs.
The department of psychology is also giving group tests. The group tests are a step towards fitting study or psychological work in the army.
The annual Christmas party of the Home Economics Club will be given Tuesday, December 18, in the basement of Fraser Hall. Each student has been asked to bring an inexpensive gift, and to write a verse to accompany it. The gifts will be hanging immediately and distributed at the close of the party. Initiation service for new members will also be held.
At present there are four camps in the United States at which efficient training has been obtained from the psychological tests, which are given the men in the army.

Oread High School Has Seventy-five Enrolled
Education Students Teach Nine to Eighteen Weeks In Preparation for H. S.
Shoved over on one corner of the campus, "upheralded, unsung," is the institution that prepares the younger generation to wear K. U. jobs and discourse on their favorite brands. And students who might be interested might think. An investigation, however, discloses a modern high school with the best of equipment. Seventy-five students, drawn from Douglas County and surrounding territories, are taught University students make up lacking high school credits at Oread.
The teaching staff is composed of thirty-three seniors and graduate students in the department of education, working under the direction of the faculty of the School of Education, Griffith University, principal of the Oread Training School. These student teachers serve from nine to eighteen weeks.
When the training school was established six years ago it was quartered in Myers Hall. In the summer of 1915 the present building, valued, together with its equipment, at $10,- was erected. A part of the cost was waived. A unit trained the students are required to pay. Since this institution takes the place of a county high school, its instruction is now open to all.
If in doubt what to send either he or she for Christmas, we have a big assortment of our own candies as well as the usual Moore's and Elmus. Wiedemann-Adv
Basketball Team Continues To Improve And Beats Yearlings
Send the Daily Sangan home
Prospects for a winning Jayhawker basketball team looked good yesterday. The men seem to have hit their stride and the rough edges are gradually disappearing. Floor work and passing was emphasized in the workout. Coach Jason Steele advised against the freshmen and neither team encountered stiff opposition.
Miller is Used as Forward—Laslett and Uhrlaub Show Well In Practice
The lineup of the First Varsity squad was changed and Miller was inserted at forward because of his good work at the attacking position. Other other forward position, Mathews was at center and Laslett, Davis and Stephenson worked at the guards. Fearing, a promising candidate for forward, did well to create a scrimage because of an injured leg.
The K. U. guards covered their men closely and the freshmen found it next to impossible to use the dribble safely. Several times Laslitt played the trick of scooping the ball from the frosh forwards on the dribble and Davis is rapidly learning the same play.
The shift in the lineup gave the team new life and the frosh were outclassed. Miller and Uhrlaub worked together like a machine and with Laslett running the floor and taking a part in the goal shooting, the three presented a scoring combination that had the freshmen guards dazed.

It seems rather impossible that any one diminutive specimen of humanity such an Ann Pennington should run the gamut of everything a harum-scarum schoolgirl can do. She plays football, swims, impersonates a famous dancer (this comes easy for Ann), rides on a freight train, and does a number of other stunts, and finally elopes.

Coach Pratt Announces Class Captains Along With Interclass Games
Women Will Start Basketball Series Directly After Xmas Holidays
With the announcement of women class basketball captains and the interclass schedule this morning Coach Hazel Pratt will has all plans worked out to start the women's basketball season immediately after the Christmas holidays. The basketball is the most sport among women athletes here and the coach predicts a more successful season than ever before. At present the senior sextette is picked as the most likely team for the club, the honors this season will receive from the sophomore team is also rated high. But little is known about the strength of the freshman team, because but few practices have been held and all of the candidates are new to the team, the first general rule is that the first year coach should a strong team. Last year the freshman sextet won second place in the interclass series.
Dorothy Querfeld, a star forward of the junior machine last year, has been chosen to lead the senior team this season. She is an exceptionally good athlete, the best woman basketball player in the league. Lucy Heathman will be the junior sextette this season. She is also a good basketball player, and is considered one of the best among the junior candidates. While the sophomore team last year was forced to occupy the lowest rung in the championship ladder, she still predicts a much better, winning this year, as a promising winner in the junior class and with some hard practices they should develop a scoring machine that would be hard to defeat.
Ruth Tratt, another of the best known women athletes, will captain the strong sophomore team this season. She was one of the outstanding players on the freshman team last year that won second place in the championship race. The team she ranks as one of the best women's bass球队 in school. With the advantage of last year's experience and teamwork, her sextet should battle the strong senior team to a draw for the championship this year. Helen Olson, a promising player in the early season practices, has been chosen captain of the freshman sextet. The freshman team is still to be displayed, because but little is known about the records of the freshman candidates.
The plan of the games this year will be somewhat changed from former years. This season the classes will first clash on a percentage basis and then will clash again on an elimination basis. In the eliminated round the team will be eliminated per person will be eliminated from playing at the start, while the teams with the highest and next to the lowest percentages will then clash, so that the team with the low standing will be eliminated immediately.

Scarcity of Coal May Prove Handicap To Back Study

Working Men Hardest Hit
Closing of Spooner to Work Hardship on Students Having Library Work
All buildings of the University will be closed during the Christmas holidays, with the exception of the Chemistry Building, Snow Hall, and Fraser Hall and Spooner Library on Monday morning until 10 o'clock at night. Schools in every part of the state have been closing on account of the lack of fuel, and although John Shea, superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, said the University would allow the authorities ure conservation.
"On account of the coal situation all the buildings of the University will be closed during the Christmas period. We have 6 o'clock in the evening, except the Chemistry Building, Snow Hall, and Fraser Hall, and with the additional exception that Spooner Library will be open from 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock, from 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock."
The closing of Spooner Library, with the exception of two days during vacation, means a hardship on students who have planned to complete book reviews and to do their "catch up" during the holidays in preparation.

Medical students of the University are not attending military drill. When the drill was first begun many of the students cut their hair and left the drill from 5 to 6 o'clock. A company of medical students was organized at that time. After the University Senate passed the ruling that students have classes until 5 o'clock they did not be required to attend drill the medicine. students have ceased going.

They started this work on November 9, and although they have been held back on account of extreme cold weather they expect to have their contract finished by the allotted time.
Anxious Stude Asks About Holiday "Cuts"
Will you kindly inform me whether or not there is any penalty attached to cutting classes before or after the Christmas holidays? I am of the impression that there was a ruling made last year by which one cut before or after any holiday is counted as a triple cut. Is this correct?
Anxious Student:
This office has received several inquiries similar to yours in the last few days. Insofar as we have been able to ascertain, the ruling which you mention was brought up for consideration at this time last year, but no action was taken on it. We have not received any from our authority the Chancellor's office, Dean Olin Templin's office, and visual instructor.

Junior Prom, War me Party Economical Yet Substantial, Managers

The fifteenth annual Jurie's Prom will be a wartime party, adhering to econon, yet with every feature that will make it a creditable production as much along the lines of Proms in former years. Patriotic decoration carrying the color scheme even into the Proms will be a feature of the bier dance.
The Prom management has decided that the $5 admission fee will include the war tax of ten per cent which was levied recently by the Student Council. The dance will be informal even to the doing away with the customary grand march. Flowers and taxis are taboo.
The report of seniors entitled to complimentary tickets on the count of paying their dues last year, has been slow. The names must be turned in to the Prom managers before vacation starts. As yet only a few women have received these tickets, who do not claim the tickets before Christmas will not be allowed them.
Tickets will be sold at the Registrar's office and by students. They will be in the form of receipts and must be exchanged the day of the Prom for tickets that will admit to the party.
"The ticket sale has been good and the fact that many men are leaving school tc take up military work will not detract from the size of the party," said Raymond Hemphill, one of the managers, this morning.
Engineers Met to Draw Societies Closer Together
A union meeting of all societies in the School of Engineering held last night in Marvin Hall was attended by a large and representative audience. Talks were given by members of the faculty and students.
The meeting, according to students who helped manage it, was for the purpose of promoting a more unified spirit among the members of the department; and more in the light of being members of the entire school rather than of departmental societies. Representatives of the six engineering societies: electrical, mechanical, civil, architecture, mining and chemical, were present.
Horace M. Staggs, e'18, spoke on the modern m. T. motor car design for 1918. Flood prevention was the subject of a talk by James Brown, e'18. Harold Beiner, e'20, read a humorous poem. Warren Neumann, e'18 gave an interesting talk on the effect of electricity on the human body, and George Clark, e'18, spoke or fixation of nitrogen.

Lawrence Has Accepted Challenge of Kansas City for Membership Race
Kansas City has said it will have more Red Cross members per capita than any other city. Professor Vander Vries wired the representatives that; "Lawrence accepts the challenge."
"Students who are members of the Red Cross are wearing buttons or tags. Any one who is not a member should join immediately as all who do not wear the insignia by Christmas time will be very noticeably in the minority, said Professor Van der Vries.
Reserve
The ten sophomores from the School of Medicine who enlisted in the Base Hospital Corps last Friday have been transferred to the Medical Enlisted Reserve Corps, according to members of the school. This means that they will be allowed to finish their school work before being called into military service.
The quick transfer they were able to make into the corps they wished to join is attributed to the facts that doctors will be of vast importance to the corps. The other important are medical students. Sworn applications are required of all who wish to join the Medical Reserve Corps, and the dean of the School of Medicine must sign an affidavit saying they are prepared and in good standing in the school.
About thirty other medical students went to Kansas City Tuesday, made applications and took examinations for the Medical Reserve Corps. They were freshmen who are carrying full medical work and will be eligible for entrance in the sophomore class in September.
In signing the application for enlistment in this corps, the student agrees "to respond promptly either before or after graduation to an order from the Surgeon General to active duty." Acceptance of the medical student entitles him to discharge from the selective draft when he is called.

Students To Boost Income Bill Christmas
Glasco advises the students to do personal work for the bill. Some of the counties have not been organized but it is not too late to meet tonight and to make plans for work that can be done at home.
"The success of the Permanent Income Bill depends a great deal upon the work that the students do during vacation." Willard Glasco, president of the County Club Union, said this morning. Some of the literature was circulated this morning and it is hoped the students will take it home to show them how the University bill will benefit the University without raising taxes.
Prof. M. C. Elmer of the Department of Sociology will attend the meeting of the American Sociological Society in Philadelphia December 26 to 30. He will also visit in Wisconsin on his return trip.
K. U. Rookies to Have Guns
“五倍 wooden guns will be ready for the K. U. regiment soon after Christmas,” said L. A. Hartley, instructor in instrument making, this morning. The guns are now under construction and although none are completed, many different parts are made and soon will be assembled.
Instead of giving them all year because of the lack of guns, Although these new guns will not be as heavy as army guns, they are expected to serve their purpose in teaching the men the manual of arms.
Plain Tales From The Hill
Ray Darby was being made up for a play in the dramatic art class. Harold Lytle was rubbing on the grease. "Don't put on so much of that stuff," said Darby, "you make my face look like dough."
"No," said Lytle, "I'm making it look like Ray."
At the Phi Kappa Christmas dinner last night, the freshmen were going to give their brothers a Christmas present. They had it safely hidden under the table awaiting the opportunity moment. As the third course was being dealt out, a succession of melodious beats are born from beneath the table. Big Ben is making his own presentation speech.
Hilton Graham, an entrepreneurizing sophomore of the Phi Pi fraternity, is seriously considering withdrawing from the Law School and entering the School of Fine Arts. The cause of all this is merely this. Hilton wants to cultivate his melodious voice so he can go serenading at the Theta house.
There's a Reason
Why did the band in the concert immediately follow the reveler?
He had a date for the Owl dance Friday night. The night before the dance the telephone rang and of course he broke the date. Then he break the date for the dance? Certainly, but why? Since he had made the date on, Tuesday she had become engaged to another and it wouldn't do so much damage to the date soon after the solemn promise.
Last night at one of the boarding clubs a girl received a diamond, just as a joke, of course. But now it looks so much like the real thing that she has begun to wonder.

Gym and Drill 'Cuts'
Will Draw Penalties
Under Proposed Rule
Absences While Exemption Petitions Pend May Have to be Made Up
Deans Enforce New Edict
Single Cut in Two Weeks to be Allowed, if Order is Approved
Students who cut their gymnasium and drill classes, which are compulsory this fall at the University of Minnesota, make up overtime making up cuts, if the plans of the Senate Compulsory Drill Committee are approved by the University Senate. Some members of the committee also make up of cuts made in the past.
The resolution to that effect was drawn up yesterday afternoon in a lengthy session. The resolution also plans to make it the rule that more than one absence in two weeks will have to be madeup, and that deans must leave which the student is enrolled must decide what the punishment is to be.
Dean G. C. Shaad, of the School of Engineering, who is chairman of the committee that drew up the resolution, was out of town today and could not be seen, while the Chancellor was in town. The same committee, who did not wish his name to be used, said the question was still a secret.
The resolution recommended to the Senate is:
"That those students not exempted by the department of physical education shall be allowed one absence from the prescribed physical education in two weeks. Another absence if unexcused by the department of physical education shall be reported to the dean and the student will be enrolled. The dean shall take such steps as necessary to secure regular attendance of students."
The sentiment the committee expressed was that all students who have applied for exemption but did not qualify should have their cuts made in the past, and the fact of the petition would not excuse any absences made in the past.
Farmers Should Not Be Urged To Become Amateur Coal-Miners
Is it advisable for farmers of Kansas to enter onun any sort of a program to mine the surface coal underlying their farms or make any great attempt to reopen abandoned coal矿ines as a fuel measure? Prof. R, L. Grider, of the department of mining engineering, says "No."
R. L. Grider, Professor of Mining Engineering Says It Would Be Time Wasted
"In the first place," says Mr. Girder, "the best of a farmer's efforts to increase the production of coal would be to raise the price of coal. It must be remembered that the farmer is not in a position to mine coal to any advantage because it is beyond his power to mine coal in the least the cost of production.
"The result of any such agitation to tear up the surface of farms over the state would be to waste a lot of time that might be spent to better advantage in blasting stumps or increasing the fertility of the land. It is not only that we want a small extent the supply of cheap coal available for consumption."
Professor Grider points out the fact that a farmer cannot in a second become a miper and expect to benefit the business thereby. He believes that the economic status of the farmer cries against his taking up this work. "Our department of mining engineering," continued Mr. Grider. "while it is very important for farmers by farmers stands ready at any time to offer advice upon the subject or analyze samples that may be submitted to it by farmers who are convinced that they have a really valuable vein of coal upon their farms."
The regular December meeting of Sigma Xi will be held Thursday, December 20, at the home of Dean L. E. Sayre, 1232 Ohio St. The paper of the evening will be given by Prof. N. P. Sherwood on "The Effect of Certain Organic Substances on Bacteriological Reactions."
Winthrop P. Haynes, Joseph E. Welker, Harold J. Shelly, and Ida K. Fargher, the members elected at the October meeting will be initiated.
There will be no Red Cross classes tomorrow in Fraser Chapel.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1917
CHRISTMAS
Although we are not within the sound of the guns, the whirr of the aeroplanes, or the noise of battle, we experience something of the War because we already feel deeply the absence of many friends. The home circle to which the Christmas celebration has in former years been limited, is now in many cases broken.
For this reason the immortal message of Christmas will spread throughout the Nation until it reaches the hearts of all men away from their home fire-sides. They stand ready to pay the highest gift in their possession to humanity. We should learn from them the true Christmas message, "On earth peace to men of good will."
When the Red Cross solicitor calls, a wise man and his dollar are soon parted.
THE SERVICE FLAG
Perhaps no one on the Hill woule oppose the idea of a University service flag, yet what is an apparent lack of interest in this undertaking is serving as effectively to check the movement as if the matter were strictly taboo. A University service flag would be worth while, but like all things worth while, it will be achieved only with effort.
The actual response of students to the requests for names published recently is discouraging to those who have the work in hand. No progress can be made until all the names are supplied. It is estimated that the total will reach 1,000 and possibly 1,100. This means individual effort on the part of students. It means the spending of five minutes, or the time needed to report to the office of the Registrar or Alumni Association, the names of former Kansas men now in any branch of the service.
Let us all make this effort. It is the least that can be asked of us Let the new year tell early the beginning chapter of the 'University's sacrifice.
Become a member of the Red Cross or some one may think you are a candidate for an iron cross.
A COMING HERITAGE
Slowly but surely the small towns in a never ending imitation of the city, are substituting the electric bulb for the old-fashioned "coal o1" lamp. It is almost a maxim in America that practical things become popular. The pressing of a button has become one of the simplest things of our complex civilization.
And so over night the electric current enters our homes. It lights our rooms, cleans our rugs and cooks our food. Next week it will illuminate our Christmas trees.
But there is nothing poetic about the mere pressing of a button. No matter how brilliant the light, it
lacks the warm and comforting glow of the oil light. The merriest of modern Christmas Eves can never blot the memory of the days when our Christmas joys were revealed 'round the parlor lamp.
It is a significant fact that the passing of the kerosene lamp has gone hand in hand with the breaking up of the old-fashioned home life. The power of the old lamp as the center of the home circle is well known. The power of the white way as a destroyer of that circle is today even more evident.
The oil lamp may have passed forever, but the memory of it is still with us. Its traditions will be the heritage of generations to come.
The time has come when the people of this nation must learn to save and form habits of thrift. If everyone would deny himself for the period of the war those things that are needless, the value of the thrif habit could not be computed in terms of money. It would mean much to the American people to become a nation of savers instead of spenders.
You will have a merry Christmas and a happy new year if you work for the Permanent Income Bill during the holidays.
ON OTHER "HILLS"
The government has established a naval training station at the University of Washington. It is reported that the university's permanent government training school.
A married students' club has been formed at the University of Indiana which is conducted "without the aid of a professor, or other unmarried students."
The University of Texas is preparing a pageant based on the history of Texas. It will be given in the spring.
The University of Arkansas is furnishing silent reading tests for the school children of Arkansas in a few years ago by Dean F. J. Kelly of K. U.
DePauw's Christmas tree is to be weighted down with presents for every man and woman in that university. The Christmas gift the man has been prepared by the students.
Letters of cheer will be substituted for Christmas gifts this year by the women of Texas University.
SELF MASTERY
At the time he was being composed
the music for "Pinafore," one of the merriest
of operas, Sir Arthur Sullivan
was suffering from a most painful
disease, and on nearly an hour
the wheel was on that he was not
at the veneer of fainting.
If Sullivan could keep his labors untainted of groans, how much easier it must be for us who seldom experience such sufferings. It takes but little self-disciple to keep irritation to oneself, to force cheerfulness to maintain the upper hand of depression, to present a brave face to all about us, the person who says what he came what he did to him unafraid has the greatest thing in life, the mastery of his own spirit. Like Sullivan he can make the world happy while he himself may endure the pains of crucifixion—Toledo Blade.
POET'S CORNER
The winds of God are past control,
They answer to no human call,
And if I lose my living soul
That is—for me—the end of all.
A POET ENLISTS
And all the songs that I might sing-
Madness to risk them so, you say?
How is it such a certain thing
How is it such a certain thing?
That I can sing them if I stay?
And if I lose my living soul
That is—for me—the end of all.
Better to shout one last great song,
Dying myself, dying men,
That'll help but hurt you.

And never sing again.

Sometimes
Greetings
Across the fields of yesterday
He sometimes comes to me,
A little lad just back from play—
The lad I used to be.
And yet he smiles so wistfully
Once he has crept within,
I wonder if he hopes to see
The man I might have been.

Daily Varsity-Freshmen Fights Bring Out Good Material for Basketball
Although Coach Hamilton has made no attempt to pick a squad from the host of candidates who have been reporting every afternoon for basketball practice, he has had an excellent chance to get a line on the men from their play in the Varsity-Freshman scrimmages and those players who have been showing the best form in the league to represent the Crimson and Blue against the Camp Funston soldiers here January 10.
Outlook for Other Conference Teams Poor—Kansas' Chances Bright
Kansas prospects are probably as good as those of any other Valley team, with the possible exception' of Missouri, where a veteran team will represent the school. Both the Ames and Kansas Aggies have been greatly weakened on account of the win and fatigue that follows, but they return to school. The Jayhawker forces will have to be built around Captain Dutch Uhrlaub and Scrubby Laslett. Uhrlaub was chosen as forward on the second all-Valli selection last year and Laslett was one of the scrappiest guards in the conference, and with these veterans as a nucleus, Coach Hamilton is excited that he quintet that will give the other Valleys a fight for the conference title.
Uhrlaub, who was shifted to guard when practice began several weeks ago, has returned to his old position at forward and it is likely that the team will be back in the season. The other forward is a tosup, with Miller, Bunn, Fearing, Lonborg and Keeler as the leading candidates for the position. Miller is a good goal shooter and Burn and Fearing are the best squads for the squad. Mathews has the edge on the job at center although Hoeikvam is press him closely. Davis and Stephenson have been alternating as Scrabby Lasley's running mate while Knochen and Knoles are other guards who are seen showing up well.
K. U Students Will Entertain
The K. U. Dickinson County Club will entertain the seniors of the county high schools at Abilee, January 4. They will present college life in the "K. U. Follies" in addition to discussing the Permanent Income Amendment. Last year the Dickinson County Club gave a banquet for IH high school enrollment, R.I. City administration of journalism spoke. The senators and representatives, the K. U. Alumni, and the high school faculties will also be guests of the club.
Live topics have been submitted to the members of the senior class of the School of Law in the Contest of the State Bar Association. Papers must be in by January 10. The topics are Suspended from the School of Law prior to the Submarine in International Law," and "Civil and Military Jurisdiction in Time of War."
